33 | February 29, 1964, Leap Year Assassinations | Evidence of the "Conspiracy of 33"

February 29, 1964, was a special date in history.  For one, a February 29 is something that only happens every four years.  What made this one additionally special, was that it had a numerology of "33".  Let us examine.

• 2/29/1964 = 2+2+9+1+9+6+4 = 33

On this date several curious things happened, but I will focus on the "top three".

1. Lyndon Johnson reveals US has secretly developed A-11 Fighter Jet
2. Frank Albertson, actor (Room Service), dies at 55
3. Victor van Straelen, Flemish biologist/paleontologist, dies at 74

The A-11?  Or The 111?  You know what they say about secrecy.  They say, "33".

• Secrecy = 1+5+3+9+5+3+7 = 33

Frank Albertson was born on the 33rd day of the year, February 2, 1909.

• Frank = 6+9+1+5+11 = 32
• Albertson = 1+3+2+5+9+1+2+6+5 = 34
• Frank Albertson = 32+34 = 66

To think, he was born on the 33rd day of the year, and died on a special date in a leap year, with a numerology of "33", at the very special age of "55".  What are the odds?

Then there is the case of Victor van Straelen, the paleontologist from Belgium.

• Victor = 4+9+3+2+6+9 = 33
• van = 4+1+5 = 10
• Straelen = 1+2+9+1+5+3+5+5 = 31
• Victor van Straelen = 33+10+31 = 74
• Found dead at age 74
• Belgium = 2+5+3+7+9+3+4 = 33

Here is an excerpt from Wikipedia about Victor, who passed at the curious age of 74, on a date with "33" numerology.   

Victor van Straelen (14 June 1889 – 29 February 1964) was a Belgian conservationist, palaeontologist and carcinologist. 

Van Straelen was born in Antwerp on 14 June 1889, and worked chiefly as a palaeontologist until his retirement in 1954.^[1] 

He was director of the Musée royal d'histoire naturelle de Belgique from 1925 to 1954.^[2] In 1926, he instigated the world's first gorilla sanctuary in what became the Parc National Albert (now Virunga National Park).^[3] In 1933, he was appointed head of the Institut des Parcs Nationaux du Congo Belge, and in 1948, he was on the executive committee at the foundation of the organization which would become the International Union for Conservation of Nature (IUCN).^[3] He was the first president of the Charles Darwin Foundation from its foundation in 1959 until his death in 1964.^[3]
He was awarded a silver Darwin-Wallace Medal by the Linnean Society of London in 1958.^[4]

Victor was moving up in the world in 1933 it seems, big chief in the Congo.  Then before long, he would be the executive of IUCN, or "47".

• IUCN = 9+21+3+14 = 47

Following that, he became the first President of the Charles Darwin Foundation, go figure.

• Darwin = 4+1+9+5+9+5 = 33
• Charles = 3+8+1+18+12+5+19 = 66

And then not long before the end of his life, he was awarded a "Darwin" medal by the "33", I mean Linnean Society of London.

• Linnean = 3+9+5+5+5+1+5 = 33

Had he lived longer, could he have been made a knight?

• Knight = 2+5+9+7+8+2 = 33
