Twisted Rings
Five twisted lines link to create a stable ring. There are four in total, and four bridges connect them, forming a circle around the group, four gateways pass into the physical world. Universe (one song) plucks these strings in space to the tune of time, playing the spectrum of colors in mind’s eye. Vibrations ripple out from a point, then sink into the abyss and disappear.

Making Malcolm Barrett Eat His Time Travel Physics Brags From "Only Stupid Answers"...
(The following article is dedicated to Joseph Gerard Polchinski, who we lost - February 3rd, 2018) February 5th, this year, two days after the death of physicist Joseph Gerard Polchinski, Sam Bashor and DJ Wooldridge of the aptly named podcast, Only Stupid Answers, had on that very same show, the African American member of the NBC time travel adventure show, Timeless- Malcolm Barrett. The episode was titled,Time Travel - What Are the Best Rules? Featuring Malcolm Barrett!, from which you can derive the level of intellectual sophistication of the proceedings. After all, forget the best rules - what about the laws of the applicable physics?! Oh, that's right. You see (or you will see), people like Bashor, Wooldridge and even Barrett talk like they know time travel but they don't. All they know is what happens in time travel fiction - which is all B.S. - and the worst conservative theories from relativists in physics - which have nothing to do with true time travel science. In other words, this trio represents exactly why I wrote my article for Futurism.media,Time Travel To The Past Is Almost Here...Because, everything you think you know about it, is WRONG. The key point that I made in the beginning of that article was - "the problem is that the greater majority of it is highly inaccurate and outdated theories that have been rehashed for decades. These stories are then aimed at, or even perpetrated by members of "geek" culture. So, it ends up as the blind leading the blind."

Self-Determination or Destiny?
Self determination or preordained destiny? Do we have free will? Or are we manipulated by some cosmic force? Can we be individuals free from control by events and other people? Or are our lives so intermingled and so woven into the vast sticky web of life itself, that we can not escape?

Life and Production: S1 E11: One Pill, One Patch
Speedballs With the knowledge of the addictive grip which the drugs cocaine and heroin posed, Trevor Lesane applied it to this current problem. He went to the laboratory. In the midnight hour, he tested his theory on how best to prevent, control and end addiction. Donned in his starched laboratory jacket, Lesane measured and weighed the substances. Ten kilograms of the cocaine and heroin remained dormant inside the laboratory. Lesane soon awakened them. He brought them to life in his beakers. He trained his attention on the various plants which mimicked the effects of each drug. As noted in previous electronic journals, Lesane observed that the coffee bean would supply an albeit minimal effect on the user. The sale of either cocaine or heroin or any other drug for that matter never interested Lesane.

Review of 'I Thought You Would Last Forever'
I Thought You Would Last Forever - the English title of Ya dumal, ty budesh vsegda, a 2013 Russian feature-length time-travel romance, now streaming free with English subtitles on Amazon Prime -- is no Anna Karenina. But it tells a pretty good time travel story of broken hearts and quietly heroic attempts to repair them, and is imbued with the fatalistic but deeply human Russian spirit.

Wicca; The Questions, Answered
Wicca: These are the questions, answered. There are good aspects of it, and bad ones as well. What is Wicca you may ask? Wicca is a modern form of Paganism, and is also a nature-based religion. Wicca is a recognized religion, while witchcraft itself is not considered a religion. Thus, Wicca might be best described as a modern religion, based on ancient witchcraft traditions. Contrary to what those who choose to persecute or lie about Wiccans wish to believe, Wicca is a very peaceful, harmonious, and balanced way of life, with oneness with the God and Goddess in which they believe in, and all which exists. I will go further into their beliefs, practices, and good and bad aspects of Wicca.

Brutalist Stories #49
I’m stood by the gigantic door, looking over the crew as half of them quickly set the detonators and the other half desperately hack into the mainframe. “The clock is ticking gentlemen! Need I remind you that the Party is relying on those atomic secrets for the good of the Motherland!”

Dear Billy – Number #1,298 You know, sometimes it’s hard knowing what’s the right thing to do, trying to make the right choice. There are all those different options open to us, all the little different ways that we could do something, and when the morning comes, we have to live with the impact of all those decisions, all those choices. Just like I have to live with mine.

Is the Bitcoin Disrupting SETI Story Extra Terrestrial Subliminal Dissemination?
Headline: Cryptocurrency Mining Is Stopping Us From Finding Aliens, Critics Claim (article). Don't worry the only thing that is stopping "Us" from finding "Aliens" is the willingness to believe in the possibility of Hetlau and the desire to do any research on trying to understand what that means.It has only been around less than a decade, yet almost everyone has heard of it. The new cryptocurrency that is making news headlines almost every day has now found its way into the ET & UFO phenomenon. Rather than spending a bunch of time trying to find out why the first question you should be asking yourself is, is this story subliminal dissemination? Subliminal dissemination or the process of telling you something without you being aware you're being told it has some real possibility with this story. Bitcoin has been around less than a decade. SETI, the organization that searches for Extra Terrestrial Intelligence (ETI) in radio waves has been around almost a half century. A lot more people are aware of Bitcoin though. They may not understand what it is but they have heard of it. SETI not so much. The key to understanding what is going on here is disclosure. The possibility exists the HET have a real problem looming in the future in that in order to perform partial disclosure as is part of their ETA it is going to take a long time if they have to explain to everyone from scratch about such a complex subject like Extra Terrestrials. So in order to hasten the learning curve, the possibility exists they are teaching us about them every day the public just isn't aware of it. Thus subliminal dissemination is taking place.By placing content in the media every day without people realizing the real reason its there is the possibility it gets them to think about Aliens, ET, and UFOs without even being aware they are doing it. The effect this will have is that when it comes time for disclosure the public will already be softened up to the possibility of Aliens, ET, and UFOs. Thus making partial disclosure much easier and quicker for the HET having to perform it. So once you know the possibility of what their plan is you can just look at the title of an article and immediately decide is it misdirection or subliminal dissemination? Once you know whats going on you know those are the only two choices. This is very similar to the hand gesture. Once you know the possibility exists that their plan has them placing the hand gesture as steganography in pictures throughout history you know you can find it on daily basis without having to wait for disclosure.So when you see an article that is subliminal dissemination you know the possibility exists you can realize what the real purpose of the article is without having to wait for disclosure to happen.Once you have read the Two Way Mirror, Estimation, and Prove It Theories, and you are aware of the possibility of Hetlau, you already basically know whats going on. The only question pertaining to Bitcoin and SETI you should be asking yourself is why would you want to waste your money buying advanced computer processing capabilities so that you could timeshare code processing analysis for SETI when you have Hetlau? You could always search the internet for the founder of Bitcoin to see if they are flipping the sign but unfortunately, it's not known if Satoshi Nakamoto is even a real person or not. SATOSHI NAKAMOTOSA = USA (ecronym)TO = TOP (ecronym)S = SECRET (ecronym)H = 8 = EighT = ET (bracketing)I = Intelligence (ecronym)N = NOW (ecronym)AKA = Also Know As (ecronym)MO = Money (porpheme)TO = TOO (ecronym)
