July 20,
1944 and November 22, 1963 Von Stauffenberg - (left) and Hitler
For many
Germans, July 20 is like December 7, September 11 and November 22 is to Americans
- a day to remember that will live in infamy.
July 20,
1944 was the day Nazi German officers tried to kill Hitler, take over the
government in a coup, come to peace terms with the Allies and try to save
Germany from being totally annihilated.
The bomb,
planted under a map table in a Wolf's Lair bunker in the Bavarian Alps by
Colonel Claus Von Stauffenberg, failed to kill Hitler, and resulted in the
arrest of thousands, much like the recent failed coup in Turkey, and the
execution of hundreds, including Von Stauffenberg.
As seen
in the Hollywood movie Valkyrie, in which Tom Cruise portrays Von Stauffenberg,
his Valkyrie plan was broken into phases, the first of which was presented and
actually approved by Hitler. The first phase of Plan Valkyrie called for the
Home Guard army to take over all major government buildings in Germany in the
event of a civil emergency, such as a revolt of the 12 million foreign slave
laborers.
The
second phase of the Valkyrie plan was the assassination of Hitler and his
closest aides, the planting of evidence to blame the assassination on the SS
and Gestapo, and the control of not only government buildings but radio
stations, newspapers and the media so, as Von Stauffenberg put it, "only the
conspiracy speaks."
While the
original Valkyrie plan didn’t succeed because the bomb failed to kill Hitler,
the basic concepts of the plan, as the Higgins Memo mentions, were studied in
detail by the CIA in order to be used against Castro.
Since the
bomb aspect of the Valkyrie plan failed, it can be assumed that that part of
the plan was changed and a more efficient mechanism of death was to be utilized,
- a sniper assault on Castro, shooting him with a high powered rifle as he rode
in an open jeep, a frequent occurrence.
But when
that plan was “disapproved” by higher authority, instead of using that plan to
kill Castro, it was turned on President Kennedy at Dealey Plaza in Dallas.
Besides
the change in use of a sniper attack instead of a bomb, the major difference
between the Valkyrie plan and the Dealey Plaza is that Valkyrie failed,
thousands of suspects were rounded up, arrested, sent to concentration camps or
executed while the Dealey Plaza operation succeeded, and only the innocent
patsy was executed, and no one was held responsible for the crimes associated
with the assassination.

Dear Sir, as far as v. Stauffenberg, please bring to your attention that this brave officer was still basically a Nazi, for instance he did not consider Poles as full-fledged human beings, only 'Untermenschen'.
Hi Bill,
By "coincidence," I just happened to be reading in Loren Coleman's Twilight Language blog when someone emailed me with a link to your blog here. My first impression on seeing your posting was to note that 25 years to the day after the attempt on Hitler was the moon landing on July 20, 1969, an event brought to fruition by the rocket science expertise of Wernher von Braun and his cronies from Operation paperclip.
I then remembered that Loren had actually foreshadowed the day before the mass shooting by James Holmes in the Aurora CO movie theater on July 20, 2012. I copy from his blogpost dated July 19, 2012

Assassinations have been associated with July 20th, as well. In 1944, Adolf Hitler survived an assassination attempt led by German Army Colonel Claus von Stauffenberg, known as Operation Valkyrie, at Wolfsschanze (Wolf's Lair or Wolf's Fort) in the Masurian woods, near Rastenburg, East Prussia, now Ketrzyn, Poland.
In 1951, King Abdullah I of Jordan, a Freemason, who had worked directly with British hero and Freemason T. E. Lawrence of Arabia, was assassinated by a 21-year-old Palestinian, Mustafa Ashu, while attending Friday prayers at the Al-Aqsa Mosque, Jerusalem.
The mysterious death, some say assassination, of the American actor and martial artist Bruce Lee occurred on July 20, 1973. This is the date in 1977, on which the CIA released documents under the Freedom of Information Act revealing it had engaged in mind control experiments, under Project MK-Ultra (1953-1973).
Will any events take place on July 20, 2012, of any import?
