The Killer Queen

She keeps her Moet et Chandon

In her pretty cabinet

'Let them eat cake' she says

Just like Marie Antoinette

A built-in remedy

For Kruschev and Kennedy

At anytime an invitation

You can't decline…

It is Memorial Day 2015 and I am reading “Why Everything You Think You Know About the Lincoln Assassination is Wrong” by investigative journalist David McGowan, at Center for an Informed America. He unravels the mainstream media narrative and doesn’t spare any punches. By the end of the story, we are wondering just how much Mary Todd Lincoln new about her husband’s death:

Yet another longstanding problem with the official story is the unexplained assignment of ne’er-do-well police officer John Parker as Lincoln’s personal bodyguard, an assignment he had landed just over a week earlier. That assignment had come, though no one really likes to talk much about it, at the instigation of Mary Todd Lincoln. Mary wrote a letter on April 3, 1865, handwritten on White Hose stationary, that read as follows: “This is to certify that John F. Parker, a member of the Metropolitan Police, has been detailed for duty at the Executive Mansion. By order of Mrs. Lincoln.” 

…a couple weeks before the assassination, Mary Todd Lincoln, who was known to go on extravagant shopping sprees, had purchased some $25,000 (in today’s dollars) worth of mourning clothes. It’s always good to be prepared. Even when your husband isn’t even ill, let alone dying.

One of many curious aspects about the Civil War is how many Freemasons were members of both the Union and Confederate parties, and how oddly similar were the assassinations of Lincoln and Kennedy, perhaps the most important being the secretive, undercover nature of it all. The occult Masonic symbolism at play is recorded in James Shelby Downard’s masterpiece: King-Kill/33º, Masonic Symbolism in the Assassination of John F. Kennedy.

An enduring theory on the JFK assassination is that Jackie did it. Now I see that Mary is also possibly implicated in the death of Lincoln.

Extraordinarily nice

In Masonic symbolism, the “Queen” is Isis (also called Mary, Ishtar, the Queen of Heaven, "to avoid complications she never kept the same address"), and wife of Osiris - the “King”. Isis is represented by the “Blazing Star” of Sirius, and is also represented by the Statue of Liberty, a gift from the French Freemasons to the American lodge.

Perfume came naturally from Paris (naturally)

For cars she couldn't care less

An Air France (AIRF.PA) flight 22 from PARIS was escorted by two U.S. F-15 fighter jets to New York's JOHN F. KENNEDY International Airport on Monday after an anonymous threat was made against the flight, the U.S. military said.
The anonymous threat came in a telephone call to a MARYland State Police barracks on Monday morning, and the caller made a bomb threat involving commercial aviation, MARYland State Police said.

Mary, Paris, 22 and JFK. Recall the curious business of Mary Todd Lincoln assigning the ne-er-do-well police officer as Lincoln’s personal bodyguard. The F-15’s represent “the king's bodyguard”.

“ISIS” threatens the head of Obama:

We will cut off your head in the White House': ISIS threatens to behead Obama and turn the U.S. into a 'Muslim province' in new execution video

She's a Killer Queen

Gunpowder, gelatine

Dynamite with a laserbeam

Guaranteed to blow your mind

I assume the F-15’s will prove as effective as John Parker.

Curious sync. I’m watching Arrow (based on the DC comics character Green Arrow) this week on Netflix, the mother of protagonist Oliver Queen was complicit in an assassination conspiracy against his father, by a secret society. Oliver Queen opens a disco as a cover for his secret Green Arrow activities. "Bring me the head of the disco King". Oh oh. Oliver's mom just assigned a bodyguard to him.

Burning Down the House

Last week a friend emailed me some pics of his neighbor’s house burning down. Noone was hurt, but imagining the memories and valuables that went up in flames, my heart goes out to the family.

A few years ago, Pearl Harbor Bob’s apartment in Jersey burned down, which was traumatic and oddly syncy because the apartments were named the Ponciana, which is also known as the “flame tree”. I call him Pearl Harbor Bob because he was born on Dec. 7, 1941.

For some reason, I’ve been syncing on reds, oranges and yellows, I go through color phases throughout the year, it finally dawned on me that these are the colors of fire.

I see firetrucks with regularity, and this weekend, the PT Rhody Festival Parade began at the cross streets of Lawrence and Harrison, where the PT fire station is located. The firemen had thoughtfully pulled out their firetrucks from the house and parked them a block away, since in the event of an emergency the parade would block the trucks parked in the garage.

Small town parades are Americana at the core, and the PT Rhody Parade is no exception. Whenever I attend, “American Pie” plays discretely in the background of my subconscious. The marching bands refuse to yield.

This sign went down the road, carrying Jesus and his cross. Accompanied by shouts of "God bless the USA!".

“I am not ashamed of the gospel of Jesus Christ: for it is the power of God unto salvation to everyone that believes.” - Romans 1:16

Thanks for the guilt trip, Jesus.

Via Bring a Trailor: This 1965 Mercedes Benz Unimog 404S is an ex German fire truck/radio vehicle, and though said to be in good running and driving condition its pressure plate is currently stuck and will need repair. A new OEM clutch is included, and overall condition appears to be quite good despite some rust visible on the rear box. Find it here on Craigslist in Lafayette, Oregon for $9,500 firm. 

Note the Lafayette name game. (thanks to Loren Coleman).

I went to church at St. Paul’s Episcopal today. They reminded me that next week is Pentecost.

Pentecost is so named because it occurred on the fiftieth day after the crucifixion. I enjoy the subtle Venus/Mary number. What occurred was the descent of the Holy Spirit upon the 12 apostles, and the birthday of the church, which is depicted as fire over the head.



Burning Down the House - The Talking Heads

How about a little fire, Scarecrow?

In the Wizard of Oz, the scarecrow represents the brain - ego. The only thing he fears is a lighted match! The Scarecrow is a flammable paper bag stuffed with straw, as is our ego. When the flame of Pentecost ignites, the bag is consumed in a holy fire.

The Kundalini is often described as a fiery serpent. When the fires of the Kundalini/Pentecost are lit, they ascend up the spinal column to the head or crown. A burning head.

It's a drought season again in the West. Seems like good fire starting weather.

The Mad Hatter

After the Dogon in the Hat episode of last summer, I’ve been keeping my eye on hat syncs. Got a doozy last week when some friends came over for a visit and shared their new invention called the “Hatitude”.

“No matter where you’re walking, everyone knows where you stand”.

A neighbor’s dog runs away quite a bit to come and see us. He’s a friendly little black and white dog from Kenya (like Obama). His name is Fez.

I don’t know much about fezzes except that they are highly symbolic hats worn by Greeks, Turks, Shriners, and Akbar and Jeff.

Fez has to run across busy Washington St. to get to our place, we’re afraid he’s going get himself hit.

There's a thread on FB  concerning - Always Record episode 117, about the prevalence of forehead marking rituals in the films of interest. It occurs to me that a mark on a hat, a logo on a baseball cap, might accomplish the same symbolic “magic”. I know that Crowley certainly believed in the magical power of head gear.

David S. birthday was also last week, he lives in Medicine Hat, Alberta.

In my youth, I knew a fellow named Rusty who had a family friend named Hatmaker. Mike Hatmaker, I think. I think I might make a few hats myself.
