Know Your Gematria Number Manipulation - Triple Digits

 

There isn’t much triple digitery going on in the current crop of Zach’s content.  It’s football season, and the focus is on making shitty picks and covering the failures.  And the last time a team scored 111 points is, ….I’m not even going to look it up to see if it ever happened.  Even if it was the Hoboken Ramblers from 1917.  But if you’re following Qanon style nonsense including your favorite evangelical end of the world type, you’ll get that.

It’s a shame that triple digits don’t make their way to Hubbard’s current content, as we’ve just hit a milestone.  Episode number 333 of his radio show on TFR.  That must mean…. something. Right?  333 is half of 666, and we all know what that means!  And the topic of the show is religion, so end of the world type stuff is going on.  I’m not checking.  TFR is like the History Channel on the radio without having a background of showing actual historical and factual content years ago.  It’s all paranormal and alien crap.

You must admit that seeing a triple digit is “prettier” than something like 528.  It seems less coincidental.  It seems special.  While the reality is given three digit combinations from 001 through 999 it is statistically just as likely any single three digit combo will come up, for example a lottery of some type.  (Do NOT play the lottery.  There are numbers, therefore it’s rigged by the Jesuits.)

As far as 333 meaning something personal about Zach, I’m sure it would be something cool instead of something evil.  333 is far too large as an individual number to be too useful.  A single word or short phrase coming to 333 in the base ciphers is rare.  What you do with 333 is force it.  You either find a story about something else with a Freemason 33 in it and tie the two of those together or find something that happened 333 days before something else.  333 is less than a year of 365 days and although not fresh in the minds of the target audience, the doctrine of close enough applies to less than a year.  Or even better you do both because combining digit shaving for a number you don’t like with date numerology that isn’t really gematria is way cooler.  What you don’t do is attack Hubbard for the audacity of having an episode number consecutively after 332.  He is covered by dipshitmatic immunity.  If he can get away with claiming it’s a coincidence for having the same first and last name as a convicted pedophile, with matching gematria in ALL ciphers, then there’s obviously no point in making light of that glaring plot hole.

Back to 666, since it’s still Halloweeny times.  Instead of shaving 666 to get 66, that one usually works in the reverse.  And in recent days has.  There, you find a 66 and add another bogus 6 to it.  The format is something like this - <EVENT>=66 and it happened <-6 days or weeks ago>.  Blammo!  Evil.  Or the lazy way is preferred by some.  66 simply equals 666 because the doctrine of close enough covers that.

All in all, these things work because the target audience doesn’t believe in math, science and evidence.  And they’re usually a miserable lot that would drag the quality of your life down to their level than improve the quality of their own.  Hubbard used to have a follower named Jake* who would constantly do heavily Phraseshopped gibberish to force triple digits.  Any triple digits.  For example HAMAS TERRORIST is 67 in reduction.  But if you add a couple meaningless but cool sounding words to the phrase HAMAS SIGNAL CODE TERRORIST = 111.  And if that triple digit doesn’t get you enough attention, you just load up more meaningless, gibberish phrases into the calculator and produce a list of multiple 111 garbage.  Psychologically, 111 is prettier than 67.  It looks more genuine because it’s bigger.  The gematria newbies have enough pattern recognition to see that each “1” is the same as the other “1s”.  They don’t have enough pattern recognition to figure out that you have to force the issue some way to make the 1s.

Of all the triple digits, there is no doubt that 666 is the big one.  The most historical and prevalent of all evil numbers.  And it’s extremely that the Sumerian cipher multiplies things by a factor of 6.  So when you stumble on a word like FIDGET that happens to be 111 in a base cipher it also is gonna be called a 666 for its Sumerian version.  And Sumerian sounds a lot more evil than if that cipher was named the “Puppy” or “Jello” cipher.  It’s likely Iron Maiden is named Iron Maiden for its coolness in names.  If they were Jello Maiden, would they still be touring like they are now?  We’re bad.  We’re evil.  We got your 666 right here.  Enjoy your puppies and triple digits in hell.

Gematria Sports Pick Grifting - The Scales Have Tipped

 https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=HD-scRKzukk&t=655s

I like to post about a lot of big picture stuff and how there’s a lot of similar activity spread all around the Internet.  Unfortunately, it’s more of a hobby than something I can devote more time to.  I am not making a penny off of this.  One of the core values of this blog, amidst opinions and speculations, is to point out as much verifiable proof as possible that gematria sports picks are a no win situation.  To educate and inspire others to avoid it, because being scammed doesn’t really do anyone any good.  Other than if you finally learn a lesson that sinks in.  So let’s plop down a bunch of pretty pictures:

Those are all from the linked video for the benefit of those who want a quick recap.  Apologies for not being in order on the screenshots covering one long message.  In the sovereign citizen world, there are regular displays of people getting their power turned off for nonpayment or arrested for improper license plates.  These people “fucked around and found out” that their solution to financial problems just made things worse.  As if it never occurred to them that 

1). These people are not part of an evil empire, and also have bills to pay and you’re making things difficult for them.  Like, their life liberty and pursuit of happiness.  Or

2). They are part of an evil empire and you’re going to lose anyway.

I personally find the idea of sports gambling based on vaguely defined rituals, riddles, decodes, or whatever other conspiracy grifter lingo involved as one of the most obvious nonsensical tie-ins to two disparate subjects.  But that’s just me, and I’ve had a life full of people making bad decisions that they really didn’t want to hear the true voice of reason about their monumentally bad choices.  So I know it happens.  What you need is enough voices of reason, strength in numbers, promoting some version of correct information to get through.  And instead of plunging in right to the root of the problem, simple demonstrations of the harm others have exposed themselves to can do wonders.

At this point in the NFL season, a reasonable estimate of how much money you would have lost on Hubbard’s football picks is about $1500 when placing bets of $100.  And these wrong picks have included some whoppers.

This nonsense about “the scales” mentioned in the replies is an admission that every game is double coded.  Every game has a narrative for both teams.  And somehow, you have to…uhhh… wait until the final score is in to figure out what you did wrong.  Why on earth 🌍 do you even need gematria to know that you were wrong?  But, whatever.  Appealing to the baser instincts.  Here’s a bunch of fed up, pissed off people that have seen a lack of results and are tired of losing money.  Maybe, just maybe, you can tip the scales in your favor and find something else less financially ruinous to occupy your time with.  I hear that some people enjoy music.  Some people like spending time with their family.  Some people like sitting on the porch drinking a beer.  Some people actually watch sports because it entertains them without worries about the evil empire double coding every game.

This Is Your Brain On…Your Brain

Some of us are old enough to remember this public service announcement with an anti-drug message: 

https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=GOnENVylxPI&pp=ygUbdGhpcyBpcyB5b3VyIGJyYWluIG9uIGRydWdz

Symbolically using an egg in a frying pan to represent a brain being fried by use of too many illegal drugs.

This is not about an anti drug message, nor even an anti gematria message.  A “too much gematria will ruin your brain” message is doomed to failure like the so called war on drugs.  This is about the large supply of people who continually think “nobody is stupid enough to believe that!”  It’s also not about people with mental illness so much as how even people with relatively minor brain misfiring can allow themselves to be duped in the short term.

This image has made the rounds on social media:

When I first saw this, I didn’t read the accompanying test before I made a quick reaction, which was a WTF am I looking at?  This image was specifically created to simulate what a person might see when they are suffering from a stroke.  The actual objects get jumbled up into things that are not completely bizarre, but everything looks vaguely familiar.  It’s not meant to be “decoded” and taking a stab at if this thing looks like a jacket, that thing looks like an animal head, there’s a small bed, a gift basket.  Indeed, those are some of the things my unstroked brain tried to decode out of it.

The correct answer though, is the same as the correct answer to gematria decodes.  It doesn’t make any sense.  And for whatever reasons, from severe damage to relatively minor cognitive bias issues, there are people that will not just spend too much time trying to decode what can’t be decoded, they will start arguing and defending their own position.

The bigger picture, the correct answer that can’t be decoded, is that something like sports picks in gematria makes no sense.  For a decade we’ve seen the hypocrisy and lies.  Fairly simple things like picking both teams, constant failed predictions, following sources for news that have been caught again and again outright lying, and doubling down to justify being wrong.  Anything but ignoring the jumbled meaningless input and moving on with life.

This is the depressing world of those examining the world of misinformation and disinformation.  Trying to sort through those that who can be guided to the correct answer from those that are just being assholes to make a quick buck.  For now, by all appearances there’s far more money in putting out disinformation than there is in combatting it.

The people that fall for bad information are not necessarily too stupid, but they are falling for tactics designed to make them feel smarter than they really are.  They are constantly pressed to make emotional judgments to find an answer within something like the above image, that has no answers within it.  There are no bits and pieces  to claim yourself as a winner for being right on.  This is your brain on your brain, within a rabbit hole of deception and hatred.

Food For Thought

There are people that don’t get the big picture about endangered species.  It’s not always completely about the actual animal being discussed.  It’s also a warning  sign that this particular animal hasn’t been able to adapt to a rapidly changing environment.  And if it can happen to that animal, maybe the environmental changes can affect us humans.  I’m all for not caring about giant pandas too much.  Not to the point where I’m being pestered to donate money to save them, the same way I don’t want conspiracy grifters trying to pester people to give them money with no resulting benefit to myself.  At least if you are supporting an artist creating something you enjoyed there’s a hope that doesn’t always go unfulfilled that you will get more art in the future you will enjoy.

Proper critical thinking requires long term thinking.  A giant panda got to where it is today by a long time of being a panda and doing panda things leading to more pandas.  And when the panda things don’t work anymore there isn’t that same long timeframe to adjust the behavior to old panda things becoming new panda things.  It’s super easy for pandas to not spend time mulling over what the future of pandaism holds; living each day one panda day at a time.

I’ve read that humans are on the endangered species list.  A half joking and half serious attempt to describe how to deal with the current crop of problems that demonstrate our complete inability to separate short term “putting out the fire” versus long term “maybe we shouldn’t be as stupid as pandas”.  Our inability to get along as we compete for available resources.  Some point to the 1950’s as the time when humans became endangered.  I get the point, although I disagree.  Super fast technology advances building on what we already knew.  Shooting arrows at a long distance is far less dangerous to the shooter than standing right next to someone who has a sword approximately the same dimensions as your sword.  Now we can chuck nuclear bombs super long distances and fly unmanned aircraft super long distances from the comfort of a reinforced command bunker.  And Roland Emmerich hasn’t given us any alien panda enemies to inspire us to join up against a common alien panda foe.  That bastard.

In honor of gematria and all other conspiracy grifting I offer this take.  That world relies on emotional clickbait.  Every day it seems that someone in the Zachosphere is promoting their best, most amazing decode ever.  There’s no such thing as nostalgia in the conspiracy grifter mindset.  If past events are spoken of it’s only because today’s celebrity death was a ritual to mock you for a known past event.  There’s no need for nostalgia, every day is a bad day and something wrong that happened will spread like a wildfire through the panda’s favorite source of bamboo.  Most of our problems are the lack of thinking about the future of non pandas.  But how did we get here?  What exactly was the event that put us on the endangered species list?  When alien panda archaeologists examine the remnants of human civilization what will they find?

https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cooking

Humans are way too self important to actually place themselves on a list of endangered species.  That’s because our brains tell us that we are self important as individuals, not as a society so much.  Less intelligent animals have the base desires of filling that ache of the empty belly to worry about.  And the occasional need for dogs to destroy their human’s stuff.  Fire can rightfully be pointed to as the starting point, but more specifically it’s the cooking of food with fire that’s the real culprit.  Unleashing enormous amounts of nutritional value on an unsuspecting world.  Killing off nasty pathogens.  Tenderizing portions previously indigestible, aiding digestion.  Improving the taste.  And now a primary part of eating is social leading to tremendous waste as we prepare portions far larger than necessary so we can sit across the table from others and argue about who has the cuter pets.

More smarter, better fed people made more smarter better fed people which made more smarter better fed people.  Which over some hundreds of thousands of years led us to admiring the fattest, stupidest role models that haven’t advanced beyond the stage of panda thinking level of competition for resources.  Now you know why Gordon Ramsay is so angry all the time.  The cognitive dissonance of being involved in this has been eating away at him for a long time.

Know Your Grifter Marketing - JAQing Off

 Healthy skepticism is a good thing.  And nothing says insincerity quite like the excessive use of “just asking questions”.

When I tutored fellow accounting students I did it long enough that Accounting 101 students got to the chapter on Cost of Goods three times.  Unlike what hard core capitalists want you to think, the math part of accounting is not really that hard.  What job placement services are looking for is personality.  What interviewers are looking for is personality.  The math part is a given, especially if you only have to master the rudimentary basics of a spreadsheet.  So, those that wanted to master CoGS, I’d ask them if they wanted to understand it or they just wanted enough info to pass the test.

The second one was easier.  Just throw out a simple algebraic equation with inventory balances (beginning and ending) and purchases and end of story.  The other ones were more fun.  Seeing somebody that genuinely wanted to learn more than an equation with one unknown variable, and achieving the light bulb going on moment.  Those people would ask intelligent questions which related to what they were struggling with.

These days, asking insincere questions is normalized.  The main conspiracy grifters don’t necessarily use it.  They pretty much boldly go out and state right off, “Contrails are poisoning us.”  They’ve moved well beyond the stage of believing in their own product and don’t need to question.

But this doesn’t mean questioning is absent.  The low level newcomer needs training.  A courtship where they are delivered Attaboys!^TM while teaching them that truth seeking requires truth and seeking.  The truth part is completely absent, so what the hell makes seeking think it’s any better?

I’ve encountered several notable in real life moments where somebody has resorted to literally using the phrase, “just asking questions”.  Tacked on at the end of thoroughly debunked science concepts.  And I’ve handled them the same way.  Without actually telling them my reply is to indicate that they are closed minded and just want to be a jackass by stating their stupid opinion as a question.

Real life JAQing Off hits at home and the workplace and people build up what the believe about questioning and answering over a long period of time.  And the topics cover the spectrum of the innocent to important.  And people do a pretty terrible job of consistently answering questions properly.  It might be ok for little four year old Trevor to make up a bogus reason why he can’t have a second bowl of ice cream.  But if I deliberately teach him wrong info about cost of goods and screw up his chances of passing that exam next week - very uncool.  These don’t matter much when dealing with a foaming at the mouth conspiracist in the heat of battle.  But understanding the difference in important questions and insincere questions goes a ways to understanding the socialization process.  Trevor says, “Can I have a second bowl of ice cream.”  He knows damn well he isn’t going to get one.  He really is saying, “I want another bowl and I’m going to pout if I don’t get one.”  Then he does pout and nothing is solved.

There’s some specific lingo in the JAQing off format.  Key words and phrases that get used.  As soon as a conspiracy grifter indicates he’s playing the devil’s advocate, he’s not sincere.  Whataboutism lingo deflects and tries to move the goal posts.  What about Hillary’s emails?  After being countered with all the verifiable data that shows that Trump was a bad president.  You tell your boss your coworker has been stealing for years and everyone knows it and we’re all wondering why you don’t do about it. 

 “So Bill, what do you think I should do?”

“It’s not my job to manage company personnel.  That’s your job.”

“Hey, don’t throw this back in my face, I’m just asking your opinion.”

The new initiate to the conspiracy rabbit hole will try to mask their content as a question when it’s obvious that they have already made up their mind.  Getting a second bowl of ice cream by asking nicely is conflated with how people around react to climate change or vaccination or any common conspiracy topics.  Video titles just need a tweet.

Officer Conner is a Freemason that hates black people!  Vs. Does Officer Conner Hate Black People?  Maybe He’s a Freemason?

Does Fluoride make frogs gay?

Was the death of Richard Roundtree a ritual sacrifice?

Just remove the word Is at the front and the question mark at the end of a conspiracy grifter video title and you’ve already translated the attempted masking of the insincere question.  What’s really happening is a genuine question or two on trivial bowl of ice cream questions, reinforced by encouragement to seek the fake truth always morphs into something worse.

Hey, you mentioned that gematria of 58 was something we all know what that means.  Er, I don’t really know.  Congratulations, you’ve just elevated yourself to a target that might be worthy of more attention.  And once you start putting out insincere questioning video titles, you’ll really get some solid Attaboys!^TM. Now get out there and find some Facebook groups to interrupt sincere conversations!

Of course, lots of well know “pundits” and influencers engage(d) in open JAQing Off.  Alex Jones, Joe Rogan, Rush Limbaugh.  There’s money to be made by not being consistent… picking both teams.  Picking both teams will never get to the truth.

The only questions conspiracy grifters care about are:

Do you believe in facts and evidence?

Do you want to give me your money while you get nothing in return?

No to the first, yes to the second?  Coooooooooool!

Gematria Geography

There is a time honored tradition in gematria.  I call it the Doctrine of Close Enough.  The main practical application is covering your tracks after colossally screwing up.  You just did a decode proclaiming that syncs up Hoover Dam with Hoover vacuum cleaners and go on record that Hoover = 68, 32, 67, 22 in the base ciphers and…

You get destroyed in the comments because it’s obvious to the gematria fact checkers (a gigantic oxymoron) that you decoded HOVER instead of HOOVER.  No big deal, the fact checkers are a friendly faction.  You can get away with tweaking the narrative for how HOVER numbers are still good.  The commenters will even help you with fixing the decode.  After all, every small number is evil and historically misspellings are always counted because the Matrix guided you to misspell it.

Slightly less obvious is the Doctrine of Close enough of when to use the end date or not on a celebrity death.  If somebody died on the 7th of the month, does the date numerology include the 7th or only extend to the last full day alive, the 6th?  The answer - both.  One day off is always close enough.  The clueless masses need to be trained that making up rules and covering up mistakes is key to survival among the normies.  If you work BOTH date numerologies into the decode you have twice the chance of getting that Attaboy!^TM you crave.

It seems like forever ago now, when GPS coordinates being evil was a go to decode topic.  This doesn’t fit into the current field of mostly sticking to just the four base ciphers and maybe throwing in prime numbers to fudge the result.  But actual GPS coordinates are rarely 36.00 exactly.  And whether you truncated 36.53 to 36 or rounded up to 37 was covered by the Doctrine of Close Enough.  Fortunately, gematria geography just got a huge boost.  A genuinely foolproof geography course that absolutely cannot be denied.

Maryland isn’t far from Baltimore.

Who woulda thunk it?  The most recognizable, most populous (by a huge margin) city within Maryland is “not far from Maryland.

Oh we’ve got this figured out.  We know what this is all about.  The deliberate mistake to check on who is so far gone they will defend the cult leader even when something outrageous is said.  And this time it’s not misspelling Hoover Dam wrong outrageous.  There is no doubt that Baltimore and Maryland ARE geographically linked.  The gung ho defenders are making themselves known and are now about to be hit with a reboot.  Time for some new merch.

Who wouldn’t want a Maryland Isn’t Far From Baltimore gematria shirt?  Who wouldn’t want 113 of them?  Christmas in the Zachosphere just got a lot brighter.  And it’s time to update the entire shirt slogan line of merch with other not incorrect statements.  I am more than happy to throw out several suggestions that me and my crack marketing team (me and my dog) have come up with.

——————————————————————

* Ok, that one won’t be factually correct, but I couldn’t resist knocking against the actual What is 47? campaign.

** Zach alternates between claiming he can outpredict Nostradamus and anyone else, and that he never said he could predict things.  It all depends on if he’s in “I’m Awesome” mode or “I’m covering up for lying” mode.  There’s a notorious clip of him on video saying, “I could wipe my ass with the name, Nostradamus.”

Arnold Hits The Key Points

https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=jsETTn7DehI

I found this on Twixter over the weekend, and decided to recap it and add another thought or two or more.  Twisting the narrative into a talk about gematria sports picks.

One of the key points that Schwarzenegger brings up is that it doesn’t matter which “side” you’re on.  Hatred doesn’t end well for anybody.  I can be fairly confident that this is making the rounds again because of the current conflict in the Middle East.  Well, when isn’t there conflict in the Middle East?  There are tons of messages on Twixter daily these days about this.  These are a mix of  pro Israel and pro Palestine.  And the messages of the calmer approach to understanding that it’s not all black and white are few and far between.

Part of Zach’s marketing plan is the extremely black and white “the Jesuits are the source of all evil”.  If he wants to make sports picks for a lark and a couple of bucks, that’s his problem if it works out or not.  Including a seemingly never ending supply of people that don’t get that they’re basing a lifestyle based on everything being black and white with no grey areas.  

That’s part of the design of gematria sports picks.  Every week this NFL season there’s been video content of Zach making sports picks as if he’s mastered the black versus the white, eliminating the grey area.  Yet, the actual Patreon content is a huge grey area where eventually he sides with more black or more white, never getting the full way to the brightness or the darkness.  Listening to his picks is like listening to a toddler that can’t make his mind up what he wants Mom to prepare him for lunch.  Mom would prefer to make either Mac and cheese OR chicken nuggets.  Then unless the child gets both he’s never going to stop screaming.  And inevitably hates the lunch anyway.

Listen to his speech patterns and get some pattern recognition ability.  It’s always, “The thing that stands out to me most is the 23 narrative, but I do like how so and so can stay on 121 career losses, so that could come true.”  Or similar angry, hungry toddler waffling.  He KNOWS he can’t pick between two black and white sides of a story.  Whenever he’s wrong there’s ALWAYS an excuse.  Usually, they flipped the script on me to make me look bad.  When the reality is he looks bad because after a decade of doing this, he’s shown he is bad at it.  Not bad in always being wrong.  Surely his overall stats if ever compiled are somewhere around 50%.  But, bad in the sense that for someone claiming he’s moved the meter closer to black or closer to white most of the time (oh, who are we kidding, this is Zachula, it’s decidedly black) he’s never gotten close to enough evidence to support that.

Sports contests, by design, are extremely black and white.  Ties are rare enough and a long season produces objective proof of a team being good, bad, or somewhere in the middle.  Zach preys upon the black and white of a single game.  Then declares victory at the end of the season for having predicted who will be in the playoffs all along.  And his record on the champions when he does offer a grey area narrative early in the season is really not that good.  Unless you count being allowed to change your toddler lunch after Mom has already finished making it as a prediction.

Like Arnold, I get that there are a lot of people that get involved with gematria because life hasn’t been kind to them.  Seeking a way out of real life problems, pretty much anybody could be happier with a little more financial security.  The idea that you can push the odds in your favor is attractive.  But did you find out about gematria sports picks because you hate the Jesuits, Israel, Palestine, black people or are even just angry at the world.  If so, you’ve got a huge cognitive blind spot that gematria grifters are preying on.

Did you find the weekly recaps of Zach’s bad picks because you hate Zach?  You still have a huge cognitive blind spot.  The comments section is loaded with the heads of the other cliques, ProZac users and other sports gambling gurus.  All doing the same thing, looking for you to make a black and white decision on a hugely grey area.  Team A or Team B WILL win the game (other than the rare tie).  Team A or Team B WILL cover the spread.  Somebody WILL win the Super Bowl.  Being a fan or disliking a team is part of sports fandom.  Being willing to put your money where your mouth is and gambling is encouraged by the casinos, because they’ve mastered advertising - getting people to pick both teams as a group.  You can become a better person by betting in moderation or not at all if you’re going to get all emotional about not game related events affect your thinking.  Moving on from Zach to another conspiracy grifter is not going to solve anything.  You’ll still be left with your hatred and little else.  Yes, these recap videos of Zach’s bad picks are superficially beneficial in pointing out his failings and keeping them on record.  But they don’t pass the smell test on the bigger picture.  You don’t need to love Zach or pity him.  But hatred of Zach and extending that to making real life decisions based on that doesn’t make you a better person.

Your brain is still under your control more than anyone else’s control.  Ultimately, your brain is responsible for what happened if the shit hits the fan.  You CAN train your brain to behave better.  Like Arnold says, it’s not easy.  Work is work, not super happy fun time.  Train your brain to at least understand that the truth community has more people interested in your money than people that care about any message.  You can at least have some money for groceries, entertainment and gas instead of digging yourself a deeper financial hole.

If you need to pick a side, pick yourself for the long haul.  Life is tough.  Freely giving your money away to someone with a proven track record of not producing results is never a solution.

Reality Check For Those That “Do Their Own Research”

 

Let’s just add on

• YOU’VE BEEN LISTENING TO SOMEONE THAT JUST WANTS YOUR MONEY.

Zohnerism

The Dihyrdrogen Monoxide Parody is the use of facts that are disguised by sciency and mathematical lingo to lead an audience to a false conclusion.  It’s superbly effective against a crowd of grift magnetism affected trolls.  They’ve been force fed a steady diet of hatred of science, being a part of troll team that gets Attaboys!^TM for harassing scientific experts like medical topics, and their fondness of arguing for the sake of arguing without being right.  This can backfire, as other members of the group will claim they never would have fallen for that like their cronies did.  And those end up bitter and sulky for knowing deep down they were hoodwinked, too.  This was the topic of a Penn and Teller episode of their series Bullshit!, although being an entertainment show this could have been staged in part if not in full.  

Like the Dunning-Kruger tests of people as a group over assessing their driving ability constantly as above average, this works over and over again.  It twists the conspiracy grifter’s own tactic around against them.  That is, especially regarding any medical topic (vaccinations, diets and supplements, cancer), they use high falutin’ language to sound cool to the initiated.  That’s not just an essential oil, that’s laser initiated chromatographic emulsion fluid.  Just through any random sciency words together, regardless of how the terms might not be compatible together.  Remember, these are the confirmation bias crowd.  Their research is searching for the answer they want to hear, not the right answer.

I suppose I should run through the basics for those that don’t want to click links.  In 1997 our hero, a 14 year high school student conducted a science fair poll asking people if they thought something should be done about dihydrogen monoxide.  Even the most unscientific high school drop out is pretty much aware the water is H₂O.  There’s nothing factually incorrect about calling it diydrogen monoxide.  Two hydrogen atoms and one oxygen atom.  Continuing the misleading story, Zohner included the also factually true comments like:

1). Large number of deaths per year (drowning).

2). Major component of acid rain.

3). Dependency, those that withdrawal from its use can die.

Etc…

The 50 unsuspecting 9th grade poll subjects overwhelmingly fell for the hyped up wording.  43 decided this was so dangerous it should be banned, 6 were undecided, and only one knew that Zohner was actually talking about water.

Yes, this is the exact same hype that gets twisted around for anti-vaxx messages.  But the anti-vaxx grifter crowd has an unfair advantage.  They absolutely don’t mind throwing in a bold faced lie or two, or a hundred, into the mix.  And it takes too long for fact checkers to post the correction as these topics are meme fodder.  People who have no clue what they’re talking about love spreading pretty pictures.

Earlier this year I saw someone post the chemical make up of an apple and got the “oh, that’s dangerous, I’d never ingest that” response.  The next post is going to be little else than a picture to share with the meme loving anti science people that fall for Zohnerism.  Consider it to be a companion to the previous posted reality check.

For old times sake, here’s that message again:

Reality Check:  If gematria for picking sports games worked, the person promoting it would not ever need to ask you for money, they would simply use their system to make money.  The only people making money off sports gematria are the ones with other fundraisers like books, merchandise, Patreons and whining about not having gas money.

The Prints Of Darkness

It’s been over a decade of Hubbard putting out dark content about a nonexistent evil empire.  Like Marjorie Taylor Greene who needs to maintain the aura of invincibility by constantly doubling down on the crazy, every time he’s been rightfully challenged on the failings of gematria as a meaningful system he doesn’t just let it slip off like water on a duck’s back.  It’s time to counterattack and unleash the claws.  And put out even more darkness in print, on the blog and YouTube.

The crowd that’s currently throwing shade on him are…, entertaining.  At the very least.  Effectiveness is open to question.   There’s a tendency to engage in snark, juvenile name calling and occasional suggestions of doing uncool things.  Like openly suggesting that a taste of his own medicine by getting the snot beaten out of him would be justified.  And doxxing his current crowd of loyal lieutenants.  These are the types of things that “normies” object to that has elevated Zach to the current status of notoriety.  Attacking him only gives his bad ideas more oxygen.  It trains other would be grifters that Alex Jones style attack dog content is effective at producing engagement when the quality of the message is lacking.  And there’s always a subset of truthers that will fall into a rabbit hole.

Whether it’s a well practiced act like Jones or genuine psychopathy, it matters none to Hubbard if he is facing an overwhelming consensus that he’s not a very nice person to be associated with.  Everyone is fair game to be discarded on a whim, much less an open display of disagreement with the cult leader.  These juvenile nicknames going around, “After the Fact Zach”, “Zachary Con Hubbard”, “Sweet Lady’s Beotch”, etc….  We get that after what seems like eons of abuse that taking a stand to the school bully is attractive.  But, you could take the high road, point out the hypocrisy and lies and not lower yourself to that same level.

If the gematria truth community put a fraction of this “Attack Zach” effort into finding some way to be efficient producers of effective change, the world would be a much better place.  Even ganging up on “normies” you disagree with could produce genuine discussion instead of the “debate me bro” insincere, views and clout seeking doubling down bs.  Hubbard deserves a lot of respect in at least one way.  He’s provided a template of how NOT to act if you don’t want extra attention from the “normie” world.  He deserves better than getting to the point that you are continually making sock puppet accounts with juvenile attack names.  So knock it off, dial it back.

Unless…

You address him by his proper title, Zachula.

Now is the time where you admit to yourself if you saw that coming with the post title being what it is.

Zachula, the Prints of Darkness.  Surely he’s no fun at live parties, just sucking all the life and energy from a room.  We know this from every time, and I do mean literally every time, there’s a collaborative video with other truthers.  Every time there’s a non gematria specialist and Zach in the same livestream Zach interrupts.  Me, me, me.  I’m the only person that matters in this movement.  Because I said so!  

Whatever lackeys are currently on board are completely disposable Reinfields.  Anything less than Zach being the undisputed master is not tolerated.  Enjoy what flies I allow you to feed off of, but that fresh virgin blood of the clueless newcomer, their wallet… it is MINE!

He’s certainly not destructible.  The current crowd of Zachritics does constantly point out the death threats, suggestions of suicide, the racist speech - all the things that social media community standards says you shouldn’t do.  But like a vampiric blood sucking parasite he lingers on, untouched by any serious attempt at a permanent dismissal.  So immune is he, that he can even put out a YouTube video of suggesting that the entire staff of YouTube be machine gunned down and still they don’t bat an eyelash.  Like they say about vampires presented with a cross, you have to have faith for the cross to work.  If you’re not serious about the community the vampires smirk, snarl, suck to their undead heart’s content.

We’re at a point that I pretty much foresaw years ago.  When a movie vampire starts out it is often just livestock to maintain sustenance.  Then when the taste for human blood grows, the townspeople graduate.

Dead livestock, that’s weird.

Maggie has puncture marks on her neck, that’s weirder.

Holy shit, what is that creepy dude doing to Maggie?

Let’s just wait and see if the creepy dude just leaves.

Shit!  Grab the pitchforks and torches and wooden stakes.

We’re wondering when the elected town leaders will admit that we’re far beyond the blood sucked from livestock stage.  In the meantime, here’s Rob Zombie’s famous song:

Faking the sports picks

While making the sports picks

Stabbed in the back by my Zachula.

Gematria - A Raccoon Whistle

Because dog whistle has already been taken.  The political dog whistle definition relates to a subtle message associated with a controversial topic that conveys a meaning to your group of homies without the intent of antagonizing the opposition who will likely push back.  It’s extremely effective for giving a cult leader Attaboy!^TM out without having to dive deeper into whatever might be factually wrong with the message.

A major function of gematria is grift magnetism.  Going back years ago here I covered how someone created a website named gematria.com promoting laser enhanced supplements, because that makes all kinds of sense.  Not.  It’s still active, has a Twixter account for Gematria Products and lord knows where else it’s crept into.  Although it rarely puts out Twixter content.  As another example there’s a Twixter account for Gematria Records that has never posted anything.

The intent of naming your business as related to gematria, when it’s something totally unrelated like laser bullshit enhanced supplements is to aid in Google searches.  The product can’t stand alone on its merits, so give it a boost by naming it something that will grab the attention of the less than brilliant crowd.  Politically, think aligning yourself with a popular criminal to get a shout out to boost your election campaign.  Employment, think of the person knowingly acting as narcissistic supply.  That VP slacker might be a total pain in the ass, but you’ve got bills to pay and she does have input on your annual salary review.

When raccoons find some lovely trash to steal, they don’t send messages out to a raccoon hive proclaiming the lovely trash they found is available for all.  They probably want to keep it all to themselves, and as soon they develop opposable thumbs the creation of the RA-15 (Raccoon Assault model 15 automatic weapon) is just around the corner.  Defending THEIR rights to THEIR TRASH.  In the meantime, they haven’t developed stealth technology and banging around in the trash attracts other raccoons.  The Raccoon Whistle.

Purely political oriented gematria named accounts have existed on Twixter.  These were aligned with some of the better known cults like Qanon and Negative 48.  But they aren’t terribly prominent anymore.  These showed their whistle in the doggy sense, encouraging new comers to subconsciously get used to the idea that this was a safe haven to go ahead and speak your mind about whatever you hate in the world today.  But the raccoon whistle gematria accounts an Twixter are still thriving.  You can’t swing a dead nocturnal trash thief in that town without easily hitting a sports related gematria account.

And let there be no doubt in your mind, the product is all trash.  Much of the content is busting the chops of the unlucky raccoon that had the audacity to make a genuine prediction ahead of time.  This is toned down on Twixter.  An assault, without an RA-15, leads to a fistfight over the trash.  When you get a full out attack, that’s reserved for YouTube.  The advantages of the YouTube attack video:

1). Livestreams are loaded with friendly members.

2). If there are dissenters, it gives your mid level lieutenants the fuzzy warms of blocking dissenters and leaving just the friends.

3). You get full control of the anti other raccoon narrative, and…

4). … on top of juvenile name calling challenge the other raccoons to call in.  A no lose situation.  They’re pussy raccoons for not calling in.  And your raccoon cult members don’t care about how wrong you are and getting to call them pussies live makes you look sooooooooo coooooooool.

Circa 2017 there was plenty of trash around.  Gematria was fresh, weird and Scientology style exciting.  And the raccoon whistle attracted other not gematria raccoons.  These were tolerated to a point,  But as time marched on there’s been a glut of too many raccoons compared to the supply of trash.  And now the raccoons spend just as much if not more time fighting with each other as they do looking for trash.  The raccoon is out of the bag, so to speak.  By my assessment, a raccoon that remains loyal to its clique is less than two years.  Some of these are wandering rogue trash bandits that don’t have a clue that can’t settle on anything other than not liking being assaulted by other raccoons.  Some of these switch sides to a gentler, kinder racccoon.  Some of these just disappear due to what’s known as “growing the fuck up”.

But inevitably, regardless of where the end up, the gematria product is still trash.  Cryptocurrency, the love of Jesus, sports gambling, laser enhanced supplements.  The banging of the trash can lid doesn’t lead to any increase in quality of trash, it’s just a fresh quantity and a source that may be dwindling.  The quality of trash (successful predictions) is never going to improve.

“Karen” Rodgers vs. Mr. Pfizer - Celebrity Endorsement In Advertising

The ordinary person is an insignificant speck with little hope of making an impact on society.  Especially so now that society is influenced over the entire globe so rapidly.  Running for small town mayor, one needs only convince a small town population that you are better than the other guy.  (Realistically, you are the lesser of two evils.). This doesn’t change much going on in other towns in the proximity.  Kicking things up to a national level, you need wider appeal.  And as the evolution of crank magnetism and confirmation bias based grifting has marched along, the tactic of celebrity endorsement in advertising has evolved.

Sports figures are always a great opportunity to attach a name to a product.  Attaching a familiar face and name to some capitalist trinket is, was, and always will be a chance to have someone buy that car, brand of beer, snack chip or werewolf insurance just because their hero endorsed it.  The effectiveness of change is by masses getting on board with the idea.  You, Joe Average, aren’t going to keep Budweiser in business.  But, if a whole bunch of people like the quarterback promoting Bud, the commercials will probably become a series of commercials instead of a one and done.  The money keeps flowing in.

The downside, our never ending quest to dwell in negativity and engage in culture war.  Maybe the sports baller got a DUI charge, tarnishing his image.  Maybe he beat up his wife just before the DUI.  And maybe he was drinking Coors instead.  These things happen when the celebrity is only endorsing the product and getting a check without sincere love for the product.  Does any celebrity endorsement include actual love for their promoted product?  It makes one wonder.

Celebrities, despite the obvious part of being more well known than Joe Average, are still human beings.  And attention is a powerful reinforcer.  And maintaining the level of attention as age catches up and the on field skills wane or the stardom fades, that’s the prime candidate for a celebrity endorsement.  And the product doesn’t need any real value.  And the product can be harmful.  The I’m always right mentality big a toxic narcissist outweighs common sense and scientific reality.  The quest to remain relevant is now not talking about your good ideas, but by getting any engagement at all, including out stupiding your rivals.  Being a colossal douchebag does get a lot of attention.

Aaron “Karen” Rodgers, a not relevant anymore on the field quarterback has challenged Mr. Pfizer Travis Kielce to a debate.  The standard format of a conspiracy theorist debate.  It’s unlikely that the debate will ever happen and the suggestion of willingness to debate is a message to the lingering supports that says, “Look at me and how I’m such a badass!”  Since big names are thrown into the mix, Fauci is welcomed to join in the disingenuous struggle.  There’s lots of people that don’t like Fauci.  His function for a debate here is poster boy of the logical fallacy of appeal to authority.  Pick a side, evil Fauci or badass Karen Rodgers.  There’s no middle ground.  No actual debate.

In the meantime, Karen has extended his career through the use of the same science he’s denying.  Surgeons able to learn how to repair torn ligaments are fully knowledgeable that vaccinations work.  It’s all fun and games claiming your special and don’t have to follow any other rules when it hypocritically doesn’t suit you.  Hypocrisy, being another piece of the conspiracy grifting, “Debate me bro!” attitude.

And it’s probably not even as much about Rodgers and Kelce as it is about their teammates.  Not their on field teammates.  Rodgers is aligned with the irrelevant Pat Mcafee, famous for his own, “I’m special, I don’t need to follow the rules” incident.

https://bleacherreport.com/articles/496626-pat-mcafee-indianapolis-colts-punter-arrested-for-public-intoxication

And on the other side, Mr. Pfizer is getting way more attention for the Taylor Swift association than the football or Pfizer promotion.  I also don’t think we need Taylor chiming in on her personal thoughts about vaccines.  The entire debate from these people, other than Fauci, should be limited to, “Read up on what the WHO and CDC says about it, they’re the experts.”

Hubbard, of course, has dabbled in celebrity endorsements for gematria.  There was a push to get on Joe Rogan’s show.  I’m actually kind of surprised Rogan didn’t do that.  Maybe he was part of the crowd that figured that although the attitude would be fun for one show’s ratings, gematria was just too weird.  But more notable is how Hubbard has had Jeff Young of Megadeth call in to his radio show.  The Jeff Young that squandered a golden opportunity to make Megadethbucks by managing to get fired from the band after a couple years.  The Jeff Young looking to remain relevant outside of just playing the guitar.

Well congratulations people.  Your choices of picking the biggest, loudest mouthpieces has gotten the US into full blown congressional deadlock.  It used to be more subtle gridlock where you’d attach riders to bills or drum up the votes to get a particular piece of legislation passed or squashed.  Now people care more about what Aaron Rodgers has to say about non football issues or what brand of beer you should drink before not getting vaccinated at the onset of the next inevitable pandemic.

Christmas Presents, Patrsecution And Oaths

 

There's one aspect about the commercialization of Christmas that doesn’t get talked about enough.

Teaching your children to be criminals.

Kids are remarkable tiny humans with a keen instinct for not wanting to follow rules.  If a rule is deemed to be a stupid rule, the child will often lash out and deliberately engage in the breaking of the rule resulting in more receipt of the commodity they desire most - attention.  Parents are in a no win situation, damned if the punishment is too severe, ostracized by their friends and colleagues when the too severe punishment is discovered, and damned if the kid is found to be a spoiled brat for being too permissive.  The only real solution is to not have kids and live vicariously through the actions of other people’s kids.

For Christmas we aren’t talking about major stuff like setting the tree on fire or feeding the dog Christmas chocolates and the ensuing vet bill.  It’s the simpler and more innocuous act, the tradition known as “hiding the Christmas presents”.

Even families that aren’t particularly well off financially make a big stink about the holiday season.  It’s a chance to forget about how much life sucks for a couple of weeks, recharge your batteries for another year of life suckage.  And in order to not have the overwhelming task of wrapping all the presents and finding time for holiday meal prep the presents are purchased in advance.  Part of the presents wrapping tradition includes what is known as “lying to the kids about Santa” and hiding the parent funded goodies somewhere so they can pretend a fat man who regularly engages in trespass, is a terrible dietary role model, and has engaged in elf trafficking to produce the presents decided to reward the children on one magical morning.

Inquisitive children not only find out the Santa story doesn’t pass the smell test.  They look forward to it when the jig is up.  Finding the stash of unwrapped presents is far more enjoyable than the surprise on Christmas morning.  It’s far more fun to pretend to be excited on that morning than genuinely be overwhelmed by the fat slave master.

To their credit, parents are not totally stupid and anticipate or react to that moment when the child has figured out the Santa story.  And this is where the child gets their first taste of, “The Oath of Office”.  Don’t you dare search for the Christmas presents because…I said so?  Game on.  Now the child will look for the Christmas presents for as long as they don’t get kicked out of home.  The parents upping their game to find better and more ingenious ways to hide the loot is far more fun when the parents put extra effort into it.  The bedroom closet is just way too easy.  Try harder, Mom.

Patreon has been a member of the social media Oath of Office crowd forever.  We know this, because they have “Community Guidelines”.  These have not evolved beyond the parents’ closet hiding spot.  Regardless of what social media site they read basically the same.  Don’t be an asshole or we will kick you off.  And as I constantly point out, the translation is always, “Stop, or I’ll say stop again!!”

Hubbard is making a big stink about his Patrsecution, dedicating time in his livestream to share how he’s on the verge of getting banned for producing his amazing life altering content.  Somehow, we doubt that is a serious issue, considering the Oath of Office clearly includes terms about organizing a gambling operation.  Even without being arguably outright fraud, supposedly selling shitty 50% of the time correct sports picks is against the rules.

At the time of this writing, the Hellsite formerly known as Twitter has given me a string of consecutive days where an obvious hardcore porn account has messaged me.  This morning was “Juicy Milf” wanting to hook up.  And the replies to her, “Do I look hot?” message included video content of various acts typical of hardcore porn.  For the record, yes she was hot.  Did I block her account?  Yes, I can find that content if I want to without it being forced on me.  Did I report it?  Hell no.  There’s no point when this type of thing has been going unregulated (mostly Facebook) forever.  It’s a waste of time to report this as the mentality of doing whatever you want has thoroughly diffused through the food chain.  Oath takers who should be enacting sensible legislation promote doing whatever they want to gain the populist vote.  The first order of business for an unscrupulous doctor (if they actually are a real doctor) is to promote the doctor part.  Hey, I’m a doctor!  Here’s some lovely vaccine misinformation for you!  Don’t worry, I took an oath!

If we continue drifting towards a constitutional dictatorship, I’m prepared to live with that and just remain unhappy about it.  When I registered to vote I took on the responsibility of abiding by the outcome.  There’s overwhelming evidence that finding those Christmas presents early DID ruin Christmas Day.

Purple Supplements

I have literally seen every primary and secondary color be utilized as a form of symbolism that the forces of evil use.  The same manner that the evil empire is simply mocking you with a gematria ritual.  Hi there!  Evil cabal member here!  I have nearly infinite power and I’m gonna ruin your sports game by mocking you!  Nah nah nah! I purposefully double coded both teams into a game so some people will always be wrong!  Take that!

When you actually get to the color symbolism nonsense and you want to insult your target the conspiracy grifters encourage gematria style thinking.  In gematria, you see a number that doesn’t suit your bias, alter the damned thing.  Drop some numbers, transpose some digits, use the prime number list, anything to change the number you don’t like to get the number you do like.  If you are running a conspiracy grift that doesn’t use sports decodes or only dabbles in gematria topics hand gestures and colors are a good source for picking arbitrary topics.

So I finally got around to looking into the color thing more deeply.  Although all “normal” colors are picked on, some of those require alteration to get the color you want, just like gematria alteration of numbers you don’t like.  And one color stands out as the most evil.  Although I’ve often seen it said that someone wearing red and blue equals wearing purple, the goal is to look for unadulterated purple.  Decoding purple subconsciously works much better if you are dealing with actual purple purple and not a painter’s color palette mixing red and blue.

Purple is the royal color.  So obviously it’s those damned elites.  Rich people, you gotta hate ‘em.  Nothing says mocking you harsher than a gematria decode of the Minnesota Vikings because of their choice of jersey color.  The origin of purple being royal is because it was literally more expensive.  If you wanted to go to the effort of making purple dye from nature it was only common sense that since the sources were so uncommon it was more expensive.  Snails and mollusks.  Lots of them to get enough for a decent amount to stain the royal robes.

The molecule for Tyrian Purple is 6,6’ dibromoindigo.  That -bromo part is bromine.  In nature, bromine doesn’t play well with other elements.  When talking about vitamin supplements there’s not a lot of suggestion that you need more bromine in your diet.

The first and foremost thing to do to supplement your gematria decode is when in doubt (which since every game is double coded), go with the favorite.  You will be “right” more often.  Although this doesn’t do jack shit for betting on the money line or hedge bets.  But if you’re a color scheme scammer, how do you supplement being right more often?  I intend to edit this and add links later, but for now trust me.  There’s actual conspiracy theories  and conspiracy thinking that revolves around color blindness.  There are people that can’t tell purple from blue.  And a fraction of those people have gotten to the point where they believe purple doesn’t really exist.

And these people, like good conspiracists, have no problem holding simultaneous mutually exclusive thoughts.  They’ve been told purple is evil.  And they’ve been told it doesn’t even exist.  It’s an actual thing where these people who have this type of color blindness call it “blurple”, thus ruining the old joke that poets don’t have a rhyme for purple.  And combined with the cognitive blindness that leads to conspiracy thinking, if presented with a test of what color something is they pick the favorite - blue.  You’re right more often when picking going all in on only two options.  No chance for nuance, your on team blue or team purple.

The color conspiracists have an option to supplement their purple grift.  Blue is the number one option.  Specifically I’ve heard “Tiffany Blue” mentioned.  In practice, just like not being consistent with dropping zeroes in gematria it doesn’t really have to be officially Tiffany blue.  The gematria doctrine of “close enough” applies.  Any blue will do.  Although it’s best to stick with a shade of blue that’s close enough to Tiffany blue so you don’t get challenged on it.  Much the same as it gets more dangerous to suggest 313 is 33 instead of suggesting 333 is 33.

I’ve covered before how one of my favorite color conmen has worn purple and justified his choice of wearing purple for his video.  “It doesn’t mean I’m evil, it just means I like the color blue.”  Well, he’s also justifying other people wearing blue.  All willy nilly with no actual evidence to support who wears purple or blue and who wears it because they like it or that’s what shirt was up in the rotation that day.  So of course, a popular celebrity that is into purple like Prince can easily be deemed as “coding a message into his clothing and music” and not being evil because of the purple.

It does make one wonder if Blue Oyster Cult could have achieved more fame, money and success if they had chosen Purple Oyster Cult as their name.  Purple coming from mollusks in nature.  The evil lyrics.  Joan Crawford leading the veterans of the psychic wars for so long.  Baseless conspiracies are a huge draw, more so than making music that you like to make.

Strawmatria

The Straw Man logical fallacy is a neat little trick used by the kinds of people that want to win arguments instead of actually being right.  If I say, “You didn’t donate to my fundraiser, I guess you like cancer killing children!”, there’s a big disconnect between the fundraiser and the actual reasons for not donating.  Maybe you couldn’t even pay your rent.  Usually something like children dying of a terrible disease is a no brainer, and it’s awfully hard to form a debate argument that’s pro let the babies die.

I’m bringing this up now because there’s a lot of misinformation spread now similar to this regarding the Middle East.  There’s a lot of non sequitur accusations flying around about pro one side means against the other side.  And a lot of calmer heads with some critical thinking skills realizing there’s room for a lot of nuance, with both sides having good points and bad ideas.  Mostly the bad ideas, because hatred sells better in the conspiracy grifting community.

There’s been an odd lull recently in the gematria community.  Some big names that were posting content daily taking a well deserved break from gematria decodes and posting comments on others videos.  There’s no way to tell what the exact reason is.  They aren’t talking about it, it’s impossible to tell what they are trying to communicate if they aren’t communicating.  So my trying to put words in their mouths is also logically fallacious.

But I am allowed to have an opinion based on past experience.  And this is it.  It could be taking advantage of the weakness of gematria evidence.  It’s happened before where a gematria user has woken up to the cognitive dissonance produced by not having the predictions coming true and simply moved on to greener pastures.  Those greener pastures are not spending time with the family, going bowling, taking up a new hobby or learning a new language.  They are the greener pastures of worse content than the gematria content that got them into the rabbit hole in the first place.

Admittedly, I didn’t find this in the gematria community, but it is recent.  The key takeaway is that it’s a conversation between two truthers.  It doesn’t appear to be a part of the shill game.  And somebody has the wrong scapegoat.  Whatever evidence the Covid research had was legitimate.  But now your evidence, whatever that was is bad.  The only thing missing is a direct statement of what type of evidence that is.  But since it’s truth community standards of evidence, we know it’s bullshit.

Historically, gematria has been great at getting people hooked for at least awhile, and then moving on.  Strawmatria, where the evidence of it actually working is nonexistent and debunking is prevalent at this point.  As a part of the Alex Jones conglomerate of the grifting economy, truthers have been exposed to doomsday prep for about three decades now, and here we are still.  There’s always something wrong in the world to pick on.  Now it’s just Ukraine and the Middle East instead of January 6th 2021 and Covid.  None of these events had successful truther opinions or predictions related to them.  All the evidence was spammy, clickbait viral seeking nonsense.

Again, a reminder.  Pre Alex Jones mass emails were used to convince you that a Nigerian prince wanted to give you money.  Phishing for those gullible enough to reach the next level of having your bank account drained.  Now things like Strawmatria are the phishing.  You aren’t a legitimate truther if you use that, it’s dumb.  By the way, now that you gave up your email address for an ad free experience on the gematria calculator, here’s some other lovely content you might enjoy.  Maybe you aren’t going to make an impact on this world unless you join a militia and take up sovereign citizen don’t pay your taxes stuff.  (Don’t do that.)  Gematria is so weak that somebody out there is bound to have a more lucid argument.  And it would be totally not surprising to find out that the lull was actually because they’ve been busy with the Middle East.  The exact same thing happened at the start of the pandemic.

Exactly What’s Wrong In The World - The Bright Yellow Paperclip

The Origin of the bright yellow paperclip controversy starts with the boost in education during the Cold War.  Mainly because:

1).  Keeping up with the Jones’s in tech created more educated people finding out how politicians prefer them to be uneducated - boosting their chances for election by catering to close minded short term thinking types.

2). Emphasized how British English refuses to even pronounce the word controversy with the accent on the proper syllable.

As people got smarter, capitalists found that money could be made on new and exciting stuff.  And scammers found that new exciting stuff could be used to their advantage.  Claiming stuff that didn’t actually exist was actually also exciting new stuff was one route.  But it’s a lot more fun to get into arguments with strangers.  So in order for the yellow paper clip controversy to really take off, somebody (probably the Jesuits, Al Gore or a group of people that love sharing photos of their cats) pushed for the internet to be birthed.  Now we have the perfect tool to assign arbitrary value or lack of value to something beyond what value of lack of value it has.  And we can assert our dominance over complete strangers.

Beginning with the reality section, the bright yellow paperclip is (like Lindell’s pillows are just a ducking pillow), just a fucking paper paperclip.  It happens to have acquired a bright yellow hue somehow.  You can make it from metal like steel, then paint the thing yellow.  Or you can mold yellow colored plastic into paperclip shape.  Either process does not alter the fact that at its core it is just a fucking paperclip.  Strangely, instead of being called plasticclips or metalclips they have acquired the name paperclip, despite actually functions of clipping non papery stuff, cleaning out earwax, and chaining Vicky’s supply of them into a big chain for an April Fools Day joke.

Presumably they have additional functions in being yellow beyond being just a fucking paperclip.  There’s a reason you can color code in Excel - identifying some separated content as being meaningful to each other.  The same way that two yellow Excel cells can mean, “Look over here!  These things go together!”, the bright yellow paperclip can be assigned to similar packs of paper, or whatever, maybe saying, “Look here without having to look through the similar stacks of paper!  These are the kids packs of papers, not the adults!”  Presumably the adults have some other color coding or lack thereof.

And we’re off to the races.  There are people that think bright pink paperclips are better in general, better for kids, an LGBT status symbol, yellow clips are the bestest, yellow clips are cool - but not as cool as blue, and yes, even some that think they are just fucking paperclips.  You can have yourself a good, cheap day of fun at work by starting your water cooler conversation about the merits of bright yellow paperclips.  Because people are idiots and enjoy the combat more than functionality of paperclips regardless of color.

Here’s some things to try out the next time it happens to you.  Argue about if it’s made of metal, plastic, or something else entirely.  Argue about the color.  You can start with the old classic of yellowness, or maybe jump into anything else in your Crayola box.  You’ve never lived until you have Tom sniveling and crying since you called him a Freemason tranny because he doesn’t use Raw Umber paperclips.  You can argue about which country they were made in.  Watch out though, this could lead to a conversation pertaining to actual value.  Cheaper bright yellow paperclips have an edge over similar more expensive bright yellow paperclips.  This can be defused by insisting that only the expensive clips are used in homeopathic remedies.  You can argue about symbolism.  We already talked about bright pink.  How about insisting red paperclips made in Taiwan are actually Chinese?  Red.  China.  Get it?

Once the conversation has started brewing, you need to finish the deal with a flourish.  Do what Alex Jones would do.  You’ve achieved engagement and people are actively talking and wasting their time on bright yellow paperclips.  These people are gullible enough to believe that arguing about bright yellow paperclips has actual significance in the long term big picture.  Take their money.  Convince the CEO that you should be in charge of all paperclip purchasing decisions.  Because these people are friggin’ idiots.  Take your company designated funds (indirectly coming from their paychecks) and waste it on low quality, cheap paperclips - regardless of what color, and pocket at least half of the cash you were given.  This is the way governments work and why government bright yellow paperclips are $50 a piece.  The type of people getting all fired up about the color of paperclips are more likely to vote for you despite that you’ve been sleeping with Vicky behind your wife’s back.

Maybe your soon to be ex-wife can console herself with some fucking $50 a piece paperclips.

Chemtrails - As Plane As The Nose Of Your Plane

Keep in mind the analogy of conspiracy grifting as a multi level marketing operation.  It’s more important than anything else for the top grifters to invest time and energy into keeping a stockpile of new blood flowing into the clique.  They don’t have enough time to deal one on one with the bottom tier of the pyramid.  The mid pyramid folks are a combination of those fully knowledgeable of what’s going on, and newly promoted bottom dwellers that have showed extra staying power.  That is, they haven’t had a friend or relative able to get through to them with a message of, “What the hell are you thinking?!?”  Ultimately though, it’s the bottom dwellers that haven’t figured out that there’s a bunch of grifting on the internet and are the source of the cash to keep the scam going.

Gematria is really good in its role as conspiracy theory light.  The math is not intensive, even when the weird and offbeat ciphers are brought into play.  And even if it was tough, there’s calculators galore so you don’t even need to do the math.  Type your bad news generated, random, depressing thoughts in and bingo, decode!  Gematria gives the fledgling conspiracist something to do instead of responding to something others have done.  And while the top level grifters work on the business end of finding new fundraisers and emphasizing existing fundraisers determined by their clique (and often a simple “donate to me to support this “great” work message), it’s the job of the mid level people to nurture the bottom dwellers.  Give them a sense of worth with responding to comments, clicking on their videos and posting, and in general give them attention they are missing from their everyday lives.

Whether you like it, don’t like it or don’t give a hoot about it, there is a conflict between scientific based thinking and spiritual content.  Gematria dabbled in trying to merge these two in the prior decade, but has pretty much given up on talking about things like carbon atoms being 666 because they have six of each subatomic particle.  They focus on spiritual thoughts, except when Derek gets on a roll about eclipses.  That may be science in the wording, but it’s really an appeal to those that don’t know that astrology is not astronomy.  

In the grift magnetism economy, there’s a spot for things that are purely anti-science.  NASA is the poster child for this, moon landing hoaxes and curvature of the flat earth being the #1 and #2 talking points (not necessarily in that order).  The debunking of these with the science of what’s really going on is met with resistance by smarter than average people.  That can be counterproductive since more sciency jargon turns off the anti-science promoter even more and they double down on the closed minded crazy.  These are mid level topics, where the closed minded promoter is well practiced in what other misinformation and logical fallacies can be used to counterattack.

So looking through hundreds of low level scam targets I’ve seen and I’m totally not surprised that chemtrails is the biggest piece of newbie content.  Like gematria it’s super easy.  Just pull out your phone and take a picture.  Assign it arbitrary and incorrect evil.  And sit back knowing that if the shit hits the fan your mid level buddies will have your back, step in and do the arguing for you.  Planes have been around a long time and aren’t going anywhere soon.  There will be plenty of opportunities to get your attaboy for your anti science “decode”.

Chemtrails are anti science light.  They are a warning sign that somebody is starting to dabble in the world of conspiracy grifters trying to drag them away to other bad ideas.  Sucking away they’re time and money because they refuse to accept the science behind water vapor, even while using the same science that understands water vapor to snap the picture.

Werewolf Insurance

In honor of the Halloween season we’re going to talk about fringe, frivolous and fun insurance.  Add fraud for another fancy far out f word.

https://www.usatoday.com/money/blueprint/insurance/most-unusual-insurance-policies/

Also, Google “Werewolf Insurance”, and what you’ll get are some actual insurance companies talking about Spooksafe Insurance.

What we have here is a combination of Pet Rocks, actual insurance marketing and the power of people being complete and utter idiots on full display.  There’s a bit about alien abduction insurance in here which ties in to the last bit.

I was around when the Pet Rock fad was going on, where you got a rock and an instruction manual on how to take care of it.  Everyone I knew that was at least aware of it if not actually owning one had the good sense to realize it’s just a joke.  If you’re a typical person (meaning more faith in humanity than I have) you would instantly dismiss the idea of Werewolf Insurance being a real thing.  I am so skeptical that the thought of someone who is at a point they Google “werewolf insurance” is maybe actually thinking it might be a good idea.

Successful actual insurance is an offer to supplement you in time of need, with the hope of never actually having to pay out on the terms listed in the policy.  Going back to the USA Today article they talk about bedbug insurance.  Arguably, this is something that could have real value.  And it’s buried amid some fringe insurance content that’s in Pet Rock joke territory.  The Spooksafe Insurance indicates it’s all a joke, but now that we have your attention, here’s real insurance.

I find the whole mix of different types of insurance found by Google searches to be a typical misinformation mix.  Some things are factual, but need more context.  Like sitting down with an agent or a phone conversation.  Some things are real, but kind of weird.  Anything to fill an underdeveloped niche like bedbugs.  And some things that are so weird that a normal person wonders why anybody would think that people might take it seriously.

I knew of someone that got busted by their HOA for excessive water usage.  She paid up when maintenance people found out she had rigged the toilet to run 24/7.  Her reason?  Demons in the pipes.  That’s the kind of person that Googles werewolf insurance for real.  The alien abduction insurance story I promised?  There’s a case where an insurance provider got worried that they might actually have to pay out.  Not because there was an actual abduction, but worried that a jury might award the insured regardless of the “it was just a joke defense”.  That’s the reason the laws usually reference “a reasonable person.”

And with the alien abduction insurance stories, we have a publicity stunt incident.  The fake insured party with the manufactured evidence of an alien claw in cahoots with the insurer.  It worked, the story made the news, and now it’s on the internet, waiting for people who Google werewolf insurance to find.

The people that dismiss crank/grift magnetism content on the internet with “nobody is stupid enough to believe that” do not realize the power of confirmation bias.  A wide variety of different types of insurance available?  Of course werwolf insurance is just plain stupid.  But if somebody comes up with chemtrail insurance, sign me up!

Gematria is as much about marketing the other ideas associated with it as it is about the gematria itself.  Old ideas can be rebranded any time as long as there’s a crowd of people showing how susceptible they are to confirmation bias present themselves.  Gematria believers do Google searches on what they personally believe.  Then they talk about them on the internet.  Then they get attention for their “good ideas” even those idea are incompatible with others “good ideas”.  And the wolves, or rather werewolves, descend on the flock of sheep to see which ones are willing to up their game and cough up money for ludicrous insurance policies.

The evolution of confirmation bias.  It’s not just searching for the content you believe in anymore.  It’s that your sources never can agree on exactly what’s going on and you just dismiss the incompatibility and hypocrisy to focus on your beliefs.

The Bone Wars - A Cautionary Tale?

In my years of following activity in gematria related disinformation accounts I’ve never seen the likes of the current activity in the Shill Game.  That’s where, since the product is at best “less wrong”, instead of producing a better product you attack the other producers to boost your signal.  The pattern is often just a temporary misunderstanding that sees the hatchet buried after at most a few weeks.  Sometimes people do rage quit entirely, but they end up simply moving to alternate bad ideas after a parting shot or two.

This makes the attacking and counterattacking appear disingenuous.  So who knows if someone is really super pissed off and has reached a breaking point.  The video and blog content include specifics of what is exactly wrong with the content being attacked.  Things like the lying and hypocrisy are directly addressed.  Things like how easy it is to attribute anything to being at least a “ritual” performed by the scapegoat of choice.  Then after the few weeks of heated debate, which by accident or design creates more engagement and social media activity, the attackers go back to business, focusing on their little clique that they’ve become a part of.

So, in honor of those that are at least going through the motions of rage quitting for good I thought I’d post a synopsis of a famous falling out from the world of paleontology.  A story where a friendship was formed, money and attention were at stake, and ultimately how the drive for that consumed the friends to the point they became bitter rivals.

Bone Wars

Instead of a relatively fresh idea like gematria for scammers to capitalize on, our heroes were decently smart, legitimate scientists.  Both came from old money, with Othniel Marsh getting the benefit of support from a wealthy uncle and Edward Cope belonging to a wealthy family.

Just like our political landscape in modern times is always in turmoil, the government was dealing with trying to get beyond the social upheaval and economic costs of the US Civil War.  Since their attempts to create modems to ruin the future with that technology, they instead created the US Geological Survey.  Paleontology itself is a fine science and deals well in its lot of studying the past to learn for the future.  However, in this case, money and fame being involved turned this rivalry to amount to ignoring the science, simply focusing on the personal clout.  Elon Musk and John Hammond would fit well into this mix.

Just like chemistry aficionados searching for new elements in the periodic table, discovering the fossil remains of new dinosaurs was all the rage.  Cope and Marsh had met in Germany years before the fossils fueled their quest for fame.  So naturally, their friendly relationship led them to check up on what decodes were going on in each other’s blogs.

When things were going well at first, they did the pre internet equivalent of giving a shout out, naming new dinosaur discoveries after each other.  However, Marsh decided to engage in the pre internet equivalent of rushing to put out the first decode of the current bad news - paying off a quarry owner for first dibs on new bones.

It is possible for a gematria decode to go slightly astray.  The “fix” is to simply point out that the number you misposted is actually still an evil number (they all are).  So there’s nothing quite like the colossal misfire of Cope assembling a dinosaur skeleton with the head at the end of the tail.  So, in typical internet scammer fashion, the shill game was on.  Marsh pointing out the mistake.  “Nanner, nanner boo boo, you’re making this work look bad.”  An embarrassed Cope engaged in the pre internet equivalent of memoryholing - posting a correction in scientific literature wasn’t enough.  Maybe if I find all the copies of the bad info, nobody will ever now.

You’re pretty deeply invested in a bitter rivalry if you hire a spy to track your enemy like Marsh did.  Now with the internet it’s pretty easy to insert a sock puppet in a Patreon to keep tabs of what picks your opponent is decoding.  Things for Cope were much easier at this time.  Paleontologist Bob Bakker describes “taxonomic carpet bombing”.  The pre internet equivalent of making multiple channels, posting multiple short videos daily, and even posting the same video on multiple channels.

Marsh decided to use political connections to ruin Cope.  Playing around with the government funding that had kept both men afloat - the pre internet equivalent of constantly trying to game the YouTube algorithms by begging for likes, comments, shares, buying fake subscribers, and any engagement.  Instead of relying on a quality product to get your support.  Like a normal YouTuber.

Now we get to a point where Cope suffers the pre internet equivalent of getting his channel deleted.  Marsh’s efforts to bankrupt him were starting to have an effect.  Desperate for an alternate source, Cope lost everything with a bad bitcoin, er, silver mine investment.  Not content with that fate, Marsh decided to push his luck and steal the only thing Cope had left.  He lied about the funding of Cope’s fossils, the pre internet equivalent of lying on the internet.

Well, you can only badger somebody so long before they draw a line in the sand and fight back.  So Cope resorted to the pre internet equivalent of the attack video.  Having collected a ton of actual evidence of wrongdoing, the pre internet equivalent of showing clips of lying on YouTube, and turned it over to journalists, the pre internet equivalent of other YouTubers.

There’s not a happy ending to the story for these two guys.  That’s what you get when your best talent is slandering someone else for a long period of time.  The government finally got fed up with the feud, the pre-internet equivalent of the world STILL WAITING for social media to actually do something serious about internet grifters.
