The Big One : Trevor's Sucker Punch

The movie Sucker Punch has often been compared to The Matrix, yet in SP, The Matrix's Agents/Archons have been replaced by two only slightly different enemies: Steampunk WWI soldiers brought back from the dead, representing transhumanism, while another enemy Babydoll and the others must face are rebellious cyborgs. First off, it's pretty obvious that the cyborgs are easily attributed to the machine overlords in the Matrix trilogy, but then you have the WWI soldiers representing transhumanism. The machines in The Matrix are essentially one of the fears about transhumanism: humans being replaced by machines.



This fear can also be seen in the form of other Archonic/transhuman enemies: The Borg from Star Trek, HAL 9000 from 2001, T-1000 from The Terminator, the Daleks from Doctor Who, and possibly many others.

But it just isn't limited to mechanical entities. We can also see a menacing side of transhumanism in the form of parasitic aliens: Necromophs from Dead Space (which ties in nicely to the Resident Evil franchise), The Thing, xenomorphs from the Alien franchise and the artwork of H.R. Giger, and again, possibly many others. Now consider this: The Agents are to the Archons what the Borg, T-1000, etc. are to mechanical tranhumanism, but what is it for the parasitic aliens? Look no further than the Strangers from Dark City, also resemble the Borg, along with the Cenobites from the Hellraiser franchise. To make matters more interesting, The Strangers, Agents, and Observers from Fringe seem to share a common ancestor: The Men in Black.

These transhuman monsters have another Black Oil-esque relative: The Shoggoths from H.P. Lovecraft's At the Mountains of Madness. When you put these together, the message seems to be that transhumanism gone awry is a way of "assimilating" with the Archons.But how does SP fit into this mess? Here's how: Sucker Punch and possibly The Matrix were both influenced by video games. There have been theories circulating that our modern technology may be recovered "alien" technology. So what would that make virtual reality and games? An interesting connection is how Timothy Leary, a proponent of psychedelics, would later become a proponent of virtual reality. Then of course, you have Steve Jobs, the main link between the psychedelic experience and the VR experience. In things like the Mithraic mysteries up to shamanic rituals, you have psychedelics being used to contact the "gods"...or flying discs!


Now I feel I should mention two other franchises: Transformers and Battlestar Galactica/Caprica. In both these franchises we see Archonic machines (Decepticons and Cylons), but they are merely predecessors for the transhuman machines. Both these franchises contain ancient astronaut elements. Plus, in Caprica, a bit of the action takes place in the VR world of New Caprica, while in Transformers 2, Sam undergoes his own psychedelic experience from a piece of the All-Spark cube. Ancient astronauts being replaced by engineered Archons can also be seen in Mountains of Madness. So the overriding message is that evidence of the Star Gods/Ancient Astronauts being discovered by corporate-minded/religious fanatics/materialists/corrupt governments leads to transhumanism gone awry, all in some weird time loop scenario. But video games and and "aliens" can't be that bad, you're probably asking. Well, keep reading dear reader, because you're about to travel deeper down the rabbit hole.

In order to understand this, we must now head into the superhero and fantasy genres for a bit. Another influence Sucker Punch and The Matrix share is Alice in Wonderland. Alice in Wonderland is basically about a human traveling into some fantasy realm, much like Lovecraft's Dreamquest of Unknown Kadath. The hero, Randolph Carter, fights against the Nightgaunts in Dream Quest. At the X-Files Lexicon blog, it is stated that Lovecraft may have had and abduction experience in his childhood, his abductors being referred to as the Nightgaunts. The Nightgaunts fall into the same archetypal category as the Dementors from Harry Potter, Ringwraiths from Lord of the Rings, and the Smoke Monster from Lost. These latter three entities seem to carry the same traits and behaviors as the infamous Shadow People. Just to bring it full circle, some speculate that the Shadow People may be tied into the Ufo phenomena. "But how can aliens, beings from other planets, also be ghost-like entities?" may be a popular question. Pehaps they aren't physical. Which brings us to the Elusive Companion/Ultraterrestrial/Cryptoterrestrial hypothesis, the idea that the entities we are seeing, and might have seen for centuries, may in fact be interdimensional or a companion race, rather than flying back and forth from other planets (As proposed by John Keel, Whitley Streiber, Mac Tonnies, Charles Fort, Christopher Knowles, etc.).


So how do Elusive Companions, fantasy, superheroes, and video games intertwine? When you take the plots and recurrent themes of Sucker Punch, Harry Potter, Hanna, Kick-Ass, Pan's Labyrinth, Let Me In, and The Hunger Games, the main theme seems to be that the characters are dropped into a world trying to militarize or emotionally/mentally scar them so they use an alternate magical reality as a means of literal escape, often with the help of Elusive Companions.

The ECs make an appearance in the Lord of the Rings as well, in the forms of the Elves. Now here's where superheroes are tied in. Jack Kirby's The Eternals is about a conflict taking place between two groups: The Eternals, humanoids who were worshipped as gods in ancient times, protect mankind from the Deviants, groteusque creatures who live underground and build machines as part of their plot to ovethrow humanity.


This battle takes place until the return of the Celestials (Star Gods). If one were to compare LOTR and the Eternals, it's pretty clear that the Eternals=the Elves and Gandalf while the Deviants=the Orcs/Uruk-hai. On Christopher Knowles' Secret Sun blog, he states that the Eternals were Kirby's representation of the Nordic "aliens" while Deviants were Grays/Reptilians. It's been speculated that when the ancient astronauts left, they left behind a Watcher race to monitor mankind's progress until their return. Perhaps this Watcher race split into the Archons and the Elusive Companions. Which brings us to the next part of our journey.

According to Knowles, people like Jack Kirby, Gene Roddenberry, Philip K. Dick, Robert Anton Wilson, and many others seemed to be "picking up signals" of some sort, whether it be PKD's Valis experience or Uri Geller. The string of incidents that connect these people are attributed to three things: Electronic "voices" (the cybernetic replacements), Sirians (Elusive Companions), and a group called the Nine (ancient astronauts). The Sirians are believed to be the same entities as the Nommo, fish-like beings described by the Dogon tribe as coming from the Sirius star system. The Nommo themselves are similar to Lovecraft's Outer Gods.

In Alan Moore's Neonomicon, one character describes how the Outer Gods are us in the future while PKD says the same thing about the Sirians. The time loop again. Perhaps it is the Nine who plant the memes described in this article as a means to help us evolve and break free of the cosmic prison. In a synchromystic examination by Mike Clelland regarding ECH, he talks about a series of connections between 2001, Planet of the Apes, The Outer Limits, Jack Kirby, and the Tucson shootings. In regards to Mike's ECH post, there are two things that I wanted to point out. Connecting to 2001, we have David Bowie (close to Dave Bowman) making the song "Space Oddity". He also played an alien in The Man Who Fell to Earth and, surprise surprise, played a vampire/Nephilim(?) in The Hunger. Just to add on to that, The Hunger was written by Whitley Streiber, a contactee himself. Also, The Man Who Fell to Earth seems to bear a parallel narrative to Stranger in A Strange Land, written by Robert A. Heinlein. Heinlein can act as a mediator between PKD and Jack Parsons.


This brings in the Babylon Working and of course, you gotta throw Crowley in at some point, which connects to Lam and Crowley's contact with Aiwass. Also, Stranger seemed to be a tribute to two people: Parsons and "Nine contactee" PJF. Connecting to Planet of the Apes, we have Rise of the Planet of the Apes featuring four syncnifigant actors. First James Franco, who starred in the Spider-Man films, where in the last movie he saved the Grey-eyed Spider-Man from, what else, the Black Oil. Then we have Tom Felton, who starred in the HP franchise which I already brought up. Then, we have Andy Serkis playing the ape Caesar, Serkis starring in LOTR (mentioned) and King Kong. I view both movies of having "9/11 Mega Ritual" symbolism.

Then of course, we move to the lovely Freida Pinto. Freida starred in two movies last year: This movie tied in to an AAT-themed franchise and Immortals, a movie dealing with the Greek gods. As a SP bonus, after Emma Stone dropped out, Freida was set to play Amber before the role went to Jamie Chung.

But that doesn't mean the Archons don't have a say in this.On the Secret Sun, Knowles describes how in Kirby's OMAC and Kamandi, Kirby seemed to have predicted not just the Gulf War and the arrest of Saddam Hussein, but the wars as a means to search for Annunaki stargates in the Middle East, not to mention the destroying of evidence, hence the looting of museums (remember the recent events in Egypt?). This idea has been taken up by conspiracy researchers. Remember what I said about evidence of the Star Gods and transhumanism gone awry? Another series of connections that seem to relate to this pertain to Alan Moore's League of Extraordinary Gentlemen. In the story "Allan and the Sundred Veil", it turns out that Randolph Carter is related to John Carter, who traveled to Barsoom via astral projection. It should be noted that the John Carter stories are influenced by Theosophy, which seems to bridge Eastern mysticism and contact experiences (same as the Nine). The Carters join forces with Allan Quatermain and the Time Traveler and encounter subterranean Morlocks and the mi-go, which may be compared to the crab-clawed Sirians. In the same volume, the League must stop Sherlock Holmes' nemesis, Moriarty, from destroying London with a new weapon. Sherlock Holmes: A Game of Shadows seems to have taken this concept and altered it so that it seems that Moriarty is paving the way for WWI.

One last thing I want to touch on is how the Nine are combating this. Judging by the fact that these memes pop up in sci-fi, fantasy, comic books etc. and the transmission events take place around 1974, it seems that the Nine are using the counterculture, whether geeks are aware or not. Knowles describes geeks as a product of 60s/70s counterculture, the era in which things such as Star Trek, Marvel comics, and 2001 were popular, along with a rejuvenated interest in H.P. Lovecraft, Robert E. Howard, and Lord of the Rings (which references the "Nine kings"). It also doesn't surprise me that occultism and aliens were popular int his period of time, given the fact that superheroes and science fiction are rooted in the paranormal and occult, as described in Knowles' Our Gods Wear Spandex and Jeff Kripal's Mutants and Mystics.

In OGWS, Knowles mentions how the pulps are the link between comics and Victorian occultism. Essentially, these books argue about the interaction between the world of stories and the paranormal as having a hand in our evolution. We can become the heroes!

Part 2 The Source: The Nine

In Egyptology and Star Wars:


" He ( Osiris ) assembled a host or company of nine gods, called the TETI, Djedi or Jedi or " the stable ones", with which he set fourth to conquer the Earth, not with weapons, but with music and poetry. His " power bread " fed his followers. " - William Henry[1] -Use the Force

ViolatoR explains "The Nine principles of god are the Egyptian Grand Ennead of Heliopolis. Nine also represents the 7 heavens and 2 earthly realms, or "two lands" of Egypt. The neteru (~gods) came from the pre-creation state of the universe, the watery chaos of Nun. Nun (male) and Naunet (female) are basically one in the same, and father and mother of Ra, most commonly depicted as a solar deity; tho Ra had around 75 different aspects. All neteru that took part in creation are aspects of Ra. And Horus is "...the offspring of the nine-times-unity of neteru." (- Leiden Paypyrus, stanza 50.)"


The Nine Muses:

"The Nine Muses, Or, Poems Written by Nine several Ladies Upon the death of the late Famous John Dryden, Esq. (London: Richard Basset, 1700) was an elegiac volume of poetry published pseudonymously. The contributors were English women writers, each of whom signed their poems with the names of Muses. The collection was edited by Delarivier Manley (who wrote as "Melpomene" and "Thalia") and includes pieces by Susanna Centlivre ("perhaps," according to Blain et al.), Sarah Fyge Egerton ("Erato", "Euterpe", and "Terpsichore"), Mary Pix ("Clio"), Catherine Trotter ("Calliope"), and Sarah Piers ("Urania"). The poet writing as "Polimnia" (Of Rhetorick) has not been identified; her initials are "Mrs. D. E."-wikipedia

Worldly Comparison: 9 ( the number )

"Nine is strongly associated with the Chinese dragon, a symbol of magic and power. There are nine forms of the dragon, it is described in terms of nine attributes, and it has nine children It has 117 scales - 81 yang (masculine, heavenly) and 36 yin(feminine, earthly). All three numbers are multiples of 9 (9x13=117, 9x9=81, 9x4=36) ]as well adding up individually to 9 (1+1+7=9, 8+1=9, 3+6=9). / The number 9 is revered in Hinduism and considered a complete, perfected and divine number because it represents the end of a cycle in the decimal system, which originated from the Indian subcontinent as early as 3000BC. / Important Buddhist rituals usually involve nine monks ( as ) Nine justices sit on the United States Supreme Court. / Nine is a significant number in Norse Mythology. Odin hung himself on an ash tree for nine days to learn the runes.


"The Nine Worthies are nine historical, or semi-legendary figures who, in the Middle Ages,( who ) were believed to personify the ideals of chivalry / In Middle-earth, there are nine rings of power given to men, and consequently, nine ringwraiths."

K-9 is another term for dog. K-9 may equal Dog-God, Dogstar, the Sirius influence.
If we look at the character with relation to the Nine, Deep Space Nine, and Seven of Nine; we see that the Tarot card of the star, ,has an eight pointed star, which we link with Sirius. Then, seven other stars. What we rarely seem to hear about is the possibility of the woman being a star. ( "Every man and woman is a star" - Crowley ) If we view the woman as a star. She represents a 7 pouring the 9's ( Sirius ) influence into the world. 7 of 9 may represent the kind of electromagnetic Outer Limits god influence that is seen in the positive aspects of trans-humanism in gnostic cosmonaut history. Thanks to Chris Knowles for bringing the card and episode to my attention.




That knowing stare, that parental flare of affirmation is all Roddenberry needs to journey back into the place in his gut that drove the show. All he needs to stare down the demons that would pervert his vision in the name of sales. This is Jack Kirby having been worn out by the agents of the Archons; silencing, what for him, was natural vision, the very breath of his drawing style, engaging a new kind of vigilantism a new kind of ever so constructive anger, this is Thor leaping from the pages of his work to battle Nazis who would pervert his father's name, and snuff out his illuminating thunder flame. These men left us with legions of gods, Odysseus would shudder after being put through the alchemical spiritual test of Kirby's characters, and he would weep endlessly in the air of one Vulcan mind link.

the book
"is a 1923 novel by Talbot Mundy.Originally serialised in Adventure magazine, [1] it concerns the "Nine Unknown Men", a fictional secret society founded by the Mauryan Emperor Asoka around 270 BC[citation needed] to preserve and develop knowledge that would be dangerous to humanity if it fell into the wrong hands. The nine unknown men were entrusted with guarding nine books of secret knowledge. In the novel the nine men are embodiment of good and face up against nine Kali worshippers, who sow confusion and masquerade as the true sages.

The nine books entrusted to the Nine Unknown contain information on

1. Propaganda and Psychological warfare,
2. Physiology, including secrets concerning the "touch of death",
3. Microbiology,

The Big One Part 3

The Nine


" In the original pitch that Gene Roddenberry had sent to NBC, there was a lot about disembodied alien intelligences that were using people as human channeling " - -Christopher Knowles

"In early 1975, a broke and depressed Roddenberry was approached by a British former race car driver named Sir John Whitmore, who was associated with a strange organization called ‘Lab-9.’ Though unknown to the public, Lab-9 were ostensibly a sort of an independent version of the X-Files, dedicated to the research of paranormal phenomena. However, Lab-9 had another, more complex agenda- they later claimed to be in contact with a group of extraterrestrials called the ‘Council of Nine’ or simply ‘The Nine’, who had been communicating through ‘channelers’ or psychic mediums."

( There are )"...nine major characters introduced in the first episode of ST:TNG, a “Council of Nine” if you will. And exactly like the fabled Council of Nine, the cast of ST:TNG all have corresponding deities in the Egyptian pantheon ."

-Christopher Knowles from his blog the Secret Sun


Ultra-controversial alternative history book The Stargate Conspiracy,by Lynn Picknett and Clive Prince details Gene Roddenberry's supposed contact with Lab 9...Not many people know the Star Trek occult connection, and apparently fewer can verbalize it in a sensical manner. In Lynn Picknett and Clive Prince's book, they detail some of Rodenberry's spiritualist leanings.

"One famous name very much part of the Lab Nine scene in the mid-1970s was Gene Rodenberry...His involvement began in 1974, several years after the original Star Trek TV series finished, but around the time he was developing ideas for the first of the series of movies. It is said that that some of the concepts in these...came from the Nine, and they influenced some of the characters, concepts and storylines...

"Gene Rodenberry " To whom am I talking? Do you have a name ?
disincarnate voice " As you know I am a spokesperson for the Nine. But I also have another position, which I have with you in the project..."


The following is the work of Douglas Stingley, whom I am honored to quote here.
Special Thanks Douglas, for your work.

Part 1
"I allowed Gene Roddenberry to be placed on the "hot seat" twice on To Tell The Truth. Time for The Nine "To Tell The Truth". Who are they? The surface media treatment of The Nine say they are "spiritual entities who speak through channeling". For me it's way too pat of an answer. Because every grouping, except one, who became involved with them, went down no...t a spritual or religious or some sort of contrived New Age philosophy, but became "one" in some way with extraterrestrials. But where is the proof in the world of Roddenberry for the technological means to communicate through something that looked/sounded like Channeling, but was other? Let's put these thoughts on hold, and look at the other bookend of TV SciFi creation who fits into this picture, Leslie Stevens of the Outer Limits. But where did Stevens get his "insider" knowledge from? His father was a Navy Admiral, BUT no ordinary Admiral. Admiral Leslie C. Stevens served from 1947 to 1950 as US Navy Attache' at the US Embassy in Stalinist Moscow, USSR. He then becomes a major National Security Advisor for General Dwight Eisenhower's Presidency. Stevens then participates in 2 major projects for President Eisenhower. The first is "Project Solarium", a study that created nothing short of the policy for the Nuclear Defense Of Europe, and the conditions that will take place, in effect "the rules". He serves on a body of that study called, "Panal That Drafted The Terms Of Reference For Each Task Force", literally the whole vocabulary for this defense policy! Who would we know that shared the 5-seats on this committee? Well we have future Secretary of State Dean Rusk, and the Chair, General Jimmy Doolittle, 30 Seconds Over Tokyo Doolittle! Here's a link to that Study: http://www.rose-hulman.edu/~pickett/Solarium.pdf
...Now I'm going to cheat a bit! I'm giving you 2 links relevent to Admiral Stevens here, but this site only allows 1 per posting. There was also a 2nd Presidential Assignment given Admiral Stevens. He was appointed by President Harry S. Truma...n as the US Navy Representative on the Governing Committee for the predicessor of NASA, called NACA. This was at the same time he served as Navy Attache' in Moscow, USSR. Here's that link: http://history.nasa.gov/SP-4103/app-b.htm

Part 2
"...of the Stevens Saga, the early history of the Outer Limits Creator. Leslie Stevens took a very interesting path in his military service. Instead of joining the Navy for a spot all set for him by his father at the US Naval Academy, he joined the US Army Air Corp's Radio Branch and rose to the rank of Captain. In my research of around 6 weeks on this I've recieved many hints and tip...s that USAAC Captain Stevens was involved with a very esoteric form of radio broadcast technology, this is in the world of Very Low Frequency Radio, ie. VLF. This all focused around early day radio research of an Electronic Engineer by the name of Karl Jansky of the Bell Labs. He found that radio interfearance or the "Sounds Of The Universe" or as radio hobbiests today would call "spherics" were heard best on VLF Frequencies. This led ultimately to the US Navy Submarine communications grids in Michigan and near Bellingham, Washington. High wattage leads VLF signals to literally use the Earth itself as a radio wave duct. The whole earth becomes porous to radio waves. Then the Air Force, a little higher in the bands, around 175KHz created GWEN, the Ground Wave Emergency Network, with towers exactly 299' tall around the country sending command codes to bombers around the globe with radio waves being ducted by Earth's magnetic grid. BUT there's another thing that's very Star Trek and Outer Limits oriented that VLF waves can do for you! If you can get enough transmitter wattage, you can have every piece of conductive metal act as a reciever/amplifier/speaker! All you have to do is point these radio waves from a specific location!! Is this the Secret of The Nine's so-called Channelers, such as Dr. Vinod?"

Listening to Electricity, the Outer Limits and Electric contact article from the Library ( http://thelibrary.hauntedink.com/ )

Note from Douglas :
( I've been thinking on the same lines for a while, CARS, we have the so-called Puharich Circle. First in this Circle, the founder was a British Race Driver by the name of Sir James Whitmore. Second we have Gene Roddenberry "pushing alu...minum" as a Commercial Airline Pilot. Third we have a UFO Cult called the Raelians founded by a French Race Car Driver named Claude Vorhlon. What I'm seeing is plenty of electrically conductive metal around! )

"...Let's set up a scenario very familiar to those who have watched Star Trek, and The Outer Limits, OK? An inner clique knowledgable of the REAL SOURCE of The Nine's messages, and the time they are sent, gathers around a group of followers to recieve so-called channeled messages from some source calling themselves "The Nine". The faked channeling comes really from conductive metal fixtures in the meeting room. So who are The Nine in this case? Well I've never under any condition believed in spiritual entities, a pantheon of gods,http://thelibrary.hauntedink.com/articles/listening-to-electricity-the-galaxy-being.html ancient Egyptian Dieties, what have you! Read this article, and think this question aloud, "did Stevens encounter The Nine in his Army Air Corp Electronics Lab?"

Part 3
"It's time for the Priest to marry the Circle of Leslie Stevens, and the Circle of Gene Roddenberry! So who's the Priest who conducts the wedding, and is the go-between over the years? The same man who formed an informal circle at lunchtime at Portland, Oregon Star Trek Conventions, Robert Justman! To read his work history, is a history of mostly working for Leslie Stevens, or for Gene Roddenberry, with some minor work in the 1950's. He had only one show of his own, an NBC series called "A Man Called Bronson", the story of a man riding around the modern USA Far West on motorcycle, doing good deeds. D.C. Fontana ran the Writing Staff on the show. Also a shared series with Star Trek Vet Herb Solow called "Man From Atlantis", the short lived scifi series of 1977 that starred future Dallas star Patrick Duffy.

It's like watching a tennis match with Justman, one moment with Stevens, the other moment with Roddenberry. BUT Justman also according to his Wikipedia Listing had a major government/military assigment during the 1993-1994 period as a Guest Scholor, Speaker, and Future Thinker for a Military Space Project based out of Maxwell Air Force Base, Alabama called, "SPACECAST 2020". This was based out of the Air University, and was Commanded by USAF General Merrill McPeak, an Oregon Native I've mentioned in a posting of this kind related to serving as Chair of the Admirals/Generals Committee of support for President Obama's Election.
I've also presented conjecture of mine supported by my years as a UFO Investigator, that General McPeak is one of a group of Earth Military Flag Officers who are really on the UFO Aliens side, not Earthly Governments. My question is with all of these "The Nine" Types moving in and out of Portland in my Native State Of Oregon, is this a headquarters of sorts for The Nine activity in the USA? I've mentioned the Star Trek retirees who came to the Portland area to retire, including Justman. Here's that SPACECAST report: http://csat.au.af.mil/2020/index.htm"

Douglas goes on to explain that Gene may have run into Foo Fighters while flying B-17s in WW2, when he crashed, no cause was announced...

CB: " something like the Lucifer Incident "
" the subspace beings are not so concerned with the actual humans in this structure, but about the activities that are being conducted by these physical humans. Somehow this activity relates to some change, both better and worse, regarding the planet Earth. "

I AM SPOCK

In Leonard Nimoy's biography I AM SPOCK he mentions Rodenberry's ideas that were rejected by Paramount relating to a more spiritual Star Trek script, and the tension over trying to express the multi faceted nature of alien contact. It is known that in 1974 Whitmore..." commisioned Bradbury to write a script about the Nine, which was later passed to the producer of the show Sliders. Rodenberry apparently contacted the Nine in Sep. 1975, and realized he was to be a catalyst for oncoming information from the " space people ".

So our heroes were evolving, like us they were learning to be more human, and at the same time taking on larger, more alien problems. Like us, they were becoming more resilient, they are but symbols, but more than any other medium they insisted we could be stronger. The black 2001 Space Odyssey monolith, speaks volumes in the sight of its actual appearance. Forget conspiracies, here before you stands the star-gate. Contact is certain. Evolution is certain. Survival is not. As we put on our silly human space suits and swallow our silly human drugs, she is there. Does it matter if we lose, this horse, this vessel, this me? Are we going to be assimilated in some Brave New Nightmare, predicted to us with anyone happening to have Wells in their name in literary circles- from the ancient past? Is this the mysterious Borg Cube? A testament to all our " adult " reactions becoming more reactionary and less formative, the Decepticons, the All Spark Cube, or is this the plan of some comic book post Nazi with a Cosmic Cube? Is this the rectangular UFO littered through so many cases, our four sided confining box, viewed in three dimensions becomes the six sided hexagon, a perfect prison for a mind, but screw the personal, this was a cubicle for a world.



Its chaperon's appearing more and more robotic each day, in dark underworlds the strings are pulled by men in cold blue and black, the men from Dark City. But who does their work? After Kubrick's least known picture, Apollo 11, he responds, apparently rather disturbed with Clockwork Orange running around traumatizing and being traumatized. Are the demons that brew in these men, instead the grays and reptilians themselves? Does this mysterious block indicate certain death or torture...? Are the archons inside us, speaking for us, or just calibrating our history to their draconian timeline?



An ancient totem, cuts through time and understanding, a monolith that has no difference in relation to the physical sentient beings who have joined its cult. Stanley Kubrick scared of the bad guys, whoever they are this week, rushes men to the moon, while his black monolith stares back at him, pulls consciousness apart in a thousand directions taking with it - islands of the collective mind. These are the waking primitive disproportionate lunging expressions of the man who would be marvelous god, if only it were not for back room politics, this is Roddenberry shaking as his hopes and dreams stare him in the face through astral mucosal lining and proclaim they are the Nine gods of the Egyptian Heliopolis. Sexual perversions aside this was dialogue with universe. He may have learned the earth is hollow, he may have touched the sky, he may have mourned for his ego divided between ancient deities.

Adepts for centuries have searched the halls of mystery memory, like Egyptian initiates encountering crocodiles, wondering what fate awaits them in the dark, is this the trickery of some hazing fraternity,? No, it is more the unknowing waking of an alien brain, the unaware initiate charting labyrinths as Indiana Jones, or sweaty adolescent fingers controlling his baphomet dreamgirl, if David Childress dreamed in pixels- Lara Croft. I hear a resentful Watcher explain



“They are one and the same “
"Pay no mind to those, who have become frozen in their field, their belief, ego trapped in carbonite. Han Solo attesting for his sins. It is but a generational gap, an old crone complaining of vaginal problems, because ayahuasca has lost its splendor as a dildo. "

Because jets fly faster than brooms across the void; and worse, they convey and contain penises, if not blind Artemis, her arrows and sword replaced by the military industrial stink of defensive capitalism. Backwards feminism has reared its ugly head and the idea of a goddess has been replaced with the chance to dress like men, and think with their dicks...Men have, and as I understand it, not for the first time, and not on purpose- in most men's understanding of reality, actually caused a left brain cancer, the technology that coats the very skin of mother earth confuses soda signs for the real. As Russian intelligence officer Alfred Korzybski bravely posed sometime around 1933, largely before its postmodern circles would develop tech-gnosis over the idea,



“the map is not the territory. "



What better way to encrypt the kind of Alex/Janus end world programming, then to repeatedly battle mindless zombies, some of which bear the insignia of a vandalized Tibetan swastika. Tibet and Germany giving birth to alien rocket science schematics and mastering control of the mind. One - control of one's mind, the latter control of the masses. Here smack dab in the middle of modern video game violence, is Glycon, media dancing again to the rhythm of entertainment that is science fiction, as steady and constant as the war drum of a post World War 2 agenda. One that was never American... The snake continues dropping crumbs of insight, trickling kryptonite dandruff, Glycon writhes into our bottom chakras, we shake and trembling we scream

" give us more ! "

more football, more Saturnbox, more glittering strip shows pretending to sell cigarettes, we demand more of the gore of the Roman coliseum. Give us an amphitheater of war in HD. I don't think we are cut off enough from the real world yet. Alan Moore jokingly suggests he worships Glycon, explaining him like the girl in the red dress, the distraction worth losing the show over. The severe lack of love can be heard, the energy pulled from the room, as Alan Watt explains in more words than most can sit through, how much the stage is thought out, his predictive programming speech braving to make sense of it all. This sadness in his eyes, like John Lennon after tasting the petals of a thousand psychedelic Hindu gods, and floating in a TM place of love and light with Ravi Shankar and Zakir Hussein, before realizing the rest of the species wouldn't actually follow him to this bliss at all. Tim Leary accepting cult status when gurus are made to look like smoke and mirror magicians.




Note #1 : Jack Kirby and Gene Roddenberry were both in World War 2 as well, Gene as a pilot of B-17 bombers, the 17 being a common theme in his work, and Jack was in Patton's Army division.

THE BIG ONE: Part 1

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------





------------------------------------------------------------------------------


"This is the lay line choking language of the city, made light and vascular again. Geomancic stained glass seeping up from the depths of Atlantis, the wholeness in UFO lore and Pangaea. Like long trampled pagan alters, like Native American vision quest, the invisible handrail appears, and like an Epcot ride guides the initiate down, into darkness, into deepness, into glorious mystery, and she contorts her size to welcome our individual torches,

peering into Department 56 Christmas worlds and Babylonian Mega Cosmos, temples that are built through time. Physical objects that stretch through uncountable reels of film, everyone is a star. No one remembers who was holding the camera. Allowing myself to become the steaming search engines voice, I must pause- to give up, in the fetal position, to cry and abandon hope long enough to hear myself, long enough to vent a hundred human tragedies before me and in me, as every magician whose heart is green must accept the blackness, each brave cosmonaut of the past and astral must accept, while gripping a ritual dagger, tranced in disciplined mechanism, that they could end it. They could send the ramblings muses soaring like freed letters of the Torah before a burning yet content and focused rabbi centuries ago, but that was not that man's choice...do we not have one?, Do we have not a hundred holy languages shoving our shoulders as we sleep....? “Wake Up!” We are reminded that we must delve in blackness, on covered gold, in oil, in alien fetal matter to bring back diamonds, to transmute the collective soul. Was William Moulton Marston looking for the truth more with the invention of the polygraph or Wonder Woman?



The feminine is as representative of truth as it is balance. This is Sheba awed by something new, the intellect of Solomon. This is the lunch time recess realization that Kooties may be a disinformation scheme to hide sacred vows and vibrations from adolescent minds, what will be later known as a golden grail, a Lazarus rebirth chamber, a womb containing nutrients of a higher intelligence.Here there is the first sentimental urge of growth, of light at the end of the tunnel. This was Joseph Campbell and Carl Jung making some of the largest discoveries of their careers, perhaps of our collective understanding of ourselves and forces greater than us. Becoming aware all at once that the gods of worldly pantheons were speaking to them, but not isolating them, like so many shamans of cold underworlds before them had, only to crucify the ego. No. Not at all, for once they were showing them a single language, a single ritual, a single rhythm. Our human understanding grows and expands to the ends of the universe, and their scholarly world was shrinking to a comfortable metaphor. No one has been wrong, but with pollution, with those who would stone prophets and burn witches, none have been right. We misinterpreted the whole majestic dance. We all can see through their work, the world a little more like an altar, a little less like a battlefield. Like Jung realizing a similar super world synthesis would remark on this synchronicity, in more than one great work. Together, operating only decades apart, they would erect a more perfect temple than any ever built by physical hands. One whose sacred geometrical design sings every cultures mantra while holding hands and plunging fearlessly into the sweat of ritual precision, and understanding of the perfection of the unconscious. One that had one holy chant “You’re all telling the same story, so take your place in it, invoke any god, for they are all the same.” The undercurrent of this message ringing through to scholars in every field as " stop fighting " and " we are all one "-from the comic


Part 1

The Archons

In Ancient History

Etymology:

" Archon (Gr. ἄρχων, pl. ἄρχοντες) is a Greek word that means "ruler" or "lord", frequently used as the title of a specific public office. It is the masculine present participle of the verb stem ἀρχ-, meaning "to rule", derived from the same root as monarch, hierarchy, and anarchy. "
Archon at wikipedia




"The beings that were invading were called Archons. These Archons had the ability to duplicate reality, to fool us. They were jealous of us because we have an essence of some kind, a soul, that they don’t possess, and the Nag Hammadi texts...describe the Archons. One looks like a reptile and the other looks like an unformed baby or a foetus. It is partially living and partially non-living and has grey skin and dark, unmoving eyes. The Archons are duplicating reality so that when we buy into it, when we come to believe that the duplicated, false state reality is the real reality - then they become the victors...Television is an example of Archonic imitation. Humans are imitated on television but the imitation is altered and is nearly always obscene and profane because the Archons not only do not understand the sacred but they hate it. They are jealous of the natural world and of human beings with the natural world. Also of sexual relationships: loving couples make them angry and they love violence and are sexually titillated by anger and war and death. They create war to consume energy from the dying. " -Jay Weidner

There has been a revival of the idea of the Archons, particularly among Gnostic scholar John Lamb Lash and his findings in closer examination of the Nag Hammadi Text.

Archon is the same term Grant Morrison uses in the Invisibles; for the black oily assimilating evil forces.




In the Media:

Directly by name in the Media:



"The Return of the Archons" is a mind boggling episode of the first season of the original Star Trek series. As episode 21, in the series, it aired on February 9, 1967.



"Kirk sends another party down to investigate. They find the culture on Beta III is quiescent, with no creative tendencies. The entire culture is controlled by a group of 'lawgivers' known as "The Body" which is, in turn, controlled by the omniscient Landru. The inhabitants change from normal, peaceful people to a violent mob at the coming of the Red Hour. This 'Festival' is the society's only outlet for the tyrannical hold that Landru has over them at all other times.



For centuries the computer, 'Landru,' has been interpreting his suggestions to the point that no one is allowed independent thought. Kirk tells the computer that instead of helping to nurture the culture of Beta III, it has harmed it.-StarTrek.com"






Part 1 as the Black Oil

X-Files-contained in literal oil, Doggett and Mulder discuss the plausability of implanting an alien virus in oil.



South Park-


Oil Industry ( BP ) drills straight into another dimension and lets out Lovecraftian alien demons. BP jokes about drilling in the moon.

Spider Man-



Who was Todd Mcfarlane before he put Spidey in the black oil...would he have remained an unknown artist? Although Todd didn't invent the oil, does the image below not strike you, in it's popularity? Were the Archons possessing him? Is this, more directly the chracter Spawn? Is this why Spidey is so wrapped up in the gray alien / WTC mythos?




Wikipedia's definition of symbiote and the origin of the costume itself becomes more confusing.


"A symbiote capable of mind-controlling subjects by touch...In an attempt to create "super-cops" to police their new Utopia, the Life Foundation probed the Venom symbiote and extracted the last five of its "seeds" - the materials used to create SPAWN...The ability to shape-shift, from mimicking clothing up to and including complete change of appearance, regardless to the host's actual stature and bodily dimensions as the symbiotes are living tesseracts...The Venom symbiote also has empathic abilities, and is able to project desires and needs into the thoughts of its host or potential hosts, This ability can also aid Venom in detecting the truth from those he interrogates....Genetic memory, recalling information from previous hosts. "

So why is it in the Spider cartoons that they always feel like speaking freely about ruining the shuttle program?

Part 2 as Machine

In Marvel

Jack Kirby: Jack: OMAC, Machine Man, both looks at cyborg men, technocratic futures and the like. ( Machine Man, seems to have imagined this future while talking to aliens in a mental hospital! )




Star Trek:


Gene: the Borg; just like with the Decepticons from Transformers, and Agent Smith; are examples of assimilation by an alien or robotic race that can shape shift in one way or another. In the latter's case, cases of possession become relevant. Agent Smith and the T-1000 shape shift in very similar ways. As do the X-files aliens ( the " rebels " led by Shao Khan from Mortal Kombat another Dimension ruler... )

Seven of Nine is one of the more popular characters in Deep Space 9. Oddly enough, became a sex symbol for sci fi in general and a soft spot for most modern Star Trek fans.


2001 A Space Odyssey



Hal 9ooo-functions much like the 1-1ooo or Skynet

Transformers

Megatron= Hugo Weaving who is also...

Red Skull who, of course has his own cosmic cube...


Matrix
Agent Smith




Above is the All Spark cube from Transformers. As if assimilation wasn't already a theme with Agent Smith actor, Hugo Weaving, he goes on to play the main villain of mechanical space assimilation again in Transformers, Megatron. Then he returns as Red Skull who taps the power of the " Cosmic Cube " he receives at the base of Yggdrasil in the film Captain America. This " cube of space " with its cubicle/corporate limitations of space are imosed on the mind, becoming evident when one refuses to think outside the box. In three dimensions this becomes the cube, a six sided shape relative to the seemingly Archontic, Saturn worshipping Draconian rule of organized world religions.



"Most Cosmic Cubes are cube-shaped matrices. However, similar objects with different shapes are known as Cosmic Containment Units.Sentient beings wanting to create a Cosmic Cube must generate a force field to open a rift to another dimension inhabited by the Beyonders, allowing the extra-dimensional energy to filter through the rift. When entering the Earth's dimension, the energies can be held in a matrix, and the force itself would shape the matrix into a perfect cube. It would also provide the Cube with its almost-unlimited power. A Cube would eventually develop its own intelligence, commonly influenced by the beings who had manipulated it.Mephisto has postulated that the Cubes are hosts to a semi-sentient will and that, even in Cube form, they can choose how they want to be used, and deny certain wishes. Mephisto also has proposed that a billion-sentient universally-linked will could overcame this problem, and that the Cubes could be as powerful as the Infinity Gems" - Marvel wiki

Aside from an endless host of Ufo lore surrounding rectangular craft, the shape seems to be a well known transformative element in 2001 A Space Odyssey, and the Ancient Alien evolution of consciousness, Archonic or not.

In Animorphs, the series of books written by K. A. Applegate, the alien race the Andalites, who had the ability to absorb a creatures DNA by touching them and concentrating, had a cube that would eventually give such a power to the recurring human characters of the series.-EBZ


The T-1000 in Terminator is also resonant of the shape shifting assimilative powers of the Archons explained in the Gnostic gospels. Oddly enough actor also plays Agent Dogget in X-Files a sure resonator of the Dog Star Sirius
