Prestige Limo Crash: #HolyHex


What does it mean?

The Hex sign on the side of the Apple Barrel Country Store in Schoharie County, New York, towards which the limousine was heading, when it shot to the right and crashed.

"Schoharie" comes from a Mohawk word meaning "floating driftwood."


A prominent site in the Schoharie County is the Old Stone Fort, used for defense against British and allied Indian attacks during the Revolution. It was later used as an armory during the Civil War. In August 2010, the series Ghost Hunters filmed an episode about the Old Stone Fort; it aired December 8, 2010.

The large territory of the county (much of upstate and western New York) was long occupied by the Mohawk Indians and, to the west, the other four tribes of the Iroquois League (increased to six with the migration of the Tuscarora from the South to New York in 1722). After European colonization of the Northeast started, the Mohawk had a lucrative fur trade with the French coming down from Canada, as well as the early Dutch colonists, and later British and German colonists.

Some Palatine Germans, who worked in camps on the Hudson to pay off their passage in 1710, later settled in this county in the 1720s and 1730s.



"The Apple Barrel was built in the 1940s as an outlet for Edwin and Helen Vedder’s orchard on Terrace Mountain. Willis and Ruth Vedder Truax bought the outlet in 1965 and named it Apple Barrel. They sold seasonal produce, including apples, peaches, potatoes and maple products." From Images of America: The Schoharie Valley by John P.D. Wilkinson. 
The Loden family purchased the Apple Barrel in January 1983 after owning the Corner Store in Gallupville, NY. Since 1983, the Lodens have made several expansions to the business including additions for more retail space and the tremendously popular Apple Barrel Cafe. Source.

Most people associate the Amish with Hex signs. The truth be told, Hex signs are not representative of either Amish art nor Mennonite traditions. In fact, neither communities place the signs on their barns or other property.
Actually, Lutherans who came to Pennsylvania at the invitation of William Penn introduced these artistic signs to the area. These early Pennsylvania German settlers placed these images on birth certificates, furniture, textiles, and so forth. Source.

Prestige Limousines, also known as Hasy Limousines and Saratoga Luxury Limousines, is the company whose modified 2001 Ford Excursion plowed into the parking lot of The Apple Barrel country store in Schoharie, New York, on Saturday, October 6, 2018. 


All 17 passengers who were in the vehicle on their way to a 30th birthday party died as did the driver Scott Lisinicchia, 53, and two pedestrians who were hit in the parking lot.
Over at The Kitchen Sync, commentator Anita Ladaprarez, speaking of the limo crash, makes this observation: "What's going on now is so mind-blowingly complex and ornate and far-ranging that it takes considerable time to digest and research. The details and notes mount and one doesn't wish to leave out anything compelling."

One of the names of the “death-ridden” limo company is Prestige, which is code for magic, illusion, and wealth.


David Bowie portrayed Tesla in the movie The Prestige (2006), in which one of the main characters gets Tesla to develop a remarkable electro-replicating device for him.
Wardenclyffe Tower (1901–1917), also known as the Tesla Tower, was an early experimental wireless transmission station designed and built by Nikola Tesla in Shoreham, New York in 1901–1902.

Please look at the syncs in Florence hitting Florence S.C. and two weeks later a major shooting of police officers and civillians.

As Joseph Green pointed out:

"Shahed Hussain is the owner of a limo that was involved in a crash over the weekend that killed 20 people. His history is notable."

. . .

“...informant, identified in press reports as Shahed Hussain, a 52-year-old Pakistani with his own prior legal problems.

Hussain appears to have visited the Masjid al-Ikhlas mosque in Newburgh specifically to recruit potential terrorists, and defense lawyers say he offered the four cash and a new car to carry out the plot, which also involved firing missiles at military aircrafts at the Stewart Air National Guard base near the upstate town, about an hour from New York City.”
