Harry Potter, the Fourth Pope
(Conspiracy Nation, 07/11/07) – In “Three Apostolic Successions” (http://www.shout.net/~bigred/ThreePopes.html), Conspiracy Nation outlined three possible “Apostolic Successions”: (1) From Jesus, to Peter, and thereon the Popes; (2) From Simon Magus, to Meander, and leading to the Gnostics; and (3) From John the Baptist, to the Nazareans (a.k.a. Mendaeans), and smuggled into Europe by the Knights Templar.
Also asked in “Three Apostolic Successions” was, Will the real Pope please stand up?
For the past month, the local newspaper, the Champaign-Urbana News-Gazette, has printed, daily, on the front page, as supposed “news” item, a “Countdown to Harry Potter.” Please forward to the Conspiracy Nation editor information on any similar “Countdown to Harry Potter” supposed “news” items in your own local newspaper. (Contact info: Due to prolonged “spooky attack,” contact this editor via the alt.conspiracy newsgroup. Use subject heading of, “Old Hollow Tree Stump.”)
How is it that, daily, as supposed “news” item, a local newspaper can prominently display a “Countdown to Harry Potter”? Conspiracy Nation has previously reported upon the insidious “Buzz Marketing,” where advertisements are disguised as being something else. (“PS3 Mania Is 'Buzz Marketing'?” http://www.shout.net/~bigred/PS3Buzz.html)
In “Three Apostolic Successions” (op. cit.), the sorcery powers of Jesus were discussed. These sorcery powers were passed along to Peter. Peter later had a “sorcery showdown” with Simon Magus. So, it is worth noting that “Harry Potter” also reportedly has such sorcery powers.
Locally, last evening, at midnight (and matching the magical “7/11” date), the new Harry Potter movie premiered here. Naturally, this premiere was given a front-page headline spread, in the Champaign-Urbana News-Gazette.
But seeming to forestall the Harry Potter elevation of 7/11, Pope Benedict XVI invoked some counter-sorcery of his own. Raining on the Potter Parade, Pope Benedict XVI released a document on July 10th proclaiming the Catholic Church to be “the only true church.” This means, in other words, “Harry Potter is not the Pope. I, Benedict, am the Pope.”
The sorcery wars continue! Has a fourth Pope entered the arena? Stay tuned for further developments.
