Syn-crow-nicity: Order out of Chaos

 Jeff Goldblum stars in new TV show Kaos.

 The trailer was released on July 25th, one day prior to the Paris Olympic Games opening ceremony.

In the trailer we see that Jeff Goldblum plays the role of Olympic God Zeus.


The ancient Olympic Games were played within the context of a religious festival and were held in honor of Zeus, king of the Greek gods.

We see the symbol of the god Jupiter aka Zeus in the Paris 2024 Olympics logo.

One of Jeff Goldblum's biggest movies highlights The Tower.

Jeff also returned for the sequel Independence Day: Resurgence

 

The timely release of the Kaos trailer coincides with the 33rd Olympic Games which kicked off in Paris last weekend.

 

In Trump Tower I looked at how The Tower Tarot card syncs with the attempted Trump assassination in Butler, Pennsylvania on July 13th, and is subtly referenced in a few recent movie releases.

 

It's even in the Borderlands poster.

 BORDERLANDS contains the word ORDER.

The Tower Tarot card shows that source of the CHAOS is a Lighting Bolt.

 


In the Tarot deck The Tower points to a time of sudden upheaval, unexpected change and chaos.

This syncs with a few of the major headlines from the last month.

Notice that 'Chaos' was the media buzzword for July.


Trump was shot in the head on July 13th.

Then a week later, July 19th, the 'blue screen of death' created global havoc resulting in over 5000 cancelled flights, healthcare issues and payroll problems.


On July 21st Joe Biden made history by exiting the presidential race.


Then on July 26th, the day of the Paris Olympics opening ceremony, orchestrated attacks on signal boxes and optical cables caused massive disruption across the French rail network, impacting about 800,000 travelers.

 

 

After a turbulent month the Paris 2024 Olympics opening ceremony got underway and all eyes turned to The Tower.

 
After a spectacular light show the torch bearers lit 'The Olympic Cauldron' which then took to the skies of Paris on a hot air balloon.
 

The Olympic Cauldron resembles the flaming Crown on the The Tower Tarot card.
 

 

Let's look at the chaos of July from a different angle.

While googling Jeff Goldblum's new Netflix show I stumbled across this 1984 movie which shares the same name.


 Google revealed that the black bird in the Kaos poster is a Crow.

So I had a look into Crow mythology and discovered this story:

Why the crow is black? (according the the Greeks/Romans)

Apollo, the son of the most powerful greek God Zeus, had an important, albeit tumultuous relationship with crows.  The greek word for crow, corone, comes from the name of Apollo’s mistress, Coronis.

Coronis was a Thessalian princess (not an actual Goddess) and was one of the Hyades - the seven sisters of light known as the rain-makers or 'the Rainy Ones'.

Although Coronis and Apollo had been lovers, she left him to marry a mortal called Ischys. 

The crow, then white, brought news of the marriage to Apollo who became so incensed he burned the bird’s feathers (turning them black) and then burned Coronis to death.

We find reference to a burning woman in the Paris 2024 Olympics logo.

 Apollo and his (now black) Crow

 

Apollo, son of Zeus, was often depicted as a Torch Bearer.

 
 
In the Jurassic Park movies Jeff Goldblum plays the role of Dr. Ian Malcolm.

He's a Chaotician - a mathematician who specialises in Chaos Theory.

Here's a quick recap for anyone unfamiliar with it.

Jeff Goldblum also plays the 'Grandmaster' in Thor: Ragnarok.

 
 There's a lot to unpack with this Thor connection so I'm going to jump around a bit.
 
Please bare with me.
 
First thing of note is that the Grandmaster resides in a Tower overlooking his arena.
 


Goldblum recruits the God of Thunder and forces him to paticipate in the Games.
 

 If we have a quick look at Chris Hemsworth we find a direct link to Paris in MIB 4.


In this scene Chris Hemsworth climbs The Tower with actor Liam Neeson.

We see a portal open atop The Tower, reminiscent of the lightning bolt on the Tarot card.

Liam Neeson's presence hints at the source of said lightning bolt.


Moving on...Chris Hemsworth starred in this years Furiosa.

Furiosa is played by actress Anya Taylor-Joy.

Nod to the burning woman.

Anya Taylor-Joy also starred in The Witch

 The Greek word for Crow, corone, comes from Coronis.

As mentioned earlier poor Coronis was burned by the incensed Apollo, resulting in the Crow's feathers turning black.

And we all know what happened during the Witch trials.

Which brings us to Thor's brother Loki.

He's the Trickster.

 
God of Chaos.

 And he's played by actor Tom Hiddleston.

 
The High-Rise tagline is 'Ascenseur pour le chaos' 
 
Which is French for 'Elevator to Chaos'.

Tom Hiddleston also played the character Coriolanus.

Coriolanus isn't a far cry from Coronis.

If we continue with Thor then we find another reference to black feathers.

In the Thor movies actress Natalie Portman plays the role of Jane Foster.

We see her in the above poster summoning the Lightning.

The movie Annihilation culminates in a journey to this Lighthouse.

In the finale we see Natalie Portman framed by the flames of the burning Tower.

In The Tower Tarot card the flames are the result of a Lightning Bolt.

Which brings us back to Zeus, played by Russell Crowe.

 

So this got me thinking about the relevance of the Crow in regards to the chaotic events of July.


If we revisit the global IT outage which triggered 'the blue screen death' on July 19th...

...we see that the cybersecurity company responsible is called CROWDSTRIKE.

 
 
Apparently an update to the Falcon software triggered a malfunction that disabled parts of the computer systems and software like Microsoft Windows.

Then there's the Trump shooting.

The surname of gunman Thomas Matthew Crooks contains Rook.
 
On the chess board the Rook is also known as the Castle or Tower.
 

The Rook is also a member of the Crow / Corvidae family.  
 
 
Thomas Matthew Crooks attended Bethel Park high school, whose mascot is a Black Hawk.


 If we follow this thread to Josh Harnett...


Then we find that his latest movie Trap was released this month on August 2nd.


The movie revolves around an assassination attempt on the fictional performer Lady Raven.

 
On the day of the Trump shooting Crooks wore a T-shirt with an Eagle on the back.
 


Aetos Dios - the Eagle of Zeus:


The Eagle plays a key role in Kingdom of the Planet of the Apes.


The main character is called Noa.

 
Noa pronounced Noah.
 

 
 Noa is voiced by actor Owen Teague.
 

 
 We see him as a Torch Bearer in the movie Every Day.
 

 
 He's also a Torch Bearer in the movie IT.
 

 

 
Which links him to the balloon.
 

 
 Which flew over the Louvre Museum during the Paris Olympics opening ceremony.

 
This statue of Zeus and his Eagle lives inside the Louvre.
 


Which syncs with this 1987 movie called Zeus.
 

 
Actor Brandon Lee played the role of a gangster in Zeus: The Crime Killer
 
His final movie was The Crow.
 

 
 This month actor Bill Skarsgard takes over the mantle.
 
 
Just to double down on the connection Bill Skarsgard also played the villain Kro in The Eternals.


And the clown Pennywise in the movie IT.



He also starred in the latest John Wick movie.
 
Skarsgard played a French villain called Marquis.
 


 John Wick and the Marquis decide the fate of their duel in front of The Tower.


 

The Paris Olympics ends on August 11th.
 
The Crow comes out August 23rd
 
Then Kaos is released on August 29th.
 


Saying that, it looks like the chaos forecast for August has arrived early here in the UK as some of the worst rioting of the last decade took place over the weekend.



 And so it continues.
 
Hopefully things are more orderly in your neck of the woods.

Be safe and thanks for reading.

Russell Crowe turned 60 this 'Year of the Dragon', which is 5 cycles of the Chinese zodiac (5 Rings?).
Jupiter takes approximately 12 years (or one cycle of the Chinese zodiac) to orbit the sun.
Jeff Goldblum is also a Dragon and turns 72 this year, which is 6 cycles of the Chinese zodiac :-)

A little late but something. Advertising for the movie Tomorrowland included the Hyperion balloon from the movie The Island At the Top of the World. The Hyperion is piloted by a Frenchman, who yells Vive La France as he jumps off the balloon doing the hanged man.
In Tommorrowland, the secret society Plus Ultra is formed at the top of the Eiffel Tower, and is a reference to a meeting between Eiffel and Edison on September 10, 1889. Sky Captain and the World of Tomorrow is full of zeppelin balloons in New York.

The Simpsons references the Hindenburg crash multiple times, the first time is the balloon next to the triangle tower of Pink Floyd. It is said to be a poster of Led Zepellin 1, which features the song Dazed and Confused. The movie Dazed and Confused has the character Randall "Pink" Floyd. The second time the hindenburg appears in the episode Dog of Death is during an A Clockwork Orange sequence. Something about the Dog Daze of Summer.
