Whistleblower claims CIA used DNA data from Ancestry and 23andMe customers in search for aliens
Jorjani claimed that he was alerted to this bug-hunting initiative by army veteran Lyn Buchanan, who claims he was a “psychic spy” with the CIA’s remote viewing program — which investigated whether individuals could use extrasensory perception to conduct recon on distant objects, events or people.

“They live in like small towns in the [Colorado] Rockies, and they pass because they look like tall Scandinavian people,” remarked Jorjani (pictured). YouTube/@jessemichels Jorjani said Buchanan had informed him that former CIA analyst and UAP specialist Christopher “Kit” Green had devised a backdoor way of accessing 23andMe and Ancestry — uber-popular sites that break down users’ family trees — to screen users for a specific “genetic variance” linked to nonhuman beings. Green was notably part of the Remote Viewing Program in the 1970s, but left the intelligence agency long before the founding of the DNA detective sites. Buchanan reportedly learned of this so-called campaign after being approached at a diner by three individuals claiming to be Nordics — tall, blue-eyed, blond visitors from beyond that are said to be living covertly among us.

Glen took a dream vacation to Paris. He saw the Eiffel Tower, toured the Louvre and took a boat ride down the Seine. He definitely wanted to have some haute French cuisine, so he picked out the nicest restaurant he could afford. He was waiting for his table at the bar when the beautiful bartender dropped a note in front of him. It was in French, which he couldn’t read. When he was seated, he asked his waiter if he could tell him what it said. The waiter said, “Yes, of course, let me see it.” Upon reading it, the waiter had Glen forcibly removed from the restaurant. Now Glen was sitting on the curb outside the restaurant, trying to figure out what just happened. A police officer came by and asked what he was doing. Glen explained “Well, I came to take my dream vacation to Paris. I saw the Eiffel Tower, toured the Louvre and took a boat ride down the Seine. I definitely wanted to have some haute French cuisine, so I picked out the nicest restaurant I could afford. I was waiting for my table at the bar when a beautiful bartender dropped a note in front of me. It was in French, which I can’t read. When I was seated, I asked my waiter if he could tell me what it said. The waiter said of course, but upon reading it, the waiter had me forcibly removed from the restaurant.” “Hhmmmm…” said the police officer “You better let me see this note.” So Glen gave note to the police officer. Upon reading the note the officer put Glen under arrest. Glen was brought before a magistrate, where he protested “Your honor, I have done nothing wrong, I don’t know why I’m here. See I came to take my dream vacation to Paris. I saw the Eiffel Tower, toured the Louvre and took a boat ride down the Seine. I definitely wanted to have some haute French cuisine, so I picked out the nicest restaurant I could afford. I was waiting for my table at the bar when a beautiful bartender dropped a note in front of me. It was in French, which I can’t read. When I was seated, I asked my waiter if he could tell me what it said. The waiter said of course, but upon reading it, he had me forcibly removed from the restaurant. Then I was sitting on the curb outside the restaurant when a police officer came by, and after I let him see the note he put me under arrest.” “Bring this note forward.” Ordered the judge. Glen gave the note to the judge. Upon reading the note the judge ordered Glen to be exiled from France. Glen soon found himself on an airplane out of France back to America, which annoyed him as he still had several days left in his trip. A French businessman seated next Glen asked him, “So what’s your story?” Glen took a deep breath and then said “It started when I came to take my dream vacation to Paris. I saw the Eiffel Tower, toured the Louvre and took a boat ride down the Seine. I definitely wanted to have some haute French cuisine, so I picked out the nicest restaurant I could afford. I was waiting for my table at the bar when a beautiful bartender dropped a note in front of me. It was in French, which I can’t read. When I was seated, I asked my waiter if he could tell me what it said. The waiter said of course, but upon reading it, the waiter had me forcibly removed from the restaurant. Then I was sitting on the curb outside the restaurant when a police officer came by, and after I let him see the note he put me under arrest. I was subsequently brought before a judge, and when he saw the note, he ordered me to be exiled from France. And I still don’t even know what it says.” “That’s quite a tale.” Remarked the businessman. “Do you still have this note?” Glen did and he gave it to the businessman. Except, instead of telling Glen what it said, he paged a flight attendant over. The flight attendant read the note and then went to talk to the pilot. Upon reading the note, the pilot personally threw Glen out of the plane. Now the pilot wasn’t completely heartless, he did give Glen a parachute first. Glen didn’t see that it mattered too much one way or the other, as they were over the middle of the Atlantic Ocean. However, as it happened, a ship was passing by and Glen was able to land right on it. Naturally Glen was brought before the captain, who wanted to know how Glen came to be on his ship. Glen explained “My story starts with what I thought would be my dream vacation to Paris. I saw the Eiffel Tower, toured the Louvre and took a boat ride down the Seine. I definitely wanted to have some haute French cuisine, so I picked out the nicest restaurant I could afford. I was waiting for my table at the bar when a beautiful bartender dropped a note in front of me. It was in French, which I can’t read. When I was seated, I asked my waiter if he could tell me what it said. The waiter said of course, but upon reading it, the waiter had me forcibly removed from the restaurant. Then I was sitting on the curb outside the restaurant when a police officer came by, and after I let him see the note he put me under arrest. I was subsequently brought before a judge, and when he saw the note, he ordered me to be exiled from France. And I still couldn’t believe it when the pilot of my plane found out what the note said he had me thrown out of the plane.” “Wow. That must be some note.” exclaimed the captain. “You must let me read it, I speak French.” “No,” replied Glen “I don’t think it’s a good idea for me to show it to anyone else.” Everyone was disappointed, but Glen was firm that no one would get to see this note. They found a bunk for Glen to stay in for the week-long trip to America. It was a cargo ship, and everyone else was working, so Glen thought that he ought to work as well even though no one asked him to. He helped prep food, serve and clean up in the mess hall. Everyone agreed that they were better off having Glen make the coffee. He was even offered a permanent position upon the ship. Of course people kept pestering Glen to see this famous note, but he kept it a secret. Towards the end of the journey, as he felt that he had gotten to know everyone and bonded with them, he decided that it would be ok to show the captain the note. Glen was immediately thrown overboard. He was close enough at this point that he could swim ashore to his home state of New Jersey. After getting home and cleaning himself up, Glen called his girlfriend. “Glen!” She cried “You weren’t on your return flight, I made so many phone calls, I had no idea what had happened, I thought you were dead!” Glen took a deep breath and began explaining. “As you know I went off on what I thought would be my dream vacation to Paris. I saw the Eiffel Tower, toured the Louvre and took a boat ride down the Seine. I definitely wanted to have some haute French cuisine, so I picked out the nicest restaurant I could afford. I was waiting for my table at the bar when a rather unattractive bartender dropped a note in front of me. It was in French, which I can’t read. When I was seated, I asked my waiter if he could tell me what it said. The waiter said of course, but upon reading it, the waiter had me forcibly removed from the restaurant. Then I was sitting on the curb outside the restaurant when a police officer came by, and after I let him see the note he put me under arrest. I was subsequently brought before a judge, and when he saw the note, he ordered me to be exiled from France. And I still couldn’t believe it when the pilot of my plane found out what the note said he had me thrown out of the plane. I wouldn’t have survived except I had the luck to land on a passing ship. I didn’t want to show them the note, you understand, but for a week they badgered me to see it, and I still had no idea what it said, so I eventually let them see it. Inevitably once they saw it they threw me overboard. I still have the damn note--the paper is very good quality--and the mystery is killing me.” Glen’s girlfriend had some doubts about this story, but instead of directly calling Glen out about it, she offered “My uncle speaks French, we could ask him what it says.” So the two of them met and headed over to the uncle’s house. Glen told his story to the uncle--which we will omit here in the interest of time--and checked that there were no firearms in the house before handing over the note. The uncle said, “I can translate this for you, just let me get my reading glasses.” The uncle put the note down on the coffee table and went to get his glasses. Just then a gust of wind came through and blew the note out the window, and it was never to be seen again.

The first step is to soak them in brine for a week, then rinse and soak in brine for two months, and then pickle them in a vinegar pickle for a couple of days.
You have the choice of keeping them in olive oil after that, or leave them in the pickle.

In medical news, I had my CT Scan this morning, then saw the oncology surgeon this afternoon.
Everything looks good/stable - no new tumors, and the ones that are there have pretty much stayed the same or shrunk ever so slightly (so much so that it could just be user interpretation). No metastises seen, so that is good, too.
Apparently I CAN stay on this protocol more than 6 months at a time, so we are going to continue to do fills with the medication, alternating with "placebo" fills every other 2 weeks as before.
I will say that the doctor seemed QUITE pleased with my progress; I am not sure that when he first saw me 20 months ago that he thought that I would still be kickin' it all these months later. I have apparently responded EXTREMELY well to these protocols. Honestly, it's just luck of the draw - many others have been on these same meds and not had good results.
Those prayers are working, folks! We are extremely grateful for each and every one of them.
So good news all around! 😊♥️

Him and that cocksucker Leary. Had an excellent troop in my platoon in Germany. Got a call one night. The kid wigged out. Sat straight up in bed and was gonzo. Had to medivac him back to the states. His buddy in high school years before had slipped him some LSD. He was fine for years then wham! Flashback.

There has been more than one occasion when I should not have survived, but I was always blissfully unaware until long after the fact that I shouldn't have walked out of the hospital.
I know the odds with this beast, but I think that I just want to stick around and keep the Bucket List Party going 😂😂😂 (Paul has clipped my wings a bit on that, but there aren't any blowout trips planned in the foreseeable future - just a couple of local concerts and shows where we won't be flying or staying in hotels)
Can't blow through the kids' inheritance if I'm not here to spend the money, amiright? 🥳🥳🥳

Then I remembered Renee Zelweger and Kenny Chesney's even briefer marriage. I didn't listen to him, either, because I also didn't like looking at him. He may have some good music as well.
I have always wondered for a nanosecond per decade about these couples.
These are my thoughts for June 1st.
I am glad the Colorado aliens are blonde with blue eyes vs Somolian.
I almost feel normal again after family virus/trip/exhaustion and vast irritation that I missed most of May.
I remain irritated by the weird spring and my roses being as confused as I am about my world. I am unsure what this is going to mean for the rest of the year, but it's a sign.

That quote is a memorable moment from the classic sci-fi action film Mad Max 2: The Road Warrior (1981).
It happens during the scene where the refinery community's leader, Pappagallo, is trying to convince his people to make a dangerous break for the coast using the fuel tanker. A cynical member of the community named Big Rebecca shuts down his inspirational speech by telling him:
"Words, just words. You're going to die for a pipe-dream."
Immediately after she says it, the Warrior Woman speaks up to defend the plan, and Max (Mel Gibson) quietly starts prepping his shotgun, showing he's ready to drive the rig.

That's a big part of a lot of that lore. There's a bunch of different strains of that lore. But the classic Sitchin Anunnaki version has of course, the Anunnaki creating humans by genetic engineering. And they were a bunch of horn dogs (The "sons of God" and "daughters of men"). Also, the female Anunnaki dug the human Paolos big time, too.
And the Nordic/Tall-White (Pleiades/Lyra) females are basically some sci-fi horny nerd type of fantasy. Think Natasha Henstridge or Syndey Sweeny playing tall hot she-aliens.

I found a little tiny spiral bound notebook from 4th grade that I think should be published in all the weirdness of my then mindset.
It has pages of "foreign" auto plates invading our neighborhood. A brief spy week or two with my brother.
A mention of a birthday party and I was NOT inviting Carol Ross (whoever she was and unsure what she did to me).
Plus drawings of various Barbie type women with bullet boobies. One of a RN in a cap holding a baby (I was a newborn nurse decades later but did not wear my cap with scrubs...a foretelling).
The entire lyrics of My Old Kentucky Home appear for reasons unknown. That made me laugh as well.

I fell in love with young Mel and love that movie. Old Mel ain't so bad either, altho I don't like his beard (he didn't ask me).
He's still high on my list. By all accounts he's much fun with his female costars. I love a wicked man with blue eyes. Also my wicked blonde husband with green eyes.
Tonight he examined the remains of my cooking chicken with ligonberry sauce for his highness.I screwed up and did not saute the chicken breasts in the same pan as the veg. So I had to use two pans to brown the chicken and it left a breaded mess and I poured water in that to lessen the ordeal later of clean up.
At first he thought I'd had an episode and the 1" water was oil. He was very calm about it all, wondering briefly of disposal, and I had to laugh. I've been weird for weeks post near cholera but not THAT weird to brown chicken in an inch of oil.

One of the guys I used to race with got the nickname in college FID. He was the rep for a beer company on campus. He partied a lot. Dean of Students called him fat, ignorant and drunk, FID.
He was very thin. Good sailboat racer too.

Something which may explain the difference - I was a lab guinea pig and what I was given was pure Sandoz (the Swiss Lab that invented the stuff. Lots of the streets hit was exactly that - shit. It contained a lot of unintended analog, and other chemicals.
DMT, DOM (STP), MDA... there are all sorts of psychoactive sold on the street, some accidentally adulterated, some deliberately.
I have no doubt that some people are fucked up.from using psychoactives, but I'm a counterexample for the "it's all terrible" claims.

Both movies depicted real events, to a point. Escape was much closer to the history, though still modified for movie purposes.
There was a bridge on the river Kwai in Thailand, but it wasn't like the one portrayed in the movie, IIRC. It was a low, partly steel bridge with cement piers. Thailand (I believe) actually renamed a stretch of a river Kwai to sort of match up the movie and real history. A fascinating true story involves one of the Japanese army overseers and a British officer captive. The Brit officer testified at the Japanese officer's post-war tribunal, to support clemency. Don't recall the details but it was one of those "where do we find such people?" events.

Now the islamic peaceful religion would burn the theater down and jihad the entire cast and crew (I saw it on Amazon Prime).
The only B movies I did not see were on a few HS dates to drive in movie wrestling matches.
We saw Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid at a drive in with my no longer best friend and her brother. The only movie I can recall from a drive in because no one was trying to maul me.
I still can't figure out why my first date stuck his tongue in my ear at a drive in when I was trying to eat popcorn and drink my Coke. I wanted to inform the poor boy that I clean my own ears, thanks. If it was magic to turn me on it backfired spectacularly.

Well, it was good for something, then! Even back then I thought it insipid. I like Ali McGraw. I did enjoy the Boston? winter and clothes.
No one got to second base with me in HS, but not for lack of trying. So I stayed home a lot. It all worked out for the best as I can go to any HS reunion without concern, being the enigma weirdo I was.
I was told later by older football guys that they thought I was stuck up. No, very myopic from not wearing my glasses in the HS halls or trying hard to get a boyfriend. However, from my diaries a special someone "looked at me today." Gag.

Too bad you didn't like GWTW.
I thought the scene in the cathouse, where Rhett is trying to disguise the fact that Ashley has been shot, was brilliantly written.
It was a nice touch to have Melanie walk over to Belle (the madam) and thank her for helping to save Ashley, too.
I can't imagine why anyone would NOT like GWTW, unless it was a woke thing.

I liked Melanie after she rose from the birthin' bed to help bury the dead Yankee bleeding in the foyer of Tara.
That's a true friend who helps bury the dead Yank with you after you try to steal her husband.
Scarlett was a good friend as well to help deliver Melanie's baby as the Yankees burned Atlanta and she gave Prissy a good slap (my favorite part as that is exactly how I feel sometimes with people).
I suppose I should go to bed now as I fell asleep after dinner watching Rocky 5 with my own Yankee.

I plan to leave a letter for my granddaughters (and another to grandson or grandsons). I might be in heaven by the time they arrive at this moment. However, their parents are raising them well and we did the best we could with our sons not to settle for less. To know their worth.
Son #1 had us worried as he dated many, many girls. Including, briefly, one trashy girl in HS who knew I did not like her. It was thankfully very brief and he was wiser in college. Had his heart broken by a witch. Did things we did not approve of, etc. Found a lovely girl 12yrs younger who is incredibly sweet to marry.
Son #2 married his HS sweetheart and they gave us our 3 grands. She's lovely as well. So I have hope for the next generation of our loves.
I think I would mostly say to a girl that they won't feel the same for this guy in later years unless it is a very rare thing and he is not just trying to get into her pants.
I was popular enough in HS without leaving a trail of misery and weirdness.

You can choose a ready guide in some celestial voice
If you choose not to decide you still have made a choice
You can choose from phantom fears and kindness that can kill
I will choose a path that’s clear
I will choose freewill

I'd say it isn't just the young ladies. It's the young dudes also. If they find someone they like, will they try to get her?
I never got a tattoo. Quickly tired of random hookups. I didn't date for several years as a young woman. Mr Scary showed up in my life in a way that was real and I understood even as an early 20s dipshit. That was 30+ years ago.

Despite the mounting cases, President Trump has stated the incidents are not connected. In remarks to reporters he said there is "not much of a connection" and expressed hope they represent coincidence involving "a lot of scientists."

Be interesting to see numbers. Total involved and percentage of odd deaths correlated to deaths of people in other industries such as military hardware or aircraft. That would give and indication to randomness or not.

Fair enough. If you are a programmer and your program does bad things you are responsible. No matter how much you claim 'computer error'. Heard that shit since '80s and it is still bullshit.
If you make a product and it causes injury it's on you. We can blame lawyers for all the warnings on a ladder, but yes you have to tell people "this is not a step", especially if you make it look just like the step-steps.

Debby, I love my Mom, but her behavior when i was a child was hurtful. She only slapped me in the face once, when I wouldn't date a guy she liked (seriously) when I was 15. He was 19 and pressuring me for sex.. She thought he was a great guy. It was fucked up. She would yell. Then cry. I never knew what to expect. I got away as soon as I could and made sure she would never have a grandchild to hurt. That is a sad, fucked up story

She should never have procreated.

I am not that mother, at all.

No, but it will happen eventually. The baby mom hasn't had the baby at the condo overnight in over two months. She gives him to her dad and stepmom. My son is angry as hell, kicked her out, and is now working toward finding a way to have him full time, but he can't if he is going to work and making peanuts. So, looks like both the boy and grandboy will be coming to my house to live, and I will be raising the grandboy, which the boy goes to work.
Not the worst scenario, but we need to convince the baby mom that she isn't being the mother, she just wants to think she is. Probably won't be that hard, since she really just wants to party alla time.
