Growing pains

From my February post, Bride of Frankenstein, re the choice of 11th April as a date for Dunblane massacre survivor, Andy Murray's wedding :

It seems, to me, a rather ominous date to choose, the 101st day of the year...

Remember that Andy was at Dunblane Primary on the date of  "Thomas Hamilton's" massacre. He "escaped" by hiding in the headmaster's office.

During the legal enquiry into the massacre, Knight of the Thistle, Lord Cullen, allegedly received an anonymous letter. It was dated 11th April 1996 and stated...

From the Independent dated 12th April 1996: "The Dunblane primary school gym where Thomas Hamilton massacred 16 children and their teacher was demolished yesterday. No more than a pile of rubble remains on the spot"...

The allegedly Biblical Stone of Destiny, after it's repatriation by law students on Christmas Day 1950 from Westminster, was missing for a few months before, on the 11th April 1951...

From my March post:  Blood, sweat and tears

There's a couple of standing stones within the Cathedral, one an old Pictish example which was found close by, the other a tribute to the children lost in the massacre...

Some people who follow the "ley line energy" theories, believe that statues and suchlike are not randomly placed, but rather they too have a strategic purpose.

From here

We saw hailstones on the mainly cloudy morning of  Andy Murray's wedding, but there was worse to come.

Well respected media photographer, Gordon Jack, the day before at the rehearsal, slipped and hit his head on a gravestone in the Cathedral grounds. Murray was only "feet away".  (here but everywhere)

He died in hospital, on 11/4,  just after the ceremony concluded. He was aged 47.

cheers

Bride of "Frankenstein" ?

Today's tabloid Scottish Sun front page headline screamed : EXCLUSIVE : ANDY MURRAY'S WEDDING DATE, 11TH APRIL.

Since 7.00am when I saw it, the rest of the MSM appear to have confirmed it as factual, it is the correct date, the wedding to take place 64 days from now in Andy's Cromlix Hotel, close to Dunblane where he grew up.

It seems, to me, a rather ominous date to choose, the 101st day of the year.

Remember that Andy was at Dunblane Primary on the date of  "Thomas Hamilton's" massacre. He escaped by hiding in the headmaster's office. 

During the legal enquiry into the massacre, Knight of the Thistle, Lord Cullen, allegedly received an anonymous letter. It was dated 11th April 1996 and stated :

"It is in the public interest that Lord Cullen be asked if he is a Freemason, given the widely held view by the public that Thomas Hamilton's Masonic affiliation was probably the reason that the Ombudsman overturned an earlier decision by Central Regional Council in 1983 to prevent Hamilton from running youth clubs, and that his Masonic affiliation probably facilitated his application for a gun licence."

The letter-writer said anyone involved in the inquiry who turned out to be a Freemason should be forced to resign - and that included Lord Cullen. The letter went on: "It is far too important to allow the Masonic implication to be whitewashed by furtive operations in the Freemasons, intent only in 'diverting a discourse' - a Masonic ruse - from the involvement of Freemasons and Freemasonry."

Lord Cullen apparently responded to this verbally, stating ""taken aback by the letter" and "not a Freemason, never has been". The Scotsman (Ref 1-1099013)

Meanwhile, on exactly the same date of the same year :

From the Independent dated 12th April 1996: "The Dunblane primary school gym where Thomas Hamilton massacred 16 children and their teacher was demolished yesterday. No more than a pile of rubble remains on the spot"

Also on 11th April :

On 11th April 1689, William of Orange and his House of Stuart wife, Mary, had their coronation. A couple of years later saw the "blood sacrifice" Glencoe massacre, the MacDonalds being executed on the grounds that they had not been quick enough in pledging allegiance to the new "joint monarchs". Jimmy Savile dug Glencoe.

The allegedly Biblical Stone of Destiny, after it's repatriation by law students on Christmas Day 1950 from Westminster, was missing for a few months before, on the 11th April 1951, being left at Arbroath Abbey.  It now resides in Edinburgh Castle.

The number 101 pops up in  Orwell's 1984  :

You asked me once, what was in Room 101. I told you that you knew the answer already. Everyone knows it. The thing that is in Room 101 is the worst thing in the world.

From the movie, The Matrix, we potentially see a 666 (here) :

Q: The number 101 appears several times in the movie. What does it mean?
 
A: 101 actually appears a number of times in all three films, and though no one knows exactly what it means (if anything), the popular explanation is this: 101 is binary for 5 (which to a computer is the sixth number because computers count from 0), and the events of the three films take place in the 6th interation of the Matrix. Neo is the sixth One, this is the sixth time the machines have destroyed Zion, etc. 

Meanwhile there's Aleister Crowley, who believed Boleskine House, Loch Ness,Scotland to be a focal point for energies. Back in 1904, a leap year thus an extra day slotted in to the calendar, Aleister was hanging about the Great Pyramid in Egypt, consorting with an fourth dimensional being/entity/angel he called Aiwass. After 3 days he - Aiwass, utilsing Crowley as a "medium" completed his The Book of the Law. The date was 10th April, whilst we know that the ancient Egyptians were fond of the Sun and it's movements above.

There's one other notable 11th April happening, and that's summer-solstice born, Prince William, receiving his wings from his father. The image below speaks volumes, as do the happenings noted above.

Unless of course, I'm barking.

Anniversaries

 Today 11th April, the 101st day of the year, is the anniversary of the return of the "Stone of Destiny" to Scotland after repatriation on Christmas Day 1950 from Westminster Abbey. Some claim it is Jacob's pillow stone. Others claim it is not the real-deal. However, symbolically, it was left on the alter of Arbroath Abbey in 1951, the place where the Scottish declaration of independence (from England) was forged -  The Declaration of Arbroath. Once the police discovered it's whereabouts it was returned to London in time for the current Queen's coronation, yet it eventually made it's way back here, luckily landing up at Edinburgh Castle on St. Andrew's Day, 30th November (30/11) 1996.

Today the BBC reports, in a small article, of how a huge military exercise is to be located in Scotland. It begins on the 15th of this month and climaxes on the 29th. From the linked report we read more on the war games, which comprise troops from 10 different countries:

The Royal Marine Commandos will make a landing at Barry Buddon training camp in Angus, near Dundee.

 Defence Secretary Philip Hammond said the exercise will ensure the forces are prepared "to meet any challenge".

"They give us the chance to test the way the different services and different nations work together, something that is vital in a multilateral world," he added.

The exercise will involve 13,000 military personnel in total, including forces from Sweden, Germany, Brazil and the US.

Note that Barry Buddon (22?) is only 9 miles or so from Arbroath.

Note too that Prince William's 2nd (paper) wedding anniversary is also the 29th April,  that he met Kate at St. Andrew's University where they both studied, and that the Roman numeral 10 is an X, as per the St. Andrew's Cross. Don't forget the Pope and  disgraced Cardinal O'Brien praying over the bones of St. Andrew, just after the Pontiff's historic meeting with the Queen at Holyrood, and also other "coincidences" which surround the 11th April,  most pertinently William of Orange and his House of Stuart wife Mary being crowned joint sovereigns of  the United Kingdom in 1689, 311 years before the 20th century -although their reign started on 13th February.

Curiously, Protestant, William of Orange loyal, football club, Glasgow Rangers, filed legal papers to enter administration on 13th February 2012, under the direction of their then owner, Craig Whyte. They entered administration the following - Valentine's - day.  It's something I have written a lot about here, seeing it as highly symbolic, but suffice to say that today the tabloids newspapers are full of the story that Craig's Scottish abode - Castle Grant - was yesterday raided by the police, in an attempt to gather evidence re his alleged dodgy Rangers takeover dealings (here). Castle Grant has an interesting history.
 

Winged Wills - on 11/4

cheers

Note - I wrote about 11/4  just a few posts ago.




wiki - Stone of Destiny

Lord of the Rings

A trilogy of Scottish based Olympic / monarchical stories hit the headlines over the  last few days.


The first from yesterday regarded cyclist, Christopher Hoy, who has been voted to carry the Union flag for Team GB, something he also did at the closing/handover ceremony in Beijing. As I noted back then his name seems apt, what with the Christopher; whilst his pedal-powered sport resonates the new approaching astrological cycle of Aquarius. A different spoke in the wheel, so to speak. The BBC report also has time to mention the inclusion of archer, Alison Williamson, although none of the other contenders get a mention.

On Saturday past we learned again from the BBC that Scottish First Minister, Alex Salmond, is to lead a trade delegation to London for the games, "showcasing  industries and promoting investment". A "Scotland House" will be set up in the heart of London with more than forty events, advertising Scottish  culture, food and drink to the unwary Olympic visitors. 

Then today, it was revealed that a "military take" on Disney's Brave soundtrack is to be included at the Royal Edinburgh Military Tattoo, based at Edinburgh Castle. Along with this, the  evening is due to conclude with "an orchestral re-enactment of the Queen's Coronation of 1953", featuring "the preparations, crowds lining the street, bands parading, the Abbey waiting for a princess, the solemn processional, the anointing of a Queen, and the oaths of allegiance". (BBC)


It's worth pointing out again that the Stone of Destiny, if it is that, is located at Edinburgh Castle, and that it is highly likely that any future monarch will be crowned upon it. The Stone was repatriated on Christmas Day 1950 and left outside Arbroath Abbey on 11th April 1951 before being returned to Westminster. However, on St. Andrew's Day 1996, it was officially handed back to the Scots by Prince Andrew at Edinburgh Castle. Bear in mind here that 11th April 2008 was the date that Prince William received his military "wings" from his father, I wrote about  it here, whilst noting in the process that Richard Dannatt, then head of the British Army, was undertaking the first official celebration of summer events marking the centenary of the Territorial Army on the same day at Edinburgh Castle. Don't forget too, that on  11th April 1689, William of Orange and Mary 2nd were crowned joint Sovereigns of the United Kingdom.


Oh, and don't forget the solitary franchised Edinburgh Castle ice cream van, it's registration WMS 666 T  - a big clue to the potential future.

cheers

Note - When "Protestant" William and Mary "took" the crown, many powers were (allegedly) transferred to parliament rather than the monarchy. Watch the situation reverse.
