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.
