Pluto Rocks

MOSCOW — A meteor streaked across the sky and exploded over Russia’s Ural Mountains with the power of an atomic bomb Friday, its sonic blasts shattering countless windows and injuring about 1,100 people.

I've become fascinated by video footage of the vapor trail and shockwave from the Valentine's Day Russian meteor.

"It's war of the worlds, we're under attack..."

Note the Saturnian scythe

As already noted, Russia is "the bear", and syncronauts have been monitoring bear syncs for weeks prior. I personally became interested in the Russian bear syncs when Bill in Exile posted an article on the 18th: The Bear, featuring the Russian Tupolev TU-95 strategic bomber {NATO reporting name: Bear}.

When I was in the Marines I had a buddy who was a Marine F-4 Phantom pilot who was based on Okinawa and who used to have to scramble to intercept these bad boys when the Soviets would test our air defense systems.

He said that the engines — because of the propeller design that allowed them to rotate faster than the speed of sound — made the aircraft the single loudest plane in the history of aviation.

So loud in fact that he said that even with his flight helmet on and the sound of his own plane’s J-79 jet engines just behind him, the sound of the TU-95′s engines was almost deafening when he tucked in next to a Bear like the Phantom in the picture below.

Note lightning motif on tail.

Var sent me this story about a contest to name Pluto's moons: Pluto Rocks!

The rock 'n roll, stone pun is as old as Mick Jagger, but it still works. It made me think of barelyhuman11's (BEARily human) fascinating examination of Back to the Future via Greek myth.



According to Lloyd on Mt. Olympus, Marty McFly is Pluto, who joins with his brothers Neptune (Enchantment Under the Sea Dance) and Jupiter (Doc Brown) to defeat Saturn or Chronus (time).

We first meet Marty entering Doc Brown's lab, running his skateboard into a case of Plutonium (the ID), and then creates a destructive sonic boom.

The central sphere and three concentric rings of the amp resemble the rings of the planet Saturn - a foreshadowing of Marty's role in the destruction of the clock tower, or time.

I'm afraid you're just to darn loud.

Pluto is Hades, Lord of the Underworld. Osiris also becomes a God of the dead after he is murdered, and so also Jesus, and more or less every King Kill character ever worshipped. He is Marty the Martyr, as Darren points out:

Is "Back to the Future" a Film About the Knight's Templars and Their Fight with Rome?

10:04 minus a few zeros is 14: Valentine's Day

Pluto and Neptune, rocking out.

Meteor or Delorean?

Perhaps, Pluto/Jesus' Delorean has just arrived... back from the future.

For as lightning that comes from the east is visible even in the west, so will be the coming of the Son of Man. ~Matthew 24:27

NOTES:

This is Gosporn's 666 post.

I have an orange Eddie Bauer down vest and every time I wear it, Var smacks his fists together and says "Dork, thinks he's gonna drown!"

The first time the orange life vest and bears entwined for me was back during a road trip to Port Townsend in 2010. See A Road Trip With VALIS.

2/15/13: Delorean Time Machine is BACK!

The original, screen used Delorean from "Back to the Future" has been restored! This vehicle, referred to as the "A" Car was featured in all three films and has been expertly restored by the team at The Time Machine Restoration Team.

Shooting the Messenger

The Lovers

I saw this sexy guy at the grocery store yesterday, I caught up with him in produce and shot him in the chest with my iPhone. He's wearing a tight I♥NY t-shirt, and considering the recent Valentine's Day syncs from outer space, I translated it as "Eros is aiming at New York".

Suddenly, I sorta love NY too.

Getting home I note another I♥NY - this time on some sexy boxer shorts. Sort of interesting to see two sexy I♥NY syncs so close together.

This morning, my blog feed delivered two Mercury syncs, back to back, via Littlediggs.com:

"The hut then transforms into a sun drenched haven, opening up to the views of the surf and the distant Mercury Islands". 

1963 Mercury Monterey on the grassy knoll.

Container dwelling in Texas, red X marks the spot.

Two messenger syncs, back to back. And then later in the morning, I see a car blog making a reference to "The Postman Always Rings Twice".

Their love was a flame that destroyed!

"when they met, it was murder!"

Peter the Roamin'

Happy Valentine's Day, everyone. It's Eros Day, the day we all celebrate the power of love and lust. I've said before that if ever gay men had a god, he would be Eros.

Eros (Greek: Ἔρως), in Greek mythology, was the primordial god of lust, love, and intercourse; he was also worshipped as a fertility deity. His Roman counterpart was Cupid.

In early Greek thought, he is a primeval deity who embodies not only the force of erotic love but also the creative urge of ever-flowing nature, the firstborn Light for the coming into being and ordering of all things in the cosmos.

The pale blue dot.

Speaking of Cosmos and 2/14:

On this day in 1990, the Voyager 1 spacecraft — which carried The Golden Record, Carl Sagan’s love letter to Annie Druyan — turned its revolutionary camera around and took the iconic “Pale Blue Dot” photograph that later inspired the famous Sagan monologue of the same title. The image, composed of 640,000 individual pixels, depicts Earth, a mere 12% of a single pixel, at the center of a scattered ray of light resulting from taking an image this close to the Sun. It endures... as a timeless Valentine to the cosmos.

I wonder if we're about to get a Valentine card back from Carl Sagan's lover?

BOSTON, Feb 14 (Reuters) - A newly discovered asteroid about half the size of a football field will pass nearer to Earth than any other known object of its size on Friday, giving scientists a rare opportunity for close-up observations without launching a probe.
At its closest approach, which will occur at 2:24 p.m. EST/1924 GMT, the asteroid will pass about 17,200 miles (27,520 km) above the planet traveling at 8 miles (13 km) per second, bringing it nearer than the networks of television and weather satellites that ring the planet.
Although Asteroid 2012 DA14 is the largest known object of its size to pass this close, scientists say there is no chance of an impact, this week or in the foreseeable future.

Numerologically, DA = 41, so DA14 can been read as 4114, or DAAD. Daddy? It's also a palindrome or mirrored word, something that may point to a "looking glass" event.

Brought inside the gate

We note that the asteroid is being allowed, even welcomed, within the orbits of earth's geosynchronous guardian satellites (including rumored space-based weapons). This reminds us of the "Trojan Horse" myth, which syncs with the recent Nemo winter's storm - Odysseus took the name of Nobody, (Latin: Nemo).

The Rock

St. Peter is the rock, or stone.

"On this rock (petra in Greek) I will build my church, and the gates of Hell will not prevail against it."

The Roman Catholic Church claims to be this rock, with the Pope being the living representative hierophant of Jesus. A bit odd to see the current "St. Peter" suddenly bow out and run for the hills, the very week another "rock" looms into orbit.

"like a complete unknown
Just like a rolling stone"

Hum the Close Encounters theme.

The asteroid is "half the size of a football field" - this reminds me of "half the lights" going out during the Superbowl. In any event, a football is missile shaped, again, reminding me of a secret weapon or Trojan horse.

What if "Jesus" is a microbe from space. A space seed. Asteroid DA14 (codename "Second Coming") is a robotic crop duster from Sirius, making its rounds. It lifts its leg and sprays on the nearest planet-shaped hydrant. The last time it swung through, it created self consciousness. What might develop - this time around?

Meteor explodes over Russia’s Ural Mountains; 1,100 injured as shock wave blows in windows

MOSCOW — A meteor streaked across the sky and exploded over Russia’s Ural Mountains with the power of an atomic bomb Friday, its sonic blasts shattering countless windows and injuring about 1,100 people.
The meteor hit less than a day before Asteroid 2012 DA14 is to make the closest recorded pass of an asteroid to the Earth — about 17,150 miles (28,000 kilometers). But the European Space Agency said its experts had determined there was no connection — just cosmic coincidence.

The old bait and switch. We've got all eyes on the asteroid and suddenly in comes a super sonic meteor.   I'm sure the Russian Orthodox Church is calling it a message from God, though I wonder which one?

Curiously, Russia made the Valentine's Day news with this queer headline:

Olympic Wrestling Canceled Because Of Gay Conspiracy, Russian Coach Claims

A Russian coach furious about the International Olympic Committee's recent decision to remove wrestling from the 2020 Olympics has made an inflammatory claim about who is to blame for the move.

Speaking to Russian sports site R-Sport, Russian wrestling coach Vladimir Uruimagov said that the IOC's decision was evidence of a gay conspiracy.

“If they expel wrestling now, that means that gays will soon run the whole world,” Uruimagov said, adding that cutting wrestling from the Olympic program was “a blow to masculine origins.”

Right...

According to tradition which was made by Eratosthenes, Eros was principally the patron of male love, while Aphrodite ruled the love between men and women. His statue could be found in the palaestrae or wrestling schools, one of the principal venues for men to associate with their beloveds, and it was to him that the Spartans sacrificed before battle.

2/17/13 Update:

The meteor hits keep on coming. The big hit was central Russia, or the "heartland" of Mother Russia, near the Ural mountains. Ural = rock (stone) and belt. Russia is the "bear", and also the state that made the red star infamous.

Meteor or fireball also witnessed in Cuba - also a "red star" state.

Fireball witnessed in San Francisco:

Curiously, both Cuba and Frisco have Castro in their memes. Castro: Castrar - to castrate.

The Mustachioed Bandit

FBI searching for ‘Mustachioed Bandit’ who robbed Kirkland Chase Bank

The “Mustachioed Bandit” - wearing dark clothing, a fake mustache and a Kangol cap walked into the Chase Bank located at the Red Apple Market in the Bridle Trails area, and passed a note to the teller at approximately 3:30 p.m. on Tuesday, Jan. 22.

-----------

I met a sweet miniature schnauzer a few days ago at a lovely little park near that Chase Bank in the Red Apple Market, the park is noted for its plentiful and tall evergreen trees.

A schnauzer (pron.: /ˈʃnaʊzər/) (German: [ˈʃnaʊtsɐ], plural schnauzen) is a dog breed that originated in Germany in the 15th and 16th centuries.[1] The term comes from the German word for "mustache",[2] because of the dog's distinctively bearded snout.

Here is The Lorax, a mustache who speaks for the trees:

“I am the Lorax. I speak for the trees. I speak for the trees for the trees have no tongues.”

It reminded me of Treebeard, from Lord of the Rings, who is a "guardian of the forest".

It's not too hard to imagine Chase Bank as the Onceler - busily chopping down nature for a one time profit. I know that I wince every time I hear a chain saw in the neighborhood, cutting down another tree to make way for another mini-mansion/mortgage payment.

An Early Sprig

Varen brought home asparagus from Mexico a few days ago, on sale at the local Red Apple. Asparagus is my personal phallic symbol of spring - the green man, Osiris, Jesus, Lennon, and all the rest - so I was intrigued that it would appear so early this year at the local market.

Today, Mr. Olympia Ronnie Coleman synced his way into a porn feed with a spear of asparagus. He holds the record of eight straight wins.

Also, today is my dad's birthday, he died last year, FYI. I was at his 80th birthday party a year ago tonight... in Phoenix.

Varen spent $8.88 at the Red Apple.

Smells like resurrection...

-------------

Oh wait... that isn't Ronnie Coleman with the spear... It's some OTHER black muscle god. Jesus Christ, all you Osiris' look alike!

The Year of Healing

With all the rumors of government conspiracy and god only knows what else, I thought it might be a good idea to focus on who really calls the shots in Washington DC and just about everywhere else:

The Almighty

The Man: He's not much, just looking at him, really just a paper tiger, but everything from birth to death to taxes is valued in dollars - the global fiat currency. He's the machinery behind every transaction from a street corner meth deal to the Wall St. loan shark bankers. And it all goes round and around thanks to a little scrap of paper encoded with the most magically powerful of symbols.

Much sync treasure has been mined from the symbols printed on the dollar, perhaps the most successful magical working - ever. A lot of magic is the art of imparting archetypal power to a physical object, and with the pyramid, all seeing eye, phoenix and all the rest, we can see quite a few of those archetypes inked onto the dollar bill.

The reason the dollar is green is that according to meta-accountants, every dollar bill loaned out is fertile seed, like a green bud of potential profit cast out to the winds. The "good seed" will return to the banker, with interest attached. How Pharaoh Osiris.

The $ sign is an S over a vertical bar: the serpent and staff of Asclepius, the divine physician. Also the brazen serpent of Moses.

Asclepius is the Greek god of health and healing. He is the son of Apollo, the Greek sun-god. His mother died when he was still in her womb and he cried out when her body was placed on the funeral pyre. Apollo cut the womb and pulled the unborn child out and declared that this son of his, Asclepius, would be responsible for the human fight against disease and death.

There is a more than a little irony between this ancient symbol of healing and the unfortunate truth that the dollar is the single most likely culprit behind global warming, deforestation, species extinction and war. Every detective always says, "follow the money".



One myth says Zeus killed Asclepius with a thunderbolt because he raised Hippolytus from the dead and accepted gold for it. What a curious thing, this power of healing connected to the power of money. These days, every physician and pharmaceutical company accepts gold, and plenty of it, for their healing powers. I wonder, is Asclepius still paying for his sin?

Anyway, it's got me to wondering. If Asclepius (hissing sounds, anyone?), the snake on a staff, is the god of healing (and more than that, the god of creative potential energy), and yet his symbol is associated magically with the Gaia destroying power of the American dollar, then something is seriously out of whack. It's almost as if Asclepius is held in some kind of bondage, that makes him work his powers of healing for the dollar bill, and the dollar bill, only.

I found inspiration in the American eagle - really a phoenix. I was driving by a strip mall last weekend and saw "Phoenix Games", with the flaming bird on the window. Can I release Asclepius from his bondage by another magical act - a ritual burning? Can I purify his symbol, by renouncing my claim check?

Releasing Asclepius from bondage

Today, I discovered 2013 is the Chinese year of the snake. I know it sounds presumptuous, but I declare 2013 the year of Asclepius, the year of healing.
