Europeans obviously invented this game.) Decoding the Illuminati Alice – a reference to the novels Alice in Wonderland and/or Through the SUMMARY: From what I can tell, Illuminati pick out an individual (probably a Looking Glass. Lewis Carroll used Illuminati symbolism, and MK ULTRA made male), mark him with an “X” and call him “the sun.” They then blacklist him, lie use of fantasy books likeAlice In Wonderland and the Wizard of Oz series. to him, and prevent him from having success in his field, at the same time Angel – a powerful spirit (usually potentially helpful/good) spying on him and using his life as artistic fodder. This is human sacrifice and Ant/Ant Farm – sun psychological torture. He’s still alive, but dehumanized, misled, tormented, and Ape/Monkey/Chim Chim – sun. I believe that “Chim Chim” may also be a treated as sacrificial “food.” And it is abuse to force an artist, politician, or chimney sweep reference.

Good information about There is a lot of superstition and smoke and mirrors around the “sun sacrifice,” Illuminati and MK ULTRA regularly disappears off bookshelves and the Internet, not to mention big money being spent and made. I believe this tradition has leaving mostly misinformation and over-generalizations to throw you off the gone on for centuries, despite many artists railing against it (covertly, using path.

The “baby as sun” imagery pre-dates 1980.

  • Krist Novoselic, Dave Grohl, and Kurt Cobain
    f Krist Novoselic, Dave Grohl, and Kurt Cobain (from top) N irvana By David Fricke The Seattle band led and defined the early-nineties alternative-rock uprising, unleashing a generation s pent-up energy and changing the sound and future of rock. THIS IS WHAT NIRVANA SINGER-GUITARIST KURT Cobain thought of institutional honors in rock & roll: When his band was photographed for the cover of Rolling Stone for the first time, in early 1992, he arrived wearing a white T-shirt on which he’d written, c o r p o r a t e m a g a z i n e s s t i l l s u c k in black marker. The slogan was his twist on one coined by the punk-rock label SST: “Corporate Rock Still Sucks.” The hastily arranged photo session, held by the side of a road during a manic tour of Australia, was later recalled by photogra­ pher Mark Seliger: “I said to Kurt, T think that’s a great shirt... but let’s shoot a couple with and without it.’ Kurt said, ‘No, I’m not going to take my shirt off.’” Rolling Stone ran his Fuck You un-retouched. ^ Cobain was also mocking his own success. At that moment, Nirvana - Cobain, bassist Krist Novoselic, and drummer Dave Grohl - was rock’s biggest new rock band, propelled out of a long-simmering postpunk scene in Seattle by its incendiary second album, N everm ind, and an improbable Top Ten single, “Smells Like Teen Spirit.” Right after New Year’s Day 1992, Nevermind - Nirvana’s first major-label release and a perfect monster of feral-punk challenge and classic-rock magne­ tism, issued to underground ecstacy just months before - had shoved Michael Jackson’s D angerous out of the Number One spot in B illboard.

    1 When Are Apologies Effective? An Investigation of the Components that Increase an Apology’s Efficacy A dissertation presented by Krista M. Hill To The Department of Psychology In partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in the field of Psychology Northeastern University Boston, Massachusetts May 10, 2013 2 WHEN ARE APOLOGIES EFFECTIVE? AN INVESTIGATION OF THE COMPONENTS THAT INCREASE AN APOLOGY’S EFFICACY by Krista M. Hill ABSTRACT OF DISSERTATION Submitted in partial fulfillment of the requirements For the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in Psychology In the College of Science of Northeastern University May 10, 2013 3 ABSTRACT Although apologies are a staple of civil society, it is unclear whether they are effective and if effective, what components are involved in the perfect apology. The term “components” refers to general categories of actions (both verbal and nonverbal) that may be present in an apology. Two studies were conducted to examine (1) whether apologies are effective in eliciting positive outcomes for an apologizer and (2) potential apology components that may obtain positive outcomes for an apologizer. For Study 1, six meta-analyses of previously published studies, examined the relation between apologies and offended parties’ (1) forgiveness, (2) attributions of positive qualities to the apologizer, (3) positive emotions toward the apologizer, (4) positive legal outcomes for the apologizer, (5) intentions to purchase goods from the apologizer, and (6) overall positive reactions and behaviors toward the apologizer (i.e., combining across all outcomes). High- inference coding was used to determine which theory-driven components contribute most to the effectiveness of apologies.
