For those who haven’t been around for the fun, we noticed years ago that certain celebrities looked a lot alike, so much so that when I compared the facial plates, it was an exact match, that is, it was obviously two different people, but two whose facial features aligned nearly perfectly. For this reason, I called them “Bokanovski Brats” after the cloning system that was used in Aldous Huxley’s 1932 novel Brave New World. During that time we found many other people who looked alike (and yet were easily distinguished). It’s all named after Matt Damon, as he was the first we took note of.
That’s Beckham on the left, a younger Matt Damon on the right – in the big picture, age does not matter in this stuff, as the facial features remain in the same alignment even as the people get older. Also mentioned in this commercial are Tom Brady and Ben Affleck, members. Not mentioned, but part of our grouping, are Jimmy Kimmel, Hugh Grant, George Clooney, Russell Crowe, Jeff Dahmer (yeah, the serial killer/cannibal), Heath Ledger, Paul Newman, Jennifer Garner, Rob Lowe and Chris Pratt. As I recall, Dahmer looked more like Nicholson than Damon, as did John Hinckley, Jr. – however, I seem to have misplaced my Nicholson file. That would be a pain to replicate but I think I have it on another computer.
Which reminds me, Tyrone also mentioned offhandedly that California Governor Gavin Newsom appeared to belong to one of the Brat groups. He mentioned Christian Bale as a lookalike, and he was right. [He also mentioned Matthew McConaughey, who did not fit. Seems that MM is a standalone.]
That’s Newsom on the left, and Bale on the right. I do not work as hard at this stuff as I once did, but as I recall, I could not place Newsom in any of the alignment groups, Matt Damon, Jack Nicholson, Charlie Sheen or Ben Stiller. But he and Bale are virtual lookalikes.

At Fakeologist earlier today Ab ran an article about Miriam Ann Sloboda Finch, who is currently being promoted by James Delingpole, a man I do not trust at all. Linking to the webpage about her, she is writing on many things covered here and other sites over many years. She appears to be a blackwashing* operation. Here’s an article at the Blue Sky Maiden site about Finch, which I will not link to, as it is collecting email addresses.
The creation of false terror using imaginary victims has been demonstrated previously in the 9/11 psyop, and with the alleged victims in the Oklahoma bombing hoax. The Columbine hoax, and the Boston Marathon bombing hoax.
There’s a pattern from Finch where she supposedly believes in numerous hoaxes, giving her audience a myopic and misleading viewpoint, obscuring the methods of mind control used in the media as the brainwashing tool of “the state”.
I was curious about the Columbine link above, wondering who but me had written about it. I’d be curious to see anyone else’s work. The link in the Blue Sky Maiden blog post takes the reader to … me. See below where she led me.
That’s my 17,000 word piece, as I recall, but who’s counting words? I suppose I should be flattered, but I don’t want to share a space with a blackwasher. That is, however, the nature of the work we do, getting no attention at all unless it is bad attention. This mention, however, does tell me that they are aware of me and my work.

Why don’t we all give Miriam Ann Sloboda Finch, and James Delingpole an invitation to comment here on the POM forum? Seems like they have an audience that doesn’t exist. Especially if they have to post a link to your article without asking, i’ve never heard of them. Interesting your reveal of the “Bokanovski Brats” was stolen by an advertising firm for Stella. Where else did they get idea? All those actors, and people mentioned in POM articles have the internet and i’m sure they have researched themselves. Haven’t we all typed our names into google and see what pops up?
I’d say yes they are watching and reading. POM has it’s share of famous lurkers and government agents, really fighting an urge to make a comment, maybe even to just provide a few clues. Yet they don’t comment, regardless of how much the truth insults their mainstream narratives and of their made up existance and lives. Do they even know who they are, question where they came from. They would have to realize how much better they have it than the many more harder working and talented unknowns.

Sounds about right. I may have said before but will repeat that I independently noticed Damon and Brady were almost dead ringers back in 2001 when Brady took over at QB in New England, and Damon was riding high from Good Will Hunting. So much so that I thought at some point they would make a movie about Brady starring Damon.
However that ship has sailed, so they will have to get the next Brat to fill the role.

Speaking of that, I watched Invictus on a long plane trip a few years ago. Entertaining fiction that spreads a lot of BS legend about Mandela, and by inference says that rugby is fixed – as the Springboks ended up winning that year, sorry for the spoiler alert.

Too bad the truth the Mandela and South Africa does not match the fictional account of Mandela, the hero of the underground and oppressed, rising up and saving his people.

I’ve also communicated privately with her and there is nothing about her that strikes me as suspicious. Her scope doesn’t include the fakery of death and injury on 9/11 which I think is an important one but – as you know – I feel every single person I follow who I might otherwise admire is remiss in not recognising the big fat psyop that is the moon landings hoax, the latest controlled opposition propagandist being “Naira” of the YouTube channel, Signal before Silence, who claims to debate ChatGPT “forcing” it to come around to her arguments when she actually fakes it. That’s a good one, isn’t it, faking ChatGPT. She’s faked it to say – essentially – “Israel did it!” re the Charlie Kirk hoax and she faked it to say that there is 0.4% probability that the moon landings happened.

Funny Ray… today’s parents (U.S. Anyway), what are they thinking with these foundationless names?
I while ago I asked my niece about the name of her first born (male): “Ash”.
“Is that a historical reference?”
“No.”
“Short form of ‘Ashton’, ‘Ashley’, or some such? No ‘e’ at the end though.”
“No.”
“‘Ash’ of the Phoenix once burning, soon to be re-born?”
“No, we just liked the name.”
Roger that.
I will be visiting Norway soon. #1 Son says that we have ancestral connections there – a hobby of his.
The whole deal reminded me that my middle name is in fact ‘Soren’. Teased a bit way back in my Chicagoland suburban school.
“You know, when traveling there, I won’t be going as ‘Dave’, oh no, I will be living as D. SOREN Klausler, of course.”
“Sure Pop, always entertaining.”
Further on the subject, Wifey communicates with my mother via written letters. I added a query a while back to the effect of ‘My middle name, from whence did it originate?’ I was hoping for stories of grandeur, Vikings, truth and beauty – rugged living far north.
MamaCity eventually replied ‘Oh, nooo, we just liked the name.’ WTF? Heartbreaking, more unfounded garbage from my immediate forbears.
My own children have no middle names – typically an honorary reference, no? We, Wifey and I, saw no one worthy. We were breaking-the-cycle, so to speak, as we were both simply off-spring of questionable parents (mine more so).

I like “Soren”, a good name, unique, at least in US. My parents had four boys, mom from a family of all girls, so no names from that side. My brothers were Tom, Steve and Joe, after himself and two uncles, and I came along and names were all taken, so I was Mark Paul, a name I like. I asked why that name, and they said I was named after Mark Stephens, who owned a little grocery store down the block, who they liked. Very nice man, they said.
In 1996, when I stupidly ran for office, working doors I came across a woman who said she knew the neighborhood I grew up in, in fact, her father owned a little grocery store there, Mark Stephens. Are you kidding, I said? I was named after him! I was named after your Dad!
She was unimpressed, and eventually I understood that as a candidate for office, she thought I made that up to get her vote, probably used that line all the time. I should have said “Listen, forget about the election. I’m going to get my ass kicked. But listen, I was named after your Dad!”

I’m with you on the violence at the end of Once Upon a Time, although the movie overall I think is great. Didn’t really get it the first viewing, not what I was expecting. But rewatching it’s very layered, and there are many puzzles to puzzle over which I like in a movie. I can sort of roll with a lot of the violence in his films as “cool” stylized movie violence, and it’s not a huge problem for me, usually. The problem is more when it presents itself as “righteous, just” violence, and picks sides and wants the audience to indulge their violent fantasy against some designated “bad guys” stereotype in his universe. The first one that really made me uncomfortable was watching Inglorious Bastards in a theater, and Brad Pitt and his squad have captured some Nazis, and start torturing them.. the audience was totally on board.. dehumanize them, just like they did to the Jews? Okay..
I like his whole ouvre despite some reservations about that sort of thing, they still provide a lot to mull over. If you haven’t seen Death Proof or Jackie Brown, those are both pretty interesting. Much disturbing violence, but again I enjoy all the other layers going on.. I’ll freeze frame it sometimes to note subtle background elements, posters, background elements that only appear briefly.. what’s fascinating is, you can read it one way on first viewing, then rewatch and ponder, and imagine he might have a whole other back story in mind, beyond the surface read.. or you could be completely out over your skis, lol

That was a great bit, perfect note to cut to the next scene on. The whole movie really blew my mind when I first saw it as a teenager. Just hadn’t dreamed a movie could be that loose and fun, entertaining and brilliant. I never rewatched it until recently, and was surprised that it had lost a little luster. I maybe prefer some of his later work now, though I retain much affection for it. Apparently he cribbed a lot of the Bruce Willis storyline from some French movie or other. I’m not knocking him for it, that is the nature of art, there’s a lot of influence and mimicry in everything.

Pulp Fiction is probably the last film I saw in a movie theater that made a real impression on me. And as a 20 something at the time, I thought it was great.
What Tarantino films, of late, do you like? I soured on him for the most part, especially his fetishization of violence and gore, which gets old fast. Which he seems to have to include in every film I have seen of his. The final scene of Once Upon a time in Hollywood was especially gratuitous, and disturbing, as he seems to enjoy filming young women being murdered in a violent fashion. And just cartoonish violence in general, he is no Sam Peckinpah.
Moreover I do not enjoy the trend of Hollywood now making so many “non-fiction, or based upon a true story” films of late. I had a mini-revelation today that there is a big trend towards stuffing “true stories” into films, since no one, or almost no one, watches or believes the news anymore. So they switched to putting psyops (i.e. bullshit news) straight to film/streaming these days, which everyone I seem to know unfortunately quotes as real because “it’s based on a TRUE STORY!”

I like Soren too. The most famous one I think, aside from maybe a fleeting film star or two, is the philosopher Soren Kierkegaard.. not the worst of 20th C philosophers for a namesake. I never could figure out why his “big idea” that you might as well take a “leap of faith” or “wager” and believe in god was considered a brilliant insight — doesn’t every child consider taking this side as a wager, if they fear the potential consequences of lack of faith?? Maybe it was considered “edgy” in those avant garde existentialist circles, to _not_ be an atheist. And then if you write endless reams of verbiage about the fine points and acting like it’s some crucial angle on the matter, hey presto you’re in the pantheon. Also also, doing all this with a straight face and acting like it’s so weighty, and French newspapers wrestling with your pseudo profundity straight faced – it kind of cheapens actual faith, and the straightforward traditional belief of regular people.
But despite all that, my skepticism – which may be unwarranted, maybe I’m just missing it – he’s still got more appeal to me than a lot of those guys. I used to just take him as totally sincere, and maybe he was – in which case his life was strangely consumed by this deep wrestling over the question of faith, and an ultimate decision to make it a wager. So he was basically a romantic character, a gambler, gambling on the most crucial wager it’s possible to imagine..

You’re not confused, Petra, I am. By the way, am I sensing some distancing from the name “Sloboda”? It’s Slavic, I think, as in Slobodan Milosevic, that last name needing some little lines above the letters … I can’t provide those on this stupid iPad. It won’t even let me copy and paste. Anyway, Slobodan needs a little more research on his life and death, as does anyone charged with “War crimes” by war criminals. Did he die in prison, really? I doubt it.
I’ve been travelling by car, out and back to Grand Junction to watch our grandson play hockey. It’s tiring. On the way back there was an accident at the Eisenhower Tunnel on I70, three people fried alive, the westbound lane closed for the whole day and us passing 18 miles of standstill traffic wanting to go the other way. I don’t want to make that trip again, as between snow storms and people trying to make the ski resorts and landslides and ordinary vehicular crashes it is often backed up for miles. We dodged a bullet this time.
Anyway, on return, tired, I just happened on the Fakeologist piece and didn’t absorb it well, hence your confusion about my confusion, Petra.

No, I am sure I have not and never will “make it.” For all the mountains of writing I have done, I am always surprised when anyone outside our tiny sphere takes notice. Columbine, for instance, was meant to be serialized and written in seven digestible pieces. But as I went along I kept realizing that I was missing important elements, and so had to go back and rewrite it all to gloss over the mistakes, for instance, imagining that Dylan Klebold and Eric Harris actually existed.
Recently we had a school shooting nearby, and I came to grips with the underlying coldheartedness and calculation going on behind these hoaxes, to scare the shit out of children so that they can grow up to be frightened adults, easily managed. What would like be like if people were not afraid? How would our world differ? We’d have more and better art, writing and movies, for one thing. Better architecture. Have you ever noticed how schools are designed as blocks, like prisons, designed to monitor all the entrances/exits? Without deliveries to the cafeteria, there’d be no escape!
I took a photo of my wife standing in front of a wall at her grade school back on Long Island, and just for fun, as the photo allowed it, used photo manipulation to blend her into the wall, invisible, you know, another brick in the wall. She did not take kindly to it, and I certainly meant no disrespect to her, but isn’t that the point of schooling, to make us all alike? Aren’t we taught to avoid kids who are “different?”, like Klebold and Harris, to the point where they had to make them into grotesque caricatures of humans, mindless murderers, just to keep the other kids afraid and in line, staying in class and never wandering the hallways between bells.
I got hold of a pad of hall passes in high school and did wander the halls, oblivious to being anything more than a recalcitrant bad student. I could have learned more in high school, and plenty was offered that I did not absorb, like Shakespeare, music, poetry. I could have thrived in shop or home econ, not offered (the former not available, latter for girls only). Logical skills … not offered. So, taken as a whole, I missed out on a lot, but by doing so opened up in later years to much better stuff. Most often, however, I feel alone in my pursuits, so stumbling on the link to Columbine surprised me. Perhaps I am noticed, or at least, not completely irrelevant.
