TL;DR: Another expose of hidden genealogy, but the focus is actually on the disinfo surrounding Billy the Kid. The story of the Pratt brothers, Parley and Orson, as they seized control of the LDS would be much longer, so you’ll have to take that on faith for a while. The fundamental idea is that these three are closely related, members of Spook Families that control history from the shadows, but the relationships of that type are hidden lest we all become suspicious of the “history”. If I can show that hidden relationship, well… you should get suspicious.
To establish that we’re dealing with the same Spook Families that I hope are becoming familiar, let me exhibit a single example and tell you that these brothers, Parley P. Pratt (1807-1857) and Orson Pratt Sr. (1811-1881), trace their ancestry in a direct line back to this woman:
Elizabeth (Clark) Parker, of Saybrook (1622-1682).
(If you want to do it yourself, start with Parley’s Geni record and keep clicking the father’s link until you see the oddly named “Joseph Joseph Pratt”. Elizabeth was his mother.)
Elizabeth was born a Clark, and married a Pratt and a then Parker. Take my word that I checked it out and these are indeed the right families. Note that she was born two centuries before Parley and Orson. If we fast-forward, you find out the Pratt family spawned the Romney and Huntsman families, bringing us four centuries from Elizabeth. See how good old “Mittens” isn’t even worth mentioning in this context?
BTW, do you know what triggered all this? I happened to notice that Parley P. Pratt was Parley Parker Pratt. “Couldn’t be,” I thought. Was. I also noted that they changed the title of his wiki page from having the middle name spelled out to just the initial. Think that was just typographic styling? I don’t. Remember I said we were going to focus on disinfo.
Our subject, though, is Billy the Kid, and concerning his purported short and violent life, who knows what of it is true so I don’t have much to say. We’ll more closely examine the bullshit and nonsense that has been accepted only about something as simple as his name, and the disinfo starts right out of the gate on his wiki page (rearranged for chronological order):
Henry McCarty (September 17 or November 23, 1859 – July 14, 1881), alias William H. Bonney, better known as Billy the Kid, was an American outlaw and gunfighter of the Old West…. Shortly before McCarty's mother died of tuberculosis on September 16, 1874, William Antrim abandoned the McCarty boys, leaving them orphans…. In 1877, he began to call himself "William H. Bonney".
Two birthdays and a wide variety of names. It seems a little sus. You can see even more of Billy’s names and his claimed genealogy here:
Henry "Billy the Kid" Bonney (McCarty), II (1859-1881)
A lot has been shoveled at us to unravel, so let’s check in with our gold standard for bleeding-edge conspiracy theory/top-level disinfo, Miles Mathis:
What you don't know about Billy the Kid may surprise you (12/27/2017 10-page PDF)
You may [think you] know that his full name was William H. Bonney. But it wasn't. His name wasn't William at all. It is now admitted by the mainstream sites that his real name was Henry McCarty. So how did he get William Bonney from that? We aren't told, the story simply being that he began referring to himself that way at age 18. No idea why, but it is a question you should ask. You should ask it, because it happens to have an answer.
In the world of Mathis, just about everyone is exposed as a gay Jew, but not in this case. He goes on to explain to us that “McCarty” is a variant of “McCartney”, and that he had recently exposed Paul Macartney as being from the British peerage. Thus, Billy would certainly be an aristocrat also. Mathis tells us that, for example, Billy was baptized in a church on Barclay Street, another one of the Spook Families he has exposed. It gets more… exotic from there. I remember at the time finding all this analysis dazzling, which I suppose was the objective. I reserve judgment on the Barclays, but I can say that I’ve yet to encounter them in my research.
Perhaps, however, we can start to see what is behind the smoke that was just blown all around us. Except, however, that is a practical impossibility. We have to see through it first, then we can turn around and recognize that all the other “information” was indeed “disinformation”.
The first and crucial item is this: I propose that the human being around which the legend/psyop was built was given the name William Henry Bonney at birth. “They” have completely jacked around with Billy’s genealogy but, reminiscent of a Mandela Effect, a residue was left behind. The “real” Billy the Kid (for whatever that means in a sea of falsehoods) is reflected in the genealogical databases as this person, William Antrim
The “William Antrim” we’re told about in the wiki is the second husband of Catherine (Billy’s mom), a man they call William Henry Harrison Antrim. I don’t think any such person ever existed, but let’s just sort all this out so that you might see that too.
Luckily, that last record hooks us into the real genealogy, the one they wished to hide with the snowstorm of BS from both wiki and Mathis. That last record from Geni tells us that his mother was:
Catherine Antrim (Devine) (1829-1874)
Born a Devine, and “hooking up with”, in some fashion, a McCarty and an Antrim. His father is listed as:
William Harrison Bonney (1803-1862)
Do you see now exactly where Mathis ran us off into the weeds? The question he posed did indeed have an answer, but it was nothing whatsoever like the one he gave us. Rather, all this jumble of names associated with Billy fell out from his real genealogy. Again, regrettably, you can’t tell this from the disarray you’re handed. You have to know the answer first.
I believe this is also where we get the two birthdays. You can find specific dates of birth going back half a millennia, so recording such things accurately was the norm. Here, father and son had the same name, “William H. Bonney”, and after all the f-ing around with our “history”, “historians” located both and did not know what they were looking at. I conclude that this was also the source of that very mysterious “II”—a subject no one touches—in the title of the Geni link way back at the beginning.
Sharp as you are, now you’re asking, “Well then how the hell did you know the answer, you dang disinfo agent?” Fair question, and the answer is I stumbled into it, just like pretty much every other thing. Theoretically, once you found William Harrison Bonney, you could have clicked on his mother, found out she was a Pratt, and went, “Herr merr gerrd!” That’s not what I did, though.
I had been doing genealogical research on Parley Parker Pratt, trying to find out if he really was one of those Parkers. I random-walked my way to the Ancestry of Willard Mitt Romney and page-downed over the few key lines:
Obadiah Pratt m. Jemima Tolls
Rhoda Pratt m. Levi Bonney
William Harrison Bonney m. Katherine Boujean
WILLIAM HENRY BONNEY (1859-1881)
And there it kicked off, when I recognized William H. fricking Bonney as Billy the freaking Kid.
That guy Obadiah Pratt is—as you may confirm—the grandfather of Parley and Orson. I fibbed a tiny bit for headline purposes and Billy is technically the “first cousin once removed” of those two. But then again I think we can conclude that his father, William Harrison Bonney, first cousin of those Pratts, must have been up to his tits in all this. I hope you think I was fair about it.
Let me close with this entertainment, something Mathis brought up but did not make a very good point about. He shows some pics on page 6 of his paper, but if you just search for images of Billy the Kid, you’ll see the one I’ll talk about in a sec, the one that everyone sees but no one notices.
First, though, go back to the wiki where you’ll find a photo and long discussion about how Billy the Kid was not actually a lefty in the section “Dedrick ferrotype”. Now in the images you looked up, look for the one of him seated holding a pistol. That pistol is in his left hand too. But still not a lefty? Actually, who cares.
Did you notice that’s a woman? Mathis says the photo is a fake and maybe it is, but my point is what they’re showing us is a woman yet no one notices. Look, I’ll give xer the fruity necktie as possibly an antique style, but we also have a scoop-neck sweater and what seems to be a pony tail. And that hat? Is s/he going to a gunfight or to drink mimosas at the Kentucky Derby?
Bonus: I feel bad with a post all about (what I used to consider dry and valueless) genealogy, so let me add some more genealogy as a bonus. You know how we briefly mentioned the Romney family? Well, father of the United States of Freedom, George Washington, had a father-in-law, a guy named Joseph Ball. It turns out that George’s wife, Mary Ball Washington, was actually the daughter of Joseph’s second wife. His first wife was Elizabeth Romney. Weirdly, they’ll try to push on you for no reason (other than disinfo) that somehow her name was also or was actually Elizabeth Rogers. Yeah, lying right to our faces is hardly beyond Them.
Thanks for reading and I hope you came away enlightened!
