Keep The Stack Of Books Tight Under Your Arm

The highest point of humanity, the peak chapter of the cycles of the human race, is this precise moment, when some person, young or old, man or woman, runs across a town square (such as it may be, for instance, in ancient Tyre or Sidon, or Alexandria when it was burning to the ground - which happened several times of course) with a small pile of books or texts under their arm, their cloak flailing in the breeze and tumult swirling around them.

If it were not for some of these incidents, I assure you we would not know Euclid as we do today, nor Al Kindi, nor several other incalculably valuable masters, that is to say, their written works.

By some remarkable co-incidence, it was this fellow Jesus Christ, who made reference to Atlantis - and I again assure you that is what he meant - when he said the following: "...for if the miracles that had been performed in you had have been performed in Tyre and Sidon, they would have repented long before (their destruction)."

At the time of the 'infamous' Atlantis, it was reported by the Greeks that 'the sons of Posiedon' ruled the world, and specifically, they possessed the mighty city-state of Atlantis.

Now I'm not going to go into who are 'the sons of Poseidon,' but if you go by the impression of the person (no such word as 'person' by the way, in Arabic, which is the main reason Islam doesn't get on with Christianity - in Arabic, the closest word is like 'animated cadaver; or 'mortal but living body.' And thusly it is problematic to translate that: 'God is a cadaver, though living for a time...' from the Christian texts back into Arabic!!) -,

anyway, if you go by the person who should have known in great detail, assuming they were indeed 'God,' Atlantis was destroyed by the great council of 'gods' (Plato's description, not mine) for far less than what modern societies behavior could be accounted as having 'achieved' in 'evilness.'

Now I see I'm going to have to revisit this subject at some later point and expand on what types of beings were allowed to survive the destruction of Atlantis, according to the Greeks.

For now I want to suggest that you keep an eye open for those things you know are truly important, and practice tucking them under your arm as you run across city squares at the moments of destruction of civilization - such as it is. If you can really call it 'civilization.'

Actually I hesitated to even approach what I need to talk about, because it was with a heavy heart and much misgiving that I was about to talk about certain things claimed to be 'in short supply' but which really are not. You see, if I talk about them, there is a chance that picture will change about their pricing and so on, and I'll readily admit I have an interest in exploiting lies people tell, if I happen to know they are lies.

Chef - we burnt the steak!

I don't really go around with this sense of moral duty to 'loudly proclaim the truth in the market square...' LOL

Now d'you see what I mean? I don't wish to save the people from anything. Not all of them, anyway. But I do wish to preserve the great ideas and technologies and texts and things like that, in case of flood. Although they do say 'the fire next time.'

Are we here yet?

We're here.

'When Taken At The Flood' Meaning

'There is a tide in the affairs of men, which, taken at the flood, leads on to fortune.'

This is a quote from Shakespeare's Julius Caesar, and said by the character 'Brutus.'

Now I'm looking at this saying because of the nature of 'news' as we are getting it these days - we are not getting a rising tide, or a flood or any kind of ebb and flow, instead we are getting a 'standing wave.'

Pirate's Lane, New Orleans

In electronics particularly, since this is an area of modern human expertise and which knowledge (basically of physics) we apply to deliver us many practical functions - a standing wave will inevitably cause a change of state. A standing wave in capital creates entirely new forms of money.

And this is because 'money' is very decidedly concerned with 'fortune,' good or bad, much or little.

People are induced to expend energy and effort on account of their assessments of risk and reward - but, when there is no such requirement for astute assessment of anything, then society runs down in total amount of energy expended. The law of 'conservation of energy' is about efficiency in dynamic action, it is not about ceasing to use energy at all; when that happens things die.

Retreating from the maelstrom of current affairs, is an entirely wise thing to do, because the 'maelstrom' is nothing more than a standing wave of chaos - nothing is really happening, but it only seems that it is. None of the fundamental issues behind the problems are being resolved, and they won't be either. Andrew Weissmann, Robert Mueller, MI5/MI6, active shooters, 'live' streaming of 'death,' Brexit/the Eu experiment, all of these things, these identities associated with the events - are worthless to you.

But if governments and the media and administrative bureaucracies continually refuse to address reality, maybe it's time you did yourself acting on your own personal sense of responsibility to yourself. Brutus was trying to spread the blame and the responsibility around, yet he was party to murder. Modern governments and the media are no different. 

The actual reality, is something that, if you leave it up to governments and the media, you will only learn about six to ten years from now!

Things have already moved on from where these criminals are pretending to you, that 'it all still is at.'

Welcome. Come in.

You have to start to envisage what you think the world will be or might be like say, ten years from now - if I just spell it all out it would not have the same impact in your mind as if you thought it out yourself...

When you do this projection, than kick it back to now, and say to yourself 'this is what it is like right now.'

...So what will it really be like an actual ten years from now?

The Most Exciting Blog On The Internet

If I had have known something like this place, and the people behind it, when I was say seventeen or eighteen - I would have done cartwheels!

As you all must realize by now, we do not use 'subscriber bot programs' or indulge in any of the 'viewer boost' programs widely available, and there is zero doubt whatsoever, that the main search engines block people like us from the top-lists because we don't host advertising and we come up regularly on the blocked key word search lists. Arabic language is a no-no unless you have a site in the Middle East or have asked for a special listing, and so are certain names and phrases - Five Eyes Five Eye Five Eyes... LOL

There goes another ten levels down.

Blue cheese and milk stout...

Nonetheless we get about three to four private emails per week from readers asking for something directly, and not all of these are super-important or super-dooper serious, but a proportion are.

There are some really interesting people around the place here...

I used to have this totally unquestioned subtext to everything I did when I was a young researcher, that Pythagoras was one of the most significant people that ever lived, and that he was an example of the kind of person you need to know. 

And I was right, actually. You see, the mathematics of a great genius and engineer, even designer, exerts power and control over the material world in ways that no one else can attain to having (IE the power to use in those ways).

Yum - ribs and milk stout

Even when you look at the character in modern times known as Jesus Christ, you are looking at someone 'messing around' with material reality as it appears to us superficially in the daily common run of things - but was he really 'just' another engineer at heart? Every single metaphysical idea he espoused and sought to 'teach' about, was accompanied by a physical incident which called into question our common understanding of reality as we think we are experiencing it. 'We' are no more or no less than our own positional outlook at a given time though, our perception coming from our standpoint; and the bases of information that we are recruiting to inform our 'grasp' of just what is actually going on. And yet we 'ought to know' (because we do know it) and bear it in the forefronts of our minds, that what we see is only a fraction of what is there, the rest being covered in our own darkness, our own ignorance.

I certainly hope no one is coming here thinking that this place is NOT about making money, because it is. 

I know that were I back at the youthful age again as I described above, and fell across this site, I would know within a short span what kinds of questions to ask the people running it.

You see a glass of stout but you don't see the milk.

You see the brushed copper but you don't sense its smell when you rub your fingers across its metal surface. ...Because you don't know to rub it.

Aladdin's lamp was never made of copper, that's for sure, and not from brass either which smells even worse.

The Scary Occultism Of The Hollywood Hills Area

The main top-tier celebrity and multi-millionaire residential areas of Hollywood - the Hollywood Hills, Beverly Hills locations - are just a couple of miles North-West of Downturn Los Angeles, and just beneath the classical Burbank area with its old school filming lots and production warehouses and modern offices. Officially, the estimated total population of the whole of Los Angeles - which is rather a big area - is a mere four million people. If it were a lot larger by population you could certainly expect there to be the occasional story of murder and weird stuff going on in 'the underbelly' so to speak. But not so California generally though, and Los Angeles specifically. There is a much higher incidence than what is the norm elsewhere. Okay maybe for the sake of melodrama and their reputation as the global center of Saturday Matinee entertainment, the locals are also putting on the hat and cloak of being 'out there' to some extent as well.

The foothills past Mulholland Drive at night

But, as they say, 'there are persisting rumors' sourced to well-placed individuals - in the FBI, local police, senior lawyers, the occasional serious journalist - about a genuine undercurrent of highly-organized activities to do with the 'Left Hand Path.' And these things involve very notorious practices much along the same lines as what the UK's Operation Yewtree uncovered.

And yet, even with Operation Yewtree, which is theoretically still an on-going police inquiry, most of the accused people there died prior to any court cases being heard completely. 

Governments and their administrative bureaucracies still indulge in 'show trials' designed to distract attention and prove ineffectual at the end of a very long day against something that the public wants properly resolved. And why do governments behave this way? We can but wonder.

A few people have been raising with me recently, the perhaps very sinister and certainly much darker rites of 'inner' (genuinely occult) Freemasonry, that a number of recent events and goings-on are said by conspiracy theorists to have connected to them (that is, to the events). 

Same place, different angle, daytime

As Sherlock Holmes pointed out, Freemasons are men attracted to reason and the brotherhood of Man - rather than to any truly sinister undertakings. And that much is true enough as far as it goes.

I find myself stuck between the gibberish espoused by 'experts' all over the internet, and the need to say a few revealing things to those more intellectual people on such 'conspiracy theory' matters. For me I find it's almost impossible to cut across the jargon that is now widely taken to be 'the obvious truth' about these sorts of matters.

And it's also very tricky because the (really) 'true' explanation is nuanced far above the simplistic sloganism that will trap the higher ideas down into the grotesque and rude 'simple' versions - which might yet still employ somewhat similar words:

'The Bible has been corrupted.'

Well, yes, and no. There is no such thing as THE Bible... There are dozens of versions in several different languages, but the books of the acknowledged canon whole text are all agreed to be the same. So, you have a 'Book of The Exodus' - but the Greek version taken from the 'original Septuagint' (meaning the first time the thing was authoritatively COMPILED by a wide range of scholars of the day), is different from the Hebrew version and a lot different to some of the English translated versions of basically the exact same core text and source.

Whether it is sufficient to say 'corrupted' when there is the clear-cut use of the word 'defrauded' (and also - 'defective') when Exodus in the Koine Greek makes reference to Jehovah the (defective!) 'god' of Moses, compared to the KJV standard modern text which uses a completely different slant - namely, that 'previously the god was not made clear to the people by this name...' 'Not made clear' and 'defraud' are you will agree, wildly different in tone and ultimate meaning and implication.

Moses was an apostate to the original God of the House of Jacob and to Israel generally. Mount Sinai simply is not a place that anyone can completely agree upon that it even existed at all, or where it actually was located when this person 'Moses' (of whom we have exactly zero primary evidence for his existence) took his followers there and met with an unstable 'god' hidden in a dark cloud who defrauded the priests...!

But what we do have and that is completely consistent in all of the texts and text versions, is that possibly 'Mount Sinai' is in Egypt and that this 'god' (of Moses) demanded that there were no steps going up to the altar place but only sloping ramps...

IF - the cult of Freemasons dates back to this 'time' (whenever it really was) of Moses and the sloping ramps up to the altar places at the sides of the Pyramids in Egypt, and 'stone mason' refers to the construction of the Pyramids - THEN the 'Grand Architect of the Universe' would not be too far away from responsibility for the building of the greatest buildings of the World of all time, and IF it is a 'jealous god' THEN the world's tallest building soon-to-be, being constructed in Jeddah by our friend Al Waleed, would be riddled with inscriptions 'consecrating' it to the Master Builder of the Freemasons, as prescribed to Moses by his deceiving 'god.' Who talked to him out of a thick BLACK cloud, and who warned others of not approaching 'lest he break out against them.' ...And some of them die. Or else be sacrificed as an appeasement to the wrath of this jealous 'god.'
  
There is another 'Mount Sinai' in South Eastern Arabia in or near what is a contested border with Yemen. And there is plenty of authentic scholarly discussion about the very meaning of the word 'Sinai' and that it likely simply means 'of the Moon's light.' There are also places called the 'Mount of Moses', and other places called the Mount of Glowing Light ('Horeb').

These people - like Jay-Z here - think they are cajoling, or appeasing,
or serving or partnering the god of Mount Sinai. But that god has no partners,
and is a jealous god, and will kill you and destroy you if you are weak towards it
in anyway. What people in the occult are doing to demonstrate they are not weak,
is committing pretty dark crimes to indicate a misconstruction about themselves.

One of the easiest things to prove in any of these occult matters, is that of the evil forces of the Cosmos or of 'Nature' if you will, such as it is obtained to Mankind. It is much easier to 'prove' or to demonstrate reliably, evil powers and forces, than it is to evidence 'the Good,' which relies on much finer and subtler awareness. The 'god' of Moses promised certain things in exchange for servitude by the priests and the followers of Moses, ALONG WITH the observation of various 'laws' and rules and regulations - and these promises are all material ones...

But as Jesus Christ said to the Sadducees: 'what good father would hold up a snake or a serpent to his children in response to their hunger?' ...A lot of worldly power and material wealth comes from congress with a very evil power and force in the human plane, one that steals, kills, and destroys. It is possible to get it to release and relinquish that which it has appropriated, but in order to do so, one is required to be able to command it.

Fermi Versus Trumbull

Trumbull? Who is 'Trumbull?'

One of our readers here has suggested the Fermi Paradox extension theorem about intelligent civilizations 'by nature' self-destructing over time - and that this could be the reason the world is presently in the state that it is in, compared with only say fifty or a hundred years ago, when it was very clear there were abundant examples of superior intellectuals and abundant examples of very sophisticated art and culture.

It's pretty hard to put the band 'Prodigy' on quite the same plane as Borodin or Tchaikovsky or Stravinsky, or Bach or Jerome Kern. Frankly it's not quite so hard to make a rough equivalency case for John Lydon with these other luminaries, but then, there's the point, the media quite deliberately suppressed Lydon and the Sex Pistols and developed their own 'punk' narrative and body of work and pushed these into the public's mind, and which bore little actual relationship with what Malcolm McLaren and John Lydon had started. Certainly not in terms of the underlying philosophy of making what you could creatively from what you had materially-speaking and admitting that what you had was very little.

Fermi's most famous accessible idea was that there seemed to be a paradox between the statistical likelihood there were intelligent beings elsewhere in the Universe, and the fact there was no non-conjectural evidence of them at all.

I mean there is plenty of 'evidence' but almost none of it is objectively and widely agreed upon to be solid enough to draw fact-based positive conclusions.

So. Trumbull.

I refer to Douglas Trumbull, the more or less discarded genius innovator who was most directly responsible apart from Kubrick himself, for the visual 'feel' and realism of the movie '2001, a Space Odyssey.'

So 'retro-futurism' that it is just plain retro now!!

Trumbull worked on just about everything else in sci-fi of any substantial note: Blade Runner, Brainstorm with Natalie Wood who died during the making of the movie, Star Trek, close Encounters... ...need I say more. He was pre-committed to other projects during Star Wars.

Now here's the thing I find odd about the human race - but now it's not quite fair though, to include Fermi in this aspect of it all, because he was both a theoretical as well as an industrial, practical mathematician and engineer - however, the odd thing is that people rush to scientists to find aliens and to consider ways of 'capturing' them or proving they exist, but they never consult people like Trumbull, who is more responsible than possibly anyone else in this era for the public's pre-conceptions about what aliens must be like. Trumbull is himself an amazing practical engineer, who is acknowledged as an expert on vacuum hydraulics and water dynamics and various other dynamic energy and kinetic systems. As was Fermi, certainly.

Human beings tend to assume that out present state of science (and therefore our scientific mind) is even close to that of advanced intelligent species - and therefore 'scientists' must occupy the pre-eminent place worthy of respect vis-a-vis who gets to communicate with aliens.

LOL

'Intelligent' species must destroy themselves by nature, but not so that nothing is left afterwards - the highest point of any sentient biological group must be above and beyond 'intelligence' which must become redundant at the point of sophonce; or let's say 'hyperturing sophonce.' At the point of hyperturing sophonce all things are known, all calculations made; there is no requirement for 'clever guessing based on likelihoods (intelligence)...
