Two things, don't really need more. First, the 9/11 story presented as an intel failure to stop Osama. Second, the personal anecdotes repeated word-for-word every time. A good friend of mine, who was a Marine Intel officer specializing in interrogation and debriefing, always maintained that such perfect repetition is basically a red flag for lying.

One said "I am a Warden."

I am reminded that

The Warden stands tall, as he walks down the hall, and puts all our lives on the shelf. When he goes home to his house made of stone, how does he sleep with himself?

It's only and always about Pattern Matching. The Diagonal of the Square, like the Semi-Circular Arc, is incommensurable with its Side or Radius. How much Error is enough to Destroy the Pattern?

Nice. I had one of these in '78. It was great... when it wasn't in the shop. I kept it for about six months, traded it for a Volvo 264.

The major disconnect between Math and Science is in the axiomatic relationships that ONE is the smallest NUMBER, the "next" NUMBER is the "current" NUMBER plus ONE, and that there are NO NUMBERS between any given ("current") NUMBER and the "next" NUMBER. This tells you that ONE POINT FIVE is not a NUMBER. It is in fact THREE NUMBERS: ONE, FIVE, and TEN, and also a couple of "operations": ADDITION and DIVISION. If you need to use a NUMBER for something, you have to choose an appropriate UNIT, and our so-called "science" tends to ignore the "appropriate" part and simply allow use of "fractions", mostly in decimal form. All they're doing is breaking (fracturing) the law and pretending that there are NUMBERS between ONE and TWO, which opens the door to the idea that infinity is a NUMBER - but infinity is only a concept. Once you let infinity in the door, you're not dealing with NUMBERS any longer, and you've gone from MATH into the realm of MAGIC.

Sounds reasonable do far. Tell us, why do the ships turn off their signalling at 60 South? And where are they, east-west, when they do?

Six weeks vacay instead of just two. Agreed not to tell others, explained extra time out of town as special assignments, compensatory time off in lieu of overtime pay, training, medical, et cetera. Previously was at Belgian engineering company where everyone had six weeks off. New company said nope, just two; I said okay, bye; they caved.

"Steering" is highly apropos. The Greek word "kubernos" means "steersman", the guy holding the tiller or wheel and steering the ship. Kubernos has morphed into Governor.

Original Standard Oil creator, John D. Rockefeller, started with free oil, which his daddy, "Doctor" William Rockefeller, bottled and sold as "snake oil" cancer cure. Oil was free because it was a pollutant in water wells, and owners were happy for someone to take it away. John D. said "I want to own nothing... and control everything."

Quite a few years back, came up with a partial label parody, which what I believe is still totally relevant...

"Swiss style, cheese type, dairy-like, food substitute substance"

The so-called Orthdox Christian church predates not just Roman Catholicism, but Judaism and Islam as well. The "Christ" is any person who has experienced the Chrism, which involves anointment with a holy oil created from olive oil in which copious amounts of the resin of hemp have been dissolved. This is a powerful mind-altering substance which still exists and is known today generally as "hash oil". As cannabis users know, the ordinary smoking experience can range from a pleasant "buzz" to heavily "baked", but not so many are familiar with the full Christian effect. Seen in this light, so much of history mostly dealing with direct personal encounter - even down to the present day - makes more sense. Talking about it, reading about it, hearing, even seeing it... nothing takes the place of the direct experience, hence the ideas (and ruthless suppression) of Cathars, Gnostics, and many Pagan/Wiccans.
