The Piece of Mindful blog is in a state of transition … this format has been sent off to some local WordPress guys for a workover, and is in beta stage. In the end, if all goes according to plan, a trip here will offer one of several choices … the four authors who currently write here, or the various menus on the side. There will be some glitches … all photos used in the past will revert to a standard size, but with minimal effort we can fix that.
The object is to get away from the one-headline-per-day format. I write more often than the others, and so this blog seems to be me me me. I don’t like that. Tyrone, Steve and Maarten each have their own outlooks and voices. They each have their own set of … I don’t like this word but will use it anyway … followers. Our readers tend towards being a herd of cats more than anything.
But you get the idea … people who like Tyrone and his acerbic wit and keen insight will be able to click on his corner and find all he has posted here … this seems to be a hitch right now with the WordPress guys, but it will be fixed. It will be a format in which new writers will not be drowned out, and will each have their own platform. I will just sit back and enjoy the work that flows through here, chipping in now and then but taking time to work on larger projects, which is what I most enjoy.
I await the “Marketing Type Guys”, the name chosen by the computer affeciandos who are situated right here in our little mountain community.
That aside, and unrelated, I just returned from a trip to the northwest to visit relatives, and before I venture into what might appear negative, I want to mention how pleased I am with my children and their spouses. They are solid people with good parenting skills. Each of them married a worthy spouse, and they are all thriving. It is so comforting to watch them patiently spend time with their kids, foregoing the pleasures of youth and buckling down for the important stuff, raising kids. They are serious people, and I take not so much pride as comfort in watching them get on with the business of adulthood. The grandkids are in good hands.
The only negative is not about them. They are like almost everyone in this regard. They seem to be caught up in the flow of tragic events. I could not help but notice a negative backdrop, as if they presume to be the last generation before cataclysm. The planet is going to hell. It is a universal sentiment, and wrong. The planet is in flux, a constant state, and will continue to change, but will not self-immolate. Humans will adapt and survive far into the foreseeable future and beyond.
As I like to say, sit back and relax and get ready to enjoy Canadian wine.
Further, the “me too” psyop that followed the Harvey Weinstein hoax appears to have hit its mark … universal victimhood. Women are victims of men rather than active participants in life. Sure there is some grabbing and groping, often inappropriate but not devastating to the human psyche. Women know that men watch them, want them, and they like it that way. Their job appears to be allurement and enticement, allowing them to pick and choose which advances they will entertain and which not. They don’t actively seek male attention. Like men, they like fantasy but then step back before fingers get burned.
They don’t have to seek attention. They only need to manage it. It might be a game of dare, but it is one that almost everyone plays, even in the retirement homes. It makes life so much more enjoyable.
The pedophilia and rape regimes that have been the focus of news are fake … but I emphasize again that pedophiles and rapists are real. Murder is real, and happens every day, but for purposes of agitprop is blown out of proportion into fake mass shooting events, and prior to that fake serial killers. The same applies to pedophilia and rape … these things are real, so always watch your back. But for agitation purposes they are waaaay overblown.
The object appears to be that constant state of tension we feel all about us. Pessimism about the future and fear about the present … this seems the norm. It is no way to live. It is what the overlords want, as it keeps us distracted and prevents us from engaging our brains. I am not the first to notice that these hoax mass shootings easily fall apart on close examination. I also notice that very few people seem capable of exercising the critical judgment necessary to do that examination.
So the message here is optimism. Life is as good as we want to make it. It offers a thousand ways to be happy, and an equal number if paths towards pessimism, anger, and agitation. It is a choice. It is within our power to be happy, or not.

“A total of 909 individuals died in Jonestown”
The next prime number after 909 is…911
Jonestown was the largest single loss of American civilian life in a deliberate act until….9/11
Jonestown took place on November 18, 1978. The very same day the group Earth, Wind & Fire released a song called “September”.
November 18, 1978 was day number 322.
You’ll recognize 322 as the Skull and Bones number.
With it being day number 322 that obviously left 43 days remaining in the year.
George W. Bush – a Skull and Bones member – was the 43rd POTUS, and was in charge for 9/11.
A spook marker is Jim Jones “dying” at age 47.
And I can’t help but notice that Leo Ryan had a Jesuit and U.S. Navy background and that he served as the U.S. Representative from California’s 11th congressional district and that he was “killed” 11 days after he was re-elected for a fourth term.

I read that Breaking Bad creator Vince Gilligan has been hired to write a limited series for HBO about Jonestown:http://rol.st/2yUSuzu
The end of the article notes that Jake Gyllenhaal is producing a series for Showtime that focuses on cult leaders, beginning with Jim Jones.
And then, of course, there is the lastest season of “American Horror Story,” subtitled “Cult.”
Also, as MM notes, Netflix is heavily pushing “true” stories of old “serial killers.”
I wonder if all this means that our news programmers are getting as sick of the mass shootings as we are and plan on switching gears to serial killers and cult leaders again. No doubt they’ll put some interesting twists on the same old story, incorporating the Internet and social media. Prediction: The first big cult leader/serial killer of the 21st century will be a “conspiracy theorist.”
As an aside, I’m intensely curious about Vince Gilligan. He has said that he often talked with and even worked collaboratively with the CIA when he produced and wrote for the X-Files. We all know the pilot episode of Lone Gunmen he co-wrote predicted 9/11 six months before it happened. Now he’s a hired gun for more Jonestown propaganda. And yet … when watching Breaking Bad and Better Call Saul, and listening to him in interviews and his shows’ insider podcasts, I get the sense that even though he’s an “insider” who knows what’s going on behind the scenes, he’s not on board with it. In one interview, when asked about his political views, he said he’s really not interested in popular politics, he’s interested in “deep politics,” and that the people involved in “deep politics” are people trying to protect their families. I don’t get the sense that he’s a member of those families, but he’s working for them. Both “Breaking Bad” and “Better Call Saul” are about good men turning bad — and “Breaking Bad” is absolutely chock-full of 9/11 references, blatant and obscure.
All this to say I’d love to read some blog posts about Jonestown, Vince Gilligan, or both. Maybe I should write them. As Mark says though, it would be such a huge undertaking.

It’s just a number that follows me around, but, numerologically, apparently I’m a number six or a three or something, but it’s all part of nine.”
And note that “The Beatles”, also known as the White Album was released on the fifth anniversary of JFK’s “assassination” and 169 days after RFK’s similarly fake assassination and had a song on it called “Happiness Is a Warm Gun” and people didn’t think it was “insensitive” or anything?

Peanuts merchandise was ubiquitous that year. A lot of people were probably sick of it. There seemed like very little to be happy about at that time.

The glass panels measured 22″ X 7′ ft. The towers, like all storied buildings, were hermetically sealed and the roof-top was locked. No one could have jumped out. My evidence is a book written on the building of the twin towers published long before the disaster. You can search the book at Amazon. I’ve forgotten the title and boring author. As a side-note, Trump is only mentioned in one or two sentences in this Twin Towers book which is a tell-all about the Manhattan wheeler-dealers involved. So we’ve been sold a bill of goods that Trump is a mover-shaker….right!

The Jonestown “massacre” has all the hallmarks of a classical hoax. It bears resemblance to the Waco, Texas David Koresh hoax, slightly treated by Mathis.
I planned to look into this hoax in detail, but other interests prevented that. Just laying out some clues for others to follow up on:
1 – the numerology, at 18-11 (=9-11)-’78
2 – John Jones, son of James Thurman Jones (Uma Thurman?), genealogy: descendant of: Jacob Shank, married to Sarah Shank, Jacob being the son of Rachel Shank, entries on Geni.com administered by Jonathan Seth Wolfson
3 – “Jones and a childhood friend both claimed that his father, who was an alcoholic, was associated with the Ku Klux Klan” (Wikipedia). As the Klan was a jewish plot, so was his father and Jones probably too
4 – Guyana was a British outpost in South America, heavily guarded by Intelligence
5 – “The following year, Jones married nurse Marceline Baldwin (1927–1978)” Wiki, think Alec Baldwin and the other Baldwin actor guild
6 – “He also became frustrated with ostracism of open communists in the United States, especially during the trial of Julius and Ethel Rosenberg. This frustration, among other things, provoked a seminal moment for Jones in which he asked himself, “How can I demonstrate my Marxism? The thought was, infiltrate the church.”” (Wiki) – Julius and Ethel Rosenberg were influential jews in the marxist set-up that Jones played into.
7 – “Deputy Minister Reid finally assured Marceline Jones that the Guyana Defence Force would not invade Jonestown.” (Wiki) – allegedly a (dangerous) sect present in the country, but the minister decides to do nothing?
8 – “Though Lane represented himself as a disinterested party, Jones was actually paying him $6,000 per month to generate such theories.” – Wiki, Jonestown page, “Conspiracy” section, similar to “OK city bombing”, “Vegas” and “Oslo”, blackwashing “government conspiracy” theorists/thinkers
9 – “According to escaped Temple member Odell Rhodes, the first to take the poison were Ruletta Paul and her one-year-old infant. A syringe with its needle removed was used to squirt poison into the infant’s mouth, after which Paul squirted another syringe into her own mouth.[145] Stanley Clayton also witnessed mothers with their babies first approach the tub containing the poison. Clayton said that Jones approached people to encourage them to drink the poison and that, after adults saw the poison begin to take effect, “they showed a reluctance to die.”” – Rhodes, from the families (Cecil Rhodes), Ruletta Paul probably jewish, more “ISIS-like” horrors apt for a movie, not for real life
10 – “The only medical doctor to initially examine the scene at Jonestown was Mootoo, who visually examined over 200 bodies and later told a Guyanese coroner’s jury to have seen needle marks on at least 70. However, no determination was made as to whether those injections initiated the introduction of poison or whether they were so-called “relief” injections to quicken death and reduce suffering from convulsions from those who had previously taken poison orally. Mootoo and American pathologist Dr. Lynn Crook determined that cyanide was present in some bodies, while analysis of the contents of the vat revealed several tranquilizers as well as potassium cyanide and potassium chloride” – so 1 (ONE!) doctor present and this voodoo, sorry Mootoo doctor was easily controlled
11 – “Doctors in the U.S. performed autopsies on only seven bodies, including those of Jones, Moore, Dr. Lawrence Schacht, and Carolyn Layton.” – sure, why assess all the bodies?
12 – “Found near Marceline Jones’ body was a typewritten note, dated November 18, 1978, signed by Marceline and witnessed by Moore and Maria Katsaris, stating:
I, Marceline Jones, leave all bank assets in my name to the Communist Party of the USSR. The above bank accounts are located in the Bank of Nova Scotia in Nassau, Bahamas.
Please be sure that these assets do get to the USSR. I especially request that none of these are allowed to get into the hands of my adopted daughter, Suzanne Jones Cartmell.” – really? Where did Marceline get the time to “typewite” a letter in the alleged mayhem of “Jonestown”? And why does some communist woman have a Bahamas bank account? Because offshore bank accounts are known for their marxist operations, or what?
13 – ” Harvey Milk – a member of the San Francisco Board of Supervisors who was supported by the Temple – wrote a letter to President Jimmy Carter defending Jones “as a man of the highest character,” and stating that Temple defectors were trying to “damage Rev. Jones’ reputation” with “apparent bold-faced lies”.” – here we have him again, Milk, do we really believe this shite?
14 – “Jones also thought that Guyana was small, poor, and independent enough for him to easily obtain influence and official protection” – what I think is that Guyana was poor, empty and far away enough to stage a massive hoax blackwashing both christianity, social ideas and thoughts about “government conspiracies”, heavily broadcasted on TV in the late 70s when ‘Nam was over and the 80s Kissinger wars were not started yet…
