Hark the Herald Nazis Sing

More evidence documenting the rebirth of the spirit of Adolph Hitler, AKA #HitlerJesus.

The Shaming of Volkswagen



The original Volkswagen Beetle was designed by Ferdinand Porsche in 1934 under contract from the National Socialists to create a “people’s car”, and is generally considered “Hitler’s car”. Be that as it may, the VW brand went on to become one of the most beloved automotive icons of the 20th century, that is, until the company was allegedly caught cheating on EPA air pollution standards via clever software. The fines, lawsuits and negative publicity of the scandal will cost the company billions.

Note: In 1902 Ferdinand Porsche was drafted into military service. He served as a chauffeur to Archduke Franz Ferdinand of Austria, the crown prince of Austria whose assassination sparked WWI a decade later.

#babyHitler


10/23/15 the NYT polled its readers on whether they would go back in time and kill Hitler as a baby. This, apparently, was the kind of thing that came to mind at the Times when it wanted to capitalize on the recent Back to the Future 2015 publicity. The birth of #babyJesus is celebrated on 12/25, the date Doc Brown pointed out when he was showing Marty how the time machine worked, along with 7/4/1776 and 11/5/55 - a “red letter day” in the history of science.

Apparently, Jeb Bush has “stepped up” on the question: Jeb Bush On Whether He'd Kill Baby Hitler: 'Hell Yeah, I Would!'

Christmas Moon Hitler

On 11/6/15, Stuart Heritage of the Guardian saw Hitler on the moon in the 2015 John Lewis Christmas ad: John Lewis Christmas advert: who is Moon Hitler?

Why has the old man been sent into space? Is he a war criminal?

The little girl and her telescope resonate Jodie Foster’s character Ellie Arroway in the film Contact. Even including the girl shooting an arrow at the moon. In Contact, Hitler is the first image sent to earth by the aliens. In the black comedy sci-fi film Iron Sky, the Nazis do indeed hide on the dark side of the moon.

Look Who's Back

Hitler comedy Look Who's Back becomes Germany's No 1 movie.

The Borat-style film, based on the bestselling novel by Timur Vermes, puts Adolf Hitler back into German society and utilises the reactions of real people for humour.

“Germans should be able to laugh at Hitler, rather than viewing him as a monster, because that relieves him of responsibility for his deeds and diverts attention from his guilt for the Holocaust,” director David Wnendt told the Guardian. “But it should be the type of laugh that catches in your throat and you’re almost ashamed when you realise what you’re doing.”

Guilt, shame, Holocaust. The broken record.

Jesus and Hitler are the two greatest scapegoats of the Western world. It feels like it’s time for that goat to rise again. The John Lewis video finishes with: “Show someone they’re loved this Christmas”. Too soon to send swastika themed Christmas cards?

The Crime of the Century



I binge-watched the Netflix production of Marvel’s Daredevil last April, and noted how Ben Urich, the reporter looking into the secret crimes of Hell’s Kitchen’s most noted “philanthropist” - Wilson Fisk, AKA Kingpin - drove a late 90’s Buick Century.


This automobile was perhaps chosen to underline Urich’s relative poverty compared to the transportation of the fat cats who he attempted to expose. Fisk’s lawyer drives a late model Maserati, for example.

Several of us were watching Daredevil and reporting syncs on FB, including Andrew West Griffin, owner and editor of Red Dirt Report. Andrew said that he once drove a Buick Century, which he had nicknamed “the Runt”, the name came to him while raking leaves on Oct. 11. That happens to be my birthday.

Hmmm….

According to Wikipedia:

The model name Century came about when Buick was designing its first production automobile capable of reaching a speed of 100 mph. The division needed to come up with a name. One of the Buick executives had returned from a recent trip to the British isles and told the other executives that the British referred to going 100 mph as "doing the century".

Centuries, or Centuriae, means TRIBE or COMPANY. Theoretically, this word traces its roots to centum which is Latin for one hundred, but that connection is widely disputed or disregarded.
A centurion (also hekatontarch in Greek sources, or, in middle Byzantine times, kentarch) was a professional officer of the Roman army.

As I noted in the previous entry, I spent last Memorial Day reading about the Lincoln assassination by Dave McGowan, or the “Crime of the Century”, as it was called back in the day. Like Urich and Griffin, McGowan is a reporter with a talent for unraveling the mainstream media trance. Perhaps his best analysis of the situation stems from asking the question: “If I was going to assassinate the President, how would I do it?” and considering the myriad opportunities to attack Lincoln while he was alone and vulnerable, the choice of “box seat, Ford’s theater with single shot pistol” defies credulity. However, the choice of venue was logical if part of the goal (perhaps most of it) was to create a national media sensation.

Dave McGowan notes how the Lincoln and Kennedy assassinations and also 911 are conspicuous simply by their conspicuousness. Engineered to be collective rituals, with outrageous and spectacular media manipulation to present a certain narrative of events.



The band Supertramp is syncing back in thanks to their album: Crime of the Century, and the next one: Breakfast in America, resonating 9/11 - the first “Crime of the NEW Century”.

Notes:
Kingpin: Originally, with the 'turntable' steering of horse-drawn wagons, this was a single pin on which the moveable axle was pivoted beneath the wagon's frame. -wikipedia

In other words, a steering device. Apparently the entire lesson is based upon who, or what, is doing the driving. Mad coachmen, runaway horses, the collective carriage is going off the cliff. Apparently, "Time's up, Runt!"

Robots in Disguise



In the Transformers film franchise, the giant robots are likened unto angels, with the ability to disguise themselves as every day machinery.

“Be not forgetful to entertain strangers: for thereby some have entertained angels unawares.” ~Hebrews 13:2



So I just couldn’t help but go see the giant robot disguised as the Polar Pioneer drilling platform that arrived in Port Angeles (get it?) on the Olympic Peninsula this week, on April 17th.

We drove out there today, and I was amused to find that you had to literally pass through a Japanese paper mill in order to drive out on the spit for the best view in the harbor. Almost as if we drove through a Manga gate.



Concurrently, the name “Leto” has been syncing strongly. Leto is the mother of Apollo and Artemis.

In the Olympian scheme, Zeus is the father of her twins, Apollo and Artemis, the Letoides. When Hera, the most conservative of goddesses — for she had the most to lose in changes to the order of nature —discovered that Leto was pregnant and that Zeus was the father, she realized that the offspring would cement the new order.
Hera banned Leto from giving birth on "terra firma", the mainland, any island at sea, or any place under the sun.
She found the barren floating island of Delos, still bearing its archaic name of Asterios, which was neither mainland nor a real island, and gave birth there.

An apt description of the Polar Pioneer drilling platform is a “floating island”. It made me wonder… is the new “Apollo” being born? Is Hera represented by the Greenpeace protesters?



As I parked the car to take some pictures, a Dodge Intrepid autobot pulled up and parked itself pointing directly at the floating island. Over the years, the word “intrepid” has gained a strong personal symbolism for me - it means “steadfast grail seeker”, and whenever I see it, it is saying “pay attention”.

In the Transformers universe, the AllSpark is the “life force”, the “grail”, and there are “heroic” Autobot robots who want to keep it secret, and there are “villainous” Decepticon robots who want to distribute it to the local earth machine population. Running the robot/angel allegory down, one might suppose that WE are the local earth “machine” population, though made of meat and DNA, not metal and C++.

Is Megatron the rebel angel? Does he offer the AllSpark apple of knowledge? It seems more like the fruit of a different tree - the Tree of Life. Would I refuse the fruit of the Tree of Life, even if offered by the devil? Not on your life.

—————————

NOTES:

When I looked around at the scrubby beach flora, I noticed that it was covered in a local variety of Wormwood.

4/20 was the 5 year anniversary of the Deepwater Horizon disaster.

Megatron, Metatron - tomatos, tomatoes.

“As a gesture of gratitude, Delos was secured with four pillars and later became sacred to Apollo.” If you squint at the oil platform through Japanese anime tinted glasses, you will clearly see a giant Transformer robot riding a golden, four pillared boat.

Trident vs. Tesla

Yesterday was 3/3, and I found myself at Pagliacci Pizza on Broadway eating lunch with Var. There was a bright red Tesla Model S parked out front, we had a great view of it from our window seat as we munched our slices. The kid behind the counter who waited on us, ducked outside to check it out, and then quickly ran back in, exclaiming "Damn! I lost $5 because I bet it was a Maserati." then the staff began talking about the trident being the Maserati logo.


The trident (Poseidon's weapon and Shiva's arrow) have been a long standing and venerable sync here at gosporn, so I was curious. When we got back home I saw that Libyan Sibyl had posted Follow the Trident and apparently the whole world is syncing tridents this week.

Maserati was a prominent Superbowl 2014 advertiser: "Now, we strike!" and a few weeks later, Croatia is in flames and there is the kind of US/Russian face off that hasn't been seen for decades. The Ukrainian coat of arms is a stylized trident called the tryzub, which means "three teeth."



The "brand confusion" between the two automobiles representing an invitation from sync to confuse or interchange the two logos.



Tesla Motors is named after Nikola Tesla, the enigmatic scientist and electrical engineer who's alleged secret work is often tied to conspiracy theories of "free energy", UFO's and secret weapons. Some link his theories to the High Frequency Active Auroral Research Program, or HAARP, which has been accused of being a secret weapon capable of causing everything from chronic fatigue syndrome to floods, droughts, hurricanes, thunderstorms and... earthquakes.
A significant earthquake has struck the Crimean peninsula in the Ukraine within the last hour and Russian military sources are claiming it was a deliberate attack by the United States using it's HAARP Array in Alaska, in retaliation for Russia placing troops into the Ukraine. -source
Poseidon is the god of earthquakes - which he causes by striking his trident to the ground.

Yet Another Holy Grail Metaphor





“It is designed purely for hyper-sophisticated people who want only the most extreme and special things in the world. It represents hedonism taken to the extreme, it is a car without compromises, in a word: egoista,” said Walter De Silva, the VW Group’s head of design, at a private unveiling in Italy.

Mr. De Silva: “Extreme” is putting it incredibly lightly, and as a reminder, “egoist” roughly translates to “selfish.”

This car is a mashup of Speed Racer’s Mach 5, a Matchbox car and Apache helicopter. It’s the sort of thing you see scribbled in the margins of a 10-year-old’s math homework. Words fail to describe the complete and utter insanity of this maniacal mishmash of angles and creases, stuffed with a 5.2-liter V10. It’s the road-going equivalent of a cheetah on roller skates with a ballistic missile strapped to its back.

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

I have a fascination with cars because they are the best representation of a "Grail" I can find. A Grail is a sort of symbiotic partnership between a 3rd dimension ego-centric monkey mind and a 5th dimension, crystalline, morphing, sub/super conscious entity that lives outside of time. This is your "soul-mate", your very own personal holy Grail. She is commonly represented as a woman because she is both all powerful and completely submissive. The "driver" is you, the mental monkey. This is commonly represented as a man, because he is both weak as a kitten and all commanding.

Some of my favorite Grail metaphors are Captain Kirk's Enterprise and Doctor Brown's DeLorean. This Lambo goes to the top of the list now, because it is a single seater (only one Grail per ego, that's the limit), it's all crystalline and creased, and sexy in a teen fantasy sort of way, and it has that amazing hexagonal step plate.

The hexagon is the symbol of Saturn, or the God of time. Step on it, Marty!

This Lotus Must Be Eaten

1. A few weeks ago, a bright green 1974 Lotus Europa followed me up the road for a while.
2. Last week, a friend emailed me a cool Lotus concept car.
3. Yesterday, I saw an article about a motor yacht named Lotus in the paper.
4. A few hours later, I met the owner of a green Lotus Super 7 that happened to pull into the Safeway parking lot as my mom was buying some groceries.



The interesting thing about Lotus is that Colin Chapman, Lotus founder and CEO, was hired by John DeLorean to design the DeLorean motor car, which is... the time machine.

The irony is that DeLorean didn't have "time" to design his own sports car from scratch, so he hired Chapman to do it PDQ. The only way Chapman could do it, was by using an existing Lotus design - the Lotus Esprit - as the basic platform.

In sync logic, it is the Sacred Lotus that is the guts of the time machine.


Where we're going, we don't need roads.

Running the Bulls



This spring saw the 50th anniversary of Automobili Lamborghini.

The Bulls run around St. Peter's

In Rome all, 350 Lamborghinis were parked in the Vatican’s San Pietro Square before they arrived at Bologna.


In every Mithraeum the centerpiece was a representation of Mithras killing a sacred bull; the tauroctony.


Mithras is depicted as being born from a rock. He is shown as emerging from a rock, already in his youth, with a dagger in one hand and a torch in the other. Peter means "the rock".



Initiation into the Mithraic mysteries was common in the Roman military.

Drive By Web Shot

Italian convertibles are called "spyders"
This sharp black Ferrari 308 drove by a few weeks ago in downtown Kirkland, I barely had time to shoot the pic and when I downloaded it I saw all these arrows pointing at it!? I took this rather seriously, since Magnum P.I. drove a Ferrari 308 - a challenge to my sync detective abilities. Suddenly it was all about threes and eights.



Spidey senses tingling...
Then I saw this three wheeled contraption with a spider logo on the front. Hmmm.... eight, spiders - the weavers of webs (this is what we call a sync 2x4). That's when I saw a kid with a web tattoo on his face? so of course I think of the web slinger, Arachne's brother.


Web slingers never clean up their mess.
And then I was walking by the playground at Grass Lawn Park (above) And I began to see the web laid all over everything.


Plaid lads from Superversity
3D model images from Modo.com
The matrix of our reality can be visualized as a web-like grid of mathematical construction, much like a 3D model is really just a bunch of math and code. The web of inter-related lines graphically presents how inter-connected we all are, woven of the same stuff, and how pulling one thread can effect the entire blanket of our reality.


I was doing some WEB design today, using an HTML editor called Dreamweaver. This makes rather obvious sense - the web of conscious experience is woven by the subconscious mind. I like to think I'm a webmaster apprentice, perhaps I should start wearing plaid. Or maybe not.

I was stumped on the 3. It can mean so many things from the holy trinity to the points that define a triangle or represent a pyramid. But then I was at a funeral for D. Bow King last Wednesday and my folks talked about the cruise they all took on a giant trimaran. Trimaran = trident, at least on this blog.

I was on the ferry to the funeral (the underworld) and I saw this guy wearing a spiderman t-shirt in front of a guy reading a book in front of a guy wearing a Mariner's "trident" cap. The trident for sure! That triple pronged arrow of Shiva, Satan or Poseidon - all Lords of the subconscious.

Me, Myself and I
I see the man in the middle as my conscious self, reading. The man in the trident cap represents my subconscious reading along, just over my shoulder. He's creating the web of reality that I see projected in front of me. A Plato's Cave moment.

I was musing about the "horned hand", triple pronged sign of our web slinger, and how our favorite politicos share a similar signal - the sign of the weaver. Just because they weave, doesn't mean they have any skill. Any 3D computer modeler or spinner knows that it's important to keep the web as uniform as possible, warps and  wefts all neatly laid out. Who knows what kind of trouble a tangled web might bring?

Weaving spiders come not here.

Aftermath

Well, Oliver's back home, resting peacefully. I want to attempt to share with you how strange yesterday really was for me, from a sync point of view. Remember the sudden onslaught of Fleur de Lis that began early March?

The morning of the 17th we were visiting Oliver at the vet and this van was parked a few blocks away. It includes 441, the mirror of 144 (the no. of the sealed, 12 times the 12 tribes of Judah, etc.)



Back on the 14th I was walking Ginger (Oliver's sister) to her favorite little park and I found this green fleur de lis lying by the side of the road directly across from it. I picked it up and I've been keeping it in my pocketses...


Back to the 17th. I decided to take 'the Ginj' to her park again, and I found these chalk marks on the sidewalk on the way:


It had nothing to do with St. Patrick's Day, just some writing left by some utility worker. We get to the park, which is named Louie Park, after the owner's dog. That gives me Sirius, Louie Armstrong, and Louis 14 the Sun King all in one little sign. Note the danger.


The sign sits on this lonely little shed, which has some gigantic diamonds on it.



If you walk around to the back of the shed, and peak into the 'rear window' ;-), you'll see an old blue Ford Falcon in storage, though when I peaked this time it appears that work is being done on the engine, so maybe Horus is finally getting ready to fly.


Obligatory Hollywood movie poster with a dead Goddess

Continuing on around the block, we come to the Holy Family Catholic Church, and this interesting vehicle parked out front:


It's a red VW Eurovan, which gives us the obligatory Nazi sync (VW was Hitler's "people's car") and yet another 144. Which is "thinking green":



Rounding the corner to head back home, we come across a WSU (Wazzoo) Cougar sign. Mountain LION, or red lion of Judah.


As I was putting the finishing touches on this little yellow brick road, Bring a Trailer posts this orange Alfa Romeo Montreal. 1971, (17 reversed) Montreal (Royal Mountain, Fleur de Lis), "awakened from slumber".


Alfa Romeo has perhaps the most wonderful badge of all automobiles (that's a 'Saracen' in the jaws of the serpent) and they even include a 'quadrifoglio' (4 leaf clover) in their iconography.
So I'm putting all that into my pipe and smoking it during the next week. That is, in between buying canned food and moving into the basement to avoid the radioactive cloud from Japan. On the horizon is March 25, the feast day of St. Dismas, the "good thief". I have a feeling it will be memorable.
