Each word possesses subtle meaning nuances and, as the ancient anagrammatists knew, rearranging the parts of a word to make a new word or phrase often produces new meanings that can be construed as having portentous implications, such as revealing the destiny of the bearer of a specific name. From the time of Moses onward, anagrams, for example, were thought to flesh out hidden meanings in names, as letters were perceived as sacred symbols. Although this may not be the case today in our more secular societies, we are still captivated by the same kind of “word magic.”

''Paronomasia, is a form of word play that exploits multiple meanings of a term, or of similar-sounding words, for an intended humorous or rhetorical effect. These ambiguities can arise from the intentional use of homophonic, homographic, metonymic, or figurative language.

To a Möbius strip club!''

''Wordplay and Humor

Dirk Delabatita's definition of wordplay is dense but comprehensive:

Wordplay is the general name for the various textual phenomena in which structural features of the language(s) are exploited in order to bring about a communicatively significant confrontation of two (or more) linguistic structures with more or less similar forms and more or less different meanings. (Delabastita 1996: 128)

Semantically, several meanings are activated by identical or similar forms in a text. Formally, the definition includes homonymy (same sound and writing), homophony (same sound), homography (same writing) and paronymy (similar form). Textually, the author adds, a pun can be “horizontal” or “vertical” (Haussmann, explained by Delabastita 1996: 128). Harvard professor of economic history Neal Ferguson offers an example of a vertical pun: the title of a book chapter about America, “Chimerica”. As a chapter title, “Chimerica” is a vertical pun because various meanings are activated by one form (token) on the communicative axis. In one go, the token chimerica refers to China’s enormous stake in America’s economy and to the word

chimera. In hori-zontal puns, several identical or similar tokens appear in the chain of communication in order to activate various meanings: “How the US put US to shame” is Delabastita’s homographic example (129).''

''An ambigram is a word, art form or other symbolic representation whose elements retain meaning when viewed or interpreted from a different direction, perspective, or orientation.

The meaning of the ambigram may either change, or remain the same, when viewed or interpreted from different perspectives.

Douglas R. Hofstadter describes an ambigram as a "calligraphic design that manages to squeeze two different readings into the selfsame set of curves." Different ambigram artists (sometimes called ambigramists) may create completely different ambigrams from the same word or words, differing in both style and form.''

Washington Post:

Meet the man whose utopian vision for the Internet conquered, and then warped, Silicon Valley

By Jacob Silverman

"To understand where this cyber-libertarian ideology came from, you have to understand the influence of “A Declaration of the Independence of Cyberspace,” one of the strangest artifacts of the ’90s, and its singular author, John Perry Barlow. Perhaps more than any other, it’s his philosophy — which melded countercultural utopianism, a rancher’s skepticism toward government and a futurist’s faith in the virtual world — that shaped the industry.

“A Declaration of the Independence of Cyberspace” was an utterly serious document for a deliriously optimistic era

Barlow’s 846-word text, published online in February 1996, begins with a bold rebuke of traditional sovereign powers: “Governments of the Industrial World, you weary giants of flesh and steel, I come from Cyberspace, the new home of Mind. On behalf of the future, I ask you of the past to leave us alone. You are not welcome among us. You have no sovereignty where we gather.” He then explains how cyberspace is a place of ultimate freedom, where conventional laws don’t apply.

When Eric Schmidt describes the Internet, however misguidedly, as “the world’s largest ungoverned space” in his book “The New Digital Age,” he is borrowing Barlow’s rhetoric. When tech mogul Peter Thiel writes, in “The Education of a Libertarian,” that he founded PayPal to create a currency free from government control and that “by starting a new Internet business, an entrepreneur may create a new world,” it’s impossible not to hear Barlovian echoes. (That grandiose attitude is so common now that HBO has a comedy, “Silicon Valley,” dedicated to mocking it.)"

Q suggests John Barlow was murdered for his ability to influence through his activities in the Freedom of the Press Foundation. The Washington Post article highlights Barlow's ability to influence wealthy technocapitalists towards his idealistic goals.

@Snowden

You are now a liability.

Freedom of the Press Foundation (FPF) is a non-profit organization founded in 2012 to fund and support free speech and freedom of the press.

Its mission includes "promoting and funding aggressive, public-interest journalism focused on exposing mismanagement, corruption, and law-breaking in government

If wealthy people support Barlow's idealistic goals then they might help support the Freedom of the Press Foundation's goals, "promoting and funding aggressive, public-interest journalism focused on exposing mismanagement, corruption, and law-breaking in government."

Edward Snowden has moved in to the position which was vacant due to Barlow's death. Q is stating Edward Snowden is identified as a liability by the same individuals who caused John Barlow's 187.

Other Unanswered Questions:

Whose crimes are threatened to be exposed by John Barlows activities?

Was John Barlow's relationship with Dick Cheney part of the motive that led to his death?

Was the heart related death of Barlow's girlfriend Cynthia Horner a botched first attempt to murder John Barlow?

John Barlow was engaged to Cynthia Horner, a doctor whom he met in 1993 at the Moscone Center in San Francisco while she was attending a psychiatry conference and Barlow was participating in a Steve Jobs comedy roast at a convention for the NeXT Computer. Cynthia Horner died unexpectedly in 1994 while asleep on a flight from Los Angeles to New York City, days before her 30th birthday, from a heart arrhythmia apparently caused by an undetected viral myocarditis.

Is the Washington Post article a HIT piece or coincidence?
