7.7.17



Have you heard some of the things people are talking about on social media that might happen on July 7th in 2017?


There supposedly could be a false flag alien disclosure/invasion for July 7th this year.

Maybe there will be a terrorist attack on that date?

What has happened recently for people to look with caution at 7/7/17?

Here are some of those events for past July 7ths:


1865 – Four conspirators in the assassination of Abraham Lincoln are hanged. George Atzerodt (b. 1833); David Herold (b. 1842); Lewis Payne (b. 1844); and Mary Surratt (b. 1823). A military tribunal convicted them, although a civil court should have presided. The executions were supervised by General Winfield Scott Hancock, a prominent Freemason and first leader of the NRA.



1930 – Sir Arthur Conan Doyle, the creator of Sherlock Holmes, died.
1937 – The Peel Commission Report recommended the partition of Palestine - the first formal recommendation for partition in the history of Palestine.
1980 – Institution of sharia in Iran.



2005 – A series of four explosions occured on London's transport system, killing 56 people, including four suicide bombers, and injuring over 700 others.

2016 – Former U.S. Army soldier Micah Xavier Johnson shot fourteen policemen during an anti-police protest in downtown Dallas, Texas, killing five of them. He was subsequently killed by a robot-delivered bomb.





Then there are the 7.7.17 movie openings, which some synchromystics view as insights into syncs to occur. The major films opening are Spider-Man: Homecoming (yes, yet again, the beginning story all over again), A Ghost Story (with Casey Affleck returning to be a benevolent presence), Hickok (about "Wild Bill"), and Superpowerless (what happens to a superhero who loses his powers at 40).

A Date to Watch: August 5, 2016







Update on 7.27.16: Various items in the universe are aligning for August 5, 2016.

It is the 300th anniversary of the Battle of Petrovaradin or Peterwardein, a decisive victory for Austrian forces in the war between Habsburg Monarchy of Austria and the Ottoman Empire of August 5, 1716, at Petrovaradin (then part of Military Frontier, Habsburg Monarchy; today part of Novi Sad, Vojvodina, Serbia). This was the beginning of the end of the Ottomans. After the war, a church commemorating this event was built on Tekije, on the hill over battlefield, and is dedicated to Our Lady of Tekije, also known as Our Lady of the Snows. The church is special, because it has both Catholic and Orthodox altars and both Christian denominations use it. The site is a place of pilgrimage on every August 5.

After the battles that defeated the Ottomans, they had lost most of their European domains 300 years ago. Viennese bakers celebrated their deliverance with what came to be called the croissant, a pastry in the shape of the Muslim crescent. Take a bite out of Islam?

The 100th anniversary of the August 5, 1916, World War I, Battle of Romani, in which the Allied forces, under the command of Archibald Murray, defeat an attacking Ottoman army under the command of Friedrich Freiherr Kress von Kressenstein, securing the Suez Canal and beginning the Ottoman retreat from the Sinai Peninsula.

It is the 50th anniversary of the groundbreaking ceremony of The World Trade Center of August 5, 1966.

The 2016 Olympics opens in Brazil on August 5, 2016.

John Hinkely, Jr., who attempted to assassinate President Ronald Reagan, appears scheduled to be released on August 5, 2016.

The film Suicide Squad will be opening in wide release on August 5, 2016.

Even close to my home, the Lumineers will be giving the summer's biggest sold-out concert (thousands of people) at Thompson's Point, Portland, Maine, on August 5, 2016.

It will be the first anniversary of the Antioch movie theater shooting of 2015, and the 4th anniversary of the Sikh Temple of Wisconsin shooting of August 5, 2012.

San Bernardino, Orlando, Dallas, Nice. It is a regular happening, mass deaths. The line of events is now long. It goes back for years. Lone gunmen, terrorist attacks, mass shootings, and even cars & trucks into crowds. What is next on the horizon?


Remember Friday, July 20, 2012? James Holmes opened fire on the patrons at a movie theater in Aurora, Colorado, just as The Dark Knight Rises began, killing 12 and injuring 70 others. The night was the premiere evening for the film. (See also here, here, and here.)

Do you recall the trailer that ran before the movie that night in Aurora? It was Gangster Squad, and it showed a movie theater being shot up with machine guns. That scene was later taken out of the actual film before it was released.



But the Aurora shooting did not happen in a vacuum. There were precursors. As I wrote a year ago, will the "Next Movie Shooting: August 5, 2016?"

What quickly followed was rather remarkable.



On Thursday, July 23, 2015, at the Grand 16, in Lafayette, Louisiana, an unidentified 59-year-old male opened fire on a crowd of viewers at Trainwreck. On July 24, 2015, I wrote about that in "Fayette Factor Hits Movie Theater."

On August 4, 2015, I warned of the anniversary syndrome with regard to the Lafayette shooting. 

We are coming up to the two-week anniversary for the Trainwreck/Lafayette shooting, always a dangerous window. The date for that anniversary - Wednesday, August 5, 2015.
People should watch out.
Besides Lafayette/Fayette, should we look to other "power name" locations or people*?

My 2015 prediction came to pass for August 5, 2015. I wrote:

On August 5, 2015, my recent forecast came true. Two-week anniversaries are significant. (And four-week, one month cycles, are, as well. That upcoming date is Wednesday, August 19, 2015. Predictive future forecasting is simple. What people do with it, remains problematic. At least, the copycat effect is now not disbelieved, as it was a mere dozen years ago when I wrote my book.)...
The predicted theater incident occurred exactly two weeks after a shooting at a showing of Trainwreck in Lafayette, Louisiana. The hatchet attack and air pistol shooting resulted in the death of the attacker and the injury of three patrons of the theater.
The movie that was playing at the time was Mad Max: Fury Road....
The 2015 event took place at the Carmike Hickory 8 Cinema in Antioch, Tennessee, around 1:15 p.m. The gunman at the Hickory Hollow Cinema, Vincente David Montano was allegedly armed with a hatchet, pepper spray, an Airsoft gun, and a fake bomb. He reportedly was wearing a surgical mask. He was shot dead by a SWAT team as he exited through the theater's rear door.
It happened on Bell Road, a power name mentioned here often. See also here and here....
The Carmike Hickory 8 Cinema and Hickory Hollow Cinema are references to Andrew Jackson. See more here.
And Antioch is dissected too.

But now, the one year anniversary will soon be upon us.

This is not "fear porn." This is using forecast to heighten awareness.

As I said on a recent 42 Minutes podcast interview with Sync Book's William Morgan (7.14.16 #235), people walk around in a fog. I am here to splash some water in some faces to attempt to prevent disasters. 

The movie Suicide Squad opens on Friday, August 5, 2016. Is it subconsciously broadcasting the kinds of messages to those who might shoot up a movie theater? Will it trigger the kind of shooting that we have come to almost (but not really) take for granted in the climate of violence today?
Suicide Squad takes place in a post-Superman world, following the events of Dawn of Justice, as the government grapples with how to respond the next time an alien visits Earth with less noble intentions than the Man of Steel. The answer, according to ruthless intelligence officer Amanda Waller (Viola Davis), is to recruit society’s most vile criminals, armed with lethal skills and superhuman powers. Her first target is possessed archaeologist June Moone/Enchantress (Cara Delevingne).
Waller’s program doesn’t get a green light, though, until Midway City is threatened by a powerful mystical enemy, and Waller needs to activate the whole squad of prisoners. The baddies get a break. Deadshot (Will Smith) has his Second Amendment rights reinstated, Harley (Margot Robbie) is carefully excised from her birdcage, Diablo (Jay Hernandez) is released from his own fireproof fortress of solitude, Boomerang (Jai Courtney) and Slipknot (Adam Beach) strap their weapons back on, and Killer Croc (Adewale Akinnuoye-Agbaje) is popped from his swamp. The one condition for their restricted freedom: Obey orders or die, a rule strictly enforced by squad leader Rick Flag (Joel Kinnaman), his samurai Katana (Karen Fukuhara), and the explosive devices inserted into their necks courtesy of Wayne Enterprises. (Thanks, Batman!) Throwing a wrench into all these plans is the tatted Gotham City arch-criminal, the Joker (Jared Leto), and his laser-like plan to reunite with his true love, Harley, mission be damned.
But a funny thing happens while these scumbags try to become heroes – they each must absolve themselves of their crimes even if society won’t. And that’s where it gets interesting. A layer of humanity – and sadness – resides underneath these characters’ stories as they each grapple with whether they can be redeemed.

Directed and written by David Ayer, the movie stars Will Smith, Margot Robbie, Jared Leto, Jai Courtney, Joel Kinnaman, Cara Delevingne, Viola Davis, Adewale Akinnuoye-Agbaje, Adam Beach, Jay Hernandez, and Karen Fukahara.

Suicide Squad will open August 5, 2016.

*What names to watch?

In Jim Brandon's 1983 book, The Rebirth of Pan: Hidden Faces of the American Earth Spirit, he wrote, regarding the "name game":
I'm not talking here of such spooky tongue-twisters as H.P. Lovecraft's Yog-Sothoth or Arthur Machen's Ishakshar, but of quite ordinary names like Bell, Beall and variants, Crowley, Francis, Grafton, Grubb, Magee/McGee, Mason, McKinney, Montpelier, Parsons, Pike, Shelby, Vernon, Watson/Watt, Williams/Williamson. I have others on file, but these are the ones which I have accumulated the most instances.

In my 1983 Mysterious America, I observed, besides John A. Keel and Charles Fort:
Cryptologic or coincidence? Jim Brandon should be credited with calling attention to the name Watts/Watkins/Watson, and its entanglement with inexplicable things. Some other names involved in mysterious events pinpointed by Brandon are Bell, Mason, Parsons, Pike, Vernon, and Warren. The influence of such names as Mason, Pike, Warren, and Lafayette, for example, issues, in some cryptopolitical and occult way, from their ties to the Masonic tradition.

Zooey, Tin Man, and the 66th Emmys


Hands down, the "Darling of Synchromysticism" is Zooey Deschanel.


In the middle of the Boston Marathon Bombing, what person's name was incorrectly posted by a Texas television station as being a suspect? Zooey Deschanel. Some hacker having "fun"? Weird.


I've read postings from several online individuals who have written about Zooey Deschanel. Often these synchromystic authors seem downright obsessed with this young woman. (See here, here, here, here, here, and here, for examples.) Jake Kotze, the man who coined the term "synchromysticism," is not shy about his interest in Zooey Deschanel.


It thus follows that I should pay attention to the sync quotient for Ms. Deschanel too. My own synchronicity moments have even occurred, down this yellow brick road.

So, I settled down to watch the 66th Emmys on the evening of August 25, 2014. Initially, my objective was to note various sync moments wihin the Robin Williams memorial. I began viewing, mildly interested in what kind of tribute Williams was going to get from Billy Crystal. Williams had done last year's honors for the memory of his mentor Jonathan Winters, so there appeared to be a new tradition beginning. Williams was more a friend than mentor to Crystal, so no one said anything about a curse associated with this pattern.


With Williams on my mind, who then stepped on stage? It was Zooey Deschanel. She was paired with another presenter who was announced as a new Peter Pan (i.e., Girls star Allison Williams). Zooey/Oz wonder (as in Tin Man) meets Peter Pan? Really. My synchrometer went off.


Allison Williams, daughter of NBC News' Brian Williams, was cast last month in the lead role of NBC’s forthcoming live musical, Peter Pan Live. She recently announced she is dedicating her role to the late Robin Williams, who was Peter Pan in Hook. Peter Pan alarms go off in my head. Readers of the Twilight Language know Peter Pan is deeply ingrained in the name game discussed here.


Allison Williams, in press releases, noted she has wanted to play the role of Peter Pan professionally since she was a child. This is a photo of her way back when, being Peter Pan.

Back to Zooey Deschanel's brief appearance....

Zooey Deschanel seemingly had a "new" look. Much was made by the fashionistas that her well-known bangs were to the side, and her eyebrows were showing. That was actually the look she assumed for several scenes in Tin Man.


Deschanel was seen on the Emmys' red carpet, with her new boyfriend, Jacob Pechenik, whom she met on the set of director Barry Levinson's 2015 comedy, Rock the Kasbah.

Zooey Claire Deschanel (born January 17, 1980) is an American actress and singer-songwriter. In 1999, Deschanel made her film debut in Mumford, followed by her breakout role as Anita Miller in Cameron Crowe's 2000 semi-autobiographical film Almost Famous.

Other notable roles have been Elf (2003), The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy (2005), Bridge to Terabithia (2007), and Yes Man (2008).


Zooey is the daughter of Academy Award–nominated cinematographer and director Caleb Deschanel and actress Mary Jo Deschanel (née Weir). She was named after Zooey Glass, the male protagonist of J. D. Salinger's 1961 novella Franny and Zooey. Her older sister, Emily Deschanel, is also an actress and stars in the TV series Bones.

Deschanel is a common southeastern French surname, probably for D'Eschanel, a variation of eschamel, "stepladder," or for Des Chanels "from the channels" or "from the little jugs."

Zooey is from the Greek, with Zoe being derived from zōē ("life").

My Deschanel synchronicity consisted of the following moments.

Last fall, I was in Hollywood, being filmed for an interview possibly appearing in Tracy Torme's and James Fox's forthcoming film, 701. 

While staying there, I was invited by my friend, director Peyton Reed to a screening of a remastered Shane for Academy members and guests. I gladly accepted and attended. While we were waiting in the lobby, who do we run into ("by chance") and talk to for some time? Caleb and Mary Jo Deschanel. 

Peyton Reed, of course, directed Zooey Deschanel in Yes Man, and knows Caleb well. It was a magical moment for me, as I am a big fan of Caleb's movies, on their own account. Caleb Deschanel is a cinematography genius. 


Take a look at Caleb Deschanel's IMDb listings, and note how synchocinematic his works are, e.g. Twin Peaks (episodes director), Abraham Lincoln: Vampire Hunter (actor + cinematographer), The Right Stuff (director of photography), Being There (cinematographer), The Patroit (director of photography), Passion of the Christ (director of photography), and National Treasure (director of photography).

Anyway, back to the Emmys....

So, after Zooey Deschanel's appearance, I thought anything was possible.


Then during the memorial reel comes the following, for Robert Halmi, Sr. Humm. Halmi Sr. executive produced over 200 programs and movies. Why would these two choices be picked, by the Emmys' producer, for this tribute slide?

There it was again, the Tin Man synch.


Halmi Sr. was an active promoter of Tin Man, as evidenced by his involvement in the press tour.






















Tin Man cast and crew (L-R) director Nick Willing, actors Zooey Deschanel, Neal McDonough, Kathleen Robertson, and Raoul Trujillo, executive producers/writers Steven Long Mitchell and Craig W. Van Sickle, and executive producer Robert Halmi, Sr. speak during the 2007 Summer Television Critics Association Press Tour for NBC held at the Beverly Hilton hotel on July 17, 2007 in Beverly Hills, California.






















The Memorial reel at the 66th Emmys seemed short. The picks for who would be in it seemed, sometimes, bizarre.

But then, along comes the In Search Of...'s Alan Landsburg visual. He is a man I met in Orlando, when I was the senior series consultant of the 2002 revival of In Search Of.... See my tribute to Landsburg here.

For me, the evening ended on a mysterious note when I saw my attempt to take a photograph from my television set of Alan Landsburg, instead, captured a screen image that reads In Search Of Philip Seymour Hoffman.




We really are in Oz during these award shows.

Oh yes, the Robin Williams tribute by Billy Crystal? That was anti-climatic. Not worth talking about, compared to Zooey Deschanel.
