Electronic logbook for April 2021


Matthew 13:41: if only...

Yesterday I heard the following New Testament quote: ‘The Son of man shall send forth his angels, and they shall gather out of his kingdom all things that offend, and them which do iniquity;[…]’ (King James’s version). The word ‘iniquity’ got me wondering what the sentence looked like in the Latin and (ancient) Greek versions. A few keystrokes and this is what I found on https://biblehub.com/matthew/13-41.htm.

lawlessness.
ἀνομίαν (anomian)
Noun - Accusative Feminine Singular
Strong’s 458: Lawlessness, iniquity, disobedience, sin. From anomos; illegality, i.e. Violation of law or wickedness.

In turn, this prompted me to want to check the verse (Matthew 13:41) in the original manuscript, which is available in a digitised photographic reproduction at https://digi.vatlib.it/mss/detail/Vat.gr.1209, this because the Italians have this lovely expression ‘traduttore, traditore –  literally, ‘translator, traitor’; the phrase ‘lost in translation probably conveys the idea better to English ears (only by virtue of the fact that the English equivalent has been in use for a long time I would assume).

Written in the hard to decipher Koine characters (no spaces between the words, no punctuation), I would not have managed to locate the passage without spending an inordinate amount of time on this task had it not been for the transcript made quite some time ago by Carlo Vercellone and Giuseppe Cozza (originally published in 1868; reprint available at https://archive.org/details/CodexVaticanusbFacSimile) and offered online in a far more readable version by the Center for the Study of New Testament Manuscripts at http://www.csntm.org/manuscript/View/GA_03.

So, yes, the word used in the original ancient Greek version is indeed anomian in koine (fifth line from the top of the far left column at https://digi.vatlib.it/view/MSS_Vat.gr.1209/1257; the verse begins on the penultimate line of the far right column at https://digi.vatlib.it/view/MSS_Vat.gr.1209/1256). So according to Strong’s dictionary, anomos carries both the meanings of violation of the law and of wickedness.

How interesting! This because, to me, these two meanings describe perfectly well the predicament in which a very substantial chunk of the world population has found itself for more than a year. As such, one can only hope for such an outcome to come true. And the sooner would be the better – even if I have my doubts about this being possible. So if the prayers of Christians fail to help bring about the above, Christians and non-Christians should probably put their heads together to find solutions to remove this wicked illegality



Evil April, evil Bill?

In some circles April is associated with human sacrifices, for instance 19th April with sacrifice by fire! Supposedly these dreadful deeds originated from very old fertility rituals, performed on both sides of the Mediterranean Sea. As I have not really researched this topic, I cannot offer any informed comments. I would simply refer anybody interested in finding out more about this awful subject to the following link (https://web.archive.org/web/20120728020857/www.angelfire.com/my/sherbear/SRAcalendar.html) as a starting point – for instance, I would look up some of the points featured in this list (of ‘Satanic holidays’ – by the way, a nice oxymoron) using either https://duckduckgo.com or https://swisscows.com (yippy.com is no longer accessible and I fear that there is some foul play on the part of the main browser companies, as after having typed that search engine’s name in the address bar of my 4 browsers  and pressed ‘enter’, I am invariably redirected to DuckDuckGo). In addition, one should bear in mind that for certain subjects Wikipedia is highly partial (and what an understatement this can be at times). However, it should be clear that this list reflects a strong bias against paganism. For example, it associates the dates running from 26th April to the first of May with the ‘human blood thirsty’ Canaanite deity Baal (from which Beltane is said to derive). So for some, April is an evil month indeed.  

As for the computer billionaire and global spokesman for covid-19 vaccination, when two days ago I read the following headline and in particular the excerpt I provide hereafter, I could not help but wonder whether there might not be some nefarious objective being pursued by the man who is now also claimed to be the number one owner of agricultural land in the USA:

Florida set to release swarms of GMO mosquitoes as residents decry ‘criminal experiment’ by Bill Gates-backed biotech
28 Apr, 2021 01:34
[...]
For the first leg of the plan, set to be expanded later, mosquito boxes will be placed at six locations, which over 12 weeks will release around 144,000 Aedes aegypti mosquitoes, a species most closely linked with transmitting illnesses such as dengue, Zika and yellow fever. If all goes according to plan, the male, non-biting bugs will mate with local biting females, whose female offspring are programmed to die off, helping to control the Aedes aegypti population and reduce the spread of disease.
[...]

The more so, as only a year ago, thus also in April, I remember that Bill Gates described on the Stephen Colbert Show the forthcoming covid-19 vaccine as the ‘final solution’. 

The Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation is helping coordinate the global race to develop a coronavirus vaccine and is planning ahead to build the factories that will produce enough to inoculate the world’s population.

Now, I could go on and provide further similar examples (but not all for April) which I attribute to sheer malignancy on the part of Bill Gates, but my site would end up being de-indexed from the main search engines – even if my ‘root page’ (i.e. the home page) still displays the instruction ‘no index’ in the html code.



Going against the Law.

Last week, I came across a claim that might sound odd initially (mainly because one of the terms is not defined) but which nevertheless makes absolute sense – at least to me. It is that evil becomes stronger whenever we ‘go against the law’. I read it in a French book on instrumental transcommunication (itc), which is the contacting of a deceased relative through the manifestation of the latter’s voice through magnetic bands, television sets, computer monitors or even the telephone.  This book, whose title I shall translate as Images and Messages from Beyond, is primarily a diary of a grandma’s contacts with her deceased grandson who unfortunately died even before reaching his teenage years, interspersed with comments either of a metaphysical or of a philosophical nature from this very person – i.e. the grandmother, who is also the author of this book (Monique Simonet; Images et messages de lAu-delà, Éditions du Rocher, 1991). This point about ‘going against the law’ (and thus stoking the evil around oneself) allegedly made by the grandson’s spirit in reply to his sister Muriel asking him about his hair comes out as a little odd given that this discarnate entity is supposed to be that of a young boy. Just so that the reader can judge for himself or herself, here is the beginning of the dialogue that appears under the date of 17th January 1984, which translated rather literally gives something like the following:  

Darling, do you still comb your beautiful hair? asks Muriel.
- My hair?... I hardly think about it... Our body is without material contingencies; but we have spiritual obligations.
- What, for example?
- Prayer and reflection... Searching for solutions against evil... Every time you do something against “THE LAW” it is like hurting the body of Christ... And you strengthen the evil around you...

My initial reaction to this passage (which is on page 61; the book has 225 pages) was that the subject matter was totally made up and that the author was therefore a cheat. Now with roughly 40 pages left to read, I have changed my opinion and believe that the author is most probably telling the truth, however incredible some of the stuff she is describing in Images and Messages from Beyond. Yet even if she were lying about the experiences she recounts in her book, I would still agree with the contention that there is some kind of universal law which I would equate with love and harmony, i.e. the opposite of evil.

It beggars belief that some still do not get it after more than twelve months of this mostly governmental manufactured mess...Well, when a phrase is on the lips of so many of them, can it really be ascribed to chance?

A year ago on RT.com,
I came across the following news article which I even archived at the Internet Archive. However, my comments on what I fear to be an offshoot of ‘Project Blue Beam’ (as well as my own ‘UFO sighting’ last year) are for a future entry, I am afraid.

Crowd control gone awry.

A couple of hours after having published my previous entry, I opened Bitchute to peruse the latest user-generated headlines. In particular, I was interested in the topic of ‘vaccine shedding’. Even though I did come across several video titles displaying this phrase, my attention went to the following video blurb:

Police Chased Out of Hyde Park After Attacking Peaceful Protest
https://www.bitchute.com/video/BngW5DaUfIF4

Succumbing in part to some voyeuristic drive, in part to wanting to find out whether this had anything to do with last Saturday’s London march (which I hoped it had not), I clicked on the link and I watched the footage. The clip shows a small group of London police officers advancing in a line to break up an impromptu rock concert in a park said to be Hyde Park and the response of some members of the audience, namely those of the listeners who were particularly angry at the interruption of this makeshift concert by the police. First a brouhaha takes place with a lot of swearing (on both sides, mind you!), then a series of skirmishes. Being pelted repeatedly with empty bottles and even smoke cans, the police can be seen to retreat several times, then regroup and march back towards the more bellicose members of the crowd. However, for most of the footage I watched (less than half), the police officers were on the defensive and some sustained injuries or had to be dragged out of the skirmish zone by fellow officers. Had some people in the crowd not put themselves in front of the police, I fear that it would not have ended very well for several of these officers. Given all the pent-up frustrations resulting from months of government-imposed house arrest, it was sheer madness to have wanted to try to break up this gathering of rock music listeners with not only such a small police force but one simply lacking any anti-riot gear. I hope that the commanding officer who gave the order to disperse the gathering will be demoted – although this would appear extremely unlikely as it is rumoured that the higher echelons of the London metropolitan force are infested with freemasons (who it is claimed take an oath to help each other out very early in their initiation into freemasonry).
One last point: I shall refrain from making conjectures about any hidden motives behind this attempted break-up of a rock concert in a London park.

Hundred-thousandth monkey tipping point reached?

I experienced a synchronicity of some sort yesterday. On going through some of the notes I had jotted down on Friday, I somehow misread the ‘hundredth day’ in the lead-in sentence ‘As we approach the hundredth day of the Biden “presidency,”’ for ‘hundredth monkey’. Not that I am implying that Joe Biden is a monkey. No, no, I actually think that he is far worse than that as no animal can commit evil on the same scale as a heavily compromised puppet president can. What is more, animals have not been bestowed with free will. So if you have never come across the so-called ‘one hundredth monkey phenomenon’, let me quote the dictionary entry where I came across it for the first time in the 1990s (yes, I am even older than that), i.e. in Donald Watson’s A Dictionary of mind and spirit, London (André Deutsch), 1991, pages 157-158 [as always, the words in green indicate emphasis of my making]:

HUNDREDTH MONKEY PHENOMENON In 1952 wild colonies of monkeys were being studied on the Japanese island of Koshima. The researchers started leaving provisions for the animals so that they could observe their behaviour at close quarters and among the food provided were raw sweet potatoes. The monkeys liked this new delicacy, although the fact that the sweet potatoes were covered with sand and grit was a slight handicap. Or so it seemed until a bright eighteen-month-old female called Imo came along. She discovered that she could carry the fruit to the beach and wash the sand off in the sea. The salty sea-water might also have added something to the taste. Soon her playmates started imitating her, and then some of the adults started copying their offspring. The  role-reversal of the young being an example for the old rather than learning from them was duly reported in the scientific journals (Primates 6, 1965).

Then something more surprising apparently happened. The gradual increase in the number of monkeys washing their sweet potatoes in the sea changed dramatically so that virtually all the monkeys adopted the practice as if a critical number had been reached which caused the habit to sweep through the rest of the population. Furthermore, monkeys on other islands suddenly started to follow the example of Imo's colony, with which they had had no reported physical contact whatsoever.

In calling this the Hundredth Monkey Phenomenon the figure of one hundred has been chosen arbitrarily to represent any critical number, which once reached appears to induce a sudden change in a much larger population. Lyall Watson believes that the phenomenon explains the sudden blossoming of innovation in tools in the Mousterian culture after at least a million years of static tool design in the Lower Palaeolithic period.206 [206. Watson, Lyall: Lifetide, Hodder & Stoughton, London, 1979.] Rupert Sheldrake believes that biological evolution works on similar lines, by a process he calls FORMATIVE CAUSATION.

Now, even though there have been sceptics, for instance, Kendrick Frazier and Michael Shermer, to name only two of the more prominent nay-sayers, it is plain common sense that, when it comes to people, tipping points are reached only once there is a sufficiently large number of people involved.

As such, yesterday’s London march* (which I heard about through a chat message from my mother; hence the synchronicity I referred to at the beginning of this entry), if probably not yet in the hundreds of thousands, is a good milestone reached in the shaking off by the British people of the medical(-pretexted) tyranny BoJo and his cronies have put the British people under for over a year now – even though the same applies to nearly all countries predominantly populated by the so-called Caucasians, in that such draconian regimes of economic and social lockdowns have been adopted in countries as different as the UK, the United States, Germany, Switzerland, Austria, Spain or even Australia.

If enough people start taking to the streets, our public officials will invariably have to pay attention to such gatherings because they are only concerned about being re-elected so as to be able to carry out what they have been instructed to do (i.e. destroy further the countries whose naïve voters put them in power to help turn round). This is why the politicians of the above list of countries probably instituted the social distancing rule in the first place, i.e. to keep people off the streets and thus nip the bud before it gets a chance to grow.

However, history shows that once human tides have gathered enough momentum, the regimes they will be turned against are bound to be consigned to the dustbins of the past, even if such regimes resort to force and violence, or to agents provocateurs in an attempt to derail protests or even if they organise or help organise other protests taking place at the same time**…

** [...] ‘Unlike protests by _climate activists[https://www.independent.co.uk/climate-change/news/extinction-rebellion-protest-today-coal-london-b1836270.html]_ over the preceding days, Saturday’s march was largely ignored by the mainstream media, with only a handful of British tabloids dedicating short stories to the demonstration.’ […; source: https://www.rt.com/uk/522032-london-lockdown-protest-march]

Lausanne, 25th April 2021



Unfortunately, the root of April is probably not aperire.

So that my title would be firmly rooted in the vocabulary of spring (which in this part of the world is associated with the rebirth of nature), I opted for the word ‘root’ rather than ‘etymology’ or the title ‘April is probably not derived from aperire’.

So contrary to the information you may find on the Internet if you were to type the words ‘April’ and ‘etymology’ in a search engine, April is unlikely to have derived from the Latin verb ‘aperire’ (to open) but more likely from ‘ap(e)rilis’, which means ‘the following, the next’, and would refer to its position as the second month in the old version of the Roman calendar (source: https://www.etymonline.com/word/april). For instance, the academic Trésor de la langue française ascribes this wrong etymological derivation to the French mediæval author Philip of Thaon, who wrote in 1119 that ‘Avrils c'est äuvrir; Kar dunc veit l'em eissir De cez arbres les flurs’ (‘April means to open because it is from that time that flowers bud on trees’ – see also http://as-bwc-tl.spdns.org/tl/ocr/tl01.html#avril). The section of that online dictionary’s entry on April which reviews the etymology of the word ends with the statement that ‘the connection made with aperire is pure fantasy’ (‘le rapprochement fait avec aperire [...] est de pure fantaisie’). In fact, the entry on April available at the Trésor de la langue française starts with a quote taken from the French pre-Romantic author, overseas traveller and ‘cultural primitivist Jacques-Henri Bernardin de Saint-Pierre, whom they accuse of having perpetuated this wrong derivation, as, in 1814, this author wrote these rather beautiful lines (as translated by William Meeston) at the beginning of his chapter entitled the ‘Vegetable Harmonies of the Sun and Moon’: ‘[…] I have observed indeed, that in April, when our part of the world is covered with these vegetable reflectors, the increase of heat is much greater, than in the months which precede and follow it. This sudden change was no doubt the cause of giving the month its name, (from aperire to open) ; while the epithet of mild is applied to it with particular propriety, when contrasted with the severity of winter. In an infinite number of leaves come forth from their buds, and reflect the rays of the sun from their surface.’ (https://archive.org/details/b29333453_0001/page/112/mode/2up?q=April; for the quote in French, go to https://www.cnrtl.fr/definition/avril.)

Unsurprisingly, this wrong etymological derivation was picked up by other authors and has stayed with us ever since. Here is another instance I found whilst researching the etymological roots of the fourth month of our calendar: ‘April is derived from the Latin word aperire, to open, and is so called because the surface of the earth seems opened, and fresh vegetation to spring from it during this month. April is the only month in the year that has a name given to it expressive of the appearance of nature, the rest being called after heathen deities or Roman emperors, or according to their place in the calendar. Since the reign of Numa Pompilius, April has been reckoned the fourth month of / the year. It was the “Aster-Monat” of the Saxons.’ pp.185-186 of Lord William Pitt Lennox’s Sport at home and abroad (vol.1), London, 1872.

A pity then that the etymology of April is not related to a metaphorical association with budding (i.e. the sprouting or growth of buds, flowers, etc.) and thus the verb ‘to open’ ... but not all words were made equal, shall we say?

A previous weblog sub-entry of mine on another month of our calendar, i.e. February.

PS the English word ‘aperture’ is derived from the Latin verb ‘aperire’.  Also please note that I had already started my entry with the fragment which in this part of the world is associated with the rebirth of nature’ even before having opened the Trésor de la langue française and learned about this French writer Jacques-Henri Bernardin de Saint-Pierre (who uses a rather similar phrase). I used this phrase because I know from the country where my wife was born that spring is not a season that everybody on this planet gets to enjoy and I was thinking of her when I wrote my first sentence (as she is not with me in Lausanne presently)...
