Today is the first day, of the rest of my life. At least it seems that way. I should trademark that term, because now that California is opened-up and we don’t have to wear our masks in public anymore we’re free to start living again. I feel like that guy from the musical Phantom of the Opera who wore a mask because, a, well, I didn’t actually see Phanton, but I know the lead character had a mask…. or a hat and at the end of singing all those long songs, didn’t he take his mask off?

The mask that the “Phantom,” Erik, wears over his face symbolizes his vulnerability and the injustice he suffers from, as he is forced to hide his face because it causes too much horror in other people. Although the mask gives Erik some control over his life, as it allows him to decide when to reveal his real face, it also signals that he has no control over one crucial factor: other people’s reactions.

OK, now that I’ve read the plot of Phantom, it does kind of relate to the mask we’ve been wearing the last year. Was I the only one who felt vulnerable injustice in the COVID state we’ve been living in the past 15 months? I’m no GQ model, anymore, and while my mask wasn’t hiding ugliness, I did feel if I took my mask off in public I couldn’t control other people’s reactions. Mask shaming was real. I think we can all agree that the Corona Virus was ugly, like Erik, and yet we’ve all been living life as Erik. Well today, June 15, 2021 is the day when when Governor Gavin Newsome says we can reveal our faces once again unless…………..

I want to go to the bank. Wells Fargo, Band of America, Chase, Citibank and even credit unions (which are like junior banks). All of these financial institutions would still prefer I wear a mask when coming into their establishment to ask for some of my money. If I don’t like it I can keep my money at home at the Under My Mattress Savings & Loan.

I want to go the post office. NO, the USPS still wants me to wear a mask when I come in to mail a letter, package or purchase a sheet of Hello Kitty stamps. I also get the pleasure of waiting in a long line.  

I want to go to the grocery store. Well, Safeway, Lucky, Draeger’s, Andronicos, Whole Foods all kinda want me to still wear a mask when I come into shop for my Fruit Loops, Pringles, turkey burgers and hummus. 7-Eleven might be a little looser if I just need a Slurpee.

I want to go to out to eat. Unless I’m mistaken, most of my favorite restaurants, such as Olive Garden, Five Guys, Panda Express and the Taco Bell Cantina, all are still expecting me to “mask up” if I want to come in and order a little something when I get hangry.  

I want to go into an office building. I work in an office building and yes, I am expected to wear my mask into the lobby, hallways and restroom, but I do take it off when I “do my business” in stall #2. I also take my mask off when I go into my suite. That’s pretty sweet because at least I can now go into the office and stop working from home in my pajamas and participating on a million Zoom calls.

I want to go to a sporting event. Knowing that I watch football, baseball, basketball, soccer, hockey and LAX with my eyes, I don’t have to cover our eyes, just my nose and mouth. That is until I get hungry and want to dig into a stadium dog, nachos and a cold beer…..for $89.00

I want to attend a concert. Knowing that I listen with my ears, my ears don’t have to be covered, just my nose and mouth. At least until I get hungry and want to dig into a stadium dog, nachos and a cold beer…..for $99.00. Apparently, they mark the prices up at concerts.

I want to visit the zoo. Well the giraffes and camels are requesting their I wear my mask to avoid that dreaded human to animal COVID transmission. It seems that new Delta variant is making everyone a little nervous.

I want to go to a movie. However, with the Top Gun movie coming out on July 2^nd, I’m prepared to double mask and wear a face shield if I that’s what it takes to see that long awaited sequel to the 1986 hit starring Tom Cruise and Val Kilmer. Who could forget the epic line delivered my Cruise’s character Maverick, “I got a need for speed”?

I want to travel. No, wait for it, I do still have to wear a mask on an airplane per the website instructions from Southwest, United, American, Delta, Aloha, etc. However, travel restrictions might be a little looser on Spirit and Frontier, but you also might need to act as the flight attendant or actually fly the plane. 

I want to gamble or enjoy the entertaining music at a strip club in Las Vegas. Apparently craps dealers and strippers, excuse me, exotic dancers, both still want more separation from the customer.

Come to think of it, maybe Phantom of the Opera was the wrong mask reference. Maybe I was thinking of the movie, The Mask staring Jim Carrey where a hapless, everyday bank clerk finds a magical mask that transforms him into The Mask, a cartoonish, mischievous, genuinely insane, green-faced troublemaker with the ability to alter himself and his surroundings at will who later on becomes a crimefighter. Come to think of it, I was starting to feel a little cartoonish, mischievous and genuinely insane wearing my mask. Lets hope this pandemic is essentially over and we can all get back to life as we knew it, maskles

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!

An actress starring in the latest episode of Star Wars is fired for public comments she made. Walt Disney movies are pulled from streaming services and the shelves. Rides at Disneyland and at Disneyworld are either changed to accommodate politically correct nostrums or simply ended.[1]

And it isn’t just the Disney corporation that is now finding racism and white supremacy everywhere on their television programs, movies, and rides—no, now even Dr. Seuss is a target![1] This is extremely ironic as Dr. Seuss (Theodore Giesel) lived his life – unlike Walt Disney – as a diehard leftist. In the animated television cartoon of Horton Hears a Who, Dr. Seuss drew the obnoxious Wickersham Brothers as stand-ins for Senator Joseph McCarthy, who represented anti-communism. And it was Dr. Seuss himself who participated in the early 1940s’ version of “cancel culture,” when he pejoratively labeled the anti-interventionist Colonel Charles Lindbergh as an “isolationist,” and anti-Semitic for being one of the leaders of AMERICA FIRST. Colonel Lindbergh’s greatest crime, according to Doctor Seuss, were his attempts to keep the United States out of World War Two prior to Pearl Harbor.

So, what do these recent events prove? In the end the revolution always eats its own. It also proves that if you look hard enough you can find anything.[2] Dr. Seuss still has his defenders though.[3]

You might ask yourself why grown adults should worry about Star Wars, children’s cartoons, amusement parks, and fairy tales.[4] Many adults don’t even want children to be exposed to fairy tales as they are considered to be “silly” and not pragmatic for preparing children for adulthood. Gilbert Keith Chesterton’s classic response was, “The objection to fairy stories is that they tell children there are dragons. But children have always known there are dragons. Fairy stories tell children that dragons can be killed.”

There is a reason certain groups push children into being terrified of man-made climate change, their local police (whom they’re told are systematically racist), and why they promote Drag Queen Story Hour. There is a reason systematic efforts are made to input hatred into young minds and the American system.[5]

It is simply easier to advance false narratives, disordered ethics, and hatred for the customs and traditions of their parents, grandparents, and country when they are still young. If there is any children’s art, entertainment, literature, or popular culture that perpetuates the archaic notion to those young minds that the American system, the American people, and the American Way are worthy of respect and love, then the Social Justice Warriors and Cancel Crusaders are on a mission to destroy those customs and traditions.

These advocates of a “new world order,” will target anything – from a Star Wars character to a Disney cartoon to a book by Dr. Seuss – and ensure it is removed, replaced, and CANCELLED.

The response of wise parents who are intelligent enough to discern what is happening through the smoke and fog of “inclusion” and “equity,” should not have a bunker-like mentality or withdraw from the culture at large. In the end this helps no one. And the Disney corporation and other “woke” companies would be wise to remember that they need families more than families need them.

A parallel culture where children are raised to still love their God, family, and country, respect the sacrifices of their ancestors, our founding documents, and the flag, and a love for genuine freedom of thought, speech, and faith is what is needed now more than ever.

During the pandemic, many parents woke-up to what had been happening to their children while they were away at work or even at home by themselves during the day. Teaching their children at home was a revelation to many how the education system itself has been deceiving them over the decades in terms of the “quality” education their children were receiving. I personally know five families now who have chosen to home school their children in the wake of the pandemic of this past year. Another family will be sending their children to a private school.

During the pandemic, parents taught their children to be more self-reliant, independent, and to use their imagination rather than relying on gadgets and electronic devices to stimulate their brains. Children were introduced to classic, folk, and popular music from more sane eras of our shared history; they read books, watched movies–even movies in BLACK AND WHITE– and played board games with their siblings and parents.

I’m told that in addition to visiting amusement parks and zoos, more families will be taking their children to museums now too. We are fortunate here in the East Bay to have such a wonderful variety—from the Lindsay Wildlife Museum in Walnut Creek, to the USS HORNET in Alameda, to the Museum of the Old West at the Behring Museum in Blackhawk/Danville—these sites, and others, are not places used to instill propaganda, they are there to educate.

This return to American traditions and values, combined with having other family activities–like attending the annual celebration of Memorial Day at the All-Wars Memorial and the Independence Day Parade (both in Danville)—can be our answer to the corporate culture that believes it can dictate what we can and can be entertained by.

By rejecting “wokeness,” and showing a streak of independence to corporate America, we will remind them that they need us more than we need them.

And perhaps by doing so, maybe even Star Wars will get better again!
