Orem School Stabbing


The pattern is clear. The sudden fading of the wall-to-wall coverage of the 2016 Election and the Creepy Clown epidemic has left a media void. A year of terror attacks and mass shootings is primed for school violence. Today, an incident occurred.

There was a mass school stabbing today at the Mountain View High School in Orem, Utah (mascot, the Bruins).

Before 8:00 am this morning of November 15, 2016, at Mountain View High School, a male 16-year old student stabbed 5 other students in the boys locker room, before stabbing himself. The suspect was apprehended by the school resource officer. All five victims and the suspect were transported to area hospitals. Injuries range from critical to fair. None are life threatening.

JoDee Sundberg, of the Alpine School District Board, said in a statement: "I am at the District office. There were 7 stabbed and the perpetrator (a young man who is a student) and not one who has been a problem, also stabbed himself. The stabbings are not life threatening but serious. The school is on a soft lock down. The district has sent a crisis team with counselors. Parents will be contacted if they want to check out their students they can do this. The superintendent has asked that the school does not just send kids home across the board. We don't want the kids to just be out on there own with out parents or crisis help. Hope this info will help."

Police said the suspect used a 3-inch-long knife to stab the victims. Officials said the student was previously home-schooled. This is his first year as a student at Mountain View High School.
 
The City of Orem is located on the eastern shore of Utah Lake. It borders Provo, Utah on the east and south, and is located at the base of Mount Timpanogos. The word Timpanogos comes from the Timpanogots tribe who lived in the surrounding valleys from AD 1400. The name translates as "rock" (tumpi-), and "water mouth" or "canyon" (panogos).

At one time the area was known as Sharon, a Biblical name for a mostly level strip of land running between mountains and the sea, and the name of the Vermont birth town of Joseph Smith, founder of the Latter Day Saint movement. Another former name was Provo Bench. In an apparent attempt to attract more investment to the town and provide an easy way for the large population of farmers with orchards to ship produce, in 1914 it was named after Walter C. Orem, President of the Salt Lake and Utah Railroad in the early 1900s. Orem was incorporated in 1919.

Orem uses the slogan "Family City USA." In 2010 Forbes rated it the 5th best place to raise a family. Also, Time magazine rated the Provo-Orem area as the best place to live for spiritual well-being, due to a high population of members of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints. 


I mentioned on Twitter early this morning that today, November 15, 2016, is the 50th anniversary of the first acknowledged sightings of Mothman. I specifically talked about how the name Mothman was coined by a newspaper headline writer, not a zoologist. Most cryptozoologists who have studied the phenomenon has discussed the Mothman as a "giant owl," not a "giant insect."


By coincidence, the Orem Owlz of the minor league baseball Pioneer League play their home games at the Utah Valley University.

Mormons, Mason, and Brussels

It seems a strange coincidence that on the day - 3.22.16 - when the Mormon vote in Utah would be in the background, four Mormons (one French, three Americans) happened to be at the Brussels airport during the explosion on 3.22. Mormons are understood to be members of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints (LDS Church).

(For more about the Belgian events, see here.)

One of the four, 19-year-old (Elder) Mason Wells, who was injured in the blast, has been spotlighted by the media. Why? 

Richard Norby, Mason Wells, Joseph Empey, and Fanny Rachel Clain, left to right.

Four Mormon missionaries were injured by a blast at the airport, their church said, three seriously. One, Mason Wells, 19, was reportedly only one block away from the Boston bombing in 2013, and was in Paris during terror attacks there in November.
Two other missionaries, Richard Norby, 66 and Joseph Empey, 20 from Utah were seriously injured, officials from the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints said. A fourth, Fanny Clain, suffered minor injuries. Source.

The coincidences of Wells' location during three terrorist attacks is being noted frequently. Mason Wells was in Paris during the attacks of November 13, 2015, and watching the Boston Marathon (of April 15, 2013) because his mother was running in the race during that bombing. The Marathon bombing is tied to a Masonic location on a significant date.


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. ~ Jim Brandon, The Rebirth of Pan: Hidden Faces of the American Earth Spirit, 1983.
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. ~ Loren Coleman, Mysterious America, 1983, new edition 2007.

As the airport location of the bombings in Brussels becomes more known, it appears that that attack was set to target three USA airlines and the associated Americans.

Two blasts detonated near the American Airlines, United, and Delta check-in desks at Brussels Airport at 8 am (7 am GMT) during the first suicide bombing on March 22, 2016. And Starbucks?
The Starbucks logo is a 16th century Norse woodcut of a twin-tailed mermaid, or Siren.

The names and nationalities of those who have died in the Brussels attack are not completely known, yet. See here for more on those people.

Governor Robert Bentley and Rebekah Mason

On March 22, 2016, the Governor of Alabama was in full spin mode over his alleged affair with Rebekah Mason.

Spencer Collier 
The former Secretary of Alabama Law Enforcement said [on 3.22.16] that Gov. Robert Bentley owes the people of Alabama an explanation.
Spencer Collier, who was fired Tuesday, has come forward with claims that he knew of the governor's improper personal relationship with political adviser Rebekah Mason, and that Bentley refused to end the relationship even though it cost him his marriage to Diane Bentley. Source.
