In the novel Bipolar Winter, one of the main characters is a man by the name of Samuel Summers. This man is essential to the plot of the eBook, in part because of his lineage. In the Bipolar Winter Blog, the lineage is laid out so that readers can better understand the importance of family history.
As you will read, Martin Luther plays a vital role in Bipolar Winter. His brother, Jacob Luther is the 13th Great Grandfather of Samuel Summers. Why this is important begins to be explained in the last three chapters of volume one. Jacob Luther will be playing a more significant role than Martin Luther in volume two.
In Bipolar Winter, readers discover that there was a secret government project operating out of South America which used three age groups; seniors, military-age men, and toddlers as human guinea pigs. It was the sister of Samuel Summer's maternal grandmother who shut down the North American arm of this project, putting an end to the mirror Project Whitecoat.
At the age of five, Samuel Summers was one of the many human guinea pigs being used in experiments during the late 1950's. (Summers is the 13th child to be introduced as a human testing subject in the secret North American Toddlers Project managed out of Argentina. This is one of four reasons Summers is known as the 13th child to the Shmita Advent Rite. The second reason is his relationship to his 13th Great Grandfather, Jacob Luther, the brother of Martin Luther, O.S.A. a German professor of theology, composer, priest, monk, and a seminal figure in the Protestant Reformation. The third reason will be mentioned in volume three of Bipolar Winter, and the fourth reason will be explained in volume four.)
The secret testing included exposing children to chemical and biological weapons (including infecting toddlers with deadly or debilitating diseases), human radiation experiments, injecting kids with toxic and radioactive chemicals, surgical trials, and tests involving mind-altering substances among others. In many of the studies, a significant portion of the subject's was manipulated by government-controlled leaders of the Seventh-day Adventist Church in Argentina, Uruguay, Paraguay, Chile, Bolivia, Brazil, and other countries in South America.
When Samuel Summer's great-aunt, a registered nurse working at the White Memorial Hospital in Los Angeles in the early 1950s, begins consulting with several Mormon friends about her family history, she discovered that she and Samuel Summers have Jewish ancestors. When church leaders in South America heard about this, they shut down their North American branch of research fearing the government and/or media might find out what was going on. They feared that if the American public became aware of the operation, they might assume it to be another ongoing Auschwitz type project.
The fictional character Samuel Summers is based on a real life person by the name of Samuel David Steiner, formerly known as (f/k/a) Vernon Lee Leggett (aspiring Talmid Chacham, aspiring father, aspiring composer, aspiring artist, aspiring writer and felon). Steiner's father was a World War II veteran (US Army Designated Marksman), a human subject for secret full body mustard gas World War II military experiments, Seventh-day Adventist (SDA) minister, recruiter of six or more Operation Whitecoat human research subjects, and (SDA) church administrator.
Samuel Steiner is related to 25 of the 27 early Adventist pioneers. Through both his matrilineal lineages and his paternal lineages, Steiner is related to the prophetess of the Seventh-day Adventist Church, 1) Ellen Gould White (Meet the Pioneers). Steiner is also related to 2) James Springer White (Meet the Pioneers), husband to Ellen White and co-founder of the SDA Church (Not to be confused with James White, M.D., the father-in-law of Samuel Steiner, and a cardiologist who was instrumental in starting the heart program at St. Helena Hospital located in the Napa Valley, California, which later developed into The Adventist Heart & Vascular Institute.).
In 1849, James White started the first Sabbatarian Adventist periodical entitled The Present Truth (which is now known as The Adventist Review). In 1855, Elder White relocated the fledgling church’s center to Battle Creek, Michigan, and in 1863 he played a pivotal role in the formal organization of the denomination. Later, he also played a principal role in the development of the Adventist educational structure including the formation of Battle Creek College (which is now Andrews University) in 1874. In the novel Bipolar Winter, James White also headed up the secret transition of control in The Shmita Advent Rite of Freemasonry from Captain William Miller to a group of men who would soon after, lead out in the plans to officially organize the Seventh-day Adventist Church (Samuel Steiner f/k/a Vernon Leggett is, to date, the youngest candidate to be initiated into said secretive Advent Rite.).
Samuel Steiner is also related to 3) Uriah Smith (Meet the Pioneers), who was a Seventh-day Adventist author, minister, educator, and theologian. Uriah Smith is best known as the longest-serving editor of The Review and Herald (now The Adventist Review), serving for over fifty years. Even though Uriah Smith was one of the most prolific authors of early Adventism, he also carved some of the first woodcut illustrations published in works by early Sabbatarian Adventists. His most well-known work is a book entitled Thoughts on Daniel and the Revelation (often referred to simply as Daniel and the Revelation). This book became the classic text on Adventist end-time beliefs.
Additionally, Steiner f/k/a Leggett, is related to 4) John Nevins Andrews (Meet the Pioneers), 5) Joseph Bates (Meet the Pioneers), 6) Samuel Sheffield Snow (Meet the Pioneers), 7) Hiram Edson (Meet the Pioneers), 8) Ellet Joseph Waggoner (Meet the Pioneers), 9) John Norton Loughborough (Meet the Pioneers), and 10) Elder John Byington (Meet the Pioneers) who became the first president of the General Conference of Seventh-day Adventists in 1863. Leggett is also related to 11) William Warren Prescott (Meet the Pioneers), 12) Alonzo T. Jones (Meet the Pioneers), 13) George Ide Butler (Meet the Pioneers), 14) Owen Russell Loomis Crosier (Meet the Pioneers), 15) William Farnsworth (Meet the Pioneers), 16) Stephen Nelson Haskell (Meet the Pioneers), 17) Dr. Josiah Litch (Meet the Pioneers), 18) Charles Fitch (Meet the Pioneers), 19) Joshua Vaughan Himes (Meet the Pioneers), 20) Stephen Pierce (Meet the Pioneers), 21) Rachel (Harris) Oakes Preston (Meet the Pioneers), 22) George Storrs (Meet the Pioneers), 23) Lucy Phelps Smith (the wife of Captain William Miller, Jr.), 24) Roswell Fenner Cottrell (Meet the Pioneers), and 25) Merritt E. Cornell (Meet the Pioneers).
