Hurricane Sandy: The "MayDay" Rota Fortunae

"MayDay"?!? ... Sandy's calling on the KingKill with a direct MayDay threat to the Green Man.  This hurricane is the Rota Fortunae that I continue to point out always goes along with it. Being a Green Man in the direct path of this thing, I'm holding on. As I write this, my lights are flickering. Getting ready to weather the storm. Be safe all.

Recall also Hurricane Erin 9/11/2001

"Hurricane Erin was "born" on about the 1st of September 2001, and travelled up towards NYC. Hurricane Erin was the closest to NYC on 9/11/01 and was the largest on this date (although wind speeds were greater the day before). At the top of each page, the photo of Erin has an inset, where the plume of material from the destroyed WTC can be clearly seen."

Beltane/MayDay as GreenMan KingKill/Rebirth

Extra reading:

Le Morte d'Arthur: "THEN King Arthur let send for all the children born on May-day, begotten of lords and born of ladies; for Merlin told King Arthur that he that should destroy him should be born on May-day."

Beltane Spiral Dance

Wickerman and Catherine Wheel

One of the less obvious points I like to make about the KingKill theme is how often the event is paired with a "Catherine Wheel." It's often not the easiest thing to explain the correlation, but it is so consitant that I've placed it with equal value to the KingKill itself in my upcoming Suicide Kings book, which is subtitled ATOR ROTA ORAT TORA TARO (The Catherine Wheel Speaks the Law of the Tarot).

Well, the first image I saw after Texas State Fair icon, Big Tex, was consumed by fire today, was this modern-day Wicker Man paired with the fated Rota Fortunae.

Note also the "Dickies" shirt and belt he wears, signaling the groin wound of the Arthurian Fisher King or the missing phallus of Osiris etc.

Alan on the Corbett Report and Vinny Eastwood show

This week I was the guest on two radio shows that present similar topics from two wildly different perspectives. James Corbett of the Corbett Report, who broadcasts out of Japan, is a serious man. Vinny Eastwood is a radio host from New Zealand and his approach is to lighten things up with a healthy dash of comedy. Transitioning between the two shows was a little jarring for me, but a healthy embodiment of the balancing act I always talk about. These were also the first two video interviews I have done, which adds an interesting element for the interviewee. Funny thing is that I didn't know Vinny's show was on video so I came a bit under-dressed, but you get to see me in my natural habitat. :)


From Tuesday night:

The world is both physical and metaphysical, not one or the other, you can either move a chair in 2 seconds or study to be a telekinetic monk for 60 years and then move the chair. We must take some responsibility and be aware that meaningful coincidences in life are extremely important to how we interact with other people and the world itself. A revealing and insightful interview on the nature of psychedelics and intellectual evolution.

Or watch the video if you really want to look at my mug for an hour and a half:

Bonus sync: I mention a comic book that I worked on with fellow-NewYorker Rammer Martinez Sanchez, right up to 9/11, when the work took a backseat to the real-life craziness around us. Here's a page Rammer drew in 1999 or 2000 that shows all of NYC and the surrounding area turned into a giant crater:

This sync should have been mentioned in my SyncBook Vol.1 chapter, alongside the other strange 9/11 precursors in my artwork leading up to 9/11, but I had actually forgotten about it. I only found this image a day or two before being contacted by Vinny Eastwood to do his show. The even crazier thing is that the story this image is from tells that only three people in all of New York survived. One of these men was named Vinny Eastman! That character was also a representation of extremes of comedy and tragedy, just like Vinny Eastwood's "lighter side of genocide" approach. . . The syncs are SO specific, that it's just F-ing insanity.

Then, on Wednesday, I was on James Corbett's Corbett Report. This was the first interview in a long time that I was really nervous about. I think that shows in the first few segments, where I'm a little hesitant to assert my position. However, after a silly live call-in I decided to take back that personal power and lay out my information to a place that is not so easy to challenge. In the last twenty minutes I lay out some of the mind-blowing information I have on the Osama bin Laden "killing." I think the shock on James Corbett's face at the end says it all. If a man like him can be flustered by the data, I don't feel so bad about my being so.

Tonight we talk to author and researcher Alan Abbadessa-Green, editor of The Sync Book, about the study of synchronicity in politics and world events. We discuss “the killing of the king” meme as it pertains to the deaths of Lincoln, JFK and Osama Bin Laden.

Bonus sync: Shortly after the show, I noticed this spread in the headlines at Drudge:



Sync Book Radio

I've just reworked and updated the layout and archiving for Sync Book Radio. I can't believe how quickly this turned into something so big and so fantastic. These projects, like so many I get involved in, have snowballed beyond my original vision--they're more time consuming to produce than I first assumed but also of such a better quality than I expected either.


There are two show each week: 42 Minutes every Tuesday and Always Record every Thursday.

Then we started Always Record back in May when Bill Klaus (iahuasca) proposed the idea of recording some roundtable conversations. David Plate (MKUltrasound) joined us and the three of us started having a conversation each week. Even as I struggle to find the time to do it, this has turned into a wonderful ritual that I look forward to all week long.

At some point we started having other people join us, each adding their unique take. So far we've had the pleasure of talking to:

Freeman of FreemanTV
Project Psycube (Violator Hellspawn, Frank Zero, and Trevor Tocco)
Douglas Bolles
Jason Barrera (Eleleth)
Justin Morgan
Maya Alexis
Andras Jones
Will Morgan
Tommy Fulks
John Fell Ryan
Mark LeClair (Wrong Way Wizard)

We put a ton of work into this, but it's so worth it. I think you'll enjoy listening as much as we enjoy doing these. Please dig into the archives:

Green Eggs and Sam Bacile

"The Innocence of Muslims," the "Anti-Muslim Movie" sparking so much attention and protest recently, has also sparked a number of theories. Many are wondering if the film itself is a red herring, a hoax, or the product of provocateurs.

I find it interesting that the head-scratchingly bizarre low-quality low-budget YouTube video at the heart of the matter is being attributed to "amateur filmmaker" Sam Bacile. "In an interview with the Wall Street Journal, Bacile identified himself as an Israeli-American."

It is no stretch to see the Green Eggs and Ham story and its character of "Sam I Am" as related to the dietary restrictions of Islam and Judaism.

Take note of how many images of the riots show food companies being destroyed (not that I am shedding any tears for fast-food corporatists).

Now, I'm not suggesting this is intentional or not, but I can't help but look at Sam Bacile's name without seeing this:

Sam I Am = Sam IM

Sam Bacile = IM Bacile

= Imbecile

Who among us is playing the fool, the imbecile?  It sure does look like a lot of western governments are itching for war (here and here, ad infinitum). They just need a good scapegoat. A good fool.


Speaking of Red Herrings...

The Seventh Seal

So there's this billboard in Texas that is inspiring some controversy and some bumperstickers and maybe even some violence. In one respect it is par for the course in 2012 politics as (un)usual. In another respect it shows the outright threats of violence that we knew would come with an Obama presidency--not only as a black man, but as someone who was compared to Lincoln, JFK, and MLK from the moment he took office (gee, what do they have in common?). But, what interests me most is that it is another mirroring of Obama and Osama. I'm almost surprised that this echo is still showing up, but not really. This pattern has been strong. Very very strong and very very consistent. And I'm not talking about just idiotic talking heads with their Freudian slips and such. I'm talking about a very serious connection between these two men.

When Suicide Kings comes out, you'll see some of the connections between Obama and Osama and the whole way in which the events unfolded--some of this stuff is just downright jaw dropping. I don't say that as some trick to get you to buy a book--it won't even be out for a few months--I say that because I found some stuff while working on this book that just absolutely floored me. I can't wait to share it with you.

I'll be sure to share some of these nuggets with you all real soon. For today, I want to focus on this billboard and the obvious political maneuvering and phony debate as to whether or not Obama gets credit for killing Osama.

Others unhappy with the ad said the President deserved credit himself for removing a threat to America. Schad [who paid for the billboard] agrees, but didn’t agree with the way the President accepted that credit.“He needs to understand its ‘we’, a team effort,” he said. “He didn’t pull the trigger those SEALs pulled the trigger.”

The whole thing is so f-ing silly. ...Well, silly only until you realize that Osama was theoretically killed by Seal Team Six. If Obama is one part of the "team" that got 'em, would that make Obama... Oh I don't know...

Synchronic​ity 11 years after 911

Here we are, 11 years on. Today is already weird for me and I've only been awake about an hour. It's 4:30pm here in NYC, I've slept through most of the day after a bizarre night of sleep. It wasn't so much that I couldn't wake up, but that I thought I shouldn't -- like there was important work to do in the dreamworld. I remember telling my wife as she got out of bed that I had to go back to a dream about "apples and dragons" but now I don't remember any of the details. Though I've been awake for an hour and had some coffee, I still feel very much out of it --like a part of me is still there.

When I got online, I had a message from my friend Peter that confused me even more.

How could I forget? (Isn't this a day we're told to "never forget"?)

Yes, indeed, the Sync Book is one year old today. Happy Birthday baby Sync Book. ...And you've got a little brother or sister on the way. (Sync Book Vol 2 coming soon!)

I guess my mind is distracted because I have a lot on my plate right now. I'm working on my own book (Suicide Kings) as well as Sync Book Vol 2 and trying to keep my head above water financially and find time for my family (the most important of all) and just juggling a lot. There may soon come a point where I have to put all this aside to take care of more pressing matters, but, for the moment, it feels like the work we're doing is vital and significant and worth the temporary sacrifices. I guess in my waking life too I feel like there's "important work to do in the dreamworld."

I found some time this week to begin setting up the foundations of a database. The idea is an amalgam of one from Douglas Bolles, conversations with Jason Barrera, and a related idea of my own. Doug wanted to do a "Book of Stars" depicting actors that resonate a certain archetype in the Tarot. Living in New York, I see movie posters and advertisements everywhere, and it occurred to me that the movie posters themselves were Tarot cards. I wanted to set up a database of these posters-as-cards but as Jason and Doug and Justin Morgan have helped me flesh this thing out, the idea is very quickly becoming a combination of everyone's vision (as it should be). This is a work in progress, but it is already well worth your time to look at. Check out http://movietarot.blogspot.com/

There are many days where this works seems thanksless. And then, there are days like today--days where someone I've never met before sends me an email letting me know they are enjoying the work that's being done and that they are working on it too. It makes the weight feel less like a heavy load and more like an honor.

Hi Alan,

I enjoyed listening to your interview with Neil Kramer, and I know you are going to be puzzled about this one (or not).

This morning, in the centre of The Hague (the Netherlands) : there was a collision of two trams.

September 11 (9 11), tram number 9 and 11 collided at exactly 11 minutes to 10 -summertime-. But wintertime, which is in fact the real time, exactly 11 minutes to 9.

It's strange to read the reports, but yes, that's what happened. Tramnumber 9 and 11. No fatalities, but 36 people got injured, so it has made it to the Dutch newspapers. You were expecting something on this day right?

All the best with your work! 
-Thijs van Tongeren

Thank you all for another year of support and friendship and fellowship.
Much love,
Alan
