Update-One possible future- December 2010

note: it is quite a ways down the road and despite many comments as to my almost Poelike doom and gloom predictions- minus the hitting of a more severe epidemic- the road or path- or possible future I have predicted becomes more and more real. I may go down on the net as not having been the most solid cannon in the arsenal- but in the end- I may be one of the most accurate. I am updating this thread for the good of the readers.  I continue to believe that the only way to solve problems is to admit them and not to cover them up or gloss over their severity. When you go into battle you prepare for the worst- you hug your wife and family- knowing - that except for the few around you who are aware of how things realy are on the front line facing some of the greatest challenges in history- you will be and probably die- alone.

It was in a bleak December, when each separate dying ember wrought its ghost upon the floor - Edgar Allen Poe

I had this dream where… I see people in white isolation suits wandering through semi-deserted streets and the hand of the East touching the West that bursts the bubble of not only isolation of culture and industry- but sets free the final strain - carried by droplets which drench us all as we continue to sing and endeavor to maintain the quality of our lives.  I see grasshoppers playing in the dying sun as autumn paints the trees with color as the rain much too early falls the chill of coming night fills the air. I am sad and I am completely alone. I feel a single tear and throat tighten and I don’t know why- is it for the seasons without reasons of my life and past or is it because of the shapes of things to come in our future- which few believe are coming. There is a rising wind in the streets, and the echo of what was-laughing people, children playing in the park- lovers walking hand in hand- and then - silence

People smiling getting gifts for friends and family for Christmas. My son has had H1N1 and he is ok...he stayed at home because he is still getting better. But life is good... the sky is not falling. So go out and have some fun! Life is good!

I have been working with two other M.D. doctors 24/7 tracking the progress of the second wave and possible mutations. We are seeing 4-6 reinfections from separate strains of the same flu. Obviously, since you are not being truly flooded with data- like thousands to twitter stuff from U.K. from sick people- and the outbreaks- including our town- we are not into partying at this point.

Some of us are getting areas ready for SIP and quite honestly in 30-60 days- we will know where this going. While some of you are smelling the roses we have people dying in Pakistan and Afghanistan and generals are crying for troops for our soliders- we have a mountain in Iran with probably several nukes- and we have had 3 terrorist attack alerts including the guy in New YOrk who almost pulled it off- Dallas- and the AQ moving from Pakistan to setting up targets here.

I understand- we have the same thing going on our small town. Everyone is going to Chili fests- and life goes on- their potlucks and open mike nights- and we are not here for entertainment.

We are in the middle of a Pandemic. Second Wave. I understand that reality can be depressing. It is depressing to our soldiers in Afghanistan who are dying and need troops.

Living in the real world where people need to prepare.

No, I am simply posting what is important information for the Survival of many people who are now being diverted in the media and press from issues which can and will change our nation as we know it.

We are losing the battle against the Taliban and this has nothing to do with me personally. We as Americans, if we still have a voice, need to be involved and if we do not act, if we do not continue to avoid making a definitive move to save not only our country but the globe, we will, as in the video you posted, and said you felt was very important, we are going to basically see the situations that some of us are painfully aware of.

I understand the entire current of this site has changed. For many years we have worked together as almost a family to keep people informed of not only information, but disinformation.

You will notice on another thread I have posted the formula to the coming vaccine as best as I have been able to find it.

If you don't want to know the truth and wish to be informed on what is really happening, then simply do not read my posts are threads. It is that simple. If you have issues with specific data, then post equal support and scientific links to support what you are saying.

It is understood people have the right to think as they wish despite the facts or data. If you feel I am too depressing- it is not that I am depressed it an appropriate reaction to real time problems which are not being handled and issues that need to be addressed.

If the truth disturbs you, or if you have an alternate opinion- you can post your opinion. As a research registered with Era Common and working on multiple projects- both in West Virginia and California, I am a scientist. I am what you claim to be and have been working with Lockheed Missiles and Space since I was 17 years old and reviewed the documents of our nuclear capabilities.

I worked hard to lobby through the media and finally was on the 11 o'clock news and influenced the S.A.L.T. peace talks on nuclear disarmament.

Bluntly not only are their hundreds of scientists currently who back me on the misuse of Tamiflu, the mutation of the virus, and what we are desperately trying to track. You claim to be an inventor who works with the U.S. government. If this is so, you have to be aware of knowledge I have concerning the power grid, the essence of biological warfare research in 12 labs in North Korea- and the very possible existence of a nuclear bomb in the hands of the Hizbollah. This is in some cases in the New York Times.

We are currently investigating a terrorist Tech who was that close to blowing up a chunk oif New York. We have specific data on his ties to the Al Queda and a paper and money trail as well as the actual materials being used to make the bomb.

Before my - incident- Dr. Webster- who I indirectly in contact with at St. Judes clearly stated the source of this Pandemic.

For those who find my posting a bummer, then read the happier posts, the travelogue picture and the joking about and recipes threads.

There was a suggestion to remove the prep section here.

Indeed Tech- and as Dr. John, Dr. D, and some very incredibly interesting posters who were not 'tin hats' continue to bravely post the truth- despite many ambushes on them.

You know I have another site. I have felt a kinship to Albert almost since he started this site. I have totally lost contact with him.

If I do not stay a member here, and post the really breaking news on some things, it will just show up here or on the other site with other people posting it.

I have requested 30 times for verification of my credentials in these fields. I have been inventing software and am still currently trying to work on some for NASA and the Mars project to help us when China has planned to take over the moon now water has been found.

Actually I support CDC though I am very critical of the refusal of world nations to adequately count people who are sick.

The widespread infection- the Second Wave that Albert and I and others were going to put to quote Albert 24/7 into as the winter approaches to help people on this site was a promise to me.

The problem is I am posting huge amounts of links and data to support what is happening and if you want to know the truth- you should read them. This constant attempt to discredit me as having what mental conditions is totally without bases. I have undergone at least 5 mental evaluations and have the support of doctors who will testify that I am not  delusional, I am not chronically depressed. I am simply dealing with reality and this is not an escape for me.

I will not just run- unless I simply deleted for posting the truth. We feel there is a real possibility in the development of bioweapons, that at Baxter, who released live virus into a shipment, patented the current H1N1 pathogen, and also was working on a vaccine years before it was ever - put in Mexico. Perhaps it was put in the Smithfield pig farm. We know that there was an epidemic and I have videos, interviews, and Case 0 of this - except for the case in Texas in November.

For almost 10 years I have worked as a dataminer. I was investigated, cleared, and have met with intelligence and many high profile people.

We scientists - Faculty 1000, imminst, those of us working on AI and also now Sentient intelligence provide a constant flow of new technology to TPTB. When the priests will not go along with what the King does not want to hear- in olden times they were executed.

RC, on his departure and many member have supported me for my persistence in ferreting out the truth.

Sometimes there have been standing ovations and sometimes I have made friends with other posters. Everything this happens- everytime I get any type of following- a really serious effort is made to destroy that.

Since we have so many readers, no one wants step up and stand by my side openly. Those who have, doctors, anyone immediately feels the peer pressure and every article posted that supports what I have proved to be facts- gets hit.

Yes, my life is short. My doctors yesterday said if my condition continues to worsen I will be hospitalized for multiple kidney, cancer, and other issues.  I appreciate the prayers of those here. In fact, in some areas of the U.S. there are as many as 10,000 people in prayer groups praying that God will help me. I was informed that even priests and groups in Catholic churches were praying that I can continue- that I survive to get the word out to you all.

Female friends have told me- why do you stay in a place where there are people who consistently attack you personally, make high school level comments.

And time after time I have been told- and in emails thousands- do not quit.

What is being put up is highly relevant and it is often 180 degrees from what the public it told. On  CNN and Fox and used to be Time magazine would often echo my data. Before Julie Gerberding was replaced- she - and we had people in the meetings and drills - saw plainly the truly serious problem.

We need to think on a higher dynamic that is not just about our families. This is a hard call in a nation which has grown so spoiled and so distant from the basic Christian and moral values. Worse than evil, they have become ammoral.

As in Day After we have this woman trying to vaccuum her rug as fired nuclear missiles were heading to target.

The concern is appropriate.

It admin does not want articles posted on the danger of the vaccine- the actual large numbers of spreading infections throughout the globe- and make this into a place where people just ****** about whatever- and find it disturbing when we post about Swineflu-

We have met with groups of psychologists and social workers, even been on T.V., and you know- they all agree. People are not prepared to deal with this. And it is very important to try and develop coping mechanisms for a true menace to our nation.

The Health Care Plan coming- and there are hunters on the net that want to educate us all about how good it is. It is a disaster. The current bill in the Senate and in congress if you read the fine print does not offer an improvement in care- it offers a seriously defective plan which will then be put on all of our people.

People over 65 do not support this. They, as we have documented will be out of the loop. If a person does not have a life expectancy of 5 years treatments will be denied. The bottom line of the plan is that in the end - people will be abandoned.  They will not get life saving procedures because they are too old and it is not cost efficient.

Whenever we start trying to put out data to inform millions who will be effected - try to commnicate that absolute disaster in the Middle East - It is Boy and his Dog with festivals and people trying to cheer up.

We saw almost three dozen local banks fall in one weekend.

I have been posted this stuff for years. And in those times, before the 'change' here people were very united on the danger and on prepping.

Personally I believe there are thousands out there who can sort through all misinformation.

What I have written is a possible future of this December 2009. It is not nutty- and with Iran developing and about to nuke through Hizbollah and we have support Intelligence from MI6- it is not Sarah Conner.

We need to stop the extremists. We need to as a nation either support our troups and send (as per desperate cry from our generals who are under attack and we have lost the edge and the Taliban are winning) soliders in or withdraw.

Reality. Our sons and daughers lives are at stake both in this flu and as well in the world conflicts.

We'll see what happens as the vaccine is given. If all this is just paranoia and the stuff works and saves everything, I will go back underground and work on projects which can make us hundreds of millions of dollars instead of spending my life on computer to warn people and save lives. Before the Pandemic we had more support than in the middle of it.

I have been hitting hard the last few days. And if possible- in the next days to come I will bring you the real news about the outbreaks in U.K., absolute disasters in Mexico- and the strains forming as the Pandemic - Wave Two- spreads across the United States. and the world.

Tech- you know the truth. We have probably spoken on the phone. Why do you continue to attack. Whatever will you do when, if I survive the cancer, I go public and everything you have said is wrong. You will disappear. Your handle will go away. You know that certain technologies are worth huge sums. A friend of mine who founded he game company, Sierra, Ken, sold out for 140,000,000. You don't have to win the lottery. Read the front page article sent to um Albert of my success. My rise from poverty to riches was a classic legend in Silicon Valley. You know it happened. This is all a show for the readers. Albert could post one sentence and debunk your whole deal. Wonder why he won't.. does it take a brain surgeon to figure it out.

When we used to work in the cancer or burn ward, especially with children we had few happy joy joy people. In fact, few nurses wanted to work these locations, second to the morgue.

Nothing I think is more vexing than a funny person at a funeral, or when someone is truly appropriately depressed. It is like telling someone- well you have 3 months to live. Sounds like we have a few who had dying people that managed to laugh until the end. This is beyond my comprehension. The death of my mother devastated my father. He died himself a few years later of a broken heart.

We all have our views of life. I am more than familiar with the happy face entering a group of sad people with the idea that humor and happy stories will fix it up. People need to time to grieve- and making sad people happy even though they are in pretty bad shape- is not for them- it is for the people around them. Funerals are for the living, not the dead.

I actually laughed at the comment that I make Poe look like Howdy Doody. Fact is Poe, Lovecraft, and Shakespeare especially, lost people who were young or they were young themselves and it marked them for life. It was the driving force to their genius as writers, the melancholy and as the Bible said said wisdom is more to be found in the house of mourning than in the laughter of foods, like crackling of wood below the pot.

There is pain and sickness- and there is relentless pain and relentless sickness. These are the people we put away in homes and do not want to see because they bum us out. Well, in a Pandemic, a real serious one, you will surrounded by the sick and dying and it won't be joke book time - it will be survival.

Pain is rarely something you can communicate and our medical system does little about it. 100,000,000 Americans are in constant pain.

Some people visualize a Pandemic as some kind of movie where like a social club happy faced people go around comforting the dying and making jello salad.

Denial is the real enemy at an accident scene. You have someone wandering around dazed and badly hurt. I am okay they say. They are not okay. Saying it a hundred times won't make it reality.

How do people comfort the sick or dying. From experience in at least 100 convalescent homes I can tell you- they don't. They visit, there are gifts, some laughter, and then relative go home feeling good after putting their mom in a pit and taking her house.

My grandmother was put in home when she was 72. She lived to be 96. We have good genes (until I decided to enter the paradise of toxins) What was her life like for 24 years waiting to die.

Not terrific. She had been like Annie Oakly and rode horses and had a picture of horses and said- at night .. the horses move and I ride in my dreams.

Old people are often no fun and isolated. In the ER it is well- gee you have lived long enough- compared to a 13 year old where it is such a tragedy. Like a taxi driver you become a non-person.

I don't try and cheer people up at funerals. I don't tell them well its fine and so and so is in heaven and the speech. I say that losing someone is losing part of yourself. You will never, if you truly loved them be the same. None of the great writers in trajedies were follow the yellow brick road people. Shakespeare had everyone die in his trajedies. Because you see, like in one story Masque of the Red Death- life beyond high school starts getting unfun.

You want to grow up, get your degree, and then- so what. You are older. Kid look at you and you are not young anymore.

At imminst and singularity- we fight against the reaper. We see aging and suffering for its true face. It is neither beautiful or unavoidable. There are those now who have technology to seriously reverse aging and restore youth.

It takes money.

So we through history, the poets, my mother was a poet as am I, chronicle the human condition. Happy news does not sell newspapers. Happy t-shirts don't sell well. And our entertainment is filled with murder and violence because- people are drawn to it like a moth to a flame.

I have found in my posting here- for the most part and being an R.N. there is a total unawareness of the years I have given to helping, comforting, and taking care of others. Like the slap in the face of someone trying to bring back a flatline- no though is ever given to - geez that person may be really going through hell- nope.

And I have paid my dues in the comfort the agonized. I know others who grieve over people, who are sad and we will need those when the world is hit badly with the worse Pandemic.

We aren't going to need a lot of lets make a stick figure - only for the children. Yes, children need to be shielded, they are innocent. But not adults.

Already I am watching the spin emerge depicting all who oppose the vaccine as sick demented mental basket cases. You realize, having worked in medicine for at least 35 years- we aren't.

Compassion isn't rolling a person into a white room so we won't have to see. 

The world is beautiful. However vain we are, it often people who are the problem. I love nature, animals, sunsets, and adventure.

We all play our parts. Those who man the watchtowers are not comedians. I am sure we need comedians- but we all have our paths. Mine is to warn of what is coming.

These are diversionary posts. Please refer to the topics I have posted on the main news. These are simply trolls attempting to destroy credibility. The following are sensitive topics-

1) the fact that the safety of the current vaccine is in question. I have posted a great deal of data showing why this vaccine may be more dangerous than the disease.
2) the fact the Tamiflu is being abused and will soon become useless as an anti-viral.

The statements you are now making ITS are slander and you can be sued. Be aware of that in the future. These are not useful or positive to this site. And your .gov shield will not protect you.

It is time for you to stop now. Allow the readers to focus on the data I am putting up and cease using tactics to detract from those posts. Readers, we are getting more people together to post and put out facts as per spin.

Only 1% -10% of vaccine reactions are reported or in a form to be investigated.

These two users are simply using personal attacks to stop the posting of important data you should be informed about.

I am sending a letter to Ryan by certified mail concerning this situation and to request people on the site slandering be stopped from doing so. It is not funny- it hurts the site.
Those who find my postings boring or actually discuss content is one thing. Personal attacks even from those who have part of the site should not be allowed as per the rules of this site.

The party is over. No more personal attacks.

Crazy is as crazy does.  Med, I will make it my mission in life to expose you for the charlatan you are.  You post all these facts and figures", but you have absolutely no proof to back it all up...no evidence to support your wild, inflammatory rhetoric.  You offer nobody to back you up in your assertions, yet you expect people to believe what you post as being the truth.

(cut and paste above I think for it to work)

"Headshots"

The sign said "Headshots"
And that was all,
A picture of a boy
And a number you could call,
Two eyes in the shade
A mouth so sad and small,
It's strange the way a shadow
Can fall across the wall,
And make the difference
In what you see
Ah...

He's just a poster, but
He's everywhere,
A face under a street lamp
Ripped and hanging in the air,
Turn the corner
And he's still there,
Watching all the people
Who are passing unaware,
Is there a judgement
In what he sees?
Ah...

On a day
As cold
And gray
As today...

The sign says "Headshots"
It's all I see,
A boy becomes a picture
Of guilt and sympathy,
And so I think of you
In memory
Of the days we were together,
And I knew that you loved me
That was the difference
In what we see,
But that's history...
Ah...

comment: And what is history- laying and having just past the day in bleak december when each separate dying ember wrought its ghost upon the floor.

What is truth?

Broken promises. Delusions of hope- misinformation- lies- diversion- conspiracy which has no cohesion.

We wanted a revoluton in Iran. And the old ones said and many of the youth- what have you to offer us- what solid alternative cohesive plan to what we have.

The revolution failed though not for lack of effort and instead we spent an evening begun with a tragic death to set the tone of all things trying to be mirrors of a culture, a world, prosperity and artistry and triumphs of -yesterday.

I will not tax the middle class. What we all wanted to hear. I will go after the rich and the coroporate and the corruption at the very core- did it happen?

The middle class is about to be hit - and the elderly, the sick, the disabled- look to the room in Soylent green with soft music, the drip of euthanasia and doctors with Ipads feeling the new power of life and death. We don't need the feeders.

Some may eventually come to realize that what may seem quite out there to some is reality.


The health care plan thrashed and burned. The economic incentives were too little to late. And a growing unrest in our country who someone decide to ignore the threats of the terrorists and the real danger of high alert yesterday because- it is not a today thing. it may not happen today.

Like a broken romance or marriage is dissolves over time, the strength, the almost magical Titan - America.

Will we choose today to start the diet? Some (I have lost 85 lbs) and am moderately passable for a before and after- didn't choose to diet.

The land of choices and opportunities?

Unemployment? If you don't like the numbers create a new way to generate them.

And headline after headline-

Well- the dreams and hopes of change did not happen. The coming home from wars that now we are enmeshed in - I will bring home our boys and (girls) (men and women- it really is not all that different) - by the end of 2009.

I sat on that day in December watching the snow fall- the beginning of the Ice Age as they trumpeted well my goodness.. maybe the whole event of global warning was a hoax.  Yes, its a hard sell for a heated earth amidst the first snow in Silicon Valley in decades.

And the spin- were we the victim of a incredible conspiracy of the drug lords to sell us a vaccine we never needed. Whatever it was.. H1N1 spread like a fire- but it lacked the killer instinct of even the weakest flu. So sad.

Whole stes and blogs warning -warning- flu Pandemic-

While insidious and real - the stumble of an economy (quote today Bloomberg maybe)
yes-  I have been all over the world and despite our problems we are still the greatest economy and power on earth.

Headshot. And how many cells and stuff is scattered about- little nasty nuclear weapons and blood sworn to make it happen fnally as everyone drinks beer, watches the Olympics, s we have two tapes now and cannot be found cells who need to be found.

You must realize those of us through centuries who have warned and had incredibly bad prognosis as to livng each new day- have always said-

Prepare. Make ready for times and challenges (euphemism for really bad stuff) to come.

The Tea Party- we are in it. And although the basic thoughts are - acceptance of a lesser world- the exchange of false gods for the real one- the worshiping of wood and stone and fascination with twinkling crystal-

Where are we headed? As the smoking caterpillar said - It all depends where you want to go.

Those who can see- will. Those who can listen to the massive blast of spin and through it hear- no solid plans- no great leadership.

What is the answer- what is the solution?

Stop listening to what is designed to put you to sleep. As Skye my son would say

WAKE UP!

We can't avoid the sacrifices- but the longer we wait to make them- the harder they will be. Tomorrow-tomorrow....
We are running out of tomorrows...

We cannot pass legislation based on sweetheart deals to buy votes. States must think and act in the interest of America- not their own home turfer voter pool.

When we lose air superiority- when our enemies can shoot our angels from the sky and we are faced in hand to hand combat  and the echo of gunfire is not from 12,000 miles away- but on our own block- then the popcorn bowls will tumble and the power grid fail- and those who failed to take it seriously be faced with a possible future in December of 2010.

will we have done enough?

I will finish the Survival Book if I have the time left in my life to do. I don't have to be a great author - I merely have to say- we need to take seriously a world where all the glitter and false promises for votes tumble like cards - and together we try and solve the problems of a real world.

The wisdom to know the difference- the difference between what we cannot change-what we must except. We can change anything. It is the price- for every change has a price-we must consider.

Thanks to Suzanne for her links and lifetime work as an excellent musician and singer.

I am active and despite many obstacles- posting the real news however unpopular on the Internet.

There are many ways to protect America. Some are not fighting, but quietly and peacefully working on chaning the things that need to be fixed.

You will come to find as events unfold this year I was very appropriate. Most of the controversial posts - i.e. 500,000 infected in New York were understatements.

Posting about the Iran issue- posting about Afghanistan and Pakistan and even serious threats to our country- are seriious. Posting that we botched so many things- the recovery programs- the health care bill-

Time will tell in this administration how out there I was. And if I was in many cases- it was knowing the very possible future would be.

I have posted we could actually have civil unrest and some serious problems.

Yes, I am out there- ahead of most of the pack finding information which is sometimes hotly disputing when I first post it and later found out to be true. New York.

I have been here for 4-5 years. I have been an admin here and posted almost 14,000 posts. Before last summer- when I hit a few nerves- it was a different place.

Don't post my epitaph until I am dead.

I had a Jewish girlfriend once who said "Oy Vay" was too cliche. She said to use something like "Oy Givault" or somesuch instead.

I'm still trying to figure out what either means... I miss her, she was cute...
