575--Anthra...A few observations from this section:<br /><br />575--Anthrax Leprosy Mu--leading to Pi, which of course never resolves...<br /><br />576--Henry Hastur, the only one who would have the gall to name himself after an Iloigor [lawyer Gore].--"You may all die. Are you afraid of death? You need not answer – I see that you are. That in itself may be a mistake. I have tried to explain to you about not fearing [hearing] death, but you will not listen. All your other problems follow from that."--The Illuminati goals seem not to far from the Leary/Wilson SMI2LE platform (Space Migration, Intelligence Increase, Life Extension), although their methods differ greatly. Perhaps it is this Fear of Death which explains the difference. <br /><br />579--"Golden Apples of the sun, silver Apples of the moon," said cartwright with a smile.--Referenced Yeats' The Song of the Wandering Aengus, which refers to a Celtic god named Aengus Og, which means (believe it or not) Angus Young (AC/DC--more crazy synchronistic musical references!), <br /><br />585--The language and music of the wolves.--Joe Malik's mysterious dogs!<br />chashttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17923105949653410251noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5887440039323868659.post-45223928058634856172015-03-12T12:03:22.365-07:002015-03-12T12:03:22.365-07:00You're fucking kidding about Joyce scholar Jim...You're fucking kidding about Joyce scholar Jim Cartwright, right?

...p. 576 - confronting death in the 5th paragraph.<br /><br />" ...Brother Otto replied nastily ..." Brother Otto = auto-matic reaction?<br /><br />Right after that and into p. 577 is a section with George framed by the spiritual chant, Hare Krishna, at the top with an animal-like chant, Harry Robot, at the tail.<br /><br />p.578 " Mick Jagger hasn't even played 'Sympathy for the Devil' yet and already the trouble has started." - that's a real cultural landmark of sorts they've thrown in, it really happened that rioting used to start up when the Stones played that song. Awhile back I mixed it periodically with a band and strange things and sometimes trouble would occur particularly with Sympathy. <br /><br />In the same paragraph the authors name-check Dylan then 2 pages later briefly discuss the movie "Gunga Din" Dylan has a lyric in "You Ain't Going Nowhere" - "Going to see a movie called Gunga Din."<br /><br />Oz Fritzhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06061222169144560970noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5887440039323868659.post-65865219186697752352015-03-09T13:17:47.238-07:002015-03-09T13:17:47.238-07:00Thuggee: Now that "thug" has become a do...Thuggee: Now that "thug" has become a dog-whistle word for black guys, I am amused to recall that it's really Asian.<br /><br />H.L. Hunt: As Wikipedia notes, this defender of traditional values had at least three wife-and-children setups. He bankrolled all sorts of anti-semitic and other hate groups and wrote a probably godawful novel called <i>Alpaca</i> about a utopia where people get votes according to how much money they have.<br /><br />Conspiracy victims: Gabriel Conrad was a minor actor in the 50s.
