Under the right conditions of saturated brine and heat, salt rapidly forms within minutes into hollow upside-down pyramid ‘boats’. They must be gently skimmed off the surface before they fill with brine and sink. Industrial pyramid (’flake’) salt, or hopper crystals, is hand-harvested and sold as fleur de sel.
Hopper Growth of Salt Crystals –[2018]– “…We show that the sodium chloride crystals that grow very fast from a highly supersaturated solution form a peculiar form of hopper crystal consisting of a series of connected miniature versions of the original cubic crystal…in [a] cascade… The morphology of such hopper crystals is common to many substances and minerals, such as bismuth, quartz (called skeletal or fenster crystals), gold, calcite, and halite (NaCl)… Sodium chloride is a key factor in many industrial and geological processes, e.g., in the food industry, oil well drilling, CO2 sequestration, erosion of rocks, sodification of soils, and weathering of historical monuments. Equilibrium NaCl crystals are well-known to have a cubic shape because the underlying crystal lattice has a cubic close-packed (CCP) structure; however, both in nature and in laboratory experiments, hopper shapes are often encountered…” https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.goc/pmc/articles/PMC5994728/
And with a little something added, many more kinds of hoppers can be created –look to the right (below) for another form of salt:
The tendency of a crystal type to form varied and repeatable structures from a basic lattice template is called a “habit” :
What Is Crystal Habit?
“Crystal habit is the tendency for specimens of a mineral to repeatedly grow into characteristic shapes. These shapes are influenced by the atomic structure of the mineral, but they can also be influenced by the environment of crystal growth. Regardless of influence, crystal habit shapes can be characteristic of the mineral and displayed by many specimens of that mineral from diverse locations… habit names are often adjectives that help convey the shape of a crystal or a group of crystals. Bladed, cubic, fibrous, granular, prismatic, and radiating are names of crystal habits that quickly convey a generalized geometric appearance.” https://geology.com/minerals/crystal-habit/
Biologist Rupert Sheldrake, in his banned TEDx talk of 2013, expressed some interesting thoughts about habits:
…“In an evolving universe I think a much better idea is the metaphor of habits. I think the habits of nature evolve and the regularities of nature are habitual. This was an idea put forth at the beginning of the 20th century by philosopher C.S. Pearce and…one which I myself have developed into a scientific hypothesis, the hypothesis of Morphic Resonance which is the basis of these evolving habits… Every species has a kind of collective memory. Even crystals do. This theory predicts that if you make a new kind of crystal for the first time, the very first time you make it, it won’t have an existing habit. But once it crystallizes then the next time you make it there’ll be an influence from the first crystals to the second ones all over the world by morphic resonance—it will crystallize a bit easier. The third time there’ll be an influence from the first and second crystals. There is, in fact, good evidence that new compounds get easier to crystallize all around the world, just as this theory would predict. It also predicts that if you you train animals to learn a new trick, for example rats learn a new trick in London, then all around the world rats of the same breed should learn the trick quicker just because rats have learned it [elsewhere] and surprisingly there’s already evidence that this actually happens. And that’s my own hypothesis of Morphic Resonance in a nutshell; Everything depends on evolving habits and not on fixed laws.” https://rumble.com/v3dymyu-the-science-delusion-rupert-sheldrake-banned-tedx-talk.html
The pyramids of Meroe Sudan along the Nile are a good match for the natural varieties of salt hoppers, and even though the large Giza pyramids are ‘too perfect’ by comparison, their angular precision of 52 degrees slope matches English gematria for S-A-L-T (19+1+12+20=52).
Still a wonder…
“The Great Pyramid of Giza is the only Pyramid discovered anywhere on the planet with eight sides… Curiously, this phenomenon is nearly invisible from the ground and can best be appreciated from the air, above the Pyramid but only under proper lighting conditions… [allegedly] at either dawn or sunset on the spring and autumn equinoxes when the sun casts shadows on the Pyramid.” https://curiosmos.com/the-great-pyramid-of-giza-is-the-only-known-eight-sided-pyramid-in-existence/ ; and according to the lore, nobody noticed the indentations until RAF pilot P. Groves overflew the site in 1940.
Geometry alone, however, could tell us that an 8-face square-base pyramid is a common type, suggesting (to me, a non-geometer) at least three modes of measurement; stereographic projection of a sphere on a plane (3D to 2D), octahedral(3D) and octagonal(2D) sectioning, and hypercubes in four-dimensions. In other words, the Great Pyramid is a crystal in space, and as many investigators promote, by measurement, a representation of the Earth.
The properties of Giza, though, attracting me the most these days lay in the likeness to salt ever since I observed the appearance of salts in Covid vaccine sample pictures (see Corona the Crow part Four). I’m wondering if and how the great pyramids might also encode chemical –biochemical—information in their complex metrology. The first space crystals that I heard of, literally grown in space aboard the International Space Station, were hoppers of salt made from the astronauts’ own galley supply.
Thousands of crystal types and maybe tens-of-thousands of space crystal experiments have been made in microgravity. Here’s one composite image of protein and virus crystals brought back to Earth.

NASA is looking for The Perfect Crystal, enlisting select schools at the highschool level to participate in its Perfect Crystal mission.
Among the curious, possibly perfect space crystals is the shape-shifting Tobacco Mosaic Virus (TMV) that produces a variety of shape-shifting offspring. Both a-b samples below are called virtovirus, versions of Satellite TMV spun-off from its mother.
The ‘a’ form is shown twice in the collage from Space Safety mag– and ‘b’ reminds me of The Andromeda Strain and its author, Michael Crichton.
The Andromeda Strain, 1971
Tobacco Mosaic Virus was the first ‘mother’ (solution) ever to be crystallized, winning a 1936 Nobel Prize for its maker Wendall Stanley. It is still said to be the most-studied plant virus in science, and perhaps as Morphic Resonance suggests, evolving.
Because it bears repeating: TMV crystals were grown from conventionally-derived filtrate, the clear liquid end-product from vacuum-pumping a slurry of biological specimens through a porcelain filter. For many decades after the 1890s, “filtrate” and “virus” were synonymous until crystallization took hold and crystals became the new virus and the first nanotechnology, co-evolving with electron microscopes. See “Planting Viruses From Plants” for more TMV story.
In a nutshell, this 29 second video displays the basic growth of perfect crystals in microgravity.
For 3 minutes of your time, see a more sophisticated display of space crystals still suitable for little children. Tell them this is how to make a virus, as Francis Crick said, because “any child can make a virus.”
Unmanned rockets and satellites have been used by the US since the 1960s to grow space crystals, setup as boxed-in automata to be recovered after flight. Details of these projects have been hard to come by but contemporary equivalents are occurring now all over the world. In effect, The Andromeda Strain scenario, referencing Crichton’s 1969 book concerning a crashed satellite and release of its exobiologic content, was plausible in its own time. Crichton, having recently graduated from Harvard Medical with an MD, was then at the Salk Institute in San Diego county on a two-year fellowship (1969-70), “hired” by appearances for his talent writing science fiction—except The Andromeda Strain was his first work of science fiction and first published under his own name. Context within the Salk Institute itself during those two years only adds to the mystery of Crichton’s stay, his phenomenal writer’s success, and future choices of subject matter. Despite his training, Michael Crichton never wanted and never did practice medicine.
The Salk, built atop a bluff overlooking the Pacific on Torrey Pines mesa in La Jolla (‘the Jewel’), was planned in 1958 as a citadel of “metabiology” where raw biologic resources would become transformed into advanced new metamaterials. Joining institutional partnerships on the mesa that included Scripps Oceanographic (under Roger Revelle) and General Atomics (subsid of General Dynamics specializing in nuclear reactors, under Frederic deHoffmann), a new University of California San Diego was built and opened there in 1963, complementing the Life Science/nuclear theme of the consortium. In 1970, Freddy deHoffmann, former assistant to Edward Teller at Los Alamos, joined the board of the Salk and became its longtime president until death by AIDS in 1988. At the hand of Roger Revelle (‘mentor’ to Al Gore Jr.), Scripps can be hailed as the late 1950s birthplace of manmade Global Warming, the climate-change doctrine that Michael Crichton publicly discredited shortly before his untimely death.
CORONA, ARGON, and LANYARD “In its May 2, 1946 report, Preliminary Design for an Experimental World Circling Spaceship, the Douglas Aircraft Corporation examined the potential value of satellites for scientific and military purposes… A little less than nine years later, on March 16, 1955, the Air Force issued General Operational Requirement No. 80, officially establishing a high-level requirement for an advanced reconnaissance satellite [with recoverable cargo]… Over the next five years the U.S. reconnaissance satellite program evolved in a variety of ways. The success of the Soviet Union’s Sputnik I and II satellites in the fall of 1957 provided a spur to all U.S. space programs – as any success could be used in the propaganda war with the Soviet Union. In the case of U.S. reconnaissance programs, Sputnik provided a second incentive…[that] increased the pressure on discovering the extent of Soviet capabilities – something that the sporadic U-2 flights could only do in a limited fashion.10 The Air Force program was first designated the Advanced Reconnaissance System (ARS)…” https://nsarchive2.gwu.edu/NSAEBB/NSAEBB13/
In a Twilight Language-like twist of an old story, announcements about SARS-Corona outbreaks brought to my mind the thought of satellites—not just spacecraft, but viruses too—and the transition from ARS to SARS (as in the 2003 outbreaks) and virus-like satellites to Sputniks. The Corona satellites flew from 1959 until May 1972, ejecting their specious payload for mid-air capture by pilots, a remarkably successful strategy as long as the falling packages could be spotted by the cruising airmen. “The [surveillance] goal of the program was not revealed to the public at the time [and]was presented as a program to orbit large satellites to test satellite subsystems and investigate the communication and environmental aspects of placing humans in space, including carrying biological packages for return to Earth from orbit.” https://nssdc.gsfc.nasa.gov/nmc/spacecraft/display.action?id=1959-002A
Historically “biological packages” on space flights are more matter-of-course than exceptions. Supposedly, it all started with fruit flies: “On a July 9, 1946, suborbital V-2 rocket flight, fruit flies became the first living and sentient organisms to go to space, and on February 20, 1947, fruit flies safely returned from a suborbital space flight…” https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fruit_flies_in_space While I’m interested in who provided the specimens and who received them after, the seemingly relevant questions about space crystals during the Corona missions regards the film. The ‘syn-bio’ qualities of photographic film presented a major challenge to the program, as the official line from CIA notes, causing brittle crystallization and halo (corona) effects on exposed material. One can wonder if ‘Corona’ got its name from more than just the polar, pole-to-pole, orientation of its spaceflights. Eastman-Kodak gets the credit as Corona’s film provider but it’s another company at the highest level of government secrecy that had the goods on 3D stereochemistry: Polaroid.
I wrote about Polaroid on this blog (2012) in a post called Morgification, pursuing the fate of a hydrogel substance called polyvinylpyrrolidone, PVP. Then, as now, the pervasive presence of PVP in the human food supply and other consumables has the alarming potential to cause the horrific outcomes (specimen exudates!) of Morgellon’s. Morgification is the prequel to space crystals. https://jenniferlake.wordpress.com/2012/10/24/morgification/ Likewise is the evil twinBorgification: “Borrowing a Star Trek term for ‘techno-sapiens’, borgification looks to be an interim step for human enhancement ..[but]I don’t think it will last long, like 8-track tape or VHS –“new genes” are coming with compact DNA… Document excerpts below were generated out of a conference held by the National Science Foundation, December 3-4 of 2001: The NBIC report [Nano-Bio-Info-Cogno] http://www.forbiddengate.com/NBIC_report.pdf : ‘The integration and synergy of the four technologies (nano-bio-info-cogno) originate from the nanoscale, where the building blocks of matter are established… Convergence of diverse technologies is based on material unity at the nanoscale and on technology integration from that scale…’ ” https://jenniferlake.wordpress.com/2011/04/07/borgification/
The Borg hypercube was introduced to Star Trek fans on May 6, 1989, coincident with the first tangible space crystal successes published by Science magazine. A follow-on Science article for general readers, published in November 1989, is called “Zero Gravity Produces Weighty Improvements”:
“Protein crystals raised in outer space may be inherently superior to their Earth-bred cousins… [A]stronauts on the space shuttle grew protein crystals that were much larger and provided much better structural data than those grown on Earth under identical conditions… The space-grown crystals are already proving their worth. Since their paper was submitted to Science, several of the researchers have obtained new information about the structures of…proteins… The ultimate goal is to understand how other molecules bind to the protein, information that may aid in designing…compounds…” https://www.science.org/doi/10.1126/science.2814485

“This paper summarizes the history of this international initiative along with a description of some of the flight hardware systems and crystallization results… It is important to note that crystals grown in space represent not only common proteins useful in crystallization studies, such as canavalin and lysozyme, but other very unique macromolecules as well. These include viruses, DNA, numerous pharmaceutical targets, and a variety of membrane proteins. As additional experiments are carried out in the future, one of the most important objectives will be to determine which classes of macromolecules, and which specific members of those classes will obtain the greatest benefit from crystallization in microgravity.” https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC5515504/
—“the most important objectives will be to determine which classes…and which specific members of those classes will obtain the greatest benefit” indeed.
To borg or not to borg…
“The traditional mechanistic view of morphogenesis attempts to explain the formation of organisms in terms of how particles and molecules interact with one another. It also focuses on genes, gene activation and proteins…[but] the mechanistic view doesn’t explain what organizes these components into patterns…encouraging them to continue assembling into yet higher forms… Morphic resonance, on the other hand, is able to explain not only how proteins progressively arrange into higher forms…but also how organisms are greater than the sum of their parts… Taking clues from evidence we will further explore later on in this series, the answer…seems to be that a mysterious creative field—referred to sometimes as the quantum field, zero-point field or source field, and to which we will henceforth refer to as the Field—spontaneously gives rise to these morphic fields. Once they are birthed from the Field, they not only guide the structural formation and activity patterns of various substances and organisms, they are also informed by the various behaviors and environmental patterns of these same substances and organisms… [We] as humans are not only informed by the Field as a whole, but are also somehow informing the Field through our habitual patterns. If this is the case, it would seem that our responsibility to evolve our consciousness cannot be overstated.” https://subtle.energy/morphic-resonance-introduction-biofield-science-part-1/
[disclaimer: use of the phrase “evolve our consciousness” mystifies a normal process of maturation: growing up, gaining insight, discernment, wisdom and ability by experience and self-discipline. A few decades ago the trend in word choice was expanding consciousness, the idea of opening mind to the Field and enlarging one’s perspective. No outcome, value, or moral judgement is implied by either word, only a communicable effect.]
Keeping the emphasis of this post on Life Science technology (biophysics and biochemistry), projects spun from the ISS yielding practical ‘benefits’ as of now concern “protein crystal growth (PCG) experiments on the space station [that are]by far the largest single category of experiments conducted on the orbiting lab. Proteins are involved in every aspect of our lives… One of the best ways to analyze a protein structure is to grow it in crystalline form.” https://www.nasa.gov/missions/station/iss-research/creating-new-and-better-drugs-with-protein-crystal-growth-experiments/#hds-sidebar-nav-1
The textbook Turnip Yellow Mosaic Virus is a crystal shape called a truncated icosahedron, a spherical arrangement of hexamers and pentamers comprising 32 faces, otherwise known as a classic carbon-60 [atoms] fullerene.
“Fullerenes [a.k.a. buckyballs] had been predicted for some time, but only after their accidental synthesis in 1985 were they detected in nature[3][4] and outer space… [Harold] Kroto commented: ‘This most exciting breakthrough provides convincing evidence that the buckyball has, as I long suspected, existed since time immemorial in the dark recesses of our galaxy.’[6] According to astronomer Letizia Stanghellini, ‘It’s possible that buckyballs from outer space provided seeds for life on Earth.’ ” https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fullerene
–incidentally, it’s okay nowadays to call viruses fullerenes: [2019 example paper] “Structural basis for fullerene geometry in a human endogenous retrovirus capsid” www.nature.com/articles/s41467-019-13786-y ; and that goes for carbon nanotubes too– from Britannica: “fullerene, any of a series of hollowcarbon molecules that form either a closed cage (“buckyballs”) or a cylinder (carbon “nanotubes”)… The elongated cousins of buckyballs, carbon nanotubes, were identified in 1991 by Iijima Sumio of Japan… With fullerenes now available in workable amounts, research on these species expanded to a remarkable degree, and the field of fullerene chemistry was born. The C60 molecule undergoes a wide range of novel chemical reactions. It readily accepts and donates electrons, a behaviour that suggests possible applications in batteries and advanced electronic devices. The molecule readily adds atoms of hydrogen and of the [‘salt-forming’] halogen elements. The halogen atoms can be replaced by other groups, such as phenyl (a ring-shaped hydrocarbon with the formula C6H5 that is derived from benzene), thus opening useful routes to a wide range of novel fullerene derivatives… Particularly interesting in fullerene chemistry are the so-called endohedral species, in which [another type of] atom…is physically trapped inside a fullerene cage…” https://www.britannica.com/science/fullerene

University of California professor and space crystal specialist, Alexander McPherson: “Protein crystallization was discovered by chance nearly 200 years ago and was developed in the late nineteenth century as a powerful purification tool, and a demonstration of chemical purity. The crystallization of proteins, nucleic acids, and large biological complexes such as viruses, depends upon the creation of a [‘mother liquor’] solution that is supersaturated in the macromolecule[s]… Supersaturation is produced through the addition of mild precipitating agents such as neutral salts or polymers and by manipulation of various parameters that include temperature, ionic strength and pH. Also important in the crystallization process are factors that can affect the structural state of the macromolecule such as metal ions, inhibitors, cofactors, or other conventional small molecules.” https://link.springer.com/protocol/10.1007/978-1-4939-7000-1_2 ; small molecule ‘seeds’ are conventionally called “atomic clusters” or nanoclusters.
“Protein crystallization has been known since 1840…[when it] stimulated the birth of the biocrystallogenesis field… The new nanotechnologies have brought a significant improvement in the practice of protein crystallization… [but] structural biology projects always become more challenging and thereby require adapted methods to enable the growth of the appropriate crystals, notably macromolecular assemblages.” https://febs.onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/full/10.1111/febs.12580
[“Advanced Biocrystallogenesis” March 2021] “Nowadays, X-ray crystallography is one of the most popular structural biology methods…[and] several advanced methods for macromolecular crystallization have been developed. Crystallization in capillaries, gels, microfluidic chips, electric and magnetic fields as well as crystallization under microgravity…and crystallization in living cells… [The] seeding strategy has been developed as one of the most powerful [methods]… Another benefit is that it reduces the amount of the used protein and saves time needed for the spontaneous nucleation. This is also suitable for…adding new additives or even new precipitants. Several seeding strategies such as macroseeding and microseeding and/or their modifications can be applied… Additionally, the antibodies and nanobodies are used…to reinforce protein crystallization, mainly for membrane protein co-crystallization. Latterly, nanobodies replaced the use of antibodies because…nanobodies are extremely stable and soluble antibody single-domain fragments that stabilize unstructured proteins by binding to them, form crystal contacts and thus speed up crystal growth…[and] enhance the probability of best quality crystal hits… The formation of native protein crystals in living cells [calledincellulo crystallization]…is ideal for proteins that cannot be crystallized applying basic crystallization techniques… Next…are attempts to use crystals in different non-conventional ways. One of them is sending biosubstances…into space to try to crystallize them for finding new uses… The protein crystals can be supposedly thereafter used for long-term storage or…stabilization…by transferring them into solid state.” https://www.intechopen.com/chapters/76140
Solid state long-term storage—hmm?—shipping, biobanking, think of the possibilities!

Using your eyes, do you see that ‘j’ (apoferritin) is the qualitativelyoddball photograph? Text within this 2015 paper, called “Microgravity Protein Crystallization” states that “Macromolecules [meaning proteins], being unique in their properties, both in terms of size and complexity, give rise to crystals that are also unique” and leads me to speculate that the images of virtovirus, apoferritin, and possibly urease are one and the same crystal.
What is apoferritin? — “Apoferritin is a protein commonly present in the intestinal mucosa membrane. The important biological function of apoferritin is its ability to bind and store iron, by combining with a ferric hydroxide-phosphate compound to form ferritin. Apoferritin from horse spleen was the first protein cage studied and used as a template for the synthesis of inorganic nanoparticles. Apoferritin has found extensive use in the synthesis of numerous metallic nanoparticles including Pd2+, Cu2+, Fe2+, Co2+, Cr3+, Ni2+, Mn2+, Cd2+, and Zn2+…” [in use as MRI contrast media] https://www.sciencedirect.com/topics/chemistry/apoferritin; “…Apoferritin, the empty shell of ferritin, can be modified to carry tailored properties exploitable for targeted and direct drug delivery.

“The optical properties of materials are determined by their electronic structure and band gap. The energy gap between the highest occupied molecular orbital and lowest unoccupied molecular orbital (HOMO/LUMO) varies with the size and composition of a nanocluster. Thus, the optical properties of nanoclusters change. Furthermore, the gaps can be modified by coating the nanoclusters with different ligands or surfactants. It is also possible to design nanoclusters with tailored band gaps and thus tailor optical properties by simply tuning the size and coating layer of the nanocluster.” https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC2206983/

“You’ll probably find my research disturbing since it suggests that American parents – you, perhaps – are selling their children into slavery. My understanding of this incredible problem began when my wife and I were accused – by the government – of reading the Bible to our children without training. As ridiculous as that charge sounds, it’s true. Based on that charge, the government took our children and caused us great suffering. In the aftermath, I began to search the laws for the government’s authority to take our children, and here’s part of what I found:
First, according to 28 U.S.C.3002-15, the “United States” is not a “government”; it’s a private corporation and the other fifty “states” (plus Guam, Virgin Island, Washington D.C., etc.) are mere corporate franchises. The “United States” only deals in Commerce and does so under private international law. Second, on April 9th, 1912, the United States Inc. created the Children’s Bureau in the Department of Commerce and Labor to keep track of America’s children. (see, 62nd Congress, Session II. Chap. 73 pages 79-80). This should have sent up a red flag, but it didn’t. Then in 1921, Congress passed the Sheppard-Towner Maternity Act that created the United States birth Registration area (see Public Law 97, 67th Congress, Session 1, Chapter 135, 1921). The Sheppard-Towner act allows parents to register their children when they are born and then receive a copy of the birth certificate. I have a photocopy of an August 6, 1985 letter from the Health Services Agency of the County of Shasta, California, which illustrates the significance and consequences of having (or not having) a birth certificate:
“Dear Ms. R, As I understand it, you gave birth to twin girls on July 30 & 31, 1985 at Mercy Medical Center of Redding, Ca. I also understand from the hospital staff that you did not desire to register the birth of your girls with them at this time. I’m writing to inform you of information you may be unaware of. “According to State regulations, if you do not register your daughters’ birth within the first year of their delivery, they would then have to be registered on the delayed registration of birth form and the cost would be, this time, $15.00. Considering the fact that you delivered in a hospital and had a physician in attendance, this would probably be of no consequence or trouble for you now, but in later years this may be a problem for your daughters. I am sure you are aware of the utmost importance in having a birth certificate as soon as possible. In twenty years, the hospital records could have been destroyed and your physician may not be available to help you or your girls. Consider the fact that in order to be registered for school, apply for a marriage license, grants or scholarships in school, the State of California requires a certified copy of a birth certificate. The Federal government requires a certified copy of a birth certificate when applying for military service, passport, or social security card. [Emph. add.] “When you realize all the times they may need their certificate of birth, you may want to contact me and we’ll arrange to have them taken care of for you. Please contact me if you any questions in this matter. Sincerely, Linda L. Allen, Deputy Registrar, Vital Statistics”
M s. Allen’s letter implies that in 1985 without a birth certificate, you couldn’t attend (or be forced to attend) public schools; couldn’t get (or be forced to get) certain licenses; and couldn’t even apply for a social security card (without a social security card, you can’t pay income taxes). In fact, the relationship established by the birth certificate with government is far deeper than Ms. Allen’s letter implies. Today, when you voluntarily register your children, they become Federal Children and subjects of Congress.
A copy of the birth certificate is sent to the Department of Vital Statistics in the state in which the child was born. The original birth certificate is sent to the Department of Commerce in “New Columbia” (the former District of Columbia) and then your child’s future labor, properties and body are put up as collateral for the public debt. This is the first step in the United States Inc.’s control and custody of your children.
If these assertions seem incredible, ask any parent who’s ever been in a divorce court custody battle if the judge didn’t act as if the state (not the parents) owned the kids. And ask the parents who’ve been threatened with jail for disciplining their children if they, too, don’t sometimes suspect if the government owns their kids. This bizarre suspicion is a lot closer to the truth that almost any American could imagine. Nevertheless, “government’s ownership of America’s children is not secret. There are many court cases which openly declare that our purported government owns virtually all of America’s children. For example, according to Tillman v. Roberts (108 So. 62, 214 Ala. 71): ‘The primary control and custody of infants is with the government.’ According to Nichols v. Nichols (Civ. App., 247 S.W. 2d 143), in its capacity of ‘parens patriae,’ government may assume direction, control, and custody of children, and delegate such authority to whom it may see fit. (See, Ridgeway v. Walter, 133 S.W.2d 748, 281 Ky. 140; Shelton v. Hensley, 299 S.W. 979, 222 Ky 808.)
As a result, government has authority to have “your” children raised and taught whatever government thinks best. As a parent, you have no legal authority over ‘your’ children. Although you may have equitable possession and control over ‘your’ kids, they are the legal property of the state. That’s why government tends to dismiss parents’ complaints about subjects like ‘Outcome-Based Education’. Under 28 U.S.C. 3002-15, complaints to officers of a private international company (the “United States”) about what they’re doing with their property (the kids you thought were ‘yours’) is ludicrous. In fact, most parents no longer have any legal standing to question, challenge or complain about any government Legislation or regulation pertaining to children. And, as ‘property,’ even the children have no rights since only real people owned by no one but themselves or God can have rights.
The people better wake up and study law and procedure, because if they don’t understand the law, they are also wards of the government. We must study law to be responsible for ourselves and our children. In fact, there is much hope and a way out of this mess through the law and procedure taught by the Redeemer of Man (Logos).
[PH:] “I want to take you through some of these egregious measures that are being inflicted on the population in the name of Public Health. If you’re new to my channel, I encourage you to watch my previous videos where I talk about the whole concept of Public Health, which is quite ludicrous to me because there is Public Sanitation and there’s Public Safety but there’s only individual health. I am not responsible for anyone else’s health and they are not responsible for mine. I see this concept of Public Health and public health laws as a massive grab by the government for you –your body; your ability to move, to travel, to work…

MH: “Let’s see…Where to begin when there isn’t a beginning… Twilight Language is a form of communication that eludes most people’s conscious perception, though it is of course perceived by the subconscious. In the 21 century that dichotomy is much less the case, because the initiation of the masses into the civic magic that increasingly appears undisguised has brought the revelation of Twilight Language to the frontiers of the waking mind.
“A yarn is being spun and ‘charmed’ conjugations and interstices are formed, partly from invocation and partly from ‘surfing’ a magnetic attraction that seems to organize anomalies around certain ‘words of power’ and potent symbols…
“We ourselves can generate the phenomena… [but we] should be keenly aware that not everything in the stream is of profound remarkability. Discerning the difference between the actual communication being conveyed by Twilight Language –between [the message] and signal noise—is the difference between a higher state of consciousness and a form of debilitation [akin to]…mental illness.” [p65]
[Q] “Would you say that the ability to perceive these signals or translate this language is not a mental illness?
MH: “Wouldn’t the ability to detect patterns that actually do have significance as Twilight Language be a stepping stone to seeing the operations of the world we inhabit with greater clarity?” [p104]
…“A stated goal of the 1960s and ‘70s psychedelic revolution was ‘Ingest those plants and mushrooms and open the doors of perception.’ But…those doors can swing too far in the other direction…It harkens to a superstitious state of mind that we described in Secret Societies and Psychological Warfare at the dawn of the conversion of the pagan peoples of Europe to Christianity (in cases where that conversion was not forced by state actors like Charlemagne who executed tens of thousands of civilians who happened to be pagans). In the early centuries of its existence, the Christian path was a clean break from minds so immersed in Twilight Language that their every step was fraught with peril or significant meaning which was paralyzing their ability to live, and had to be mediated by a ritual of propitiating the gods with a whole series of superstitious gestures and words. It became a type of madness for which the remedy was the simplicity of the Christian Gospel with its warning that the wicked flee where no one is pursuing them [p66]… We’re in the realm of art. There is no cuneiform tablet for Twilight Language. It functions more like poetry than physics, giving narrative propulsion to the Cryptocracy’s screenplays.”
[Q]”It has no basis in neurology then?”
MH: “Of course it does, just as if we observed the brain moved by a speech from Hamlet or the entrance of his father’s ghost, we would see neural pathways responding. Does the Twilight Language stimulate neurochemical pathways? I would answer in the affirmative… The way Twilight Language has cachet now is based partly on the rise of the invisible world… [We] inhabit a world of invisibles beginning with nuclear physics and the atom… Faith in an invisible world renders us more attuned to Twilight Language and what we have is a much higher sensitivity to magically activated words, what the Pharaonic Egyptians knew as ‘words of power’ acting as a means for imprinting a prefabricated reality—a sibilant whisper of a counterfeit universe—into the mind as part of a process where people volunteer to have their brains wired to the data hive.” [p67].
[Q] “You’re saying that in our video age of Internet, TV and movies we’re less visual?”
MH: “We’re less literate and therefore more susceptible to the processing of our perceived reality through signs, bytes and slogans. Twilight Language sometimes consists in slogans pregnant with archetypal imprinting, giving narrative propulsion to the pattern theater that the Cryptocracy weaves with its ritual murders and other types of spectacular crimes.”[p68]
…“Twilight Language moves the interior world into the exterior. It is virtually synonymous with the dreaming mind because of its archetypal cues and content. The subconscious, which is the supreme memory theater above all, is by Twilight Language propelled outside into the external world, to explosive effect; analogous to atomic physics which begins in a microcosmic nearly invisible world and is forced to manifest in the outer world as a mushroom cloud; the mushroom being a symbol of higher consciousness.”
[Q]”Higher consciousness is considered benevolent.”
MH: “My question would be, from where is this higher consciousness derived, from the presence of life or the presence of immanent death?”
[Q] “From death, but it is still a higher consciousness.”
MH: “Often it’s a consciousness tainted by death. It’s ‘higher’ than the bovine level of consumerism by comparison. But there is a consciousness infinitely higher.” [p70].
[Q] “What about the idea that Twilight Language is just a code?”
MH: “A puzzle? Yes, it can be as seemingly prosaic as that—the ‘hidden in plain sight’ clue…” [p71]

Here’s a 3-minute [2:52] video about it hosted by Alan Martin, the Vice-chair of the Sandy Hook Permanent Memorial Committee which was convened by Newtown in 2013. We seem to be back with the Knights of the Rose Cross (18th degree Scottish Rite) as they pull their trail markers together. The first name shown on the ring fountain is Olivia ‘Rose’ Engel and roses are circulating counterclockwise with the water and primed on the margin wall.

“The appearance of the Sentinel from ‘2001’ at the beginning of the year 2001 and the century it symbolizes (the 21st) marks the symbolic end of the preparatory-processing phase intended to program us into accepting the appearance of the devil himself as our presiding Overlord… The process…culminates in a hermetic game of hazard or ‘chance’ 21… This principle corresponds to…the 2001 gateway to the ’21’ epoch.”–pp15-16, Secret Societies and Psychological Warfare
“The attack on the World Trade Center is represented in the Rider-Waite Tarot cards [published 1910] by the number16 Tower card and the attack on the five-sided Pentagon by the Tarot’s number five of Pentacles. Sixteen plus five equals twenty-one… The number 16…symbolizes the so-called sectio aurea (‘Golden Section’), Golden Ratio or Golden Number, known as Phi (after the 21st letter in the Greek alphabet). Since the early Greeks, a ratio of length to width of approximately 1.6 has been considered the most aesthetically pleasing in the construction of monumental architecture.” –p33, Twilight Language– “The downfall of the tower in the inferno of September 11 (9/11) is the 911 emergency call to the psyche of the Group Mind, unleashing imprisoned energy. A burst of illuminated consciousness was released on 9/11… Every successive Babel is more towering than the previous one, thus does the imposing empire of the Grand Architect ‘build bigger’ from out of the ruins of the old. The only thing not destroyed in the towering inferno is the principle that built it, symbolized by the number 11, which stays the same even when written upside down. This principle is further elaborated in alchemical imagery by the salamander, the legendary creature that paradoxically thrives in fire.”–p34, ibid.

“…the vast majority of those who reside in North America, the British isles, Ireland, Europe, Canada, Australia, and New Zealand, are occult-processed to such an extent that they have the status of occult initiates.”—p30, Twilight Language
*
“In 2001 in Secret Societies and Psychological Warfare we foresaw the ascendance of an American man and woman so heavily processed, neutered and psychologically enthralled that they would be equivalent to masonic initiates. Large swathes of white America are now, in masonic parlance, ‘on the level’ …[In] 2021 these things are in the open and utilized in television commercials… America consists of a population of virtual masonic initiates immersed in the occult. From 2001 to 2021 is a long time in the high speed zone. Much innocence has been lost, while much knowledge of the self-indicting and obligating kind has been acquired. Americans reside in a Twilight Zone daily existence where blatant occult cues and indoctrination are so profuse they’re shrugged off as unremarkable. Attempting to expose what is already in front of our eyes becomes an exercise in ‘camp’ (failed seriousness). The futility serves a clown-like function within the Process itself. We inhabit an open-air occult laboratory… One source of the current state of the process is to be found in relentless false prophesying of ‘The End’…There is something about the nuclear age and the prospect of ‘instant extinction’ that has produced a madness that sets dates, promotes predictions and builds expectations which, when not fulfilled, slowly rot people in mind and spirit…” –pp297-298, ibid.—“they become numb, cynical and exhausted—exactly where the Cryptocracy wants them. Afterward they can’t be roused when a genuine emergency arises. This is the service which some conspiracy theorists provide to the Cryptocracy.”—p300.
“…2021 is aftermath. What this writer presented at the 2001 gateway to the ‘Black Jack’ century 21 seemed like high strangeness at the time. Now it is the ‘new normal’…Furthermore, some of the assaults upon us in the 21st century are not necessarily on our subconscious twilight mind, but on common sense itself: blatant in-your-face lunacy… Information is not power. It is the ability to detect fraud that empowers us… While the scientific consensus is still unclear, it appears that surfing the Internet daily for hours on end interferes with the brain’s ability to read deeply. The great books are not being studied and digested cover to cover as they once were. People have been hoaxed into thinking that ‘almost everything I want to know is online.’ Even if that were true, the act of consuming it online seems to hinder our brain’s capacity for deep thought and analysis. The bellwether is the eerie paralysis setting in… Many…have succumbed to comprising an audience whose raison d’etre is to ‘see what happens next.’ The corroding enchantment of the ‘Society of the Spectacle’ is upon them.” –p302, ibid.
“Americans are immersed in Spectacle… our national profile is that of spectators spellbound by the sight of our own funeral.”–p179.
“The spectacle ‘Possesses all the means necessary to falsify perception; the spectacle is the absolute master of memories, just as it is the unfettered master of plans which will shape the most distant future… Since no one may contradict it, it has the right to contradict itself, to correct its own past… Expressions of hypocritical regret for the passing of real life…and superficial concerns with the technological…developments which accelerate the cycles of…simulation, are voiced in an empty debate conducted by the spectacle itself…’ ” [MH quoting Guy Debord (1931-1994) from Comments on the Society of the Spectacle, 1991, on p340 of Twilight Language]
[Michael Hoffman’s broadcast interview transcript on the subject of James Shelby Downard’s inspiration:]
MH: “Mr. Downard was very concerned with what he called mystical toponomy, and how for example in atomic physics the dictum that time relations among events are assumed to be first constituted by the specific physical relations obtaining between them; I’m giving you their script, that events take place along the same median [or meridian, such as]…parallels of latitude. I mentioned earlier in the broadcast the 33rd degree of north parallel latitude… [JL inserting: the line from Oceanside CA in San Diego County, site of a Rosicrucian temple mount, to the North American Freemasons colonial headquarters in Charleston South Carolina]
“Mr. Downard believed that the human mind was fantastically more powerful than we understand it to be, and that there is an ability of this group mind that I talked about earlier to either generate coincidences or to kind of surf coincidence…especially if [people are] being directed…[as] the group mind… So Mr. Downard speculated that magnification…could actually create patterns…
“In quantum mechanics now, in the farthest reaches of quantum mechanics, what they’re discovering is that there’s a whole field of phenomena that only come into existence when we start paying attention to it. Now, that’s not conspiracy theory –that’s physics. So it’s a study. It’s a study in progress…[And] I can speculate as to an ability or an attempt –maybe a mad attempt—to shepherd coincidence in such a way as it aids this process…in terms of the processing of humanity. We could begin to see a pattern which is not necessarily morbid and is not necessarily controlled by the Cryptocacy that is actually very wonderful and magnificent, and it’s just that some of these criminal psychopaths have seized onto the technology and used it [as] their own means. But it might be that there’s so much more of reality that we’re not seeing in our shuttered little daily day-to-day lives that could be brought out by tracking these coincidences which might serve us very well and might serve the cause of truth itself. I think that it’s unfortunate that very ambitious egotistical people have taken control over phenomena that may very well be neutral.
…“Something that Mr. Downard wanted to study, because he was fascinated by [it, is]why was New Mexico the so-called Land of Enchantment. That’s the slogan of the place. Why was that chosen as the crucible [for] what he called the creation and destruction of primordial matter at the Trinity Site [on the 33rd parallel]—why did it happen there and not somewhere else?… We really have to expand how we look at these things. Of course, he was mainly concerned with pattern detection.
…“So, the dreaming mind, the subconscious mind, the mind that is active while we’re asleep is basically always there. It’s always ON. We turn off our rational mind when we sleep. We never turn off our subconscious… [And] through these criminal masterminds and [their] acts of criminality, there is a message being sent to that dreaming mind and it’s [their] message of overwhelming terrorism, force and power. ‘Surrender to us. There is no alternative.’ That message is imparted by means of words of power known as Twilight Language…[as] it becomes a type of language which can be shaped…[for] manipulation at a spiritual psychological warfare level, which is the most dangerous and we need to be vigilant concerning it.”
[Q] “How did you come to know James Shelby Downard and how did he come to be known to a national audience?
MH: “Fortean scholar and visionary Bill Grimstad introduced me to Mr. Downard. I met and traveled with him a few times…in the mid-70s. I spoke and corresponded with Shelby (as his friends called him) for the rest of his life… His breakthrough [to a national audience] came when our friend, writer-publisher Adam Parfrey, informed us about a book he was planning to publish, Apocalypse Culture… so we submitted to Adam’s anthology the manuscript of King Kill/33, which Shelby wrote and I copy-edited and enlarged at his request… I think [Adam Parfrey] viewed Mr. Downard as a watchman-bard who perceived the higher elements of an overlooked reality which society had reduced to materialistic dross and Cartesian science. Mr. Downard pointed us to a tale that was being imparted above—and paradoxically inside—the deepest recesses of our heads, most significantly in the first atomic bomb blast and the John F. Kennedy assassination, which he described respectively as the Creation and Destruction of Primordial Matter and the Killing of the King. No one outside the Cryptocracy had that vision of those events before Shelby. He discerned a narrative, the Rosicrucian Ludibrium constructed to speak to our subconscious, weaving one of the most powerful of mental attractants: a compelling story…” –pp59-60, Twilight Language
“Fortean philosopher and revisionist historian William N. Grimstad has been a seminal influence on Hoffman since they first began corresponding in the 1970s…” https://www.revisionisthistory.org/persona3.html
*
“…Downard spoke of human magnetic fields in mesmeric terms [named for Franz Anton Mesmer] as ‘sympathy’ and ‘rapport.’ He believed this force could be used for good or evil. I see it as the probable foundation of the control of the Group Mind of masses of people when all of their attention is focused on an object [or event]… and as a consequence of the negative use of that control to gradually condition us into something other than human; into a lower order of being, contemporaneous with the emergence of artificial intelligence (AI) which exerts its own rapport, or what Elon Musk called a weirdness that was likely to be malevolent and that humanity would begin to experience circa 2024.”—p91
“ It was often said in the early 20th century by people like Gurdjieff that ‘Humanity is asleep.’ It’s a common enough refrain but people miss the fact that it is something that is subject to the change of era. Has the future already happened? The future we visualize as healthy and prosperous and advanced? Did it occur in the 1890s or the 1920s, and has it been downhill since then commensurate with the conclusion of the dream of natural, life-enhancing progress? Has the eclipse been initiated and engineered by the Revelation of the Method?
“ …[A]fter the trauma of the revelation –in the post-adrenaline shock—the percipient is exhausted and sleep is very much desired. The sleeping state is then induced together with more hypnotic suggestions concerning what constitutes reality. By this method the power and believability of false constructs of reality are exponentially increased as a result of the cycle of unveiling alarming, formerly clandestine facts on the one hand, followed by a sleep which does not refresh on the other. When I specify sleep, I mean a state of sleep that is occurring during apparent wakefulness. It’s repetitive shock therapy for the purpose of psychic driving: Revelation of the Method followed by somnambulism and hypnotic direction… If there is any ‘pandemic’ today it is the schizophrenia brought about by this bipolar excursion into a madness wherein the kind, benevolent, virtue-signaling leaders we are taught to admire are revealed in flashes and bursts of illuminating intensity as monsters of iniquity.”–p92—
“COVID-19 has been the focus of a selectively indignant media-panic with an agenda of social engineering having little or nothing to do with the health and safety of the people… In 1981 [1+9+8+1=19] Dean Koontz, writing under the pseudonym Leigh Nichols, published The Eyes of Darkness. On page 353 [=11] of the paperback reprint edition under his real name, Mr. Koontz writes [about] “…China’s most important and dangerous new biological weapon in a decade. They call the stuff ‘Wuhan-400’ because it was developed at their RDNA labs outside of the city of Wuhan. Wuhan-400 is a perfect weapon…”
[Q]: “Are you saying Koontz’s Wuhan-400 was a type of precursor Twilight Language?
MH: “On page 364 it’s revealed that the character Danny’s ‘newfound psychic abilities were a result of…his repeated exposure to Wuhan-400.’
[Q]: “So this Danny person sees things most of us can’t after he contracts the Wuhan-400 virus? Are you suggesting that Koontz’s The Eyes of Darkness has something to do with COVID-19 and the 21 Gateway? –p94
MH: “Divide the number 400 Dean Koontz identified with Wuhan by the COVID number 19 which Donald Trump identified with Wuhan China and you have 21.
[Q]: “What does this mean?
MH: “It’s a haunting… Haunting us with the spectre that COVID-19 was staged…
[Q]: “In other words a script.
MH: In the argot of dramaturgy…shorthand for manuscript… denot[ing]] a ‘shooting script’ fashioned for…cinema, television and video gaming… In the sense we’re discussing here however, this haunting and the subsequent memory shaping and encoding—it seems to be a more venerable process… Our subconscious groks it, to use Robert Heinlein’s term, and as we proceed through this Time of the Gateway we are seeing the story emerge into our waking consciousness and even materialize as a physical presence.
[Q]: “Is there an inception point for this scripting? Downard said the plan for the JFK assassination was laid in…New Mexico and…New Orleans.
MH: “In the early modern era we see it first in the West in the origin of the Rosicrucians with the publication…of their…anonymous texts Fama Fraternitatis and Confessio Fraternitatis, ostensibly anti-Catholic tracts but actually products of papally-enabled Kabbalistic gnosis.
[Q]: “Which is what?” –p96
MH: “The human alchemy of ‘Magia and Cabala’ pioneered by that prodigy of the Church of Rome, Count Pico della Mirandola. The Rosicrucian texts announced the formation of a secret society dedicated to shaping and directing science… authored by members of the ‘Tubingen Circle…whose…forefathers…had initiated the first…theological propaganda for ecclesiastical permission for usury… The Rosicrucian texts were couched in lofty rhetoric of humanist calls for ‘reform’ in terms of advanced propulsion of the acquisition of scientia est potentia, the new age of scientific power over nature” –p97—“… In the Midde Ages magic was almost always viewed as filthy, dark and demonic. By popularizing the concept of an ‘angelic Catholic’ Kabbalah, allegedly representative of God’s own branches of divine knowledge, Pico della Mirandola and his Medici network cleaned up the image of sorcery and identified mathematics and the other learned disciplines with it. From that infernal marriage, both Cartesian mechanism and scientism’s ‘repair’ (tikkun olam) of a supposedly ‘imperfect Creation’ through the intervention of human brain power arose, with fairly disastrous results for Nature and this planet, as witnessed in the Land of Enchantment’s spectacular theatrical crucible [of an atomic detonation] 330 years later.
[Q]: “How can the deterministic world of science find common cause with sorcery?”
MH: “As you know the universe as envisioned by quantum physics is not deterministic, it’s indelibly probabilistic. Quantum states reflect our own knowledge of physical reality rather than being faithful representations of something that exists independently. A case in point are the particles that don’t have definite properties until those properties are measured.
[Q]: “And you believe that?”
MH: “It may or may not be prudent to believe it. It does however beg the question, ‘Is there a hidden deterministic reality that’s not modeled by the mathematics of quantum mechanics.’
[Q]: “How are we missing the whole science and magic connection? –p98–
MH: “It hasn’t been missed by the New Age and hippie movements…though the knowledge was mutilated and misdirected. There are shelves of books and films devoted to it. The ‘Tao of Physics, etc….
[Q]: “I thought we were in the Revelation of the Method era?
MH: “We are, but there are paradoxes generated, adumbrated, as expressed in the maxim ‘hiding less in order to hide more,’ something which occasionally attends the Revelation but is not reducible to it.
[Q]: “Then it undercuts the Revelation.
MH: “Not if, however circuitous the route, it leads to its manifestation.
[Q]: “How?”
MH: “Hiding less in order to hide more seems to me to be an adjunct of the Revelation of the Method process itself. It’s possible that the process doesn’t operate in alignment with our expectations, for example that it’s almost always going to manifest as a combustive flash. It appears to function in certain circumstances in ways that are analogous to what’s known in computer science, in the year 2021 anyway, as iO, short for ‘indistinguishability Obfuscation.’ iO enables the creation of ‘deniable’ encryption wherein the user can plausibly convince a percipient that she was sent an entirely different message from the one actually transmitted…[So percipients are]given the actual message but they don’t recognize it. A method of obfuscating processing, rendering it indistinguishable, involves initiating people into the program without them perceiving the program’s internal secrets. That’s comparable to homomorphic computer encryption in which a cloud computer has the ability to compute encrypted data without acquiring its internal dynamics.” –p99
[Q]: “Where does the Revelation of the Method come into play in this scenario?
MH: “Well, in that case you have RQM which is relational quantum mechanics which asserts that the value for one system is always relative to the system it’s interacting with. For example, time and space. Time relations among events are constituted by the specific physical relations obtaining between them; for instance, the ongoing presence in time of a haunted place. Charged events occurring in a specific place can manifest in perpetuity in future time as a ‘haunting.’ To create this perpetuity an action is ‘charged’ through expertly calculated, impeccably executed rituals, sometimes involving the shedding of blood.
[Q]: “How is the expertise to accomplish this gained?
MH: “Through what was formerly known as sorcery.
[Q] “ And you think this is what some ‘serial murders’ and ‘lone nut gunman’ type shooting massacres really are, using magical ceremonial phenomena in space for haunting future time; channeling it in directions where the sorcerers decide it has to go to achieve their supreme objective?
MH: “Haunting the future, yes. Another word would be imprinting the future so that it bears the stamp and image of the sorcerers. Out of that alchemy comes a drastically occluded vision that can’t conceive of anything other than what we’re told the future will be…[and] humanity will settle for it because they can’t see how it will go any other way. Late in the game when the full Revelation…is made manifest, it won’t matter. That’s the Black Jack wager.
[Q] “And less of this is hidden by the Revelation of the Method pageantry so that more can be concealed. That’s the ‘21’ Black Jack stage you claim we’re in.” –p100
MH: “Yes, as we’re led through the 21 Gateway certain strategies, tactics and methods of operation remain concealed in the short term for the purpose of successfully performing, without obstruction, the final revelation, according to what I surmise is a primordial script that gained motive force in the city-of-dark-night that was ancient Egypt and then fueled by the two-tiered law-givers and secret-keepers of every eon…whose ultimate fulfillment is reputedly destined…
[Q]: “for the purpose of?
MH: “For the permanent ascendance of the enemy of the human race. There’s a persistent legend that Satan can make people stronger, that he wants them to have joy, unlike God who is portrayed as a nay-sayer and killjoy. But actually Satan is the enemy of the human race. His empire consists of…the dominion of dead matter.
[Q]: “As a Biblical Christian how do you reconcile this dark future with Scripture?
MH: Because I explore the beliefs and mechanisms of the Cryptocracy, it doesn’t follow that I personally believe in their efficacy or fulfillment. When a psychiatrist provides a case study of a psychotic patient’s delusions it doesn’t signify that he shares those delusions. The confusion arises in the concept of potency. Unlike an everyday schizophrenic who possesses no more than average personal power or wealth, the psychotics running the occult imperium are potent operators who have convinced a large swath of humanity to buy into their deceptive phantasmagoria. Sociopathic master criminals often possess a considerable capacity to successfully mount swindles and fraud. When this capacity is repeatedly honed, improved and passed down to the heirs of the gnosis by a criminal gang that has utilized these sophisticated techniques of mind control for millennia, the hallucination they project will become a kind of reality for much of humanity…” –p101
[Q]: “Then we’re locked in a cognitive trap set up by an occult reality with no chance of escape. Trapped by freeze-the-secrets/thaw-the-secrets and hide-less-to-conceal-more, Revelation of the Method lockdown hypnotic control dead-matter supremacy.
MH: “That’s the proper belief seeded by Control.
[Q] “According to you that’s our present reality.
MH: “That’s the present script… [But] No, the present ‘reality’ doesn’t exhaust the reality that’s out of sight and beyond our comprehension… I’m saying we should deal in Nature, Creation and the cosmos…” –p102– “First we acknowledge that God is the author of our inalienable human rights. When the Creator is removed from the equation then the Leninist, the Maoist or the neo-Nazi steps in to say that rights are conferred by The Party and can be legally and ethically withdrawn by The Party. Second, where fallen human nature is acknowledged (which is a supremely anti-occult acknowledgement) flawed human beings will not be entrusted with unrestrained authority.” –p106, Twilight Language– [JL inserting: nor will ‘our’ creations of learning-automated artificial intelligence]

[Q]: “Is there a Twilight Language dictionary? How do you determine what is a key word in this lexicon?
MH: “I don’t think it’s so formal. It’s often a matter of intuition and pattern detection. And then too, the phenomenon is shape-shifting… [It] bends the ordinary reality of our half-asleep, workaday consciousness which can be formed and imprinted through selection, repetition and association: selecting a word that’s usually already freighted with etymological weirdness, and then repeatedly associating it with, for example, ritual murder, so that it becomes a type of invocation.” –p103, ibid.

More than anywhere else on earth from the sky, Lahaina looks like a beautiful soaring bird even as it dove into flaming heaps of coal and ash in the twilight of August 8. My sorely heavy heart will never forget you.
Truth is a love-letter from the soul.
On August 17th I saw the video that made me understand. Jonathan Herzog was trying to drive through Lahaina town some time before 2:30pm and found himself officially diverted within the confines of the danger zone in the path of the coming fire. He wrote on his video “They keep detouring us in circles.” On a pass up Front Street timestamped 2:36, wind and debris was pulling down the power lines and Jonathan knew he was “in a bad place”…
Jonathan ditched his car in a church parking lot, and not a moment too soon it appears, headed for a jetty in the harbor a block away until it too was a bad place where the smoke would overtake him– he moved north along the shore to the cluster of resorts and found a room to spend the night. And on the next day, the 9th, he got a bus ride back into town. (minute 33)
From the window of a tour bus, we see his motorcade passing the ashen ruins until they reach the unburned shopping center and turn left onto Keawe St, “the Gateway,” beginning and end of the Lahaina Bypass (Hwy 3000). Behind them now is the Safeway grocery store, the safe way off of Front St. and up the hill (mauka). Just the day before, about the same time of day, Jonathan was very close to it.

Please, especially, listen and watch Fish speak with Eric West for 30 minutes, found here. https://greatmountainpublishing.com/2023/08/24/police-blocked-roads-to-prevent-residents-from-fleeing-the-immolation-of-lahaina/ ; Fish was at the Safeway when smoke came pouring into the Gateway which was closed to traffic. People there couldn’t see beyond the smoke but if they had, they would have known there were no flames coming from the buildings along Keawe Street. The toxic smoke, I’m guessing, came from the fenced car lot of about 50-60 cars behind the undamaged Mormon church, a block up from the shopping center. Toasted cars turned up in unusual places.
On the 9th around midday (noon?), this helicopter image was taken near the Bypass. The center foreground at the bottom of the picture shows a meeting place of east-west Lahainaluna Rd with the bypass entrance (elbow) on the left and the small Kelawea Mauka Makai park (with brown trees), flagged with a big red dot in the street map above. You can count the rows of unburned houses from the right, sited just below the Bypass in this picture. On both outer sides of row 4 appear to be flashpoints for the fires that seemed to burn downward and sideways, leaving only one blue-roofed house unburned in row 6 (looks turquoise here). No structures near the Bypass, or any above it were burned. NASA’s infrared “flaming bird” shot from the night before shows this high ground in utter blue-blackness except for one small hazy purple spot that is barely visible. I marked the ‘spot’ in daylight with purple in this after-fire image below from Google Earth. The spot , said to have flashed a fire in the grass on 8-8 around 6:30am in the morning, is where the official narrative begins and truth leaves off.
The yellow X on the Bypass is roughly the helicopter vantage point looking west-northwest.
Also in this Google image is the closest cul-de-sac to the right of my yellow X appearing to have 2 totally toasted cars left where they melted. See them here in a video from Eric and friends— https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Lg2WV-B26pA&t=328s; and a picture.
“…We’re right below Lahainaluna High School in an area that did not burn…so…this is like something out of a space movie… By the way, I just talked to a neighbor who was talking to an investigator in Lahaina town yesterday and he said the investigator told him temperatures reached in excess of three thousand degrees… [The authorities] don’t want anybody taking pictures, especially pictures like this…”

Arrows: yellow is the Mormon church roof, orange is one big car lot, green is unburned structures, pink is a large fully destroyed apartment building and red looks like three more isolated toasted cars. The Bypass is across the background above the field. Some unusual damage appears in the far left open space including charred green grass.
Every car in the fenced lot behind the Mormon church was toasted but nothing else outside the lot looks damaged. On the 9th as Jonathan H. was riding up the Bypass, he held his camera on the church as the bus climbed Keawe Street. The plume of black smoke came from the big smoldering apartment block that burned for two days.
*
Here’s another angle and a link about this brand new 5-story apartment building at 258 Kupuohi Street that held its grand opening in December of 2022 https://affordablehousingonline.com/housing-search/Hawaii/Lahaina/Kaiaulu-O-Kupuohi/10112246 ; built by Hunt Companies https://www.huntcompanies.com/about-us/our-history specializing in privatized military housing, low-income and high-end ‘lifestyle’ developments. The picture above is another video from Eric West, taken I believe on the 9th. The firetruck near the pink arrow is extinguishing an intentional back-burn as I understand it, and fire crews expanded back-burning the next day farther north and east. As we know, on the 9th, many more homes were yet to burn. (yellow arrow is Mormon church, green on the far right is the Bypass) Black char, right there, is what a hot grass fire aftermath looks like. For comparison, tour Lahaina’s high ground after the August 2018 “Hurricane Lane” fire.
Kahoma Village ( by video walking tour) remained unscathed except for 4 buildings: shown here, toasted cars next to two of its destroyed low-income multi-unit ‘townhouses’. (–add a fifth building of one single family house destroyed in the upper right corner of the map below) Take the tour https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9mppuqs7YF0
Smoked-out by burning cars: check this recent 19 second video taken Aug 25 at a shopping mall in Philadelphia where five or six cars closely parked erupted in flames https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IsJjXlqcL_Y Here’s the scene:
*
Based on what can be learned from survivors and the lay of the land, I’m going to show you images and quote the witnesses who crossed the threshold of the Safeway, starting with Jonathan Herzog’s bus ride on the 9th.
Recorded from the window, looking west toward the water, here’s the Cannery Mall with Safeway in the background.
Seen from the right side bus window, Safeway’s north side-road, Kapunakea St, is blocked here. The Cannery’s south side-road at the intersection with Rt30 and Keawe is also blocked on this day and stood guard by police. You can catch a glimpse of the blockade as Jonathan pans over the intersection as they turn left up Keawe/Bypass.
Across the street is the Gateway shopping center. The parking lot later became the staging area for basic community services like food and supplies.
The Day Before (below): Reports showing video taken on the afternoon of Aug 8 at the Gateway were recently aired by KITV’s (abc4) Jeremy Lee
Travis Miller’s video at 3pm Aug 8 as he exited the Safeway.
Below is Shantal’s video at 4:30 pm. Billowing smoke “near the Bypass” is pouring down into the intersection of Keawe and Rt30 heading toward the Gateway and Safeway. About an hour later, as Bethany told it to Eric West, she left her Kupuohi apartment (the big block behind the Mormon church) and was required to turn left down into the heavier smoke and drive straight through the intersection to the Safeway. When Bethany left the 5-story apartment house around 5:30pm it was not on fire but “smoke was everywhere.” Shantal’s video shows the Keawe/Bypass access was actually free of smoke.
Watch this 2:30 minute news report from KITV’s Jeremy Lee for the scenes shown above. He opens his statements standing in front of the unburned Kelawea Mauka Makai Park on Lahainaluna Road, captured in the helicopter footage at the highground Bypass next to the assumed flashpoint of the town fire. Jeremy also reports that Lahainaluna Rd was closed and blocked by police both north and south where it met Rt30, forcing people to cross and drive down to Front Street. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Qg2sfqTiGnc
A DAY AGO | By Jeremy Lee “LAHAINA– A Lahaina resident captured cell phone video over the course of two hours, revealing the highway shut down to traffic during the peak hours of the self-evacuation. Newly released cell phone video, shot by Travis Miller, captures the moment that downed power lines entangled cars on Honoapi’ilani Highway[Rt30] near Kapunakea [Safeway], one block north of Lahaina Gateway. It was just before 2:53 in the afternoon when the flow of traffic soon after halted.” https://muckrack.com/jeremylee
Yellow arrows connect Front Street to the Safeway parking lot. Red Xs show barriers present on the 9th.
The Aug27 news from KITV: “[studio] …”Jeremy spoke with residents who fled those fires.” [cut to Jeremy] “I’m standing here at this critical intersection of Keawe Street leading down to the Honoapilani Highway [Rt30] which runs south to north as the primary exit northbound from Lahaina town. Keawe Street also leads to the Bypass. The Bypass, we know, was closed at 3:30pm on August the 8th as firefighters battled the brush fire. I had a chance to ask the Chief of Police [who doubly performs as Coroner] about the road closure which occurred here when downed power lines shut down Honoapilani [Rt30] northbound. Witnesses tell me traffic was directed down Keawe Street and into the mall behind me—The Cannery, the only exit [remaining]on the other side of the Cannery is Front Street. [Witness Travis Miller:] ‘All the people that I saw were directed…into the Cannery parking lot…’ [Cut to Chief John Pelletier at a press conference]…”let me answer it like this. There is going to be a very detailed long after-action. There might be the longest after-action that has ever been. Every data point is going to be scrubbed and looked at [-said while shaking his head side-to-side in the ‘NO’ gesture-]…It’s our community, it’s our people too, so I say let us do what we need to do and let the after-action do what it needs to do. But I can tell you that we did everything we can to make sure that we preserve life and protect each other, so we’ve already found that some of the false reports on the direction of travel were not correct… [reporter question]:They weren’t directed down Keawe Street? [Chief Pelletier]: They were not directed toward the danger.” https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3BO8sqVCLwg; KITV August 27, reporter Jeremy Lee, who followed up with the newer video posted with pictures.

8/8, 5:30pm in the Safeway parking lot
*
8/8, 6:30pm, from the northeast high ground, the big white roof of the Safeway is visible in the center. Look left for the Mormon steeple eerily framed by a triangle of foreground weeds.
…a zoom-in on the foot of Keawe Street from the same spot shows that the Bypass access is unburned. Video source (from Eric West, below)
Lani said “I was working [in the southernmost neighborhood of Lahaina town]…and I think I left to get out at 3:30… It was so crazy. We were like rats trying to follow each other and the roads were blocked and I’m not blaming the police or anybody… We got on to Front Street and tried to get to the Bypass but we ended up by Safeway because, again, everything [else] was blocked off. [On]Every street there were either roofs on the ground, telephone poles…” https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GoMYd0eiJAI Lani picked her way back south to where she started, and “it was already, maybe, 4:40,” and followed a truck storming through the barricade onto Rt30 southbound.
Jesse Wald and his wife noticed the smoke from their Kahoma Village upstairs window at 4:15. Jesse went outside to scout the fire and came back 15 minutes later to evacuate by car. He said afterwards, “I’ve heard some stories from people who were only a few minutes behind us in the same line of cars but they witnessed vehicles exploding one by one in front of them until they had no choice but to jump in the ocean,” [min 1:09—1:20] https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WCU9IZc6R8c ; Jesse provided the walking tour video of toasted cars at Kahoma Village, followed by a ride along Front Street to the Safeway.
The Wald’s, by the time-sense given in their story, were northbound on Front Street around 4:45 inching along to the Safeway where the mixer seemed to be holding cars in check on average of 30 to 40 minutes which was just what Glen and Loreen Ross had to say [owners of Island Lock and Safe, interviewed by the Wests on youtube at hawaiirealestate.org]
…”a pause in the threat…” ???– how about IPAWS in the threat. Fish, Jonathan, and others said that as the thickening smoke drove them away from the waterfront on foot, they began hearing explosions and screams.

“The Integrated Public Alert & Warning System (IPAWS) is FEMA’s national system for local alerting that provides authenticated emergency and life-saving information to the public through mobile phones using Wireless Emergency Alerts, to radio and television via the Emergency Alert System, and on the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration’s Weather Radio… Celebrating 10 Years…” –they’re excited to be announcing their third annual users conference this September 27. https://www.fema.gov/emergency-managers/practitioners/integrated-public-alert-warning-system ; the purpose of “IPAWS [is] to issue live alerts during real-world incidents.” https://content.govdelivery.com/accounts/USDHSFEMA/bulletins/30af10f
[my emphasis…]
…“Maui’s warning sirens were not triggered on Tuesday when the Lahaina fire began, Hawaii Emergency Management Agency spokesperson Adam Weintraub told the AP, citing departmental records. He said the county sent emergency alerts to mobile phones, TVs and radio stations instead. However, spotty service may have stopped those messages from reaching everyone who needed them.” https://www.npr.org/2023/08/11/1193395358/maui-recovery-lahaina-death-toll ; I first learned of IPAWS, CAPs (Common Alerting Protocols), and CAPstone mass casualty events from studying Sandy Hook in early 2013 when IPAWS was rolling out. NPR was (and still is?) the leading media partner of the system.
6:30 pm, Eric West points south. His finger is near the ‘toasted car’ lot next to the Mormon church.

In the meantime, there was all kinds of activity up on the Bypass, including local people who drove up to get a view. Here’s a street walk from Google Earth after the fire, the first day I was able to access it (Aug25) The overpass is Lahainaluna Road. The two big homes on the right, centered above the wall, are set around the cul-de-sac with the pair of toasted cars. There are four lanes worth of pavement and a wide gravel shoulder the length of this miles-long road, enough room for the whole town to park and leave a double-lane space for responders.
Warner went up the Bypass around 5pm it seems, after waking his cousin at the Kupuohi apartments who day-slept so he could work nights. Warner told him to pack-up quickly saying he would be back –for the moment, Warner was going mauka. On his way, in an effort to help a woman crying by the road gather up her family, he traversed the high ground across to Lahainaluna Road and back again. He found the grandmother once more, reunited with her family and a van, and then he went back for his cousin. “Where do we go?” was the question. Warner told him, “Right now I know the only safe place is on top of the Bypass because you’ll be above the fire”…[minute11] https://brighteon.com/af86367c-c72d-4e3a-b1f6-f69a03ea239e
Getting back on the bus with Jonathan, up past the Keawe Street transition to the Bypass and around the dog-leg turn to the south, we see the wide open shoulder and unburned grass… In the center picture is the edge of the Kahoma Creek culvert as the bus rolls onto the bridge. The first picture in this threesome is the south side of Lahaina town. Another mile or so going south is the Toasted wagon (below) alone on the shoulder (photo by Eric &co). These are the natural colors of Maui’s volcanic soil.
So far, the burnt grass near this toaster is the only fire damage on the Bypass. The grass burned itself out, as grass often does. The foreground burn-spot is very curious. I found the lone wagon by satellite south of Hokiokio Place but on the night of August 8th from the NASA fire-bird image taken at 10:30pm, nothing south of Hokiokio was burning.
The red ‘x’ on the left and yellow arrow on the right position this Bypass Burner across from the south end of old Lahaina town. Was this car placed there to start a burn at the very tip of town? Does the car have anything to do with the burnt grass? The guys found a strangely flattened almost paper-like cell phone, still recognizable, on the ground right next to one of its wheels. A burner phone?
A closer look at the intersection of the Bypass with Hokiokio –in search of the brightly burning objects seen at night– seems to turn up more toasted cars.

Update September 14– Ann told her story of escaping the fire to the Maui Council: “If I was in my car listening to all the policemen that were out there, I would have been dead… [On foot, I] ran down… to Lahainaluna Road, got down to the light…[and] found my daughter in her truck, so I did get into a vehicle at that point. We’re being blocked right there… by a police officer[and] couldn’t go anywhere…But we just disobeyed the cops. I had my family there including the two-year-old. There was no way I was going to sit there and listen to this cop telling us to stay put…
…”We went through Safeway parking lot, saw the power lines there… Everybody could have gotten out…It was free sailing going north… But the police officer there, quote unquote from other residents who talked to him [and they] were walking…all the way up to the front [of the blockade] said to the policeman there, ‘The fire is coming! You gotta let these people go.’ He [said] ‘I’ve got orders.’ We need to investigate that— who is giving these cops orders… There’s somebody above him that did this… It’s obvious we were intentionally trapped.” https://rumble.com/v3i9234-intentionally-trapped-family-blocked-by-police-narrowly-escapes-death-trap-.html
The Safeway parking lot, even though it is unburned along with everything behind it along Front Street, is hidden behind the black screen.
…for the record… I may not be finished yet but before you go, I’ll show you the end. This is the “makeshift” memorial that showed up on the Bypass, the safe way out: a line-up of uncountable anonymous Rosie Crosses under the Jack.
“The existence of the Rosicrucian Fraternity was first announced in what are known as the Rosicrucian manifestos of the early 17th century. This is generally considered to have occurred in 1614 when an anonymous manifesto was published in Kassel, the capital of HesseKassel (a state in present-day Germany), titled Fama Fraternitatis, des löblichen Ordens des Rosenkreuzes (‘The Proclamation of the Fraternity, of the laudable Order of the Rosie Cross’). This proclamation was placed as an appendix to Allgemeine und General Reformation der gantzen weiten Welt (‘Universal and General Reformation of the Whole Wide World’)—a German translation of the 77th Advertisement of Trajano Bocallini’s Satira Ragguagli di Parnasso (‘Advertisements from Parnassus’)—and is clearly meant to be read together with the Fama, with the twoworking together in partnership and thus operating the Gemini principle. The Fama Fraternitatis—which is concerned with setting in motion a universal and general reformation of the whole wide world by means of partly renewing and reducingall arts to perfection…” https://www.fbrt.org.uk/wp-content/uploads/2020/06/Secrets_of_the_Rosy_Cross.p
Knight of the Rose Croix is the mandatory 18th degree of Scottish Rite Freemasonry. “The Scottish Rite was established in the Hawaiian Islands by John Owen Dominis and King Kalakaua in 1874.” www.honoluluscottishritebodies.org
Prince Consort Dominis and “His marriage to Liliʻuokalani and his friendship with King Kamehameha V brought him many honors… From 1878 to 1886 he served as Royal Governor of Maui. In 1886, he was appointed Lieutenant General and Commander in Chief. According to his wife’s testimony, Governor Dominis was a very dedicated freemason and held the 33rd degree.” https://www.wikiwand.com/en/John_Owen_Dominis
The ceremonial Reception of the 18th degree [published 1884]: “…The stars have disappeared, the light of the sun and moon is obscured, and darkness has fallen upon the face of the earth… Our symbols and ceremonies envelop the great primitive truths, known to the first men that lived…We are about to conduct you through certain forms and ceremonies, to display to you certain symbols and emblems; we do not give you in advance their interpretation…we place the thread in your hands that will guide you through the labyrinth…” https://phoenixmasonry.org/AARS_1884_/18th_degree_knight_of_the_rose_croix.htm
Masonry’s Satanic Doctrine from Their Own Books: see the second hour for rites of conjuring (1:24:oo) where “we find detailed instructions on how to conjure Lucifer [showing the invocation text] ‘I offer Thee this incense…vouchsafe to receive it as an acceptable holocaust. Incline to me in Thy power…” and proceed to Rosicrucian “ceremonial magic” where the magician negotiates contractual terms with conjured demons “until at last a pact is agreed upon. It may read as follows: ‘I hereby promise the Great Spirit Lucifuge, Prince of Demons, that each year I will bring unto him a human soul to do with as it may please him, and in return Lucifuge promises to bestow upon me the treasures of the earth’…” https://www.brighteon.com/db7f396a-72e1-4e23-89ab-bc476e257267 ; more on Rose Crosses, the Egyptian god of the Dead and the first End Timers in America, read “Crow Notes: Places” https://jenniferlake.wordpress.com/2023/02/13/crow-notes-places/
Aug10, ride with paramedics: “..so many things that don’t make sense. I have a video that I can’t show here. It’s of a cat and it’s in a walking position on all fours but it’s dead. It’s basically a statue—hairs are still on there but it basically just died instantly and stayed in that position and it’s really weird that it wouldn’t fall down. It doesn’t make sense in a regular fire, does it? I also have another video that I wish I could show you, but I can’t and I won’t and, God, I don’t even think I can talk about it… Isn’t it so bad that we can’t talk honestly and openly about things—that we might face repercussions in the future. Folks, the truth is out there, the evidence is there and you guys gotta go out and look at it and make a decision…” https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2cp-osLVsbQ
Governor Josh Green signed an emergency housing proclamation on July 17, 2023. Twenty-two days later, counting from the 18th, Lahaina burned to the ground. August 8th is the 220th day of the year. The night before, shown in this screen image, is numerically 8+7+2+2+3= 22.
ABC Nightline news crafts the Starter story of an Upcountry (Olinda) transformer ‘flash ’the night before; the clock capture reads 8-7-2023 (8+7+2+2+3= 22) at 22:47:47
The numerology ‘thread’ of time is 22/ 22:11:11. Look back at Corona the Crow Part II for Time numerology in the decode of the movie Back To The Future.
In the next instant of this report, the clock jumps to 22:52:22, skipping almost 5 minutes. It is now 7 minutes and 38 seconds (7+3+8=18) before 11 pm and it looks like a blaze underway. The storyline suggests it “could have been a deadly trigger for these fires.” In Gematria the firstgiven of ‘47:47’ of bright light has a meaning in reverse as ‘Jesus’ (=74) and ‘Lucifer’ (=74) being equal, balanced, reversible and interchangeable. Not what you learned in Sunday School?—me neither. ‘Reducing’ 47/47 to 11/11 symbolically contains Jesus/Lucifer in the number 22. The Upcountry news at this point had reported 19 homes burned, and that number is Time itself, or “out of time.” Gematria for TIME is 47 using a straightforward A=1, B=2, C=3 method. Masonic math, as taught, is based on the 47th Proposition of Euclid https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aUSWQ_ytlF8
(Update) Lahaina residents were held off their burned properties until Sept. 25, 47 days after 8-8.
ABC Nightline takes a ride aboard the Trilogy IV catamaran for this Lahaina fire special. Another day and another post, I’ll share more details about this ‘flip side’ to the tragedy– as I see it, an 18th degree Initiation.
Notice something? The vertical ‘beam’ is in front of the Shell sign and roof, closer than the foreground.
Unfortunately a video capture of transformers exploding in Kenner Louisiana in December of 2018 has made its way into the various Maui Fire narratives as a DEW attack. Here are two news reports of that December night in Kenner.
PART FOUR of the Crow is going to focus on corona as empirical technology, particularly as a medical paradigm of being taken by the head — physically, psychologically and socially. Hopefully, as a reader, the preceding parts of this series have adequately demonstrated that Corona the Crow stems from ancient ideas about the human mind. Brain anatomy is loaded with crow words; cortex, cerebrum, and claustrum, for example, nested under your cranium. “Psi,” the crow-foot (or fish spear) letter from the Greek alphabet, is a symbol for the mind, adopted by societies of medicalized psychology. The word ‘medical’ is itself an English latecomer, elaborated from the Latin word for ‘mediate’—medlare, to meddle– and the older Middle English word ‘medic’ which defined leguminous food plants like beans, subject to plantation methods in the birth of civilizations. A plant medic, according to my dictionary, has a distinctive structure of trifoliate leaves symbolized by example as the stylized Fleur-de-Lis: “fleur-de-lis, (French: “lily flower”) , also spelled fleur-de-lys, also called flower-de-luce…much used in ornamentation and, particularly, in heraldry, long associated with the French crown…” as a gift from the Virgin Mary, no less, who maintains her original status with me as a transplanted sea-bird. https://www.britannica.com/topic/fleur-de-lis .
Luce, of course, is the seemingly familiar root word meaning ‘light,’ but its actual Middle French/English origins identify it with a fish (the pike) as it remains, representing a large family of freshwater specimens. https://www.dictionary.com/browse/luce ; https://www.britannica.com/animal/pike-fish. One can digress to Fisher Kings, Merovingian ‘mermaids’, holey (‘cro’) blood and the divine Right to Rule within our Clockwork of Time and Water, but I would sooner get on with Mind Control in its variable and loathsome permutations. That is what Corona is about. Note in the 2018 documentary, The Minds of Men, this screen capture (minute 4) of the 1953 CIA-made film “Brain Warfare” starring Allen Dulles.
*
As Part Four progresses, I’ll be referencing The Minds of Men ( by Aaron and Melissa Dykes, 3hrs 43min, https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LQucESRF3Sg )–noting the filmmakers own emphasis on MK-Ultra Subproject 119. The gematria (numerical letter) value of 119 is also the sum of the words Crow (=59) plus Raven (=60), mentioned in Parts Two and Three along with a lot of other ‘1’s and ‘9’s.
If you wanted to be a fisher of luce men, so to speak, it would help to have a proper boat and a strong net …so, let’s recap the definition of corona from Part I:
Aesculapius and others like him were … “sprung from an egg”… “where a serpent in an egg is introduced as a true emblem of this deity… the emblem Coronis must sometimes have had a reference to the same…yet…Coronis was certainly a name given by the poets and mythologists to a particular machine: the same in which the gods are supposed to have been enclosed and to have suffered a temporary death. Coronis is accordingly said to have been a vessel or float… By Coronis is signified a ship…”
…………… here’s a ‘serpent in an egg’………shipping………FYI, these are official images of coronavirus presented by the mass media.

In this recent April 30, 2023 interview with Maria Zeee, Dr. Stephanie Seneff proposes a mechanism for shipping ‘virus’ particles from the Covid-19 injection site in the arm along nerve fibers to the brain, proofing on the symptoms of fatal neurological diseases like Mad Cow, or Creutzfeldt-Jakob Disease (CJD) in humans, and ALS (Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis, or ‘Lou Gehrig’s’) seen in post-‘vax’ injuries during the early months of 2021. The publishing source of these fatal effects came from an April 2021 paper co-authored by Luc Montagnier, mentioned at minute 36 by Dr. Seneff: “They know that it can cause a severe [fast-acting] form of Creutzfeldt-Jakob Disease, which is exactly what we’re seeing in those 26 patients that Luc Montagnier wrote about in the paper that got published after he died.”
Here’s the shipping statement in the transcript at minute 24–[Seneff:] “…That spike protein—it’s amazing because it looks like it’s been designed to be a bioweapon and it has so many toxic aspects to it that it’s disturbing to think [it can cause] your muscles to keep spewing out spike proteins and throwing it into exosomes and distributing it throughout your body… I want to get into this issue of distributing it along the nerve pathways, what I’ve come to believe, as a whole other topic [in addition to vaccine-carrying food plants] that I think I’ve finally gotten right… [minute 27–] So, here’s the story: The muscle cells take up nanoparticles, which look like LDL particles and the muscles have LDL receptors so they take up the particles, open [them] up and start making spike protein…, spitting it out as exosomes and releasing them into the synapse. So now, the muscles which are enervated by motor neurons…which have super long thread[s] from the spinal cord –axons, well, those axons are at the synapse to cause muscles to contract…[and] in that synapse you have all those [muscle cell-made] exosomes…releasing spike protein…and mRNA…and the axon will take up those exosomes [even though] it won’t take up the nanoparticles [because axons] don’t have LDL receptors…but they will take up exosomes. So now, [axons are] taking up exosomes and there are active transport proteins –there’s a molecular motor called dynein which is in the axon—that specializes in shipping stuff up the axon through the soma of the cell which is in the spinal cord… [and the exosomes get packaged into what are called endosomes] ..and the exosomes survive inside the endosome —the whole package gets shipped up to the core of the nerve cell that’s controlling muscle movement…and up the spinal cord to the brainstem.” https://zeeemedia.com/interview/uncensored-dr-stephanie-seneff-can-mrna-bypass-our-stomach-acid-if-they-put-it-in-our-food/
For the moment, Dr. Seneff’s description of nerve cells shipping loaded particle packages “up your tree” sounds reminiscent of the Queen’s Platinum Jubilee—yes! the T-Mobile Crow Show of last June with the overt lighting display of traveling DNA (linked in Part One). But there are manymore correspondences related to this interview besides infection mechanics. In 1953 when the CIA issued the Brain Warfare film, the poliovaccine was initialized at small-scale human testing– testing whether subjects could survive the shots. The next year in ’54, the test expanded to 1.8 million schoolchildren followed in ’55 by nationwide mass vaccination. In some of the coverage areas polio stats skyrocketed from 400% to 700% over pre-vaccine case numbers.
Here’s a brief excerpt posted at the Polio Forever blog from the book The Polio Paradox on the subject of latent, later-in-life post-polio, by Richard L. Bruno:
Chapter Three “The Guided Missile”…[p20] quoting researcher David Bodian: “The average number of spinal cord motor neurons that are destroyed by the poliovirus is almost 50%. However, nonparalytic polio may be associated with severe neuron damage in the spinal cord. What is more, some with nonparalytic poliomyelitis do not have any damage in the spinal cord but have characteristic damage in the brain, which is more extensive than in some who did have paralysis. All available evidence shows conclusively that every case of polio exhibits damage in the brain. The poliovirus is capable of producing an encephalitis, with or without symptoms, in the absence of any damage to the spinal cord. As far as the pathologist is concerned all cases of polio are encephalitic”. [p21] It’s amazing that something so small can do so much damage…But the poliovirus doesn’t attach to and damage just any cell. It is a ‘guided missile’ that does one thing: seek out, damage, and destroy the neurons that “activate” you –the ones that activate your brain and muscles. The poliovirus is the perfect human “Off switch”…https://polioforever.wordpress.com/the-polio-paradox/

Polio is fundamentalto the fields of Psychiatry, Psychology and Neurology:
On the record, the disease we came to know as ‘polio’ in mid-century America arose with industrialization and occupational exposure to toxic metals and chemicals –prior to the 1850s, the ‘flaccid paralysis’ of acute illness was rare enough to be medically unknown. Small epidemics (10-20 cases) were first observed and recorded among iron-and-steel mill workers in Norway and Sweden. In the following decades, the spotty appearance of polio-like disability began to affect numerous industrial workers across the range of chemical users. One famous polio case in particular, “the French patient” youth who worked in the leather dye-solution vats at a tannery, virtually assured the ascending reputation of neurologist Jean-Martin Charcot (1825-1893) who classified several of the neurodegenerative diseases of the 20th century, among them ALS (Lou Gehrig’s) and Multiple Sclerosis. Polio, by historical measure, gave rise to the academic fields of Neurology and Psychology, a two-way schism that developed around the 1870s and onwards from the study of ‘neurasthenics’. In our corona Mind Control context, the 1901 founding of the Rockefeller Institute for Medical Research (RIMR, renamed Rockefeller University) stands as the first milestone marker. RIMR’s establishment mission statement was to “pasteurize milk and study polio.” Almost no doctors in the U.S. had ever heard of poliomyelitis. In 1953, again, with the Salk vaccine in human testing and on the near horizon, the medical establishment altered polio’s diagnostic criteria. Even Franklin Delano Roosevelt posthumously had his polio changed to Guillain-Barre Syndrome, a top ranking ‘side effect’ of Covid-19 injections. As of today, I’ve learned that the most salient facts about polio are (1) that radiation exposure is a stand-alone cause, most likely by x-rays from the 1890s forward, and (2) the ‘germ’ was unknown until the mid-1950s following the vaccine and is most likely sourced from plants.
An update due to the polio pages which were posted back in 2011 requires another look to our crow friends who were felled in 1999 from a mosquito-borne contagion said to be West Nile Virus: “West Nilevirus hitAmerican Crows particularly hard. When the disease first appeared in New York City, in summer 1999, nearly 5,500 crows died in 4 months. Tests suggested the disease was 100-percent fatal to crows. Many other species, from jays and magpies to gulls and chickadees, also proved susceptible. Millions of birds died as West Nile swept across the continent in just five years…” [2010 issue of BirdScope]” https://www.allaboutbirds.org/news/counting-crows-the-impact-of-the-west-nile-virus/#
More recently than 2010, the WHO has added this highlight (in bold): “West Nile Virus (WNV) was first isolated in a woman in the West Nile district of Uganda in 1937. It was identified in birds (crows and columbiformes) in Nile delta region in 1953. Before 1997 WNV was not considered pathogenic for birds, but at that time in Israel a more virulent strain caused the death of different bird species presenting signs of encephalitis and paralysis… [In humans, the] symptoms of severe disease (called neuroinvasive disease, such as West Nile encephalitis or meningitis, or West Nile poliomyelitis) include headache, high fever, neck stiffness, stupor, disorientation, coma, tremors, convulsions, muscle weakness and paralysis… Birds are the reservoir hosts…” https://www.who.int/news-room/fact-sheets/detail/west-nile-virus ; the 1953intel appears to be new.

Author of the 2017 book The Invisible Rainbow, Arthur Firstenberg, wrote, “In 1982 I was in my final year of medical school… One day I collapsed and was unable to get up… It wasn’t a heart attack, but it was six months before I could walk up a flight of stairs without becoming short of breath… I gradually found that I was being effectively disabled by my society. Having stumbled upon an obviously well-kept secret, I researched the world literature on bioelectromagnetics… together with other members of a support group I had found how best to live with my disability… But in July 1996, to my dismay, I learned that an innovation was coming to my city which threatened to make it impossible to avoid exposure any more… [On] November 14, 1996, Omnipoint, New York City’s first digital provider..open[ed] for business… According to health authorities, an early flu hit New York City –but not Boston and not Philadelphia– on about 15 November… I learned that in February 1996, Congress had passed a law prohibiting local governments from denying permits for cell phone antennae because of environmental concerns… I also learned that the FCC had just issued regulations setting public exposure limits for microwave radiation at levels..ten thousand times higher than levels..causing reports of illness from all over the world.”http://www.whale.to/b/elfb.html
Omnipoint, est.1987; “before Omnipoint, the use of encryption technology was mostly limited to military communications. Omnipoint is the first and only company in the New York metropolitan area to use GSM – Global System for Mobile communications.” http://www.schneier.com/cmea-omnipoint.html
There is enough circumstantial evidence to suggest that Omnipoint’s Global System for Mobile (GSM) signal operations were among the mechanisms spreading West Nile and much of it is in the polio literature.
Omnipoint’s “Personal Communications Systems, PCS..[was] a newer class of wireless..services..authorized by the FCC [which] use a different radio frequency, the 1.9 GHz band, than cellular phones and generally use all-digital technology for transmission and reception… In 1994, the FCC announced it was allocating spectrum specifically for PCS..” http://inventors.about.com/library/weekly/aa072199.htm
“PCS differs from existing cellular and SMR in three basic ways: frequency, spectrum and geographic division. PCS networks operates in a higher-frequency bank (1850-1990 MHz) compared to the cellular and SMR frequency (800-900 MHz). The higher frequency band for PCS networks requires a greater number of total cell sites to cover the same geographic area as existing cellular networks… http://www.hotstocked.com/companies/n/northeast-digital-networks-inc-GSMI-description-68560.html
New York’s Office of EmergencyManagement (OEM) system could also be to blame: NYC “OEM frequencies transmit in a narrow range at 147 MHz.” http://www.dhses.ny.gov/oem/radiological/
” …human neuroblastoma cells were exposed to electromagnetic radiation at 147 MHz, amplitude-modulated (AM) at 16 Hz… Enhanced efflux at 0.05 W/kg peaked at the 13-16 Hz and at the 57.5-60 Hz modulation ranges…These results confirm that…radiofrequency radiation can induce responses in cells of nervous tissue origin from widely different animal species, including humans…” http://www.scribd.com/doc/34980786/RF-Induced-Calcium-Ion-Efflux-Enhancement-From-Neuroblastoma
“Dr [Ross] Adey demonstrated how a 147-megahertz (MHz) field, which at tissue level had an intensity of 0.8 milliwatts per square centimetre, caused an efflux or release of calcium ions from the irradiated brain tissue…” http://www.whale.to/b/adey.html
” 2. Purpose of Project: To make a critical review of the literature and scientific development related to the interpretation of bioelectric signals from the human organism, and activation of human behavior by remote means. 3. Progress to Date: Satisfactory.”
Among the technical successors to MKULTRA’s Subproject 119 is optogenetics which in recent years has gone wireless thanks to a light-sensitive protein from algae called ChRmine (pronounced KAR-meen) described here by Karl Deisseroth, a leading researcher at Stanford. Listen through minute 25 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ls07NZRJp6E ; It’s no longer necessary to cable a light source into the brain. Deisseroth says of ChRmine: “you don’t have to bring in light power…but you still have to bring in the gene.”
min24: “…[Behaviors are] assembled from parts, just like anxiety, and are tunable and can be brought down to the physical elemental components using optogenetics. So that’s pretty interesting, but then ChRmine changes the [?’sass’?]. We do like the fiber optic method—we can bring in light to a particular region but the extreme light sensitivity of this new channelrhodopsin means we can even do noninvasive light delivery. Here’s an example of that: We can have the fiber optic completely outside the brain of the animal and we can target deep structures like the ventral-tegmental-area dopamine neurons. Using an electrode we can track how well we’re doing and we can actually drive these neurons, drive the action potentials of these neurons, without brain-penetrating hardware at all. In fact, you can use non-injection-based tricks to get the gene in too—we [already] have ways of getting [the genes] into the brain with an intravenous injection, and this was developed by a friend, post-doc grad student of mine named Vivianna Gradinaru…now at Caltech. So, you can do completely noninvasive deep fast control of neurons now. And that raises all kinds of questions…”
*
…and myquestion is: Were Covid vaccines shipping mRNA-making optogenetic ‘light’ proteins, and will there be more of it in future mRNA vaccines? Some potential visual clues about future mind control technology in the Dykes documentary seem very suggestive despite appearances of past history. The opsin proteins at issue are called channelrhodopsin 2, or ‘channel 2’ images, shown several times in the video but shown first at 1:19 (1hr 19 minutes plus 33 seconds precisely). A clue? Do they teach that in film school? The significance of movie timecodes and numbers is covered in Part Two where I had my initial Back to the Future moment with the Crow.
Bringing in the genes to optogentically modulate humans, they tell us, requires transfection:
“So, the technology is relatively simple. You take DNA from a microorganism, Chlamydomonas for example, and connect it with a promoter region from the cell of interest, pack it into a virus, inject the virus into the brain, and then you wait… and study the behavior…” —minute 29, from speaker Peter Hegemann, “Optogenetics: Illuminating the Path toward Causal Neuroscience”, a Harvard prize-giving presentation recorded in 2019 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hOKLMjuwlLo
Now that we have a working model of ‘muscle-to-axon’ infection mechanics on how to “inject the virus into the brain” let’s check back in with our White Raven researchers:
[Sep15, 2021] “Biochemist Katalin Karikó and her colleague Drew Weissman were recently awarded a $3-million Breakthrough Prize for their work… Karikó, who is now senior vice president and head of RNA protein replacement therapies at BioNTech (the company that co-developed a COVID vaccine with Pfizer), and Weissman, a professor of vaccine research at the University of Pennsylvania’s Perelman School of Medicine, have just been awarded…for their work on modifying the genetic molecule RNA… Karikó spent years on this research despite skepticism and a lack of funding. Ultimately, however, her efforts paid off… Weissman and his colleagues had been working on an mRNA vaccine for influenza when word spread of a mysterious pathogen causing pneumonia in people in Wuhan, China, in late 2019. Weissman quickly realized this virus was a perfect candidate for an mRNA vaccine, and Pfizer-BioNTech and Moderna soon pivoted to work on one. The rest is history… [said] KARIKÓ: ‘From 2018 we had worked with Pfizer to develop a vaccine for influenza. And we were already ready to start a clinical trial for that. But switching over to COVID, it was just a technical thing. And so it was already ready. If the pandemic had happened 20 years ago, you would need to have, physically, in your hands, a piece of the virus. So that would be a big delay. But commercial gene synthesis started about 20 years ago. Now you can just order a gene. You order DNA, and then you insert it into a [typically circular molecule of DNA called a] plasmid, and then you make RNA. But making the nanoparticle to deliver the mRNA is kind of challenging.’ [question:]The lipid nanoparticles were a key part of the technology to make it useful for vaccines, right? KARIKÓ: ‘In my view, yes. The lipid nanoparticle protects the mRNA outside the cell because, in the blood and everywhere, there are a lot of human enzymes that can degrade the RNA. Second, it helps it to enter because the [muscle] cell will pick up the particle. And then it is in the endosome [a membrane-bound compartment] in the immune cells, and then this lipid nanoparticle helps escape from the endosome to the cytoplasm [the solution inside cells] so the protein can be made. It is a very smart particle.’ ” https://www.scientificamerican.com/article/an-mrna-pioneer-discusses-how-her-work-led-to-the-covid-vaccines/

_______________________________________
The Disease Continuum is the title of a post I put up in 2011, having the negative distinction of being among the most ignored articles on the blog. Was it timing? The title?—maybe I was preparing for yet unnamed Covid. (#98 in BLOG INDEX) I promised a serial, but never brought it back under the ‘continuum’ heading:
“In general terms, the mater materia of the Disease Continuum compares to the elements of the ancients [air, water, earth, fire]; four fundamental essences from which it is composed. By disease names they are influenza, polio, cancer and AIDS andtogether they forge a Ring of Power in the kingdom of Public Health. Common to the four elements of the Continuum is the eugenical substrate on which they emerge in history; they are timely, political, and as inevitable as the science and industry that sustains them. It should interest us that they are characterized as viral and not the foreign biological intruders we suppose. ‘We have travelled a long way from the mysterious filtrable infective particle of…years ago… [W]e have even the evidence that…portions of certain…viruses can be dissociated and later recombined to form a reconstituted infective particle… Clearly discoveries of this sort are providing the basis for an understanding of the host-virus relationship… For virus multiplication is after all a special case of protein biosynthesis… We seem thus to have reached a point at which biochemical and biophysical studies of viruses have really come into their own and offer the greatest prospects of advance.’ –Sir Charles Harington, March 1956, Ciba Foundation Symposium at the National Institute for Medical Research (NIMR), Mill Hill London [ref. The Nature of Viruses, 1956, Little Brown & Co.]…
… Work on polioviruses helped to prove that intestinal “Enteroviruses can infect all tissues of the human body. The tropism of each virus for certain tissues is not well understood…”. Reconstituting pathogens in the form of gut bacteria and viruses was learned early. Simon Flexner designed experiments in 1897 to alter the properties of harvested human colon bacilli and turn them virulent several years before he became the director of the Rockefeller Institute for Medical Research. Flexner’s cadavers in 1890s Baltimore, taken to the labs of the newly medicalized Johns Hopkins University, were mostly victims of pneumonia and influenza, a ready surfeit of bodies that littered the northern port cities of industrial America. https://jenniferlake.wordpress.com/2009/07/30/enter-o-viruses/
[and]… we should remember the words of H.R. Shepherd, 1993 founding chairman of the Sabin Vaccine Institute: ‘Vaccines are the most powerful tool available to equalize the health of human beings in every corner of the world. Enlightened leaders understand the power of vaccines to help bring peace and opportunity to the most troubled places…’ http://polioforever.wordpress.com/sabin-vaccine-institute/
No story of great or worldly achievement in the 20th century seems complete or soluble without a reconciliation to public medicine. It electrifies the most compelling events of our time like the JFK assassination. https://jenniferlake.wordpress.com/2011/11/06/the-jfk-conspiracy-con/
Edward Mandell House, the intimate alter-ego and adviser to Woodrow Wilson, was reputed to have said (prior to WWI), ‘Very soon, every American will be required to register their biological property in a national system designed to keep track of the people… They will be our chattel… stripped of their rights and given a commercial value…‘ “
[minute 1:21:56, The Minds of Men:] “When you run circles around the military’s technologically driven future, the nerves of the Army and Navy and Air Force, the communication networks of signals and intercepts…[and] when you run circles around the whole of human society and its various cycles of influence and modification…[and] the problem of the machine and man himself—once you go around and around the problem of feedback and cycles of behavior,…perception and reality, in the end the whole of Man can be controlled through his dependence on his environment.”
Schooling fish, waves on water… appropos to the NET: (min 1:24 narration:) “Many of the cybernetics members [of the Macy Conferences] were now talking literally about constructing an artificial matrix… As Alex[ander] Bavelas of MIT noted in his group dynamics study, ‘We are attempting now to describe the operation of a net…as a matrix…’ (min1:09 narration:) Macy was meshing the power of language communication and the symbolic exchange of information with the biological modes of control…[over] the organization of the mind which might one day be conquered one neuron at a time.”(from The Minds of Men, part 2 Cybernetics minute 40 to 1hr38)
Indeed. Optogenetics today. Quoting Ed Boyden: “I also want to talk about how different technologies might fit together in this grand quest to understand the brain… I think we need to think about an integrated toolset…that lets us control the brain…[and] watch the brain in action and interestingly, tools in that nature are emerging from the optogenetic toolset itself… And as much as people have brought electrodes into the brain for over a century, you can bring in optical fibers or other kinds of optical devices. The next question is do you need tomake a molecule that converts light to electricity or do you find it?…[We] found…a member of this [proton-pump] family [of organisms] from the archaerhodopsin class [that] if you genetically express it in neurons and then shine green or yellow light, will powerfully pump protons out of neurons and silence their activity [called hyperpolarization]… and you can shine blue light on neurons and let positive charge in and you can activate them, letting you investigate what those neurons are sufficient to trigger.” [called depolarization, or activation]–Edward Boyden, minutes 1:08 to 1:14, “Optogenetics Illuminating the Path…” https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hOKLMjuwlLo/ ; Archaerhodopsin-3 came from a species of fungus called Leptosphaeria maculans that had a light-driven proton pump, “and we got the gene that we nicknamed ‘Mac’ for short and we found that it was also able to silence neural activity” –like an ON/OFF switch—minute 1:16 ibid.
“Leptosphaeria maculans is the most damaging pathogen of Brassica napus [canola],which is used as a feed source for livestock and for its rapeseed oil… As a bioengineering innovation, in 2010 it was shown that a light-driven protein from L. maculans could be used to mediate, alongside earlier reagents, multi-color silencing of neurons in the mammalian nervous system.” https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Leptosphaeria_maculans

” ‘Optogeneticsborrows these light-sensitive proteins from plants and uses them in animal cells,’ said UI professor Kai Zhang, who developed the optogenetic tools for controlling mitochondria and lysosomes with blue light. ‘By attaching such proteins to organelles, one can use light to control the interaction between them, such as mitochondria and lysosomes shown in this work.’ … Further research from Zhang’s lab will include developing new optogenetic systems that work with different colors of light, including green, red, and infrared, since a longer wavelength will be needed to penetrate human tissue. ‘We would like to further expand the toolbox by introducing multicolor optogenetic systems to give us multiple ways to control how organelles behave and interact,’ Zhang said. ‘For instance, one color makes organelles come together, while the other color forces them apart. This way, we can precisely control their interactions.’ The team hopes to progress from using human stem cells for its research to testing the efficacy of its technique in animal models, as a step toward eventually testing the technique in humans through clinical trials. Diao said that other research groups are studying the use of magnetic fields and acoustic vibrations to accomplish results similar to the team’s light-based technique.” https://www.photonics.com/Articles/Optogenetic_Tools_Restore_Cell_Function_with_Blue/a68295
And, of course, it’s not just food plant fungi yielding up more and more ‘light’ proteins as the haloarchaea prove: “Traditionally, Archaea were isolated from extreme environments where they are dominant, but recently they have been detected in nearly all environmentsexamined using culture-independent techniques. Methanogenic Archaea are present in the mammalian gut and oral cavities… halophilic Archaea, such as Halobacterium, were isolated from salted protein sources such as fish sauces and animal hides.”https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/abs/pii/B9780123739445001085
“Haloarchaea is …mostly predominant in the gut of people who live in Korea. Haloarchaea are most abundant in Koreans guts rather than methanogens due to their saltier diets. This also shows that the archaeome in the human gut can vary drastically depending on region and what is eaten…” https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Haloarchaea ; Confirming the dominant presence of haloarchaea in Koreans is this :[August 04, 2020]… “We surveyed the archaeome of faecal samples collected from 897 East Asian subjects living in South Korea. In total, 42.47% faecal samples were positive for archaeal colonization… We observed extensive colonization of haloarchaea (95.54%) in the archaea-positive faecal samples… Haloarchaea were relatively more abundant than methanogens in some samples…” https://microbiomejournal.biomedcentral.com/articles/10.1186/s40168-020-00894-x/
—Strange it seems, but information like this adds to my speculation that the Halloween “Seoul Crush” reported on 10-29-22 was a Li-Fi event (see the number play at the end of Crow Part Two—“examples of 119s”)
[same 2020 paper on Koreans archaeome:]“Information regarding the community-based genetic and functional traits of archaea in animal habitats is scarce. We have previously reported occurrences of diverse members of extremely halophilic archaea (haloarchaea) in avian plumage** [13], as well as in food samples such as salt-fermented seafood…” https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC7409454/ ; **“Flamingoes (Phoenicopterus spp.) whose plumage displays elegant colors, inhabit warm regions close to the ocean throughout the world… In this study, viable red-colored archaeal strains classified as extremely halophilic archaea (i.e., haloarchaea) and belonging to the genera Halococcus and Halogeometricum were isolated from the plumage of flamingoes in captivity… To the best of our knowledge, this is the first report of viable extremophilic archaea in avian plumage…” https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/26553382/

In you, on you, and around you, Halophiles: Salt of the Earth…
“Several natural environments across the globe are enriched in salt and considered hypersaline… Typical examples of such environments include shallow coastal areas such as salterns and coastal lagoons, salt flats, as well as a variety of isolated salt lakes and bigger water bodies (e.g. Great Salt Lake, Dead Sea). Less obvious salty environments include pickled food, some typical fermented products used in oriental cuisine, as well as the surfaces of salt-excreting desert or coastal shrubs, human or animal skin, and other places exposed to periodical drying… These organisms are collectively referred to as halophiles. Archaea are traditionally perceived as the typical inhabitants of hypersaline environments. Halophilic Archaea (mostly members of euryarchaeal class Halobacteria) are very successful, and thrive under extremely high salinities all the way up to saturation. Members of this group are particularly diverse and are known for their unusual morphologies. Despite this clear archaeal dominance, halophiles are present in all three domains of the Tree of Life: Bacteria, Archaea and Eukarya… Some of the most innovative applications of halophiles are linked with bacteriorhodopsin. This molecule is a component of the photosynthetic system of several halophilic archaea, naturally occurring in a two-dimensional crystalline structure. Its chemical and thermal stability, together with its photosensitivity and photocyclicity, clearly surpass any current synthetic materials, making it an attractive source of applications, including holography, artificial retinas, neural networks, optical computing and new types of memories.[data storage].” https://www.researchgate.net/publication/322302376_Halophiles_The_salt_of_the_Earth
The shape-shifting morphology of Haloarchaea “is comparable to that of bacteria and varies from rods, cocci, spirals to irregular shaped cells.” Haloquadratum walsbyi (the squares shown center and right above) “is remarkable in that it forms an almost perfect quadrate flattened cell.” Other forms of the haloarchaea are shown below (A—D), and yes, some these individual varieties (if not all) change shape across multiple forms. Compare the images of H. salinarum shown in the post.
In the Beginning of “Early Evolution on Earth — During the first half of Earth’s history, stretching over 2 billion years, dramatic and long-lasting evolutionary inventions occurred through processes that we are only beginning to understand (Fig. 1; Deamer, Reference Deamer2011; Knoll, Reference Knoll2015). They include prebiotic evolution and the development of cellularity, the foundation of the last universal common ancestor (LUCA) and evolution of the universal genetic code… [In] this paper, we discuss a speculative hypothesis for early evolution, called the ‘Purple Earth,’ which posits the rise of retinal pigment-based phototrophic life forms on Earth’s surface prior to anoxygenic and oxygenic photosynthesis.” https://www.cambridge.org/core/journals/international-journal-of-astrobiology/article/early-evolution-of-purple-retinal-pigments-on-earth-and-implications-for-exoplanet-biosignatures/63A1AD8AF544BEEF4C6D4A2D53130327 ; The Purple Earth hypothesis is an astrobiological hypothesis that photosynthetic life forms of early Earth were based on the simpler molecule retinal rather than the more complex chlorophyll, making Earth appear purple rather than green.[1][2] An example of retinal-based organisms that exist today are the photosynthetic microbes collectively called Haloarchaea.[3] That time would date somewhere between 2.4 and 3.5 billion years ago, prior to the Great Oxygenation Event.[4] Many Haloarchaea contain the retinal protein, bacteriorhodopsin, in their purple membrane which carries out light-driven proton pumping, generating a proton-motive gradient across the cell membrane and driving ATP synthesis. The haloarchaeal purple membrane constitutes one of the simplest known bioenergetic systems for harvesting light energy. Retinal-containing purple membrane exhibits a single light absorption peak centered in the green-yellow energy-rich region of the visible spectrum, but allows transmission of red and blue light, resulting in a deep purple color… The Purple Earth hypothesis has great implications for the search for extraterrestrial life. …suggest[ing] that search methods should be expanded to planets reflecting blue and red light, since evolution of retinal-based photosynthesis is also probable, if not more likely than the evolution of chlorophyllic systems.” https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Purple_Earth_hypothesis
[2018] “Attempts to estimate when early life gained the ability to make the pigment [bacteriorhodopsin] – using a genetic mutation analysis technique called the “molecular clock” – have been hazy thus far, but the evidence suggests it was very soon after life emerged some 4 billion years ago. Similarly, researchers are unsure about the precise timeframe of chlorophyll’s emergence, but we do know that it happened at some point before 2.3 billion years ago – when, due to a combination of poorly understood factors, existing single-celled photosynthetic algaesuddenly took over the ecosystem, causing what is called the Great Oxygenation Event. According to DasSarma and Schwieterman… ‘Evolution of anoxygenic photosynthesizers was followed by oxygenic photosynthesizing cyanobacteria and ultimately eukaryotic algae and plants,’ they wrote. ‘The development of eukaryotic algae and complex plants and their spread throughout the terrestrial environment allowed the evolution of land animals and ultimately intelligent life… This is exactly what got us thinking that the two pigments – retinal and chlorophyll – may have co-evolved,’ DasSarma added. To further investigate the “Purple Earth” hypothesis, he and Schwieterman propose future work focusing on natural communities of retinal-based phototrophs in diverse environments, as this may reveal unexpected roles and niches for this metabolism and inform its evolutionary origin.” https://www.iflscience.com/earths-first-life-forms-may-have-made-the-planet-purple-50225
Credit for ‘cornering’ and sequencing the archaeal LUCA ancestor gene was “the greatest scientist you’ve never heard of” — Carl R.Woese (1928–2012), whom PBS/Nova called “The Man Who Rewrote the Tree of Life… having received a PhD in biophysics from Yale in1953, Woese believed that there had to be a more objective, data-driven way to classify life… He arrived at the University of Illinois Urbana-Champaign as a microbiologist in the mid-1960s, shortly after James Watson and Francis Crick won the Nobel prize for their characterization of DNA’s double-helix form [in 1953]… In 1969, Woese wrote a letter to Crick, stating that: ‘…what I want to do is to determine primary structures for a number of genes in a very diverse group of organisms, on the hope that by deducing rather ancient ancestor sequences for these genes, one will eventually be in the position of being able to see features of the cell’s evolution.’… To create his evolutionary tree of life, then, Woese would need to choose a gene that was present in every known organism, one that was copied from generation to generation with a high degree of precision and mutated very slowly, so he would be able to track it over billions of years of evolution… Woese had several different rRNA molecules to choose from in the various subunits, which are classified based on their length. At around 120 nucleotides long, 5S rRNA wasn’t big enough to use to compare lots of different organisms. On the other end of the spectrum, 23S rRNA was more than 2300 nucleotides long, making it far too difficult for Woese to sequence using the technologies of the time. The Goldilocks molecule—long enough to allow for meaningful comparisons but not too long and difficult to sequence—was 16S rRNA in prokaryotes and its slightly longer eukaryotic equivalent, 18S rRNA. Woese decided to use these to create his quantitative tree of life. His choice was especially fortuitous, Eisen says, because of several factors inherent in 16S rRNA that Woese couldn’t have been aware of at the time, including its ability to measure evolutionary time on several different time scales. Certain parts of the 16S rRNA molecule mutate at different speeds. Changes to 16S rRNA are, on the whole, still extremely slow (humans share about 50% of their 16S rRNA sequence with the bacterium E. coli ), but one portion mutates much more slowly than the other. It’s as if the 16S rRNA clock has both an hour hand and a minute hand…” https://www.pbs.org/wgbh/nova/article/carl-woese/
Carl Woese’s achievement for science was to find an undiscovered universe, a third New Kingdom of lifeforms whose genetic bounty suffuses other lifeforms like a parallel dimension: “In 1977, Carl Woese and George Fox published a brief paper in PNAS that established, for the first time, that the overall phylogenetic structure of the living world is tripartite… A fundamental breakthrough in biological science occurred in 1977, and most biologists did not notice… Several aspects of the paper by Woese and Fox (1) sparked skepticism. One was the arcane nature of the molecular data, which few could appreciate. The reliance on a single gene to trace major trends in evolution was an equally alien concept…” https://www.pnas.org/doi/10.1073/pnas.1109716109
[2019] “NGS methodology has been increasingly employed in the clarification of microbiota, especially in the gut. There are primarily two ways to detect bacterial DNA by using NGS methods. One approach ismetagenome sequencing, which examines whole DNA of the microbial communities within a given sample without isolation or cultivation of individual species. The second approach is amplicon sequencingof the 16S ribosomal RNA (rRNA) gene (16S rRNA amplicon sequencing) since the 16S rRNA gene is universally encoded in all bacterial chromosomes.”https://journals.plos.org/plosone/article?id=10.1371/journal.pone.0202049
And when they find the genes of interest, they go fishing:
“Fluorescence in situ hybridization (FISH) provides researchers with a way to visualize and map the genetic material in an individual’s cells, including specific genes or portions of genes… FISH is useful, for example, to help a researcher or clinician identify where a particular gene falls within an individual’s chromosomes. The first step is to prepare short sequences of single-stranded DNA that match a portion of the gene the researcher is looking for. These are called probes. The next step is to label these probes by attaching one of a number of colors of fluorescent dye.DNA is composed of two strands of complementary molecules that bind to each other like chemical magnets. Since the researchers’ probes are single-stranded, they are able to bind to the complementary strand of DNA, wherever it may reside on a person’s chromosomes. When a probe binds to a chromosome, its fluorescent tag provides a way for researchers to see its location.” (from the Human Genome Research Institute) https://www.genome.gov/about-genomics/fact-sheets/Fluorescence-In-Situ-Hybridization
Sodium, most of us know, is a key electrolyte in the proper function of our hearts, brains and cells. The body endeavors to continuously balance an optimal level of sodium by triggering its systems of fluid management. Most disruptions of sodium concentration in the blood lead to a state of hyponatremia which can be quickly fatal by seizures, heart and respiratory failure. I’ll leave you with some interactive Wikipedia links to make a quick study of problems and symptoms (mostly neurological and cardiac effects), and offer this glimpse of named conditions in sodium deficiency:
“Hyponatremia is a very common electrolyte disorder, especially in the elderly, and is associated with significant morbidity, mortality and disability. In particular, the consequences of acute hyponatremia on the brain may be severe, including permanent disability and death. Also chronic hyponatremia can affect the health status, causing attention deficit, gait instability, increased risk of falls and fractures, and osteoporosis. Furthermore, an overly rapid correction of hyponatremia can be associated with irreversible brain damage, which may be the result of the osmotic demyelination syndrome.” https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC4470176/
“Central pontine myelinolysis : “patients may present with the neurological signs and symptoms of hyponatraemicencephalopathy such as nausea and vomiting, confusion, headache and seizures. These symptoms may resolve with normalisation of the serum sodium concentration. …The classical clinical presentation is the progressive development of spastic quadriparesis, pseudobulbar palsy, and emotional lability (pseudobulbar affect), with other more variable neurological features associated with brainstem damage. These result from a rapid myelinolysis of the corticobulbar and corticospinal tracts in the brainstem…In about ten per cent of people with central pontine myelinolysis, extrapontine myelinolysis is also found. In these cases symptoms of Parkinson’s disease may be generated.” https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Central_pontine_myelinolysis ;
–and that could apply to any irradiation of the head or body, even in times past by X-rays.
“Intermittent hyponatremia occurs in a significant subset of patients with psychotic disorder as a consequence of a marked primary polydipsia and relatively minor and transient impairments in water excretion that appear linked to the underlying mental illness. Hyponatremia does occur in many other psychiatric patients as a consequence of medication-induced impairments in water excretion, which may or may not be aggravated by primary polydipsia. While effective preventative measures have been introduced, hyponatremia is frequently undetected in psychiatric patients, making the recognition and proper management an important, yet neglected, aspect of patient care.” https://link.springer.com/chapter/10.1007/978-1-4614-6645-1_9
In 2007, with Next-Gen Sequencing in hand, Congress passed the NIH Reform Act: “January 15, 2007 President Bush signed H.R. 6164 as P.L. 109-482, the NationalInstitutes of Health Reform Act of 2006, affirming the importance of NIH and its vital role in advancing biomedical research…” https://www.nih.gov/about-nih/who-we-are/nih-reauthorization ; The following month, an organizational conference was held from February 9 to 11 called The Uncharted Microbial World and at the end of the year, on December 19, 2007, the NIH launched the Human Microbiome Project.
[Oct 2007] “The human microbiome project (HMP) reflects the fact that we are supraorganisms composed of human and microbial components. This international effort emanates from a confluence of ongoing technical and computational advances in the genome sciences… It is a global and interdisciplinary project that promises to break down the artificial barriers between medical and environmental microbiology… The human microbiome project (HMP) is an imposing yet logical conceptual and experimental extension of the human genome project… [that] will provide us with the parameters needed to design, implement and monitor strategies for intentionally manipulating our microbiota…” https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC3709439/
On the heels of the HMP came the formalization of the Earth Microbiome Project in 2010:
“Mapping the Microbiome of everything” –“The Earth Microbiome Project was founded in 2010 by Rob Knight, PhD, professor and director of the Center for Microbiome Innovation at UC San Diego; Jack Gilbert, PhD, professor and faculty director of The Microbiome Center at University of Chicago and group leader in Microbial Ecology at Argonne National Laboratory [partner withFermiLab synchrotron]; Rick Stevens, PhD, associate laboratory director at Argonne…and senior fellow at University of Chicago; and Janet Jansson, PhD, chief scientist for biology and laboratory fellow at Pacific Northwest National Laboratory [PNNL, the former Hanford Plutonium Works in Richland WA]…‘The potential applications for this database and the types of research questions we can now ask are almost limitless,’ Knight said.” https://www.uchicagomedicine.org/forefront/research-and-discoveries-articles/mapping-the-microbiome-of-everything
“Microbes en Masse…”[July 11, 2012] “Faeces, lizards, keyboards, faces — Rob Knight likes to sequence the microbes on anything and everything. Next, he plans to sequence Earth… Since 2010, Knight has been involved with the most ambitious effort yet to probe the microbiota: the Earth Microbiome Project, a collaborative effort to sequence… at least 200,000 environmental samples such as soils and water collected from around the world. He says that the project, which is led by Jack Gilbert…at the US Department of Energy’s Argonne National Laboratory in Illinois, will yield a master list of the proteins required to sustain microbial life across the planet; about 500,000 reconstructed microbial genomes; and the makings of a global-scale model of microbial metabolism… Knight’s work certainly can make a splash: in 2010, the popular detective television programme CSI: Miami featured a technique developed by Knight and Noah Fierer, a microbial ecologist at Boulder, with which they matched individuals to the unique bacterial fingerprints that they left on computer keyboards11 (see ‘CSI: Microbes’). Knight’s team also attracted attention with as-yet unpublished work mapping the microbes that carpet the human face from forehead to lips… Knight says that all his studies have a serious intent. The time-series data, for example, showed that there was vastly more variation within one person’s microbiota than expected… Janet Jansson, a microbial ecologist at the Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory in Berkeley, California, [is] encouraging microbiologists worldwide to send in samples. They have already received some 60,000, ranging from deep-sea sediments from the Pacific Ocean to owl nests from Alaska… The plan, [Knight] says, is to collect a number of hypothesis-driven data sets, such as samples collected in pristine and disturbed areas… To that end, Knight continues to collect samples whenever he has the chance; later this month, for example, he will be scraping up microbial ‘mats’, which are among the most diverse communities known, from hypersaline waters off the Californian coast… Knight has other ventures on the boil. In one project, he is exploring whether gut microbial communities can influencemental health by, for example, changing the signaling patterns between the gut and brain. “My family has schizophrenia on one side and bipolar disorder on the other,” he says, “which has led to my interest in trying to figure out whether we could potentially address those conditions.’ With Gordon and Lozupone, he is also part of a global network for the study of malnutrition and intestinal diseases, funded by the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation in Seattle, Washington… Gilbert says that the research community faces a challenge in keeping up with Knight… “I think we’ll look back at him as a pioneer.” https://www.nature.com/articles/487156a#author-information

Going for the gut is nothing new. In 1896 a paper co-authored by Simon Flexner of the Rockefeller Institute begins, “The intestine, as will appear from these statements, is regarded as the portal of entry..[for] bacteria found in the inflamed peritoneum [and] also of some of those present in the pleura, upon the heart valves, and within the organs [of deceased on autopsy]…It has been found that these bacteria wander through the intestinal walls…where lesions of the intestinal mucosa exist… The majority of cases of acute pericarditis and acute endocarditis are found at the autopsy to be associated with pneumonia…” (https://collections.nlm.nih.gov/ext/dw/101317127/PDF/101317127.pdf ) In 1947, the eminent influenza researcher Frank Macfarlane Burnet recommended to his Australian government the use of intestinal agent bioweapons. (see the Influenza Special at the margin).
The great harvest for Big Science of the Microbiome expeditions, I contend, has to be the AMPs, another Rockefeller-sponsored endeavor based on the work of Rene Dubos, who discovered and isolated the first commercial antibiotics from Brevibacillus brevis in 1939. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ren%C3%A9_Dubos
“Antimicrobial peptides (AMPs): Ancient compounds that represent novel weapons in the fight against bacteria” –[June 2017] Antimicrobial peptides (AMPS) are short peptide molecules produced by most living creatures. They help unicellular organisms to successfully compete for nutrients with other organisms sharing their biological niche, while AMPs form part of the immune system of multicellular creatures. Thus, these molecules represent biological weapons that have evolved over millions of years as a result of an escalating arms race for survival… hence, the appearance of resistance to these antimicrobials is rare…” https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/abs/pii/S000629521630301X?via%3Dihub
The engineering of micro-environments for salt and peptides appears to be a key feature of the biotech industry since the 1980s, contemporary with the major discoveries of opsin peptides from the haloarchaea and algae. Nowadays it’s become commonplace for the proteinaceous passengers in tiny salt vessels to be advantageously affected by the incorporation of artificial (non-natural, non-canonical) amino acids or nucleic acids in their design, giving them a survival edge in the Re-creation plan. If I’m reading it right, the ‘salt-box’ concept is to hold their activity in stasis through the ‘shipping’ stage by maintaining a salt environment until they can offload at their destination and reactivate. In some cases, possibly, for biosensor purposes or horizontal gene transfer, the salt package may be intended for a long-lasting voyage in your body. As Karen Kingston describes in Final Days, this technology is meant to function inside you but biologically independent of you, like a parallel dimension under intelligent control –a Second Life sharing your biological niche.
[2013]…” Here, we describe a strategy to boost salt resistance and serum stability of short antimicrobial peptides by adding the nonnatural bulky amino acid β-naphthylalanine to their termini…” https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/23716061/
[2021] ”…In this work, we present a novel approach to include explicit water and salt in sequence-dependent coarse-grained (CG) models for proteins and RNA, enabling the study of biomolecular condensate formation in a salt-dependent manner… and to consider their key role in biomolecular condensate self-assembly.” https://pubs.aip.org/aip/jcp/article/155/12/125103/200724/Salt-dependent-phase-behavior-of-intrinsically
“Rebooting life: engineering non-natural nucleic acids, proteins and metabolites in microorganisms” [2022]—“The surging demand of value-added products has steered the transition of laboratory microbes to microbial cell factories (MCFs) for facilitating production of large quantities of important native and non-native biomolecules. This shift has been possible through rewiring and optimizing different biosynthetic pathways in microbes by exercising frameworks of metabolic engineering and synthetic biology principles… to meet various therapeutic, biotechnological and industrial applications…” https://microbialcellfactories.biomedcentral.com/articles/10.1186/s12934-022-01828-y
According to Klaus Schwab (a name with a rough meaning of ‘flying talons’ or ‘attack from above’, born in Ravensburg), speaking at the 2023 World Government Summit: “... It’s just now that we move into the exponential phase… Whoever masters these technologies will be the master of the world.” –minute 30 of Final Days.
Watch the new documentary Final Days featuring Karen Kingston ( beginning at minute 24) where she highlights the practice of Directed Evolution: (min55) “In the very near future you’re going to be hearing this new term Directed Evolution… Directed Evolution is Transhumanism [and] if you are forcing nonhuman genetic mutations to our genome, you’re exterminating the human species.” https://www.stewpeters.com/video/2023/05/live-8-pm-et-final-days-worldwide-premiere/
Here’s an example of a typical research paper—
“Directed evolution of rRNA improves translation kinetics and recombinant protein yield” [Sep2021] “Here, we evolve 16S ribosomal RNAs…from Escherichia coli, Pseudomonas aeruginosa, and Vibrio cholera towards enhanced protein synthesis rates…Directed evolution of ribosomal rRNA…towards unnatural bioactivities has highlighted plasticity in the cellular translation apparatus. Mutations to rRNAs or ribosomal proteins (r-proteins) can enhance translational fidelity, reduce translational kinetics, endow antibiotic resistance, affect ribosome assembly, and enhance the incorporation of noncanonical monomers or decode nonsense codons… A high-throughput methodology for directed evolution of rRNAs could …enable researcher-dictated biosynthetic capabilities… en route to unnatural bioactivities…” https://www.nature.com/articles/s41467-021-25852-5

The Shippers – The Allens and Rockefellers built their fortunes on shipping. Most of the high-tech mind control mentioned in The Minds of Men was funded under Navy contracts which operated the ONR, Office of Naval Research, whose establishment is attributed to Kuhn Loeb & Co banker Admiral Lewis L. Strauss. Strauss was Truman’s first choice of Atomic Energy Commission member in 1946. Not mentioned at all in The Minds of Men was Strauss’s hand-picked successor to the AEC, John A. McCone who became Allen Dulles’s replacement at CIA when JFK extended the offer, accepted November 29, 1961. McCone was an ultra-wealthy commercial shipping magnate at the time, integral to the blog post Atomic Oswald Three as a stakeholder in nuclear weapons and traffick. www.jenniferlake.wordpress.com/2018/01/29/atomic-oswald-three/
To this day, more than 30 years after his death (on Feb 14, 1991) McCone’s CIA-crafted biography remains classified and researchers on his trail claim they are tracked and censored on the net (see ‘education forum’ posts about McCone by John Simkin), and apparently he is still benefitting from the plausible deniability required with his CIA tenure. McCone thereafter continued as a CIA ‘consultant.’ Throughout his known career from involvement in the Six Companies (under Bechtel) that built the Hoover Dam, McCone was an early sponsor of nuclear development (making direct payments to Ernest Lawrence at UCBerkeley), member of Bohemian Grove and Knight of Malta. McCone is credited with establishing CIA’s Office of Science and Technology.
For a look at the Knights of Malta see David Whitehead’s serial documentary Cult of the Medics. https://www.cultofthemedics.com/chapters.html Whitehead, incidentally, inserts pictures of himself ‘one-eyed’ and ‘hooded’ so take that with a grain of salt.

Korea came under multi-state foreign rule during World War II and appears to continue as a subject experimental population. Most of us know the Korean War narrative (June 1950 to July 1953) ushered in the demand for the Nevada Test Site and the mind control projects Bluebird and MKUltra.
SALT has enormous symbolic importance throughout time. The History Channel began its Big History series with salt as the foundation of civilizations and cause of all ‘roads’ made from animal trails to salt sources. The English place-name suffix ‘—wich’(or ‘wick’) stands for saltworks. Salt is variously symbolic of Earth, purity, protection, life and death. Holy Water is salted. The ‘symbolsage’ website offers this Norse myth among others: “According to Norse mythology, the gods were born of an ice-block, salty in nature, a process that took around four days to be completed. They were later brought to life as Adumbla, a cow, licked the salt and released them.” I’m reminded from this of the London Medical Society definition of ‘korona’ (Part 1 and above) https://symbolsage.com/salt-symbolism/and-meaning/
Multiple point mutations in microbes is calledsaltation evolution: “In biology, saltation (from Latin saltus ‘leap, jump’) is a sudden and large mutational change from one generation to the next, potentially causing single-step speciation” https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Saltation_(biology)
“Is evolution always gradual or can it make leaps? We examine… the probability of multimutation leaps, that is, several mutations occurring simultaneously, within a single generation in 1 genome, and being fixed all together in the evolving population. The results indicate that… the probability of a multimutation leap is low, and accordingly the contribution of such leaps is minor at best. However, we show that, taking sign epistasis into account, leaps could become an important factor of evolution in cases of substantially elevated mutation rates, such as stress-induced mutagenesis in microbes. We hypothesize that stress-induced mutagenesis is an evolvable adaptive strategy.” https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/31570621/

Another “MA gene” candidate comes not from bacteria but from a human Denisovan:
MA-1 gene:
[2013]“…Here we sequence the draft genome of an approximately 24,000-year-old individual (MA-1), from Mal’ta in south-central Siberia9, to an average depth of 1×. To our knowledge this is the oldest anatomically modern human genome reported to date. The MA-1 mitochondrial genome belongs to haplogroup U, which has also been found at high frequency among Upper Palaeolithic and Mesolithic European hunter-gatherers10,11,12, and the Y chromosome of MA-1 is basal to modern-day western Eurasians and near the root of most Native American lineages5. Similarly, we find autosomal evidence that MA-1 is basal to modern-day western Eurasians and genetically closely related to modern-day Native Americans, with no close affinity to east Asians. This suggests that populations related to contemporary western Eurasians had a more north-easterly distribution 24,000 years ago than commonly thought…” https://www.nature.com/articles/nature12736/

A Historical Precedent for Brain Anatomy being depicted in Art
Twilight Language, by Michael A. Hoffman II, is a book written as the follow-up to 2001’s Secret Societies and Psychological Warfare. Below the quote which he describes as brain worship is a recent two-part audio on Twilight Language posted to MAH’s twitter feed:
“[the] perception of science is inextricably tied to alchemical objectives, so [the Rosicrucian] manuscripts [of 1614] are believed to have been authored by Johann Valentin Andreo and his Tubingian Circle… and there’s another foundational Rosicrucian text, The Chemical Wedding of Christian Rosenkreutz of 1605, also by Johann Valentin Andreo and the so-called Knights of the Golden Stone. The Rosicrucian manifestos reflected Paracelsus’s anticipation of the capacity of human brain power to take command over the stars and create new forms of life… Here we’re observing the launching of the major axis of the Cryptocracy whose subsequent influence on our world is in some respects inestimable…. [You] see here that the terms Magia and Kabbala come from a Catholic philosopher of the occult [Pico de Mirandola] and it has its origin in the Pontificate of Alexander the Sixth, the so-called Borgia pope who executed Geralomo de Savanorola…who was the enemy of the occult…so…what we’re getting a hint of here is twilight language, the literary game, the ludibrium…
…Jacob Boehme in his (‘Rising Dawn’) of 1612 wrote that, …‘The time has come to speak the Adamic language, i.e. the Primordial idiom, which allowed Enoch to converse with the angels.’ The Rosicrucians claim to already possess the knowledge of this language but they make it plain that it cannot be read or understood except by a minority. They proclaim the Age of the Tongue but they impose the Law of Silence on whoever rallies to them. Secrecy is a fundamental element in the Confessio Fraternatis which mentions it at least ten times…held to be inaccessible without a long intiation. Hermes Trismegistus says to Aesclepius, ‘it is an impious thing to divulge to the masses a teaching filled with Divine Majesty, the True Philosophy, which the Confessio extolls as Hermeticist.’ What we’re seeing here is a clear premonition of the marriage of scientism with magic, alchemy, and Kabbala– the capacity of human brain power to take command… The Rosicrucian manifesto is afforded by the accelerating creation in our 21st century along lines of Egyptian-type chimera of millennia ago… “
Ludibrium — Ludibrium is a word derived from Latinludus (plural ludi), meaning a plaything or a trivial game. In Latin ludibrium denotes an object of fun, and at the same time, of scorn and derision, and it also denotes a capricious game itself: e.g., ludibria ventis (Virgil), “the playthings of the winds”, ludibrium pelagis (Lucretius), “the plaything of the waves”; Ludibrio me adhuc habuisti (Plautus), “Until now you have been toying with me.”
The term “ludibrium” was used frequently by Johann Valentin Andreae (1587–1654) in phrases like “the ludibrium of the fictitious Rosicrucian Fraternity” when describing the Rosicrucian Order, most notably in his Chymical Wedding of Christian Rosenkreutz, published anonymously in 1616, of which Andreae subsequently claimed to be the author… Andreae compares the world to an amphitheatre where no one is seen in their true light. This conception of the Rosicrucian world as theater was popularized by the French SituationistGuy Debord in Society of the Spectacle (1967)… Paul Arnold translated Andreae’s usage as farce,[2] but this conception has been contested by Frances Yates (Yates), who took Rosicrucianism seriously and who suggested that Andreae’s use of the term implied more nearly some sort of “Divine Comedy“, a dramatic allegory played in the political domain… Similarly, the melancholic Jaques in [Shakespeare’s] As You Like It (1599–1600) asserts, after the fashion of Heraclitus, that “All the world’s a stage, And all the men and women merely players.” Robert Anton Wilson has suggested that the Priory of Sion is a modern ludibrium: The Priory Of Sion fascinates me, because it has all the appearances of being a real conspiracy, and yet if you look at the elements another way, it looks like a very complicated practical joke by a bunch of intellectual French aristocrats. And half of the time I believe it really is a practical joke by a bunch of intellectual French aristocrats. And then part of the time I think it is a real conspiracy.[3]” https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ludibrium
[clip of the transcript] M.H.: “”The Revelation of the Method actually comes from my mentor, James Shelby Downard. I met him in Saint Petersburg, Florida in the mid-1970s and he was a very unusual man. He walked the razor edge between genius and eccentricity, but he had a mind where he was able to see and detect patterns. And also, he had an historian’s mind in terms of the research that he did, and he was the one that set me on this path of the Revelation of the Method. He also called it ‘Must Be’ or ‘The Making Manifest of All that is Hidden.’ “And in the sense that in the very last days – not necessarily the last days of the planet or some eschatology like that – but in the last days of this grand conspiracy, which he centered, and I center also, in Great Britain as an initial starting point for it, and there are many other starting points, but that’s perhaps the major one – that what was set in motion in terms of what we saw with the first atomic bomb blast, the creation and destruction of primordial matter at the Trinity Site on the 33rd degree of north parallel latitude in New Mexico and then the assassination of Kennedy, that killing of the king rite in 1963 close to the 33rd degree of north parallel latitude. And then Mr. Downard added to that the Revelation of the Method: the way that the system would deal with this is by first suppressing it and then letting its own critics and investigators of the phenomenon be the ones who actually emblazoned and embellished their own invulnerability. They’re very much concerned about projecting a sense that they are virtuoso criminal masterminds, which indeed they are, but they’re actually invested in having that set forth because it demoralizes people and it encourages a great deal of the apathy and abulia, or lack of will, that we’re seeing in the people today.” https://gunsandbutter.org/transcript-the-alchemical-processing-of-humanity-t
“Dating back to 2020, there are reports of street lights in cities turning purple. This reported purpling comes from states such as Wisconsin, California, New York, New Mexico, Maryland, North Carolina, and Florida. Internationally, this phenomenon has hit Ireland and Vancouver, Canada… The problem is due to the packaging that surrounds the LED street lights. LED lights come in a variety of colors, but most modern ones have wavelengths that combine to create a blue hue as seen by the human eye… The purpling in cities around the world is due to defective LED lights — and the vagarities of the global supply chain.” https://www.motorbiscuit.com/why-street-lights-cities-turning-purple/
Light of the Vorld – Tvilight Time
[2013, CNN] “Imagine if a streetlamp knew you were coming. It could announce your arrival from a distance… change color at will, even announce days in advance when its bulb was set to blow… The system is called Tvilight. It was invented by Dutch designer Chintan Shah while a student at Delft University of Technology in the Netherlands. When flying overseas, he noticed streetlamps lighting streets that, in the middle of the night, were empty and desolate. ‘I started researching,’ he says. ‘I wondered, why are they burning? How much does it cost? Is this a problem? I discovered some amazing numbers.’ Shah found that Europe pays over €10 billion ($13 billion) a year powering streetlights, which accounts for more than 40% of government energy bills… Tvilight’s primary purpose is to conserve energy. But when CNN invited Dutch artist Daan Roosegaarde to offer advice as a mentor for Shah, he pointed to the technology’s more artistic potential.
“ ‘How can we use the technology to make environments more human? More sustainable? More natural?’ asks Roosegaarde. ‘We want to make it like it’s your friend, or it’s an animal, or it does things you don’t know about. It’s not just a machine with a feedback loop, but something that has its own intelligence and is willing to negotiate, to hack you in the same way you hack it.’… It is the type of thinking that garners endless scenarios. Depending on the occasion, streetlamps can flicker and change color to create any number of designs… ‘This is not just about saving electricity, it’s not just about the medium, it’s about the message, and what you want it to generate, says Roosegaarde.” https://www.cnn.com/2013/07/18/tech/innovation/tvilight-street-lamps-roosegarde/index.html

Optogenetics and 5G LiFi
Controlling brain circuits with blue light, as far as I know, is currently dependent on the insertion and expression of ‘opsins’ : light sensitive proteins that were first isolated from algae in1985, enabling the emergent field of optogenetics. Blue light manipulation of channelrhodopsin (ChR) dna from eukaryotic plant-like algae vectored with viral AAV (adeno-associated virus) is explained in this 2011 TED talk by Edward Boyden who was a 2005 publishing pioneer in optogenetics, along with Karl Deisseroth, a subject in my 2016 post ‘Threat Tech: Neuroweapons.’ Boyden: https://www.ted.com/talks/ed_boyden_a_light_switch_for_neurons
Here’s a few snips from Threat Tech:
“A lifetime transgene viral vector:
2008 –“AAV [adeno-associated virus] was initially considered as a vector by only a few laboratories…[but] with time, it has become among the most commonly used viral vectors… [because] almost all other viral vectors lead to an initial burst of transgene expression that commonly disappears after a relatively short time, measured in weeks. AAV transgene expression, on the other hand, frequently persists for years or the life time of the animal...” www.ncbi.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC2570152/
Using Light to deliverTouch:
March 2012– “We have recently generated.. transgenic lines of rat in which …some neurons were endowed with photosensitivity by the introduction of the ChR2 gene, coding an algal photoreceptor molecule… We identified that ChR2 is expressed in a certain population of large neurons in the DRG [dorsal root ganglion]..[and] were classified as mechanoreceptive… Each..rat showed a sensory-evoked behavior in response to blue LED flashes on the plantar skin. It is thus suggested that each rat acquired an unusual sensory modality of sensing blue light through the skin as touch-pressure.”
“Is it possible that one could hear light, smell light, taste light and touch light? When ChR2 [algal opsin] is targeted to different peripheral sensory neurons by viral vectors… the animals can sense the light as various sensations such as hearing, touch, pain, [etc.].” http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/26903290/
2019 issue of LED Professional [page59-of-80] “LiFi applications are manifold… streetlights could play a major role in future smart cities. They could provide gigabit bi-directional wireless connectivity. Interestingly, with LiFi this would also be possible during daytime. As illustrated in figure, LiFi can also unlock smart transport systems which are part of our fully connected smart cities. Because cars typically use LEDs or lasers in headlights and taillights, these lights can be used for gigabit inter-car communication, and data communication to street furniture such as traffic lights and street lights… An additional important application area is the internet of things (IoT). The IoT can be classified in the industrial IoT, and the general IoT… This connectivity will act as the ‘nervous system’ for our future things. Assume embedded microprocessors, sensor, memory and machine learning algorithms, LiFi will provide the high bandwidth, low latency connectivity to realize meaningful artificial intelligence… LiFi is a disruptive…fundamental 5G technology. It can unlock the IoT…[and]offer new solutions to close the digital divide and…have a catalytic effect for the merger of two major industries: • The wireless communications industry and • The lighting industry…” [by Harald Haas]
—same article, page 58: (p58/80) …”Sunlight constitutes a constant interfering signal outside the bandwidth used for data modulation…Therefore, constant sunlight can be removed using electrical filters…[But] In fact, we argue that sunlight is hugely beneficial as it enables solar cell based LiFi receivers where the solar cell acts as data receiver device, and at the same time harvests sunlight as energy.” https://www.led-professional.com/downloads/LpR73_Full_840017.pdf

“In 1979, Francis Crick proposed a novel solution: use light to control neurons (Boyden et al. 2005). Derived from this very idea and with the effort of many scientists, the revolutionary technique of optogenetics was born. Optogenetics, a genetic method to turn select neurons on or off with light, was invented in 2005 by Karl Deisseroth and Edward Boyden (Boyden et al. 2005). Notably, their development of optogenetics began with a discovery by Peter Hegemann who successfully expressed the blue light-depolarizing opsin, channelrhodopsin-2 (ChR2), in cell culture (Nagel et al. 2003). Expanding upon these findings, Deisseroth and Boyden virally expressed ChR2 in neurons, and, miraculously, they demonstrated for the first time that neurons could be activated using blue light (Boyden et al. 2005). With millisecond precision, optogenetics enables the fast control of neuronal spiking. As a technique using both optics and genetics, the term opto-genetics was coined from their extraordinary findings.” https://www.mightexbio.com/what-is-optogenetics
London-based Cambridge/Cavendish alumnus Francis Crick (1916-2004) shared a Nobel Prize in 1962 and took up the remainder of his life and career at the Salk Institute for Biological Studies in La Jolla (San Diego) California –a bio-inspired think tank co-founded by the polio vaccine maker Jonas Salk –which was under the nominal leadership of former Manhattan Project and General Atomics scientist Frederick de Hoffmann at the time of his 1979 ‘light control’ pronouncement. Crick had also said “any child can make a virus” in reference to the filtrate method of procuring bio-nano-materials, the use of which Jonas Salk himself called metabiology. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Francis_Crick
In his Salk Institute capacity as a neuroscientist and theorist, Crick wrote“ ‘The Astonishing Hypothesis [: The Scientific Search for the Soul’].. a 1994 book by scientist Francis Crick about consciousness. Crick, one of the co-discoverers of the molecular structure of DNA, later became a theorist for neurobiology and the study of the brain. …posits that ‘a person’s mental activities are entirely due to the behavior of nerve cells, glial cells, and the atoms, ions, and molecules that make them up and influence them.’ …Crick focuses on the primate visual system and breaks down the prerequisites for conscious experience into several broad subconditions, including some sort of short-term memory and attention mechanism. The book then delves into a brief overview of many neuroscientific topics, ranging from a survey of how neurons function to a description of basic neural circuits and their artificial equivalents. Throughout, Crick cites various experiments which illustrate the narrow points he is making about visual awareness…” https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Astonishing_Hypothesis
Among Crick’s erstwhile detractors, according to the Wikipedia, are the purveyors of ‘quantum mind’ https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Quantum_mind ; however, in my opinion, equally an argument of mechanics with a finer spin. When it comes to the meaning of corona as a vessel on the nanoscale, ‘quantum’ energy transactions are subject to material principles. As I grow in familiarity with photonics and nanomaterials, the ‘viruses’ are gaining definition as technologically derived proto-fullerenes. An example of note is a side-by-side comparison of a poliovirus model and a carbon-60 “buckminsterfullerene”. The fullerenes of most interest to me at present are the silicon carbide spheroids:
Shown are structurally identical models of carbon-60 and poliovirus icosahedrons, however the first poliovirus model was a simpler form of dodecahedron, demonstrated by Rosalind Franklin’s group with a ‘balloon model’ for the 1958 Brussels World’s Fair (below center).Its shape matches a more recent lab-made quasicrystal (below right), a ‘family’ type of structures discovered in meteorites and nuclear blast craters.
dodecahedrons
Somewhere along the line, and I’m guessing between 1958 and 1962, an important story about what viruses really are got deleted. The masonic lodge backdrop of the polio model photo is not lost on me and valuable insight came from pursuing the Franklin group’s experience with poliovirus. They found that storing their virus in ordinary glass vials caused it to disappear before they could work with it, so they, and all the labs collaborating with them such as the UC Berkeley Virus Lab, switched to special quartz optical glass. Similarly, around the same time, Dr. Vlail Kaznacheyev in Novosibirsk was proving that quartz optical glass permitted photon transmission from ‘dying’ poisoned tissue cultures across a quartz ‘window’ partition, where the ‘death’ photons communicated their ‘pattern’ to healthy tissues and made them sick and dying too.
Here’s the idea: “Fused quartz,fused silica or quartz glass is a glass consisting of almost pure silica (silicon dioxide, SiO2) in amorphous (non-crystalline) form. This differs from all other commercial glasses in which other ingredients are added which change the glasses’ optical and physical properties, such as lowering the melt temperature. Fused quartz, therefore, has high working and melting temperatures… Compared to other common glasses, the optical transmission of pure silica extends well into the ultraviolet and infrared wavelengths, so is used to make lenses and other optics for these wavelengths. Depending on manufacturing processes, impurities will restrict the optical transmission, resulting in commercial grades of fused quartz optimized for use in the infrared, or (then more often referred to as fused silica) in the ultraviolet…” https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fused_quartz

Sand and Glass ‘coding’ has been rife in the media since the beginning of Covid—look into the 2023 Super Bowl and commercials for a peak example– and I’ll link more commentary to the Notes in the future. The ancient Egyptians were masters of glass, as it turns out, making solid objects from processed pure quartz inaccurately described as a type of ‘stonepaste’ faience. New finds of ancient Egypt glass cargo in the last ten years have added to the sophisticated range of their glass-making that includes the known mineral colorants: “Egyptian Blue, also known as calcium copper silicate, is one of the first artificial pigments known to have been used by man. The oldest known example of the exquisite pigment is said to be about 5000 years old, found in a tomb painting dated to the reign of Ka-Sen, the last pharaoh of the First Dynasty… In Egyptian belief, blue was considered as the color of the heavens, and hence the universe.” https://www.ancient-origins.net/ancient-technology/egyptian-blue-oldest-artificial-pigment-ever-produced-001745
“Ka” is usually translated as “soul” meaning “Second Life,” or the immortal life after life. The first King of Kemet (Egypt) was Ka who was also referred to as the first Scorpion King, similar to the first Babylonian Scorpion kings.

Together with the Vedic common noun mitra, the Avestan common noun miθra derives from Proto-Indo-Iranian*mitrám (Mitra), from the root *mi- “to bind”, with the “tool suffix” -tra- “causing to”. Thus, etymologically mitra/miθra means “that which causes binding”, preserved in the Avestan word for “Covenant, Contract, Oath”…In the Zoroastrian calendar, the sixteenth day of the month and the seventh month of the year are dedicated to and are under the protection of Mithra…[which] reflects Mithra’s rank in the hierarchy of the Divinities; the sixteenth day and seventh month are respectively the first day of the second half of the month and the first month of the second half of the year.” https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mithra
“Worshippers of Mithras had a complex system of seven grades of initiation and communal ritual meals. Initiates called themselves syndexioi, those “united by the handshake”.[b] They met in underground temples, now called mithraea (singular mithraeum), which survive in large numbers. The cult appears to have had its center in Rome,[3] and was popular throughout the western half of the empire, as far south as Roman Africa and Numidia, as far west as Roman Dacia, as far north as Roman Britain,[4](pp 26–27) and to a lesser extent in Roman Syria in the east… The iconic scenes of Mithras show him being born from a rock, slaughtering a bull, and sharing a banquet with the god Sol (the Sun)… In every mithraeum the centerpiece was a representation of Mithras killing a sacred bull, an act called the tauroctony… The second most important scene after the tauroctony in Mithraic art is the so-called banquet scene.[30](pp 286–287) The banquet scene features Mithras and Sol Invictus banqueting on the hide of the slaughtered bull… One of the most characteristic and poorly-understood features of the Mysteries is the naked lion-headed figure often found in Mithraic temples, named by the modern scholars with descriptive terms such as leontocephaline (lion-headed) or leontocephalus (lion-head). His body is a naked man’s, entwined by a serpent (or two serpents, like a caduceus), with the snake’s head often resting on the lion’s head. The lion’s mouth is often open. He is usually represented as having four wings, two keys (sometimes a single key), and a sceptre in his hand. Sometimes the figure is standing on a globe inscribed with a diagonal cross… Some scholars identify the lion-man as Aion, or Zurvan, or Cronus, or Chronos…” [see the 7 rankings of the Mithraic Mysteries, from the Crow to the Pater] https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mithraism
“Today, proteins that can be controlled with light are a widely used tool in research to specifically switch certain functions on and off in living organisms.

“Crow Notes” augments the series Corona the Crow with some of the loose information collected for review but not otherwise incorporated—for the time being, the Notes are a rolling, ongoing accumulation of references and ideas spun off the main theme. When I started the first Corona last year, I was literally swamped in a matter of weeks after getting the idea that the ‘crow’ at the root of ‘corona’ needed an exposition.
“One of the oldest monumental structures on the Giza Plateau is the Wall of the Crow [marked in red]. Believed to have been the original entrance to the Giza Plateau and the dividing line between the sacred precincts of Giza and the surrounding area, the surviving section of the Wall of the Crow is over 600 feet long and over 30 feet high. The megalithic passageway is one of the largest in the ancient world and the megalithic stone over the passageway is one of the largest stones at Giza… Although all of the pyramids and temples on the Giza Plateau are very precisely aligned with the cardinal directions, the Wall of the Crow is aligned five degrees north of due east and five degrees south of due west, in alignment with the line of ancient sites as it crosses over the Giza Plateau… the [line of ancient] sites are Easter Island, Nazca, Ollantaytambo, Tassili n’Ajjer, Siwa, Giza, Petra, Ur, Perseopolis, Mohenjo Daro, Khajuraho, Pyay, Sukothai and Angkor…
… just before dawn on the spring equinox in 11,500 B.C.
At this moment, when the angle of the three stars of Orion’s belt above the horizon matched the angle of the three pyramids at Giza, the angle of the line from Regulus to Orion’s belt is five degrees above the horizon, matching the angle of the Wall of the Crow and the azimuth of the prehistoric alignment of world wonders as it crosses over Giza.” https://www.bibliotecapleyades.net/arqueologia/worldwonders/wall.htm

Back on Giza Plateau, The Tomb of the Birds is a chamber complex with an entrance to a cave system that points back toward the center of the pyramid plaza, a newer discovery made by Andrew Collins, as told in the documentary The Lost Caves of Gizahttps://topdocumentaryfilms.com/lost-caves-giza/; It lies underground, cut into a ridge on the northwest side of the plateau, and based on the insight of Collins’s friend Rodney Hale, confirms that the Giza complex aligns to the constellation Cygnus (“the swan”) known as the Northern Cross.
Wall of the Crow in its correct orientation is on the southeast corner projecting into the existing Muslim cemetery (SE) toward a natural rock mound called Gebel Gibli, the head of the bird (Cygnus) which the ancient Egyptians would have revered as an ibis—the god Thoth/Hermes– or alternately, the Falcon/Hawk-headed god Sokar.
Gebel Gibli (below), abutting the cemetery, looking south from the direction of the Sphinx, appears to have a large opening left of center.
“Sokar (also known as Seker, and in Greek, Sokaris or Socharis) was the Memphite god of the dead, but he was also the patron of the workers who built the necropolis, the craftsmen who made tomb artefacts, and of those who made ritual objects and substances used in mummification. The meaning of his name is unclear. It may be derived from the term “skr” (meaning “cleaning the mouth”) mentioned in the Coffin Texts and in writings relating to the “Opening of the Mouth” ceremony (one of the funerary rituals)… Sokar was known by the epithet “he of Rosetau” [Rose+Tau= Red Cross, Rosicrucian]. This refers to the area around the Giza pyramids, but also related more generally to any necropolis and to the entrance to the underworld. He is also known as the “lord of the mysterious region” (the underworld) and the “great god with his two wings opened” – referring to his origins as a hawk deity… speculat[ion posits] that Rostau was located near Gebel Gibli, close to the Great Pyramid, and that an actual Tomb of Sokar is yet to be found under the sand close to the mysterious gateway and enclosure wall known as the “Wall of the Crow”. So far, no evidence has either proved or discounted this theory.” https://ancientegyptonline.co.uk/sokar/
Sokar’s role as the god of the dead was subsumed over time by Osiris as Egypt became unified.

Watch an extraordinary 2018 presentation at the Megalithomania conference by Andrew Collins explaining the ‘The Cygnus Key’:
“Johannes Kelpius was born Johann Kelp in Transylvania in 1667, near the village of Sighisoara, the birthplace of the infamous Vlad the Impaler (the inspiration for Bram Stoker’s Dracula). After the death of his father in 1684, Johann was sent by three patrons to complete his education at Bavaria’s University of Altdorf, once one of Europe’s most respected institutions… It is thought that while at the university he became acquainted with the Pietist religious movement. Pietism was initially a reaction against the formalism of orthodox Lutheranism, but spread to include a wide range of esoteric (and heretical) Christian philosophies.
One of the most charismatic figures in German Pietism was Johann Jacob Zimmerman, a brilliant mathematician, astronomer, and cleric. Zimmerman had been dismissed from his position as a Lutheran minister for preaching that the Lutheran Church was the Anti-Christ. In the years following his dismissal and subsequent exile, Zimmerman formed a small group named The Chapter of Perfection… Probably around 1692, the Chapter of Perfection received an anonymous offer of free land in Pennsylvania and free passage there. America was regarded by the young Pietists to be a land untainted by the sins of European decadence, and the ordained place to await the final drama of mankind.
In August of 1693, near the time the group was about to depart for America, Zimmerman died, leaving the young Kelpius as the group’s spiritual leader. Kelpius was determined to complete Zimmerman’s mission, and after a remarkable sea voyage, the group arrived in the infant city of Philadelphia. Eventually Kelpius led his group to a ridge above the Wissahickon gorge, one of the oldest geologic formations in North America. There along the fortieth parallel, Kelpius constructed a forty-foot square tabernacle, forty in his esoteric philosophy being a number of the highest mystical significance… They were often referred to collectively as “The Woman in the Wilderness,” likely in reference to a passage in the Biblical book of Revelation, but perhaps as a code phrase understood only by the initiated.
… Today, a small man-made cave in a remote wooded corner of Philadelphia’s Fairmount Park is considered by many to have once been the meditation cell of the young mystically-minded spiritual teacher. A stone marker beside the cave claims Kelpius as America’s first Rosicrucian master. Both the authenticity of the cave and the claim of Kelpius’s position with the Rosicrucians are not conclusive.” http://kelpius.org/biography.html

“Curia in medieval and later Latin usage means “court” in the sense of “royal court” rather than “court of law”. The Roman Curia is sometimes anglicized as the Court of Rome, as in the 1534 Act of Parliament that forbade appeals to it from England.[5] It is the papal court and assists the Pope in carrying out his functions… It is normal for every Latin Roman Catholic diocese to have its own curia for its administration…” https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Roman_Curia
“The Manhattan Appellate Courthouse is home to the Appellate Division, First Department of the New York State Supreme Court…This spectacular marble-faced Beaux Arts style courthouse is three-stories high. The front facade on 25th Street, is dominated by an imposing triangular pedimented entrance portico supported by six Corinthian columns. The Madison Avenue facade is no less striking, with a two-story flat cornice supported by four fluted Corinthian columns… The courtroom has a stained glass dome set into the gilded coffered ceiling. Like the main hall, there are spectacular marble walls, murals, and original [Herter Bros. e.g.] furniture.” https://nyc.gov/site/dcas/business/dcasmanagedbuildings/appellate-courthouse.page
A recently installed statue called NOW has temporarily taken residence atop the courthouse – her skirted twin is across the street in Madison Square Park. Part Three of the Crow series, I suggest, lines up the ‘NOW-Witness’ sculptures with the Venus brainstems—the brains of giants, eh?
The courthouse: “The collection of nine figures perched on the roof’s edge of the Appellate Division Courthouse of New York State represents history’s greatest legal thinkers. The figures include Confucius, Moses, Zoroaster, King Alfred the Great, Saint Louis, Manu, Lycurgus, Solon, and Justinian. A tenth statue depicting Lady Justice sits above the building entrance. Each of the nine statues was sculpted by a different artist, and the sculptors’ names are as impressive as their subjects. Among them are Daniel Chester French and Edward Clarke Potter who created the iconic New York Public Library lions. When the courthouse was originally built in the 1890s, the collection included a statue of Mohammad, the founder of Islam. However, in 1955, the statue was removed at the request of the Egyptian, Pakistani and Indonesian governments because Islamic law prohibits images of the prophet. The statue has been lost to time.” https://untappedcities.com/2022/09/09/rooftop-statues-new-york-city/

Madison Square Park, with gematria of 202 (or 22), ( showing approx. position of Courthouse west wall in red) has some curious art in the neighborhood:
Nihilist art is not what interests me about Madison Square Park—besides its Midtown location, my interest was piqued by following the story of West Nile Virus in 1999 that broke out in the vicinity north of Corona Park (=110, or 11) in Queens (Aug99) and spread throughout NYC (Sep99) after it was noticed for many months that birds were being poisoned in Manhattan’s parks.
Corona Park-Flushing Meadows had been home to two World’s Fairs and almost became the permanent site of the United Nations had not the Rockefeller family (under Nelson’s initiative) stepped in with a property donation: “The 11th-hour deal that put the United Nations on a midtown site long covered by East River slums and slaughter-houses came in a frantic rush on Tuesday the 10th of December 1946, just the day before the General Assembly’s deadline for decision.” https://www.nydailynews.com/new-york/william-zeckendorf-deal-brought-new-york-article-1.2949388
[Aug 12, 1999]“Someone is poisoning birds in Central Park. ‘Between Tuesday morning and yesterday afternoon, 30 pigeons, 10 sparrows, one grackle and two ducks were found dead in the park,’ the New York Times reports this morning… they can’t be certain of the cause of death, but everyone agrees that fowl play is likely. Evidently there have been signs of such bird murder since 1997.”
I included a piece of the West Nile story in EMF Killing Fields, https://jenniferlake.wordpress.com/2012/06/21/emf-killing-fields/; but my broader perspective about “bird murder since 1997” should be an addendum to the presence of Omnipoint Communications Corp—Omnipoint, which built out its wireless network in NYC in 1997, became the giant T-Mobile now modeling its New Magenta logo color. (see Part One of Corona the Crow)
[from EMF Killing Fields] Dec.1997–“In wireless, it is often said, coverage is king. Omnipoint has had its fair share of cell siting hassles. To get over objections, the carrier has placed its transceivers inside gargoyles on the facades of landmark buildings in Manhattan..”
“After the Civil War, the surrounding area became a popular waterfront resort and wealthy New Yorkers built elegant houses nearby. During 19th century industrialization at the turn of the century, the wetlands and creek flowing from Flushing Bay became an ash dump, described in 1925 as a “valley of ashes” in F. Scott Fitzgerald’s Great Gatsby…[After the Fairs in ’39 and ‘64] in 1967, the land—renamed Flushing Meadows Corona Park, now the largest in Queens—reverted to the City and was fully landscaped… This park gets its name from two adjacent communities, Flushing and Corona. Flushing, to the east, was a Dutch settlement originally called “Vlissingen,” after a city in the Netherlands. By the mid-1600s, residents had shortened the name to “Vlishing,” which would become “Flushing” with the arrival of British settlers. To the west of the park is Corona. Originally called West Flushing, it became known as Corona in the late 1800s. This name is thought to have come from Italian immigrants who moved into residences developed by the Crown Building Company.” https://www.nycgovparks.org/parks/flushing-meadows-corona-park/history
Italy… chartered by an ‘Old Catholic Orthodox’ sect:
“The Pythagorean University of Krotona, Graeca Magna, was founded by the great philosopher and mathematician Pythagoras in the fifth century before Christ. In the twentieth-century, it was re-established and chartered by the Patriarchate of Antioch in the Ancient Orthodox Catholic Church under Patriarch Moran Mar Basilius Abdullah III (Dr William Bernard Crow, 1895-1976). Dr Crow’s life and work is detailed on this page. He was both an Orthodox bishop and a distinguished scientist, holding the degree of Doctor of Science of the University of London. He was also, through the Order of the Holy Wisdom, concerned with the study of religious and supernatural belief from the origins of man onwards. His re-establishment of the Pythagorean University was for the study of the Arcane Sciences and matters cognate thereto, and that continues to be its function today.” https://san-luigi.org/scholarship/the-pythagorean-university-of-krotona/
“The name Morocco comes from the Berber word “amerruk”, diminutive of “amurakuc” which means “land of god”. It is also the original name of “Marrakech”. Before mentioning the name “Morocco”, one spoke of the Maghreb Al Aqsa, that is to say the extreme western Maghreb (“Al Maghrib” the setting, “Al Aqsa” extreme), at the time of the Arab conquests, around 700 AD. Before that, about 2000 years ago, at the time of the Romans, there was talk of Mauritania, the country of the Moors (western Maghreb), “mauri” in Latin meaning Berber of Mauritania, or Numidia (Maghreb in general), with its Numidians (nomadic or semi-sedentary). When the Maghreb was not yet subdivided, i.e. at the time of the Phoenician and Carthaginian comptoirs, Ifriqiya with the people of the Libyans corresponded to the whole of North Africa, from Libya to present-day Morocco.” https://www.alksar.com/en/berbers-in-morocco/
*
“Berber history goes back to prehistoric times. In fact, Morocco is home to the oldest Homo Sapiens ever found — nearly 300,000 years old!… The Berbers proudly call themselves the Amazigh, the ‘free people.’ The name ‘Berber’ derives from ‘Barbary,’ that is, from the Greek barbaria… Thousands of years ago, the Amazigh ruled all of North Africa, largely through different tribes. They would crisscross over the Sahara and throughout the southern basin of the Mediterranean for trade and travel. Over the centuries, they have been called by many names: The ancient Greeks called them ‘Libyans’; Romans called them variously “Numidians,” and ‘Africans’ while much of medieval Europe referred to this collection of tribes in North Africa as ‘Moors.’ …”Located in the deep south of Morocco, the Draa Valley stretches from the city of Ouarzazate into the Sahara Desert. The Draa Valley is a stunning oasis home to Berber villages, sumptuous Kasbahs, streaming sand dunes, lush green plains, snow-capped Atlas Mountains, endless stretches of palm trees and the Draa, Morocco’s largest river… The beauty of the Draa Valley is not its only geographical richness; the valley has thousands of years of history, evidenced by the ancient cave paintings and carvings found in the area. It was in the Draa Valley where archeologists found the statuette of Venus of Tan-Tan, one of the oldest prehistoric sculptures ever discovered. Moreover, the Draa Valley was once an important transit point on the trans-Saharan caravan trading routes, as well as an important trading center for Jewish, Arab, Berber and Christian civilizations.” https://www.journeybeyondtravel.com/blog/draa-valley-imorocco.html
Venus of Tan Tan (back view) estimated to be 300,000 to 500,000 years old
“The Tan-Tan figurine was discovered during an archaeological survey by Lutz Fiedler, state archaeologist of Hessen, Germany, in a river terrace deposit on the north bank of the River Draa a few kilometers south of the Moroccan town of Tan-Tan. The lowest sediments contain red sands and pebbles and yields stone tools of typical Early Acheulian character. This layer is followed by an approximately 12 metre (40 feet) sequence of alluvial gravels, sands, and finer fractions of varying compositions, the lower part of which contains a rich industry of the Middle Acheulian, free of specimens of Levallois technique. (The “Late Acheulean” is characterized by a new technique known as the Levallois (pronounced: “lev-uh-wah” or “leh-vah-wah”) emerged. It was distinct enough to warrant a separate technique name, but similar enough to traditional Acheulean tools such that a separate tool industry or culture was not assigned. The Levallois technique of the Acheulean Tool Industry/Culture dates from roughly 300 000 years ago to around 125 000 years ago . While Homo erectus made traditional Acheulean tools, the new Levallois technique is associated with the earliest Archaic Homo sapiens. Levallois tools were still hand axes; the difference is how they were manufactured: the Levallois technique represents the first attempt at mass production and standardization.) Text in italics from: http://people.uncw.edu/albertm/ant210fall02/hstools01.htm The figurine is from this horizon, around 1.5 m above its base or 15 m below the plain’s eroded surface.”

“There is wisdom in a raven’s head.” – Gaelic Proverb
Part Three of Corona the Crow aims to extend the mythic and occulted presence of crows and ravens in our lives with an emphasis on art and symbol as it informs this timeless affinity with the birds. We give these creatures the highest possible rank, above our own, in literal and tangible ways that unfold a story about ourselves in their world of shadows and light. To explain it, we’ll look at brain anatomy for the bird brainwithin and some of the oldest known portable figurative artwork ever found known as ‘Venus figurines’ that lay claim to an age of 300,000 years and older. The challenge will be to rediscover The Muse for yourself and become the curator of your own experience on a journey to ‘seership.’
Along the way, I’m carrying the ‘code’ of numbers, presented in Part Two, with notation that looks like an equal(=56/11)sign in bold with a parenthetical number set. The purpose is to convey a greater complexity of communication for those cultivating “eyes to see,” needing only some scratch paper, a pencil, and a will(=56/11) to proceed. The numbers following select words are the simple sums of English gematria, the letter values of the alphabet (A=1, B=2,C=3…) that bring unseen correspondences to light describing patterns in added dimensions of space, time, and meaning—mind-science in basic math that gives structure to reality. The knowing of added dimensions, I believe, can bring harmony, counterpoint, and complexity of the irregular into one’s field of vision(=88) and attention. Some people call it mindfulness. I think of it as a fertile state of receptivity, filling the holey(=65/11) voids with spirited substance. That said, the quality and quantity of art and artifice filling our holey voids are acts of supreme religious significance, “but assume that religion ought not to be defined in any precise sense” adds Robert Graves. “…can any definition of the word religion be made that is practically relevant to a solution of the present political problems?…The dictionaries give its etymology as ‘doubtful’…[and an] alternative spelling relligio…can be formed only from the phrase rem legere, ‘to choose, or pick, the right thing’…” –pp477-478, The White Goddess. Mindfulness(=136) we’re advised, is a precondition of choosing the right thing.
“The bird brain has been an enigma for years. We now know that avian neurobiology got off on the wrong foot in the late 1800s…[when] biologists were greatly influenced by Darwin’s theory of evolution and Aristotle’s Scala Naturae… We now know that the brain cells (neurons) in the avian pallium [cerebral cortex] are nearly identical to the neurons in the mammalian neocortex… New studies show that birds have more brain cells (neurons) in their pallia than mammals do in theirs. The most intelligent bird groups, songbirds and parrots, have twice as many neurons as primate brains of the same mass. Corvids and large-brained parrots have even more. It is suggested that the large numbers of neurons concentrated in high densities in the pallium substantially contribute to the neural basis of avian intelligence… After a century of being misunderstood and kept in the dark, birds are finally being recognized for having brains with significant cognitive function that rivals or surpasses some primates.” https://www.birdwatchingdaily.com/news/science/science-understands-birds-brains/
“In the past few decades, scientists have learned that the basis of everything they thought they knew about bird brains—that they were largely comprised of the most primitive and instinctual of brain structures—was wrong. Fully 75 percent of the brains of parrots, hummingbirds, and thousands of other species of songbirds is actually made up of a sophisticated information processing system that works much the same way as the locus of human higher-mindedness, the cerebral cortex.” https://www.pbs.org/wgbh/nova/sciencenow/3214/03-brain.html
“All corvids have disproportionately large heads accommodating large brains that endow these birds with exceptional memory and intelligence… Yes, dolphins and people have considerably larger brains relative to their body size than any bird, even the smartest corvid or parrot. But the relative brain size of crows and ravens is more similar to that of mammals, including most primates, than to other birds. Mentally, crows and ravens are more like flying monkeys than they are like other birds.”—p40, In the Company of Crows and Ravens, by John M. Marzluff and Tony Angell.
Note in AG’s labyrinth below the tree of a raven pair in the center (top). This drawing evokes the many-fold brain matter surrounding the core, with a flying monkey at the gate.
The United States, at its revolutionary founding, has a distinction in time and place as a creation of scientific humanist thinkers. We might take issue with the occulted freemasonic messaging, but the markers adorn the labyrinths in plain sight. I would suggest that Washington D.C. itself was chosen and mapped in the shape of a human brain.
‘Cut’ from the DC capital blueprint at the diagonal northern Boundary line is the ‘cerebral cortex’ of a real brain which might suggest an ‘empty cup’ for a new nation to fill.
The ‘brain map’ of Washington appears in the first minute of a 3 hour documentary entitled ‘Riddles in Stone’[https://topdocumentaryfilms.com/riddles-in-stone/ ]–flagged, as I see it, by the actor who leaves his left hand on the map with his index finger pointing to the ‘downtown’ in three separate successive shots of the map scene. The importance of the indicator reveals the alignment of the blueprint with the inner structure of the brainstem. Later at minute 1:02 (62 minutes) of the same program, a ceiling panel in the Library of Congress is shown with a crow-inspired image, inscribed with a Latin phrase.
–inscription: Sub umbra alarum tuarum protégé nos— from [KJV]Psalm 17:8
…[RSV] Psalms 17:8 (full text) –“Keep me as the apple of the eye; hide me in the shadow of thy wings…”
The monumental Library of Congress, largest in the world for its time, was built in the 1890s when the elite of the US were steeped in Gilded Age prosperity and ‘Spiritualism’. The Library’s interior was principally overseen by architect Edward Pearce Casey, son of the chief engineer, who replaced the original architects Smithmeyer & Pelz. Casey had more than 50 artists and sculptors under his nominal supervision. The doors opened November 1, 1897 during the early administration of President William McKinley, assassinated in office September 1901. https://www.politico.com/story/2016/11/library-of-congress-opens-its-doors-nov-1-1897-230513
On the landscape, the Library’s ‘Jefferson Building’ is situated ‘above’ the Capitol (=76/13) ‘bird, ’ which I’m proposing is not an owl but a White Goddess, Mother of All. “She” is the brain core (diencephalon) depicted by the greens and central structure of the bicameral meeting halls, topped with a ‘pineal’ dome. The normal orientation of the head of the bird is laying to the east. In this map below, I’ve upturned the crossbar of the national Mall(=38/11) from east/west (‘on the level’) to north/south. The Library is part of the ‘hood’ that surrounds the Capitol.
A first glance of the map and a sitting ‘Venus’ together may not convince you that they are both representations of the brainstem. Venus figurines in particular demonstrate a great variety of styles, but none are depicting actual women and their likeness to real birds is doubtful. Among the 200 or so catalogued Venuses, some are headless, pinheaded, or have two heads, and some even have three. A few, I would argue, are not ‘Venuses’ at all. There are examples of the youngest being the crudest, and the oldest as most refined. They come from all parts of the world and date to all epochs of human habitation, the bulk of them dating within the historical Bronze Age because that’s where we look for the story of civilization. But the impression of Venuses in the aggregate, across time and space, is what most tells a story of the “sacred feminine” as the creator within whose curvy shape and bulbous glands reside at the top of the spinal column.
Brain diagrams can vary in style and aspect virtually as much as the figurines being compared and this is part of the mystery of the Venuses. Additionally, not all appear to be simulating human brains. Totem animal brains are just as likely describing variations in our ‘V’s. It would take expert analysis and access to the range of available artifacts to shape a proper hypothesis about the cultures that produced them—beyond the scope of this post. Nevertheless, a few examples suffice to raise the question.
Here’s a general shape comparison of brain anatomy.
Is ‘she’ a lovely bird brain? Estimated to be 25,000 years old: “It was discovered in 1922 in the Rideaux cave of Lespugue (Haute-Garonne) in the foothills of the Pyrenees by René de Saint-Périer (1877-1950). Approximately 6 inches (150 mm) tall, it is carved from tuskivory, and was damaged during excavation… Venus of Lespugue, if the reconstruction is sound, appears to display the most exaggerated female secondary sexual characteristics, especially the extremely large, pendulous breasts. According to textile expert Elizabeth Wayland Barber,[1] the statue displays the earliest representation found of spun thread, as the carving shows a skirt hanging from below the hips, made of twisted fibers, frayed at the end.” https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Venus_of_Lespugue
Skirt Theory anyone?
The latest Venus Theory to make news, published in 2020, suggests that ‘feminine’ wisdom from the ancients encouraged packing on body fat in times of climate change(=101):
“A new theory about the iconic Venus figurines has suggested that the sculptures represent how climate change affected humans over 30,000 years ago… The Venus figurines are statuettes depicting obese women that, up until now, were thought to have been associated with fertility and beauty. A recent study published in “Obesity” has suggested instead that the figurines are totems of survival in extreme conditions… Fat is a form of stored energy, said study author Dr. Richard Johnson…professor of medicine at the University of Colorado…and that fat can be lifesaving when food is not available…The researchers took waist-hip and waist-shoulder measurements of all known Venus figurines, which were found over hundreds of years across Europe and western Russia. After comparing the measurements to the geographical locations of where each sculpture was found, the team discovered that the more obese figurines were found further north near the glaciers. The further the figurines were from the glaciers, Johnson said, the less pronounced their body proportions were… “Our studies emphasize how climate change likely had profound effects on human culture and art, and that culture, through art, encoded desired behaviors for survival,” Johnson said… In the case of the Venus figurines, Johnson proposed that they were passed on from mothers to daughters for survival during the winter….” https://www.cnn.com/style/article/venus-figurines-theory-scn/index.html
CNN ‘style’ may have the scientific spin on turning the birds, but the most enduring theory about Venus figurines remains a notion that they are toys. Further trivialization like ‘skirt’ theory and ‘fat’ theory not only lead to wrong questions but rob our cultural endowments of an intellectual and spiritual heritage from far distant time. An example of academic resistance to broader horizons is the experience of archaeoastronomer Chantal Jegues-Wolkiewiez in her studies of Paleolithic cave art, recounted in the documentary Prehistoric Astronomershttps://vimeo.com/69245120 On Summer Soltice eve, CJ-W observed, natural sunlight floods the ‘gallery’ of Lascaux cave illuminating the painted ‘zodiac’ as it does in other painted caves, revealing star and planet alignments in the form of animals with great accuracy. “I was stunned” said Chantal who has spent more than a decade roaming the Pyrenees and other mountainous terrain of Europe exploring the rock art. The Lascaux gallery is a younger creation at 15,000 years old than many of the most distinctive Venuses showing their brains.
Another Stone Age find from France in the Grotte du Pape(=38/11), or Cave of the Pope in the nearby Pyrenees village of Brassempouy, turned up one of the most remarkable Venuses: ‘Lady with a Hood’, estimated at 25,000 years old. The humanness of the Brassempouy Venus is a ‘no-brainer,’ right? The speculation runs to her race and headgear. Eight figurines were found in the cave with the Lady-head and one of them is offered as a probable sample of her body, but like all the others known and unknown, little is ever revealed to the public. No reconstruction with a body or comparison of figures is proffered. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Venus_of_Brassempouy
Lady with a Hood, Brassempouy France, 25,000 yr-old carving made from mammoth tusk
Determined to be of Gravettian culture, it’s difficult to tell if the Lady from Brassempouy is Neanderthal or Cro-magnon. The deeper features visible in overhead lighting show qualities of both and coexistence in Europe for 20,000 years or more is now generally accepted. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gravettian
“The earliest known Cro-Magnon remains are between 35,000 and 45,000 years old,[1][2] based on radiometric dating. The oldest remains, from 43,000 – 45,000 years ago, were found in Italy[2] and Britain.[3] Other remains also show that Cro-Magnons reached the RussianArctic about 40,000 years ago.[4][5] Cro-Magnons had powerful bodies, which were usually heavy and solid with strong muscles. Unlike Neanderthals, which had slanted foreheads, the Cro-Magnons had straight foreheads, like modern humans. Their faces were short and wide with a large chin. Their brains were slightly larger than the average human’s is today.[6][7] The name ‘Cro-Magnon’ was created by Louis Lartet, who discovered the first Cro-Magnon skull in southwestern France in 1868. He called the place where he found the skull Abri de Cro-Magnon.[8]Abri means ‘rock shelter’ in French;[8]cro means ‘hole’ in the Occitan language;[9] and ‘Magnon’ was the name of the person who owned the land where Lartet found the skull.[10] Basically, Cro-Magnon means ‘rock shelter in a hole on Magnon’s land.’ This is why scientists now use the term ‘European early modern humans’ instead of ‘Cro-Magnons.’ In taxonomy, the term ‘Cro-Magnon’ means nothing…” https://simple.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cro-Magnon
…but more to the point, “cro means ‘hole’ “…
hole (n.)
“Old English hol (adj.) “hollow, concave;” as a noun, “hollow place; cave; orifice; perforation,” from Proto-Germanic *hulan (source also of Old Saxon, Old Frisian, Old High German hol, Middle Dutch hool, Old Norse holr, German hohl “hollow,” Gothic us-hulon “to hollow out”), from PIE root *kel- (1) “to cover, conceal, save.” https://www.etymonline.com/word/hole
An Occitan internet translator today does not return the word hole for ‘cro’ but the word crown. Perhaps the meaning is buried in a more ancient use and confabulation of written and spoken language. The ‘oc’ in Occitan means ‘yes,’ according to language resources, altered to ‘aq,’or drawn from ‘aq’, describing the Pyrenees region by its more familiar name of Aquitaine (Occitania). ‘Yes’ for English speakers equates to assent, homophone to ascent, and certainly descriptive of the raised hills riddled with holey caves. ‘Aq’ means water in Latin (common to mountain caves as rock water and springs) but can otherwise mean ‘height’ or pinnacle and ‘farthest’ in Near Eastern use, cognate with ‘kel-2’. A thousand years ago, Occitan was the written language known as Languedoc (lenga d’oc), attributed to the troubadours emerging from the Middle Ages whose traditions brought the ‘Grail Romances’ to Europe, popularized in medieval stories of Arthur and the people of l’aq. Occitan appears to be the source of the words ‘occipital’ (posterior skull bone) and ‘ram’ meaning branch or trunk of a tree. The word brain in Occitan– cervel or cerveau— is the same as modern French, cerveau, which we might recognize as a ‘crow’ word (from Part One: curb (corb),curve, crevice, service) with the understanding that ancient European manuscripts made indistinguishable marks for ‘b’ and ‘v’, a practice that can be noticed in differences of spelling between French and Spanish. Corb is Occitan for crow or raven without distinctions between them. Modern medical terminology affirms Occitanian cerveau and ‘cervico’ identifies the brain and neck, respectively.
The occipital suture is called the lambdoid suture and the area where it meets the parietal bones at the sagittal sutures is called lambda, taken in name and symbol from the 11th Greek letter Lambda with gematria of 30. “Lambda is derived from the Phoenician Lamed. Lambda gave rise to the LatinL and the CyrillicEl (Л). The ancient grammarians and dramatists give evidence to the pronunciation as [laːbdaː] (λάβδα) in Classical Greek times.” https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lambda
We are getting much closer now to the pagan and syncretic roots of mystic Christendom in northwestern Europe by assessing the symbolic meaning of Venus figurines in the context of brain and skull anatomy. A final ‘language’ association I’ll offer for this post is presented in the Britannica version of the Celtic/Welsh ‘Raven’ god Bran, who is much referenced by Robert Graves in The White Goddess (bold emphasis is mine):
“Brân, (Celtic: “Raven”), gigantic Celtic deity who figured in the Mabinogion (a collection of medieval Welsh tales) as “crowned king over this Island” (i.e., Britain). Because of his stature, he and his court had to live in a tent, as no house had ever been built large enough to contain him. The most important aspect of Brân’s myth concerned his wondrous severed head. The ancient Celts worshiped the human head and believed it to be the seat of the soul, capable of independent life after the death of the body. They thought that it possessed powers of prophecy and was symbolic of fertility. They also believed that one of its functions was to provide entertainment in the otherworld.
“According to the myth, Brân had been mortally wounded and requested his companions to cut off his head. He instructed them to take the head with them on their wanderings, telling them that it would not only provide them with marvelous entertainment and companionship but would also remain uncorrupted as long as they refrained from opening a certain forbidden door. If that door were opened, they would find themselves back in the real world and would remember all their sorrows. Eventually, they were to take the head and bury it on the White Mount in London. All happened as Brân had prophesied, and his companions passed 80 joyous and delightful years. The head was buried in London, where it kept away all invaders from Britain until it was finally unearthed. Brân is also the hero of The Voyage of Brân (seeimram).” https://www.britannica.com/topic/Bran-Celtic-god
*Note that the ‘little hat’ accent (called a circumflex) is used with the ‘a’ in Bran meaning the pronunciation has been altered from its original sound (or spelling) –would the original sound be the long ‘a’ sound in Raven, making ‘Bran’ a homophone to the word brain? https://www.lawlessfrench.com/pronunciation/circumflex/
“…At one time, brain was pronounced with g in the middle (its modern trace is i in -ai–; German has Bregen), a circumstance that justified the comparison Bregen ~ brain ~ bregma. The most ancient form of brain must have sounded approximately like bragna. And this is also how bran allegedly sounded millennia ago. Engl. bran is a borrowed word, though its source remains a matter of debate…” https://blog.oup.com/2007/02/why_is_the_brai/
On the far west peninsula of Cornwall (Land’s End) stands the mound of Bran’s Hill, Caer Bran, dated as a hill fort of the late Bronze Age (c.2500-2000 BC). The nearest village by walking trail is called Brane, perhaps confirming and preserving the pronunciation of Bran’s name.
The settlement of Brane is known for the nearby constructions of a uniquely small burial mound and a larger Neolithic stone-lined tunnel called a fogou, of which only a dozen in Europe have reportedly been found: “Fogous’ central locations inside settlements and the work that evidently went into constructing them indicates their importance to the community, but their original purpose is no longer known.” https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fogou . Mounds from the region, however, offer some insight into these artificial caves as further renderings on the landscape of depicted brains. The Halliggye Fogou chamber, below left, is named ‘Holy’ fogou, clarifying its purpose as sacred. The image on the right is a tabletop model of the Celli Dhu mound (‘bryn’(=59=’crow’), cognate with ‘bran’) in Wales, cutaway to show the internal passage design. Notice in the top half of the model that the central green mound does not fill the outer rock border, suggesting a square pyramid-like base.
More than the mounds, I conjecture, the Venus or goddess figurines give us some indication of the great antiquity and ubiquity of brain worship as the light of the mind.
Robert Graves writes of Bran(=35/8): “The Bran cult seems also to have imported from the Aegean. There are remarkable resemblances between him and the Pelasgian hero Aesculapius who, like the chieftain Coronus (‘crow’) killed by Hercules, was a king of the Thessalian crow-totem tribe of Lapiths. Aesculapius [Asklepius] was a Crow on both sides of the family: his mother was Coronis (‘crow’), probably a title of the Goddess Athene to whom the crow was sacred. Tatian, the Church Father, in his Address to the Greeks, suggests a mother and son relationhip between Athene and Aesculapius… Aesculapius’s father was Apollo whose famous shrine of Tempe stood in Lapith territory and to whom the crow was also sacred; and Apollo is described as the father of another Coronus, King of Sicyon in Sicily. The legend of Aesculapius is that after a life devoted to healing, he raised Glaucus, son of Sisyphus the Corinthian, from the dead, and was burned to cinders by Zeus in a fit of jealousy…Bran was likewise destroyed by his jealous enemy Evnissyen, a comrade of Matholwch King of Ireland to whom he had given a magical cauldron for raising dead soldiers to life… Apollo was not at that time a Sun-god, but an Underworld oracular hero.” –pp52-53, The White Goddess.
“Athena[b] or Athene,[c] [with two ‘e’s=53/8] often given the epithetPallas,[d] is an ancient Greek goddess associated with wisdom, warfare, and handicraft[1] who was later syncretized with the Roman goddessMinerva… In Greek mythology, Athena was believed to have been born from the forehead of her father Zeus… Since the Renaissance, Athena has become an international symbol of wisdom, the arts, and classical learning. Western artists and allegorists have often used Athena as a symbol of freedom and democracy.” https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Athena . “The most ancient talismanic effigies of Athena”, Ruck and Staples report, “were magical found objects, faceless pillars of Earth in the old manner, before the Goddess was anthropomorphized and given form through the intervention of human intellectual meddling… The goddess Athena was worshipped on the Acropolis of Athens under many names and cults, the most illustrious of which was of the Athena Poliás, “protectress of the city”. The cult image of the Poliás was a wooden effigy, often referred to as the “xóanon diipetés” (the “carving that fell from heaven”)… Its presence was last mentioned by the Church FatherTertullian who described it derisively as nothing but “a rough stake, a shapeless piece of wood“.[19] Earlier descriptions of the statue have not survived. ” https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Palladium_(classical_antiquity)
The Neolithic ivory Venus from ‘Malta’, first on the left, looks like a probable ‘rough stake‘ Athena
More of the Malta type from the Upper Paleolithic period (approx..45,000-15,000 BCE) come from a Siberian site called Mal’ta-Buret, named for two locations near Lake Baikal on an interconnected river system. The Siberian Malta venuses below are made from mammoth tusk and reindeer antler, dating to about 18,000 years BP. https://www.donsmaps.com/malta.html
What seems to distinguish ‘Malta’ from other paleolithic venus figurines is the human qualities of heads with hair or hoods, faces and arms. Similar to the refined and older Lady with a Hood from Brassempouy, these human-headed figures may be depicting the diencephalon which is flanked by the curving fornix/hippocampus (‘arms’) and covered by the corpus callosum. “The corpus callosum is only found in placental mammals…” https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Corpus_callosum .
Our ‘bird ladies’, by contrast, appear to be shaped by bird brain gross anatomy. The oldest central European venus unearthed to date is approx. 42,000 years old, found in the Jura Mountain range of southern Germany (Swabia) at the Hohle Fels (‘hollow rock’) cave along with a flute– to my eyes, ‘she’ is a bird brain.

Athene, favorite daughter of Zeus, is known for wearing a large helmet of invisibility: “In classical mythology, the Cap of Invisibility (Ἅϊδος κυνέη (H)aïdos kyneē in Greek, lit. dog-skin of Hades) is a helmet or cap that can turn the wearer invisible,[1] also known as the Cap of Hades or Helm of Hades.[2] Wearers of the cap in Greek myths include Athena, the goddess of wisdom, the messenger god Hermes, and the hero Perseus. Those wearing the Cap become invisible to other supernatural entities, akin to a cloud of mist sometimes used to remain undetectable…” https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cap_of_invisibility
Athene’s cap bears a striking comparison to the brain’s corpus callosum.
Athene’s cap is equated to the Veil of Isis, being the same White Goddess originating in Greece: “The first mention of the veil of Isis appears in On Isis and Osiris, a philosophical interpretation of ancient Egyptian religion by Plutarch, a Greek writer in the late first and early second centuries CE. Plutarch wrote of a seated statue of a goddess in the Egyptian city of Sais that bore the inscription “I am all that has been and is and shall be; and no mortal has ever lifted my mantle.” Plutarch identified the goddess as “Athena, whom [the Egyptians] consider to be Isis.” According to Graves, “Queen Isis, daughter of King Inachus, [came] from Greece to Egypt… Inachus, a river-god and legendary king of Argos, was the father both of the Goddess Io, who became Isis when she reached Egypt, and of the hero Phoroneus, founder of the Pelasgian [pre-Greek] race, who has been already identified with the God Bran, alias Cronos.” –p233, The White Goddess. One can see that the totem bird on Athene’s Corinthian coin is not an owl, but more resembles a crow. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ancient_Corinth
Wikipedia’s citation for ‘Veil of Isis’ is inaccurate, in my opinion, but worth the pictures. I’ve added more conceptually correct words in brackets : “The veil of Isis is a metaphor [depiction] and allegoricalartistic motif in whichnature [the brain] is personified as the goddessIsis covered by a veil or mantle, representing the inaccessibility of nature’s [the mind’s] secrets. It is often combined with a related motif, in which nature [the brain] is portrayed as a goddess with multiple breasts who represents Isis, Artemis [=Athene] or a combination of both.” https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Veil_of_Isis
Wikipedia’s picture references for Veil of Isis: On the left is a statue given to Herbert Hoover in 1922 and later installed at his Iowa birthplace: “Visitors to the Herbert Hoover Presidential Library-Museum and the Herbert Hoover National Historic Site who have made the short walk to the Birthplace Cottage will have encountered the seven and a half foot tall statue of Isis…[that] was a gift to Herbert Hoover from the Belgian people in gratitude for his work directing the Commission forRelief in Belgium during World War I. The statue was originally located on the campus of Stanford University in California until it was moved to West Branch in 1939…” https://hoover.blogs.archives.gov/2015/08/18/isis-the-wandering-goddess/ ; Hoover, raised as a Quaker, became a Californian to attend the new Stanford University, graduating with the first student class. At some point during his early years in government service, he became a Bohemian Grove habitue maintaining his status and nickname of ‘chief’ with the gathered subdivision called ‘Cave Man Camp’. On the right (Animal Anatomy) the goddess image is a distinctively human brainstem with its thalamus ‘head’ being exposed under the corpus callosum veil. Her multiple breasts correspond to the colliculi which protrude beneath the pineal gland (shown red, below in posterior view) which this engraving depicts as a ‘sun’– a madonna-and-child motif in many of the Bronze Age figurines, including statues of Isis and Horus.
The Bird’s Eye
A small sampling of three venuses (below) from pre-dynastic Egypt—the First Dynasty is dated to 3100BC– is suggestive of eyesight within the brain. The first bird-headed goddess with upturned arms evokes the Eye-of-Horus in addition to the hippocampus ; the other two bearing humanoid features, have small wrapped arms crossing the midsection—these arms suggest the optic tract that criss-crosses the anterior brainstem and wrap around the midbrain toward the (colliculi) frontof the goddess lying posterior on the brainstem (facing the occipital visual cortex).
…”Birds can see ultraviolet (UV) light because, unlike humans, their lenses and other ocular media transmit UV, and they possess a class of photoreceptor which is maximally sensitive to violet or UV light, depending on the species. Birds have a tetrachromatic color space, as compared to the trichromacy of humans…” https://www.researchgate.net/publication/248198362_Ultraviolet_Vision_in_Birds
“Bird brains are not entirely like our brains… We know that the forebrain is important to learning and memory because it is largest in birds that excel in learning tests… Another portion of the forebrain known as the hippocampus may be most important in spatial memory. In many corvids…the hippocampus is huge. It may even expand during the autumn when caching [food] is common… Large forebrains do more than aid with spatial memory. They also allow corvids to discriminate finely among similar objects, live in rapidly changing environments, and enhance their social lives… Common Ravens show an ability to imagine an outcome… If a caching Common Raven is being watched, it will try to fake-out the would-be cache-robber with false probes…or simply sneaking out of sight. Apes are also flexible [in] forming alliances or deceiving to achieve a desired outcome…where natural selection favors individuals that can learn, remember, and adjust.” –pp42-47, In the Company of Crows and Ravens, 2005, Marzluff and Angell
Will we learn from the birds?
[2017] “Current interpretations of hippocampal memory function are blind to the fact that viewing behaviors are pervasive and complicate the relationships among perception, behavior, memory, and brain activity… This new perspective on hippocampal function harmonizes with the fact that memory formation and exploratory viewing are tightly intertwined.”https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/abs/pii/S1364661317301092
Eye of Horus: symbols of the Science of Light
“The wavelength of light, which is related to frequency and energy, determines the perceived color… The edges of the visible light spectrum blend into the ultraviolet and infrared levels of radiation… The order of wavelengths can be remembered by the mnemonic “Roy G Biv” for red, orange, yellow, green, blue, indigo (the blue/violet border), and violet… The human eye and brain can distinguish many more colors than those of the spectrum. Purple and magenta are the brain’s way of bridging the gap between red and violet… Among humans, there is variation between how far into red and violet the eye can see. Most animals that can see ultraviolet can’t see infrared…” https://www.thoughtco.com/the-visible-light-spectrum-2699036 “A black light gives off highly energetic ultraviolet light. You can’t see this part of the spectrum, which is how “black” lights got their name. Fluorescent substances absorb the ultraviolet light and then re-emit it almost instantaneously. Some energy gets lost in the process, so the emitted light has a longer wavelength than the absorbed radiation, which makes this light visible and causes the material to appear to glow. Fluorescent molecules tend to have rigid structures and delocalized electrons. [For example] The bitter flavoring of tonic water is due to the presence of quinine, which glows blue-white when placed under a black light… Vitamin A and the B vitamins thiamine, niacin, and riboflavin are strongly fluorescent… Chlorophyll makes plants green, but it also fluoresces a blood red color… Fluorescent rocks include fluorite, calcite, gypsum, ruby, talc, opal, agate, quartz, and amber… Many body fluids contain fluorescent molecules… Some of the proteins within a jellyfish are intensely fluorescent…” https://www.thoughtco.com/what-glows-under-a-black-light-607615
“Ultraviolet light (UV), which ranges from 10 to 400 nanometers, is not detectable to the human eye. Yet, new research from the University of Georgia found that people can see ultraviolet light, and the health implications may be significant. In a [2017] study recently published in PLOS One, co-authors Billy R. Hammond and Lisa Renzi-Hammond show that 100 percent of the participants, all young adults, were able to detect an isolated UV peak at 315 nm. ‘Every textbook that is written on vision, optometry, ophthalmology, introduction to psychology, sensation and perception all say the same thing, that humans cannot see ultraviolet light. We have now shown otherwise,’ said Renzi-Hammond.” https://publichealth.uga.edu/uga-study-finds-people-can-see-uv-light-opens-questions-about-consequences-for-eye-health/ —this ‘public health’ report about seeing UV is couching the implications of seeing UV in the negative to eye health, but I entreat you to watch and listen to the video linked below, “Immortality and Time Travel” and the value of UV energy to your mind’s eye.
“Our lenses typically block out UV, but people who have lost their lenses to surgeries or accidents can perceive UV as whitish blue. This happened to the painter Claude Monet, who lost his left lens at the age of 82. He began seeing the UV light that reflects off water lilies, and started painting them as whitish blue instead of white. Monet aside, most people can’t see UV, which probably explains why scientists were so eager to believe that the ability was rare. In fact, the opposite is true. Most animals that can see color can see UV. It’s the norm… For us, UV feels enigmatic and intoxicating. It’s an invisible hue lying just on the edge of our vision—a perceptual void that our imaginations are keen to fill. Scientists have often attributed special or secret significance to it, treating it as a channel for covert communication… They might eventually realize that it is just another color, special mainly in its absence from their vision. And they might wonder what it would be like to add it to their Umwelt, bolstering their three dimensions of color with a fourth.” https://www.sciencefriday.com/articles/ultraviolet-light-animals/
Time(=47/11), conventionally, is the Fourth Dimension(=190). In Corona the Crow part two, I picked up the theme of Time with a decoding of the movie Back to the Future and its correspondence to the number ’19,’ a calendar-associated number, and the variety of ‘ones’ and ‘nines’ in conjunction with signal events. But Time, dissociated from calendars, is a broader concept in physics that incorporates quantum functions, specifically in optical devices known as “time crystals.” The Magenta messaging as a fourth dimension color code seems to be the ‘secret communication’ taking place across the digital media spectrum, happening before our very eyes, elaborated on by the phenomenal researcher Stephers in her brilliantly sequenced thesis “World Building, One Magenta Beacon at a Time”: http://web.archive.org/web/20220824022004/https://pieceofmindful.com/2022/07/20/w0rldbu1ld1ng-one-magenta-beacon-at-a-time/
A discussion of time crystals and quantum dots in the manifest technology disseminating in Covid-19 injection fluid is a not-to-miss video interview by Maria Zeee and her guests Karen Kingston and Dr. Ana Maria Mihalcea. I highly recommend pausing to read the patents presented by Karen K. Vaxxed and unvaxxed alike display the technology in their blood samples. https://rumble.com/v1xjnf6-covid-is-a-technological-and-biological-weapon-hybrid-to-introduce-mind-con.html
[patent excerpt, minute34, 35] “Semiconductor nanocrystals (also known as quantum dot particles) whose radii are smaller than the bulk exciton Bohr radius constitute a class of materials intermediate between molecular and bulk forms of matter. Quantum confinement of both the electron and hole in all three dimensions leads to an increase in the effective band gap of the material with decreasing crystallite size. Consequently, both the optical absorption and emission of [the] semiconductor nanocrystals shift to the blue (higher energies) as the size of the nanocrystal gets smaller… The terms ‘semiconductor nanocrystal,’ ‘quantum dot’ and ‘Qdot nanocrystal’ are used interchangeably herein to refer to semiconductor nanoparticles composed of an inorganic crystalline material that is luminescent (i.e. they are capable of emitting electromagnetic radiation upon excitation) and include an inner core of one or more first semiconductor materials that is optionally contained within an overcoating or ‘shell’ of a second semiconductor material…” [patent excerpt minute 38:56–] “By ‘luminescence’ is meant the process of emitting electromagnetic radiation (light) from an object. Luminescence results when a system undergoes a transition from an excited state to a lower energy state with a corresponding release of energy in the form of a photon. These energy states can be electronic, vibrational, rotational, or any combination thereof… The external source of energy can be of a variety of types including chemical, thermal, electrical, magnetic, electromagnetic, and physical [mechanical], or any other type of energy source capable of causing a system to be excited into a state higher in energy than the ground state… The energy of the photons emitted during luminescence can be in a range from low-energy microwave radiation to high-energy x-ray radiation. Typically luminescence refers to photons in the range from UV to IR radiation. [oo64] The nanoparticles of the invention may also be metallic. Such particles are useful, for example, in surface-enhanced Raman scattering (SERS) which employs nanometer-sized particles onto which Raman active moieties (e.g. a dye or pigment…) are adsorbed or attached…”
