Pearls of Wisdom from Jean Luc Picard

Excessive honesty can be disastrous

Particularly in a commander, 

knowing your own limitations is one thing

But advertising them to your crew

Can damage your credibility

As a leader

2024: The Year A I became mainstream

 Lots of dots being recognized in the matrix….

Google has cut over 12,000 roles since the start of January 2023, and in their latest layoff, they’ve cut 1000 Google employees from multiple divisions. 

🔑 Key Points:

• The divisions affected include the voice-activated Google Assistant and Devices and Services PA (DSPA) team, the Pixel team, the Nest team, and Fitbit hardware (which they recently acquired). 

• Google confirms the layoffs but describes them as part of ‘organizational changes’ for efficiency and alignment with product priorities—much to the dismay of the Alphabet Worker’s Union.

• Furthermore, they’ve also scaled down their AR hardware team and consolidated their engineering teams and the Google Assistant team with a focus on integrating AI-powered features.

  
  

  Bank of America is getting rid of people too.  1) I called the 800 number to report a charge I didn’t recognize…. The customer service rep assisted me, and then told me I could help myself by going to their web site.  So, 10 days after the old card was canceled, I received my new one.  It cannot be activated by phone.  You must go to the web site and open a B of A online account, and then activate the card there.

  
  

  I signed up for Verizon’s internet service in December.  In order to get the advertised monthly price, I am required to pay my bill by auto-pay.  Here’s the catch: I must give them my bank account info, or I must sign up for and use Verizon’s VISIA card.  The Verizon chat bot could not explain why I was unable to get the advertised  price…. The question, at my insistence, had to be moved up to the human interface.  Or was it just a senior chat bot?

Invaders - How it Was: January 2024

10,000 a day are crossing the southern border and are arrested and released. 5,000 cross the northern border and are processed.  These are the ones we “catch”.  14,409 Chinese crossed in the south during October-November 2023, and were detected.  We don’t know how many were not sent through processing centers.  We project 4 million will be arrested and released this year.  Up to 10 million are not caught in that year.

Several of the major U.S. cities count non-citizens in their census.  The census is used to determine population for the purpose of calculating the number of electoral votes assigned to that state.  The recent invasion is now worth 18 electoral votes. The census is also used to determine how many U.S. Representatives a state is allowed to send to the U.S. Congress.

Chicago is confiscating busses that arrive with immigrants. Bus drivers are now stopping in small towns outside the city, 30 or 40 miles from the city border.  They discharge their passengers into the small town and return to the border for another load.

New York City has moved public school students to ZOOM.  Indefinitely.  The school buildings are needed to house children who have recently crossed the border.  These children live in the school buildings now.  They sleep in the gym.

Border patrol has been called back from the border all along the Arizona border. Quarterly weapons training has been canceled.  These border agents are needed in processing centers to quickly process and release the new arrivals.  Tomorrow, a new swarm of young men will be waiting for their turn in the processing center.

Prior to Biden’s reign, ZERO invading immigrants were released.  They were caught, processed and either held or deported.

Plasma is Intelligent Life

 Joseph P. Farrell recently released a new book…. 

The Demon in the Ekur: Angels, Demons, Plasmas, Patristics, and Pyramids

Farrell discussed the book and its implications with Catherine Austin Fitts in an interview published December 12, 2023.  Unfortunately, this material is behind a paywall.

I listened last night, and THIS is what stuck with me.  Plasma makes up 99% of the Universe, and it is alive, and intelligent.  It consists of protons, neutrons and electrons, but they are not in the formation that we believe to exist in physical matter of our 1%.  It has a crystalline structure, and a very large memory.

As above, so below…. Below, in our physical bodies, our cells attack and try to eliminate non-self.  Plasma does the same.  Any artificial intelligence that is brought into being will be instinctively eliminated in the same manner.  A I cannot exist in the Universe.

The Sun is plasma, thus, alive.  In the not too distant past, the solar winds STOPPED for 2 days.  And they they restarted.  How could this happen?

You Don’t Own Your Stocks and Bonds

https://rumble.com/v40sifh-the-great-taking.html                                                                                       The Great Taking.  David Webb.

UCC (Uniform Commercial Code) statutes were changed is all 50 states between 1994 and 2004.  Previously, for 400 years, stocks and bonds were personal property. You bought it, you owned it.  If the broker you used to buy the security went bankrupt, the security was transferred to you, intact.  

The UCC statutory changes gave title to the security to the broker/dealer - you do not own the security, but you do have a contractual claim to its value.  Ownership of the security is now subject to the rules of  contract law.  You now merely purchase a “security entitlement” when you buy a stock or bond from a broker.  

If/When the broker/dealer goes bankrupt, title to the stocks and bonds that you though YOU own are now tied up up in the bankruptcy…. Because the broker/dealer is the legal owner of these assets.  You only have a claim of ownership under contract law, or  “beneficial ownership”.  Once the “secured creditors” are paid, the bankruptcy court may reimburse you with a pro-rata share of the security’s value.  All of these changes were put in place when bankruptcy laws were revised in 2005.

(Willkie, Farr & Gallagher, a big-ass law firm, issued a memorandum in 2008 regarding the Bear-Stearns bankruptcy.  It explained that new statutes prevented a “stockbroker” or “commodities broker” from filing Chapter 11, which allows reorganization of a bankrupt entity’s finances.  Only Chapter 7, liquidation, was possible.  Thus, J.P.Morgan bought Bear-Stearns for $2 a share.)

You should know that the securities you buy from a broker are held in a pool.  The only entity who knows that YOU bought the security is the broker/dealer.  There is no stock certificate or bond in existence with your name on it.  These are “book entry” or “paperless” securities.  The securities are said to be held in the Street Name.  (As in “Wall Street”!)  And in the event of the Custodian’s insolvency, you are entitled to recover only a pro-rate share of your investment.  

Even in the event of fraud, the secured creditors recover their losses before you, the purchaser of the security, is compensated.  This change in bankruptcy law was enacted in 2005.  “Safe harbor” protected bankruptcy trustees from fraudulent transfer of client assets to creditors.  The failure of Lehman Brothers cemented this principle into case law.  J.P.Morgan was both the custodian and the secured creditor who took client assets.  Prior to 2005, this would have been a fraudulent taking. The opinion from the U.S.D.C. Bankruptcy court distinguished Morgan as a member of the “protected class” of secured creditors, who was entitled to take client assets because, basically, they were too big to fail.

The Depository Trust Company (DTC) actually OWNS all securities in the U.S.  It is valued at $542 trillion. All broker/dealers and custodians transfer their holdings to the DTC, in pooled form.  Only the broker/dealers and custodians have a record that YOU made a purchase.  The DTC, the legal owner, has no such record.  In European countries, the equivalents of the U.S.’s DTC are the Central Securities Depositories (CSD), which roll up to EuroClear in Belgium.  In 2014, an international clearing house was created, joining the DTC and the CDS. This permits virtually instant transfer of assets if required to maintain solvency of large institutions.  This international clearing house also maintains derivative contracts, thus, the huge $542 trillion number.

The Central Clearing Party (CCP) is is the international clearinghouse for all derivative trades, and the counter party on all derivative contracts.  One no longer knows the credit-worthiness of the counter party to one’s contract. There are plans for what happens if the CCP fails, i.e., how to “reset”.  The old system will not be “fixed”.  A new system will be created.

(Catherine Austin Fitts will be releasing an interview with David Webb in January. Catherine is not in complete agreement with David’s analysis of the situation.  I can’t wait to hear.  ALSO, David Webb’s .pdf of “The Great Taking” has more detail than the documentary film linked above.  You can find a free download of the .pdf at https://thegreattaking.com/  David is a retired hedge fund manager.  He relates his history and experience in the first portion of the film.  He left the U.S. and now resides in Sweden.)

Rabbit Holes

Peter Russell

The division became unrepairable when science and the church defined their territory.  Science was to study Things - referred to “scientists” as Natural Philosophers.  Matters of the Mind was left to the Church.

The MIND pertains to: Intuition, Memory, Imagination, Perception, Sensation, Heart, Feeling, Emotions, Thinking, Reasoning.

Copernicus said the earth revolves and also orbits the sun, in 1543.  60 years later, Galialo…. Kepler…. Identified orbits and elliptical patterns.  40 years later, Newton.  Then Max Plank.  Each age embodied a “Paradigm”. A paradigm involves accepted beliefs within a scientific field.  That is THE definition of the word. 

Anomalies of the Denial of Consciousness:  Remote Viewing, Reincarnation, Healing, Consciousness.  The first 3 are not yet accepted.  The Last, Consciousness, is ignored.  We try to explain Consciousness using words that are relevant only in the world of Matter.

Living Beings “see” the image in the mind’s eye… it came in through the senses, and formed the image, based on entrenched perceptions.  We perceive 1/10th of a second behind reality.

Kant understood Space and Time.  Space and Time are variable.\\

Our world is only Our experience. Our Experience is not an accurate representation of the world.

Matter is not solid. An atom is 99.9% empty space.  Waves form particles… and vice-versa.  Matter only exists in the Mind.

Tools of Creativity. Control Them.  Desire, Wish, Belief, Thought, Imagination, hearing, seeing, speaking, feeling, acting.

Removal from the Ego and the stream of time are needed.

“Ascension” is not entwined worth the present personality, and physics prevents us from going there in our current form.

Ramblings

 “Vindictive people often try to draw others into their world.”  - Advice of Today

No one to talk to?  So talk to the page.  Write.  You love to write.   Your failure to produce a writing of substance, and to share it widely, is your own damned fault.  But it’s not too late.  But you just have to focus on a topic and audience.  It’s like the mission statement of a project plan.  I am not good at maintaining a focus.  Except that I like to write.

My writing mentors in this life were: Oliver Caldwell Biddle and Frederick C. Ballard, Sr.  Both partners at Ballard Spahr Andrews and Ingersoll, where I worked as a litigation paralegal for a few years. I was right out of school, like 22 years old.  Fred Ballard mentored young lawyers in the firm in the craft of writing.  Oliver challenged me to write a Memo of Fact for a petition for certiorari to the U.S. Supreme Court. I also worked with David L. Cohen and Helen Pudlin, but with them I was slave labor. Fred and Oliver saw me a a resource worth developing.

I could publish a book of shorts.  Short essays or stories on one particular topic.  I already have a lot of these in this blog.  Those newly arrived senior citizens will be the audience.  Turning 70 hit me hard.

I don’t pay much attention to the political narrative.  I’ve given up on that.  I hear…. Israel/Gaza, Iran, Taiwan/China, the Biden show, MAGA nonsense, christian issues (they seem to have a lot of them…. How about Live and Let Live?).

Tucker split, ignored his contract, and immediately started his own show. There has been no consequence that is publicly known about why this was allowed to happen.  Whey didn’t his employer go after him?

Bad dream this morning.  Was at 222 with Vicki. She was looking at the HBO and Netflix movies, and deciding what she wants for breakfast.  Eggs and scrapple.  But I have no scrapple.  She tells me I can just run to the store to buy some.  That thought, that exertion, shuts me down and I physically collapse.

I walk into the kitchen. There is a tile floor, with  12 x 12 beige squares. There is a cut and a deep hole in one of the tiles.  And then, in 2 or 3 tiles.  And then, two hole tiles are GONE with deep shafts descending into darkness.

I wake up.  End of dream.

Betsy sent me a card.  “Thinking of You”  “I know your relationship sucked, but I also know it doesn’t mean a myriad of emotions will likely visit these next days.  Embrace each one of them and know it’s Okay.  Xo”

Do I blog the mother story? Or do I just leave it alone and bury it?  Well, I don’t think it is appropriate to relate the story here, publicly.  So I won’t.

So how the hell will I get myself (and all my animals and material things worth keeping) to Roanoke?  I just cannot envision where I would live…. House, in-law suite, condo, townhouse, apartment, senior living village or facility.  I just can’t vision it yet.  Make a list of the obstacles.  Then develop a plan to overcome each.  Just thought of one as I sit here:  Callie the calico cat - can be Shelle’s responsibility to take home.  One down, ? To go….  I need to have the steps laid out in my head before proceeding. And I must KNOW who I can depend on for support

Contribution. What contribution can I make?  I can cook.  I can do the bookkeeping. I know alot about natural health options and practices. I make and distribute colloidal silver to those in want or need.
