Here and Now...What's Happening?

The voicing of the offer (worded in this specific example) was coming from a front for 700 people, average of 20 billion under each outfit, total 14 trillion assets, and -stay private, out of the public eye. That was the offer.

Elon's return, was basically an answer of 'no'..and as advice to people trying to steer their way through this roiling insanity of continual episodes of predators and hidden sides, blockages, feints, etc...is:

If one has even the slightest question of the offer, at all, and/or there is a component of an unknown ....never touch it -under any circumstances.

Yeah, been there myself. Husky voice on the phone....'we have all the money in the world....let us secure your bank account.'

Nah, don't think so.
Had lots of friends who got involved, however, who not only lost their freedom, but even their souls.
Never stopped bitching about their backers, even though without them they could never have had their million pound fashion shows.
In fashion the trap is bad because those investors come straight from the ranks of the mafia, who have a desire to go legal, but are starry-eyed about the fashion world, and especially the models, and such.....

There's quite a bit of this in France, an idea apparently imported from Holland. In Le Havre, the student halls of residence are made of containers.

Has May 25 any symbolical value?

On that day, there's "elections" in the "EU", in the Ukraine, and Colombia (something else, anyone?)

May 24th - 26th is a three weekend in celebration Memorial Day that falls on the Monday, May 26th.

Memorial Day is a US federal holiday wherein the men and women who died while serving in the United States Armed Forces are remembered.[1] The holiday, which is celebrated every year on the final Monday of May,[2] was formerly known as Decoration Day and originated after the American Civil War to commemorate the Union and Confederate soldiers who died in the Civil War. By the 20th century, Memorial Day had been extended to honor all Americans who have died while in the military service.[3]…

Here’s another one:

Between 15th - 25th of May
European Days of Action

"Solidarity beyond boders: from the May of solidarity to the march for freedom, towards new transnational struggles"

Between 15th and 25th of May decentralized actions will take place
against the programs of austerity and privatizations, against
exploitation and precarization. 17th of May will see simultanous
mobilisations in many european cities in the perspective of a
transnational movement for democracy, solidarity and commons beyond
borders. One day later, at 18th of May, the march for freedom will start
in Strassbourg. This protest against the EU-borderregime is initiated by
an alliance of migrants and refugee groups from various european
countries. After more than 450 km across the borders of several European
countries the march will reach Brussels on 20th of June. There, a week
of actions will follow against the EU migration summit under the slogans
of equality, dignity and social justice. The Brussels program includes a
main demonstration on 26th of June and an alternative summit about the
future of the migrationrelated struggles on 27th of June.

Thanks, Pauler.


The 24th is also Fred's birthday, and sees the worldwide March against Monsanto this year. I'll attend and feel honoured.

Anyone else here, who is like me, out of touch with their feelings?

I keep adding and deleting this... Melodramatic, some might say. But for me, it's helping me move on... Thank you.

Wolfie passed one month and one day today. I had been his ears and eyes since last fall, by the end he was emotionally taunted by shadows of light and dark when I’d carry him on walks. It was the patchwork puppy pads that lined the kitchen floor and two accidents in his comfy beds that made me ask is this quality life? Should I wait until the end of summer?

Fortunately, the deadline for Wolfie’s mandatory rabies shot came up. And the doctor noted that his weigh dropped from 5 1/2 lbs to 4 1/2 lbs, after I went down the list. She continue about the quality of life, and the rest I missed because my ears wouldn’t co-operate. They came back on line when I heard something about it was time for Wolfie to go. I managed a whispered reply, “Yes, thank you. It’s time. Thank you.”

I still hear Wolfie shake his tags, make funny noises, feel him on my lap, or sense him in bed. And there are times every day we OBE together to all his favorite places. Only he’s his old puppy self with a grin from ear to ear, zipping around without restriction.

I’m at a cross roads. It’s the first time I’ve been completely alone since in 1968: no cats, dogs, kids, plants, fish, reptiles, nor husband (x's 2). There was a part of me that felt relief that I had no worry, no reason to stay. I’ve accomplished all I need to. I’m complete in that sense.

But out of nowhere, I got this second wind. I feel like a racehorse at the starting gate. It’s all I can do to sit and be still. All I know is that I’m gearing up for the next phase and all life is coming with me. Where? That part will reveal itself as it always has. And I’ve been tossing out bags and bags of stuff. “Lightening my load,” answers the Universe.

So here’s one last photo-opp of my Little Guy.

Even had he lived to 25 it would still hurt to lose him.

That whole pet scene... my life would have been so different if I had not become an animal lover.
The worries each time we travel, etc. and this last time in Barbados, yet another cat found me...
I don't know how that happens.
It belongs to my in-laws who live next door, but their dogs rule all the comfort zones,
so it came over to my little apartment. I never fed her, but all she wanted was affection.
I kept the apartment, and we will continue our relationship when I return there in July.
My cats here have become used to being abandoned- anyway, there are always people here who take good care of them.

I haven't commented on this thread in a while...but I have been following it.

May 25th is my birthday. Instead of receiving things for my birthdays or seeking attention, I choose to do good deeds for people. The way I see it is that I was born on this planet to help people and make it a better place...not receive materialistic treasures or have people do things for me because of a "special day." My service-to-others orientation cannot resist...and I hope that this one day becomes a trend for people of planet Earth.

This year I turn 24. I have 24 good deeds (at least!) to do for people and I am looking forward to it.

Here the big day is June 6th, the 70th anniversary of D-Day, and probably the last round-number one for the veterans. Hence they’re making a bigger thing of it than usual. That means more heads of state here at Omaha Beach (Obama Beach, as someone is bound to say again), and cars allowed only for good reason with a special pass. We’ve already had a couple of helicopters fly up and down the coast US presidential style – whichever one he’s supposed to be in, he’s in the other one.

I've been a little under the weather today and yesterday, but then again there's a rainy and grey weather. It always tends to affect my mood... Some days are good and others are less, that's how life works I suppose. Thanks to astrology I have learned that the universe certainly always has many things in store for us. Speaking of astrology, I read that the Moon is in Virgo, also this...

"Sun opposition Saturn. Our confidence is undermined by feelings of doubt, pessimism, or guilt. Feeling blocked, encountering obstacles to progress, and inhibitions are prominent under this influence. A heavy dose of realism seems forced upon us under this influence, but our efforts to measure up to expectations can ultimately increase our confidence in our ability to be responsible for ourselves. This influence is a somber one."

From the mainstream science magazine New Scientist (9 April 1978) :

THE SAUCER AT PLATFORM 9…
Anyone spurred on by the current interest in flying saucers to think about building one for himself could do little better than turn to BP 1 310 990. This patent, which describes an atomic-powered, saucer-shaped space vehicle, was published in 1970. Since then the patentee, none other the British Rail, has not paid the renewal fees so the patent has lapsed, meaning anyone is allowed to construct the saucer according to the specifications. According to these, powerful electromagnets deflect charged particles produced by a thermo-nuclear fusion reaction to create lift and drive. Electrodes in the pulsed field are bombarded by charged particles and generate electric power for the craft. BR claimed that the idea was far less crazy than it sounded and that the inventor was experienced in nuclear physics.

Let's set up shop, Araucaria : )

Well, you've built the garage eaglespirit, but do you have the expertise in nuclear physics (can't say I have)?

Sure You do : ) ...thermo-nuclear fusion Spirit reaction.
We'll get 'er done...I'll be the test pilot, Haha!!

OK, you can pick me up here. We have some very nice landing beaches and when they stop remembering the good folk of 1944, they will remember how the eagle has landed etc. on the new D-Day (disclosure day) of Y Year of E Era. We can then pick up the rest of the villagers and go have a celebration in Barbados or somewhere.

This cartoon, showing the cliff....
Much to ponder here.
The photograph above it was taken from one of the tallest cliffs in Barbados.
The ocean looks calm there, but sometimes huge waves appear out of nowhere.

I nearly lost my life in those waves, and so I felt compelled to draw this pastel drawing, from up there. Around 1982.
And this was around the time in my life that I changed everything...from the material girl I had been before to the enlightenment freak I was to become....



And then all my artistic endeavors stopped, replaced by my spiritual search,
except I still try to make a bit of money to pay for my airline tickets with my jewelry designs.
