A sign? Are we all here?

 If you take a stroll through Old Stratfield Cemetery in Bridgeport, Connecticut, you’ll see historic graves, some dating back to the 1690s, back to when this boneyard was known as Pequonnock Cemetery. There are Revolutionary War heroes buried in this small park, town-founding fathers and mothers, but also a curious grave of a man who was struck down by lightning while attending church.

We know from a glance at the headstone, adorned at the top with a traditional New England death head, that David Sherman was born c. 1736. But the epitaph is the most show-stopping among a field of old headstones.

Here lyes Buried the Body of Mr. David Sherman Who was killed by Lightning in the House of God at public worship on the 28th of July 1771 in the 35th Year of His Age.

What?!

When asked why I don’t go to church regularly, I’ve answered more than once: “If I went into church, I’d be struck down by lightning, and I wouldn’t want any innocent people around me to get caught in the crossfire of God’s wrath.”

But that would never actually happen, of course… would it?!

Then I see this headstone and double-down on my stay-out-of-church convictions! I had to know more, so I went digging through history. I was shocked to learn David was NOT the only victim that fateful day at Sunday service.

First, I found the journal of William Wheeler who penned: “A Journal for the Town of Fairfield, or An exact & impartial Account of the most Material Transactions from the first Settlement thereof till the Present Time”

He saw fit to mention David Sherman’s demise as a notable event in town, in fact the only notable event for the year 1771:

“July—The Lightning struck Stratfield meetinghouse & killed uncle John Burr & ripped open the Shoes of his brother Ozias that stood near him & killed likewise David Sherman.”

From there I found the book: A General History of The Burr Family in America with a Genealogical Record from 1570 to 1878 by Charles Burr Todd. This book offered more details:

“Captain John Burr, a farmer, son of Col. John Burr, was killed by lightning at the old Pequonnock meeting house, July 28, 1771. The congregation was standing in prayer. Parson Rose stopped praying, and after a pause he uttered the following words, ‘Are we all here?’ When the congregation moved out it was found that David Sherman and John Burr were dead. They were both in the prime of life, with families (the very pick of the flock). There was no rod on the steeple at that time.”

No lightning rod, and these two poor gents are struck down during service, and poor Ozias lost a shoe! “Are we all here?”  No we are NOT!  Still, I’m curious how Parson Rose’s collection plate did that unforgettable Sunday in 1771.


LIGHTNING RODS WORK!!

“Whether in actual fact the policy of the boot-on-the-face can go on indefinitely seems doubtful. My own belief is that the ruling oligarchy will find less arduous and wasteful ways of governing and of satisfying its lust for power, and these ways will resemble those which I described in Brave New World. Within the next generation I believe that the world’s rulers will discover that infant conditioning and narco-hypnosis are more efficient, as instruments of government, than clubs and prisons, and that the lust for power can be just as completely satisfied by suggesting people into loving their servitude as by flogging and kicking them into obedience.” – Aldous Huxley – Letter to George Orwell about 1984 in 1949

OVER AND OVER

THE ELITE NEVER, EVER GET MASSACRED OR WIPED OUT with their wealth. They just move. They move all down through the ages. They bring on catastrophes to an empire when they've used up that empire and they’ve already created another one to move into and then they flatten the old one and move on. This has been the system for thousands and thousands and thousands of years at least. - Alan Watt
Artificial messages coming from the environment and through controlled dark portal organizations and mind-controlled people feels; metallic, abrasive, acidic, energetically burdensome, and sharp knife or blade like. Sometimes it can make you feel suddenly physically ill with headaches, nausea, or body parts with stabbing pains, and even diarrhea when you come into contact with it. AI feels sickening to the Cosmic Christ Consciousness. [https://rielpolitik.com/2022/08/16/archons-overlords-magick-black-suns-lisa-renee-globalists-standing-at-the-ready/]

“There will be, in the next generation or so, a pharmacological method of making people love their servitude, and producing dictatorship without tears, so to speak, producing a kind of painless concentration camp for entire societies, so that people will in fact have their liberties taken away from them, but will rather enjoy it, because they will be distracted from any desire to rebel by propaganda or brainwashing, or brainwashing enhanced by pharmacological methods. And this seems to be the final revolution” ― Aldous Huxley

Watchers?

Watcherism is the worldwide religion of the ruling class, make no mistake about it. Forget about nationality, forget about ethnicity, forget about inherited religious tradition. None of that matters - not one single bit - at the elite level.  This is the religion they all share, and they tell you so over and over and over and over again. Thankfully, I think that message is sinking through to all but the most myopic and obstinate. - Christopher Knowles, Secret Sun blog

Hi folks, I am Alan Watt and this is Cutting Through The Matrix on February the 9th 2009.  For newcomers, look into www.cuttingthroughthematrix.com and download as many of the previous shows I've done, in the past, over the years, as you wish. I try to give you short-cuts to the big picture and get us above all the small bickering at the bottom; and there's also a lot of misleading information too, that keeps us trapped for years sometimes, in different tunnels and that's what it is, it's a world full of tunnels of information. There are some people who are experts in particular tunnels and it's quite good too, when you talk to them, because they know every part of it, in one particular area, and they can talk forever, with details and data, but we have to get them all together, to come out the tunnels and combine all this information, to get the big-big picture and I try to do that as well, on these talks. You can download as many of the previous talks I'v...
