As some of you already know, my life has been a bit hectic lately (moving a few hours south and trying to wrap up writing the Suicide Kings book, among other things) so that's why there hasn't been a new blog post here in a while. Regardless, I'm happy to offer you something brand new and unique today, a special guest post from Andras Jones. You see, while talking to Andras about Suicide Kings and Kubrick and whatever else we were yapping about, we started talking about a strange little feature of Kubrick release dates. In the book I'm documenting 3 Kubrick movies whose releases coincided with King-Kills (DrStrangelove=JFK, 2001:ASO=MLK, EyesWideShut=JFKjr). When I told this to Andras, he started to wonder what else happened on the days that Kubrick films came out. A damn good question, and the man has done some damn good digging to find out. I'm presenting this material as Andras wrote it, and have only tossed in a few notes and additions in green text.
We will be discussing this list and many tangents (to be sure) on tomorrow's Always Record with Bill Klaus, David Plate, Andras Jones, John Fell Ryan, Mark LeClair and myself.
I want to thank Andras for presenting this idea because, among other fascinating tidbits, I think it offers us a new way to compare the films. Bill Klaus has of course created the "Kubrick Transformer" and I posited the movie poster angle on the Mask of God blog. But, with Andras' info, we can now take two films that had similar events coinciding with their releases (such as the films with Yankees/RedSox games), and ponder what that tells us about the way the two movies sync. Here we go:

History in Kubrick
By Andras Jones
In a conversation with Alan Abbadessa-Green, regarding the deaths and assassinations associated with the release dates of certain Stanley Kubrick films (a subject Alan explores in his book "Suicide Kings") it struck me that looking into the release dates for all of Kubrick’s films might reveal more interesting data. It does.
Just a few things before I give you the facts…
First, I explored these dates with simple Google and Wiki searches. It is by no means comprehensive and I invite others to add to it.
Second, I was struck by the way Kubrick’s earliest films, the ones he had the least control over (in terms of scheduling) had the most exciting syncs. Of course, it is possible that not enough history has accrued around the latter dates, and we may only be aware of the synchronistic resonance of June 26, 1987 (Full Metal Jacket) in a few decades.
What’s pretty clear as we view these dates is a strong correlation between Kubrick and rockets (missiles & spaceships) and the visual mediums (TV, satellites, celebrity) as well as strains of the Kennedy assassination, natural disasters, the twin Holocausts (US & Germany) and the Yankees v. Red Sox rivalry in baseball.
What is most interesting about this list is its apparent lack of intentionality. If we rule out a conspiracy on the part of the author as a factor here, we can simply take measure of the historic barnacles that attach themselves to the hull of a great artist’s vessel as it passes through consciousness. And just because we’ve taken the author’s intention out of the equation doesn’t mean our exploration won’t reveal something unique about the artist. In fact, I think we can learn just as much from the unintended consequences of Kubrick’s (or any artist’s work) as we can from knowing what they were trying to do. Of course, Kubrick, because of his longevity, the multi-leveled complexity of his films, and the amount of control he was able to exert over his productions, lends himself particularly well to this kind of exploration.
That said, and with all due respect to Mr. Kubrick, I see this list as an exquisite demonstration of the authorship of sync expressing itself through the constellation of action, documentation, time and the synchromystic witness (that’s us).
We begin with Kubrick’s first film, a documentary called “Day of The Fight”.
IMDB-description:“Based on Kubrick's pictorial for Look Magazine (January 18, 1949*) entitled "Prizefighter," "Day Of The Fight" tells of a day in the life of a middleweight Irish boxer named Walter Cartier, particularly the day of his bout with black middleweight Bobby James. This 16-minute short opens with a short (about 4 minutes) study of boxing's history, narrated by veteran newscaster Douglas Edwards in a no-nonsense, noir tone of voice. After this, we follow Walter (and his twin brother Vincent) through his day as he prepares for his 10:00 P.M. bout. After eating breakfast, going to early mass and eating lunch, he starts arranging his things for the fight at 4:00 P.M. By 8:00, he is waiting in his dressing room, where he undergoes a mental transformation, turning into the fighting machine the crowd clamors for. At 10:00, he faces James, and soon, he comes out victorious in a short match which was filmed live on April 17th, 1950**.”

Dr. Strangelove or: How I Learned To Stop Worrying And Love The Bomb
On Nov. 22, 1963, Stanley Kubrick was supposed to present his new film, Dr. Strangelove, Or: How I Learned To Stop Worrying and Love the Bomb, to the press. Shortly before the screening, word arrived that President Kennedy had been assassinated that day. The screening was canceled and, because the film treats a U.S. President character with less than the utmost respect, changes were made before the film’s release. The character of Major Kong had a line describing how “a fella could have a pretty good weekend in Dallas”—but because the President had been killed in Dallas, the line was changed to “in Vegas.” A pie-throwing sequence that Kubrick found too silly was also cut; it would have included the line “our beloved President has been struck down in his prime.” The film’s planned London premiere, scheduled for Dec. 12 that year, was also cancelled. Dr. Strangelove eventually opened in the U.S. on Jan. 29, 1964.

- Commercial satellite, Intelstat IV (F3), is launched. From Wikipedia regarding Intelstat: The network in its early years was not as robust as it is now. A failure of the Atlantic satellite in the spring of 1969[when?] threatened to stop the Apollo 11 mission; a replacement satellite went into a bad orbit and could not be recovered in time; NASA had to resort to using undersea cable telephone circuits to bring Apollo's communications to NASA during the mission.Fortunately, during the Apollo 11 moonwalk, the moon was over the Pacific Ocean, and so other antennas were used, as well as INTELSAT III, which was in geostationary orbit of the Pacific.

After the announcement of Will and Kate's child (or twin children) Goro Adachi connected this to a child of Mars. I took the angle that this was the child Horus. It's really the same position, as both Mars and Horus are gods of war.
Now we have a slew of stories of angry children on the rampage. Take a good look at your Aeon of Horus, the New American Century:
Loren Coleman has written extensively on the syncs and triggers of these and many other tragedies. He's calling the Newtown shooting "Killing Dawn" -which we can easily see as another reference to the Solar Horus. One fascinating note I keep seeing hinted at by Loren and others, is a "meteor" connection.
Since so many are connecting these most-recent shootings to the current meteor shower, I wonder why no one seems to remember this tidbit we highlighted on this blog over and over from Jared Lee Loughner's YouTube profile. Recall that Loughner wrote the seeming nonsequitor "I want you to imagine a comet or a meteoroid coming through the atmosphere."
Goro Adachi, who has been forecasting the child or twin children of that Royal Wedding as descendants of the Holy Grail, also reminds us that NASA's Twin Grail children are set to crash into the moon in a few days:
Now, whenever I wrote about Jared Lee Loughner, I refered to him as JLL and kept pointing out the "Jack and JLL" syncs. The two children of that story of course, also come tumbling down. Kinda like another set of Twins I can think of:
You know, I was going to save you all another plug for my upcoming book Suicide Kings since I've told you a million times how I'm laying out all this 9/11=Horus info in full detail in it. And I avoided mentioning the story about the suicide of Isis/Kate's nurse this week. But, I just saw this Suicide King story tweeted by Strangeye:
"Starling" is also the name of Jodie Foster (our Isis Stargate resonator) in Silence of the Lambs where she's hanging with Anthony Hopkins Quetzalcoatl (as Richard Arrowsmith has it in his latest sync video), connecting these brutal killings again to the Dec 2012 window.
Just as I was about to post these updates, I saw the news that Giffords visited Sandy Hook today with her twin NASA husband.
This will undoubtedly be a big news item for a while and we can expect all the conspiracy theorists, sync-heads, and tabloid readers to make a big deal out of it.
But, I wonder if you caught the hidden tidbit in the announcement: "A spokesman said the duchess, who is thought to be less than 12 weeks pregnant, has been admitted to a London hospital with acute morning sickness and is likely to stay for several days."
"Less than 12 weeks pregnant" is another way of saying that she conceived the child shortly after Sept 10th (12 weeks ago). Do you remember what happened in that window?
Sept 14th 2012:
Sept 18th 2012:
It is important to remember the King-Kill aspect of this. When Kate and Will got married, it was the same weekend that Osama (Japanese for "King") bin Laden was reportedly killed and Obama was declared the newborn Lion-King. (See our recent post and the upcoming Suicide Kings book for more)
All this symbolism came up again with the elections. What with the DNC showcasing a rising son/sun (Horus) between Osiris' phallus and lady Isis.
And the RNC playing up on the empty chair or throne:
Isis' "name literally means Queen of the Throne. Her original headdress was an empty throne chair belonging to her murdered husband, Osiris."
So, you're telling me that Kate conceived her child the exact same week that she was both "Isis Unveiled" and the "Queen of the Throne"??? Huh. Will wonders never cease.

Gosporn author Michael Schacht sent me this amazing little story from HuffPo:
Obama advisers David Axelrod and David Plouffe spoke with reporters after President Barack Obama's last of three campaign events Friday.
Near the end of the gaggle, Axelrod was asked about how the president feels in the last days of the campaign, and delivered possibly one of the more memorable lines of the campaign.
"I've known him for 20 years. We've worked closely for 10 years. I've never seen him more exhilarated than he is right now. He believes in what he's doing. He believes in what he's fighting for," Axelrod said.
"You know, you can see in the speech that he's delivering that he, you know, that he, this is coming from his loins," Axelrod said.
The reporters gathered around Axelrod tittered, and he was visibly thrown off balance for a moment. He tried to recover quickly by joking about the comment.
"And uh -- I just wanted to say loins. I wanted to see if I could get loins in the story," he said.
Mission accomplished.
Hmm, is that Loins or Lions? I think both. This is something I've written about a number of times before and which I go into much more detail in my upcoming Suicide Kings book, but for a quick recap of my position on this Lion/Loin thing, watch about 4 minutes of this video, from 32:30 to 36:40
Osama in Arabic means "Lion" and in Japanese means "King"
"the king girt his loins with the tail...of the sacrificed beast"
"And uh -- I just wanted to say loins. I wanted to see if I could get loins in the story."
This, of course, coming in the election week, where LionKingObama is running against "Mittens" --a nickname that most people connect with cats, hence the RomneyCat meme.
