Jesus, Holyrood and the Stone of Destiny

Allow me to return to the events in Edinburgh's Court of Session, Tuesday past.

The "independence seeking" Sovereign Indigenous Peoples of Scotland  set up a shanty-camp outside the Scottish Parliament building at Royal Holyrood; the authorities are not happy and have commenced legal action to evict them.

A Mr. McFarlane spoke for them initially. He told Lord Turnbull that he personally had spoken to Jesus, who is here for his second coming, and Jesus want's the camp to stay. Jesus has also requested that the Stone of Destiny be transported to the shanty-camp in order that he can be crowned upon it.

Mr. McFarlane has tried to secure legal representation, allegedly contacting 144 lawyers, all of whom were too busy. Mr. McFarlane advised Lord Turnbull that Jesus had suggested that this was deliberate as they would "not wish to bite the hand that feeds them". Furthermore, Jesus loves all of us including Lord Turnbull.

Lord Turnbull rebuked Mr. McFarlane for not sticking to legal matters and for making "philosophical and spiritual arguments that could not be properly examined by the court".

I'm interested in Mr. McFarlane's thesis, unfortunately though I don't see it being Jesus being next to be crowned on the Stone. Rather, his opposite prior to global kingship. Perhaps Mr. McFarlane is occultly alluding to that, perhaps he assumes Lord Turnbull knows the blueprint intimately and is poking the hornet's nest?

It's worth noting that Lord Turnbull was one of the prosecuting council in both the Lockerbie trial and the murder Jodi Jones, on 3/6/3 - an act allegedly inspired by Marilyn Manson, an individual who has certainly got his finger on the pulse.

I wrote last week regarding the, surely out of character, post eleven eleven arson attack on the Prestonfield House Hotel by Lord Watson of Invergowrie.

Today's Daily Record carries a story of a very similar manner; senior anti-terror policeman, Hugh Bleakley is accused of three assaults, including one on a police officer, together with using threatening and abusive behaviour and of resisting the police, whilst at a function at Bonnybridge Social Club earlier this year. Like Lord Watson, one wonders what possessed him if the allegations prove true.

The date of the alleged incident was the night of 21st-22nd February, whilst the trial date has been scheduled for 21/10/2015.

The Romans were drawn to Bonnybridge.

Aliens too, allegedly like Bonnybridge. It is known as the hotspot of the Falkirk triangle.

Having said that, UFO does not necessarily equal alien, just unidentified. Perhaps something else is drawn to the area, for whatever reason.

When the alleged Stone of Destiny (Jacob's Pillow Stone) was repatriated from Westminster on Christmas Day 1950, it was hidden at various locations before being left at Arbroath Abbey on 11th April 1950. This equates to a 108 day period. 108 is an important number to many faiths, including Jewish.

One of the locations was Bonnybridge, where it allegedly resided for 13 weeks.

It was the 22nd of February 2010 when we saw a dark haired Prince William appear on the front page of issue 1111 of Hello Magazine (see sidebar). The digits 1111, or eleven eleven, carry some kudos in occult and New Age philosophy. The image was taken by the charity Crisis' Jeff Hubbard. The image up top is the lead image on his facebook page. Pig is a name sometimes applied to the police.

Pig masks have been hot this week after the initiation allegations made against David Cameron, the images below are from the attack on the Cereal Killer cafe in London by Class War.

Today's 9/9 and the Queen, if she makes it till tea-time, will be the UK's longest reigning monarch.

She's residing up here in Scotland at the moment, whilst this morning she is to officially open the refurbished railway line between the Borders and Edinburgh. She is due to travel on the Union of South Africa steam train, number 60009, which was withdrawn from British railways service on 01/6/66.

At the same time in Scotland, the Aviva bicycle tour of Britain is due to leave Holyrood for Blyth, again travelling down the borders. Holyrood is the site of the Queen's Park and Royal Palace and sits in the shadow of extinct volcano, Arthur's Seat and allegedly became intimate with royalty way back when King David had a close encounter with a stag and "God". The plug of the volcano forms the rocky base for Stone of Destiny holding Edinburgh Castle and it's franchised ice cream van, registration WMS 666 T

Here @ newspaceman, we are interested in these modern day "processions"  and their potential "energy", for example there was the Olympic Torch relay day 34, where we symbolically doubled back into Scotland the previous night to commence the 121 (11x11) mile long route at freemasonic icon and poet, Robert Burns' statue. Coincidentally, it was the Summer solstice and Prince William's 30th birthday. (Fruit for Thought)

It appears from the BBC live report page that H.M. is running slightly late, her helicopter is buzzing over Holyrood at 11.01, no doubt for some sort of synchronised 11.11 entrance. In fact, as I write, the page has updated to confirm she arrived at Edinburgh's Waverley Station at exactly 11.11. Remarkable.

Note, it's exactly 88 days since Kate McCann led another cycle trip from Holyrood - Changelings

Blood, sweat and tears...

Many many moons ago I worked in the grounds of a large and imposing Jacobean mansion house in a part time general gardening capacity. There was an energy about the place and the wealthy owners, who moved in high circles, were extremely decent people. I liked it there. One morning the gentleman of the house approached and directed me to a marker on the ground close to the house. My instructions were to dig a foot diameter hole, some three deep, and most importantly, "not to deviate a fraction from the position of the marker".


It was a fairly arduous task, compounded by the fact that beneath the ground there were more rocks than would be normal; tight fitting rocks. However, I completed the job and later that morning a chap arrived with a standing stone which a group of us lifted, placed into the ground, then backfilled and compacted - job done. It was only later that I established that the owners had in fact dowsed the area before selecting the site - apparently ley lines, with their alleged potential "energy", converged upon that particular spot and the "standing stone" would somehow harness and contain the presumably benevolent energies to the owner's benefit.

It transpired that all the garden layout had been dowsed both historically and presently (perhaps the tight fitting rocks were some sort of previous foundation).

Last month I wrote about Andy Murray's forthcoming wedding at Dunblane, noting the potential occult significance of the date 11th April, tying it in with the Dunblane massacre, the Stone of Destiny, freemasonry, Aleister Crowley and 101. From Bride of Frankenstein :

During the legal enquiry into the massacre, Knight of the Thistle, Lord Cullen, allegedly received an anonymous letter. It was dated 11th April 1996 and stated :
"It is in the public interest that Lord Cullen be asked if he is a Freemason....

 From the Independent dated 12th April 1996: "The Dunblane primary school gym where Thomas Hamilton massacred 16 children and their teacher was demolished yesterday. No more than a pile of rubble remains on the spot"

This week we are told that the venue has changed; rather than the service being held in Andy's Cromlix Hotel, it has been moved to Dunblane's Cathedral. Apparently huge crowds of wellwishers are expected to converge on the town to view the events. One imagines there will be doses of positive energies floating about waiting to be harnessed.

There's a couple of standing stones within the Cathedral, one an old Pictish example which was found close by, the other a tribute to the children lost in the massacre.

Some people who follow the "ley line energy" theories, believe that statues and suchlike are not randomly placed, but rather they too have a strategic purpose. In my 2009 post - A sandwich full of nonsense, I noted how on the Autumn equinox, Donald Trump masks had been affixed to various Scottish iconic statues at the same time as Libyan leader Gadaffi had spoken at the United Nations. It was just after the release of alleged Lockerbie bomber, Megrahi, whilst Gadaffi had rented land in New York for the event, from Donald Trump.

I also have written about Harry Potter and it's relationship to Greyfriars churchyard in Edinburgh, a place already thronging with tourists in the summer given the  "Bobby dog" legend. Bobby's statue was one chosen for a Trump mask.

Last year on 22nd December we saw many  "dark energies" in the aftermath of the Glasgow refuse truck incident. I wrote about the 1221 number "coincidence" in relation to Brad Pitt's World War Z movie in my post Mirrors. This week it was announced that the legal enquiry into the tragedy will commence on 22nd July. (BBC News)

22nd July is 212 days after 22nd December. 22nd July is also the anniversary of "Breivik's" massacre, Prince George's birthday, and the alleged birthday of alleged Boston bomber Tsarnaev. It's also Pi day, because the fractional representation of square loving Pythagoras' theory is 22/7.

11th April is 111 days after 22nd December if I include the end date in the calculation. It's also the 64th anniversary of the leaving of the Stone of Destiny at Arbroath Abbey after repatriation on Christmas Day by four law students. We learned of Andy's wedding on 6th February (see Frankenstein link above), some 64 days prior to 11th April.

Independent, or not ?

Dewars whisky - pronounced Jew-ares

Scottish independence is something I feel has more to do with a subtle, occult ritual in terms of the raising of an eventual one-world king, rather than something that will make much difference to the average Scottish person - given we are constantly bombarded with the news that our society is now global, certainly on a financial basis, and increasingly through the vehicle of worship of alleged mind controlled celebrities; and technology.

Infamous "satanist", Aleister Crowley, considered Scotland's Boleskin House to be "the focal point of the magical energies (also called the "93 Current") of the Aeon of Horus. In this way it is similar to Jerusalem in Judaism and Mecca in Islam"

From my April post, Pennies from Heaven :

Article in today's Daily Record stating that the Kirk (the Christian Church) wish to crown Prince Charles as King of Scots in a separate coronation should Scotland become independent :

The Church of Scotland proposals would see the heir to the throne become the first monarch to be crowned north of the Border since his namesake Charles II in 1651. First Minister Alex Salmond has pledged Scotland will keep the Queen if there is a Yes vote next year.

From today's BBC, Scottish Independence : Kirk approves separate coronations :

The Church of Scotland's ruling General Assembly has approved a call to crown monarchs in both England and Scotland, should Scotland becomes independent.

Its annual gathering said a separate ceremony would symbolise a monarch's role as King or Queen of Scots.

Reverend Sally Foster-Fulton said it would give "an opportunity for people of all faiths and no faith to create together this civic occasion".

Cast of Balamory - Scottish childrens TV programme

The civic occasion for all, that Reverend Foster-Fulton refers to, will be carried out on the Stone of Destiny. It's, if it is the real deal, currently stashed at Edinburgh Castle, having been returned to Scotland on the 101st day of 1951 - 11th April, after repatriation from England the previous year's Christmas Day. It went back to England, but was returned here on St. Andrew's Day 1996. That's the same Saint Andrew who's bones were prayed over by the Pope and now disgraced, exiled homosexual, Cardinal O' Brien, just after the Pontiff's historic and unprecedented meeting with HM the Queen, head of the Church of England, at Royal Holyrood Place in the shadow of extinct volcano, Arthur's Seat. Some say that Edinburgh city centre's extinct volcano, Arthur's Seat, resembles the Egyptian sphinx. Edinburgh Castle is built on the volcanic plug.

Jimmy Savile, immaculate in many colours, meets Cardinal O' Brien

Some say too that the Stone of Destiny is Jacob's  pillow stone. Jacob laid his head on the stone and dreamt of meeting God, who told him "Also your descendants shall be as the dust of the earth; you shall spread abroad to the west and the east, to the north and the south; and in you and in your seed all the families of the earth shall be blessed".

Also from wiki :

Some Scottish legends surrounding the Stone of Scone, traditionally used for coronations of Scottish kings in the High Middle Ages, have identified this stone with the Stone of Jacob. Supposedly the Stone of Jacob was brought to Ireland by the prophet Jeremiah and from thence to Scotland.

These legends also feature prominently in British Israelism, a set of beliefs that consider the British monarchy as the legitimate heir to the ancient Israelites. From 1308 to 1996, the Stone of Scone - identified with the Stone of Jacob - rested in the Royal throne of England at Westminster

British Israelism is something that deeply interests me, the notion that the British monarchy are God's "chosen ones", the heirs to the ancient Israelites. British Israel proponents often point to King James 6th and Ist, Bible reviser and promoter, claim that "The Lord has made me King over Israel" and his Jacobus gold coin which states the Biblical prophecy "I will make of them one nation". He certainly believed in the divine right of kings. 

Something that the Kirk were due to discuss, but have not, were the claims made in a ten page report called, The inheritance of Abraham ? A report on the Promised Land , which I covered in my post Crypto Jew-ology .The report has apparently been amended although originally contained the notion that :

Possession of any land is clearly conditional. The question that arises is this: Would the Jewish people today have a fairer claim to the land if they dealt justly with the Palestinians?"

Biblical promises about the land of Israel were never intended to be taken literally, or as applying to a defined geographical territory

Rather :

They are a way of speaking about how to live under God so that justice and peace reign, the weak and poor are protected, the stranger is included, and all have a share in the community and a contribution to make to it.

The 'promised land' in the Bible is not a place, so much as a metaphor of how things ought to be among the people of God. This 'promised land' can be found - or built - anywhere.
 

More Balamory

This week the Kirk approved gay ministers at their annual assembly.

In 2008, then British Prime Minister, Gordon Brown, son of a minister, spoke at the christian gathering, utilising the platform to outline his vision for a "global society governed by a shared moral sense" (BBC News):

And we find that from the timeless wisdom of all the great religions - from which billions across the world derive daily inspiration - there is a consistent ethical core that propels us to act: encapsulated in the golden rule that informs not just Christianity and Judaism but also Hinduism, Buddhism, Sikhism and Islam - showing that we are not moral strangers but there is a shared moral sense common to us all

Reverend Sally Foster-Fulton was maybe thinking of that "coming together" under a "golden rule" in her aforementioned quote: "opportunity for people of all faiths and no faith to create together this civic occasion", in regard to a future coronation ?

Remember that King James was crowned in Scotland, before England, and that, according to practioners of magick like Crowley, ritual is at the very heart of their undertakings.

Shoot those poisoned arrows through the heart

The  above image is from today's Edinburgh Evening News. It shows the Scottish capital's city centre off rather well, the Castle in the foreground with extinct volcano Arthur's Seat to the back.


According to the linked article, the Royal Air Force Red Arrows are due to flyover tomorrow in respect of Prince William's Olympics: "nine aircraft will perform the Big Battle formation over Holyrood Park, flying up the Royal Mile, over  Edinburgh Castle then over the crowds".


The event will take place at "precisely" 12.33 British Summer Time, which equates to 11.33 Greenwich Mean Time.
 
cheers

see too - A New Eden

Note - Arthur's Seat is  located in Holyrood Park, home of the Royal Palace and the Scottish Parliament.

Note - I  am still banking on Prince William lighting the cauldron at the opening ceremony.

Note too from the linked report that bells are due to be rung for  the first time in sixty years from The Hub in the Royal Mile. The Hub crossed the radar here back in 2008 when an alleged crystal skull of Atlantis was displayed for one day only, on 23rd November. Given that it was a leap year (extra day added), I correlated this sun-wise into 22/11, JFK assassination etc. etc. The post is here, although it is not that great, sorry.

Lord of the Rings

A trilogy of Scottish based Olympic / monarchical stories hit the headlines over the  last few days.


The first from yesterday regarded cyclist, Christopher Hoy, who has been voted to carry the Union flag for Team GB, something he also did at the closing/handover ceremony in Beijing. As I noted back then his name seems apt, what with the Christopher; whilst his pedal-powered sport resonates the new approaching astrological cycle of Aquarius. A different spoke in the wheel, so to speak. The BBC report also has time to mention the inclusion of archer, Alison Williamson, although none of the other contenders get a mention.

On Saturday past we learned again from the BBC that Scottish First Minister, Alex Salmond, is to lead a trade delegation to London for the games, "showcasing  industries and promoting investment". A "Scotland House" will be set up in the heart of London with more than forty events, advertising Scottish  culture, food and drink to the unwary Olympic visitors. 

Then today, it was revealed that a "military take" on Disney's Brave soundtrack is to be included at the Royal Edinburgh Military Tattoo, based at Edinburgh Castle. Along with this, the  evening is due to conclude with "an orchestral re-enactment of the Queen's Coronation of 1953", featuring "the preparations, crowds lining the street, bands parading, the Abbey waiting for a princess, the solemn processional, the anointing of a Queen, and the oaths of allegiance". (BBC)


It's worth pointing out again that the Stone of Destiny, if it is that, is located at Edinburgh Castle, and that it is highly likely that any future monarch will be crowned upon it. The Stone was repatriated on Christmas Day 1950 and left outside Arbroath Abbey on 11th April 1951 before being returned to Westminster. However, on St. Andrew's Day 1996, it was officially handed back to the Scots by Prince Andrew at Edinburgh Castle. Bear in mind here that 11th April 2008 was the date that Prince William received his military "wings" from his father, I wrote about  it here, whilst noting in the process that Richard Dannatt, then head of the British Army, was undertaking the first official celebration of summer events marking the centenary of the Territorial Army on the same day at Edinburgh Castle. Don't forget too, that on  11th April 1689, William of Orange and Mary 2nd were crowned joint Sovereigns of the United Kingdom.


Oh, and don't forget the solitary franchised Edinburgh Castle ice cream van, it's registration WMS 666 T  - a big clue to the potential future.

cheers

Note - When "Protestant" William and Mary "took" the crown, many powers were (allegedly) transferred to parliament rather than the monarchy. Watch the situation reverse.

My take on the Beijing Olympic handover, David Beckham, Gordon Brown, Wizard of Oz - Things are not always as they seem .

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.

cheers


BBC - Kew Gardens/motto.

BBC- Edinburgh Castle.

Square roots

The Glasgow Rangers performance continues, their directors now in conflict, Dave King claiming liquidation is imminent, others claiming the opposite. No matter what, it appears that this Friday, 9/3, is D Day certainly as far as the playing staff go. 9/3 tickles my imagination (see previous post) given that 9 is 3 squared.

Meantime, over in Edinburgh, it appears that the giant Ferris wheel which I wrote about (Sex in the City), is now to be positioned at the opposite end of Princes Street Gardens to the Walter Scott Monument. Approximately half way between the two, on the man-made Mound, will see the giant Olympic Ring logo positioned. As noted in the link, surely some sort of symbolic fertility ritual given the proximity of Edinburgh Castle and the Stone of Destiny.

Close to the Walter Scott Monument at the very East end of Princes Street sits the Balmoral Hotel and it's infamous clock - traditionally set 2 minutes ahead of time to assist would-be train travellers to reach Waverley Station timeously. Today the clock broke down due to an electrical fault - blamed on a "third party" - and stuck at 9.05 am. Do the arithmetic whilst remembering that the hotel is where Rowling completed the (occult) Harry Potter series, signing a bust to Hermes in the process. And don't forget the associations with Shoebox Zoo, a BBC/Canadian TV programme featuring a quest to find the occultist/wizard/alchemist, Michael Scot's, Book of Forbidden Knowledge; notwithstanding the Royal Family's Balmoral retreat.

Lastly, something I have not dwelt upon since last April (Suspect Device) is the letter bomb campaign against prominent Celtic supporters: MP Trish Godman, infamous solicitor, Paul McBride, and the club's manager, Neil Lennon. McBride's bomb was allegedly discovered in Kilwinning (location of freemason's Mother Lodge 0), indeed two men - McKenzie and Muirhead - are standing trial for it at the moment. Paul McBride was found dead in a hotel room in Pakistan on 4th March, apparently passing away during the night.

I look forward to Friday, it could well be Black.

cheers

King Conn

Following on from recent postings.

We read yesterday of Sean Connery and his apparent support for Donald Trump's proposed golf resort and housing development in the North East of Scotland. From the local Evening Express we hear more of his comments, stated in the presence of Scottish Prime Minister Alex Salmond, whilst the pair partook in a round together at Peterculter Golf Club on the outskirts of Aberdeen.

MOVIE legend Sir Sean Connery today backed Donald Trump’s Balmedie golf plan – and said it must go ahead.

And he told how he would be the first to tee off at the Menie Estate.

Sir Sean said Mr Trump’s £1 billion resort should be backed by the Government so it can complement Paul Lawrie’s course at Blairs and Jack Nicklaus’s near Stonehaven.

The James Bond star announced his support while on a special mission in Aberdeen to promote Scotland.

The 77-year-old was at Peterculter Golf Club on the outskirts of the city to promote Homecoming Scotland 2009.

At first I thought that perhaps Homecoming 2009 was only related to the forthcoming Star Trek X1, a film which may in fact have it's European premier in historic Linlithgow, birthplace of both Montgomery "Scotty" Scott and Alex Salmond (see Background to the future), however it appears that additionally:

Homecoming 2009 has been organised to coincide with the 250th anniversary of the birth of poet Robert Burns.

It aims to attract ex-patriots and visitors from around the world for a mass celebration of Scottish culture.

Sir Sean said: “I’ve been a lifelong supporter of golf and Burns, so to combine the two next year seems very appropriate.

First Minister Alex Salmond, who was also at Peterculter Golf Club, said: “It is fantastic that Sir Sean has decided to do the film.

“Steven Spielberg couldn’t lure him out of retirement, but Homecoming obviously has.

And so it seems did the potentially-Biblical Stone of Destiny, as again on Monday night we saw Messrs Connery and Salmond back in action together - on the anniversary of the important Battle of Bannockburn - this time at Edinburgh Castle, cutting a stone shaped cake to celebrate the release of a film based on the daring removal and return to Scotland of this historically significant Coronation Stone. As we read from the Scone Stone's wikipedia entry:

Traditionally, it is supposed to be the pillow stone said to have been used by the Biblical Jacob. According to one legend, it was the Coronation Stone of the early Dál Riata Gaels when they lived in Ireland, which they brought with them when settling Caledonia. Another legend holds that the stone was actually the travelling altar used by St Columba in his missionary activities throughout what is now Scotland. Certainly, since the time of Kenneth Mac Alpin, the first King of Scots, at around 847, Scottish monarchs were seated upon the stone during their coronation ceremony.













It should perhaps be noted that there were two large events in and around Edinburgh last weekend; the annual Royal Highland Show at Ingliston (just up river from the once Roman stronghold port of Cramond) and the Great Scottish Walk, the latter a 6000 strong human throng led out by none other than Glasgow Airport - anti-terrorist hero - John Smeaton - the same cigarette loving individual discussed in my post Regal King Size et cetera. The march followed a route including the Royal Palace of Holyrood and Edinburgh Castle which is in fact the headquarters of the 52nd Infantry Brigade, the same brigade that Prince Harry marched with in Edinburgh just last week, just a couple of days before his older brothers birthday on the sun drenched 21st June - a brother who's potentially imminent Coronation will no doubt involve the aforementioned stone.

I would further refer readers to my post Ex-luna, scienta when we saw Prince William receive his Royal Air Force wings from his father Charles at RAF Cranwell. The date of this ceremony was 11th April and I wrote about the "coincidence" that King Billy, or William of Orange, was crowned together with Mary 2nd of Scotland as joint Sovereigns of the United Kingdom on the same date, some 319 years before. Surely somehow connected to the fact that when the stone was "returned to Scotland" after the audacious Christmas Day 1950 theft, it was next seen on 11th April 1951, having been left in the alter of Arbroath Abbey on that date by the perpetrators for safe keeping by the Church of Scotland.
