A crazy week of Crazy 88s, Triple-8s, and Double Rainbows

I've been without regular internet access for awhile now, plus I've been working certifiably insane hours at work, planning the wedding (now less than 3 weeks away), I'm wrapping up the animation for the second "Happy Creatures" video and colored some artwork for the synchronistic graphic novel I'm doing with illustrator/inker Peter Palmiotti (artwork that he sent me on 8/4, the date of the Double-Rainbow). So, many apologies for being missing from the online conversation, but I've been a busy little bee.

The offline syncs have been massive and are piling up, so let's hop to it.

CRAZY 88s:

I had connected the number 88 to the BP spill and mentioned the importance of the spill's 88th day as well as the date 8/8. So now we know the spill lasted 88 days and, if there was any remaining doubt that the 88 is encoded into the spill, here was the front page of the newspaper from 8/8:

I should have remembered that the first post devoted to 88 included the idea of the Crazy 88s, from Kill Bill. The same day, August 8th, another front page of a newspaper here in NYC read "Are they Knuts?" - in reference to the Knicks basketball team. That night, I saw a guy wearing a Kill Bill T-Shirt. The next day, another front page read "Gun Nuts" - in reference to gun wielding police officers that had filed mental instability claims. The third day, the front page of one paper read "Plane Crazy" while another read "Planely Nuts" - both stories about the JetBlue baggage carrier that snapped while at work and shut down the airport. A BIG part of this is synchronicity, but I still think that many days with the word "Nuts" on the front page of New York newspapers has to be a conscious effort on behalf of Culture Creators to put a vibe out into the populace at large.

On 8/9 (8+9=17) I met a guy named Arion, who introduced himself as spelling his name "like Orion with an A." That immediately got my attention. Working at a bar/restaurant in the city, you meet all types of people, but after he had a few drinks this Australian musician started talking some fascinating topics, unprovoked by me or anyone else. He claimed to have witnessed extraterrestrial craft multiple times in the same OZ location, with the second time including a beam of paralyzing light that filled him with energy. I asked if he received any information from the beam. He said the experience left him sort of psychic and that he has been super lucky at gambling ever since - winning Take5 a few times this year. ET Beams sending you lottery numbers - where have I heard that before? In the middle of our conversation he said, "You look different now." I asked, "Oh, am I a shape shifter?" That spurred hum to tell me the story of how Madonna sat on his lap when he was 17 years old and told him, "You're a shape shifter just like me," and then she changed shape, into a very angular creature with strange eyes. I asked what he thought of Madonna's embracing of Kabbalah and he claimed that he himself was a "Kabbalistic sorcerer" and that what Madonna practiced was evil witchcraft. He told me it was within my power (and my duty) to stop her because "as a Capricorn, you control the physical plane." I have no intention of going out to do magical battle with Madonna, that seems absurd yet all so fascinating. But then he turns around and I see that his shirt has the Red Letter C as the only design on the back!

TRIPLE-8s and DOUBLE RAINBOWS:

What really got me to sit down next to him was overhearing him mention that his birthday was "next week, on 8/16." That date had become important for me just a few days earlier. Seeing a triple-8 (888) a few times in a row made me consider it as a progression from the 88. I thought to myself, well 8/16 would be a triple-8. The next day after thinking about 8/16, the sync whole writes about double rainbows and Melissa points out an old photo she had stuck in a collage on our wall. The photo is from 8/16/1998 and is of a double rainbow.

Her young handwriting on the back:

1998 is an important year in my perspective and I take it very seriously whenever it pops up. Something that just occurred to me is that a rainbow is the full (light) spectrum and an 8 is also the infinity symbol. So a double rainbow and an 88 are the same as well.

That this photo should reside unnoticed for 2 years inside a collage adds a whole other weight to the sync for me. It was one night while laying in bed with Melissa and staring at one of her collages that I first thought of a good analogy for the three layers of existence. I saw each photo as the individual, with all the complexity and beauty that it contained within itself. The collage, the totality of those individual photos arranged by human hand, was the human attempt to manipulate and/or structure reality - that can be on a Societal level, Governmental/Political, Institutional. Artistic, Well-intentioned plans, Conspiracy and so on. But there was a third layer, that of the light and shadow falling on the wall and the collage and the photos, which created a much broader beauty. This third layer contained the lower two, yet was the type of beauty that went beyond human control. I saw that all that we do is but a fraction of how the universe designs itself. Yet, that cosmic portrait (another first layer photo) was displaying itself on a wall made by human hands and that there were walls and buildings stretching out in every direction making another collage and then another 3rd layer of the planet and cosmos with our architecture and sum of human striving/achievement being only a fraction of that. Perhaps this continues on ad infinitum.

Three layers of infinity=888?

While I was studying the idea of the WhiteSun/Whitsun/Fire-in-the-Brain/FlamingTongue/FlamingLips/Pentecost, I learned that the biblical event was said to have happened 50 days after Easter. Well, as I was looking at all that, The Sync Whole laid out the concept of the 7-11 eclipse being a strong resonator of Easter. So, I counted 50 days from 7/11/2010 and put a small pink dot on the calendar with a highlighter then forgot all about it. The date is 8/30 which would also be the triple-8.

ON CRACKS #7:

I'm listening to Steve&Will's Cracks in the wall #7 and I just realized that the background I designed for the Squares That Touch blog has a double rainbow on each side, or a double-double-rainbow. If a rainbow is 42 degrees and a Double Rainbow is 84, consider that the quadruple rainbow would be 168, bringing us back to 8/16 (which is 8/8+8).

And, me of all people, should have realized why I colored this one-armed girl's shirt green - by being partially dismembered, she's an Osiris resonator. I swear I had not thought about it till Steve mentioned it. The cut of the shirt, as Peter drew it, just seemed like it would look best in green.

Steve points out that a 33 is also an 8, so the Time Warner postcard I received with the three 33s would also be a triple-8.

He brought back up California's Prop 8 which Michael had commented on, and his comment led to a SyncWhole post that coincided directly with a dream I had the night before. Since I've been offline, I wondered if there were other ways to communicate. Well, I've had dreams that I'm meeting some of you on the astral plane. Is it just a dream or is the dream real?

Lastly, Steve&Will talk about the 8/13 floodwaters. Funny thing is, starting on Friday 8/13, the restaurant I work at began to flood, as water poured through Cracks in the Wall - and I've spent the last few days at work trying to hold back the tide of this flood until it can be fixed. Very sync heavy times we're in. It also brings me back to the St. Louis StarGate post and the convo I had with Michael about the opening of the Floodgates.

I'm now thinking that if Mem is Water, a Pitcher and a Picture both store memories. So, is it possible that the pitcher-holding Aquarian water bearer holds our memories of universal knowledge? Are the Aquarian floodwaters the unleashing of that flood of memories?

HAPPY CREATURES PODCAST #7:

I wish I had time to write more, being without internet has been a little frustrating, sorta like blue balls, but it has also allowed me to redirect that energy elsewhere. Oh, and it has not escaped my attention that my period of being without internet comes in tandum with the stories of Smoke and Smog covering Russia. I need to write more about the Smoke Signals concept, so much to say. Yet, for now I leave you with something I was able to do offline, another Podcast. This was just a test of a new method of recording them and it worked pretty well. That means I'll be bringing the Podcasts back and I should have more interviews coming to you very soon. If any of you want to be part of the conversation, send me an email: AllTheHappyCreatures (at) gmail.com

Podcast #7 32 minutes

I still want to document the amazing syncs from the road trip and share more photos with you all. But, for now, I'm caught in the August Rush.

See you in my dreams.

Mick Jagger/Michael Jackson - from Angel of Death to Sign of Rebirth

Mick Jagger is being called "The World Cup Angel of Death"

MJ under the Templar flag

Considering we are a year out from Michael Jackson's departure - let's look at these two death-resonating MJs.

They sang together in the song, "State of Shock"

This was off the Jacksons "Victory" Album.

What fascinating album art. It brings together much of what we've looked at on this blog. Lots of repetition of our now familiar yellow and black color scheme - and just look at MJ's Bee Costume ala Uma Thurman in Kill Bill. But, the most obvious feature is the black and yellow road coming out of a stargate in the middle of a blue spiral.

Welcome back Norway Spiral, I've missed you.

The Birds and The Bees Pt1: Jesus wants to go to Venus

Let me tell you 'bout the Birds and the Bees

And the Flowers and the Trees

And the Moon, up above

And a thing called Love

May 4th started a blitz of wild syncs for me, and since that day is known in Japan as Midori No Hi, or "Greenery Day" (part of "Golden Week"), that seems par for the course. If you've been reading this blog, you know that Osiris, the Green Man, has been calling out to me for a while. So, on another Green Day, he told me to take another look at that box of Lucky Charms.

Let's remember that Osiris was dismembered, put back together without his penis, and was given a new golden phallus by the moon goddess (all of which is covered in the Mystery of the Wandering Member post). I had already connected Lucky to Osiris, since they are both green men, but look closely at the image of him. He has now gained the power of teleporting and is dematerializing from the bottom up. In place of his vanishing member is an erect moon.

It seems someone wants us to talk about sex, or the birds and the bees, as it were. So let's get to it.

The night of May 4th I went out with some friends, met a guy who I told that he reminded me of Agent DB Cooper from Twin Peaks, and, as we were leaving, one of the girls realized that she couldn't find one of her shoes. I reached under the couch she was sitting on and cut my pinky finger on a shard of broken glass - something that seemed insignificant at the time. I went home that night and had a dream about a yellow hummingbird that I apparently kept as a pet in my apartment. I turned my attention away from the yellow hummingbird and spotted a much smaller and much stranger creature: A mix of a bee and hummingbird, wearing a tiny little flowing dress. It was struggling to fly and I was trying to teach it how. It was unable and seemed perhaps sick or dying.

I woke up the next day, not completely surprised by the dream. I've been writing about honey and bees for a few months now, after all. But, something made me go to my computer, almost instantly upon waking, and look at the sync whole blog. I guess I knew what was waiting there: A post about dying bees from a guy using the name HummingWolf (wolf=flow). There's even a quote from Agent DB Cooper at the top of the freaking blog!

His post was in response to this video where they're talking about the reoccurrence of the letters DB, the 2001/2010 movies, dead bees, blood flow, pinky fingers, they sing a song called "Little Finger" with lyrics about bees, and they speak to Seth Green!

Okay, watch this:

The Radio8Ball Show With Seth Green & Twig Palace - 03/21/2010 from The Radio8Ball Show on Vimeo.

Seth Green is another green man , his very name is a combination of the Green man and Set/Seth, his dark half. Remember, it is Set who kills and dismembers his brother Osiris.

Then there's all the craziness with the little finger.

And the blog post even included a Dali painting with a tiger that Melissa pointed out was very similar to the tiger in the circus poster we examined in connection to Osiris, assassination, and Jake Kotze's 9/11 stargate. Note the Obelisk on the elephant's back and the threatening rifle.

But wait, there's more. If you've been following along as we find the constant pairing of the letter "M" or the double "M" with the Bee or "B" syncs, then you may have laughed as loudly as I did when the big story broke this week. In what is being called a "Fat Finger" incident, a huge fluctuation in the stock market is being blamed on someone typing "B" for billion instead of "M" for million.

But, if you take those into numerology, B=2 and M=4, so we go right back to the 42 of Jupiter to go with the Jupiter finger (or the "fat finger") that the SyncWhole boys are all up on.

If you'll allow me to continue on this tangent, the computer error with the B&M made me jump to IBM in my mind. (Read about IBM's connection to the Nazis if you don't already know about their disgusting past).

Paul Rand (not to be confused with Ron Paul's son, Rand Paul) designed the IBM logo in 1972. Then, in 1981 he made this redesign incorporating the Bee:

Paul Rand also designed the UPS logo which I keep seeing a variation of on subway ads for "The King of Queens" reruns. Apparently the main character in the show works for "IPS," a not-too-subtle hat-tip to UPS. But.... according to Wiki, the sitcom cast lives at 3121 Aberdeen Street. Now, Aberdeen is a place is Scotland, so we've got a Masonic nod there. But what about that number?

3121=CABA

That looks to me like Kabba, the very same sacred cube that Kotze posits is the center of the stargate rituals.

More stargates? Yup. Remember our teleporting Green Man from the cereal box? Isn't one of his 'four charms needed to grant him the power of teleportation' a horseshoe? Well, Chris Knowles laid out the idea of the horseshoe as a symbol of a wormhole or stargate.

Now, take this a step further, and remember that the double "M" is 44.

More factoids from Wiki: The last episode of "King of Queens" ran 44 minutes, was filmed on the Ides of March, features the adoption of a child named Ming-Mei, and...

The episode ends with a three-minute montage of scenes from the show's nine seasons to A Million Billion's song Milk & Honey. The final scene shows the words thanks for the ride…

There was another Stargate/Osiris-resonating story this week, as an airport security guard, aged 44 of course, kept walking through the gates of the Orwellian full-image body-scanner and being made fun of for his "small penis." Of course, after he beats the crap out of his co-worker he goes to jail and the poor guy gets his face spread all over the news as 'the dude with the small penis.' The daily mail article on this disaster includes this photo of airport bag-checkers playing with luggage that looks like bees:

I've been writing mostly about honey and honey bees, but I got to thinking - who is the Queen Bee?

We looked at Beyonce taking on the role of a Killer QueenB. Since then I have been thinking about the Queen song "Killer Queen," which is, at least on the surface, about a drag queen (by the way, the night of May 4th I met a guy named Leary who is a drag queen). But, what seemed to make the most sense in looking for a "killer queen" was Queen Beatrix of the Netherlands. We've also been looking at all the assassination language floating around. Well, wouldn't you know it, there was a scare on Tuesday where they were afraid that Queen Beatrix might be the target of another assassination attempt while she was at a war memorial service (this of course comes after the Polish president actually was assassinated while on his way to a war memorial service).

Queen Beatrix has made a name for herself as a prominent Bilderburger and owner of Royal Dutch Shell. On Wednesday, the story broke that Shell has been spilling a record amount of oil in Nigeria, specifically in the Niger Delta. Here in the States, we're looking at a huge oil spill in our Delta ever since the wreck of the fascinatingly named "Deepwater Horizon." The combo of the triangular Delta and "Deepwater Horizon" remind me of that Lego Atlantis stargate set we looked at. Even down to the black cloud of the squid's ink.

But let us not forget that we've been looking back at the movie "Kill Bill" - whose main character, played by Uma Thurman, goes unnamed until the end of the second film, when it is revealed to be Beatrix. I decided to pursue this and do some research into Uma's career and background.

Uma dressed as a yellow and black Killer Bee in Kill Bill

It turns out her mom's first husband was LSD pioneer Timothy Leary, and the two were introduced to each other by Salvador Dali - that's when I know I'm on to something here. Her father is a professor of Indo-Tibetan Buddhist Studies and named her after a Hindu goddess. "Uma" is another name for the goddess Parvati ("daughter of the mountains"), a wife of Shiva.

There's a statue of Shiva outside of the 17-mile long Large Hadron Collider, which some theorize may be a stargate itself. When I say "some theorize" I mean, like, guys working on it.

A top boffin at the Large Hadron Collider (LHC) says that the titanic machine may possibly create or discover previously unimagined scientific phenomena, or "unknown unknowns" - for instance "an extra dimension".

"Out of this door might come something, or we might send something through it," said Sergio Bertolucci, who is Director for Research and Scientific Computing at CERN, briefing reporters including the Reg at CERN HQ earlier this week.

There's also a prayer to Shiva and Parvati at the end of George Harrison's last album, "Brainwashed." It's a fantastic album with songs like P2 Vatican Blues, calling out the P2 Masonic Lodge, The Rising Sun with beautiful lyrics like "Universe at play, inside your DNA, you're a billion years old today," and Looking for My Life, with the lyrics "I'd only hung around Birds and Bees."

George Harrison also owned the production company "Handmade Films" with films such as The Life of Brian (with Jesus, Space Aliens, and Terry Gilliam with a red all-seeing-eye painted on his forehead years and years before he directed Heath Ledger in Dr. Parnassus with a red all-seeing-eye painted on his forehead), Time Bandits (featuring time-traveling midgets), Shanghai Surprise (Madonna's first real acting role), and more under it's belt. Last year they did Planet 51, a film about space aliens that was mentioned in the other Seth Green SyncWhole blog post.

George Harrison, no stranger to Indian tradition, had a song years ago called Maya Love. Well, Uma Thurman, herself named after a goddess, has a daughter named Maya Ray Thurman-Hawke and played a character named Maya in Duke of Groove. There's also another Maya that I know of. Maya the Bee.

Uma also has a son named Levon.

I've been trying to get upstate to see Levon Helm, former member of The Band. They held a concert called "Rock of Ages" in which they ceremoniously played the song "Genetic Method" at midnight between New Year's Eve and the New Year.

"Rock of Ages" takes its name from two old hymns. The Hebrew hymn has the line "They breached the walls of my towers and they defiled all the oils." Where the Christian version has the lines "While I draw this fleeting breath, when mine eye-strings break in death."

"Quantum: Rock of Ages" is also the name of a comic book some friends of mine have been doing for a while. It's about time-travel and the interconnectivity of multiple-dimensional existance.

Levon is also the name of an Elton John song (so named for The Band's Levon Helm) off the album "Madman Across The Water." Ponder some of these lyrics:

Levon wears his war wound like a crown

He calls his child Jesus

'Cause he likes the name

...

Levon sells cartoon balloons in town

His family business thrives

Jesus blows up balloons all day

Sits on the porch swing watching them fly

And Jesus, he wants to go to Venus

Leaving Levon far behind

Take a balloon and go sailing

While Levon, Levon slowly dies

The father of little Maya and Levon is Ethan Hawke. Making Levon Thurman-Hawke another bird resonator, like the dead Osiris' bird-faced son with his flying disc, and sorta like the now-forgotten Balloon Boy, whose name was Falcon, and who was supposed to have flown away from his father in an interplanetary balloon.

That reminds me, I was visited by a bunch of balloons the other day. About 5 of them had become tangled up in my clothes line and I had to set them free.

Perhaps, since the Balloon is another one of Lucky's four teleportation ingredients, I should have held on to them.

Uma Thurman and Ethan Hawke met on the set of the DNA thriller Gattaca. Uma plays a character named Cassini. Ethan plays a character named Vincent Freeman. Freeman is a bit of a masonic nod in itself, as you are supposed to be a "Free Man" to become a Mason. However, it gets more interesting in that the actors who play Vincent Freeman in the flashbacks are Chad Christ in the teenage scenes and Mason Gamble in the boyhood scenes.

And the whole point of Vincent Freeman's struggle throughout the film? Well, he wants to get on a spaceship to a moon of Saturn. The moon named Titan to be exact.

Considering I am currently reading Kurt Vonnegut's "Sirens of Titan," a book with characters named "Bee" and "Chrono" who end up on the moon of Titan....I think we're gonna need a part 2.

To be continued...

PS: I hit "publish" and saw that it was exactly 3:17AM

3/17 is the date of Osiris' death.

UPDATE:

Amazing. Look at these two headlines that just overlapped on Drudge:

It seems Jesus, the solar-powered SUN of God, really does want to go to Venus.

Merging Memes: Smoke Signals and Honey Bees

One of my earliest posts (back in February) was about Smoke Signals. In it, we began looking more closely at the synchronistic implications of the Norway Spiral and the ramifications a shut down internet would have on the spreading of information. Obviously, smoke signals were a method of communication in and of themselves. But, I have begun to see non-man-made smoke signals as correlating to communication as a whole.

If you're reading this blog, you're probably on a quest for truth (be it spiritual, political, self-actualizing, whatever). I would wager a guess that the internet, the proliferation of information and the access to instant communication has benefited you on your way.

So, if there's anything to this connection between smoke signals and our modern society's electronic interface, we should look closer. Because there was a BIG smoke signal that started last week in Iceland. And it shut down modern man's system of metallic air ships. Or perhaps you hadn't heard.

Now we have the head of the CIA coming out this week and warning of a cyber-attack in very loaded terms when addressing a group of 300.

Central Intelligence Agency director Leon Panetta told 300 Sacramento Metro Chamber Cap-to-Cap delegates that the next “Pearl Harbor” is likely to be an attack on the United States’ power, financial, military and other Internet systems.“Cyber terrorism” is a new area of concern for the CIA, Panetta said. The United States faces thousands of cyber attacks daily on its Internet networks. The attacks are originating in Russia, China, Iran and from even hackers....“The next Pearl Harbor is likely to be a cyber attacking going after our grid…and that can literally cripple this country,” Panetta said. “This is a whole new area of threat.”

Funny, I thought they already had their "New Pearl Harbor." Think they wouldn't do it again?

The name of the photographer who snapped that volcano shot (on the 17th) is Lucas Jackson. (Sort of reminds me of the band Luscious Jackson). Also funny that RedIce just posted an interview with Lucus (who we had talked about in the first Smoke Signals post) to follow up on his view of the reoccurring spiral shape as portent of coming cosmic calamity. On a more positive note, it seems smoke is also on the minds of the SyncWhole crew.

Wow, I hadn't thought about that band in years, but I just searched them, knowing there had to be a sync since they popped into my head. What do you think was the name of the last Luscious Jackson album? Wouldn't you know it:

Thank you universe. That's a perfect segue into the next part of this. In the post "Lady Gaga and The Killer Bees" we first looked at the use of honey as poison and the bee as symbol of femme fetale. And we even connected it to the double "M."

After that post, I saw an ad for this book on the subway:

Not only is the author's name Mary B. Morrison, writing under the name HoneyB, but her book is called Married on Mondays. Bees and Ms. Interesting.

I pointed out in that other post that I believe there is a positive and negative side to all of these patterns (as there is to all of life) and that my girlfriend's name, Melissa, comes from the Greek and means "Honey Bee." What I didn't know until recently, is that my mom's name, Deborah, comes from the Hebrew and also means "Honey Bee." Assuming there's no unintended underlying Oedipal weirdness, I think that's pretty cool. Two very positive women in my life who can show me the good side to this meme.

Plus, BM is also medical shorthand for "bowel movement," and those are pretty nice too. :)

Mostly kidding; sorry ladies.

Seriously though, there are many positive aspects to the honey bee thing.

However, other day I was on the phone with my friend Rammer (an awesome artist, go check him out) and he had just seen the movie Kick Ass. Apparently, in this movie the characters are talking about wanting Count Chocula cereal, but can't find it and end up with a HoneyBee cereal. Then, while the kid's mom is in the middle of eating a bowl of her HoneyBee Cereal, she has a brain aneurysm and dies! What is with this repeated theme of poison honey?!?!?

I had a paranoid little thought later that night while making dinner. I looked at the honey I was adding to the stir-fry veggies and rice (ooh so yummy you missed it) and thought: There's been a lot of talk over the last few years about "colony collapse syndrome" and "disappearing bees." What if there's something wrong with the bees and it's going to carry over into the honey? What if the repeated theme of bees and death are a kind of smoke signal?

Or, what if all the reoccurring Osiris symbolism (you know the god of grain and death) is a synchronistic confirmation of all our worst fears about GMO foods and/or the Kissinger/U.N. "food as weapon" doctrine. Food for thought.

Rammer also informed me that a debate broke out between the folks at grinding.be and VigilantCitizen. Now I don't want to get between the transhumanists and the ultra-religious as they fight - perhaps the truth is somewhere between their two camps. Whatever. What they were fighting over was the meaning of the Black Eyed Peas song "Imma Be." Rather, they were bickering over the video.

But, however you wish to interpret the video, it's no stretch to realize that, in the song, they are singing "I'm A Bee."

Last night I speculated to Melissa, my honey bee, who is also a dancer, that perhaps there is an innocent repetition of this theme by the performers since bees communicate through elaborate dances. If you were a Lady Gaga or a Beyonce or a Black Eyed Pea and you sang and danced for a living - and as a way to communicate through your art - a bee would be an appropriate symbol for you to adopt.

She agreed, but then told me that I had just reminded her that she heard the Erykah Badu song "Honey" earlier that night. She pointed me to the lyrics:

Fly free baby, fine with me

I'm in love with a bumble bee

Ooh Slim boy, you killing me

But you so sweet to me

You know, the Erykah Badu that had just created a bit of a stir by filming her latest video at the location of the JFK shooting. The "stir" is that she's naked in the video. I don't care about that. Look deeper.

On the video, for Badu's track Window Seat, the singer drives to the Plaza in scenes consciously aping the famous grainy Zapruder movie footage of the assasination, and begins with familiar radio commentary of Kennedy's fateful visit and Badu wearing a scarf in the style of Jacqueline Kennedy.She then walks down the route that Kennedy took, while shedding her clothes (with the video pixilating her genitalia). By the time Badu arrives at the point where Kennedy and Texas governor John Connally were struck by Lee Harvey Oswald's[sic] bullets, she is naked and – after what sounds like a shot being fired – falls abruptly to the ground as if struck. The video then shows a blue graphic that appears to seep from Badu's head.
Badu said she shot the video in one take at 3.30pm on 13 March [3/13], with a hidden cameraman following her.

See, now it gets a bit scary. Did I mention that the double M - in numerology - would be 44?

I was over at Jake Kotze's blog and noticed a link to the slow-emanations blog with the post subject "88." Since I have been looking at the 88 for the last couple months I took notice. The entire post is a single, yet beautiful, image of a Tarot-like 88, the blogger is from North Carolina, and above his info reads "MIRRORRORRIM."

Then, while I was at grinding.be I took special notice of another post simply featuring one image, Sunset over Asheville, North Carolina.

This struck me since that's where Obama, the 44th president, just made headlines - by hiking.

It's a bit strange that a neo-con site like Drudge felt a link to a photo of two people they dislike hiking was important enough to merit a headline. It's not like it was a photo of them hiking at Bohemian Grove. Well, it's strange only until you start incorporating lessons from people like Steve Willner. If you're not listening to his "Cracks in the Wall" series, you're missing out.

Many synchromystics, and anyone with a keen eye, have noticed the importance of the word "Woods" this year - mostly using the Tiger Woods story as vehicle. Note also, 2010 is the year of the Tiger. So, when I saw the Obamas in the Woods, I took notice.

There was another headline for a non-story, in which Obama's senior advisor went on Leno and revealed the "secret" that "Obama loves Pie." That made me laugh because Steve often says in his audio series that the culture creators "love Pi." But then, who doesn't?

Anyway, the Drudge "Woods" headline links to a single photo, among a gallery of 389 (8+9=17, making 317, the number of Osiris' death.) The photo caption reads:

President Barack Obama, right, watches as first lady Michelle Obama jumps as they go for a walk on a trail off the Blue Ridge Parkway near Asheville, N.C.

Not only does the Blue Ridge remind me of the Norway Spiral, it also reminds me of Chris Knowles' look at the Stairway to Sirius, which would be enough to bring all these elements together in northern Europe. But when you toss in the word Asheville while Europe is blanketed in the stuff?

When Obama doesn't go to the funeral of the murdered Polish president because of a giant cloud of Ash - But goes instead to a place called Asheville....

Well now you've got a serious smoke signal. And a genuine mystery on your hands.

The Prisoner: It's Your Funeral

Years ago I fell in love with this show and, perhaps like many, I associated with the struggle of The Prisoner as he fought the system of control. But more and more, as I watch the orchestrated chaos and the bait and switch of showing people many of the threats to their freedom only to steer them into self-defeating acts of violence, I find myself feeling particularly like The Prisoner in the episode "It's Your Funeral."

Now that AMC has remade the show, they offer the classic episodes for free on their site. Here is the episode in question, in which The Prisoner must try to save the life of a corrupt bureaucrat from a false-flag assassination in order to prevent the inevitable crack-down that would follow:

Some of you may enjoy these fun factoids:

-The Prisoner ran 17 episodes.

-The assassination plot in this episode is referred to as "Plan division Q" (Q being the 17th letter of the alphabet)

Lady Gaga and The Killer Bees

Very often I try to remind myself what Frank Zappa said around the time of the PMRC hearings. In his battle against censorship, which I applaud loudly, he noted that songs were unlikely to lead children to suicide or Satanism or any of the other things the neo-conservatives claimed. His reasoning was simple. People were probably not behaving as popular music instructed them, because most pop songs were about love, and people certainly were not exhibiting an enormous amount of love for their fellow man.

But then, I am left to wonder if he could have imagined the way in which music composition has fallen into the hands of the very same Fascists that he warned us about. We now live in a world where the sciences of Psychology, Marketing, and Neuro-Linguistic Programming have merged into a for-hire Ministry of Propaganda, whose skills are deployed by anyone willing to pay for them. The continuing scandal of Payola alone should be a big enough hint that the mainstream record labels and assorted culture creation factories that make up the mega-corporations’ media empire will push anything for the right price. We’re at the point where the songs on your radio are highly-produced corporate jingles and the music videos are nothing more than TV commercials with choreography. While I am fundamentally opposed to censorship in any form, I do think we should know what these ads are selling us – so that each one of us can examine on a personal level whether or not we’re buying into it.

Bear in mind, that while I write this, I am eating a bag of peanuts that I had an inexplicable craving for the other day. Melissa just pointed out to me that there is an ad campaign all over the subways here in NYC from the National Peanut Board. Echoing our look at “March Madness” and March 4th/5th in particular, she just found this:

"New York to Go Peanut Crazy in March

The National Peanut Board will turn New York City into Peanutopolis on March 4 and March 5 as it introduces its newest advertising campaign for America’s favorite legume, as well as a new slogan: "Peanuts: Energy for the Good Life."

The slogan, more than a year in the making, is part of an integrated multimedia campaign highlighting the energy-boosting qualities of U.S.A.-grown peanuts and peanut products and the way they become a part of all of our lives.

The event will begin with "Energy Central," an "Interactive, Educational Exhibit of all Things Peanut" in Vanderbilt Hall at Grand Central Terminal consisting of an actual peanut field with farmers from across the peanut-growing regions on hand to show attendees around.

On Wednesday evening, March 4, the action shifts to Astor Center, a landmark architectural gem in Greenwich Village that will sparkle with some of today's brightest culinary stars who will demonstrate new versions of authentic global peanut dishes."

Here’s another Derren Brown clip to ponder (again disabled for embedding - Click here to watch on YouTube.)

The Killer Bees:

In the post “Crazy 88s,” I wrote of the ever-present promotion of Nazism and related it to the movie “Kill Bill.” Mere weeks after that writing, Lady Gaga and Beyonce have now released a new video intensely laced with Nazi imagery and they even use the car from “Kill Bill” throughout it. The idea that these media puppets are promoting totalitarianism is not a new one, Beyonce had just taken the stage with dancing black-clad storm troopers during an award ceremony, after all. But “Kill Bill?” Really?

Lady Gaga and Beyonce teamed up for the highly Naziesque "VideoPhone" a few months back. That video is chock full of subliminals and even ends (at 4:53) with the split mind of Beyonce and the killing of one of her MK alters.

This new one, "Telephone" picks up where "Paparazzi" left off, with Lady Gaga going to jail for killing her boyfriend. After Beyonce bails her out, the two go to a local diner to kill Beyonce's boyfriend and everyone else in the place, then proceed to don American flag outfits and dance among the corpses.

VigilantCitizen did a write up on the video and, while I don't endorse all of his interpretations (nor his apparent fear of transvestites, nor any personal religious or political slant that may be injected into his summation, nor his corporate sponsors), I think he's pretty on target with a lot of it. ~Besides, we don't all need to agree on everything. We should strive to present our info as unbiased as possible and respect the variations in perspectives. Anyone who thinks everyone should think exactly the same way, is part of the problem. So, with that extra caveat, VC writes:

"While the customers are agonizing and dying, Beyoncé puts on the Mickey Mouse sunglasses, the same glasses worn by Gaga in Paparazzi while killing her boyfriend.

In both videos, the singers wore the glasses during the killings, hinting to the fact that they are programmed to execute the poisonings. As stated in previous articles, Mickey Mouse ears or designs often occultly refer to mind control , probably because Disney films were known to be used on MK slaves during their programming."

The MM glasses fit right in with March Madness and William Thuther from the Conspiracy Grimoire wrote in to that post with a link to his examination of the double-M. Among the blatant product placements, there is this shot of a Miracle Whip bottle, the MW being a mirrored MM.

The glasses are a big clue, but what I find most intriguing that Gaga wore a bee costume in "Paparazzi" and now teams up with "Queen B," Beyonce, to become the Killer Bees - even going as far as using poisoned honey to kill everyone.

To be honest, I had no intention of writing a post on Lady Gaga. I had been working on a post about cereal grains, Osiris, Masons and HONEY! The delay in that post was so I could refresh my memory and pull a quote or two out of Terence McKenna's book "Food Of The Gods," as I remembered (having read it a few years ago) that he had a chapter or two about honey in relation to ancient hallucinogen rituals. The day after the book came, this video falls into my lap and starts to tie everything together.

Due to the fact that in the first part of the video Lady Gaga makes out with a fellow inmate with a fly tattoo, I'd have been tempted to dismiss the honey thing as a play on the old "You catch more flies with honey" idiom. But McKenna's retelling of the myth of Glaukos and another clue I found today at the supermarket has ensured that I will follow this honey meme wherever it goes - look out for the next big post, Circumpunct Breakfast.

And I would be wise to point out here that I don't believe it is completely negative. For starters, my girlfriend's name, Melissa, means "Honey Bee" and she is a very positive influence in my life. Like all the memes I seem to follow, and every facet of the universe I observe, this honey thing exists in complete balance. On St. Osiris' Day, I got a flash of insight into the numbers we have been following and threw 50 cents at the NY Lottery game "Win 4," picking 1788. Fifteen minutes later I was gifted with a much needed $2,500. It should be noted that I very rarely gamble at all. For those who have called my connecting of the dots crazy - that's a kind of crazy I can deal with.

So, with the caveat that the honey meme is not necessarily a bad omen or anything like that, these Lady Gaga/Beyonce videos leave me with a terrible taste in my mouth. Not only is their promotion of Fascism detestable, there is another unfortunate sync that I came across. At the end of the "Telephone" video, the Killer Bees drive off in their "Kill Bill" truck like "Thelma and Louise." Do you remember where Thelma and Louise end up at the end of their story? The Grand Canyon, for a death ceremony, of course!

Follow the Grand Canyon to the Bee Attack. Bonus points if you noticed the 17 wrapped in the 33 in the lower right-corner.

The death and rebirth theme could only take us to Phoenix, where "a group of people where seriously injured when they were attacked by a swarm of bees."

As, I write this, there is a bigger story taking place: the manufactured circus that is the health-care vote. Funny thing is, amid all the division, they keep showing images like this:

UPDATE:

I snapped this pic of the March 18th front page of a local newspaper in Manhattan, called "Our Town," with the prime photo being that of Spelling Bee champion, number 33.

Interesting choice of words too. The winning word was "suasible" (meaning persuadable) and, according to the DailyNews article, the runner-up correctly spelled "prestidigitation" before her loss. Also note that, due to the camera angle, the banner reads "Daily Spell."

The Crazy 88's

A few weeks back, I got into a conversation with someone about how we had both noticed a rise in anti-semitism. Of course, if you go into conspiracy realms, you are sure to run into a bunch of people talking about a Jewish conspiracy. Now, to me, this makes about as much sense as a conspiracy among people with pronounced ear-lobes. You just can't convince me of any collectivist notion where I should lump people together by race, religion or anything else. I'm sure there are douche-bags of every color and creed because people are people. Some are good people and fun to chill with. Some are jerks. Simple as that.

I can now expect the prerequisite spam calling me a Zionist and on and on. Go ahead. Your venom doesn't affect me. For the record, I'm no fan of the nation of Israel, or any country for that matter. It's as corrupt and evil as any government anywhere else in the world. I believe in Individualism not Nationalism. I support unlimited freedom for all. So, I even support your right to be ignorant fools and speak your closed mind.

That being said, I will use my free speech to expose the hatred I see being put out there.

The Crazy 88's:

Back to that conversation with my friend. He mentioned something about neo-nazi's and their use of "HH" to mean "Heil Hitler," and how they will sometimes disguise this as "88." Having spent the last few months beginning to look at numbers and letters as interchangeable, this made perfect sense to me. (H is the eight letter of the alphabet).

This was the last part of our conversation before I had to go to work and it really stuck with me. What I thought most of was the band Muse and their song "Space Dementia" which starts with the lyrics:

H 8 is the one for me

It gives me all I need

And helps me co-exist with the chill

You make me sick because I adore you so

I love all the dirty tricks

And twisted games you play on me

My girlfriend and I had talked about this song before and I guessed it was an encoded "hate" (H-eight). I thought the song might be talking about the emotion of hate, since in their song "I Belong To You" he seems to realize that the oppression he is fighting against is the very muse that inspires him to write these songs. This made perfect sense to me, since I had also come to a similar realization (and I admittedly may have been projecting my epiphany onto their work).

But, after the HH/88 thing was pointed out to me, I got to wondering if they were in-fact promoting neo-nazism. I'm still not sure, but certainly hope not. I had already seen them live in Japan a few weeks earlier and already have tickets to see them this March 5th here in NYC. (You'll note March 5th coincides with the release of the "Alice" movie that we'll talk about in Part 2: "March Madness").

The city that hosted the Muse concert was Nagoya, Japan and this is their TV station, as seen in a screencap from our 3rd podcast where we talk about this in detail:

Japan would also tie in with the Crazy 88's from "Kill Bill" seen at the top.

But okay, so now this new info has me looking at 8's and H's with a bit of a suspicious eye. Then I read this post on The Sync Whole with a seemingly random double "H" that made me uncomfortable along with the 88 keys of the piano. I'll have to contact them to get a clarification. It could very well be innocent, as today when I set out to start a post that was simply to be about "March Madness" - I got slammed with 88's.

This one does not seem innocent however as the ad also features the word "Axis" as in Axis Powers? I see that and I think blatant promotion of fascism. Plus, another March 5th event!

No matter the intent, I'm sorry to say, these 88's do seem to be a portent of bad tidings. Because they bring us full circle into the promotion of social chaos and outright craziness.

March Madness: COMING SOON!

(I've got to run I'm supposed to be here right now)
