I don't think so. A lot of people say they love the book, but ask them what they subtitle means and they have no idea. The full title of this book is Slaughterhouse Five, or The Children's Crusade: A Duty Dance of Death. The use of the word, "or," says to me that it is telling two stories, the one on the surface about a man who becomes "unstuck" to time, and the one below the surface referenced in the names of the characters (Billy Pilgrim and Valencia Merble), Billy Pilgrim's profession (Optometrist) and affiliations (Lions Club), and the places where things occurred (Dresden, Sugarloaf Mountain). I will try to focus on this part of the story that's embedded in the main story, and not the main story itself.
I'm not an expert on Slaughterhouse Five by any means. I didn't even read the book, I just watched the movie, but I think that nothing in this story is random, and that everything Vonnegut put into the story are puzzle pieces to a profoundly disturbing puzzle that I think is meant to shed light on what is happening to some of the children who go missing. I was almost one of them, and there appear to be some connections to what happened to me and the symbolism in the book, at least with the Lions Club, whose motto is "We Serve." There are some other things, like my elementary school Principal teaching me how to count to five in German (eins, zwei, drei, vier, fünf), but then it starts to look as if she may have played a role in a kidnapping attempt on me and I'm not sure if I have enough evidence to make that connection. Billy Pilgrim had to remember the words, "Schlachthof Fünf" so he could get back to his work camp in the event that he became lost. He repeated these words over and over after his plane crashed at Sugarbush Mountain and he was lying in the snow thinking that he would die.
I grew up in Belmont, Massachusetts and someone tried to kidnap me at age nine while I was walking to school from daycare with two other kids from daycare. Some guy parked his car so that the passenger door could only open about a foot or so because it was blocked by the tree shown in the photo. He said that the driver's door was locked and he needed one of us to squeeze in through the passenger door and unlock the door for him. Thankfully, none of us did. Instead, we ran and told the crossing guard, a Belmont Police officer, who did nothing. I don't even think that a police report was filed. My teacher didn't do anything when I told her either, and neither did my parents because they assumed that the crossing guard or teacher would have done something.
Recently I found an article from 2019 where the local Lions Club in Beaver Dam, Wisconsin was honoring crossing guards, which seemed strange to me, like it was another puzzle piece, like the Lions Club reference in Slaughterhouse Five. The town of Belmont, MA has a Lions Club building at 1 Royal Rd. that I always thought was creepy and resembled a dungeon. It also has arches, like the arch on the cover of Slaughterhouse Five. Belmont is also the home to the "World's Largest Brain Bank" which I suspect is harvesting pineal glands, which I wrote about that in another post.
I also found this "Three Arehes" restaurant in England run by S.A. Brains, and Co., Ltd. which is also strange to me. I wonder where the name, The Three Arches, comes from and what it refers to. Brains is also a very strange surname. I never met anyone or heard of anyone with the last name Brains before. I also found a photo of the Royal family where the girls appear to be forming three arches with the way they are holding their arms. That photo is in a Snopes article "debunking" the idea that the Royal family participates in human hunting parties where kidnapped kids are hunted and killed.
Valencia Merble is the wife of Billy Pilgrim, the protagonist in Slaughterhouse Five. Valencia Marble is a type of pink or yellow stone with veins in it that resemble brain tissue.
In Slaughterhouse Five, Billy Pilgrim's plane crashes at Sugarbush Mountain. Their logo also has an arch and what appears to be three Hebrew letter vav characters that have been reversed to look like mountains. Vav represents the letter v and the number 6. Monster energy drinks use a similar logo without reversing the characters.
I think the malt syrup being made in or near the slaughterhouse is significant too. I've felt for a while now that pineal glands were being added to food, as evidenced by pineal gland references in food company logos and references in commercials, but without a smoking gun, it's a very difficult thing to prove, but I'll keep trying because the evidence to support this theory is there. I believe that human pineal glands are the "food of the gods" as evidenced by this article, and that they are also the "forbidden fruit" from the book of Genesis, which I wrote about in this blog post.
One of the things I haven't figured out yet is the town of Ilium. Ilium is a hip bone, which has to have some significance, but I don't know what it is yet. If you have any ideas about this, please leave a comment.
