A feast for the god of war

Chinese New Year, beginning the Year of the Fire Horse, coincides with Mardi Gras this year. I'm thinking this is not a good omen.

Mardi -- ruby Tuesday, stupid bloody Tuesday -- is the day of Mars. In the Chinese system, both Fire and the Horse are associated with Mars as well. Fat Tuesday suggests the feeding fat of an ancient grudge.

Come and gather yourselves together unto the supper of the great god, that ye may eat the flesh of kings, and the flesh of captains, and the flesh of mighty men, and the flesh of horses, and of them that sit on them!

After Mardi Gras, Lent. After the red horse bringing war, the black horse bringing famine.

Anyway, happy New Year!

William,
Isn't it interesting that Fats Domino,
the hippopotamus aka river horse,
the black ( dark ) horse, the color red and black
have all been in the sync stream
as of late?

Recall I recently commented on the guitarist Sergey's red
and black shoes. The Chicago's song,
25 or 6 to 4 is about Time as is the color black
and Saturn.

Copy and paste: asterisks mine note the number 4.

"Chicago’s 1971 hit from their second album – Chicago
(sometimes retroactively called Chicago II).

Made famous, in part, by its unique and not
obviously understood title (they finished writing
the lyrics at *****3:34, which is 25 or 26 minutes
until ******4 o'clock),
as well as the bass guitar riff and the guitar solo,
and a great horn section part.

Though the song was written by Chicago keyboardist
Robert Lamm, it was sung by bassist Peter Cetera,
as he had a higher vocal range than Lamm.

The song is also the answer to the song,
****“Does Anybody Really Know What Time It Is?”.

I believe that the Black Horse has already been unleashed.
Especially in America. The Rider of the Black Horse
and his financial scale for weighing food, housing,
health care and a denarius/money/current sea( currency)/dollar
bill, have been way off kilter especially
in the last 6 years, and IMHO, it's going to get worse
as all Great Resets do.

Recall I commented on the video below and what
I believe its symbolic reason ( The Four Horseman)
in April of 2024. Note the number 4.

Funny that those military horses ran "loose" and caused "havoc." As I was writing this post, the Shakespeare line "cry havoc and let slip the dogs of war" kept coming to mind, but I didn't include it in the post because it didn't fit the horse theme. Come to think of it though, some North American tribes referred to horses as "thunder dogs" or something similar.

William,
Sync fairies be busy, for real ;-)))

Verily, verily, no cap.

By the way, Debbie, this post also made me think of your husband's name ("horse servant of Mars").

William,
You know what else is really bee-zar?
After I made my comment on your previous post Chil the Kite
and the Day of Doom about the bank clerk
and the hippopotamus,
while typing that comment, I searched
the etymology of the word hippopotamus
and was surprised to learn that it means
a 'river horse'.
I didn't know that before.

Later on that same day after I posted
my comment, I browsed Amazon Prime Video
for a movie to watch and lo and behold
a title of a movie caught my eye.
The 2020 movie is titled : Hippopotamus
So of course I clicked it on to watch the movie
because, what's the odds?

I've never seen this movie before and
if it wasn't for my comment on
your post a few hours earlier, that title
would not have caught my eye.

So, I'm thinking there has got to be something
in this movie that I need to know.
It's a psychological thriller movie, which
I'm a fan of that genre and it did hold
my attention.

The storyline is about a young man name Thomas
who is obsessed with a young woman and kidnaps her.
A couple of interesting 'coincidences'
in the movie is that Thomas calls the young
woman Ruby.

Why that's odd is that one of my nicknames
that Marshall used to call me about 25 years ago
is Ruby. I don't know why he started to call me Ruby.
No one else calls me Ruby.
We don't know anyone named Ruby.
However he hasn't called me Ruby in a very long
while.

The young man's name in the movie is Thomas,
which I recall you saying the name Thomas
meaning 'twin'.

The name Marshall is not only a 'horse servant
( river horse, being a hippopotamus )
but my Marshall is also a double Mar.
So, there's a 'twin' connection.

Also In my 2008 Suzy dream, the news reporter
said on a broadcast that Suzy was from Mars.

I haven't figured out the message from
the movie that I'm suppose to know, or if there is one,
but as I've shared many times, I personally
do not believe in coincidences.

William,
Oh, I forgot to add.
In the Hippopotamus trailer, note the blue-gray
and red.
