Out of the Blue

One of the four finalists in the design a new flag for New Zealand Referendum 2015

New Zealand, what an awe-inspiring place. So far away from England's usual holiday traps, and a rare choice for the timid explorer. With its magical vistas, and fantastical cinematic landscape, its a Bucket-List destination. Sadly, like any other 'developed' country, it has its share of controversy too, and isn't shy to deal its hand on the world stage when it comes to conflict and political shenanigans.

From a synchromystic point of view, it's clear to see that there is a lot of symbolism happening right now with the latest news out of New Zealand. Others can probably explain the meanings, strange coincidences and the correct gematria angle.

However, I too have noticed the symmetrical or numerical occurrence of the letters in the name of the latest (anonymously funded) 'faux neo-Nazi' terrorist: Brenton Tarrant...
B r e n t o n T a r r a n t = 14 letters

(not including a middle name here)

A 2

R 3

T 3

N 3                                                                                   

E 1

O 1

B 1

Meaning of Tarrant = English topographic name for someone living on the banks of the Tarrant river in Dorset, England, of which the name is of the same origin as Trent.

Meaning of Brenton = is an English place name and surname. The surname Brenton indicates that one's ancestors came from a place called Brenton near Exminster, Devon, England, the original meaning of which was "Bryni's homestead". Bryni was an Old English given name based on the word bryne, "flame".

There appears to be a link with Turkey/Turkish President having been mentioned/written in the so-called Manifesto of the, suitably monikered, 'Facebook Terrorist'. (Facebook: because he live-streamed his killing spree through his Facebook page, causing an outcry and lots of hand-wringing towards Social Media sites for not stopping him, or removing the video in time*)

*What many journos fail to understand is that the internet doesn't work like that! We'll discuss this some other time.

Another out-of-the-blue terror (apparently) attack took place today (3 days later) in the Dutch city of Utrecht, where a man boarded a tram and opened fire shooting passengers, killing three, The perpetrator having Turkish roots, is called Gokmen Tanis...

Meaning of Gokmen = In Turkey Gokmen is Blue Eyed, Fair Haired Man.

Meaning of Tanis = In Urdu = Affection, Love, in Spanish slang = to make famous, 
in Greek = Serpent

I have no idea what these names could signify, but when put together they seem odd and strangely coded in symbolism.

A little controversial from one entry into the flag competition making headlines in the region back in 2015

From online news media November 2015: Fed up with its flag being confused with Australia's, New Zealand unveiled four possible options for a revamped ensign - and none of them feature the Union Flag.

Three of the designs that made the shortlist, from more than 10 000 entries submitted by the public, feature the native silver fern, already the country's unofficial national emblem.

The fourth depicts a koru, or unfurling fern frond, a traditional Maori symbol of new life and beginnings.
The Prime Minister at the time, John Key, who instigated the NZ$26m (£10.75m) flag-changing exercise, is a fan of the silver fern, already used as a logo by the All Blacks rugby team and other national sporting outfits. However, many New Zealanders were underwhelmed by the final four designs, chosen by the excitingly named Flag Consideration Committee.

To counter the politician's reference to Nazi flags, this was posted online at the time

N.B. This post is named after a 2006 movie which took its premise from a massacre that occurred in a small seaside village in New Zealand. The horror of that event seemed like a long time ago until Friday's out-of-the-blue terrorist incident in Christchurch. Looking into the tranquil psyche of the nation, it's amazing to see how the population cope with the grotesque. It's apparent that wounds do eventually heal, forgiveness is possible, but scars remain.
