This greeted me this morning, from “Trigger Man”:
Mark, you said there are “THREE” types of people who visit your blog, and I know where I fit in here,and so do you…I just chime in from time to time, and call it the way I see it… I know my comments here, are not appreciated, But..What you have here is more than just an attack on “B.M”…There is more than just a “Gatekeeper”.. There are keepers,and then there are “KEEPERS”, And with that being said…I think it’s time the TRIGGER MAN says, “Fare-Thee-Well”
Yeah, fare thee well.
This has been an interesting period, and my “gatekeeping” is insecure at best, as I am not hiding sacred knowledge or protecting myself or anyone. I sense an intrusion, starting with “Wang Dong Asphalt“, and then came Jackie Barlow and the trannies, so I am sensitive to things.
I eliminated a Motorhead comment that bordered on gematria. I would not normally do that, as it was only borderline. I think gematria is nonsense, the kind of stuff anyone can do if they unravel a ball of twine and then make shapes out of it. I have said repeatedly that signalling goes on among insiders to all of the fakery around us. If they think the numbers 8, 11 and 33 are significant, fine. They are not so to anyone outside their secret handshake crowd. I would have tolerated the Motorhead comment in a different time, but I sense things right now … maybe too much, so humor me.
By the way, at successive one-year periods in my life I have been 8, then 11, and then later 33 years old. I was born on April 20, a clever means of expressing “11.” You didn’t know this about me, I bet. I communicate regularly with a woman who has ancestors on Long Island who are distantly related to the Aldrich’s and Vanderbilt’s. My last name is Jewish. I can also introduce levity into a situation … yes, I can levitate. I am juiced. I am a gatekeeper.
Trigger Man’s comments seldom found pay dirt, and were usually flung like a mud ball in a baseball game. They didn’t fit but I left them alone.
And then there is the matter of B. Müller … of whom Motorhead says
“Yes, BM is very well versed at what she does. And if she is who I believe she to be, then time (again one of their tools) shall tell the truth in this zone.”
Barbara, or whatever her name, is I think simply a normal person with some narcissistic tendencies, never wrong, intolerant of criticism, quick to attempt to keep everyone in her sphere in their place at her feet. I can tolerate that and enjoy the attacks both ways. She’s taking it on the chin now. Welcome to the fray. Ryan T has attacked her in a direct and forceful manner. I appreciate directness, and think Motorhead’s comment is deliberately vague. I wonder what he knows that I do not.
Anyway, I recently joined, and then quit, a Paul is Dead forum. I introduced hard evidence, and was told by the site moderator that facial comparisons were not allowed in that forum. It was easy to see that “she”, “Desiree,” (whose photo reminded me of some of the vicsims in the Pulse Nightclub hoax), was charged with the job of keeping the hoax alive. Nothing new was going on there, but what was interesting was how invested the participants were that the “real” Paul McCartney died in 1966. When I and another suggested that the album clues were “extremely clever and great fun” and also that no one died, two participants angrily quit the forum. They needed Paul to be a sweet young man. The subtext was that someone murdered him and we need to solve that crime!. Oh, the anguish of crucifixion.
What I encounter on the Internet is high intelligence and low stupidity. It is a magnet for both. As John Cleese reminded us in a clever video a while back, intelligent people know they are that, but stupid people are not equipped to know they are stupid. Blogging is often fun just for that reason … stupid people are impervious to shame.

hello everyone, I have my fun every time I read speculations about my accent or language skills. Indeed I improved my writing skills a lot here in the last year or so. Practice makes perfect I guess. I do my best. I’m old school and had teachers who learned their stuff before the war, where education was compact but high quality. The most of the things they learned didn’t change since then, basics of mathematics or physics or chemistry for instance. At some point I realized that my perspective is full of things that I consider to be convincing only because I never really questioned them and I did so because I took the mass media for real and trusted them in general. Since I no longer trust the media, or to be more precise I’m convinced its only purpose was and is forming the opinion of masses and not informing the masses about what is going on,since then I’m looking differently at things. Which leads me to “shocking” conclusions as that organ transplants cannot work. I may be narcissistic but then who isn’t? But I’m definitely tolerant to critics and even mostly grateful for it. I only expect it to be based on counter arguments and not on what I call “believe in news”. My arguments always ground on this fundamentals my teachers gave me and which did not change despite all the manipulation everywhere. If my arguments are wrong then demonstrating this couldn’t be that difficult. Some time back I was wrong considering the ISS. I was convinced, we cannot travel to the moon but as long as we stick to the orbit, it should work. I was then convinced different in another forum by someone who simply explained that all objects on orbits first have to reach a certain speed we call “cosmic” which allows them to reach their orbit and which needs all the fuel in the rocket and then there is no fuel anymore to slow down on the way back and that all objects falling down can only farther accelerate their speed and will burn in the upper atmosphere as meteorites do. I had to swallow my proud (which is not big at all) and admit that I was wrong and not thinking far enough about it. I hope this explains my way of thinking a bit.

Barbara.

dear Gaia, my background is in electrical engineering and I can assure you, the ionosphere can only bounce radio waves within some very small frequency range we call “long wave”. It is not wide enough to transport the necessary information to broadcast a simple analog TV. It is only good enough to transport some bad quality audio information but then it can be received around the world, which is an amazing thing. Modern digital TV requires a very wide frequency spectrum to carry all the modulated signals. That’s why they use the GHz range for it. On the other side, I was watching satellite TV in Eastern Germany back then in the 80-s using equipment my skilled father partly made himself. There wasn’t much to watch though. I remember some french program broadcasted for a few hours daily. The dish was pointed to the geostationary orbit though and had to be precisely focused on the satellite. Otherwise nothing could be received. Then Hotbird came and suddenly we had lots of programs for our entertainment.

well, that’s not what I meant Mark. Objects on orbits cannot come back, being not able to slow down. That does not mean, they cannot orbit for a very long time. For instance there are some few geostationary satellites known to be slightly out of orbit, which can be photographed on long time exposure pics. And yet still they are there for many years now. Always at the same position, always with the same aberration in movement.

It’s nepotism pure. “I will review your paper but then you owe me one.” And if a “scientist” tries to point errors in a paper of one of his colleagues, he will get ostracized.

(I have made all Latin-rooted English words that have a Germanic form in both Dutch and German bold, just to support -another one- my earlier comment).
I have done some detailed reviews (not “official peer review” as in a journal or so) for friends and colleagues, analyzing every sentence in them (the TYCHOS review was the latest example). I also have read and skimmed through thousands of publications over the years. Indeed you are right; even simple language and spelling checks, which should happen even before submitting a paper, are poorly done, up to “respected” journals. Mislabeled images, poorly written conclusions and lack of clarity in data collection are common. Again; not “boasting”, just part of my job and personal interest.
But taking the pars (however big it is) to the toto and making statements as “science is…” is far too easy. The scientific method is a serious and valid philosophy, the structure of articles with methods, discussion, conclusion and further research recommendation is basically decent and the projection of politicized/controlled scientism upon all science is not justified.

the English language is a derivative from the German language which has its roots in the Indo-Germanic languages. English websites also call it Indo-European languages, which may be a sign of distraction. There is a linguistic split in Germany where the southern part is more original German and the north part more English oriented. It can be seen in the expressions preferred in certain dialects. It’s complicated anyway. I’m not much into gematria but I think they force certain numbers into news on purpose probably to encode there some sort of properties. Think of fakeness-level or maybe importance level. It’s a code we don’t have. Gematria may not be as fake as it looks though. Kabbala is a form of it or maybe the other way round. Famous writers used certain structures like a certain number of syllables per line to structure their texts. Using of rhymes comes to mind. In the past before writing became common it was a skill only very few could master. There wasn’t as many words as we have today and writers had to express complex ideas using very few words. That’s why we call it composing. Similar things do painters when they paint an object on the canvas for the first time. It’s not only about knowing the letters or using the brush.

It strikes me as a bit odd that English supposedly originated on an island and has become the primary language of CORPORATION. Getting into the etymology of that word is the joining of two words “CORP” which means DEAD and ORATION which means “to speak”.
Throughout time, the majority of the inhabitants of the islands known as The British Isles have not been able to afford to travel off of the island much if at all. This condition creates a perfect incubator to “originate” a new language that for all intents and purposes seems like “backwards” Latin. If you take almost any English word and try to pronounce it backwards it sounds almost Francois.
It seems to me that finding the true history of the English Language is a major key to understanding our current condition.
Some questions I have frequently asked and to which I have never received an answer is this: “Is there a COPYRIGHT TRADEMARK OWNER of the English Language?” It seems that there would have to be.

Now there are 52 cards in the deck, 52 weeks in the year and 52 White Keys on the Piano. The word/color “white” has two silent letters, leaving “wit” which shares a connection to “own” and the aforementioned things with both the Calendar and Deck of Cards having a “white” background.
Now The President of the United States has a place of business known as The White House and many Preachers and Priests wear white Robes in Church, Businessmen where white shirts and are called “white collar workers” and The Bride very often wears a White dress, a universal symbol of purity.

Said Wang Dong. No, CORP doesn’t mean “dead”. It comes from corpus, which means “body” in Latin. Yes, in the English and other languages “corpse/cuerpo/corpo” means also dead body, but the root is “body”, not “dead”.
But you touch on a good point; English is far more a Latin/Romanic language (I have read somewhere 35% which sounds totally believable) than “just Germanic”, far more than Dutch and German. Which is interesting if you look at the geography and (supposed) history. Dutch has less Latin(rooted) words and German far less, despite their closer and easier connection through trade and geography with Latin and Latin-derived languages. Was it the Norman invasion of Britain, the occupation of French lands by the Brits in the late Middle Ages (Breton-Britain) or other factors? According to the history books Latin was used in first church and then science all over Europe, not restricted to the British Isles.
There are people out there who claim “history is a hoax. Period.” which is the easy escape. Yes, there is a lot of staging, twisting and turning in his-stories and it is fun to try to unwind those spaghettis, but that is an active process, not a sit-back-and-make-silly-claims-without-thinking-through one.
I have learned (parts of) 10 languages, of which 7 at school and 3 by my own account. Of those I consider just 3 fluent; Dutch, English and Spanish. My active German is not that great and I forgot a lot of French and Italian I learned in school, but the structures and some vocabulary still stick, which helps in learning new languages (Spanish, a bit of Portuguese) or compare it to unrelated ones (my attempt to learn Russian hopelessly failed because of that unfamiliarity, though I find it one of the most beautiful languages around). This is not to boast or anything, it is a combination of decent Dutch education, personal interest and a lot of traveling I enjoyed in my life.
A couple of oddities in language is that according to history the Netherlands was occupied for 80 years by the Spanish (1548-1648, the “80 year war”). But, there are hardly any Spanish words in the Dutch language, surprisingly few. And much less than words from Malay (Indonesia was a colony) or even Brazilian Portuguese (ananas = pineapple). I suspect there certainly were some skirmishes, but a full-on occupation for 80 years would have left a lot bigger influence in language than was the case. But on the other hand; if “history is a hoax”, then how come there are many words from elsewhere in the language if it was not through colonialism, trade and immigration (Yiddish and Amsterdam dialect share a lot of similar words and quite some of those words are common in standard Dutch). A lot of French words appear in Dutch, possibly related to the Napoleontic times, more than in standard German.
Ask Maarten how hard Dutch is to learn and speak (and pronounce) well, much harder than German (which has more and more logical rules) and far far more difficult than Spanish (“poor man’s Latin” and looking at the vocabulary and homonyms very true).

I find a confectionary alongside a canal and eat an entire cake that was delicious, but whose Dutch name I no longer remember.
I tour museums. Art to melt the heart. Then on to Scheveningen to the beach. Nudity like an American never saw in public before. A buxom Dutch girl flirtatiously splashes water on me, but from my reaction realizes that I am a Yankee and immediately loses interest. Gebakken paling from a kiosk …
Oh Lord! To be 21 again!!!
Why do you do this to me?!?

Someone once said the English language is like a tree, it’s roots and branches are Germanic, but the leaves are French. Have you read Chaucer, Gaia?
The Dutch national anthem has these lines – ”To the king of Spain I’ve granted / A lifelong loyalty.” (The matter came up on the BBC QI quiz show.)
The Franks changed their language for religious reasons, from a Germanic tongue to a Latin based one. What better way to falsify history than to change languages, meanings, words, ecc? The poor were illiterate, the church was hand in glove with the lairds, and the winners wrote history not the losers.

A small anecdote … we travelled last year from Italy to Austria by train, and were surprised at how northern Italy was more German than Italian, names, language … I think the territory was handed over to Italy after the First World War, but in the ensuing century very little had changed except the flags over city halls. I would bet that the same could be said of Alsace Lorraine .. more German than French.

Sounds like a decent description of English. I don’t know about the Franks, it may explain something. No, I haven’t read Chaucer, maybe 2 pages or so in English class, but I admit not to be so well versed in “the classics” of English literature. Shakespeare also never appealed to me, to be honest.

I tried Chaucer too, a friend (who loves all that stuff) read some out aloud authentically (ie., wife pronounced wiffe, knight as k-niCHt, ecc.), and he reckoned it sounded more like Dutch or German than English.

Personal integrity means a lot, and I find it in our stable of writers here, which is why I asked them aboard. When and if they write something, there are no ulterior motives. The forbidden topics carry with them people with agendas. I don’t single out anyone but a few, as any if them can be sincere in their beliefs, dupes maybe. But there are also those hired to advance these schemes. Dallas Goldbug (Ed Chiarini) is the perfect example, hired to put out nonsense and discredit honest work done by others in the field of facial comparisons. He is in my view dishonest, deceitful, and operating a scam.

The whole idea of “Global Warming” or “Global Climate Change” is false to begin with. Climate is a regional and local (microclimate) phenomenon, so both proponents of “global cooling” (1970s speech) and “global warming” (rebranded as Climate Change) are mistaken.
The thing is that people observe warming, but that makes sense from a scientific point of view (as opposed to a politicized scientism POV). An example, my father-in-law said that when he was young in the 1940s and 50s the climate of Bogotá, Colombia was much cooler than today. And that makes sense. Back then there were about 500,000 people living there, now there are around 10,000,000.
Two effects happened;
A – more cloud cover. More industrialization and gases from cars create more dust in the air around which water particles form clouds. Especially at night there is much less release of heat as it is trapped underneath the clouds. This effect is visible in all cities in the world and most people live in cities.
B – urbanization and deforestation. Material properties of asphalt, bricks, stone in general, buildings, roads, pavements etc. etc. are very different from grass or trees; they have a higher capacity to hold heat for much longer and release it much slower. This effect is visible on any warm summer day in the evening, when you stroll from an urban area to outside or a park; suddenly it feels chilly.
Because many people have experienced this effect in their vicinity, it is easy to convince them that “the whole Earth is warming and that is YOUR fault, extortable cattle!”.
The AGW scam is by far the biggest psyop of all, psychologically and financially.

I read a book recently written in the 70-s and they feared global cooling there. It’s all merely a suggestion and not scientific. It’s part of the fear industry and easy to use. All it takes is to produce some news confirmed by some “scientists”. People will believe it even if it contradicts their own experiences. I remember strong winters from my childhood with lots of snow and -20°C and less for weeks, but also some warm winters. Our life span is relatively short to register global changes. Ice age took supposedly thousands of years to reach its peak. People didn’t register it as such. What I register now are relatively weak winters where the temperature stays around 0°C (+- a few degrees) from middle of November till middle of March. I remember warm days in the middle of winter with 18°C from the past which is not happening anymore. Also summers became weak where hot days with over 35°C are rare. In my area of course. Somewhere else it can be completely different. It feels more smooth to me. But it doesn’t mean anything. Increase in industry, cars, crowded cities, etc. has IMO no influence because strong winters occasionally still happen in cities like New York or Chicago. Scientifically they should focus on the lowest temperatures to prove the global warming. Heat can cumulate, a car in the sun can easily get 80°C hot inside which is much hotter than the air around it can get. Cold on the other side cannot. A car will never get colder than the coldest air around it. If there was global warming it should also manifest itself in the lowest temperatures and was much easier to identify that way.
