A review of our gematria wizard called Brother Berg is due. A couple of things bring it to mind now. There's a brand new blog started late August that acknowledges Berg's influence (and Hubbard's <sigh>). Also I've been into anagrams lately.
Interesting that his blog title is Extra Capsa, Latin for "outside the box.". I do like this name. It doesn't through the word truth in your face. It seems to encourage open thinking. It sounds like a great term for a snifter of brandy before going to bed.
"Honey, you coming to bed now?"
"Not quite yet, I'm going to do some reading, numerology and enjoy my extra capsa for a bit."
Curious though, that the blog name is Latin, yet gematria is done on the English language. I have seen some foreign languages pop up in narratives (I'm not just random city names or commonly used words) but this gematria beast does seem to stick to English. And it should because cross matching between languages helps with positive hits, but creates more negative hits.
A quick trip to Google Translate shows me that the anagrams:
Extra Pasca means Extra Easter
and
Extra Spaca means Extra Space
I quite like the second one. As in, the blog is just taking up extra space as opposed to meaningful content. Regardless, the numerology is (almost) always the same and conveys vastly different meanings.
The "almost" references both immediate changing the source wording to a different number by choice of elision and whatever other "cheats" are applied post elision. A quick check on his North Korea nuke post, Imagination=296 in Jewish. Hiroshima + Nagasaki = 296 in Reverse. So we're mixing elisions. Use of Reverse is still relatively new, so it's not based in historical use of Gematria. PhraseShopping with Hiroshima + Nagasaki instead of Hiroshima and Nagasaki, or the individual city names.

Oh, I forget the confusion of the Latin blog name. 4-0. And an indirect Hubbard reference. A direct reference is worth about 7,942,034,211,952 points which is one for each different numbering system, but we'll just add one since it was the new blog that lumped them together.

Uh oh. Mixing date numerology with gematria. Well, that's still against history, so no more points.
And now the killer.
I've never seen this much number shaving in my life. I checked another post and it's part of his shtick. 1692 =296? 72 years 20 days and 7 months 22 days both equal 227 equals Pi? 3/11/2011 = 113. On and on it goes.
When I joined the anti-truther forum I'm a member of I explained that if I would ever get into a debate that wouldn't be much of a date with these clowns that I would say, "Once we get you to the point where you understand a fairly simple concept like 74 does not equal 47, then we can talk."
The largest volume of shaving is zeroes and ones. Simply put, our 1692 example. If it were 1296, multiply the 296 by 1. 296. 1692 rearranged to 1296 first. 72 years 20 days. Zero is nothing. Drop the zero. 7220 becomes 722. Change to 227. Substitute a five for a zero or a one and your bullshit will immediately be called out. So let's ignore digits other than zero and one, pick a topical event and see how many different numbers we get just from what I see from the elisions on the Gematrinator basic calculator web page. Remember, rearranging counts, too.
Hurricane Harvey:
86 85 61 176 229 1056 174 50 103 1620 1760 701 188
And now, by illogical application of rearranging and ones and zeroes appearing or disappearing willy nilly.
86-68,186,608,618,680,681,806,816,860,861,1068, 1086, 1168, 1186, 1806, 1861, and......I'm starting to lose track already. And your deeply nuts if I'm going to go through the process for all those elision results. You get the point.
Now, in addition to ones and zeroes, repeated digits also count. 3343=343, etc.... And there are plenty of other elisions. And I could have used HURRICANE or HARVEY or anything about TEXAS, HOUSTON, ROCKPORT, FLOOD, KATRINA and anything related to this storm or others, movies (Yep, Tobe Hooper - Harvey related) that mention Texas or parts therein.
Ugh.
Lets just call it 20 points.

At least he doesn't have Hubbard's negative attitude.
Final Score 25-1.
I've already figured what to call this extreme number rearrangement. Snowballing. Berg reminds me of iceberg. One number snowballs into a bazillion others. The challenge, as usually the case with gematria, would be to NOT be able to find some dumbass number coincidence.
