Obama: Stonehenge, Dragons, Queen Bee, and Aliens

 

On September 4, 2014, US President Barack Obama and UK Prime Minister David Cameron visited the Mount Pleasant Primary School (rising sun logo above), and as the Newspaceman pointed out, "were photographed with the adorable schoolchildren in front of a Welsh dragon flag." 

The dragon flag was actually seen often along Obama's motorcade route through the area.

The Welsh dragon logo is seen on the Celtic Manor Resort signage, as well.

The flying horse (Pegasus?) logo of Newport was apparent, as well. "Pleasant" comes up often in locations such as Point Pleasant, West Virginia, and New Jersey, and at Mount Pleasant, New York, per John A. Keel's works.

PJ sends along these insights: 

I found Obama's visit to Stonehenge so particularly strange and synchromystic in many ways. These sorts of photo ops are so intricately staged as you know.

The article states the President flew out of Newport in Wales. It also states that this Raffle family lives a mile from Stonehenge but on Mrs. [Janice] Raffle's blog page, it mentions she is from Southsea in Portsmouth. Newport News and Portsmouth are cities in Virginia and also military towns like those in UK.

This is a very curious pic of her with her Queen Bee outfit on standing next to a child's wooden train set which looks as though it was set up to appear as an accident scene with cars, train cars and even an airplane. (See her website here.)

The photos in the Daily Mail story show two sets of clothing for both Mrs. Raffle and the boys including her wearing her "Queen Bee" shirt connected with her charity belies that this was any sort of spontaneous photo op. These people would have been vetted completely before any sort of "tete a tete" with the President (I found the use of that phrase very strange and not what ordinary people would use to describe a spontaneous meeting).

The carefully constructed photos of Obama in front of the three stones similar to the trident symbol - many, many triune-type images these days along with the Virginia links are very disturbing.

Finally, a conservative wag or was it a rightwing humorist, left this tweet about the event:

More Tridents: Poseidon Vineyard, DragonCon and Norfolk

Are tridents leading us to another foreshadowing?

On August 20, 2014, I predicted an event would occur tied to all the appearances of tridents of late.

Entitled, "Trident Alert: Watch August 24," a date was identified and the link to tridents was made. 

Poseidon, whose weapon of choice, is the trident, is the "God of the Sea," but also the "Earth-Shaker," the one who causes earthquakes.

August 24th dawned with earthquake news. Poseidon had thrust his Trident on August 24, after all.

BREAKING NEWS: Northern California has been rocked by a 6 earthquake!!!

Today's posting is to capture what the San Francisco Chronicle has written on this quake's epicenter (before these words disappear from their news site). It also feels if someone was reading my blog.

In Peter Fimrite's "Boats, grapes and Poseidon at Napa quake's epicenter," on Wednesday, August 27, 2014, in the San Francisco Chronicle, the paper shared, in part:

…The epicenter of what is being dubbed "the South Napa earthquake" was smack dab beneath the Napa Valley Marina, a somewhat nondescript boatyard, dry dock and launching spot surrounded by vineyards and farmland with a view of San Pablo Bay about a half-mile away over the wetlands.
…
The epicenter was found using coordinates provided by the U.S. Geological Survey. Geologists say it is common for the majority of damage to occur at least a concentric mile away from the rupture, which occurred Sunday when two tectonic plates - the North American and Pacific - moved horizontally past each other, causing the Earth's crust to crack where the pressure was the greatest.
Science aside, there is at least circumstantial evidence that the epicenter may have been chosen by a wrathful god, vineyard owner Arpad Molnar said. Molnar, the co-founder of Tricycle Wine Partners, owns Poseidon Vineyard, which was planted next to the marina by his father in 1973.
Molnar, who is also a sailor, questioned whether it was just coincidence that an earthquake would erupt beneath a vineyard named after the Greek god of the sea and often referred to as "the earth-shaker" because of the deity's role in causing quakes.
"The placement of the epicenter, which is literally right underneath the vineyard, is really, really uncanny," he said of the property, which, unlike the marina, sustained several 10- to 15-foot-long cracks.
Molnar, who once bottled a wine called "Shipwreck," said it would be nice if the earthquake actually improved the wine, but far be it for him to suggest such a thing.
"We don't want to make too much of it," he said, in deference to the many people who suffered from the quake. "But I think we'll probably end up doing a little special bottling for the 2014 vintage to commemorate it. ... We thought maybe we'd do a little epicenter wine."

My own sightings of tridents continue.

The above is the first thing I saw on my August 28th Delta flight to Atlanta. Even a fork can be a trident.

 In Atlanta, speaking at DragonCon 2014, I kept bumping into people with Tridents.

Various events made me look more closely at my own history. Where did this all start for me? Where was I born?

I examined the site of my birth, Norfolk, Virginia, to see how long ago this began, personally, for me. I wondered at "why" I would be noticing that fact now. Norfolk is where my father was stationed at the time, of course, in the U.S. Navy. While a few U.S. Naval Stations do employ tridents in their logos and insignias, it certainly is not true that they all do. See here. But Norfolk does, routinely.

CNN is broadcasting live, interviewing Chuck Hagel, Defense Secretary, on the ISIS/Ukraine crises, at 3:00 pm Eastern, September 3, 2014, from the Naval War College, Newport, Rhode Island. Their logo is above.

For more on tridents, see here. More on the "Meaning of Tridents," please read in-depth here.

BTW, be careful around September 9th-11th, folks.

Norfolk Helicopter Crashes

Last weekend, as I reported here, several aircraft mishaps occurred. Now comes news of two more that does not allow us to ignore their synchromystic overlaps.

On Tuesday, January 7, 2014, a US Navy helicopter crashed (pictured above) in Cley Next the Sea, in Norfolk, United Kingdom, during a training mission. The helicopter was identified as a US Air Force HH-60G Pave Hawk, which are modified versions of the more famous Black Hawks. They are combat helicopters used for search-and-rescue missions. To train, the pilots fly low and fast, usually just hundreds of feet from the ground.

The deceased Airmen were identified as Capt. Sean M. Ruane, Capt. Christopher S. Stover, Tech. Sgt. Dale E. Mathews and Staff Sgt. Afton M. Ponce.

Then on Wednesday, January 8, the U.S. Navy confirmed the crash of another helicopter (like the one above), that went down 18 nautical miles (33km) east of Norfolk, Virginia. The cause of the crash is not yet known.

In that crash, two people died after their MH-53E Sea Dragon went down. Two other crew remain hospitalized. On Thursday, the Coast Guard called off the search to find the missing fifth crew member.

The two crew members who died in the crash have been identified as 25-year-old Petty Officer Brian Andrew Collins of Truckee, California and 29-year-old Lt. J. Wesley Van Dorn of Greensboro, North Carolina. The missing man was identified as 39-year-old Lt. Sean Christopher Snyder from Santee, California.

The downed helicopter was assigned to Helicopter Mine Countermeasures Squadron 14 (HM-14), the commander of Naval Air Force Atlantic said in a statement.

Norfolk, Virginia, is an important hub for the US military, and is home to Naval Station Norfolk, the largest naval complex in the world.

Speaking of the Norfolk, Virginia crash, the BBC News noted, "In a bizarre coincidence, the incident came a day after another US military helicopter crashed in the county of Norfolk, England."

The name "Norfolk" derives from terms which meant "the northern people." This name is referenced to the Scandinavian invaders, i.e. Norse-folk; another is that the name literally meant "folk from the north" and was used to differentiate between them and the "folk from the south," as was possibly true in the case of people living in the counties we now know as Norfolk and Suffolk.

Norfolk is first mentioned in Anglo-Saxon wills dating from 1043–5 and later as Norðfolc in the Anglo-Saxon Chronicle (written in 1075) and as Nordfolc in the Domesday Book.

Evil Clowns Update: Gaywood Sighting Latest In Epidemic

Public told not to approach anyone wearing 'Halloween-type' clown masks after spate of reports of terrifying sightings

A police force has told members of the public to ignore people dressed as clowns if they meet them in the street.

Norfolk police received a report from a member of the public alarmed by a clown sighting in Gaywood, near King's Lynn, on Tuesday evening.

The suspect was described as wearing a "full clown outfit" with a red suit and red hair.

The following evening the force received a similar report after two clowns were spotted near a skate park in the town. These people wore "Halloween-type" clown masks.

In both cases, the callers reported being alarmed and being chased a short way up the road.

It follows recent reports of the circus characters scaring people in Northampton.

Superintendent Carl Edwards said no one had been injured or assaulted. He added that it seemed whoever was behind the makeup was probably trying to shock people and it was best not to give them the attention.

Officers would patrol areas where the reports had been made and, if they found any clowns, they would "offer them strong words of advice", he said. "Firstly I'd like to stress that it isn't against the law to dress up as a clown.

"Nobody has been assaulted and it appears that the people involved are waiting for a passerby to be startled by their appearance and run away, and then the clown runs after them for a short distance.

"We know there has been a lot of gossip and conversations about this on social media channels, not just in Norfolk, and it is important to gain a perspective on these incidents.

"We appreciate this can worry people, especially the young or elderly. The most effective way to behave if you are to see someone dressed up is to give no reaction – because that's what they are after."

Attack of the Oompa Loompas

Year 2013's first media report of a Joker-like incident appears to be the one about Oompa Loompas attacking a man. This occurred on Prince of Wales Road, in the city center of Norwich, United Kingdom, in the early hours of Thursday, December 27, 2012, but is "trending," as they say, on January 1, 2013.

A spokesman for the Norfolk Police issued this statement:

Police are seeking a group of four people, two of whom were dressed as Oompa-Loompas, who attacked a male on a night out.

Two of the males were dressed as Oompa-Loompas from Charlie and the Chocolate Factory, with painted orange faces and dyed green hair and were wearing hooped tops.

One of the males in the group then pushed the victim to the floor before he got up. He was then hit on the head, fell to the floor and hit again.

Norfolk Police said a 28-year-old man was left with cuts to his face, nose and lip, as well as two black eyes, after being confronted by the fictional factory workers as he left a kebab house in Norwich.

Oompa-Loompas are fictional characters from Roald Dahl's books Charlie and the Chocolate Factory and Charlie and the Great Glass Elevator. In early editions of the novel, the little people are shown as African pygmies. 

Following growing controversy and criticism, in later editions of Dahl's book, the Oompa Loopmas are white skinned and golden haired. Nevertheless, Oompa Loompas reportedly come from Loompaland, which is a region of Loompa, a small isolated area in the West Africa.

Today, due to the movies of the book, Oompa Loompas are known for their short stature, green hair, orange skin and white pants with protruding knees.

In the 1971 film (Mel Stuart's Willy Wonka & the Chocolate Factory, starring Gene Wilder), the male Oompa-Loompas are seen working in the factory, and were orange-skinned. The 1971 film shows the Oompa Loompas wearing Germanic clothing with striped shirts and baggy lederhosen-like pants. 

In the 2005 film (Tim Burton's Charlie and the Chocolate Factory, starring Johnny Deep), the Oompa Loompas are noted wearing tribal clothing in their native Loompaland and typical factory worker uniforms in the factory.

The Norwich attacking Oompa Loompas appear to have followed the 1971 model for the short men.

1950-1951: The Discovery of Gender Differences

I was born in the midst of the Roswell melodrama in the U.S. Navy military location of Norfolk ("northern people"), Virginia ("maiden"), on July 12, 1947.

My family moved back to Illinois ("tribe of superior people"), specifically Decatur ("sign of the cat"), soon afterward.

Today, my sister Susan ("lily") forwarded me proof that I discovered the female of the Homo sapiens species, sometime between 1950 and 1951 (a full decade before becoming a Fortean/cryptozoologist).

Here's the photographic evidence:

Loren Coleman, September 1950.

Loren Coleman and a friend, 1951.

Did I mention I grew up in Illinois. :-) 

Now, for the great synchromystic researchers out there, what is my middle name, which means "from the old forest" and/or "of the old, noble woods"?
