33 Watch: Newsweek Magazine

Newsweek was established in 1933, and released its first issue on February 17, 1933.  Not only was Newsweek established in '33, it has a numerology of 33.  The chief financial backer of Newsweek was Ward Cheney, of the Cheney Silk Family.  Other key financial backers were the Mellon brothers.

• Newsweek = 5+5+5+1+5+5+5+2 = 33
• Cheney = 3+8+5+5+5+7 = 33
• Mellon = 453365

In 1937 News-Week merged with the weekly journal Today, which had been founded in 1932 by future New York Governor and diplomat Vincent Astor of the prominent Astor family. As a result of the deal, Harriman and Astor provided $600,000 in venture capital funds and Vincent Astor became both the chairman of the board and its principal stockholder between 1937 and his death in 1959.

• Vincent = 4+9+5+3+5+5+2 = 33

Since then, Newsweek has gone through many editors, from Elliot to Smith.  It has also been a leading investigative journalism source on big events such as the 'Watergate Scandal'.  Just yesterday, it returned to print with a bang, publishing its first article in print since going to an "all-digital" format after December 31, 2012.  It should be noted that March 7 is the 66th day of the year.  This issue is already marked in major controversy... and coincidence if you believe such a thing.

Interestingly enough, just two days ago, Newsweek released this story in digital format, a day before it went to print, 'outing the man behind Bitcoin'.  Here is ABC 3340 reporting on the Newsweek-Bitcoin controversy, from just yesterday.  USA Today also reported on this story courtesy of Newsweek in their headlines today. In other words, it is fairly big news.

On this same date of the Bitcoin story breaking, Thursday March 6, the CEO of Bitcoin, Autumn Radtke, was found dead, after supposedly jumping from the top of a building to her death.  She adds to the growing list of bankers who have jumped to their death in recent weeks.  None have been more curious though than the JP Morgan bankers who flew from the top of a '33-story' building, and the 33-year old banker who also supposedly committed suicide from a '30-story' building.

Newsweek is based out of New York City; the magazine has 22 bureaus: nine in the U.S.: New York City, Los Angeles, Chicago/Detroit, Dallas, Miami, Washington, D.C., Boston and San Francisco, as well as overseas in London, Paris, Berlin, Moscow, Jerusalem, Baghdad, Tokyo, Hong-Kong, Beijing, South Asia, Cape Town, Mexico City and Buenos Aires.

• Boston is located in Massachusetts; Massachusetts = 33
• Baghdad is located on the 33rd Parallel North
• Mexico City is located in Mexico; Mexico = 33
• Buenos Aires is located on the 33rd Parallel South
• Buenos Aires established February 2, 1536 ; the 33rd day of the year
