Ready for a long story? You’re gonna get it anyhow...
Thirty or so years ago I met a young lady who had moved from Jacksonville, Florida to Poulsbo, Washington all by herself. We dated for several years and I heard all about her deceased father who had been an “organizer” for the unions in Florida. He had moved to Florida from Philadelphia late one night while she was a small child.
During the time we were together I worked on a construction project of a shopping center. The entire project was owned by a man with a very Sicilian name. We got along fine until one day I noticed his crews doing stuff that just wasn’t legal. If an inspector called them on it they’d just have a cup of coffee while the “old man” made a phone call and then everyone would go back to work.
In my idiocy I thought I should do something about this so I called a local TV reporter and told him all about it. He assured me that he had been wanting to get something on this particular Sicilian for a long time and that I should not talk to anyone else about the matter until he had some spare time to work on it. I thought I had done the right thing.
The next day I was laid off.
Two months later I was back on the job and the “old man” was right there to greet me. He was pleasant and friendly but I knew that he knew and he was just letting me know who was “boss.”
Remember the girlfriend? We were driving home one night and I told her about my little experience. She asked me the name of the “old man” and when I told her she dug around in her purse, pulled out a small notebook and leafed through the pages until she found what she was looking for. She read something in there - I don’t know just what - and then after a pause said, “Leave that man alone. He can hurt you.”
I was impressed. Especially since she always carried a snub-nosed .38 in that purse, ostensibly in case one of her father’s old “friends” dropped by.
In the Bible they call it “Mystery Babylon the Great.”
It has run the world since the time of Nimrod, or possibly earlier. It has two branches: The eccliastical, and the secular, and they are attached at the hip.
People who are a part of it try to rationalize the Bible references to it by saying that an ancient city named Babylon will be rebuilt in the near future, but there really never was a city named Babylon; Nimrod’s city was named Ninus, or Nineveh, not Babylon.
The cover-up goes on! :o)
