Confronting the Unspeakable
The very last place that I could ever have imagined would be the almost daily destination for my morning commute would be lower Broadway, across from City Hall. Each morning when I emerge from the subway, this is the scene that greets me – the spire of St. Paul’s Chapel, flanked on the left by Building 7 and the North Tower of the World Trade Center. Even for those who turned away from this past September 11th’s cynical 20th anniversary ritual of mendacious remembering, every one of this glorious autumn’s many blue-skied days evokes a memory of that unleashing of the Unspeakable into all of our communities.
Out of the massive traumatic photographic and video scrapbook of the street level chaos on that halcyon-skied September day, the most arresting image of all is one taken about 20 paces from Unlimited Biking’s front door – my workplace in the gorgeous brick and terra cotta Potter Building. A hundred or more morning commuters are squeezed into the frame, the Manhattan Municipal Building looming faintly in the background. Every single face in the street is fixed skyward, their gazes trained on the cascading rubble of the South Tower. Most of their mouths are open, signifying stupefaction. It is an American scene, a democratic scene. A tall young black man in sports coat and tie is flanked by two Latino men in t-shirts and baseball caps, an Asian man in coat and tie between them. One can see the earrings and pert hair cut of a middle-aged white woman in office attire. The faces of the men and women fading away into the distance in front of the Potter Building seem a representative cross-section of the millions who keep the city working day after day, year after year.
That man’s face should be one of the elements for the Tarot card embodying the 3 ½ -year culmination period of 3 November 2020 to 8 April 2024. It should be a Janus-faced character, that 9/11 eyewitness’s face paired with an N-95 masked, mRNA-vaccinated, lockdown-isolated and hamstrung fellow “citizen of the globe.” For weeks before the election, on these and most of Manhattan’s very solidly blue blocks, one met masked up New Yorkers proudly sporting their “I VOTED” buttons and stickers. Not a single voter or non-voter Democrat or Republican or Independent took notice that the day before, November 2, 2020, marked the heliocentric conjunction of Jupiter and Saturn in sidereal Capricorn. The New York Times and other papers’ attention was on the geocentric conjunction taking place seven weeks later, on the winter solstice, obscuring the fact that the period from November 3, 2020 until the next total American solar eclipse on April 8, 2024 is 1254 days – only 24 days less than 3 ½-years, the very duration (“forty and two months”) that Chapter 13: Verse 5 in Revelation reveals as the period of the “rule of the Beast.” Thinking of my friend Robert Powell’s discovery that the ministry of Christ Jesus from the Baptism to the Resurrection lasted 1290 days – 12 days longer than the 3 ½-year “rule of the Beast” period – this great eclipse-bounded moment in which we now live takes on a shattering significance.
Robert has been witnessing weekly for over a year now on the great crisis of civilization facing humanity. If the coming Thanksgiving week affords you a few hours break from your morning commute or other obligations, you would do well to listen to his last (53A/B) – or any other – podcast testament at this site.
Robert’s insights are a necessary and welcome complement to two extraordinary deeds of truth–telling available to us now, both of which courageously call out the “Unspeakable.” Robert Merton’s term for soul – shattering Evil is taken as the title for Dylan Avery’s new documentary:
Confronting the Unspeakable has been the unrelenting task of Robert F. Kennedy Jr., and his new book, The Real Anthony Fauci: Bill Gates, Big Pharma, and the Global War on Democracy and Public Health will help anyone to see the relationship between the evil of 9/11 and the current implementation of medical totalitarianism. You can listen to RFK, Jr. speak about his extraordinary book, in conversation with journalist James Corbett, here.
