AUTHOR’S NOTE: This is the 3rd (and longest) of a 4-part series written mostly in 2023 during the months and weeks leading up to the December 15 release of Farnaby & King’s Wonka, starring Timothée ‘Prince’ Hal Chalamet.
“Somebody hurt my soul, now
(Who is it?)
It is friend of mine
(Who is it?)”
We started this series by observing that Elon Musk was born on the day Willy Wonka & the Chocolate Factory premiered. In short that led to the 4-way Wonka-sync-cyclone covered in part 2, and its still missing centerpiece. We will get to the bottom of that arrangement today, but not right away, because first there are a number of necessary detours to take, starting with an essential zoom in on one aspect of Elon Musk’s life in particular: his 19th birthday.
By way of what for lack of a better term Crypto-K calls The Rule of 19, it seems to so happen that synchronistic energy builds and releases in accordance with 19 year time-cycles. This is not the first time something like this has been pointed out, as the Metonic Cycle has been known for thousands of years to students of the calendrical arts (it has particular significance for the Hebrew mystics), but Crypto-K applies this knowledge in a unique way. For example, as has been previously mentioned once or twice in this series, noticing that Harry S Truman signed the National Security Act (birthing the CIA and others on paper) on Stanley Kubrick’s 19th birthday (along with plenty else). So, maybe we can learn something by applying this logic to other persons, particularly the people under the microscope of this particular study. Elon Musk, for example.
Did anything of note happen on Elon Musk’s 19th birthday?
To start, in keeping with the rock star trope that continues to unavoidably present itself, 6/28/1990, the day Elon Musk (and Willy Wonka) completed 1 Metonic Cycle saw the death of a rock star named Rob Graves, aka Rob Ritter, known for his work in the punk rock scene with bands like The Gun Club. He died of a heroin overdose on the day Elon Musk turned 19. Graves’ death had a major impact on the rock and roll community. Courtney Love even dedicated her band Hole’s debut album Pretty On the Inside to Rob Graves—that album would be released on 9/17/1991, or 42 weeks + 153 days after his death. Rob Graves—is that a name, or an occupation?
More seriously though, given what we know from books like John Potash’s Drugs as Weapons Against Us about the proliferation of heroin through the alt-rock community in the 80s and 90s, and Ms. Love’s suspicious role in the similarly heroin-related death of her husband Kurt Cobain, it’s not a stretch to view Graves’ death with as much suspicion as Cobain’s—especially now considering the timing of it. His name also reminds us of Robert Graves, the English poet whose book The White Goddess presents (not unlike Crypto-K) the idea of a “historical grammar”—that the “language of poetic myth… was a magical language bound up with popular religious ceremonies in honour of the Moon-goddess, or Muse.” In other words an inextricable binding together of art and ritual, and a European Goddess cult lineage that may continue to this day.
But aside from Mr. Graves, when specifically searching for this date—6/28/1990—the top result comes up loudly and immediately, as a link to the page titled “Murder of Robbie Middleton.” Another Robert. Who was Robbie Middleton? It’s a horrible story that we will simply reproduce from the Wikipedia entry:
Robbie Middleton (June 28, 1990 – April 29, 2011) was an American boy from Splendora, Texas who on his eighth birthday in 1998 was tied to a tree, doused in gasoline, and set on fire. He suffered third-degree burns to 99% of his body and endured 150 operations, before dying at age 20 from a skin cancer that doctors attributed to his original injuries.
Just prior to his death, Robbie, the son of Bobby and Colleen Middleton, left a 27-minute video testimony on his deathbed naming the perpetrator who he believed had torched him as Don Wilburn Collins (born 1985), at the time a 13-year-old neighbor of the Middletons. Collins had allegedly raped Middleton in the same location of the torching just two weeks earlier and Collins's attempt to murder Middleton was to ensure that Middleton would never reveal the secret. Though Collins was detained in connection with the assault, he was later released because of insufficient evidence.
So there you go—what the fuck, right? The key phrase being “third-degree burns to 99% of his body.” We will spare you the imagery, the before and the after. Suffice to say it’s not pretty. Note Robbie’s birthday as the reason we are here—6/28/1990. Poor Robbie Middleton had the apparent misfortune to be born on the day Elon Musk (and Willy Wonka & the Chocolate Factory) turned 19. It’s terrible to think, but what happened to Robbie Middleton, born on Musk/Wonka’s 19th birthday, could have been dreamt up as a fate for one of the failed applicant children by a twisted horror-movie version of Willy Wonka! But wait, what was the perp’s name again? Don Wilburn Collins - Wilburn - “will burn?” Come on!
What’s more, the horrific burning to which Robbie was subjected occurred on his 8th birthday, which would make that the day Elon Musk and Willy Wonka turned 27, the age at which a certain rock star curse begins (27 is 3^3, or 9+9+9—as well as the number that begins the sequence of 42-additions that generate 153 and 237). Now note the incidental length of Robbie’s video testimony: 27 minutes. Note also the year the burning occurred, 1998, exactly 666 + 666 + 666 (or 999 + 999) years after the birth of Christ.
That’s all fascinating, but there’s another major crink in the waffle to mention here, and it’s one that drives this so-called ‘sync’ all the way up the chain towards spectacular and kind of scary, all at once. Maybe you already noticed it?
Robbie Middleton was burned on his 8th birthday, but he did not die. He lived on beyond turning 8, enduring endless surgeries on his traumatized body. He ultimately died of skin cancer relating to his burns on 4/29/2011, which was 19 days before he would have turned 1090 weeks old (remember, he was born on the day Musk turned 19). But that’s not all it was.
The day Robbie Middleton died—4/29/2011—was the day Kate Middleton married Prince William to become Catherine, Princess of Wales!
So Robbie Middleton literally died on the day of a Royal (Alchemical) Wedding: the marriage of a man who will theoretically one day be King of England to a woman with the same last name as him (Kate Middleton). In other words on 4/29/2011, on one side of the globe (and everywhere on TV), pomp and circumstance and splendor were abound as the Royal Wedding proceeded with Kate Middleton marrying into the most powerful family on the planet, while many thousands of miles away in Splendora, Texas, the long suffering of a man named Robbie Middleton (born on Elon Musk and Willy Wonka’s 19th birthday) quietly ended.
What are we to make of this?
One item to note is that date, 4/29: it transposes to 429, which is the difference between 666 and 237. Make of that what you will. There’s also the fact that 4/29/2011 was exactly 19 years after the Rodney King verdict came down, sparking the LA riots.
But then there is the matter of Mr. Middleton’s first name: Robbie. It rings out to us here at the end of 2023 for a couple of reasons, the first one being that 2023 was in many ways the year of Margot Robbie. Her presence defined the Summer of ’23 from the synchronistic perspective with her role (in front of and behind the camera) in the Barbie/Oppenheimer double-feature—fresh off her role as the Scarlet Woman of Babylon in 2022 (directed by Damien Chazelle), but all of this was accompanied later in the Summer by the death of musician and overall rock star Robbie Robertson of The Band. In fact, Robbie Robertson died on 8/9/2023, which followed the simultaneous release of Barbie and Oppenheimer by 19 days. If you make that a parent-thesis and slide backward from the Barbenheimer release by 19 days, you land on 2023/07/02, which was the day Margot Robbie herself turned 33—it was also the day Barbie premiered in Seoul, South Korea (SK). And like a maraschino cherry on top of Barbie’s tiki-drink, the name ‘Robbie’ itself equates to 33 by standard reduction English gematria.
Here’s where we tie it back around, because Margot Robbie’s 33rd birthday on 7/2/2023 means that she was born on 7/2/1990, only 4 days after Robbie Middleton was born and Musk and Willy Wonka turned 19. This means that Margot Robbie herself turned 19 just 4 days after Robbie Middleton did (and 4 days after Elon Musk turned 19 again).
Maybe that wouldn’t be that interesting, but for the following fact: when you look at the time between Margot Robbie’s 19th birthday and the day Kate Middleton married Prince William and Robbie Middleton died, you find that to be exactly 666 days! The good old fashioned Number of the Beast in clear view, and who rides the beast, of course, but the Scarlet Woman of Babylon (directed by Damien Chazelle)?
So the Royal Wedding of the future King of England to Kate Middleton and the death of the similarly named Robbie Middleton both occurred 666 days after Margot Robbie turned 19—the Beast-riding ‘Scarlet Woman’ of Babylon, and ‘Barbie’ of Barbie, the ‘bombshell,’ released together in 2023 with Oppenheimer, a story about the creation of the atom bomb—666 days after she turned 19. Is that not Weird? It feels like Evidence, but of What?
Quick question: what is all this witch-fuckery? And could there possibly be even more of it to discuss? If you want to know the answer to that question, go ahead and read on.
Maybe you still have in mind that 8-way mid-point in the middle of the Wonka-Matrix we left on the table at the end of part 2. We are getting back there soon (promise), after just after a few more turns of the screw regarding the spooky Crypto-K underlying the life of the current subject of our microscope, the Willy Wonka of our time, love him or hate him, Planet Earth’s current resident Wizard of Oz, Elon Musk.
“The suspense is terrible… I hope it will last.”
It concerns Musk and it concerns yet another death that occurred during the Summer of ’23. On the last day of July, actor Angus Cloud, known for his role on the HBO series Euphoria, was found dead at his house in Oakland, California from a cocktail of various drugs, 10 days before Robbie Robertson’s death and 9 days after Elon Musk launched X on 2023/7/23.
Given that he died on the final day of the 7th month of 2023, it follows that he died when the millennium and the century were exactly 23 years, 7 months old.
That’s certainly something, but what propels the death of Cloud unavoidably into the purview of this discussion is the day he was born: 7/10/1998, which you might already notice is not long at all after the burning of Robbie Middleton on his 8th/Musk’s 27th birthday—in fact it was 12 or 2+3+7 days after Middleton was burned and Musk turned 27 that Angus Cloud was born. But the real thing of it happens when you look at Musk’s exact age on that day. You might already have put it together in your head that it’s 27 years plus 12 days, but did you know that this is equal to exactly 237000 hours? That’s 237 with three zeroes.
So Elon Musk was 237000 hours old on the day Angus Cloud was born, who would go on to die ‘accidentally’ exactly 23 years, 7 months into the millennium.
Curiosity killed the cat, but it also forced us to check: if Cloud died that long into the millennium, how long before the millennium was he born? The answer is 1 day off of exactly 77 weeks. In other words AC was born 77 weeks before the last day of the old millennium, and died 23 years, 7 months into the new millennium—though surely he didn’t intend to do any of this, just as none of us intend to be born when we are and die when we do.
But there is more to 7/10/1998 than only Angus Cloud. There was another birthday that day, this one the 52nd of Sue Lyon, star of Stanley Kubrick’s Lolita, notable if for no other reason than that 52 was also the age of Elon Musk when Cloud died. Specifically Cloud died 33 days after Musk turned 52, while he was born on the very day ‘Lolita’ Sue Lyon turned 52. Why 52? There are 52 cards in a standard deck as there are 52 weeks in the year—a Week contains 7 days as 52 reduces to 7. There are also 52 white keys on the 88-key piano, a fact which reminds us of one striking anagram of the name Stanley Kubrick—I Turn Black Keys. There are 36 black keys (evoking 666) and 52 white keys. But again, why 52? Maybe it’s because 52 = 19 + 33, which happen to be the same two birthdays of Margot Robbie we were looking at earlier.
There are certainly parallels to be drawn between the character Lolita (especially as presented in Kubrick’s film) and Sue Lyon herself to Margot Robbie and her roles in The Wolf of Wall Street, Babylon, and Barbie, among others, but there’s also the fact that Sue Lyon’s birth on 7/10/1946 came only 5 days after the debut of the bikini, making for a perfect parent-thesis:
Since the bikini swimwear was named after the Bikini Atoll atomic tests, which first began just 4 days before the bikini first debuted… that’s, yes, that means the birth of Margot Robbie 4 days after Musk/Wonka’s 19th birthday mirrors the 4 days between the first atomic test on Bikini Atoll and the debut of the ‘bikini’ swimwear. If you’re with us still at this point, you hopefully find that parallel just as interesting as we do.
One other contribution from 7/10/1998—a search of film release dates for the day turns up one in particular as having premiered: Pi, directed by Darren Aronofsky, which presents a story about an obsessive young Kabbalist who believes he has found a secret numerological code that forms the basis of all reality. Of course, that doesn’t sound familiar at all, does it? Pi is an intense work worthy of a full-scale deep-dive, but right now we’re on a train passing it by at night. Maybe we’ll get back there one day.
So, Elon Musk (and Willy Wonka) became 237000 hours old on the day Pi premiered, which was also the day Angus Cloud was born, Sue Lyon turned 52 (7), and 77 weeks before the final day of the millennium. Then years later Cloud died 33 days after Musk (and Wonka) turned 52, which made for a lifespan limited to 4 digits: 9153 days.
This puts the exact mid-point of Angus Cloud’s life at 1/19/2011. Because we happen to know the mid-point of Aleister Crowley’s life to be 11/6/1911, this gives the two men something in common other than just the initials AC: read 1/19/11 vs 11/6/11 - notice anything about these two dates typographically? They are exact 180° opposites of one another. Suddenly 911 is on the board again, staring us in the face, forwards and backwards, upwards and down. But there couldn’t be any kind of connection between 911, 93, and Aleister Crowley, right? Again a subject for another time.
A search for Cloud’s mid-life day yields among other things the NASA website’s Astronomy Picture of the Day, titled “Saturn Storm,” which we are told was photographed by the Cassini probe on Christmas Eve of 2010. So here on the mid-point of the life of Angus Cloud we are given by NASA a picture of a Stormcloud on Saturn. This story is not all that dissimilar to the Wesley Impact on Jupiter discussed in part 2. Though here it is a storm on Saturn and not an asteroid strike on Jupiter, they are both anomalies presenting on the surfaces of our local archons via the media produced by NASA (not unlike what is currently in the news pre-Wonka release in early December regarding a massive sunspot).
There is a NASA APOD for pretty much every day going back to the early days of the Internet. Sometimes it has synchronistic significance, but not usually to this degree—Saturn is the 7th classical planet, representative of TIME and the limitations of matter—ie, death, which seems to be a recurring theme through this whole part 3 so far—Rob Graves, Rob Middleton, Angus Cloud—all caught by the Saturnine spider. It just so happens that the standard English gematria value of the word Saturn is 93, the favorite number of Aleister Crowley’s Thelemic cult (it’s also 23 + 70).
Here’s the thing, though: Angus Cloud’s only real acting job was on Euphoria, and what does ‘Euphoria’ equate to in standard gematria? Also 93! Remarkably, the two words are also equal in the Reverse Reduction cipher, where their value is 42. All this should provide a little more justification for the picture of Saturn’s storm released on the exact mid-point of Cloud’s life to be considered a legitimate synchronicity (whatever that may be) and not merely a flight of associative fancy.
When AC’s death hit the news, people couldn’t help but compare it to a similar occurrence years before. Mac Miller was a successful rapper and producer who died of an overdose on 9/7/2018. This was a powerful day for MM to exit because it was exactly 999 weeks after the release of Eyes Wide Shut (or the day JFK Jr died). Since it’s also true that Eyes Wide Shut released exactly 999 weeks after The Shining premiered, it can be said that Miller died exactly 1998 or 666 + 666 + 666 weeks after The Shining premiered (mirroring the year in which Robbie Middleton was burned on the day Elon Musk turned 27), with Eyes Wide Shut at the mid-point.
So imagine our interest when one of the more paranoid sects of Youtube-commenters became convinced that both Angus Cloud and Mac Miller were examples of those ‘lifetime actors’ mentioned before—actually patsies under mind-control and sophisticated rubber masks playing characters that are made famous and then ‘killed' off’ according to the whims of some super-secret society’s fetish for numerology and theatrics—based mostly on the fact that the two men both looked somewhat alike. This seems at best delusional (though far be it from us to make that judgment), perhaps a way of coping with the often bewildering synchronicities that multiply like mushrooms around us when the right amounts of perceptual pressure are applied to the right media meridians. A more appealingly deranged fantasy might be that it was not these men’s lives but their deaths that were faked—that they had reached a level of the “Fame Monster” where they could buy their Golden Ticket to Willy Wonka’s Wonderland—actually some techno-dystopic VR ‘paradise’ for the super-rich in “Space”—which is actually Underground!!) and instead of living up their fame for a while they chose to make an early exit of it. In other words, perhaps this funny business with the timings actually relates to the mechanics of an exit-strategy.
But no, all it takes is to watch a few interviews (and maybe the video for Miller’s song “Best Day Ever”) to “snap back to reality” and see that they were both real guys with real problems who most likely died (or were killed off) for real… but of course, definitely still according to the whims of some super-secret society’s fetish for numerology and timing!
Mac Miller found success by being a prolific and talented rapper (it would seem). Oddly enough his first song on the Billboard Hot 100 was called “Donald Trump,” invoking the Donald long before he ever ran for President. The mixtape this song first appeared on was called Best Day Ever, maybe the most unfortunate name for a record ever considering that it was released on 3/11/2011, the day of the Fukushima Reactor Meltdown and Tsunami—but at this point it doesn’t feel like an accident anymore. It’s right up there with Jay-Z’s album The Blueprint releasing on 9/11/2001. Miller’s age on 3/11/2011? One day off of exactly 999 weeks—aka, the same length of time after Eyes Wide Shut that Miller died! Isn’t that even more something?
On the other hand, success found Angus Cloud: he was working as a Waiter when he was approached on the street by the casting director for Euphoria—but coincidentally, he had attended the same Oakland high school as Zendaya, the show’s biggest star (though he was approached for the show while living on the opposite side of the country). One phrase comes to mind when watching Angus Cloud’s red carpet interviews: fish out of water. It would seem that the show’s producers succeeded a little too well in their quest to find an authentic person to play the role of ‘Fezco.’ The influx of money and fame no doubt contributed to his drug use and death—perfectly timed as it was anyway, 23 years, 7 months into the millennium. It would seem apparent that both AC and MM were swallowed up and digested by a system that actually feeds off of their deaths (and others like them), a system for which death is the lynchpin, the central object of worship. Build up a character into “fame” (living in the minds of the masses) and then kill them, and reap the rewards.
But this subtle connection between AC and MM can be hardened by examining the facts of their lifespans, and how they relate according to Crypto-K and the so-called Five Seals, or in this case, the ‘Ruler,’ 19.
Because here it is, the dazzling fact that no Youtube commenter has ever noticed: Malcolm Miller’s birth on 1/19/1992 means that the mid-point of Angus Cloud’s life we just discussed—1/19/2011—was exactly the day Mac Miller turned 19.
How’s that for the Rule of 19? Here’s another example of two people who embody a similar trope in the mediascape, cleanly soldered to one another through Time and Crypto-K.
To talk about initials again, first we had AC shared by Aleister Crowley and Angus Cloud—or for that matter, Asteroid City, another Summer 2023 movie which premiered at Cannes 69 days before Cloud died, and features a Stanley Kubrick-lookalike as its main protagonist, a grieving Widower and War photographer in a cartoon-like world, snapping pictures of incidental atomic explosions and alien invasions (another possible deep-dive). But with Mac Miller we have MM, a letter-pair often cited for its popularity with secret-society types, but which surfaces in pop culture on a regular basis. MM can stand for Master Mason, but in Roman Numerals it signifies the number (or the year) 2000, aka Year Zero of the New Millennium. That makes Year One 2001, the year pinpointed by Kubrick’s opus 33 years in advance of the events of 9/11/2001. Then you’ve got the chocolate candy M&Ms—here be Willy Wonka’s domain, a subject we’ll return to soon enough.
There’s also the now-legendary rapper Eminem, whose real name is Marshall Mathers (wow, that makes two successful white rappers under discussion here with the initials MM), but whose stage name in logo-form—EMIN3M—actually encodes all 4 ‘rotations:’ M/3/W/E. Wait, you ask, where’s the W? Slide the bottom of the I over to join the bottom of the N. And anyway, I + N = W because 9 + 14 = 23.
Eminem broke into the mainstream in 1999 with his alter-ego Slim Shady, introduced to the world with “My Name Is,” the single for which released 42 days before Stanley Kubrick died. Eminem would release his own magnum opus in the year MM—20 years after The Shining premiered—on 5/23/2000: The Marshall Mathers LP. Funnily enough this album contains a song called “Stan,” which became a hit and embedded itself into the culture so deeply that now 23 years later you can find “stan” in the dictionary as a word meaning “a crazed or obsessed fan.” To stan, or not to stan? That is now the question!
Considering that, it’s funny/weird/bizarre (take your pick of adjective) to find that Eminem actually first emerged from his Mom’s Womb exactly 237 weeks after the 4/2/1968 world premiere of ‘Stan’ Kubrick’s film 2001: A Space Odyssey!
To cement this association further, a few seconds with a gematria calculator reveals that the name ‘Marshall Mathers’ itself equals 237 in Reverse Ordinal gematria (and in Reverse Reduced, 93)—and for his part, ‘Angus Cloud’ = 153!
Mac Miller’s name doesn’t produce a similar result, but his biography notes he sometimes used the pseudonym Larry Fisherman, and in standard gematria Larry = 74 (2 x 37) while Fisherman = 93 (23 + 70). The name Fisherman evokes Christ and the Second Seal (of Crypto-K) 153 by way of the ‘Miraculous Catch of 153 Fish” from John 21:11, or in the phrase “I will make you fishers of men” from Matthew 4:19 (one verse before Matthew 4:20.
Mac Miller’s pseudonym Larry Fisherman also recalls something once written by that great chronicler of the Strange, Charles Fort, in The Book of the Damned: “I think that we’re fished for,” a quote later employed by the 20th century author William Gaddis who salted his debut novel The Recognitions with references to it: “Charles Fort says maybe we’re fished for, by supercelestial beings…” (88).
—Yes, yes, that’s it. That’s it! Flesh, remember? flesh, how thou art fishified. He’d jumped to his feet.
—Listen, do you understand? We’re fished for! On this rock, remember? and I shall make thee a fisher of men? (375)
Here is yet another synchromystical interpretation of Death—so MM’s pseudonym feels like a wry joke on the concept, considering now his own early death. One of the characters in The Recognitions (set partly in the bohemian streets of New York City in the 1940s) happens to be a slovenly-dressed composer named Stanley, and though he is not the main character (in a cast of hundreds), it is Stanley’s fate that takes up the novel’s final pages. Traveling to an obscure old church in the countryside of Spain to play his magnum opus on the pipe organ there, he fails to heed the Priest’s warning (said in a foreign tongue) to not play notes above a certain pitch—he begins to play fully to his heart’s content, and the entire church collapses in on top of him. We are as free-thinking individuals allowed to associate the imagery here (the collapse of an important religious structure marking the end of a great cycle or story and the accompanying death of a guy named Stanley) with the events of the millennial turnover in 1999-2001.
For the William Gaddis (WG/23-7) who authored this story and borrowed this quote for his book was born on 12/29/1922, the day after the birth of Marvel’s Stan Lee on 12/28. Stanley Kubrick would be born 2037 days after both WG and Stan Lee—all 3 of them were born and grew up in New York City. Did William Gaddis ever encounter a 2037-days-younger Stanley Kubrick in NYC during those post-war years when both were around and about, then base a character in his novel on him? There’s no real evidence that we know of to suggest it, but Crypto-K makes it seem a little bit more than impossible. And if not, and it’s truly a coincidence (a concept in which Charles Fort did not believe), then that means there’s something else at work here, and it might be even more interesting.
Before that side-note, we were looking at the rap-star Mac Miller, specifically the occult meanings of those initials, MM. If you rotate MM one-quarter turn clockwise, you’ll find you’re looking at a vertically-stacked 33, also a favorite number of most ‘illuminated’ secret-societies (or so it seems). But if you flip it all the way around, that is if you turn the whole thing 60°, then another 60°, then another 60°, you’ll find you are now looking at a different set of initials altogether: WW. And we know what those stand for don’t we? The subject we left behind what seems like such a long time ago. We will now return and finish it up, or at least, we’ll give finishing it up our best shot.
Order is the barrier that holds back the flood of death.
Yeah, so what did happen on that day at the Center of the Wonka Quadrangle, the day which is currently a huge question mark in the middle of an 8-way Crypto-K equation?
Not much good, it turns out. Hence the subtitle of part 3—”Four Wonkas and a Funeral.”
The day here behind the question mark is 7/3/1988, with day-before/day-after either 7/2 or 7/4/1988: in other words we’re looking at Independence Day Weekend 1988.
There are 3 stories to be told about events that transpired during this time window, and much like what we found on Elon Musk and Willy Wonka’s 19th birthday, all 3 involve rather horrific death and injury to the parties involved. One is a case of multiple murder, another an accident that killed multiples, and another could be considered a mass-death numbering in the hundreds. One is a case of bonafide ritual murder (or so we are told).
You might be surprised that this is what lies at the heart of a Crypto-Matrix spun out of a family classic like Willy Wonka & the Chocolate Factory, but, um, have you seen that movie lately? Willy Wonka is a psycho! He abducted and enslaved an entire race of indigenous people, and now he’s grooming a young boy and his family into his creepy candy cult! At least that’s one way of reading it. The opening scene of Willy Wonka sets the tone with Aubrey Woods’ creepy performance of the song “The Candy Man,” which begins with him waving his phallic “scrumdiddlyumptious bar” around in front of a crowd of unsupervised children. You know who The Candyman is, don’t you? The guy who makes the world taste good? The one who separates the sorrow and collects up all the cream? Maybe it’s simply your local neighborhood Coke dealer, transmuted by globally distributive alchemy into the Coca-Cola Corporation (or their controlled opposition Pepsi-Co). But here’s another clue: outside of the film, “The Candy Man” became a #1 hit on the charts as sung by, who? Sammy Davis Jr, your Grandma’s favorite African-American entertainer—and a known Satanist.
Suddenly this whole Wonka-Matrix begins to feel a little threatening. And it’s not about to get any better. But it’s what we fear that the forthcoming Wonka with Timothée Chalamet will miss entirely about the character. If Wonka is really the heart-on-its-sleeve, candy-is-dandy, sackless daydream it appears to be from the trailers, well, then the filmmakers have completely missed the point, one that even Tim Burton understood, the fundamental fact that Willy Wonka is not a good guy! He’s not necessarily a bad guy either, but he’s definitely not good. Bong Joon Ho seemed to understand the original film the best, or at least the moral of what happens to a society when it becomes organized around pure desire in a world with rapidly dwindling resources. Ah well, that’s just the state of Tinseltown these days. More on Wonka another time, though. We have a mid-point to solve.
Given that it’s 1776 weeks between the two Wonka films, and 1776 = 888 + 888, the mid-point between them landing on 7/4/88 also feels oddly on the nose, doesn’t it? Thanks to Back to the Future ‘88’ is connected to time-travel—interesting in light of the fact that the USA’s inception date, 7/4/1776 has its temporal corollary in the fact that (2 x 37) or 74 days = 1776 hours (and since the same ratios apply to cinema as well, 74 seconds of film = 1776 frames). Were the Founding Fathers intentionally encoding important temporal secrets into the date-line of the birthday of their New Atlantis? You betcha.
Another way of putting a headline on it would be this: the central mid-point of the Wonka-Matrix is the USA’s 212th birthday. What relevance does 212 have? For one thing it’s 2012 minus the Zero. What was 2012, other than the last year of the 13th Mayan baktun? Well, it was 237 years since 1775, the year the Revolutionary War began. Thought about differently, 212 years = 2544 months. Subtract 237 from 2544 and you get 2307. So the USA had been ‘alive’ for 237 + 2307 months at the mid-point of this Wonka-Matrix.
OK, so get on with it! As was said, there are 3 death-events here at the center of this cyclone. We will start with the lowest casualty event and then move up to the highest…
7/4/1988: the Murders of Sally McNelly and Shane Stewart
It was on 7/4/1988 that teenagers Sally McNelly and Shane Stewart went missing. It was alleged by her friends that Sally had been involved with a group practicing “black magic” and “Satan worship” and that this possibly led to her and her boyfriend’s disappearance—this is what sent the case to the front-lines of the national media during the so-called “Satanic Panic” of the 1980s. The two teens disappeared on 7/4, were reported missing on 7/7, but it was not until November that the bodies were found, both victims of shotgun blasts to the head. The case remains unsolved.
It would seem that here at the mid-point of all this Wonka-related madness is a bonafide case of ritual murder/sacrifice, on a numerically charged national holiday to boot. That is to say, assuming that this was in fact a Satanic cult murder, and not something or someone else using the “Satanic panic” to cleverly disguise its actions. The fact that the case was never solved would seem to indicate the perp(s) were smarter (or more well-connected) than your average group of Texas satanists. Nevertheless the case was amplified by the media on the basis of these rumors and used in that ongoing campaign to further delude and misinform the public.
A lot can be drawn from a close examination of the victims’ birthdays, but maybe most telling is this:
Sally was abducted 19 + 19 weeks before her 19th birthday, while Shane was abducted 109 weeks before his own 19th birthday.
Does all this business involving 19 have something to do with why, in Kubrick’s Eyes Wide Shut, the dead body of Amanda Curren (victim of ritual sacrifice) is seen in clear juxtaposition with the number 19 on the adjacent locker door, seen below on the right?
It might also connect to how in the film Doctor Sleep—a “sequel” (released in ‘19) to Kubrick’s The Shining —a young boy is ritually tortured and murdered by a cult (and his pain and suffering imbibed) while wearing a baseball jersey bearing the number 19, seen below on the left.
This scene of “the murder of Number 19” was so brutal that even Stephen King himself (who was otherwise delighted by the emphasis on the number featured in so many of his books) suggested that the director tone it down a little bit!
In any case it’s truly an awful lot of 19s, and even more when recalling the earlier data surrounding the death of Robbie Middleton, born on Musk’s 19th birthday. Is there a chance, even a chance, that the Robbie Middleton case emerged out of similar milieu as the murders of Sally and Shane? Both happened in Texas (like JFK). Perhaps not—it’s a big state. But who can say? The effects may have been the same, regardless.
You should never, never doubt what nobody is sure about.
7/4/1988: The Deaths of Adrian Adonis and The Bearman
The next tragic event, also on 7/4/1988, involved the world of pro wrestling, which means that of these 5 mid-points, no less than 2 of them feature a grand total of 4 dead pro-wrestlers. Like boxers (a frequent subject of Kubrick’s lens), these are folk who work inside the squared circle, an inherently magic space, which has seemed to work as a particularly strange attractor for synchronicity throughout the years.
7/4/1988 saw the deaths of Adrian Adonis and two other wrestlers when their car crashed on a frozen road in Newfoundland, Canada. Trope-wise this one falls squarely under the sign of the Subliminal Bear. Only this story has overt bears, and plenty of them.
Recall how the last mid-point examined in part 2 saw the death of wrestler Danny McShain (Danny/Shine). Well, here Adrian Adonis (whose name—AA—implies Apollo, the Sun God—and do the two As make an M?) died in a car-crash alongside another wrestler called The Bearman, as well as one-half of the twin brother wrestling duo the Kelly Brothers.
As told to Dark Side of the Ring by Mike Kelly, the only one of the 4 men that lived, he mentions that he saw a bear-cub running in the snow near the car moments before Adonis lost control of the vehicle. Here’s what Kelly says verbatim:
“My brother and I, Adrian, and the Bearman, it was about 8 o’clock at night, it was about as broad daylight as it is as noon. Pure daylight, I couldn’t believe it. It was amazing. Freaked me right out. It looks like a desert out there actually. We had to go around these big rocks. We just barely got through with our van. We were going down the highway and I saw a little bearcub. My brother, the reflection of the sun caught the sight of his eye and he had swerved to the left where the grass was. The van had gotten down in a little gully and hit this huge rock dead on.”
The Bearman was a wrestler whose gimmick was wearing bearskins and wrestling bears, constantly, to the point that he kept a trained wrestling bear with him at his house. Earlier in the episode we learn that this was a mistake, because one day his girlfriend was taking a shower when the “trained” bear walked into the bathroom and “tore her to shreds.”
Later, on 7/4/1988, perhaps in a moment of reaping what you sow, The Bearman too was torn to shreds, not by a bear but by metal and gravity and physics (read: Saturn), when, according to Mike Kelly’s story, the alignment of the car on the twisting road met with the Sun just right, such that Adonis, who was driving, was momentarily blinded by its shining light, which led to his losing control altogether and driving off into a ditch, colliding with a massive rock wall, killing 3 of the vehicle’s 4 occupants instantly.
If you put the previous “Danny McShine” death together now with the deaths (due to shining light from the sun) of Adrian Adonis, the “Bearman,” and the tragic twins (not to mention the dead/mutilated woman in a shower), well, what the hell else do you get but a fragmented fractal of The Shining playing out in real life via the fates of pro wrestlers on the days we’ve set our Crypto-K lens to investigating? It’s stunning and even a little shocking how tightly the facts of this particular story align with the overall trope phenomena predicted and described by Crypto-K.
7/3/1988: Iran Air Flight 655 shot-down by USS Vincennes
Now for the last and largest-scale tragedy. What can be said about this? 290 people—mostly Iranians, zero Americans—66 children—met a fiery, pointless death due to the actions of one US ship commander (or so we are told). This rightfully caused a global scandal, but of course the USA and the commander responsible who said it was an accident never paid any kind of real price for this grave sin—though a car bomb unsuccessfully aimed at the Captain a year later showed that some people never forgave or forgot. Funnily enough both that car-bomb story and the Sally and Shane murders received attention from Unsolved Mysteries—and both remain unsolved.
We won’t go deep into the details of the incident here. If you want to learn more about it, the most thorough investigation into the matter was done by Newsweek magazine in an article titled “Sea of Lies.” What’s thoroughly unbelievable about this, however, as per usual with Crypto-K, is not what the article says but when it was published. The cover-date on this issue of Newsweek (seen below) was 7/13/1992—exactly the mid-point between the premiere of Willy Wonka and the premiere of Snowpiercer (examined in part 2)! In other words the incident and the investigatory publication into it are both situated at key points on the Wonka-Matrix—and none of this was on our radar at all before it came up in a mid-point search. But that’s how this thing usually works.
Who benefits from such incidental mass suffering and death? Logically it would be those who feed on it (pain and suffering—garmonbozia—much like the members of the cult in Doctor Sleep or the Black Lodge entities of Twin Peaks). It is finding this mass-death event here, amidst this larger investigation, aligned in time with the murders of Sally McNally and Shane Stewart via alleged satanic sacrifice, that causes the obvious suspicion to arise: was the destruction of Iran Air Flight 655 also a case of ritual murder/sacrifice, but on a much larger scale?
Were those 290 souls the real sacrifice that weekend, rather than the perhaps staged or otherwise misunderstood murders of Sally & Shane? Is that what something is trying to say with these synchronistic correspondences? The timing was certainly right, and the target was of the requisite origin in a generational conflict which surfaced here all the way back in part 1 with the Arab-Israeli truce taking shape on the mid-point between the births of Wilder and Musk, a conflict over the possession of land that became institutionalized with the foundation of Israel 42 weeks after Truman signed the National Security Act on the day Stanley Kubrick turned 19, the same day that a film called Possessed was released, which features 237 in its opening scene…
In the English language, the manner by which we ascribe possession to a word is by adding ‘s—an apostrophe plus the 19th letter of the alphabet, which also happens to be the first letter of the words Sun, Stan, Satan, Saturn, and Superman, as well as the famously page-sized first letter of James Joyce’s Ulysses.
Is all this an accident? Or is it by some design? If by design, whose?
Open questions, all.
Here and now however we can finally gaze upon the completed product, a thermo-numerically sound, quadrilateral Crypto-Matrix drawn from the components and expressions of Willy Wonka across the spaces of media and historical time:
So that’s it. Dinner’s over, everyone. Thanks for sticking with it to the end (if you did).
How possibly to conclude, to sum up? Crypto-K is an ongoing process. Each matrix begets another matrix. The numerological structure underlies everything, it’s only a matter of how far you are willing to dig.
Having said that, would anyone care for fruit, or dessert?
If so, stay put, there will be a part 4, wherein we will look ahead (now behind -ed.) to the release of Wonka (starring Timothée Hal Chalamet), as the final section of our puzzle reveals itself.
A lot of this is above my head, other than it reinforces there is a pattern to this universe and that numbers/mathematics (and astrology, though I'm not sure if that's intertwined or separate) can reveal patterns, though usually most clearly after the fact.
What's really nagging at me is the perhaps subtextual suggestion that this "X" eclipse is going to kick off a massive human sacrifice, like maybe the "GO" sign for the huge number of enemies poised to polish off the U.S.A.
More excellence! Thoroughly enjoyed the three pieces.
