Random Doctor Who Facts You Might Not Know, Part 40: The Master, The Master, and The Master

oh my fucking gods how is it part 40 already....here have a lot of Master stuff to celebrate lol

The Delgado Master once allied himself with the Nurazh, a mind parasite. The could simultaneously control thousands of minds but ended up betrayed the Master because of course they did. While the Third Doctor was fighting the Nurazh, they fell off the roof of the building, causing him to begin to regenerate into his Fourth self. Trying to control the Doctor while he was technically two minds killed the Nurazh but not before they incidentally healed the Third Doctor of all his wounds, preventing his further regeneration. (Short story: The Touch of the Nurazh)

The Reborn Master was the one to disfigure the Decayed Master while working with the Cult of the Heretic. This cult then betrayed him by doing a body swap between the Reborn Master and the Decayed Master. (Audio: The Two Masters)

Missy considers the hijacking of the Concorde to be one of her least successful plans ever. (Audio: Two Monks, One Mistress)

After the Cheetah Planet ceased to exist, the Master was immediately deposited in the Doctor’s TARDIS because it was a piece of Gallifrey on Earth. He immediately stole the Identity Recognition Module and hijacked the TARDIS, meaning that the Seventh Doctor and Ace could only wait to see where the Master was planning on taking them. (Short story: How did this creep get in here, Professor?)

Scissor bugs are a common Gallifreyan pest. One time, when the Master was just a student, he watched happily as thousands of males tried to mate with a single queen, only to die because he had put the queen in a jelly jar. (Short story: The Duke of Dominoes)

In the same story, while scheming, the Delgado Master was gathering shards of the Godhead, a source of unlimited power, in Chicago. During this time, he gets mugged, works in a soup kitchen for several days, is betrayed by his allies, is chased by a giant statue of Abraham Lincoln, and is buried under building rubble. The Fourth Doctor and Sarah Jane then materialize in the TARDIS on top of him, take some of his stuff, and leave. (Short story: The Duke of Dominoes)

The Reborn Master once impersonated the Doctor to infiltrate UNIT. The actual impersonation bit was actually successful. (Audio: Dominion)

Teddy Sparkles appeared to be wish granting magical teddy bear, but he could alter timelines and the whole universe. Thus, Missy kidnapped him in an attempt to take over Earth. (Short story: Teddy Sparkles Must Die!)

The Delgado Master once kidnapped a pop group and used the power of music to hypnotize anyone who listened. (Short story: Smash Hit)

Julius Caesar once took the Tremas Master prisoner after he tried to poison him. Ace asked the Seventh Doctor what will become of the Master, and the Doctor is confident that his old friend would be back one day. And he wasn't wrong either - the Master did one day come back to rekindle their friendship but as Missy instead. (Comic: Crossing the Rubicon)

While in 49 BCE, the Doctor went by Septimus Doctus, which surprised the Tremas Master as he had expected the Doctor to use Theta Sigma. (Comic: Crossing the Rubicon)

While the Monk was disguised as Henry VIII, Missy agreed to marry him to call his bluff. (Audio: Divorced, Beheaded, Regenerated)

While in the body of a Trakenite, the Master still possessed a binary vascular system. (Short story: A Master of Disguise)

In an aborted timeline, the final form the Master would take would be an entropy wave. (Audio: Masterful)

Also in this same aborted timeline, the Saxon Master killed the Thirteenth Doctor, throwing her into the heart of a star. He then invited many of his past selves - the Young Master, the Decayed Master, the Bruce Master, the Reborn Master, and the War Master to celebrate. Kamelion was there disguised as the Tremas Master, and when they tried to bring in the Delgado Master, they accidentally brought in Jo Grant instead. Missy also party-crashed, much to the Saxon Master's chagrin. (Audio: Masterful)

When the Thirteenth Doctor implied to Missy that she had met a future incarnation of the Master who was once again male presenting, Missy was horrified. (Novel: The Wonderful Doctor of Oz)

I've talked about it in some tags, but I'm thinking more on it, and I really do believe that there is something.....mmmmm supernatural and particularly gothic going on with the impersonation game Dracula is playing.

The eerie supernatural double was actually a very big theme in gothic literature as well as folklore of the time. Hell, two very famous deaths (Abraham Lincoln and Percy Shelly) have doppelganger sightings attached to them (although whether or not they are true or just added on postmortem to further sensationalize the event, I do not know).

Basically, you or someone you are close with seeing your double (whether that be a doppelganger, ghost, evil twin yet unknown, an actor doing a supernaturally good impression, etc) was a very ill omen and often one of death.

Not really sure where I'm going with this, but tl;dr Dracula impersonating Jonathan isn't just a part of his grand plan to isolate and drive him to rely on Dracula, but in fact a long standing trope of Gothic literature likely tied to the inherent horror that your own identity can be taken from you with nefarious results.

How many Abraham Lincoln impersonators have you met in your life? In your entire life. Think hard. School, field trips, museums, entertainment parks, anywhere. If you think it was either one or two, pick two. If it was two or three, pick three. So on.

When I'm Not Lincoln: A Memoir is the best autobiography written by a professional abraham lincoln impersonator I've read in years

[deadpresidents]

Dare I ask how Manhunt is going?

As I mentioned before, I'm the target audience for a series or film like Manhunt, so they'd really have to mess things up for me to not enjoy watching it.

Am I still a bit salty about Edwin Stanton not having a beard? Yes, I am because...

...I mean, come on! That's a legendary 19th Century Statesman Beard™ and the facial hair should have been cast on its own before they even auditioned any actors. I really don't understand that choice.

Am I somewhat bemused by seeing Edwin Stanton -- who was an asthmatic, often sickly lawyer and 50-year-old Secretary of War -- being portrayed at times as a combination between an action hero and CSI detective? Yes, I'd have to say I am.

Am I having a tough time with the flashbacks featuring Abraham Lincoln since the actor who is playing him decided that Lincoln was supposed to sound like Kermit the Frog doing an Owen Wilson impression? Yes, I am. It might be the worst portrayal of Lincoln I've ever seen. He can't even do that awful voice consistently as he's speaking, so it's like the actor forgets that he's doing the world's worst impersonation of Daniel Day-Lewis's Lincoln and has to jump right back in but significantly worse than before. I'm not 100% sure who the actor is that is playing Lincoln, but Lincoln needs that guy playing him like he needs another hole in his head....ummm...what I meant to say is that it's not good.

Am I anxiously waiting for each week's episode to drop? YES I AM. I love shows like this! I'd probably still watch it if it was just clerks in the War Department doing paperwork. I do wish they'd spend more time with John Wilkes Booth because I think he's obviously the most interesting character, but I understand what they are doing. I will say that the actor who plays Booth is fantastic. I still think that Jesse Johnson was amazing as Booth in National Geographic's (shockingly entertaining) film adaptation of Killing Lincoln, so it's hard to top that performance in my opinion. Jesse Johnson (who is Don Johnson's son!) played Booth as a showy, over-the-top, borderline campy psychopath and it was exactly how I've always pictured Booth. But the kid who plays Booth in Manhunt is really good, too, and probably the best part of the series so far.

It's not perfect, but I'm enjoying it, and I'll happily keep watching!

Another weirdly specific actor is Teresa Barnwell, the Hillary Clinton impersonator who was everywhere in the 90s. She played Hillary Clinton on Rosanne, on Step By Step, on The Nanny, on The Secret Diary of Desmond Pfeiffer (a UPN sitcom about Abraham Lincoln's black butler, known for its slavery jokes and for the 'joke' that you say the P in his name), and on Sliders, in a episode where women rule the Earth & Hillary's president, what??? which is how I learned of her existence.

I remember in 2016 she released this really bad attempted viral video that I can't find anymore (though you can find all her other clips, carefully labeled on a Youtube channel that has a different name but is obviously hers), but it makes sense, because no one's career has been more tied to a President besides Vaughn Meader. If Hillary won, it'd be Barnwell O'Clock again, and man, she's had two possible comeback bids disappear. I can't even imagine the weird emotions there

Oddly enough there are conspiracy theories about her, bc the concept of celebrity impersonators is just a bit too complicated for QAnon types, even though she looks less like Hillary Clinton than that Humphrey Bogart guy looks like Humphrey Bogart

Yesterday a memory of encountering an Abraham Lincoln impersonator at a local restaurant resurfaced. I emailed my dad, and he has confirmed that this did actually happen.

[rauthschild]

We have described for you the deplorable criminality which has gained access to our world through the British Government(s) and their collusion with the Holy Roman Empire -- the impersonation of people as different kinds of corporations, the illegal and unlawful direct taxation of civilians by private banks, the use of commercial corporations to usurp national governments, and we have touched upon the corruption of the courts, especially Admiralty Courts and the so-called King's Bench (Maritime Commerce) courts.

We have plainly stated that the courts are bonding court cases and presenting them as investment opportunities. The bond numbers are case numbers, and the odds of conviction and "commission returns" on these bonds run at 96% on average, so the Hired Jurists running these courts are highly motivated to secure convictions by any means possible ---- the courts and the court's officers share in the booty they collect.

Government "Investors" are also highly motivated to keep this gravy train running. Where else can you guarantee yourself a 96% rate of return on a short term bond investment?

When first confronted about this "Court Registry Investment System" court officials stonewalled and denied the existence of any such bond investment (and ultimately, payola) system by which they receive commissions, aka, "pension" payments from all the loot rolling in from the illegal confiscation of privately-held American assets and equally illegal betting on the rigged outcome of court cases controlled by Hired Jurists in the King's Service.

The Guilty Parties observe that there is no law against murdering corporations, stealing from corporations, impounding corporations, etc., but then, in the same token, corporations should have no ability to make unlimited political campaign contributions, should they?

Those responsible for the unconscionable contracts allowing them to create all these Puerto Rican shelf corporations, and the Roman Inferior Cestui Que Vie Trusts that result when the shelf corporations are bankrupted, should be paying all the charges and expenses of maintaining these corporations and should also be paying all taxes owed by these imaginary corporate franchises, too.

The living victims of this personage scheme should be held absolutely harmless from all charges and harm, but as everyone can see and attest, the Parent Corporations and Administrators have been evading their Usufructuary Duty and foisting their responsibility off onto the victims of their inland piracy.

The Admiralty Courts have been busy collecting booty belonging purportedly to "rebels" engaged in illegal commercial mercenary "wars", and salvage fees owed by foreign sovereigns, and managing the Estates of imaginary British Merchant Mariners, who all just happen to be "Taxpayers" --- Warrant Officers who are responsible for collecting tariffs for the King, who are all based out of Puerto Rico and all declared "missing, lost at sea".

The Maritime Commercial Courts operated by the British Crown have been fraudulently confusing themselves -- the so-called United States District Courts -- with district courts of the United States authorized under Article V of the Federal Constitutions. Under this guise of borrowed rectitude, they have been operated as "concessions" to take advantage of the Cestui Que Vie ESTATES purportedly belonging to Municipal "citizens of the United States".

Are we all beginning to get the drift of just how crooked all these operations are and the nature of the "courts" that have been foisted off on the people of this country, who have all suffered crimes of impersonation and identity theft and human trafficking, at the hands of men employed by them to protect their "persons" and who are obligated by contract and treaty to do so?

As mentioned in our International Public Notice: Impersonation, the British Territorial Rump Congress created by Abraham Lincoln changed the meaning of the word "person" to mean "corporation".

See 37th Congress, Second Session, Chapter 49, Section 68.

This was followed up on February 2nd 1871, when the 41st British Territorial U.S. Congress declared itself to be the Successor of all United States Corporations.

The "United States" being referenced is the American Federal Republic and its corporations.

This takeover was done with no Notice to the Public, no listing in the Congressional Record, and, most importantly, no Notice to the Federation of States. It failed all requirements of Due Process.

How is that even possible?

By February 2nd 1871, all the State Governments had been confused with State of State Governments, and the Brits had illegally included State assets as if they were American State of State assets, and rolled everything into "State" Trusts.

They had also demanded that the people of each State write new Constitutions allowing their own British Territorial State-of-State operations to take over.

The American States of States, such as The State of New York, were replaced by British Territorial counterparts calling themselves, for example, "the State of New York". The name change was so slight, a change from "The" to "the", that nobody but British Collaborators knew there had been any change at all.

The new "State" Constitutions enacted between 1863 and 1871 were equally vague and deceitful, appearing very similar to prior service contracts and calculated to hide what was actually going on from the American Public.

By February 2nd 1871, the assets of the actual Autochthonous Nation States had been illegally and illogically misidentified as assets of the Federal Republic and had been cashiered in covert State Trusts, like the Michigan State (Trust).

This is what gives rise to the grammatical nightmare of "the Michigan State Capitol" and "California State University".

As an analogy, if the company hired to mow your lawn went bankrupt, or for any reason failed to perform, would this justify an assumption that your property was part of their bankruptcy or incompetence? Would this scenario justify an assumption that your home was an asset of their bankrupt business? Or an unclaimed chattel of theirs?

Certainly not, yet this is precisely the "reasoning" employed to secretly latch upon the assets of the American States and cashier them in State Trusts controlled by the Perpetrators of this gigantic fraud scheme.

With the State assets illegally cashiered in trusts controlled by the Perpetrators under False Pretenses, the original American State of State organizations inoperable, and British Territorial States of States operating as franchises of the British Territorial corporation calling itself "the United States of America" --- Incorporated, there was nothing to stop the Perpetrators from bypassing Due Process owed to the actual States and People.

According to them and what they told the rest of the world, we had ceased to exist. Our lawful American Government was reportedly "in interregnum" and in the meantime, our British Territorial and Holy Roman Empire Federal Subcontractors were "assuming" a "custodial interest" in our assets.

In this way, the British Territorial Government under contract to our States, contrived to unlawfully convert our State assets into Public Trust assets controlled by their Agents, and to mothball and substitute their own "services" for both our Autochthonous American States-of-State organizations and our lawful State Governments.

This is all premeditated, malicious, self-interested legal chicanery and constructive fraud, by which our foreign employees have attempted to erase our national sovereignty, use our assets as collateral backing their debts, and ultimately, bring False Claims on Abandonment against our assets for their benefit.

We never abandoned anything, just like we never volunteered to act as "Taxpayers" and never knowingly adopted U.S. Citizenship, and were told nothing about the Roman Inferior Trust ESTATES established for us under the resoundingly False Presumption that we were ever "citizens of the United States", either.

These False Friends and False Representatives impersonated the American States and seized upon their assets, and have controlled our State assets by dint of secrecy, False Legal Presumptions, and False Claims dependent on similar names deceits.

Our original state-of-state entities doing business as, for example, The State of New York, were members of the failed Confederation.

Likewise, the stricken State Republics and Republics of State, such as the Texas Republic and Republic of Texas, were members of the failed Federal Republic.

Their assets might, arguably, be salvaged and secured by the British Territorial Federal Subcontractors doing business as the United States of America, Incorporated ---- but not the assets of our Autochthonous Nation-States.

Our Autochthonous unincorporated States of the Union are members of the unincorporated Federation of States.

There are no "United States Corporations" present for British Interests to seize upon or assume any custodial interest in.

In the same way, there is no excuse for them impersonating our States as State Trusts, substituting their state-of-state organizations for ours, nor any of the criminal impersonations and undisclosed registrations of individual Americans that have taken place.

There is no plausible excuse for them bringing their Admiralty and Maritime courts ashore and misaddressing American civilians as corporate franchises and foreign persons in their own country.

All of this is in direct violation of both The Constitution of the United States of America and The Constitution of the United States, Article IV, in its entirety.

These men and women are present in our country to provide us with essential government services in "good faith", not to practice crimes of personage against us and pretend that they are our "representatives", custodians, guardians, and trustees.

For those who cannot believe that the Admiralty and Maritime courts presently operating in this country have been used to promote illegal and immoral confiscation of Autochthonous American assets, to commit personage against average Americans, to create a rigged bond market and to provide commissions masked as "pension payments" to the men and women engaged in this criminal activity, we are attaching a 66 page pdf file that adequately explains the Court Registry Investment System (CRIS) and documents its receipts.

So there is actually a thing called an Abraham Lincoln impersonator/re-enactor, and yes it is part of historical re-enactments as a whole, I just find it it funny that it's Lincoln specifically, especially with the context of Clone High.

Abe is an actual genetic clone of the man, do you think he would get approved to be a re-enactor, or would he be disqualified/be considered cheating since he is a legitimate genetic clone?

[fromthestacks]

There’s an Abraham Lincoln impersonator in my city who ran for mayor awhile back. He dresses as Lincoln so often I genuinely would not recognize him out of the hat. Local politics are fucking WILD and I absolutely recommend getting involved on some level.

I wish everyone who was ever into knock down drag out fandom fights would direct all that energy towards their city council, I feel like that would transform society overnight.

No siendo ya extranjeros...

Lea: Efesios 2:19-22

Por eso, ya no sois extranjeros ni forasteros, sino conciudadanos de los santos y miembros de la familia de Dios, edificados sobre el fundamento de los apóstoles y profetas, siendo la principal piedra del ángulo Jesucristo mismo. Efesios 2:19-20

Pablo dice que aquellos de nosotros que hemos venido a Cristo ya no somos extranjeros ni forasteros. Para empezar, somos “conciudadanos de los santos”. Ha entrado usted en un nuevo reino. Ha cambiado su ciudadanía y se encuentra ahora bajo otra autoridad. Nosotros damos por sentado los derechos de la ciudadanía norteamericana, de tal manera que casi nos hemos olvidado del hecho de que nos encontramos bajo autoridad. El gobierno tiene ciertos poderes sobre nosotros. Nos encontramos bajo autoridad, que es la primera característica de la ciudadanía.

Pero lo que hace que nos regocijemos en nuestra ciudadanía es que disfrutamos de ciertos privilegios. Cuando yo viajo al extranjero me alegra siempre ser un ciudadano americano debido a que puedo disfrutar la protección que otras personas no tienen. En el reino de Dios tiene usted la protección de un Rey. Hay poder a su disposición, el poder de la resurrección, la clase de poder que obra mucho más allá de la manera de pensar y de los planes humanos, y Dios le invita a usted a pedirle Su ayuda respecto a ese recurso siempre que lo necesite usted.

En segundo lugar, somos “miembros de la familia de Dios”. Este es un avance acerca del primer punto. Somos miembros de la propia familia íntima de Dios. Un hijo siempre es de categoría superior a cualquier embajador, gobernador o secretario. Una biografía de Abraham Lincoln contaba un incidente cuando el presidente estaba con gabinete en una reunión de importancia crucial. Estaban en la sala del gabinete cuando alguien llamó a la puerta. Allí estaba Willy, el hijo de diez años del presidente, que quería ver a su padre. Lincoln dejó a todos los miembros del gabinete para ver qué era lo que quería Willy. Willy era superior a todos los allí reunidos. Esta es la gran verdad que está intentando explicar Pablo para nuestros corazones, que hace que tengamos acceso al Padre, que es el Rey y tiene una enorme autoridad y poder en los asuntos del mundo.

En tercer lugar, Pablo continúa hablando acerca de una relación más íntima: Usted ha sido edificado “sobre el fundamento de los apóstoles y los profetas, siendo la principal piedra del ángulo Jesucristo mismo”. Es posible que esto dé la impresión de ser en cierto modo menos importante. Después de todo, un edificio es un objeto un tanto frío e impersonal en comparación con la relación de una familia. Pero de hecho el apóstol se está acercando aun más, refiriéndose a una relación íntima, porque está enfatizando la intimidad de los miembros de la misma habitación de Dios, los unos con los otros y con el Señor.

Es posible para los miembros de una familia encontrarse dispersos por la tierra. Pero en la estructura del edificio, ninguna separación de las piedras que forman los muros es posible. Si se separasen las piedras, el edificio se derrumbaría, de modo que el apóstol nos está mostrando una relación más íntima.

Padre, ayúdame a recordar que en los tiempos de dificultad tengo el privilegio y los recursos que muchos no han reclamado jamás. Ayúdame a vivir en la plenitud de Tu provisión que Tú tienes para mí, no como un siervo, sino como un hijo del Dios viviente.

Aplicación a la vida:

La ciudadanía implica privilegio. ¿Cuáles son los privilegios únicos y los recursos que se encuentran a disposición de las personas que son ciudadanos del reino de Dios y miembros de Su familia?

(Ray Stedman).
