Bob Dylan, 9/11, and Taking What You Gather From Coincidence

“I’ll tell it and speak it and think it and breathe it

And reflect from the mountain so all souls can see it”

Peering into the realm of meaningful timing in the release of Bob Dylan albums reveals some noteworthy connections, with the ongoing 9/11 emphasis becoming nothing short of incredible, culminating in Dylan’s September 11, 2012 release of Tempest, a nod to Shakespeare’s final play.

Being a deep and mysterious artist who is tuned into the workings of this world and beyond, it is evident that Mr. Dylan has wanted to send messages by emphasizing dates in the way he operates and when his works are released to the world. One wonders how much influence he has in these matters.

"Some people still sleeping, some people are wide awake"
-Bob Dylan

Dylan's August 29, 2006 release of Modern Times was on the one-year anniversary of Hurricane Katrina, with the 9th track being “The Levee's Gonna Break.” That’s one release date that certainly seems to not be by chance. Interestingly, just a few days ago on August 29, 2012, Hurricane Isaac arrived in New Orleans exactly 7 years after Katrina. Ritual conspiracy? Maybe. I wonder how conspiratorial Bob Dylan’s mind gets with world events.

In the March 22, 1965 release of his album Bringing It All Back Home, Dylan went electric. This was an artistic leap that had a tremendous impact on the future of music and was one of the most significant developments in the history of the human species in my opinion. 1965 was the year of electric Dylan (a new beginning that I have viewed as similar to year 1 of the Anno Domini calendar system based on Jesus), and the 3/22 album has the infamous 322 number of the nefarious Skull and Bones Society, a secretive illuminated fraternity containing such upstanding members as Prescott Bush, George H.W. Bush, George W. Bush, Percy Avery Rockefeller (whose son was born on 9/11/03), John Kerry, John Negroponte, and C. Montgomery Burns. The group has been accused of possessing the stolen skulls of Martin Van Buren, Geronimo, and Pancho Villa.  Was the timing of Bringing It All Back Home somehow connected to the Order of the Skull and Bones? Was Dylan emphasizing that he is paying attention to the group by using their number?

On November 22, 1965, the 2nd anniversary of the JFK assassination, Dylan married 25-year-old former Playboy Bunny Sara Lownds. Bob reportedly "depended on her advice as if she were his astrologer, his oracle, his seer, his psychic guide. He would rely on her to tell him the best hour and the best day to travel."

According to Bob Dylan's friend Bob Fass who was with him on the day of JFK’s death, Dylan was deeply affected by the murder of John F. Kennedy and said: "What it means is that they are trying to tell you 'Don't even hope to change things'." In a manuscript written shortly after the assassination, he wrote: "there is no right or left there is only up and down."

The obvious conspiracy and cover-up of the JFK assassination did indeed send a message that there are forces that can murder someone as significant as the U.S. President in broad daylight and get away with it. Dylan’s songwriting noticeably shifted away from protest songs after JFK’s death and I tend to think that the event influenced Bob to not want to continue protesting the government and society in such a literal way, and made him especially not want to be the leading anti-establishment protest singer, lest he meet a similar fate. For him to get married on the anniversary of that fateful day is an insight into his way of thinking, indicating that the decision was made to merge an important event of his life with a significant event from the past.  Just think of your wedding anniversary being on the anniversary of the JFK assassination.

There are other Bob Dylan album release dates that jump out at me such as the October 13, 2009 release of Christmas in the Heart being on the anniversary of the infamous Friday the 13th of October 1307 when the Knights Templar were rounded up in France.

Dylan’s first album, titled Bob Dylan, featured the song "House of the Rising Sun" and was released on March 19, 1962. This date seems less likely to be influenced by Bob, although one never knows. I did an entire podcast about March 19th and it is a hugely significant date to me. Obama announced the War with Libya on 3/19 (Operation Odyssey Dawn) and Bush announced the War with Iraq on 3/19. March 19 is the day of the Roman festival celebrating Minerva, the goddess whose head is on the U.S. Medal of Honor, the highest military decoration awarded by the United States government. Awarding soldiers with a medal of Minerva/Athena after beginning conflicts on the date of her festival celebration suggests that soldiers are being viewed by the sorcerers of this current era as ritual sacrifices to the goddess. March 19 is also the date on the Masonic capstone at the swastika-shaped Denver International Airport.  Tune into Jordan Maxwell for more on the symbol of the Rising Sun.

Now we get to September 11th. The release dates of these three albums is mind blowing:

Under the Red Sky released September 11, 1990


+11 years


 

Love And Theft released September 11, 2001

+11 years


 

Tempest released September 11, 2012

Was the 9/11 event so transformational that it was somehow psychically manifested in the release dates of Bob Dylan albums?  Did Bob Dylan (or someone) orchestrate these 9/11 synchronicities with his albums on purpose having foreknowledge of the events?  Is 9/11 a significant occult number and date?  Did all this just happen by chance?  Is it all just a coincidence?

Bob Dylan released an album on the day President George H.W. Bush first publicly called for a New World Order on 9/11/1990.

Then Dylan released an album exactly 11 years later on the day of the 9/11/2001 attacks on America when Bush's son George W. Bush was President.  This event was used as the pretext to escalate the march towards world government and a New World Order.  In the TV commercial for Love and Theft, Bob Dylan is dealt a royal flush.

I don't claim to have the answers as to how all this came about, but it is interesting that Dylan is Jewish.  Despite the mainstream version of 9/11 now being taught to our children in schools, the 9/11 attacks appear to have been orchestrated by the international Zionist network to trigger revenge in the hearts and minds of Americans, wars in the Middle East, and the spread of Greater Israel.  In other words, to get the U.S. Military to overthrow Middle Eastern governments to benefit the Israel project.  Dylan being a famous musician and a Jew has no doubt gained him high level access to information that has taught him about the plans of international Zionism.

But is he using the release date of albums to show that he knows what they are up to?  Could it be foreknowledge?  Could Bob Dylan perhaps have received these thoughts from somewhere else?  Somewhere spiritual?  A psychic connection?  Tapping into another realm?

The enormous amount of 9/11 synchronicities is jaw dropping, and I experienced some firsthand.  How strange that the 9/11 conspiracy is what woke me up, and I just happened to draw a clock for art class a few years earlier with the hands of the clock pointing towards the hours of 9, 11, and 1?

I was looking forward to September 11, 2001 for weeks ahead of time like many others in anticipation of the release of Dylan's album Love And Theft, and it is imprinted into my mind how I was looking forward to that date ahead of time.  It was very strange to me that this enormous event happened on the very day that I had been anticipating.  I went and bought the CD on 9/11 too despite the madness and hysteria going on.

My receipt from 9/11/2001

Some of the lyrics on Love and Theft have an eerie similarity to the 9/11 attacks on the Twin Towers.

Track 9, "Honest with Me," contains the lyrics

Well, I'm stranded in the city that never sleeps

The Siamese twins are comin' to town
People can't wait, they've gathered around

I'm here to create the new imperial empire
I'm gonna do whatever circumstances require

Track 7, "High Water (for Charley Patton)," has the lyrics

Coffins droppin' in the street
Like balloons made out of lead 

Well, George Lewis told the Englishman, the Italian and the Jew
“You can’t open your mind, boys
To every conceivable point of view”
They got Charles Darwin trapped out there on Highway 5
Judge says to the High Sheriff,
“I want him dead or alive
Either one, I don’t care”

George W. Bush would soon announce that he wants Osama Bin Laden dead or alive.
