2017 Westminster Attack: Two Kurts Underneath the Bridge

This is a great example of how the unconscious mind quickly registers things and forms connections. Whether the connections in this case can tell us anything about the true nature of Tuesday's "terror attack" in London, I can't say for sure. But they're definitely there, intentional or not.

So yesterday, I was reloading the Yahoo home page when I caught a quick glimpse of the thumbnail image and headline of this article:

American tourist named as third victim of London terror attack

I saw it for only a second before the page reloaded, but the image of the man with the guitar instantly struck me as familiar. "Was that Kurt Cobain?" I thought. I'd managed to catch the words "American," "victim" and "terror" and figured it had to do with the London attack. I searched for the article and sure enough, there the guy was, striking a guitar pose similar to an iconic image from Nirvana's Unplugged performance.

The guy didn't actually look much like Cobain but there had definitely been some underlying similarity that triggered my unconscious mind to make the connection.

And then I saw the guy's name... Kurt Cochran. WTF? That's quite a coincidence seeing as I only made the connection with Kurt Cobain from a quick glimpse of the photo. Then I looked more into his story:

http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-4342450/American-named-victim-London-terror-attack.html

In both articles, it is emphatically stated that Kurt and his wife were both Americans. In the Daily Mail article we see numerous references to Trump's statement calling Kurt Cochran "a great American." The same article also says "They thought they were on a dream vacation..." and "A Utah couple celebrating their 25th wedding anniversary on a dream tour of Europe are among the victims of the London terror attack."

American Dream, eh? Well, the attack took place on March 22, 2017. I recall that Cobain died around this time of year back in 1994. April 5th, to be exact. I went and looked at the timeline of events leading up to his death. On March 22, 1994, two weeks before he died, Cobain's reported activities are as follows:

American Dream used-car lot? Kurt Cochran and his wife Melissa were reportedly hit by a car driven by a crazed ISIS terrorist. Yet another curious coincidence. And there's more... Also from the Daily Mail article:

Kurt Cochran, 54, died after being thrown over Westminster Bridge onto a walkway beneath it when ISIS terrorist Khalid Masood mowed him down in his Hyundai 4x4.

Here's an alleged shot of his body with the caption "Mr Cochran hurled over the parapet and landed on the concrete walkway under the bridge."

I guess you could say Mr. Cochran was something in the way of Masood's car and was hurled underneath the bridge:

And then there's his surviving wife Mrs. Cochran striking a dramatic "Live Through This" pose in perhaps the most famous image from the event:

Kurt Cobain's surviving wife also seemed to spend a good portion of her time lying on the ground for blonde hair-flowing photo ops:

Anyway, as I said, maybe all of this is just a pile of meaningless coincidences. If that's the case then oh well, whatever, never mind.

The Assassination of Olaf Palme: Twin Peaks Weird

I tried to post this as a comment over at Fakeologist but I couldn't get the images to work, so I'll just post it here instead. The post refers to the alleged 1986 assassination of Swedish Prime Minister Olof Palme:

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Assassination_of_Olof_Palme

In response to these two podcasts at Fakeologist:

http://fakeologist.com/blog/2017/03/13/audiochat-folius-hattius/

http://fakeologist.com/blog/2017/01/01/fak158-patrix-and-frolle/

Since the subject of Olof Palme came up again, I figured I'd share a little mini rabbit hole I went down when I first heard him mentioned on the audio chat with Patrix and Frolle. I'd never heard of this assassination event before and when I heard the name "Olof Palme" spoken on the podcast, it sounded a lot like "Laura Palmer." And with the mystery involving Palme's death, I immediately thought of the pop culture catchphrase from the TV show Twin Peaks: Who killed Laura Palmer?

And sure enough, "Who killed Olof Palme" had become a sort of catchphrase of its own:

http://www.nytimes.com/1986/03/22/world/who-killed-olof-palme-the-trial-grows-faint.html

Seeing as Twin Peaks came four years after Palme's assassination, I figured this was either a meaningless coincidence or perhaps David Lynch was consciously or unconsciously influenced by the name when he created Laura Palmer. I also know Lynch practices Transcendental Meditation and has talked extensively about how he "fishes for ideas" by dipping into the "universal consciousness," so perhaps he was somehow influenced that way:

But then I noticed something weird...

When searching for the phrase "Who killed Olof Palme" in Swedish, I stumbled upon this article:

http://www.aftonbladet.se/nyheter/article16025272.ab

It featured a photo of Leif G. W. Persson, a Swedish criminologist and author who wrote a trilogy of books involving conspiracy theories about the murder of Olof Palme. His Wikipedia page reveals some other dramatic personal connections to Palme:

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Leif_G._W._Persson

In 1977, while working at the Swedish National Police Board, Persson was the whistleblower who worked with journalist Peter Bratt in the so-called Geijer Scandal when he confirmed a classified memo sent by then National Police Commissioner Carl Persson to Prime Minister Olof Palme about the alleged ties of the Minister of Justice, Lennart Geijer, to a prostitution ring in Stockholm. Following this affair he was fired from the National Police Board. The string of events almost drove Persson to suicide, but he soon returned as lecturer at Stockholm University. The prostitution ring affair inspired him to write his first novel, Grisfesten. He returned as a professor at the National Police Board in 1992.

In Twin Peaks, FBI Agent Cooper was sent to the town to investigate the death of teen girl Laura Palmer who was involved in a small-time prostitution ring. But again, Lynch could have merely been influenced by Persson's story and the Palme murder. But then there was the specific image of Persson used in the article. It immediately reminded me of someone:

The long face, the nose, the eyes, the spiky silver hair. Now, of course, I'm not saying they're the same person or even genetically related but the resemblance is pretty damn weird. Like Twin Peaks weird! Here are a couple shots of the two men when they were younger (born roughly 10 months apart):

Lynch

I dunno. Call it a transcendental synchronicity or call it nothing. I just know the owls are not what they seem!
