  • Archons (Commanders) [NOTICE: They Are NOT Anlien Parasites], and Then, in a Mirror Image of the Great Emanations of the Pleroma, Hundreds of Lesser Angels
    A R C H O N S HIDDEN RULERS THROUGH THE AGES A R C H O N S HIDDEN RULERS THROUGH THE AGES WATCH THIS IMPORTANT VIDEO UFOs, Aliens, and the Question of Contact MUST-SEE THE OCCULT REASON FOR PSYCHOPATHY Organic Portals: Aliens and Psychopaths KNOWLEDGE THROUGH GNOSIS Boris Mouravieff - GNOSIS IN THE BEGINNING ...1 The Gnostic core belief was a strong dualism: that the world of matter was deadening and inferior to a remote nonphysical home, to which an interior divine spark in most humans aspired to return after death. This led them to an absorption with the Jewish creation myths in Genesis, which they obsessively reinterpreted to formulate allegorical explanations of how humans ended up trapped in the world of matter. The basic Gnostic story, which varied in details from teacher to teacher, was this: In the beginning there was an unknowable, immaterial, and invisible God, sometimes called the Father of All and sometimes by other names. “He” was neither male nor female, and was composed of an implicitly finite amount of a living nonphysical substance. Surrounding this God was a great empty region called the Pleroma (the fullness). Beyond the Pleroma lay empty space. The God acted to fill the Pleroma through a series of emanations, a squeezing off of small portions of his/its nonphysical energetic divine material. In most accounts there are thirty emanations in fifteen complementary pairs, each getting slightly less of the divine material and therefore being slightly weaker. The emanations are called Aeons (eternities) and are mostly named personifications in Greek of abstract ideas.

  • How Superman Developed Into a Jesus Figure
    HOW SUPERMAN DEVELOPED INTO A JESUS FIGURE CRISIS ON INFINITE TEXTS: HOW SUPERMAN DEVELOPED INTO A JESUS FIGURE By ROBERT REVINGTON, B.A., M.A. A Thesis Submitted to the School of Graduate Studies in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree of Master of Arts McMaster University © Copyright by Robert Revington, September 2018 MA Thesis—Robert Revington; McMaster University, Religious Studies McMaster University MASTER OF ARTS (2018) Hamilton, Ontario, Religious Studies TITLE: Crisis on Infinite Texts: How Superman Developed into a Jesus Figure AUTHOR: Robert Revington, B.A., M.A (McMaster University) SUPERVISOR: Professor Travis Kroeker NUMBER OF PAGES: vi, 143 ii MA Thesis—Robert Revington; McMaster University, Religious Studies LAY ABSTRACT This thesis examines the historical trajectory of how the comic book character of Superman came to be identified as a Christ figure in popular consciousness. It argues that this connection was not integral to the character as he was originally created, but was imposed by later writers over time and mainly for cinematic adaptations. This thesis also tracks the history of how Christians and churches viewed Superman, as the film studios began to exploit marketing opportunities by comparing Superman and Jesus. This thesis uses the methodological framework of intertextuality to ground its treatment of the sources, but does not follow all of the assumptions of intertextual theorists. iii MA Thesis—Robert Revington; McMaster University, Religious Studies ABSTRACT This thesis examines the historical trajectory of how the comic book character of Superman came to be identified as a Christ figure in popular consciousness. Superman was created in 1938, but the character developed significantly from his earliest incarnations.

STATIC, YET FLUCTUATING: THE EVOLUTION OF BATMAN AND HIS AUDIENCES by PERRY DUPRE DANTZLER Under the Direction of H. Calvin Thomas ABSTRACT The Batman media franchise (comics, movies, novels, television, and cartoons) is unique because no other form of written or visual texts has as many artists, audiences, and forms of expression. Understanding the various artists and audiences and what Batman means to them is to understand changing trends and thinking in American culture. The character of Batman has developed into a symbol with relevant characteristics that develop and evolve with each new story and new author. The Batman canon has become so large and contains so many different audiences that it has become a franchise that can morph to fit any group of viewers/readers. Our understanding of Batman and the many readings of him gives us insight into ourselves as a culture in our particular place in history.

    r "SUPERMAN" Screenplay by Wesley Strick Jon Peters Entertainment Director: Tim Burton Warner Bros. Pictures July 7, 1997 y?5^v First Draft The SCREEN is BLACK. FADE IN ON: INT. UNIVERSITY CORRIDOR - LATE NIGHT A YOUNG PROFESSOR hurries down the empty hall — hotly murmuring to himself, intensely concerned ... A handsome man, about 30, but dressed strangely — are we in some other country? Sometime in the past? Or in the future? YOUNG PROFESSOR It's switched off ... It can't be ... But the readings, what else — The Young Professor reaches a massive steel door, like the hatch of a walk-in safe. Slides an ID card, that's emblazoned with a familiar-looking "S" shield: the door hinges open. The Young Professor pauses — he hadn't noted, till now, the depths of his fear. Then, enters: INT. UNIVERSITY LAB - LATE NIGHT Dark. The Professor tries the lights. Power is off. Cursing, he's got just enough time, as the safe door r swings closed again, to find an emergency flashlight. He flicks it on: plays the beam over all the bizarre equipment, the ultra-advanced science paraphernalia. Now he hears a CREAK. He spins. His voice quavers. YOUNG PROFESSOR I.A.C. ..? His flashlight finds a thing: a translucent ball perched atop a corroding pyramid shape. It appears inanimate. YOUNG PROFESSOR (cont'd) Answer me. And finally, from within the ball, a faint alow. Slyly: BALL How can I? You unplugged me, Jor- El ... Remember? Recall? The Young Professor -- JOR-EL -- looks visibly shaken. y*fi^*\ (CONTINUED) CONTINUED: JOR-EL I did what I had to, I.A.C.

  • The Art of Reverse-Engineering Flash Exploits [email protected]
    The art of reverse-engineering Flash exploits [email protected] Jeong Wook Oh July 2016 Adobe Flash Player vulnerabilities As recent mitigations in the Oracle Java plugin and web browsers have raised the bar for security protection, attackers are apparently returning to focus on Adobe Flash Player as their main attack target. For years, Vector corruption was the method of choice for Flash Player exploits. Vector is a data structure in Adobe Flash Player that is implemented in a very concise form in native memory space. It is easy to manipulate the structure without the risk of corrupting other fields in the structure. After Vector length mitigation was introduced, the attackers moved to ByteArray.length corruption (CVE-2015-7645). Control Flow Guard (CFG) or Control Flow Integrity (CFI) is a mitigation introduced in Windows 8.1 and later, and recently into Adobe Flash Player. Object vftable (virtual function table) corruption has been very common technology for exploit writers for years. CFG creates a valid entry point into vftable calls for specific virtual calls, and exits the process when non-conforming calls are made. This prevents an exploit’s common method of vftable corruption. Reverse-engineering methods Dealing with Adobe Flash Player exploits is very challenging. The deficiency of usable debuggers at the byte code level makes debugging the exploits a nightmare for security researchers. Obfuscating the exploits is usually a one-way process and any attempt to decompile them has caveats. There are many good decompilers out there, but they usually have points where they fail, and the attackers usually come up with new obfuscation methods as the defense mechanism to protect their exploits from being reverse-engineered.

  • Batman/Superman/Wonder Woman: Trinity Written by Alex Mckinnon
    Batman/Superman/Wonder Woman: Trinity Written by Alex McKinnon Batman created by Bob Kane Superman created by Jerry Siegel and Joe Shuster Wonder Woman created by William Moulton Marston [email protected] INT. SMALLVILLE DINER A small glob of red ketchup on a white plate. A hand dips and slides a french fry through it in a sunny, relaxed restaurant. CLARK ... and that's how I got out. The hand belongs to CLARK KENT, approaching his twenties, the boy next door in a world without neighbors. He beams a happy, sheepish smile. Two teenagers (a BOY and a GIRL) sit across from him, speechless. GIRL You're not serious. Clark chuckles and gestures 'cross my heart'. GIRL THAT'S your big secret. The girl folds her arms and leans back in her chair, frowning. GIRL I don't believe you. CLARK Honest. The girl slaps the table, laughing incredulously. GIRL Come on! You skipped physics?! That's REALLY the best you got? CLARK I told you it wasn't worth knowing. GIRL But we gave you such good ones! You can't honestly tell me that's all. CLARK What exactly were you expecting? The girl just shrugs. Clark looks around the diner for a waiter. He suddenly looks flushed. He leans forward, elbow on the table, rubbing a hand across his face. GIRL Hey Boy Scout, what's wrong? 2. CLARK Nothing. Clark grabs a menu and hides behind it, coughing, fidgeting. He wipes his brow with the back of his hand. His eyes slowly adopt a tint of red, an odd WHISTLING accompanying the change.
