Something terrible is about to enter our world, and this building is obviously the door.

Here's What We Know



Here's What We Know About Life on Neptune - My Arse




555

The Sky Was All Purple+There Were PPL Runnin' Ev'rywhere


Dana Barrett's Appartment Building with the Temple of Gozer Zigaurat and Stargate on the roof is (in real life, and, as I recall from from my mis-spent youth, in the Book of the Film novelisation) 55 Central Park West

The Washington Monument is precisely 555 feet high.




Now: FOR SOME REASON - There was a Production Design decision to ALTER the building number from 55 to 550


And clearly NOT to conceal the true location of that building,

because it's perfectly obvious where it is.

On the West side of The Park, right by Rockefeller Centre and the Spanish-American War Memorial.



Oh, hey - wouldja look at that....

Janine, You've Changed...


I want to just give a quick shout-out, Kudos and credit where it's due to J. Michael Strazinski as the Spiritual Godfather of all Lady Ghostbusters : 

Because I do, DISTINCTLY recall that he went out of his way to have Janine Melnitz strap on (sorry) a Proton Pack, don a pink jumpsuit and step up in a crisis to come to the aid and rescue of all of the silly men.

Before deciding she likes answering phones and taking messages better and declares that she knows her place in life, and this is it. Yay, Voluntary 1980s Glass-Ceiling. Girl Power.

Yeah - 'Cuz that isn't at all sexual.



BreXit : POPE PIUS V'S BULL AGAINST QUEEN ELIZABETH I OF ENGLAND (1570)


POPE PIUS V'S BULL AGAINST QUEEN ELIZABETH I OF ENGLAND

1570


Pius Bishop, servant of the servants of God, in lasting memory of the matter.


He that reigneth on high, to whom is given all power in heaven and earth, has committed one holy Catholic and apostolic Church, outside of which there is no salvation, to one alone upon earth, namely to Peter, the first of the apostles, and to Peter's successor, the Pope of Rome, to be by him governed in fullness of power. Him alone He has made ruler over all peoples and kingdoms, to pull up, destroy, scatter, disperse, plant and build, so that he may preserve His faithful people (knit together with the girdle of charity) in the unity of the Spirit and present them safe and spotless to their Saviour.

1. In obedience to which duty, we (who by God's goodness are called to the aforesaid government of the Church) spare no pains and labour with all our might that unity and the Catholic religion (which their Author, for the trial of His children's faith and our correction, has suffered to be afflicted with such great troubles) may be preserved entire. But the number of the ungodly has so much grown in power that there is no place left in the world which they have not tried to corrupt with their most wicked doctrines; and among others, Elizabeth, the pretended Queen of England and the servant of crime, has assisted in this, with whom as in a sanctuary the most pernicious of all have found refuge. This very woman, having seized the crown and monstrously usurped the place of supreme head of the Church in all England to gether with the chief authority and jurisdiction belonging to it, has once again reduced this same kingdom- which had already been restored to the Catholic faith and to good fruits- to a miserable ruin.

2. Prohibiting with a strong hand the use of the true religion, which after its earlier overthrow by Henry VIII (a deserter therefrom) Mary, the lawful Queen of famous memory, had with the help of this See restored, she has followed and embraced the errors of the heretics. She has removed the royal Council, composed of the nobility of England, and has filled it with obscure men, being heretics; oppressed the followers of the Catholic faith; instituted false preachers and ministers of impiety; abolished the sacrifice of the mass, prayers, fasts, choice of meats, celibacy, and Catholic ceremonies; and has ordered that books of manifestly heretical content be propounded to the whole realm and that impious rites and institutions after the rule of Calvin, entertained and observed by herself, be also observed by her subjects. She has dared to eject bishops, rectors of churches and other Catholic priests from their churches and benefices, to bestow these and other things ecclesiastical upon heretics, and to determine spiritual causes; has forbidden the prelates, clergy and people to acknowledge the Church of Rome or obey its precepts and canonical sanctions; has forced most of them to come to terms with her wicked laws, to abjure the authority and obedience of the Pope of Rome, and to accept her, on oath, as their only lady in matters temporal and spiritual; has imposed penalties and punishments on those who would not agree to this and has exacted then of those who perserved in the unity of the faith and the aforesaid obedience; has thrown the Catholic prelates and parsons into prison where many, worn out by long languishing and sorrow, have miserably ended their lives. All these matter and manifest and notorius among all the nations; they are so well proven by the weighty witness of many men that there remains no place for excuse, defence or evasion.

3. We, seeing impieties and crimes multiplied one upon another the persecution of the faithful and afflictions of religion daily growing more severe under the guidance and by the activity of the said Elizabeth -and recognising that her mind is so fixed and set that she has not only despised the pious prayers and admonitions with which Catholic princes have tried to cure and convert her but has not even permitted the nuncios sent to her in this matter by this See to cross into England, are compelled by necessity to take up against her the weapons of juctice, though we cannot forbear to regret that we should be forced to turn, upon one whose ancestors have so well deserved of the Christian community. Therefore, resting upon the authority of Him whose pleasure it was to place us (though unequal to such a burden) upon this supreme justice-seat, we do out of the fullness of our apostolic power declare the foresaid Elizabeth to be a heretic and favourer of heretics, and her adherents in the matters aforesaid to have incurred the sentence of excommunication and to be cut off from the unity of the body of Christ.

4. And moreover (we declare) her to be deprived of her pretended title to the aforesaid crown and of all lordship, dignity and privilege whatsoever.

5. And also (declare) the nobles, subjects and people of the said realm and all others who have in any way sworn oaths to her, to be forever absolved from such an oath and from any duty arising from lordshop. fealty and obedience; and we do, by authority of these presents , so absolve them and so deprive the same Elizabeth of her pretended title to the crown and all other the abovesaid matters. We charge and command all and singular the nobles, subjects, peoples and others afore said that they do not dare obey her orders, mandates and laws. Those who shall act to the contrary we include in the like sentence of excommunication.

6. Because in truth it may prove too difficult to take these presents wheresoever it shall be necessary, we will that copies made under the hand of a notary public and sealed with the seal of a prelate of the Church or of his court shall have such force and trust in and out of judicial proceedings, in all places among the nations, as these presents would themselves have if they were exhibted or shown.

Given at St. Peter's at Rome, on 27 Apr 1570 of the Incarnation; in the fifth year of our pontificate.

The Bardic Tradition of Ghostbusters : The Ballad Of Ray, Egon and Pete





"Gonna tell you a story
About a little town I know.

They had a real big problem
With some big mean local ghost.

Those spooks were making
The whole city lose control

Well, the Mayor was frantic
The town was panicked
Cause they had no sense of fear
Cause they knew they were missing
Those boys with a mission
So they called them up right chere

They were boxing and trapping
And shooting through the joint
Stepped right in and
Got down 2 the point
Those Ghostbusters came in
Cleaning up the town

Oh, yeah

About five o'clock, those boys came up
And they could see those spooks were real
And they knew they'd better get right to work
So they revved up the Ectomobile

Yeah, the boys were ready
Their aim was steady and
Their hearts were made of steel

Well, the Mayor, he started ranting around
And the whole town started to roar
And they're seeing this town that rocked
Those slimers dropped down 2 the floor


They were boxing and trapping
And shooting through the joint
Stepped right in and
Got down to the point
You shoulda seen those
Spectres in the trap saying
Those boys, make 'em dance

Well, New York
New York's so happy now
They rocked that building, boy
But if the boys hadn't come to the rescue
The spooks might still be making noise"

They were boxing and trapping
And shooting through the joint
Stepped right in and
Got down to the point
Those Ghostbusters came in
Cleaning up the town



"Who're you callin' 'Spook', Peckerwood..?"

"Run Home to Yo' Mamma, Boy..!!"



"2 hot 2 handle, 2 cold 2 hold

They're called the Ghost busters and they're in control
Had 'em throwin' a party 4 a bunch of children
While all of the while the slime was under the building

So they packed up their group, got a grip, came equipped
Grabbed they Proton packs off their back and they split
Found about Vigo, the master of evil
Try 2 battle my boys? 

That's not legal!"

Spooky Electric

The End(s) of Daze : Judgement Day, 1984 :

Purple Lightening + Storm Clouds + Sheena Easton Hair + Cuban Heels

= Camile the Chameleon : Good Evening!



"Vey ehm I Drippings Wiz Goo...?"

Spooky Electric came along, and then we all did a bunch of Ecstasy & Viagra, one thing let to another....


.....some years later stories started to emerge about Tuesday December 1st, 1987...

...Somewhere that night he decided against it’s release....

...The decision appeared to be made after experiencing some heavy hallucinations when using the drug Ecstasy...

In what he has called a vision the letters :

G O D 

[ NOTE : "G O D" Not " J E H O V A H " ]

were hovering over a field.....

...He also didn’t want this album to be his legacy in case he died after the release.....


[Well, of course he was going to die at some point after the release.... isn't he...?]

" MILLIONS NOW LIVING MAY NEVER DIE "



PLEASE DON'T BUY THE BLACK ALBUM. I'M SORRY

“Camille set out to silence his critics. No longer daring - his enemies laughed. No longer glam, his funk is half-assed... 

Tuesday came. Blue Tuesday. His canvas full, and lying on the table, Camille mustered all the hate that he was able. Hate 4 the ones who ever doubted his game. Hate 4 the ones who ever doubted his name.

Tis nobody funkier -- let the Black Album fly. Spooky Electric was talking, Camille started 2 cry. Tricked.

A fool he had been. In the lowest utmostest. 


He had allowed the dark side of him 2 create something evil. 

2 Nigs United 4 West Compton. 

Camille and his ego. Bob George. 

Why? 

Spooky Electric must die.”



"So let’s kiss our dark sides; let’s f**k our dark sides. 

Get him down there where he belongs. 

And he can tell us stuff. 

Y’know, that thing’s useful."

Bob George - Why? Spooky Electric Must Die.

.....some years later stories started to emerge about Tuesday December 1st, 1987 and the preceding evening when Prince went to the club Rupert’s. He asked the DJ to play the new album and observed the responses of the people in the club.

The same night he met Ingrid Chavez. She is a poet, singer, songwriter and nowadays wife of singer David Sylvian. The two went to Paisley Park and had an intense conversation. Apparently Prince already had some doubts about releasing the album. Somewhere that night he decided against it’s release. The decision appeared to be made after experiencing some heavy hallucinations when using the drug Ecstasy. In what he has called a vision the letter G O D were hovering over a field. It made him realise that it was his responsibility not to release this dark and negative album to kids. 

He also didn’t want this album to be his legacy in case he died after the release.....

GET BEHIND ME, SATAN

"I got 2 sides,
and they're both friends"

Prince,
My Name is Prince
