Revisiting an old topic today. So, revisiting and repeating the same reason. As my readership grows I imagine that some newcomers must wonder if there's more to it than finding ways to be incredibly sarcastic. So a core value of modern gematria is:
Gematria is the reason our language exists. Not a byproduct. The numbers were always there, it's just a matter of being clever enough to have discovered the evil plot that these sports riggers and hurricane manufacturers have concocted.
The simplest example is the often quoted "mockery" in News headlines. They'll cut and paste an entire headline into the calculator and scan the results for matches. Then we all go gaga out how one of the hundreds of masonic catch phrases they have matches the various two and three digit numbers that pop up.
So if the headline reads something like, "Cubs Hopes Dashed for Another Year" a valid criticism is to point out that they included the gematria of the word "for" in that headline. The dark forces are also in control of the word "for" or the headline mockery doesn't match up.
Not wanting to sound like idiots by changing the headline from "A Dark Day For The Cubs" to "Dark Day Cubs", trying to pick what words are meaningful, avoids not matching the inevitable sceenshot accompaniment, it provides solid proof of how gematria simply cannot work. Grammar. It's not just the words, but they have to be in the right order.
"Sue is alive and pregnant, while Bob is dead."
"Bob is alive and pregnant, while Sue is dead."
Exact same words. Exact same numerology. Completely different meanings.
To justify my bizarre post title and add a little twist to make this a bit different, I offer the History Channel show, America's Secret Slang. If you want some entertainment regarding origins of words and phrases this is a good view. Each episode offers up a common theme, like Irish immigrants food related words. One episode is war related slang we use everyday.
Ironclad contract. Ironclads were naval ships like the Monitor and Merrimack. Compared to the all wooden predecessors, relatively indestructible. Sideburns. Civil War military dude, Amos Burnside's style of facial hair.
I've chosen the machine gun, because I knew this story before I watched the TV episode. Once technology caught up to the concept of a rapid fire without reloading weapon, some of the better designs of the World War era were belt fed. A two man team would operate the weapon. One would aim and pull the trigger, the other would be responsible for loading the ammunition and making sure it didn't get all tangled up. In order not to waste ammunition the training included guidance on how many bullets to fire. One guy running at you with a machete was usually a waste of an entire belt of ammunition. But, if it was a whom squad, tactical reasons justified it, or the machete guy just really pissed you off, you would send out all 27 feet of the bullet belt at him.
You'd give him the whole nine yards.
This phrase has stuck and now means to indicate anything you're really, really serious about.
Now the Nearly Infinitely Powered Though Utterly Confusing Knuckleheads are responsible for every tiny detail of the origin of the machine gun throughout history. Repeating rifles, the birth of Mr. Gattling, invention of gunpowder, Call of Duty video games. Everything, because words are associated to it all. That's an awfully lot of power and effort to work on rigging sports. Especially for a different meaning than Tom Brady picking up all the yardage needed for a first down on a key 3rd and 9 play. Or the amount of fabric to make a pair of socks for William "The Fridge" Perry.
Most war gematria usage is limited to WAR, KILL, DEATH, WWII and that kind of stuff. But the evil masonic usage of all words is waiting in the wings any time something is written. The phrase is not , "WHOLE NINE YARDS." It's almost always "*THE* WHOLE NINE YARDS.
So some freemason SOB was sitting around trying to figure out the proper numerical value of the word, "THE" for this and every other usage of the word? That's a lot of pressure. No wonder the turnover is so high, despite the dental plan.
Try going through a day without using "THE". It has a purpose. And it isn't to hold one of several billion different mathematical values depending on what elision you pick and which of the many you ignore.
