Winnipeg begins at "97 West" encoding within the value of its name a nod to the rest of Canada to its East and the UK at "0°00′00″E".
By international convention, the modern Prime Meridian passes through the Royal Observatory, Greenwich (at 51°28′38″N 0°00′00″E (Greenwich Observatory)), in southeast London, United Kingdom, known as the International Meridian or Greenwich Meridian.
Below (east of) 97 West begins with 96 96° W also falls within the borders of the province of Manitoba.
After Robin is told his true history by Sir Walter Loxley, that his father was a stonemason and a philosopher (essentially the historical progenitors of modern "Freemasonry") and that Sir Walter and Sir William lost him as a child, Robin goes to speak on behalf of Sir Walter to King John...
When Robin speaks for Sir Walter Locksley (Loxley) he proposes a charter of freedoms and liberties... to which King John gives his word shall be written...
If you zoom out a bit you might notice the resemblace of the Fisher Bay preserve area of Lake Winnipeg to a boot or big foot.
Under the north-gazing Watchful Eye of MERCURY (aka the Greek Hermes)...
... and ROBIN is, of course, a Longstride (Longitude)
Stefan from the Sync Whole astutely notes that ROBIN's HOOD = "Robin’s 42" (HOOD = 8+15+15+4 = 42)
... and I'll add to Stefan's observation that the difference between ROBIN and HOOD is "16" or 4 squared (4^2).
... and ROBIN'S = 77, the height in meters of the Golden Boy's TORCH.
... and ROBIN HOOD (the ARCHer), Mr Russell Crowe himself, may also recall that he once attended our Event evening at a former investment of mine, that was at the time called: 'Green Gates' located at 6945 ROBLIN BLVD in Headingley, Manitoba R4H 1A2
One of this blog's famous floWers of inspiration, SHAKIRA is making NEWS again...
and sadly I don't have too much free time these days (until the Fall!) to develop articles as much as I'd like, but this topic deserves a special mention! (and on the CANCER / Keystone resonating date of 6/9, no less! The symbol for the Zodiac sign of Cancer is a 69.)
(SIDE NOTE: BAD form to have a side note before we even begin... but hey... Jake/Jim: the Star ball into the "pontiac chevron" for a "Star Cup" if you look close)
SHAKIRA, the She Wolf (floW), has written and released the official theme song for the 2010 FIFA World Cup, live from sync-maestro and Winnipeg transplant, Jake Kotze's native land of South Africa and more specifically the District 9 city of Johannesburg (JOHN/OANNES/ION City).
(SIDE NOTE: my apologies to those Gulf States readers if that reminds you of the "Prawns biz" lost to the recent Deepwater HoRizon tragedy bleeding oil into the Gulf)
I found it interesting that the "Urban Dictionary" lists a modern western term "WAKKA-WAKKA" as
1. peace to you, war to you 2. good to you, bad to you This phrase is most ordinarily used in times of complete confusion, when there is nothing else one could say, especially for those who regularly have panic attacks. Thus, it is really a nonsensical phrase that actually has a meaning and its meaning does not have to actually be the above, but a similar arrangement of positive wishes to others, followed by its antonymical negative wish. e.g. gumbo to you, nutra rat stew to you.
The closest translation to English of the African phrase "Waka-Waka" is "Do it". Like the meaning of the phrase in the NIKE "Just Do It" campaign...
Zaminamina (Tsamina mina and tsangalewa / "Zamina Mina Zangalewa Eh Eh"), another phrase she uses throughout the song, "TsaMINa MINa" also apparently means "Come", and the full phrase could translate from the african (Cameroonian language called "Fang" - so very appropriate for the "She wolF"!) to "Where do you Come From?" / "Where are you from?"
(Perhaps JAKE himself will comment and fill us in on any deeper meanings behind the phrases.)
(SIDE NOTE: Disney's movie "The Lion King" featured samples of the 1986 "Golden Sounds / Zangalewa" original "Tsamina Mina Zangalewa" song eventually reworked by SHAKIRA and Freshlyground into the 2010 World Cup theme song. The Original song was apparently a tribute to African fighters in World War 2. "W"aka - "W"aka A.A.)
You might also note that the video opens on the word "ASTER" (A Star/ASTARTE/ISHTAR) of "MasterCard" and the first player is wearing the #3 PUMA jersey. Puma of course is also known as the "mountain Lion!" Mountain = Mount TIN, Olympus and mountain of Zeus/Jupiter - (from the metal TIN associated with the planet and alchemical symbol for Jupiter) if you've been keeping up at the Synch Whole blog
ISHTAR and ZEUS (in a song and video by SHAKIRA / Shekhinah) gives us both the "Queen and King of Heaven".
Ishtar from the Louvre, Paris, France:
"2010 - The Year WE make Contact" the human child, A Star (Ishtar) and Jupiter (Zeus)...
Now that you've enjoyed the heavenly pop-culture goddess SHAKIRA, awakening the dark continent of the hEart (Heart/Earth)
(A Parting NOTE: the video for SHAKIRA's "Waka Waka (This Time for Africa)" opens on the jersey #16 (in goal) which is 4 squared or 4^2! Combine it with the next appearing jersey #3 and the 2010 World Cup games in Johannesburg/"John's Town" and you get "JOHN 3:16")
Shakira, the Colombian singer well known for her dancing as well as her efforts to promote early childhood education, visited a South African school Wednesday ahead of the Thursday concert kicking off soccer's World Cup, aiming to bring attention to 1Goal: Education for All -- and to rock the Waka Waka, the official World Cup dance.
Students at the Isu-lihle primary school in Soweto, Johannesburg, got to meet the "Hips Don't Lie" singer and give the Waka Waka a whirl. (read the rest of the story at LA Times and another on the subject at YAHOO!)
Remember, the World Cup Kick-Off Celebration Concert, featuring SHAKIRA, will be shown live online at worldcup.vevo.com at June 10 at 2:00 p.m. ET/NYC time (click here to find out what time that is where you are).

UPDATE 2: 6/10/10
Congrats to the NHL's Stanley Cup winners the Chicago Blackhawks, #88 Patrick KANE (scored winning goal) and Winnipeg's son (and Team Captain), Jonathan Toews - CONN SMYTHE MVP trophy winner.
The last time the Chicago Blackhawks won the Stanley CUP (in 1961) ... Ab McDonald of Winnipeg scored the winning goal!
If you didn't catch the 1961 reference, 44th USA President Barack Obama, (Former senator from Chicago, Ill.) with relatives in Kenya, Africa, was born August 4, 1961. (The President's father, Barack Obama, Sr., was from Nyang’oma Kogelo, Nyanza Province, Kenya Colony.)
Also in 1961: Yuri Gagarin and Alan Shepard became the first Soviet and American in SPACE!
Madonna [51yrs old] has supposedly taken a shine to a new man, just days after splitting from 23 year-old squeeze Jesus Luz. She's apparently set to ask 24-year-old Spanish model Jon Kortajarena out on a date, after clapping eyes on him at a New York film premiere recently (Daily Star).
The Kabbalah Queen, Madonna [aka Esther / Madge] apparently met JON at the New York,NY film premiere of 'A Single Man'
A Single Man is a 2009 American drama film based on the novel of the same name by Christopher Isherwood. It was directed by fashion designer Tom Ford, who, as a first-time director, had to finance it himself. The film stars Colin Firth as the protagonist George Falconer, a British university professor living in Southern California in 1962. The film places emphasis on the clothes and architecture of the 1960s; the production design is by the same team that designed the TV series Mad Men, which is set in the same era.
The film premiered on September 11, 2009 at the 66th Venice International Film Festival and went on the film festival circuit. After it screened at the 2009 Toronto International Film Festival, The Weinstein Company picked it up for distribution in the United States and Germany. An initial limited run in the U.S. was planned for December 2009 to qualify it for the 82nd Academy Awards with a wider release planned for early 2010
Possibly means "star" in Persian. Alternatively it could be a derivative of the name of the Near Eastern goddess ISHTAR. The Book of Esther in the Old Testament tells the story of Queen Esther, the Jewish wife of the king of Persia who saved the Jews of the realm from extermination. Her original Hebrew name was Hadassah. This name has been used in the English-speaking world since the Protestant Reformation. In America it received a boost in popularity after the birth of Esther Cleveland (1893-1980), the daughter of president Grover Cleveland.
Star in Persian, Jews in Persia... Ancient Persia is modern Iran.
Saint Joachim ("he whom YHWH has set up", Hebrew: יְהוֹיָקִים Yəhôyāqîm, Greek Ἰωακείμ Iōākeím) was the husband of Saint Anne and the father of Mary, the mother of Jesus, and therefore is ascribed the title of "forebearer of God", in the Roman Catholic, Orthodox, and Anglican traditions. The story of SS. Joachim and Anne appears in the apocryphal Gospel of James.
The canonical Gospel accounts in the New Testament do not explicitly name either of Mary's parents, but some argue that the genealogy in Luke 3 is that of Mary rather than Joseph, thereby naming her father as Eli (Heli). Later traditions, however, specify that this Eli was a first cousin of Mary's father Joachim.
Immediately after publishing the Madonna portion of this article above, I thought I'd check out the latest headlines over at Matt Drudge's Place - drudgereport.com
Sure enough I find this page and these top-level headlines there:
Aside from several others which I won't mention at this time, the main headline from Drudge Report about the Rio de Janeiro heatwave syncs to:
"Madonna met the model Jesus Luz on a photo shoot for 'W Magazine' in Rio de Janeiro"
Immediately after posting the above portion of this article .... I spotted the headline.
(Christopher Knowles pointed out on his blog (The Secret Sun) that in the world of synch, "Timing is Everything!")
Of all the sites on the Internet that I could possibly have visited immediately [first] after publishing the above article, I went to Drudge Report which had a headline related to the information I was just moments before dealing with... That is the perfect example of synchronicity.
(UPDATE) BONUS SYNC #2:
Sure enough, also today Feb.11,2010, Drudge Report now features the announcement that Iran (Persia) is a Nuclear State (meaning has enough enriched fissile material for a nuclear weapon).
Those familiar with Mid-East geopolitics should know that such a scenario has been the fear of Israel for quite some time - Iran and President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad has threatened Israel with annihilation several times in recent years.
Here's the Drudge Report main page:
and Here's the page that the Drudge Report headline links to:
[dailymail.co.uk]
and who makes an appearance on that page (see the purple highlighted area on the right)... Yep! You guessed it... MADONNA (and Jesus Luz and RIO) Nice GATE too!
- You might also notice our Hulu alien, 30 Rock man, Alec Baldwin [ABe] also pops into that page. (Alec appears with Steve Martian [sic] in my Olympics and Oscars article from earlier this month)
Jaques: "All the world's a stage, And all the men and women merely players; They have their exits and their entrances, And one man in his time plays many parts, His acts being seven ages.".
Is it just me, or do these symbols bear some resemblance to one another???:
looking into an odd "Cocaine / BLOW / SNOW" meme stream that seems tied-in to Valentine's Day, The 2010 Olympics and was embedded in the following TV programs broadcast on 2.11.2010)
- Alec Baldwin's "Overdose" and reports - Bill Clinton's "Heart Attack" and reports - Alexander McQueen's "Suicide/Hanging" and reports - The Mentalist (37/14 - air: 2.11.2010 - "Blood in, Blood Out") - Supernatural (96/14 - air: 2.11.2010 - "My Bloody Valentine") - Colbert Report (air: 2.12.2010) - Bones (90/6 - air: 2.11.2010 *repeat* - "The Tough Man in the Tender Chicken") - 30 Rock (71/13 - air: 2.11.2010 - "Anna Howard Shaw Day") - TMZ (air: 2.11.2010)
- Every major Canadian newspaper reporting many recent cases of serious illness, heart attacks and death from use of cocaine tainted with the veterinary drug, Levamisole
- Every major USA Newspaper reporting on the Major USA SNOW Storm.
It's a VERY odd one indeed - and it's flowing in from all angles and angels.
BLOW = Inhale? BLOW = BeLOW? (more Underworld?)
To illustrate, the following picture was published as it appears below by the Daily Mail (dailymail.co.uk) on 2.11.2010:
Above: Alexander McQueen and Isabella BLOW (2005)
Pic is from DailyMail.co.uk which states: "Paramedics were called to his flat, in a six-storey redbrick building near Hyde Park, shortly after 10am but McQueen, whose full name was Lee Alexander McQueen, was pronounced dead at the scene.
No suicide note was found."
... read MUCH more about Lee Alexander McQueen's death at DailyMail.co.uk
(UPDATE @ 1:14 AM 2.12.2010)
Britney SPEARS, was photographed by TMZ paparazzi taking a test drive in a black Maserati.
Britney once kissed Madonna during an awards show. Britney was/is also involvede in Kabbalah with Madonna.
Maserati uses the TRIDENT logo (in Blue and Red on Wikipedia)
The trident is also the WE3M / SHIN / PSI spinner character.
UPDATE SIDE NOTE:
CNN Reports that Bill Clinton, UN Special Envoy to Haiti, wanted everyone to wear Red and Blue this Friday 2.12.2010 in honor of Haiti (HADES)
The following movie "Crane vs. TIGER" by Alexander McQueen (died 2.11.2010) and Nick Knight and PUMA.com is set to be released: (Previewed at New York Fashion Week which just opened on 2.11.2010 )
C-R-ANE (See Our ANI/Annie?)
Alexander McQueen's Twitter page (from Dailymail.co.uk)
On February 3rd, he wrote: 'I'm letting my followers know my mother passed away yesterday if it she had not me nor would you RIP mumxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx...'
Moments later, he added: 'But life must go on!!!!!!!!!!!!!!' Then on Sunday, he said: 'Sunday evening been a ****ing awful week but my friends have been great but now i have to some how pull myself together and finish with the HELLS ANGLES & PROLIFIC DEAMONS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!'
He appeared to have recovered slightly by this week. His final message, posted on Tuesday, said: 'I'm here with my girl annie tinkerbell wishing kerry the **** happy birthday in NY, your 40 now girl time to slow it down we think.'

Lenox Hill (Lenton OX / Le Nox) Again... Flier: I was water deboarded By LEONARD GREENE Posted: 4:12 AM, February 15, 2010
It wasn't what the doctor ordered.
A Manhattan surgeon said he was booted off a plane at La Guardia Airport yesterday after he asked for water for his pregnant wife when the cabin overheated.
Mitchell Roslin, of Lenox Hill Hospital, said he, his family and about 200 other passengers were stuck on the tarmac for more than two hours after the Spirit Airlines plane experienced engine trouble that made it difficult to ventilate the cabin.
Roslin -- who was traveling to Fort Lauderdale, Fla., with his two kids and seven-months-pregnant wife -- said passengers weren't allowed to leave the plane and were refused water.

Roslin -- who was traveling to Fort Lauderdale, Fla., with his two kids and seven-months-pregnant wife -- said passengers weren't allowed to leave the plane and were refused water.
Flight attendants told him that it was "against corporate policy" to give out water before the plane took off and that they did not have "company approval," Roslin said.
When Roslin persisted, he was asked to leave the plane, he said. His wife, their son, 9, and daughter, 11, got off with him.
He blasted the discount airline, saying, "I guess you get what you pay for.
"I refuse to accept that people can't have a moral compass to give out water."

Strange Eye is an independant and not-for-profit blog. It is not aligned with nor supported by ANY group, organization, cult, sect, religion or otherwise. It exists with an open mind to explore, enjoy, ponder, postulate and speculate about events occuring around us all.
Welcome to you new Strange Eye readers from around the globe who have made your way to this blog and are looking around going "what the heck is this stuff all about??"
In a sentence, Strange Eye is a Jungian Synchronicity and Semiotic Observance and Research blog.
But What does that Mean??
it means that at this Strange Eye blog, we consider even the smallest or singular events of daily life as connected to and expressions of the bigger picture of ALL existence. The articles build upon each other in progression, none truly stand alone here.
The Strange Eye motto would be - if ever there was such a motto - ALL for ONE and ALL IS ONE.
While reading "Strange Eye" you may come to see the repeated expression of the belief that WE are all intimately connected parts of the Whole of Existence... that WE are part of and ONE with the UNIVERSE - and not just in it!
Because of this, WE are all able to experience and observe the workings of the UNIVERSE through semiotics and Synchronicity - from the macrocosmic to the microscopic - and through the witnessing of these events and workings, come to better understand our own existence and the active parts we play in creating it.
So Welcome, explore the blog archives, read, comment, post your synchs... and may you recognize and feel the synchronicities and spirit floW... strong and clear - and may you truly experience, on a deeply personal level, the beauty of the design hidden behind the machinations of everyday life.
~SE~

"There are no jokes in synchromysticism, even when there are!" - Strange Eye (2009)
Penelope, the Queene, when she had view'd The strange eye-dazeling, admirable sight, Faine would have praisd the state and pulchritude, But she was stricken dumbe with wonder quite, Yet her sweet minde retain'd her thinking might ; Her rauisht minde in heaunly thoughts did dwel, But what she thought, no mortall tongue can tel.
