It is a toxicity. It sets a bad example for the veracity of this vitally important story. </span></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><span><br /></span></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><span>See, the "monster" is NOT</span><span> a ridiculous-looking apparition: </span><span>claws-waving at the end of skeletal arms, </span><span>wearing a sweet-sixteen pixie dress, and cloaked with a Dracula hood. This does us <b><i><u>all</u></i></b> a disservice. Let's put this to bed or <i>we're</i> on the path to be the monsters in the story, ourselves! ...And we kinda' were, eh? We can reflect on whose president commanded his military to shoot UFOs down at the start and then who was waving murderous shotguns around at the <i>results</i>... but we digress too early...</span></span></div><span style="font-size: large;"><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div> <div style="text-align: justify;">These current artisans, persons taking liberties with their own renditions of the "Monster," for fun and profit, are only adding insult to injury, one finds! They furiously work to keep the disingenuous and invalidating folklore alive regarding a very serious incident documented to have <i><u>actually</u></i> occurred. ...An incident perhaps foreshadowing humanity's new existentiality! ...Or its missed opportunity to secure same!</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;">Verily, a quick internet search will show the reader how many <i>absurd </i>and <i>incorrect </i>renditions of the "Flatwoods Monster" there are, out there! It is absolutely and regrettably pitiful!</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;">Furthermore, these individuals are profiting from their ridiculous-looking portrayals of the "Flatwoods Monster" by producing trading cards, action figures, statues, posters, and patches... a sweet and sour candy to name only a few. Once again, <i>pitiful</i>!</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;">The original drawing of the "Flatwoods Monster" was shown on the TV talk show "<b>We The People</b>," we'll recall from an earlier article. This program was aired from New York, remember, on September 19, 1952, <i>one week after the encounter</i>, as has been written about on this site. The risible drawing we beat to death here opened up the TV show even then accompanied by eerie-woo-woo-climax-music, <i>just</i> before firsthand witnesses <i>Mrs. May</i>, <i>Gene Lemon</i>, and first responder, reporter <i>A. Lee Stewart</i>, Jr., were to be interviewed.</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;">Prior to the show being aired, we remind the constant reader, a sketch artist sat down in the studio and interviewed witnesses Mrs. May and Gene Lemon, as has been written. Briefly, during that interview, the artist simultaneously drew, too hurriedly by half, the "Flatwoods Monster" on a poster board from their descriptions... <i>but HERE was the major problem!</i> The artist couldn't read a newspaper article, articles which had alerted "<b>We The People</b>," in the first place?!</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><i>The artist had otherwise totally misinterpreted what was told to him by the two witnesses!</i> When all was finished, the artist's portrayal of the entity was fundamentally incorrect and looked nothing like the actual subject being described to him! Key point! This rendering is utterly dismissible... where Feschino's renderings are, and decidedly, not! Subsequently? The incorrect drawing was shown to a nationwide audience that night and history, <i>if inaccurate and risible</i>, was forged...</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;">Now, let's set the record straight by letting the public know what the "Flatwoods Monster" actually was... It was a <i>machine</i>, NOT a "Monster." More on that later.</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;">Credentialed illustrator Frank Feschino, Jr. researched this incident for decades and worked with the <i>actual</i> "Flatwoods Monster" witnesses, all still sharp and sincere. He sat with them on many occasions, did sketches and comprehensive drawings as he spoke with them, and then worked his way into full-color illustrations. His illustrations correctly portray the <i>true</i> likeness of the so-called "Flatwoods Monster," which are more accurate by far than the TV artist portrayed it back in 1952, goes without saying. The following statements were told to Frank by Witnesses Freddie May and Mrs. May... and it is added that these are encounter descriptions published in major newspapers PRIOR to the "<b>We The People</b>" episode and should have keyed an illustrator to a more accurate rendering:</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;">Freddie May Stated: "<i>It was mechanical; it was not alive. Maybe inside of the thing there could have been something that was alive. What I saw was either a small spaceship or suit of some kind. Something it was wearing. It was mechanical...The figure was made of metal. Now, I was not half the size of it.</i>" </div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;">Additionally, Freddie explained what the so-called arms and claws were that the "<b>We The People</b>" TV show sketch artist <i>very </i>incorrectly portrayed, "<i>There was something in the upper torso area that I could see. From what I saw, they could have been antennae.</i>" He also explained what was misinterpreted as being eyes on the facial area of the head, "<i>The eyes were portholes.</i>" Freddie then explained what was portrayed as a cloth hood surrounding the head, "<i>Over the head was a big ace of spades covering.</i>" He stated, "<i>I would describe it as a helmet.</i>"</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;">Mrs. Kathleen May Stated: "<i>We came up on it. We got close enough to it so I could see exactly what it was and we all saw the same thing. I was as close to it as the length of a car, a small car...It looked more metallic. It was just kind of floating; it was about a foot to a foot and a half off the ground. The head and face were round. The head was a red color. It has great big eyes, portholes, or whatever you want to call them, and basically lit up. It was a funny-looking orange in the portholes. It looked like there'd be lights behind them.</i>" </div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><table align="center" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><tbody><tr><td style="text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/a/AVvXsEgt_kj8KbXt2zsHZUJYwmRt6SOARHF_OFo4Bj31E0XLHkJWjwzbyMBSwJcCkyQfrp6oOdeIx__eyp4kMv7_Af7p5dk4jHgkoxAZPe0-v8DgdYBBshQMqrSdHP9TVQLUotvikMfz4S3pOJwGwR4T_6OgvkNE92jjImKKc_2Rd546oiaAC_CUiibg" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><img alt="" data-original-height="632" data-original-width="800" height="375" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/a/AVvXsEgt_kj8KbXt2zsHZUJYwmRt6SOARHF_OFo4Bj31E0XLHkJWjwzbyMBSwJcCkyQfrp6oOdeIx__eyp4kMv7_Af7p5dk4jHgkoxAZPe0-v8DgdYBBshQMqrSdHP9TVQLUotvikMfz4S3pOJwGwR4T_6OgvkNE92jjImKKc_2Rd546oiaAC_CUiibg=w475-h375" width="475" /></a></td></tr><tr><td class="tr-caption" style="text-align: center;"><b><i>Kathleen May with the original rendering...</i></b></td></tr></tbody></table><br />She went on to explain the covering over the head, "<i>Over the top of its head, was a great big black thing that looked like the ace of spades.</i>" Additionally, Mrs. May talked about the so-called claws, "<i>It looked like, something like... antennae sticking out from it, between the body and the head."</i></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;">The entire story with all the details can be read in Chapter 5 of Frank's book, "MONSTER OR MACHINE. In closing, Frank is a graduate of Paier College of Art in Connecticut where he majored in Illustration. An aside...</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;">During his four-year program, he was trained by master artists Kenneth Davies, John Massimino, and Rudolph Zallinger. These are significant names in artistry. </div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;">Frank once shared, "<i>When I was a student at Paier, if I had ever pulled a blunder and did a shi**y drawing like the "We The People" artist did in 1952, I would have been thrown out of class.</i>" He would add, "<i>My teachers were tough. No nonsense. Davies was my illustration teacher, Massimino was my painting instructor and Zallinger was my portrait painting teacher. I had the best teachers around. That TV artist was so bad, he wouldn't have been accepted into a draw-by-numbers group, much less Paier.</i>"</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;">Finally, some things to remember about the "monster." It is the <i>supported </i>conjecture that this was a being from another world shot out of the sky on presidential orders. In fact, this was the end of a long "Summer Of Saucers" of jet scrambles on UFOs, lost men and equipment, collateral damage vis a vis crashed jets, and the "lurid duels with death" that Air Force Blue Book Chief Major Ruppelt alluded to in his book. </div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><b><i>Despite</i></b> all this, the monster refrained from molesting the witnesses in any manner, apart from scaring them away. A short few hours later there would be angry men crawling those hills on the Fisher farm with rifles and shotguns and still able to smell the acrid smell of the "monster." The monster got away... good?</div></span>Alfred Lehmberghttp://www.blogger.com/profile/02028589165474437987noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10137551.post-32987045134007693582024-03-08T14:01:00.000-05:002024-03-08T14:01:04.047-05:00...Folk Wronged...<div><br /></div><div><br /></div><br /><div><a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_j7bcGmQbZDg/RnUqgHSvSlI/AAAAAAAAAHA/DrbiYBD0Zxg/s1600-h/hyper102b.jpg"></a><div><div style="text-align: center;"><div class="separator" style="clear: both;

titled "<i>Encounter</i>" from 1960, here is some interesting back-story on that compelling TV show.

episodes were <i>dramatizations </i>of stories believed to have <i>actually
</i>occurred. The provenance of these programs was truth, we discover, howsoever dramatized! This is unlike the more famous "<i>Twilight Zone</i>," which was fantasy and science fiction when it was not sane social commentary. </span><span face="Arial, sans-serif" style="color: #0f1111;"> </span></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: 0in; text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><span face=""Arial",sans-serif" style="color: #0f1111; mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman"; mso-font-kerning: 0pt; mso-ligatures: none;">After
doing a deep dive into the "<i>Encounter</i>" episode involving a pilot who
went missing during a UFO encounter (!), there are discovered many references made throughout
this episode which can be traced back, <i>readily</i>, to the books of UFO researcher, Major
Donald Keyoe. </span><span style="color: #0f1111;">Keyhoe is not remotely credited. </span><span style="color: #0f1111;">Everything is connected. </span><i style="color: #0f1111;">Nothing</i><span style="color: #0f1111;"> happens once.</span></span></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: 0in; text-align: justify;"><span face="Arial, sans-serif" style="color: #0f1111; font-size: large;"><span>At the 16:18 to 1</span><span>6:25 point of the dramatization, the title of the book
mentioned is, "<i>Visitors From Outer Space</i>." Major Keyhoe's 1953 seminal book is actually titled, "<i><b>Flying Saucers From Outer Space</b></i>." </span></span></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: 0in; text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><span face="Arial, sans-serif" style="color: #0f1111;"><span>This is a legal distortion so as not to use the </span></span><i style="color: #0f1111; font-family: Arial, sans-serif;">actual</i><span face="Arial, sans-serif" style="color: #0f1111;"><span> title of the book in the episode. Chris Carter of X-files would do the same thing later on... not give credit... (For
the record, by the way, and we digress, but Major Keyhoe writes about the "</span></span><i style="color: #0f1111; font-family: Arial, sans-serif;">Flatwoods Monster</i><span face="Arial, sans-serif" style="color: #0f1111;"><span>"
incident in Chapter 7 of "<i>Flying Saucers From Outer
Space</i>." This is one of the <i>earliest</i> published accounts of the renowned 1952
Flatwoods incident!) </span></span><span face="Arial, sans-serif" style="color: #0f1111;"> </span></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: 0in; text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><span face=""Arial",sans-serif" style="color: #0f1111; mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman"; mso-font-kerning: 0pt; mso-ligatures: none;">...Back at the Ranch? The
cigar-shaped UFO and the "Angel's Hair" found beneath the
area of the encounter on the ground... and <i>festooning </i>the trees in </span><span face="Arial, sans-serif" style="color: #0f1111;">Keyhoe's book</span><span face=""Arial",sans-serif" style="color: #0f1111; mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman"; mso-font-kerning: 0pt; mso-ligatures: none;">? These are <b><i>primary</i></b> parts of the
storyline for OSB's "Encounter" episode! This information MUST have been taken from Donald Keyhoe's book, "<b>The Flying Saucer Conspiracy</b>"! Chapter 16, titled "Angels Hair," we'd have it, was likely the primary source of many of
the segments <i>used </i>in the episode! <i>Uncredited</i> source, as we'd alluded above.</span><span face="Arial, sans-serif" style="color: #0f1111;"> </span></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: 0in; text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><span face="Arial, sans-serif" style="color: #0f1111;"><span>The
cigar-shaped UFO discussed between 7:10 & </span><span>8:10 in the film appears for that
chapter on page 227 of Keyhoe's book. Keyhoe states, "</span><i>The '52 report had
stated that hundreds of citizens in northern France had watched a huge
cigar-shaped machine escorted by a squadron of flying discs. As the formation
speeded up, a trail of angel's hair was seen to come down from the tail of the
mothership.</i><span>" The segment in this episode when the angel's hair is found on
the ground can be seen between 14:02 & </span><span>15:02. This is during the "helicopter's search
and rescue effort." </span></span><span face="Arial, sans-serif" style="color: #0f1111;"> </span></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: 0in; text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><span face=""Arial",sans-serif" style="color: #0f1111; mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman"; mso-font-kerning: 0pt; mso-ligatures: none;">Also
on page 227 in Keyhoe's "Angels Hair" chapter, and only two paragraphs
later at the bottom of the page, Keyhoe writes about an angel's hair incident
concerning the "April 15, 1953 news report from Auckland, New
Zealand." In the cited chapter on page 227 going on to page 228, Keyhoe
writes, "<i>On November 16, 1953, a now familiar trail of angel's hair was
seen in the San Fernando Valley, just after a saucer passed over the
area.</i>"</span><span face="Arial, sans-serif" style="color: #0f1111;"> </span></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: 0in; text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><span face="Arial, sans-serif" style="color: #0f1111;"><span>Keyhoe
quotes the local newspaper headline "</span></span><i style="color: #0f1111; font-family: Arial, sans-serif;">Valley Mystery Craft Spins Web.</i><span face="Arial, sans-serif" style="color: #0f1111;"><span>”
Under the byline of </span></span><b style="color: #0f1111; font-family: Arial, sans-serif;">Gordon Grant</b><span face="Arial, sans-serif" style="color: #0f1111;"><span>... he writes, "</span></span><i style="color: #0f1111; font-family: Arial, sans-serif;">It is reported to have streamed like a lacy
ribbon from a mysterious craft that sped over the valley.</i><span face="Arial, sans-serif" style="color: #0f1111;"><span>" These two
incidents are referenced directly and spoken about in the 15:30 to </span><span>16:16 frame of
the OSB episode.</span></span><span face="Arial, sans-serif" style="color: #0f1111;"> </span></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: 0in; text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><span face="Arial, sans-serif" style="color: #0f1111;"><span>Also
on page 227, Keyhoe writes about the angel's hair after it is handled and
states, "</span></span><span style="color: #0f1111; font-family: Arial, sans-serif;"><b>As in the <u>other</u> cases [...]</b><i> the substance quickly disintegrated when
handled.</i></span><span face="Arial, sans-serif" style="color: #0f1111;"><span>" [<i>In bold by the authors, "angel hair" was not a one-off!</i>] The aforementioned is talked about in the episode between 17:12 & </span><span>17:36. It

in Donald Keyhoe's same book, "<b>The Flying Saucer Conspiracy</b>," he
opens up Chapter 1, titled <b>Blackout</b>, with the "<i>Kinross incident</i>" of 1953.
Throughout this chapter, Keyhoe talks effusively about this affair involving an
F-89C Scorpion fighter jet from Kinross Field, Michigan... <i>vanishing while on a
UFO intercept over Lake Superior, near Soo-locks</i>! Ground Control intercept
tracked the jet and a UFO as two separate blips on their radar screens until
the two blips intermixed! Keyhoe stated, "<i>The two blips suddenly merged into
one... For a moment longer the huge, ominous blip remained on the glass. Then it
quickly went off the scope.</i>"</span><span face="Arial, sans-serif" style="color: #0f1111;"> This shiznit <i>happened</i>, reader!</span></span></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: 0in; text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">In the final chapter, Chapter 19, which is titled, "<i>The Vanishing Planes</i>," page 288 begins by saying, "<i>Since November of '53, the Kinross mystery had haunted me. I too had felt it might be the key to the flying saucer mystery.</i>" Keyhoe reiterates and writes about this merge stating, "<i>Ground Control saw one blip move off the scope</i>." This segment of Keyhoe's writing about the Kinross incident appears in the "OSB" episode between 20:30 & 21:05.</span></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: 0in; text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><span face=""Arial",sans-serif" style="color: #0f1111; mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman"; mso-font-kerning: 0pt; mso-ligatures: none;">One
theory about the missing Kinross jet appears in Keyhoe's same book. Keyhoe talks <i>ephemerally </i>about a contact he has in Washington and with which he <i>frequently</i> spoke in private about
UFOs.</span><span face="Arial, sans-serif" style="color: #0f1111;"> It is well established that Keyhoe had connections.</span></span></p>

writes, "<i>A well-known aeronautical engineer had helped me privately since
'49. His technical opinions, under the name of Paul Redell, had appeared in my
first book, '<b>The Flying Saucers Are Real</b>.' As an aircraft representative,
Redell had good contacts in the armed services and outside. More than once he'd

talked to Keyhoe about UFOs kidnapping pilots and their planes</i>. About
that strangely missing Kinross F-89 jet, the <i>haunted</i>, remember, Keyhoe, questioned Redell in exasperation, "<i>How could the
saucer creatures manage it</i>?" Redell answered, "<i>They'd have to cut off
the plane's engine, but they could probably do that with an electromagnetic
beam. And by gradually increasing the G-field they could draw the F-89 to the
saucer</i>." ...Wait... what?<o:p></o:p></span></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: 0in; text-align: justify;"><span face="Arial, sans-serif" style="color: #0f1111; font-size: large;">Then, as if he's not making <i>enough</i> of a shocking statement, Mr. Redell makes a <i>sobering </i>yet <i>more </i>shocking statement... <i>still</i>!

responded, "<i>You mean until they had learned each other's language?</i>"
Redell replied, "<i>I suppose so. Maybe they'd use sign language at first.
Finally, they'd understand each other. It would be a first step toward the
meeting of two worlds.</i>" Keyhoe responded, "<i>It's a frightening thought
Paul.</i>" Paul Redell summed up, "<i>I know it's shocking, but it's better
than an attack. And if it's the answer in the Kinross case, then it could
explain some of the other cases as well.</i>"</span></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: 0in; text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><span face="Arial, sans-serif" style="color: #0f1111;">One can presume that the desired communication was not established enroute to a meeting of two worlds?

It is lowly positioned in a periodic table we humans use, perhaps, to help us reinforce our infuriatingly pathetic and arrogant—<i>our obstinately maintained</i>—ignorance... regarding the world in which we live. This would be an especially <b><i>vile </i></b>ignorance regarding our inability to <b><i><a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Grok" target="_blank">grok</a> </i></b>stuff in the aggregate multi-verse without the invariable "malice aforethought"... See, it's all "bigger" than we knew, know, or <i>can </i>know, eh? Gawd, but we're stupid, and worse than that, we're "stupid" <b><i>knowing</i></b> better. That's what I mean by "malice aforethought."</span><br />
</span><ul>
<li><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></li>
</ul>
<span style="font-size: large;"><span>Beyond the suppositions regarding conclusions of the aforementioned ignorance? A silicon atom <em>fuses</em> with an adjacent silicon atom to produce <b><i>noble Iron</i></b> in stars <em>bigger</em> than human imagination!</span><br />
</span><ul>
<li><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></li>
</ul>
<span style="font-size: large;"><span><span>Forgetting for a moment its extraordinary potential in an equally "magical" <em>magnetism**</em>... Iron also has an elusive physicality that may not be fully appreciated. See, as Iron is produced in these mind-numbingly <strong><em>monstrous</em></strong> stars, a produced-from-nothing 'ability' materializes in the newly formed gargantuan Iron crystal at the center of that star—as if by sorcery—to <em>magically</em> <em>suck up the ambient heat in a profound and mysterious way</em>! </span></span>Some unique synergy is realized in the new iron not present in the old silicon turning it into a heat sink just not there before. Where does the heat go? </span></div><div><ul>
<li><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></li>
</ul>
<span style="font-size: large;"><span>Verily, this instantaneous and newly formed "heat sink," where none was before we're reminded, sucks up ambient heat exponentially like a big cake of dry ice magically appearing at the center of a campfire! The "fire" goes, decidedly and abruptly, <strong><em>out</em></strong>! </span></span></div><div><ul style="text-align: left;"><li><br /></li></ul></div><div><span style="font-size: large;"><span><b><i>...Begins the productive apocalypse!</i></b></span><br />
</span><ul>
<li><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></li>
</ul>
<span style="font-size: large;"><span>Concerning the star? It was the anxious activity of a <i>furious fusion fire</i> keeping trillions upon trillions of tons of degenerate matter aloft, at all, in the star's ablating and inflated atmosphere... in the first place! That awful fire's abrupt cessation consequently causes an <strong><em>implosion</em></strong> as the previously expanding energy, the energized matter allowing for the stellar <i>inflation</i> at all, suddenly has nowhere to go... but <i>down</i>. "Down" is from a big place on a star...</span><br />
</span><ul>
<li><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></li>
</ul>
<span style="font-size: large;"><span>Said stellar matter is crushed to a central point (<i>and beyond?</i>) at a speed approaching the speed of light...<>...and then, at last...</span></span></div><div><span style="font-size: large;"><span><blockquote style="text-align: center;"><b><i>—the terrible "irresistible force" meeting the equally terrible "immovable object," its own self—</i></b></blockquote></span></span></div><div><span style="font-size: large;"><span>...there<i> </i>comes then the titanic and re-percussive <em style="font-weight: bold;">explosion (</em><em>more understatement)</em><em style="font-weight: bold;">, </em>an explosion transcending <i>time</i>, <i>space</i>, and as I said, <i>imagination</i>. The accelerated matter hits the center point and... well, "<em>rebounds" </em>won't do the production justice, at all... words fail...</span><br />
</span><ul>
<li><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></li>
</ul>
<span style="font-size: large;"><span>Remains... it is in <strong><em>this</em></strong> terrific and titanic if rebounding explosion that all the rest of a material reality is hammered out and wrought—<b><i>fused</i></b> into being—all that is known and unknown, all that was, is, and will ever be. From a lover's lips to huge warships, reader—scattered to hungry space... <i>all a result of the creation of Iron</i>. Joni sang of billion-year-old carbon only to <b><i><u>breathe</u></i></b> on the subject of this magnificent creation!</span><br />
</span><ul>
<li><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></li>
</ul>
<span style="font-size: large;">Spider Robinson, humanist and writer, once wrote: "God is an iron." I would amend that slightly to say that God probably IS Iron. But for the miracle of Iron's creation as a creator, all that we know, will know, and will NEVER know, would simply cease to be. See, it's the element iron doing the heavy lifting in THIS universe. That's a god's power. </span><br />

We're conditioned that way—trained to self-reliance! We </span><b style="white-space-collapse: preserve;"><i>all </i></b><span style="white-space-collapse: preserve;">understand this, even to a man and woman. ...Reason and logic then dictates that a gift-</span><i style="white-space-collapse: preserve;">receiving</i><span style="white-space-collapse: preserve;"> person is not a </span><i style="white-space-collapse: preserve;">served </i><span style="white-space-collapse: preserve;">person but a person made indebted or even enslaved.

The Republicans would appear to be <i>correct</i>.</span></span></p><p><span style="font-size: large;"><span style="white-space-collapse: preserve;">Well, no. They would be correct only if Social Security was a <i>dole </i>or a <i>gift</i> or a <i>handout</i>... an "<i>initiation</i>" and not a "<span style="font-family: verdana;">reaction</span>." It <b><i>is</i></b> a </span><span style="font-family: verdana; white-space-collapse: preserve;">reaction!</span><span style="white-space-collapse: preserve;"> See, you earned every effin <i>cent</i>. <b>You </b>paid DEAR into it, citizen, and Social Security (forgetting Medicare) have only <i>ever </i>been the wages that your employer <i>should </i>have been paying you!!! Do you get that!! Jesus H. Christ!</span></span></p><p><span style="font-size: large;"><span style="white-space-collapse: preserve;">It is a </span><span style="font-family: verdana; white-space-collapse: preserve;">reaction</span><span style="white-space-collapse: preserve;"> to Walmart/McDonald's like corporations paying slaves wages to harried employees so taxpayers have to pick up the dime via Food Stamps and Medicaid later on.</span></span></p><div><span style="font-size: large;"><span><br /><span style="white-space-collapse: preserve;">It is a </span></span><span style="font-family: verdana; white-space-collapse: preserve;"><b>reaction</b></span><span><span style="white-space-collapse: preserve;"> to <i>dwindling </i>pensions and health benefits, from predatory transnationals to middle-class families quickly sliding to the squalor-status of the working poor!</span><br /><br /><span style="white-space-collapse: preserve;">It is a </span></span><span style="font-family: verdana; white-space-collapse: preserve;"><b>reaction</b></span><span><span style="white-space-collapse: preserve;"> to decades of wealth trickling decidedly <b>UP</b> since <b><i>Reagan</i></b>, while foreclosures, investment failure, vulture capitalists, degraded Unions, and crushing debt rain down on people "beneath" them. True story!</span><br /><br /><span style="white-space-collapse: preserve;">It is a </span></span><span style="font-family: verdana; white-space-collapse: preserve;"><b>reaction</b></span><span><span style="white-space-collapse: preserve;"> to privileged Americans <b><i><u>not</u></i></b> proud to pay a fair share and even gaming the system to pay less, hide assets, and weaponize monetary loopholes placed there, specifically, for their use! TЯUMP bragged to Hillary Clinton in a presidential debate that availing himself of these "legal" cheats made him... "smart." True story!</span></span></span></div><div><span style="font-size: large;"><span><br /><span style="white-space-collapse: preserve;">It is a </span></span><span style="font-family: verdana; white-space-collapse: preserve;"><b>reaction</b> </span><span><span style="white-space-collapse: preserve;">to only using as an <i>excuse</i> the fact that "<i>people don't respect and appreciate what they haven't worked for</i>"... to abuse people, short-change people, cheat people, and prey upon people for an unethical pecuniary gain. True story!</span><br /><br /><span style="white-space-collapse: preserve;">Social security is not a gift or a handout. An employer pays the wages he <b><i><u>should</u></i></b> have been paying the employee and the employee ponies up a huge chunk in addition, as already pointed out. It is earned! Wholly, entirely, and utterly!</span><br /><span style="white-space-collapse: preserve;"> </span><br /><span style="white-space-collapse: preserve;">It is a <i>humane</i> reaction by people of principle in our Federal Government to reparate working Americans of the 99% for the thievery, graft, and predations of PIRATES in the 1%... endured since the founders of this Nation! It <b><i><u>is</u></i></b> earned, morally and ethically!</span><br /><br /><span style="white-space-collapse: preserve;">Republicans very profitably confuse apples and oranges to come up with their own soiled adult diaper. At <b><i>best</i></b> they are disingenuous; at <b><i>worst</i></b> they are <i>faithless </i>hypocrites, <i>craven </i>liars, and <i>gloating </i>psychopaths. That's still lipstick on a pig!</span><br /><br /><span style="white-space-collapse: preserve;">Expand Social Security. We wouldn't need to if a reasonable employer paid a reasonable wage. Why... it may be immutable that they cannot be reasonable? Hence, Social Security becomes necessary. Yes! It becomes a <i>necessity</i>!</span><br /><br /><span style="white-space-collapse: preserve;">I'm a veteran of air combat and hold a Bronze Star, so step off as regards my patriotism, but it occurs to me that the Socialist aspects of our National Society are the only thing making the United States, and <i>remotely</i>, a worthwhile Country to live in, at all.</span><br /><span style="white-space-collapse: preserve;"> </span><br /><span style="white-space-collapse: preserve;">At 75, I've lived frugally, saved my money, and secured a military pension ... but it's the <i>socialism</i> of Social Security and Medicare that allows me <i>ANY</i>. <i>Dignity</i>. <i>At all</i>.</span><br /><span style="white-space-collapse: preserve;"> </span><br /><span style="white-space-collapse: preserve;">I offer we might embrace that which has proved to be worthwhile and eschew that which would relieve us of same.

This was around the time one <b>Abraham</b> was called out of Chaldean <b>Ur</b> to the land of <b>Canaan</b>, it is alleged, to a home "his God said" he could provide for him.

To illustrate this integrity:</span></p><blockquote style="background-color: white; color: #ffff22;"><blockquote><p></p><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><span style="color: black;"><i>It may be stated categorically that no</i></span></span></div><span style="color: black; font-size: large;"><div style="font-style: italic; text-align: justify;">archeological discovery has ever controverted</div><div style="font-style: italic; text-align: justify;">a [Jewish history] reference.

Indeed, the first five books of the old testament bible were written <i>primarily </i>as a history. It was only after 444 BCE that the Pentateuch (as the former is called) came to have the religious significance that it has today (Haynes LN), and, as the reader might come to see, the origins of ancient history may have more Jewish precedence than is presently accepted!</span></p><p style="background-color: white; color: #ffff22; text-align: justify;"><span style="color: black; font-size: large;"><b>Aristobulus</b>, a Jewish philosopher writing in Alexandria about 100 BCE, wrote that the wisdom of the Jews predated Greek philosophy and was in fact "its source and model" (Grant 274). Ouch! </span></p><p style="background-color: white; color: #ffff22; text-align: justify;"><span style="color: black; font-size: large;">This is no idle and irresponsible boast, good reader! This is a supportable statement of pious scholarship from Jewish institutional memory (...as self-serving as that must only <i>appear</i> to be; it remains to have <i>precedence</i>!), and it is scholarship not <i>remotely</i> discounted or invalidated! Yes, and at all levels and indices, too! That is not pushed in the reader's face even where it must be thrust center stage!</span></p><p style="background-color: white; text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><span style="color: black;">Another key contribution made to <b>history</b> by the Jews is the history coming to a Western civilization from the Eastern one. <i>Psychotic</i> hostilities between Christian and Islamic factions complicated the transference of collected knowledge bodies. These factual histories could have been lost to Western civilization for much longer but for the singularly <i>proportioned </i>Jewish transmission it received from the Jews </span>(Speilvogel 356) . </span></p><p style="background-color: white; color: #ffff22; text-align: justify;"><span style="color: black; font-size: large;">In fact, some educators argue that the Jews are ~mainly~ responsible for the transmission of ANY wisdom or knowledge, at all, to a metaphoric CAVE-dwelling Western civilization of the time! This is common knowledge requiring no citation presuming self-honesty and a good high school education.</span></p><p style="background-color: white; color: #ffff22; text-align: justify;"><span style="color: black; font-size: large;">These pearls of wisdom were, of course, in the very useful fields of <b>Medicine</b>, Aristotelian <b>philosophy</b>, <b>astronomy</b>, and <b>mathematics</b>. (Haynes PI). Humankind, but assuredly Western civilization, would indeed find itself in difficult straits <i>without</i> the history, the societal memory, or the cognitive foundation regained in this manner and <i>certainly </i>has the Jew to rightfully thank.</span></p><p style="background-color: white; color: #ffff22; text-align: justify;"><span style="color: black; font-size: large;">[Consider, it could be argued that Jews provided Christendom with all the intellectual weapons it would find necessary to use, at all, stopping Islam in the future and pushing it back out of Spain conclusively... <i>for an injection of real irony <b>and remembering our now <u>strangling</u> basilisk</b></i><b>!</b>]</span></p><p style="background-color: white; color: #ffff22; text-align: justify;"><span style="color: black; font-size: large;">To briefly summarize: early on, the Jews were in possession of information that <i>very</i> few had. They did not <i>hoard</i>, and they did not <i>covet</i>. Behavior such as that would not be consistent with their demonstrated and very non-usurous <i>ethics</i>. Jews <i>eschewed </i>empty rituals and lived in fact, in the aggregate, <b><i><u>for</u></i></b> ethical behavior (Haynes PI). Moreover, they were the middlemen separating two hostile factions... </span></p><p style="background-color: white; color: #ffff22; text-align: justify;"><span style="color: black; font-size: large;">It is no great stretch to imagine that this situation incurred the wrath of all sides against the persecuted (<i>and innocently reasonable!</i>) Jew in the center. Further, it could be said—then as now—that a reason for their persecution is similar to the reasons a bookish child is beaten up in a school playground. Remember, please, the aforementioned sidebar for the POINT of this paper... it's coming.</span></p><p style="background-color: white; color: #ffff22; text-align: justify;"><span style="color: black; font-size: large;"><b><i>Why</i></b> are Jews persecuted? Flatly... <i>because their more shining example may shame the persecutor</i>? That's the observation.</span></p><p style="background-color: white; color: #ffff22; text-align: justify;"><span style="color: black; font-size: large;">Moving on, Jewish contribution to the concept of LAW has been responsible for moving an evolving jurisprudence closer to <i>real </i>justice and AWAY from the (too convenient) <b><i>arbitrary </i></b>of a bloodily tyrannous past.</span></p><p style="background-color: white; color: #ffff22; text-align: justify;"><span style="color: black; font-size: large;">In parallel, respect for the law is the ~essence~ of ancient Jewish integrity. Still more, the name "Jew" means "People of the Law" to the ancient contemporaries of the Jews (Haynes LN). This ethical notoriety encourages a real and lasting precedent for an obvious Jewish contribution to the currently applied and foundational concept of the LAW as it is <i>now </i>generally known!</span></p><p style="background-color: white; color: #ffff22; text-align: justify;"><span style="color: black; font-size: large;">In this <i>obvious </i>and <i>seminal </i>contribution, the Jews actualize one of the noblest elevations for humanity as can be conceived! Verily! They provide a template for a new <i>kind</i> of law, conceptually, that causes a ripple of positive effects to cascade down through time to the present day! This ripple very possibly elevates Humankind from the primitive brute of the past to the rational thinker of the future! Simply stated, it is a new way of legal thinking called <b>Mosaic Law</b>.</span></p><p style="background-color: white; color: #ffff22; text-align: justify;"><span style="color: black; font-size: large;">Mosaic Law is a concept remembered in that unbroken thread of consciousness for thousands of years, remember, <b>of seeing man's ~Law~ as a body far <i>superior </i>to mere ~man~</b>. <i>Cut and print</i>! That's our aggregate <i>salvation </i>in a nutshell! </span></p><p style="background-color: white; color: #ffff22; text-align: justify;"><span style="color: black; font-size: large;">No longer, FINALLY, is it necessary for any righteous individual to be subject to the vague and arbitrary pronouncements of some hyper-arbitrate and privileged "other." There is now the potential, at least, for all to be EQUAL before the law (Wouk 39)(Grant 60). The Jews lived it and passed it on to us!</span></p><p style="background-color: white; color: #ffff22; text-align: justify;"><span style="color: black; font-size: large;">Equality before the law! What a concept! See! This holds "fat" feet to fire like we'd always held the "skinny" one! Previously, fat feet skated on privilege and a callous arbitrary. Mosaic Law would provide for a new umbrella of total fairness across the board and to this day... fat feet held to account <b><i>will</i></b> be fairer.</span></p><p style="background-color: white; color: #ffff22; text-align: justify;"><span style="color: black; font-size: large;">Moreover, this shall be the best idea of all because it is the qualifying equity fertilizing then <i>burgeoning </i>academic ground, everywhere! It makes other ideas more possible!!! This may lead to the greatest blessing to man as can be found anywhere on the planet: the potential freedom to think <i>creatively</i>, and to (responsibly!) profit from it! </span></p><p style="background-color: white; color: #ffff22; text-align: justify;"><span style="color: black; font-size: large;">Later on, when groups of men make this stick to the maximum that they can, humankind will comparably take off in the humanities and technologies like soaring birds... compared to what was going on in the Bronze Age! This new kind of freedom—this potential for modern luxury—this, our early 21th Century technological wonderland and economic <i>colossus</i>... <i>may be a gift of the Jews</i>!!!</span></p><p style="background-color: white; color: #ffff22; text-align: justify;"><span style="color: black; font-size: large;">At all levels, this body of Jewish law positively <i>insinuates</i>, <i>permeates</i>, and <i>saturates </i>much of Western law, presently, in a protective self-checking soak. In other words, Old Jewish Law touches everyday human problems in real-world ways. </span></p><p style="background-color: white; color: #ffff22; text-align: justify;"><span style="color: black; font-size: large;">To illustrate, Jacob Rabinowitz (a professor of law at Hebrew University) offers persuasive documentation concerning the rules governing <i>home mortgage</i>, <i>general release</i>, and <i>trial by jury</i> as examples. What follows is a rough brief of what these mean to the individual today:</span></p><p style="background-color: white; color: #ffff22; text-align: justify;"><span style="color: black; font-size: large;">When one mortgages a home in the early 20th Century, and has that transaction made safe—the ghost of an old Jewish man, as ethical, fair, and serious as can be expected, identifies and arranges the <i>details </i>of that sale (Finkelstein 16). </span></p><p style="background-color: white; color: #ffff22; text-align: justify;"><span style="color: black; font-size: large;">When a "release" is signed, one can be made safe from many of the legal entanglements that the unscrupulous person can inflict on the common person. That same old Jewish man is there, verifying the authenticity of the document (Finkelstein 9). </span></p><p style="background-color: white; color: #ffff22; text-align: justify;"><span style="color: black; font-size: large;">When one can throw her fate to a jury of men and women and not have to depend on the fickle, prejudiced, and likely criminal arbitrary <b><i>whims </i></b>of a ruling dictator or indifferent arbitrator, that person can thank the Jews for their original ideas and ancient institutional memory (Finkelstein 20) thus providing real respect to the individual, <i>consistently</i>. </span></p><p style="background-color: white; color: #ffff22; text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><span><span style="color: black;">As a result, the common man in this century has a potential quality of life that can be achieved in no other way. Surely, a debt of gratitude to aggregate Jewry is due, <i>apparently</i>, one more time.</span></span><span> </span></span></p><div style="background-color: white; color: #ffff22; text-align: center;"><center><table border="1" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" id="AutoNumber1" style="border-collapse: collapse; text-align: justify; width: 60%;"><tbody><tr><td width="100%"><p style="text-align: center;"><span style="color: black; font-size: large;">OWED DEBTS ASIDE, IT IS THE VERY SOUL OF IRONY THAT JEWS HAVE SO OFTEN BEEN DENIED THE DUE PROCESS OF THE LAW THEY VERY LIKELY PROVIDED TO WESTERN CIVILIZATION... </span></p><p><span style="color: black; font-size: large;">It is a reminder of the sidebar for this paper's point once again: the bookish child is beaten up, and the homework (...and lunch money?) that she would freely have contributed in necessity is immorally taken from her. Can the Jew fare any more positively in the next category of <b>Medicine</b>?</span></p></td></tr></tbody></table></center></div><p style="background-color: white; color: #ffff22; text-align: justify;"><span style="color: black; font-size: large;">Arturo Castiglioni, a Yale medical history professor, suggests that Jewish contribution to medicine may have relieved the suffering of humankind more than the contribution of any other sectarian institution. A real irony <i>there</i>... <i><b>and our basilisk is now dryly heaving</b></i>.</span></p><p style="background-color: white; color: #ffff22; text-align: justify;"><span style="color: black; font-size: large;">The Jews, he explains, as the great ethical middlemen of the Mediterranean, had the great factual gifts of Science and Medicine pass directly through their competent hands. The reverence for those gifts, the knowledge promised, instilled the Jew with a desire to catalog that knowledge, build upon it, <i>and consequently become some of the most respected and sought-after teacher/physicians of ancient times</i>. </span></p><p style="background-color: white; color: #ffff22; text-align: justify;"><span style="color: black; font-size: large;">This was, of course, <i>before </i>the jealously facilitated persecutions would hamstring that marvelous thrust, and make any contribution (save survival) impossible for them (Finkelstein 185). However, the seed was sown; and as Harry A. Savitz, M.D. reports, by 1974 AD, 30% of all the prestigious Nobel Prizes given in medicine and biology were awarded for ideas of Jewish doctors (Finkelstein 211). This is in spite of (and perhaps <i>because </i>of) the Jewish people's lack of access to colleges and universities for so many of the darker periods in their long history.</span></p><p style="background-color: white; color: #ffff22; text-align: justify;"><span style="color: black; font-size: large;">Regardless, this is an ASTOUNDING imbalance between the size of the population and the size of the contribution made! Acknowledgments <i>must</i> be tendered!</span></p><p style="background-color: white; color: #ffff22; text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><span style="color: black;">Savitz continues that other medical contributions of original ideas abound! Arthur Kornberg won the Nobel prize in Genetic Research in 1959, then heads a team that virtually explains the operation of the virus! This new idea leads to the miraculous strides humanity has taken in the area of genetic research today! </span><span style="color: black;">If AIDS is ever cured, it will likely be a Jew who published for peer review on the disease culture's slide! </span></span></p><p style="background-color: white; color: #ffff22; text-align: justify;"><span style="color: black; font-size: large;">On a note that strikes some as very personal as it does for this writer, especially those who have parents or relatives deformed by polio; it was a Jew, Jonas Salk, who defeated that terrible virus and fired up new ideas for the cures of <i>other</i> viral diseases. </span></p><p style="background-color: white; color: #ffff22; text-align: justify;"><span style="color: black; font-size: large;">Abraham Wakesman, the man who wiped out Tuberculosis by inventing the first antibiotic effective against it, was a Jew. </span></p><p style="background-color: white; color: #ffff22; text-align: justify;"><span style="color: black; font-size: large;">The work of a Jewish biochemist by the name of Ernst Boris Chain was key in the discovery of Penicillin (Finkelstein 211). </span></p><p style="background-color: white; color: #ffff22; text-align: justify;"><span style="color: black; font-size: large;">Finally, it remains to be said that Jewish scholarship in medicine is second to none, provides original ideas elevating all men and women, and will certainly share that information unquestionably and fairly with non-Jews! <i>Salk wanted to give his vaccine away</i>!</span></p><p style="background-color: white; color: #ffff22; text-align: justify;"><span style="color: black; font-size: large;">Selfless scholarship notwithstanding, proper perspective demands that all remember to take into account that Jews are not "superior intellects" when compared to the remaining balance of humankind—for all of their <i>scholarship</i>, and all of their <i>contribution</i>! They would be the first to admit it! </span></p><p style="background-color: white; color: #ffff22; text-align: justify;"><span style="color: black; font-size: large;">What IS superior about them; however, is a "<i>capacity for hard work</i>" demanded by their cultural system! This was documented as early as 50 BCE (Grant 226), and must surely have been in evidence before then. This might compel the rest of humankind to kick sand in the face of Jewry—to lash out in <i>impotent</i>, <i>humiliated</i>, and <i>childish</i> rage at <i>the Jewish system, </i>that system's greater <i>sense</i>, <i>spirit</i>, and <i>heart</i>! A certain kind of child violently resents being made to look bad and is compelled to DISPLAY anger for his pointless and destructive immaturity—that sidebar to the <i>point</i>, remember.</span></p><p style="background-color: white; color: #ffff22; text-align: justify;"><span style="color: black; font-size: large;">True, Jews are no "better" than the rest of humanity, there is of course no <i>biological </i>superiority, but they still accomplish <u>more</u> of value <i>because they <b>work</b> harder</i>. They'll work no less hard in the next category of <b>Math</b> and <b>Science</b>.</span></p><p style="background-color: white; color: #ffff22; text-align: justify;"><span style="color: black; font-size: large;"> Jewish contributions to these fields have perhaps increased the knowledge of humankind more than can currently even be appreciated—a result of us not being as smart, in the aggregate, as we think we are! Moreover, the preceding contributions iterated in this paper pale to insignificance when compared with the contributions of Jews to Science and Mathematics in the 20th century! </span></p><p style="background-color: white; color: #ffff22; text-align: justify;"><span style="color: black; font-size: large;">Consider briefly that only two men, <b>both Jews</b>, have stood humankind on a figurative ear with their astonishing intellectual contributions. Those two men are, of course, <i>Sigmund Freud</i> and <i>Albert Einstein</i>. </span></p><p style="background-color: white; color: #ffff22; text-align: justify;"><span style="color: black; font-size: large;">Freud advanced ideas addressing the very real possibility of influences from an unconscious past that seriously impact the decisions of the conscious present. Armed with the knowledge of this possibility and potentiality, the decisions of this present are more intelligently made. It is written in more places than one that "Freud's lasting impact on the modern world [. . .] cannot be denied" (Wolf 1).</span></p><p style="background-color: white; color: #ffff22; text-align: justify;"><span style="color: black; font-size: large;">In contrast, if Freud compelled humanity to look inside SELF for new and compelling answers (<i>and more appropriate questions</i>), Einstein compelled humanity to look inside the very fabric of reality -extant- for answers... as far-reaching as can not yet even <b><i><u>be</u></i></b> imagined! For better or worse the secrets of the atom were his gifts, and the legacy he left will (perhaps!) not be easily eclipsed. </span></p><p style="background-color: white; color: #ffff22; text-align: justify;"><span style="color: black; font-size: large;">The contribution of ideas such as these transcends normal understanding, and thrusts branches of active progression into <i>equally </i>progressive skies. Ironically, Jews show the rest of us how wonderful (<i>and unjustly tragic, sometimes</i>) it is to have hard work pay off!</span></p><p style="background-color: white; color: #ffff22; text-align: justify;"><span style="color: black; font-size: large;">...But there were other (earlier) contributions (no less interesting) that perhaps led directly to the fantastic gifts of Freud and Einstein. For instance, <b>Maimonides</b>, a Jewish physician/philosopher much revered as a truly original thinker, wrote a skillful document called "Guide for the Perplexed." His newer idea suggested ways that science and religion might be efficaciously linked (Eban 107). Astonishingly, this is what St. Thomas Aquinas and his "Summa Theologica" was, LATER, all about! Maimonides; however, predated the ~PLAGIARIZING?~ Aquinas by many decades.</span></p><p style="background-color: white; color: #ffff22; text-align: justify;"><span style="color: black; font-size: large;">The utility of this wonderful concept, invented by Maimonides, then, shows that the use of science to search for an understanding of God [<u style="font-style: italic; font-weight: bold;">TRUTH,</u><span style="font-style: italic; font-weight: bold;"> the way the Jews saw it!</span>], is GOOD for a progressive and rational humankind! The Jews and their fresh ideas may have hurried us along on this path to the bravely <i>progressive </i>and the immanently <i>rational... </i>that could <b><i><u>be</u></i></b> an<i> abundant </i>future!</span></p><p style="background-color: white; color: #ffff22; text-align: center;"><span style="color: black; font-size: medium;"><b><i>~</i></b></span></p><p style="background-color: white; color: #ffff22; text-align: center;"><span style="color: black; font-size: medium;"><i><b>IT IS STRANGE THEN, AS ONE (LATER) REFLECTS ON THE APPROACHING "SIDEBAR," THAT THE BULK OF AN UNCARING HUMANKIND KEEPS TRYING, FERVENTLY, TO KNOCK THE JEWISH PASSENGER RIGHT <u>OFF</u> THIS EVOLVING VEHICLE OF CIVILIZATION! </b></i></span></p><p style="background-color: white; color: #ffff22; text-align: center;"><span style="color: black; font-size: medium;"><i><b>THE AFOREMENTIONED BELL CURVE, REVEALED?

It does not seem smart for the vast bulk of humankind to </span><b style="color: black;"><i><u>do</u></i></b><span style="color: black;"> that—not smart on a multitude of levels. We'll leave that there. </span></span></p><p style="background-color: white; color: #ffff22; text-align: justify;"><span style="color: black; font-size: large;">The final category discussed certainly sheds no more light... ONLY more goy societal psychosis: the Jewish contribution to <b>Religion</b>.</span></p><p style="background-color: white; color: #ffff22; text-align: justify;"><span style="color: black; font-size: large;">Verily, the Sun <b><i><u>source</u></i></b> of Christianity and Islam... is <i>Judaism</i>. That may be Judaism's <i>only</i> criticism the writer tongue-in-cheeks... </span></p><p style="background-color: white; color: #ffff22; text-align: justify;"><span style="color: black; font-size: large;">It has been said that if Judaism is the <i>father</i>, then Christianity is the <i>son</i>, and Islam is the <i>grandson </i>(Haynes LN). It is a continuing wonder that vocal and more violent elements of Christianity and Islam can turn so thoroughly and viciously on their father Judaism. Islam publishes in leading news magazines that it is the destiny of Islam to "kill the Jew, torture the Jew, and wipe Israel from the surface of the world (US NEWS & World Report)." Based on <i>what</i>, exactly, one has to wonder.</span></p><p style="background-color: white; color: #ffff22; text-align: justify;"><span style="color: black; font-size: large;">Christianity, <i>accepting the weight of </i><b><u><i>all</i></u></b><i> hyperbole</i>, has long been responsible for some of the most heinous and brutal persecutions... causing one mainstream scholar to remark, "<i>The persecutions and the new [false] image of the hated Jew stimulated a tradition of anti-Semitism that proved to be one of Christian Europe's most insidious contributions to the Western heritage</i>" (Speilvogel 356). Verily, Christians only allowed a Jewish community where that community would inevitably prosper... <i>but to be mown down for the fruit the Jews would inevitably yield when that "mowing" became convenient</i>! This was a <i>regular </i>occurrence.</span></p><p style="background-color: white; color: #ffff22; text-align: justify;"><span style="color: black; font-size: large;">This is a preposterous persecution when one realizes that if Judaism had not been around to provide the very idea of monotheistic shoulders on which the other two religions STAND, Islam and Christianity would have no <i>meaning</i>, <i>validity</i>, OR <i>history </i>at all! Verily, Judaism provided the taproot idea for the two most popular religions today, and is of course reviled for its trouble. </span></p><p style="background-color: white; color: #ffff22; text-align: justify;"><span style="color: black; font-size: large;">...No "good deed" shall go unpunished, we've read! Do as would be done? Right.</span></p><p style="background-color: white; color: #ffff22; text-align: justify;"><span style="color: black; font-size: large;">Further validity for Judaism as a contributor to positive religious behaviors can be demonstrated out of common knowledge. The Crusades are a holy war of abomination, and Christianity has always been <i>violently</i> factionalized. In parallel, the Jihad (...<i><b>almost</b></i> a sixth pillar of the Islamic faith!) is a Muslim holy war of transcendent social abomination (believe or die!)... Islam has always been <i>violently </i>factionalized (Haynes PI). </span></p><p style="background-color: white; color: #ffff22; text-align: justify;"><span style="color: black; font-size: large;">What holy wars have the Jews involved themselves with within the last two millennia, and when have they ever been violently factionalized to a <i>remotely </i>similar degree illustrated by a plethora of Christian "faiths" at war with themselves, always, and illustrated by the Sunni vs Shia debacle in Islam? The "Jeopardy music" plays. </span></p><p style="background-color: white; color: #ffff22; text-align: justify;"><span style="color: black; font-size: large;">Could it be <i>that</i> obvious that the maturity of Judaism <i>precludes</i> that kind of behavior produced ONLY by Christians and Muslims? It is THIS kind of maturity that Jewry displays to the world... though, it would seem that most are blind to same. Judaism, comparatively, is an idea of <i>calm</i>, <i>reflection</i>, <i>scholarship</i>, and real <i>maturity</i> cooperating as a collection of <i>ethically thinking and rational human beings</i>. That's the aspiration. Consider, then, the <i>other</i> kids on that playground...</span></p><p style="background-color: white; color: #ffff22; text-align: justify;"><span style="color: black; font-size: large;">This concept of mature adulthood, of course, has real applications on many levels. Where, in Judaism, are the rabid pronouncements that are found in Islam? Where are the blatant anti-fraternal institutional doctrines and teachings as are found in Christianity? <i>Lastly, what can these acts BE but the acts of rebellious children against their rational and doting parent</i>! <b>Our basilisk expires, unregretted.</b></span></p><p style="background-color: white; color: #ffff22; text-align: justify;"><span style="color: black; font-size: large;">"Et tu" Christianity? There is much evidence to suggest that Judaism was a key in the spread of, if not the NURTURING of Christianity (Haynes LN). This is forgetting for a moment that the crucifixion of Christ (as engineered by them?) is REQUIRED for the soul of Christianity to have any meaning and validity at all. Christ <b><i><u>had</u></i></b> to "die" or there could be no "resurrection"! </span></p><p style="background-color: white; color: #ffff22; text-align: justify;"><span style="color: black; font-size: large;">When the destruction of their nation occurred in 70 AD at the hands of the obliviously decadent Romans, and the Jews were scattered across the Roman Empire like dust before the wind in the great Diaspora, they took the <b><i>idea </i></b>of Christianity with them as they were blown around. They spoke first to the gatherings of Jews as they found them. <i>Jews were the very WHEELS of Christianity</i>! Again, it is no leap of faith that this was a thunderous contribution to the idea, spread, and eventual success of a then-<i>upstart</i> Christian creed!</span></p><p style="background-color: white; color: #ffff22; text-align: justify;"><span style="color: black; font-size: large;">To conclude, the positive contributions of the Jews to humanity have fruitfully interspersed the fields of <b>history</b>, <b>law</b>, <b>medicine</b>, <b>math/science</b>, and <b>religion </b>with tremendously useful ideas and cultural inventions/innovations! In many cases, Jews have been the key to an improvement in these and other particular social disciplines. They have done this as a result of <i>character</i>, the gainful use of their "God's" <i>gifts</i>, withering<i> hard </i>work, and <i>attention </i>to scholarship that <i>matters</i>! They were <i>organized, objective, constructive, comprehensive, flexible, acceptable, specific</i>, and <i>thoughtful...</i> at the start when others were not. Non-Jews had <i>much </i>to admire, and would it be that that admiration was aggregate humanity's cultural go-to... but it's not.</span></p><p style="background-color: white; color: #ffff22; text-align: justify;"><span style="color: black; font-size: large;">They have accomplished all their accomplishments in spite of <i>slanderous</i>, <i>horrific</i>, <i>unethical</i>, <i>barbarous</i>, and <i>inhuman</i> treatment at the hands of a sizable minority, if not a majority, <i>of their fellow human beings, that belated gentile highlighted at the start of this writer's goyish jeremiad</i>. And who are these human beings, really?</span></p><p style="background-color: white; color: #ffff22; text-align: justify;"><span style="color: black; font-size: large;"><b><i>They are a room full of unsupervised children—the sidebar for this paper's point! </i></b></span></p><p style="background-color: white; color: #ffff22; text-align: justify;"><span style="color: black; font-size: large;">These mewling kids are the kinds of children who will find the <i>differently </i>minded one among them, and torment her mercilessly. Some of these children are bigger, smarter, and more ethical than some of the other children; but all are corrupt, selfish, and juvenile; except (perhaps!) for one. This writer interjects at this point that it is a wonder sometimes how human beings will tolerate behavior from their nations that they would NEVER tolerate from their own children, but that seems to be our <i>inexplicable</i> and <i>regrettable </i>way.</span></p><p style="background-color: white; color: #ffff22; text-align: justify;"><span style="color: black; font-size: large;">To further illustrate, the child named "Iraq" sees something he likes that is in the possession of the little rich (but weaker) child named "Kuwait." "Iraq" reaches out, pokes Kuwait in the eye, and takes "Kuwait's" possession. Some of the bigger children stand around and pontificate about their reasons for stepping in (or not!), but the biggest child selfishly needs something that Kuwait has, and that need is its terrible excuse. </span></p><p style="background-color: white; color: #ffff22; text-align: justify;"><span style="color: black; font-size: large;">In the scuffle that follows, the oldest and wisest child watches as "Iraq" flails its "knife" around (<i>said to be dipped, perhaps, in poisons!</i>); and is even stabbed by it a few times—but can do nothing! Some of the other "children" might come in on Iraq's side, and turn a scuffle into a brawl. </span></p><p style="background-color: white; color: #ffff22; text-align: justify;"><span style="color: black; font-size: large;">The wise child shows <i>restraint</i>; the wise child shows <i>maturity</i>. The wise child is trying to look to the responsible long view while the rest are caught up with the <i>sociopathic</i> short term. Remains, Jews took injury in that conflict and responded in no retaliative way! Ask any other society to do that.</span></p><p style="background-color: white; color: #ffff22; text-align: justify;"><span style="color: black; font-size: large;">The Jew seems closest to the wise child, demonstrating in word, thought, and deed that the <i>adult </i>in this room full of mewling children would appear to be Jewish. The rest of the children are as so many rebellious, unenlightened, frightened, and <i>frightening </i>(<i>sometimes cognitively RETARDED!</i>) teenagers... psychotics even! </span></p><p style="background-color: white; color: #ffff22; text-align: justify;"><span style="color: black; font-size: large;">The brush is broad folks, but a lot of that paint sticks... <i>and poof goes THIS citizen's anti-Semitism</i>. With the basilisk (which it <i>was</i>), it shall not be missed.</span></p><p><span style="background-color: white; color: #ffff22; font-size: large;"><span style="color: black;">Closing, don't worry about a Jewish "conspiracy," THAT old chestnut.

Friedman was thoroughly convinced by the strength of the <b><i><u>data</u></i></b> supporting this case. Truly, it is a massive amount of data. Undeclared and "secret" (very low-key, officially!) Air war with ET (!!!) would seem a distinct possibility! Friedman followed the data. He was a scientist.</span></span></div><div style="font-family: Calibri, Helvetica, sans-serif; text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: "Times New Roman", Times, serif;"><br /></span></span></div><div style="font-family: Calibri, Helvetica, sans-serif; text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: "Times New Roman", Times, serif;">Mr. Friedman, who worked closely with Feschino on the Flatwoods case, knew the data, <span style="background-color: white;">visited Flatwoods, met with witnesses, and actually stood multiple times at the landing site<b>/</b>encounter site on the farm where the incidents occurred. Thus, after working with Frank for several years, Friedman had become well-informed on the "Flatwoods Monster" incident.</span></span><span style="font-family: "Times New Roman", Times, serif;"> Mr. Friedman then reached his own conclusion on the case and would discredit the Air Force's Project Blue Book conclusion of the "Flatwoods Monster" incident. A revealed cover-up by any other name will smell as sweet... if not eldritch and arcane. Have a big whiff!</span></span></div><div style="font-family: Calibri, Helvetica, sans-serif; text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: "Times New Roman", Times, serif;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></span></div><div style="font-family: Calibri, Helvetica, sans-serif; text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: "Times New Roman", Times, serif;"><span style="font-size: large;">The Air Force's "conclusion" of the incident was recorded in Blue Book's, "Project 10073 Record Card," as case # 2078.

T</span><span style="font-family: "Times New Roman", Times, serif;">he facts; however, did not support that explanation. </span></span></div><div style="font-family: Calibri, Helvetica, sans-serif; text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: "Times New Roman", Times, serif;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></span></div><div style="font-family: Calibri, Helvetica, sans-serif; text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: "Times New Roman", Times, serif;">First off? Meteors don't "land," as was observed! They don't make "sharp turns"! They don't "reverse course" as was observed; <i>they don't fly from city to city, following rivers and utilized airways</i>! They don't make beelines to highly restricted military <i>prohibited </i>areas! When they <b><i><u>do</u></i></b> impact into the ground, there are often pre-impact sonic booms, craters, and shock waves that are <i>very</i> noticeable. </span></span></div><div style="font-family: Calibri, Helvetica, sans-serif; text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: "Times New Roman", Times, serif;"><br /></span></span></div><div style="font-family: Calibri, Helvetica, sans-serif; text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: "Times New Roman", Times, serif;">Friedman would </span><span style="font-family: "Times New Roman", Times, serif;">later</span><span style="font-family: "Times New Roman", Times, serif;"> </span><span style="font-family: "Times New Roman", Times, serif;">quip that if a meteor of the size witnessed at the Fisher farm by first-handers had landed in Flatwoods? Well, the town would have had to have been re-christened <i>Flattened-woods</i>! True story! This writer heard him say it!</span></span></div><div style="font-family: Calibri, Helvetica, sans-serif; text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: "Times New Roman", Times, serif;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></span></div><div style="font-family: Calibri, Helvetica, sans-serif; text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><span style="background-color: white; font-family: "Times New Roman", Times, serif;">The fact of the matter is that there <b><i><u>are</u></i></b> meteor showers in September! Sure! Even </span><i style="background-color: white; font-family: "Times New Roman", Times, serif; font-variant-caps: inherit; font-variant-ligatures: inherit; font-weight: inherit;">Sky and Telescope</i><span style="background-color: white; font-family: "Times New Roman", Times, serif;"> Magazine, which often listed significant meteor flights, reported on them, <i>effusively</i>. <b><i>There were; however, <u>none</u> recorded for September 12, 1952</i></b>! None! That has to frost one's stacking swivel!</span></span></div><div style="font-family: Calibri, Helvetica, sans-serif; text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><span style="background-color: white; font-family: "Times New Roman", Times, serif;"><br /></span></span></div><div style="font-family: Calibri, Helvetica, sans-serif; text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><span style="background-color: white; font-family: "Times New Roman", Times, serif;">Furthermore, the Harvard Meteor Project operating between 1952 and 1954 and recording 2401 meteor passages, recorded none on September 12, 1952! The project, <i>ironically </i>enough, was under the direction of Harvard Astronomer, one Dr. Donald Howard Menzel, who was a well-known UFO debunker and UFO coverup scion of the klasskurtxian golden age...</span></span></div><div style="font-family: Calibri, Helvetica, sans-serif; text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><span style="background-color: white; font-family: "Times New Roman", Times, serif;"><br /></span></span></div><div style="font-family: Calibri, Helvetica, sans-serif; text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><span style="background-color: white; font-family: "Times New Roman", Times, serif;">We digress, but does the reader ever wonder about the reasons for such coverups? Coverups always have a criminal connotation, remember. Coverups deny the reasonable flow of information from who <b><i><u>has</u></i></b> it to who <b><i><u>wants</u></i></b> it... <i><b>from</b></i> who is and has been rewarded by its sole possession <b><i>to</i></b> the person who would be rewarded for having gained some of that possession... <i>maybe needing it to grow as a human being</i>! We need it, now. </span></span></div><div style="font-family: Calibri, Helvetica, sans-serif; text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><span style="background-color: white; font-family: "Times New Roman", Times, serif;"><br /></span></span></div><div style="font-family: Calibri, Helvetica, sans-serif; text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><span style="background-color: white; font-family: "Times New Roman", Times, serif;">Status quo maintenance is a front-running reason for the lack of government forthcomingness on the subject of UFOs. The powers that be are loathe to react to change as we have seen all our lives, and that requires no citation. It costs them money and rattles, which is to say, <i>threatens</i>, their too often <b><i><u>purloined</u></i></b> catbird seats. </span></span></div><div style="font-family: Calibri, Helvetica, sans-serif; text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><span style="background-color: white; font-family: "Times New Roman", Times, serif;"><br /></span></span></div><div style="font-family: Calibri, Helvetica, sans-serif; text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><span style="background-color: white; font-family: "Times New Roman", Times, serif;">It is insultingly offered by this long-privileged catbird crowd that a "disturbance of the peace" on the subject of UFOs is unwarranted because of the social "sturm and drang" it would cause <i>religiously</i>, <i>societally</i>, and <i>culturally</i>. One suspects that that may be disingenuous and betraying poppycock! Isn't that the reader's suspicion? No, wouldn't it rather ultimately unite us under a single banner of... humanity? We could use a little of that about now...</span></span></div><div style="font-family: Calibri, Helvetica, sans-serif; text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><span style="background-color: white; font-family: "Times New Roman", Times, serif;"><br /></span></span></div><div style="font-family: Calibri, Helvetica, sans-serif; text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><span style="background-color: white; font-family: "Times New Roman", Times, serif;">This writer's experience of 75 years offers that catbird folks won't give a rat's patoot about the intelligence, the education and informed improvement, or even the improving mental health of their flocks... where it means going from platinum fixtures to gold on their autumn homes... or complications on their stockholders' bottom line... just look at FOX Corporation... and it remains:</span></span><div class="yj6qo" style="background-color: white;"></div></div><div style="font-family: Calibri, Helvetica, sans-serif; text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><span style="background-color: white; font-family: "Times New Roman", Times, serif;"><br /></span></span></div><div style="font-family: Calibri, Helvetica, sans-serif; text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><span style="background-color: white; font-family: "Times New Roman", Times, serif;">If we'd looked UFOs in the teeth back in 1952 we'd be over it by now and on to greater things, seems likely? We'd take the red pill and be improved thereby! If we're destroyed with the knowledge of the other, <i>then maybe humanity has no real standing in the universe at the start</i>! Rather, this writer suspects we'd be mining the asteroid belt and turning our planet into a garden were we to show some courage and set our chins on this subject!</span></span></div><div style="font-family: Calibri, Helvetica, sans-serif; text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><span style="background-color: white; font-family: "Times New Roman", Times, serif;"><br /></span></span></div><div style="font-family: Calibri, Helvetica, sans-serif; text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><span style="background-color: white; font-family: "Times New Roman", Times, serif;">Stanton Friedman understood all this... with a host of other greats like James McDonald, et sig al! He understood that the courageous human spirit is rewarded... <i>and that the lack of spirited courage is NOT</i>. This is why Friedman was unflinching in his examination over many decades and to his death. It's what real human beings do. Be brave or be a beast enslaved to their own cowardice and the futility that forebears. Friedman chose not to be a beast about these things. Feschino chooses similarly! This writer goes without saying. </span></span></div><div style="font-family: Calibri, Helvetica, sans-serif; text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><span style="background-color: white; font-family: "Times New Roman", Times, serif;"><br /></span></span></div><div style="font-family: Calibri, Helvetica, sans-serif; text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh1FO3frhoeD3b1IwRMYdb-gTFtLZuh57ryc0aOOetxkkIyPwXdq6nJhyeoWzjVa0rJmkgSgFNuLUoP6VopMseZ8tucQbHkwm98GBbacyB2aBDnn8zYr70lCF8WTW83PMnZXBdmQPR_6z-xYbCFYxR9X5XWRUyqIsQQY9SuN6-dToeducmbhHz-/s306/unnamedv.png" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="306" data-original-width="187" height="306" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh1FO3frhoeD3b1IwRMYdb-gTFtLZuh57ryc0aOOetxkkIyPwXdq6nJhyeoWzjVa0rJmkgSgFNuLUoP6VopMseZ8tucQbHkwm98GBbacyB2aBDnn8zYr70lCF8WTW83PMnZXBdmQPR_6z-xYbCFYxR9X5XWRUyqIsQQY9SuN6-dToeducmbhHz-/s1600/unnamedv.png" width="187" /></a></div><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh0klY2EXMWR4qbvKXCfZ1GQdNUUJRBEF6GZbIZ6jFIUMesW2Kqj0RvqsRPFR77bTUu1vJryWhFPuMzZj-Yg7lR3mOmY-ZEhiLHOAzKFukYXMNHGX4hHRVEl2lg1A_ZTLWjoTLhYoGLdnxMq0lJlnqFxChVbXTD-nBnpw3rIyKRAh2_2itrFoiv/s211/unnamedw.png" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="211" data-original-width="137" height="211" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh0klY2EXMWR4qbvKXCfZ1GQdNUUJRBEF6GZbIZ6jFIUMesW2Kqj0RvqsRPFR77bTUu1vJryWhFPuMzZj-Yg7lR3mOmY-ZEhiLHOAzKFukYXMNHGX4hHRVEl2lg1A_ZTLWjoTLhYoGLdnxMq0lJlnqFxChVbXTD-nBnpw3rIyKRAh2_2itrFoiv/s1600/unnamedw.png" width="137" /></a></div><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEita-wWkoCCGkNowfulfFOGslQY5AB5lz4jnmcQYbKh45X8PpUDMIVTUoVT7u8NBQeHMK3J1FYgvS2X6iyyf_dwappRgK0quX6VFV05fFl7NgCK9hog2Tn_GMiRLL6pHyW65QYXIZcUCb-iMm9MwSMm_JnrH0TlWOIAl3H_-PmIMpPFMAuwSXhM/s768/unnamedx.png" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="574" data-original-width="768" height="239" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEita-wWkoCCGkNowfulfFOGslQY5AB5lz4jnmcQYbKh45X8PpUDMIVTUoVT7u8NBQeHMK3J1FYgvS2X6iyyf_dwappRgK0quX6VFV05fFl7NgCK9hog2Tn_GMiRLL6pHyW65QYXIZcUCb-iMm9MwSMm_JnrH0TlWOIAl3H_-PmIMpPFMAuwSXhM/s320/unnamedx.png" width="320" /></a></div><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhO300RskdooOeJd93vVb-oq6t8qCBdsm7afbpsVzPNlJJgGVi5DcmXthhth0MG-5aaPQzy7Bs9hvU-ea_sWK7YwCBOEmxsIl1VXwmHjonz_cHUJlQisIhY3YgtngmUw6ydUoFrZWm0jT93H5gCM-lkk0kBU7QFsfHl0aSnMv72ySkMX3sG8fEs/s1280/unnamedy.png" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="840" data-original-width="1280" height="210" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhO300RskdooOeJd93vVb-oq6t8qCBdsm7afbpsVzPNlJJgGVi5DcmXthhth0MG-5aaPQzy7Bs9hvU-ea_sWK7YwCBOEmxsIl1VXwmHjonz_cHUJlQisIhY3YgtngmUw6ydUoFrZWm0jT93H5gCM-lkk0kBU7QFsfHl0aSnMv72ySkMX3sG8fEs/s320/unnamedy.png" width="320" /></a></div><br /><span style="background-color: white; font-family: "Times New Roman", Times, serif;"><br /></span></span></div><div style="font-family: Calibri, Helvetica, sans-serif; text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><span style="background-color: white; font-family: "Times New Roman", Times, serif;"><br /></span></span></div><div style="font-family: Calibri, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: large;"><span style="background-color: white; font-family: "Times New Roman", Times, serif;"><br /></span></span></div><div><span style="background-color: white; font-family: "Times New Roman", Times, serif; font-size: 12pt;"><br /></span></div>Alfred Lehmberghttp://www.blogger.com/profile/02028589165474437987noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10137551.post-55129569505066027262023-10-22T09:02:00.009-04:002023-10-25T15:14:12.638-04:00There Are These Maps...<div style="margin: 0px auto 10px; text-align: center;">

<strong><em>MASTER MAP OF THE SEPTEMBER 12, UFO FLAP</em></strong><br />
<br />
<br />
<div><div style="text-align: left;"><span style="font-size: large;">This is a short discussion on a map of West Virginia illustrated with a timeline of <u>cited</u> UFO events. What is so astonishing about this initiative is this: were these illustrated maps to be a depiction of UFOs comprising their activities in an area for over a <b>decade</b>... it would be impressively compelling enough! It must wholly shock the observer were they to find that only a <b>year </b>is depicted!! A <b>month's </b>depiction and it's <i>impossibly </i>difficult to even get your head around... a <b>day</b> is simply inconceivable... but how about an <b>hour and some minutes in change</b>?! Such was so...</span></div><span style="font-size: large;"><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">According to the September 12, 1952 Project Blue Book records, the flaming UFO that flew west over the Capitol was the "well-known Washington area meteor." The Akron Astronomy Club report stated this "FIREBALL" was sighted at "Approximately 7:00 P.M. E.S.T." Note that!</div></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">
This same report also stated the length of time it was sighted. The object was recorded as having a "Duration: 5-6 seconds." Note <strong><em>that</em></strong>, reader!</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">
See, contrary to the Air Force's evaluations and findings of this alleged single Fireball meteor, Frank Feschino, Jr. discovered wrinkles to the "obvious otherwise." That "duration of 5-6 seconds" was to endure quite a stretch!</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">
For <b><i>years</i></b>, reader, Feschino searched for and compiled Sept. 12, 1952 UFO reports from various documented sources. Feschino worked diligently with other researchers, archivists, historians, and librarians to find a wealth of information contained in obscure national and regional newspaper articles from which named Newspapers were quoting. These articles gave information about the <strong><em>numerous</em></strong> UFOs, sky objects, flying saucers, mysterious lights or so-called meteors, <strong><em>unquestionably</em></strong> seen on that day and reported to credible authority.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">
Feschino continued his research and also found several magazine articles containing valuable information about the mysterious UFOs of September 12, 1952. The details are huge!</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">
Throughout his investigation, Feschino even spoke to first-hand UFO witnesses from around the country who had sighted UFOs that night. Furthermore, some of the most abundant UFO information Feschino <b><i>found </i></b>was actually contained in the heretofore unsifted civilian and military reports of the September 12, 1952 <b>Project Blue Book</b> files.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">
Feschino compiled his data and then separated all of the UFO sightings from around the country into categories by state. Painstakingly, he then plotted all of the location points of these UFO sightings and by using the reported times of the sightings and their flight path trajectories, <em>Feschino was able to determine a <u>series</u> of definite patterns</em>!!!</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">
See reader, by piecing together a <em>meticulous</em> timeline of documented events occurring that night, Feschino was able to discover that there were actually <em>several</em> different UFOs on <i>several </i>different flight paths, flying in various states of <em>damage</em> and <em>disarray</em> across the United States! This timeline told a very different story than the "single Fireball meteor" explanation as explained by Project Blue Book officials.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">
On September 12, 1952, several UFOs were sighted over nine eastern states <strong><em>during 21-hours of sustained UFO activity</em></strong>! Down where weird rubber meets the weirder road? </span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">Most of the ufological activity occurred in right around an hour, in and around Flatwoods! These sightings CANNOT be attributed to a lone Fireball meteor only "said" to have passed over Washington D.C. that night at 7:00 PM. EST. for a duration of 5-6 seconds. </span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">Meteors don't hang in the air for almost a full day, eh?</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">
Feschino plotted 102 locations—yellow stars on the above maps—where witnesses sighted and reported different UFOs flying directly over the following eastern region states of the country:</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">
1. Delaware</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">
2. Maryland</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">
3. North Carolina</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">
4. Ohio</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">
5. Pennsylvania</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">
6. Tennessee</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">
7. Virginia</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">
8. Washington D.C.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;"><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: x-large;">9. West Virginia</span></div><span style="font-size: large;"><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">...Additional states where UFOs were sighted on September 12, 1952:</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;">10. California</div><div style="text-align: justify;">11. Illinois</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">
...Curiously, the Project Blue Book records did not include the sightings occurring over Delaware, Ohio, or Tennessee.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">
Documentation also shows that on September 12, 1952, American civilians and Military officials in those nine east states, reported UFO sightings to the following:</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">
1. The Pentagon</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">
2. USAF Bases</span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;"><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">3. The Air Defense Command Headquarters located at Ent AFB, Colorado Springs, Colorado.</span></div><span style="font-size: large;"><div style="text-align: justify;">4. The United States Navy</div></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">
5. State Police Headquarters</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">
6. Local Police Headquarters</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">
7. Airports</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">
8. Civil Aeronautics Administration</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">
9. Newspaper offices</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">
10. Government Agencies </span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">
11. The FBI</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">
Moreover, Feschino's documentation also shows that four of the UFOs passing over the United States that night, had displayed different <i>characteristics </i>than the others. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">
These four UFOs had pieces falling from them, were exploding, on fire, displayed sparkling showers, all while flying, erratically, at tree top level. Quite the whirling dervish of a "meteor," eh? </span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">
Furthermore, it was documented that a commercial airline pilot actually reported a UFO nearly clipping the wing off his passenger plane near Wheeling, WV. that night! This "meteor" was actually one of the four damaged UFOs. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">
Furthermore, it is worth noting that even though these objects were flying quickly at very low levels, NOT one sonic boom was recorded anywhere that night! See, this fact also discounts a meteor. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">
Though, all four of these UFOs had one major common factor. All four of the objects made crash-landings and then took off again. Combined, these objects crash-landed a total of twelve times in two different states. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">
In conclusion, these four objects are suggested to be heavily damaged UFOs and definitely NOT meteors. To date, NO meteoric impact pits have yet to be found in those areas.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">
See reader, the "well-known Washington area meteor of 12 September." was actually one of the four damaged UFOs that night... I repeat again for emphasis. It passed over the Capitol on a western heading at about 7:00 P.M. EST.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">
It continued west, flew over Virginia, passed over West Virginia, <em>redirected</em> south over the state, and then flew over Flatwoods. Shortly after, it was sighted by a group of boys who went to investigate the landing site...</span></div>

Well, we aspire to conscience. <br /><br />You are the <i>decided </i>majority if in that majority... <i>and don't think they don't know it!</i></span><span style="font-size: large;"><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;">See? It's not about their concern for <i>us</i>, even where that would <i>serve</i> <i>them</i>, astonishingly! It's not about <i>our</i> best interests, <i>and it's not about the welfare of our immortal souls or a <b>collection</b> of immortal souls</i>! No! </div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;">It's only about our individual <i>validation </i>of <u>them</u> that is the issue, our validation of <i>their </i>faith... be it religious <b><i><u>or</u></i></b> corporate. ...Same thing? Religions and Corporations... yeah, they may <b><i><u>be</u></i></b> required, only, couldn't they be <b><i>less</i></b> reptilian and <b><i>more </i></b>mammalian? Sure! That's just the raw choice!</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;">Currently, it's <b><i><u>only</u></i></b> about how useful we are in that unending "struggle" they've contrived over decades to keep their <i>own</i> water hot, it's discovered, by tricking <u>us</u> into keeping it hot... FOR them. Look at their legacy of corporate "bothsidering" media! It conflates "perhaps flawed" with "full-on FUBAR" for a zero-sum when the bald antithesis of that is ABUNDANTLY obvious! </div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;">The world we live in is only about THEIR validation and comfort; it's never been about <i>ours</i>. They have <b><i>ever </i></b>just tried to whittle <b><i>that </i></b><i><u>down</u></i>! Fair play, we discover, is inimical to <b style="font-style: italic;">their</b> best interests. Ours is beneath their concern, consideration, and contempt. They've the gold-making rules codified into law, in their corner. Nice bit of extremist engineering there, boy howdy, <i>but have you met the Freedom Caucus</i>, doing good work for years... not.</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;">See, <i>our </i>best interests cost <i>them </i>money. It matters not to them that their investment likely returns to them with huge interest down the road.</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;">Why? To facilitate that one-sided struggle—<i>to enrich themselves on levels most cannot imagine</i>! They have <b><i><u>harnessed</u></i></b> the unctuous power of timeless *<i>ceremony</i>* and ageless *<i>tradition</i>*! These are weaponized into cultural mechanisms employed in their self-interested social manipulations! They weaponize that faith and patriotism and use it <b><i>against </i></b>the faithful and the patriotic... <i>Regard our Supreme Court of the United States and most of Congress!</i></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;">Then they facilitate—through <i>unassailable</i> corporate behemoths now legislated as citizen beings (<b><i>corporations are people too? "citizens" united, my crepey old ass!</i></b>)—corrupt faux-religious institutions, and finally, these closed institution's <a href="https://alienviewgroup.blogspot.com/2014/12/alien-invasion-never-looked-so-good.html" target="_blank">too <i>willing, </i>even if unknowing <b><i>shills</i></b></a>. Their lamenting fanboys.</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;">These scabrous entities are not conflicted by anything as unprofitable as <i>conscience</i>... or <i>compassion... </i>or <i>goodwill</i> (<i>except when these can be used to deceive and manipulate... and why they are the enemies of the "woke" concept</i>), and they busily prosecute their contempt and lack of respect for the rank and file with the "slings and arrows" of their <i>contrived </i>misfortunes... serving only to <i>diminish </i>those serving them as they themselves are <i>grievously</i> enriched. Look at ANY televangelist? Say it's not so... then <i>wonder</i> where Trade Unions and their healthy middle classes have gone!</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><b><div style="text-align: justify;"><b><i><span>Truly, we must bite the hand that "feeds" us; it's in <u>everyone's</u> best interest! They're not just finding this out. They've KNOWN this! WE'RE just finding this out!</span></i></b></div></b><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;">See, there's MORE to Earth and Heaven, even, than once honored Flags—made flaccid—and Constitutional parchments—made brittle—<i>as key and critical as these Flags and Constitutions are</i>! More key and critical than we know... and more than we <b><i>can</i></b> know! <b><i>Flags</i></b> (and we SHOULD be under but one flag as homo-sapiens!) and <b><i>Constitutions</i></b>, we find, are about <i>cooperation</i>, <i>shared</i> goals... <i>synergy</i>!</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;">Consider, now: UFOs! </div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;">Discomfiting as these may be, this citizen of the world must also perceive the opportunity for humanity to depart the planet efficaciously while we can still leave it a garden, and mine the asteroid belt... turn it into a bracelet of humanity around our star... UFOs seem to be a conduit to all that and become an "air" that we as a Nation would do well to begin to breathe, <i>at last</i>! </div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;">Why? Well, I suspect the problems of Creeds, Religions, Flags, and Constitutions, in the face of revealed UFOs, just work themselves <b><i><u>out</u></i></b> straight up and right off, don't you think? There's the <i style="font-weight: bold;">rub </i>we find. </div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;">The "leaders," alluded to above, require a <a href="https://alienviewgroup.blogspot.com/2023/09/the-porcine-status-quo.html" target="_blank">status quo</a> of insentient senselessness! This is providing the essential cultural rigidity inculcated so as to persist in their profit in that manner to which they have become tragically accustomed... since Reagan, as was poetically outlined just above. Sad but true. Reagan is the pretty lie.</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;">Lately, some of these conflicted individuals (who gleefully front for the aforementioned outdated <i>traditions </i>and irrelevant <i>ceremonies </i>alluded to above) have used our public forums to grind pig-metal axes and prosecute their duplicitous agendas. For my part I'm never at a loss in my depressed amazement for these portentous <i>pundits</i>, these fulsome faith <i>pushers</i>, or these pompous "scientistic (sic)" <i>proselytizers</i>. ...Where have all the <b><i><u>scientific</u></i></b> gone?</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;">The former fairly <i>ooze </i>that cloying musk (pi) of a closed-loop, so faux-ardent, sincerity, <i>sincere seeming compassion</i>, and a seeming compassionate <i>ardency... so sincere</i>—and they can still pull that off with their trust-funded noses in the air! </div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;">...Though, the irredeemable <b><i><u>dearth</u></i></b> of all that ardent <i>sincerity</i>, sincere <i>compassion</i>, and compassionate <i>ardency </i>fly in the face of all <i>imagination</i>, <i>reason</i>, and <i>intelligence </i>where our rubber meets their road! See, we're Status Quo Stockholm sufferers, we suck it up like air, still. It's all we have or are allowed. Where not breathing is not an option, one will try to breathe what's there to breathe...</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;">Too, one could almost be convinced that these producers of the current cultural miasma "believed" their own ego-driven self-involvedness, themselves, <i>enthralled by their own propaganda</i>. It happens. TЯUMP is recalled. He believes, himself.</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;">I remember, suddenly, that most brands of self-serving "faith," in the aggregate, are not testable and so must be <i>completely</i> valueless... except as a consoling opiate. I'm not making that up. It's been noticed before: this <i>tyranny </i>of bland institutionalized psychopathy masquerading as religiosity or corpocracy. ...One can read that people hate atheism and love religious faith because the former is the unpleasant truth, and the latter is the pretty lie. Do we digress?</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;">It has been argued by some of these <i>corporate </i>and <i>religious </i>(...just <i>more</i> corporation?) shills that their sociopathic points of view are at <i>least </i>as valid as that which has been otherwise, if more <i>inclusively and democratically, </i>proposed... that they have as much right to express their views and get published as anyone else... <b><i>and they would be RIGHT</i></b>! It is the right's own argument to themselves, exactly! Ronald Reagan and Margaret Thatcher had a <i>point</i> with regard to self-reliant persons making do for themselves... ...until the promised pecuniary "trickle down" became the urinary "trickled on," right? <b><i>Remains</i></b>, wealth, not held to account it is found, always only ever trickles <b><i><u>up</u></i></b>. That's an issue!</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;">Then their singularly duplicitous "responsible messaging" insidiously suggests a CLOYING repetition treading dangerously close to an annoying opportunity to <u>proselytize</u> for the "one true faith" whatever that is... <b><i>howsoever that "faith" is manifested...</i></b> for a <i>valueless </i>point which cannot be conclusively made, <i>anyway (faith is like that!)</i>. The result ...and that would be "good citizens" fully legitimized to make "my" (<b><i><u>your</u></i></b>) total "<i><u>demise</u></i>" its <b><i>first</i></b> order of business! Not much stretch there, we suspect! Smoke <b><i>that</i></b>! </div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;">My argument to <b><i><u>them</u></i></b>; however, doesn't include <i>their</i> demise. Damned if it probably should, you know? <i>Religion, as was just pointed out, has always been a lie in the fog</i>.</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;">...At the business end of such an evil cultural entity as religion? Battalions of ready psychopaths, okay with <i>your </i>degradation, and to the tune of hundreds of thousands of dollars in lost wages... this writer doesn't just suspect the preceding. <a href="https://alienviewgroup.blogspot.com/2016/01/terminal-ufos.html" target="_blank">He <b><i><u>knows</u></i></b></a>!</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;">Similar faux-petulant points are made in public forums, but as this may NOT be the kind of forum as some might personally have it ...this forum could reflect an attitude that freedom OF religion at least <i>suggests </i>a freedom FROM religion if desired, <b>dogma</b>... increasingly irrelevant but still proffered philosophy, or <b>hypocrisy </b>if one desired to more correctly identify same. No... these continue to bang, against all sentient moderation, the same very tiresome and unjustified <i>exclusionary</i> drum!</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;">In truth, these "campaigns" of corporate money and its sibling religion are going to get an unexpected traction for their sociopathy, <i>only because the cruel acceleration of their aforementioned <u>irrelevance</u> makes them scheme and cheat for it all the more</i><b>—</b>forgetting that I think they are <i>wrong</i> and wrong-minded, actually <i>injurious </i>to rationality, and <i>harmful </i>to the cause of dispelling the aggregate ignorance presently, and so needlessly, endured... ...and <i>traditionally</i> endured. They would, of course, <i>disagree</i>. "Agreement"... akin to admitting error, is a slippery slope of <i>disaster</i> for them. It's why TЯUMP can't admit the smallest error, his "slippery slope" is steep, indeed.</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;">Without doubt, and why I can't object to their abject dismissal here, their particular message CAN be heard in fulsome abundance elsewhere in the world, everywhere else, reader, in fact!</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;">Indeed, their selfish efforts and self-interested initiatives saturate—this writer would say "subverts"—American culture at every media level and AM station, <i>anyway</i>! This is accomplished ...and isn't this <i>ironic </i>given that their "<b><i>persecuted</i></b>" faith is beamed from monied satellites to a <b><i><u>plethora</u> </i></b>of well-watched cable and digital television channels! Mega-churches big as Walmarts, blight the heartland, AM and FM radio stations <i><b>fester</b></i> with the toxic <i>faith </i>at the bottom of the listening dial from coast to coast and border to border, and the <i>faith </i>is all but blatantly proselytized from two of the three arms of Federal Government... and <b><i><u>all </u></i></b>three arms in some states... Freedom <b><i><u>from</u></i></b> reptilian corpocracy and hateful religiosity seems begged of needs!</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;">In light of the preceding, it doesn't seem REMOTELY necessary to hear that particular drum being excessively banged <i><u>everywhere</u></i>! Not by a long shot, and not on <i>this </i>writer's watch. Not a psychopath and aspiring to "woke," I nurture a conscience. Sincerely, stuff your religion. There can be no respect for the disrespecting.</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;">Indeed, religious messaging IS, as disingenuous "messages" are, a divisive message with an anxious axe to grind—an axe that is already ground from too many satellites beaming down to too many televisions and radio stations, internet sites, books, newspapers, magazines, and pamphlet's... already... all of it <i>validating </i>fallaciousness, <i>distorting</i> the mainstream, <i>employing </i>propaganda, and otherwise raising the hair on the back of my old crepey neck! ...Not over here, ladies and Gentlebunkies!</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;">I would suggest that these persons start their own little churches, and have—charming little places where they become irrelevant, still, but do so at a <i>faster</i> rate. ...A place to molder their 2%er tooth-gnash where the confusing and scary democratic majority won't bother them. </div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;">Yeah... pretty unqualified support for the unsurpassed arrogance of a mere 200 years of—badly executed—Cartesian reductionism... <i>suffocating </i>atmosphere, <i>poisoned</i> land, and <i>smothered</i> oceans! This is found everywhere else, folks; it doesn't HAVE to be here.</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><b><div style="text-align: justify;"><b><i>Turn up Plato</i></b>. Tell Aristotle to <i>push a sock in it for a while</i>. Brighter lights reveal greater darknesses! That's <i><u>good</u></i> news!</div></b><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;">Simple <i>respect</i> is the larger reality, forgetting that I'm not shilling for the "crazies," so much. I suspect they've got things as screwed up as anybody, but they are sincere and only there where they are, in large part, <i>anyway</i> because proud science doesn't deliver on its arrogant presumption to explain the <b><i><u>obvious</u></i></b> paranormal, the paranormal more obvious to the rank and file, at any rate! Astoundingly, rather, it professes, proclaims, and pontificates to be its default arbiter (!!!), even as it won't investigate what it arbitrates! Why? Because they think they understand the "danger" in it or simply deny same for cash! These summarily addressed? They <i>won't </i>or <i>can't</i>... and <i>don't at "Rubber's Road"</i>! Pretty nastily, too. <a href="https://alienviewgroup.blogspot.com/2023/08/klasskurtxia-never-in-good-way.html" target="_blank">Klasskurtxians</a> ARE, by <i>definition</i>.</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;">Be that as it may. Better just give up, those who beg their own moderation, on trying to sell the same old discredited paradigms to members on a world stage, even one as tiny as this one. You are not here to teach, preach, or otherwise sermonize the "one true world" view; you are here to communicate, listen, learn, and, first, share what's sharable. We are ALL teachers here, just as we are all students. <b><i>Know when to learn to learn when to teach</i></b>!</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;">Get used to it, abide by the inclusive rules of a just and sensible society of pragmatic sobriety, or recuse yourselves from our human <b><i>social </i></b>equation... to sell your soul to the <b><i>corporate </i></b>one. Or the religious one... where distinctions must be made... That's an <i>alien </i>view... a poet's view. </div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;">See, socially, <b>we serve ourselves and are our <i><u>sole</u></i> salvation</b> and that's the way it's always been. God was just a marketing strategy. It wasn't God runnin' up the stairs of the burnin' twin towers. </div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;">A corporation or a religion will only ever serve the corporation or religion to be the end of the general happiness... That's the intuition here... and that's the history. We <b><i><u>can</u></i></b> write new equations and algorithms, ones less reptilian and more mammalian. It's just <b><i><u>choice </u></i></b>as was pointed out earlier. </div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;">Now, get off my lawn, reptiles. </div></span></div>Alfred Lehmberghttp://www.blogger.com/profile/02028589165474437987noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10137551.post-83054978022555333752023-09-23T11:26:00.000-04:002023-09-23T11:26:40.933-04:00The Porcine "Status Quo"<div style="text-align: center;"><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEghaIPhrpw-b71REhtzFJFF9mZXHF-4rEuAK5U5ZCHBXJRHBSLqHmDGyt9WsfsBv3n1SL6bgQykdG31bMMnR7MtoxufgJrdb8ho1y-mJOhrVPpinsSWljjE2N1nFRj67g74xHj-JIRgPR_OcV4IPydckYY89zGJQEfwGhsiEW9ZIqDjEbWcO6j7/s2155/chin346.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="2155" data-original-width="1381" height="691" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEghaIPhrpw-b71REhtzFJFF9mZXHF-4rEuAK5U5ZCHBXJRHBSLqHmDGyt9WsfsBv3n1SL6bgQykdG31bMMnR7MtoxufgJrdb8ho1y-mJOhrVPpinsSWljjE2N1nFRj67g74xHj-JIRgPR_OcV4IPydckYY89zGJQEfwGhsiEW9ZIqDjEbWcO6j7/w443-h691/chin346.jpg" width="443" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><span style="font-size: xx-large;">.</span></div></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-size: x-large;">.</span></div><br /><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-size: large;"><span>O</span><span>ne pays his price for thinking thoughts... </span></span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-size: large;">...regards those "ebbs" and "flows"... </span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-size: large;">of an <b><i>inculcated gracelessness</i></b> </span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-size: large;">we've come to know and loathe. </span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-size: large;">.</span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-size: large;">This "inculcated gracelessness" </span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-size: large;">is from the "top," my friends, </span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-size: large;">to cloud our sensibilities </span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-size: large;">to the facts of their pretense. </span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-size: large;">What <i><b>are</b></i> the smooth mechanics </span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-size: large;">of this "system" they bestow?

It's a tough sell, admittedly. 1950's Sciencefictiony-sounding nonsense... air war with aliens, indeed. Indeed?

It has been seventy-one years, today, since a 12-foot-tall <i>extraterrestrial</i> (yes!), a metal-clad <i>giant</i>... roamed the woods of Flatwoods, WV!

It wasn't on fire, but it was reddish-orange and was very fast... and I knew as low as it was, just clearing the treetops, that it was going to land someplace close, someplace very close in our county.

Then I recognized, it wasn't—and it was bigger than an ordinary aircraft you'd see in this area at the time... It came a little bit above the height of the trees... It had a clearer, brighter illuminated light from the top and was kind of orange-red. The top of it had the reflection of a light that I would describe today as a mercury vapor light. It didn't resemble a meteor to me. To me, the object I saw was a craft... I had the general feeling that whatever it was, [it] had landed. It was coming down, not very far over the treetops, until it came in behind the trees that follow the ridge... I knew it was up there and I knew with the reflection, the light stopped there, and I could see the reflection of it through the trees.

Passing through Frametown at about 8:00 p.m., their car inexplicably stalled and refused to restart. Shortly thereafter, the young couple entered into an unexpected nightmare as they encountered an imposing and otherworldy 9-foot-tall alien being, revealing itself, reportedly, near the area of their stalled vehicle! The reader is reminded that stranger things have likely happened. </span></div><div style="background-color: white; font-family: Calibri, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><span style="color: #050505; font-family: "Times New Roman", Times, serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="background-color: white; font-family: Calibri, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><span style="color: #050505; font-family: "Times New Roman", Times, serif; font-size: large;">Subjects as yet unaware of an "alien" presence, the area where their car had stalled became inexplicably engulfed with a sickening sulfurous gas, (reminiscent of Flatwoods!)! George Snitowsky exited his stalled car and lifted the hood to examine the battery. He wanted desperately to restart the car and get away! Perhaps this was some kind of chemical spill he'd reflected... and there was the baby to think about! </span></div><div style="background-color: white; font-family: Calibri, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><span style="color: #050505; font-family: "Times New Roman", Times, serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="background-color: white; font-family: Calibri, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: large;"><span style="color: #050505; font-family: "Times New Roman", Times, serif;">After several unsuccessful attempts to restart the engine, he then noticed a glowing elliptically-shaped UFO "thing" that floated out in the distance of the woods.

I regret you can't catch the "wave," if you can't, eh?<br /></span><ul><li><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></li></ul><span style="font-size: large;">Tsk.<br /></span><ul><li><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></li></ul><span style="font-size: large;">Yes, words are weapons and tools! ...Immortal and magic, too! They can be in more than one place at the same time and they even travel long distances in time...<br /></span><ul><li><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></li></ul><span style="font-size: large;">...But first, they are a paint perceived in a mind's eye. They create pictures in the brain with brushes moving at the speed of thought to take the reader where the reader's never been... or where the reader <i>needs</i> to go... again...<br /></span><ul><li><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></li></ul><span style="font-size: large;">...Still not "getting it," unsettled reader?<br /></span><ul><li><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></li></ul><span style="font-size: large;">I submit that you might try just a little harder than a quick read on the "can" to facilitate or assist same. I write to improve us both, Sir or Madam, as I said, and leave the lower common denominator—quickly-digested—banal... to a legion of others <i>interested </i>in such. No literary snobbery here, just a preference for <strong><em>off</em></strong> an established path, <strong><em>beyond</em></strong> the "conventional wisdom," and <strong><em>outside</em></strong> the limiting "box," eh?<br /></span><ul><li><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></li></ul><span style="font-size: large;"><strong><em>As the past </em></strong><strong><em>confuses </em></strong><strong><em>us, the present </em></strong><strong><em>tempts </em></strong><strong><em>us, and the future frightens us? Uhhh... use <u>two</u> visits to the can!</em></strong><br /></span><ul><li><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></li></ul><span style="font-size: large;">Besides, as I made abundantly clear in the entirely unashamed poetry above (<i>if one was paying attention</i>) maybe we need to more appreciate that "facilitating fog" protested! Perhaps these perceived mists are a creative mechanism, actually, a mechanism allowing the reader to get up a little closer to the discomfiting subject under scrutiny... for more of a <strong><em>shared</em></strong> and <strong><em>synergistic</em></strong> understanding, eh?<br /></span><ul><li><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></li></ul><span style="font-size: large;">When not kissing... Reality <strong><em>does</em></strong> bite!<br /></span><ul><li><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></li></ul><span style="font-size: large;">Without this artful mechanism? What remains may be too threatening a figure to countenance? Perhaps. We have to risk it.<br /></span><ul><li><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></li></ul><span style="font-size: large;">This aforementioned and unrepentant literary zeitgeist is composed of hissing blades with claws like steak knives and teeth like envenomed Roman short swords. Seriously, let the verse and painstaking prose be a <strong><em>floral bouquet</em></strong> held in the dangerous paw of such as is described, eh? It remains, <b><i><u>this</u></i></b> intimated though offended beast won't suffer <i>disrespect</i>, <i>aspersions </i>on character, or <i>treachery</i>.<br /></span><ul><li><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></li></ul><span style="font-size: large;">...Posted...<br /></span><ul><li><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></li></ul><span style="font-size: large;">Back at the ranch, I concede that today's <strong><em>arrogant and pissed-off authoritarian neo-pundit or psychopathic faux-patriot</em></strong> finds it convenient to <em>profess</em> a lack of understanding even when confronted with an egalitarian and oblique—if entirely direct—address of that understanding!<br /></span><ul><li><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></li></ul><span style="font-size: large;">Shaped-charge drops from my pen... as hard to understand? I think <b><i><u>not</u></i></b>, reader.<br /></span><ul><li><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></li></ul><span style="font-size: large;">...I don't <i>remotely</i> apologize, mind you, even as it goes without saying that one can query a specific lack of understanding at <strong><em>any</em></strong> time... sure, and we'll take it word for paint-filled word. But that's, actually, the <em>problem</em> isn't it? Ask not what your blogger has done for you... especially when it's <i>obvious; </i>especially if it's <u>constructively</u> <i>terrifying</i>.<br /></span><ul><li><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></li></ul><span style="font-size: large;">Trifling the author? One risks having the stainless steel blade-beast—alluded to above and pictured below—from leaping out of the fog, eh? Consider how useless your gun is in <b><u><i>that</i></u></b> scenario, eh? The word sneers at the gun because the finger writes and moves on reflecting a certain piety and aspiration to wit the gun can't appreciate.<br /></span><ul><li><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></li></ul><span style="font-size: large;">Was there an alternate <i>prediction</i>, <i>aspiration</i>, or <i>initiative</i>? Be the first on your f'n block! That's why, it is suspected, I don't often (ever?) get a "what did you mean by..." my "such and so." Critiques are bereft of interrogative, only invective and insult. The writer aspires to truth. Maybe that's the problem. I won't quote Jack Nicholson. <br /></span><ul><li><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></li></ul><span style="font-size: large;">I suppose, if there <b><i><u>was</u></i></b> that... mythical ...lack (?)... of understanding... but I suspect that there is no need to go there. In the first place there <b><i><u>is</u> </i></b>understanding enough. The silence of the unasked question speaks volumes! In the second? Personal cowardice, I suspect, is a <i>ready</i> culprit.<br /></span><ul><li><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></li></ul><span style="font-size: large;">...Though, it remains. Many have discovered a beating heart beneath all this hissing metal. <b><i>Most </i></b>can rest assured.<br /></span><ul><li><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></li></ul><span style="font-size: large;">It's the pompous human hubris sets me off, a lack of humility offends me, and sneers from the errant conflicted are to me as a full blue moon is to the "Loupe Garou." ...Attack my friends to unleash a <strong><em>real</em></strong> monster... eh?<br /></span><ul><li><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></li></ul><span style="font-size: large;">...Not my problem though. I continue my epic song of conscience at <b><i><u>my</u></i></b> pleasure and the pleasure of a few friends not threatened by my sincerity or embarrassed by my sincere aspiration to some instructive creativity. The rest can attempt to lead, <i>intelligently </i>follow... <i>or just get the hell out of my way</i>, eh?<br /></span><ul><li><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></li></ul><span style="font-size: large;"><a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_j7bcGmQbZDg/RjS5WcwudJI/AAAAAAAAAFg/VhKBP5_jmv8/s1600-h/Werewolf.jpg" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img alt="" border="0" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5058872076772734098" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_j7bcGmQbZDg/RjS5WcwudJI/AAAAAAAAAFg/VhKBP5_jmv8/s400/Werewolf.jpg" style="display: block; margin-bottom: 10px; margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto; margin-top: 0px; margin: 0px auto 10px; text-align: center;" /></a>I would soar and cleave.

The farm was located in Braxton County, home of the Flatwoods monster, but Feschino didn't know that yet. He was there to video document the mysterious crop circle rings appearing on his cousin's property overnight. This was done as a project for a film course at his college, a one-off and throw-away project...</span><span style="background-color: white; font-family: verdana; font-size: large;"><span style="font-style: inherit; font-variant-caps: inherit; font-variant-ligatures: inherit;"> </span></span></div><div style="background-color: white; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-top: 0px; text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: verdana; font-size: large; font-style: inherit; font-variant-caps: inherit; font-variant-ligatures: inherit;"><br /></span></div><div style="background-color: white; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-top: 0px; text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: verdana; font-size: large; font-style: inherit; font-variant-caps: inherit; font-variant-ligatures: inherit;">He would subsequently discover that the region was a hotbed for UFO sightings and so shared his documentation with British crop circle enthusiast, Colin Andrews. During this time, almost by accident, Feschino would become aware of the 1952 "Flatwoods Monster" and "Frametown Monster," UFO close encounters occurring in that very same area. The direction of Feschino's life would take a hard turn.</span></div><div style="background-color: white; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-top: 0px; text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: verdana; font-size: large; font-style: inherit; font-variant-caps: inherit; font-variant-ligatures: inherit;"><br /></span></div><div style="background-color: white; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-top: 0px; text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: verdana; font-size: large; font-style: inherit; font-variant-caps: inherit; font-variant-ligatures: inherit;">Unknowingly, he would become the undisputed authority and subject matter expert on these incidents! He would launch the first full-blown investigation into the case since the original researchers and investigators covered it back in 1952-1953. Too, Feschino would get close to all the principals in these related affairs! This would include 1952's horrific "Summer of Saucers," facilitating the affair's actualities. </span></div><div style="background-color: white; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-top: 0px; text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: verdana; font-size: large; font-style: inherit; font-variant-caps: inherit; font-variant-ligatures: inherit;"><br /></span></div><div style="background-color: white; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-top: 0px; text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: verdana; font-size: large; font-style: inherit; font-variant-caps: inherit; font-variant-ligatures: inherit;">Although the Flatwoods case was popular and appeared in the media throughout the years, the truth behind the Flatwoods Monster incident was not known at all! Before Feschino's attention, Flatwoods was on the way to becoming a mere folklore story in the history books, one to be ridiculed as a dismissable myth. Far from myth, Flatwoods is revealed as only the end of a much bigger story. </span></div><div style="background-color: white; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-top: 0px; text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: verdana; font-size: large; font-style: inherit; font-variant-caps: inherit; font-variant-ligatures: inherit;"><br /></span></div><div style="background-color: white; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-top: 0px; text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: verdana; font-size: large;"><span face="Calibri, Helvetica, sans-serif, EmojiFont, "Apple Color Emoji", "Segoe UI Emoji", NotoColorEmoji, "Segoe UI Symbol", "Android Emoji", EmojiSymbols" style="font-style: inherit; font-variant-caps: inherit; font-variant-ligatures: inherit;">Over the years, the Flatwoods case sat dormant with only rehashed stories and convoluted articles appearing in the media.

text-align: justify;">During the Project Blue Book era, when witnesses had a UFO sighting and wanted to report it, <i>officially</i>, they would be directed to contact, believe it or not, the USAF! In turn, they would receive an 8-page "<b>T</b>entative <b>O</b>bservers <b>Q</b>uestionnaire" with several questions to fill out and return.</div><div style="font-size: x-large; text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div style="font-size: x-large; text-align: justify;">When The Air Force received the <b>TOQ</b>, they would <i>review </i>it, and in most cases, would <i>record </i>the sighting in a "PROJECT 10073 WORKSHEET" or some other form of documentation. This would be appended to and would then accompany the Blue Book questionnaire for its filing.</div><div style="font-size: x-large; text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div style="font-size: x-large; text-align: justify;">Finally, the UFO sighting would be evaluated in an official USAF "PROJECT 10073 <b>RECORD CARD</b>." These original "Project Blue Book" documents were classified and stored away in the Air Force archives. They were <i>unavailable </i>to the public.</div><div style="font-size: x-large; text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div style="font-size: x-large; text-align: justify;">The files were later declassified only in 1969 <i>when </i>the <b>Project Blue Book</b><i> </i>initiative was<i> closed</i>. These documents were then photographed and processed to <i>degrading </i>microfilm.</div><div style="font-size: x-large; text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div style="font-size: x-large; text-align: justify;">Later in the mid-1970s, the <b>United States National Archives</b> in Washington, D.C. became the holder of the <b>Blue Book</b> microfilms. They were made available to the public... Yet, there were <i>changes</i>!</div><div style="font-size: x-large; text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div style="font-size: x-large; text-align: justify;"><i>The documents were not in their original state</i>! All the documents contained in these microfilm reels, the reader discovers, were <i>reproduced</i> copies and had also been <i>ruinously </i>redacted. The eyewitnesses' names, most of their pertinent personal informations, and <i>other </i>informations were blacked out. Further, since these documents were copies and not in their original state, they had become severely faded by the time they were copied to film. This made many of them <i>barely </i>legible.</div><div style="font-size: x-large; text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div style="font-size: x-large; text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div style="font-size: x-large; text-align: justify;"> <a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgXRi-rdQuCpwqm0lAhDUS8qMWPRX9V-j1L1o3SRhbvsHQuKQ_yPUJDe2xPgs14l2R-XX8Qq1BL2b1BIFgnnLZvwiuJHXU_5XdEYCpYHkRyDGwdyVRU1XUgcXbYzQR5hUocizoszNrbSpx33aoLKwaNjkDdhvoS9h2RbSYx5MIOkgmFkwaN1A/s299/unnamed4.png"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgXRi-rdQuCpwqm0lAhDUS8qMWPRX9V-j1L1o3SRhbvsHQuKQ_yPUJDe2xPgs14l2R-XX8Qq1BL2b1BIFgnnLZvwiuJHXU_5XdEYCpYHkRyDGwdyVRU1XUgcXbYzQR5hUocizoszNrbSpx33aoLKwaNjkDdhvoS9h2RbSYx5MIOkgmFkwaN1A/s1600/unnamed4.png" /></a></div><div style="font-size: x-large; text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div style="font-size: x-large; text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div style="font-size: x-large; text-align: justify;">When illustrator Frank Feschino, Jr. obtained the <b>Project Blue Book</b> microfilm reel for the September 12, 1952 UFO sightings, he was <i>shocked </i>to discover that most of the documents were so faded that dozens of the pages were only very <i>barely </i>understandable. Some of the most vitally important information in these faded documents, which by now couldn't be easily (or at all!) read, was the handwritten information filled out in the aforementioned questionnaire by the actual witnesses. Feschino cleverly xeroxed all the microfilm pages and blew them up utilizing his art training and equipment skills. These skills included his honed talents regarding calligraphy.</div><div style="font-size: x-large; text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div style="font-size: x-large; text-align: justify;">Feschino had a key school-trained eye and spent <i>countless </i>hours over many years refurbishing these documents to their new legibility. He studied handwriting analysis books and enlarged many of the documents, as was said, and then, word by word, he began to <i>decipher </i>them, re-inking them back to their original state.</div><div style="font-size: x-large; text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div style="font-size: x-large; text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div style="font-size: x-large; text-align: justify;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgQzQwsgoECPnQ15KqeQiiR00YEMJNfQCErN9KxqXyKbj5jbLiMo3Rapeud_tjEPStFdRIkMtNZj062_pZlE_0wxGqkFQLxupKq0ntOcmhyA8QwyJB1n8H11PSSqvxc4SUdo8XAkg989UTl1Z7dcWMbV3Cpm-8qdh9tFq0QyhoCEz4TUZQVQA/s640/unnamed6.png" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"> <img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgQzQwsgoECPnQ15KqeQiiR00YEMJNfQCErN9KxqXyKbj5jbLiMo3Rapeud_tjEPStFdRIkMtNZj062_pZlE_0wxGqkFQLxupKq0ntOcmhyA8QwyJB1n8H11PSSqvxc4SUdo8XAkg989UTl1Z7dcWMbV3Cpm-8qdh9tFq0QyhoCEz4TUZQVQA/s320/unnamed6.png" /></a></div><div style="font-size: x-large; text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div style="font-size: x-large; text-align: justify;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjr3UqsktIuQs6iZ0kgvdjRUAJxXxKS3a0zGt-T-t5GEhlBLPU-4Wrs7uGNcranz2U8ZcYeA5t1QptYzaSE79rsdwEM6-Ojug_b8DIkgS-PXfMCZcPq7qhttw3fUW2uVHiPfEZstZsA99EkvlL2zKETLdrFFqgUyfIp48UOj7Arn4p0vyVd6g/s320/unnamed5.png"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjr3UqsktIuQs6iZ0kgvdjRUAJxXxKS3a0zGt-T-t5GEhlBLPU-4Wrs7uGNcranz2U8ZcYeA5t1QptYzaSE79rsdwEM6-Ojug_b8DIkgS-PXfMCZcPq7qhttw3fUW2uVHiPfEZstZsA99EkvlL2zKETLdrFFqgUyfIp48UOj7Arn4p0vyVd6g/s1600/unnamed5.png" /></a></div><div style="font-size: x-large; text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div style="font-size: x-large; text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div style="font-size: x-large; text-align: justify;">One such key document in the Project Blue Book records, shown above, was the report of a Sept. 12 UFO officially evaluated as the "meteor of 12 Sep." We've heard about <b><i>that </i></b>mythical bolus, <i>before</i>!</div><div style="font-size: x-large; text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div style="font-size: x-large; text-align: justify;">This report was only one of the many UFOs sighted over, and near, the Washington, D.C. area during the September 12, 1952 flap that night... as we have pointed out, exhaustively, earlier on this site. The witness, a man from "<i>District Heights, Maryland</i>" explained his UFO sighting in his own "<b>T</b>entative <b>O</b>bservers <b>Q</b>uestionnaire." According to the witness, the object he saw was about the size of an "<i>automobile</i>" and the length of his observation was, "<i>11 or 12 seconds</i>." <b>11 or 12 seconds</b>... <i>time that out</i>... it's a <i>long </i>time for a meteor... too long.</div><div style="font-size: x-large; text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div style="font-size: x-large; text-align: justify;">This is from page 8 section "30" of that <b>Project Blue Book</b> eyewitness "<b>T</b>entative <b>O</b>bservers <b>Q</b>uestionnaire." In the photo above, the spiral binder of documents displays the near unreadable raw faded copy as it was printed directly from the September 12, 1952 microfilm. Feschino enlarged this document to 2x3 feet and carefully analyzed the writer's handwriting. He studied his writing style, the formation, and the characteristics of his letters. He studied the flow of words used in each sentence. Then, after several hours of review, Feschino was <i>finally </i>able to reconstruct and re-ink its entire contents! He then scaled the document back down to its original size.</div><div style="font-size: x-large; text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div style="font-size: x-large; text-align: justify;">The document that Frank re-inked is on the clipboard. It can now be easily read many years after the witness wrote it back in 1952. Note that the eyewitnesses' name was blacked out by the Air Force. This UFO sighting, <i>said to be a <b><u>meteor</u></b> by the Air Force</i>, occurred over <i>District Heights, Maryland</i> at 7:00 pm EST. In part, the most pertinent information that the witness wrote here in section "30" gives the following details of his sighting:</div><div style="font-size: x-large; text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div style="font-size: x-large; text-align: justify;"><blockquote>"<i><b>I don't know what it was I saw and will insist on what it was NOT, I have seen meteors, and the newspapers will have a hard time telling me I was looking at a meteor on 9/12 [September 12]—maybe it sounds good to persons who didn't see the object—this THING was being flown...In summation, this may sound as though I am inferring some fraud in the reports given to the public, perhaps responsible parties believe they are true and the best information available, but did they see the thing on 9/12? [Name blacked out]</b></i>"</blockquote></div><div style="font-size: x-large; text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div style="font-size: x-large; text-align: justify;">In closing, I would like to refer to another question in the questionnaire that was answered by the witness in a straightforward manner. The question was, "<i>In your opinion what do you think the object was and what might have caused it</i>?" </div><div style="font-size: x-large; text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div style="font-size: x-large; text-align: justify;">Here, reader, I would have loved to have seen <b>Bluebook Chief</b> Captain Ed Ruppelt's facial expression when he read this witness's answer. The eyewitness wrote,</div><div style="font-size: x-large; text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><blockquote><span style="font-size: large;">"</span><i><span style="font-size: large;"><b>This is your job.

Only, he is not. </div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;">This is especially in light of the fact that he arduously satisfied the requirements for teaching professionally within it. Yet... he never found a lasting job. ...Circumstances <b><i>on</i></b> this writer? ...Maybe. A hard look at <i>oneself </i>is <i>always </i>in order. Not many live by THAT sentiment, eh?</div></span><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">This is a "professional" shunning despite a long <i>certified </i>record of exceptional performance, awards and decorations, tip-top academic accomplishment, and absolutely superb references. A Bronze Star and a Meritorious Service Medal with three Oak Leaf Clusters in 23 years of veteran military service prefaced a Bachelor of Science earned Summa Cum Laude. The writer was not shoving any of this up anyone's nose. The writer knew he was in at the absolute bottom of a new career track and he had no experience, <b><i>but</i></b> experience. He aspired to an intelligent humility. </span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">This is despite a <i>much-ballyhooed</i> and allegedly <i>critical</i> shortage of trained personnel in the public education sector! Remains, it's clear he's not wanted. How does this irony work? A mirror of self-reflection doesn't seem to provide enough of the required constructive feedback. He'd own up to fault, his own, having internalized over many years that unadmitted error only compounds itself. </span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">This writer thinks; however, he might <i>know</i>. Fresh off a 23-year professional military career where he had functioned splendidly, by report, as a team member in an organization that <i>had</i> to work (emphasize <b><i>had </i></b>to work!), he was oil in water as regards the public education community. Why? </span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">Forget this writer's passionate interest in "twitchy" social issues like abortion, racism, LGBTQ+ issues, better-cited historical "revisionist" positions, or UFOs with all <b><i>their </i></b>associated subjects and ancillaries... and lack of interest <i>there</i> may only paint one a</span><span style="font-size: large;">s <i>unintelligent</i>, <i>unprogressive</i>, <i>unimaginative</i>, and <i>unbrave</i>! F</span><span style="font-size: large;">orget this writer's rational support for unpopular positions, difficult causes, and <i>cleaner less hypocritical </i>ideals. These are not germane to the discussion at hand... and were never a problem in the military. </span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">The reason the writer had not found a job in public education is that he was all too well aware that, and contrary to a <b>military system</b>, the <b>public education system</b>, and by <i>design</i> one supposes, does NOT <b><i>have </i></b>to work! Kids, too many kids, can fall through cracks... <i>and that's just fine</i>. Well... <b><i>isn't it</i></b><i>?</i> History would seem to point to that.</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">Moreover, the <b><i>power </i></b>people engaged in it are too busily prosecuting their <i>dictated social imperative</i> to <b><i>discourage</i></b> critical thinking and intelligent patterning leadership, thus facilitating the production of docile "employees</span><span style="font-size: x-large;">,</span><span style="font-size: x-large;">" and for as little expenditure as is humanly (</span><i style="font-size: x-large;">and inhumanely</i><span style="font-size: x-large;">!) possible! </span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">Public education (<i>as it is now practiced</i>) is a likely sham and an evil hypocrisy, this writer continues to discover, and getting worse over time. The writer is quick to add that Public Education cannot be abandoned... only certainly improved, of f'n <b><i><u>needs</u></i></b>. </span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">Currently, it but does its part to fill our Nation's prisons, it but celebrates only the blandest of forgettable mediocrities, and it but vigorously discourages creative individuality. Its work is to disempower the individual, corrode our personal autonomy, and produce, ideally, an ignorant but malleable American citizenry with artless souls as dry as old chalk dust in a decaying classroom smelling of urine and vomit. </span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">That classroom is a real place. It is filled with real people... in America. Alabama, to be precise.</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">This writer has the number of the public education system, and it is a number that stands contrary to every valid educational ideal presently getting lip service (only) in our American culture today. Flatly, i</span><span style="font-size: large;">t doesn't <b><i>have</i></b> to <u>work</u>, reader! <i>That's what slums and prisons are for</i>! </span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">Moreover, "polite society" is loath to spend coveted dollars producing a creative and intelligent society...but, a society <i><u><b>more</b></u></i> difficult to <i>betray</i>, <i>mislead</i>, and otherwise <i>manipulate </i>or conveniently <i>control</i>. Too, the perspective of our public education system includes the jealous maintenance of an old guard's status quo, the continued resuscitation of outmoded ideals benefiting the few, and the convenient reproductionist's production of the lowest of <b><i><u>low</u></i></b> common denominators. </span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">This reality lacks art, has no music, prosecutes the homogenization of individual souls to soulless sameness, and is the shame of a <b><i><u>sentiently</u></i></b> woke first world... It's just the way we want it, apparently.</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">Woke? Cool jets! Woke means conscience. If you don't aspire to one, you're a beast. There's no lipstick for that pig. Woke used in the pejorative self-defines one as uninterested in having a conscience... or a proper public school system for our children. We could all be better served... we're not served short-sheeting our kids. Posted! </span></div>Alfred Lehmberghttp://www.blogger.com/profile/02028589165474437987noreply@blogger.com0
