Part of a series I'm doing on occult special dates. OK, I don't know if Jesus was born on September 11th as some say, but He wasn't born on December 25 (it's a pagan holiday called Saturnalia) and He wasn't born in the winter, and it was possibly mid-to-late September. The links presented here differ on the year of His birth (the first says 4 B.C and the second says 3 B.C., although both use the Gospel of Luke to make their point. This link says he was born on September 11, 3 B.C... In looking at what the this link says about the number 11, why that day? Well that's the Gregorian calendar, and it didn't exist in either 3 or 4 B.C., and it's predecessor, the Julian calendar, wasn't used to mark time or holy days by the Israelites in Judea or elsewhere.
Certain numbers have special meaning for occultists, especially Masons. Numbers like 3, 5, 7, 9, 11, 12, 13, and mutiples of 3 and 11 (such as 33 and 39).
9 A.D. The Battle of Teutoburg Forest Begins The great Germanic warrior-hero Arminius, who is known as Hermann, leads allied Germanic tribes to a crushing victory over 3 Roman legions (the XVII, XVIII and XIX) and allied auxiliary forces led by Publius Quinctilius Varus in the Teutoburg Forest in North Germany. This is the last time Rome will attempt to conquer and permanently hold territory beyond the Rhine River. Varus committed suicide during the three days of battle. Arminius had been a hostage as a child, he grew up as a Roman citizen, was trained as a Roman soldier and knew their tactics; but he was always a German and didn't forget the cruelty of the Romans against his and other people.
1297 The Battle of Sterling Bridge Scots under the leadership of William Wallace--"Braveheart", and Andrew Moray defeat an English army in the First War for Scottish Independence. Moray is wounded and dies in November, Wallace goes on to be knighted,engage in guerrilla warfare against the army of Edward I until he is betrayed by John de Menteith (Stewart/Stuart in 1307); which resulted in his execution by being drawn and quartered.
1609 Henry Hudson Discovers Manhatten Island and enters Upper New York Bay The next day he sails up the Hudson River as far as present day Albany. Hudson was working for the Dutch East India Company, looking for a Norwest Passage to China in the ship Half Moon (Halve Maen in Dutch).
1609 Expulsion order of Moriscos announced (muslim Moorish supposed converts to Catholicism) in the city of Valencia. It begins the expulsion of all Moriscos in Spain. The muslim Moors had invaded Spain in 711 and were there for more than 700 years, until the combined armies of Castille and Aragon took Granada, the last Moorish bastion, in 1492.
1649 Siege of Drogheda, Ireland ends Part of the Cromwellian conquest of Ireland, Oliver Cromwell had landed in Ireland in August 1649 to re-conquer it for Parliament after the defeat of the Royalists and the execution of King Charles I in the English Civil War. Cromwell's New Model Army was opposed by a coalition of Royalists defeated in the civil war and an Irish Catholic movement called the Confederate Catholic Association. The Siege of Drogheda began on 3 September 1649 and ended on 11 September with the slaughter of 2800 inhabitants.
1697 Battle of Zenta This was a crushing defeat of Ottoman Turk (muslim) forces in the Balkans by Austrian Hapsburg forces south Zenta (Senta today) in Serbia, who inflicted 30,000 casualties on the Turks at a cost of about 500 men. The defeat forced the Ottoman Empire into losing control of Bosnia (which remains muslim tothis day) and ended their control over large parts of central and eastern Europe with the Treaty of Karlowitz in 1699.
1775 Expedition to capture Quebec City leaves Cambridge Mass under command of Benedict Arnold This mission was undertaken shortly after the revolution started. It was part of a two pronged attack, the other led by Richard Montgomery invading Quebec Province from Lake Champlain. The expedition passed through the Maine wilderness, and was depending on maps made by a man known to have Loyalist sympathies, named Samuel Goodwin, who had been asked by Rueben Colburn, a boat builder from Maine, to provide maps of the area for the expedition. His maps were deliberately misleading and left off crucial information; Colburn had been introduced to Arnold by George Washington and so Arnold presumed that Colburn was reliable. Being from Maine, he should have known or been able to find out Goodwin's sympathies before trusting him. The expedition was an unmitigated disaster, due in no small part to Goodwin and his false maps. Colburn's boats were leaky and defective, he was never paid and it ruined him financially.
1776 Staten Island Peace Conference This peace conference was held at Billop Manor, home of Colonel Christopher Billop, on Long Island. This was shortly after the British capture of Long Island. The participants were three members of the Second Continental Congress--Benjamin Franklin, John Adams and Edward Rutledge, and British Admiral Lord William Howe, commander of the British sea forces (his brother General Richard Howe commanded British land forces). Admiral Lord Howe had insisted on being given diplomatic powers to go with his military authority, and King George III had relutantly agreed, but this was undermined by the insistence of Secretary of State for the Colonies Lord George Germain (formerly Lord George Sackville until 1770) who insisted that no agreement with the American colonies that looked like giving in to American grievences regarding not having representation on tax levies ("No Taxation Without Representation") be made. Admiral Howe's ability and authority to negotiate (he had met with Franklin in 1774 and 1775 over these matters and believed that a solution without further violence could be reached) was severely curtailed by this. Germain had a checkered career, once being court-martialed for refusing to obey orders, and ultimately would be blamed as "the man who lost America"; he was Secretary of State for the Colonies from 1770 to 1782. He was forced out, but given a Viscountcy by the king as a consolation, in early 1782 after the news of the American-French victory at Yorktown, South Carolina arrived in England on 25 November 1781. Prime Minister Frederick North was forced to resign (the first ever British Prime Minister to be forced out by a vote of no-confidence) on 20 March 1782. North had offered an olive branch shortly before this, saying he would remove all disagreeable acts if the "colonies" ended the war, but it was too late, the Americans were no longer interested in redressing grievances but in full independence. Had North not listened to Germain but instead granted Admiral Howe diplomatic authority, America may well have remained British territory. Lord North was the 2nd Earl of Guilford; Guilford County, North Carolina was named after his (supposed) father. Ironically, the Staten Island Peace Conference, which lasted only
three hours, was held on the ninth birthday of Lord North's oldest son, George Augustus North, 3rd Earl of Guilford--11 September 1757 (died on 20 April 1802, 87 years to the day before the birth of Adolph Hitler, whose paternal grandfather was Lionel Nathan Rothschild according to author Greg Hallett in "Hitler Was A British Agent". Hallett says that both Lionel Nathan and his father Nathan Mayer Rothschild fathered children with Queen Victoria, including the future King Edward VII, who was the real father of Winston Churchill; thus making King Edward VII, Edward VIII, George VI and Churchill cousins of Adolph Hitler). Lord was an honorary title for Frederick North, but he bore such a strong resemblence to King George III that many believed he was actually the son of Frederick, Prince of Wales, the father of George III who died in 1751, and King George II died in 1760, thus Prince Frederick's oldest son (George II's grandson) become king. And may have been Prime Minister North's half brother. This was not at all uncommon in British royalty, indeed it was more the rule, before and since.
1777 Battle of Brandywine Creek Pennsylvania. George Washington commits a couple of critical blunders in not protecting his right flank and by not covering two fords of Brandywine Creek, and nearly has his army annihilated. The only reason he doesn't is due to the British lack of cavalry and General Howe being slow to attack on the exposed American right flank, which gave the Americans time to deploy some men on the high ground at Birmingham Meetinghouse. The Americans were forced to retreat to Chester, which was only not a rout (but instead fairly well organized) due to the efforts of one of Alexander Hamilton's boyfriends, the marquis de Lafayette, who was wounded in the leg. As a result of this defeat, the capitol of Philadelphia was captured and held until June of 1778.
1786 The Annapolis Convention Twelve delegates from five states, New York, New Jersey, Delaware, Pennsylvania and Virginia meet at Annapolis, Maryland to "remedy defects" in the Articles of Confederation regarding barriers to trade (commerce) between the 13 states. The convention was held for three days 11 September to 14 September, but it was felt that not enough states were represented to make an agreement, since delegates from Massachusetts, Rhode Island, New Hampshire and North Carolina hadn't arrived in time, and the other four states hadn't sent any delegates at all. The convention produced a report which called for support for another convention in Philadelphia (the national capitol then) in May 1787, which would address the trade problem as well as other issues. This led to the constitutional convention, and shocked and angered some delegates because they felt the true purpose of the convention was to tweek the Articles of Confederation, not to destroy it and create a new document that would create what some thought would become an all powerful national government. This would usurp the rights and authority of the states and become an authoritarian state itself when they had just fought a war for independence, from just such an authoritarian state, which many knew is what Freemason Alexander Hamilton wanted and was promoting. Which is precisely what happened.
