Based on the best-selling novel by Thomas Harris, HANNIBAL continues the story begun in Silence of the Lambs. Seven years have passed since Dr. Hannibal Lecter (Anthony Hopkins) escaped from custody, seven years since FBI Agent Clarice Starling (Julianne Moore) interviewed him in a maximum-security hospital for the criminally insane. The doctor is now at large in Europe, pursuing his own interests, savoring the scents, the essences of the unguarded world. But Starling has never forgotten her encounters with Dr. Lecter -- his seldom-used voice still haunts her dreams. Mason Verger (Gary Oldman) remembers Dr. Lecter, too, and is obsessed with revenge. Verger was Dr. Lecter's sixth victim, and though hideously disfigured, has survived. In order to draw Dr. Lecter into the open, Verger uses Clarice Starling as bait.

Some filming of Hannibal was filmed at Biltmore Estate in North Carolina. Mr.(Mason) Verger, Hannibal Lecter's sixth victim, who survived but is horribly disfigured owns the estate and plots revenge on Hannibal, to include having Hannibal delivered to a PIG FARM and fed to animals trained to eat humans.

One who has seen the movie also cannot forget the dinner scene with Hannibal and Clarice and Ray Liotta's character. Its a Hopkins performance I won't forget.

Qanteen Report

*After reading the synopsis of “Hannible” by Cats PJs, texokie, who is still processing last night’s Q drops, decides to spend some time today in the LexiQon office researching and writing - despite the current Q Flurry.

She makes sure the cube steaks are bubbling properly on the back burner of the industrial sized stove. They are lightly breaded with only a dusting of low carb flour, (combo of tapioca and coconut) and are set to simmer in a light gravy for two hours. Other FReeQs have volunteered to mind them.

The large crock pots on the counter contain slow-cooking soups, a crockpot spinach soufflé, and some au gratin potatoes. A large tossed salad is prepared and sitting in the fridge. We still have a few pies left over from Wneighbor’s not-so-crazy-aunt, and there are 4 boxes of eclairs also in the fridge which a FReeQ with a majorly shameful pastry sweet tooth brought in - and which most of us applaud! [Digging these bunny holes burns a LOT of calories! LOL!] Fresh and abundant covfefe and sammiches are available, along with popcorn and vegetable trays and dips of many kinds.

Before gratefully settling with her laptop in one of the large easy chairs in the corner of the LexiQon office which Swordmaker is providing for LexiQon staff, along with the walnut research table, she pauses in the hall and listens a little bit to the ‘Chop Sticks’ being played on the Steinweigh. She then walks down the Qanteen hall past the Oracle and LexiQon offices, and enters the Qanteen Quiet Room. The Qanteen hall, though wide and spacious, is NOTHING like that portrayed in Cats PJ’s post 1133.

She enters the Qanteen Quiet Room quietly, as one might expect, because other FReeQs are already there working with their personal Bibles and devotional materials.

Someone has opened the window, and today the lake is quiet too. There is a dock at the edge of the Qanteen property, to the viewer’s left, as one peers out the window. Some FReeQs are sitting on the dock fishing, others are swimming, and all are talking softly about the current Q flurry we are in. Each of them have at the ready their phones or laptops - in waterproof containers for the highly energetic activity required of dedicated FReeQs these days.

texokie notices that above the U.S. flag to the right of the window, someone has placed eight 5x7, 4x6, and billfold sized framed prints of several photos into a stunning and inspiring wall grouping, which include:

1. The iconic heart wrenching picture taken following the OKC Bombing of the Fireman with the Baby in His Arms

On the wall to the left of the bay window, there is now an 8x10 framed picture of the Lord Jesus surrounded by children, with happy approving onlooking adults.

The table in front of the bay window still has Jenny Moore’s and Seth Rich’s framed pictures. Added to them is also the framed picture of Nole Edward Remagen.

texokie retrieves her devotional materials from the cubby, takes a seat and bows her head*

[Please let me know via Freep Mail if you want on or off the texokie ping list]

*texokie goes into the LexiQon office and begins her researches by looking at her Comments page - reviews the Cats PJ’s 1133. Sits up straight and pads down the hall to find her*

Been re-reading your Hannible post, 1133, Cats PJs, and reviewing in my mind the story of “Silence of the Lambs.”

The dime just dropped, and I realize that now we know several reasons why that sick piece of human debris portrayed in that book and movie used the death moth. I never “got” the evil logic regarding the use of the killer. In addition to it being a specific moth, it looks like a butterfly.

* Name of the specific Moth invokes thught/image of death, “Death Head”
* Is a reminder of Death and Resurrection symbology of the butterfly -Butterflies are legitimately used as a Christian resurrection symbol which has been perverted by satanists - (fake resurrection with stolen blood rather than the Blood of the Risen Christ - adrenochrome, anyone?)
2. Butterfly/Moth - Pedo love symbol
3. Moth in the mouth - “Shushing” symbol - death if secrets spoken

As Q says, the symbols will be their downfall.

*texokie turns around after being comforted by Cats PJs and other FReeQs, bypasses the LexiQon office again, and finds her way back to the quiet room*

Death’s-head hawkmoth

The name death’s-head hawkmoth refers to any one of the three moth species of the genus Acherontia. The former species is found primarily in Europe, the latter two are Asian; most uses of the common name refer to the European species. These moths are easily distinguishable by the vaguely human skull-shaped pattern of markings on the thorax. All three species are fairly similar in size, coloration, and life cycle....

[texokie note: Several other authors have used this moth in their work, including Edgar Allen Poe.]
