I’m not entirely sure what I’ve stumbled across if I’m honest. Follow many different sources, some sensible and some that are absolutely crackers. Gotta sift muck to find nuggets!

The crackers side is talking about 17. Not sure why exactly, but they’re onto something. Just two off the top off my head. Energy cap £1717. Yachting knight loses watch in Barcelona worth £17k. Others are a little more hidden (818 for example). But there are lots out there and they keep coming.

Something I’ll be keeping half an eye on. Any one got anything about this?

"In 1979, President Jimmy Carter was giving a Cinco De Mayo speech in Los Angeles, and he had no idea that hidden in the crowd was an unemployed drifter with the eerily familiar name of Raymond Lee Harvey. Harvey was wielding a gun, but before the perpetrator could shoot, his suspicious demeanor caught the attention of Secret Service members, who arrested him on the spot.

Though Harvey was the one who got caught, it turned out he was just a small fish in the assassination ocean. According to Time, Harvey told the authorities that he was supposed to be one part of a four-man operation to kill Carter. Supposedly, Harvey’s role was simply to shoot loudly enough to cause a distraction, while his partner, Osvaldo — yes, the name similarities continue — finished the job with a sniper rifle. Charges against Raymond Lee Harvey were later dismissed due to lack of evidence."

I never know what to make of these things, in the “you couldn’t make it up category” - or nearly - so they fade by default.
I guess there are many possible coincidences that don’t happen, so we’re just seeing some random ones. Ormaybe there is somebody making them up.

Might change my view when I see the next one though :slightly_smiling_face:

Morning both,

I remember at the 911 memorial service a year up the road from the actual event, there was a film shot from above of the great and the good all solemnly filing into place around this circular thingy. When they’d all got into position it was very clear that although the round thingy was indeed round, these folks had formed into an elliptical shape around said thingy, so the whole thing was very clearly a very large eye.

Here’s another one of these “coincidences”. I toyed with the idea of putting it in the Trump “attempted assassination” thread but this is a bit on the daft side. Or maybe it isn’t?

Was Prouty reffering to a world that’s run like this? I’m still haunted by what he said:

“The Kennedy assassination has demonstrated that most of the major events of world significance are masterfully planned and orchestrated by an elite coterie of enormously powerful people who are not of one nation, one ethnic grouping, or one overridingly important business group. They are a power unto themselves for whom those others work. Neither is this power elite of recent origin. Its roots go deep into the past.” Fletcher Prouty (1992)
