GERONIMO!

Did you ever do the "Geronimo" jump? When we were kids and performing a "do or die" jump into the water, off a garage roof, or any other action requiring a "leap of faith," we hollered "Geronimo" as we went airborne. Apparently, the relations of the great Indian warrior known as "Geronimo" are in a situation that requires some help. So, all together now ... let's put our feet together, click our heels 3 times like Dorothy of Oz, and jump onto the Weird Wagon:

By STEPHANIE REITZ, Associated Press Writer Stephanie Reitz, Associated Press Writer – Wed Feb 18, 5:36 pm ET AFP/File HARTFORD, Conn.
– Geronimo's descendants have sued Skull and Bones — the secret society at Yale University linked to presidents and other powerful figures —claiming that its members stole the remains of the legendary Apache leader decades ago and have kept them ever since. The federal lawsuit filed in Washington on Tuesday — the 100th anniversary of Geronimo's death — also names the university and the federal government.
Geronimo's great-grandson Harlyn Geronimo said his family believes Skull and Bones members took some of the remains in 1918 from a burial plot in Fort Sill, Okla., to keep in its New Haven clubhouse, a crypt. The alleged graverobbing is a longstanding legend that gained some validity in recent years with the discovery of a letter from a club member that described the theft.


"I believe strongly from my heart that his spirit was never released," Harlyn Geronimo said.

Both Presidents Bush, Massachusetts Sen. John Kerry and many others in powerful government and industry positions are members of the society, which is not affiliated with the university.

After years of famously fighting the U.S. and Mexican armies, Geronimo and 35 warriors surrendered to Gen. Nelson A. Miles near the Arizona-New Mexico border in 1886. Geronimo was eventually sent to Fort Sill and died at the Army outpost of pneumonia in 1909. According to lore, members of Skull and Bones — including former President George W. Bush's grandfather, Prescott Bush — dug up his grave when a group of Army volunteers from Yale were stationed at the fort during World War I, taking his skull and some of his bones.

Harlyn Geronimo, 61, wants those remains and any held by the federal government turned over to the family so they can be reburied near the Indian leader's birthplace in southern New Mexico's Gila Wilderness.
"I want them to understand we mean business," said Harlyn Geronimo, who lives in New Mexico. "We're very serious. We're tired of waiting and we're coming after them."


Neither members of Skull and Bones, who closely guard their secrecy, nor the Russell Trust Association, the organization's business arm for tax purposes, could not be reached for comment.

Membership into Skull and Bones marks the elite of the elite at the Ivy League school. Only 15 Yale seniors are asked to join each year. Members swear an oath of secrecy about the group and its strange rituals, which include devotion to the number "322" and initiation rites such as confessing sexual secrets and kissing a skull. The atmosphere makes Skull and Bones favorite fodder for conspiracy theorists.

Its most enduring story is the one concerning Geronimo's remains, and in 2005, Yale historian Marc Wortman discovered a letter written in 1918 from one Skull and Bones member to another that seemed to lend validity to the tale. The letter, sent to F. Trubee Davison by Winter Mead, said Geronimo's skull and other remains were taken from the leader's burial site, along with several pieces of tack for a horse. "The skull of the worthy Geronimo the Terrible, exhumed from its tomb at Fort Sill by your club and Knight Haffuer, is now safe inside the T —together with is well worn femurs, bit and saddle horn," Mead wrote.

Geronimo's descendants say in their lawsuit that they want to uncover any information that people know, but have been keeping to themselves. "To assure that all existing remains of Geronimo and funerary objects are recovered by Geronimo's linear descendants, the Order of Skull and Bones and Yale University must account for any such articles that are or have been in their possession, or on their property, and persons with knowledge must provide any facts known to them concerning the claims," the descendants' lawsuit says.

HARLYN GERONIMO, Great-Grandson of *the* Geronimo (quote from an interview with John LeKay (JL) in Heyoka Magazine):

JL: I understand that to desecrate the remains of someone like this, a medicine man, is very bad luck. It can have very negative consequences for the person. Is that true?

Harlyn Geronimo; That's true. Part of it. The spirits are awake and that can be very detrimental.

JL: Is it true that in order to give the spirits rest, they have to make peace and put the remains back in the right place. Is that correct?

Harlyn Geronimo: Yes, also you know, it takes spirituality, through prayers. That's how you revitalize the spirits and when you do that, you know, that gets very, very, very, serious. That's when, you know somebody is going to get hurt. You know, my great grandmother Kate Geronimo, the wife of Geronimo. When I was growing up, here in Mescalero, here in the forest where we used to live, she blessed me one evening to carry on the spiritual aspects. And presently a lot of people don't understand that, and they don't know what that means, and that you become a medicine man. For instance, that was given to me through my great grandmother. What do you call that. 911.

JL: 911. Yes.

Harlyn Geronimo: That morning of 911 about two o clock, I was in a deep sleep, and then I had this dream. All the buildings, the debris was falling around me. Thick with flying dirt and I was inside it and I was thinking what is this all about and I was running out of there. And then it was so frightening it woke me up. I woke my wife up and I told her about this dream and we did a little prayer in Apache and we went back to sleep. That was 8 o'clock in the morning. I woke up and turned the TV on and I saw the jetliner hitting the twin tower and after that it came down several minutes later. Then I see the debris flying all over the place and I told my wife, that's what I saw and what I was dreaming about. I was actually in that, in my dream. That took place early, how many hours before?

ALEXANDRA ROBBINS, author of "Secrets of the Tomb: Skull and Bones, the Ivy League, and the Hidden Paths of Power:"

Now Skull and Bones does everything in deference to this goddess. They have songs or they call them that sacred anthems that they sing when they are encouraged to steal things, some remarkably valuable items, supposedly, they are said to be bringing back gifts to the goddess. They begin each session in the tomb, and they meet twice weekly by unveiling a sort of a guilt shrine to Eulogia. That's the point of the society. They call themselves the Knights of Eulogia. That's where the 322 comes in.

I'll admit that, in the past, I didn't pay much attention to this Skull and Bones Society nor to conspiracy theory websites. I'd read articles on occasion and figured that God has the world in His hands, and at some point ... in HIS time, things would happen to stop this nonsense. Well, that's well and good, but I felt the strongest push to blog on the Geronimo issue. Not only does what the white settlers did to the Indians make my blood boil, the fact that the ancestors of Geronimo STILL have to deal with such nonsense makes me want to talk about the darkness. Not to push it all aside and figure it's someone else's battle or that God will take care of everything. I believe the latter is true, but He also does work through unusual ways. If this post in any way can help call attention to the need for changes, then so be it. Aside from that, it makes me feel better and less useless when I pound it out here. :o)

Okay, back to that crazy 322. Here are some interesting finds that use the numbers 322:

Also known as RIR; FE65; MGC:9072; APBB1 Summary The protein encoded by this gene is a member of the Fe65 protein family. It is an adaptor protein localized in the nucleus. It interacts with the Alzheimer's disease amyloid precursor protein (APP), transcription factor CP2/LSF/LBP1 and the low-density lipoprotein receptor-related protein. APP functions as a cytosolic anchoring site that can prevent the gene product's nuclear translocation. This encoded protein could play an important role in the pathogenesis of Alzheimer's disease. It is thought to regulate transcription. Also it is observed to block cell cycle progression by downregulating thymidylate synthase expression. Multiple alternatively spliced transcript variants have been described for this gene but some of their full length sequence is not known. [provided by RefSeq]
MATHEMATICS:
from VirtueScience:
The Number 322Prime Factors of 322=2x7x23. 322 is a Lucas Number.
322 is a 17-gonal Number.
322 is a 55-gonal Number.
322 is the 35th number which is the Product of 3 distinct primes.
322 is the number of + signs needed to write the Partitions of 12.

(admittedly, they lose me with mathematics ... BUT:)

According to the Skull and Bones Society lore, in 322 B.C., a Greek orator died. When he died, the goddess Eulogia, whom Skull and Bones called the goddess of eloquence, arose to the heavens and didn't happen to come back down until 1832, when she happened to take up residence in the tomb of Skull and Bones.
The clay tablet with the catalog number 322 in the G. A. Plimpton Collection at Columbia University may be the most well known mathematical tablet, certainly the most photographed one, but it deserves even greater renown. It was scribed in the Old Babylonian period between -1900 B.C and -1600 B.C and shows the most advanced mathematics before the development of Greek mathematics. It concerns the Pythagorean triples.
(whatever those are ... ran out of research time!) (sorry!)

SO ... Why Geronimo? That just bugged me. No one denies that this "Secret Society" brotherhood exists. No one denies that their rituals invoke a goddess archetype. And they do not deny strange rituals that have been reported in various media outlets. But, WHY was it important for the Skull and Bones Society to have Geronimo's skull and femurs? As I read more about Gothalay "Geronimo" below, I began to understand that these (for lack of better word) sissy boys want power. (Sorry .. but boys who do these things for power and riches are sissies to me.) So, why not rely on their goddess? What was it about this manly man Apache, Geronimo, that made his remains so alluring that a grave would be robbed to steal his skull and bones. That's sick!

From Wiki:
Goyathlay (Geronimo) was born to the Bedonkohe band of the Apache, near Turkey Creek,[2] a tributary of the Gila River in the modern-day state
of New Mexico,[3] then part of Mexico ...
On March 5, 1851, a company of 400 Mexican soldiers from Sonora led by Colonel José María Carrasco attacked Geronimo's camp outside Janos while the men were in town trading. Among those killed were Geronimo's wife, Alope, his children, and his mother. His chief, Mangas Coloradas, sent him to Cochise's band for help in revenge against the Mexicans. It was the Mexicans who named him Geronimo. This appellation stemmed from a battle in which he repeatedly attacked Mexican soldiers with a knife, ignoring a deadly hail of bullets, in reference to the Mexicans' plea to
Saint Jerome ("Jeronimo!"). The name stuck.

[ I had *no* idea!]

While Geronimo said he was never a chief, he was a military leader. As a Chiricahua Apache, this meant he was just one of many people with special
spiritual insights and abilities known to Apache people as "Power". Among these were the ability to walk without leaving tracks; the abilities now known as telekinesis and telepathy; and the ability to survive gunshot ( rifle/musket, pistol, and shotgun). Geronimo was wounded numerous times by both bullets and buckshot, but survived. Apache men who chose to who followed him of their own free will, and offered first-hand eye-witness testimony regarding his many "powers" and declared that this was the main reason why so many chose to follow him (he was favored by/protected by "Usen", the Apache high-god). Geronimo's "powers" were considered to be so great that he personally painted the faces of the warriors who followed him to reflect their protective effect. During his career as a war monger, Geronimo was notorious for consistently urging raids and war upon Mexican Provinces and their various towns, and later against American locations across Arizona, New Mexico, and western Texas.[5]


In 1886, General Nelson A. Miles selected Captain Henry Lawton, in command of B Troop, 4th Cavalry, at Ft. Huachuca to lead the expedition that captured Geronimo. Numerous stories abound as to who actually captured Geronimo, or to whom he surrendered. For Lawton's part, he was given orders to head up actions south of the U.S.–Mexico boundary where it was thought Geronimo and a small band of his followers would take refuge from U.S. authorities. Lawton was to pursue, subdue, and return Geronimo to the U.S., dead or alive. Lawton's official report dated September 9, 1886 sums up the actions of his unit and gives credit to a number of his troopers for their efforts.

Geronimo gave credit to Lawton's tenacity for wearing the Apaches down with constant pursuit. Geronimo and his followers had little or no time to rest or stay in one place. Completely worn out, the little band of Apaches returned to the U.S. with Lawton and officially surrendered to General Miles on September 4, 1886 at Skeleton Canyon, Arizona.

Geronimo and other Apaches were sent as prisoners to Fort Pickens, Florida, and his family was sent to Fort Marion. They were reunited in May 1887, when they were transferred to Mount Vernon Barracks in Alabama for seven years. In 1894, they were moved to Fort Sill, Oklahoma. In his old age, Geronimo became a celebrity. He appeared at fairs, including the 1904 World's Fair in St. Louis, and sold souvenirs and photographs of himself. However, he was not allowed to return to the land of his birth. He also rode in President Theodore Roosevelt's 1905 inaugural parade.

In 1905, Geronimo agreed to tell his story to S. M. Barrett, Superintendent of Education in Lawton, Oklahoma. Barrett had to appeal to President Roosevelt to gain permission to publish the book. Geronimo came to each interview knowing exactly what he wanted to say. He refused to answer questions or alter his narrative. Barrett did not seem to take many liberties with Geronimo's story as translated by Asa Daklugie. Frederick Turner re-edited this autobiography by removing some of Barrett's footnotes and writing an introduction for the non-Apache readers. Turner notes the book
is in the style of an Apache reciting part of his oral history.[6]


Geronimo died of pneumonia on February 17, 1909 at Fort Sill, Oklahoma, and was buried at the Apache Indian Prisoner of War Cemetery there.

I cried reading about Geronimo's end. He was dog and pony show for Roosevelt but yet was never allowed to return to his birthland of New Mexico territory. Teddy Roosevelt and his power rides are worth a second look another time. Anyway: From what I can gather, these frat boys at Yale really do not understand what they have done and what they do. If they *do* understand, then I can think of no other word to describe them than evil. We shouldn't play in the dark because we can get hurt. Now, I believe that what we see happening in the world today is a direct result of such worship of dark powers. They don't worship Geronimo ... they *use* his spirit to invoke (as a channel so to speak) to call on much darker elements. If you read some of the links, you may come to realize that these "Knights of Eulogia" really are doing Satanic ritual. You'll even see photos of former Prez GHW Bush in the Yale tomb. If the remains of Geronimo are in the keep of the dark Knights, then they must be given back. As Harlyn Geronimo has pointed out, in not always subtle ways, the world will continue to fall into ruin until certain Spiritual issues are made right. My best advice if ever asked, would be to fight fire with fire in this case. Call together your wise men Shamans, your Medicine People, and pray for guidance from the one God - ask then that what belongs to the ancestors be rightly given back and until that happens may God allow those who live for the dark powers be exposed and may the very thing they greedily gather - power over others - be shortcircuited.

Okay, that may be quite a stretch from a simple white woman hailing from Midwest territory, but this situation is just *so* Oz-like in reverse. The bad guys have the red shoes. Now you gotta get 'em back. In the spirit world - to those who have knowledge of and power in those realms - these scenarios are very real, aren't they? After all, does spirit have substance? If it has energy, then it surely does. What is energy? Atoms. That's substance. That's matter. So, it does matter! (hehe) What is present in the dark is also present in the light. What is spirit is also substance. What our energies project, we create. It's a fairly simple thing. In realms closed to many eyes, all things imaginable *do* exist.

Today is a time of extremes that calls for extreme action. Extreme medicine. Extraordinary reversal. (see Heyoka post yesterday)

So, I guess I have to have a conclusion point now. Exactly what that is, I'm not certain at this moment. I think that the real power in the Universe is God and of God. And things are being uncovered in current time to show how things went awry from the beginning. How we ended up where we are today. Those who seek power in the darkness will eventually get burned. Because they can't really understand the full consequences of that blind ambition. I guess I'll leave this with a verse from Jeremiah:

3:13 Only acknowledge thine iniquity, that thou hast transgressed againt the LORD they God, and hast scattered the ways to the strangers under
every green tree, and ye have not obeyed my voice, saith the LORD.

Hi Tink!
What kind of idiots are these Skull and Crossbone assholes to go around robbing graves and other childish crap? Not that the story is true, but I have heard a lot of stuff about these people over the years. To even think we have Presidents and other high ranking officials involved in such foolishness has always bugged me. No wonder I have so little faith in our Government and leaders.

Tink said...

I know, Rob Thanks for the reply! I'm afraid that it's more than childish games for many of them. What has happened to this country is beyond shameful! I'm not sure when we (as a nation) allowed these idiots to take over, but we did. Too much TV and not enough clear thinking maybe.

grace said...

I never did that, but have been to those spots and watched the crazies do that kind of stuff. Not for me!

grace said...

Hi Tink!

how's your weekend going? I know there is up to the minute feed over at FB, but I like me ole blog!

Tink said...

I stopped FB, Grace. Just too much and maintain and not enough time. Have to put my time/energy into home!

I figured so when I couldn't access you! glad you are still here. :)
