Music of the Illuminati Study Group

[william_kent]

Next up on the "illuminati" website is a thank you to all those people who bought some of their books ( available print on demand on Amazon ). I suppose that includes me, now that I've gone and purchased a couple of them.

The AC has always attracted a core of truth seekers. It has also attracted any number of nutcases. We have endured countless antagonists, apostates, heretics, traitors, trolls, false friends, the falsely awakened, and the downright psychopathic. So it goes. Neverthless, we applaud all of those who have stood by us. You have been a true Tower of Strength.

And to illustrate that, yet another song by The Mission, imaginatively titled Tower of Strength.



The Mission - Tower of Strength

According to Wikipedia:

Barbara Ellen of NME described the song as "as pompous and facile as everything else The Mission have produced since having their fingers prised away from Eldritch's infinitely more stylish skirts."

I'm not going to disagree with her opinion.

Some people have noted that it bears a resemblance to Led Zeppelin's Kashmir, but they can be forgiven seeing as John Paul Jones ( real name, John Baldwin ) produced the song.

Wayne Hussey, singer and songwriter from the band, noted that the drummer, Mick Brown, and John Paul Jones, spent more than two days programming the sequencer for the track.

John Paul Jones is an enigma. I once read an anecdote from one of the 70s LA groupies where she recounted that she gave him a book containing everything she knew about him - every page was blank.

An employee of Atlantic Records in France stated that, "The wisest guy in Led Zeppelin was John Paul Jones. Why? He never got caught in an embarrassing situation."

He is the one member of Led Zeppelin who has been unaffected by the "curse of Led Zeppelin" - the mythology is that the other 3 members of the band made an infernal pact, selling their souls in exchange for International fame and fortune, but as payback suffered personally - Robert Plant's carcrash, the death of his son, Jimmy Page's slide into addiction and his ongoing feud with his neighbour, Robbie Williams, who allegedly harassed Page by playing Black Sabbath records at maximum volume, and John Bonham's untimely death.





It seems Jimmy Page's castle isn't a "tower of strength" if it is susceptible to the bad vibrations emanating from Robbie William's house..




The gatefold cover of the "Four Symbols" album - note the tower symbolism, modernity replacing the past

Led Zeppelin's best selling album, receiving 23 platinum discs, featured 4 symbols, one for each member of the band ( plus a fifth one assigned to Sandy Denny ). John Paul Jone's symbol was the Triquetra, a circle with three intersecting Vesica Pisces ( the topologically simplest possible knot), lifted from The Book of Signs by Rudolf Koch





My interpretation of his "sign used to exorcise evil spirits" is that the 3 intersecting Vesica Pisces represent the 3 members of the band who entered into the infernal contract, while JPJ was outside the circle and unaffected by the curse. It wasn't such a lucky symbol for someone else though...



The symbol was also used on the cover of The Book Of Shadows, a prop on the TV series Charmed which did not bring much luck to Brad Kern, the show runner on the series who took it home and is now fired by CBS disgraced due to allegations of misconduct of a Led Zeppelin sexual nature.

"As many of you know Brad Kern took the original Book of Shadows saying that ‘he and I would share custody of it,'" Combs tweeted in December 2017, when investigations against Kern first went public. "Well, that never happened. So now I encourage Brad Kern to auction the Book and donate proceeds to a woman's charity."

Milano seconded this notion. "The original Book of Shadows was promised to Holly," she told the Cut. "Brad is being investigated for sexual harassment, so if he's not giving it to Holly, he should auction the Book of Shadows off and give the proceeds to Tarana Burke's #MeToo Foundation."

and as for the song by The Mission... it was originally written as a thank you to their hard core fans, the "eskimos" ( I suppose maybe we should refer to them as "inuits" nowadays? It's not on to use "eskimo" in these times ).

The video for the song is generally regarded as rubbish but there are some interesting details. The horse that Wayne is riding at the beginning is a mixture of black and white, a similar colour scheme as Pulcinella ( aka Punchinello ), the basis for the Punch character in the occult play Punch and Judy

He was dressed in white with a black mask. So we have the double symbolism of the mask and the use of Black and White.

Punchinello used to stand out, even then, for his peculiar voice, “whose sharp and vibrant qualities produced with a tool called a swazzle contribute to the intense tempo of the show”. Punch still has that voice even now.

Punchinello, and as a consequence Punch and Judy, is about the sexual methods of obtaining spiritual experience.

and of course, the teachings of Punch and Judy are expounded in a Tower:



Notice the traditional red and white pattern of the Tower - can this refer to the tower that housed the red and white dragons that Merlin, the wizard of the Grail mysteries, found beneath it?

Merlin first appears when, following the massacre of the British chieftains by the Saxon leader, Hengist, in the treacherous ‘Night of the Long Knives’, the British King Vortigern flees to Wales where he tries to build a strong tower to protect himself. But every night, the progress made by his builders is mysteriously undone when the foundations crumble. His wizards claim that only by mixing in the blood of a child who has no mortal father will he make the foundations sound. Merlin is found and brought to Vortigern for his purpose, but he is able to see a pool beneath the tower, in which lie two sleeping dragons, one white and one red, and he explains that the white dragon (i.e. the Saxons) will triumph over the red (i.e. the British). He then enters a trance and foretells the future of the Britons to the end of time, predicting the coming of a great king by the name of Arthur.

If we look past the usual explanation then I think we can view the dragons as representing the Kundalini energies that the Punch and Judy show teaches us about -energies that Punch is struggling to control - also, in the film Excalibur, directed by John Boorman ( see the Deliverance post upthread ), Merlin makes use of "dragon breath" to weave his spells.. the 'tower of strength' can be viewed as the spine that the dragon energies are channeled through...

In order to effectively use sexual methods, the energy that would normally be expended during orgasm and emission has to be diverted and it is both literally and figuratively ‘stored’ – this is shown in the figure who usually has a very exaggerated stomach. The energy is usually used for a controlled kundalini experience, but it can simply be used as a means of provoking spiritual experiences and ‘opening the door’. In eastern systems such as that used by Qigong or Ninpo, this reservoir of energy is known as the DanTien.

This suspicion is reinforced by the use of the scarecrow puppet in the video



This puppet bears a resemblance to the Scarecrow character in the occult film The Wizard of Oz, a character who believes he has no brains, but in reality it is only because he is young and has not realised his potential for development, much the same as Punch who only comes to realisation through a number of spiritual struggles ( represented by Judy, the policeman, the crocodile, etc., ). We should remember that Aleister Crowley was the author of Liber OZ which states "There is no god but man" ,a message that the Illuminati website is intent on telling us. And of course one of the means for attaining "godhood" as taught in the Crowley system is through the secrets of sex magick, a method that is also encoded in the Grail Mysteries ( the "lance" of Parsifal must drip "blood" into the "Holy Grail", etc., )

TLDR; the "Tower of Strength" is the kundalini energy rising through the chakras

Wayne Hussey had his own late-night Dionysian tantrum when the powers of astrology met Amstrad technology.

From MasonicWorld.com: " As both were then, as now, matters of importance, it is evident that the plucking off of the shoe, as a pledge of honor and fair dealing, was of equal importance, comparable with our swearing to our signatures to documents before a Notary Public"



(couldn't resist...as you were).

Ruth 4: 7-8:

"Now this was the manner in former time in Israel concerning redeeming and concerning changing, for to confirm all things; a man plucked off his shoe and gave it to his neighbor: and this was a testimony in Israel".

Exodus 3:5: The angel of the Lord, at the burning bush, exclaimed to Moses: "Draw not nigh hither. Put off thy shoes from off thy feet, for the place whereon thou standeth is holy ground."

Joshua 5:15: "And the captain of the Lord's host said unto Joshua, Loose thy shoe from off thy foot; for the place whereon thou standeth is holy."

the problem with that is that he dodged it with such grace and style that he becomes the hero.

theres no telling of that story in which he is not the star. he dodges it beautiful, like its nothing

therefore quintessentially means a vacuum

Sean Mayes about Bowie in 1978: "When David sat down later, he tucked one leg up under him and I noticed that the sole of his shoe was as clean as the day he'd bought it. OK, maybe the shoes were new, but it struck me that he hardly ever sets foot in the street. It's all hotels, limousines, sterilised airports."

but.. I love how @martin and @WashYourHands are setting up the seque into my next lunatic post about the Liverpool / RAW illuminati scene revolving around the Probe record shop ( this isn't it by the way, soon come )

“Once I was walking towards Probe Records when the door burst open and a huge skinhead who was often around the shop making trouble came flying out backwards closely followed by Pete Burns in what can only be described as an eighteenth-century shepherd’s smock, an upside-down straw top hat with his dreads cascading out of the top, full make-up and massive heeled boots. He shot down the steps sideways like a crab and, before the skinhead could get up, lifted his leg up and, fast as a snake, pierced him with the stiletto of his boot in the centre of the chest! That skinhead was truly massive and was a real nuisance, we were all slightly scared of him, but I will never forget his shriek of pain – like something from a slaughterhouse! At the time this happened, I was going to the same very rough boy’s school Pete had gone to – locals called it ‘Chegger Road’ – and to see a huge, malevolent force dispatched with speed and precision by a lad from Chegger in a dress gave me a new definition of strength and confidence.”

coincidence? or synchronicity?

of course Wayne Hussey was in Dead Or Alive before he decamped to Leeds

absent from this video, they didn't need Wayne & his guitar
