Apocalypse-Synching: Babylon is Drowning

Another wild week in our ongoing apocalypse, no? It turns out that it was all preceded by some of the usual shenanigans from some of the usual suspects.

Predictably, NASA -- in reality an occult priesthood with an unlimited budget -- kicked off the apocalyptic festivities on the 24th, with this dick-kickingly blatant ritual adoration of the old gods in the Utah desert. 

Bonus factoid: the Dugway Proving Ground - where this working was performed - was a former testing ground for chemical and biological weapons of mass destruction. 

"Former" in air quotes.

In case you thought this so-called mission was anything but a very expensive ritual working, have a look at the meaning of the so-called acronyms of the OSIRIS missions:

OSIRIS-REx and OSIRIS-APEX are acronyms, and each letter or combination of letters relates to part of the respective projects: 

    O – Origins

    SI – Spectral Interpretation

    RI – Resource Identification

    S – Security

    REx – Regolith Explorer

    APEX – Apophis Explorer

Yeah, I'm calling bullsh!t on that nonsense.

I'm sorry, but who still takes this seriously? Besides Boomers and neckbeards, I mean.

But if you do come across anyone who does take this nonsense at face value, remind them of this:

Bennu is an ancient Egyptian deity linked with the Sun, creation, and rebirth. He may have been the original inspiration for the phoenix legends that developed in Greek mythology.

According to Egyptian mythology, Bennu was a self-created being said to have played a role in the creation of the world. He was said to be the ba (personality component of the soul) of the sun deity Ra, and to have enabled the creative actions of Atum. The deity was said to have flown over the waters of Nun that existed before creation, landing on a rock and issuing a call that determined the nature of creation. He was also a symbol of rebirth and, therefore, was associated with Osiris. 

Some of the titles of Bennu were "He Who Came Into Being by Himself", and "Lord of Jubilees"; the latter epithet referring to the belief that Bennu periodically renewed himself like the sun was thought to do. His name is related to the Egyptian verb wbn, meaning "to rise in brilliance" or "to shine". 

Bennu could be conflated with Lucifer, but more precisely with Cadmus, the founder of Thebes, custodian of otherworldly technologies and Reptilian shapeshifter. 

No, seriously.

AND A STAR FELL FROM HEAVEN. OR LAS VEGAS.

Now, I'm no Sitchinite, but I did want to cite him in reference to the Asteroid Belt, since it will play into the overarching mytho-apocalyptic drama unfolding now. 

This is important, so pay close attention:

The protagonists Tiamat and Nibiru (which the Babylonians renamed "Marduk" in honor of their national god), I wrote, were not allegorical or mythical celestial gods but actual planets -- one (Tiamat) that existed between Mars and Jupiter, the other (Nibiru/Marduk) an, invader from outer space that, passing by our solar system and pulled in by the system's gravitational pull, ended up colliding with Tiamat.

 

In this Celestial Battle (as the ancient text names the catastrophic event), Tiamat broke up; one half of her was thrust into a new orbit to become Earth; the other half was smashed in an infernal collision to become the “Hammered Out Bracelet” (which we call the Asteroid Belt).

I still think the term "Hammered-Out Bracelet" is metal af. 

And just in case you weren't familiar with Tiamat, here's a quick thumbnail for you:

In Mesopotamian religion, Tiamat is a primordial goddess of the sea, mating with Abzû, the god of the groundwater, to produce younger gods. She is the symbol of the chaos of primordial creation. She is referred to as a woman and described as "the glistening one". 

Goddesses of the Sea and Glistening Ones? That can only mean one thing around these parts.

Bonus factoid: Asteroid means "starlike, starry." Makes me think about some Starry Wisdom, how about you?

So what happened four short days after NASA's OSIRIS-REX allegedly touched down with an alleged sample from the alleged Bennu asteroid?

I think you can guess, if you don't know already...

The International Astronomical Union has formally named celestial body 2013 TF-19 “Fraser” in honour of former Cocteau Twins vocalist Elizabeth Fraser.

“Fraser” is classified as a “main belt” asteroid, and was first discovered on 31 August 2013 by astronomers M. Kusiak and M. Żołnowski working from an observatory in Italy.

As for how such objects are named, according to the IAU, “when the first images of the surface of a planet or satellite are obtained, themes for naming features are chosen and names of a few important features are proposed, usually by members of the appropriate IAU task group.”

Come to think of it, Cocteau Twins’ music makes a nice accompaniment to stargazing.

No statement has yet been forthcoming from Elizabeth, but the announcement has been widely celebrated among fans. 

You can check out the specifics at Jack Parsons' Lilithworshipers' site here.

And what would such an occasion as this be without signs and portents in the Heavens? 

Not much, right?

Happily, we had a purple sun rising over the Sibyl's old homelands to mark her eternal placement into the Waters Above the Firmament.

Then you know what happened the very next day...

Do note that while the last Cocteau Twins single was called "Violaine" -- meaning "purple" -  their first single (Peppermint Pig) established Our Lady's long-running association with water and submersion.

But wait- there's more!

Exactly five weeks before the Big Apple was cast beneath the waters, the Sun's Signature CD was finally released, with remixes of tracks like "Underwater" and "Apples."

YOU SHALL SEE SIGNS IN THE HEAVENS. OR LAS VEGAS.

Also on Friday, all eyes were focused on Heaven or Las Vegas, where the long-running mystery of who killed Tupac Shakur seems to have been solved. 

Oddly enough, Shakur was killed Twin months after the release of "Violaine."

Also in Heaven or Las Vegas,  U2 opened the Sphere with their usual cavalcade of cringe and without Larry Mullen. The drummer ostensibly begged out for health reasons, but I think the real issue is that he can't take anymore of Bono's bootlicking bullshit.

But it seems to me there's someone else who was previously associated with the opening of a giant dome. 

Can't quite recall who.

As if all that weren't enough, Brazil reported mass strandings of river dolphins. 

So-called experts are blaming climate change, but given the importance of dolphins in our overarching narrative, I'd almost be tempted to wonder if we're not seeing some kind of mass sacrifice, like the kind we totally didn't see in the UK in the months leading up to September 2001, when millions of cattle were killed in what was totally not a mass burnt-offering to the Watchers. 

So don't even suggest such a possibility. 

Speaking of mass sacrifice, there's this nonsense from the risible UKMOD. You have to have been born yesterday not to realize that there aren't tens of thousands of British troops and "mercenaries" already in the field there, but there you have it.

Depressingly, Douchemaster General Grant Shapps is the cousin of Clash guitarist/singer Mick Jones. The latter has all kinds of sibylline syncs we'll save for another day.

But of course, World War Three has a rather direct sibylline connection, as you surely remember.

If not, here's a refresher:

I knew straight away that we were in for a rough ride as soon as I heard the Sibyl was singing again, having over forty years of evidence - including some of the hairiest events of the Cold War - and a few thousand years of literature to back me up.  

And I suspected we were on the cusp of something bigger and more serious than the usual kind of crisis, something that would have profound and lasting implications for the entire world.

And it wasn't even 24 hours before that suspicion was confirmed, and then some. 

I mean, I figured it was something big, but I wasn't expecting World War Three. And make no mistake - that's precisely what we're looking at now.

Of course, this just follows a long standing pattern, again dating back four decades: 

November 7, 1983: Cocteau Twins release Sunburst and Snowblind the same day NATO troops launch the Able Archer war-games, bringing world to the brink of nuclear war.

 

But let's circle back to Tiamat for a moment, since it ties directly into an apocalyptic topic we've covered in the past.

Hydra was identified as far back as ancient Sumer, where it was named after the primordial salt-water dragon goddess, Tiamat. In the myth, Tiamat slaughters the inhabitants of Earth, her offspring with Abzu/Apsu, the primordial god of fresh water, after they had slain her beloved. 

As myth and time progressed, she was usurped by the storm god Marduk, who overthrew the queen to gain divine regency amongst the Mesopotamian pantheons.

We covered all of this back in 2017 with the Beauty and the Beast series, which may well have started me on all this star-map business in the first place.

And as you probably now, the Disney version was inspired by Jean Cocteau's classic telling of the old fairytale... 

... which needs no explanation at this point. 

Suffice it to say that "Beauty and the Beast" was essentially the mission statement of the pre-dream pop Twins, with Robin Guthrie's caustic postpunk guitar colliding with the Sibyl's glorious vocals.

Bonus sync: Some scholars believe Beauty and the Beast is a retelling of Bluebeard. 

Which brings us back to the timeline and the OG Beauty and the Beast, given that Our Lady is now immortalized in the heavens...

9/23/2017: Twin months after (Leo) John Grant and (Virgo) Elizabeth Fraser appear at Royal Albert Hall, the great alignment of Revelation 12 occurs in Leo and Virgo.

Here's the passage in question, just in case you're not well-versed in John's Apocalypse: 

Revelation 12:1 A great sign appeared in heaven: a woman clothed with the sun, with the moon under her feet and a crown of twelve stars on her head. 2 She was pregnant and cried out in pain as she was about to give birth.

And then there's "Pearly Dewdrops," in my view a heart-stopping prophecy of the epochal - if not decisive - Supernova 1987A in Dorado (the "gold fish," connecting once more to PKDs prophecies of our sibyl.

Here's some synchly refreshment for you:

• Elizabeth cries out as if in pain at precisely 2:39 in the official video for "Pearly Dewdrops' Drops," filmed outside at Windsor Great Park and inside a former Christian chapel at Virginia (Virgo) Waters. 

• 23/9 is European notation for September 23. 

• Pearls and dewdrops are both repeatedly identified with Heaven in the Bible

Now, back to those floods: howzabout a bit more from the twelfth chapter of Revelation?

¹⁴ The woman was given the two wings of a great eagle, so that she might fly to the place prepared for her in the wilderness, where she would be taken care of for a time, times and half a time, out of the serpent’s reach.  

¹⁵ Then from his mouth the serpent spewed water like a river, to overtake the woman and sweep her away with the torrent. ¹⁶ But the earth helped the woman by opening its mouth and swallowing the river that the dragon had spewed out of his mouth.

Huh.

We know the serpent's connection to the stars, but is there a serpent connection to the Sibyl?

Well, aside from "Serpentskirt," there may be. I think it might have some relation to a series of unfortunate events in her younger days. Can't say for sure, so don't quote me on that. 

I'll leave you with this message until we pick up this thread of the stars, serpents, and Sibylline Oracles again.
