Following Hugh Jackman Through the Atlantean Stargate
The show's distant future crew of characters end up, under the sea, in the Atlantis mythos lampooning southern American sunken city of Atlanta.
Rant Warning!
A quick overview of my take on Atlantis:
I feel the Atlantis story first unveiled by Plato, vie Egyptian priests, is primarily obfuscated Giza knowledge.
The likely pre-Pharaohnic Giza pyramids with their distinctive seasonal alignment, seemed to regulate the flow of the Nile, from the perspective of the current indigenous culture and become intimately associated with water. Whether the priest class knew better but used the ruse of the pyramids as magickal sun and water manifesting to manipulate the masses is something worth pondering... (I borrow heavily from Ralph Ellis in these matters..)
Mound/Pyramid of Atum. The water connected Egyptian creation story, is probably closely associated with Atlantis, no? Don't forget 911 and the Manhattan Island completely entrain with these themes.
Another whimsical scenario sees the pyramids submerged during the melting of the end of the last Ice Age.
Because it seems likely any Egypto-connected occult pillar/mountain/tower reference is referring to our Twin Pillars or Breasts (from which flows the fertile Nile) of Egypt, it logically follows that Thoth/Enki/Noah's (as ark is pyramid) inscribed pillars (emerald tablets?) and Atlantian pillars are indeed one and the same thing. At the very least we can certainly say Giza and Atlantis, synchromystically, resonate each other very strongly indeed.
Other facets worth keeping in play while considering Atlantis is the speculated pre-historical harmonious entheogenic/shamanic societies posited by the likes of Terrence McKenna, modern ego (object/thing obsessed) mans precursors. The Stargate resonant themes associated with psychedelics offer another not necessarily incompatible model working alongside with the Giza interpretation. How they comfortably slot together is an issue for future posts...
The name Atlantis refers to its first King, Atlas, who's father Poseidon gave him sway over the mythical Island. Another Atlas is often depicted as the human pillar holding aloft the Earth and an Atlas is also a map. Both Earth pillar and Earth map connect comfortably to Giza as pyramids are pillars and Giza's alignments with the cardinal points denote uncomfortably early geodetic knowledge. The great pyramid itself -I am lead to believe - in some size/ratio dynamic is in direct sync with the planet Earth. Ralph Ellis in "Thoth" posits the Great Pyramid rather convincingly as a map (Atlas) of the Earth. In "K2" he tells us exactly where this map points towards...
Note the checker design on the Krispy Kream (K2) store. The checkered floor is found on Masonic lodge floors and First Degree Tracing Boards all evolved from the layout of Giza. (See Ralph Ellis' "Eden in Egypt" for tracing board Giza symbolism or The 911 Stargate video for more info)
Lead character and time traveler -thus Stargate resonator - Philip J. Fry exits a Krispy Kream donut store in our synchromystic cartoon world Atlantis.
Finding the double K in Atlantis is completely consistent with the concept of Giza as interchangeable with Atlantis. Ralph Ellis explains in "K2: Quest of the Gods" that the Great Pyramid decodes as a map pointing towards K2, the second tallest mountain on Earth. Having a Stargate traveler exiting a KK/K2 in Atlantis connects Atlantis to Giza synchromystically.... beautifully. It also suggest the K2 mountain as connceted to the Atlantis story.
Coca-Cola is also present and highlighted in the underwater Atlanta of Futurama. Both the CC of Coca-Cola and KK of Krispy Kream were investigated as part of the K2 sync web in The JFK Stargate Mega-Ritual
In the "Futurama" film "Benders Big Score" bender time travels, to steal precious historical artifacts, in a spherical Stargate. Stargate are symbols of the realization of consciousness or penetrating the mis perception of separation between object and subject or time and space.
His very first stop, once through the Stargate, is of course ancient Egypt and the pyramids.
The year 2000 millennium celebrations are considered part of the consciousness focusing events dubbed here, Mega Rituals. Any large scale public events bring people's minds together in space and time, concentrating the attention on the present and dissolving conditioned mind activity. 911, JFK and Y2K all condensed awareness on the NOW resulting in a euphoric global ecstasy, collapsing the 'illusion' of the time bound mind. It can be postulated, if the 2012 theme keeps building in popularity and some truth lies in the McKenna/Maya threads associated with it, 2012 could become the ultimate consciousness focusing Mega Ritual. 2012 the pivotal Maya (Illusion) dissolving, consciousness inculcating event? Perhaps...
Pleas keep in mind that, considering NOW is all that truly exists, 2012 can be a very unhealthy neurosis. If we imagine redemption from the mind made self in future instead of the present moment we will never achieve joy, the realization of divinity. In fact we are all totally whole and complete as we sit here, no matter how much mental noise or discomfort the mind generates at present. It seemingly takes time for us to come into full realization of being pure Being already. In this manner 2012 as potential planetary spiritual eschaton, if taken as symbolic human narrative fulfillment is a beautiful story, the end of the drama of history. If you, however, try and hinge your spiritual awakening on 2012 or find fulfillment in anything - God, 2012, UFOs - you are sure to be disappointed as no-thing can fulfill you. Again, you already are the no-thing and fully fulfilled.
The 2000 Millennium or 2K Mega Ritual is the scene of Fry's cryogenic freezing and another setting of Benders Stargate jumping in "Bender's Big Score". Synchromystically we now also have Bender (and our Atlantis/KK adventuring Fry), who has already visited Giza (with its Great Pyramid/K2 Map), tied to Y(2K) and Stargates.
Space and Time collapsing Bender steals many historic artifacts, a few like the giant Olmec colossal head (above) and the Aztec sun stone (below) entraining him along with Giza and Y(2K) now also with the Maya 2012 consciousness focusing theme. The 2012 themed Aztec calender sun stone, in the presence of the ark of the covenant (a transportable pyramid symbol) and Egyptian obelisk (all in image below), bring these related multicultural Stargate devices neatly together. The Aztec sun stone was seen on Elvis' (died in 19(77)/Pan/Oz) final jumpsuit appearance in the video Al Noah.
Hugh Jackman walks on water entraining with the Biblical Christ. Fitting as he is about to become one with consciousness atop a Mayan Temple/Pyramid.
Stargate King Hugh Jackman interacts with the Mayan 2012 Stargate themes in the modern 2001: Space Odyssey, Darren Aronofsky's masterpiece "The Fountain".
As a Spanish conquistador Hugh Jackman finds a Mayan Temple/Pyramid, climbs it, while Orion winks in the background.
The Mayan theme is represented by Xibalba and a Temple/Pyramid Jackman climbs while questing for the Tree of Life.
"The Fountain" elegantly illustrates the journey of realization of ones own divinity - frequently described in these pages as opening the Stargate - calling it "the road to awe".
The Stargate circle is constantly placed at the center of the frame throughout the entire film. Showing divinity to be present in all 'times and places'. Before the climax when the Stargate is finally opened Jackman assumes the meditative posture of the Buddha, the human pyramid. In another fractally self similar reality at the same moment he is standing atop the Mayan pyramid eating semen from the Tree of Life.
Hugh has to overcome his attachment to objects in space/things (pursuit of a cure for his wife/immortality) and its interrelated partner 'illusion' time (the rate at which things change) . Only then, purged of the desire to find or fulfill himself in anything does he become whole while the resulting ecstatic Stargate collapses form and change, time and space.
The Stargate opens for our hero who has found the joy of consciousness beyond time and space. The Stargate circle currently being a halo (image above) around the third eye pivot of consciousness in the human form.
Synchromystically we can see a gradual but vivid progression, ever increasing in clarity, of Hugh Jackman's Stargate King role, starting in earlier films. The intense spiritual enlightenment portrayed in "The Fountain" can be shown to be the culmination of years of development through his actor self in successive Stargate connectible roles. This suggest, in my view, a non-local intelligence guiding the affairs of the universe rather than conscious tomfoolery on the part of a human agencies such as conspiring Hollywood magickians. The embedding of symbolism is too well orchestrated, subtle and concise. The noisy plotting and scheming of the human mind doesn't directly create the phenomena charted by synchromysticism. The patterns found emanate from the same force that organizes uncountable numbers of snowflakes into unique (all being appreciably different) but certainly not individual (all comprising six way geometry) forms. The same force that animates this very moment you read this sentence, the moment of present awareness that is inseparable from who you are.
The 2001 (911 Mega Ritual year) "Kate Leopold" sees Hugh jumping through Stargates located in space at the Brooklyn Bridge , New York (911 Mega Ritual location). Time traveling from the late 1800's to the present he - as is all our destinies - finds his true love beyond the Stargate.
2000's (2K/K2) X-Men poster silently and elegantly says more about the 911 Mega Ritual I could ever hope to with words....
Note the highlighted radiating light imposed over the WTC.
But this is my job, no?.., so here are some more words about the image. We see the Twin Towers or Pillarmids inside the Stargate circle with target cross hair of the 2000 (K2) X-Men film logo, sharing this setup is Stargate King Hugh Jackman playing Wolverine.Inside the film the Pillarmids can be seen as Wolverine and arch-enemy Sabertooth knock each other around atop the head of the giant Isis colossus of the Island of ManhAtum (Manhattan), 'lady' liberty.
In the post Saber-Thoth Saber-Tooth cats were connected to the Stargate in general and Thoth (Enki, Noah etc) specifically as Thoth/Tooth are interchangeable synchromystically (see Sweet Thooth).
Synchromystically we could say we are seeing a Saber-Thoth battling the Stargate King and super hero (all Horus resonators) atop the spiked crown/sun halo (Stargate) of Isis with the Twin pyramid resonating Towers of 911 sucsynctly completing the symbolism. Simply put the ushering in of consciousness into humanity. Humanity becoming Horus, in the age of mankind as its own superhero.
Does the placement of a Thoth resonating Saber-Tooth tiger on this poster ad sync wink weight to Giza as extent in 'prehistory'? The "White Spear" our prehistoric man is holding is topped with a spinal column/back bone making it a Caduceus and Jed pillar resonator, adding even more succynct Thoth resonance.
"10 000 BC" continues the Saber-Thoth theme as the film has these extinct animals interacting anachronistically with humans. But are the pyramids, here being built way before dynastic Egypt and there general 'straight dope' interpretation as dating from 2500 BC ish also anachronistic?
Major rant alert!
The scale and alignments of Giza put the totally un-hieroglyphed pyramids, in my current belief system, far beyond the know how of the Pharaohs. That said I have a distinct aversion for alien or ancient technologically advanced societies as explanation for their 'construction'. So how then do we explain structures who's pure existence seem a contradiction? I can only venture some synchromystically influenced guesses.
Considering the pyramids (and the intimately associated inseparable Twin Towers) are the strongest artifact** Stargate resonators I have know while doing this type of research (the intimately related Sun/Star being the natural** world top Stargate resonator), the solution must simply be that what ever built them came through the Stargate.
Since the Stargate is the symbolic doorway for consciousness it follows to assume that Being coming through the Stargate made the pyramids.
The only issue is to download that statement into something that fits the situation in a practical manner, if not we have to revert back to sci-fi (Aliens/Atlantis), which has always felt too Deus ex machina for my money.
Since the most likely candidates for the physical, matter manipulating (in this case the art of stone masonry), aspect are obviously still humans we could ad that consciousness flowing through humans built the pyramids.
If these humans were prehistoric the ever increasing mental noise that has generated history would not be present and the voice of consciousness/Being beyond thought and form would be louder and probably the dominating operating force in said humans. Thus being had a clear channel through prehistoric man to create the structures. In the same manner as the silent snowflake, sunflower and nautilus shell, the geometries would originate straight from the source of all, consciousness moving through the Stargate (the third eye) vie prehistoric man.
Shucks, if Atlantis really is prehistoric man who lived in harmony with its surroundings, not separating themselves through thought into experience and experiensor (subject and object), you could in a strange way say Atlantis/Giza was built by Atlanteans.
How prehistoric man manipulated the raw materials with such dexterity is not yet understood by this humble synchromystic...
**Separating objects like our sun and pyramids into man made artifacts vs. natural phenomena is a convenience of language and mind, not reflective of the true situation. A pyramid is essentially as much a natural phenomena as the sun. Consciousness emanates the universe which grows man which builds pyramids, meaning pyramids and all artifacts are natural processes originating originally from consciousness. Conversely it is perfectly reasonable to call both sun and pyramid artifacts emanating from the true maker of all form, consciousness. We can for the sake of discussion separate between nature and man made if we need as long as we know in essence all really arises from Being/no-thing. This statement can help you move beyond trying to figure out if Martian features like giant faces or pyramid shaped mountains are natural or made by intelligent agencies. All is made through the intelligence of Being, the separation of K2, Giza and Cydonia into definite categories of mountain vs. pyramid is an identification with form worth penetrating deeper and moving beyond.
Hugh opens the Stargate in "The Prestige" through a teleportation machine invented by Tesla and neatly packaged in a capstoneless pyramid shaped crate.
As the Great pyramid might have had a platform for sacrifice and observation at its peak, the capstoneless pyramid possibly represents this most Stargate resonant edifice, itself a likely Stargate (consciousness focusing) device.
The unfinished pyramid is also the Illuminati symbol.
Let's define the Illuminati as those who pursue or have been Illuminated, which seems most reasonable and logical. Being, using the 911 Mega Ritual, has initiated the entire planet through the symbolic destruction of the Twin Pillarmids, into consciousness. It stands to reason then we are all Illuminati.
The third X-Men film or X3 resonates 2012. The 2012 Olympics in London is officially known as the Games of the XXX Olympiad.
The personified Stargate deity or anthropomorphic facet of Godhead i.e what we call Gods in general, comes in many flavors. Most frequently we uncover Thoth/Enki builder or scribe types associated with the Stargate Mega Rituals sync web. A very close second would be the darker disposed Pan/Beast thingamagick. In keeping with The Blob's tradition of extreme reductionism any animal (Batman, Wolverine), evil (Satan, Set) or earthly characters can synchromystically be considered a Pan/77/Oz resonator. In the end all the Gods are just the Stargate in human shape. They guide, through religion and mythology - in modern times expresed in comics, movies, television and video games (all media) - humans back to the source of all consciousness, Being beyond thought and form.
The Beast (Kelsey Grammer) and Wolverine, both Pan resonators, adding the Oz/77 Stargate resonance to the Stargate king in X3 (still above).
Patrick Stewart is the wheelchair bound Professor X in X3. The X as target shaped resonates the Stargate in general.
The Stargate facet or Greek God Hephaestus according to Wikipedia: "was a Greek god whose Roman equivalent was Vulcan; he was the god of technology, blacksmiths, craftsmen, artisans, sculptors, metals and metallurgy, and fire"
Hephaestus also crafted much of the other magnificent equipment of the gods, and almost any finely-wrought metalwork imbued with powers that appears in Greek myth is said to have been forged by Hephaestus: Hermes's winged helmet and sandals, the Aegis breastplate, Aphrodite's famed girdle, Agamemnon's staff of office,[2] Achilles' armor, Heracles' bronze clappers, Helios' chariot, the shoulder of Pelops, Eros' bow and arrows. Hephaestus worked with the help of the chthonic Cyclopes, his assistants in the forge. He also built automatons of metal to work for him. He gave to blinded Orion his apprentice Cedalion as a guide. In one version of the myth, Prometheus stole the fire that he gave to man from Hephaestus's forge. Hephaestus also created the gift that the gods gave man, the woman Pandora and her pithos.
Hephaestus made (Pan)dora - bearing in mind her famous Stargate box -, Hermes' (Thoth) winged helmet (resonating the caduceus staff) and Helios' chariot. Helios (our Sun/Star) chariot connects to many ancient depictions of the sun traversing the heavens in a vehicle the more O.G. version being the Solar Barge of Egyptoid deities. The Sun is the most vivid natural** world symbol of the Stargate, closely associated with the pyramid, indeed in a manner the pyramid is the sun on Earth. The sun's vehicle, the chariot, is a Stargate theme which has been investigated here, at length, in the context of the Checkered Chariot Taxi/Cab and the Chariot Tarot card.
The visual similarity between the chariot and wheelchair is now put forward as a continuation in theme, positing wheelchair as another Chariot of the Gods.
(Many of the preceding ideas inspired by an email received from Richard in Scotland, thanks!)
The Chariot tarot betrays pyramid resonance through the four pillars - the O.G. megalithic twins of Giza and Dashur - and the sphinx, pulling the vehicle of the sun/God. The four pillars on The Chariot cards and Megalithic Mystery Egypt resonate the 11:11/HH themes explored in Pairs and 11:11 Stargate Sync.
Atlantean (Giza) King Triton (Poseidon) from Disney's "The Little Mermaid" with his Solar Chariot, Barge. Is the Chariot of the sun the pyramid itself?
If the pyramid is closely associated with water - as the mound of Atum, Atlantis/Giza connection and Nile regulating function attest to - then perhaps the solar barge vehicle of the sun is also the pyramid itself. Further I personally agree with Ralph Ellis that the Noah's ark/deluge story is connected to Giza. Can we speculate that Noah's ark is the great Pyramid? The boat that saves twined life (gemini, DNA?) from the flood (ice age, deluge?) coming to rest on the mountain/pyramid (K2/Giza?). We will piece this ancient thing together, yet..
The Stargate King as a Pan resonating Wolverine kneels before the Chariot (Sun/Pyramid resonator) with the cross hair (Stargate bullseye) wheels.
Harold Perrineau narrates the television series Oz (Oz is the nickname for the Oswald State Correctional Facility) from his wheelchair.
Oz is 77 in Hebrew Gematria and has the value of Pan. Aleister Crowley - who was the first mountianeer to attempt summiting the K2 pyramount - wrote Liber 77/Oz and the Hymn to Pan. Oz has been superfluously connected synchronously to the Stargate, over time, in these pages. It is indeed (along with KK/K2/2K) the current, pivitol letter code, sync wink.
Harold plays Micheal Dawson in "Lost", stranded on an island after a plane crash. The island is considered interchangeable with NY and Manhattan island, the mysteries often interacting with 911, perfectly exemplified by Perrineau seen with the Pillarmids in a flashback on the show. We have now connected the Matrix sequels star - the word star giving away the Stargate's game, played through actors - with Oz (Pan/77), 911 and the wheelchair chariot. See "The Comic Book Cycle" Part 5 A and B plus recent posts for more synchromystic Lost.
This Lost/Oz/Manhattan syncs have been confirmed in the Season 4 episode "Meet Kevin Johnson" with the line "MANHATTEN, EH! WE LET U LEAVE ONE ISLAND, U JUST GO TO ANOTHER ONE!". This line is referring to Micheal Dawson having left the "Lost" island for his home of Manhattan. (See Aferrismoon's Car-full with that A/X U genes)
Micheal Dawson (Harold) also our Oz/Pan/77 wheelchair (which resonates pyramid via the chariot) bound inmate, builds his own boat to escape the Lost island, further entraining this composite character with Noah and Giza.
Of course this all implies that the Lost island can be synchromystically closely associated with Atlantis and Giza.
Lastly Perrineau is a ships operator in the Matrix films yet another boat/barge/chariot/wheelchair sync wink now complete with added reality bending Matrix flavor.
The "Lost" plain crashes after departing from Australia, often nicknamed Oz. John Locke, box (sacred cuboid/ark) company employee, is wheelchair/chariot bound until the island's mysterious influence enables him to walk.
Actor Terry O'Quinn (Locke from "Lost") in "Millennium" (2K) unveils the mysteries of the unfinished pyramid. We will leave his go at Howard Hughes (HH) in "The Rockateer" well alone, for now...
The twin/Gemini spinal column/Djed Pillar/DNA helix thingemagick of Thoth/Hermes/Noah/Enki/Mercury inside the octagon of "Dharma Initiative" "The Staff Logo".
Worth noting about the Giza, Dome of the Rock and Freedom Tower overhead layout resonating (see All I want for Christmas and The Freedom Tower and the Octagonal Stargate) "Dharma Initiative" octagon from "Lost" is the eight I Ching trigrams.
Terrence McKenna contacted thingemagicks on entheogenics which put him on a path investigating the I Ching leading to Timewave Zero and Novelty Theory correlating with a posited, Mayan calender unveiled, eschaton in 2012. This gives the "Dharma Initiative" octagon and "Lost" 2012 resonance.
(The Octagon as Stargate themed introduced and further explored by Goro Adachi at Etemenanki)
X3's Kitty Pride played by the (.......) (space provided for personal preferred female appreciative) Ellen Page with "Phasing" ability. Phasing involves passing through matter, unobstructed by 'solid' objects. This is a space altering power which resonates the Stargate as any time or space distortion is a Stargate technology or metaphor.
Miss Page stars in "Hard Candy" entraining her further with the Stargate. Sugar and candy - for an, as yet, entirely obscure and mysterious reason - entrains swimmingly with the consciousness focusing sync web (See the JFK Stargate Mega Ritual and The K2/Giza Kandy Cane).
Saturn winks in frame with Ellen in "Hard Candy". Saturn is the planet most often found associated with the Mega Rituals and Stargate. Crowley considered it the key planet in the ever dawning Aeon of Horus while Robert Temple views it as a kind of relay between our planet and the thingemagicks on Sirius. Read the smashing "The Stargate Conspiracy" by Lynn Picknett and Clive Prince for some much needed level headed thinking (albeit extremely rationalist/materialist) on these subjects.
Saturn has recently been confirmed as having a giant stable rotating hexagonal cloud formation over its north pole. Geometry at this scale - usually perceived in smaller natural** objects like sunflowers - points towards the underlying unifying principal of consciousness embedded on all levels of fractal self similarity. The same force that orders Saturn's hexagon and Jupiter's red spot amidst all the surrounding raging chaos creates synchronicity.
It is not that all is ordered and mathematic. It is that all is both ordered and chaotic, at least as perceived by the implied dual nature of mind. Truly all is beyond order and chaos, thought and form, time and space. No-thing (consciousness, Being, God) exists! (Sheesh. Have I become a theist!?)
Juno in mythology is the daughter of Saturn (our ruling planet Stargate signifier) and mother of Vulcan (Hephaestus our Chariot maker). Ellen Page plays the pregnant Juno in this tellingly mightily popular film (which a friend aptly described as 2 hours of the "Gilmore Girls"). We see her above, with accentuated belly (as seen on all marketing for the film), sitting atop two interesting rugs. One seems a concentric petaled star burst, much solar Stargate resonating. The other, a tiger, resonating the Saber-tooth tigers connected to Thoth as seen on the "10 000 BC" poster. A pregnant mother goddess placed over extremely vivid consciousness focusing Stargate motifs. Adding the candy and phasing sync winks we have an increasingly clear progression of the symbolism in Ellen Page. Consciousness is being birthed on the planet as you read this, one can only expect to see the symbolism becoming increasingly sucsynct as the NOW deepens.
For a wonderful unfettered and elegantly simple description of this process I recommend absorbing some Eckhart Tolle (E.T/Extra Terrestrial/Cosmic Consciousness)
Oprah has, surprisingly, recently added her dramatic level of influence to Eckhart's 'cause'.
A brief look into Winfrey's sync web shows her concrete alignment with the Stargate.
In the image above we see that one of her recurring guests is called Dr. Oz (77/Pan), the O even forming a Pineal Stargate Halo around her head.
In Steven Spielberg's "The Color Purple" we see Oprah retaliate against racism in the presence of Coca-Cola (K2 Candy) and "The Matrix's" Laurence Fishburne.
Fishburne apart from his role as Morpheus, ads extra heavyweight syncnificance to Oprah noting his encounter with the evil ship "Event Hori(ZO)n" (77/Pan). Opening Stargates around the gas giant Neptune...
Right after exiting her time square manhole Stargate in "Enchanted" Amy Adams passes a "Color Purple" billboard, itself being passed by a yellow cab Chariot (See JFK Stargate for more "Enchanted").
On a personal note, my third posts at the "Brave New World Order" blog, nearly 2 years ago was Oprah's Satanic Book Club? Before I started to use the blog to chart synchronicity in pop culture I thought myself a Discordian type prankster and made "Oprah's Book Club" stickers, sticking them on such subversive titles as "The Satanic Bible". The joke caught on and the post made it onto the Disinformation web site getting my blog hundreds of early hits. This was really the point at which I realized the potential of a blog. It took quite a few more posts and the attention of Red Ice Creations to put me on the path of synchromysticsm, but in a strange way the ill intentioned joke, at Oprah's expense, was a big part of what lead me to this moment. NOW, I find myself in the strange position of reading and supporting the same material as the very book club I thought to demean. Indeed do many things come to pass..
Weirder still, on the morning of the 1st of January 2007 while vacationing in South Africa, I was slowly achieving the challenging and questionably effective operation of nursing a post new years eve ecstasy comedown, in a moving vehicle, on the highway, traveling from Johannesburg, with cocaine. Suddenly I light bulb lit up in my head (along with a few million chemically excited braincells) while passing the slipway for Henley-on-Klip, a small town not 15 minutes away from my home of Vereeniging, this is the location of Winfrey's experimental Oprah Winfrey Leadership Academy for Girls. Out of sheer curiosity me and a friend took the detour to have a look for ourselves.
There were many luxury cars parked all around the school, I had a digital camera at hand and snapped a few shots of the almost fortified looking building. As we drove of we were pulled over by two security guards, on foot, demanding I yield my camera for inspection. Paranoid from carrying dodgy chemicals in my consciousness and inside our vehicle I relented the device for inspection without question. They lady guard deleted all the photos I took of the building itself leaving me with my new years party pics and this one single image, considered inoffensive enough to pas inspection.
Only later I would find out that Oprah was right there and then, overseeing the opening ceremony, explaining the slick whips and edgy security...
In Opening the Stargate via Adam Sandler the Sphinx's alignment with a KFC/Pizza Hut was explored as connected to the Stargate.
Further entrainment with KFC and the Stargate can be found in both Futurama movie and Atlantis episode, already explored in this post.
A mermaid parodies Colonel Sanders in Atlanta/Atlantis above. We have connected Giza with Atlantis and KFC, now the universe's non local intelligence connects KFC to Atlantis making the Giza as Atlantis hypothesis vivid, synchromystically.
In "Bender's Big Score" one valuable historical item he retrieves while traveling through Stargates is a Gutenberg Bible with the Colonel's secret recipe scribbled over its ancient pages (still above).
The film continues to sync up as a pivotal timeline in the storyline is 2012, a potential looming Stargate Mega Ritual date.
In fact the major time lines of the feature are both Mega Ritual dates, Y2K and 2012. We see Fry at his Pizza delivery job "Panucci's" during the Y2K Mega Ritual (above) and arriving by Stargate mobile or Checker Chariot of the gods in 2012 (below). The Pan of Pannucci's is highlighted as the intact part of the now defunct Pizza joint. Pan is our 77/OZ Stargate resonator, seen here in 2012, accessed through the time travel Stargate. It would seem the syncs are indeed suggesting a Stargate Mega Ritual in 2012.
(For heads up on Checker Chariot syncs read The JFK Stargate)
The mystery lion of Giza, the Sphinx, aligns with a Pizza Hut, connecting again with this Pizza/Pan /2012 sync wink. We have seen Stargate flavored Pizza syncs in connection with Chris Rock and fair Robin Tunney in Z is for Zebra and in Opening the Stargate Via Adam Sandler.
Returning to our Stargate King, Hugh Jackman, we catch up with him as an anthropomorphic rat in "Flushed Away". As Roddy the rodent he takes on the persona of 007 (below). 007 is sighted in esoteric circles as being inspired by famed occultist John Dee. Dee, like Crowley, were both involved in espionage all kinds of bizaro thingamagicks. Meaning, for our purposes, simply, he was a skilled Stargate fiddler.
Shifting between worlds by being flushed down a waterdoor (Stargate) resonating toilet he encounters a rodent version of London City.
The ZO (Pan/77) was spotted no less then three times while watching this, already much Stargate themed, sync goldmine.
1. Our John Dee Stargate King and the ZO above on a DVD reading "Zombie". (above)
2. The NO or ZO, top left, on a robotic arm... (above)
3. The NO or ZO on the pants of love interest Rita (Kate Winslet) as part of the word London and Templar resonating red cross of the Union Jack. (above)
As the movie climaxes a wave heads for the alternate London, adding deluge themes to the proceedings. Deluge and city flooding, in this sync web, connects with Atlantis.
The city is saved in the nick of time through the ingenuity of Jackman, freezing the threat with liquid nitrogen. The theme of frozen water and Atlantean resonance seems a repeating one as it was found before in the "Ice Age" films explored in part one of the Robin Tunney Trillogy videos.
The peak of the Big Ben/Benben obelisk juts out of the frozen wave, in frame, with our Stargate king. The Egyptoid resonating mound, penetrating water, resonates atum, manhattan, Giza and Atlantis. The sync seems to again suggest frozen water, perhaps the last ice age, as intimately connected with these mysteries. Another line of thought pulls consciousness to frozen Himalayan peaks, like the possible original Great Pyramid inspiration, K2.
One more trip with the Planet Express crew in "Bender's Big A Score" leading us in the direction of the frozen waterdoor....
Neptune resurfaces in the sync web having already seen the giant gas planetoid as gravitational anchor to the Stargate opening space ship the "Event Hori(ZO)n". In this cartoon version we view the distant blue ball inhabited by Thothmates (Thoth resonating primates). Yeti's are the Himalayan mountaintops crypto(ZO)ological inhabitants. The Thoth resonating guardians of the secrets frozen atop Pyramounts?
Our last and most current featured Hugh Jackman film is Woody Allen's "Scoop". The poster sees Hugh holding a Thoth deck tarot card designed by Aleister Crowley. Aleister Crowley -K2 mountaineer, Hymn to Pan author and Great pyramid Stargateer - seems to have been the last living or needed, sometimes reluctant, Messiah of the old age, his footprints left vividly in our pop media, leading us into the new age. As consciousness wakes up we can see the sync winks with more clarity. Synchronicities that have entrained with and realized the suchness of now.

Interesting as always. I recognize the interest in your system to reduce concepts to their simplest, must digestible level. If you're interested, you may find even greater resonance between tigers/big cats to Dionysus, who is one and the same as Osiris. In my article Mystos Mustela I equate Wolverine to Dionysus, and further assert Batman as representing this important Mystery idol in Bat Time Bat Channel. I deal with "The Prestige" and its relationship to "Scoop" in some detail in Legerdemain of the Dark Knight III. Not a contention, just a different, and I believe complimentary perspective based upon my research. As always your voice and vision are inspirational.

Great to see you back, Jake. You've certainly been busy! There's so much here I may need a month just to digest it all! Interesting how some of these Aussies are chosen for such pivotal roles.
Just to add my two cents, I think there is a strong belief in high circles that the story of Atlantis was actually that of Mars and that's something I've touched a bit on today. We've seen the ESA shots of Hebes Chasma and those are all about water.

Wow Jake! More great eye-opening (should have that over my third eye when I say that) info! Nice synch winks, which I have seen many of myself, wondering what the cosmic giggle is lately indeed! 2012 another mega ritual huh? Had not thought of that, was hoping that maybe it was indeed an "illuminating consciousness" window making its grand appearance, never know what the alignment will bring about, I am sure Gordo will keep us apprised! Keep up that great work bro! To bad you had to submit your camera over to the Oprah thugs, would have liked to see more photos of the place. Peace brother!

1. Our John Dee Stargate King and the ZO above on a DVD reading "Zombie".
If you look two DVDs over from the Zombie DVD you see one that reads "Tooth."
A couple more interesting facts about Hugh Jackman - his middle name is Michael, making him H. Michael Jackman - another MJ.
One of his earliest jobs was as a clown for children's parties.
An early television role was in Banjo Patterson's The Man from Snowy River - a name that points to frozen water.
I'm curious how his role as Gabriel in Van Helsing works into your synchs. I just watched a couple of Bruce Willis movies (one of them, Hostage, was full of interesting synchs) with the subtitles on because my hearing's getting bad and I notice many, many angel references. Gabriel is the arch-angel, so it seems Jackman's role there is meaningful.
I'm most curious that you didn't mention his role as Peter Allen in The Boy from Oz, for which he won a Tony Award.

One more little thing about Jackman's connection to water and stargates. As Robert Angier in the Prestige, when he duplicated himself using the Tesla machine, one of him was teleported to another place and the other was dropped into a locked water box to drown.

Just wanted to point out that Page's

also, the Page archetype from the Celtic Tarot may guide as well.
Last thing, somewhat off topic---it struck me the other day how much Obama resonates with the Pharaoh archetype--possible reincarnation?

After I read this I went to youtube and saw this about Oprah in the video's being watched now section.
I found it funny how you were putting stickers on religion books and now people are claiming she starting a religion. lol

Dense post. But don't apologize for ranting, Jake. Let it flow as it will. One note to add- Looking at the Juno poster I'm reminded of the Lincoln Memorial statue which has been previously connected to the Emperor tarot card (RWS). The posture is nearly identical, right down to the foot placement.
And to think I actually believed you found those Oprah Book Club stickers on the books. I didn't know YOU were the prankster.

Aussies / Ozzies. We've always called Australia, 'Oz'.
Where does Thoth as Noah or Enki come from? Sabre-tooth I can see, seeing as Thoth's cobra aspect form has similar fangs. Generally though Sehkmet I think, or Bast, would be the Neter associated with the big cats.
Some folks that went to a Tesla lab said it read 'abandon hope ye who enter herein' over it, like Tut's tomb. It's definitely recorded in some of the earlier biographies (ie - who said such an inscription was there).
As to the functions of the Giza pyramids - have you heard of the Flower of Life explanations? They're quite detailed and explain how they were used for initiations, and how the internal geometries and the shafts and so forth were placed to make it easier for the astral body to consciously (and able to record memories of the event) separate from the more densely physical - like Bardo Thodol training, so when (or if) you died your soul wouldn't get lost or overwhelmed or confused.
Also the shaft alignments to the stars would enable a link from you to those far away locales, I suppose the equivalent to things like the idea of galactic chakras.
Another function the Giza pyramids might have had is as ionisers. The needle equivalents could have gone through the shafts, and emitted the -ve ions (which are pollution-clearing, and good for the health). Not that pyramids would be required to do that; it's just that there's other aspects to the pyramids inners that suggest they could be used alongside known of technologies, like natural batteries.
And because another thing ionisers do is attract pollutants - they can be set to emit +ve ions and suck in all the pollutants to a charged plate. (this uses very little electrical power, a natural battery could power such a thing easily)
The best kind use a baseplate of sorts to attract pollutants with +ve ions, while they also emit -ve ions - what those do is bind to pollutants and pathogens and make them fall to the ground, instead of their being airborne.
(nb - this is all scientifically accepted; the Israeli army for example recognises the bad effects of a lack of -ve ions on the mood and stability of people, and provides portable -ve ion generators.
In nature, places like waterfalls and forests are where there's most -ve ions; of course the best air is where it's unspoilt and green.)
Sometimes I wonder if - given the evidence of waterwear on the Sphinx and things like the underground complexes found around Giza with water in them - long ago someone set a pollution controlling device on too high, and sucked all that desert around the device. It's strange how an inundated area could be reduced to desert infertile soil, even if it was badly farmed. Maybe the topsoil just washed away.
Certainly, the ancient Egyptians had very sophisticated agricultural calanders - similar to biodynamics, they'd use the skymap to know when it was time to plant, sow, etc, and Sirius was the one to watch for the Nile inundation timing; so it's difficult to see how they'd manage to reduce their fertile land to sand. Lends weight to what David Hatcher Childress wrote about ancient nuclear type of weapons being responsible for many of the desert areas.
After all, where does infertile desert come from - mountains that have been reduced to rubble (and possibly the rubble being shifted by major floods, from one area to another), and bad farming.
Sure there's arid regions.....but a 1/3 of the planet, that happens to coincide with the areas ancient religious texts say WOMD battles took place.

Please explain the term "The Suchness of Now". What is Suchness? Is this statement in any way different then saying "Such is Now"?
This is a particularly convoluted piece and we are wondering if this is due to composition or the lack of composition. This seems a pertinent inquiry as you've outed yourself as Discordian Prankster. Please explain the labeling of the Oprah's bookclub as the Satanic Bible. Is this merely humor or a statement? It seems cruel.
We wonder why the plain statement of the name Hugh Jackman is not addressed. The Jackman is the Man of John, the name then reads "You are the Man of John", meaning Everyone. Everyone is the stargate jumper.
Pan though important is not All but really Paon, the shepherd. Why hide a goat in the form of an ape? Does animal a equal animal b? It brings to question the intent. If wisdom that transcends the Ages is to be reduced for your purposes then we wonder why you have not yet realized that the source of everything flows from Uranus.
Giza is not Atlantis. The sign post is not the locale it points to. Is this disinformation?
We have read your articles and watched your screens. We note the great merits of your ministry. Yet this article contains disturbing innuendos. Is this part of the conditioning?

as a student of at;lantis I have to say that it isnt a place or even a thing, its a concept.
atlantis is a store of INFORMATION..just like DNA..just like your computer.

No wound is intended to M. Kotze or his followers. We ask specific questions related to our personal experience with this material. We are making an assessment that bears no direct relation to your experience so there is no need for you to take offense. We would not pursue this material if we did not feel it has inherent value. Certainly no system has ever existed that did not elicit questions. It is not wrong to ask. Any philosophical system of any veracity should be able to address skepticism. We make no apologies for not simply placing platitudes. We challenge due to our respect.
Uranus is a reference to the creator god of the Greco-Roman system and we hope you are alone in your knee jerk reaction to this word considering the frequent commentary of mythological models we encounter in these articles. Put simpler Uranus is the sky at night, but take it as you will.
We do not take statements of Discordian intent lightly. We are trying to derive the meaning of this item in this article. As Synchromysticism emphasizes the investigation of veiled content this does not strike us as inappropriate. While we have seen reference to Discordian concepts in these pages and videos in the past we believe there is a world of difference between casual interest in this religion and the active practice of it. We did not state that we are in any way opposed to Discordianism. Quite the contrary. But we are left with possibilities regarding this declaration that we can not account and ask questions in the hopes of further insight. Discordianism is no light matter. We do not understand what you mean by fashionable, but disinformation is inherent in the practice of Discord and we did not think it would hurt to ask.
Atlantean Times thank you for your insight. We agree with what you state to a certain degree. We hold the declaration of finding Atlantis to be one and the same as finding the Holy Grail. This is no casual matter. In every case that we're aware of these pronouncements prove to be further levels of metaphor. How does one encounter this without wanting to understand more clearly? The case for Giza simply has not been made.
M. Kotze can reply or ignore as he sees fit. We hold no expectation and place no judgment on that end. We have neither high or low expectations. We are right to ask the questions that have occurred to us. There are points in this article that do not meet to our satisfaction. Certainly this is no ones concern but our own but we feel this system encourages inquiry. If ego interferes that is human and would answer some questions in itself.

Hi and thanks for all the words left here.
I only want to highlight a few things quickly.
2012 Olympic logo with OZ! Yes it does look that way, nice.
My intent with the work is more to point towards the interconnected universe and our ability to investigate it through synchronicity then to argue for particular occult historical realities. Whatever Atlantis is or isn't, is quite a far second to investigating its delicious sync web for the sheer joy of doing such.
I wrote this about my discordian leanings recently:
If you are patient and follow the syncs, I assure you this will stop seeming like a Discordian put on or a silly ARG. Conciousness plays through matter, already the most beautiful game imaginable, right NOW. Much valued inspiration came from those psychedelic master pranksters of awakening consciousness like Robert Anton Wilson, but I have long since dropped any attempt at tomfoolery (exception) as straight up reality itself is the greatest prankster ever and if well represented lampoons itself.
This was in the post "Rant in Z-Minor", hope it helps explain my view...
An ancient city beyond the pillars sunken in the waters...
An ancient megalith of 'pillars' (pyramids) connected to flooding (The Nile)
I can almost imagine the ancient Egyptian Priests laughing in there sleeves while telling Solon this old coded yarn about there most holy site.
It's just a model to fit data that I feel has some merit.
Be very well

I thought this post gathers somethings together and offers a few more shoots of synchroplay.
A couple of visynchs -
The Mer-Colonel Sanders tie looks as a radiating black sun, the spacing between each 'ray' seems quite regular.
U make it plain that u consider Pan , to some extent, 'beastly'. With Pandora and her Box [ a slang for vagina ] and the chaotic wind that comes out when it's opened + the ever-cyclonic Dorothy Gale - I propose
PANDOROTHEA - a trinity with beast PAN, deity THEO/A and the DOoR, the human who adores and with 'true' aDOORation opens a simply wonderful Stargate. It also has 11 letters.
The Reed boat that Michael DOORson uses to try and get off the island resonates with THOR HEYERDAHL and his reed boats RA and RA 2. He sailed from Polynesia to South America, or vice versa, in the 70s.
The rotating Z to N seems to work around the letter O, due to its circular nature. Thus vertical/horizontal of N/Z seems relevant here, where it may not 'work' next to some impractical letter like K for example.
NZ in the form of New Zealand has cropped up lately. Death of Everest conqueror Edmund HILLary
Synchromoomishly I just posted a thing oriented to WOODY Harrelson, and here u finish with Woody Alien
do u count Table Mountain as a capstoneless wotchumakallit?

Well I am glad that is more cleared up than at first glance. I did not mean to offend either, maybe I was jumping a bit to defend Jake's work, but in hindsight, his work speaks for itself and needs no defense. So, my apologies to Edgar and the like for being a bit "snippy". Free thinkers should and always do ask questions, I understand that entirely. Synchromysticism is so fascinating due to the fact that consciousness IS playing a dynamic and amusing game through matter and reality. Peace and wisdom Jake and keep surfing those waves of consciousness! Later bro!

Flushed Away also features Ian McKellen in the role of the Toad. McKellen was also Magneto in the X-Men movies. One of Magneto's agents was the Toad. One of the Toad of Flushed Away's agents is Spike, voiced by Andy Serkis. Serkis played Mr. Alley in The Prestige, the agent of Tesla. Both Serkis and McKellen are in the Lord of the Rings as Gollum and Gandalf. Serkis also provided the motion used to animate King Kong in Peter Jackson's version.
Did it say "Abandon all hope ye who enter here" on Tut's tomb, or just something similar? I ask because this is a line from Dante's Inferno written on the gates of Hell.

I don't really know what to make of this yet, but as I've been posting on the synchromystic forum about the Nightmare on Elm Street/Kennedy/Lincoln thing I have become more acutely aware of the focus of attention on the black and white races. I have found that Freddy Kruger and this theme also resonate with Edward Scissorhands and Wolverine (Hugh Jackman). It has apocalyptic/judgment tones to it, as well.
In that respect, it seems relevant that you open your post with a show about a sunken (destroyed) city in "The Deep South" - where racism is most persistent and ugly in America. My mind has been playing with this all night. Many myths, legends, and prophecies indicate a major flood/inundation back thousands of years ago and point forward to another major world-changing event by fire in the future. I wonder if these synchs are warning us that racist thoughts and actions over a long period of time have doomed America and a fiery judgment awaits us.

Maybe I should comment here given what I responded at Thuth's re: the Oprah comments, and given a similarish sentiment shows up here - that I have only noticed a few minutes ago.
Although it doesn't surprise me that taking photos of anyone's property (and so forth) could get the photos or even whole camera confiscated (not to mention the distinct possibility of flashy-thing memory erasal and the like - that's what I'd do to anyone snooping around me..), I didn't think anything of the remarks here because they seemed to be based on losing the pictures.

- April 14, 2008 at 9:57 AM
Just some words I emptied from my head...
What I reckon about magick being harmful:
it's like going into space or experimenting with electricity; if you know what you're doing and dealing with, then you should be ok.
but if you treat it with disrespect, & just mess about with it, then it's likely not going to be a good outcome at all.
The other thing about messing about with magick is when you aren't aware of what you're doing it's difficult for you to notice what you have actually done; these things can take time to come around in that you find out just how real something was - yes that thing you thought you could mess with actually does exist, and no they don't take kindly to being pestered or harnessed, particularly for no good reasons.
I also doubt that they can be contained very long by supposing that there are just manifestations you made up yourself? Maybe some are, but the idea of that doesn't work out, cause it means there is only one ego (or beingness) and the rest are all fakes or copies or something like that.
It's easy enough to believe / imagine you can encompass a book and its source material, and that of which it speaks, as manifesations of your own mind that you unconsciously conjured with which to facilitate your greater unfoldment......but try going into a state of expanded mind (like a high dose of LSD or some other magick potion) and holding that kind of thought; your own actual greater-self doesn't go for that kind of limited ego thinking. It's like there's millions of years of Tao-like evolutions, then a tiny parasitic head-growth comes along for a glitch in time and thinks that because it can suppose that it thinks everything into being, then it must have created it all.
Does a camera or a microphone create what it records...or are they made to take recordings of what is already there.
With Dee's system (and those like it) it's certainly heavy-duty in what it covers; the intent alone isn't anything that should be taken lightly. It's not something you'd do for show or to impress people.
Like if you use animals as sideshow entertainment your karma is bad enough; imagine trying to do that with elementals or angels or demons.
Scrying on it's own has all kinds of pitfalls in it; essentially when you look at the future for example, you're projecting your consciousness separated from your own physical now location. Things could unfold exactly as you saw, and then that can lead you to conclude the whole thing is pre-recorded, and your own actions don't matter and nobody actually has a choice.
Thinking that you don't have a choice seems pre-recorded (were you always all along going to look at the future anyway and realise the same things), and that tends to be the sort of thing about it that drives people insane....needs to be borne in mind there aren't exact answers to what spacetime is. Even if you know them in your head, they don't exactly translate into words or even formulae.
There's probably two kinds of people that'd study up on something like magick - the ones that look at it and think 'I need to know what I'd be doing / changing before I use that' and the ones that think 'oh good I can use this to rule over [insert something other than themselves here]'.
It's like computers! If you don't know about computers (or cars, and so on) then you either don't change anything you don't understand fully, or, you just mess about with settings and the engine and anything that you can change; and it breaks & then you have to go get someone that knows what they are doing to sort it out for you.

Yesterday in PE we had to run across the gym for the whole period. Today my legs hurt like heck, and my day hasn't been very peachy keen either. For one, I'm starting to hate peaches, or at least those fake ones that come in cups. And in language arts, this girl who's like everyone's best friend decided to name everyone in the class who she didn't like. Unfortunately I sit at her table so I heard everything. She named an annoying kid who asks too many questions, my best friend, and "Someone She Won't Mention", who would most likely be me since she called me the b-word last year. Her and her best friend are very open about not liking me or my best friend, but it's not like we go around and bad mouth everyone me hate. Or at least I don't.

While my friend decided what me and her got convicted for in a math project we were doing, an administrator was called for me. The reason: holes in my jeans. As soon as I saw him darken the doorway and look my way, I knew. My friend was going crazy, thinking I was getting switched to another class. I calmed her down while I walked to the front of the class. "Do you know what you're here for?" he asked. "Yes, yes." I knew it all before. He looked at my knees, and I tried hard not to roll my eyes. "You're good," like he even had a doubt. Every time, I swear... "I wore these all the time last year," I say to make sure he doesn't waste his, and my, time again. When I sit down, my math teacher looks my way and says "The hole gets bigger when you wash them, you know. Watch out." Like I care.
I'm sorry if I'm sounding like Kenley, but today in PE we had to do something like a pacer, but WORSE.

When asked about the song One After 909, John Lennon said "That was something I wrote when I was about seventeen. I lived at 9 Newcastle Road. I was born on the ninth of October-- the ninth month. It's just a number that follows me around, but numerologically, apparently I'm a number six or a three or something, but it's all part of nine." I believe every culture has that one, or more, number that they depend on, that's lucky for them. Wasn't that why China held the Olympics on 8/8/08? I always believed my lucky number was three since I was born on October 30, 1995 (1+9+9+5=24, 2+4=6). But on the day when I was getting my braces right outside the orthodontist's office, I found a little Uno card. It was a green 7, and just then I realized that everything would be alright. How's that for luck?

Argument recap: Irizarry v. US
Arguing for Petitioner, Arthur J. Madden, III emphasized the importance of notice in ensuring that all issues influencing sentencing are subject to "thorough adversarial testing." Madden argued that such testing did not occur here because the judge announced her reason for sentencing outside the Guidelines range at the same time that she actually imposed the sentence. Responding to questions from Justices Scalia, Alito, and Ginsburg about the practicalities of requiring notice, Mr. Madden argued that notice would only be required in the "extraordinary cases" "" such as Petitioner's "" in which the grounds for departure were not made clear by the presentence report. Mr. Madden agreed with Justice Souter that the real problem here was the lack of time for the defendant to respond to the judge's reason for varying. Turning to the text of Rule 32(h), Justice Scalia asked Mr. Madden why the Court should read the term "departure" more broadly today than it was read when the rule was adopted. Mr. Madden responded that the Court in Burns construed that subsection to implement the structure of Rule 32 more generally. Justice Ginsburg then asked him why the Court should read the 3553(a) factors into Rule 32(h) when the rule-writers failed to make that change when amending the rule in 2007. Mr. Madden responded that the 2007 amendments were not meant to limit the scope of Rule 32(h), but were only intended to allow the probation officer and the court to "think more broadly" in creating the PSR and in sentencing.
Appearing for the United States as respondent, Assistant to the Solicitor General Matthew D. Roberts began by arguing that when Rule 32(h) was originally enacted, it required notice for all deviations then available, and thus that the rule should continue to be read broadly. In addition, Mr. Roberts argued that a notice requirement for variances is required "to prevent evisceration" of the notice requirement for traditional departures because a court may use a variance to impose the same sentence that it could have imposed through a departure. Justice Alito and Chief Justice Roberts asked Mr. Roberts why the question as to the scope of the rule shouldn't be left to the rulemaking process, noting that the rules advisory committee is currently considering the issue. Mr. Roberts responded that the rule-writers have previously stated that they are waiting for the Supreme Court to resolve the question. Turning to the practical requirements of the proposed notice rule, Mr. Roberts said that timing of notice must be "context-specific," but that in "all but the most unusual cases notice a day or two in advance" would be sufficient. Returning to this topic later in the argument, Mr. Roberts stated that a court would have to, at a minimum, identify the relevant 3553(a) factor, and that additional requirements would depend on the broadness of the factor at issue. Mr. Roberts noted that the government's theory required less specific notice than did Petitioner's, and emphasized that the government's rule would not be burdensome. In response to questioning from Justice Stevens, Mr. Roberts emphasized that courts would have to extend or postpone hearings only rarely to allow the litigants to fully explore the issues by, for example, bringing in experts to testify as to the availability of alternative treatments. Turning to the harmlessness issue, Mr. Roberts argued that the failure to give notice in this case was harmless because the PSR had already identified a similar ground for departure, and Mr. Irizarry knew that his future dangerousness would be central to his wife's victim impact testimony. More broadly, Mr. Roberts argued that the Court should address the harmlessness issue in order to provide guidance to the lower courts. Finally, in response to the Chief Justice's statement that, under the government's rule, "I suppose we'll have a lot of appeals about the adequacy of the notice," Mr. Roberts noted that the same questions already come up with regard to traditional departures.
Peter B. Rutledge then argued as amicus curae in support of the judgment below. Mr. Rutledge began by noting that the Court could affirm either because the presentence report put the parties on adequate notice that the defendant's future dangerousness and amenability to alternative treatment would be at issue, or because Rule 32(h) was drafted for "an era of mandatory guidelines" and should not extend to today's system, in which the Guidelines are only advisory. Justice Ginsburg then pressed Mr. Rutledge about whether, under his rule, judges might avoid the notice requirement of Rule 32(h) by recasting what would otherwise be a departure as a variance. Mr. Rutledge responded that the whole premise of the post-Booker advisory system is discretion, that judges still begin their sentencing analysis by consulting the guidelines, and that judges might be inclined to use departures rather than variances insofar as departures may receive greater deference on appeal. Responding to questions about the continued relevance of departures and Rule 32(h), Mr. Rutledge argued that the two main rationales for the Court's ruling in Burns (and the codification of that decision in Rule 32(h)) no longer apply. First, Burns was motivated by a desire to avoid unfair surprise; after Booker, however, parties can no longer expect a sentence within the Guidelines. Second, because parties now come to the hearing with knowledge of the 3553 factors that may be considered, Burns's goal of ensuring full adversarial testing is satisfied without a more specific notice requirement. Mr. Rutledge next noted that, in "rare cases of truly unfair surprise," the parties may request a continuance. In response to questioning from Justice Kennedy, Mr. Rutledge argued that a notice requirement would be unworkable insofar as it would be very difficult for a judge at sentencing to know how much notice is adequate. Mr. Rutledge concluded by noting that, in December 2007, the Advisory Committee on Criminal Rules formed a subcommittee to study the notice requirement, and thus, the "more prudent course" for the Court would be to affirm the judgment below.
On rebuttal, Mr. Madden argued that the right to comment on matters appropriate to sentencing must be accompanied by a right to notice in order to ensure fairness to individual defendants, effective appellate review, and some uniformity in sentencing. Finally, Mr. Madden re-emphasized that cases in which the PSR does not spell out all potential sentencing factors are "extremely rare," and thus that requiring notice would not be unworkable.

Ana Maria Rosato is the former spokesperson for the Keith Fitzgerald Campaign for Congress. She recently resigned her visible position after her potty mouth became known to the public.
Her vulgar online postings are not an isolated incident among the liberal fringe of the Democratic Party. Practically every Democrat from the president to Keith Fitzgerald had a predictable fur-ball over Rush Limbaugh's description of Sandra Fluke — a word we'll avoid using here. Yet no one from the president down to Keith Fitzgerald ever mentioned Ed Schultz of MSNBC when he made a remark on May 23, 2011, calling radio talk-show host Laura Ingraham the same word that Limbaugh used.
That one hit home for me. Ms. Ingraham was a student at Glastonbury High School in Connecticut during my first teaching assignment. The Dartmouth grad received her law degree before becoming one of the most brilliant political commentators on cable television. What happened in the liberal blogosphere after Schultz's remark? Nothing.
And of course, President Obama has declined to condemn TV comedian Bill Maher for calling former Alaskan Gov. Sarah Palin a despicable term during a live show in Dallas. Really? The president pleads that in criticizing Limbaugh he's protecting his daughters from Rush Limbaugh's big stumbling mouth. But the president then at the same press conference refused to protect Mrs. Palin.
Obviously, the president really is more interested in the $1 million Bill Maher contributed to a friendly super-political action committee rather than women who might disagree with him politically.
To date, Keith Fitzgerald has not issued any public condemnation of Bill Maher. Yet, he brings in Sandra Fluke to Sarasota and hires a rabid feminist as his contact with the public.
Ana Maria Rosato, Keith Fitzgerald, Sandra Fluke and Barack Obama, all use outrage selectively. It's time to send Mr. Fitzgerald and President Obama a message!

Portola Valley, CAHome Sitemap Contact
Native Plants and Landscaping
The Town's Conservation Committee recently reviewed and updated the Native Plant List and Discouraged Plant List for Portola Valley, and they will soon be incorporated into the Town's Design Guidelines. Landscape design in Portola Valley should seek to preserve the qualities of the natural environment through the use of native plant materials and landscaping plans that provide a blended transition to adjacent open areas.
In 2013, the Portola Valley Backyard Habitat Award program was created to encourage creation of backyard habitats that preserve or recreate the natural spaces that allow native flora and fauna to thrive. Successful applicants receive a unique marker that designates their property as a friend to nature. To learn more about this program and/or download an application, please visit the Backyard Habitat webpage.
Native Plant List
The updated Native Plant List is divided up into Native Trees, Native Shrubs, Native Ground Covers, Native Perennials, Native Bulbs and Native Annuals/Wildflowers. These plants and trees are indigenous to (living naturally in) Portola Valley. Therefore, they are highly recommended choices for use here not only for their beauty and contribution to the rural aspect of the valley, but also because they are among those most likely to thrive with the least care.
Additionally, supplemental lists of plants native to California, but not found in Portola Valley naturally, have been compiled. While not indigenous to Portola Valley, these Supplemental Trees, Supplemental Shrubs, Supplemental Perennials, and Supplemental Ground Covers are native to other parts of California and will perform well here.
The Strongly Discouraged List (Discouraged Trees, Discouraged Shrubs, and Discouraged Ground Covers) highlights plants that are not appropriate for use in Portola Valley as they are non-natives, have been introduced here, and have adapted so well as to crowd out the natives, presenting a real threat to the local plant community. These plants should be avoided.
These lists are intended for use in conjunction with the Town's approved landscape guidelines (see Design Guidelines document) that provide additional insight and guidance into appropriate plantings for particular locales.
Portola Valley Approved Native Seed Mixes
The following approved seed mixes should be used for erosion control and hydroseeding of areas disturbed by construction. For your convenience, you can download a the seed mix list as a handout.
Where to find these mixes**:
Pacific Coast Seed (800) 733-3462 www.pcseed.com
Hedgerow Farms (530) 662-6847 www.hedgerowfarms.com
**When purchasing your seed mix, please ask the seller to provide you with
the full series of steps required to prepare the ground before planting. If
the seed is applied without prior control to kill all of the weed seeds in the
soil, the native seeds will not be able to compete and grow.

The flat guy with or without the hat?
I got a few primitives myself! I had to, since my loving yet evil sister snatched a bunch of my Halloween decor this summer from my attic, when I was sick and she came to my house to help my husband take care of me.
Yes... she is still gloating and yes... she is the true embodiment of Hallowwen!

Bangladesh and India have some of the most intricate and complex river systems in the world. The Ganges, Brahmaputra and Meghna, the three major rivers, along with their tributaries drain an area of about 1.75 million square kilometres supporting a population of 620 million people.
Bringing together India and Bangladesh to better manage these precious resources can be challenging. But that's exactly what Frank van der Valk, Director of IUCN's "Ecosystems for Life: A Bangladesh-India initiative" is trying to do.
Speaking at the World Water Forum in Marseille, Frank explains what are the major problems facing communities in India and Bangladesh regarding water.
At a national level Bangladesh and India have never come to physical blows over water resources, but there are problems that persist.
So what is IUCN doing to improve this relationship.
But it's not just experts that IUCN are working with.
Ecosystems for Life: A Bangladesh-India Initiative is a civil society led multi-stakeholder dialogue process to promote better understanding of the management of natural resources in Bangladesh and India. Ecosystems for Life works to develop a shared vision and understanding of food, livelihood and water security issues through collaborative research and studies, creation of a knowledge hub, developing research-based policy options and enhancing the capacity of civil society stakeholders to participate in the management of natural resources.

Well according to RIANZ, someone has been pinged $600 under the 3 strikes law
The Recording Industry Association says it has won its first music piracy case before the Copyright Tribunal under a controversial law, with the offender being fined $616.
RIANZ - an organisation which represents record labels and musicians - said today a claim it brought to the tribunal was upheld, in a decision that is the first of its kind under 2011 changes to copyright laws.
The amendment to the law allows rights holders - such as movie studios or music companies - to issue warning notices to users believed to be illegally downloading copyrighted content.
After a third notice, rights holders can bring a case before the tribunal, which can fine an offender up to $15,000.
In a statement, RIANZ said today it was pleased the tribunal had "upheld laws protecting the rights of artists" and via email a spokesperson said the exact penalty dished out to the offender was $616.57.
"However, as you'll note, it's not about the money for RIANZ, it's about making a point that illegal file sharing is not okay and that if you do it and are caught you can expect to face a fine," a spokesperson said.
RIANZ said there are 11 further cases still live before the Tribunal.
The recording industry body would not release the tribunal's full decision and the Herald has made a request to the Ministry of Justice for this.

Truth be told, I like to write and help people. As a Christian and after teaching the bible for over twenty years, I decided that the main obstacle to overcome in class was the constant confusion by the students. Most had an opinion or belief that had little if anything to do with the Bible. So, I decided to take them back to the beginning. I have always maintained that truth of the Word of God manifests. If one doesn't see results, than it is time to figure out where the errs are in their understanding.
From this perspective, I began writing in-depth bible study books for anyone who wants to know the Truth. My writings continued as I added children's books, a novel, fiction, and self-help books for teens and young adults. I believe everyone who likes to read can enjoy one of my many books.

METRO VANCOUVER -- Accused cocaine trafficker Wayne Scott claimed in B.C. Supreme Court on Monday that he had no idea that both his son and daughter had faced criminal charges while they were living in his Abbotsford house.
Scott made the statement after federal Crown Maggie Loda challenged him on his assertion that he was completely unaware of how the criminal justice system worked when he and co-accused Jarrod Bacon were arrested Nov. 26, 2009 after a lengthy undercover investigation.
Scott is challenging the admissibility of an incriminating statement he gave to police after his arrest, saying he wasn't given proper legal advice, didn't understand his rights and felt coerced by an officer with the Combined Forces Special Enforcement Unit who asked him if his daughter Carly was involved in the cocaine importation scheme.
But Loda suggested people close to him - including his children and Bacon - had first-hand experience with arrests, charges and court appearances that pre-dated Scott's charges.
She showed Scott a document laying out charges against his son Christopher in April 2008 and earlier counts laid against Carly - Bacon's girlfriend - in 2005.
Scott said he knew nothing about his son's charges until Loda mentioned them in court Monday and only learned about the counts against his daughter this past weekend when she mentioned she had gone to Mission RCMP to get them removed from her record.
"So you have a son that you didn't know he was arrested and charge although he was living with you?" Loda asked. "You have a daughter who was living with you who you didn't know was arrested and charged in 2005?"
Scott said he knew Jarrod had faced charges, but that he never asked him about it because "that's none of my business."
Scott took the stand as the cocaine conspiracy trial resumed Monday after a month-long adjournment due to him being ill..
Scott and Bacon, 28, were charged with one count of conspiracy to traffic cocaine two years ago after the CFSEU investigation using a police agent who can only be identified as GL because of a ban on his identity.
Scott told B.C. Supreme Court Justice Austin Cullen that he thought he had to tell police everything he knew once he was arrested. And he claimed that he didn't know he was speaking to a lawyer after police arranged a call with an on-call legal aid service after his arrest.
Loda showed Scott parts of his video-taped statement where he nods and tells Det. Laurence Rankin that he spoke to "legal counsel."
On Monday he said he didn't know what the term "legal counsel" meant and was tired and stressed after the arrest.
And he testified that he felt pressure to talk after Rankin asked whether Carly had a role in the conspiracy.
He agreed with his lawyer Jeremy Guild that he was "very much" concerned Carly would get dragged into the investigation.
"I believed he was asking questions wanting to know if she was involved. In my eyes, she was not," Scott said.
"I would protect my daughter or any of my kids till my last breath."
Guild argued Scott's Charter right to legal counsel was violated and that his statement should be ruled involuntary because he perceived "an inducement or threat" was made during the interview.
Scott initially claimed Monday that the person from legal aid he spoke to made no mention of his right to silence. But under cross-examination, he admitted they might have told him "he shouldn't say anything."
Scott's full police interview has not been played in court, though a few details were revealed through his testimony Monday.
Scott said once Det. Rankin started talking to him he was worried the officer "was putting me in the same category as the Bacons."
"I have never been involved in anything of their sort," he testified, before adding. "I don't know what they do."
The trial continues.

KABUL, Afghanistan, Oct. 30 (UPI) -- More than 2,900 Afghan civilians and police personnel have died in Taliban attacks across Afghanistan in the past seven months, the government said.
The Interior Ministry said the militants carried out about 6,000 attacks and bombings during that period, Khaama Press reported.
Gen. Salim Ehsas, chief of the Afghan police forces in the ministry, told reporters those killed included 1,273 public order police service members, 779 Afghan local police, and 856 civilians. He said more than 5,000 civilians and police officers were also injured.
Ehsas said during the same seven-month period, Afghan national security forces conducted about 300 independent and 1,500 joint operations with the coalition forces, in which 2,168 militants were killed and about 1,720 militants were captured.
The report said the U.N. Assistance Mission in Afghanistan earlier this month reported there has been a 16 percent increase in civilian casualties in the country in the past eight months. The mission's human right director said anti-government militant groups have been deliberately targeting civilians.

You know we've been talking about Hillary and cleavage these last few weeks, and just this morning I was reading William Safire's "On Language" column about the word "cleavage":
Cleavage is a strong but multifaceted old noun that has gained an additional meaning. The Teutonic verb cleave means "to split asunder"; the split hoof of many animals is said to be cloven.And the devil!
The O.E.D. found cleavage to have made its appearance in 1816 about the mechanical division of crystals "sometimes called cleavage by lapidaries" (cutters of gems, nothing to do with lap-dancing). It also became a metaphor in church controversies: "When differences of religious opinion arose, they split society to its foundation," noted an 1867 essay on Martin Luther. "The lines of cleavage penetrated everywhere."Eggs!
We now turn to its sexual sense.... In the zoologist Ernst Haeckel's 1875 "History of Creation," the propagation of the egg cell by repeated self-division was described as "the so-called 'cleavage of the egg,' " which we now know forms blastomeres and changes the single-celled zygote into a multicellular embryo, and which brings us to the recent explosion in the word's usage....
"There was cleavage on display Wednesday afternoon on C-SPAN-2," wrote Robin Givhan, a Pulitzer Prize-winning fashion writer for The Washington Post. "It belongs to Senator Hillary Clinton. . . . There wasn't an unseemly amount of cleavage showing," the reporter granted, but she found it "a provocation" and "startling to see that small acknowledgment of sexuality and femininity."This inspired me to do some research. Legal research, as chance would have it. Imagine! Me, a law professor, doing legal research. Has the Supreme Court ever used the word "cleavage," and, if so, has it used it in the recent, Hollywood sense of a cloven bosom?
The word was then in political play....
The last time the word got this much publicity was more than a half-century ago....
I did not realize it at the time, but the lapidarian-religious-medical meanings of cleavage had only recently been joined by a new sense of "the cleft between a woman's breasts as revealed by a low-cut décolletage." That O.E.D. definition has as its earliest citation a Time magazine article of Aug. 5, 1946: "Low-cut Restoration costumes . . . display too much 'cleavage' (Johnson Office trade term for the shadowed depression dividing an actress's bosom into two distinct sections)." Unless a search engine belches out an earlier usage, that's a coinage stunner: it was Hollywood that invented the latest sense of cleavage.
The answer is that the Court has used the word 31 times, beginning in 1913, and 30 of these instances have had nothing to do with human anatomy: "society's racial and ethnic cleavages," "possible cleavage between black and white voters," "the fundamental cleavage which Article I made between apportionment of Representatives among the States and the selection of Representatives within each State," "more or less definite lines of cleavage among the Justices" -- you get the point.
But there is one use of the word stands out, and it's a reference to Ann-Margret:
Nicholson has been running through an average of a dozen women a year but has never managed to meet the right one, the one with the full bosom, the good legs, the properly rounded bottom. More than that, each and every one is a threat to his malehood and peace of mind, until at last, in a bar, he finds Ann-Margret, an aging bachelor girl with striking cleavage and, quite obviously, something of a past. `Why don't we shack up?' she suggests.That's from a Rehnquist opinion, but Rehnquist did not come up with that prose. He's quoting a Hollis Alpert review of the movie "Carnal Knowledge" (and finding the movie not obscene).
Don't you wish you were there when the Justices watched that movie? Fortunately, that case, Jenkins v. Georgia, came up during the period covered in the Bob Woodward & Scott Armstrong book "The Brethren":
A screen was set up, and several Justices attended the special showing. As the film progressed, there was little of the usual cackling, running commentary or leg slapping.I would like to end this post with a nice YouTube clip, but my head is reeling after looking through some of the crazy stuff a search for Ann-Margret turns up. Like this. I think I'm going to go home and act like this. Wait. This is good. And this is blurry and full of bad, but still good.
"I thought we were going to see a dirty movie," Marshall commented at the end of the movie. "The only thing obscene about this movie is that it is obscenely boring," said White. The Chief left early. He told his clerks the camera work and the lighting had been well done. Rehnquist said he liked the music.
Now, go research something.
ADDED: Damn! I put the wrong link on "going to go home and at like this." Ruined the joke. Try it now. ACTUALLY: I've removed all the those links in the end. They've all gone bad. Some YouTube policing, presumably. I hope you caught them when they were good. AND: Links restored.
