The Illuminati Strikes Again: April 19th and 20th Are Fraught

April 20th is indeed a cursed date in history. Everyone and their dog knows about the two most cited events of this date is history: 1) Adolf Hitler was born in 1889, becoming the most famous advertisement for pulling out early ever, and 2) the Columbine High School massacre in 1999. But, certainly, there are other events that occurred on April 20th that prove it is the most cursed date in history. – Ghoulpool

Dominant Social Theme: There are certain days that are terrible, just terrible.

Free-Market Analysis: April 19th and 20th are bad days, from a freedom standpoint. Here's a list of April 20th's historical sad and bad events, courtesy of Ghoulpool.com:

1792 – France declares war on Austria, the beginning of French Revolutionary Wars (did the French really deserve to be free?)

1836 – U.S. Congress passes an act creating the Wisconsin Territory (besides cheese, what has Wisconsin ever given us? The Green Bay Packers? Please....)

1914 – Seventeen men, women, and children die in the Ludlow Massacre during a bitter Colorado coal-miner's strike

1961 – Failure of the Bay of Pigs Invasion of US troops against Cuba

2004 – In Utica, IL 9 people were killed when an F3 tornado hits downtown

Now, a close reading of the above will reveal that the author, to some extent, has his tongue firmly planted in his cheek. A further reading of his article reveals that this was the day US President Jimmy Carter was attacked by a "killer rabbit," thus rendering Carter, according to the author, "the biggest doofus in our country's presidential history."

A more sinister list has been compiled at the website of conspiracy theorist Jack Blood and can be seen at his website, deadlinelive.info. This one feature's TODAY'S events ...

We're not just printing these lists for purposes of entertainment or titillation. They bring up a point we've wanted to make for a while about the use of numerology by the powers-that-be.

It's evident and obvious that the power elite that wants to run the world makes use of secret societies and likely Satanic symbolism. Even the repeated occurrence of bad things happening on certain dates in history fits into this larger effort.

And as a result, it's generated a full-out industry within the larger alternative 'Net media. There are hundreds, even thousands, of blog sites devoted to analyzing the "Illuminati" and its "Satanic core."

Masonic symbols are dissected freely and with excruciating detail. There is no doubt, of course, that such symbolism plays a part in what is rapidly turning into a kind of "new world order."

But we have often questioned whether this symbolism is sincere or part of a larger dominant social theme employed by the elites to cow and intimidate the opposition.

The elites are skilled at using fear-based propaganda. It occurred to us long ago that much of what is repeated about the elites – their purported use of child sacrifice and other equally horrible rituals – is merely more of the same, intentional propaganda designed for specific purposes.

We have a hard time, for instance, believing that people who can patiently plan to rule the world for centuries are simply demon worshippers. We would much rather suspect that these individuals and dynastic families EMPLOY numerology and certain religious rituals.

The history of humankind is the history of elites using various kinds of religious worship to cement their rule and intimidate supplicants and enemies alike. Yet we are supposed to believe that the current generations are somehow victims of their own belief structure.

In our view, it likely doesn't work that way. Those who give too much credence to Illuminati symbolism and Satanic cults may in fact be doing the handiwork of those who promulgate such themes with considerable effort and malice aforethought.

This is the same group that has planted various ethnic prejudices at the heart of the coming global governance. Those who link this movement to a specific ethnicity alone are likely supporting the very memes that the elites want touted. This allows them to then claim victimhood. They become victims of "prejudice."

Those who try to tar this elite group of dynastic families and their corporate, religious and military enablers and supporters with one – and only one – specific ethnicity and who then further imbue this group with numerological and magical characteristics may be falling into a subtle trap.

What if this group intends for these memes to be spread? That's how they work, after all.

We have often noted this group constitutes a criminal enterprise and that racial characteristics are a secondary aspect of a generalized manipulation. Remove the "race" factor and the manipulation would remain.

Conclusion: It is complicated by the incessant emphasis on "majick" that is designed to provide an air of mystery and inevitability. Are commentators, with the best of intentions, playing into the hands of the very groups they likely despise?
