JFK, The Wounded King

(Conspiracy Nation, 01/06/08) -- The former Minnesota governor, Jesse Ventura, scorns the idea that Lee Harvey Oswald was the lone nut assassin of President John F. Kennedy (JFK). While governor, Ventura visited Dallas, Texas, site of the 1963 "wounding of the king." A policeman reportedly warned Ventura, "to avoid talking too much about 'things that certain people don't want brought to light.'" ("Vintage Ventura on display in new book," AP.

The former Navy Seal also reportedly reveals in a new book that, "there is a CIA operative inside every state government. ... In Minnesota, this person was at a deputy commissioner level, fairly high up." Ventura writes, "In our country, there is a certain ruling class that won't give up the power. I know I had to be destroyed because of what I represented and how I got elected. There was a ripple of fright that what happened in Minnesota could be a trend."

In the old Grail stories, Anfortas is the Wounded King (image above). He cannot die but must suffer from his wound until a Knight asks a certain question: "Dear Uncle, what ails you?" John F. Kennedy also cannot truly die until a similar question is satisfactorily answered: "Who killed you?"

Ever since the wounding of the king, Britain had suffered from enchantments. Enchantments here is meant in a negative sense of illusion and evil sorcery. Ever since the JFK assassination, America also has suffered from enchantments. Until the proper question is asked, the land will not be made whole again.

Some brave Knights here have attempted the Quest: they have Questioned. Overall, however, the people remained silent, or even lied. They did not want to be ridiculed. They did not want their careers to be damaged. Many mysterious deaths of witnesses occurred. In general, the people were not worthy, and so the Grail went away.

In 1960, a musical play called "Camelot" was enormously popular. That was also the year John F. Kennedy was elected president. The Kennedy White House began to be called "Camelot." Camelot is part of the Grail lore, connected with King Arthur and his Knights of the Round Table. The hit song from the Broadway musical became the unofficial theme song of the Kennedy administration. It contained JFK's favorite lyrics from the show: "Don't let it be forgot, that once there was a spot, for one brief, shining, moment, that was known as Camelot." ("The Camelot Myth," http://www.wosu.org/archive/jfk/myth.php)

Camelot as a place is associated with ideals like justice, bravery and truth, the virtues Arthur and his knights embody in the romances. In Camelot, the Knights saw a vision of the Holy Grail and swore to find it. (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Camelot)

The King was wounded. An evil magician, Klingsor, placed enchantments on the land. The people were told, "There is no 'Truth.' The Truth is relative." Ideals were paid lip service, but everyone knew ideals were for suckers. And Camelot became a wasteland.

In his inaugural speech of January 20, 1961, Kennedy had said, "the rights of man come not from the generosity of the state, but from the hand of God." Then, after the wounding of the king, Klingsor began to say the rights of man were "entitlements," a gift from the state which could be withdrawn at any time -- for instance, if there were "terrorists."

The state began to torture people. Some were crowded into prisons for trivial "crimes," like smoking various plant products. Elections became a sham.

An initiatory secret is encoded in the Grail legend. At certain moments, the celestial writing appears around the rim of the Grail, explaining how it must transpire with the one who comes to attain the Grail: He must be the son of a widow who arrives at Savage Mountain by chance, without any intention of seeking the place, and without understanding his mission beforehand. Being a naive, unsocialized fool qualifies him to attain the Grail, but, at the same time, it hampers him from asking the right question that leads to this attainment. Moreover, the writing on the Grail declares that no one in the noble company may assist or prompt the young knight in any way. He must come out of his own resources to the point of asking the Grail king, "Uncle, what ails thee?" ("The Wounding of the Grail King," http://www.metahistory.org/WoundingKing.php)

Parzifal, the "fool," does at last ask the Question. But he receives no answer. The answer to what ails the king is encoded, writes John Lash ("Wounding of the Grail King," op. cit.), in an interlaced adventure, that of Gawain. A poisoned spear had wounded the king, it is revealed.

But because Anfortas "had remained in bitter agony [not resting in peace] so long and the Question was withheld from him for such a time, the members of the Gral Company are now forever averse to questioning, they do not wish to be asked about themselves." ("Parzival", by Wolfram von Eschenbach. Chapter 16.) The U.S. government does not wish to be asked about itself. The Question remains unanswered. And the land still suffers from enchantments on this day, January 6th, 2008. Dear Uncle, what ails you?
