When Standard Oil was ordered broken up in 1911, John D. Rockefeller started the Rockefeller Foundation as a way of changing his terrible public image. Rockefeller Holdings did business with the Nazis throughout World War II. They provided oil and gas to the Nazis. Senator Harry Truman told reporters that the company’s actions constituted “treason.” The Rockefeller Foundation funded the Kaiser Wilhelm Institute for Psychiatry in Munich, Germany. They also provided large grants to the institute throughout the Hitler era. The Rockefeller Foundation also funded the Kaiser Wilhelm Institute for Anthropology, Eugenics, and Human Heredity. If you follow the money, the Rockefellers, the Warburgs, and the Harrimans are often found behind the implementation of eugenics and psychiatric mind control. These families worked with the Round Table groups of Cecil Rhodes, who was an operative of the Rothschild family. After Hitler came to power, psychiatric institutes were incorporated into the Nazi system. The Nazis instituted a sterilization law, which was based on the Virginia Sterilization Act of 1924. At Auschwitz, many Jews filled out questionnaires from the Kaiser Wilhelm Institute. After being tortured and killed, some of their body parts were shipped to the same institute.
Wilhelm Maximilian Wundt, who is known as the father of experimental psychology, created the first experimental psychology laboratory. This became the model for psychological research around the globe. Jim Keith, who was offed by the CIA, said that Wundt “rejected the moral equation in dealing with mankind—thereby putting man in a test tube [so to speak]—and by doing so opened the door to many of the atrocities that followed in this century, including the horrors of mind control.” Next came along Ivan Petrovich Pavlov, with his discovery of classical conditioning. Pavlov implanted tubes into the cheeks of dogs, so that he could measure saliva levels. The dogs were conditioned to salivate at the sound of a bell, because they associated the sound of the bell with food. Then came John Watson, who used classical conditioning on “Little Albert.” Watson conditioned the toddler to fear a white rat. He repeatedly made loud noises when the boy was with the rat, frightening him. Albert was 11 months old when his conditioning began. Watson claimed that he could take any 12 infants and mold them into whatever kind of people he desired by using behavioral techniques. He also stated that “men are built, not born.” Now we get to Burrhus Frederic Skinner, who is called the father of operant conditioning. Skinner was also interested in the works of Ivan Petrovich Pavlov and John Watson. He conducted animal experiments in a “Skinner box.” He used rewards and punishments to shape behaviours. “Through some tinkering, he created the ‘air crib,’ a climate controlled environment for an infant. One of these air cribs resides in the gallery at the Center for the History of Psychology in Akron, Ohio.” His daughter slept and played in this box/crib for the first 2 years of her life. “We see operant conditioning training us everywhere, intentionally or unintentionally.”
The Nazis killed around 300,000 people with disabilities and mental illness in psychiatric hospitals. The United States, under Project Paperclip, brought around 5,000 Nazi scientists into the country. Charles Eliot Perkins, one of America’s leading chemists, said, “I was told of this entire scheme by a German chemist who was an official of the great Farben chemical industries and was also prominent in the Nazi movement at the time. I say this with all earnestness and sincerity of a scientist who has spent nearly 20 years’ research into the chemistry, biochemistry, physiology and pathology of fluorine—any person who drinks artificially fluorinated water for a period of one year or more will never again be the same person, mentally or physically.” The National Toxicology Program of the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services states that there is a connection between fluoride and lowered IQ in children. Yet they don’t know if the dosage of fluoride, which they put in the water, is enough to lower IQ. Oddly enough, after all these years, the government doesn’t know if the amount of fluoride they are using is lowering the IQ of it citizens! A scientific paper titled “Fluoride and Pineal Gland,” found that fluoride accumulates in the pineal gland. The pineal gland undergoes mineralization and accumulates “extremely high concentrations of fluoride,” “making it the most fluoride-saturated organ of the human body.” Fluoride causes oxidative stress. Melatonin, which the pineal gland produces, helps to relieve oxidative stress. Yet melatonin production is reduced in a Pineal Gland that is calcified and saturated with fluoride. Scientific research has found that higher concentrations of fluoride stimulate the process of mineralization. Melatonin also helps to regulate the sleep cycle. It’s easy to see how fluoride could cause a population to have less energy due to the disruption of their sleep cycles caused by lower melatonin levels, thus producing a more lethargic and passive society. It could possibly cause an increase in mental illnesses, neurodegenerative diseases, brain tumors, and strokes. Fluoride also accumulates in other soft tissues such as the aorta, coronary arteries, and placenta. Therefore, fluoride can mineralize both hard and soft tissue.
In Prussia, the first compulsory school system was instituted. Although this educational system greatly improved literacy rates, it also created a dumbed-down style of education. It was criticized for its social control, for its creation of obedient subjects, and for its destruction of free will. The Prussian model of education greatly influenced other educational systems, such as the American educational system. In America, they moved away from phonics to a dumbed-down version of reading called sight-reading (Dick and Jane). This system of “not-teaching-reading was used essentially to disadvantage all but the privileged class.” It was said that if a child could be kept from reading well in the first six or seven years of school, then the damage would be done. This kind of curriculum is supposed to outwardly look academic. Yet it is comprised of units that are either too short for proper and effective learning, or too long and wasteful and inefficient. All who have gone through the public educational system have been given a dumbed-down education. Common Core, No Child Left Behind, and the Three-Cueing System are prime examples of education being increasingly dumbed-down. Modern education is about socializing students, as opposed to teaching them to be true critical thinkers. Yet the ability of children to socialize has declined and so has their literacy.
Dr. G. Brock Chisholm, the first director-general of the World Health Organization, said, “What basic psychological distortion can be found in every civilization of which we know anything? The only psychological force capable of producing these perversions is morality—the concept of right and wrong. The re-interpretation and eventual eradication of the concept of right and wrong are the belated objectives of nearly all psychotherapy.” He also remarked, “To achieve world government, it is necessary to remove from the minds of men, their individualism, loyalty to family traditions, national patriotism and religious dogmas.”
The CIA desired to create a Manchurian Candidate. Dr. George Estabrooks stated in an interview that to make an effective assassin, one must use hypnosis to create multiple personalities. Estabrooks also said, “I can hypnotize a man without his knowledge or consent into committing treason against the United States.” He also suggested that Lee Harvey Oswald and Jack Ruby could have been acting through hypnosis. The intelligence community found that hypnosis was more effective with the use of drugs.
The CIA was very interested in LSD. CIA spook, George Hunter White, who would secretly slip LSD into the drinks of johns, stated, “I was a very minor missionary, actually a heretic, but I toiled wholeheartedly in the vineyards because it was fun, fun, fun. Where else could a red-blooded American boy lie, kill, cheat, steal, rape, and pillage with the sanction and blessing of the All-Highest?” The CIA contacted Dr. Nick Bercel in 1953. They asked him how much LSD it would take for the population of Los Angeles to trip out. Bercel, however, found that chlorinated water neutralized LSD. The CIA, of course, moved on to more potent drugs like 3-Quinuclidinyl Benzilate.
The military and the CIA were also testing Phenylcyclohexyl Piperidine (PCP), also known on the streets as Angel Dust. Since the CIA was behind the push of LSD on the streets, it doesn’t take a rocket scientist to see how PCP made it onto the streets (how about crack cocaine?). “According to a 1968 FBI memorandum, Jerry Garcia, the leader of the Grateful Dead, was used ‘to channel youth dissent and rebellion into more benign and non-threatening directions.’” “The first member of the Grateful Dead to take LSD, Robert Hunter, did so under the auspices of a ‘government sponsored’ Stanford University drug study.” Michael Hollingshead, who has been linked to British Intelligence, also turned many English rock stars onto LSD. During this time, the CIA created radical student organizations that were run by undercover agents. Indeed, the CIA funded and controlled the National Student Association.
Perry Raymond Russo testified on March 16, 1967, before a New Orleans court. He said that he witnessed David Ferrie, Claw Shaw, and a man named Leon Oswald, plotting to kill John F. Kennedy. Ferrie stated that they would use a triangle cross-fire pattern. Ferrie remarked that one of the three shooters would be a scapegoat for the other two. “On Nov. 22, 1963, Permindex oversaw the successful assassination of U.S. President John F. Kennedy, as EIR has documented in its book Dope Inc.” Permindex was an undercover intelligence assassination bureau, a “network of protected killers whose actions have irreversibly shaped the course of history for the last two decades.” It appears that Permindex, the FBI, and the Defense Intelligence Agency collaborated to kill JFK. It looked to be very well orchestrated, with high level officials in the know. It sounds like JFK’s actions ticked off some very powerful people in Britain, thus his fate was sealed. The assassination seems to have been a joint British and American intelligence operation. Obviously, Lee Harvey Oswald was the patsy.
Trauma-based mind control is extremely effective. It can also be used on the general population. COVID-19 is a prime example: many were conditioned to except authoritarian measures. With some economic trauma, our world will soon accept digital biometric IDs, CBDCs, social credit scores, and universal basic income. From JFK to 9/11, to COVID-19 and onward, to where no man has gone before! So how was American society affected by the murder of JFK? The years following, the crime rate more than doubled. It obviously caused a demoralization of American society. Many people did not believe the official story. An American President was assassinated in public for all to see, yet the information about this heinous act was kept secret (classified). Really!?! “Its purpose was to shock the American consciousness into a near-comatose state for reprogramming.”
In one form of mind control, they will force the subject to repeatedly watch snuff films and other immoral acts. This is to desensitize them. The more desensitized a person becomes, the more immoral a person becomes. The more immoral a person becomes, the more jaded a person becomes. The more jaded a person becomes, the easier they are to manipulate and control. It’s easier to make an immoral person more corrupt. They half-blindly become complicit in the lusts of their own deceit. As the Bible states, they deceive others, while they themselves are being deceived. They have been executing a softer version of this on the public. The entertainment we have been fed has promoted nudity, sex, drugs, and violence. Indeed, society has become willfully ignorant and complicit. Today’s society has been desensitized to the point of accepting eugenics: birth control, abortion, and euthanasia. Today’s society has become so sexually immoral and hedonistic that many are okay with sexually grooming children in schools and libraries. Many in Gen Z have become nihilistic and apathetic, dropping out of life. Many in Gen Alpha can’t read and are addicted to doom scrolling. Society is being conditioned to be a bunch of zombies—blank slates.
Cognitive warfare is a hyper-personalized targeting of an individual, using information and cognitive techniques. It is aided by datamining, data analytics, and artificial intelligence. Cognitive attacks are used to sidestep the conscious mind, which is rational, and instead, they target the hidden emotions of the subconscious. “Psychology often suggests that only about 5–10% of the mind is conscious, while 90–95% operates at the subconscious level.” The goal is to target the subconscious mind, particularly the Amygdala. The Amygdala is part of the limbic system, which “acts as a central hub for sensory integration and emotional processing.” The Amygdala links emotions to memories, learning, and senses. Cognitive warfare is used to alter the perception of reality. It is used to deceive the brain, thus manipulating the decision-making processes. Social media can be used to weaken cognitive abilities. Its content can easily stir up emotions, causing people to react quickly. Social media can be used to datamine personal information. Smart devices can also be used to collect information such as blood pressure, heart rate, and hours of sleep. This information can then be used to target individuals at an opportune time. Like when they are tired or hungry, stressed or angry. Digital spaces create echo chambers, causing individuals to focus on certain narratives. This can create a hivemind effect, which results in polarization and distrust. The fast pace of social media, means there is less time to think. This tends to cause people to follow the narrative without question. They accept whatever seems to line up with their viewpoints or beliefs or their group. This creates lazy thinkers. People then start to delegate their thinking to “influencers,” experts, or artificial intelligence. Those with poor literacy or critical thinking skills are most susceptible. A fragmented society, which lacks social interaction, is also more susceptible to cognitive warfare.
Sirhan Sirhan, who killed Robert F. Kennedy, definitely looks like a CIA tool. If one puts together witness testimonies of Sirhan before the assassination, it becomes obvious that CIA agents were with Sirhan, and that they were running him through the assassination process. “Although the witness could not identify who was talking, she heard the words ‘Kennedy,’ and ‘Get in the car, we have to get him tonight,’ as well as ‘Don’t want to,’ and ‘Afraid.’” Sirhan was seen drawing out a map of the hotel—some kind of floor plan. Dr. Bernard Diamond, a psychiatrist who examined Sirhan under hypnosis, asked him about some weird entries in his notebook. Diamond asked him, “Is this crazy writing?” Sirhan wrote, “YES YES YES.” Diamond asked, “Are you crazy?” Sirhan replied, “NO NO.” Diamond reiterated, “Well, why are you writing crazy?” Sirhan answered back, “PRACTICE PRACTICE PRACTICE.” Diamond questioned him, “Practice for what?” Sirhan wrote, “MIND CONTROL MIND CONTROL MIND CONTROL.” Seven years after the assassination, a Psychological Stress Evaluator (PSE)—a device used to detect and measure stress levels through voice analysis—was used to analyze Sirhan’s voice during interviews that he had had with psychologists. An expert in the field said, “I’m convinced that Sirhan wasn’t aware of what he was doing. He was in a hypnotic trance when he pulled the trigger and killed Senator Kennedy... Everything in the PSE charts tells me that someone else was involved in the assassination—and that Sirhan was programmed through hypnosis to kill RFK. What we have here is a real live ‘Manchurian Candidate.’” Dr. John W. Heisse, Jr., president of the International Society of Stress Analysis, stated: “Sirhan kept repeating certain phrases. This clearly revealed he had been programmed to put himself into a trance. This is something he couldn’t have learned by himself. Someone had to show him and teach him how. I believe Sirhan was brainwashed under hypnosis by the constant repetition of words like ‘You are nobody. You’re nothing. The American dream is gone’ until he actually believed them. At that stage someone implanted an idea, ‘Kill RFK,’ and under hypnosis the brainwashed Sirhan accepted it.” Dr. Herbert Spiegel, a hypnotist, remarked, “It’s very possible to distort and change somebody’s mind through a number of hypnotic sessions. It can be described as brainwashing because the mind is cleared of its old emotions and values which are replaced by implanting other suggestions... This technique was probably used with Sirhan. From my own research, I think that Sirhan was subjected to hypnotic treatment.” “As in the case of Sirhan Sirhan, James Earl Ray, Lee Harvey Oswald, David Berkowitz and others, there would be no trial.”
It looks like James Earl Ray, who killed Martin Luther King Jr., was under mind control. David Berkowitz, the Son of Sam (Son of Uncle Sam?) killer, said, “I am on a different wave length than everybody else—programmed to kill.” Mark David Chapman, who killed John Lennon, looks like he may have been under mind control. Timothy McVeigh, who was involved in the Oklahoma City bombing, said that he had been implanted with a microchip and believed that he was under mind control. Many times in the past, when hypnosis and drugs were used for mind control, the person was given a secret microchip implant. Even with today’s Voice-to-Skull technology, some victims are also given a secret microchip implant. “It is likely that most of the mass shooting events are orchestrated by the CIA and FBI, using the techniques developed under the CIA’s MK-Ultra program.”
Remember Jim Jones and the Jonestown massacre? Jones established the first People’s Temple in Ukiah, California. Some of his top lieutenants were connected to intelligence agencies. While in Brazil, Jim Jones told his Brazilian neighbours that he was working with Navy Intelligence and that his house and food were supplied by the U.S. Embassy. Jones regularly visited the city of Belo Horizonte, where the headquarters of the CIA was located in Brazil. George Philip Blakey “is reported to have been a CIA operative and to have run mercenaries out of Jonestown, supplying forces to the CIA-backed UNITA in Angola. Blakey is reported to have made the original $650,000 deposit on the land in Guyana that was to become Jonestown.” The Unification Church of Reverend Sun Myung Moon also had ties to intelligence. It had 600 front groups. Reverend Moon also purchased the Washington Times.
The Finders group was another American intelligence cult-like group. The Washington City Paper reported that “the Finders constantly walk the streets, following people home and taking extensive notes and pictures.” Law enforcement raided their warehouse and found that the Finders where running an international child trafficking operation. They would respond to news paper ads for babysitters and tutors, so they could gather information. They also collected vast amounts of data on numerous child care organizations. In their warehouse, they had a place where they could produce videos. They were possibly producing pornography. They had a place in the warehouse that seemed to be a training area for children. This area also had jars of urine and feces and what appeared to be an altar.
During the cold war, the Russians and Americans were using low frequencies to bombard the ionosphere. This irradiation of the upper atmosphere is what most likely created the hole in the earth’s ozone layer. The Russians, with their Russian Woodpecker broadcasts, were the first to use this technology. The Americans, however, used frequencies less dangerous than the Russians. The Russians used 10 Hertz, while the Americans used 30 Hertz. This Nikola Tesla technology, which they were using, could also cause earthquakes and hurricanes; it could control the weather (even in space); it could also be used for mind control. The 1974 earthquake in Tangshan, China, was quite possibly caused by the Russians. The New York Times reported that before the first tremor the sky lit up like daylight. The sky became multi-hued—white and red. Tree leaves burned and vegetables scorched. This light was seen approximately 200 miles away. The American’s built HAARP, estimated to be 72,000 times more powerful than the next most powerful radio transmitter. “HAARP broadcasts at the same frequencies as those of the human brain.” HAARP was turned on at the time of the Lytton fire, which burned the town to the ground. During this time, Lytton recorded the highest temperature ever recorded in Canada. The next day, the wildfire started that burned down Lytton. Climate change? Lahaina fire? Drought, flooding, and fires? Directed Energy Weapons? Chemtrails? Agenda 21? Get the people off the land? New World Order agenda? Ultimate control?
The CIA and other intelligence agencies target individuals with Directed Energy Weapons and Voice-to-Skull technology. Voice-to-Skull technology is used to stimulate the Cochlear, which is part of the inner ear. This remotely projects sound into the ear using certain frequencies. The CIA tries to drive their victims crazy. They use verbal abuse to demoralize them. They use piercing frequencies, which cause immense mental anguish. There is no relief from these sounds, which also haunts the targets at night. They use sleep deprivation to break their victims down. They use frequencies that cause intense physical pain. They can fine-tune the torment, in order to make the suffering as unbearable as possible. Today’s technologies can remotely monitor brainwaves, alter brainwaves, alter behavior, project sound into the brain, project pictures into the brain, target organs in the body, and cause pain anywhere in the body. They can also alter DNA, and control bioelectric and biochemical processes. They tap into the victim’s subconscious, using their memories against them. They view a person’s thoughts in real time. They have better access to what is in the victim’s head than the victims themselves. The victims can converse with their antagonists merely by thinking of what they would like to say. They have no privacy; their inner thoughts and their inner dialogue are fully known. They know all that the person has experienced in life, even forgotten memories, because the perpetrators have total access to their brain. These psychopaths can strip them of all their energy, putting them into a zombie-like state. They can make their victims chronically depressed. And the list goes on and on and on! One’s own mind and body can be transformed into a torture chamber, where there is no escape. Microwaves can be used to make people insane. They can turn people into vegetables. They can even kill people.
These targeted individuals are tracked by satellites; there is no escape for them. The government uses GPS Block III satellites, which are manufactured by Lockheed Martin, to track and attack these individuals. Raytheon KTech, with its 2010 sales of $25 billion, and 72,000 employees worldwide, is working on the next generation of these microwave weapons. Raytheon is also upgrading the Operational Control System software for the ground station operators at Schriever Space Force Base. This system controls all of the GPS satellites that track and attack targeted individuals. AT&T is also being used to track and attack United States citizens. 5G anyone? Again, these satellite and cell tower weapons are controlled from Schriever Space Force Base near Colorado Springs.
What kind of mind control will be done under transhumanism, with its use of nanorobotics, nanosensors, genetic engineering, synthetic DNA, and brain-computer interfaces? These technologies will be capable of fully controlling perception, cognition, and actions. It will bring mind control to a whole other level. Mark of the Beast, baby! Eugenics: humans are expendable! Mind control: humans are expendable! Transhumanism: humanity is expendable! Mankind has crossed many lines that should not have been crossed. For this reason, there will be hell to pay. You reap what you sow! The Georgia Guidestones: Maintain humanity below 500 million in perpetual balance with nature.
According to the Bible, the three most foolish groups to walk the earth are these: 1) Those who mated with fallen angels and in turn were destroyed by the flood. 2) Those who take the Mark of the Beast and in turn are destroyed when Christ returns. 3) Those who follow satan at the end of the millennial reign of Christ and in turn are destroyed by fire. These groups get progressively dumber. In our day, we are seeing some of the most wicked and foolish people to ever walk the earth. “Professing to be wise, they became fools.” However, things will get much worse. In the Tribulation Period, the mind controlled zombies will worship the Beast and his AI Image! They will receive Brave New World soma frequencies to their brains.
Matthew 24:21-22 “For then there will be great distress, unequaled from the beginning of the world until now—and never to be equaled again. If those days had not been cut short, no one would survive, but for the sake of the elect those days will be shortened.”
What started out as a "Sunrise morning", quickly turned into an "is it even worth being here" morning, with extremely dense fog and constant rain... And then we had a brainwave... WATERFALLS!!
Did a lot of hiking today, causing tired legs and an ouchy little toe, but totally worth it.
The benefits of Tibetan singing bowl meditation
Increase the impact of yoga and meditation
Singing bowls are a lovely addition to your wellness practices. The sound vibrations can deepen meditation and yoga sessions by promoting relaxation and present-moment awareness. Studies show that the sound produced by singing bowls lessens tension, which make it easier to enter a meditative state.

We decided to treat ourselves to this day trip to Brighton for our 33rd anniversary, and wanted to do something a bit different. Our plan was to catch the Volks Railway train, which runs along the seafront to Brighton Marina. But we suddenly had a brainwave, to go up the new i360 tower, as it was such a lovely day! Before we'd had our lunch we headed down to book our slot, as I believe you have to book in advance. Each slot is half an hour apart, so we booked 1:30 to allow for lunch!
I decided to embrace the dark today and catch some light trails. I didn't fancy carrying my tripod so I had to capture freehand, after many failed attempts I had the brainwave of going the train station and using the bridge as support, this is the result.

Try as he might, Snake Eyes can do nothing to break the grip of the S.N.A.K.E.. While he initially sensed the presence of Night Creeper and Firefly, his senses were numbed. Dull. As the S.N.A.K.E. pulls him closer, an unnatural panic sets into Snake Eyes when it occurs to the ninja commando that the panic is not coming from his own fear, but seems to be coming from the robot itself! Firefly reads Snake Eyes' revelation and gloats!
Firefly: Go ahead and struggle, Snake Eyes! Lose yourself in the panic! Feel the fear perforate that stone cold heart of yours! Let it consume you! Neat little adjustment I made to this ancient battle armour, eh Snakes? A modification of ol' Doc Venom's Brainwave scanner! Doesn't even need cerebral terminals anymore Snake Eyes! It just... gets in to your head! Ha! That's it, struggle! Panic! There's nothing you can do! Your ass is mine!
The YWS-103 Huntress was built from a captured heavily damaged Vanguard, by the UE. The full inner frame and armor was modernized with nano-technology. It focuses on close quarter combat, to achive this it is armed with 2 high-frequency swords, 2 forearm mounted plasma sword, which double as plasma machine guns, 3 blade familiars designed as skirt armor and equipped with multiple powerful thrusters. For more precise movement and decresed reaction time the Huntress is equipped with a special man-machine interface called PNL (Pseudo Neuro-Link) System. The PNL System converts the pilot's brainwaves into data, while not as effectivle like the original DNL System, but it puts less stress on the user. This way the machine can be controlled by thoughts. The blade familiars are remote controlled weapons equipped with 2 high frequency blades on each side.
Weapons:
- 2 x High frequency sword

Today's story and sketch "by me", I was enjoying the morning with a great cup of Chock Full Of Nuts Coffee, and a French Cruller Moon Pie, listening to Lynyard Skynyrd's Free Bird CD, when I received a call from JB and Rescue Randy, with an urgent message to meet them at the Christmas Palm Park in dimension seven, and to bring a dimension transporter with enough seating to pick up ten stranded pedestrians. Not normal pedestrians but Santa Claus himself and a few of his Elves, and a Beaked Gnatdoobian part time Christmas delivery shuttle pilot. Who while on route to drop off a load of one thousand pink Flamingo Whirligig's in Key West Florida, the pilot made a major mental error while connected to the "CGS" cerebral guidance systems pilot lounge chair, he fell into a deep Gnatdoobian REM "recalled early memories" deep sleep, when the elves noticed the pilots rapid eye movements, and jerking body motion jumping out of the lounge doing an erotic calypso dance they realized they were in trouble, but were unavailable to wake Santa, who was along on the trip to do some fishing before the Christmas rush, but was himself asleep in the galley, they hit the "NPEA" north pole emergency alert button, Which sends a direct alert from anywhere in any universe or dimension to JB and Rescue Randy the most interesting living tissue crash test dummy in the Cosmos. He and JB are also the galaxies most reliable first responders. Seems the pilot was dreaming of his fun times as a youth visiting the Christmas Palm Park, his REM brainwaves directed the transporter to here where it crashed, Santa you may notice is holding a memory eraser wand, he is about to use it on his elves and pilot, in a few minutes they will have no memories of the crash or much of anything else, until next time taa ta the Rod Blog.
Another month when I have taken no photos of Taivas and without any brainwaves coming I have used an idea for her 12 months project that I have been planning for Tasku's one in 52 Weeks. This is shot through a small mirror prism. The mirrors only arrived today, are much smaller than expected (therefore not as effective) and I've had no time to practice after constructing the prism, this is literally one of the first few shots I tried.
Credit to Lindsay Adler for this idea from her Creative In-Camera Techniques video.
I find it difficult to question other folks judgement, as sometimes my own brainwaves may crash short of the beach, so I will inquire with polite sincerity....when you see Amber, be a doll and see the photo description. We all need to see others points of view, talk more openly about things that aren't always so easy to discuss. We don't know what we don't know, or how not knowing affects others. So Amber and I have put our thoughts out here on a few things, we're ready to listen to and learn from y'all, so we can all live as happier humans on our little planet.
I managed to grab a quick shot of this Starling before it flew off to feed its young. As it was a grab shot I accidentally underexposed it. The Nikon D750 has great potential to recover shadows so I was able to end up with a reasonable exposure but it was a pretty ordinary photo. Then I had a brainwave and decided to go the other way and increase the contrast to produce a silhouette which I think is a lot better. I really quite like this one as it's a wee bit bit different.

No, wait, not true: I'd also like to say that this is one of those rooms I built

I made a JALKOW collection, last year, in sort of homage to John's photostream and his JOHN Collection: the concurrent of the JOHN Collection. 'Not expensive, yet not cheap!'
So, big credits go to John and his trust.
This year, I had another brainwave, with lots of chairs and tables, so here it is: the JALKOW collection 2.
Fade away and radiate

The snow has been melting away and now the top layer is just ice.
In the garden earlier we noticed Roo's (Our Cat) paw prints and my fiancee had another brainwave, this time it was putting tea lights in the paw prints.
So we got that sorted and then I wen't about taking some pics, firstly with no flash which didn't turn out well, but with the flash in the distance shining on them it gave more of the end result I was looking for.
Not sure why they become more orange when the flash is used but a great effect I think.
Only PP was cropping and an added bit of definition.

I knew I wanted Cassie's maternity photos to be different, but I was stuck. I had zero clue what I wanted them to look like.
I knew what I didn't want them to look like; neither of us were interested in the classic black and whites on a bed with white sheets and soft focus. Unfortunately, that didn't seem to leave us a whole lot to work with.
For the longest time I had nothing. I couldn't wrap my head around what I wanted to do.
My breakthrough moment came, strangely enough, while watching Nine. I swear, never has a movie left me so creatively inspired. My massive musical-inspired brainwave was this:
Maternity photos are simply portraiture with a pregnant subject.
Once I got that embarrassingly obvious concept in my head, I started to extrapolate. How would I shoot Cassie if she wasn't pregnant? And could we make a simply allusion to her being pregnant, without that being the sole focus of the shot?
I feel like I got it.

Déja Vu vs DoYa View: Do You Experience Such Coincidental Alignments Of Random Things? - IMRAN®
Have you ever had one of those oddly timed coincidences that feels too precise to ignore? I experience a lot of those. Not the type of déjà vu brainwave—of having experienced that exact moment before and knowing exactly what would unfold in the next few seconds—but actual verifiable alignment of various unrelated things, despite total randomness.
This weekend, on October 10, 2025, I grabbed another handful of unread magazines from my piles of thousands that I’m working to browse and send to recycling at my Long Island home. Among them was a July 2018 issue of GQ, which I placed on my dining table in New York to browse during dinner and dispose of.
I’d owned it for over seven years but never flipped through it—mostly because I’d been spending so much time in Florida. An artist named Zayn Malik was on the cover.
The name Zain is of personal significance to me in another not-so-secret, precious part of my life. But I didn’t recognize Zayn. I’ve never followed One Direction and had no prior awareness of him in the band or as a solo artist. Still, something about his Pakistani heritage caught my attention, so I looked him up.
Here’s the weirdness: that same day—October 10, 2025—he released a new single. So the moment I finally engaged with a seven-year-old magazine cover featuring someone I’d never heard of, he happened to drop new music. It was so random that if it were in a movie, the audience would laugh at it as one of those “yeah, sure, like that type of coincidence happens in real life.”
No algorithm prompted me. No playlist suggested him. Just a perfectly timed sync between a forgotten magazine and a new release from someone I had literally just learned existed.
This Zayn “moment” wasn’t serendipity. I have no direct connection to him or even his music. But it was one more entry in a long list of strange, well-timed coincidences that seem to follow me. Do you have similar experiences and stories to share?

It's magic! Look! A floating briefcase! Hope you like the effect as much as I do.
The 'every-room-has-it's-own-colour' is not really working here. I hoped that brown would be eyecatching, but instead it looks a bit dull. Ah, who cares, that floating briefcase makes up for it, right?

I made a JALKOW collection, last year, in sort of homage to John's photostream and his JOHN Collection: the concurrent of the JOHN Collection. 'Not expensive, yet not cheap!'
So, big credits go to John and his trust.
This year, I had another brainwave, with lots of chairs and tables, so here it is: the JALKOW collection 2.
Left to Right: Nuklon, Northwind, Fury, Brainwave and Obsidian.

Funny story: a man and wife were behind me and she wanted to take a picture. he wouldn't let her and she referred to me and said - "she's doing it"!! and he said, "yeah - and she's probably not getting anything very good through that glass..." as the tiger moved and we all started to walk away, he turned to me and somewhat jerkingly said "did you get anything good?" ... i just showed him my pictures and kept my mouth shut. I thought she was going to shoot him right there on the spot!! ...as I smiled and walked on... HAA!! What a brainwave... =D
...I also have several more shots from around this park to process and edit... just haven't gotten to them yet. College projects to do... while keeping a job too... HA!! Crazy life I live.
