A great but forgotten film features some of the best pre-911 imagery out there. From Cinema Symbolism 4:
The Medusa Touch by Peter Van Greenaway (1973). The thriller’s first edition book cover features a commercial airliner exploding as it smashes into a skyscraper. The story is about a novelist, John Morlar, who either has psychokinesis or clairvoyance; it was made into a movie in 1978 with Richard Burton (1925-1984) as Morlar and includes the airplane crash depicted on the dust jacket. The surname of the film’s director, Jack Gold (1930-2015), evokes The Yellow Brick Road; the flick was released in the US on April 14th (7 doubled), seven months before the October ’78 release of The Wiz. “For God’s sake, woman, jump!” – John Morlar. Easter egg: the movie has a palpable satanic undercurrent, including a prayer to Lucifer, death by hellfire, demonic possession, dying on the dark side of the moon, and talk of devils and damnation. Augmenting its diabolical vibe are its protagonists: Richard Burton, who was a year removed from Exorcist II: The Heretic (1977), and Lee Remick (1935-1991), who was two years out from The Omen (1976). Not only does The Medusa Touch foreshadow 9/11, but it foretells outer space-related disasters, such as the Challenger explosion and 2003’s Space Shuttle Columbia disintegration. One cannot help but think of 2019’s Notre-Dame’s fire (2019) when the fictitious Minster Cathedral qua Westminster Abbey comes crumbling down, and the targeted Windscale nuclear power station anticipates the Three Mile Island, Chernobyl, and Fukushima atomic incidents.
NBA superstar with the Los Angeles Lakers, Hall of Fame shooting guard Kobe Bryant (1978-2020) was another victim of the Native American/Aleister Crowley Rainbow-Oz death hex. He was born on August 23rd, 1978, nearly 39 years before The Wizard of Oz’s theatrical release of August 25th, 1939. The curse’s two grand killing numbers, 77, the Goat of Mendes, Heru-ra-ha/Ra-Ha-Khuit full grown in the Æon of Horus, and 42, the dreaded Dark Mother, are synonymous with Oz, plaguing Bryant, putting him in an early grave. Through the second half of his legendary career, Bryant wore jersey number 24, 42 backward, ticking off La Madre Oscuro. He started with number eight and won a scoring title in each number, scoring 16,777 (777 = The Kabbalah’s evil forces unified, 1 + 6 = 7, 7777, a lethal grand scale) points repping No. 8 and 16,866 points (1 + 6 + 8 + 6 + 6 = 27, 2 x 7 = 14, 7 + 7, 77) wearing No. 24. His trading cards are usually number 77 (see below), and on his final Halloween, October 31st, 2019, his entire family dressed as The Wizard of Oz’s cast (below), invoking the Saturnian bleating Goat and La Mère Noire, always ready, willing, and able to dole out pain and death. On January 26th, 2020, Kobe Bryant died violently in a helicopter crash seven months before his 42nd birthday alongside his 13-year-old daughter, Gianna (2006-2020); the latter’s nickname was “Gigi” pronounced as it is spelled “G G,” which is 77 as G is the seventh letter of the alphabet, becoming macabre fingerprints of Baphomet and the Dark Mother. Easter egg: the helicopter Kobe and his daughter were aboard, a Sikorsky S-76, made its first flight on March (3rd month) 13th, ’77; 3 + 1 + 3 = 7, for 777, the Qliphoth mobilized; as of the writing of this book, 875 (7 x 125) units have been built. The whirlybird’s model number, S-76, has a value of 77 in simple gematria employing Pythagorean reduction, S/1 = 1, 76 = 76, 1 + 76 = 77. From Cinema Symbolism 4… coming soon. Note: based on this author’s knowledge of this hex, kabalistic sorcery, and Pythagorean mathematics, this author believes these two sinister entities have set their sights on Sandra Bullock and Taylor Swift, but only time will tell.
“I am Oz, the great and powerful! Who are you? Who are you?” – The Wizard of Oz, The Wizard of Oz, 1939. Using numbers to invoke OZ (inadvertently), the Goat of Mendes: (Left) 2000 Upper Deck MVP Kobe Bryant trading card number 77. (Center) 2001 Fleer Platinum Kobe Bryant trading card #77, the Star Ruby, syncing with the Ruby Slippers, blood and gore, recalling Master Therion’s Star Ruby ritual (vide supra). (Right) 2008 Upper Deck MVP Kobe Bryant trading card #77, wearing the number 24 jersey, an inversion of the Dark Mother’s digit, summoning her from the Abyss’ shadows.(Left) 1998 Fleer Ultra Kobe Bryant Gold Medallion trading card conjures the Yellow Brick Road; its number is 61G: 6 + 1 = 7, and G is the seventh letter of the alphabet, giving us 77, identifying the dualistic God of the Knights Templar. (Right) “♫ But the picture has a mustache ♫” – Cream, “SWLABR,” 1967. On Samhain 2019, Kobe Bryant and his family costumed themselves as the cast of The Wizard of Oz (bad idea), becoming his death sentence. Easter egg: the origins of Bryant’s jersey numbers seem to go back to his days playing varsity basketball at Lower Merion High School in the Philadelphia suburb of Ardmore. As a freshman, he was on the varsity team, the Aces, but it finished with a 4-20 record, 4, 2 + 0 = 2, 42, the Dark’s Mother’s unholy number. When he got to the NBA, his jersey number was eight, which is 4 x 2, changing it to 24 (42 reversed) as a continuation of eight, hoping it would bring him luck by inverting the digit representing the Aces’ losses–hey, Kobe, how did that work out? However, the following three seasons, the Aces compiled a 77-13 record with Bryant playing all five positions; thus, 77 is an allusion to the team’s victories his sophomore, junior, and senior years; hence the trading cards are always number 77, OZ, the Goat of Mendes’ numeral, and the 13 defeats portend the age of his daughter Gigi (G G, 77) who perished with him, spiting the remaining family members.
Join Rob tonight, July 29th, 2023, when he will be a guest on Talking Weird debuting on the Untold Radio Network airing on YouTube. The show debuts at 11:00 pm EST; to watch this excellent podcast:
Although the book is still well over a year and a half away (it will not be released until after I have seen Joker: Folie à Deux, coming October 2024), I will post its revised Preface here next week on August 1st. I have shifted some material from Chapter I and the Introduction to the Preface as it has become clear this information needs to be introduced immediately in the book. I have other reasons for posting it early, which I will keep to myself for now. Stay tuned…
To all those waiting, here is the English version as it was recorded back on June 9th, 2023. Listen to Rob Sullivan and Vadim Shegalov analyze Route 66 (1960-1964), JFK (1917-1963), 9/11, Kabbalah, The Wizard of Oz, Aleister Crowley (1875-1947), the Church of Satan (est. 1966), and Tuesday Weld in this fascinating discussion. Check it out!
In this fascinating discussion, Rob and Vadim talk The Wizard of Oz (1939), JFK and his assassination, actress Tuesday Weld and her relationship with the Church of Satan (est. 1966), To Mega Therion, The Rolling Stones, and Route 66 (1960-1964). Is this all a coincidence? No, but likely examples of Jungian Synchronicities and Swedenborgian Correspondences. Check it out – this is the Russian dub.
Cinema Symbolism 4 is coming along nicely, but still not sure why this one is so hard to see.
Somewhere over the rainbow: (left) Dorothy Gale and her three compadres, a gutless Lion, a heartless Tin Man, and a brainless Scarecrow from The Wizard of Oz, morph into Dani Ardor (right, forefront) and her three companions: (left to right) Josh (William Jackson Harper), an unfeeling scholar, Mark (Will Pouter), a witless libertine, and Christian (Jack Reynor), a spineless toolbox in Midsommar. “Now and again Travellers cross the desert; they come from the Great Sea, and to the Great Sea they go.” – Aleister Crowley, “Dust-Devils” (Chapter 42), The Book of Lies, 1912.
Rob’s April 20th, 2023 appearance on The Outer Realm is archived on YouTube. The video is below, or you can click the banner to listen on the always popular SoundCloud. Rob discusses 9/11, occult Hollywood, and JFK’s missing brain.
Ti West strikes with Pearl (2022), a fantastic film that’s a blend of alchemy, a dash of The Wizard of Oz (1939), and throw in Lizzie Borden (1860-1927) for good measure. Not to mention a guest appearance by the Goat of Mendes. Check it out!
