Lance Twigs and Fire (Part 17 Charlie Kirk) UPDATED …

We need to address Lance Twiggs, the room mate and  person who Tyler Robinson was in a relationship.   We don’t know much else about him other than his name… and note the “twi” aka “twin” in Twiggs!!  His first name, Lance, is a word meaning spear or javelin, and his first and surname are additions to the “Remove a Letter in Name Makes a Word” pattern cluster, and so making “twigs”, “lace” and “lane”.  

There is likely a connection with lance and twig, that we are expected to arrive at.  What comes to mind, is the use of small dry “twigs” as kindling to start a fire, … and the fact that prehistoric wooden spears were hardened with fire, note the following AI info: 

Early people chose long, straight pieces of wood, often from trees that were known to produce suitable branches

The Clacton Spear, discovered in the UK and dating back approximately 450,000 years, is a famous example of a fire-hardened wooden spear tip,,,

It’s interesting to note the “char” in “Charlie”!!  

There is something else that I recollect having made a note of— one of the cast/crew of the Marx film, A Night in Casablanca, that is included in yesterday’s post, Duck in Casablanca (Part 14 Charlie Kirk) :  

James Van Trees (August 13, 1890 – April 11, 1973) cinematographer

As you can see, his surname “Trees” is a cryptic connection to “twigs” and “lance”.  This is definitely a twin heads upp, … we are on track… or “lane”.  Another of the films cast/crew who stands out:

David L. Loew (October 5, 1897 – March 25, 1973) film producer

For one, his first and last name are additions to the “Remove a Letter in Name Makes a Word” pattern cluster and so making “avid” and “low”.   Also, her surname is an addition to another recent cluster—“Remove the ‘e’ from Name” makes a Word” pattern cluster.  What comes to mind now is that the best twigs for kindling, are the dry/brown ones on the ground… as in “low”, and not high in the trees that are wet/green. At this point, none of the dates stand out, which is usually the case at this early stage.  

Since Twiggs is an unusual name, it’s worth investigating the Twiggs (disambiguation) wikipedia page. There were only a few, and so this one immediately caught my eye: 

Sarah Lowe Twiggs (March 29, 1839 – February 7, 1920) American poet

 As you can see, there’s the name Lowe… similar to Loew, and addition to the same pattern-clusters.  This is another twin heads upp.  AND then, I found this guy:

Judge Hansford Dade Duncan Twiggs (March 25, 1837 – March 25, 1917)

He died on his birthday!! AND, March 25th is also the date of death of David Loew!! This is another addition to the “Birthday Blues” pattern cluster (re people who pass away on their birthdays”.  

The next Twiggs I arrive at is: 

• Levi Twiggs (May 21, 1793 – September 13, 1847) officer in the US Marine Corps

His date of death is also meaningful givne the following recent notable “Birthday Blues” death: 

Merica (13 September 1953 – 13 September 2025) 72, Brazilian footballer

I consider this a prompt to investigate the names of all notable persons who passed away so far this month, selecting the ones that connect in similar cryptic fashion— additions to the “Fire and Spear Making” pattern cluster.  did find many in names, the word I included at the end of their date of birth/death:

That is a lot of cryptic connections!!  

From the above, there was one name in particular that sparked my curiosity (pun intended): 

• Sam Sparks (September 27, 1939 – September 17, 2025) spark

I’m reminded of a Notable Judge in my neck of the woods: 

Corrine Sparks born on August 13, 1953, and grew up in the small segregated rural area of Nova Scotia, Canada, called Lake Loon.

I’ve gone back and highlighted the dates above that connect with Corrine Sparks birthday— an “August 13(x2), 14, 15/Date Sequence” pattern cluster now in the works.  

You can read more about her on her wikipedia page:  https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Corrine_Sparks

The following are just a few other notables who passed away this month who stand out… and I’m sure there is a reason:  

• Harald Serafin(24 December 1931 – 15 September 2025) burning one
• Cheryl Waters (January 18, 1947 – September 1, 2025) water
• Ziad Takieddine (14 June 1950 – 23 September 2025) dine
• Hugo Valentin (28 April 1938 – 8 September 2025)  hug … valentine
• István Kiss (19 December 1948 – 18 September 2025) kiss
• Witold Ziaja, (16 November 1940 – 1 September 2025)  with hold… wit old 

I can’t help butt wonder,… are the inner twin world saying that they are going to “with hold” … take away our “old wit” that they have provided us with in the past, and if so, perhaps we better learn how to do simpler hunter gatherer things of old— like starting fires from scratch and making spears!!  

UPDATED September 24 & 26, 2025: 

It occurred to me that the “ash” included in the above is also a reference to a type of tree, note the following from the Ash Wikipedia page: 

The tree's common English name, "ash", traces back to the Old English æsc, which relates to the Proto-Indo-European for the tree, while the name of the Genus originated in Latin, from a Proto-Indo-European word for birch. Both words, æsc in Old English and frāxinus in Latin, are also used to mean "spear," as its wood is good for shafts

 I will be updating the above list until the end of September.  

You’ll find this video very interesting… (incase you have to start a fire quickly with no modern day tools and resources): 

Make Fire with Shale Stone and Cotton - Rudiger Roll Friction Fire - Survival Fire Making

And he provides the following other videos where he uses various plant fibers that he shows how to break down from the actual plant stem:
