  Who are you to be LOST…

It’s you! It’s always about you and your inner most lost mind. The people I meet can describe a lost feeling of where and why. Never who or when!

It’s ok to dream alone or in color, color of time and color of visions. Sometimes the far away people think we are lost.

I am lost when I roam from land to land and into other worlds, lost could be a soul or a touch. A touch of lost time.

Losing love is losing a small piece of this world but the memories will never be lost. A lost child can always be found in patches of lost gardens.

You can lose yourself of everything but you can’t lose the spent moments, the moments of seeing a lover or a beautiful mind.

As long as you have beautiful you, they say in time you can never be LOST…♥️

  Is disinformation protected by the 1st Amendment?

Lots of talk from pols about stopping disinformation, misinformation.

I see a trend developing where such claims will enable government(s) to censor.

The only truth will be government sanctioned and approved of, truth!

The Gardener Mulls


The gardener comes; the gardener goes
The season ebbs, and the season flows

The birds will sing the mornings' ring
as light to night everything dulls
while the gardener mulls...

As the gardener mulls
the spacing of his pride
obsessively compelled
compulsively tried

And pretty petunias all in a row
with precise allotments 
from which to grow

The gardener mulls
to and fro
from here to there
he comes and goes

The seasons swing
yet the gardener mulls
with trembling hands
he still doth sow

And winters' dawn
cold rain then snow
of dismal days
that once did glow

To days gone by
and beauty nulled
overgrown the weeds
where a gardener
(once) mulled

  Pope Francis Slams Worlds Shameful Inability To Stop Israel-Gaza War
Posted by: FlyersFan - 10-09-2024, 01:27 AM - Forum: The Middle East - Replies (5)

So the latest thing from the globalist pope who hates that countries have borders ....

On the anniversary of the 10/7 attack, he comes out and says that he is 'with the people of Gaza' in their suffering.  He says nothing of Israel being attacked every day for a year and nothing about the hostages and nothing about the terrorist attack that started all this, nothing about the fact that the people of Gaza support the terrorist attacks on Israel.   And he says nothing about how Iran should stop funding the terrorism that Israel is reacting to.  Nope.   He just tells Israel to stop protecting itself and he blames the world for not interjecting themselves into the situation to stop it.  

I really can't stand this guy.  I really really can't stand him.

Pope Francis Slams Worlds Shameful Inability To Stop Israel-Gaza War

Quote:Pope Francis criticised on Monday what he called the "shameful inability" of the international community to end the war in the Middle East, one year after Hamas' devastating attack on Israel.
 On Sept. 29, the 87-year-old pontiff criticised Israeli airstrikes in Lebanon that killed Hezbollah leader Sayyed Hassan Nasrallah as well as non-combatants, suggesting the airstrikes went "beyond morality".
 
Earlier in September, the pope called Israel's actions in Lebanon "unacceptable" and urged the international community to do everything possible to halt the fighting.
 
In his letter on Monday, Francis directly addressed Gazans: "I am with you, the people of Gaza, long embattled and in dire straits. You are in my thoughts and prayers daily," he wrote.
 
"I am with you, who have been forced to leave your homes, to abandon schooling and work and to find a place of refuge from the bombing. ... I am with you, who are afraid to look up for fear of fire raining down from the skies," he said.

  Al Pacinos Near Death Experience
Posted by: FlyersFan - 10-08-2024, 01:36 PM - Forum: Paranormal Studies - Replies (4)

Some people see a tunnel with a bright loving light at the end.
Others see people and animals who have died before us.
Others have interactions with God.
But most have 'the void' ... nothingness.
You disappear into the blackness of nothing.
No thoughts.  No memories.  You become nothing.
And that's what Al Pacino had during his near death experience
after catching COVID and having a medical emergency (death) from it.

AL Pacino Describes His Death

Quote:"Yeah. They said my pulse was gone. It was so — you’re here, you’re not. I thought: Wow, you don’t even have your memories. You have nothing. Strange porridge," Pacino explained.
 What did he see when he lost his pulse and was on his way out of this world?
Nothing.
 
"It actually did. I didn’t see the white light or anything. There’s nothing there. As Hamlet says, ‘To be or not to be’; ‘The undiscovered country from whose bourn, no traveler returns.’ And he says two words: ‘no more.’ It was no more. You’re gone. I’d never thought about it in my life. But you know actors: It sounds good to say I died once. What is it when there’s no more,"

  My close encounter of the first kind.
Posted by: OneStepBack - 10-08-2024, 07:02 AM - Forum: Aliens & UFOs - Replies (4)

The UFO sighting occurred when I was 7 years old. We lived in a newly-built detached dormer bungalow on an end plot. We had lived there for around a year. It was a new area that was being developed (just under 7 acres) so my scant memories were living on a building site. For several weeks prior to the incident the houses in our local area were being visited by a prowler who would knock on windows or spy through windows were the curtains were open. I do not have any recollection of being frightened by this.

The neighbours around us, along with my father, decided to set a trap to catch the prowler. They deliberately left our rear gate open. They had devised a way to let each know when to go outside to try and catch him. It was around 7pm and I remember it was dark. The knock at the front window then back and my father told us to go to bed while he ran outside. I shared a bedroom with my brother which was the dormer bedroom upstairs. We had a good vantage point so we climbed up to the window to see if they had caught the prowler. We didn’t see anything so got in our beds. I remember my brother, who was 18 months younger than me, fell asleep.

They caught the prowler fairly quickly according to my mother. One of the neighbours who helped to catch him was an off-duty police officer. He arrested him and called for police assistance. It turned out to be one of the neighbours, an unfriendly man and a trouble causer by all accounts. I was not aware they had caught him and as my brother laid sleep I decided to climb up and look out the windows again. I looked ahead across the field but was immediately drawn to a bright light on the left side of my field of view. I turned towards it and realised immediately that it was a spaceship.

It was approximately 30-40 metres (100-130 feet) away at a height of 25-30 metres (80-100 feet) from the ground. It moved slowly, approximately 20 miles per hour, with no sound coming from it. The direction it was heading towards is south. In the image below the blue ‘X’ marks the property we were in. Please note this ariel view is not drawn to scale.  The rectangles mark the property boundaries which includes the front garden and rear yard. In our case we had a large side garden as well which is not visible on the image below.   The blue cross shows which side the window was located from which I had the encounter. The pale blue rectangles are properties that were in the process of being built.  The small thickness grey areas are footpaths whereas the large grey areas are roads.  The neighbours to the south of us were separated by a footpath.

It was a domed shape UFO in fact the dome dwarfed the other features. The dome was also rotating slowly taking around 5-10 seconds for a full revolution. It was approximately between 10-15 metres (30-50 feet) in diameter with a height between 5-8 metres (15-25 feet). The colour was like nothing I had ever seen before like a high luminosity gold. The one thing that convinced me, as an adult, that I had not been dreaming is the fact it was shimmering like it was here but not here. In Star Trek the terminology they use is ‘phase shifting’. This is beyond the comprehension and imagination of a seven year old. I did not watch Star Trek until I was 12 years old.

“Phase shifting, or phasing, is the process by which objects and materials can be placed out of phase from normal substances which can cause effects from invisibility to allowing objects to completely pass through each other.” ~ Star Trek fan website
                         
I could not find any evidence that this is grounded in actual science.

My image skills are not at expert level but reasonable.  I blurred the UFO in an attempt to create the shimmering (phase-shift). The legs criss-crossing I now presume to be landing legs. They were far more intricate and appeared above the horizontal section as well.  There were not as many criss-crosses as in the image. The landing legs were also a darker yellow but with a green-grey hue. There were no visible windows in the craft. I didn’t see any aliens.

I stared in apprehension for around 10-15 seconds before quickly getting into bed and placing the blankets and sheet over my head. I don’t remember going to sleep, in fact I do not remember anything else from that night or from the days or weeks following the incident. This could be due to a period of mundane living with nothing standing out that would warrant a specific memory.

To this day the recollection of this close encounter of the 1st kind remains as vivid like happened yesterday. Only one question really lingers is why no one else seems to have seen something so close. We have a local daily evening newspaper. I did check in it for a number of days but can’t recall anything being mentioned

  Vatican Issues Warning Against Voting for Trump
Posted by: FlyersFan - 10-07-2024, 11:03 AM - Forum: Current Events - Replies (25)

L'Obsserbatore Romano is the official Vatican newspaper.  Nothing gets printed in it unless the Vatican approves and agrees.   This article was not printed in the opinion section, but rather in the news section.

The official Vatican position of the US elections now seems to be that they see Trump as 'authoritative and polarizing' ... and they give abortion czar Harris a free pass on her polarizing and her abortion and trans stands.   They also falsely claim that she and Biden make attempts to depolarize this country.  The exact opposite is true.  

While neither candidate, Trump or Harris, is the poster child for good behavior ... Trump is anti-globalist whereas Harris is for no borders ... and 'Pope Francis' is anti-America and anti-border, so we can see where the bias comes from.

Jesus was not political at all.   The Vatican is a pro-globalist, money making operation and is notoriously anti-American.  The Vatican is also a foreign country, so this could be considered election interference from a foreign country, trying to tell 52 million adult voting age Catholics in America how to vote.  'You aren't a good Catholic unless you vote how the Vatican says' .. that can be very effective on a lot of Catholic people.  

Vatican Newspaper Issues Unusual Warning About American Presidential Election

Quote:A victory by Donald Trump will lead to an “authoritarian remake” (rifacimento autoritario) of the United States, according to an expert analysis of the US presidential election published by the Vatican newspaper.
 With Trump, this forced polarization would continue, transforming it into the domination of one America over the other. With Harris, there would be attempts to reduce it, as Biden did. The latter’s failure, however, explains the fact that there is not much room to recover a form of unity both at the political level and in the social and cultural self-perception of the country ...
 
It is a unique election because it is quite clear that, if Trump wins, his political project would be an authoritarian remake of the State and the expulsion of the other part of the United States from the federal and state governments, as already done with the Supreme Court. It would be an unprecedented twisting of democracy.

  1st Online Experience?
Posted by: FlyingClayDisk - 10-07-2024, 05:06 AM - Forum: World Wide Web - Replies (16)

Do you remember your first online experience?

I first started messing around with personal computers back in about 1979.  I bought my first PC around the same time.  I bought (3) of them in rapid succession (quickly realizing my mistakes after each one).  Even though people would talk about the "Internet" back in those days, it wasn't really a thing.  I remember in about 1987 asking this neighbor of mine..."What is the Internet anyway, like can you explain it to me?".  He gave me some crazy explanation which sounded like utopia (he was kind of koo-koo anyway).  His explanation was enough to tell me I wasn't really interested. But I kept hearing about these things called "modems" and one day someone gave me one, but I had no idea what to do with it.

Several years went by and one day I was looking in the back of this computer magazine (PC Magazine, I think) and I saw this tiny advertisement for a Bulletin Board Service (BBS).  I forget now what the subject matter of the BBS was, but it was interesting to me at the time so I hooked up my 'mystery-modem' to my PC, typed in the phone number of the BBS, and VOILA'!...I was online for the very first time.  I want to say this was about 1989-90.

Everything was slow back then, but I eventually figured out my way around this one site.  I felt like I was exploring the Moon at the time.  After a day or so I got enough guts up to "post" a message.  Of course, there was no reply, so I wondered what all the hype about the "Internet" was all about.  There were no ISP's then, you had to dial in to every site.  The World Wide Web wasn't even a mainstream thing then.  One day, several week later, I dialed back into that same BBS and low & behold...there was a "reply" to my message!  Holy shit!...this internet thing really works!  The message basically said "Hello" and that there was a very important file attached.  I clicked on the attachment, and in the lightning fast span of about 15 minutes the attachment began to materialize, line by line, on my monitor.  Clearly this was going to take a while, so I went and made a sandwich.  I came back a while later and my "download" was complete.  WOW!  COOL!  At first I couldn't make out what the image was.  After analyzing the image for quite a while I determined it was a very low resolution image of someone's butt on a xerox machine.

My first experience in the "Internet" and my first "download"...I'd been mooned by the Internet!  (It wasn't really the Internet, but I didn't know that then).

Not long afterwards we got a "Local Area Network" connection in the office.  No one had any idea what it was or how to use it, but they said we had an "E" mail address.  (?????)  I had one of the first laptops by then, and a colleague told me about this "on line" service which had the answer to any question I could ever dream up.  He called it "CompuServe", and for a few bucks you could sign up.  He said it would let you explore the whole Internet.  (In my mind, I pictured entire filing cabinets chocked full of pictures of people's butts sitting on xerox machines).

After downloading some files from CompuServe, I installed their application and, by golly, it actually worked!  To make an already too long story a little shorter, after some 'navigating' around, I saw a little icon which said "World Wide Web" on it.  I clicked on it, and a blank screen showed up.  Progress!  Now what?  My same friend (he was pretty smart, that guy) told me this was where you typed in a "website".  After numerous failed attempts to get anything, he told me I needed to use a "Search engine".  (No idea!)  He told me to type in "www.dogpile.com".  I did, and to my amazement, the dogpile search engine website showed up.  He said I could type anything I could think of into it and, if it was anywhere on the Internet, dogpile would find it.  Wow!  The entire universe was now at my fingertips!  Hmmmmm...what should I search for?  So, I started typing...

"B U T T S   O N   X E R O X   M A C H I N E S"

The rest is history.

Below is my first attempt at poetry:

The candle stands by the shattering window.
Broken glass rains on the once-green hills.
Yet the flame shines to the new day.
But the eternal flame is lost in the dead forest.

The candle is drawn to the yellow flicking light.
But the darkness hides the way to the new dawn.
So, the candle trusts the sailboat to the ocean's breeze.

Underneath a palm tree on white sand by the waves crashing on the shore, the souls are united by a candle's wick alight.
The new moon and dark skies are gone, for the new day arrives.

  Diddy's 9 Year Old Victim Among Other Minors
Posted by: theshadowknows - 10-06-2024, 11:33 PM - Forum: The Diddy Revelations - Replies (11)

Quote:Diddy is about to be hit with lawsuits for sexual assault and abuse, and a Houston-based law firm representing 120 accusers is telling some of their stories for the first time ... including allegations Diddy sexually abused a 9-year-old boy.

Attorney Tony Buzbee says a wave of lawsuits will be filed against Diddy in the next 30 days, including from an accuser who claims he was only 9 years old when Diddy and others sexually abused him at the Bad Boy Records studio in New York City.
 
Buzbee claims Diddy lured the 9-year-old to an audition with the promise of a record deal, and then allegedly sexually abused him.
 
In addition, Buzbee claims his law firm will be filing suit on behalf of other accusers who claim they were minors when Diddy abused them ... including another who says Diddy forced them to perform oral sex.
 
Buzbee says another accuser was 15 years old when they were flown out to NYC to attend a party, where they were drugged and taken into a private room with Diddy, where he allegedly raped her before others took turns having their way with her.
 
A big-time attorney who has sued a bunch of celebs including Travis Scott and Chris Brown, Buzbee claims his clients were raped, sexually assaulted and sexually exploited by Diddy and his associates ... and he says they were typically forced to consume a drink that was laced with xylazine, or "tranq" -- a horse tranquilizer.
 
As we reported ... Buzbee's law firm announced Friday they were repping more than 50 alleged victims who came forward with "gut-wrenching" stories about what went down at Diddy's alleged "Freak Off" parties.
 
Buzbee described the "mindboggling" allegations as "debauchery and depravity, exacted by powerful people" and ... and now he says there are 120 accusers who will be filing individual lawsuits against Diddy and others.
 
It sounds like a massive issue ... Buzbee strongly hinted other celebrities would be named in the lawsuits, and he said he would be suing anyone who was involved or knew about the alleged abuse and refused to put an end to things.
 
Buzbee said the alleged abuse happened in well-known venues and hotels as well as private residences ... mostly in Los Angeles and New York ... and he said the lawsuits will include "names that will shock you."

(10-04-2024, 09:24 PM)Maxmars Wrote: I am impressed that so many ancient philosophical texts describe or allude to principles which mirror the cutting edge thinking about physical reality.

Yes, that's a good observation, and one that certainly comes to mind on occasion. I don't know what MSS/texts you are referring, but it's most definitely a true statement.

Here are just a couple (major) examples that are often aroused to the forefront of my mind lately:

1a. Hermes Trismegistus (Hermetics). This is mostly just derived of some reading material that has accompanied me at various points along my way. I will say that it has stood the test of time (unlike M-theory) and the ideas are usually rekindled whenever someone speaks of consciousness in conjunction with the universe e.g. all is mind (the 1st principle).

1b. The seven Hermetic principles:

1. The principle of mentalism (all is mind).
2. The principle of correspondence (as above so below; as within so without).
3. The principle of vibration (everything moves; everything vibrates).
4. The principle of polarity (everything is dual).
5. The principle of rhythm (everything comes and everything goes, everything ebbs and everything flows).
6. The principle of cause and effect (post ergo propter hoc – in most cases).
7. The principle of gender (found everywhere; even inanimate objects are constructed of atoms that contain negatively charged electrons and positively charged protons).

How much of the above would strike one as contemporary is debatable, but at least some of it if not most of it.

2. The ancient Hebrew/Hermetic MSS/texts/images that allude to a pre-spatial primordial origin; analogous philosophical quotes of antiquity such as God is a virtually infinite sphere whose center is everywhere and whose circumference is nowhere. The "center is everywhere" segment would not be implying any kind of spatial "everywhere", but instead would be reiterating a "pre-spatial" state where it would be the only thing in existence, period, so given that particular scenario it would technically be "everywhere" since there exists no relative spatial location prior the beginning of any spatial dimensions, and from this non-spatial context one might even entertain the idea of this 'thing' being comprised of infinities "within" e.g. the omnipresent, omnipotent, omniscient qualities et cetera.

  UAP Med

Who knew? right?

How this has been flying under our radar boggles my mind. UAP Med has taken upon itself to be a sourse for first responders giving them a resource to fall back upon in case they've stumbled into a "incident" on duty. 

This gives the whole "we have to do it ourselves" meme teeth. 

It's also very much not about old, or discussed to death ufo/uap crap we've been stuck with in the ufology community. UAP Med has moved onto "what's next" an started tackling it. TBH I'm still exploring their blog but checked out their discussion of the incident experienced by the Tedesco brothers who've been doing citizen science monitoring of UAP's off Long Island NY. 

The project:@tedesco4810 months ago
The two people interviewed in this video are Harvard University's Galileo Project research affiliates and the Scientific Coalition of UAP Studies members. In a mobile laboratory, this independent research study was conducted off Long Island's Southern coast at Robert Moses State Park. The researchers were John and Gerry Tedesco, both of whom have extensive engineering backgrounds. A lot of high-tech equipment was used to conduct this investigation. The names of the other field researchers are Donna Nardo and Sue Algor. A scientific paper was accepted by the SCU to be published soon.

The UAP Med discussion:


The Incident:


We don't usually get THIS quality of wrap-around information this quickly or this throughly. Had seen a video a day ago on the Tedesco's research where they did explain they'd been funding their research out of pocket from savings & retirement funds but had been looking for a sponsor. Guess Gallileo stepped up? Their current mobile lab is the second version kitted out with some gear most of us are never going to be able to afford. So they aren't dilettantes. IIRC they are also both Electrical Engineers by profession. 

For what it's worth the UAP Med website has impressed me with it's polished look & ease of use. It's also very comprehensive. Everything we'd hoped a govt agency could put together but instead left us again, holding the fuzzy end of the lollipop. 

It also shoves us WAY past bickering over the Elizondo/Mellon/Congressional Hearings/ARRO horse puckety.

  The Shuttering of Public Houses
Posted by: UltraBudgie - 10-06-2024, 12:27 PM - Forum: Social Issues & Civil Unrest - Replies (2)

The traditional Irish pub is becoming a thing of the past:



I see this as part of a larger trend of destroying the public square. Pubs, traditionally, are not just about alcohol, they're about meeting with your neighbors, making local friends, sitting elbow-to-elbow with new people, sharing the stories of our lives face-to-face. In a word, community.

That's changing. Avenues of social interaction that can not be measured and centrally influenced via smartphone technology are being systematically destroyed. Economically, socially, and by ever-heavier burdens of regulation and pressure.

Sure, people are drinking less alcohol. And with the price of a pint hitting $7-$10, who wouldn't?  Or you can just drink cheaply, at home, alone with the black mirror. We didn't see liquor stores close during the pandemic, but pubs and churches sure shut down tight.

And this is happening socially, too. We're so divided that it's becoming harder and harder to talk to our neighbors. We've lost the ability to have differences in opinion that don't poison our ability to interact. The old day of "no politics or religion" at the lodge or pub are long gone. Now, I use the "G.R.A.P.E.S. of wrath" rule: No talk of Guns, Religion, Abortion, Politics, Economics, or Sex.  People just can't handle it.

What's left? We talk about the weather and gardening. But no mention of FEMA responsiveness or how our food has become poison, of course. It's all very sad, we're getting what we deserve, I've become accelerationist about it -- "when you're going through hell, keep going". Solitude is really rather lovely, after all.

  Secrets of Ancient Alien Wristwatches
Posted by: AlienSun - 10-06-2024, 06:55 AM - Forum: Aliens & UFOs - Replies (14)

The appearance of small “handbag” satchels on the arms of weird-looking visitors and leaders in many ancient stone works around the world is a puzzle.  There has been no firm explanation for the widespread appearance of these virtually identical items, and why they were prominent and important across widely varied early civilizations.  The lack of conventional archeology-related and other studies to explain this rather simple and straightforward reality in ancient civilizations is indicative of staid, dogmatic sciences that cannot handle an obvious reality.  The “simple truth” is met with avoidance and denial.  This is the same tactic long used against the reality of alien UFOs being present these days.
However, segments of the public have their own interpretations that spring from a new-age point of view.  Many believe the stone storyboards of the ancients are nothing less than extra-terrestrial beings that appeared during those early eras to help humans establish early civilizations.
In addition to that view, suggestions herein will offer a more complex possibility that complicates the entire issue, but better explains the whole issue of the “ancient astronauts.”  Properly understood, the impossible can be objectively looked at as true.
Not infrequently, the periods of those civilizations are listed as existing for thousands of years. The so-called handbags are often found with other materials mentioning of the original ruler and how long that individual ruled.  A dynasty may have lasted thousands of years during which the leadership should have passed to many others every few decades or so.  But the curious thing is that time after time the dates mentioned for the lifetimes of the ruler or rulers go on for hundreds of years, if not longer, into the thousands.  This would be impossible by our standards.  We may surmise that the exaggerated reign of a solitary individual(s) living for millennia was an attempt to honor the original person or persons.  (It is noteworthy that the Bible frequently mentions long-lived individuals also, Noah, for example.)
We can assume that the giving of the handbags was symbolic, an indispensable part of the mission.  Some minds have deduced that the contents contained a collection of the knowledge and power of the universe.
    It is well understood that many developing ancient civilizations suddenly blossomed with all manner of pre-knowledge and amazing talents in many fields all at once.  Talents that would be elusive if not missing entirely from startup civilizations that shortly had emerged from hunter-gatherer backgrounds.  The obvious answer is that the visitors came from unknown civilizations outside of earth’s sphere. They, either by mere circumstance came during the early days of these budding civilizations, or perhaps had a hand in creating humans from lesser creatures at an earlier interaction and had returned as the population grew to the point of needing guidance. 
Regardless, of happenstance or intent, it seems clear that the ETs came down to aid our development.  Perhaps it was not entirely out of benevolence.   Gold could have beckoned them.
The so-called “wristwatches” found on the arms of the satchel bearers in about every incidence found around the world is another matter.  They do not have a common explanation as the satchels but are strongly connected as a visible, if obtuse, sign of a critical element of the situation.  However, this part of the interactions with humanity was something they could not give to humanity as easily as the contents of the bags which were related to worldly affairs.  Perhaps cosmic ethics and rules were involved.  Certainly, cosmic secrets and decidedly, cosmic powers were in evident.  
The instruments that all the ETs wore on both wrists were, quite specifically, time devices, but not mere clocks.  They were a very special type other than what we understand.  They stopped local time.  Within its vicinity, it would negate the passage of clock time.  Such a process, to us even today, is thought to be only of fantasies and dreams.  But in the annals of ufology are well known as major aspects, routinely ignored, to be sure, in cases of typical UFO human abductions.  In effect, time can be literally stopped within a small, controlled vicinity.
I’m suggesting that time can be stopped with no impedimental degradation to a living body within the localized area.  I offer that the wrist devices depicted on the visitors are a critically important personal mechanism with a limited range specifically tuned to the body wearing it and/or the immediate vicinity.
Such a device would be magical, of course, but not a science-fiction time machine that moves the entirety of all reality in the cosmos backward or forward at the setting of a personal instrument. –More the reverse if anything.  Think of it as similar to a portable radio, saturating the local environment with sound, but instead, the alien device blankets the local time surroundings to zero with no ill effects upon the being inside the timeless bubble.
The wearer, if not nearby others (not that it would make much of a difference for short periods of subjection to the device) would not age.  But for the wearer, molecular breakdown would stop.  They would not age a single moment.
Given such an amazing ability to enhance longevity potential forever, what sentient soul wouldn’t engage it at all times given the opportunity to, they say, watch the world go by?  That would be a god-like ability, an immortal, ever-existing state of being.  Beyond the dream of every human, confined as we are, on every side of our existence by the understanding that we are mere mortals.  Such a device presents a new, virtually unthinkable, reality of continuance as nothing in the body ever ages.  How then would you view the cosmos if given that ability?
The body is corporal, four-dimensional, a something.  Time is only a state of change. Stop it and nothing changes.
The shield against time would allow the wearer to operate independently, without the outside clock for everything else to go on ticking.  In our bubble, we can move around in the world, the cosmos, exactly as normal, attending to our needs and business but protected in our invisible cocoons.
The wearer turns on the device and the resulting field envelops without a sound.  Its dimensions are probably adjustable to some degree to suit the need, large or small.  It may to include others much as a portable radio’s sound can be turned up.   But the charged state is not bulletproof.  Incursions of injuries and death would still be possible as without the time shield.  Perhaps armor would still be wise in some situations.
A human outside of the envelope looking on, would notice no difference in any aspect of the situation.  They would continue to age by the split second, while a being in the envelope is shielded entirely.
It is here where we get glimpses of how alien technology was used for eons to help the early humans manage their growing empires.  How could any human leader react negatively to the offered hand of such gods?  A gift that would allow them to be immortal for a limited time and outlast many human lifetimes at the helm of their own dynasty?
Leader after leader of primitive empires would accept anything that the ETs were to offer to survive and build their dreams.
The chiseled records of the longevity of ancient rulers that we cannot accept as being legitimate are quite possibly very authentic.  The ETs either were in their vicinity for those same periods, or they supplied the devices to key locals to ensure the continuation of coverage.  Or perhaps the rulers were ETs themselves.
Earlier, it was noted that some UFO abductees have noticed upon their return that earthly clocks in their cars and wristwatches seem to have stopped during their experiences.  In addition to time and sometimes memory loss of the abductees, many reported that their cars were pulled into the air and sometimes deposited miles from their original location. Consider, also, that many, if not most, UFO activities that we witness defy the normal physics of gravity and inertia when they hover or move in sudden starts, stops and right-angle turns. 
Gravity and time are different attributes of the phenomenon of existence.
There most certainly is a direct connection between what we call  “anti-gravity” abilities and anti-time abilities.  Given that both features are evidence of extreme alien technology in recent historical data—whether we want to recognize those features as separate or intertwined,  does that not suggest that the ETs are involved with a basic, central point of raw existence of which they can manipulate and of which we are totally ignorant of and ignore as being impossible to the extreme despite what the stark clues tell us? 
Imagine a ship that generates its own envelope of zero-mass and engages a zero-time factor.  Does that not seem like a pleasant way to traverse the universe forever and help the helpless?  Would you care if time naturally went on as you left your home planet and Einsteinian thinking and zipped off across the galaxy in zero time, staying forever ageless?   
What we have to consider here is that the ETs that come here have not spent many light years traveling from their home star in their personal time, but only in planetary time which is unimportant to them as they zip here and yonder in near zero shipboard time.

  US I.V. supplies threatened by hurricane damage
Posted by: Maxmars - 10-06-2024, 04:09 AM - Forum: Health - Replies (7)

It seems our supply of IV supplies, vital to everything from "intravenous rehydration" and "drug delivery" to "peritoneal dialysis," is now in jeopardy because the one plant that produced 60% of our supply (again, for the entire nation) is no longer in operation.

Brace yourselves for increased hospital costs... (surprise)

From ArsTechnica: Helene ravaged the NC plant that makes 60% of the country’s IV fluid supply

Hurricane Helene's catastrophic damage and flooding to the Southeastern states may affect the country's medical supply chain.

Hospitals nationwide are bracing for a possible shortage of essential intravenous fluids after the cataclysmic storm inundated a vital manufacturing plant in North Carolina.

The plant is Baxter International's North Cove manufacturing facility in Marion, which is about 35 miles northeast of Asheville. Helene unleashed unprecedented amounts of rain throughout the western part of the state, killing dozens and ravaging numerous communities, homes, and other structures, including the plant.

The North Cove plant produces 60 percent of the country's supply of IV solutions, typically producing 1.5 million bags per day, according to the American Hospital Association. The dozens of sterile solutions Baxter makes at the facility are used for everything from intravenous rehydration and drug delivery to peritoneal dialysis used to treat kidney failure.


There is still no word on when the plant will resume its operations... but I suppose that is to be expected... since FEMA somehow has no money.
