What Is Gold...

You know, what I really want to do, is just show a series of well-composed photographic shots. For me, I find that even the rich studios making movies for Netflix and mainstream Hollywood, are apparently not capable of finding camera directors and production designers who know a single thing about why human beings are attracted to visual images and stories told through the visual media.

I was watching through - I stopped following it properly almost within seconds - this new production titled 'A Simple Favor,' and the whole thing was made by an amateur; if you ask me.

Great place, what the hell are we going to show, though

You see, whoever made the movie has an ambition to present, to show visually, one thing - which is namely, these 'motifs' about the upper middle classes, maybe even the elite; all kinds of images and more-or-less memex concepts and style object/icons particularly to do with male-centric 'success'-related culture. Underlying the narrative themes is a twisted political hypothesis about gender...

Yeah... Boringly, we have an apparent female plotting and committing, and then failing, to get away with a murder for gain and materialistic objectives. How original and so stunningly confronting to our attitudes...

Not.

I say 'apparently' because this leads me onto another (live performance) art form I recently sat through - this time the 'high-brow' cultural disquisition in actual practice, of operatic singing.

Now it's no big deal for European high brow people this whole thing about gender-swapping or gender vagueness or gender uncertainty - Edward De Vere's plays are filled with the kind of thing, so to the writing of Virginia Woolf, and the most famous theatrical Impresario of all time - Diaghilev - had many friends of the 'uncertain gender' kind.

I can tell you that it is well known in the world of operatic singing for there to have been lead singers and stage performers said to be male, who were not, or female, who were not.

But today, in a world that makes much of 'honesty,' I think it would be somewhat of a shock that mainstream opera and classical singing production companies are pushing 'stars' - literally the lead sopranos - around the world, who are in fact men or transgendered.

I am not going to say who is, in the current season of opera performance around the world.

But suffice for me to advise you, that there are, some.

But back to the film shot composition matter - these idiots who are making this run of modern era rubbish (and there have always been the crowd that does it) do not understand a lot of basics; and it just won't do to say 'oh they intend to do it this way.' No, they don't. Because the movies are failing at the sales counters.

They are failing to make money. And yes, you can go full Gonzo and insist that this also means they are so smart they actually intend to fail because it is consistent with their intellectual objectives of 'art.'

So in any case, what I will be doing over coming articles, is attempt to showcase a few photographs and images I think demonstrate what a good shot is like. I'm not going to go into the technical details because hell, others will have a lot more technical detail than I can enunciate hereabouts. 

Here is a pic of Diana Widmaier Picasso, the grand-daughter of Pablo Picasso. You can see she has the sensitivity to the composition of shots, that too many of today's camera directors simply do not have. 

She is also a proponent of gold-backed currency.

If The English Had Stewart Kings Today

What would a modern-day 'Stewart' look like, or be like?

There were, of course more than fifty recognized claimants to the throne on the disappearance of James II - though these were not specifically sons of James of course! Nor of his brother Charles II.

When Henry Sydney and Thomas Osbourne brought in the House of Orange-Nassau, those Stewarts who I suppose 'missed out' turned to other matters - piracy, theater, all kinds of things.

Chivas Regal 'war-room' and Savile Row

Most of these people had very rare British surnames, and often those names are composites of French place-names combined with English or Welsh or Scots or Irish phrases and occasionally names.

One of these families is the 'Coverdale' family who were basically in everything from tea shipping and merchant trading as well as stage and theatrical productions and music and dance. Music, of course, especially of the more formal kind, was not a cheap business, as the paper stock used was the first grade even before bank certificate paper.

Here we have David Coverdale, originally from Yorkshire, more or less seventy years old now - whose grandmother was the leader of a Dance and Music troupe in Scotland and England known as 'Clara Coverdale's Nine Dancing Dots...'

The Coverdales are one of the legitimate lines to the Stewart Kings, also being closely related to Louis the 'Sun King' of France.

What kind of place might Paris be today, with David, King of France and Britain leading the band there, instead of 'Macron...' 

Waiting For A Star To Fall

The modern politician on the whole is a soulless individual. There is no scope to give ground on this description for someone like a Macron, for instance.

He is presiding over the total destruction of the Eternal City of Love and Romance...

No bad thing can come from the beautiful...

There are people in the internet world who believe he literally is some kind of 'End of All Time' figure in that speculative narrative about the future. Maybe Nostradamus spoke of him, maybe the Book of Revelation! I don't know...

You see, I think we've talked about this before - this 'chateau' in Belgium specifically, the one with the dome ceiling 'of a thousand points of light.' The Chateau des Amerois. People are of course, mixing up a lot of modern urban mythology about the Rothschilds and so on, and maintain that this chateau is where the 'elect' of a particular European Satanic cult conduct various gruesome blood-sports and then induct some acolyte of theirs, whom they then put into worldly power at their malevolent and diabolical service. Macron was a protege of the Rothschild (French branch) banking group.

But you see, that which has fallen is not a star any longer, and if it falls having lost its 'astral effulgence' it no longer has the 'spirit power' of a star. 

There are two distinct types of 'star' coming down to Earth. One comes without ever having lost anything - it comes on a deliberate purpose, on a mission...

  

Make A Wish II

Don't make any mistake, this is the place where magic is spoken about.

Ancient Egypt - although in fact the term was also applied at the height of the Pharaohs - to Byblos, and the city of Thebes - that whole empire was known as 'Al Khemet;' the lands of the greatest sorcerers. 

Christmas gifts from the East...

As you already know, the magician never shows his tricks - so a warm welcome to all those new folk who have responded to our little marketing stunt elsewhere re the poker staking advances project. But as little said about that for the present the better; let's not disclose too much there for the moment. Suffice to say, once you think about it you will realize that once you show where money is actually flowing, every man and his proverbial dog makes for that stream!

...And muddies it for you. And then you won't be able to see the diamonds or the emeralds or rubies in the clear stream as before.

Magic - real magic - is done by very few people on Earth at any given time. What you see everywhere are rumors about it and speculations dressed up as knowledge and these have even become actual ritualistic practices with names and labels about the bodies of belief entailed to the extent that at least in the wider and factually relatively ignorant community of ordinary people, these labels have become the very things they parodied or aspired to being from the outside. ...Leaving the real stream to be clear all on its own somewhere else.

This is a video made for the Arabian Oud company, and it very cleverly parodies some words and phrases from Islamic scholarly traditions - it talks about 'ideas,' 'lack of understanding' 'hidden depths of knowledge' and how those deeply learned are the only ones able to penetrate the mysteries and secrets even though all can experience the power.

This Yule-Tide...

I was watching the rather infamous 'Red Ice TV' this morning - which had been completely banned from YT for a while, and then 'shadow banned' but it's back up and running now with its particular version of the Viking or 'Scandi-White Supremacy' thing.

Of course I actually watch everything, all kinds of nonsense from total complete utter insane nonsense to just the fairly mild forms of nonsense and everything else in between.

If you are the kind of person who gets caught up in one, or a few, only, of any particular 'brands' of truth then I'm afraid the internet could do you more harm than it can just entertain or enlighten you. 

Kim Novak in 'Bell, Book and Candle.'

Anyway to get directly to the point, I watched one video Red Ice presented about the festival of 'Yule,' in which they asserted, virtually without any kind of doubts of themselves and what they were saying, that 'yule' is a Norse folkloric thing. And they jumped to all sorts of related other Winter Solstice items of folklore like Lussinatta (St Lucy's Day, 13 December) and a bunch of other stuff. 

'Yule' is an enormously ancient word and it is not a Scandinavian word nor is it of Nordic origin.

It occurs in the Book of Daniel in the original Aramaic in the phrase 'Attik Yo-El-min:' 'the one who is Ancient of Days.' Doesn't really say 'the One,' it says the 'God Person.' In the Book of Daniel he has a long white beard and lots of white hair and a long clean shining robe.

The other Red Ice TV clip I watched was of an interview with the young man who calls himself 'Styxhexenhammer666.' This gentleman is very learned for his age, and although I wouldn't call him brilliantly intelligent is nonetheless a kind of a modern day intellectual who has an extremely grounded mentality and a lot of common sense.

He refers to a lot of occult ideas regularly, and he seems to have a wide knowledge of a lot of the written occult texts, especially those of the last five hundred years or so.

'The Ancient of Day's' identity is the Primal Divine Being, who exists completely inside and outside of the whole spiral of Time - in the deepest Past, in the most vivid present, and even in the far distant Future. He carries a glowing lamp which throws light all around him even in the midst of utter darkness and the most bitter cold. The 'Yo-El' log is a piece of dried, dead, wood, that you burn in the middle of Winter, at night, when everything is cold and dark, and, in the embers of the burned log, a portal is opened through which enters the Spirit of the Ancient of Days. 

I've never seen anyone explain exactly where the word 'Yule' comes from as I have just done... 

You hear a lot these days about Wicca and 'natural religions' or 'Nature religions.' Most of these young kids swipe the ideas they have about Witchcraft and Nature Religions from movies like 'Bell, Book, and Candle' which they assume to be about Witches and written by Witches.

Bell, Book and Candle is about gays. And it's written by a gay who wrote during a time when there were still laws against homosexuality. The story masquerades as being about Witches and a small Community of Witches in Greenwich Village, Lower Manhattan - but it is actually about gay people in the gay lifestyle.

And so, what you know about Witches from these kids nowadays, that is if you get your information from them, is very wide of the mark indeed.

In the film of the original play of 'Bell, Book and Candle' it is claimed that the male version of the word for a Witch is 'Warlock.' And that is not correct. A male Witch is called a 'Witch.'
