11-11 Synchronicity: Cyber-Terror Attack Said to be Scheduled for Nov. 11th

2007-11-01T13:11:00.000-05:00

Another 11-11 synchronicity strikes as DEBKAfile is warning of "a special Internet announcement in Arabic, picked up DEBKAfile’s counter-terror sources, Osama bin Laden’s followers announced Monday, Oct. 29, the launching of Electronic Jihad. On Sunday, Nov. 11, al Qaeda’s electronic experts will start attacking Western, Jewish, Israeli, Muslim apostate and Shiite Web sites. On Day One, they will test their skills against 15 targeted sites expand the operation from day to day thereafter until hundreds of thousands of Islamist hackers are in action against untold numbers of anti-Muslim sites."

The current run of 11-11 synchronicities struck close to home following a conversation with Uri Geller about his new NBC TV show, "Phenomenon."

Although I previously stated that the 11-11 phenomenon appeared to come to an end, it reappeared following publication of my story "Uri Geller and the Mysterious 11-11 Phenomenon" for the American Chronicle.

11-11 has appeared in phone messages, receipts, video club notifications, email correspondence, and digital displays.

Uri Geller describes his own 11-11 experiences at his website.

Please respond by 11-11

2007-10-30T17:33:00.000-05:00

The 11-11 coincidences continue, following a phone conversation I had with Uri Geller.

It seems that every time I turn around, a new 11-11 coincidence is waiting to remind me that the human mind is designed to find what it is looking for.

The 11-11 phenomenon first came to my attention when Uri Geller called me about a story I wrote about him for The American Chronicle. In the 1970s the CIA was interested in studying Geller to learn the secret behind his psychic powers.

Since our conversation I have experienced numerous 11-11 coincidences. They arrive in subtle ways, like a sales receipt that "expires on 11-11-2007" or a request from a DVD club to "please respond by 11-11."

I apparently have achieved "11-11 status" in the "cosmic coincidence control center" that manages all of the weird synchroncities across the planet (I am also a proponent of many-worlds, where all that can happen does, somewhere in the multiverse -- so I am not surprised by amazing coincidences, merely impressed that I inhabit a universe where the unlikely is either randomly OR intelligently selected to appear to look non-random! )

I'll leave you with one FINAL thought ... consider this -- St. Malachy forecast the lineage of the Popes until the present Pope Benedict XVI (Joseph Ratzinger):

Malachy's final numbered Pope, number 111, "De Gloria Olivae (The glory of the olive)"

And after number 111?

In extreme persecution, the seat of the Holy Roman Church will be occupied by Peter the Roman, who will feed the sheep through many tribulations; when they are over, the city of seven hills will be destroyed, and the terrible or fearsome Judge will judge his people.

The End.

My son also experienced his own personal mystical numerical revelation. I present it here for your edification and entertainment:

That Other Phenomenon by Justin Bekkum

After recently reading Uri Geller’s stimulating article involving the phenomenon of 11:11, I have noticed a new and possibly more potent, time: 12:34.

I’ve encountered these numbers on clocks, but even more startling is hearing them every time someone counts out loud. Yes, this oddly sequential series of numbers is used whenever one wishes to count to any number greater than three.

The number four itself is quite odd. A quick examination yields that 2+2=4, 2*2=4, and yes, even is equivalent to four. Four is also the second square number and the second centered triangular number. Once again we are met with the two 2’s! But the four’s don’t end there. There are four cardinal directions, four seasons, four dimensions that we see, and four letters in the word four! Humans have four limbs, and are capable of counting to four on the phalanges of any of those limbs or even with the limbs themselves! Don’t even get me started on the Tetragrammaton or the Four Horsemen.

The mystery of 1234 further deepens when historical events occurring on 12/34 (a.k.a. 1/3 or January 3^rd) are examined. On January 3^rd there are 362 days remaining in the year. Six times two divided by three happens to equal four. And, not to forget leap years, in which 363 days remain, we find that the average of three plus six plus three is once again none other than four.
On top of all this are several important events that occurred on January 3^rd: the birth of Cicero (106 B.C.), the birth of J.R.R. Tolkien (1892), the discovery of Tutankhamen’s tomb (1924), Benito Mussolini declaring his takeover of Italy (1925). Perhaps most startling of all is the 1967 death of Jack Ruby, killer of Harvey Lee Oswald, the man many conspiracy theorists believe didn’t shoot JFK.

Sadly, the year 1234 yields much less spectacular results, although in the Holocene calendar it corresponds to the year 11234 (oh my, an 11 sighting!). A little more Googling digs up House Resolution 1234: To end US occupation of Iraq immediately. Is someone trying to tell us something here? Finally, and perhaps most compelling, is the fact that this editorial is made up of one, two, three, four paragraphs. Coincidence? I think not!

This editorial should not be taken seriously in any way, shape, or form. Furthermore, my goal is not to discredit Uri Geller’s article and ideas about 11:11. I myself have seen 11:11 at least twice since reading his article, and I am currently ambiguous as to whether or not such a phenomenon exists. This article is merely meant to be a short and amusing read.

Winter Solstice 2012: 11:11 Universal Time

2007-10-26T17:53:00.000-05:00

Thanks to Chris for pointing out the 11:11 Winter Solstice 2012 connection:

Hi Gary,

Have you received hundreds of messages from readers pointing out the fact that the winter solstice in the year 2012 is scheduled for 11:11am universal time?

Given the widespread prophetic concerns over 2012 from mystical, religious, environmental, and even astronomical traditions, your article does not make me feel any better!

Regards,

Chris

"They're back." More on Uri Geller's Mysterious "11-11"

2007-10-26T11:03:00.000-05:00

It appears that I wrote too soon when I ended my recent story about Uri Geller's numerical mystery:

"And that was the last I have seen of Uri Geller's mysterious "11-11."

"They're back."

When I started writing about the "11-11" incidents, they started showing up again.

Yesterday I sent a link to the new "11-11" story to Caryn Anscomb, who lives in the United Kingdom.

She wrote back: "I read this at 11:11pm...I kid you not!!!"

Last night my wife asked me to bring her something to drink from the Kitchen. I checked the Bedroom clock and saw that the time was 11:14PM. "Ah, safe then," I mused to myself.

When I entered the Kitchen guess what time was displayed on both the digital clock on the microwave and the stove? Yes, that's right: It was "11:11PM." For some reason both clocks were exactly three minutes behind.

This morning my son emailed me:

"I was sitting in bed two nights ago and I was wondering what time it was. I knew it was 11:11 but I also knew when I got enough strength to roll over and look at the clock it would be 11:12. I was right."

Twilight Zone theme, please!

fMRI Research Sheds New Light on Mental Attitude

2007-10-24T21:36:00.000-05:00

Here's one for all of the promoters of the power of positive thinking:

Neuroscientists have pinpointed the areas of the brain that help us to look on the bright side.

According to the article posted on line by Nature:

Imagining positive events in the future was accompanied by activity in two areas of the brain that usually regulate how emotion affects memory and decisions: the amygdala, buried deep within the brain, and the front portion of the anterior cingulate cortex (ACC), which sits just behind the eyes. Conversely, activation in both these areas dropped below average when the volunteers thought about future negative events.

fMRI researchers have also been looking into the detection of confabulation with the goal of a 21st century fMRI lie detector for use in the war on terror.

Senior Official Dies in Monkey Attack

Associated Press:

India official dies after monkey attack

Sun Oct 21, 10:28 AM ET

NEW DELHI - Wild monkeys attacked a senior government official who then fell from a balcony at his home and died Sunday, media reported.

New Delhi Deputy Mayor S.S. Bajwa was rushed to a hospital after the attack by a gang of Rhesus macaques, but succumbed to head injuries sustained in his fall, the Press Trust of India news agency and The Times of India reported.

Spontaneous Human Cognition?

2007-10-10T12:32:00.000-05:00

About a year ago I wrote a short piece inspired by STAR GATE, the U.S. Government's formerly secret research into psychic para-normality and information we were receiving about the latest research in fMRI.

One source familiar with both the old and new research told us, "I take the reality of telepathy (I love your construction better: 'direct mind-to-mind communication of meaning') as proven."

Although the information was sketchy, the implication was that a signal had been detected in the brain that appeared to correlate between different test subjects.

As late as 1994, STAR GATE researchers at SAIC -- Science Applications International Corporation -- one of the nations top defense contractors, were looking for possible carriers of signals that were assumed to the source of anomalous mental phenomena.

The use of 'telepathy' -- a speculative form of mind-to-mind 'radio transmission' -- has been of interest to the intelligence community for decades.

The question of how such a signal might propagate between brains has been the subject of speculation by alternative scientists, including those working on the problem for the government.

An early lead that originated with the FSU -- the Former Soviet Union -- involved speculative fields based on an extension of Einstein's theory of gravity, the so-called torsion or spin fields.

By the mid-1990s STAR GATE researchers were looking at alternative interpretations of electromagnetic fields, torsion spin fields, and other ideas without basis in experimental science.

Even if a mechanism for signal transmission remains unknown, any transmission-reception system would be expected to produce physical effects in the brain, which correlate to human perception. Spontaneous human cognition would presumably involve the appearance of real information in the mind without the use of ordinary perceptual channels or senses.

In other words, it would appear to involve extra-sensory-perceptions, or ESP.

Spontaneous effects in the brain are known to exist.

For example, A team of researchers at the Washington University led by Michael Fox found that fluctuations in brain activity caused volunteers to subconsciously exert slightly less physical force when pressing a button on cue.

As a result, the study concluded that the reason why even professional basketball and soccer players sometimes miss an easy shot may be partly explained by spontaneous fluctuations of electrical activity within the brain...

One might wonder if the 'telepathic channel' between players in competition might also interfere with "an easy shot."

Understanding the brain's role in anomalous mental phenomena (AMP) is not limited to the exotic cause and effect scenarios of paranormal phenomena.

The possibility exists that subtle conventional information channels exist, that superficially resemble mind-to-mind transmission, but are grounded in our existing understanding of physics and the emergent phenomena of human networks.

An electronic security system that identifies people by monitoring the unique pattern of electrical activity within their brain is being tested by European scientists.

Since an individual's brain activity is determined by the unique pattern of neural pathway in their brain, the same technique can be used for identification, says Dimitrios Tzovaras, who is the coordinator at the Centre for Research and Technology Hellas. "It could be a very good security control," he told New Scientist.

We suspect a similar program is underway here in the United States, and may also involve the search for correlations between different individuals.

On Her MAJESTIC Secret Service

2007-09-27T19:33:00.000-05:00

The British Ministry of Defence has responded to a Freedom of Information Request confirming that the MoD conducted psychic research shortly after the 9/11 terror attacks. According to the MoD, "A study was undertaken in 2001-2002 to investigate theories about capabilities to gather information remotely about what people may be seeing and to determine the potential value, if any, of such theories to Defence."

Sensitive information has been redacted from the original documents.

The revelation appears to confirm previous rumors of renewed interest in the use of psychic spies for intelligence collection, allegedly in response to the ever-increasing dangers of terrorism and weapons of mass destruction. One of the first reports telling of reactivation of the psychic spies was passed to author Jon Ronson for his book, "The Men Who Stare at Goats." Ronson interviewed Uri Geller, formerly an unwitting CIA test subject. Geller claims to have performed operational psychic spying at the request of the U.S. Government.

When questioned about the man in charge of the psychic spies, Geller identified a high-ranking Senior Intelligence Official, known to the readers of Ronson's book as "Ron."

An interesting conjecture coming from the confirmation of official MoD government interest in paranormal phenomenology is the possibility that government agents have infiltrated private organizations interested in paraphysical phenomena, such as remote reviewing and UFO's. At least three different sources confirmed to Starstream Research that a "government person" identified a party close to our investigation as an agent of the British Secret Intelligence Service, also widely known as MI-6. The affiliation with MI-6 has been denied, but the rumor suggests an effort to protect the connection between UFO rumors, such as the so-called MAJESTIC Group, and operational psychic spying. The available evidence hints at a cooperative effort between the United States and Great Britain.

Documentation of the MoD psychic spy research can be downloaded from the MoD public web site.
