en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cardiff_Bay
Cardiff Bay (Welsh: Bae Caerdydd) is the area created by the Cardiff Barrage in South Cardiff, the capital of Wales. The regeneration of Cardiff Bay is now widely regarded as one of the most successful regeneration projects in the United Kingdom.[1] The Bay is supplied by two rivers (Taff and Ely) to form a 500-acre (2.0 km2) freshwater lake round the former dockland area south of the city centre. The Bay was formerly tidal, with access to the sea limited to a couple of hours each side of high water but now provides 24-hour access through three locks
History
Cardiff Bay played a major part in Cardiff’s development by being the means of exporting coal from the South Wales Valleys to the rest of the world, helping to power the industrial age. The coal mining industry helped fund the building of Cardiff into the Capital city of Wales and helped the Third Marquis of Bute, who owned the docks, become the richest man in the world at the time.
As Cardiff exports grew, so did its population; dockworkers and sailors from across the world settled in neighbourhoods close to the docks, known as Tiger Bay, and communities from up to 45 different nationalities, including Norwegian, Somali, Yemeni, Spanish, Italian, Caribbean and Irish helped create the unique multicultural character of the area.
After the Second World War most of the industry closed down and became derelict. But, in 1999, new life was injected into the area by the building of the Cardiff Bay Barrage, one of the most controversial building projects of the day but also one of the most successful.[3]
Development
The Cardiff Bay Development Corporation (CBDC) was created in 1987 to stimulate the redevelopment of 1,100 hectares (2,700 acres) of derelict land.[4] The Development Corporation aimed to attract private capital by spending public money to improve the area. Despite opposition by environmentalists and wildlife organisations, the mudflats at the mouths of the River Taff and River Ely were inundated, with loss of habitat for wading birds. The Barrage has created several new habitats for freshwater species with the wetlands to the south of the Hamadryad Park.
When the Development Corporation was wound up in on 31 March 2000, it had achieved many of its objectives. The whole area was unrecognisable from ten years before. Much private land was now open to the public, particularly around the inner harbour and the north side of Roath basin. Work is progressing to complete a 13 kilometre walkway around the Bay and the Barrage has created a world-class environment. In addition, the development has enabled land in the city centre to be redeveloped for higher-value uses.[5]
The development of "something like 1,250 apartments a year"[6] however might cause future problems. As at 2008 up to one third were not occupied. Critics such as Lorraine Barrett (AM Labour, Cardiff South and Penarth) say, the flat complexes will not help to build up a community and too little attention has been paid to develop affordable housing. With the recent falls in property values, sales in the area have become problematic. Therefore landlords might be more willing to rent their places out to "people who may not be suited to that type of living."[7]
Connecting the Bay area to the centre of Cardiff was a primary goal when plans to develop the docklands were first mooted. Original plans included a grand boulevard (similar to where Lloyd George Avenue is located now) with high density commercial and residential units straddling both sides. This would have created significant demand for quality public transport provisions facilitating connections to the new Bay area but public transport was often of poor quality and, but there are now much improved connections through the Cardiff Bus BayCar service and rail service from Cardiff Queen Street to Cardiff Bay railway station.
On 30 January 2013 the award-winning planning consultant, Adrian Jones, stated that Cardiff Bay was a contender for the "worst example of waterside regeneration in Britain". Specifically noting that the Empire Pool was replaced with a "trashy leisure complex" and that "It is not principally the buildings – poor as most are, sadly they represent the current British regeneration standard. No, it is the lack of any coherent urban structure, of real streets and worthwhile public spaces. In other words, it is the dumb plan." [8]
Notable buildings
St David's Hotel
The St David's Hotel and Spa is a 5-star luxury hotel with commanding views of the Bay and Penarth.[9] Built by Rocco Forte in 2000, the hotel was sold in 2007 to Principal-Haley hotels.

The Pierhead was built in 1897 and designed by William Frame, who studied under William Burges[10] It was formerly the headquarters of the Bute Dock Company.
The Senedd
The Senedd is the National Assembly for Wales building which includes the debating chamber and committee rooms.
Wales Millennium Centre
The Wales Millennium Centre is home to the Welsh National Opera.
Norwegian Church
The Norwegian Church Arts Centre, is a rescued historic wooden church that was rebuilt in 1992 and operates as a registered self funded not for profit charity. It is managed by Cardiff Harbour Authority and is as a venue for small concerts, art exhibitions, conferences, meetings and celebrations.[11] When living in Cardiff as a child, the famous children's author Roald Dahl attended this church.
Craft in the Bay
A refurbished Victorian dockside building houses Craft in the Bay, the home of the Makers Guild in Wales.
Techniquest
Techniquest is an educational science & discovery centre, which also includes a science theatre and planetarium.
Roald Dahl Plass
Roald Dahl Plass is a large open amphitheatre style plaza frequently used as a venue for carnivals and festivals all year round.

Appearances in the media
Roald Dahl Plass and the Wales Millennium Centre are often used in external shots of the Torchwood Hub in Doctor Who and Torchwood.
Cardiff Bay was used as the high-tech urban setting for the Doctor Who episode "Boom Town" and the show's spinoff, Torchwood, whose makers deliberately avoided stereotypical portrayals of Wales in order to portray Cardiff as the modern urban centre it is today. In Torchwood series, there is a giant secret base underneath the Bay, named "The Hub", from where the Torchwood team works. There is also a lift from the hub into the plaza with a perception filter making anyone who stands on the spot "not noticed".[13] Roald Dahl Plass features prominently. The Doctor Who episode "The Runaway Bride" made use of office buildings in Cardiff Bay.[14]
Transport
Cardiff Bay railway station is northeast of Mermaid Quay and is served by shuttle services to Cardiff Queen Street railway station. Cardiff Bus operates the following services to the Bay:
1 - Bay Circle clockwise: Grangetown-Leckwith-Canton-Fairwater-Llandaff-Gabalfa-Heath-Penylan-Roath-Tremorfa-Central Station
2 - Bay Circle anticlockwise: as above but reversed
6 - Baycar: Queen Street station via Central Station
8 - City Centre via Grangetown
11 - Pengam Green via Central Station and Tremorfa
35/36 - Gabalfa via Central Station, Cathays and Heath
The Bay lies off the A4232 before the Butetown tunnels and is linked to the city centre by Lloyd George Avenue and Bute Street.
The Pont y Werin pedestrian and cycle bridge opened in July 2010, completing a six and a half-mile circular route around Cardiff Bay and Penarth.
A cycle hire system, similar to those in other large cities, launched in September 2009, and includes 70 bikes and 35 hire points (initially 7) around the centre and the south of the city. The current stations are: Central Station; Cardiff Bay Station; County Hall; Cardiff Bay Visitors’ Centre; Churchill Way; City Hall and eastern Queen Street. It is necessary to register before using bike. The first half an hour is free after which a small hourly fee is payable.

We are headed for a global currency reset in which cash will be phased out and replaced with Central Bank Digital Currencies (CBDCs). The role of the US dollar as the world’s reserve currency will soon come to an end. It will be substituted with a multipolar system of reserve currencies that will be placed under the oversight of the International Monetary Fund. The IMF’s Special Drawing Rights (SDRs) will be expanded to support global trade and investment. This will reduce the dominance of any one country in the global financial system, providing greater stability to the global economy.
Such a system will only last for so long, because it’s a repackaged fiat currency scheme. This system is designed to crash, so that it can be further centralized. In the march towards a one world government (open borders and global citizens), all CBDCs will eventually be consolidated into a centralized One World Digital Currency. The quickest and easiest way to integrate the world’s populace into such a system will be through the introduction of a microchip ID system. Therefore, this new global currency system will be linked to a mandatory system-on-a-chip smart tattoo. A person’s information will be tied to their bio-compatible tattoo. They will be tracked in real time all the time. All their data will be analyzed by AI and stored on the cloud. As a security precaution, piezoelectric biometric nanomachine technology will monitor the inside of each person’s body; this will protect their biometric information from unauthorized access from ever-evolving cyber-based vulnerabilities.
The Bible warns that a day is coming when no one will be able to buy or sell without a mark (stamp of servitude) on their hand or forehead. 666: only transhumans will be allowed to participate in the Beast system. Indeed, the future comes in small packages.

Aristotle said that tyrants “endeavour by every means possible to keep all the people strangers to each other.” Totalitarianism creates fragmented groups of isolated individuals. The people under such movements suffer a lack of normal social relationships. When isolation becomes commonplace in a society, the ground is fertile for totalitarianism. Therefore, isolation and loneliness in a society are precursors to totalitarianism. Tyrannical governments create isolated citizens. Terror works best against people who are isolated from each other. If people are afraid to speak to one another, they are more easily controlled. Indeed, “isolated men are powerless by definition.” Recent studies tell us that society is becoming increasingly isolated, lonely, and depressed.
“Millennials, Generation Z: Connected with thousands of friends—but feeling all alone” – USA TODAY
The more people are cut off from the world, the more they are cut off from reality. When they are cut off from reality, they are more easily manipulated and indoctrinated. The structures of the Nazis and Soviets were very cult-like. These structures created brainwashed conformists. Today socialist ideologies are still brainwashing people. Philosopher Nicolai Berdyaev stated that “Russian revolutionaries... had always been totalitarian,” and, “the revolution was a religion and a philosophy.” In the Doctrine of Fascism, Mussolini referred to Fascism as a religious concept. So why do we let schools teach our children neo-Marxist cult doctrines, such as Gender Theory and Critical Race Theory? The revolutionaries who follow these cult doctrines want to bring in totalitarianism. They want to usher in a communist revolution that will destroy democracy and free-market capitalism.
“Give me just one generation of youth, and I’ll transform the whole world.” – Lenin
The corporate-owned politicians and media act like patriotism is bad. (Patriotism is the glue that holds the people of a sovereign nation together). There is a big difference between patriotism and Hitler’s Germany. The National Socialist German Workers’ Party was a political party of “National Socialism.” Patriotism and National Socialism are two different things. The corporate entities listed above like to cry out: nationalism! Sorry, but nationalism and National Socialism are two different things. One is authoritarian and one is not. Trying to stretch the word nationalism into National Socialism is completely dishonest. Fascism is a form of socialism, and communism is a form of socialism. They are kissing cousins! One form revolves around race: the Aryan race vs supposed inferior races. The other revolves around class: the proletariat vs the bourgeoisie. On the far-right of the socialist spectrum is fascism. On the far-left of the socialist spectrum is communism. Socialism promotes centralized government, but democracy promotes decentralized government. Socialism promotes collectivism, but democracy promotes individualism. Socialism equals totalitarianism, and democracy equals freedom. Who would have thought: Big Brother government equals totalitarianism? And guess what? The fascists and communists hated one another, because they were both vying for power! They were archenemies. Nowadays the commies like to call all their enemies fascists. So they call conservatives far-right Nazis and white supremacists. Speaking of fascists! The globalists—with their neo-fascist stakeholder- capitalist (stakeholder-socialist) system, which they are working towards implementing—hate patriotism and want open borders and mass migration.
A tyrant also should rather admit strangers to his table and familiarity than citizens, as these are his enemies, but the others have no design against him.” – Aristotle
“For of all the states which appear well governed we find not one where the rights of a citizen are open to an indiscriminate multitude.” – Aristotle
The globalists want to overthrow Western democracy and free-market capitalism—degrowth. So they attack our heritage and culture by labeling them racist. The woke communists call our capitalist system systemically racist. They use their cult dialectic of oppressed vs oppressor as a battering ram to break apart our system. The funny thing about these new woke commies is that they are turning towards fascism (race socialism) like the Nazis did in Germany—can anyone say “Critical Race Theory!?!” The United Nations’ public–private partnership system is also a form of neo-fascism. “Fascism should rightly be called Corporatism, as it is the merger of corporate and government power.” These public–private partnerships involve governments, banks, multinational corporations (corporate fascists), and non-governmental organizations. Their Great Reset (Build Back Better) is an implementation of their New World Order system—the Sustainable Development Goals of the United Nations; Agenda 21; Agenda 2030—a neo-fascist system.
“The imperative of global governance, in particular, is irrefutable.” – United Nations
Our governments in the West have designed interventionist policies, which supposedly improve our ‘free-market’ capitalist system. There is no doubt that this interventionism will end in disaster, chaos and social unrest—the destruction of our current system. “Anti-capitalistic policies sabotage the operation of the capitalist free-market economy.” In the end their measures produce worse results, and in order to fix these results they add more anti-capitalist regulations. Their interventionism is slowly bringing about full-blown socialism. One step at a time they interfere with the economy, with the intent of one day controlling all economic activities. We will eventually end up with a controlled economy like they had in Nazi Germany. Then our economic freedom will be gone. Democracy goes hand in hand with capitalism. In the end, socialism cannot operate according to democratic or capitalist principles. They are like oil and water—they do not mix. So in the end our system will become a socialist system.
“According as circumstances are favourable, one should modify one’s plans.” – The Art of War
Our capitalist system is headed for a crash. A totalitarian system will replace it. This new system will revolve around digital surveillance. It will entail digital IDs, Central Bank Digital Currencies (CBDCs), Social Credit Scores, and Universal Basic Income (social(ist) welfare). They want to put the population in 15-minute cities, because totalitarian systems don’t like freedom of movement. They don’t like freedom of speech either. How about freedom? Do they like freedom?
“The presently popular liberal notion of a World Government is based, like all liberal notions of political power, on the same concept of individuals submitting to a central authority which ‘overawes them all,’ except that nations are now taking the place of individuals. The World Government is to overcome and eliminate authentic politics, that is, different peoples getting along with each other in the full force of their power.” – Hannah Arendt
Plato had his weird Platonic collectivist and Platonic proto-communist ideas. He called his ideal city-state Kallipolis—Beautiful City—in Latin. Kallipolis has occasionally been depicted in art as the Tower of Babel. These globalists are building their own global Chinese-style commu-fascist Tower of Babel—communist in governance, fascist in economics. Every socialist government has an authoritarian leader like Hitler, Stalin or Mao. This new antichrist government will also have its own antichrist. This charismatic leader (philosopher king) will introduce a globally centralized digital currency system. To participate in this system, you will have to take his digital smart-tattoo. You will have to join his cult and worship him. If you do not take his Mark and worship him, you will be an enemy of the state. You will then be exterminated. Welcome to Digital Babylon! Take the Soma-Vaccine, take the Chip-Mark! But beware: transhumanism will only cause you more isolation and loneliness. What fulfilling lives you will live, sheltered in the technological surveillance bubble of the Beast’s psychological warfare, which will control your minds and souls in the digital era of the all-seeing eye of singularity—the Fourth Industrial Revolution (the Fourth Reich). MK-ULTRA gone nuclear!
“All warfare is based on deception.” – The Art of War
A society of isolation and loneliness will produce decadence and nihilism. Decadence and nihilism yesterday: the Jews are parasites. Decadence and nihilism today: babies in the womb are parasites. Decadence and nihilism in the future: those who refuse the Mark of the Beast are parasites. The victims will no longer be human in the eyes of the antichrist-state and its executioners.
Habakkuk 1:5 “Look among the nations and see; be astonished and astounded. For a work is about to be done in your days that you will not believe if it is told.”

When the Development Corporation was wound up in on 31 March 2000, it had achieved many of its objectives. The whole area was unrecognisable from ten years before. Much private land was now open to the public, particularly around the inner harbour and the north side of Roath basin. Work is progressing to complete a 13 kilometre walkway around the Bay and the Barrage has created a world-class environment. In addition, the development has enabled land in the city centre to be redeveloped for higher-value uses.[5]
The development of "something like 1,250 apartments a year"[6] however might cause future problems. As at 2008 up to one third were not occupied. Critics such as Lorraine Barrett (AM Labour, Cardiff South and Penarth) say, the flat complexes will not help to build up a community and too little attention has been paid to develop affordable housing. With the recent falls in property values, sales in the area have become problematic. Therefore landlords might be more willing to rent their places out to "people who may not be suited to that type of living."[7]
Connecting the Bay area to the centre of Cardiff was a primary goal when plans to develop the docklands were first mooted. Original plans included a grand boulevard (similar to where Lloyd George Avenue is located now) with high density commercial and residential units straddling both sides. This would have created significant demand for quality public transport provisions facilitating connections to the new Bay area but public transport was often of poor quality and, but there are now much improved connections through the Cardiff Bus BayCar service and rail service from Cardiff Queen Street to Cardiff Bay railway station.
On 30 January 2013 the award-winning planning consultant, Adrian Jones, stated that Cardiff Bay was a contender for the "worst example of waterside regeneration in Britain". Specifically noting that the Empire Pool was replaced with a "trashy leisure complex" and that "It is not principally the buildings – poor as most are, sadly they represent the current British regeneration standard. No, it is the lack of any coherent urban structure, of real streets and worthwhile public spaces. In other words, it is the dumb plan." [8]

Appearances in the media
Roald Dahl Plass and the Wales Millennium Centre are often used in external shots of the Torchwood Hub in Doctor Who and Torchwood.
Cardiff Bay was used as the high-tech urban setting for the Doctor Who episode "Boom Town" and the show's spinoff, Torchwood, whose makers deliberately avoided stereotypical portrayals of Wales in order to portray Cardiff as the modern urban centre it is today. In Torchwood series, there is a giant secret base underneath the Bay, named "The Hub", from where the Torchwood team works. There is also a lift from the hub into the plaza with a perception filter making anyone who stands on the spot "not noticed".[13] Roald Dahl Plass features prominently. The Doctor Who episode "The Runaway Bride" made use of office buildings in Cardiff Bay.[14]
Transport
Cardiff Bay railway station is northeast of Mermaid Quay and is served by shuttle services to Cardiff Queen Street railway station. Cardiff Bus operates the following services to the Bay:
1 - Bay Circle clockwise: Grangetown-Leckwith-Canton-Fairwater-Llandaff-Gabalfa-Heath-Penylan-Roath-Tremorfa-Central Station
2 - Bay Circle anticlockwise: as above but reversed
6 - Baycar: Queen Street station via Central Station
8 - City Centre via Grangetown
11 - Pengam Green via Central Station and Tremorfa
35/36 - Gabalfa via Central Station, Cathays and Heath
The Bay lies off the A4232 before the Butetown tunnels and is linked to the city centre by Lloyd George Avenue and Bute Street.
The Pont y Werin pedestrian and cycle bridge opened in July 2010, completing a six and a half-mile circular route around Cardiff Bay and Penarth.
A cycle hire system, similar to those in other large cities, launched in September 2009, and includes 70 bikes and 35 hire points (initially 7) around the centre and the south of the city. The current stations are: Central Station; Cardiff Bay Station; County Hall; Cardiff Bay Visitors’ Centre; Churchill Way; City Hall and eastern Queen Street. It is necessary to register before using bike. The first half an hour is free after which a small hourly fee is payable.

The family BIS: The Bank for International Settlements is working with various other crime syndicates (central banks) to build digital financial networks and platforms along with technological tools to support a new era of international monetary cooperation in the digital money ecosystem.
I’m gonna make you a deal you can’t refuse. It’s not personal, it’s strictly business. The banker with the briefcase can steal more money than the man with a gun.
The future is a tokenized world. The tokenization of real-world assets (RWAs) will enable the buying and selling of digital assets through blockchain technology. Blockchain is a digital ledger, a digital list of records, a digital database that records financial transactions in a business network. Most payment systems are designed for domestic use; therefore, Central Bank Digital Currencies (CBDCs) must be interlinked to a shared global platform. Distributed Ledger Technology (DLT) must be combined with Fast Payment Systems (FPS) in order to calculate various exchange rates for real-time cross-border transactions. CBDCs will then be transferred via digital bridges between domestic platforms and transnational networks. This transnational blockchain network will act like an interbank foreign exchange.
There are two main forms of CBDCs: retail CBDCs and wholesale CBDCs. Retail CBDCs are used by the general public and wholesale CBDCs are used by the banking industry. Principles for Financial Market Infrastructures (PFMIs) will be the international standard for this distributed ledger wholesale interbank financial market infrastructure payment settlement system. Indeed, collaboration between global partners will push the boundaries of central bank innovation and efficiency.
“Give me control of a nation’s money and I care not who makes its laws.” The banking mafia will extort your money and assets. You’ll own nothing and be happy. You’ll be controlled by a Social Credit Score system. You’ll be given an allowance: Universal Basic Income (universal welfare/socialism). The mob will control you.
The Godfather will eventually consolidate the family business, creating a One World Digital Currency (OWDC) called the MARK. The Godfather’s symbol will be a number, and his number will be 666.
2 Thessalonians 2:3-4 “Don’t let anyone deceive you in any way, for that day will not come until the rebellion occurs and the man of lawlessness is revealed, the man doomed to destruction. He will oppose and will exalt himself over everything that is called God or is worshiped, so that he sets himself up in God’s temple, proclaiming himself to be God.”
(Reuters) – “The first human patient implanted with a brain-chip from Neuralink appears to have fully recovered and is able to control a computer mouse using their thoughts, the startup’s founder Elon Musk said late on Monday.” (One day they’ll be able to do this on an industrial scale: The Fourth Industrial Revolution).

Cardiff bay, Mermaid Quays is a fantastic place to visit day or night. Mermaid Quay provides the perfect focal point from which to plan a day out exploring the rich heritage and wide range of fun activities of Cardiff’s vibrant waterfront.
Mermaid Quay is set in a stunning waterfront location in the heart of Cardiff Bay, less than a kilometre from the city centre.
It is the perfect place for dining out or relaxing over a drink in one of the restaurants, bars and cafés. With cuisine from around the world - from Welsh ice cream to Turkish cuisine, American burgers to Italian stone-baked pizza - Mermaid Quay has somewhere that caters for all tastes and moods. Alternatively, why not have a laugh at The Glee Club Cardiff's first and finest comedy venue?
Mermaid Quay also has a host of sophisticated shops, where you'll find everything from a complete make-over, designer glasses, stunning accessories, fabulous fashions, funky interiors and great gifts. Steeped in history, Mermaid Quay's distinctive architecture is inspired by its maritime location and rich heritage - featuring decking, towers, balconies, terraces, colonnades and bridges.
Bit of History:
The industrial revolution saw a major expansion in Cardiff docks with the area, known in the nineteenth century as Tiger Bay, playing a major role in the export of coal. Mines in the Welsh valleys produced coal that was shipped to the rest of the world and by 1913 10,700,000 tons of coal were passing through the Bay every year.
As with most docks, Tiger Bay became a multi-cultural melting pot where migrants from Norway, Spain, the Caribbean and Ireland mingled and formed communities. Roald Dahl, whose parents were Norwegian, was christened in the Norwegian Church, which now serves as an Arts Centre. The dock’s multicultural legacy was the inspiration behind John Clinch's 'People Like Us' at Mermaid Quay.
However, after the Second World War there was a decline in coal based industry and the docks closed down, with coal exports ceasing in the 1960s. By 1987 the area had become run-down and the Cardiff Bay Development Corporation (CBDC) was set up to redevelop the area.
In order to rejuvenate the formerly tidal Bay, the CBDC created Europe's largest waterfront development by building a barrage across the entrance to form a picturesque 500-acre freshwater lake, completed in 1999. Following concerns from environmental groups, the developers of the Bay were keen to preserve wetland areas used by the large numbers of wading birds in the area, and therefore oversaw the creation of a new nature reserve further down the Severn Estuary (www.mermaidquay.co.uk/about-us#tab_history)
Since cash is obsolete, we must reduce its carbon footprint! We must transition to a green economy! The dialectic tears down and recycles. It’s currently tearing down capitalism and recycling it into stakeholder capitalism (stakeholder [public–private partnership] fascism). There’s a blitzkrieg coming!
(IMF) International Monetary Fascism: Careful decisions must also ensure that new forms of digital money are environmentally sustainable—that the energy they require is kept in check. The path to digital money adoption must be guided by a clear and responsible vision of tomorrow’s broader payment, financial, economic, and environmental landscape.
(UN) United Nazis: Through the adoption of the 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development and the Paris Agreement on Climate Change, world leaders have given humanity a universal plan to transform our world for the better. Our task is to stay true to these agreements and take action on their implementation.
(WEF) World Economic Fascism: You’ll own nothing. And you’ll be happy.
Russia agrees to chair BRICS in 2024. BRICS represents 45% of the world’s population. BRICS produces 43% of the world’s oil. BRICS countries occupy 29% of the world’s land surface. 30 countries are prepared to Join BRICS in 2024. In 2023 about 20% of oil was bought with currencies other than the US dollar. America: Who cares about oil, we’re going green (broke). Chip…chip…chip away…the US dollar can only hold its position as the world’s reserve currency for so long.
130 countries are exploring CBDCs. These countries produce 98% of the world’s GDP. 64 of these countries are in the advanced stages of developing CBDCs. The United Arab Emirates and China have already made a cross-border payment using the Digital Dirham.
Roll in the Central Bank Digital Currencies! Roll in the deposit tokens! Good-bye cash! Good-bye freedom! See-ya later, Bitcoin! We will kill the middle class. We will kill small businesses. We will build back better with corrupt governments, intelligence agencies, multinational corporations, and centralized banking. As for the European farmer protests: Centralized corporate farms are the way of the future, so is starvation…eat ze bugz! Indeed, we will bankrupt everyone into authoritarianism. One day you will wake up in a fascist world order, where you will be enslaved by the state and corporate powers. We call it friendly fascism…fascism with a smile:)
Big Brother and AI will shape your reality. We will issue an internet ID. We will establish a United Nations regulatory body to oversee AI and the internet. End encryption! End privacy! We can’t have free speech in the new authoritarian world order.
Sidenote: Elon Musk bought X, so that he can data mine its users for his new artificial intelligence company xAI. But who cares about data mining if I can talk to Grok, Elon’s AI chat bot. Digital wokeness: We must understand reality through false reality. Ouch, that hurt my brain-computer interface! Indeed, Elon Musk is a grifter.
These Central Bank Digital Currencies will only be temporary. They will be further centralized into a one world currency. With the breakthrough of on-skin and under-skin computing technology, we will now tie a person’s digital ID and digital wallet to an AI-chip tattoo. Without this new on-skin and under-skin transhuman surveillance chip, you will not be able to be a part of this new one world monetary system. This microchip system will be implanted in the hand or the forehead of every human…changing their being.
Join the techno-evolution and become a part of the new Aryan techno-race. Join the techno-revolution and become a part of the new techno-transhuman race. Join the digital woke cult: You are trapped in the wrong body; therefore, you must become a born again transhuman. Then you must go out and preach the gospel of the Fourth Industrial Revolution: Diversity, equity, inclusion, and sustainability. Like a hoe, you can ride the seven-headed beast of linguistics (false doctrines) until your language is turned to Babel. Thank God, the Fourth Reich will not prevail!
Daniel 7:23 “He gave me this explanation: ‘The fourth beast is a fourth kingdom that will appear on earth. It will be different from all the other kingdoms and will devour the whole earth, trampling it down and crushing it.’”
Daniel 12:10 “Many will be purified, made spotless and refined, but the wicked will continue to be wicked. None of the wicked will understand, but those who are wise will understand.”
“The Bank of Canada is wading into the fraught and controversial world of digital currencies, launching public consultations this week into how Canadians might use a digital dollar.”
Is the same thing being talked about in your country? Where do you think this will all lead?
Revelation 13:18 “This calls for wisdom. Let the person who has insight….”

“Leave no one behind!” Let’s build a one-world governmental system. Let’s build the Matrix—the Beast System. Everyone will be digitally connected to the spinner’s WEB, can you feel the venom? Everyone will have a digital ID. Everyone will be controlled by a social credit score system. CBDCs: digital currencies, digital thin air. Everyone will receive a free welfare check. Everyone will be a global citizen of the new world order. Hey, we’re already halfway there! All hail the United Nations! All hail Caesar!
The Book of Daniel prophesied the rise and fall of previous world empires, and those prophecies came true. They rose, they fell. The Book of Daniel also prophesies about a future empire (Beast). This empire will be ruled by a Beast called the Antichrist (666). Shocker: the kingdom of the Beast will be ruled by a Beast. The Book of Revelation prophesies that no one will be able to buy or sell without the Mark of the Beast. Microchip biometric tattoo anyone!?! Take the Mark, be reborn (recreated) in the Image of the Beast, and become a trans-human (666).
While cleaning out my bookmarks, I found a dozen articles from the United Nations. I threw them together, and 98% of what’s written below is quoted verbatim. Sustainable development: building the foundation of the new world order one piece at a time. If you care to take a glimpse, if you dare:
By 2030 a new kind of capitalism (stakeholder capitalism/neo-fascism) will take root. A new economy will be established that will address the needs of all stakeholders (banks, corporations, billionaires, and governments). This new breed of new capitalism will be enabled thanks to a new way of assessing the performance of companies based on a valuation of their overall impact (social credit score system). Indeed, this new way of assessing business performance will be based on standardized, comprehensive and simple impact-valuation metrics. These enhance the usual financial statements with other dimensions like society, human rights and the environment, leading to a ‘total impact’ rating that is used by management and investors alike. ‘Total impact’ is a simple way of assessing how much a sector or a business contributes to social coherence, citizens’ wellbeing, environmental protection and the UN Sustainable Development Goals. Impact valuation expresses what matters in monetary terms, allowing the full range of stakeholders to agree what ‘good’ looks like—in the economy and in society. Governments, stock markets and businesses will fully embrace the new order that has given rise to a thriving new type of public-private partnership (neo-fascism). We will transition to a more eco-friendly economic system that requires collective action by multiple stakeholders across borders.
The new model of circular (dialectic [problem, reaction, solution] uroboros) economy is meant to allow the planet to breathe, while leaving no one behind. A Circular Economy (CE) is an economic model that focuses on the 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development. By decoupling economic growth from resource use, setting global standards in product sustainability, keeping resource use within planetary boundaries and promoting the re-use of materials, a circular economy may be the only sustainable economic model for the future. The global financial sector plays a pivotal role in scaling up finance for pollution-free and circular solutions, by funding innovative businesses that prioritize circular design, resource efficiency and waste reduction. Financial institutions can also leverage their influence to drive policy changes and industry standards that favour circularity. It is evident that ‘business as usual’ will not help us to achieve the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). Systems-based approaches along with a strong commitment to deep rooted transformations and actions are vital to the reduction of humanity’s footprint in our planet. Our resources are finite and the principles and practices of the circular economy will be catalytic in creating goods, processes and ecosystems that are restorative and regenerative by design. An Inclusive Green Economy (IGE) is a pathway towards achieving the 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development. In its simplest expression, such an economy is low carbon, efficient and clean in production, but also inclusive in consumption and outcomes, based on sharing, circularity, collaboration, solidarity, resilience, opportunity, and interdependence. (A circular [green/sustainable] economy is an economy of degrowth.)
With more and more governments exploring the potential of CBDCs, there is a greater need to engage with various aspects of this emerging topic, including design, especially given its potential to foster financial inclusion. The United Nations Development Program (UNDP) has a long history of promoting technological and digital financial innovations that help advance financial inclusion and the SDGs more broadly. Its teams have worked with various countries on digital finance and infrastructure innovations, enabling underserved business segments, such as MSMEs (micro, small and medium enterprises), to access more sophisticated financial services or on enabling micro-savers to become micro-investors in green infrastructure projects, or on harnessing the developments in Distributed Ledger Technologies to advance innovative financial instruments for private capital mobilization for nature. Given UNDP’s expertise and leadership in this space, UNDP’s involvement in this discussion will help better support member states as they navigate this changing landscape. Partnership (public-private partnership) is at the heart of everything UNDP does. We offer a nearly universal presence across the world. We are determined to mobilize the means to implement the 2030 Agenda through a revitalized Global Partnership for Sustainable Development, with a focus on the poorest and most vulnerable. We support countries and communities as they work to eradicate poverty, implement the Paris Agreement on climate change and achieve the Sustainable Development Goals.
The importance of legal identity is an integral part of Agenda 2030 and the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). SDG Target 16.9, which aims to ‘provide legal identity for all, including birth registration,’ underscores the widespread significance of civil registration in societies globally. Acknowledging the developing potential and significance of digital legal ID, the United Nations Development Program (UNDP) has taken the initiative to draft a model governance framework. This blueprint is designed to aid the swift establishment of digital legal ID systems globally. At its core, this framework is intended to outline a normative model of the laws, policies and institutional arrangements that can help ensure the governance of digital legal ID systems is inclusive. It is informed by UNDP’s governance and digital strategies, which emphasize a rights-based and whole-of-society approach. The framework, for instance, recognizes the importance of civil society’s role in accountability, recourse and oversight. It also builds on long-standing experience and lessons from within the UN System on legal identity and the whole legal identity management ecosystem, which is based on civil registration. It is a critical enabler of digital transformation and is helping to accelerate the Sustainable Development Goals. Governments, donors, the private sector and civil society alike have an opportunity to shape it. This campaign is in collaboration with the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation, Centre for Digital Public Infrastructure, Co-Develop, the Digital Public Goods Alliance, and the United Nations Development Program (UNDP) and is supported by GovStack, the Inter-American Development Bank, and UNICEF. This ambitious campaign heralds a new chapter in the global momentum around digital public infrastructure (DPI)—an underlying network of components such as digital payments, ID, and data exchange systems, which is a critical accelerator of the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs).
Following the G20 Leaders Declaration in 2023, Digital Public Infrastructure is a key breakthrough that gives the momentum needed to change course and achieve the Sustainable Development Goals by 2030, across all 17 Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). Accelerating progress toward the SDGs requires inclusive digital transformation. Digital Public Infrastructure (DPI) can maximize the opportunities for digitalization to support the SDGs and reduce the risks that digital technologies may bring. DPI is safe, accessible, affordable, green, financed, and future ready. In partnership with the UN Secretary-General’s Envoy on Technology and under the leadership of the UN Secretary-General, the Universal Safeguards initiative which also includes the 2030 Safeguards Action Hub will be launched at the 78th UNGA, leading into the Summit of the Future in 2024 and beyond. This campaign seeks to strengthen DPI partnerships (public-private partnerships) with the private sector and community-based organizations across 100 countries to integrate intermediaries into local digital ecosystems and facilitate greater scale services for inclusion, especially for women, as well as strengthen efforts to ensure universal digital connectivity.
The digital divide is further exacerbating these challenges—for example, 2.6 billion people, or around one-third of the world’s population, still lack internet access. But this is not just about access. The ‘usage gap’, the population living within the footprint of mobile internet coverage but not using this potentially game-changing connectivity, is now eight times larger than the total number of those without coverage. Limited digital skills, unaffordable data and devices, concerns of safety and security, and a lack of relevant content and services hinder people from participating in our increasingly digital societies and economies.
A new social contract needs to emerge that rebalances deep inequalities that are prevalent across societies. We must implement (universal socialism) Universal Basic Income (UBI). The alternative to not having UBI is the rising likelihood of social unrest, conflict, unmanageable mass migration, and the proliferation of extremist groups that capitalize and ferment on social disappointment. It is against this background that we seriously need to consider implementing a well-designed UBI, so shocks may hit, but they won’t destroy. Moving to such a system would need to ensure that the incentives to have a job remain intact. That is relatively simple to do: A UBI should be sufficient, to sustain a person at a modest minimum, leaving sufficient incentives to work, save, and invest. Lest the naysayers think this is a theory from the left, the idea of tax competition has been touched upon, for years on end, by the Organization of Economic Co-operation and Development.
Today, more people than ever live in a country other than the one in which they were born. For statistical purposes, the United Nations defines an international migrant as any person who has changed his or her country of residence. This includes all migrants, regardless of their legal status, or the nature, or motive of their movement. The 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development recognizes the positive contribution of migrants to inclusive growth and sustainable development. The Agenda’s core principle is to ‘leave no one behind,’ which includes migrants. Many of the Agenda’s Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) contain targets and indicators which are relevant to migrants or migration. SDG target 10.7 calls on countries to ‘facilitate orderly, safe, regular and responsible migration and mobility of people, including through the implementation of planned and well-managed migration policies.’ Under the United Nations Charter and the Universal Declaration of Human Rights, refugees and migrants have the same universal human rights and fundamental freedoms. It acknowledges the positive contribution of migrants to sustainable and inclusive development, and commits to protecting the safety, dignity and human rights and fundamental freedoms of all migrants, regardless of their migratory status.
Global citizenship is the umbrella term for social, political, environmental, and economic actions of globally minded individuals and communities on a worldwide scale. The term can refer to the belief that individuals are members of multiple, diverse, local and non-local networks rather than single actors affecting isolated societies. Promoting global citizenship in sustainable development will allow individuals to embrace their social(ist) responsibility to act for the benefit of all societies (collectivism), not just their own. The concept of global citizenship is embedded in the Sustainable Development Goals though SDG 4: Insuring Inclusive and Quality Education for All and Promote Life Long Learning, which includes global citizenship as one of its targets. By 2030, the international community has agreed to ensure that all learners acquire the knowledge and skills needed to promote sustainable development, including global citizenship. Universities have a responsibility to promote global citizenship by teaching their students that they are members of a large global community and can use their skills and education to contribute to that community.
Job 15:31 “If they are foolish enough to trust in evil, then evil will be their reward.”
Proverbs 1:32 “For the waywardness of the simple will kill them, and the complacency of fools will destroy them.”
Romans 6:23 “For the wages of sin is death, but the gift of God is eternal life in Christ Jesus our Lord.”
1 John 5:12 “Whoever has the Son has life; whoever does not have the Son of God does not have life.”
Now, an advertisement from the United Nations: Disinformation can be dangerous. With the advance of technology, digital media is increasingly being used to spread misinformation. The UN has been monitoring how mis- and disinformation and hate speech can attack health, security, stability as well as progress towards the Sustainable Development Goals. (Those who control information, control society. Those who manipulate information, manipulate society. Those who control the narrative, control the masses.)
They are slowly implementing the new world order one sustainable development goal at a time.

The KOM League
Flash Report
August 3, 2021
After hours and hours of contemplating attempting to write another report the result is available at: www.flickr.com/photos/60428361@N07/51355466713 Try to read it. If it isn’t possible return the unused/unread portion for a complete refund.
It has been nearly two months since an attempt has been made to formulate, let alone transmit a Flash Report. A lot of time has been afforded the old batboy to sit and look at his I-pad and work the Intermet looking for clues of former KOM league who were; found, never located and deceased. That is basis for this effort.
Leading off is the first obituary that has ever been shared in Spanish. The reason its not in English is due to my lack of bilinguality. The deceased is Ernie Garcia who I saw play at the Carthage ballpark, in 1951. He was the shortstop for Ted Gullic’s Bartlesville Pirates. He formed a good doubleplay combination with the late E. C. Leslie of Kansas City, Missouri who spent his adult life coaching/teaching high school in Lubbock, Texas.
Following the Ernie Garcia obituary are tributes to Richard Pertzborn of the 1947 Independence Yankees , Ray Haley of that same franchise in 1948, Ernest Jordan Jr—1950 Ponca City Dodgers, Carroll Ethan Bryan and Edward Humphrey Hughes Jr.—1952 Blackwell Broncos, Merlin Leo Jorgensen—1951 Bartlesville Pirates and 1952 Pittsburg/Bartlesville Pirates, Robert Wesley James—1951 Pittsburg Browns and another shot of identifying a member of the 1950 Bartlesville Pirates who was either James Parker Williams or James Park Williams.
So, sit back and relax, This is going to be a very long report. Feel free to hit the delete key at anytime. However, before doing so you might consider saving it for future reading as there isn’t a promise of future reports. That is being said due to the fact that it isn’t possible to document there are more than 136 former KOM leaguers currently emitting carbon dioxide.
There are possibly another 25 former KOM leaguers still on this earthly plane but either the inability to locate them, on my part, or their ignoring letters, telephone calls and e-mails it is not possible to provide an exact count.

Ernesto “Natas” Garcia
Bartlesville Pirates 2nd baseman 1951—Passed away April 2, 2017
(Jack Morris, Baseball Necrologist provided this information)
El amigo Luis Alarcón, presidente del Concejo Municipal del Salón de la Fama del Deportista Nogalense, nos da la triste noticia del sentido deceso de Ernesto “Natas” García, un excelentísimo segunda base que también marcó época en la Liga de la Costa del Pacífico, la Mexicana de Béisbol, la Invernal Sonora y Sonora-Sinaloa y la Norte de Sonora.
Su fallecimiento, por causas naturales de su edad, ocurrió a las 23:15 horas del sábado en la ciudad de Tucson.
“Natas”, nació el 7 de noviembre de 1932 en Nogales y desde el pasado 26 de enero de 2016 forma parte del Recinto Sagrado de esa frontera.
En la Costa del Pacífico fue parte del equipo Naranjeros de Hermosillo que se adjudicaron el bicampeonato en 1955-56 y 56-57 tripulados por Hub Kittle.
En la campaña del 55-56, Hermosillo tuvo a Joe Brovia, Earl “Búfalo” Averill, Bob Bowman, Leo Rodríguez, Ventura Morales, Pepe Bache, Ernesto “Natas” García y Ray Garza.
El pitcheo lo encabezaron Don Nichols y Jimmy Ochoa con 13 y 11 victorias. Los otros lanzadores fueron Pete Meza, “Ciclón” Echeverría, Arnulfo Manzo y Librado Ceceña.
Esa temporada le ganaron el play off por el título a Navojoa. A la siguiente repetirían en el trono, también dirigidos por Hub Kittle y donde el “Natas” fue el gran segunda base estelar.
Cuando la campaña 54-55, al “Natas lo encontramos luciendo en la primera serie en el Estadio de “La Casa del Pueblo” en el siguiente line up: Ernesto “Natas” García (2b), Leo Rodríguez (3b), Claudio Solano (lf), Joe Brovia (rf), Leon Kellman (ca), Dick Hogan (cf), Raymundo Garza (1b), Rubén Amaro (ss) y el pítcher Mel Queen.
Sin duda, otro notable equipo de esa época.
En 1956 fue parte de los campeones Diablos Rojos del México haciendo mancuerna con el “Chero” Mayers y estableciendo marcas en doble plays; también en 1961 ayudó al Águila de Veracruz a obtener el gallardete.
Sus estadísticas
En la Liga Mexicana de Béisbol logró los siguientes números después de 14 años de actividad donde concluyó con .278 de porcentaje de bateo.
Vio acción en 1,260 juegos, anotó 726 carreras, pegó 1,298 hits, 70 jonrones y produjo 485 carreras. Se estafó las bases en 36 ocasiones.
Se retiró en 1970.
En la Liga Invernal de Sonora y Sonora Sinaloa:
En cuatro años bateó .270, jugó 224 partidos, anotó 90 veces, pegó 230 hits, 9 jonrones e impulsó 94 carreras. Tuvo once estafas.
Su última temporada en el béisbol invernal fue en 1966. Descanse en paz. Nuestras condolencias a su señora esposa Alejandrina García, sus hijas Mayra y Diana Duarte, así como sus seis nietos.
Sólo once en MLB
Qué cosa: de los once peloteros mexicanos en la Gran Carpa, 10 son lanzadores!
Únicamente el “Titán” figura en un line up ligamayorista, ya sabe usted, como todo un estelar de los Dodgers de Los Ángeles.
La lista de pitchers, la compone: Jorge de la Rosa (Dbacks); Marco Estrada y Roberto Osuna (Toronto); Yovani Gallardo (Seattle); Óliver Pérez y Fernando Salas (Mets); Sergio Romo (Dodgers); Jaime García (Bravos); Joakim Soria (KC), y Miguel González (White Sox).
Tendré que volverme a poner los arreos y ponerme en forma para buscar una oportunidad en la Gran Carpa y acompañar a Adrián.
Claro, hay paisanos con probabilidad de ascender: Sebastián Elizalde (Rojos); Daniel Castro, de nuevo (Rockies); Xorge Carrillo (Mets); Christian Villanueva (Padres), y Alí Solís (Dodgers)).
Y como pitchers, Cesar Vargas (Padres), Luis Cessa y Giovanny Gallegos (NYY); Rafael Martín (Mets) y Julio Urías y Manny Bañuelos (Dodgers).
Ed comment:
It is possible to go through each paragraph of Garcia’s obituary and figure out how long he played, some of his statistics and some of the better known names of guys with whom he played. I believe he was also a scout and it appears that he signed a young man by the name of Gallegos, for the Yankees, who is now the property of the St. Louis Cardinals and threw an inning of relief as late as August 1, 2021.

Ed comment
Ray Haley attended many KOM league events and even made a trip to my baseball dungeon to take a look at something he helped purchase for the Don Davis family at the close of the 1948 season. The item was a brass horse with a detachable saddle. The price of the steed was around $100 and also chipping in to purchase it were; Al Pilarcik, Jim Finigan, Billy Bagwell, Nick Ananias, Jim Davis and Charley Joe Fontana.
That horse came to graze in the KOM League Hall of Fame pasture in the 1990’s and if memory serves correctly it has been shared in story and image in previous reports. It must be said that over all those 73 years the animal looks as good as the day it was presented to the Davis family for their kindness and friendship to the Independence players. The horse made it way to Reno, Nevada, from Independence after the eldest of the Davis family passed away. The daughter went to Independence, from Reno, to settle the estate. After arriving in Reno she decided it needed to be around the KOM crowd and it has been given good care for going a a quarter century. Incidentally, it is looking over my shoulder as this is being written.

Richard Pertzborn—Pitcher 1947 Independence Yankees
Richard J. Pertzborn, 93, of Ankeny, Iowa, died due to complications of Parkinson’s disease on December 30th, 2020. A funeral mass will be held on Thursday, January 7 at 12:00 pm, with visitation starting at 11:00 am at All Saints Catholic Church, Des Moines, Iowa.
A private burial will be at Glendale Cemetery. Richard was born and raised in Des Moines, Iowa. He graduated from Dowling High School in 1945. While attending Dowling he enjoyed playing sports. He was a standout catcher on the baseball team which led to an invitation to tryout with the St. Louis Cardinals Farm Team.
He put his baseball career on hold to serve his country and joined the United States Marine Corps serving stateside in World War II and the Korean War. After serving his country he pursued his dream of playing baseball professionally and signed with the NY Yankees. He played with the KMO league (Kansas, Missouri, Oklahoma). Unfortunately, a shoulder injury ended his baseball career. In 1948 he married the love of his life, Maryann Fehn. They built their home in Ankeny, Iowa, where they raised nine children.
Richard became a successful independent insurance agent, earning numerous professional achievements. It’s easy to see why he was so successful, he was a hardworking, dedicated, trustworthy, outgoing man who enjoyed talking with anyone. Richard was involved in several organizations and served on many boards. He was the first Grand Knight of the Knights of Columbus at Our Lady’s Immaculate Heart Church in Ankeny, Iowa. He also served on boards with the Serra Club, Colfax Interfaith Spiritual Center and Dowling High School.
Richard was a loving husband, an amazing father, grandfather, and great grandfather. He coached many of his kid’s sports teams and was a very involved father in all their activities. Richard became an avid runner later in life. He could run for miles and miles which led to participating in many marathons around the world. He also enjoyed participating in the Iowa Senior Games for many years.
Richard is survived by four daughters Pam Pertzborn of Waukee, Sue Weed of Des Moines, Mindy Pertzborn of Urbandale and Cris (Jon) Pertzborn-Klatt of Ankeny, along with five sons Rick (Judy) of West Des Moines, Mike (Roxi) of Storm Lake, Tim (Barb) of Des Moines, Bob (Kathy) of Ankeny and Tom (Cindy) of Dallas, Texas; in addition to 25 grandchildren and 36 great-grandchildren. He is preceded in death by his wife of 54 years, Maryann, a great grandson, son-in-law, two sisters, and parents.

Ed comment:
In 1995 my job landed me in Des Moines, Iowa where I worked on a proposal writing team to elicit bids, from private companies, to process Medicaid claims. During my spare time contact was made with former KOM leaguers living in the Des Moines and surrounding area. Through that process a number of guys, filling that bill, were located and a number of meals were eaten in restaurants and even in their homes.
Richard Pertzborn was one of the fellows I broke bread bread with both in his home and restaurants. The most memorable event was visiting his home in Ankeny and sitting on the patio. From there was the greatest spectacle I had ever witnessed. There were more hummingbird feeders in his backyard than I had ever seen in my life. I marveled at the number of birds at the feeder and the effort and money it took to feed them. Being a busy executive with Northwest Mutual Life Insurance, Pertzborn gave all the credit to his wife for caring for the sugar drinkers.
After leaving Iowa, in late summer of 1995, there was contact with the deceased for many years through the newsletter. With the onset of his Alzheimer's that all came to an end.

Ed comment:
Several issues ago this forum mentioned the difficulty in locating Mr. Hughes. A great deal was known about him as both his mother and father were pastors in the Church of God denomination. They moved around quite a bit, as pastors are destined to do. Their service to the church saw them pastor mostly in Tennessee, Missouri and Illinois. Although a lot of effort was expended in searching for Edward Humphrey Hughes Jr. while he was alive it took an obituary to identify what became of him after baseball. If, in the afterlife, it is permissible to talk about baseball some time will be set aside to ask questions of “The Big Guy” and if Flash Reports are allowed, this story can be embellished and shared. (Be sure to send a forwarding address)

www.laureloaksfuneralhome.com/obituaries/Ernest-Jordan?ob...
Mr. Ernest Jordan passed away Monday night, November 30, 2020 in Allen, Texas. He was born November 4, 1930 and just celebrated his 90th birthday. His parents were Ernest and Daisy Jordan. He leaves behind his dear wife, Wanda Jordan, devoted son, Al Jordan, and a number of other family and friends.
There will be a graveside service at 1 p.m. at Laurel Oaks Memorial Park with Rev. Ted Kiser officiating. Mr. Jordan will be laid to rest in the Garden of Hope near his son, James Ernest Jordan, who preceded him in death last year
This guy pitched for Ponca City in 1950. He won the final game of the 1950 championship and catcher, Don Keeter, kept the baseball that he gave me 45 years later.
I have tracked Jordan for over 25 years but could never make contact. I knew he was from San Mateo, California and suspected he was living in Texas.
To the best of my knowledge neither Jordan or his father had a middle name.

Ed comment: This is another guy I knew about but couldn't trace. He pitched in the second game of a doubleheader on July 1, 1951, the night the Carthage Cubs went off and left me at the Pittsburg ball park. James was a little guy and made his first mound appearances that night and held Carthage in check for one inning, the 9th. Lloyd “Pat” Gosney started that game for Pittsburg and hurled eight inning in hot, muggy weather. He struck out 13 Carthage batsmen and walked 12. He most likely threw more pitches that night than current major league starters are allowed to throw in two or three games.
James later played in the Yankee chain for the McAlester Rockets and Joplin Miners. I was aware he had moved to Texas and was living in Plano at one time. With his funeral being at Marble Falls, Plano might well have been where he died. The Corning, Ark. newspaper was not explicit on the place of death.

Carroll Ethan Bryan
In order to get an idea about who Mr. Bryan was the reader is going to have to click on some URL’s. Believe me, it isn’t that difficult. That is not has taxing as it has been searching for a fellow who showed up at Blackwell, Oklahoma just long enough to don a uniform and give it back in a couple of days.
For a number of years it was speculated the Bryan who showed up at Blackwell in 1952 was a Edwin Charles Bryan Jr. , from Belleville, Illinois with a rather extensive minor league career. However, following more detailed research it couldn’t have been him for he went into the Army in February of of that year.
Thanks to this site www.findagrave.com/memorial/26604258/carroll-ethan-bryan a better understanding developed regarding this short term Blackwell Bronco hurler who appeared in only one game.
As the link to his mortality indicates, he was born in 1927 and by the time he showed up for a shot at the KOM leaguer he was nearly 25 years of age. He had already served during WW II and with the younger men being drafted he obviously decided to try his hand in baseball. He was living in a rural area outside Wister, Oklahoma. Sixty five miles to the west is the town of McAlester which had a team called the Rockets that played in the Sooner State league. He signed with the Rockets on April 12, 1951 and he was released June 7 of that same year. However, in August he was re-singed for 1952 and after a couple of days in spring drills with the Rockets he was released and he made the 205 mile trek North to Blackwell where he fared no better. digital.la84.org/digital/collection/p17103coll3/id/11908/...
Bryan passed away May 11, 1994 in Poteau, Oklahoma and was buried at the Maxey Cemetery in his hometown of Wister. Not many people outside the Le Flore County town ever knew of Bryan’s love of baseball and most likely he never imagined someone would be writing about his “brush” with the bush leagues 69 years after he gave up his dream of “making it big.”
Had Bryan played longer there would most likely be information on him such as height and weight. He was 5’ 11” and weighed 145 pounds when entering the Army in 1945. Most likely he was in the 170 category by the time he tried his hand at professional baseball.

A long standing puzzle
For over a decade the name of James Williams has been bandied back and forth with baseball necrologist, Jack Morris. It could never be ascertained if James Parker Williams shown on the Sporting News Index Card was the same person who died as James Parks Williams in North Little Rock, Arkansas.
In recent communication Morris said his group couldn’t verify it was the same person unless they saw a reference to him in a newspaper.
digital.la84.org/digital/collection/p17103coll3/id/162958... James Parker Williams
My case is that I saw his name in the Bartlesville Examiner from some time in April of 1950. He was listed as being a native of McRae, Arkansas. That fits with the town listed in his obituary.
www.findagrave.com/memorial/148343743/jimmie-parks-williams James Parks Williams.
With that issue still dangling in mid-air a decision was made to review the obituary and make an attempt to locate a surviving member of his family. His son was chosen and the attempt to locate him wound up finding that he also passed away in recent years. Thus, it may be like speaking with Mr. Hughes, mentioned in the previous story, it will have to wait until we all pass through the pearly gates to find out who the real Jimmy Williams, was.

Do the editor of this Flash Report a favor or two.
In late 1948 my mother received a telephone call from a former friend who was moving back to Carthage, Missouri from Madill, Oklahoma. The caller said she had a son about my age and he didn’t know anyone and wondered if my mother would either send me to her house or if her son could come and play baseball at mine. Since we had the largest yard the young man and his mother came for a visit.
Over the coming months and years the young man from Madill became my close friend. Between us was one bicycle. We lived a mile apart and when he had the urge to play baseball he would dial 3808 and ask me to get on “Betsy” (my bicycle) and peddle toward his house where he would meet me and he would be the designated peddler to my house for he was the bigger one us. By the way when I called my friend it was 3676. Some things never leave your memory.
After the baseball games concluded, back down Valley Street I went as my new friend peddled toward his home on Orchard Street. This routine lasted for a couple of years. When spring training rolled around my friend would peddle “Betsy,” with me on the back and a couple of mile journey would ensue to one of three spring training sites of the Carthage Cubs, Topeka Owls, Janesville Cubs and Sioux Falls, Canaries. The primary reasons for the spring training jaunts were to collect the broken bats and “find” a few stray baseballs for the upcoming summer’s games played in my back yard.
Baseball was the summer activity, football in the fall and basketball whenever. My friend was on the opposing football team on Thanksgiving Day, 1951. As the quarterback on my two-man team made a fateful decision to dive for a loose ball and received a severely broken left arm. That most likely prevented my making it to the big leagues. Football was out of the question and my friend improvised when it came to basketball. He was the most gifted among us and he’d take the rim from a can of coffee, make a net out of an orange sack and place it on a stud in a little shed on the property of the second house in lived in after coming back to Carthage. The ball we used was of the tennis genre and we came across those at the tennis court across the street from the Carthage baseball stadium. My friend had that miniature basketball game down to a science and he skunked me every time.
Upon my becoming the batboy for the Carthage Cubs I talked my friend into showing up early so that he could be the batboy for the visiting team. As with everything else he was a step ahead of me. Standing by the Pittsburg dugout one evening he was admiring the timber of that club when manager, Bill Enos, strode our way. My friend was impressed by the bat that had the name “Enos” on it. He thought it was a model used by Enos Slaughter of the St. Louis Cardinals. Enos asked my buddy if he liked it and upon the affirmative he was handed it. Enos said “I can’t get any hits with it so you might as well have it.”
My buddy was a year older than me and that brought an eventual end of our many hours playing baseball and other games. What happened very shortly thereafter is that my friend discovered girls. He had to split his time between being with the guys and his newly found friend. At one time my friends oldest brother discovered my oldest sister and had it not been for the Korean War, and his brother serving in it, my buddy and I might have been “almost kin.”
During his latter years in high school my buddy moved “out west” to South Central Kansas. One day in high school my English teacher said that she had received a short story that won a national award. It was written by my friend. As she read the story, which was about sports, I kept awaiting to discover the mystery person he was leading up to for the finale. For some reason I thought it might say “Johnny Hall.” Of course, he didn’t. But, at that point I knew George Robert “Corky” Simpson was destined to be an outstanding writer. The attached URL will vindicate that as a high school junior my prognostication was on target.

Cousin of another friend comes home 70 years after end of Korean War.
A few editions ago there was a story shared about the remains being identified as a solder from WWII. That person was from Baxter Springs, Kansas and his brothers played for the Baxter Springs Whiz Kids before and during Mickey Mantle’s time there.
Late this spring another buddy from Carthage, (Gary W. Smith) sent me a note about his cousin who was killed in Korea and his remains were recently identified and returned for burial. I imagine the deceased had attended some KOM league prior to his entering the U. S. Army.
During my time as Carthage batboy I recall the consternation among some of the guys who knew what was on the horizon. It was a tough period for one Carthage pitcher who had been told he would finish the 1951 before being inducted. He left the team on July 20, 1951. Just one year, one month and one day later he was killed in North Korea. I have told this story a number of times but I never learned of the death of Walter Koehler until four decades later when the research on the KOM league began. Here is the link for Lloyd Alumbaugh.

Coming to the end
Once in a while a question is sent from a reader of this reports and even less often there is an answer tucked away in the dark recesses of my mind. Follow along.
From a Tulsa reader
Hello, John, I've been reading "The Pine Tar Game" by Filip Bondy. ttps://www.amazon.com/Pine-Tar-Game-Entertaining-Controversy/dp/1476777187/ref=sr_1_2?crid=3RL94A5822LGO&dchild=1&keywords=the+pine+tar+game&qid=1627862188&sprefix=The+Pine+Tar+game%2Caps%2C183&sr=8-2
On page 167, in talking about Lee MacPhail, the author writes:
“In 1946, he became general manager of the Yankees' Triple-A team in Kansas City, while his father was still the Yanks' top executive in New York. He remembered being at a Blanton, Missouri, tryout camp where some teenager named Mickey Mantle showed up with his father, Mutt.”
I tried to find Blanton, Missouri, but with no luck. No reference could be found. Just curious where it was. You ever hear of it? Thanks.
Ed reply:
There is no such town. My guess he was talking about Branson. Make sense? Mantle never went to a tryout camp in Branson. He went there for about a week after being signed by the Yankees in 1949. He came to Independence for a couple of days and left with the team for Chanute, Kansas for a June 12th game that was rained out.
Then he was back to Branson in 1950 (for spring training) and came out as a member of the Joplin Miners.
Ed comment:
That brings up one more thing. A couple of weeks ago Jimmy Richardson, one of Mickey Mantle’s first cousins, on the maternal side, called regarding purchasing a few more of the “Mickey Mantle Before the Glory” books. At that time he mentioned that his younger brother, Tom, had passed away in recent months. Tom is the guy mentioned in the Mantle book who attempted to ride the family cow out of the barn and it turned out to be quite an experience. For those who have that book, look up the story. For those who don’t there a “few” unread copies in my secret stash that are either going bald or turning gray.
