Number 47
The number 47 is one of the major spook markers for fake events & fake deaths. It is likely a modern English pun: “forty-seven” puns with “for-deceiving”. So events marked by this number are literally for deceiving the public!
Pronouncing “forty-seven” with a thick Southern US accent (“ferrdy-seiven”) makes it similar to “for-deceiving”. That seems like a pretty lame pun, but we can confirm with all the other puns that spookery is all about lame puns.
So the next time you are told in the news that the “number of victims is 47 people”, or that the “court settlement is 47 million”, then try to pronounce it with an accent, and you’ll see that these numbers are really “for deceiving people”, even “for deceiving millions”.
Whatever the lame joke may be here, the number 47 enjoys particular popularity among the spooky elites. This “code 47” was mostly pioneered by the Star Trek series.
Joe Menosky graduated from Pomona College in 1979 and went on to become one of the story writers of Star Trek: The Next Generation. Menosky “infected” other Star Trek writers with an enthusiasm for the number 47. As a result, 47, its reverse 74, its multiples, or combinations of 47 occur in a large number of episodes of the program and its spin-offs Star Trek: Deep Space Nine, Star Trek: Voyager, and Star Trek: Enterprise, usually in the form of dialogue, on-screen labels, or computer screens.
