NASA has created many secrets in plain sight. I blogged a bit about Apollo 11 in a previous post, in relation to why 11 “happened to be” the first mission to officially land a man on the moon.

Did you know the Apollo 11 astronauts brought some very interesting flags to the moon? Of course they left the Stars and Stripes (whose numerical symbolism I go into in my NY Part 2 video), but here is some little-known evidence of two other flags that went to the Moon on Apollo 11 which were returned to Earth:

The Vatican City Flag

As the fine print reads President Richard Nixon presented this flag to “the people of Vatican City” which was carried to the Moon by Apollo 11 and returned along with some moon fragments pictured at the top.

The Scottish Rite Flag

The cover of Richard Hoagland and Mike Bara’s book depicts the flag mentioned in Aldrin’s above letter, although they may have Photoshopped it over the US flag for dramatic effect. I don’t hold it against them as NASA has sure done a lot of airbrushing themselves (airbrushing is what people did in the old days before Photoshop).

The authors have say this in their eye opening book:

However, if you looked closely at the sky over the Apollo 11 landing site, 33 minutes after Landing, not only was Sirius (“Isis”) at 19.5 degrees…[the tetrahedral angle] but, so was the constellation of “Columba”—from which St. Columba and the Apollo 11 Command Module both ultimately drew their names. “The Dove” came with its own sets of coded “double meanings”—relating to ancient Egyptian systems for measuring the Earth, and “previous, now destroyed, ancient civilizations” (one version of which even shows up in the Old Testament, as the familiar Noah story of “releasing a dove after the Great Flood”)…. -Dark Mission page 252

Doves

Doves and pigeons constitute the bird family Columbidae.

Egyptians used to mummify birds, Celtic priestesses used to talk to birds to foretell the future in their sacred groves, in ancient Rome augurs would observe natural signs, especially the behavior of doves, interpreting these as an indication of divine approval or disapproval of a proposed action.

Ornithomancy (Gk. οἰωνίζομαι) is an Ancient Greek practice of reading omens from the actions of birds, equivalent to the Augury employed by the ancient Romans. Although it was mainly the flights and songs of birds that were studied, any action could have been interpreted to either foretell the future or relate a message from the gods. These omens were considered with the utmost seriousness by Greeks and Romans alike.

This casts a new light on things such as the Space Shuttle Columbia, the District of Columbia, Columbia University, the Goddess Columbia, the country of Columbia, and of course Christopher Columbus himself.

Columbus may very well have been the last Templar. See here and here.

Yes I am trying to learn the Language of the Birds but so far I hear only cheeps and squawks:

In mythology, medieval literature and occultism, the language of the birds is postulated as a mystical, perfect divine language, green language, adamic language, enochian language, angelic language or a mythical or magical language used by birds to communicate with the initiated.

Excuse me but a little bird told me to go feed the pigeons…

Thanks to Cort Lindahl for some of the above avian connections.

The Orion Connection

What does the Orion constellation have to do with the Greek Sun god Apollo? Pretty much nothing at first glance. But wait, what’s this?

The original Apollo mission insignia depicts the Orion constellation:

The ancient Egyptians saw Orion as Osiris, Lord of the Dead. Osiris was father to Horus, god of the Sun, just like Apollo was Sun god to the Greeks.

The much more recent Orion spacecraft has this insignia highlighting the three belt stars:

Robert Bauval and Adrian Gilbert connect the belt stars of Orion to the three pyramids of Giza in their famous book The Orion Mystery:

Here’s another Apollo mission patch that I find intriguing:

What does Stonehenge have to do with NASA and the Apollo missions to the Moon?

Nothing on the literal level and everything on the occult level.

See my Stonehenge episode for more info on how ancient Egypt is connected to this oldest of temples in the UK.

Note also the galactic cross centered in the night sky. This reminds me of the Galactic Cross written about here.

…and the Royal portals at Chartres Cathedral which is covered in my Chartres Part 2 episode.

The four winged beasts of the apocalypse or evangelists as they became known correspond with the astrological signs Aquarius, Scorpio (ancient symbol was a bird), Taurus, and Leo. Jesus sits inside a vesica pisces in the royal portal (central entry of Chartres). Here is another depiction:

One Times Square at 42nd and Broadway is 111m in height (see my Repeating Ones post). It was the second tallest building in New York City when it opened in 1904.

Times Square is known today as:

The Crossroads of the World

The Square that is a Triangle

The New York Times opened its new headquarters and somehow persuaded the city of New York to rename the triangular Longacre plaza a “square” in their honor. I find that interesting because squares and triangles are sacred design templates used in much occult architecture and urban design.

The Time Ball

The New York Times moved its headquarters away from Times Square only 9 years after One Times Square was built.

Notice that it isn’t called “The New York Times Square” but directly references time in the name “Times Square”.

Maybe that is why people were so easily sold on the concept of the time ball dropping ritual to celebrate the new year, something that has been happening in Times Square since 1907.

Waterford Crystal designed this 12 foot diameter crystal ball for the new millennium in 2000. The time ball is a complex polyhedron that marries pentagonal and hexagonal structures like a stellated soccer ball which I talk about in the Repeating Ones post.

The Time Ball Location

Mark Gray has discovered amazing spatial relationships centered on the Time Ball’s location.

The distance from the Time Ball to the torch on the Statue of Liberty is 5.55 miles. The torch is of course a symbol of illumination and the Illuminati.

The distance from the Time Ball to the tomb of Ulysses S. Grant, 18th president (6+6+6) of the United States is 6660 meters.

In my Phoenixes post I mentioned that a patent for the city was issued in 1874 by President Ulysses S. Grant, and in 1881 it was incorporated as the City of Phoenix.

“After the USA civil war, once General and then President Ulysses S. Grant, a 33rd degree Freemason, wanted to move the Capital of the USA to Phoenix, Arizona” -Source

Phoenix Arizona sprawls over 33°N. The Phoenix metropolitan area is called the Valley of the Sun. Heliopolis means City of the Sun.

The distance from the Time Ball to the center of the new Freedom Tower (aka One WTC) is 3.3 miles.

The Ritual Drop

The time ball is raised to the top of a pole on the top of One Times Square at 6pm on Dec 31st. At 11:59pm the illuminated ball starts to descend a total of 77 feet coming to rest at the bottom of the pole at midnight. At the precise moment of the New Year the illuminated ball is extinguished and billions of people kiss each other and exude tons of psychic energy.

Every year up to one million people gather in Times Square to watch the ball drop and an estimated one billion people watch the event on TV.

What an amazing amount of energy is sent through the crystal ball in Times Square to father time:

Computer permissions are wide open when they are set to an octal value of 777. Compare that with the octagonal Freedom Tower and you’ll see how everything is connected.

The Great White Way

“The Great White Way” is a nickname for a section of Broadway in the Midtown section of the New York City borough of Manhattan, specifically the portion that encompasses the Theatre District, between 42nd and 53rd Streets, and encompassing Times Square.

 The Milky Way resembles a Great White Way in the night sky.

The phenomenon of Galactic Alignment popularized by John Major Jenkins will occur at the crossroads of the galaxy if you will, that is the end of the Mayan long count calendar which will occur on 21 Dec 2012 at 11:11 AM GMT. See my Esoteric Astronomy video for more info.

The end of the Mayan calendar and this talk of a Ball Drop Ritual reminds me of another type of ball game:

At least the Ball Drop in Times Square doesn’t end up like this!

Or does it? What happens to the focused energy of one billion people when the ball drops?
