Article shows how the notion that the anthrax killer was a "home-grown" terrorist was concocted and spread by Marxist professor Barabara Hatch Rosenberg, who stole her theory from a TV series.
the Black Virgin coming to Clare in a boat appears to be a reference to a legend cocerning a mysterious boat without oars that docked in Bologne Sur Mer, France during the reign of Dagobert I. On board was a statue of the Virgin Mary holding the Child Jesus in her left arm.
The boat that came to France was holding Mary Magdeline, who was pregnant with Jesus child. This was long before Dagobert I. Thus the real Holy Grail, or San Graal was Mary's womb holding the blood of Jesus in the form of their child. The authors theorise as do other scholars that Jesus couldn't have been a Rabbi without being married.
After Jesus death, Paul (a misogynist) came along and took away the teachings of Jesus from James the brother of Jesus and drastically changed Jesus' message and began preaching his own message instead.
Thus we have the incarnation of the roman catholic church, a man oriented religion that deleted MM's part in Jesus life and/or changed her into a whore.
In Leonardo DV's Last Supper the person on Jesus left as you look at the painting is Mary Magdeline. Paul did not like it that Jesus let Mary M. become an apostle. The other apostles questioned him about why he liked her better than them and why he kissed her on the mouth. Paul set out to completely destroy Mary Magdeline's part of Jesus work.
The black virgins were made after Mary M. got to Marseilles, the people there knew who and what she was and she was revered. Most of the black virgins have disappeared in the last few decades.
The Cathars believed in this and were burnt to death for their beliefs by the RC church.
The reason she left after Jesus died was to save the life of their child. The Merovingian's were supposedly of the bloodline of Jesus.
Leonardo DV was allegedly a Nautonier of the Priory of Sion. As were many famous men after the renassaince.
Anyway, that's the books theory. Forgive my spelling.
Do you think someone told them to stop this theme? I mean the idea that MM was Jesus wife is anathema in today's christian culture.
I am sure that it will be re-run in the States, and hope that by that time, I'll have a cable subscription and a VCR.
As for the second vs. the third season, my memory is unfortunately not as clear as I wish it were (especially re Season 2), but I can still remember to some degree a number of great shows from both of those seasons.
Season Two:
St. Sebastien's Hand
The show in which Frank finds a killing factory on a deserted (Midwestern?) farm, and determines that it is run by the Millennium Group.
The show in which either (that 'ol memory hole) the estranged Frank and Catherine are separately recruited by a millenarian, Nazi group, or Catherin is unwittingly recruited, and Frank does in to save her.
Another Nazi angle (perhaps the same story arc, in a second or third episode) in which the Nazis -- led by old Nazis -- are seeking some sort of Holy Grail artifact, the possession of which will give them control of the New Millennium.
The second season finale, with the anthrax-type plague unleashed. At the time, the show suggested that it was the end of the world. But at the beginning of the third season, we learned that it has only been released in the pacific Northwest. I'm now wondering if Carter had produced the season finale under a cloud, believing the show might now be renewed. Then, when the show was renewed, he had to re-write the outcome of the previous season.
Thanks.
It was pretty sweet when the Millennium Group wiped them out.
Yes it was -- I remember a big explosion.
Frank's daughter, Jordan, had had such an experience, when she'd contracted meningitis two years earlier in Seattle. But that was before the anthrax-like plague hit, and her mother let Jordan get the only antidote Frank had.
At one point, Frank confronts the angel, "Her mother died, so that she could live." "Did she?" counters the skeptical death angel.
"This isn't fair!" Frank argues with the angel. "She's the only good thing that ever happened to me! My wife died, so that she could live! She chose." "Did she?" responds the doubting angel.
Later, with Jordan in respiratory arrest, her lungs gushing with water, Frank, who never prays, shouts to the heavens, Job-like, "I tried, oh God, I tried! I did everything you asked of me. No expectations. I'm begging, don't take her away from me!"
Hearing Frank, the angel drowns in Jordan's stead.
Minutes later, Jordan tells Frank, "I saw Mommy.... Mommy said she's fine. And she said to tell you, she chose. She made the right choice. I don't know what that means."
"It means she loved you very, very much," Frank reassures her.
LOL. I thought people might respond to "Dr. Strangelove" AND Millennium. Whatever. In any event, I'm certainly pleased to have found other Millennium fans.
One of the secrets of Millennium's greatness, I think, was that its writer-producers wholly forsook the cartoonish psuedo-scientific explanations they used in The X-Files, opting instead for consistently millennarian religious explanations for everything. And their theology was much better, and much more dramatically captivating, than their "science."
Yet another episode I'd forgotten. The good part is, tha wen I see the series again, I'll be seeing some episodes for the first time, and will be enjoying others as if I were seeing them for the first time.
LOL! When you say "feature length," do you mean that it ran for 90 or 120 minutes? If so, it might have been two or three episodes edited into one long one.
Sorry, but I don't know. I'm not sure if I saw the episode in question. Elements from thre description sound familiar, but also similar to more than one episode I saw. is the theory that Jesus married Mary Magdalen a gnostic tradition?
BTW my favorite episode was a Christmas story about Frank's mother (who also saw angels) and Frank re-uniting with his Dad--and his Dad giving Frank a ceramic angel for Jordan whom he had never seen--and Jordan and Frank can see the souls of the dead (including Frank's dad) walking to Church on Christmas Eve?
I had forgotten all about that episode until you mentioned it. I remember just the parts you mentioned, especially the souls walking to church. That must have been from the second season -- otherwise, it would have been more clear in my memory. I wonder who played Frank's father -- possibly the late Darren McGavin (aka Kolchak, the Night Stalker, a Chris Carter favorite)?
I think you just did. Whom do we have to write? Fox? Chris Carter?
