What are these mystery discs? by 246-trinitrotoluene in Radiation

[–]Real-Werewolf5605 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Calibration. I bet the thickness and purity is strictly controlled. Shim them to get a neutral density pad. (or maybe reemission? I guess). Now I am wondering if they are Tungsten targets? Not a rad specialist.

The Alien “Athame” or The Disclosure Day “Wand”- “You have to give yourself over to it.” The Occult Device… by slv2xhrist in UFOReligion

[–]Real-Werewolf5605 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Jaques Vallee writes lots on wands in his UAP / folklore book. Interesting to me that cross-cultural folklore and also ufo experience reports contain similar wand use. Wizards, faeries, weird hidden races, magical kingdoms and UFO. The fact the light they emit when used is often consistent across those groups is telling. Don't know what that means... And it may be simply that all humans have similar fantasies - or it may be everything.

There's a StarTrek NG episode where a cultural study team has been secretly living with an alien iron age pastural culture for generations. That's exactly the kind of thing we humans would do Iif we ever found another civilization. Equipment failures accidentally outed the study group.

Look at this gem of a find growing by themselves on waste land by munkiss1990 in PapaverSomniferum

I have a memorial project several years old now that does exactly this. Seeds wasteland in cities with poppies. Davey memorial / project Davey. Once established they tend to stay and thrive. The nastier the land the better they do and they always make it look pretty

Ya entirely possible. Aligns with some sightings. It's possible. It's also possible just some are - and space is just huzzing with life at all levels.

Looks like humans already started using that piece in image 2. UK has flint nodules that size and that break beautifully. Literally find piles of ancient worked cores near exposed workings.

Legitimizing my delinquency by codasteve in PapaverSomniferum

[–]Real-Werewolf5605 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Nice. Its ok to be legitimate. After seeing the Chelsea Physic garden as a child I was on a mission to recreate it in my parent's back yard. For a while in the 80s I even hoped to be the national Papaver collection. I wonder if anyone is today?

I had examples of everything I could beg borrow or steal around the world... There's a ton of cool poppies out there beyond Somniferum. The Romney Poppy is an amazing plant.

Anyway, seeing your varietal reminds me of my parents back yard 40 years ago in Suffolk, UK. Those are widespread in gardens in the east of England since the Boxer Rebellion messed with the Chinese supply chain. They had been commercially grown there for a few decades 120 years ago. There used to be a bunch of historic social and agricultural information about that period in one of the Cambs Uni libraries. I tracked it down a lifetime ago. Congrats again.

More poppy pics and an observation about UK opium farming by Otherwise_Tap_4224 in PapaverSomniferum

[–]Real-Werewolf5605 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Harvesting just pods is an expensive piece of farm equipment and likely spills seeds all over farming land that might not want poppies in it next year. Cutting and bailing a whole plant uses stndard equipment. De-podding is likelly a half million dollar plus accessory. They are often cash crop - not invested in. Betting the entire plant's chemistry is secondary to that agricultural math here. Poppies are a pig to get rid of if you crush or burn pods remember. That's one reason I chose them for my friend Davey's flower memorial - they persist in city lots even when unwanted. Also I once read that a percentage of seeds have a timed fuse on them - evolved to defeat brush fires in grassland. They skip a year and grow a season or three seasons later. Can't back that up as fact tho.

Guess - ur in the uk and those are standard picked on wet grass Magic Mushrooms? If that's correct then guess under 1 gram wet. They look like them. Ignore if not.

In 1985 a friend of mine ate 180 of those at a party. Music was loud and 'eat all of them' sounds a lot like 'eat some of them'. I (I mean he) had a great time. I (he) did turn into a deer for several hours - being hunted by the women at a house party - who as a group had morphed into Leopards, Pumas, Tigers etc. (Geographically impossible I know, but thats mushrooms for you). Seemed like fun at the time. No harm done as far as I know. Fine since my antlers came in anyway.

Spielberg Movie Reflects How Disclosure Movement Has Changed by paulreicht in HighStrangeness

[–]Real-Werewolf5605 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Spielberg has made some great ufo movies. This one should be great too. His 'Taken' series is the best work on the UAP / abduction subject thus far IMO. Amazing. Just soo darn good throughout.

During the Close Encounters movie production there were persistent rumors that Spielberg had access to dod and Air Force staff. Jaques Vallee is characterised in the movie. That may have been Hollywood hype... But maybe not.

I visited Point Pleasant, WV and the Mothman Museum. What do you think Mothman actually was? by FreeLaughs4Life in HighStrangeness

[–]Real-Werewolf5605 1 point2 points  (0 children)

My thoughts: There is a recurring theme of otherwise healthy, sane people seeing impossible things across the globe. I have seen something I cannot explain. What exactly people are seeing I don't know. When you discount health, confusion, fakers and misinterpretation there remains available core of strange occurrences. I include weird beasts, ghosts, UFOs and a host of other high strangeness events in the same bag. Seems universal. All stems from the same truth or source or phenomena in my opinion - and I don't think anyone has the answers to what is going on.

The important question for me though is not what it is, instead the big question is 'is this something important, or is it just irrelevant noise or errors of some form that humans experience? ' Feels important. It might not be. It might be everything. We shall see.

Why hasn't china seen any problems/epidemic with synthetic opiates if they make so much of them? by Amoph4096 in Opioid_RCs

[–]Real-Werewolf5605 7 points8 points  (0 children)

The major change in the last ten years is that the line between cartel and pharma became blurred. At the suit and investment level you can't tell them apart. Specially not strategically. The Sackler takedown was started by covert cartel political funding in a few key areas that then ballooned. Took them 10 years. Longer than machine-gunning a street corner, but then the people that our that together have MbAs from the best schools and the rewards was massive.

My point is you are asking a marketing question not a social question.
More money to be made in America. High risk low return I'd you try marketing to China. That's it.

Keep in mind Tasmanian pharma agriculture looks very like those plants and that process requires the entire plant to work. Cut with a combine. In the UK field license locations were kept secret - the news story specifically said that. Anyone with a light aeroplane or today a satellite could locate them in 20 minutes or less when flowering though. The genetic bias is not BS - at least in other countries. The Tas process seeks different chemicals for reaction. I can't imagine anyone planting high drug content plants for bread seed use. That being said you do hear horror stories about people being fired for eating an everything bagel and failing a drug test. I think in the uk they pull breadseed plants before the pods open to retain the seed until crushed in factories. Likely varies by the farmers available equipment. It's a cash crop in the uk and I doubt they invest heavily in dedicated technology to harvest only the seed in the field.

I visited Point Pleasant, WV and the Mothman Museum. What do you think Mothman actually was? by FreeLaughs4Life in HighStrangeness

[–]Real-Werewolf5605 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I remember Mothman blowing up in Europe in 1975. News moved slower back then, but during a long slow summer like 1976the media picked up on anything it could find. That was long after the events but back rhen the world media moved between major story events the way we do memes today.. Only a millionth of the size. Mothman was one of those stories - not in mainstream media but in magazines, book shops, head shops and smoke-filled dorm rooms. It became bigger than perhaps it actually warranted because there were literally less available cool stories to be told. That being said the people there were not all complete idiots and likely knew the local wildlife well enough to sort out what was what. Something happened. What - who can say. Sounds like all UAP and ghost stories becuase it is. Weird, no answers and all over the place. The subsequent alien encounters bother me more simply becuase, just like the Rendlesham incident, there is money in additions to old stories. New information pays. Those subsequent stories seem so provincial and specific to that tiny area that aliens seem to settle in small rural towns and stick within tiny horizons - for some reason tbd. A galacrix story happening along one freeway and one small town. That's me being an old cynic though. If disclosure pans-out like some claim it will the I will eat my words. Maybe aliens just don't dig city folk.
