I half expected something interesting to happen yesterday (being the total lunar eclipse), but I never expected the Lapsit Exillis of Thoth.
South Africa's diamond industry was surprised by reports that a small mining firm had found a stone estimated at 7,000 carats, twice the size of the Cullinan diamond, the largest ever found.
In the only picture of the stone that has been released, it appears remarkably smooth-sided for a large uncut rough diamond, and has a rare greenish hue.
Brett Jolly, who says he is a shareholder in the unidentified mine in North West Province, where the stone was found, said: "It's green and it's big."
Who comes up with this stuff? It's like a poorly written cartoon show: "And on that day, when the moon turns to blood, Lucifer's crown shall be found."
The Soviet inspired imagery of Go West got me to thinking about Red symbolism in my own town.
The Seattle neighborhood of Fremont (famous for it's Solstice Parade and general air of hip funkiness) has this fabulous statue of Lenin - a prize from the collapse of the USSR when Russians were selling anything that wasn't bolted down for rubles on the dollar.
We also have our own 'Red Square' - the Central Plaza at the University of Washington, named for its red bricks (my Alma Mater, BTW). A quick tour:
The most prominent structures are the triple "pillarmids" as Jake Kotze would call them. Two nearly equal large brick towers, with a smaller third. Symbolic pyramids on the plains of Giza/Cydonia?
Red Square also displays a literal pyramid - the red hued Cor-Ten steel sculpture called 'Broken Obelisk'.
The two largest buildings on the square are Kane(sic) Hall and Suzzallo Library.
The 240-foot long Graduate Reading Room features cathedral ceilings and tall stained glass windows and spans the entire third floor of the west face of the library. Its distinctive look is said to have been inspired by Henry Suzzallo's openly-stated belief that universities should be "cathedrals of learning." --Wikipedia
That old Tree of Knowledge again.
Hogwarts West
Adorning the exterior of the early wings are terra cotta sculptures of influential thinkers and artists selected by the faculty. They include Moses, Louis Pasteur, Dante Alighieri, Shakespeare, Plato, Benjamin Franklin, Justinian I, Isaac Newton, Leonardo da Vinci, Galileo Galilei, Johann Wolfgang von Goethe, Herodotus, Adam Smith, Homer, Johann Gutenberg, Ludwig van Beethoven, Charles Darwin and Hugo Grotius. --Wikipedia
Seems like a pretty good list of Masons, Grand Masters and such.
What's funny is that Red Square is the cruisiest place on campus - horny male students looking for quick lust relief are always lurking about, day and night. The sons of Adam, tentatively peeling off their fig leaves directly below the monuments created by the great apron wearers themselves - like mammals beneath the feet of the dinosaurs... right before the asteroid.
An ongoing exploration of the red star and its association with homosexuality.
'Another Country' is a play by Julian Mitchell (and a movie starring Rupert Everett) loosely based upon the life of the spy Guy Burgess, examining the effect that his homosexuality and his exposure to Marxism have on him and the hypocrisy and snobbery of the British public school system. The country he spied for happened to fly a symbolic red star (It's a fabulous film, BTW).
Nowadays, even though Communism is virtually dead ("Red" China is even more capitalist than the USA, which is probably why it gets such bad press - outdoing the original rapists at their own game...) the great fear of global Communism always plays well with NWO conspiracy theorists.
I wonder what sort of economic system Jesus would set up in his millennial rule? Would it perhaps be similar to that set up in the book of Acts?
All the believers were together and had everything in common. Selling their possessions and goods, they gave to anyone as he had need. --Acts 2:44-45
Oh, say it isn't so! The language of radical socialism reflects that of the Borg - collectives, workers (worker bees are drones) - and it reminds me how Hollywood's (and Satan's) job is to portray the Divine Collective (I AM) as something to be dreaded.
Star Man, from the Rush album 2112, released in 1976.
Rush presents more dystopian alien invasion. From Wikipedia: In the year 2062, a galaxy-wide war results in the union of all planets under the rule of the Red Star of the Solar Federation. The world is controlled by the Priests of the Temples of Syrinx, who determine the content of all reading matter, songs, pictures - every facet of life during the year 2112 ("The Temples of Syrinx").
"All it means is the abstract man against the masses. The red star symbolizes any collectivist mentality." - Neil Peart (Creem, 1982).
Fear the red star.
Inverting the meme, I figure alien Jesus will show up in a moon-shaped spaceship emblazoned with a big red star. It'll be filled with homosexual clones who can barely stop fucking each other long enough to get an invasion underway. Jesus will have sexy little horns (like a lamb) on his forehead, and a raging rod-of-iron (ready for his "bride"). The ship will stink of stale beer and cigar smoke (they all smoke like chimneys) and from giant speakers will blast 'It's Raining Men' by the Weather Girls.
No wonder Earth goes to war... heaven is a gay bar.
NOTES:
The original 1981 production of 'Another Country' opened at the Greenwich Theatre in south-east London, and then moved to the West End (girls). In the movie, Charles Spencer, 9th Earl Spencer, Diana, Princess of Wales's younger brother, is present in three scenes as an extra without any dialogue.
For those of you whose Christian toes I may have stepped on. Let me take the opportunity to disabuse you of some lovely myths. For instance, the historic Jesus was not nearly the sainted figure has been made out to be. In addition to being a lover of young boys and men. he was given to uncontrollable bursts of temper and hatred that belied the general message of love, understanding and other typical Marcab PR. You have only to look at the history his teachings inspired to see where it all inevitably leads. --L. Ron Hubbard. OT VIII
Perhaps the above is the single unadulterated truth within Scientology. Jesus was a fag. The evidence is overwhelming, if you look at it with your 'queer eye'. That's the whole reason for homophobia, because we gotta have "great delusion" in the End Times. This planet would never accept a gay Messiah. It's unthinkable. We'd rather "fight than switch". The conspirators are busy substituting Mary Magdalene for John (the disciple Jesus loved) because the obvious truth is so unpalatable.
The twin Scientology spokesmen are Tom Cruise and John Travolta - both (not so) secret homosexuals. Why would "self-hating" queers buy into such a homophobic organization? Because of shame - the shame that has always haunted the sons of Adam - our "Achilles heel".
As far as temper goes, Bronski Beat screams gay rage better than most in 'Tell Me Why'.
Never feel guilty, never give in.
NOTES:
Bronski Beat lead singer Jimmy Somerville went on to form the Communards - another nod at the red star.
L. Ron - Elron - the leader of the elves. Who the fuck ARE the elves?
The Pizza delivery boy is a perennial favorite in gay porn - happy to make deliveries front and rear. In the case of this Brad Parker cartoon, the slice of pi is delivered right where it counts.
Mel Brook's 'Spaceballs' has a character named 'Pizza the Hut' - who eats himself while trapped in a taxi - the Ouroboros.
In 'Back to the Future III', Marty McFly (hehe) hurls a 'Frisbie Pie Company' pie plate through the air at the villain and his 'one shot' pistol, thereby inventing the 'Frisbee' (more bees, sorry). Flying discs, flying saucers.
The mas grande flying disc of all is the Milky (spermy?) Way, which is rumored to contain a ravenous black hole at its center. Star Trek slices up the galaxy into quadrants, though perhaps six or eight slices would be easier to eat. In the miserable 'Star Trek V: The Final Frontier' , the crew meets 'God' in the center of the galaxy.
But back to the pizza boy - the synthesis of food and sex - I wonder if pizza is served at the Wedding Feast?
NOTES:
Star Trek 11 (2008) is to be directed by synchromystic darling J.J. Abrams.
None of this would have been possible without the extraordinary pizza-baking skills of my hubby. Thanks V
