'Frozen in Time' - Italian Hall disaster - Part V

Italian Hall Disaster Site - Walking Tour

Steve Lehto

The Italian Hall Disaster Site in Calumet, Michigan. 73 people died here on Christmas Eve, 1913, when someone yelled "Fire!" in a crowded children's Christmas party. There was no fire; the man who yelled Fire was simply trying to break the party up.

This is what the site looks like today.

An Amish farmhouse at night

An Amish farmhouse at night

I recall some time ago while channel-surfing and winding up on one of those programs about the Amish---which are often voyeuristic and even defamatory---which was featuring a particular farm family. After the segment was over, the footage switched to the lot outside of their modest home. It was particularly dark outside, since this was a rural/farming area, and the camera focused on the house. The windows were illuminated brightly, and members of the large family could be observed inside. I can't recall whether or not someone was playing a piano.... but they were singing... rather loudly... together.

Well, lets ponder this. Given our time period, technology, social media, all the chaos and confusion, all the mixed messages and drama, and all the whistles and bells.... here was a family who knew exactly who they were, taking time in the evening to all be together... and sing. It makes me wonder... who really has the better quality of life?

Think of a childless person in a large city, working perhaps the same hours as the Amish farmer, but spending two hours commuting, spending each day taking orders from strangers, supporting someone else's enterprise, spending the day without seeing a horizon or breathing fresh air, stuck in their little box, enduring unhealthy psychological-stress (as opposed to some healthy hard physical work), engaging in the dog-eat-dog world of a concrete jungle, constantly being dictated to as to what to feel and value and believe, and pretending to feel free and empowered when they can occasionally hop on an airplane and take a "fast vacation" somewhere.

Some of the loneliest people around live smack dab in the middle of one of these ant hill like cities. Who is really more healthy and free?

Dialogue from the 1989 film 'Next of Kin'

Briar Gates, a resident of the Appalachian Mountains in Kentucky....

Briar: "He wanted me to go, Chicago. Shit. Not me, brother. I been there and you can have it."

The other party (sarcastically): "I wouldn't wanna leave these accommodations either."

Briar: "At least it's my place. I still own the land it sits on. I can open the door in the middle of the night and take a piss on it if I want.

The biggest cult that nobody has ever heard of

Sam Fife's "Move of God" reportedly had 44,000 members, mostly from southern California to British Columbia and Alaska in the late 70s.


************


The Move (Sam Fife)

The Move (also known as The Move of the Spirit or Move of God) is the unofficial name of a non-denominational charismatic Christian group that was started in the 1960s in Florida by Sam Fife, a former Baptist preacher.

In his ministry in the early 1960s, Sam Fife used elements of charismatic ministry, first at his church in New Orleans, then in his prayer group in Miami, Florida. He was a former Baptist preacher and his theology has been related to the Body of Christ movement.

At a time of searching by young people and social disruption, Fife's teachings inspired groups throughout United States, Canada and, later, other countries. Considered by some to be an apostle, under the concept of the Fivefold ministry, Fife attracted a group of ministers who believed his vision of the role of the church in the "end times". In the fall 1971, Fife began to preach what was referred to as the "Wilderness Message."

Within a few years, thousands of his followers had moved to a number of communal farms, mostly in Alaska, Canada, and Colombia. They followed various practices in combining their resources in common. Sam Fife wrote numerous booklets about his beliefs, which were distributed among members of The Move.

'A History of Sam Fife’s Move of God Cult'

Vennie Kocsis - VennieKocsis.com - October 16, 2016

SAM FIFE’S MOVE OF GOD CULT:

Sam Fife was a former Baptist minister who started his ministry in Florida in the early 1960’s.   He considered himself an apostle by way of a five-fold ministry concept based on the scripture in Ephesians 4:11 which states: So Christ himself gave the apostles, the prophets, the evangelists, the pastors and teachers.  Sam used very erratic methods in his sermon deliveries, sometimes calm, sometimes angry, raising his voice and screaming, then lowering his voice in these charismatic tactics to keep people rapt into his message.

............

The behavioral modification tactics of the MK Ultra Project are mirrored in the abuse tactics used on us children in Sam Fife’s cult.   Sleep deprivation of us children.  Extreme beatings.  Demon possession casting out rituals consisting of being screamed at and beaten at the same time.  Ice baths that lasted hours.  Being forced into cold showers and sometimes beaten naked in the showers. Sexual molestation.

Left in some of our minds is the question of whether this cult and the cult era in general was simply a transition into religious mind control testing.  It takes an incredible amount of mind control tactics to convince hundreds of parents to not only allow, but participate in the violent abuse of their own children, more that the average little old southern evangelist preachers should know.

Sam’s recruiters set up what they called, and still call, body houses, which were basically churches being held in people’s homes.  They used these body houses for the cult recruitment.  They used fear of the end of days as a key component of their recruiting, messages such as the Communists were coming to invade America, using The Cold War as leverage. The messages were coupled with a inferences of love and ego stroking, telling adults who were in the group were chosen by God to live safely in the wilderness communities.  It was also a very Zionist based theology hailing the Jews as God’s chosen people. To date the cult is a big believer of the Abrahamic religion.

Four wonderfully gloomy abandoned places

The Kilchurn Castle – Scotland

Today, Kilchurn Castle is one of the most photographed castles in the world. It was built in the 1400s and has sadly been left to decay since the 1700s. The untouched estate attracts people from all over the world who marvel at its incredible presence despite being neglected for 300 years.

In its time, it housed some of the most influential families and officials when they visited the country. It’s something we can imagine in the next James Bond film!


************

Allerheiligen Monastery – Germany

This monastery is almost 900 years old! It was built in 1192 inside of the Black Forest of Germany and still stands tall today. Sadly, the church was struck by lightning three times in a row during a particularly powerful storm. It was burnt down and no one chose to rebuild it.

If a church was struck three times, we think it should be left alone! We wonder what happened inside it for someone or something to strike it three times!


************

A Subway Station – New York, USA

This secret subway station lies under the City Hall in New York City. It was a highly anticipated project due to its ‘prime real estate’ location, and so much effort was put into its initial designs. Perhaps this is why it looks so much nicer than the ones we see today!

Unfortunately, its twists and turns made it unsafe for newer trains to navigate. The station was subsequently closed in 1945 and is left alone today. Occasionally, it is opened for walking tours.


************

Miranda Castle – Belgium

Miranda Castle was built in 1866, but the designer had died before the castle could be completed. This resulted in a confused next step for the construction workers since no one knew the next stage! Construction halted and the projected was ultimately abandoned.

Aside from being used briefly by the Nazis in WWII, the site has been left forgotten. There are no plans to resurrect the castle for modern use – all proposals have been called too expensive.

'Dark Side of the Ring'

I watched all six episodes of the "Vice" TV channels new series 'Dark Side of the Ring'. One doesn't even have to be a wrestling fan to view this insight into the outlandish world of pro wrestling. It's almost like "theater" for those who just aren't up to dressing up a bit and attending the local ballet, opera, or stage production. Although obviously choreograghed, it's still a very rough business. It appears that anyone can watch the series at the above link without a DirecTV or Dish account.


*************************


'Here Comes Mr. Jordan'

A few days ago I watched the charming 1941 fantasy romantic comedy 'Here Comes Mr. Jordan'. It starred Robert Montgomery, Claude Rains, Evelyn Keyes, and James Gleason, who were all very good in it. I thought that the remake in 1978, 'Heaven Can Wait', equaled the original. In fact, it was very similar in it's details; just a rethinking and updating of it. Warren Beatty, James Mason, Julie Christie, and Jack Warden--as the equivalent character rolls as the above--were eerily similar. One slight difference that I noticed was that at the end of 'Heaven Can Wait', Max Corkle had no idea of what had occurred in the Heavenly realm, however in the original.... he did seem to understand.

If you haven't seen these films.. you should. It almost magical when watching an old film like this, and being totally engrossed in the characters, that they've all passed on. For example, James Gleason was born in 1882, and Claude Rains was born in 1889. Of course there are always exceptions, such as 'Gone With The Wind' star Olivia de Havilland... thankfully alive and sharp at 103. I had not realized that Evelyn Keyes was also in 'Gone With The Wind', in the roll of Suellen O'Hara. The original film script was based on Harry Segall's play 'Heaven Can Wait' from 1938.

As anything you’d ever likely find. Then, mankind discovered the atom, followed by what atoms were made of, what the things that made atoms were made of, and so on and so forth until we reached the bottom. So is this true? Have we really found the bottom limit of existence? If so, what are the smallest levels of reality?The atom is what many people refer to when they’re asked to describe something small, like your ex-husband’s brain, or the amount of spread left in the tub after your selfish roommate had eight slices of toast for breakfast.

A quark is a type of dairy product made from warm, soured milk until it curdles. The milk is strained, and it is technically classified as a fresh, acid-set cheese. Wait. I think I’ve got the wrong type of quark here.A neutrino is another elementary particle just like a quark, but its mass is the smallest of all and was once thought to be absolute zero.The Planck Length is the limit of the scale at which our accepted ideas of time, space, gravity and reality make sense.


************ 


An atom is the smallest constituent unit of ordinary matter that has the properties of a chemical element. Every solid, liquid, gas, and plasma is composed of neutral or ionized atoms. (Wikipedia)

"....cells are structures made up of billions of molecules, and each molecule is composed of atoms (in turn, atoms are comprised of subatomic particles called protons, electrons, and neutrons and those are made of even smaller particles called quarks)." -- James McInnes (Quora)


************


The hard vacuum of outer space is apparently not made up of atoms, although I'm not certain of this. However, everything on our Earth and sky is made up of atoms (stone, water, air, etc.). Biological cells pertain to living matter only. To put it all into to some kind of scale, there are approximately 37 trillion cells in the human body, each made up of billions of molecules, which are made up of varying numbers of atoms, and the approximate number of atoms in a human body is a number which can only be described or written as a 7 with 27 zeros behind it.

I suspect that it's entirely possible that our entire universe is part of an incomprehensibly larger scale, and the sub-atomic level is made up of incomprehensibly smaller scale. Therefore intelligent beings somewhere within the infinitely smaller scale; one second to us could be a billion years to them; or a billion years to us could be one second to beings somewhere within the infinitely larger scale.

The first full-length album by a young outstanding melodic doom death metal band includes seven compositions connected through a chain of various soul experiences induced by long stay in loneliness and reflection. Panic fear and sense of persecution evolve to peace and solitude in order to come back.

This emotional stream transforms to musical structure, in which oppressive, gloomy guitars and atmospheric keyboards landscapes alternate with rhythmic riffs intertwined with a powerful growl. This picture is enriched by dreamy guitar solos and acoustic interludes. The material was recorded and mixed at the Blacklight Recording Studio (Khors, Leshakov, Luna, Semargl).

There have been quite a few documentary series regarding the subject of "cults." One that I thought was particularly interesting was ID's 'Deadly Devotion'. It focused on the less-known cults. Of course, the whole thing is something of a joke since "cults" permeate the highest rungs of our society.

I recall when I was about 13, I was on a ship on Lake Tahoe. I threw an ice cube into the lake, and my uncle told me that it wasn't good to do that. What he really meant is that it wasn't good for me to even think about throwing anything into a body of water... especially that one. It's hard to believe that so many people worldwide would actually throw garbage into the ocean! The plastic degrades into smaller and smaller pieces, and it gets eaten by fish, who may get eaten by larger fish, and the plastic enters our food system... and it just keeps accumulating each year at a massive rate. I read where it could be possible to create huge ocean vessels which could function like moving swimming pool filters. Maybe the UN could actually make itself useful and serve as a vanguard with this huge problem.

State of the Vampire Community, Oct. 2018

Michelle Belanger reviews the origins, development, current state, and future of the vampire community. Hosted by the Vampire Court of Austin at the Daniel H. Caswell House in Austin, TX.

You've seen me, Michelle Belanger, on shows like Paranormal State, Paranormal Lockdown, and Monsters and Mysteries in America, plus many others over the years. Enjoy free content on this channel as I teach about psychic protection, spirit communication, demonology, psychic vampires, and more!

Why Vampire?


************


~Welcome to the website of Michelle Belanger~

"until you make the unconscious conscious,
it will direct your life
and you will call it fate."
~C. G. Jung


************


In this lecture, Michelle Belanger mentions an organization called Temple of the Vampire. According to Occult Wiki....

Temple of the Vampire

The Temple of the Vampire was founded as a new religious organization in 1989 to explore the positive aspects of the Vampire mythos. The Temple states that it "embraces only those aspects of the Vampire mythos that include a love and respect for all life, physical immortality, individual elegance, proven wisdom, civilized behavior, worldly success, and personal happiness."

The organization's goal is "empowering individuals to achieve independent control over their lives through wealth, health, personal power, and unlimited life extension." It was registered as a religion within the United States in order to offer "legal protection of religion under the First Amendment of the U.S. Constitution.”


************


Temple of the Vampire seems to have something of a large internet presence. I can understand the Goth thing a bit... that there is beauty in dark themes. For example, the night is beautiful, a graveyard on a late afternoon amid dark cloud cover can be beautiful. It just seems to me that the Vampire movement has some logical contradictions. For example, in the above lecture, she talks about using people for their energy--feeding off of them--then she talks about their "rights." The right to be who they are, Constitutional rights, etc. So, what gives with that?

Unlike Luciferianism, which has a very practical application; Satanism, which could be interpreted as a worship of nature or the self; or "witchcraft"/neopaganism, which is often about energy, healing, and ritual.... Vampirism seems to clearly be about "feeding off of others" for personal gain. Do I have that wrong? The above lecture seemed to be crystal clear about that. It does not appear that she is a person on the fringe of Vampirism giving everyone a bad name; she is the standard.

It's more like fetishism and fantasy role-playing. Unlike even dark occultists, who appear serious about what they believe, Vampires who are interviewed have a certain neurotic behavior as if "acting"... and sometimes as if their play-acting a certain parody of themselves as "folkloric vampires"... and almost to the point where they seem to look as though they want to make you laugh!

I do think there are types of metaphysical vampire beings in nature, but that's a different thing. I don't think that there was any ancient vampire or werewolf cults. I do think that there were warrior traditions where, prior to battle, men would try to bring the beast within them... outward. Lastly, Michelle Belanger compared "folkloric vampires" to "folkloric witches".... as if to imply that they're both sort've in the same boat... slandered. The difference is that there were magickal traditions in the ancient world, and they either carried on into the present, or more likely were revived as they were already a part of our ancestral memory; however, there never were "human vampires" or "vampire cults"... until more recent times.

There seem to be real metaphysical vampires, which are apparently very dangerous. If you encounter anything metaphysical which is unrecognizable, it's best to avoid it. It's also probably best not to "thrill seek" them out... as dark entities have been known to follow those who do on occasion. All we can do is ask for and be worthy of our own protective spirits.

S y n o p s i s

The authors of Civilization One return, bringing new evidence about the Moon that will shake up our world. Christopher Knight and Alan Butler realized that the ancient system of geometry they presented in their earlier, breakthrough study works as perfectly for the Moon as it does the Earth. They found a consistent sequence of integer numbers that they can apply to every major aspect of the Moon; no such pattern emerges for any other planet or moon in the solar system.

In addition, Knight and Butler discovered that the Moon possesses few or no heavy metals and has no core- something that should not be possible. Their persuasive conclusion: if higher life only developed on Earth because the Moon is exactly what it is and where it is, it becomes unreasonable to cling to the idea that the Moon is a natural object  - an idea with profound implications.

Trump Has Deep State Terrified – Kevin Shipp

The very people that have been attacking Donald Trump are now feeling the Trump counter attack.  Former top CIA officer Kevin Shipp says, “They are terrified, they are terrified right now.  They did not expect Trump to do what he is doing now.  The reason they tried to get him even before he was elected is they knew he was uncontrollable, and they knew if he got in there, they would not be able to manipulate him, and that is exactly what’s happening.

There are some people, and there is no doubt about it, that are running scared right now. . . . Donald Trump is questioning the Deep State and the shadow government.  He’s rocking that place left and right.  The news media is terrified of that.  Their editors are telling them to attack him just like they are attacking him from the inside.  It’s just dirty pool because they want him taken out.”

In closing, Shipp says, “Trump is making tremendous progress despite tremendous resistance.  They have already done a character assassination on him, and I think they could go further than that. . . . Trump is making progress, and he has them running scared.”

Tonight, we discuss how a secret cabal of influential families, working through the Freemasons and later the Grange, planned the American Revolution and set the stage for the layout of Washington, D.C. according to the principles of sacred geometry.

Exposes the esoteric influences behind the National Grange Order of Husbandry

Examines the sacred design and hidden purpose of the Washington Monument

Reveals how the three obelisks in New York City depict the stars of Orion's Belt

Explains how every baseball diamond is actually a temple to the Goddess

In America: Nation of the Goddess, Alan Butler and Janet Wolter reveal how a secret cabal of influential "Venus" families with a lineage tracing back to the Eleusinian Mysteries has shaped the history of the United States since its founding. The evidence for such incredible assertions comes from American institutions such as the National Grange Order of Husbandry and from the man-made landscape of the United States where massive structures and whole cities conform to an agenda designed to elevate the feminine within religion and society.

The guests explain how the Venus families, working through the Freemasons and later the Grange, planned the American Revolution and the creation of the United States. It was this group who set the stage for the Founding Fathers to create Washington, D.C., according to the principles of sacred geometry, with an eye toward establishing the New Jerusalem. The guests explore the sacred design of the Washington Monument, revealing its occult purpose and connections to the heavens.

They reveal how the obelisks in New York City depict the stars of Orion's Belt just like the Giza pyramids and how the site of one of them, St. Paul's Chapel, is the American counterpart to Rosslyn Chapel in Scotland. Exposing the strong esoteric influences behind the establishment of the Grange in the United States, they connect this apparently conservative order of farmers to the Venus families and trace its lineage back to the Cisterians, who were a major voice in the promotion of the Crusades and the establishment of the Knights Templar.

The guests conclude with the startling revelation that nearly every city in America has a temple to the Goddess hidden in plain sight--their baseball diamonds--exposing the extent to which the Venus families are still at work behind the scenes.

National Grange of the Order of Patrons of Husbandry

The Grange, officially named The National Grange of the Order of Patrons of Husbandry, is a fraternal organization in the United States that encourages families to band together to promote the economic and political well-being of the community and agriculture. The Grange, founded after the Civil War in 1867, is the oldest American agricultural advocacy group with a national scope. The Grange actively lobbied state legislatures and Congress for political goals, such as the Granger Laws to lower rates charged by railroads, and rural free mail delivery by the Post Office.

In 2005, the Grange had a membership of 160,000, with organizations in 2,100 communities in 36 states. It is headquartered in Washington, D.C., in a building built by the organization in 1960. Many rural communities in the United States still have a Grange Hall and local Granges still serve as a center of rural life for many farming communities.

'Frozen in Time' - Italian Hall disaster - Part III

The Italian Hall and the Calumet Theatre

Christmas Eve 1913 in Calumet was meant to be a time of laughter, fun and presents for union miners and their families. There'd been a labor strike on for five months at that point, and it was high time for a little holiday cheer. The women's union group knew it, so it organized a massive holiday party for that night, held upstairs at the Italian Hall, a large red brick building at the corner of Elm and Seventh Streets.

More than six hundred people packed into the building for the festivities. The majority were children, either with their parents, their siblings or their friends. At the start, it was a fabulous time. The children sang Christmas carols, dancing and laughing with their friends. Santa had just come in, and kids were pushing to the stage to receive their gifts from under the big Christmas tree. Sadly, those presents would never make their way home.

Shortly after Santa arrived, a large bearded man pushed open the door to the hall and screamed, "Fire!" The spark of fear moved fast, and suddenly everyone was rushing to the one exit: a narrow staircase heading down to the front door of the building. The fire escape mostly went unnoticed in the mayhem. Terror propelled the revelers forward, shoving and pushing to the door, knocking over and trampling smaller bodies and the adults who stooped to pick them up. Some were crushed to death against the door of a cloakroom next to the staircase.

But those who made it to the stairs first had the worst fate. In the rush to escape, both children and adults were shoved from the steps and thrown down the stairs, landing against closed doors at the bottom. It continued in that fashion—whoever hit the landing was tossed into the stairway—and bodies piled atop one another. Newspapers at the time reported that the stairwell was filled to the ceiling with suffocating and crushed people. The doors at the bottom never opened to let anyone out.

The mayhem only lasted a few moments before those present realized that there was no fire, but it was long enough for massive casualties. All told, seventy-three people lost their lives that night by crushing or suffocation—fifty-nine children and fourteen adults. The youngest victim was only two years old.

The man who raised the fire alarm was never found. True to the union disputes at the time, rumors swirled that he was wearing an anti-union button. Many thought that he was sent by the mine bosses to break up the party as retaliation for the miners not working. Today, it is still one of the Upper Peninsula's biggest unsolved crimes.

Not much of the Italian Hall remains today, save for the arched doorway that still stands at the same spot, a folding chair from the event space and a single step from the stairs where so many met their fate. The step and chair are part of an exhibit at the Calumet Visitor Center; to place your hand on the step is to make a physical connection with the historic tragedy. You can almost feel the wrenching emotion felt by so many on the night of that party pulsing through your hand as you touch it.

A similar intensity fills the air at the actual site of the hall, where the arched doorway remains as part of a memorial park. Although the building itself is no longer there, the community honors the spirits of the dead inside with seventy-three luminaries, lit every Christmas Eve on a path on the way to the arch.

After the catastrophe, bodies of the dead were moved a block away to the Red Jacket Town Hall and Opera House, now the Calumet Theatre, which worked as a temporary morgue. It took hours to identify all the bodies, compounded by false recognitions from distraught parents amid all the confusion and chaos. Mothers in the street were screaming out for their lost children in the hopes they had survived, while inside, parents were taking away bodies of what they thought were their own children, only to return with the body later after finding theirs alive and well.

More than twenty thousand people came to Calumet for the victims' mass burial on December 28, 1913. Caskets had been shipped in from surrounding towns, and simple pine boxes were also constructed for burials. At the nearby Lakeview Cemetery, striking miners dug trench graves for all the bodies. A handful of local churches hosted funerals. Afterward, everyone filed outside, marching down Pine Street in a massive procession of mourners, with union members carrying caskets of children and horse- drawn hearses holding adult coffins. Thousands walked with the procession to the cemetery, where a multilingual graveside service continued past sunset and into the evening.
