The "Kaffir-Key" ?

Ebola hit the UK yesterday, specifically Glasgow.

Apparently a nurse, Pauline Cafferkey, has contracted the virus after helping out in Sierra Leone.

She flew back to Scotland via Casablanca and London.

Originally she was, somehow, being treated at Gartnavel Royal Hospital before being moved in a military operation to London's Royal Free Hospital. I say "somehow" because Gartnavel is a "mental health facility", originally a lunatic asylum for the "batty",  with a fairly dubious recent track record in patient care. Maybe "loonies" are, theoretically,  more dispensable.

Pauline hails from Blantyre, as did the famous "explorer" and missionary, David Livingstone. It does not have much else going for it.

The masonic lodge in Blantyre is named after David. It was "Chartered" on 5/2/1877. I don't usually add up digits, but it possibly alludes to 777, given freemasons love their numbers. (Lodge Livingstone)

Today's newspapers are claiming that of the 70 passengers on the flight from London, 63 have been "contacted". That leaves 7 out of 70, a fair cop of 7's.

And another, from 31/1/14

The archives of David Livingston are maintained by the Archives of the University of Glasgow. Wikipedia notes how his field diary, together with other original works, were published online on 11th November 2011. That's a canny bag of 11's.

Bob Geldof announced his plans for an "Ebola band aid" on 11 11.

The image up top comes from the mail on line of this morning. I have my doubts it is the same  Pauline and it has since been removed. However it is, potentially,  reminiscent of someone else charitable.

That someone has hit the headlines this week. Firstly because of a play currently being staged in London which apparently alludes to the premise that Prince Charles is not Prince Harry's father, rather it is James Hewitt. The Telegraph

Whilst secondly, a BBC Panorama programme - Reinventing the Royals - concerning Prince Charles in the aftermath of his wife's death to be shown this weekend, has been shelved, apparently after "pressure". BBC News

Di's flowers - The Queen was in Balmoral when she got the result

It could be that "hero nurse" Pauline is a bit "batty", as allegedly she removed her PPE "alien" protective uniform on Christmas Day to attend a Christmas service, thus contracting the disease. (The Telegraph)

On Christmas Day, in her ritual speech, the Queen broached Ebola.

On Christmas Day, at their annual gathering, Prince Harry was pictured with an Oriental girl who clutched a "royal" and "military" related spoof Batman phone cover. (Natural Born Killers)

Today's BBC claims that Ebola was first contracted by a two year old boy called Emile, playing in a bat-ridden hollow tree. 

Please remember that the Glasgow refuse truck incident from last week began at Royal Exchange, ending at Queen Street train station. Note too that Glasgow Council's environmental department, who oversee waste collections, are based at the R.E. (Mirrors)

Note my post title is not intended to be racist.

Batty ?

I noted HM Queen's annual early July pilgrimage to Scotland in my post, Royal Rituals, highlighting the Orange parade in Edinburgh's Royal Mile, and the subsequent disorder. It was the same weekend as Glastonbury - the giant festival held on the dairy farm - where we saw the Stones play Sympathy for the Devil as a giant phoenix rose from the pyramid. (Satan's Slaves)

Often in this blog I mention Scotland's, alleged Christian, patron saint Andrew, and his X shape. We saw it just recently when Alex Salmond whipped his out at Wimbledon in an ecstatic frenzy at Andy Murray's victory (where Andy "nearly forgot" his mum). Wimbledon began on the 24th of June and ended on 7/7.(Destiny's Child) & (Parallel lines)

Scotland's St. Andrews was where Kate and Wills met and kindled their relationship. When the Queen, unprecedently met the Pope at Holyrood, the Pontiff went for lunch, and prayers over St. Andrew's bones, with now-disgraced Cardinal O' Brien.

Bats, the furry flying creatures, "in European cultures" have a reputation for  "witchcraft, black magic and darkness", indeed Macbeth's witches incorporated them in their brew.

Today we read from the BBC of how 12 bats were found dead at the foot of a tree in St. Andrews, after, according to a post mortem, suffering "significant trauma". It is thought they were killed on Friday 28th June, or thereabouts. The specific location was the Eden Estuary. Unfortunately, no information is provided as to the species of tree, which may be important.

Two months and two days, or 63 days prior to the bat carnage and the day after a full moon,  Prince William, Kate and Harry visited the Warner Bros studio, where they played about with Harry Potter wands, whilst Wills announced he was over the moon to see the real Batmobile. I covered it in the post, It's a kind of magic, highlighting Hathor, the Egyptian goddess who "personified the the principles of joy, feminine love, and motherhood.....

... Hathor's identity as a cow, perhaps depicted as such on the Narmer Palette, meant that she became identified with another ancient cow-goddess of fertility, Bat."

As I have remarked before, indeed alluded to just last post, it appears that a new "Eden" beckons, with new "gods". 

Dark Knights ?

cheers

It's a kind of magic ?

Kate, immaculate in black and white

Yesterday, the day after the full moon, saw Prince William, pregnant Kate, and Harry attend the inauguration of the Warner Bros Studios in Hertfordshire. There they fooled around with Harry Potter wands and Wills got to sit in the Dark Knight Batmobile. (mail on line)


Wills noted during his "formal opening speech" that "To be honest, I’m over the moon just to have seen the real Batmobile and Batpod – you don’t do baby seats for those cars, do you, by any chance" 

I've written about Aleister Crowley recently. Crowley believed, probably quite rightly, that "Every nursery rime contains profound magical secrets which are open to every one who has made a study of the correspondences of the Holy Qabalah. To puzzle out an imaginary meaning for this "nonsense" sets one thinking of the mysteries". He actually wrote a whole chapter in one of his books (here) which dissected various rhymes and his interpretation of their allegorical meanings.

It got me thinking about Wills' comment, what with all the Harry Potter magic, but, unfortunately, Aleister never covered Hey Diddle Diddle, The Cat and the Fiddle, The Cow jumped over the Moon, The little dog laughed to see such Craft, And the Dish ran away with the Spoon.  

Others though believe that Hey Diddle is "connected with Hathor worship; that it refers to various constellations (Taurus, Canis minor, the Big Dipper etc.); that it describes the Flight from Egypt...". Though others would say that was nonsense.  (wiki)
 

Black and white cow

Hathor is an ancient Egyptian goddess who personified the the principles of joy, feminine love, and motherhood. She was one of the most important and popular deities throughout the history of Ancient Egypt. Hathor was worshipped by Royalty and common people alike....In other roles she was  goddess of music, dance, foreign lands and fertility who helped women in childbirth...Hathor's identity as a cow, perhaps depicted as such on the Narmer Palette, meant that she became identified with another ancient cow-goddess of fertility, Bat.

It surely is a mystery.

Holmes is where the heart is

Let's start with the naked, Santa-hatted rambler, Willy, AKA Stephen Gough - an ex Royal Marine - as noted in my last post. Some say he is batty. He never made it home and was re-arrested for breach of the  peace yesterday after a three-day resurrection; the location Townhill, Dunfermline - a place so quiet that it's wiki article really only mentions that it shares a church minister with the neighbouring village of Kingseat. 


Also up here in Scotland, Strathclyde police chief constable, Stephen House, has advised that he and his officers will now take responsibility for the Olympic football events due to take place in Glasgow, the security company G4S unable to deliver on it's contract as with London, where we see the military taking ownership. (The Scotsman)


Meanwhile, over in the USA, mild-mannered James "Jimmy" Holmes, goes berserk in Aurora, Denver, at the Batman premier, killing a dozen  and injuring many more. Denver airport is a hotbed for freemasonic symbolism, see Vigilant Citizen for examples.


Down in London, the Olympic torch was abseiled into the Tower of London last night as I noted a couple of posts ago. It was dropped from a Sea King helicopter by Royal Marine, Martin Williams at 20.12 BST, who handed the torch to Dame Kelly Holmes (no relation to James) on the rampants. Lord Coe, Chairman of the Games, noted that the tower was a fitting point for the flame to enter London because "it is where the power and the significance of the Monarch resides". (BBC News)


Curiously, back in 1967, Batman visited the Tower of London in a episode called  The Bloody Tower. It was season 3, episode 13 of the television series. An image from today's mail on line shows James Holmes parent's home. It appears to be house number 13310,  whilst his  motor vehicle carries the registration number 119 ROC.  The reader may need reminding that in Danny Boyle's Olympic opening ceremony there are due to be 119 farmyard animals; not forgetting the 911 reversal (see my post Caterwauling).
  
For sure, a Dark Knight is rising, one does not have to be Sherlock to see that.

cheers

Note - Madonna is due to play in Edinburgh tonight, talk is that if she produces a gun on stage she is liable to be arrested.
