Checking In on Old Friends<\/p>\n

As long-time readers of this blog know, there are a few crackpots who I’ve written about multiple
\ntimes. Those nutters have their fans, and people seem to want to hear about what they’re up to. So today, I’ll give you a brief look at what’s going on with the three fan favorites: Gary Osborn (he of the
\n23.5 degree angle), the Lords Witnesses (the folks who keep making failed predictions about when the UN will get bombed), and of course, George Shollenberger (supposed God-prover and all-around genius). We’ll start with Gary, and then talk about the Witnesses and old Georgie in later posts.<\/p>\n

So what’s Gary up to? In case you weren’t around, Gary is someone who I wrote about back when this
\nblog was on Blogger<\/a>, and who got into a rather long debate in my comments, and then later took the debate back to his own website<\/a>, which (naturally) doesn’t allow comments. <\/p>\n

Gary has an…. interesting… theory that the angle 23.5 degrees has great mystical meaning, and
\nthat this meaning has been passed down through generations of artists, who have been planting
\nfeatures in paintings that feature the magic 23.5 degree angle. Gary’s definition of a painting
\ncontaining a 23.5 degree angle is, pretty much, “It looks like a 23.5 degree angle to me”. If he can find a way of making the angle precise, then the precision of it is critically<\/em> important; if it’s off by a degree or two, well, it’s a painting, these things aren’t perfect<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Gary is still on his 23.5 degree kick, which is as silly as it ever was. But more interestingly (interesting in the sense of insane<\/em>), he claims<\/em> to have received a series of
\nsecret mails<\/a> from some unknown person deeply connected into the secret societies that Gary thinks
\nrun the world… He claims to think that these letters are very strong proof for his various
\nnutty theories. To give you a taste, here’s the first of them:<\/p>\n

Dear Mr. Gardiner,<\/p>\n

Allow us to email you. We’ve been expecting your book for over 19 years know, although we must admit we only knew that it was to be launched during the reign of Pope Benedict. (There is no such thing as a free will\/ (Du wirst gethan) Nietzsche.)<\/p>\n

Let us just help you a little bit more. With a latin text. Composed in the year 1170 AD.<\/p>\n

urbs transrhenana anno DCCXI. pupulus nudus silentio noctis conflagrat. hic incipit labor solis. gloriam olivae expectamus.<\/p>\n

And remind you of the two last Latin verses in the list of Maleachi (the Popes). de labore solis followed by gloria olivae. Followed, naturally, because a shining Tree of Life (spine and brain), the olive tree, is the product of ‘the work of the sun’, as you will know. Trees well hidden for the moment of course.<\/p>\n

It is very important that you realize that the Popes are not involved in this. They are only the vehicles in this ‘story’.<\/p>\n

Now, you will also want to stick to these 16 words in this and no other order: beheading, stone, stone (producing) kundalini, racing to the centre of the earth, and coming back again. The stone, although it’s hard to believe, being a real stone, though not a stone like we know it. (Alchemists are not those who write about alchemy, but only those, who produce the stone in their body, which ignites the Kundalini fire).<\/p>\n

Now, you will say to yourself: many people claim to have had this kundalini-fire. But you see, they didn’t. They were after power, money, followers, whatever. People who produce the stone, and through that stone the fire of resurrection, will never go public.<\/p>\n

And this is very important too: if you produce that stone and were consumed and reproduced through that fire, you will achieve individual and physical immortality, and nothing less. Something for the End of Time therefore. Who ever died was not an alchemist and did not produce the stone.<\/p>\n

By the way, your man is a gay man. Born on the 17th of January. In possession of that very special balance in microcosmic male and female forces. A balance never possessed by heterosexual men. And your stone is Christ (He who is near me is near the fire, and he who is near the fire is near the Kingdom). Also: 1 Peter 2:4.<\/p>\n

You are going to be just in time now to produce your next and last book on the grail.<\/p>\n

Goodbye.<\/p>\n

P.S. That gay man, born on the 17th of January, is not the one who wrote this email. He is the one though who allowed us to write it. This email was sent to you from a country in Europe, not being the country your man of the 17th of January is living.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

The “forbidden letters” leave me asking a few questions.<\/p>\n
