The Bridge Is Gone…Give Me Money

Now I know what it was like when 9/11 misinformation was going strong.  Sure the gematria cliques are doing their things with finding a number that appears a couple times that seems more likely than the any other number they could have picked.  One or a couple videos get put out, all the others latch on to it.  Then while struggling to find that magic number (128 for the Key bridge) they throw in their own personal numbers.  Eventually there’s a lot of different numbers that mean…something…and then you get

The comments sections.

Where it’s a free for all on non gematria issues related to the disaster du jour.  And any action as a community is lost and it’s just a clusterfuck of stupidity, out stupiding each other for a little attention.  Not everyone I poke around these days is straight up gematria.  Some are even old school doomsday preppers, anti-government gun nuts,  Qanon influencers who dabble in gematria but don’t make it the main point and just a lot of people that you would expect love Alex Jones.  And what a charismatic head figure gives is focus - at least a main topic to keep the masses aimed at.

The main bridge narrative is it’s 9/11 part II.  Like anything that falls down in a heap of crumpled steel outside a Micheal Bay movie is an inside job by the government to cover up something.  And there’s nothing more important to cover up than money issues, so these people are crying out for the government to stop inside jobbing their own country to take time out to give them free money.

I’ve literally seen accounts talk about their inability to sober up and hold a job complain about fictional conspiracies.  I’ve already seen that the bridge was a controlled thermite demo like the Twin Towers so Joe Biden has an excuse for failed infrastructure policies.  I’ve seen that the cargo ship’s owner was Mitch McConnell’s sister-in-law, because somebody read it needed an Attaboy!^TM and they got their couple of likes.  And probably a couple of people dropping by FB to repeat it.

We really haven’t changed much since 9/11 misinformation.  The consistency, the utter lack of imagination to reuse the same controlled demolition story is befuddling and frustrating.  We are doomed to repeat history on important economic topics that don’t address the root of the problem.  There simply aren’t enough decent paying jobs to cover the number of people needing decent paying jobs.  And complaining about it and making up ghost stories instead of recognizing the negative feedback loop they’re stuck in is way more important.

We should be able to prebunk a bridge collapse or similar  disaster instantaneously.  As soon as it happens, a statement is released and the warning there’s a lot of bullshit to follow.  We can’t be that lucky though.  Giving money away to scam fundraisers is what we get.  That’s the biggest cog in the negative feedback loop machine that won’t go away.  Constantly rebuilding off the damage caused by the near instantaneous spread of misinformation and disinformation that we are so desensitized to we just accept.  But believe me, the message I’m seeing is pretty clear.  People think they are paying for the bridge replacement with their tax dollars.  They would prefer not paying taxes at all.  They would prefer to believe the world is out to get them.  And the only thing that gives them hope is a social media presence to wallow in the spending their entertainment budget on human misery and suffering.

37

 https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=d6iQrh2TK98&pp=ygUKdmVyaXRhc2l1bQ%3D%3D

For those with a fascination for numbers when they have a real meaning instead of, “Hey carnival sideshow attendee, give me your money”, Veritasium has a nice video just released.

They go over multiple reasons why 37 shows up more often than you’d think.  So a seemingly random number that’s chosen isn’t really so random after all.  I find this to be a variation of the Least Interesting Number Paradox or Least Interesting <Anything> Paradox.

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

Imagine a person so dull, boring and uninteresting that if we were to be able to objectively identify them as the dullest person, they instantly lose that status since being that famously dull is actually quite interesting.  Maybe not to advance very high on the chart, but it’s a claim to fame that they hold over the second least interesting person.  Until that person replaced them when they advance from least interesting to not least interesting.  Etc…

People think they pick random numbers, yet fail.  Imagine you are a realtor and have a lockbox for your key to one of your listings.  It’s got four dials of all digits 0-9.  You have multiple houses to show and know that it’s a good idea for security to do a different combination for each one.  So you pick a four digit code at random.

Or do you?

Odds are that you dismiss some combinations immediately.  Anything that’s four of the same digit like 4-4-4-4.  1-2-3-4 is likely to be the choice of a lot of lazy people, so no.  This could be even psychologically and subconsciously fine tuned to feeling that two even and two odd digits are more random than a 3-1 split or 4-0 sweep.  And it’s really not.  A true random number generator has an equal chance of generating 7492 as 6666.

So why does 37 appear as a choice for a random number between 1-100 so often?  First there’s the process of picking that starts the .not being actually random.  We tend to start at the beginning.  One digit numbers don’t seem random enough.  Odd numbers seem more random than even.  Prime numbers seem more random than non primes.  Double digits don’t seem random.  And we’re too lazy to think further after hitting somewhere around 37.

And there’s a life of repetition, which the video explains how 37 is actually mathematically significant.  And if something gets repeated often enough, it sticks better.  Even if it’s the wrong answer, like Sandy Hook family members are crisis actors.

Beware the gematria aficionado exposed to 37.  Because whether they know it or not they are exposed to this more frequently than lots of other numbers.  And we’re talking about a bit further advanced than the stage of just wanting to watch a video and maybe leave a positive comment about how awesome it was.  (It wasn’t.  You’re just being part of the problem.)  We’re talking the kind of person that has poked around on the special functions in the original calculator with prime factors.  Because gematria works the opposite of trying to create a random number.  Gematria tries to create a familiar number.  A number that justifies the propaganda they are digesting alongside their gematria.  And when not being directed by the ruling class and they encounter a familiar number they get a hit on, a little mental tickle with

The triple digit number.  Those just jump right out as not being coincidental.  Not being random.  Not being anything but something important.  And since 111 is 37*3 every triple digit repeated number is divisible by 37.

It’s not in fashion, and never really was, but some gematria gets mathematically bizarre with randomly adding digits or taking prime factors added together or whatever other weirdness can be attempted to get attention.  It makes them feel like they’re doing real math and doing actual research and decoding.  An example?  111 is 3*37.  7+3=10.  10*3=300.  Then add that to the decode of CCC Roman numerals stuff.  Fortunately, this type of nonsense is not polluting the internet with fresh insanity daily.

What is in fashion and always will be in fashion is 37’s evil part of being involved with triple digits.  Those are a staple.  And they won’t even explain why they’re talking about 128 and then all of a sudden throw in 222.  They saw it, it jumped out at them.  And it seems important.

And the funny thing about 222 is the presence of the bullshit “Sumerian” cipher.  The translation of which is, “Let’s just randomly pick a number to multiply our already meaningless number by.”  37*6=222.  Now everything that equals 37 has elevated status to an important number.  That’s the real importance of 37 to gematria.  37 isn’t a totally bad number to start off with, but it’s role in mutating into triple digit numbers is way more powerful.

March Madness Gematria - The End Is Near

 

There’s probably only one more update after this.  The party is pretty much over.  My Clemson underdog pick was successful and landed me at rank #254.  Without gematria.  Without any real knowledge.  Just dumb blind luck.  Hours later when my final four pick of North Carolina lost to Alabama I dropped down back to only the top 2k and that should be good enough to seal any serious chances of winning any prize money.

There’s a reason that “sports are rigged” pops up in conspiracies, including the grift and crank magnetism in social media.  The average person is never lucky enough to win a life altering sum of money by just pure luck.  The predators psychologically access the parts of their brain that the conned haven’t been able to deal with.  The part of the brain that insists you’re the coolest most awesomest person ever.  And since your really just average and things don’t work out super cool for you it’s either

A). I’m super unlucky 

B). The world is rigged and out to get me.

And the ESPN tourney isn’t even a life altering sum of money.  But it was totally free.  It was an advertising expense for them with modest prizes compared to what other advertising it would do.

At this point in the brackets, and this shaped up to be pretty normal looking, higher seeds are playing higher seeds.  The point spreads aren’t too massive and there’s so much parity that over eight games it’s a coin flip on eight games.  

Here’s what happens when people get trained on sports being rigged and get involved with the news gematria:

That YouTube comment says, I give up on being lucky.  Fuck the world.  It owes me reparations.  It was posted on a bridge collapse decode of a gematria channel that doesn’t mainly do sports but sure as hell posted Super Bowl gematria earlier this year.  And that’s the kind of “woe is me” attitude of someone who wants to be hired just looking for a chance to get unemployment a couple months down the line.  Or even worse, attack the country’s capital if their election pick doesn’t “win the game”.

Bridge Collapse Update

 I just read that the official timeline has been released and the part of the story that the ship hit the bridge at 1:28am.  Not true.  More like 1:29:30am.  Now watch they will either:

a). Just not say how their hurried talking point is just wrong

or

b). Claim that the timeline was officially fiddled with because they’re part of the conspiracy.

Disastria

https://www.npr.org/2024/03/27/1241001030/-baltimore-bridge-collapse-conspiracy-theories

“…it has become standard for any unexpected event to be run through a filter of conspiracy theories based on the personal brand of the person spreading the theory.”

Oh you betcha that’s what happens.  The conspiracies started flowing immediately in the aftermath of the Key Bridge collapse.  And like the good little mindless puppets they are the gematria clowns did their best to anticipate the bs that would appear on Fox News eventually.  Although some didn’t know into sleepy-bye time was over and had to wait to mimic talking points that had already generated steam.

The sports decoders started talking about Golden State because that’s a bridge.  The Obama is the Antichrist started Antichrist confirming.  The synchronicity crowd that doesn’t understand the simultaneous nature of true synchronicity marveled about what they knew about bridges in the past, even years ago.  Throw in some 9/11 denialism because of course it couldn’t be anything but an inside job.  What you never get is a wait and see for the official report to be made to find tune your decode.  Engagement farming based on emotion requires speed, not actual knowledge.  Better throw out the first number that comes out at least twice and see if that makes a splash.

By the way, it’s 128.

Yep.  No waiting for even the crudest most rudimentary official narrative, because they lie all the time.  Occam’s Razor denialism is a must for the Fox News viewer.  The only answer is anything EXCEPT the correct answer, and it doesn’t matter an iota to the conspiracy grifter if their brand has to settle on their personal body of work and grift magnetism produces mutually incompatible theories.   When the unexpected event is run through the filter, the right wing media machine has learned that people will ignore the incompatibility, just latching on to their favorite message.  Which although it’s not worded as such amounts to, “Fuck you, libtards.”

Actually, there have been a couple major bridge collapses earlier this year.

https://www.npr.org/2024/03/27/1241001030/-baltimore-bridge-collapse-conspiracy-theories

But China and Argentina don’t have the reality problems associated with a news report that always is, “Fuck you, American libtards”.  And actually, if you wanted to make fake predictions like predicting an earthquake everyday and always be right, there’s a bunch of bridge collapses every year.  Granted they aren’t all helped along like the three in the above link.  There are….  Wait for it….An average or expected number of…

128 per year.  

(https://digitalcommons.usu.edu/cgi/viewcontent.cgi?article=3187&context=etd#:~:text=Probability%20and%20statistics%20were%20used,range%20between%2087%20and%20222.)

And it’s awfully difficult to take the gematria crowd seriously when they do rush into a magic number for speed over quality of content.  Because 128 is really only magical this week.  If gematria worked, if they were any good, they would have known what was about to happen.  But the reality is that every number from, say, 11 through the low 300’s is magical for everything every day.  Fox loves knowing there’s a ready source of dim witted victims who will get lured into having their e-mail and phone #s posted and have a target for political fundraising emails off the, “Fuck the libtards” message.  At least SOME of their content is not totally out in loony land.  If you want to donate to that, knock yourselves out.  They’re just going to keep it, and not pass legislation to, oh, fix bridges and infrastructure before it collapses.

The American addiction to convenience applies to infrastructure decay.  A bridge is expected to magically remain a bridge until the end of time.  Unmaintained, unfunded.  Like a point in the Bill of Rights that doesn’t need to be updated for how things have changed.  And by golly, cargo ships have sure changed.  Bigger is better.  More stuff in one spot.  Including toxic stuff spilled in the water when there is a problem.  It’s just lithium batteries now instead of seagulls soaked in oil on the beach.  Probably 128 seagulls will be killed by lithium poisoning.  Like putting off addressing climate change we’ve talked about making bridge upgrades in regards to massive cargo ship size, but nobody wants to pay for it.

Anytime there’s an unexpected oopsie you can count on the gematria clowns to add to the misinformation supply.

More Questionable Ads

As in more on the topic I recently posted about and there are literally more of them.  I’m guessing it’s because the election is no creeping eerily closer and there’s a rush to get the chum thrown in the water to stir up as much activity as possible.

Gematria and similar online grift does attract a certain mentality of participant, the same way that the elderly are targeted for their retirement savings.  There’s a better chance of landing a hit off an elderly person who’s mental acuity isn’t as sharp as it used to be.  There’s a better chance of getting a bite on the bait if the target shows excessive interest in embracing their cognitive biases.  A portion of the advertisements on YouTube are in the comments section.  Hey you there person who’s been courted by being made to think you are smarter than you are, check out THIS!  But as much as they like to complain that Big Tech is censoring them, conspiracy videos still have ads attached to them.  And it’s hardly ever reputable.  Personally, I think it would be fairly easy to dismiss an offer to advertise something that’s super scammy looking.  But life and social media doesn’t work that way.  YouTube is perfectly allowed to get paid to have an ad promoted, slap it on a video and then it’s up to the end user to not get involved of throw their toddler an unrestricted phone to entertain themselves while the ballgame or soap operas are on for Dad or Mom’s quality alone time.

Here’s some advice f the recent YouTube ads I’ve seen that get played at the start of the video.

Dropshipping

Which is a type of bait and switch.  Not all drop shipping is a scam.  It sure does look easy to operate.  Hype a product, then substitute or deliver an over inflated product.

https://www2.gov.bc.ca/assets/gov/british-columbians-our-governments/services-policies-for-government/information-management-technology/information-security/information-security-awareness/dropshipping_infosheet.pdf

One I’ve seen acquaintances fall for is the ad making it sound like a full sized product only to deliver a tiny toy version.   The sites are visually pretty.  And they can even mock a well known brand name if you’re stupid enough to visit tarrg3t.com thinking it’s really Target.

 

Lottery style content 

You click through a registration process to enter as many times as you like.  I doubt a real human ever wins a prize but who knows.  Sounds like a great way to get a lot of malware stuck on your phone.  Or phished for credit card or bank information.

Online Casinos 

If you stumble on the Reddit or Quora sections about this there’s a common theme.  It’s pretty easy to win money at online slots.  Actually cashing out your winnings is an entirely different story.  You could make the game (it doesn’t have to be slots, that’s just the most common) rigged to make the person lose all their real dollars invested.  They seem to enjoy letting the suckers feel like they won and then just not paying them.  Or even talking to them via the contact information provided.  If they’re not legit they aren’t regulated and there’s no oversight to have someone step in and force payouts.  Especially if it’s outside they oversight’s jurisdiction.  Internet stuff within a jurisdiction?  Hogwash.

Free money from ... 

The government usually.  “If you are a first time home buyer you may qualify for up to…”. You may qualify for wasting your time because you didn’t do any real research and see if the offer has a legitimacy.  They’re even still milking the pandemic where there’s a magical stimulus payment they don’t give you unless you ask them for it.  And that’s with the claim the payment is 100% guaranteed if you do ask for it.  Wouldn’t it be easier to just mail them all out instead of the paperwork and time answering phone calls for people asking for their 100% guaranteed money.

Like the funneling of the conspiracy grifter content towards a fundraiser, the ads have financial hooks that make it sound like you’re getting a bargain or free money.

Possibly Hubbard’s Worst Hypocrisy Ever

 https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=VX5KH2QRPEo&t=358s

One of the downsides of the SportsGematria YouTube channel that recaps Hubbard’s failures in sports bets and predictions is over reliance on old clips that get recycled into virtually every video.  Some of them are timeless classics that never cease to amuse the audience.  And we can forgive him since it’s nothing different than our prebunking here - the content from gematria clowns is repetitive.  And the target audience is filled with people who refuse to do any actual research that might include looking at anything more than a few days to weeks old.  Keeping it fresh at the top of the channel video selections has a benefit, even if you are a regular watcher and it gets a little tedious.

What SportsGematria does excel at is tying in the old classic things that shouldn’t have been said with current Gematria Effect videos.  What Hubbard excels at is the demagogue’s weapon of spouting out anything that comes to the top of his head and the tip of his tongue with an air of conviction in that what he is saying now is something he truly believes.  Like your toxic narcissist at work that has said different things to different people, sometimes the stories contradict.  And why someone would believe anybody that is constantly caught lying is beyond my reasoning capacity.  I just accept it as a fact that I’ve lived with since my teens, having at a tender age already figured out that people would rather have money than be right.

What newbies to Hubbard’s channel are really paying for and commenting on is the same thing Qanon gets out of pro Trump content.  The chance to pick something that is kind of an underdog who can fix things and make their miserable lives less miserable.  Hollow empty promises and failed predictions are all they get.  But they get be angry.  And be angry with the communal support of other angry people.  Zach, in the old recycled clips, has been shown to step over a line many won’t cross.  Refusing to treat people and issues with nuance there are very sincere sounding recordings of him attacking a group as “all being bad”.  And that’s beyond the main theme that the Jesuitsdidit.  He doesn’t like Jews and Niggers.  He arbitrarily labels people as retards that should all be candidates for execution and killing themselves off.

And he really hates Christians.  Usually the associated adjective is fucking to give you fucking Christians which in my dating experience is an oxymoron.

Now this is understandable in regards to the business angle and market share and advertising of the MLM scheme.  The Obama is the Antichrist clique are all pretty much fake Christians that need their daily dose of hatred.  And the flame wars break out regularly.  But something we didn’t have on our gematria hypocrisy bingo card is the announcement that Zach has been secretly married for years, to a woman with parents are devout Christians.  They apparently care that it’s living in sin to not be married and just doing the nasty on the sly.  And they (and she) don’t care that Zach hates fucking Christians.

I’m certainly never going to be laying claims ever that I think religion is a great idea.  But I grew up in a good, devout family that did at least put confirmation bias aside at critical times and sort things out with intellect instead of emotion.  I never tried to convert them, they never tried to convert me, at least after about the preteen years.  They actually helped me understand how pointless it is to do this ridiculous, polarizing group labeling nonsense.  Another more mild Hubbard epithet is, “All Christians are stupid.”  My siblings and parents also display(ed) higher than average IQs, so… no.

And there’s some other things that don’t make sense about the announcement and hypocritical past comments.  Like never seeing a Zachary Hubbard betting slip in advance you never see the girl - the girl that’s been the love of his life, his Sweet Lady, his wife since 2018.  Let’s dismiss that as protecting her from the known harassment that would come (and supposedly has already happened at her workplace) of being associated with a known repugnant personality.  The most I’ve seen is a short intro where a voice from another room talks to Zach at the dinner table.  And getting back from his OKC trip there was a video of the pillow talk post coitus, conveniently all filmed in the dark.  It’s like if there is this relationship he’s actually more embarrassed of it.

But what I find more interesting from an above average human psychology understanding standpoint is the lack of Freudian slips in over five years of marriage.  Somewhere along the way it would be logical and even statically expected he would have tripped up and blurted out “my wife” instead of “Sweet Lady”.  The so called trolls in the comments of SportsGematria videos do seem to buy into the relationship story, with only a tiny, tiny fraction of them ever questioning her existence as a significant other.  The prevailing story is that she’s a greedy money grubber and is “controlling” Zach.  To get him focused on making more money.  Despite that making money has ALWAYS been Zach’s goal.

Also.  Why would you then announce the expected name of the child and do the gematria of it?  Any name can be gematrified into any story you want.  We’ve already started on the announced name.  It doesn’t matter if there’s an alternate it’s changed to in the future.  Anything can be gematrified into a good or evil narrative as need be.

I don’t think we can be so lucky that this story is the start of an exit strategy from internet grifting.  But maybe.  Having to settle down and take care of a kid would take a lot of time.  But I doubt that someone who hates all Christians is the right man for the job of socializing a child.  It’s far more likely it’s the start of a long running narrative with a new set of fundraisers that hasn’t been tapped into before.  Let’s try some guesses now, anticipating a possible story.  The devout grandparents raise the child instead of Zach and he needs child support money.  Sweet Lady moves back to Southeast Asia and Zach needs money for plane fare to get there (and bribes to get off the no fly list*).  The due date is right after the election in mid November.  This child is important to tue narrative of who gets elected.  His imagination is super fertile after the fact.

*a joke, not to be taken literally

March Madness Gematria Part 4

Although it should be called March Madness lack of gematria.  But screw it, I can purposefully make a clickbait title, too.

What we’re actually doing is continuing our exercise in math and luck, and again proving that you don’t need a magical system that is apparently already struggling to compete with my picks.

Continuing the trend of annoyingly for them actually posting my picks in advance, there’s my Sweet Sixteen match ups.  As a pessimist I still fully expect to crash and burn.  Until then it is still a lot of fun for me with the success I’ve had so far.  One takeaway from my posted picks - I got 14 out of 16 correct, which is real solid.  Another important takeaway is that I didn’t pick either of my two losers to advance further.  I can still get all eight games correct.  I can still get all the remaining games correct.  Which is why I’m still in the top 1000 or so.  When Clemson won I actually stood at #371 for a short period of time.

As I said when I first started showing signs of success, the process was to intermingle a couple reasonable upsets with more mainstream higher seeds beating far lower seeds.  NC State advancing to where they are, that’s big.  Clemson knocking off Baylor was nice.  Never did I try to use anything related to gematria.  Not even going with the running joke of picking the opposite of what Zach picked.  That joke is amusing when he gets trolled for the $3700 his followers would have lost on the last NFL season, but fails to take into account that in almost 200 games you would also have lost money picking the opposite, probably just not as much.

The leaderboard changed a bit, the handful of brackets that picked 15/16 or all 16 jumped over previous leaders.  Because of the weighting that happens every year.  The key is to not have a black hole in your bracket.  Like if I picked Clemson for the final four and they lost in the first round.  Or any of the sad people that picked Kentucky to go deep.  All 50 spots on the leaderboard have the chance to max out the remaining games at 1890, 1880 or 1870 points.  I can achieve a respectable 1840 points.  Total possible points is 1920z

Prebunking

 https://www.pbs.org/newshour/politics/google-to-expand-misinformation-prebunking-initiative-in-europe

https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=1RmxeZHPeHg&pp=ygUKUHJlYnVua2luZw%3D%3D

This blog is a form of pre-bunking.  Don’t get caught up in the recent sports content, deep down there’s a message.  People spouting gematria are at best just innocently spending some time (arguably wasted) fiddling around with fun number connections.  At the worst, they are heavily into it’s more prevalent persona - fake evidence to help misinformation and disinformation spread.

As far as effectiveness, this blog is likely not terribly important without the mass dissemination of the content possible with the prebunking videos mentioned in the 60 Minutes segment.  But it’s my little baby and in a lot of ways for my own amusement.

Gematria has been pretty well prebunked at this point.  And a lot of it has to do with them being their own worst enemy.  It’s designed to appeal to the less than average intelligence level which is more importantly susceptible to the misinformation tactics making them feel smarter than they really are.  Now you too can “decode”.  You are an investigative journalist.  You are actually doing something instead of just watching the video and nodding your head in agreement.  What it’s not designed for is long term embrace of just gematria alone.  It requires an adjuvant or enzyme to catalyze it into a misinformation story.  It needs that pandemic, mass shooting or celebrity death to jump start it.  These guys and gals simply don’t have the initiative to spend a lot of time doing anything other than an after the fact decode.  Genuine predictions fail on a regular basis.

Why I’m saying they’re their own worse enemy - each and every video is already prebunked.  The mere fact that it’s a gematria video means we know it’s bullshit.  You know what they are going to say in advance way more often than not having a clue about what’s coming up.  The sports decodes will claim there’s a correct prediction when no genuine prediction was made.  Every celebrity that dies is a ritual sacrifice.  Somebody is the Antichrist and the end of the world has been soon for over a decade.  Somebody will make a big deal over a two digit number match between to separate words, connect them and marvel over it not realizing that the number of the day would actually appear hundreds or even thousands of times if they did gematria of more stuff than they do.  Alex Jones style topics will be parroted since that’s the main source of people woefully susceptible to spending money on the wrong answer.  And of course someone is going to ask you for money regardless of the topic.

And they really did themselves a disservice with the overpopulation of sports decodes.  If they didn’t spend so much time fighting amongst themselves we wouldn’t have all the fun clips of Hubbard contradicting himself and lying like crazy to justify his mediocrity.

Which isn’t to say we’re out of the woods completely.  Gematria has a grip on those who engage in disinformation where deliberately putting out bad information for engagement is the goal of the prebunk.  If they deem gematria to be too silly and not big enough to waste time with they will just find another avenue for the delivery system.

As the sands of time drop through the hourglass a significant amount of media has built up on the topic of gematria.  Although it’s concerning to not train them on what they are doing wrong to make a correction, something resembling the correct answer needs to be out there.  It doesn’t need to be character assassination (as fun as that is at times) but prebunking nudges to encourage looking for the right answer instead of the wrong answer.  I think that’s called education.

March Madness Gematria Part 3

 

I was wrong about my first round leading into the second - I had SMC beating Alabama and couldn’t possibly get it right.  One of my offbeat picks was Texas over Tennessee that was a tough fight, but ultimately a loss for Team Not Gematria.  No big deal, and on the plus side Gonzaga, although favored got through a tough fight with Kansas being down by a point at the half before a swarming defense and hot shooting turned it into a rout.  And actually, if Texas had won I’d probably had made the top 50 leaderboard of all brackets submitted.  After the Gonzaga results and the other early game that I got right I was ranked #132 out of 26.6 million 

With half the games done for round two I have 420 points.  This is only 20 points, 2 first round or one second round correct pick, off the pace of the tied for 45th place on the leaderboard.

Now what does that mean, to me, to the gematria decoders and the world at large?

I still have a chance to be the top dog.  Probably if Clemson loses today I can kiss that goodbye.  If I max out today’s results and finish 14 out of 16 for round two I can gloat a while longer.  Then see if my other less offbeat picks come through - as the tourney gets deeper typically  the Cinderella stories drop off after one big upset and very few people get a big push from a crazy low seeded Hail Mary pick.  And we’ll go back to this in a bit.

The gematria world?  Well they are busy talking about their brackets.  Not the leaders, the newbies and diehard gullible clowns that are posting in the comments of the leaders videos.  You see, it’s all theater.  Hubbard isn’t openly talking about his picks.  It’s behind a paywall and he’s never going to release a full bracket on day one of March Madness.  He usually only looks ahead to the current round of games, armed with advance knowledge of who is matched up.  Then he makes an educated guess on the outcome relying on non-gematria sources like millions of non-gematria influenced brackets.  It’s so magical that he can find a narrative for a heavily favored Illinois to beat Duquesne.  If Duquesne had advanced to the Elite Eight he wouldn’t be announcing his belief in them before the first round game.  That’s where the main weapon in his arsenal comes into play in this hypothetical - vaguely worded picking off both teams so he can say I told you so.

He relies on people not doing actual research when they get involved.  This tourney’s videos are NOT about what is going on in the this tournament.  They are part of the show for upcoming sports seasons.  The first time confirmation bias challenged decoders getting hooked on the NBA finals coming up aren’t going to look back years ago to what is actually going on.  They are going to consume their information skewed with the equally bad decency bias.  Assuming that the more recent videos about this March Madness are on the up and up.  And if they’re unlucky enough to make it the NFL next year they are closed minded enough to believe his constant Big Lie about the number of Super Bowl winners he’s picked.  Last we heard it’s only one in a decade.  Yeah, only one wrong if you get to change your pick a couple dozen times and wait until the finalists are decided.  Go back through his videos and blog posts and lock for screenshots like mine - actually showing what I have picked in advance for eight games.  You aren’t going to find it.  The best you’ll find is “well there’s this 47 ritual going on blah blah blah but you have to like how it’s the Jesuit anniversary of blah blah blah” and waffling between both teams.

Looking in advance to my possible outcomes again.  It’s a no win situation for me, tue non conspiracy theorist.  If I succeed in any way, it’s because that’s rigged that way.  If I stumble today and completely fall down, see how great the gematria is?  These are a group of people that at least subconsciously are used to being wrong a lot.  And instead of taking action to better themselves and adding a heavy dose of needing instant gratification they get a small window of a couple of sports seasons to feel superior to those that are intellectually and morally better than they are.  And this is the attitude that carries over into the lack of worth ethic and voting without an ounce of critical thinking that makes misinformation and disinformation so potent a threat.

Summing up the scenario where I continue to post bragging rights for the remainder of this March Madness.  The one where they’d claim it’s rigged to make me the gematria critic look good.  Well, there’s lots of critics out there to make look good.  They just aren’t as vocal about it is me.  Please explain if it’s rigged to make me look good, why the fuck it’s happening now instead of in 2018 when this blog got rolling?  If it’s a to reward me financially, why not just give me the money under the table, and a lot more money than ESPN’s big prize?  The massive amount of effort to rig a 67 game tourney just for little ole me is ridiculous bullshit.

March Madness Gematria Part 2

 I finished the day in far better shape than any bracket I’ve ever picked, being somewhere around the top 1000 of all brackets.  At one point I was 21-1 and ranked 436th of every single ESPN bracket out there.

And still I haven’t considered selling my picking skills on the Internet.  I don’t want the pressure to lie about my results that comes with.  Actually, every single one of my four wrong picks, I did not have advancing beyond the first round.  I can still theoretically get every single remaking game right.  I’m not going to show my next round fully, yet.  But I will say this for now.  My next big hurdle is not just this upcoming round, but even further.  I have Clemson going pretty deep.  I’m hosed pretty big if they lose in round 2.

Conspiracy Theories And Debt

Given that most of the conspiracy theories I look at have a solid connection between the baseless theory and a direct fundraiser for the promoter of the baseless theory, it’s no surprise that money issues pop up that strike my fancy.  

Starting with the gematria grift, the bulk of the activity is centered around a demographic that appears to be a younger crowd.  The age that is interested in playing sports as well as enjoying live events.  Simply put, younger people with dispensable income seek out entertainment to fulfill their social needs.  If you really think gematria works for improved success in your gambling endeavors, well you just go ahead and go crazy and gematrify to your hearts content.  But don’t try to push the bullshit parts on to the rest of us.  You can play with your toys while the adults figure out what to do about the important stuff.

Within that important stuff is an ongoing argument about what do about debt.  At the extremes neither the gung ho U.S. left wing give everyone freebies nor the gung ho U.S. right wing give more to the already rich people ideas work.  Free money gets you rampant inflation in the future.  Letting the financial sector run unregulated gets you global financial crises with too many corporations too big to fail just doing whatever they want.

John Oliver’s latest episode was about student loan debt.  And the nasty trap of debt that can be next to impossible to get away from.  Things like taking on huge student loans for a degree that ultimately doesn’t give you the employment edge you expect.  Once you’ve paid your university for the courses with the money you borrowed, they really don’t give a damn about what happens to you.  Unless you’re lucky enough to score a cushy job then they’ll fundraise the hell out of that section of the alumni, you included.

For a long time the tug of war between the main ideologies has gotten us to where we are now.  And the politicians that don’t call out baseless conspiracies for what they are also get to capitalize on the tug of war.  Instead of getting votes regarding how much entertainment you can get with disposable income it’s much easier to do political fundraising off how a lot, an awful lot, of people are financially screwed.  

Although I indicate the demographic for gematria grift is younger with gambling money to spare, there is and will be a set of people that have aged, made bad decisions and instead of student loan debt they have “I can’t pay my bills because my job is shitty and I refuse to actually settle down and try an honest days work” debt.  To be read in sarcasm font - employers just loooveeee how a bunch of people want unemployment compensation from day one and another bunch read on the internet that their value (salary) can be determined because some bogus headhunter site said the overinflated amount is true.

The losers in the tug of war are the average person, you could call them the middle class.  They aren’t truly the middle class anymore, so you can only call them that in name.  The gap between well off people who want no regulation on their often ill gotten gains and the woe is me sorry losers grows every day.  And the average person who is stuck in a decent job as far as pay scale goes has a miserable work/life balance because 20% of the people do 80% of the work.  And the best option, “Well just find a new job!”, is a lateral move that ends up being the same.  And all the time the chances to get into debt keeps growing.  Shit happens.  Kid goes to college that’s way pricier now.  Medical issue bankruptcy.  Fancy wedding Dad really can’t afford.  Messy divorce.

The social media atmosphere seems to enjoy the tug of war.  There are clear violations of community standards that have nothing happen to the perpetrator.  There are ticky tack penalties assessed for the stupidest reasons.  Those that report genuine violations are frustrated.  Those that get hit by unreasonable penalties are pissed.  They are all losers in the social media tug of war to pick a side, when maybe they just want a new piercing, a pet iguana and other chances to be an individual in a society determined to mold them into one of the two extremes.  And maybe have a dignified retirement to look forward to.

There is an attraction to baseless conspiracies as a solution to financial problems.  And maybe even more than current salary and level of enjoyment the soul crushing thoughts of being buried in debt are a larger factor.  There’s even a direct “get out of debt free Monopoly card conspiracy”, bypassing the get rich quick schemes:

https://www.adl.org/glossary/nesaragesara

Just to get by, 20% of the people doing 80% of the work can work for a time.  In a democratic system, 20% people f the voters can’t vote for 80% of the people.  That’s why we have so much news about topics like gerrymandering, voter suppression, and insurrections.  Gullible and financially desperate people get to vote too.  And they don’t really care about thinking critically about the long term consequences.  So they just latch on to the story that gives them the most hope, regardless of the overwhelming subjective evidence that will show it will result in just one of the bogus extremes.  The swing states and true moderates and those topics.  Those are the people that get the lovely choice of trying to mitigate the damage and going with the lesser of two evils.

Regardless of the outcome later this year, the U.S. loses.  People vote with their hearts and pocketbooks not with facts.  Like an election is a big football game that you get to replay even before the next big game in four years.  The final whistle has blown, but the opposing team is already lined up to run another play because the game is being protested.

March Madness Gematria

I’m 

 Alright, let’s go over again how sports gematria decoders operate.  Not the followers and joiners of the group discussions, but the leaders of the discussions.  You know, the ones with the Patreons and other fundraisers who could, if their system really worked, simply just place the bets themselves instead of relying on Patreon subscribers to have a steady supply of money flowing in.

Those screenshots are from my personal brackets that I made.  And yes, that’s right.  I’m on freaking fire.  That’s 15 out of 16 right.  The correct picks include getting a fair amount of upsets correct.  The one wrong pick in the entire set of games is #3 seed Kentucky losing to Oakland which lots of people are gonna have wrong.

Never in my life have I started off so well.  I have a working knowledge of basketball, mostly from watching a lot of pro games on TV in the 80’s and early 90’s.  I have watched college basketball on TV, too.  The working knowledge allows me to understand what is happening, the rules, coaching decisions, bad calls, etc….  What that doesn’t include the s anything even close to proficiency in predicting to make a career out of betting on games and expecting to make a lot of money.

For the record, this is on the ESPN Fantasy app.  And you can tell from the screenshots that it’s their format.  Like a lot of people I filled out multiple brackets, settling on four total.  The other brackets are just bland results.

None of my four brackets is truly busted yet.  (Certainly not the best performer).  The maximum final score still has heavy weighting on subsequent games deeper in the tournament.

Now let’s stay focused on the best bracket, beginning with my expectations.

Back to earth real soon, maybe even with the remaining games from the first round.

Weirdly, the lower rated brackets used ESPN’s auto fill features to complete it.  Instead of complete random I chose for it to weigh random picks by seeding.  The top performer used the same method, but with my brain inserting the occasional upset to not be so bland as picking favorites almost every game, at least until close to the finals like a lot of people do.

I’ve already done some things different here sports gematria decoders don’t and won’t do.  I’ve shared the full set of picks for today’s games.  That’s a big no-no for grifters.  The proper format for gematria grifters is one of two ways:

1). Don’t announce your “pick” until after the game is over, and lie about it claiming you made predictions in advance.

2). Go through a process, announced in advance, where you for all practical purposes pick both teams.  You may favor one narrative over another, but that leaves you an excuse for every loss.  That’s the preferred math but takes a lot more effort.  It puts on a show for the new Patreon recruits, too gullible to realize that you haven’t even announced your pick for the ultimate tournament champion, yet.  That’s another difference, I’ve shared who I have as the tourney champ.  They’ll never do that until somewhere around the point that it’s the Elite Eight or Final Four.

In both those scenarios, since I’ve forgotten more about the gematria grift than even the long time promoters will ever learn I can very easily concoct a gematria narrative justifying the winning pick.  And I know all the excuses for justifying when I got wrong.

Another difference, more for time restraints than planned  when I made the four brackets.  This entire post is spur of the moment and unplanned until I woke up and glanced at the phone and saw I was 12 for 12 at one point.  By the time it gets announced as a gematria “community” effort there are lots and lots and lots of brackets involved with varying degrees of success.  All averaging out to mediocrity because that’s the way static’s work.  You’re going to get a lot of congratulations to the winners and ignoring the many people that are already screwed that they picked Kentucky to go deep in the tournament.  An going a step with the announcing no-no’s, if and when I report on the next round, I’ve already picked NC State, fresh of an upset win to advance past Kentucky in round 2.  I must admit it feels good to think that Oakland’s chances of escaping again against a higher seeded team seems low.  Regardless, I don’t have NC State advancing further than that.

See the way actual predictions work?  See how I’ve mentioned SPECIFICALLY certain future outcomes I’m looking at?  See how I don’t actual declare them as PREDICTIONS, but they’re just PICKS IN MY BRACKET?

And you see how I didn’t go on social media (other than this blog) and try to sell my expertise to make a buck?  That’s the humility missing from the hard core monster truck rally announcer voiced Gematria YouTube video makers.  My future expectations are low because there’s a lot of luck involved.  And I’m not about to throw money into an endeavor that I see as mostly just a fun distraction while there are millions and millions of other picks that can trounce my final product.  Just like a football season is a long season, it’s a long tournament with a lot of chances for things to go wrong.

The Return of Measles

 https://www.cdc.gov/globalhealth/measles/data/global-measles-outbreaks.html#:~:text=COVID%2D19%20has%20increased%20the,world%2C%20including%20the%20United%20States.

https://www.nbcnews.com/news/amp/rcna138583

When childhood vaccinations became routine people grew accustomed to the process as being a routine that was certainly not fun, but necessary if one wished to raise a family.  Despite the typical don’t tell me what to do attitude that is even more popular today, no vaccination - no school.  There’s little else in the anti science propaganda that exhibits the deadly consequences like anti vaccination content.  Taking for granted not getting one of the big name childhood diseases lead to not caring about them.  Like the long forgotten bad dream that for all purposes they were.

Key word WERE.  Effective anti science propaganda has given us a resurgence in measles.  People got tired of getting pokes in the arm.  People had restrictions for Covid in place that prevented what were once routine vaccinations.  People assumed that it was something that only affected other people, not them.  The fact that a side effect of having measles could be deadly was less important than complaining about the economic side effects of Covid recovery like high gas prices.  The squeaky wheel gets the most attention.

And how on Earth does gematria fit into this picture?  Or flat earth, or the weird shit in the sky?  Aren’t these just silly and harmless?  Even kind of amusing to the casual observer smart enough to know the insanity behind the belief?

Anti science content has been around for a long time.  And health issues have suffers the brunt of the attacks.  It’s easy to make a new fad diet or pick some arbitrary solution to a health problem.  It takes a little more effort to up the game to the next level - but the first order of business is to attack the experts.  Those with the actual knowledge about what’s going on.

Sure you have free speech rights to voice your opinion that you think Ivermectin really cures Covid.  You have your life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness to engage in the wrong answer being fun for you.  It’s not so fun for those on the herd that suffer the consequences of your illiteracy and ignorance.  Our fad diet used to be a best selling book.  Then it was half hour infomercials on TV.  Now it includes sock puppets on the internet talking about how the numerology of Covid and measles matches the Jesuits and the Antichrist.  And some of the promoters of anti vaccination content can easily get up to date on their own vaccinations and still preach how evil they are.

https://www.press.jhu.edu/books/title/33293/deadly-rise-anti-science

The author of that book was active on Twixter as the whole vaccination/mask mandate/ivermectin/hydroxychloroquinine/Covid is a hoax clusterfuck of misinformation and disinformation was raging.  His pursuit of life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness - which includes empathy for others - was rewarded with death threats.  Of course Fauci was treated the same.  If measles or something else explodes to pandemic proportions there WILL BE others that are targeted by grifters looking to make a quick buck.

The gematria crowd has calmed down a lot lately, but there’s no reason to believe that the next pandemic won’t see a return of the same anti science angle to the narratives.  The only question right now seems to be is if it will be Alex Jones leading the charge, some other known big influencer of today leading the charge, or if somebody new will step up to the plate.

Gematria Education

 

It’s about freaking time, a new gematria cipher that at least makes some kind of sense.  And it seems inevitable when considering the other option on what to do with prime numbers of composite numbers.

What they would like you to think is that somehow this also alleged mystical cipher had been floating around for ages as another form of esoteric occult knowledge.  That picking a single or maybe the four base ciphers isn’t enough for you to match up virtually everything in your daily lives.  (And you really only do need just a few).  But now that there’s someone who’s been around a couple of rodeos already uncovered it maybe you need to upgrade your thinking to include this new magic spell into your spell book.

Composite numbers are and the cipher could be called, Not Prime Numbers.  Although Primes as a cipher has been around for awhile, the main use of prime numbers has been always as a list.  For example, 89 is the 24th prime number.  Used in a cipher x or c is 89 by itself, and even short words can get really big really quick.  By itself CAB=287, and TAXI CAB=471 in the Reverse Primes cipher.  CAB by itself is already approaching the end of the useful range of ordinary numbers.  TAXI CAB is already past…its prime.  Other than the fact that there are an infinite number of prime and composite numbers there are “more” composites, so the gematria of X,Y, and Z doesn’t get as out of control in this Composites cipher.  It’s much easier to use it as a list number than using a single letter.  So when 89 shows up (a much more reasonable total) that can be proclaimed to be 24 as needed.

As far as education goes there are things that make sense to do in a particular order.  Start off with the 100 level courses in college.  Master those then the 200s, 300s and 400s in that order.  In real math education you learn algebra, then geometry, then trig, then calculus.  Each building up to the higher concepts.  In fake gematria math you start out with the base ciphers, then get exposed to the other weird shit.  There are lots of long time clique leaders that start pretty much every video with the basics, knowing full well it’s all about attracting new students instead of making meaningful content for long term followers.

One of the annoying things about job search firms and websites is the immediate attempt to sell you more education to improve your resume instead of finding a fit of your current skills with an existing opening.  Like you can’t even wait to be working for three months before going to a seminar.  There’s too much side hustle money in convincing those job seekers that they aren’t ready for the updated market.  Which can be and is true.  And it’s also true that at times it’s just a bullshit money sucking waste of time.  In the world of conspiracy grifting, and using gematria as the example, you are NEVER starting off with the necessary skills to tackle an upgrade to the next level of courses.  There are no experts that have ever produced any meaningful content that leads to a benefit in real life.

And when they trot out something like a new cipher it’s checking to see if you’re ready to advance to the mid level of the MLM pyramid.  You’re wasting a lot of time talking about a new cipher?  Maybe you need to start your own blog.  Make your own videos.  Maybe you’ll get more attention if you add some coursework in anti vaxx or sovereign citizen content.  Maybe you need to be unleashed in the comments section of the enemy sports decoder who’s drawn away too many followers from your cult leader.  Going beyond the basics is painting a bullseye on yourself to be courted into the next level of promotion and/or getting your wallet sucked dry.

Calling it Gematria Education gives it way more credit than it deserves to have.  There’s no intent to enlighten or find truth.  It is, in fact, the opposite of education.  It’s a method of finding those who refuse to get actually educated and want to do their own research to satisfy their own biased opinions about any topic.  Then it’s a race to see who can reel in the school of fish first or for the most meat out of a single fish.

The Shopping Cart Theory

https://scoop.upworthy.com/viral-shopping-cart-theory-determines-moral-character-440106-440106-440106-440106-440106-440106

A fascinating part of being in a society is the depths of insanity we go for attention.  When confronted with a moral character assessment and trying to be honest with oneself, what exactly do you do?  The real answer is you argue about it.  And the sillier the argument is the better.

Enter the viral shopping cart debate, where someone assessed that you are a savage animal useless to society if you can’t even be troubled to return your shopping cart to an appropriately designated spot.

Scrolling down that article you can find a meme revolving around Dumgeons & Dragons alignments.  This highlights the “all in good fun” intent of the debate.  Or is it all in good fun?  Because when things go viral there are a lot of people that take it way too seriously.  Like differing views on famous philosophy texts there’s lots of room for subjectivity in how to deal with shopping cart returns.  I’d like to think the original piece chose shopping carts to be the most engaging lunacy that could be thought of just for fun.  There is no real “right answer”.  I have just had an exercise in my own confirmation biases.

For the record, my first thoughts went to not returning the cart to the store.  I’m a diehard return it to the corral kind of guy.  Weekly shopping trips have led to significant interactions with the employees whose job it is to gather the carts.  And whether they’ve been coached to be polite, they are just genuinely polite, or they have a hidden agenda that they are actually not polite but sizing me up as a potential victim of their scam I do not know.  But what if that’s part of their job to put in hours and get paid for it, and everyone returns carts to the store and they get laid off?

Even the meme with nine different choices places one firmly in a defined little box with no room for nuance and context.  There’s no spectrum to define an objective assessment of exactly what is right and what is wrong.  At best it gives armchair philosophers and theologians an excuse to keep philosophizing and theologically active.  And that’s why it’s viral, because people being idiots would rather argue than find out what is right or wrong.

Conspiracy Gematria fits in nicely with the world of confirmation bias.  And I propose an enhancement to the thought experiment.  Don’t even give the potential scenarios of what the options are to do with the empty cart.  Just do the gematria of SHOPPING CART.  That’s the way to tell if the other person fits into you world or if they are to be avoided.  You can get a good sense of they are truly spiritual, just think you can make predictions of sports games or the stock market, wish harm upon a marginalized group, are amazed by coincidences that aren’t really coincidental just by the reaction to the request to gematrify SHOPPING CART.

And in that case the right answer could be that you prefer not to waste your time with it and wish to Google Shopping Cart Philosophy and see what the hell all the fuss is about.

I’m certain there’s a fair number of shopping cart agnostics out there.  That other than a fun little quirky meme can distract them the same way a video of a cat pushing things off the table can make them chuckle simply do not care to invest serious energy into shopping carts.  Conspiracy gematria is different.  Those of that ilk have a strong desire to push their views on to others.  There is a rough starting equation for giving a more objective approach to your social media interactions:  GEMATRIA + AGENDA = TROUBLE.  Gematria as a broad group is well defined.  A coefficient (adjectives) is needed.  Is it sports gematria, is it cryptocurrency, is it the Rapture, is it synchronicity, or something else even weirder?  The agenda part, that can often be tricky.  The easiest one to uncover is money.  Getting attention follows in second place.  And genuinely trying to convince people it has some real significance in this day an age is almost nonexistent in the circles I travel in.  You simply do not see a true believer in religious gematria popping into a the comments of a sports decoding video suggesting that what they are doing is wrong.  The AGENDA also needs a coefficient adjective, where truly spiritual thoughts lower that part of the equation to near zero.

And notice that I offered no suggestions on how to approach the actual numbers part of the gematria of SHOPPING CART.  That’s another weakness of gematria.  People have a pretty good idea of what a shopping cart is.  Nobody has a clue on a correct method to do gematria.  The rules for doing the gematria are defined by the AGENDA, creating an unsolvable equation.  A huge downside for a system that gets attraction because those that suck at math get a taste of success by doing some trivial math.

Imaginary

Imaginary is an astoundingly mediocre film released just a couple of weeks ago.  As of now the box office receipts are a shade over the estimated budget.  Which brings up my first objection.

In this day and age you always hear that a movie isn’t considered a success unless it makes some significant percentage over the estimated budget.  Then the alleged experts make some caveat about something like the estimated marketing BUDGET that wasn’t included with the estimated budget.  Like somehow they don’t understand what the word BUDGET means when giving their success or failure story the first time around.

Usually these success or failure stories are emphasized on big budget blockbusters instead of tiny in comparison little 10-20 million dollar budget movies.  But sometimes these movies can explode into a hugely profitable undertaking, often with the moniker of cult classic attached to them.  Not everyone is as talented as someone like a Sam Raimi that can make a micro budget movie into a success story like The Evil Dead.  And one of the failures of Imaginary is its ironic lack of imagination.  The plot is awfully similar to The Conjuring where an imaginary universe is messing with children.  Unlike The Comjuring the child has grown to adulthood that needs to sort out some issues with the evil entities first encountered in childhood.  But then it also concludes with the obligatory ending sequel bait right before the ending credits.

In the glory days of Blockbuster, Imaginary probably would have gotten several sequels.  With an even smaller budget than the relatively low budget of the first.  Maybe the second movie would be the same producers and director and some of the cast.  Eventually nothing to do with the original other than the name.  Throw in some popular B movie popular names, an aging star cameo from someone desperate for a paycheck and then finally fade into oblivion.

——————————————————————-

All the ideas of gematria and other conspiracy grifting are nothing new.  Looking for a social media account that isn’t an established name from around 8-10 years ago that is active and isn’t simply rehashing the older stories gets more an more difficult as time marches on.  There’s no new exciting, innovative clique to latch on to.  Views, comments and sharing are at an all time low.  The sports decoders are all equally bad at predicting game winners.  Predicting the end of the world every day and it not happening is super tedious.  Even trying to incite violence against an arbitrary scapegoat is lower than one would maybe expect for an election year.

So what’s missing from the gematria narratives now that makes it so boring compared to the heyday from years ago?

Good word of mouth advertising.  Nothing makes a low budget film explode like capitulating audiences and talking it up.  And movies that suck don’t get talked up.  The ideas aren’t new, even for successful cult classics, they’re just well done for the budget.  There’s no celebrity endorsements, try as they might.  Even politicians that enjoy capitalizing on the hatred of the other side aren’t openly talking about how cool they are because of the gematria.  They have no advertising budget, just another sequel that is a rip off of another bad movie, day in and day out.  And getting people to see your “Barbie” because you advertise that “Oppenheimer” sucks isn’t really good when the masses find out and decide that your movie sucks based on its own merits.

Now I’d like to think that the influx of critics in recent years has an impact.  They are more intelligent than they used to be, armed with knowledge of relevant info about why exactly the gematria narratives suck.  But ultimately it’s word of mouth that decides.  Who cares what Roger Ebert thinks when millions of people went to Rotten Tomatoes to praise how they were actually entertained?

And here the gematria clique leaders have become their own worse enemy.  Constantly bickering over whose movie sucks more than their movie instead of providing any relevant and enjoyable content.  Not that they care to improve the product.  It’s always been about the box office today and worrying about sequels…maybe later.  If there is a useful function for gematria it lies in some relatively innocent lulz as you poke around looking at fun synchronization with your name and your current events or without actually putting money on it screw around and decode the Super Bowl.  But the masses are tiring of the doom and gloom stories.

There is a reason for this post.  I always get riled up when the arbitrary scapegoat crisis actor stories pop up and I don’t regret what I said.  I shared that with a friend who commented that the maker of that gematria should have their head beaten on the pavement to knock some sense into them.  Not cool, but he’s also fed up with all the doom and gloom, so I get it.  However, after poking around I found that to be an outlier.  As far as Twixter and YouTube went there wasn’t much content worth talking about.  It could be that as soon as the title of your movie contains the word gematria or similar wording that people just don’t want to watch it anymore.  Same goes for the eclipse stories.  There’s some, but not as much as there could be.  Supposedly we are in the golden age of grifting, but it’s not centered around gematria anymore.  Maybe a good old fashioned fad diet is the way to go.  We’re waiting to see how this all plays out through early November.

Gematria Classes Available

So exactly what is the curriculum to study to become a top notch gematria influencer?  There are no classes!  Gematria influencers have no class, in fact at times they even display negative amounts of class while seeking to be some sort of empathy antimatter reactor.  Time and again somebody will dig into old stories and see what works to be an effective attention whore, and what better way to show your lack of empathy than to latch on to a tasteless crisis actor story.  Too many gematria users like the spreader of this gematria decode on Twixter show they have no class. 

Taking a break from sports decoding and cryptocurrency based on followers, who they are following, and posts apparently.

It’s bad enough that we don’t know the full details of what was going on in the heads of the two main combatants.  There’s a huge racially motivated angle to the armchair quarterbacks commenting on social media.  And you can suffer with the knowledge that amidst the bad hot takes there are some smart enough to admit, even if only rather blandly, that they are offering an opinion.  But gematria influencer wannabes take crisis actor reports to a whole new level.  Now there’s EVIDENCE.  Extremely shoddy evidence.  Where a young girl’s head was smashed repeatedly into the ground, because her parents chose a particular name at birth.

Don’t misinterpret that, we get that you’re “out” for being a soulless ghoul that thinks Alex Jones is the coolest person ever.  But this is a variation of how Sandy Hook exploded into the undying conspiracy it is today.  Die hard gematria junkies are heavily force fed a diet of the importance of someone’s name as the primary source of “useful” gematria information.  And there are literally thousands of Kaylees in the US.

The same people that brought us Qanon election interference really don’t need an excuse to arbitrarily target any girl named Kaylee as a government agent/crisis actor/fake person or whatever other bullshit they try to spin out of it.  And that’s just KAYLEE,  not including the already admitted to variation of KAILEE, or the other possible variations using C/K, Y/I or KAILEIGH or other picks.  Along with the force fed diet of name importance, these people love themselves a fun little game of ‘close enough’ to round out their narrative.  And it’s all fun and games until someone’s brain gets bashed on the pavement the next time and you start looking for this as some kind of clue for how you can skip work and whine about how the world is out to get you.

And you know what’s super fun about gematria decodes?  What else is close enough?  These same decoders can just pop a name into a database and find other government agents/crisis actors/fake persons.  Sure LADY GAGA is a top hit because she’s a big unsolicited celebrity endorsement.  But just female first names alone matching KAYLEE on gematrix.org:

Ally, Lyla, Nya, Antonette (yeah, without the I, don’t forget the close enough rule), Maiya, Cecylia, Ayn.  And that’s the first ten pages only.  Without the dozens of ciphers available on the Gematrinator calculator.

Many years ago when the Zachosphere was operating at full mimic Alex Jones talking points mode there was a little girl creamed by a baseball at a pro game, which of course made headlines.  It was a fun bandwagon to jump on.  There did seem to be a push within a few weeks to months to admit that it was a terrible accident.  Perhaps they’ve learned that this story is something to be avoided.  So far there’s been no significant content.  We can still hold it against them that somewhere there is a lonely and bored sports decoder that thought mocking a girl fighting for her life with possible permanent brain damage was a good idea.  I suppose it’s safe to make no class decodes as these type of people don’t normally have the ability to form any compassionate long term relationships.  So finding out your chosen partner has a bad name is no problem when you have no chance of finding a partner.  Because you will find every name is a sign of evil sooner or later.  Much better to stick with your imaginary friends and enemies.

Calling for Reinforcements

There’s an old saying,

Business is war

Billy could limit his efforts to to finding friendly to the cause boys and girls to put aside their non military duties.  Hey you, drop those farm chores and futures options trading and strap on your best anti Jesuit arms and armor and get out here.

Although his unit has been trained to attack the NFL being rigged, there are folk friendly to the cause that are wasting their time doing stock trading.  Mostly cryptocurrency instead of stocks, but close enough.  The same ammunition fits.  All gematria ammunition fits.  That’s what it’s designed for.  Sam the invest man uses the same tiny numbers.  He just chooses to ignore sports.

In the meantime, outside of Billy’s battle there’s big news in cannabis.  And the chance to get unregulated weed is too much to pass up, because drugs are cool and when the gematria dog whistle blows they start salivating and sativa-ing all over the place.  But mostly, when your business has an employee turnover problem that war dictates you try and intercept as many crypto bros as you can to the cause.

But if Billy wants to really be a hero, it takes hypocritical balls of steal (not a typo) to walk right into the enemy camp and make his pitch for them to change sides.

Grift Magnetism is War.  Put that on a t-shirt.  Because to varying degrees the folks @‘d in and tagged in have all been targets as shills and corrupt government pawns that you are supposed to hate.  And even at times been declared to be Jesuits.  Maybe, just maybe, they don’t acknowledge your presence because you’re the enemy.  And it’s far more likely they expect your up to no good and don’t trust you.  Mostly because you are no good and untrustworthy.  Being thrown under the bus is not a lot of fun, even for the bus business.  It fucks up the suspension and takes way too much money to repair the damage.

This happens frequently, where the Shill Game has someone trying to attract new followers just by interrupting conversations to get people’s attention.  It doesn’t usually get to the point of trying to get someone to change sides.  The people that think reptilians are disguised as prominent figures don’t mix well with other contradictory topics.  Like not be reptilians but Jesuits.  The reptilian lovers tend to think Jesuit topics are Icky.  They’ve been bombarded with their personal rabbit holes and tend to stick with that.  No, usually it just gets limited to picking a random popular not terribly political celebrity to interrupt and recruit off of.  Because they have so much traffic the celeb will never see the comment, their PR person in charge of the messages will ignore it and it’s just a show for the random clueless haters that show up getting a chance to trade in their hatred for something more active - trolling is fun.
