The path of Venus
around Earth. Known as
the “morning star” and
the “light bringer”, the
planet bares the same
names as Lucifer.
The cover of Starboy
touches upon these symbolic
links and refer to a level of
higher occult initiation. The
cover depicts a duality
between two opposing
forces, Lucifer (represented
by lightning bolts) and Jesus
(the cross). When
internalized, the duality
creates the magical symbol of
the pentagram.
The symbolism of Starboy is
reminiscent of the symbolism
associated with David Bowie.
Indeed, as I described in my
article The Occult Universe
of David Bowie and the
Meaning of “Blackstar”
, Bowie had an alter persona
named Ziggy Stardust who
had strong occult and
kabbalistic leanings.
|
On the left are lightning
bolts, in the middle are
crosses (and a star) and
on the right are more
lightning bolts. There
are six symbols in each
column resulting in …
666.
The symbolism on this cover
touches upon one of the
most important concepts in
occultism: The link between
Lucifer, the morning star and
Venus.
In occult symbolism, the
lightning bolt represents
“descent” from the heavens
to Earth. For this reason the
symbol is sometimes used to
represent Lucifer who is said
to have descended from the
Kingdom of God to mankind.
Lucifer is also known as the
Morning Star and the Light
Bringer. The same terms
have been used since the
dawn of time to describe the
planet Venus. Venus is
esoterically associated with
the symbol of the 5-pointed
star and the pentagram due
to its “astronomical dance”
in the skies.
The pentagram (also
called pentacle,
pentalpha, pentancle,
pentagle, or pentangle)
is thought by some
occultists to trace its
esoteric significance to
an astronomical
observance of the
pattern of Venus’
conjunctions with the Sun
and has had many
meanings in many
cultures through the
ages.

Pentagram”

In a symbolic gesture,
The Weeknd breaks his
gold records and the
cover of his first album.
While some might think that
The Weeknd a Christian
rebirth, where he leaves his
material possessions to
follow the path of Jesus, that
is not what is happening. The
lyrics basically state the
exact opposite.
I’m tryna put you in the
worst mood, ah
P1 cleaner than your
church shoes, ah
Milli point two just to hurt
you, ah
All red Lamb’ just to
tease you, ah
None of these toys on
lease too, ah
Made your whole year in
a week too, yah
Main bitch out your
league too, ah
Side bitch out of your
league too, ah
In this verse, The Weeknd
states that his P1 (a sports
car) is cleaner than your
church shoes (the rewards
of the occult elite are greater
than the life of a humble
church going person). He
also he makes a lot more
money than you and that his
girl (and the girl he cheats
this girl with) are hotter than
yours.
Later in the song, explains
how he upgraded to a new
table where his girl can snort
cocaine from.
20 racks a table cut from
ebony
Cut that ivory into
skinny pieces
Then she clean it with
her face man I love my
baby
So, The Weeknd is not
exactly becoming Jesus. He
is simply boasting about the
things he was given because
he is chosen by the industry
(who is represented by
Lucifer in his previous
videos). Also, this line sums
it all even more blatantly:
We don’t pray for love,
we just pray for cars
So why is he destroying his
things? Because the video
symbolizes The Weeknd
entering a higher stage in
the occult system that rules
Hollywood.
The cover of the Starboy
single cover sums up the
occult transformation that is
happening.
|
The Weeknd passes by a
painting featuring Daft
Punk. Notice the falling
star in the background
and the black panther.
They foretell where The
Weeknd is heading.
The Weeknd then enters his
bedroom and sees something
that is not found in most
bedrooms across the
America.
A big illuminated cross
hangs in his room.
The cross literally
catches his eye. The
cross reflects inside a
single eye, the occult
elite’s favorite symbol.
The Weeknd then grabs the
cross, drags it on the floor,
and uses it to destroy his
own house. |
The “old” Weeknd sings
through the plastic.
In Starboy, The Weeknd kills
his old self again by
suffocating him. Why does he
keep killing himself? Because
each death represents a new
occult stage. He is now,
apparently, a “starboy”.
Starboy
The video begins with a
masked man entering The
Weeknd’s house.
The Weeknd, with his
trademark hairdo, is
tied up to a chair.
The masked man then gets
up and suffocates The
Weeknd with a plastic bag.
The Weeknd is killed
with a plastic bag on his
head.
When the killer removes his
mask, we are in for a big
surprise.
It’s The Weeknd! And he
shaved off that thing on
his head! There is so
much happening right
now!
So, not unlike in Tell Your
Friends, The Weeknd kills
his “previous self”. To
symbolize his rebirth, the
new The Weeknd has a new
hairstyle. The camera also
focuses on another important
item: The Weeknd’s cross
pendant. This piece of
jewelry underlines the
spiritual undertone of what is
happening on screen. Is The
Weeknd now a devout
Christian? Well, not really.
After all, he just committed
murder while wearing that
chain, so that is not a good
start. |
This man holding an
apple represents
Lucifer from the garden
of Eden and the industry
that lit up The Weeknd’s
career.
In Can’t Feel My Face,
Lucifer literally sets The
Weeknd on fire and
figuratively lights up his
career. Here’s a summation
of the trilogy.
The story begins with a
struggling The Weeknd
trying to get people to
notice him at gigs. The
devil then lights him on
fire and kick-starts his
career. The Weeknd
then realizes that the
deal is awful so he
buries this new singing
creation and shoots the
devil. However, the devil
is not human and
therefore cannot be
killed. Furthermore, he is
rather vengeful.
Although The Weeknd
believes he is alive and
free, he finds himself in
a car accident that
nearly kills him. As he
walks into the red room,
he realizes that he
cannot escape the devil.
The devil holds an apple
reminding him that the
deal is non-voidable.
The two ladies that were
with The Weeknd were
actually the devil’s
minions and the near-
fatal accident was
actually a warning: Any
further transgressions
will result in death.
Although the devil
brought him fame and
success, The Weeknd is
stuck in a loop where
any attempts to break
free lead him right back
to the devil and his
apple.
In Tell Your Friends, The
Weeknd buries himself in the
desert. |
While, at face value, starboy
could mean a boy who is a
star in the entertainment
business, the symbolism
associated with the song
introduces an occult aspect
to it all. Indeed, the video
has a ritualistic tone which
plays on the classical death
and rebirth narrative found
in esoteric initiations. Did The
Weeknd ‘ascend’ in the
occult world, making him a
starboy?
The Previous Trilogy
In my first article about The
Weeknd
, I analysed the videos Can’t
Feel My Face, Tell Your
Friends and The Hills which
form a trilogy. When these
three videos are pieced
together, they tell a story
about The Weeknd meeting a
figure holding an apple – a
reference to Lucifer in the
garden of Eden. |
The Weeknd’s collaboration
with Daft Punk is a somewhat
perplexing one. While the
lyrics celebrate the singer’s
fame and material
possessions, the video
depicts him destroying his
house using a red glowing
cross. All the while, The
Weeknd chants that he’s a
“starboy”, a term that has
more than one meaning. |
Starboy features The Weeknd destroying his house using an illuminated cross. This strange scene has a powerful occult meaning, especially when one considers The Weeknd’s previous videos. We’ll take a closer look at the occult meaning of Starboy.. Leggo. |
There are great
opportunities in the heart of
Lagos…
With these opportunities
come an intense congestion;
causing pressures that
threaten to paralyze the
city’s circulation, its growth
and its people.
To reduce this pressure, we
propose an operation – the
4th Mainland Bridge. The
operation will be the
insertion of a bypass; a
bridge within the body of
Lagos. In addition to this
bridge, we also propose a
new heart to support the
bridge. This ‘new bridge and
new heart’ in the body of
Lagos will not be typical
infrastructure; they will
connect people in large
numbers and improve their
natural flow through a
reorganization of vehicular,
waterways, and pedestrian
modes of transportation.
The 2 level bridge will not
only function as a means for
vehicular traffic on its upper
level, it will stimulate and
accommodate pedestrian,
social, commercial and
cultural interactions on it’s
lower level – ‘Lagos Life’ –
with its tropical environment
and intimate street level
exchanges. The Fourth
Mainland Bridge in
conjunction with existing
road networks would
establish a primary ring road
around Lagos. This ring road
will provide alternative
traffic routes from Lekki to
Ikorodu, Ikeja to Ajah,
relieving the 3rd Mainland
bridge of its overstretched
capacity.
With this improved flow of
people across Lagos, the city
will be relieved of traffic
congestion, will maximize its
great opportunities and grow
better There are great

John Glenn, whose 1962
flight as the first U.S.
astronaut to orbit the Earth
made him an all-American
hero and propelled him to a
long career in the U.S.
Senate, died Thursday. The
last survivor of the original
Mercury 7 astronauts was
95.
Glenn died at the James
Cancer Hospital in Columbus,
Ohio, where he was
hospitalized for more than a
week, said Hank Wilson,
communications director for
the John Glenn School of
Public Affairs.
John Herschel Glenn Jr. had
two major career paths that
often intersected: flying and
politics, and he soared in
both of them.
PHOTOS: Stars We Lost In
2016
Before he gained fame
orbiting the world, he was a
fighter pilot in two wars, and
as a test pilot, he set a
transcontinental speed
record. He later served 24
years in the Senate from
Ohio. A rare setback was a
failed 1984 run for the
Democratic presidential
nomination.
His long political career
enabled him to return to
space in the shuttle
Discovery at age 77 in 1998,
a cosmic victory lap that he
relished and turned into a
teachable moment about
growing old. He holds the
record for the oldest person
in space.
WATCH: The Obama Family:
How They're Handling Their
Final Days In The White
House
More than anything, Glenn
was the ultimate and uniquely
American space hero: a
combat veteran with an easy
smile, a strong marriage of
70 years and nerves of
steel. Schools, a space
center and the Columbus
airport were named after him.
So were children.
The Soviet Union leaped
ahead in space exploration
by putting the Sputnik 1
satellite in orbit in 1957, and
then launched the first man
in space, cosmonaut Yuri
Gagarin, in a 108-minute
orbital flight on April 12,
1961. After two suborbital
flights by Alan Shepard Jr.
and Gus Grissom, it was up
to Glenn to be the first
American to orbit the Earth.
"Godspeed, John Glenn,"
fellow astronaut Scott
Carpenter radioed just
before Glenn thundered off a
Cape Canaveral launch pad,
now a National Historic
Landmark, to a place America
had never been. At the time
of that Feb. 20, 1962, flight,
Glenn was 40 years old.
With the all-business
phrase, "Roger, the clock is
operating, we're underway,"
Glenn radioed to Earth as he
started his 4 hours, 55
minutes and 23 seconds in
space. Years later, he
explained he said that
because he didn't feel like he
had lifted off and it was the
only way he knew he had
launched.
PHOTOS: Stars We Lost In
2015
During the flight, Glenn
uttered a phrase that he
would repeat frequently
throughout life: "Zero G, and
I feel fine."
"It still seems so vivid to
me," Glenn said in a 2012
interview with The
Associated Press on the 50th
anniversary of the flight. "I
still can sort of pseudo feel
some of those same
sensations I had back in
those days during launch
and all."
Glenn said he was often
asked if he was afraid, and
he replied, "If you are
talking about fear that
overcomes what you are
supposed to do, no. You've
trained very hard for those
flights."
Glenn's ride in the cramped
Friendship 7 capsule had its
scary moments, however.
Sensors showed his heat
shield was loose after three
orbits, and Mission Control
worried he might burn up
during re-entry when
temperatures reached 3,000
degrees. But the heat shield
held.
Even before then, Glenn flew
in dangerous skies. He was a
fighter pilot in World War II
and Korea who flew low, got
his plane riddled with bullets,
flew with baseball great Ted
Williams and earned macho
nicknames during 149 combat
missions. And as a test pilot
he broke aviation records.
The green-eyed, telegenic
Marine even won $25,000 on
the game show "Name That
Tune" with a 10-year-old
partner. And that was before
April 6, 1959, when his life
changed by being selected
as one of the Mercury 7
astronauts and instantly
started attracting more than
his share of the spotlight.
Glenn in later years regaled
crowds with stories of
NASA's testing of would-be
astronauts, from
psychological tests - come
with 20 answers to the
open-ended question "I am"
- to surviving spinning that
pushed 16 times normal
gravity against his body,
popping blood vessels.
But it wasn't nearly as bad
as coming to Cape Canaveral
to see the first unmanned
rocket test.
WATCH: Remembering Nancy
Reagan: Her Most Stylish
Moments
"We're watching this thing go
up and up and up ... and all
at once it blew up right over
us, and that was our
introduction to the Atlas,"
Glenn said in 2011. "We
looked at each other and
wanted to have a meeting
with the engineers in the
morning."
In 1959, Glenn wrote in Life
magazine: "Space travel is at
the frontier of my profession.
It is going to be
accomplished, and I want to
be in on it. There is also an
element of simple duty
involved. I am convinced
that I have something to
give this project."
That sense of duty was
instilled at an early age.
Glenn was born July 18,
1921, in Cambridge, Ohio,
and grew up in New Concord,
Ohio, with the nickname
"Bud." He joined the town
band as a trumpeter at age
10 and accompanied his
father one Memorial Day in
an echoing version of
"Taps." In his 1999 memoir,
Glenn wrote "that feeling
sums up my childhood. It
formed my beliefs and my
sense of responsibility.
Everything that came after
that just came naturally."
His love of flight was lifelong;
John Glenn Sr. spoke of the
many summer evenings he
arrived home to find his son
running around the yard with
outstretched arms,
pretending he was piloting a
plane. Last June, at a
ceremony renaming the
Columbus airport for him,
Glenn recalled imploring his
parents to take him to that
airport to look at planes
whenever they passed
through the city: "It was
something I was fascinated
with." He piloted his own
private plane until age 90.
Glenn's goal of becoming a
commercial pilot was changed
by World War II. He left
Muskingum College to join the
Naval Air Corps and soon
after, the Marines.
He became a successful
fighter pilot who ran 59
hazardous missions, often
as a volunteer or as the
requested backup of
assigned pilots. A war later,
in Korea, he earned the
nickname "MiG-Mad
Marine" (or "Old Magnet A
- ," which he sometimes
paraphrased as "Old Magnet
Tail."
"I was the one who went in
low and got them," Glenn
said, explaining that he often
landed with huge holes in the
side of his aircraft because
he didn't like to shoot from
high altitudes.
PHOTOS: Stars We Lost In
2014
Glenn's public life began
when he broke the
transcontinental airspeed
record, bursting from Los
Angeles to New York City in
three hours, 23 minutes and
8 seconds. With his Crusader
averaging 725 mph, the 1957
flight proved the jet could
endure stress when pushed
to maximum speeds over
long distances.
In New York, he got a hero's
welcome - his first tickertape
parade. He got another after
his flight on Friendship 7.
That mission also introduced
Glenn to politics. He
addressed a joint session of
Congress, and dined at the
White House. He became
friends with President
Kennedy and ally and friend
of his brother Robert. The
Kennedys urged him to enter
politics, and after a difficult
few starts he did.
Glenn spent 24 years in the
U.S. Senate, representing
Ohio longer than any other
senator in the state's
history. He announced his
impending retirement in 1997,
35 years to the day after he
became the first American in
orbit, saying, "There is still
no cure for the common
birthday."
Glenn returned to space in a
long-awaited second flight in
1998 aboard the space
shuttle Discovery. He got to
move around aboard the
shuttle for far longer - nine
days compared with just
under five hours in 1962 -
as well as sleep and
experiment with bubbles in
weightlessness.
In a news conference from
space, Glenn said, "To look
out at this kind of creation
out here and not believe in
God is to me impossible."
NASA tailored a series of
geriatric-reaction
experiments to create a
scientific purpose for Glenn's
mission, but there was more
to it than that: a revival of
the excitement of the earliest
days of the space race, a
public relations bonanza and
the gift of a lifetime.
"America owed John Glenn a
second flight," NASA
Administrator Dan Goldin said.
Glenn would later write that
when he mentioned the idea
of going back into space to
his wife, Annie, she
responded: "Over my dead
body."
Glenn and his crewmates flew
3.6 million miles, compared
with 75,000 miles aboard
Friendship 7.
Shortly before he ran for the
1984 Democratic presidential
nomination, a new generation
was introduced to astronaut
Glenn with the film adaptation
of Tom Wolfe's book "The
Right Stuff." He was
portrayed as the ultimate
straight arrow amid a group
of hard-partying astronauts.
Glenn said in 2011: "I don't
think any of us cared for the
movie 'The Right Stuff'; I
know I didn't."
Glenn was unable to
capitalize on the publicity,
though, and his poorly
organized campaign was
short-lived. He dropped out
of the race with his campaign
$2.5 million in the red - a
debt that lingered even after
he retired from the Senate in
1999.
He later joked that except
for going into debt,
humiliating his family and
gaining 16 pounds, running
for president was a good
experience.
Glenn generally steered clear
of campaigns after that,
saying he didn't want to mix
politics with his second space
flight. He sat out the Senate
race to succeed him - he was
hundreds of miles above
Earth on Election Day - and
largely was quiet in the 2000
presidential race.
He first ran for the Senate in
1964 but left the race when
he suffered a concussion
after slipping in the bathroom
and hitting his head on the
tub.
He tried again in 1970 but
was defeated in the primary
by Howard Metzenbaum, who
later lost the general election
to Robert Taft Jr. It was the
start of a complex
relationship with
Metzenbaum, whom he later
joined in the Senate.
For the next four years,
Glenn devoted his attention
to business and investments
that made him a
multimillionaire. He had joined
the board of Royal Crown
Cola after the aborted 1964
campaign and was president
of Royal Crown International
from 1967 to 1969. In the
early 1970s, he remained
with Royal Crown and
invested in a chain of Holiday
Inns.
In 1974, Glenn ran against
Metzenbaum in what turned
into a bitter primary and won
the election. He eventually
made peace with
Metzenbaum, who won
election to the Senate in
1976.
Glenn set a record in 1980
by winning re-election with a
1.6 million vote margin.
He became an expert on
nuclear weaponry and was
the Senate's most dogged
advocate of nonproliferation.
He was the leading supporter
of the B-1 bomber when
many in Congress doubted
the need for it. As chairman
of the Governmental Affairs
Committee, he turned a
microscope on waste and
fraud in the federal
bureaucracy.
Glenn said the lowest point of
his life was 1990, when he
and four other senators
came under scrutiny for their
connections to Charles
Keating, the notorious
financier who eventually
served prison time for his
role in the costly savings
and loan failure of the 1980s.
The Senate Ethics Committee
cleared Glenn of serious
wrongdoing but said he
"exercised poor judgment."
The episode was the only
brush with scandal in his
long public career and didn't
diminish his popularity in
Ohio.
Glenn joked that the only
astronaut he was envious of
was his fellow Ohioan: Neil
Armstrong, the first man to
walk on the moon.
"I've been very fortunate to
have a lot of great
experiences in my life and
I'm thankful for them," he
said in 2012.
In 1943, Glenn married his
childhood sweetheart, Anna
Margaret Castor. They met
when they were toddlers,
and when she had mumps as
a teenager, he came to her
house, cut a hole in her
bedroom window screen, and
passed her a radio to keep
her company, a friend
recounted.
"I don't remember the first
time I told Annie I loved her,
or the first time she told me,"
Glenn would write in his
memoir. "It was just
something we both knew." He
bought her a diamond
engagement ring in 1942 for
$125. It's never been
replaced.
They had two children,
Carolyn and John David.
He and his wife, Annie, split
their later years between
Washington and Columbus.
Both served as trustees at
their alma mater, Muskingum
College. Glenn spent time
promoting the John Glenn
School of Public Affairs at
Ohio State University, which
also houses an archive of
his private papers and
photographs.

Sweden is to open the
world’s open the world’s
first permanent ice hotel.
The permanent year-round
ice hotel is scheduled to
open to the public mid-
December.
The resort, known as
Icehotel 365, hosts 55 rooms
including 20 suites and is
made up of 30,000 liters of
frozen water from the Torne
River.
The hotel uses a solar-
powered refrigerating plant
used to keep the ice and
snow that make up the hotel
frozen.
“The nature and
environment are not only a
huge source for inspiration
for Icehotel, but also a
necessity to create the hotel
year after year,” the hotel’s
website states.
The hotel is scheduled to be
completed on December 16.
“The guests are a part of
something historical,”
Icehotel CEO Yngve
Bergqvist said. “They
inaugurate the first ice hotel
in the world that will be open
year-round and can
experience the finishing
touches of the build up close,
which is a memory that will
last a lifetime.”
Guests at the hotel will have
the opportunity to create
their own ice sculpture, swim
in the Torne River and
sauna and observe an ice
gallery from over forty
artists, designers and
architects from nine different
countries that will melt back
into the river and eventually
be replaced.
“They also have the
opportunity to follow the
artists who are finalising
sculpting their suites, and
meet builders, designers and
creators – the people who
during the past months have
endeavoured and created
Icehotel 365,” Bergqvist
said

Chukwudi Akasike, Port
Harcourt
THE Department of State
Services has arraigned
three persons before a
Magistrate’s Court in Port
Harcourt, Rivers State, for
the killing of an employee of
the Niger Delta Development
Commission, Miss Sophia
Horsefall.
The suspects were said to
have committed the offence
on November 8, 2016, at
Rumukparale in the Obio/
Akpor Local Government Area
of the state.

They were arraigned on
three counts bordering on
murder.
The defendants, who were
identified as Sotonye Martin,
Innocent Oluche and
Wachukwu Ugochuckwu, were
accused of stabbing their
victim to death with a
jackknife.
The counsel for the DSS, Mr.
C.S. Eze, said Martin (first
defendant) lured and killed
Horsefall at the residence of
Oluche, the second
defendant in the matter.
Eze told the court that the
victim’s corpse was buried in
a shallow grave, adding that
Martin and Oluche invited the
third defendant (Ugochukwu),
a spiritualist, to the shallow
grave to perform some
rituals and tie the spirit of
the victim.
He added that the victim had
an eight-year-old daughter
before she was killed.
The charges read, “That
you, Sotonye Martin,
Innocent Oluche and
Wachukwu Ugochukwu, on
the 8th day of November
2016, at Rumukparale, in the
Obio/Akpor LGA, within the
jurisdiction of this court, did
conspire among yourselves
to commit felony to wit:
murder of Sophia Horsefall, a
member of staff of the NDDC,
thereby committing an
offence contrary to Section
324 of the Criminal Code, Law
of Rivers State, 1999.
“That you, Innocent Oluche
and Wachukwu Ugochukwu,
on the 8th day of November
2016, at the place described
above, did kill Sophia
Horsefall, a member of staff
of the NDDC, by stabbing her
to death with a jackknife,
thereby committing an
offence contrary to Section
316 and punishable under
Section 319 of the Criminal
Code, Law of Rivers State,
1999.
“That you, Sotonye Martin,
Innocent Oluche and
Wachukwu Ugochukwu, on
the date and at the place
described above, abetted
the murder of Sophia
Horsefall, a member of staff
of the NDDC, thereby
commiting an offence
contrary to Section 322 of
the Criminal Code, Law of
Rivers State, 1999.”
The defendants’ pleas were
not taken.
The Chief Magistrate, F.
Alikor, ordered that the
accused be remanded in
custody.
Explaining that the court had
no jurisdiction over the
matter, the chief magistrate
directed that the case file be
transferred to the
Directorate of Public

Godswill Akpabio as
Governor of Akwa Ibom
state paid the
legendary Pele of Brazil
$300,000 just to appear
at the commissioning
of the newly built
Stadium called Nest of
Champions in Uyo.
Unfortunately, Akwa
Ibom state
government changed
the date of the
commissioning already
communicated and
agreed with Pele's
management. Pele
having agreed to a prior
engagement
somewhere else on the
new date of the
commissioning refused
to show up at Uyo.
Now, the Akwa Ibom
state government
under Udom Emmanuel
want Pele to return the
$300,000 for not
coming. Of course,
Pele's management
refused and informed
the state government
that having reneged on
the agreed date of the
commissioning by
changing the date as
stated in the MOU, they
are not under any
obligation to return the
said money.
Hmmm... $300,000 just
for Pele to appear at
the commissioning of a
stadium. An old man
who last played football
over 30 years ago. Now,
tell me if our politicians
don't need psychiatric
evaluation. The same
Akpabio is today the
Minority Leader of the
Senate of the Federal
Republic of Nigeria. Yet,
you want Nigeria to
grow and compete with
other nations of the
world with politicians
who has this kind of
mentality.
It's funny, Niger Delta
Avengers will not ask
someone like Akpabio
what 13% oil derivation
was spent on. Now,
you know what they
spent your money on;
frivolity! A European
leader dare not spend
money in such
manner...ohh, they
won't even think like
that. They have a
different mentality to
governance.
Meanwhile, in that
state where a Governor
is doling out such
ridiculous amount of
money has youths who
has no job. Yet, they
are ever ready to hail
Akpabio and be his
political thug come
election period.
Sometimes, I wonder
which kind of country is
this. Do you know how
many classroom blocks
$300,000 can build? Do
you know how many
farmlands that amount
could get cultivated? Do
you know how many
SME can get a lifeline
through soft loans that
can be provided with
that kind of money?
Why do some of our
leaders act like they are
accursed |
"I was the one who went in
low and got them," Glenn
said, explaining that he often
landed with huge holes in the
side of his aircraft because
he didn't like to shoot from
high altitudes.

Glenn's public life began
when he broke the
transcontinental airspeed
record, bursting from Los
Angeles to New York City in
three hours, 23 minutes and
8 seconds. With his Crusader
averaging 725 mph, the 1957
flight proved the jet could
endure stress when pushed
to maximum speeds over
long distances.
In New York, he got a hero's
welcome - his first tickertape
parade. He got another after
his flight on Friendship 7.
That mission also introduced
Glenn to politics. He
addressed a joint session of
Congress, and dined at the
White House. He became
friends with President
Kennedy and ally and friend
of his brother Robert. The
Kennedys urged him to enter
politics, and after a difficult
few starts he did.
Glenn spent 24 years in the
U.S. Senate, representing
Ohio longer than any other
senator in the state's
history. He announced his
impending retirement in 1997,
35 years to the day after he
became the first American in
orbit, saying, "There is still
no cure for the common
birthday."
Glenn returned to space in a
long-awaited second flight in
1998 aboard the space
shuttle Discovery. He got to
move around aboard the
shuttle for far longer - nine
days compared with just
under five hours in 1962 -
as well as sleep and
experiment with bubbles in
weightlessness.
In a news conference from
space, Glenn said, "To look
out at this kind of creation
out here and not believe in
God is to me impossible."
NASA tailored a series of
geriatric-reaction
experiments to create a
scientific purpose for Glenn's
mission, but there was more
to it than that: a revival of
the excitement of the earliest
days of the space race, a
public relations bonanza and
the gift of a lifetime.
"America owed John Glenn a
second flight," NASA
Administrator Dan Goldin said.
Glenn would later write that
when he mentioned the idea
of going back into space to
his wife, Annie, she
responded: "Over my dead
body."
Glenn and his crewmates flew
3.6 million miles, compared
with 75,000 miles aboard
Friendship 7.
Shortly before he ran for the
1984 Democratic presidential
nomination, a new generation
was introduced to astronaut
Glenn with the film adaptation
of Tom Wolfe's book "The
Right Stuff." He was
portrayed as the ultimate
straight arrow amid a group
of hard-partying astronauts.
Glenn said in 2011: "I don't
think any of us cared for the
movie 'The Right Stuff'; I
know I didn't."
Glenn was unable to
capitalize on the publicity,
though, and his poorly
organized campaign was
short-lived. He dropped out
of the race with his campaign
$2.5 million in the red - a
debt that lingered even after
he retired from the Senate in
1999.
He later joked that except
for going into debt,
humiliating his family and
gaining 16 pounds, running
for president was a good
experience.
Glenn generally steered clear
of campaigns after that,
saying he didn't want to mix
politics with his second space
flight. He sat out the Senate
race to succeed him - he was
hundreds of miles above
Earth on Election Day - and
largely was quiet in the 2000
presidential race.
He first ran for the Senate in
1964 but left the race when
he suffered a concussion
after slipping in the bathroom
and hitting his head on the
tub.
He tried again in 1970 but
was defeated in the primary
by Howard Metzenbaum, who
later lost the general election
to Robert Taft Jr. It was the
start of a complex
relationship with
Metzenbaum, whom he later
joined in the Senate.
For the next four years,
Glenn devoted his attention
to business and investments
that made him a
multimillionaire. He had joined
the board of Royal Crown
Cola after the aborted 1964
campaign and was president
of Royal Crown International
from 1967 to 1969. In the
early 1970s, he remained
with Royal Crown and
invested in a chain of Holiday
Inns.
In 1974, Glenn ran against
Metzenbaum in what turned
into a bitter primary and won
the election. He eventually
made peace with
Metzenbaum, who won
election to the Senate in
1976.
Glenn set a record in 1980
by winning re-election with a
1.6 million vote margin.
He became an expert on
nuclear weaponry and was
the Senate's most dogged
advocate of nonproliferation.
He was the leading supporter
of the B-1 bomber when
many in Congress doubted
the need for it. As chairman
of the Governmental Affairs
Committee, he turned a
microscope on waste and
fraud in the federal
bureaucracy.
Glenn said the lowest point of
his life was 1990, when he
and four other senators
came under scrutiny for their
connections to Charles
Keating, the notorious
financier who eventually
served prison time for his
role in the costly savings
and loan failure of the 1980s.
The Senate Ethics Committee
cleared Glenn of serious
wrongdoing but said he
"exercised poor judgment."
The episode was the only
brush with scandal in his
long public career and didn't
diminish his popularity in
Ohio.
Glenn joked that the only
astronaut he was envious of
was his fellow Ohioan: Neil
Armstrong, the first man to
walk on the moon.
"I've been very fortunate to
have a lot of great
experiences in my life and
I'm thankful for them," he
said in 2012.
In 1943, Glenn married his
childhood sweetheart, Anna
Margaret Castor. They met
when they were toddlers,
and when she had mumps as
a teenager, he came to her
house, cut a hole in her
bedroom window screen, and
passed her a radio to keep
her company, a friend
recounted.
"I don't remember the first
time I told Annie I loved her,
or the first time she told me,"
Glenn would write in his
memoir. "It was just
something we both knew." He
bought her a diamond
engagement ring in 1942 for
$125. It's never been
replaced.
They had two children,
Carolyn and John David.
He and his wife, Annie, split
their later years between
Washington and Columbus.
Both served as trustees at
their alma mater, Muskingum
College. Glenn spent time
promoting the John Glenn
School of Public Affairs at
Ohio State University, which
also houses an archive of
his private papers and
photographs.
