        <p><em>Albion is sick! said every Valley, every mournful Hill <br />
			 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 And every River: our brother Albion is sick to death. <br />
			 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 He hath leagued himself with robbers! he hath studied the 
			arts <br />
			 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 Of unbelief! Envy hovers over him! his Friends are his 
			abhorrence! <br />
			 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 Those who give their lives for him are despised! <br />
			 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 Those who devour his soul, are taken into his bosom! <br />
			 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 To destroy his Emanation is their intention: <br />
			 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 Arise! awake O Friends of the Giant Albion <br />
			 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 They have perswaded him of horrible falshoods! <br />
			 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 They have sown errors over all his fruitful fields! </em></p><p>from William Blake&#39;s <em>Jerusalem: the Emanation of the Great Albion</em>, Plate 36</p><p><br />On or around 19 November of this year, a hacker penetrated the servers of the University of East Anglia&#39;s Climate Research Unit (CRU) and netted 160 MB worth of emails and documents, many of them clearly showing falsification of climatic data, and thus confirming what intelligent people throughout the world have known all along: global warming/climate change has nothing to do with science and environmental protection and has everything to do with expensive totalitarian world government. This is big because the CRU controls the Hadley Centre <a href="http://www.metoffice.gov.uk/climatechange/science/hadleycentre/">http://www.metoffice.gov.uk/climatechange/science/hadleycentre/</a>, which in turn, is one of the four main data sources for the UN&#39;s IPCC.</p><p>Global warming is just one of many diabolical conspiracies facing this planet.&#160; Fractional reserve banking is much bigger than Climategate and behind it all is the calcification of the pineal gland, which reminds us of the pharmaceutical cartel&#39;s conspiracy to soft-kill you, or, give you iatrogenic illness or death--but that&#39;s for another time.&#160; </p><p>An evil force rules this world (for now).&#160; Everything is upside down.&#160; Religious leaders lie.&#160; Politicians lie.&#160; Scientists lie.&#160; Environmentalists lie.&#160; The mass media lie.&#160; Teachers and professors, whether they know it or not, spew shit out of their mouths when they tell kiddies in their classrooms that we&#39;re all going to die from rising sea levels (if we don&#39;t listen to Pope Erog La).&#160; <em>Fluorescent lights, nuclear power, carbon footprint taxes--three big ways to save polar bears.</em></p><p>I&#39;ve posted this <a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UXdUW3-7Qyk">http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UXdUW3-7Qyk</a> before but it is a good example of how desperate the demonic Cult of Global Warming is these days.&#160; Another example is to watch the Stuart Varney interview of Ed Begley (see entry from yesterday), the latter of whom goes nuts with his appeal to authority.&#160; <em>Fuck it, Stuart, don&#39;t you realize I&#39;ve invested my life in climate change!?&#160; To admit I&#39;m wrong is to lose face.&#160; I just can&#39;t do that.</em></p><p>The cultists&#39; main weapon is the logical fallacy, appeal to authority.&#160; <em>Show me you PhD or peer-reviewed papers.</em>&#160; Well just because something has been peer-reviewed or just because you have a PhD doesn&#39;t <em>necessarily</em> mean anything. A high school dropout could just as easily be telling you the truth of a particular matter.&#160; Most PhDs, thinking of keeping their careers, will tell you the Twin Towers and Building Seven collapsed because of &quot;structural failure caused by intense fires&quot;. </p><p>Exposing the fraud that is global warming/climate change is just the beginning of building a paradise on Earth.&#160; There are many more to follow, some of which you can&#39;t even mention on family-orientated blogs in the early 21st-century.&#160; But just before more money is wasted in Copenhagen on more feel good cocktail drinking sessions, it is entertaining to see Global Warming High Priest George Monbiot suffering from a mild dose of angst <a href="http://www.guardian.co.uk/environment/georgemonbiot/2009/nov/25/monbiot-climate-leak-crisis-response">http://www.guardian.co.uk/environment/georgemonbiot/2009/nov/25/monbiot-climate-leak-crisis-response</a>.&#160; &#160; &#160; &#160;&#160; &#160; &#160;

<p>On my trip to the beaches of the Mayan Riviera in January 2008, I was astounded to see the amount of garbage that litters the beaches that are outside of the hotel zones.  This garbage washes ashore after being dumped by ships at sea.  Plastic items are the most common, because they float and don&#39;t break down in the environment.  Did the shampoo bottle you threw away on your Caribbean cruise end up on this Mexico beach??</p></p>   <p style="clear:both;">

<p>I actually lost this one as I was taking its photo.  It ran off the table and down a crack in the deck.  I guess it&#39;s making lots of baby redbacks!</p>

<p>Thank you so much for your comments &amp; faves. </p>

<p>Everyone always wants to know about toxicity...  According to the Australian Museum website <a href="http://www.austmus.gov.au/factSheets/redback.htm.." rel="nofollow">www.austmus.gov.au/factSheets/redback.htm..</a>.  Redback bites occur frequently, particularly over the summer months. More than 250 cases receive antivenom each year, with several milder envenomations probably going unreported. Only the female bite is dangerous. They can cause serious illness and have caused deaths. However, since Redback Spiders rarely leave their webs, humans are not likely to be bitten unless a body part such as a hand is put directly into the web, and because of their small jaws many bites are ineffective. The venom acts directly on the nerves, resulting in release and subsequent depletion of neurotransmitters.</p>

<p>The truth is that most of us live with these spiders daily and rarely see them - this one had made its web underneath a metal bucket in the backyard.</p>   <p style="clear:both;">

Mr Manly P. Hall, when the Third Eye opens, does Draco become your subject, instead of you being its bonded slave?<br />

        <p>I haven&#39;t confirmed the following but here are some thoughts about this fascinating photo.&#160; </p><p>That&#39;s not just a pine cone.&#160; It&#39;s a human pineal gland.&#160; The two peacocks represent the brain&#39;s hemispheres.&#160; They also symbolize male &amp; female, left &amp; right, day &amp; night, weakness &amp; strength, cold &amp; hot, wet &amp; dry, dominion &amp; slavery, peace &amp; war, grace &amp; ugliness...</p><p>The pineal gland is all important because its calcification in most of our brains is directly related to the fluoridated, aspartame-flavored, GMO-modified, debt-feeding, nurdle-wrapped, carbon dioxide-hating, Rihanna-worshiping<span style="font-size: 0.8em;">@</span> nuthouse we live in, here on Earth.&#160; </p><p>A Numerical Paradise is here now, however.&#160; Sun &amp; Moon appear the same size from here on Earth.&#160; Earth &amp; Moon are a squared circle and thus Heaven &amp; Earth meet.&#160;&#160; Moon is 3 units in diameter; Earth is 11 units, a 3:11 ratio.&#160; </p><p>3 x 11 = 33</p><p>There are 33 vertebrae in the human spine, the top of which, nested between the brain&#39;s left and right hemispheres, sits the Logos, Jesus, the Pigna.&#160; </p><p>Life is a ladder, a tree, a beanstalk, a tower, a spine, an axis, an ascension.&#160; When you get to the top, you meet the Light of the World, the Sun of God.</p><p>The Pineal equals the Sun.&#160; Consider the Chaldean Order* <a href="http://a0.vox.com/6a00e398b114200005011015f688c0860b-pi">http://a0.vox.com/6a00e398b114200005011015f688c0860b-pi</a>.&#160; The Sun sits on a Throne atop the star balanced by 3 planets on the left, and 3 planets on the right.&#160; </p><p>Look at the 7 upper windows in the photo.&#160; The Pineal fits in the middle of them.&#160; The window wings you can just make out, remind us of this (a) <a href="http://content.answers.com/main/content/img/oxford/Oxford_Architecture/0198606788.caduceus.1.jpg">http://content.answers.com/main/content/img/oxford/Oxford_Architecture/0198606788.caduceus.1.jpg</a>.</p><p><br />As Above So Below.&#160; </p><p>The Pineal is the tiny endocrine gland in Earthly humans, the Microcosmic.&#160; The half-dome ceiling represents the Heavens, the Macrocosmic.&#160; When opposites unite, the double serpent/dragon is tamed.&#160; Lawrence O says the Pigna used to be in the Pantheon.&#160; I haven&#39;t been able to confirm this so far because the information I&#39;ve seen contradicts this claim.&#160; However, in its present location sitting under the Heavens, one can&#39;t help but think of the Thrice Greatest Hermes.&#160; </p><p><br /><em>The Hymn of the Pearl</em> is an ancient gnostic text that, according to David Fideler, is about &quot;the soul&#39;s origin, forgetfulness, and subsequent recollection of its true nature.&quot;&#160; Our mission is to retrieve the Pearl from a watery serpent to remember who we are.&#160; It sounds like the awakening of the Pineal.&#160; </p><p>The human body is around 80% water.&#160; We live in a world at present wherein we are constantly conditioned to forget who we are. &#160; It is possible, nevertheless, to ascend the spine and world axis and tame the dragon/serpent (often appearing as twin opposites).&#160; When that happens Heaven and Hell unite.&#160; The Precessional Circle opens because Draco is tamed.</p><p>Sunlight is the key to wholeness.&#160; We have to build bridges to the Light of the World in order to illuminate a sick world. Wholeness is health and a healthy pineal shines light.&#160; </p><p>hrm is onto something profound.&#160; &#160; </p><p><span style="font-size: 0.8em;">*The Chaldean Order is a heptagon revealing why there are 7 days a week and why they are ordered the way they are, the relative speed of each of the 7 traditional planets as seen from Earth, the ruling god of the day.&#160; It&#39;s misleading to think the Order is Chaldean, Egyptian, Hebraic or what have you.&#160; The &quot;Chaldean Order&quot; is a discovery about the nature of the universe.</p><p>@<a href="http://vigilantcitizen.com/?p=2806">http://vigilantcitizen.com/?p=2806</a><br /></span><br /><a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/paullew/" rel="dc:creator cc:attributionURL" title="Link to Lawrence OP&#39;s photostream"><strong>Lawrence O</strong></a>
