  1. SPC 1

    The Stone of Scone.

    History

    The first Celts arrive in Eire c2000BCE and visit the stone at Tara C3000bce – it's little more than 3 foot tall. Either a short king, or the height of a throne chair to sit on.

    The Scots

    They finally leave eastern Ulster – having established connections to the north and east, and make this permanent by taking their tribal throne stone with them.

    The Picts of the NE

    When the thrones of the Scots and Picts becomes one – there is a sandstone from Scone near Perth used for coronations.

    The English steal a stone in 1296, and put it on the Edward throne chair.

    The Scots claim the stone is fake and Dubkeld monks hid it in the Tay and then took to Dunsinane Hill.

    Later the Stuarts add wood above the one in England.

    1818 the House of Hanover is without an heir of the next generation. A woman gets pregnant around September October 1818. Her pregnancy is later reported

    Jan 2 1819 a letter to a Scottish newspaper.

    A letter to the editor of the Morning Chronicle, dated 2 January 1819, states:

    On the 19th of November, as the servants belonging to the West Mains of

    Dunsinane-house, were employed in carrying away stones from the excavation made among the ruins that point out the site of Macbeth's castle here, part of the ground they stood on suddenly gave way, and sank down about six feet, discovering a regularly built vault, about six feet long and four wide. None of the men being injured, curiosity induced them to clear out the subterranean recess, when they discovered among the ruins a large stone, weighing about 500 lb [230 kg], which is pronounced to be of the meteoric or semi-metallic kind. This stone must have lain here during the long series of ages since Macbeth's reign. Beside it were also found two round tablets, of a composition resembling bronze. On one of these two lines are engraved, which a gentleman has thus deciphered. — 'The sconce (or shadow) of kingdom come, until Sylphs in air carry me again to Bethel.' These plates exhibit the figures of targets for the arms. From time immemorial it has been believed among us here, that unseen hands brought Jacob's pillow from Bethel and dropped it on the site where the palace of Scoon now stands. A strong belief is also entertained by many in this part of the country that it was only a representation of this Jacob's pillow that Edward sent to Westminster, the sacred stone not having been found by him. The curious here, aware of such traditions, and who have viewed these venerable remains of antiquity, agree that Macbeth may, or rather must, have deposited the stone in question at the bottom of his Castle, on the hill of Dunsinane (from the trouble of the times), where it has been found by the workmen. This curious stone has been shipped for London for the inspection of the scientific amateur, in order to discover its real quality.

    Dunsinane Hill has the remains of a late prehistoric hill fort, and this has historical associations with Macbeth, but no remains dating to the 11th century have been identified on the hill.

    Note in the USA in the 1820's came the golden plates translation and the book of Mormon about God favoured people who looked whiter than those cursed with suntans (those the covered up people) who longed for land of their own in Missouri (now outside Kansas in Utah). And after them, those of Jacob's house but from out of Joseph – those not Catholic because they were like a called out Calvinist elite in William Millers new world (the joke is that in the year that James Stuart became King in 1603 was the year William Miller built a castle in Edinburgh – Craigintinnie (extra joke, in it a library book called The Holinshed Chronicles – the basis for the play Macbeth).

    In 1843-44 the year of advent according to William Miller, Joseph Smith died while campaigning to be POTUS. The winner James Polk was known for his Manifest Destiny programme.

    1605 a plot. A plot of land 1607 Jamestown Virginia. And King James witch-hunter in chief exports this to the new world. Thus the Watchtower Society and fusion centres and investigation of those who rebel against the patriarchy of the white race God, out of Israel.

    Thus Motherland Fort Salem, a story about the attempt to divide and conquer feminism and the men of letters hunters, the Camarilla (a play on the name Camilla).

    Of course, this is just a narrative about identity, ideology, religion and power and authority in the land of the Five Eyes white race of English speaking peoples (see William Massey and end time horse riders – and the veterinarians calendar).

    Happy Beltane and Samhain.

    • Anne 1.1

      Thanks SPC

      So quintessentially part of British mythology.

      • SPC 1.1.1

        Yeah. Elizabeth Woodville and her mother were both accused of witchcraft. Part of Lancaster and Tudor gaunt beaufort morganatic politics.

    • SPC 1.2

      A correction

      a letter to a Scottish London newspaper

      … the Morning Chronicle, dated 2 January 1819,

    • SPC 1.3

      There are a number of things I might do this Saturday night, but I’ll tell you what I won’t be doing – swearing allegiance to the King during the coronation.

      As the BBC reports, at some point during all the pomp “people around the world [are] set to be asked to cry out and swear allegiance to the King”.

      And here’s the script you will be invited to cry out: “I swear that I will pay true allegiance to Your Majesty, and to your heirs and successors according to law. So help me God.”

      https://www.stuff.co.nz/opinion/300866541/i-thought-swearing-allegiance-to-king-part-of-his-coronation-was-a-spoof

      The legend is that the stone itself will affirm recognition of the true king being on the throne chair, in reality the audience (local and at large) is to make the said sounds/words.

  2. SPC 2

    The largest bank of the USA, JP Morgan, has taken over First Republic, the largest bank since Washington Mutual 2008 to fail.

    First Republic was taken over by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation and immediately sold to JPMorgan. The deal was announced hours before U.S. markets are set to open, and after a scramble by officials over the weekend.

    Abstract
    The role that children play in the transmission of the omicron variant is unclear. Here we report an outbreak that started in young children attending various pediatric facilities, leading to extensive household transmission that affected 75 families with 88 confirmed case-patients in 3 weeks. Tailored social and public health measures directed towards children and pediatric facilities are warranted with the emergence of highly transmissible omicron variant to mitigate the impact of coronavirus diseases 2019 (COVID-19.
