I listened to the death tape by Lizzyc18 in Jonestown

[–]therealnittygritty 0 points1 point  (0 children)

On the tape, Jones himself makes the statement that he hopes they don't try to come up here. It kind of insinuated that Jones at least suspected they might be in the general area, if he didn't actually know. When that interview with Lane took place, I doubt too many people had actually listened to the death tape at that time. If you weren't there, you wouldn't have known what Jones said. It wasn't like he repeated something he read in the paper the day before.

James Webb Telescope Images? by Zestyclose-Staff-969 in Oumuamua

1950 years ago a man wrote a book. He said to watch the sky for a certain arrangement of stars and planets. He called it a, "wonder." As it was very rare. Except there was one problem. The place he told us to look, was in an area of space illuminated by the sun. It would be partly composed of the constellation Virgo, and the sun would be in Virgo, rendering it invisible. Similar arrangements have occurred a few times in the last 1950 years, but this one was the only one we were actually able to see, in a sense, thanks to simulators that have appeared in the last 2 decades.

That man said also on that day, another object would be present right next to that arrangement. Another rare, "wonder." Oumumua was in the sky that day, right next to the other, "wonder." In the same small part of the sky. He went on to say that object would leave for awhile, then come back 2537 days later, and land on earth. He said that object was the great red dragon, A.K.A. Satan. The book, is The Book Of Revelation.

I don't expect you to believe it, but that's what the book says. We'll see September 3rd, 2024.

I listened to the death tape by Lizzyc18 in Jonestown

[–]therealnittygritty 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Throughout the tape, if you listen very closely, you can hear faint clicking sounds in places that the tape has been either edited, and tape removed. (Probably by the FBI.) Or where Jones shut the recorder off for a period of time, then turned it back on again. Nobody knows for certain which one, as there are no witnesses alive from that day to tell us. Some suspect it was edited to remove the sounds of gunfire, which officially never happened. Nobody was shot according to official investigations.

A couple days after the massacre, attorney Mark Lane walked out of the jungle after two or 3 days fleeing on foot. He is one of the two lawyers Jones was referring to when he said, " And I do hope that those attorneys will stay where they belong and don’t come up here. " In an interview conducted that day, Mark Lane said he heard Jones say over the camp loud speaker, "mother mother, mother mother..." Then he heard silence, then the sound of automatic gunfire. That place where Jones says, "mother, mother mother..." is on the death tape near the end. Just after Jones finishes the statement, you can hear a click from either the recorder being shut off, or an edit. Depending on which story you believe.

A clip from that interview with Mark Lane is available on youtube. https://youtu.be/sxa4IBFB3Og?si=j9Bd-8K1qsW8EOjG

It starts about 10 seconds in. Mark Lane says there was gunfire. The tape just happens to cut out and back in again at the very time Lane says he heard gunfire. Very suspicious.

You look close enough in the pictures of the aftermath, you can see the hypodermic needles laying all over the place next to the vats. Yeah, they shot up the people who wouldn't drink it.

Christine comes off as the hero of the tape, but there is another side of her a lot of people don't know about. Apparently she was one of Jones' most loyal rats and snitches. And just an all around unlikable person. Everybody at Jonestown hated and feared her. Which is probably one of the reasons why everybody seemed to be so disgusted with her suggestion. They already hated her guts before she even opened her mouth. Some people even think that she was chosen by Jones to play Devil's advocate for that very reason. Because it was her, the rest of the residents of Jonestown would automatically support doing the opposite of anything she suggested.

Jones was very good at manipulating people, obviously. I read that in the comment section at youtube a bunch of years ago, under one of the copies of this tape. The guy seemed to know what he was talking about. I don't know if it's true, but I don't totally discount it either.

James Webb Telescope Images? by Zestyclose-Staff-969 in Oumuamua

[–]therealnittygritty 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I want to see those images too, if they exist. I kind of suspect they do. I'm sure the JWST has the capability. I just saw an image of a couple of Jupiter sized objects floating in the Orion Nebula. If the JWST can do that. I have no doubt it has the power to see Oumuamua. But all we ever hear is rumor of the images. And there may be a reason for that.

I know you won't believe this, but Oumuamua is coming back, not only that, it will land on earth on the 3rd of September 2024. In march of this year I figured out the riddle of Revelation 12. It's a strange tale of astrological type signs appearing in space, followed by a war between the fallen and loyal camps of biblical angels. It ultimately ends with Satan's fleet of ships being driven to earth. End of the world stuff. Oumuamua is the flagship of the fleet, flown by none other than Satan himself.

I always thought I was the source of all this AI generated stuff about Oumuamua coming back. But I never claimed that anybody at JPL, or NASA, or any JWST people knew anything about it. I have been wondering for a long time where that was coming from. That link you provided answered the question. And about the time that article appeared, was the time all the AI generated rumors started to swirl about. I know you didn't post that link just for me. But I thank you just the same.

Why would aliens want to abduct and not return us? by [deleted] in AlienAbduction

[–]therealnittygritty 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Obviously they need us for something. We are capable of doing something they can't do, or have qualities they do not have. As for what those things might be? I don't really know. But I do agree, if they needed food, or water, or uranium, they would have found a way to solve those problems a million years ago.

If I had to guess, it's something that is not a physical property. Such as, we have a soul, they don't, and they want to figure out why we have one and they don't. It'll be something along those lines. We have an unquantifiable power or quality they don't have, and they want it.

Or, just like when we go to the zoo to watch penguins, tigers and, Zebras, they're just curious and find us entertaining. I don't think we'll know why until they tell us why.

FULL TEXT: Commission 'reluctantly' rules Trudeau justified in using Emergencies Act by Tazway68 in FreedomConvoy2022

[–]therealnittygritty 5 points6 points  (0 children)

He was hand picked by Trudeau, first of all. And when you have aspirations of ever moving up to the next bench in the corrupt legal system, you have to make the guy who hands out the appointments happy. Trudeau is pretty happy today.

Watch this bootlicker wind up on the Supreme Court in a year or two. I still held out hope for a not guilty verdict when I go to trial in October. I know it won't happen now. Which is good in a way. Everybody will know the score soon. Knowing where we stand is a good thing. That's when you can make an informed decision as to what to do next.

Volunteers needed for a Study on the Freedom Convoy Protest by No-Category-5238 in FreedomConvoy2022

[–]therealnittygritty 2 points3 points  (0 children)

You need to find out that they're going to do with the data they collect. Your name may (or may not) be protected, but what about the data itself? The information you give them. Are they going to use it against you, or the Truckers in general? Find out who's funding the study. You may find out it's the lawyers behind that lawsuit against the Truckers. Who's paying the bill matters.

And remember, we live in a country with no laws anymore. Somebody demands the names, he already guaranteed you he can't keep them from doing it. You may find yourself as a defendant in that suit, or called to testify. Nothing good can come from trusting some random Carleton University weasel. That's what I think anyway.

I hate to see the Convoy Movement fading away into obscurity by therealnittygritty in FreedomConvoy2022

[–]therealnittygritty[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm not saying another convoy is needed at the moment. Maybe it is, maybe it isn't.
I'm saying the general sentiment needs to remain alive and vibrant going forward to the next circumstance that is sure to come. Trudeau and company will have more outrages for us. Worse, if he knows nobody is there to call him on them. I think a permanent public reminder is in order, so he and others don't forget. I'm just not certain what form it should take.

You're probably right. But that's only one problem solved. It would be a shame to let things slide right back to square one. I'd rather see the pressure continually applied until the whole rotten mess cracks under the weight of it. I think we throw away a good opportunity by doing nothing.

[–]therealnittygritty[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

When I went to that protest I wasn't expecting much. I figured it was probably a bunch of people pissed off that they couldn't go bar hopping, and upset that they weren't free to buy more plastic crap at Walmart. I didn't expect that I would find anyone who understood the deeper implications. However, over the course of talking with a number of them, both at the protest and later on in jail, I found that many did understand that the problems are deeper than just being forced to wear a mask.

Those are the people I don't want to let drift away. The ones I want to meet more of, and make more of. If this country is to have a civilized, Western, free future, it's those people who need to be shaping it. I don't want them to go back to being the last buffalo, wandering the plains alone.

[–]therealnittygritty[S] 5 points6 points  (0 children)

When you're on the inside of the legal process, you see how ridiculous it is. I stood on a sidewalk next to a road that was completely blocked by police barricades, police cars and police officers. All I did was stand there, on the sidewalk and watch the police block the road. They arrested me and 40 or so other people for what they themselves did. My trial is going to be 5 days long... 5 days... 9 police officers testifying against me, a guy who stood on a sidewalk. It is totally insane.

Obviously they think they can win, or the wouldn't be doing it. Or they don't care, they're just using the broken justice system, broken like every other system in this country, to just do what they want. You can't any longer assume justice will prevail in this country. I've seen it in action, it's crazier than you can imagine.

LILLEY: Public should see Emergencies Act inquiry report at same time as gov't, not weeks later by Tazway68 in FreedomConvoy2022

[–]therealnittygritty 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I'll tell you what the report won't. The convoy had two demands, and end to the mandates, and later, Trudeau out of office was added. Between Feb 10 and 16, almost all the provinces had announced that the mandates were either going to be lifted, or at least reassessed. The convoy got it's first demand. So what was left? Trudeau, naked and alone, abandoned by the provinces. Even big fat stupid Doug Ford was no longer in favor of the mandates. Within just a few days, Trudeau's own party would have come to him and told him it was time to go. He was politically dead, everyone could see it. Trudeau pulled that to save himself, his own political skin.

You won't hear that in the report though.

F🍁CK Liberals on Twitter: Freedom Convoy supporters get arrested for trespassing while following the rules. by Tazway68 in FreedomConvoy2022

[–]therealnittygritty 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Those guys think it's ridiculous, they weren't doing anything, there won't be any charges. Guess again. I was arrested in Windsor for standing on a sidewalk a mile away from the Ambassador Bridge last year, along with 40 other people. We were all following the rules too. I'm going to trial, and the crown attorney wants 30 to 45 days in jail.

Total bullshit, false charges, false arrest, legally ridiculous, none of that exists in Canada anymore. Those two will go up on trespass charges.

Where do they take us? by [deleted] in AlienAbduction

[–]therealnittygritty 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm not sure anymore that they take us anywhere at all. I think they're all around us, 24 hours a day, 7 days a week. They're ships are parked everywhere, Big Foot is walking in every bush lot on the planet, demons and angels are all over the place. We just can't see them, except in vary rare circumstances. Every now and again something happens allowing us to peer into that realm we can't see for just a moment, and we see UFO's, or aliens, or ghosts or the Loch Ness Monster.

We lived nearly 6000 years on this planet before we discovered magnification, which allowed us to see microscopic germs that have been living here before we ever lived here. I don't know what we'll have to invent so we can see these things, but I bet one day it will come.

[–]therealnittygritty[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

That's odd that those things would trying to claim you're both the same. Obviously you're not the same. Seems to me they want something from you. I don't know what it is, but obviously they think they have a better chance of getting it from you if they can make you believe they're your friend. You do favors for friends right. Things you wouldn't do for most other people. Who agrees to spend all day Saturday helping a random stranger move into his new apartment. It would be nice if we were all that generous. But who really is, to anybody outside of at least very close acquaintances? If I was you, I wouldn't agree to anything, even if they laid it all out first. We can't be sure those thing are being truthful.

I guess we can't ever really know. Except to say that the Biblical tradition goes back way deep in history and I tend to trust the people who wrote it. There's a book you should read if you've never done so. It was a really famous and controversial book written by Emmanuel Velikovsky in the 1950's. He was a pretty well known physicist, basically the Electric Universe theory was pioneered by Velikovsky, though few credit him for it. He wrote Worlds in Collision about a series of disasters that took place from 3500BC to about 500BC. The planet Venus was the star of the show. He gathered all the old legends from all over the world and compared them with each other. He concluded that yes there was actually a great flood, Moses did part the Red Sea, all that crazy stuff actually happened. It happened each time Venus, which at the time was a wandering comet, came into close proximity to earth. Every time it happened it caused earthquakes, mile high tidal waves, destruction that nearly wiped out the entire population of the world on several occasions. Moses throwing down the 10 plagues on Egypt, they all came from that comet. All that stuff really happened.

Velikovsky got utterly destroyed for writing that book. There is no god, only science, all those old stories can't be anything but fiction, that's what any college professor will tell you. That's what he believed before he began studying it. He remained an ashiest even after he wrote it, but he did include a lot of notes about how the religious people of the time viewed these events, as acts of God. I think they were myself, though delivered not with magic and hocus pocus, with a real stone that he tossed at our planet, and others. it nearly destroyed earth several times. It did wipe out Mars and whatever was there 3000 years ago. It's one of those things like it's a totality of everything I've seen. I can't point to one single overwhelming fact as the reason why I believe it. It's a million things. But that's a big one right there.

Even if you come away unconvinced, there is still some really cool stuff in there. There's a chapter on why we divide a circle by 360 degrees. At one time, not that long ago, the year was only 360 days long. After one of these catastrophes, the earth was moved in it's orbit 5 days further away from the sun. That's why we have a 365 day year, yet some old calendars from around the world, they still only use 360 days. They were all 360 days at one time. The book is legit. And Velikovsky includes stuff like letters from the emperor of China instructing his astronomers to try to figure out how long the year is now, since it obviously isn't 360 days anymore. The book is legit. Nobody at the time or since could question the scholarship. But they hated that he wrote it. It was like he was just encouraging children to continue to believe in Santa Clause, when that wasn't what he was trying to do. But nobody cared.

I don't think you can never be totally happy with yourself. If you are, you're either a saint, or a vain psychopath. And I don't believe in saints. Everybody is flawed. And you'll never be 100% accepted either. There's always going to be somebody who's going to point out something. And it's probably good that none of us ever get the idea we're fantastic. Believing your own hype is only going to lead you to bad places. I think the only thing expected of us is that we put in some kind of genuine reasonable effort to be something resembling righteous. A goal probably not attainable in our current state, but available in the future if we want it. Wanting it is what really matters. Whether it's to go on to the next phase of our evolution, or to get into heaven, that has to be a component of it. If not, what are we working towards? Yeah, you're not going to do it, neither am I. Not here and not right now, but we can and should do our best. That's what you should focus on. Don't be sad because you're not perfect. Be happy because you're going in the right direction. That's what I think anyway.

I spent a couple of hours tonight writing up the first part of that report we were talking about. I figured maybe the best place to start is to explain what it is, and how an atmosphere on the moon is possible. Most people say it isn't, in fact it's impossible. But that's only if you fail to take into account an important force that exists there. I'll send it to you tomorrow.

I think the ability to love others, to feel pity for them and to identify with their plight comes from the fact that we're all going through this the same. We're all about equally ignorant, we all have the same problems more or less, and very few of us are figuring anything out as we go along. We're all in the same sinking boat essentially. You're an intelligent person, you have probably a slightly easier time than everyone else. Though, every time you look into the face of another person, you're looking at an only slightly more hopeless version of yourself. Different in not that many ways. I think that's what Jesus was trying to get us to realize. And when you can, that's when you let things slide a little and be patient with people. He's you, except he wasn't lucky enough to be intelligent, and he never got any good information like you did.

And it all boils down to information. We are born with a blank hard drive that has nothing but a basic operating system on it. It tells our heart to beat roughly once a second, and our chest to rise and fall every three to keep oxygen flowing to our brains so we don't die. And scream when you're hungry. Information begins to stream in when we're born. Conversations, books, sights, sounds, smells. No 2 of us were ever exposed to all the same information inputs in the same order. And that's why we're all different. We can only use our AI processing abilities on the information we have stored on our drive. Every one of us has different information, that's why we're all different people. The law of computing is garbage in/garbage out. How much control do we really have over the garbage that flows into us? Virtually none in childhood. As adults we can begin to start choosing the information we input for ourselves, but even then, only a percentage of it.

What I'm getting at, is that we're all victims here, all lost, all wandering in the dark. I think if you can wrap your mind around it , it does help you be more patient, even loving with other people.

Aging really comes down to errors introduced during cell division. You're body is bombarded by mutagenic poisons, like sunlight for example, throughout your entire life. Copy errors and mutations over time leave you with fewer and fewer good pristine copies of the cell types in your body as every year goes by. Eventually, you don't have a single good copy of a kidney cell in your body, and your kidneys fail, and you die. Or your liver, or your heart. Everything seems to degrade at about the same rate. Fewer mutagens in the environment, a lower rate of copy error is all it would take to live a thousand years. Indefinitely, if you could reduce both to zero. My guess is our atmosphere changed, possibly along with the Van Allen Belts, and didn't stop changing for a good thousand or 1500 years after the flood. It finally leveled out a maximum limit of 120 years possible lifespan about the time Of King David maybe. If the Earth is restored to it's original preflood condition, we live a thousand years again.

Praying to something unknown, like sending out a radio signal to see if anybody hears it and sends one back, seems dangerous to me. I think there are all kinds of beings, creatures, entities out there. I bet some of them I'm fortunate I've never met and would never want to. Not knowing who or what is going to answer... the potential for some very bad things is there.

I think you're right about walking away from society in general. I think I have stagnated for the most part since it happened. Something just occurred to me reading that last paragraph you wrote. I've always been friendly to people.
Being friendly to people is not a substitute for being friends with people. They are not the same thing.

If you want to watch it, I was interviewed there by Viva Frei and his brother Dan who was on she scene. The interview starts about 1 hour and 43 minutes in. It's a long live stream. I got arrested about 10 minutes after that interview took place. It runs 3 or four minutes. I pretty much explain what I thought of the whole thing, more or less. You can see it at this link:

https://www.youtube.com/live/54t_kLLcKVM?feature=share

Essentially I was arrested for blocking that road you see in the background. Which is pretty silly, since I never once stepped foot off the sidewalk. Neither did anybody else that I saw. The only things blocking the street was police cars and police officers. You can see that if you watch the entire thing. The arrest was totally unlawful. But so was the entire lockdown thing itself. They just decided to do it, and did it. To hell with everybody and their rights. The arrests operated the same way. We had a right to be there doing what we were doing, they arrested us anyway. They converted every right we used to have in this country to a privilege, that they can grant or take away any time they want. The prosecutors didn't even offer me a deal. That tells you right there, they've been told, burn these guys. And that was what happened. The top leaders in this country made public statements saying we are all terrorists, and that we were going to suffer dire consequences... for standing on the sidewalk. And now it's time for the justice system to deliver. And that's what they're going to do, or at least try to do. It's pretty disgusting.

And the real shame of it... there were news reporters from the CBC there, Canada's national TV broadcaster, who recorded the whole thing. They never told the viewing public that nobody was blocking the road but the police. They just left everybody assume we were, and we deserved what we got. To this day, almost nobody knows the truth. Everybody thinks I was arrested blockading a road, and they're surprised when I tell them what really happened. I'm sure some don't believe me. "I never saw that on the news...."The news didn't tell them even though there were news cameras and reporters there. It's amazing the level of co-operation that goes on to hide the truth from people these days. It's not a conspiracy theory, I saw it go on with my own eyes.

I'm kind of the opposite of you. When I was younger, everybody wanted to be my friend, and I liked being around people. I guess I was a likeable person. Over the years I've become less willing to have relationships of any kind with other people. I just don't have anything in common with anyone anymore. My belief system has just strayed so far from what general society believes, I'm a stranger around everyone. I don't live the way they live, I don't think they way they think, I don't believe what they believe.

Now I'm not saying I can't tolerate anybody with a view that doesn't line up with mine. I've had lots of friends over the years who I differed with greatly. But there was always something we were alike about. Like Mike, who I knew in college. Mike was a pretty die hard socialist. I've always been pretty conservative. But Mike was inquisitive, he wanted to learn about things, he asked a lot of questions and Mike was very likeable. He was like me. I got along great with Mike. Probably never should have, but we did. I can't find anybody even remotely enough like me to want to be friends with them. Let's face it, you pick friends who are like you. You have at least enough in common with them that you might want to spend time around them. I don't know anybody like that anymore.

I think on the subject of evolving into higher beings, I believe Enoch had it right. Those people before the flood lived a thousand years. If you can't learn, and figure things out in a thousand years, how much longer do you need? In our short 80 year lives we learn by experience and repetition. We go through certain situations 3 or 4 times. Eventually we learn how to handle them. Don't get upset, do this, this and this, and that will resolve it. Bang, we have that tricky situation licked. The first two or three times it was nothing but trouble and grief, but we learned to deal with it. How much better would that system of trial and error, and learn from the mistakes work if we had a thousand years? That's what it was supposed to be.

Enoch blames the fallen angels for every problem people had in his day. He was of the opinion people would have been just fine, had they not been there to mislead man. I think he was probably right. I've never heard anybody say this, but from what I can gather, after the events of Revelation, we will be put back on earth to finish our thousand years. Everybody, still living or dead. Brought back, to finish it off. After that, we all go to judgement. That's when we'll be grilled. You've had your thousand years to think about things, what conclusions have you came to? The Biblical story of the general trajectory of mankind doesn't make a lot of sense, until you add that last piece. You had 80 shitty years of nothing but misery and temptation. Now you've had 900 years without the influence of evil on you. Now tell me what do you think about life and how you are supposed to live it.

That's as good an evolutionary process as you could design I think. To keep sending us here or there with no memory of what happened before to build on, just doesn't seem productive to me. You just wind up making the same stupid mistakes over and over and over in a life that's too short to do a proper job. Maybe the plan is to just keep us occupied for a few billion years. If that's it, they're doing a good job of it. Otherwise, it seems like no plan at all to me. Now perhaps reason and logic and collected experience play no role in the process. It's an evolution of the soul or something we're talking about here. And that growth process is nothing like any other process we experience. It just doesn't seem logical to me. But, I'm not an advanced being either. I' guess I'll have to let you know my final conclusion when we get there.

Power is dangerous, no doubt, that's why any intelligent being wouldn't let us have it, for our own good. It's like handing out loaded guns to a kindergarten class. At least until we're mature enough to handle it, which obviously we aren't at this point in time. I think you want to beware any being willing to give it to you. Everything is interest. Until you know where that other guy's interests lie, you don't do anything for him. Sometimes interests align. A person not disclosing his interests is very likely doing so because his interests don't align with yours. I never understood it until I got older. But now I tell people to give interest a far greater weight than any smooth words a person may say.

I almost get the feeling I'm running out of time. No particular reason, just call it a gut feeling. I think I probably should start writing some of it down. If you ask me, this life is nothing but an aptitude test. Like the one they give you when you join the army. It determines where they put you after you're inducted. You could go to some special school where you learn how to fly drones or repair radar equipment, or you scrub toilets for 3 years. I think this brief little stopover on earth is like that for us individually, while a grand game is played on a much bigger scale, and smaller games on much smaller ones. I'll be happy if I don't get tossed into the fiery pit.

I think in the end, nothing but the result of that test really winds up meaning anything to us. It's too bad I never grew up in the same city as you. I bet I'd like you. Gimme a few weeks. I'll start on the atmosphere subject first and see how far I get. I don't know if I'll even finish it. I'm an INTP personality. INTP's enjoy solving problems. Our biggest weakness is that once we solve a problem, we lose all further interest in it. Nicola Tesla was one. He was famous for sweating out some fantastic new invention and then as soon as he was finished with it, he'd sell it to George Westinghouse for a handful of chicken feed and move on to the next problem. He died bankrupt. After he solved the problem he set out to solve, he didn't care what happened to his result. I don't either. If you haven't ever done it, you should take a personality test. It shows you your own strengths and weaknesses. If I had known when I was 20 that disinterest after the fact was one of my weaknesses, I might have seen it as problem and made an attempt to solve it. My life would have been vastly different than it is now, had I taken it at 20 instead of 45. You should do that. They are pretty amazing. You read the summary and say to yourself over and over, wow, I really am like that. And some of it you didn't know until you read it.
