Four Major Tragedies Occur in This Dark Week of April. What Other Tragedies Have Occurred in This Tragic Month?

Chaotic Ramblings
April has to be one of the bloodiest months of the year. After watching the news and doing research, I've come to realize that many massacres and terrible events have occurred during the bloody month of April over the years. I don't really know what to make of it all, but I would love to hear your thoughts and comments.

A breakdown of the most recent atrocities committed during this bizarrely, tragic week of the bloody month of April follows.

April 19, 1993 - Waco Tragedy

Conclusion

Is there something about this time of year that lends itself to madness? Winter is fading and spring is beginning to show itself. Some people believe that long winters can cause a type of madness. Is there any truth to this? Could it be the extra push these lunatics needed to commit these horrible tragedies? I find it very bizarre that this week is the anniversary of so many horrific tragedies. I find it worrisome that this month carries so many tragedies. I have to wonder what else I would find if I were to dig deeper. What do you think?

    April is a particularly heavy month. Jews celebrate Pascha, the escape from Egypt, Christ was crucified and resurrected on the same weekend and at the end of April, Walpurgisnacht (Satanism). Satanists recognize the night of April 30 as a Satanic holiday called Walpurgisnacht. Originally a pagan holiday .... For a complete list see for most religions see:

    well, well, well....IF you TRULY research ALL of these events you will find a common thread....the CIA, FBI, US Federal Govt along WITH THEIR OWNERS THE EUROPEAN & OTHER CENTRAL BANK funded, was involved, trained, entitled ALL the perpetrators, profited from, associated with, provoked, paid off, profited from, IMPLEMENTED ALL THESE TRAGEDIES! Look it UP! Documented HISTORY proves their guilt & plan to profit from the death of those who witness, who whistle blow etc etc for centuries....documented history shows the path to these crimes.....the terrorist are our govt & the central federal reserve bankers who own them, the ROOT of all our woes worldwide & in America....has been for centuries.

    I've been documenting these for years, since my mother died 4/19/76. Along with the major world events as listed, I've had a tremendous amount of personal tragedies in April, as well.

    I don't get to it all the time, but so far, I've got a list 28 items long. My birthday and that of my niece are in April, but it's the scariest month I know.

  • HIS Beloved! 6/2/2010

    April is "Reserection of Christ Jesus and the father of lies and death, hell and the grave hates this month, for it when we celabrate our Saviours rise from the dead and promise those who believed in HIM would be saved. This not only includes salvation,but from the powers of darkness and distruction.
    So at this time the forces of evil work overtime to make people hate this time of year and bring sadness to their hearts. Put faith in GOD, not man or government!

  • Todd Swanson 4/19/2010

    How does an objective writer lump WACO with the other three stories? Columbine,Va.Tech and Oklahoma City were the act of terrorists in their worst form. WACO was the act of our own beloved government! Keresh may have been a lunatic, but that does not give the goventment, or the ABC (worst excuse in our country for authoratative accountability) the right to do what they did! I consider it SAD to put out of control government officials in the same boat with killers . . . .or do I?

    April has arrived once more and with the country in such turmoil, I fear. I do not like to fear, so I am praying. I hope it helps. God keep you all safe.
