I'm sure he's not but, hey, I'm fucking pissed cause he didn't give me any stock for spray painting his car, the bitch.
Anyway...
Yesterday, I semi-innocently required if Steve Jobs, he that is now dead but was always spiritual, created the touchscreen swipe UI, now resident on hundreds of millions of personal devices, explicitly to get us all to make the sign of the cross -- up down right left -- over and over and over.
A sort of new-Christian, possibly divine, mystical ritual. The final transformational shift; a path of escape from our daily, hectic, non-spiritual lives by a man keen on creating just such shifts and opening up just such paths.
Probably it's just nothing. A coincidence.
But I don't want to think that. I want to think this 'sign of the iPhone' is one more globe-spanning hack that Jobs created and cleverly implanted deep in our subconsciousness.
Because, you know, that's how I like to think.
Reader Eugene (@eugenescherba), however, has decided to keep me up all night considering the Facebook logo:
It's an F, right?
Or is it? There's a near-infinite ways of making an F/f but this logo is less an F and more a...(wait for it) bent cross.
Does a bent cross mean anything?
Consider:
Please notice the Crucifix that Pope John Paul II is holding up to the people, at left. Study it closely, and you will realize that it is not a Traditional Crucifix, as we show below. Rather, this Crucifix is known as a "Bent Cross". But, what does that mean? For the answer to that question, let us turn to a Roman Catholic author, Piers Compton, writing in his book, "The Broken Cross: Hidden Hand In the Vatican", Channel Islands, Neville Spearman, 1981.
This Bent Crucifix is "... a sinister symbol, used by Satanists in the sixth century, that had been revived at the time of Vatican Two. This was a bent or broken cross, on which was displayed a repulsive and distorted figure of Christ, which the black magicians and sorcerers of the Middle Ages had made use of to represent the Biblical term 'Mark of the Beast'. Yet, not only Paul VI, but his successors, the two John-Pauls, carried that object and held it up to be revered by crowds, who had not the slightest idea that it stood for anti-Christ."
As you can see, the Crucifix which Pope John Paul II is holding up to adoring crowds is not the Traditional Crucifx, but is the Satanic Bent, or Broken, Cross! This Bent Crucifix was created by Satanists to depict Antichrist and his Mark of the Beast! Very soon, you will see the appearance of a global leader, calling himself The Christ, who will claim to be Jesus Christ returned, the Jewish Messiah, and the Avatar figure for which all the major religions are awaiting, all in one man. This will be Antichrist. Then, very quickly thereafter, a global religious leader will step forward to aid the Antichrist; this religious leader will possess the same miraculous power of Antichrist. At this moment, the prophecy of Revelation 13:11-14 will be fulfilled; this global religious leader will be the Biblical False Prophet.
The New World Order Plan calls for this global religious leader [False Prophet] to be the Roman Catholic Pope, whomever he is at the time; certainly, John Paul II's use of this Satanic Bent Cross is consistent with this part of the Plan.
The moral of the story is thus: sometimes, the Internet can be totally fucking awesome.
