Terror in Hollywood

Following the sync web from the defaced Hollywood Sign to Disneyland's Hollywood Tower of Terror closing to the mass terror shooting at the Ft. Lauderdale - Hollywood Airport.

On January 1, 2017 the iconic Hollywood Sign over the city of Los Angeles was vandalized:

On January 3, 2017, Disneyland closed its iconic Hollywood Tower of Terror forever:

On January 6, 2017, a gunman committed a mass shooting at Fort Lauderdale-Hollywood airport:

Here is some food for thought from a previous post I made on January 8, 2011:

Near the bear and near the white wool,
Aries, Taurus, Cancer, Leo, Virgo,
Mars, Jupiter, the Sun burn over the great plain,
Woods and letters of cities are hidden in the candle.
—Century 6, Quatrain 35. The Book of Notradamus

Nostradamus, the Vitruvian Man, and a Message of Hope

As promised...here is a Nostradamus prophecy that confirms the existence of the Vitruvian Man/Pleiadian star map layout in our nation's capital.

(Perhaps also indirectly reinforcing my theory of the same topology surrounding the location of the Arizona Massacre).

The Original Quatrain:

Feet and hands bound between two boats,
Face anointed with honey, and sustained with milk:
Wasps and flies, paternal love vexed,
Cup-bearer to falsify, Chalice tried.

---Century 6, Quatrain 89, The Book of Nostradamus

Notice that (Feet and hands) = 10 fingers + 10 toes = 20. 

And a visual of a person with their feet and hands tied between two objects looks like Da Vinci's Vitruvian Man figure and a Roman Numeral 'X' (X = 10).

Roman Numeral 'X' illustrated using Da Vinci's "Vitruvian Man" figure

Putting the numbers 20 and 10 together gives us the year 2010 for this prophecy. 

[UPDATED 1/30/11:]

To confirm the year 2010, Nostradamus also encoded it mathematically both in Binary (Base 2) and Base 13.

In Binary, the Quatrain's first line can be written as 1010 1101 111.  However, Binary is read in sections of four digits from right to left.  So, we would rewrite it as 111 1101 1010 which equals 2010 in Binary.

In Base 13, the phrase "Bound Between two boats", can be written as BB8.  BB8 = 2010 in Base 13.

[END UPDATE]

Nostradamus was also making a reference to Washington, D.C., and his use of the Vitruvian Man imagery indicates that he was well aware of the figure's incorporation into the city's layout (see my post and Wayne Hershel's website).

Using Wayne Hershel's maps, we can see the "Face" corresponds to the Washington Monument Obelisk.

The 2nd line of the Quatrain is:  

Face anointed with honey, and sustained with milk

The Face/Obelisk is anointed with honey by means of the line on the map connecting it to the graves of our military heroes at Arlington National Cemetery. 

Via this line, Ganymede, the mythological Cup-bearer to the gods, is symbolically anointing the Face/Obelisk with honey [where "honey" symbolizes the ancient Army of Thebes (Thebes=The Bees)].

The Obelisk is also sustained with milk (milk=MLK). This is a reference to the MLK Memorial, the new monument to Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. located at the edge of the Tidal Basin (literally on W. Basin Drive) that feeds/flows toward the obelisk.

The MLK Memorial does not officially open until 8/28/11.  However, its centerpiece, a massive 28-foot granite "Stone of Hope" sculpture of Dr. King, first became visible to the public in December 2010. 

This event gives us Nostradamus' time frame for the prophecy (12/2010).

The 3rd and 4th lines of the Quatrain are:

Wasps and flies, paternal love vexed,
Cup-bearer to falsify, Chalice tried.

In these lines, Nostradamus uses a trick to let us know which words are important and which words are simply used to fill the sentence. 

The "filler" words in each sentence are actually synonyms of each other: "Lies" means "to falsify", and "Vexed" means "tried".

After the filler words are deleted we are left with:

Wasps and paternal love

Cup-bearer, Chalice

The phrase "Wasps and paternal love" is a reference to the Sacred Band, an army in ancient Thebes (Thebes=The Bees=Wasps) that was comprised of only male lovers.  

"And if there were only some way of contriving that a state or an army should be made up of lovers and their beloved, they would be the very best governors of their own city, abstaining from all dishonour, and emulating one another in honour; and when fighting at each other's side, although a mere handful, they would overcome the world." ---from Plato's Symposium

This also relates to Ganymede who, in addition to being the Cup-bearer, was also a Greek symbol for the ideally beautiful youth and homosexual love.





Zeus (in the form of an Eagle) fell in love with Ganymede and took the boy away to live on Mt. Olympus.  Synchromystically, this is a link to the U.S. (the Eagle) and to Jupiter (one of its moons is named after Ganymede).

When the Sacred Band was slaughtered at the Battle of Chaeronea, a Giant Lion Statue was erected as a monument to them in Thebes.

In modern times, this correlates to the Bronze Lions at the Netherlands Carillon in Washington, D.C.  The Lion statues overlook the graves of slain soldiers buried at Arlington National Cemetery.

The soldiers of the Sacred Band were honored for their heroic service.  This is Nostradamus' way of alluding to the repeal of the U.S. Military's Don't Ask, Don't Tell law (DADT).

President Obama signed the repeal of DADT on December 22, 2010.  This re-confirms the 12/2010 time frame for the prophecy.

As we have learned by now, Nostradamus always embeds multiple meanings into his prophecies.  This one is no exception.

The word "Face" in the Quatrain can also be a reference to the Tarot by alluding to the Face Cards (the Major Arcana/Court cards).

The Tarot de Marseille features the Temperance Card and the Star Card:

The Temperance Card, XIV, depicts a woman with two cups in her hands. She has one foot in the water and one foot on the land.  It is a reminder that a compromise between two seemingly incompatible options is often the best option, i.e. an old saying that relates strongly to our Quatrain---"it's easier to catch flies with honey".

The Star Card, XVII, also depicts a woman with two pitchers in her hands.  It represents a moment of renewed hope for the future, a breakthrough, a new opportunity to rise to higher state of consciousness.  In the Fool's Journey, the Star indicates that we are approaching the goal of Enlightenment.

If we combine the numbers of both Cards we get XIVXVII. 

Note: The middle X is bound between two V's.  The V is the symbol for cups/boats.  Therefore the X (human figure) is bound between two boats.

Based on these Tarot clues, we can re-interpret the last three lines of the Original Quatrain to read as follows:

The Anointed One held two chalice in his hands

And, patient as a loving father,
He sustained the flying wasps

With milk and honey

Dropping the first letters from the words "flying wasps" gives us "lying asps", or lying snakes.  And in previous posts (here and here) I showed how Nostradamus refers to President Obama as "The One".

I believe this is referring to Obama's techniques of patience, moderation, and compromise in dealing with members of Congress (many of whom I personally would characterize as "lying snakes"). 

This was especially true in December 2010 when the President got DADT, the START Treaty, health care coverage for 9/11 workers, and the tax cut bill passed in a lame duck session of Congress.

Overall, I think Nostradamus in this Quatrain is sending us a message of Hope across time. 

He foresaw the strides we would make in achieving equality for ALL, both through the eradication of DADT and in electing a black president---each culminations of Dr. Martin Luther King Jr.'s precious dream.

Somewhere, somehow I'd like to think the prophet is cheering us on from the Great Beyond.

Nostradamus believes in us.  Now we just have to believe in ourselves.

Barack Obama—The Last MABUS Part II

Century 6, Quatrain 35 of the Book of Nostradums definitively pinpoints the starting point of President Obama's emergence on the scene on his way to becoming The Last Mabus.

The Original Quatrain reads:

Near the bear and near the white wool,
Aries, Taurus, Cancer, Leo, Virgo,
Mars, Jupiter, the Sun burn over the great plain,
Woods and letters of cities are hidden in the candle.
—Century 6, Quatrain 35. The Book of Notradamus

Here, Notradamus speaks of "Woods" and "letters of cities".  This is a reference to the famous Hollywood Sign in Los Angeles, CA. 

The European Holly is a tree.  Holly (Tree) + Wood = Woods (plural) in the letters of the sign over the city of Los Angeles. 



Holly Tree shown on a Medieval tapestry.

Now, here is my Unscrambled Version of the Quatrain:

The Sun is hidden in the Woods.
A candle burns in the letters over the Cities.
The white wool is near.
Aries, Taurus, Cancer, Leo, Virgo; Mars and Jupiter,
And the Great Bear is over the plain.

In Part I, we established how Nostradamus related Obama to the Sun and compared the Sun's symbols to Obama's "O" , or Rising Sun, campaign logo. 

Therefore, the first line of the Quatrain: "The Sun is hidden in the Woods" is a reference to Obama and the letter "O" in his name and logo.

Due to disrepair, the third letter "O" was missing from the Hollywood Sign until Alice Cooper paid to replace it in 1978.  He also helped raise money for the sign's complete restoration. 

The newly restored sign was unveiled on Hollywood's 75th anniversary, November 14, 1978, before a live TV audience of 60 million people. 

Unveiling of the restored Hollywood Sign on November 14, 1978.

Notice in the 1978 picture (above) that the Hollywood sign is lit up with bright lights.  This matches with Nostradamus' description that "a candle burns" in the letters.

Nostradamus used the event of the "O" being returned to the refurbished Hollywood Sign as a symbol of Obama "The Sun's" arrival in Los Angeles.

Obama moved to Los Angeles in 1979 to attend Occidental College.  This was the starting point of the path that would lead him to Harvard and eventually to the presidency of the United States.

This combined historical evidence gives us a late 1978-1979 reference time frame.

The next line of the unscrambled Quatrain is:

The white wool is near.

November 14, 1978 was very near to the end of the calendar year.  The following year when Obama arrived in L.A. was 1979, the Chinese Year of the Lamb (Lamb = "White Wool"). 

The remainder of the unscrambled Quatrain is an astronomical confirmation of the year 1979:

Aries, Taurus, Cancer, Leo, Virgo; Mars and Jupiter,
And the Great Bear is over the plain.  

In these two lines, Nostradamus highlights the importance of the year 1979 by providing the astronomical alignments along the Ecliptic during the rare Triple Conjunction of Mars and Jupiter which begin in that year. 

Note:  The Ecliptic is the path of the Sun (Sun = Obama).

I plugged the coordinates of Los Angeles into Fourmilab's Sky Map to chart the sky over the city during the Conjunction of Mars and Jupiter that occurred on 12/13/79:

CLICK TO ENLARGE





The Ecliptic follows the exact path that Nostradamus indicated.  Starting from the right side of the chart (above), it  begins in the constellation of Aries, moves through Taurus, Cancer, and Leo, and ends in Virgo on the left side of the chart.

Also, notice that the "Great Bear", Ursa Major, is positioned directly over the Conjunction at the center of the Ecliptic. 

In my opinion, Nostradamus was indeed a seer.  I believe that through his meditative scrying methods, he was able to tune into high frequency future events in time and visualize them as pictures in his mind. 

His Quatrains are descriptions of those mind pictures combined with multiple numerological, astronomical, and historical references to confirm the time frame of his visions.

The unveiling of the Hollywood Sign in November 1978 would have been a particularly high frequency event that year because 60 million people watched it live on TV.

The fact that massive human observance of events can produce frequency anomalies has already been demonstrated by Princeton University's Global Consciousness Project. 

Princeton's project observes how human consciousness interacts with random event generators (REGs).

To illustrate, in the graph (above) output from Princeton's REG network significantly increased in response to global consciousness reactions at the news of Michael Jackson's death.

Basically, I believe that Nostradamus was like a human REG; he was able to tune into spikes in human global consciousness and remotely view scenes from future points in time. 

Hold on to your hats! 

I'm still researching more writings from The Book of Nostradamus and have already found several more telling Quatrains.  More to come on that.

Nostradamus Predicts NYC 'PATH' of Destruction

This MSNBC news clip that aired on New Year's Eve jibes nearly word-for-word with one of Nostradamus' foreboding prophetic passages.

I'll apologize in advance for such a dire analysis on this, the first day of a Happy Happy New Year 2011.  But I was watching a re-run of the news on TV after the ball dropped and this bit made my mouth fall open.

(Click the Arrow on the Video below to Play)

I just happened to have been reading The Book of Nostradamus online for the past few days while researching my previous post Barack Obama—The Last MABUS. 

That's the only reason I recognized the "PATH" reference in the news clip.  I find that coincidence too weird for words.

Ok. So, here is the Original Quatrain:

Garden of the world near the new city,
In the path of the hollow mountains:
It will be seized and plunged into the Tub,
Forced to drink waters poisoned by sulfur.
Century 10, Quatrain 49. The Book of Nostradamus.

Now here is my Unscrambled Version:

Near the garden in the New City of the world
The Path in the hollow mountains
Will be seized and plunged into the Tub
Forced to drink waters poisoned by sulfur

The following are descriptions and phrases taken verbatim from the MSNBC news video clip:

* New York's PATH subway train is "burrowed through solid bedrock".  (NOTE: This is very similar to Nostradamus' description of the "Path" being hollowed through a mountain).

* The underwater part of the subway lines run under the Hudson River. They sit just under a thin layer of silt and mud leaving them vulnerable.

* Counter-terrorism measures are being taken to add...Flood Gates installed on both ends to plug the tunnels in a worst case scenario.

* This is a 600 million dollar upgrade stemming from a 2006 terrorist plot that targeted the PATH tubes as a way to flood the "Bathtub".

"Bathtub" is a name used for the World Trade Center site.

The "Bathtub" contained the footprints of the Twin Towers and Buildings 3 and 6.

Nostradamus also tells us specifically that the "Path" will be "plunged into the Tub" and forced to drink waters poisoned by sulfur. 

This sounds like a clear description of an underground subway being submerged under water due to a bomb.

The PATH website's info page for the World Trade Center Station shows that Battery Park is within walking distance of the station. 

This matches Nostradamus' description that the "Path" is "near the garden" in the new (York) city. 

On the bright side, I strongly believe this Quatrain could very well be referring to the 2006 terrorist plot which, thankfully, has already been averted. 

Ergo, we learn what we should already know.  Fate is not written in stone.

We can exercise our collective free will to create a better future for ourselves.

Barack Obama—The Last MABUS (Part I)

Nostradamus ominously foretold the coming of a person named Mabus who would usher in the End Times.

As President Obama wraps up the first half of his historic term in office,  let's explore why he is the enigmatic Mabus figure (and why that's a good thing).

Nostradamus himself admitted that his writings were intentionally jumbled and confused to hide their true meaning from the average reader. 

So, the first thing we need to do is unscramble the Mabus Quatrain.

Here's the Original Quatrain: 

Mabus then will soon die, there will come
Of people and beasts a horrible rout:
Then suddenly one will see vengeance,
Hundred, hand, thirst, hunger when the comet will run.

--- Century II, Quatrain 62, The Book of Nostradamus

Now here is my reading of the Quatrain with the words and phrases rearranged in a more grammatically correct, logical, and poetic rendering.

There will be a hundred Mabus---beasts, a horrible rout.
Then suddenly, Behold!
From among the people there will come: The One.
When the comet runs vengeance, thirst, and hunger will soon die by his hand.

And here is my final clarification of the Quatrain, replacing the word "hundred" with "many" and the word "rout" with its dictionary meaning:

There will be many Mabus---beasts, a horrible, lawless lot.
Then suddenly, Behold!
From among the people there will come: The One.
When the comet runs, vengeance, thirst, and hunger will soon die by his hand.

From my reading it is clear that the term Mabus does not denote one person.  Instead, it is a plural, collective term referring to a large group of people who exhibit the same "horrible" traits and behaviors.  However, it can also be used in the singular case (i.e., the word Deer).

So, according to the Quatrain, finally "One Mabus" (singular) is born who stands out as being quite different from the "many Mabus" (plural).

Therefore, Obama is not the Mabus.  He is a Mabus in a long line of Mabus that have existed throughout history.  He is the One we have been waiting for, the Final One.

Next, I used my Soundful method to interpret President Obama's full name (see Soundful---A Synchronistic Word Game):

Object:  President Barack Obama

Visual:  His name

Symbology:  Barack Hussein Obama

Word(s):  BARACK HUSSEIN OBAMA

DeVowel:  BRCK HSSN BM

Concept(s):  Born, Rock, Brick, He Is, Son, Sun, SS=2=To, C=See=Behold, Mabus

New Word(s):  Behold, he is the Son born from a rock, the Sun brick, the Mabus. 

Interpretation:  Behold, he is the Son born from a rock (the Sun brick). He is the Mabus.

Amazingly, this interpretation of Obama's full name contains both the word Mabus and a veiled reference to Mithras, a mythological Greek god. 

The Greeks believed Mithras was born from a rock and also identified him with the Sun.

One of the most perplexing aspects of the Mithraic mysteries consists in the fact that Mithraic iconography always portrays Mithras and the sun god as separate beings, while-- in stark contradiction to this absolutely consistent iconographical distinction between Mithras and the sun-- in Mithraic inscriptions Mithras is often identified with the sun by being called "sol invictus," the "unconquered sun."

It thus appears that the Mithraists somehow believed in the existence of two suns: one represented by the figure of the sun god, and the other by Mithras himself as the "unconquered sun."

It is thus of great interest to note that the Mithraists were not alone in believing in the existence of two suns, for we find in Platonic circles the concept of the existence of two suns, one being the normal astronomical sun and the other a so-called "hypercosmic" sun located beyond the sphere of the fixed stars.
--- from Mithras and the Hypercosmic Sun

This passage relates to the concept of Mithras as the "Second Sun" and astronomically pinpoints the time period in which the last Mabus will reign.  That time is now.  (see Jake Kotze's post on the Second Sun and Jupiter in the movie 2010: The Year We Make Contact).

NOTE: In a previous post, I also related current events in the Obama Administration to the Mithraic Mysteries (see Death of a Raging Bull and All Hail the Larry King).

Next, we will refer to Nostradamus' original Quatrain again to reveal its Hidden Mathematical and Numerological meanings.

#1:  Let's begin with Nostradamus' use of the phrase "Hundred Hand", or 100 Hand.

100 in binary digits = 0100 = 2^2 + 0^1 + 0^0 = 4

The Shambaa people of Tanzania and Kenya practice a method of hand gesture counting that uses the duplicative principle. They indicate the number 8 by showing 4 fingers on each hand (see Words, Gestures, and Symbols).

Thus, by writing Hundred Hand, Nostradamus was actually referring to the Shambaa Kenyan's gesture for the number 8---two hands holding up four fingers on each hand.  Visually, this is also a representation of the number 44. 

This further confirms the identity of the last Mabus as the 44th U.S. President Obama.  It is also an ingenious clue to his family heritage (Obama's father was born in Kenya).

#2:  "Hundred Hand" also contains a hidden numerological meaning.

Hundred Hand = 4 fingers on a hand.  Numerologically, it is also HH = 88.  This combination of two 8's and a 4, may have been a numerological allusion to Obama's date of birth.

Obama's birth date = 8/4/1961 = 8/4/1+9+6+1 = 8/4/17 = 8/4/1+7 = 8/4/8

#3:  "Hundred Hand" can also be interpreted as the year 2008.

Using the Shambaa Kenyan counting method:
Hundred = 100 fingers on each Hand = 100 X 2 = 200
Hand = 5 fingers on each Hand = 5 X 2 = 10 
Hundred Hand = 200 X 10 = 2000

We already know from our earlier calculation using a combination of Binary and the Kenyan counting method that Hundred Hand can also equal the number 8 (4 fingers on each hand).

Adding both of these values for Hundred Hand = 2000 + 8 = 2008 (the year Obama was elected).

#4:  "Hundred Hand" in binary form is also used to denote where the missing vowels in the word MABUS should be placed. 

Hundred (in binary) = 0100
Hand = 5 = 2^5 (in binary) = 2^5 + 0^4 + 0^3 + 0^2 + 0^1 + 0^0 = 100000

So, we will insert two Vowels...one in the hundredth place and one in the 2^5 place (in binary) = 100100

But which Vowels should we use?

Let's revisit the Quatrain to find out.  Nostradamus is telling us that the "One" is the last Mabus. 

Therefore, One = Circle of Completion = O.

This also entrains with the analysis of Obama's full name which linked him to Mithras and the Sun.  The symbol for the Sun is the Circle, or "O" (the Circumpunct, Circle of the Sun).

We also know that One = 1 = A (the first letter of the alphabet).

Therefore, our two Vowels are the letters "O" and "A".
  
  MABUS
*MAB*US---> insert vowels in the binary 100th and 2^5 place
AMABOUS---> insert the letter "O" in 100th place and "A" in the 2^5 place
AMABO US---> seperate the two words
OBAMA US---> reverse AMABO
OBAMA U.S.

Boy!  That Nostradamus really knew how to stretch a symbol, didn't he?

In one brief stanza, Nostradamus not only managed to foretell the coming of The Last Mabus by name, but he also provided (4) additional methods to authenticate his identity (birth date, family heritage, presidential election year, and presidential number). 

Clearly, he wanted to ensure that we would not confuse Obama with the other historical and present-day collective evil Mabus. 

To illustrate the importance of Nostradamus' cross checking measures, consider the fact that The Nostradamus Mabus Project site has compiled a list of over 80 potential Mabus candidates from our generation alone, most of whom are still alive today.

In my next post I'll decode another Quatrain from the "Book of Nostradamus" that also points to President Obama.
