There was a post saying that babies shouldn't be allowed on planes because of the discomfort and inconvenience it brings to other passengers, and a new father commented with something that broke my heart.
The father commented on the post saying this...
"My son is 3 months old, but we have to fly out of our remote city to get him some surgery he needs in a couple months.
I am dreading it, for his sake, for the people around us, and for my wife and I."
And I just have to say this. Brother, do not even worry about if your 3 month old son, who is on his way to get a medically required surgery, cries on his way to go get it. People these days are so much more concerned with their own personal minor inconveniences, and they couldn't be bothered to just take a fucking minute, just a minute, to consider what somebody else could be going through. Like the fact that this fucking child's parents are already dealing with their 3 month old baby needing to get on a plane for the first time in order to go quite a ways to get their son put under for surgery, ALSO for the first time. And they STILL have the capacity to be worried about your ability to have a peaceful fucking plane ride to your vacation or whatever. Honestly people piss me off so fucking bad and it makes me fucking sick. I'm so sorry you and your family are having to go through that dude, focus on your family's well being. Fuck anyone who complains about something so trivial.

This is one of my favorite types of botanical art, it's called "Naturselbstdruck" which means "Nature Self-Printing" which used actual specimens to create high-fidelity plates used for printing in numbers. Plates 1-7 are by Ludwig Heufler (1855) and photos 8-16 are by Alois Auer (1853)
Naturselbstdruck (nature self-printing) is the process of using an actual specimen, like foliage or a wing, to create a permanent, high-fidelity printing matrix. While centuries of simple manual "leaf-stamping" preceded it, the technique became a scientific powerhouse in the 1850s through a sophisticated intaglio method.
Alois Auer (Vienna): In 1853, as director of the Imperial and Roval State Printing House, Auer perfected the industrial application. He used extreme pressure to embed a specimen into a soft lead plate then electrotyped it with copper. This allowed for the mass production of incredible detailed botanical plates that were essentially "photographic" in their accuracy.
Henry Bradbury (London): Bradbury studied under Auer and brought the technology to England. He refined the process to achieve unprecedented color fidelity and texture, most notably in his masterpiece, The Ferns of Great Britain and Ireland (1855)
By capturing the physical topography of a specimen these prints provided a level of objective, unmediated data that traditional hand-drawn illustrations could not match.
This guy makes miniature scenes of UAP encounters, some complete with actual floating craft.
If some of the discussion amongst Ufologists and purported whistleblowers with inside information, bears even a little truth, it seems that reverse engineered craft have the ability to move vast distances through space-time. Some people discuss and speculate the ability to move through space-time time into both the past and the future.
There's all kind of speculation and anecdotal evidence that suggests humans themselves are responsible for a large portion of UAP sightings and even abduction cases through advanced technology. And I'm a huge believer in the breakaway civilization theory, in which it theorizes that there is a branch of humanity, which bears technology that would be indistinguishable from magic to the people outside of the civilization.
Has anyone ever considered the fact that this civilization of technologically elite humans may be able to interfere with, or send messages and/or information and data into the past in order to alter the timeline in the past, now, and the future?
I'm sure some of us have been on Forgotten Languages. In some of the posts on this website they discuss something called a Queltron machine, which I don't have complete information on but it seems to be a device that technologically advanced civliations of a certain kind that gives them the capability to send information into the past in one way or another (if someone else who knows about the machine fill in with some more details about the machine that would be awesome) and they also have a post that discusses how far back in a timeline one would have to go in order to alter the development of a civilzation by seeding it with false religion, belief systems and information via symbolism, literature and staged events.
I've been ruminating on the idea that what if someone or a group of people really did have these capabilities; now or in the distant future, and that EVERYTHING in our reality has been constructed to be like this by way of seeding lies, false information and altering the past development of the world as we know it. What if everything from the world's major religions (Christianity, Islam, Catholism, Judaism) the establishment of nations, world powers, and power structures (Big Oil, Big Pharma, Governments, Global Order and International Alliances) has all been fabricated to benefit specific groups of humanity and socioeconomic class. That is a grim, grim, idea to give thought to.
