"The Once and Future King"

"We find that at present the human race is divided into one wise man, nine knaves, and ninety fools out of every hundred. That is, by an optimistic observer. The nine knaves assemble themselves under the banner of the most knavish among them, and become 'politicians'; the wise man stands out, because he knows himself to be hopelessly outnumbered, and devotes himself to poetry, mathematics, or philosophy; while the ninety fools plod off under the banners of the nine villains, according to fancy, into the labyrinths of chicanery, malice and warfare. It is pleasant to have command, observes Sancho Panza, even over a flock of sheep, and that is why the politicians raise their banners. It is, moreover, the same thing for the sheep whatever the banner. If it is democracy, then the nine knaves will become members of parliament; if fascism, they will become party leaders; if communism, commissars. Nothing will be different, except the name. The fools will be still fools, the knaves still leaders, the results still exploitation. As for the wise man, his lot will be much the same under any ideology. Under democracy he will be encouraged to starve to death in a garret, under fascism he will be put in a concentration camp, under communism he will be liquidated."
— T.H. White (The Book of Merlyn: The Unpublished Conclusion to The Once & Future King)




The Candle in the Wind was intended to be the next to the last book and therefore does not leave the story with the conclusion that T.H. White had originally intended. The book was never published as a separate volume like its predecessors, only in The Once and Future King. The action that is included in the book is the confrontation between Morgause's sons: Agravaine and Mordred, and the King himself. Mordred shows his hatred for his father and wants to destroy all that Arthur has built. To achieve this purpose he exposes Lancelot's affair with the Queen and tries to rile arms against Arthur. During this turmoil, Arthur continually tries to remember Merlyn's teaching and wish that his old friend were by his side again. The book ends with Arthur, on the eve of his final battle with Mordred, sending a young page named Thomas back to his homeland to keep the ideals of Camelot alive. This becomes the analogy with the title of the book. Thomas is to keep the Candle lit, as Arthur did in the Wind (analogizing life's turns).

Book four of T.H. White's THE ONCE AND FUTURE KING is entitled THE CANDLE IN THE WIND which just so happens to mirror the Elton John song originally written for his 1973 YELLOW BRICK ROAD album as tribute to Marilyn Monroe but which would later become the highest selling single of all-time; when it was re-released as tribute to the befallen DIANA Princess of Wales.

The Guinness Book of Records 2007 states that "Candle In the Wind 1997" is the biggest-selling single "since records began," but that Bing Crosby's "White Christmas " has sold the most copies.John said he would never again sing this version live except at the request of Prince William of Wales or Prince Harry of Wales

A source close to Clarence House has been quick to confirm the rumours: “Sir Elton has been a fantastic servant to the Royal household, both William and Kate are big fans, and we're all delighted that Elton has decided to dedicate a song to their momentous day.”

Produced during the lifetime of William Shakespeare, the King James Version of the Bible was commissioned by King James VI of Scotland and I of England and took seven years for translators to complete. It is one of the most frequently used Bibles in the English-speaking world, particularly in the United States. In 2009, Barack Obama took the oath of office on the same King James Bible used by Abraham Lincoln in 1861.

This story, five years in the making breaks today...

http://news.yahoo.com/s/yblog_thelookout/20110330/ts_yblog_thelookout/could-lead-codices-prove-the-major-discovery-of-christian-history

British archaeologists are seeking to authenticate what could be a landmark discovery in the documentation of early Christianity: a trove of 70 lead codices that appear to date from the 1st century CE, which may include key clues to the last days of Jesus' life. As UK Daily Mail reporter Fiona Macrae writes, some researchers are suggesting this could be the most significant find in Christian archeology since the Dead Sea scrolls in 1947.

The codices turned up five years ago in a remote cave in eastern Jordan—a region where early Christian believers may have fled after the destruction of the Temple in Jerusalem in 70 CE. The codices are made up of wirebound individual pages, each roughly the size of a credit card. They contain a number of images and textual allusions to the Messiah, as well as some possible references to the crucifixion and resurrection. Some of the codices were sealed, prompting yet more breathless speculation that they could include the sealed book, shown only to the Messiah, mentioned in the Book of Revelation. One of the few sentences translated thus far from the texts, according to the BBC, reads, "I shall walk uprightly"--a phrase that also appears in Revelation. "While it could be simply a sentiment common in Judaism," BBC writer Robert Pigott notes, "it could here be designed to refer to the resurrection."

But the field of biblical archaeology is also prey to plenty of hoaxes and enterprising fraudsters, so investigators are proceeding with due empirical caution. Initial metallurgical research indicates that the codices are about 2,000 years old--based on the manner of corrosion they have undergone, which, as Macrae writes, "experts believe would be impossible to achieve artificially."

Beyond the initial dating tests, however, little is confirmed about the codices or what they contain. And the saga of their discovery has already touched off a battle over ownership rights between Israel and Jordan. As the BBC's Pigott recounts, the cache surfaced when a Jordanian Bedouin saw a menorah—the Jewish religious candleabra—exposed in the wake of a flash flood. But the codices somehow passed into the ownership of an Israeli Bedouin named Hassam Saeda, who claims that they have been in his family's possession for the past 100 years. The Jordanian government has pledged to "exert all efforts at every level" to get the potentially priceless relics returned, Pigott reports.

Meanwhile, biblical scholars who have examined the codices point to significant textual evidence suggesting their early Christian origin. Philip Davies, emeritus professor of Old Testament Studies at Sheffield University, told Pigott he was "dumbstruck" at the sight of plates representing a picture map of ancient Jerusalem. "There is a cross in the foreground, and behind it is what has to be the tomb [of Jesus], a small building with an opening, and behind that the walls of the city," Davies explained. "There are walls depicted on other pages of these books, too, and they almost certainly refer to Jerusalem."

David Elkington, an ancient religion scholar who heads the British research team investigating the find, has likewise pronounced this nothing less than "the major discovery of Christian history." Elkington told the Daily Mail that "it is a breathtaking thought that we have held these objects that might have been held by the early saints of the Church."

Still, other students of early Christian history are urging caution, citing precedents such as the debunked discovery of an ossuary said to contain Jesus' bones. New Testament scholar Larry Hurtado observes that since these codices are miniature, they were likely intended for private, rather than liturgical, use. This would likely place their date of origin closer to the 3rd century CE. But only further research and full translation of the codices can fully confirm the nature of the find. The larger lesson here is likely that of Eccliastes 3:1—be patient, since "to everything there is a season."

Fayette Factor

http://www.lorencoleman.com/fayette_factor.html

A mass UFO sighting this week in Lafayette, Colorado reignites The Fortean "Fayette Factor". For those unfamiliar with the term, I suggest following the above link to the article written by author Loren Coleman or continue reading the reprint below.

Fresh Fascination Focuses on the Fayette Factor

March 17, 2004
by Loren Coleman

The Fayette Factor has been examined for years by collectors of Forteana, but recent attention may be the highest in years.

One of the first to think about this special name and its link to phenomenal events was William Grimstad, who would write of it in his essay, "Fateful Fayette," (Fortean Times No. 25, Spring 1978).

Since then, several items on this lexilink between Fayette (as well as its related forms - Lafayette, La Fayette, Fayetteville) and high strangeness have been published. In his book, Weird America (New York: EP Dutton, 1978), Jim Brandon (a pen name for Bill Grimstad) mentioned several Fayette hot spots but did not dwell on them. In exchanges with Bill, a small group of Forteans discussed the Fayette Factor privately throughout the late 1970s. It was not until Brandon's The Rebirth of Pan: Hidden Faces of the American Earth Spirit (Firebird Press, 1983) and Mysterious America (Boston: Faber and Faber, 1983) that more in-depth analyses of the Fayette "coincidences" seriously occurred. These examinations were followed by updates and other comments in Mysterious America: The Revised Edition (NY: Paraview, 2001), and Mothman and Other Curious Encounters (NY: Paraview, 2002), Furthermore, the appearance of widely available material on the Fayette Factor started routinely being posted online during the 1990s.

Attention to other links to other locations, such as my discovery that LaGrange is also an associated hot name, apparently due to the fact the name Chateau de LaGrange was the French home of the Marquis de Lafayette, evolved during the last twenty years of writings on the subject.

The cities, towns, and counties across the United States, which are the Fortean hotspots linked to the Fayette Factor, are tied to the renamed Masonic lodges and affiliated sites that the Marquis de Lafayette visited on his grand tour of the country in 1824-1825. His visits were highly ritualized happenings, in which he is involved with laying many cornerstones. The locations where he is taken to visit are a virtual roadmap of the "special places" in this land. For example, in 1825, The Marquis de Lafayette, on board the ship (please note!) "Enterprise," visited the Cahokia mounds, and the significant Bloody Island, which then was so large that half of the Mississippi flowed east of it. (Intriguingly, Lafayette returned to France in 1825, on the day after his birthday, demonstrating a keen eye on the calendar and a desire to celebrate September 6th in America.)

Many Masonic locations have been linked beyond the easily recognized Lafayette name to a broader Freemasonry focus to mystic events and violent happenings. Some are very subtle. One man's journey, Lee Harvey Oswald, from his office across from Lafayette Square, New Orleans, would lead to the most infamous Masonic sites in the country. This vivid example of deathly weirdness is Dealey Plaza, where JFK was assassinated on November 22, 1963. Dallas' Dealey Plaza is the location of the state of Texas's first Masonic temple.

This extended harmonic game appears to have many Lafayette and Masonic meditations.

Like everything else, there are cycles of interest in the Fayette Factor. We appear to be in a high phase of interest right now. In the UFO Roundup newsletter, Volume 9, Number 6, February 11, 2004, editor Joseph Trainor did a flashback column on "The Fayette Factor," which Jeff Rense of Rense.com, Wisconsin Fortean Richard Hendricks of The Anomalist, and other websites have reproduced.

Now, due to all of this 2004 publicity on the Fayette Factor, it has been mentioned in the mainstream media outright, a highly unusual situation. Richard Hendricks discovered that a Kentucky newspaper published the following short comment, based almost entirely on Trainor's revisiting the issue:

'The Fayette factor'

It was already notable for being a Friday the 13th. But some saw more in the Adams Lane shootings that day.

Two days before the shootings,-Ufoinfo.com, a Web site devoted to the paranormal, republished a tract about "the Fayette factor" -- what some describe as the abnormally high incidence of paranormal events that occur in places named for the Marquis de Lafayette, a founding father and Freemason.

On Feb. 11, the Web site published examples of Fayette Factor events -- haunted houses in Fayette, Mo., and Fayetteville, N.C. Bigfoot monsters in Lafayette County, Ark., and Fayetteville, Tenn. The slashing of Abraham Lincoln's secretary of state, William Seward, in Lafayette Square -- AKA "Tragedy Square" -- on the same night the president was assassinated.

And then there's the really eerie one: On July 3, 1977, a fellow named Gary Rock set fire to his cabin in Fayetteville, Pa. When firefighters arrived, he shot two of them, killing one and wounding the other. He also killed a neighbor.

Should we be surprised in a year in which a sniper haunts the Fayette County, Ohio interstate, or Lafayette, Louisiana's St. Paul School Social Sciences Fair had juniors Chris Brown and Robert Egnatchik placing first in anthropology with "Bigfoot" that the whole Fayette Factor would be getting
conscious press attention?

The Marquis de Lafayette died 170 years ago on May 20th, but the Fayette Factor remains alive, well, and hot in 2004.

The "Official" explanation of "ODYSSEY DAWN"

http://www.washingtonpost.com/blogs/federal-eye/post/why-is-it-called-operation-odyssey-dawn/2011/03/22/ABLaaFDB_blog.html

By Ed O'Keefe | 12:42 PM ET, 03/22/2011
Significant military operations in Libya are expected to wind down in the coming days, marking the end of “Operation Odyssey Dawn.”

The name assigned to the U.S.-led airstrikes might sound like the title of a rock album, video game or — as some have suggested — the name of a pornographic movie star. But the monicker has no specific meaning and has nothing to do with Libya, Libyans or the country’s leader, Moammar Gaddafi, according to Eric Elliott, a spokesman for U.S. Africa Command (AFRICOM).

“You have operational names like Desert Storm or Iraqi Freedom that convey a message,” Elliott said in an interview. “Others, like Operation African Lion, are symbolic of the location. Odyssey Dawn is neither of those.”

The Pentagon permits military commanders to assign two-word nicknames to military exercises or operations by following instructions laid out in a carefully-crafted Defense Department naming policy. The instructions assign each military command with a certain range of words that must be used to select the nickname’s first word.

AFRICOM is assigned words that start with JS-JZ, NS-NZ and OA-OS, according toElliott. A recent headquarters exercise was called “Judicious Response” while another recent operation used the NS-NZ range, leaving OA-OS as the only option, he said.

“The goal is to create a name that has absolutely nothing to do with the activity of the region, so you could walk down the street in Washington during the planning stages and ensure that nobody knows it’s about Libya,” Elliott said.

Nicknames may be assigned “to actual events, projects, movement of forces, or other non–exercise activities,” according to the Pentagon. Officials are instructed to select titles that don’t “express a degree of hostility” or are “offensive to good taste or derogatory to a particular group, sect, or creed.”

Commanders are prohibited from using the words “project,” “exercise” or “operation” and cannot use words that may be used as a single word or two words, such as “moonlight.” The policy also bars “exotic words,” “trite expressions” and “well-known commercial trademarks.”

So how did commanders select “Odyssey Dawn?” A group of lieutenant colonels and majors met several weeks ago in the early planning stages of the operation and agreed that “Odyssey” was the only usable word in the OA-OS range. Then, “they sat around and brainstormed for a random word that went well with it,” Elliott said.

The BEGINNING of...THE END?

Sitting around a fire pit during the SUPERMOON event on Saturday, March 19th, a gentleman from Belgium whom I had never met, proclaimed, "I am not religious but everything going on these days is enough to make you believe, I mean, all this stuff is in the bible"...not exactly a profound statement but certainly one that has crossed the minds of most people recently. I'm not sure that I am willing to make that leap myself but there is certainly the feel that we are passing through the beginning of some end; for sure.

What made the past two days even more surreal for me has been the BEGINNING of Operation Odyssey Dawn in Libya (2001 + Lucifer), which coincided down here with The Blue Angels performing two days worth of airshows above the skies of Biloxi, Mississippi via Keesler Air Force Base. Again, in conjunction with the SUPERMOON and The Spring Equinox.



For a recap, I yield to Mr. Goro Adachi whose insight, and understanding of such matters continues to amaze me.

I have been meaning to address the idea of THE BEGINNING for some time now...several things in the news were poking me in the eye over the past few months, and so here they are:

January 25th-28th 2011, civil unrest in Egypt reminded me of some previous connects to President Obama.

In June of 2009, Egypt was selected as the site for President Obama to address Muslims around the World...

http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-dyn/content/article/2009/05/08/AR2009050803843.html?hpid=moreheadlines

"By selecting Egypt, Obama could expose himself to criticism in the Arab Middle East for showing tacit support for President Hosni Mubarak, who has governed the country for nearly three decades with scant tolerance for political opposition. The 81-year-old Mubarak, who is scheduled to meet with Obama in Washington this month, has used his security services to harass and detain political rivals and is preparing for his son to succeed him.

The Muslim Brotherhood, in particular, has used the U.S. support for Mubarak, who has jailed members of the Islamist opposition for years, to whip up anti-American sentiment in Egypt and beyond."

By total "coincidence" The Black Eyed Peas released a CD in 2009 entitled "The E.N.D" (Energy Never Dies" while following up with "The Beginning" on 11/30/2010...leading to a Halftime SUPER Bowl appearance earlier this year as violent protests, and the downfall of President Mubarak raged in Egypt. The Alpha, and the Omega once again...

The Black Eyed Peas just happened to be filming a new video in Japan the week of the SUPERQUAKE.
