The Circle of Pax

Recently (on November 28) I watched the netflix film, The Circle.  I liked the film... big actors and an interesting sci-fi kind of topic... AND , the main characters name “Mae” is phonetically identical to my name “May”... a “May” pattern-cluster.  It was strange ... a bit unnerving to hear my name come up during the film, it’s not a very common name after all, at least not in the western world.

Perusing the list of cast/crew on the films wiki page, and as per usual, I chose a name (actor) that stands out, note from her wiki page:
Her surname Gillan had stood out given that it’s an addition to the recent “Gill Theme” pattern-cluster.  And, her birthday is an addition to the  “Timely” pattern-cluster.  The “Gill” cluster began with my recent November 27 post, A Horsey!!, note from the post:
  • Neil Gillman (September 11, 1933 – November 24, 2017)rabbi, philosopher.
 a cryptic “kneel Gillman”— significant ... my stepson’s first name is “Gillman”.  
Karen Gillan’s Character surname, Allerton, also stands out— breaking down into a cryptic French/English “aller ton”... aller is French for “go” and ton is a cryptic “big”, hence “go big”.   So “go big” with what?!  Her first name Karen is a diminutive of Katherine... a name that cropped up several times yesterday,  the original meaning of the name is “each of the two”.  So “go big each of the two”.  And note Neil Gillman’s birthday... 9/11 — the twin towers destruction was definitely a “go big event affecting each of the two”!!

The next name that stood out is actor Bill Paxton... his surname a cryptic “pact big”... the word “pact” is “peace”, so “big peace”.  There is nothing more that I want— peace... for this war that seems to have no end, to be over.  Note from his wiki page:

The film was financially successful and generally well-received by critics,[1] and won an Academy Award for sound editing.[2] The fictitious plot attracted substantial criticism;[3] in reality, it was British personnel from HMS Bulldog who first captured a naval Enigma machine (from U-110 in the North Atlantic in May 1941),

 Arthur Scherbius (30 October 1878 – 13 May 1929)  patented an invention for a mechanical cipher, the Enigma machine


A rare Abwehr Enigma machine, designated G312, was stolen from the Bletchley Park museum on 1 April 2000. In September, a man identifying himself as "The Master" sent a note demanding £25,000 and threatening to destroy the machine if the ransom was not paid. In early October 2000, Bletchley Park officials announced that they would pay the ransom, but the stated deadline passed with no word from the blackmailer. Shortly afterward, the machine was sent anonymously to BBC journalist Jeremy Paxman, missing three rotors.

The message came in the form of a coded telegram dispatched by Arthur Zimmermann, a Staatssekretär (i.e. a top level civil servant) in the Foreign Office of the German Empire on 19 January 1917. The message was sent to the German ambassador to Mexico, Heinrich von Eckardt.
