MONOLITH(IS IT)
Part 3
Let's us now move on to summarise what we have looked at in Part 1 and Part 2 of this post (if you have not read these already, please do so)
- Michael Jackson in his lifetime displayed many traits indicative of someone suffering from DID / MPD.
- Much of the imagery and symbology that was associated with him further supports this notion, as well as suggesting he was the victim of Trauma Based Mind Control.
- He believed he was Peter Pan, the boy who could never grow up, and lived in a fantasy world 'of his own making' (I would argue that this was of others' making) in Neverland Ranch, designed to symbolise the 'fantasy island' of Neverland from Peter Pan.
- Peter Pan is a representation of The Green Man, who in turn is a representation of Osiris, or Oz. Peter Pan is related to the young 'god' who dies and is reborn, as well as to Mercury/Hermes / the psychopomp or messenger of the gods who moves freely between the divine and human realms. He is also related to the 'goat-god' Pan, from which our depiction of the devil, is ultimately derived.
- Michael Jackson can in many ways be thought of as 'The Boy From Oz'. He appeared in 'The Wiz' as a 'brainless' (as he would be buried in real life) scarecrow, in a state of bondage / slavery and 'crucified', tying in again with the dying / rising 'god' theme.
- Not only did Jackson have a close affinity with Peter Pan, but he also felt a similar affinity with E.T, believing they both possessed a 'super power' which enabled them to 'lift off and fly' whenever they wanted 'to get away from things on Earth', an apt description of the process of dissociating from trauma. Jackson is frequently 'connected' to extraterrestrial imagery and themes.
- Jackson was entwined with Disney and the Masonic imagery that seems central to Disney productions. By the end of his life he was involved with Kenny Ortega, someone well versed in choreographing ceremonies steeped in occult imagery; heavily connected with Disney; responsible for choreographing large events for other singers / actresses connected with themes relating to MPD / DID / Trauma Based Mind Control. The large events that he has 'choreographed' resonate with the the dying / rising 'god' motif: the 911 event / terrorist attacks, as well as aborted / disastrous 'launches' and crashes (TWA 800 / Challenger)
So with all that in mind, let us turn to the 'This Is It' tour:
On the 5th of March 2009, at the O2 (read: Oz) arena, formerly known as the 'Millennium Dome', Michael Jackson announced to the world that he would play a series of 10 London concerts before retiring from public performance, billed as the 'This Is It' tour. During this press conference, Jackson (speaking in a markedly different, much mature voice than at his usual public appearances) said "When I say this is it, it really mean this is it", adding that it was to be his "final curtain call" (a 'curtain call' is defined as 'an appearance by actors or performers at the end of the concert or play in order to acknowledge the applause of the audience'.) Tickets sold out in less than an hour and the public demand resulted in 40 more concerts to be added, resulting in 50 concerts being planned in total.
Many have observed the word 'Isis', hidden in plain sight in the title: 'This Is It'. Isis was the consort and sister of Osiris (Oz) and gave birth to the 'divine' child Horus in Ancient Egyptian mythology. The most infamous, 'coded' use of the word came on August the 17th 1998, when Then-President Bill Clinton was facing possible impeachment. It was put to him:
"The statement that there was 'no sex of any kind in any manner, shape or form, with
President Clinton,' was an utterly false statement. Is that correct?"
To which Clinton, who's nickname was 'Big Dog' (connecting to Canis Major, or the dog-star Sirius, synonymous with Isis-see below) replied:
"It all depends on what the meaning of the word 'is' is."
You'll find a great post on this here if your interested: http://secretsun3.blogspot.com/2010/02/big-dog-and-meaning-of-is-is-isis.html
Clinton made this statement on the same day that 3D extravaganza Captain EO, talked about in Part 1, had its last public showing at Disneyland Park, Paris - Paris being a city that is dedicated to the 'goddess' Isis. Intriguingly, due to popular demand since Jackson's alleged death, the attraction reopened on February the 23rd, 2010, the same day that it was announced that new close-ups of Saturn’s icy moon Enceladus, released by NASA, provided fresh evidence that the moon’s interior may be hospitable to life, specifically showing 30 small jets of water vapor and water ice spewing from the southern hemisphere of Enceladus (http://www.sciencenews.org/view/generic/id/56573/title/Saturn_moon_could_be_hospitable_to_life). These kind of aquatic, outer-space stories will be talked about again later.
Now, as we all know, due to Jackson's reported death, the 'This Is It' tour was aborted. But before we move onto look at those events, let us take a look at other events that took place on the 5th of March 2009, the day that the 'This Is It' tour was 'unveiled':
Perhaps the most notable story to occur on the 5th of March, outside of Jackson's announcement, was the "Release of the 'Blue Star'", an Egyptian cargo ship hijacked by Somali pirates two months earlier. The ship was released with all of its crew on March 5 after a one million dollar ransom was rumoured to have been paid, eventually returning to the Egyptian port of Alexandria.
The fact the ship in question had the name 'blue star' is significant, as there is an ancient Hopi Indian prophecy which states, "When the Blue Star Kachina makes its appearance in the heavens, the Fifth World will emerge". This will be the 'Day of Purification' and the Fifth World will emerge when the 'Blue Star dances in the plaza and removes his mask.' The Blue Star Kachina is the Hopi name for the star Sirius, which represents Isis. The prophecy therefore seems to indicate that the Fifth World will remerge then when Isis is unveiled.
Robert Bauval, in 'Secret Chamber', writes of Sirius:
"Throughout recorded history, and probably long before, Sirius was the subject of much veneration and myth making throughout the world. Even as late as the 1970s it became the subject of a very controversial theory linked to extra-terrestrials and the Dogon tribe of Mali published by the scholar and author Robert Temple... Of all the various names and epithets that this star was given, none can match the notoriety of its role in history as the 'Star of Isis'.
Since zearliest times the ancient Egyptian paid particular attention to Sirius, which they identified to the 'soul' of the Goddess Isis...We do not know when exactly Sirius became identified to the goddess Isis, but the idea certainly goes back to the origin of Egyptian culture. It was from the 'womb' of Isis-Sirius that was born the divine child, Horus."
We should perhaps conclude then that the 'release' of the cargo ship 'Blue Star' (symbolically representing Sirius or Isis) on the same day as the 'unveiling' of the 'Th (IS IS) It' tour is significant.
The term 'Blue Star' also features prominently in the Oliver Stone film 'Wall Street', in the form of 'Blue Star Airlines', a fictitious company around whose 'stock' the entire plot of the film revolves. Oliver Stone also directed the film 'World Trade Center' and Wall Street featured Charlie Sheen in a starring role, an actor who is well known for claiming that the World Trade Center attacks were an 'inside job'.
It seems fitting that the 'blue star' that features in Wall Street should be related to an airlines company when we consider the potent connection between 'hijacked' airplanes and the WTC disaster, the cargo ship blue star' of course being similarly 'hijacked'. Those of you who have read the post 'Hanging Out The Windows On The World (Trade Center)' will also remember the picture of the Statue of Liberty, representing Isis, framed in-between the the symbolic pillars of the World Trade Center, as well the second card of the Major Arcana of the Tarot, The High Priestess, again representing Isis, sat between the symbolic pillars of Solomon's Temple, Boaz and Jachin, with a curtain or veil draped behind her guarding the 'Holiest of Holies'.
Some have argued that when the symbolic pillars of the World Trade centre collapsed, the curtain was lifted and Isis was 'unveiled', to to draw on Hopi mythology, perhaps 'unmasked'.
Below is a shot from the film of the Twin Towers from 'Wall Street'. Please note the 'twin suns' in this shot. This is important, as Sirius is famously known as being a binary star (having an 'invisible' companion, Sirius B) and this shot could be a symbolic allusion to the star's 'binary nature', especially as they the suns are seen in concurrence with the twin towers.
Below is a shot from the film of the Twin Towers from 'Wall Street'. Please note the 'twin suns' in this shot. This is important, as Sirius is famously known as being a binary star (having an 'invisible' companion, Sirius B) and this shot could be a symbolic allusion to the star's 'binary nature', especially as they the suns are seen in concurrence with the twin towers.
We may also note, given what we have looked at so far regarding 'multiple personalities', that performers such as Jackson / Cyrus et al, could all be considered binary 'stars', in that they have 'dual natures'.
Further solidifying the connection between the 'blue star' of Sirius / Isis and the World Trade Center, a company called 'Blue Star Media' produced a documentary in 2007 entitled '911 Eyewitness'. http://www.911eyewitness.com/, which the website reports won 'Best Historical Documentary 2007' at the New York International Film and Video Festival. The documentary claims that World Trade Centre buildings 1, 2 (the Twin Towers) and 7 were brought down by controlled demolition - i.e. by explosive devises planted in the building.
Returning to the movie Wall Street, the observant among you will know that a sequel to Wall Street was recently released in theatres. On the 28th of April 2009 it was announced that Oliver Stone would direct the sequel, to be entitled: Money Never Sleeps. On the very same day a Michael Jackson story emerged in the UK newspaper The Daily Mail, as well as other news sources. The Daily Mail article was entitled 'Life is a masquerade for Michael Jackson and his children as they go shopping in fresh disguises'. Excerpts from this article, are shown below:
"Michael Jackson caused a stir in West Hollywood yesterday as he took his three children on a shopping spree.
The eccentric pop star enjoyed a chaotic visit to the Ed Hardy by Christian Audigier store with seven-year-old Prince Michael II (known as Blanket), 11-year-old Paris and 12-year-old Prince Michael in tow.
It was a rare public family outing for the Jackson clan. The star has gone to great lengths to ensure that his children are protected from the media glare and the youngsters' faces have only been pictured once.
Jackson has been locked away in recent months as he rehearses for his 50-night comeback tour at London's O2 arena this summer."
The idea of life being a 'masquerade' for Jackson seems very significant when we consider the suspicions, previously outlined, that Jackson was a victim of Trauma Based Mind Control. 'Masquerade balls' feature in two movies heavily related to the themes of Trauma Based Mind Control, 'Eyes Wide Shut' and 'Labyrinth', tying into the idea of both 'handlers' and 'slaves' / victims having 'dual natures'. I refer you to this excellent article for more on these two films (http://in2worlds.net/mind-control-themes-and-programming-triggers-in-movies.) I remind you also of the Hopi prophecy that the Fifth World will emerge when the 'Blue Star dances in the plaza and removes his mask.'
Lastly in relation to this connection between the Jackson family outing and the announcement regarding Wall Street 2: Money Never Sleeps, it seems pertinent to note that Jackson is reported to have 'pleaded for help to sleep in the days before he died'. Michael Jackson’s nurse told ABC that he pleaded for a dangerous sedative to help him sleep as he was unable to. She reports he begged, "Find me an anesthesiologist, I don't care how much money they want, find me an anesthesiologist to be with me here overnight and give me this IV.'" As noted on the In2worlds website, "sleep deprivation is a known technique within mind control as it makes the mind delirious and pliable."
On a final note on this subject, the canny among you will remember the oil tanker Sirius Star, that received international attention when it was hijacked by Somali pirates on 15 November 2008, becoming the largest ship ever captured by pirates. Sirius Star was released on 9 January 2009, after the payment of a ransom. On the day that the Sirius Star was 'released', an article on the website OneIndia appeared, entitled: 'Michael Jackson's Days Are Numbered' and reported the following:
'Thriller' hitmaker is said to be in the clutches of a genetic disorder. His health is under deterioration as he is victimised by the crippling addiction to painkillers and booze according to Showbizspy.
According to a source "Painkillers and booze have caught up with him. The only way he was able to cope with the stress of sex scandals and his roller-coaster life was to mask the pain with substance abuse".
The same view was shared by another source "But the end result is an addiction that will kill him. His dependency on drugs dates back to when his hair was burned making a Pepsi commercial 25-years-ago. The drugs simply have ravaged him,"
"Another source to Courir Mail said It's tragic. His condition is just so far gone, I'd be surprised if he lasts six months"
Eerily, Jackson did only 'last' 6 months, his alleged 'death' occurring in June 2009.
Now we have examined the role of the 'blue star' let us now look at what else took place on March the 5th 2009, the day that the 'This Is It' tour was 'unveiled'' and the cargo ship 'Blue Star' was 'released'. The following are all space-related.
Firstly, a rocket launch:
"NASA launches Discovery Mission #10 from Cape Canaveral Air Force Station in Florida aboard a Delta II rocket. It is NASA's first mission that could find terrestrial planets -- those one-half to twice the size of the Earth. There is particular interest in planets in the habitable zone of their stars, where liquid water and possibly life might exist." (http://www.newsahead.com/preview/2009/03/05/united-states-5-march-2009-nasa-launches-kepler-mission-on-quest-for-terrestrial-planets/index.php)
Secondly, an announcement about future space-flight:
"NASA orbiter to hunt for source of Martian methane: NASA is setting its sights on launching an orbiter in 2016 that could map methane on Mars and help settle whether the gas has a biological or geological origin." (http://www.newscientist.com/article/dn16710-nasa-orbiter-to-hunt-for-source-of-martian-methane.html)
Thirdly, a moon related story:
"An overview of President Obama's 2010 budget has revealed that NASA is still on track for humans to return to the Moon by 2020, if successful it will see the first humans stepping foot on the lunar surface in over 50 years. NASA is also going ahead with its plan to retire the space shuttles by 2010 and develop a replacement." (http://www.unexplained-mysteries.com/viewnews.php?id=148473)
One will notice, looking at the first two stories, the theme of searching for extra-terrestrial life (remember Jackson's affinity with 'E.T. The Extra-Terrestrial'). We also have a 'moon' story on the same day that our 'Moonwalker' (Jackson) unveils the This Is It (Isis) tour. The comment that 'if successful it will see the first humans stepping foot on the lunar surface in over 50 years' also seems significant, as the This Is It tour was comprised of 50 dates and Jackson was 50 years old. Incidentally the 'replacement' for the space shuttles spoken about in the third article will be the 'Orion' program, Orion being the constellation that the Ancient Egyptians associated with the Osiris.
There were also a number of films that previewed on March 5th (a Thursday) and went on general release the next day. These throw up some interesting synchronicities.
Firstly, 'Explicit Ills', the tagline for which was 'One voice will change the world'. The film follows a range of characters over the course of one eventful summer, two of whom are aspiring artists who fall victim to the temptations of drug abuse. The themes of 'one voice changing the world', an 'eventful summer', and 'falling victim to the temptations of drug abuse', all seem pertinent in relation to Jackson's story.
Other films of note were 'Horsemen' (alluding to the Four Horsemen of The Apocalypse) and 'Phoebe In Wonderland', a film about a little girl with Tourettes syndrome / obsessive anxiety disorder who takes part in a school production of Alice In Wonderland.
The last film to mention here was Watchmen, based on the famous graphic novel. The story is set in an alternate history 1985 at the height of the Cold War between the United States and the Soviet Union, where a group of mostly retired super hero vigilantes investigate an apparent conspiracy against them and uncover that one their own, now a billionaire, wants to unify the United States and the Soviet Union and prevent nuclear war by destroying the world's main cities. In the film, New York City is destroyed. The film prominently features the character Dr Manhattan, formerly Physicist Dr. Jonathan "Jon" Osterman, who is transformed into a blue-skinned god-like being after he is accidentally disintegrated in an "Intrinsic Field Subtractor". Within a few months, his disembodied consciousness manages to reconstruct a physical body for itself, after several earlier attempts. He returns as Dr Manhattan, with 'god-like' powers, including superhuman strength, telekinesis, the ability to teleport himself or others over planetary, and interplanetary distances, control over matter at a subatomic level, near total clairvoyance. Furthermore, he perceives the past, present and future as happening simultaneously. While his military backers market him as a superhero, he grows increasingly disinterested in human affairs, despite his importance in the Cold War, and is unable to connect with others, especially his love interest.
One will note the similarities between the story of Dr Manhattan and Michael Jackson in the attempt to try and 'reconstruct a physical body' (reminding us also of Vader and Bicentennial Man- see part 2), as well the idea of having 'god like powers' - i.e. Jackson's reported 'channelling' by Ortega; the 'super power' Jackson said he possessed which allowed him to 'lift off and fly, 'to get away from things on Earth'; Jackson himself indicating on more than one occasion that he believed he might be psychic. We may also note similarities with between the two in finding it difficult to connect with others and feeling 'different' from them. These ideas also have obvious resonances with the films E.T. and Bicentennial Man looked at in part 2. Dr Manhattan is also famously blue-skinned, reminding us again of the 'blue star' (Bicentennial Man is also 'blue' in the poster shown earlier). Dr Manhattan's story also resonates with the dying / rising 'god' motif.
Now, staying of the March 5 theme, let us examine significant events that have taken place on this date in recent history.
March 5th, 1958 - ''Explorer 2' is launched, but due to a failure in the rocket during launch, the spacecraft does not reach orbit.
March 5th, 1960 – Alister Hardy publicly announces his idea that ape-human divergence may have been due to a coastal phase, giving rise to the 'Aquatic Ape Hypothesis' (AAH) -an alternative explanation of human evolution which theorizes that the common ancestors of modern humans spent a period of time adapting to life in a partially-aquatic environment. The theory is based on differences between humans and great apes, and apparent similarities between humans and some aquatic mammals.
March 5th, 1978 – The Landsat 3 is launched from Vandenberg Air Force Base in California. The Landsat program is the longest running enterprise for acquisition of imagery of Earth from space
March 5th, 1979 – Soviet probes Venera 11, Venera 12 and the American solar satellite Helios II all are hit by "off the scale" gamma ray bursts (flashes of gamma rays associated with extremely energetic explosions in distant galaxies. They are the most luminous electromagnetic events known to occur in the universe) leading to the discovery of soft gamma repeaters.
March 5th, 1979 – America's Voyager 1 spacecraft has its closest approach to Jupiter. The Voyager 1 spacecraft is a robotic space probe of the outer Solar System and beyond, whose original mission was to visit Jupiter and Saturn; and it was the first probe to provide detailed images of the moons of these planets. The most surprising discovery in the Jovian system was the existence of volcanic activity on the moon Io.
March 5th 1982, – The Soviet probe Venera 14 arrives at the planet Venus.
That really is an abundance of space related stores isn't it? We should first of all highlight the planned launch of a rocket, which ultimately failed when the rocket did not reach orbit. Of course on the same date in 2009, Jackson announced his This Is It Tour, which also 'never reached orbit' due to his alleged death. Related to this, we should also note the various Soviet Probes called 'Venera', meaning Venus, who in mythology is synonymous with Isis. We should also note that 'the most surprising discovery made my Voyager 1's exploration of the Jovian system was the existence of volcanic activity on the moon of Io', as Io is again synonymous with Isis in mythology. We should also observe that a journey to Jupiter is central to the plot of 2001: A Space Odyssey. The fourth part of the film 'Jupiter and Beyond' sees Dave Bowman, who's last name resonates with Sirius / Isis (as Sirius is known as the 'bow-star), encountering a monolith in Jupiter space and being ushered through a star-gate to be eventually reborn as a 'star-child'. In the book it is Saturn, not Jupiter which plays this prominent role, but Kubrick had to drop this from the film version and use Jupiter as it was impossible to replicate saturn's rings.
The mention of the film 2001 ties in very nicely with the announcement on March 5th 1960 of an 'alternative explanation of human evolution', positing that humans sent a period of time adapting to life in a 'partially aquatic environment'. Those who have seen the film 2001 will know that this film also alludes to an 'alternative explanation of human evolution', namely that the appearance of a mysterious black monolith appears to trigger human evolution in the first act of the film 'The Dawn of Man' and appears at future makers in the evolution of Man's consciousness. We should note that in his book The Sirius Mystery, Robert Temple presents the hypothesis that the Dogon people of Mali, west Africa, preserve a tradition of contact with intelligent extraterrestrial beings from the Sirius star-system. These beings, who are hypothesized to have taught the arts of civilization to humans, are claimed in the book to have originated the systems of the Pharaohs of Egypt, the mythology of Greek civilization, etc. Temple argued that these extraterrestrial beings were aquatic in nature. It should be noted that Temple was friends with Kubrick and that originally the computer HAL in the film was to have been named "Athena", after the Greek goddess of wisdom (Athena again being synonymous with Isis and therefore Sirius). Intriguingly, this page makes an argument in support of Hardy's 'Aquatic Ape Hypothesis'. It is from the 'Sirius Institute' www.planetpuna.com/siriusa/AQApe.htm.
I also remind you of the launch Discovery 10 on March 5th 2009, the day that the 'This Is It' tour was unveiled (i.e. Isis/ Sirius) to look for 'planets in the habitable zone of their stars, where liquid water and possibly life might exist', as well as the 'release' of the cargo ship 'Blue Star', again connecting Sirius with water.
I now wish you to consider these two pictures in light of the 'alternative explanations of human evolution' we have just explored. One depicts Jackson with his very own 'aquatic ape': 'Bubbles'. The other depicts Jackson with E.T: The Extra-Terrestrial.
'Bubbles' is a common chimpanzee, known for being the one-time pet of American Michael Jackson. He is reported to have adopted the young primate from a Texas research facility in the early 1980s. Bubbles was initially kept at the Jackson family's California home, but was moved to Jackson's Neverland Ranch in 1988. There, he is reported to have slept in a crib in Jackson's bedroom, used the singer's toilet, and eaten candy in the Neverland movie theater. It was revealed in 2003 that Bubbles had matured into an aggressive adult chimp unsuitable as a companion animal and was sent to a California animal sanctuary where he was alleged to have attempted suicide. When the sanctuary closed in 2004, Bubbles was moved to the Center for Great Apes in Wauchula, Florida, where he has been kept for several years.
According to reports, the singer 'taught the chimpanzee how to moonwalk'. I remind you again of the monolith's intervention in 2001: A Space Odyssey, where the appearance of a mysterious black monolith appears to trigger human evolution, ultimately taking man to the moon and beyond - i.e. We might argue that the monolith 'teaches chimps how to moonwalk'.
Jay Weidner comments, in his excellent piece 'Alchemical Kubrick. 2001: The Great Work On Film' (http://www.alchemylab.com/alchemical_kubrick.htm)
"The monolith is a turning point in the history of man. It is directly intervening with our history. It is directing us on a path that it has chosen. Kubrick shows us that we don't have all that much to do with these grand decisions. They are being made elsewhere. By someone else. But who? Is it God? Aliens? A false god? And these interventions are not necessarily majestic, noble and wonderful. Kubrick is clearly showing that this intervention is a descent, in a way, both for the ape and for man."
Before we leave the subject of March 5th I now wish to look at another very significant event to have occurred on this date in history and one which resonates with some of the so tries we looked at in part 2: The crash of BOAC Flight 911.
BOAC Flight 911 (also known as Speedbird 911) was a round-the-world flight operated by British Overseas Airways Corporation. On March 5th 1966, The aircraft disintegrated and crashed near Mount Fuji, Japan shortly after departure from Tokyo International Airport. It was the third fatal passenger airline accident in Tokyo in a month. On February 4, the worst single plane crash in aviation history at the time occurred near the same airport when a Japanese domestic line, plunged into Tokyo Bay while preparing to land. Then, a day before the BOAC disaster, a Canadian Pacific Airlines Douglas DC-8 jet crashed on the runway while landing at the Tokyo International Airport, killing 64 of the 72 persons aboard. Flight 911 had taxied past the still smouldering wreckage of that Douglas DC-8 a short time before its own accident (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/BOAC_Flight_911). Several booked passengers decided to cancel their tickets at the last moment in order to see a ninja demonstration. These passengers were in Japan scouting locations for the fifth James Bond film, You Only Live Twice, an apt title considering they had all just escaped death and so had been given a 'second chance at life'.
Leaving aside flight 911 for a moment, and the obvious resonances this disaster has with the 9/11 event, let us take a look at the movie You Only Live Twice, as it throws up some meaningful synchronicities.
In the film an American Jupiter spacecraft (remember Voyager 1 earlier) is hijacked from orbit by an unidentified spacecraft. A similar fate next befalls a manned Soviet spacecraft. With each country thinking that the other is to blame, the world is thrown to the brink of World War III. The United Kingdom's government, however, believes the spacecraft landed in the Sea of Japan, thus suspecting Japanese involvement. Bond goes on to uncover a conspiracy. He travels secretly to a remote Japanese island in order to find the perpetrators and comes face to face with the head of SPECTRE (SPecial Executive for Counter-intelligence, Terrorism, Revenge and Extortion), a global terrorist organization with its own Island training base. I remind you at this point of the resonances this film has with the plot of Watchmen, set in an alternate history at the height of the Cold War, where a group of retired super hero vigilantes investigate an apparent conspiracy against them and find out that a billionaire wants to unify the United States / Soviet Union and to prevent nuclear war by destroying the world's main cities. This also connects to one of the dropped plot points from 2001: A Space Odyssey, whereby originally the viewer would have seen a number of satellites orbiting the earth, armed nuclear weapon platforms, and to have a voice-over narrator explicitly talk of a nuclear stalemate between the superpowers. When Dave Bowman is reborn as a 'Star Child' at the end of the film it was originally drafted that he would detonate the bombs. It should also be noted that SPECTRE’s island headquarters is located inside an extinct volcano in the film. I remind you here of the discovery in the Jovian system of the existence of volcanic activity on the moon Io (Io synonymous with Isis in mythology).
Another relevant plot point of You Only Live Twice involves a plane crash. En route to Tokyo, a woman flying Bond in a private plane sets off a flare in the plane and parachutes out. As the plane dives out of control, Bond manages to land and escape just before the plane explodes. It curious that those who made You Only Live Twice included a scene which so obviously resonates with what happened to BOAC Flight 911.
The title song to the film You Only Live Twice was performed by Nancy Sinatra. Sinatra was reported to be very nervous while recording the song and claimed she sounded like "Minnie Mouse". The final song apparently uses segments of 25 different takes. A sample from the song was used by British singer Robbie Williams in his hit "Millennium".
It seems significant that a song entitled 'Millennium' is associated with the film You Only Live Twice and therefore also with the BOAC Flight 911 crash and the theme of a 'vast international organisation' orchestrating terrorist events'. This is due to the aforementioned Millennium Hilton in New York City, which stands facing Ground Zero and was designed to 'pay homage' to the Monolith in '2001: A Space Odyssey'.
To remind the reader again, in the film 2001, a mysterious black monolith appears at key markers in human evolution and its presence appears to actually trigger human evolution in the first act of the film 'The Dawn of Man'. Later in the movie it returns to usher man through a Stargate to be reborn as a 'star child'. Many others have observed the deep significance that a building, directly modelled on this monolith, is present at the site of the WTC attacks and literally overlooked them on 9/11, as if this symbolised that an event had taken place that would usher in a new phase of human evolution.
Again, Jay Weidner observes:
"The monolith appears when there are certain magical alignments of the sun, moon and stars. Again this is of a deep alchemical significance. Kubrick is telling us, flat out, that the sun, moon and stars are directing our destiny." http://www.alchemylab.com/alchemical_kubrick.htm
Fittingly, the chorus of the song 'Millennium' contains the lyrics:
"We've got stars directing our fate
And we're praying that it's not too late
'cause we know we're falling from grace
Millennium..."
Once again then, it seems significant that a 'monolith resonator', this time in the form of the song 'Millennium', is associated, by virtue of it's association with You Only Live Twice (which itself resonates with certain aspects of the film 2001), to BOAC flight 911. We should also remember the monolith resonator we looked at earlier, placed at the memorial for the TWA 800 crash, an incident which is connected, by virtue of the timeframe in which it occurred, to the 'terrorist' bombing at Centennial Olympic Park. Finally we should note that the singer of Millennium, Robbie Williams, is a man, who like Charlie Sheen who starred in Wall Street, has openly called into question what the general public have been told about the 9/11 attacks and has stated he believes they were an 'inside job'.
Finally, it may be of interest to those who have read 'Hanging Out The Windows On The World (Trade Center)' that the song 'Millennium' was released on the 7th of September 1998, on the 2 year anniversary of the shooting of Tupac Shakur, who as we saw connects to Will Smith (Willenium / Millennium) and his song 'Girls Ain't Nothing But Trouble', which features another 'monolith-resonator'.
Finally on this subject, we would do well to recall the bizarre unfolding of events at the VMA awards which took place on Michael Jackson's birthday- August the 29 2002. Britney Spears was brought on stage to wish Jackson Happy Birthday and to present him with a cake. She introduced him saying she "considered him the Artist of the Millennium." Jackson is reported to have misunderstood and said, "When I was a little boy growing up in Indiana if someone told me I'd be getting 'the Artist of the Millennium award,' I'd have never believed it".
MTV denied such an award existed and subsequently Jackson became a laughing stock. There is still controversy as to what exactly happened at the time. This article (http://michaeljacksonbeat.blogspot.com/2009/09/did-mtv-conspire-against-michael.html) released on September the 11th 2009, outlines why:
"The days before the VMA’s, there was a controversy mostly covered by fans sites and the blogosphere, as whether or not Michael Jackson was going to make an appearance on the awards. The Michael Jackson Fan Club Website(MJFC).... reported that Michael Jackson was scheduled to make a rare appearance and receive a special award from MTV in his honor. Days after, MTV reported on their website that it was going to present Jackson with "a new, special award", a sure boost to their ratings considering the rarity of a Michael Jackson appearance on national TV. As it turned out, the show averaged more than 11.9 million viewers, making it the most-watched telecast in the awards' history at the time. But, why would MTV knowingly set up Jackson for a public embarrassment? Some insiders speculate that MTV wanted to have some type of event for his coincidental birthday, but Jackson wouldn’t show up unless he was going to receive an important award. All this was around the same time Jackson had a big fallout with his record company; Sony Music. Some think that these two events might’ve been related. Nonetheless, MTV seemed determined to humiliate Jackson and cement their version of history."
Since Jackson's death "MTV for its part is quietly changing their version of the events on that August 29th of 2002. On their website, MTV is currently showing as one of Jackson’s greatest MTV moments, the presentation of the Artist of the Millennium Award, with a picture of Jackson and the award trophy on the podium."
Jackson it seems, the man who 'taught a chimpanzee how to Moonwalk', may also be a monolith resonator...
