Galaxy Test Case, Part 2: Earth

August 6, 2021 by George Kapus Leave a Comment

For the past couple hundred years, evidence has been dug up that indicates civilization, in one form or another, of one level or another, has been cycling on planet Earth for eons. For one reason or another, each of these iterations of ‘civilization’ disappeared, to be replaced by a new version. However, between each new iteration, a great span of time elapsed before that new version developed to the point of actually being called a civilization.

For the longest time, everybody who ever went to school believed what we were being taught; that various ages took X amount of time as humans evolved from primates, to eventually become sentient creatures who start thinking and creating.

Of course, in order to do that, they had to develop a language so that they could communicate and start keeping records. They then would start thinking about being able to count and measure, and eventually to design structures to live in, to conduct business and to worship those celestial beings who they claim, had transported them here, to planet Earth, in the first place.

You see, somehow, all iterations of our predecessors, have attempted to somehow communicate with us that they (or their forefathers) had been brought here from somewhere else and then taught certain things to be able to survive and keep populating the planet. The Bible as well as the religious writings of other cultures all have tales of ‘Superior’ celestial beings guiding and teaching our ancestors the necessary skills to survive, such as agriculture, animal breeding and domestication, to have a steady supply of food, so they won’t starve. They then instructed them on how to build living quarters and even fortifications, in case they encountered unfriendly neighbors, perhaps relocated here, from somewhere else in the cosmos, by some competing factions within the EFG (Enlightened Federation of the Galaxy) or even some Alien factions from outside out galaxy. And there is plenty of evidence that has been uncovered regarding some sort of Extraterrestrial or Celestial Assistance, from numerous cultures around our globe.

The more we look at the uncovered evidence, with an open mind and opened eyes, the more we are able to discern that Celestial Beings have been involved in our earthly affairs for eons. If we read the many ancient writings as factual accounts rather than folk tales and mythology, we realize that even with the inexact writing of these tales, there is plenty of evidence that rather accurately describes physical interaction between human earth dwellers and Celestial Beings (Extraterrestrials). In other words, Homo Sapiens (thinking human being) were probably relocated to planet Earth, several millions of years ago to (possibly) see if they could survive on this wild planet, with dinosaurs, earthquakes, and worldwide floods. And the proof is in the pudding as they say!

The footprints of modern man have been found, alongside that of dinosaurs, at the bottom of riverbeds, at times several strata deep. These footprints having been made when that particular layer or stratum was soft and over the eons, had hardened to stone. And it is not only one set of footprints that we are talking about. In some cases, the footprints go on for quite a distance to disappear at the base of a hill or rock formation. There are numerous instances of these finds, which unfortunately have been kept locked away because, mainstream science has deemed these finds as OOPARTs, or out of place (and time) artifacts that did not fit in with their narrative regarding the theorized timeline of Modern Man’s evolution.

Just out of curiosity, have you ever seen any examples of the footprints in stone that I wrote about previously, in any museum? I sure haven’t!

So here again, it appears that ‘Modern Man’ has been around for quite some time and probably arrived on planet earth, pretty much as he appears today; physically that is, not with a suit and tie and a briefcase or a modern dress. Which again supports my theory or hypothesis that we did not evolve from apes, here on planet Earth. As I remember asking one of my teachers, Mr. Johnson, as he was puffing on a cigarette between yellowed chops, way back, last century, around 1960-61, “If we did evolve from monkeys, why are there still monkeys around?” To which, my learned teacher could not come up with an answer. All he could reply at the time as he exhaled a giant plume of cigarette smoke was, “We don’t have time for silly questions like that. Let’s move along…”

So then, if we did not evolve from monkeys (or Apes) where did we arrive here from? Right about now, you might know what my answer would be. We (actually our distant ancestors) were transported here by Celestial Beings, or Aliens from another galaxy, or even possibly from some other distant part of the Cosmos, possibly to be tested; to see if we could survive the rigors of planet Earth. The question is, where were we ‘relocated from’ and did all ethnic groups actually come from the same planet, or, did all the ethnic varieties of planet Earth, all come from different planets, possibly from totally different solar systems?

A number of smarter folks than ‘moi’ have postulated that we, that is, our ancestors, were relocated here on planet Earth, from a dying or devastated, planet Mars or Mars-like planet.

I, on the other hand believe that Mars may actually have been a former safe haven that we had been temporarily relocated to millions of years prior, until the (Alien) scientists discovered that, we actually needed to move on, again.

Now, where could that planet of origin of ours have been located, I haven’t a clue. There must have been a darned good reason why there was a need to relocate us Humans to Mars and then, millions of years later, again to relocate us to planet Earth. Is it possible that this cycle of relocation has been going on since time immemorial as some means of populating or repopulating planets that were devoid of intelligent, bipedal hominids to take care of it, or was it out of necessity due to galaxywide planetary disasters that had forced our benefactors to relocate us to a safer, more favorable location. There might have been other, perhaps darker reasons for our relocations (s).

We may never, ever discover the true nature of our (Humanity’s) wonderings from planet to planet. However, I do believe that there is an answer out there, somewhere. And when we get a chance to meet up with our celestial benefactors, they may just reveal to us, the secret of our origin.

Now, why do I claim that our distant ancestors have been moved about our galaxy from planet to planet for eons, like some sort of galactic refugees. Perhaps, it is because I have been a ‘Displaced Person’ myself; not due to some galactic conflict but rather to a major ‘Terrestrial ‘conflict known as World War II (WWII). So, just like my family and I were relocated to a safer place, to remove us from harm, so could our very distant ancestors have been moved from place to place in our own galaxy, ‘the Milky Way’ because we might have been victims of some enormous, galactic conflict. Then again, we may just have been transported here from some neighboring galaxy that was in some ginormous internal conflict of its own. Here’s a tidbit from the web:

“The long-term evolution of a galaxy is influenced by being part of a group. The Milky Way and the Andromeda Galaxy, our nearest spiral neighbor, are headed toward each other. In about five billion years, they may collide and merge. Eventually, our remote descendants could be living in a much larger elliptical galaxy.”

Did you get that? Is it possible that our remote ancestors were the victims of some major galactic collision, billions of years ago, when some other galaxy and the Milky Way, or whatever it was way back then, collided to form what is now our own Milky Way? We are talking here about billions of years ago. Now, the other part of this galactic planet hopping is the fact that, we have been relocated (again, our ancestors) to one of the spiral arms of the Milky Way, furthest away from its center; why? And again, we are also located very close to the biggest empty void in the Universe. Again, was this done on purpose and if so, why? I am going to seriously think about this.

So, for now, let us return to the issue of our Extraterrestrial benefactors. It is becoming more and more apparent in recent times, that these very same celestial voyagers who might have transported our very distant ancestors here to planet earth, are still around, keeping an eye on us. As a matter of fact, now, even the United States Government has finally admitted, in the open, that exceptionally speedy Unidentified Aerial Vehicles have been caught on radar and video, by our very own US military pilots. And, when asked if (They) knew who or what these UAVs were, even our top ‘Intelligence Agencies’ were unable to come up with an answer.

Now, if you believe that sightings of these UAVs are something new, you are in for a surprise. It was first brought to our attention, when according to some reports, a UFO, or perhaps, several UFOs crashed at Roswell, New Mexico, during the 4^th of July week, in 1947. I have written about the ‘Roswell Incident’ in a past issue of ALIVE Magazine. The crux of the matter is, the United States Army Air Force originally claimed in the Roswell Daily Record (a New Mexico Newspaper) article of the time that, that they had in fact captured a “Crashed Flying Saucer” in the fields of a local rancher. The very next day, before the ink was even dry, the story totally changed to “It was nothing but a Conventional Weather Balloon”. And the Government cover-up of UFO incidents thus began with zeal.

An interesting twist to the whole UFO story is that, not only ordinary folks or the Military have had encounters with them. Several United States Presidents have in fact had encounters with ‘Out of this World’ flying vehicles and even ‘Celestial’ or Extraterrestrial beings. Here is a list of the United States Presidents who have at least admitted of having had a strange out of this world encounter. We have the very first US President, George Washington, Thomas Jefferson, Abraham Lincoln, Teddy Roosevelt, Dwight D. Eisenhower, Richard Nixon, Jimmy Carter, and Ronald Reagan. As of 2019, let’s just say that even President Trump knew more about UFOs and Extraterrestrials then he was willing to share with Tucker Carlson in an interview in Tokyo, Japan.

Let us start with George Washington, our very first US President. At Valley Forge, in the winter of 1777, being very dejected, as the war of Independence was not going quite the way he had expected or wanted, GW knelt down to pray for some spiritual guidance. Suddenly, a brilliant apparition among the trees, reassured our first president that the war would be won by Washington’s rag-tag army. And, it was so, sending King George’s Army packing, back to the British Isles.

In 1801, Thomas Jefferson, who would later that year become the 3^rd President of the United States, was given a report of an Unidentified Aerial Phenomena seen over Batton Rouge, Louisiana by a number of folks. Jefferson dutifully entered the report of the event into the ‘Official Transactions of the American Philosophical Association’ as having taken place on April 5, 1800. According to several witnesses the object was approximately 70 to 80 feet long and was travelling at about 200 yards’ altitude. It disappeared over the tree line and moments later a large explosion was heard. By the time the witnesses made it to the point of impact, all there was left was a giant fire which had apparently consumed whatever debris had been left of the mysterious object.

Our 16^th President of the United States, Abraham Lincoln, would have a very strange, or even possibly an out of body experience before every battle that the Union Forces were engaged in. On April 14, 1865, just mere hours before he would succumb to the bullet fired by John Wilkes Booth, he went and told General Ulysses S. Grant of this, what he called at the time a ‘strange dream’ wherein he was transported over the battle scenes at a very high rate of speed in what he believed may have been some sort of a ‘clear capsule’.

On August 1, 1907, at the Oyster Bay, Long Island estate of Teddy Roosevelt, our 26^th President, a large group of friends and neighbors, including Teddy, observed a large orb of light overhead. Might this sighting have been the impetus for TR’s idea for the development of a more powerful naval presence? Might he have received some sort of subliminal message from the occupants of the glowing UGO (Unidentified Glowing Orb)?

Our 33^rd President of the United States, Harry S. Truman was the one who had the most to do with UFO secrecy and governmental coverups. The Roswell Incident took place on his watch as well as the ‘Roswell Coverup’. The 1952 Washington DC UFO Incident also known as the ‘DC UFO Flap or Merry-Go-Round’ also took place on Truman’s watch. The 1947 National Security Act concocted by President Truman was probably what led to the government sanctioned UFO Cover-Ups!

On February 20, 1954, Dwight D. Eisenhower, our 34th President arrives at Palm Springs, Ca, for a few days of golfing and relaxation. He however fails to show up for a major, public dinner event with no explanation. The following day, as the press pushes for an explanation, a chipped tooth and a dental visit are used as an excuse. However, the real story has to do with a meeting between Ike and some Aliens (Extraterrestrials) and some sort of pact or treaty between the two parties, allowing for the Aliens to surveil us while flying through our skies, in exchange for Alien Technological Assistance. According to various sources, Ike actually had as many as three meetings with Aliens.

With all the Atomic bomb testing at White Sands in New Mexico as well as the hell dropped on Hiroshima and Nagasaki, were the Aliens perhaps concerned with Humankind’s use of Atomic weapons?

The following is a story that I have written about in a previous issue of ALIVE magazine and that is the story of President Nixon (No. 37) and Jackie Gleason of the Honeymooners fame. Following a round of golf with Jackie in Florida, Nixon shows up at Gleason’s house, later that night. “Come on Jackie, I have something to show you,” says the President. There is no escort nor secret service, Nixon is driving. The long drive takes them to Homestead Air Force Base, some 35 miles southwest of Miami. After entering the base, Nixon drives to a heavily guarded building that contains a Flying Saucers and dead Alien bodies on ice. Jackie is so shocked by what he was shown that he doesn’t tell his wife for several days. Much later, Beverly Gleason does get the story and publishes it to Jackie’s dismay. As a result of the story, there came a clampdown on how much information regarding UFOs, even presidents would be allowed access to.

Before he would become US President number 39, Jimmy Carter had a UFO experience of his own, in October 1969, in Leary, Georgia. Along with a whole crowd, Jimmy Carter observes a strange, colorful orb in the sky. Four years later, he would file a formal report with the ‘International UFO Bureau’. If elected, he promised to release all UFO files. However, as gets into office, the powers behind the curtains clamp down and Jimmy’s promise would never be kept.

Future President Ronald Reagan (No. 40) on September 1974, as Governor of California, while on his way, via jet, to an event in Bakersfield, California, spots a UFO through the window of the jet. The UFO appears to be following his jet, while flying over Merced. The UFO apparently followed Reagan’s jet for some time, then suddenly departed at great speed. Reagan firmly believed in UFOs and Extraterrestrials which might have led him to make the rather poignant speech at the United Nations General Assembly in 1987.

Here is a brief excerpt of that speech: “… when you stop to think that we’re all God’s children, wherever we may live in the world, I couldn’t help but say to him, just think how easy his task and mine might be in these meetings that we held if suddenly there was a threat to this world from some other species from another planet outside in the universe.

We’d forget all the little local differences that we have between our countries, and we would find out once and for all that we really are all human beings here on this earth together”

Is this perhaps why President Reagan proposed his ‘Star Wars Initiative’ not to combat earthly missiles, but to guard against some extraterrestrial threat?

And how about President Trump establishing the United States Space Force. Was that because he, like all the other presidents actually know a lot more about UFOs and Extraterrestrials, than they are telling us?

Earth: Galaxy Test Site ?

June 18, 2021 by George Kapus Leave a Comment

Many years ago, way back in the 1950s in fact, even before Erich Von Däniken had ever written one of his books, my father would occasionally philosophize with me regarding the possibility of highly evolved civilizations before ours. So, you understand, my father was a pretty serious guy, He was not prone to flights of fancy. So, when he started to philosophize, I tried to listen, especially when he spoke about ancient civilizations and UFOs (Unidentified Flying Objects) since I had, myself seen one of those when I was but twelve years old, in of all places, France. To be specific, my sighting happened in 1954 in Algrange, Moselle, France, on the plateau which runs parallel to the little town of Algrange.

If you would like to read the whole story, you can still get a copy of my book on Amazon, entitled “DISPLACED”. Whether you want to get the book and read it, is up to you.

So anyway, in the dim, distant past of the 1950s, my father told me that he believed that some very highly developed civilizations had existed on our planet and they had achieved great levels of knowledge, technologically and culturally, but for some reason, they had disappeared, due to either some calamitous event or even possibly due to some major conflict with some galactic opponent. In other words, some sort of interstellar, nuclear conflict. Planet Earth, as a result was destroyed. Well, not the planet itself, but let’s just say that living conditions on the surface of planet Earth became unfavorable for the Humans residing here at the time, for quite a long time.

Millenia passed and Earth started to recover. So, the powers to be, at the time in our galaxy, perhaps the “Enlightened Federation of the Galaxy” or EFG, decided to test conditions for living creatures and discovered that Earth needed help in recovering. So, they sent some enormous spaceships loaded with some really, really big animals, such as Dinosaurs to assist in the recovery process. Why Dinosaurs, you may ask. Well, they are exceptionally large, for one thing. They leave massive footprints, sort of like those ginormous bulldozers used to basically reshape areas of our planet. In addition, those dinosaurs clean up the mess left behind by some major intergalactic mishap, such as a nuclear war or a great flood (which would leave behind a lot of dead fish), by devouring whatever living or dead, was left behind and their excrement would in turn fertilize the surface of the planet and help her recover, with brand new vegetation. It is a sort of a terraforming method, using biological entities. If you think about it, it is rather clever of the EFG. They don’t have to gather up all the tools used in the terraforming process and pack them all back up in the enormous spaceships. They simply leave them all behind. The dinosaurs then, slowly die out or, are destroyed through some ‘planned destruction plan’ by the EFG, leaving their bodies to decompose and leaving planet Earth with an enormous supply of oil, which after thousands or perhaps millions of years becomes available for drilling. Of course, the oil that will be drilled and refined, will become the fuel that will be used to power the twentieth century vehicles, we humans will come up with, before we eventually evolve into the Space age.

I hope you’re getting where I am going with this idea. The beings who run the EFG, are not stupid. They have been at it for possibly millions and millions of years, which is why, we are constantly discovering that planet earth has had Technologically Advanced Civilizations (TAC) for possibly many millions of years, that have disappeared, and reappeared on various occasions. Which is also why, over the past hundred or more years, the more digging archeologists and geologists have done, the more evidence has been dug up as proof, that there may have been, numerous “Technologically Advanced Worlds” before our own.

Think about it. It is a very unfortunate circumstance that Mainstream Academia and even Religion has such a difficult time accepting the fact that the Egyptians were NOT the first advanced civilization. I still remember back in 1958, when our history teacher, Mr. Johnson, told us that before the Egyptians, ‘WE’ Humans were running around in loin cloths, hanging out in trees or caves, eating bananas, trying to stay out of the way of predatory creatures who wanted us for their meals. Then, about a thousand years or so down the road, we climbed out of our tree and decided, “Hmm, I think we should build some of them there, darn Pyramids!”

Really? Can you even understand the mathematical knowledge you must possess to be able to not only plan a pyramid, which may appear to be a simply shaped structure but is in fact an overly complex puzzle, but to be able to manufacture the extremely high precision technological tools needed to make those pyramids a reality.

For instance, the more than a square mile plateau that the Giza pyramids are built upon, had been levelled to within a couple of inches of 100% flat. This could not have been done by ‘banana chomping, loin cloth attired’ unshaved tree-dwellers, with not even the equivalent of a first-grade mathematical education! Ask an engineer and tool designer like Christopher Dunn if some stone age, banana eating tree-dweller, with absolutely no education of any kind, could have built those pyramids, and he would laugh you out of the room. Dunn has actually taken his calipers and other engineering and measuring tools to Giza and has proven that, not only was there a very high level of mathematical knowledge involved in the design and construction of the pyramids but, that highly technical, power-driven tools were actually used in the processing and manufacture of the enormous stone blocks used in the construction of said pyramids. Oh, and by the way, since no soot was ever discovered on the ceilings of the numerous hallways and corridors throughout the pyramids, there is a good possibility that even electricity was involved in lighting the interior while work was being done, but electricity might have even powered the high-speed tools used in the cutting and shaping of the stone blocks.

In other words: sophisticated, highly technological planning, design and construction methods had been used to erect those Giza pyramids and, it is very possible that they were built not some five thousand years ago but, possibly as much as 12,000 years ago, according to Dr. Robert Schoch, and possibly as far back as maybe 20 to 25,000 years ago, according to me.

The pyramids are not the only anomalous megalithic structures on planet Earth. Every continent on our planet has mysterious megalithic structures that defy the current or established dating and construction methods explanation given by mainstream sources.

Now, think about it. Our planet is full of clues that some of us look at and examine and decide that they are truly proof that the current occupants of our planet are not the only highly advanced civilization that has occupied this space. All of the megalithic structures found everywhere, around our planet simply indicate that some pretty advanced humans, using rather sophisticated tools and methods were able to build them. Now, the question becomes, where did they (those ancient humans) acquire the knowledge to develop the planning, the tools, and methods to accomplish those tasks? Did they simply evolve and learn on their own, or were they taught by superior beings, who already had the knowledge and had actually relocated those early humans here, to planet Earth?

Some Native American traditions tell us of someone called ‘Sky Woman’ falling to Earth who is then tasked with caring for nature. Sounds rather simplistic and nice. Then, there are folks who passionately believe that all humans do is harm nature and if we (humans) simply disappeared off of the face of the planet earth, she (Earth) would be a very happy camper. You make what you wish out of that narrow-minded thinking. If these simplistic folks would study a bit of astronomy, they would realize that as much as they believe that we humans are the destroyers of Earth, before we were deposited here, on a rather safe planet, out there in the cosmos, for millions of years, celestial bodies rampaged around, destroying each other, until finally, some order was established, and our solar system became a finely tuned operation. How do these simple-minded folks think that the asteroid belt came about? Do they even know that Earth is constantly in danger of being bombarded by giant asteroids, which would certainly cause a lot more damage than us ‘mistreating the environment’. Wake up people, we were transplanted on planet Earth for a reason.

And although ‘Sky Woman’ falling to earth to tend the environment, is a nice tale, it is about as accurate as the story of Adam and Eve, which I have touched upon in a previous article. Put simply, Adam and Eve are planted in the Garden of Eden, some sort of ‘Testing Biosphere’ to see if they could take care of things, mingle with the animals and to not get too nosy about the ways of the garden and the ways of the flesh. When they inadvertently peek into the book of knowledge, egged on by a snaky troublemaker, they get kicked out and told to find their own lodgings. Since they now are cognizant of the ways of the flesh, they create two children, both boys. One’s name is Cain and the other, Abel. The following is an excerpt from the Bible, via Wikipedia.

“In the biblical Book of Genesis, Cain and Abel are the first two sons of Adam and Eve. Cain, the firstborn, was a farmer, and his brother Abel was a shepherd. The brothers made sacrifices to God, each of his own produce, but God favored Abel’s sacrifice instead of Cain’s. Cain then murdered Abel, whereupon God punished Cain by condemning him to a life of wandering. Cain then dwelt in the land of Nod, where he built a city and fathered the line of descendants beginning with Enoch”.

So, here is where it becomes curiouser and curiouser. If Adam and Eve were the first humans on Earth and had two sons. One son kills the other and is sent on his way to fend for himself. How did he find a city in the land of Nod and start dating and have a family. Where exactly did the people who built Nod, come from? Could they possibly have been ‘relocated’ by some EFG Operatives, to planet earth, just like several other “Ethnically’ varied groups of humans, all over Earth?

For instance, people of Japan, China, India, Europe, Egypt, Sumer, the Caucasus, Innuits as well as Native Americans and various island people, all have legends of superior, beings from the sky, in other words, extraterrestrial (flying beings, gods, angels) transporting them here to planet earth from somewhere else. Many of these so-called legends are very similar, although not exactly the same. These heavenly beings (Extraterrestrials) always flew in on some sort of fiery chariots (Däniken’s Chariots of the Gods), fire-spewing dragons or flaming birds. Were these attributes described by the observers, simply descriptions of technologically advanced, flying transportation vehicles? I would say so. So why have mainstream academics always poopooed the possibility that these ancient people might have been describing actual events, and not legends or dreams, as best as they could, with the extremely limited vocabulary in terms of technological vehicles, available to them at the time? This is something that I will never understand.

Moving right along. There is enough evidence available today, to start seeing and believing that Extraterrestrial powers have been meddling in the affairs of ‘us’ earthlings, for what seems like millennia, possibly even eons. And guess what, the US Government has finally admitted its interest in Unidentified Flying Objects and the entities that pilot them, simply because, they could no longer keep it a secret that, US Military pilots have had encounters with them (UFOs), for quite a long time, possibly since the Roswell Incident and perhaps even before. I have seen video footage on ‘Ancient Aliens’ shows, of the US aircraft carrier, the USS Nimitz being shadowed by a whole fleet of UFOs for several days, just to then vanish under the surface of the Pacific somewhere around Catalina Island. Navy vessels on the East Coast of the United States have had similar experiences. So, how come, we are just now hearing and seeing evidence of these occurrences? Well guess what?

The US Congress is finally starting to ask questions regarding our ‘Intelligence Agencies” inability to determine whether these violators of the United States’ air space, are friends or foe. It has not been generally publicized but, a report is expected to be released in the near future, according to a number of notices that I have received via email. Perhaps, these disclosures may force mainstream academia to pay closer attention to things that zip around in our skies and, more closely and honestly scrutinize thousands of years old, perhaps even millions of years old evidence being dug up almost daily that appear to indicate the actuality of extraterrestrial visitations of our planet for eons, at times immeasurable even in GTS (Geologic Time Scale). And to the diggers of ancient, buried evidence, I say “Do not keep hiding evidence that you cannot explain, in the cellars of museums and out of sight of the general public, that may just be interested in what has been dug up. And for Pete’s sake, give the evidence a more honest appraisal!”

More to come in future articles. The truth ‘is’ really out there. We just have to make an effort to keep certain operatives from hiding it from the rest of us!

A Land That Was

March 13, 2021 by George Kapus Leave a Comment

A long, long time ago, not far, far away,

there was a land, so marvelous

multitudes aspired to reach.

If you asked, you were welcomed

and given a chance to escape

poverty, torture, and death,

and blood-thirsty Tyrants’ wrath.

Millions took chances just to reach

the shores of this Marvelous Land,

called the Land of the Free and Home of the Brave,

where all yours dreams could be fulfilled.

If you rolled up your sleeves

and worked very hard,

you could become whatever you wished,

no matter who you were and where you’d come from.

Then one day, darkness fell, upon this Land.

The minions of a new king

defeated his predecessor

who had brought to the Land, prosperity and order.

The people were joyful until that day

when chilling silence swept the joy away.

With the stroke of a pen, the people were silenced.

Lest many platitudes would be offered,

to the new king.

People’s hard work was slandered.

Their ancestries used to separate,

as interlopers, breached their borders

to help the new king, destroy prosperity and order.

How could this have happened

to this marvelous Land

that the multitudes aspired to reach?

Could she ever reclaim her former greatness?

this land of dreams that used to be

a marvelous Land of opportunity?

Perhaps but a fable and no more, it be

about one great leader

and the other, but a feeble king.

But, as you may well know,

be it no more than a fanciful, fictional tale,

it would require in the mixture,

a tablespoon or two, of reality.

Wake-up, America!

January 19, 2021 by George Kapus 1 Comment

As we begin a new year, I thought that I should sound the alarm on the systematic dismantling of our great country. In 1776, our Founding Fathers created an idea for a country where every individual would be considered equal by the fact that we had all been created by God.

For almost 244 years, the United States of America has managed to thrive as the Founding Fathers had intended. However, for the past few decades, some Socialists have been trying to transform this great nation into just another third world Socialist country, to be no better, nor superior to the rest of this struggling world, searching for an identity.

The unfortunate part of this is, the transformation efforts are driven, not from outside our country—although some outside elements are supporting these destructive efforts—but from inside. And in most cases it is being conducted by segments of our society who have benefited most from this nation’s gifts; elected Democrat politicians. The very rich, now perhaps driven by some form of guilt, have decided to get aboard the “Socialist Express to Destruction,” along with some minority groups that believe in the Socialist lies, all of which have been tried in other parts of the world without success.

The actions of these groups in trying to affect change, are no different from similar groups working for Adolf Hitler’s thugs destroying opposing groups in Nazi Germany, nor from Stalin’s red tie brigades eliminating millions of opponents by sending them to the afterlife. Unfortunately, one surviving Socialist power player that has survived while the others have failed and died—Red China—is still alive and well and is doing its best to support the opponents of Freedom as well as weak-willed politicians, like Joseph Robinette Biden Jr., now claiming to be President Elect of the United States, and his misguided, lying Vice-President Elect, Kamala Devi Harris.

It is fascinating to note that, Kamala Harris, who has benefited from our great system of Liberal Education and managed to get a college education and a Law Degree, now wants to destroy our system and replace it with Socialism, aka Communism.

Now, Joe Biden’s story of conversion is somewhat different. From day one, Joe was in it for profit. Which is why, by 2021, he will have been in politics for 48 years. In all of those years, Joe has waffled back and forth in his beliefs. He is known for having sponsored pro-law-and-order legislation, which he now seems to want to disavow. In the past two decades, he has managed to become a multi-millionaire. He owns multiple large homes and other properties and investments. It is interesting to note that his wealth has risen quite a bit since his son Hunter got embroiled in questionable international trade with trading partners of unsavory repute. For instance, in Ukraine, Hunter got a sweet deal while becoming a board member of one of the largest natural-gas producers in that country, Burisma, for an unbelievable cut. The point being: Joe Biden’s Cartel has benefited from all of Hunter’s connections, as head of the Cartel.

Hunter’s latest money-making scheme now involves China. China has the Biden Cartel in its pockets and is only too happy to help in any way it can in the transformation of America from a leader of the Free World to a second-rate—actually, make that just one of many third-world—losers. Now, why would Joe Biden facilitate this hideous transformation effort? Money!

The awkward circumstances of all this might lead one to believe that our incoming president is nothing other than a lying, hypocritical, treasonous political hack who doesn’t care about anything but his own wealth. I would never say that of course, but some might be thinking that way!

Of course, along with the transformation of America into another third-world loser is not he only plot being cooked-up by the New Left—the one composed of far-left Democrats, Big Tech, Big Business, Big Money, BLM, and Antifa. They are also going full-throttle in a program of Vilification of Whites. Of course, this is not straight forward. The Left is pitting white men against every other societal segment in America. The Leftist Intelligentsia, Hollywood, media, and the big businesses (money) that buy ads in the media, have all contributed to the vilification and demoralization of white men—particularly older white men—as being sexist, racist, stupid, and in general, despicable human beings in every commercial, tv show and even some movies.

Enter Red China. While we are dealing with our internal strife, they unleash their Equalizer: COVID-19, to add to our problems. While we are fighting the Pandemic and have our eyes off the ball, China sneaks in millions of dollars into the Left’s coffers and send in and army of Fang-Fangs to snare horny politicians in their web to further undermine our system. But that ain’t all! Did you know that, when the COVID-19 was released, CCP (Chinese Communist Party) shut down all incoming flights to China, while shipping off, hundreds of thousands of Chinese citizens to all parts of the globe, mostly the United States and Europe? Not only that but, we have several hundreds of thousands of Chinese students planted in our colleges and universities, for which the CCP pays those hallowed halls of academia, billions of dollars. So of course, they are not going to complain or report these incursions. Naturally, these students (I say Operatives) all return to China with our latest technological and engineering advancements and China doesn’t have to do any work to further their development. We have given them literally everything to beat us in the world economic decathlon!

If we don’t wake up here in America, we will one day find ourselves as a second-rate colony of China. Red China will have conquered us without firing a shot, thanks to the Fifth Columnists in our government, like Biden, Harris, Pelosi, Schumer, Swalwell, the Congressional Black Caucus and their enablers like George Soros. Add to that, people like Cuomo, Newsome, Jake Tapper, Jeff Zucker, BLM, Antifa, Silicon Valley, Big Money, Big Business, Hollywood and all the other Socialist/ Globalist operatives in our country, and we will have allowed our Founding Fathers’ great creation to be destroyed and turned into rubble and ashes on the trash heap of history. Do you all really want this to happen?

China’s communist dictator, Xi Jinping, boasted of his nation’s achievements in 2020, at his regular New Year’s Eve speech. Despite his words, the reality is it was a year defined by a deadly pandemic that Beijing created and could have prevented, if only, China was really the USA’s friend! Instead, they destroyed our economy, as well as that of Europe. Their virus killed over 300,000 Americans along with thousands of small businesses and restaurants.

It’s time to wake up, America. Red China is NOT our friend, and it appears right now, the Democrats aren’t either. Pay attention to events. Demand change. Make sure to support organization that stand for America and Americans. Don’t be deceived by false prophets like Joe Biden, Kamala Harris, Nancy Pelosi, and Chuck Schumer. There is still hope, so long as we don’t fall asleep and allow the Socialists and Globalists win!

I wish you all a Happier 2021 and pray that God will help us get through this Socialist maelstrom and we come out victorious!

Please let me know your thoughts. I’d love to hear from you. You can reach me at God Bless!

Lost in the Mist, Part 2

December 21, 2020 by George Kapus Leave a Comment

Have you ever thought that advances made by civilizations on planet Earth, in technology have at times appeared in an inconsistent manner? In other words, things get developed so far and then development stops, until, out of nowhere, development gets a boost. Now, where do you think that that boost had come from? Let us go back to the Egyptians, Mesopotamians, Sumerians or the Indians of Central and South America, the Chinese and Japanese, the Indians (from India) as well as others. All of these cultures believed and still do, that whenever strides had been made in the way they were able to build colossal structures out of enormous sized blocks of stones, Extraterrestrials or Divine Beings had come down from above, in fiery chariots and intervened, by bringing down with them the knowledge, tools and technology to accomplish these tasks.

For instance, in India, China and Japan, perhaps other countries, contact between humans and celestial beings, at times referred to as divine or gods, happened rather frequently in distant past. Indian scholars for instance, believe that some of these meetings took place as far back as 30,000 to 60,000 years ago. Those celestial beings always appeared ‘travelling’ in hi-tech celestial vehicles that were often described as fire-breathing dragons, Vimanas, flying turtles or giants birds with supernatural powers. The reason for these fanciful descriptions was due to the fact that to the primitive earthlings of these various regions of our planet, these events and apparitions could only be described using the vocabulary and understanding available to them, at that time.

Eventually, people of the near east, encompassing Turkey, Mesopotamia, Egypt, and the Sinai Peninsula started experiencing similar visitations from celestial emissaries which these people also called divine beings or gods. These super advanced beings who descended from the firmament brought down with them, very advanced knowledge of technology, agriculture, law and order as well as construction and even religion. In order to teach humans advanced construction methods, these divine beings also had to introduce the primitive humans to highly technical machinery and rather complex design concepts. These gods (small g) may have been responsible for the construction of the original pyramids and colossal structures of the valley surrounding the pyramids, or at least in helping those ancient cultures in building them. The Extraterrestrials might in fact have been responsible, if not for the actual building of giant megalithic structures all around planet Earth, at least for teaching the humans how to accomplish these feats with the aid of high-tech gear that they had brought along.

Once the lessons were over, all the high-tech gear was packed up in the celestial transportation vehicles, which is why, there are no remnants of them to be found anywhere near those ancient megalithic structures. Nor are there any images of them found either. Probably because, the ‘Teachers’ did not allow any images to be recorded until, they were ready to let the cat out of the bag, so to speak.

Although, every once in a while, some of the initiated earthlings (priests and such), managed to leave some images hinting at futuristic vehicles, such as those found in the temple at Abydos. Which for some misguided reason, mainstream academicians have tried to explain away as ‘over-plastering’ and scraping away multiple layers of plaster; but why? Are Mainstream Academicians members of MIST?

Then, there is the giant sarcophagus lid of King Paqal (or Pakal) clearly showing the King operating the controls of some sort of flying apparatus which appears to be taking off for the heavens. There is even smoke and fire coming out of its tail pipes. Again, misinterpreted by mainstream academia, as being nothing more than symbolic. But, symbolic of what? The king is clearly manipulating some levers with his hands, and his foot is on some sort of pedal. Symbolic, you say?

I could give you more examples of misunderstood at the time, high-tech mobile transportation conveyances, eventually, purposefully misinterpreted by modern day archeological ‘Experts’, but why?

Moving right along. Once these celestial teachers had accomplished their missions of helping and teaching the earthlings to start catching up with other civilizations throughout the galaxy, they packed up their high-tech gear and returned to their planets of origin, while promising the humans that they would periodically look in on them, to see if they needed any help. And apparently, they have kept their promise, as we have seen throughout history, the reappearance of these ET teachers. However, I expect that many of the instructions left behind with the humans were lost or misplaced, perhaps misunderstood, or even destroyed by overzealous religious leaders (members of MIST?), hellbent on destroying any evidence of extraterrestrial involvement, purposefully misrepresenting their assistance as the work of Satan.

As a result of this misguided exuberance on the part of religious operatives, we, or humanity has lost millions of pages of instructions and even complete libraries of valuable information regarding our past history as well as great technological inventions and philosophical writings. Complete libraries of scrolls and books were burned in the 1600’s, especially in the Americas where Conquistadores led by representatives of the church of Rome ordered burned, Maya folding codices by the thousands, as works of the devil. Only a few of these valuable books have remained, one of the most important among them saved, was the Dresden Codex. Had these valuable writings been preserved and saved for future generations in archives, we would have a much better understanding of the past of our planet. It had taken hundreds, perhaps thousands of years to compile these libraries and in a flash, they were destroyed by misguided exuberance; what a shame!

The point I started out making was, that in fact, it is very possible that MIST or some shadow, or parallel, or perhaps breakaway civilizations does exist in the center of planet earth, or under the three-miles-thick sheet of ice covering Antarctica in huge Ice caverns, or even perhaps hiding in strands of a parallel universe.

Is it possible that at some distant point in time, MIST might actually have been present on our planet, and been part of our own timeline? It is also possible that representatives of MIST are actually hiding in plain sight, even today, right under our noses. This may be one of the reasons why we are NOT being told the truth about UFOs and Aliens.

There are tales in Mayan and Aztec cultures where suddenly, whole populations stopped existing, as though they had all just walked away from their magnificent cities, in the middle of a meal and utterly, completely disappeared. Where could they have gone?

Then, there is the case of disappearing UFOs. Again, how is it possible that we have seen UFOs appear and disappear right before our eyes. Especially since, they had not only been seen by human eyes, but by the electronic eyes of radar on jet planes and modern military vessels? Numerous stories have been written on this topic in several excellent books dedicated to them. The pilots have visuals of one or more, physical, unidentifiable aerial vehicles, not belonging to any earthly powers, suddenly disappear and within a matter of seconds, reappear, not only visually, but as solid blips on radar screens, and even on sonar. How could they do that, and so quickly, you might ask? I cannot tell you, but I can theorize…

Here are some conclusions that I have come to since I first started thinking about UFOs, way back in the 1950s. These are my own conclusions, however, if you have done any reading on this topic, you might have discovered that a number of others have come to the same or similar conclusions.

VARIETY OF UFOs – There are recorded, over a hundred different shapes and sizes of UFOs and numerous charts, showing the various models, have been created by amateurs, the Military and UFO Research Groups. Could all these different models originate from the same place? It is possible but highly unlikely. That is like saying that all automobiles come from the United States, when in fact 59 countries around the world build cars, for various manufacturers.

The same goes for earthly flying vehicles or airplanes. Not only that, but airplanes have evolved over the years. In the one hundred years from 1901 to 2000, we have gone from biplanes to jet planes and rocket ships. Today’s aircraft include airplanes, helicopters, airships, gliders, paramotors or paragliders. The first aircrafts had two wings stacked over one another and an engine spinning a propeller. We now have planes powered by jet engines and capable of carrying some 300 passengers and giant military transport or strategic airlifter planes, such as the C-5M Super Galaxy, which not only carries personnel but cargo, vehicles and up to 5 helicopters. We also have helicopters that lift off vertically and can be used for emergency vehicles, transporting passengers, and flying in combat situations. We even have vertical takeoff and landing (VTOL) jet planes. We have come a long way. But we still have a long way to go. We have not caught up to ET.

Take for instance some recent sightings of a variety of UFOs, all over the world. In this one case, two Chilean Airforce jets were out on a training mission over their Pacific Coast when, out of nowhere, this humongous cigar shaped flying objects appeared in front of them. In their report, the two pilots reported that what they saw was approximately the length of ten (10) aircraft carriers.

This from the Web: “The Navy currently uses Nimitz class aircraft carriers, which are typically 1,094 feet in length and have deck space of approximately 4.5 acres, the size of four football fields. Below deck the ships hold up to 80 aircraft, 6,250 people, 2 nuclear reactors, and all the supplies needed for tours that can last several months.

Based on the above information, the cigar shaped object observed by the Chilean jet pilots would have measured about 10,940 feet which is about 2.080 miles. This UFO could possibly hold about 62,500 passengers and possibly several smaller scout ships (80 x 10 = 800). So, what was this monstrosity, maybe an Alien ‘Cruise Ship’ hauling around Alien Tourists to observe the primitive lifeforms of Earth? How can I put it? We do not have anything that comes even close in size to this behemoth UFO. Not only that, but when the Chilean jet fighters tried to get near it for a closer look-see, it took off at such a speed that the jets could not keep up with it, and disappeared in a matter of mere seconds. We certainly DO NOT have any flying vehicles on Earth that can move that fast.

So, what sort of propulsion system did this UFO possess, and where did it come from? Not sure about either!

Of course, according to various sources, there are possibly over a hundred or more UFO designs that have visited our skies. The most common being the saucer shaped UFO. Just within this category, there are dozens of sizes of Flying Saucers or flying disks. The next category would be cigar shaped UFOs, as I described the one above, seen on the Pacific Coast of Chili. Then, there are triangular, square, diamond shaped, oval or egg-shaped, globe-shaped and wheel-within-wheel shaped as in the Spaceship that prophet Ezekiel not only spotted but actually took a ride in.

The one thing all the UFOs have in common is, and I am only guessing here, that they can maneuver at such high speeds that, no fighter jets of any earthly power can catch up to them. But it is not speed alone that makes these space vehicles so elusive, it’s their extreme maneuverability, especially the saucer or disk-shaped ones. The only reason we have been able to get our hands on some of them is, they, for some unknown reason, managed to come crashing out of the sky and our, and other governments’ military were able to gather up the wreckage. And of course, these are incidents where a veil of secrecy has enveloped not only the recovered artifacts, but any and all information regarding them. Is it that, perhaps MIST has a hand in perpetrating the cover-ups? More than likely!

Now, every habitable, technologically evolved planet in our Galaxy, or perhaps in the whole Universe, may manufacture certain models of UFOs or space transport vehicles. This also means that, not every habitable planet that builds UFOs, may necessarily be interested enough in planet Earth to send UFOs to observe us. Of course, with at least 100 various designs of UFOs, at least a few galactic entities are, for some reason, interested in what ‘We Earthlings Are Up To’.

Here is an interesting thought of mine: Helicopters are the only earthly flying vehicles that can almost mimic the maneuverability of flying saucers. They can takeoff vertically, fly horizontally and vertically. They can hover in place and make impossible turns no other earthly flying vehicle can. The only thing they cannot do is, fly at hypersonic (Mach 5), or even supersonic (Mach 1) speeds and catch up to a flying saucer. Some UFOs have been tracked, going at over Mach 15.

FYI: Mach 1 is approx. 741 mph. Mach 5 = 3,705 mph. Mach 15 = 11,116 mph. One of the fastest UFOs ever observed was going over 20,000 mph or about Mach 27. We, on planet Earth have nothing that could have caught this UFO!

Lost in the Mist

November 30, 2020 by George Kapus Leave a Comment

Let me start out by saying that, I have over the years heard from supposed intelligent people that, UFO’s don’t exist, there are no intelligent beings anywhere else in the universe except here on Earth, and that people who have seen UFOs are delusional crackpots. These geniuses should go out more often and try reading, books, and magazines; and maybe watch some episodes of Ancient Aliens! Also, if these very same individuals believe that ‘we’ Earthlings are the pinnacle of creation, the Universe is in deep Doodoo!

In 1954, when I was just 12 years old, I saw a landed UFO, in France. Years later, I had the occasion to see, on more than one occasion, unidentifiable objects flying around in the skies above the San Francisco Bay Area, that the radio would report as UFOs, the following day. I for one also do not believe for a minute that we are the most intelligent humanoid beings in the universe, with literally billions and billions of not only stars, but galaxies, with the possibility of millions and millions of habitable planets. As far as UFOs not existing, let me give you instances of those things flying around for thousands of years. Let me just stay in the past century and on into the 21^st century.

During World War II, for those of you who have not studied history, those were roughly the years between about 1938 and 1945. During those years, our military, as well as our adversaries, observed more than 10,000 UFOs: back then known as Foo Fighters, all across the globe. Unfortunately, the higher ups running our military and government, instead of openly reporting on them, tried to quash the sightings and called the observers, unstable, incompetent, and delusional, or had bad eyesight. Whether our Government and our Military liked it or not, these sightings persisted through the Korean War, the Cold War, the Vietnam War, and the Middle East conflicts. As a matter of fact, they persist up to present days.

Here is a good one for you. I found it in an excellent book, the title of which, I will give you at the end of my article. Gordon Cooper, yes, the famous astronaut, was stationed at Edwards Airforce base, in Southern California, way back in 1957, as a crew was filming some precision landing devices and how well they performed. All of a sudden, a UFO landed about 150 feet from where they were filming. The two cameramen immediately ran into the commandant’s (Cooper’s) office to report the apparition. The two cameramen reported what had just happened as well as telling Cooper that they had recorded the whole incident on movie film as well as photographs. Cooper got to see stills and film of the whole event. He was ordered to ship the material to DC, without delay and to not allow any copies to be made and left behind. Interestingly enough, he had expected to be debriefed, but was never interviewed about the incident. The higher-ups never called him!

Strangely enough, this was not the first time that photographic evidence had been obtained and basically hidden from the public. There were a number of instances, where jetfighter pilots were shown photographs of UFOs by unknown civilians and asked, “Is this what you saw and chased?” But they were never given a definitive answer as to where the questioner had gotten a hold of those very clear photographs. So, think about it. Where did these secret government operatives get a hold of clear, high resolution images of various types of UFOs, if they, as they claimed, had no idea what these pilots were talking about?

Here’s another interesting factoid: During various Apollo Lunar landings, video feed to the public was interrupted while one of the astronauts wanted to report something out of the ordinary on a secondary channel, used for medical or other more secretive communications, saying something to the effect of, “They’re here and are watching us from behind that hill!” Amateur radio operators with rather sophisticated VHF receivers, were able to intercept these mysterious messages. Unfortunately, although NASA is a civilian agency, paid for by taxpayers (us), those in charge have done their best to suppress and deny any information dealing with UFOs and Extraterrestrials and usually feed us a lot of baloney. Here is one incident even NASA cannot deny, although they have not explained it either. While flying around the moon in the Gemini-IV Command module, Major James McDivitt got some excellent video footage of a UFO that he reported, had been following his module 4 times around the moon. The images show a flying extraterrestrial space vehicle. McDivitt said that, it wasn’t one of ours.

And speaking of Apollo missions and the Moon, did you know that it may actually be hollow, the Moon that is? So, here is one of my many theories, regarding the moon. Either, certain members of our government know more than some of the others, or, there are operatives in our government (USA) who know more than they admit and are part of a Shadow or Breakaway entity, let us call it MIST (Military-Industrial-Scientific-Technologic) complex, that is in cahoots with whatever Extraterrestrial entities are operating these super Hi-Tech unidentifiable space vehicles. The answer may NOT be a simple one. Are there Extraterrestrials flying all those UFOs everyone is talking about? The answer is YES and maybe NO!

Let’s start out with, what is this MIST, and what does it really know? Some people believe that technological advances are sometimes orchestrated in the shadows, by say, Breakaway Civilizations or perhaps a super secretive organization (MIST) in which only certain, selected high-ranking members of the government and some specially selected members of the military, are members. Some sectors even believe that such advances are brought to us by Space Aliens or Extraterrestrials.

There are many people who believe that planet Earth is hollow on the inside and is inhabited by super intelligent beings who may look just like us but, they are much smarter and far more advanced than us, and except for occasionally slipping us keys to advanced technology, they really do not have any desire to comingle with us. Which is why they choose to live in the bowels of our planet, where they have created a super-civilization and, they have not invited us in. If you think that this theory is way out there, let me give you a few more.

There are some serious Ancient Aliens Theorists who believe that there are some Extraterrestrials, nay, a whole settlement of these space travelers who live right here, almost right under our noses; well actually, right under Antarctica’s thick ice sheet. Most of Antarctica’s surface has been covered by a thick layer of ice for thousands of years. This ice measures between two and three miles in thickness and covers an area of 5,400,000 sq. miles or 14 million sq. km., which is about 1.3 times as large as Europe. Some folks claim that there are humongous ice caverns, with mild 70+ degrees temperature that could support normal plant life, right underneath this sheet of ice. Ergo, it would also be able to support human life, without the need for cold-weather gear, making their existence reasonably pleasant. The reason for this temperature differential between the surface of Antarctica and the interior of these caverns is that there are over 90 volcanoes in that frozen vastness, many of them active.

There are some who also claim that at least one of these ice caverns under the ice is large enough to possibly be able to contain a settlement the size of Manhattan Island. Can you believe it? There are of course other, smaller caverns. The point is, some believe that Extraterrestrials may have built whole cities, millennia ago and may actually still occupy them, there under the ice, keeping them invisible to the rest of the world. From there, they undertake sorties of our planet for purposes of helping, annoying or simply observing. Now, where would people get such ideas, you might ask.

There are a number of research camps from various nations, mostly around the edges of Antarctica and as crews fly in and out and around from these camps at various times, they have encountered on multiple occasions UFOs, mostly of the saucer variety. Flights of five to six saucers have been observed in various flying formations, zooming around at great speeds, and eventually disappearing. To the best of my knowledge, their base of operation, or futuristic city, has yet to be located. However, as our own government has not come clean about Unidentified Flying Vehicles, they may in fact be colluding with our extraterrestrials guests. Maybe, just maybe, one of these days, we will find out what they are all up to.

One possibility for the instantaneous appearances and disappearances of UFOs since time immemorial is this idea that I (and many others) have about parallel universes or a multi-verse, where multiple (many or just a couple) universes share the same physical space while existing at different vibrations, therefore not running into each other. These various universes, or strands of a multiverse, are separated by an almost super thin skin or veil, and whoever/whatever controls the UFOs has figured out how to move in and out though this thin fabric. During WWII, there were over 10,000 UFO sightings by the military all over the world. Many were reported, officially, although eventually, military personnel opted to not mention the sightings for fear of ridicule, and for pilots, possible grounding. Yet, the sightings persisted through WWII, the Korean war, the Cold war, the Middle East conflicts, all the way to present time. So, why was it that it took to 2019, for the US Military to finally release some radar screen shots and admit that indeed, they were dealing with unidentified aerial anomalies?

Yet, those are the only Official photographic evidence that the government has released for us to see. There has to be a secret stash or archive, of literally hundreds, perhaps thousands of photographs and movie footage of unidentified flying things, somewhere in the dark cellars of the Pentagon or at Wright-Pat (Patterson) Airforce Base. Gordon Cooper for one, saw the photos and movie footage taken at Edwards Airforce Base in 1957, in Southern California, before all of it was shipped off to the Pentagon. And he was never asked a single question about them. Interesting, don’t you think? So, why all the secrecy? They either know everything and are lying, or they know nothing, which I don’t believe!

There are some, who believe that this Shadow or Breakaway entity, that I call MIST (Military-Industrial-Scientific-Technologic) complex, may actually be in cahoots with whatever Extraterrestrial entities are operating these super Hi-Tech unidentifiable space vehicles. MIST, or whatever name they operate under, have been around since the beginning of time, some believe, and that membership into this organization is very selective and secretive. Whoever is allowed to join is considered an ‘initiate’ meaning that they are considered a novice, in a rather secret or secretive society, which by all available evidence, has been operating for a very long time. It appears that they may have been operating since time immemorial. It is also very possible that, if you intentionally or even accidentally reveal any secrets of the operations of MIST (or whatever they call themselves) you may be terminated.

I will give you a couple of examples of possible terminations of ‘initiates’. This first one comes from the website: criminal element. In the conspiracy world, the death of James Forrestal is prima facie evidence of a cover-up of…. well, something. What that something is, is generally up for debate. But was his fall from the 16th floor of Bethesda Medical Center truly the suicide of a trouble man, or the murder of a man who knew too much?

The James Forrestal story is very troubling in that he was aware among many things, of the real story behind UFOs and wanted to go public with what he knew. There were other controversial issues in his portfolio which may have contributed to his demise. But after careful examination, the suicide scenario does not agree with the evidence. For example, why did he have his bathrobe belt around his neck? Why did he choose to jump out of the bathroom window, which was quite a bit smaller than the big window of his room, if he was indeed committing suicide? Other questions linger as well. Perhaps, as an initiate in the organization running the UFO cover-up, he broke their rule by going public with the information. We may never know.

Another example goes a bit further back in time: The case of Piri Reis. He was an Ottoman Admiral and cartographer who had compiled a map of the world which showed the outlines of the western cost of Europe, North Africa, the coast of Brazil as well as the outline of Antarctica, without ice, showing rivers and mountain ranges. Unfortunately, only a third of the map still exists. The story goes that Piri Reis was an ‘initiate’ and Sultan Suleiman was a member of ‘the’ secret organization of his time. For making copies of a map that shows earth, as it might have looked some 10-15 thousand years ago, initiate Piri Reis might have broken the rules of the secret society of which Suleiman (translated: Salomon) was the head, he ordered Piri Reis be beheaded. The year was 1553.

Does Everyone Need a Degree?

October 11, 2020 by George Kapus Leave a Comment

All the candidates out there during this election cycle have been dangling this one big prize in front of the voting public: Free college for anyone who wants it, and some have even promised that recent graduates would have their college tuition loans forgiven; in other words, paid off by the “government.” Ha! Where would all that money come from, you think? Probably out of the pockets of the working taxpayers with or without a college degree, now in the workforce, who by the way, would not have their college tuitions refunded retroactively by these marvelous candidates. However, the real question is, “Does everyone need a college degree?” My answer would have to be a great big, “NO!” The fact is some people need one and some don’t.

Allow me to turn the clock back to the year 1955. My parents and I were still living in Algrange, Moselle, France. I was in the sixth (6^th) grade at Ecole Mixte (1), now referred to as Ecole de la Mairie (2). That year, all children in my class were sent to a large auditorium in Algrange and given a one-half day test to see who among all of us, would be going to Gymnasium, which was the equivalent to High School, here in the United States. The top three boys and top three girls were going to go to a district Gymnasium, about 15 km, from where we lived. I came in second. That wasn’t too bad for a foreigner, in France, as my father would find out on the day of our departure from Algrange, as the principal explained to him that (and this was on the QT) only a French National was allowed to come in, in first place. So, this was 1955. Perhaps now, things are different. Be that as it may, I had come in 2^nd. That meant, had we stayed there, I would have gone to Gymnasium, with a possibility to attend a university. So, as we had decided to emigrate to the United States, I had given up my second-place spot, allowing one of my school buddies, who had come in fourth, to take my place.

What was the point of my little story above, you might ask? The rest of the class, boys and girls, were than selected, based on their aptitudes, to attend various local and regional Trade Schools. They would be trained as apprentices in the many trades, that were needed to fill jobs as machinists, electricians, seamstresses, cooks, bakers, and so on. Even back then, these were reasonably well-paying professions.

Now, we jump across the pond—as the Brits like to call the Atlantic. Here at Berkeley High School, I completed my American education and was looking forward to college. Back in 1960, if you graduated with a certain GPA, you would be accepted by UC Berkeley, without having to go through any testing. Otherwise, you went to JC, that would be Junior College. There were, and may still be, several in the Bay Area. I signed up for Oakland Junior College, down on Grove Street in Oakland. The main reason I did was that although I had vanquished my language difficulty, I had no idea what I wanted to study.

I liked Art and my father wanted me to be a diplomat, since by this time, I knew four languages rather well. When he passed away in 1958, I thought, just maybe, I could go into Art. My mother had other ideas. She told me that I should at least want to study to be a doctor or an engineer. I took all the prerequisites for a medical career, until one day our instructor informed us that we would be viewing an autopsy, the following week, and where that would be. As I had seen my father die just a couple years prior, the thought of watching a human being getting carved up put an end to my medical career. One thing led to another and I found myself in the workaday world, first in a machine shop, then as coil-winder in an electrical shop. The jobs paid well enough and I no longer had a desire to go back to school since I was making money.

Now, we get to the point I am trying to make by telling you my story. Over the years, I met a lot of kids who were just like me; undecided. Some didn’t know if they wanted to on to school, due to the cost. Some liked to work on cars. Some liked messing around with electrical stuff, like working on radios and remote-control airplanes. Many felt that they had no need to go on to college or university. Why should they have to? Back then, unions of various sorts took in young people, mostly young men to teach them a trade, such as electrician, machinist, auto-mechanic, pilot, or pipefitter. However, the openings were limited. So, a lot of high school graduates, and even some who had attended Junior College, ended up in the workforce, not necessarily doing something they would enjoy, just doing a job that would pay.

One of the strangely sad, while at the same time funny stories around 1970 was the one about the guy that worked at the corner gas station in Berkeley, pumping gas, with a Ph.D. The funny part was, “I had a Ph.D. fill my tank, today”. The sad part was, this guy had spent from eight to ten years, earning this degree, just to be pumping gas at a corner gas station. Could this still be happening today? Very possibly. A better question would be, “Should this be happening today?” The answer should be “no!”

We should be taking better care of our human resources so that their lives are more meaningful and not wasted in pursuit of unnecessary goals that will not improve their chances of getting better jobs.

As of today, college graduates in general, make more money than those who have only graduated from high school. One of the reasons for this is, vocational training centers are not as plentiful here in the United States as they are in Europe, where vocationally trained professionals, make almost as much as college graduates and sometimes, even more. So, what should happen in the United Sates?

To improve the prospects of those who have graduated from high school and do not necessarily want to attend college or university, there should be an opportunity for mid-skilled vocational training, outside of universities for those in need of post-secondary education and training, but less than a bachelor’s degree.

The following comes from WENR – (World Education News and Reviews) – The Trump administration recognizes the urgency of advancing vocational education in the United States. In June 2017, President Trump signed an executive order on Expanding Apprenticeships in America that seeks to increase the availability of such programs. In today’s rapidly changing economy, it is more important than ever to prepare workers to fill both existing and newly created jobs and to prepare workers for the jobs of the future. It certainly makes a lot of sense to me. What do you think?

For the past twenty or more years, vocational training opportunities have declined. Unless you know of someone in a specific union and can get into their apprenticeship program, you are out of luck. Specific unions can only take on so many new trainees. Hence, the need for a NEW Vocational College System, offering a variety of specialized programs, where students can sign up and receive a “Certificate of Specialization,” or an even higher level of accomplishment by earning a ‘Technology Certificate,” where students get in-depth, hands-on training in technologies and specialties, without having to spend enormous amounts of time learning about geography, history, sociology or philosophy. How about a certificate in Viticulture, or Oenology (enology)? Where Oenology is the science and study of wine and winemaking, viticulture deals with the growing of grapes. Should one really have to attend a four-year college or a university to learn about the process of making wine?

As you all well know, automobiles don’t fix themselves, neither do television sets, washing machines, dishwashers or cable systems, and cakes, cookies and specialty bakery items don’t appear magically on store shelves. Books and magazines don’t get printed magically. With some of the certificates available, students can get jobs they are qualified and trained for. Or, they could simply go out and start their own enterprises, such as a garage, a bakery, or whatever business or specialty they had been studying for.

How about training to work in publishing, where things have changed quite a bit? For instance, I worked in publishing for a short while, back some fifty years ago, where I did all the layout and color separation of artwork by hand. Today, it’s all done with computers. It’s a brand-new world in publishing as it is in a multitude of endeavors. Computers have taken over in many fields. Getting into these and other new fields, would be more attainable with a certificate of completion from an accredited Vocational Specialty Institute.

In contrast to the USA, Germany has a highly successful specialized work based, system of vocational training that has gained world-wide recognition. Again, according to WENR: 47.2 percent—nearly half—of the German population held a formal vocational qualification in 2016. Fully 1.3 million students in Germany enrolled in VET programs in 2017, compared with only 190,000 individuals (that would be 0.055% of the US population) who registered for apprenticeship programs in the U.S. in the same year.

That’s a shame! Can you imagine all those wasted lives, wasted talent, with nowhere to turn?

Can you imagine what a similar approach to a vocational education program in the United States could do to improve the employability of specifically, young people as well as those, more mature workers, who have been forced to look for new and different employment following the closure of certain industries? Currently, most apprenticeship programs are only available through specific unions, and it is understandable that these unions can only take care of the training of a limited number of candidates. Hence, there is an obvious reason for the establishment of a system of ‘Specialized Vocational Training Institutes or Colleges’.

The benefits of accredited, professional, vocational training would mean, a brighter future for young and old, a better chance at employment and a higher earning potential. So, the establishment of a system of Accredited Vocational Institutes (Colleges) should be a priority going forward. It would be a win-win goal providing opportunities for further education and career goals to young people, as well as to formerly employed older citizens who may want to try their hand at baking cakes, fixing cars, or the vinification of wine making!

WHAT COLOR IS INSANITY?

July 10, 2020 by George Kapus Leave a Comment

Let me start out by saying that we, the American People, are NOT irredeemably racist. This is something that was invented by the irredeemably deranged Left, a bunch of loons of a whole array of colors, from pale to dark shades. This has been bugging me for a long time: who in heaven’s name decided that people from European countries or of European ancestry, should be called white? Have you ever had to fill out a form where you are asked for your ethnicity? There is now at least half a dozen or more categories or choices on various forms including on the CENSUS, where you have to declare an ethnicity or skin color. At the top of the list, you’ll always find: White or Caucasian, then Hispanic (no color choice), Asian (no color choice), Pacific Islander (no color choice), Middle- Eastern (no color choice) and African-American (no color choice). How come that all other ethnic categories are broken up into sub-grouping, except for those of us who have come from Europe, or Americans of European ancestry? By the way, do you realize that, although Hispanics are a separate ethnic choice on these forms, most are actually of the very same skin color as Europeans, except for those coming from Latin-American countries. Did you also know that, most people of Middle Eastern countries, as well as North Africa, also have the same or similar skin tone as Europeans? And yet, they all get a separate category.

Do you also realize that NOT all Europeans have a common ancestry and none of us are really white (in color): but more on that later? For instance, we have the people of Denmark, Sweden and Norway, and their ancestry is Nordic. They are generally, tall thin and blonde. Interestingly, the people of Finland or the Fins are a Baltic people. The people of Germany are of Germanic origin and even though they are neighbors to the Danish, they are of quite different origin.

Here’s a good one for you. For the longest time, researchers have claimed that Hungarians (my people) and the Fins (People from Finland) were related and came from a common Finno-Ugric ancestry. About 40 to 50 years ago, I actually believed this, until I walked into a Finnish steam bath in Albany California, thinking that if Fins and Hungarians were related, you know, like Germans and Austrians, I should be able to communicate with the proprietor of the establishment. To my surprise, the letters on their signage looked similar to ours, but I couldn’t read a single word or understand what the man was saying to me, not a single word. He sounded like he was speaking Songhai (language of Timbuktu). Over the years, Hungarian researchers, as they kept digging, they eventually came up with a theory that we (Hungarians) actually descended from the Sumerians; that is the people of Sumer, who inhabited the area of modern Middle East, by the Tigris and Euphrates rivers, between 5500 and 4000 BC. Is it 100% certain? Who knows? Although, some similarities have been discovered between the Sumerian and Hungarian languages. with words which are still in use in Hungary, today. If I wanted to categorize myself, I would say that I am a Magyar of Indo-European ancestry. I am not Caucasian. My people are not related to Russians, Germans, French, Nordic or Mediterranean. So, why in hell, would someone call me white?

We have the descendants of the Romans who originated in Rome and today, they are called Italians. The Greeks or Hellenes are actually descended from the Egyptians and now occupy Greece, Cyprus, Albania, Italy, Turkey, Egypt as well as other countries around the rim of the Mediterranean Sea.

We now come to the various people who occupy the countries that were part of the former USSR or the Soviet Union. The people of the Ukraine or Ukrainians are descendants, according to some in the know, of the Scythians who actually moved into the area from Persia. The people of Russia have a contentious ancestry. Some say that they are descendants of the Varangians and Slavs, and even have a mix of Viking in them, although their language doesn’t sound anything like Swedish or Norwegian or Danish. The people of Poland are of West Slavic descent, according to ethnologists.

Now, we get to the French. Their ancestry is Gallic and Celt with a dash of Gallo-Roman and Ligurians and even Norse, especially in the Normandy region. We are now getting down to Spain, which has an ancestry of Iberians, Celts, and Basques. Let’s visit Portugal whose people trace their ancestry to Lusitanians, with a mix of Celtic people.

I could go on, but the point of this tracing of the ethnicity of various European people should show you that, we Europeans did NOT descend from one common or same ancestor, and although these various people all occupy certain parts of Europe and many of them live in countries side by side, they are NOT all of Caucasian ancestry and certainly none of them are really White. We Europeans are various shades of Tan. If you look at a color chart, and you can find some very good ones in a paint store, you will realize that, nobody, not a single person on this planet (that’s a big zero) can actually be called WHITE (the color of printer paper)!

In other words, all people living on planet Earth, are people of color; like ninety-nine shades of color; perhaps even nine hundred and ninety-nine different shades. And, we should not be lumped into buckets to satisfy some liberal-socialist idea of classifying the people of our planet. Origins of various European peoples are as diverse and different from one another as we are different from other people living on planet Earth. It may not be great, but it is, what it is. Deal with it!

Who in heaven’s name decided, a long time ago to label all of us of lighter skin pigmentation and European ancestry, WHITE? They must have been color-blind, stupid, or wanted to diminish and insult us. Some of the people living around the rim of the Mediterranean have darker skin than Central Europeans, and the further north you travel, people’s skin gets somewhat lighter, but never White (you know, the color of snow). How about people of North Africa? Their skin color is about the same shade as the skin of Southern Europeans and definitely much lighter than the skin color of darker skinned Africans from further south. Many Middle Eastern people have skin color almost the same shade as some Europeans and some have darker skin coloration like Africans. I could go on.

All of us living on Earth are Homo Sapiens, meaning wise man in Latin, although at times, I see truly little wisdom in the way we treat each other. Which brings me back to our individual skin pigmentation, and why it is used by certain groups of people, especially Liberals and extremists, as a weapon. When certain folks run out of logic in a discourse, they attack you by using your skin color as a weapon, for instance WHITE PRIVILEGE!

This stereotypical designation usually comes from misguided people of color as well as delusional (but, well-educated) people of Lighter skin tone (Commonly known as White Liberals) and is one of the most fallacious, audacious, and unfounded load of cow manure. For one thing, this label is totally meaningless. What does it even mean? To the ones lobbing this insult at people of European descent, it means that because of your complexion, you are treated with special care.

Ha! What I say to them is, “Walk a mile in my shoes before you judge me!”

Who came up with this illogical, however very clever misnomer, liberal socialists of various different ancestries as well as skin color? The fact is, no matter how you want to insult and attack people you disagree with, it is easier to do it, if you can dump them all into one bucket labelled White. That bucket should actually be labelled Green; hence, the privilege should be called Green, or Green Privilege. Get it? Because not-so-wealthy whites, are no more privileged than not-so-wealthy black individuals. On the other hand, millionaire whites are just as, or equally privileged as millionaire blacks.

Now, since I don’t believe that there are people who have a skin color that is actually white (the color of printer paper), or black (color of black ink), there cannot be anything that is labelled WHITE PRIVILEDGE or BLACK LIVES MATTER, because what you would be saying is that white paper is privileged and black ink is alive. Sounds rather nonsensical and illogical, don’t you think? Of course, liberals, rioters and looters would not be able to understand the logic. Here is a fact, every single human living on planet Earth has color pigmentation to their skin and hair, but in different amounts or to a different degree. Except, people who are albino, meaning that they are lacking pigmentation to their skin and hair, and are almost white. Their eyes are also sensitive to light…

Who are the wealthiest people in America; because, this is usually what all the hullaballoo is about? Many of this privileged class, made their wealth, the old-fashioned way: they earned it. These are the industrialists, entrepreneurs, inventors, bankers, Hollywood, and the sports world. Some of these folks deserve their wealth and some, I’m not so sure about. The creators and inventors of tangible goods or services that help humanity, like construction of housing and manufacturing and food production, they deserve what they have earned. People who manage banks and funds honestly, they deserve what they earn. Now then, we have money manipulators, like the scumbag, George Soros, and others, who take investors’ money fraudulently like Ponzi schemer, Bernie Madoff. They not only do not deserve the money they stole; they should be incarcerated in some supermax prison!

Professional sports and Hollywood are the two categories I have the biggest problem with, because, they are the biggest herd hypocrites and liars!

Talk about privilege, in the case of sports, it ain’t all white. It’s actually Black & some White privilege, but mostly BLACK. Baseball, Basketball and Football, on a professional level have made black Americans multi-millionaires. You can even throw Soccer into the mix. And yet, black multimillionaire athletes are out there with the protestors, screeching loudly as though they are being oppressed. Yes, we the majority, have forced black athletes to be multimillionaires. Talk about phony hypocrites. Think about this one example: Apr 02, 2019 · Stephen Curry, this man-child, signed a 5-year deal for a few bucks over 200 million dollars, with the Golden State Warriors, for what, bouncing a damned ball and tossing it into a hoop.

That is about an amount that an army of 5000 men would be paid to go to war, get wounded or killed, while defending our country, at about $40,000 per man. Police Officers make a little more than the military, maybe $80,000/year. So that would pay for 2500 Officers. Say that doctors make twice as much as cops, that would give us 1,250 doctors. Now, does Little Steph defend our country in the military? NO! Does he protect rich and poor alike, as a cop, when they need help in the dark of night? NO! Does he save lives and take care of the sick and disabled and maybe do heart surgery? Absolutely NO! So, why does he get paid all that money? Because, he knows how to bounce a damned basketball!

The same goes for all the liberal elites of Hollywood. Not all, mind you. There are a few that are actually patriotic and do a lot of good. Unfortunately, for the most part, over 80%, that’s the elites of Hollywood who don’t even hide their disdain for our president, for our country and flag, nor for all the average citizens who don’t think or believe their way, even though we spend millions to see their faces on the big screen. These lefty elites also support all efforts to vilify our president and everybody else who does not ascribe to their Socialist ideology; oh hell, make that Communist ideology. Here again, hundreds or maybe thousands of people who do no more than parrot lines, written for them by others, get paid in the millions. They live in multimillion-dollar estates in gated communities and are all therefore against a southern border wall. After all, they don’t need ‘no stinking wall’. They already got one. And you know, NO illegal aliens are going to be allowed inside their compounds, unless they are hired to clean up after them.

The next bunch of phony millionaire elites are of course, our elected officials. The Washington swamp is full of them, black, white, liberal, conservative, atheist, Christian, Muslim and now even Communist. Many of them are settled in for a life at the expense of the American people. But it wasn’t always like that. Way back in the days of Washington, Jefferson and on, all the way through Lincoln, perhaps even later, elected officials spent three to five months in Washington, DC and then they all returned to their homes, to their real jobs and farms to work and earn money. They would till the land and plant crops, then harvest and sell their crops and stock to keep their business going. They were NOT politicians for life, like today’s freeloading manipulators that wallow in the Washington DC swamp such as Pelosi, Schumer, Biden, and Obama.

Have you ever noticed how the Liberal establishment likes to use color as a weapon, especially, if it helps them pit so-called Blacks against us dastardly so-called Whites? Now, think of what would happen if we took away color as a weapon from those smug elitist Liberals? They couldn’t for instance use the old Whites against Blacks formula, because as I have shown above, we are all people of color. So, the Black vs White formula could no longer work. They would have to come up with some other sort of nomenclature or formulae. They would also have to take a closer look at who they are really attacking and blaming, and they would discover that ‘THEY’ also belong to one of the categories that they are constantly attacking.

One’s ethnicity should not be reduced to a simple color on a chart, where certain folks of minority ancestry are always elevated above the Dastardly Whites, who really don’t exist. As I stated before, why are all ‘light-skinned’ Europeans dumped into a single bucket and labelled as white, when people from the rest of the world, get a special category? For instance, Pacific Islanders, who happen to be the smallest ethnic group on the planet, have their own category, whereas Chinese, Japanese, Koreans and Vietnamese are all lumped into one category, Asian-Americans, just like Europeans. The truth is, we are all, that is all inhabitants of Planet earth, very distinct one from another. So, how about making a much clearer distinction between all of us and not lumping us willy-nilly into giant buckets, to make it easy for Liberals to use these distinctions to attack some of us, while protecting others, whenever convenient?

By the way, what has happened in America that has made Liberalism the norm, when in fact, Liberals are the ones who have decided that Americans who are Conservative, are not normal and are some sort of outcasts, when in fact Liberals are the ones who have conspired to steal the direction this country has been taking. And, to be certain, even Liberals are really no longer liberal, they have metastasized into Socialists, aka, Communists. They have in fact taken a direction that Europe has tried and discovered that it didn’t work.

Only about a hundred years ago, the former Russian Empire was taken over by the Bolsheviks, who were the forerunners of the communists. They had decided that what the Czar was doing was so terrible, that they executed him, and his whole family, and Communism was born. While Tzar Nikolas might have had a few hundred revolutionaries executed, when the Bolsheviks took over, they killed their countrymen by the thousands. In fact, these marvelous Bolsheviks actually had each other killed off whenever they felt threatened.

Eventually Comrade Joseph Stalin, aka, Uncle Josef (except, he wasn’t sleepy), came along and straightened them all out, by sending millions to their demise. Interestingly, just recently, one of the elite leaders of the Black Lives Matter, has stated that, to even out the playing field, a number of White citizens would have to be gotten rid of; yes, killed. Funny how the mainstream media never reported on this fact. Because, they are still kowtowing to this illegitimate movement.

Stalin by the way, was ‘elected’ by the Soviet people. The problem was, he was by then, the only candidate on the ballot. Stalin was a scheming, blood-thirsty butcher who got rid of all his opponents by having them disappeared (killed). A very insecure dictator, he had literally hundreds of opponents killed, who he felt were a danger to his reign. However, the biggest number of humans killed were actually millions of Russian citizens. That figure is between 28 and 65 million. Compared to Stalin, most other dictators were and are mere amateurs, except for Mao-tze-Dung (or Mao Zedong) of Red China. This hero of the Red Chinese managed to have killed between 40 and 75 million of his own people. The reason why the figures are not exact, is because dictators don’t keep very accurate books. By the way, during Stalin’s reign of terror, whole villages in Siberia were razed and the dead inhabitants bulldozed into mass graves, which make for inaccurate counts of dead bodies.

When I wrote Red Chinese in the above paragraph, this was NOT a description of their skin pigmentation. There are really no Chinese people with Red skin. I was alluding to their political affiliation: Red was meant to indicate that they were Communists, in this case.

Imagine, between these three murderous dictators of the 20^th century, Hitler, Stalin and Mao Zedong, they managed to send to the otherworld between 78 and 150 million folks. And, every one of them was a Socialist of one ilk or another. Hitler was a ‘National Socialist’. Stalin was a ‘Soviet Socialist’ and Mao was a ‘Chinese Socialist or Communist’. Are you getting the message yet? All these dictators promised equality and sharing of the wealth of their Socialist Empires. Add to these three big league butchers, Castro of Cuba, Kim Il-Sung (Kim Sung-Ju) of North Korea, Ho Chi Minh of North Vietnam and now, Nicholas Maduro of Venezuela. We are just starting to hear about civil unrest in Brazil. I guess people are slowly waking up to the fact that what Liberal and Socialist (Communist) politicians promised them, has not always come to fruition.

So, you understand, there are a variety of philosophical and socioeconomic versions of Communism. In the end however, they all end up looking pretty much the same.

Here is a brief description from the web: “Communism is a philosophical, social, political, economic ideology and movement whose ultimate goal is the establishment of a communist society, namely a socioeconomic order structured upon the ideas of common ownership of the means of production and the absence of social classes, money and the state.”

Here are some simple facts: It all started with Marxism. Then came Leninism and finally Stalinism. The end result was, none of these isms came through with their promises, and, they all ended killing a great number of innocent people, simply because they either didn’t understand, or, didn’t agree with what was being forced on them.

We have come full-circle. We now have Black Lives Matter, a new version of Communism. And this time, it is all based on a misguided attempt by some to rectify ‘imagined’ systematic racial discrimination. This time, the Communist leaders of the BLM movement are using color as a weapon and a means of separating racial groups for their own purposes, by their own admission. People who run BLM and went out of their way to encourage the looting and destruction of American cities, should all be prosecuted and locked up alongside the do-nothing politicians who allowed the destruction to happen!

Here are some statements from deep thinking African American leaders. 1 – Some Whites May ‘Have to Die’ for Betterment of Black Community, Says College Employee Irami Osei-Frampong — a philosophy graduate student employed by the university of Georgia as a teacher’s assistant. 2 – Black Lives Matter co-founders Alicia Garza, Opal Tometi and Patrisse Cullers admit that they are trained Marxists, aka Communists. 3 – Steve Harvey Calls BLM Protests “One of the Greatest Movements Since the Civil Rights Movement”. 4 – Colin Kaepernick, the disgraced ex-NFL player has become a BLM activist, mainly because, he forgot how to play football, and has as well forgotten that, he was raised by light skinned family whose ancestors might have emigrated from Germany. He has also forgotten that, he received free education and then was offered millions to play football, all from those dastardly, light-skinned people, he calls white. As a matter of fact, had he not grown that humongous Afro, people might have thought that he had come from Europe, because he is fairly light skin tone. As you have seen on nationwide TV, BLM has joined forces with Antifa, the phony organization that claims they are anti Fascists, when in fact, they are nothing but communist thugs.

No wonder that every day, ordinary, working African Americans are being terrorized by BLM and Antifa, as their businesses are looted and destroyed, and their earning abilities disappear. With all the police officers resigning all over the country, BLM’s dream may come true. However, it will only be the beginning of our nightmare. Everyone pray, that there won’t be a civil war.

Wake up people of the United States before it’s too late and one morning you will wake up to find yourself living in the SSA – Socialist States of America, or possibly, CSA, or Communist States of America. In California, we are almost already there, with Comrade Pompadour Newsome at the helm of SSC or Socialist State of California. It Matters Not what color you are or what your ancestry is, if you do not agree with these terrorists, they will come for you!

Here is the latest. The 49ers Levi Stadium in Santa Clara, California is now giving legitimacy to a terrorist organization, by proudly flying the flag of the Black Lives Matter terrorist organization, right next to the flag of the USA and NFL as well as their own. I wonder how long, before the 49ers management imbeciles will raise the flag of ISIS, Hezbollah, El Shabab and maybe even Red China above their stadium to give those enemies of the United States, legitimacy? In case you didn’t know, those are the flags of just some of our enemies. Hey, you know what, we don’t need no stinking enemies from the outside attacking our way of life, we have them right here at home, inside our country, trying to dismantle a system that has worked rather well for almost 250 years.

Isn’t it amazing that when terrorist organizations want to unite to terrorize common folks, they aren’t too worried about the skin color of their terrorist brethren? So long as you are willing to terrorize, they don’t care what color you are!

Double Double, Wuhan in Trouble

June 9, 2020 by George Kapus Leave a Comment

Since COVID-19 plunged the whole world into darkness, it was like our world had ended and a new and dangerous one replaced it! One day, you are living a reasonably normal life, and the next, you are panicking in a pandemic. This of course, forced everyone to be quarantined and to wear a mask whenever venturing outside of their home. It also meant that everybody had to wash their hands whenever they returned from errands. It felt like, overnight, we found ourselves living in an alternate and dark universe, where the old rules no longer applied. So, what was the cause of this transformation? What was COVID-19 and where did it come from?

The simple answer is it came from Red China. And NO, you are not xenophobic for believing it. The Wuhan Virology Laboratory is a research institute on virology administered by the (Communist) Chinese Academy of Sciences (CAS), Located in Jiangxia District of Wuhan, the capital of Hubei province and was the epicenter of the Covid-19 outbreak. According to some unverified sources, scientists at the institute possibly became infected after being sprayed with blood (accidentally?) containing the Covid-19 virus, and then passed the infection on to the local community. The infection was originally blamed on the Wuhan Fish Market, also known as the Wet Market. This theory has however been proven incorrect, although, if you got a glimpse of what is being sold and eaten at the market, you might just believe why it would have been possible.

To give you some idea as to why people wanted to believe the original theory about the outbreak, let us take a closer look at the Wet Market and what went on in there.

Bizarre (to us) the Wuhan Wet Market Menus Show Over 100 assorted wild and domestic animals, as well as some animals many of us would consider pets, sold as food; as well as some that many of us may never have heard of. Here is why the Wuhan Fish Market is called a ‘Wet Market’ in the first place. Put on galoshes before we wade in. Starting with all the melting ice from the crates containing cut-up parts, it adds to the slush already on the floor. This slush is made up of blood from all the slaughtered animals, fish scales, animal carcasses, and guts from chicken, dogs, cats, alligators, snakes, camels, and whatever other biologic matter had been disposed of, from gutted and dismembered animals. Can you imagine the smell? It would be revolting.

Bill Shakespeare could not have said it better, although, I did change some of the ingredients in the Witches Song, from Macbeth:

Double, double toil and trouble

Fire burn and caldron bubble

Fillet of a Krait snake,
In the cauldron boil and bake;
Eye of newt and toe of tree frog,
Wool of Horseshoe bat and tongue of puppy dog,
Adder’s fork and scorpion’s sting,
Lizard’s leg and Hubei howlet’s wing,
For a charm of powerful trouble,
Like a hell-broth boil and bubble.

Double, double, Wuhan’s in trouble

Cooked up a virus and now they’re in trouble!

…and so on!

I was unable to complete the list of all one hundred or more animals or animal parts listed on various menu boards at the Wuhan Wet Market, however, I managed to get quite a few of them. In a few cases, particular parts of the animals that are offered on the menu board, are listed alongside. So, when you get to the end of my article, you will be able to check out most of the items on the menu board. A word of caution here: on some videos of the Wet Market, buyers can be seen biting off the head of their live purchases and sucking out the creature’s blood and brain matter. I almost threw up a couple times, while gathering material for this piece. Some of the animals would be more familiar as zoo animals or pets, than food items on a menu board.

“…Lions and tigers, and Koala bears, oh my…”

One of the main sanitary issues that exists, is that live animals are allowed to intermingle with the slaughtered animal parts, at the Wet Market. I am certain that the USDA would not certify any of the offerings.

Now, let us take a look at what went on at the Wuhan Institute of Virology. The researchers not only did DNA sequencing for a SARS-CoV-2 virus, but then combined or spliced it with DNA from Horseshoe bats, and perhaps other animals as well. And these bats, did not come from the Wuhan Wet Market as originally claimed, nor were they acquired in the vicinity of Wuhan. The Horseshoe Bats were in fact captured more than 1,000 miles away in caves located somewhere, deep in the wilderness of the Yunnan province. The research team had kept the location of these caves a secret. The leader of the research team and also leader of these expeditions, Shi Zhengli, is called Batwoman by her colleagues, for good reason. These bats have in fact been linked to several viral epidemics over the years. And, she is in fact responsible for the gene sequencing and splicing that created the COVID-19 virus, as well as others. There is also evidence that her work was done at the behest of the CCP or the Chinese Communist party.

Here is a twist to how the virus might have been transmitted. Some scientists claim that bats transmit the SARS-COV virus to civet cats where it mutates itself to be able to infect humans. You will see that civet cats are one of the items on the Wuhan Wet Market menu. To add another element to the Wuhan mess, it has been known and observed that some of the researchers, after they are done with various test animals, they go and sell them at the Wuhan Wet Market to be sold as menu items. Which is why, the initial word out of Wuhan was that, the epidemic started at the Wet Market. That theory was later retracted. So was the theory that some infected researchers had carried the viral infection to the market and infected the people they came into contact with. It was suggested that, these researchers might have gotten infected by accidentally coming in contact with infected blood samples.

The following came from the web: “The Chinese Communist Party (CCP) admitted late last week (around early May 2020) that it had destroyed coronavirus lab samples during the initial months of the outbreak, which originated in Wuhan, China…” In other words, they were destroying the evidence!

Here are some more interesting facts about the Covid-19 outbreak. Batwoman, or Dr. Shi Zhengli, was silenced by the Chinese Communist Party when she in fact wanted to release information regarding the Coronavirus at the time of the original outbreak. Soon thereafter, Major General Chen Wei, 54, of the People’s Liberation Army (PLA), was appointed by CCP to clean up the mess created by the researchers at the Wuhan Laboratory. She just happens to be the epidemiologist in charge of the Communist Chinese Military’s Bio-Weapons program; you know, the ones weaponizing viruses and such. Hello, Is it perhaps possible, that the information was not supposed to get out, but due to the outbreak is how the world became aware of it?

While the Coronavirus Quarantine is now in its fourth month, there have been a couple of developments that have helped some patients of the virus, recover. Although, medical personal, the left-leaning media and politicians have been attacking the uses of certain drugs, even though they showed promise if the case was caught in its early stage, even President Trump had one of these prescribed for him. You have Hydroxychloroquine which has been used to treat Malaria since the 1940’s and has been approved by the FDA. Some doctors have prescribed it for certain COVID-19 patients. It has worked in some cases, but not all cases. Another drug by the name of Ivermectin, has long been used to treat parasites, and is now showing good results in treating certain coronavirus patients in a number of trials around the globe, including a couple locations in the US. Of course, research is going on at a frantic pace at almost all big pharmaceuticals in the US as well as around the world to find the CURE. Some say, they are very close, but NO vaccine has yet to be announced (as of this writing) that will cure the dreaded virus.

In so far as SIP (Sheltering In Place) there is a possibility that the quarantine may get lifted around June 1^st, possibly by June 15^th at the latest, except perhaps in California, where Dictator, sorry, Governor Pompadour Newsome apparently knows better than the President and all the medical professionals in the world that happen to agree with him.

Here is what you have to understand, with fifty individual states, fifty individual experiments are taking place and more than likely, there will be fifty different solutions found, perhaps more, depending on population numbers, population density and living conditions. What might work for say, Montana or Arizona, might not necessarily work for California or New York. As a matter of fact, some solution that might work for rural California, might not work for San Francisco. Or a solution for Upstate New York, will not work for densely populated New York City. Patience will be the key to making any solution work. Follow the rules and we will all make it through this devastation. And if in doubt, wear your mask, socially distance yourself and wash your hands.

There are certain conspiracy theorists who claim that the release of the COVID-19 virus may not have been accidental, but was done on purpose, as a cunning attack on humanity, to diminish our numbers, or perhaps as a trial run to see if it could be used for population control or even as a means of reducing or decimating the numbers of the adversaries. Then again, it could simply have been a stupid mistake by overconfident and naïve researchers at the Wuhan Virology Lab. Either way, the CCP tried to cover it all up and destroyed the evidence which delayed our efforts at stopping the contagion, finding a cure, and causing the unnecessary death of almost 345,000 patients worldwide, while infecting about 5,400,000. Of those infected, approximately 2,750,000 have recovered so far.

In Contra Costa County, from around 1300 cases, there were 33 deaths, the lowest numbers in California, to this date. While the total for California to this date is 90,800 cases, with about 3900 deaths, compared to New York State with 390,000 cases and 23,350 deaths. These are of course approximations as the pandemic is still ongoing, and bottom line, even the loss of one life is sad and could have been prevented.

Now, here is something about the mortality numbers which might explain why they are what they are. I just got through listening to a press conference from the Illinois State House, wherein a state health official was explaining how COVID deaths were calculated. She in fact admitted that if a teenager died in a car crash and was shown to have the COVID-19 virus in his system at the time, his death would be attributed to COVID-19, even though he was actually killed by the car crash. This individual also stated that if a senior in a senior care facility died of an existing condition such as pneumonia, heart-attack or cancer but was shown to have the COVID-19 virus in his/her system, he, or she, would be counted as a COVID-19 death. So, according to this Healthcare Professional, no matter what really killed you, if you had the misfortune to also have the Coronavirus in your system at time of death, you were considered a COVID-19 casualty. Is this possibly why the COVID-19 Mortality figures are so high?

By comparison, Influenza, or the common Flu has infected 65 to 80 Million Americans and killed as many as 46,000 since October of 2019 (as of early May). Now, if some of these deaths are purposefully attributed to the Coronavirus, because at the time of death, some of these patients might have had the COVID-19 virus in their system, it would certainly help to inflate the COVID-19 death numbers, while reducing the Influenza death numbers. And yet, common influenza appears to have infected more Americans than the Coronavirus. It is well worth taking a closer look at what the true numbers would tell us if they were not being manipulated and inflated by certain factions, and, for their own purposes.

As of May 28, 2020, California has reached a landmark 100,000 cases of COVID-19 and the US has reached 100,000 COVID-19 Deaths. These numbers were plastered all over the web as though this was some kind of score, maybe for the morons in the mainstream media! Nuff said!

Let us take a look at some interesting facts. Early on, when President Trump shut down airline travel from China, he was labelled xenophobic. Now, those very same, self-righteous individuals are saying that he acted too slowly. Early on, Dr. Fauci stated that if the country is not quarantined and all work does not cease, as many as 2 to 2.5 million Americans could die from COVID-19. And, the mainstream media howled at the president to listen to the experts. Trump listened and did as he was advised, and only 100,000 people died. But now, according to the mainstream media, it is Trump’s fault because he did not listen to the experts soon enough. Then, Dr. Fauci said to shut down the whole country. Now, he says to open it up as soon as possible. Is it possible that sometimes, the experts are uncertain and do NOT know what they are talking about? Perhaps, we need to get NEW experts aboard.

I was not going to write about contagion in general nor by means of hard surfaces such as counters at the grocery store or the bank; but here it goes. What I was taught, way back in the 1960s, and what I believe to this day is that for a virus or bacterium to be transmitted to another person, it has to have a means of staying alive. That means is moisture. For example, when a person sneezes who happens to have a cold or flu, or virus, that pathogen has to have a means or vehicle to travel from the infected person to you, such as moisture. The pathogen stays alive while enveloped in moisture as it travels from the infected person to you. On a normal day, the breath of the infected person will stay moist long enough, so that whatever pathogen they are transmitting, will get into your system as you are opening your mouth to take a breath of your own. Which is why, at you family Christmas party, one foolish uncle, aunt, or child, can give the cold to half of the people present.

However, on a warm, sunny day, that same individual with a cold, would have to stand really close to you for their sneeze to affect you. If they are five to six feet away and sneeze, the moisture within that sneeze will evaporate before it gets near you, eliminating the pathogen, thanks to the heat from the sun.

Remember, organisms such as bacterium and virus, must be attached to living tissue to survive and multiply. The moisture in an infected person’s breath or sneeze, keeps those organisms alive until they reach their target, your mouth or nose, and from there are carried to your lungs and respiratory system and start to multiply, giving you the infection. This applies to solid surfaces such as counter tops or tables, or what have you. If an infected person were to lick the hard surface, and you are dumb enough to follow suit and lick it yourself, you will more than likely absorb whatever organisms their saliva contained. If, however, they lick that surface and their saliva evaporates before you have a chance to follow suit, the organisms in their saliva would have perished when the moisture evaporated, and before you had a chance to lick.

This does not mean that you should go around licking counters and tabletops. There are plenty of allergens and dirt that can still make you sick that don’t need to be contained in moisture. So, for the COVID-19 virus, chances are that if you stay at least six feet away from an infected person and your face is protected by a face mask, you have a particularly good chance to NOT get infected. Oh, and don’t forget to wash your hands, just in case you have touched a hard surface that somebody has just licked, and then, you go and rub your eyes!

Of course, the above is just my own educated theory, and could be wrong.

I’ve Read a Lot of Books. Then One Day, I Wrote One

June 1, 2020 by George Kapus Leave a Comment

I started reading at an early age. Now, I know that a lot of you out there, might claim the same thing. I started at about age four. I was born during World War II, in April of 1942, back in the Stone Age in so far as technology goes. My dad told me that evening entertainment in those days consisted of listening to the radio or reading. We lived in Budapest, Hungary, which was a very sophisticated metropolis with numerous libraries and bookstores. So, my parents had a nice collection of current editions and classics as well, in the bookcase of our fourth story apartment. By 1944 winter, the war which had been raging all over the world, suddenly threatened our rather peaceful existence.

Adolph Hitler, the murderous leader of Nazi Germany forcibly took over our government and was running our country. Something no one had asked for. So, as the Christmas Holidays of 1944 came and went, the citizens of Budapest were warned that Stalin’s Army was but 25 kilometers from the city, ready to take out Hitler and his minions. As a momentary truce was declared, it gave Hitler a few days to escape with his tail between his legs. My parents decided that, just in case something went wrong, we could be stuck in the eye of the storm. So, it was time to get out of town. In the spring of 1945, we joined a long line of refugees heading for the Austrian border. Just like them, my parents had decided that it would be best to sit out the rest of the war, in a safer place. As we crossed the border, we were met by the US Army that promptly put us on a train to be transported to a refugee camp in Oberösterreich or Upper Austria, several hundred miles away.

Why the history lesson, you ask? Because, I was an only child. Up to this point in my life, I hadn’t read a single book. However, as we arrived in Upper Austria, at Schmitzberg Lager (Displaced Persons Camp) and had our new quarters assigned to us by the American Military, my parents started unpacking the bag and the suitcase they had brought along. My parents had tried to bring only important things that might be needed in our situation. My mother had brought along a small collection of jewelry she possessed along with some clothing. My dad’s suitcase was filled with important papers, such as their marriage license, our birth certificates and deed to our apartment, along with other documents. He also had stashed in the suitcase, his severance- pay from the company he had been working for, to the tune of 50,000 Pengös, equivalent to about $12,500, at the time (quite a chunk of change), until we crossed the Austrian border, just as the currency was being devalued. All that money wasn’t worth the paper it was printed on. We were not only homeless but now, broke as well!

Dad had somehow managed to line the bottom of the big suitcase with his favorite books. Now imagine, he had lugged that suitcase, all the way from Budapest to the Austrian border, about 200 miles, on foot. He must have really loved those books. As we settled in at the refugee camp, he would read them one after the other, until he got his hands on some newer volumes in trades. He also got his hands on some Hungarian children’s books and started reading them to me, until I got to be about four and I started reading some of the simpler books, all by myself. We lived at Schmitzberg Lager for four and a half years. There was no television and only a beat-up old radio to listen to, for the news. So, for entertainment in the evening, my father read, my mother read, and I tried to read; but thank goodness for picture books. Here, I must insert that the local Austrian administration decreed that even refugee children needed to learn the local language, German, so at age 5, I started attending a little Austrian kindergarten, for half a day. This is where I learned to read in German. And yes, “Hänsel und Grete” (Hansel and Gretel) was the first German book that I read. After that, it was “Schneewittchen und die Sieben Zwerge” or Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs.

After four and a half years at the at Schmitzberg Lager resort and spa, jobs opened up in Southern France and, mom and dad and George Junior hopped on a train to Cavillargues in the region of Languedoc-Roussillon, in the south of France. Auf wiedersehen Österreich, Vive la France!

With the new country, came a new language, new food and a new school. Within a month’s time, I was able to sing ‘Sur le Pont d’Avignon’ and a week later, ‘la Marseillaise’. Of-course this meant, I had learned to read French. It was in the spring of 1949. I was seven. I started reading the French books. At our new school, we also got introduced to poetry. One of the first ones we read and recited was ‘La Cigale et la Fourmi’ or the Grasshopper and the Ant by Jean de la Fontaine.

Unfortunately, our stay was cut short as the mine ran out of coal and all the men in the group of fifty who had decided to come on this venture, were now out of a job. The French Refugee Services started sending people to different parts of France as jobs were opening due to the loss of workers during the war. Again, my parents and a group of a dozen or so, were sent on their way to Algrange in the Moselle region of north-east France, close to the German border.

My father went to work in the local mine, and I was enrolled in the first grade at the Ecole Chemin des Dames elementary school, the very next day. Since I had already spent six months learning French in the south of France, I had no problem catching up with the rest of my little classmates. Even with all the homework, I always made time to read for fun. My parents and family friends would get me books for Christmas and birthdays. Early on, I started reading “Les Aventures de Tintin et Milou”which were hardbound editions of a comic book series about the exploits of a cub reporter, Tintin and his canine companion, Milou, beautifully illustrated by Hergé, in color. I sat in the corner of our little apartment and read, and reread Tintin’s adventure, until someone got me the next volume for Christmas. I eventually collected ten of these, and, I still have them, sixty-five years later.

As I got a bit older, I began reading some of the classics, such as Jules Verne’s Five Weeks in a balloon, Twenty Thousand Leagues Under the Sea, Journey to the Center of the Earth and several of his other titles. On my eleventh birthday, my dad gave me Cyrano de Bergerac, by Edmond Rostand. I wasn’t crazy about this particular book, at first. It was a bit difficult to comprehend for an eleven-year-old. The book was written in verse, because originally, it had been a play, and some of it, I just didn’t get. If you’ve never heard of Cyrano de Bergerac, it’s a story of this famous, invincible swordsman from 17^th century Paris, who had this rather large proboscis, you know, schnoz. He lived for swashbuckling and ended the lives of many arrogant challengers. I don’t want to tell you how it ends, just in case you might want to read it.

Except for the occasional movie, we spent most of our weekend evenings, reading and listening to the radio. Here again, there was no television. That is probably why I learned to visualize the stories I was reading. Lounging on our bed (we didn’t own a sofa) I would read for hours. Had my parents not dragged me off the bed, I might have forgotten to eat.

Along with my Tintin collection, I started getting books from the Bibliotheque Verte or Green Library. This was a publisher of reasonably priced books by Jules Verne as well as Victor Hugo, Hammond Innes, Eckmann Chatrian, Honoré de Balzac and numerous others, edited for young readers. When it came time to pack my suitcase for our move to the United States, I was fourteen, and decided that instead of a bunch of my other stuff, I would bring my favorite books. Besides, I had outgrown most of my clothes and our sponsors in the States wrote my parents that there would be plenty of new clothes for me when we got here. So, pretty much outside of some clean underwear and shirts, my suitcase contained all my Tintins, a dozen Green Library books, plus a nice edition of Le Dernier des Mohicans (the Last of the Mohicans), Cyrano de Bergerac and Trois Bonds dan la Jungle (Three leaps in the Jungle) a book that, I had won in an art contest. I also liked to draw and still do.

All those books that I brought with me from France, you can still find in my bookcase, along with a couple hundred other titles that I have acquired over the years. In addition, I have several boxes filled with books, sitting on the shelves in our garage. And by the way, every book on all the shelves in our house, I have read, except maybe for a couple titles. “After all, what’s a book good for, if it ain’t been read?”

Now, where am going with all this book reading, you ask? After having read a couple thousand titles, perhaps more, over the years, I decided that I could probably write one of my own. I always liked to write, and for one of my Sociology papers as I was working on my BSBA (Bachelor of Science in Business Administration) degree from the University of San Francisco, I wrote a forty-pager, detailing our fourteen years of wandering, following our escape from Budapest. My plan had been to use this forty-pager as a basis for the book that I would finally write, entitled DISPLACED.

However, when it came time to sit down and start writing my story, I couldn’t find my 40-pager; so, I had to start with a blank sheet of paper. I had read several articles on writing a memoir or autobiography and how long it should be. The consensus of opinions was that, it should be no longer than around two hundred. I started with an introduction, which took about a dozen pages. Then, I got a ‘Writer’s Block’. Where the heck, was I going to come up with a hundred and eighty more pages? So, I went back to my beginnings and broke up my narrative into small chapters; in effect, like writing short stories. This way, I never felt the pressure of worrying about how long my book was going to be. I had it all broken up into manageable segments.

Now that I had worked out a plan, I set about implementing the project. I have rather clear memories of my early childhood, my formative years, growing up in Austria, then France and eventually in the United States. I started writing in earnest and before I realized it, I had produced upwards of 300 pages, wow!

I wanted lots of pictures. As a camera was not always available, I decided to create a few illustrations for events in my life, of which no photographs could be found. I eventually got my very first camera for Christmas of 1956, in Berkeley. It was a gift from our sponsors: a Kodak Brownie Hawkeye, an awfully long name, for a very simple, little, box camera. And, let me tell you, I put a lot of 620 film through it, which produced 4-inch by 4-inch images; a couple of which actually appear in my book. I eventually got to the point where I had enough drawings and photographs, so, I thought I had better get back and finish my story.

I wrote for a couple months until I felt that I had a complete and comprehensive manuscript that covered all the events of my early life and my family’s uprooting from one location to moving to another. A good friend, Karen went through my manuscript and did an excellent job of editing this first cut. I corrected all the errors she had found and then, I of course proceeded to add another five chapters. Finally, one day, my wife Bonnie came to stand by my computer and said, “Haven’t you written enough? Maybe it’s time to get your book published before the end of the century!”

I felt that my final cut was a masterpiece, in my mind. My first edition, published by Alive Book Publishing, contains 411 pages, nicely divided into 42 chapters with a whole array of personal photographs and my 12 pen and ink illustrations. Eric Johnson and the Alive Publishing Team created a great cover and final layout for my ‘masterpiece’.

I’m very proud of my accomplishment and am happy to report that just about every friend I have on planet earth has purchased a copy on Amazon.com.

When I originally came up with the idea for this project, I really wasn’t certain that it would ever get it done, let alone get it published. But, once I started, I kept at it and finally I can see my book in my bookcase, alongside volumes by some of the luminaries of the world of literature like Robert B. Parker, Tony Hillerman, William Shakespeare, Tom Bodett, Rush Limbaugh, Robert Heinlein, Bill O’Reilly, Erich von Däniken and Graham Hancock among others.

In those dark and dreary days after World War II, I really don’t know what I would have done without my books to keep me company and to transport me to distant worlds, where I could get lost in the special effects created by my own imagination. Or simply, get a few laughs, when that’s what was needed. Will I ever be as good as some of those famous authors? Who knows? Actually, who cares? I am going to keep on writing and of course reading, because there are a lot of books out there that I haven’t read yet.

So, if you think you have a story to tell, don’t wait around like I did. Start writing it down, while it’s fresh in your mind. Once you start writing, you will realize that it isn’t even that difficult. And, don’t worry about spelling and composition, or what somebody else might think about it. Write from the heart! Write your story to satisfy you. When you’re all done writing it, then you can decide if and when, you want to see it published, so that you can see it on your bookshelf alongside all the other famous authors.

When I got done with DISPLACED, I was very happy with it and proud to have done it. My wife Bonnie liked it too. That made me even happier. Many friends and relatives have read it, and they all liked it too. The reason they liked it, they told me was, because it sounded like I was speaking to them directly. Before I finally talked to ALIVE Book Publishing, I had actually talked to six or seven other publishers who had all given me advice that, in retrospect, would have totally destroyed my dream and changed the final product into a skinny, 200 page story that wouldn’t have sounded anything like what I had envisioned. So, I got it done my way and now, it’s in my bookcase and I am quite proud of it.
