Did you know there were actually FIVE wars over the control of Delphi in Ancient Greece? They were called the "Sacred Wars." Look them up, I'll wait.
The Sacred Wars were fiercely-fought, bloody conflagrations over who got to control the Oracle of Apollo, home of the Pythia. The Pythia being named in honor of the dread Python, and filling an office established by the Delphian Sibyl in deep antiquity.
So, tell me: do you think the current ruling elites are more cunning, intelligent or rational than the Ancient Greeks? Do you think those ancient bonecrushers were just launching these rather brutal wars on a lark?
Of course not - sibyls and oracles were taken extremely seriously by these men. They believed in sibyls enough to kill a LOT of people to control them. How about you? When will you believe?
Okay, okay, already: but what does that have to do with anything, you ask?
Well, bear with me.
I don't need to remind anyone what happened in Pennsylvania on Saturday, unless they've been on a media fast (and God bless, if so).
Now, before anyone says anything, I've seen all the conspiracy theories online - or at least quite a lot of them - over the past three days and have found nothing to persuade me that what we saw wasn't a last-ditch effort to salvage the Biden project.
In other words, there's no credible evidence that I've seen that this was not simply the GloBa'alists desperate solution to their Grandpa Dribblecup problem (which we discussed on Friday, synchronistically enough).
The same script has (allegedly) played out countless times all across the world. In fact, that script was written by some of the very same people behind this latest installment, allegedly: assassinate an undesirable candidate, whip up a civil war and/or street violence using professional agitators and agent provocateurs, declare martial law and/or cancel the elections, and finally install a ridiculous puppet whom both sides disdain as a "compromise." Allegedly.
Think it can't happen here? You got a lot of growing up to do, friend. Allegedly.
Anyhow, the only problem is most of those scriptwriters are long past their prime and haven't done a very good job at training up their replacements. Worse, they're running into the competency crisis brickwall their social policies helped in large part create in the first place.
Allegedly, of course.
I'm not talking the fact that Trump seemed to have turned away as the killshot whizzed by, that's just a stroke of luck. I mean the terrible execution of this, um, execution is leaving all kinds of starkly obvious questions that the scriptwriters were probably hoping would go unanswered as the riots diverted everyone's attention.
Allegedly.
Like this, for instance.
Or the fact that everyone with two braincells to rub together can see the blatant alleged complicity behind the poorly-planned alleged "security lapses."
Or the fact that the Feebs are claiming they can't unlock the shooter's phone. And on and on. It was just a total clustereff, one of very many to come.
Allegedly.
Well, so what? We're not about partisan politics here. What does this have to do with the Sibyls?
Well, let's wind the clock back to the most recent Sibylline blowout here. What was the first sync in the timeline?
March 28, 1981: The Cocteau Twins play their very first gig, opening up for Peter Capaldi (Doctor Who) and Craig Ferguson's (Drew Carey Show, Late Night) rather awful punk band, The Dreamboys.The Dreamboys used to call the teenaged Elizabeth "the Christmas Tree," because of her elaborate outfits.March 28, 1981: John Hinckley Jr. arrives in Washington, DC in order to fulfill his plans to assassinate Ronald Reagan in order to win the love of Jodie Foster. He was inspired by the film Taxi Driver.
The syncs between Jodie Foster and Elizabeth Fraser are both voluminous and impossible.
January 11, 1982: The first-ever airing of the Cocteau Twins comes when legendary DJ John Peel plays "Speak No Evil" on his BBC show.For some unknown reason, (habitual statutory rapist) John Peel was in the booking room at the Dallas Police HQ when JFK patsy Lee Harvey Oswald was assassinated by gangster Jack Ruby.
Oh, my. Okay.
So where was the Sibyl when all of that trouble went down on Saturday?
The Sibyl was prophesying in Italy - in Mantova (AKA Mantua) to be exact.
So what's the significance of that?
Here's the Mantova city flag: note crowned castle, garlands, St. George cross and a Roman-looking chap.
That Roman chap is the poet Virgil, who wrote extensively about the ancient sibyls.
And here's another interesting detail about Virgil and Mantova:
After defeating the army led by the assassins of Julius Caesar in the Battle of Philippi (42 BC), Octavian tried to pay off his veterans with land expropriated from towns in northern Italy, which—according to tradition—included an estate near Mantua (Mantova) belonging to Virgil.
And the botched alleged King-Kill in PA also went down on Julius Caesar's birthday.
Which is also Harrison Ford's birthday.
Our old pal Jake Kotze pointed out that the new Captain America trailer dropped Friday. It features an assassination attempt that Ford's character - the President, mind you - survives.
And what about the name of Saturday's would-be assassin?
There's a gimme.
And another gimme.
Speaking of Captain America, Brother Bjorn points out that Crooks went to the same high school ("Beth-El," heh) as this legendary Marvel editor-in-chief.
Mark Gray, another old-school Synchromystic, pointed this out.
Which also syncs us back to El-Sibylla-Beth, inevitably.
Also this, kind of.
But last week was actually a rather big one for Sibyliine activity: the Cocteau Twins finally launched their own YouTube channel, where you can see the Sibyl in her former incarnation as the manic pixie dream(pop)girl to end all manic pixie dreamgirls.
In other words, sheer bliss.
Brother Brandon also points out that Cocteau Twin Simon Raymonde is about to release his autobiography, In One Ear.
But wait: there's more!!
For some odd reason, the re-release of The Moon and the Melodies was a major story on music sites last week as well. Bigger news than it was when it was released, certainly.
And today?
A cave system, allegedly discovered on the Moon.
Near the Apollo II site, which makes this story seem more ceremony than science. Given that Sibyls - priestesses of Apollo - traditionally prophesied in caves.
