ADDRESS BEFORE THE GENERAL ASSEMBLY OF THE UNITED NATIONS, SEPTEMBER 25, 1961

To this end, we shall urge proposals extending the United Nations Charter to the limits of man's exploration of the universe, reserving outer space for peaceful use, prohibiting weapons of mass destruction in space or on celestial bodies, and opening the mysteries and benefits of space to every nation. We shall propose further cooperative efforts between all nations in weather prediction and eventually in weather control. We shall propose, finally, a global system of communications satellites linking the whole world in telegraph and telephone and radio and television. The day need not be far away when such a system will televise the proceedings of this body to every corner of the world for the benefit of peace.

Category 1 hurricane
1-minute sustained (SSHWS/NWS)
Highest winds 75 mph (120 km/h)

Fatalities 45–93 direct
Damage $2 million (1939 USD)
Areas affected Southern California, northwestern Mexico
Part of the 1939 Pacific hurricane season
The 1939 California tropical storm, also known as the 1939 Long Beach tropical storm, and El Cordonazo, was a tropical cyclone that affected Southern California in September 1939. Formerly a hurricane, it was the only tropical storm to make landfall in California in the 20th century. Fisherman in the villages along the Mexican coast have named these storms the Lash of St. Francis. The only other known tropical cyclone to directly affect California at tropical storm intensity or higher is the 1858 San Diego hurricane (though it did not make landfall), and only three other eastern Pacific tropical cyclones have produced gale-force winds in the continental United States. The tropical storm caused heavy flooding, leaving many dead, mostly at sea.

I have been reading and writing about The Catcher in the Rye for almost ten years. I just came across the phrase Hypertext Fiction, which is what kind of writing I believe The Catcher in the Rye is imbued with. The story can be read in more than one way. It creates a rich experience for the reader but it could also allow the author to cloak meaning in a text with out being condemn for not following, and thus be censored. I am saying that that is what I believe J.D. Salinger did to be able to express his truth of World War and World War 2, in particular.

https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hyper...
Hypertext fiction is a genre of electronic literature, characterized by the use of hypertext links that provide a new context for non-linearity in literature and reader interaction. The reader typically chooses links to move from one node of text to the next, and in this fashion arranges a story from a deeper pool of potential stories. Its spirit can also be seen in interactive fiction.
Hypertext:
The term can also be used to describe traditionally-published books in which a nonlinear narrative and interactive narrative is achieved through internal references. James Joyce's Ulysses (1922), Enrique Jardiel Poncela's La Tournée de Dios (1932), Jorge Luis Borges' The Garden of Forking Paths (1941), Vladimir Nabokov's Pale Fire (1962), Julio Cortázar's Rayuela (1963; translated as Hopscotch), and Italo Calvino's The Castle of Crossed Destinies (1973) are early examples predating the word "hypertext", while a common pop-culture example is the Choose Your Own Adventure series in young adult fiction and other similar gamebooks. The Garden of Forking Paths (1941) is both a hypertext story and is sometimes used as a description of having different possible paths.

There is little consensus on the definition of hypertext literature.[1] The similar term cybertext is often used interchangeably with hypertext.[2] In hypertext fiction, the reader assumes a significant role in the creation of the narrative. Each user obtains a different outcome based on the choices they make. Cybertexts may be equated to the transition between a linear piece of literature, such as a novel, and a game. In a novel the reader has no choice, the plot and the characters are all chosen by the author, there is no 'user,' just a 'reader,' this is important because it entails that the person working their way through the novel is not an active participant. In a game, the person makes decisions and decides what actions to take, what punches to punch, or when to jump.

To Espen Aarseth, cybertext is not a genre in itself; in order to classify traditions, literary genres and aesthetic value, texts should be examined at a more local level.[3] To Aarseth, hypertext fiction is a kind of ergodic literature:

In ergodic literature, nontrivial effort is required to allow the reader to traverse the text. If ergodic literature is to make sense as a concept, there must also be nonergodic literature, where the effort to traverse the text is trivial, with no extranoematic responsibilities placed on the reader except (for example) eye movement and the periodic or arbitrary turning of pages.[citation needed]

To Aarseth, the process of reading immersive narrative, in contrast, involves "trivial" effort, that is, merely moving one's eyes along lines of text and turning pages; the text does not resist the reader.

Hypertext fiction is characterized by networked nodes of text making up a fictional story. There are often several options in each node that directs where the reader can go next. Unlike traditional fiction, the reader is not constrained by reading the fiction from start to end, depending on the choices they make. In this sense, it is similar to an encyclopaedia, with the reader reading a node and then choosing a link to follow. While this can be done more easily on paper, it is quite a different experience on a screen. The reader can be thrown into unpredictable loops because not all of the links are explained by their title. The fiction can contain text, quotes, and images.

There are different forms that hypertext fiction can take. These forms are axial, arborescent, and networked. Axial hypertext fictions have a central story line with links that branch off and return to the central storyline. Arborescent fictions branch into mutually exclusive story lines, and networked fictions have multiple starting points and do not always have a set ending. A single work of hypertext fiction can have a mixture of these three forms.

Number Games: 9/11 to Coronavirus Zachary K. Hubbard

To better understand the relevance of the number 201 to the Jesuit Order, we must rewind the hands of time to July 21, 1773, when Pope Clement XIV, the leader of the Catholic Church, suppressed the Jesuits. Before we get to the meaning of the number 201, just take a moment to think- the Jesuits were so bad, they were stopped by the institution they operated on behalf of, because simply put, Pope Clement XIV could no longer tolerate the circulating rumors of Jesuit crime, corruption and conspiracy. It couldn’t be more telling, could it? As they say, some things never change. Anyhow, after their banning, Catherine the Great of Russia came to their rescue, protecting the 201 Jesuits in her nation that she had acquired through the First Partition of Poland in 1772, so that the activities of the organization could go forward, despite the wishes of the Pope, and they did. And something to ponder is the Pope suppressed them on the 202nd day of the year, after the completion of the 201st day, July 20th. Another thing to ponder is that ‘The Jesuit Order’ sums to 177 with Simple English, and 201 with Reverse Simple, and Catherine the Great’s husband was assassinated a decade earlier, on July 17, 1762, a date that can be expressed as 17/7, not unlike 177, in what is still an unsolved mystery. Relating to this fact is that on July 17, 2020, the 258 year anniversary of his assassination, a distance in time corresponding with the gematria of ‘number of the beast’, Cardinal Zenon Grocholewski of Poland was found dead. There can be little doubt this was a ritual, because the title ‘Cardinal Zenon Grocholewski’ equates to 281, and he died on his 281st day of his age, having been born October 11, 1939, the year World War II began when Hitler invaded Poland. Of course, that invasion came on September 1st, and then two days later, on 9/3, or 3/9, in ‘39, Britain and France declared war on Germany. In light of the date, let us not forget that ‘Great War’ sums to 39 with Pythagorean, and World War II was a continuation of the Great War, also known as World War I. For another, ‘Art of War’, the Jesuit translated text, sums to 39 with Pythagorean, whereas ‘art’ alone equates to 39 with Simple English. Let us also not forget the significance of 93. Furthermore, with regards to Grocholewski dying on his 281st day of his age, that is the 60th prime number, and the word ‘order’ equates to 60 with Simple English, meaning he was a perfect ritual sacrifice for the Jesuit ‘Order’, and likely paying tribute to their history of being saved by Catherine, and through Poland, where he was a Cardinal.

Hubbard, Zachary K.. Number Games: 9/11 to Coronavirus (pp. 90-91). BookBaby. Kindle Edition.

Thought that I would check out the book Number Games by Zachary K. Hubbard. He has a YouTube channel Gematria Effect News 22, Gematria Effect News 24, Gematria Effect News 25 and Gematria Effect Sports

So I decided to see if 39 had any significance in Gematria lately or any information that I didn't know that would add to this topic. Remember that the mirror image of 39 is 93.

"In George Floyd's memory, the name Martin Luther King Jr. is being invoked, who was of course, assassinated in 1968, at the age of 39, not unlike how 'George' or 'Gemini' both sum to 39 in Pythagorean Gematria, and George was killed in one of the Twin Cities (my note; making me think of the twin towers) Minneapolis, in the time of Gemini, the Twins Cities is on the 93rd Meridian West. Both 'Minneapolis, Minnesota' and 'Martin Luther King Jr.' sum to 93 in Pythagorean, Similiar to how 'Malcolm X' sums to 93 with Simple English, and the two civil rights leaders only met once in history, March 26, 1964, a date with 93 numerology. Like King, Malcom X was also killed at 39, on a date with 44 numerology, February 21, 1965, by an assassin 'Thomas Hagan' whose name sums to 44 with Pythagorean and who received 44 years in prison to match MLK's 4/4 expiration, connection James Ear Ray, the accused killer of MLK, who died April 23, 1998, 44 days after his 70th birthday on March 10th.

I looked up John O'Hara. That was the name of the character who volunteered to be infected with yellow fever. In reality his name was John Kissinger. The following is a short history of his experiences.

Quote from The Catcher in the Rye

All I need's an audience. I'm an exhibitionist. "I'm the
goddarn Governor's son," I said. I was knocking myself out. Tap-dancing all over the
place. "He doesn't want me to be a tap dancer. He wants me to go to Oxford. But it's in my goddam blood, tap-dancing." Old Stradlater laughed. He didn't have too bad a sense of humor. "It's the opening night of the Ziegfeld Follies." I was getting out of breath. I have hardly any wind at all. "The leading man can't go on. He's drunk as a bastard. So who do they get to take his place? Me, that's who. The little ole goddam Governor's son."

The Great Ziegfeld is a 1936 American musical drama.

MGM made two more Ziegfeld films – one titled Ziegfeld Girl (1941), starring James Stewart, Judy Garland, Hedy Lamarr and Lana Turner, which recycled some footage from The Great Ziegfeld.

James Stewart
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/James_S...

Stewart was convinced to continue acting when he was cast in the lead role of Yellow Jack, playing a soldier who becomes the subject of a yellow fever experiment.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Yellow_...

Synopsis:
After the Spanish–American War, in which more U. S. soldiers were killed by yellow fever (known as Yellow Jack) than in battle, the War Department sent a medical commission to Cuba to find, if possible, the cause and cure of this deadly tropical disease. The commission was headed by Dr. Walter Reed. With him was Dr. James Carroll. In Cuba they found Dr. Jesse Lazear, European-trained microbiologist, and Cuban Dr. Aristides Agramonte.

Limited in its experiments by the fact that animals are immune to Yellow Jack and embroiled in government interference, Reed decides that the only way to test the theory is to expose his own men to the disease. O'Hara volunteers to allow Dr. Reed to experiment on him.

History of Yellow Fever:
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/History...

At least 25 major outbreaks followed in North America, such as in 1793 in Philadelphia, where several thousand people died, more than nine percent of the total population. The American government, including George Washington, had to flee the city, which was the capital of the United States at the time.

https://repository.library.georgetown...

From 1793 to 1805, yellow fever scourged the major port cities of the United States, devastating inhabitants in a series of terrifying epidemics.... Natural philosophers sought to determine the cause of yellow fever, the most pressing and contentious natural philosophical problem of early republican period. It centers on the controversy that developed between "contagionists" --those who believed that yellow fever was a contagious disease and that Americans imported it from the West Indies--and the "localists" --those who held that the disease arose from pestilential miasmas, situated within the afflicted cities.

Definition of contagionist
: one who believes in the contagiousness of certain diseases before proof is available

Definition of localist
1: one that is strongly or unduly concerned with purely local matters
2: one that attributes the origin of disease to local causes

Getting the Ax Chapter 1


So I got the ax. They give guys the ax quite frequently at Pencey. It has a very good academic rating, Pencey. It really does.

Since I talked about money in the last message I thought I would just continue with this one.

There is another place where Holden talks about it being hard to turn around on a dime.

So I thought that was an interesting idiom that needed to be investigated. As a result I discovered what the Ax was about.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mercury...

Note that it was in circulation during the war years.

The Mercury dime is a ten-cent coin struck by the United States Mint from late 1916 to 1945. Designed by Adolph Weinman and also referred to as the Winged Liberty Head dime,
it gained its common name because the obverse depiction of a young Liberty, identifiable by her winged Phrygian cap, was confused with the Roman god Mercury.

Kinda interesting after seeing the way they can make Jackson's face change on the 20 dollar bill (see message 55). Maybe these designs and confusions are done of purpose as a inside joke...but not really very funny joke.

The AX

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fasces

" The coin's reverse depicts a fasces, symbolizing unity and strength, and an olive branch, signifying peace."



Ancient Rome
https://www.mikeanderson.biz/2009/03/...
Fasces were also adopted by the United States as an important symbol of power. They are displayed in the House of Representatives, Oval Office (no axe), on the Seal of the United States, on the Supreme Court Building, and under the hands of Lincoln in his memorial (no axe).

Was the US to be the Military Arm of the United Nations?

I came across an article about Penny Universities as they were called. It reminded me of the kind of connections made at an Ivy League School.

https://www.historic-uk.com/CultureUK...

"The London Stock Exchange had its beginnings in Jonathan’s Coffee House in 1698 where gentlemen met to set stock and commodity prices. Auctions in salesrooms attached to coffee houses were the beginnings of the great auction houses of Sotheby’s and Christies. Lloyd’s of London had its origins in Lloyds Coffee House on Lombard Street, run by Edward Lloyd, where merchants, shippers and underwriters of ship insurance met to do business."

"By 1739, there were over 550 coffeehouses in London. However the coffee house fell out of favour towards the end of the 18th century as the new fashion for tea replaced coffee. They gave way to, and largely influenced, the exclusive gentleman’s club of the late 18th century."

We have not said, ‘Hey, let's shut down the economy to address the fact that we have skyrocketing obesity taking place, skyrocketing diabetes,” Ayyadurai says. “So, the level of contradiction, the level of hypocrisy should wake up everyone to understand that there is another agenda.

There is another agenda afoot. I repeat what my mentor said: ‘When things don't add up, take a step back and ask, what is the other agenda?’ And the only thing in a common-sense way that reveals itself to me is power, profit and control. Power, profit and control.”

The Power, Profit and Control Agenda

Like Ayyadurai, I believe the fearmongering is being used to suppress dissent, to crash the economy and to issue medical mandates. “If you look broadly, there were massive uprisings, antiestablishment uprisings [in different countries]. Well, they're all gone now. We don't even hear anything about them,” Ayyadurai says.

He also believes this fearmongering and social isolation mandates will be used as a way to acclimatize people to accept state wants or what a few people deem is good for everyone. “That, I think, is the milieu being set up,” he says. “That's being teed up.” Indeed, it simply doesn’t add up when you look at mortality rates.

“There's another agenda,” Ayyadurai says. “That's what I see, because it doesn't make any rational sense [to crash the economy over COVID-19]. I think that's why a number of the videos, the tweets I've done have gone viral, because to everyday working people, it doesn't make sense either. They're trying to sort this out.”

I found another reference to a museum in The Mayor of Casterbridge by Thomas Hardy. Thomas Hardy was one if the authors mentioned in the Catcher in the Rye in the reference to The Return of the Native. It was an author that Holden liked.

In The Mayor of Casterbridge there is a scene where Luccetta tells Elizabeth-Jane to go to the Museum.

"Here she enumerated several commissions at sundry shops, which would occupy Elizabeth's time for the next hour or two, at least. "And have you ever seen the Museum?" Elizabeth-Jane had not. "Then you should do so at once. You can finish the morning by going there. It is an old house in a back street—I forget where—but you'll find out—and there are crowds of interesting things—skeletons, teeth, old pots and pans, ancient boots and shoes, birds' eggs—all charmingly instructive. You'll be sure to stay till you get quite hungry."

The Mayor of Casterbridge is a political allegory. Most people do not go to the library to look at these items specifically. So as a group of items what do they tell you?

Holden it's sneaking into his house when he makes a comment about his mother. He says that his mother could hear a polish person sneeze. I will find out and give the exact quote:

"3) A major with the Nazi SS admitted at the Nuremberg trials that – under orders from the chief of the Gestapo – he and some other Nazi operatives faked several attacks on their own people and resources which they blamed on the Poles, to justify the invasion of Poland. The staged attacks included:

The German radio station at Gleiwitz [details below]
The strategic railway at Jabłonków Pass, located on the border between Poland and Czechoslovakia
The German customs station at Hochlinden
The forest service station in Pitschen
The communications station at Neubersteich
The railroad station in Alt-Eiche
A woman and her companion in Katowice
The details of the Gleiwitz radio station incident include:

On the night of 31 August 1939, a small group of German operatives dressed in Polish uniforms and led by Naujocks seized the Gleiwitz station and broadcast a short anti-German message in Polish (sources vary on the content of the message). The Germans' goal was to make the attack and the broadcast look like the work of anti-German Polish saboteurs.

To make the attack seem more convincing, the Germans used human corpses to pass them off as Polish attackers. They murdered Franciszek Honiok, a 43-year-old unmarried German Silesian Catholic farmer known for sympathizing with the Poles. He had been arrested the previous day by the Gestapo. He was dressed to look like a saboteur, then killed by lethal injection, given gunshot wounds, and left dead at the scene so that he appeared to have been killed while attacking the station. His corpse was subsequently presented to the police and press as proof of the attack."

How did GM get started?

https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gener...

It was originally founded by William C. Durant on September 16, 1908 as a holding company.

What Is a Holding Company?

A holding company is a parent corporation, limited liability company, or limited partnership that owns enough voting stock in another company, that it can control that company's policies and oversee its management decisions.


Although a holding company owns the assets of other companies, it merely maintains oversight capacities and therefore does not actively participate in running a business's day-to-day operations.

Holding Company

Understanding Holding Companies
A holding company exists for the sole purpose of controlling other companies, whether they be other corporations, limited partnerships or limited liability companies. note they made the company lose money and bought it cheap in 1931).Holding companies may also own property, such as real estate, patents, trademarks, stocks, and other assets.

Businesses that are 100% owned by a holding company are referred to as "wholly owned subsidiaries." Although a holding company can hire and fire managers of companies it owns, those managers are ultimately responsible for their own operations. It is thus crucial for owners to keep a sharp eye on its businesses to make sure they are running optimally.

https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Willi...
Does not mention anything about Australia or the Holden company even though the bought it in 1931.

It was originally founded by William C. Durant on September 16, 1908 as a holding company. The company is the largest American automobile manufacturer, and one of the world's largest.[7]

Perhaps because:
"In Australia, GM has been represented by the Holden brand since 1948."

Hmmm. They didn't make Holden cars till five years after the war. It takes time to retool a factory....for war...and back to a car plant. Good reason to over produce before the war. Then have a depression so that under that veil of lack of supply and demand you can build a ammunition plant. Then while the men are at war there is magically work in a ammunition plant already tooled to build war machines.

Always wondered about that.

FIRST SENTENCE:

If you really want to hear about it, the first thing you'll probably want to know is where I was born, an what my lousy childhood was like, and how my parents were occupied and all before they had me, and all that David Copperfield kind of crap, but I don't feel like going into it, if you want to know the truth.

"If you really want to hear about it" is echoed again in "if you want to know the truth." I believe Salinger wants to tell the truth about WW2 but he has a hard time getting anyone to listen to the truth. We all have a version of something that we "believe" and very often we "need" that story.

Where was Holden born?
https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Holden
"Holden, formerly known as General Motors-Holden"
"In 1908 it moved into the automotive field, becoming a subsidiary of the United States-based General Motors (GM) in 1931, when the company was renamed General Motors-Holden's Ltd. "

Note the dates! Both when GM became a subsidiary and when it became owner. MANY years before the start of WW1 and again WW2. It takes time to tool up a ammunition factory to make things for the war.

The Great Depression led to a substantial downturn in production by Holden, from 34,000 units annually in 1930 to just 1,651 units one year later.[12] In 1931 General Motors purchased Holden Motor Body Builders and merged it with General Motors (Australia) Pty Ltd to form General Motors-Holden's Ltd (GM-H)
