Translation test
Choose one of the two texts below and translate it into Spanish.
While this is too obvious to mention, really, we want to state, just
for the record: do
not
use machine translation.
You may use all the dictionaries and consult any sources of information
you want. This is an "ability test," not a knowledge test. Our two
criteria for assessing a translation are:
- does it accurately
reflect
the original text*
and
- is it written in correct Spanish**?
We suggest you take a look at the Short
Translation
Guide before you start; it may give you ideas.
When
you are done, send us your translation here
(remember to identify yourself properly).
Have fun!
* “What is translation?
Often,
though
not
by any means
always, it is
rendering the meaning of a text into another language in the way that
the author intended the text.” (Newark, Peter (1988): A Textbook
of
Translation, Prentice Hall)

And a young lady who was one of my favorite people in the
world, a
young lady called Nancy, who just blew me away. On my radio show – I
used to have a show; I’ve had seven different radio shows in my life.
I’d like to get back on radio and do my own show again. But I had a
show on KPFK here in Los Angeles, FM station, and one night I had Nancy
on and Nancy just blew the audience away. She is so feminine, so
incredibly charming and feminine girl, talking about stuff that will
blow your mind.
Her father was in the Air Force. Her family was Air
Force, but her
father was in charge of Project Retrievables for the Air Force – the
man who was in charge of going out wherever in the world there was any
extraterrestrial activity. He was in charge in the Air Force to go
there first, and he was the boss, and she said the modus operandi
was always the same. I’ll have to make you a copy of her two... I’ve
got two two-hour interviews that will just knock you out.
You could tell this is a very charming girl, but telling you stuff that
you’re going to have to sit down to deal with.
She said wherever they would go, she always lived on
military bases.
And she said always the method was the same... there was one phone in
the house for the family, and then there was another phone, which no
one ever touched; you never used it.
When that phone would ring, no matter when – two in the morning, three
in the morning – it doesn’t matter; if that phone rang, her father had
ten minutes to be fully dressed with his briefcase, and ready to go. In
ten minutes a car would pull up and nothing was said –
no voices,
nothing was said. A knock on the door, he would walk out; he would have
military escort into the car, get in the car, and drive off, and
nothing said. Nobody knows where he’s gone, and nobody needs to know.
And so she said that many a night, they would get that phone ring, he
would get up, dress, briefcase ready to go, and they would take him
somewhere in the world where something has just happened and the Air
Force was sending him to see what just happened and they’re in charge.
And she would tell me the things that her father, and especially her
mother... She said the father would never tell her anything when she
was a child, but the mother would tell her later on in life.
She said her father would never allow her to be left
alone in the
house, ever. When he would go off during the day... they live on
base... it doesn’t matter. When he would leave the house, immediately
military would come and guard all four corners of the property. They
would sit there in cars and guard while he’s gone anywhere. If he went
to the market or whatever, they would be guarding the house, and he
would never allow her to stay at home by herself.
Here is my final anecdote from the free-energy
milieu. Someone once told me about his
early free-energy experiences. He had a
mystical awakening while a college physics student, and used his new
insight to create a working free energy prototype after he graduated,
at the federal government laboratory where he worked. It produced
more than twice the energy that went into
it. He did not tell anybody at work about
his experiment, but within hours of getting his prototype to work, he
was arrested, his prototype was confiscated, and he was fired from his
job. When he tried to apply for another
job at the university that hosted the laboratory, he was incarcerated
again and interrogated. He was dazed when
released. He moved hundreds of miles away
and went into hiding, used a false name and rebuilt his prototype in
a friend’s house. Just as he was about to
test it, the prototype was stolen, along with the related
documentation. He then stopped trying to make prototypes, and
his free-energy path has since taken a different direction. When
I heard him say that, I imagined that the
Big Boys must have technology that can detect when anybody on earth
taps into that energy field. In 2005, I
heard from somebody whose opinion I respect on these matters, and he
said that, indeed, the Big Boys have satellites in orbit that can tell
when anybody taps into that field. Then they send their “men in
black” after them to eliminate the threat of free energy.
The technology the spooks possess is
apparently about a hundred years ahead of what is on the market
today. The American military has technology that is "only" about
ten years ahead of what is on today's market. The spooks
apparently have technology that can create holographic illusions that
the people think are real events, not virtual reality. That is in
the "way out" category not explored much on this site, because I have
tried presenting information that people can pursue, and have avoided
impossible-to-demonstrate information that is usually derided as
"conspiracy theory."
That
all-too-real scenario of the Big Boys’ global control mechanism can
seem depressing, but if enough people began waking up and caring about
something beyond their egocentric existences, the Big Boys could not
maintain their tyrannical grip for long. Finding and educating
those people was why I made my website.
