1890 - European Domination - "In this period   [1890-1900], Europe reached the peak of its power. Four centuries earlier,   it had been a materially backward region, not to be compared in wealth and   culture with the great empires of Asia. It had been at the mercy of Asian   invaders, prostrate before the Mongols in the thirteenth century, and unable   to fend off the Ottoman Turks in the sixteenth century.
   "Yet by 1890, the American continents, Australia, and New Zealand   were ruled by the descendants of Europeans. Virtually all of Africa and the   Pacific islands have been carved up and placed under European domination.   In Asia, large tracts such as Siberia and India were under the direct control   of Europeans, while independant nations such as the Ottoman Empire, Persia,   Afghanistan, Siam, and China were under continual and increasing European   pressure and interference. In all the world, the only nation that seemed   to be at once non-European and strong was Japan, and that was at the price   of adopting much European technology and culture."

1890 - Most Influential Nation / Great Britain - "Of all the European powers, Great Britain, on a world-wide scale, was   predominant. The British empire included roughly a quarter of the land area   of the world, and roughly a quarter of its population as well. Its strong   economy and its strong navy made it the most influential nation in the world,   and much of that part of the world that it did not own outright, nevertheless,   remained under economic subjection to it."

The East African territory would have meant little to Germany but   it built up Helgoland into a first-class naval base, and apparently the British   didn't forsesee this."

On 8 September 1890, Th�r�se took her vows;   the ceremony of taking the veil followed on the 24th, when she added   to her name in religion, 'of the Holy Face', a title which was to   become increasingly important in the development and character of her inner   life.[68[....]"

1891
1891 - Neptune-Pluto Conjunction - "Neptune-Pluto   [7-8 Gemini] conjunction [1891-1892]. Neptune-Pluto cycles last about 495   years - half a millennium. The movements of Pluto, in history, seem to chart   the actual mechanics of fundamental factual change. Pluto's keyword,   'transformation', has 'form' in the middle of it. The movements of Neptune   chart evolving social imagery and perceptual constructs - ideas, beliefs   and contexts of understanding. When event-fundamentals and beliefs-perceptions   interact, we get the basic undertow of history and its themes. Thus, in   Neptune-Pluto cycles, we see a basic driving-force which moves and drives   historic tendencies and trends. What humans do with this is what makes our   world." [Link: 1 ]
*Trivia: "In terms of specific events, the 1890s   were a relatively quiet period – the Europeans were by now world masters,   by both fair means and foul – and they were beginning to lose the initiative   too, to their colonised subjects. But first, there were some seeds to sow.   The decades around the 1890s saw the beginning of flight, the internal combustion   engine, electrical technologies, plastics, pharmaceuticals, corporate   multinationals, telegraphy, psychotherapy, the new age movement (Theosophy   and spiritualism), socialist parties, third world nationalism, feminism   (suffragettes), quantum physics, nuclear technologies... and a few other   things which, within a century, were to change our world. Not a small, uneventful   seed-point! The action lay not in major events, but in rooms and workshops   where major innovations were gaining ground. "

*Trivia: "According to the   Pythagorean/NeoPlatonic Greeks and Egyptians, with each Cycle culmination   and for a hundred years on either side of it, it was prophesied that an influx   of special souls would be incarnating - variously called savants, masters,   teachers, messiahs, avatars, and bodhisattvas by different traditions - whose   chosen work was to raise overall planetary consciousness. Right on schedule,   the 20th century, which marks the beginning of a new Phoenix Cycle [1,900-2,100],   has already seen the advent of numerous great minds and spirits. As we approach   the peak year of 2,000 in the present cycle, many more are prophesied to   arrive." [Link: 1 ]
1891 - Founded / Radha Soami Satsang Beas -   1891:
   Radha Soami Satsang Beas (RSSB) was founded   by Baba Jaimal Singh Ji Maharaj in 1891 at a site called Dera Baba Jaimal   Singh on the West bank of the River Beas in the Punjab of Northern India.   [1] Jaimal Singh was one of six people who over a period of about nine years   came to be regarded as spiritual successors of Shiv Dayal Singh, the first   Satguru of “Radhasoami Faith,” often referred to as Sant Mat, a   movement of Surat Shabd Yoga, which includes esoteric teaching about the   Shabd. A chart of this RSSB lineage and the five other successor lineages   helps show the connections among many of the Sant Mat guru lines and branches.   [2] The RSSB lineage of spiritual leaders with the dates of their births,   deaths, and tenures is as follows:
Baba Jaimal Singh (1839 – 1903): 1891 – 1903
Baba Sawan Singh (1858 – 1948): 1903 – 1948
Sardar Bahadur Jagat Singh (1884 – 1951): 1948 – 1951
Maharaj Ji Charan Singh (1902 – 1990): 1951 – 1990
Baba Gurinder Singh (1954 – ): 1990 – Present
Adherents worldwide number in the neighborhood of 2,000,000   people.

France had already been investing money in the   industrialization of Russia, and that was a beginning. On July 24, 1891,   a squadron of French ships visited St. Petersburg, just three weeks after   William II of Germany visited London. The French, however, managed things   better. They made a big parade of Franco-Russian friendship, and Alexander   III of Russia, that apostle of reaction, actually listened to a French band   play the 'Marseillaise,' the hymn of revolution."

1891 - Egypt Exploration Fund - "Since   we are primarily concerned with ancient history at this stage, let us consider   the Memorandum and Articles of Association of the Egypt Exploration   Fund, first established in Britain in 1891 to expedite archaeological digs   in Egypt. In this document it is expressly stated that the Fund's objective   is to facilitate surveys and excavations 'for the purpose of elucidating   or illustrating the Bible narrative'. In other words, if something is found   which supports, or can be said to support, the Old or New Testaments then   we, the public, will be informed. Anything which does not support the scriptures   will be designated 'myth'. When unearthed fossils began to overturn the six-day   creation story in Victorian times, the zoologist Philip Gosse actually went   so far as to say that God had purposely inserted fossils into the rocks to   test and try the Christian faith!"

He flew his first glider   in 1891, and gliding became a daredevil sport in the 1890s, as ballooning   had been in the 1790s. This continued even though Lilienthal himself died   after a glider crash in 1896." [Isaac Asimov, Asimov's Chronology Of The   World, p. 443]

1892
1892 - Panama Canal Lottery Scandal /   France - "Corruption, which is endemic in all societies, errupted   explosively in connection with the projected building of a Panama Canal.   This was to be under the leadership of Ferdinand de Lesseps, who had successfully   built the Suez Canal. De Lesseps was the president of the Panama Company,   and what the company needed was capital. They set up a stock lottery that   raised 1.5 billion francs from those who bought chances and were rewarded   with stock that they expected would make them rich, rich, rich. It was the   Mississippi Bubble of nearly two centuries earlier and it ended precisely   the same way. The money raised by the lottery was frittered away by mismanagement   and through being misappropriated by scoundrels. In the end, the whole thing   collapsed, and the money invested disappeared. By 1892, the continuing uproar   over this had forced the government to take legal action against any crimes   that might have been committed, and it quickly became apparent that the Panama   Company had bribed legislators liberally to allow the lottery to take place   and to look the other way as it was mishandled. It was made all the worse   because it became apparent that the government had done its best to coverup   and whitewash the corruption. Some of the principal money-handlers were Jewish   bankers, which helped exacerbate French anti-Semitism." [Isaac Asimov, Asimov's Chronology Of The World,   pp. 445-446]

1893 - Political Disposition / Austria-Hungary - "Austria's long-time Prime Minister, Eduard von Taffe (1883-1895), had   granted concessions to the Czechs and Poles and brought some of them into   the government. This was enough to satisfy those Czechs and Poles who were   land owners and conservatives, and kept things going. It aroused the furious   opposition of the German nationalists, however, for they wanted no concessions.   It was also insufficient to satisfy the more nationalist Czechs and Poles,   who clamored for more reform. Taafe offered universal male suffrage on October   10, 1893, but the Germans were horrified at giving non-Germans an equal vote,   and the minorities scorned the offer as insufficient. When the bill was rejected   all around, Taafe resigned on October 19, 1893. He was succeeded by Kasimir   Felix, Count Badeni (1846-1909), who was of Polish origin.

Leadbeater transmitted his clairvoyant findings   to Scott-Elliot, who undertook scholarly research to back them up. Despite   Leadbeater's contributions, Scott-Elliot was listed as the sole author of   the resulting book The Story of Atlantis, which was published with   a preface by Alfred Percy Sinnett.[2] [NP] In 1899 he was awarded the T.   Subba Row Medal for his contributions to 'esoteric science and philosophy'.   In 1904 he added detail on Lemuria in The Lost Lemuria, attempting   to use contemporary scientific evidence to back up Leadbeater's claims.   [....]"

1894 - Birth / Kirpal Singh - February 6th,   1894:
Sant Kirpal Singh (6 February 1894–21 August   1974) was a Guru who was born in Sayyad Kasran, a part of the Punjab which   now belongs to Pakistan.
He taught the unity of all religions and the birthright   of man to attain self-knowledge and God-knowledge. Under the guidance of   his Surat Shabd Yoga or Sant Mat guru, Baba Sawan Singh, of Radha Soami Satsang   Beas, (see also "A brief life-sketch of Hazur Baba Sawan Singh Ji" [1] and   "How I met my Master" [2]) he says he experienced what is described in the   scriptures about God. According to his disciples, he dedicated his whole   life to the ideal of unity: the brotherhood of man under the fatherhood of   God.
[....]
Sant Kirpal Singh's legacy may lie chiefly in the   wealth of books he wrote during his lifetime; the Master made all of these   works available without copyright, saying "the gifts of God, like sunlight,   are all free."

The stars are interconnected to each   other, exchanging particles and gases constantly, all flowing down the magnetic   field lines or arteries of the galactic body. Scientists now feel it’s   very likely the galaxy's coiled field lines diverge into intergalactic space   where they may ultimately be connected to other galaxies. Are these tendrils   of energy the nervous system of the galaxy, relaying information from star   to star, galaxy to galaxy, on and on? One can only wonder." - Denise St. Denis [Based on:   http://www.souledout.org/cosmology/cossynthreflects/sirius.html] - [T.D.   - 12/28/07]

1894 - Initiation / Sawan Singh - October 15th,   1894:
[....] After several conferences with Baba Ji [Baba   Jaimal Singh] I was thoroughly convinced and received Initiation [into the   secrets of surat shabd yoga] from him on the 15th day of October, 1894.
The turning point in Sawan Singh's life came when he   met his spiritual guru, Baba Jaimal Singh, and took initiation under him   in the path of surat shabd yoga (union of the soul with the divine inner   sound). Such was Sawan's readiness that in just over nine years he became   an acknowledged master within the Sant Mat and Radhasoami traditions. In   fact, except for Maharaj Charan Singh, the Satguru at Beas from 1951 to 1990,   Sawan Singh attracted the largest following of any shabd yoga master in history,   initiating more than 125,000 people into the mystic practice.

1894 - Russian Tsar Nicholas II - November 1,   1894: "Alexander III's destruction of the rebellion further angered the working   class, but his death in 1894 brought his son Nicholas II to power. The workers   were quieted, for a while. Nicholas II was much like his father but lacked   a strength of character. He believed the empire would return to the old ways   if just left alone. Because he did advocate rapid industrialization, work   days were lengthened, pay was decreased, and the workers became even more   angry. Realizing what he had done, he shortened the workday to 11.5 hours.   Still unhappy, the workers began to follow the ideas of Marx in earnest and   by 1898, most university students were following Marx."

Marconi had simply copied Tesla's   work. [....] Marconi's two-tuned circuit system was the same as that advanced   by Heinrich Hertz and was no more a viable system of radio than that advanced   by Mahlon Loomis in 1872 ... long before Hertz or Tesla."

1895 - "FitzGerald Contraction" - "The first   to attempt an explanation of the negative results of the Michelson-Morley   experiment of the previous decade was George Francis FitzGerald (1851-1910).   He pointed out, in 1895, that the results could be explained if it were assumed   that all objects in motion contracted in the direction of motion in accordance   with a certain equation relating the speed of motion to the speed of light.   The contraction would reduce the length of the object to zero at the speed   of light, so that this 'FitzGerald contraction' made it seem that motion   faster than the speed of light in a vacuum was impossible."

1896 - The Jewish State - "In 1896, a   Hungarian-born Jew, Theodor Herzl (1860-1904) wrote a pamphlet entitled: The Jewish State."
1896 - "Queen Moo and the Egyptian Sphinx" - 1896: The first recorded use of the term "Naacal" is contained in Augustus   Le Plongeon's work from 1896, "Queen Moo and the Egyptian Sphinx." From pages   xxiii - xxiv of the preface:
"Perhaps also will be felt the necessity of recovering     the libraries of the Maya sages (hidden about the beginning of the Christian     era to save them from destruction at the hands of the devastating hordes     that invaded their country in those times), and to learn from their contents     the wisdom of those ancient philosophers, of which that preserved in the     books of the Brahmins is but the reflection. That wisdom was no doubt brought     to India, and from there carried to Babylon and Egypt in very remote ages     by those Maya adepts (Naacal - "the exalted"), who, starting from the land     of their birth as missionaries of religion and civilization, went to Burmah,     where they became known as Nagas, established themselves in the Dekkan, whence     they carried their civilizing work all over the earth."
According to Augustus Le Plongeon, the Naacals were   the missionaries of Mayan religion and civilization. Le Plongeon advocated   that the original, great civilization was in Central America which contrasts   with Churchward's view.
[Based on: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Naacal]
*Trivia: "The next known published use of the   word occurred in 1926 when James Churchward used the term in his book, The   Lost Continent of Mu, Motherland of Man. [NP] According to James Churchward,   the Naacal were the people and civilization of the lost continent of Mu,   as well as the name of their language."
[Based on: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Naacal]
*Trivia: In volume 2 of "The Life and Teaching   of the Masters of the Far East," Baird T. Spalding makes this remark about   the 'Naacals':
"The teachings that Buddha received came from the     same source as did those of Osiris but in a different way. The teachings     that Buddha contacted came from the Motherland direct to Burma, brought there     by the Naacals. Osiris' teachings came direct to him, as his forefathers     lived in the Motherland and when he was a young man he had gone to the Motherland     to study."
David Bruton, Spalding's biographer revealed in "Baird   T. Spalding As I Knew Him" (IEP, 1956) that Spalding's books were a magical   autobiography and essentially fiction. Therefore the inference that the Naacals   themselves are a fiction or modern myth is strengthened.

*Trivia: "In American schoolbooks it is claimed   that it was all for the good that the Democratic candidate for president   in 1896, William Jennings Bryan, was not elected, since he was against the   gold footing and the 'sound money' of the banks (that is money that creates   debt). Bryan explained in his 'Cross of Gold' speech at the Democratic National   Convention, in Chicago on July 9, 1896: 'When we have restored the money   of the Constitution, all other necessary reforms will be possible, and that   until that is done there is no reform that can be accomplished.'
   "Bryan was not elected, and 17 years later, in 1913, Congress   passed a bill (introduced by the Masonic President Woodrow Wilson), that   purported to repeal the right of the Congress to issue currency and transferred   this right to a 'federal reserve' funding system.
   "Congressman Charles A. Lindbergh, father of the famous aviator,   had the following to say about this: 'When the president signs it, the invisible   government of the money brokers has become legalized. The worst legal crime   of the century is a fact. The day of reckoning is only a few years removed.'   " [Based on: article by Juri Lina, The Barnes Review, September/October   2004, p. 11]

Alfred Dreyfus,   a French army officer, was falsely convicted of treason and imprisoned but   was later exonerated when it was proved he was a victim of an anti-Semitic   conspiracy. American Jewry provided relief for many of the east European   Jews who suffered as a result of World War I."

1898 - Explosion / U.S.S. Maine - February 15th,   1898: "The battleship, U.S.S. Maine is blown up at Havana Cuba."
*Trivia: "On Feb. 15, 1898, the battleship Maine   blew up in Havana Bay, prompting Congress on April 25 to declare war on Spain.   Spain sued for peace on Aug. 12, thus ending the Spanish-American War after   110 days. The tax levied to pay for it lasted 108 years [until 2006!]. But   as of Aug. 1 of this year [2006], the Internal Revenue Service will stop   levying the 3 percent excise tax on long-distance telephone service imposed   in 1898 to pay for the war. Amazingly, in those days the president actually   paid for misbegotten wars in cash instead of putting them on the national   credit card. [....] As the years went by, Congress kept 'forgetting' to remove   the tax, and by last year it was raising $5.6 billion annually. The tax shows   up on your phone bill as one of the dozen or so taxes and surcharges added   to basic service. Last week, after years of being sued by businesses looking   for refunds, the IRS finally announced it would stop collecting the tax on   long-distance service. The 3 percent tax on local service will remain in   place, though some members of Congress are lobbying to remove that too. [....]"   [Based on: Opinion Page article (Finally. Forget the Maine), p.

1900 - "Quantum Theory" / Modern Physics - "Wilhelm   Wien (1864-1928) demonstrated, in 1893, that the higher the temperature of   a substance, the shorter the wavelength of the peak radiation that it produces.   Wien tried to work out an equation that would describe the manner in which   all wavelengths of radiation could be emitted by a body that would produce   them all (a 'black body'). Wien failed in this, but Max Karl Ernst Ludwig   Planck (1858-1947) succeeded in 1900, by assuming that energy could only   be given off in fixed amounts. These energy-packets were extremely tiny and   Planck called them 'quanta.' It turned out that Planck's 'quantum theory,   made it possible to look at all of physical science in a new and much-improved   way, so that everything before 1900 is called 'classical physics' and everything   afterward is 'modern physics.' Both Wein and Planck received Nobel Prizes   for their work." [Based on: Isaac Asimov, Asimov's Chronology Of The   World, p. 443]
*Trivia: "[....] Quantum theory contains within   it some apparent conceptual paradoxes that even after 80 years remain unsolved.   An electron appears to be both a wave and a particle. So does light. Moreover,   the theory gives only statistical predictions of subatomic behavior. Our   ability to do any better than that is limited by the uncertainty   principle, which tells us that we cannot measure a particle's position   and momentum at the same time. The theory yields only probabilities. A particle   - an atomic electron, say - can be anywhere until we measure it; our observation   in some sense determines its state. All of this suggests that quantum theory   does not tell the whole story. As a result, in spite of its success, there   are many experts who are convinced that quantum theory hides something essential   about nature that we need to know. [....]"

1901 - Birth / Manly P. Hall - March 18th (Pisces),   1901:
Manly Palmer Hall (March 18, 1901 - August 29, 1990)   was a prolific Canadian-born author and mystic. He is perhaps most famous   for his work The Secret Teaching of All Ages: An Encyclopedic Outline   of Masonic, Hermetic, Qabbalistic and Rosicrucian Symbolical Philosophy,   which he published at the age of twenty five; the first line of which is,   "Philosophy is the science of estimating values."
He has been widely recognized as a leading scholar   in the fields of religion, mythology, mysticism, and the occult.
Carl Jung, when writing Psychology and Alchemy,   borrowed material from Hall's private collection.
In 1934 Manly P. Hall founded the Philosophical Research   Society in Los Angeles, California, dedicating it to an idealistic approach   to the solution of human problems. The PRS claims to be non-sectarian and   entirely free from educational, political, or ecclesiastical control, the   Society's programs stress the need for the integration of philosophy, religion,   and science into one system of instruction. The PRS Library, a public facility   devoted to source materials in obscure fields, has many rare and scarce items   now impossible to obtain elsewhere.
In 1973 Mr. Hall was recognized as a 33� Mason   (the highest rank possible in the Scottish Rite), at a ceremony held at PRS   on December 8th.
In his long career, spanning more than seventy years   of dynamic public activity, Mr. Hall delivered over 7,500 lectures in the   United States and abroad, authored over 150 books and essays, and wrote countless   magazine articles.

[NP] In 1910, the Qing government sent a military expedition of its own under   Zhao Erfeng to establish direct Chinese rule and deposed the Dalai Lama in   an imperial edict, who fled to British India.

1903 - "Sawan Singh" Ministry / India - 1903?   "[....] Because of his exceptional spiritual state, Sawan Singh was appointed   by Baba Jaimal Singh to be his successor shortly before his death in 1903.   Sawan Singh carried on his master's mission with remarkable aptitude, spreading   the message of humankind's divine heritage throughout India. [NP] Sawan Singh gathered   a large following of disciples from around the world. Among his devotees   were Dr. Julian P. Johnson, Dr. Pierre Schmidt, Col. C.W. Sanders, Sant Kirpal   Singh (founder of Ruhani Satsang), Sant Darshan Singh (founder of Sawan-Kirpal   Mission), Baba Somanath, Pritam Das, and several government officials in   both the British and Indian ranks. [NP] Huzur Sawan Singh died on April 2, 1948, just days   after appointing Jagat Singh as his spiritual successor. [....]
[Based on:   http://vclass.mtsac.edu:930/phil/saint.htm]
*Trivia: "[....] It was also interesting to   see that Jaimal Singh, the founder of the Beas Radhasoami group, had also   studied with Salig Ram, as well as Shiv Dayal Singh, the founder of Radhasoami.   And Sawan Singh had contact with the Sant Sat Gurus of the Parent Faith as   well. Sawan attended the satsang of Babuji on a few occasions, and when he   did so he sat on the floor at the feet of Babuji amongst the other satsangis.   Sawan Singh was the last of the Beas gurus to have direct contact with the   Sant Sat Gurus of the Parent Faith. Is this why both Jaimal and Sawan's writings   seem so much more alive than any that followed them in the Beas teaching?   Is this why Paul [Paul Twitchell] once observed that the line of spirituality   in the Beas group stopped with Sawan Singh? [....]"

Thus, with all this money power, Schiff was able to   prevent the Czar from obtaining loans to raise armies for a defense against   the Japanese. Schiff formed called 'The Friends of Russian Freedom.' Its   purpose was to agitate for the overthrow of the Christian Czar. This group,   with the help of the Japanese, ran an anti-Czar indoctrination campaign among   the 50,000 Russian soldiers taken as POWs during the war. They returned home   ready to support the Jewish revolution." [Link: 1 ]

1905 - Physics Trivia - "In 1905, Albert Einstein   was twenty-six. He had failed to find an academic job in spite of the fact   that his early work on the physics of heat radiation alone would come to   be seen as a major contribution of science. But that was just a warm-up.   He soon zeroed in on the fundamental questions of physics: First, how could   the relativity of motion be reconciled with Maxwell's laws of electricity   and magnetism? He told us in his special theory of relativity. Should we   think of the chemical elements as Newtonion atoms? Einstein proved we must.   How can we reconcile the theories of light with the existence of atoms? Einstein   told us how, and in the process showed that light is both a wave and a particle.   All in the year 1905, in time stolen from his work as a patent examiner."   [Based on: Lee Smolin, The Trouble with Physics, p. ix (5th paragraph   - Introduction), copyright 2006]

Then, on December 30, 1906, a few days before his death, he   signed the Fundamental Law of Persia, providing the country with a constitution   modeled on the Belgian and French examples. The 33 articles of the Electoral   Law and the 51 articles of the Fundamental Law gave the country a bicameral   legislature, separation of powers, checks and balances, an executive modeled   on the French system with a monarch as head of state, and guarantees of fair   representation and political rights for the people of Persia. This development   brought Edward G. Browne, the famous chronicler of the Persian Constitutional   Revolution, to proclaim jubilantly:
   Does history afford many instances of     a nation making such conspicuous advances in public spirit and morality in     so short a period as were made by the Persians during the period under     discussion? I venture to think that parallels will not easily be found.
   "And though this early victory for   constitutionalism would have its setback in 1908-09, constitutionalism would   ultimately remain in Persia until its demise through a British engineered   coup in 1925 against the legitimate government of Persia under Soltan Ahmad   Shah." [Links: 1 ]

[Based on:   http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Halley%27s_Comet]
*Trivia: The April 1910 approach was notable   for several reasons: it was the first approach of which photographs exist,   and the comet made a relatively close approach, making it a spectacular sight.   Indeed, on May 18, the comet transited the Sun's disk, and the Earth actually   passed through its tail. At the time, the comet's tail was thought to contain   poisonous cyanogen and gas. The popular media picked up this fact and, despite   the pleas of astronomers, wove sensational tales of mass cyanide poisoning   engulfing the planet. In reality, the gas is so diffuse that the world suffered   no ill-effects from the passage through the tail. [NP] Many people who claim   to remember seeing the 1910 apparition are in fact remembering a different   comet, the Great Daylight Comet of 1910, which surpassed Halley in brilliance   and was actually visible in broad daylight for a short time about four months   before Halley made its appearance."

On the European continent, a series of   political upheavals culminated in the outbreak of World War I in 1914. [NP]   The belief, or superstition, associating Halley's comet with wars and upheavals   was fed by much that was coming to light about events that coincided with   its previous appearances. The Seminole Indians' revolt against the white   settlers of Florida in 1835, the Great Lisbon Earthquake of 1755, the outbreak   of the Thirty Years' War in 1618, the Turkish seige of Belgrade in 1456,   the outbreak of the Black Death (bubonic plague) in 1347 - all were accompanied   or preceded by the appearance of a great comet, which was finally recognized   as Halley's Comet, thus establishing its role as the messenger of God's wrath.

1911 - Birth / L. Ron Hubbard - March 13th,   1911: "Son of naval commander Harry Ross Hubbard and Ledora May Hubbard,   Lafayette Ronald Hubbard was born on March 13, 1911 in Tilden, Nebraska.   At the age of two, he and his family took up residence on a ranch outside   Kalispell, Montana, and from there moved to the state’s capital, Helena.   [....] It was also through these early years Ron first encountered another   culture, that of the Blackfoot Indians, then still living in isolated settlements   on the outskirts of Helena. His particular friend was an elderly medicine   man, who was, as he wrote, an 'outlaw and interesting, a full-fledged Blackfoot   Medicine Man... a small boy’s dream.' [NP] Establishing a unique friendship   with the normally taciturn Indian, Ron was soon initiated into the various   secrets of the tribe, their legends, customs and methods of survival in a   harsh environment. At the age of six, he became a blood brother of the Blackfeet,   an honour bestowed on few white men. [....]" [Based on:   http://lron.hubbard.org/pg002.html]

1911 - Assassination / Peter Stolypin,   Russia - "Peter Stolypin, the Prime Minister, offered vast new tracts   of land to the peasants which threatened the Communist Jews of their   base of support among poor Gentiles. Thus the Jew terrorist, Mordecai Bogrov,   assassinated Stolypin in September 1911. He shot him in the back of the head   during a gala in Kiev attended by the Czar and his Court. The Jew tailor   Yevno Azev was convicted of heading the assassination squads and executed   in 1911. He was also a founder of the Social Revolutionary Party." [Link: 1 ]
1911 - Discovered / Machu Picchu - "Hanging   from the clouds, the citadel of Machu Picchu- unknown to the Spanish conquerors   of the Incas- remained hidden from the outside world until discovered by   explorer Hiram Bingham in 1911. Here the 'Sons of the Sun,' as the Inca lords   called themselves, worshiped their host of gods, including the mighty Inti,   who personified the sun itself.  A sacred rock is called the 'hitching   post of the sun,' reflecting a tradition that worshipers once tethered the   god to it, lest they stray too far from their domain."

1911 - Particle Accelerators - "Most physicists   became convinced of the existence of atoms, during the twenty years spanning   the last decade of the nineteenth century and the first decade of the twentieth.   The first experiments that can be said to have detected atoms, which used   the first, primitive elementary particle accelerators, were not done until   just after this period, in 1911/12."

1911 - Trivia / U.S. Food & Drug Act - "In   US vs. Johnson, the Supreme Court ruled that the 1906 act did not prohibit   false therapeutic claims but prohibited only false and misleading claims   as to the identity of the drug. The Sherley Amendment, enacted to overcome   the ruling in US vs. Johnson, prohibited labeling medicines with false   therapeutic claims intended to defraud the purchaser. Inadequacies in the   Food and Drug Act of 1906 had shown up almost from the time of its passage. The Bureau of Chemistry in the Department of Agriculture, charged with   administering the law, had sought several revisions [the Sherley Amendment   and the Net Weight Act of 1913], which required a declaration of the quantity   on packaged food products."

1912
1912 - Jewish Socialist Federation - "The birth   of the Jewish Socialist Federation in 1912 must be recognized as the most   important landmark in the history of the Jewish Socialist movement in this   country [U.S.A.]. The Federation was the outgrowth of a previous organization,   the Jewish Socialist Agitation Bureau which for a period of seven years led   a precarious and inconsequential existence. The Agitation Bureau was organized   at a time when the idea of Jewish nationalism began to spread its roots in   the minds of the Jewish workmen. It is to the glory of the Jewish Socialist   Bund in Russia that the question of nationalism, which in the minds of the   Socialists of the older generation was synonymous with oppression and subjection,   was forced into the foreground. The idea became ever more popular that   nationalism and internationalism are by no means mutually exclusive terms,   and that genuine internationalism is possible only when all nations are   guaranteed full and equal rights.
   "The heroic fight of the Bund against the old Russian autocracy   caused thousands of its members and followers many of them exiles to Siberia   or under rigid surveillance by the gendarmes, to flee to this country [U.S.A.]!   But they would not resign themselves to inactivity, and as a result a net   of Bund branches was spread throughout the United States and Canada. For   a number of years these branches, whose primary object was to collect funds   for the Bund in Russia, were the most active and influential bodies in the   Jewish radical world. Their members formed the vanguard of the Workmen's   Circle (Arbeiter Ring).
   "This anomaly became particularly striking after the great influx   of political refugees which the abortive Russian revolution of 1905 had swept   to these shores.
   "Zionist-Socialism however, was enriched by an extraordinary   new force: B. Boruchev, he introduced a theory which was necessarily very   popular among the Jewish masses, who were at that time Socialistic through   and through. He contended that only through a land of their own in Zion could   the Jewish people have a proletariat, and that Zionism ought therefore to   join forces with Socialism. Zionism thus received a Marxist basis, and appealed   strongly to the masses.
   "Boruchov, with the assistance of other intellectual comrades   - a number of them students - took charge of a number of periodicals in Russian   and Yiddish, which the Russian Government suppressed one after the other.   (In Russian: 'The Jewish Workmen's Chronicle' and 'The Hammer'; In Yiddish:   'The Proletarian Idea,' the 'Forward,' and an edition of books called the   'Hammer.')" [Link: 1 ]

1912 - Volcanic Eruption / Alaska - June 12th,   1912: "[....] On June 6th, 1912 a tremendous blast sent a large cloud of   ash skyward and the eruption of the century was underway. People in Juneau,   Alaska, about 750 miles from the volcano, heard the sound of the blast – over one hour after it occurred. [NP] For the next 60 hours the eruption   sent tall dark columns of tephra and gas high into the atmosphere. By the   time the eruption ended the surrounding land was devastated and about 30   cubic kilometers of ejecta blanketed the entire region. This is more ejecta   than all of the other historic Alaska eruptions combined. It was also thirty   times more than the 1980 eruption of Mount St. Helens and three times more   than the 1991 eruption of Mount Pinatubo, the second largest in the 20th   Century.

1912 - A Textbook of Theosophy - "A Textbook   of Theosophy, by C. W. Leadbeater [1912]."
[....] We often speak of Theosophy as not in itself     a religion, but the truth which lies behind all religions alike. That is     so; yet, from another point of view, we may surely say that it is at once     a philosophy, a religion and a science. It is a philosophy, because it puts     plainly before us an explanation of the scheme of evolution of both the souls     and the bodies contained in our solar system. It is a religion in so far     as, having shown us the course of ordinary evolution, it also puts before     us and advises a method of shortening that course, so that by conscious effort     we may progress more directly towards the goal. It is a science, because     it treats both these subjects as matters not of theological belief but of     direct knowledge obtainable by study and investigation. It asserts that man     has no need to trust to blind faith, "because he has within him latent powers     which, when aroused, enable him to see and examine for himself, and it proceeds     to prove its case by showing how those powers may be awakened. It is itself     a result of the awakening of such powers by men, for the teachings which     it puts before us are founded upon direct observations made in the past,     and rendered possible only by such development.

1913 - U.S. President Woodrow Wilson - March   4th, 1913: "The 28th American President, Woodrow Wilson [Democrat], begins   his term."
*Trivia: "It was made sure that Morgan's [John   Pierpoint Morgan's] candidate, the Freemason Thomas Woodrow Wilson, was elected   president. His campaign was financed by Jacob Schiff, Bernard Baruch, Henry   Morgenthau, New York Times publisher Adolph Ochs and other powerful   Jewish financiers and Freemasons.
   "The high-ranking Freemason Edward Mandel House, by many historians   considered the 'actual' president of the United States during Wilson's   administration, proposed in his novel Philip Dru: Administrator (1912),   which was published anonymously, a transition to a progressive income tax   and a central bank. These requirements were known from the Illuminati fivepoint   program. House was in favor of forming a world government and adopting the   kind of socialism Marx dreamed of. To accomplish this he was willing to use   political fraud." [Based on: article by Juri Lina, The Barnes Review,   September/October 2004, p. 11]
*Trivia: "I [Benjamin H. Freedman] was liaison   to Henry Morgenthau, Sr., in the 1912 campaign when President Wilson was   elected, and there was talk around the office there. I was 'confidential   man' to Henry Morgenthau, Sr., who was chairman of the finance committee,   and I was liaison between him and Rollo Wells, the treasurer.
   "So I sat in these meetings with President Wilson at the head   of the table, and all the others, and I heard them drum into President Wilson's   brain the graduated income tax and what has become the Federal Reserve, and   I heard them indoctrinate him with the Zionist movement. Justice Brandeis   and President Wilson were just as close as the two fingers on this hand.   President Woodrow Wilson was just as incompetent when it came to determining   what was going on as a newborn baby." [Based on: article by Benjamin H.   Freedman]

1913 - Established / U.S. Federal Reserve System - December 22nd, 1913: "U.S. Federal Reserve System established. Instead   of a single central bank, like the First and Second Bank of the United States,   12 Federal Reserve districts are established each with its own reserve bank.   All national banks have to become members of the system and the state banks   are given conditional permission to join. Banks are also allowed to establish   branches abroad." [Link: 1 ]
*Trivia: "The Federal Reserve bill was presented   the night of December 22, 1913, when most of the members of the congressional   committee were asleep. That same day the bill hastily was pushed through   the House of Representatives and the Senate, President Wilson signed the   Federal Reserve Act and control over money supply was transferred from Congress   to private Masonic bankers. Four times earlier the American people had managed   to get rid of a central bank, but not the fifth time.
   "The Federal Reserve Act was hailed as the victory of democracy   over the money trusts, which was hardly the case. Paul Warburg immediately   began working at the Federal Reserve for a salary substantially less than   that he received as a banker. Neither the president, members of Congress   nor the secretary of treasury have any authority over the Federal Reserve.
   "The Federal Reserve System is actually a cartel of 13 large   private banks, of which the Bank of New York is the most important.
   "President Woodrow Wilson allowed the national debt to grow   from $1 billion to $455 billion. Interest became the third largest post of   the federal budget." [Based on: article by Juri Lina, The Barnes Review,   September/October 2004, p. 11]

1914 - Physics Trivia - "[....] In 1914, a Finnish   physicist named Gunnar Nordstrom found that all you had to do to unify gravity   with electromagnetism was increase the dimensions of space by one. He wrote   the equations that describe electromagnetism in a world with four dimensions   of space (and one of time), and out popped gravity. Just by the extra dimension   of space, you got a unification of gravity with electromagnetism that was   also perfectly consistent with Einstein's special theory of relativity."

1914 - Assassination / Francis Ferdinand,   Austria - June 28th, 1914: "In June   1914, a Serbian nationalist murdered Archduke Francis Ferdinand, the heir   to the Austrian throne."
1914 - Beginning / World War I - "What happened?   World War I broke out in the summer of 1914. There are few people here my   age who remember that. Now that war was waged on one side by Great Britain,   France, and Russia; and on the other side by Germany, Austria-Hungary, and   Turkey.
   "Within two years Germany had won that war: not only won it   nominally, but won it actually. The German submarines, which were a surprise   to the world, had swept all the convoys from the Atlantic Ocean. Great Britain   stood there without ammunition for her soldiers, with one week's food supply   - and after that, starvation. At that time, the French army had mutinied.   They had lost 600,000 of the flower of French youth in the defense of Verdun   on the Somme. The Russian army was defecting, they were picking up their   toys and going home, they didn't want to play war anymore, they didn't like   the Czar. And the Italian army had collapsed.
   "Not a shot had been fired on German soil. Not one enemy soldier   had crossed the border into Germany. And yet, Germany was offering England   peace terms. They offered England a negotiated peace on what the lawyers   call a status quo ante basis. That means: 'Let's call the war off,   and let everything be as it was before the war started.' England, in the   summer of 1916 was considering that - seriously. They had no choice. It was   either accepting this negotiated peace that Germany was magnanimously offering   them, or going on with the war and being totally defeated.
   "While that was going on, the Zionists in Germany, who represented   the Zionists from Eastern Europe, went to the British War Cabinet and - I   am going to be brief because it's a long story, but I have all the documents   to prove any statement that I make - they said: 'Look here. You can yet win   this war. You don't have to give up. You don't have to accept the negotiated   peace offered to you now by Germany. You can win this war if the United States   will come in as your ally.
   "The United States was not in the war at that time. We were   fresh; we were young; we were rich; we were powerful. They told England:   'We will guarantee to bring the United States into the war as your ally,   to fight with you on your side, if you will promise us Palestine after you   win the war.
   "In other words, they made this deal: 'We will get the United   States into this war as your ally. The price you must pay is Palestine after   you have won the war and defeated Germany, Austria-Hungary, and Turkey.'   " [Based on: article by Benjamin H. Freedman - See Link]

*Trivia: "[....] Last week [February 2005],   as the president's $82 billion supplemental budget for Iraq and Afghanistan   reached the House, some Republicans expressed skepticism about many of its   provisions, particularly the $658 million earmarked to build a new U.S. embassy   in Baghdad. The $82 billion would push the total cost of the war efforts   to more than $300 billion, about 80 percent of which has gone or will go   to the Iraq operation. Adjusted for inflation, that exceeds the $200 billion   cost of World War I and is approaching the $350 billion spent on the Korean   War. Between 1962 and 1975, the United States spent more than $600 billion   in today's dollars in Vietnam. We're almost halfway to that figure in just   two years in Iraq. And that understates the war's cost. The money for the   war is on top of the more than $420 billion a year already allocated for   the Defense Department. It costs $100,000 a year to feed, house, equip, train   and maintain every U.S. soldier, before he or she ever gets to Iraq. [....]   [Based on: Editorial, St. Louis Post-Dispatch, p.

1916 -  Bolsheviks / Russia - "By 1916,   the people of Russia had had enough. Nicholas was forced to abdicate his   throne in favor of his brother Mikhail. Mikhail refused and the reign of   the Czar was over. Between the years 1916 and 1919, several groups would   attempt to gain power in the Russian Empire. A group known as the Bolsheviks   would eventually come to power."

1916 - Palestine for Israel? - October, 1916:   "Now England had as much right to promise Palestine to anybody, as the United   States would have to promise Japan to Ireland for any reason whatsoever.   It's absolutely absurd that Great Britain, that never had any connection   or any interest or any right in what is known as Palestine should offer it   as coin of the realm to pay the Zionists for bringing the United States into   the war. However, they did make that promise, in October of 1916. And shortly   after that - I don't know how many here remember it - the United States,   which was almost totally pro-German, entered the war as Britain's ally.
   "I say that the United States was almost totally pro-German   because the newspapers here were controlled by Jews, the bankers were Jews,   all the media of mass communications in this country were controlled by Jews;   and they, the Jews, were pro-German. They were pro-German because many of   them had come from Germany, and also they wanted to see Germany lick the   Czar. The Jews didn't like the Czar, and they didn't want Russia to win this   war. These German-Jew bankers, like Kuhn Loeb and the other big banking firms   in the United States refused to finance France or England to the extent of   one dollar. They stood aside and they said: 'As long as France and England   are tied up with Russia, not one cent!' But they poured money into Germany,   they fought beside Germany against Russia, trying to lick the Czarist   regime.
   "Now those same Jews, when they saw the possibility of getting   Palestine, went to England and they made this deal. At that time, everything   changed, like a traffic light that changes from red to green. Where the   newspapers had been all pro-German, where they'd been telling the people   of the difficulties that Germany was having fighting Great Britain commercially   and in other respects, all of a sudden the Germans were no good. They were   villains. They were Huns. They were shooting Red Cross nurses. They were   cutting off babies' hands. They were no good. Shortly after that, Mr. Wilson   declared war on Germany."

The Russian Jews who owned Vitagraph   Movie Studies in Brooklyn gave Trotsky a job. He appeared in three films   including 'My Official Wife' starring Clara Kimball Young. Ironically, Trotsky   played the part of a Russian revolutionary. While in New York, Trotsky met   with Schiff who saw in him the perfect revolutionary. Schiff had his 'Friends   of Russian Freedom' locate 267 other Yiddish speaking Russian Jew exiles.   He arranged for President Woodrow Wilson to give them U.S. passports so they   could not be refused entry into Russia. Also, Schiff gave Trotsky $10 million   (that is in 1917 dollars, which today would be worth hundreds of millions).   Later Schiff would transfer another $15 million to Lenin." [Link: 1 ]

The Bolsheviks were able to overthrow the Provisional Government of Russia   in April, 1917 and began to win the support of the military. Lenin advocated   a country that was run by the people. He believed that the workers were oppressed   by the Czar and that it was important to the future of the people that all   monarchical power be returned to the people. This type of democracy advocated   by Lenin quickly began to disappear. Lenin simply could not win the revolution   without absolute control of the Bolsheviks. He took power for himself and eventually became the first President of the Union of Soviet Socialist Republics.   The Romanov family, which had ruled the country for 300 years from the   seventeenth century, were deposed." [Link: 1 ]

*Trivia: "The Zionists in London had sent cables   to the United States, to Justice Brandeis, saying 'Go to work on President   Wilson. We're getting from England what we want. Now you go to work on President   Wilson and get the United States into the war.' That's how the United States   got into the war. We had no more interest in it; we had no more right to   be in it than we have to be on the moon tonight instead of in this room.   There was absolutely no reason for World War I to be our war. We were railroaded   into - if I can be vulgar, we were suckered into - that war merely so that   the Zionists of the world could obtain Palestine. That is something that   the people of the United States have never been told. They never knew why   we went into World War I.
   "After we got into the war, the Zionists went to Great Britain   and they said: 'Well, we performed our part of the agreement. Let's have   something in writing that shows that you are going to keep your bargain and   give us Palestine after you win the war.' They didn't know whether the war   would last another year or another ten years. So they started to work out   a receipt. The receipt took the form of a letter, which was worded in very   cryptic language so that the world at large wouldn't know what it was all   about. And that was called the Balfour Declaration.
   "The Balfour Declaration was merely Great Britain's promise   to pay the Zionists what they had agreed upon as a consideration for getting   the United States into the war. So this great Balfour Declaration, that you   hear so much about, is just as phony as a three dollar bill. I don't think   I could make it more emphatic than that." [Benjamin H. Freedman]

It is important to note that the most violent   organization involved in the overthrow of the Czar of Russia was The Jewish   Bund, headed by Abramovitch and Lieber. The three other revolutionary parties   included the all-Jewish Mensheviks (headed by Martov and Dan), the Social   Democrats, a front for Gentiles but headed by the Jew Danishevsky and the   Bolsheviks headed by Lenin who has only recently been revealed to be of Jewish   descent. Note that the Bund sent money back to their comrades in Russia.   More important is the remark that the failed revolution of 1905 in Russia   caused 'a great influx' of Jews to immigrate to the U.S. The truth is that   over one million Marxist Jews flooded into the U.S." [Link: 1 ]

1918 - Birth / Andrija [Karel] Puharich - February   19th, 1918: "One of the savants that did the most to fill the heads of credulous   seekers with addled metascientific proselytizing was Andrija [Karel] Puharich,   the CIA mystic who discovered Uri Geller, the Cyprus-born Israeli 'psychic.'   Puharich was born in 1918. He received a medical degree from Northwestern   University in 1947. Upon graduation, Puharich developed a slavish interest   in clairvoyance and dabbled in theories for electronically enhancing and   synthesizing psychic abilities. He joined the Army and took part in certain   'parapsychology' experiments. The Washington Post reported in 1977   that Puharich also worked in the Army's Chemical and Biological Warfare Center   at Fort Detrick, Maryland, and has 'lectured the Army, Air Force and Navy   on possibilities for mind warfare. Expert in hypnotism as well as   microelectronics.'
   "Puharich took a fatal fall down a flight of stairs in January   1995. Researcher Terry Milner peeled away the cover stories and found that   the true Puharich bore little resemblance to the hallucinatory shaman touted   by his devotees." [Alex Constantine, Virtual Government, pp.   11-12]

In fact, when the Kaiser ended the   war he fled to Holland because he thought the Communists were going to take   over Germany as they did Russia and that he was going to meet the same fate   as the Czar.

Born to affluent parents on December 10, 1861,   Baburam completed his early schooling in his village of Antpur (Bengal),   came to Calcutta for higher education and joined the Metropolitan Institution.   There he had the privilege of having Sri `M' ( Mahendranath Gupta ), the   celebrated author of The Gospel of Sri Ramakrishna as his Headmaster and   Rakhal ( Swami Brahmananda) as his class-mate. It was the latter who was   instrumental in taking Baburam to Sri Ramakrishna. Sri Ramakrishna examined   Baburam's features in his own, rather queer, way and was satisfied about   his high spiritual potentialities. Increased contacts with Sri Ramakrishna   intensified Baburam's inherent spiritual thirst which had been manifesting   itself even from his childhood. After the passing away of Sri Ramakrishna,   Baburam, along with his brother-disciples like Narendranath ( Swami Vivekananda   ) and Rakhal embrace the monastic life, becoming 'Swami Premananda.' He spent   most of his life in the monasteries at Baranagore, Alambazar and Belur taking   care of worship, internal management and training of the new monastic recruits.

[....] 'The founders were extremely   nervous about presidential authority,' said law professor Geoffrey Stone   of the University of Chicago, who wrote 'Perilous Times,' a book about wartime   restrictions on civil liberty.

The law was   repealed three years later. President Harry Truman suffered a rare wartime   rebuke in 1952, when the Supreme Court blocked the plans for a federal takeover   of the steel industry in the Korean War.

1919 - Communist-Sponsored Christian Deaths - "In the Soviet Union, the communist party, run mostly for the benefit of   its Jewish founders who made up approximately 90% of the founding fathers   and administrators of the Soviet Union, hid behind their leftist doctrine   which had been designed to undermine Christianity in the name of materialism   and social science. These administrators of the Soviet Union who were detailed   in reports to the U.S. State Department from Russia in 1919 were instrumental   in instructing their cohorts to send out Jewish commissars like Kaganovitch   and Beria to kill approximately 100 million White European Christians whom   they called 'reactionary bourgeoisie' for correctness in 1920-1940. What   they meant by 'bourgeoisie' were Russia's Christians. In addition to killing   the Christian peasants under the materialist aegis of communism, the churches   and parochial schools were confiscated or burned as were their Christian   towns; the priests were either murdered or sent to prisons, and all vestiges   of Christianity were as nearly as possible expunged. Once the Christians   in an entire area were killed, the Jews brought in new non-Christians, atheists,   who were relocated there to re-establish the economic exploitation of the   emptied lands in agricultural communes similar to the kibbutzim programs   in Israel which were begun at the same time. At this point in history, the   Jews and Zionists in power declared anti-Semitism to be a capital crime,   because the Christians who were being killed by these communist Jews in Russia   had developed groups to protect themselves and were critical of the Jewish   excesses in the matter of their own genocide with whom they naturally refused   to cooperate without fighting for their very lives. The accusation of   anti-Semitism in Russia became a mandatory death sentence to any Christian   fighting against the Jewish oppression of Christianity in the Soviet Union,   especially if these Christians even identified the names of the many thousands   of Jews in control of their anti-Christian extermination policy. The Jewish-led   anti-Christian genocide in Russia was basically a totally Jewish-run and   definitely anti-Christian Affair using communism and anti-reactionary programs   as the ideological communist 'cover' for wiping out Christianity. The Jews   basically ran the Russian government and hid behind its skirts as they carried   out their murders across the Russian Continent. It was never reported in   the United States, because the media was controlled mostly by Jewish owners   who were uninterested in exposing Americans to an atrocity by Jews. Only   Henry Ford, who owned his own newspaper, got the word out, and he was severely   criticized as being anti-Semitic for his honesty in exposing this matter   of Christian genocide by the Jews. In China, more than 80 million oriental   peasants were killed by the Chinese Communist Party which learned from the   Russians how to run a revolution. Especially sought out for instant extermination   during The Big March and beyond were those peasants who were Christians,   Buddhists, or Islamics and anyone else associated with a religion or philosophy   or God concept who were non-materialistic in thought. Like Russian Liberals,   the Chinese communists did not want 'other leaders' and 'other systems' teaching   their people. Religion in China, as in Russia, was called the 'opiate of   the people' and, as in Russia, this was used to justify the mass murder of   priests, devotees, and other adherents of non-communist religions. Today   in China, Christians are still being mistreated, and many churches are inundating   the west coast of the United States with Chinese Christian refugees desperate   to escape the on-going anti-Christian purges. The great international   conspiracies of communism, socialism, liberalism, Masonry, and Zionism were   always interconnected and have created all of our world wars, cold wars,   economic depressions, and divisive genocidal conduct throughout the world,   mainly because their conspirators who have created these agencies of death   carried an anti-Christian agenda which was hidden behind the false curtain   of secular materialist intellectuality. Those believing there is no international   conspiracy going back more than one hundred years cannot explain the existence   of the State of Israel without studying the conspiracies stemming from the   Zionist World Congress in the 1800's whose final fruit is Israel itself as   well as the two world wars, communism, the secret Balfour Declaration under   which Zionists promised Britain they would bring the United States into the   First World War using their blackmail of President Wilson over his sexual   liaisons at Princeton (a la Benjamin Freedman's books), the 3-day communist   takeover in Germany in 1919 under Rosa Luxembourg whose Jewish-Communist   Conspiracy resulted in the abdication of the Kaiser who crossed into Denmark   for safety, the collapse of the German front due to Jewish-inspired leftist   armaments production strikes in Germany in the middle of the war, the later   Christian genocide of 1920-1940 by the Zionists in Russia, the Jewish-inspired   world blockade of Germany in 1933 (see Freedman), and the Jewish-Zionist   German diplomatic assassination in Poland in 1937 which triggered Krystal   Nacht and the persecution of Jews by the nearly starved Germans. Most of   the adherents had little idea they were being manipulated by persons who,   in the background, were orchestrating genocide against members of their own   societies, and that type of hidden agenda and hidden genocide is a major   point in the correct administration of worldwide conspiracies. These conspiracies   are also being carried out in America and Europe today where immigration   is supported in order to eliminate as many Christian Europeans as possible from the world stage. In reality, these outcomes were planned more than one   hundred years ago and outlined in little read but always available Jewish,   Masonic, and communist publications composed mostly by Zionist anti-Christian   conspirators bent on genocidal acts and world domination by moneyed interests."

*Trivia: "When the war ended, and the Germans   went to Paris for the Paris Peace Conference in 1919 there were 117 Jews   there, as a delegation representing the Jews, headed by Bernard Baruch. I   was there: I ought to know.
   "Now what happened? The Jews at that peace conference, when   they were cutting up Germany and parceling out Europe to all these nations   who claimed a right to a certain part of European territory, said, 'How about   Palestine for us?' And they produced, for the first time to the knowledge   of the Germans, this Balfour Declaration. So the Germans, for the first time   realized, 'Oh, so that was the game! That's why the United States came into   the war.' The Germans for the first time realized that they were defeated,   they suffered the terrific reparations that were slapped onto them, because   the Zionists wanted Palestine and were determined to get it at any cost."

The ideology of American foundations was created by   the Tavistock Institute of Human Relations in London. In 1921, the Duke of   Bedford, Marquess of Tavistock, the 11th Duke, gave a building to the Institute   to study the effect of shellshock on British soldiers who survived World   War I. Its purpose was to establish the "breaking point" of men under stress,   under the direction of the British Army Bureau of Psychological Warfare,   commanded by Sir John Rawlings-Reese.
Tavistock Institute is headquartered in London. Its   prophet, Sigmond Freud, settled in Maresfield Gardens when he moved to England.   He was given a mansion by Princess Bonaparte. Tavistock's pioneer work in   behavioral science along Freudian lines of "controlling" humans established   it as the world center of foundation ideology. Its network now extends from   the University of Sussex to the U.S. through the Stanford Research Institute,   Esalen, MIT, Hudson Institute, Heritage Foundation, Center of Strategic and   International Studies at Georgetown, where State Dept. personal are trained,   US Air Force Intelligence, and the Rand and Mitre corporations. The personnel   of the corporations are required to undergo indoctrination at one or more   of these Tavistock controlled institutions. A network of secret groups, the   Mont Pelerin Society, Trilateral Commission, Ditchley Foundation, and the   Club of Rome is conduit for instructions to the Tavistock network.   [....]

1922 - Jewish Communist Party Members - "Draper   writes that the first daily newspaper of the Communist Party was the Yiddish   'Freiheit' launched on April 22, 1922. It would be two more years before   they would start a paper for Gentiles. The famous ex-Communist Whittaker   Chambers, (who exposed Alger Hiss as a Soviet spy), was an early editor of   The Daily Worker. He wrote that the party held separate meetings for 'English   speakers' and for Yiddish speakers (Jews). Chambers said that the Yiddish   meetings were always the largest ! They were called 'foreign language   groups.'
   "Whitaker Chambers former editor of 'The Daily Worker' said   that two Jewish college professors recruited him into the Communist Party.   Chambers also said that Jews made up the largest bloc in the party.
   "Draper writes that fewer than 25% of the members were born   in the U.S. and only about 10% spoke English only. This proves that its foreign   makeup had to be mainly Jewish. One reason being that all Gentile East European   immigrants were strongly anti-Communists.
   "The Communist Party membership built up to over 100,000 by   1939 and from 50% to 75% were Jews. Also, 25,000 members lived in New York   City and this group was almost entirely Jewish. (Hundreds of thousands of   other Marxist Jews supported the party and were known as 'Fellow Travelers.'   The party controlled several labor unions including the 'Ladies Garment Workers   Union' which was made up of some 6,000 Jewish women. They were all Communist   Party supporters.
   "The power of the Communist Party was demonstrated at the Sept.   1921 convention of the Socialist Party. Draper writes: 'The final blow to   the Socialist Party was the defection of the Jewish federation at a convention   in Sept. 1921. The entire group defected to the Communist Party.

These old leaders   were much more willing to keep control for themselves than allow Lenin to   command. Lenin ordered Trotsky, who had become the leader of the military,   now called the Red Army, to send in troops to these areas as a show of strength.   Eventually, all former empire lands were returned to Lenin, with the notable   exception of the Baltic States. From 1921 to 1924, the   economy of the Soviet Union was in shambles. The mismanagement of the Czars   and the civil war left the ruble, the USSR's main currency, practically   valueless. Lenin was unable really to do anything about this and most of   the country headed for famine. When Lenin died in 1924, many believed that   the USSR was doomed to die with him."

1923 - Discovery / Temple of Ur - "In the early   1900's, the builders of the Baghdad railway placed a station about 120 miles   north of Basra because the landmarked site was a recognized travellers' rest.   Here, an enormous solitary hill rose above the desert - a hill known to the   Bedouins as Tell al Muqayyar [Mound of Pitch]. But some thousands of years   ago this desert waste was a lush, fertile valley with cornfields and date   groves. As was soon to be discovered, within this great mound was the towering   multi-levelled Temple of Ur, along with the rest of the ancient city.
  "In 1923 , the archaeologist Sir Charles Leonard Wooley, with a joint   team from the British Museum and the University of pennsylvania, set out   to excavate the mound because some years earlier a collection of very old   texts, engraved on stone cylinders, had been unearthed near the summit. One   of these cylinder-seals [as they became known] had revealed the name of Ur-nammu,   King of Ur in about 2,010 BC, and so it was determined that this was probably   the location of Abraham's home."

]
The Supreme Being has been called by various names     in different languages, but the mystics have known him as HU. . . the only     name of the Nameless. . . The word Hu is the spirit of all sounds and of     all words, and is hidden within them all, as the spirit in the body. It does     not belong to any language, but no language can help belonging to it. This     alone is the true name of God, a name that no people and no religion can     claim as their own.

Stalin,   being the more vicious of the three immediately began to form alliances with   people throughout the new Cominterm, a new Congress to replace the Duma   [eventually it would be called the Politburo]. Kerensky was taken care of   because of his own erratic behavior in the military. Trotsky however, had   his own political aspirations and had followers of his own. Trotsky began   to organize the people to his cause to keep the USSR from Stalin. Stalin   was able to have him exiled from the country. Trotsky moved to Mexico where   Stalin had him killed in 1940. Stalin became the outright dictator of the   Soviet Union. He moved away from Lenin's policies and began to institute   his own. Lenin believed in more democracy and less government. Stalin believed   in death for all who opposed him."

In the event, the very fact that this   work came out of America, and not out of Britain or Continental Europe, made   it easy enough to contain - as a result of which very little, outside the   occasional encyclopaedic reference, has been written concerning the Donation during the past century. But the fact remains that it still   exists as the very document which has enabled the Church to maintain control   of monarchical, political, military and educational affairs for well over   1200 years."

1925 - Modern Quantum Mechanics / Quantum   Physics -
[....] The term quantum   (Latin, "how much") refers to discrete units that the theory assigns   to certain physical quantities, such as the energy of an atom at rest ....   The discovery that waves could be measured in particle-like small packets   of energy called quanta led to the branch of physics that deals with atomic   and subatomic systems which we today call Quantum Mechanics. The foundations   of quantum mechanics were established during the first half of the 20th century   by Werner Heisenberg, Max Planck, Louis de Broglie, Niels Bohr, Erwin   Schr�dinger, Max Born, John von Neumann, Paul Dirac, Albert Einstein,   Wolfgang Pauli and others. Some fundamental aspects of the theory are still   actively studied. [....] Modern quantum mechanics was born in 1925, when the   German physicist Heisenberg developed matrix mechanics and the Austrian physicist   Schr�dinger invented wave mechanics and the non-relativistic   Schr�dinger equation. Schr�dinger subsequently showed that the   two approaches were equivalent. [....]

1925 - "Regime Change" / Iran - " 'Regime change',   the Bush administration's stated goal for Iraq, is a ritual that both Washington   and London practiced vigorously in the Middle East over the last century.   Regime change usually meant the insertion of a proxy or a puppet regime in   order to maintain influence over a state and its resources. It was about   security, too. The United States and Great Britain shared a common desire   to control Soviet expansion in the Middle East by removing leaders that were   suspected of being friendly with Moscow. As theaters for the power struggle   between the Soviets and the Anglo-Americans, both Iran and Iraq produced   a string of notorious regime changes. A British-led 'regime change' - a coup-   in 1925 Iran replaced the Qajar dynasty with Reza Khan, a nationalist Iranian   Cossack military officer, who was crowned 'Shah' [king of kings], with the   title Reza Shah Pahlavi. The British occupied Iran after WW II to prevent   Iran, more specifically Iranian oil, from falling into the hands of Nazi   Germany and to protect an oil supply route to the Soviet Union, a British   ally during the war."

1926 - The National Broadcasting Company (NBC) - November 15th, 1926: "The National Broadcasting Company (NBC) is an American   commercial broadcasting television network and former radio network headquartered   in the GE Building in New York City's Rockefeller Center with additional   major offices near Los Angeles and in Chicago. NBC is sometimes referred   to as the "Peacock Network", due to its stylized peacock logo, created originally   for its color broadcasts.
Formed in 1926 by the Radio Corporation of America   (RCA), NBC is the oldest major broadcast network in the United States. In   1986, control of NBC passed to General Electric (GE), with GE's $6.4 billion   purchase of RCA. GE had previously owned RCA and NBC until 1930, when it   had been forced to sell the company as a result of antitrust charges.
After the 1986 acquisition, the chief executive of   NBC was Bob Wright, until he retired, giving his job to Jeff Zucker. The   network is currently part of the media company NBCUniversal, which is a joint   venture of Comcast and General Electric since 2011 (and before that, jointly   owned by GE and current Universal Music Group parent Vivendi). As a result   of the merger, Zucker left NBC and was replaced by Comcast executive Steve   Burke.
NBC has 10 owned-and-operated stations and nearly 200   affiliates in the United States and its territories.[1][2] Archival footage   from a majority of the NBC owned-and-operated stations is available for perusal   and purchase through the NBCUniversal Archives. NBC broadcast the film industries   second most important award ceremony, The Golden Globes Awards. [....]"

1928 - Russian Industrialization - "In 1928,   Stalin completely changed the course of the Soviet Union that Lenin had set.   He forced 'collectivation' on the farmers and peasants. A collective farm   is an incredibly large farm owned by the government that the peasants were   'allowed' to live on and work. Those who refused were killed. The farmers   very quickly realized that to oppose Stalin in any way meant exile or death.   Stalin also began a massive industrialization campaign. Industry was given   a quota system. They were required to reach production targets of military   and popular good regardless of the cost. Many people worked 12-15 hour days   to keep up with these quotas. Finally, convinced that the factory owners   were too concerned about themselves to manage effectively; he ordered his   own people to take over. By 1933, all industry was being run by the state.   The people were mistreated and overworked for little reward. Of course, they   could have stopped working and be murdered by the officials of a newly formed   organization, the KGB. The KGB became the eyes, ears, and enforcer of all   of Stalin's policies."

*Trivia: "It was not until the 1850's that   documentary evidence of pre-biblical history first came to light, and this   was followd twenty years later by some published texts. Not until the late   1920s were the first in-depth translations released into the public domain   - translations of scribal record considerably older than the original Old   Testament. As the archaeologists progressed their excavations, these ancient   clay tablets and engraved cylinders emerged in their tens of thousands from   the very Bible lands of Adam, Noah, and Abraham, and they were in large measure   contemporary with the Old Testament's patriarchal and dynastic eras. More   importantly, and perhaps surprisingly to some, many of their accounts were   immediately familar, and it soon became obvious that these were the models   for stories written down in retrospect by the Israelite compilers of Genesis."

1929 -   Crash / U.S. Stock   Market - October 24th, 1929: "The economic   Boom, which had followed the period of reconstruction after the First World   War, and the defeats inflicted on the workers movement across the world in   the mid-1920s, came to an abrupt end with the Wall Street Crash of 24 October   1929, which triggered off the Great Depression. Bankruptcies and skyrocketing   unemployment spread from the US to every country in the world, except the   USSR, where production continued to expand after the devastation of the Wars   of Intervention [1918-1922]. The Depression lasted into the late 1930s with   14 million unemployed in the US alone, most with little means of support.   The suffering and senseless wastage of human life - dumping of food in the   sea, closure of factories as well as millions left to rot in idleness - had   turned large numbers of workers to communism; in Europe huge street battles   were being fought between million-strong fascist and communist parties. In   vain efforts to insulate their own economies from the worldwide economic   drought, almost all countries in the world erected trade barriers making   export goods to other countries just as impossible as producing for non-existent   domestic markets. Even in the U.S., Roosevelt had been elected with widespread   popular support for the New Deal — to introduce universal welfare, protect   workers' right, the government to take a leading role in the economy and   clamp down on business.
   "To millions of workers queuing at soup kitchens in the West   and of labouring for near-starvation wages, the USSR was looking very much   like a workers' paradise. As the job market began to pick up with the beginning   of recovery in the U.S. and escalating war-spending in Europe, the organised   workers' movement began to show real signs of readiness to challenge the   institutions which had overseen all this misery. Only the beginning of World   War Two and the urgent need to crush Fascism in Germany and Japan postponed   a worldwide revolutionary upsurge." [Links: 1 ,  2 ]
1929 - The Great Depression - "Widespread   bank failures and the surviving banks' curbs on lending cause businesses   of all kinds to go bankrupt [1929-1930]. The U.S. net national product falls   by over half." [Link: 1 ]

  "Not even the Macmillan Committee, which was appointed in 1929, managed   to find out who governed the Bank of England. Only one name has leaked   out—that of Rothschild. All great wars have been started and financed   by the economic conglomerate emanating from one single banking family—the   Rothschilds.
   "In the Netherlands, secret societies had been able to found   a central bank as early as 1609. About 40 of the world's most important central   banks were established in a similar way as that of the Bank of England. In   that way the Masonic bankers ruled the long-term development in the world   with loan interest as a method, the central banks as middlemen, the politicians   as dummies and the people as ignorant wage slaves. The Freemason-controlled   banks thus can govern political life by acting without being seen. The English   people strengthened the power of these invisible Freemasons through paying   taxes during three centuries. Central banks were supposed to keep the economy   stable."

1930 - Physics Trivia - "The working out of   Einstein's insights [1905] took the next quarter century. By 1930, we had   his general theory of relativity, which makes the revolutionary claim that   the geometry of space is not fixed but evolves in time. The wave-particle   duality uncovered by Einstein in 1905 had become a fully realized quantum   theory, which gave us a detailed understanding of atoms, chemistry, matter,   and radiation. By 1930, we also knew that the universe contained huge numbers   of galaxies like our own, and we knew they were moving away from one another.   The implications were not yet clear, but we knew we lived in an expanding   universe." [Based on: Lee Smolin, The Trouble with Physics, p. ix   (6th paragraph - Introduction) - x, copyright 2006]
*Trivia: "[....] The early attempts at   unified-field theories took place before quantum mechanics was completely   formulated, in 1926. Indeed, a few of the quantum theory's proponents had   interesting speculations about the relationship between the extra dimensions   and quantum theory. But after 1930 or so, there was a split. Most physicists   ignored the problem of unification and concentrated instead on applying quantum   theory to a vast array of phenomena, from the properties of materials to   the processes by which stars produce energy. At the same time, those few   who persisted in working on the unified theories increasingly ignored quantum   theory. These people (Einstein included) worked as if Plank, Bohr, Heisenberg,   and Schrodinger had never existed. They were living after the quantum-mechanical   revolution but pretending to work in an intellectual universe in which that   revolution had never occured.

1930s - "Rastafari Movement" - 1930s: "The Rastafari   movement is a monotheistic, Abrahamic, new religious movement that arose   in a Christian culture in Jamaica in the 1930s.[1][2] [....] There are three   main sects or orders of Rastafari today: the Nyahbinghi Order, Bobo Ashanti   and the Twelve Tribes of Israel. All agree on the basic principles of the   divine status of Haile Selassie and the importance of black images of divinity.   Many Rastafari do not belong to any sect and the movement as a whole is loosely   defined and organized. [....] Emperor Haile Selassie I, whom some of the   Rastafarians call Jah, was crowned "King of Kings, Elect of God, and Conquering   Lion of the Tribe of Judah" in Addis Ababa on November 2, 1930. The event   created great publicity throughout the world, including in Jamaica, and   particularly through two consecutive Time magazine articles about the coronation   (he was later named Time's Person of the Year for 1935, the first Black person   to appear on the cover), as well as two consecutive National Geographic issues   around the same time. Haile Selassie almost immediately gained a following   as both God and King amongst poor Jamaicans, who came to be known as   Rastafarians, and who looked to their Bibles, and saw what they believed   to be the fulfilling of many prophecies from the book of Revelation. As Ethiopia   was the only African country to be free from colonialism, and Haile Selassie   was the only black leader accepted among the kings and queens of Europe,   the early Rastas viewed him with great reverence.

1930 - Brotherhood of the White Temple - Maurice   Doreal was the name adopted by Claude Doggins as head of the Brotherhood   of the White Temple, an occult fraternity headquartered in Sedalia, Colorado.   Doreal was born in Sulfur Springs, Oklahoma. As a youth he became interested   in Tarzan, which quickly broadened into a general interest in fantasy and   science fiction literature, and by 1950 his library included some 5,000 titles.   His interests also expanded to the occult. He served in World War I, after   which, he claimed, he spent eight years in Tibet. He also claimed to have   visited the occult center in the middle of Mt. Shasta in northern California.   [NP] Doreal founded the Brotherhood of the White Temple in 1930, and spent   much of his life writing the brotherhood lessons and a series of pamphlets,   called the Little Temple Library, on a wide variety of occult-related topics   from Atlantis to UFOs. He claimed to have gained his knowledge from his contact   with the Great White Lodge of Masters, those who have passed beyond their   earthly experience and now seek to guide humanity in its evolution. [NP]   Doreal began work on new headquarters for the brotherhood in Sedalia in 1946,   during the height of anxieties over possible atomic war. The location, a   valley enclosed by 1,500-foot mountain walls, was believed to be a protected   site. Headquarters moved in 1951. Two years later Doreal predicted that the   biblical Battle of Armageddon would begin very soon, and residents stored   foods against the coming hard times. [NP] Doreal died in 1963, and the   brotherhood has continued to the present using his many writings as their   authoritative literature. Sources:

FROM SHASTA TO TIBET
...   Maurice Doreal was born Claude Doggins of Sulfer Springs, Oklahoma in 1898   (or so I have heard). He looked more like a feed-store owner or small-town   banker than the guru he became to his thousand or so followers. He founded   his 'Brotherhood of the White Temple' in 1929, naming it after a group of   'Masters' of the same name often invoked by Helena P. Blavatsky's successor   Annie Besant (the 'New Age' Theosophical leader - Branton). He claimed that   after serving in the First World War, he traveled to Tibet and spent eight   years studying there with the Dalai Lama. Doreal amassed one of the world's   largest and finest occult and science-fiction libraries - over thirty thousand   volumes - but all he seemed to distill out of his studies was a long series   of repetitive and poorly-written, but highly imaginative, booklets on occult   subjects, written between about 1940 and his death in 1963. It is still possible   at this writing, though, to send away for 'Mysteries of Mt. Shasta,' 'Mysteries   of the Gobi,' 'Polar Paradise,' and similar booklets for a few dollars each   from the Brotherhood of the White Temple Inc. in Sedalia, Colorado.

1932 - "Council of Nine?" - "We were amazed   to discover that links between the modern phenomenon of the Council of Nine   and various occult organizations and esotericists such as Synarchy, Aleister   Crowley and Alice Bailey had already been brought together with a 'Council   of Nine' as far back as the 1930s. Under the bizarre pseudonym of 'inquire   within'', research by Christina Stoddard, former head of a schismatic Golden   Dawn order called the Stella Matutina, appeared in two books, Light-Bearers   of Darkness (1935) and The Trail of the Serpent (1936). They sounded   a warning about the creation of new religious belief systems by apparently   independent - but in fact connected - groups. Stoddard herself, like Schwaller   de Lubicz and Alice Bailey, held extreme right-wing views, but even she was   disturbed by what she saw as the increasing iron grip of Synarchy on the   esoteric world.
   "Stoddard discussed Saint-Yves's Synarchist objectives, specifically   the control of the three pillars of society, political, religious and economic   institutions. She pointed out that this seemed to be happening in the religious   sphere. Unlike the days when Christianity was the only sanctioned religion   in the West, there were many different belief systems, making this area harder   to control. To reverse this trend, the religions must first be unified, not   by trying to supplant them, but by absorbing their main elements and effectively   creating a new global religion. The best way of achieving this goal would   be for some authoratative and charismatic leader to take control by explaining   that God or the gods have, over the course of history, revealed certain truths   to different people, which manifested as apparently disparate religions.   But they all emanated from the same God. All that was needed was an understanding   of the fundamental principles and the higher levels of spirituality to which   mankind may now aspire. Tellingly, Stoddard gave as the prime example of   this Synarchist synthesis the doctrines of Alice A. Bailey.
   "The Trail of the Serpent describes a secret rivalry   between Reuben Swinburne Clymer and H. Spencer Lewis, who both claimed to   be the legitimate head of American Rosicrucianism. Clymer (a 32nd degree   mason), claimed that he had been given his authority by no less a person   than the social reformer Paschal Beverly Randolph (1825-75) - a friend of   Abraham Lincoln - whom the European Rosicrucians had authorised to take the   Order to America in 1852, many years before H. Spencer Lewis founded AMORC.   The resulting dispute led to Clymer taking the matter to court, which found   in his favor and accepted his registration of the title 'Rosicrucian' in   1935.
   "Clymer claimed that the doctrines of his society, the Fraternitas   Rosae Crucis, were endorsed by a secret order that directed it from France   - called the Council of Nine. He published a letter from them in 1932, which   proclaimed:
   This is the new Dispensation, and the     work of the Spiritual and Mystical Fraternities must be re-established throughout     the world, so that all peoples may be taught the Law and thereby enabled     to apply it towards universal improvement as the only means of saving mankind...

They were in excellent shape,   with everybody treated well. And they were filled with Communists. Well,   a lot of them were Jews, because the Jews happened to comprise about 98 per   cent of the Communists in Europe at that time. And there were some priests   there, and ministers, and labor leaders, and Masons, and others who had   international affiliations." [Benjamin H. Freedman]

1933 - Holy War Against Germany? - July, 1933:   "After a while, the Jews of the world called a meeting in Amsterdam. Jews   from every country in the world attended this meeting in July 1933. And they   said to Germany: 'You fire Hitler, and you put every Jew back into his former   position, whether he was a Communist or no matter what he was. You can't   treat us that way. And we, the Jews of the world, are serving an ultimatum   upon you.' You can imagine what the Germans told them. So what did the Jews   do?
   "In 1933, when Germany refused to surrender to the world conference   of Jews in Amsterdam, the conference broke up, and Mr. Samuel Untermyer,   who was the head of the American delegation and the president of the whole   conference, came to the United States and went from the steamer to the studios   of the Columbia Broadcasting System and made a radio broadcast throughout   the United States in which he in effect said, 'The Jews of the world now   declare a Holy War against Germany. We are now engaged in a sacred conflict   against the Germans. And we are going to starve them into surrender. We are   going to use a world-wide boycott against them. That will destroy them because   they are dependent upon their export business.
   "And it is a fact that two thirds of Germany's food supply had   to be imported, and it could only be imported with the proceeds of what they   exported. So if Germany could not export, two thirds of Germany's population   would have to starve. There was just not enough food for more than one third   of the population." [Benjamin H. Freedman]

1933 - Boycott Status / Germany -   August 1933: "Now in this declaration, which I have here, and which was printed   in the New York Times on August 7, 1933, Mr. Samuel Untermyer boldly   stated that 'this economic boycott is our means of self-defense. President   Roosevelt has advocated its use in the National Recovery Administration,'   which some of you may remember, where everybody was to be boycotted unless   he followed the rules laid down by the New Deal, and which was declared   unconstitutional by the Supreme Court of that time.
   "Nevertheless, the Jews of the world declared a boycott against   Germany, and it was so effective that you couldn't find one thing in any   store anywhere in the world with the words 'made in Germany' on it. In fact,   an executive of the Woolworth Company told me that they had to dump millions   of dollars worth of crockery and dishes into the river; that their stores   were boycotted if anyone came in and found a dish marked 'made in Germany,'   they were picketed with signs saying 'Hitler,' 'murderer,' and so forth,   something like these sit-ins that are taking place in the South."

[....] Take another look [D.M.   now speaking to D.L.] at that letter from the Registrar at Western Kentucky   University. It doesn't say what you think. It says that Paul listed his age   as 22 upon his 'admission' to Western State, not when Paul entered college.   Also, the Registrar includes the correction to an earlier error he had made   when he writes that Paul attended Western State from September 1933 through   January 1935, "not from September, 1932, as given in my earlier correspondence.   [NP] Why did he make that error? Was it because in fact the Sept. 1932 date   was the date of Paul's admission? Admission does take place before attending,   correct? Paul would have been 22 on Sept. 1932, if he was born Oct. 1909,   right? [NP] The 1933-35 date for Paul attending Western State does match   the Who's Who bio."

From 1933 to 1939, Johnson devoted much of   his time to writing about his master and his experiences in the Radha Soami   path." [See link:

*Trivia: "That religions often evolve out of   other past religions is a well known phenomenon: witness Christianity's emergence   from Judaism. What is not so well known, however, is how certain religions   try to genealogically dissociate themselves from their historical roots.   Eckankar is a classic case in point.
   "Founded in 1965 by Paul Twitchell, one-time disciple of Swami   Premananda, Kirpal Singh and L. Ron Hubbard, Eckankar owes much of its theology   to Radhasoami. Indeed, as Lane, Melton, and others have pointed out, most   of Paul Twitchell's writings are derived from two Radhasoami publications,   With a Great Master in India and The Path of the Masters (both authored by   Julian P. Johnson in the 1930s). Certainly, it is not surprising that religious   doctrines can at times appear to be similar, but what is surprising is when   a religion which has borrowed much of its history, doctrine, and terminology   from another tries to consciously deny its putative association.

[...] A German refugee, Kurt Lewin, became director   of Tavistock in 1932.

In 1938, Roosevelt executed a secret agreement with Churchill   which in effect ceded U.S. sovereignty to England, because it agreed to let   Special Operations Executive control U.S. policies. To implement this agreement,   Roosevelt sent General Donovan to London for indoctrination before setting   up OSS (now the CIA) under the aegis of SOE-SIS. The entire OSS program,   as well as the CIA has always worked on guidelines set up by the Tavistock   Institute. [....]

1934 - Trivia / GULAG, Russia - "By 1934   the GULAG, or Main Directorate for Corrective Labor Camps, then under the   Cheka's successor organization the NKVD, had several million inmates. Prisoners   included murderers, thieves, and other common criminals-along with political   and religious dissenters. The GULAG, whose camps were located mainly in remote   regions of Siberia and the Far North, made significant contributions to the   Soviet economy in the period of Joseph Stalin. GULAG prisoners constructed   the White Sea-Baltic Canal, the Moscow-Volga Canal, the Baikal-Amur main   railroad line, numerous hydroelectric stations, and strategic roads and   industrial enterprises in remote regions. GULAG manpower was also used for   much of the country's lumbering and for the mining of coal, copper, and gold.   Stalin constantly increased the number of projects assigned to the NKVD,   which led to an increasing reliance on its labor. The GULAG also served as   a source of workers for economic projects independent of the NKVD, which   contracted its prisoners out to various economic enterprises. Conditions   in the camps were extremely harsh. Prisoners received inadequate food rations   and insufficient clothing, which made it difficult to endure the severe weather   and the long working hours; sometimes the inmates were physically abused   by camp guards. As a result, the death rate from exhaustion and disease in   the camps was high." [Link: 1 ]

1935 - Trivia / Soviet Famine - [....]
One of the principal but little known operations of the Rockefeller Foundation   has been its techniques for controlling world agriculture. Its director,   Kenneth Wernimont, set up Rockefeller controlled agricultural programs throughout   Mexico and Latin America. The independent farmer is a great threat to the   World Order, because he produces for himself, and because his produce can   be converted into capital, which gives him independence. In Soviet Russia,   the Bolsheviks believed they had attained total control over the people;   they were dismayed to find their plans threatened by the stubborn independence   of the small farmers, the Kulaks. Stalin ordered the OGPU to seize all food   and animals of the Kulaks, and to starve them out. The Chicago American,   February 25, 1935 carried a front page headline, SIX MILLION PERISH IN SOVIET   FAMINE; Peasants' Crops Seized, They and their Animals Starve. To draw attention   from this atrocity, it was later alleged that the Germans, not the Soviets,   had killed six million people, the number taken from the Chicago American   headline by a Chicago publicist. [....]
[...] Just as in the Soviet Union, in the early 1930s, when Stalin ordered   the Kulaks to give up their small plots of land to live and work on the   collective farms, the American small farmer faces the same type of extermination,   being forced to give up his small plot of land to become a hired hand for   the big agricultural trusts. The Brookings Institution and other foundations   originated the monetary programs implemented by the Federal Reserve System   to destroy the American farmer, a replay of the Soviet tragedy in Russia,   with one proviso that the farmer will be allowed to survive if he becomes   a slave worker of the giant trusts.

Now he has appeared with the age-old teachings of ECK, which will give the   human race a spiritual boost, taking many over the crisis into the realm   of God. The way will be perfectly clear now that many can see where the path   of God is leading them." [Based on: ECKANKAR, Compiled Writings Volume   1, Paul Twitchell - Copyright 1975 by Gail T.

"The God HU was the all-ruling Divinity of Western   Celtic mythology. He represented the power and the glory of the spiritual   world." (p. 153)
"The Mysteries of HU revealed the other pole of human   life: the ascent out of the body into the 'glorified' state of expansion   of the consciousness in the spiritual world." (p. 153)
"And HU could bring music to the consciousness of waking   man and teach it to him, because he himself could hear in sleep the harmonies   of the spheres, and his passage from waking to sleeping to waking was unbroken   by any obliteration of consciousness. This was always the summit of initiation   experience." (p. 165)

1938 - Anti-Semitism / Germany - "The   boycott continued for some time, but it wasn't until 1938, when a young Jew   from Poland walked into the German embassy in Paris and shot a German official,   that the Germans really started to get rough with the Jews in Germany. And   you found them then breaking windows and having street fights and so forth.
   "Now I don't like to use the word 'anti-Semitism' because it's   meaningless, but it means something to you still, so I'll have to use it.   The only reason that there was any feeling in Germany against Jews was that   they were responsible for World War I and for this world-wide boycott. Ultimately   they were also responsible for World War II, because after this thing got   out of hand, it was absolutely necessary for the Jews and Germany to lock   horns in a war to see which one was going to survive. In the meanwhile, I   had lived in Germany, and I knew that the Germans had decided that Europe   is going to be Christian or Communist: there is no in between. And the Germans   decided they were going to keep it Christian if possible. And they started   to re-arm. In November 1933 the United States recognized the Soviet Union.   The Soviet Union was becoming very powerful, and Germany realized that 'Our   turn was going to come soon, unless we are strong.' " [Based on: Benjamin   H. Freedman] 
 
1938 - Communist Jews? / United States - "Arnold   Leese, a great British expert on the Jewish problem wrote in 1938: 'When   the Jews leave Russia Communism will collapse.' World Jewry is today relocating   in America. Thus the real threat of Communism in our country has just   begun.
   "Communism is not dead by any means and in fact is far more   of a threat today than ever before. The Communist Party USA infiltration   of the Democratic Party has been a meticulous operation. Herein lies the   present danger of a Communist takeover of America under the name of their   newest communist front which is the modern National Democratic Party." [Link: 1 ]

The Psychic Observer Corporation was founded in 1937 in Jamestown, New York,   by Ralph and Juliette Pressing. The first issue of the Psychic Observer appeared   in August 1938. In 1957 the Pressings retired and Agnes F. Reuther became   editor. Two years later Tom O'Neill acquired the periodical, then issued   as a tabloid. In 1960 he was informed by Andrija Puharich, then a young   researcher, that he had discovered several of the more prominent mediums   at Camp Chesterfield engaged in a conspiracy to conduct fake materialization   s�ances. Puharich presented the photographic proof, pictures taken   with an infrared camera. O'Neill published the pictures and announced the   findings as a dark day for Spiritualism. [NP] As a result of the expos�,   O'Neill almost went bankrupt, as advertisers loyal to the camp pulled their   support from the periodical. He relocated his publishing enterprise to North   Carolina and for a brief period published under another title. [NP] O'Neill   died in 1965 and the Psychic Observer ceased publication. In 1968 it was   purchased by Alice Tindell and moved to Washington, D.C. It was issued as   an open forum magazine, but in effect it was the periodical of the National   Spiritual Science Center, the church headed by Tindell. It was published   by the ESPress, the church's publishing concern. Henry Nagoka edited the   new publication. [NP] Chimes began in 1942 under the editorship of Bert Welch   and his wife. It was later purchased by June and Leighton Denton. Chimes,   Inc., the publishing company, also had a book distribution service and   facilitated the Dentons' healing ministry. Chimes faithfully served the American   Spiritualist community for a generation until it was discontinued as an   independent publication in 1974. [NP] Psychic Observer and Chimes was   discontinued after the July/ October 1981 issue." Copyright � 2001

Writes Twitchell,
". . . I found this to be true of Sudar Singh, the strange mystic of Allahabad,   in the summer of 1938, when I visited him with my step-sister." [Based on: In My Soul I Am Free, by Brad Steiger]
[....] According to Steiger's account (which also gives no dates), it would   be in the late 1930's, early 1940's, when Twitchell visited India. Yet, according   to Twitchell's actual birth date (1908-1912), it would have to be the late   1920's when he visited India. In both cases, however, there is no proof,   documentary or otherwise, to support Twitchell's self-claimed travels to   India. The doubtful nature of Twitchell's travels gains further support when   we learn that the first mention of his guru Sudar Singh is not until the   January 1964 issue of Orion Magazine.

1939 - The National Broadcasting Company (NBC) - April 30th, 1939: "The National Broadcasting Company (NBC) is an American   commercial broadcasting television network and former radio network headquartered   in the GE Building in New York City's Rockefeller Center with additional   major offices near Los Angeles and in Chicago. NBC is sometimes referred   to as the "Peacock Network", due to its stylized peacock logo, created originally   for its color broadcasts.
Formed in 1926 by the Radio Corporation of America   (RCA), NBC is the oldest major broadcast network in the United States. In   1986, control of NBC passed to General Electric (GE), with GE's $6.4 billion   purchase of RCA. GE had previously owned RCA and NBC until 1930, when it   had been forced to sell the company as a result of antitrust charges.
After the 1986 acquisition, the chief executive of   NBC was Bob Wright, until he retired, giving his job to Jeff Zucker. The   network is currently part of the media company NBCUniversal, which is a joint   venture of Comcast and General Electric since 2011 (and before that, jointly   owned by GE and current Universal Music Group parent Vivendi). As a result   of the merger, Zucker left NBC and was replaced by Comcast executive Steve   Burke.
NBC has 10 owned-and-operated stations and nearly 200   affiliates in the United States and its territories.[1][2] Archival footage   from a majority of the NBC owned-and-operated stations is available for perusal   and purchase through the NBCUniversal Archives. NBC broadcast the film industries   second most important award ceremony, The Golden Globes Awards. [....]"

1939 - Beginning / World War II - September   3rd, 1939: "Stalin and Hitler hated each other, but respected each others   military might. They signed a treaty called the 'Non-Agression Pact of 1939.'   This treaty stated that they would never go to war against each other and   that they would divide Poland and the Baltic States between them. In September   1939, Germany invaded Poland and while the world panicked as Britain and   France declared war on Hitler, starting World War II, Stalin very quietly   moved in and took the Baltic States and half of Poland. The world didn't   even realize what Stalin had done until months later and quickly let him   off the hook when he explained that he was only 'protecting' these people   from the Germans. He proved himself justified in June of 1941, when Hitler   broke their agreement and invaded the Soviet Union. Hitler easily crushed   the Red Army."

1930s - Mercury Poisoning / Minamata Bay, Japan - "Japan's top court ordered the government Friday [10/15/04] to pay $703,000   in damages to victims of the Minamata Bay mercury poisining. The ruling came   22 years after the case was filed over an industrial pollution disaster that   killed more than 1,700 people and caused mothers to give birth to deformed   babies.
   "The Minamata poisoning incident was Japan's worst case of   industrial pollution. Since the 1950's, hundreds of people have contracted   Minamata disease - a neurological disorder caused by mercury poisoning -   from eating tainted fish. The disease was first discovered in the 1950s and   named for Minamata Bay in southern Japan, where a company dumped tons of   mercury compounds.

1939 - The Path of the Masters - "The   Path of the Masters was first published in France in 1939; its author was   Julian P. Johnson. [....] It should be noted that Johnson never saw the book   in its final published form, as he died in 1939 shortly before it came out.   A number of rumors have cropped up concerning Julian Johnson's death, and   this may be a good place to clarify what actually happened. Apparently, Johnson   got into a fairly heated debate with a younger friend of his named Paul [not   Paul Twitchell] over health treatments. During the heat of the debate Johnson   either tripped or was pushed and hit his head on a rock. He subsequently   died from his injuries on the way to the hospital. Since there was some confusion   over what actually transpired (Was it an accidental fall on Johnson's part?   Or, was it an accidental fall caused by Paul who pushed Johnson to the ground?),   there was naturally a lot of speculation (which led to gossip) about Johnson's   death. Even today some uninformed observers claim Johnson was murdered. According   to witnesses who were in India at the time, though, Johnson's death was a   tragic accident and nothing more."  [See link:

Much maligned, but an excellent starting point bringing out many facts about   the Jewish connection to the stock markets, international banking, the   Semitic-NYC-Moscow Express, the liberalization of America, and other incendiary   historical facts which you will never see in the New York Times. When you   realize that Ford owned his own newspaper and the damage done to Zionist   conspiracies by that paper, you will understand the deep Jewish need to control   all media.

1940s - Signals Intelligence Network [SIGINT] /   U.S.A. - 1940s: "[....] There has been a Signals Intelligence network   in the U.S. since the 1940's. The NSA [National Security Agency], Ft. Meade   has in place a vast two-way wireless RNM [Remote Neural Monitoring] system   which is used to track subjects and non-invasively monitor audiovisual   information in their brain. This is all done with no physical contact with   the subject. RNM is the ultimate method of surveillance and domestic   intelligence. Speech and 3D sound, and subliminal audio can be sent to the   auditory cortex of the subject's brain (bypassing the ears) and images can   be sent into the visual cortex. RNM can alter a subject's perceptions, moods   and motor control. Speech cortex/auditory cortex link has become the ultimate   communications system for the intelligence community. RNM allows for a complete   audiovisual brain-to-computer link. [....]"

1941 - Trivia / Germany vs. USSR - "By October   of 1941, the German armies had Moscow and Leningrad [formerly St. Petersburg,   and named after Vladimir Lenin] surrounded. The Soviets were caught off guard   by the technological superiority of the Germans. Hitler, however, was a poor   history student. He failed to learn Napolean Bonaparte's lesson of over one   hundred winters before [1812-14] when he was forced to retreat to France   in the middle of the Russian winter. The German armies, outfitted in only   summer clothing, were caught in the open when winter hit and it was a simple   matter for the Soviets to cut their supply lines. Hitler lost over one million   troops and this became a major turning point in the war. With the American   entry in the war in 1941 the tide changed. Germany was in retreat on all   fronts. The USSR quickly took back all Soviet land and began to push its   way into eastern Europe. With the Americans and the British pushing the Germans   back in the West it was only a matter of time before Hitler   surrendered."

He   was faced with a terrible dilemma. If he let the people slumber in a fog   of isolationism, they might fall prey to Hitler. If he came out unequivocally   for intervention, he would be defeated' in the 1940 election. On Dec. 4,   1941 - three days before Pearl harbor - the Chicago Tribune and Washington Star-Ledger broke the story that FDR had already drafted   a plan for war with Germany, a plan that entailed a 10-million-man army invading   Germany by the middle of 1943. Democrats and Republicans alike saw this as   further proof that FDR had been lying all along. Some suggest that a U.S.-flagged   schooner was sent into Japanese waters that same day specifically to to provoke   a fight. Roosevelt got Pearl Harbor instead, which was a surprise but which   nontheless 'rescued' the president, in Hofstadter's words, from the 'dilemma'   of needing to start a war the American people opposed.

About 350 former nuclear sites nationwide are part of the compensation   program, including eight other sites in the St. Louis region. [....] Mallinckrodt   refined uranium ore for the national defense program. In April 1942, federal   officials asked Mallinckrodt to convert its chemical plant into a uranium   processing facility to help with the war effort. Three months later, the   plant produced a ton of uranium a day. By December the plant had produced   enough uranium to supply a nuclear reactor in Chicago, the first step in   the Manhattan Project to develop the atomic bomb. Over the next 12 years,   the plant processed more than 50,000 tons of uranium products. The St. Louis   plant closed after the work moved to Weldon Spring [Mo.] in 1957."

*Trivia: "When Tesla died on January   7, 1943 at the age of 86, representatives at the Office of Alien Property,   at the request of the FBI, went to the Hotel New Yorker and siezed all of   Tesla's belongings. Two truckloads of papers, furniture and artifacts were   sent under seal to the Manhattan Storage and Warehouse Company. This load   was added to the almost thirty barrels and bundels that had been in storage   since the 1930's and the entire collection was sealed under orders from the   OAP. Strange behavior, considering that Tesla was a legal American citizen." [Tim Swartz, The Lost Journals of Nikola Tesla,   p. 10]

1943 - Philadelphia Experiment - October   28th, 1943: "The Philadelphia Experiment supposedly took place at   the Philadelphia Naval Yards." [Link: 1 ]
1943 - U.S. Naval Reports: The Philadelphia   Experiment - "Allegedly, in the fall of 1943 a U.S. Navy destroyer   was made invisible and teleported from Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, to Norfolk,   Virginia, in an incident known as the Philadelphia Experiment. Records in   the Operational Archives Branch of the Naval Historical Center have been   repeatedly searched, but no documents have been located which confirm the   event, or any interest by the Navy in attempting such an achievement.
   "The ship involved in the experiment was supposedly the USS   Eldridge. Operational Archives has reviewed the deck log and war diary   from Eldridge's commissioning on 27 August 1943 at the New York Navy   Yard through December 1943. The following description of Eldridge's activities are summarized from the ship's war diary. After commissioning, Eldridge remained in New York and in the Long Island Sound until 16   September when it sailed to Bermuda. From 18 September, the ship was in the   vicinity of Bermuda undergoing training and sea trials until 15 October when Eldridge left in a convoy for New York where the convoy entered on   18 October. Eldridge remained in New York harbor until 1 November   when it was part of the escort for Convoy UGS-23 (New York Section). On 2   November the convoy entered Naval Operating Base, Norfolk. On 3 November, Eldridge and Convoy UGS-23 left for Casablanca where it arrived on   22 November. On 29 November, Eldridge left as one of escorts for Convoy   GUS-22 and arrived with the convoy on 17 December at New York harbor. Eldridge remained in New York on availability training and in Block   Island Sound until 31 December when it steamed to Norfolk with four other   ships. During this time frame, Eldridge was never in Philadelphia."   [Link: 1 ]

*Trivia: "[....] In the late 1940s, realizing   that the Phoenix Project lines of research, if properly harnessed, controlled   and developed, had astonishing and un-dreamed-of possibilities, clandestine   government agencies reopened Pandora's Box. [NP] The worst problems encountered   during the Philadelphia Experiment were the extraordinarily destructive and   bizarre effects on the human beings who were aboard the battleship used in   the experiment. The ship and crew allegedly disappeared from sight for some   time: devastating psychological damage as well as horrifying physical results   such as sailors being embedded in the metal of the ship when it did reappear   (rematerialize) were reportedly some of these effects. [NP] Janus Von Neumann,   who was the director of the Philadelphia Experiment, (staying on after Tesla   had quit in disgust over his concern about just such effects upon people)   was called upon to find out more regarding how human beings were impacted   by entering other time-space dimensions and to develop technology which could   allow people to do so without severe damage. [NP] Von Neumann, who unlike   Tesla had little use for metaphysics or parapsychology, soon found himself   unable to avoid coming to terms with both the psychic and spiritual aspects   of human beings in addition to the material or physical level. Suffice it   to say that some element of a person, often called a spirit or soul, must   remain in sync with his/her original time-space lock which begins at the   time of physical conception (incarnation) while transferring to or returning   from other dimensions, if such wide scale destructive results are to be avoided.   [NP] Von Neumann, exercising once again his prodigious mental abilities,   came up with the world's first electronic computer, which had the capability   to calculate certain time- space referencing factors with absolute precision   -- a necessity for what was to be accomplished; in addition, psychotronic   equipment was created which could receive, reconfigure and transmit radio-type   frequencies generated by thoughts from the human mind (frequencies which   do exist and can be picked up by what are commonly called 'psychics' (no,   they're not all phony); and by extension, devices which could externally   and artificially alter or 'control' people's minds.

And those deprivations are direct results   of the debt burdens many of the world's poorest nations carry, she contends.   Because of the debt payments owed to the World Bank, the International Monetary   Fund, export credit agencies, commercial banks and other lenders, the   government's don't have money left to provide adequate social services or   to invest in infrastructure and jobs. As a result, Hertz writes, people become   susceptible to extremist groups and drug dealers. [....] But terrorism is   only one part of the debt threat Hertz spells out. She also focuses on   environmental perils that are growing, including global warming. Debt-burdened   countries must use their cheapest resources, so they cut forests, drain wetlands   and burn areas for agriculture, causing pollution and other environmental   devestation."

1944 - Shah Returns to Iran - "During World   War II, Iran gained strategic importance to the allies, not only because   it was an oil-rich country, which the allies didn't want to fall under control   of Nazi Germany, but Iran had become an important corridor for the Americans   to funnel arms to the Soviet Union. During this same time period, the Iranian   people had risen in opposition against Mohammed Reza Pahlavi, the Shah of   Iran, and forced him into exile in South Africa.
   "In 1944, the exiled Shah of Iran died in South Africa. His   22-year-old son returned to Iran with the backing of the occupying allied   powers, and once again the reign of the Pahlavi regime resumed. The Shah   depended upon the support of the United States to keep him in power, and   after the war, American influence in Iran grew. American's military presence   increased as the Cold War heated up. Iran was no longer viewed as a corridor   to the Soviet Union, but as important bunker against the spread of communism.   The regime of the new Shah proved to be no less corrupt than that of his   father." [Links: 1 ]
