I thought for sure #9 would be "Revolution", didn't you? the tower: www.learntarot.com/maj16.htm"Today, America is the Roman Empire, and New York is Rome itself." - John Lennon And of course, Rome fell. If New York (colonial 'New Amsterdam') is "the Empire State", is it the 'Roman Empire' state? "New York acquired its nickname “Empire State” to recognize its vast wealth and variety of resources." *[/b] Well, maybe, but not in this video. It seems the point of this video is that New York represents the "new" Roman Empire, and that the Empire State Building symbolizes that empire, and its inherent arrogance, just as the Tower of Babel represented the arrogance (or ignorance) of the powers-that-were in its time. You see, they thought they'd build a tower to reach to heaven. That way, you see, you wouldn't have to qualify to go to heaven; you could just take the stairs! Implicitly, therefore, the tower represented an affront to God. (You wouldn't need to deal with Him/Her to get to heaven.) For this reason The Tower card in the Tarot deck has come to represent misguided efforts that fail due to inherent flaws. Just as a very tall physical tower couldn't get you to heaven, because that's not a viable way to get there, efforts made by people to acheive power, etc. that are not based in realistic and moral methodology are bound to fail, usually with a terrible crash! So the card also means "rude awakenings" which awaken the "sleeper" to see the truth of what needs to be done to succeed in the aftermath of failure. In any case, this video suggests that we are the modern equivalent of Babylonians and Romans, with an economic system that is based in error, and we have our own "Tower of Babel/Empire State Building" standing as a monument to our blindness and our misguided efforts. Presumably our current "Roman" civilization will fail because it is based on a false premise, and that premise seems to be that we can beat, bully and terrorize our way to have control of the world, rather than work respectfully with others to create the world we'd all like to live in. I hasten to add that "we" is not much you or I, 'blackbirds singing in the darkness' that we are. But we are living in the midst of a civilization run by greedy (insane!) brutes, who will have a rude awakening very soon. I think that's the message of this video. *source: State Names, Seals, Flags, and Symbols by Benjamin F. Shearer, Barbara S. Shearer www.50states.com/bio/nickname4.htm

Watch the Rotten Apple 66,6A again. www.youtube.com/watch?v=OB9qBmiRzBkThe Manson girl with a big smile on her face at 03:47 says, "Helter Skelter will be the last war on the face of the Earth. It will be all the wars that have ever been fought; one on top of the other..." Let's hope not. Still, that RA video seems to be making the point that although Manson and his followers were all twisted, they none-the-less got the message. Look at the image when the news reporter says, "Charles Manson - He was described by his followers as a living Jesus." He not only looks like that, but his earlier interpretation of the prophecies in the Book of Revelation, weird as they were, had some validity in a sense: The Beatles as angels, out of whose mouths came "fire" against the corrupt "Roman" society, for instance. Iamaphoney is accusing Faul of genuinely being the devil, whose message Charlie picked up on, but imo that point of view is a bit myopic. The one who is "coming down fast, but miles above you" could be Faul (personifying satan embodied) being "brought down" by having to live on Earth among mortals (Remember the RA 54 * video where he doesn't know how old people live to be here on Earth?), and bragging that he's "miles above" any mortal intellectually, etc., but it could also be a description of a "Paul" who is miles above us, and is coming down fast (and arriving soon). Rise! Riiiiiise! Not "Rise up in arms" as Manson thought, but "Rise Off the Ground[/color]"! RA 54 9 "50 years or whatever it takes to get old here" * www.youtube.com/watch?v=nJAfaVxWo5g

Where are you getting this? off the ground? Off the Ground: uk.youtube.com/watch?v=wAhDP2ZIobwFaul has been a religious messenger from the start. (So have the Beatles in general.) Whether this is Faul's doing, or Paul's, or Billy Shears', or others un-named (Tavistock, etc.), it can be argued that most Beatle songs can be seen as having a dual nature. They can be seen as advocating drug abuse, immoral behavior, and violent revolution, or they can be seen as promoting peace, love, spirituality and fighting against corruption. "Rise!" can mean "Rise up and engage in a bloody revolution", (as Manson perceived it), or it can mean "Rise above vile behavior, corruption, etc.", or "Rise [raise] your vibrations to a spiritual level", or literally: "Rise off the ground" as Christians expecting 'the Rapture' think will happen. The RA 66,6 shows someone writing "Rise" in blood on the wall as was the case in the Manson murders. I believe this action was inspired by the person saying, "Rise! Riiiiise" in the Beatles' "Revolution 9". And that would represent the 'satanic' interpretation that Iamaphoney is suggesting was programed into the Beatle music by Faul, who IAAP implies was following the magical dictates of Aleister Crowley, and who is, in IAAP's mind, the embodiment of satan himself. But if Faul is 'satan', Paul represents the "good side" of the character. Now as Shakespeare pointed out: ""Some innocents 'scape not the thunderbolt." (Anthoney & Cleopatra, Act ii, Sc.5) All the thunderbolt and lightning clues in the Beatle and Pink Floyd material seem to pertain to Paul. He is the "innocent"; the Fool, while Faul represents the conniving, 'non-innocent'. Paul and Faul represent the two sides of ourselves. The mystery is that we are both. So: We have one Paul. (positive) (yin) We have one Faul. (negative) (yang) One and one is two. But one and one and one is three. And as we all know: " He say: 'One and one and one is three.' Got to be good looking 'cause he's so hard to see"Paul is/was visible enough. Faul is readily viewable. But number three is 'hard to see'. Because he's not physical. He's a spirit, and therefore not visible. Think of Paul and Faul as two sides of a person. You can see if they're being good or evil, but you won't see a person's spirit unless you're psychic or clairevoyant. Yet the person's spirit is who they "really are". We have seen Paul. We have seen Faul. They physically represent the spirit of "Paul" which is not seen, but which is the "real" Paul. So Paul and Faul are a phoney! ;D But what do we see with Faul? He represented ego and competitiveness, wanting to out-do Paul in the Beatles. But if he was "the devil" who "used to be bad", as Iamaphoney has pointed out, his tune has changed somewhat, as is evident in his songs. He makes all kinds of promises in his songs to deliver the goods: (from "C'Mon People") "Well I'm going to, yeah I'm going to Get it right this time. I'm going to, really going to Raise it to the sky. I must admit I may have made a few mistakes, But let's get started, from a party Don't you know how long it takes!
So c'mon people let the fun begin. We've got a future and it's rushing in. Call all the minstrels from the ancient shrine. Pass down the message that it's right this time. Oh yeah.
C'mon people let the world begin. We've got a future and it's charging in.first verse: Well we're going to, yeah we're going to Get it right this time. We're going to, really going to Raise it to the sky. People are ready to forgive a few mistakes But let's get started, form a party Don't you know how long it takes!second verse: "Well I'm trying to, yeah I'm crying to Lay it on the line. We're trying to, really dying to Get it right this time. So many yearning for the way it's gonna be. Believe it when you see it happening to you., You know it's real."This song is very telling. He speaks as a leader who screwed up, but now is confident that he has his act together, and is ready to lead the rest of us to the glorious new world of wonders. My take on this is that he's speaking as satan reformed. No longer the bad guy who led us down the garden path and right out of it, but the one who will now lead us back into Eden. "Follow Me" he says. And how did this 'miracle' happen? He rose above the person he was in RA 54, the being who was arrogantly "miles above" the rest of us peasants, and got in touch with his inner-self, the spirit of who he really was/is: BIII, the spiritual Paul. So Iameye, that's where I was "getting this". Gee Iameye, try to keep your questions simple, won't you? ;D

Bitumen is primarily used for paving roads. Its other uses are for general waterproofing products, including the use of bitumen in the production of roofing felt and for sealing flat roofs. Bitumen is also the prime feed stock for petroleum production from tar sands currently under development in Alberta, Canada. Canada has most of the world's supply of natural bitumen, covering 140,000 square kilometres[1] (an area larger than England), giving it the second largest proven oil reserves in the world. The Athabasca oil sands is the largest bitumen deposit in Canada and the only one accessible to surface mining, although recent technological breakthroughs have resulted in deeper deposits becoming producible by in-situ methods. Because of oil price increases since 2003, upgrading bitumen to synthetic crude oil has become highly profitable, and is projected to account for 80% of Canadian oil production by 2020. In the past, bitumen was used to waterproof boats, and even as a coating for buildings with some additives. The Greek historian Herodotus said hot bitumen was used as mortar in the walls of Babylon. [2] It is also possible that the city of Carthage was easily burnt due to extensive use of bitumen in construction. Vessels for the heating of bitumen or bituminous compounds are usually excluded from public liability insurance policies. Most geologists believe that naturally occurring deposits of bitumen are formed from the remains of ancient, microscopic algae and other once-living things. These organisms died and their remains were deposited in the mud on the bottom of the ocean or lake where they lived. Under the heat and pressure of burial deep in the earth, the remains were transformed into materials such as bitumen, kerogen, or petroleum. Bitumens are found also in meteorites, archean rocks, copper, zinc mineralizations, and caves. It is possible that bitumens are primordial material formed during accretion of the earth and reworked by bacteria that consume hydrocarbons. Bitumen was also used in early photographic technology. It was most notably used by French scientist Joseph Nicéphore Niépce in the first picture ever taken. The bitumen used in his experiments were smeared on pewter plates and then exposed to light, thus making a black and white image.If I filled my head with glue Whats it all to you?

Saddam's Tower ohhh Wiki killed two birds with this one! The parallel 33° north is an imaginary circle of latitude that is 33 degrees north of the Earth's equatorial plane. Starting at the prime meridian and heading eastwards, the parallel 33° north passes through: Algeria; Tunisia; Libya; The Mediterranean Sea; Israel; The Golan Heights; Syria; Jordan; Iraq; Iran; Afghanistan; Pakistan; Kashmir (area administered by Pakistan, and area administered by India); India; Disputed area between India and the People's Republic of China; The People's Republic of China (including Tibet); East China Sea; Japan (Nakadori, Kyūshū and Shikoku); The Pacific Ocean; The United States; California (San Clemente Island and mainland); Arizona; New Mexico; Texas; Arkansas / Louisiana (see below); Mississippi; Alabama; Georgia; South Carolina; The Atlantic Ocean; Portugal (Porto Santo Island, Madeira); Morocco. The parallel is notable for being the northern boundary of airspace controlled by Operation Southern Watch after the 1991 Gulf War and before the 2003 Invasion of Iraq. It also forms the common border between Arkansas in the north and Louisiana on the south. The Louisiana Territory was that part of the 1803 Louisiana Purchase which lay north of the 33rd parallel. The 33rd Parallel is part of the horse latitudes. 33 33 N Parallel runs through many, many interesting places. One such of interest is Florence, AZ located right on the Pineal Pioneer HWY and just a wee bit from Vail and you guessed it, Tucson, AZ what's there? who knows? In 1892, the Casa Grande Ruins became the first archaeological site in the USA to be protected as a National Monument. It is believed that the Casa Grande was a kind of astronomical observatory as the four walls face the points of the compass, and some of the windows are aligned to the positions of the sun and moon at specific times. There are several other ruins in the complex, some of which has not yet been excavated. I wonder why..... also in Florence: The Florence Military Reservation, whatever that is. Picture Rocks Aura Valley (gold , aura: LOL BTW Saturn Aura, an automobile) Oro Valley Flowing Wells Mineral Mountain Arizona, the whole state has confidence! And Groovy flags(taff)

Well while we wait for perhaps an non-edible answer, TI? ..........Here's the Ultimate Wild Theory: music box cylinders to disc The phonograph was conceived by Thomas Edison on 18 July 1877 for recording telephone messages, his first test using waxed paper. In early production versions the recordings were done on the outside surface of a strip of tinfoil wrapped around a rotating metal cylinder. By the 1880s wax cylinders were mass marketed. These had sound recordings in the grooves on the outside of hollow cylinders of slightly soft wax. These cylinders could easily be removed and replaced on the mandrel of the machine which played them. Early cylinder records would commonly wear out after they were played a few dozen times. The buyer could then either bring the worn cylinders back to the dealer to be traded in as partial credit for purchase of new recordings, or have their surface shaved smooth so new recordings could be made on them. In 1890 Charles Tainter patented the use of hard carnauba wax as a replacement for the common mixture of paraffin and beeswax used on phonograph cylinders. The piano roll was the first medium which could be produced and copied industrially and made it possible to provide the customer fast and easy with actual music. A piano roll is a roll of paper with perforations (holes) punched in it. The position and length of the perforation determines the note played on the piano. The piano roll moves over a device known as the 'tracker bar', which first had 58 holes, was expanded to 65 and then was upgraded to 88 holes (generally, one for each piano key). When a perforation passes over the hole, the note sounds. 88 keys, 88 constellations, swimming pools and movie stars...... sorry revolver Egyptian Musical Instruments? On gold T's? or what? Above are two sistrums, rhythmical music instruments which made sound when shaking them.
We find sistrums in many Egyptian relief's, and often in connection with the goddess Hathor. Her priestesses most often held a sistrum, and many sistrums also had the head of Hathor on top of the sistrum handle. In Egyptian mythology, Hathor (Egyptian for house of Horus) was originally a personification of the Milky Way, which was seen as the milk that flowed from the udders of a heavenly cow. Hathor was an ancient goddess, and was worshipped as a cow-deity from at least 2700 BC,[1] during the second dynasty. Her worship by the Egyptians goes back earlier however, possibly, even by the Scorpion King who ruled during the Protodynastic Period before the dynasties began. His name, Serqet, may refer to the goddess Serket. The two figures flanking the top of both sides of the Narmer Palette are interpreted as images of the cow goddess. The palette is among the earliest carved religious images known from the Egyptian culture. Hathor is referred to as She with Two Faces, which is not yet understood. Speculation about its meaning ranges from it being symbolic of life and afterlife to being the mirror and the face seen in it, but no clarification of this religious euphemism for the deity has arisen. The name Hathor refers to the encirclement by her, in the form of the Milky Way, of the night sky and consequently of the god of the sky, Horus who was said to be her son. Later she was described as the wife of Ra, the creator whose own cosmic birth was formalised in the Ogdoad cosmogeny after his worship arose and displaced that of Horus. At that time images of Ra bear the eye motif. An alternate name for Hathor, which persisted for 3,000 years, was Mehturt (also spelt Mehurt, Mehet-Weret, and Mehet-uret), meaning 'great flood, a direct reference to her being the milky way.[citation needed] Hathor as a cow, wearing her necklace and showing her sacred eye - Papyrus of Ani The Milky Way was seen as a waterway in the heavens, sailed upon by both the sun deity and the king, leading the ancient Egyptians to describe it as The Nile in the Sky. Due to this, and the name mehturt, she was identified as responsible for the yearly inundation of the Nile. Another consequence of this name is that she was seen as a herald of imminent birth, as when the amniotic sac breaks and floods its waters, it is a medical indicator that the child is due to be born extremely soon. Another interpretation of the Milky Way was that it was the primal snake, Wadjet, the protector of Egypt who was closely associated with Hathor and other early deities among the various aspects of the great mother goddess, including Mut and Naunet. Hathor also was favoured as a protector in desert regions (see Serabit el-Khadim). www.egyptmyway.com/photo/egyptian_museum1_21.html so the death bed impales the deceased, the stylus Eventually, Hathor's identity as a cow, meant that she became identified with another ancient cow-goddess of fertility, Bat. It still remains an unanswered question amongst Egyptologists as to why Bat survived as an independent goddess for so long. Bat was, in some respects, connected to the Ba, an aspect of the soul, and so Hathor gained an association with the afterlife. It was said that, with her motherly character, Hathor greeted the souls of the dead in Duat, and proffered them with refreshments of food and drink. She also was described sometimes as mistress of the acropolis. The assimilation of Bat, who was associated with the sistrum, a musical instrument, brought with it an association with music. In this later form, Hathor's cult became centred in Dendera in Upper Egypt and it was led by priestesses and priests who also were dancers, singers, and other entertainers.

Your mother left you when you were small, But you're gonna wish You wasn't born at all. Steel and glass Steel and glass Your phone don't ring. No one answers your call. How does it feel to be off the wall? Your mouthpiece squawks (mouthpiece = Faul)as he spreads your lies, But you can't pull strings, if your hands Are tied. Your teeth are clean, but your mind Is capped. You leave your smell like an alley cat Steel and glass Steel and glass There you stand with Your toilet scent And your mickey duck {Disney tie-in}And your donald fuck {he works for Disney}**Your daddy left when you were small, But you're gonna wish You wasn't born at all. Steel and glass Steel and glass Steel and glass ---------------------------- **and from Bowie's "Life on Mars": "It's on Amerika's tortured brow That Mickey Mouse has grown up a cow. Now the workers have struck for fame, 'Cause Lennon's on sale again." The suggestion here is that the Beatles had been sold to Disney by Paul! (Or possibly Faul)A Disney actor could strike out for fame in the role of John, if the real John were to leave the group. Perhaps Faul was an actor hired by Disney, to take the role of Paul. (Bowie's song suggests John may have been threatening to leave, [and did], but clearly the "Steel and Glass" song is written by him, ranting against Paul.) The Steel and Glass (suggesting a sky-scraper, and, therefore, the corporate world) is apparently describing Paul, now in a high-rise office, having sold out "The Beatles", and babbling like a New York or LA entreprenuer, and wearing cologne. His phone doesn't ring, and no one calls meaning the real Beatles won't return his calls because he's sold them out, and they're mad at him, and won't speak to him. This is a stunning idea to me. It would mean that the Beatles from Sgt. Pepper on were unwillingly or unwittingly beholden to Paul and Disney. "Honey Pie" (who went to Hollywood) "You are driving me crazy!" Remember: He told David Frost he wanted to retire. Seems he did; working for Disney. Writing 'Beatle' songs. And being a female actress. ("A pretty face may last a year or two" in "How Do You Sleep?") But ultimately this all goes much deeper! www.lyricscrawler.com/song/119451.html ------------------------------------------------------- Wasn't iamaphoney from Amsterdam?

"Steel and Glass" could be about someone other than Paul, I suppose, but my inclination is to think that it is absolutely about Paul, and "Have You Seen the Little Piggies?" could be a dig at Paul and whoever else sold the Beatles out. Got to be good looking cause he's so hard to see. Have you seen (him) the little piggie?

JOHN DAMASCENE ON DRAGONS St. John Damascene's epistle is about dragons. Before citing his words, let us concentrate our attention on the translator's commentary. Two things are immediately evident. First, judging from the lines in italics, Fr. Maxim considers St. John Damascene's scientific views on the issue to be at least archaic. In other words, he definitely considers the accounts of the meetings of people and dinosaurs described by St. John Damascene not to be authentic. Second, Fr. Maxim absolutely rightly frees the Father from any suspicions of the inclination towards "mysticism and search of the mysterious". In fact, St. John Damascene is an author of the greatest intellectual and spiritual power, so it is clear that he is an absolute stranger to any gullibility or fable-telling. Moreover, what the epistle in question has for its direct object is the exposure of fables and superstitions of all sorts. So St. John Damascene was an absolutely reliable witness who, in addition, had in his possession all the scientific knowledge of his epoch. Let us remember, for instance, that quite a good few of his classical book "An Exact Exposition of the Orthodox Faith" is devoted to purely scientific data. The science in those times was descriptive by nature. It did not penetrate into the essence of things but recorded the natural phenomena rather accurately. Thus, if we deal with a well-educated scholar of that epoch, who was also independent of any hoaxes, we have every reason to consider his evidence before trying to judge the extent of its scientific reliability. "Some people contrive", St. John Damascene says, "that dragons can both take the human form and turn into serpents, sometimes small, sometimes huge, differing in body length and size, and sometimes, as was already stated above, having turned into people, start to associate with them, appear to steal women and consort with them; so we would ask [those who tell such stories]: how many intelligent natures did God create? And if they do not know the answer, we will respond: two - I mean angels and humans... So He created the two intelligent natures; but if a dragon changes its form while associating with people, becoming at one moment a serpent, at another a man... so it follows with all possible clarity that dragons are intelligent beings exceeding men greatly, which has not [ever] been true, and never will be." "Let them also say who in particular tells about it ? For we trust the teaching of Moses, and, more exactly, the Holy Spirit, having spoken through [the prophet]. This [teaching] reads: And God brought them unto Adam to see what he would call them; and whatsoever [Adam] called every living creature, that was the name thereof (cf. Gen. 2:19). Hence, a dragon was one of the animals (italics mine - Rev. T.). I am not telling you, after all, that there are no dragons; dragons exist but they are serpents borne of other serpents. Being just born and young, they are small; but when they grow up and get mature, they become big and fat so that exceed the other serpents in length and size. It is said they grow up more than thirty cubits; as for their thickness, they get as thick as a big log. Dio the Roman (ab. 155 - ab. 236 - Rev. T.) who wrote the history of Roman empire and republic, reports the following: one day, when Regulus, a Roman consul, was fighting against Carthage, a dragon suddenly crept up and settled behind the wall of the Roman army. The Romans killed it by order of Regulus, excoriated it and sent the hide to the Roman senate. When the dragon's hide, as Dio says, was measured up by order of the senate, it happened to be, amazing, one hundred and twenty feet long, and the thickness was fitting to the length." "There is one more kind of dragons; those have wide head, goldish eyes and horny protuberances on the back of the head. They also have a beard [protruding] out of the throat; this kind of dragons is called "agaphodemons" and it is said they have no faces. This dragon is a sort of beasts, like the rest of the animals, for it has a beard, like a goat, and horn at the back of its head. Its eyes are big and goldish. These dragons can be both big and small. All serpent kinds are poisonous, except dragons, for they do not emit poison." Thus, the main purpose of the ancient author is to persuade his readers that dragons are real leaving creatures and not mythical personages like ghostswww.creationism.org/crimea/engl/al1.htmThe above papal medal of Pope Gregory XIII, designed by L Parm, is dated 1582, marking the year of the Gregorian calendar reform. On the reverse of the medal is a winged dragon / serpent encircling a ram's head. As previously mentioned, the dragon is the biblical symbol of Satan (Rev 12:9). The serpent that is chasing or devouring its tail is called Ouroboros, Uroboros, or Oureboros. The ram's head is also a satanic symbol, and is frequently associated with the Egyptian deities, such as the god Amon (Amoun, Ammun, Ammon), the king of all gods, who was also regarded as the sun god, and Khnum, who created mankind on his potter's wheel from the mud of the Nile. The intended symbolic meaning, however, is undoubtedly that of Aries the Ram, the first sign of the Zodiac, which symbolizes the Vernal / Spring Equinox, and Draco / Drako (or Ouroboros) the serpent depicting a cyclical returning. Pope Gregory XIII had modified the calendar specifically so that the Vernal Equinox would remain relatively constant, on or about March 21st, which is the beginning of the Zodiacal year, when the Sun crosses the Equator and enters the astrological sign of Aries. This had the desired result of returning Easter to the time specified by the Nicene Council (325 A.D.). A second pope, Paolo V (1605-1621) also used a winged dragon on his heraldic shield along with an eagle. In the Vatican Gardens there is a fountain called the Fountain of Towers, bearing the inscription and papal shield of Paolo V, in which the central figure of the fountain is a winged dragon centered in water spouts. Flanking either side of the fountain are fortress like towers topped by sculptures of winged dragons. Because it somewhat resembles an altar, this fountain has also been called the Fountain of the Sacrament, or in Italian, Fontana del Santissimo Sacramento. The spray of water from the dragon's mouth is said to imitate the rays of a sunburst monstrance. fountain of TOWERS, Vatican the young maximus he: " [p. 269] Whatever Roman elements the barbarians and Arians left … [came] under the protection of the Bishop of Rome, who was the chief person there after the Emperor’s disappearance… [p. 270] The Roman Church in this way privily pushed itself into the place of the Roman World-Empire, of which it is the actual continuation; the empire has not perished, but has only undergone a transformation … That is no mere “clever remark,” but the recognition of the true state of the matter historically, and the most appropriate and fruitful way of describing the character of this Church. It still governs the nations … It is a political creation, and as imposing as a World-Empire, because the continuation of the Roman Empire. The Pope, who calls himself “King” and “Pontifex Maximus,” is Caesar’s successor." www.aloha.net/~mikesch/dragon.htm
