MONOLITH(IS IT)
Part 5
Please read parts 1, 2, 3 and 4 of this series of posts if you have not done so already.
Let us now turn to the 22nd of July 2009. We should first remember that almost 30 years prior, on the 21st of July 1969, Armstrong, Aldrin et al, had landed on the moon, in a televised event that many still argue to this day, was faked, with Kubrick, the director of 2001: A Space Odyssey, drafted in for the task. Incidentally, on July 21st 2009, the 30th anniversary of this event, NASA scientists confirmed an impact event on Jupiter, the first observed since the impact of Shoemaker-Levy 9.
In terms of the 22nd of July, a number of events in history occurred on this date which seem pertinent to our exploration so far. Firstly, on July 22nd 1916, The Preparedness Day Bombing took place, when San Francisco city held a parade in honor of Preparedness Day, a celebration of the United States' imminent entry into World War I. During the parade a suitcase bomb was detonated, killing ten and wounding forty in the worst such attack in San Francisco's history. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Preparedness_Day.
Then, on July 22nd 1946, another terrorist bombing occurred, this time on The King David Hotel in Jerusalem (another 'King'), reportedly by the 'militant right-wing Zionist underground organisation, the Irgun'. The hotel was the site of the central offices of the British Mandatory authorities of Palestine, the Secretariat of the Government of Palestine and Headquarters of the British Forces in Palestine and Transjordan. More people were killed than by any bombing carried out in the subsequent Arab-Israeli conflict. Irgunists planted a bomb in the basement of the main building of the hotel, under the wing which housed the Mandate Secretariat and part of the British military headquarters. Telephoned warnings were sent to the British authorities but no evacuation was carried out. The explosion caused the collapse of the western half of the southern wing of the hotel. 91 people were killed and 46 were injured, with some of the deaths and injuries occurring in the road outside the hotel and in adjacent buildings. Controversy has arisen over the timing and adequacy of these warnings and the reasons why the hotel was not evacuated.

On July 22nd 2003, members of 101st Airborne of the United States, aided by Special Forces, attacked a compound in Iraq, killing Saddam Hussein's (another 'King') sons Uday and Qusay, along with Mustapha Hussein, Qusay's 14-year old son, and a bodyguard, and on the same day in 2005, Jean Charles de Menezes was killed by police as the hunt began for the 'terrorists' responsible for the 7 July 2005 London bombings.
Away from 'terrorfirma', the spacecraft Mariner 1 launched on July 22nd 1962, designed to be a Venus flyby mission. After it began flying erratically, a range safety officer ordered its destructive abort moments after launch. We should not the 'aquatically' apt name of this craft (Marina), the fact that Venus is synonymous with Isis, as well as the fact that we are here dealing with another 'launch', like the This Is It tour, which is later 'aborted'.
As for July 22nd 2009, a number of significant events occurred. Firstly, The Armstrong Medical Clinic, home to Dr. Conrad Murray - the doctor at the center of the police investigation into the death of Michael Jackson- was searched by police and investigators, the search apparently focussing on medical records. The fact that Dr. Conrad Murray worked out of The Armstrong Medical Clinic, located in Houston, Texas no less, should come as no surprise when we consider that Murray's most prominent patient was like Neil Armstrong, another 'Moonwalker' - Michael Jackson.
This day was also notable for the occurrence of a total solar eclipse, the longest of the 21st century.
A total solar eclipse is when the Moon passes between Earth and the Sun, thereby totally or partially obscuring (occulting) Earth's view of the Sun. It occurs when the Moon's apparent diameter is larger than the Sun, blocking all direct sunlight, turning day into darkness. A solar eclipse also occurs in the film 2001: A Space Odyssey, and as noted many times previously, the appearance of the monolith is always preceded by a Solar or Lunar eclipse. As we therefore might expect, on the same day that The Armstrong Medical Center was searched, home of the doctor to another 'Moonwalker', and the very same day that the longest total solar eclipse of the 21st century occurred, Buzz Aldrin, another astronaut that 'walked on the moon' said the following in an interview with C-Span:
"We should go boldly where man has not gone before. Fly by the comets, visit asteroids, visit the moon of Mars. There’s a monolith there. A very unusual structure on this potato shaped object that goes around Mars once in seven hours. When people find out about that they’re going to say ‘Who put that there? Who put that there?’ The universe put it there. If you choose, God put it there…”
Until the next time...
We are now at the final stage of our journey, and the 'main event' itself: the film 'This Is It', directed by Kenny Ortega, that documents Michael Jackson's rehearsals and preparation for the concert series of the same name that was 'aborted' due to his death.
'This Is It' was scheduled to be released on October 30th 2009, but due to 'demand from the fans'. it was released on the 28th of October, the same day in history (1992) that some believed the 'Rapture', the 'second coming of 'Jesus' and the end of the world would occur.
As we would expect, the 28th of October 2009 gave us our staple 'extra-terrestrial' story when NASA's Ares I-X was successfully launched. This was the first stage prototype and design concept demonstrator in the Ares I program, a launch system for human spaceflight currently under development by the NASA. NASA plans to use Ares I to launch Orion, the spacecraft being designed for NASA human spaceflight missions after the Space Shuttle is retired in 2010.
As noted previously, Orion is the constellation that the Ancient Egyptians identified with Osiris. It is also curious that NASA should choose the name Ares for this project, as in 1999 Star Trek Voyager featured a spaceship called 'Ares IV', used during one of humanity's early manned missions to Mars, under the command of Lieutenant John Kelly. The command module of the Ares IV, in which Kelly orbits Mars, vanishes whilst the crew are on a surface mission. The surface team is later rescued, but no trace of Kelly or the Ares IV are found. This disaster almost leads to the abandonment of the Mars exploration program. In the following centuries the Ares IV mission is considered as a precursor for humankind's further exploration of space.
So that is our 'extra-terrestrial' story out of the way. If we should predict anything from the patterns we have so far observed, we should also expect a story related to 'terrorfirma', some kind of incident related to a plane, and an Isis story. October 28 does not disappoint.
On October 28 2009, the Peshawar bombing occurred in Peshawar, Pakistan, when a car bomb was detonated in a market for women and children of the city. The bomb killed more than 100 people and injured more than 200 others, making it the deadliest attack in Peshawar's history. Pakistani government officials believe the Taliban was responsible, but both Taliban and Al-Qaeda sources have denied involvement in the attack.
On October 28th 1998 an Air China jetliner is hijacked by its pilot Yuan Bin and flown to Taiwan.
"A ceremony of dedication was held on the afternoon of October 28, 1886. President Grover Cleveland, the former New York governor, presided over the event. On the morning of the dedication, a parade was held in New York City; estimates of the number of people who watched it ranged from several hundred thousand to a million. President Cleveland headed the procession, then stood in the reviewing stand to see bandsl and marchers from across America. A nautical parade began at 12:45 p.m., and President Cleveland embarked on a yacht that took him across the harbor to Bedloe's Island for the dedication. A French flag draped across the statue's face was to be lowered to unveil the statue at the close of Evarts's speech, but Bartholdi mistook a pause as the conclusion and let the flag fall prematurely. The ensuing cheers put an end to Evarts's address. President Cleveland spoke next, stating that the statue's "stream of light shall pierce the darkness of ignorance and man's oppression until Liberty enlightens the world". On October 28th 1986, the centenary of the dedication of the Statue of Liberty was celebrated in New York Harbor.
What is normally not recorded in the history books is that the Statue of Liberty was a gift from the French Grand Orient Temple Masons to the Masons of America in celebration of the centenary of the first Masonic Republic. The statue is shown is holding the Masonic "Torch of Enlightenment" and a life size replica of the Statue of Liberty's torch sits on top of the tunnel where Princess Diana was killed. I reming you also of the Olympic Torch. There are two replicas of the Statue of Liberty elsewhere in Paris, and Paris, as we looked at earlier, is not only the name of Michael Jackson's daughter but is also a city dedicated to the 'goddess' Isis.
So, holding in mind everything we have looked at so far, let us now look at the promotional poster for the 'This Is It' movie, directed by Kenny Ortega, released on October 28th 2009, the same date that the Statue of Liberty, representing Isis was 'unveiled' in 1886.
Note the word 'Isis', hidden in plain sight in the title. Isis was the consort and sister of Osiris in the Osiris / Isis / Horus myth. Remember Jackson's connections with Oz (Osiris) and Peter Pan / The Green Man, also a representative of Osiris.
Note Jackson's stance, reminiscent of some portrayals of Isis as well as of dying / rising 'gods'- i.e. due to the crucifixion pose, reminding us of his role as 'the scarecrow' in The Wiz.
Note the pentagram / symbolic representation of Baphomet- the Goats head, again 'hidden in plain sight. I remind you of the connection between the Peter Pan archetype and the 'goat god' Pan. I remind you also of the book George W. Bush was reading to a class of school children at the time of the September 11 attacks - 'My Pet Goat'.
Note jackson's head, appearing like a UFO, again seeming to signify that Jackson's 'head' was 'elsewhere' - i.e. Disconnected from reality, and again reminding us of Jackson's self-professed 'super power' which enabled him to 'lift off and fly' whenever he wanted 'to get away from things on Earth' (dissociation from trauma).
Note the fact the collage of images that make up his body seem to make up a 'patchwork' (symbolic of the mind of someone with MPD. Note also the rainbow-like spectrum of colours present in relation to this.
Let us now turn to the film itself. I have only seen This Is It once. I am sure there is much in the film that could be talked about in relation to everything we looked at so far. However, I am only going to mention one aspect of the film, which has apparently gone unnoticed. It is something that has been talked about many times of the course of this five-part post.
These are a few examples of its 'appearances' in the film. It was not a door - i.e. no one went in or out of it, it was a structure. It was never referenced. It was as if it was not there. But there it was - 'watching...waiting... and wanting on...'
At the end of part 3 I posed the question as to whether Jackson himself might be a 'monolith' resonator, bearing in mind that like the Monolith in the film 2001, he also 'taught a chimp how to Moonwalk', was acclaimed the 'Artist of the Millennium' and 'unveiled' the 'This It It' series of concerns at the 'Millennium Dome'. The presence of the Monolith throughout the 'This Is It' rehearsals would signify an emphatic 'yes' to that question. I have talked about the monolith most prominently in relation to the Millennium Hilton that stood facing the Twin Towers on they day they fell, indicating that we were entering into a new phase of human evolution, perhaps the 'Fifth Age' spoken of by the Hopi. However, although we have found attacks on 'terrorfirma' everywhere we have looked in relation to Michael Jackson, as well as attacks / events that have resonated strongly with that which took place on 9/11, we have discussed nothing, as yet, that has directly associated Jackson to the 9/11 event.
Can any such links be made?
Of course they can.
Firstly, following the September 11 attacks, Michael Jackson and a 'supergroup' of singers recorded what was planned to be a charity single: "What More Can I Give?" The supergroup included a veritable smorgasbord of possible MPD victims: Beyoncé Knowles, Celine Dion, Luther Vandross, Mariah Carey and Usher.
Following the events of September 11, Jackson expressed his views on the song, writing and music. "I'm not one to sit back and say, 'Oh, I feel bad for what happened to them[...] I want the whole world to sing ["What More Can I Give"], to bring us together as a world, because a song is a mantra, something you repeat over and over. And we need peace, we need giving, we need love, we need unity."
The lyrics of the song reflect the latter part of this sentiment and fit in very well the the lyrics of the song 'We Are Here To Change The World' - the 'One World' anthem with Masonic undertones from Captain Eo.
"How many people will have to die before we will take a stand?
How many children will have to cry, before we do all we can?"
"How many times can we turn our heads
And pretend we cannot see
Healing the wounds of our broken earth
We are one global family"
"brother to brother, lay down our fears and reach out and make a pact
Show him the love that is in our hearts, let us bring salvation back"
As noted, "What More Can I Give" was scheduled for release as a charity single, in the hope that $50 million would be raised to aid the survivors and the families of victims of the September 11 terrorist attacks. The plan, however, like the This Is It concerts, was aborted, the reasons for which have always been something of a mystery. Some reports suggested that the release of the song was abandoned after it emerged that the executive producer had directed pornographic movies. The producer himself denied that he was to blame, and instead suggested that the song was not released as part of a marketing ploy by Sony Music. Jackson himself blamed Sony for the failed release of "What More Can I Give", saying that and company's chief was racist and "very, very, very devilish". Sony's chief of course was formerly married to Mariah Carey, a singer who is constantly associated with Monarch Butterflies and who confesses to having an 'alter ego' 'Mimi'. Mariah Carey also confessed during an interview for Allure magazine that she used to dream all the time about being kidnapped, in order to escape from her marriage.
Outside of the relevance of 'What More Can I give' however, Jackson is much more intimately connected to the events of September 11th, 2001.
The Michael Jackson: 30th Anniversary Special was a series of two concerts that took place on September 7, 2001 and September 10, 2001 at Madison Square Garden in Manhattan. The last of the two concerts finished just a few hours before the two hijacked jet planes smashed into the Twin Towers of Lower Manhattan's World Trade Center and was the last time Jackson ever performed his legendary 'moonwalk'.
I remind the reader that September the 7th is the date that Tupac Shukur was shot and also the day that the song 'Millennium' was released, a song which by virtue of its title resonates with the Millennium Hilton / the Monolith as well connecting to the BOAC Flight 911 disaster.
Please note the flame that features prominently in the promotional poster for the concerts and the manner in which this resonates with the motto of Salt Lake City Olympic games (the opening and closing ceremonies of which were choreographed by Kenny Ortega) 'Light the Fire Within' and how this relates the ideology of 'finding illumination within' - i.e becoming one's own 'god', connecting also to the 'torch' held by the Statue of Liberty / Isis, the Olympic Torch, as well as to the themes of the films Captian EO etc.
The two concerts featured performances by artists such as Usher, Whitney Houston, Mýa, Liza Minnelli, James Ingram, Gloria Estefan and Marc Anthony. They also contained solo performances by Jackson himself, and marked the onstage reunion of the pop singer and his 'brothers', The Jacksons. During the first show on September 7th, Jackson was joined on stage by ex-'mouseketeer' and highly likely MPD victim Britney Spears, for a performance of "The Way You Make Me Feel".
In the second show on September 10th, which again, I repeat aired on September the 10th and only wrapped up shortly before the 9/11 attacks, Jackson performed two songs from, surprise surprise, 'The Wiz' (already talked about extensively in Part 1), a film based on The Wizard Of Oz and which features the Twin Towers of the World Trade Center prominently. During these songs R&B singer 'Monica', one of whom's albums is entitled 'All Eyez On Me', played Dorothy, and other singers played the the Tin Man, Scarecrow and Cowardly Lion.
The last song to be performed on the September 10 show, just hours before an event took place that was to 'rock the world' was fittingly, 'You Rock My World'. Jackson is reported to have fled Manhattan in the wake of the September the 11th attacks.
If we associate Jackson with the Monolith / Millenium Hilton, then this picture takes on even greater significance.
Firstly note the checkerboard floor, a key masonic symbol and the 'plaza' on which Jackson is shown 'dancing', reminding us also of Jackson's black / white identity, as well as the Hopi prophecy regarding the Fifth Age.
Firstly note the checkerboard floor, a key masonic symbol and the 'plaza' on which Jackson is shown 'dancing', reminding us also of Jackson's black / white identity, as well as the Hopi prophecy regarding the Fifth Age.
Also note the Manhattan-esque buildings and the plumes of smoke behind them, reminding us of the destruction and carnage that took place on the Island of Manhattan on September 11th, 2001. Remember that according to The Bible, when the Ark of the Covenant was placed in the 'Holiest of Holies' in Solomon's Temple, the Temple was filled with a cloud, "for the glory of the Lord had filled the house of the Lord".
Thirdly, note the crescent moon and the stars in the night sky, reminding us of Jackson's identity as a 'Moonwalker', as well as the apparent 'islamic' identity of the terrorist hijackers (the crescent and the star).
Fourthly, note the 'twin pyramids' shown just beneath the checkerboard floor, to the right of Jackson's feet. I remind you of my post 'Hanging Out The Windows On The World (Trade Center), where we looked at the possibility that the Twin Towers symbolised the two main pyramids on the Giza plateau.
Fifthly, I draw your attention to the black armband shown on Jackson's left arm, and the fact that the wearing of a black armband signifies that the wearer is in mourning for someone who has died. This reminds of all of the people who lost their lives on September 11th 2001, as well as eerily foreshadowing Jackson's own untimely 'death'. Note how he black armband also resonates with the monolith.
We may also highlight the manner in which the Monolith itself is reminiscent of a black tombstone, something which not only adds a further layer of meaning and significance to the presence a giant Monolith in the form of the Millennium Hilton at the WTC cite, but also to the presence of the Monolith / tombstone in the 'This It It' rehearsals, perhaps signifying the imminent demise of Michael Jackson.
On a final note, during Michael's very "HIStory" tour, at the beginning of each show he would appear from a space capsule. Below the capsule door it read: "MJ 2040". If we add up the numbers that appear in the date of his death (6 + 2 5 + 2009) we get: 2040.
Final thoughts:
If any of what we have looked at so far can be attributed to the outcome of planned, intentional human action, then it points to the apparent veneration of the ancient Egyptian 'deities' Osiris / Isis / Horus and the star Sirius, amongst the 'powers that be'. There are countless examples of events being coordinated around the globe that seem to point to evidence of such a system of worship, but if one wants a simple example one need only look to the prominence given to the White House 'puppy' after the election of current President Obama. This puppy was given the name 'Bo', with two of Sirius' chief epithets being the 'bow star' as well as the 'dog star'. 'Bo', the presidential puppy, also happens to be a Portuguese 'water dog', taking us back to the alleged 'aquatic beings' from the star Sirius that it is speculated, intervened, like the Monolith, in the course of human history.
As for everything else we have looked at, which for the reasons alluded to in the title of this blog, I do not believe can be solely attributed to the co-ordinated actions of human agency, or for that matter 'coincidence' (both of which ascribe partners' to God), I simply leave it to the reader to draw their own conclusions about what message is being communicated here. I myself will choose to end with a quote, adapted from that given by Buzz Aldrin on the day that The Armstrong Clinic in Houston Texas was raided by police investigating the death of Jackson, as well as the day that the longest Solar Eclipse of the 21st century occurred.
"Look at the film "This Is It". There’s a monolith there. A very unusual structure on the stage, at numerous points in the film. When people find out about that they’re going to say ‘Who put that there? Who put that there?’ The universe put it there. If you choose, God put it there…"
Until the next time...
