Syncs Most Sinister: Samuel Lincoln Woodward and Blaze Bernstein

Samuel Lincoln Woodward

News broke on January 12, 2018, of the high profile arrest of a "Lincoln" tied to several lexilink/name syncs.

I wrote on January 7th, "Something tells me, let's call it a hunch, that Lincoln will be one of the names giving us pause in 2018."

Blaze Bernstein

The Timeline:

January 2, 2018.

Blaze Bernstein, a 19-year-old Jewish student at the University of Pennsylvania, went missing on Tuesday, January 2, 2018, from his parents’ Southern California home, reported The Times of Israel.

January 9, 2018.

Bernstein’s body was found Tuesday, January 9, 2018, in brush surrounding Borrego Park in Lake Forest, California, his hometown, CBS News reported. 

January 10, 2018.

His death was investigated as a homicide and an autopsy was performed on Wednesday, January 10, 2018.

January 12, 2018.

On Friday, January 12, 2018, Samuel Lincoln Woodward was arrested in connection with the death of Blaze Bernstein​, whose body was found in Borrego Ranch Park, a week after he was reported missing by his family.

Woodward as taken into custody shortly after leaving his home in Newport Beach. He was booked into Orange County jail booking # 3034445 on January 12, 2018. He had told homicide​ investigators that he drove Bernstein to Borrego Ranch Park on the night of January 2, 2018.

Woodward’s hands were scratched and had dirt on them one of the times he was interviewed by detectives. He told them the scratches and dirt came from participating in a Fight Club​.
Woodward stated he left the park, visited a girlfriend and went back to look for Bernstein hours later in the early morning. He also stated he did not remember his girlfriend’s last name or where she lived. 2

Jeanne Pepper Bernstein, mother of the deceased student, told The Los Angeles Times: "Celebrate the goodness that still exists in this world in spite of these acts of senseless evil."

January 15, 2018

The Times of Israel noted: "Authorities said Monday that a 19-year-old University of Pennsylvania student whose body was found buried in a shallow grave in a California park had been stabbed more than 20 times. No weapon has been found."

January 18, 2018

The Los Angeles Times headlines their story this date with a confusing headline: "LGBTQ college student is stabbed 20 times, but was it a hate crime?"

The article reveals some alleged facts behind the death of Blaze Bernstein. "

Woodward would go on to tell detectives that Bernstein had kissed him, according to a law enforcement source who was unauthorized to discuss the case publicly and requested anonymity. Woodward, the source said, also told investigators he had wanted to call Bernstein a “faggot.”

Woodward and Bernstein

Samuel Lincoln Woodward and Blaze Bernstein went to the Orange County School of the Arts together.

Robert Redford and Dustin Hoffman as Bob Woodward and Carl Bernstein in All the President's Men; Reporters Woodward and Bernstein.

Online comment makers in Los Angeles mentioned the bizarre coincidence of the Woodward/Bernstein names in this case, and the names of the two individuals who broke the Watergate case.

Names defined

Blaze is a very large or fiercely burning fire (like the wildfires in southern California in late 2017).

Bernstein is a Jewish surname meaning "amber." Amber is a jewel name that became popular in the 19th century, from the name of the yellowish fossil resin used in jewellery-making.

We do not know why Woodward was named "Samuel Lincoln."

Samuel is a male given name and a surname of Hebrew origin meaning either "name of God" or "God has heard." 

Lincoln, see "Name Game: Lincoln," January 7, 2018.

Woodward is a name deriving its meaning from an occupation name for "a forester employed to look after the trees and game in a forest." Forest warden. Middle English woodward (from the Old English). Perhaps also from an Old English personal name Wuduweard, composed of the elements wudu "wood" + weard "guardian," "protector." Wuduwose, "wild man of the woods," reveals the same origins.

The Borrego name has an association with the "Borrego Sandman," the so-called southern California desert Sasquatch. Native peoples in the area are said to have lived with knowledge of large, fowl-smelling, wild men in the area, and avoided their reported home (called towis puki "camp of the devil") on the southern bank of the Santa Ana River. Specifically, "borrego" translates as "lamb" or "bighorn sheep" (to some) from Spanish; the word may be a derogatory term for someone of Portuguese descent, or a gentle, foolish, or gullible person. The Bernstein murder occurred in the Borrego Park in Lake Forest, California. The Sandman reports are referenced most often to the Anza-Borrego Desert State Park.

Bernstein Bears

Another bizarre link to this is the "Bernstein"/Mandela Effect thoughts that are immediately brought to mind with this murder. The victim's name, Blaze Bernstein brings forth these notions. 

Some theorists "believe that the name of the books was actually Berenstein at one point, but we've shifted into a parallel universe — an alternative timeline, if you will — where the title of the books is The Berenstain Bears. There's actually a name for this theory: The Mandela Effect." ~ Aug 5, 2015

Snopes.com discounts this phenomenon:

No single example of the Mandela Effect has generated more online buzz than that of the children’s book series and animated TV show The Berenstain Bears. Quite a few people who grew up with the series, it turns out, remember the title being The Berenstein Bears, with the name ending in “ein” instead of “ain” (with some even going to go so far as to maintain that the fictional bears’ surname was changed along the way to make it “less Jewish”).

h/t to S.L. and others.

April 5: Cobain

Well, that's one man's opinion.

It is difficult to forget "Cobain."

Cobain
This unusual surname is of Old Norse origin and is found particularly in Scotland. It derives from an Old Norse personal name Kobbi, itself from an element meaning "large," and the Gaelic bain, denoting a "fair person," but is pronounced in common speech Cobban, with the diminutive ("little" or "son" of) form Cobbie.

As far as the name game, this all places Cobain in the realm of all that has been associated with Bain/Bane, and The Dark Knight (Batman) material.

In my book, The Copycat Effect (NY: Simon and Schuster, 2004), Chapter 13 is entitled "Cobain Copycats," and it deeply examines the evidence for over 70 copycat suicides in the wake of Kurt Cobain taking his own life on April 5, 1994. The US government, via the CDC, tried to convince suicidologists and the general public that they had "prevented" suicides in the Seattle area. The government supported a paper saying that only one (1) suicide could be linked to Kurt Cobain's suicide. They forgot to look beyond the Seattle area for their statistics, and instead to the worldwide impact, to where Curt Cobain had major influence.

Much has been written on the suicide vs murder theories. I won't go over that. You can read Wikipedia for their summary. I consider it a fact that Kurt Cobain died by suicide.

Phantom Clowns: Two New Piedmont Triad Incidents

On Tuesday, September 6, 2016, a local NC ABC News outlet reported a new Phantom Clown sighting.

Guilford County, North Carolina was the location, again, of another incident. The Greensboro, North Carolina police received a call Tuesday, September 6, 2016, about "another clown sighting in the Piedmont Triad."

The sighting occurred at The Park at Oak Ridge apartments off Old Oak Ridge Road not far from Interstate 73. A man said he saw a clown near the wooded area behind the complex at about 10 a.m.
Chris Bass told WGHP that he lives at the complex with his wife and two children. He said he was on his balcony when he spotted a man in a white mask, red curly hair and blue pants in the wooded area. Bass tried to chase the clown but could not catch him. He called his actions his "fatherly instinct." Source.

Sunday night, September 4, 2016, two sightings of Phantom Clowns took place in nearby Winston-Salem (see here).

Why might local law enforcers be taking the reports of clowns trying to lure little children into the woods so seriously? Could it have something to do with the 50th year anniversary of some horrible events that happened in this area?

The Piedmont Triad consists of the three major cities of Greensboro, Winston-Salem, and High Point, North Carolina.

High Point, North Carolina, has had a strange history of weird crimes. It’s been 50 years since the city was stalked by The Paddler. Pretending to be a police officer —The Paddler lured young boys into his car, driving them to secluded areas and paddling them relentlessly before finally letting them go.

By mid-May of 1966, five boys — ranging in age from 11 to 16 — had fallen prey to The Paddler...Thanks to an officer with a keen eye and an even keener memory, police got their man on May 19, 1966 — only five days after he had assaulted Thomasville teenager Jerry Hazel. The break came when a Winston-Salem Police officer saw the composite drawing of the suspect and recognized him as someone he'd encountered before. That night, he and other officers arrested 25-year-old truck driver George Kent Wallace —aka The Paddler — at his home in Winston-Salem, charging him with impersonating a police officer, kidnapping, and assault with a deadly weapon on a minor. Source.

After George Kent Wallace got out of prison, having served his 10 year sentence for being The Paddler, he went on to do more violence.

He would spend the next 14 years in and out of prison for doing exactly what he'd done in High Point: Pretending to be a police officer. Luring adolescent boys into his car. Driving them to secluded areas. Paddling them. Source.

But then he turned to murder.

In the 1976 case, Wallace picked up 14-year-old hitchhiker Jeffrey Lee Foster, who was hitchhiking from Hanes Mall in Winston-Salem. After driving to the end of a dead-end road, Wallace dragged the teen to the back seat, pulled his pants down and paddled him. Then he resumed driving, "looking for a satisfactory place to kill him," Wallace would say later. When he found that place, he dragged the boy out of the car, put him on his stomach and stabbed him to death.
In the 1982 case, Wallace "arrested" 18-year-old Thomas Stewart Reed at a shopping-center parking lot in Winston-Salem, then drove to some abandoned acreage he had scouted a few weeks earlier. When Reed refused Wallace's order to get in the back seat, Wallace hit him across the legs with a paddle, then struck his head several times with a BB pistol as the two scuffled. The teen stopped struggling momentarily, but when he resumed, Wallace gave up trying to get him into the back seat and stabbed him to death, too. Source.

George Kent Wallace would go from being a serial paddler to a serial killer, in High Point, North Carolina, in Enterprise, North Carolina, and in Fort Smith, Arkansas, eventually he was captured. He was finally executed —on August 10, 2000.

Horror can come in many shapes. Sometimes as The Paddler. Sometimes as a Phantom Clown.

Nighthawks & Death at the Ice Cream Parlor

In examining the meaning behind the painting, K Shabi says in "Edward Hopper Nighthawks Diner Painting Meaning & Film Noir Analysis" that the 1942 Nighthawks shares much with its like bird-named 1941 precursor, The Maltese Falcon. It is a scene from "black film" frozen in time.

This morning Red Dirt Report editor Andrew W. Griffin alerted me to a unique stabbing at a Braum's restaurant in Oklahoma City. I was immediately struck by the hauntingly long-distance similarity between the late Sunday night crime photograph and Nighthawks.

According to the artist, the diner in Nighthawks is based off a real restaurant in Hopper's New York Greenwich Village neighborhood at an intersection “where two streets meet.” In stark contrast with the dark streets outside, the harsh florescent light illuminating the inside of the diner just became popular in the early 1940s, when Nighthawks was painted. In fact, diner culture itself did not take off until the late 1920s in the US, allowing night owls and insomniacs like the characters in Hopper's painting a place to relax and chat, escaping the lonely city outside for a while. ~ K Shabi

The Oklahoma Labor Commissioner Mark Costello, who was at Braum's for a late meeting on August 23, 2015, with his son Christian Erin Costello, 26, was allegedly stabbed to death by his son, according to Tim Farley's piece. Reports said the elder Costello suffered four stab wounds, including one to his head after he fled the ice cream parlor and eatery by foot.

"Costello’s son, who had a reported history of mental illness, appeared at the Braum’s with a knife and stabbed his father who was trying to make amends in a relationship that had fallen apart," wrote Farley.

Digging a bit, I came across a weird note in the young man's past. In October of 2014, Christian Costello, 26, was arrested after he was accused of exposing himself around 4 p.m. to people at St. Eugene's School in The Village, Oklahoma. 

"Officers with The Village Police Department said when they found Costello, he was chewing on bird feathers, dandelions and other weeds," reported News9.

Yes, bird feathers. Like on nighthawks and falcons.

While the name "Costello" may sound Italian, most of the time it is Irish in origin, from "Son of Oisdealbhaigh," meaning "resembling a deer or fawn."

Murder Most Mysterious on Mass Ave

Murder is so rare in Portland, Maine, that you can count the incidents on one hand since 2011. But two of them have been associated with separate ends of Massachusetts Avenue in 2014 and 2011.

Here are the statistics for recent years: 2000, No murders; 2001, 1; 2002, 3; 2003, 1; 2004, 2; 2005, 3; 2006; 3; 2007, 1; 2008, 4; 2009, 4; 2010, 6; 2011, 2; 2012, 1. (Source.) There was only one homicide in Portland, Maine, in 2013. (Source.)

Most murders in Portland, Maine, are the result of domestic violence, but less than 10% remain "unsolved."

A new murder in Portland is a surprise. Where it happened is, as well. The Brighton Avenue-Massachusetts Avenue-Congress Street area is a mix of apartment houses at each end, with quiet single-family homes, lined with maple trees and comfortable little front and back yards, in between. This is near the University of Southern Maine, and where students, immigrants, professors, and ex-professors live. The site of these murders is where I live, and a shock for the neighborhood. (It was just a "coincidence" that I wrote about redrum/murder earlier on the same day.)

But are we discovering, at least, for murder mysteries of 2011 and 2014, this one area is a focus?

Here's what we know about the murder last night, Friday, November 21, 2014.

Portland police say a man was shot and killed by another man who fled the scene of the apparent homicide in an apartment on Brighton Avenue on Friday night.
Police found one man dead when they were called to an apartment at 214 Brighton Ave. shortly after 9 p.m. to respond to a report that shots had been fired.
The man believed to have committed the killing fled, but police didn’t know whether he got in a vehicle or ran. They did say that the suspected shooter was no longer thought to be in the area late Friday night, and that no one had been taken into custody.
Police did not release the identity of the victim.
Brighton Avenue was closed between Douglass Street and Massachusetts Avenue while police investigated the killing. They expected the street to remain closed for some time.
The shooting occurred in the Princeton Village Apartments, a large complex next to the train tracks that run through the neighborhood. (Read more.)

The time was also given in another report:

Portland police are investigating a homicide at 214 Brighton Ave. Officers arrived an apartment around 9:05 p.m. Friday and found one man dead. (Read more.)

Saturday evening, the victim was identified as Richard Lobor, 23, of Portland. Source.

Lobor was a guest in an apartment at 214 Brighton Avenue, where the fatal shooting took place. Source.

==============================================================

In 2011, an unsolved murder happened at the opposite end of Massachusetts Avenue.

Portland police investigate a fatal shooting that happened early Monday, August 1, 2011, outside 4-6 Massachusetts Ave. Police were called to the Mobil gas station at 1196 Congress St., in the background, and found a 41-year-old man lying on the sidewalk in front of the station. He was pronounced dead at the scene, police said. John Patriquin/Portland Press Herald photographer

Portland police search an alley outside 4-6 Massachussetts Ave., where a man apparently was shot early Monday. The shooting is the first homicide of this year in Portland. John Patriquin/Portland Press Herald photographer

The victim, identified as Allen MacLean, apparently was shot at 4:30 am behind the three-story apartment building at 4-6 Massachusetts Ave., and collapsed on the sidewalk in front of a Mobil gas station and convenience store at 1196 Congress St.

The case is still listed as unsolved, as the Portland Police department's only "cold case homicide" for 2011. (See here.)

Kubrick Red: Redrum, Redrug and More

Kubrick Red: Redrum, Redrug and More

When I visited the Stanley Hotel a few years ago, Redrum was an appropriate souvenir. Of course, Redrum is "murder" backwards. It also was a clever way for Stanley Kubrick to celebrate his favorite film color in The Shining.

A new short documentary has appeared this week doing the same thing for several of his movies.

Here it is:

Red: A Kubrick Supercut

Whether from recent tomahawk imagery, 

from hatchet horrors (see here) or axe attacks (see here), red (including via Red Dirt Report) is there too.

Note the extensive use of red in the following Progressive Insurance spot called "Superport."

I am not interested in making any claims for this ad, other than to mention the red. Some (e.g. The Grotx1 ~ thanks Steve L.) talk about the end times by using this Progressive ad. I'm more interested in the synchromystic link, via a chromaticism analysis.

Also, it is intriguing how the number "211" is used and made to vanish in the ad. Grotx1 sees in "211" a connection to the 21st of the month.

But, of course, the use of 211 is a not-too-subtle way for Progressive Insurance to broadcast they are the company to turn to for answers. 2-1-1 is a special abbreviated telephone number reserved in Canada and the United States as an easy-to-remember three-digit telephone number meant to provide quick information and referrals to health and human service organizations for both services from charities and from governmental agencies. It is similar to the use of 9-1-1 as a way to recall an emergency number for help.

The 211 Crew is a white supremacist prison gang, active both in and out of prison, that was formed in 1995 at Colorado's Denver County Jail. It was linked to several high-profile assassinations of correctional and legal officials, and on-going criminal investigations.

Kubrick is more intrigued with 237, however, as most of us involved with syncs and the twilight language know.

Attempted Murder For Slender Man

A murder based on a myth? It nearly happened. A stabbing's motive laid at the feet of a character created on the Internet? It did happen.

The Mythos

In an as-yet-unpublished article written in January 2014, my wife Jenny penned this beginning to her historical overview:

Slender Man is the hipster monster in the black suit waving his multiple appendages outside Generation Y’s bedroom window. 

Slender Man is not a new and trendy entity; it is simply the reborn face of an ancient evil, resurrected from the ashes by ever-increasing access to media, technical advances, and the bleak corners of the human mind: evil as timeless and as ubiquitous as thought itself, pre-dating language, its true origins in death, the dark, and the rolling eyeball of primal fear.

At top: Slender Man on granite, by Andy Finkle.

The Slender Man was first created on a thread in the Something Awful forum on June 8, 2009, with the objective of editing photographs to contain supernatural entities. On June 10, a forum poster with the user name "Victor Surge" contributed two black and white images of groups of children, to which he added a tall, thin spectral figure wearing a black suit. The Slender Man (sometimes written Slenderman) is described as very tall and thin with unnaturally long, tentacle-like arms (or merely tentacles), which it can extend to intimidate or capture prey.

The Attempted Murder

On May 31, 2014, two 12-year-old southeastern Wisconsin girls stabbed their 12-year-old friend nearly to death in the woods to please Slender Man, which they had learned about online. Morgan Geyser and Anissa Weier, 12-year-old girls in Waukesha, Wisconsin, held down and stabbed a 12-year-old friend 19 times.

The two girls claimed that they wished to commit a murder as a first step to becoming "proxies" (acolytes) of the Slender Man. They had planned it for months, and finally made the attempt in a park on Saturday morning, after a slumber party. They said they learned about Slender Man on Creepy Pasta, a website about horror stories and legends. They planned to run away to the demon's forest mansion (in the Nicolet National Forest) after the slaying, the police complaint said.

The girls invited their friend to a slumber party on Friday evening, the complaint said. They planned to kill her during the night so they wouldn't have to look into her eyes, one girl told police, and then run away. They decided to put it off, but the next day, during a hide-and-seek game in a wooded park, they attacked their friend with a knife. One girl told the other to "go ballistic, go crazy," according to the court documents.

The victim began to scream that she hated them and started stumbling away, one of the girls told police.

The girls left the victim lying in the woods. She crawled to a road where a bicyclist found her lying on the sidewalk. Police arrived and she gave them the name of one of the girls who attacked her.

She was rushed into surgery, police said.

The two girls have been charged with attempted murder, and each could be sentenced to 65 years in prison each.

Name Game

Waukesha: Over the years, many believed, incorrectly, that the origin of the name of the city was an Algonquian word meaning "fox" or "little foxes," though it is actually an Anglicization of the Ojibwe proper name Waagoshag or the Potawatomi name Wau-tsha. Wau-tsha (sometimes written as Wauk-tsha or Wauke-tsha) was the leader of the local tribe at the time of the first European settlement of the area. This is confirmed by accounts of Increase A. Lapham, an early settler and historian of the region. According to Lapham, the word for "fox" was pishtaka. Cutler also told visitors about Wau-tsha, who was described as "tall and athletic, proud in his bearing, dignified and friendly."

(In appearance, Wau-tsha - without tentacles - sounds like Slender Man.)

Waukesha, Wisconsin has a long history of poltergeist, hauntings, and related stories. Also, the town was the epicenter for "phantom kangaroo" sightings in 1978, in Wisconsin.)

Nicolet National Forest: The national forest was named after Jean Nicolet (Nicollet) de Belleborne (ca. 1598 – 1 November 1642) was a French coureur des bois noted for exploring Green Bay of Lake Michigan, in what is now the U.S. state of Wisconsin. He was a known friend of Samuel De Champlain and Etienne Brule. He was attracted to Canada to participate in Samuel Champlain's plan to train young French men as explorers and traders by having them live among native Americans.

Morgan Geyser: Morgan is a Celtic/Irish/Welsh name meaning "dweller by the sea" and/or "fighter of the sea." Geyser literally means "a spring that throws forth intermittent jets of heated water and steam."

Anissa Weier: Anissa as a girl's name has the meaning "pure, holy; satisfaction" and is a variant of Agnes (Greek): Latin form of the Greek name Hagnes, from the feminine form of "hagnos." Weier means "dweller at the sign of the kite (a bird of prey)" and/or "dweller by a fish pond."

One Dead in Coudersport Church Shooting

The underlying nature of the copycat effect calls forth vulnerable, suicidal, homicidal, and suicidal-homicidal individuals to repeat a pattern that has flooded recent media attention.

We are certainly seeing an uptick in public murder-suicides and related forms of domestic violence.

Another such shooting occurred on Sunday, December 2, 2012, in the First Presbyterian Church in Coudersport, Pennsylvania, around 2 p.m.

Pennsylvania State Police report they have the suspect, a elementary music teacher from Coudersport School District, Greg Eldred (pictured above), in custody.

Fifty-three-year-old Eldred allegedly entered the church and then allegedly fired two shots at his ex-wife, Darlene Sitler, who was a long time music teacher at the Northern Potter School. She died instantly.

The accused shooter was subdued by members of the congregation until police arrived.

Witnesses say that Eldred was pacing in front of the church for a while before entering.

Enki, who passed along this news, noted, "A teacher shot a teacher in church...in CouderSPORT. Greg = "watchful, alert." Eldred = "battle counseler," "wise advisor," "old wise ruler" (King resonating), or "wise or red haired man."

Coudersport is known within Fortean circles as a hot spot of strange phenomena, especially regarding reports from the nearby Black Forest. For example, I once was traveled to the area to be interviewed by a Discovery Science youth-oriented program, detailing mysteries of the Black Forest.

Aurora Again: Murder, Comedy and Gilligan's Island Too

Aurora comic Tyler Warren Withrow, 30, has been accused of killing two women in rural Yuma County, Colorado. Days after the murders, through dental records, the women were identified as Withrow's mother, Dianne Withrow, 50, and his grandmother, Elva Doddridge, 88, who lived in the farm house in the small town of Kirk. The aspiring comedian has a day job of processing insurance applications, 7NEWS reported. 

Withrow was charged with two counts of first-degree murder with premeditation. He was advised of the charges on August 14th, during a hearing in Yuma County District Court in Wray, the Yuma Pioneer reported. He is accused of killing his two female relatives on Monday, August 13, 2012, at a home near the community of Kirk, near the Kansas border.

Deputies responded to the home after a woman called 911 at 10:35 a.m., gave her address and said she needed the Sheriff's Office before apparently hanging up, the newspaper reported. It took about 35 minutes for the first deputies from Wray to reach the remote home. They found Withrow at the home along with the bodies of the two women.

The Denver Post learned that Withrow had a run-in with Aurora Police in late July 2012. Officers responded to a residence on the 2500 block of South Victor Street, near where Withrow lives, and discovered him naked in a garage, "smashing car windows with a golf club," the paper pointed out.

"Your neighbor is naked, and he’s throwing things out in the driveway. Something’s wrong," said Sydney Summers, a neigbor who called 911 before the destruction began. 

"This guy was usually quiet. We had no idea. He didn’t talk to anybody. He stayed to himself."

Police officers got Withrow under control by tasing him.

Aurora's Withrow as the Green Lantern and in mugshot.

Police said Withrow was transported to a hospital, where he was treated for cuts and given a mental health evaluation. Aurora police said they couldn't locate Withrow after he was released from the hospital, but detectives have applied for an arrest warrant in the window-smashing case.

Afterward, Withrow was briefly hospitalized both for minor injuries and his disturbed mental state before being released. 

And then he dropped off the radar and disappeared from Aurora.

Until August 13th. (1. 2. 3.)

Comic Withrow was never really funny, apparently. Take, for example, his two self-published e-books: Barack Obama and the Politics of Pussy: Fired Up!, and What Unhinged Tyler Withrow Pt 1: The Whore of Babylon.

From his bio:

I am currently studying necromancy and hope to raise the dead to destroy the world as you know it and rebuild it in my own image.
I also enjoy using the juicer that I have broken twice. Fresh fruit is beyond the limit of my budget, but I found that when spoiled, grocery stores just throw them out. I need penicillin with my juice, but it is affordable and environmentally friendly.
I must point out that I weigh 20 pounds less now then I did in this picture. I was the fattest Green Lantern outside of Comic-Con. I'm still very aroused by the sight of myself.
In brightest day...

From the content of the first book:

Here's an analogy that has served me well: You are about to play a game of chess. If you play the game like me, you'll do the following before you start:
• Deep breathing exercises
• Meditation
• Pop a few horse tranquilizers
• Punch your pig while listening to Bryan Adams
• Think about what you know about the opponent's strategy
• Punch your pig while thinking about your opponent's strategy
• Ejaculate onto the chair of a coworker that you hate
• Weep softly at your broken dreams

In my 1983 Mysterious America, I wrote:

Cryptologic or coincidence? Jim Brandon should be credited with calling attention to the name Watts/Watkins/Watson, and its entanglement with inexplicable things. Some other names involved in mysterious events pinpointed by Brandon are Bell, Mason, Parsons, Pike, Vernon, and Warren. The influence of such names as Mason, Pike, Warren, and Lafayette, for example, issues, in some cryptopolitical and occult way, from their ties to the Masonic tradition.

And Gilligan's Island too...

Speaking of supposed "comedy," there has developed an intriguing synchromystic subculture of folks looking at Gilligan's Island and it's contemporary insights, culturally. A relatively short-lived program, it was on the air for three seasons, 1964-1967, and it is recalled favorably by many. 

Red Dirt Report's Andrew Griffin pointed this out to me, specifically noting the complex writings at the blog, Dismantle the Beam Project's "Gilligan’s Island (NWO Blueprint)."

Gilligan's Islands gives forth with plenty of material, and images for several forms of synchronicity discussions, in terms of colors, people, places, plots, and more. For example, let me point out how Bob Denver, as "Gilligan," appeared in one episode, compared with recent mugshots of alleged Aurora shooter James Holmes and alleged Tucson killer Jared Loughner, below.

And then today, I was amazed to discover, concerning a piece of land near Puerto Rico, the island today which is identified as "Gilligan's Island," this factoid:

"While doing research for a recent trip to the south-west of Puerto Rico, I found that a day trip to Gilligan’s Island was on everyone’s 'must-do' list. Gilligan’s Island (the official name is Cayo Aurora) is a little speck of land about a mile off the coast of Guánica." Source.

and

"The western cay, also called Gilligan's Island (after the TV series), or Cayo Aurora, is served by boat (600 m from the mainland at Punta Jacinto) and has public beaches." Source.
And there you have Aurora again.
