    🧠 Did You Know?
    Prunes — yes, the humble dried plum — are one of nature’s richest sources of malic acid, a natural compound shown to help the body bind and eliminate toxic metals like aluminum. 🌿

    Why does that matter? Because heavy metal accumulation is linked to issues like cognitive decline and neurological imbalance. Regularly soaking or eating prunes can support your body’s detox pathways, protect brain health, and keep your cells functioning optimally. 🫐

    💡 Tip: Soak a few prunes overnight and drink the infused water — it’s a simple daily ritual for gentle detox and better long-term health.

    Didn't know where to put this, but this lady is one of our local folks. It amazed me to realize today that she is now 108, and still playing!


    Violet Hensley is considered one of the oldest living links to country music's past:
    Age: 108 years old
    Known by numerous names including the “Whittling Fiddler” and the “Stradivarius of the Ozarks,” Grand Ole Opry performer, actress, fiddler, and designated “Living Treasure,” Violet Hensley is likely the oldest living link to country music’s past. Born on October 21, 1916 to George Washington Brumley and Nora Springer Brumley, that would make her 108 years old.
    She learned how to make fiddles from her father who made his first fiddle in 1888 using hand tools. Violet Hensley was married at the age of 18 and had nine children, but always found the time to pursue her passion for fiddle making. A Violet Hensley-made fiddle is considered a treasure and a masterpiece. It wasn’t until later in life when she began to be known as a performer, releasing three album, Old Time Fiddle Tunes (1974), The Whittling Fiddler and Family (1983), and Family Treasures (2004).
    Violet Hensley also appeared on The Beverly Hillbillies (1969), The Art Linkletter Show (1970), Captain Kangaroo (1977), and Live with Regis and Kathy Lee (1992). She’s been featured in National Geographic and other periodicals, and she made her Grand Ole Opry debut at the tender age of 99 on August 6th, 2016.
    Well, this local lady is an unbelievable 109 as of yesterday!
    Happy Birthday Violet


    *edit to add - There is a list of the world's oldest living people Here.
    But Violet didn't make the list - she is too young.

    AI Security System Mistakes Bag of Doritos for Gun, Triggers Police Response to School in Baltimore

    Police held a student at gunpoint after an AI gun detection system mistakenly flagged a Doritos bag as a firearm

    "They were all pointing guns at me."

    "They made me get on my knees, put my hands behind my back, and cuff me"

    VIDEO: https://foxbaltimore.com/news/local/...od-high-school

    Watch bag of Doritos morph into gun: https://x.com/StarshipAlves/status/1981470786730013147


    An artificial intelligence system (AI) apparently mistook a high school student’s bag of Doritos for a firearm and called local police to tell them the pupil was armed.

    Taki Allen was sitting with friends on Monday night outside Kenwood high school in Baltimore and eating a snack when police officers with guns approached him.

    “At first, I didn’t know where they were going until they started walking toward me with guns, talking about, ‘Get on the ground,’ and I was like, ‘What?’” Allen told the WBAL-TV 11 News television station.

    Allen said they made him get on his knees, handcuffed and searched him – finding nothing. They then showed him a copy of the picture that had triggered the alert.

    “I was just holding a Doritos bag – it was two hands and one finger out, and they said it looked like a gun,” Allen said.

    The company behind the AI gun detections security system is called Omnilert.

    In the last year, Baltimore County Public Schools has invested nearly $2.6 million on AI gun detection security systems in its schools.

    https://www.thegatewaypundit.com/202...-gun-triggers/


    BALTIMORE COUNTY, Md. (WBAL) – An artificial intelligence security detector led to a terrifying moment for a Maryland high school student after an empty chip bag stuffed in his pocket set off an alert that dispatched police.

    “It was a scary situation. It’s nothing I’ve been through before,” Taki Allen said.

    On Monday at around 7 p.m., Allen says he was sitting outside of Kenwood High School in Baltimore County waiting for his ride after football practice.

    While waiting with his friends, Allen says he ate a bag of Doritos, crumpled up the bag and put it in his pocket.

    What happened next caught him completely off guard.

    “Twenty minutes later, it was like eight cop cars that came pulling up to us.” Allen remembered. “At first, I didn’t know where they was going until they started walking towards me with guns, talking about, ‘Get on the ground.’ I was like, ‘What?’ And made get on my knees and then put my hands behind my back and cuffed me, and then they searched me and they figured out I didn’t have nothing. Then they went over there to where I was standing, found a bag of chips on the floor.”

    Allen asked why officers approached him.

    “They said that an AI detector or something detected that I had a gun. He showed me a picture. I was just holding a Doritos bag like this,” Allen described. “It was two hands in, one hand out and one finger out, and they said it looked like a gun.”

    Last year, Baltimore County high schools started using a gun detection system that uses artificial intelligence to help detect potential weapons by tapping into existing school cameras.

    The system can identify a possible weapon and then send an alert to the school safety team and law enforcement.

    Allen’s grandfather says that he’s not only upset about the situation, but also the response.

    “Nobody would want this to happen to their child,” Lamont Davis said. “No one, no one wants this to happen to their child.”

    Baltimore County police officials provided a letter from the principal that was sent to parents. It says, in part, “At approximately 7 p.m., school administration received an alert that an individual on school grounds may have been in possession of a weapon. The Department of School Safety and Security quickly reviewed and canceled the initial alert after confirming there was no weapon.”

    The company behind the AI gun detection technology is called Omnilert.

    Omnilert doesn’t comment on internal school procedures.

    The school system says counseling is being offered to the students involved.

    EU Parliament Member EXPOSES Craziness Of EU Elites - M. Schulenburg & J. Sachs (1:05:14)
    Count Michael von der Schulenburg, who worked decades in conflict resolution for the United Nations and is now a European Parliament member for Germany's left-wing party BSW, discusses with Professor Jeffrey Sachs the reasons and extend of EU elite madness and institutional failures. Not only war propaganda is on an all-time high, also the political process is so captured by Russo-phobic pro-war narratives that the ideologists within the bureaucratic structures of the Brussel's behemoth don't even understand the extend and consequences of their irresponsible war policies. Coupled with the inability for long-term planning and disregard of national interest, the fate of the European continent is set for another dark chapter. The worst is yet to come.

    'The Final Stage of the Empath Called Dangerous - Carl Jung
    In this profound analysis, drawing from four decades of clinical work, the eminent psychiatrist Carl Jung examines the final, crucial stage in the psychological development of the empath—a stage he termed the "dangerous empath." Jung reveals that the profound sensitivity of these individuals is not a vulnerability, but a formidable, suppressed power. This transformation is marked by the empath's refusal to be manipulated, their absolute commitment to trusting their own perception, and the integration of their "shadow" elements, such as righteous anger and self-protective boundaries. Jung documents how this internal wholeness renders the empath a force of clarity, capable of seeing through deception and toxicity without resorting to cruelty, and thus, a threat only to systems built on exploitation.

    This talk explores the two paths to this awakening: the chaotic, forced path driven by crisis and pain, or the conscious, deliberate path guided by wisdom and self-work. Jung urges the choice of conscious integration, demonstrating how the awakened empath shifts from being an emotional absorber to a sovereign individual who is "selectively empathetic." Their presence acts as a powerful mirror, leading to profound life changes, including the establishment of non-negotiable boundaries and the shedding of codependent relationships. Ultimately, Jung presents the integrated empath as a key archetype for humanity's future: an individual who can hold both fierce strength and deep compassion, using their refined intelligence for healing and growth, not for harm.'

    This may have fitted in somewhere else - like the Health and Wellness forum - but I'm putting it here

    Homemade Vinegar

    I haven't tried to make vinegar before and didn't realize how simple the process is.... started my first ever vinegar about 5 days ago.... (and another jar 3 days ago)....the whole thing takes a month (or two) and the main thing is remembering to stir it every day so mould doesn't settle on the top.... I've made a lot of home made wine in the past and vinegar is the next stage when it becomes, in essence, sour wine, but the alcohol is converted in the process and home made vinegar is non alcoholic....

    The apples I used were from a friend's garden so I knew they were natural and organic... I expect wild Crab Apples would also be a good thing to use.... I've got a few apples left and I'm thinking of combining apple parts with banana skin (with a bit of the soft middle, maybe) and see how that goes.... people make vinegar out of all sorts of natural ingredients and use it for a variety of things -

    Anyway here's the video about it I watched and it goes through the whole process -

    Joe Rogan is an abysmal stand up comedian. He really is!

    I finally listened to some of his stuff and it was bad.

    And I had a revelation: I don't think anyone is that funny. We're deluged with so many "comedians" these days, and I sit thru almost all the stand up specials totally stone-faced.

    It may just be an indictment on me, I dunno. Maybe I've gotten too cynical. But I don't think so, because as a younger guy i never really liked Seinfeld or South Park or any of the stuff generally regarded as funny.

    I've watched bits and pieces of all the most popular ones out there, and I almost never laugh at all.

    This bit always makes me laugh though. It's Louis Ck on being broke. This one has some magic. 10 mins long:

    [The best way to gain control of the most intelligent powerful species on Earth]


    "The best way to gain control of the most intelligent powerful species on Earth would be to completely divide them from the love within themselves. As soon as they are old enough to understanding who they are force them into a system that teaches them that it is wrong to be yourself if yourself is different what is considered to be normal.

    Confuse them about their own biological make up so that they permanently altering their body is the way to happiness. Require them to attend an institution that makes them only require to focus on the information that is provided. Make them attend that institution from 5 until adult and repeatedly test them on the information so it becomes their truth.

    Give them an answer to everything so they never have a chance to question the official narrative. Scold them and humiliate them if they question or oppose the narrative presented. Keep reminding them of how cool their ancestors were in the past and broadcast how cool they are in the present.

    Only show them tragedies on the news so they live in fear and think the worst of one another. Convince them that the previous species was that of a wild animal.

    Make them think their very existence is so incredibly random so that they lack purpose and struggle to make sense of a Creator. Tell them that their kind is as smart as they’ve ever been so they don’t question the integrity of the system they are in.

    Provide them with artificial beauties and use them as examples of what it is to look perfect so that they are never content with their own appearance and they cannot help but compare themselves against each other.

    Create addictive digital platforms that rank by numbers so that they base their worth off of the amount of numbers they score. Don’t teach love or the 12 virtues or to love themselves for who they are.

    Create a long lasting feeling of unworthiness and self loathing."



    That's the preface to this book.

    Quote Rupert Sheldrake discusses his theory of morphic resonance, suggesting that nature has inherent memory and self-organizing systems resonate across time. He argues that memories are not stored in the brain but tuned into through morphic resonance.

    Rupert also explores the concept of the soul, linking it to the morphogenetic fields that shape bodies and behaviors. He discusses the spiritual implications of his work, including the potential for life after death and the importance of spiritual practices for human well-being. Rupert also shares his research on telepathy in dogs and cats, suggesting a deeper interconnectedness between species.

    I was binging some NDE videos again today (one of my favorite pastimes), and I realized after watching maybe hundreds of videos over the years that the NDE'ers almost never say a word about reincarnation.

    I thought this was curious!

    The only one I remember that talked about reincarnation was Eben Alexander, the brain surgeon. I'm sure there's a few more, but they represent the minority, by far.

    This has been circulating on X the last few days, and has received over three million views. The logical answer -- for maximum profit -- is of course the green door. Many chose that, then probably clicked away without thinking any more about it. But one guy decided to run with it. What exactly would happen if that green door were real, and you really did walk through it...?


    magnus
    @magnushambleton
    I chose the green door ninety-three days ago.

    At the time, it seemed obviously correct. Not even a close call. The red door offered two billion dollars immediately—a sum so large it would solve every material problem I'd ever face, fund any project I could imagine, and still leave enough to give away amounts that would meaningfully change thousands of lives. But two billion is a number. It has a fixed relationship to the economy, to the things money can buy, to the world.

    The green door offered one dollar that doubles every day.

    I remember standing there, doing the mental math. Day 30: about a billion dollars. Day 40: over a trillion. Day 50: a quadrillion. The red door would be surpassed before the first month ended, and after that, the gap would grow incomprehensibly fast. Choosing the red door would be like choosing a ham sandwich over a genie's lamp because you were hungry right now.

    So I walked through the green door.

    The first few weeks were unremarkable. I had a dollar, then two, then four. By day ten I had $512, which felt like finding money in an old jacket. By day twenty I had over a million, and I started getting calls from financial advisors I'd never contacted. By day thirty-one I had crossed the two-billion threshold—officially richer than I would have been behind the red door.

    I didn't understand what was happening until around day sixty.

    The money, you see, had to exist somewhere. Not philosophically—I mean physically. Digitally. When I checked my bank balance, a computer somewhere had to store that number. And storing the number 2^n requires n bits.

    One bit per day. That's it. That's the rate at which my fortune's representation grows. A linear function. Almost comically modest.

    But here's what I'd failed to understand about exponential growth: the value doesn't care about the representation. The bits grow linearly. The dollars they encode grow exponentially. And dollars make claims on the physical world.

    Day sixty. My balance: 2^60 dollars. About 1.15 quintillion. Roughly 1,000 times the entire global GDP. The number itself required only 60 bits to store—less than a tweet, less than this sentence, trivially small from an information-theoretic perspective.

    But money is not information. Money is a claim.

    The calls started coming from the Treasury Department. Polite, confused, increasingly frantic. They explained that the M2 money supply of the United States was approximately 21 trillion dollars. I now held about 15,000 times that amount. When I tried to spend any of it—even a tiny fraction—the transaction represented a claim on more goods and services than the entire human economy had ever produced in its history.

    "The number in your account," a Treasury official said, "is not meaningful."

    "It's in your computer," I replied.

    "The computer," she said carefully, "does not understand what the number represents."

    Day seventy-five. 2^75 dollars. I could purchase—in principle—roughly 350 million copies of the entire Earth's annual economic output. The representation remained elegant: 75 bits. Nine and a half bytes. I could write my net worth on a Post-it note in binary.
    But representations aren't wealth. Wealth is factories, farmland, human labor, time, attention, atoms arranged into useful configurations. And I had laid claim to more atoms than existed.

    This is where it gets strange.

    The global financial system is, at its core, a system of ledgers. Distributed, reconciled, audited. When the Federal Reserve's systems recorded my balance, and Chase's systems recorded my balance, and the IRS's systems recorded my balance, those numbers had to match. And they did match—trivially, easily, using a handful of bytes each.

    But then the systems tried to do things with the number.

    Calculate taxes owed. Assess systemic risk. Determine what fraction of GDP was held by a single individual. Run inflation models. Price assets in a market that now included a participant with claims exceeding the value of all other claims combined.
    Day eighty-two. The S&P 500 became undefined. Not zero, not infinity—undefined. My proportional ownership of the market, if I chose to exercise it, exceeded 100%. The shares I could theoretically purchase outnumbered the shares that existed. Financial models divide by market cap; market cap now included a term that broke the arithmetic.

    Day eighty-five. The International Monetary Fund published a paper titled "On the Representability of Post-Scarcity Claims." It concluded that exchange rates could no longer be calculated because the dollar itself had become paradoxical—simultaneously the world's reserve currency and a unit of measurement that had lost all meaning.

    My balance on day eighty-five: 2^85 dollars. Still just 85 bits. About ten and a half bytes.
    The representation remained trivial. The reality it pointed to had become impossible.

    Day ninety. I tried to buy a coffee.

    The transaction failed. Not because of insufficient funds, not because of a technical error, but because the payment system could not determine a meaningful exchange rate. My card represented a claim on approximately 10^27 dollars. The coffee cost $4.50. The ratio between these numbers—the percentage of my wealth the coffee would cost—was so small that it rounded to zero in every floating-point system on Earth. I could not pay because the act of payment required representing a number smaller than any computer could distinguish from nothing.

    I offered to pay in cash. I had a twenty.

    The barista looked at me like I'd offered to pay with a seashell.

    "Where did you get physical currency?" she asked.
    That's when I realized: I had broken cash too. The Treasury had stopped printing bills three weeks earlier. Why maintain physical currency when one account holder could—at any moment—claim more dollars than had ever been printed in human history? The symbolic relationship between paper and value had always been a polite fiction, but my existence had made the fiction impossible to maintain.

    Day ninety-three. Today.

    My balance is 2^93 dollars: approximately 10^28. About 10 billion times the estimated value of all assets on Earth. The representation requires 93 bits. Twelve bytes. Smaller than my name.

    The economy hasn't collapsed, exactly. People still trade, still work, still produce. But they've stopped using dollars. They've had to. A currency in which one person holds virtually infinite units is not a currency at all—it's a monopoly ticket that everyone has silently agreed to stop playing with.

    I keep thinking about what money actually is. It's not the bits. The bits are trivial; they always were. It's not even the paper or the gold or the entries in a ledger. Money is a shared agreement about who has claims on what. A story we tell together about value and exchange and debt.

    I broke the story.

    Not through violence, not through fraud, not through any action more dramatic than walking through a door and watching a number tick upward. Just by existing. Just by holding a claim that grew faster than the world's ability to honor it.

    The red door offered two billion dollars. A large but finite claim. A claim that fit within the story, that could be exchanged and spent and taxed and inherited. A claim the world could accommodate.

    The green door offered something else entirely: a claim that would grow until it consumed all other claims, until the very concept of claiming became incoherent.

    I still have the 93 bits. They're sitting on a server somewhere, humming along, doubling quietly at midnight. By next week they'll represent more dollars than there are atoms in the observable universe.

    And I still can't buy a coffee.

    That's very interesting to me, Mike. I have also noticed that sometimes people experiencing NDEs--going through the tunnel toward the light--are presented with their relatives who have died.

    This tends to support the Heaven/Hell narrative which has been promulgated by the ETs posing as "gods", aka Anunnaki, Archons, Ilu, Neter, Watchers, etc.

    I have recovered numerous memories between lives of going through the tunnel toward the light upon my body death. As I discovered, these are the Mantis/Insectoid ETs that mask their actual appearance by presenting themselves as glowing beings. It is done with telepathic hypnosis, which they also use to create the illusion of dead relatives, etc.

    I also discovered that the Mantis ETs worked with the Egyptian "gods" to inculcate their religious programming. They even used the same type of craft that Ra used.

    However, in the alternative, reincarnation is programmed in Hinduism, creating a caste system. According to Stewart Swerdlow, Hinduism is a Reptilian-based program of reincarnation, which created a caste system that keeps people apart in dialectic fashion.

    Therefore, these manipulative ETs have created a dialectic, divide-and-conquer strategy to keep people apart by programming various religious beliefs on this planet as well as secret societies.

    I found that Anunnaki, Reptilians, Mantis and Grays work together to create religious programming which is not only used to deceive, but also to create dialectical programming to enforce chaos and war on this planet. From my own experiences and research the Anunnaki (ancient "gods') use dialectical religious programming to keep people apart and fighting each other. This is also a function of secret societies which are also created by these nefarious ETs to keep people fighting each other. We can especially see this playing out today between Muslims and Christians.

    In my second book I referred to the Anunnaki as the "Giza Intelligence", associated with the Great Pyramid as the "All-Seeing Eye" space craft. Billy Meier stated in his notes that they were the manipulative Pleiadians, not the benevolent ones. I did not adequately make this distinction in my books. I think of the "Giza Intelligence" as being analogous to the CIA.

    In one after-death experience I was forced into a new body and transported from one of the Mantis motherships down to the Great Pyramid in the same type of ship that Ra used. I was then ordained to be the high priest and taught how to perform Reptilian-style blood drinking, human sacrifice rituals, which are now dark Masonic/satanic rituals.

    In my previous lifetime I was hoovered up into a Mantis mothership with this technology and was then sent down (without a body) to a hospital in Spokane, Washington. When I recovered the memory of my birth, I remember going through the tunnel (birth canal) toward the light at the end of the tunnel (the light in the hospital delivery room). So this is how clever the programming is.

    I also remember seeing the hospital from the west side looking eastward before I entered my current body in my mother's womb. I later found a photo of what the hospital looked like in the year I was born and it was exactly what I remembered it looked like before I entered it and my mother's womb. So this is how I know my memory was accurate.

    I cover more about this phenomenon in the "IN-BETWEEN LIVES IMPLANTS & OUT OF BODY ABDUCTIONS" in THE EYE OF RA, page 98 of the PDF (link below).

    Interesting stuff!

    It makes me wonder, when I consider the religious element: what do you think is happening when someone is demon possessed and exorcised by a Catholic priest, for instance? These are another set of videos I like to binge, much like the NDE ones. There are a few well known Catholic exorcists out there now, and I find their testimonies to be authentic.

    But if I assume religion is alien brainwashing, I don't quite know how to interpret these experiences unless it's a form of ritualistic theatre or something along those lines. Is it just some form of evil playing good cop/bad cop to sort of loosh the energy from the whole ordeal or what? Any ideas?
