Tarot Cards As Criminal Twilight Language

The Joker? The Hierophant? Jack the Ripper? The Hanging Man? Twilight Language abounds.

As a followup to the recent Austin shootings (see "Gunman McQuilliams Targets 3 Major Austin Governmental Sites"), the identification of the shooter as Larry Steven McQuillams revealed his use of the Twilight Language.

Before his attack, McQuilliams changed his last public individual Facebook profile photo to the following:

It is the Hierophant Tarot card (h/t SMiles). Following is the complete view.

The Hierophant (V), in some decks named The Pope, is the fifth trump or Major Arcana card in most traditional Tarot decks.
...
In many modern packs, the Hierophant is represented with his right hand raised in what is known esoterically as the blessing or benediction, with two fingers pointing skyward and two pointing down, thus forming a bridge between Heaven and Earth reminiscent of that formed by the body of The Hanged Man. The Hierophant is thus a true “pontiff”, in that he is the builder of the bridge between deity and humanity.
...
In most iconographic depictions, the Hierophant is seen seated on a throne between two pillars symbolizing Law and Liberty or obedience and disobedience, according to different interpretations. He wears a triple crown, and the keys to Heaven are at his feet. Sometimes he is shown with worshippers, as his alternate title is the Pope or, sometimes, Jupiter.
...
Some interpretations also suggest a link between the card and the myth of Isis and Osiris, a claim made about many cards. Source. 

There is a long tradition of leaving "calling cards" of various types at crime scenes. 

One of the most significant examples in history is those left by Jack the Ripper, which were wrongly interpreted as being Jewish in origin, when, in fact, they were Masonic.

Jack the Ripper is believed to have left two calling cards by Goulston Street, London on September 30, 1888, the night he murdered Elizabeth Stride and Catherine Eddowes: a scrap of Eddowes' apron and some graffiti reading Juwes are the men That Will not be Blamed for nothing. Source.

First off, the actual location of the killings, near or in Mitre Square is important, Freemasonically.

Also, in one widely disseminated theory:

Author Stephen Knight suggested that "Juwes" referred not to "Jews," but to Jubela, Jubelo and Jubelum, the three killers of Hiram Abiff, a semi-legendary figure in Freemasonry, and furthermore, that the message was written by the killer (or killers) as part of a Masonic plot. There is no evidence that anyone prior to Knight had ever referred to those three figures by the term "Juwes". Knight's suggestion was used in fictional treatments of the murders, such as the film Murder by Decree, and the graphic novel From Hell by Alan Moore and Eddie Campbell. Source.

In terms of the Beltway Sniper mystery, Tarot cards were used to leave messages.

John Muhammad and Lee Malvo, the so-called "Beltway Snipers," engaged in 23 days of random attacks in the Washington, D.C, area, in October 2002. Muhammad used a Bushmaster .223 rifle.

On October 7, 2002, at 8:09 a.m., Iran Brown, a 13-year-old boy, was shot in the abdomen and critically wounded as he arrived at the Benjamin Tasker Middle School at 4901 Collington Road in Bowie, Maryland, in Prince George's County (Brown's name was concealed from the public but was later revealed). His aunt, a nurse who had just brought him to school, rushed him to a hospital emergency room. Despite serious injuries, including damage to several major organs, Brown survived the attack and ultimately testified at Muhammad's trial. At this crime scene the authorities discovered a shell casing as well as a Tarot card (the Death card) inscribed with the phrase, "Call me God" on the front and, on three separate lines on the back, "For you Mr. Police." "Code: 'Call me God'. Do not release to the press."
...
Allegedly, at several scenes Tarot cards were left as calling cards, including one Death card upon which was written "Call me God" on the front and on the back on three separate lines the words, "For you mr. Police." "Code: 'Call me God'." "Do not release to the press." This information was leaked to the press and misquoted often as "I am God" or some similar misquote of the actual words on the tarot card. Source.

Do HuffPost Writers Read Sync Blogs?

Update: The Day After The Election ~ November 5, 2014. "Red Dawn" again, this time on MSNBC. They had Ron Reagan making comments, but the imagery was almost graphic novel-like.

Readers of the Twilight Language may be wondering if the Huffington Post headline writers are readers of my synchromystic friends' and my blogs. Seems like it today.

Can you believe the headlines from HuffPost in the last 24 hours?

The "Red Dawn" headline appeared and disappeared only a few hours later, on the evening of November 3rd. "Twilight" came along, showing a scene that looked like the middle of the night. Next was "Dem Doomsday."

All were thoughtful, but as one correspondent put it to me, they were clearly "synchromystical."

Of course, "red dawn" has been used frequently in the last two years across the blogosphere, after some of us pointed to the literal translation of Colorado-Aurora into "Red Dawn," immediately after The Dark Knight Rises shootings of July 20, 2012, at that specific location.

The use of "Twilight" and "Doomsday" are self-explanatory, as far as their relationship with items that sync students are studying. 

I warned about this week being hot and/or maybe even hopeful, leading up to November 7th.

Red Pill Junkie alerts me to news of a woman setting herself on fire in Bulgaria, at the presidential headquarters in Sofia on Monday, November 3, 2014. Also, he and others mention the World Trade Center finally "reopened" after 13 years. The first tenants moved in Monday.

Meanwhile, I see other horrors continued, in the wake of an awful Halloween full of lots of kids' deaths. 

Late Monday (November 3, 2014) night, Jillian Meredith McCabe, 34, of Seal Rock, threw her 6-year-old son, London McCabe, off the Yaquina Bay Bridge, near Newport , Oregon. She reportedly said voices told her to do it.

You saw other terrible news, perhaps, locally, as well.

Still, I think these events are a bit off the mark of what I see coming for this week - from the heavens.

Here come old flattop, he come grooving up slowly

He got joo-joo eyeball, he one holy roller

He got hair down to his knee

Got to be a joker he just do what he please 

. . . 

Got to be good-looking cos he's so hard to see

Come together right now over me

~ Come Together, 1969, written by John Lennon.

Beyond Room 237: Pitch Perfect 237 and 9/11

The number 237 has been appearing frequently in synchromystic circles, of late. On October 14, 2014, I posted "Flight 237, Obama's 237, and Room 237." This was stimulated by the Flight 237 Ebola scare at Logan Airport, Boston. But it tracks back, today, to 9/11's beginning in Portland, Maine, via Logan Airport, to the Twin Towers in New York City.

"Room 237 is a deep rabbit hole." ~ Sibyl Hunter, May 26, 2014.

"Breaking Breaking Bad: 237." ~ iAhuasca, August 25, 2013.

In my 10.14.14 discussion, I posted the documentary, Room 237, which analyzes The Shining.

 

Room 237 has received film world praise. And thus it has spammed at least one good copycat, of sorts.

This new documentary is Pitch Perfect 237, by Cook St. Productions. (View here, if video does not show up.)

What quickly becomes apparent is that Pitch Perfect 237 - without getting in the way of itself - is a well-made documentary that has great synchromystic insights. It mixes the topic with equal parts of humor and deep twilight symbolism. This, of course, is being done as if one of the stars of the Twilight movies, Anna Kendrick, has some control over what is being revealed.

The secret behind the insights in Pitch Perfect 237 is the seemingly tongue-in-cheek observations on the role of 9/11 in Pitch Perfect, as if that is its primary hidden message. But even in humor individuals can decode twilight language.

Pitch Perfect 237 is clever. The male singers, The Troublemakers, sing a song (and act it out) about planes, and the Barden Bellas, dress as airline attendants, as they sing. Pitch Perfect 237 counts them and, humm, finds the numbers intriguing.

Enki King, who posted this video on his Facebook wall, also mentioned, "It just occurred to me that Anna Kendrick is from Portland Maine, and Mohammed Atta flew out of Portland International Jetport the morning of 9/11. Hmmm..."

I live in Portland, Maine, and have written of the mystery of Atta in Portland. Being in Portland, people also are very aware of the actress Anna Kendrick being from here. Portland is a small world.

"Kendrick was born [August 9, 1985] in Portland, Maine, the daughter of Janice (née Cooke), an accountant, and William K. Kendrick, a history teacher who also works in finance....She attended Deering High School in Portland," notes Wikipedia.

Anna Kendrick's "Beca" is given insights about the world through viewing The Breakfast Club.

Another actor from Portland, Maine appears in Pitch Perfect.  Judd Nelson is shown via film outtakes from The Breakfast Club.

"Nelson was born [November 28, 1959 or July 28, 1959 - both are given] in Portland, Maine, the son of Merle (née Royte), a court mediator and former member of the Maine state legislature, and Leonard Nelson, a corporate lawyer....He went to...Waynflete School in Portland, Maine," says Wikipedia.

To a conspiracy theorist, even a conspiracy humorist making links to 9/11, the fact that two Portland, Maine actors are in Pitch Perfect is a coincidence somewhat beyond statistical chance. Interestingly, the filmmaker of Pitch Perfect  237 never mentions the 9/11-Portland-Kendrick-Nelson links.

Another actress with Portland, Maine - and Waynflete - in her blood is Liv Tyler, who "was born Liv Rundgren [July 1, 1977] at Mount Sinai Hospital in New York. She is the only daughter of Bebe Buell, a model, singer, and former Playboy Playmate (Miss November 1974), and Steven Tyler, the lead singer of Aerosmith....[She attended] Breakwater School and Waynflete School in Portland, Maine, before returning to New York City with her mother at age 12," mentions Wikipedia. In 2002, she starred in The Lord of the Rings: The Two Towers - a film that has received its fair share of 9/11 analysis. Just saying.

Some of the imagery in Pitch Perfect - and Pitch Perfect 237 - such as this cover of Cat Scratch Fever over the head of Skylar Lipstein, is difficult to understand.

Of course, after viewing Pitch Perfect 237, you may be left scratching your head about why nothing was said about Room 334 appearing in Pitch Perfect. The clip of Room 334 is at 1:11 in Perfect Pitch 237.

I do have to note there was a strange televised program in 2010-2012 entitled Inside Room 334. It was a web series where a fictional deranged hotel owner installs a spy camera inside Room 334, and posts the clips he collects online. Bizarre, to say the least.

9/11 School Shooter Escapee Had A Pitchfork!

Synchronicity, synchromysticism, and the twilight language can be downright spooky.

Needless to say, for several weeks I've been writing about all the tridents appearing in various stories.

On September 10, 2014, I wrote about "Tridents, Pitchforks, and Satan in the News."

After specifically defining the trident versus the pitchfork, I noted, "The 'pitchfork' of Satan looks remarkably like a trident. One has merged with the other."

Then on September 11, 2014, I shared the details of the breaking news that "David Icke-Inspired School Shooter T. J. Lane Escapes From Prison on 9/11."

It turned out that Lane was caught six hours after escaping, but for awhile, it was a rather dramatic 9/11 story.

The next morning, September 12, 2014, I overviewed the 9/11 incidents, including Lane's capture and the fact that "Pokémon Invades White House Lawn."

Now tonight, Monday, September 15, 2014, the news comes across the wire that – unbelievably – escaped school shooter T. J. Lane was CARRYING A PITCHFORK!

What?

As one comment maker, Cory Panshin, nicely put it: "Color me officially freaked."

Talk about a "coincidence" that feels far from one! You can't make this stuff up.

AP reporter Andrew Welsh-Huggins wrote: "The school shooter who briefly escaped from an Ohio prison last week had a pitchfork when he was captured, the state patrol said Monday as newly released records added to the picture of an inmate frequently in trouble behind bars. T.J. Lane, convicted of killing three students at Chardon High School in the Cleveland area in 2012, did not threaten officers with the pitchfork, and it isn't known where he got it from, said patrol Lt. Craig Cvetan." Source.

And there is more:

"On Friday, the morning after the escape and while back in custody, he was found with excess property in his cell, including clothes, 15 books and Pokemon video game cards, according to prison records provided to The Associated Press through an open records request. Prison officials confiscated the items. The book titles weren't available." Source.

Pitchfork. Pokémon video game cards. I wonder what the titles of those 15 books are?

What madness is this?

Trailers, Twisters, and Twilight Language

Is the chaos of Pan organized?

Folk wisdom says that tornadoes and trailers do not mix well. Some traditions even point to data that "trailers attract tornadoes."

The latter thought is said to be a myth. Or so we have been told.

As general sources like Wikipedia note, the idea that manufactured housing units, or mobile homes/trailers, attract tornadoes has been around for decades. This may appear to be true at first from looking at tornado fatality statistics: from 2000 to 2008, 539 people were killed by tornadoes in the US, with more than half (282) of those deaths in mobile homes. Only around 6.8% of homes in the US are "manufactured/mobile homes."

The skeptics say that it is highly unlikely that single-story structures such as mobile homes can have a substantial effect on tornado development or evolution. More people are killed in trailer parks because mobile homes are less able to withstand high winds than permanent structures, the debunkers remark. Winds which can demolish or roll a mobile home may only cause roof damage to a typical one- or two-family permanent residence. Another likely contributing factor to the continued propagation of this myth is confirmation bias: whenever a new instance of a tornado hitting a mobile home park occurs, media outlets report on it more extensively, ignoring damage to the surrounding area which may not have produced as many casualties, this according to Thomas P. Grazulis (2001: p. 12), "Tornado Myths" in The Tornado: Nature's Ultimate Windstorm. University of Oklahoma Press.

But among Forteans, tornadoes and trailers (a/k/a mobile homes) have been openly discussed since the 1970s.

Through indirect examples in Weird America (New York: EP Dutton, 1978) and then more directly in The Rebirth of Pan (Dunlap, Illinois: Firebird Press, 1983), Jim Brandon discusses the concept that trailers and tornadoes appeared to be tied together in the history of America.

"One of the most obvious and at the same time puzzling occurrences that must be grappled with by the Fortean anomalist are the recurrent outburst of hostile force that seem directed toward mobile homes." ~ Jim Brandon, The Rebirth of Pan, p. 123.

"Incidents of tornado devastation to house trailers...is a factor to be considered....I cannot avoid the feeling that there is a selectivity at work." ~

 Jim Brandon, The Rebirth of Pan, p. 134.

Now comes confirmation that the "myth" may not be a folktale, after all, and the Forteans were correct.

The study, entitled "Land-surface Heterogeneity Signature in Tornado Climatology? An Illustrative Analysis over Indiana 1950-2012," appeared on December 2, 2013, in Earth Interactions, a journal published by the American Metrological Society.

Researchers at an important research university think they have pinpointed areas where tornadoes are more likely to hit, said press accounts.  

Here lies the foundation of a mobile home destroyed in northeast Fayette County, Alabama, by a tornado on November 24, 2001.

Researchers looked at 60 years worth of climatological data from the National Weather Service’s Storm Prediction Center, and found tornadoes touch down most often in “transition zones” – areas where a dramatic change in landscape takes place. In other words, where tall buildings end and farmlands begin, or where a forest stops and the plains start.

Indiana state climatologist Dev Niyogi, who co-authored the study, said the data might explain why mobile home parks are often called tornado magnets, as they are typically located just outside city limits in open fields.

“That essentially goes to the heart of it,” he said. “How do we make settlements or landscape more resilient, and clearly there might be ways that we can make our livelihoods and lives safer.”

The study found tornado touchdowns in urban areas occur approximately 1 to 10 miles from the city center.

Mobile homes were hit hard in Belmont, Fayette County, 

Tennessee on Saturday, April 27, 2013.

“From an average person’s perspective, what the study looks into is what the future cities would look like, in terms of trying to avoid larger high-impact weather,” Niyogi said.

He said city planners might need to pay closer attention to the so-called transition zones when laying out large-scale construction plans in the future.

In an effort to better grasp where exactly tornadoes tend to touch down, the researchers concluded that twisters have a statistical preference for causing the most damage in so-called “transition zones” — geographic areas where two distinct types of landscapes meet and dramatically change. Examples include the fringe areas that fall between built-up suburban sprawl and rural farmland, dense forests and rolling plains. More often than not, these sparsely developed, lowly populated outskirts are where mobile home communities can be found in the greatest numbers.

According to the team's findings, between 1950 and 2012, 61 percent of tornado touchdowns in Indiana occurred within 1 kilometer of built-up urban areas. Forty-three percent of twisters touchdowns fell within a kilometer of heavily forested areas. In other words, primo areas for mobile home settlements.

This is not to say that tornadoes never strike cities and heavily populated urban centers (on occasion, they do) and that trailer parks are always located in transition zones. But the trend does shed light on why when many tornadoes strike, a trailer park or two on the far edge of town always seems to get hit and hit badly (the severity of damage has more to do with the construction of mobile homes and the fact they aren't anchored to the ground than geographic locale).

What university site would we find this research being conducted? In correspondence with Jim Brandon about this, he would write me:

What made me chuckle, though, is the little name game played on these explaining academics. Purdue (Fr. perdue = “lost”) University is located where? Why, West Lafayette, Indiana, of course.

That's right. The study occurred at Purdue University, Indiana State Climate Office, Purdue University, West Lafayette, Indiana.

Loren Coleman On The Paracast

There is a new online chat with Gene Steinberg and Christopher O’Brien, 

which was conducted on May 1, 2014.

I agreed to do various interviews during what I think will become known as my quiet winter-spring of 2014. One that is out already is now on the Paracast.

Here is their site's description:

The Paracast is brought to you weekly on GCN Radio. Click here to get the exclusive GCN app for your iPhone or Android smartphone!
May 4, 2014 (DOWNLOAD!): The Paracast is a paranormal radio show that takes you on a journey to a world beyond science, where UFOs, poltergeists and strange phenomena of all kinds have been reported by millions. The Paracast seeks to shed light on the mysteries and complexities of our Universe and the secrets that surround us in our everyday lives.
Join long-time paranormal researcher Gene Steinberg, co-host Christopher O’Brien, a seasoned field investigator, and a panel of special guest experts and experiencers, as they explore the realms of the known and unknown. Listen each week to the great stories of the history of the paranormal field in the 20th and 21st centuries.
On this week's show: Gene and Chris welcome pioneer cryptozoologist Loren Coleman back to The Paracast with an update of ongoing research into the field, including a global call for DNA evidence. You'll hear about case histories, including recent reports, along with a dose of myth busting. According to his bio: "Loren Coleman is one of the world’s leading cryptozoologists, some say 'the' leading. Certainly, he is acknowledged as the current living American researcher and writer who has most popularized cryptozoology in the late 20th and early 21st centuries."

+++

I discuss a wide variety of topics including cryptozoology, Bigfoot, and new species. But the hosts of the show certainly wanted to begin with the Twilight Language, the Copycat Effect, and the Fortean end of things - and that's where we went.

Besides briefly mentioning the legacy of the Museum, I can't recall actually talking about my published works, per se, resulting in my books, now or in the future. Listener questions were intriguing, interesting, and broadbased.

This Paracast is a rather casual, all-encompassing conversation that hits a lot of the landscape of my recent intellectual life. You might want to go watch a baseball game, instead, or read a good book. Cheers.

Murder on Twilight Beach Road

Rising baseball star Christopher Lane, 22, grew up in Oak Park in Melbourne, Australia’s north and was in America on a sports scholarship. His life ended in a random killing in the USA.

Lane was jogging through an area of "high dollar homes" after leaving the home of his American girlfriend, Sarah Harper, when he was followed and shot at the intersection of Country Club Road and Twilight Beach Road. Lane, of course, means a narrow way,  passage or track between walls, hedges, or fences.

Three teenagers, 15, 16, and 17, two black, one white, decided to make a name for themselves, and kill someone. They murdered Lane during a random drive-by shooting in the town of Duncan, Oklahoma. Local law enforcers noted that the alleged killers came up from behind Lane, shot him in the back with a small-calibre handgun and sped off. The alleged suspects are named Chancey Luna, Michael Jones and James Edwards.

Lane's murder has shocked the residents of Duncan, a quiet city of 25,000 people in southern Oklahoma, and his teammates at East Central University, where Lane won a scholarship to be the team's catcher.

ECU's mascot is the tiger.

The town has had only one other murder the past five years. Source.

Duncan, Oklahoma once adopted the slogan, "The Buckle on the Oil Belt". Its main claim to fame is as the birthplace of the Halliburton Corporation. Erle P. Halliburton (statute above) perfected a new method of cementing wells, making oil production much easier and more profitable, and established the New Method Oil Well Cementing Company in 1919. He died in 1957, at which time the company had 201 offices in 22 states and 20 foreign countries. Halliburton maintains seven different complexes in Duncan plus an employee recreational park, but the corporate offices relocated first to Dallas and later to Houston.
Halliburton operates the Halliburton Technology Center in Duncan. In 2010 Halliburton announced that 150 jobs in the center will move to Houston over the following two years. Source.
