Friday, March 24, 2023: Palmer Chocolate Factory explosion kills 7 in West Reading, Pennsylvania (pop. 4212), Taylor Swift's birthplace. Taylor Swift had begun her tour one week earlier on March 17 (in Arizona), and on this date begins singing at Allegiant Stadium, the football stadium for the Las Vegas Raiders, which is just the other side of Mandalay from where the Vegas shootings happened on the third anniversary of the El Faro disaster. (El Faro is Spanish for “the lighthouse”. People think that poker was the gambling game that was most popular in the gambling halls of the old west, but actually it was game named Faro, which name is believed derived from the word “pharaoh”, and then you've got the Luxor casino pyramid (as in a tomb for a pharaoh) building right north of the Mandalay, along with its collection of Titanic artifacts).
Saturday, March 25: Swift sings in Paradise, Nevada, once again at the stadium for the Raiders. Anniversary of 1975 Lyon sisters case, which authorities believe may have led to Taylor's Mountain.
Sunday, March 26: Nashville music mogul Scott Borchetta is hospitalized after his race car crashes during race in Atlanta. Borchetta founded Big Machine Records, which produced Taylor Swift's first six studio albums. Borchetta first noticed Swift at the Bluebird Cafe on Hillsboro Pike. The Bluebird Cafe in Montreal caught fire as a result of arson on September 1, 1972, killing 37. The Hillsborough Crush of April 15, 1989, killed 97; the Taylor Report was written as a response to the crush, which caused inexpensive terrace areas where fans would stand (and mingle) packed together at UK soccer games to be replaced with more expensive seats. In 2019, on the anniversary of the crush (and of Abraham Lincoln dying and of Titanic sinking), Notre Dame Cathedral caught fire. In recent years, Borchetta and Swift have been feuding over the master copies of the albums.
Monday, March 27: Eight-tenths of a mile southwest down Hillsboro Pike from the Bluebird Cafe, the Covenant School shooting happens, killing 7 if shooter is counted.
I was afraid in 2018 someone was going to attack a Taylor Swift concert. Why? Partly because (1) the Waffle House shooter was obsessed with Taylor Swift, and that attack happened in Antioch, and Taylor Swift was born on the anniversary of the Antioch earthquake of 115 AD that injured Emperor Trajan and future Emperor Hadrian. This quake killed by most accounts about 260,000. Standard opinion seems to be that this death toll probably (but not certainly) was exceeded in one or all of the horrific Chinese quakes of 1303, 1556, 1920, and 1976, and that's about it as far as earthquakes in recorded history. (There also had been an aborted assassination attempt against MLK at Antioch College, Ohio, and it's worth remembering that later Kyle Rittenhouse came into the news, and he's from Antioch, Illinois.) Also because (2) Taylor Swift had apparently dated Conor Kennedy, the son of RFK Jr., in the summer of 2012, and his mother Mary Richardson Kennedy had just died supposedly by suicide on May 16, 2012, and then on May 16, 2018, was the school shooting (stopped by a heroic police officer guarding the school) at Dixon High, Reagan's alma mater. Where Dixon High is now and where Reagan mostly lived when he went to Dixon High are very close to the site of the Truesdell Bridge Disaster, which happened the day before President McKinley's assassin was born. As a lifeguard, Reagan kept 77 bodies from floating down the Rock River to where this bridge had been, which was obviously part of why the disaster killers wanted to kill him, probably. (When Reagan as Governor of California saved a 78th person June 15, 1969, which made his saves equal the dead in the Kew Garden train wreck which equaled JD Tippit's unit number and patrol district, there you go, another reason the assassins probably felt the disaster spirits wanted him dead.) May 16 is the anniversary of the Mill River Dam Disaster in Williamsburg, MA. Hinckley was living with his parents in Williamsburg, VA, and still lives in Williamsburg, I hope. Pretty clear Hinckley was chosen because his name suggested the Great Hinckley Fire of 1894. You see, the James D. Nicol sank June 24, 1894, the same day President Carnot of France was shot dead, but about half on the Nicol were rescued by the tug Robert H. Sayre, which on the day of the Great Hinckley fire, namely September 1, 1894, did ram into the General Slocum, knocking the latter's rudder off. Of course the General Slocum fire killed over a thousand on June 15, 1904. And the Great Hinckley fire is often said to have killed Boston Corbett, who killed President Lincoln's assassin the day before the Sultana blew up (the theory about Corbett's death became well known when a history book concerning the Great Hinckley fire mentioned it, a year or two before Hinckley's attempt in Nashville on Carter). It's likely that whoever did the 1973 Upstairs Lounge fire in New Orleans was thinking about the Bluebird Cafe fire and the tugboat Robert H. Sayre, because the New Orleans fire was entirely analogous in its physical characteristics to the Bluebird Cafe fire that happened on the anniversary of Sayre crashing into General Slocum, and the New Orleans fire happened on the anniversary of Sayre rescuing some from the Nicol disaster.
[Update:April 7, 2023. This paragraph contained a very significant error when I posted it one week ago, that I noticed just now and corrected with a strikethrough. Somehow I conflated Arlington, TX, with Irving, TX, I suppose because I originally probably defined Irving as the place between Dallas and Fort Worth where the Dallas Cowboys played, and I never noticed much that in 2009 the Cowboys moved from Texas Stadium in Irving to what would become AT&T Stadium in Arlington. Anyway, there goes eighty-percent or so of the reason to have been frightened about the concert at AT&T stadium. Urrgh, how stupid I was! My apologies--my only excuse is that I am just not as good at quick thinking as slow thinking for sure and it seemed an emergency situation that gave me no choice. I also failed to mention something I had forgotten about that I had noticed maybe six months or so ago, namely that Ruth Paine went to Antioch College (as did Coretta Scott King).]
Anyway, what's especially interesting and relevant now is that it's clear (to me anyway) that the murder of Molly Bish was largely about the same bridge disaster that was used as an excuse to shoot Reagan. The Truesdell bridge was designed (incompetently) when designer Lucius Truesdell lived in Warren, MA, the town Molly was a lifeguard (like Reagan) in. Bish's body was found on top of Whiskey Hill in Palmer, Massachusetts. Until the Palmer chocolate factory explosion, it's the only Palmer reference I have noticed in a murder or assassination. And of course, which is bizarre and has never felt sacred to me, a race car track has been built atop Palmer Mountain where her body was found. Moreover, there's an excellent chance the dump site was accessed via Bel Air Drive. The Carcano rifle went via Ruth Paine's Bel Air wagon from New Orleans to her home in Arlington Irving, then it went from this home in Arlington Irving to the Texas School Book Depository parking lot via the Bel Air of Buell Wesley Frazier. Those conveyances be the penultimate and ultimate rides by automobile of Oswald's Carcano rifle before the assassination! Also, John Wilkes Booth was from Bel Air, Maryland, and James Earl Ray had a chance to kill MLK in LA on March 16, 1968 (and on the morning of the next day), an opportunity he didn't take—and March 16 is the anniversary of the Neffs mine disaster near Belaire, Ohio. Tonight the Taylor Swift tour takes her to Arlington, TX. I am once again concerned about her safety and the safety of those around her. March 31 is the anniversary of the Army Transport General Lyon disaster that killed over 500 and almost surely largely inspired the March 25, 1975, murders of the Lyon sisters. Then April 1 is the 150th anniversary of the SS Atlantic disaster off Nova Scotia which pretty obvious was a reference in the 2020 Nova Scotia shootings (e.g., the murderer named his workplace “Atlantic Denture Clinic”). And April 2, 2020, RFK descendants Maeve Fahey Kennedy Townsend McKean and her son were last seen alive after their canoe was being carried out to sea near Herring Bay in the Chesapeake, only for them to be drowned. Some other (not red) herrings are the Herring fishing club that chartered the James D. Nicol the day it capsized and the Herring that collided his Greyhound bus into the Greyhound bus carrying Thomas Terry Murphy, causing the death south of Waco of the latter and 27 others, which remains the deadliest collision in US history between (non-railway) motorized vehicles. JFK was shot dead right in front of Thomas J. Murphy, father of Thomas T. Murphy, and Oswald caught Whaley's taxi after the assassination at the bus station where Thomas T. Murphy probably caught the bus that fateful day in August 1952.
At her concerts, I'd say it would be prudent for Swift and her security to worry the most about sniper rifles (especially in Arlington, think Oswald's Carcano), then speeding vehicles (think race cars), then bombs (think May 22, 2017, attack in Manchester, UK).
Also probably relevant is there's a Trimble Road that ends about at the Covenant church. In 1975 in the same section of Nashville was the infamous Marcia Trimble murder. Less than two months before that, which Websleuth Richard noticed, South Trimble, Jr., who was a coauthor of the official report concerning the Hindenburg disaster, was murdered in DC. He was murdered near Hazen Park, as in Hazen Road, the cause of the 1925 Rockport train wreck. The Rockport train wreck and the Hindenburg are the main US disasters after the Slocum disaster that killed mainly Germans or ethnic Germans. Hindenburg happened on fifth anniversary of other President of France being assassinated. Right before WWI, the main such disasters included the General Slocum and Nicol disasters, as well as the Hoboken Docks fire than happened where NYC Mayor Gaynor would be shot, the fire being the day before Franz Ferdinand entered his morganatic marriage.
A little over two weeks before South Trimble's murder in DC, Eileen Kelly was snatched in DC on what would later be Taylor Swift's birthday. Her body was found near where a trolley overturned on August 1 during the Red Summer of 1919. On the centennial of this trolley disaster, Saoirse Kennedy Hill—another RFK descendant—would die of supposed overdose.
Thursday, April 13, 2023 update: I suppose the few readers of this blog may be interested in whether I still think (notwithstanding the stupid mistake I made) the Taylor Swift concert in Dallas (more precisely, Arlington) was to have been a target for some sort of attack if possible. Yes, I do certainly think Dallas definitely was where the signs pointed the danger was. Actually, looking at AT&T stadium as a football stadium and event venue, it doesn't take long to see how the killer may have adjusted his malarkey slightly in order to migrate the Bel Air malarkey concerning Irving to Arlington. For instance, whoever was associated with the Molly Bish killing may have said that the Bel Air spirits associated with Irving (via the Bel Airs of Ruth Paine and Buell Wesley Frazier) are disturbed that Irving no longer has a football team, etc., on account of the Arlington stadium, and so demand retribution at the new stadium. But is there evidence that this may have been the case? Indeed, there is, and you don't have to look far from the Covenant School shooting. Just look at the 2020 Christmas bomb attack. This attack, which thankfully but unusually killed no one but the bomber, did however heavily damage a nearby AT&T network facility, disrupting communication services for a few days. And the 2020 Christmas bomber lived in Antioch. And something else I should have mentioned was that the school resource officer who foiled the Dixon High shooting was named Mark Dallas, which name may have suggested to the disaster killers that spirits associated with the city of Dallas (or its athletic and entertaiment venues) somehow need to be conciliated to the killers with death. It's worth mentioning that on September 24, 2017, in Antioch there was a church shooting at the Burnette Chapel. I suppose it's quite possible that the April 22, 2018, Waffle House shooting and the Christmas 2020 bombing by the Antioch resident may have been at least partial reactions to this. I mostly don't think the Burnette shooter believed in disaster malarkey, even though the September 24, 1904, New Market train wreck east of Knoxville is the second deadliest Tennessee train wreck and happened on F. Scott Fitzgerald's eighth birthday. I see, curiously, that the 2017 church shooter was convicted on May 24, 2019, Queen Victoria's 200th birthday, which I suppose may have at least partially motivated or resurected the possible Victoria obsession in the disaster killers. The horrendous earthquake that this year on Reagan's 112th birthday killed over 50000 in Turkey did devastate the area around Antioch--the ancient city overlaps the city now called Antakya. Antakya is the capital of Hatay province, the southernmost province of Turkey, and over 40% of the deaths in Turkey occurred in that province. According to Wikipedia, 70% of the homes in Antakya were destroyed and up to 80% of the buildings in Antakya required demolition. It's easy to see how the 2023 Turkey earthquake, fitting into both the "Antioch" obsession that seemed to take off at about the time of the Waffle House shooting as well as the "Reagan" obsession likely largely behind the Dixon High shooting may have been interpreted by the aligner weirdos as a sign that the relevant disaster spirits wanted more in the same line from them. Arrrgh. I was thinking about pointing out it still might be prudent to consider that Tampa, where Taylor Swift is going next, is the County Seat of Hillsborough County, Florida, when it occurs to me that Saturday Taylor Swift will in fact be there at her concert on the anniversary of the Hillsborough Crush disaster and the sinking of Titanic, etc. Okay, now given another emergency, I suppose it is time to mention that the 1993 Holly Piirainen murder, obviously done by the same miscreant or miscreants who killed Molly Bish, does probably refer to Titanic in two different ways. First, as is well known, the trail her body was found near in Brimfield is sometimes called the Titanic trail because it is a railbed that never had rails put on it because the project was cancelled after the main supporter of the Grand Trunk rail line between Palmer and Providence, Rhode Island, namely Charles M. Hays, the president of the Grand Trunk, who formerly had been chief manager of a forerunner of the Wabash Railroad, died on the Titanic when it sank (the Mill River flood was on his eighteenth birthday). As for the second reference one has to understand the meaning of where she was snatched, namely the intersection of South Shore and Allen in Sturbridge, MA, on August 5, 1993. You don't have to search the history of 1993 much to notice an obvious candidate for the "South Shore" reference, namely the collision on the South Shore Line (widely considered by purists as the purest thing left of America's system of interurbans) on Martin Luther King Day (observed) in 1993 between two passenger trains headed in opposite directions in Gary, Indiana on a gantlet-track bridge (the 1950 Rockville Centre wreck also occurred on a gantlet track, i.e., where two tracks partially overlap). According to a 24 January 1993 Northwest Indiana Times article, the youngest of the dead, a boy who was ten years old (Holly would turn ten the day after the wreck) was found by his father at the Guy and Allen Funeral Home (there were seven dead) in Gary. So that is the sort of thing that gets you to look at other South Shore Line wrecks, and before long you encounter the train in South Bend that ran off the end of the line the same day as the 1967 Belvidere tornado two days before James Earl Ray escaped from the Missouri Penitentiary. And one week before that, i.e., April 14, 1967, the 55th anniversary of Titanic striking the iceberg, pretty much the exact same thing had happened at the exact same spot, namely in front of the La Salle Hotel in South Bend (not the La Salle Hotel in Chicago which caught fire at 12:15am local time on June 5, 1946, but a homonymous one). RFK was shot 12:15am local time on June 5, 1968. As a result of the 1967 wrecks, Mayor Allen of South Bend supported the process that caused the end of street running in South Bend. The Capital Gazette shooting was close to the June 5, 1908, wreck on the South Shore Line (of the former WB&A interurban) near the Best Gate station near Annapolis, Maryland (the latter South Shore Line referring to the south shore of the Severn River as opposed to the south shore of Lake Michigan). Robert Preston took off from Tipton Field Airbase prior to landing at the White House. (Perhaps just a coincidence, but the Preston Pointe building is where the Louisville shooting happened Monday, April 10. Also worth noting is that the Gulf Hotel fire happened at 615 Preston in Houston, TX, the day after the 1943 Congressional train wreck. General Edwin Walker was shot at by Oswald April 10, 1963, when Walker was at his home at 4011 Turtle Creek Boulevard in the Highland Park neighborhood of Dallas. After shooting at Walker I imagine Oswald fled on Avondale Ave en route to hiding his rifle along the tracks of the Katy Railroad. The Congressional train wreck of 1943 happened in Pennsylvania on the anniversary of the 1869 Avondale Mine disaster in Pennsylvania.) Tipton Airbase was on the South Shore Line of the WB&A. The Tipton Ford, Missouri, train wreck (43 dead) of 1914 took place on August 5, the day (Berlin time) when Britain entered a state of war against Germany. Holly was snatched on August 5, 1993. Recent events suggest that James Earl Ray probably thought the tornado and trolley car incidents of April 21, 1967, were supernaturally auspicious because he felt the close proximity time-wise of the Victoria, BC, street car disaster of May 26, 1896 and of the tornadoes the day before and the day after had supernatural signifance, and whoever killed Holly Piirainen probably knew that. Looking at the 1989 Hillsborough Crush more closely, I see that the general area of the disaster was devastated by the Great Sheffield Flood of 1864 caused by the March 11, 1864, collapse of the Dale Dyke Dam upon initial filling. Possibly this spatial alignment between disasters could have something to do with the 2004 Madrid train bombings being 140 years to the day after the Dale Dyke Dam failed, though at this point I don't have a clue why it would.
