Trump also met with Prince William at the UK ambassador’s residence in Paris following the ceremony. “He’s doing a fantastic job,” Trump said of Prince William, calling the British heir to the throne a “good man.”

First lady Jill Biden also attended the Notre Dame ceremony, wrapping up her last official state trip abroad, while President Joe Biden opted to stay in the US. The first lady did not, however, visit the Élysée Palace or attend any high-profile meetings.

Saturday’s trip came a week after Trump announced his selection of son-in-law Jared Kushner’s father, real estate developer Charles Kushner, to serve as the next US ambassador to France. Charles Kushner was pardoned by Trump in 2020 after pleading guilty in 2004 to 16 counts of tax evasion, one count of retaliating against a federal witness and another count of lying to the Federal Election Commission.

Macron was not the first G7 leader to huddle with Trump since the election. Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau flew to Florida and dined with him at Mar-a-Lago on November 29.

Over dinner that night, Trump — during a discussion on his proposed tariffs — joked that Canada avoid any pain by becoming the 51st US state, two sources briefed on the conversation told CNN.

“The president was teasing us,” Canadian Public Safety Minister Dominic LeBlanc, who was seated at the same table, told reporters in Ottawa this week. “It was, of course, on that issue, in no way a serious comment.”

'Bigfoot' = evolution/missing link
Michael Jackson = one-man 'evolution'

[MJ's ever-changing face]

Werewolf = man-beast = Bigfoot

Etymology: The first part, wer, translates as "man"... The second half, wulf, is the ancestor of modern English "wolf"; in some cases it also had the general meaning "beast."

His was an unnatural evolution (plastic surgeries, etc.). What about ours? Is human evolution natural? If not, has the Moon had a hand in it?

We can almost hear the whisper: 'Human evolution is a hoax':

Bigfoot, giant foot, giants... Genesis 6, the Nephilim, heaven-earth interbreeding, i.e. human genetic manipulation ('guided evolution'):

A monstrous Sin deemed irreversible, Earth had to be cleansed by a Great Flood.

Sin is the name of a Sumerian (and Minaean) god of the Moon...
Still standing after the Flood as 'Noah'.

A forbidden 'lunar strain' of mankind...
A 'Diana bloodline'.

Diana = Bigfoot = Nephilim = Noah

Argentina is both a moon...

• 'Argentina' means 'silver' traditionally represented by symbol for Moon

...and a Bigfoot:

• Argentina is geographically Patagonia meaning 'land of the big feet'

Jun 24 Gov. Sanford admits to extramarital affair
with Argentine woman

For all intents and purposes a missing person from June 18 until 24 (i.e. around Prince William's birthday), Governor Sanford spent five days 'crying in Argentina' with 'Maria'...

Maria = Mary = Madonna

Madonna singing 'Don't Cry For Me Argentina'

...in 'Evita' (1996), playing Maria Eva Duarte de Peron, First Lady of Argentina from 1946 to 1952, a Diana-like beloved female figure who died young at the age of 33 (Diana was 36 when she died).

Maria/Mary = Marianne

She is essentially Lady Liberty standing gracefully with her torch in New York and Paris very near where Princess Diana was killed marked by a torch.

She is interchangeable with Columbia - the feminine personification of the United States. It was in the South Carolina state capital Columbia that Gov. Sanford revealed his Argentine affair... echoed by a train collision in the District of Columbia (Washington DC) on June 22:

'Metro' means 'meter' in Spanish, Italian, Portuguese, etc. The meter is historically defined as 1/10,000,000 of the distance between the North Pole and the equator through Paris, or in other words the Paris Meridian between the North Pole and the equator. The Paris Meridian is also the 'Rose Line' (an esoteric concept popularized by The Da Vinci Code) i.e. a 'Red Line'...

DC Metro Red Line = French/Columbian Rose Line

...traditionally implying the Blood Royal/Sangraal or the Marian/Columbian Bloodline of the Holy Grail.

In Bloodline of the Holy Grail Laurence Gardner writes of the House of Stuart, the royal bloodline to which Princess Diana and her children belong (pp. 344-5):

Feb 11, 2013: Pope Benedict XVI announces resignation
Feb 15, 2013: Major meteor impact in Chelyabinsk, Russia

As discussed in Part 1 the very first foreign land he officially visited as the pope was... Rio de Janeiro.

Jul 23 Prince William and Kate debut royal baby boy

1. Prince Charles
2. Prince William
3. Prince George (William's baby)

It just so happens that Pope Francis's real name is also "George". (Full name: Jorge Mario Bergoglio.) And George Michael just died on Christmas, the biggest Christian holiday mere days before New Year's Day.

Perhaps there is something special about Prince George? I talked extensively about the "Grail bloodline" symbolism surrounding the British royal family, particularly on the Diana side and Prince William, in my 2011 article "Lucifer's Destiny".

 

Perhaps this year (2017) the Pope and/or the Queen will die/exit which will trigger a chain reaction that leads to:

• the FALL of the Roman Catholic Church
• the RISE of the "Holy Grail" via British Royal Family after QE2

This duality would make a lot of multicontextual sense since the Holy Grail tradition has a lot - if not is all about - the Gnostic/Hermetic/Egyptian underground stream, the "religion" or philosophy (as well as bloodlines in some capacity) embodied in the figure of Isis, suppressed by the Roman Christianity which came into power via Constantin the Great. I'm not saying the bloodline of Princess Diana (Prince William, Prince George, etc.) has to be literally of the Holy Grail a la "The Da Vince Code", but even just a symbolic rise of "King Arthur" in this manner would be... well, symbolic of "Isis rising".

Isis is Sirius, and Sirius is "The Star", which is tarot card #17 as in 2017.

Sir Francis Drake (c. 1540 – 28 January 1596) was an English explorer and privateer best known for making the second circumnavigation of the world in a single expedition between 1577 and 1580 (being the first English expedition to accomplish this). Having started as a simple seaman, in 1588 he was part of the fight against the Spanish Armada as a vice-admiral.

At an early age, Drake was placed into the household of a relative, William Hawkins, a prominent sea captain in Plymouth. In 1572, he set sail on his first independent mission, privateering along the Spanish Main. Drake's circumnavigation began on 15 December 1577. He crossed the Pacific Ocean, until then an area of exclusive Spanish interest, and laid claim to New Albion, plundering coastal towns and ships for treasure and supplies as he went. He arrived back in England on 26 September 1580. Elizabeth I awarded Drake a knighthood in 1581 which he received aboard his galleon the Golden Hind.

Drake's circumnavigation inaugurated an era of conflict with the Spanish and in 1585, the Anglo-Spanish War began. Drake was in command of an expedition to the Americas that attacked Spanish shipping and ports. When Philip II sent the Spanish Armada to England in 1588 as a precursor to its invasion, Drake was second-in-command of the English fleet that fought against and repulsed the Spanish fleet. A year later he led the English Armada in a failed attempt to destroy the remaining Spanish fleet.

Drake was a Member of Parliament (MP) for three constituencies: Camelford in 1581, Bossiney in 1584, and Plymouth in 1593. Drake's exploits made him a hero to the English, but his privateering led the Spanish to brand him a pirate, known to them as El Draque ("The Dragon" in old Spanish).^[1] He died of dysentery after his failed assault on Panama in January 1596.

Francis Drake was born at Crowndale Farm in Tavistock, Devon, England.^[4] His birth date is not formally recorded – such writers as E. F. Benson have claimed that he was born while the Six Articles of 1539 were in force,^[5] but British naval historian Julian Corbett, writing of William Camden's account, on which this information is based, writes that "As a slip of memory, too, we must put down his difficult assertion that Edmund Drake was driven from Devonshire during a persecution under the Six Articles Act of 1539."^[6] His birth date is estimated from the wording of texts in contemporary sources such as: "Drake was two and twenty when he obtained the command of the Judith"^[7] (1566). This would date his birth to 1544. A date of c. 1540 is suggested from two portraits: one a miniature, painted by Nicholas Hilliard in 1581, when he was allegedly 42, which would place his birth c. 1539, while the other, painted in 1594 when he was said to be 52,^[8] would give a birth year of c. 1541.

He was the eldest of the twelve sons^[9] of Edmund Drake (1518–1585), a Protestant farmer, and his wife, Mary Mylwaye. The first son was said to have been named after his godfather, Francis Russell, 2nd Earl of Bedford.^[10]

Due to religious persecution during the Prayer Book Rebellion in 1549, the Drake family fled from Devon to Kent. There Drake's father obtained an appointment to minister to the men in the King's Navy. He was ordained deacon and was made vicar of Upchurch Church on the Medway.^[11]

At an early age, Drake was placed into the household of a relative, sea-captain William Hawkins of Plymouth, and began his seagoing training as an apprentice on Hawkins' boats.^[12] By 18, he was a purser, according to the English chronicler Edmund Howes,^[13] and in the 1550s, Drake's father found the young man a position with the owner and master of a small barque, one of the small traders plying between the Medway River and the Dutch coast. Drake likely engaged in commerce along the coast of England, the Low Countries and France.^[14] The ship's master was so satisfied with the young Drake's conduct that, being unmarried and childless at his death, he bequeathed the barque to Drake.^[15]

In 1562, the West African slave trade was a duopoly dominated by the Portuguese and the Spanish. Sir John Hawkins devised a plan to break into that trade, and enlisted the aid of colleagues and family to finance his first slave voyage. Drake was not part of that group of financiers,^[16] though his presence as one of hundreds of seamen on Hawkins's first two slaving voyages has been assumed.^[17] There is some anecdotal evidence to support Drake serving as a common seaman on the first two voyages, and good evidence of his presence for the last two of four slaving voyages made by Hawkins' ships between 1562 and 1569.^[12][18][19]

In 1562, Hawkins sailed to the coast of the Sierra Leone, seized Portuguese slave ships, and sold the Africans in the Spanish Indies.^[20] It was highly profitable, so for his second slave voyage in 1564, Hawkins gained Queen Elizabeth I's support. She lent him one of her ships, Jesus of Lübeck, which served as his flagship.^[21] Hawkins attacked an African native town and sold many of its inhabitants in Spanish ports on the Caribbean mainland, making another large profit for himself, the Queen and the consortium of investors from her court.^[17][20] Sources vary on the dates and the age of Drake at the time;^[22] Harry Kelsey says he was twenty years old, "[a]ccording to Howes" (in reference to the English chronicler Edmund Howes writing in 1615).^[23] Drake was not a member of that consortium, but the crew would have received a small share of the profits.^[24][25] Based on this association, scholar Kris Lane lists Drake as one of the first English slave traders.^[26]

The Spanish and Portuguese were aggrieved that the English had entered into the slave trade and were selling slaves to their colonies despite being forbidden from doing so. Queen Elizabeth I, under pressure to avoid an armed conflict, forbade Hawkins from going to sea for a third slave voyage. In response, he set up a slave voyage with a relative, John Lovell, in command in 1566.^[17] Drake accompanied Lovell on this voyage.^[17] The voyage was unsuccessful, as more than 90 enslaved Africans were released without payment.^[27]

In 1567, Drake accompanied Hawkins on their next and last joint voyage.^[28] The crew attempted to capture slaves around Cape Verde, but failed. Hawkins allied himself with two local kings in Sierra Leone who asked for help against their enemies in exchange for half of any captives they took. Attacking from both sides, they took several hundred prisoners, though Kelsey says the kings kept "the larger share of slaves and dared Hawkins to do anything about it".^[29]

Events worsened for the fleet as it faced storms, Spanish hostility, armed conflict, and finally a hurricane that separated one ship from the rest, and it had to find its own way home.^[30] The remaining ships were forced into the port of San Juan de Ulúa near Vera Cruz so they could make repairs. Soon afterward the newly appointed viceroy of New Spain, Martín Enríquez de Almanza, arrived with a fleet of ships. While still negotiating to resupply and repair, Hawkins' ships were attacked by the Spanish ships in what became known as the Battle of San Juan de Ulúa.^[31] The battle ended in an English defeat with all but two of the English ships lost. The Spanish launched a fireship against Hawkins' flagship Jesus of Lübeck, and the crew of Minion in panic and fear cut the lines securing them to Jesus. Hawkins was among those who jumped from the flagship's bulwarks to Minion's decks.^[32] Drake, by this time the captain of Judith, fled leaving Hawkins behind. Hawkins escaped on Minion and limped back to England with dozens of his men dying along the way,^[33] and arriving with a crew of just 15.^[34] Hundreds of English seamen were abandoned.^[35]

After arriving back in England, Hawkins accused Drake of desertion and of stealing the treasure they had accumulated. Drake denied both accusations asserting he had distributed all profits among the crew and that he had believed Hawkins was lost when he left.^[25][36] The bitter end of the fourth voyage turned Drake's life in a different direction: thereafter he would not pursue trading and slaving but would, instead, dedicate himself to attacking Spanish possessions wherever he found them.^[37] Drake's hostility towards the Spanish is said to have started with the battle and its aftermath.^[38]

The voyage of 1567–1569 was Drake's last association with slaving. In total, approximately 1,200 Africans were enslaved on these four voyages,^[39] and an estimated three times as many Africans were killed (based on the contemporaneous accounts of slavers).^[19] On the issue of slaving, scholar John Sugden writes that "Drake was in his twenties and did not question what his elders accepted", but must share some culpability for his participation.^[40]
