The Super Spy Sir William Stephenson, a native son of Winnipeg, Manitoba, Canada (and mentioned in this blog a few times) was honored by the city of Winnipeg with a street renamed after him.
A Winnipeg street has been renamed for a local man who became a legendary Second World War spy known as Intrepid — an inspiration for the fictional spook James Bond.
Water Avenue, which links Main Street to the Provencher Bridge, was officially renamed William Stephenson Way on Sunday.
The Water Avenue section of Route 57 is now William Stephenson Way:
"Finally, there is some tangible recognition for him in a noteworthy place in Winnipeg," said Kristin Stefansson, a distant cousin of Stephenson.
"The fact it's going to be by the Human Rights Museum is another thing that I think is really important, because he did end up helping with causes of freedom around the world."
The renaming ceremony was held Sunday afternoon at the intersection of Water and Main. Deputy mayor Justin Swandel, who officiated the event, was joined by Stefansson as well as representatives from the Canadian Forces, the Canadian Security Intelligence Service, the U.S. army and Winnipeg's Intrepid Society.
"It's a great day to be alive and free in the peace-loving country of Canada, and in large part we owe that freedom to the man we're honouring here today — his efforts and accomplishments in the world of intelligence and what they have done for the security of this planet," Swandel said.
William Samuel Stephenson was born in Winnipeg's Point Douglas neighbourhood on Jan. 23, 1897.
As a Canadian soldier, airman and spymaster, Stephenson became the senior representative of British intelligence for the Western Hemisphere during the Second World War.
The telegraphic address of his office was INTREPID, which was later popularized as his code name.
His organization's activities ranged from censoring transatlantic mail, breaking letter codes (which exposed at least one German spy in the United States), forging diplomatic documents, obtaining military codes, protecting against sabotage of Allied factories and training Allied agents, according to the Intrepid Society, a group dedicated to honouring and sustaining Stephenson's memory.
Stephenson was also a radio pioneer who helped develop a way of transmitting photographs around the world. But it was his espionage work that garnered the most fame. Some suggest his covert operations in the Second World War were a decisive factor in the Allied victory.
Author Ian Fleming has credited Stephenson as being an inspiration for James Bond.
In an interview with the Times newspaper in 1962, Fleming said: "James Bond is a highly romanticized version of a true spy. The real thing is … William Stephenson."
Helped create CIA Stephenson also played a key role in the creation of the Central Intelligence Agency in the United States.
As Winston Churchill's personal representative to U.S. President Franklin D. Roosevelt during the war, Stephenson became a close advisor to FDR and suggested he put William J. Donovan in charge of all U.S. intelligence services.
Donovan, a good friend of Stephenson, founded the U.S. wartime Office of Strategic Services, which eventually became the CIA.
Donovan later said, "Bill Stephenson taught us all we ever knew about foreign intelligence," according to the Intrepid Society.
For his wartime work, Stephenson was knighted in 1945. In his homeland, Stephenson was made a Companion of the Order of Canada in 1979.
He died on Jan. 31, 1989, in Paget, Bermuda, at age 93.

In pure synchromystic fashion, the renamed William Stephenson Way, is the eastbound section that runs right in front of the Winnipeg Goldeyes' baseball stadium (Canwest Park).
Ian Fleming told us that William Stephenson was an inspiration for the MI6 character 007 - James Bond...
Wikipedia on the James Bond movie GoldenEye: GoldenEye is the 17th spy film in the James Bond series, and the first to star Pierce Brosnan as the fictional MI6 agent James Bond.
The Plot of the film contains ... well, frankly, too much to list here. If you haven't seen the film, watch it, or go to the Wikipedia link above and read the plot summary.
As you'll read in the Wikipedia link and hear in the trailer below the film was released November 17, 1995.
GoldenEye Theme by U2's BONO and the EDGE, performed by Tina Turner:
Prince Rupert, The Duke of Bavaria - and to the curious, one possible historical origin of the Gold, blue and red, EYE logo of Winnipeg is a synch-wink to the Bavarian name origins of the territory which became Manitoba.
If we chase that rabbit down the hole just a little further we find that Winfrid (Later known as Saint Boniface) was an ordained Benedictine priest.
The Benedictines / Cistercians were the faction of the Roman Catholic Church that created the group known as the Knights Templar.
The Knights Templar were said to have discovered the secrets of Solomon's Temple in Jerusalem.

The epicenter was just off the Queen Charlotte Islands opposite the Hecate Strait and just off Cape St. James.
The QC Islands are just south of the Dixon Strait, Prince of Wales Islands and ALASKA (AL Aqsa - the Temple Mount, Jerusalem) USA.
The U.S. Geological Survey website reported a 5.7 magnitude aftershock at 7:37 a.m. (PST) and a 4.6 magnitude aftershock at 8:26 a.m. (PST)
From the Wikipedia entry for Queen Charlotte: "Queen Charlotte was keenly interested in the fine arts and supported Johann Christian Bach, who was her music teacher. Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart, then aged eight, dedicated his Opus 3 to her at her request after they met in London in 1764. Charlotte sang an aria accompanied by Mozart. "
Mozart was the famous composer of the Masonic opera The Magic Flute

November 17 - "The area where the 6.6 earthquake struck is located about 260 kilometres southwest of Prince Rupert."
PRINCE RUPERT - A strong earthquake occurred early Tuesday in the Queen Charlotte Islands region off of B.C.’s central west coast, according to Earthquakes Canada.
The 6.6 magnitude earthquake struck at 7:30 a.m. local time and was felt as far away as Terrace and Prince Rupert.
The quake was followed was followed seven minutes later by an aftershock at the same depth with a 5.7 magnitude, the U.S. Geological Survey said.
“It’s been felt extensively up and down the Queen Charlotte Islands in Sandspit and Queen Charlotte City,” said seismologist Stephane Mazzotti. “But we haven’t had any reports of damage.”
Several aftershocks were felt quickly after the initial earthquake, he said, but seismologists were still determining their magnitudes.
No injuries have been reported and there is no threat of a tsunami, Mazzotti said.
Rod Link, publisher of the Terrace Standard newspaper, told Agence France-Presse that window blinds and picture frames in his office, about 400 kilometres inland from the epicenter, shook for about 30 seconds.
“Shortly after 7:30 am local time, my window blinds started moving back and forth,” he said. “I have a bit of a fever and at first I thought I was just dizzy from the flu... but then I realized the blinds were really moving.
“You get a funny feeling in the pit of your stomach when things are moving around you.”
The area where the earthquake struck is located about 260 kilometres southwest of Prince Rupert.
According to the Geological Survey of Canada, the Pacific coast is the most earthquake-prone area in the country.
The area of the Queen Charlotte Islands is active because it is a junction between two major fault systems, Mazzotti said.
The last massive earthquake to hit the Queen Charlotte Islands was in August 1949, at a magnitude of 8.1. The shaking was so intense that cows tipped over in fields. In Terrace cars bounced around and windows shattered.
The 1949 earthquake was “1,000 times stronger” than Tuesday’s quake, Mazzotti said.
It was the biggest earthquake ever recorded in Canada.
"The last massive earthquake to hit the Queen Charlotte Islands was in August 1949"
(8/22) August 22 is the 234th day of the year (235th in leap years) in the Gregorian calendar. There are 131 days remaining until the end of the year.

Dedicated (and Thank You) to all the "Masters of the Synchroverse" and "Mystic Messengers" over at The Sync Whole - you are all inspiration to many!.
So...All right, a momentary departure from just the astronomy of world events, and back to the Synchs... and here's one that's got me sync'ing big time ...
ZOMBIELAND or more appropriately for this synchroverse...
ZO - MB - Eye - Land !
In this synchromystic journey through Zombieland, I'm going to look only at the current Trailers and selected clips... as the movie only just came out on October 2nd, 2009. (275th day of 2009 with 90 days remaining in the year - that's 3/4 of a circle for the non-geometers!)
ZO-MB-Eye-Land: (ZO/OZ/ON ; MB, the 2 alpha-code for Manitoba ; Eye, the symbol of the City of Winnipeg)
of course I AM bringing in Winnipeg, Manitoba - This is a SYNCH article!
What better place to begin... The Earthly home of the Spirit (BA) of Manitou! ...And if we drop those vowels in Manitou we get "MNT"! Which is how we can relate the Egyptian BA with the Native American word "MaNiTou".
Side Note: Many do not know that the orginal design of the Freemasons Grand Lodge of Manitoba AF & AM, [ located at 420 Corydon Ave in Wininpeg, Manitoba (Did you catch that "Jupiter 42"? Here's another chance...) ... this section of Corydon Ave in Winnipeg is City Route Number "42". ] in its original architectural design proposal was designed to resemble the Temple of HoRus at Philae Island ... Philae Island remains one of my favorite places that I visited on my travels throughout Egypt! Intriguing genetic engineering story on the walls in the Holy of Holies.
In the BIBLE (on Solomon's Temple): 1 Kings 7 1 But Solomon was building his own house thirteen years, and he finished all his house. 2 He built also the house of the forest of Lebanon; the length thereof was an hundred cubits, and the breadth thereof fifty cubits, and the height thereof thirty cubits...
Take the height of 30 cubits (where 1 cubit = 14 inches) 30 x 14 = 420
Core Eye d'ON
OSBORNE (OZ-Born) and 420 Rt. 42 - Even Jessie makes an appearance...
Which now brings us to that Movie Tagline... "NUT UP OR SHUT UP" NWT up or SHUt up.
I see NUT and I see SHU
"But Strange Eye why o' why Nut/NWT, the Egyptian Goddess?" (of which she's actually a representation of a philosophical truth)...
Because my dear reader, October 2 is the Festival of NUT (NWT), the festival of RA and the high Festival of THOTH. (10.02 is the "22 Thouth" in the rectified calendar) 10.02 is A date for honoring the goddess NUT (NWT).
SIDE NOTE: In the years prior to its official confederation in Canada on July 15, 1870, the bulk of the land that is now Manitoba was part of the monstrosity that was the North West Territories (NWT !!)
The two main characters together express a single divine DUALITY. Light / Dark. Positive / Negative, Good / Bad, Mercy / Severity, God / The Devil. The 2 faces of Janus. The Two aspects of Christ (money changers table throwing / healing and teaching), HoRus / MoNTu, Castor / Pollux, Romulus / Remus ...etc..etc... so on and so forth through the various religious and mythological pantheons.
NARRATOR: "Today our very existence is threatened by Epidemics, Climate Change, and dwindling resources... But those are the least of our problems."

UPDATE: SIDE NOTEs: Do you know the stories about Woody's father?
Charles Voyde Harrelson (July 23, 1938 – March 15, 2007) was an American freelance hitman connected with organized crime (MAFIA) and was convicted of assassinating a federal judge. He was the father of actor Woody Harrelson.
... a lengthy article entitled “The Man Who Heard Too Much” (The Third Decade, Nov. 1990) about the allegations of the late Richard Giesbrecht, who overheard two men talking in the Horizon Room at the Winnipeg International Airport, which led him to believe they might have been involved somehow in the assassination of President Kennedy. The incident was discussed in some detail in the obscure 1969 book The Kennedy Conspiracy (Meredith Press: NY) by Paris Flammonde, and more recently a summary was provided in the 1993 book Who’s Who In The JFK Assassination (Citadel Press: NY) by Michael Benson. My 1990 article was based primarily on secondary sources such as the Winnipeg Free Press coverage both in 1964 and 1967 (when Mr. Giesbrecht identified one of the men as being David Ferrie); a lengthy article in the Nov. 1967 issue of Maclean’s magazine; a 1968 Winnipeg Tribune report; a surprisingly thorough National Enquirer article; a brief reference in two 1968 Ramparts articles by William Turner; and the above mentioned reference in Flammonde’s book as well as Coup D’État In America. I was also able to speak to Giesbrecht himself and other family members, along with his former lawyer (who now lives in B.C.), the reporters who wrote the articles in the WFP, the WT, and Maclean’s, and even former FBI agent James Hosty. Shortly after publication of my article, I finally received FBI documents dealing with the allegations, including a six-page summary of SA Merle Nelson’s interview (conducted in Winnipeg), as well as an interview with a TV station manager whom Giesbrecht had contacted. I was able to locate the former manager, who was much more supportive of Giesbrecht’s sincerity than the FBI report suggested.
Anyone familiar with the creation of the Intelligence apparatus of North America (CSE/CSIS/NSA/CIA/DIA) would immediately recognize Winnipeg, Manitoba, Canada as the home of Sir William Stephenson the founding father of it all!
From Wikipedia: Stephenson was born William Samuel Clouston Stanger on January 23, 1897 in the Point Douglas area of Winnipeg, Manitoba in Canada. His mother was from Iceland and his father was from the Orkney Islands. He was adopted rather early by an Icelandic family after his parents no longer could care for him, and given his foster parents' name, Stephenson.
