No doubt the most patriotic of all American holidays is Independence Day, aka the Fourth of July. Lots of fireworks and barbecues. It was the day the Declaration of Independence was signed in 1776, hence creating the USA.
Most people don’t realize that the Fourth of July is also a National Synchro Day. Here’s why.
One of the founding fathers and second President of the United States, John Adams, died on July 4, 1826. That was 50 years to the day after America was born. Just before PresidentAdams died, he muttered, “Thomas Jefferson survives.” The two elder statesman had regularly corresponded with each other in their twilight years.
However, Adams didn’t know that Jefferson, the third president, actually had died a few hours earlier, also on July 4.
What are the chances that two presidents would die on Independence Day? Before making any calculations, the story isn’t over. The fifth President, James Monroe, also died on July 4 of 1831. So, three of the first five commanders-in-chiefs died on Independence Day.
Clearly, early America was shrouded in mysticism that spanned from the mysterious Freemason pyramid with the eye on the back to one-dollar bill to the mystical elements of architecture of Washington D.C. to the deaths of those three presidents on Independence Day.
It’s the same here, guys. Atrocities toward indigenous Australians are unfortunately part of this countries personality as well.
Odd about the presidents.
No fireworks here. I’m sure there are hundreds of thousands of folks who disagree with me, including many within my own immediate family. I have no argument with that, or with them. Our ancestors came here and took this country from Native Americans, killing them and putting them into unihabitable conditions. Yeah, we’re great heroes, all right. I feel deep sorrow for the souls who choose to die in the military. I honor their souls, respect their rights to choose, and hurt for the families who grieve their losses, but I do not honor, support, or respect the work of war and killing that they do. There has to be a better way. There has to be. So, again, no foreworks or celebrations here. Guess to some, this makes me a non-patriot. I love this country, but don’t like its “personality”.
Don’t like its personality: that’s it in a nutshell, isn’t it?
gee – what an amazing story – one i’d not heard that i can remember! incredible synchronicity – while this is not totally on-point, but because there has been some discussion among several of my twitter friends this morning, i just want to say that i do not “celebrate” the 4th of july in the manner that it is accepted by most – for my own personal/political reasons – mainly to do with the basis/manner in which this country “founded itself” and my objections to those and to the true concept of independence for “all” and the still remaining lack of it for “all” – anyway, don’t mean to make a grand stand here – just felt compelled to wonder aloud if anyone else feels the same way – but regardless, i do –
and how sad a commentary of the fox news thing – and its twitter feed announcing the death of president obama today – not much mysticism there –
great post, macgregors – and thank you for allowing my little voice to be heard here –
I know what you mean about the 4th. No fireworks here!
Didn’t realise a third President died on July 4th. There does seem to be a lot of mysticism in Washington (and it made Dan Brown another fortune). Enjoy your National Synchro day!
Another fortune, indeed, for brown!
