Peace & Markets: Slip-Sliding Away. Self-Auditing & DWOTL

Stand by for one of the greatest marketing collisions in history. Because today we’re serving up a rare mix of menace, amusement, and method.

Before we high board into dueling fairy talks, some mood-setting from Paul Simon, shall we? Paul Simon – Slip Slidin’ Away (Official Audio).

That’s because In new escalation, US to blockade Strait of Hormuz after failed Iran talks. A good place to swing a pick here in the Reality Mine.

Ray Tracks the Fan Club

Long-time reader Ray shared a Benny Johnson X post (here) that said – in part:

Trump Just Pulled Off The Biggest Power Move in Global Economic History…

Iran played their last card. Then Trump hit ‘em with the Uno Reverse. Now the deck is reshuffling entirely.

Energy will never flow the same way again.

With Venezuela’s vast oil reserves under U.S. control and now the blockade of the Strait of Hormuz, America now oversees the global oil supply.

Countries that want oil must buy from America. This is the Gulf of America, packed with supertankers racing to load up on US oil.

Hardest hit? China, who just lost their number 1 and 2 oil exporters in a matter of weeks.

The problem with the USA forming, what amounts to a “One Man Cartel” (with a strong military), is that Europe will be pissed, as will China, India, Asia (and others) where there are already gas lines.  And the fuse is still burning in Tehran whence more “shit’s-a-coming.”

All the “oil control” doesn’t dial back a thousand years of “hate control” which is baked in the religiosity cake and remains the behind-the-scenes driver. Initially, it will seem to be a cockle burr in the socks. But, as we have been warning on the subscriber side (“Run for the lifeboats, vests on the kids!”) the odds of, oh, now through the end of the month kissing a 15-20 percent lower is, um…running hot.

Israel still wants to wipe out “the Persians.” And the Persians have an anti-plan of their own to wipe out “the Jews.” I might write whimsically that it “should be fun to watch” – but it won’t be.

Europe is already down. Gold and silver, too.  S&P futures were down more than 40 points and the Dow inching toward -300.

If we hold those kind of levels into today’s close? That’d be the Optimist’s case.

Freedom in Retreat

Ray also snagged a second dandy on X: LHGrey™? on X: “Every fucking American better sit the fuck down and pay attention, because the globalist communists just delivered a masterclass in subversion…and the last pure holdout in Europe has fallen. Today. Right now. Hungary…Viktor Orbán’s fortress of sovereignty, the final bastion  was being taken down.

BTW – Just so you know: We looked – but didn’t find – LHGrey as a wordmark in the USPTO TESS database. Error on our part? Or do people not remember it’s illegal to use “TM” or the circled “R” unless actually issued? See, this is the kind of “Live free but color inside the lines” that scare us.  And yes, Peoplenomics is a real wordmark… we avoid legal train wrecks when possible.) Details – particularly when lawyers are involved –  matter a great deal in late-stage collapse.

Now Let’s Play “Dot-Connector”

We assume down in your digital noise floor you have become aware of the Missing/Dead Scientists stories?  This is something that has been coming in waves and over time. Now comes a theory that this may have a lot  more to do with the primacy of oil than most people realize.

A nod to Capt. Gooding for finding this story in his well-trained digital wanderings: The Pattern Nobody Wants to Talk About

This is 24-karat material because it’s a systematic look.  We love systems thinking – especially when it begins to encapsulate “The Fringe.”  This will take a sec, so follow closely.

What if Free Energy is Real?

Suppose for a moment that you had sole control of a life-changing new technology – free energy – that would revolutionize the whole planet?

The obvious problem is you would need to pare down the global population in order to get Earth back under its sustainability threshold.

I have already laid out the economic path in my book Downsizing: Missing the Collapse of Empire.

But what happens if Free Energy – tapping Zero Point – is a real deal?

Let’s noodle this out: If you were in control of such a technology, how would you manage it? Do you turn over Free Energy to a GlobalPop that is already pressing on 9-billion?  In gas lines and questioning food, running out of resources…

Or, would you whack several billion out of the “population pinata” by trying a different approach?

That would make sense, of course.  But then comes the problem: what FORM of “population Ozempic” would you reach for?

This becomes very much a four-dimensional chess game.  (Fourth dimension being time)  Run by the UGC’s (Ultimate Global Controllers) who are reported to be an “action arm” of off-planet species, (including reptilians).  Played slowly enough, most people will miss it completely!

Damn shame “History” isn’t marketed for what it is: Environmental Collisions of Randomness and Off-Planet Influences…” Bet schools would fill up, right?

COVID, seen in this kind of context, could have been a test case. That “depop test case” is still the “death that keeps on giving” if you saw Study links COVID-19 infection to increased lung cancer risk.

Shorter lifespans, due to resource limitations in a post-nuclear exchange world is an alternate approach, making nukes another endpoint to consider.

As I argue in Downsizing, the “cleaner” play is just blow up the global economy/globalism model. Depressions are slow and reliable. Like famine but with more activity making steerage easier.

Nukes Work for Reptiles

Off the high board: You know a great many UFO/abduction stories prominently mention reptiles, right?  Follow this next bit of data closely because IF (a big one) even a very few of those reptilian reports are valid, there are some startling implications.

Suppose you (a reptilian) were planning to “exfoliate the world” before dropping in “free energy.” Wouldn’t a short global nuclear war be useful – since reptilians are more resistant to radiation after-effects?

“Hold up, Ure – that’s CRAZY!”

No, that’s science.

The most common way to compare radiation resistance is the LD50/30 value — the radiation dose (in Gray or rad) that kills 50% of a population within 30 days. Now for Humans, that’s generally 3–5 Gy (often cited around 4–4.5 Gy).

On the other hand, for a typical reptile (tortoise) you’re up in the 15+ Gy range.  Some research highlights the Middle Asian tortoise as one of the most radioresistant animals with LD50/30 around 500 Gy (this seems exceptionally high and may reflect extreme conditions like hibernation/low metabolism or possible reporting variation; most consistent vertebrate data points to lower but still impressive figures.

Alligators typically run 10 Gy, so about twice as radiation-resistant as we knuckle-dragging apes.

Systems Thinking is Inherently Open

In Mind Amplifiers, I admit to being a serious Domain Walker.  With that comes admitting to all possibilities of Reality. Including the one that not all reptilian claims in the “alien space and abductions” sphere may be wrong. That’s when news analysis went another (very interesting) level deeper.  It only surfaces (thankfully!) when stories like Chernobyl (or the pending analog in Ukraine) roll by:

In places like Chernobyl, in the aftermath, some animals (including small mammals and birds) show adaptations like higher antioxidants to cope with chronic low-level radiation. Reptiles aren’t as well-studied there, but their baseline physiology suggests they’d fare at least as well or better than mammals under acute high-dose scenarios.

Now, back up to our “free energy” roll-out problem: world exfoliation as a low probability (yet still not ruled-out possibility) by “reptilian influencers.” And whether George gets his economic Downsizing as the preferred die-back path to planetary to carrying capacity.

Things that make you go “Hmm…” huh?

Somewhere in here, you begin to test-fit the rising “social movements” as “population pinata” filler.

That the whole gay/lesbian movement which (definitionally) does not procreate with “replacement eaters” as outcomes.  Instead, you transition to “recreational sex” with no child support back-end. So, COVID works, nukes are dirty, and rec-sex only is a slower long-term play.

Oh boy… hand me the shovel, we gotta cover up this rabbit hole. I could dig here all day.

So, How About Them Headlines?

What do you mean “Which ones?”

Sure you saw where Eric Swalwell suspends California governor campaign following sexual assault allegations.  Hold up your hand, if you care?

This on the other hand: Cutting down on common habit linked to reduced dementia risk | Glasgow Live. Spoiler alert: booze.

And one for what we call “the pre-nup mysteries.”  I need to explain that as a domain-walker, systems-thinker it’s always the “hidden variables” that we wonder about.  Take now, this story wandering by: Lauren Sánchez, 56, claims she’s ready to ‘have a baby tomorrow’ with husband Jeff Bezos. Now you can likely understand why this gets slotted into “the pre-nup mysteries” file.  Because that dear reader, is probably where the big hidden variable to the future of this story may be found.

Around the Ranch: DWOTL Meets WRGD

(If you thought this morning’s column was strange so far, stick around…)

Being smart, and living on Earth is a bitch.  The speed is too slow.  Not enough time to actualize it all.  So, we fall into booze, drugs, sloth, and circular activity. Because we all know – down deep inside – that we have more than enough horsepower to change course.  When you’re on a Prison Planet does it matter?

Yes, Actually.

The game always has a finishing line so as long as we’re here, we play the game.

What helps is organizational skills which no one is teaching in K-12 – when it would have time to sink in and really help – just like “mental picturing” (as a path toward semi-eidetic [photographic memory] development) isn’t taught, either.

Which gets us to our topic here.

DWOTL/WRGD

“Do What’s On The List!”  and then audit that against the time log. Which is the “What Really Got Done” report.

As a compulsive self-organizer, here’s my Sunday review from “Audit and Orient Time” this morning.

The middle column (the Day Plan) only saw 3 items marked with green “complete” flags.  The right column is what I actually did all day. That list scrolls down a fair distance.

The whole point for Mr. ADHD?  See the gfap between WRGD and what the Day PLan had called for?  OK, some things – like stair reconstruction – are excurable due to thunderstorms and heavy rain.  But failure to get the water tanks changed?  Come one, dude!

Mao’s criticism- self criticism – lurks in pre-dawn sobriety.

Self-Auditing

I wanted to share – since today is on systems thinking – that self-auditing will come with the territory.

My self-audit process is not original — not by a country mile. L. Ron Hubbard was already deep into this idea back when he founded Scientology in the early 1950s. In fact, he made “auditing” the central practice of the whole system. In Scientology, auditing is a structured, one-on-one session where a trained auditor asks a precise series of questions to help the person (called the preclear) locate and clear out past traumas, emotional pain, and mental blocks stored in the mind. The goal is simple: get rid of the spiritual baggage so you can operate at a much higher level of awareness and ability.

But the audit notion shows up everywhere once you go looking for it. We’re not just talking about bartenders who’ve been informally auditing customers for generations, quietly listening while people unload their troubles across the bar. The same impulse lives in the Catholic confessional, where people sit down, examine their conscience, confess their failings, and walk out with a clean slate. It’s right at the heart of Judaism’s Day of Atonement — Yom Kippur — a full day dedicated to rigorous self-examination, repentance, and making things right with God and others.

You can even see a secular, no-frills version of it in the relentless workaholism and self-accountability that runs deep in many families with migrated Northern European roots. That constant internal pressure to improve, achieve, keep score, and push harder — the unspoken “family Olympics” of productivity, discipline, and moral standing — is basically an everyday life audit in disguise.

That’s exactly why I carve out time every single morning to run my own self-audit before I even touch today’s planning list.

I suppose that’s enough to finish a second cup.  I have to go now; it’s time to sort out what won’t get done today, next…

“Alexa, set a reminder for New Home sales at 10 AM – wake me if necessary.”

    • tbs:”? How safe do US Refinery’s look to the well trained eye ????”
      About 30 years ago I taught an introduction to industrial security course that included a section on terrorism. One of the supplementary texts was “Brittle Power: Energy Strategy for National Security” (1982), written by Amory and Hunter Lovins. At that point it looked like a few RPGs well-placed in the southern USA could put much of the USA in the dark for several months, no EMP needed. A student wrote a term paper on nuclear plant vulnerabilities that was equally discomforting. And that was all before cargo drones.

      • Oh MarcR… For more than fifty years I’ve been pointing out the same thing… our energy system is built backward. When I first learned about solar panels, they were over ten dollars a watt and when i put up my first set I paid that price for the first eighteen panels I installed. Even then, it was obvious that a distributed model made more sense. what surprised me..was I anticipated a ten year payback..instead it paid for itself in five..

        Instead of relying on massive centralized plants like we currently do, we could build smaller one? or two?megawatt solar towers at every substation.. pair them with widespread grid?tie systems. Each home or business becomes a node in a larger, resilient network. The cost of deploying these distributed systems across an entire state would be less than building a single three?megawatt wind turbine, and the total generation potential would be far greater.

        More importantly, a decentralized grid would be dramatically more secure during catastrophic . Instead we’ve stayed locked into a centralized model because it preserves control and funnels profits to a small group of stakeholders. As long as the business structure prioritizes those interests, our energy grid will remain vulnerable and our national security compromised — all to maintain the existing profit hierarchy.
        one look at china..they seen this and have been aggressively putting generation plants across their country..building ghost cities and industrial plants in the event something happe..joust step on over..
        for years I worked multiple jobs..always one extra in the event there was an event or cutback..that way I just increase hours at the other..employers are more skeptical of hiring someone without a job..
        it always about the business model..

  3. Great article as usual George!
    It is to bad that many don’t have your understanding of how the world works and the twisted deception of the story books that most are taught with to “CONTROL” the masses. LOL
    You get it and what WOULD happen IF the world’s pop started to see the truth? HMMM
    I hadn’t given the thought to reptilians ability to handle the nuke fall out, that I should have and somehow missed thinking about that one. Another thought as to how much more advanced they are maybe they also have a better way or some way to clean up a nuke mess ?
    Free energy ? yup! the covered up evidence is there and those whom discovered it in it’s many forms are all dead.
    Keep on trucking with the truth!

    • Being reptiles, the notion of nuclear winter would have us all thinking the reppies would stop in their trax but if you have unlimited energy? Hell no – turn up the shake and bakE

  4. G.A. STEWART: The Jeffrey Epstein Global Elite are planning genocide. Donald J. Trump let that slip through after his Easter rant; so, applying my principle of “Continuity of Thought”, naturally that meant any talk of any ceasefires in the Iran war is all bullshit. This is heading towards Global Nuclear War, and all of it is following the outline that I first published in a book in 2007 and on this website on December 10th, 2007.

    Let me start with the most obvious successful prediction in my books…

    • One question many of us were asked 5 years ago before coming to the table.
      Are you Vaxxed JC?

    • Stu: Your Timeline posts look like a long read. I hope I have time before comm’s get even more iffy. All of my comm’s have been getting increasingly squirrelly over the weekend and this morning. If you were to package this post series and charge $10 or so for the single PDF, I would go for it. It might be one of those things I want to print out a hard copy of for reference if I am still around in 2036.

      • The book has so much more that is important. Erdogan threatened Israel today, and his participation with NATO has a short lifespan. We may see that shortly.

        Thanks for the idea, but it may just be too late. There is no way China and Russia will obey Trump’s blockade.

        • Its the poison pawn trap..or the ali Rope a dope move..
          either way we lose..we lose economically one way..giving brics the petrol dollar the other way we lose ..if we proceed there’s to possibility we will be thrust back to the stone age..if we retreat we admit this is a multi polar world..
          will vanity and narcissism keep us on the path..whether its our administration or the real puppeteers behind the scene pulling the strings..its hard giving up a few thousand years of control over the planet..

    • Ure becoming very accurate in Ure prognastications. Here is where we all be, good luck to most.

      Whole global “house of cards” gets toppled now. We be in it now..In other words, The World has entered TheWilderness.

      Read of the Week – short story Ray Bradbury – “There Will Come Soft Rains” written many moons ago, story takes place in 2026.

      Not a prediction, not even a suggestion, do Ure own home work.

  5. I spent an afternoon driving around rural Bucks County Pennsylvania as a teen looking for Paul Simon. My friend heard that he was staying for the month in someone’s cabin. Many many years later I went to a “tea” at the home of a friend of my mother. It turns out that the friend had offered her cabin to Paul Simon that summer and I saw where he stayed. Thanks for the memory.

    Supposedly the Grey’s state that there will be “An Event” and everyone will be happy afterwards. During the event people who have been abducted state that they will stand in street intersections and tell panicked people to “Go that way. Get on the ship to be safe.” I have always assumed that the people who get on the ships will mostly be dumped in the ocean.

      • That episode sticks in my memory like a tattoo on skin. In the same vein, I just watched “Bugonia” on a FL-CA flight. Good picture, superb acting by Stone. The aliens might not be friendly. Would euthanizing a dysfunctional species be a moral or immoral act? I guess it depends on one’s perspective.

        Would the air force comply if given the order to “nuke ’em”? Lots of questions for “Enquiring Minds Want to Know” (National Enquirer, ca. 1980)

  8. Great info in the referenced post by Ray! It correlates with the mysterious deaths of life scientists in the 2010’s, as elaborated on by Steve Quayle at the time. Little did most of us know of the coming covid plandemic, or its amazing JIT “vaccines” for all. We still don’t really know what was in those “vaccines” or their primary and ultimate purposes. Now we have energy scientists dying or disappearing from various hubs of energy science activity! Conspiracy “theories” can mislead, but are often only a few months behind acceptance by the mainstream. We’ll see. Meanwhile we have a constructed energy shortage worldwide with escalating wars, and even locally, both fuels and electricity costs have risen by around 25%! Some of us can deal with it reluctantly, others may be crushed down to a far lower standard of living. Either way, it’s a sad commentary on the current governmental structures worldwide, and their view of most humans as less than farm animals.

    • Not me (because I don’t wish to stress the obvious.)

      However, notice there seems to be a truly odd and coincidental round of “gone missing” or “died-off” about every 10 years or so, amongst a narrow scientific or professional field. Before the life-scientists was the financiers (remember the guy who committed suicide by shooting himself in the head, nine times, with a nail gun and the one in the UK who leapt {either 27 or 37 storeys — can’t remember/not important} to death off a building with “suicide-proof” windows? LOOB or I occasionally mention one or t’other.) I can’t remember what they were in the ’90s — ISTM either EEs or Nukers.

      It’s almost like some entity unknown is doing periodic staffing upgrades…

    Also worth a dive is – `https://thesentinel.network/p/the-long-count-we-started-with-two` – its the start of a long thread about missing/dead researchers & scientists that seem to be related. They do show their work, so there would appear to be some plausibility…

  12. re: “The Empire Strikes Back”, 1980
    feat: The Sport of Kings

    Oil ‘s well! Only a week ago all were treated to smoking images of half pipe Olympic gold medalist Eileen Lu. She posted from a Montana resort ski lift chair bracketed by polo player spare Prince Harry as well as former Canadian PM Justin Trudeau.

    Over this past weekend, the latter’s in bloom girlfriend Katy Perry uploaded images of the pair from the Coachella Music Festival. Her red-eyed beau is pictured tackling a small order of noodles which the “Delish” website informs are an eye-watering $23 this year. While attending entertainer Justin Bieber’s set, the unemployed former politician is seen sporting a reversed baseball cap featuring a red-threaded logo of some indistinct pupal stage.

    The Coachella Festival is staged at the 1,000 acre Empire Polo Club. Its grounds are leased during the festival to the world’s second largest entertainment group entity based in LA. It in turn is a subsidiary of a privately held holding company headquartered in Denver. A paternal grandfather of its ethnic German founder emigrated from Tsarist Russia and opened a bank in Kansas. The modern day Denver parent company founder is allegedly the 130th wealthiest person in the world as of a year ago according to “Forbes”. He also owns the NHL’s Los Angeles Kings team. Apparently he first struck it rich as an oil wildcatter in Montana.

    Meanwhile, past Kentucky Oaks for fillies companion race attendee President Trump made his signature grand entrance in Miami on Saturday night at (“There are no rules. The show must go on.”) UFC 327 with the US Secretary of State and UFC Ceo Dana White. According to “The Spun” website, #47 made an unexpected Presidential Inquiry concerning a fighter missing in action from the upcoming White House card. Just like that, Mr. White allegedly picked up the phone, roared like a Leo, and that fighter is now on the card.

    The Easter Bunny’s Egg Roll of a week ago will be but a distant memory when UFC Freedom 250 splashes down on the White House South Lawn this coming June 14th. Stockpile popcorn! But remember: don’t hoard, sharing is caring!

      • re: King of “Salem’s (heb:’peace’) Lot”, 2024
        feat: Bilderberg (ger:’Goat Mountain’) Group

        While #47 and the Secretary of State delivered one-two punches on the weekend from the Kaseya Center in Miami at UFC 327, Hormuz Minecraft videogame afficionados observed as the U.S. Vice-President landed at farflung Islamabad in a perhaps diversionary search for cloaked peaceful progression game mods. Therefore it might appear that the Kaseya Center can now ramp up quietly for its month end drop-in appearance by Florence and the Machine. Her band is in the midst of their North American leg of their “Everybody Scream Tour”.

        With the important people absent from Washington, D.C. over the weekend to distract the madding crowd, the Bilderberg Group enjoyed a peaceful confab within the confines of the Salamander Hotel formerly known as the Mandarin Oriental. According to ChatGPT, the luxurious venue’s change of name in 2022 colours to coincide by chance with the tragic shooting of an alleged paedophile in Room 853 by his outraged spouse.

        In a nod to the digital world, Bilderburg Group now offers a press release page on its own website outlining names of some attendees to the 2026 gathering at the following link:

        https://www.bilderbergmeetings.org/meetings/meeting-2026/participants-2026

        Amongst the number, one may recognize many including a Wikipedia “notable person” of a Salem, Mo. Congressman locale. As chance would have it, public service agent J. Smith is also the chair of the House Ways and Means Committee.

  13. “Countries that want oil must buy from America. ”

    That’s one speculation and another reason why you need the poll widget. In a few days the deck will re-reshuffle and the speculation goes to vapor, Vaporposts? The same thing happens w/Nostradamus TEOTWAWKI posts. The Great Collapse was to happen last March – your pick of the last Marches – Vaporposted.

    Ray could be right but it’s more likely in desperation Trump.gov is attempting to prevent Iran from retooling the Arsenal of Ayatollah! Little Iran has disgraced the paper tiger by simple survival. Not to mention Iran doesn’t have a leader, Is Iran being lead by terrorists and Trump.gov negotiating with these terrorists?

    ‘ We do not negotiate with terrorists’,

    With an American oil monopoly will the national debt plateau and begin to fall do to the new oil wealth? As the $s are repatriated will the general price level sky rocket or with no more need for fresh debt will deflation come? Will gold in terms of $s free fall? Will Trump.gov buy Greenland with all the extra cash?

    Stay tuned. More posts are coming.

    • Think Flutterby’s ..those colorful Insects that seem to float and drift more than actually fly. Usually seen around Flowers & Blossoms, they are excellent Pollinators.

      Got It ? Butterfly’s that is, cause one lil flap of a Butterflys wing back in March was surely a spark that lit off current Donnybrook in the ME.

  14. Two Eyes are out:

    – Australia won’t join US blockade in Strait of Hormuz
    – UK will ‘not be involved’ in Donald Trump’s blockade of Strait of Hormuz

    That leaves Canada and New Zealand unless they go.

  15. China already gets 20% of it’s oil on a pipeline from Russia, and has 2 other import pipelines, the PetrolDollar will be no more:

  16. if your happy and you know it clap your hands . yep everything we was taught is here .. watch the airlines next . huge changes there

  17. A Chinese news outlet announced, quietly yesterday, that they are currently loading a freighter with weapons – bound for Iran.

    Trump vows to block, or attack any and all ships bound for Iranian ports.

    When a U.S. destroyer comes bow-to-bow with the Chinese freighter?

    “Stay Frosty !”

  18. couple of things on that melania . do you think that prez donny met her on mossad island . she could have worked there in catering . and if god prez donny gets impeached, where does it leave her ? like throw the book at her or she can run the new nightclub in the white house ?

    • len, one of your Ausi Shelias just tried to molest me in the hotel lobby after stumbling out the bar. hot blonde, mid 30s. very nice legs.

      i went down to the hotel lobby to get a few bottles of water and she stumbled out of the bar and looked me and i think she called me a “Hunk of spunk.” hahahaa. or something like that. hahahaha

      i laughed. she introduced herself. i said thank you. i smiled told her my name is len. len daquino. then i said i good night. i have to get to sleep.

      she said ohhhh myyyy you are american too? take me with you.

      i laughed and said, if i took you with me, i dont think I’d get much sleep. Good Night. see ya around.

      she said Good Night Len. see ya around.

      hahahahahaha.

  19. Maybe it is about the death of the petrodollar? We need to see a real USD that hasn’t been around since 1913. No more FRNs. A natural passing.
    Possible?
    Stiks

    • A real dollar ??

      WTF Youse talkin bout, Willis?

      You been licking Cane Toads again ?

      How bout some G Wampum, Ure Beads, Ure Shells and a couple of pretty rocks ?

  20. just your typical wash and rinse stock trading Monday ….. gloom and doom selloff, following by yet another reversal Monday … yawn yawn ….. congrats team Bessent and them insider teams …. for another (of many) well done plays ………… good luck all

  21. Whites of eyes in Iran…loaded for bear…. Israeli’s so think. So level playing field…. BRICS a concern..China says Isreal dead.

  22. Lots of your commenters cheering what they hope is the down fall of the USA. What they don’t seem to understand is they are going down also if their fables come true. Even the people down under won’t survive either. Keep cheering.

  23. First they come for them then they come for you. Clinton negotiate well. Then 9/11. Being broke is like break dancing. Carefully done

  26. Good morning George, since we are on the same day for now. Current time in East Texas 3am. Tuesday, April 14th The Year of our Lord, 2026. Current time in Suva Fiji 8pm Tuesday, April 14th The Year of our Lord, 2026. so we are on the same page.

    All the while Trump is dominating the world Oil industry, I am on a ship far away from the US. for a reason, THE DUDE put me here. after mowing my lawn on day. I mowed the lawn, two weeks later I am on a ship in Suva Fiji.

    and plot thickens, there is a shit load of J.A.S.O.N Scientists getting on board with me tomorrow. Interesting. I only thought they were a myth or a Rumer. For those who don’t know who J.A.S.O.N scientists are? You can research that Ureself. They have really high security clearances.

    I was told by one of them, because this is only supposed to be a 40 day cruise for me, don’t count on it. We might be out to sea 3 months. You probably will get extended. They are doing a robotic survey of The Mariana Trench with robotic subs and A.I.

    The final destination is Tokyo in roughly 90 days. This ship is relocating to Tokyo.

    and for some reason, THE DUDE placed me on this ship with a bunch of scientists. working in the engine room. lol I more of a spiritual fella than a scientist. Bending the laws of reality is kind of my thing. Participating in the miraculous stuff.

    Should be a grand adventure. One for the Books. Since I am always doing out of the norm stuff. I am sure a few surprises along the way.

    One of the J.A.S.O.N scientists, a female, red head, runs the Remote for one of the robot subs said to me, you sure look familiar. Have we met before? and I said no, but I get that lot. Then I started talking about my Girlfriend and she excused herself shortly after. hahahahah One of the other fellas said, you shot her down fast. I laughed and said, I didn’t notice she was flirting until she promptly left. He said she was staring at you the entire time she was in the Hotel Lobby. Just gawking at you.

    I said Well, I am actually madly in love with the one I am with. I didn’t come here for that. hahaha.

    So, apparently Ginger has showed up *the hot red head scientist, and the Professor, haven’t seen Mary Ann yet. but that doesn’t mean she won’t be aboard. The Skipper and Gilligan too. and my 40 days at sea, is already getting seeded into a 90 day adventure with a bunch of Poindexter’s. with Robot subs and A.I.

    after flying here with Noah.

    all aboard with me, that weird dude who occasionally comments on urban survival.

    THE DUDE is so funny. you can’t even make this shit up. hahaha

    All this after mowing my lawn because it was the only thing I hadn’t done that day.

    Well, I will check in when the adventure is over.

    Until Then,

    I Win with God within.

    • For those who don’t already know this stuff (AND it isn’t widely known…):
      JASON scientists, often simply called “the Jasons,” are an elite, independent advisory group of roughly 40–60 top-tier American scientists who provide candid, high-level technical advice to the U.S. government on complex matters of science and technology—particularly those involving national security and defense. Founded in 1960 in the wake of the Sputnik launch, the group was created to bring fresh, brilliant minds (mostly physicists at first) into government service without the constraints of full-time bureaucracy. Members—many of them Nobel laureates, National Academy of Sciences members, and leading academics in fields like physics, biology, computer science, chemistry, and mathematics—are self-selected and typically spend only a few weeks each summer on intensive studies while maintaining their university or research careers. This structure gives them unusual independence and freedom to deliver unvarnished assessments that agencies might not get from internal teams.
      The kinds of things they focus on have evolved over time but remain heavily weighted toward high-stakes, often classified challenges. Early work centered on nuclear weapons, missile defense, and Cold War military technologies (they famously contributed to the concept behind the Vietnam-era McNamara Line). Today, their studies cover a wide range: nuclear stockpile stewardship, cyberwarfare and cybersecurity of critical infrastructure, artificial intelligence and its national security implications, biodefense and genome-related technologies, climate modeling and renewable energy strategies for the Department of Defense, advanced computing (including exascale systems), electronic warfare, and emerging threats like foreign influence in research or anomalous health incidents. About half of their reports are eventually declassified, touching on everything from health informatics and biodetection to reducing the military’s carbon footprint. In short, the Jasons tackle the hardest, most technically demanding questions where science intersects with strategy, risk, and long-term national security.
      Biw, the fact that we have a reliable source aboard, the real question is: What’s going on with the Trench?
      Three possibles are always on that radar:
      1. Because the north pole has been varying more than usual, one could become concerned about a magnetic pole flip./ We are mindful that a magnetic flip is not the same as a crustal flip (the sort which Hapgood etc soft-link to global cataclysms) But it’s possible that deep wall samples (bottom of trench) could give hints as to chronology of mag vs. crustal.
      2. Second thing is the possibility of deep undersea alien bases. Is there a big one down there? They are NOT close , though: The straight-line distance from the center of the Devil’s Sea (~25°N 137°E) to the Challenger Deep is roughly 1,550–1,700 km (about 960–1,060 miles).
      The closest edges of the two areas are still around 1,200–1,400 km apart (roughly 750–870 miles), depending on how broadly you define the triangle’s boundaries.
      3. HOWEVER don’t take the UAP-Source hunt in the Marianas’ hood off your list – yet. There are persistent rumors and conspiracy theories claiming that alien underwater bases (or bases used by non-human intelligences) exist in or near the Marianas Trench area, particularly around the Challenger Deep.
      Main Claims Circulating

      In late 2025, U.S. Congressman Tim Burchett (R-TN) publicly stated in interviews that Navy officials had briefed him on Unidentified Submerged Objects (USOs) emerging from or operating out of underwater bases located in several of the world’s deepest ocean trenches — explicitly including the Marianas Trench (Challenger Deep). He described these as possible “alien bases” or hiding spots for advanced entities that have been present for a long time.
      Similar claims appear frequently in UFO/UAP communities on Reddit (r/aliens, r/UFOB), YouTube channels, and podcasts. Some allege high-speed USOs traveling hundreds of knots underwater, transmedium travel (air-to-water without slowing), and bases deep enough that humans can’t easily reach them.
      Older stories sometimes link the nearby Devil’s Sea / Dragon’s Triangle (off Japan, ~1,000+ km north) to the Marianas Trench, suggesting a network of underwater alien bases across the western Pacific “Ring of Fire” zone.

      These ideas portray the trench as an ideal hiding place: extreme depth (nearly 11 km / 36,000 ft), crushing pressure, near-total darkness, and very limited human exploration make it one of the least accessible places on Earth.
      Context and Evidence Level

      No hard public evidence has ever been presented — no photos, videos, sonar data, or declassified documents confirming actual bases in the Marianas Trench. The claims rely almost entirely on second- or third-hand accounts from anonymous Navy sources, whistleblowers, or congressional hearsay.
      The U.S. military and scientific expeditions (like NOAA’s Okeanos Explorer missions) have explored parts of the Marianas Trench Marine National Monument and reported nothing extraterrestrial — only new species, geological features, and hydrothermal vents.
      Broader USO discussions (objects entering/exiting the ocean at high speed) have gained more mainstream attention since the 2021–2023 UAP hearings, but most credible reports come from coastal or shallower waters (e.g., off California, Puerto Rico, or the East Coast), not specifically the ultra-deep Challenger Deep.

      There are lots of other reasons to visit the Trench: New forms of yet-undiscovered life and those may hold some breakthrough Big Pharma compounds for commercialization.

      Our bet is that The DUDE has placed Andy on site to ensure there is a spiritually-aware observer/participant around if something’s beeen hanging on the low-beam around Challenger Deep.

      Clive Cussler could have a ton-of-fun with this kind of plot line is he was still around. But his son IS and who knows where Dirk Pitt will be consulting in what must suyrely be retirement by now…

      (Regular reader A.G. Kimbrough may want to go plot-fishing in this area too!)

      • Sounds like the expedition is under high level protection. Either that, or it has a jack-of-all trades who could be real handy on Gilligan’s Isle.
        Back home, my suggestion that Ure readers should be ready for at least 90 days with limited resupply still sounds good.

    • That explains lots. Andy, you got the gig because you already had all the certs, AND because you have the security clearance. About half the stuff JASON does is public. The other half ranges from classified to top secret, and there’s no guarantee a benign voyage won’t stumble upon something the gummint wants to classify. One of JASON’s longest-running projects is the concise mapping of the ocean floor, and that’s probably what they’re doing,but they never know what they’re going to find.

      • yes sir. i just found out this morning that everyone on this tour has a TS clearance.

        i woke up this morning and saw this,

        it is well with my soul. having breakfast with the enginers. heading to the ship in a few hours.

        Bill Cooper was Naval Intel and he saw alot of strange out of the world stuff.

        I am with Spiritual Intel.
        we will sea.

        Good Stuff George. book marked for a later read.
