The Tropiary Garden

From the early fifties to the late seventies, Jean Shepherd, a legendary humorist and radio personality, hosted a show on WOR AM in New York- For an hour each week, he would spin hilarious yarns about his youth while growing up in the depression era mid-west- He also offered humorous social commentary about contemporary life in the Big Apple- A Christmas Story is his most famous piece of fiction, concerning young Ralphie Parker, Shepherd’s alter ego, and a BB gun, which was made into a cult movie which is today second only to It’s A Wonderful Life as popular Xmas TV fare-

Occasionally Shep would tell a story that featured two cavemen, Og and Charlie-  In one of the tales, Og had a bum knee and asked Charlie why he had a bum knee and what he should do about it- Charlie, sensing an opportunity, sold Og a bill of goods involving omens and portents that had nothing to do with strained cartilage and the like, Charlie asking for two clams in payment for his analysis- Og, still in pain but relieved of the stress caused by the mystery of his bum knee, dutifully fetched extra clams from the shore and expected his knee to improve- When it didn’t, Og asked Charlie for an explanation- Charlie added some new and irrelevant stipulations to the process of the cure and charged two more clams- Relieved of stress, though still in pain, Og complied- Soon enough, Og became dependent on Charlie’s interpretation of reality, feeding Charlie daily even as his knee got worse- What Shepherd missed, thinking only that people are gullible to fast talkers with a confident voice, is that Og became a stress relief junkie- Charlie’s lies made Og feel good for a time, the relief becoming more addictive as the knee pain increased-

Brian “Razzle” Williams

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.

________________________________________________________________

Let’s get straight to business on this one. Razzle (also known as Nicholas Dingley) was the drummer of the glam rock band Hanoi Rocks from 1982-1984. While Wiki says the band was Finnish, Razzle appears to have been born in the UK and in the only interview of him I could find, he does in fact have a British accent.

The story goes that Razzle was killed in a drunk driving accident in 1984 when his driver, Vince Neil of Motley Crue, crashed into another car in Redondo Beach, California while Hanoi Rocks was on their first American tour.

Brian Williams on the other hand was born in 1959, to Razzle’s 1960, in Ridgewood, NJ. His early life is unexciting except for a broken nose he suffered in a football game, which we will get to later. There is some overlap here, with Williams supposedly starting his broadcast career in 1981 in Pittsburg, Kansas. We’ve learned to ignore most of their early work until they start appearing on television, and even then they may just replace another individual who goes by the same name.

(Fake) Reality Hits You Hard, Bro

A man yells at the media as Republican presidential nominee Donald Trump speaks during a campaign event in Phoenix

So there I was, scanning The Huffington Post to get a sense of the latest propaganda, and all of a sudden I was just minding my own business, when BAM! The picture above came out of nowhere up and hit me in the cranium right between the eyes. And I was like  “Wuuughghghghgh!” Sometimes reality hits you hard.

The picture was accompanied with this headline: “Trump Pounces On Emails As Supporter Chants ‘Jew S. A.” You can follow that link to the videos there or watch this:

Now, the reason the picture knocked me back in my chair was not due to this man’s shocking behavior that shows Trump supporters are anti-Semites who use neo-Nazi hand signals. The cause of the interocular trauma was that I instantly recognized the guy.

The importance of not eating kale

One of the other writers on this blog expressed the sentiment that he still feels that this is my blog, and that he needs to tread carefully. While I have an ego, I don’t have a hard shell “I am fantastic don’t step on my toes” attitude about anything. I am good at enough things to be happy in my skin. Other people are better at most things, and that is part of the fun too. That is why I was so thrilled that five other people agreed to share writing duties here, and that three of them have jumped in.

I view this blog as a laboratory, and anyone of the six of us can come in at any time, day or night, and run experiments. I don’t care if they fail or succeed. Experiments that fail are as enriching as those that succeed. I just want this room to be available for these five people, in addition to myself. They have all shown me that they have active imaginations, that they are intensely curious and not afraid to make mistakes in search of truth. They are also, and this helps immensely, very bright people.

So, lady and gentlemen, do not worry about stepping on toes. The forum is your omelet. While I don’t care for spinach, mushrooms or green pepper, that you do is what makes this research fun.

(I do not like kale, will not eat kale. It is a weed. Whole Foods can get away selling weeds as nutritious food, but they don’t fool me.)

Penthouse Forum

Does anyone here remember Penthouse magazine and the reader’s letters section, Penthouse Forum? I’ll cop to reading these phony baloney letters when I was (very) much younger- Anyway, these letters invariably began with “I don’t usually do this…” as a way of gaining trust in the reader that the letter in question was written by a genuine person, not a staff writer- At the pivot point of the sexy story/confession, the phrase “Needless to say…” was always employed, as the “writer” cops to his/her own temptation and describes some outré behavior that was deemed shocking forty plus years ago-

Well, needless to say, when I saw these two phrases pop up in an email sent to Miles Mathis by a reader, which MM published as an addendum to his Lennon paper, the alarms went off- There are two emails he’s posted in the addendum, the first being a literary hand job to Miles’ greatness, which, on many occasions, I would concur- Um, the greatness, not the, um… The second email is from “Kyle” who informs Miles immediately that he doesn’t usually do this (What, I don’t know- Send emails?) but then Kyle proceeds to disperse conspiracy candy corn with a shovel- Please read the litany of clues Kyle has listed and agree that Let Him Be is indeed a psy-operetta concocted by the same bureau that has been maintaining The Beatles operation lo these many years (Wait for it…. MASONS!)- Also please note that the email, with Miles’ assent, buttresses the “self-evident” nature of the character labeled John Lennon and his singular integrity as an historic artist-

Too Many People? On the Viability of Conspiratorial Beliefs

We’ve all heard it: “That can’t possibly be true—too many people would have to be involved. Somebody would have spilled the beans by now.” In fact, that is usually the first reaction I hear from people I’ve tried to enlighten about topics such as 9/11. It’s almost like a knee-jerk reflex, and it’s apparently enough to stop them from even considering any conspiracy theory further.

This objection has become all the more relevant in light of some of the recent discoveries made on this blog. For example, if so many celebrities are indeed twins, how is it possible that we haven’t heard about it? Wouldn’t hundreds or thousands of people working in the entertainment industry know about this? And what about all the paparazzi?  So how come nobody has come forward?

The “too many people” objection got a major boost in January with the publication of a paper by physicist David Grimes, entitled, “On the Viability of Conspiratorial Beliefs.” Massive media coverage followed, touting his magic formula that “proved” once and for all that conspiracies were bound to fail. (To get a sense of this coverage, just type the following search terms into google: large-scale conspiracies reveal.) “Ah, those conspiracy theorists! Can’t they see it’s impossible? This was written by a physicist at Oxford University and published in a peer-reviewed journal. What more proof do you need?”

I’m here to show you that the paper actually proves the exact opposite of what we are told. That’s right, I’m telling you that the paper actually supports the viability of large-scale conspiracies. I also want to offer a few more words about the “too many people” response. But first, a bit about the author of the paper and the journal it was published in. Continue reading “Too Many People?

More fake family photos and unusual resemblances

joplin-family

The above photo is the Joplin family. Judging by hair styles, I would guess it to have been taken in the early 1960s, except for “Janis,” of course. She is dressed in a manner that would be more common in the mid-to-late sixties. She has been pasted in to the photo much in the same manner as John Denver in the Deutschendorf family photo in the previous post. With Denver, it was his head on someone else’s body, but in this instance they have superimposed the entire body of Janis over someone else. Otherwise the photo would make no sense. It would be of four people and an empty space. (The sharp lines on Janis, the odd black space between inner left arm and torso are the giveaway, in addition to manner of dress.)

I suggest that Janis Joplin, a set of twins by the way, was given a back story, that her name was not Joplin, that this was not her family, and that in her current Zombie state, her name is also not “Amy Goodman.”

A whole new world …

denver-family-photo

Commenter lux brought us the above photograph, said to be of singer John Denver and his family. In my piece on the fake death of Denver, I did not think to go back into his childhood. It was a classic mistake, assuming things to be as we are told they are without examination. Assumptions kill.

In the photo are, left to right, Henry John Deutschendorf Jr. (Denver), Ron and mother and father, Irma and John Sr. The photo is fake. Not only is the lighting on Denver’s face wrong, his head is too big, perhaps a third again that of his brother. He does not resemble anyone. It led us to suspect that John Denver was not the son of Irma and Henry John Deutschendorf Sr., or the brother of Ron. Further evidence is that Ron has a son, Henry John Deutschendorf II, which would actually be Denver’s place in the family if he was really part of it.

The question that naturally follows is “Why is this faked photo there?” Then follows “Who was this guy, John Denver, really?”, and “Does this same sort of fraud happen with other performers?”, and, of course, the natural end product that leads to yet newer and more fascinating discoveries,”Why?”

There is more in store here, more discoveries to unfold. Stay tuned. We are currently six writers, and I doubt any of us knows the future. We have only our brains and imaginations.

The Curious Case of Lindsay Lohan

One trend I’ve been noticing with many of the twins, particularly the most famous ones, is that there always seems to be some sort of mention of twins, usually in a tongue-in-cheek manner.

Mark already noted the “photoshopped” images of the Drake and Rihanna twins, then there is Justin Timberlake’s “secret half brother” and the Jennifer Lawrence twin sister sketch.

So it’s not a surprise that there are similar stores regarding Hollywood party girl/hot mess Lindsay Lohan seeing that when she was a child she starred in the remake of The Parent Trap.

Election speculation

Though we don’t dwell on it here, we realize that many people are preoccupied with political contests. I am no psychic, and have not understood until recently how it is going to shake out. But seeing now what will happen in twenty days makes it a little easier to understand what came before.

Bernie Sanders we have long understood to be a sheepdog. His job was to keep progressives interested in the political process. They allowed him to tail Hillary closely, even throwing the Michigan primary for him, before giving all his energy over to her.  Hillary was to be the Democratic nominee from the start.

Trump is a little more difficult to understand, as he is a terrible candidate, and would even lose in a real contest. He was put in place because Hillary is so undesirable, so un-electable, that the only way to make her ascension to the office seem natural was to run her against a candidate worse than her. That is why they chose Trump.

Hillary was selected to be on the Senate Watergate Committee at age 27 in 1973, having no qualifications, in fact having just flunked the DC bar exam. This is a sign of a rising star, to never be allowed to fail even when she fails. She was a chosen one, as was her future husband, Bill, whom she was sent to Arkansas to marry after leaving  the Watergate Committee.

Both she and Bill are most likely gay. It was a marriage of convenience from the start, and is to this day. Bill’s many affairs are both the stuff of legend, and misdirection. If they can keep the partisans asking the wrong questions, then the answers do not matter.
