Godzilla And Carrots

Knowing I had seen it, a friend asked me if they should take their young ones to see Godzilla Minus One.  And that was a resounding NO.  The tone of the movie is far too much like the first two Godzilla movies - the aftermath of destruction in Japan and the horrors of nuclear weapons.  And a spoiler alert - unlike these first two (only separated by about a decade from the end of WWII), acknowledgment that there are no real winners.  The culture and policies of the Japanese government as well as the US race to be top of the food chain lead to the decisions made in the heat of the moment.  Heady stuff for teens thinking they are going to see a campy kid’s movie where a giant monster or two clomps around and gets into a rip roaring fight between movie enhanced ideas of good vs. evil.

When history is documented, the material gets skewed for the victors as being champions of a just cause.  Effective warfare including business as a form of warfare has always required some form of misinformation.  The goal has been to be known as the champion for the good kind of misinformation that helps you defeat the bad misinformation of the other side.  For time and space reasons the goal here is not to go deeply into the plot of the Oppenheimer movie.  I could choose a more middling ground of the misinformation for D Day - and maybe get argued against that those propaganda and secrets are just as bad as the Manhattan Project aftermath.  The goal is to introduce you to a seemingly harmless misconception that resulted from WWII secrecy.

Carrots help with night vision.

Research and development of war tech is an ongoing process for keeping ahead of the other guys.  And both sides are assuming the other guys are the bad guys in times of relative peace.  But when the bullets are flying and the shit has hit the fan things go into overdrive.  Suddenly, instead of a scapegoat to be thrown under the bus, the scientists become the best friend of those politicians who are insisting on “it’s us versus them”.

Radar is a familiar and even its accelerated development in WWII is familiar.  It has huge practical not for war uses.  It’s a good example of science building on science and leading to more advances.  It also can have a practical application for annoying flat earthers if you want to work that into your debunk, but let’s not get too far off track.  But with planes actively flying and dropping bombs on people who mostly wanted to get through another day without having a bomb dropped on them radar = good.  Whether that be early warning to hide in a bunker or abetting shooting down enemy planes at night, the misinformation division took advantage of working with what they had.  Smoke ‘em if you’ve got ‘em.  The Germans already have folklore surrounding carrot chomping.

Theres no way we’ve been dumping a lot of money into our expensive top secret radar improvements, our pilots just eat a lot of carrots.  Nothing to see here, enemy spies.  Nudge nudge wink wink.

The claims of whether this actually worked to a degree enough to make it worthwhile are dubious, but to this day the idea that carrots help your vision persists.  The idea and science that the Vitamin A source within carrots is good.  But there’s not a way to throw away your corrective lenses by chomping down on huge quantities in f carrots.  The excess just goes to waste after your body gets enough of what it needs.

In the meantime Hollywood made some other fun sci fi movies about arctic radar and carrots (The Deadly Mantis,  The Thing from Another World).  And the super vegetable idea made it to an episode of Gillian’s Island.  (Season 3, episode 3 “Pass the Vegetables, Please”). 

And in the meantime the wellness grifting community got a shot in the arm for the false idea of vegetables and megadoses of vitamin supplements not just being helpful beyond their actual value, but a cure all for diseases and problems of all sorts.  Again we see the exponential pace of technological progress outpacing the social progress on getting a large subset of gullible people fed (sorry) a diet of seemingly harmless misinformation.  An education including science literacy is way more expensive than buying carrots.  And I’ll argue that wealthier people getting involved in Scientology’s megadoses of Niacin idea (The Purification Rundown) shows that it isn’t just the less affluent that can get hooked on snake oil bad ideas.

The Godzilla Minus One movie is naturally intended to be a method of generating income, and certainly multiple sequels are already being redone.  In the past, even in the sillier days of Godzilla movies the bad monsters could be an allegory for major real life issues and problems, the way they tackled pollution in Godzilla vs. The Smog Monster.  My life will be complete if these sequels include a giant carrot monster that the civilian population helps Godzilla destroy by use of radar.  Mostly because I’m sure that in addition to 5G the grifting crowd will concoct some fun stories about how the government has been poisoning us with radar waves, radar is turning people gay, and you can turn your microwave into a radar to detect the Vril landing craft.  And then I get to do a whole bunch about f gematria on that to twist it to say whatever I want.

No Guns, No Cellphones, No Empirical Evidence

Did you ever see a kung fu made in the 70’s or 80’s?  Boy do I miss those.  Since a lot of them were made by the same people and the same actors were used over and over, the plots - or rather lack thereof - were recycled.  You could count on a lot of swords, knives and other sharp pieces of metal.  Because although guns existed in the eras the films were set in, they needed a reason for a bunch or army guys with guns not showing up.  Going Indiana Jones shooty in the first 5 minutes of the movie avoids the climactic fight with the final boss.  Eventually we get Bruce Lee entering his dragon into a tournament, where the bad guy drug dealer has a “no guns allowed on my island” rule.  Which of course nobody disobeys because - plot armor.  Then 1980’s and 1990’s Hong Kong action movies and the John Wick gun fu style movies of today have guns, there’s just a plot armor excuse to not use them and/or plot body armor, super reflexes to make them less effective than kicking someone in the face.  Excuses, excuses, excuses.  But a lot of fun if you like the file yes in sound effect of what’s supposed to be a foot hitting a face and necks being snapped just before that Uzi unloads on you.

Horror films, especially the slasher genre suffered the same fate with combatting advanced technology.  You’ve just arrived at the cabin and there’s a demon, redneck zombie cannibal or lunatic asylum escape killing sexy teens.  Oh, my cell phone doesn’t have a signal!  Of course it doesn’t.  There was a period of time you’d rent a new release and you could count on that.  Then they had to get more creative to not be too repetitive.

And pity the poor conspiracy grifter.  Now even the most brain dead people have a cell phone.  Taking photos of airplane contrails gets boring.  Although I have seen a YouTube channel that for years posts an average of more than one a day - they are still active.  And the old days were a completely fictitious account of a saucer landing and grey skinned aliens stepped out?  Where’s your cellphone pictures showing the flashing lights and ray guns and the saucer itself?

Your typical gematria user doesn’t care too much about actual evidence.  There’s lots of unverifiable anecdotes about rapture dreams, god speaking to me, personal accounts of gematria synchronicity, and cases of an abusive hate filled personality chiming in about how they helped a homeless person (without a smartphone?) to claim they have matching gematria of the good stuff while ignoring the easily conjured antonyms for the same numbers.

But fear not.  We are now in the gun fu age of chemtrail documentation.  Chemtrails are intimately tied to clouds, of course.  And sometimes when there’s not an obvious plane trail there is something funny going on in actual clouds, beyond the apophenia of one’s that look a little bit like a rabbit and different colors because there’s actually a bright object called the sun doing it’s thing with turning water drops into little prisms.  Sometimes it’s downright bizarre.

There are aliens, or SOMETHING in the clouds.  And we’ve jumped right in to the excuses.  My smartphone let me take a picture of the clouds (with the sun doing its thing) - but the aliens must be blocking me from taking a video!

Of course.  Because that makes all kinds of sense.  And based on the hundreds of comments and responses it’s pretty popular.  Excuses, excuses, excuses.

I can hardly wait for the climate change response of aerosols being deliberately put in the atmosphere and what kind of weird anecdotal claptrap we’re going to get for that.

I’m pretty sure the nanobots in the vaccines will finish us off before then, so there’s that to look forward to.  Oh what a time to be alive.

The 1919 Black Sox Scandal

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

The “all sports are rigged” grifting crowd has a small problem to deal with.  Feel pity for them, because actual rigging of a sports championship is a lot of work.  An actual conspiracy requires secrecy and things go badly when it’s found out.

My quick research shows that boxing is super popular for rigging.  That makes all kinds of sense since it’s not a team sport.  You only need to give money to a single person to throw a fight.  Trying to get an entire team, or at least enough of a team on board with the program to make an impact is a huge problem.

So let’s dive in to real sports rigging vs. waiting until the game is over to report on the number 8 appearing.

The 1919 White Sox did not have what would be called a great clubhouse atmosphere.  The owner, Charles Comiskey, was notoriously stingy.  Money issues bring about the worst in people.  So the story is eight members got together and decided to go for a big payoff ($80,000 in 1919 would be just short of 1.5 million today). Throw into the mix a bit of - let’s get even with our deadbeat owner attitude.  

Problem #1.  The team was united in dislike of Comiskey, but not all of them were willing to get involved in the rigging.  The secret must be kept from some.  If the money offered gets divided up too many ways it’s not worth it.  If one of the “Clean Sox” gets wind of it the party is over.  If, as actually happened with the utility infielder Fred McMullin, someone gets wind of it they can blackmail you for a share of the proceeds.  And the chosen but not all members involved in a team sport could conceivably not play bad enough to overcome the efforts of the honesty of the non conspirators on a heavily favored team.  The White Sox ace pitcher genuinely had the flu, and his absence may have had more impact than the conspirators.

Sports is rigged with gematria Problem #1 - too many moving parts.  If you’re new here, understand that this is not made up.  The same way that every single person ever can be deemed an evil adrenochrome harvesting pedo with gematria, effort is made to insist that every single sports player ever is in on rigging.  One of the go to arguments is the Manchurian Candidate.  Every one of them was born and bred to follow scripts once they start actually playing games.  Everyone of them is in on it.  Vegas is the evil empire and they make their money off all of the sports players throwing - every single game.  Apparently just for the joy and excitement of Vegas every player is willing to pick and choose times to coordinate the exact moment to miss that key shot at the buzzer or drop the easy pass on 4th down.  Without a personal payoff - the joy of rigging is what they live for as Vegas takes in a gazillion dollars.  The joy of performing a “ritual” to mock the sheeple of the world.  Every. Single. Player.  And the coaches.  And the training staff.  And the families.  And the hospital staff for their fake injuries.  And the pilots of the team flights.  Just the same as the dipshitmatic immunity of finding your personal gematria is something evil is ignored, you are supposed to ignore that it makes no sense that everybody in the world except you is in on the grand conspiracy.

Problem #2 - Ignoring problem #1, examine the payoff amount.  I wouldn’t sneeze at that, but if I was an honest sports player with a million dollar contract I’d think twice before getting involved.  And that leads to sports is rigged with gematria problem #2.  They sidestep this as mentioned above.  They care about money for their masters, but personally they appear to only care about the joy of rigging for the joy of rigging.  There’s no personal benefit.  They are slaves that never wise up to the fact that making ritual sacrifices to mock the sheeple is a waste of their talent.  Except when they hypocritically point out that so and so is compensated generously to play to throw games.  Now I don’t have an advanced degree in math, but I’m pretty sure that a typical game has one winner and one loser.  And the better teams who win more games generally have higher payrolls.  Some slaves are compensated better than others for their mocking ability.  The others should be pissed off.

And before I lose track and forget, in the real world the ruined reputations was part of the actual payoff.  Banned from baseball, enjoy your share of the $80,000.  Take up roofing or pool installation or something.

Problem #3 - My personal favorite about the story.  Getting caught by something that should have been considered.  Follow the money.  Vegas makes their money by encouraging equal amounts wagered on the opposing teams.  The sudden influx of money on the underdog Reds just before game one was a huge red flag that something funny was going on.

Sports is rigged with gematria problem #3 - I’m the best sports handicapper ever because I know the code and I’ve pulled millions out of Vegas!  No.  No you haven’t.  There’s never been a sudden influx of money from gematria based gambling that change the odds right before a game.  For a magic code that has existed for at least a decade, Vegas would certainly have blown the whistle by now.  Even if they’re operating as an evil empire they would still need to acknowledge the receipt of the bets and change the line.

The clip is often repeated in the SportsGematria recaps of Zach’s failures.  How much he’s hated by Vegas for his success.  No.  No he’s not.  They love him.  Draft Kings gets to put advertising on YouTube videos that cater to his stench of failure.  Once people hooked on gambling get a taste of gematria not working they are inclined to try anything else they think gives them an edge.  And they use more normal tactics like deposit bonuses and other special offers.

Zach never picks an NFL season champion on day 1 when the odds come out.  There’s never been a case of a team’s odds going way up from betting with gematria early on - showing something funny was going on by the huge influx of cash.  There’s never been a credible screen shot of him posting a multi hundred or multi thousand dollar betting slip on a team before they play.  After The Fact Zach waits, cautiously talking up the preseason favorites at the beginning.  Altering the narrative with the inevitable double coding as the season unfolds.  Miraculously claiming to support all the playoff teams as the regular season nears the conclusion.  Then declaring victory all along by lying about who he favored in the preseason.

There’s bound to be more sports gematria handicappers that appear in the near future.  The sports handicapping cons have been as old as the sports have existed.  There’s nothing new to his method other than combining lurid world events like war and bigotry into his marketing so directly.  Even if the so called grifting pie isn’t shrinking, there’s so much competition we get daily videos trying to convince us every game is rigged by people with the powers of a deity 

Problem #4 - threats of violence.  That boxer that had a change of heart and didn’t want to go through with it.  That horse trainer that had second thoughts about doping the horse.  Maybe if I send you, or more realistically only threaten to send you a finger cut off from your grandmother you’ll stick to the plan.  Real conspiracies can and do lead to real violence.  There’s always been an undercurrent of violence in sports is rigged with gematria problem #4.

Zach is known to let his temper get to him and lash out with the “don’t fuck with me” attitude, also well documented at this point.  If his content was simply weird, everything would be fine and no more or less harmful than other handicappers.  Even without his direct suggestions of violence and his critics should commit suicide he always has some gung ho loyal lapdogs to put out content to show how dangerous he is.  It’s hard to say who is “in on it” and who is just LARPing.  That’s where the weakness of social media fits in.  Who is having a bad day after too much Xanax and who is making credible threats?  People do lots of stupid shit with money involved.  Or even without money, but a righteous cause mentality like Pizzagate.  The social media driven content of sports picking may seem innocent enough, but combined with the marketing designed to separate yourself from just another gambler has lead to a decade of baseless conspiracy content.

And there’s no doubt that sports gematria is intimately tied to gambling.  And your precious little babies are being exposed to lots of other bogus money making schemes along the way - that’s what grift magnetism does.  With a little twist at the end.  Long term devotees of sports gematria are few and far between.  Your not just looking at other money making schemes, you get a dose of some of the other dicier content - designed to keep you in an echo chamber of lacking anything resembling empathy, critical thinking or thoughts beyond a knee jerk emotional reaction.  Because the fake conspiracies are a form of psychological projection, a cover for the real conspiracy of the attempts to suck your time and money away with a collection called f bad ideas.

And all that is a long walk to say that actual sports rigging requires planning and an actual conspiracy, not just pointing out meaningless two and three digit numbers after the game is over.  Actual conspiracies require planning, not just waking up, looking at your smartphone and seeing something bad happened in the news.

Side Effects

Did you ever see the drug commercials that list the potential side effects?  I’m also not a fan of Big Pharma, even though the conspiracy grifters love to lump in that crowd - any even remotely tangential job to health care must be attacked.  The way the best grifters get ahead is finding empathy and whipping up anti science sentiment while latching on to bogus cures (Ivermectin for Covid, homeopathy, etc…)

As a cover your butt tactic and still being regulated to at least some degree, the listing of side effects has evolved.  It used to be, “Don’t take this drug if your doctor has you on heart medication”.  Now it reads something like this:

Known side effects of Biasotrolvictrim include:

Hair loss, bad breath, gout, penis envy, acne flare ups, lice infestations, weak bladder, strong bladder, medium strength bladder, sore knees, insomnia, extreme drowsiness, veins where your arteries should be, tennis elbow, orange bile, hot flashes, cold spells, droopy eyelids, x-ray vision, a second head on your shoulder, pronounced bicuspid fangs, premature ejaculation, speaking in tongues, queasiness, enlarged prepuce, shrunken prepuce, calcium deposits, kidney stones, gall stones, Rolling Stones, Flint Stones, allergic reaction to pomegranates, light sensitivity and bushy eyebrows.

Consult your physician before taking Biasotrolvictrim.  See your doctor immediately if you develop any of these symptoms.  That will be $599 for a one month supply.

So we’ve known for sometime that the grift leaders like to make up every conceivable reasonable hand gesture as a Masonic/Illuminati/Evil Empire gesture.  And every color of clothing you wear is evil.  Now any body part that can represent a gematrified Roman Numeral is also evil.  A bent elbow, that’s a five.  Pointing a finger is a one.  A group of three people each has two legs, that’s two plus two plus two equals six.  Three people are well on the way to 666, they just need six more people and blammo, they are in total the Antichrist.

It just never ends as the followers of these accounts never call out their own for performing the same actions as the falsely accused scapegoats.  The hypocrisy is enormous, especially as they are often religious related accounts and followers, decoding and deciding who else is evil while they are immune.

Before the list of evil indicators gets too cumbersome like drug side effects, I’ll give you a simple solution.

Everyone except you is evil.  That’s the way you act.  So just say it and admit it and move on with life.  Waiting for the day when you get thrown under the bus when your guru isn’t getting enough financial support from you.  And live with the eye rolls where your list of proof is an endless list of things everybody does every day.

The side effect of being evil according to conspiracy grifters - being alive, previously being alive or will be alive in the future.

The Prisoner’s Dilemma In the Misinformation Era

 Veritasium’s Video

https://www.psychologytoday.com/us/blog/one-among-many/202205/cooperation-and-defection-in-two-social-games?amp

https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Prisoner%27s_dilemma

One of our smart people brings up an important point, nicely worded to avoid pointing fingers at which political stance is which.  If you’re smart enough, you can figure it out.  There is a valid time and experimentally tested to encouraging cooperation.

Dissemination of misinformation and disinformation is highly rooted in the self serving maximum self benefit of frequent defection.  Maybe it doesn’t need to be every single time.  As with the multiple computer algorithms in the video some will sneak in cooperation although labeled as a “nasty” program.  See look here, I’m actually a nice guy!  I cooperated last week!  Sucker!  I really just wanted to throw you off - make you think I’m a nice guy just long enough to steal your girlfriend from you!

The conspiracy grifter arena is an array of nastily programmed defectors.  Some make it fairly obvious they have no intention of providing a meaningful cooperation.  Some true believers are stuck in a program that is willing to cooperate, but only with other defectors.  Some true believers want to cooperate, but haven’t been able to break out of a feedback loop that keeps them associating with known nasty defectors, get some better friends who will actually treat them like a true friend.  Some people are way too nice and let others walk all over them, their hyper empathy being dangerous to themselves.  Some people have a pretty good grasp of what’s going on and know that there’s a lot of energy being input into making individuals behave as a black and white/either or/us vs. them defector or cooperator when life is too complex and our brains are too stupid to avoid the cognitive biases in decision making.

The actually playing of these games and tournaments is defined by a designated value for the outcome.  The outcome on a 2x2 grid of just nice and nasty yields a singular known result.  The real trick is effectively defining what those numbers should be.  And how to combat the perception of what the benefit is compared to the actual value of the benefit that’s received.  And muddied by the complications of what you expect the programming (nice vs. nasty) of those you interact with.

All that is a long walk to say it’s too complex to calculate out easily.

Without adding in the factor of perception of value, look at the case where one side defects and the other cooperates.  Assuming the program is coded to recognize that at least occasional cooperation has some benefit. If the defecting side gets 5 units, the cooperating side gets 0 unit over a statistically significant run of contests a “program” will behave a certain way when it’s deciding on settling for a single unit if both defect and 3 units if both cooperate.  Now change the reward for defecting to 1000 when there is a single defector.  Changes the game completely if mutual cooperation is still stuck at three units.

Where we’re at now, is complete alteration of the perception of the value as compared to the actual value.  Even the true believers in conspiracies have a way overrated perception of the value that will be received.  And if you’re under the spell of a conspiracy grifter you’re more likely to be punished instead of rewarded for your efforts.  Thanks for joining my Patreon, sucker.

The math and psychology of social interactions are beyond the grasp of primary education.  Personalities are developing into behavioral patterns early on.  Recognition that some people need a swift kick in the ass occasionally instead of blind obedience to them can make you a better person.  A better person than me who is way too skeptical and untrusting.

The percentages of cooperating “scratch my back and I’ll eat the ticks off your’s” and gullible, extremely cognitively biased people may not be different these days.  But you can bet that based on the simple math of more people now and more social interactions now there are more of them.  And they are on social media trying to convince you the world is yours for the taking if you don’t get vaccinated, don’t pay your taxes and don’t cooperate except their with their bad ideas.

0 Intellect

 

“0 is a null value in numerology, so the key digits…”

I’m going to have to stick with my favorite gematria number being 113, since it’s the big number for dishonesty decodes.  The big lists with words that equal 113 and the simple Truth =113 debunk with what used to be called the Francis Bacon cipher.  But 201 is making a solid case for second place.

201 to a gematria user means Event 201, the pandemic simulation to gauge how prepared we would be for a new and dangerous pandemic virus.  For the real world it showed how totally fucked we are, and we only had to wait a couple more years for the game time proof with Covid. For the conspiracy grifter it means some cabal/government/next door neighbor with matching gematria is making bioweapons.  And they should be since the US Constitution doesn’t specifically say you can’t create bioweapons as long as you clearly state that you consider them to be a gun.

Without Covid we wouldn’t have anywhere near the amount of 201 decodes we’ve got polluting social media.  While slogging through the available phrases to phraseshop in the Jesuits, THE JESUIT ORDER = 201.  That’s in reverse and is in the range of useful numbers, a little on the high side, but if it was just JESUIT, JESUITS,  JESUIT ORDER, THE JESUITS, or THE SOCIETY OF JESUS you’re decode doesn’t work as nicely.  Reporting after the fact needs to take advantage of all your number manipulation skills.

And that brings us to a key number manipulation skill.  The old friend of the family who won’t shut up at holiday gatherings you wish they would stop inviting - dropping zeroes.

I’m not morally opposed to dropping zeroes.  Some mathematical operations don’t work right unless you do drop them or at least account for a good reason for dropping them.  I am opposed to the hypocritical declarations of dropping zeroes at some times then suddenly and without proper warning not dropping them when it’s convenient for your decode.  I spent a little bit of time going through this bozo’s timeline and verified there’s a lot of not dropping 0’s going on.  Then I glanced at the profile.  Zach’s website linked - that’s a lot of hypocritical dropping and not dropping by itself.  But he’s got from and center the breakdown of the cipher.  A=1 through Z=26.  Where J=10 and T=20.  Don’t you mean J=1 and T=2?

Just another useless social media account boldly declaring they have no intention of posting factual information.  A larger more statistically significant identification number trimmed down to a more useful number.  Anything to get the cult leader Attaboy!^TM and a little bit of attention.

Hubbard Vs. Net Void

The following link is the exact same video (mirrored) that appeared briefly on YouTube.  Even though it’s hampered by dubious claims, subpar delivery and subject matter rooted outside of reality, at least at times it gives enormous insight into a typical way it plays out when you cross paths with the glorious leader.

 https://www.bitchute.com/video/bs9VG39oxgxt/

Alison, with stars in her eyes and a song in her heart wanted to grow her YouTube following.  As one pokes around social media and travels into the fringe content, gematria is out there with the rest of the bad ideas.

Earlier this year I covered the economics of YouTube.  Connecting with other accounts, even dissimilar ones, to grow your own is a common theme and somewhat of a misconception.  Ultimately the really popular channels have either actual meaningful content or “populist” appeal like a celebrity.  In the meantime, scratching the back of someone else in the hopes they scratch yours - that happens all the time.

As a warning about the quality of the content of this video, pay attention to the early comment about applying the scientific method to Zach being a good person or tyrant.  True application of the scientific method leads to dismissal of gematria.  Her entire library of content was all the same themes.  Definitely part of the occult/organic matrix/spiritual circles within the many gematria cliques.

And therein lies part of the problem.  Since the leader’s part of the sports betting grift clique, this doesn’t always jive with the occult clique.  It’s competition that sucks time and $ away from those gambling Patreon pages.

It is only natural Alison connected with the Gematrinator.  Far less aggressive and more closely aligned to occult and spiritual content.  She may come off as a bit of a ditz, but over a long period of time she did wake up to how Zach simply refuses to accept someone as a kindred spirit long term.  Like a toxic narcissist everything for Hubbard is me, me, me interspersed with occasional half assed apologies when his temper gets the better of him.

The SportsGematria recaps of those rants where Zach crosses the line duplicate some of the same content here.  Which just goes to show this is not an isolated feud between to bitter rivals.  Zach can’t help himself but distance himself from others - the marketing plan is focused on short term emotional reactions.  Why should you care about the future economy being destroyed by the cost of reacting to climate change flooding and droughts when there’s a Jesuit rigged football game on tomorrow night?  You hate Catholic people today, you big moron.

As this incident was actively unfolding on social media there was a substantial amount of tangential content that was generated regarding the darker aspects.  The kinds of messaging a concerned parent of a young teen should worry about.  (And not surprisingly teens and early 20’s people without enough life experience to critically think their way through the issues properly are part of the gematria demographic). Death threats, suicide content false accusations aimed at scapegoats with baseless conspiracy evidence.  And one of the benefits of the Alex Jones method is part of the aftermath.  A lot of that has disappeared.  Memoryholing about the past makes it easier to ignore.  “I never said that.”  Some accuse Zach of deliberately removing his own prior content to cover up bad sports picks.  Or it could simply be more of a matter of acting like an opportunistic colony of yellow jackets taking advantage of a preexisting hole in the ground instead of building a hive of their own.  Ultimately it doesn’t matter why it’s gone.  And yet here we have more documentation of its existence.  So thanks for that, Alison.

As for evidence that is gone now that I do want to bring up.  On Twitter, Itachi was routinely putting out harassing and “bullet in the head” comments about any random person he would find to argue with.  And early on in the Net Void growing her channel phase he would post creepy stalker replies complete with a 😘 emoji.  Hard to believe this would turn into death threats, isn’t it?  Ummm…no.  Throwing a spiritual clique member under the bus to train sports pick clique members how much fun it is to troll and harass others on social media is par for the course.  Much better for the bottom line $.

As she tells it in the video, there was an attempt to convince YouTube to remove some of the inevitable counterattacks to this video.  One notable example is one of Zach’s current flunkies dressed in a wig and mimicked her mannerisms to harass further instead of apologizing.  This video was removed by YouTube or that creator - after many, many months.  Stop or I will say stop again!  Or maybe the message is - Don’t stop!  Draftkings needs videos to advertise on.  Who knows?  YouTube isn’t telling.  Chalk up another deleted video to the memoryhole.

I suppose a real world solution would have been for someone to quit on the BS occult angle, make a claim for actual damages that a skilled video editor a documentary filmmaker suffered with a $ amount attached to a lawsuit.  But the victims don’t think that way since fake truth echo chambers are more important than the real world.  That leaves us with the best available option to mitigate the damage.  Pointing out those that you shouldn’t be listening to and hoping the common sense of not getting involved kicks in sooner rather than when the damage is already down.

Danth’s Law Part 2 - It’s Not Just The Zachosphere

SciManDan’s newest video:

 https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=uRV0vmwhROM

The exact same elements of a Hubbard “debate” video.  Starting with a scientifically incorrect conclusion, then cherry picking and reverse engineering some topic to present fake, thoroughly debunked “evidence”.  And find some unfortunate fellow to try to enlighten the other viewers.  

And make sure to interrupt them, not give them a chance to finish their points.  Slamming the door on an actually meaningful discourse with the golden hammer, “I’m not wrong about anything.”  As Danth’s Law says, the more you need to resort to the childish name calling and just saying you’re right about the argument, the more obvious it is that you are wrong about the actual topic.  A real debate has two sides discussing a genuinely debatable topic in a calm and respectful manner.  And judged by an unbiased audience that is swayed by the weight of the evidence in the presentation.  

Like Zach’s gematria debate videos the flat earther videos have the same problems.  Combining a facile presentation to encourage user participation with scientific technobabble to confuse the more aware and insincere debating tactics leads inevitability to contradictions.  You can’t have it both ways.  You’re either actually right about everything and it would be common knowledge by now, or you may need to at least tweak SOME points and accept being corrected.  

But these videos are not about being right.  They are theater.  A show to the newcomers who identify the flat earther concept as something that actually makes them feel smarter than they really are.  Just post some Attaboy!^TM content to their comments and string them along for as long as possible until they cough up some bucks on those flat earth t-shirts and caps and maybe even that convention coming up early next year.

Conveniently, SciManDan is not ignorant of Zach, having crossed paths with him earlier this year.  I forget the exact wording, but I believe the clip shows Zach commenting about SciManDan something like, “You’re a sorry ass mother fucker, you should have a bullet in your head.”

I found SciManDan’s video seven minutes after it was posted.  By the time I finished the comments section was already filling up with discussion of the flat earther being a grifter and his modus operandi.  It’s completely understandable that those with real knowledge are a target to be attacked, but what’s coming up here is how people that are supposedly your friends, fellow truthers, also get this rough treatment.  There is no honor among thieves.  See the bus coming before you get thrown under it.

Know Your Grifter Marketing - Danth’s Law

 Danth’s Law in a nutshell

Ordinarily I don’t like to bring up too many specific names and examples about some of the darker chapters in gematria lore.  But as I’m sterling myself up for such a post I’m putting out some preliminary material.  Please keep in mind that the people caught in the thrall of a charismatic grifter don’t like to do actual research about their new found hero.  It’s a given that a large enough to be significant percentage of overzealous users will use the oxygen from seeing their name on the internet as further proof of the validity of their fifteen minutes of fame.

Without going into too much detail for now, the incidents in question relate to the gematria fan, Net Void and the events that unfolded when she had the misfortune of getting on Hubbard’s bad side.  This has lead to a library of video footage shared on YouTube and lesser known sites documenting Hubbard crossing the line, where even fellow truth seekers get a full dose of Zach in angry rant mode.

Within that footage is a clip of Net Void declaring that Zach “filibusters” as a debating tactic.  A minor quibble from me, I personally view a filibuster as a known waste of time, a fully one sided filling or air time where there’s no expectation the opposing side will get in a word.  It’s more like a Gish Gallop, where Zach interrupts and blurts out anything off the top of his head.  And whenever someone does manage to sneak in a derogatory comment about Zach, his precious gematria system, or any of the actual evidence of him being wrong:

“Shut up, I’m not wrong about anything!”

This comment, even disguised by slight adjustments, is so common it should be an official trademark.  Sadly, with so many years of operation and being verifiably wrong about the sports picks so many times, there’s a constant need felt to combat the attackers.  And one of those methods is to keep the myth alive, simultaneously feeding the ego behind it.  Since he’s not wrong about anything, he has also one every debate/argument he’s been involved in.

If your one of those people that figured out you can make a few bucks copying the system, or more innocently think that the attitude is questionable but you want to draw support and subscribers from his user base, be prepared for the day where you get accused of being a shill and a waste of oxygen.  The attitude of having won every argument is a well practiced piece of the marketing plan.

And that itself is not an original marketing plan.  It’s completely cloned from Alex Jones.  People do get disenfranchised, slow down or give up after consuming too many failed predictions.  The target audience is short term - just long enough to be hooked into about a single season of each of the major sports.  The unfortunate part of sports gematria grifting is there are always competing channels.  And they’re all disseminating competing content that contradicts each other.  And they’re all left with little choice but to claim they are never wrong and win every argument they ever get into.

One would think that people coming off as a know-it-all would be a bad thing and people would tire easily.  Life does not work that way.  Politicians, MLM advertising, cult membership, etc….  All rely on never being wrong to keep the blood flowing.  Danth’s Law applies here within the context of psychological projection.  I’m telling you over and over and over and over again I don’t lose any debates as a cover up because deep down I screw up all the time.  Just stick it out through this season, or the next election and I promise you prosperity and reward beyond your wildest dreams.

This is part of the reason for the recap of the fascist aspects of Doctor Who.  Enough people got on board with the idea of being a part of something to break them out of their funk that even though the failure (wars are messy for both sides*) was predictable, that’s not important to what people want to believe TODAY.

*Know your logical fallacies - The Broken Window fallacy.  

Dr. Who - Robot (1974-1975)

In the days before the internet there was this quaint old waste of time called television.  If you wanted to get into an argument with strangers at the library or local pub you watched television and then went to the local hangout and argued about it.

The themes we argue about today are in no way, shape or form new.  These concepts have been explored, discussed or occasionally just accepted as a form of escapist entertainment for the weary laborer waiting for Fox News to be created and cat memes.  Star Trek is famous for allegedly groundbreaking territory with putting things on the screen that you weren’t supposed to talk about.  Did Uhura just kiss Kirk?!?  Hold my beer honey, I’m off to the pool hall to argue about this.

Doctor Who, considering its time travel theme, has metaphorically been around forever.  And in reality has been close to forever with being on air since the 60’s, starting back when color TV wasn’t even a given thing.  

Within the framework of ongoing motifs, jokes and recurring villains they stumbled upon a reason for the series longevity that other series don’t get.  Out of necessity the Doctor regenerates as an ongoing plot device The first Doctor was portrayed by actor William Hartnell, who was not healthy enough to continue the role.  Instead of the unexplained replacement a la Bewitched switching Dicks they made the Doctor a new Doctor who is really the old Doctor but some new quirks to the personality.

As television is rooted in making money, the BBC was keen on marketing techniques, and ROBOT was a Christmas special, introducing the world to Tom Baker, many of which (including myself) consider to be the best.  Lists often place the rebooted version actors David Tennant and Matt Smith up there as well.  Regardless of which you prefer there’s no excuses made for how the character doesn’t behave 100% the way they used to.  Tom was able to dive in head first into being the Tom version without any excuses for how he wasn’t Hartnell or the other predecessors.

But what’s the point?

The plot of Robot.  Old Who can never be rightfully accused of being driven by powerful special effects.  There’s low budget special effects, and below that is bargain basement BBC Dr. Who special effects.  Which if you don’t insist on placing your entertainment on a pedestal as claiming it’s “predictive programming” like your average conspiracy grifter is quite charming.

The survival of the series depended on the scripts.  And it’s kind of odd that what they chose isn’t ever mentioned by modern day conspiracists.  These great researchers that are always quick to point out that the gematria of Matthew Perry equals some mind bogglingly stupid Illuminati number never picked up on the rich old source of material from decades ago.  You know, actual research instead of just waiting for a current celebrity to suffer a tragedy and capitalizing on the grief left behind.

Though maybe, the plot of ROBOT takes enough stabs at conspiracy nuts to make them uncomfortable.  There’s an organization of evil scientists in control of the robot called the Scientific Reform Society.  Instead of going with a “our science is better than yours” plot, (Who has aliens and other killer robots for that) these scientists embrace the antiscience movement.  The robot is to be used to launch a nuclear WWIII if their demands aren’t met.

The SRS is decidedly fascist.  Closer to WWII this isn’t as cool and trendy as it is now.  The horrors of actual war hitting closer to home in the 70’s.  The aesthetic is definitely fashwave.  Their clothing is rigid single dark color, they have bunker rallies where they chant in unison.  They make no secret of what they think about the sheeple outside their little group. I might goes as far as to suggest the name of the group is a purposeful one to include SS in SRS.

The robot itself is created with the mind of a child, and restricted by a prime directive to not harm humanity.  Yet, it’s given instructions that certain people are enemies of humanity - less than human, which must be destroyed.  Naturally, this logical conflict makes the robot go insane.  Although the intent is to view it as a sympathetic victim, it must be destroyed.

Along the way, there’s a nice little scene where our plucky heroine (Sarah Jane Smith - a nosy investigative journalist that’s the Doctor’s companion) gets to quip about how the SRS is a fringe society right up there with the flying saucer nuts and the flat earthers.  Niiiiiccceee.

All these things and more, if you’re really paying attention and really researching instead of parroting current rhetoric show that these concepts are old.  Misinformation is old.  Conspirators doing actual conspiracies to gain money and power accusing (projecting) other people of being conspirators.  The dangers of full blown fascism.  And how the ordinary person just wishes these problems would go away, a nonexistent superhero takes charge to make that so.

A lot of Dr. Who content is lighter fare than this.  I find it odd that they dove right into this instead of waiting a bit more into Tom’s run as the Doctor.  If you want to catch the episode and do some real research, all four 25 minute episodes are available on Tubi and there are a bunch of clips on YouTube.  But be warned you might actually learn something instead of how to argue with people at the pub.

The Redemption Movement

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

What happens when you take sovereign citizen pseudolaw/pseudohistory and dial it up to 11?  You get the redemption movement.  But take heart, it could be dialed up to 12 and add gematria to it.  So at least we have that going for us.

Kurzgesagt continues to put out somewhat depressing content related to how ordinary people in the grand scheme of things are just a tiny, insignificant speck of nothingness.  There are few people that can afford to blow several billion dollars on their own personal social media site and laugh it off because they still get lots of attention in return.  But take heart ye of little wealth, you are worth something.  And it’s likely to be an oddly specific amount.

There is often a quid pro quo in even the nuttier grifts.  The Nigerian Prince needs your help - you need to actively perform some tasks, even if they are promoted as simple, to gain access to his wealth.  Your correct sports betting picks only work if you join the Patreon.  Otherwise you just get a lot of excuses for being wrong.  (Which is plenty enough for a lot of people.)  The basic idea of the redemption stuff is just the mere act of you being born into this cursed world is enough.  Not just Dire Straits, but everyone had a fund set aside for them at birth - money for nothing.

And just like conspiracy related issues internet grift the story falls apart depending on who you talk to.  Roger Elvick apparently created his original work for the amount of $630,000.  When you were born your corrupt government that you don’t need to play by their rules just gives you a value of that much.  Ridiculous when you consider how long ago that was and it hasn’t been adjusted for inflation.  I’m waiting for not a penny more or less than my $17.7 million I’ve been waiting on since 2018.

As economies struggle with real world economy things like supply chain interruptions due to pandemics and insurance executives making money on credit default swaps and wars it would be nice to be able to have a fairly tidy sum easily accessible to wipe out debt and have a dignified retirement.  A retirement just given to you without any forethought like saving money instead of living paycheck to paycheck.  Some by necessity have little choice but be paycheck to paycheck.  Some decided it would be a good idea to buy a vehicle that costs more than a house as a status symbol, then only as age and lack of savings catches up they decide that a get rich quick scheme sounds like a good idea.  It’s not.

There is a quid pro quo.  The redemption schemes fail the reality check test.  If this magic fund existed and was a real thing, you probably would have heard about it long ago.  A lot longer before the master redeemer put that big in your ear.  The go to fundraiser is likely a seminar or gathering of some sort.  Pay me several thousand dollars to unlock my package of super secrets.  Here there is an advantage over sports gematria.  If gematria sports picks worked, you’d just do that instead of selling your secrets.  This is *your* personal fund.  So logically the guru can’t touch your personal fund.  Only guide you on how to collect it.

However, consider something like the Earned Income Credits for Covid business disruption.  There are people that provide value with understanding the proper filing, the proper numbers to put on the paperwork, that file that with the IRS.  They can charge a hefty fee, but the honest ones don’t/didn’t take the fee in advance.  They waited until the government ponied up the actual credit monies before they get a penny.  You could have some fun scambaiting the redemption seminars by interrupting the speaker constantly with the perfectly logical suggestion of taking his fee out of your redemption…of shit.  You’ve already paid him up front for the seminar.  It’s just another advanced fee fraud format.

This has been going on long enough that the oddly specific amount and the reasons for why it exists have warped and mutated depending on the grifter in charge.  So tue red flag of not keeping a coherent story is big.  The failure of not actually collecting your redemption will be covered up by typical pseudolaw tactics.  The guru will be long gone.  And/or you didn’t do it “just right”, so you screwed up no them.  Just like homeopathy defends your formula being screwed up by telling you that you must not have stirred it exactly 1,489 times by the light of the full moon while reciting the magic words, “Klaatu Borada Nikto.”

Let’s throw in some gematria possibilities to dial it up. 630,000 is actually 63.  Except that you aren’t going to get $63 back because the seminar cost way more.  In gematria you drop zeroes except when you don’t.  Another name is “acceptance for value”, or A4V.  A4V is cool.  They love themselves some gematria that has both the numbers and letters.  It’s way cooler than AFV.  The original format was the Jewish Cabal being behind it, so everyone knows now the Jesuits are in control of the Jews.  Or vice versa.  Or, somebody evil did something.  There’s certainly some evil numbers in there SOMEWHERE.  The Uniform Commercial Code (UCC) is big in the pseudolaw claims.  There’s a CC in that!  That’s 3-3, 33.  Freemasons.

But the biggest use for gematria is tax evasion.  Their groupies don’t like paying taxes.  Even though they could offset their gambling winnings by the inevitability larger number of the gambling losses.  Just gotta save up enough money for that seminar.

Sailors - Early Conspiracy Theorists

A lot of our problems with modern conspiracy theorists are tied into how people who don’t want appreciate science think it’s also a good idea to attack the science.  The Antiscience movement is in full swing.  Free speech is good, but ultimately members of society owe it to themselves and those that surround them to find the right answer.  Not just the convenient answer of what they want to hear.  The simultaneous belief in contradictory thoughts  is a large piece of the antiscience belief system.  People who genuinely think that the Earth is flat, plane contrails are poisoning us and 5G causes Covid are using modern science to disseminate misinformation that the technology they are using is rooted in the debunking of their stupid opinions.  And I need to work in the obligatory reminder - the internet grifters just love this.  Disinformation = misinformation + a fundraiser.

Picture old timey sailors. A civilization with a water source was primed to be a lot better off than a desert with a scant supply.  Instead of just standing near the shore and poking at unlucky fish close enough to stupidly get near your sharp, pointy objects you could access a supply of tasty fishies not easily available if you figured out how to make a floating piece of wood to get out to new areas.

A more modern example of the speed of technological process outpacing social progress are the World Wars.  You were the king of the block if your battleships were better than others.  Then by the end of WWII we found it was much more important to use the speed of jet aircraft and bomb the shit out of others from a safer distance.  Now unmanned drones and guided middles are better than  planes for killing from afar.

The smarter people making progress in earlier maritime civilizations figured out the Earth was round.  And navigation with a compass became a huge deal.  And we can be pretty sure that some of them were considered heretics by those that were just itching for 5G to come along and be used as a convenient scapegoat.  Because one of the things that we know about people being assholes, is that even if they’re wrong, even if they know deep down they’re wrong, they DON’T like to be told about it.  Much better to find a scapegoat to blame.  Sure it can be fun to sit down at the tavern and have a debate with other sailors about how you think the government assassinated Ahab, there was another big sea creature on that grassy knoll, but sometimes you need a crisis actor or completely mythical target.  You know, something convenient that won’t fight back, that won’t punch you for being the drunken tavern asshole you are.

The Sirens Did It.  Or it may be more correct to say the harpies did it.  Who knows for sure 100%.

https://www.audubon.org/news/sirens-greek-myth-were-bird-women-not-mermaids

Surprisingly, old timey sailors like some entertainment to go along with scoring with Brandy the fine barmaid while on a layover between voyages.  And there’s already some nice, perfectly fine predictive programming from Greek times to capitalize on.  Greek sirens, hideous looking bird/human hybrids, now that’s just plain stupid that somebody would think that was for real.  But change the format from hideous bird woman to sultry woman/fish that makes sense now.  Keep the alluring voice though, cause that part is pretty cool.

There’s always been people with a problem separating fact from fiction.  And tales and songs of your covering up your colossal fuck up by crashing your ship on the rocks - they know there wasn’t a storm last night.

Comely fish woman did it.

My personal belief is that any story about comely fish women that used to be hideous bird women isn’t any good  unless the head is a fish and the torso is the woman parts.  You’re just being racist, or mermaidist, if you insist otherwise.  But moving on.

Do you really think that mermaid stories weren’t grifting?  Aarrgh, matey, buy me another grog an I’ll share ye the story of how I got me peg leg from a shark…no wait crashing’ me ship on the rocks because the comely siren distracted me from my sailin’ duties.  Arguably, the story has a lot of legitimate entertainment value for those that accept it as the fiction it is.  But it is distracting from the real story that the Jesuits are behind the mermaids.  The gematria proves that.

Some stories are better than others.  Some storytellers are better than others.  If you look for your bogeyman now as a comely fish maiden hybrid you aren’t going to get as much attention, unless you can tie it in to modern times and our current technological progress.  Voting for people that the entire campaign platform amounts to, “I have the right to believe in mermaids”, isn’t going to help you with the next pandemic and how climate change is going to kill all the mermaids off.

The Bleeding Continues

 

The regular SportsGematria recaps are a breath of fresh air for me, providing a convenient excuse to discuss a more relatable subject.  I feel that it’s important to emphasize the psychological parts of the conspiracist mindset, but the average person would rather hear about the effects on the wallet than bother to understand something like the appeal to success logical fallacy.

Zach embraces the appeal to success aura he’s generated by a decade of misinformation.  He always talks up (lies) about his previous track record.  And he downplays some of his other not directly fibbing methods; more casual things lesser minds might not pick up on if they don’t have some guidance.  So I’m just going to throw a little more gasoline on the dumpster fire that has been this NFL season.

But first let’s start out with the comments section of the current video.  Midway through the season there were a significant number of comments from other sports gematria YouTube channels.  That is, other grifters.  Using virtually the same methods.  Some may qualify as true believers, but I doubt it.  If they really believe in the value of their predictions they’ve been getting high on their own hype and caught up in their own little LARPing world.  This current video as of this writing is exclusively just people fed up with Zach and his marketing plan.  That marketing plan is shameless self promotion, vacillating between claims of being correct all the time or at least rarely wrong, and backpedaling on getting called out for being wrong.  And having it recorded.  These commentators were simply playing the Shill Game.  Trying to lure people to their channel.  And the same bogus system is in place there.  So at best you would lose less money over the long haul than you would on the current dumpster fire at Gematria Effect Sports.  And as for these comments from the not another sports pick channel, let’s just say they aren’t happy.  They haven’t stuck the landing yet and pieced together that all the conspiracy grifting content is bad news.  But baby steps are better than no progress at all.

The second picture is the full recap of the season so far.  The demographics of the viewers (I’ve researched this and I’m confident of my assessments) are a motley crew that can’t afford to lose $1500 on bad advice.  And I don’t think any of them have actually wagered on all the games recorded here as officially being a pick.  They’ve probably been picking and choosing, doing other more normal sports gambling themes.  Like betting the game your favorite team is involved with, since you plan on watching the game.  Or waiting until the Cowboys are picked by Zach to lose and plopping down a few bucks because you hate the Cowboys.  As you should.  Or letting your romantic partner pick from which team has the prettier logo in their opinion.  What the target audience of the sports gematria scene doesn’t grasp is that these silly and unscientific methods will produce the same results over the long term.  Does it really matter if you lose money with or without gematria?

The other picture is another one of those subtle things Zach has been capitalizing on, which I’ve called out years before.  And it’s something non gematria grifters have done forever.  When in doubt, with your magical system that isn’t really magical, and you’re avoiding picking against the point spread, pick the favorite.  Visually and psychologically it’s better to have presented a win loss record of 4-1without mentioning that you picked the favorite in the 5 games with the biggest point spreads.

Lions (-400) +$25. You need to wager $400 to win $100.  So if you bet $100 like SportsGematria always calculates you win $25 while risking losing $100.  If you bet 5 games at (-400) and got one wrong you would break even.  Except that you also have your monthly Patreon subscription.  And that share of your smartphone plan.  And lost time you’ll never get back.

Packers (+135) +$135.  You wagered 100 on an underdog and win a bit more than your wager.

And that’s the only underdog pick in the entire list of picks for the week.  Granted there are a few picks against the spread.  This is a classic example of betting a lot of games, having a winning record for the week, and essentially breaking even.  And that’s a good week.  Hardly that impressive.

Even without point spreads, picking NFL games is tough.  Two evenly matched teams would likely finish a 16 game set of playing just against each other at 8-8 or 9-7.  You’re not improving your chances much on a paltry couple of bucks while flipping that coin 16 times.  Remember, point spreads are designed to have approximately the same amount of money bet on both teams, not some kind of prediction on who the winner will be.

Thanks, Obama

 https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Thanks,_Obama

Thanks Obama is one of those long lived internet memes, originally operating as a derogatory poke at Obama presidency era policies, then stolen to satirically support Obama.  A perfect fit for the all or nothing political only choice A or choice B with no middle ground outrage porn machine.  

The hate speech rules for prominent figures are different.  As a well known political figure it’s expected that some derogatory commentary is inevitable.  And all things for someone with the stature of an Obama are fair game.  Somehow, there are always plenty of people willing to chime in about such prominent figures using memes as evidence instead of…actual evidence.  These are called trolls.

Gematria is on par with memes for quality of empirical evidence.  That is, zero value.  And since your drop zeroes in gematria that means that it’s not even zero.  Just some black hole wasting space and time for those that want to devote a significant portion their f their lives to it.

And we do have to give a sarcastic shout out to Obama here for going too far.  The trolls are gonna troll, and they really don’t need to see something to refocus their attention to.  The undying Obama is the Antichrist narrative is still going strong.  The Michelle Obama is actually man narrative is not far behind.  Now he’s given the two sided outrage porn machine a movie to latch on to.  Thanks, Obama.

Leave the World Behind

I’m flying a bit blind here since I haven’t researched much of the plot details, yet.  What I know is gleaned only from the conspiracy content that is already churning through the normal (as normal as internet weirdos posting conspiracy content can be considered normal) social media conspiracy machine.  It’s got Julia Robert’s in it.  So that gets a tie in to the recent Matthew Perry death.  It’s got an apocalyptic theme.  And Obama, being an executive producer is already being pushed as the creative source, with some people calling it “Obama’s movie.”  Failing to realize that sometimes executive producer means merely investing in the movie or that there are at least a bunch of non Obama people involved.  That’s the way these things work.  If Julia Roberts was an aging overrated, in both talent and looks, actress the outrage machine would latch on to her.  If she made the mistake of going on talk shows discussing her politics.  And did you see what I did with the overrated comment?  Did I suggest she’s overrated?  Or that others think she is and I don’t?  Your reaction depends on what you personally think instead of anything to do with this particular movie.

Just as all gematria numbers are evil but some select numbers are more evil, some old stories are better than others.  This one could end up being one of them that will still be mentioned years from now.  Backing up to some of the other undying stories.  Thanks, Kobe.  You had to die and give the weirdos an excuse to latch on to all the two digit numbers in your career and life.  It’s been said that the Kobe narrative is the single biggest draw to the new initiates to sports gematria grifting.  To a lesser extent, Gabby Petito.  This is nowhere near as popular today, but it wasn’t for lack of conspiracy grifting effort.  The reality is a stunningly attractive young woman was tragically murdered by being involved with the wrong guy.  But she had the audacity to have massive media attention and lots of tiny, insignificant numbers associated with her life and those events.  Thanks, Gabby.

The common themes running through all these stories is simple.  Although the narratives are presented as, “I told you so - the evil empire is being evil again!”, not a single one was close to being predicted.  Just like Zach congratulating his Patreon winners after his bets with the spread, without the spread, narratives for both teams and 50 side bets on who scored a touchdown and the over under, these are all reported after the fact.  And as the outrage porn machine rushes to put out content the many stories that evolve short term as events unfold on TV the narratives conflict, even to the point of being mutually exclusive.  Until the stories that get the most engagement linger on, and the many equally valid as far as the gematria goes less engaging stories fade into oblivion.  You simply do not hear about Mrs. Johnson watering her flower garden on Tuesday even though gematriawise that was evil.

Thanks, social media.

For those who wish to crawl into their cave and weep for humanity I offer two final comments.

Perhaps, with the Leave the World Behind theme of a media blackout there’s an intention to show the lunacy of social media driven conspiracy grifting content.  I doubt it.  Personal interpretation can go a lot of different directions.  Thanks, Obama.

More importantly, Gabby Petito is prettier than Julia Roberts was at the same age.  That’s a fact.  You read that on the internet, so it must be true.

Self-Fulfilling Feedback Loops

Getting yourself in a feedback loop can be a good thing.  That guy at the gym who tried to motivate himself time and again to lose weight, maybe his failure was rooted in some other problem.  Since this blog is about internet weirdos conspiracy theories and grifting let’s assume it’s financial.  Having been exposed to the tangential grift magnetism content of wellness industry grift since he’s now firmly anti-vaccination, his lousy job coupled with losing money on shitty gematria based sports picks can’t allow him an expensive gym membership.  Drinking his own urine didn’t help like he was told.  All the other quackery didn’t work.  The cognitive dissonance is building up on all the internet crap he’s been subjected, so he decides to give the gym a try.  Saves up some money, joins, and starts to see some results because exercise actually works.  Friends and family notice the change.  Positive verbal feedback.  Keeps going to the gym.  Hangs around more normal people.  Meets a nice girl.  They move in together, get a puppy, get married and he throws away his notebook with all his decodes, and becomes the next ambassador to Wollongong.

The key to the success was interruption of a negative feedback loop and substitution with a positive feedback loop.  This is much easier said than done.  The old adage of wanting to change holds true.  Those that are targets in the internet grifting MLM scheme are already getting a lot of negative feedback about them being real life and internet weirdos.  Even being called out as an internet weirdo is their five minutes of fame and is better than being ignored.

So that brings me to the best internet weirdo I’ve visited this year, which was just a few days ago.  And, I refuse to give oxygen to this brush fire by mentioning screen or channel names.  At least for now.  The top of the grift pyramid loves to pump these guys egos up - everybody hates you because you know the truth!  Attaboy!^TM.

My strange little friend is consistent with his video content.  The video titles almost always use the phrase gangstalking, and he’s being persecuted.  It’s obviously never occurred to him that the gangstalkers have not figured out how to use their vast resources to track him down on YouTube and load up the platform with content regarding their mortal enemy here.

The negative feedback loop is - night driving.  And they demonstrate that they know who and where he is by only having one working headlight.  And naturally, even with that ongoing main theme, he expands into everything else being a sign that the stalkers are out to get him.  Commenting while he taps away from the safety of his car about all the things the stalkers are doing to stalk him and apparently doing absolutely nothing else but stalking him.  There’s a hitchhiker at night!  Gangstalker.  There’s a car with two working headlights, but the high beams are on!  Gangstalker.  Easily distracted by the negative feedback loop he’s stuck in of his private little persecution world.  Fortunately, maybe, limiting the drives to night time instead of being a problem on a busy daytime freeway.

Since his surprisingly large library of videos on this is a proud announcement that he’s got some cognitive bias problems I’m sure he’s bouncing around and getting looks at other dodgy content.  And getting positive reinforcement on bad other bad ideas.  Maybe there’s already been a sovereign citizen grifter that’s tried to convince him that to be safe he just needs a special license plate to keep the stalkers at bay.  If so, the reality is that if he gets stopped (maybe for a headlight being out at night!) the police will probably already treat him oddly for his bogus plate.  More feedback on how the entire world is out to get him.

For someone as proficient as me with finding odd content these types of accounts are easy to find.  The process amounts to looking at known leaders.  Then look at the people that are active in the comments.  Then look at their content.  And by the time you look at friends of friends there’s always somebody putting out copies of thoroughly debunked content like 9/11 hoaxes, anti-vaxx and contrails.

Which makes researchers wonder - if social media sites claim to care, and you can find this content so easily, why can’t they tweak their algorithms to maybe pay attention to facts instead of views?  Not our headlight friend here, his videos have less than 10 views normally.  But those that are courting him.  They’re the ones trying to encourage him to jump to that next level.  Start mirroring videos.  Go on to Twixter and talk about that great new channel you found.  Post that meme on Facebook.

And all this going on as the King, Alex Jones just gets back on Twitter.  Bear in mind that he’s more of a symptom of the overall problem.  It’s easier to encourage continued negativity than to break out of the loop and get involved with a more positive loop.  When there’s money involved.

Well, That’s Unique

 

Somebody is decoding YouTube video addresses.  The video I found that he bragged about decoding is a Scott Pilgrim Vs. The World clip.  And more proof that these clowns are not decoding anything.

Of course, the point of having a scrambled and meaningless looking set of alphanumeric characters is to produce a unique identifier.  You don’t want someone looking for Brie Larson videos to have the worst thing imaginable happen.  Accidentally getting pointed at a video with songs performed by Barney tue dinosaur.  Or gematria sports betting.

Google is very good at encryption stuff.  You also don’t want hacker mentality random people playing around with their code and changing stuff around so someone that uploaded their family picnic video gets edited into Barney or other unwanted material.  I imagine there’s something going on like a pumped up version of a stock numbering system used by retailers, like the MOD 11 system.

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

The function of such a system is to avoid transposition errors and other simple mistakes like making that last digit that’s actually a 1 in reality entered as a 2 and stumbling upon a different legitimate stock number.  Now you thought you were buying a stuffed Barney doll but it was rung up as a plasma TV.  Because by the doctrine of close enough, that must be true.  No refunds allowed.

If one attempts to “decode” and find a similar video address and if one is simply relying on changing a single character or transposing two of the characters, you get a video unavailable error.  That’s the way life works with encryption.

An astute identity theft hacker will take note of an obsession with gematria coding.  That’s the same kind of person that will do some kind or reverse gematria on their social security number.  That will look for synchronicity in their girlfriend’s name and phone number - and post the decode on a blog.  The same person that will answer internet quizzes about posting your favorite movie as a gif, because the security questions at your bank include your favorite movie.  Wouldn’t the world be a lot more fun if your bank password was a two digit number and the only security question was, “Which color do you like better, yellow or blue?”

The opposite of decoding is going on in gematria decodes.  Now for that video we have a screenful of gematria suffers, sorry…ciphers, that provides 29 different values.  And depending on who you’re talking to they all mean different things at different times.  Now you absolutely have no idea what it’s supposed to mean other than your own interpretation.  And of course it’s not a true gematria decode without reporting it after the fact.  If you managed to crack the encryption you would actually be able to predict future video addresses.  Ain’t gonna happen.

Knowing How Your Brain Is Stupid - The Misinformation Effect

 https://www.verywellmind.com/what-is-the-misinformation-effect-2795353

Your choice of words can have a subtle and yet profound impact on communicating what actually happened.  The telephone game relies on misinformation and misreporting what you witnessed.  Facebook is a good source of telephone game style misinformation.  Although actual words are recorded and could theoretically be produced and read, people will latch on to the stupidest of the stupid and go out into real life and outstupid every other person that will pay them heed.  Vaccination is a fun topic for misinformation like this.  Throw around some fake scientific jargon, and when spread around all that will be remembered is the source and a few sketchy details.  “MRNA polymerase blah blah blah…furin cleavage site blah blah…vaccine shedding blah blah…”. The next day at work, “There’s this really smart doctor named Malone who says vaccines are bad!!”

But more important to this post is the tactic of producing leading questions.  Picture the not so honest cop that thinks his next promotion is tied to getting confessions.  Recapping the linked article, the wording of questions can alter eyewitness testimony.  You ask “How fast were the cars going when they hit each each other?” vs. “How fast when they smashed into each other?” has a significant impact on post event remembrance.  Like the Dunning-Kruger tests where self reporting skill level always have a significant portion of respondents claiming they are cooler than they are, there are plenty of stupid brains incorporating things they remember as fact when it’s just not true.  Even to the point where our leading question about the car accident can have an eyewitness claiming they witnessed the accident when they really just rubbernecked it minutes after it happened.  Yes, eyewitness testimony sucks.

Gematria is a set of leading questions and fake memories.  Although it’s true and I constantly beat the point to death, at its core every reasonably useful (smallish) number is evil, some numbers are more evil than others.  These people have had enough exposure and positive feedback through the Attaboy!^TM process that certain values have more significance than others.  (Although the synchronicity crowd is big on their own personalized set of values that they insist show how the world is existentially only serving their personal amusement.)

For a good example look no further than Freemasons.  

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

There are really only three actual degrees, apprentice, journeyman and master mason.  The master masonry titles have a lot of honorary titles that really don’t mean anything other than bragging rights.  I’m cooler than you because I’m a 17th level, you lowly 13th level piece of shit.  You buy the grog this week.  As soon as you become a master mason, you’ve already proven you can be trusted with the secrets of the super scary secret society bent on world domination.  Yet, since the highest level is 33 (that’s a lot of grog!) the number 33 to the gematria clown is super duper extra scary.  To the point that they’ll even manufacture it bogusly instead of just looking for it.  Note to self, repost the old content of the hotel floors at the Vegas music festival shooting where they fudged it to 33.  It was hilarious.

Even my stupid brain has been trained on what 33 means.  Lots of other overused numbers, too.  57, 201, 47, 113-my all time favorite, 666, 227 and 314, 42.  47 is notorious for a push to be remembered specifically with a questioning campaign - “What is 47?”  Buy your bumper sticker now at the shop!  Just don’t dwell on the irony that you are showing membership in a secret society far more dangerous than Freemasons, tue gematria disinfo crowd.  But even our friend 33, just by its existence, gematria history and prevalence is a leading question.  If you don’t know what 33 means you aren’t a good little gematria puppet and will get scolded for not spouting the cult party line that it’s masons.  No cookie for you.  As soon as I see a screenshot of a 33 from a gematria cipher I know there’s somebody somewhere thinking about not so scary in reality Freemasons being arbitrarily assigned a false label because they are in the thrall of some sports grifter.

33 is a lovely gematria number, just for the sake of the number without the history and secret society tie in.  Single word or short phrase in the reduction ciphers, oh yeah, there’s lots of 33’s happening everyday.  And a third degree mason, still a master?  3 would be just plain insulting.  Anybody can find a 3.  But get it up to two digits - the stupid brains start to pay notice.  Especially with the duplicate digits.  Face it, which number is cooler, 6 or 666?  8 or 88?  2 or 222?

And to be fair, the freemasonry content is a footnote now.  It mostly only shows up as a “the Jesuits control the Freemasons” aside since a different arbitrary target was picked based on engagement and views.  It doesn’t matter what the target is, what your clique is.  They all have a set of more magical target numbers to focus on.  It doesn’t matter if your clique is Qanon Trump content, cryptocurrency, or spirituality.  Your friendly cult leader will throw out the old chestnuts on a regular basis.

Present Value Of Money

It’s pretty safe to say that the targets of internet grift have a poor concept of money management.  And accounting, although if you dig into it the math is really not terribly difficult, has a certain aura of authenticity to it.  It sounds way cooler to call yourself a certified financial analyst than it does to merely be a bookkeeper.  

The key to getting that certification?  One plan is to take on a lot of student loan debt, find a job in an industry that’s in the financial sector, wear a suit and tie every day and complain about every time you hear that some government official talks about the rich being taxed.  The other plan is to go through the arduous process of being born into a wealthy family and then follow all those steps.  You’ve already grown up learning to complain about taxes, you just need some school more interested in Daddy’s donations than you legitimately studying for your certification.

Even the most lowly of the financially ignorant has a basic grasp of the present value of money, even if they don’t understand why.  I’ll gladly pay you Tuesday for a hamburger today.  WTF?!?  Dude, are you crazy?  I’m supposed to just give you a hamburger now and trust some vague promise of being reimbursed.  Get the fuck outta here.  Future value is basically the same.  I would rather you pay me today.  I’d rather you pay me next Tuesday if that’s the best I can get, it’s better than getting paid a year from now.

Tables like the image above work, if you keep in mind an important piece.  The interest rates are locked in, the standard method of operation being a signed contract.  The annuities for a big lottery payout are based on this.  You won 50 million?  That’s if it’s paid out in yearly installments.  You want it today, it’s a lot less than that, but be damned sure the taxes are coming out of it all up front.

And since people who tend to fall for get rich quick schemes throw common sense out the window when money gets involved they don’t realize that the entire contract process is a sham.  Nothing is in writing.  There’s no guarantee that your involvement with the sovereign citizen claims, sports gematria bets or crypto pump and dump ploys is *definitely* going to net you at least x amount of dollars in the future.  You need to make your decision now, because the grifter understands that it’s more important to get your money now than it is to let you wait awhile and think about it.  You just might let a friend or family member slightly more sane talk you out of it.  Or you might get enticed away by flame wars of competing grifters playing the Shill Game.  Or you might put a pause on your sports parlays and buy some Christmas presents this year.  The immediate transfer of cash from you to them now is the only guaranteed outcome after you sign up for that Patreon.

Personally, I’m hugely skeptical of any solutions to an extraordinarily complex subject like climate change.  Studies get thrown around showing $ invested in renewables, nuclear energy, investment in new tech and whatever else.  And just like the retail employee pocketing stuff from the stockroom and outside “shoppers” lifting goods, the shrinkage issue isn’t addressed.  The present value of the $ in full is presented without the added factor of people being assholes factored in.  Having been aware of how oil companies have stuck their hands into politics and aided where we are at now for many decades - I’ve seen nothing that changes my mind that a sensible solution to minimize the grift shrinkage is even remotely brewing.

Your numbers might be based on a solid 20% return.  But what if a full half of that disappears while waiting for it to play out?  There’s no climate change “contract” in place to make the big polluters actually move forward on genuinely worthwhile actionable solutions.  Social contracts are easy to break.

And there is something the ordinary person can do, instead of just me complaining I offer a stepping stone towards happiness.  Start taking misinformation seriously.  Instead of donating to that politician for a vague promise of enemies being squashed, think about the effect on you today.  Start looking for politicians that realize that misinformation and disinformation are a catch all for a lot of problems.  Grift takes a chunk off of climate change induced disaster relief.  Grift takes a chunk off of vaccination for new pandemics.  Grift takes a chunk off of tax collections, keeping law enforcement and the courts busy with sovereign citizen tactics.  Grift takes a chunk off of food pantries run by the well meaning religious organizations who are competing with end of the world survivalist content creators.

The last place you should ever do research on for a financial issue is social media, until you get to the point where you recognize the internet grifters for what they are.

Ritual Sacrifices And Algebra

These initiates into the world of gematria are extremely persistent and annoying with their lingo.  And nothing is more persistently annoying right now than the phrase ritual sacrifice. Since their pattern recognitions are limited to A=1 instead of higher math, let’s look at some simple algebra.

The illusion in gematria is that something like 73 has more significance than 1.  So if a slightly bigger number shows up, and matches two vaguely connected words a meaning, a false veneer of importance is associated to it.

In the following sense, ‘a’ is the algebraic variable, not the letter a, and so on.

a=73 b=73  a=person’s name b=ritual sacrifice

a=b by math

But you’re never going to pass that math test since in addition to b=ritual sacrifice b also means any word related to death.  Kill, murder, blood, sacrifice, etc….  I haven’t addressed a specific word for a value of 73 and I’m not going to.  It doesn’t matter.  They’re just going to pick one of the many transformation tricks to alter it to a number they like instead.

Transpose it 37.  703 is 73.  713 is 73.  Use of dozens of ciphers.  73 is the 21st prime number, so 21.  I can literally pick any person, alive or dead and make a narrative for predicting death by ritual sacrifice if still alive or justifying report of their passing as a ritual sacrifice for the recently deceased.  When Alec Baldwin and Geena Davis die near the beginning of Beetlejuice their book for the recently deceased could have simply said “ritual sacrifice” and the end credits roll.

And with the near infinite substitutions the source of the sacrifice, the murderers, is anything or anybody.  There’s no citation of sources for the actual murderers, so they get to plug whatever they want in.

All the old timers, even if they now concentrate on sports or cryptocurrency or synchronicity, have at one time or another at least dabbled in the ritual sacrifice narratives.  It’s what got the views.  It still gets views.  And depending on the source, the associated content can at least occasionally get nastier.

I’m not able to point fingers at anybody that I can definitely say is a bad parent for allowing their preteen or young teenager to get involved with sports gematria video content.  And the same goes for the kids themselves.  But legitimate anti extremism experts (i.e. not me) have noticed that anyone that is swayed by symbolic (ritual) content is more prone to develop or already be involved with some nastier IRL stuff.  That’s not just gematria, but talk of hand signals, color of clothing, the transvestigation “experts”, anything where a false label can arbitrarily assigned to an unwitting target.  It may not be as overt as drawing pictures of guns and the words KILL KILL KILL in the margin of the notebook.  But your precious little babies may be exposed to some stuff you might want to have a talk to them about.

Attaboy! TM

 

The Twixter account this was posted on recently is a Zach fan.  There’s reposts of Zach’s direct content as well as some other in his sphere of influence.  Note that there is a Flat Earth logo in the bottom right corner.  Additionally, looking at the content there’s also a classic sovereign citizen claim of “legal name fraud”, which translates to real life as, “I don’t want to pay my taxes and bills, so I’m going to make shit up.”

Attaboy!^TM  Good for you.  You’ve learned the joy of trolling the internet with disinformation.  Or you’re a sock puppet of an old player, engaging in the tactic of reverse trolling, a key component in the grifter economy.  Being wrong about everything for engagement instead of being correct.

Scientific minds will already pick up on some of the errors.  Scientific minds not aware of the specifics of what’s wrong will still know a reputable source to check, and then find out some are kind of wrong, and some are outrageously wrong.

Keep in mind as well that the profile describes this person as a political commentator in addition to analysts of rigged sports and scripted news.  What it is in reality, as an established reverse trolling account, is a search for unsuspecting debate opponents.  Those that feel the need to correct the mistakes to help them.  Obviously, you are misinformed, I can help you.  The force of gravity is actually…As the account owner snickers, notifies the wolf pack that there is someone for newbie true believers to get some practice of harassing others.

Reverse trolling is a subtle form of outrage porn.  Instead of directly attacking a pro and anti genuinely debatable topic it seeks to draw in well intentioned do gooders into a debate that ultimately degenerates into a pigeon chess logical fallacy loaded name calling contest.  Because people gullible enough to give credence to the meme and share it without checking how blatantly wrong it is can’t do better than calling other people poopyheads.

Sure, a cult leader type will jump in and give the expert opinion to back up the debate topic.  It’s still not a genuine debate.  It’s an Attaboy!^TM dospensary. A participation award for those that didn’t do well in school that finally got their first iPhone.  A genuine teacher, a genuine leader of people looking for actual truth would draw a line in the sand and say things like, “Wow, that’s got some bad numbers.  Don’t make the work look bad.”  Or how about, “That’s a flat earther that created that.  We believe in the globe so we can use GPS coordinates in our gematria decodes.  Don’t make the work look bad.”  Or, “You put up sovereign citizen content.  Why the hell are you trying to send gematria grifting dollars their way.  Keep it in the sports gambling scam community.”

The fighting blow ups could be avoided by a set number f community standards.  Where certain things are acceptable and not acceptable.  But gematria has always been more about making your own rules to justify your decode than following rules.  And the making up your own rules spilling over into real life.  I’m special, I don’t need to follow speed limits.  The real speed limit is 666 mph, established on route 666 in Ancient Rome in the year 666.
