Houdini to be Exhumed

Eric Weiss called himself "Houdini" after his mentor, the French magician Jean Eugène Robert-Houdin. Houdin used his trickery for what some might seem as a direputable purpose: helping the French colonial govt preserve their rule in Algeria.

Houdini was a magician, but also a Skeptic investigator, similar in style to James Randi, who was born two years after Houdini's death. He subjected Spiritualist mediums to trials and played tricks to catch them out. Like Randi, he also offered the incentive of a cash prize to anyone who could prove their skills. He was once a good friend of the writer of the Sherlock Holmes stories, Arthur Conan-Doyle, but they fell out over this issue because Doyle was an ardent Spiritualist. (Seems strange and sad that their friendship should end over a difference of opinion. If I rejected everyone who differed with me I'd be the lonliest man on Earth!)

There's a rumour going round that Houdini's death, at the age of just 52, was not by appendicitis as supposed, but by murder. He was alleged to have been killed by disgruntled Spiritualists, like M Lamar Keene.

I wonder how this will turn out. I'll keep an eye on it.

I wonder what James Randi's connections and hidden agendas are!

Houdini was definitely a denier of all things unordinary and the elite I think have a vested interest in that. This was put very well in a passage from a novel:

… But there may be a deeper more fundamental reason. I’ve found, in my experience, that governments seem to have an almost reflex-like aversion to all the things that you might describe as ‘paranormal’ or ‘out-of-the-ordinary.’ Things like ghosts or UFO’s, or events like this one, which rock the boat of conventional worldviews. They will attempt to deny, reject and suppress information on any phenomenon that could lead people to question the reality of the banal, three-up-two-down existence which we live in. I think they need us to be quiet, uninspired and bored in order to rule us.

Normality. The this-world-is-all-there-is, life's-a-bitch-and-then-you-die mentailty acts like the blinkers on a horse. Horses are blinkered in order to focus their attention on wherever their driver is pointing their head with the reins. If the horse could see the lush field of grass over the fence, or the bag of oats in the back of a passing van, it would be distracted from what the driver wants it to do, simply keep its eyes on the hard, ugly, boring road get on with pulling its cart.

The presence of the supernatural takes the blinkers off our eyes and lets us see the field beyond the road. I don't know if Houdini was knowing keeping the blinkers on, or whether he was simply blinkered himself. But the effect was much the same. And he did emulate, and name himself after, a man who held the natives of the French empire in bondage.

Houdini was in with "them" got sick of "them" so they killed him as Houdini was becoming dangerous to "them",houdini was warning people of the black magic hex that new age groupies sign up to,theres loads of people that have a hex on them,you can spot them they say retard things like good and evil dont exist,thats the hex

like John Lennon was in with "them" got sick of "them" so they wiped him out with one of their "lone nut" killers

I wonder what Houdini did after he died. When he found himself still in existance, did he feel any remorse for all the grief he'd given Spiritualists when all this time they were right about Life-After-Death? I think he went into denial and became a lost soul, wandering through the ether, unable to find a way to get out of the Earth plain. Eventually, after two years of wandering in the wilderness of limbo, he was reincarnated, into this man:

Houdinis death has odd written all over it,he wanted to escape the coven and go turn coat as he knew God was real,so NWO agents killed him and blamed it on spiritualists,it has cover up all over this case,it brings to mind he who lives by the sword....

Spiritualists are mostly conmen and full of it at worst but killers,i dont think so

Houdini must of had a spat with his "masters"
