Back then I naturally assumed that the 'anniversary' reference was pertaining to some event in the past. But now I have realized that 'anniversary' - meaning' 'returning with the year, at a stated time' - could also easily point to a future time, one year ahead.

As the above message was posted last year on August 27, its 'anniversary' would point ahead to August 27, 2003. Well, let me quote from a space.com article: "At 5:51 a.m. EDT on Aug. 27, 2003, Mars will be within 34,646,418 miles (55,758,006 kilometers) of Earth... the closest that Mars has come to our planet in nearly 60,000 years."

Yes, the historic 'close encounter of the red kind' this summer will climax exactly on the 'anniversary' date - August 27! In hindsight, it's quite obvious that the poster 'KBS' was alluding to this future event. This is yet another clue suggesting that the '9/11 echo window' coming this summer/fall will be an important time.

And the underlying message seems to be that we are in for a 'stargate event' - whatever that may be.

There are some intriguing 'signs in the sky' as well. For instance, one of the celestial points associated with the concept of a 'stargate' is the intersection of the ecliptic (the sun's path) and the Milky Way.[16] While there are two such points, the more notable one is the intersection marking the border between the constellations Gemini and Taurus. Its significance here derives largely from the fact that it is pinpointed by the raised arm of Orion (= Osiris; an 'stargate' constellation) as the image below illustrates.

This makes us wonder if the 'stargate year' 2003 will produce a special configuration involving this particular spot in the sky. I quickly found out that this indeed was the case.

Around June, or around the summer solstice, the planet Saturn happens to be transiting this region. Saturn, the planet/god of time, is an alter ego of Orion-Osiris.

And on June 24 - just 3 days after the solstice - Saturn will be united with the sun. This date pinpointed here is quite meaningful, as June 24 is the feast day of John the Baptist - a biblical figure associated in Endgame III with the 'Face on Mars', the Sphinx, the Turin Shroud, etc., thus relevant to the stargate theme. (By the way, doesn't the image shown left remind you of the Statue of Liberty?)

This is interesting enough, but there is more. Although Saturn generally moves in one direction along the ecliptic, it does (appear to) go back and forth rather frequently. This means that the planet would pass a given spot more than once in one 30-year cycle around the sun. As such, the coming 'stargate' transit near the solstice will not be the first in the current cycle of Saturn. It was at the same spot back in the fall of 2002 - starting around the beginning of September. This was the exact time when Hoagland's analysis of the Cydonia IR picture was hitting the fan! (He released the data on Sept. 5, though the buzz was already building in August.)
