America celebrates the Cerealia

The Mayan calendar “end of days” has come and gone, and we’re all still here. We should have known better, since Jesus Himself told us that we will not know in advance when the end is coming:

But of that day and hour knoweth no man, no, not the angels of heaven, but my Father only. (Matthew 24:36 KJV)

There may be some confusion about what is meant by “apocalypse”. Although it is often equated with the events described in the Book of Revelation in the Bible, the word itself does not mean destruction or the end of the world:

An apocalypse (Ancient Greek: ἀποκάλυψις apocálypsis, from ἀπό and καλύπτω meaning 'un-covering'), translated literally from Greek, is a disclosure of knowledge, hidden from humanity in an era dominated by falsehood and misconception. [from Wikipedia]

So we’re back to where we started, in an era dominated by falsehood and misconception, known popularly as the Presidency of Nobel Laureate Obama ad-Dajjal. Let the revelations continue.

America celebrates the Cerealia (April 12-April 19)

As revealed in previous posts, America’s goddess is Demeter, and America’s idol (the so-called Statue of Liberty) is a representation of Demeter. In the ancient world, this grain goddess was worshipped in two major annual festivals: the Cerealia in the spring, and the Mysteries in the fall. The Cerealia (in our calendar) takes place from April 12 to April 19. Several important (and some less important) events in American history took place on these dates:

April 12

1861       Civil War started in Charleston, SC

1945       Franklin Roosevelt died

April 13

1743       Thomas Jefferson was born

April 14

1865       Abraham Lincoln was shot (on a Good Friday)

1993       George Herbert Walker (Poppy) Bush visited Kuwait, where Saddam Hussein “tried to kill him”

April 15

1865       Abraham Lincoln died

1945       Franklin Roosevelt was buried

April 16

1789       George Washington left Virginia to become the first federal President

1993       Poppy Bush left Kuwait, having escaped the “assassination attempt”

April 17

1961       Bay of Pigs “invasion” started (some say it was directed by Poppy Bush)

April 18

1775       The midnight ride of Paul Revere (Apollos Rivoire) began

1883       Ground was broken for the foundation of the Statue of Liberty

1942       US forces bombed Japan for the first time (the Doolittle raid had been planned for April 19)

April 19

1775       Revolutionary War started at the battles of Lexington and Concord

1865       Abraham Lincoln’s state funeral was held

1961       Bay of Pigs “invasion” ended

1993       Branch Davidian church members were massacred in Waco, Texas

1995       Oklahoma City bombing took place

These occurrences certainly all could have been coincidences. But it is remarkable that our only two necessary wars (the Revolution and the Civil War) started and other important events in our civil religion occurred during this period. It is also remarkable that the deaths of two of our most venerated Presidents (Abraham Lincoln and Franklin Roosevelt) also happened in these days.

Intentionally or not, America does celebrate the Cerealia.

(Note: I mention Poppy Bush not because he's important, but because he and his son shamelessly channeled Demeter throughout their administrations.)
