Part 1 - "The Iron Giant" signaling the Beast agenda

Shabbat Shalom! Since the end of October, 2009, I've been blogging about the symbols through which Satan's agendas are being signaled and advanced. This post follow that trend, featuring a cartoon movie released in 1999 titled The Iron Giant I was interested in watching this movie because the title references two symbolic biblical elements; the Iron and the Giant. In this you will see yet more redundant messaging about and conditioning for the coming Beast of Revelation 13, and the triple helix "upgrading." There is, in this, perhaps most significantly, yet another instance of the three and then four signal I've been watching for that locks down where we are on the Lord's appointment calendar.

First, I need to point out that this movie promotes disobedience to parents and rebellion against authority. For that reason alone this movie should never be shown to "impressionable" children who have no defense. This is, of course, the way of nearly all recent movies and especially those targeted for children.

If you want to watch before reading any commentary don't keep reading here. You can watch it on Netflix streamed to your browser.

The setting for the cartoon movie (feature length animation) is rustic Maine in 1957, a time when Sputnik was in the news and many youth had a fascination with science fiction. The two main characters are a 9-year-old boy named Hogarth and a robot he discovers and befriends. The morality tale presented is the child-like robot's discovery that he can be what he chooses to be, and that, despite his obvious original design and programming as a weapon created for the destruction of mankind he can opt out of functioning as a weapon and become a protector, defender and friend of man. He is coached in this discovery by the boy hero, his mentor.

If we understand how the iron giant is a type of the Beast we can read the story line as a great lie - a Satanic set-up. The iron are the fallen angels and seed of the "bad tree" serpent Lucifer. This is validated in the symbolic imagery.

And whereas thou sawest iron mixed with miry clay, they shall mingle themselves with the seed of men: but they shall not cleave one to another, even as iron is not mixed with clay.
Daniel 2:43

Biblically, the giants are Nephilim and Rephaim, offspring of the watchers and incarnations of their offspring.

4) There were giants in the earth in those days; and also after that, when the sons of God came in unto the daughters of men, and they bare children to them, the same became mighty men which were of old, men of renown.
5) And God saw that the wickedness of man was great in the earth, and that every imagination of the thoughts of his heart was only evil continually

Genesis 6:4-5

The Iron Giant Beast is indeed appointed for the destruction of Adamic man as a weapon crafted in the heavens and fallen to earth, but this weapon WILL NOT be turned into something contrary to his nature! The iron giant can be no friend!

Spoiler Alert! In the movie's closing scenes we see the iron giant, which had been sacrificed to save men, healing himself from death. This is the key messianic parallel. This was pictured in the giant's animate members being reassembled following a death by dismemberment. This kind of resurrection or reincarnation method of being healed from death should bring to mind Osiris and Horus, of the Egyptian pantheon. These are identities assigned to represent the antichrist Beast - a.k.a. Apollo.

"Horus was born to the goddess Isis after she retrieved all the dismembered body parts of her murdered husband Osiris, except his penis which was thrown into the Nile and eaten by a catfish, and used her magic powers to resurrect Osiris and fashion a gold phallus to conceive her son." (Horus - Wikipedia)

Horus was the god of the Sky, god of War and god of Protection, three roles in which the iron giant is presented. This healing from death is very well presented by Tom Horn, who has written the following very relevant observations. The following two paragraphs are excerpted from READ IT BEFORE IT'S BANNED BY THE US GOVERNMENT - PART 21 - by Tom Horn.

"Whether or not there is a connection between the ancient power behind the Watcher narrative and the modern ‘alien abduction’ activity documented by Vallée and others involving biological harvesting from humans and animals, records from antiquity include mysterious possibilities regarding the ability of the Watcher’s deceased offspring to return to ‘physical form’ at particular moments in time. The relationship between the Rephaim—the giant occupants of Canaan (of which Og, King of Bashan whose bed was 18 feet long belonged)—and the Nephilim becomes important here, as the Rephaim were associated by the ancients with the ‘shades of the dead’ including Nephilim in Sheol. The meaning of the word Rephaim is especially germane, as it carries with it the idea ‘to heal’ or to be ‘healed’ as in a ‘resurrection’ from the place of the dead, Sheol-Hades."

"In the Ras Shamra texts, the Rephaim were described as demigods who worshipped the Amorite god Ba’al, the ruler of the underworld. When Rephaim died, their spirits went into the underworld where they joined Ba’al’s acolyte assembly of lesser gods, kings, heroes, and rulers. These beings had the power to return from the dead through reincarnation into bodily form as Nephilim. As Mysterious World in Giants in the Earth also included, "…the Rephaim giants were specifically noted by Moses as being the return of the antediluvian Nephilim, that the Rephaim were in fact the reincarnations of the demonic spirits of the Nephilim giants who had been destroyed in the Flood." A surprise to many Bible students would be to learn that the prophet Isaiah may have considered this Amorite dogma factual, and that he tied the power of these beings to the King of Babylon and Lucifer himself."

That's it for today's blogging. I'll close with a couple links of interest. To be continued - Lord willing!

Clinton, Bush biotech speeches closed to public
"A much-touted Chicago appearance of former Presidents George W. Bush and Bill Clinton will not be open to the public or the press after all. The appearance will be at a joint keynote address next Tuesday at the Biotechnology Industry Organization's annual meeting."

Time Magazine opts to go Gaga
"EXTRAVAGANTLY outfitted singer Lady Gaga, former US president Bill Clinton and Brazil's leader, Luiz Inacio Lula da Silva, are the world's most influential people, according to Time magazine's annual list."

"Mr Clinton, who has reinvented himself as a major fundraiser and anti-poverty activist since leaving the White House, heads the "heroes" section, beating South Korean figure skater Kim Yu-na and Iranian opposition leader Mir-Hossein Mousavi."

No coffee for you


Must be a tea drinker
Toronto, ON, December 2009


I deliberately avoid congested downtown streets for a number of reasons: Namely, I don't live or work near one, I get hives when I'm surrounded by too many people (yes, I'm antisocial that way) and the noise and icky air tend to darken my mood. But every once in a while, the regular demands of life dictate a trip to the very epicenter of urbanity, and when I do, I figure a camera is a worthwhile thing to have in my hand.

As often happens when I'm out of my natural element, I bump into moments worth recording. I almost stopped myself from grabbing this one because, as a general rule, I don't shoot strangers. I don't want to worry about potentially ticking them off, or worse, having them chase me down the street because I caught them doing something they really shouldn't have been doing. People are messy. Animals and inanimate objects are so much easier.

Still, this little moment of drama struck me as too rich to pass up. I felt kinda sorry for the poor guy trying to make a living delivering coffee supplies to nearby businesses. I also felt kinda sorry for this officer whose daily responsibility encompasses delivering one slip of misery after another to complete strangers.

I wonder if the subject of my photo unwound with a cup of java when he got off shift.

Your turn: I haven't done a Caption This in a while (hmm...) but I'm wondering if you have any suggestions for this pic.

One more thing: I wrote this while sitting on the large rock under the maple tree on my front lawn. It's 9:21 p.m., and as the last of the day's light ebbs out of the now-darkened sky, I swear every last neighbor who's walked or driven past while I've been tapping away in the glow of my netbook thinks I'm certifiably insane. I guess my being-different gene remains active.

Thematic Photographic returns soon

Thanks to everyone who has commented about the recent lack of Thematic Photographic. I put this weekly photo feature on hiatus a few weeks ago to give myself and you, my readers and blog community, a bit of a break from the routine.

Since then, I've received a steady stream comments, IMs and e-mails asking when Thematic Photographic will return. My answer: Wednesday, May 5.

The new theme will be "spring has sprung." Now that the season of renewal is well underway, I feel it's time to dive back in, and I can't wait to see what y'all come up with.

Dick Morris: Bill Clinton Personally Orchestrated the 1993 Waco, Texas Tragedy
Quoting from the above link: "In response to Bill Clinton’s highly publicized linking of the Tea Party movement to the 1995 Oklahoma City bombing in an op-ed piece for the New York Times, former Clinton adviser Dick Morris disclosed on Monday that it was Clinton himself, and not Attorney General Janet Reno, as Americans have been led to believe for the past 17 years, who called the shots during the 1993 botched invasion that led to the death of seventy-six people."

Bill - clearly above the law.

Here's some observations. Some say we should question everything. Question everything? Well, we shouldn't generally accept things at face value. When you're introduced to a new idea, make note of it, but don't buy in immediately. Don't reject it either. Decide whether a thing is important enough to discern, and if it is, go after it, until after appropriated prayer and consideration you arrive at being able to accept or reject. Then, stick with it. The reasoning skills, and research of facts may be demanding, and you may need help from others. On important matters, as you're researching, be aware that there are agents of deception, liars, out to deceive, and in contrast, there may be those who simply present the truth, those who can help. You may find validation for some things you already believe, or you may find some things you have held as true are exposed as false. There's the hard part, and what is to many a point of failure. You have to resolve it. Buy the truth and sell it not.

I'm working on another "movie review" series - coming soon - Lord willing!

Sun's so bright...


...I gotta wear shades
London, ON, November 2009


The scene: We're driving the kids home from school. My wife's at the wheel and I'm beside her. I'm fiddling with my camera because I'm in a bit of a funk and I need to occupy my mind and my hands. As we turn the corner and head west, the late afternoon winter sun almost blinds us all.

We're Canadian, so we should be used to this kind of thing by now. And to a large extent we are. But we've all got either green or blue eyes, and given our inherent sensitivity to light, we don't particularly appreciate the optical equivalent of a blowtorch.

I raise the camera and try to capture the moment as best I can (manual, as massively underexposed as the camera will allow.) I'm sharing the result not because it's a particularly great picture - it isn't - but because I don't want to forget what it's like to experience the day-to-day with my family. On this day, we were still in the shellshocked phase of early grief, and we grabbed at any snippet of normalcy. Sometimes, it comes in forms we can't anticipate.

Your turn: How does bright light make you feel? Why?

HP buys Palm. Mobile wars continue.

So the big tech news of the day is that HP (aka Hewlett-Packard, the
leading maker of PCs) has bought embattled smartphone vendor Palm. The
$1.2 billion deal is expected to close in July, and it ends another
chapter in the life of the company that popularized the PDA, defined
the smartphone and subsequently faded into near-irrelevance.

(Seriously, I've lost count of how many ownership changes,
restructurings and rebrandings Palm has gone through. This must be
some sort of record.)

It'll be a slice of poetic karma - or is it karmic poetry? - if HP
manages to turn Palm back into a competitive player in this
increasingly treacherous market sector. Mobile isn't for the weak of
stomach, but HP, looking for opportunities beyond its core businesses,
didn't have much choice. We won't be buying PCs forever, so any
desktop/laptop/server vendor that isn't pushing a mobile strategy is
asking for trouble. Good on HP for recognizing the need now.

We live in interesting times, don't we?

Your turn: What kinda cell/smartphone do you carry? Why did you choose
that particular one?

Bad cereal!

I often use Twitter to muse about the uber-trivial things that often creep into my head. Yesterday was no different, as I was shepherding my brood home from a faraway place and found myself reaching for the BlackBerry during rest stops. I like the small break from the ordinary that a little bit of wordplay can offer.

So as the trip drew to a close, I tweeted this: Cereal mispellings bug me. Rice Krispies? Froot Loops? Is this the best way to start the day?

Said tweet, through the magic of social media, automatically became a Facebook status update (see here for my home page. It's too early in the day for me to figure out unique URLs of status updates.) Which then touched off a discussion among my readers. So I thought I'd bring it over here, too. Because I'm manic like that.

So, my point is that language is being eroded by deliberate misspellings like this. I recognize that language is under attack on a number of fronts - including the very tools like Twitter and texting that I use to keep in touch while I'm on the run - but there's something particularly galling when it's a major company playing fast and loose with the rules of spelling, grammar and clear communication.

Your turn: Got an example of deliberate misspelling? Does this bug you? Why/why not?

Power to the people
Toronto, ON, December 2009


Every waking moment of every day presents us with two possible paths. Either we choose to follow the herd and accept the endlessly routine sameness of the world around us. Or we choose to look for the wonder within all that sameness. I like to think of it as forming our own herd. I also like to focus on the concept of choice. All of us have it, but sadly not all of us exercise it with any degree of frequency. Pity that.

As my wife has so painfully learned over the years, I'm a choose-the-wonder kind of guy. This likely explains how, when I arrived for a video shoot a bit earlier than expected, I found myself in a downtown Toronto back alley staring at a questionably connected set of wires. Not that I'm an expert in any of this, of course, but I still felt more than a little chilled at the haphazard look of it all.

My fears aside, I thought it made for a pretty neat composition as the late-winter's-afternoon light cast long shadows that threw the moment into stark relief. Not everything needs an answer, after all. Sometimes, I think it's worth shooting simply because it looks neat.

Your turn: What's behind the building that you're currently in?

House of smut


Gentle what?
Brantford, ON, March 2009


You can't help but smile at the irony of the name attached to this dimly lit, run-down building hard by the tracks that houses a business that many would define as questionable. I've met many gentlemen in my life, and I'm willing to bet few, if any, of them would darken the doorway of a place like this.

But who am I to judge others' language choices? Folks who choose this line of work toss around words like "classy" and "discreet" as well, and no one seems to pay them much notice.

Still, when these "establishments" close up shop for good, few of us lament their passing. And as my train pulls out of the station, I'm perfectly content to leave this one behind as well.

Your turn: Oxymoronic language on signs. Please discuss.

The Big Cat


Mud fight
London, ON, July 2009


I have a strange philosophy of photography: Absolutely every scene, even the ones that are beyond forgettable, contains at least one picture worth remembering.

So when I saw this tractor sitting in the middle of a horridly in-progress construction site, I decided the side profile - with its chunky, mud-covered tread and yellow steel hub - was kinda fun.

My wife disagreed, because getting this picture required a trek across said muddy site. She was not pleased that I returned with filthy shoes. Sometimes, photographers have to suffer for their wannabe-art. Sometimes, their wives suffer, too.

Your turn: Places other folks would write off - but you wouldn't. (I'll start: cafeterias, run-down K-Mart stores...) Please discuss.

Looking for Dino Flintstone


And we thought they were extinct
London, ON, February 2010


I've discovered that animal crackers aren't for kids after all. Sure, the packaging suggests they're as kid-exclusive as the Family Channel (ha!) and Fruit Rollups (not fruit and not edible), but a cursory glance down the cracker aisle on a recent Sunday afternoon revealed adults with no kids in sight stashing bags of crackerfied animals into grocery carts stuffed with salad fixins, pasta, balsamic vinegar and other decidedly non-kid fare.

They weren't fooling anyone: The only kids destined to eat these crackers were the overgrown ones trying not to look guilty as they sidled up to the checkout aisle.

I admit I'm one of them. I bring them home because I know our munchkins stay away from them - animal lovers, perhaps? - and if I keep a couple of bags in the shadows at the back of the pantry, edible salvation will always be an arm's reach away when I'm looking to both fill my tummy and inspire my somewhat off-kilter brain. I'm just that shallow.

Your turn: I rather prefer the dinosaur-themed crackers, as I don't feel the same degree of guilt eating them as I would, say, with zoo or farm animals. Are you a secret animal cracker eater? Why/why not?

Incomplete...


Nailed to the wall
London, ON, February 2009


Just over a year ago, I was privileged to have my work exhibited by a local studio. It was a surreal experience to see my photos printed, matted and hung in a space specifically designed, from the paint to the lighting to the layout, for art.

I had never before thought of photography - nay, my photography - as art. But seeing and even feeling them on the wall made me realize that whatever we create can have a very real impact on those who experience it. I guess I had been sharing my work virtually for so long that it was easy to miss the real meaning of it all: It took the tangible act of printing, preparing and mounting everything to drive that message home.

When the show was over and I was finished taking the last one down, I stopped beside this one nail and stared at it for a good long while. On the one hand, I was somewhat saddened that it was all over. The experience was a thrill - made even more meaningful by the fact that I got to share it with my wife and kids and our friends from the community. I got to see my parents experience my work in a way they never had previously, and I'd like to think that my dad got an especially satisfying jolt of pride that his kid followed his voice and created something neat. I'll never know, of course, but the mere thought is a comfort.

Staring at the photo of the nail today, I'm reminded that the process of exploring, capturing, learning and sharing is a never-ending one. And as long as I am able, I'll heft my camera in my hand and head out on new adventures. And perhaps soon I'll find another nail much like this one, and I'll be lucky enough to once again hang something tangible on it for a whole new audience.

Your turn: What should be hung here?

Every day should be Earth Day

Different forms of pollution
London, ON
February 2009


On a bitterly cold, brilliantly sunny afternoon, I found myself standing under this rather interesting convergence of human-caused atmospheric phenomena. As I look back at this photo today, I find myself thinking that the concept of Earth Day may not be ambitious enough to fix whatever's broken in this frame.

Don't get me wrong: Earth Day is a great initiative and a wonderful way to raise awareness. I know that the yearly celebrations and activities at school have helped our kids become much more environmentally aware and sensitive than we ever were at their age.

But it's only a day. For most of us, the other 364 days of the year are business as usual. We go about our business, driving when we should walk, lighting when we can function just as well with less light, heating when we can pull on a sweater.

In my lifetime, I've watched Earth Day go from a faddish, feel-good event for publicity-seeking celebs to yesterday's news and, finally, back to a moment of relevance for our kids. I'm wondering what it'll take to make the next leap to everyday awareness. And action. I'd like to think that this kind of progress lies within our generation's grasp.

Your turn: How will you celebrate Earth Day? How will you celebrate the day after Earth Day?

Lesson from a four-legged friend

I've decided I rather like having a dog to come home to. Although my wife and kids are usually pretty consistent about hellos and goodbyes - my wife believes in making these moments special - there are times when the only greeter at the door has four legs and a soggy Schnauzer beard. When everyone in the house is too busy to get to the door, I can always count on our silver-furred hellion to attack the door until I can get it open. In the truest guard dog tradition, he'll bark and howl until he realizes it's me. Then he'll bore in, nubbin-of-a-tail wagging madly as he buries his head in my chest and snorts repeatedly.

I'm not quite sure what he hopes to accomplish in the process. I can hear all manner of sniffing going on, and all I can come up with is he's following his instinctive hunting dog's DNA as he tries to figure out where I've been, what I've done and who I've done it with.

Before long, I'll have to get on the floor because that just seems to make it so much easier to enjoy this wiggling ball of fur. It's always the same, and it never gets old. I think it's the unconditional nature of it all that makes moments like this worth holding on to. He'll be there, drooling and happy, no matter what kind of day he or I had. He doesn't temper his excitement for anything - the world revolves around the two of us for those few first moments on reconnectedness. He's happy simply because we're together.

I keep thinking there's a lesson here, and all I need to do is listen to him a little more closely. I think I need to be a little more like him - unconditional, in the moment, simply happy to be together, and to simply be - whoever I'm with.

Good dog, isn't he?

Nancy Pelosi- Reverse Speech - "Con, well worth this"

I just posted another reverse speech video to YouTube:
Nancy Pelosi- Reverse Speech - "Con, well worth this"

Nancy Pelosi, House Speaker, was instrumental in bringing ObamaCare to Americans. "ABC World News" anchor Diane Sawyer interviewed her on March 22nd, the day after the legislation cleared the only apparent hurdle. This video presents some of what I heard when I played some of Pelosi's responses backwards. I was not surprised to find in this more validation of what many of us already know about where this shady deal is leading. The interviewer and sponsoring media is, of course, complicit. Are these your friends? Do you have ears to hear?

Here's some other links of interest. "Eat the fish - spit out the bones," as always.

Tanks for the memory


Please don't explode
London, ON, March 2010


I've been surveying the new-to-me neighborhood where I now work, and I've been coming across some rather fascinating things. To wit, there's a petroleum tank farm located not a 10-minute walk from the front door. Although I'm not allowed inside - gee, I wonder why - it's still a fairly cool place to observe from the outside.

In our post-9/11 world, however, I suspect a stranger with a camera wandering around the street just outside the front gate isn't exactly the most welcome kind of visitor. Indeed, I'm rather certain my initial photo shoot has now been immortalized on some grainy black-and-white security video.

When I eventually find my name on the no-fly list, at least I'll know why.

Your turn: If these things didn't have to hold gasoline, diesel and other forms of dead dinosaurs, what would you want them to hold? Feel free to be as creative as you wish.

Gordon Lightfoot is still alive

I've been somewhat remiss about tracking my media work of late*, but I came across this particularly fun link from a couple of months back (Feb. 18, actually) that I wanted to share.

It's from an interview I did with CTV News Channel's Marcia MacMillan This time out, we spoke about the Twitter-started rumor that erroneously spread "news" that Canadian singing legend Gordon Lightfoot - his most famous tune is arguably The Wreck of the Edmund Fitzgerald - had died.

Imagine Mr. Lightfoot's surprise upon hearing this on the radio as he drove home from a dentist's appointment. He was very much still with us, and called a national radio program to share this happy news with the country.

The incident raised all sorts of questions about the impact of social media on the news gathering and dissemination process, and the fact that without checks and balances, it's only a matter of time before this kind of thing happens again. And again. And...

The interview's here. Other televised hits can be found here, here and here.

Your turn: The dangers of Twitter, Facebook and other tools of social media. Please discuss.

* If you've just joined us, I lead a bit of a double life beyond my 9-to-5 career path as a data management guy. Long ago, I became a journalist by education, then an analyst almost by accident. Like Superman, who often uses fast-disappearing phone booths to switch into his alter-ego, I occasionally find myself switching gears into media-commentator-analyst mode as the sun sets (or rises...those early morning hits are fun.) Journalists, producers and editors from various print and electronic media often call me to talk about why a particular tech/business/culture story matters. It's resulted in some fun adventures along the way.

Landlocked mouse


Nowhere to row
London, ON, April 2009


I know there's a story to this, and it probably has something to do with Storybook Gardens (our city-run theme park), some humorless staffers at City Hall and a lost memo that's kept this fading piece of everyone's childhood marooned in a city depot for the better part of the past couple of years.

However Feivel the Mouse (I don't think this little fellow has a name, but I've always like the name of the main character from An American Tail*. But I digress...) came to be here, I always feel a little sad when I pass by and see him still wedged between the seemingly discarded snow shovel blades, going nowhere. Mind you, there's something to be said for little slices of happy popping up in the most unexpected places. So perhaps in that light he's right where he belongs.

Your turn: Where's he headed? Where should he end up?

*Feivel was my grandfather's name. He died a month before the movie was released, and it was a poignantly bittersweet experience to see the movie so soon after he passed away. The character's name in the film is spelled "Fievel", but I figure it's close enough.

The irony of a volcano in Iceland

I've got a couple of places to go and people to see this morning, so actual writing and blogging here at Written Inc. will have to wait until later today. But as the crisis in Europe widens over the erupting volcano in Iceland (for the record, the earth is spewing from a vent in the Eyjafjallajökull glacier. Say it 10 times fast. I'll wait. But I digress) I find myself thinking back to the contrail-themed entry, Painters of the sky, that I posted here early Friday.

When I first wrote it, the full extent of the eruption hadn't become clear. So I wasn't particularly focused on the near-full shutdown of western European airspace and the billions of dollars lost and incalculable inconvenience caused. Now I am, and I'm reminded that for all the technology in the world, we're still very much subject to the seemingly random whims of this incredible planet of ours.

Your turn: Got a power-of-nature story to share?

Apollo 13 + 40

Forty years ago today, the Apollo 13 mission came to an end with the safe landing of the command module, Odyssey, in the Pacific Ocean (NASA links: mission overview, interactive feature.)The mission riveted the attention of the world after an oxygen tank explosion 200,000 miles from the planet crippled the craft and threw the three astronauts' very survival into question. The mission, later dubbed a "successful failure" because the astronauts survived despite achieving the original objective of landing on the moon, became an icon of NASA's once-vaunted ability to pull proverbial rabbits out of proverbial hats.

As we've seen in the ensuing decades of budget-castrated human spaceflight programs, fatally flawed management practices and tragic losses that didn't have to happen, NASA's star has clearly faded. In the process, so has the national will to pay for it.

As I write this, Space Shuttle Discovery orbits the planet a mere few hours after undocking from the International Space Station. Her second-to-last mission, STS-131, is scheduled to end Monday morning with a landing at Florida's Shuttle Landing Facility (wiki), after which only three missions remain before the shuttle fleet is grounded for good. Despite President Barack Obama's rather significant speech* Friday calling for renewed focus on beyond-the-moon exploration, the fact remains that there is no post-shuttle U.S. capability to achieve low-earth orbit, and the very core of American human spaceflight knowledge is about to be scattered to the wind.

I got to discuss this very issue with AM640 Toronto radio host John Downs this past Friday (I chat with him live on-air most Fridays from about 8:30 to 9:00 p.m. You can tune in here) and as I did my best to explain why this stuff matters to a mostly uninterested public, I found myself wishing we spent more time focusing on this and less time on Kate Gosselin. Reality television washouts don't inspire our kids. I firmly believe that edge-of-the-envelope scientific achievement, on the other hand, does.

As a Canadian, the current space malaise hits an especially raw nerve. Anyone who was around for Canada's Avro Arrow (CF-105) debacle will understand what it feels like to have world-leading scientific capability destroyed by lack of political leadership and will. The irony that the suddenly-out-0f-work Canadian scientists and engineers went on to join NASA's moon program in droves isn't lost on me.

Your turn: What inspires you?

Why I look up
London, ON, March 2010


The scene: I'm dropping our two youngest off at school when I notice the contrails overhead. London isn't the world's largest town - with 350,000 people living here, we won't exactly be attracting endless lines of long-haul 747s to our airport - so it's clear these planes are just passing through. The best we can hope for at our own so-called international airport is turboprop commuter planes making the 45-minute hop to Toronto and Detroit, and 737s taking snowbound Canadians to luxurious resorts carved out of the coastlines of otherwise impoverished nations. But I digress.

The morning and evening ritual of a sky filled with the slowly expanding vapor trails of high-flying jet aircraft is a fluke of geography - we live under a large number of converging continental flight paths - and atmospheric dynamics. And I'll never complain. There's something quite humbling about standing on the ground while this ever changing kaleidoscope of human-caused meteorology plays out miles overhead.

Not everyone gets it, though. As I stand beside the parking lot with my camera, other parents stop and stare. One takes a moment to ask what I'm doing, then shrugs when I tell her I'm watching the contrails. The rest just drive off, some shaking heads, wondering why Dahlia and Noah's dad is staring into space again.

There are days when I wish they'd take the time to enjoy the scene. But today's not one of them. For now, alone is a good place to be.

Your turn: Do you stare into space sometimes? What are you looking for?

Part 15 - What does the Olympic Rings logo really mean?

The Olympic rings logo testifies of the persistent worship of Satan as Zeus and of his son, Apollo. In this, those who understand the way of historical patterns can, in the present time, see what will be from what has already happened in the past.

That which has been is that which will be,
And that which has been done is that which will be done.
So there is nothing new under the sun.

Ecclesiastes 1:9

The repeating patterns of history can expose important lessons to attentive students as led by the Lord. A key event that will happen in days soon to come is popularly referred to as the abomination of desolation.

When ye therefore shall see the abomination of desolation, spoken of by Daniel the prophet, stand in the holy place, (whoso readeth, let him understand:)
Matthew 24:15

See also Mark 13:14, Daniel 9:27, 11:31, 12:11 and 2 Thessalonians 2:3-4 and 2 Maccabees 6. The events of 167 BC that resulted in the institution of the festival of Hanukkah are related to that infamous abomination. They involved the worship of Zeus and a ruler of the Seleucid Empire known as Antiochus IV Epiphanes. Not long ago it would have seemed silly to suggest that the worship of Zeus might be involved in a key fulfillment of biblical prophecy appointed for the near future. Today, however, considering the rise of Olympism, what Tom Horn and Chris Pinto and others have exposed about the history of America, the Apollo branded Hitler and Obama phenomena and the renewal of Zeus worship in Greece at the ancient sites, it seems rather obvious that the man of lawlessness will be and do as Antiochus IV Epiphanes before him. The Beast will be identified as the son of Zeus, Apollo. "That which has been is that which will be."

On a coin from that era (see image on right), a likeness of Antiochus IV Epiphanes appears on the front with Apollo on the reverse. Here is a foreshadowing type in what is two sides of the same coin, literally. Apollo Hitler - one coin. Apollo Obama - one coin. Ditto the one who was and will be.

In a previous post I made the following comment. "We have to ask whether Baron Pierre de Coubertin's vision is quietly fulfilling Bible prophecy while everyone's attention is turned elsewhere." The answer to that is becoming apparent. While many look now to Islam, or the antichrist features of Roman Catholicism, pagan New Age or Eastern religions, it should be blatantly obvious that there can never be a legitimate melding of all religious people into one of these forms. Could the ancient worship of Zeus that is now being revived be the form of what is to be required? I propose that something rather more like Olympism is far more likely.

In Greece, home of Mt. Olympus and the famous Acropolis above the city of Athens, the worship of Zeus had been officially outlawed since the fourth century AD, due to the influence of popular Christianity (and the decree of Roman Emperor Theodosius). As recently as 2003, some who worshiped the gods of the Acropolis were chased off the premises of the Temple of Hephaestus, just below the Acropolis. An official recognition by the courts was made in 2006 leading to the officially authorized restoration of worship in 2007, at some sites. In January of 2008, a second century temple of Zeus in Athens was used to stage the first ceremony of its kind in the modern era .In August of 2008, exactly one week after the close of the Summer Olympics in Beijing, the Acropolis itself was the site of worship of the ancient gods. The group Ellinais, in their persistent drive to reestablish the worship of the 12 gods of Olympus achieved a milestone success. On the Acropolis, about 200 gathered and prayed and sang hymns to the goddess Athena. While I see this as significant, the scale cannot compare to the multiplied millions who have been rallied to the altars of Olympism.

Tony Blair, during his launch of the Tony Blair Faith Foundation in 2008 made the following statement: "We do not want to engage in a doctrinal inquiry. We do not want to subsume different faiths in some universal faith of the lowest common denominator. We want to show faith in action. We want to produce greater understanding between faiths through encounter. We want people of one faith to be comfortable with those of another because they know what the other truly believes, not what they thought they might believe." What we "truly believe" is continually being molded by Satan's branding agencies and few are able to resist the powerful influence. Tony, with much help, is expanding operations in the US this year. The model he expressed is how Olympism has come to bring those professing followers of many diverse facets of Babylon together. He gets it, like de Coubertin got it, and others like them including Nicolas Roerich, with his work in the East. This is how the Tower of Babel was built under Nimrod's leadership, is it not?

Whether one's god is referred to as the Great Architect of the Universe, Allah, Buddha Maitreya, Osiris, Gaia, Baal, Thor, Athena, G-d, Jehovah, Jesus, or Master Jesus, the coming son of Zeus will be received as The One by all but the elect of God. Satan has no problem being worshiped under many names. When the Beast arrives on the scene, Apollo incarnate will have a face and a name, and worship will be received.

Have you considered how much has to change before the world will look like the last day Babylon when the Beast makes his bold and dramatic appearance on the scene and receives the worship of the inhabitants of the earth? If you perceive in the Olympic rings logo and global acceptance of the Olympic games some momentum towards that end, as I definitely do, you know very little has to change. The time is near at hand my friend. If there are important things you have left undone, the window of opportunity for doing such things is shrinking fast.

I pray you will seek the Lord's mind and heart about what He desires of you and for you in this hour. If you have perceived an urgency in what has been a rather overwhelming outpouring of insight in this blog series (and I sure have), let it speak to you of the urgency of the hour.

A week of relative silence

Back to the life of the bike commuter. First ride done. Now t... on Twitpic
It's been a heads-down week of work, evening meetings, more work and more evening meetings. As I walked the dog at 3 a.m. earlier today, it dawned on me that this week is a little out of balance and something's got to give.

So far, the "give" list includes this blog, as I've spent almost no time here all week. You may have also noticed that Thematic Photographic didn't get posted last night. I think I may give it a week's rest, as I want to see what it's like when I'm not following a theme for the week. Please feel free to suggest themes in comments below. I'll keep posting here, of course, but we'll keep it free-form for the next few days.

More later. I've got to button up some work before I get on the bike - yes, folks, I'm back to the bicycle commuting life, trekking across town and praying London's texting, coffee-drinking and car stereo-fiddling drivers don't turn me into a hood ornament. Another cool day of opportunity awaits at the office, assuming I make it there in one piece.

Your turn: What's the one thing you're looking forward to today?

Part 14 - What does the Olympic Rings logo really mean?

The Olympic rings logo was designed by Baron Pierre de Coubertin in 1912. His own explanation of its meaning is helpful, which suggests the greater truth we have come to recognize in this blog series. Where did he get the idea about the rings, and especially the unseen sixth ring that completes the pyramid temple? The bottom line: He got it from Lucifer, Satan, Zeus, through what are called familiar spirits. He was led in his effort to graphically represent what was in his heart and mind to make what is called in the Bible an idol, a religious object whose form was directed by the one being worshiped.

4) You shall not make for yourself an idol, or any likeness of what is in heaven above or on the earth beneath or in the water under the earth.
5) You shall not worship them or serve them; for I, the LORD your God, am a jealous God, visiting the iniquity of the fathers on the children, on the third and the fourth generations of those who hate Me,
6) but showing lovingkindness to thousands, to those who love Me and keep My commandments.

Exodus 20:4

The five interlocking rings of the Olympic logo is a likeness of the inhabitants of the world as one, who are in the earth beneath the heaven. Potential instances of the implied ring that is visually and magically required to complete the pyramid may only ever be a likeness of the Sun, in heaven above. Baron de Coubertin testified that Olympism is a religion that honors Zeus and his son, god of Sun, Apollo. Any honest student of the truth can discover how Olympism is all about the worship of the gods identified as the biblical Satan, with the demonic hoard of fallen angels that includes Watchers and Nephilim spawn - in the modern era as well as in the ancient.

The representation of Olympism that is the Olympic rings logo is but an idol, according to Exodus 20. Where did de Coubertin get the logo? He sought and received inspiration from Zeus, the same way as everyone else who rebels against the one true God.

The Bible reveals how the Sun is itself a symbol of the only begotten son of the one true God, Yahweh, who is the Bridegroom and Mashiach, Y'shua. As the Sun rules the physical heavens and Earth from our perspective on Earth, the One it symbolizes truly rules Heaven and Earth on every level. The Sun must therefore be considered as a ruler among symbols.

10) so that at the name of Jesus EVERY KNEE WILL BOW, of those who are in heaven and on earth and under the earth,
11) and that every tongue will confess that Jesus Christ is Lord, to the glory of God the Father

Philippians 2:10-11

1) For behold, the day is coming, burning like a furnace; and all the arrogant and every evildoer will be chaff; and the day that is coming will set them ablaze," says the LORD of hosts, "so that it will leave them neither root nor branch."
2) But for you who fear My name, the sun of righteousness will rise with healing in its wings; and you will go forth and skip about like calves from the stall.
3) You will tread down the wicked, for they will be ashes under the soles of your feet on the day which I am preparing," says the LORD of hosts

Malachi 4:1-3

The making of a symbol to represent the Sun, which Yahweh made and is itself a symbol, is to disobey His commandment and make an idol. The agency that inspires men to rebel against their creator is that original rebel, Lucifer!

Consider the following quote.

"Lest we forget at least an over-the-shoulder acknowledgment to the very first radical: from all our legends, mythology and history (and who is to know where mythology leaves off and history begins-or which is which), the first radical known to man who rebelled against the establishment and did it so effectively that he at least won his own kingdom – Lucifer." – Saul Alinsky - "Rules For Radicals"


When Obama, a renowned Alinsky disciple (like Hillary Clinton), branded himself, he laid claim to a new version of the classic Sun image and kingdom pyramid. Alinsky's nod to Lucifer, who "won his own kingdom," reveals how Obama, chief among his radical disciples, has "won" his own, by following that same way of rebellion against the sovereign God. (Yes we can = Thank you Satan) Obama's sonnenrad logo is an instance of rebellion against the second commandment and a sign of rebellion against the God who gave it. It is a sign of committed service to Lucifer, the honor and worship of that same Zeus of the mythology Alinsky presented as blurred with history, knowing how his own god was the very god of mythological legend.

The logo of de Coubertin and Carl Jung was forged in that same fire, so to speak, and Hitler's, too (with the swastika sonnenrad brought once again to the world's attention in South Africa's racially inspired conflict). Each has "won a kingdom," have they not? Tolkein, too, has "won a kingdom," who took that imagery of the unseen ring that was forged in a cursed fire and, from the legends of the mythic Nordic gods, spun it into a pop culture phenomenon. "One Ring to rule them all, One Ring to find them, One Ring to bring them all, and in the darkness bind them." I expect to have more to write on this matter of the unseen ring.

In a public forum discussing the Olympics in terms of good and bad, some will profess to dismiss the "negative" and focus instead on the "positive" aspects, like sport. Don't be fooled, changing focus changes neither the idol nor the consequences of idolatry. Those who worship at the altar of Zeus that is Olympism also idolize the athletes and especially the victors in the games. Remember the roles of the soccer ball and of David Beckham during the London ceremonies in Beijing? (See Olympic Ceremony Symbolism - Part Two and Three) Consider the Lord's perspective in such a matter.

10) He does not delight in the strength of the horse;
He does not take pleasure in the legs of a man.
11) The LORD favors those who fear Him,
Those who wait for His lovingkindness.

Psalm 147:10-11

With this in mind, looking even beyond the context of Olympism to the extended exaltation of sport itself in our day, we see it elevated in the lives of many to become the sincere worship as of a class of demigods. From among the demigods, claims to glorify God through athletic achievement are not uncommon, but could one who "does not take pleasure in the legs of a man" be glorified in such a way? Honestly, no, but there is a god who receives glory thereby; the god of Olympism, who is honored in every act of rebellion against the true God!

During the Vancouver Olympics I watched a few hours on TV. What I saw primarily focused on the life of one athlete in particular, who ended up doing rather well. By the time the games had concluded, this star had become the most decorated U.S. Winter Olympian in history. Here's a picture of the celebrated seven-time Olympic medalist Apolo Ohno. For those of us who watch for signs, this is one. Apollo? Oh No! Not the poster boy of Berlin 1936! Well, yes. Synchronicity? No, a sign!

Which god or God do you glorify? Are you flying a branded flag or banner? To what or whom do you pledge allegiance? To what do you kneel or worship before? A symbol? Some graven image or likeness presented on a pole, behind an altar or upon a high tower? Repent of idolatry. Flee from it! Worship neither a symbol of the Sun, nor the Sun, but the Son Himself, the true Light and Living Way! Honor the Lord who favors those who fear Him and who wait for His lovingkindness!

Drifting
London, ON, January 2009
About this photo: We've been looking back at winter, and will continue to do so through this coming Wednesday. Do you have something wintry to share? If so, please click here.
There are days where everything snaps into focus and there's little doubt about who you are, what you're supposed to be doing and where you're headed. Then there are days where things are just a little fuzzier then you'd like, where the gears don't feel fully engaged and things don't click into place as fast we wish.

On days like these, I think of this picture, shot on a brutally cold winter day not far from home. I've loved this photo from the moment I shot it because it plays with our sense of perspective. Without any points of reference within the frame, the sense of scale can be whatever your mind wants it to be. You could be looking at a scene a few inches across...or alternatively one miles wide, shot from miles high. I'll let you imagine

Oh, about that feeling of drifting? The good news is it never lasts forever. Eventually, the wind stops, the weather warms up and the drifting snow melts into a mere memory.

Your turn: When you're feeling a little lost, what gets you back on an even keel?

Part 13 - What does the Olympic Rings logo really mean?

News item of interest: PositiveID's Latest Human Chip-Implant Scare Story: "Medical Identity Theft" from April 6, 2010

When the testimony of the man behind the Olympic rings logo, Baron de Coubertin, is taken into consideration alongside the symbolic imagery associated with decades of historical events where the logo has been embedded, the logo's meaning is not hard to discover. The logo pictures the same evil serpent scheme that has been in play for as long as man has existed, first evidenced while yet in the Garden of Eden. Recent posts in this series have focused on the unseen ring, the sixth that, added to the five, completes the pyramid referred to as Zion. Because of how important the unseen ring is to the plan and how both Hitler and Obama in their appointed seasons have, by much effort, made the Apollo ring their own, we should consider, at some point, whether the unseen ring might be more than the relatively recent invention of de Coubertin. (Spoiler alert - It IS!)

Once I had begun to recognize and refer in this blog to the "unseen" ring, it wasn't long before the Lord brought to my mind the following, which began the unfolding insight.

One Ring to rule them all, One Ring to find them,
One Ring to bring them all, and in the darkness bind them


You may recognize these lines of prose, coming from the "Lord of the Rings" trilogy of fantasy literature penned by J.R.R. Tolkien. When this came to mind I immediately saw how perfectly they describe the role of the unseen ring of the Olympic rings!

In this fictional story, these lines are inscribed on the One Ring, a magical ring that, among other things, renders the wearer invisible. When someone puts on the ring, both the ring and its wearer become "unseen." This unseen ring is the artifact of a previous age, when its maker forged it magically in the fires of "hell," investing it with his own life, binding to it his identity and his very destiny. Are you seeing the Apollo, son of Zeus/Satan connection? If you're not, reading or rereading the last four months of blog posts might help.

This unseen ring's purpose mirrors the agenda of the pyramid capstone ring of the Olympic rings logo, whose five rings represent the people of the world.

One Ring to rule them all, One Ring to find them,
One Ring to bring them all, and in the darkness bind them


This finding, bringing, binding and ruling is what Hitler did, Obama does and the coming incarnation of Apollo will do to fulfill its destiny, manifesting as the Beast of the book of Revelation. The darkness is what "light" (Luke 11:34) is given off by the flame of the Olympic cauldrons and torches, manifesting through ritual magic, casting its demonic rays upon spell-bound subjects. It is the antichrist delusion that overspreads the Earth.

In the trilogy and in the popular Peter Jackson movie franchise that brought the dynamic visual imagery into today's pop culture, the Eye of Sauron kept watch over Middle-earth from its highest tower, the "Dark Tower," the Barad-dûr. Consider these images of the Eye of Sauron, a gateway construct that is magically linked to the One Ring.

The top image is the eye as it appears in the movies while the other two were found in a scan of the Web, "photoshopped" by some who evidently perceived a likeness between the two eyes and their owners. I like the middle one in particular.

The positiveID (implantable microchip "mark of the Beast" technologies) corporate logo you see on the right has been modified by simply inverting the colors from positive to negative. Compare the letter "o" to the Eye of Sauron and the ID tag to Obama's "pyramid at sunrise" ID. The folks responsible for these designs lift them from the same page of Satan's portfolio!

The image on the left is the Eye of Sauron atop the Barad-dûr. The inset shows the original eye, surrounded by a fiery ring. In the other version I photoshopped a subtle image of Obama's glowing all-seeing eye atop the tower, which appears in this larger context as * SHOCK * the eye atop the pyramid.

The two components are one with the entity whose life and destiny are bound to it. The Eye of Sauron and the One Ring ARE the unseen ring.

Surprised? I didn't think so. Why not? Redundancy is critical. We've seen this before, over and again! The message must be signaled! The Beast and the mark of the Beast are coming! The signaling facilitates the plan, and the Lord Y'shua's grant of favor in revealing it to us now comes to those of us who watch as a warning to continue preparing ourselves, learning to subject ourselves in obedience, the sacrifice of love. Hallelujah! We are loved!

The triple helix DNA signaling comes encoded within the prose that was magically inscribed upon the ring. One Ring to rule them all, One Ring to find them, One Ring to bring them all, and in the darkness bind them. Three times the words "One Ring" appear. This could be considered as an unholy trinity substituted for the counterparts, but yet it must also be the signaling of the genetic key to the binding. The message of the three strand DNA reverberates through the symbols from ages past to the present day, heralding the means of binding the men of the earth together and giving them the continuity pictured in the ouroboros ring, the serpent life from old.

Because of how important the unseen ring is to the plan, is this esoteric unseen ring more than the relatively recent invention of de Coubertin? Since "The Lord of the Rings" was written in stages between 1937 and 1949, much of it during World War II, de Coubertin certainly didn't get the idea from Tolkien. Did Tolkien get the idea from the Olympic rings logo? I'll explore the derivation and history further in the next post, Lord willing! Think Hitler, Wagner, Odin...

Where's the Michelin Man?

I don't even want to think about what was going through the stranger's head as he watched me grab this quick moment in the shopping mall parking lot. In our paranoia-infused post-9/11 world, any behaviors that deviate even slightly from the so-called norm are increasingly likely to result in someone surreptitiously calling the police on you. To wit, my not-quite-a-body-in-a-garbage-bag experience earlier this week*.)

But I figured I had about 15 seconds to record this stark moment for posterity before either falling snow or, more likely, a parade of motorists rushing to the pharmacy for on-sale baby powder, turned this ephemeral scene into just a memory.

Something tells me my skeptical witness didn't much care about the big picture here, as I believe I was crouched between him and his baby powder. So as soon as I was done, I slung the camera back over my shoulder and disappeared into the dimming grey late afternoon.

Your turn: Ever behave oddly in public? How? Why?

* I've been watching the headlines since then. No reports of missing folks or recently-uncovered murders. So my conclusion is this guy was dumping garbage. Either way, a doofus extraordinaire. And next time, I'm calling it in.

iPhone, iCarmi, iMarcia

Every once in a while, the stars align and I get to appear on television. Last night was one of those star-aligning moments, as I spoke live with CTV News Channel's Marcia MacMillan. We were chatting about the latest Apple-related news, as it had been another big week for the company that Steve Jobs built.

On Thursday, Apple announced a new version of the operating system that powers most of its mobile devices. Known as iPhone OS v4.0, it brings new capabilities, such as multitasking, improved e-mail and an in-application advertising network, to the iPhone, iPod touch and iPad.

Well, it will deliver those capabilities when it's released to the unwashed masses later this summer.

So I chatted with Marcia (or iMarcia, if you hang in till the end) and somewhere along the way gave myself a new name, too.


(And if you're in the mood to read, here's a link to my Betanews column, The True Cost of iAd, that zooms in specifically on the new advertising network.)

Your turn: Marcia asked a great question toward the end...what should Apple's next i-branded product be called?

All Frasier wanted was to be off his leash so he could bound up and down the snowy toboggan hill with his favorite folks. But since obedience isn't his strongest suit, and since my luck would result in the bylaw enforcement officer coming around the corner just as he'd be chasing the neighbor's dog back into the next zip code, I kept him leashed.

Every once in a while, the munchkins came back to him and made sure he didn't feel alone. Made me feel a little warmer on this frigid afternoon knowing the sharing gene was alive and well in all of them.

Part 12 - What does the Olympic Rings logo really mean?

I'm expecting to be on a couple radio shows later this month, Lord willing, of course. The first is scheduled for Saturday April 24 with Blog Talk Radio host Zen Garcia of FallenAngelsTV. The topic of discussion will be the paternity of Cain and what really happened in the Garden of Eden. Who is Cain's Father? - FallenAngelsTV on blogtalkradio.com - 4/24/2010 2:00 PM. Then, Wednesday morning, April 28, I'll be the guest on The Power Hour with Joyce Riley. The topics of discussion will likely be pretty diverse, but the Reverse Speech phenomenon and the viral Obama - Yes We Can = Thank You Satan video is a probable starting point. The daily show's format is such that the first of three hours is devoted to news. Then, I'll be the featured guest for the next two hours, minus commercial breaks, etc. West coast time, the show runs from 5-8 AM. You can listen live to either of these two shows or catch an archived version at your convenience.

To understand the Olympic rings logo is to see it as a fit symbol for the goals and objectives of the promoters of Olympism. This includes the IOC, certainly, but also everyone who is not committed to serving the One true God with their life, who have truly taken up their cross and died to self. There is the Body and Bride of Christ, HaMashiach. In contrast, there is that of antichrist. The images presented and comparisons made in this blog speak to this reality. The conclusions you draw from this really matter to you, personally, and, corporately, to the Body, including the Head! I pray this is bearing witness to what the spirit of holiness is working in your life today.


While some dismiss Obama as a passing phenomenon of empty hubris, arrogance and ego, those of us who understand what the symbolic imagery means realize that he's merely aware of his exalted position. As the hidden ring of Olympism, he recognizes his role as the current capstone of the pyramid. We have learned how this identity must be signaled according to the way of the occult, just as it was with Hitler, and so we watch and consider deeply what is signaled to learn what the Lord who reveals would have us to know. Obama is keeping an appointment that is ultimately intended to fulfill America's destiny.

The changing versions of his logo and the ways it's being leveraged in the imagery promoting his programs suggest these are something of a "progress bar" indicator, like you see when you transfer files on your computer. For example, let's compare the official BarackObama.com imagery promoting the "Health Reform" agenda to the pyramid on the back of the one dollar bill.

See how the busy ornamentation and scrolling banner motifs from the Federal Reserve note are picked up and used to cradle the illuminating pyramid of Obama's seal? The pyramids on both are in their appropriate settings. This official image features a version of Obama's seal that has an added ring of darker blue and a subtle reflective highlight that enhances the appearance as an eye. The glow of the pupil is also enhanced, signaling that this glowing eye-lamp is fulfilling what is represented in the capstone of the Federal Reserve pyramid. (Luke 11:34: "The eye is the lamp of your body...") As I've stated in the past, Obama is not the final incarnation of Apollo.

A greater light actually lights the scene, streaming from behind the Obama ring and gemstone-like or trophy plate setting. By tracing down the rays to locate the position of the unseen light source we discover that, whatever it is, has not yet breached the horizon. It is coming but is not yet birthed.

The bold statement "YES WE CAN" shouts rebellion in the sovereign God's face, who has made it very clear that declaring what things will be is His own business. The reverse speech of that expression in that context presents a distinct "thank you Satan" to the hearer, expressing gratitude to whom it is due for the "Health Reform" action that brings the dawning of the greater light.

Like a progress indicator bar, the Apollo Obama brand agents are signaling our current status, that the coming greater incarnation of Apollo is being "uploaded" now, facilitated by the success of the "Health Reform" effort!

"Health Reform" is not the same as "Health Care Reform." Make no mistake, if the word "Care" was intended to appear, it would. We know the sales and marketing of the deal leads everyone to casually think "Health Care Reform." If anyone even noticed the omission of the word "Care," they would likely dismiss it, thinking, "Health Reform, Health Care Reform, same difference - whatever." The occult imagery reveals, however, that the agenda here is, quite frankly, to transform you into a Beast worshiping beast or kill you. This is Health Reform! They are simply stating what they mean, in plain language, in plain sight! Two words basically define health; wholeness and holiness. (Online Etymology Dictionary, © 2010 Douglas Harper) To reform is simply to form again, to remake in another form. Over and over and over and over again in this blog you have read how a triple helix transformation is planned to remake the man created in the image of His Creator into the serpent's own image. This is Health Reform. Health Care Reform is just a pretext.

Apollo Obama, the exalted hidden ring of the present day is a forerunner, an "Olympischer Fackellauf" torch bearer in the relay. He is successfully running his leg of the relay, holding the torch high whose flame and projecting dark light holds the rapt attention of all under its seductive spell. Another, still out of sight, awaits the appointed day.

I learned today (Thanks Gwen!) another feature of the Vancouver Olympics poster. As with the logos of the bracketing Olympics, the word ZION can be assembled from the pieces of the Vancouver 2010 image.



This Zion is their reference to the "New Jerusalem" that is the assembled head and body, the Beast-capped pyramid, which is identified for us by the properly folded poster itself. This is the pyramid on the dollar bill over which Obama's coming replacement will truly reign in dark glory for a season.

What I intend to present in the next few posts will expose how the hidden ring as been known to be the key long before the rings logo came to the minds of de Coubertin or Jung.

Apple iPhone OS v4.0 - Quick Take

So Apple announced its upcoming update to the operating system that drives the iPhone, the iPod touch and, more or less, the iPad. Geeks everywhere salivated over the prospect of multitasking and a slew of other technical enhancements to the almost-three-year-old platform (ancient, I know.)

But the real news was the iAd mobile advertising platform. It's nothing less than Apple's attempt to out-Google Google with in-application advertisements. Google may own the desktop with context-sensitive ads that appear beside searches, e-mails and other Google-driven services. But Apple wants to own the mobile ad space.

Let the games begin.

A year ago today, Tori Stafford disappeared from her school in nearby Woodstock and was never seen alive again. Her body was found last July, and two suspects are slowly working their way through the justice system.

Eventually, some semblance of justice will be delivered and the monsters responsible for her murder will become rent-free guests of the Canadian penal system. But an 8-year-old girl will forever be lost, and no amount of so-called justice will ever reverse this inconceivable reality.

If you've got kids nearby, hold them a little tighter.

Part 11 - What does the Olympic Rings logo really mean?


In this post, I'm presenting yet even more imagery connecting "Apollo Obama" and "Apollo Hitler," two of the identities of the unseen sixth ring of the Olympic rings logo pyramid. Where the other images I've presented featured the Beast, these feature his mark, signaling the agenda behind the "health reform" bill recently passed into law. The imagery will be readily identified by some who follow this blog as a triple-helix DNA symbol due to the three "angel" stars and double helix serpents wrapped around a central "angel" strand. If you're new to the blog - welcome! What I write here will probably make better sense if you are familiar with the past 4 months of postings.

Peeling back the layers of this richly appointed occult image establishes links to the SS-Totenkopfverbände (Death's-Head Units - responsible for administering the Nazi concentration camps for the Third Reich) and to the associated work of such as Josef Mengele (the death angel), who took every advantage of the available opportunities to learn about the gene pool and the life of men. Tracking the post-war careers and associations of Mengele and his fellow "health care professionals" is most revealing!

Last summer, seeking to advance the health care agendas, the Obama branding agents concocted some peculiar imagery that didn't "fly under the radar" for very long. August 6, 2009 found articles like the following comparing the new health care logo to the Nazi Reichsadler symbol.


The similarity isn't hard to see. Following on the heels of what has been presented in the last several posts, it's yet one more visual association in a series that brings even stronger validation for connecting one Apollo sonnenrad with the other.

Now, for those who are interested in fueling political controversy, bringing attention to the similarity between the health care logo and the Reichsadler is sufficient, however, that's not my interest. My interest is in what the Lord is revealing to us about the signaling being done from the enemy's camp. The images being presented in the context of health care reform are layered with detail, revealing that far more is being signaled than a vague connection between the Democrats and Nazis.

Let's begin to peel back some layers of symbolism in the occult imagery of the Reichsadler-like symbol and its context.
First, let's consider what is meant by the caduceus symbol.

The Obama version of what is obviously intended to represent a caduceus is a very interesting stylized version. Let's first consider the basic issue of what it means that a caduceus should be presented in this particular context.

If the general intent of the arts practiced were to heal and one desired to honor the gods, the Rod of Asclepius would be the insignia of choice, something akin to the logo of the American Medical Association. The caduceus, although similar in appearance to the Rod of Asclepius and also seen in the context of medical care, is really something entirely different in meaning. The caduceus is the wand of Hermes, god of theft, deception and death, the god of eloquence and messengers, god of the high-road and the market-place. Search it out for yourself so you see this distinction between the symbols clearly.

If you have followed this blog series there should be no question in your mind as to whether or not the agencies behind Obama's branding know their business. The gods themselves are personally involved, and they are not in the least bit confused about how to present what they mean! The symbolism of the caduceus attached to Obama's seal is immediately a warning flag. Even if we were to ignore the similarity to Nazi symbols, this imagery alone alerts us to a dark agenda behind the health care reform effort it represents!

What I want to share about the larger context of the ObamaCare imagery that features Hermes and his herald's wand is almost incredible because of how it presents the plan to ascend man through the triple-helix serpent deification, and it will take a while. So, I'll be returning to that, Lord willing. In the interest of staying somewhat on-topic (the meaning of the Olympic rings logo and identifying the unseen ring) I'd like to expose the connections to the SS-Totenkopfverbände and Josef Mengele in this post that the ObamaCare brand professionals painstakingly conceal and the Lord generously reveals.

The paired serpents of the stylized caduceus suggest this slightly enhanced version where I have superimposed a skull. Once you see this image, it's hard to picture the ObamaCare version otherwise. The skull is most commonly a symbol of death, which is a fit association with the wand of Hermes, the god who escorts the dead on their way to the afterlife, the Underworld. The skull further represents the Beast as the head of the hidden man, underscoring a key biblical perspective of this evil work.

The similarity of the caduceus piercing the Obama seal image with the Nazi Reichsadler has been widely recognized, but I see it pointing more particularly to the SS-formation Leibstandarte SS Adolf Hitler ("LSSAH"), and even more particularly to the Waffen SS, the SS-Totenkopfverbände, and most particularly, Josef Mengele, the Nazi "death angel" who infamously "escorted" many to the afterlife. Pray about the images you see and seek the Lord's insight into what they mean.

The Reichsadler (Eagle of the Empire) looks to its right shoulder and the related Parteiadler (Nazi Party eagle) looks to its left shoulder. The "head" of the winged figure on the stylized wand of Hermes looks to neither side, more closely resembling a variant of the wand of Hitler, officially, the FührerstandarteWAND of the Leibstandarte SS Adolf Hitler ("LSSAH"). The head is lower set, and the wings, too, are more rounded. This is the wand Josef Mengele was associated with for most of his engagement with the Nazis.

The SS had another symbol called the Totenkopf. The sinister looking skull I superimposed on the ObamaCare version alludes to the Totenkopf, identified with the Waffen-SS and most particularly with the SS-Totenkopfverbände (SS-TV), the Death's-Head Units responsible for administering the Nazi concentration camps for the Third Reich.

The LSSAH was Adolf Hitler's personal Bodyguard Regiment, amalgamated into the Waffen-SS with the combat units of the SS-TV. The elite division was found guilty of war crimes in the Nuremberg Trials. The SS-Totenkopfverbände was responsible for implementing much of the "Final Solution" that was commissioned at the secretive Wannsee Conference outside Berlin in January of 1942. The three men most accountable are Adolf Eichmans, Reinhard Heydrich and Heinrich Himmler, but the man given the ObamaCare tribute is one who got much of the literal blood on his hands.

While there was a focus on depopulation in the Nazi Aktion T4 and "Final Solution" programs, the underlying agenda involved genetics. If you understand about Cain's paternity and what happened in the Garden of Eden with the serpent tree and the serpent's plan to cut off the Lord God's good tree Adamic heritage and graft those who can be grafted into his own bad tree - you know where this was heading! This "grafting" was Mengele's special interest, and why he is the featured Nazi in the ObamaCare brand association.

When the "Final Solution" commission was given to the SS in January 1942, Josef Mengele was serving with the SS Viking Division deep behind Soviet lines. He was wounded and subsequently given medals for heroism. Unable to return to combat duty, he was posted at the Race and Resettlement Office in Berlin. This was a very key turn of events, for it was at this time that he resumed an association with Othmar von Verschuer. In 1935, Mengele had earned a Ph.D in anthropology from the University of Munich. In January 1937, he became the assistant to Professor Othmar von Verschuerat the Institute for Hereditary Biology and Racial Hygiene in Frankfurt. Mengele's mentor, Dr. von Verschuerat, was made director of the Kaiser Wilhelm Institute for Anthropology, Human Heredity and Eugenics in Dahlem, Berlin in 1942. Mengele's first project with the Institute was an investigation into how specific proteins can help identify racial origin. (Skeletons in the Closet of German Science)

In April 1943, Mengele was promoted to the rank of SS captain (SS-Hauptsturmführer) in the SS-Totenkopfverbände. In May 1943, he replaced a doctor who had fallen ill at Birkenau. On May 24, 1943, he became the medical officer of Auschwitz-Birkenau's "Gypsy camp," a position that afforded him maximum freedom and the opportunity to "experiment" without restraint. Mengele availed himself of these opportunities and leveraged his relationship with von Verschuer and the Kaiser Wilhelm Institute in the pursuit of his interests in heredity and the quest to understand the secrets of the life of man. He was particularly interested in identical twins, though I suspect the twins Cain and Abel, Isaac and Ishmael and Jacob and Esau would have been primary targets of his efforts if their DNA could have been successfully retrieved in the intensive Nazi archaeological expeditions of the time.

It is in this season of service that he is pictured in this image on the right. Mengele wears the Waffen SS hat, on which are seen the Parteiadler (eagle) and Totenkopf (skull) symbols, with a braid of apparent higher office. On the right collar, which we can't see in the image, would likely be another Totenkopf insignia. On the left is his rank insignia, three pips, or, stars (Collins English Dictionary), with two silver bars.

We see in the ObamaCare brand the Waffen SS hat with its arch, upon which is the Parteiadler-esque emblem. See also the Totenkopf skull of hat and collar. In the three stars we see the pips of the rank of Hauptsturmführer represented on Mengele's collar. Mengele is known as the "Angel of Death" and "the White Angel", and this is what we see in the superimposed skull on the winged wand of Hermes, god of death and escort to the Underworld afterlife. Pictured behind the transformed Obama seal's deified Adamic stripes are the ghostly images of many people, recalling the multitude slain under the health professional Mengele's care, sacrificed to honor the gods.

Does this suggest that Americans like you and I are targeted for a similar fate under the auspices of ObamaCare health reform? Is there a depopulation agenda like unto Aktion T4 and the "Final Solution" at hand? Are we targeted for a fourth Reich Übermensch transformation? Since when exactly did "Health Care Reform" mutate into "Health Reform"? Hmmmmmm. Given what has been signaled so clearly by corporate entities like NCR, we know the mark will be introduced in the context of the medical centers and administered through health card professionals. Take the ObamaCare imagery as another clue.

The Zeusmobile is parked out back. Apollo Obama is manning the switchboard getting ready to dispatch the fleet. Heads up! To be continued, Lord willing!
