Mathew Silverstone, a closer look
I thought I would give a try to explaining some photo manipulation as done above, with Mathew Silverstone, said to be a victim in the 9/10/2025 shootings at Evergreen High School, Evergreen, Colorado. It takes a minute or so to acclimate yourself, but it is a matter of perspective. Right off I can see that the head is too big for the body. Its width, cheekbone to cheekbone, is 45% of his shoulder width. I have a large head, size 7-3/4 hat size, but my width is only 35% of my shoulders. Same with my wife, on a smaller scale, of course, 35%. Try the measurement on yourself and see if you get something similar. This is one big noggin we are looking at.
A little McLuhan for us as we view events through the eyes of the TV
The mode of the TV image has nothing in common with film or photo, except that it offers also a nonverbal gestalt or posture of forms. With TV, the viewer is the screen. He is bombarded with light impulses that James Joyce called the “Charge of the Light Brigade” that imbues his “soulskin with subconscious inklings.” The TV image is visually low in data. The TV images is not a still shot. It is not a photo in any sense, but a ceaselessly forming contour of things limned by the scanning-finger. The resulting plastic contour appears by light through, not light on, and the image so formed as the quality of sculpture and icon, rather than a picture. The TV image offers some three million dots per second to the receiver. From these he accepts only a few dozen each instant, from which to make an image. (Marshall McLuhan, Understanding Media, edited version by W. Terrence Gordon, 2003, p418)
McLuhan, who died in 1980, wrote the above in an era where TV, colorized, was still a small screen with blurred images. Today we have 40-inch (minimum) high-definition screens, but I don’t imagine the power of TV has gotten anything but bigger as a result. It is still a two-dimensional medium, and we literally enter the screen and participate in the programming. McLuhan differentiated this from movies, which were and are highly defined, TV “cool”, movies “hot”. It could be that with the advent of better TV images, the medium is “hotter” now than then, but from what I see, maybe not.

The Evergreen, Colorado school shootings, 9/10/25, once more
I had to take down the original post I did on this event. I had foolishly linked it to NextDoor, which masquerades as a local source for pictures of bears in our yards and warnings of traffic jams. I had mentioned there that I could not locate either the shooter or one of the alleged victims in any public people source, like TruePeopleSearch or Geni. I then wrote the post and linked it there, inviting anyone curious to join us in our discussion, warning them to be civil.
I awoke to the scene pictured on the left, which is a spray can used for BBQ that I keep on a rolling rack on the deck. It had been taken from there, and the cap removed, the can upright, and a pine cone and birdseed nut in between. Since it was done in a manner that had everything in line and upright, it was not a bear or raccoon or fox, our normal visitors. It was a human who did this for us. It was none too subtle, and indeed carried a message, that by suggesting the shooting event was faked, that I was a nut, that I am not rational.

Baseball notes
We had something I found interesting going in a post I had to take down due to emergence of hatefulness, an ugly aspect of the ongoing mass shooting sprees, all fake. I’ll come back to it.
Tyrone mentioned that one team, the Cleveland Indians/Guardians, hold the futility record, not having won a World Series since 1948, 77 years. I looked a bit further and found that there are a few teams who had not made WS appearances (win or lose) for long stretches of time, like Pittsburgh, Seattle, Oakland, Minnesota, Colorado and Cincinnati, and they shared one thing in common: small TV markets.
Childhood memories
This is a reminiscence, one that from childhood on affected my outlook on life. I am not unique in this regard, nor prescient, but merely aware of that fact that two memories of childhood are still with me in my advanced age. Others have similar experiences. Please feel free to recount them here.
Cowan and Kaufman, C+K = 33?
Mike Wallach, proprietor of The Viral Delusion, runs a nice website and I am happy to send along a few bucks each month. However, back in July he ran a video, The Viral Delusion Episode Three: Monkey Business: Polio, Measles And How It All Began, and right away, just a couple of minutes into it, I was looking up at the nose hairs of Tom Cowan and Andrew Kaufman. The latter for sure I do not trust, as someone pointed out to me long ago that Edward Snowden, then said to be quarantined in an airport in Moscow, and Mr. Kaufman bore a striking resemblance to one another.
No way, I thought, but decided to expend the effort to do the comparisons anyway. For newbies, my underlying criteria is based on the premise that our heads form their final for-life shape in our late teens and early 20s, and that as a result, the distance between our eye pupils can be used as a constant throughout our lives. That in mind, if I align eye pupils at a common distance, I can compare two faces to find differences and similarities.
The Columbine Massacre: A tragedy without tears
[ Originally written in 2017, updated in 2025.] This is an edited version of the eight-part series that I put up some time back, everything consolidated into one post. I realized things at the end that I did not comprehend at the beginning, so have have done major changes to incorporate that knowledge into the piece to make it more comprehensive and thorough. I have left the original pieces intact, as below them are many valuable comments.
Prologue
I’ve looked into many events that grace our TVs and newspapers, all treated as real, all staged. Often times I feel I have arrived at enough truth to stop, relax, and just live a Cassandra life. It is too bad that people are not ready to receive the information. This type of work is of higher order, and only a few appreciate it. I am pleased that we have so many readers aboard who see through the thickets of lies and propaganda and see events like the “Columbine Massacre” for what they are, public hoaxes.
Who is behind it? Unnamed people, behaviorial psychologists, Intelligence operatives, Freemasons, all oathbound. Military participants, like SWAT, are bound to secrecy by threat of jail time. Add to that crisis actors, people paid to express anguish (unable to generate tears in the process, as they are amateurs). They wear moulage, and sign nondisclosure agreements. If they speak up, they lose their pay. They are sought out by certain news agents brought in under the same oaths, to go along, shut up and report the whole thing as real. In the recent past, Anderson Cooper has been brought in to validate fake events, gently interviewing “victims,” a fine actor.
Certain videos I used below have now disappeared, but I left the black screens to advise the reader that there are forces at work behind these events still in control of information, who do not want us too see through their work.
Also, dead and wounded: Anyone “killed” in this affair was probably brought in to play that part and then moved to a new location with a new identitiy. It was years in planning. Some, like the Shoals kid and Harris and Klebold themselves were ghosts, not real people. Wounded people might bear fake scars and are paid to appear at occasional memorial services to keep the event alive in our minds, but I saw no wound scars on anyone in writing this. It is all done by power of suggestion. And, it is time we realized that we don’t understand what is called the Witness Protection Program. Not really.
Why? State of Fear. To keep us afraid. It keeps us dumbed down and governable. Columbine was primarily aimed at youth, as the old priest wisely noted! “Get ’em when they’re young, we’ve got ’em for life.”

How to lie, effectively
Below is a rather long excerpt from the book Dancing Naked in the Mind Field, published in 2000 and written by the late Kary Mullis. He won a Nobel Prize for his work on what became known as the polymer chain reaction process, or “PCR”. I intended yesterday as I wrote about world population to start with this, but quickly realized I was trying to ride a horse in two directions at once. Only politicians can pull that off.
I will comment after:
World population trends, 2025
“Covid” was a disease the symptoms of which were indistinguishable from ordinary influenza, and remarkably, as Covid deaths escalated during those years, influenza deaths virtually disappeared. Far be it from me to comment on obvious connections, but it appears to me that
- SARS-CoV-2, the supposed virus that supposedly caused Covid, does not exist.
- The “pandemic,” which was announced to the world on 3/11/2020, was not real, and had to be sustained by means of illusion, misdirection, and fakery.
- One of the keys to maintaining the illusion of a pandemic was real and spreading was the idea of the “asymptomatic carrier”, that is, a person who carries the disease, spreads it, but carries no symptoms.
- The key to identifying asymptomatic carriers was the PCR test. Anthony Fauci said point blankly that we must “test, test test”, for the disease, most likely knowing in his black and evil heart that he was merely describing the means by which an illusory pandemic would spread.
So it is that I say that on this date I happen to know the exact number of pandemic deaths: Zero. Nobody died of Covid, but testing and certification were done based on the PCR, so that anyone who died within 45 days of a Covid test was considered to have died of Covid. I just asked AI about Covid deaths, as I wanted to be lied to good and hard, and learned that worldwide, as of today, 7,099,773 people died, and in the US, 1,226,890.
