Note to readers: This post is about Sam Cooke and Louis Farrakhan, written in 2016 by Tyrone McCloskey and me – I did the photo work. At that time (2016) I was seeing twins, and identified Sam Cooke as a set. I later backed away from such things, as I was seeing too many. I settled on maybe half a dozen, which included Rihanna, Drake, McCartney, Janis Joplin, Anderson Cooper. Drake and Rihanna are because I had photos of the two together. However, this could explain why I had such trouble working with Cooke last week, that I was unknowingly dealing with two of them, one of which would line up, the other not. This is how we discovered the Joplin twins, and I am very sure about that work.
I completely spaced this out, and have forgotten doing the work back then. Tyrone remembered.
Note to Reader: This blog post has been put “under review” as we have had growing pains in developing the technology we use to identify twins, replicas and zombies. The eyes behind the technology are getting better, so as you read this piece note that if you are troubled by its conclusions that we will be looking at it in more depth and with better eyes. For the time being, it is speculation.
Tyrone wrote: A while ago, while Mark was still on vacation, I took a look at photos of Sam Cooke and wondered which pundit he might have become. Of course he would be a zombie because he fit the basic criteria: Musical star, dead at 33 (Ca-Ching!), his death being sensational tabloid fodder but made no logical sense. He was also a business man and had secured an agreement with future Beatle handler Alan Klein to mint money for his efforts. Naturally, after Cooke’s death, Klein controlled the posthumous windfall. Where that money actually went is of no concern because these assets are wage slaves, I’ll wager, and they never expected royalties. They are, indeed, very well paid wage slaves, but these are basically pensioners, not investors.
Not even playing a hunch but just off the top of my head and expecting to have to go through a list of suspects, I started with Louis Farrakhan as the possible zombie. He was the right age and an opinion maker, to say the least. Not exactly one of the house Toms at FOX, but a paid pain in the ass for the Intel circus known as the Nation of Islam. He was also an accomplished musician. Well, since I’m no master of the split personality portrait, I threw it out to Mark, Straight and friends to run these two, Cooke and Farrakhan, to see if there was a chance.
Ding Ding Ding! Mark posted quickly that it was a match. This zombie, however, was further back in queue, so only now are we presenting.
The death of Mohammad Ali is a milestone, a remarkable man, but I will never forget his fight with Sonny Liston where he won by means of a phantom punch. The fight was rigged. I don’t know if Ali was in on it. He did not necessarily have to be.
I clipped this comment from Quora and reprint it – it is from Anonymous, and it echoes my suspicions after the last two Superbowls, two years ago with Seattle giving it to New England at the end, and this year with Cam Newton fumbling and just watching Denver recover. Fix is on!!!
ALL professional sports championships are rigged. And not just rigged by referees (as the controlled opposition wants you to think) but rigged from the top to bottom with the assistance of select players and coaches on each team.
Every Super Bowl you have ever watched has been rigged. Most playoff games and regular season games too. Some superstars are manufactured (such as Cam Newton) and some are repressed if they don’t play along.
Most veteran QBs are in on the fixes, ALL head coaches, most coordinators, and certain players in certain positions (CB, OL, RB, WR, etc.). It’s important to know that not all the players or coaches are in on it, although some may suspect but are not willing to risk their career or earnings over it. Most of the players and lower level coaches are dupes IMO.
This also includes owners and GMs. Some owners are actually a front for corporations, agencies, or secret billionaires who really own the team (Terry Pegula comes to mind). To them it is just an investment. They don’t care if their team wins or loses, as long as the fans show up.
Super Bowl champions have more to do with narratives and giving favors to certain owners than with the play on the field. It’s a racket that has cost working class fans billions of dollars over the decades. It has also cost most players their brains and bodies, despite the outcomes being pre-determined. It also explains how Vegas is always so close to the real spread. Vegas never loses, because they know who’s going to win.
For those looking to do more research and go further down the rabbit hole, try to find out why nearly all of the expansion owners of the 1960’s came out of the Navy. That’s right, the NFL is a military creation. The Navy is the home of intelligence. Football is subconscious military promotion, originating from elite schools such as Harvard and Yale.
NBA fixes every game. The NHL is better IMO but fixes a few regular season games to ensure favored or big market teams advance and fixes all the playoff games that need fixing.
In case you’re wondering, Spygate , Bountygate, and Deflategate never happened. All done for marketing, awareness, and controlled opposition purposes. Done with full consent of all parties. Why would people risk their reputations? Well, you need to start asking who these people really are and if the biographies we are told are actually true.
For those open-minded willing to go down this path, prepare for depression, then enlightenment. The entire world you have been told by newspapers, TV, and media is not what you think it is. In fact, Quora is not what you think it is. And some of the posters who you trust are not who you think they are (including some who answered this question).
Note: As with everything I write here, it is only my studied opinion that follows. It is my view that we currently have the technology to get us off oil, but it is withheld from us. If indeed global warming were real, technology would not be withheld. Even oligarchs have to live on this planet with us.
__________________________
I have written a lot about what I call “public hoaxes,” which are quite common. Because television has such a hold on Americans, I am automatically disbelieved by “reasonable” people. But what I tell you is true, and what television tells you is lies.
I understand why people do not believe me. Our opinions are not our own, but rather a result of our suggestibility. People are not “reasoned in” to beliefs, and so cannot be reasoned out. Our egos steps to the fore. When I say that John Lennon’s death was faked or that Zika is a hoax, reason and logic go out the window, and defense mechanisms take over.
I am really saying that you have been fooled, and badly, and as a matter of policy. What we are experiencing around us is called, behind the curtain, “public mythology.” It is serious and studied policy, and is deliberately fostered to keep us dazed and confused and under control.
I write about public myths and hoaxes. You do not like that, and react angrily. It is a personal affront for me to say that you are not on top of things. But you are not. You are being snookered and manipulated, right and left. Sorry to be the bearer of such news.
Just to demonstrate how the process works, let’s take a controversial subject, global warming, or “climate change.” It doesn’t exist. It is completely made up. It has merely been suggested to us, and we have supplied our own evidence.
Where is the homework? Where is the rigorous science behind it? Climategate gave away that game. There was shown to be a uniform pattern of deliberate lies behind climate statistics.
But that does not matter, because we have done our own homework. Once it was suggested to us that we are involved in catastrophic climate change, by authorityfigures no less, we began to look around for verification. And we found it! We have droughts, forest fires, receding glaciers, ocean temperatures that are (might be) changing, disappearing islands … and all of that causes us to worry, keeps us in a state of tension.
We never get to relax, do we.
None of that matters, as the planet is always in a state of flux. We’ll be fine. Just as the Millerites were wrong about the year 1843 (but are still trying to get it right), so too will current climate science be shelved as the planet and its population go on and on and on without catastrophic end.
Climate change exists between our ears, passed on to us courtesy of our state/oligarchic-controlled media. It is a hoax.
Why? Good question. For that we have to look for proposed solutions.
Do they want to curtail use of oil? No.
Do they want us to stop buying cheap disposable consumer goods that take immense energy to produce, only to be tossed? No.
Do they want us to expect a lower standard of living? Yes.
Do they advance bogus and useless technology (solar panels, electric cars and windmills)? Yes.
Do they advance crazy and manipulative economic schemes like cap-and-trade? Yes.
Do they really want to solve the so-called problem with real solutions that hold real promise, like Tesla technology, tidal energy and hydrogen? No. The current system is built on oil. We should have transitioned off oil decades ago, but it is not allowed. Too much money is tied up in current technology to allow change.
So relax, everyone. We’re OK, the planet is OK. We could all stand to live a more simple existence, as resources are finite. Those are problems we need to deal with. We have the technology, but it is hidden away from us at this time. If we have a real problem, the technology will be made available by necessity.
I think what I saw on TV’s Jeopardy was more recent than the video above, and it has stuck in my craw. Please look closely at David Muir, news Anchor for ABC News. He is dressed impeccably, his eyes are piercing. He takes himself very seriously.
He is an idiot. He was hired because he delivers that serious and believable cadence, and because he is so damned good looking. No doubt if you went out for beers with the man, by evening’s end you would discover that, like the state of North Dakota, there is no “there” there. The man probably can’t place Lebanon on the map.
Television casts a hypnotic spell wherein the mode of delivery is the message. Muir could as easily tell us that Canada is infected with dinosaur lice and Americans have stopped aging now, and typical viewers would think ?”Hmmm. How about that.”
That is how news works. It is not about anything true. Most of what we call “news” is lies and distortions. It is designed to get viewers to “look here, not there.” It is merely about distraction and believability.
“Debunking sites.” are a large part of the psy-op factor – a way to keep us from leaving the herd and thinking our own thoughts about what we see and hear about us.
If such sites were genuine, they would not debunk this or that aspect of theory about the true behavior of our governmenht. They would debunk all of it. But they cannot. Mythbusters, SNOPES, Scientific American, Popular Mechanics, Penn and Teller have all been called into service of the government in debunking major conspiracy theories. But they are not really about debunking. They are about reassuring you. If they have to lie to reassure you, they will. If they have to use gimmicks and special effects, they will. They do.
The van in that scene was superimposed by video trickery, “PhotoShopped” in. You can tell by the black line, kind of a dark halo, around it. Mythbusters, who are fake, will latch on to enough real science to use as a lever to inject their fakery. In this case, they were “proving” that soft objects can destroy hard ones by mere speed. It does not happen, so they had a door blown off a van by other means and made it appear that a pumpkin did it. They had to fake it. So it goes. It was all done with a computer in a production studio. These are liars. And, I might add, liars with a large budget.
As an alternative, I propose that debunking sites and shows change their name: Instead of “debunking” they should be called “Stop Thinking, and I Mean Right Now!” sites, because that is their true effect. People become a little unnerved at this or that piece of evidence, and want reassurance that their government does not lie. So they Google, and sure enough the first thing that pops up is the debunking site. They read or skim it, are reassured, and stop wondering.
It is no accident. Google is about as genuine as SNOPES, which is to say it too tells believable lies. One of the lies is to make sure you get the information your government wants you to get on the first page. They want you to stop there and not explore further. Positioning of debunking sites on Google is not based on number of hits. It is a little more disingenuous, and more nuanced than that.
It is a form of propaganda, a way to prevent you from asking questions, thinking for yourself, wondering out loud, or exercising natural curiosity.
Debunking sites exist to assist you in turning off your brain, nothing more. They are just another form of thought control.
If you wanna find out what’s behind these cold eyes
You’ll just have to claw your way through this disguise.
Part of the propaganda thrust behind the fake moon landing psy-op were these words:
We choose to go to the Moon! … We choose to go to the Moon in this decade and do the other things, not because they are easy, but because they are hard; because that goal will serve to organize and measure the best of our energies and skills, because that challenge is one that we are willing to accept, one we are unwilling to postpone, and one we intend to win …
This past year has for me been one of forward movement after years of beating the bushes looking for rabbits in a land where the rabbits actually live in caves. I never imagined I would know who killed JFK. I thought with his moon speech that he had been misled by people around him.
That speech was deliberate scripted incentive to make that fake program go forward. After Dallas, we were honoring a fallen hero. It was intended as such. I suspect that one of the men watching the fake television transmissions of the fake landing was JFK. He was in Hyanisport, perhaps on Chappaquiddick, on a yacht in the Mediterranean, or perhaps on an island near Greece.
The only reason that I cannot know for sure if he lived to see the fakery to its conclusion is that he might have died of natural causes, Addison’s Disease among his ailments. John F. Kennedy, I now realize, was a phony of historic proportions, a lying psychopath with an unusual gift for fake charm, even portraying a real human being.
But set him aside. Understanding him is for me the key to the postwar era. Everything, all of the major events of my life, were fake, or were hidden behind a shroud. There were no moon landings, the assassinations were fake, Martin Luther King was a fraud, as were Reagan, Clinton, and now of course Donald Trump and Bernie Sanders. It is ongoing, so proper movement is forward, not backward.
I’ve been beating around this bush for a while now. The fake death of John Lennon and discovery of the McCartney twins left me in a state of flux, ready to take a quantum leap, but frightened as well. I know ridicule awaits. Even though it is a peanut gallery, I still hear the insults. My saving grace is that I can give as well as take. I have savaged people in debate, so if you want a piece of me, bring a first aid kit. You will be wounded.
Dealing with ridicule is merely a test of character. Since I believe in me, and have read and wandered and questioned far more than anyone I know, I am in a place few will ever access. I can sympathize with my critics, and at the same time sigh a relieving sigh, a “fuck you” in response. You cannot know what you do not know unless you ask the right questions, and so far, most of you have not done so. Until you do, you will not break through the veil.
It is easy now to look about, understand the nature of the fake political contest before us, see that David Bowie and Prince recently faked their deaths, that votes are not even counted for real, that our music and movies and news are all scripted to keep us thinking (or failing to think) alike. I have stopped now and then to marvel at how mundane life on this planet is without the fake events! We are all mostly just living our lives quietly, trying to stay afloat. The mass shootings, serial killers, assassinations, accidental deaths of prominent people … fake, fake, fake, fake.
War and poverty … real. Avoidable, but real.
I am in this place, but did not intend to travel here. The freedom is exhilarating. The lack of insight of almost all around me is exasperating. But life is fun.
One of the more interesting criticisms that I have gotten over the years is that I don’t offer “solutions” to our problems. It is an accurate one.
I see people, close and distant, who are beyond reach. For example, they imagine themselves insightful as they invest in Trump or Sanders or Clinton, thinking that an important activity, even good citizenship. They imagine they are active participants in a vibrant democracy. They do not begin to understand the levels of deception built into our lives. But dammit, they vote.
The key to managing the American population is to marginalize the dumb ones via sports and entertainment, stage elections for the slightly less dumb ones, and offer false leaders for the smarter ones. Those who can overcome state-controlled media and brain-deadening education will find that once outside the matrix, others are there to mislead them.
The very brightest among us were drawn for years to Noam Chomsky. He happens to work for an institution, MIT, that only exists on Pentagon largess. He is a fixture, and has been supported by the military for decades. He has for years offered up volumes of seemingly useful information, but ultimately leaves us high and dry. (I just quoted him extensively in a post about Zika two days ago. I cringed, but it was a vital link.) Among his more enlightening revelations are that the Federal Reserve is as useful as our own government in managing our economy, that 9/11 happened just like we are told, and that JFK was a war hawk intent on invading Southeast Asia. (As it turns out, he is right about that last one, but his object is not to demean JFK, but rather steer his followers away from a path of inquiry that can ultimately lead to intellectual emancipation.)
Even the brightest among us are under state management. Chomsky is there in O’Brien fashion* to take us nowhere.
So the a healthy percentage of us (40%?) are inundated with entertainment and sports, and so dumbed down by the education system that they cannot think their way out of a can of tomato soup. They don’t matter. A level above that (50%?) are those who pay attention to managed news (FOX and NPR being two different packages with the same content), and are vaguely aware of some of the wedge issues and vote in the elections. They don’t matter. A level above (7%?) that read books and newspapers, even watch congressional hearings and attend lectures, maybe even watch CSPAN**. They don’t matter.
And one level above that (3%) are those bright enough to figure out part or all of the game. They usually don’t vote. They are effectively marginalized by a thought control meme called “conspiracy theorist.” The other 97% are sure that the 3% who are actually somewhat on top of things are mentally ill. So they don’t matter either.
It is fucking brilliant.
So, why do I not propose a solution? There do not appear to be any solutions. I am living my life, doing the things I love doing, and having a nice laugh now and then. And traveling.

*O’Brien is the chacter in 1984, a sinister false leader who greeted Winston Smith as he made his escape.
Zika is a hoax, as I’ve written before. But I suppose it would help the reader to know what hoaxes are easy to spot. General rule: anything that is trumped up in our American mass media is, on some level, a hoax. The media does not depict reality – it invents it. It is and has always been state controlled. Or better stated, oligarchy-controlled, since the state is controlled by the oligarchy.
So the question is why the hoax? One reason is that we are always to be worried about one thing or another, afraid, injecting ourselves with vaccines that do nothing unless they harm us … so that is part of it. After Zika, there will be another scare. PhRMA is part of the medical cartel, and money is its aim, not health.
But there is also the Olympics to be held in Brazil this summer. Hundreds of thousands of people will be traveling there. The hoax being centered on that country has the added advantage of spreading fear all over the world.
Two questions you might ask: What about medical experts who make public pronouncements about Zika – are they lying? Yes. Why? If they don’t, they are no longer “medical experts,” lose their position and income, and fade away.
The other, what about microcephaly, or shrunken brains? How does that come about? Back in 1993, when they called it “pygmyism,” they said the cause was malnutrition. Here’s Noam Chomsky, from that year:
“Brazil is far and away the most important country in Latin America, firmly under US control since 1945, when it became a ‘testing area for modern scientific methods of industrial development’ applied by US experts…It is a country with enormous resources that should be the ‘Colossus of the South,’ ranking alongside the ‘Colossus of the North,’ as predicted early in the century. It has had no foreign enemies, and benefited not only from careful US tutelage but also from substantial investment. It therefore shows with great clarity just what the US can achieve in ‘enlarging the free community of market democracies’ under conditions that are near ideal.”
“The successes are real enough. Brazil has enjoyed a very high growth rate, which conferred enormous wealth on everyone except its population – apart from the top few percent, who live at the standards of the wealthiest Westerners. It is a sharply two-tiered society. Much of the population live at a level reminiscent of Central Africa…the UN Report on Human Development ranked this rich and privileged country in 80th place, alongside of Albania and Paraguay. In the northeast, Brazilian medical researchers describe a new subspecies: ‘pygmies,’ with 40% [actually 60%] the brain capacity of humans, thanks to severe malnutrition in a region with fertile lands, owned by large plantations that produce export crops in accord with the doctrines preached by their expert advisers. Hundreds of thousands of children die of starvation every year in this success story, which also wins world prizes for child slavery and murder of street children – in some cases for export of organs for transplant, according to respected Brazilian sources.”
So they took a condition already known to exist, but among the lower classes and so not important, and elevated it to epidemic status. They did this in order to spread fear. It makes us easier to govern.
Again, Zika will fade like baseball players into a corn field after the panic has served its purpose. But never worry, another contagion arrive will shortly after.The trains do run on time in our country.
I am not going to waste a lot of time on this. Oh hell, I already have wasted a lot of time on it. I wanted to know if the music truly died on The Day the Music Died. It’s a tough call, but my answer, if had to give an answer, would be no. Nobody died, or maybe four strangers died, or four corpses were brought in to serve as cadavers, or the whole thing, beginning to end was faked.
Start with the plane crash itself: Nobody saw it. That does not mean it did not happen as we are told, but we are missing a critical element, eyewitnesses.
Crash site, Buddy Holly and company
This is the crash site. Three bodies are visible. Closest to us is said to be Richie Valens, and then Holly to the left, and in the field beyond, the Big Bopper. The pilot, at the time of the photo, I assume is still in the wreckage. He too died, we are told.
The plane is said to have cartwheeled 540 feet before coming to rest against the fence. We don’t have photo evidence of that – only verbal reports. Photographs are confined to the place where it finally stopped. Even so, if that is true, the plane would have been moving slowly by the time it got to this point, so that centrifugal force was no longer tearing at the victims, and they were gently deposited here. After all, the fence is not damaged. The plane merely came to rest there.
Given that, it is hard to imagine how the plane, at this time lacking force of movement, was able to deposit the Big Bopper forty feet away and across the fence – forward motion.
Richie Valens corpse at crash site
This is a better shot of the crash. That is said to be the body of Richie Valens. In those days they did not “Photoshop,” per se, but rather cut and pasted in photographic studios. If Valens’ corpse was added to this shot in a studio, they did a very good job. The grass around his right shoulder and left forearm looks real. The shininess of the hair and jacket is odd, meaning it was probably taken with a flash photo, I suppose, but I see no other evidence of flash reflection in the photo. I would think that a flash would illuminate the area under the wing of the plane in the foreground just beyond the body, but it only casts a shadow caused by sunlight, and this on an overcast day. As can be seen in the first photo above, the body is very close to the wreckage, so a flash should illuminate that area. This indicates that a flash was used to take a photo of the body but was not done at the crash site. This indicates pasting.
(There are as many as ten men in various photos, always just standing, observing. If “Valens” is pasted in, why not them too?)
Then there is this:
The head was badly crushed and deformed, the calverium region wide open and the brain tissue almost completely eviscerated.
That is from the death certificate. The “calverium” region is the top of the skull, and “eviscerated” means “disemboweled.” This person’s head is intact, and, to boot, there is no blood. The calverium is present and uneviscerated.
Buddy Holly’s death was said to be equally gruesome, with his head split open, half his brain tissue missing, and his chest soft due to the internal organs being crushed. The face was badly cut up. We have no photos to support this. It could be just good taste.
Again, going back to the top photograph, there is no evidence of any of this, so we have to guess that the photographer simply withheld the most gruesome shots. Or, that these bodies were actors, or that they were pasted in in a photo studio. All is possible, including real death of the real people. I don’t rule that out.
Here’s an analysis by a blogger named Hoi.palloi, who seems to have a keen eye for this stuff.*
Then you have the convenient halo of “snow” hovering around the tops of the bodies, making convenient cut-outlines framing their rotated bodies-and-chunks-of-ground-and-grass which seem undinted [sic] by their apparently collapsing into it. The snow on the bodies doesn’t look consistent between pictures, and neither do their heads, but the plants are always happily tucking them in for the Big Sleep.
Finally, for me anyway, there is this shot:
I do not know who the grieving man is, but that appears to be the face of a young child on the middle body. The third body from the left appears to be mere clothing arranged to look like a body. This is a fake photo [or a real photo of a staged scene], and it could be a well-known fake, for all I know. But it does come up under the heading “The Day the Music Died,” so someone is presenting it as real.
This post was inspired by the recent death of Prince Rogers Nelson, whose death is also suspicious.
The list of dead musicians is long – next I want to look at John Denver, as we have now a video that has recently appeared and is said to have been filmed in 1996, a year before his death. Something fishy about it, and it is not that he is fly fishing in New Zealand.
___________
*After I began to look into this, I discovered that others have had the same suspicions over the years. There is nothing new going on here. It is just not widely disseminated. Googling “fake death Buddy Holly” leads you right to debunking sites, but not to any real evidence.
___________
PS: I should come clean here. I was coy about offering up that they might really have died. I do not think that at all. I think that the wreckage might have been real, perhaps hauled in on the back of a truck and deposited there. Snow then covered the tracks. Everything after that is fake – there were no cars or men standing around, no corpses – that was all pasted in in a photo studio. Most likely no plane took off that night, none of the suposed victims were even at the airport. It was all a manufactured event.
[Note: This post was written in Portland, and we have seen homelessness here all about, people sleeping in streets and doorways. In one instance we were walking down the sidewalk within a few feet of a bearded and poorly dressed man, and I was approached by a woman hawking some snake oil having to do with travel. I kindly refused her invitation to listen to her presentation. The man a few feet away said “Well, she didn’t want to talk to me.” He knew what what up, his perceptions are keen enough.]

There are nagging problems in this world that seem never to be solved … addiction and homelessness, for instance. I think the underlying presumption in the minds of those we call “right-wingers” and “progressives” is that the person suffering the problem is helpless.
I have already alienated the pwoggies by suggesting that mental illness is wildly overstated, so I might as well go one step further and suggest that helplessness and victimhood are as well.
I don’t truck with right wingers in these matters … I don’t care about bootstraps or economic betterment because that usually involves some form of wage slavery, or what was referred to in the sixties as “selling out.” In right-wing authoritarian type of mind, these problems are solved by getting a job, working 40,60,80 underpaid hours a week in submission to some over-important cracker. That is just another manner of destruction of the human spirit … and not “empowerment.” (But keep at it, son, and some day you too can be a cracker!)
But the pwoggies are no closer to answers with their shelters and shrinks and drugs. These people are down, seemingly defeated, and possibly on the way out. If there is to be redemption, it has to come from inside. If it does not come from there, it will not happen.
It will not be found in drugs, twelve-stepping, religious faith or getting a job. For each person the answer, if one exists, is buried under a life of defeat that results in resignation of the spirit. For each person redemption comes from that same source. To step in that person’s life and “do for” him or her is to further rob the spirit. Just as giving a person money robs that person of ambition, so too does stepping in to solve spiritual problems result in robbing the spirit.
But a bed is nice, and so is food. If we can provide that and dispense with all the other bullshit, maybe these people can find some dignity in knowing that there is a tomorrow. Each one has unique qualities, though perhaps drugs and booze have done so much physical destruction that only a skeleton remains. Even so, the recovery journey has to come from self-leadership and self-discovery. Otherwise, it will not happen.
Keep the shrinks away, however. They ain’t got a clue. Keep the preachers away. They are false leaders. Keep the right wingers and pwoggies away … each has a roadmap to a dead-end.
So I tend to agree that food and shelter are necessary to help the homeless people among us. But that is about all I can offer as a solution, and imagine that I am no closer to the answer than anyone else. These are, after all, complex humans, each one a riddle.
