The twilight language explores hidden meanings and synchromystic connections via onomatology (study of names) and toponymy (study of place names). This blog further investigates "name games" and "number coincidences" found in news and history. Examinations are also found in my book The Copycat Effect (NY: Simon and Schuster, 2004).
During the evening of December 29, 2020, an ABC News outlet in Tennessee, WKRN reported that federal investigators (ATF/FBI ?) are looking into evidence that Antioch’s Anthony Quinn Warner, 63, the Nashville bomber, spent time hunting for alien life forms in a nearby state park (where was not disclosed), and was involved in chasing conspiracy theories on reptilians or shapeshifter “lizard people.”

Is this person a key to the enigma of the Christmas Day bombing?

Communication center appears to have been targeted.

Plumes of smoke rise next to the Regions Building near the explosion reported in the area on Friday, December 25, 2020 in Nashville, Tennessee. Buildings shook in the immediate area and beyond after a loud boom was heard early Christmas morning.
It has been declared "an intentional act."
Three people were injured.
The explosion occurred at 6:30 am on 2nd Ave N (& Commerce), in the city’s downtown area. Police described the blast, which has been linked to an RV, as “significant” and said it was likely intentional. Three people were taken to a local hospital, though none of their injuries are believed to be critical.
Authorities say when they arrived on the scene (at 5:30 am) after reports of gunfire, only to find a RV with a woman's voice “recording” saying the vehicle would explode in 15 minutes.
The van also was playing a recording of Petula Clark's "Down Town":
Down Town
by Marianne Faithfull
When you're alone And life is making you lonely You can always go Down town.
When you've got worries All the noise and the hurry Seems to hurt, I know. Down town.
Just listen to the music of the traffic in the city, Linger on the sidewalks where the neon signs are pretty. How can you lose?
The lights are much brighter there, You can forget all your troubles, forget all your cares
And go down town. Things will be great when you're Down town. No finer place for sure, Down town. Everything's waiting for you.
Don't hang around And let your problems surround you, There are movie shows Down town.
Maybe you know Some little places to go To where they never close, Down town.
Just listen to the rhythm of the gentle bossa-nova, You'll be dancing with them, too, before the night…
Was there "backward masking," revealing "Merry Christmas"? ~ Enki King.
The explosion was in front of the AT&T Building at 166 2nd Avenue.
CBS News was the first to report that Nashville Police Chief John Drake says investigators have found "tissue that we believe could be [human] remains" at the site of the downtown explosion. No fatalities from the blast have been confirmed.

Beginning on December 25, 2020, social media contacts began sending me their notes.
Eddie Lin mentioned: "I wonder if it's near Paul Laffoley's structure."
As it developed, Paul Laffoley, who had worked on the Twin Towers before he was asked to leave for suggesting a bridge between the two, had been approached to help design the Carillon Bells in Nashville's Bicentennial Park.
I had researched and found: "Words, people, and events associated with "Paul Laffoley" and his life include: December 25, Twin Towers, "Constantinople,” Frederick Kiesler, Andy Warhol, Bucky Fuller, The Day The Earth Stood Still, UFOs, 9/11, Freedom Tower, and 873 (the number of times he had seen The Day The Earth Stood Still)."
Lin said he had heard Laffoley interviewed in the show "Freedom Perspective" in an episode entitled "The Sorcerers of Atlantis."
Freeman records Laffoley using the words "blow up," and centers the edited video on Laffoley's comments on the Carillon Bells in Nashville (posted over three years ago).
Located on the northern edge of Bicentennial Capitol Mall State Park near Jefferson Street, the 95-bell carillon represents the musical heritage of the citizens of Tennessee. There is a bell for each of the Volunteer State’s 95 counties. Each quarter hour, the carillon plays a portion of the Tennessee Waltz. At the top of every hour, the 50-tower carillon plays the entire song. A 96th bell on the capitol grounds rings an answer symbolizing the government answering the call of the people."
The towers surround the Court of 3 Stars that represents Eastern, Middle and Western Tennessee.
The bells at Bicentennial Capitol Mall State Park are one of the most popular attractions for visitors. The bells are part of a “Carillon,” which means the bells reside in towers and are played with either a keyboard or, in this case, an automated pattern. The bells ring all day between the house of 6:00 AM and 11:00 PM. First, they ring on the quarter hour (example: 1:15) and then play a full Tennessee song at the top of each hour (example: 1:00). Visitors enjoy standing in the midst of the bells when they are ringing and playing for an immersive musical experience.
Composed of terraced lawns, the amphitheater was designed after the Greek theater at Epidaurus.
"The musical columns are one mile from the blast site," writes Enki King.
"I went down a rabbit hole on Christmas and read up on a Seventh Day Adventist splinter group called Future for America. They took out a full page ad in The Tennesseean in June which warned of a coming nuclear attack on Nashville on July 18.
"The group's spokesman, Elder Jeff Pippenger, also warned of a subsequent attack to take place on Christmas of next year. His reasoning is convoluted, but seems to be partly based on the belief that Nashville functions as a center for disseminating humanistic Greek thought."

By December 28, 2020, the official "verdict" was announced:
Authorities have identified the bomber behind the Christmas Day explosion in Nashville that injured three people and damaged dozens of buildings. DNA found at the scene was matched to Anthony Quinn Warner, 63, who was already a person of interest in the case. Investigators are now looking at “any and all possible motives.” Quinn was killed in the explosion, and because authorities aren’t sure why he did it, they aren’t labeling the incident as domestic terrorism. The explosion occurred right outside an AT&T transmission building, causing widespread cell phone service outages and impacting other area communications for hours.
A shooting on Saturday night, December 26, 2020, ended with the death of three people and injuries to three others. It occurred at Don Carter Lanes, Rockford, Illinois. A U.S. Army special forces sergeant Duke Webb, 37, based in Florida was charged with the random killings.
"Don Carter Lanes includes an eatery called Shooter's Bar & Grill," shared Enki King.
The explosion took place on 2nd avenue and Church street, 2nd avenue is kind of a sister street to the famed neon lights of Broadway, lined with honky tonks, night clubs, and restaurants. Second avenue continues north to the historic courthouse, done in an Art Deco style, lined on top with repeating masonry of a bull, lion, and coiled serpent. As a tourist destination for heavy drinking, these few blocks upset the violent crime statistics for the entire downtown area. There is what I consider a very dark energy and I have seen many literally bewitched with the reflection of the neon lights in their glazed eyes. The drunken revelry and violence stretches back before Country and Western Music to the days of Union occupation, when prostitution was legalized. At the top of Broadway is the old Union Station with a statue of Hermes that was once the tallest point in the city, and the Andrew Jackson Grand Lodge of Tennessee. There are also documented networks of underground tunnels throughout the area from Prohibition times.
One street over from where the explosion took place, on 1st avenue, is a reconstruction of one of the first settlements, Fort Nashborough, and The Founding of Nashville Monument. Fort Nashborough was originally further north in an area known as French Lick, named after pioneering French Trappers aligned with Shawnee Native Americans who established the first trading post atop a large mound in the 1710’s. The street on the southern parallel of Broadway, “Demonbreun,” is named after the most well known of these Frenchmen, Timothy Demonbreun. Nashville started with a mound and was a virtual graveyard, with thousands of remains being removed on both what would become downtown and across the Cumberland River on the east bank. Human habitation in the area goes back at least 10,000 years and a unique Missisipian culture has been identified by Archeologists as the Middle Cumberland Culture, with their unique style of primarily limestone stone box graves. The flag of Davidson county itself is filled with still-disputed imagery, it features a Native American holding and contemplating a skull, bringing up associations of Hamlet or Poussin.
Directly across the river from 1st avenue is the Tennessee Titans stadium, built on yet more graves and adjacent to more demolished mounds. While “Titans'' would seem like an apt mascot for American Football, remember, as the “Athens of the South”, this city also contains a replica of the Parthenon with a gigantic statue of the pagan Goddess Athena holding the head of the slain Medusa. The Titan’s logo itself is surrounded by a fiery circle, with Tennessee’s three stars and a pitchfork-styled T arranged in a method that can be easily traced as the Seal of Solomon. Nashville is a very mysterious city full of Synchromystic connections and Twilight Language, and as final note: the answer is yes, Lafayette street is not too far from where this took place, and he did visit here, bearing gifts still held at the Grand Lodge on Broadway. ~ Serfiel Stevenson of the Conspirinormal Podcast, written for this blog, on December 26, 2020.
Both Freeman's "The Sorcerers of Atlantis" and Stevenson's comments on the Masonic overlay of "honky tonks, night clubs, and restaurants." Freeman even mentioning the not-so-subtle coincidence of "owls" (shades of the Bohemian Club) in Hooters.
In the photos of destruction in Nashville, clear as day, there you have Hooters and Dicks.
********************************
On to Antioch. It was discovered that Anthony Quinn Warner's base of operations was in Antioch, Tennessee.
The 2015 event took place at the Carmike Hickory 8 Cinema in Antioch, Tennessee, around 1:15 p.m. The gunman at the Hickory Hollow Cinema, Vincente David Montano was allegedly armed with a hatchet, pepper spray, an Airsoft gun, and a fake bomb. He reportedly was wearing a surgical mask. He was shot dead by a SWAT team as he exited through the theater's rear door.
A surgical mask? Was he a time traveler from 2020? Where was the Carmike Hickory 8 Cinema? Bell Road (1) and Mountain View Road.
Outside Antioch, Greece, on October 22, 362, a mysterious fire destroyed the Temple of Apollo at Daphne.
The name Antioch populates modern incidents of violence.
An Antioch, California woman, Layla Trawick, 34, used a butcher's knife and a carving knife to attack the victims in a Target store in West Hollywood, California, Monday afternoon, May 3, 2010. She used both blades at the same time — one in each hand, like in the movie Psycho, sheriff's spokesman Steve Whitmore said.
The Yellow Springs, Ohio, campus of Antioch College – specifically the haunted Glen Helen - was the site of a supposed report of a gunman, probably a hoax, on June 27, 2013.
The Taco Bell in Antioch, California, decided to close on September 18, 2014, because of rumors of a "fight club" there in which students had broken into brawls the previous week.
Enki King quotes the media: "Warner's letter concluded with the bizarre and sinister lines, 'The attic has plywood and lighting, take a look. The basement is not normal, take a look. Woof woof Julio."
Joanna Lenski figures this is tied to...
"Woof woof Julio"
Julio - as a boys' name is of Latin and Greek derivation, and the meaning of Julio is "youthful; Jove's child". Julio is a version of Julian (Latin): form of Julius. STARTS WITH Ju- ASSOCIATED WITH Greek, youthful (red) Cesar sync - Roman (Nero manifestation) and biblical sync codes. Julio name meaning: "down bearded youth.” Down bearded is a very soft beard like the kind a young man would have.- reference to a young man ? "devoted to Jove" Julio-Claudian Dynasty, the first five Roman Emperors
Jove = Jupiter Jove - (Roman mythology) supreme god of Romans; counterpart of Greek Zeus."

One major mystery remains to be solved. Who is Michelle Swing? Is she, as noted on Twitter the "white rabbit" pictured at the beginning of this posting?

“We do not know if that (explosion location) was a coincidence, or if that was the intention.” — Nashville police spokesman Don Aaron
The BellSouth Building is located at 333 Commerce Street in Nashville, Tennessee and was completed in 1994. This building was designed by Earl Swensson Associates and stands 617 feet tall with 33 floors. BellSouth is nicknamed "The Batman Building" due to its resemblance to the costumed super hero's mask. This building is also the tallest in all of Tennessee. This pewter replica (by InFocusTech) stands 6 inches tall and is finished in antique pewter.
Did Stanley Kubrick (July 26, 1928 – March 7, 1999) make a Christmas film?
Students of Kubrick clearly agree that he did. The one movie generally considered to be his "Christmas masterpiece" is Eyes Wide Shut.
Film critic Roger Ebert wrote on July 19, 1999, that the Eyes Wide Shut was shoot "in a grainy high-contrast style, using lots of back-lighting, underlighting and strong primary colors, setting the film at Christmas to take advantage of the holiday lights, he makes it all a little garish, like an urban sideshow."
On March 7, 1999, six days after screening a final cut of Eyes Wide Shut for his family and the stars, Kubrick died in his sleep at the age of 70, after suffering a massive heart attack.
If Eyes Wide Shut is about the Illuminati, it makes sense that Kubrick would utilize Christmas lights to "illuminate" his film.
Mainstream analysts have tried to wrestle with the Christmas setting of Eyes Wide Shut.
In addition to relocating the story from Vienna in the 1900s to New York City in the 1990s, Kubrick changed the time-frame of Schnitzler's story from Mardi Gras to Christmas. One critic believed Kubrick did this because of the rejuvenating symbolism of Christmas. Others have noted that Christmas lights allow Kubrick to employ some of his distinct methods of shooting including using source location lighting, as he did in Barry Lyndon. The New York Times noted that the film "gives an otherworldly radiance and personality to Christmas lights", and critic Randy Rasmussen noted that "colorful Christmas lights ... illuminate almost every location in the film." Harper's film critic, Lee Siegel, believes the film's recurring motif is the Christmas tree, because it symbolizes the way that "Compared with the everyday reality of sex and emotion, our fantasies of gratification are, yes, pompous and solemn in the extreme ... For desire is like Christmas: it always promises more than it delivers." Author Tim Kreider noted that the "Satanic" mansion-party at Somerton is the only set in the film without a Christmas tree, stating "Almost every set is suffused with the dreamlike, hazy glow of colored lights and tinsel ... Eyes Wide Shut, though it was released in summer, was the Christmas movie of 1999." Noting that Kubrick has shown viewers the dark side of Christmas consumerism, Louise Kaplan stated that the film illustrates ways that the "material reality of money" is shown replacing the spiritual values of Christmas, charity and compassion. While virtually every scene has a Christmas tree, there is "no Christmas music or cheery Christmas spirit." Critic Alonso Duralde, in his book Have Yourself a Movie Little Christmas, categorized the film as a "Christmas movie for grownups" (as he also did with Bergman's Fanny and Alexander and The Lion in Winter), arguing that "Christmas weaves its way through the film from start to finish". Source.
But, wait, there may be more...
In 2012, Tony Sokol ("Den of Geek) reviewed Kubrick's The Shining (1980), and began by frankly stating "Yes, it's a Christmas movie."
Sokol re-imagined The Shining as a Christmas parable. It makes sense in various examples he gave, such as, "The head cook at the hotel, Dick Hallorann, notices that Danny shines like the Star of Bethlehem."
And, "Dick Hallorran, representative of the Zoroastrian Magi, who became extinct after the rise of Christianity, sees the call of Danny’s shining star and cuts his holiday vacation short just in time to be dispatched by Jack, who hobbles off to spread his cheer with his son in the massive property’s hedge maze. The Scroogey father dawdles too long in the snow and becomes a Jack Frost lawn ornament."
Feeling a little poorly on Saturday evening, I went to bed and watched the movie, Passengers....One thing, though, that I did find interesting was the inclusion of The Shining’s Gold Room.
I supposed it was done on purpose, as an homage to Stanley Kubrick, a fact that was confirmed yesterday when I happened across a post on the subject at Twilight Language. The post also brings up the odd coincidence that Michael Sheen’s (Arthur, the android bartender on the Avalon) father earns a living as a looky-likey for Jack Nicholson.
The blog writer quoted me from a TL passage:
Via Twitter, I bemoaned to Alex Fulton at Crypto-Kubrology Twitter that "modern Cryptokubrology is frustrating when Shining scenes are in new films w/out sync-reasoning."
To which Fulton replied that "modern films w/ 237s inserted… hard not to assume the filmmakers just being clever. Pre-Shining 237s are where it gets weird."
You can see this post-Kubrick/Shining mentioning in Stand By Me, a 1986 film based on a Stephen King story, as was The Shining (1980). In Stand By Me there is a scene when the boys' total change adds up to $2.37.
"Just call me Roob" mentions one older Christmas movie which includes a "237," namely The Shop Around the Corner (1940). ("Roob" made some other synchrocinematic connections, and you can read her stream of consciousness links here.)
Many of us have seen this Cryptokubrology sync to The Shining, coming before The Shining, previously.
I was reminded of The Shop Around the Corner on Christmas Eve 2017, when TCM broadcast In the Good Old Summertime, which, believe it or not, is a Christmas movie.
Definitely a Christmas movie.
The Shop Around the Corner is a 1940 American romantic comedy film produced and directed by Ernst Lubitsch and starring Margaret Sullavan, James Stewart and Frank Morgan. The screenplay was written by Samson Raphaelson based on the 1937 Hungarian play Parfumerie by Miklós László. Eschewing regional politics in the years leading up to World War II, the film is about two employees at a leathergoods shop in Budapest who can barely stand each other, not realizing they're falling in love as anonymous correspondents through their letters, as noted in Wikipedia.
Fans of Cryptokubrology realize what postal mailbox number is the focus of The Shop Around the Corner. Of course, it is P. O. Box 237.
Now, as to the film that played on cable on December 24th...
In the Good Old Summertime is a 1949 Technicolor musical film directed by Robert Z. Leonard. It stars Judy Garland, Van Johnson and S.Z. Sakall. The film is a musical adaptation of the 1940 film, The Shop Around the Corner.
Veronica Fisher (Judy Garland) enters Oberkugen's music shop, looking for work. Although Otto Oberkugen (S. Z. Sakall) is reluctant to take on more staff, she wins a job by persuading a wealthy matron, through her singing and musical expertise, to buy a harp at almost $25 over Oberkugen's list price. Neither she nor Andrew Larkin (Van Johnson), the shop's senior salesman, suspects that they are each other's anonymous pen pal. They bicker constantly at work although becoming increasingly attracted to each other.
And what P.O. Box is mentioned in In the Good Old Summertime? Box 237!
Andrew Delby Larkin (Van Johnson): Oh, Veronica, I love you so! Won't you open box 237 and take me out of my envelope?
Veronica Fisher (Judy Garland): Box 23- Box 237! You mean... You?
<><><>
These two movies - The Shop Around the Corner and In the Good Old Summertime - have another sync that ties to Eyes Wide Shut. In Max Malone's analysis (noted above), Eyes Wide Shut is seen as having many ties to The Wizard of Oz and Through The Looking Glass. This is evidenced by the many mirrors and the Rainbow shop in Eyes Wide Shut.
Here's where it begins to get synchrocinematically intriguing.
Frank Morgan played Professor Marvel, The Wizard, Doorman, Cabbie and Guard in The Wizard of Oz (1940), and then showed up as Mr. Hugo Matuschek in The Shop Around the Corner (1949).
Judy Garland played Dorothy Gale in The Wizard of Oz (1939) and then as Veronica Fisher ten years later in In the Good Old Summertime (1949).
Are we over the rainbow?
A scene from Eyes Wide Shut
So what is the Rainbow? And how does it relate to The Shining? For one the Rainbow's proprietor Milich resembles Jack Nicholson, with a similar hairline and expressive acting style. He’s even wearing a bathrobe and plaid flannel shirt. Perhaps Milich is an analog to Jack after 20 years or so as entertainment director of the Overlook Hotel. Like the Overlook, the Rainbow teleports in and out of reality, seems to grow in size once entered, and offers impossible vistas. The Rainbow is also a site of sexual depravity, with Milich’s daughter being the pedophiles’ target much like Danny. The Rainbow, like a hotel, is also a rental business. For a price, one can temporarily access realities greater than afforded one’s basic financial situation. For Cruise, the Rainbow’s costume rental allows him, if only for a moment, into the secret lair of the elite, just like Jack’s five-month tenure at the Overlook allows him to act like king of the mountain in a grand, fantastical palace. At the end of the night, Milich absolves Cruise of his debt by tearing up his receipt, but what has been seen cannot be unseen, as his missing mask will surely remind him when uncovered. Source.
