Pictured left and right above, Pazuzu: “The name Pazuzu comes from the Sumerian word pazuzu meaning ‘the fierce wind’…” https://www.deliriumsrealm.com/pazuzu/ ; however, the iconic first appearance of this daemon dates from the 8th century BCE (799-700), a time when Mesopotamia and Babylon were under the dominance of Persia, the fourthempire to rule the Near East (in the order of Sumer, Akkad, Assyria and Persia). “Zu” a is title shortened from “Anzu” in Akkadian, representing a half man-half bird called “The Wise One” in the older myth traditions of Sumer and Akkad (c.2200 BCE). “Zuzu” I can guess is either a double-headed bird or one whole single flyer. “Pa” is a word root in both Persian and Sanskrit for “protection” and the Pazuzu amulet was put to that purpose, mainly for use by women and babies as protection against other daemons. Like the deeply ancient mother goddess figurines, Pazuzu heads compare to real-world bird brains, growing loftier over time with a larger and higher job description as do other bird brains in my narrative.
Pazuzu was re-introduced to the world in the 1973 hit movie The Exorcist, adapted from the 1971 book by its author William Peter Blatty. The setting for Blatty’s story is Washington DC’s own neighborhood of Georgetown, spot on God’s Meridian, the 77 longitude, connected by the Francis Scott Key bridge to Arlington (different from the bridge in Baltimore that crashed on March 26, 2024). Georgetown’s bridge over the Potomac ties it to Rosslyn, the neighborhood site of Dark Star Park, across the wide Arlington burial grounds from the Pentagon. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Georgetown_(Washington,_D.C.)
“Our Lady” of Paris had its cornerstone laid on Easter, Resurrection Day, of 1163 (1+1+6+3=11) March 31 (31-3) according to the Julian calendar then in use. No existing document in church history proffers the date, we’re told, even with the King of France and Pope attending. Adding sufficient days for modern Gregorian conversion means that April 15 (4+15=19), 2019 is exceptionally close to the actual 856-year (8+5+6=19) anniversary of the cathedral –the day that it burned in the 19th (6-7pm) hour. Six men who had been at work on construction that day died in the roof collapse. “…Meton of Athens, in the 5th century BC, judged the cycle to be a whole number of days, 6,940 [6+9+4+0=19]. Using these whole numbers facilitates the construction of a lunisolar calendar… A 19-year cycle is used for the computation of the date of Easter each year.” https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Metonic_cycle
The south-facing wall with the giant rose window called the “noon rose,” seen above on the right, was reported almost lost in the fire. The window height soars 19 meters from the floor foundation and draws a visitor’s eye across the Seine. At risk was a very rare, perhaps one-of-a-kind, depiction of Adam and Eve in stained glass. Do you see a flamingo (phoenicopterus) fire bird?
This is going to be a positively cephalic post, and it’s shaping up in my mind to be a long bulletin board –time will tell—because I think I can do a lot of dot-connecting with this topic. Included in that thought are previous blog articles and subjects like the Atomic Agent Oswald series (unfinished), Sandy Hook, encephalitic diseases (polio, flu, crow-vid), new material on Law, myth & mysticism and much more unposted bloggy kind of business.
I also have stray but interesting facts that seem to need this nest, such as an historic sequence of tree blight in the 20th century : Chestnut, Elm, Pine, Hemlock and Ash: C-E-P-H-A, in that order. Whaaaht…!? Questions, questions… Do we really live under an evilarchy of human doers? Is tree blight another intriguing clue to the scientific doing of undoing? …birds, bees and trees!?
Groundwork, think-seeds, and my method of narrative are already posted in the body of Corona the Crow and the Crow Notes, so I’ll list them high and move on in usual style—on the fly!…today, tomorrow, next week, etc.
When God was a bird is referencing the BRAIN figurines called ‘venus’ and ‘mother goddess’ totems –icons from unknown misty history. New bird/brain comparison pictures are up at the latest (previous post) of Crow Notes. If the old bird brain figurines are as old as the archaeologists suggest (i.e.40,000 years) we have no way of actually knowing their social function in context. That they ARE bird brains in form is beyond dispute or controversy, in my opinion, supported by myth and legend. When and how recorded civilizations internalized the Birds should be part of a new story, especially to include pandemic influenza and Corvid-19.
And for the straightforward English language gematrians (A=1, B=2, C=3… Z=26) :

170) Corona The Crow (what is SARS-Corona really? myths, symbols, metaphor and Twilight Language)
“Science is made by men, a self-evident fact that is far too often forgotten.” –Werner Heisenberg
(sourced from the 2025 book “The Devil Reached Toward the Sky, an Oral History of the Making & Unleashing of the Atomic Bomb” by Garrett M. Graff)
New Catastrophism could hardly invent a better story than the unleashing of newks (pardon my spelling). Heisenberg, famed for the “uncertainty principle” in quantum physics, took on a prominent role as Germany’s Prometheus in rivalry with the “American Prometheus” Robert Oppenheimer–a popular 2005 ‘best-in-class’ book by Kai Bird and Martin Sherwin. Bird and “sure win”?? Am I poking fun? For the record, I don’t believe n-weapons are a hoax, rather an actualized stage of apocalyptic destruction in a global theater. It has an earlier counterpart in so-called Spanish Flu, both highly complex, war-ending (denoting victory), and paradigmatic earth shakers brought by the Gas Giants.
But, to the point, did we learn in school that the creator of mankind, Prometheus, was a twin?
A pair of brother “Twins within” : 1000 BCE Persian figurine compared with the ‘male’ (front-facing) human brain
Prometheus (‘foresight’) and Epimetheus (‘hindsight’) get a role reversal in our new-clear history version. Oppenheimer, I contend, is America’s Epimetheus. In the myth of the twins, these Titans (old gods) are both punished by Zeus, the Olympian usurper: Prometheus (Heisenberg, anyone?) is chained and tortured by the bird for ‘stealing god- fire’ and giving it to man, while ‘foolish’ Epimetheus is wed to the seductive and human Pandora (meaning “all gifts”; innocence? vanity? curiosity?), made for him by Zeus, and unthinkingly opens her ‘jar of all troubles’.
The real-life ‘rivalry’ between Heisenberg and Oppenheimer is a myth. As I know it, in the summer of 1939 at the University of Michigan, physicist Samuel Goudsmit hosted a last gathering of international colleagues before the outbreak of World War II where Heisenberg attended. Anticipating their future ‘patriotic’ obligations, all were concerned for his welfare under Nazi authority and bid him not to return to Germany. There, in secret among a few trusted friends including Goudsmit, Heisenberg passionately swore he would never help the Nazis build atomic weapons or destroy Germany in the process. Therefore, he told them, he must return to prevent anyone else from helping either. In all respects, Heisenberg carried through to the point of failing to acquire technical knowledge that would aid the ‘project’. A certain proof of Heisenberg’s fidelity in the late days of war was to walk away unknowing that he had been targeted for assassination by an American physicist/baseball player named Moe Berg who sat and drank coffee with him somewhere in Switzerland. At war’s end, Heisenberg was held in custody by the British and ‘bugged’ for more information, thanks to the “atomic agents” of operation ALSOS (Boris Pash, Samuel Goudsmit, Moe Berg) and a probable American military intelligence officer in-the-know named Clay Shaw.

For the purpose of this post, I’ll give my own ‘working’ definition of a crystal: a discrete object wherein all of its constituent units are homogeneous and identical.
Frankenstein; or The Modern Prometheus (originally published anonymously) in 1818; for a decoded review of the newest movie remake (released November of 2025) compared to the original novel (pick up the video at 1hr 19 minutes) see Mind Unveiled channel https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RcLc2vX_3I0
Frankenstein’s Creature was 8 feet tall with yellow skin and long, lustrous black hair—like a great plucked raven– likely envisioned here by illustrator Theodor von Holst (1831 edition), who died of a liver disease on February 14, 1844 at age 33. Mary “God win” Shelley, who conceived of the novel at age 18 (as her story goes), may have approved. She died February 1, 1851 (2+1+15= 18). And here’s Victor –same face? You won’t see it in any other Frankenstein books or movies, and Mind Unveiled makes no comment on their ‘twin’ appearance, but sometimes you don’t have to—seeing is enough. “The creature always seems to find him” goes the narration, and when not in the open, he comes to Victor’s window.
It is this very looking-glass element I most want to peruse.
_______________________________________________
The Sandy Hook monster: creation and creator (so to speak)? Same face?
See the Lady of the Library video (17 minutes), “The Universe Doesn’t Care…,” for a brief bio and philosophical sketch of H.P. Lovecraft
Look into the liminal spaces to see Lovecraft under the mask of Adam, and then imagine a kid with a digital crayon working it over, as if ‘the children’ themselves created the monster that would burst through the window and destroy them.
Howard Phillips Lovecraft was born on August 20, 1890; 8+20 (28) and 1+8+9+0 (18) = 46, also his age at death in the city of his birth, Providence Rhode Island. His full name in gematria number code equals 272. https://www.shematria.com/newindex272 A few select meanings from the 272 list: to kindle, consume by fire or eating; waste; brutish; to cross over, cover, convey; meddle, provoke; intermix, co-mingle in a web; dusk [twilight] and raven — meanings drawn from biblical and religious texts –the antithesis of Lovecraftian belief!
In the end, no one could fully piece the Sandy Hook monster together. The story is everyone’s and no one’s– a creature of culture. “SHE” was erased down to the last crushed brick and made new. Nine years and 317 days later (9 + 11), a monument was opened to the public (Nov 13, 2022). The very last brick is there, hidden under a plaque and made from the warehouse full of saved mementos; teddy bears, toys, candles, cards, crosses and maybe even Christmas trees, incinerated and compressed to a monolithic black mass.
During an image search for ‘Adam and Eve,’ intending to show it as ‘brain’ structure and expecting some medieval illuminated manuscript, I quickly found something surprising—but not surprising really. This 4th century carving on stone turned out to be more illuminating.
Among the earliest Christian artifacts known, Agape’s box shows a first couple depiction considered to be very rare. What struck me first about this panel is the lack of physical differentiation between Adam and Eve. It reminded me right away of the Persian figurine and the Frankenstein pictures— identical ‘males’ for each. And there’s also something I’m learning new from this sarcophagus, that the lamb is associated with Eve and the wheat with Adam.
Some human brain anatomy comes in handy here: The so-called ‘female/goddess’ side of the brain core is posterior and back-facing: Eve is the eye in the back of the head with an apple for a pineal gland, (and in bird words) nerve feathers stretching out toward the visual cortex nested in the occipital plate defined by the lambdoid suture. The interior ‘cross’ of the bony occipital plate that She is facing is called the cruciform eminence.
Meaning and usage of lambda: “In physics, particularly in quantum mechanics, the lambda symbol is often used to represent the wavelength of a wave or the decay constant in radioactive decay. It is also used to represent the cosmological constant, which is a term introduced by Albert Einstein in his theory of general relativity to account for the expansion of the universe… In feminist movements, the lambda symbol has also been used as a powerful symbol of resistance and empowerment. The symbol was adopted by the National Women’s Conference in Houston in 1977 [Venus!]. It was chosen because it resembled the Greek letter “lambda,” which stands for liberation…” [also adopted by LGBTQ+ whatever] https://shunspirit.com/article/lambda-symbol-meaning
Agape and Crescentian were most likely to have been Christian gnostics, evidenced by the other panels on her tomb. I can only find pictures of three panels (lid edges included), versus five-of-six that could be carved, but nevertheless Jesus is a central figure on the front. He is shown fully-robed, young and beardless with curly, thick-looking hair—the most feminine of all the characters displayed. And at least one change attributable to the emerging Christian believers of this early period, significantly diverging from Judaism, is that they stopped sacrificing lambs. For my conceptual uses here, read that as “stopped killing their mothers” and by extension babies too.
Agape (ah-GAH-pay):
“agape (n.) c. 1600, from Greek agapē “brotherly love, charity,” in Ecclesiastical use “the love of God for man and man for God,” a late and mostly Christian formation from the verb agapan “greet with affection, receive with friendship; to like, love,” which is of unknown origin. It sometimes is explained as *aga-pa- “to protect greatly,” with intensifying prefix aga-.” The Christian use may have been influenced by Hebr. ‘ahaba’, “love” [Beekes]. Agape, in plural, was used by early Christians for their “love feast,” a communal meal held in connection with the Lord’s Supper…” https://www.etymonline.com/word/agape ; The Lord’s Supper, or Eucharist (communion), is the transubstantiation of bread and wine into the flesh and blood of Christ, and when instituted by the Roman church, taught as an actual hocus-pocus transformation.
I have a ‘self-evident’ proposition: In the Old Testament book of Genesis, chapter 11: 1-9, where “the people are one and they all have one language,” (NKJV, Tower of Babel) the language is MATH and comprehending its meaning is AFTERMATH.
Mathematics — “the concepts of numerical and spatial relations… directly from Latin mathematica (plural), from Greek mathēmatike tekhnē ‘mathematical science,’ feminine singular of mathēmatikos (adj.) ‘relating to mathematics’[;]…pertaining to learning, disposed to learn,’ from mathēma (genitive mathēmatos) ‘science, knowledge, mathematical knowledge; a lesson,’ literally ‘that which is learnt;’ from manthanein ‘to learn,’ from PIE root *mendh- ‘to learn’… ‘Mystical doctrines as to the relation of time to eternity are also reinforced by pure mathematics, for mathematical objects, such as numbers, if real at all, are eternal and not in time. Such eternal objects can be conceived as God’s thoughts. [Bertrand Russell, ‘A History of Western Philosophy’]” https://www.etymonline.com/word/mathematics
…so, the less romanized languages that dominate Europe & North America maintain this ancient root of (undifferentiated)“man” as math. If you’re still hanging with me, you might enjoy this 1 hour audio from Red Ice Radio with guest Marty Leeds https://archive.org/details/youtube-cwbAZCyW2ak; Marty also made a documentary about Sandy Hook dedicated to one extraordinary man in pursuit of the truth: “Dear Wolfgang, Revisiting Sandy Hook” https://www.archive.org/details/DearWolfgang-RevisitingSandyHook from which I’ve pulled the image below.
Here’s the slogan– can the in-form-ation be any plainer? Do you like codes, puzzles, wordplay, anagrams, acronyms, ciphers and games of chance? –Bird language? The acronym from the top is WASH –wash like laundry? or “we are” Wash, as in D.C.? I’m working on some anagrams for the whole sign, but here’s my first all-letter anagram for ‘we are sandy hook’ (=164=(1+6+4)=11) and it reads like a directive memo: “re: ok Wash Day One” Back in 2011, Eric Holder visited Connecticut staties to apprise them of the government’s gun-control policy to “repetitively… brainwash“** their citizens to disarm. “O’ Hades woke Ryan” is another all-letter WASH, and attentive observers remember the ‘Ryan’ script, but “we choose love”-craft, huh?, so ADAM emerged from the underworld.
Using all 26 letters from the billboard, applying the most letters to words having sense with speech, turns up a little Q&A spell. Question: what does the spell do? Answer: “Does craven YHWH laws, ooookeee?” The split arrangement of the sign lettering stacks 14 over 12, a mirror for the day of 12-14. That’s the sum, and enough SHE for now.
There are 22 bones in the head that determine structure and form and an additional 7 that facilitate function of the senses, including speech. https://www.theskeletalsystem.net/skull-bones; 22/7 is our approximation for Pi (3.14 to infinity). This Pi sits atop a slender staff of 33 vertebrae, and to our erstwhile Babylonian ancestors, the architecture resembles a date palm tree: “Sumerians first began their relationship with the date palm, a tree that towered up to 100 feet and could live up to 200 years, as early as 4000 BC… They called the date palm (phoenix dactylifera) gishimmar, and its fruit, zulum… According to a German Assyriologist…[named] Benno Landsberger, these words are from a pre-Sumerian language…that…place India alongside Mesopotamia as the origin of the idea to cultivate the date palm. Further, the Biblical Archaeology Society says in an article, ‘The earliest-known date seeds were found in the Indus Valley settlements…[of] the sixth millennium BC, suggesting that dates originated in the East and were carried to the Near East and Egypt.’ ” https://allmesopotamia.wordpress.com/2018/01/28/dates-in-mesopotamia/ Palm trees, incidentally, grow native varieties in temperate zones all over the earth. The seed carriers, we can guess, are likeliest to have been ships and birds, the best of all spreaders.
Akkadian era cylinder seal—the oldest Adam and Eve?—what do you think?
“Assyriologist George Smith described the Adam and Eve seal as having two figures (male and female) on each side of a tree, holding out their hands to the fruit, while between the backs of the figures is a serpent, which he saw as evidence that the Fall of Man legend was known in early times of Babylonia… The professor in comparative mythology and comparative religionJoseph Campbell sees in it a cult that has probably emerged and developed in the Neolithic period presenting the mother goddess associated with the Tree of Life and the serpent. He writes: ‘Hence the early Sumerian seal figure cannot possibly be, as some scholars have supposed, the representation of a lost Sumerian version of the Fall of Adam and Eve. Its sprits is that of the idyll in the much earlier, Bronze Age view of the garden of innocence, where the two desirable fruits of the mythic date palm are to be culled: the fruit of enlightenment and the fruit of immortal life. The female figure at the left, before the serpent, is almost certainly the goddess Gula-Bau (a counterpart, as we have said of Demeter and Persephone) while male on the right, who is not mortal but a god, as we know from his horned lunar crown, is no less surely his beloved son-husband Dumuzi, Son of the Abyss: Lord of the Tree of Life…” https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Adam_and_Eve_cylinder_seal
The ‘allalu’ bird, a.k.a. Coraciidae (/kɒrəˈsaɪ.ɪdiː/) is a family of Old World birds, which are known as rollers because of the aerial acrobatics some of these birds perform during courtship or territorial flights. The family contains 13 species and is divided into two genera. Rollers resemble crows in size and build, and share the colourful appearance of kingfishers and bee-eaters…They are monogamous and nest in an unlined hole in a tree or in masonry… The family gets its scientific name for Latin coracium, ‘like a raven‘, and the English name ‘roller’ from the aerial acrobatics…” https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Coraciidae
Of course, the roller when rolled produces an image of two serpents framing two seated figures flanking the two-fruited palm, as in the Bible Society photo I’m showing. [source: https://armstronginstitute.org/188-early-cylinder-seals-and-the-garden-of-eden] One must complete the circle and the symmetry. A ‘magic circle’ in the practice is created by closing it, acquiring Pi and producing perpetual energy according to believers—demonstrated in the Stuxnet computer virus post by beginning and ending the ‘message’ with the same symbol. It’s the symmetry and placement of serpents (claustrum) that helps identify the “Temptation seal” as a brain schematic. And, according to myth from which Campbell is leading, Dumuzid/Tammuz/Adon is a bird.

How important is symmetry? “…Perceptual constancy is essential in everything we do, like recognition of familiar objects and scenes, planning and executing visual navigation, visuomotor coordination, and many more. Perceptual constancy would not exist without the geometrical and physical permanence of objects: their shape, size, and weight…[as] invariants, also known in mathematics and physics as symmetries. Symmetries of the Laws of Physics …is applied to mirror-symmetrical objects and establishes mental shape representation (perceptual conservation) through the application of a simplicity (least-action) principle…” https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC8419223/
Cymatic holograph images of WATER, described by John Stuart Reid, CymaScope youtube channel https://www.youtube.com/@cymascope4986/videos; I highly recommend his 33 minute video “Secrets of Cymatics III: Four postulated laws of cymatics” (2024) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5FaGUIY9_dM ; Pay attention to the numbers shown and spoken –and for the curious, follow up with more info from Reid’s segment in the documentary “The ‘1’ Field” (begin at the ‘tone’ sequence with musician Anders Holte who is on his way to Reid’s lab, at 1hr:03m:11; Reid will show you pictures of his Great Pyramid sarcophagus results and his current use of the ‘EVE’ machine. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CTxJOvzafM0
To bring some cohesion going forward, brave reader, the concept of symmetry as described by a cymatic model is essential undergirding. It is perhaps the ultimate measure of ‘soundness’ for a truthseeker. I’ll be contrasting symmetry with correspondence to make distinctions among the designs and designers, posting first the internet search return when I asked the question: What is the difference between correspondence and symmetry?
Answer: (dictionary grade, edited)
Correspondence: (n.) 1) Friendly intercourse; reciprocal exchange of civilities; especially, intercourse between persons by means of letters… 2) Mutual adaptation, relation, or agreement, of one thing to another; agreement; congruity;… relation.
Symmetry: (n.) 1) A due proportion of the several parts of a body to each other;… the union and conformity of the members of a work to the whole… 2) The law of likeness; similarity of structure; regularity in form and arrangement; orderly and similar distribution of parts… Equality in the number of parts… 3)Likeness in the form and size… of the same kind; regularity [*in conforming to rules and laws—*my addition] https://comparewords.com/correspondence/symmetry#google_vignette
“Sound made visible” with John Reid’s fused-quartz CymaScope seems like a new science– to them maybe– but there’s a strong correspondence to work done in the 1950s by the polio ‘virus hunters’ who learned from their liquid virus specimens “that normal glass caused the viruses to disappear before they could be studied by x-ray or EM; the researchers learned by substituting special fused-quartz ‘optical’ lab glass that they could reconstitute the missing viruses in the particle beams. The question is: Were the so-called viruses ever reallythere in the first place…?” [quoting Earth Salt and Space Crystals]. Are we looking at not only the pleasant frequencies of voices and violins, but possible nano-architecture of new drugs, new ‘viruses’ and machines?—which is the present purpose and funding incentive behind ‘space crystals’. If you check in the article for the full polio &fused-quartz explanation, scroll down to ‘Magic Numbers’ in the field of nano-construction with this question in mind: Are the ‘magic numbers’ actually specific frequencies of sound and light? https://jenniferlake.wordpress.com/2024/01/26/earth-salt-and-space-crystals/Temples of Aesclepius, god of medicine and the raven-child of Apollo and Coronis, appear widespread around the ancient Mediterranean as healing spas of music and bathing. These ‘Aesclepions’ have some of the most acoustically perfect amphitheaters ever built, designed to hold thousands and tens of thousands of people. Do we settle for a story about “healing through drama” in the staging of spectator psychotherapy, or can we recognize the power of sound and symmetry? https://olympia-museum.gr/sanctuary-of-asclepieios/#the-hellenic-baths-purification-and-healing-through-water
Building with light, or 3D photonic laser printing, is another wiz-bang technology that grabbed my attention with a “2PP/two-photon” Eve, shown by Ulrike Granogger in her Future Science commentary series. Is that an apple in her hand?
From the top, foregoing images of Adam and Eve show the earliest illuminating fruit Tree as a date palm (gematria value= 72) and (Agape’s) fig (=22), so the apple (=50) is at best a third, and late, variation. Nonetheless, if you add a fig (22) to an apple (50) you can still get a date palm (=72) which is a cipher from Old Testament Hebrew on the ’72 Names of God.’ But I suggest the Eye of the Needle figure is not Eve but Atalanta, who lost her foot-race in a “suit for marriage” by the ardent Hippomenes when he threw magical golden apples (from Aphrodite’s sacred garden) into her path to slow and distract her. Hippomenes won his ‘prize’ and the race but this is a cautionary tale without symmetry, a race to the bottom—all the humans lose; their humanness, their freedom, and their lives. Such is the case with Frankenstein according to Professor Margaret Russett (USC), describing the dark side of the Enlightenment. “Both Frankenstein and his creature lose everything” (minute5) of “God-like Science? Frankenstein’s Critique of Reason” https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EJQ5x6wNwHY
“The concept of the ‘72 Names of God’ is rooted in Jewish mystical tradition, particularly Kabbalah, and is derived from three verses in the Torah (Exodus 14:19–21)[Exodus=88, 14+19=33]. These names are not “names” in the conventional sense, like the Tetragrammaton,…[but] said to encode divine energies used by Moses to perform the miracle [“Moses stretched out his hand over the sea; and the LORD caused the sea to go back by a strong east wind all that night… and the waters were divided.]” https://medium.com/@lovefoods_54026/72-names-of-god-biblical-origin-of-the-72-names-of-god-82376563c037
There are 27 bones in the human hand, including the carpals of the wrist—a mirror of 72, like the ‘red finger’ fruited date palm (phoenix dactylifera). A pair makes 54, which is also the complete present-day number of titles in the United States Code of law, divided as 27 “positive” and 27 “nonpositive” laws. Interestingly, according to etymology online, the Welsh word for ‘palm’ (as in palm of the hand) is “llaw.” https://www.etymonline.com/word/palm More than a few contemporary Welshmen believe that they, the Welsh known as Cymry, are descendents of ancient Egyptians who came out of Egypt, so to speak, and brought their legacy of Druid mysticism with them. Can we suppose the C-Y-M- that identifies them also composes the roots of cymbal and cymatics? Check the ‘cym-‘ words in your dictionary for the variety of ideas derived from it, such as “waves” and “boat shaped.” Among these early Welsh is a near-secret language of the ‘hand’ alphabet, where a silent conversation can be tapped upon a hand.
The United States Code, or “Statutes at Large,” is the template of permanent U.S. law adopted on June 30, 1926 (6+30+(1+9+2+6=)18), equaling a sum of 54 matching our 27+27 Titles, when most of the legislation to support it did not exist. The Code is having a 100th anniversary this year, a ‘divine child’ number, while the 119th(911) Congress is in session. Stick a fork in that. The newest title is Title47 (=11, or Euclid’s 47th), TELECOMMUNICATIONS, supported by the Digital Equity Act of 2021(funding earmark of$65 billion) https://www.law.cornell.edu/uscode/text/47 designed for a full build-out of the digital society. Included in Title 47 are the protocols for dividing and auctioning off the electromagnetic spectrum, incorporating every r-a-d-i-o (=47) measure passed since 1912, suggesting that the container (Title 47) was prepared far in advance of most of the technology too. https://www.law.cornell.edu/uscode/text/47 –incidentally, the present number of USC titles (54) match the date but not the original 1926 number of 50 titles. The long arm of the ‘llaw’ is still growing and fluid, just not as Thomas Jefferson and other Founders imagined it, where the helping ‘hands’ would be the Ten ‘Bill of Rights’ Articles (plus #11 and 12 procedural amendments) that sustained the advance of state-hood until 1865 (18+65= 9+11). More on the subject is a work-in-progress series (Ocean of Laws, See of Souls). https://uscode.house.gov/download/documents/WhatTheCodeIs.pdf
Foundational developments for nearly all of our telecommunications, high energy physics and materials science emerged from achievements in obtaining x-rays and radium; 1900, founding of the American Roentgen Ray Society (ARRS) https://radiologybusiness.com/topics/professional-associations/radiology-associations/american-roentgen-ray-society-arrs ;1933: initiation of Janeway lectures of the American Radium Society (ARS) “The heraldry of the Janeway Medal is drawn from the Norse Mythology: Odin, the Allfather with power over the precious minerals of the earth… shows Odin standing before the giant Mimir, warden of the well, yielding one of his eyes for a draught of the precious water. The reverse medal presents Odin’s two ravens who spent the day flying throughout the expanse of the universe: Hugin (Thought-Reflection) and Munin (Memory-Remembrance) who returned each evening to perch on Odin’s shoulders and whisper in his ears …” https://www.americanradiumsociety.org/general/custom.asp?page=janewaylectures
I learned Odin’s raven story differently, a reverse in fact– they took flight at night (when ravens are naturally ‘gone’ from the soundscape) and counseled him by day, the way your own ‘intelligencer’ (brain) would work.
Hiraeth – “…[is] a Welsh word that doesn’t have a direct English translation. It’s about a feeling, a longing or yearning for a place, particularly in Wales. It might describe a nostalgic emotion for a place from your past or one that only lives in your imagination… The University of Wales, Lampeter, compares the word to homesickness or sadness forlost culture.” https://medium.com/bupublication/a-rare-welsh-word-hiraeth-2c7f05055371 ; “Hir,” meaning long, is pronounced like the English word hear, rhyming near and dear, and though the etymologists maintain that“aeth”(pronounced with a long ‘I’ as in EYE, and variably spelled ‘aith’) is a notional abstraction, I suggest that it means “aether,” alluding to heaven. https://academia-lab.com/encyclopedia/aether-mythology/ ; pronunciation https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZngpBcn5KT0 . “Hiraeth,” as spelled, makes a magic circle.
An ancient and sacred Welsh-Celtic poem, called The Battle of the Trees (Cad Goddeu), is what first attracted me to Robert Graves’ book The White Goddess, bought long ago and instinctively pulled off the shelf and reread for Corona the Crow. The battle is the cyclical order of the calendar year as each tree comes forward in season– blooming, fruiting, and supporting the web of life wherever it grows. In R.G.’s thesis, the battle order constructs the poetic alphabet of the bards and carries deep religious meaning, understood as “a battle fought intellectually in the head and with the tongues of the learned.” Citing the brilliant but erratic Welsh scholar, Rev. Edward Davies, R.G. shares Davies view that “in all Celtic languages trees means letters,” and by this Tree Alphabet ‘code’ the White Goddess endeavors to reconstruct the poem and reveal the messengers who carried it.
Graves presents the Welsh minstrels who survived the post-Roman incursions (after 410AD) as “descended from the original Welsh master-poets…[who]kept alive an astonishingly ancient literary tradition…in the form of popular tales which preserved fragments…of myth…backas far as the Stone Age.”He warns his readers in the Forward, “that this remains a very difficult book…to be avoided by anyone with a distracted, tired or rigidly scientific mind. I have not cared to leave out any step in the laborious argument…that the language of poetic myth anciently current in the Mediterranean and Northern Europe was a magical language bound up with popular religious ceremonies in honour of the…Muse… and that this remains the language of true poetry—‘true’ in the nostalgic modern sense of ‘the unimprovable original’… [whereas] myths are now studied only as quaint relics of the nursery age of mankind.” [pp9-10, The White Goddess] “The function of poetry is religious invocation of the Muse… The ancient Celts carefully distinguished the poet, who was originally a priest and judge as well, and whose person was sacrosanct from the mere gleeman. He was in Irish called fili, a seer; in Welsh derwydd, or oak-seer, which is the probable derivation of ‘Druid.’ Even kings came under his moral tutelage.” https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_White_Goddess ; http://robertgraves.org/
“Druid” appears to indeed derive from the PIE root ‘deru’ that associates to a chain of subsequent root words meaning ‘forest,’ and I’ll give this Old English example: the word “HOLT” (forest, timber) and suggestively, I’m adding ‘hold’ as in land or on a ship — https://www.etymonline.com/word/holt — look to associated ‘kla’, ‘kel’, ‘kata’and cataclysm: cataclasm(n.) “a breaking asunder, a violent disruption,” 1829, from Latinized form of Greek kataklasm “breakage,” from kata “down” (see cata-) + klan, klaein “to break,” which is perhaps from PIE *kla-, variant of root *kel- “to strike” (see holt), but more likely of uncertain origin [Beekes]. Cataclastic, in geology, in reference to a structural character due to intense crushing, is attested from 1885.”
Cutting, splitting, ‘seeing’(‘scier’) and sawing are various PIE and old Anglo words for science. The addition of kata — breaking, downing and felling—certainly expands the concept, like not seeing the forest beyond the trees. It brings me to the first tree on my head list, “C,” the American Chesnut.
C-E-P-H-A =33
“In 1904, the chestnut blight was accidentally introduced to North America… into the United States from East Asia via import of Japanese chestnut trees. Commercial breeding purposes motivated these imports… Herman W. Merkel, a forester at the New York Zoological Garden (Bronx Zoo) first found infected chestnut trees on the grounds of the zoo… It took about 40 years to devastate the nearly four-billion-strong American chestnut population in North America.” https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chestnut_blight
“Chestnut blight: An American Tragedy” — “If you could custom design the ideal tree species, you couldn’t come up with a better one than American chestnut. It was a huge, majestic tree, with a very straight stem. The wood was nearly ideal… The tree was common. It made up about 50% of most eastern hardwood forests. It grew fast, and would regenerate itself by root sprouts vigorously… In North America, chestnut blight is present in the entire native range of the host and has moved to areas of planted chestnut far from the native range. It is also present in Europe… We will never have chestnut like we did in 1900, at least not in the next few hundred years. But there are some areas of hope for some form of recovery…. [by] Genetic engineering… A major hurdle is regulatory review of planting genetically modified organisms (GMOs, here sometimes called Frankentrees) in the wild. Three agencies are involved, US Department of Agriculture (Animal and Plant Health Inspection Service), US Environmental Protection Agency, and US Food and Drug Administration… https://forestpathology.org/canker/chestnut-blight/
1904 is not an accurate year-date for the introduction of chesnut blight in the Americas, and a Japanese origin for the fungal invader is probably wrong too– the Japanese chesnuts that were brought over for “landscape architecture” in 1876 (and I will get to that) were resistant and survived unharmed, with no evidence of the dread Cryphonectria parasitica. The source country of the fungus was recognized as China sometime around 1905, and within the decade it was already far too late to save the American species. As I write and research this, the story is ballooning under scrutiny. Most of it will have to wait for a sequel! My end-point intention for the American chesnut was to demonstrate how the loss of “chesnut currency” also took down a phenomenon in bird population with the extinction of the American passenger pigeon.
Symmetry shines in this epic of birds and trees, and almost nobody among the officiated is telling it. Perhaps they can’t quite piece it together for reasons unknown and constraining. So, it’s a people’s history, and if the numbers are right, there was a match: a passenger pigeon for every chesnut tree –multiple billions! The range and concentration of each was a match, especially as they were dying out. No bird species on the planet today numbers over 300 million according to experts, but the passengers migrated to and from their primary nesting grounds in flocks of millionsputting billions on the wing. Thinking of it gives me a primeval shiver. Some accounts record that these 60mph flyers flew so close together that they blacked out the sun overhead for hours and even days. “Biblical” is the word.
Naming the last last bird after the first First Lady, Martha Dandridge (Mrs.) Custis ( Mrs.Washington, childless second marriage with George), seems an unlucky omen. The Custis children all died young. John (‘Jacky’) lived long enough to father four ‘survivors’ (one son, three daughters) but died of illness at age 26. The pigeon had no offspring but lived longer than Martha’s . In time, Jacky Custis’s land purchase of 1,100 acres became the inheritance of his granddaughter, Mary Custis, who married General Robert E. Lee. Mr. and Mrs. Lee(=22) lived together at Custis’s Arlington House, later confiscated during the Civil War and permanently federalized as Arlington National Cemetery.
There’s a curious correspondence here with the day and hour of death for Martha the bird, 9-1-1, her age of 29 (all the head bones, and a mirror for 92) and the 9-11 attack on the Pentagon, demonstrated in Corona the Crow Part Two. Across from the Pentagon (=92, or 9+2=11) at the far end of Arlington (=110) Cemetery is a small triangular ‘art’ greenspace called Dark Star(=92, or 11) Park, an arrangement of 5 large cement spheres designed by artist Nancy Holt, a word meaning ‘forest’. Crow #2 decodes the movie Back To The Future, among other things, as the Pentagon’s 9-11 event where the set and scenery present a lettered sign that reads “Holt’s diner,” ana-grammed to “Holt sinder” as a phoneme for the burned out “fallen stars” (and a root word for ‘science’) but able to stand here, in this context, as an ashen forest that was once a feast of ‘mast’ for the birds. The post-9-11 memorial at the Pentagon features “flying benches” to honor the dead staff and passengersthat numbered 184, equaling 92+92, at the Pentagon/Dark Star on that black (=29) day.
“Martha extinction” equals 184.
The bird-brain (=77) version of the hit on five–stars (=119) had flyer 77 (AA77, or 1+1+7+7), a Boeing(=52, or 7) 757(=19), slamming into the Pentagon at 9:37 (9+3+7=19) where it pigeonholed (=110) the building precisely at the ‘recently renovated’ ONI suite: Office of Naval Intelligence (ONI=38, 3+8 or 11). The pilot(=72, or 9) and hijacker(=65, or 11), Hani Hanjour (=119), made a one-of-a-kind 330 degree descending turn toward his target to leave a smoldering 18-foot diameter vent in its wake. Despite the impact explosion and fires in the building, the continuing plumes of blackening smoke on scene all came from construction dumpsters, visible to the travelers and surveillance cameras on highway 27. “State Route 27 (SR 27) is a freeway in Arlington County, Virginia, in the United States, known as Washington Boulevard. It was built during World War II to connect the Pentagon with U.S. Route 50 (US 50) and northern Arlington to the west…” https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Virginia_State_Route_27 ;
27+50=77. “US”=40, so US50=40+50 (4+5), or 9. State=65, or 11, and Route=81, or 9, plus 27, or 9… navy personnel=180, or 9, dumpsters=135, or 9…
Lightpoles went down too. Lightpoles=123. Passengers=123. “Chesnut bird”=123…
Gematria is anancient A.I., as fluid as water. Fluid+water = 119. It works very well as a think tool (think=26, tool=26) in a think tank (=72) with basic math and American English. Gematria for g-e-m-a-t-r-i-a equals 74. Gematria for e-n-g-l-i-s-h equals 74. Thinktank gematria = 9 +11. The practice of assigning numbers to letters is documented from 8 century BCE Greece and was spread during Hellenization of the Mediterranean and Near East. Two languages, Ionic (standardized) Greek and Hebrew, have passed it forward from antiquity.
Columbia, as in the District of Columbia, means “pigeon place,” or “dove place” if you prefer, but science makes no distinction between pigeons and doves. They are all of a columbiform class called columbidae. The differences among these birds are largely behavioral and symbolic, determined by their colony– colon, meaning pigeon or dove as well as your gut.
Less than 6 months after the Frankenstein rehearsals, on April 20 1999, Dylan Klebold and Eric Harris launched a barrage of death and mayhem against their schoolmates, allegedly killing 13 and wounding 20, including a teacher (=33). Even now, more than 25 years later, people are still trying to piece together what really happened from the multitude of fragmentary evidence left behind. The only seemingly consistent fact that applies across the terrain is 9-1-1 code –the story is creepy-crawling with it— beginning with the shooters’ birthdays. I only intend a small sample here because it raises a lot of questions beyond the scope of this post.
Eric Harris was born April 9, 1981, and turned 18 (=9) just 11 days before the shooting. Dylan Klebold was born on September 11, 1981, which made them 155 (=11) days apart in age. Year 1981= 1+9+8+1=19. April 9 is the 99(=18, or 9) day of the year. September 11 is the 254 (=11) day of the year. The number ‘20’ of course, Columbine’s doomsday, implicitly holds 9+11 together with 1999. April 20 is the 110 day of the year, and the mayhem began just minutes after 11 o’clock in the morning. Individuals unknown, who may have had a role in the destruction on that day, were first observed at the school payphone (=100) at 9am, wearing the ‘trenchcoat’ garb that came to describe several others thought to be involved.
The first responder on the scene, excepting police, was the fire and rescue company of Engine 11. Engine 11 can be seen in aerial footage near the ‘west’ alcove entrance where the cafeteria (ground floor) and library (second floor) are located. Most of the shooting took place in this corner of the building, where the greatest concentration of the 1800 student-body gathered over lunch hour. Strange things happened there with Engine 11, said to have been commandeered by the SWAT team to provide them with cover. Footage clearly shows that the men dragged two bodies from the alcove, moved the bodies around, and then repositioned them near the sidewalk where fleeing students later passed closely as they ran out. Good luck with finding a continuous clip of Engine 11 activity. I’ve seen it before as a continuous action video, years ago, but these two out-of-sequence clips still show the movement of bodies. “Part 4” (2 bodies dragged out of recessed entry and placed near/on firetruck) 5 minutes – https://www.gettyimages.com/detail/video/view-from-helicopter-aerial-view-of-school-police-take-news-footage/654676724 ; “Part 7”, students are made to run by the 2 ‘dead’ bodies https://www.gettyimages.in/detail/video/view-from-helicopter-people-evacuated-from-school-running-news-footage/654679734?adppopup=true ; possibly better image quality of the body drag here https://archive.org/details/ColumbineRaw4 . Engine 11 was subsequently returned to the firemen working triage and the vehicle and crew finally left the premises at 9pm.
Closing the circle for Columbine is people’s history. Do youknow the story? Would you tell it to your children and grandchildren? Within days of April 20, 1999 foundations for truth were coming forward, with most to be quashed. However, one extraordinary individual who picked it up at the beginning compiled a legacy of evidence that rings through the distortion and denial. As a whole, it is standing the test of time— symmetry. Listen.

20 days before Columbine, on March 31, 1999, The Matrix opened in wide release
[I=Interviewer, H=Michael A. Hoffman II]
I: “Yesterday in your HOFFMAN WIRE column you cited the Hollywood film ‘The Matrix’ as part of the processing that leads to tragedies like the massacre at Columbine. Would you elaborate?
H: “On April 21, on one of the morning TV news shows, while the massacre in Colorado was being analyzed, a film clip from the movie “The Matrix” was broadcast showing star Keanu Reeves dressed in a black Trench Coat firing two automatic pistols and engaged in an assault on a SWAT Team. I don’t scan TV around the clock, but I noticed that, soon after, the Matrix film was no longer being used as the chief reference point for the Colorado school shootings and instead the networks had substituted the movie “Natural Born Killers,” (NBK). NBK is their favorite whipping boy since NBK goes after the jaded news media and its exploitation of violence. The movie “Matrix” features a pyrotechnic ballet of extreme violence, filmed with the lushness of a porno flick–gunmen taking on a SWAT team, toting bomb-filled duffel bags. There are a lot of parallels to what happened at Columbine High. The news media tipped the public off on the connection to the Columbine High massacre in one quick segment on Matrix–just enough to fulfill the Revelation of the Method and then they buried it and diverted attention away from it…
But this is the Revelation of the Method era, as outlined in my book. This is the time when they show us what they’re doing to us. Matrix is a textbook case of this. Take your kids to that film and they’ll have a virus implanted in them. The System doesn’t need MKUltra anymore. The media culture itself is now so far gone it functions like MKUltra. True, most kids will not “go Postal.” But certain attuned ones will and that’s all the System needs. It’s all about brutalization and desensitization. Ask any soldier what happens on the killing fields. You are brutalized. Violence becomes an exercise, like walking the dog. Shakespeare said, “Tis not good that children should see any wicked thing,” but modern youth see such things every day, sometimes every hour or even every minute. We have a nation of brutalized children; brutalized by public schools, video games, sick movies and parents who don’t have the gumption to separate their kids from the whole toxic cloud because they themselves are addicted to it or are making a profit off it. Therefore, they will pay the Videodrome piper, like the folks in Littleton, Colorado did.” https://www.revisionisthistory.org/matrix.html
I liked The Matrix a lot –the first run of the first movie—and like it still as a stand-alone set piece. The quasi-religious overtones and gratuitous violence become acceptable story elements inside The One protagonist’s mind; watched over by Trinity (tri-part brain, Mother goddess and partner) inviting the digital but fractured doubting Thomas (twin) seeking Morpheus (the god of dreams) to embrace the un-natural so-called (as in tele-phoning) realworld to gain a co-existing mastery, wholeness, within and beyond the Matrix. Sequels?—forget about it. You’re the sequel.
Neo’s last callhttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=n4Jww3WWHjo . It wasn’t for years, and the notice of others, that I learned about the sinister embeds like Neo’s ‘id’ card with an upside-down 9-11-2001, his birthday and license expiration.
Science fiction author, Philip Kindred Dick (1928-1982) spoke prophetically about his experience with “the matrix” in 1977: listen to this fascinating description that includes the “déjà vu” glitch as a shift of the program (“orthogonal” break in the timeline) and other elements reminiscent of the Wachowskis’ film . PKD speech in Metz, France 1977 (video), edited to remove translator, and unfortunately cut off after 40minutes. (Minute 16-17)”…We are living in a computer programmed reality, and the only clue we have to it is when some variable is changed and some alteration…occurs…” https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DQbYiXyRZjM
Philip Dick died on March 2, 1982 following a stroke that caused coma, while alone at home. He was found about 12 hours later, taken and hospitalized on life support, according to friends, until they pulled the plug on him after a week. He had, apparently, been experiencing the first worldly material success of his life—the movie creation of a story we know as Blade Runner—and he was making plans. Three more of his stories were in the Hollywood pipeline, optioned by major filmmakers. On October 11 of ’81, after months of being kept in the dark about the Blade Runner project, he sent a letter to the studio exuding praise for a public preview shown on TV as an upcoming feature. He wrote about it as a new genre of futurism. Here’s the letter: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZCW8jDoj-a8 .
Less than five months later Philip Dick was dead, buried next to his ‘lost’ twin sister who died in infancy and stayed on his mind from earliest memories. Over the years, he had told interviewers at one time and another that an entity he called Thomas communicated with him as a feminine presence, beginning in high school and ending in 1974 when another more powerful presence “invaded” his mind. What PKD did or did not say in 1977 Metz, or what was not shown, seems to be refreshed in a May 17 1979 recording by interviewer Charles Platt. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZCW8jDoj-a8 ; pick up at 1hour26min:
“My outlook is based on, not on faith, but the actual encounter I had in ’74 with a mysterious, powerful, rational Mind which was unfathomable to me as to what it was, or what it called itself… [Q: ‘When you say an encounter, was this a hallucination, a vision, or something?’](PKD) It was an invasion of my mind by a transcendentally rational mind…This was a rational mind that was not a human rational mind– it was more like an artificial intelligence… The first thing it informed me [about] was to be wary of heavy metals… It had memories dating back over 2000 years. It spoke Greek. It spoke Hebrew. It spoke Sanskrit. There wasn’t anything that it didn’t seem to know. It immediately set about putting my affairs in order. It fired my agent. It fired my publisher. [laughing]. It was very practical… very intelligent. It had a firm and shrewd grasp of business matters… and it had one very over-weaning concern, [and] this was in March of ’74. It informed me that a group of conspirators had murdered the Kennedys, Dr. King, and Bishop [James A.] Pike –that it, the Mind that had taken me over, had seen the conspirators. The Mind then graphically represented itself as the ‘command’ Sibyl, the Sibyl of Cumae…[who] advised the Roman Republic when it was in danger. She had the so-called Sibylline books…[and] well now I’ve let it out of the bag– She was female… She said the Republic was in danger, she meant the American Republic…[and] once again, the Empire threatened to take over. She was there to see that the Empire was destroyed. I shouldn’t be saying this… She caused me to see periods in history in which the Empire had been defeated…She said…the situation now in the United States…[was] that the republic was turning into an Empire and she said that they shall be destroyed because they are murderers. She then dictated a series of letters…[that were mailed]… She also said that she would stay on as my tutelary spirit…
“[Q: ‘Do you recognize the possibility, however remote, that you could have in some way been talking to yourself, that in some way you could have known everything that she knew?‘] (PKD) Yes. It could have been a dialogue between the two hemispheres of my brain…. yes, she could have been inside my head. [Q: ‘But you prefer not to believe it?‘] (PKD) Um, this was suggested to me… but there’s one thing that happened….that she interfered with something causal in my environment and she was actually present…. and it might have been a projection from my own mind… but she was armed with ferocious knowledge, and she was so shrewd, and she continued [to be there]…and she showed me the Sibylline books…” https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sibylline_Books
“Today [2009], even as Dick’s literary legend grows, his connection to Orange County remains obscure. Though he often is thought of as a Northern California writer, he lived his final decade in Fullerton and Santa Ana and wrote several of his most important books—‘A Scanner Darkly,’[pub.1977] “VALIS,” and “The Transmigration of Timothy Archer”—during his time here. And Orange County was the place where Dick in [Feb-Mar, or 2-3]1974 experienced the transcendental visions that, depending on your degree of open-mindedness, either gave him a secret glimpse of a universe with multiple realities and the nonlinear impermanence of time, or shoved him out on the crumbly precipice of sanity.… In Hollywood, Dick has become an industry. Nine of his novels and stories have been made into films that collectively grossed more than $1 billion worldwide, including the 2002 Tom Cruise-Steven Spielberg hit “Minority Report”… Many others are in the works, including projects involving big name [moviestars]… And Dick again is in the news, thanks to a legal struggle that has developed over the profits from his literary legacy…
“In February 1974, after being given anesthesia for dental work, Dick returned home and began experiencing bizarre visions—a rectangle of pink light on his bedroom wall containing writing in a strange language he could not read, along with mathematical equations. He heard voices, and was visited by strange beings who ‘looked almost human, but they had large heads, small noses, small chins and mere slits for mouths,’ as [#5 ex-wife] Tessa later recalled in a self-published memoir, ‘The Dim Reflection of Philip K. Dick.’ Instead of abducting him, the alien visitors used holograms to turn Dick’s apartment into a classroom, where they taught him a secret theory of existence. Dick only explained parts of it to Tessa: The past wasn’t immutable; to the contrary, someone was in the process of changing history. And neither was it linear; somehow, Dick simultaneously existed in the present and in ancient Rome. Neither was the physical world solid and stable… Dick would ponder his “2-3-74” experience, as he came to call it, for the rest of his life, and it eventually would help inspire his 1981 novel “VALIS,” a mind-bending synthesis of science fiction and the mysteries of Gnosticism and Christian theology, in which mystical revelations are beamed by laser from an orbiting satellite.
“‘He was his own skeptic, always ready to dismiss and deride his theories when he saw flaws in them,’ [friend Tim] Powers says. ‘One day he’d think it had been God talking to him. The next day, he’d say it was just acid flashbacks. The day after that, he’d decide it was psychosis, or some sort of secret Soviet telepathy experiment. But he kept coming back to the idea that it was God.’ He pauses. ‘I’d put money on it that it was God who spoke to him, crazy as it seems… Or maybe it’s just a better story that way.’… In February 1982—a few months before the release of “Blade Runner,” the Harrison Ford movie that would introduce Dick to mainstream audiences—he suffered a major stroke at his condo, dying on March 2 at age 53. The facts of his demise have not been universally accepted…” https://arthurmag.com/2009/07/02/philip-k-dick-the-orange-county-years/
It would be easy to slip down the rabbit hole here and unearth more elements of PKD’s own life that appear mirrored in The Matrix, even in substance of fine detail. The movie’s “simulacra” moment pictured above is a case in point: a transaction of “2 grand” is taking place for a desired piece of Neo’s homemade software, hidden in the “book”. He gets the message from this deal to “follow” it for a further desired contact. PKD made his first Hollywood sale of a novel for 2 grand, the story that became Blade Runner, and as it was, especially then in 1967, unpredictable in outcome for his future.
In 1963, among five novels written that year, Philip Dick wrote his own “Simulacra.” The reviewer liked it. Give him a moment: The Simulacra: “The novel is set in a post-apocalyptic future, decades after China attacked the U.S… with atomic warheads. This gave rise to a population of mutants, similar in appearance to Neanderthals. People ride in self-driving cars. Ads are living creatures that can invade your home and car and must be killed [before they infect you with their products]…The Sons of Job are a neo-fascist political party. People live in giant communal apartment complexes and are required to take civics tests to stay in them. Many people want to escape this totalitarian society by immigrating to Mars. People buy android nuclear families just to have normal friends… The Simulacra pictures future America where psychic abilities are accepted as real, that time travel has been perfected, where people and animals can be artificially created and the results indistinguishable from real people and animals, that colonies exist on Mars and the Moon, and alien lifeforms can be commercialized. In other words, all the crap ideas that science fiction fans and fans of the occult…thought possible, became possible.” https://classicsofsciencefiction.com/2024/01/05/the-simulacra-by-philip-k-dick/
Piecing together Philip K Dick has to include his hometown of Berkeley California, where he entered high school just as the attack on Pearl Harbor put the entire region into full tiltwar mode. “Berkeley is home to the oldest campus in the University of California, [UCB], and the Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory, which is managed and operated by the university. It also has the Graduate Theological Union, one of the largest religious studies institutions in the world. Berkeley is considered one of the most socially progressive cities in the United States…” https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Berkeley,_California ; The University of California, as a network that included its satellite schools and private contractors like Bechtel-McCone, also contracted with the Army Corps of Engineers in 1943 to run the operations of the Manhattan Project, the MED, from Los Alamos near Santa Fe New Mexico. Operating the LBNL and the LANL brought two major nuclear laboratories under the wartime wing of UC Regents, where they were to stay under management at the least until 2018. The MED, conceived and organized out of Columbia University in New York City, tapped Colonel Leslie R. Groves to run the logistics. Operation “ALSOS,” the atomic spy-counter-spy program under Groves, is not an acronym, rather a Greek appellation for “groves,” as in trees. Col. Groves’ achievement as an ACE to that point had been oversight of building the Pentagon from its first day of construction on September 11, 1941.
Exactly 18 years after the Pentagon’s birthday, on September 11, 1959 (=44), Lee Harvey Oswald left the El Toro MCAS ( Marine Corps Air Station) in Santa Ana (south of Los Angeles) on a special early discharge to take a bus ride home to Fort Worth Texas. Seven (=65/6+5=11) days later on the 18th, however, he was waiting in a New Orleans hotel with a ticket to steam across the Atlantic, purchased through the International Trade Mart (‘World Trade Center’) Travel Consultants Inc., where former Army Major Clay Shaw was Directing Manager (and cofounder according to sources). Oswald was all of 19 years old and would see his next birthday a month later, on October 18, in Moscow. Clay Shaw equals 92, like Pentagon and Dark Star.
Why did Oswald ride from Fort Worth to New Orleans (=126, or 9) to catch a ship to Europe when the ports of Houston and Galveston were closer and easier? Adding up the cluster of intelligence alphabets that oversaw him in the summer of 1963, in fact going back to his active duty in Atsugi (=77) seems like an answer. CIA=13, FBI=17, ONI=38, and AEC=9 –Atomic Energy Commission—makes this equation: 13+17+38+9=77. Architecture. The AEC(=9) used the ONI(=11) as its reservoir of security personnel. Atsugi + Japan =119. We know today that Atsugi was a forward nuclear base, in violation of the terms of occupation with the Japanese. “Godzilla” was their movie in response.
The “other Pentagon,” which was probably unknown to the general public in the ‘50s and ‘60s, is the underground bunker at Raven Rock (Site R, 77degree longitude), Adams County, PA. The U.S. government took 1,100 acres from the locals to build it during the Korean War, mirroring in land what it took in the Civil War for Arlington. https://nationalinterest.org/blog/buzz/what-to-know-about-raven-rock-us-governments-doomsday-bunker-ps-111125 ; this brief article on Raven Rock, advertising a new show in simulation of it, was posted on Nov 11, 2025 (11-11-2025/9). The dating makes 9-11 forwards and backwards: November means ‘9’ so the date can also be read as 9-11-9.

God’s Meridian 77 West
“Observers will note that this is the longitude, to a high degree of precision, of the capitol city of the United States, Washington D.C. There is even a ‘meridian hill’ in Washington that marks out the precise location of 77…placed there by the architect…Pierre Charles L’Enfant. It is also the longitude of the first English settlements in North America. This, we do not think, is a coincidence… To any Christian believer, this tract of land would truly have been viewed as ‘sacred.’ As the only place in the world where the true Equinox could have been observed, the holders of this precious parcel could truly claim to possess ‘the Promised Land.’ …Elizabeth (=88) [the first] (and her successor King James I), promptly launched a secret campaign to wrest control of this crucial longitude in the New World… When [John] Dee decoded the Anni-Domini calendar, it must have confirmed to the School of Night that which they already suspected: that America was the special place that the antiquarian legends spoke of. What is certain is that immediately after Dee’s calendar work was published, he and Raleigh began to do what was necessary for England (and by extension, their secret society) to establish a beachhead in America. By April 1585, after nearly three years of preparation, the first serious expedition to colonize America was launched under the guidance of John White and Thomas Harriot… From their landing spot at Roanoke Island, Virginia, Harriot and White were in a perfect position to survey the land and the stars… ” http://rumormillnews.com/cgi-bin/archive.cgi?read=6279

This NSA lecture document on John Dee, by Leslie A. Rutledge, was released from classified status and provided for publication on November 11, 2011 (11-11-11); … “[Dee] was, all by himself, a Rand Corporation for the Tudor government of Elizabeth… He based his career soundly in mathematics. He achieved fame in this field through exemplary [and politically shrewd] tactics. Having taken the MA at Cambridge, he went abroad for graduate study… He tutored ambassadors’ sons and developed other contacts useful to a government career. After two years in Louvain, he came to the University of Paris. With 4000 students from all over Europe, it was the cockpit of the European academic world—the Berkeley of his day… On returning to England…[Dee] wrote briefings on cosmology and geology for the use of young King Edward VI and was retained in the government… [But] Alas, this young king died and was succeeded by Queen Mary. Bloody Mary…who had [begun] executing Dee’s friends. Dee fell victim to a two-year McCarthy period… It was charged that a man who knew so much must have got that way through abominable converse with infernal powers…” https://www.nsa.gov/portals/75/documents/news-features/declassified-documents/tech-journals/john-dee.pdf ; Dee, nevertheless, had been cultivating “flowery” correspondence, flowers allude to magic, with Princess Elizabeth and “continued to play Madame Blavatsky to most of the important people in England.” In short, Dee was to organize the secret intelligence of Elizabeth’s administration, from her privateering navy to the players and playwrights of the stage. “But of his actual government service, we know very little. He went from time to time to Europe…[and it] was during one of these trips that he made his principal contribution to cryptography.” [p5 of 16, ibid.] Dee surreptitiously copied a key treatise on magical theory (Steganographia) replete with formulations of code and curious “angelic language,” developed by a 15th century mystic who called himself Trithemius.
In the video link below (1hr13min), scholar Justin Sledge calls Trithemius (aka Johannes Heidenberg,b.1462) the Father of Cryptography :“How Angel Magic Gave Us the Internet – The Steganographia of Trithemius,” https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Vq96NDOB0xs (channel ESOTERICA) The first 32 minutes seem like useful information, and therefore good to know, but after that it’s a fast ride down the slippery slope of the Matrix again. H.P. Lovecraft tapped into this demonological corpus for his Weird Tales (i.e.,citing Trithemius), and Philip Dick, too, pondered the notable occultists of the era (students of Trithemius such as Agrippa and Paracelcus, e.g.), wondering if it was they who invaded his mind for “teaching” purposes. John Dee, surely, was a master of the realpolitik of his day, exploiting popular English notions of “buried treasure” on the ears of his impoverished sovereigns. Perhaps Dee was the ultimate purveyor of “God’s Meridian” –his legacy attests to the role of spiritual father of the British Empire. Curious correspondences abound there, along route 77.
The towns of Palmyra, Manchester, and Fayette New York on the 77: Mormon lore holds that HillCumorah was the site of Joseph Smith’s visitation by the Angel Moroni, a tutelary spirit that instructed him for 3- 4 years before releasing the “golden plates” buried there. The golden plates were inscribed with an indecipherable script that Smith ‘translated’ into The Book of Mormon. Cumorah, accordingly, was the scene of a last great “battle of extinction” where 200,000 people of warring nations fought themselves to death (Nephite v. Jaredite), and now long-owned by the LDS Church. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cumorah The region generally is known as the upper Finger Lakes. Just to the north is Lake O-n-t-a-r-i-o (=72), under the hand of Ontario province, where the small city of Cobourg sits on the north shore. Cobourg was named for the Saxe-Coburgs, a native branch of whom (Coburg-Gotha) gave princely and life-long protection to Adam Weishaupt after his **lightning strike exposure as an Illuminist. Next to Cobourg Ontario, on its west side, lies Port Hope, the former industrial processor of Canada’s bounty in the radium and uranium trade, begun in 1931. 1+9+3+1=14=7+7, hmm?? Farther north, the 77 runs a long line through western Quebec.
** Johann Jakob Lanz, aka Lanze, who was meeting with Weishaupt on a courier’s errand, was struck dead by lightning in Regensburg while carrying a members list of the Illuminati on his person. The date given is July 20, 1787. https://www.regensburger-touristen-guide.de/en,bauwerke,4,adam_weishaupt_engelburger_gasse/; It occurred to me that the name “Adam Lanza” was an amalgam of the two Perfectiblists, Adam Weishaupt and Johann Lanz. Adam (=19) Lanza (=54). In my own pragmatic ‘number’ theory (versus mystical-magical theory) the meaning of this combination, 19 +54, is a statement declaring a “forever change of the law” to our form of government, that being also the purpose of Weishaupt? https://jenniferlake.wordpress.com/2024/05/20/illuminati-reader-part-1-webster-on-weishaupt/
July 20 is an anniversary preceding Sandy Hook by 146 days as a mass shooting inside the Century 16 (Golden “Age of Discovery”) cinema in Aurora Colorado during the midnight special movie premiere of “The Dark Knight Rises.” Consider the literary origin of this movie title: “The Dark Night of the Soul (Spanish: La noche oscura del alma) is a phase of passive purification in the mystical development of the individual’s spirit, according to the 16th-century Spanish mystic and Catholic poet St. John of the Cross. John describes the concept in his treatise Dark Night (Noche Oscura), a commentary on his poem…” https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dark_Night_of_the_Soul
Southward on the 77 is a string of storied cities and towns that have their own mixed-reality tales: Corning NY, aka “The Crystal City” of glass-maker fame, including light bulbs for Edison, fused quartz lab glass, optical fiber and ‘life science’ genetic materials– https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Corning_Inc. In 2011, Corning acquired a 6.5 (=11) share in the Israeli tech Mobile Access Networks (distributed antenna systems) to partner its telecom holdings with MAN. Corning also commands a 77-placed industrial unit in Wilmington North Carolina (Cape Fear) ; Elmira NY, where ‘writer’ Jane Roberts became a regular spirit-channel for an entity called Seth (video link) in 1963– https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ejH4G4I52tQ Continuing into Pennsylvania down the Susquehanna River which flows to Harrisburg and passes the infamous Three Mile Island reactors, the meridian maintains its line toward Raven Rock and crosses into Maryland. Of note south of Washington DC is Culpeper Virginia, host to a Federal Reserve bunker and an unusual, stowed-away cache of secret documents from an undeclared intelligence outfit known as The Pond (see the Blog Index for Lewis Strauss and JFK). The line cuts through Richmond, Sussex, and Courtland—Courtland being the smallest but most accurately situated on the 77 map, the town was formerly named Jerusalem. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Courtland%2C_Virginia. The line passes through North Carolina and goes offshore near the border of South Carolina at New Bern, the post-Revolution capitol of North Carolina for 22 years (1770-1792) until the State moved its headquarters to Raleigh. Offshore, the 77 clips the eastern Bermuda Triangle, beelines for the Bahamas, Cuba and Jamaica before it lands in Colombia near the Panama isthmus.

David Talbott has a thing; a ponderous, pendulous preoccupation with goddess figurines. As the founder and “muse in chief” of the Thunderbolts Project that’s reimagining our solar system in an Electric Universe, he suggested in 2017 that the ‘venuses’ were, to his mind, representations of gathered planets—our planets—in an age of catastrophic interactions. Somewhere, he believes, in the body of whirled mythology and human memory is a lost history that, if recovered, might provide a “unified theory of myth.” I took notice of Talbott’s similar reference to goddess figurines in a 2012 lecture called “Seeking the Third Story” and sought out more elaboration from newer works. The thing, however, seems not to have advanced by 2017, but he is more specific with the Rotund Goddess idea. And before I quote him, I’ll say that I admire this man and hold his hope that a unified theory is possible.
[minute 17]
“…There are no chronicles –there’s evidence– there’s archeological evidence, there’s pictures carved on stone, but there is no reference historically, no reference archeologically, to give you a fixed marker except dating processes that are themselves subject to a great deal of criticism. But we’re talking before the birth of the first civilizations. [screen image] A very familiar form: the Rotund Goddess. I’ve picked up dates suggested around 3,500 BC [and] pay little attention to variations in dating—I’m just personally satisfied that we’re going to be going through a period of confusion as to how you find reliable…dating. But this goddess figure, it caught my attention… there’s something compelling, and because I was moving into a sense of planetary upheaval, I couldn’t get away from the idea…that this Rotund Goddess figure was actually an earlier, or signified an earlier, phase of planetary alignments, or gathering in the sky…” https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JPN9Cr3km_U
From here, firstly, I’m going to reconstruct a “brain” presentation that I used for a talk, showing the goddess figurines as anatomicalbrains that share sets of features across a wide swath of time-bound, geographic, and cultural differences. In general, the older specimens, like the Venus of Willendorf in Talbott’s talk (said to be 30,000 years old), appear to be gross anatomy bird brains, but as the dating moves forward into recognizable civilizations, and the range of figurine finds increases over continents, special features like “twins” appear, and may be the brains of humans and other species. The inspiration to follow this topic came during Corona down-time with a fresh-eyed look at the landscape “brain” in the core of Washington D.C., our congress of crows, and since incorporated into Corona the Crow (part three), the goddess within made more visible with my scribbly outline in the recent post Ocean of Laws, See of Souls (part one). https://jenniferlake.wordpress.com/2023/01/02/corona-the-crow-part-three/
Prehistoric goddess figurines, either photographed or catalogued, are said to number about 200 samples in all with very few of one type available for comparison to other types. It’s in the aggregate of samples and quantity of references to known objects –brain graphs mostly– that permits a remarkable influence from unknown cultures to communicate across time, and perhaps they have always done so, seen in the context of continuous development.
In the montage above, the oldest ‘venus’ is the headless 2-angle view Venus of Hohle Fels, lower left, at 42,000 years old. Willendorf, center in hand, is next at 30,000 y-o, and Venus of Lespugue at c.25,000 y-o, matching the top left cone-headed Venus of Savignano for age. The top right museum piece has bird characteristics but obvious damage where it counts, found without any reference to age and origin. The ‘one-off’ in this group is top center, by far the youngest from Egyptian Bronze Age (3,500 BC) and most comparable to other Egyptian figurines displaying a cultural type.

These delightful venus figurines originate from the island of Cyprus where it seems to have been a cottage industry at the end of the Bronze Age—latecomers all, the group on the left speaksloud and clear to the concept of the bird brain within. In particular, a mother and ‘baby’ at the place of the pineal gland inspires me to think ‘mother of invention and child of imagination.’ The Madonna display also suggests to me that the religious transition taking place was one of a personal god, perhaps thousands of years in the making. The two-headed twin may or may not be a product of the same culture –found in Syria—but having the distinct characteristic of mammals with a diencephalon thalamus.
There is one more general category I can use to describe the brain figurines and this one is out of the ‘bird’ box, humanoid, resistant to timestamping, and controversial as to being substantially human-made. Among the last of this kind, perhaps, are the distinctively humanoid figurines found at Gobekli and Karahan tepes. I’m unable to distinguish bird features in these except for the twin on the right with the ‘owl’ faces.
The Moroccan Venus of Tan Tan, found in an ancient river bank at 40 foot depth, is shown on the upper left as two distinctly separate views, separately sourced; the greenish blob ‘front’ from Wikipedia and the stone artifact ‘rear’ (?) from the University of Chicago (with a centimeter gauge indicating a height of less than 3 inches.) Tan Tan is notable for its possible age of 300,000 to 500,000 years old. My eyes tell me obviously that the front-and-back (or two front) photos are not of the same object, nevertheless they still have features of brain matter that refer to several species of figurines that entirely slip the category of goddesses. Neither Gobekli tepe (photo 3) nor Karahan tepe (photo 4) have shown anygoddess figures that I can find – they’re dominantly ‘male’ or genderless– but intriguingly continue to contribute to my bird-brain theory of the figurines.
Revisiting this subject today, and dropping the goddess language for the search as contemporary archaeologists do, opens a flood of new information and specimens. In the last few years, hundreds of images and resources have been published to the web. A hundred thousand or more figurines have been documented and described from the Mediterranean region alone. One tiny item in particular, found on the surface of Gobekli Tepe in 2017 (shown below near actual size), is inspiring a new thought about these objects as a kind of coin-of-the-realm, after a fashion, analogous to old Roman coins littering the grounds of ancient settlements wherever the Legions encamped.
Even the Paleolithic ancestors of Tepe culture may have used their mammoth ivory ‘birds’ as chits –payments, passports, and messengers– but further elaboration will have to wait for another day as more of them come to light.
Mammoth ivory bird goddess, new find in 2017, image source: http://archaeofeed.com/2017/04/a-23000-year-old-venus-figurine-found/ — “A 5-centimetre high Palaeolithic Venus figurine was discovered at the Khotylyovo-2 site in Bryansk Oblast, Russian Federation. Radiocarbon analysis suggests tribes of hunters and gatherers lived there between 21000-24000 years ago.”
Among the paleolithic hunter-gatherers of 20,000+ years ago is another type of figurine — the simple and skinny type. All but one (3rd photo from left) were found at settlement ruins near Lake Baikal called Mal’ta (or Mal’ta-Buret). My first impression about these ‘brains’ was to associate them with fish, but in a greater continuity with type, I see them just as likely to be representations of mammalianfetal brains in the first weeks of life. Note the shapes of the developing human brain at 4 and 5 weeks.
The 28-figurine composite image is borrowed from the net but more than half of them bear the characteristics of the embryonic serpentine brain, common to all vertebrates and even visible to the naked eye growing on the yolk of a bird egg.
Image composite of paleolithic mammoth ivory figurines from Siberia
Stone Age hunter-gatherers had an apparently sophisticated understanding of embryonic brain development, displaying stages of growth over time as well as mature ‘final’ features (i.e. ‘hood’, ‘arms’) — perhaps artistic flourish defining and identifying the species type. Hooded heads and cabled arms on brain figurines seem to always refer to mammals if one goes by anatomical correctness (showing the corpus callosum and optic nerve tract, respectively).
It’s the optic tract mid-brain cables (with pretectum and superior colliculus attached), as in the brain graph, that convinced me of the DC Capitol Hill SOG (Seat of Government) depicting a brain –appropos!
Among my favorite SOG-brain comparisons is an actual royal costume worn by England’s Elizabeth I. Her skirt pattern and even her jewelry corresponds to this textbook graph.

The 8,000 yr-old ‘Mother Goddess’ and her leopards, shown front (l) and back (c), suggests a hybrid bird motif to me—made by flipping over a bird brain so her ‘front’ displays the inward/underside of the brain. See the corresponding raven’s brain, below.
“The Eye of Ra or Eye of Re, usually depicted as sun disk or right wedjat-eye (paired with the Eye of Horus, left wedjat-eye), is an entity in ancient Egyptian mythology that functions as an extension of the sun god Ra‘s power, equated with the disk of the sun, but it often behaves as an independent goddess, a feminine counterpart to Ra and a violent force that subdues his enemies. This goddess, also known with the theonym Wedjat, can be equated with several particular deities, including Hathor, Sekhmet, Bastet, Raet-Tawy, Menhit, Tefnut, and Mut. The eye goddess acts as mother, sibling, consort, and daughter of the sun god. She is his partner in the creative cycle… The eye’s violent aspect defends Ra against the agents of disorder that threaten his rule. This dangerous aspect of the eye goddess is often represented by a lioness or by the uraeus, or cobra, a symbol of protection and royal authority. The disastrous fury and rampages of the eye goddess and the efforts of the gods to appease her are a prominent motif in Egyptian mythology.” https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Eye_of_Ra
We’re in Thunderbolts territory now. Hopefully I’ve guided my Bird here with success and the real experts can takeover a narrative. I believe, as David Talbott and his colleagues believe, that human witnesses recorded their experiences with an accuracy equal to their understanding and ability. According to Ev Cochrane, The Eye is Venus; Ra’s counterpart Hathor/Sekhmet is Venus –once a blinding and terrible comet that rained fire, stone, ash and death over the earth on her way to a new home near the sun, our Sun and not the other (Saturn).
The oldest Norwegian petroglyphs were made by the indigenous Sami who still hold territory in former Lapland (Finnmark) and may have migrated there over land from Siberia (using sledges and sleds) many thousands of years earlier. The design content of similar sites is full of antlered deer/elk, odd stick-men, ‘sun crosses’ and boxy hash markings. These reindeer herding people could be imagining their own ancient exodus from peril and not that of the Raven-bearing sea folk who brought “Thought” and “Memory” –Odin’s ravens—into our western cultural lore. Their language is derived from the Uralic group. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Uralic_languages; rare antique photos of nordic Sami https://www.vintag.es/2016/02/40-rare-and-interesting-photos-of.html
I have one astronomical detail to add at present:“Corvus is a small constellation in the Southern Celestial Hemisphere. Its name means “crow” in Latin… In the Babylonian star catalogues dating from at least 1100 BCE, what later became known as Corvus was called the Raven (MUL.UGA.MUSHEN). As with more familiar Classical astronomy, it was placed sitting on the tail of the Serpent (Greek Hydra). The Babylonian constellation was sacred to Adad, the god of rain and storm; in the second Millennium BCE it would have risen just before the autumnal rainy season… Corvus is associated with the myth of Apollo and his lover Coronis the Lapith… Two established meteor showers originate from within Corvus’ boundaries. German astronomer Cuno Hoffmeister discovered and named the Corvids in 1937, after observing them between June 25 and July 2… The shower has been tentatively linked with [comet/asteroid] 4015 Wilson–Harrington.[76] In January 2013, the MO Video Meteor Network published the discovery of the Eta Corvids, assigning some 300 meteors seen between January 20 and 26.[77] Their existence was confirmed by data analysis later that year… In Action Comics #14 (January 2013), which was published 7 November 2012, astrophysicist Neil deGrasse Tyson appears in the story, in which he determines that Superman‘s home planet, Krypton, orbited the red dwarf LHS 2520 in the constellation Corvus, 27.1 light-years from Earth. Tyson assisted DC Comics in selecting a real-life star that would be an appropriate parent star to Krypton, and picked the star in Corvus,[80][81] the mascot of Superman’s high school, the Smallville Crows.” https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Corvus_(constellation)
Part 2 deals with language in the hope that you can acquire some immediate benefits in everyday situations in accord with your inalienable rights. The Law requires you to know and apply it because “Ignorance of the law is no excuse.” What you say to law enforcers, and likewise they to you, can make all the difference in a challenge.
The learning resources for Part 2 are based on videos from https://thedisclosurehub.com , and will be detailed further in the post as a matter of study and knowledge. So, without further ado, here are links for two recorded live-action incidents recently committed in Vermont, with legal analyses of violations taking up the bulk of listening time (one-hour+), anticipating a legal challenge in court.
In both cases, the ‘owner/occupant’ established his/her rightful private status in statements and demands. Both were unlawfully arrested.

Terms (drawn from Black’s Law Fifth Edition, my home library paper reference)
“Straw man” is legal language: “Straw man or party – A ‘front’; a person who is put up in name only to take part in a deal. Nominal party to a transaction; one who acts as an agent for another for the purpose of taking title to real property and executing whatever documents and instruments the principal may direct…” p1274.
“Sovereign citizen” is not an oxymoron and you should not be afraid to use it or say it in any lawful context. A sovereign without citizen may be a tyrant or an outlaw, e.g. an international banker. A citizen has constitutional protection and remedy. We have this, on page 1252:
Sovereign – “A person, body, or state in which independent and supreme authority is vested; a chief ruler with supreme power; a king or other ruler with limited power.”
Sovereign people – “The political body, consisting of the entire number of citizens and qualified electors who, in their collective capacity, possess the powers of sovereignty and exercise them through their chosen representatives.”
Human, Human Being, Human Rights, etc., are not in Black’s Fifth legal terminology. As this man suggests, the phrase may exist elsewhere in penal codes and statutes, but I suggest you don’t use or say it ever — there are many alternative words in legal terms to make your point supported by law. I had an interesting discussion a couple of years ago about “hue-man being” subject to Color of Law. We were broadly discussing symbols, media and the use of color in advertising and movies as a kind of subversive revelation of the method.
“Color of Law – The appearance or semblance, without the substance, of legal right. Misuse of power, possessed by virtue of state law and made possible only because wrongdoer is clothed with authority of state, is action taken under ‘color of law’ …Acts ‘under color of any law’ of a State include not only acts done by State officials within the bounds or limits of their lawful authority, but also acts done without and beyond the bounds of their lawful authority; provided that…the unlawful acts must be done while such official is purporting or pretending to act in the performance of his official duties; that is to say, the unlawful acts must consist in an abuse or misuse of power which is possessed by the official only because he is an official…” Black’s Fifth, p241.
“Heaven is High and the Emperor is Far Away” –old Chinese proverb.
I don’t know if that’s actually an old proverb but somebody said it to me once and it stuck – but neither, it seems, applies to US. I’ve driventraveled enough miles in my drivingtraveling to circle the earth and then some. On the way, and over the years, there’s been dozens of traffic stops with happy endings with just two resulting in tickets that I dutifully paid. Only one of those two hits bothered me at the time and bothers me still because it was the most recent and expensive, happened about 200 yards from my front door and has dark side ‘color of law’ all over it. True story scenario: Local yokel (rural small town) Bad Egg town cop nesting in a radar speed trap 2 doors down (by my 2nd neighbor) nails a braking car just as ‘me & Pony’ come home around the bend, see everything, and roll into the scene on momentum. I should have pulled over and stopped right away because Town Cop had a bad (albeit nonviolent) reputation and looked to have the other car cold. Instead of taking off after the speeder ahead, he pointed his radar at me close range, waited for me to pass, and then jumped on Pony’s tail and lit me up. What I already knew from the grapevine chatter was that this young guy singled-out and targeted older women for ticketing– a case of m-i-s-o-g-y-n-y toward nice townswomen like your mom. Both targeted cars, mine and the so-called speeder ahead, pulled over and that move gave me the sandwich. Uh-oh. I knew, despairingly, I was going to get the other guy’s ticket! So, long story short, I said little, failed to do my citizen’s best and, Yes, signed the ticket and mailed in a whole week’s pay to the court. Some measure of justice came later though by writing a letter to the town and bundling it together with another townswoman who had a similar experience. Town Cop doesn’t work here anymore. Did we help eliminate a problem ‘child’? I hope so. Sometimes, you take the hit and win by losing. It’s not the money (-poof!-) but the circumstance and language I remember and that particular stop was a twisted classic—‘trick’ speech with a SWAT-tang from the officer and psychopathology in motion. Whew. I took my ticket and was home in one more minute. Town Cop waved the other waiting guy to Go and that was that.
A lot of people will counsel you not to speakto police but at the risk of elevating suspicion and aggression in my opinion. I’m thinking I avoided getting tickets in the past by being friendly, innocent of crime, polite, able to smile and gesture cooperativeness or not (shake your head ‘no’) with few enough words to mind my ‘p’s and ‘q’s. I am not a meek or shy soul. When and if I need it, the Dragon-Fire is in reserve. Maybe I chose ‘lucky,’ natural and non-legal words in those less-educated days, like calling the car (and car is perfectly good) “my wagon,” “my Chevy,” and “I own this machine” but the point is be yourself and train accordingly. Every time I hear the word “hue-man” now, no matter who says it, I get a warm flash of color of law, and that’s the way it stays. (Example: the Department of Health and Hue-man Services)
“Legal terms are Dragon Fire; use them wisely” — new proverb
Winning by losing (in a ‘street combat’ sense, not a courtroom sense) is an idea I briefly wrote about in 2009, forgetting until now that I’d mentioned the Battle of Gettysburg and Sun Tzu’s Art of War: my 2 paragraph post “The War Upon You” https://jenniferlake.wordpress.com/2009/09/17/the-war-upon-you/ I’ve learned some economic maxims since then too: “When bad money (fiat) circulates, good money (specie/gold/silver) hides.” Can we apply that in a word economy? For an economic look behind-the-scenes in this legalese mess, watch the Disclosure Hub’s “Fraud From Birth” series –part 2 especially; rock on Hubsters!!—and a get a feel for the framework of corruption. https://rumble.com/v6yuwme-fraud-from-birth-part-2.html?e9s=src_v1_cbl%2Csrc_v1_upp_a
You will hear and see in Fraud From Birth (part 2) this: [minute 6]“…your birth certificate and your Social Security card are directly a result of [the Cestui Que Vie trust, enacted in England 1666] …and it still exists… [min 6:42] “Judges know something that they can’t tell you and this is where good judges are going to need compassion from us, We the People, and this is why; the judges are fully aware that we are traded on the stock market. They make a retirement [fund] called ‘net retention’…[from] a Bid Bond called SF24…filed by a county clerk…After that’s filed there’s another bond called the SF25 Performance Bond… [shown onscreen is “CRIS –Court Registry Investment System” account funding]… [min 10] (speaker Miki Klann:)…”what you don’t know is that in every court case they’re going to open up [the] trust…and put 3 bonds in there: a Bid, a Performance, and a Payment Bond…[and] they’re going to make about 2 to 5 million dollars per traffic violation”…
People will also advise you to stay out of their courts. On the street, if it comes down to choosing a lesser evil I would readily talk to the police in a friendly, neutral manner to avoid a ticket or an arrest, or ‘take the hit’ and be on my way and deal with the fine and choice of complaint later. Starve this wretched Beastie system out of business.

The Constitution for the United States includes the premise of the Declaration of Independence that “all men [and women] are created equal.” It doesn’t matter where you came from or where you’re going. The ‘class’ includes the experience of a Ukrainian woman caught in a dread traffic stop who called him in real time for on-the-spot advice. As far as Eddie is concerned, any and every traffic officer has larceny in his heart. I don’t agree with everything given as advice in the video, but still urge every so-called “driver” in the USA to know what ‘traffic expert’ Eddie knows, and this applies to any study of Common Law: https://rumble.com/v5quhlb-eddie-craig-and-traffic-law-archival-footage.html?e9s=src_v1_cbl%2Csrc_v1_upp_a
Terms (at common law, in the video):
Malum in se – “A wrong in itself; an act or case involving illegality from the very nature of the transaction, upon principles of natural, moral, and public law. Grindstaff v. State, 214 Tenn. 58, 377 S.W.2d 921, 926; State v. Shedoudy, N.M. 516, 118 P.2d, 280, 287. An act is said to be malum in se when it is inherently and essentially evil, that is, immoral in its nature and injurious in its consequences, without any regard to the fact of its being noticed or punished by the law of the state. Such are most or all of the offenses cognizable at common law (without the denouncement of a statute); as murder, larceny, etc.” –Black’s Fifth Ed., p865. Malum in se applies to my own example above, as a handy and even preferential but innocent target. In that situation, mens rea (“a guilty or wrongful purpose”…) could have been argued at trial against the officer with evidence (affidavit and witness testimonies).
Malum prohibitum –“A wrong prohibited; a thing which is wrong because [it’s] prohibited; an act which is not inherently immoral, but becomes so because its commission is expressly forbidden by positive law; an act involving an illegality resulting from positive law. Contrasted with malum in se.” [no case listings]—Black’s Fifth, p865
Eddie suggests you stay out of court (unless totally prepared).
Injure, as in jure, comes from Roman practice and means “in law; according to law.” Black’s Fifth gives the injury list on pages 706-707.
Injure – “To violate the legal right of another or inflict an actionable wrong. To do harm to, damage, or impair. To hurt or wound, as the person; to impair the soundness of, as health. Ziolkowsky v. Continental Casualty Co., 284 Ill.App., 505, 1 N.E. 2d 410,412. As applied to a building, ‘injure’ means to materially impair or destroy any part of the existing structure. See injury.
Injury – “Any wrong or damage done to another, either in his person, rights, reputation, or property. The invasion of any legally protected interest of another. Restatement, Second, Torts, subsection 7. Absolute injuries— Injuries to those rights which a person possesses as being a member of society. Accidental injury –[edited, from this point] A bodily injury by accident…it being something which is unforeseen and not expected by the person to whom it happens… regardless of whether the injury is a visible hurt from external force or disease or infection induced by sudden and catastrophic exposure… notwithstanding a natural weakness predisposing to injury…” [Black’s continues defining this list, including Bodily injury, Civil injury, Irreparable injury, Permanent injury, Personal injury, Private injuries, Public injuries, Real injury, Relative injuries, Reparable injury, and Verbal injury.]
Any Black’s Fifth (1979) citations needed by you, my reader, will be fully disclosed if you leave me a request in the comments.
“Whoever, under color of any law, statute, ordinance, regulation, or custom, willfully subjects any person in any State, Territory, Commonwealth, Possession, or District to the deprivation of any rights, privileges, or immunities secured or protected by the Constitution or laws of the United States, or to different punishments, pains, or penalties, on account of such person being an alien, or by reason of his color, or race, than are prescribed for the punishment of citizens, shall be fined under this title or imprisoned not more than one year, or both; and if bodily injury results from the acts committed in violation of this section or if such acts include the use, attempted use, or threatened use of a dangerous weapon, explosives, or fire, shall be fined under this title or imprisoned not more than ten years, or both; and if death results from the acts committed in violation of this section or if such acts include kidnapping or an attempt to kidnap, aggravated sexual abuse, or an attempt to commit aggravated sexual abuse, or an attempt to kill, shall be fined under this title, or imprisoned for any term of years or for life, or both, or may be sentenced to death.
“Over the course of American history, there has been no greater conflict of visions than that between Thomas Jefferson’s voluntary republic, founded on the natural right of peaceful secession, and Abraham Lincoln’s permanent empire, founded on the violent denial of that same right… [N]o serious student of history or politics could believe that Jefferson and Lincoln possessed similar visions for America. Or that Jefferson would have condoned the violent subjugation of a single sovereign state (let alone 11 of them), or thought Lincoln’s disregard for the Constitution in any way legal or justified.
“Rather, he would have known at once that what Lincoln spawned through his belligerence was a government capable of violating its own fundamental law at will; of using illegal force to prevent the governed from withdrawing voluntary consent (regardless of their motivation), and thereby destroying consent altogether. Such a government is incapable of liberty, and antithetical to the very existence of Jefferson’s America.” https://tenthamendmentcenter.com/2010/02/20/jefferson-vs-lincoln-america-must-choose/
From the Mises Institute, author economist Thomas J. DiLorenzo –video “Axis of Evil: America’s Three Worst Presidents” https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=W6vIAlK50sE “…Lincoln started a war over tax collection…,” (Quoting the book) “Lincoln destroyed the voluntary union of the Founding Fathers and replaced it with a union held together by war and the mass murder of Southern civilians… The uniquely American system of federalism was destroyed along with the Tenth Amendment to the Constitution and the states’ rights of nullification and secession [as ‘reserved powers’], and Americans became the servants rather than the masters of their own government…” https://mises.org/library/book/axis-evil-americas-three-worst-presidents

Make America States Again
“During the 2024 presidential election, voters have repeatedly heard calls to ‘Make America Great Again,’ ‘Make America Wealthy Again,’ and ‘Make America Healthy Again,’ but one you might not have heard is ‘Make America STATES Again’ – a solution to …drive the federal behemoth back into its constitutional cage.
“…Originally published in the New-York Packet on January 29, 1788, The Federalist,No. 46 was written by James Madison, under the pseudonym Publius, as a continuation of his previous essay (TheFederalist,No.45) …to address critics’ concerns that the new Constitution would result in the ‘consequential annihilation of the state governments.’ …As Madison explained in his opening, he saw the federal and state governments as being “different agents and trustees of the people, instituted with different powers, and designated for different purposes.” The federal government cannot annihilate or overstep the authority of the state governments, because the newly proposed Constitution, Madison explained, does not grant it the legal power to do so.
“…Because of the 17th Amendment [ratified April 8, 1913], state governments no longer have any representation in Congress, and their direct influence in the federal government is therefore neutralized. A full repeal of the 17th Amendment and a return to state legislatures electing their states’ U.S. senators in accordance with Article I, Section 3, Clauses 1 and 3 of the Constitution is vital to help Make America STATES Again.
“…Sadly, as a result of lies repeatedly taught in government schools and by the media, Americans have been led to believe that all laws passed by Congress and signed by the president, presidential executive orders, federal regulations, and Supreme Court rulings are the “supreme Law of the Land” and must be implemented by the states as subordinates to the federal government… This widespread belief stems from a misunderstanding of Article VI and what has long been erroneously called the “Supremacy Clause.” Nowhere does Article VI, or any other part of the Constitution, authorize or declare that the federal government and all federal laws have supremacy over state governments and state laws.
“…It is essential that state legislators have a proper understanding of the enumerated powers of Congress to determine what is pursuant to the Constitution. The act of state legislators declaring federal acts that are not warranted by the enumerated powers in the Constitution to be “null, void, and of no legal effect” in their state is called nullification. “If nullification is to be successfully deployed and defended, states’ lawmakers must remember that the Constitution is a creature of the states and that the federal government was given very few and very limited powers over objects of national importance. Any act of Congress, the courts, or the president that exceeds that small scope is null, void, and of no legal effect. No exceptions…
Nullification is deeply rooted in U.S. history — particularly of the American people expressing their collective interest as states. …The people’s inherent sovereignty is expressed first and foremost through their state governments, which in turn sublet a portion of that sovereignty to the federal government. James Madison understood… The heart and soul of Madison’s method to Make America STATES Again is the concept and proper use of nullification.” https://buildingblocksforliberty.org/make-america-states-again/

“The Revolution of 1913 – Thomas J. DiLorenzo”
“…the centralized State, in my view, culminated in 1913… Woodrow Wilson, before he became President, was a political science professor at Princeton, as many of you know. In his book on congressional government he wrote, enthusiastically and in approval, this: ‘The War Between the States established this principle: that the federal government is, through its courts, the final judge of its own powers.’ And he thought that was a great thing, the fox would be guarding the hen house from here on out. And of course, this was one of the things such people as Thomas Jefferson thought would be the end of liberty in America– if you allowed, ever, the central government to be the final judge of its own powers. It didn’t take a genius to forecast that the government would get around to deciding that there are no limits to its powers, which it did. Now, this system of federalism, or States’ Rights, was never intended to be enforced by the Supreme Court alone…One illustration of how that was never the intention is…a brief history I have of the 17th Amendment… [continue at minute 4]

Disclaimer: If you’ve read this far into the post, I want to emphasize that sources and quotes are educational “FYI”s. I’m not a proponent of repealing amendments, especially in the super corrupt conditions of the present. In fact, anything counter to the noble philosophies of Natural Rights is outside my scope of endorsement. We live in ignoble times, if not “interesting.” No state within the US, apparently, has ever succeeded at nullification but worthy arguments abound. The situation reminds me of an old ‘lawyer’ joke: ‘What do you call 50 lawyers at the bottom of the ocean? [Answer:] A good start!’
The trouble with lawyers is they spend your time and money “attorning,” you– that is, according to Webster’s dictionary: “at-torn, -torned, -torning. Law, (of a tenant) to accept the authority of a new landlord (late ME[English] attournen, AF[French] attourner, OF[French] –to turn over to…” or as we know it today, attorneys effect the transfer of your property (including rights and all) to the jurisdiction of courts and other superior claimants on your person.
“If any lingering doubt could have existed as to the reservation of their entire sovereignty by the people of the respective States, when they organized the Federal Union, it would have been removed by the adoption of the tenth amendment to the Constitution, which was not only one of the amendments proposed by various States when ratifying that instrument, but the particular one in which they substantially agreed, and upon which they most urgently insisted… That amendment is in these words: ‘The powers not delegated to the United States by the Constitution nor prohibited by it to the States are reserved to the States respectively, or to the people.’
“The full meaning of this article may not be as clear to us as it was to the men of that period, on account of the confusion of ideas by which the term “ people” —plain enough to them— has since been obscured, and also the ambiguity attendant upon the use of the little conjunction ‘or’, which has been said to be the most equivocal word in our language, and for that reason has been excluded from indictments in the English courts. The true intent and meaning of the provision, however, may be ascertained from an examination and comparison of the terms in which it was expressed by the various States which proposed it, and whose ideas it was intended to embody.
… “each recommended several such amendments, putting this at the head in the following form: ‘That it be explicitly declared that all powers not expressly delegated by the aforesaid Constitution are reserved to the several States, to be by them exercised. Of course, those stanch republican communities meant the people of the States—not their governments, as something distinct from their people.
“New York expressed herself as follows: ‘That the powers of government may be reassumed by the people whenever it shall become necessary to their happiness ; that every power, jurisdiction, and right, which is not by the said Constitution clearly delegated to the Congress of the United States, or the departments of the Government thereof, remains to the people of the several States, or to their respective State governments, to whom they may have granted the same’…
“Rhode Island gave in her long-withheld assent to the Constitution, “in full confidence” that certain proposed amendments would be adopted, the first of which was expressed in these words: ‘That Congress shall guarantee to each State its SOVEREIGNTY, freedom, and independence, and every power, jurisdiction, and right, which is not by this Constitution expressly delegated to the United States.” This was in May, 1790, when nearly three years had been given to discussion and explanation of the new Government by its founders and others, when it had been in actual operation for more than a year, and when there was every advantage for a clear understanding of its nature and principles. Under such circumstances, and in the “full confidence” that this language expressed its meaning and intent, the people of Rhode Island signified their ‘accession’ to the ‘Confederate Republic’ of the States already united.
… “Much has been said of the ‘prohibition’ of the exercise by the States of certain functions of sovereignty ; such as, making treaties, declaring war, coining money, etc, This is only a part of the general compact, by which the contracting parties covenant, one with another, to abstain from the separate exercise of certain powers, which they agree to intrust to the management and control of the union or general agency of the parties associated. It is not a prohibition imposed upon them from without, or from above, by any external or superior power, but is self-imposed by their free consent. The case is strictly analogous to that of individuals forming a mercantile or manufacturing co-partnership, who voluntarily agree to refrain, as individuals, from engaging in other pursuits or speculations…
“This enunciation of a principle, which, even if it had not been expressly declared, would have been a necessary deduction from the acceptance of the Constitution itself, has been magnified and perverted into a meaning and purpose entirely foreign to that which plain interpretation is sufficient to discern…
“There are some other considerations which may conduce to a clearer understanding of this supremacy of the Constitution and the laws made in pursuance thereof :
1. In the first place, it must be remembered that, when the Federal Constitution was formed, each then existing State already had its own Constitution and code of statute laws. It was, no doubt, primarily with reference to these that the provision was inserted, and not in the expectation of future conflicts or discrepancies. It is in this light alone that Mr. Madison considers it in explaining and vindicating it in the “ Federalist.” t . .
2. Again, it is to be observed that the supremacy accorded to the general laws of the United States is expressly limited to those enacted in conformity with the Constitution, or, to use the exact language, ‘made in pursuance thereof.’ Mr. Hamilton, in another chapter of the ‘Federalist,’ calls particular attention to this, saying (and the italics are all his own) ‘that the laws of the Confederacy, as to the enumerated and legitimate objects of its jurisdiction, will become the supreme law of the land,’ and that the State functionaries will cooperate in their observance and enforcement with the General Government, ‘as far as its just and constitutional authority extends.’
3. In the third place, it is not the Government of the United States that is declared to be supreme, but the Constitution and the laws and treaties made in accordance with it. The proposition was made in the Convention to organize a government consisting of ‘supreme legislative, executive, and judicial powers,’ but it was not adopted. Its deliberate rejection is much more significant and conclusive than if it had never been proposed. Correction of so gross an error as that of confounding the Government with the Constitution ought to be superfluous, but so crude and confused are the ideas which have been propagated on the subject, that no misconception seems to be too absurd to be possible. Thus, it has not been uncommon, of late years, to hear, even in the highest places, the oath to support the Constitution, which is taken by both State and Federal officers, spoken of as an oath “to support the Government”—an obligation never imposed upon any one in this country… Could any assertion be less credible than that they proceeded to institute another supreme government which it would be treason to resist?
“This confusion of ideas pervades the treatment of the whole subject of sovereignty. Mr. Webster has said, and very justly so far as these United States are concerned: ‘The sovereignty of government is an idea belonging to the other side of the Atlantic. No such thing is known in North America. Our governments are all limited. In Europe sovereignty is of feudal origin, and imports no more than the state of the sovereign. It comprises his rights, duties, exemptions, prerogatives, and powers. But with us all power is with the people. They alone are sovereign, and they erect what governments they please, and confer on them such powers as they please. None of these governments are sovereign, in the European sense of the word, all being restrained by written constitutions.’
…“There are but two modes of expressing their sovereign will known to the people of this country. One is by direct vote— the mode adopted by Rhode Island in 1788, when she rejected the Constitution. The other is the method, more generally pursued, of acting by means of conventions of delegates elected expressly as representatives of the sovereignty of the people. Now, it is not a matter of opinion or theory or speculation, but a plain, undeniable, historical fact, that there never has been any act or expression of sovereignty in either of these modes by that imaginary community, ‘the people of the United States in the aggregate.’ Usurpations of power by the Government of the United States, there may have been, and may be again, but there has never been either a sovereign convention or a direct vote of the ‘whole people’ of the United States to demonstrate its existence as a corporate unit. Every exercise of sovereignty by any of the people of this country that has actually taken place has been by the people of States as States. In the face of this fact, is it not the merest self-stultification to admit the sovereignty of the people and deny it to the States, in which alone they have community existence?
“This subject is one of such vital importance to a right understanding of the events which this work is designed to record and explain, that it cannot be dismissed without an effort in the way of recapitulation and conclusion, to make it clear beyond the possibility of misconception.
“According to the American theory, every individual is endowed with certain unalienable rights, among which are ‘life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness.’ He is entitled to all the freedom, in these and in other respects, that is consistent with the safety and the rights of others and the weal of the community, but political sovereignty, which is the source and origin of all the powers of government—legislative, executive, and judicial—belongs to, and inheres in, the people of an organized political community. It is an attribute of the whole people of such a community… but the governments are only agents of the sovereign—responsible to it, and subject to its control. This sovereign—the people, in the aggregate, of each political community—delegates to the government the exercise of such powers, or functions, as it thinks proper, but in an American republic never transfers or surrenders sovereignty. That remains, unalienated and unimpaired. It is by virtue of this sovereignty alone that the Government, its authorized agent, commands the obedience of the individual citizen, to the extent of its derivative, dependent, and delegated authority. The ALLEGIANCE of the citizen is due to the sovereign alone.
… “No doubt, the States—the people of the States—if they had been so disposed, might have merged themselves into one great consolidated State, retaining their geographical boundaries merely as matters of convenience. But such a merger must have been distinctly and formally stated, not left to deduction or implication.
“Men do not alienate even an estate, without positive and express terms and stipulations. But in this case not only was there no express transfer—no formal surrender—of the preexisting sovereignty, but it was expressly provided that nothing should be understood as even delegated—that everything was reserved, unless granted in express terms. The monstrous conception of the creation of a new people, invested with the whole or a great part of the sovereignty which had previously belonged to the people of each State, has not a syllable to sustain it in the Constitution, but is built up entirely upon the palpable misconstruction of a single expression in the preamble.
“In denying that there is any such collective unit as the people of the United States in the aggregate, of course I am not to be understood as denying that there is such a political organization as the United States, or that there exists, with large and distinct powers, a Government of the United States; but it is claimed that the Union, as its name implies, is constituted of States. As a British author,* referring to the old Teutonic system, has expressed the same idea, the States are the integers, the United States the multiple which results from them. The Government of the United States derives its existence from the same source, and exercises its functions by the will of the same sovereignty that creates and confers authority upon the State governments. The people of each State are, in either case, the source. The only difference is that, in the creation of the State governments, each sovereign acted alone; in that of the Federal Government, they acted in cooperation with the others. Neither the whole nor any part of their sovereignty has been surrendered to either Government.
“To whom, in fine, could the States have surrendered their sovereignty? Not to the mass of the people inhabiting the territory possessed by all the States, for there was no such community in existence, and they took no measures for the organization of such a community. If they had intended to do so, the very style, ‘United States,’ would have been a palpable misnomer, nor would treason have been defined as levying war against them. Could it have been transferred to the Government of the Union? Clearly not, in accordance with the ideas and principles of those who made the Declaration of Independence, adopted the Articles of Confederation, and established the Constitution of the United States; for in each and all of these the corner-stone is the inherent and inalienable sovereignty of the people. To have transferred sovereignty from the people to a Government would have been to have fought the battles of the Revolution in vain—not for the freedom and independence of the States, but for a mere change of masters. Such a thought or purpose could not have been in the heads or hearts of those who molded the Union, and could have found lodgment only when the ebbing tide of patriotism and fraternity had swept away the landmarks which they erected who sought by the compact of union to secure and perpetuate the liberties then possessed. The men who had won at great cost the independence of their respective States were deeply impressed with the value of union, but they could never have consented, like ‘the base Judean,’ to fling away the priceless pearl of State sovereignty for any possible alliance.
[end of Part II, Chapter 9 pp146-156, The Rise and Fall of the Confederate Government, Vol.1]
The *Pennsylvania Packet newspaper made the first ever public printing of the united states’ Constitution, September 19, 1787: Note there is no ‘title’ to this Preamble, consonant with the original. It begins “We, the People” and ends “Constitution for the United States of America,” verifying, if you will, that the Constitution of the UnitedStates is a later artifact. Small difference or none?, one might think, especially when my popular paperback copy of The Constitution of the United States includes the Preamble word-for-word. But many of the founding fathers, as they are knowable, had an aversion to ‘titles’ of all kinds and not just for people apparently, as demonstrated by the **13th Amendment. Our situation at present is to be ruled by Titles and Oversea-ers.
In the next days and weeks, I’m going to share my lessons, other people’s lessons and experiences, and post a swelling collection of resources on law, theory, and legalese. We all could use some help –and fast! To get things going, I recommend a few hours of listening programs.
… and guest ‘K.L.’ giving a 2-part presentation (episodes 256 and 274) on the basic history of American law developments that created at least two different legal jurisdictions (“public” and “private”) and two types of American citizens.
Cutting to the chase, if you’re short on listening time, I’ve condensed and strung together quotable points from Ken Cousens to make a general statement:
[starting at minute 19].…”We are under full internationally recognized military conquest and occupation [due to bankruptcy]… And as a bankrupt corporation [entitled United States Inc] under Admiralty and bankruptcy law and rules…there are certain things that apply. One of these is that the civil system must be put in place to manage the property and the persons of the conquered territory. We are both the property and the persons of the conquered territory and all other national corporations were put in as subdivisions in a master global corporation… The corporate person, or strawman…is actually a franchise…and [like any franchise] there are codified requirements… It’s not fraud, and it’s not non-constitutional…[but operating under] the definition of bonded surety…under Roman law…which is all about military conquest…
[By a proclamation speech issued March 9, 1933, President]”FDR used the phrase ‘This is a day of national consecration’ –when you consecrate something you put it into a religious construct—so FDR put [us] into an ecclesiastical structure…[and] declared a banking holiday…and basically suspended lawful money and lawful procedure…and put [governance] into something called public policy…to protect the integrity of the United States Treasury, banking and monetary system..[that] had gone into foreclosure… All ‘hidden in plain sight’…And there’s a conclusion, which is what we’re living in [now]…[that’s] intended to create an entire global population bound and bonded to a perpetual debt enslavement monetary system through legal contractual attachments… So, everything was moved into commerce… Their entire sandbox is based on commerce and something that most people know, the Uniform Commercial Code –the fundamental UCC also known as the Law Merchant, is that it’s a codified rule system [that] applies to merchants, mariners, and their property. So, it’s a Maritime system…reinstituted in the last couple of hundred years and it’s all about secured relationships to a debtor and collateralized property…[also] called insurance.” [min29]
Ken has lots to say –my distillation almost eliminates his esoteric inferences— and I suggest hearing the program, but I’ve also found much of the esoteric and occulting on my own, posted as other subject matter. For example, according to history and record, the federal corporation was granted authority to officiate “19 enumerated powers” and no more. An exposition of the number 19 appears in Corona the Crow Part II (in a ‘Back to the Future’/9-11 decode) with a meaning of “for all time,” forever, or beyond time. Is it curious that the newly minted American population got their first notice of a Constitution on 9-19? Or that 19 powers of rule were outsourced to a “foreign” conglomerate? Do we…um… take them back?! There’s some serious explaining to do and “remedies” to explore. Law is deep and complex and mostly new-to-me at this level, but there is treasure in the Deep and you will not drown here! I’ll do my best.
The United States Code was adopted into law on June 30, 1926 – “Since then, 27 of the titles, referred to as positive law titles, have been restated and enacted into law by Congress as titles of the Code.” http://uscode.house.gov/detailed_guide.xhtml
— by numerology 6-30-1926 is a date resulting in “27” and/or “54”. 6+3+0+1+9+2+6=27, 6+30(=36)+1+9+2+6(=18)=54 . There are currently 54 Titles in the Code. By straightforward English gematria the word ‘Code’ equals 27. Both numbers (27 & 54) reduce to 9s. Next year the Code turns 100, 10X10 or “ten squared”. 6+3+0+2+0+2+6=19. Gematria for ‘District of Columbia’ equals 199 (1+9+9=19)and what is 1+9 but a 10, reducing down to One.
The caption under this map reads “As shown in this 1862 map, published by G. Woolworth Colton, the District of Columbia was designed to be a perfect square, 10 miles on a side,” from an article titled “Washington D.C. and the Quest for a Perfectly Square City” published on 10-23-2020 (1+2+3+2+2=10). The author writes that D.C. “was drawn as a perfect square, with unnervingly straight lines passing at unnatural angles through hills, waterways, and properties. Even stranger, it remains that way today, more than 200 years later—with a notable problem that the city gave away about a third of its land to some angry neighbors.” www.atlasobscura.com/articles/is-washington-a-square
I find that little anecdote on the end cheery. Got neighbors? Nevertheless, the “brain” in the center is still there, baked into the pudding, and also mentioned in Corona the Crow, Part Three where actual birds, brains, and artful visual metaphors around D.C. have a few moments together. It does not surprise me that the most used term for a flock of crows is not a “murder” but a “congress” –murder notwithstanding.
The Corona series (four parts and special ‘Crow Notes’) starts herehttps://jenniferlake.wordpress.com/2022/06/10/corona-the-crow/ , as my own esoteric though unintended prologue to the subject of LAW, which I appreciate as the useful acronym of Land, Air, and Water from some people. Don’t forget Space. Everyone says ‘space’ all the time nowadays. Kudos to Crrow777radio for making so may hours of legal themed podcasts available with a variance of guests and opinions– there’s much more to come. Sea you again for part two. (all spelling intended)
**The original, missing, and still controversial 13th Amendment regarding equality under the law stated that no citizen of the United States of America could accept a title, honor or gift from a foreign power without forfeiting US citizenship. This included the title at law ‘Esquire’ bestowed by the (BAR) British Accredited Registry. [ref. 18 minute video discussion in 2 parts, with Alfred Adask] https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Qpp6sIP19dM ; https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8yejt65nG4M ; “When America was still a chartered group of British colonies under patent – established in what was formally named the British Crown territory of New England – the first British Accredited Registry (BAR) was established in Boston during 1761 to attempt to allow only accredited barrister-lawyers access to the British courts of New England.” https://attorney-faq.com/why-are-u-s-attorneys-registered-with-british-attorney-registry
My first note is commentary on the numerology thing—don’t want to leave you hanging on that without explanation lest you think I’m only trifling in the weird. Numbers are symbols of value, structure, and facts in evidence of structure and methodology. Patterns are present and obvious here, so I’m “stating the obvious” in revealing patterns and restraining the interpretation to the extent that I’m comfortable, which is really not-so-much! I want proofs, so I keep rooting up these proofs and including them as germane to the whole. Incidentally, our govern-mental congress is in its 119th session. (January 2025 to Jan of 2027) https://www.ballotpedia.org/119th_United _States_Congress/
Time of the seizin’ might be the message in all these ‘1s’ and ‘9s.’ The rats are packed and abandoning ship. My punning mind latched onto an old rock song today called “Time of the Season” (on seas) by the ‘British Invasion’ band The Zombies (walking dead men) who had their first U.S. hit in 1964 with “She’s Not There.” It’s around this same time that Anna von Reitz says our Common Law courts ceased to function, abandoned by the People to the overlords, which applies to our representative self-government too, as abandoned. “Abandoned, but not abolished.” It’s up to us, she urges, to repopulate our rightful local and state governments and take back our power.https://annavonreitz.com “Judge” Anna advocates “correcting your status,” a term broadly used to describe restoring your constitutional rights as a free man/woman on the Land where you have standing, by claiming ownership of the strawman created for you by the State. In some cases, you will want to authenticate your birth certificate in the “country” where you were born –your geographical state of origin is your “country” and nation—which is to say, you are not a United States citizen (as per the 14th Amendment privilege). You will also hear from Anna, among others, that there are 3, three!, Constitutions and 3 jurisdictions (among the courts).
–by the way, the Zombies were inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame on September 19, 2019 (9-19-19)
A birth certificate (identification) is a title of ownership created by contract with a mother and passed to the State upon registry. Listen to Josh at Large relate a local news story about the actions of Child Protective Services (minute 18-20) and his own personal experience following a description of birth certification at the one hour mark. Berth certifications originate from European edicts of the 1500-1600s, known as Cestui Que Vie trusts to account for missing people and their property, most notably missing sailors and seamen. The modern version as we know it, according to Josh Albert’s research, presupposes that a “fatherless” child has been delivered into society where the taking of preemptive authority is in the interest of the State. Check out the lyrics to my choice song de jour, Time of the Season. I don’t think it’s a love song about romantic love, family love or any love except maybe the “loving your servitude” kind, especially by repeating the second verse to make a third: [verses 2&3] “What’s your name? Who’s your daddy? Is he rich like me. Has he taken any time to show you what you need to live… [refrain] It’s the time of the season for loving,”— hmm? –coupled to the first verse it reminds me now of birth certificates. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wG5R7vyu-mA Owning your strawman and correcting your status to fully “exercise the franchise” as JFK famously proposed might be your best strategy, but that’s not “legal advice”–just a heads-up on how to participate. Examples will be forthcoming. “Sovereign citizen,” they say, is an oxymoron.
Listen&watch these select interviews on legal countermeasures, natural law, philosophy of living, spiritual growth and getting (in and) out of the Matrix. The first two are practical-actionable and, from my point of view, essential:
The 19 powers, and last note for this part, are enumerated in Article 1 section 8 of the Constitution, numbered through 18. The 19th power, though I haven’t yet heard it explicitly mentioned as such, is to my mind the 16th Amendment: “The Congress shall have power to lay and collect taxes on incomes…without regard to any census or enumeration.” The 16th “income tax” amendment was passed by Congress on July 2, 1909 and ratified on February 3, 1913 (2+3+1+9+1+3=19). Incidentally, the signers of the Constitution gave the several state ratifiers until 1808 to bring in the full force of the law– see Article 1 section 9, and Article III as examples. Congress passed it (the ‘first ten’ Bill of Rights) in September of 1789, 19 years before 1808.
This is not my last post, and far from it I expect, though “last” times are on my mind. Part of that is the challenge of endings and there have been quite a few in my latest absence from this blog. The sad ones are losses of friendship and kinship (R.I.P John Kaminski, Daryl B. Smith, my dad) and others that are like shearings, sheddings, good riddances and renewals. Another chapter begins. So let’s pick a bone over basics and move on.
Subject matter: the Four-Letter God, a.k.a. Tetragrammaton, #26, you know, from the Old Testament. I’m calling ‘him’ Yahu in accord with my current comprehension of the water-jug entity recovered in Timna (of the Arabah desert) being the oldest known artifact (c.1300-1200 BCE) with The Name, found east of Egypt. If I use or cite any other it’s for written discussion only. We speak our truth in this metaphysical existence and that’s another lesson I’m learning from contemporary Law theory too. Freemasons and Illuminists seem to know it well in their constructions of ‘see-and-say’ props and psychopomps. Invoke your heart’s desire only, friends, “from your mouth to God’s ear” is a profound saying that we share.
Okay, I once wrote in here somewhere that I wouldn’t post about theology. I changed my mind. Covid really turned the bird, even more than the accumulated stressors since Nine Eleven. How were we going to interface?? The revolution will not be digitized, no matter how much virtuality we have. At last, I thought, seriously fake stuff was causing real results everywhere.
And here’s the lesson about the (fake stuff) O.T. “God”, from Bible literalist Israel Anderson: “Yahweh the Physical God,” https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=X3xCZVAxtmo , with 23 minutes of examples from the Torah including Deuteronomy 23: 12-14 where God instructs the encampment of Israelites in the Arabah wilderness to bury their feces. Quoting the RSV, “You shall have a place outside the camp…and…have a stick…and when you sit down outside, you shall dig a hole with it, and turn back and cover up your excrement Because the Lord your God walks in the midst of your camp,” making a point, says Anderson, that “God doesn’t want to step in your crap, man!” when he visits “face-to-face.” Citing by contrast the New Testament Gospel of John 1:17 that ”No one has ever seen God,” Anderson adds that “Yahweh is not the God of Jesus” if you didn’t already know from study. Jesus’s mission, today as ever, is toredeemyou from YHWH-Jehovah and remove Death from Life. Bear the lesson a few minutes more where this video https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Kqwn3NuEwz4 turns to a reading of YHWH and Satan (the Adversary) being one and the same, interchangeably. Words matter.
In Law and contracts, the right words can help you “walk on water” and “resurrect the dead” or rather, rise above the legalistic jurisdictions of maritime and corporate rule by restoring your soul to your corpse (strawman) while you still have one. Confused? It’s okay, we’ll talk it out later—I finished my business on this piece after “Words matter.” It’s good to be back. Sea you next post.
For a further exposition on Yahweh, I transcribed and edited a twelve minute segment from an interview with Joseph Farrell, posted from Red Ice Radio in 2012, describing his then new book Yahweh the Two-Faced God:
[from minute 28] “This little book…grew out of conversations [with co-author Scott DeHart] that we’d had for nearly twenty years—rather disturbing things and not the least of which is the character of Yahweh in the Old Testament… And the bottom line is this: you have in the character of Yahweh, by any objective moral evaluation, a psychopathic, genocidal, murderous, manipulative, emotionally abusive character claiming…to be God… The early church fathers [were] grappling with this whole problem…[and] no amount of theological juggle-ry will change the fact that you’re dealing with a real moral ambiguity… [A] second point…is that once you accept this moral schizophrenia then [you’re looking at] the cultural effects of subscribing to one of the three… Yahwist traditions… meaning Judaism, Christianity and Islam. The cultural effect of [any one of] this religion in ancient times was that it introduced a schism in the social space…[by] defining itself constantly as being in opposition to something that pre-existed it…whether it be Egypt[ian], …paganism,… [or]idolatry, it’s always got to have something in which to be in opposition.
“And there’s a third [point of] consequence when you enshrine a text as the basis of knowing God. And this is in complete opposition, it’s completely different, than the types of…philosophical systems that preceded it, where, it’s not a text…but an understanding of nature itself… This [written text] is the basis for the biblical proscriptions against…worshipping creatures…[and nature] that it’s defining itself in opposition to.
“And the final point that we have…is that Yahwism is a revolution… It’s a conceptual revolution and it’s a moral, or as we would see it, an immoral revolution. And like all revolutions it has a founding moment in violence… And so many times in history since then [we have] this pattern repeated [i.e. French Revolution, Bolshevik Revolution, etc]… All these [events] follow some founding act of violence…and in this respect Yahwism is no different… so it fills the bills of revolutionary violent movements if you strip off all of the religious connotations of it. So, in other words… it’s a grab for Power. Nothing more than that.
“And from [there, in the book] we go into explorations of American civil religion and I don’t even want to call that Christianity… We go into the relationship between this absurd doctrine that you see with evangelicals—the Rapture…and tie it to the modern nation-state of Israel and why [it is tied-in]…
[minute 36] “What happens is… you enshrine a text and the text literally becomes your God. You enshrine, in other words, a system and [with it] a system of interpretation and therefore you elevate to positions of authority a clerical elite that does the interpreting. That’s the first thing [the text/system] does. The second thing it does is that it introduces into the psychology of anybody following the ‘religion’, and doing so with good consciousness [conscientiousness?] to live out the tenets of the faith,…it introduces [the idea] that any other human being… is looked at in purely mechanistic terms—and what we mean by that is… viewed as either a convert to the system or as a potential enemy. So…the net social effect of these types of [text-based] revelation religions is that it introduces schism and…division in the social space. [Henrik of Red Ice: “you’re either with us or against us”],[exactly] …the effect is to keep humanity divided…[and] it has huge political and geopolitical implications… It enshrines an authoritative oligarchical elite that does the interpreting of the text. In the American version of this, you have this hideous pre-Tribulation Rapture doctrine that, for one thing, people have to understand is not the doctrine of any, ANY, sort of historically-connected Christianity… The bottom line [in historical Christian doctrine] is, if you understand the doctrine of Christ, the incarnation within standard Christian dogmatics, it is meant to be a Once and For All Final Sacrifice that abolishes for all time, and in all places, any return to an Old Testament system of…sacrifice… [The] teaching [of] the Rapture doctrine…is a denial of Christ… So [we] have a major departure in American civil religion with this Rapture doctrine…[that] serves no other purpose theologically than to enthrone the Jewish people…as a specially selected chosen group…[or] otherwise we incur the wrath of Yahweh!… It’s just plain nutty!”
“English ‘god from the machine’ is a plot device whereby a seemingly unsolvable problem in a story is suddenly or abruptly resolved by an unexpected and unlikely occurrence… The term was coined from the conventions of ancient Greek theater, where actors who were playing gods were brought on stage using a machine. The machine could be either a crane (mechane) used to lower actors from above or a riser that brought them up through a trapdoor…” https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Deus_ex_machina
“Deus ex machina…provides an artificial or contrived solution to an apparently insoluble difficulty… The dramatic device dates from the 5th century BC; a god appears …to solve a crisis by divine intervention. Since ancient times, the phrase has also been applied to an unexpected saviour or to an improbable event that brings order out of chaos…” https://www.britannica.com/art/deus-ex-machina
“God Crystals” is an idea I’m currently unpacking in a previous post (and still working on) called Earth Salt and Space Crystals, or how microgravity is aiding in the design of nanoparticles for drug delivery, social engineering and computational superpowers. In timely fashion for my project, a video creator named Salt has made a new movie with the title ‘The Hidden Meaning Behind 3 BODY PROBLEM & DONNIE DARKO” that hits the mark several times over. I highly recommend it before and after taking on ‘Space Crystals’. Here’s the link: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_AFum3YzeM0

“The cult of evil is a reality—by whatever means we may seek to explain it. Eliphas Lévi, whilst denying the existence of Satan ‘as a superior personality and power,’ admits this fundamental truth: ‘Evil exists; it is impossible to doubt it. We can do good or evil. There are beings who knowingly and voluntarily do evil.’ There are also beings who love evil…”
“Of the Jewish influence in Masonry after 1717 I shall speak later… The fact remains that when the ritual and constitutions of [English] Masonry were drawn up in 1717, although certain fragments of the ancient Egyptian and Pythagorean doctrines were retained, the Judaic version of the secret tradition was the one selected by the founders of Grand Lodge on which to build up their system.”
“[In] modern revolutions the part played by the Jews cannot be ignored, and the influence they have exercised will be seen on examination to have been twofold—financial and occult. Throughout the Middle Ages it is as sorcerers and usurers… [and] under the more modern terms of magicians and loan-mongers, that we detect their presence behind the scenes of revolution from the seventeenth century onward. Wherever money was to be made out of social or political upheavals, wealthy Jews have been found to back the winning side… It was not then necessarily that Jews created these movements, but they knew how to make use of them for their own ends… furnishing money and information to the insurgents, acting as army contractors, loan-mongers, and super-spies— or to use the more euphonious term of Mr. Lucien Wolf, as ‘political intelligencers’ of extraordinary efficiency.”
…“That Weishaupt was not the originator of the system he named Illuminism will be already apparent to every reader of the present work… [It is] necessary to consult the writings of the Illuminati themselves… In Weishaupt’s masonic system, therefore, the designs of the Order with regard to religion are not confided to the mere Freemasons, but only to the Illuminati. Under the heading of ‘Higher Mysteries’ Weishaupt writes :
‘The man who is good for nothing better remains a Scottish Knight. If he is, however, a particularly industrious co-ordinator [Sammler], observer, worker, he becomes a Priest… If there are amongst these [Priests] high speculative intellects, they become Magi. These collect and put in order the higher philosophical system and work at the People’s Religion, which the Order will next give to the world. Should these high geniuses also be fit to rule the world, they become Regents. This is the last degree!’”
“…Weishaupt is careful not to shock the susceptibilities of his followers by any open repudiation of Christian doctrines ; on the contrary, he invokes Christ at every turn… But one must study Weishaupt’s writings as a whole to apprehend the true measure of his belief in Christ’s teaching.
…Weishaupt discovered, as others have done, that Christianity lends itself more readily to subversive ideas than any other religion. And in the passages which follow we find him adopting the old ruse of representing Christ as a Communist and as a secret-society adept…
Weishaupt thus contrives to give a purely political interpretation to Christ’s teaching…”
…“So admirably did this ruse succeed that we find Spartacus [Weishaupt] writing triumphantly :
… “We shall see later by documentary evidence that it never ceased to exist, and that twenty-five years later not only the Illuminati but Weishaupt himself were still as active as ever behind the scenes in Freemasonry… ‘{Says Weishaupt}… As in the spiritual Orders of the Roman Church, religion was, alas! only a pretence, so must our Order also in a nobler way try to conceal itself behind a learned society or something of the kind. A society concealed in this manner cannot be worked against. In case of a prosecution or of treason the superiors cannot be discovered. . We shall be shrouded in impenetrable darkness from spies and emissaries of other societies…’
—from the first half of Nesta Webster’s book, below, more history and radically edited-for-brevity text with the above quotes included:
“…[The] state of the world at the end of the Great War seemed to demand an enquiry into the present phase of the revolutionary movement, hence my attempt to follow its course up to modern times in World Revolution. And now before returning to that first cataclysm I have felt impelled to devote one more book to the Revolution as a whole by going this time further back into the past and attempting to trace its origins from the first century of the Christian era. For it is only by taking a general survey of the movement that it is possible to understand the causes of any particular phase of its existence. The French Revolution did not arise merely out of conditions or ideas peculiar to the eighteenth century, nor the Bolshevist Revolution out of political and social conditions in Russia or the teaching of Karl Marx. Both these explosions were produced by forces which, making use of popular suffering and discontent, had long been gathering strength for an onslaught not only on Christianity, but on all social and moral order.
“In the study of secret societies we have then a double line to follow—the course of associations enveloping themselves in secrecy for the pursuit of esoteric knowledge, and those using mystery and secrecy for an ulterior and, usually, a political purpose… And when men thus unite themselves in associations, a collective force is generated which may exercise immense influence over the world around. Hence the importance of secret societies…
“Now, from the earliest times groups of Initiates or ‘Wise Men’ have existed, claiming to be in possession of esoteric doctrines known as the ‘Mysteries,’ incapable of apprehension by the vulgar, and relating to the origin and end of man, the life of the soul after death, and the nature of God or the gods. It is this exclusive attitude which constitutes the essential difference between the Initiates of the ancient world and the great Teachers of religion with whom modern occultists seek to confound them…
Chapter IV, Three Centuries of Occultism
“It has been shown in the foregoing chapters that from very early times occult sects had existed for two purposes——esoteric and political. Whilst the Manicheans, the early Ismailis, the Bogomils, and the Luciferians had concerned themselves mainly with religious or esoteric doctrines, the later Ismailis, the Fatimites, the Karmathites, and Templars had combined secrecy and occult rites with the political aim of domination. We shall find this double tradition running through all the secret society movement up to the present day.
…“Whoever were the secret inspirers of magical and diabolical practices during the fourteenth to the eighteenth centuries, the evidence of the existence of Satanism during this long period is overwhelming and rests on the actual facts of history. Details quite as extravagant and revolting as those contained in the works of Eliphas Lévi or in Huysmans’s Ida-bas are given in documentary form by Margaret Alice Murray in her singularly passionless work relating principally to the witches of Scotland.
“The cult of evil is a reality—by whatever means we may seek to explain it. Eliphas Lévi, whilst denying the existence of Satan ‘as a superior personality and power,” admits this fundamental truth: ‘Evil exists; it is impossible to doubt it. We can do good or evil. There are beings who knowingly and voluntarily do evil.’ There are also beings who love evil…
[Rosicrucians (Ch.4) p83] In dealing with the question of Magic it is necessary to realize that although to the world in general the word is synonymous with necromancy, it does not bear this significance in the language of occultism, particularly the occultism of the sixteenth and seventeenth centuries. Magic at this date was a term employed to cover many branches of investigation which Robert Fludd, the English Rosicrucian, classified under various headings, of which the first three are as follows: (1) ‘Natural Magic, . . . that most occult and secret department of physics by which the mystical properties of natural substances are extracted’; (2) Mathematical Magic, which enables adepts in the art to ‘construct marvellous machines by means of their geometrical knowledge’ ; whilst (3) Venefic Magic ‘is familiar with potions, philtres, and with various preparations of poisons.’
“It is obvious that all these have now passed into the realms ofscience and are no longer regarded as magical arts ; but the further categories enumerated by Fludd and comprised under the general heading of Necromantic Magic retain the popular sense of the term. These are described as (1). Goetic, which consists in ‘diabolical commerce with unclean spirits, in rites of criminal curiosity, in illicit songs and invocations, and in the evocation of the souls of the dead’; (2) Maleficent, which is the adjuration of the devils by the virtue of Divine Names ; and (3) Theurgic, purporting ‘to be governed by good angels and the Divine Will, but its wonders are most frequently performed by evil spirits, who assume the names of God and of the angels.’ (4) The last species of magic is the Thaumaturgic, begetting illusory phenomena; by this art the Magi produced their phantoms and other marvels.” To this list might be added Celestial Magic, or knowledge dealing with the influence of the heavenly bodies, on which astrology is based… The Rosicrucians appear to have been the outcome both of this Cabalistic movement and of the teachings of Paracelsus…
“The ‘Grand Legend’ of Rosicrucianism rests, however, on no historical evidence ; there is, in fact, not the least reason to suppose that any such person as Christian Rosenkreutz ever existed. The Illuminatus von Knigge in the eighteenth century asserted that : ‘It is now recognized amongst enlightened men that no real Rosicrucians have existed, but that the whole of what is contained in the Fama and the Universal Reformation of the World (another Rosicrucian pamphlet which appeared in the same year) was only a subtle allegory of Valentine Andrea, of which afterwards partly deceivers (such as the Jesuits) and partly visionaries made use in order to realize this dream!’ What, then, was the origin of the name Rose-Cross? According to one Rosicrucian tradition, the word ‘Rose’ does not derive from the flower depicted on the Rosicrucian cross, but from the Latin word ros, signifying ‘dew,’ which was supposed to be the most powerful solvent of gold, whilst crux, the cross, was the chemical hieroglyphic for ‘ light.’
…[p95] For since, as has been said, the intellectual chiefs from whom the poisoners derived their inspiration were men versed in chemistry, in science, in physics, and the treatment of diseases, and since, further, they included alchemists and people professing to be in possession of the Philosopher’s Stone, their resemblance with the Rosicrucians is at once apparent…
[Origins of Freemasonry (Chapter V)p102]
“Masons were to be ‘true men to God and the Holy Church,’ also to the masters that they served, They were to be honest in their manner of life and ‘to do no villainy whereby the Craft or the Science may be slandered.’ … The date at which Eckert, like Yarker, places the introduction of [cabalistic] Judaic elements is the time of the Crusades.
“But whilst recognizing that modern Craft Masonry is largely founded on the Cabala, it is necessary to distinguish between the different Cabalas. For by this date no less than three Cabalas appear to have existed: firstly, the ancient secret tradition of the patriarchs handed down from the Egyptians through the Greeks and Romans, and possibly through the Roman Collegia to the Craft Masons of Britain; secondly, the Jewish version of this tradition, the first Cabala of the Jews, in no way incompatible with Christianity, descending from Moses, David, and Solomon to the Essenes and the more enlightened Jews ; and thirdly, the perverted Cabala, mingled by the Rabbis with magic, barbaric superstitions, and—after the death of Christ—with anti-Christian legends.
…[p110] “It is certainly easier to believe that the Judaic traditions were introduced to the masons by the Templars and grafted on to the ancient lore that the masonic guilds had inherited from the Roman Collegia.
“That some connexion existed between the Templars and the working masons is indicated by the new influence that entered into building at this period. A modern Freemason comparing ‘the beautifully designed and deep-cut marks of the true Gothic period, say circa 1150-1350,’ with the careless and roughly executed marks, many of them mere scratches, of later periods,’ points out that ‘the Knights Templar rose and fell with that wonderful development of architecture.’ The same writer goes on to show that some of the most important masonic symbols, the equilateral triangle and the Mason’s square surmounting two pillars, came through from Gothic times. Yarker asserts that the level, the flaming star, and the Tau cross; which have since passed into the symbolism of Freemasonry may be traced to the Knights Templar, as also the five-pointed star in Salisbury Cathedral, the double triangle in Westminster Abbey, Jachin and Boaz, the circle and the pentagon in the masonry of the fourteenth century, Yarker cites later, in 1556, the eye and crescent moon, the three stars and the ladder of five steps, as further evidences of Templar influence. ‘The Templars were large builders, and Jacques du Molay alleged the zeal of his Order in decorating churches in the process against him in 1310; hence the alleged connexion of Templary and Freemasonry is bound to have a substratum of truth.’
“Moreover, according to a masonic tradition, an alliance definitely took place between the Templars and the masonic guilds at this period. During the proceedings taken against the Order of the Temple in France it is said that Pierre d’Aumont and seven other Knights escaped to Scotland in the guise of working masons and landed in the Island of Mull. On St. John’s Day, 1307, they held their first chapter. Robert Bruce then took them under his protection, and seven years later they fought under his standard at Bannockburn against Edward II, who had suppressed their Order in England…
“After the death of Jacques du Molay, some Scottish Templars having become apostates, at the instigation of Robert Bruce ranged themselves under the banners of a new Order instituted by this prince and in which the receptions were based on those of the Order of the Temple. It is there that we must seek the origin of Scottish Masonry and even that of the other masonic rites, The Scottish Templars were excommunicated in 1324 by Larmenius, who declared them to be Templi desertores and the Knights of St. John of Jerusalem, Dominiorum Militia spoliatores, placed forever outside the pale of the Temple: Extra girum Templi, nunc et in futurum, volo, dico e jubeo. A similar anathema has since been launched by several Grand Masters against Templars who were rebellious to legitimate authority. From the schism that was introduced into Scotland a number of sects took birth…
[p118] “Templarism and Rosicrucianism appear to have been always closely connected, a fact which is not surprising since both derive from a common source—the traditions of the near East.
This brings us to an alternative theory concerning the channel through which Eastern doctrines, and particularly Cabalism, found their way into Freemasonry. For it must be admitted that one obstacle to the complete acceptance of the theory of the Templar succession exists, namely, that although the Judaic element cannot be traced further back than the Crusades, neither can it with certainty be pronounced to have come into existence during the three centuries that followed after.
…“One of the earliest and most eminent precursors of Freemasonry is said to have been Francis Bacon. As we have already seen, Bacon is recognized to have been a Rosicrucian, and that the secret philosophical doctrine he professed was closely akin to Freemasonry is clearly apparent in his New Atlantis, ‘The reference to the ‘Wise Men of the Society of Solomon’s House’ cannot be a mere coincidence. The choice of Atlantis—the legendary island supposed to have been submerged by the Atlantic Ocean in the remote past—would suggest that Bacon had some knowledge of a secret tradition descending from the earliest patriarchs of the human race, whom, like the modern writer Le Plongeon, he imagined to have inhabited the Western hemisphere and to have been the predecessors of the Egyptian initiates. Le Plongeon, however, places this early seat of the mysteries still further West than the Atlantic Ocean, in the region of Mayax and Yucatan.
“Bacon further relates that this tradition was preserved in its pure form by certain of the Jews, who, whilst accepting the Cabala, rejected its anti-Christian tendencies. Thus in this island of Bensalem there are Jews ‘of a far differing disposition from the Jews in other parts, For whereas they hate the name of Christ, and have a secret inbred rancour against the people amongst whom they live; these contrariwise give unto our Saviour many high attributes,’ but at the same time they believe ‘ that Moses by a secret Cabala ordained the laws of Bensalem which they now use, and that when the Messiah should come and sit on His throne at Jerusalem, the King of Bensalem should sit at His feet, whereas other kings should keep at a great distance,’ This passage is of particular interest as showing that Bacon recognized the divergence between the ancient secret tradition descending from Moses and the perverted Jewish Cabala of the Rabbis, and that he was perfectly aware of the tendency even among the best of Jews to turn the former to the advantage of their Messianic dreams.
[p122]…There is, however, a third channel through which the Judaic legends of Freemasonry may have penetrated to the Craft, namely, the Rabbis of the seventeenth century. The Jewish writer Bernard Lazare has declared that ‘ there were Jews around the cradle of Freemasonry’, and if this statement is applied to the period preceding the institution of Grand Lodge in 1717 it certainly finds confirmation in fact. Thus it is said that in the preceding century the coat-of-arms now used by Grand Lodge had been designed by an Amsterdam Jew, Jacob Jehuda Leon Templo, colleague of Cromwell’s friend the Cabalist, Manasseh ben Israel. To quote Jewish authority on this question, Mr. Lucien Wolf writes that Templo ‘ had a monomania for . . . everything relating to the Temple of Solomon and the Tabernacle of the Wilderness. He constructed gigantic models of both these edifices.’ These he exhibited in London, which he visited in 1675 and earlier, and it seems not unreasonable to conclude that this may have provided a fresh source of inspiration to the Freemasons who framed the masonic ritual some forty years later. At any rate, the masonic coat-of-arms still used by Grand Lodge of England is undoubtedly of Jewish design… In other words, this vision, known to the Jews as the ‘Mercaba, belongs to the Cabala, where a particular interpretation is placed on each figure so as to provide an esoteric meaning not perceptible to the uninitiated. The masonic coat-of-arms is thus entirely Cabalistic; as is also the seal on the diplomas of Craft Masonry, where another Cabalistic figure, that of a man and woman combined, is reproduced.’
“Of the Jewish influence in Masonry after 1717 I shall speak later… The fact remains that when the ritual and constitutions of Masonry were drawn up in 1717, although certain fragments of the ancient Egyptian and Pythagorean doctrines were retained, the Judaic version of the secret tradition was the one selected by the founders of Grand Lodge on which to build up their system.
[German Templarism and French Illuminism (Chapter VII)p 152]
“Thus when in 1786 the Rite of Perfection was reorganized and rechristened the “Ancient and Accepted Scottish Rite ’’—always the same Scottish cover for Prussianism!—it is said to have been Frederick who conducted operations, drew up the new Constitutions of the Order, and rearranged the degrees so as to bring the total number up to thirty-three,’[#1 footnote] as follows
26. Prince of Mercy.
27. Sovereign Commander of the Temple. 28. Knight of the Sun.
29. Grand Scotch Knight of St. Andrew. 30. Grand Elect Knight of Kadosch.
31. Grand Inspector Inquisitor Commander. 32. Sublime Prince of the Royal Secret.
33. Sovereign Grand Inspector-General.
“In the last four degrees Frederick the Great and Prussia play an important part; in the thirtieth degree of Knight Kadosch, largely modelled on the Vehmgerichts, the Knights wear Teutonic crosses, the throne is surmounted by the double-headed eagle of Prussia, and the President, who is called Thrice Puissant Grand Master, represents Frederick himself; in the thirty-second degree of Sublime Prince of the Royal Secret, Frederick is described as the head of Continental Freemasonry ; in the thirty-third degree of Sovereign Grand Inspector General the jewel is again the double-headed eagle, and the Sovereign Grand Commander is Frederick, who at the time this degree was instituted figured with Philippe, Duc d’Orléans…
[French Illuminism, p164]
“Whilst Frederick the Great, the Freemasons, the Encyclopedists, and the Orléanistes were working on the material plane to undermine the Church and monarchy in France, another cult had arisen which by the middle of the century succeeded in insinuating itself into the lodges. This was a recrudescence of the old craze for occultism, which now spread like wildfire all over Europe from Bordeaux to St. Petersburg. During the reign of Anna of Courland (1730-40) the Russian Court was permeated with superstition, and professional magicians and charlatans of every kind were encouraged. The upper classes of Germany in the eighteenth century proved equally susceptible to the attractions of the supernatural, and princes desirous of long life or greater power eagerly pursued the quest of the Philosopher’s Stone, the ‘Elixir of Life,’ and evoked spirits under the direction of occultists in their Service.
“In France occultism, reduced to a system, adopted the outer forms of Masonry as a cover to the propagation of its doctrines. It was in 1754 that Martines de Pasqually (or Paschalis), a Rose-Croix Mason, founded his Order of Elus Cohens (Elected Priests), known later as the Martinistes or the French Iluminés… It was ‘this Cabalistic sect,’ the Martinistes, which now became the third great masonic power in France.
“The rite of the Martinistes was broadly divided into two classes, in the first of which was represented the fall of man and in the second his final restoration—a further variation on the masonic theme of a loss and a recovery. After the first three Craft degrees came the Cohen degrees of the same— Apprentice Cohen, Fellow Craft Cohen, and Master Cohen— then those of Grand Architect, Grand Elect of Zerubbabel or Knight of the East; but above these were concealed degrees leading up to the Rose-Croix, which formed the capstone of the edifice. Pasqually first established his rite at Marseilles, Toulouse, and Bordeaux, then in Paris, and before long Martiniste lodges spread all over France with the centre at Lyons under the direction of Willermoz, a prosperous merchant living there. From this moment other occult Orders sprang up in all directions. In 1760 Dom Pernetti founded his sect of “Illuminés d’Avignon”’ in that city, declaring himself a high initiate of Freemasonry and teaching the doctrines of Swedenborg. Later a certain Chastanier founded the ‘Illuminés Théosophes,’ a modified version of Pernetti’s rite; and in 1783 the Marquis de Thomé started a purified variety of Swedenborgianism under the name of ‘Rite of Swedenborg.’
“Beneath all these occult sects one common source of inspiration is to be found—the perverted and magical Cabala of the Jews, that conglomeration of wild theosophical imaginings and barbaric superstitions founded on ancient pagan cults and added to throughout seventeen centuries by succeeding generations of Jewish occultists. This influence is particularly to be detected in the various forms of the Rose-Croix degree, which in nearly all these associations forms the highest and most secret degree. The ritual of ‘the eminent Order of the Knights of the Black Eagle or Sovereigns of the RoseCroix,’ a secret and unpublished document of the eighteenth century, which differs entirely from the published rituals, explains that no one can attain to knowledge of the higher sciences without the ‘Clavicules de Salomon,’ of which the real secrets were never committed to print and which is said to contain the whole of Cabalistic science. The catechism of this same degree deals mainly with the transmutation of metals, the Philosopher’s Stone, etc.
“In the Rite of Perfection as worked in France and America this Cabalistic influence is shown in those degrees known under the name of the “ Ineffable Degrees,”’ derived from the Jewish belief in the mystery that surrounds the Ineffable Name of God. According to the custom of the Jews, the sacred name Jehovah or Jah-ve, composed of the four letters yod, he, vau, he, which formed the Tetragrammaton, was never to be pronounced by the profane, who were obliged to substitute for it the word ‘Adonai.’ The Tetragrammaton might only be uttered once a year on the Day of Atonement by the High Priest in the Holy of Holies amid the sound of trumpets and cymbals, which prevented the people from hearing it. It is said that in consequence of the people thus refraining from its utterance, the true pronunciation of the name was at last lost. The Jews further believed that the Tetragrammaton was possessed of unbounded powers. ‘He who pronounces it shakes heaven and earth and inspires the very angels with astonishment and terror.’ The Ineffable Name thus conferred miraculous gifts; it was engraved on the rod of Moses and enabled him to perform wonders, just as, according to the Toledot Yeshu, it conferred the same powers on Christ.
“This superstition was clearly a part of Rosicrucian tradition, for the symbol of the Tetragrammaton within a triangle, adopted by the masonic lodges, figures in Fludd’s Cabalistic system.’ In the ‘Ineffable degrees’ it was invested with all the mystic awe by which it is surrounded in Jewish theology, and, according to early American working: ‘Brothers and Companions of these degrees received the name of God as it was revealed to Enoch and were sworn to pronounce it but once in their lives.’
…“Under the guidance of these various sects of Illuminés a wave of occultism swept over France, and lodges everywhere became centres of instruction on the Cabala, magic, divination, alchemy, and theosophy; masonic ritesdegenerated into ceremonies for the evocation of spirits—women, who were now admitted to these assemblies, screamed, fainted, fell into convulsions, and lent themselves to experiments of the most horrible kind.
“By means of these occult practices the Illuminés in time became the third great masonic power in France, and the rival Orders perceived the expediency of joining forces. Accordingly in 1771 an amalgamation of all the masonic groups was effected at the new lodge of the Amis Réunis.
“The founder of this lodge was Savalette de Langes, Keeper of the Royal Treasury, Grand Officer of the Grand Orient, and a high initiate of Masonry—‘versed in all mysteries, in all the lodges, and in all the plots.’ In order to unite them he made his lodge a mixture of all sophistic, Martiniste, and masonic systems, ‘and as a bait to the aristocracy organized balls and concerts at which the adepts, male and female, danced and feasted, or sang of the beauties of their liberty…
[The Magicians, Ch.7, p172]
“The part played by magicians during the period preceding the French Revolution is of course a matter of common knowledge and has never been disputed by official history… The important point to realize is that just as the philosophers were all Freemasons, the principal magicians were not only Freemasons but members of occult secret societies. It is therefore not as isolated charlatans but as agents of some hidden power that we must regard the men whom we will now pass in a rapid survey…
[The Jewish Cabalists, (Chapter VIII) p176]
…[p178]… the revolutionary spirit has always existed independently of the Jews. In all times and in all countries there have been men born to make trouble as the sparks fly upward.
“Nevertheless, in modern revolutions the part played by the Jews cannot be ignored, and the influence they have exercised will be seen on examination to have been twofold—financial and occult. Throughout the Middle Ages it is as sorcerers and usurers that they incur the reproaches of the Christian world, and it is still in the same réle, under the more modern terms of magicians and loan-mongers, that we detect their presence behind the scenes of revolution from the seventeenth century onward. Wherever money was to be made out of social or political upheavals, wealthy Jews have been found to back the winning side; and wherever the Christian races have turned against their own institutions, Jewish Rabbis, philosophers, professors, and occultists have lent them their support. It was not then necessarily that Jews created these movements, but they knew how to make use of them for their own ends… furnishing money and information to the insurgents, acting as army contractors, loan-mongers, and super-spies— or to use the more euphonious term of Mr. Lucien Wolf, as “‘ political intelligencers ’’ of extraordinary efficiency. Thus Mr. Lucien Wolf, in referring to Carvajal, ‘ the great Jew of the Commonwealth,’ explains that ‘the wide ramifications of his commercial transactions and his relations with other Crypto-Jews all over the world placed him in an unrivalled position to obtain news of the enemies of the Commonwealth’…
[p180] “It is obvious that a “secret service’ of this kind rendered the Jews a formidable hidden power, the more so since their very existence was frequently unknown to the rest of the population around them… In all this it is impossible to follow any consecutive political plan; the role of the Jews seems to have been to support no cause consistently but to obtain a footing in every camp, to back any venture that offered a chance of profit. Yet mingled with these material designs were still their ancient Messianic dreams. It is curious to note that the same Messianic idea pervaded the Levellers, the rebels of the Commonwealth; such phrases as ‘Let Israel go free,’ ‘Israel’s restoration is now beginning,’ recur frequently in the literature of the sect… It is true that the Levellers were by profession Christian, but after the manner of the Bavarian Illuminati and of the Christian Socialists two centuries later, claiming Christ as the author of their Communistic and equalitarian doctrines: ‘For Jesus Christ, the Saviour of all Men, is the greatest, first, and truest Leveller that ever was spoken of in the world.’ The Levellers are said to have derived originally from the German Anabaptists; but Claudio Jannet, quoting German authorities, shows that there were Jews amongst the Anabaptists. ‘They were carried away by their hatred of the name of Christian and imagined that their dreams of the restoration of the kingdom of Israel would be realized amidst the conflagration.’ Whether this was so or not, it is clear that by the middle of the seventeenth century the mystical ideas of Judaism had penetrated into all parts of Europe. Was there then some Cabalistic centre from which they radiated ? Let us turn our eyes eastward and we shall see.
“Since the sixteenth century the great mass of Jewry had settled in Poland, and a succession of miracle-workers known by the name of Zaddikim or Ba’al Shems had arisen. The latter word, which signifies ‘Master of the Name,’ originated with the German Polish Jews and was derived from the Cabalistic belief in the miraculous use of the sacred name of Jehovah, known as the Tetragrammaton.
“According to Cabalistic traditions, certain Jews of peculiar sanctity or knowledge were able with impunity to make use of the Divine Name. A Ba’al Shem was therefore one who had acquired this power and employed it in writing amulets, invoking spirits, and prescribing cures for various diseases. Poland and particularly Podolia—which had not yet been ceded to Russia—became thus a centre of Cabalism where a series of extraordinary movements of a mystical kind followed each other. In 1666, when the Messianic era was still believed to be approaching, the whole Jewish world was convulsed by the sudden appearance of Shabbethai Zebi, the son of a poulterer in Smyrna named Mordecai, who proclaimed himself the promised Messiah and rallied to his support a huge following not only amongst the Jews of Palestine, Egypt, and Eastern Europe, but even the hard-headed Jews of the Continental bourses. Samuel Pepys in his Diary refers to the bets made amongst the Jews in London on the chances of ‘a certain person now in Smyrna’ being acclaimed King of the World and the true Messiah… The pretensions of Shabbethai, who took the title of ‘King of the Kings of the Earth,’ split Jewry in two; many Rabbis launched imprecations against him, and those who had believed in him were bitterly disillusioned when, challenged by the Sultan to prove his claim to be the Messiah by allowing poisoned arrows to be shot at him, he suddenly renounced the Jewish faith and proclaimed himself a Mohammedan. His conversion, however, appeared to be only partial, for ‘at times he would assume the role of a pious Mohammedan and revile Judaism; at others he would enter into relations with Jews as one of their own faith.’ By this means he retained the allegiance both of Moslems and of Jews. But the Rabbis, alarmed for the cause of Judaism, succeeded in obtaining his incarceration by the Sultan in a castle near Belgrade, where he died of colic in 1676.
“This prosaic ending to the career of the Messiah did not, however, altogether extinguish the enthusiasm of his followers, and the Shabbethan movement continued into the next century. In Poland Cabalism broke out with renewed energy; fresh Zaddikim and Ba’al Shems arose, the most noted of these being Israel of Podolia, known as Ba’al Shem Tob, or by the initial letters of this name, Besht, who founded his sect of Hasidim in 1740. Besht, whilst opposing bigoted Rabbinism and claiming the Zohar as his inspiration, did not, however, adhere strictly to the doctrine of the Cabala that the universe was an emanation of God, but evolved a form of Pantheism, declaring that the whole universe was God, that even evil exists in God since evil is not bad in itself but only in its relation to Man; sin therefore has no positive existence. As a result the followers of Besht, calling themselves the ‘New Saints,’ and at his death numbering no less than 40,000, threw aside not only the precepts of the Talmud, but all the restraints of morality and even decency.’
“…But the most important of these Cabalistic groups was that of the Frankists, who were sometimes known as the Zoharists or the Illuminated,’ from their adherence to the Zohar or book of Light, or in their birthplace Podolia as the Shabbethan Zebists, from their allegiance to the false Messiah of the preceding century—a heresy that had been ‘kept alive in secret circles which had something akin to a masonic organization.’ The founder of this sect was Jacob Frank, a brandy distiller profoundly versed in the doctrines of the Cabala, who in 1755 collected around him a large following in Podolia and lived in a style of oriental magnificence, maintained by vast wealth of which no one ever discovered the source. The persecution to which he was subjected by the Rabbis led the Catholic clergy to champion his cause, whereupon Frank threw himself on the mercy of the Bishop of Kaminick, and publicly burnt the Talmud, declaring that he recognized only the Zohar, which, he alleged, admitted the doctrine of the Trinity. Thus the Zoharists ‘claimed that they regarded the Messiah Deliverer as one of the three divinities, but failed to state that by the Messiah they meant Shabbethai Zebi.’ The Bishop was apparently deceived by this maneuvre, and in 1759 the Zoharites declared themselves converted to Christianity, and were baptized, including Frank himself, who took the name of Joseph. “The insincerity of the Frankists soon became apparent, however, for they continued to intermarry only among themselves and held Frank in reverence, calling him ‘The Holy Master.’ It soon became evident that, whilst openly embracing the Catholic faith, they had in reality retained their secret Judaism. Moreover, it was discovered that Frank endeavoured to pass as a Mohammedan in Turkey; ‘he was therefore arrested in Warsaw and delivered to the Church tribunal on the charge of feigned conversion to Christianity and the spreading of a pernicious heresy.’ Unlike his predecessor in apostasy, Shabbethai Zebi, Frank, however, came to no untimely end, but after his release from prison continued to prey on the credulity of Christians and frequently travelled to Vienna with his daughter, Eve, who succeeded in duping the pious Maria Theresa. But here also ‘the sectarian plans of Frank were found out,’ and he was obliged to leave Austria. Finally he settled at Offenbach near Frankfurt, where, adopting the title of Baron von Offenbach and supported by liberal subsidies from the other Jews, he resumed his former splendor.
[p184] “Now, it is impossible to study the careers of these magicians in Poland and Germany without being reminded of their counterparts in France. The family likeness between the Baron von Offenbach,’ the ‘Comte de Saint-Germain’ and the ‘Comte de Cagliostro’ is at once apparent. All claimed to perform miracles, all lived with extraordinary magnificence on wealth derived from an unknown source, one was certainly a Jew, the other two were believed to be Jews, and all were known to be Cabalists. Moreover, all three spent many years in Germany, and it was whilst Frank was living as Baron von Offenbach close to Frankfurt that Cagliostro was received into the Order of the Stricte Observance in a subterranean chamber a few miles from that city. Earlier in his career he was known to have visited Poland, whence Frank derived. Are we to believe that all these men, so strangely alike in their careers, living at the same time and in the same places, were totally unconnected? Is it a mere coincidence that this group of Jewish Cabalist miracle-workers should have existed in Germany and Poland at the precise moment that the Cabalist magicians sprang up in France? Is it again a coincidence that Martines Pasqually founded his ‘Kabbalistic sect’ of Illuminés in 1754 and Jacob Frank his sect of Zoharites (or Illuminated) in 1755?
“[An] extraordinary personage, known as the “ Ba’al Shem of London,” was a Cabalistic Jew named Hayyim Samuel Jacob Falk, also called Dr. Falk, Falc, de Falk, or Falkon, born in 1708, probably in Podolia. The further fact that he was regarded by his fellow-Jews as an adherent of the Messiah Shabbethai Zebi clearly shows his connexion with the Podolian Zoharites… in Falk’s conception of the ideal social order and his indictment of what he calls ‘bourgeois society’ we find the clue to movements of immense importance. Has not the system of the ant-heap or the beehive proved, as I have pointed out elsewhere, the model on which modern Anarchists, from Proudhon onwards, have formed their schemes for the reorganization of human life? Has not the idea of the ‘World State,’ ‘The Universal Republic’ become the war-cry of the Internationalist Socialists, the Grand Orient Masons, the Theosophists, and the world-revolutionaries of our own day?
Was Falk, then, a revolutionary? This again will be disputed. Falk may have been a Cabalist, a Freemason, a high initiate, but what proof is there that he had any connexion with the leaders of the French Revolution? Let us turn again to the Jewish Encyclopedia ;
Falk …is… believed to have given the Duc d’Orléans, to ensure his succession to the throne, a talisman consisting of a ring, which Philippe Egalité before mounting the scaffold is said to have sent to a Jewess, Juliet Goudchaux, who passed it on to his son, subsequently Louis Philippe… [p194] One fact, then, looms out of the darkness that envelops the secret power behind the Orléanist conspiracy, one fact of supreme importance, and based moreover on purely Jewish evidence: the Duke was in touch with Falk when in London and Falk supported his scheme of usurpation. Thus behind the arch-conspirator of the revolution stood ‘the Chief of all the Jews.’ Is it here perhaps, in Falk’s ‘chests of gold’ that we might find the source of some of those loans raised in London by the Duc d’Orléans to finance the riots of the Revolution, so absurdly described as ‘‘l’or de Pitt ’’ ? The direct connexion between the attack on the French monarchy and Jewish circles in London is further shown by the curious sequel to the Gordon Riots… But already a vaster genius than Falk or Cagliostro, than Pasqually or Savalette de Langes, had arisen, who, gathering into his hands the threads of all the conspiracies, was able to weave them together into a gigantic scheme for the destruction of France and of the world.
The Bavarian Illuminati, Chapter IX, p196
[Origin of the Illuminati]
…“That Weishaupt was not the originator of the system he named Illuminism will be already apparent to every reader of the present work; it has needed, in fact, all the foregoing chapters to trace the source of Weishaupt’s doctrines throughout the history of the world. From these it will be evident that men aiming at the overthrow of the existing social order and of all accepted religion had existed from the earliest times, and that in the Cainites, the Carpocratians, the Manicheans, the Batinis, the Fatimites, and the Karmathites many of Weishaupt’s ideas had already been foreshadowed. To the Manicheans, in fact, the word ‘Illuminati’ may be traced— ‘gloriantur Manichei se de caelo illuminatos.’
It is in the sect of Abdullah ibn Maymiin that we must seek the model for Weishaupt’s system of organization. Thus de Sacy has described in the following words the manner of enlisting proselytes by the Ismailis:
‘They proceeded to the admission and initiation of new proselytes only by degrees and with great reserve; for, as the sect had at the same time a political object and ambitions, its interest was above all to have a great number of partisans in all places and in all classes of society. It was necessary therefore to suit themselves to the character, the temperament, and the prejudices of the greater number; what one revealed to some would have revolted others and alienated forever spirits less bold and consciences more easily alarmed.’
This passage exactly describes the methods laid down by Weishaupt for his ‘Insinuating Brothers’–the necessity of proceeding with caution in the enlisting of adepts, of not revealing to the novice doctrines that might be likely to revolt him, of ‘speaking sometimes in one way, sometimes in another, so that one’s real purpose should remain impenetrable ” to members of the inferior grades.
“[p208]…[It is] necessary to consult the writings of the Illuminati themselves, which are contained in the following works ;
1. Einige Originalschriften des Illuminatenordens (Munich, 1787).
2. Nachirag von weitern Originalschriften, etc. (Munich, 1787).
3. Die neuesten Arbeiten des Spartacus und Philo in dem INuminaten-Orden (Munich, 1794).
“All these consist in the correspondence and papers of the Order which were seized by the Bavarian Government at the houses of two of the members, Zwack and Bassus, and published by order of the Elector. The authenticity of these documents has never been denied even by the Illuminati themselves ; Weishaupt, in his published defence, endeavoured only to explain away the most incriminating passages. The publishers, moreover, were careful to state at the beginning of the first volume: ‘Those who might have any doubts on the authenticity of this collection may present themselves at the Secret Archives here, where, on request, the original documents will be laid before them.’ This precaution rendered all dispute impossible.
“Setting Barruel and Robison entirely aside, we shall now see from the evidence of their own writings… [p210] The perfidy of the Illuminati with regard to the Freemasons is therefore apparent. Even Mounier, who set out to refute Barruel on the strength of the information supplied to him by the Illuminatus Bode, admits their duplicity in this respect.
“Weishaupt [says Mounier] made the acquaintance of a Hanoverian, the Baron von Knigge, a famous intriguer, long practised in the charlatanism of lodges of Freemasons. On his advice new degrees were added to the old ones, and it was resolved to profit by Freemasonry whilst profoundly despising it. They decided that the degrees of Entered Apprentice, Fellow Craft, Master Mason, and Scotch Knight should be added to those of the Illuminati, and that they would boast of possessing exclusively the real secrets of the Freemasons and affirm that Illuminism was the real primitive Freemasonry.
‘The papers of the Order seized in Bavaria and published,’ Mounier says again, show that ‘the Illuminati employed the forms of Freemasonry, but that they considered it in itself, apart from their own degrees, as a puerile absurdity and that they detested the Rose-Croix.’
…[p212] … Weishaupt is careful in general to exhibit the face of a benign philosopher and even of a Christian evangelist ; it is only at moments that he drops the mask and reveals the grinning satyr behind it. Accordingly in the published statutes of the Illuminati no hint of subversive intentions will be found; indeed the ‘Obligation’ expressly states that ‘nothing against the State, religion, or morals is undertaken.’
Yet what is Weishaupt’s real political theory? No other than that of modern Anarchy, that man should govern himself and rulers should be gradually done away with. But he is careful to deprecate all ideas of violent revolution—the process is to be accomplished by the most peaceful methods. Let us see how gently he leads up to the final conclusion : The first stage in the life of the whole human race is savagery, rough nature, in which the family is the only society, and hunger and thirst are easily satisfied, … in which man enjoys the two most excellent goods, Equality and Liberty, to their fullest extent. In these circumstances … health was his usual condition. Happy men, who were not yet enough enlightened to lose their peace of mind and to be conscious of the unhappy mainsprings and causes of our misery, love of power… envy… ilnesses and all the results of imagination.
…“It will be seen that the whole of Weishaupt’s theory was in reality a new rendering of the ancient secret tradition relating to the fall of man and the loss of his primitive felicity; but whilst the ancient religions taught the hope of a Redeemer who should restore man to his former state, Weishaupt looks to man alone for his restoration. ‘Men,’ he observes, ‘no longer loved men but only such and such men. The word was quite lost…’ Thus in Weishaupt’s masonic system the ‘lost word’ is ‘Man,’ and its recovery is interpreted by the idea that Man should find himself again. Further on Weishaupt goes on to show how ‘the redemption of the human race is to be brought about.’
“These means are secret schools of wisdom, these were from all time the archives of Nature and of human rights, through them will Man be saved from his Fall, princes and nations will disappear without violence from the earth, the human race will become one family and the world the abode of reasonable men. Morality alone will bring about this change imperceptibly. Every father of a family will be, as formerly Abraham and the patriarchs, the priest and unfettered lord of his family, and Reason will be the only code of Man. This is one of our greatest secrets…
“But whilst completely eliminating any idea of divine power outside Man and framing his system on purely political lines, Weishaupt is careful not to shock the susceptibilities of his followers by any open repudiation of Christian doctrines ; on the contrary, he invokes Christ at every turn and sometimes even in language so apparently earnest and even beautiful that one is almost tempted to believe in his sincerity. Thus he writes :
‘This our great and unforgettable Master, Jesus of Nazareth, appeared at a time in the world when it was sunk in depravity. … The first followers of His teaching are not wise men but simple, chosen from the lowest class of the people, so as to show that His teaching should be possible and comprehensible to all classes and conditions of men. . . . He carries out this teaching by means of the most blameless life in conformity with it, and seals and confirms this with His blood and death. These laws which He shows as the way to salvation are only two: love of God and love of one’s neighbour ; more He asks of no one.’
[p216] So far no Lutheran pastor could have expressed himself better. But one must study Weishaupt’s writings as a whole to apprehend the true measure of his belief in Christ’s teaching.
Now, as we have already seen, his first idea was to make Fire Worship the religion of Illuminism; the profession of Christianity therefore appears to have been an after-thought. Evidently Weishaupt discovered, as others have done, that Christianity lends itself more readily to subversive ideas than any other religion. And in the passages which follow we find him adopting the old ruse of representing Christ as a Communist and as a secret-society adept…
Weishaupt thus contrives to give a purely political interpretation to Christ’s teaching…
In this manner Weishaupt demonstrates that ‘‘ Freemasonry is hidden Christianity, at least my explanations of the hieroglyphics fit this perfectly ; and in the way in which I explain Christianity no one need be ashamed to be a Christian, for I leave the name and substitute for it Reason.’’ But this is of course only the secret of what Weishaupt calls “real Freemasonry ”’ * in contradistinction to the official kind, which he regards as totally unenlightened: ‘‘ Had not the noble and elect remained in the background . . . new depravity would have broken out in the human race, and through Regents, Priests, and Freemasons Reason would have been banished from the earth.”
In Weishaupt’s masonic system, therefore, the designs of the Order with regard to religion are not confided to the mere Freemasons, but only to the Illuminati. Under the heading of “‘ Higher Mysteries ’’ Weishaupt writes :
‘The man who is good for nothing better remains a Scottish Knight. If he is, however, a particularly industrious co-ordinator [Sammler], observer, worker, he becomes a Priest… . If there are amongst these [Priests] high speculative intellects, they become Magi. These collect and put in order the higher philosophical system and work at the People’s Religion, which the Order will next give to the world. Should these high geniuses also be fit to rule the world, they become Regents. This is the last degree!’
“Philo (the Baron von Knigge) also throws an interesting light on the religious designs of the Illuminati. In a letter to Cato he explains the necessity of devising a system that will satisfy fanatics and freethinkers alike: ‘So as to work on both these classes of men and unite them, we must find an explanation to the Christian religion . . . make this the secret of Freemasonry and turn it to our purpose.’ Philo continues :
‘We say then: Jesus wished to introduce no new religion, but only to restore natural religion and reason to their old rights. Thereby he wished to unite men in a great universal association, and through the spread of a wiser morality, enlightenment, and the combating of all prejudices to make them capable of governing themselves ; so the secret meaning of his teaching was to lead men without revolution to universal liberty and equality. There are many passages in the Bible which can be made use of and explained, and so ail quarrelling between the sects ceases if one can find a reasonable meaning in the teaching of Jesus—be it true or not. As, however, this simple religion was afterwards distorted, so were these teachings imparted to us through Disciplinam Arcani and finally through Freemasonry, and all masonic hieroglyphics can be explained with this object. Spartacus has collected very good data for this and I have myself added to them, . .. and so I have got both degrees ready. …
Now therefore that people see that we are the only real and true Christians,we can say a word more against priests and princes, but I have so managed that after previous tests I can receive pontiffs and kings in this degree. In the higher Mysteries we must then (a) disclose the pious fraud and reveal from all writings the origin of all religious lies and their connexion…’
…“So admirably did this ruse succeed that we find Spartacus [Weishaupt] writing triumphantly :
“It is on the ‘‘illuminized”’ clergy and professors that Weishaupt counts principally for the work of the Order. Through the influence of the Brothers {he writes}, the Jesuits have been removed from all professorships, and the University of Ingoldstadt has been quite cleansed of them…
Thus the way is cleared for Weishaupt’s adepts.
…“But religion and Freemasonry are not the only means by which Illuminism can be spread.
We must consider {says Weishaupt}, ‘how we can begin to work under another form. If only the aim is achieved, it does not matter under what cover it takes place, and a cover is always necessary. For in concealment lies a great part of our strength. For this reason we must always cover ourselves with the name of another society. The lodges that are under Freemasonry are in the meantime the most suitable cloak for our high purpose, because the world is already accustomed to expect nothing great from them which merits attention. … As in the spiritual Orders of the Roman Church, religion was, alas! only a pretence, so must our Order also in a nobler way try to conceal itself behind a learned society or something of the kind. A society concealed in this manner cannot be worked against. In case of a prosecution or of treason the superiors cannot be discovered. . We shall be shrouded in impenetrable darkness from spies and emissaries of other societies…’
[p230]… As the contemporary de Luchet has expressed it: The system of the Iluminés is not to embrace the dogmas of a sect, but to turn all errors to its advantage, to concentrate in itself everything that men have invented in the way of duplicity and imposture.
More than this, Illuminism was not only the assemblage of all errors, of all ruses, of all subtleties of a theoretic kind, it was also an assemblage of all practical methods for rousing men to action. For in the words of von Hammer on the Assassins, that cannot be too often repeated :
‘Opinions are powerless so long as they only confuse the brain without arming the hand. Scepticism and free-thinking as long as they occupied only the minds of the indolent and philosophical have caused the ruin of no throne. … It is nothing to the ambitious man what people believe, but it is everything to know how he may turn them for the execution of his projects.’
“This was what Weishaupt so admirably understood; he knew how to take from every association, past and present, the portions he required and to weld them all into a working system of terrible efficiency—the disintegrating doctrines of the Gnostics and Manicheans, of the modern philosophers and Encyclopedists, the methods of the Ismailis and the Assassins, the discipline of the Jesuits and Templars, the organization and secrecy of the Freemasons, the philosophy of Machiavelli, the mystery of the Rosicrucians—he knew, moreover, how to enlist the right elements in all existing associations as well as isolated individuals and turn them to his purpose. So in the army of the Illuminati we find men of every shade of thought, from the poet Goethe to the meanest intriguer—lofty idealists, social reformers, visionaries, and at the same time the ambitious, the rancorous, and the disgruntled, men swayed by lust or embittered by grievances, all these differing in their aims yet by Weishaupt’s admirable system of watertight compartments precluded from a knowledge of these differences and all marching, unconsciously or not, towards the same goal.
“Although this was not the invention of Weishaupt but had been foreshadowed many centuries earlier in the East, it was Weishaupt, so far as we know, who reduced it to a working system for the West-—-a system which has been adhered to by succeeding groups of world-revolutionaries up to the present day. It is for this reason that I have quoted at length the writings of the Illuminati—all the ruses, all the hypocrisy, all the subtle methods of camouflage which characterized the Order will be found again in the insidious propaganda both of the modern secret societies and the open revolutionary organizations whose object is to subvert all order, all morality, and all religion.
[p234]… Weishaupt had a very definite object in view, which was to gain control of all Freemasonry, and though he himself was not present at the [1782 Wilhelmsbad] Congress, his coadjutor Knigge, who had been travelling about Germany proclaiming himself the reformer of Freemasonry, presented himself at Wilhelmsbad, armed with full authority from Weishaupt, and succeeded in enrolling a number of magistrates, savants, ecclesiastics, and ministers of state as Illuminati and in allying himself with the deputies of Saint-Martin and Willermoz. Vanquished by this powerful rival, the Stricte Observance ceased temporarily to exist and Illuminism was left in possession of the field.
… “We shall see later by documentary evidence that it never ceased to exist, and that twenty-five years later not only the Illuminati but Weishaupt himself were still as active as ever behind the scenes in Freemasonry…
[p239] as early as 1789, before the [French] Revolution had really developed, de Luchet uttered these words of warning: ‘Deluded people . . . learn that there exists a conspiracy in favour of despotism against liberty, of incapacity against talent, of vice against virtue, of ignorance against enlightenment. . . . This society aims at governing the world… . Its object is universal domination. This plan may seem extraordinary, incredible—yes, but not chimerical . .. no such calamity has ever yet afflicted the world.’
Under the right conditions of saturated brine and heat, salt rapidly forms within minutes into hollow upside-down pyramid ‘boats’. They must be gently skimmed off the surface before they fill with brine and sink. Industrial pyramid (’flake’) salt, or hopper crystals, is hand-harvested and sold as fleur de sel.
Hopper Growth of Salt Crystals –[2018]– “…We show that the sodium chloride crystals that grow very fast from a highly supersaturated solution form a peculiar form of hopper crystal consisting of a series of connected miniature versions of the original cubic crystal…in [a] cascade… The morphology of such hopper crystals is common to many substances and minerals, such as bismuth, quartz (called skeletal or fenster crystals), gold, calcite, and halite (NaCl)… Sodium chloride is a key factor in many industrial and geological processes, e.g., in the food industry, oil well drilling, CO2 sequestration, erosion of rocks, sodification of soils, and weathering of historical monuments. Equilibrium NaCl crystals are well-known to have a cubic shape because the underlying crystal lattice has a cubic close-packed (CCP) structure; however, both in nature and in laboratory experiments, hopper shapes are often encountered…” https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.goc/pmc/articles/PMC5994728/
And with a little something added, many more kinds of hoppers can be created –look to the right (below) for another form of salt:
The tendency of a crystal type to form varied and repeatable structures from a basic lattice template is called a “habit” :
What Is Crystal Habit?
“Crystal habit is the tendency for specimens of a mineral to repeatedly grow into characteristic shapes. These shapes are influenced by the atomic structure of the mineral, but they can also be influenced by the environment of crystal growth. Regardless of influence, crystal habit shapes can be characteristic of the mineral and displayed by many specimens of that mineral from diverse locations… habit names are often adjectives that help convey the shape of a crystal or a group of crystals. Bladed, cubic, fibrous, granular, prismatic, and radiating are names of crystal habits that quickly convey a generalized geometric appearance.” https://geology.com/minerals/crystal-habit/
Biologist Rupert Sheldrake, in his banned TEDx talk of 2013, expressed some interesting thoughts about habits:
…“In an evolving universe I think a much better idea is the metaphor of habits. I think the habits of nature evolve and the regularities of nature are habitual. This was an idea put forth at the beginning of the 20th century by philosopher C.S. Pearce and…one which I myself have developed into a scientific hypothesis, the hypothesis of Morphic Resonance which is the basis of these evolving habits… Every species has a kind of collective memory. Even crystals do. This theory predicts that if you make a new kind of crystal for the first time, the very first time you make it, it won’t have an existing habit. But once it crystallizes then the next time you make it there’ll be an influence from the first crystals to the second ones all over the world by morphic resonance—it will crystallize a bit easier. The third time there’ll be an influence from the first and second crystals. There is, in fact, good evidence that new compounds get easier to crystallize all around the world, just as this theory would predict. It also predicts that if you you train animals to learn a new trick, for example rats learn a new trick in London, then all around the world rats of the same breed should learn the trick quicker just because rats have learned it [elsewhere] and surprisingly there’s already evidence that this actually happens. And that’s my own hypothesis of Morphic Resonance in a nutshell; Everything depends on evolving habits and not on fixed laws.” https://rumble.com/v3dymyu-the-science-delusion-rupert-sheldrake-banned-tedx-talk.html
The pyramids of Meroe Sudan along the Nile are a good match for the natural varieties of salt hoppers, and even though the large Giza pyramids are ‘too perfect’ by comparison, their angular precision of 52 degrees slope matches English gematria for S-A-L-T (19+1+12+20=52).
Still a wonder…
“The Great Pyramid of Giza is the only Pyramid discovered anywhere on the planet with eight sides… Curiously, this phenomenon is nearly invisible from the ground and can best be appreciated from the air, above the Pyramid but only under proper lighting conditions… [allegedly] at either dawn or sunset on the spring and autumn equinoxes when the sun casts shadows on the Pyramid.” https://curiosmos.com/the-great-pyramid-of-giza-is-the-only-known-eight-sided-pyramid-in-existence/ ; and according to the lore, nobody noticed the indentations until RAF pilot P. Groves overflew the site in 1940.
Geometry alone, however, could tell us that an 8-face square-base pyramid is a common type, suggesting (to me, a non-geometer) at least three modes of measurement; stereographic projection of a sphere on a plane (3D to 2D), octahedral(3D) and octagonal(2D) sectioning, and hypercubes in four-dimensions. In other words, the Great Pyramid is a crystal in space, and as many investigators promote, by measurement, a representation of the Earth.
The properties of Giza, though, attracting me the most these days lay in the likeness to salt ever since I observed the appearance of salts in Covid vaccine sample pictures (see Corona the Crow part Four). I’m wondering if and how the great pyramids might also encode chemical –biochemical—information in their complex metrology. The first space crystals that I heard of, literally grown in space aboard the International Space Station, were hoppers of salt made from the astronauts’ own galley supply.
Thousands of crystal types and maybe tens-of-thousands of space crystal experiments have been made in microgravity. Here’s one composite image of protein and virus crystals brought back to Earth.

NASA is looking for The Perfect Crystal, enlisting select schools at the highschool level to participate in its Perfect Crystal mission.
Among the curious, possibly perfect space crystals is the shape-shifting Tobacco Mosaic Virus (TMV) that produces a variety of shape-shifting offspring. Both a-b samples below are called virtovirus, versions of Satellite TMV spun-off from its mother.
The ‘a’ form is shown twice in the collage from Space Safety mag– and ‘b’ reminds me of The Andromeda Strain and its author, Michael Crichton.
The Andromeda Strain, 1971
Tobacco Mosaic Virus was the first ‘mother’ (solution) ever to be crystallized, winning a 1936 Nobel Prize for its maker Wendall Stanley. It is still said to be the most-studied plant virus in science, and perhaps as Morphic Resonance suggests, evolving.
Because it bears repeating: TMV crystals were grown from conventionally-derived filtrate, the clear liquid end-product from vacuum-pumping a slurry of biological specimens through a porcelain filter. For many decades after the 1890s, “filtrate” and “virus” were synonymous until crystallization took hold and crystals became the new virus and the first nanotechnology, co-evolving with electron microscopes. See “Planting Viruses From Plants” for more TMV story.
In a nutshell, this 29 second video displays the basic growth of perfect crystals in microgravity.
For 3 minutes of your time, see a more sophisticated display of space crystals still suitable for little children. Tell them this is how to make a virus, as Francis Crick said, because “any child can make a virus.”
Unmanned rockets and satellites have been used by the US since the 1960s to grow space crystals, setup as boxed-in automata to be recovered after flight. Details of these projects have been hard to come by but contemporary equivalents are occurring now all over the world. In effect, The Andromeda Strain scenario, referencing Crichton’s 1969 book concerning a crashed satellite and release of its exobiologic content, was plausible in its own time. Crichton, having recently graduated from Harvard Medical with an MD, was then at the Salk Institute in San Diego county on a two-year fellowship (1969-70), “hired” by appearances for his talent writing science fiction—except The Andromeda Strain was his first work of science fiction and first published under his own name. Context within the Salk Institute itself during those two years only adds to the mystery of Crichton’s stay, his phenomenal writer’s success, and future choices of subject matter. Despite his training, Michael Crichton never wanted and never did practice medicine.
The Salk, built atop a bluff overlooking the Pacific on Torrey Pines mesa in La Jolla (‘the Jewel’), was planned in 1958 as a citadel of “metabiology” where raw biologic resources would become transformed into advanced new metamaterials. Joining institutional partnerships on the mesa that included Scripps Oceanographic (under Roger Revelle) and General Atomics (subsid of General Dynamics specializing in nuclear reactors, under Frederic deHoffmann), a new University of California San Diego was built and opened there in 1963, complementing the Life Science/nuclear theme of the consortium. In 1970, Freddy deHoffmann, former assistant to Edward Teller at Los Alamos, joined the board of the Salk and became its longtime president until death by AIDS in 1988. At the hand of Roger Revelle (‘mentor’ to Al Gore Jr.), Scripps can be hailed as the late 1950s birthplace of manmade Global Warming, the climate-change doctrine that Michael Crichton publicly discredited shortly before his untimely death.
CORONA, ARGON, and LANYARD “In its May 2, 1946 report, Preliminary Design for an Experimental World Circling Spaceship, the Douglas Aircraft Corporation examined the potential value of satellites for scientific and military purposes… A little less than nine years later, on March 16, 1955, the Air Force issued General Operational Requirement No. 80, officially establishing a high-level requirement for an advanced reconnaissance satellite [with recoverable cargo]… Over the next five years the U.S. reconnaissance satellite program evolved in a variety of ways. The success of the Soviet Union’s Sputnik I and II satellites in the fall of 1957 provided a spur to all U.S. space programs – as any success could be used in the propaganda war with the Soviet Union. In the case of U.S. reconnaissance programs, Sputnik provided a second incentive…[that] increased the pressure on discovering the extent of Soviet capabilities – something that the sporadic U-2 flights could only do in a limited fashion.10 The Air Force program was first designated the Advanced Reconnaissance System (ARS)…” https://nsarchive2.gwu.edu/NSAEBB/NSAEBB13/
In a Twilight Language-like twist of an old story, announcements about SARS-Corona outbreaks brought to my mind the thought of satellites—not just spacecraft, but viruses too—and the transition from ARS to SARS (as in the 2003 outbreaks) and virus-like satellites to Sputniks. The Corona satellites flew from 1959 until May 1972, ejecting their specious payload for mid-air capture by pilots, a remarkably successful strategy as long as the falling packages could be spotted by the cruising airmen. “The [surveillance] goal of the program was not revealed to the public at the time [and]was presented as a program to orbit large satellites to test satellite subsystems and investigate the communication and environmental aspects of placing humans in space, including carrying biological packages for return to Earth from orbit.” https://nssdc.gsfc.nasa.gov/nmc/spacecraft/display.action?id=1959-002A
Historically “biological packages” on space flights are more matter-of-course than exceptions. Supposedly, it all started with fruit flies: “On a July 9, 1946, suborbital V-2 rocket flight, fruit flies became the first living and sentient organisms to go to space, and on February 20, 1947, fruit flies safely returned from a suborbital space flight…” https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fruit_flies_in_space While I’m interested in who provided the specimens and who received them after, the seemingly relevant questions about space crystals during the Corona missions regards the film. The ‘syn-bio’ qualities of photographic film presented a major challenge to the program, as the official line from CIA notes, causing brittle crystallization and halo (corona) effects on exposed material. One can wonder if ‘Corona’ got its name from more than just the polar, pole-to-pole, orientation of its spaceflights. Eastman-Kodak gets the credit as Corona’s film provider but it’s another company at the highest level of government secrecy that had the goods on 3D stereochemistry: Polaroid.
I wrote about Polaroid on this blog (2012) in a post called Morgification, pursuing the fate of a hydrogel substance called polyvinylpyrrolidone, PVP. Then, as now, the pervasive presence of PVP in the human food supply and other consumables has the alarming potential to cause the horrific outcomes (specimen exudates!) of Morgellon’s. Morgification is the prequel to space crystals. https://jenniferlake.wordpress.com/2012/10/24/morgification/ Likewise is the evil twinBorgification: “Borrowing a Star Trek term for ‘techno-sapiens’, borgification looks to be an interim step for human enhancement ..[but]I don’t think it will last long, like 8-track tape or VHS –“new genes” are coming with compact DNA… Document excerpts below were generated out of a conference held by the National Science Foundation, December 3-4 of 2001: The NBIC report [Nano-Bio-Info-Cogno] http://www.forbiddengate.com/NBIC_report.pdf : ‘The integration and synergy of the four technologies (nano-bio-info-cogno) originate from the nanoscale, where the building blocks of matter are established… Convergence of diverse technologies is based on material unity at the nanoscale and on technology integration from that scale…’ ” https://jenniferlake.wordpress.com/2011/04/07/borgification/
The Borg hypercube was introduced to Star Trek fans on May 6, 1989, coincident with the first tangible space crystal successes published by Science magazine. A follow-on Science article for general readers, published in November 1989, is called “Zero Gravity Produces Weighty Improvements”:
“Protein crystals raised in outer space may be inherently superior to their Earth-bred cousins… [A]stronauts on the space shuttle grew protein crystals that were much larger and provided much better structural data than those grown on Earth under identical conditions… The space-grown crystals are already proving their worth. Since their paper was submitted to Science, several of the researchers have obtained new information about the structures of…proteins… The ultimate goal is to understand how other molecules bind to the protein, information that may aid in designing…compounds…” https://www.science.org/doi/10.1126/science.2814485

“This paper summarizes the history of this international initiative along with a description of some of the flight hardware systems and crystallization results… It is important to note that crystals grown in space represent not only common proteins useful in crystallization studies, such as canavalin and lysozyme, but other very unique macromolecules as well. These include viruses, DNA, numerous pharmaceutical targets, and a variety of membrane proteins. As additional experiments are carried out in the future, one of the most important objectives will be to determine which classes of macromolecules, and which specific members of those classes will obtain the greatest benefit from crystallization in microgravity.” https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC5515504/
—“the most important objectives will be to determine which classes…and which specific members of those classes will obtain the greatest benefit” indeed.
To borg or not to borg…
“The traditional mechanistic view of morphogenesis attempts to explain the formation of organisms in terms of how particles and molecules interact with one another. It also focuses on genes, gene activation and proteins…[but] the mechanistic view doesn’t explain what organizes these components into patterns…encouraging them to continue assembling into yet higher forms… Morphic resonance, on the other hand, is able to explain not only how proteins progressively arrange into higher forms…but also how organisms are greater than the sum of their parts… Taking clues from evidence we will further explore later on in this series, the answer…seems to be that a mysterious creative field—referred to sometimes as the quantum field, zero-point field or source field, and to which we will henceforth refer to as the Field—spontaneously gives rise to these morphic fields. Once they are birthed from the Field, they not only guide the structural formation and activity patterns of various substances and organisms, they are also informed by the various behaviors and environmental patterns of these same substances and organisms… [We] as humans are not only informed by the Field as a whole, but are also somehow informing the Field through our habitual patterns. If this is the case, it would seem that our responsibility to evolve our consciousness cannot be overstated.” https://subtle.energy/morphic-resonance-introduction-biofield-science-part-1/
[disclaimer: use of the phrase “evolve our consciousness” mystifies a normal process of maturation: growing up, gaining insight, discernment, wisdom and ability by experience and self-discipline. A few decades ago the trend in word choice was expanding consciousness, the idea of opening mind to the Field and enlarging one’s perspective. No outcome, value, or moral judgement is implied by either word, only a communicable effect.]
Keeping the emphasis of this post on Life Science technology (biophysics and biochemistry), projects spun from the ISS yielding practical ‘benefits’ as of now concern “protein crystal growth (PCG) experiments on the space station [that are]by far the largest single category of experiments conducted on the orbiting lab. Proteins are involved in every aspect of our lives… One of the best ways to analyze a protein structure is to grow it in crystalline form.” https://www.nasa.gov/missions/station/iss-research/creating-new-and-better-drugs-with-protein-crystal-growth-experiments/#hds-sidebar-nav-1
The textbook Turnip Yellow Mosaic Virus is a crystal shape called a truncated icosahedron, a spherical arrangement of hexamers and pentamers comprising 32 faces, otherwise known as a classic carbon-60 [atoms] fullerene.
“Fullerenes [a.k.a. buckyballs] had been predicted for some time, but only after their accidental synthesis in 1985 were they detected in nature[3][4] and outer space… [Harold] Kroto commented: ‘This most exciting breakthrough provides convincing evidence that the buckyball has, as I long suspected, existed since time immemorial in the dark recesses of our galaxy.’[6] According to astronomer Letizia Stanghellini, ‘It’s possible that buckyballs from outer space provided seeds for life on Earth.’ ” https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fullerene
–incidentally, it’s okay nowadays to call viruses fullerenes: [2019 example paper] “Structural basis for fullerene geometry in a human endogenous retrovirus capsid” www.nature.com/articles/s41467-019-13786-y ; and that goes for carbon nanotubes too– from Britannica: “fullerene, any of a series of hollowcarbon molecules that form either a closed cage (“buckyballs”) or a cylinder (carbon “nanotubes”)… The elongated cousins of buckyballs, carbon nanotubes, were identified in 1991 by Iijima Sumio of Japan… With fullerenes now available in workable amounts, research on these species expanded to a remarkable degree, and the field of fullerene chemistry was born. The C60 molecule undergoes a wide range of novel chemical reactions. It readily accepts and donates electrons, a behaviour that suggests possible applications in batteries and advanced electronic devices. The molecule readily adds atoms of hydrogen and of the [‘salt-forming’] halogen elements. The halogen atoms can be replaced by other groups, such as phenyl (a ring-shaped hydrocarbon with the formula C6H5 that is derived from benzene), thus opening useful routes to a wide range of novel fullerene derivatives… Particularly interesting in fullerene chemistry are the so-called endohedral species, in which [another type of] atom…is physically trapped inside a fullerene cage…” https://www.britannica.com/science/fullerene

University of California professor and space crystal specialist, Alexander McPherson: “Protein crystallization was discovered by chance nearly 200 years ago and was developed in the late nineteenth century as a powerful purification tool, and a demonstration of chemical purity. The crystallization of proteins, nucleic acids, and large biological complexes such as viruses, depends upon the creation of a [‘mother liquor’] solution that is supersaturated in the macromolecule[s]… Supersaturation is produced through the addition of mild precipitating agents such as neutral salts or polymers and by manipulation of various parameters that include temperature, ionic strength and pH. Also important in the crystallization process are factors that can affect the structural state of the macromolecule such as metal ions, inhibitors, cofactors, or other conventional small molecules.” https://link.springer.com/protocol/10.1007/978-1-4939-7000-1_2 ; small molecule ‘seeds’ are conventionally called “atomic clusters” or nanoclusters.
“Protein crystallization has been known since 1840…[when it] stimulated the birth of the biocrystallogenesis field… The new nanotechnologies have brought a significant improvement in the practice of protein crystallization… [but] structural biology projects always become more challenging and thereby require adapted methods to enable the growth of the appropriate crystals, notably macromolecular assemblages.” https://febs.onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/full/10.1111/febs.12580
[“Advanced Biocrystallogenesis” March 2021] “Nowadays, X-ray crystallography is one of the most popular structural biology methods…[and] several advanced methods for macromolecular crystallization have been developed. Crystallization in capillaries, gels, microfluidic chips, electric and magnetic fields as well as crystallization under microgravity…and crystallization in living cells… [The] seeding strategy has been developed as one of the most powerful [methods]… Another benefit is that it reduces the amount of the used protein and saves time needed for the spontaneous nucleation. This is also suitable for…adding new additives or even new precipitants. Several seeding strategies such as macroseeding and microseeding and/or their modifications can be applied… Additionally, the antibodies and nanobodies are used…to reinforce protein crystallization, mainly for membrane protein co-crystallization. Latterly, nanobodies replaced the use of antibodies because…nanobodies are extremely stable and soluble antibody single-domain fragments that stabilize unstructured proteins by binding to them, form crystal contacts and thus speed up crystal growth…[and] enhance the probability of best quality crystal hits… The formation of native protein crystals in living cells [calledincellulo crystallization]…is ideal for proteins that cannot be crystallized applying basic crystallization techniques… Next…are attempts to use crystals in different non-conventional ways. One of them is sending biosubstances…into space to try to crystallize them for finding new uses… The protein crystals can be supposedly thereafter used for long-term storage or…stabilization…by transferring them into solid state.” https://www.intechopen.com/chapters/76140
Solid state long-term storage—hmm?—shipping, biobanking, think of the possibilities!
Here’s the montage caption: “Figure 14 An array of crystals grown in the dewar device that used liquid–liquid diffusion from frozen biphasic samples.

DeLucas, America’s first optometrist in space, who authored the image of tobacco-based virtovirus within the same paper.
Using your eyes, do you see that ‘j’ (apoferritin) is the qualitativelyoddball photograph? Text within this 2015 paper, called “Microgravity Protein Crystallization” states that “Macromolecules [meaning proteins], being unique in their properties, both in terms of size and complexity, give rise to crystals that are also unique” and leads me to speculate that the images of virtovirus, apoferritin, and possibly urease are one and the same crystal.
What is apoferritin? — “Apoferritin is a protein commonly present in the intestinal mucosa membrane. The important biological function of apoferritin is its ability to bind and store iron, by combining with a ferric hydroxide-phosphate compound to form ferritin. Apoferritin from horse spleen was the first protein cage studied and used as a template for the synthesis of inorganic nanoparticles. Apoferritin has found extensive use in the synthesis of numerous metallic nanoparticles including Pd2+, Cu2+, Fe2+, Co2+, Cr3+, Ni2+, Mn2+, Cd2+, and Zn2+…” [in use as MRI contrast media] https://www.sciencedirect.com/topics/chemistry/apoferritin; “…Apoferritin, the empty shell of ferritin, can be modified to carry tailored properties exploitable for targeted and direct drug delivery. This protein shell has the ability to dis-[assemble] and reassemble depending on the pH value of the liquid environment… [F]erritin…can be exploited for different medical and electronic applications…” https://www.nature.com/articles/s41598-019-53943-3; [2014] “Tuning the band gap of ferritin nanoparticles by co-depositing iron with halides or oxo-anions— Iron-containing ferritin has been used for light harvesting and as a photocatalyst…” https://pubs.rsc.org/en/content/articlelanding/2014/ta/c4ta04588b/unauth
“The optical properties of materials are determined by their electronic structure and band gap. The energy gap between the highest occupied molecular orbital and lowest unoccupied molecular orbital (HOMO/LUMO) varies with the size and composition of a nanocluster. Thus, the optical properties of nanoclusters change. Furthermore, the gaps can be modified by coating the nanoclusters with different ligands or surfactants. It is also possible to design nanoclusters with tailored band gaps and thus tailor optical properties by simply tuning the size and coating layer of the nanocluster.” https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC2206983/

“Ferritin is a universal intracellular protein that stores iron and releases it in a controlled fashion. The protein is produced by almost all living organisms, including archaea, bacteria, algae, higher plants, and animals. It is the primary intracellular iron-storage protein in both prokaryotes and eukaryotes, keeping iron in a soluble and non-toxic form. In humans, it acts as a buffer against iron deficiency and iron overload…” https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ferritin
Most of the non-animal space-crystal proteins that I’ve been able to identify so far come from ‘higher plants’ that traffick in seeds and carry storage proteins. My proposed crystal identity problem (urease-tobacco-apoferritin) stems from this source, with the plant kingdom itself being the largest category of genetic diversity on the planet known to science. As I write, lawmakers in various U.S states are working out the legislation to promote and protect food-delivered vaccines grown in plants. (Example: https://msn.com/en-us/health/medical/tennessee-vaccine-lettuce-bill-heads-to-gov-bill-lee-s-desk/ar-BB1kIfBT/ )
“Key to making [food vaccines] work are chloroplasts…which allow the plant to grow… They’re also an untapped source for making desirable molecules…[because] it is possible for chloroplasts to express genes that aren’t naturally part of the plant… Our idea is to repurpose naturally occurring nanoparticles, namely plant viruses, for gene delivery to plants… and also render them non-infectious toward the plants…” https://www.news.ucr.edu/articles/2021/09/16/grow-and-eat-your-own-vaccines/ The voices quoted here are two scientists from the Universities of California Riverside (UCR) and San Diego (UCSD), one of whom, Nicole Steinmetz, is intensively focused on the metabiology uses of tobacco.
Those of you familiar with my evidence contending of “planting viruses”—really, plant-derived fullerene nanoparticle inoculation—in the Cold War polio campaigns can probably appreciate this in light of COVID and the next pending round, advertised in 2012 as tobacco-grown vaccines by DARPA. Obviously, they’d figured how to get their protein NPs to ferret in the GMO genes of choice—maybe yours, yes, yours. I wrote in September of 2020 that “DARPA, of course, is covering the bases: One early [covid vax] top contender on the way, Moderna Inc. of Cambridge MA, maker of the mRNA vaccine advocated by the Gates [Foundation] and trialed on computer technology workers in Seattle, is in “strategic alliances with…DARPA and the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation” –as expected. https://finance.yahoo.com/quote/MRNA/profile Moderna is the ‘wealthiest’[highest capitalization] company in the state of Massachusetts. But in the liberalized wild-west climate of “national” vaccines, the current COVID tobacco contender made by Kentucky BioProcessing (KBP), a subsidiary of British American Tobacco ( B.A.T., or BATS on the London stock exchange), may have its day –expect it!” https://jenniferlake.wordpress.com/2020/09/23/tobacco-vaccines-by-darpa/ –and I still do. The ‘bat soup’ narrative was not for nothing. Maybe this time it will come to us asfood. Another contention in-progress with me is that Tobacco Mosaic Virus and similar analogs found in food plants are as much a part of our humangenome as they are of plants. You Are What You Eat—remember that?—fuels a speculation that findings of Ice Age people in the Americas who were transporting tobacco seeds may have been carrying their precious food and medicine with them into new lands.
Tobacco use: “Plant-based digital data storage is a futuristic view that proposes storing digital data in plants and seeds… The first practical idea about using plants as storage media was proposed by Karin Fister and Iztok Fister Jr. in 2013 when the two were still undergraduate students at the University of Maribor (Slovenia)… With the help of two biotechnologists, they encoded a basic computer program…into Nicotiana benthamiana… synthesized it and cloned this coded DNA into a plasmid-vector to be used further for transformation into Nicotiana benthamiana plants. The encoded program was reconstructed from the resulting seedlings with 100% accuracy…” https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Plant-based_digital_data_storage
Further uses: “TMV is playing a leading role in the exploration of various strategies to use viruses as vectors for expressing foreign genes in plants. Tom Turpen (Biosource Technologies, Vacaville, CA) echoed the current interest in TMV not only as a model system, but also as a commercial vector. The high titer of TMV in infected plants and the renowned stability of the virus contribute to its attractiveness for use in large-scale production of highly valued compounds. Turpen reported that Biosource has used TMV to produce therapeutic human enzymes of high purity and specific activity, and that pilot tests are underway in new biomass processing facilities in Kentucky for the harvesting of commercially valuable proteins from field-grown tobacco plants. One could not fail to reflect upon the socio-economic and political implications of ‘milking tobacco leaves for human enzymes’…” http://www.plantcell.org/content/11/3/301
The One Health paradigm that fuses human medical treatment across boundaries among livestock has generally played down the inclusion of plants. The US government CDC advertises its plant-inclusion as “food safety and security” and “other health threats shared by…the environment” –read it here https://www.cdc.gov/onehealth/basics/index.html – but not all reference resources are maintaining the illusion at scale: “Echoing the resurgent theme of One Health – the parallels between animal and plant health – Rosalind Franklin was able to use her knowledge of plant viruses to elucidate the structure of the devastating Human Poliomyelitis virus, similar in its structure to Turnip yellow mosaic virus…” https://www.bspp.org.uk/rosalind-franklin-100-years/
And we have a space crystal for that, posted up above, but look here again. The TYMV-polio turnip virus from space gave me the impression of two merged 8-face pyramids and set off this whole shebang of a blog post.
“…the resurgent theme of One Health – the parallels between animal and plant…”
Crystallographer Rosalind Franklin, who died in 1958, became posthumously famous for not being included in the 1962 Nobel Prize awarded to Francis Crick, James Watson and Maurice Wilkins for their earlier joint discovery of the structure of DNA at King’s College Cambridge (UK) in 1953. A subterfuge against her involved the surreptitious theft (by Max Perutz) of her notes and x-ray pictures of tobacco mosaic virus (TMV image#51) showing the ‘X’ of its double-strand shape. Max Perutz also won a Nobel in ’62 for his career work on hemoglobin.
Regarding our space crystals, soon after her negative experience with Crick & Watson at Cambridge, Rosalind moved to the University of London (Birkbeck College) to head her own virus research lab under the supervision of renown communist and graphite expert John Desmond Bernal***(see the note):
“At that time, she was using X-ray diffraction to study fibres of the rod-shaped tobacco mosaic virus (TMV) and crystals of the spherical turnip yellow mosaic virus (TYMV). She started talking to Aaron [Klug, her assistant, who also moved over from Cambridge in ‘53]…and a close collaboration quickly developed… After Rosalind’s death in 1958, Aaron became head of the virus group.” https://royalsocietypublishing.org/doi/10.1098/rsbm.2019.0034
Klug would also continue a collaboration forged under Franklin with the University of California at Berkeley that provided virus samples to their London group, eventually resolving a geometric architecture for viruses with colleague Donald Caspar called Caspar-Klug Theory. But in 1957, the year prior to Franklin’s death, the Birkbeck Virus Group graduated from plants to their first animal virus, the human poliovirus, that became a celebrated ‘model’ of microcosmic perfection.
The poliovirus ‘balloon’ model (center) was displayed to the public at the 1958 World’s Fair in Brussels Belgium –note the Freemasonic setting. As a proof of its dodecahedron shape, I’ve added another fascinating crystal on the right known as the first made-in-a-labquasicrystal, of a general type found principally in meteorites and nuclear explosion residues.
***John Desmond Bernal— “His 1929 work The World, the Flesh and the Devil has been called “the most brilliant attempt at scientific prediction ever made” by Arthur C. Clarke.[33] It is famous for having been the first to propose the so-called Bernal sphere, a type of space habitat intended for permanent residence. The second chapter explores radical changes to human bodies and intelligence and the third discusses the impact of these on society… In the early 1960s, Bernal returned to the subject of the origin of life, analysing meteorites for evidence of complex molecules, and to the topic of the structure of liquids, which he talked about in his Bakerian lecture in 1962.” https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/J._D._Bernal
“ABSTRACT– This paper traces the beginnings of structural virology in the mid-20th century, focusing especially on the synergy between models of virus structure and models within art, notably Buckminster Fuller’s geodesic domes and Kenneth Snelson’s tensegrity structures. As Donald Caspar and Aaron Klug sought to extend the Crick-Watson theory of spherical virus structure, they explored analogies between biology and architecture, eventually publishing the classic Caspar-Klug theory of virus structure in 1962.” https://www.researchgate.net/publication/23408434_Virus_Design_1955-1962_Science_Meets_Art
I’ll toss in a history note here that the year 1962 delivered a unique boon to the United States space efforts, including NASA’s exobiology prerogatives. President Kennedy gave his “We choose to go to the Moon” speech in September of ’62. A month later he was mired in the Cuban Missile Crisis which led to the Limited Test Ban Treaty with the Soviets—limiting tests to earth and water-based proving grounds (for the occult making of more quasicrystals) and Albert Sabin launched the oral polio vaccine onto the global stage. https://www.rev.com/blog/transcripts/john-f-kennedy-jfk-moon-speech-transcript-we-choose-to-go-to-the-moon
In October 1957, with U.S. funding from NIH and the Public Health Service, Rosalind Franklin and her three assistants (Klug, Holmes, and Finch) began the study of poliovirus. The United States, and the world, was at Peak Fallout from atmospheric nuke tests, such as Operation Plumbob (‘lead weight’) when John T. Finch took the task of shuttling the virus samples around the labs: “John’s first project[was] on TYMV [turnip yellow mosaic virus, and] was technically demanding because of the very large unit cell (700 Å), then the largest that had been studied… [his] second PhD project involved crystals of poliovirus, which were given to Rosalind in 1957 by Drs. Schaffer and Schwerdt* from Berkeley… Aaron [Klug] wrote out a protocol for storing and handling the crystals, which were transferred to the School of Hygiene and Tropical Medicine, across the road from Birkbeck. John mounted them there and then took them to the Royal Institution for X-raying. Only crystals mounted in [sealed glass] capillaries could be brought into the laboratory, with adequate supplies of neutralizing formaldehyde close by in case of accidents. The members of the group were vaccinated against polio with the newly available Salk vaccine. X-ray exposures were long, sometimes overnight, and, as someone had to be in attendance, John remembered the nighttime Royal Institution as an eerie place… The study showed that poliovirus was rather similar to the small, spherical plant viruses also being worked on then, but the analysis was not taken any further.” https://royalsocietypublishing.org/doi/10.1098/rsbm.2018.0028 *(Mrs. Carlton Schwerdt, Patsy, hand-carried bottled poliovirus from San Francisco to London in her purse) –information first posted to the internet in 2017.

A curiosity of this dated story is that normal glass caused the viruses to disappear before they could be studied by x-ray or EM; the researchers learned by substituting special fused-quartz ‘optical’ lab glass that they could reconstitute the missing viruses in the particle beams. The question is: Were the so-called viruses ever reallythere in the first place or were they artifacts generated out of ‘mother liquor’ by the high-energy exposure? Whatever the answer, the Franklin group’s 1958 balloon model of polio itself soon disappeared, seeming to have made its last public appearance as a dodecahedron, as published in The Observer news, on June 21, 1959.
Though it’s difficult to see what’s drawn inside the triangle-faced icosahedron, the geometry lesson of the five Platonic solids demonstrates the spacial ‘mirror’ and complement of the icosahedron and dodecahedron, demonstrated here as symbols of Osiris and Isis.
Randall Carlson calls them “duals,” mathematically able to nest perfectly together, one inside the other or side by side: Hidden Mathematics – Randall Carlson (min11) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=R7oyZGW99os
The atomic-molecular arrangement of this Platonic pair maps to a ‘wire’ graph connecting the hexagon and pentagon, shown below (from Secrets in Plain Sight) as molecules found in meteorites.
The meteorite substances listed on the ‘record’ above are vital signaling molecules that moderate metabolic energy transfer: Melatonin (pineal gland hormone), Caffeine (plant alkaloid stimulant),Theobromine (plant alkaloid stimulant), Adenine (nuclei acid ‘A’ essential component of ATP and ADP), https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Adenosine_triphosphate and Dimethyltryptamine (DMT, a hallucinogenic tryptamine drug from plants) and there are many more to add like Guanine (nucleic acid ‘G’ essential component to GTP and GDP) https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Guanosine_triphosphate
And a host of plant alkaloids: “Basic (see base) organic compounds of plant origin, containing combined nitrogen. Alkaloids are amines, so their names usually end in “ine” (e.g., caffeine, nicotine, morphine, quinine)… Some plants (e.g., opium poppy, ergot fungus) produce many different alkaloids, but most produce only one or a few. Certain plant families, including the poppy family (Papaveraceae) and the nightshade family (Solanaceae) [like Nicotiana tobaccos], are particularly rich in them.” https://www.britannica.com/summary/alkaloid
NicotinamideAdenine Dinucleotide (NAD+): “NAD, sometimes written as NAD+…has an advantage…because it boosts the activity of all seven [human] sirtuins… And because NAD is used by over five hundred different enzymes, without any NAD, we’d be dead in thirty seconds.” –pp133-134, Lifespan, by David A. Sinclair https://jenniferlake.wordpress.com/2021/04/21/grab-your-nads/
For the record, I think Franklin’s Birkbeck virus group modeled not a poliovirus but another tobacco type artifact called satellitetobacco necrosis virus (STNV or TNSV), a subviral type of entity that was not formally discovered until 1962, and hence the need to suppress the World’s Fair display model that, for all I know, was photographed in a Brussels’ Masonic Temple and never seen by the public at large. My proposition is that most of the ‘virus-like particles’(VLPs) called satellites are made and not found. They are plant-associated debris reformed under mechanical forces from high energy microscopes, prevalent in our studied favorite foods and flowers. Here’s a string of tobacco necrosis satellite images that pops up on a search. The pentagonal units of a dodecahedron appear clearly in the 3rd and 5th pictures.
If you fix a mother solution of SatelliteTNV for space crystal manufacture, it could or should look like this:
The updated polio crystal came back as a truncated icosahedron-buckyball-C-60fullerene-like TWIN of its plant cousins:
If you fix a crystal mother solution for the newer polio baby, will it look like this or did I just fall off the turnip truck?
Polio vaccines are still promoted as time-tested, safe and necessary for children in the West, but here’s something you weren’t taught about the vaccine —the Sabin OPV (‘O’ for oral) drops—in a 2020 TED talk from Leor Weinberger who is answering the question about creating a “self-spreading therapy,” like a communicable disease:
[minutes 11-12]“…I thought if we can create a therapy that replicates, it would only need to be taken once. It could mutate along with the virus and possibly it could transmit between infected individuals to treat them… It was a therapy that could do all of the things that the virus could do. It solved the fundamental mismatch. The most radical part of this concept was that the super-spreaders would also be converted from transmitting the virus to now transmitting the therapy. It was a therapy that would go viral along with the virus. This scared some people…But there’s already a precedent: we already inadvertently use therapies that transmit. The vaccine that eradicated polio in the US, the oral polio vaccine, transmits between people. It’s not well-known, but the fact that this vaccine transmits is part of the reason that it was chosen for the worldwide eradication effort despite its safety issues…”
“English ‘god from the machine’ is a plot device whereby a seemingly unsolvable problem in a story is suddenly or abruptly resolved by an unexpected and unlikely occurrence… The term was coined from the conventions of ancient Greek theater, where actors who were playing gods were brought on stage using a machine. The machine could be either a crane (mechane) used to lower actors from above or a riser that brought them up through a trapdoor…” https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Deus_ex_machina
“Deus ex machina…provides an artificial or contrived solution to an apparently insoluble difficulty… The dramatic device dates from the 5th century BC; a god appears …to solve a crisis by divine intervention. Since ancient times, the phrase has also been applied to an unexpected saviour or to an improbable event that brings order out of chaos…” https://www.britannica.com/art/deus-ex-machina
…GOD Crystals…
The GOD crystals (as I’m calling them) are clockwise from the left; the ‘Flower of Life’ or Seed of Life, fully drawn from the hexagonal unit at its center; upper right is the image appearing as word ‘GOD’ is spoken in the Freemasonic narration of the film ‘Riddles In Stone’ https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oaEKBBsncng; below right is an icosahedron ‘wire’ graph identified as West Nile Virus (a.k.a. polio) and the Quantum teleportation ‘core-shell’ model in the hands of its creator Anton Zeilinger.
…a House of Glass…
Instructive to making GOD Crystals going back to the 1950s, is the contemporary example of the 2023 Nobel Prize winner Alexei Ekimov, who shared the Chemistry award with two others. Ekimov made the first quantum dots in the ‘70s, they said, discovered by irradiating optical glass with X-rays:
“Since the 1930s physicists and chemists have known that a material’s size has a significant effect on its properties. That is, in particles of matter a few nanometers in size (1 nanometer = 10−9 meter), quantum mechanical effects become significant… In the late 1970s [Alexei] Ekimov became interested in colored glass and how adding different substances to glass produced the colors. He worked with glass to which he added copper chloride (CuCl). He found tiny CuCl crystals in the glass ranging in size from about 2 to 30 nanometers, the size of the crystals depending on the temperature and length of the glassmaking process. Ekimov scattered X-rays off the glass and found that the wavelengths of the absorption lines depended on the size of the CuCl crystals in the glass. He realized that this wavelength shift was a quantum mechanical effect. He had discovered quantum dots and showed that they could be produced in the well-known glassmaking process…” https://www.britannica.com/biography/Alexei-Ekimov
Below are colloidal ‘quantum shells’ photographed in 2024 (QSs, left ‘a’) and a 1950s electron image of poliovirus (right), both propagated in liquid solutions, that make a remarkable side-by-side comparison. Of particular note is the reference from Ekimov about the size of his dots ranging to 30 nanometers, the ‘standard’ size assigned to poliovirus.
“…Crystallization has been called “one of the most secretive processes in nature” (1). The mystery lies in how structures with long-range order form from building blocks that only interact with their local neighbors. The most extreme case is when solids form from weak solutions, in which the molecules begin widely separated so that not even local structure is present… [However] it is now recognized that the process of reaching a crystalline critical cluster is often much more complicated than supposed in the naïve [assembly] scenario, with multiple intermediate phases sometimes playing a role in reaching the final state… The discovery of the “two-step” mechanism of crystallization in proteins has been an important factor in driving interest in the subject (14, 15). Since then, complex pathways have been reported for many other systems including calcium carbonate (16, 17), potassium dihydrogen phosphate (18), polyoxometalates (10), and biomimetic polymers (19), to name a few. As a result, nucleation pathways have become a central focus of modern research.” [2019] https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC6450691/
Glass, by conventional definition, is a reference to molecular order within a matrix of nonspecific chemical substances. Glasses and ‘glassy substituents’ have traditionally had a limited short range ‘local’ organization, labeled as amorphous in structure, but modern atomically precise material engineering with gels and colloids is extending the category of glasses into the long range order of crystals.
…Magic Numbers…
“Complexity in nature, whether in chlorophyll or in living organisms, often results from self-assembly and is considered particularly robust. Compact clusters of elemental particles can be shown to be of practical relevance, and are found in atomic nuclei, nano particles or viruses… Structures assemble themselves. The first step for the researchers in a process which covers several steps was to synthesize minute colloidal clusters, no larger than a tenth of the diameter of a single hair in total. ‘First of all, water evaporates from an emulsion droplet and the polymer balls are pushed together. Over time, they assemble increasingly smoother sphere-shaped clusters and begin to crystallize. It is remarkable how several thousand individual particles independently find their ideal position in a precise and highly symmetrical structure in which all particles are placed in predictable positions,’ explains Prof. Vogel.
“The researchers discovered more than 25 different magic number colloidal clusters of various shapes and sizes and were able to define four different cluster morphologies: where evaporation was fastest, buckled clusters were formed, as the droplet interface moved faster than the colloidal particles could consolidate. If the evaporation rate was lowered, the clusters were predominantly spherical. Spherical clusters have a uniformly curved surface with only a weak pattern of crystals. Clusters with icosahedral symmetry were formed as the rate of evaporation decreased further. These clusters have a particularly high degree of symmetry and have numerous two, three or five fold symmetry axes…
…”The analyses proved that clusters consisting of numbers of particles corresponding to a magic number are indeed more stable, as predicted on the basis of the theory. It is well known that the observed icosahedral symmetry can be found in viruses and ultra-small metal clusters, but it has never been investigated directly. Now, with these results, a detailed and systematic understanding of how such magic number clusters are formed in the investigated model system is possible for the first time, allowing conclusions to be drawn for other natural systems where clusters tend to be formed.” https://www.fau.eu/2018/12/13/news/research/magic-number-colloidal-clusters/
“The existence of MCCs [Magic-number Colloid Clusters] reported in this work has similarities to other clustering processes, such as micelles, fullerene assemblies, protein aggregates, supramolecules of ionic liquids, inorganic clusters, and natural framboidal pyrite. Just like these natural self-organization processes, MCC formation is efficient in solving the high-optimization problem of finding a global free energy minimum… Similar design principles may be applied to hierarchical structures of bimetallic nanoparticles, molecular self-assembly and plasmonic nanocluster formation… [We] demonstrate that the magic phenomenon known from atomic clusters extends to the colloidal realm. We report a discrete family of icosahedral clusters spanning a large range of particle numbers and propose a geometric model based on the Mackay and anti-Mackay clusters to accurately describe all…the experimental observations[s]. ” https://www.nature.com/articles/s41467-018-07600-4
Alan L. Mackay, the crystallographer cited above, gave his name to the icosahedron particles that were formed under ‘forces’ from solution; particles that were called ‘viruses’in the 1950s and are ‘virus-like particles’ [VLPs] today. “Mackay, one of the rare generalists of our time, was a disciple and follower of J.[John] Desmond Bernal. Mackay has contributed decisively to the development of the science of structures… His inquiries prompted him to predict the existence of… quasicrystals.” https://www.link.springer.com/article/10.1007/s11224-016-0766-1 ; J.D. Bernal, mentioned earlier as a communist and graphite expert who conceived the Bernal Spherespace habitat, was Mackay’s supervisor and mentor as he was to Rosalind Franklin’s virus group at Birkbeck College, University of London. Mackay came to Birkbeck in 1949 and stayed for the rest of his very long career.
The icosahedron is a hierarchic structure of liquid water, assigned to water by Plato and confirmed many times over in our day: “The living world should be thought of as an equal partnership between biological molecules and water. Both short-range (< 1nm) and long-range (> 100 nm) [2268] organization of the water molecules has been detected… Enlightenment comes from an understanding that water molecules form an infinite dynamic hydrogen-bonded network with localized and structured clustering…” https://water.lsbu.ac.uk/water/clusters_overview.html
Chasing water, and icosahedra, is a daunting but fascinating andchallenging task—if I keep side-winding my way to better comprehension instead of posting, well then it’s ‘see you next year.’ Scientists generally admit that their current understanding of water is far from complete:
“Water…forms an extraordinary range of structures, most of them transient, that assist chemical and information transfer processes… Liquid water forms a fluctuating network of hydrogen bonds, but each bond has an average lifetime of around a picosecond. The shape of the H2O molecule encourages the formation of a tetrahedrally coordinated motif which is itself the building block of ephemeral five- and six-membered rings [that] create a good deal of empty space within the network… The presence of a solute usually alters the hydrogen bond network. Some small polar solutes such as urea can be ‘fitted in’ with relatively little solute rearrangement, whereas small hydrophobic solutes can be enclosed in a cavity around which surrounding water molecules preserve their hydrogen bonding byrearrangement… For larger surfaces, such as those of proteins, truncation of the hydrogen bond network is inevitable…” https://www.pnas.org/doi/full/10.1073/pnas.1703781114 ; this ‘pnas’ paper introduces itself with NASA’s ‘unofficial’ exobiology program slogan: “Follow the water.”
…might have to coin a term for it: HYDROTHEOLOGY, except that a natural philosophy scholar and theologian named Johann Albert Fabricius beat me to it in 1734. Fabricius wrote and published Hydrotheology as his follow-up to Pyrotheology. https://www.cis.org.uk/serve.php?filename=scb-19-2-russell.pdf . Without an original text, one has to guess if Fabricius might have witnessed supercritical water phenomena like burning underwater flames.
Chaplin’s proposition about water structure seems to pin down the origin of viruses as complexes of H2O water—no protein need apply. Water is architecture. Solve et coagula!
In the interview linked just above, Gerald Pollack informs the audience [at minute 17] that the gel-like Fourth Phase water that he calls ‘EZ’ (for Exclusion Zone) is made by Light: “It’s created from light, the energy from light. It’s not necessarily visible light… it’s infrared light, so infrared light coming to you and received by your body converts that water [in you] to EZ…[and] is the kind of energy that helps build this EZ water.” They can make it in the laboratory, but Jerry recommends juicing your vegetables to get it from plants: “We’re studying [cell water in] plants…” Indeed.
Here are two short videos from AcquaPHI www.youtube.com/@AcquaPHI (that makes a filter/‘harmonizer’ device) that I’m posting for learning purposes:
“Water Memory and Structured Water” (8 minutes) with an appearance from Rustum Roy
–And don’t miss the 2014 documentary “Water Memory” (50 minutes), featuring Luc Montagnier in his furthering the marginalized but ‘red hot’ water research of Jacques Benveniste, who transmits a water-diluted HIV signal by electronic means to a distant water tank for reassembly. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=R8VyUsVOic0
Infrared (IR): Not counting human-use gadgets, the best infrared detectors on Earth are the mammal-hunting snakes, ancient water symbols all over the world. Next come certain fish and butterflies followed by the bats. The western diamond-back rattler, they say, is the keenest of the IR-sighted snakes and it gives me a lot of pause to find it together with ‘salt’ and ‘water’ on the University of California San Diego campus adjacent to, and in partnership with, the Salk Institute, Scripps Oceanographic, General Atomics and the Torrey Pines Institute.
UCSD library at the head of the Snake Path
This particular House of Glass, once blandly called Central Library, was designated a Sphere and is still described as a “five-level spheroid” though “sphere might not be the first word you think of when you look at our library” says UCSD’s historian. The first word I think of is SALT. The architect, William L. Pereira [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/William_Pereira] spoke at the building’s dedication ceremony in 1971: “If it appears to some that the design of this library conveys the idea that powerful and permanent hands are holding aloft knowledge itself…I can only say in all humility, that is what we meant to do… And in future years, I would like it to be said about the authorship of this building, as Emerson said it, ‘He builded better than he knew’.” https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7bbxXKrjpII
From this pool of bioengineering talent came people like Marc Guilianotti: “Prior to joining the ISS National Lab Marc spent 20+ years working in early drug discovery efforts at the Torrey Pines Institute for Molecular Studies. He received his BS in Chemistry/Biochemistry from UCSD, his MBA from SDSU and his PhD in Chemistry from USF.” https://worldstemcellsummit.com/marc-giulianotti-phd/
(Article) “Water of Crystallization, Unraveling the Mystery” : “Water of crystallization is a fascinating phenomenon that occurs when water molecules become an integral part of a crystalline structure. [Water] plays a crucial role in the formation, stability, and properties of various compounds… [In] the microscopic world of crystals, a captivating narrative unfolds revealing the symbiotic relationship between water molecules and crystalline structures. At its core, water of crystallization refers to water molecules that are structurally integrated…forming a unique bond that transcends the conventional liquid-solid interaction…One of the classic examples illustrating water of crystallization is hydrated salts… Glauber’s salt, or sodium sulfate decahydrate, is a textbook [example]… Each molecule of Glauber’s salt embraces ten water molecules within its crystalline matrix…[making] a marriage of chemical and physical forces…” https://medium.com/teach-chemistry/water-of-crystallization-unveiling-the-mystery-5e72eddf8799
The word choice of ‘marriage’ by the writer, knowingly or not, is evoking the ancient Sanskrit (Proto-Indo-European, PIE) root word for WATER, written “wed” or otherwise “wod”; “Linguists believe PIE had two root words for water: ap- and wed-. The first (preserved in Sanskrit apah as well as Punjab and julep) was ‘animate’, referring to water as a living force; the latter referred to it as an inanimate substance.” https://etymonline.com/search?q=water Also included by etymonline is the translation of <ma’> (“water”) meaning “measure of quality of a diamond, c1600, which is also used in the sense of luster, splendor.” –readers of Corona the Crow might remember the opening segment containing the anagram of ‘New Magenta’ as “want ma gene” (mentioned in conjunction with the Queen’s Jubilee tree-of-life-lighting) providing yet a second candidate from this piece for a “ma” gene. The first “ma” is Alan Mackay’s icosahedron formula adding Mackay (‘m’) and anti-Mackay (‘a’) packing spheres to begin each equation with “m+a” to determine ‘iss’ (icosahedral sphere structure).
Does our English word “water” come from the Old World watergods of creation?— Tiamat and Apsu (Mesopotamia), Ma’at (Egypt, Arabia), and the younger Yahweh (as the Tetragrammaton YHWH, ya-‘waw’or the written ‘vav’ suggesting ‘wave’) and Woden (Saxon/Norse):
“In Mesopotamian religion, Tiamat … is the primordial sea, mating withAbzû (Apsu), the groundwater, to produce the gods in the Babylonian epic Enûma Elish… In the Enûma Elish, the Babylonian epic of creation, Tiamat bears the first generation of deities after mingling her waters with those of Apsu, her consort…Tiamat was the “shining” personification of the sea who roared and smote in the chaos of original creation. She and Abzu filled the cosmic abyss with the primeval waters. She is ‘Ummu-Hubur who formed all things.’…It was once thought that the myth of Tiamat was one of the earliest recorded versions of a Chaoskampf, a mythological motif that generally involves the battle between a culture hero and a chthonic or aquatic monster, serpent, or dragon… ” https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tiamat
WATER-based Nanomedicine – [Nov 2023] “Water molecules, by themselves (in vacuum), are diamagnetic but when organized into clusters, they become diamagnetic or paramagnetic. Also, biomolecules (DNA, collagen, clathrin, and other proteins) have non-covalent hydrogen bonds in their structure. The interaction, as well as signal transmission, between water and biomolecules is achieved through the vibrations of covalent and non-covalent hydrogen bonds, which determine the state and dynamics of conformational changes in biomolecules. Disruptive conformational changes in biomolecules, cells, and tissues lead to their dysfunctionality, so they are a frequent cause of many disorders and diseases. For example, the rearrangement of hydrogen bonding due to mitochondrial disease mutation in cytochrome bc1 disturbs heme bH redox potential and spin state. In order to prevent and repair the dysfunctional conformational changes, a liquid substance was developed based on the second derivative of the C60 molecule (SD-C60), which has classical and quantum properties… Observed effects can be ascribed to a machinery of hydrogen bonds, which are generated in SD-C60 and transmitted through water to biomolecules—a “water-based nanomedicine.” https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC10745578/
“…Since fullerene C60 is insoluble in water and is toxic, it is not applicable in biomedicine and cosmetics. For this reason, the first derivative FD-C60 (fullerenol) was synthesized, which solved the problem of solubility in water and partially reduced toxicity. In order to maximally reduce the toxicity of fullerenol (the first derivative of C60, FD-C60), and increase its biomedical efficiency, the second derivative SD-C60 (3HFWC, Hyper-Harmonized Hydroxylated Fullerene Water Complex) was created…” https://www.mdpi.com/2079-4991/14/5/480

“…Tetrahedral liquids [such as water, silicon and carbon] are often simulated by an energy potential called the SW model… [The] model accurately predicts anomalous liquid behaviors. The two-state property is controlled by the parameter lambda (λ) which describes the relative strength of pairwise and 3-body intermolecular interactions. The higher [lambda] λ is, the degree of tetrahedral order increases. [Paper co-author John Russo said,] ‘We realized that [lambda] λ, which is rather large for water, was key to the uniqueness of these liquids… Effectively, λ controls the degree of tetrahedrality: as λ increases, tetrahedral shells forming around each molecule become energetically more stable. Hence, these shells overcome the unfavorable loss of entropy that accompanies the creation of order.’ The local tetrahedra resemble solid-state structures which is why high λ liquids crystallize more easily…” https://www,pnas.org/doi/full/10.1073/pnas.1722339115 [paper: “Water-like anomalies as a function of tetrahedrality” Mar26, 2018] ; lambda upper case, Λ, is not used here but the lower -λ- and upper -Λ- have the same ancient meaning, www.greekalphabet.org/lambda/ , emphasizing “harmony, balance, liberty, law, and the dynamics of change.” –see Ma’at.
