The jokes on ?

Synchronicity is something I enjoy.

In yesterday's post, I noted how, on 11/11,  the final ceramic poppy had been placed in the moat of the Tower of London by cadet Harry Hayes. It was 118 days since the first one was "planted".

Yesterday, 12/11, 119 days after the first poppy was laid, volunteers began to clear the moat of the "Blood Swept Lands and Sea of Red" installation. (mail on line)

119 is a familiar number, albeit "backwards".

Back in 2012 - Holmes is where the heart is  - I noted the coincidence between James "Joker" Holmes' Denver Batman rampage and the Olympic Torch being dropped into the Tower of London to be received by Dame Kelly Holmes. Lord Coe, Chairman of the Games, noted  the Tower was a fitting point for the torch to enter London because: "it is where the power and the significance of the Monarch resides".

James Holmes' vehicle registration number was 119 ROC.

Again yesterday, two window cleaners allegedly got stuck on a cradle 69 floors up One World Trade Centre (built to replace the old one). Their "twin" Christian names were Juan, their surnames Lopez and  Lizama. (BBC)

Interestingly, J is the 10th letter of the alphabet and L is the 12th. Thus we have a possible KK- double 11 - resonator. Juan apparently means "gift from God".

The number 69 is sometimes depicted via yin and yang.

The Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles employ the yin/yang symbol. 

Back in July, the BBC reported that Paramount, who produced the new (New York based) Ninja Turtles movie, had apologised for a poster which appeared to reference the 911 "attacks", given both the imagery and the release date.

Perhaps there is a "lesson" to be learned from the cleaning windows aspect.

The whole world in "our" hands

We noted Elvis - The King - Presley's alleged only UK "visit", to Glasgow's Prestwick Airport on 3/3/1960 back in May, whilst Robert Burns pops up fairly recently here given his "masonic" connotations. Probably the most obvious symbol of the ongoing importance to the poet's craftwork was at last year's Olympic relay, when on day 33 the torch snaked back in to Scotland, to leave from the Burns statue in Dumfries on day 34 for a 121 mile journey back south of the border. As noted often, 33's are important, as are double 11's, and 121 is 11 squared. It's also worth noting the solar symbolism, given that the date was 21st June, Prince William's 30th and the sun drenched summer solstice. Fruit for Thought


Today it is reported a "plea" is being considered to rename Prestwick to Robert Burns Prestwick Airport and no, I don't think it is an April Fool although the media this year appear to have concentrated on spoof Scottish independence stories for whatever reason, make up your own mind and bear in mind a forthcoming global society. (BBC)

Also worth highlighting is tennis player and Dunblane massacre survivor, Andy Murray, and his new hotel in  Perthshire. It was purchased from the Eden family and has bedrooms and suites named after famous Scotsman including Robert the Bruce, William Wallace, Sir Alex Feguson, Sir Chris Hoy, and Sir Sean Connery. Maybe there is little else to write about it, but the mail on line closes it's article with a picture of the chess board in the main lounge and captions it as such.

To close, given the references to the number 3, it is worth noting Prince William and Kate's at-long-last photographic appearance on Mother's Day with Baby George, the date 30/3, 8 months and 8 days since we last "officially" saw him.

Also note from  today the criticism of the Government's sell off of Royal Mail; apparently there is anger in some quarters that the shares were priced too low, @ 330p, when offered. BBC

Binary Finery

Yesterday's mail on line reports on how London's Regent Street is marking the imminent Queen's coronation "celebrations" by means of 189 purple and gold flags.

My understanding is that the "elite" often use numbers in their rituals. This can be seen by means of freemasonry, for example, where numbers - as symbols - are deeply embedded in their craft.

Often, the numbers 11, or double eleven, or twenty two, or multiples thereof, seem prominent.

For example, if we turn back in time to 2008, the 27th of March to be specific, we saw what appeared to be a ritual, when  1122 police  carried out an "army style" raid on the North London borough of Finsbury Park in a crackdown on drug dealers and petty criminals. The same day, in football club Arsenal's stadium - only a very short distance away - Gordon Brown met then French President, Sarkozy,  for a press conference (Daily express) (BBC news) :

Speaking to reporters on the pitch ahead of formal talks, Mr Brown announced a joint British-Franco initiative to help to bring education to 16 million children in Africa.


"The communique was particularly detailed about planned cooperation on defence projects - including "a joint industrial strategy for complex weapons" and co-operation to "develop European military capabilities"

 Bear in mind too that 27 is 3 cubed and March is the 3rd month.

There's the JFK assassination on 22/11

Then there's Prince William, and his dark, "Real William" front page appearance in Hello magazine, issue 1111, publication date 22/02/2010.

Uri Geller is infatuated with the digits double eleven. Uri bought Lamb Island in the Firth of Forth close to Edinburgh, as he believes returning Egyptian Princess, Scota, stashed her loot there. He purchased it on 11/2/2010. (Mutton dressed as lamb)

Armistice Day, 11/11

Glasgow Rangers football club, a very long saga, still not completed. Glasgow Rangers supporters are generally Protestant/Presbyterian and like to remember William of Orange. They went into administration in, let's say, suspicious circumstances. A Mr. Craig Whyte lodged papers at court to announce this fact, on 13th February 2012. On the same date in 1692 we saw the Glencoe Massacre, some sort of blood sacrifice to William and his House of Stuart wife Mary, who had recently been made joint sovereigns of the United Kingdom, although their coronation was not until 11th April - the 101st day of the year. Going back to Rangers, there has been a lot of discourse diverting and ruse creating since then, under court reference P221/12. (11th April is also the date Prince William received his "wings" and the date the Stone of Destiny was returned to Arbroath Abbey after repatriation on Christms Day).

The Scottish Sun from today reports of how Craig Whyte has lodged further papers in a "last ditch bid to sue Rangers". Apparently he has submitted a 333 page dossier.

The 33 degrees of freemasonry

Oh, and whilst 189 flags might break down to a relatively innocuous, or maybe not, 3 cubed x7, it's binary equivalent is notable,  a palindromic 10111101.

cheers

Note, while on the subject of numbers and the 22, it is worth noticing the time of the Woolwich machete murder - 2.20pm. Then there's the Boston marathon, the FBI reports giving the time of first explosion at 11 minutes to three. Whilst, perhaps, there is some significance in masonic terms, given their third degree ritual, in the finding of Dzhokhar Tsarnaev on the Slip Away 2 by owner David Henneberry : "I got three steps up the ladder and rolled the shrink-wrap. I didn't expect to see anything, but I saw blood on the floor of the boat. A good amount of blood". (here).

More on Rangers and a possible other "sacrifice" - Ger-kill and hide.

Some say that purple and gold are the colours of Druids.
