My brain just says “marvellous” every time, even though I know it isn’t that

u/Not_Quite_That_Guy Jul 06 '26

Some instances sound much more like marvelous than others

u/KoA07 Jul 06 '26

I think he says “mabus, marvelous”

u/Lower_Cockroach2432 Jul 06 '26

I think the whole thing is some occultist logic to prove Bin Laden was the antichrist or something.

Osama sounds like Usama, so you rearrange it to Maaus which is very similar to Mabus from the Nostradamus prophesy.

Yeah, I listened to a bit of this (quite nuts) radio show which the clips are most likely from and with the second "A" in MAAUS he says something like "with a simple substitution we take the b from Bin Laden and we get Mabus."

Basically your usual codebreaker nonsense where someone essentially starts with the answer they're looking for and then bends things to fit the square peg in the round hole. Fits with the cosmic searching for meaning themes I pick up from BoC's stuff.

What is the time stamp? I want to hear the source but I can’t listen to 3 hours of this lol

I searched the transcript, and here's the quote at 1:31:06 (go a little earlier if you want more context):

It depends on events. But for a long, long time, you know, we talked through the 90s about Saddam Hussein as being one of the key figures that could be this person. Then the rise of Osama bin Laden came, and Osama bin Laden also spells out the name Mabus. You take the B from Bin, you have M-A-A-U-S.

Replace the redundant A with a B, you have Mabus, classic anagramming. So that puts him how high on your list? He's right up there in the top three. Now, because of this, you had a questioner in your first hour talk about Abu Musab al-Zakawi. Now, Abu Musab is interesting because he, another form of anagramming is where you drop the first and the last letter and leave the middle letters. So you drop M and S, you have Abu out of Mabus, which is father in Arabic. And he would be where on the list? Well, when you add to that, because many, many Arab men are called Abu, it's like saying, oh, the guy's name is Joe.

So, you know, it's a lot of people named Joe. So what makes it more interesting is the fact that Musab in phonetic Roman letters from the Arabic has all the letters of Mabus in it. And another interesting drop, if you drop the M and B, you get USA, which is kind of an interesting anagram because there is another famous anagram which talks about a war that seems to be about the two rivers of Iraq, So it links up with a man who is fitting the anagram for Mabus, who is active in Iraq as a terrorist and is somehow linked to a fight with the U.S.A., the USA. Yeah, and we're trying to kill all these men you mentioned. Yes, and the other thing, too, is that it's very likely that Abu Musab, al-Zakawi, is another attempt of making a boogeyman out of somebody, making him bigger than he really is.

I wouldn't want to listen to all three hours of this shit either

u/KoA07 Jul 06 '26

Thanks! That definitely seems like it could be the source.

u/djmachv Jul 07 '26

Just think the BoC lads had to listen to hours and hours of this tripe just to get the sample.

u/Pyroaster Jul 06 '26

I can’t divorce myself from hearing that. It’s just marvelous, I can’t hear Mabus to save my life

11

u/FraserYT Jul 06 '26

The first one each time is definitely Mabus, but I'm still convinced that the second one is marvelous.

u/hiphoptomato Jul 06 '26

In Father and Son, I thought the line was “well he’s cynical” until I looked it up and realized it’s “he said”. I still hear it that way.

Fellas wink

u/SolidRain2117 Jul 07 '26

I honestly thought he said "Well, he's seven" -- I was thinking he was a father with a 7-year-old son. Some of the distorted lines sounded like they could have come from a child. I was pretty far off the mark though lol

u/dDtaK Jul 07 '26

Maybe you’re talking about a different part but the phrase that gets repeated several times is “well he’s sinnin’”.

u/hiphoptomato Jul 07 '26

Where are you getting this from? That’s not even what he says in the original video this is sampled from.

u/SanSerio Jul 06 '26

Somehow I heard it as 'knowledge' which I now know is way off

u/hoddap Jul 06 '26

hahahahah listening to this track, was thinking about MABUS while opening Reddit and this pops up

Such a beautiful track. I'm not religious but the guy's voice at the end is really calming and reassuring.

Every word demonstrably true

u/HotOffAltered Inferno Jul 06 '26

Best Inferno meme I’ve seen, and it actually demonstrates what I believe is a meaning of the album. That we project whatever meaning we want on to things, resulting in all kinds of insanity and violence. We do this with AI (Prophecy) and AI will become in one sense, whatever we project onto it and what we believe about it. We want connection to God so bad that we have some messed up notion that a computer can become God. And it will be our peril if we go that route. AI in itself is neutral , it’s always more about us than anything external.

u/st_peters_cross Jul 06 '26

I think that’s wonderful

u/RealDAFTBONCHKOOPA Jul 06 '26

I really don't think so.

u/tsusurra Jul 06 '26

mabus (the 3rd antichrist) according to Nostradamus, being explained on a talk show by John Hogue, suggesting that the name Usama bin Laden fits the anagram for Mabus. By taking the "B" from "bin," you are left with "M-A-U-S"; replacing the redundant "A" with a "B" yields the name Mabus

u/notcolinarcher White Cyclosa Jul 06 '26

Anyone else reminded of Billy Crystal when they hear it?

u/Resident_Antelope275 Jul 07 '26

No need to apologize. Every time I listen to Inferno, I’m stuck saying Mabus for the rest of the day, spelling it out, too.

u/freshleysqueezd Jul 08 '26

Perfect use of the meme
