(It's Uther's day!) (Pendragon = Son of the dragon)



ANOTHER ANONYMOUS TIP!

     Oh, Jimmie, Jimmie, Jimmie. What have you done now?
     What are we supposed to think when you go out, build the gallows, step onto the platform, and even stick your own head into the noose like this?


     And you ... If you're still a Q anon skeptic after this, you need help.
     Even I've told you right here before that Q and Trump have cut off all their other communication channels, and that simply by proving to them that there's nothing they can say or do that isn't being recorded by the NSA. And this forces them to use their only remaining option: Semaphores. That means things just like this, the sort of bizarre things you've gotten used to thinking of belonging only in a John le Carré novel. I told you; it's all real. They really do these things. And Comey really did this thing.
     I also told you that the C_A have an army of these lone wolf sleepers out here among us. And they're trained to watch for, and interpret just the sort of signals that Jimbo broadcast. (And the numbers stations have all been seized and/or shut down, too.)
     But homey Comey won't be alone up there on that platform. Someone gave him the details about this particular cell, and even the code to trigger them. And you can bet the Q-team know exactly who that was. But me? I'll just have to guess, so I'm going to guess it was another James: Clapper.
     But that's not even the real question.
     What is the real question?
     WHY? (of course)
     Was this meant to be another distraction? Perhaps from the impending declassification of documents?
     Or was someone being targeted?
     Who was expected to be in attendance at that Blue Marble Jubilee?
     I'm researching...

Light Rail Reality

     It's recently come to my attention that England and Europe are now using guided buses.
     What's that?
     Imagine a streetcar or subway rolling on rubber tires, the same tires any commercial, long-haul (18-wheeler) truck would use. The same tires city buses use.



     Cool! The future is now, right?
     WRONG!
     The future was forty years ago.


     So what took so long?
     This is yet another one of the many revelations that came to me during my time (one year) at Daimler-Benz AG. As unwanted and unwelcome as I was (being a foreigner, taking up space that belonged to a German), the engineers I worked with were at least curious enough to spend time with me at lunch, around the water cooler, etc., getting to know me, and even answering my questions. In the course of these conversations, the matter of the recently canceled guided bus came up. Having never heard of such a thing, I was naturally curious, and that was actually well received. This interloper American actually wants to learn something about this noble enterprise that is Daimler-Benz. So, I was permitted to explore the company library, and even the archives. I sat and watched the promotional films, and even the chronicle films. (These are the films companies like this make for later 'the history of' documentaries.)


     I was impressed. The entire project was really brilliant in the way it leveraged existing products to provide new or expanding cities a means of adding public transportation to new areas, or along new routes to existing areas.
     This was important, especially back in the 1970s, and even into the 1980s, because of Germany's still sizzling Wirtschaftswunder.
     (Recall that I told you [and them] that, while America may have been the home of the computer [actually, it was Germany], I, an American, had never even so much as seen a real computer in America. My first experience with one was in Germany.)
     Anyway, in the course of this research, I learned that the entire project had been abruptly, and completely canceled, and not willingly. In fact, as it turned out, the combined governments of Europe pressured Germany and Daimler to completely scrap and bury the project. And my colleagues were still stinging from that indignity years later.
     But, why would all those governments do such a thing?
     Because the rail unions were blackmailing them.
     What am I saying, unions? It's really all just one big union, a Europe-wide, non-elected, shadow-government with the power to bring an entire continent to heel, and even the splendidly isolated British Isles, too.
     When Americans swoon over European railways, they have utterly no idea just how expensive those rails are. They are, in fact, the primary reason for the famously expensive gasoline in England and Europe. Gasoline is taxed to support not only roads, but railways, too. And that in addition to other subsidies they receive.
     And it's not just the cost of the rails, which are acutally more expensive than paved roads, or the trains, which are far more expensive than trucks and buses. It's not even the cost of the grossly overpaid union leaders and their friends. It's the expensive and expansive war-chest the union maintains as an emergency backup hammer with which to defeat entire governments.
     Why?
     Because they can. That's why.
     Remember, power tends to corrupt. Absolute power absolutely corrupts. And the European rail union has absolute power.
     Like all unions, wannabe tyrants climb their ranks, eager to get their hands on the power to throttle entire nations. And the more those nations allow those unions to expand the rail systems, the more power those unions have to manipulate their host nations. Have you never wondered why, exactly, it is that you see streetcars just everywhere in European cities? You practically have to have eyes in the back of your head in many downtown areas to avoid getting run over by them. No one really wants quite that much presence. And, when right-thinking politicians (as rare as they are) or citizens' groups try to get the rails moved underground, the unions dispatch their fleets of flying monkeys to shut them down.
     And the rail themselves are a big problem, too. I know. I rode a motorcycle and bicycle all over Germany. Those tracks in the streets were the biggest, most constant hazard facing all motorists, especially those on two wheels.
     But the rail unions want you riding rails, door-to-door, cradle-to-grave. They don't care that you slip, slide, or even crash because of their rails embedded in your roads. As far as they're concerned, their rails are not the problem; your roads are. And, if you manage to elect a politician actually brave enough to try to do something aboout it, there'll be a railway strike. And that strike will expand as needed, to include long-distance and high-speed trains, freight-trains, national railways, even other countries' railways will be shut down, effectively killing those nations, until that politician is forever silenced.
     And that is exactly what happened to Daimler.
     Their brilliant, fuel-efficient, series hybrid bus could operate on city streets, running on natural gas, just like any other bus. But, when it got to the edge of town, where the road ended, it could automatically find its way into a prefab, concrete track that had been laid out there to extend its route to outlying areas with no direct road access. And these prefab tracks required little to no ground preparation. Just make sure the ground is solid an level, and drop the track pieces into place, and you've got a road for this clever bus cum streetcar to travel. And, when it ran out of track, it could just travel over city streets like everyone else. And all that with no need to extend any new power lines, either overhead or in the rollway.


     Brilliant! And an absolute threat to the rail union.
     And the rail union had the power to kill it in the womb.
     And they did.
     But we're seeing guided buses now. What's changed?
     That's a good question, but one thing is sure: It's taken almost FORTY YEARS to sort out. So, I can only think that the rail unions have found a way to let the bus-makers and citizens think they're getting a compromise, but with the rail union still in control. Perhaps they've wrangled a deal where the rail union alone is permitted to build the rollways. I see, for example, in the pictures that I've been able to locate, that the new tracks are not like the ones Daimler developed. The new tracks appear to require almost as much construction effort as steel railroads. And they often exist where they don't really need to, often alongside existing roads that the buses could use, too. So, maybe that was the trick; give the devil his due.


     And maybe that's also why were seeing so many light-rail initiatives in so many American cities: The powers behind the European rail union see the hand writing on the wall. These rubber-tired streetcar/buses will ultimately spell the doom of their streetcar-level dominion, so expanding into new territory becomes their end-run play, their dodge. And that new territory is us.
     Defeat light rail anywhere and everywhere it is ever proposed, or your city, too, and, eventually, the nation will find itself at the mercy of this union. And you, too, will find yourself having to pay $10 for a gallon of gas in order to subsidize embedding hazardous rails in your roads.

Starlight

     Would you believe that this is actually a raging debate among armchair experts?


     Ok, let me clear this up, just in case you run into any of these nuts.
     This video is edited, and that's your first clue. (I just loathe those who make and love a lie.) But, if you listen to any of the original sources, and think about the circumstances, and what they're really saying, then it becomes evident that what they're trying to express is that, when in space, stars do NOT appear the same as from inside our atmosphere. Our atmosphere tends to spread and scatter starlight, making them actually more visible. In fact, the earth creates a giant shade, blocking the sunlight, making it easier for human eyes to see the stars. And this is because our irises can fully dilate. But, in space, there is no atmosphere, and there is little to no shade. You are either fully exposed to sunlight, or to other objects, like your own suit, ship, or the moon, reflecting full sunlight into your eyes, causing your iris to fully contract. Under those circumstances, the tiny pinpricks of light that the stars become in space become completely invisible. Only on the dark side of the moon, when it's on the dark side of the earth, can a human being see any stars.



     Or, a human can see stars when using a special optical device, like a scope, or from inside a sunshade, like the Lunar Lander's ascent stage. In fact, one of the penny-pinching solutions NASA devised for properly aligning the ascent stage with the command module was to have the pilot locate a certain star in a scope over his head. When the star was in the scope, they were properly aligned. So, the astronauts could clearly see, and even identify the stars from inside the LEM.

     But, while we're on the subject ...


     This ... this literally makes me weep. I grew up in space-age America. I saw hope on the horizon. And I was part of it. I was there. What went wrong?
     What am I saying? I know exactly what went wrong. And I know exactly who's responsible.
     But now we have Donald John Trump, Q, and the team.
     God bless America.
     Give me back the country I loved.
     Righteousness will come up from below.
     Righteousness will come down from above.
