OTTAWA—Actor Michael J. Fox is now an officer of the Order of Canada.
The Edmonton-born actor and activist is among 43 people who received their medals from Gov. Gen. David Johnston at a Rideau Hall ceremony.
Others include rock legend Robbie Robertson, hockey commentator Howie Meeker, Acadian filmmaker Phil Comeau, former cabinet minister Anne McLellan and Trudeau biographer Stephen Clarkson.
Fox was honoured for his efforts on behalf of those suffering from Parkinson’s disease, as well as his television and film work.
Fox, diagnosed with Parkinson’s two decades ago, called the award a great honour.
He chuckled that he felt like an imposter when he glanced around at his fellow inductees.
“I don’t begin for a second to put myself in the league of any of these people,” he said. “When I listen to what they’ve done, that’s Canadian to me. It’s a seriousness and a sense of humour, it’s a lot of contradictions.”
He said Canada always makes him think “of vast spaces and tight communities.”
“We think of ourselves huddled against the elements and helping each other. It’s very moving to be part of it.”
THE NAZI HUNT FOR HOLY TREASURE FROM THOR'S HAMMER TO THE HOLY GRAIL
Heinrich Himmler was infected by a virulent strain of spiritualism which fed into his racist, supremacist world view and drove him to search for holy relics.
Lost Relics of the Knights Templar sees treasure hunters Carl Cookson and Hamilton White embark on a global odyssey. Their objective: to trace the past of a hoard of artefacts which may have once belonged to the Templars. One of their destinations is Wewelsburg, the imposing German castle which served as the spiritual sanctum for Heinrich Himmler and the SS.
Today, the castle is a looming reminder of how so many members of the Third Reich were beguiled by ancient myths, old orders of chivalry, and the occult. We all know the pantomime villain Nazis of the Indiana Jones films, desperate to dig up the Ark of the Covenant and the Holy Grail. But the fact is, many real-life Nazis were just as obsessed as their cackling silver screen counterparts.
Himmler in particular was infected by a virulent strain of spiritualism which fed into his racist, supremacist world view. For him, establishing a new Aryan empire meant resurrecting ancient Germanic myths and iconography. He believed the war against the lesser races required the overturning of traditional Christian morality, replacing it with a new kind of pseudo-religion that drew on chivalry and mysticism.
The now-notorious insignia of the SS, resembling two lightning bolts, was based on runes devised by an Austrian occultist and pagan called Guido von List. The SS itself was, in Himmler’s mind, an elite organisation in the tradition of the Teutonic Knights – an order which, like the Templars, came into existence during the Crusades. Himmler’s grand scheme was to establish Wewelsburg Castle as the Camelot of his modern-day knights. One of the rooms was even named after King Arthur, while another was designated the ‘Grail Room’.
Despite his aversion to conventional Christianity, Himmler was fascinated by the legend of the Grail, perhaps seeing it as a source of immense power. After all, he believed that another fabled artefact – Thor’s hammer – could be requisitioned as a weapon by the Third Reich. In an outlandish letter to the Ahnenerbe, a think tank set up to give academic backing to Nazi racial ideology, Himmler stated his belief that Thor’s hammer was ‘an early, highly developed war weapon of our forefathers’. For this reason, Himmler demanded that Ahnenerbe’s team should ‘find all places in the northern Germanic Aryan cultural world where an understanding of the lightning bolt, the thunderbolt, Thor's hammer, or the flying or thrown hammer exists’.
Himmler personally embarked on a failed mission to find the Holy Grail in 1940, visiting an abbey perched within the Montserrat mountain range in Catalonia. He was presumably led there by the belief that Montserrat was the real-life ‘Montsalvat’, location of the Grail in an Arthurian opera by Hitler’s favourite composer, Richard Wagner. This opera, Parsifal, was based on a medieval German poem called Parzival, written by a knight named Wolfram von Eschenbach. And this poem had already been an inspiration to another Grail hunter in the Nazi regime: Otto Rahn.
Rahn was a somewhat eccentric medievalist who believed there was a link between the story of Parzival and Catharism – a movement that flourished in medieval Europe, particularly in France. Condemned as heretics by the Catholic Church, the Cathars revived old Gnostic concepts that radically overturned traditional Christian thinking. They believed, for example, that the God of the New Testament and the God of the Old Testament were separate entities – the latter sinful, and the former good. Such ideas led to a crusade against the Cathars, and their wholesale slaughter.
A major Cathar stronghold was Montségur, a remote fortress in southwestern France. This became the site of a dramatic confrontation between the Cathars and French royal forces in 1243. Thousands of French troops besieged the fortress for nine long and gruelling months before the people inside eventually surrendered. Hundreds of Cathars were burnt alive in a bonfire after refusing to renounce their blasphemous beliefs. However, it’s believed that a number of Cathars managed to smuggle themselves out of the fortress, undetected, before their brethren surrendered.
It’s been speculated that these survivors of the siege took some kind of treasure with them. Gold, perhaps. Or maybe even the Holy Grail itself, brought back to Europe from the Holy Land, by the Templars or other Crusaders. Otto Rahn, prompted by previous occultists and mystics, identified Montségur with the ‘Montsalvat’ Grail castle of Parzival. His ideas appealed greatly to Himmler, and Rahn eventually joined the SS himself.
The extent of Rahn’s own Nazi beliefs have been a subject of debate. He himself apparently said, ‘A man has to eat. What was I supposed to do? Turn Himmler down?’ But having such powerful patronage certainly spurred him on to publish more about the Grail, with the SS brazenly inserting anti-Semitic passages into his romantic, mystical prose. Rahn eventually resigned from the SS and died of exposure on a mountain in 1939 – allegedly suicide, though the details have never been confirmed.
Colourful theories regarding the Cathars, the Grail and the potential involvement of Crusader warriors have persisted in the decades after the fall of the Third Reich. Most famously, in The Holy Blood and the Holy Grail, which theorised that the Cathars knew the secret of the Holy Grail – namely, that it was the bloodline of Christ, from the marriage of Jesus and Mary Magdalene. This concept fuelled the plot of Dan Brown’s bestseller The Da Vinci Code, which also portrays the Templars as guardians of this earth-shaking secret.
Carl Cookson and Hamilton White may not have a fabled holy relic in their hoard, but their quest may well bring new insights into the Templars and their religious treasure hunts in the Holy Land, which has fascinated everyone from eccentric occultists to high-ranking Nazis to serious historians today.
Also interesting, Google Earth’s historical satellite pictures have shown that the monolith has been there since 2016. The monolith was in effect patiently waiting for years to be discovered at the “right time”.
Some people have already gone to the site using the coordinates yesterday and are apparently disappointed to discover that it looks more man-made than alien, as if that was the only issue.
As reader Atom commented:
What is really remarkable is the amount of attention it is getting and how it is intentionally or unintentionally pushing/triggering the ET theme into the public’s mind. I think we’ve never had anything like this ET-related in the MSM ever before. That’s quite something.
Here on Super Torch Ritual we are a bit different than most out there as we avoid focusing on the literal/surface level of anomalies and events. So while it’s nice to get these new details, they are not something that affects our multicontextual decoding, interpretations and projections. The Utah Monolith whispering…

UPDATE – November 29
The Utah Monolith is gone! It’s not there anymore. ???????? Disappeared on the evening of November 27th.
Ritual de Tránsito 2012 Venus, Enterprise y la Puerta del Dragón
Por Goro (goroadachi.com y supertorchritual.com) 25 de mayo de 2012
Del 4 al 6 de junio de 2012 , probablemente veremos al miembro más antiguo de la flota de transbordadores espaciales, el Enterprise , siendo remolcado río Hudson hasta su lugar de descanso final, el Museo Intrepid del Mar, el Aire y el Espacio, en el West Side de Manhattan . [Actualización: Fechas cambiadas al 3-6 de junio ]. La mayoría lo desconoce por completo, pero será un reflejo terrestre del Tránsito de Venus que tendrá lugar simultáneamente en el cielo los días 5 y 6 de junio. Todo cuidadosamente organizado para crear un ejemplo exquisito de "como es arriba, es abajo"...
Cuando esto ocurra, el Enterprise entrará en el río Hudson por su desembocadura en el extremo sur de Manhattan, donde podremos visualizar una "puerta" flanqueada por la Estatua de la Libertad y el World Trade Center , donde antiguamente se alzaban las Torres Gemelas . La disposición refleja nítidamente la puerta celestial alrededor del Anticentro Galáctico , flanqueada por las constelaciones de Orión y Géminis . La Vía Láctea es un río (celestial) como el Hudson ; Orión es un " portador de antorcha " (el Sol del solsticio de verano = antorcha de Orión) como la Estatua de la Libertad ; y Géminis son los " Gemelos ", como las Torres Gemelas .
El Sol arriba, la Enterprise abajo. A través de una puerta galáctica arriba, a través de una puerta Hudson abajo. Es un espejo que une el cielo y la tierra.
Para retroceder un poco en el tiempo, el "ritual" comenzó el 27 de abril cuando Enterprise voló hacia la Gran Manzana montado sobre un Boeing 747 precisamente cuando Venus alcanzó su " mayor brillo " como Estrella Vespertina. La coincidencia implicaba una conciencia subyacente del próximo Tránsito de Venus, que será el momento de menor brillo cuando Venus se convierta en un punto negro en la cara del Sol (5 y 6 de junio) sin luz solar reflejada hacia la Tierra.
Como muestra el gráfico, Venus se está atenuando cada vez más, lo que continuará hasta principios de junio. Tras el tránsito, Venus renacerá como el
ACTUALIZACIÓN 27 de mayo: El pico en el otro lado, a mediados de julio, coincidirá aproximadamente con el debut del Enterprise en el museo Intrepid como exhibición oficial, completando su correlación con la línea de tiempo de Venus:
----- fin de actualización -----
Como saben los lectores habituales, cuando hablamos de Venus, y en particular de la Estrella de la Mañana, también nos referimos automáticamente al Príncipe Guillermo y/o a la trinidad William-Kate-bebé. Ambos van de la mano, profundamente entrelazados, como ya se ha explicado en numerosas ocasiones. Por lo tanto, no sorprende que la cronología más reciente de Venus coincida perfectamente con la de la Familia Real Británica: el 29 de abril (máximo brillo de Venus) marcó el primer aniversario de la Boda Real; del 3 al 7 de junio (tránsito de Venus/Enterprise) se celebra el cumpleaños oficial de la Reina (4 de junio) y el Jubileo de Diamante ( 4-7, 3-5 de junio); el solsticio de verano (antorcha de Orión) coincide con el cumpleaños del Príncipe Guillermo; y a finales de julio (bajo una Estrella de la Mañana/portadora de luz muy brillante), la Antorcha Olímpica llega a Londres para los Juegos Olímpicos de 2012.
En términos de la órbita de la Tierra alrededor del Sol, el 27 de abril (la llegada del Enterprise a la Gran Manzana ) fue una ventana con el ápice de un pentagrama (núcleo de la manzana)...
El pentagrama es una firma geométrica de Venus, lo que tiene mucho sentido en el contexto actual.
Y la manzana tiene el efecto adicional de recordar a la Familia Real Británica a través del Rey Arturo , cuyo Santo Grial ( San Greal ) o "Sangre Real" ( Sang Real ) es de vital importancia para la realeza en Gran Bretaña. El linaje jacobita del Príncipe Guillermo y su futuro hijo tiene mucho que ver con el tema subyacente de este período, es decir, el "Regreso/Renacimiento del Rey Arturo", intercambiable con la "Resurrección de Lucifer/Fénix" , etc. (Consulte mi artículo " El Destino de Lucifer " para más información sobre el tema). Si el Rey Arturo ha de "regresar", sería desde Ávalon , donde se cree que el antiguo y futuro Rey hiberna. Resulta que el nombre "Ávalon" significa " manzana ".
También cabe destacar que la corte del Rey Arturo se llamaba Camelot , apodo popular de la administración de John F. Kennedy . El 27 de abril , el Enterprise aterrizó en el Aeropuerto Internacional JFK de Nueva York .
