    Should you read this book? If you think it is interesting that on September 11, 2001, Flight 77 reportedly hit the 77 foot tall Pentagon, in Washington D.C. on the 77th Meridian West, after taking off at 8:20 AM and crashing at 9:37 AM, 77 minutes later, then this book is for you. Furthermore, if you can comprehend that there is a code of numbers behind the letters of the English language, as simple as A, B, C is 1, 2, 3, and using this code reveals that phrases and names such as ‘September Eleventh’, ‘World Trade Center’ and ‘Order From Chaos’ equate to 77, this book is definitely for you. And please know, these are all facts, just the same as it is a fact that Pentagon construction began September 11, 1941, just prior to Pearl Harbor.

  • The Catalina Triangle — Magnificence & Mystery Meet Mayhem & Murder Most Foul Off the Souther California Coast
    THE CATALINA TRIANGLE — MAGNIFICENCE & MYSTERY MEET MAYHEM & MURDER MOST FOUL OFF THE SOUTHER CALIFORNIA COAST Dedicated to the many men and women who have lost their lives in the Catalina Triangle by Ned Madden, San Clemente, Calif. – 2017 * * * “…The lure of the sea is some strange magic that makes men love what they fear. Death on the shifting barren sands seems less insupportable to the imagination than death out on the boundless ocean, in the awful, windy emptiness. Man's bones yearn for dust.” — Zane Grey "If a life is taken close to the 33rd Parallel North, this fits with the Masons’ demonic mythology in which they demonstrate their worldly power by spilling human blood at a predetermined locale." — "Masons and Mystery at the Parallel" by Day Williams (Anti-Freemason Christian writer) A bee on a balloon and a kite on the moon … The Catalina Triangle … a 1,200-square-mile pie-slice-shaped wedge of Pacific Ocean off the OC coast in between Dana Point, Santa Catalina and San Clemente islands … works in mysterious ways, and, yeh, I did once look up to glimpse that very real and singular close-bee- balloon/far-kite-moon visual floating before my eyes as I walked along the Capo Beach strand. No surprise. I’ve come to expect Catalina Triangle strangeness – like the Avalon “sleepkiller,” the 33rd Parallel/“Bloodline of the Earth” link, Natalie Wood and Phil Hartman, St. John Capistrano: “Scourge of the Jews,” sado-masochistic padres and blood-soaked natives, ghosts and pirates, a 30-kiloton nuke, mountain ranges spun sideways, sinking islands and northwest- trending fault epicentrum, Borderland and Bight, Gyre and eddy, countercurrent and undercurrent, earthquake and tsunami, moonscape sea craters and underwater knoll oases, Navy SEALs’ bin Laden-killing fake city, a real building made of human bones, largest animal (with the largest penis, a ten-footer) ever to draw breath and spout water vapor (the animal, not the organ) in the long sweep of phallic time on Mother Earth herself … beginning-of-life stuff.

  • List of International Boundary Lines | GK Notes in PDF
    List of International Boundary Lines | GK Notes in PDF Radcliffe Line Radcliffe Line was drawn by Sir Radcliffe. It marked the boundary between India and Pakistan. The Radcliffe Line was officially announced on August 17, 1947, a few days after the independence of India and Pakistan. The newly demarcated borders resulted into one of the biggest human migrations in modern history, with roughly 14 million people displaced. More than one million people were killed. The Maginot Line The Maginot Line named after the French Minister of War André Maginot, was a line of concrete fortifications, obstacles, and weapon installations built by France in the 1930s to deter invasion by Germany. The Mannerheim Line The Mannerheim Line was a defensive fortification line on the Karelian Isthmus built by Finland against the Soviet Union. The line was constructed in two phases: 1920–1924 and 1932–1939. By November 1939, when the Winter War began, the line was by no means complete The Medicine Line The medicine line, a hundred-mile stretch of the U.S. Canadian border at the top of Blaine County, Montana, epitomizes borderlessness . Natives called the border between Canada and the United States the Medicine Line, because during the 19th century Indian wars American troops respected it as if by magic. A century later, the medicine line deserves our respect for many different reasons: the history of peaceful coexistence it represents, and the model it offers for the future. The Hindenburg Line The Hindenburg Line is the boundary dividing Germany and Poland. The Hindenburg Line was a German defensive position of World War I, built during the winter of 1916–1917 on the Western Front, from Arras to Laffaux, near Soissons on the Aisne.

Where are we? Geographers answer that question in two ways. They identify location in either absolute or relative terms. Absolute location refers to a specific spot on planet Earth. For example, Shreveport’s new convention cen- ter is at 400 Caddo Street in Shreveport. Relative location explains where a place is in relation to another place or places. For example, the Shreveport Convention Center is at the intersection of Caddo and Marshall Streets in down- town Shreveport.
