next up on the Illuminati website - boasting & big claims

This website is now entering the land of myth and legend. People in the future will wonder at the amazing secrets it revealed in its heyday. These secrets have now been distilled into the hundreds of books listed on the website, the greatest library of knowledge ever created. For the first time, humanity can now see what it is like to be God.

The God Series, comprising 32 epic books, will in future times be regarded as an astounding and almost unbelievable gift to humanity. In this series, humanity was given its pathway to solve ALL PROBLEMS.

The Armageddon Conspiracy website is the portal to human transcendence, to truly becoming God. It has provided Deliverance for the human race and facilitated its journey from man to angel to god.

and how do they choose to illustrate the "Deliverance" they have provided?

With a video by The Mission, that's how:


The Mission - Deliverance

I had to make a concerted effort to watch this. I've watched it once.

It seems too obvious, stating that they provide deliverance and then posting a video of a tune with the same name. There must be more going on.

Video is goth by numbers, but do the lyrics contain any clues?

Believe in magic believe in lore legend and myth
And the hand that guides in the cunning if hope in the weaving of dreams
And the lady of the lake takes my hand and leads me
To the holy isle and the fairy rings and the circles of stone
Forever and again
Give me, give me, give me, deliverance
Brother, sister, give me, give me
Deliverance, deliver me
Surrender to the wisdom of age and the spirits of time
Remember our souls entwined for eternity
And the healing hand of the fairy queen will come to all who have faith in her
And the apple tree will bear it's fruit in the gardens of avalon
Forever and again
Give me, give me, give me deliverance
Brother, sister, give me, give me
Deliverance, deliver me
Give me, give me, give me, deliverance
Brother, sister, give me, give me
Deliverance, deliver me
Let me sleep for awhile and dream of avalon and the beltane fires
And a silent kiss steals away into the mist and out to the lake
Where the sword will rise again from the water into the
Hands of the chosen one the righteous one
Forever and again
Give me, give me, give me, deliverance
Brother, sister, give me, give me
Deliverance, deliver me
Give me, give me, give me, deliverance
Brother, sister, give me, give me
Deliverance, deliver me


Magic, Avalon, King Arthur, Grail legend - trite, all too obvious

The Mission is basically Wayne Hussey, born into a heretical cult created by a charlatan who performed psychic searches for lost items, before hitting on the bright idea of saying he found some golden tablets engraved with the words of God and creating his own religion that allowed him to have multiple wives. The band were apparently named after the "proselytising mission" that members of the cult are supposed to undertake.

@john eden has written about the band, so read what he has to say as there is no point in me repeating that stuff

What I can say about Wayne Hussey was that before joining Sisters of Mercy is that he was living in Liverpool and hanging around with the ZOO records crowd - immediate RAW style Illuminati associations as Bill Drummond was co-founder of ZOO. Courtney Love was hanging in the same circles as a "teardrops groupie" - she'll pop up again in a future post in this thread... immediately before departing for Leeds, he was a member of Dead or Alive, fronted by Liverpool legend Pete Burns, who dedicated his life to an alchemical transformation

The band's management was called Golden Dawn Enterprises, a bit of an obvious nod to the influential occult order, who also managed All about Eve, famous in my mind for their stunning Top of the Pops appearance where someone forgot to turn on the tape for them to mime to, leaving them look lost and confused - hilarious stuff, but how accidental? Are we being shown the man behind the curtain?


Tim Bricheno of All About Eve sometimes played with the Mission live, and now teaches music in Guildford, a town that keeps popping up in this investigation - the "guild" in Guildford could refer to a society, maybe of stone masons?

If we employ a "King Kill 33" method of analysing the song then the results are more fruitful - immediate word association is with the name of the top grossing film of 1972 ( a significant year according to @suspended), Deliverance, based on a novel by James Dickey. The film could have been different as Dickey wanted Sam Peckinpah to direct, but got John Boorman instead. Nothing but disappointment for Dickey as he also wanted Marlon Brando to star, but he got Burt Reynolds. Boorman also tampered with Dickey's script which resulted in a drunk Dickey turning up on set and breaking Boorman's nose and shattering four of the director's teeth.

I'm sure I am one of many who can only recall two scenes from the film - the duelling banjos and the "squeal like a pig / you've got a purdy mouth" episode


Boorman received a gold record for the Duelling Banjos single, but it was stolen when Martin "The General" Cahill burgled his house. Cahill was alleged to have connections with the UVF who, allegedly, had MI6 staff within their ranks. The British secret services were founded by John Dee.

Deliverance is a tale of civilisation having to confront its primitive origins and overcoming them - an initiation

Dickey also wrote poems, one of which is titled The Owl King - the novel of Deliverance also features owls, both real and artificial. According to C. Hines Edwards, jr., in his paper Dickey's Deliverance: The Owl and The Eye

1639041174429.png

In Chrysopoeia: metaphysical reflections on transformation in James Dickey's "The Owl King" it is stated that:

In "The Owl King" Dickey is working to transmute his baser elements into something golden. Thematically, in his world of "mystical primitivism," Dickey calls upon the ancient tradition of alchemy to transform the images he conjured up in his craft. The meaning of alchemy varies, depending upon its usage. Alchemy can mean: "a medieval chemical philosophy having as its asserted aims the transmutation of base metals into gold, the discovery of the panacea, and the preparation of the elixir of longevity" or it could be used to describe "a seemingly magical power or process of transmuting" (Merriam-Webster).

For Dickey, the woods are a place that is fertile for discovering the essence of one's soul; it is a place where one is called to use the flint to illuminate the inner soul. This journey is a long journey. Muldrow explains that "It takes practice. A lot of years" to learn how to make the fire from the stone work (To the White Sea 13). And similarly, the blind son states that he has been in the woods "... for years" (92). The recurrence of this theme is seen in Alnilam (a book which might take some people years to read.) Both Alnilam and "The Owl King" deal with fathers and sons, blindness, and the recurring use of the word gold).

This act, of extracting fire from within, is the symbolic expression of the awakening the Kundalini energy which lies dormant at the base of the spine. In Hindu mythology, the Kundalini is often symbolized by as a snake for the way in which it lies coiled at the base of the spine, and when awoken, moves up the spine into the brain. When this transformation begins, it is often felt as a fire permeating throughout the body. One may shake, hear sounds, feel vibrations, and begin to have visions and/ or begin to see colors. Frank Cahill had similar experiences in Alnilam. The blind son in "The Owl King" says, "I shut my eyes/and my eyes are gold/./as gold as a king's (92).

The Owl of Minerva ( alt; Athena ) was a symbol used by the Bavarian Illuminati:

1639041278112.png

The Owl of Athena:

1639041376828.png

Athena became Diana in the Roman Pantheon. And of course it was Diana who was ritually slaughtered in a tunnel. Owls are believed to be able to show the road to Hades, which is underground.

In The Princess Di Conspiracy ( the Film They Don't Want You to See) By Patrick O'Connor there is a scene where Diana is presented with an artificial owl by "major" James Hewitt ( he has to make a living as a gardener now, hard times ):

1639041520505.png

Owls figure heavily in UFO lore


not to forget Bohemian Grove

The Mission - Deliverance

I totally forgot to conclude that post by mentioning Alan Garner's The Owl Service, which adapts Welsh myth of Blodeuwedd, telling the story of an eternal cycle enacted by each generation in a Welsh valley:

The only way to break the cycle is for the Blodeuwedd character to realise she is supposed to be flowers, not an owl

Alan Garner also wrote one of my favourite childhood books, The Weirdstone of Brisingamen, which brings us back to The Mission, as it has implicit Arthurian themes as do the lyrics to Deliverance

The Garner family had passed on "a genuine oral tradition", teaching their children the folk tales about The Edge, which included a description of a king and his army of knights that slept under it, guarded by a wizard, and in the mid 19th century, Alan's great-great grandfather Robert had carved the face of a bearded wizard onto the rock of a cliff next to a well that was known in local folklore as the Wizard's Well

Imagine my disappointment when I finally visited Alderley Edge and found the caves littered with used condoms, crisp bags, and empty cans of lager.

that's exactly the significance of the wrong number! the switchboard of spirits! you'e got it!

1639790991225.png

and if by magick, the latest book by the Mike Hockney version of the "Illuminati" is a book all about Ouija

They came from nowhere. They were the ordinary necromancers. They inaugurated the age of necromancy, and they were armed only with Ouija boards. They understood the science of Ouija, and with that knowledge they knew they could change the world.To know how to contact the dead, you need to know where they are. You need to know what a soul is and how it relates to and interacts with a physical body. You need to understand the bicameral brain and the mystery of the “second mind” and second consciousness. You need to know what the true “ether” is and how it connects all of us. The “ether” is non-local, immaterial and dimensionless. It’s a mental Singularity, made of light, which is outside space and time and links everything.Come and learn the secrets of the dead. Discover their language. Make contact with the Other World. You will never be the same again.

The release of the Ouija book has screwed up my methodical investigation of the illuminati homepage because they've gone and added a whole bunch of rubbish music videos at the top of the page, but I'm just going to continue from where I left off...

their site has a rant about how we're living in a "wasteland":
Predatory Capitalism died in 2008 just as surely as Communism died when the Berlin Wall fell in 1989. The world has been operating under a zombie system ever since. Now THE VIRUS has come forth to finish off the grotesque creature. We are now in the Wasteland. Only a Holy Grail can redeem the situation. The finest knights are called. The greatest Amazonians have been summoned. Who are the world-historic figures who will step forward?

and to illustrate this they pick a song called "Wasteland" - seems a bit lazy, there must be more going on...


The Mission - Wasteland

the youtube description: "Derided by critics as pompous, melodramatic, and bombastic" - I'm not going to argue with that opinion

What is interesting straightaway is what is missing - apparently the song should start off with:

I still believe in God
But God no longer believes in me


but I can not hear those lyrics in this version

( poor Wayne, brought up in a cult, believing in a God who does not exist - an absence of divinity...)

instead we get this doggerel:

There's a crystal view from my window
And I can see years to come
I live for the burn and the sting of pleasure
I live for the sword, the steel, and the gun
I can tear down the walls, storm them barricades
Run to the place where the frightened crawl
Desire lurks beyond good and evil
So dance on the graves where the hammer falls

Over this land
All over this wasteland
Over this land
All over this wasteland

You can touch, but please keep your distance
You're innocent and pure and with no shame
The spirit is willing, and the flesh is great
Your teasing your torment with the pleasure of pain

Heaven and Hell, I know them well
But I haven't yet made my choice
I'm feeling dead 'cause I'm shouting loud
And NO ONE can hear my voice
Walking the tightwire, can't look down
Strung out high, above you all
Faithful wind blows through this land
Howls my name, Hell is my fall.


It seems as if Iggy Pop is a fan of the original opening couplet:

One thing that seems to be very personal about that record is there seems to be a lot of religious angst and confusion, maybe to do with your own religious upbringing and the conflicting, hedonistic lifestyle that you were going into. In particular ‘Wasteland’ and those opening lines about, “I still believe in God, but God no longer believes in me.” It’s quite powerful stuff, really.

WH: Yeah. Well, that was just a whim, one night in the studio: I was just about to sing and I just thought, oh, I’ll say this, “I still believe in God, but…” Oh, that’s good, let’s keep that! I remember the first time I met Iggy Pop, we were at a festival and Iggy Pop was on with us, and I was trying to get Jez our roadie to get one of Iggy’s roadies to introduce me. And he was stood there and looking at me and kind of laughing at what I was asking him. And then I felt this little tap on my shoulder and I turned round and it was Iggy. And he said “Hi, I’m Jim, you’re Wayne aren’t you? I love that opening line on your album, ‘I still believe in God but God no longer believes in me.’” And he recited it to me, and that was like, one of the best moments of my life! To be recognised by one of your heroes, you know, like, wow, man! And we became good friends for a few years, he sent me Christmas cards and I went to visit him in his apartment in New York, so that was cool.

I have actually heard this song before, but without knowing it was The Mission UK ( as they are known in the USA to avoid confusion with an R'n"B band from Philadelphia ). It was was used in my favourite episode of Miami Vice, where Crockett, a detective, a detective on the Vice squad, a detective who is supposed to investigate drug deals, totally fails to notice that his girlfriend is a junkie ( played by a 20 year old Helena Bonham Carter, "the hairiest woman in showbiz" )


It's incidental music for a car chase - I probably didn't even register it as anything other than coke rock

"Coincidentally" Iggy Pop was supposed to appear in Miami Vice in an earlier season of the show

1639793208750.png

but fucked it up according to The Philadelphia Inquirer:

1639793320705.png

The Ig was slated to play opposite fellow Michigander Glenn Frey in a February 1st, 1985 episode named after Frey’s song, “Smuggler’s Blues.” But Pop didn’t turn up on set, and his absence was widely reported in the press. “He was supposed to be in the show. We announced it,” said an NBC spokesperson in January 1985. “But when it came time to make the arrangements, we couldn’t find him.” It seemed Iggy had simply flaked.

1639793637432.png

Miami Vice must have accepted this explanation, as Iggy was cast in another season one episode, entitled “Evan.” Pop’s part was that of a police informant named Thumper, a proprietor of a S&M-themed club. A scene was shot in the club’s setting, and Iggy’s guest role was noted in newspapers, but when the episode aired on May 3rd, 1985, the Ig was nowhere to be seen.

1639794026149.png

Iggy & the Dominatrix

This scene was cut by NBC Censors (Broadcast Standards Division) due to its S&M content. Camille Sands, an actress who had the small part of a dominatrix called Velvet, remembered later that the scene contained a customer of the S&M studio being molested on a torture rack while Don Johnson talked to Iggy Pop. The urge of NBC to cut this out led to the first serious argument with the Miami Vice producers, who refused to alter the episode. Subsequently, NBC used its contractual right of final cut, and cut the whole scene.

absences: Hussey's God, Iggy Pop, and what else?

On the "Wasteland" tour, one of The Mission had to duck out due to "exhaustion" ( aka a lightweight ) - but more importantly:

Elvis the Alligator!

Earlier seasons of Miami Vice featured Crockett's pet, Elvis the Alligator, ( and his double, "Presley" ), but he's absent from the "Theresa" episode which features the Mission tune

1639794251553.png

Elvis The Alligator

What could this signify? Alligators are members of the Crocodilian family

1639794788958.png

Atu 0 of the Thoth Tarot depicts The Fool standing above a Crocodilian, a form of the Egyptian God Sebek

In the commonplace interpretation of the card, the Scholiasts say that the picture is that of a gay, careless youth, with a sack full of follies and illusions, dancing along the edge of a precipice, unaware that the tiger and crocodile shown in the card are about to attack him. It is the view of the Little Bethel. But, to initiates, this crocodile helps to determine the spiritual meaning of the card as the return to the original Qabalistic zero; it is the "He' final" process in the magical formula of Tetragrammaton

This card also features imagery relating to the Grail myth and the legend of the Fisher King which are both prominent themes of T.S. Elliot's The Waste Land - notice the space that is missing from the Mission's title for their song - another absence

The really important feature of this card is that its number should be 0. It represents therefore the Negative above the Tree of Life, the source of all things. It is the Qabalistic Zero. It is the equation of the Universe, the initial and final balance of the opposites; Air, in this card, therefore quintessentially means a vacuum.

Sometimes absence is more important than presence

in my drunken haze last night I forgot to mention the Crocodilian from the sex magick teachings disguised as a puppet show, commonly known as Punch and Judy

1639829386064.png

Steve Ignorant, formally of anarcho punk band Crass, demonstrates the Punch vs Crocodile scene from Punch & Judy

the basic routine is:

Punch has a string of sausages
A crocodile comes up and steals them
Punch tries to pat the crocodile
Punch is bitten on the nose

The crocodile represents the reptilian brain which Punch, the Fool of the Tarot, has to battle with to control his base instincts, one of the first steps taken on a spiritual path
