Nostradamus, Byzantium, Turkey & Trump

Five hundred, thirteen years ago, this week, Nostradamus was born.

Michel de Nostredame, depending on the source, was born on December 14 or 21, 1503 and died on July 2, 1566. His name is usually Latinized as Nostradamus. He was a French physician and reputed seer who published collections of twilight language-filled prophecies that have since become widely famous, or infamous.

On the 18th of July 2016, BuzzFeed published one of many articles on Donald Trump. This one was a little different than most. It was entitled, "Don't Freak Out, But People Are Saying Nostradamus Predicted Donald Trump."

Did this seemingly semi-humorous and semi-serious BuzzFeed contribution foresee some bumps in the road for Trump - after he was elected?

MSNBC's Rachel Maddow broke a Newsweek story by Kurt Eichenwald on the evening of December 12, 2016, that Donald Trump may have been placed in a compromising position by Turkey.

Here are a few visuals of that insightful story.

And even Boeing, Trump, and Turkey has been brought into the mix.

It is merely wild speculation that Donald Trump is the Anti-Christ, but it is part of the background noise that points to a link to the Nostradamus thread. Fake news, real news, post-truth news, crazy news. It appears reflective of this strange political year.

BuzzFeed, remember, back in July, made the link between Trump, Nostradamus, and Byzantium. With Byzantium and Turkey.

What of all this business about Russia and Trump? Nostradamus may have spoken to that too, not in terms of Trump being the "red" one but perhaps as "red Russia" dawning again?

Does Nostradamus see more? Or is all of this foolishness?

Stay tuned. We are not going anywhere, and we all will be watching.

Pondering the Ghost Ship Fire

On December 2, 2016, a tragic fire occurred at a site in Oakland, California, known simply as "Ghost Ship."

The death toll was first reported to be 9, then 24, 30, 33, and finally 36. The numbers were always reported in multiples of three, for some strange reason.

On December 2, 2016, at approximately 11:30 p.m. PST, a fire broke out in a warehouse, known as Ghost Ship, that was converted into an artist collective and into unpermitted dwelling units in the Fruitvale neighborhood of Oakland, California. At the time of the fire, the warehouse was hosting a concert without a permit promoted by the house music record label 100% Silk.
A total of 36 people were killed in the fire, the deadliest in the history of Oakland. It was also the deadliest building fire in the United States since The Station nightclub fire in 2003, the deadliest in California since the 1906 San Francisco earthquake and the deadliest mass-casualty event in Oakland since the 1989 Loma Prieta earthquake....
The 10,000-square-foot (930 m2) (160 by 48 feet, or 49 m × 15 m) converted warehouse, known as Ghost Ship, was home to an artist collective known as Satya Yuga*, which worked there. At the time of the fire it was hosting a concert promoted by the house music record label 100% Silk, and featuring musicians from its roster. It took five hours for 52 firefighters, using 14 pieces of equipment, to extinguish the blaze. Source.

Yuga in Hinduism is an epoch or era within a four age cycle. A complete Yuga starts with the *Satya Yuga, via Treta Yuga and Dvapara Yuga into a Kali Yuga. Our present time is a Kali Yuga, which started at 3102 BCE with the end of the Mahabharata war.

As of December 11, 2016, all 36 victims had been identified. Seventeen-year-old Draven McGill, who sang in the Pacific Boychoir, was the youngest fatality of the fire. The identities of all 36 people who died in the December 2, 2016 fire at a converted warehouse in Oakland known as the Ghost Ship have been released. They are:

Some have thought of this as a blood sacrifice.

This is surely an event that is "hiding in plain sight" with its twilight language.

The building that burned is known as the "Oakland Ghostship"

Looking at many photographs of the inside gives a riddle within a maze. And the maze so on the minds of those following the Westworld drama was not far from these events. "To Hell and Back" (by fire) and "Die Well" ring out from that series.

" . . . while as many as 100 people were inside for a performance by the Golden Donna 100 Percent Silk touring electronic dance music show."

Golden Donna is an obvious word play on "Golden Dawn"

Modern coinage of Donna used as a feminine form of Donald (world ruler) or as a borrowing from the Italian donna (lady).

If one had to select a quote that would aptly sum up the "Occult David Bowie," it would probably be this one:

“I’m closer to the Golden Dawn
Immersed in Crowley’s uniform
I’m not a prophet or a stoneage man
Just a mortal with potential of a superman”
– Quicksand

The media spin game has turned the Ghost Ship's collective of artists, gays, lesbians, and trans folks into the focus to blame. But that appears misplaced.

The East Bay Times has done their own brief profile of Almena, taking out of context a few things he said on Facebook in recent months, including calling himself "the thriller love child of Manson, Pol Pot and Hitler." Referring apparently to past drug use and mandatory drug testing because of the CPS situation, Almena wrote, "Addictions never admitted armed me as revolutionary… as long as i seek help and healing, have current registration, pay my insurance, piss in a cup twice weekly … i can proverbally (sic) get away with murder."
A former neighbor described Almena in the last decade as having "a way about him like he was founding a new religion." Source.

Almena's "get away with murder" quote was similar to candidate Donald Trump's January 2016 statement in Iowa: “I could stand in the middle of Fifth Avenue and shoot somebody and I wouldn’t lose any voters."

Trump then said on September 9, 2016, of Hillary Clinton, that she "is so protected right now, she could walk into this arena right now and shoot somebody with 20,000 people watching––right smack in the middle of the heart––and she wouldn’t be prosecuted.”

The Ghost Ship fire fades from the public's consciousness quickly as the age of social media moves to other tragedies and melodramas.

H/T to Steve and Tom.

Pizzagate Shooting

On Sunday, December 5, 2016, Edgar Maddison Welch, 28 of Salisbury, North Carolina, walked into the front door of Comet Ping Pong and pointed a firearm in the direction of a restaurant employee.

Maddison is an unusual name. Maddison is an elaborate respelling of Madison. As a given name, Madison originated as the transferred use of a surname. The surname is derived from maternal ancestors and comes from the medieval female given name Madde, which was a short form of Maud. From English, the meaning of the name Madison is derived from Matthew, "gift of God'," or from Matilda "strong fighter." (James Madison Jr. was the fourth President of the United States, from 1809 to 1817.)

Comet Ping Pong has been associated with the Pizzagate story.

In early November 2016, several fake news websites and online forums falsely implicated the restaurant and various Democratic Party figures as part of a fake child trafficking ring, which was dubbed "pizzagate" in some circles. This fake story was debunked by the Metropolitan Police Department of the District of Columbia, fact-checking website Snopes and The New York Times, among others. The restaurant's owners and staff were harassed, threatened on social media websites, and given negative Yelp reviews. After continued harassment, Comet Ping Pong increased the security for concerts held inside its premises. Source.

Sunday's event was a realtime drama allegedly caused by a fake news story. Various pro-Pizzagate sites are saying this incident, however, is a "false flag" incident so everyone will think that the conspiracy story is "nuts."

Welch said he was investigating a conspiracy theory about Hillary Clinton running a child sex ring out of a pizza place fired an assault rifle inside the Washington, D.C., restaurant on Sunday injuring no one.

The employee was able to flee and notify police. Welch then fired the gun into the floor. Police responded and arrested Welch without incident. They recovered an "assault rifle," Brown said. Welch was charged with assault with a dangerous weapon.

Welch has appeared on social media with an assault weapon.

Two firearms were recovered inside the restaurant and an additional weapon was recovered from the suspect's vehicle, police said in a statement on Sunday evening.

Welch told police he'd come to the restaurant to "self-investigate" the fictitious online conspiracy theory that spread online during Clinton's run for the White House, the police statement said.

The Comet Ping Pong is in a neighborhood of well-tended private homes and apartment buildings on leafy streets that lead to a mix of shops, restaurants and the Politics and Prose book store. The restaurant gained notoriety during the presidential campaign after fake news stories stated that Hillary Clinton and her campaign chief ran a child sex ring out of the restaurant, The New York Times and other news organizations have reported.

The Comet, its owner, staff and nearby businesses were caught up in an onslaught of conspiracy theories and fake news during the often contentious presidential campaign and were the victims social media attacks and death threats, the Post reported.

James Alefantis, owner of Comet Ping Pong, released a statement late Sunday night that denied what he called the “malicious and utterly false accusations” and said the company hoped to resume normal operations within a few days.

“I hope that those involved in fanning these flames will take a moment to contemplate what happened here today, and stop promoting these falsehoods right away,” Alefantis said in the statement widely distributed by the media.

Social media's visuals tagged to "Pizzagate" have been ongoing since November 2016. That "fake news" would inspire "real news" in such a matter may be a first.

Synchromystic Howard Hughes

by Loren Coleman, 11.28.2016.

Howard Hughes has been portrayed by several actors.

Howard Hughes testifying before Senate Hearings, August 6, 1947.

Here's a synchocinematic overview.

Jimmy Dean as Willard Whyte, as inspired by Howard Hughes, in Diamonds Are Forever (1971). For a deeper look by Kenn Thomas & David Hatcher Childress at these coded "gemstones" behind the "diamonds" in the movie's title, see here.

Tommy Lee Jones as The Amazing Howard Hughes (TV Movie 1977).

Jason Robards as Howard Hughes in Melvin and Howard (1980).

Dean Stockwell as Howard Hughes in Tucker: The Man and His Dream (1988).

Terry O'Quinn as Howard Hughes in The Rocketeer (1991).

Leonardo DiCaprio as Howard Hughes in The Aviator (2004).

Various individuals state Iron Man's Tony Stark character's father Howard may be inspired by Howard Hughes. Others feel the role might be inspired by Jack Parsons. Tony Stark is also tied to Hughes. Stan Lee has noted that Tony, who shared several of Hughes' traits himself, was based on Hughes. It can get confusing.

Robert Downey, Jr. was cast as the title character, Tony Stark, in the Iron Man (beginning in 2008) franchise. Some saw Tony Stark as being inspired by Howard Hughes. But is Hughes more correctly tied to the Howard Stark character?
