This Saturday, October 15 from 9:00 a.m. to 3:00 p.m., it’s Open House here in Somerville with the local Masonic Lodge here in the city, King Solomon’s Lodge AF & A.M. at 125 Highland Avenue (rear up the driveway to the right of the building) doors will be open for residents to come and tour and ask questions about the Masons, the lodge and the building they occupy. King Solomon’s Lodge was chartered September 5, 1783, just two days after the American Revolution ended. Their charter was signed by Paul Revere and they owned and built the original Bunker Hill Monument in Charlestown. They even have on display the actual documents conveying the land to the Masonic Lodge in Charlestown. Officers and members will be present and light refreshments will be served.

It looks like the long awaited Green Line Extension is getting closer to becoming a reality. The estimated cost will be $2.3 billion dollars, officials told the Transit Authority Oversight Board. The federal officials have been asked to contribute $1 billion. The officials appear to be satisfied with the changes in the designs of the stations. The City of Cambridge will contribute $25 million over five years, and the City of Somerville’s agreement will be – or is supposed to be – ironed out where we will be paying an estimated $50 million. We wonder how the city is going to do that? Maybe a bond or another hit on your taxes?

There’s a new website in town. Check it out at www.somervillema.com. The Somerville Times is on the site. Also check out www.medfordma.com. Someone asked online why we keep these two websites in Newstalk. We guess it’s because we like them.

For those that might be interested in obtaining certification for firearms should look up the Lawrence Rod & Gun Club. They provide an extensive program at the end of which you receive certification for Massachusetts/NRA Certified Firearm Safety Classes. They run a class once a month, which is limited to 10 people and we hear that this is the place to go to learn safety when handling guns. Email gunclub@earthlink.net for more information and or go to their website at www.lawrencerodandgunclub.org and read up about the course. We’ve been told that the course has seen a major increase in people applying for it, especially women. We can tell you first hand here that it’s a great course and quite thorough. The same goes for this in Newstalk. The club has informed us that many residents of Somerville have called or gone to the club to find out about certification.

Given the comments I and others made on last week’s Newstalk, I was left scratching my head about The Somerville Times reprinting, verbatim, the erroneous blurb about ballot Question 5. I pointed out that Question 5 is a proposition 2.5 debt exclusion, the monies from which can only be used to fund a new Somerville High School. I was ready to chalk it up to an editing oversight but I could not believe the Times would make such a bush league error. It got me wondering. The Times had been repeating the same thing about Question 5 for weeks. What are they onto or, more ominously, what are they trying to hide from us?
The Somerville Times has not always been in the ranks of establishment media mouthpieces like The New York Time. Not that long ago, it went by the moniker, The Somerville News, and was more aligned with less conventional media outlets such as The Weekly World News. Why did this paper change its name? Why are they trying to hide their identity? What is their reason for seeking the credibility of the mainstream press? I found my answer up the page. No, not the Freemasons! Further up, in the masthead is an image of the Old Powder House – the same image emblazoned on the city seal and so many other Somerville institutions. For those of you asking yourselves why is a picture of the Old Powder House important, stop reading now! You are a tool of the establishment and too far gone to wake-up and see an obvious symbol of the Somerville Illuminati!
During the American Revolution, gun powder was stored at the Old Powder House. In the 1870s, condiment manufacturer, George Emerson, began making pickles nearby and storing them there. What does gun powder in the 18th century and pickles in the 19th have to do with all this? That question is a red herring!
Look more closely at the official seal of the City of Somerville. Add together the three dates you find there and you get the result, 5353, double or, more accurately, twin 53’s. But what does this mean? You have to go clear across the city to the Charlestown line to find the answer. The Mount Vernon Restaurant proudly advertises itself as the “Home of the Twin Lobster Special”. The Mount Vernon is located at 14 Broadway. Half of 14 is seven, the number of hills in the city. Hills are the key to understanding this conspiracy!
Ignore the recent renovation of the tower atop Prospect Hill. That operation is an obvious false flag. This conspiracy is far bigger than the global network of beacon stations used by our alien overlords to control Earth’s weather!
Taking letters from the names of the seven hills of Somerville, you can almost spell ‘pickett’ as in Somerville native, Bobby Pickett, co-writer of the Halloween standard “Monster Mash”. Still think it just random coincidence the vote on Question 5 happens so soon after Halloween? Halloween originated centuries ago in Europe as All Hallows’ Eve. What else originated centuries ago in Europe? Latin! What was the first school located at the very top of Central Hill where the current Somerville High School stands today? The Latin High School! And what city, today, still has a Latin high school? You need look no further than our neighbor Cambridge, a city whose official seal bears the Latin motto, “Literis Antiquis Novis Institutis Decora”! My Latin is a bit rusty, but this roughly translates to the enigmatic phrase, “Littering Antiques Doesn’t Decorate Institutes”. Is this a clue as to why Somerville’s Central Hill is so important to the Cambridge Illuminati? Why are the Illuminati working to prevent the construction of a new Somerville High School? What are they trying to prevent us from finding or disturbing at the top of Central Hill? We’re through the looking glass here people! With every layer you peel back, this croissant just gets more flaky!
A conspiracy orchestrated by Latin-fluent, Cantabrigian Illuminati and covered-up by their media enablers like The Somerville Times is the only reason I can imagine for repeatedly misrepresenting, even when given facts to the contrary, the ballot question for the new Somerville High School. I am as sure of this as I am sure that I saw Elvis getting on the train at Davis! People! Open your eyes!
With this piece, Somerville Swift has presented what can only be considered the finest piece of investigative journalism ever to appear in this publication. And considering his/her previous groundbreaking investigative work regarding the persecution of odd-siders (by even-siders and other-siders) this is saying a lot. I was truly unaware of the deep connections among the News, the Cambridge elite, and our dear old Central Hill.
This leaves me wondering about something else, though. I have long been curious about the secret meaning of the bronze plaque set into a section of the granite curb immediately across the street from the high school. It was clearly placed long ago in a burst of Arthurian determination. The plaque reads “3/4 mile”, has an arrow that points directly at the high school, and claims to have been placed by the Division of Weights and Measures. If you inquire with the folks at this division about the meaning behind the plaque you will of course get stony silence, or maybe a shrug (and I’ve done it!). There is clearly more to the story.
Perhaps the problem is that this plaque was placed by forces outside of Somerville. I wouldn’t be surprised if this ties into the Latin-fluent, Cantabrigian illuminati media enabled conspiracy that’s been uncovered here.
