CL learning dictionary

Sup /прог/, or /προγκ/. I wrote this CL code to help myself with learning russian (I'm greek). I want to learn some words but I don't want to write them in sequence because human memory works in funny ways. I don't want preconceptions.

Anyhow, while all this works fine in the slime repl, it goes FUBAR as soon as I save it in a file. What fucking encoding am I supposed to use? With utf-8 I get a bunch of Ξ\255's in the code and as output, and with utf-16 I get compilation errors.

lo and behold,

;; utf-16

Building a New Jerusalem is a concept borrowed from the bible and this is understood only by people who understand the esoteric not exoteric understanding of the bible. William Blake was both a Druid and a freemason and understood perfectly the esoteric meaning of the Bible. Remember that the first two verses of Jerusalem are finished with question marks but the music is written to affirm the sentences as statements. The holy lamb of God is of course is Jesus Christ or Christos; meaning anointed one, Christos meaning oil. 'And did the Countenance Divine shine fourth upon our Clouded hills?' Countenance divine is off course the face of God or the Sun! Jesus being the light of the world he is off course the Sun in the age of pieces as understood esoterically, Astrotheology predating all major religions in the northern hemisphere. 'And was Jerusalem builded here among these dark Satanic mills?' Satanic mills of the industrial revolution turning England from the pleasant pastures scene and old way of living to the 'new agenda' that is Satanic or Saturnistic as Saturn is hugely important in our culture; see the black robes of judges, the mortarboard warn on the head at graduation or the circling of the cube at Mecca all Saturn symbology (google search how many companies use saturn as their symbol). Saturn was off course El in the ancient world and this is where we get our Elites who are elevated through elections etc etc etc. Building a New Jerusalem is the new seat of god from the bible and is the City of London in England where man has risen to the power of God, the demiurge! God save the Queen is an ode of worship to the Sovereign, off course we are all sovereign at birth until the signing of our birth contract by our mothers but in that hymn we call on the Sovereign long to reign over us coupled with rousing music as understood by occult people (occult meaning hidden in latin) creates an energetic call to action that actually resonates and brings about the notion that is expressed in the song (age old technique understood only at the high high levels) and so it is with Jerusalem with the last verse 'I will not cease from mental fight nor shall my sword sleep in my hand, till we have built Jerusalem in England green and pleasant land.' And that job is well and truly done! Bible prophecy comes true because it has happened before and will happen again it is the mind of man. The grate work in masonry refers to the perfection of society by man when he rises to the power of god (being a small clique who control monetary systems and old world elites). The then Pope of Freemasonry Alpert Pike wrote in his book Morals and Dogma that the lower orders of Freemasonry were like an outer wall of protection for the higher orders acting as a safe guard to a club that you and me are not invited to because we are of 'common' stock meaning that our genes have not been selected for a particular purpose. Time to wake up and start having the knowledge that and adult should have! Not just how to pay your taxes.
