Interesting - making manifest all that is hidden - article in today's mail on line under the headline : Introducing the Satanic sex cult that's snaring stars such as Peaches Geldolf.

It's "Aleister Crowley's", "creepy" Ordo Templi Orientis, to blame according to the publication, which goes on to reference Jimmy Page - who bought Crowley's Scottish Boleskin House- and Jay Z with his Baphomet and eye of Horus symbolism. Note that in Scotland a leister is an instrument used for poaching salmon as imaged top. Note the barbs to prevent escape.

Jimmy Page starred in the Beijing Olympic handover way back, something I believed to be a parody of Wizard of Oz (here), whilst his Zoso symbol seems rather revealing. Remember that "in oz" is an anagram of Zion.

Jay Z too has been dealt with here, Divide and Conquer, when I noted the coincidental 12th July (William of Orange) concert this coming summer in London at the Olympic Park.

cheers

Note - Crowley was born Edward Alexander Crowley. He was not the founder of the OTO contrary to the mail on line report. (wiki OTO). Whether or not Toto, Dorothy's dog in Wizard of Oz, is significant, I do not have a scooby.

Supernatural ?

In my last post I noted the potential "magical" symbolism between the abandoned Mercedes motor car in the car park of Edinburgh's Waverley Station car park and the U.S. Super Bowl, not forgetting Harry Potter, Prince Charles and Camilla.

Just to add some more stock to the broth, today's BBC reports of how the black-out at the Super Bowl was nothing to do with Scottish firm, Aggreko, who were providing power for the broadcasts and part of the part time show featuring Beyonce. Apparently their equipment operated "flawlessly". (See Twilight Language for more on the darkness)

Aggreko also supplied power for the London Olympics, their goat keeping chief executive is Rupert Soames. Rupert used to be a disc-jockey, in fact he spun the discs at Charles and Diana's engagement party. It's a small world. (here)

Meanwhile, moving to France, something I missed was Olympic "James Bond/Tower of London/speedboat" star and philanthropist, David Beckham, signing for Paris Saint Germain on Thursday past, 31st January. There is a similarity between the PSG "Eiffel Tower" logo and that of Mercedes. Beckham is presented via the media as a demi-god, no doubt we will see that crown move elsewhere in the foreseeable future, it's all part of the scam.

Back in Edinburgh, Phillipa Langley hit the headlines. Apparently she was researching a play on King Richard the 3rd when somehow, on a hot summer's day in a car park in Leicester, she developed goosebumps and became cold. Uncannily, she realised that she was walking on his grave and so funded a dig of the site - which indeed contained the bones of the King. The DNA confirmation was revealed on Monday past. (here)

cheers

Note potential subliminal "lion's paw" freemasonic "signal"  by Beckham, on "Saint David" image. More lion's paw malarky here. Note that in the wild, a male lion, when taking over a pride, will kill any other male lion's cubs. Note too St. Jerome (Treaty of Lisbon) and his alleged wounded lion, which left drops of blood from it's foot as Jerome travelled.

Monkey Business - 3

Part one, here, part 2 here.

This is probably more of the the same, but I have tried to condense and conclude. It's difficult to take everything back to base, one has to remember that everything in the performance was there for a purpose, subliminal or otherwise.  My overall impression is of Danny Boyle sitting with four record decks and a mixer. The  four records are the monarchy and it's army, revolution, Glastonbury Tor, the old and the new. Like all good disc-jockeys he speeds up and  slows down tracks, whilst utilising the crossfader to weave them together for the ultimate groove. It's a tapestry.  It appears "we" were participants in a global televisual performance, yet somehow it felt to me like a chimpanzees' tea party - with us as  sleep-walking chimps ushering in a new zookeeper - that's "their" comedy gold.


We began with the Green and Pleasant section, although no mention was made by the commentators of  Glastonbury Tor, nor indeed the tree which sat upon it. Previous media reports have suggested that Danny Boyle was inspired by William Blake's, And did those feet in ancient time, poem, which was, in itself, the source of the hymn Jerusalem. The background to it all is that Jesus is alleged to have visited Glastonbury and is linked to the idea of a second coming (wiki). Blake's poem includes the line, "Bring me my chariot of fire", the inspiration for  the film and a reference to the Biblical 2 Kings 2:11. The tree reminds me of the thorn allegedly planted at Glastonbury by Joseph of Arimathea. The movie image below is of a tartan attired Ben Hur, going to hear Jesus preach.

Suddenly though we submerged, then rose, at a stone marked Isles of Wonder, the source of the river Thames. We flew downstream following a dragonfly. From wiki we note that the insect has "sinister" connotations to some and that it's nicknames include "devil's darning needle". We hear the Sex Pistols, God Save the Queen, as we enter London, but only the first line, Lydon's voice in stark contrast to the previous scenes. Then it's the Clash and their London Calling, the B side  of which was Armagideon Time, a song originally written by Willi Williams. London Calling was inspired by the BBC World Service wartime broadcasts. We return to the stadium to see balloons bursting on a countdown (2 sixes fail) and the hymn Jerusalem sung by a young boy.


Isambard Kingdom Brunel appears from a horse drawn coach advertising biscuits, pre-requisite for a tea party. Swing Low Sweet Chariot is sung by the choir, a song accredited to Wallis Willis who was, like William Blake, inspired by 2 Kings 2:11.  Brunel recites Caliban from the Tempest, whilst the tree rises and people climb out the hole and down the Tor, surely some sort of reference to our "roots". Drums are omnipresent through the affair, their hypnotic effect is well documented.

Suddenly it's pandemonium, the word itself sourced from Milton's Paradise Lost. Suffragettes appear as do the entrepreneurs of the time - it's  the Industrial Revolution, but somehow the immigrant carrying Windrush ship of Midsummer 1948 has transpired. Individuals in brightly coloured Beatle-like outfits arrive at this time too.  Giant chimneys have popped up and molten metal flows down a tadpole shape to be hammered into rings, which float into the sky. Pearly Kings and Queens appear - "the other Royal Family". The vote-desiring ladies, and money-mad men, join the Tor.


Suddenly we are in a seamstress or tailors room. Remember the dragonfly. A Happy and Glorious patch is being embroidered, then sewn, onto a red military uniform. We are at Buckingham Palace. A taxi bearing a subliminal double 11 badge arrives with 007 inside. He meets the Queen at precisely 8.30pm. Twin corgis perform, Bond and HM leave in a helicopter -  a flying chariot which flies over iconic London landmarks  including the twin-towered bridge. Suddenly it's trickery, the Queen appearing to parachute into the stadium, her stunt double a Gary Connery, reinforcing the Bond aspect.


The Queen is in her seat, just in front of Rowan Williams, archbishop and druid. Members of the military carry in the Union flag (Jack) and take it to the Tor. A sign-language choir, Kaos, sing God Save the Queen in their pyjamas as the banner is tediously hoisted. It's time for the children's literature and National Health Service section - and grizzly it is, I can hardly bear it. JK Rowling appears, as do hairy monkeys and a giant puppet Potter's Voldermort. It's all very dark. Nannies, not goats but Mary Poppins, save the day, the children end up happy in their beds which resemble prison bars, or even cattle pens. It's a nanny state.


Mr Bean next, along with a red and white rucksack and  pentagram embossed drink container and a straw at a thirty three degree angle. Allegedly it's "evil" because two points of the star are uppermost, rather than one (wiki - European Occultism). Bean, after looking at his 'phone, retrieves a tissue from the backpack whilst the London Philharmonic Orchestra play Chariots of Fire. Bean dreams that he is involved in the movie.


A new act has opened, the house, which has also inflated from below, like the towers and puppets. Michael Fish, the weatherman, warns of a  hurricane. It's a false alarm but there is definitely a change of tempo. It's now like Boyle is hitting the crossfader on a the mixer, the old being blended with the new. Old skool favourites are mashing into new ones. Anyone got any ecstacy. The dancers go wild, the majority colourful, although they are infused with black and white clad performers. A lost-phone love story is  acted out; overall the generations are coming together as one. The Sex Pistols', Pretty Vacant, inclusion speaks for itself, as does the inclusion of New Order's Blue Monday. Frankie goes to Hollywood tell us to relax as the house resembles a giant, perhaps all-seeing, eye whilst Annie Lennox wishes us sweet dreams. Trainspotting and Edinburgh's Princes Street  follow with the Prodigy's Firestarter, we conclude with a lot of kissing, since perhaps we are loved up. Kate 'n Wills and Planet of the Apes are imaged. 

Dizzee Rascal and grime music follow, Dizzee in red and white, notes he's bonkers believing he's free whilst dancers ascend the Tor. The double edged sword, Muse, play, they are telling us of the "conspiracy" whilst apparently embracing it as they urge revolution. Yeah, but revolution into what, a repackaged version of the same? Suddenly the music stops and the house rises to reveal the inventor of the world wide web. The stadium lights up - "This is for everyone". We are visually reminded  of the 1948 Olympics, army and monarchy are de rigueur. Nothing changes.


Another montage, this time the Olympic Torch Relay. Beckham, Edinburgh, red, white and blue, more monarchy, more army, more police, more London iconic landmarks. Then we are up to date again, with David Beckham in the manner of James Bond. Time to slow down, an unusual sun-drenched, yet dark, 7/7 tribute, and Scottish girl, Emile Sande, sings Abide with Me. The commentator, Trevor Nelson, ties this up with football. It's a funny old game and it's time for the athletes parade.


Last out are team GB, in quasi Druidic sports apparel, all white and gold, with hoods. Chris Hoy - The Flying Scotsman -  leads the charge, he shares the same nickname as Eric Liddell, the main man from Chariots of Fire. Bowie's "Heroes" (see the Berlin Wall)  plays as the ticker-paper falls - resonating a "vote" for every human being in the one-world democracy. More monarchy again from the Royal Box, and the Tor, covered in all the nation's flags. We are one, the walls are tumbling down. 

The Artic monkeys remind us of 1984 and robots, their drummer's surname, Helders, jumps out from the back of his Orange Order like sash-top. A firework crown and then a cover of  Come Together by the Beatles. Curious winged cyclists appear from under the Monkey's, they are allegedly doves. 

Another focus on the Tor, Coe and Rogge wax lyrical. Then back to the Royal Box for the Queen to officially open the games. Then back to the Tor for some-more military flag raising. Then, yet again, to Beckham and eventually seven young athletes, led by a Scottish boy. Eventually we are at the cauldron, it ignites and Pink Floyd's, Eclipse, plays.


We close with scarlet-stripe adorned Paul McCartney and Hey Jude.  Jude the short form of Judas and the German for Jew; the B side of the single release - Revolution. 

The magic is over, but not for long.

Musing between the lines

The official London Olympic song was unveiled last night on BBC radio 1, a track called Survival from the band Muse. (BBC)

For those unaware of the basics of the group, we note from the New Musical Express review of it that their lead singer, Matt, is a man "who’s usually to be found exposing global power-cult conspiracies in song".

Which leads us again to Pseudo-Occult Media and an old 2009 post: The Duality of Muse. Ben, the author, has a fondness for the trio and tries within the post to give a balanced perspective on the obvious symbolism within their recordings and promotional material, including masonic chequerboards, an image of them ascending a a spiral staircase with a bust of (freemason) George Washington, the ubiquitous sex-kittens, the horns of lucifer, etc. etc. Not to mention the top image posted here with the prominent MK Ultra, an alleged CIA mind control programme and one of their song titles.

Whatever the position, NME seem to hit the nail firmly on the head with their sum-up of the lyrical content of the music: "It’ll certainly make the rest of the world’s athletes believe that Britain is populated solely by immortal classical Gods", which is indeed the Olympic - British Israel - point, not forgetting the Book of Revelations script following.

cheers

Rites of Passage

Day 33 of the London Olympic torch relay and, as one would imagine, it's thick with symbolism.

It started in England's York, the torch commencing from it's historic Minster before boarding a  steam train - Scots Guardsman - for  a journey to Thirsk where it was met by pipes and drums from the 1st Battalion Scots Guards. (Originally, The Flying Scotsman train was meant to be used, however it requires "remedial work"). From Thirsk it will travel up to Carlisle, the end of today's show, yet somehow tomorrow's leg begins up in Scotland, at Robert Burns famed Dumfries. Carlisle to Dumfries is, according to (AA routefinder), a journey of exactly 33 miles; surely a highly symbolic detour, especially as it has to travel back through Carlisle tomorrow. (BBC report)

 Carlisle is the place where Mary Queen of Scots was held captive before her beheading. Mary was a Stuart and a Catholic and the mother of James 6th and 1st - UK amalgamater and Bible reviser, the Stuarts not long afterwards being ousted from the throne by Protestant, Willam of Orange (King Billy), although the religious angle was all divide and conquer of the masses, to be frank.  I went into this in a bit more depth back in May 2011 (here) when Lady Gaga performed at Carlisle, appearing from a coffin, attired in PVC prosthetic pregnant stomach, and dedicating jazz track Orange Coloured Sky to Prince William and Kate. She ended her show with a song called Judas, and was no doubt well remunerated for her time. Bear in mind that a lot of James' popularity with the masses was due to the unfortunate circumstances of his mother's death. 

Bear in mind too that tomorrow is Prince William's 30th birthday, cut from the womb during an eclipse on the longest day of the year. Bear in mind that his mother Diana was from Stuart lineage.

Let's not forget Glasgow Rangers here, the historic football club with the Orange Protestant, King Billy faithful supporters, who just liquidated,  and currently rebirth under the auspices of Yorkshireman, Charles Green. They were in the headlines again today after their ex manager Walter Smith gave up on another takeover.


Neither should we forget Walter Disney. For if it wasn't for him we might never have had the movie Brave, which premiered in L.A. earlier this week. Note from top image Scotland's political top-dog, Alex Salmond, at the event, and note his trousers of many colours. Note too, how the carpet was changed from red to green for this event.(see my recent posts re "greening" : A New Eden and Beachcombing)

Menage a trois

Exactly one hundred days to go until the London Olympics, and today we are told of it's motto : "Inspire a generation". Meanwhile various tributes have been revealed, including a giant floral design at Kew Gardens (Royal Botanic) in London, unveiled by 2012 (Zion) chairman, Seb Coe.

Up here in Edinburgh, home of the alleged Stone of Destiny, matters too fell together today as approval was granted for a giant, nightime illuminated, 8 metre high set of Olympic Rings to be installed on the Mound (which links the Old and New town) along with a ferris wheel which will be situated in Princes Street Gardens. As noted last month (square roots), this then means that anyone voyeurising the situation from the uber-busy Princes Street will have the (phallic) Scott Monument on one side, the Ferris wheel on the other and, square in the middle on the man-made Mound: the Castle and the Olympic rings.

As also noted last month (cool for cats), the solitary Edinburgh Castle based ice cream van's registration number, WMS 666 T, tells more of the ongoing Biblical story being performed in these highly delicate times.

Unhenged

Stonehenge is coming to Glasgow, en-route the London Olympics, according to yesterday's Scotland on Sunday.

It appears that artist Jeremy Deller is to construct a plastic, interactive, replica of the monument, named Sacrilege, which will be initially displayed on Glasgow Green before being transported to London, where it will as based as a "cultural tourist attraction during the Olympic Games".

This, of course, ties in with the semi-obscured British Israel connotations of the forthcoming games and indeed with William Blake's Jerusalem, the latter inspired by the story that Jesus visited Stonehenge / Glastonbury with his uncle, Joseph of Arimathea.

Satan's waves

Yesterday saw a stramash at the annual Boat Race between elite universities Cambridge and Oxford, on the River Thames in London. A well educated, Oz-born protester-of-some-description, Trenton Oldfield, somehow managed to swim in the way of the boats, causing the contest to be restarted. Apparently, he writes a blog in which he advocates this type of behaviour for the London Olympics, although I am not too sure as to why.

This has led to BOA (British Olympic Association) chairman, Colin Moynihan, today noting of how this incident justifies the unprecedented - police state - security arrangements which are to put in place for the event : "In many respects that is the biggest ask of the Games: you are not just talking about the competitions, you are talking about the pre-Games training camps, athletes will come well in advance based around the country, you've got the torch relay coming up, the public need to be protected".

Obviously though, once the public become accustomed to the constricted level of security - akin to something out of Orwell's 1984 - it will be duplicated elsewhere: from deviancy comes the norm. This is the pattern for the future.

Meanwhile, in Rome last night, we saw another cloaked, and fish hatted, individual, talking of light and of how "mankind is groping in the dark" and "unable to distinguish good from evil". He never mentioned the Olympics directly though.

Bloodlines

Most will know of the Ides of March, a day in Roman times dedicated to their war god Mars, perhaps best remembered through "Shakespeare's" Julius Caesar play, the Roman general assassinated on that date back in 44BC after being forewarned by a soothsayer of his impending and savage murder.

This year's 15th March has been chosen by the London Olympic 2012 organisers as the date that the 6.6 million tickets will go on sale for what chairman, Lord Coe, described, Billy Smart's Circus style, as the "greatest show on earth".


Maybe I have been thinking too much about resurrections given Mark Kennedy/ Stone (allegedly born 7/7/69) and "his" Osiris resonating Tamarisk barge, as noted yesterday, but is that not a coffin like shape surrounding the ominous date in the above billboard display; to the left of the crown shaped stadium.

Whatever, it should indeed be some show.

Anyone for Tennis ?

Groomed for stardom, Kings of Leon, jumped upon the British royalty train today with widespread media coverage over a game of table tennis which their drummer, the aptly named, Nathan Followill, indulged in courtesy of "great dude" Prince Harry. The tournament is said to have taken place shortly after the Kings played the O2 arena in London last month.

The gig was covered here at the time, really because of the bus tour fire synchronicity - the previous evening seeing the majority of the lights at the London Olympic stadium ignited (here), only the very top corner (capstone) of the triangular (pyramidal) lighting stands remaining dark.

The following "lunar eclipsed" morning - the shortest day of the year - saw the Kings' O2 inferno.

cheers

No bones about it

Tonight is the winter solstice, midwinter, the shortest and thus darkest day of the year, all coinciding, rarely, with a total lunar eclipse.

Meanwhile in snow-white London, the Olympic stadium will be illuminated for the first time this evening, a plethora of sport stars and politicians witnessing the electrifying of the 532 individual HID lamps which light up the arena. From Bible Wheel (Revelations) re the "hidden" properties of the number 532:

"I am Alpha and Omega, the beginning and the ending, saith the Lord, which is, and which was, and which is to come, the Almighty"

The Number 532 is deeply integrated with many expressions of Divinity

Meanwhile, coincidentally today, the official range of "Royal Wedding" bone china went on sale; bone china being famed for it' s whiteness and translucency, or shine, notwithstanding longevity.

cheers

Note -Since I initially posted the ritual has taken place (here), the switch hit by ("elite bloodlined" -see previous post) David Cameron. It appears that there are in fact 14 triangular lighting towers, each capable of holding 44 lights, although each only have 38 at the moment, hence the 532. However, if, or surely when, they are fully luminated, there will be a total of 616 - a number that many would contest was the original pre King James' edition "Biblical" number of the beast , a fact pointed out to me by aferrismoon some time ago. Also, I have added a photo of the crown/halo/eye like stadium.

2012 -The whole world in their hands ?

The built up for the closing ceremony and handover to London of the Olympic flag this coming Sunday started towards the latter stages of last week, when on Thursday our Prime Minister Gordon Brown visited Helmand in Afghanistan to greet British troops - members of the 16th Air Assault Brigade - before carrying on to Kabul for a meeting with the Afghan President Hamid Karzai.




The brigade's sign is that of a light-blue and maroon shield with a light blue striking eagle outlined in maroon emblazoned on it, intended to represent its offensive role




We read from the BBC of Mr Brown's motivational words to the soldiers; telling them they were the "heroes of our country" and that they were in the "front line in the fight against the Taleban"( a statement later obviously confirmed by his visit to a field hospital to see some injured military personnel). Reassuringly though, Gordon also told them Orwellian newspeak style how: "You know that by what you are doing here you prevent terrorism coming to Britain" and that their work was part of creating a democratic and "terrorist-free" Afghanistan.

All of which somehow linked to the Olympics, well according to Gordon anyway:

Mr Brown also likened the achievements of the British forces to the UK's Olympic medallists in Beijing.

"This week we are celebrating the Olympics where we have had great success," he said.

"But this week also I believe that our Olympic athletes and everybody else in our country will remember that you have showed exactly the same courage, professionalism and dedication.

"You make our country proud every day of the week and every week of the year. You are truly the heroes of our country. I wish to say how proud I am of you today."

Perhaps though Gordon had the historic sporting competition on his mind when he made the comparison between soldiers and sportspeople - given that his brief stop off was en route to Beijing, where on Friday he met China's President Hu Jintao before visiting some young athletes. Again from the BBC we hear more of Gordon's global galavanting and of his plans for the next few days :

"The 2008 Beijing Olympics have set a new standard for the Olympic Games, which we in London in 2012 will seek to follow," he (GB) said.

"Mr Brown is in Beijing with his wife and their two young sons, John and Fraser, for the last few days of the Games and for the closing ceremony on Sunday, when the Olympic flag will be handed to London's mayor Boris Johnson.





















Alexander Boris de Pfeffel Johnson, or, Boris Johnson for short:

"is a British politician and the Mayor of London as of 4 May 2008; he is also a journalist and author and a former editor of The Spectator magazine. He previously served as Member of Parliament for Henley from 2001 to 2008, and also held the post of Shadow Minister for Higher Education until the announcement of his intention to stand in the 2008 London mayoral election."

Coincidentally maybe, only this week we heard of his apparently unknown-to-himself blue bloodedness and royal connections through the medium of a popular television family tree/ancestor tracing type programme:

On 20 August 2008 Johnson was the subject of the BBC family history programme Who Do You Think You Are?. He was revealed to be a direct, if illegitimate, descendent of George II of Great Britain through his eight times grandfather Friedrich I of Wurttemberg, his son Prince Paul of Württemberg and Paul's illegitimate daughter Adelheid von Rothenburg. Adelheid (known as Caroline) married Baron de Pfeffel, from whom Boris takes one of his middle names.^[55] He is therefore a descendant of Charlemagne and related to all European royal houses. His Turkish great grandfather Ali Kemal Bey was also a politician and journalist, and was assassinated following political conflict in Turkey








A portrait of Charlemagne that was painted several centuries after Charlemagne's death; the coat of arms above him show the German eagle and the French Fleur-de-lis.








From another BBC report from Thursday headlined Games chiefs "unfazed by Beijing":

Organisers of the 2012 London Olympics have not been intimidated by the dazzling Beijing Games, mayor Boris Johnson has said.

Mr Johnson was speaking ahead of the closing ceremony in Beijing, where London will formally receive the flame from China on Sunday.

"We are looking for ideas of how London's Olympic Park can become not just a great place to live, work and visit, but a place that retains a flavour of the extra-ordinary, a place with the 'wow' factor, a place of magic," he said.

The mayor, who will be taking the handover from Beijing on Sunday, said he has been in training for the ceremony, adding: "It will be a hugely proud moment for me."

On Friday, we heard further news regarding Sunday's ceremony with details of a joint venture between Royal Mail and China Post to issue a special set of four stamps to mark the handover of the Olympic Flag. From the BBC:

The stamps, featuring landmarks from the two cities, will be sold in both countries, but the Queen's head will only appear on the British version.

Royal Mail said they would both "celebrate a wonderful Games" and "whet our appetite for what is to come".

The Olympic Flag will be handed over at the closing ceremony on 24 August.

All four stamps carry the five Olympic rings, and the set as a whole depicts the old and new in both cities.

The 100,000-seater Bird's Nest Stadium, where the track and field events have been held, goes hand-in-hand with the London Eye.

Footballer David Beckham, singer Leona Lewis and Led Zeppelin guitarist Jimmy Page will be among the celebrities representing London at Sunday's closing ceremony.

And of Visit London's plans for Sunday:

Visit London, the capital's official visitor organisation, is set to launch its first global advertising campaign, 'See the World, Visit London' to coincide with the Olympic handover on Sunday. The £4m campaign, created by RKCR/Y&R, features a map of London imposed onto the image of Earth and carries the brand's new global identity created by Saffron. Other executions feature various objects in the shape of a globe, such as a microphone head which aims to promote London's music scene.
