Folie à Deux: The Tragic Couple

In the dawning days of 1889, as Herman Hollerith’s electric tabulating machine laid the foundation for the information age (January 8), a curious medicinal tonic in Atlanta found its first corporate identity, Coca-Cola, setting the stage for a global refreshment empire (January 15), while the birth of Columbia Phonograph in Washington, D.C. (January 22) ensured that the voices of the age would not merely echo but endure. And then, on January 30th…

In July 1889, as The Wall Street Journal (July 8) began chronicling the pulse of American finance, revolution stirred in Paris with the opening of the International Workers Congress, giving rise to the Second International (July 14). Meanwhile, across the Atlantic, the tides of history nearly turned in Rio de Janeiro, where Emperor Pedro II defied fate and survived an assassination attempt (July 15), his reign momentarily shaken but not undone. A few days later…

Since nobody is dead, we must ask: What was Mary/Elvira doing after 1898? In 1898, Rosa Luxemburg moved to Germany, and soon became a leading figure in the Social Democratic Party of Germany (SPD). Her political activities included teaching Marxist economics at the party’s training school.

The women who coordinated the deployment of characters to move along a storyline, in the 19th and 20th century try to make it as easy as possible for us to detect their entire career across all of their roles. If you’re going to follow a death squad across history., it’s better to follow the one that kills nobody!


A Wise Man, a Welch Man and an Interviewer Walk Into a Supervillain Lair…

As we travel through the disclosures of James Bond and his antagonists, we will look at the stars of the film and their birth set. A birth set is a group of people who come from the same event. We are announced before we are conceived, via an event in our recorded history. Often, these events are tied to important projects and offer a glimpse into the reason why we are required in the future. This study may also reveal “Heroes With a Secret Identity“. One example may not seem convincing, but after you see a few “Crabbs”, you’ll understand what a James Bond Villain truly is!

Joseph Wiseman stars as Dr. No, the main antagonist in the first James Bond film, who sports an advance bionic hand. (1962)

In the 1962 James Bond film “Dr. No”, he operates from a secret base on Crab Key Island, which is located off the coast of Jamaica. The base is underwater and is referred to as the “dragon’s lair“.

Joseph Wiseman was born in Montreal, and soon after, his parents moved to New York. He graduated from John Adams High School with the actor Jack Lord.

Jack Lord joins Joseph Wiseman in Dr. No as Felix Leiter, a character that comes back in later films. He is depicted as a trustworthy ally of Bond and a valuable asset to the British secret service.

Joseph Wiseman was once called
The spookiest actor in the American theatre”.

And then, there was George…


born on May 15, 1918 (d. 2009)

Joseph Wiseman

Canadian-American theatre, film, and television actor who starred as the villain Julius No in the first James Bond film, Dr. No, in 1962

born on May 10, 1918 (d. 1954)

George Welch

World War II flying ace, a Medal of Honor nominee, and an experimental aircraft pilot after the war
Lieutenant Welch shaking hands with President Roosevelt, 1942

George Welch was a World War II flying ace, a Medal of Honor nominee, and an experimental aircraft pilot after the war. He was present at the battle of Pearl Harbour and was thanked personally for his service by President Roosevelt in 1942.

George was born 5 days after Joseph, and passed away on October 12, 1954 after his 100A-1-NA Super Sabre disintegrated and crashed in Rosamond Lake in the Mojave Desert about 45 miles (72 km) north of Los Angeles.

And then, there was Mike…

Plus Ultra and its Ghost Army produce sets of twins. These twins are almost identical. I have found that there might even be some triplets in the bunch. But when I do, I also find the story of a Superhero With a Secret Identity, or two people who are linked via symbolism and have never been seen in the same room together. I suspect that Joseph Wiseman is George Welch on Bonus Time, serving the process of disclosure, because of Mike Wallace.
