Gateway Arch, St. Louis Missouri
The Gateway Arch, designed by Finnish-born, American-educated architect Eero Saarinen, was erected to commemorate President Thomas Jefferson’s Louisiana Purchase of 1803 and to celebrate St. Louis’ central role in the rapid westward expansion that followed.
As the market and supply point for fur traders and explorers—including the famous Meriwether Lewis and William Clark—the town of St. Louis grew exponentially after the War of 1812, when great numbers of people began to travel by wagon train to seek their fortunes west of the Mississippi River. In 1947-48, Saarinen won a nationwide competition to design a monument honoring the spirit of the western pioneers. In a sad twist of fate, the architect died of a brain tumor in 1961 and did not live to see the construction of his now-famous arch, which began in February 1963. Completed in October 1965, the Gateway Arch cost less than $15 million to build. With foundations sunk 60 feet into the ground, its frame of stressed stainless steel is built to withstand both earthquakes and high winds. An internal tram system takes visitors to the top, where on a clear day they can see up to 30 miles across the winding Mississippi and to the Great Plains to the west. In addition to the Gateway Arch, the Jefferson Expansion Memorial includes the Museum of Westward Expansion and the Old Courthouse of St. Louis, where two of the famous Dred Scott slavery cases were heard in the 1860s.
The image on this page is an animated image of the construction of the Gateway Arch between February 29, 1964 – October 28, 1965. There are nine images in this animation that show the Arch at different points during its construction.
Today, some 4 million people visit the park each year to wander its nearly 100 acres, soak up some history and take in the breathtaking views from Saarinen’s gleaming arch.

7 Therefore Jesus said again, “Very truly I tell you, I am the gate for the sheep. 8 All who have come before me are thieves and robbers, but the sheep have not listened to them. 9 I am the gate; whoever enters through me will be saved. They will come in and go out, and find pasture.

Relativity on the Hudson
Flight 1549, Time Travel & Templar Bigfoot
by Goro (goroadachi.com & supertorchritual.com)
September 14, 2010 *(1/12/ 2010)
A blast from the past...
Flight 1549
'Miracle on the Hudson'...
Jan 15, '09 US Airways Flight 1549 Crashes In Hudson River
Jan 18, '09 Jetliner lifted out of Hudson River
...was a 'time travel' event
reenacting
Planet of the Apes
...with special guest
Abraham Lincoln
- Jan 15: Flight 1549 crash (Planet of the Apes)
- Jan 17: Obama train ride to DC commemorating Lincoln
- Jan 18: Obama concert & speech at Lincoln Memorial
- Jan 20: Obama taking presidential oath on Lincoln's Bible
5-Day Gap
from Hudson Miracle to Obama inauguration expressing
'Time Travel'
via clocks shown in (original)
Planet of the Apes
('POTA')
POTA Time Information:
- Earth Time: ~March 26, 2673 (~Mar 23-27 during scene)
- Ship Time: July 14, 1972
- Estimated departure time: ~Jan 14, 1972 ('6 months' ago)
Reflected in Flight 1549 departure/crash on January 15
- Days elapsed on ship since departure: ~182.5 days
- Days elapsed on Earth since departure: ~256,107 days
We're dealing with two separate time streams here due to time dilation experienced on the spaceship traveling near the speed of light, i.e. time is slowed down on the ship per Einstein's
Special Theory of Relativity.
(This is why the astronauts comes back to a future Earth ruled by 'Bigfoots'.)
Based on the data provided we can calculate the precise time ratio:
- 1 day on POTA ship = ~1403.326 days on earth
- 1 day on earth = ~1.026 minutes on POTA ship
We now apply this to Flight 1549.
The actual flight time data:
- Flight 1549 Departure: ~3:25:30 pm (+/- 30 sec)
- Flight 1549 Crash: ~3:30:30 pm
- Flight duration: ~5 minutes (+/- 30 sec)
Flight 1549 was in the air for approximately:
5 minutes.
On the POTA spaceship (relative to Earth) that translates to:
5 days.
(NOTE: 1 minute on POTA ship = ~0.97 earth day)
Precisely matching the 5-day gap between Flight 1549 and Obama's inauguration!
- Jan 15: Flight 1549 crash reenacting Planet of the Apes
- Jan 17: Obama train ride to DC mimicking Lincoln
- Jan 18: Obama concert & speech at Lincoln Memorial
- Jan 20: Obama taking presidential oath on Lincoln's Bible

Templar Entanglement
'National Treasure: Book of Secrets' (2007)
A movie all about the Lincoln assassination...
 
...and the Knights Templar & Holy Grail.
An unexpected association dramatically confirmed by Flight 1549 'time travel'...
POTA Time Information:
- POTA spaceship departure date: ~January 14, 1972
- POTA 'Earth Date' in opening scene: ~March 26, 2673
- Elapsed time: ~256,107 days (701 years, 2 months, ~12 days)
Applying the elapsed time to Flight 1549, we get a 'departure date' thus:
Flight 1549 (Jan 15, 2009) - 256,107 days = Oct 28, 1307
FACT: The Knights Templar were arrested in France October 1307 (directly leading to the order's dissolution in 1312)!
- Oct 13, 1307: Large number of Templars arrested in France
- Oct 24, 1307: Grand Master Jacques de Molay confession under torture (later retracted)
It was between 1307 and 1312 that a mysterious Templar artifact called 'Baphomet' surfaced, now popularly associated with the 'Satanic' (inverted) pentagram...
...which is a 'V'...
...which is a 'Holy Grail' symbol popularized by The Da Vinci Code, signifying among other things the womb of Mary.
The Templars are traditionally seen as the 'guardians of the Holy Grail' a la the Arthurian 'Knights of the Round Table' prefiguring them in the grey zone between reality and fiction.
* * *
Templar Bigfoot
Lincoln's assassin John Booth enters the National Treasure: Book of Secrets opening sequence via a close-up shot of his boot or... 'big foot'.
In the same vein Flight 1549 and Obama's inauguration were followed several days later on January 25-26, 2009 by 'The Last Templar' (original TV movie premiering on NBC) which could not be more obsessed with feet/shoes. (There was a hint of time travel as Templar knights were shown roaming the streets of a modern city.)

Accompanied by U2 releasing 'Get on Your Boots' two days prior...
...with a thinly veiled Templar red cross on the cover.
Why?
What's the message behind the 'Templar foot/boot'' signals?
The answer:
King Arthur
...who is at the heart of the Holy Grail continuum.
The name 'Arthur' derives from Arcturus, the brightest star in the constellation Boötes. Regardless of pronunciation ('boh-oh-teez'), that is our Templar Boot right there. Arcturus, after all, represents the left foot of Boötes!
Arthur = Arcturus = left foot of Boötes ('Boots')
King Arthur is a 'Templar Foot/Boot'
But is he a big foot (associated with time travel via POTA)? Most definitely. Again the answer is in his name 'Arthur' which is usually interpreted to mean 'bear-man' just like 'Yeti' - another term for 'Bigfoot' - similarly meaning 'man-bear'!
Arthur = 'bear-man' = 'man-bear' = Yeti = Bigfoot
'Hoax' = 'hocus pocus' = 'hoc est corpus' ('this is the body') = eucharist/Holy Communion = Last Supper, Jesus saying 'this is my body' = Holy Grail/Philosopher's Stone
So on and so forth.
That's the hidden context. Now you know.
The expanded multicontextual awareness helps us go deeper into the rabbit hole and unravel the mystery of the spacetime continuum that is the Holy Grail.
