Humpty Dumpty, Neptune's Messiah

In yesterday's post "Then we'll do an earthquake. That's Israel attacking Athene," I interpreted -- or rather thought in a dream that Bill would interpret -- those sentences as referring to Atlantis/Numenor. The logic behind this is that earthquakes are Poseidon's bailiwick, and Poseidon was the god of Atlantis. Also, Atlantis sank just after an attempt to conquer Athens ("attacking Athene").

A long-running theme on this blog, and formerly on Bill's, is that Humpty Dumpty is a symbol of Pharazon, the last king of Numenor, who led Tolkien's equivalent of the ill-fated attack on Athens.

In "Some say the world will end in fire," the song sung by the Background Brethren included the line "Pray for Satan's salvation," and I noted that this line came from artist and professional atheist Normal Bob Smith, someone I haven't thought about in a very long time. Today, wondering if he was still around, I looked up his website. I was surprised to discover that one of the products he is selling is a booklet called Humpty Dumpty: The True Story of Neptune's Messiah. There's really nothing about Neptune or Messiahs in it -- it's just the story of Humpty Dumpty, illustrated in Normal Bob's signature grotesque style -- but the title is certainly synchronistically interesting. Although Robert Graves would object to the equation, Neptune is generally considered to be the Roman name for Poseidon.
