Time to revisit the Disaster that was the crash of Kobe Bryant’s helicopter. So many people are so invested in the life and death of Kobe Bryant and his lovely daughter. Not to mention all the other innocent people who lost their lives. We care. Much like the world cares about Jon Bennet. We want to see resolution and closer and know that we never will.
It breaks our hearts. Not only for those who died, but for their family, friends and for all the people around the world who are affected emotionally, spiritually and mentally by the trauma of the whole thing.
It seems that Kobe Bryant’s name is back in the news and the interest in the story is rising again. There are some developments that I had not covered in my past posts about Kobe. So I am sharing them here. If you have not seen my earlier posts check them out.

Nike Will Relaunch Its Kobe Bryant Line on Kobe Day 2023
CEO John Donahoe revealed the news during Nike’s recent Q4 earnings call.
Nike held its Q4 earnings call for 2023 yesterday, and among all the numbers, projections and business-speak — the brand surpassed its sales projections but missed its earnings goal for the first time in three years — there was a tasty morsel for hungry sneakerheads to chew on: the Swoosh is set to relaunch Kobe Bryant‘s signature line later this year.
As announced by Nike CEO John Donahoe, the Nike Kobe line will return on August 24, Kobe Day 2023. Since Kobe Bryant’s death in January 2020, the ultra-popular line has had something of a tumultuous run: Bryant’s partnership with Nike expired in 2021 and his estate reportedly had no plans to renew the deal at the time. A handful of releases and leaks (the final pieces of the expired deal) trickled out over 2021, and the leak of one in particular, the Kobe Protro 6 “Mambacita Sweet 16,” revealed in June of that year, raised the ire of Kobe’s wife Vanessa Bryant, who said that it was “NOT approved for sale” and that she wasn’t sure “how someone else has their hands on shoes I designed in honor of my daughter Gigi and we don’t.”
Through all of this, Kobe’s shoes remained so popular with NBA players that there was a “shortage” of the larger sizes they needed by November 2021.Thankfully, in March 2022, all was made well, as Nike announced a new partnership with Kobe’s estate and officially announced the “Mambacita Sweet 16.” News of various forthcoming Nike Kobe releases went from a trickle to a steady stream — pairs rumored to release include the Kobe 6 “Prelude,” the Kobe 6 “Reverse Grinch” and the Kobe 8 “Triple White” — while DeMar DeRozan signed a four-year deal with the Swoosh to remain the face of the Nike Kobe line.
The return of the Kobe line arrives at an opportune time for Nike, which has struggled with a glut of excess inventory at stores and flagging interest around some of its energy products over the last 12 months. At the time of writing, more info on the line’s return has yet to be announced, but look for programming to start rolling out later this summer.

Dear Simon and CluesForum Members,I have been looking at this prior to the beginning of this thread. I hope you don’t mind me adding a somewhat tangential contribution and hope you will indulge me as I attempt to add a piece of the puzzle.
The Kobe Bryant Coronavirus Connection
Now, prior to connecting some dots, I was investigating the Kobe Bryant death which I believe is another silly celebrity death hoax. This was verified after only a few days when suddenly my searches were flooded with stories of Kobe’s “widow” Vanessa and another one of his daughters Natalia involved in an online death hoax. So many articles began to appear about this story, so that the real Kobe Bryant death hoax research was quickly buried and much more difficult to find. How convenient and of course we’ve seen this part of the playbook in the past, have we not? Let’s continue…
Of course, the first thing that should be mentioned, is that Kobe Bryant grew up in Italy. He wore the number 33 in high school. Kobe Bryant is said to have “died” on 1/26/2020 which happens to be the very same day that the first case of Coronavirus was reported in California. Kobe Bryant, who has a tattoo of a crown (corona) with a monarch butterfly on his right deltoid, is said to have been “buried” in Corona del Mar, California.

(but is it? Or is it dedicated to the VANESSA BUTTERFLY? MKULTRA – was Vanessa Kobe’s handler?)
(Image source: @nbastats official Twitter)
A crown is usually considered to be symbolic of a king.. While the tattoo is of a traditional crown, Bryant had butterfly wings added to it. As per reports, a butterfly crown tattoo is usually a symbol of emotions, respect, feelings, power, authority and connections. Over the years, Bryant added to his butterfly crown tattoo by shading around it. But, ANYONE WHO IS FAMILIAR WITH OCCULT SYMBOLISM KNOWS THAT THE BUTTERFLY REPRESENTS MIND CONTROL. IT is also associated with SEX KITTEN PROGRAMMING.

Updated July 07, 2023. Popularity:652. Origin:British. Meaning:Butterfly. Vanessa is a girl’s name of British origin, meaning “butterfly.” This title was brought to life poetically in 1712 when Anglo-Irish author Jonathan Swift needed a name for a character in a poem he was writing.
|
Vanessa is a traditionally feminine name with all sorts of mythological roots. In Latin it can mean “of Venus,” the god of love; in Greek, however, it’s a reference to the mystic goddess Phanessa, who is Pandora’s daughter and bore a fascination for butterflies. (Vanessa has also been said to mean “butterfly” and is also the name of a specific butterfly genus.) |
![]() Vanessa (butterfly)![]() Vanessa is a genus of brush-footed butterflies in the tribe Nymphalini. It has a near-global distribution and includes conspicuous species such as the red admirals (e.g., red admiral, Indian red admiral, New Zealand red admiral), the Kamehameha, and the painted ladies of the Cynthia group (formerly a subgenus): Painted lady, American painted lady, West Coast lady, Australian painted lady, etc. For African admirals, see genus Antanartia. Recently, several members traditionally considered to be in the genus Antanartia have been determined to belong within the genus Vanessa.[1] The name of the genus may have been taken from the character Vanessa in Jonathan Swift’s poem “Cadenus and Vanessa,” which is the source of the woman’s name Vanessa. In the poem Vanessa is called a “nymph” eleven times, and the genus is closely related to the previously-named genus Nymphalis.[2] Though the name has been suggested to be a variant of “Phanessa”,[3] from the name of an Ancient Greek deity, this is unlikely. The name of the deity is actually not “Phanessa” but Phanes. Johan Christian Fabricius, the entomologist who named this genus, normally used the original forms of the names of classical divinities when he created new scientific names. |

Kobe Bryant tattoos: Kobe Bryant and Vanessa Bryant
Right below his flower crown tattoo, Kobe Bryant wrote Vanessa’s name along with angel wings attached to a nimbuswith the word Psalm and roman number XXVII. Bryant got the tattoos made in 2003, when he was accused of rape charges. Bryant admitted to committing adultery but denied the rape charges.
Word of the Day – nimbus – Dictionary.com Nimbus, “shining cloud surrounding a deity; dense clouds with ragged edges,” comes straight from Latin nimbus, “rainstorm, rain cloud, cloud (of smoke), cloudburst.” Nimbus comes from a complicated Proto-Indo-European root (e)nebh-, (n)embh– “damp, vapor, cloud,” as in Sanskrit nábhas– “fog,vapor, cloud, heaven,” …Oct 21, 2020 |

During a press conference with Vanessa, Bryant apologized to her and their family, calling her his backbone, blessing and the piece of his heart. The case was reportedly settled outside of the court a year later.
The word ‘Psalm’ and roman numeral ‘XXVII’ most likely refers to a Bible passage. Popular tattoo artist Mister Cartoon, who is situated in Los Angeles, was the one who drew Bryant’s tattoo and had also posted about it on social media. As per reports, the tattoos could represent his faith as a Catholic, along with being a reference to his struggles. (Unfortunately, most people read “Catholic” and assume “Christian”. However, there is nothing Holy or Righteous about the ROMAN CATCHOLIC CHURCH. That organization is not serving the CREATOR GOD and NEVER HAS, it was perverted from it’s beginning. It was created by the Romans to stamp our the new Faith in Christ. It is from its onset a ROMAN religion serving ROMAN gods and goddesses. The so called saints they worship are ancient demonic spirits. Followers of the Roman Catholic Church are deceived.)
The first website to report the coronavirus in Los Angeles reported at 11:14am, 10 minutes before TMZ reports the helicopter crash. Some of you may remember that it was TMZ that first reported all of the bizarre happenings around Michael Jackson’s “death” … Now, not to digress, but Kobe Bryant was also friends with Michael Jackson, and referred to him as his mentor.

But wait, there’s more. You see, Kobe Bryant died in a Helicopter. Perhaps I shouldn’t mention that “Helicopter” = 666 in English Gematria or 111 in Simple Gematria, but I did find it quite curious that Kobe Bryant’s death was actually “predicted” in a cartoon called Legends of Chamberlain Heights.

The helicopter also received a new paint job, including the Nike swoosh logo and Bryant’s signature “sheath” insignia after the ownership change five years ago, according to the report.

Spiritual Meaning of Letter N

Esoteric Letters
Letter N attributes | Meaning and Specification |

Symbol | Fish, esoteric teachings, spiritual growth |
Spiritual meaning | Verb-ing, treading position |

Meaning of Letter N
Letter N corresponds to Nun (noon) in the Hebrew alphabet, meaning spiritual growth. The symbol of N is fish, which is symbolic of esoteric knowledge that is being kept hidden from the mass. In many faiths, fish were drawn to resemble the divinity of gods and goddesses.
When someone eats the bread in the Bible, it allegorically represents the act of digesting the esoteric knowledge. Thus, the spiritual meaning of letter N is exactly the mystical knowledge that is hidden from the mass.
The number for N is 5,which is the number of MAN. By digesting the knowledge, you shall become M-A-N = Master – Able – Noble.
Letter N as striding posture of Horus
In Egypt, letter N symbolizes the striding posture of Horus. Horus is one of the main gods
in the Egyptian Trinity: Osiris, Isis, and Horus.
- Osiris is known as “once wise”, meaning the first bloodline of the Egyptian kingdom.
- Isis is “twice wise”, representing “double wisdom” and the duality of all things.
- Horus is regarded as “thrice wise”, symbolizing “triple wisdom”, or “wisdom in action”.
As Horus is the “son” of Osiris and Isis, the lowercase “n” represents a son. It serves as a determinator of male attributes signifying the masculine principle in nature, such as son, scion, and Ibn in Arabic, meaning “son of”, according to Resurrect Isis.
Therefore, many words such as Pythagoras, Luther, America can be changed into a person by adding this determinator: Pythagorean, Lutheran, American.
Spiritually, the concept of letter N is closely related to the syllable “-ing” after a verb. “I” is our spinal column, N represents the striding position, and G is the gonads.
Thus, the syllable “ing” symbolizes Horus doing the sexual act of multiplying his “seeds”. Remember that Horus stands for “wisdom in action”, and “Verb-ing” means that someone is “in action”.

- Represent the number of the earth.
- According to R. Allendy, it is “the differentiation, 2, in cosmic series, 70, producing the extreme multiplicity of the aspects, moreover interdependent between them (7 + 2 = 9)”. It would express also the solidarity in the multiplicity (8 x 9) showing the harmony and the reciprocity in universal relations of things.
- Sixty-twelve is considered as harmful in the apocryphal books of the Old Testament that speak about the 72 dead (Will of Abraham) and of the 72 sicknesses (Life of Adam and Eve).

- The 70 ancients accompanying Moses that received an outpouring of the spirit, plus the 2 absent ones which had remained in the camp, Eldad and Medad. (Nb 11,25-26)
- The 72 races resulting from Noah. They are enumerated in chapter 10 of the Genesis. There are fifteen descendants by Japhet, thirty by Cham, twenty-seven by Sem.

Perhaps somebody started asking questions, as it would be clear as day that this is NOT Kobe Bryant’s leased helicopter. Apparently, the Los Angeles Sheriff removed any additional evidence by ordering “photos of the bodies” to be deleted! Perhaps the Sheriff is unaware that destroying or interfering with evidence from a crime scene is indeed a felony! Someone might want to call the cops!
LOS ANGELES — Los Angeles County Sheriff Alex Villanueva said eight deputies allegedly took or shared graphic photos of the Kobe Bryant helicopter crash scene, but he ordered them deleted.
“That was my No. 1 priority, was to make sure those photos no longer exist,” Villanueva told NBC News for a story Monday. “We identified the deputies involved, they came to the station on their own and had admitted they had taken them and they had deleted them. And we’re content that those involved did that.”
The sheriff said he learned the week of the crash that as many as eight deputies may have been involved.
KOBE BRYANT

Team: Los Angeles Lakers
Kobe Bryant is the name of one of the most awarded NBA players in history, which was born in 1978
(1+9+7+8= 25 or 2005) and died in 2020. The legendary player shared his name with the exclusive collection, designed byNike, which was launched at the beginning of the 2000s. (Nike the goddess of VICTORY)
Meaning and history

Before the launch of collaboration all collection with Nike, the famous basketball player worked with Adidas and created several models of sneakers, where his profile’s silhouette with Afro-hairstyle worked as the logo. It was placed directly on the shoe and was embossed on the leather details, featuring various options of a background, depending on the model.
The Kobe Bryant logo is composed of an abstract geometric symbol, consisting of six segments, which make up a figure, resembling a sword. The two upper parts are short; the lower is long. Together they form a common geometric figure resembling a tricorn (cocked) hat. This symbol gives the impression of a tall, inflated person (in particular, a basketball player) with arms spread out to the side, who is ready at any moment to accept the ball thrown to him.
Though its official color palette is monochrome, the emblem can be seen in different combinations, depending on the needs and background.
Their strictness of the lines and unusual shape of the emblem gives endless opportunities to stylize it, it looks sharp and serious in 2D, when drawn in white on a black background, and sleek and futuristic when used with a three-dimensional effect.
PONDER: HOW MANY “V” for Victory can you find in the KOBE SYMBOL?
Symbol
The iconic geometric emblem of Kobe Bryant has a hidden meaning in it.
Kobe gave his own explanation to the logo in the Esquire magazine. He said the emblem represented a sword in a sheath. But there was a deeper meaning also. “The sword is the raw talent,” explained Kobe, while the sheath stands for the effort one puts into developing his talent. It is your calluses and your baggage, it is your training. He referred to the logotype as the Sheath, which was supposed to be the official name of the emblem.
In addition to this, Eric Avar, as the designer and developer of personalized shoes. , pointed out that the emblem has an Asian influence. He pointed out that its prototype is the paraphernalia of samurai warriors. It was their environment of determination and courage that served as a source of inspiration for the logo. According to him, the ancient eastern warriors exhibited the same balance and composure as Bryant.

Moreover, the nominal logo is only a graphic symbol. There are no inscriptions. Therefore, when adding the name of the basketball player, the text is written in different fonts, since they are not standardized.
The base palette of the emblem is black on white or golden, violet, red on a dark background. Colors vary and depend on the type of substrate on which the brand name is placed.
The mamba logo consists only of a graphic sign, in which there is no inscription; therefore, the name of the athlete is written in different fonts. There is no standardized option. The color of the emblem also depends on external circumstances – in particular, on the background. The classic design is black with white stripes, in the variable design – red, purple, or sand on a dark backing.
Kobe’s nickname was the “Black Mamba” … a highly venomous southern African snake, dreaded because of its quickness and readiness to bite. According to answers.com, the Mamba symbolism is satanism.
Of course I could mention A LOT more on this subject, including that the sun’s rays are referred to as “corona”, the virus looks like the sun and all of these celebrities indeed worship the sun, if only in jest … but I’ll leave it at this for now.
What a silly world we live in.

Kobe’s helicopter circled over Glendale for “11 minutes” and it’s said that this 13 million dollar state of the art helicopter did not have a black box or TAS system.
The helicopter carrying Kobe Bryant didn’t have a recommended warning Terrain Awareness and Warning System (TAWS) to alert the pilot he was too close to land but it’s not clear it would have averted the crash that killed nine because the pilot may have lost control as the aircraft plunged into a fog-shrouded mountain, federal investigators said Tuesday.
Pilot Ara Zobayan had been climbing out of the clouds when the aircraft banked left and began a sudden and terrifying 1,200-foot descent that lasted nearly a minute. “This is a pretty steep descent at high speed,” said Jennifer Homendy of the National Transportation Safety Board (NTSB). “We know that this was a high-energy impact crash.” SOURCE |
When it struck the ground, the helicopter was flying at about 160 knots (184 mph) and descending at a rate of more than 4000 feet per minute, the data showed. SOURCE |

Kobe died on 26/01/2020. 2+6+0+1+2+0+2+0=13
Kobe scored 81 points (second to only Wilt Chamberlain’s 100 point game) in his 666th game. And of course, if any of you follow basketball, you may have heard of Kobe’s infamous workout sessions called the 666 workout:
The Kobe Bryant workout routine features a hefty mix of track work, basketball skills and weightlifting. His off-season workout has been called the 666 program because he spends 2 hours running, 2 hours on basketball, and 2 hours weightlifting (for a total of 6 hours a day, six times a week, for six months).

As a quick reminder, Kobe’s 13 year old daughter, Gianna is also said to have perished on January 26, 2020.
List of Satanic Holidays…
It should be noted that Kobe Bryant “died” the day after LeBron James passed him on the all-time scoring list. This is the symbolic “passing of the torch” as Kobe’s final tweet reads: “Continuing to move the game forward @KingJames. Much respect my brother,”
LeBron James, now a Laker, is considered to be the best basketball player on the planet. Of course LeBron = 66in simple Gematria and LeBron James breaks down to 6 as well … and he wore number 6 while playing for the Miami Heat.

224 means “Today, Tomorrow, Forever”. 224 is commonly used in internet chat forums and text speak in a romantic context to express permanency, such as when making a declaration of love. For example:
- I promise to love you 224.
Of note, the term “Today, Tomorrow, Forever” has long been used in love songs and was the title of albums by musician Corey Paul and singer Nancy Wilson.

i fallat fatum, Scoti, quocunque locatum Invenient lapidem, regnare tenentur ibidem. “Or fate’s deceived, or Heav’n decrees in vain, Or where they find this stone the Scots shall reign.” It had been brought out of Spain into Ireland, afterwards out of Ireland into Argyleshire, and Edward I. caused it to be conveyed to Westminster.
The Myths of the Stone of Scone/Destiny (from my earlier Post)
Reproduced with permission from “The Highways and Byways of Central Scotland” by Seton Gordon (b. 1886)
Stone of Destiny as it used to be “housed” in the Coronation Throne.
The Celtic name of the stone now in the Coronation Chair in Westminster Abbey is Lia Fail, “the speaking stone”, which named the king who would be chosed. Cambray in his “Monuments Celtiques” claims to have seen the stone when it bore the inscription: Ni fallat fatum, Scoti quocumque locatum Invenient lapidiem, regnasse tenetur ibidem: If the Destiny prove true, then the Scots are known to have been Kings where’er men find this stone.
A few miles up the river from Perth is the site of the historic Abbey of Scone, where the kings of Scotland were crowned. But the glory of Scone has long departed, for, even in the time of the writing of the old “Statistical Account”….”on the spot where our ancient kings were crowned there now grows a clump of trees.” At Scone the Coronation Stone or Stone of Destiny was “reverently kept for the consecration of the kings of Alba” and, according to an old chronicler, “no king was ever wont to reign in Scotland unless he had first, on receiving the royal name, sat upon this stone at Scone, which by the kings of old had been appointed to the capital of Alba.” The Stone of Destiny, now in Westminster Abbey (at the time this was written), is an oblong block of RED SANDSTONE, some 26 inches long by 16 inches broad, and 10 1/2 inches deep: on the flat top of the stone are the marks of chiselling.
Tradition (legend) affirms that it is the same stone stone which Jacob used as a pillow at Bethel and then set up as a pillar and anointed with oil: later, according to Jewish tradition (possible legend), it became the pedestal of the ark in the Temple. The stone was brought from Syria to Egypt by Gathelus, who in order to escape the plague, sailed, on the advice of Moses, from the Nile with his wife and the Stone of Destiny, and landed in Spain. Gathelus sent the stone to Eire when he had invaded that country, and it was later brought to Scotland where it remained in the Abbey of Scone until, in the year 1296, Edward I of England carried it off to Westminster Abbey in England.
An interseting tradition (again possibly legend) that had been given me (Seton Gordon) by the Earl of Mansfield, whose family have owned the lands of Scone for more than 300 years. The tradition, which has been handed down through several generations, is that, somewhere around the dates 1795-1820, a farm lad had been wandering with a friend on Dunsinnan, the site of MacBeth’s Castle, soon after a violent storm. The torrential rain had caused a landslide, and as a result of this fissure, which seemed to penetrate deep into the hillside, was visible. The two men procured some form of light and explored the fissure. They came at last to the broken wall of a subterranean chamber. In one corner of the chamber was a stair which was blocked with debris, and in the centre of the chamber they saw a slb of stone covered with markings and supported by four stone “legs”. As there was no other evidence of “treasure” in the subterranean apartment the two men did not realise the importance of their “find” and did not talk of what they had seen. Some years later one of the men first heard the local tradition, that on the approach of the King Edward I , the monks of Scone hurriedly removed the Stone of Destiny to a place of safe concealment and took from the Annety Burn a stone of similar size and shape, which the English King carried off in triumph. When he heard this legend, the man hurried back to Dunisinnan Hill, but whether his memory was at fault regarding the site of the landslide, or whether the passage of time, or a fresh slide of earth, had obliterated the cavity, thefact remains that he was unable to locate the opening in the hillside. It may be asked why the monks of Scone, after the English king had returned to England, did not bring back to the abbey the original Stone of Destiny, but the tradition accounts for this explaining that it was not considered safe at the time to allow the English to know that they had been tricked, and that when the days of possible retribution were past, the monks who had known the secret were dead. This tradition, it is held, explains why the Coronation Stone in Westminster Abbey resembles geologically the sandstone commonly found in the neighbourhood of Scone.
This states clearly that the stone is of red sandstone and although in person appears brown-grey, geologists assure it is indeed sandstone inside.
Many scientists believe that the stone, despite all the high-flying mythical background, probably came from a local area considering the type of stone. It most likely came from the times of the Dal Riata kings of Scotland and Ireland (Circa 500 AD, see Story of Scotland, Ch. 1 for details), and possibly brought to Scotland from Ireland to coronate early Scots kings in Dunadd, and was later moved. Taken from “Highways and byways in the Central Highlands”…
1996: The Stone of Destiny
On St Andrews Day, 30th November 1996, Scotland’s coronation stone, the Stone of Destiny, was installed in Edinburgh Castle. About 10,000 people lined the Royal Mile to watch the procession of dignitaries and troops escort the stone from Holyrood Palace to the castle. In a service at St Giles cathedral the Church of Scotland Moderator, the Right Reverend John MacIndoe, formally accepted the stone’s return saying it would “strengthen the proud distinctiveness of the people of Scotland”.
Once inside the castle the stone was laid on an oak table before the grand fireplace of the early 16th century Great Hall. The Scottish Secretary of State Michael Forsyth ceremoniously received it from Prince Andrew, who was representing the Queen.
Outside the castle, under clear blue skies, a twenty-one gun salute was fired from the Half-Moon Battery, echoed by HMS Newcastle lying anchored off Leith harbour in the Firth of Forth. When asked of an official why the Scottish flag, the Saltire (St Andrews Cross) was not flying at the highest point. He replied that because Prince Andrew, (second son of the Queen) was inside, the flag of the United Kingdom, the Union Jack, had to fly on top.
This seemed to summarize the paradox: The Stone of Destiny, traditional coronation stone of Scottish Kings and Queens was stolen by English King Edward the First 700 years ago and is still a powerful symbol of Scottish independence. But its return comes with no promises of real or even partial independence for today’s Scotland.
