Rites of passage

Masonic Scottish Rite symbol

First things first, I have revamped my last post a little - it appeared to contradict itself slightly - and also taken the opportunity to change the title.

Anyhow, in the same spirit of colonisation as noted therein, it appears that none other than top astronaut, Chris Hadfield, yesterday briefly visited Prestwick Airport, Scotland, on his return to Canada, after splashing down in Kazakhstan earlier in the day. Remember that Scotland has done a lot of colonising, not always on a voluntary basis. (BBC News)

My thoughts on space-colonisation have been expressed before; it seems that once the New World Order is completed here, on home-base Earth, "our" goal, maybe light years ahead, is to infinity and beyond, setting up space stations and building domes on any suitable planets. Hopefully too there will be inhospitable aliens, hell bent on terrorism, for us to fight and thus watch proceedings on TV. If not, well the elite can make them up.

Chris is obviously not the first VIP  to come to Prestwick, nor the last, however it is interesting to note probably the most famous of all, Elvis - The King - Presley, who briefly visited on 3/3/1960 just after finishing his military service. It was, allegedly, his only visit to the United Kingdom.  There is no record of whether he attended Mother Lodge 0 of freemasonry,  Kilwinning, just a few miles away. Note the date 3/3.

Jimmy Savile has met Elvis. From here , Jimmy's own words :

"I remember my first meeting with Elvis, when I presented him with his first British-earned Gold Disc for 'It's Now Or Never' in the winter of 1960, while he was filming 'Wild In The Country' in Hollywood.I actually didn't have an appointment or even an address when I arrived in LA with that framed disc under my arm. I just had a scrap of paper with a phone number of the Elvis Presley office in Paramount Studios, so I dialled the number and someone answered. 'I'v just popped over from England with this Gold record for Elvis', I said"

Jimmy turned up half an hour late for the meeting, at 3.30.

A brotherly handshake / squaring the golden circle ?

cheers

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.
