The Trident Thief

I’m sure we all remember the notorious Sealab 2021 Episode 39, where the crew joins the underwater secret society of the "Neptunati", who are locked in an eternal struggle with their sworn enemies, the “Five Jew Bankers”. Derek "Stormy" Waters carries the trident of Neptune, bangs it on the ground and gives himself size triple D breasts.

No? Well, remember that plot, and those crazy blue buffalo hats. I visited the Naval Undersea Museum last week, near Silverdale on Hwy 308. Yes, the Navy actually has a museum full of submarines and torpedoes, even an exhibit about the real-life Sealab! Neptune is our guide, and his trident motif is everywhere. No doubt this is partly because nearby Bangor sub base is full of Ohio class submarines, carrying Trident ballistic missiles. I suppose a cartoon Neptune makes nuclear inter-continental ballistic missiles a little less terrifying.

The docent pointed out the DSRV (Deep Submergence Rescue Vehicle) sub sitting out in the parking lot, named DSRV-1 Mystic, which was the same submarine depicted in The Hunt For Red October, by Tom Clancy. I thought it was amusing that he kept saying “DRSV” instead of DSRV and he would catch himself and apologize. This syncs very strongly with that aspect of the subconscious being a mirror image of consciousness.

The museum has a new exhibit about the loss of the USS Thresher:

The USS Thresher (SSN-593) was the lead boat of her class of nuclear-powered attack submarines in the United States Navy. Her loss at sea in the North Atlantic during deep-diving tests approximately 220 miles east of Boston, Massachusetts, on 10 April 1963 was a watershed event for the U.S. Navy.
On 9 April 1963 Thresher, now commanded by Lieutenant Commander John Wesley Harvey, got underway from Portsmouth at 8 am and rendezvoused with the submarine rescue ship Skylark at 11 am…

OK, I’m researching the subconscious, submarines and tridents and there is my SKYLARK Illuminati call sign right there in the middle. Neptunati indeed.

Anyway, I had to watch The Hunt For Red October, given that the Docent mentioned it. Starring Sean Connery as the defecting Soviet Typhoon class submarine captain, and Alec Baldwin as CIA analyst Jack Ryan. It’s a pretty good film as far as cold war propaganda films go, and director John McTiernan even manages to make underwater submarine warfare exciting. But for some reason all I could think about was playing this plot in reverse, with some modern American Trident sub captain driving his underwater earthshaker over to Russia as a gift to Putin, or better yet, to Tehran! Imagine the mischief.

Even though I’ve personally been following trident symbolism for years, Last year was a bonus crop. It began when trident resonating Maserati paid for a Superbowl ad with the slogan “Now we strike!”, and shortly thereafter, trident emblemed Ukraine found itself at the center of a conflict that could have escalated into WWIII. It still could. It is curious that what is now called Ukraine is the former homeland of Ashkenazi Jews.

This morning I got an invitation to join Club MegaPecs. I am assuming that Derek Waters is the Grand Master of THIS secret society.

But the real kicker is that yesterday, Var brought home some Blue Buffalo Co. dog food. This would seem to be the real power of the trident: impossible syncs.

Mary Time Training

I’ve been immersed in the sea this week, thanks to Doug asking me to chat about the chapter on Atlantis in The Secret Teachings of All Ages by Manley P. Hall on 42 Minutes. At Gosporn, any “city beneath the sea” lies in the realm of the subconscious. Also known as Dreamland, Oz, Pellucidar, the Id and a million other names, it’s the place from which our imagination springs, and eventually, our reality.

Mare is latin for sea, and still used as the root in words like Mariner, Marina, Marinara Sauce. The “sea” of the subconscious is personified in the name Mary - the Mother of God.

So it was with particular interest that I noticed a handsome vessel named Maritime Training steam up while I was hanging out on the waterfront this week. And then… same day, I get an email from somebody named “Trainer” who had taken some pics of a boat named Proud Mary.

Mary Time Training?

The personal joke is that I used to work for a boat building company that called itself US Marine Corp. When traveling, the car rental places would always offer us the military discount.

All the World's a Blue Print

Sky Captain and the World of Tomorrow is one of my guilty pleasures.



I’ve watched it at least a dozen times and it’s mostly because of the dreamy 1930’s Art Deco design of the thing. I was watching the director’s commentary recenty, which was about how the movie was filmed almost entirely on a “blue screen” sound stage in England, and all the scenery, sets and giant robots were made in a computer. Jude Law and Gwyneth Paltrow are walking through Shangri-La and Kerry Konran would keep saying “nothing is really here.” “Nothing in this scene is real”. “None of this is actually here”. It was a Buddhist chant.

And then we came to this scene in Radio City Music Hall where Gwyneth bends down to pick up a blueprint (of giant robots). The blueprint is actually resting on a blue screen because “nothing is real”, and they added in the distinctive Radio City Music Hall carpet via the computer. But the blueprint is ALSO a “blue screen”. That blew my mind. The blueprint is a fractal manifestation of our blue screen computer consciousness. As above, so below.

In blue screen movie making, the blue background is made transparent in a concept similar to making a transparent GIF. Then the awesome background is composited in, and voila, we have giant robots in Manhattan or anything else you want.

Here, I’ve taken the original image with the blueprint, and crudely removed the carpet to reveal the blue screen, and then replaced it with another carpet that you may find familiar.

The color blue is actually the color “transparent”, the color our mind uses to reflect our illusions back on us. Blue sky ideas becoming real in the theater of the mind. The whole movie is about the SKY Captain, and it’s filmed entirely on SKY blue screen. This is their motto:

Ille Caelum Fremitus - "Those who roar to the sky"

I vainly paint blue circles on the walls and expect to walk through them. All I get is a blue nose.

3 X the Charm

I’ve been staying away from the most recent Malay aviation disaster - the crash of Air Asia flight 8501, but I figure I should come clean. You see, 501 is one of my “secret code numbers”. Levi’s 501 jeans are the archetypal “gay jean”, and combined with the triple pun jean/gene/genie, I couldn’t help but make 501 a strong sync for me over the years. Eventually I even made passwords that included 501.

And well… the same for 8, or 88 most specifically, because 8 = infinity, and that is where Doc Brown’s time machine goes.

So 8501 is a password. And guess what, the Asia Airlines AA logo shows an airplane flying through twin towers. As in… the American Airlines flight 11, that struck the North Tower on 9/11.

Flight 8501 is the third Malaysian air disaster in a row, and as Poseidon and his trident would say: “Three times the charm”.

I have to say that I am nonplussed. 501 is not exactly a big Illuminati number, unless perhaps Levi’s corporate execs are sitting in at the meetings. One of the weird things about sync is that we will often come to the point where the personal syncs and the macro sort of combine in unsettling ways, and we’ll say as a defense: “I didn’t do that.”

Well, maybe we did.
