8 Days and a Fortnight in July, two years apart

8 Days and a Fortnight in July, two years apart.

What a difference 730 days make.
The Definitive Narrative of What has Happened,
with links to the cosmos (channelin' Rigel)

Frank Rich’s excellent analytical work in “Eight Days in July” (NY Times online, 07/24) enables us to link a sequence of events in the 7/6 – 7/14 period of that month in ’03 – the first dating J.C Wilson’s NYTimes piece discrediting them, the second the publication of R. Novak’s column discrediting him – to the sequence of events 7/7 -7/21, ‘05. Novak’s piece discredited Wilson’s debunking of the claim Iraq sought uranium from Niger through the infamous, and likely illegal, leaking of his wife’s name and CIA status, “implying that the Niger trip was a nepotistic side show.” (“For Bush, Impact of Leak Case Is Uncertain”, NYTimes 7/24 A20, R.W. Stevenson).

During the earlier 8 day interval, the administration pared references to Saddam Hussein’s Weapons of Mass Destruction, to “WMD programs”, later to “WMD program activities” in order to square claim to fact, Rich points out. CIA director George Tenet issues a statement taking the fall for the 16 condemning words, admitting they were not true (attributing seeking uranium by Iraq from Niger). Though it is his agency that initiated the complaint about Novak’s article leak, forwarded to Alberto Gonzales, who kept it to himself for 12 hours before sending it on to Attorney General Ashcroft. Also in this time frame, a State Department memo mentioning Valerie Plame and marking her “S”, secret, was delivered aboard Air Force One to Colin Powell, accompanying the President, C. Rice, Rove and other dignitaries on a trip to Africa. “Mission Accomplished” had just been announced 10 days prior, now this matter of Wilson’s undermining their credibility was apparently in the process of being taken care of, perhaps in silence, by winks, nods, twitches and shrugs. Things are looking OK, overall. Transparency is just around the corner…


But now, this July. The 14 days bookended by 7/7 – 7/21 could be titled “LONDON’S FORTNIGHT OF TERROR”: 7/7 -- subway-bus explosions; 7/21 –
the ‘copycat’ explosion of the detonation devices only, in a similar north-south lines as if to cross or square an area.

The numbers are a psychosemiotic forensic clue. If these explosions were perpetrated in order to become ingredient in group-process communications, as is usually attributed to terrorist planners, the numbers, among other symbolic tokens, provide a window to what is going on in the group-unconscious.

When number signs become tokens, dates for timelines can connect geometry (triads, squares, circles), astronomy, Transportation routes become Da Vinci code puzzle glyphs. The ‘power’ number, the number of powers, with power, is unmistably “7”. The simple doubling of repetitions, marking 7/7, 7/14, 7/21 (22), 7/28 (29), which in turn mark the four phases of the moon and the four 7-day week cycle, define the standard “Month”. This was the basis of the earliest calendar divisions, embedded in old, pre-dynastic Egyptian calculations, pre-Babylonian Sumerian/Hebrew calendar at Kish (circa 5,770 years ago), keeping roughly regular with the solar year of 365 days by adding a 29th day to the 13 x 28 = 364 days of moon cycles. The superior 360 + 5 “turnover” days was installed in Marduk’s Babylon and Dynastic Egypt, with three 10-day “decan” periods defining each “month” rather than the four 7-day weeks. The “One” added to “21” to gain “22”, takes THE DATES AS RATIOS OF 7/-, INTO THE DECIMAL EXPANSION 3.142857142857142…etc. etc., ad inf. 7/22 (twenty two divided by seven) was Achimedes’ approximation to pi (or vice versa; see blog). Thus, the shooting of unarmed, helpless Brazillian Charles de Menezes following on the previous provided a violent punctuation, as it were to the previous day’s shock, which by its repetition, punctuated “7/7”.

A third/fourth major event, connected fallout at this end of this interval is: A. The House of Representatives passing indefinite extension of the patriot act, some citing their concern about London; and B. Random bag searches are launched in NYCity’s subway system. “Time is Right for Searches, Commissioner Tells Riders… Attacks in London led New Yorkers to accept bag searches, Kelley says.” (NYTimes, n 25 Kareem Fahim)


*****
In strictly token-association to 7/22 it should be mentioned that, if the slash “/” means arithmetical division, that is to say, symbol of a fraction, or a ratio, it goes over directly into 3.142857, which is twice significant: once, because it is a close approximation to the decimal expansion of pi, the ratio of units of length of the diameter of a circle to the units of length of its sides. Second, because the sequence .142857 is identical with the decimal for One, or unity, divided into seven parts, as on a circle. This sequence is “tokened” in moments in a 7-point circle circumference in the enneagram, conjoined by a great interior triad connecting the intervals 3-4, on the ordinal clockwise progression, plus the intervals 5-6, to the point of unity (7/9=0/l).
