- The Well Manicured Man. From The X-Files Episode: The Blessing Way 

The Well-Manicured Man introduces himself to Scully and warns her that she is about to be killed, either by someone she knows or by two men who will kill her at her home and dump the gun there.  

Alien craft heading towards earth Bigger than we thought.

"Chilling update," say scientists. And maybe even SCARIER! More Terrifying! Yikes! 

Daily Mail: Scientists give chilling update on the mysterious 'interstellar object' racing through our solar system – as they warn it's even BIGGER than we thought.

🤣

"Why the hell is no one saying anything?"

Because it's a Psy-Op. 

 

"Hostile Alien Ship. Weaponized alien craft."  🤣 

Straight from "The X-Files" series.

Daily Mail: Inside the hellish nightmare as madman attacks stranded crew at isolated Antarctica research station.

A researcher at an isolated station in Antarctica allegedly turned into a violent madman, leaving his team living in fear and revealing a terrifying culture of violence.

The unnamed male team member at the remote Sanae IV base was accused of attacking one of the South African crew's nine researchers, threatening to kill another, and sexually assaulting two women.

According to an urgent email from a Sanae IV researcher to the South African government, the unstable man's actions had become 'deeply disturbing' and the scientists needed an emergency evacuation.
[.]
Despite Environment Minister Dion George claiming the base is now 'calm and all is under control,' this is just the latest in a shocking pattern of strange behavior among scientists in Antarctica.
[.]
'You can imagine what it's like. It is close quarters and people do get cabin fever. It can be very disorientating,' Minister George said.

The long stretches of isolation and working in close quarters means that each researcher must undergo a series of background checks, physical and medical assessments, and a psychometric evaluation before they are cleared for the expedition.

However, many of these incidents aren't just cases of scientists losing their cool.

Maybe it really is the Black Oil alien virus?

We'll probably never know what really happened. 

 

Guess who's on trial for (GASP!), CORRUPTION!

"Benjamin Netanyahu" - NetanyaWHO? His REAL NAME is  Benzion Mileikowsky, keep reading. He's charged with corruption, bribery, fraud and attempts to garner favorable press coverage. I know...I know...SHOCKING!

Al Jazeera: Benjamin Netanyahu’s corruption trial, what you need to know.

The Israeli prime minister is facing corruption charges that could see him sentenced to up to 10 years in prison.
[.]
He is up against three separate cases of corruption filed in 2019: Case 1000, Case 2000, and Case 4000, which include allegations of bribery, fraud, and breach of trust.

He denies any wrongdoing and claims to be the victim of a politically orchestrated “witch-hunt” by rivals and the media to remove him from office. [Of course The Son of Perdition Plays The Victim Card! LMAO! 🤣 - DD]
[.]
Case 1000:

Also known as the “Gifts Affair”, this case charges the Israeli prime minister with fraud and breach of trust.

It involves allegations that Netanyahu and his wife Sara received lavish gifts from two wealthy businessmen in exchange for political favours.

The businessmen are Arnon Milchan, an Israeli Hollywood film producer, and Australian billionaire James Packer. The gifts allegedly include champagne and cigars.

Milchan testified that he provided gifts to Netanyahu in June 2020.

Netanyahu is accused of advancing Milchan’s interests by helping secure a United States visa after speaking to US government officials.

He is also accused of advancing a tax exemption law that could have benefitted Israelis abroad, including Milchan.
[.]
The goods were valued at approximately 700,000 shekels ($186,000)[.]
[.]
Case 2000:

It says Netanyahu made a deal with businessman Aron Mozes, a controlling shareholder of the Israeli daily Yedioth Ahronoth, for favourable coverage in exchange for legislation to slow the growth of the rival Israel Hayom newspaper.

This case also charges him with fraud and breach of trust.
[.]
Case 4000:

This case indicts Netanyahu for granting regulatory favours to Israeli telecommunications company Bezeq in return for positive coverage of him and his wife on a news website controlled by its former chairman.

Netanyahu, in his capacity as communications minister at the time, allegedly provided regulatory benefits to Shaul Elovitch, the owner of Bezeq who also controlled the news website Walla.

The benefits reportedly included mergers and financial gains.

In exchange, Elovitch provided favourable coverage of Netanyahu and his wife.

More after the Pagebreak >> His name is Benzion Mileikowsky, not Benjamin Netanyahu. Ben-zion! 🤣 ⏬

Hey Florida, what's up with Lizard People?

Click=enlarge

The text from pic if you don't want to click:

The whole Lizard People Thing is Crazy Right?

I was flying international first class to Miami and had a rare conversation with the person next to me. Within 20 minutes I raised our partition as she would not shut the fuck up about Lizard people and caves into a hollow earth etc. Next day I had a meeting with a successful business owner who runs a company in a high tech industry. Lots of government contracts, really smart guy. Over lunch, he fucking starts talking about Lizard people. He had a slightly different take than airplane lady, but what are the odds? Is everybody in Florida fucking crazy or are chameleons running the world?

It's Hillary, isnt it?

Is discussion of Lizard People common among Floridians? Can anyone add  context (comment)? Appreciate it!

Burt Reynolds as God, tonight on The X-Files.

Ever wonder how God operates? We really don't know. Our human mind is incapable of grasping or understanding. We just can't. 

I'm pretty sure He's not the cosmic creation that some people seem to think is in Heaven currently sending down rain, floods, fires and earthquakes because "America is the Great Satan or the Whore of Babylon." To imply this is to say that, if America is the Whore of Babylon then there is a pimp. Continuing with this idea or thinking, one must assume IF America is Babylon then there's a pimp - so...that means the pimp is Israel? Right? Hello...Yes? No? 

Why would God now be sending storms and disasters upon America or any other part of the world? He's God - He knew all things before they happened. At best or worst, He's simply watching play out what He already knows. 

He gave us Free Will, the ability to make choices; good, bad or other. And He already knows, before we do, how we will respond and react.

Yes, God may test us. But He already knows the result. He wrote the test and knows the answers - long before we do. 

Which brings me to a rerun of an episode of "The X-Files" airing tonight titled, "Improbable."

The X-Files - Improbable.
COMET TV - Sun Feb 25 @ 9 pm ET/PT, 8 pm CT, and 10 pm MT.

It's an excellent episode with Reynolds perfectly cast in the role. 

Watching the episode closely, you'll notice a consistent theme using the number "3", or triple items. Is this a representation of The Holy Trinity: The Father, The Son and The Holy Spirit? Viewers can decide this on their own.

God allows things to happen because He already knows the outcome. He may choose to intervene, yet may choose not to. Miracles happen; this is where my tiny human mind pauses to think that if God does intervene, it's for good, not bad. Again, though, He already anticipated this because He knew about it well before it happens.

My personal opinion: He may intervene in a crisis to help and assist someone in danger, to rescue or save someone. But I highly doubt He's throwing lightening bolts down on anyone or any country because of the current political state of the world. Why would He do that when He knows the outcome? There's simply no logic in thinking He's actively punishing any one or any place. HE ALREADY KNOWS. It's already written.

Deliverance actor Cowboy Coward dies. "Got a Real Purdy Mouth."

Daily Mail: Herbert Coward dead at 85: Deliverance actor - who played Toothless Man - killed in car crash.

Herbert Coward, best known for playing Toothless Man in the 1972 classic Deliverance, has died in a car crash aged 85.

Coward died alongside his partner Bertha Brooks, 78, his beloved pet chihuahua named Little Man and his squirrel named Cowgirl after his silver Nissan was hit by a truck driven by a 16-year-old on Wednesday afternoon.

Neither Coward nor Brooks was wearing a seatbelt and the teen driver was not speeding, ABC news reported. 
[.]
Coward shot to fame following the release of Deliverance, in which he delivered some of the most iconic lines including 'He got a real pretty mouth, ain't he?'

Most of his lines were improvised, Coward later told News 13.
[.]
He gained his toothless smile after being hit in the face with a pistol during a staged gunfight at the park. He earned his 'Cowboy' nickname for operating bulldozers that built Ghost Town, which opened in June 1961.
[.]
He remained friend [sic] with [Burt] Reynolds throughout their lives, and saw the star just weeks before his death in 2018.

'Burt said he didn't have but three friends — real friends — and I was one of them because I never asked him for nothing,' he said.

If you can get your hands on the Deliverance Anniversary or Deluxe Edition DVD, (check with a library), watch the special feature interviews with the cast and director John Boorman. 

Reynolds: "I asked John (Boorman) why he's shooting this film in sequence since most movies never are. He said, because if one of you dies I can write it into the script."  🤣 That is wicked and dark. 🤣

It's a great movie. 

RIP.

Aliens are here says Stanford prof.

News Australia: Stanford professor says aliens are ‘100 per cent’ on earth, US is ‘reverse-engineering downed UFOs’.

A Stanford professor who has researched unidentified aerial phenomena for the US government says he believes extraterrestrial intelligence has not only visited earth but “it’s been here a long time and it’s still here”.

Dr Garry Nolan also claimed that whistleblowers who have worked on “reverse-engineering downed craft” had recently given classified testimony to Congress, creating a “hornet’s nest in Washington”.
[.]
During the session, moderator Alex Klokus, founder and managing partner of Salt Fund, asked Dr Nolan, “Do you believe that extraterrestrial intelligence has visited planet earth?”

“I think you can go a step further — it hasn’t just visited, it’s been here a long time and it’s still here,” Dr Nolan replied.

The CSM told us this long ago. 🤣

Lake Huron object was a kite?

It probably was a kite. The Biden Handlers can't be trusted, at all or on anything, to tell the public the truth.

Except for the first spy balloon that was sent by China (and allowed to gather intel across the USA because Resident Diaper is owned by Xi), the rest of these sighting is, IMO, Psy Ops and distraction. 

 

Roll out the UFOs...again...because we're on the verge of WW3 and everything else is turning to shit at breakneck speed due the manipulation of senile Biden by his handlers and the globalists. They need to deflect, so...Aliens.

What the f**k are they planning on 24 september 2022‼

America First: What Ominous Event Do They Have Planned for September 24th?

Perhaps nothing is planned for September 24th. Perhaps if we could listen to the remainder of his speech it would be obvious that he is referring to something completely trivial. The reason why this caught my attention is because I do believe that September 25th and September 26th will be very significant.

This year, Elul 29 begins at sundown on September 24th and it runs until sundown September 25th. As I detailed in a previous article, we witnessed the worst stock market crash in U.S. history up to that time on Elul 29 in 2001. That record stood until it was broken precisely 7 years later on Elul 29 in 2008.

Elul 29 fell on a Sunday in 2015, and the stock market is closed on Sundays.  So no record was going to be broken then. However, we did see a tremendous amount of financial shaking in August and September of that year.

In 2022, Elul 29 once again falls on a Sunday.  So there will be no stock market crash on that day either. But I will be watching very closely because Rosh Hashanah begins at sundown on Sunday, September 25th.

Guess we'll find out in 24-72 hours. Either something or nothing.

I've never understood the fascination that many people have with Teh Royal Family.

Soul Ask: Princess Diana May well Have Been Right about The Royal Family.

4. Princess Diana herself referred to the British royal family as “lizards” and “literally not human”.

5.The popular princess [Diana] went so far as to publicly refer to the British House of Windsor as “lizards” and “reptiles.” “They’re not human,” she said.  6 Diana grew to believe that the British monarchy, with all its hidden power, were her enemies. [6]. In Great Britain, all members of MI5, MI6 (British intelligence agencies), members of Parliament, and military officers swear an oath of loyalty to the monarchy, not to the United Kingdom. [5] [6].

Heavy.com is NOT reliable. Reports John Earnest "open lettter filled with references" to 4Chan.

Heavy.com is unreliable.

Case in point, their story of John Earnest: 5 Fast Facts You Need to Know, item # 3:

John Earnest posted a link his manifesto on 8chan, an imageboard-style forum, and his “open letter” is filled with references to the far right and other dark corners of the Internet. He also referenced 4Chan’s /pol/ message board.

Earnest's "open letter / manifesto" never once mentions 4Chan. He mentions 8Chan once, referring to how others will post on 8Chan writing, " 'Feds are talking to me guys because I post on 8chan, it’s so spooky’ are ‘organically’ popping up.' What a load of shit [.]"

He's writing about the postings of others on 4Chan and 8Chan, not himself.

WTF Heavy? What and who are the "Other Dark Corners of the Internet"? The only reference Heavy makes is PewDiePie as their example of a "Dark Corner"? PewDiePie (PDP) a "Dark Corner"? AYFKM?

Earnest's manifesto does mention /pol/ but both 4Chan and 8Chan have their versions of a similar sub using /pol/ and simply, /p.  I don't know what point Heavy.com is attempting to make. That Earnest was radicalized by what he read or viewed on 8Chan, 4Chan or PDP?

I haven't looked today, but I'd imagine John Earnest and his terrorist actions are mentioned all over The Chans. I spent some time at 4Chan last night and found nothing referencing him prior to the shootings.

According to Media Bias, Heavy.com skews politically Left. Please, no - I'm not saying "we can't ever trust Left-leaning media sites."

I can't remember the exact story, but it was recent. I read various reports on the issue. Again, wish I could remember the topic but I can't. Essentially, what I read were conflicting information the likes of:

One story said, "the car was heading east."

A second story said, "the car was heading west."

That kind of thing.

Heavy.com is known for it's "Five Fast Facts You Need to Know About [Insert subject or issue]." Heavy.com is like Wikipedia. Both are okay, below mid-level, sources for general, casual information and knowledge on any subject. For reliable and factual information, it is up to all of us to dig deeper.

FEMA, Trump declares national emergency and Doctor Alvin Kurtzweil of The X-Files.

CBS News: FEMA Admin Brock Long resigns yesterday, Feb. 13.

NBC News: President Trump set to declare national emergency.

The exit of Mr. Long leaves Pete Gaynor as Deputy Admin, the Number Two man at FEMA.

Not connecting any dots together, but recall the words from the character Dr. Alvin Kurtzweil in the 1998 movie The X-Files: Fight the Future, from the clip:

Here's a very Dystopian Op/Ed at Philly.com, fanning fear over Trump declaring a "national emergency."

The Number One man in FEMA is gone. Within a day or two, Trump declares a national emergency. FEMA is without its primary director. Maybe that Op/Ed at Philly.com is looking good. "Trump Declares Self Emperor." The not-far future: "Trump Suspends 2020 Election." If it makes the heads of Liberals explode, I'm all for it.

Is there more to this than coincidence that the FEMA Admin resigned (due to  questions of Long's vehicle and transportation usage) and Trump isthisclose at declaring a national emergency?

Thoughts/Opinions on what's going on here? Was The X-Files right (again) with predictive programming or is this simply coincidental and creative fiction?
