(OP) User ID: 45592051 United States 07/31/2014 01:01 AM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | I am a huge King fan, and have read all of his books many times over. Quoting: Baroness Flagg works for the Crimson King, who is taking over the Dark Tower to bring down all levels of the universe. Captain Trips (one name for the virus) happened only in one level, one world, out of many. Given all that is happening with nuclear reactors, it seems fitting with the end of the story. Side note, a Catholic priest wrote a dissertation on the whole of Kings work, calling it 'religious'. For some reason, I cannot paste a link, so Google: Catholic priest writes on Stephen King. for those not familiar with King's works - maybe start here with the very basics. It's far-reaching, but if your mind is open enough, and if you can imagine that which is/seems un-imaginable.... .... it can open your thought processes just a little bit wider! *'The Talisman' is a 1984 fantasy novel by Stephen King and Peter Straub <snipped> Jack's journey takes him simultaneously through the American heartland and "the Territories", a strange fantasy land which is set in a universe parallel to that of Jack's America. Individuals in the Territories have "twinners," or parallel individuals, in our world. Twinners' births, deaths, and (it is intimated) other major life events are usually paralleled. Twinners can also "flip" or migrate to the other world, but only share the body of their alternate universe's analogue. In rare instances (such as Jack's), a person may die in one world but not the other, making the survivor "single-natured" with the ability to switch back and forth, body and mind, between the two worlds. [link to en.wikipedia.org] ------ *'Black House' by Stephen King and Peter Straub. Published in 2001, this is the sequel to The Talisman. <snipped> After the events of The Talisman, Jack Sawyer has repressed the memories of his adventures in The Territories and his hunt for the Talisman as a twelve year-old boy, though the residue of these events has served to subtly affect his life even after he has forgotten them.

(OP) User ID: 45592051 United States 07/31/2014 01:20 AM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | With the missing hemmorhagic fever vial from the lab in Galveston yesterday, I was reading through some of the old sinkhole/assumption threads. Especially the ones with messages from East Texas. Lots of very bizarre coincidences began to surface.... I just wanted to share. Quoting: ladyannie2009 ---------- Stephen King’s book, ‘The Stand’ was originally released in the late 70’s. Then he released an uncut/complete version in 1990 with all of the edits restored. King had modernized some of the story. He made changes and included some of current trends/fads from the pop culture to appeal to a younger audience. The movie is an apocalyptic, end-of-the-world-as-we-know-it story about a virus with a mortality rate of over 99%. The military calls it ‘Project Blue’…… civilians reference it as ‘captain trips’ or just ‘the super-flu’……but whatever the name, it’s a global killer that presents itself with typical, flu-like symptoms. King had wanted George Romero to direct the movie version because of the work he had done on his dawn/dead zombie films which King was (still is) a huge fan of. The two had collaborated on/off for 10+ years on a screen play, but there were issues almost from the beginning, mostly because of the length of the uncut version. Romero didn’t think it would hold an audience’s attention….and King didn’t want to make revisions to shorten the film because of how he had taken the time to really build the characters. He made them real by injecting real events and real life lessons that he wanted people to be able to identify with. Eventually, they parted ways (remaining friends)…and the idea for Romero to direct was scrapped. A few years later, ABC & King agreed on a screenplay for the movie, the cast was chosen, and ABC made the film. It was released in the mid 90’s as an 8 hr mini-series shown in 4 segments. The movie has a theme of ‘Good’ v/s ‘Evil’. Most of the people who have natural immunity to the virus have lost everyone (book is slightly different than the movie) Entire families, gone. Friends, neighbors, co-workers…all gone. Most animals have died off as well. The survivors begin to have precognitive dreams that lead them to one of the two groups that begin to form. The ‘good guys’ are represented by an old woman they call Mother Abigail……and the ‘bad guys’ are represented by a demon in human form. His name is Randall Flagg. *****SPOILER ALERT***** Part I – The Plague: Movie starts off at a high-level security army base in Baja, California. It’s a research facility where they’re doing top-secret testing on biological & chemical weapons. They’re in a bio-level 4 medical lab when there is a containment breach on one of the highly virulent strains they’re working with. Something so deadly, that it kills everyone inside the lab in a matter of minutes. Because of a malfunction with the security gates, one of the MP’s on outside patrol, Charles Campion, manages to escape from his military guard shack. He quickly grabs his wife and baby, and makes it out of the army facility before the gates lock-down with them inside. Unfortunately, he & his family are already infected. Campion, in a delusional & advanced state of illness, is able to get all the way to a small gas station in the north east corner of Texas. In a small little town called ‘Arnett’. Unbeknownst to him, his wife and baby have died along the way….. he dies a few minutes later. The military moves in, and the residents of Arnett are put in a mandatory quarantine. They are told it’s necessary because of a new strain of anthrax. The virus is then purposely spread to other countries so that the contamination leak cannot be traced back to the military base in California. The virus continues to spread, and within 19 days, over 99% of the world’s population is dead. The remaining survivors find each other through their dreams (or nightmares depending on what side they’re on), and together, as a group, they begin to assemble their new lives in new places with the people that will become their new families. All of the survivors must choose their own destiny by choosing their own path. They make their own choices on which team to join based on who they are as individuals. Of what’s important to them in establishing their new lives. Evil wants to control the world…..plus everything & everyone in it. Evil is materialistic, it craves power and it wants to rule over all. If Good wants to remain sovereign, they will have to fight. They will have to take a ‘STAND’ and battle evil one last time. I thought about the book too! It's; "Game Over"! Jesus is coming back and *everybody* is choosing sides...*everybody*! hmmm.... I respectfully disagree with you. I don't think it's 'game over' (yet) ....however, I do think it's 100% 'game-changing' ...although, most people won't even realize it cuz they're still snoozing away their days. "stand in THIS line" "stand in THAT line" ...it's all the same to them, you know? But they're okay with it. During my 'sabbatical'.... that's one of the things that I changed my views on. It's not my job or my responsibility to 'wake' people up. You can share information..... you can provide the evidence/links for your own theories/beliefs. But you can not make someone wake up who doesn't want to open their eyes! Can't do it.... Ain't gonna happen.... Not in this life.... Or the next! I've wasted SOOOO much energy & resources trying to open other minds to the truth. All a wasted effort. All was in vain. All emotions & frustrations traded for nothing. The only thing it did..... was convince me that I had tried my best. ....however frustrating that it is/was for me. But just as WE have free will in opening our minds/thoughts/reality indicators to point to the 'truth' - the sheeple have every inalienable right to remain sleeping.... no matter how sad it is for us to view from this side of reality. Free will reigns in all things. It is absolute. "the truth will stand up, when nothing else will" - annie's mom "When a great ship is in harbor and moored, it is safe, there can be no doubt.

(OP) User ID: 45592051 United States 07/31/2014 01:42 AM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | Part I – The Plague Quoting: ladyannie2009 I’m really not sure what to make of this next part, so I’ll just give you the facts and let you, the reader, form your own opinions. At the very beginning of the movie (1st part)….. there is a black screen that appears with a quote by TS Eliot: **you can see this in the link provided….it’s right before the song ‘Don’t Fear The Reaper’ by Blue Oyster Cult begins….. without more cowbell ‘This is the way the world ends, This is the way the world ends, This is the way the world ends, Not with a bang but a whimper.’ That’s on the regular film version VHS & DVD. Even when it’s on television, that quote is always shown. It really sets the pace of the movie I think and I’ve never NOT seen it. Earlier, and the main reason for me posting this, is because I had turned the tv on and started the 1st part of the movie through Netflix. Where the TS Eliot quote should have been was a different quote. One that I’ve never seen attached to this movie ever (can another Netflix subscriber verify this please?). The TS Eliot quote was gone and replaced with this: REV 6 – 8 And I saw a pale horse And a pale rider upon it And the name of the horse Was pestilence And the name of the rider Was death. *if there’s interest, I can summarize the other 3 parts of the movie for those who don’t have time to watch it. Just let me know. [link to en.wikipedia.org] That is a real find. I have seen so many instances of media manipulation to incorporate the prophecies in The Revelation, they do it to guide the masses' thinking in the channels they want. Does anybody remember during the Egyption "Spring" event, the news video taken in Tahir Square with the strange, pale green ghost like figure rising up out of the crowd, and references all over the internet to the pale horse? Here's one from youtube [link to www.youtube.com (secure)] The TS Elliot edit/change was a HUGE red-flag with me. I'm a big SK fan - been reading his books since the late 70's and 'The Stand' (for whatever reason) has always been a massive favorite of mine. When the movie originally aired, I watched it in real time. Then later, I bought the VHS tape ().... then a few years later, copied it from a televised rerun on cable. And even tho I could repeat the dialogue with near 100% accuracy.... I still frequently watch/listen to it on Netflix/youtube. I KNOW that movie..... and that TS Elliot quote is *part of the movie* ...it's not a disclaimer ...its no message from the radio/internet broadcasters ....it's not a 'message from our sponsors' ....it's *part of the movie* Which means, someone didn't just edit something OUT Someone ADDED SOMETHING IN Which is a shit lot harder doing than just taking out some offensive language/sex scene. Now.... why would someone go to the trouble to do this? What is gained to change some stupid little intro poem that most people wouldn't fucking notice or even care about? Why now after all these years? Who benefits? Who suffers? And who were the intended receivers? Was it subliminal? And if it WAS..... what was the REAL message being conveyed?

There doesn't seem to be as many video examples/clips to share as there were 18 months ago. Here are brief descriptions of the 4 different chapters. Part 1 - The Plague *the intitial release/spread and ultimate decimation of the world's population from the 'captain trips' virus that was engineered by the army. Part 2 - The Dreams *with their lives/families destroyed & dead - the survivors of the pandemic are pulled together by their dreams/visions/nightmares. Two major groups begin to form - Good and Evil. Part 3 - The Betrayal *someone is revealed as a Trojan after he infiltrates the opposing group with the purpose of causing as much physical/psychological destruction as possible. This person's identity is not revealed to the general population until after the damage has been done. ...Having no other useful purpose....his 'handlers' discard/leave him to die in the desert after he successfully completes his 'mission'. Part 4 - The Stand *realizing what they're up against but knowing that they can never allow tyranny to rule over them..... the 'good' side decide to take a 'Stand' against the 'evil' side. Against the odds. And without the benefit of an armory. They choose to go head-to-head with those that want to rule over them..... knowing they will win or lose...and also knowing there will be NO draws in this battle. It's all....or nothing.

User ID: 1483527 07/31/2014 04:29 AM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | He who Is — the dark man, the hardcase. He waited for Trashcan Man in Cibola, and his were the armies of the night, his were the white-faced riders of the dead who would sweep out of the west and into the very face of the rising sun. They would come raving and grinning and stinking of sweat and gunpowder. There would be shrieks, and Trashcan cared very little for shrieks, there would be rape and subjugation, things about which he cared even less, there would be murder, which was immaterial— Quoting: Anonymous Coward 60876980 –and there would be a Great Burning. About that he cared very much. In the dreams the dark man came to him and spread out his arms from a high place and showed Trashcan a country in flames. Cities going up like bombs. Cultivated fields drawn in lines of fire. The very rivers of Chicago and Pittsburgh and Detroit and Birmingham ablaze with floating oil. And the dark man had told him a very simple thing in his dreams, a thing which had brought him running: I will set you high in my artillery. You are the man I want. -Stephen King, The Stand CIBOLA = EBOLA “Ci-a-bola, Ci-a-bola, bump-ty, bump-ty, bump! Ci-a-bola, Ci-a-bola, bump-ty, bump-ty, bump! ” Each final “bump! ” was followed by a little skipping leap until the heat made everything swim and the harsh bright sky went twilight gray and he collapsed on the road, half fainting, his taxed heart thundering crazily in his arid chest. With the last of his strength, blubbering and grinning, he pulled himself over the overturned pickup truck and lay in its diminishing shade, shivering in the heat and panting. “Cibola!” He croaked. “Bumpty-bumpty-bump! ” “Cibola!” He muttered. “Cibola! I’m coming! I’m coming! I’ll do whatever you want! My life for you! Bumpty-bumpty-bump! ” [link to www.e-reading.ws] |

User ID: 60940255 Australia 07/31/2014 05:02 AM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | So many synchronicities lately...... beyond explanation. And too f*cking bizarre to even begin to explain, but I'll try and summarize soon. Let's just say my life has been thrown many obstacles. Some of which (I think) have been a part of my postings on this site. So I took a sabbatical. I had to. For myself.....and for others. No glp for a couple of months. I had to detox from glp.....and de-compress from personal issues.....and I am trying to re-invent whatever it is that I am supposed to become..... ....Cuz 'old ladyannie' is sorta non-existent now. I have new experiences in which to draw information from & many of my life changes have fundamentally changed my philosophy on certain subjects. This thread, however, remains 100% pat. At least for now..... But I've been lurking for the past cpl weeks. Nutmeg's good sumaritan work today made me wanna sign in & give some positive karma.... .....so now I'm back I guess. I'm gonna catch up with this thread.....then leave my comments tomorrow. Awesome feedback! Just in scanning.... I've got lots on my mind to share! In the meantime - has anyone really listened to the 'don't fear the reaper' lyrics? I mean ~really...really~ listened?? [link to www.youtube.com (secure)] i hear your words... i really do.... It's life as we know it, but only just. [link to citizenperth.wordpress.com] sic ut vos es vos should exsisto , denego alius vicis facio vos change , exsisto youself , proprie |
