TRIANGLES OF TERROR TRILOGY, SIDE TWO: THREE TO TANGO

During the 1990s, the late Reg Presley of 1960s garage-rock combo The Troggs, in his post-pop capacity as a UFO researcher, went public with his discovery that if three specific crop-circles he had investigated were plotted on a map then joined together with straight lines, they formed a triangle – the same shape as all those black ET spaceships that were supposedly cluttering British skies back then. Embarrassingly, Reg did not realise that, if you join any three points up on a map you will end up with a triangle, because that is how basic geometry works. To escape the subsequent mockery, the triangle-tracing Trogg should have teleported to Argentina, where an entire quasi-Masonic cult had once infiltrated the government and then manipulated their rulers to draw imaginary triangles all over the nation’s maps, with rather less amusing consequences.

The Lodge’s head from 1964 onwards, the Perónist judge Julio César Urien, had gained direct personal access to Perón during the 1950s and, under the influence of revelations from the Archangel Anael, observed how the President was truly a living radar-mast with satellite dishes for hands, used to pick up transmissions from Anael (who was also now a large fixed star) to beam out to his voters during arm-waving balcony addresses, causing them to evolve into “atoms of liberation” primed to overthrow the evil triangle of US-USSR-UK and usher in the Age of Aquarius. The more the star of Anael shone, the more Perónist Illuminati would spawn down here on Earth: As Above, So Below, the central motto of the Emerald Tablet of Hermes Trismegistus, the mythical mystic sage of ancient Egypt, Land of the Pyramids. Regrettably, however, in 1955 Perón had been deposed in a military
