Mondale Robinson, who currently serves as our Principal. He is the National Political Director for Democracy for America, Political Contributor for The Village Celebration where he has political and cultural columns and is a regular on their syndicated radio show. Mondale is also a Political Consultant. Born one of 13 in rural North Carolina, W. Mondale grew up with a front-row seat to obstacles that kept and keeps Black people from voting. With this knowledge and his veteran campaign experience, he created a voter engagement program that would increase Black people's participation in the electoral process (BMEP Additory Approach(C)). The program was designed with a special focus on Black men, who are so often labeled as low information and sporadic voters. The program has been a success in the 13 states where it has been implemented (VA, NC, SC, GA, MS, FL, AL, TX, AR, OH, IN, NY, and NJ). Mondale has been a lifelong advocate for the expansion of democracy and the protection of voting rights. He has worked on more than 125 campaigns''across all levels of government''in the United States, and leading roles internationally. Why W. Mondale Robinson Founded the Black Male Voter Project Sat, 19 Sep 2020 19:54 W. Mondale Robinson (center) at a 2019 'Brothas Be Voting' roundtable in Atlanta. W. Mondale Robinson When I was a kid, I used to watch my father do amazing things for people all the time'--he'd fix roofs, lay drywall, pour cement for entire driveways. We were extremely poor, and I could never understand why. I thought: My dad is an anomaly. How can you be so great as a person and still suffer from poverty? As I grew older, I realized my dad was not an anomaly. Most Black men his age were similarly situated but were crippled in some way: My dad, for instance, earned a felony when he was a young boy for defending his mother against white supremacy. Knowing that his struggles were all too common for Black men and watching America snuff out his greatness were my marching orders and the reason I fight for the betterment of my community. I wound up doing campaign work for a long time, and one thing I noticed right away was that most of the people who determine what's said about politics generally, but progressive politics more specifically, are white men. The messaging they convey doesn't speak to my lived experience as a Black man. It's not motivating to me or to the brothas I know'--uncles, cousins, friends, men like my father. It is well-known that voting is a habit that's formed when resources are spent on it, and Black men aren't a priority when it comes to spending money on elections. That was the genesis of the Black Male Voter Project. Our goal isn't just to make voters out of Black men but to foster this idea of voting on issues that are important to us. We don't outright support candidates; we support issues important to Black men. We're seeking to combat the narrative that Black men are apathetic toward politics. Illustration of W. Mondale Robinson, founder of the Black Male Voter Project. Arrington Porter Being a Black man in America is a political statement, and it is impossible to watch politics from my body when the result of so much of the politics of this country has been the subjugation of me and folks who look like me. You can't discount the impact that's had on the mental health of Black men, either, and yet mental health is not considered part of the fight for revolution as it pertains to white supremacy. Imagine what hundreds of years of slavery have done to the psyche and the soul and the makeup of Black bodies in this country. There's a direct correlation between voting and people's health, especially for Black men. We know we're overrepresented in the prison population, which means we are less likely to have voting rights. A Florida prison system did a study a few years back, and they found that people with restored voting rights were less likely to go back to prison. Every time that I'm silent about inequality, I think about my mother, who would pretend to laugh'--to lessen the impact'--when she would tell me stories about being sprayed with a fire hose when she was nine years old for no reason other than being downtown after dark. She couldn't run and hide because she also had groceries for her siblings in her arms, and so she had to pick up the groceries while being sprayed. The white man who did it was still in elected office as the fire chief when I was growing up. Whenever I'm silent, I feel as though I'm selling my mother out. How we define success with our organization, in the end, is more complex than simply getting more Black men to vote. We're building long-term relationships. We hold focus groups called Brothas Be Voting and populate the room with brothas who don't normally participate in politics, people from the street and from underground economies, so we can hear what the barriers are. That way, we can work to remove them and help Black men start believing in the electoral process again.

It was early October, 1976, the month before the map was to debut'--live'--on election night. At the urging of anchor John Chancellor, NBC had constructed the behemoth map to illustrate, in vivid blue and red, which states supported Republican incumbent Gerald Ford and which backed Democratic challenger Jimmy Carter. The test run didn't go well. Although the map was buttressed by a sturdy wood frame, the front of each state was plastic. ''There were thousands of bulbs,'' recalled Roy Wetzel, then the newly minted general manager of NBC's election unit. ''The thing started to melt when we turned all the lights on. We then had to bring in gigantic interior air conditioning and fans to put behind the thing to cool it.'' That solved the problem. And when election results flowed in Tuesday night, Nov. 2, Studio 8-H at 30 Rockefeller Center lit up. Light bulbs on each state changed from undecided white to Republican blue and Democratic red. NBC declared Carter the winner at 3:30 a.m. EST, when Mississippi turned red. That's right: In the beginning, blue was red and red was blue and they changed back and forth from election to election and network to network in what appears, in hindsight, to be a flight of whimsy. The notion that there were ''red states'' and ''blue states'''--and that the former were Republican and the latter Democratic'--wasn't cemented on the national psyche until the year 2000. Chalk up another one to Bush v. Gore. Not only did it give us ''hanging chads'' and a crash course in the Electoral College, not only did it lead to a controversial Supreme Court ruling and a heightened level of polarization that has intensified ever since, the Election That Wouldn't End gave us a new political shorthand. Twelve years later, in the final days of a presidential race deemed too close to call, we know this much about election night Nov. 6: The West Coast, the Northeast and much of the upper Midwest will be bathed in blue. With some notable exceptions, the geographic center of the country will be awash in red. So will the South. And ultimately, it is a handful of states'--which will start the evening in shades of neutral and shift, one by one, to red or blue'--that will determine who wins. If enough of those swing states turn blue, President Barack Obama remains in the White House four more years. If enough become red, Gov. Mitt Romney moves in January 20, 2013. For now, they are considered ''purple.'' Here's something else we know: All the maps'--on TV stations and Web sites election night and in newspapers the next morning'--will look alike. We won't have to switch our thinking as we switch channels, wondering which candidate is blue and which is red. Before the epic election of 2000, there was no uniformity in the maps that television stations, newspapers or magazines used to illustrate presidential elections. Pretty much everyone embraced red and blue, but which color represented which party varied, sometimes by organization, sometimes by election cycle. There are theories, some likely, some just plain weird, to explain the shifting palette. ''For years, both parties would do red and blue maps, but they always made the other guys red,'' said Chuck Todd, political director and chief White House correspondent for NBC News. ''During the Cold War, who wanted to be red?'' Indeed, prior to the breakup of the Soviet Union little more than two decades ago, ''red was a term of derision,'' noted Mitchell Stephens, a New York University professor of journalism and author of A History of News. ''There's a movie named Reds, '' he said. ''You'd see red in tabloid headlines, particularly in right wing tabloids like the Daily Mirror in New York and the New York Daily News.'' In 1972, CBS News split the country into regions and used a color-coded map, with blue for Republicans and red for Democrats. (YouTube) In 1976, ABC News used this color-scheme for the presidential election. (YouTube) This 1980 map from NBC News shows states for Ronald Reagan in blue, Jimmy Carter in red, and uncalled in yellow. (YouTube) For years, NBC News used blue to indicate Republican states and red to indicate Democratic states. Shown here is a screen grab from the 1984 election (YouTube) A still from CBS News' coverage of the 1988 presidential election. White indicated states where ballots had closed, but had not been declared for one candidate or another. (YouTube) By 2000, NBC News had joined their colleagues in using the current red/blue scheme. At this point in the evening, Vice President Gore had been declared the winner in Florida. This, of course, would not be the case by the following morning. (YouTube)Perhaps the stigma of red in those days explains why some networks changed colors'-- in what appeared to be random fashion'--over the years. Kevin Drum of the Washington Monthly wrote in 2004 that the networks alternated colors based on the party of the White House incumbent, but YouTube reveals that to be a myth. Still, there were reversals and deviations. In 1976, when NBC debuted its mammoth electronic map, ABC News employed a small, rudimentary version that used yellow for Ford, blue for Carter and red for states in which votes had yet to be tallied. In 1980, NBC once again used red for Carter and blue for the Republican challenger, Ronald Reagan, and CBS followed suit. But ABC flipped the colors and promised to use orange for states won by John Anderson, the third-party candidate who received 6.6% of the popular vote. (Anderson carried no states, and orange seems to have gone by the wayside.) Four years later, ABC and CBS used red for Republicans and blue for Democrats, but the combination wouldn't stick for another 16 years. During the four presidential elections Wetzel oversaw for NBC, from 1976 through 1988, the network never switched colors. Republicans were cool blue, Democrats hot red. The reasoning was simple, he said: Great Britain. ''Without giving it a second thought, we said blue for conservatives, because that's what the parliamentary system in London is, red for the more liberal party. And that settled it. We just did it,'' said Wetzel, now retired. Forget all that communist red stuff, he said. ''It didn't occur to us. When I first heard it, I thought, 'Oh, that's really silly.' '' When ABC produced its first large electronic map in 1980, it used red for Republicans and blue for Democrats, while CBS did the reverse, according to Wetzel. NBC stuck with its original color scheme, prompting anchor David Brinkley to say that Reagan's victory looked like ''a suburban swimming pool.'' Newspapers, in those days, were largely black and white. But two days after voters went to the polls in 2000, both the New York Times and USA Today published their first color-coded, county-by-county maps detailing the showdown between Al Gore and George W. Bush. Both papers used red for the Republican Bush, blue for the Democrat Gore. Why? ''I just decided red begins with 'r,' Republican begins with 'r.' It was a more natural association,'' said Archie Tse, senior graphics editor for the Times. ''There wasn't much discussion about it.'' Paul Overberg, a database editor who designed the map for USA Today, said he was following a trend: ''The reason I did it was because everybody was already doing it that way at that point.'' And everybody had to continue doing it for a long time. The 2000 election dragged on until mid-December, until the Supreme Court declared Bush the victor. For weeks, the maps were ubiquitous. Perhaps that's why the 2000 colors stuck. Along with images of Florida elections officials eyeballing tiny ballot chads, the maps were there constantly, reminding us of the vast, nearly even divide between, well, red and blue voters. From an aesthetic standpoint, Overberg said, the current color scheme fits with the political landscape. Republicans typically dominate in larger, less populated states in the Plains and Mountain West, meaning the center of the United States is very red. ''If it had been flipped, the map would have been too dark,'' he said. ''The blue would have been swamping the red. Red is a lighter color.'' But not everyone liked the shift. Republican operative Clark Bensen wrote an analysis in 2004 titled ''RED STATE BLUES: Did I Miss That Memo?'' ''There are two general reasons why blue for Republican and Red for Democrat make the most sense: connotation and practice,'' Bensen wrote. ''First, there has been a generally understood meaning to the two colors inasmuch as they relate to politics. That is, the cooler color blue more closely represented the rational thinker and cold-hearted and the hotter red more closely represented the passionate and hot-blooded. This would translate into blue for Republicans and red for Democrats. Put another way, red was also the color most associated with socialism and the party of the Democrats was clearly the more socialistic of the two major parties. ''The second reason why blue for Republicans makes sense is that traditional political mapmakers have used blue for the modern-day Republicans, and the Federalists before that, throughout the 20th century. Perhaps this was a holdover from the days of the Civil War when the predominantly Republican North was 'Blue'.'' At this point'--three presidential elections after Bush v. Gore'--the color arrangement seems unlikely to reverse any time soon. Not only have ''red states'' and ''blue states'' entered the lexicon, partisans on both sides have taken ownership of them. For instance, RedState is a conservative blog; Blue State Digital, which grew out of Democrat Howard Dean's 2004 presidential campaign, helps candidates and organizations use technology to raise money, advocate their positions and connect with constituents. In 2008, a Republican and a Democrat even joined forces to create Purple Strategies, a bipartisan public affairs firm. Sara Quinn, a visual journalist now at the Poynter Institute in Florida, said she sees no particular advantage to either color. ''Red is usually very warm and it comes forward to the eye. Blue tends to be a recessive color, but a calming color,'' she said. Not that anyone thought of those things when assigning colors in 2000. Not that they think about it at all today. ''After that election the colors became part of the national discourse,'' said Tse. ''You couldn't do it any other way.'' The Rosy or Rose Cross - Occult Symbols Sat, 19 Sep 2020 18:45 The Rose Cross is associated with a number of different schools of thought, including that of the Golden Dawn, Thelema, the OTO, and the Rosicrucians (also known as the Order of the Rose Cross). Each group offers somewhat different interpretations of the symbol. This should not be surprising as magical, occult and esoteric symbols are frequently used to communicate ideas more complex than is possible to express in speech. Christian Elements Users of the Rose Cross today tend to downplay the Christian elements to it, even though the magical systems used by such people are generally Judeo-Christian in origin. The cross, therefore, has other meanings here besides being the instrument of Christ's execution. Despite this, the presence of the letters INRI, which is an abbreviation of the Latin phrase Iesvs Nazarens Rex Ivdaeorym, meaning "Jesus of Nazareth, King of the Jews," cannot escape Christian interpretation. According to the Christian Bible, this phrase was inscribed on the cross where Jesus was executed. In addition, the cross is often viewed by occultists as a symbol of immortality, sacrifice, and death. Through Jesus's sacrifice and death on the cross, humanity has a chance at eternal life with God. The Cross Cross-shaped objects are commonly used in occultism too represent the four physical elements. Here each arm is colored to represent one element: yellow, blue, black and red to represent air, water, earth, and fire. These colors are also repeated on the bottom portion of the cross. The white on the upper portion of the bottom arm represents the spirit, the fifth element. The cross can also represent dualism, two forces going in conflicting directions yet uniting at a central point. The union of rose and cross is also a generative symbol, the union of a male and female. Finally, the cross's proportions are made up of six squares: one for each arm, an extra one for the lower arm, and the center. A cross of six squares can be folded into a cube. The Rose The rose has three tiers of petals. The first tier, of three petals, represents the three basic alchemical elements: salt, mercury, and sulfur. The tier of seven petals represents the seven Classical planets (The Sun and Moon are considered planets here, with the term ''planets'' indicating the seven bodies that appear to circle the earth independently of the star field, which moves as a single unit). The tier of twelve represents the astrological zodiac. Each of the twenty-two petals bears one of the twenty-two letters in the Hebrew alphabet and also represents the twenty-two paths on the Tree of Life. The rose itself has a myriad assortment of additional meanings associated with it: It is at once a symbol of purity and a symbol of passion, heavenly perfection and earthly passion; virginity and fertility; death and life. The rose is the flower of the goddess Venus but also the blood of Adonis and of Christ. It is a symbol of transmutation - that of taking food from the earth and transmuting it into the beautiful fragrant rose. The rose garden is a symbol of Paradise. It is the place of the mystic marriage. In ancient Rome, roses were grown in the funerary gardens to symbolize resurrection. The thorns have represented suffering and sacrifice as well as the sins of the Fall from Paradise. ("A Brief Study of The Rose Cross Symbol," no longer online)Inside the large rose is a smaller cross bearing another rose. This second rose is depicted with five petals. Five is the number of the physical senses: sight, hearing, touch, taste, and smell, and it is also the number of man's extremities: two arms, two legs, and the head. Thus, the rose represents humanity and physical existence. The Pentagrams A pentagram is displayed at the end of each arm of the cross. Each of these pentagrams bears symbols of the five elements: a wheel for spirit, a bird's head for air, the zodiac sign for Leo, which is a fire sign, the zodiac symbol for Taurus, which is an earth sign, and the zodiac symbol for Aquarius, which is a water sign. They are arranged so that when tracing the pentagram you can progress from the most physical to the most spiritual: earth, water, air, fire, spirit. The Three Symbols at the End of Each Arm The three symbols repeated at the end of all four arms stand for salt, mercury, and sulfur, which are the three basic alchemical elements from which all other substances derive. The three symbols are repeated on each of the four arms of the cross, numbering a total of twelve. Twelve is the number of the zodiac, comprised of twelve symbols that circle the heavens throughout the year. The Hexagram Hexagrams commonly represent the union of opposites. It is composed of two identical triangles, one pointing up and one pointing down. The point-up triangle can represent ascending toward the spiritual, while the point-down triangle can stand for the divine spirit descending to the physical realm. The Symbols Around and in The Hexagram The symbols in and around the hexagram represent the seven Classical planets. The symbol for the Sun is in the center. The sun is generally the most important planet in Western occultism. Without the Sun, our planet would be lifeless. It is also commonly connected with the light of divine wisdom and the purification properties of fire, and was sometimes considered the visual manifestation of God's will in the universe. On the outside of the hexagrams are the symbols for Saturn, Jupiter, Venus, the Moon, Mercury, and Mars (clockwise from top). Western occult thought generally considers the planets in the farthest orbits from the Earth in an earth-centric model) to be the most spiritual, because they are the furthest from the physicality of the Earth. Thus, the top three planets are Saturn, Jupiter and Mars, while the bottom three are Mercury, Venus and the Moon. Music in this Episode Intro: Mobb Deep - G.O.D.

Mondale Robinson, who currently serves as our Principal. He is the National Political Director for Democracy for America, Political Contributor for The Village Celebration where he has political and cultural columns and is a regular on their syndicated radio show. Mondale is also a Political Consultant. Born one of 13 in rural North Carolina, W. Mondale grew up with a front-row seat to obstacles that kept and keeps Black people from voting. With this knowledge and his veteran campaign experience, he created a voter engagement program that would increase Black people's participation in the electoral process (BMEP Additory Approach(C)). The program was designed with a special focus on Black men, who are so often labeled as low information and sporadic voters. The program has been a success in the 13 states where it has been implemented (VA, NC, SC, GA, MS, FL, AL, TX, AR, OH, IN, NY, and NJ). Mondale has been a lifelong advocate for the expansion of democracy and the protection of voting rights. He has worked on more than 125 campaigns''across all levels of government''in the United States, and leading roles internationally. Why W. Mondale Robinson Founded the Black Male Voter Project Sat, 19 Sep 2020 19:54 W. Mondale Robinson (center) at a 2019 'Brothas Be Voting' roundtable in Atlanta. W. Mondale Robinson When I was a kid, I used to watch my father do amazing things for people all the time'--he'd fix roofs, lay drywall, pour cement for entire driveways. We were extremely poor, and I could never understand why. I thought: My dad is an anomaly. How can you be so great as a person and still suffer from poverty? As I grew older, I realized my dad was not an anomaly. Most Black men his age were similarly situated but were crippled in some way: My dad, for instance, earned a felony when he was a young boy for defending his mother against white supremacy. Knowing that his struggles were all too common for Black men and watching America snuff out his greatness were my marching orders and the reason I fight for the betterment of my community. I wound up doing campaign work for a long time, and one thing I noticed right away was that most of the people who determine what's said about politics generally, but progressive politics more specifically, are white men. The messaging they convey doesn't speak to my lived experience as a Black man. It's not motivating to me or to the brothas I know'--uncles, cousins, friends, men like my father. It is well-known that voting is a habit that's formed when resources are spent on it, and Black men aren't a priority when it comes to spending money on elections. That was the genesis of the Black Male Voter Project. Our goal isn't just to make voters out of Black men but to foster this idea of voting on issues that are important to us. We don't outright support candidates; we support issues important to Black men. We're seeking to combat the narrative that Black men are apathetic toward politics. Illustration of W. Mondale Robinson, founder of the Black Male Voter Project. Arrington Porter Being a Black man in America is a political statement, and it is impossible to watch politics from my body when the result of so much of the politics of this country has been the subjugation of me and folks who look like me. You can't discount the impact that's had on the mental health of Black men, either, and yet mental health is not considered part of the fight for revolution as it pertains to white supremacy. Imagine what hundreds of years of slavery have done to the psyche and the soul and the makeup of Black bodies in this country. There's a direct correlation between voting and people's health, especially for Black men. We know we're overrepresented in the prison population, which means we are less likely to have voting rights. A Florida prison system did a study a few years back, and they found that people with restored voting rights were less likely to go back to prison. Every time that I'm silent about inequality, I think about my mother, who would pretend to laugh'--to lessen the impact'--when she would tell me stories about being sprayed with a fire hose when she was nine years old for no reason other than being downtown after dark. She couldn't run and hide because she also had groceries for her siblings in her arms, and so she had to pick up the groceries while being sprayed. The white man who did it was still in elected office as the fire chief when I was growing up. Whenever I'm silent, I feel as though I'm selling my mother out. How we define success with our organization, in the end, is more complex than simply getting more Black men to vote. We're building long-term relationships. We hold focus groups called Brothas Be Voting and populate the room with brothas who don't normally participate in politics, people from the street and from underground economies, so we can hear what the barriers are. That way, we can work to remove them and help Black men start believing in the electoral process again.

It was early October, 1976, the month before the map was to debut'--live'--on election night. At the urging of anchor John Chancellor, NBC had constructed the behemoth map to illustrate, in vivid blue and red, which states supported Republican incumbent Gerald Ford and which backed Democratic challenger Jimmy Carter. The test run didn't go well. Although the map was buttressed by a sturdy wood frame, the front of each state was plastic. ''There were thousands of bulbs,'' recalled Roy Wetzel, then the newly minted general manager of NBC's election unit. ''The thing started to melt when we turned all the lights on. We then had to bring in gigantic interior air conditioning and fans to put behind the thing to cool it.'' That solved the problem. And when election results flowed in Tuesday night, Nov. 2, Studio 8-H at 30 Rockefeller Center lit up. Light bulbs on each state changed from undecided white to Republican blue and Democratic red. NBC declared Carter the winner at 3:30 a.m. EST, when Mississippi turned red. That's right: In the beginning, blue was red and red was blue and they changed back and forth from election to election and network to network in what appears, in hindsight, to be a flight of whimsy. The notion that there were ''red states'' and ''blue states'''--and that the former were Republican and the latter Democratic'--wasn't cemented on the national psyche until the year 2000. Chalk up another one to Bush v. Gore. Not only did it give us ''hanging chads'' and a crash course in the Electoral College, not only did it lead to a controversial Supreme Court ruling and a heightened level of polarization that has intensified ever since, the Election That Wouldn't End gave us a new political shorthand. Twelve years later, in the final days of a presidential race deemed too close to call, we know this much about election night Nov. 6: The West Coast, the Northeast and much of the upper Midwest will be bathed in blue. With some notable exceptions, the geographic center of the country will be awash in red. So will the South. And ultimately, it is a handful of states'--which will start the evening in shades of neutral and shift, one by one, to red or blue'--that will determine who wins. If enough of those swing states turn blue, President Barack Obama remains in the White House four more years. If enough become red, Gov. Mitt Romney moves in January 20, 2013. For now, they are considered ''purple.'' Here's something else we know: All the maps'--on TV stations and Web sites election night and in newspapers the next morning'--will look alike. We won't have to switch our thinking as we switch channels, wondering which candidate is blue and which is red. Before the epic election of 2000, there was no uniformity in the maps that television stations, newspapers or magazines used to illustrate presidential elections. Pretty much everyone embraced red and blue, but which color represented which party varied, sometimes by organization, sometimes by election cycle. There are theories, some likely, some just plain weird, to explain the shifting palette. ''For years, both parties would do red and blue maps, but they always made the other guys red,'' said Chuck Todd, political director and chief White House correspondent for NBC News. ''During the Cold War, who wanted to be red?'' Indeed, prior to the breakup of the Soviet Union little more than two decades ago, ''red was a term of derision,'' noted Mitchell Stephens, a New York University professor of journalism and author of A History of News. ''There's a movie named Reds, '' he said. ''You'd see red in tabloid headlines, particularly in right wing tabloids like the Daily Mirror in New York and the New York Daily News.'' In 1972, CBS News split the country into regions and used a color-coded map, with blue for Republicans and red for Democrats. (YouTube) In 1976, ABC News used this color-scheme for the presidential election. (YouTube) This 1980 map from NBC News shows states for Ronald Reagan in blue, Jimmy Carter in red, and uncalled in yellow. (YouTube) For years, NBC News used blue to indicate Republican states and red to indicate Democratic states. Shown here is a screen grab from the 1984 election (YouTube) A still from CBS News' coverage of the 1988 presidential election. White indicated states where ballots had closed, but had not been declared for one candidate or another. (YouTube) By 2000, NBC News had joined their colleagues in using the current red/blue scheme. At this point in the evening, Vice President Gore had been declared the winner in Florida. This, of course, would not be the case by the following morning. (YouTube)Perhaps the stigma of red in those days explains why some networks changed colors'-- in what appeared to be random fashion'--over the years. Kevin Drum of the Washington Monthly wrote in 2004 that the networks alternated colors based on the party of the White House incumbent, but YouTube reveals that to be a myth. Still, there were reversals and deviations. In 1976, when NBC debuted its mammoth electronic map, ABC News employed a small, rudimentary version that used yellow for Ford, blue for Carter and red for states in which votes had yet to be tallied. In 1980, NBC once again used red for Carter and blue for the Republican challenger, Ronald Reagan, and CBS followed suit. But ABC flipped the colors and promised to use orange for states won by John Anderson, the third-party candidate who received 6.6% of the popular vote. (Anderson carried no states, and orange seems to have gone by the wayside.) Four years later, ABC and CBS used red for Republicans and blue for Democrats, but the combination wouldn't stick for another 16 years. During the four presidential elections Wetzel oversaw for NBC, from 1976 through 1988, the network never switched colors. Republicans were cool blue, Democrats hot red. The reasoning was simple, he said: Great Britain. ''Without giving it a second thought, we said blue for conservatives, because that's what the parliamentary system in London is, red for the more liberal party. And that settled it. We just did it,'' said Wetzel, now retired. Forget all that communist red stuff, he said. ''It didn't occur to us. When I first heard it, I thought, 'Oh, that's really silly.' '' When ABC produced its first large electronic map in 1980, it used red for Republicans and blue for Democrats, while CBS did the reverse, according to Wetzel. NBC stuck with its original color scheme, prompting anchor David Brinkley to say that Reagan's victory looked like ''a suburban swimming pool.'' Newspapers, in those days, were largely black and white. But two days after voters went to the polls in 2000, both the New York Times and USA Today published their first color-coded, county-by-county maps detailing the showdown between Al Gore and George W. Bush. Both papers used red for the Republican Bush, blue for the Democrat Gore. Why? ''I just decided red begins with 'r,' Republican begins with 'r.' It was a more natural association,'' said Archie Tse, senior graphics editor for the Times. ''There wasn't much discussion about it.'' Paul Overberg, a database editor who designed the map for USA Today, said he was following a trend: ''The reason I did it was because everybody was already doing it that way at that point.'' And everybody had to continue doing it for a long time. The 2000 election dragged on until mid-December, until the Supreme Court declared Bush the victor. For weeks, the maps were ubiquitous. Perhaps that's why the 2000 colors stuck. Along with images of Florida elections officials eyeballing tiny ballot chads, the maps were there constantly, reminding us of the vast, nearly even divide between, well, red and blue voters. From an aesthetic standpoint, Overberg said, the current color scheme fits with the political landscape. Republicans typically dominate in larger, less populated states in the Plains and Mountain West, meaning the center of the United States is very red. ''If it had been flipped, the map would have been too dark,'' he said. ''The blue would have been swamping the red. Red is a lighter color.'' But not everyone liked the shift. Republican operative Clark Bensen wrote an analysis in 2004 titled ''RED STATE BLUES: Did I Miss That Memo?'' ''There are two general reasons why blue for Republican and Red for Democrat make the most sense: connotation and practice,'' Bensen wrote. ''First, there has been a generally understood meaning to the two colors inasmuch as they relate to politics. That is, the cooler color blue more closely represented the rational thinker and cold-hearted and the hotter red more closely represented the passionate and hot-blooded. This would translate into blue for Republicans and red for Democrats. Put another way, red was also the color most associated with socialism and the party of the Democrats was clearly the more socialistic of the two major parties. ''The second reason why blue for Republicans makes sense is that traditional political mapmakers have used blue for the modern-day Republicans, and the Federalists before that, throughout the 20th century. Perhaps this was a holdover from the days of the Civil War when the predominantly Republican North was 'Blue'.'' At this point'--three presidential elections after Bush v. Gore'--the color arrangement seems unlikely to reverse any time soon. Not only have ''red states'' and ''blue states'' entered the lexicon, partisans on both sides have taken ownership of them. For instance, RedState is a conservative blog; Blue State Digital, which grew out of Democrat Howard Dean's 2004 presidential campaign, helps candidates and organizations use technology to raise money, advocate their positions and connect with constituents. In 2008, a Republican and a Democrat even joined forces to create Purple Strategies, a bipartisan public affairs firm. Sara Quinn, a visual journalist now at the Poynter Institute in Florida, said she sees no particular advantage to either color. ''Red is usually very warm and it comes forward to the eye. Blue tends to be a recessive color, but a calming color,'' she said. Not that anyone thought of those things when assigning colors in 2000. Not that they think about it at all today. ''After that election the colors became part of the national discourse,'' said Tse. ''You couldn't do it any other way.'' The Rosy or Rose Cross - Occult Symbols Sat, 19 Sep 2020 18:45 The Rose Cross is associated with a number of different schools of thought, including that of the Golden Dawn, Thelema, the OTO, and the Rosicrucians (also known as the Order of the Rose Cross). Each group offers somewhat different interpretations of the symbol. This should not be surprising as magical, occult and esoteric symbols are frequently used to communicate ideas more complex than is possible to express in speech. Christian Elements Users of the Rose Cross today tend to downplay the Christian elements to it, even though the magical systems used by such people are generally Judeo-Christian in origin. The cross, therefore, has other meanings here besides being the instrument of Christ's execution. Despite this, the presence of the letters INRI, which is an abbreviation of the Latin phrase Iesvs Nazarens Rex Ivdaeorym, meaning "Jesus of Nazareth, King of the Jews," cannot escape Christian interpretation. According to the Christian Bible, this phrase was inscribed on the cross where Jesus was executed. In addition, the cross is often viewed by occultists as a symbol of immortality, sacrifice, and death. Through Jesus's sacrifice and death on the cross, humanity has a chance at eternal life with God. The Cross Cross-shaped objects are commonly used in occultism too represent the four physical elements. Here each arm is colored to represent one element: yellow, blue, black and red to represent air, water, earth, and fire. These colors are also repeated on the bottom portion of the cross. The white on the upper portion of the bottom arm represents the spirit, the fifth element. The cross can also represent dualism, two forces going in conflicting directions yet uniting at a central point. The union of rose and cross is also a generative symbol, the union of a male and female. Finally, the cross's proportions are made up of six squares: one for each arm, an extra one for the lower arm, and the center. A cross of six squares can be folded into a cube. The Rose The rose has three tiers of petals. The first tier, of three petals, represents the three basic alchemical elements: salt, mercury, and sulfur. The tier of seven petals represents the seven Classical planets (The Sun and Moon are considered planets here, with the term ''planets'' indicating the seven bodies that appear to circle the earth independently of the star field, which moves as a single unit). The tier of twelve represents the astrological zodiac. Each of the twenty-two petals bears one of the twenty-two letters in the Hebrew alphabet and also represents the twenty-two paths on the Tree of Life. The rose itself has a myriad assortment of additional meanings associated with it: It is at once a symbol of purity and a symbol of passion, heavenly perfection and earthly passion; virginity and fertility; death and life. The rose is the flower of the goddess Venus but also the blood of Adonis and of Christ. It is a symbol of transmutation - that of taking food from the earth and transmuting it into the beautiful fragrant rose. The rose garden is a symbol of Paradise. It is the place of the mystic marriage. In ancient Rome, roses were grown in the funerary gardens to symbolize resurrection. The thorns have represented suffering and sacrifice as well as the sins of the Fall from Paradise. ("A Brief Study of The Rose Cross Symbol," no longer online)Inside the large rose is a smaller cross bearing another rose. This second rose is depicted with five petals. Five is the number of the physical senses: sight, hearing, touch, taste, and smell, and it is also the number of man's extremities: two arms, two legs, and the head. Thus, the rose represents humanity and physical existence. The Pentagrams A pentagram is displayed at the end of each arm of the cross. Each of these pentagrams bears symbols of the five elements: a wheel for spirit, a bird's head for air, the zodiac sign for Leo, which is a fire sign, the zodiac symbol for Taurus, which is an earth sign, and the zodiac symbol for Aquarius, which is a water sign. They are arranged so that when tracing the pentagram you can progress from the most physical to the most spiritual: earth, water, air, fire, spirit. The Three Symbols at the End of Each Arm The three symbols repeated at the end of all four arms stand for salt, mercury, and sulfur, which are the three basic alchemical elements from which all other substances derive. The three symbols are repeated on each of the four arms of the cross, numbering a total of twelve. Twelve is the number of the zodiac, comprised of twelve symbols that circle the heavens throughout the year. The Hexagram Hexagrams commonly represent the union of opposites. It is composed of two identical triangles, one pointing up and one pointing down. The point-up triangle can represent ascending toward the spiritual, while the point-down triangle can stand for the divine spirit descending to the physical realm. The Symbols Around and in The Hexagram The symbols in and around the hexagram represent the seven Classical planets. The symbol for the Sun is in the center. The sun is generally the most important planet in Western occultism. Without the Sun, our planet would be lifeless. It is also commonly connected with the light of divine wisdom and the purification properties of fire, and was sometimes considered the visual manifestation of God's will in the universe. On the outside of the hexagrams are the symbols for Saturn, Jupiter, Venus, the Moon, Mercury, and Mars (clockwise from top). Western occult thought generally considers the planets in the farthest orbits from the Earth in an earth-centric model) to be the most spiritual, because they are the furthest from the physicality of the Earth. Thus, the top three planets are Saturn, Jupiter and Mars, while the bottom three are Mercury, Venus and the Moon. Music in this Episode Intro: Mobb Deep - G.O.D.

The one and only Occult Fan, aka Nathan Lee Miller Foster, is back in the house for a third time. Nathan Lee is a musician, writer at OccultFan.com, and host of the Six of Swords podcast, and we are going to dig deep into a piece of art that was forged by four of the most marvelous magicians of our modern era. Collectively they are known as TOOL, one of the pre-eminent musical forces roaming the realm today. Their latest album, Fear Inoculum, is their first in 13 years. Highly anticipated by both fans and critics alike, and from the sounds of things, was well worth the wait. But this is not a critical review of that album. This is a complete and total thematic deconstruction of what this album is about, song by song, image by image, even tweet by tweet, because this is a band that has become known for their meticulousness. Every riff, every polyrhythm, every lyric, every liner note, every visual set piece associated with their musical catalog is carefully curated and then deeply dissected by their fanbase, for better or for worse, but always in good fun and good faith. Nathan Lee and I did this way back in episode 35 for another album by the band, so we figured, why not do it again and share it with all of you? Because, when we started to dig into this from a thematic standpoint, we found such a rich message laced with both apt cultural commentary and poignant interpersonal insight. It’s both a warning and a prescription, as any piece of good art is, and whether you know the band or not, or whether you’ve heard the music or not, it’s all kind of irrelevant for the purposes of this discussion, unless you want to completely comprehend all of Nathan Lee’s references that stem from his extensive knowledge of the band and their history.

It's ladies' night at Six Of Cups starring the lovely Bibi, the tenacious NiishNiish, and the ravishing White Queen... and your dashing and heroic Occult Fan.

Beyond being the foundation of most ancient religions and much of Ufology, how did the Sumerian Myths stream into the metaphysical consciousness and magical practices of the Gnostics? Is Sophia a version of Innana and is Enkil the Demiurge enslaving humanity? Vanessa Kindell and Occult Fan arrived to the Virtual Alexandria. From Sumerian magic to archeology to myths, we cover it all.  This is a partial show for nonmembers.

A strolling and lolling conversation about Magic, Mystery, and More with Bishop Tau Allen Greenfield, Jacob Bacchus, and Nathan Lee Miller Foster aka Occult Fan

Samuel Hannah joined us in another galvanizing YouTube Live session. Plenty of Gnosticism, Ifa, Voodon, Greek Mythology, and the places where they all intersect. And much more. We were also joined by Occult Fan and the Moondog, answering questions from an electric chatroom. Production might have been a bit off. As many of you know, my computer died the real death. I conducted and mixed this interview on a loaner. But thanks to the aeonic support of many listeners, I was able to quickly raise funds for a new broadcaster of Gnosis. I'm truly humbled and grateful! I've lost about ten days of work, but new podcasts will be out in about a week. Here is the list of contributors that assisted in keeping the Virtual Alexandria open: Omar Darren Ken Chris Laurence Elaine Tod Rui Dixie David Torbjörn Jean William Maribeth Fin Michael James Valerie Kevin Frank Melissa Kim Alistair Kim Kath Nathan Jean Joseph Luc Michael William Angelica Scott Latifah     Vance and Luthien were great as always and forever. If I missed you, my apologies. Again, thanks for keeping this Red Pill Cafeteria open. You Truthseeker Warriors are the best.

Join some high-ranking Freemasons on the latest Heretics Anonymous. Darren Lorente-Bull returns to the Virtual Alexandria to discuss his new book, The Other Brotherhood: When Freemasonry Crossed The English Channel, as well as a “state of the union” of present-day Freemasonry. We were also joined by Occult Fan and the Moondog Vance, creating a dynamic group discussion and a deep dive on various secret societies, past and present. This is a partial show for nonmembers.

Alex Tsakiris joins Heretics Anonymous to discuss a variety of incendiary topics. We were also joined by Occult Fan and the Moondog Vance, all of us reflecting on 2018 and speculating on 2019 from an Esoteric perspective. It was a disturbing but amazing discussion, always brimming with humor and personal insight. As a bonus, I include a past interview with Alex that focuses on his book Why Science is Wrong About Almost Everything. This is a partial show for nonmembers. For the second half of the interview, please become a member. And please subscribe to my YouTube channel for more Heretics Anonymous. More information on Alex

In episode three of Heretics Anonymous, Joe Atwill joins us to explain how the elite have debased and manipulated society across a history they keep rewriting. From the Roman invention of orthodox religion to the banker invention of authoritarian governments, from the Mason engineering of world wars to the Nazi engineering of modern propaganda, we leave no blood-stained stone unturned. In the end, the goals of the oligarchs are ultimately about the extermination of human free thought and free will. Occult Fan joins us as well to create a Trinity of veil-lifting.

Get ready for high weirdness and Gnosis on Red Bull with these august guests: Tracy Twyman Alex Rivera Occult Fan Vanessa Kindell For members, you get almost three hours of liberating heresy on various current and perennial topics. Nothing was scripted or edited, and everything was allowed. Hope you enjoy and always look forward to your feedback as I continue to, as Philip K. Dick said, bring you Gnostic Gnosis in a trashy form (and various formats). Write your own Gospel and live your own Myth. This is a partial show for nonmembers.

Holy gift! Nathan Lee Miller Foster, better known across the intrawebz as Occult Fan, is back in the house for an epic chat about the occult symbolism found throughout an album called Lateralus, released in 2001 by the band Tool. Now, as it stands, Lateralus is a beautiful piece of music, maybe the most beautiful piece of music, by a band that’s revered for its hypnotic and psychedelic progressive metal sound. It is High Art, capital H, capital A. After its release, this album became the subject of much speculation across online forums and now has a firm place in internet lore. Essentially, it was discovered that this album, Lateralus, could have its songs rearranged into a different order, and that order provided an entirely new and different listening experience, one that was, honestly, more coherent and more metaphysical, and dare I say more spiritual. Not to mention, the rather overt - and also covert - references to popular occulture, which our number one Occult Fan is going to point out for us. Now, despite our previous episode together, this is actually the first time Nathan Lee and I spoke, so we also cover some personal stuff up front - you know, the who are you, what do you do, what sort of juju is your jam sort of stuff - and there are some tangents here and there, and a few interludes of sort. But if you guys stick around for the entirety, I don’t think you’ll be disappointed. We cover a ton of ground here, including the discovery of The Holy Gift album itself, the thematic thread that runs through this rearranged album, and the symbolism found in the album artwork. This is jam-packed with everything an occult fan could want: the seven liberal arts and the Fibonacci sequence, alchemy and magic, interdimensional entities and archonic control, the kabbalah, consciousness, conspiracy theories, Coast to Coast AM and pop occulture references galore. Hell, I may even share some information with you on how to possibly jump between dimensions, and hell, Nathan Lee may even read us some fuckin’ Tolstoy, and hell, this whole thing may even loop around and spiral up and down and end where it began. This is, honestly, one for the aeons and one for the archons. Contact Occult Fan via email at TheHolyGift@occultfan.com.

In this episode, a chat with Nathan Lee Miller Foster aka Occult Fan about occult symbolism in the Twin Peaks Universe. If you’re a fan of filmmaking, you’re undoubtedly familiar with David Lynch and the surreal stories and soundscapes he’s contributed to the lexicon of popular culture. His work is filled with an education typically reserved for initiates and adepts of the various mystery schools found throughout our occulted history, and one of those works that speaks perhaps the greatest truth most of us have never known is found in a universe known simply as Twin Peaks. Comprised of the original thirty television episodes, a feature film called Fire Walk With Me, a novel published by the show’s co-creator Mark Frost called The Secret History of Twin Peaks, and the television reboot that premieres Sunday, May 21st on Showtime, the Twin Peaks Universe has done more to divulge the true nature of reality than perhaps any other piece of art ever has or will. On the surface, Twin Peaks is more of a story about conspiracy and corruption in a small town in Washington State than it ever was a story about who killed Laura Palmer. But unravel a thread here and unpeel a layer there and you’ll discover a world inhabited by duæling magicians, Jungian archetypes, mutable realities and extradimensional entities, with references to everything from the writings of Aleister Crowley, UFOs, secret societies and the secret space program to Lewis & Clark, alchemy, Native American mysticism and Jack Parsons’ Babalon Working. And while I’m not nearly famous enough to pull a guest like David Lynch or Mark Frost--and believe me, I tried--I did get the next best thing: an occult fanboy named Nathan Lee Miller Foster who has lent his ear and support to me as I venture down this podcasting path, and someone who’s shown me privately just how well he can dissect occult symbols and themes in showpieces such as this. And now it’s time for him to do the same thing for you publicly. Nathan Lee is full of extradimensional energies and eccentricities, and as any of our grandfathers would say, he’s quite the character. We’ve struck up a bit of a friendship, so this conversation may strike you as a bit more casual than most. Honestly, while I was in the midst of it I had no idea how it would play back, but after editing it I have to say that we turned a molehill into a magical mountain that David Lynch and Mark Frost would be proud of. This requires a bit of working knowledge of the Twin Peaks Universe, and those of you who have that will hopefully appreciate our efforts. And those of you who may not know the first thing about it, well, I hope what you’re about to hear piques your curiosity, pun definitely intended.   MENTIONS “The Secret History of Twin Peaks” by Mark Frost: http://amzn.to/2qJyTfO “Sex and Rockets: The Occult World of Jack Parsons” by John Carter, with an introduction by Robert Anton Wilson: http://amzn.to/2r4R4PV “Moonchild” by Aleister Crowley: http://amzn.to/2rDXq60 Black & white lodges: http://edgeba.webs.com/blackandwhitelodges.htm Dualism: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dualism Jungian archetypes: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jungian_archetypes Mutable realities: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Multiverse Extradimensional entities: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Interdimensional_hypothesis Native American mysticism: http://www.dwildepress.net/critica/native1.html Jack Parsons’ Babalon Working: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Babalon_Working Ætheric consciousness: http://www.plotinus.com/subtle_bodies_copy.htm The Lesser Key of Solomon: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lesser_Key_of_Solomon Joseph Campbell’s monomyth “The Hero’s Journey”: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hero%27s_journey Rick Strassman’s work on psychedelics: https://www.rickstrassman.com/ The videos of Frater Xavier: https://www.youtube.com/user/mindandmagick The work of Mike Clelland: http://hiddenexperience.blogspot.com/   SOCIAL https://www.snapchat.com/add/ryanpeverly https://www.facebook.com/occulturepodcast/ https://twitter.com/occulturepod https://www.instagram.com/occulture_podcast/ https://occulturepodcast.tumblr.com/ https://www.pinterest.com/occulture/   MUSIC Vestron Vulture - “I Want to be a Robot (Tribute to Giorgio Moroder)” https://soundcloud.com/thevulturex/2-i-want-to-be-a-robot-tribute   This podcast is produced in the Kingdom of Ohio and licensed under Creative Commons Attribution-NonCommercial 4.0 International: https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc/4.0/legalcode
