I have not watched this yet as I am late out the door for a match.. Let me know if this is a decent story...?

Quote:Today, I bring you the true story of what the Martin family experienced years back. They described being attacked by a group of what they describe as large wolf like creatures. You want want to miss this!

Quote:The purpose of this annual report is to provide the most accurate statistics possible about serial killers and their victims. The source of this information is the Radford/FGCU Serial Killer Database which is described in detail in the next section of the report.

For many years, the report consisted of a series of tables with little commentary. In this version (2023) of the report, we have included a description of the Database as well as commentary for most of the tables.  In each subsequent year, we will continue to add commentary to selected topics until the report contains results and commentary for all topics.  In subsequent years we also plan on including infographics that will help “spice up” the information in the tables as well as including tests of statistical significance for all relevant comparisons.

It is not the purpose of this report to delve into the mind of the serial killer. There are already excellent text books (e.g., Fox, Levin, & Fridel, 2023; Hickey, 2016) and other books that do a thorough job of doing this.

One of our goals is to increase collaboration among serial homicide researchers. Toward that end, if any researchers are interested in adopting” a current topic or proposing a new topic to provide annual updates and commentary, we would love to partner with you.

Although information has been collected on such topics as the presence of triad behaviors and head injuries, we will not publish summaries of fields such as these until we have collected enough information that will lead to reliable interpretations.

Has the Racial Composition of Serial Killers Changed Over Time?

As shown in Tables 6.01 through 6.03,

- The percentage of Black serial killers in the United States has steadily increased across the decades from a low of 17% in the 1920s to over 57% in the 2010s.

The percentage of Hispanic serial killers has also increased in the past few decades but has remained at or below the Hispanic representation in the U.S. population.

Data Notes and Interpretation Cautions

• The analyses in this section only cover the United States
  
• The race of the serial killer came from a variety of sources such as on-line prison records, ancestry.com (e.g., birth records, Census records, death records), and media/Internet reports.
  

Interpretation Cautions

The information on offender behaviors (Table 6.07) is still in a very preliminary stage.

What is the Racial Composition of Serial Killers in the United States?

As shown in Tables 6.01 through 6.03,

• Across all time periods, approximately half of serial killers have been White, 41% Black, 7% Hispanic, 1% Asian, and 1% Native American.
  
• Since 1990, the majority of serial killers were Black (50.9%) followed by White (36.3%), Hispanic (10.6%), Asian (1.9%), and Native American (.4%). 
  
• The percentages for White and Black serial killers change only slightly – about 2% - when serial killers who killed as part of an organization (i.e., gang, organized crime, or a cult) are removed from the analysis.
  
• In all decades, the percentage of Black serial killers exceeds the percentage of Black citizens in the United States population.
  

This entire book is gone over entirely with supporting verses from throughout the Bible.  

It’s very needed in these End Times.

Words are hard for me to find right now but I need to get them out in hopes of feeling at least a little better.

My mom has a somewhat rare but very aggressive cancer stopping her from producing red blood cells.  There are a number of "treatments" but I don't believe they do anything more than prolong her misery until her body gives out.

The thought of losing my mom is hard after all the other family I have lost.  The maddening part of this is the person who claims to be my father.  I'm sure he is my father but I don't recongize him as being a human being.  The problem is that he is and has always been a bully, attempting to boss everyone around.  Part of this is due to medical reasons but it's beside the point in trying to change him.  What he is doing is staying with mom in the hospital, perhaps 24/7 keeping other family away from seeing her.  Even her own sister.  He goes beserk cursing at them to get out.  

I don't want my mom's final days/weeks, or who knows how long to be like this.  There is not much I can do on my own as I live far away from them.  The reason for living far away is that the father has threatened to kill me as he does just about anyone else who tries to show him that he is an idiot.

My sister is of some help in this matter.  At least keeping me up to date on mom's medical status.  However she thinks dad is a saint and can't help what he does.

Smile FORTUNE No More


I remember back in circa 2015 when they started advertising on TV 24/7 that to me smiled from ear to ear as one giant scam regards to their financials.

I am going to lay out a new angle of thought on something else I believe we've been lead down a wrong train of thought on.

I'm not going to quote Bible verses, since that's been done to death, but I will use Biblical references. 

I remember first hearing of this as a little boy in church. It scared the crap out of me back then. My whole life I've heard that this is some mark, or chip, or bar code, or implant that a person will either receive or deny so that they can buy and sell goods. The "mark" will be placed on the forehead or right hand.

A new angle:
I do not believe this will be a physical mark. I believe this is a spiritual mark.

The Bible makes many references to things being written on the forehead and right hand. The Old testament references this many times. God even tells us to write his word on our right hands and on our foreheads. The Bible also talks about a mark that His chosen will have on them. Only that mark will be what distinguishes His elect, verse those who are not His children.

The Bible uses metaphors all throughout. The "right hand" is a metaphor for one's actions.
The "forehead" is a metaphor for one's thoughts.

I believe the "mark of the beast" is actually visible, today, through someone's thoughts and actions. You can pretty well tell how a person thinks by how they act.

This 666 sign is something that even nonbelievers are aware of. If this mark were to play out as it's been described to us, then even a nonbeliever would be able to identify this mark, and deny it. This is too simple in my opinion. This mark is something that calls for wisdom. 
 
A spiritual aspect is something a nonbeliever wouldn't comprehend or believe.  If i were to present this to any nonbelievers it would get dismissed because they're not even considering their own spirits and the spiritual side of any of it. They're eyes are fixed solely on the physical world, as are most who claim to be of God, but aren't. 

People are waiting for some microchip to come out, or some brain implant, or some bar code we'll have to use to buy or sell. Now some people are thinking it's digital currency.  But none are considering a spiritual aspect. 

I believe we have been given a physical narrative to this "mark of the beast" when we should be looking within our own spirits. We are acting and thinking either in the Light or in the dark. Most of what I see from people's actions is in the dark side of the spectrum. I see very little actions that constitute being in the Light. Most of what is going on around is evil with very little of what is truly good, and selfless and humble or meek. This is the difference in what people have "written on their foreheads and right hands." Their thoughts and actions.

The counter balance to the mark of the beast is the Holy Spirit.  The Holy Spirit carries His own mark on us. This mark is what distinguishes God's elect from those who have chosen to go their own way. Of their own freewill. 

I believe the mark of the beast is a spiritual mark, not a physical one. I also believe we may already either have this mark or not.

As with everything else, I believe we've been lied to enough about this that we have only considered one train of thought for it. We should be exploring different possibilities for something that will determine our eternity. 


Feel free to give any thougts or ideas as to what you believe the mark of the beast will actually be.

The continuing decline is self evident

I intended to post this last month but got sidetracked, so here goes.

How long until it begins answering questions with slurs and quoting sections of Mein Kampf? What a coincidence that Martian Elon names it "Grok".



Hitch Hiker's Guide??





The book title is a quote to the phrase in the King James Version of the Book of Exodus 2:22, "And she bore him a son, and he called his name Gershom: for he said, I have been a stranger in a strange land". According to Heinlein, the novel's working title was The Heretic.


In 2010, feminist sci-fi fantasy Welsh-Canadian author Jo Walton denounced the book as sexist, smug and weakly plotted, saying she would not recommend that others read the book. She also won the Hugo award for her 2012 fantasy novel Among Others.

Here is an unflattering review of the Heinlein biography on the Tor Books site by Jo Walton.

Walton was also active in online sci-fi fandom, especially in the Usenet groups rec.arts.sf.written and rec.arts.sf.fandom. Her poem "The Lurkers Support Me in E-Mail" is widely quoted on it and in other online arguments, often without her name attached.

The Lurkers Support Me in E-mail (To the tune of "My Bonnie Lies Over the Ocean") akin to "How To Participate In An Internet Flame War."

Ok, enough about her...back to the book...

In the preface to the uncut, original version of the book re-issued in 1991, Heinlein's widow, Virginia, wrote: "The given names of the chief characters have great importance to the plot. They were carefully selected: Jubal means "the father of all", Michael stands for "Who is like God?".

Maybe some of you read the book long ago, but this took me off down a left-hand path of mystery hocus pocus as you'll soon see.

The book tells the story of Valentine Michael Smith, a human who comes to Earth in early adulthood after being born on the planet Mars and raised by Martians. The novel explores his interaction with and eventual transformation of Earth culture. In 2012, the US Library of Congress named it one of 88 "Books that Shaped America".

The character Valentine Michael Smith known as Michael Smith or "Mike", the "Man from Mars" becomes a celebrity and is feted by the Earth's elite. He investigates many religions, including the Fosterite Church of the New Revelation, a populist megachurch in which sexuality, gambling, alcohol consumption, and similar activities are allowed and even encouraged and considered "sinning" only when they are not under church auspices. Smith has a brief career as a magician in a carnival, in which he and Gillian befriend the show's tattooed lady.

Mike starts a Martian-influenced "Church of All Worlds", combining elements of the Fosterite cult with Western esotericism. The church is besieged by Fosterites for practicing "blasphemy", and the church building is destroyed, but unknown to the public, Smith's followers teleport to safety.

One of the characters in the book is Dr. "Stinky" Mahmoud. A semanticist, crew member of the Champion and the second human (after Mike) to gain a working knowledge of the Martian language but does not "grok" the language. He becomes a member of the church while retaining his Muslim faith.

The word "grok", coined in the novel, made its way into the English language. In Heinlein's invented Martian language, "grok" literally means "to drink" and figuratively means "to comprehend", "to love", and "to be one with". The word rapidly became common parlance among science fiction fans, hippies, and later computer programmers and hackers, and has since entered the Oxford English Dictionary.



Heinlein was surprised that some readers thought the book described how he believed society should be organized, explaining: "I was not giving answers. I was trying to shake the reader loose from some preconceptions and induce him to think for himself, along new and fresh lines. In consequence, each reader gets something different out of that book because he himself supplies the answers ... It is an invitation to think – not to believe."


Now, apply that book to X-Elon fantasies & obsession with Mars and today's UFO cult belief system that is being propagated on our culture which is also steeped in Nazi mysticism which originated well before they came into power and has been churning in our culture for decades. It's nothing new and the only thing new is how our gov't the past 6 years is so engrossed in it.

Of course over the decades all this gets twisted into new cult religions in which Youtube/Twitter/Fakebook/History Channel, etc, etc is saturated with this crap, though some of it when presented/narrated correctly is interesting in a mythos manner.

The 1961 version which, at the publisher's request, Heinlein cut by 25% in length. Approximately 60,000 words were removed from the original manuscript, including some sharp criticism of American attitudes toward sex and religion.

The 1991 version, (3 years after Heinlein died) retrieved from Heinlein's archives in the University of California, Santa Cruz, Special Collections Department by Heinlein's widow, Virginia, and published posthumously, which reproduces the original manuscript and restores all cuts. It came about because in 1989, Virginia renewed the copyright to Stranger and cancelled the existing publication contracts in accordance with the Copyright Act of 1976.

"Stranger in a Strange Land" is included in Billy Joel's 1989 song "We Didn't Start the Fire."

Heinlein himself remarked in a letter he wrote to Oberon Zell-Ravenheart in 1972 that he thought his shorter, edited version was better. Letter from Robert A. Heinlein to Oberon Zell, Green Egg magazine, Vol. XXII. No. 85 (Beltane, 1989).

Polyamory, Robert Heinlein, and his definitive new biography (scroll down near bottom in comments section)


Green Egg is an active Neopagan magazine currently published quarterly by the Church of All Worlds (CAW). Founded in 1968 by Neopagan writer, speaker and religious leader Oberon Zell-Ravenheart, it became dormant in 1976, before being revived in 1988 by Zell's two wives, Morning Glory Zell and Diane Darling. After ceasing in 2001, the magazine was restarted as an ezine in 2007 and produced 26 issues. In 2020, it was relaunched as an online only publication.


There is mind-boggling number of editions for "Stranger in a Strange Land" from 1961 to 2018, including audiobooks. Between 1961 and 1991, all published editions of this novel contained 160,000 words. From 1991 on, revised editions contain 220,000 words. According to Virginia Heinlein's preface to later editions, the longer text is what Heinlein originally wrote before publisher-requested abridgements.

The 220,000 word version can be downloaded from Archive.org. There are PDF copies all over the web.

Sects Ed PODCAST Episode 8: Grok and Roll (Church of All Worlds)



The CAW is the first (legal) Pagan Church founded in the US. It was incorporated in 1968 by Tim Zell (now Oberon Zell) and recognized by the IRS in 1970. Oberon read "Stranger in a Strange Land" and was so inspired by the vision of a Nest — a close-knit group seeking a deep knowing of each other — that he brought his vision alive with the CAW. He continued his vision of forming community by founding Green Egg Magazine and the Mythic Images statuary company.

While CAW members express a broad spectrum of personal magicks and beliefs, and among its members are people of various faiths, including the Abrahamic traditions. They have a shared set of values: immanent divinity (expressed as "Thou art God/dess"); self-knowledge and personal responsibility; deep friendship and tribal intimacy; positive sexuality; living in harmony with the natural world, and appreciation of the diverse nature of human beings.

The Church of All Worlds (CAW) operates its own website which you can visit here. Keeping true to its aquatic motif inherited from Stranger in a Strange Land, the website invites you to "Enter and Drink Deep." As mentioned in the podcast, church co-founder Oberon Zell-Ravenheart also founded The Grey School of Wizardry.

I was born under stars of misfortune
I was raised by the beasts of the wild
I dwell in the cave of the shaman
I am known as Lucifer's Child

At ten years old did I first taste blood
At 15 I burned down a village
At 21 I was on the run
And today I **** and pillage

I live up in the mountains
A monster out on the edge
My heart is scattered across eternity
Black is the color it bled
My soul was bathed in the blood of my birth rite
Glow of God's Love, I've never known
So I choose to wander, a vagabond
And I'll die the way I was born - as a rogue

I'm the Emperor of the Fire
That devoured the valley below
I'm the lord of the funeral pyre
I bring terror wherever I go
I'm the Ogre from beyond
That watches from the stars
As this ugly world destroys itself
In a sea of blood and fire

Now this is quite interesting.... how to go from 1 million in debt in 2018, buy a 2+ million house a year later, and have at least  8 million now...... quite good for 5 years.
