Something Is Happening -UPDATED 4/17/13

To say that the events of the past few days have been surreal would be an understatement. The Boston Marathon bombing is seemingly yet another incident in a chain of events leading to some kind of mysterious end game to which the common man can barely conceive. It began in earnest last year with the Aurora theater shooting and continued throughout the remainder of 2012 via a series of high profile public shootings that climaxed with the Sandy Hook school shooting on December 14.

Since 2013 has commenced a more subtle form of terrorism has gripped the nation. There are of course the three high profile assassinations of justice officials, which may possibly be linked to neo-Nazi prison gangs, as well as the bizarre disappearance and murders of a large number of canines in Idaho near an area that was involved in the famous 1947 wave of UFO sightings (which included the Kenneth Arnold sighting as well as Roswell), the topic of which I've written known as recently as here.

And now comes the Boston Marathon bombing. As can be expected this incident is riddled with twilight language. Of course Boston itself is considered to be one of the earliest and staunchest Masonic cities in North America. Researcher Nicholas Hagger, whose work is highly speculative at best, argues that multiple branches of Freemasonry developed in Boston by the 18th century, and at times came into conflict with one another. The first type of Freemasonry to set root there was "English Freemasonry" (Hagger also refers to it as Rosicrucian Freemasonry), which fell under the jurisdiction of the United Grand Lodge of England.

"In 1733 Rosicrucian Freemasonry formerly entered America when St. John's Lodge was established in Boston. It became the Masonic capital of Britain's American colonies. By 1737 there were lodges in Massachusetts, New York, Pennsylvania and South Carolina, all committed to implementing the plan for a Utopian New Atlantis."

(The Secret Founding of America, Nicholas Hagger, pg. 97) 

According to Hagger, the next type of Freemasonry to come to Boston was the Jacobite variety, which he refers to as Templarism. It is this style of masonry, which was practiced in Ireland, Scotland, and France at this time in history, that would eventually become known as the Scottish Rite.

"In 1746 many Irish and Scottish Templar Jacobites fled to America and some brought with them the French Scottish Rite which Charles Edward Stuart had founded. In 1756 Jacobean Templarism came to Boston. It's American headquarters were at St. Andrews Lodge. It offered higher degrees in English masonry: in 1769 it offered a new degree, the Knights Templar degree."

(ibid, pg. 103)

Strangely, these two separate lodges apparently came into conflict with each other during the Boston Massacre.

"Templar Freemason's St. Andrews Lodge in Boston had come into conflict with Rosicrucian Freemason's St. John's Lodge in Boston in 1761. Now the Templars of Boston (including John Hancock and Paul Revere) had the support of Templars in Virginia (including Patrick Henry and Richard Henry Lee, who in 1769 persuaded the Virginia Assembly to condemn the British government). The Boston massacre of 1770 saw the Templar St. Andrew's Lodge take the side of the rioters and Rosicrucian Freemasonry take the side of the British sentries. The day after the massacre the citizens gathered at Old South Meeting House and demanded the British troops should leave Boston."

(ibid, pg. 103)

Much more information on Boston's Masonic history can be found in this highly insightful post by Loren Coleman on his blog Twilight Language.

Curiously, the city of Boston also witnessed one of the earliest UFO sightings by colonists in North America.

"What must surely have been one of the earliest American exposures to unidentified flying objects occurred over Boston harbor in March 1639. Governor John Winthrop recorded in his Journal that large numbers of reputable citizens had sighted mystery lights. Five years later, on January 18, 1644, other lights about the size of the full moon were seen by many persons on the waterfront. Two of them were playing aerial tag with one another over Noodle's Island. A week later, the two lights appeared again, and one of them alone a week after that. In each of these cases, disembodied voices were heard booming out nonsensical commands."

(Weird America, William Grimstad, pg. 103)

The unicorn is the symbol of the Boston Marathon. The symbol was apparently chosen 10 years prior to the first Boston Marathon by the Boston Athletic Association, the organization that sponsors the marathon. The mythological unicorn is rich with esoteric meaning.

"With its single horn set in the middle of its forehead, the unicorn also symbolizes a spiritual arrow, a sun-ray, the sword of God, divine revelation or the godhead penetrating its creation. In Christian iconography, it stands for the Virgin who has conceived by the Holy Spirit. The single horn may also symbolize a stage upon the way of differentiation, from biological procreation (sexuality) to psychic evolution (a sexual oneness) and to sexual sublimation. The single horn has also been compared with 'a frontal penis' or 'phallus of the psyche...', the symbol of spiritual fecundity. Yet, at the same time, the unicorn is the symbol of physical virginity. Alchemists regarded it as an image of the hermaphrodite, but this would seem to be a misunderstanding --instead of possessing a twofold sexuality the unicorn transcends sexuality itself. In the Middle Ages the unicorn became the symbol of the word of God made flesh within the womb of the Virgin Mary."

(Dictionary of Symbols, Jean Chevalier & Alain Gheerbrant, pg. 1055)

The date, April 15, of this event is also interesting. April 15, 1865 witnessed the death of Abraham Lincoln while the 1912 version  was the day on which the Titanic sank. In general the month of April, but especially the period from the middle to the end of the month, have witnessed several major events and tragedies in recent (and not so recent) years: the assassination of Martin Luther King Jr. (April 4, 1968); the start of the American Civil War (April 12, 1861); the Virginia Tech massacre (April 16, 2007); the beginning of the American Revolutionary War, the final day of the Waco siege and the Oklahoma City bombing (April 19, 1775, 1993 and 1995 respectively); Hitler's birthday and Columbine (April 20, 1889 and 1999 respectively); and Hitler's suicide (April 30, 1945). The timeframe from April 19 till April 30 has gained a special significance to both the American Patriot movement and Christian Identity/white supremacist underground in recent years.

"Patriots' Day (April 19), the date the Revolutionary War began, now has links to a date holding symbolic importance around the nation. Ipril 19 is historically significant. In 1943, the Nazis entered the Warsaw Ghetto, in 1993, the Waco raid occurred, and then in 1995, the Alfred P. Murrah Federal Building in Oklahoma City was bombed.  

"This last event has also been tied to April 19, 1985, when 200 lawmen surrounded the Arkansas compound of the paramilitary Covenant, the Sword and the Arm. When the CSA surrendered four days later, authorities discovered that several members of The Order, the group accused of assassinating Denver radio talk-show host Alan Berg, were hiding at the CSA compound. Kerry Noble, who was second-in-command for the CSA, told the Denver Post, 'Dates are so important in the movement. Everything has to have some kind of significance, either with the dates or numbers or something.' One of the people who found particular significance in the April 19 date was white supremacist Richard Wayne Snell, who had been associated with the CSA. A decade earlier he allegedly plotted to blow up the Murrah Building in Oklahoma City.  At three minutes past noon on April 19, 1995 -- three hours after the Oklahoma City blast --Snell turned to a prison official as they watched live coverage of the tragedy. According to the minute-by-minute log of Snell's last days on death row, Snell told the prison lieutenant that 'today is a very significant day for various reasons.' On April 19, 1995, Snell was executed in Arkansas."

The states of Massachusetts and Maine both celebrate Patriots' Day on the third Monday of each year, which happen to fall upon April 15 this year, as Loren Coleman noted here. In recent years April 15 has also become known as Tax Day in the United States, the final day on which Americans can file their taxes.

Thus far nothing concrete has emerged in terms of suspects. Naturally the right is already trying to peg the attack on Islamic terrorists, the notion helped in no small part by the fact that a Saudi man (who was later described by authorities as a witness to the blast) was allegedly detained in the immediate aftermath of the explosion. The great neocon propaganda arm otherwise known as WorldNetDaily claims to have anonymous sources alleging that jihadists have been arrested in Afghanistan and Pakistan in connection with the Boston Marathon bombing, a claim that will no doubt appeal to people who still believe that Iraq had weapons of mass destruction.

Still, the date of the attack as well as the event itself would seem to make much more sense from a symbolic standpoint for an organization affiliated with far right movements such as the Patriot, militia and Christian Identity variety. At least one Massachusetts Congressman has already made the connection. Such a connection would be especially striking coming in the wake of the after mentioned assassinations of three high profile justice officials (at least one of which being committed by a member of a neo-Nazi prison gang) as well as the general wave of right-wing terrorism (i.e., the Sikh Temple shooting; the murder spree of Israel Keyes; and the Sandy Hook school shooting, which was committed by an individual surrounded by doomsday/prepper ideology as I noted before here) that has swept the nation of late.

So much for the Boston Marathon bombing. Tuesday, April 16, also witnessed to rather curious events: The first was a review issued by an independent task force stating that the highest US officials bore responsibility for the "indisputable" use of torture during the Bush era, a revelation that will all but be ignored in the wake of the Boston Marathon bombing. This is all certainly very convenient for Bush II, Cheney, and the rest of the gang, no doubt.

Then later in the afternoon it was revealed that a letter sent to Mississippi Sen. Roger Wicker (R) contain traces of the poison ricin. MSNBC reports:

"A letter intended to reach Sen. Roger Wicker, R-Miss., was intercepted at an off-site facility after testing positive for a deadly poison, FBI officials said late Tuesday.

"An initial test of the mail, which was caught during an off-site postal screening process in Landover, Maryland, detected the letters contained the poison ricin, according to officials. A second test conducted in a lab also came back positive for the poison. 

"The envelope never made it to Wicker's office. No one at the off-site facility was exposed to the substance, according to sources familiar with the mailing...

"Senators were made aware of the incident during a briefing Tuesday evening regarding the attack at the Boston marathon. Sen. Claire McCaskill, D-Mo., told NBC News the individual who sent the letter is known to send correspondence to elected officials. Authorities have identified a suspect who 'writes to a lot of members,' McCaskill said.

"The FBI and United States Capitol Police are both investigating the mailing which was postmarked from Memphis, Tennessee and had no return address."

Wicker

There are several striking instances of twilight language in this incident as well, the most obvious being the Senator's last name: Wicker, as in Wicker man. While the Wicker man has gained much infamy in recent years it should be reminded that only convicted criminals were allegedly ever executed in Wicker men by the Celts.

"Condemned criminals were reserved by the Celts in order to be sacrificed to the gods at a great festival which took place once in every five years. The more there were of such victims, the greater was believed to be the fertility of the land. If there were not enough criminals to furnish victims, captives taken in war were immolated to supply the deficiency. When the time came the victims were sacrificed by the Druids or priests. Some they shot down with arrows, some they impaled, and some they burned alive in the following manner. Colossal images of wicker-work or of wood and grass were constructed; these were filled with live men, cattle, and animals of other kinds; fire was then applied to the images, and they were burned with their living contents.   

"Such were the great festivals held once every five years. But besides these quinquennial festivals, celebrated on so grand a scale, and with, apparently, so large an expenditure of human life, it seemed reasonable to suppose that festivals of the same sort, only on a lesser scale, were held annually, and that from these annual festivals are lineally descended some at least of the fire-festivals which, with their traces of human sacrifice, are still celebrated year by year in many parts of Europe. The gigantic images constructed of osiers or covered with grass in which the Druids enclosed their victims remind us of the leafy framework in which the human representative of the tree-spirit is still so often encased."
 (The Golden Bough, James Frazer, pgs. 745-746)

The Wicker man was also seemingly referenced in one of the notorious Son of Sam letters sent to the press allegedly by David Berkowitz in which he made allusions to a "Wicked King Wicker." The Son of Sam killings coincided with the disappearances and killings of a large number of canines, especially German shepherds, not unlike what is currently taking place in Idaho, as I noted before here.

David "Son of Sam" Berkowitz

Roger Wicker currently resides in Tupelo, Mississippi. Tupelo was recently in the news due to the bizarre drive-by shooting of a circus elephant (the elephant is the symbol of the Republican Party, which is usually staunchly pro-gun) belonging to the Ringling Bros. and Barnum and Bailey Circus there. It is also the birthplace of the King of Rock 'n Roll, Elvis Presley, an event that was immortalized in the classic Nick Cave and the Bad Seeds' song "Tupelo."

All of this makes the fact that the letter was allegedly sent from Memphis, Tennessee, all the more curious from a synchronistic perspective. The city of Memphis, both the ancient and modern versions, are reputedly highly important in the occult.

"Memphis was the city of the Egyptian kings that was the fabled repository of the severed head of Osiris. Memphis, Tennessee is associated in the Group Mind with two dead 'kings,' Martin Luther King Jr. and Elvis Presley. This city in America's 'Little Egypt' region is part of mystical toponomy. It was established by the Masonic Rite of Memphis and Mizraim which specialized in the 'magnetic' masonry of Anton Mesmer...

"In 1991, a 32 story pyramid, anchored on the bluffs of the Mississippi, was constructed in Memphis. It is known locally as 'The Tomb of Doom'"

(Secret Societies and Psychological Warfare, Michael A. Hoffman, pg. 81)

the modern Memphis pyramid

This makes Wicker's residency in Tupelo all the more curious. Even more curious is the fact that Wicker was one of 16 Republican senators who voted last Thursday to move forward on the controversial gun control measures currently working their way through Congress. Surely it's just a coincidence that a letter containing ricin would be sent to him less than a week later. It will be interesting to observe how he votes the next time such a measure is before the Senate, however.

And it is here that I shall wrap things up for now. While nothing remotely definitive has come out yet concerning the Boston Marathon bombing or the mysterious, ricin-laced letter sent to Senator Wicker the circumstances behind these events, as well as several recent others, paint a truly disturbing picture if even a fraction of the connections I've written on are correct. Something is most definitely happening in the United States right now, something that could potentially affect the course of this country for years to come. Be alert dear readers.

 

 

UPDATED 4/17/13:

 

Authorities officially charge someone with the murders of Mark Hasse, Mike and Cynthia McLelland: Kim Lene Williams. Williams is the wife of Eric, a former justice of the peace who was convicted of theft after being prosecuted by Hasse and McLelland. Apparently Mrs. Williams confessed to involvement in the murders but claimed that it was her husband who actually did the killings. Thus far this seems like the type of classic "lone nut" scenario that we've all witnessed far too many times. I will be most interested to see what group affiliations, if any, Mr. Williams has.

 

Also today it was announced that Pres. Barack Obama was also sent a letter containing the poison ricin. This announcement was made shortly before Congress shot down legislation to expand background checks on firearm purchases. Later in the day a suspect for the ricin-laced letters was announced: Paul Kevin Curtis of Corinth, Mississippi. Apparently on April 11 Curtis posted a rant on his Facebook page claiming that he was on the front line of the war against the Mafia and a black market organ harvesting scheme, which may have played into his desire to send ricin-laced letters to the president and Senator Wicker. Naturally Mr. Curtis also happens to be an Elvis impersonator.

It also appears that a fertilizer plant exploded near Waco, Texas today, a mere two days shy of the 20 year anniversary of the final day of the Waco siege. Unreal.

More Dead German Shepherds in Idaho as 4/20 Approaches

 

Reports out of Idaho indicate that four more dead dogs have been discovered and they have been described as being of "German shepherd mixes." Yahoo! News states:

"Four dogs have been found beaten in the head and shot to death in rural southern Idaho, authorities said on Thursday, adding to the mysterious disappearance and killing of dozens of dogs that has left residents in that area on edge. 

"Examinations showed that the German Shepherd mixes, whose carcasses had been dumped in a pile off a highway south of Twin Falls, had been bludgeoned and shot in the head, said Gary Trostel, deputy with the Twin Falls County Sheriff's Office. 

"'We didn't know until today how they had died: poisoned or shot or what. We knew it was some type of head trauma the way the eyes bulged out and with all the bleeding,' Trostel said. 

"Animal control officers reported last month that roughly 30 dogs had gone missing since November in Twin Falls and nearby communities in a farming region known as the Magic Valley. 

"A German shepherd discovered by hikers last month in an area known as the Devil's Corral in neighboring Jerome County appeared to have suffered what animal control officers called a 'ritualistic execution' in which its head was crushed with rock and its carcass covered with a purple cloth. 

"Trostel said an examination of that dog showed it had been beaten and shot in the head."

the first German shepherd found

As regular readers of this blog are well aware I was quite fascinated with the initial report of the dead German shepherd being discovered with ritualistic trappings around the body as well as the sudden disappearance of canines in the area. I wrote extensively on the significance of this finding here, but in brief: In recent decades the sudden disappearance of canines and the discovery of their bodies, especially the German shepherd breed, with ritualistic trappings has coincided with strange, sometimes violent and frequently occult-laden events. Researchers such as Ed Sanders, Maury Terry,  and especially Peter Levenda have compellingly argued that German shepherd sacrifices are a kind of calling card for an underground cult network involved in various illegal activities and with ties to several notorious serial killers such as Charles Manson and David "Son of Sam" Berkowitz. Of these ties Levenda writes:

"For some reason, there have been reports of sacrifices of large numbers of dogs, mostly German shepherds, throughout the United States in the past thirty-odd years, but notably in areas where we discover confirmed cult activity. This was as true in Berkowitz's Yonkers neighborhood as it was in Walden, New York, where a 'total of eighty-five skinned German shepherds and Dobermans were found' in a single year 'between October 1976 and October 1977.' The day after Berkowitz's arrest in Yonkers, the bodies of three slain German shepherds were found in an aqueduct behind his apartment. Two have been strangled with chains; the third had been shot in the head.

"Two days before his arrest, someone phoned an animal shelter using his name and address, inquiring about adopting a German shepherd that had been advertised in a local paper. A few hours later, someone else called from the same street in Yonkers, also inquiring about the dog. This caller said he was ' fixing some cars' on Pine Street; an allusion that Terry believes actually refers to the Carr family who figure so prominently in this case. As it turned out, two men did visit the shelter, including one who resembled Berkowitz, but according to Berkowitz himself it was not he, although he acknowledges that someone may have been impersonating him on the phone...

"Remember that serial killer Jeffrey Dahmer's first kill was the ritual slaughter of a dog behind his home in Ohio, which cumulated in his placing the dog skull atop a stake hammered into the earth; and, around the time of the Sam killings, the author heard convincing rumors of the abuse and slaughter of dogs in a warehouse near Brooklyn Heights, within walking distance of the Warlock Shop, before Berkowitz was arrested and the connection with dogs was made.

"Terry connects the German Shepherd sacrifices with the Process, due to their fondness for the animals. Members of the Process in those halcyon days of the 1960s were to be seen around San Francisco dressed in black and leading shepherds on the leash. The 'Fear' issue of the Process magazine featured a photo spread of twenty German shepherds in a menacing pose. It doesn't automatically follow, however, that the Process would sacrifice the animals.

"Another symbolic associations that should be mentioned is the fact that Hitler favored German shepherds above all other animals. That there might be a Nazi or neo-Nazi element to the Son of Sam cult should not be ignored, especially as mass murderer Fred Cowan -- one of the 'Sons' according to Berkowitz --was a neo-Nazi."
(Sinister Forces Book III, pgs. 197-198)

Hitler with a German shepherd

The long alleged association of this network with the white supremacist underground in the United States is most compelling in light of recent events, namely the assassinations of Colorado Department of Corrections head Tom Clements and Texas DA Mike McLelland. Thus far two neo-Nazi prison gangs, the 211 Crew and the Aryan Brotherhood of Texas respectively, have been closely linked to these assassinations. An assistant DA, Mark Hasse, who worked for McLelland, was also assassinated on January 31 in the same town (Kaufman) as McLelland. Strangely, these assassinations roughly coincide with the beginning of the canine disappearances in Idaho. The Idaho Statesman reports:

"A Twin Falls Animal Shelter board member has compiled a list of 34 dogs that have reportedly gone missing in the Magic Valley area since Feb. 1, some from fenced home yards and locked areas.

"Amber Halsell said she began keeping a list after noticing an unusually large number of disappearing pets — and strange circumstances."

There is much twilight language present in the location where the body of the first dead German shepherd was found as I already explained before here. The town, Twin Falls, around which the five dead German shepherd have been discovered is no stranger to high weirdness either.

"An object measuring 30.5 inches that looked 'similar to the cymbals used by a drummer in a band, placed face to face' had been recovered two weeks earlier by Mrs. Fred Eastbrook in Twin Falls, Idaho. Mrs. Eastbrook turned it over to an FBI agent named W. G. Banister. 'The gadget is gold plated on one side and silver, stainless steel, aluminum or tin on the other,' reported the Tacoma paper, which used only Bannister as the source. The East Oregonian had covered the story of the two-and-half foot saucer and noted that assistant chief of Twin Falls' police E. McCracken said that army intelligence authorities had ordered his department 'not to talk' about the many-saucer. 'The object was taken into a back room at the police station and put under lock and key,' said McCracken. 'We were told to keep our mouths shut, and not describe the object to anyone.' All reference to these strong-arm tactics was left out of the next East Oregonian report, as were the names of the four boys that assistant chief McCracken claimed had made the disc from parts of an old photograph. A clear pattern of cover-up can be seen in the newspaper record of this sighting."

(JFK & UFO, Kenn Thomas, pgs. 41-42)

Apparently the first dead German shepherd was found near Snake River Canyon which, according to the above newspaper clipping, is near where the 1947 UFO was witnessed

The appearance of W. G. Banister,  commonly known as Guy Banister, in this incident should have raised the eyebrows of veteran conspiracy researchers: Banister is a man long believed to have played some type of role in the assassination of JFK:

"Guy Banister's name is well --known among conspiracy aficionados as another one of the men implicated by New Orleans District Attorney Jim Garrison in the Kennedy assassination. It was Guy Banister -by this time a former FBI agent --who rented office space at the same location stamped on Lee Harvey Oswald's 'Fair Play for Cuba Committee' flyers. Banister was running an anti-Castro Cuban operation from his investigator's office, an operation that attracted the likes of former Eastern Airlines pilot and assassination suspect David Ferrie. Oswald was running a pro-Castro Cuban operation from the same address, an anomaly that could only be explained if one understood that Banister and Oswald were working together, and that the pro-Castro operation was a front for some other, even more nefarious, purpose. Further, while Banister was FBI Special Agent in Charge (SAC) of the Chicago field office during World War II, one of his FBI subordinates was James McCord of Watergate 'plumbers' fame, and another was Robert A. Maheu: the man who would later become head of his own investigative agency and an employee of Howard Hughes, the man whose agency was started by money won from James McInerney, the assistant Attorney General who was involved in the Jack Parsons investigation. Maheu would go on to become the man in the middle between the CIA and organized crime in the assassination plots against Castro.  

"Banister was --during the time of the Arnold sighting, the Maury Island affair, Roswell --an FBI Special Agent assigned to the Butte, Montana field office, which was responsible for several western states, including Idaho (where Kenneth Arnold resided). A look at recently declassified FBI files for that period in 1947 show a number of telexes from Banister, some with his initials 'WGB.' all pertaining to UFO phenomena, as well as other FBI documents with the designation 'Security Matter -X' or simply 'SM-X,' the origin -the author supposes -of the 'X-Files,' which at least in 1947 did exist at the FBI and was concerned with UFOs (as well as with the federal investigation of Wilhelm Reich, the pioneer psychoanalyst whose 'orgone therapy' had run afoul of the medical establishment and who himself was a firm believer in the existence of UFOs). 

"Usually, when Banister is referenced in connection with the Kennedy assassination, he is mentioned as having been with the FBI in Chicago for many years, which is undoubtedly true, but the period in Butte put him in the middle of the seminal UFO event of the twentieth century.
(Sinister Forces Book One, Peter Levenda, pgs. 173-174)

Banister

Banister's investigation of the bizarre object found in Twin Falls occurred in 1947 during the first  great modern wave of UFO sightings (which included the Kenneth Arnold sighting and Roswell). And now, nearly 66 years later, dogs are disappearing in Twin Falls and German shepherds are showing up dead via some kind of peculiar injury to their heads. And all of this is happening against a backdrop of white supremacist violence, which I've written much more on here, that has been unfolding across the United States over the last year.

And if all of this wasn't strange enough there's also there's also the fact that the recent assassinations have occurred during the airing of The Following on Fox. I've already written more on the series before here, but in brief: It revolves around an incarcerated serial killer known as Joe Carroll, a former English professor obsessed with the works of Edgar Allan Poe (whose works show a strongly anti-Masonic leaning) who founded a cult while in prison comprised of other serial killers and extremists such as militia members. Eventually Carroll is able to escape and take over direct control of his cult, which seems poised to conduct some type of bizarre terror campaign at present in the series.

Cleary this show, whether intentionally or not, echoes many of the theories surrounding this long alleged underground cult network in the United States. I find it especially interesting that militia members have been worked heavily into the plot line of late as I suspect there is some type of connection between this alleged cult network and far right paramilitary groups as I speculated before here.

Especially ominous about this series of events and synchronicities are three fast approaching dates, two of which that have witnessed major national tragedies in recent years, and all of which have much significance to the white supremacist and neo-Nazi underground: April 19, April 20 and April 30.

"April 19 is historically significant. In 1943, the Nazis entered the Warsaw Ghetto, in 1993, the Waco raid occurred, and then in 1995, the Alfred P. Murrah Federal Building in Oklahoma City was bombed.

"This last event has also been tied to April 19, 1985, when 200 lawmen surrounded the Arkansas compound of the paramilitary Covenant, the Sword and the Arm. When the CSA surrendered four days later, authorities discovered that several members of The Order, the group accused of assassinating Denver radio talk-show host Alan Berg, were hiding at the CSA compound. Kerry Noble, who was second-in-command for the CSA, told the Denver Post, 'Dates are so important in the movement. Everything has to have some kind of significance, either with the dates or numbers or something.' One of the people who found particular significance in the April 19 date was white supremacist Richard Wayne Snell, who had been associated with the CSA. A decade earlier he allegedly plotted to blow up the Murrah Building in Oklahoma City.  At three minutes past noon on April 19, 1995 -- three hours after the Oklahoma City blast --Snell turned to a prison official as they watched live coverage of the tragedy. According to the minute-by-minute log of Snell's last days on death row, Snell told the prison lieutenant that 'today is a very significant day for various reasons.' On April 19, 1995, Snell was executed in Arkansas."

(The Copycat Effect, Loren Coleman, pgs. 249-250) 

the Murrah Federal Building

April 20, which is the birthday of Adolf Hitler, also witnessed a major national tragedy in 1999: the Columbine school shooting.

"Harris and Klebold appeared to have deliberately chosen the anniversary date of Hitler's birthday for their attack. At one point Harris and Klebold had also considered the highly important date of April 19 -- the anniversary of Waco and the Oklahoma City bombing --but transportation problems forced a delay in their plans. They finally carried out their attack on the twentieth, speaking German and 'honoring' Hitler."

(ibid, pg. 175)

images from Columbine

The date of 4/20 has also become highly significant in cannabis culture, becoming something of a national "smoke-out" day. Strangely, cannabis and this holiday also have bizarre ties to the Nazis, as I've documented before here.

The date of April 30 has also been historically important in German culture. The eve of it, known as Walpurgis Night, has a long association with witchcraft.

"In central Europe it was apparently on Walpurgis Night, the Eve of May Day, above all other times that the baleful powers of the witches were exerted to the fullest extent; nothing therefore could be more natural than that men should be on their guard against them at that season, and that, not content with merely standing on their defense, they should boldly have sought to carry the war into the enemy's quarters by attacking and forcibly expelling the uncanny crew."

(The Golden Bough, James Frazer, pgs. 574-575)

In modern times the date of April 30 has become especially important in Nazi mysticism as it is the day on which Hitler committed suicide in 1945.

Needless to say, the timeframe beginning on April 19 and ending on April 30 has witnessed more than its fair share of curious events and tragedies in recent years, especially in the Nazi/white supremacist underground. The disappearance and apparent murder of dogs, specifically German shepherds, in Idaho is especially ominous as we approach this time frame. Then there are those assassinations, which make things all the more sinister.
