116 pages at 11:19 AM

In a May 15 comment on "These ladder days," a post that prominently featured the number 116, Bill brought up the lost 116 pages of the Book of Mormon manuscript:

116 is also a fairly well-known number in Mormonism due to the lost 116 pages.

Reflecting on the 116 pages had me think about that overall theme of sacred writings being taken with the intent, apparently, to alter them. . . .

Just now, I found this tweet on AC, referring to a recently released UFO document as "116 pages of pure nightmare fuel."

🇺🇸 CHILLING! Freshly released files from the Armed Forces Special Weapons Program (the guys who took over after the Manhattan Project) dropped 116 pages of pure nightmare fuel.

Between 1948 and 1950, military personnel at Sandia, New Mexico documented no less tha 209 sightings!… https://t.co/SA4SeJjs47 pic.twitter.com/J9BVuxEyaH

It's funny that it's about Sandia, New Mexico. That's Spanish for "watermelon," and there's a long-running sync connection between watermelons and aliens. See for example "Cucurbits from an alien land" (June 2021).

When I went back to Bill's comment so I could copy some of it into this post, I noticed that the timestamp was 11:19 AM. In a May 20 comment on "The Ant Money experiment: Immediate results," I had written:

The 1 and 50 under the monkey actually represent 1.50, or one and a half. The "ant money" in the Book of Mormon is a denomination of gold called the ANTION (cf. ANTImONy), which is worth 1.5 measures of grain. It is mentioned once only, and I'm sure Debbie will appreciate the chapter and verse. It's Alma 11:19.

My reason for drawing attention to that scripture reference was that Debbie comments here under the pseudonym Ra1119bee. The match with Bill's comment is even closer, though, as they share the colon and the letters AM and both relate to the Book of Mormon.

A very pale White guy with a Phrygian cap

I'm still batting a thousand with these randomly selected /x/ threads.

I just did a reverse image search for the title image in my post "Nobody is going to die" to find where the image came from, discovered that it's a Chinese propaganda poster from the 1980s, and then left a comment to that effect on the post. When I clicked "Publish" for that comment, the screen displayed the bottom of that post's comment page, showing my new comment about the Chinese poster as well as the bottom portion of the previous comment, which was a long one from Debbie. At the top of my screen was this paragraph from Debbie's comment, and it caught my attention for some reason:

Recall I shared that Oscar was a very pale White

guy with red hair wearing a red/russet color hat, which

after much research I determined was a Phrygian

cap.  The setting in the dream where Oscar's

parents lived was on a white capped mountain

in Switzerland.

Debbie has shared her Oscar dream many times, so there was nothing new to me in that paragraph, but it caught my eye anyway and seemed vaguely significant. The words I have bolded would turn out to be syncs.

Immediately after publishing my comment and noticing the above paragraph from Debbie, I clicked for another random /x/ thread -- because it certainly appears that now is an unusually good time for that particular sort of cleromancy. I got a 2019 thread titled "Ask a regular guy anything," with this as the lead image:

That's "a very pale White guy" in the most literal possible sense -- he's carved out of white marble -- and he's wearing a Phrygian cap. Although Debbie specifies that Oscar's cap was red, the paragraph also includes the phrase "white capped," and the word "hat" is directly below the word "White." (Debbie does her carriage returns by hand, presumably an old habit that has survived from the days of typewriters. I usually reformat her comments when I quote them here, but in this case I preserved the original line length.)

The image is a detail from a 2nd-century statue of Mithras slaying the bull.

In the above photo, a white stone Mithras is sacrificing a white stone bull in front of the number 33. In Debbie's comment, she emphasizes the number 33 as "where sacrifices are performed," and she connects a white stone with a the sound a cow makes.

Rancho Santa Fe Cali ( location of the suicides )

is on the 33 degree parallel , where sacrifices

are performed. DFW is on the 33.

Regarding the milky crystal that the space man

gave me, milk of course is white.  Milk and Honey.

 The Mooo--on and the Sun.

Mithras is a form of the Persian name Mithra, the Sun god -- so the statue depicts, as Debbie puts it, "the Mooo-on and the Sun." The name Mithridates means "given by Mithra." Yesterday's post "Mithridates, he died old" quotes, and takes its title from the final line of, A. E. Housman's poem "Terence, This Is Stupid Stuff." The first stanza of that poem refers to the killing of a cow:

The cow, the old cow, she is dead;

It sleeps well, the horned head:

We poor lads, 'tis our turn now

To hear such tunes as killed the cow.

I'm not sure how relevant this is, but Mithra-names make me think of Mithrandir, one of the names of Gandalf the Grey, who later became Gandalf the Very Pale White Guy. He is known for fighting a Balrog, usually portrayed as having horns like a bull (though I don't think Tolkien himself mentions this feature). Bill has posted about a Balrog called "Son of Baal-ox," reinforcing the bovine connection.

What comes after Tintin in the periodic table?

In my April 2021 post "Tintin, St. George, and, uh, lots of other things!", I mention something that was picked up on by Internet synchromystics back in 2011, when the movies 50/50 and The Adventures of Tintin were released around the same time: Since 50 is the atomic number of tin, Tintin corresponds to 50/50.

In that post, I also bring in the chemical symbol Sn, noting that Tintin's dog is called Snowy and that a movie released the next year, Lockout, has a character whose name is said in one scene to be Snow Snow.

Now we're focused on the next element in the periodic table -- antimony, atomic number 51. As I noted in "May 20 anniversaries: Section 51 and Levi Strauss blue jeans," one of the reasons 51 is significant is that Section 51 of the Doctrine and Covenants was, uniquely, received in the tiny town of Thompson, Geauga County, Ohio -- which was my mailing address when I lived in Ohio, even though I was technically located in Leroy Township, Lake County.

After 50/50, or Tintin, comes 51/51. Since the number 51 has been connected to the name Thompson, the Tintin link is obvious:

These, for the philistines in the audience, are a pair of recurring characters in the Tintin books: two nearly identical detectives called Thomson and Thompson.

Thinking of Tintin's dog, Snowy, I thought there might be a connection to "Oo-ee-oo-ah-ah." That post juxtaposes the title chant, from the song "Witch Doctor," with a Seinfeld scene in which George, having been given the nickname Koko after the famous gorilla, receives a jersey numbered 00, which he says means "oo, as in oo-oo-ah-ah." That post also mentions that the Chinese number five, also pronounced "oo," is usually transliterated as wu, with the initial w having no sound. All of this seemed related to Snowy's distinctive barking sound, "Wooah!" As I kid, I always mentally pronounced it as "Whoa!" but later I realized it was probably supposed to be a two-syllable "Woo-ah!"

I did an image search, and the first picture I found that had Snowy saying "Wooah!" also had a gorilla -- the very animal that inspired George Costanza's "oo-oo-ah-ah" jersey.

The scientific name of this animal is Gorilla gorilla, so we're still on the doubling theme.

We are the golden men, who shall the people save

I'm getting lots of significant results from random /x/ threads these days. Yesterday, I posted "Nobody is going to die," posting this image from a random /x/ thread and focusing on the white clothing. It was the second image in the thread, timestamped Wed 05 Apr 2023 02:22:17. 

This morning, I clicked again for a random /x/ thread and got a different one -- but in this thread, too, this was the second image, timestamped Fri 14 Apr 2023 02:28:55.

Both of these were "Nobody General" threads, and both are from April 2023. (The random threads are selected from an archive going back to April 2013. The odds of getting two consecutive threads from the same month are quite low.)

Given the extreme improbability of getting two threads from the same month with the same second image, I decided to strike again while the iron was hot. The next thread I got, from April 2021, was titled "The Golden Men." This was the lead image:

And here is the text of the original post (boldface added):

WE are the golden men, who shall the people save :

For only ours are visions, perfect and divine ;

And we alone are drunken with the last best wine ;

And very Truth our souls hath flooded, wave on wave.

Come, wretched death’s inheritors, who dread the grave !

Come ! for upon our brows is set the starry sign

Of prophet, priest, and king : star of the Lion’s line !

Leave Abana, leave Pharpar, and in Jordan lave !

It thundered, and we heard : it lightened, and we saw :

Our hands have torn in twain the Tables of the Law :

Sons of the Spirit, we know nothing more of sin.

Come ! from the Tree of Eden take the mystic fruit :

Come ! pluck up God’s own knowledge by the abysmal root :

Come ! you, who would the Reign of Paradise begin.

what is this poetry means? some dude with a white robe and a gold mask made me said the first sentence in my dream.

he made me kneel and made me say "we are the golden men" and went away. i didn't know anything about the poetry before dream. i woke up and googled it with double quotes and found out.

it was almost two years ago and i still dont see a man who would the reign of paradise begin, in me.

what do you think?

It's a sonnet by Lionel Johnson, published in 1896, titled "Münster: a.d. 1534," apparently referring to the Anabaptist rebellion. The Pharazonic imagery is extremely obvious -- golden men, a flood, dreading the grave, drunknness -- and it even includes a name beginning with Phar-. The reference to "some dude with a white robe" ties back to the "Nobody is going to die" post, and of course Pharazon was motivated by a desire to overcome death.

The line "upon our brows is set the starry sign" is a link to a May 21 comment Bill left on "Rumi, Wanderjahre, Area 51, 666 phone numbers":

Tolkien wrote of . . . Earendil sailing to Valinor with a Silmaril shining on his forehead (on a large white ship shaped like a swan... you recently had imagery of someone riding a great white bird into heaven). This red car has a shining star right on his forehead. This is one artist's depiction of Earendil with the silmaril:

Although Bill uses the word forehead, Tolkien's own word for the location of Earendil's starry gem is brow, the same word used by Lionel Johnson.

In Tolkien, Earendil with his Silmaril becomes the planet Venus. The Nordic aliens encountered by Adamski, mentioned in the "Nobody is going to die" post, claimed to be from Venus.

In "Long green ships and the bad ol' debil" (May 17), I directly tied this to Earendil:

Another interpretive option is to note the similarity of Adamski's Venusians to Tolkien's Vanyar and conclude that their claim to be "from" the Star of Earendil was symbolic.

Note added: Lionel Johnson, it turns out, shares my birthday. He was born on the Ides of March 1867.

Further note added: That "Witch Doctor" video (see "Oo-ee-oo-ah-ah") shows lots of golden masks -- a series of different witch doctor masks, each of which momentarily switches colors with the gold wallpaper. For example:

Nobody is going to die

In my Mormon-related browsing online, I ran across a photo, which I will not reproduce here, of a man in Mormon Temple clothing -- white clothes with a white cap, and a green apron -- raising his right hand. (Actually, it was a mirror image of a ritual gesture that involves raising the left hand.)

A few minutes later, I clicked for a random /x/ thread (because that's been working pretty well recently) and got this one, with this as the second image:

As I was preparing this post -- downloading the image and all that -- I was listening to a Zion Media video, which I clicked on just because the thumbnail featured the number 666, which has been in the sync stream. The moment I inserted the above picture into the post -- a picture which had caught my eye because of its similarity to Temple clothing and gestures -- the speaker, James Skousen, said the words "temple clothing." This is the whole sentence:

You know, people whine about what they can't eat, about what they should or shouldn't wear, temple clothing, whining about coffee, tea, just whining, generally speaking.

Earlier in the podcast, the host, Shane Baldwin (antimony initials!), pointed out that Skousen believes the "king of Assyria" mentioned in Isaiah is actually someone who is going to arrive in a spaceship this year or next:

SB: Um, and so for everybody who doesn't know, you believe that the king of Assyria is coming in a spaceship.

JS: Yes, absolutely. Yeah, the king of Assyria is not from Earth.

I am currently reading Flying Saucers Have Landed, George Adamski's account of his encounter with what are called "Nordic aliens," who arrived in a spaceship. Here's an example of how aliens of this type are typically portrayed in art:

Update (May 23, 9:40 a.m.): I just clicked for another random /x/ thread, and got this one, in which the second image is the same "Nobody is going to die" image as above.

Oo-ee-oo-ah-ah

The Chinese words for 5 and 1 are transliterated wu and yi. However, the initial consonants are just to indicate that the vowel begins a syllable and are not pronounced -- so the numbers sound like "oo" and "ee," respectively. Thus, thinking about the number 51 made me think of the David Seville song "Witch Doctor," with its "Oo-ee-oo-ah-ah" chorus, so I gave it a listen. The first result on YouTube was the Chipmunks version:

Immediately after listening to that, I clicked for a random /x/ thread and got this one. This was the lead image:

It says "THE VVITCH" -- with the capital W written in the old style, as VV. Spelled this way, the word now includes VI, the Roman numerals for 5 and 1. I believe the ancient Romans would have pronounced these two letters the same as the Chinese numbers: "oo" and "ee."

There's also a certain resemblance to my last name -- TycHoniEVICH -- and in fact I used that old-fashioned W in the header image on one of my old blogs, from 2009.

I guess Debbie likely knows where that comes from.

"Oo-ee" also maked me think of the Seinfeld episode discussed in "Koko the monkey with no tail." After George Costanza receives the nickname Koko, after "that monkey that could read sign language," his co-workers give him a jersey with 00 on it. Jerry thinks it's "double zero," but George clarifies that it means "oo, as in oo-oo-ah-ah!"

Ant Money Batman

In a comment on "Pi-hundred weeks, and Area 51 on May 20," Debbie mentioned that the words monkey and banana each have six letters. My immediate thought was to dismiss that as a "Famous Polka"-level coincidence. I thought, "Come on, lots and lots of words have six letters. Batman has six letters!" Of all the six-letter words that would have served equally well as an example, that's the one that happened to come to mind.

Later, it occurred to me to check if any interesting words added up to 51 in S:E:G: (Simple English Gematria, where A = 1 and Z = 26). The quickest way to look that sort of thing up is on gematrix.org. Its default "English gematria" is S:E:G multiplied by 6 (A = 6 and Z = 156), so if you want to look up a particular S:E:G: value, you need to multiply it by 6. I mentally calculated that to get results for 51, I would need to search for 306. Wait, that number seemed familiar. I checked, and yes, my "Area 51" shipping label from "Rumi, Wanderjahre, Area 51, 666 phone numbers" includes 306 as well as 51.

When I checked Gematrix, I was amused to see Batman -- the word I had randomly thought of as an example of something obviously meaningless -- near the top of the list:

It is as the atomic number of antimony that 51 entered -- or, rather, was deliberately shoehorned into -- the sync stream. That word also has some interesting gematria results:

I then went to the bank to use the ATM, where I saw this:

It's a "bat man," and written on his bat is "Anti-Money Laundering." The similarity to antimony and Ant Money is obvious.
