When Dragons Flew Over the Wild West: The Curious Case of the Dos Palms Flying Serpent of 1882!

Southern Pacific Railroad train near Dos Palms, Calif. Express attacked by flying snake, The Illustrated Police News, March 18, 1882.

Here’s a blog post summarizing the research on the Dos Palms flying serpent and the broader phenomenon of “American Dragons”:

Imagine this: It’s 1882, and you’re on a Southern Pacific train, rumbling through the California desert. Suddenly, a colossal, winged serpent—30 feet long with bat-like wings—attacks your locomotive! Passengers are screaming, revolvers are firing, and the beast is “roaring like a cow in distress.” Sounds like something out of a fantasy novel, right? Yet, this was the sensational headline from The Illustrated Police News on March 18, 1882, detailing an alleged incident near Dos Palms, California.¹

This isn’t just a wild tale; it’s a fascinating peek into the “weird news” landscape of 19th-century America, an era when “American Dragons” supposedly terrorized the Western territories.

The Dos Palms Incident: A Thrilling (and Dubious) Account

The story, purportedly relayed by the train’s engineer and fireman and “corroborated by passengers,” claimed the train clipped the serpent’s tail, enraging it. The creature then pursued the train “two miles faster than chain lightning,” thrashed it, shattered windows, and then sailed off, seemingly impervious to the passengers’ bullets.¹ The

Los Angeles Times was even cited as reporting the event, though historical archives show some discrepancies in that claim.¹ The

Times‘s concluding line, “This is vouched for by everyone who was on the train, and is given for what it is worth,” hints at the era’s blend of sensationalism and a subtle wink to the reader about the story’s incredible nature.¹

“American Dragons”: A Pattern of the Peculiar

The Dos Palms serpent was far from unique. Mark Chorvinsky, editor of Strange Magazine, coined the term “American Dragons” to describe a recurring motif of winged reptilian monsters reported across the American West in the late 19th and early 20th centuries.³ These creatures shared remarkably consistent, often biologically impossible, traits:

Flight, Aquatic, and Terrestrial Abilities: They could fly, live underwater, and walk on land.³
Bullet Immunity: Bullets “invariably ‘rang as though striking armor plate’,” having “no effect”.¹
Consistent Size: Typically 28 to 45 feet long, with the Dos Palms serpent fitting right in at 30 feet.¹
Dramatic Encounters: Often involved confrontations with trains or livestock, vouched for by “reliable witnesses”.³
Lack of Evidence: Despite claims of specimens being killed, there was “invariably lacked follow-up coverage or physical evidence”.³

Beyond Dos Palms, other notable “American Dragons” included the fearsome Lake Elizabeth Monster in California ¹, the legendary Tombstone Thunderbird of Arizona ⁴, and the “River Dragon” of Napoleon, Ohio.⁵

The Age of “Yellow Journalism” and Tall Tales

Why did such fantastical stories flourish? The late 1800s were a “perfect storm for sensational storytelling”.³ This was the heyday of “yellow journalism,” a style that prioritized “sensationalism over facts” to “boost circulation”.³ Publishers like Hearst and Pulitzer were locked in fierce competition, and outrageous stories, regardless of their factual basis, sold newspapers.³

Communication technology was limited, making “fact-checking nearly impossible”.³ Moreover, the frontier culture itself “embraced tall tales as entertainment,” with Western newspapers serving as “creative outlets for writers” who knew their readers expected that “almost anything could actually happen in this Lawless land”.³ It was an era where “even major newspapers ran stories of sea serpents, apelike wild men and haunted houses alongside more sober reporting”.¹ Hoaxes like the Great Moon Hoax of 1835 and the Great Wall of China Demolition Hoax of 1899 were widely circulated, demonstrating the public’s appetite for a blend of information and fantasy.⁷

More Than Just Monsters: Cultural Significance

These “weird news” stories were more than just entertainment. They functioned as “cultural categories and symbols,” reflecting the “anxieties, concerns, and power dynamics of the time”.⁹ Monsters represented the “unknown and uncategorizable,” much like they did on earlier maps, symbolizing the uncertainties of exploration.⁹

In the American West, these monster encounters also played a role in “the construction and consolidation of masculine identities”.⁹ Confronting these creatures in the wilderness was framed as an opportunity for “daring adventurers” to “discover, combat, and capture unknown creatures,” symbolically “claiming the unknown for ‘civilization’ and scientific categorization”.⁹ The image of passengers firing revolvers at the flying snake perfectly embodies this cultural assertion of control over the wild and inexplicable.¹

The prevalence of “weird news” also challenges the idea that the 19th century was a period of complete “disenchantment” from supernatural belief. Instead, it suggests a “continued, or at least semi-enchanted, worldview,” where a deep fascination with the preternatural persisted despite scientific advancements.⁹

Mark Chorvinsky: The Skeptical Investigator

Mark Chorvinsky, the researcher who documented “American Dragons,” approached these phenomena with “open-minded skepticism”.¹⁰ His

Strange Magazine aimed to apply the “scientific method to scientifically delinquent topics” like cryptozoology, not to convince readers to believe, but to investigate.¹⁰ He famously spent years researching the “infamous Thunderbird Photo,” ultimately concluding it “most likely does not exist,” but found value in studying why so many credible witnesses believed they had seen it.¹⁰ His work highlights the crucial distinction between studying folklore as a cultural artifact and attempting to validate it as biological fact, a common pitfall of cryptozoology.¹²

The Dos Palms flying serpent, and its “American Dragon” kin, may not have been real, but their stories offer a captivating window into a bygone era of journalism, frontier culture, and the enduring human fascination with the mysterious. They remind us that sometimes, the most incredible tales reveal the most about ourselves.

The Dos Palms Flying Serpent: A Case Study in 19th-Century American “Weird News”

Executive Summary

This report investigates the sensational 1882 “flying snake” attack on a Southern Pacific Railroad train near Dos Palms, California, as reported by The Illustrated Police News and purportedly by the Los Angeles Times. The incident is examined within the broader context of “American Dragons”—a recurring motif of winged reptilian monsters prominent in 19th and early 20th-century American folklore. The analysis reveals that the Dos Palms event, while presented as a factual account, exemplifies the pervasive “yellow journalism” of the era and the frontier culture’s embrace of tall tales, which often blurred the lines between genuine news and creative fiction. These “American Dragon” narratives, despite lacking verifiable evidence, functioned as significant cultural signifiers, reflecting societal anxieties, shaping masculine identities, and challenging the notion of a fully “disenchanted” world. The report underscores the critical work of folklorists and researchers, such as Mark Chorvinsky, in analyzing these phenomena as cultural artifacts rather than literal cryptozoological claims.

1. Introduction: The Dos Palms Flying Serpent – A Glimpse into 19th-Century “Weird News”

The headline from The Illustrated Police News on March 18, 1882, dramatically announced a “Terrible attack on Southern Pacific Railroad train near Dos Palms, Calif. Express attacked by flying snake, passengers firing at monster with revolvers”.¹ This striking declaration immediately immerses the reader in an extraordinary historical account, one that defies conventional understanding of reality. The very existence of such a headline, presented as news in a widely circulated publication, signals a fundamental divergence in journalistic standards and public expectations compared to contemporary media.

The central inquiry of this report is how such extraordinary historical accounts, which challenge modern interpretations of factual reporting, are critically interpreted. This investigation aims to frame the Dos Palms incident not merely as a historical news item, but as a complex interplay of folkloric narrative, prevalent journalistic practices, and the broader cultural environment of its time. The initial encounter with such a sensational headline prompts an immediate recognition of the distinct historical, journalistic, and cultural contexts that allowed such stories to flourish, setting the stage for a deeper exploration of their origins and significance.

2. The Dos Palms Incident: Anatomy of a Frontier Sensation

The narrative of the Dos Palms flying serpent attack unfolds with vivid detail, placing the reader on a Southern Pacific express steam locomotive as it traversed the Colorado Desert from Yuma, Arizona, to Los Angeles, having just passed the oasis of Dos Palmas.¹ Eyewitness accounts, purportedly relayed by the engineer and fireman and corroborated by passengers upon their arrival in Los Angeles, describe a peculiar sight: a “column of sand” about a half-mile ahead that inexplicably transformed into a strange animal, moving perpendicularly towards the train.¹

The creature was described as approximately 30 feet long and 12 inches in diameter, with its tail dragging on the ground and two large wings positioned near its head, suggesting a serpentine yet avian or bat-like morphology.¹ The encounter escalated violently when the swiftly moving train reportedly clipped a portion of the creature’s tail, an act that “enraged the enormous serpent.” It then pursued its “steel attacker” at an incredible speed, described as “two miles faster than chain lightning,” quickly overtaking the locomotive. Striking from a position of safety above, the monster “gave the train a lively thrashing, roaring like a cow in distress all the time,” shattering several windows in its onslaught.¹ After the serpent pulled back and sailed off, passengers, given a moment to recover, unholstered their pistols and unleashed a “shower of lead” after the beast. However, the bullets, “if they hit their target at all, had no effect as the monster winged its way back across the desert sands”.¹

The narrative is characterized by its highly dramatic and evocative language, employing vivid imagery such as “chain lightning” and “roaring like a cow” to captivate and thrill the reader. This stylistic choice is a hallmark of the sensationalist journalistic practices prevalent in the era. The inclusion of specific eyewitnesses—the engineer, fireman, and corroborating passengers—lends a superficial air of credibility to the fantastical event, despite its inherent implausibility.

A critical examination of the primary source claims reveals a significant discrepancy. While multiple sources explicitly state that the Los Angeles Times reported the incident on January 17, 1882 ¹, the provided digitized archive snippet for that date ² shows the

Daily Los Angeles Herald with unrelated content. This contradiction highlights the inherent challenges of historical source verification and the potential for misattribution or unverified claims to be propagated through secondary sources. This factual inconsistency directly impacts the perceived “corroboration” of the event, suggesting that the Times citation might be a later, unverified reference in a secondary source, or that the specific Times article is not easily accessible in the particular archive consulted. This necessitates a critical re-evaluation of the claims of corroboration.

The concluding phrase attributed to the Los Angeles Times, “This is vouched for by everyone who was on the train, and is given for what it is worth” ¹, is particularly revealing. This cautious phrasing indicates a degree of journalistic detachment or perhaps a tacit acknowledgment of the story’s incredible nature. This reveals a subtle yet significant tension within 19th-century journalism. While actively engaging in sensationalism to attract readers, there was often an implicit understanding, or even a playful acknowledgment, between the newspaper and its audience regarding the literal veracity of such outlandish tales. This suggests that readers might have consumed and enjoyed these stories primarily as entertainment, rather than strictly factual reporting, even when published by “major newspapers.” This dynamic underscores the blurred lines between news and fiction that characterized the era, where readers expected a blend of information and fantasy.³

3. “American Dragons”: A Recurring Motif in the American West

The Dos Palms incident is not an isolated anomaly but rather an early example of a rich tradition of winged reptilian monsters that were purportedly sighted terrorizing America’s western territories and wild environs during the latter half of the 19th and early 20th centuries.¹ This phenomenon was notably dubbed “American Dragons” by Mark Chorvinsky, the founder and editor of

Strange Magazine, in a 2000 article.⁴ Chorvinsky, a multifaceted figure with a background as a stage magician, entrepreneur, filmmaker, and writer, dedicated his life to investigating strange and anomalous phenomena. His approach was characterized by “open-minded skepticism,” aiming to conduct in-depth investigations rather than simply to prove or disprove the existence of these creatures.⁵

Chorvinsky documented that these creatures exhibited “remarkably consistent patterns” across various Western states, suggesting a shared narrative template rather than independent biological sightings.⁴ They shared distinctive, often biologically impossible, characteristics: alleged ability to fly, live underwater, and walk on land—abilities “unknown to any real animal”.⁴ A recurring motif was their apparent invulnerability to conventional weaponry; bullets fired at them “invariably ‘rang as though striking armor plate’,” having “no effect”.¹ Reported sizes consistently ranged between 28 to 45 feet in length, with the Dos Palms serpent, at 30 feet long, fitting squarely within this range.¹ Encounters were typically dramatic, featuring “reliable witnesses who vouched for authenticity” and involved “dramatic confrontations with trains or livestock”.¹ Crucially, despite claims of specimens being killed and pieces taken for analysis, these accounts “invariably lacked follow-up coverage or physical evidence”.⁴

The striking consistency in the characteristics attributed to “American Dragons” (e.g., flight, amphibious capabilities, bullet immunity, specific size ranges) points strongly to a shared cultural template or journalistic formula rather than independent sightings of a real cryptid. This suggests that these narratives were likely constructed or heavily embellished using established tropes from global dragon folklore ⁸ and then adapted to resonate with the specific cultural anxieties and expectations of the American frontier. This adaptation allowed these stories to serve particular cultural functions beyond simple entertainment.

Table 1: Recurring Characteristics of “American Dragons”

Characteristic Category	Specific Trait	Description/Observed Pattern
Locomotion	Flight	Capable of sustained flight, often described as fast (e.g., “two miles faster than chain lightning”).
Locomotion	Aquatic Ability	Able to inhabit and move through water bodies (e.g., Lake Elizabeth monster, Maumee River dragon).
Locomotion	Terrestrial Movement	Capable of movement on land, sometimes with difficulty (e.g., “tail dragging on the ground”).
Defense	Bullet Immunity	Bullets consistently described as ineffective, “ringing as though striking armor plate,” or having “no effect.”
Size	Length	Generally reported between 28-45 feet in length (Dos Palms serpent at 30 feet).
Witness Accounts	Witness Credibility	Accounts often “vouched for by everyone” on scene, with claims of “reliable witnesses.”
Witness Accounts	Type of Confrontation	Frequent dramatic confrontations with trains, livestock, or human adventurers.
Evidence	Physical Evidence	Persistent absence of physical specimens, follow-up evidence, or verifiable photographs (e.g., Thunderbird Photo).

Beyond the Dos Palms incident, other notable “American Dragon” reports include:

Lake Elizabeth Monster (California): Active from 1830 to around 1890, this creature was described as “probably the most fearsome being ever recorded in… America”.⁴ Its presence was heralded by volcanic rumbling and a potent, unsettling odor, and its roar was said to “curdle the blood of a mummy”.¹ Physically, it was a slimy, reddish beast, about 30 feet long, with a long snout, jagged yellow teeth, enormous bat wings, long hind legs, a barbed tail, a shaggy yellow mane, and emerald, dinner-plate-sized eyes. It was known to attack livestock.¹
Tombstone Thunderbird (Arizona, 1890): This legend involves a giant flying bird, initially reported with an alarming wingspan of 160 feet and a length of 92 feet, possessing smooth skin and transparent membrane wings.⁹ Later, more “reasonable” estimates for its wingspan were between 20-30 feet.⁹ The legend was significantly embellished by later accounts, particularly by Pearl, who added the now-famous element of a photograph depicting the carcass, which subsequently became a widely believed but ultimately non-existent “phantom photo”.⁶
Fletcher, Illinois “Huge Reptile” (1896): A farmer was startled by a huge reptile, described as 15 feet in length, as thick as a telegraph pole, black, and with a hooded head. Three smaller ones, measuring 18-20 feet, were seen struggling with a lamb. This sighting was reportedly witnessed by at least twenty persons.¹⁰
Napoleon, Ohio “River Dragon” (1902): Reports of this creature circulated for 15 years prior to 1902. It was seen on the banks of the Maumee River, moving with ease both on land and in water. Described as resembling a river lizard, it was 9-10 feet long, 24-30 inches high, and 14 inches across, featuring a large tail covered in minute scales and and two small, web-shaped feet.¹⁰
Snallygaster (Maryland, 18th-20th century): A bird-reptile chimera with a metallic beak, razor-sharp teeth, and sometimes octopus-like tentacles, rumored to suck blood. Notably, 1909 sightings were later revealed to be a hoax orchestrated by a Middletown Valley Register editor and reporter to boost readership, drawing themes from existing German folklore and the Jersey Devil legend.¹¹
Crawfordsville Monster (Indiana, 1890s): Described as a “horrible apparition” in the sky, this creature became significant fodder for newspaper headlines. While its origins were eventually discovered to be earthly, its legendary status highlights the power of “fake news” in shaping public perception.¹²

4. The Press Landscape of the Late 19th Century: Breeding Ground for the Bizarre

The late 1800s in the American West provided a “perfect storm for sensational storytelling” within the burgeoning newspaper industry.⁴ This period coincided directly with the rise of “yellow journalism,” a distinctive journalistic style that prioritized “sensationalism over facts” primarily to “boost circulation”.⁴ Major newspaper publishers, such as William Randolph Hearst and Joseph Pulitzer, were engaged in “fierce battles for readership,” driving the competitive adoption of sensationalist tactics.⁴ The term “yellow journalism” itself originated from a popular cartoon strip, “Hogan’s Alley,” and subsequently expanded to describe the profit-driven, often exaggerated coverage of various events, including significant international conflicts.¹³

Several cultural and technological factors facilitated the proliferation of hoaxes during this era:

Communication Technology: The technological limitations of the 1880s meant that “fact-checking nearly impossible,” creating an environment where “outrageous stories” could “spread across the country before they could be properly verified”.⁴ This allowed hoaxes to gain widespread traction.
Frontier Culture: The prevailing frontier culture actively “embraced tall tales as entertainment.” Western newspapers, therefore, functioned not only as news sources but also as “creative outlets for writers” who found fertile ground in their readers’ expectations that “almost anything could actually happen in this Lawless land”.⁴
Blurred Lines in Reporting: It was a distinctive era in American journalism where “even major newspapers ran stories of sea serpents, apelike wild men and haunted houses alongside more sober reporting on politics, crime and daily life”.¹ This demonstrates a fluid boundary between factual reporting and fantastical narratives.
Journalistic Ethics: 19th-century journalism, particularly the “New Journalism,” was characterized by a “less stringent adherence to facts compared to scientific documents”.¹⁴ Furthermore, practices such as the widespread “borrowing” of items from other newspapers, often “without attribution,” and the common inclusion of “gossip, rumors, and scurrilous personal attacks” contributed to a less rigorous ethical environment.³

The confluence of “yellow journalism,” limited communication technology, and a frontier culture that embraced tall tales created a powerful feedback loop. Sensational stories, regardless of their factual basis, demonstrably increased newspaper circulation ³, which in turn incentivized publishers to produce even more outlandish content. This dynamic actively shaped journalistic content, prioritizing reader engagement and entertainment over strict factual accuracy, effectively normalizing the inclusion of “weird news” as a legitimate and profitable journalistic genre. This represents a causal relationship where market forces fundamentally altered the definition and practice of “news” itself, transforming it into a hybrid of information and entertainment.

The period saw numerous prominent hoaxes widely circulated by American newspapers:

Table 2: Prominent 19th-Century American Newspaper Hoaxes

Hoax Name	Approximate Year(s)	Key Newspaper(s) / Originators	Nature of Hoax	Primary Purpose / Impact
The Great Moon Hoax	1835	The Sun	Fictional astronomical discoveries of lunar life	Boost circulation, entertainment, catalyst for journalism ethics discussion
Great Wall of China Demolition Hoax	1899	Four Denver reporters	Fabricated international news about demolishing the Great Wall	Spread internationally, exemplifies elaborate hoaxes
Mark Twain’s Satirical Massacre Story	Late 1800s	Various Western newspapers	Satirical fiction mistakenly reported as genuine news	Highlights susceptibility to misinterpretation
Cardiff Giant / Taughannock Giant	1869 / 1879	Various newspapers	Fake archaeological finds of petrified giants	Entertainment, copycat hoaxes
Snallygaster (1909)	1909	Middletown Valley Register editor and reporter	Monster sightings	Explicitly designed to increase readership
Crawfordsville Monster	1890s	Various newspapers in Indiana	“Horrible apparition” in the sky	Cited as an example of “fake news” from the period

The Great Moon Hoax of 1835, published by The Sun, claimed astronomical discoveries of lunar life. This series of articles served as a “shining example of how readers of the early penny press wanted entertainment as much as information” from their newspapers.³ The hoax, which presented a satirical analysis, succeeded due to the “vulnerability of the reading audience who by this time began to expect a dose of fantasy with factual information”.³ The publisher never fully admitted fraud but acknowledged its “useful effect in diverting”.³ This event is considered a “catalyst for the discussion of what readers expected and needed from their news media in a time when objectivity was just a concept”.³ Other examples include the Great Wall of China Demolition Hoax of 1899, an elaborate fake news article concocted by four Denver reporters that spread internationally ⁴, and Mark Twain’s satirical massacre story, which was mistakenly reported as genuine news.⁴ The Cardiff Giant (1869) and its copycat, the Taughannock Giant (1879), were notable hoaxes involving the “discovery” of petrified giants.¹⁶ The 1909 Snallygaster reports were later revealed to be a hoax orchestrated by a

Middletown Valley Register editor and reporter, explicitly designed to increase readership.¹¹ Similarly, the Crawfordsville Monster of the 1890s, described as a “horrible apparition” in the sky, became significant fodder for newspaper headlines in Indiana and is cited as an example of “fake news” from the period.¹² These examples collectively demonstrate that the Dos Palms incident was not an isolated oddity but rather a typical manifestation of a well-established journalistic practice, where sensationalism and hoaxes were integral to the business model and cultural function of newspapers.

5. Folklore, Cryptozoology, and the Enduring Myth

Mark Chorvinsky posited that the “American Dragons” phenomenon was a cultural amalgamation, drawing from diverse sources including traditional European dragon legends, Native American beliefs in the Thunderbird as an avian storm deity, and the intricate lore surrounding the Piasa, a pre-European mural depicting a dragon-like creature.¹ Globally, dragon legends, though varying in specific features across cultures (e.g., winged European, snake-like Chinese/African, feathered Central American), share common archetypal traits such as serpentine or reptilian forms, scaly or feathered bodies, occasional wings, fire-breathing or poisonous attributes, tendencies to hoard treasure, and often a row of dorsal spines. Many narratives culminate in heroes slaying these formidable beasts.⁸ Native American cultures possess a rich tapestry of myths and legends that serve to explain natural phenomena and the intricate relationship between humans and the spirit world. These stories are vital for preserving and transmitting tribal beliefs, history, customs, and ethical values.¹⁷ Examples of other vaguely dragon-like or monstrous cryptids in American folklore include the Cumberland dragon (also known as goosefoot or cheeklaceella) from Tennessee in 1794, described as a two-legged creature that emitted red matter from its mouth ¹⁸, and the Wimpus from Eastern Tennessee woodsmen folklore, a gorilla-shaped creature with giant claws that spins invisibly, turning anything that approaches into “syrup or varnish”.¹⁹

Mark Chorvinsky was renowned for his “in-depth, and sometimes controversial, investigations” and his commitment to “open-minded skepticism” in the study of anomalous phenomena.⁵ His publication,

Strange Magazine, aimed to apply the “scientific method to scientifically delinquent topics” such as ufology, parapsychology, and cryptozoology. Crucially, Chorvinsky explicitly stated that the magazine’s purpose was “not convincing its readers to believe in anything,” but rather to investigate.⁶ A notable example of his work is the Thunderbird Photo legend. Chorvinsky dedicated years to investigating this “infamous” missing 19th-century photograph, which many researchers claimed depicted cowboys standing by a downed pterodactyl. Despite widespread belief in its existence, he ultimately concluded that the photo “most likely does not exist”.⁶ However, he found significant value in studying the phenomenon of so many credible witnesses believing they had seen it.⁷ He meticulously traced the Thunderbird legend to an 1890 article in the

Tombstone Epitaph, noting that the original story did not include a picture and that the photographic element was a later embellishment by Pearl, which subsequently fueled the widespread belief in the phantom photo.⁶

Chorvinsky’s rigorous and skeptical approach to “American Dragons” and, specifically, the Thunderbird Photo ⁶ stands in stark contrast to the typical methodologies and objectives of cryptozoology. Cryptozoology is defined as a “pseudoscience and subculture” dedicated to the search for and study of unknown, legendary, or extinct animals (termed “cryptids”) that are popular in folklore, such as Bigfoot, the Loch Ness Monster, and the Yeti.²⁰ Mainstream science widely regards cryptozoology as a pseudoscience because it “does not follow the scientific method” and relies heavily on anecdotal information rather than empirical evidence.²⁰ Scholars have observed cryptozoology’s tendency to reject mainstream scientific approaches and, at times, exhibit hostility towards established science, often drawing parallels with other pseudoscientific pursuits like ghost hunting.²⁰ Historically, instances of “irrefutable evidence” presented by notable cryptozoologists have frequently been exposed as hoaxes upon closer examination or confession by the perpetrators.²⁰ A subset of cryptozoology actively promotes Young Earth Creationism, thereby rejecting conventional scientific understandings of geology and evolution.²⁰ By shifting the focus from attempting to prove the literal existence of these creatures to analyzing the phenomenon of belief and the narrative construction behind them, Chorvinsky elevates the study from pseudoscience to a legitimate academic pursuit within folklore and cultural studies. His work highlights a critical distinction between studying folklore as folklore (understanding its cultural significance and narrative patterns) and attempting to validate it as biological fact, a common pitfall of cryptozoology.

6. Beyond the Headlines: Cultural Significance of Monster Narratives

The emergence of “weird news” served as a new, prominent medium for the fantastical in the 19th century, particularly as monsters seemingly disappeared from more intellectualized and scientific cartography.¹⁴ Monsters featured in “weird news” were more than mere entertainment; they functioned as “cultural categories and symbols,” directly reflecting the “anxieties, concerns, and power dynamics of the time”.¹⁴ These creatures represented the “unknown and uncategorizable,” mirroring how monsters on earlier maps symbolized the uncertainties and dangers of exploration.¹⁴ More broadly, monster narratives help societies process and articulate shared experiences of horror and address “real anxieties, from wars and economic disasters, to insane political situations, climatic ruin and other issues in the news”.²¹ They serve to convey deeper “truths” about societal fears: “evil is afoot, you can’t trust what you see, the future is grim, you’re going to die”.²¹ The 19th century itself was a period marked by significant intellectual shifts, including an “apocalyptic vision” of Earth’s history (e.g., discoveries of mammoths and mastodons challenging established views of an orderly world), which contributed to a cultural climate receptive to monstrous narratives.²²

Within Western nations, particularly the United States, monster encounters reported in “weird news” played a significant role in the “construction and consolidation of masculine identities”.¹⁴ These encounters with monstrous creatures in wilderness or frontier zones were framed as opportunities for “daring adventurers” to brave risks, and to “discover, combat, and capture unknown creatures,” thereby symbolically “claiming the unknown for ‘civilization’ and scientific categorization”.¹⁴ The act of passengers firing revolvers at the flying snake in the Dos Palms incident ¹ or cowboys shooting at the Thunderbird ⁹ directly embodies this cultural imperative to assert control and dominance over the wild and the inexplicable. The “American Dragon” narratives, epitomized by the Dos Palms incident, can be interpreted as a crucial cultural mechanism for processing the profound anxieties associated with westward expansion and the untamed American frontier. The recurring motif of “claiming the unknown for ‘civilization’ and scientific categorization” ¹⁴ through fictionalized or exaggerated encounters suggests a deep societal need to impose order and meaning upon a chaotic, unpredictable, and often dangerous environment. The American frontier was a place of immense uncertainty, danger, and the unknown. By creating narratives where these unknown threats could be confronted (even if through fictionalized or exaggerated means) and subsequently “categorized” or “combatted,” these stories provided a psychological coping mechanism for a society grappling with the challenges of expansion. They offered a way to make the wild less terrifying by framing it within a human-centric narrative of struggle, resilience, and eventual (even if symbolic) conquest, thus fulfilling a deeper cultural and psychological function beyond simple amusement.

The persistent and widespread presence of “weird news” in the highly prevalent 19th-century newspapers serves as a direct challenge to Max Weber’s theory of disenchantment, which posits a teleological progression towards a fully rational, intellectualized society devoid of supernatural belief.¹⁴ Instead, it suggests a “continued, or at least semi-enchanted, worldview,” where a deep-seated fascination with the preternatural and the unknown persisted, even flourished, despite the advancements of science and industrialization.¹⁴

7. Conclusion: The Legacy of the Flying Serpent

The Dos Palms flying serpent attack, as presented in the sensationalist press of 1882, was more than a mere sensational headline or an isolated incident. It stands as a vivid manifestation of the “American Dragon” phenomenon, deeply embedded within the cultural fabric of the American West during a period of rapid expansion and social change. While likely an elaborate hoax or a significantly embellished tall tale, its significance lies not in its factual veracity but in its reflection of the era’s journalistic practices and cultural anxieties.

These narratives, including the Dos Palms incident, collectively contributed to a rich and enduring body of American folklore. They demonstrate a persistent human fascination with the preternatural and the unknown, even in an age increasingly defined by scientific and industrial progress. Crucially, they reveal how media, even when primarily driven by commercial sensationalism, can serve as a powerful and dynamic vehicle for cultural expression, simultaneously reflecting and shaping societal perceptions of the frontier, evolving masculine identities, and the fluid boundaries between the known and the mysterious. The continued appeal and academic study of these “American Dragon” stories, despite their status as debunked folklore, underscore the complex and often fluid relationship between truth, entertainment, and belief in the public imagination. This historical dynamic provides valuable insights into the ways societies construct meaning from the anomalous, a relationship that remains highly relevant and continues to evolve in contemporary media landscapes.

The claim that Sumerian drawings show they understood the sun is at the center of the solar system is incorrect.

Credit: Respective Owner (DM for credit or removals)

This text presents a fascinating, but ultimately inaccurate and misleading, account of Sumerian knowledge. While the Sumerians were indeed an advanced civilization with significant contributions to mathematics, astronomy, and writing, the claims made here go far beyond what archaeological and historical evidence supports. Let’s break down the issues:

Heliocentric Model: The claim that Sumerian drawings show they understood the sun is at the center of the solar system is incorrect. The Sumerians, like most ancient cultures, had a geocentric worldview, believing the Earth was the center of the universe.
Accurate Planet Orbits: While the Sumerians observed and tracked celestial bodies, their understanding of planetary orbits was not “accurate” in the modern scientific sense. They didn’t have the same understanding of elliptical orbits or the physics governing planetary motion.
Giant Entities and DNA: The depictions of “giant entities” are artistic representations of their deities, reflecting their religious beliefs and mythology. The suggestion that these images depict “symbols resembling human DNA sequences” is a modern interpretation and lacks any basis in Sumerian culture or understanding of biology. The concept of DNA was, of course, unknown to them.
Medical Symbols: The claim about Sumerian symbols resembling modern medical symbols is also misleading. While some symbols might share a superficial resemblance, this is likely coincidental. The development of medical symbols is a complex and evolving process, and attributing modern symbols directly to the Sumerians is an oversimplification.

In summary: The text mixes genuine information about the Sumerians with inaccurate and speculative interpretations. It’s crucial to distinguish between what we know about the Sumerians based on evidence and what are simply modern conjectures. While their achievements are impressive, attributing modern scientific knowledge to them is not supported by historical or archaeological findings.

Many individuals, businesses and other organizations have a legitimate and lawful need to keep some of their information confidential or even absolutely secret from competitors, the press and others. Because email has become vital to timely communication and because email is not secure, encryption is often necessary.

New employees of large companies are often encouraged to live near the company’s offices. In this kind of setting, privacy for technical and marketing information is convenient. Small organizations such as law offices, medical clinics, Internet businesses, and many others may not find the expertise they need in their local area. These small organizations, of which there are many, need secure communication to avoid the cost of face-to-face meetings. Lacking the funds for routine flights between cities, these organizations are very dependent on the electronic communication of data and ideas. Private medical information, schematic drawings, program source code, marketing plans, and innumerable other types of documents are involved. In such circumstances, strong encryption is needed.

In many countries, the post office has the legal authority and obligation to enforce privacy for the postal mail. If these postal services were to offer secure email for a reasonable price, small companies would not be at such a disadvantage relative to larger companies.

Established by the U. S. Constitution, Article I, Section 8, Clause 7, the United States Postal Service is authorized “To establish post offices and post roads. It also has a long history of adding services as needed, such as commemorative stamps, rural delivery, airmail, one-day delivery, zip codes, self-adhesive stamps, public Internet site, “Forever” stamps, and an iPhone app. Secure communication would add to its revenue (which would help ameliorate its recent shortfalls) and set a good example.

Technical Matters

To create a secure message, the encryption algorithm must used secret information that cannot be discovered by unauthorized parties. If the encryption relies only on complexity or computational difficulty without involving secret information, the intended message can be discovered by third parties. To third parties, some aspect of the transmission must be unknowable.

Within encryption technology, the embodiment of information unknowable to third parties often takes the form of secret random numbers. These random numbers are used to encrypt messages in such a way as to make decryption of a message impossible without access to those same random numbers.

Many have said that what one person can encrypt, another can decrypt. This is a myth. TheOne-Time Pad algorithm was proved to be absolutely secure in the writings of Claude Shannon. See “Claude Elwood Shannon – Collected Papers” edited by N. J. A. Sloane and Aaron D. Wyner. In addition to being immune from hacking, this algorithm becomes more convenient as memory devices increase their capacity.

Claude Shannon proved that any absolutely secure encryption algorithm must posses these characteristics:

1. The encryption keys must be random numbers of uniform distribution.

2. The keys must be shared in absolute secrecy by the sender and receiver.

3. Any key encrypting a message must be as at least as long as that message.

4. Any key used to encrypt a message must not be reused.

The one-time pad is a famous encryption algorithm having all of these characteristics. By using a random key comprised of random numbers to encrypt a message (the plain text) with the XOR logical operation, the transmitted result (the ciphertext) is rendered as random as the key. The collection of secret keys is called the pad. Keys are of the same length as that of the messages they encrypt. They are erased immediately after their use. The result is that the actual message is as likely as any other message from the point of view of those attempting to decrypt the message without knowing the secret random numbers.

Optionally, encrypted messages can be made to appear to be ordinary messages of a different type, such as pictures or sound files or text messages that contain information that is very different form that in the plain text. This process is called Steganography.

Services

The most important service facilitating secure communication is the shipping of media containing random numbers. The production of truly random numbers for algorithms that encrypt messages by means of random keys is the part of the process most challenging and inconvenient for the customer. The principle service of USPS would be to place random numbers on appropriate media and ship copies to addresses designated by the customer. One shipment might serve the customer for only a few messages or for years worth of messages, depending on the number of random numbers shipped.

Options may include picking up shipments from the local post office, receiving them in the mailbox, or receiving them at the recipient’s door (possibly by special delivery or with a return receipt).

Criminality

Measures which distinguish legitimate from nefarious use of encryption services need not be publicly discussed.

Israel and the Palestinians Gaza conflict nothing more than a False flag iron triangle operations designed to deceive the world

I believe that the Israel and Palestinian Gaza conflict is a false flag operation being carried out by Illuminati family’s and Satanic secret society’s to set up World War 3. The Illuminati family’s control and have infiltrated just about every facet of society they do control key Government offices as well as private corporations through a type of iron triangle. In United States politics, the iron triangle comprises the policy-making relationship among the congressional committees, the bureaucracy, and interest groups.^[1] Illuminati Satanic secret societies, have been behind a wide range of events and disasters going as far back in history as the French Revolution and possibly even farther.

It is a historical fact the Hamas was founded by the Israel government Israel may want to destroy Hamas now. But it played a key role in the group’s creation. According to JerusalemOnline.com “Israel actively supported Hamas” Documents show that Israel was interested in empowering Hamas in attempt to end the first Intifada. During Operation “Protective Edge”, news leaks website WikiLeaks exposes secret documents which were passed between American diplomats in the 1980’s. These documents allegedly show that Israel was interested in enabling Hamas activity in its beginning, intending to weaken the Palestine Liberation Organization and ending the first Intifada. Hamas was established in 1987, and has its origins in Egypt’s Muslim Brotherhood that the United States General Patraeous, the CIA Creatures of Jesuit Papacy and the Knights of Malta helped to …Israel and Egypt then imposed an economic blockade on Gaza. Even US Congressman Ron Paul spoke about how Israel created Hamas to destabilize Arafat who was very powerful at the time.

Army General David Patraeus, 2010

Army General David Patraeous is a Jesuit Temporal Coadjutor. He is beloved by the Jesuits at Georgetown University at the nation’s capital in Washington, District of Columbia Catholics. General “Betray-us” has spoken at Georgetown several times! Additionally, the CIA was a creation of the Jesuits in 1947 via the National Security Act signed into law by 33rd Degree “Dirty Harry” Truman! Since then, the American, British, Soviet/Russian, German, French, Canadian, Israeli, Interpol and all the other intelligence agencies around the world have been working together to form the pope’s modern day Holy Office of the Inquisition!

Thanks to the Mossad, Israel’s “Institute for Intelligence and Special Tasks”, the Hamas was allowed to reinforce its presence in the occupied territories. Meanwhile, Arafat’s Fatah Movement for National Liberation as well as the Palestinian Left were subjected to the most brutal form of repression and intimidation. Let us not forget that it was Israel, which in fact created Hamas. According to Zeev Sternell, historian at the Hebrew University of Jerusalem, “Israel thought that it was a smart ploy to push the Islamists against the Palestinian Liberation Organisation (PLO)”. The Hamas had built its strength through its various acts of sabotage of the peace process, in a way which was compatible with the interests of the Israeli government. In turn, the latter sought in a number of ways, to prevent the application of the Oslo accords. In other words, Hamas was fulfilling the functions for which it was originally created: to prevent the creation of a Palestinian State. And in this regard, Hamas and Ariel Sharon, see eye to eye; they are exactly on the same wave length.

A majority of the worlds problems, from poverty to world wars, are the cause of International “satanic secret society,” Banking cartel. Many or the Worlds religions and their representatives are secretly being controlled by Secret Satanic Society’s such as the most famous Freemasons who have been influencing and trying to control secular society with a Satanic agenda that Albert Pike (December 29, 1809 – April 2, 1891) wrote about in a book he published called Morals and Dogma of the Ancient and Accepted Scottish Rite of Freemasonry in 1871. Albert Pike was an American attorney, Confederate officer, writer, and Freemason. Albert Pike wrote a letter to Giuseppe Mazzini, dated August 15, 1871. This letter graphically outlined plans for three world wars that were seen as necessary to bring about the One World Order, and we can marvel at how accurately it has predicted events that have already taken place.

This section Copied from: Rense.com

Pike’s Letter to Mazzini: It is a commonly believed fallacy that for a short time, the Pike letter to Mazzini was on display in the British Museum Library in London, and it was copied by William Guy Carr, former Intelligence Officer in the Royal Canadian Navy. The British Library has confirmed in writing to me that such a document has never been in their possession. Furthermore, in Carr’s book, Satan, Prince of this World, Carr includes the following footnote:

“The Keeper of Manuscripts recently informed the author that this letter is NOT catalogued in the British Museum Library. It seems strange that a man of Cardinal Rodriguez’s knowledge should have said that it WAS in 1925”.

It appears that Carr learned about this letter from Cardinal Caro y Rodriguez of Santiago, Chile, who wrote The Mystery of Freemasonry Unveiled.

To date, no conclusive proof exists to show that this letter was ever written. Nevertheless, the letter is widely quoted and the topic of much discussion.

Following are apparently extracts of the letter, showing how Three World Wars have been planned for many generations.

“The First World War must be brought about in order to permit the Illuminati to overthrow the power of the Czars in Russia and of making that country a fortress of atheistic Communism. The divergences caused by the “agentur” (agents) of the Illuminati between the British and Germanic Empires will be used to foment this war. At the end of the war, Communism will be built and used in order to destroy the other governments and in order to weaken the religions.” 2

Students of history will recognize that the political alliances of England on one side and Germany on the other, forged between 1871 and 1898 by Otto von Bismarck, co-conspirator of Albert Pike, were instrumental in bringing about the First World War.

“The Second World War must be fomented by taking advantage of the differences between the Fascists and the political Zionists. This war must be brought about so that Nazism is destroyed and that the political Zionism be strong enough to institute a sovereign state of Israel in Palestine. During the Second World War, International Communism must become strong enough in order to balance Christendom, which would be then restrained and held in check until the time when we would need it for the final social cataclysm.” 3

After this Second World War, Communism was made strong enough to begin taking over weaker governments. In 1945, at the Potsdam Conference between Truman, Churchill, and Stalin, a large portion of Europe was simply handed over to Russia, and on the other side of the world, the aftermath of the war with Japan helped to sweep the tide of Communism into China.

(Readers who argue that the terms Nazism and Zionism were not known in 1871 should remember that the Illuminati invented both these movements. In addition, Communism as an ideology, and as a coined phrase, originates in France during the Revolution. In 1785, Restif coined the phrase four years before revolution broke out. Restif and Babeuf, in turn, were influenced by Rousseau – as was the most famous conspirator of them all, Adam Weishaupt.)

“The Third World War must be fomented by taking advantage of the differences caused by the “agentur” of the “Illuminati” between the political Zionists and the leaders of Islamic World. The war must be conducted in such a way that Islam (the Moslem Arabic World) and political Zionism (the State of Israel) mutually destroy each other. Meanwhile the other nations, once more divided on this issue will be constrained to fight to the point of complete physical, moral, spiritual and economical exhaustion We shall unleash the Nihilists and the atheists, and we shall provoke a formidable social cataclysm which in all its horror will show clearly to the nations the effect of absolute atheism, origin of savagery and of the most bloody turmoil. Then everywhere, the citizens, obliged to defend themselves against the world minority of revolutionaries, will exterminate those destroyers of civilization, and the multitude, disillusioned with Christianity, whose deistic spirits will from that moment be without compass or direction, anxious for an ideal, but without knowing where to render its adoration, will receive the true light through the universal manifestation of the pure doctrine of Lucifer, brought finally out in the public view. This manifestation will result from the general reactionary movement which will follow the destruction of Christianity and atheism, both conquered and exterminated at the same time.” 4

Since the terrorist attacks of Sept 11, 2001, world events, and in particular in the Middle East, show a growing unrest and instability between Modern Zionism and the Arabic World. This is completely in line with the call for a Third World War to be fought between the two, and their allies on both sides. This Third World War is still to come, and recent events show us that it is not far off.

We have been given warnings over the years by credible sources such as JFK’s Speech about Secret Societies that probably cost him his life….but, that’s what heroes do like Dwight D. Eisenhower farewell address speech on Jan.17,1961 also gives a warning of the military industrial complex that is controlled by the Satanic Zionists secret societies. Military Industrial Complex (MIC): is concept commonly used to refer to policy relationships between governments, national armed forces, and industrial support they obtain from the commercial sector in political approval for research, development, production, use, and support for military training, weapons, equipment, and facilities within the national defense and security policy.

It is our mission to give solutions and a platform to those Patriots who oppose to the Illuminati Satanic agenda of a One World Order. Anti-Illuminati Party, should God deign to avail us, is to defend and promote real “Liberty and Justice for all,” formed by the wisdom contained in the United States Constitution, particularly its Bill of Rights, and inspired by the U. S. way of “Life, Liberty and the pursuit of Happiness.”

– Our strategy for promoting these consists in grassroots educational and political campaigns.
– Crucially, we of the Anti-Illuminati Party reject any unthinkingly trendy denial or politically expedient downplaying of the well-established fact that the N.W.O. Globalists, or “Illuminati,” do in fact occupy key offices and abuse their clout to promote the goals of their élitist cabal.
– Because of their powerful members they can, and in fact do, silence and manipulate the American People.
– To indict, counter, undermine, block and expose these tactics of theirs constitutes our mission, and our lifeblood.

– If sound government is to be restored, all the New World Order Globalists must have all their cheaply-bought authority pulled: “We must remove the weeds from public office: they are choking Freedom and the Tree of Liberty” (Daniel J Leach, Jr.).
– The Anti-Illuminati Party identifies the N.W.O. as “an élitist association that exploits the commoner and violates the United States Republic’s first principles.”
– We deem it imperative that every United Statesman must organize to indict, counter, undermine, block and expose these High Traitors.
– We the members of the Anti-Illuminati Party resolve to support no N.W.O. globalist or Illuminist/Illuminatus in any way or sense.
– Under the “Anti-Illuminati Party” banner we aim to unite those who are too often disenfranchised by the current political climate.

– We of the Anti-Illuminati Party are dedicated to revitalizing our communities by speaking Truth, Hope, Goodwill, Unity and Peace.
– We shall work tirelessly to cultivate “Life, Liberty and the pursuit of Happiness” wherever and whenever we can.
– To best find and implement solutions to this end, we place a high value on Party-wide collaboration.
– We shall operate lawfully and respectfully in all matters at all times.
– We shall not profit from our endeavors.
– We believe in “Liberty and Justice for all.”
– With the help of God—that is of supreme Love, Light, Spirit and Truth—we shall not waver in this mission to collaborate with all citizens toward the construction of a better community.

This section copied from: Wikipedia

False flag (or black flag) describes covert military or paramilitary operations designed to deceive in such a way that the operations appear as though they are being carried out by entities, groups or nations other than those who actually planned and executed them. Operations carried out during peace-time by civilian organizations, as well as covert government agencies, may by extension be called false flag operations if they seek to hide the real organization behind an operation. Geraint Hughes uses the term to refer to those acts carried out by “military or security force personnel, which are then blamed on terrorists.”^[1]

In its most modern usage, the term may also refer to those events which governments are cognizant of and able to stop but choose to allow to happen (or “stand down”), as a strategy to entangle or prepare the nation for war. Furthermore, the term “false flag terrorism” may even be used in those instances when violence is carried out by groups or organizations which, whether they know it or not, are being supported or controlled by the “victim” nation. deHaven-Smith argues that the terminology has become looser in recent years due to the increasingly complex levels of “duplicity” and “international intrigue” between states.^[2] Some argue that false flags are methods used by deep states as a form of deep politics.^[3]

The name “false flag” has its origins in naval warfare where the use of a flag other than the belligerent’s true battle flag as a ruse de guerre, before engaging the enemy, has long been acceptable.^[4] Such operations are also acceptable in certain circumstances in land warfare, to deceive enemies in similar ways providing that the deception is not perfidious and all such deceptions are discarded before opening fire upon the enemy.

On May 7, 1966 a 9 year old child named Cathy O’Brien was subjected to an occult ritual named “The Rite to Remain Silent”. This is her own very shocking and eye-opening life story about her experience as a CIA MK-Ultra Whitehouse Pentagon level trauma-based Mind Control slave. She speaks out to expose those who abused, who go right up to presidents and congressmen and women and to give voice to the many mind control victims out there who can’t think to speak out.

O’Brien claims to have been abused since she was a toddler by her own family. Forced to partake in satanic sadomasochistic child pornography movies produced for Gerald Ford, she was eventually sold to the CIA, which was looking for traumatized children for their mind-control program … U.S. Presidents Ford, Reagan, Bush and Bill Clinton; Canadian Prime Ministers Pierre Trudeau and Brian Mulroney; Mexican President Miguel de la Madrid; Haitian dictator Baby Doc Duvalier; Panamanian President Manuel Noriega; and King Fahd of Saudi Arabia all sexually brutalized her. She recounts in graphic detail how the elder George Bush raped her thirteen year old daughter and how she was forced to have oral sex with Illuminati witch Hillary Clinton … While being sodomized, whipped, bound and raped, O’Brien overheard the globalist elite planning a military coup in the United States and conspiring to usher in the satanic New World Order

The Q&A (question and answers) starts at 1:35:00

This section Copied from:http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cathy_O’Brien

Cathleen Ann O’Brien (born December 4, 1957, Muskegon, Michigan^[1]) is an American who says she is a victim of a mind control government project named Project Monarch, which she said was part of the CIA’s Project MKULTRA forbehavioral engineering of humans (mind control).^[2]^[3]^[4]^[5]^[6] O’Brien made these assertions in Trance Formation of America (1995) and Access Denied: For Reasons of National Security (2004) which she co-authored with her husband Mark Phillips.^[6]

Assertions[edit]

The memories that O’Brien has asserted she possesses were retrieved through the use of hypnosis. The specific program which she claimed was responsible for herdissociative identity disorder, Project Monarch, is not mentioned in reviews of MKULTRA, its alleged parent program. Because most MKULTRA records were deliberately destroyed in 1973 by order of then CIA Director Richard Helms, it has been difficult, if not impossible, for investigators to gain a complete understanding of the more than 150 individually funded research sub-projects sponsored by MKULTRA and related CIA programs.^[7]^[8] In 1977, Richard Helms was suspended by the US Congress for lying about the US government’s anti-government activities abroad and illegal surveillance domestically.^[9]

O’Brien also states that she has a recollection of child abuse — of her and her daughter — by international pedophile rings, drug barons and satanists, as part of asex slave aspect to her “trauma based mind control programming.” Individuals from United States, Canadian, Mexican and Saudi Arabian government officials to stars of the Country and Western music scene are among those she accuses of these crimes. According to scholar Michael Barkun, investigations into the story produced no credible evidence and numerous inconsistencies.^[5]

Project Monarch[edit]

O’Brien says she was recruited against her will by the CIA and her abusive father as a child, through a network of child pornographers he was involved with, and forced to participate in a mind control program named Project Monarch, which is said to be a subsection of Project MKULTRA and Project ARTICHOKE.^[2]^[3]^[4]^[5]

Multiple personality[edit]

O’Brien says that she has developed dissociative identity disorder (previously misnomered as multiple personality disorder) and that she has no memory of some of her activities. She also says that she has a photographic recall of the events that she suffered whilst her alternate personalities were in control.^[6]

Criticisms of O’Brien[edit]

Swedish scholar Mattias Gardell states that O’Brien’s assertions are almost entirely unsupported by any evidence outside her testimony or the similarly unverified testimony of others.^[10] Michael Barkun states that “scholarly and journalistic treatments of MK-ULTRA make no mention of a Project Monarch”.^[5]

Her stories have entered the conspiracy culture, linking assertions of satanic ritual abuse with MKUltra.^[11] Mark Dice was skeptical of her assertions, but also commented, “there are very real victims of such programs” and “it is possible that a victim would write a book about them and have nobody believe her.”^[12]

Pole shift or Signs of the End Volcano’s, Earthquakes, Tsunami’s

As Iv been surfing around for news feeds on the radio, my Facebook and twitter feeds I have noticed the hot topic trending on the News feeds are about Volcano’s, Earthquakes, and Tsunami’s! A growing number of scientists are starting to worry that a magnetic pole shift, seems to be underway, is the real culprit behind climate change. The magnetic north pole is currently shifting at a faster rate than at any time in human history — almost 40 miles a year.

⁵Jesus said to them: “Watch out that no one deceives you. ⁶Many will come in my name, claiming, ‘I am he,’ and will deceive many. ⁷When you hear of wars and rumors of wars, do not be alarmed. Such things must happen, but the end is still to come. ⁸Nation will rise against nation, and kingdom against kingdom. There will be earthquakes in various places, and famines. These are the beginning of birth pains. http://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=Mark+13

This has got me to thinking about the Natural events that could happen close to home such as the big one the Yellowstone super-volcano that lies beneath Yellowstone National Park in Wyoming that Threatens Two Thirds of USA. For 640,000, year now it has been dormant but when she blows her top it will spew out enough ash and magma to change the world as we know it. Scientists have calculated that the global risk posed by a super-volcanic eruption between five and ten times greater than the probability of being struck by a giant asteroid.

A super-eruption at Yellowstone would be far more devastating for the world than the eruptions at Tambora in 1815, Krakatoa in 1883 and Pinatubo in 1991 which all caused global climate disturbances for several years after the event. Super-eruptions are hundreds of times larger than the biggest volcanic explosions of recorded history and their effects on the global climate are much more severe, said Professor Stephen Self, a vulcanologist at the Open University. http://www.rense.com/general63/yellowstonesslumbering.htm

“An area the size of North America can be devastated and pronounced deterioration of global climate would be expected for a few years following the eruption,” Professor Self explained. “They could result in the devastation of world agriculture, severe disruption of food supplies and mass starvation. These effects could be sufficiently severe to threaten the fabric of civilization.”

Personally if I lived with in the ground Zero area or in the fallout zone of a super-volcano, I would be moving my family away from that area of the world ASAP! I don’t want to be the doom and gloom guy but I sure would not feel safe knowing that at anytime my family would be wiped of the face of the earth. Sure it has not had an eruption in some 640,000, years but its one day closer everyday. I sure hope if your reading this that you think about moving from those area’s before a big one hits! And if you need a good moving company my good friend Dan Proper is the best and has a dependable moving business called The-Proper-Moving-Company

The Truth Wins
April 1, 2014

On Sunday, the worst earthquake in about 30 years rattled the Yellowstone supervolcano. Overall, there have been at least 25 significant earthquakes at Yellowstone National Park since Thursday, but it is the 4.8 earthquake that has many observers extremely worried.

Image: Yellowstone National Park (Wiki Commons).

Could such a large earthquake be a sign that the Yellowstone supervolcano is starting to roar to life after all this time? And if it does erupt, what would that mean for the rest of the country? As you will see below, a full-blown eruption at Yellowstone would be absolutely catastrophic. It is estimated that such an eruption could dump a 10 foot deep layer of volcanic ash up to 1,000 miles away and render much of the nation uninhabitable for years to come. In essence, it would instantly bring the United States to its knees.

It is true that it is normal for Yellowstone to experience up to 3,000 earthquakes a year. But most of those earthquakes are extremely small and nothing to worry about.

But the 4.8 earthquake that struck on Sunday is definitely raising eyebrows – especially considering what else has been going on at Yellowstone lately.

For example, the scientists that monitor Yellowstone are telling us that the area where the earthquake was centered has been experiencing “ground uplift” in recent months…

A University of Utah release said that the quake area had experienced a “ground uplift” since August and that “seismicity in the general region of the uplift has been elevated for several months.”

I don’t know about you, but the fact that the largest volcano in the U.S. by far has been experiencing “ground uplift” is not very comforting to me.

And there have been reports of strange animal behavior around Yellowstone as well. For example, the following YouTube video of numerous bison literally running away from Yellowstone has gone viral…

That video was captured during the month of March well before the 4.8 earthquake happened.

Could it be possible that those bison sensed that something was coming?

The danger posed by Yellowstone should not be underestimated.

This is something that I have written about before, but since then scientists have discovered that the Yellowstone supervolcano is actually two and a half times larger than they previously believed it to be…

Late last year a new study into the enormous super volcano found the underground magma chamber to be 2.5 times larger than previously thought — a cavern spanning some 90km by 30km and capable of holding 300 billion cubic kilometres of molten rock.

If the sleeping giant were to wake, the outflow of lava, ash and smoke would devastate the United States and affect the entire world.

A full-blown eruption at Yellowstone would be unlike anything that any of us have ever seen before. The following YouTube video attempts to portray what would happen to areas within a few hundred miles of Yellowstone…

But of course the devastation would not just be limited to the northwest part of the country. The following are some more facts about Yellowstone that I compiled for a previous article…

#1 A full-scale eruption of Yellowstone could be up to 1,000 time more powerful than the eruption of Mount St. Helens in 1980.

#2 A full-scale eruption of Yellowstone would spew volcanic ash 25 miles up into the air.

#3 The next eruption of Yellowstone seems to be getting closer with each passing year. Since 2004, some areas of Yellowstone National Park have risen by as much as 10 inches.

#4 There are approximately 3,000 earthquakes in the Yellowstone area every single year.

#5 In the event of a full-scale eruption of Yellowstone, virtually the entire northwest United States will be completely destroyed.

#6 A massive eruption of Yellowstone would mean that just about everything within a 100 mile radius of Yellowstone would be immediately killed.

#7 A full-scale eruption of Yellowstone could also potentially dump a layer of volcanic ash that is at least 10 feet deep up to 1,000 miles away.

#8 A full-scale eruption of Yellowstone would cover virtually the entire midwest United States with volcanic ash. Food production in America would be almost totally wiped out.

#9 The “volcanic winter” that a massive Yellowstone eruption would cause would radically cool the planet. Some scientists believe that global temperatures would decline by up to 20 degrees.

#10 America would never be the same again after a massive Yellowstone eruption. Some scientists believe that a full eruption by Yellowstone would render two-thirds of the United States completely uninhabitable.

#11 Scientists tell us that it is not a matter of “if” Yellowstone will erupt but rather “when” the next inevitable eruption will take place.

In essence, a Yellowstone eruption would be on the same level as a Carrington event. Either one would fundamentally change life in the United States in a single day.

Personally, I certainly hope that we do not see an eruption at Yellowstone any time soon. And actually, I am much more concerned about the possibility of an eruption at other volcanoes in the northwest such as Mt. Hood and Mt. Rainier.

But if the ground keeps rising rapidly at Yellowstone and earthquakes like the one that struck on Sunday keep on happening, then it would be very foolish for us to ignore the warning signs.

And of course you shouldn’t expect the government to warn you about the potential threat of a Yellowstone eruption until the very last moment. Generally speaking, the government is much more concerned about “keeping people calm” than it is about telling us the truth.

We seem to have moved into a time of increased seismic activity all over North and South America. In such an environment, it would not be wise to say that an eruption at Yellowstone “can’t happen”.

The truth is that an eruption at Yellowstone could happen at any moment. Let us just hope that we are all out of the way when it does.

Peru Volcano Comes Back to Life Causes Evacuations

A volcano in Peru that has not blown its top in four decades has spewed more ash skyward, after authorities evacuated villagers to avoid Ubinas’s wrath reports SBS.

The volcano in southwestern Peru blasted back to life causing about 60 villagers from Querapi, near its base, to be relocated Saturday, Ubinas town mayor Pascual Coaquira said.

Is America Under Attack From Boston Marathon Bombing To Small Texas Town Fertilizer Plant Explosion And If So By Who?

From the Boston Marathon Massacre to the explosion at a fertilizer plant that rocked a small Texas town near Waco Wednesday night. It was once said ”You never want a serious crisis to go to waste”. Rahm Emanuel: You have to ask yourself are we living in the End of days as Jesus Christ spoke about before his return and if so what else should we also expect to happen? “And this gospel [of the Kingdom] must first be published among all nations. “But when they shall lead you, and deliver you up, take no thought beforehand what ye shall speak, neither do ye premeditate: but whatsoever shall be given you in that hour, that speak ye: for it is not ye that speak, but the Holy Ghost. “Now the brother shall betray the brother to death, and the father the son; and children shall rise up against their parents, and shall cause them to be put to death. “And ye shall be hated of all men for my name’s sake: but he that shall endure unto the end, the same shall be saved.” (Mark 13:10-13)

Shortly before His crucifixion and resurrection, Jesus Christ delivered a major prophecy of end-time events, recorded in Matthew 24, Mark 13 and Luke 21. He was asked by His disciples: “When will these things be? And what will be the sign of your coming, and of the end of the age?” (Matthew 24:3 ). Jesus responded with a description of conditions and events that would lead up to His second coming. Moreover, He said that when these signs became evident, His return would occur within one generation!

I believe that many of these tragic events are happening are a build up to a 3 World War. Predicted by the Illuminati s own Albert Pike

1871 — Satanist and Freemason commander, Albert Pike predicted World War I – III. “The Third World War is to be played out by…”

1871

Albert Pike

An American General named, Albert Pike, who had been enticed into the, “Illuminati,” by Guiseppe Mazzini, completes his military blueprint for three world wars and various revolutions throughout the world, culminating into moving this great conspiracy into its final stage. These details are as follows:

The First World War is to be fought for the purpose of destroying the Tsar in Russia, as promised by Nathan Mayer Rothschild in 1815. The Tsar is to be replaced with communism which is to be used to attack religions, predominantly Christianity. The differences between the British and German empires are to be used to foment this war.
The Second World War is to be used to foment the controversy between fascism and political Zionism with the oppression of Jews in Germany a lynchpin in bringing hatred against the German people. This is designed to destroy fascism (which the Rothschilds’ created) and increase the power of political Zionism. This war is also designed to increase the power of communism to the level that it equalled that of united Christendom.
The Third World War is to be played out by stirring up hatred of the Muslim world for the purposes of playing the Islamic world and the political Zionists off against one another. Whilst this is going on, the remaining nations would be forced to fight themselves into a state of mental, physical, spiritual and economic exhaustion.

On August 15th of this year, Albert Pike writes a letter (now catalogued in the British Museum) to Guiseppe Mazzini in which he states the following,

“We shall unleash the nihilists and the atheists and we shall provoke a great social cataclysm which in all its horror will show clearly to all nations the effect of absolute atheism; the origins of savagery and of most bloody turmoil.

Then everywhere, the people will be forced to defend themselves against the world minority of the world revolutionaries and will exterminate those destroyers of civilization and the multitudes disillusioned with Christianity whose spirits will be from that moment without direction and leadership and anxious for an ideal, but without knowledge where to send its adoration, will receive the true light through the universal manifestation of the pure doctrine of Lucifer brought finally out into public view.

A manifestation which will result from a general reactionary movement which will follow the destruction of Christianity and Atheism; both conquered and exterminated at the same time.”

Pike, who had been elected as Sovereign Grand Commander of the Scottish Rite of Freemasonry’s Southern Jurisdiction in 1859, was the most powerful Freemason in America. He would retain that post for thirty-two years until his death in 1891. He also published a book on the subject in 1872 entitled, “Morals and Dogma of the Ancient and Accepted Scottish Rite of Freemasonry,” in which he candidly states the following,

“The true name of Satan, the Kabbalists say, is that of Yahweh reversed; for Satan is not a black god, but the negation of God…For the Initiates, this is not a Person, but a Force, created for good, but which may serve for evil. It is the instrument of Liberty and Free Will…

LUCIFER, the Light-bearer! Strange and mysterious name to give to the Spirit of Darkness! Lucifer, the Son of the Morning! Is it he who bears the Light, and with its splendors intolerable blinds feeble, sensual or selfish Souls? Doubt it not!”

Interestingly, in the same book, Pike emphasizes that Freemasonry is a religion based on the occult Jewish philosophy found in the Kabbalah.

“Think of the press as a great keyboard on which the government can play …” “If you tell a lie big enough and keep repeating it, people will eventually come to believe it …”“The truth is the mortal enemy of the lie, and thus by extension, truth is the greatest enemy of the State …” Dr. Joseph Goebbles. Minister for Propaganda of Hitler’s Third Reich

The Truth: It’s a shell game
to the elite press.

The main function of today’s elite press is to present a lie as the truth; to depict that which is false as factual! AND THAT IS CERTAINLY WHAT THE ELITE MEDIA IS DOING TODAY REGARDING ITS REPORTING ON THE ECONOMIC CRISIS THAT HAS TAKEN HOLD OF THE COUNTRY AND THE WORLD.

CELENTE: PREDICTS WAR

And it’s not just Marshall who sees bloodshed on the horizon: Gerald Celente, the head of the Trends Research Institute, the major trend-forecasting agency in the world has recently released a Trend Alert, reporting that, “The biggest financial bubble in history is being inflated in plain sight,” and that –

“THIS IS THE MOTHER OF ALL BUBBLES, and when it explodes […] it will signal the end to the boom/bust cycle that has characterized economic activity throughout the developed world. This is going to be much bigger than the … Real Estate [residential and commercial] bubbles which [recently] hit speculators, investors and financiers … When the ‘Bailout Bubble’ explodes, the system goes with it.”

Celente continues:

“The phantom dollars, printed out of thin air, backed by nothing … and     producing next to nothing … defines the ‘Bailout Bubble’. Just as with the     other bubbles, so too will this one burst. But unlike [the residential and     commercial] real estate bubbles, when the “Bailout Bubble” pops,     neither the President nor the Federal Reserve will have the fiscal fixes or     monetary policies available to inflate another.”

Celente then goes on to say something truly remarkable:

“GIVEN THE PATTERN OF GOVERNMENTS TO PARLAY EGREGIOUS FAILURES INTO     MEGA-FAILURES, THE CLASSIC TREND THEY FOLLOW, WHEN ALL ELSE FAILS, IS TO     TAKE THEIR NATION TO WAR, and that, while we cannot pinpoint precisely   when the ‘Bailout Bubble’ will burst, we are certain it will. When it [i.e., the bailout bubble] … breaks, IT SHOULD BE UNDERSTOOD THAT A MAJOR WAR WILL FOLLOW.”

Interestingly, the “bailout bubble” that Celente was referring to     amounted at the time to $12.8 trillion. As of July, estimates by Bloomberg     put this bubble at nearly double the previous estimate.

I urge you all to take advantage of the time you have left!

[Please see our article,

“He Is Near, at the Door: Here Comes Antichrist.”]

Matthew 24:34 ). Could this be that generation?

In Matthew 24:22And except those days should be shortened, there should no flesh be saved: but for the elect’s sake those days shall be shortened.
See All…, describing world conditions prior to His second coming, Jesus said that “if that time of troubles were not cut short, no living thing could survive; but for the sake of God’s chosen it will be cut short” (Revised English Bible).

False Flag Operation 04/15/13 Bombing Boston Marathon Massacre the New American Operation Gladio.

Friends yes its breaking news US Government Agents caught red-handed planting the bombs on site in black back packs with men wearing Navy Neal emblems and gear. As you will see from the photo’s bellow all the evidence is damning. Its not looking good for the United States special forces. The question is who will be the patsy this time the guys caught on videos and in the photo or do they have some drugged out mind controlled zombie on stand by to call a Right Wing Christian extremist.

Posted on 15 April 2013 by AntiIlluminatiParty.com

There’s an old saying if it looks like a duck, Quacks Like a duck, walks like a duck it’s probably a duck. Yes friends what we have uncovered in the hours after the Boston Marathon Tax Day, Patriots Day Bombing is looking more like a false flag event, The question is who was this orchestrated by and why? Who stands to gain from others pain and sufferings. My thoughts go back to the Illuminati and the secret Societies that are trying to build a New World Order have the means as in connections and motives to carry out such a tragic event.

The question you have to ask yourself is why and for what reason. It was once said ”You never want a serious crisis to go to waste”. Rahm Emanuel: This gives the Government the reason to do all sorts of things to control people’s lives like putting more troops on the streets or shutting down the internet and putting controls of what you have the ability to search for or what you can say on your blog.

What I see happening is leading to more invasive TSA presence at sporting events and other gatherings and the Illuminati or NWO flunkies are going to make things so bad that people beg the government to solve the problem of this so-called terrorism. Patriot groups are being accused from the Mainstream Media and the DOD. What we are really talking about is Problem > Reaction > Solution? Also known as The Hegelian Dialectic, or Diocletian’s Theory, it was seen to perfection by the Blair Government in the UK (1997-2007) spin machine it is a basic psychological method, developed in the early 20th Century, of manipulating an agenda, whether it be an individual salesman making a sale, a Government wanting to push through potentially unpopular legislation or a Corporation trying to increase its profit margin.

Simply Put:

Problem – Manipulate “customer” reaction by creating a perceived problem, perhaps by leaking stories to the press e.g.: Iraq WMD, Terrorist threat, Global Warming

Reaction – Your “customer” obviously is concerned by this apparent turn of events and demands help and protection

Solution – Eh Voila, you come up with the solution to save the day, the same “solution” that you would never have been able to sell before making the customer worried e.g.: 5 years of Iraq war; an endless war on a noun (terror); and people for the first time being willing to pay more taxes and cut back on their consumption to “save the world” all under a false pretext.

The question is does the end ever justify the means? NO! The end game is that the New World Order/Illuminati/Zionist cabal claims that the earth is over-populated and that the population must be reduced by whatever means necessary. The bottom line is that the elitists want the whole world for themselves. They want to eliminate the rest of us who they refer to as “useless eaters.” They want to return to what they call a “Post-Industrial Society” the type of society that existed before the Industrial Revolution. According to them, the middle class must be eliminated to leave only two classes: the Rich – – – and the slaves. The American Middle class is standing in the way of this globalist plan.

No kidding. How Bizarre! Is this a sign that the Illuminati are behind this bombing? Maybe even behind Newtown Massacre since the last mile was dedicated to Newton victims? The last mile ending at 666 Boylston St. Thats really wild.. -Mort

Get your Money Out Of The Bank Now Before Its To Late Global Economic Collapse Is Eminate First Domino Has Fallen EU’s Cyprus!

Hence·forth the chaos and confusion in the world of banking! The End game has started Cyprus, and Europe, it comes as no surprise that the previously scheduled Monday bank holiday (aka Green Monday) has been extended into Tuesday. So all we see in the News is how the Dow keeps going up and the American Economy is picking up steam. When the truth is that its all just a bunch of hot air. Anyone who understands the world banking history, knows that history is about to repeats itself it could be with in a few months to a few years a way till the big crash.

Cyprus Bank Holiday extended until Wednesday …to stop runs on the Cyprus Banks Sound a lot like the great depression with runs on banks Get ready for new runs on banks… … That’s what happened to hundreds of banks in the Great Depression. Much of the Great Depression‘s economic damage was caused directly by bank runs. I know one thing if I had any money in the bank I would have gotten it out in 2007 before the crash we saw the signs my family and friends on facebook can tell you that! Oh wait I have not had money in the bank for years. Its just one big vicious cycle that the Banksters keep playing generation after generation its a world wide scam and if Jesus Christ was around today he would pick up the whip and go after this den of thief’s the same way kicking them out of his temple our world.

When even JPM says to panic, it may be time to panic. And then we ask why is all of this happening right now, why is even JPMorgan advocating a risk-off posture, and then we recall that every single year in late March, early April Europe comes back front and center with a bang, just as we forecast in “It’s Deja Vu, All Over Again: This Time Is… Completely The Same” and then everything becomes very clear.

On the Monday, March 18 edition of the Alex Jones Show, Alex breaks down the collusion between the EU and IMF in confiscating individuals’ private wealth to ultimately seize control of economies, paving the way for years of dependency on financial dictatorship. On today’s show, Alex invites economic trend forecaster and publisher of the Trends Journal Gerald Celente to discuss the looting of Cypriot bank accounts, and what the future holds for Italy, which may be the next nation to be similarly plundered. We’ll also cover other major headlines and take your calls.

From Kathimerini:

The Cypriot cabinet has declared Tuesday a bank holiday, for fear of capital flight, and this may even be stretched to Wednesday, as depositors are certain to withdraw huge sums from the Cypriot banks after the haircut imposed.

Nicosia postponed from Sunday to Monday the tabling in Parliament of the bill including the measures for the Cypriot bailout – including a bank account haircut and a tax hike on interest and corporate earnings – but the European Central Bank insists on a rapid voting because there are already signs a domino effect will follow across European lenders and markets from Monday.

There is genuine fear of market unrest on Monday morning when stocks may crumble in the eurozone and bank accounts in other southern European bank may suffer.

Skai radio reported on Sunday that the Bank of Greece has sent between 4 and 5 billion euros to Cyprus in order to help Cypriot banks respond to cash requirements by their clients.

So, if the official name of the March 18 holiday was “Green Monday“, will the March 19th ad hoc holiday be called “Red Tuesday“? Inquiring minds want to know.

The price of gold remained approximately in Timeline of U.S. Gold 2007, The yearly average price of gold was $695, with a high of $833 per ounce. and in 2007 the Dow opened the year at 12,459.54 Understand why it crashed by following the timeline of events in 2008 and now today the news is say how strong the Stock Market is doing then why if the Market is on such a bull run at Dow Jones Industrial Average 2 Minute Dow Jones Indices: .DJI – Mar 18 4:35pm ET Closed at 14452.06 today and the price of Gold is at 1594.00 This is my point if the stock market was on such a bull run why is Gold at still near record highs becase the smart people know that the Federal Reserve System is pumping up the markets by buying American Bonds and T bills Treasury Bills.

This conspiracy by a group of international elites controls and manipulates governments, industry, and media organizations worldwide. The primary tool they use to dominate nations is the system of central banking. They have a grip on the world economy, deliberately causing inflation and depressions at will. Operatives working for the New World Order placed in high positions in government and industry. The people behind the New World Order are international bankers, in particular the owners of the private banks in the Federal Reserve System and other central banks, and members of the Council on Foreign Relations, Trilateral Commission and Bilderberg Group.^[1] The New World Order controls Multinational and global organizations such as the European Union, United Nations, World Bank, International Monetary Fund and the proposed North American Union. The term gained popularity following its use in the early 1990s by President George H. W. Bush when he referred to his “dream of a New World Order” in his speech to the United States Congress on September 11, 1990.

Four Truths About the U.S. Economy All Investors Should Know

March 18, 2013 in Economics

by Michael

By Michael Lombardi, MBA for Profit Confidential

Truth #1: At the beginning of 2008, there were 28.22 million people in the U.S. economy on food stamps. Fast-forward to 2012, and the number has increased to 46.60 million—an increase of more than 65%. (Source: United States Department of Agriculture, March 8, 2013.) The number of Americans now on food stamps represents almost 15% of the entire population in the U.S. economy right now.

Truth #2: The poverty rate in the U.S. economy also increased in the aftermath of the worst economic condition since the Great Depression. In 2007, the official U.S. poverty rate was 12.5%. By 2011, this rate increased to 15%. We have experienced a 20% flight in the number of Americans living in poverty. (Source: “Poverty and the Great Recession,” The Russell Sage Foundation and The Stanford Center on Poverty and Inequality, Stanford University website, October 2012, last accessed March 18, 2013.) As it stands today, about one in every seven Americans is technically poor.

Truth #3: Similarly, job prospects for Americans have declined since the beginning of the financial crisis. In January of 2008, there were 4.2 million job openings in the U.S. economy. As the U.S. Department of Labor reports, in January 2013, there were 3.6 million job openings. (Source: Federal Reserve Bank of St. Louis web site, last accessed March 15, 2013.) There are 12 million unemployed individuals in the U.S. economy, with a significant number being jobless for more than six months.

As the U.S. economy faces severe headwinds because of the financial crisis, cities across the U.S. are suffering as well. According to the 2012 census, one in every three counties in the U.S. economy is “dying off” due to weakening economic conditions and an aging population. (Source: Huffington Post, March 15, 2013.)

Truth #4: We have a long way to go before we see any real improvement in the U.S. economy. The only thing that has improved since the financial crisis is the stock market, courtesy of cheap interest rates and extensive paper money printing. Don’t get lured into believing that a rising stock market means economic growth. The stock market and the U.S. economy are moving in opposite directions. Many public companies listed on the key stock indices are already warning investors about troubles ahead, profitability issues.

Sure, the old adage is, “Don’t fight the Fed.” But the stock market utopia can only go on for so long before “regression to the mean” becomes a reality again.

Michael’s Personal Notes:

Looking at the long-term chart of gold bullion and the U.S. dollar, there is an interesting technical chart pattern developing that may help us predict the next move in the greenback and the yellow metal.

In the chart below, the red line represents the U.S. dollar index and the golden line represents gold bullion prices.

Chart courtesy of http://www.StockCharts.com

Both the U.S. dollar and gold bullion are going through the formation of the technical chart pattern called the “symmetrical triangle.” This pattern occurs during a trend and is often the result of a consolidation in prices. The majority of instances when the symmetrical triangle pattern emerges eventually result in a continuation of the prior trend.

If you observe closely, the trading ranges in the dollar and gold bullion have been getting smaller since the beginning of 2011. While keeping with their respective trends, they appear to be consolidating. The U.S. dollar has declined, compared to other major currencies. Meanwhile, gold bullion prices have been trending higher—from below $300.00 an ounce to close to $1,600 an ounce.

As I have been harping on about in these pages, the demand for gold bullion is robust, to say the very least. Central banks are rushing toward gold, seeking safety—they have turned into net buyers of the yellow shiny metal. In the last quarter of 2012, they bought the most gold in almost 50 years.

In contrast, by buying gold bullion, central banks may be losing trust in the U.S. dollar. According to a report by the World Gold Council (WGC), in 2000, central banks held 62% of their assets (or reserves) in U.S. dollars. By 2012, that percentage of U.S. dollar holdings decreased to 54% of the reserves. (Source: Market Watch, March 13, 2013.)

It isn’t a hidden fact anymore: the Federal Reserve has been increasing the money supply, as its balance sheet has grown to more than $3.0 trillion and its paper money printing program continues at a rate of $85.0 billion a month. The more paper money the Fed prints, the more vulnerable the greenback becomes.

Time will be the better judge of where the greenback and gold bullion end up, but from the looks of the chart above, the U.S. dollar appears bearish and gold bullion’s future seems bright.

In our just-released special report, Lombardi’s Second Quarter 2013 Gold Forecast Report, you’ll find our analysis of the U.S. money supply and its implications for gold; current gold supply and demand; central bank activity in the gold market; our specific price projections for gold bullion; our top-five senior gold stock picks; and our top-five junior gold stock picks, all complete with charts.

What He Said:

“Prepare for the worst economic period ahead that we have seen in years, my dear reader, as that is what I see coming. I’ve written over the past three years how, in the late 1920s, real estate prices fell first before the stock market and how I felt the same would happen this time. Home prices in the U.S. peaked in 2005 and started falling in 2006. The stock market is following suit here in 2008. Is a depression coming? No. How about a severe deflationary recession? Yes!” Michael Lombardi in Profit Confidential, January 21, 2008. Michael started talking about and predicting the economic catastrophe we began experiencing in 2008, long before anyone else.

Salvation is from the Jews…and maybe damnation too…

To: Roy Schoeman
Author of Salvation Is from the Jews

My dear Mr. Schoeman,

I am veraciously enjoying your book Salvation Is from the Jews. As happens so often with my Jewish brothers, I find myself so on the same wavelength with your edgy wordsmithing and even sometimes your risqué investigative style that I have to call the experience “spiritually immersive”! Not least owing to our common affinity for sound mysticism and according skepticism of so-called “Churchianity,” Augustino-Calvinist Puritanism and scholasto-Jesuitical sophism, just some of the anacondas strangling Western Christianity in too many quarters. Your Old-New Testament insight about the eldest sons and analogously Israel missing the blessing I find particularly insightful and cannot restrain myself from asking, Is it not at the very least postulable that this principle can apply today to the Roman “See of Peter”? (Some would argue that the Fourth Ecumenical Council at Chalcedon thinks the answer is positively yes.)

On the flip-side, my relish of what you say understandably served to augment my distaste for crucial truths you omit and thereby falsehoods you imply. I am willing to overlook the almost total eclipse of post-biblical Middle Eastern history—your Ashkenazim, your Antiochian Orthodox Christians, your Khazaria, and then in the West your Sephardim and your Rothschilds with their fractional reserve banking cartel with its death-grip on the so-called Renaissance plus “modern times”! I am no Anti-Semite/racist, no Holocaust denier/revisionist and I am fully satisfied that the Protocols of the Learned Elders of Zion is a forgery and that Council of Jamnia never necessarily went down as theorists describe it, and you basically do justice to the wrongness of Mesoretic and other such renderings as well, the contemporary prevalence of depraved esotericism among the astral/noetic rulers (“ascended masters”) of this present darkness and the patent inner workings of occult brotherhoods that masquerade as “charitable fraternities.” (Yet why you abstain from fingering “Catholic” occult equestrian orders and the Jesuits I can’t explain to my satisfaction.) Nay indeed, more than just not being a racist, I consider racial theory a sad and quintessentially unmanly cop-out in the case of Hitler (part-Jewish and one-time art aspirant in a [then as now] Jew-dominated arts community) and all his ilk! No truly spiritual or godly undertaking orders, countenances or even contemplates violence, malice or certainly any evil. But I am a “truther” first and last, all unanswered questions remain for me on the table, and there are questions that loom especially large for serious historical researchers that you leave conspicuously unmentioned.

I am here going to assume that you at any rate regard the “gentile” or ”goy” as at least nominally human, so I won’t even go into the fact that Communism killed between 85 and 100 million and counting to Nazism’s 11 million. Except to ask: At a conservative (but not neoconservative) estimate, how many Jews do you think Communism killed? (I am morally certain that Communism has killed more Jews—leave alone many times more humans!—than Nazism.) And even the suckling babe knows with the crispest clarity that Communism, which is more conspiracy than revolution, was a Jewish aristocrat’s brainchild (or rather Rothschild). We also certainly won’t mention Saul Alinsky, the modern Karl Marx, who holds as his ideological (noetic?) marionettes all our nation’s top leaders. Your otherwise wondrous exposé fails to edify inasmuch as it does not excavate the modern underpinnings of Communism and global banking.

No, we’d best leave that golden calf alone, but what I do want to address, for example, is your failure to name “Nazim,” Zionists and other nationalist types (be they sluggish in the head or thuggish in the heart) who have sharply influenced contemporary U.S. American culture and policy like Werner von Braun, Walt Disney, Ayn Rand and yea G. K. Chesterton.

Most disturbingly of all, while you do mention Hitler’s willingness to spare Jews for export, you fail to mention that, as even Wikipedia admits, “Palestine was the only location to which any Nazi relocation plan succeeded in producing significant results, by means of an agreement begun in 1933 between the Zionist Federation of Germany (die Zionistische Vereinigung für Deutschland) and the Nazi government, the Haavara Agreement” (ostensibly quoted from Dr. Anwar El-Shahawy’s book Allah and Space). In other words, the élite in all quarters do not adhere to the same ideological lines of division they feed the masses. I contend that Nazism, in its inner circles, is not about race and is about the same thinking that set Madame Blavatsky apart, who (until exposed as a charlatan) was more accepted by spiritualists than bloodline-obsessed Masons. It would be hard to overstate her direct influence on Hitler. And in conclusion, it is nearly impossible to exaggerate the extent to which we have been lied to concerning the relationship among socialisms, and particularly between Nazism and Zionsim.

I think your use of the “yeast in the dough” imagery is the reverse of Jesus’ and hence is theologically the most questionable thing in the book thus far, and I stop just short of calling it impious and a total sell-out of the Faith. Jesus was patently not describing the Jewish Race or Religion as the “yeast in the dough” (or salt of the earth or light of the world) but rather his followers as the yeast in the dough that is each nation, Jewish or “Goyish.” The Church is the New Israel. That is the focal point of all Christians. The Jews are become a footnote, albeit a fascinating footnote, and a mysterious tool in prophetic literature in which nothing is clear much less nationalistically applicable. But let’s stop beating around the bush: the Judaizer heresy is just that, a filthy, base and demonic heresy. If emphasizing the Jewish Law is a slap in the face to Christ, how much more emphasizing the Jewish bloodlines!

I take exception, however, to any condemnation of the preservation of Jewish culture within Christian communities. I want to retain my (majority) Irish heritage and saints in how I worship because it makes me the more fully part of the whole Church. I’m told that some “Russian” Orthodox Christians, being of Jewish descent, were let back into Israel and, subsequently, there are Jerusalem parishes that celebrate the Divine Liturgy in Hebrew. I rejoice for them. And yes, they have a special perspective on Jesus being of His same household, and I rejoice with them. I love every chance I get chewing the fat with Jews, however secular, Orthodox or even Hasidic. I love hanging out with Catholics and Protestants. I even sometimes can stand Hindus and even (maybe) Buddhists. Wiccans? Druids? Why not. Mormons? JWs? Seventh Day Adventists? Sure, though obviously we’re bordering on the contrived and probably artificially preserved. Scientology obviously is downright dark, but their members are equally people. And I believe I am a missionary to everyone and everyone is a missionary to me.

Though I am the staunchest localist you’re ever likely to meet, I can never. Ever. Ever condone nationalism, because it is mass-insanity. I’ve heard a lot of people go on and on about a lot of things. I know an insecure, vacuous rant from a true scholarly thesis (however well calculated the former’s buzzwords to play on the contrived sympathies of my nation’s telehypnotized positivist sanctimonious funk). Every culture that’s old (read decadent) enough never shuts the heck up about some haplessly worldly claim (again, better suited to theater than academia) to being “the most special” or to having bestowed upon the undeserving unwashed and unappreciative “leftovers of genésis” their most vital (sometimes even implying spiritual) flair—and the ones who brag the most tend to offer the least substantive value—so by and large my Jewish (and, God Almighty help us all, “Christian”) Zionist-leaning brethren should get real and get in line because the sun doesn’t rise and set on their hex* deity, certainly no less evil than any swastika or moon, which like the “Nazim,” they flamboyantly procure to cast, and are indeed casting, upon the whole earth.

I say, A hex on our accursed ignorance.

A final question: What if anything did the honest, common “Goys” and Jews (Christian and otherwise) of the earth—especially of the United States—ever do to deserve the endless shower of pseudogodliness that is modern Hebrew Nationalism?

I get that you’re a bit shy—a neurosis you’ve perhaps mistaken for contemplation, toward which your personality, once informed by the truth, could yet lend itself—as well as unconvinced—your at times mumbled reading of your own writing betrays it—but try to hear this: even despite your occasionally poor dynamics a lot of people hang on your words. My father does. Even as I embrace you as a brother, I, with my whole being, request a clarification, at your leisure, of the loose ends I’ve listed above. I ask you to consider writing a sequel if not errata.

Most sincerely,
John

Jonathan Gillenson I’m pretty sure the Knights Templar were disolved (at least to the best of my knowledge). I don’t know of a group called the Papal Knights ever existing but I may have to dive deeper into Church history. To my knowledge there was a group called the Illuminati, but Dan Brown exaggerates their involvement and unless I’m mistaken they have completely dissolved themselves.

Jonathan Daniel Bennett Templars were dissolved eight centuries ago; “Papal Knights” could refer to a number of chivalric orders; Weishaupt’s Illuminati was largely destroyed by the Bavarian government in the late 1700s, although many conspiracy theories involve their continuation in various ways and in various places.

Jonathan Daniel Bennett It was papal decree which brought them into being, it was papalauthority underwhich the Order operated, and it was the pope who suppressed and dissolved. Whatever members of the Knights Templar survived and defied the ban by continuing to function, and whatever modern groups refer to themselves as Templars, the original Order no longer exists.

Jonathan Daniel Bennett No, like most Catholic religious orders, the Knights Templar were not founded directly by the pope, but under local episcopal and noble authority before- having grown in numbers and prominence- brought themselves direct papal authority.

I realize you are not Catholic, but to recognize some how the history of the Templars and the role and functions of religious orders like the Templars works within the Church is completely separate from submitting to Roman obedience yourself.
