Speaking Of Coffee

Today the pop singer and live stage performer Katy Perry begins her residency at the Resorts World Casino in Las Vegas.

Resorts World is owned by the Malaysian Genting Group, but underlying this particular Las Vegas facility are also a number of other Asian and Middle Eastern billionaire interests, besides the main one, and additionally, there is a small handful of American interests such as the Hilton Group involved in the gaming and hotel/resorts venture.

Colored lights for kids.

One of those who is involved is a gentleman that I have at least met and chatted with on many occasions albeit that was quite some time ago now, when he was still living in the shadow of his China tycoon father - a man who dominated the children's sweets market in Hong Kong particularly.

Robert Kuok was already a very very wealthy individual when he spent most of his day at the Perth Stock Exchange trading floor, before retiring to one of the several of his penthouses around South Perth or Mounts Bay Road at the foot of Mount Eliza overlooking the city.

A lot of people knew Robert Kuok and he had the reputation of being a softly-spoken, polite, very friendly, rather innocent person who looked up to his father and I believe brother who were both still alive back then.

Anyway he's a multi-billionaire today and has several ice cream shops and lollie shops whatever you call them - in the Las Vegas complex - not to mention that he still, as the remaining representative of the 'Sugar Kings' Kuok Family, owns god-only-knows what all else around the whole entire world.

Apsaras and Gandharvas

When you get to be 'our age' over here - you know what I mean - the world is mostly just dead boring.

I mean sure you can have billions. And this coming year, for those with the drive, enthusiasm for work (and that would be Katy Perry for sure!), you can be very financially successful - it is the Chinese Year of the Black (a rare type) Water Tiger.

Looking over his recent pics, I know absolutely for sure and certain that Robert Kuok has not changed one little bit. He looks the same person. I think he 'sticks to his knitting' (although he was never afraid to jump into some tech stocks back in the day, with some success I must say, from what I knew off the trading floor).

Recently a couple of people from a 'special interest' group - mushrooms and things - pressed me a bit to give out what was this famous 'analog' (legal substitute) of the key Amanita Muscaria active ingredients and I said 'Nah I couldn't do that.'

I am not even close to being any kind of chemist and in that area we already have the esteemed Cornell U professor somewhere somewhere - that we could ask the advice of if it got down to actual matters of molecular structure and all of this. Not that it will ever. I wouldn't have thought.

Alexandra Badois - played the track below
this week.

Besides, when CIA did all these experiments via the Danish Plumrose Group in Singapore and Thailand, they already had access to the best industrial chemists and neurologists in the world and they knew what they were doing even back then.

You will recall that a very mysterious and now long since virtually mythical figure 'Jean Yves Leroy' at Shiseido had been dabbling post-WWII in Singapore with chemical creations that activated certain brain centers via olfactory compounds, for um, um, well anyway, someone back then - but then, all of his bottles of 'Nombre Noir' were destroyed and he 'killed himself' never to be heard of again.

Russian government-owned news service RT or Sputnik or whatever they called themselves released the story last week about Danish orphans being experimented on by 'someone' (they didn't exactly say who) with the backing of CIA...

LOL

Yeah, nah. Can't just give this kind of stuff out.

I find it more than a little bit funny, these days, that people think they can 'get educated' at Universities, and that there, somehow, they will have access to 'all knowledge of the world, head, heart and mind; Ka-He-Va.'

Yep. You wanna work hard and have billions - off you go then.

Don't let me stop you.

I also find it more than just a little bit funny that people don't think they will ever die either or that money is going to save their necks and give them a 'comfortable old age.'

Or that disaster will not strike them and kill them all off for good.

Because after all, it was only during the time of King Arthur long long ago that even the best of knights did bad things too and started wars and whatnot and failed to find the Holy Grail because they were not 'perfect' enough.

Isn't that so, Sir Pellinore?

You might have a billion dollars.

So what.

Every hair on your head is numbered.

A lot of people don't believe that.

What is 'perfect?'

What does it mean to be perfect, and to live a perfect life such that the Grail Guardians would let you in?

I know that the thought will flash through some people's heads 'But Mr Kuok inherited a thriving cash-flow business from his enterprising father and brother; I'm sure if I had just such a charmed start that I too could have a billion dollars...'

And so he did, and so too you most prolly could.

Speaking of coffee then, coffee is a lot better with some sugar in it, and kids like sweets though, not coffee.

I like coffee.

Kids tend not to like coffee because it tastes bitter!

And sure, it does taste bitter, though not if you froth up some full-cream milk and add cardamom, honey, saffron and rose to it.

Actual song starts at around 1 minute 10 or so, although, I would let the thing play properly and let it 'sneak up on you.' They say, you know (well, Louis Theroux's father wrote it in the movie Pretty Woman), that if you cry the first time you see an opera live, the music is in your soul.

 

Where Is The Gold?

The state in Brazil called Bahia has been suffering massive flooding in recent weeks because of the bursting of a series of dams in the northern parts of Bahia.

In addition to the displacement of thousands of residents, there have also been landslides and literally whole towns and entire regions are still under water.

Earlier this year, the major coffee-growing region of Minas Gerais - which is the state on the southern boundary of Bahia - was struck by unusual frost, destroying 30 percent of the coffee crop.

Is still more valuable than gold.

Since at least 2018 in fact, there has been nothing but a continuing set of incidents, mostly of natural disasters until this last one that has to do with the structural collapsing of several very large dams all at the same time.

Can the world price of coffee survive all of this - all of these accidents?

Well it can, because the World Federal Reserve Coffee Board simply creates and issues whatever amount of coffee that the global market needs in order to assure supply. It does this by 'manifesting' fully and properly fermented coffee beans - all of the highest grade, 'high grown' Blue Mountain Arabica type - and whenever necessary, there are also 'back room' departments in which this supply of beans is roasted by specialty roasters to absolute perfection. All of this is so that the world supply can always be guaranteed, at the permanent highest quality, and with prices that can be stabilized at all times. (There are still coffee 'traders' but because the prices are controlled, most traders always lose money and the biggest ones are continuously bailed-out by the WFRCB in order that there can be an 'organised market' for coffee producers and coffee wholesale pricing). 

Additionally, the WFRCB ran a series of important global 'stress tests' among all of its registered distributing houses, and, although they acknowledged there was pressure from a new technical development known as 'crypto-coffee,' nevertheless they were assured from the stress test exercises, that they would certainly be able to totally control the whole world and that nothing at all would upset their apple-cart, so to speak -, or as in this case, the coffee cart-el.

Conspiracy theorists had been promoting a false story that the world's premier leading scientist Dr Anthony Fauci, had successfully conducted some interesting experiments with funding from the US Congress, and that he had been able to create in a secret laboratory, a coffee bacteria which was deadly to drinkers but which they could not avoid ingesting because of course, coffee is addictive.

...And gold!

According to these same conspiracy theorists, originally, Dr Fauci had worked on a patented antidote (which patent he shared in his own personal name along with financial backers George Soros and Bill Gates) that was able to be added to the coffee as a white milk substitute - but his marketing department vetoed that idea because of course, milk is racist.

As at this current moment, the US Congress has passed vital legislation implementing a raft of laws with severe penalties for anyone caught promoting or spreading any such false conspiracy stories about the coffee market, or Dr Fauci or anyone formally registered with the WFRCB - other than as legitimate news items to be covered only by legitimate news outlets with the view of alerting people to the dangers and risks of false information about coffee.

Dr Fauci has recently been on record as stating quite categorically, that he does not have any such 'coffee bacteria' or any other form of biological medium that involves coffee and the global coffee crop, and that everyone should simply rest assured, and take his word for it, that coffee prices will always remain low and stable at these low low prices for ever - and that any false stories in social media to the effect that he has personally been buying coffee futures, are all outrageous lies.

Better than gold, and saffron - 
even Persian red saffron!

He was in favor of the idea of a US Presidential decree, making it a Federal offense for anyone to be caught hoarding stockpiles of coffee in order to make a quick buck from profiteering when, sorry, in the impossible event that, coffee prices should ever go up at any time at all in the future; now, soon, or even at all ever. And he was also in favor too, of the proposition that Federally-funded black-masked jack-booted thugs should go door-to-door, enforcing such rules and laws and decrees, and that these heroes should be fully-armed with tasers and semi-automatics that could and should, be deployed against the children of any miscreant parents, in order to 'teach them a lesson about who's boss around here.'

Apparently, according to the US academic Carroll Quigley, democracies come about when private people have access to the best weapons and use them...

Havana Syndrome anyone?

...Still do not hear the knocking of the FBI on my door.

And what they don't know won't hurt them.

'Transverse audio waves,' eh. LOL

If things were not 'on hold' for right now... I mean, hey, you gotta buy some coffee, right.

Current coffee futures is at the 25 year mid-point at around $2.30 a trade unit (230 US cents per pound). The full contract physical form is 37,500 pounds (of 'green bean' coffee). But I would go down to your local shop and just buy a bunch of coffee in jars or tins.

Beyond Your Wildest Dreams...

Mountains of gold.

Those who are from above, speak of what they know.

'I don't care so much about philosophy and knowledge, and renunciation just yet - let me have at least, even just little of this - mountains of gold stuff!' First, and then, I will worry about all of this ineffable whatever later.

This is the correct attitude.

This is a real place, and the photo 
has not been manipulated in any way.

The point is not that you must not have wealth. And nor is it that you may not have material wealth before you are able to reach to the 'heavenly abodes.'

According to popular Sub-Continent folklore, the magically enlightened philosophers live in a secret place on Mount Meru. Even the Tibetans believe this.

Of course though, they do not. 'They...'

Well maybe they do live somewhere like that, but as even the common popular folklore has it, it is a secret place. So how would any of the ordinary people know, just exactly where it is?

Further, the Celestial Light is an incorrect translation of the wording that is used - even in the Hebrew deep texts; the wording is more - 'enlightenment.'

...Imagine that you are seated in a circular arrangement somewhere with a few people that you really like.

And that none of you have eyes. At least, not like you have them here.

(I am about to take you by the hand and place that hand of yours into the mountains of gold, by the way).

In the ancient Sanskrit, the identity who oversees all of this is the goddess Vach, or sometimes written as 'Vac.' In the Norse, it is Vor. Both are pronounced exactly the same way.

So, you guys all have no eyes.

'God' - that is, real actual God God, is light. But then again, not 'light' like we see photons speeding around in our material Universe; this 'light' is everywhere absolutely all at once - not only everywhere, but everywhence. It is in the past, it is in the now, it is in the future.

And because it is everywhere and in every time, in fact what 'is not' or 'is not yet,' in our material Universe, was already first 'there' in that other unexplainable place. 

You must first have the mountains of wealth, the mountains of gold there.

And that is easy.

You have no eyes. Instead, there is light only, in the places that your 'eyes' were. The light shines inward, into your mind, and throughout your whole emotional being, and outward, in beams to the others there with you and it flows in them and out through them.

Vor provides you all with the light, and since it is actual God anyway, you are caught up in the light and since the light has Supreme Power whatever you 'Vac' (or 'Vor') becomes fully real. Well, it was already real anyway. The difference being that when you were living as a human being, you were not 'there.' And you were relatively powerless.

You'll all blind yourselves though - and you will blind those others that you have dragged in there with you - if you start out with the 'God light' intensity.

Start out nice and moderate like a large moon in the still evening in the Tropics maybe.

And only then, turn it up until you hit that intense blue, like some expensive diamond you bought in Antwerp!

And mind your manners though, right? It's not Birmingham where you are! (Jeremy Clarkson does not think much of Birmingham, and neither do I).

Merry Christmas!

Today, my time down here (is already Christmas Day!) I shall be going out in a million degrees heat to a small private function with John A., (another John - we're everywhere) and his family.

They will have their very good quality air conditioner on full blast, I hope.

I will keep my mouth shut on tricky subjects and the only politics being talked will be from their end, and I will nod and go 'yes yes.'

Australians have lamb this time of year
down here. Prolly not
set out like this though. Mostly not.
But you can get it like this too...

They have Millennial kids however, and I like Millennials. Other people don't but I do.

They always go 'awesome' or 'too easy' or 'no problems' and they make coffee too.

Cannot complain about that kind of thing. How can you complain about it?

Christmas is this time when the Christians celebrate the birth of actual God God, as a human being, following which some other human beings then killed Him.

Brilliant.

You've got to hand it to the 'some other human beings.'

They seem to be with us all the time, these 'some other human beings' - never died out with the dinosaurs, think and act like the dinosaurs though and off they go, killing and pillaging and ravaging and crashing all over everything nice, pretty much all of the time. They make 'rules,' too. And they hold guns to your head or swords to your neck so that you have to follow their rules.

And God, what does He think about the fellas that killed Him?

Actually never mind what He thinks about them, the question is, what is He going to do about them?

It's all about the red.
This coming year.

That's one problem as you know, with 'Christians.' They all think their 'God' is this lunatic who forgives the literally worst people, and ignores His most faithful followers (parable of the prodigal son, right?).

That is not actually what the parable in question says and nowhere does it say God is not a God of Retributive actions. But hey, Christians all believe any kind of thing they want.

There is nobody alive with half a brain who is sitting around this Christmas going 'Ho Ho Ho I am so pleased that governments and leaders and so on are that kind of person who is just so forgivable.'

The people who killed God back then might have been somewhat forgivable - none of them had actually seen Him turn up back from the dead at the time they wanted to kill Him!

So it is at least reasonable to accept that they were protecting their power and their position the only way they knew how, still know how and do still today - which is that they kill their opposition.

I guess though, here is the bottom line with this matter. Nobody still has seen this guy turn up back from the dead, at least not in their own lifetimes now; and I do agree, we cannot simply just take other people's word for these kinds of stupendously, incredibly, important things.

If someone really came back from the dead, it's an important and a serious matter. Philosophically, scientifically, everything. It's just important.

You can't just go hide, and 'forgive' bad people but hide and let all the good people go down miserably.

I am hoping we can do 'red' but do it
with some panache and some 'design.'

Well.

I guess you have never been told about the 'Seven Thunders.'

It's a bitter thing to swallow.

And whoever has swallowed it, has to prophecy again before many peoples, and nations and tongues and kings.

The thing was sealed up, as you recall.

'Has to...' 'prophecy.'

I tell you what -, my guess is, it is not about how nice things are going to be for all of them.

What is your guess?

Do you think prophets are allowed to make money on the side? Thales did. But was he a prophet?

Well yes, yes he was. Ancient astronaut theorists say that 'yes!'

And so do I.

...Just some nice calming, quiet music so that you don't have to feel so disturbed. After all, it is Christmas, and - . Not sure what else 'and.' LOL

Why I Am Reticent

Off and on for many years, well, no, I'd better put it this way - my mother's side of the family has had businesses in this local city of mine for a hundred years since before I ever started here.

Let me quickly add though, because we had been away from the country for forty years, albeit my grandmother was here, I had to start totally independently, with my own capital and 'no friends at all!'

Sonya Glyn Nicholson - wife
of the estimable Hugo Jacomet,
personal friend of...
...Edmond de Rothschild.
Vipe? Are you listening?

Nevertheless, what with one thing and another, I ended up more or less picking up the exact same family associations all over again that my grandfather, grandmother and mother had here a million years ago.

One of these is Perth's (literally is this) biggest individual private landowner in the city - his surname is Freedman. Viper? Are you around? LOL

He's a stunningly nice guy - I like him because just about everyone else hates him. The Council hates him except they need him.

But anyway, aside from all of the politics, it's due to these fairly loose associations that I get to rub shoulders with some pretty well-known international celebrities, one reason I guess is because Jacobson's (Viper, are you paying attention?) is the biggest bookings and management agency in the the whole of Australasia and by a very long stretch of the straight too. And Jacobson's books in Freedman's places, obviously.

LOL

Viper, are you listening?

Okay, okay, forget all of the Semitic references...

So just yesterday I was able to casually throw a few questions at this really huge talent (cannot, simply cannot say whom), and I ask her how on earth she manages to produce hit after hit (it must take so much work to produce each one of those things in the first place) and do so much 'live performance' work too, like, for one thing - doesn't she get tired?

Easy when you have the wealth
to put on the masks.

And she tells me, that her act is based on an up-beat self-expression mode, and that once she goes into that it's really a performance mask and she is able to do it, one reason being that she does not actually have to 'face' deeply, encounter inside, anything people throw at her (we had been talking about the amount of back-biting and negativity all around the world these days, especially in American entertainment and media) - because the people around her are effectively talking to a mask.

Hmn.

Well. Works for her, but I did not like to press the point with her that she is also really really super talented as well! That kind of helps, I think maybe, to some extent. They need her, to make money out of her. Still I am aware though, some of them are pretty rough and they don't 'tone it down' any. I would not survive three weeks in that 'industry.'

It's dice-y. I think it still is pretty dice-y - they can dump you overnight. The big money backers; all tax-exiles in Switzerland and Monaco and those kinds of place, even Medellin! And Buenos Aires - where most people are poor these days.

Our Bill Smith was just this week showing me some Saudi news and also Saudi social media about how MBS 'has gone astray from the fold of Islam' and is doing so many 'murtad' things there recently - this was portrayed for example, with pics and short clips of the recent 'EDM live music festivals.'

And then, lo and behold I discovered Daniela De Lillo (DJ - 'Nora En Pure') was one of the headliners at the Saudi gig! 

Well she has just - and I mean over the last three weeks - gone from the West Coast of the US to Florida, to South Africa, to Saudi, back to Switzerland, and now she's headed off to somewhere else for another show somewhere, don't know where off the top of my head.

God, my head would spin.

Look at the way they feed you!
Three levels of 'healthy' salad, or something.
Three, levels.

So Nora En Pure was not here, and she was not the individual I was just speaking with (this lady is in a fairly different kind of musical genre, and much much 'higher up' on the celebrity scale) - but the same thing applies. How do they do it, really?

And will it all get to them at some point?

Sanskrit teachings say that these people are from the 'Gandharva' race, and their personal human lives all end in misery even though they bring a lot of joy to the world.

...Which leads me into the cause of my reticence to discuss with y'all, just right for the moment, how well we 'might' be doing right now.

There is no such thing as 'doing well.' Anything can happen. There can be interruptions, disruptions and slip-ups at any moment.

And I don't know how individuals are going to 'understand' things anyway - if I opened up on some 'strange and exotic subjects...'

Dark street somewhere - Milan,
maybe. Disappear you off in that kind of
setting - easy.

The Irish have folklore which has been turned into rubbish in recent times about gypsies stealing babies. It is not the gypsies that steal babies - it is the elves who rescue these 'Gandharvas' from the world of humans.

And they could take you too; no one needs to be some kind of 'genius' for them to show an interest in that person.

But if they took you, you would not be coming back.

So, just for the present time at least, let's go with the flow, and stick around here and play around with the idiots known as 'the human race.'

And what would they (the fellas upstairs, or the elves, whichever way you want to look at it) do with you, eh?

Maybe the Reptilians might want to eat you. Even the Amanita Elves will eat you.
