2024, if we ever get there will be interesting. 
If there ever was a case that Trump was a globalist agent, it could be 
made now with him going around with Bill O'Riley promoting the vaccines 
while the crowds boo. I don't think even 5% of his base are for vaccines
 and 0% are for mandates. 2024, if Trump runs will be like Romney vs 
Obama. Anyone the left runs will win. Trump needs to step aside and let 
someone like Desantis run. For FUCK'S SAKE!!!!!

re #28
I'm a NextDoor moderator (for several accounts - ask me how I did that.)
What you see as a moderator reveals quickly who is pulling strings in 
your community; and by community we can be talking a few blocks or a
Congressional district *wink wink*
It has been a lesson in "what FB, IG, Dischord, Whatsapp, etc potential
looks like"
I had a mayor pro-tem interview the hell out of me before making me a
mod for my own neighborhood.  She uses an alias "don't tell anybody who
I really am"  There are fringe websites claiming she does kooky things
like surveil her adversaries or naysayers - I can validate that.  However
this is a person with power to do things to people such as that white 
bicycle with candles I pass every day...a dead cop who got run off the road
bicycling that was one of her worst critics.  That's just a sample platter.
Moms' groups is a real thing.  We have Katie Porter in our District - just
a little while longer since  the gerrymandering by Congress recently.
Katie got into our district who "WHO THE F#@& KNOWS" method because it's
staunch conservative and she's a puppet for VP Harris and the Left.
My living room TV died recently and as an EET it's a cakewalk to fix
but I haven't and won't.  There is no good which can come from the media
nor the streaming channels.  My kid asked me about Boba Fett and I told
him DisneyPlus is the Devil and we dont pay for that because my pronouns
will stay intact.  Want to take an even deeper dive? Watch The Way Of The
Dog and tell me what the takeaway message is....it's more blatant than
the 'war' movie Thin Red Line which was another pedo freak movie.
Hey, if you like HP Lovecraft and the Egyptian boy he brought with him
to his Andy Warhol parties then I can't help you.  Why did Epsteins guards
get off the hook for letting him hang while they played online games?

1. They pyramids of Giza and the pyramids of Teotihuacan both align 
perfectly overhead to Orion's Belt. There are further monuments at 
Teotihuacan that also align with other stars beyond Orion.

2. A 15 year old boy found a lost Mayan city by overlaying star maps 
over ancient temples. "X" marks the spot. 
https://www.bbc.com/news/blogs-trending-36259047

3. How did ancient man calculate with exact precision, immense monuments
 that line up perfectly overhead to stars in the sky?

4. *Why* did ancient man line up immense monuments who's precise 
alignment appear to match stars only to those FLYING above?

5. How did two civilizations separated by time and thousands of miles 
create similar monuments that both aligned to the same stars without 
knowledge or communications with eachother?

ingenuity short.


#32 of 70 by walkman on Fri Feb 18 01:06:47 2022:

I'm just asking questions.
Yes, humans are intelligent. 
Archaeologists and historians are afraid to connect the dots are ask the
 obvious questions because doing so threatens the past work their
current  beliefs are based on.

The almost exact similarities with archaeological structures spanning 
the globe (construction methods & building shapes), belief systems, 
religious themes (men from the sky, floods, creation myths, etc.), and 
culture can't be explained away by coincidence IMO.

If we can rule out aliens and conclude smart humans, we should then ask 
why civilizations, written history and monuments didn't appear before 
10,000 BCE. Homo sapiens emerged in Africa around 300,000 years ago...


#33 of 70 by tod on Fri Feb 18 20:02:26 2022:

Civlizations are 5k years old but homo sapiens are 300k years old.
From 300,000 to 300 BCE...what kinda freaky carnival circus was going on
with homo sapiens that all of a sudden 5k years ago they started to
commune and farm?
Were they living on ice where nothing grew?  Were their asses being
chased too frequently to stop and smell the roses?  Did they decide
to walk upright?  Were they domesticated by ET and observed how to
behave as a society?



#34 of 70 by walkman on Sat Feb 19 01:09:03 2022:

#33 That's what I'm saying. 

If we extended the "humans were always great builders of civilizations",
 we could then go down some roads. One road that you cited is 
flood/ice/uninhabitable earth. With that we can say that humans may have
 had a limited ability to convene and learn from each other to evolve 
their civilization.

There's another intriguing road: great civilizations have come and gone 
but were lost. Spooky and cool. Did they escape earth with rocket ships 
and evolve elsewhere? Are *they* the aliens visiting earth? Or did they 
just die out and or were their cities now under water? So many 
questions. Were they more or less advanced than we are? Did they have 
intriguing customs, languages, myths, inventions, etc?

What we do know is that we find ancient homo sapiens buried with simple 
tools and that there is cave art, which by the way experts claim the 
oldest is 35,400 years old. What were the ancient men portraying? 
FUCKING ALIENS. Space ships, aliens, weird shit and of course, animals 
and hand prints.

#40 Those entities depicted were NOT Chinese. Ears, nose, eyes very 
different. Humans don't have giant wrap around eyes...

The way they were depicted, the scale of the depictions...only to 
deliberately bury them and set them on fire...those people were deathly 
afraid of the "gods". 3,000 years ago. Just incredible. And yeah, that 
wheel. Out of context it could represent anything but given the context 
of those entities, it seems pretty obvious to me. 
It really could be a sun wheel but it could also be a mag wheel from a 
Olds 442. When we step back and look at artwork from the Sumerians, to 
the Greeks, Romans, Mayans, Persians and so on we see flying discs. 

The Zoroastrian god Ahura Mazda wasn't the only one depicted with wings 
and a round disc juxtapositioned. The Mayans put their gods in space 
ships! 

Oh - did you notice some of the 3,000 year old art work from China had a
 very strong resemblance to the Mayan art? 


#42 of 70 by tod on Mon Feb 28 17:49:51 2022:

Thor Heyerdahl would be proud of all this.  And yes, I agree.
Zorastrians temple has a big fire in its center.  I know a few and
they have a house they've turned into a temple.  It's pretty interesting
stuff.  What's even more fascinating is that Iranians consider Mazda
a national symbol and wear the necklace but if you get down to it most
of them are Muslim...the majority of Zorastrians are Parsi (Not Farsi)
and came to Iran many centuries ago from India.
Old civilizations...

Here's a good one. Why is the Book of Enoch (great-grandfather of Noah) 
rejected by Jews and Christians? It's central to many biblical stories, 
yet non-cannon.
I would think that fallen angels, giants, "the watchers" and UFO's would
 be good reading! (sarcasm) Many of these ideas are making Disney (under
 Marvel) hundreds of millions of dollars.

This Japanese Sega arcade game from 1985 called, "I'm Sorry" features 3 
bad guys: A CIA "man in black", O.J. Simpson, and Michael Jackson.

Ha ha ha ha yes indeed
I remember the arcade strategically located next to the High School had 
a slice of pizza and a coke for $1. That's almost unimaginable now. And 
so many quarters in the Star Wars, Pac-Man, Tron, Crystal Castles, 
Mappy, Q*Bert... all the burnouts playing Stargate/Defender. I would die
 almost instantly with that game. I ended up owning that cabinet
(someone  *gave* it to me around 2000 if you can believe it). I'm pretty
ace at  that game now. (pretty sad really) LOL

For some strange reason, my brain just jumped to those Russian clones of
 the British ZX Spectrum. I wonder how video games were played in Soviet
 territory. Maybe one day I'll visit the "Museum of Soviet Arcade
Games"? https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Museum_of_Soviet_Arcade_Machines

My brain just jumped again to bootleg VCR players in North Korea and 
episodes of "Friends" being smuggled in. See, Americans don't really eat
 their babies. They eat take-out Chinese food and drink expensive
coffee.

If you ever wanted to load a Commodore Vic 20 cartridge image from a 
floppy disk on a real machine, I wrote a guide on how to do this:
https://distantdark.com/2022/02/06/commodore-vic-20-2-rom-cartridge-
files-launch-from-a-d64-image/

It's actually a really difficult problem because most of the cartridges 
are split images and the images are assigned to different memory blocks.
These games should be preserved and so far, it's quite difficult to play
 them, even with emulators. With this method, you can create a disk
image  with the rom images and run them on either a real machine or an 
emulator.

There were many more interesting Vic 20 games than even I was aware of, 
especially those created by Sierra.

Reminds me of some of the Dutch guys in the 90's who were churning
out techno on their Amigas


#54 of 70 by walkman on Mon Apr 4 12:54:22 2022:

When I think about how advanced the Amiga was when it came out (1985) - 
so much more advanced than the PC or Mac, it's almost astounding that it
 was left behind. It had higher resolution, color (!), incredible 
software & sound capabilities and expand-ability (like RAM).  People
like to glamorize the Mac's impact on history while ignoring the  Amiga
as if it never existed. It's really interesting and sad.

It's like that with all Apple products. People like to say that Steve 
Jobs invented the smartphone. The obvious reality is that he was just a 
CEO and didn't invent anything. But beyond that, there were smartphones 
on the market years before the iPhone came out. What did a 2007 iPhone 
do that a pre-existing Blackberry or Palm Phone not do? 

This is all cult territory. The establishment and the left cult used to 
be separate entities. Now they are merged together. The left cult and 
the establishment loves to LOVE anything apple and apparently they can 
write and rewrite history.

I remember making phone calls over GPRS with a blackberry in 2003.  You
had to plug your earbuds into the blackberry because it didn't have a
mic and speakers - they were intended to be the evolution after the
smart pager - not the evolution after the Nokia cell phone.
When all of NYC CDMA was jammed and out of service, you could do direct
comms to other Blackberries over GPRS.  
iPhone?  Mac?  Most folks had to be above a certain income to attain
Apple products.

Buscemi and the lipstick....I dunno man....

Wernher claimed in 1975 that the Moon would have a baby born on it by
Y2k and that 2 ships would be build in Earth's orbit using shuttles
for a Mars expedition.  There is a 16mile high volcano on Mars and
a canyon the size of Miami to Seattle where ET could live.

There are several camps on moon conspiracy theories. One that I know of 
believes there's a mature space force that has been developing moon 
bases for many years. They likely believe there are many, many babies 
born there all the time. 

Others believe man never crossed the Van Allen radiation belt aka never 
landed on the moon.

Some say there's a portal on earth where people travel from the earth to
 a moon base instantly. There are some that claim to be part of this 
program. It's ridiculous to me but anything's possible I suppose. When I
 hear "portholes" or "wormholes" or "vortexes" on earth, I cringe. 

Oh and there are others who think the Nazi's had a moonbase. As if. 


#61 of 70 by tod on Sun Apr 24 05:09:55 2022:

Hermann Goering's butt was the moon base.

It's possible man hasn't crossed the Van Allen radiation belt.
It would make Malcovich's portrayal of Kubrick that much more
zany.


#62 of 70 by walkman on Sun Apr 24 18:52:59 2022:

#61 Yeah, that's the one that I could subscribe to "van allen belt" aka 
they circled around the earth, and then landed. I don't want to be a 
moon nutter but there are too many questions and contradictions. When I 
was a kid I wondered, "how did they have enough fuel in that small 
capsule to leave the moon and return to earth" and also, "how did they 
pack all of their equipment into that tiny capsule?". 
It's just "one of those things" that I try to just play along with 
because I don't want to admit even to myself that the whole thing 
doesn't pass the smell test. There are things that to this day seem 
absurd to me, like the moon buggy "lunar roving vehicle" being necessary
 or plausible.  Aside from all of that, there are the infamous
air-brushed moon-walk  photos and other interesting tidbits (no stars in
the photos) that  require skepticism. I value skepticism even when
things seem to be  airtight.

"4 I looked, and I saw a windstorm coming out of the north an immense 
cloud with flashing lightning and surrounded by brilliant light. The 
center of the fire looked like glowing metal, 5 and in the fire was what
 looked like four living creatures. In appearance their form was human,
6  but each of them had four faces and four wings. 7 Their legs were 
straight; their feet were like those of a calf and gleamed like 
burnished bronze. 8 Under their wings on their four sides they had human
 hands. All four of them had faces and wings, 9 and the wings of one 
touched the wings of another. Each one went straight ahead; they did not
 turn as they moved.    Ezekiel 1

 15 As I looked at the living creatures, I saw a wheel on the ground 
beside each creature with its four faces. 16 This was the appearance and
 structure of the wheels: They sparkled like topaz, and all four looked 
alike. Each appeared to be made like a wheel intersecting a wheel. 17 As
 they moved, they would go in any one of the four directions the 
creatures faced; the wheels did not change direction as the creatures 
went. 18 Their rims were high and awesome, and all four rims were full 
of eyes all around  22 Spread out above the heads of the living 
creatures was what looked something like a vault, sparkling like 
crystal, and awesome.    Ezekiel 1

The bible is loaded with UFO accounts. Ezekiel's description above was 
pretty remarkable but even more startling were the accounts of both 
Enoch and Elijah being abducted by UFOs. 
UFOs were described as flying scrolls:
Zechariah 5:1
I looked again, and there before me was a flying scroll.

Zechariah 5:2
He asked me,  What do you see?  I answered,  I see a flying scroll, 
twenty cubits long and ten cubits wide. 

Many more accounts of UFOs described as pillars of fire and pillars of 
clouds. Also described as moving stars... I find all of this incredible.
