100 years ago; The Zimmerman telegram of 1917

Studying simple pre modern cryptology (Lord Francis Bacon, a large character in WD Gann's thinking, wrote one of his first books on cryptology), I thought it interesting that 100 years ago this coming January, Germany was plotting a strategy to involve Mexico and Japan as allies opposed to the United States in World War I.  Sound familiar relative to the Allied Enemy found in Mr. Gann's "The Tunnel Thru the Air?"

The Zimmerman telegram as sent via telegraph on January 19, 1917 and decrypted:

Obviously, I believe and am pursuing a deeper level of encryption in TTTTA (heck, the hundreds of "experts" in WD Gann in 89 years since the publication of TTTTA had not, heretofore, discovered simple acrostic telestic encryption) but that's not the point of this essay.  The point is the 100-year cycle (which I believe to be a rounding of the actual cycle length).  

Nevertheless, there seem to be several near 100-year echoes here in the wake of the election of the 266th Pope.  Consider the echo of the map that Wikipedia presents that was the Zimmerman proposition to repatriate to Mexico the southwestern U.S.  Might that represent the fast changing demographic character one might suspect is occurring in southwestern U.S. presently?

Where in 1917 Mexico convened its military leadership and considered the German proposal and determined it not feasible, might that not be the same determination were it so approached by China and/or Russia in the modern era?  Mexico, in 1917, didn't determine it not to be the "wrong thing to do" but found it not feasible.  At least, that's my reading of the, sadly, sometimes questionable reflection of history by Wikipedia.  Still, how are our relations with Mexico these days?  Both with President Obama and the GOP nominee?  And what's the implication of the rapidly changing demographics of the southwest.

WD Gann's 100-year cycle, a FIXED cycle.

Switch gears, the 168-year cycle of the WD Gann "Map of Time."  The theory is history repeats according to that NOT FIXED cycle.  At the bottom of the MOT you have 2 days separating the right side of the MOT and with each line moving upwards that difference expands by 4 days.  When you move 15341 lines to the very first line of the cover of TTTTA, you find there is 168 years is the difference between the date on the right, June 21, 2016 and the date on the left June 22, 1848.

On the last day of the MOT, wouldn't the poet in us, the sense of symmetry, demand that there be an echo of the past some 168 years previous?  Yes.

What happened in 1848 versus as present? 

• The "Year of Revolution" in Europe where, in some European 55 countries were in open, chaotic revolution.  How might one typify Europe presently?

• 1848 was one of them most active periods of the open agitation by Karl Marx and Friedrich Engels in Europe.  They lamented the failure of their ideal socialist revolutions, a challenge later accepted by Russia, China, Cuba, North Korea and other countries whose enlightened rulership imposed their will, and misery, on their populace.  Has a socialist even been so close to a Presidential nomination before in U.S. history as is Burni' Bernie presently?  Has one been so outspoken of "revolution" (clarified as political revolution) and widely accepted.

• In 1848, the U.S. was rapidly expanding from 'sea to sea.'  We find the 1848 Mexican-American War where the greatly superior forces of the U.S. were used to expand some considered proper uses of force to annex the southwest territory.  Military minds at the time, including many that became top military leadership on both sides of the Civil War, were divided on the use of military force in a lesser conflict to assault Mexico City and force the annexation.  168 years later; the demographic annexation of the southwestern U.S. perhaps willed and supported by U.S. leadership?

The MOT is an ongoing thing.  Sometimes events are predicted pointedly, perfectly, such as 9/11 where the date of 9/11/2001 is identifies the number of innocent deaths that day (cumulative line 2693 plus chapter line 283) and the acrostic/telestic message "Path to WAR."  Sometimes its just an echo of an ongoing process as implied in the above bullets.

Now, both the 168 and 100 year cycles.  The former, 168 years and its reflection in TTTTA, reconciles perfectly to 1/15th the Biblical Great Week reckoned from "the Exile" and as recounted many times in essays offered heretofore.  The latter, from what might it reconcile?  Perhaps:

168 years / Phi = 103.83 rounded to 100

I certainly don't know, but it's an interesting thought. 

Lots of echoing seemingly going on in both the 100-year and 168-year cycles.

[Ominously, the above map of the southeastern US and the green area seem uncomfortably similar to the battle lines of the first Allied Enemy campaign of the fictional "Great War in the Air" which I have interpreted as a time line of natural seismic disasters.]
