A vast amount of information is out there. I know zilch by comparison. That's a big reason why I am always keen to look things up.

The Dark Side never learns because it already knows everything already, yet it'll peg *me* with a smarmy know-it-all label. (You're certainly not doing that, just that your comment reminded me of how things typically go.)

I find the funniest-but-true stuff along the way, so there's no going back, but the humor-impaired are not able to be amused. I suspect that they're under enough stress already.

You might enjoy this little trail off of "just a coincidence":

In the Biblical world, the Torah is synonymous with truth. The Torah is "the Law." In the ordinary, secular realms, a torah is simply a teaching, theory. Or, in the language of the place named for being the origin of the Sun, a tiger, even or especially a complete surprise. Epic:

The tora of the title, although literally meaning "tiger", is actually an abbreviation of a two-syllable codeword (i.e., totsugeki raigeki 突撃雷撃, "lightning attack"), used to indicate that complete surprise had been achieved.

You probably know all of that but keep it going...

"Torah" [תורה] = 611. You probably know that too. Like Mashiach = 358, or chai/life = 18, it's a gematria that gets around and generates a lot of interest...

Well, not on the level of conspiracy theories, though. They can really go off the charts. (HAARP, anyone?)

"Conspiracy" -- that's one of the many foreign words that Hebrew speakers have adopted as their own:

קונספירציה

(The regular Hebrew word [קֶשֶׁר] is based on the root meaning connection, link).

conspiracy --

קונספירציה

= 611

🤓

Looks to me like there's no escape. 😎

In the phrase "conspiracy theory" [תאוריית קשר, or תאוריית קונספירציה], even "theory" [תאוריית] is, well.. a "theory", at which point I couldn't help but notice its similarity to the language of the Torah -- and that which is illuminative, descriptive.

(The Moon Landing gets top image billing on that Hebrew "conspiracy theory" page. Excellent! That's one small step for man...)

You know what they say, something like

Yesterday's conspiracy theories are today's obvious truths.

(Imagine what there's to know, tomorrow.)

In the meantime, everybody knows that paradoxical Hill Valley is "A Nice Place to Live" (maybe it was named for some guy name Hill, or Hillel), and that Lyon Estates is the place to live in the dream home of tomorrow, today.

Now,

Who's really in charge of the entire narrative all of the 'time', everywhere? You'd think folks would finally catch on and be eager to embrace,

Because the first run of the DMC time machine occurred on Jewish Mother's Day (11 Cheshvan), the Sabbath of

Lech-Lecha: Genesis 12:1 - 17:27
Haftarah: Isaiah 40:27 - 41:16

That's the parsha that opens with the verse source for why Abraham is considered the first Jew:

12.1 And the Lord said to Abram, "Go forth from your land and from your birthplace and from your father's house, to the land that I will show you.

Could have been an inside joke. Who on the outside would have noticed?

(Nothing gets disintegrated, but people really miss out if they don't click at that point in the BTTF mall scene vid, complete with the cc about the Temple. Youtube is like Wikipedia though -- a terrible place with bad language!)

That reading from the prophets is the one following the Haftarah for the week of the splashdown of the dove Columbia on Tisha B'Av.

Dr. "Emet" Brown... a real nutcase.

Heh, while I was typing this up, I needed to pause, to go out to the chicken coop to check up on the girls and to tidy up, turn on their sturdy old thrift shop radio (no connection to the internet). Okay, so they are a bit pampered.

I was immediately greeted by John Denver, singing these words in "For Baby":

And the wind will whisper your name to me
Little birds will sing along in time
Leaves will bow down when you walk by
And morning bells will chime.

It's like that verse about Joseph:

Genesis 41:49 And Joseph gathered corn as the sand of the sea, very much, until he left numbering; for it was without number. 🍿 🍿 🍿

And that "to prevent war, the galaxy is on Orion's beh.. beh.."

So how about that unknown 5th ingredient in the anointing oil? It's a big mystery, so many theories.

Well if ya ask me, I'd simply point out that midnight oil is not sold in stores.

It was always midnight in King David's house.
