Symbolism V: The number 33, marked eyes, and traces of power

Symbolism V: The number 33, marked eyes, and traces of power

The previous thread on symbolism vanished without a trace. Someone peine it, turning the discussion into a collaborative archive on reading power through its symbols. It is not a treatise but an obsessive, occasionally brilliant amateur surveillance of logos, agency photos, dates, and gestures that together suggest a pattern.

The first clue shared is a detail from the Wuhan cobi19 genome: the sequence ends with 33 consecutive adenines. For those trinc this niche, the number is rarely coincidental, especially in a global health context. From there, the thread branches out: press photos with red dots and black backgrounds, Pedro Sánchez’s spotted socks, Bolsonaro’s marked eye in an EFE image, and The Economist’s 2020 cover. Each image is a loose piece. The thread’s merit lies in not forcing the puzzle.

Marked eyes and agency photo codes

One persistent internal theory suggests that agency photos—Reuters, EFE, AP—carry coded messages via red dots, shadows, and framing. Attributed to a German analysis shared in several posts, the idea posits that a red dot on a figure indicates opposition by the so-called Deep State, while a black background signals support. Neither the thread nor this article can verify this key. However, the accumulated material is striking: Bolsonaro with a marked eye in August, Macron lit by a sunbeam at the Élysée, Pope Francis with a Guasonic arch behind him, and Trump with a watchful eye in the White House fireplace.

The interpretation remains consistent: someone is speaking to us. The thread does not claim to hold the key; it merely collects examples. Some argue that many such photos disappear from archives and are replaced weeks later. This cannot be verified with available material, but the suspicion recurs.

Recurring dates: 33, 11, 666

Numerology is the second major axis. The thread repeatedly returns to 33: the 33 Chilean miners, the 33-meter tunnel, the 33 days of excavation, and the 33 monuments of the March 11 attacks. Also to 11: September 11, November 11, and the March 11 attacks. And to 666: phone numbers like 888-777 containing 666, a Health Ministry ad with subliminal 666s, and TV logos antiestéticaturing the Eye of Horus and hexagrams.

The issue here is always the same: any date fits if you look hard enough. The thread acknowledges this. Yet one coincidence persists: the release of Taylor Swift’s single “Patient Zero” aligning with the death of a lab technician from a broken tube containing live plague bacteria. The thread presents this as data, not proof. That sets the tone: accumulation, not conclusion.

The Boule, Skull and Bones, and real secret societies

One of the thread’s strongest contributions references The Boule, an African-American secret society founded in the early 20th century, described in shared materials as a Black elite counterpart to Skull and Bones. The thread links it to Kobe Bryant, LeBron James, and Jay-Z, noting Bryant’s alleged membership. The organization exists and is documented; what remains unproven is the extent of its influence or the claimed member list.

The thread also revisits Skull and Bones rituals: beatings, sarcophagi, sensual confessions. It compares them to Freemasonry, Jesuits, and Zionism, creating an acronym soup that sometimes loses focus. When mixing everything, the thread weakens. When sticking to specific cases—a society, a symbol, a date—it succeeds.

Cobi19 and vaccination symbolism

The thread trinc the pandemic with symbolic attention. It shares vaccination photos from the Fira de Cornellà antiestéticaturing pyramids, blue columns, and cubes. It highlights ETD666/2020 as the order number for 5G implementation in Spain. It mentions Google’s pizza doodle on St. Nicholas Day. It repeats the idea that health passports will become new identity symbols, akin to crucifixes in Christendom.

None of this constitutes proof. But the thread presents it as suspicious coincidence, a distinct category. In that category, the material is abundant.

Thread evolution: from classic symbolism to current affairs

Initially focused on classic symbols—the Eye of Horus, square and compass, Baphomet, mudras, pyramids—the thread shifted toward current events: elections, the pandemic, the Ukraine war, the Pope’s visit to France, Trump’s inauguration. It became a tool for reading current affairs, not a treatise on symbolism.

This shift is the most interesting aspect. Symbolism ceases to be a topic and becomes a method. Every news item is scrutinized for details: the eye, the date, the number, the gesture. Sometimes it hits the mark. Sometimes it forces it. But the method endures.

What the thread leaves unresolved

The thread closes nothing. It does not conclude that a single conspiracy exists or that all symbols point to the same source. It accumulates clues, letting readers draw their own conclusions. It is, in essence, an open archive.

That defines its value and limits. Value: the volume of collected material, source variety, and years-long persistence. Limits: the inability to distinguish pattern from chance when data volume is vast. Over time, an example will always fit. The question is whether that means anything.
