The Dawn Of A New Day

This symbol is called a fasces.  The word comes from the Latin, fascis, which simply meant 'bundle.'  It's the root of the English word 'faggot,' which in British English means a bundle of twigs, or in the slang, a cigarette.  The symbol itself means, "strength through unity," which is obvious by the ax head sticking out of a bundle of twigs.  In other words, projecting power out of a unified bundle of people.  Lest Indonesian readers think this has nothing to do with them, then they might recognize this, "Bhinneka Tunggal Ika."

Fasces also happens to be the origin of another English word, "fascist."

To really understand what you are looking at, you must also know about the 'eagle,' or 'aquila.'

Notice anything?  For one thing, a lot of countries use the eagle symbol.  For another, it's been around for a long time.  Even the Babylonians used eagle's wings attached to lions with human heads as ubiquitous symbols.

Basically, the eagle represents the Sun.  As the eagle was able to fly so high, and was still able to see the smallest detail on the ground, it became a symbol of the gods.  As the Sun was the chief among the gods, that the eagle could get so close and not get burned meant is was pretty special.

Ikarus and Daedalus of Greek legend built wings of eagle feathers so that they could soar close to the Sun, as well.  Famously, Daedalus got a bit too close and he crashed into the sea.  If the eagle got too close, he would be consumed in flames, but would rise again from the ashes...the Phoenix.

Now the Sun is a big deal.  The symbolism for that thing is huge, deep and complicated.  Suffice it to say that it represents the Light of the World, knowledge, gnosis, illumination.  Those who bear the symbol of the eagle have come close to the Sun, and therefore have special knowledge.  They have been illuminated.  They are Illuminati.

The other thing to note about eagles is that they have two wings, the left wing and the right wing.  The eagle is a two-party system.  The US, of course, is two party.  Most countries that bear the symbol of the eagle are moving towards two-party systems.  Indonesia just passed legislation that will ultimately move it to a two-party system.  Singapore this year is introducing a second party, just so everyone thinks they have a choice.  You can have Communism (the left) or Fascism (the Right).  Either way, the Illuminated win, because both wings belong to them.

It's the hegelian dialectic.  You are presented false choices, then change agents steer the discussion until the masses select one of the preselected choices.  The choice is presented as concensus, though any dissent or alternatives were eliminated before you ever got the choice.

Societies are steered through the use of the hegelian dialectic, making false choices and thinking they have selected what they have.  Meantime, the true leaders, the illuminated ones, manipulate symbols, both to control the masses and to communicate to each other.

One such coded communication is something called, "The New Dawn," or "Dawn of a New Day."  These codes refer to the ultimate subjugation of the entire world under their control.  It's a new world order, in other words.  Novus Ordo Seclorum.  Out of the many, they have crafted one order for themselves, by themselves and from themselves.  E pluribus unum.  Bhinneka Tuggul Ika.  The fasces.  Power projected from the uniting of the masses into one bundle.

Perhaps you noticed GW Bush's Operation New Dawn in Iraq.  Maybe you recall Obama's promise of a New Dawn in US leadership.  In fact, a few seconds on Google searching those terms will bring up literally thousands of examples of 'leaders' and 'famous' people using them.  Go to imdb.com and search the terms in movie quotes and titles.  Bet you never noticed it before.

How about this?

Gee, do you think that could be the 'dawn of a new day' in Obama's campaign logo?

But wait!  Isn't the the 'dawn of a new day' there at the bottom of the Soviet Union's coat of arms?   And aren't those symbolic eagle wings surrounding the whole thing?  The five-pointed star symbolizes Lucifer, the Morning Star, but that's a whole other can of wax, to mix a metaphor or two.

China Coat of Arms - Sun as cog wheel

Hey!  There it is again on China's seal, though they gave it a cursory disguise, of course.  And notice how the symbolic wings are also bundles, or fasces, and that they spring from the rising Sun.  The eagle's tail is disguised as a drapery, but the design elements are unmistakable.  Mistakes?  Just coincidence?  Nice graphic elements?  OK, sure.

It's really astounding once you start looking for these things.  The fasces, the eagle, the sun rising...they're everywhere!  They are coded communications among those who think they own humanity.  That includes those who, on this particular day, celebrate the "Son Rise."

The Dawn of a New Day

Oops, did that slip out?  Well, since it's already on the table, go into your church today and see how many eagles and rising suns you can find.  Should keep you busy for an hour or so.  Start with the top of the American flag, if you're in the States.  And while you're at it, see if you can figure out why the state flag has a spear head on it.  Bonus points awarded.

So, next time you wonder if your country is becoming a fascist state, all you need to do is look for the symbols.  Bet you can find a million of them.

Why, just take a look at the US House of Representatives during Obama's State of the Union address.  Notice anything?

Notice the two giant fasces on either side of the podium.  Could it be...fascists?!

Those aren't eagles and fasces, are they?  Naw, I didn't think so...

Oh, and if you want a lot more information about all this, and a whole lot more, check out Jordan Maxwell.  He's the guy that Dan Brown based his symbologist/hero on.  It's amazing stuff for those with hungry minds.

Happy Day of Ester.  May all you have be fertile.



Your homework?

Here's the Singapore Coat of Arms.  See if you can interpret the symbols.  Hint: lions, 5-pointed stars, crescent moons, and pentagrams are just the beginning.  And is that really the Moon?  Can you think of any planets that present a crescent when viewed from Earth?  Have fun!

Oh, ok, one more hint: how many fingers do the lion and the tiger have showing at the top?  Also, be sure and look at outlines and negative spaces.  That's all.  The rest is up to you.

Pax Romanae

Ah, once again we celebrate that time-honored pagan celebration of Easter.  It began with Maundy Thursday, led into Good Friday, followed by Holy Saturday, and culminates in Easter Sunday.  If you are a Christian, then you have most likely been read (few actually actively read...) the Gospel accounts:

On Thursday, at sundown, Jesus and the Apostles gathered for the Passover meal.  Later, some of them repair to the garden for a walk and some fresh air.  Jesus gets arrested, taken before the Sanhedrin, gets condemned to death, but wait!, let's let the Romans do it so we don't get blamed for killing a major political figure.  So they haul Jesus to Pontius Pilat, who in turn interviews Jesus but doesn't get very far.  So he sends our hero half way across Palestine, to Herod, who plays around with Jesus a bit and then sends him half-way across Palestine again, to let old PP have another go.  Old PP takes our hero out back and has him whipped a little, then puts him up in front of the crowd, who naturally chooses the thieving, murdering liar Barabbas over our hero (a perfect example of democracy in action).  Thus at a loss on what to do with Jesus, PP orders him taken up the hill and crucified at the mob's request.  Finally, by noon on Friday, Jesus is hung out to dry.

That has got to be one of the fastest examples of the Wheels of Justice ever recorded!  In less than 12 hours, Jesus has a couple of trials, is hauled back and forth across Palestine, sees pretty much the entire ruling class of the region, and dies by noon the next day.  Pardon me if I have a problem with this story.  In fact, even the Gospels seem to have a bit of a problem.  Matthew, Luke and Mark pack all the action into one night, but good, old John says it a little different, giving us two days.  Hmmm...and that's the Gospel Truth.  Go read it.

So, we have this little time-line problem going.  But, that's not all...

You see, the story of God-Becomes-Man-Dies-And-Resurrects was ancient even in Jesus' time.  In fact, the story is one of the oldest in Humanity's collection of stories.  By some accounts, this story is well over 10,000 years old.

One example is the Egyptian story of Osiris.  Seems Ossy got into a battle and was hacked into 14 pieces.  His sister/wife Isis collected the pieces, all except for the phallus which disappeared, and reassembled them inside a tree trunk.  The missing phallus was replaced with a magical device that allowed Isis to impregnate herself before she sealed up the tree trunk and threw it in the Nile.  Three days later, Osiris was resurrected in his new trans-human form (with the magical phallus, we presume).

Now the whole bit with tree trunks and three days has a familiar ring to it, que no?  Not to mention the rather thinly veiled renditions of Mary and Jesus in the image of Isis and Horus.

To all this, we add the story of the Roman emperor Constantine.  He was watching the Roman Empire sliding inexorably into the history books, led in part by infighting among dozens of competing religions.  In an effort to quell the bickering and save the empire, he ordered a bunch of religious types into a room in Turkey and told them to come up with something.  Which they did.  It is called the Universal Roman Church, or Roman Catholic.

The council of Nicea blended pieces of several religions into a single amalgam that made everyone happy.  The monotheists had One God.  The polytheists had a Trinity.  The goddess worshipers were given Mary and the Osiris worshipers were given Jesus.  The Sun worshipers were given Sunday and those who just needed a pantheon and ancestor worship were given saints.

None of it really resembled Christianity, which was a whole different beast.  The Christians believed that their guy was the new Fisher King, come to establish the Kingdom of the New Age.  Their religio-political movement was an outcrop on the Essenes, who in turn had blended certain aspects of Judaism and Buddhism.  Their system postulated apotheosis, in which every man could become god through certain practices.

The whole idea of apotheosis is really central to this whole thing.  Certainly, the Buddhists believe in it, and various sects throughout Western history believe in it.  There are hints of it throughout the Old and New Testaments, even as Jesus said 'all this I do, you can do, and more.'  In the US, George Washington is assumed to has undergone apotheosis, and that moment is enshrined on the ceiling of the US capitol dome.  Some scholars argue that Jesus also went through this process, as he began by calling himself the Son of Man, but later changed to the Son of God.  Go read it.  I'm not making this up.

At any rate, Constantine (remember him?) had hit on a solution to the ills of the Roman Empire.  Now, the emperor was truly the center of the official religion, and that religion had something for everyone.  No matter what your parental belief system was, you could find the core beliefs all tied up in a neat little box in this Universal Church.

Did it work?  Well, the Catholic Church is the richest, most powerful organization on Earth...right now.  It is the single largest land owner, and the leaders of the world still come to the Emperor (now called Pope) to get their blessing and approval.  Roman Law is the core of most legal systems on Earth.  Pretty much all corporations are given their legal status as 'persons' through a complex and very well hidden link to the Vatican.  In fact, the Vatican is the only sovereign religious headquarters on Earth.  And it has survived and perpetuated the Roman Empire throughout the world for 2,000 years.

Don't know about you, but that sounds pretty darned successful to me.  In fact, few seem to realize it, but the Godfather series of books and films were really a documentary.  I avoided watching any of the films until last year.  Despite their fame and adulation, I had no desire to see them.  I knew what was in them.  I had seen it first-hand.  The scene where Michael gets absolution from the future pope...well, there you go.

The banking ills of the world are laid at the feet of the Vatican.  Its bank is the root of all evil.  All roads lead to Rome.  That's why no matter what horrible things the Church leaders do, the institution is untouchable.  No major event on Earth occurs without the blessing and approval of the Vatican.

Oh, and who killed JFK?  The Vatican, of course.  JFK signed an Executive Order creating a new, independent US currency based on silver.  Look it up.  He died not long after that.  How dare a Catholic stand up to the secular power of the Holy Roman Empire?  From that point forward, we were given the Pax Americana.  Now why do you think they'd use a 2,000 year old dead language for that term, and run everything out of a city in Virginia that is up to its gills in Graeco-Roman architecture?

And trust me, when the American Empire, and the Pax Americana falls into dust, the Romans will still be there.

Those who don't study history are doomed to repeat it.
