I've been expecting things to ramp up so that they have a good excuse to invade Iran/Syria, and the public will be all for it. Hadn't thought about the gun control treaty aspect. Also, they'll have a good reason to ramp up TSA and pass some more laws, for our safety. Quoting: Anonymous Coward 18143955 Just in time for the arms trade treaty.. does no one CC in CO? |

Definition of Aurora: The rising light of the morning; the dawn of day, or morning twilight.

Massive Chaos, Injuries And Death At Dark Knight Mall Viewing! Occult Ritual? This is incorrect. I do not worship the devil as an idol/god but LaVeyan Satanism plays a role in how I live my life. I do not believe in human sacrifice. thanx for clearing that up... i am also a satanist and couldnt imagine killing another human being other than for self preservation/survival...satanists are not devil worshippers(thats beneath us), im definitely not bowing to anything and satanism requires study not worship or sacrifice..it is a religion of the flesh(sensual pleasure that harms none and only involves those who want to be involved but if you try to manipulate our free will then you will have hell to pay)... though there are many kinds of satanism just as there are many doctrines in other beliefs... even from xtian literature(satan is there for honorable mention but predates xtianity) if you really read it you will see satan, devils, demons, infirmaries, familiar spirits.. having different functions in the bible(its funny how people get 'saved' from themselves then become scholars on everything wicked and satanic but only read the bible and christian endorsed propoganda lol).. and the only thing satan was cast out of according to christian mythology is heaven but he was never cast out of people, never trembled before the son of god, and rose up in 'believers' heart plenty of times.. and jesus himself just rebuked him for talking contrary... as far as this tragedy is concerned... could it be occult activity?... sure why not!(my first initial thought too which is surprising in the day of terrorism) but is it SATANISM? this would be pointless for a satanist to do when a willing living sacrifice(living flesh), is much more acceptable and powerful in satanism! just like the deity jehovah isnt accepting any and every thing/body.. neither is the symbol/deity satan all inclusive! MY sympathy and meditaion are with the victims may society annihalate the perpetrator for the betterment of all humanity! |

Massive Chaos, Injuries And Death At Dark Knight Mall Viewing! Occult Ritual? The police state will almost undoubtedly take advantage of this, as it does all security threats/crises, but in no way does that require or even indicate that this was a pre-meditated 'false flag'. The mind is fragile. Leading people by the neck is too costly and time consuming. Better yet to create certain conditions and allow "emergent phenomena" to take its course. The fact that this appear to be a well orchestrated, heavily armed military style attack is also no reason to assume direct support from any particular alphabet soup agency. As in the Brevik case, the tools and training are readily available to anyone who wants them, especially in the USA. There is an entire recreational subculture devoted to this kind of stuff with many "experts" willing to share their knowledge. The increasing level of sophistication of these attacks only makes this evident. Actually, it is far more interesting to apply the "occult significance" angle to a non-determined, emergent event like this rather than some kind of totlly scripted unfolding - given the occult symbology deals mostly on this intuitive level. Western media culture inculcates extreme narcissism, anti-social tendencies and depersonalization in people. You can bombard an entire population with triggers and cues. The mind is fragile. So-called "independent thinkers" often deny this idea, that most thoughts are implanted, not freely or spontaneously generated in the isoloated mind. We are much, much more a hive species than the 'individualist' disinformation agents will ever admit. All you have to do is wind them up and watch them go. The culture has violent schizophrenia built into it and pressures are accelerating - people will and are 'cracking up'. Its only a matter of time before the "muckers" start going postal more and more. This quote sums it up nicely: “True, you’re not a slave. You’re worse off than that by a long, long way. You’re a predatory beast shut up in a cage of which the bars aren’t fixed, solid objects you can gnaw at or in despair batter against with your head until you get punch-drunk and stop worrying. No, those bars are the competing members of your own species, at least as cunning as you on average, forever shifting around so you can’t pin them down, liable to get in your way without the least warning, disorienting your personal environment until you want to grab a gun or an axe and turn mucker.” ― John Brunner, Stand on Zanzibar [link to en.wikipedia.org] |

The aurochs was the great, black bull that was painted on cave walls alongside bison and mammoths by tacky prehistoric minimalist artists who had no sense whatsoever of modeling or perspective.

It is not as well known what part "aurochs tipping" may have had in teenage Neanderthal recreation. Me thinks perhaps not much. In early historical times, the aurochs played a significant role in the mythologies of many European civilizations.( When Zeus abducted Europa, it was in the guise of an aurochs. ) Julius Caesar wrote of the great black bulls in an account of the Black Forest..."They are but a little less than Elephants in size, and are of the species, color, and form of a bull. Their strength is very great, and also their speed. They spare neither man nor beast that they see. They cannot be brought to endure the sight of men, nor be tamed, even when taken young. The people who take them in pitfalls assiduously destroy them; and young men harden themselves in this labour, and exercise themselves in this kind of chase; and those who have killed a great number - the horns being publicly exhibited in evidence of the fact - obtain great honour. The horns, in amplitude, shape and species, differ much from the horns of our oxen. They are much sought after; and after having been edged with silver at their mouths they are used for drinking vessels at great feasts." Now, I'll try another website: "The word urus (/ˈjʊərəs/) comes to English from Latin, but came to Latin from Germanic origins.It declines in English as urus (sg), uruses (pl). The Germanic aurochs itself is from the combination of the urus root with Ochs(e), "ox". Although the aur-/ur- syllable has often been interpreted as being cognate with Germanic ur- meaning "original/proto-", it may have come from another root referring to water. The words aurochs, urus, and wisent have all been used synonymously in English. However, the extinct aurochs/urus is a completely separate species from the still-extant wisent (the European bison)." " Aurochs are depicted in many Paleolithic European cave paintings such as those found at Lascaux and Livernon in France. Their life force may have been attributed with magical qualities, for early carvings of the aurochs have also been found. The impressive and dangerous aurochs survived into the Iron Age in Anatolia and the Near East, and was worshipped throughout that area as a sacred animal, the Lunar Bull, associated with the Great Goddess and later with Mithras. Aurochs are depicted on the Ishtar Gate. A 1999 archaeological dig in Peterborough, England, uncovered the skull of an aurochs. The front part of the skull had been removed but the horns remained attached. The supposition is that the killing of the aurochs in this instance was a sacrificial act. The wild-ox called re'em (Strong's # 07214) in the Bible (Numbers 23:22 and 24:8, Deuteronomy 33:17, Job 39:9-10, Psalms 22:21, 29:6, 92:10 and Isaiah 34:7) is occasionally associated with the aurochs and has incorrectly been translated as 'unicorn' in the past (The International Standard Bible Encyclopedia, Entry for 'Wild Ox', Copyright, 1939, by Wm. B. Eerdmans Publishing Co.). Julius Caesar wrote [more here] about them in Gallic War Chapter 6.28, "...those animals which are called uri. These are a little below the elephant in size, and of the appearance, color, and shape of a bull. Their strength and speed are extraordinary; they spare neither man nor wild beast which they have espied. These the Germans take with much pains in pits and kill them. The young men harden themselves with this exercise, and practice themselves in this sort of hunting, and those who have slain the greatest number of them, having produced the horns in public, to serve as evidence, receive great praise. But not even when taken very young can they be rendered familiar to men and tamed. The size, shape, and appearance of their horns differ much from the horns of our oxen. These they anxiously seek after, and bind at the tips with silver, and use as cups at their most sumptuous entertainments." “If we could change ourselves, the tendencies in the world would also change. As a man changes his own nature, so does the attitude of the world change towards him. ... We need not wait to see what others do.” -Mahatma Ghandi |
