Me and the squeeze some where in Nevada.

Why thank you Caspa, we now have Steven's last name. When you will be getting married (public notices and all that) thingies.

It will be a easy run of it now tracing down Steven's real identity and location in L.V using public database information. If he does actually exist.



You just compromised your boyfriend.

Shane, that's a cool bike! I've got a canary yellow TGB 101-S; 100mpg. What's the dark one below the red Ducati?



Do my eyes deceive me, or is Dan's name lacking a PhD. at the end?!? He's been delimited to "Science Director"?!?

p.s. Shady, I trust you're not threatening anyone, right?

Local ET Contact Activity Report
By Ed Komarek
2/27/08
Copy and Distribute Freely
My blog: http://exopolitics.blogspot.com/

I have discussed in some previous writing some of the local ET activity in my area. Years ago I developed my own personal intelligence gathering network locally that at one time was bringing in about a couple of sightings a week over a 50 mile radius from my home near Cairo Georgia. When I started going out and researching these, what I call collateral sightings, I found that sometimes the collateral sightings lead to a contactee that was a source of those sightings. Some of these contactees that have ethical ET contact became my friends over the years and we share information between us. Mostly this detailed information was not to be disclosed to the pubic for ET security reasons and for the security of the contactees.

Recently things have begun to change for the better and my contactee friends are becoming more forthcoming for a couple of reasons. One reason seems to be that world governments have been breaking their promises to certain ethical ET groups to openly disclose extraterrestrial reality to the public in a controlled manner. There has been a lot of foot dragging over the years and the ETs have given the world governments an ultimatum either to disclose or they will do the job for them. A recent increase of ET activity worldwide seems to back up this assertion as well as what seems to be a corresponding increase in world government disclosure.

A second reason for a more forthcoming release of information from my contactee friends seems to be that warfare between their human and humanoid ET friends and a reptilian race is heating up over the future of this planet and some other worlds as well. I was recently surprised to learn that there really is something to these, outrageous speculations of reptilian carnivore ETs eating human and other animals from earth. I was told by a contactee that large numbers of people are going missing around the world. It would seem that these reptilian ET predators are living off the land so to speak when they are here. "
......

This is especially interesting bearing in mind what I was told (see thread in Active Mind section). I wasn't told WHO my contacts were in conflict with but would seem to be these reptilians then. I wonder if my contacts (the only one I 'saw' during channeling and was human in appearance) are the guys described below? One thing I did learn was that were vegetarian.

"3. The Tytrains: All three of my contactee friends have these ETs as friends especially two brothers whose first names start with A. There are also two sisters one whose name starts with S. The sisters are more recent arrivals and one was injured in a battle with the Reptilians but is okay now. The men are muscular Hercules types five and half to six feet tall and the S one of the females is about five feet three inches tall. The men are around 800 years old, don’t leave fingerprints, are sexy, both men and women are vegetarians and come from the direction of the Horse Head Nebula. They are 4-5 light years away. These distances seem to be very close so I wonder if these distances are correct. "

The black bike is an old(er) 1998 Honda VFR 800 fuel injected model. Interestingly enough...when I was out on a motorcycle tour last year...It was suffering from some serious electrical gremlins.....it blew the battery caps right off of the top of the battery and spewed out the acid all over us and the bike. We came to a halt right underneath the Area 51 sign with the little green bastid on it.......HAHAHAHAHa, just after sunset. I took some money and bought some Aquafina distilled water from a vending machine there in the truck stop (that was closed)...dumped a bottle in the battery...let it simmer for a while and shoved some scrap plastic on top where the caps used to reside....then I pulled all the fuses from my bike with the exception of the EFI...and ran a "total loss" system doing about 140 all the way into Beatty NV.

During the tour we went through Joshua Tree, Laughlin, Vegas, Beatty, 2 days in Death Valley (awesome)....I hope to be buying property out in AZ in about 2-3- months....

No threat implied Don just pointing out a massive mistake on Caspa's part which isn't corrected by Dan Buriosch at their forum.

Here is Mongrel supposed deep cover operative agent for the deepest cover intelligence agency to exist.

Here is Mongrel's dim blub new girl friend giving out his last name all over the internet.

I've got my first response from my letters going out....

February 29, 2008

Dear Xxx:

Thank you for contacting me regarding several House Resolutions calling for the impeachment of Vice President Richard Cheney. I appreciate having the benefit of your views on this very important issue.

As you may know, my colleague, Representative Dennis Kucinich (D-OH), introduced H. Res. 333. This legislation calls for Congress to set forth articles of impeachment against Vice President Cheney. Representative Kucinich has also introduced H. Res. 799, which also calls for articles of impeachment to be brought against the Vice President. While reasonable people can disagree about the policies the administration has pursued, our Constitution provides for a clear separation of powers between the branches of the government. Just as the President and Vice President have no authority to punish or reprimand Congress or its members, the Congress does not have the authority to pass judgment on the ordinary actions of the President and Vice President. Only in the rare case of impeachment for high crimes and misdemeanors does the Congress have any authority to issue public judgment on the Executive. In that regard, I do not believe that the actions of the Vice President warrant the pursuit of articles of impeachment as outlined in this resolution.

Presently, both H. Res. 333 and H. Res. 799 are awaiting action in the House Committee on the Judiciary, of which I am not a member. Please know that I will be sure to keep your views in mind when this legislation is addressed by the full House of Representatives.

Again, thank you for writing. Please feel free to contact me in the future with any additional issues or concerns you may have.


Sincerely,

Jon C. Porter
Member of Congress

I think he missed the point. Probibly just a standard reply, eh?

Dag

Nothing wrong with a little transparency as to who we're dealing with. At least we know it's one less sock-puppet. Maybe you can get a photo to add to our gallery? lol!





Yes, Dag, it sounds like you got a form letter reply; if you looked at some of the formats for contacting them through their websites, you often have to choose a category as to why you're contacting them. They even have built-in search engines that pick out key words and jump to the conclusion they think you're looking for. As I said earlier, the entire approach insults our intelligence. Unfortunately, having been a volunteer for these politicos and would-be politicos, I know how it works. If you want "access", you usually have to donate to their campaigns. He who gives the most money gets the most ear. That's one reason I don't use those forms; did you use an online form to communicate, that gave you that response? Then chances are not even a single human staffer saw your email.

But don't feel discouraged; this is one reason why paperwork sent snail-mail, in a manila envelope, gets more attention. Firing off an email in the passion of the moment (usually following a news broadcast) is an easier thing to do, but putting it on paper and mailing it has more impact, as it takes more effort. An envelope on the front desk's inbox, handed over by the postmaster, is more "real" than an email that can be deleted with a single click of the mouse.

Hmmmm.......Dow Jones falling more than 302 points today. More school violence, too. The signs are starting to pile up.

DonD

The forklift was last used for placing heavy tile on roofs.

(Note: Whoops. I posted this before looking on the page. Thanks for the pics Shady).


I still have the small unit. I couldn't drive it around in the sand with little tires, so, I removed the heavy lift and built it into another backhoe bucket. I can always get another bucket. I use this tractors' additional levers for a wood splitter, now, I'll rig the splitter to the mini unit seeing it's not much use without the lift.
Two stage ram and if I need to elevate it higher I can raise the front loader.
These lifts are extremely powerful. I found that out by bending a piece of steel bar by accident. I recently used the mini to pull large stumps out of the ground.
These are tools for a guy who needs the extra strength. I feel my age now and maybe, for our last days they'll come in handy for the work that might be required of us.
Again recently, I had to repair our roof, the powerful wind blew parts of it off.
I used this mini to put the compressors, hoses, roof patching materials, etc,..up on the roof.
For one thing or another, all the eqiupment has proved to be invaluable, especially, when their needed.

Dex

Shady’s favorite Stand Up Skit of Jerry Seinfeld..

“Have you ever noticed on your street when ever they (the City) pulls out the heavy construction equipment. The Back Hoe’s, dump trucks, street garters. Men will hypnotically leave their houses and subconsciously gravitate towards the work site with beers in hand and simply mingle?

Heavy construction equipment have the same effect on men like a half naked stripper and strip joint. We literally get turned on by power tools. It makes no difference that we’re not driving the equipment we all flock to the construction site like bee to honey. Its instinct. We stand there mingle and guard the site. Like “back off men at work here!”


LOL

Shady

The only problem is maintenance and when you have to repair them.
Everything is big. Hard labor.
I never had the need to use these things before until I expanded my projects.
It all began with learning to weld. I remember I couldn't afford a car trailer, so, I built one from scrap steel. First, I had to acquire the welder. And that's how it started with me.

Dex

okay lets clear the ayre a bit, not not forever, but for a bit

the universe is composed of nothing but workers
works
its gets piled onya

spend your life prying into others works
nose outa joint
so sure ya right

what is right?

nuna us
we all baby chiles

dan? no biggie, just a mouthy person that is yes
working for what he believes
however insane you may thank it is

blame? go 'head be a blame artist, blame everyopne you can get your
eyeteeth on
and try to make it their fault.
won't make you any better
just more filled with doubts.

so how do we approach the ~alien~ agenda
well, we say some shit
afterall words are golden
that puts eberyones
inna plaze
where there is no more doubt

so go
down into the various phantasms
we all go
go again
go again

show me the shine
the shine of your japan
i'm gonna sell my house in town
and i'll be there

what my point is:
judge not lest ye be judged
aliens
humans
whatever
you have no right at all to
be so judgemental
because why?

because
each and every one of yew
is just ummm
positively
to coin a phrase
clueless

so show compassion
for yourselves
most of all
and next for the aliens
and lastly
for all foibles
drifting
throughout the cosmos
with no end in sight
except the mrith of the
Spirit of Mystery
who only then can tell you
how right you might be

who cares anyway how right you might be
you will get no award anyways

what is the alien agenda
to brang whirld peese
how is that done?
by erasing all forms of violence
even in your own particluar mind
even for good reason
don't do it
don't go there
don't suppose
that you know.
(even you john)

you don't.
just plain don't.
just be at peace.
that is rennaissance.
yup, it comes and goes.,\@!
be a part of the schtuff that comes
and doesn't go.

you ain't gonna die.
we aren't getting blotted.
no, the Aztecs didn't know evrything.
this creation was not built right down to the every second that
all of us speaks
to each other
to have:
a. a hollow moon
b. a planet X
c. a sudden honest creation
d. any other

make the spirit of man...run any faster

in my humble opinion
and no i am not schtupid
the spirit of man
is just getting started
just getting started

the major events will happen long after 2012

what we are being wrapped around here
is nothing
a tale told by an idiot full of sound and fury
and signifying very littol

your mileage may vary

Congrads To Don and Toni!


The Good Guys Win! Youtube and Dan Burisch cave in and on the run!

Uncle John here: That was a real good one ubleck. A real good one.

My life is made brighter by your being.

I was at the bar today, eating and drinking lunch when Karen sitting next to me started squirming around doing an exercise on her seat. She said to me that if she kept this up she might be able to orgasm. And then it hit me.

I'm going to eliminate boredom from the universe. Every being will always have something interesting to deal with, like a ubleck poem.

I don't have the slightest clue how I'm going to eliminate boredom, but I might as well try.

Since everyone is sharing

Mine Water Poses Danger of a Toxic Gusher 28 Feb 2008 (CO) This month, Lake County commissioners declared a state of emergency over concerns that rising levels of contaminated water could burst from the Leadville Mine Drainage Tunnel and flood the town... The aging tunnel, which stretches 2.1 miles, has become dammed by debris. The debris is holding back more than a billion gallons of water, much of it tainted with toxic levels of cadmium, zinc and manganese. [Bush is waiting for the toxic water to gush, so that he can send Halliburton, KBR and Blackwater in for the 'cleanup.' Dollars to doughnuts, Bush already has the no-bid contract signed, sealed and delivered - much like the New Orleans contracts with same, after he blew the levies. --LRP]
