No two alike

We were booked on Delta to fly to Venice out of Atlanta on Monday, but Delta could not find a gate for their plane. We ended up in B107, and left there three hours late. That meant we missed all our connections the following day, and depended on the kindness of strangers. At the train station Bolzano a shuttle driver agreed to give us a ride to the airport, even as he was off duty. We offered him twenty euro, and he only reluctantly took it, hiding it under papers on his passenger seat. Our car rental agency was closed, so we needed to get to our hotel, but no cabs were available. Two police officers, the only other people in Bolzano Airport, called all over and finally ran down a cab for us. They were very kind. Europcar the next day downgraded our reservation to a tiny Fiat since we were late getting there. I have to duck my head to lower the visor.

White guy problems? I suppose. Delta, by way of apology, gave 200 of us a free snack, airline peanuts or tiny bags of chips.

But here is the interesting thing, and I have experienced this once before. Delta announced when we finally boarded that our faces would be our boarding passes. To get in the plane we stood for maybe a second before a camera that looked at our facial plates, recognized us from passport photos, and let us pass.

My facial work is far less sophisticated, but this reinforces my notion that no two of us look alike. Take that, all you Martin Luther King/Don King doubters.

  1. Who cares about the doubters, these people (i.e. the Kings, the Jacksons, etc) are not on the up and up.

    Here’s your daily example of MLK trickery – I searched for death of MLK and this story came up. Please look at picture of woman (suspect) and police officer (and look on his face). Then please look at picture of MLK in his hospital bed with a peace sign taped on his face.

    I was thinking more about the name “Don” King. Reminds me of Don Corleone. Don of course means head, and we know who the Kings are. Also note on Don Kings pardon it had a letter of support from Jesse Jackson, whom was at MLKs side when he was “assassinated”. The Godfather came out in 1972, same year as Don King’s release. Also, for those who believe they wouldn’t be this obvious with fakery, please watch the Rumble in the Jungle, the entire fight, and watch especially carefully Foreman’s “punches” at Ali.

    1. Letter openers don’t puncture aortas. They are about as sturdy as stage knives. They break with very little pressure. The pictures of this cocktail toothpick in his shirt collar is laughable. Add that woman’s arm strength and you got bupkis, wound wise.

      Typically, this kind of event announces a new main player on the stage. It’s 1958 and this MLK character means business as he enters stage left, now the chosen one. He’s dangerous, you see- people even on his side are out to get him, so you’d better pay attention to this guy. Extras don’t get featured stunts like this.

      The photo of Curry in custody- Cop can’t keep a straight face while she is completely serious. Clearly deranged. A subtle contrast to set her apart from the mood. Crazy lady! And I’d think they’d disarm her by seizing her purse. Who knows what kind of arsenal she’s carrying. Lipstick and a day planner. Almost as lethal as box cutters.

  2. While poking around, I found another great psyop. Izola Curry, above is the first one.

    Second historical psyop of the day is Lizzie Halliday, or Eliza Margaret McNally (an alias tips this story off as fake from the gun).

    This line killed me – he’d gone off to do MASONRY work!!

    Paul Halliday disappeared that August. She claimed he had gone to a nearby town to do masonry work.

  3. One can’t but help get the idea they are trying hard to destroy air travel. It’s not hard to see. I hear people crying all the time about all these new “dangers” in the air. Please tell me how many real large plane crashes have occurred in the USA since 2001? About zero, and several hundred thousand have died on the roads since then.

    Recall the disappearing Indonesian flights and the one shot down over Russia. My guess is they don’t want people going to Indonesia, a gigantic tropical paradise. And America, yes, it is third work shit hole. There’s no culture, it’s all about greed and the future is hopeless.

    1. There was a spate of Malaysian crashes. I looked at one of them and found that, oddly, there was no wreckage. Then I learned that the reason was that the ground had swallowed up the plane, much like the plane in Pennsylvania that disappeared into a mine on 911. The stuff they get away with.

  4. I Phones have face locks. My kids (girls) can all open up each other’s phones with their own faces. And my 11 year old can open up my wife’s if she pulls a bit of a face. I’m not sure the technology is that good. The fingerprint sensors on the other hand work much better in my family.

    Still I like the Don King story (although I have some doubts). Remember some of these people are very closely related many times over for thousands of years. Their cousins may be more similar than our brothers and sisters. But why wouldn’t you re use a good actor. It’s not like Brad Pitt plays one character and is finished.

    1. I would be curious if your family travel together using passports internationally that one would interchange with the other. I do not think they would take chances of mixing up faces with passports.

      1. I would assume there is better tech out there than the I phone.

        But I’m not sure anyone in power really cares if they get passport info on us plebs wrong or right. What difference does it make to them if one of my kids travels on the others passport. As long as we all keep working, paying taxes and leaving the rich to their own business (which we will). I think it’s more like the bomb detectors, just an excuse to pull more resources from us and a little bit of a bluff

        1. Precisely. I believe a lot of the anti-terror stuff was just a pre-emptive strike to ensure the government has a near monopoly on illicit drug distribution, and moreover to stop smuggling of precious metals like platinum or gold to foreign countries. Because in theory you should get the best exchange rates with pure precious metal, perhaps taped to your body or swallowed whole? Whoops, can’t do, the X-ray body scanner picked that up, you cannot pass go. You must use the Mason Monopoly Money foreign exchange system and pay your due taxes. Make sure you’re a good loyal God fearing American!

  5. Tyrone thank you for commenting.

    I also thought of a practical reason for using an actor to play Don King, or sports agents in general. They claim a handful of agents, like Don King, come out of nowhere, from the streets literally, convicted felons, and end up making hundreds of millions on the take from prizefights. What if these people are Masonic fronts, taking in a salary/pension (government work) in order to kick back a large amount of the purse to the hidden owners? Just like star salaries are vastly inflated. MLK and other high profile actors, like JFK etc are true actors, who can act real time in real life, not just on a stage with a prepared script, and stay in character.

  6. Law enforcement and Alphabet agencies can contact our Internet Service Providers and get all of our web search history. I assume they also have key loggers to record everything we type. Our ISP address contain all these logs. Same applies on smartphones. However this only happens when one is under investigation for a crime?

    1. I presume they capture everything all the time. However, it is no crime to state our opinions here. Moreover, for arguments sake, I am not posting under my real name, so everything I write here is based on the thoughts of a character named youcancallmeray, and may or may not agree with my personal opinions.

  7. Very quiet past several days. I just re-read Greg’s comment. I do know some people who have been under investigation for things you wouldn’t normally think of as crimes. If you are under investigation they will throw every trick in the book to get you to admit to wrongdoing. Just remember never say anything to law enforcement without a lawyer, and without giving it a lot of thought. And there are actually very few things in a real federal court of law they can charge you with, unless you actually are doing serious crime. And it is very expensive, thankfully, to hold a federal trial, so very few criminals are actually charged under the federal justice system. However many more will questioned or dragged into investigations, and they never tell you what they are actually investigating, much like Kafta in the Trial.

    On a more cautionary note, I was talking to my neighbor who’s wife is from Belarus. Very kind good people. She is banned from entering the country due to things she posted on Facebook criticizing the president. Facebook is evil, and if you aren’t off it I would get off. It’s a honeypot for information and blackmail.

    1. Thanks for the reply I usually don’t make a comment that is out of context with the article topic, but sometimes it’s the only way to get some answers, or break up as you mentioned quiet time.

      Did your neighbor’s wife leave her comments on the President’s or Belarus government’s FB page? Did she fly into Belarus where they showed her the comment and told her to leave? How did they know it was actually her and not someone else using her name? I assume they would have to contact FB. Then FB would have to contact the person’s ISP to make sure that name lives at the residence on the monthly bill, matches the ISP log on records for FB. lol

      1. Greg, good questions. However I have no reason to doubt these people. I do know my work colleague, in a separate incident. lost his job by flipping out on some guy on Facebook, who was teasing him about his biracial kids; his wife was Phillipino; bottom line he was a real dumb-ass and doxxed this guy.

        I would presume the level of evidence needed to fuck with people is much lower in smaller countries like Belarus, and you don’t necessarily have the backup option of a high-priced lawyer to cover your ass like we do in the states. Facebook is just an excuse to take away peoples rights. I don’t see any crazy conspiracy I am promoting there. If you use Facebook you are just straight out stupid, like 99.99% of the population.

      2. Greg, surely you have heard of the Stasi? And know it was not fake, but quite real. Facebook is the modern Stasi, where idiot dupes tell on themselves to the authorities. Who then punish said offenders. Not that hard to conceptualize. Much cheaper and easier system, practically automates itself. And the Fuck-book bans are not unprecented, Thailand closely monitors all citizens who might post anti-monarchy posts. This is child’s play. Why do you think foreign governments, or any government adhere to any rules? You are in for a world of hurt if you are that naive.

  8. Re plane travel

    Agree they’re blackwashing it but I wouldn’t be surprised if it has degraded a lot in terms of manufacturing and operations generally, considering that all industries have seen several decades of deskilling and hollowing out.. “neoliberalism” as NakedCapitalism calls it, financialization, looting of companies, the general trend toward “Idiocracy” and societal, generational decay. Maybe the few remaining “boomers” are just holding things together with baling wire at this point..

  9. Mark, I thought of your post the other day, when flying thru Atlanta on Delta! Did you see the MLK mini museum in one of the terminals there?! There are some big pictures of him and some of his clothing (costumes?!) If I’m not too jet lagged, I think there was a pair of his glasses and said that he didn’t need them, but wore them to make him look smarter. Hmmmmm. Maybe you can find the display if you are flying back thru Atlanta?! Was fun timing after seeing your post! 🙂
