222 Years Dead

Benjamin Franklin (January 17, 1706 – April 17, 1790) was one of the most important Founding Fathers of the United States. He was a leading author, political theorist, politician, printer, scientist, inventor, civic activist, and diplomat. As a scientist he was a major figure in the history of physics for his discoveries and theories regarding electricity. As a political writer and activist he, more than anyone, invented the idea of an American nation, and as a diplomat during the American Revolution, he secured the French alliance that helped to make independence possible.

Surreality 6 April 2012

Addendum:

Yes, I saw these- great imagery upon this 222 year anniversary of the death of Benjamin Franklin!

Surreality - 2012 April 6+

UN-usually Blue Skys- most blue sky April that I have seen in years.


King Juan Carlos, the subject of one of my April 1, 2012 articles, days later, falls and replaces his hip.

The fall occurred early Friday morning [April 6, 2012] in the chalet where the head of state was staying, said Angel Villamor, spokesman for San Jose hospital in Madrid where the king had his operation.

That same day, a Hornet, a type of fighter unveiled in 1978, crashes upon taking off in Virginia- and no one is killed!

Extremely intense sky show Monday, April 9, 2012 of dark black clouds being dissipated with immensely sunshine and sunlite clouds, like a transition from the blackest of feeling to the most positive- and this was in the late afternoon of a day filled with various outbreaks of fires, and particularly intense winds around quarter past 2 PM

Weird Weather - Tornadoes over Norman, OK

That day, the King's grandson shoots himself in the right foot.

It is not the best moment to be King of Spain. Juan Carlos' son-in-law Iñaki Urdangarin is being investigated for involvement in a massive corruption scheme; and his eldest grandson just shot himself in the foot — literally. On April 9, the 13-year-old Felipe (who is known to the public by his nickname Froilán), was finishing up target practice at his father's estate, when he accidentally fired a bullet into his right foot. Because Spanish law prohibits anyone under the age of 14 from operating a firearm, the Civil Guard has now opened an investigation into the event. "Without a doubt," says journalist Mábel Galaz, who covers the Spanish royal family for El País newspaper, "this is their annus horribilis" — a reference to Queen Elizabeth II's description of 1992, the year the marriages of three of her children (including that of Charles to Diana) were breaking up and Windsor Castle caught fire.

Who Aborted the South Capitol Mall- Best Guess
http://wwwsouthcapitolstreet.blogspot.com/2012/03/jesuit-order-backers-preference-farnese.html


South Capitol Mall
http://southmallblogger.blogspot.com/2012/04/south-capitol-mall.html

South Capitol Mall

Would Be Largest Addition to Monumental Core Washington D.C. Since McMillan and the Aborted East Mall

The Washington, D.C. “South Capitol Mall”. Though never formally named, it appeared front and center within and throughout U.S. National Capital Planning Commission (NCPC's) 1997 publication “Extending the Legacy: Planning America’s Capital for the 21st Century".






“Extending the Legacy” refers to extending that of Washington, D.C.'s Pierre L’Enfant and McMillan Commission Washington, D.C. planning, with the latter adopting a beaux arts 'city beautiful' mode incorporating and extending the linear green-way of the National Mall westward with a Reflecting Pool culminating in a Lincoln Memorial with traffic circle.

The 1990s USNCPC 'South Capitol Mall' concept of a new promenade extending due south from the U.S. Capitol building via a widened South Capitol Street corridor, was the largest addition to the monumental core of Washington D.C. since the 1924 West Mall with the Lincoln and the 1943 Jefferson Memorials, and a subsequent NCPC "East Capitol Mall" proposal from the 1920s into about the early 1960s.





Both the McMillan plan and the subsequent East Capitol Mall proposal were contemporaneously reported about by newspapers, particularly the former’s West Mall-Lincoln Memorial.

East Capitol Mall

The 1990s “Extending the Legacy” South Capitol Mall to the contrary was strangely under-reported, a process of being masked by being mis-described via the notably vague yet consistent terminology rather as a "gateway" and "boulevard".

This would be universal throughout the MSM ‘reporting’, but also with the various ‘environmentalist’ organizations, all following such a consistently selective use of terminology to NOT inform about the proposal for the new linear park along the South Capitol axis.

Such a uniformity of focus and lexicon -- for such a signature proposal -- defied any reasonable expectation of the odds, of say any of the past such proposals being so under-reported.

It was as if a giant ‘magnet’ controlled these entities in their selections of words and actions, to obscure the issue for the preferences of their hidden master[s]. Something with its tentacles throughout the U.S. and other governments, the media, and the various private organizations.

2012 - April 1

South Capitol Street Frederick Douglass Mall
- Interview with King Juan Carlos on the South Mall cancellation as an indicator of Washington, D.C.’s political significance hidden in plain site

- "You have this pretty city, this beautiful Capitol and its nearby surrounding greens. It is centered on this rotunda upon a hill facing a solitary western mall. It has this unique street grid known as the “Enfant Plan”. That features not only North, South and East Capitol Streets, but also diagonals, particularly Maryland and Pennsylvania Avenues extending southwest and northwest respectively from this rotunda, the latter forming the Federal Triangle. The Place has some serious symbolism, yet most people in the U.S. have comparably little grasp of the situation".

Sure they see it as a place of corruption, yet as Their Democracy. They acknowledge vaguely a baleful political mass “inside the Beltway”, which they can vaguely attribute to greedy ambition, yet look no further as to its origins, and thus are continually mis-lead, by trusting institutions over truth. They figure that something must be true because it’s repeated so much through *established* mainstream media rather than actually making sense. But the have no idea why, for being taught that questioning the political dynamics flatteringly as “conspiracy theorist”, never-mind that “conspiracy” is a perfectly valid concept and statutorily defined offense which courts routinely sentence people for such conspiracies as say steering a person to a low level street contraband merchant for say a $40 bag of cocaine powder. But we are to be supposedly embarrassed for pondering conspiracies any larger- please? That’s the self-guilt out to get people to do nothing

They see the ogles and ogles of Grecho-Roman-Masonic architecture. Yet they fail to see the significance, assuming its is so for being pretty rather than blatantly representative of the continuing ancient regime.

Freedom of Medicine and Diet
About the Drug Policy - Covington and Burling Connection - An Interview By The Federal Triangle: About Appearances of Conflict of Interest with Covington & Burling’s pro-bono advisement relationship with drug policy reform organizations
- “As the attorney ‘assigned to take primary responsibility for advising the [Drug Policy] Foundation’ of this pro-bono program of this major food-tobacco-pharma industry law firm, I have an obligation to the public and to Covington & Burling to make myself available to answer questions regarding this pro bono relationship with the Drug Policy Foundation- now Drug Policy Alliance and other such organizations dedicated to reforming the laws regarding the now illicit drugs. Particularly at a time of this “Fast & Furious” controversy regarding a government program under U.S. Attorney General Eric Holder, to flood illicit gun markets in order to better arm the various drug gangs so they may shoot and kill more people, including U.S. border guards, and thereby continue and even escalate this drug war that was started in part by Covington & Burling’s co-founder, James Harry Covington, one time U.S. Congressman from the Maryland eastern shore. You see, Holder is from Covington & Burling, and so is his assistant AG Breuer. And Holder in particular, among his legal practices, represented some pharmaceutical companies- indeed as Covington is perhaps the largest legal representative of much of the pharmaceutical industry. Indeed, with the Controlled Substances Act granting so much power to the USAG, it can be said that the CSA thus so empowers a recent former Covington & Burling attorney who has represented big pharma- so likely guaranteeing a good show at some upcoming Congressional hearing on Fast & Furious.”
