Coronation of the Uncanny . . .

 

Hard to believe I’m devoting not just one (see this) but two posts to a long-winded, gold and chrome filled, antediluvian ritual, the so-called “crowning” of WEF- and pedo-loving “King Charles III.” On Saturday, watching him, with great effort and physical unsureness getting onto and off that throne, I actually started to feel sorry for the guy; he’s wanted so long to achieve his life’s dream, and had to wait until he’s 74!

On Saturday, I found myself mesmerized by the lock-step nature of especially the amassed, costumed “troops.” And saw it as a metaphor for the covid con that tried to force the whole world into lockstep (and, unfortunately, mostly succeeded, so eager are humans to follow the herd — even off the cliff!). I did notice however, but then decided to ignore, some weird anomalies, where the lock-step wasn’t thoroughly followed. Like the time I saw a uniformed guy walk from the left to the back, behind the rows of uniforms just like his. And when he got there he went through formal “lock step” of stamping (I think it was) his right foot, then whirling around (I think it was clockwise) to end up front again, only then settling into standing. Then, less than one minute later, another uniformed guy came from the right to the back, to stand next to the other, casually, without the formal stamp and twirl.

And I did wonder what that meant. Was the first guy just adding his own little flourish to the august occasion? Or was the second guy deliberately flouting the rules, as evidenced by the first guy knowing them.

Then there was the total weirdness of the figure in a hooded black cloak and holding what appears as a scythe, coming out of nowhere from right, walking left, disappearing into nowhere. Instantly, it went viral, and got a name, GRIM REAPER, on alt-media, social media, and MSM.

This morning I came across a remarkable substack essay by Naomi Wolf, who, unlike me, was looking for anomalies, and found them, many of them. Her attitude toward all the shapeless white dresses on royals was especially arresting.

Weird Things about King Charles Coronation

I appreciate Wolf’s perspective on “the coronation,” as yet one more pageant (see half-time shows at the oscars, sports games, etc.) that draws the world’s attention to the subtle or blatant dismembering, pulling apart, inverting, contradicting, slightly scrambling, of long- held and therefore long-stabilized traditions on our unwitting way to the transhumanist transmogrification of flesh-and-blood, ensouled humanity into pavlovian robots.

The entire essay, and with great photos, is well worth your time. Here’s how it ends:

Interesting, her use of the word “weird” in the title. Hearkens back to the “grim reaper” (above) which, like me, Wolf, likely, had not seen when she posted her piece on what she also calls “the uncanny.”
