Random Thoughts On Shrubbery

There is some next-level weirdness going on right now and it's going to take a little explanation to see it, so please bear with me as I put all the pieces together.

Osiris, Isis and Horus were ancient Egyptian deities.  Osiris and Isis were brother and sister, as well as husband and wife.  Together, they produced Horus, their son.  Even the shallowest of efforts will demonstrate the similarities between this Holy Family and the one commonly revered in Christianity.  In fact, their story has numerous parallels with central elements of the Christian faith, particularly death/resurrection.

To make an incredibly long and complex story as concise as possible, Osiris got into a huge fight with his brother Set, and Osiris was hacked into 14 pieces.  Isis collected the pieces and sealed them inside a tree trunk, except for the penis.  Isis was a virgin, you see, and hadn't yet borne a child with Osiris.

Isis tossed the tree trunk into the Nile river and impregnated herself with the severed penis.  After three days, Osiris was reborn as the constellation we call Orion, while Isis gave birth to Horus.  Horus went on to take revenge on Set for killing his father.

The reader may, at this point, appreciate the similarities to Disney's The Lion King, as well.

At this point, Horus becomes Mars, red with anger and wrath.  During the battle, Horus receives an horrific wound to the face and loses his eye, though he ultimately vanquishes Set.

Millennia later, Mariner 9 (1970s) revealed to the world (for the first time?) that Mars did indeed have a immense scar across its face (Valles Marinaris).

Jumping around, we come to another ancient Egyptian deity called Bennu.

Bennu is symbolized by the Nile stork, a large ungainly looking bird.  The Bennu was said to have created itself before the world, and was intimately involved in the First Creation.  The Bennu is often cited as the prototype for the Western phoenix bird which, at the end of its life is consumed in flames and then resurrects itself from the ashes.

We should also make a side note of NASA's Phoenix lander, a billion-dollar shovel that landed on Mars in 2008.

Those are the pertinent mythological points.  Now for the next-level weirdness.

On 26 November 2018, NASA's InSight, a billion-dollar drill, landed on Mars at Elysium Planitia, or Elysian Fields.  Interestingly, the Elysian Fields were the ancient Greek vision of Heaven, where good and heroic souls were rewarded with fair skies and boundless harvests.

On 1 December 2018, George H. W. Bush (41st president) dies at the age of 94.  Bush was the son of a Nazi collaborator, Prescott Bush, and initiated the First Iraq War on his former business partner, Saddam Hussein, though he never finished the war.  His son, Geoge W. Bush (43rd president) finished the job with the Second Iraq War, in which Hussein was finally put to death, thus vanquishing his father's enemy - though the war drags on for decades even as we speak.

A sealed box (tree trunk) ostensibly containing the remains of G. H. W. Bush was placed in the center of the US capitol for three days (!) before a taxpayer-funded orgy of political wailing and gnashing of teeth took place on 5 December 2018.

GHW Bush is only one of 31 individuals to be so honored in the history of the US, despite having a seemingly undistinguished career as an carpetbagging oil man who ran the world's most infamous spy agency for two years, then became a nearly invisible Vice President, then a caretaker President whose biggest achievement was starting a war.  An awful lot of hoopla for someone who did so little - apparently - for the world.

Three days later, on 3 December 2018, NASA's OSIRIS-REx craft (literally "King Osiris") arrived at asteroid 101955 Bennu - I shit you not.  The asteroid is almost perfectly cube-shaped and it stretches credulity that this object is natural.  The craft is currently preparing to perform several touch-and-go maneuvers to sample the object's surface and return the material to Earth.

Curiously, the OSIRIS-REx will wait until 4 July 2020, to begin sampling the surface of Bennu.  Note the date and year.

G. H. W. Bush has been long suspected of being a CIA asset, and possibly even involved in the JFK Assassination, which was itself a highly ritualistic murder of a god-king.  Bush also served as head of the CIA before becoming Vice President under Ronald Reagan in 1980.

Speaking of Ronald Reagan, the 40th president was shot on 30 March 1981, by John W. Hinkley, Jr., in an attempted assassination attempt.  Hinkley Sr. was president of the Vanderbilt Energy Corporation and the Hinkleys were an oil family who were close associates of the Bush family, and top contributors to GHW Bush's campaign in 1980.  Hinkley's brother Scott was set to have dinner with Neil Bush in Colorado the night of the shooting.  Neil was a central figure in the Silverado Savings & Loan scandal.

O what tangled web we weave, when first we practice to deceive.

The CIA was formed out of the original spy organization called OSS.  It incorporated significant elements of the Nazi spy network after World War 2 - a symbolic rising from the ashes, one might say - specifically the Gladio network formed under the infamous Gen. Reinhard Gehlen.

The Nazis were well-known for their dabblings in the occult and mystic symbolism.  Notably, captured Nazis were folded into the CIA and...wait for it...NASA, under Project Paperclip and similar operations.

Bush served one term as president from 1988-1992, when (guess who) the Clintons took over.  He was largely seen as a caretaker president continuing the Reagan Revolution policies, and the most significant moment of his presidency was the First Iraq War, in which he went after his former oil partner Saddam Hussein, who was threatening the Petro Dollar system by accepting currencies other than the dollar for Iraqi oil.

Bush's son, G. W. (aka Shrub) was elected in 2000, in a highly contentious campaign with (guess who) Al Gore (aka Mr. Global Warming).  During Bush the Second's reign, there was a major terror attack on 11 September 2001 (note the date), which precipitated the Second Iraq War in which Bush II vanquished his father's enemy.

Interestingly, 101955 Bennu was discovered on 11 September 1999 (note the date).

Now, if one were conspiracy minded, which I certainly am not, one could squint at all this in just the right lighting and see the following:

GHW Bush is the symbolic incarnation of Osiris, who was brought down by his enemy Saddam Hussein.  His son, GW Bush (Shrub) took up the mantle and finally overcame his father's mortal enemy.  Bush I approved funding for the International Space Station (ISiS), which began construction during the presidency of Bush II.

GHW Bush died just THREE days before OSIRIS-REx, NASA's asteroid mission, arrived at 101955 Bennu, thus symbolizing an offering to the god of Resurrection.  The probe will touch the 'god' on 4 July 2020, likely in close proximity to the Republican National Convention, thus ritualistically awakening the 'god' to resurrect the Bush Dynasty just in time for the 2020 presidential election.

GHW Bush is also being kept in the capitol rotunda, under the painting of George Washington achieving godhood, for THREE days.  A rare honor.

And did we mention the odd, unnatural shape of 101955 Bennu, which is almost a perfect cube?

At the same time, just days before GHW 'died', NASA's InSight mission landed in Elysian Fields on Mars - in other words, in Heaven on the symbolic manifestation of Horus.

Oh, and all of this happened at the precise moment when certain key individuals were supposed to testify regarding the Clinton Foundation and Uranium 1 scandals, and the treasonous use of national security apparati to spy on candidate Donald Trump during the 2016 election.

And two key federal agencies at the center of all this - CIA and NASA - were both formed from the ashes of the Third Reich, which was really into all this occult symbolism stuff.

Have no fear, though, all of this is just an incredible series of coincidences that have absolutely nothing to do with reality, because we are an advanced civilization now, that doesn't believe in such ritualistic nonsense.

Right?
========================================================================
Post Scriptum:

On 11 December 2018, just days after OSIRIS-REx entered orbit around 101955 Bennu, it was announced that the "fingerprint" of hydrated clays were found across the surface of the asteroid.  This suggests the presence of water, though the headlines make it sound as if there are literal puddles lying around.

This is significant for a number of reasons - not just the symbolic ones noted above.

First, we have been told for decades that ices present on the surface of comets is what causes the coma and tail(s) as they heat up in the sunlight and out-gas.  Bennu is located well within the range where comets should begin outgassing, yet Bennu is obviously NOT doing this.  Furthermore, almost zero water has been found on the surface of comets visited by spacecraft, yet this "asteroid" is literally awash, if we are to believe the howlings of the "science" media.

Second, the shape of Bennu combined with the presence of water makes for an interesting combination.  Bennu is almost a perfect cube, which is virtually impossible in a natural object, unless it is a massive sugar crystal.  The implication is that Bennu is artificial and if its internal atmosphere had leaked out over centuries/millennia, then it would account for the presence of moisture on the surface, as water vapor condensed after escaping the interior.

Third, we are told that Bennu is interesting for its very high carbon signature.  This brings up the Cosmic War speculation so eloquently outlined by Joseph P. Farrell and others.  If the asteroids are indeed remnants of an exploded planet (Planet V or Tiamat according to different theories), then being covered in carbon would be a signature of this explosion.

It gets much stranger, and this will likely become a mini-series of articles in the future, so stay tuned!

Who Or What Is NASA Resurrecting?

NASA's strangely named probe OSIRIS-REx just rounded Earth on its way to asteroid Bennu.  It passed about 11,000 miles/20,000 kilometers above Antarctica on a sample-return mission to Bennu that should wrap up sometime in 2023, with a packet of gravel being hurled at Earth.

Now, I like Richard Hoagland, despite the fact he is little more than a P. T. Barnum type with some smart people behind him doing all the work. One of his "wild-eyed theories" is that NASA is deliberately performing magic rituals based on Egyptian/Masonic mythology, and in the extant case it is hard to argue against it.

The asteroid 101955 Bennu is named after a minor Egyptian deity called Bennu, which took the form of a heron bird.  Bennu was a symbol of Egyptian Sun and resurrection cults, and was frequently a part of ancient Creation myths.  Bennu is also likely the prototype for the more familiar phoenix, which is periodically consumed by fire (Sun) and resurrected from the ashes of its previous incarnation.

It gets better.

Osiris was the Egyptian father of the gods,  He was the origin of the Greek god Chronos, who is represented by the planet Saturn, and was considered the First Sun of our Solar System, later deposed by Zeus, and then our current Sun.  Osiris is represented in the sky by the asterism of Orion, whose belt is mirrored by the three great pyramids at Giza.

Osiris was married to Isis, whose name appears quite frequently in the news these days, either as a reference to a bunch of CIA assets posing as Islamic terrorists, or as the International Space Station (ISS).  Isis is the precursor of the Virgin Mary in Christian doxology.  Isis was not only the wife, but sister of Osiris, as well.

Their brother Set or Seth was a rather power-hungry sort.  He is likely the model for Zeus, and he killed his brother Osiris in a terrible battle.  Set defeated Osiris and hacked his body into 14 pieces and scattered them across the Earth, thus making himself the king of the gods.

Isis set out on a mission to collect the pieces of her husband/brother Osiris, and placed them inside a hollow log, except for the penis.  She bound the log together and tossed it in the Nile River, where it remained for three days before Osiris was reborn (passion, death and resurrection of Christ).  It should be noted here that Isis placed a number of herons, or symbols of Bennu, inside the log with Osiris' body to ensure resurrection.

After rebirth, Osiris became god of the dead and ruler of the Afterlife, while Isis took his dismembered member and impregnated herself with their son Horus.  Note the virgin birth echo here.  This is not a spurious connection, as quite a bit of Christian iconography depicts Mary nursing Jesus in identical poses to Isis and Horus.

Horus was symbolized by Mars, as an angry, scared and red individual, who took it upon himself to get revenge on Set for what he did to Osiris.  Horus was deeply wounded in the battle, and lost his right eye, which many will recognize atop the Masonic unfinished pyramid.  He also received a deep scar on his face, much like Valles Marinaris on Mars, though no one has ever explained how the Egyptians would have known about such a feature.

Despite this necessarily abbreviated version of the story, the symbolism it contains is rather curious.  NASA not only chose 101955 Bennu of the thousands available as the target of its asteroid sample-return mission, but the mission would be called OSIRIS-REx, which of course means King Osiris. 

NASA also chose to swing the craft directly over Antarctica during a gravity-assist maneover, a continent that has been the focus of quite a bit of attention over the past few years due to rumors of strange discoveries there related to ancient civilizations.  We cannot forget that just last year, NASA star Buzz Aldrin, ostensibly the second man to walk on the Moon, went there and had to be air-lifted out due to a mysterious illness.

Hoagland has made a rather compelling case for the use of symbolism and ritual by NASA in its history of spaceflight.  We then have a craft named after Egyptian god Osiris with the title of "king" no less.  Osiris carries with it connections to death, resurrection and the Sun (before his death).  His son is connected with Mars and the Masonic eye.  Its mission is to an asteroid named after Bennu, Eguptian demi-god of resurrection, creation and the Sun, with a connection to the mythical phoenix and symbols of which were placed in the coffin of Osiris to ensure resurrection.

With all the interlocking symbolism of death, resurrection, the Sun, and ties to Egyptian, Masonic and Christian symbology, plus the curious ritualistic "death" and "resurrection" of Buzz Aldrin, a NASA star, in Antarctica, and the "coincidental" fly-over of Antarctica by Osiris-REx on the way to Bennu, would has to wonder what in the hell is going on over at JPL?

What or who is NASA trying to resurrect?  What is in Antarctica?  Why all the strange, interlocking symbolism?  And why is the mission being kept so quiet, given NASA's proclivity for announcing even the slightest achievements to justify its bloated expenditures of taxpayer money?

It all makes for some interesting musings, when one isn't overwhelmed with trying to survive in this world gone mad.

Some thoughts for a Saturday morning...

Osiris Reborn

CORRECTION: In my rush to jot down my thoughts, I made some glaring errors that don't necessarily affect the symbolism, but should be corrected for accuracy.

Osiris was murdered (and hacked into 14 pieces) by the god Set.  Isis collected the pieces and placed all but one, the penis, in a hollow tree trunk, which she bound and threw in the Nile.  Osiris was resurrected after three days inside the tree.

Isis impregnated herself with Osiris' disembodied member and produced Horus, who ultimately vanquished Set, receiving the facial scar (Valles Marinaris) and losing his eye.  Just so we're straight on all this...

As I write this, it is the 15th anniversary of the 9/11 attack in New York City and Washington, D.C., and like the JFK assassination, we are no closer to the truth than we were when Building 7 collapsed that day.

Some time ago, Richard Hoagland and Mike Bara published a book called Dark Mission: The Secret History of NASA (reviewed elsewhere on this site), in which the authors argue that NASA uses occult rituals and symbols in the timing and naming of missions.  One of the recurring names is Osiris, otherwise known as Orion.

You're likely wondering at this point how a nutter in the jungles of Borneo is going to tie these two things together.  Bear with me for a moment.

On 11 September 1999, a near-Earth asteroid, or NEO, was discovered.  It is about 500 meters on its long axis, and every six years its orbit brings it perilously close to Earth.  The asteroid was eventually named Bennu.

In ancient Egyptian religion, the Bennu was a mythical bird that was intricately tied to the Sun and resurrection/rebirth, and Creation itself.  Some researchers speculate that the Bennu was the precursor of the Greek phoenix, the mythical bird that was occasionally consumed by fire and then reborn from its ashes.

Also in ancient Egyptian religion, Osiris was the king of the gods, married to Isis, and father of Horus.  Horus eventually rose up and killed his father in a tremendous battle that left Horus with one eye (the eye of Horus) and his father hacked into 14 pieces - a story likely the precursor for the Greek version of Cronus and Zeus.  Thus, Osiris became the ruler of the underworld, the place of the dead, much like the Greek Hades or Roman Pluto.

The most powerful symbol for Horus was the horizon and the rising Sun.  We should also note that the Eye of Horus is likely the origin of the Masonic All-Seeing Eye, and is related to the Sanskrit name for the Sun - matahari - which literally means "eye of the day."

Still with me?  Hang in there.

With all the relevant names, symbols and dates noted, let's start tying them together:

On 8 September 2016, NASA launched a probe called OSIRIS-REx (or Osiris King) to gather data and samples from the NEO asteroid 101955 Bennu.  The launch took place at night while the Sun was below the horizon.  The probe will return to Earth with its samples on 24 September 2023.

The asteroid Bennu was discovered on 11 September 1999, the same year a movie called The Matrix was released, which featured a character called NEO, who is ultimately resurrected/reborn to save the Earth and whose passport has been noted to have an expiration date on 11 September 2001.  Bennu is believed to hold clues to the origin/creation of life on Earth and is thought to be a remnant of the birth of the Solar System.

There are currently three planets being orbited by NASA probes: Mars, Jupiter and Saturn. Jupiter and Saturn are named after gods (Cronus and Zeus) whose rivalry is thought to be a version of the Osiris/Horus tale.  Mars is a symbol of Horus (a.k.a. Horus the Red), being scared and bloodied in battle with Osiris.  Last year, the NASA probe New Horizons flew past Pluto.  Pluto is the Roman god of the underworld, similar to Osiris, and the craft's name could be interpreted as the "new Horus (of the Horizon)."

Now this could all be just the wild imaginings of a veteran conspiracy theorist, and it is all most likely a unique set of multiple coincidences.  But given the rather strong and well-researched arguments put forth in the Hoagland/Bara book and the great number of times, dates, names and symbols that conjoin in this tale, and given the deep roots of NASA in the occult (Nazis/von Braun, wizards/Jack Parsons), it is worth pondering.

It seems that some kind of rebirth/resurrection ritual is being played out in the heavens, and as the Hermetic mantra goes, "As above, so below."  A couple of odd 'coincidences' are easy to pass off, but when they pile up like autumn leaves, it begs speculation that someone is communicating a message - to whom and to what end, of course, are a matter of interpretation, at least insofar as us outsiders are concerned.

The next step is to formulate a theory and extract predictions about future events and behaviors to see if this analysis is anywhere near correct.  Perhaps as I reflect on these things a pattern will emerge for future publication.  In the meantime, the reader is encouraged to let his/her mind run free.

Are we about to see the birth of a new god, or the resurrection of an ancient one?
