Family Guy does Lockerbie - Foxtrotting

Today's BBC is reporting that the French see the Charlie Hebdo "attack" as their "nine eleven". Numbers can be revealing and apparently, rather than utilising the actual date of the incident, 1/11 has been chosen, given the show of solidarity at the Unity March.


From 9/11 to 1/11

On Friday past, relatives of the Lockerbie Pan Am 103 victims approached the High Court to ascertain whether they can submit an appeal against the conviction of Abdelbaset Ali al-Megrahi. Lockerbie happened on 21/12. Lady Dorrian, presiding, has ordered that a hearing takes place on 27th March, 27 being 3 cubed. BBC

27/3 will be the seventh anniversary of an "unprecedented" police raid in Finsbury Park, London, where 1122 police carried out a military style raid on various premises believed to be utilised for criminality. The same day, then Prime Minister, Gordon Brown, met his French counterpart, Sarkozy, very close by to discuss joint military strategy and education for the Africans :

At their press conference, Mr Brown said Britain and France shared the same vision for the future of Europe.

"Our two countries are at the heart of what we want to be an outward looking and globally focused Europe. 

"We both favour a strong relationship with our American partners. We agree that only by working together can we confront the challenges we face from terrorism, from climate change, poverty, disease and failed states." BBC....

The 600 officers were part of a 1,122-strong unit that swooped on notorious crime gangs plaguing a North London borough.

Senior officers rejected accusations that it was overkill or “gesture” policing, insisting the army-size operation was fully justified. Daily Express

It is alleged that Lockerbie is named after the Norse "trickster" "God", Loki. That could well be key.

Megrahi's 1970's Welsh student identity card gave his birthdate as 1st April - Fools Day.

When Lockerbie transpired on the winter solstice, there was an unusual planetary gathering in the heavens. A multitude of planets had converged in the sign of Capricon - The Goat :

“Pan was a composite creature, the upper part–with the exception of his horns–being human, and the lower part in the form of a goat. (…)The pipes of Pan signify the natural harmony of the spheres, and the god himself is a symbol of Saturn because this planet is enthroned in Capricorn, whose emblem is a goat” -Manly P. Hall, Secret Teachings of All Ages

Some people believe that magick runs hand in hand with astrological movements. Occultists, for example Crowley, would utilise planetary alignments within their work.

wiki - Fraternitas Saturni :

The Fraternitas Saturni was founded in the wake of the so-called "Weida Conference" in 1925. It succeeded the "Collegium Pansophicum, Orient Berlin" (Pansophia Lodge), a Rosicrucian magical order founded by Heinrich Traenker, a notable German occultist of the time. The Weida Conference was meant to consolidate Aleister Crowley's claims to be the Outer Head of Ordo Templi Orientis and the expected World Teacher. 

Some people consider that the tick in the Nike symbol alludes to Saturn.

When Megrahi left prison on compassionate grounds, in Scotland he was attired in black and white, with a Nike cap. He changed before arrival in Tripoli.

Foxtrotting

Some suggest that the works of Leonardo Da Vinci contain secret occult knowledge. Above is his Madonna of the Yarnwinder, which was stolen from the Duke of Buccleuch's Drumlanrig Castle in Dumfries and Galloway. It's return later became the subject of a large court case involving three lawyers, a private detective, and a Liverpool publican nicknamed the silver fox. 

Some might say that the infant - Christ - in the painting, given his upward pointing index finger, is alluding to Hermeticism and indeed astrology, the dictum : "as above so below".

Back in March 2010, the US cartoon, Family Guy parodied the Lockerbie bombing. They showed an image of children lying in a crucified position in a circular formation. In the centre was a new-age type woman, potentially quasi Druidic, who recited "it's raining luggage and babies and limbs and Daddy doesn't come home".  (Scottish Sun) Family Guy was in the headlines just last week re the Boston marathon massacre.

On 27th March 2010, the Scottish Defence League (a sort of "right wing"/anti immigrant group) planned to hold a demonstration at Lockerbie, in respect of the victims and to show their displeasure at Megrahi's early release. It never happened, although some members of the organisation did visit and lay a wreath. That was 6677 days after the bombing.

This week it has been widely reported that the remains of flight Pan Am 103 - Clipper Maid of the Seas - have been returned to the Lockerbie area, causing some upset. Apparently the Crown advised the victim's families of the impending transition last week, although they are keeping the exact date of transportation secret. If one were to hazard an "educated" guess at Monday past, 22/4/13, then that would be 8888 days since the atrocity, notwithstanding the potential 4's in the date make up.

One of the three lawyers - who were all acquitted of blackmailing the Duke -  was in court this week. Marshall Ronald is pursuing a claim for compensation in regard to "safely returning the painting to it's rightful owner". (BBC News)

When the silver fox - Robert Graham - recovered the artwork, from a character called Karl who he met in a pub car park, he telephoned Marshall Ronald to say "The Lady is on her way home". He then drove to Scotland but was forced to take refuge in the Lockerbie Manor hotel, allegedly due to poor weather. There, images were taken of him with the painting. (BBC News)

Lockerbie Manor hotel is no Travel Lodge. In fact it is Lockerbie House, a place of some history, indeed squarely where the Queensberry rules of boxing were drawn up. wiki - Lockerbie House (scroll down)

If we follow the suggestion of Da Vinci's hermetic infant Christ and look upwards at the time of the bombing - 7.03pm, a fairly significant picture is visible. I realise it may be undecipherable, however what is interesting is that it is the winter solstice, that five planets, including the Sun, Saturn, and Mercury are converging in the sign of Capricorn, whilst Mars, planet of War, sits at mid-heaven - directly above in the sky:

"Pan was a composite creature, the upper part–with the exception of his horns–being human, and the lower part in the form of a goat. (…)The pipes of Pan signify the natural harmony of the spheres, and the god himself is a symbol of Saturn because this planet is enthroned in Capricorn, whose emblem is a goat” -Manly P. Hall, Secret Teachings of All Ages

Some would suggest too, that the yarn from the Yarnwinder alludes to a deeper tapestry.

cheers

Note - Mercury is known as quicksilver (thinking silver fox), and in mythology can be linked to Hermes, as in Hermetic.

Foxes are portrayed as being crafty, or tricky.

Lockerbie - Loki's village - named  after the Norse trickster Loki

Megrahi's date of birth - April Fool's Day

Horses for Courses

I touched on the Scottish based Disney Pixar film, Brave, some ten days ago in my post, Bear King Mad, noting the physical resemblance between the heroine, Merida, and former News International boss, Rebekah Brooks. In the film, Merida "defies an age old custom" thus "unleashing chaos", whilst Rebekah herself has to a certain extent it appears defied an age old custom - privacy - and to all extents and purposes unleashed chaos, certainly in terms of future censorship of the media. That's notwithstanding the Rupert Murdoch/Scottish Independence malarkey.

Yesterday showed up another correlation, admittedly potentially coincidental, as we read of how the Disney film is to hold it's European premier on 30th June, in Edinburgh at the Film Festival, some eight days after the sun-drenched solstice timed US release. Meanwhile also yesterday, Rebekah Brooks was arrested re the phone hacking after a dawn raid by police.


The Stone of Destiny too made it into the news just the day before, the Daily Record noting how the Covenaters Inn in Aberfoyle is to be refurbished; the connection being that the stone was allegedly hidden there in between being repatriated from Westminster on Christmas Day 1950 and being left on the steps of Arbroath Abbey on 11th April 1951, the 101st day of the year and another - if Christmas was not enough - most symbolic day in terms of Prince William, given he received his "wings" from his father on this day in 2008.

Curiously yesterday, the 13th of March, is the anniversary of the Dunblane massacre, something which also ties in with the 11th April via a letter send just after the atrocity to Lord Cullen alleging freemasonic persuasion in regards to the perpetrator, Thomas Hamilton. Notwithstanding that, the school gymnasium - scene of the carnage - was demolished on 11th April the following year. (Diverting a discourse - a ruse)
