PANTHER-ACROSS-THE-SKY: TECUMSEH & THE NEW
MADRID

http://www.rumormillnews.net/cgi-bin/config.pl?read=6718

This true story reveals a hidden dimension to American History
and Geology which shakes not only the earth, but our very
rational conceptions of the relationship between Science and
Spirit, between Geology and Gaia. This is what I call "Herstory,"
and it is covered up because it forces us to confront certain
political, racial and spiritual realities that are embarrassingly
inconsistent with official dogmas. Yet, any thoughtful person
must give a long pause to contemplate the implications of this
untold tale.

What might any geologist give to know how Tecumseh was able
to predict with such accuracy? Most likely, what a geologist
would have to sacrifice are his own sacrosant beliefs in the
separation of Science and Spirit.

PANTHER-ACROSS-THE-SKY
Tecumseh and the New Madrid Earthquake
/* written 11pm 11/8/91 by David Yarrow */

"The story you are about to be told is true...." Indeed, the three
reponses to this topic are exerpts taken from "The
Frontiersmen," an authentic historical novel describing how the
white man took the Ohio Valley and Kentucky from the Indians.
The events they describe are also recorded in several other
authentic historical novels, one of which is the biography of
Tecumseh entitled "Panther-Across-the-Sky," which,
unfortunately, I've not had the opportunity to read yet.

When I studied Earth Science, I learned about the New Madrid
earthquake -- the most violent and destructive tremor ever to
strike North America in recorded history. Centered in New
Madrid, Illinois, where the Ohio and Missouri rivers meet the
Mississippi, this massive quake severely shook the entire
eastern half of the continent. Chimneys fell all the way up in
Maine from this one. And it wasn't merely a single quake, but a
series of them spanning a period of four months.

The New Madrid quake is especially intriguing not only because
of its unparalleled power, but also because it occurred in an
area which is normally devoid of tectonic activity, including
earthquakes. The implication is that this monster quake
originated far deeper in the North American crust than is usual
for an earthquake.

When I studied American History, I learned about William Henry
Harrison, a U.S. military leader on the western frontier who had
to confront the great Indian leader Tecumseh, who tried in a
prolonged process of diplomnacy to unite the Indian tribes into a
grand confederacy. Although Harrison never actually fought
Tecumseh, he later went on to be elected President of the United
States, largely on the strength of his reputation as a frontier
Indian fighter -- a warrior image that continues to hold great
charisma in the American psyche. Tecumseh, too, was portrayed
in my history lessons as a great and powerful warrior, whereas
he was in truth a diplomat, a peacemaker and, most intriguing of
all, a prophet.

Subject: Tecumseh's Curse

The "Zero Factor" and Tecumseh's Curse

http://www.civil-liberties.com/factoids/july4_02.htm

Some folks believe that the curse of Indian chief Tecumseh has
killed every U.S. President before the end of their term in office,
if
they were elected in a year that ended with 0. The first victim of
the curse was William Henry Harrison, whose troops killed the
Indian chief in 1813.

Harrison, elected in 1840, died of pneumonia after serving 31
days in office.

Lincoln, elected in 1860, assassinated.

Garfield, elected in 1880, assassinated.

McKinley, elected to a second term in 1900, assassinated.

Harding, elected in 1920, died of a stroke in 1923.

Roosevelt, elected to a third term in 1940, died of a cerebral
hemorrhage in 1945.

Kennedy, elected in 1960, assassinated.

Reagan, elected in 1980, survived an attempted assassination.
(Is the curse finally broken? We'll find out sometime in the next
decade!)

Bush was elected in 2000, ? ? ?
