  • I am surprised you have not seen the man standing off center next to the staff on center over the rainbow entrance sign ~27:00

    I wish I could move your mic a little further away from you.

  • @SlackerSlayer

    I'm working on a documentary version of this show, which will include new information and observations. This was a live broadcast, so apologies about the microphone!

  • the Requiem Mass - Mozart couldn't have been symbolic even if he wanted because the Requiem Mass has a set text. He was comissioned to write one by a Count who ended up performing it a few years after Mozart's death. The count pretended to write if for his dead wife - I don't know how you tie that in with the rest of the Masonic Mozart parts cause the Mass has a set text and Mozart had no choice to compose to those words - unlike an opeara.

  • ..part 2..

    If you read the Novello diaries, apparently Constanze's second husband Von Nissen had a pyramid at his grave site at the time which was the early 1800's. As a matter of fact, Mozart's memorial in Vienna was vandalized at least once, and rumor has it someone has his skull, a fake being held at the Mozarteum. Anyway Von Welsegg, the Count you refer to never could claim credit for the piece because the work was incomplete and had to be finished by Mozart's pupil.

  • ..part one ..

    Yes you're right. I only just discovered that the text for the Requiem was widely used. However I still think that Mozart had issues with the Freemasons. The painting I mention in the video seems to admit this. Also, Mozart was not given a proper burial whereas had he been a Mason in good standing, this would not have been the case. Some will say that it was common to be buried this way, yet Leopold and even Constanze's 2nd husband were given the courtesy of a burial.

  • where is part two????

  • I've actually set it to private, because I'm working on a follow up documentary.

  • you guys should listen to Jay Weilder's Red Ice Radio interview Kubrick's Alchemy. If you are interested in this topic. Pretty wild stuff.

  • the upside down crucifix on the pope's chair is symbolic of St. Peter's crucifixion upside down, thus the pope sits in the Chair of St. Peter (the first pope).

  • Great observation especially with the rainbow connections

    I live in Vienna and will definately go to the Historisches Musseen asap

    Thanks for the tip

  • It's a kind of foreshadow to what happens next. The mysterious woman, believed to be Mandy, redeems him and Bill Harford was free to go.

    Similar story in Fidelio. Look it up.

  • i know that...but WHY did they use fidelio as a password?

  • fidelity? Infidelity?

    Name of Beetoven's (I can't spell it) only opera?

  • "Don't you want to go where the rainbow ends?"

    What does rainbow's end actually mean? What does that random page say?
