Plague of Corruption by Judy Mikovits


I read this last year. Great book. Great citations. She is #1 on Amazon in her category. The story she tells of stalking and danger is unreal. She’s just a microbiologist, but these days, like Dr. Chavez, it’s a dangerous time. Anyone who was outspoken was in danger.

Boycott Rolling Stone rag. They trashed her. They are trash.

mRNA vaccine Causing Myocarditis…Unreported.


Another simple way you can control your own DNA and save your life is to NEVER take anything into your body that is based in man-made mRNA. OMG. If people only knew basic genetics…but most kids aren’t educated about their bodies in school as they should be.

Most viruses are evolving RNA, naturally. They cannot be controlled OUTSIDE of the body. Viruses are handled fairly easily once INSIDE the body by our fantastic immune system. I, and MILLIONS of physicians have been saying this since March 2020. My family and many friends have disowned me because of it. I no longer care. I have a reason to live. Maybe they don’t.

UFO Worldview Control, a Vast No-wing Conspiracy


Here’s my favorite UFO historian, Richard Dolan, recounting one of the most well-documented UFO military encounters of all time, the 1976 Tehran UFO incident. Toward the end of the video, things get interesting as Dolan shows us what the debunkers at Wikipedia have to say about this event. True to form, Wikipedia struggles to maintain […]

UFO Worldview Control, a Vast No-wing Conspiracy

These Guys are Trying to Do My Job


But they don’t understand it nor can they explain it as I can. I understand it. I already posted this I think. I studied these videos two years ago.

At the end Jordan is flabbergast. Well, how many thousands of light workers down through the ages have said that every cell of our body is conscious and then burned at the stake by the Church or others and called witches? Maybe the scientists aren’t listening. Or maybe they only believe it if it manifests itself as a turkey sandwich and a cup of coffee. That’s called Newtonian materialism and it’s spiritually at kindergarten level.

What is the difference between a Light worker and a witch/warlock/magician? Physics. Facts of Nature. We can explain it better now. Light Workers feel and know how to work with the Light Body/Qi.

Is the 13-day Cycle an mRNA Sequence?


Lysine tRNA sequence?

I hypothesize that each theme-plex is a tRNA molecule. To the right is our current 13-day cycle. 1Lysine, 2arginine, 3histine, 4phenylalanine, 5tyrosine, 6tryptophan (today) and the start codon methionine is in the theme-plex today as the antipode to move us to Red Dragon after the sequence ends at 7Stop Codon tomorrow. It’s also the Full Moon so that is a great synchronicity. All cycles stop.

What is 13 x 5? 65. That’s the number of amino acids in a 13-day cycle. Remember, all you’re seeing on the right are the themes. Multiply them by 5 and the whole thing is in exact alignment with the way the genetic sequence moves.

8Cysteine, 9Glycine, 10Alanine, 11Valine, 12Serine and 13Threonine. But that’s just the macro picture. The micro-picture is the entire theme-plex of each kin which is the tRNA molecule composed of five kin or the five-membered, nitrogen-containing ring. That pulses off of the molecular sidechain that needs PROLINE to move. It pulses tryptophan, proline, stop codon and the geneticists see this progression and call tryptophan and proline a type of stop codon. They are basically the amino acids putting the bakes on the forward movement of the sequence; 19, 20, 0.

mRNA is messenger RNA and is coded by the DNA nucleotide which are symbolized by the I Ching hexagrams. Those 6 lines are decoded down to the 3 big letters; T, U, G, A, C which overarch each Harmonic Family and control the mRNA. The tRNA, our 5 archetype theme-plex acts as an adaptor between the DNA and the mRNA. The tRNA codes the mRNA from the ribosome. This is all basic reductionist stuff that does not make my blog popular but is essential to help make the correspondence from the Tzolkin to their linguistic set of terms in molecular biology.

Methionine is always the analog of Aspartic Acid meaning Red Moon is always next to White Dog. It’s always the Hidden Wisdom or Occult Partner of Glutamic Acid or Yellow Human. It’s always the antipode of Blue Storm and Blue storm is the antipode of it. Tryptophan, Blue Storm is always right next to Red Moon. And that’s exactly how the amino acids move; Methionine starts the sequence, it proceeds through some amino acids, lands in a tRNA molecule next to tryptophan, is stimulated by ever present Proline in the strands and hits a stop codon, (Yellow Sun)

This is a section from my book in case you’re interested in the role of nitrogen;

Proline supports proteins in our bodies

Stop Codon = Proline; 0 = 20

0=20 is vigesimal mathematics which is Mayan math. This type of math can compute epic exponential cycles like universal cycles…and oracles.

 Nitrogen, it turns out, is an epic natural, ancient chemical that interacts directly with our 20 glycogenic proteins that are symbolized by our 20 Mayan archetypes. Proline is the only proteinogenic secondary amino acid (secondary stop codon) which is a secondary amine as the nitrogen atom and is attached both to the α-carbon and to a chain of three carbons that together form a five-membered ring. In organic chemistry, amines are compounds and functional groups that contain a basic nitrogen atom with a lone pair.

Nitrogen-fixation happens during a thunderstorm when lightning fixes nitrogen in the soil and plants. That’s why everything greens up quickly as long as the roots are open for uptake. Lightning is also an archetype for Blue Storm or tryptophan which is a light weight stop codon in a DNA sequence.

They all have the sun in common. Blue Storm is Yellow Sun’s analog and a sub-stop codon as tryptophan. Proline is a non-essential amino acid for our bodies but essential in moving nitrogen into the side chain. It functions as ZERO in Mayan math which is huge. 0=20 which means Proline = Stop Codon. Together they function as archetype Yellow Sun which pulses directly to our great star, The Sun, all the time. The evolution of density frequencies on earth pulse directly to the sun which then sends information to Galactic Center.

Proline being proteinogenic is a big synchronicity with the 5 member Tzolkin theme-plex. Proline is unique in that it is the only amino acid where the side chain is connected to the protein spine twice, forming a five-membered nitrogen-containing ring. For this reason, Proline can often be found in very tight turns in protein structures (for example, where the polypeptide chain must change direction). This is reverse polarity which is a function of the Tzolkin. The polypeptide chain changes direction…in synchronicity with TIME changing direction between the strands via the G.A.P. kin.

Where is the spine of a double helix? They are the two spiraling strands. The chemical spine of the double helix is made up of sugar and phosphate molecules that are connected by chemical bonds, known as a sugar-phosphate spine. The two helical strands are connected through interactions between pairs of nucleotides, also called base pairs which are the ladders in between strands.

The protein spine is what holds a protein together and gives it an overall shape (or tertiary structure). … Each segment of a protein is the residue of an amino acid. Strong peptide bonds join the segments, forming the spine. Except for the ends of a protein chain, the spine of each segment contains the same atoms. Proline functions in the side chain.

I’ve substituted the word spine for the usual word backbonebecause thespine is crucial in the Tzolkin Harmonic; literally in the Body Holon and figuratively as the Mystic Column down the center of the harmonic. It is a reversal zone or the Zone of Transformation between the harmonics just as our own spine is a reversal zone of nerves to both sides of the body.

Natures’ Starships; Meteorites

In space and time, these amino acids in these groups pulsed off of one another to move up to the next group…according to the oracle. This could be very helpful to scientists. It should also be helpful to know that proline is inextricably in relationship with our sun as well. Proline is one with the stop Codon and pulses directly to it. According the to the Tzolkin, the Sun is archetype Yellow Sun. It has a key role in exponential timelessness universally.

The Solar Seals on page 89 are one with the Amino Acid Proteins. Notice at the top left it says 0=20 for Yellow Sun.

This is according to Tzolkin Harmonic Archetype number;

1, 5, 9, 13, 17 (cysteine, serine, methionine, glutamine, phenylalanine) All RED initiators.

2, 6, 10, 14, 18 (glycine, threonine, aspartic acid, lysine, tyrosine) All WHITE refiners.

3, 7, 11, 15, 19 (alanine, isoleucine, asparagine, arginine, tryptophan). All BLUE transformers.

0 = 20, 4, 8, 12, 16 (proline-stop codon, valine, leucine, glutamic acid, histidine). All are yellow ripeners.

Do you think that what you eat affects your bones? Barely. Muscle strengthening, which changes your DNA completely affects your bones making them stronger. Vegetable or animal protein doesn’t really matter.

However, alcohol and cigarettes which are 100 percent toxic to the entire body totally affect your muscles. I have had patients who work out, keep their weight down and have a positive mindset have 3 drinks a day and it ruins their joints and brain.

Time is the strands of past and future in our DNA, not the hands of time on a clock

Synchronicity


Synchronicity is congruence of AC and CA Timelines


Your memory of the past and creating your future with current action with the same amount of time applied makes them congruent

Your Synchronicity includes:

  • Daily observation of synchronicity between you and others whose kin# you are aware.
  • Manifestation of desired mindset, bodyset, heartset, time and treasure in front of you
  • Seeing your body change in the mirror. Ability to change your DNA
  • You own your time so you own your MIND.

Examples of Past Life Regression; Essentially Time Travel via DNA


This is very good because it demonstrates exactly how our DNA (our SELVES in a body) move from timeline to timeline. In this case, the CA timeline or past to the future.

It would be interesting to have a hypnotherapist do future life progression instead or regression or put someone on the AC timeline. Our culture is so past obsessed, or karma, that they probably can’t even imagine it.

I personally have wakeful dreaming memory of my lives on Tiamat, my past life with Michael my ex-fiance and my husband, my son’s father from the same lifetime. I’m continuing to work through issues of loyalty to Red Serpent and Red Dragon tribes even though they are maligned and called super aggressive and violent at every turn in the current time as though that is all they are. No tribe is 100% shadow and no tribe is 100% good. For gods sake, look at how insanely violent and aggressive humans are. That’s the pot calling the kettle black.

Anyway, I am passionate and compelled to leave a body of work on the planet as I’m doing now because there was too much ignorance and bias on Tiamat that caused them to aggressively defend themselves militarily and with A. I. tech that caused the timing mistake with the Sun’s energy. We need to learn the truth about our combined DNA and realize that we are all related, good and bad. This is not an easy lesson but scientific facts may help which is why I’m doing what I’m doing. I often ask myself why I love this issue so much and it’s because every day I have memories of my past life on a planet that is now…destroyed, and millions and millions of souls with it.

Earth has been profoundly successful as a genetic experiment station and the universe personalities that have overseen it are very pleased. The human race will not be allowed to end and neither will the Earth. But how soon things improve is still up in the air because although humans are not tolerating tyranny, the dark actors are still afoot and we have to figure out how to get them exiled so we can clean things up.

In Honor of Jose on His Birth Gateway and 911, Quotes from his Book about 911, “Time and the Technosphere”


Epic Book about 911

“Change your calendar, get back to living in harmony with the natural cycles of the rest of the biosphere–and the universe. If you don’t, well, the destruction of the Twin Towers was just the first stage of the Apocalypse but we still have a choice.”

“Human beings can begin to understand that they are a function of the biosphere, but not necessarily its controlling mechanism.” (Actually THE SUN and the Van Allen Belts around the Earth are. Together, they program the biosphere with DNA which is Time.)

“Who owns your Mind owns your Time. Own your own time and you will know your own mind.” (and your body. Same thing.)

“The destruction of the Twin Towers defines the LIMIT of artificial time.” (And A.I.)

“The synchronic order is measured and gauged by the 13:20 matrix.”

“The Science of Time is dependent on two factors; a sudden and radical disruption of the historical continuum; and a genuine globalization or planetarization of consciousness.“

“With the Final War between blood and money now upon us the question we must ask is; will the TECHNOSPHERE collapse before the BIOSPHERE or not?”

I use this symbol all of the time; ∞∞∞

“TV~~~~~~∞, means; Formulation: velocity of time is instantaneously infinite”

“The purpose of the 12:60 measure was to establish a timing standard that was actually a pseudo-solar calendar to assert male intellectual dominance.” (Ya don’t say.) (They had to do something to compete with women since they can’t automatically make a human being with a soul in their bodies. The competition hasn’t stopped.)

“Although we tend to think of the moon as feminine, the knowledge of the synodic measure, the cycle from new moon to new moon, became the exclusive province of a male priest class that used the lunar calendars to capture and control the feminine principle and to oppress women in general.”

“There is no question that the lunar calendar civilizations are the tool of powerfully patriarchal societies, the tables of the moons and the years being the possession of a dominant male priest class.”

Tone 11 pulses to the left hip and mine is killing me. *sigh* (It’s my family)

Look at that coordinate! Do not get your panties in a wad today. Do not take events seriously. There is always disappointment on this planet with people who have no spine. They won’t do the right thing because they sit in fear or, they don’t believe in God or have God in a box. What else is new? I don’t know about you but that’s been my entire life compromising with this crap.

Tone 11 Monkey…do not stress yourself out over anything today. I will continue writing but will post this now and you can check back.

The Interplanetary Holon

We are ruled by Venus today

Venus. Let it wash over you.

The Moon is in Scorpio and it’s ruler Pluto is quincunx to Jupiter so our INTUITION and JUDGMENT are a bit off today. Balance is off.

The Moon pulls in the energy further by forming a square to Jupiter (optimism and hope) and sextile to Pluto.

It feels like a test to maintain our center and stay reasonable while others are losing theirs. Got it!

Watch “WTF IS GOING ON? SSP Alliance, Dark Fleet, Super Federation & Propaganda Wars – As Above So Below” on YouTube


Nut-shell of what Corey said (But do listen and read the comments);

  • The hopeful narratives are not true at the moment. They may be more like wishes
  • The GFW is not going to save us but imo, Salla’s post about their Directives said that. We have to do the work, demand representation.
  • Lisa’s Comment below.
  • (Is he saying we need to be politically active?? Good God. We’ve already done that. AGAIN, imo opinion, THE WHOLE FREAKING PLANET, en masse, needs to cease movement, shut down and MEDITATE. Talk to Source. Get the deal going or we’re done. All at the same time. THE CABAL NEEDS TO BE GONE FROM THE PLANET.)
  • In The Galactic Super Federation, Earth is represented by ICC Earth Cabal. (Is he talking about Musk, Bezos and the other guy?)
  • We sit by giving up our power still looking for a savior. (I’m not)
  • The battle s are real out in the solar system but we are not winning (That contradicts Salla then. Not good)
  • He gets Earth Alliance briefings. They failed at the highest levels.
  • The Generals are spewing propaganda and associating with dark actors. Don’t buy the polarizing.
  • Earth Alliance v. Cabal propaganda now
  • They’re not arresting D.S. Cabal (I had that figured out a while ago. If they had, Biden wouldn’t be spouting off like he’s relevant.
  • The SSP is back on their heels now. The Dark Alliance has been exposed but it’s integrated with all of the other programs. They are “most wanted” hiding in gross Reptilian bases.
  • ICC pretended they didn’t know the dark fleet existed. It does.
  • Illegal E.T. are being held in life stasis on the moon for coming into our solar system.
  • The briefings he’s getting are not good.
  • He has been blackmailed extorted, and threatened in the community.

I have personally been threatened extorted and banned by my family this week, partly for being holistic, loving myself and not getting the vaccine, so something is separating the wheat from the chaff. I’m non-plussed after how I’ve been treated my entire life by criminals that call their actions love.

It’s dangerous to be an empowered Lightworker. Fortunately, I have friends.

Update From Michael Salla at Exopolitics


I’ve been following Dr. Salla less these days because I strongly agree with Dr. Greer that our strongest power is in the focus of our minds and spirituality. That should be obvious to my readers.

But what we’re dealing with now is spiritual indolence for millenia due to regressive evolution within the two Red tribes; Red Dragon and Red Serpent (The Draco and the Reptilians). He says in here that these kin are predatory and put self-interest first

Gee, who does that sound like? Humans can be fundamentally that way when stressed. It’s in our DNA. That’s because they’re species is dying! It’s a no-brainer. If you were suffering and laying on your death bed you would put yourself first also. What caused this? Bad choices in the past? Yes. Artificial Intelligence. It’s a bad deal! Real intelligence; Good deal.

It’s of HUGE import to humans because they BEGAN our species. Their DNA is in us. We would not be here without Tribe 1 and 5; Dragon and Serpent. The Dragon tribe gave us half our brain; the limbic brain. The mammalian species began with reptiles. We have breasts because of the reptilians. Mammals…mammary glands. It’s reptilian.

My heart felt heavy as I listened to this because I believe the bad E.T. seeds out there do require us to defend ourselves. The human species is priceless and awesome. We have to keep evolving forward. But at the same time, we need to continue to do what Dr. Greer is spiritually leading us to do, along with all of the Lightworkers on the planet; mediation, self-existing self-generation connected to Source, taking care of and loving our bodies. And he is loyal to J.C. as well.

We have a stormy past, we humans. But what our ancestors chose is not our doing. I’m convinced there is another very ancient story about the Red Dragon tribe on which we do not have details. China has all of that somewhere and that is why they are considered untrustworthy. I wonder if there is another piece to I Ching.

I would say, 75% of Terra (Earth) has had the great privilege to know of Master teachers coming to earth and teaching humans the way of peace and love. But some of Terra has not and they lag behind. Why? We need to understand their story, be patient and diligent.

The planetary reality is, we are going to have to juggle both peace, ascending evolution and those that are descending in their evolution while we make this shift. It’s not ideal but fortunately we have help.

Found: a controversial painting hidden inside a painting by Vermeer


This freshly unearthed image drastically alters the meaning of one of the artist’s most celebrated works.

Found: a controversial painting hidden inside a painting by Vermeer

Girl Reading a Letter in an Open Window

Credit: Gemäldegalerie Alte Meister

  • When restoring a painting by Vermeer, conservators discovered an image of Cupid covered up by an additional layer of paint.
  • The paint was removed, revealing the painting as the Dutch master had originally intended it.
  • While this discovery settles old debates about the work, it also raises some new questions — like: who covered it up?

Every now and then, conservators stumble upon an unseen detail that completely alters the meaning of a centuries-old image. Earlier this week, the Gemäldegalerie Alte Meister in Dresden, Germany unveiled their most recent attempt to restore Girl Reading a Letter in an Open Window, a genre painting created by the Dutch artist Johannes Vermeer in 1657.

Although the painting was once attributed to Rembrandt, it contains numerous elements that are considered characteristic of Vermeer. A drapery is pulled to the side, allowing viewers to glimpse into the private life of a female figure who, depicted in profile, engages in some kind of soft, quiet, and altogether unremarkable everyday activity, in this case, reading a letter.

Yet this seemingly mundane image had a big surprise in store. For a very long time, it was believed that the girl depicted in Vermeer’s painting was standing in front of a plain, old, undecorated wall. However, X-rays revealed that this wall was actually a secondary coat of paint applied to obscure a picture of Cupid, the god of erotic love and desire in classical mythology. (I didn’t even see the painting of Cupid when I first looked at it. I immediately saw the mask on the bed and the entities. Lisa T.)

An imbalanced composition

Even before modern technology allowed conservators to peek underneath layers of paint without damaging them, critics suspected that Girl Reading a Letter was hiding something. Photos taken before the restoration clearly show the darkened outlines of what used to be the shadow cast by a canvas hanging on the wall.

In early 2018, the Gemäldegalerie made the decision to remove this secondary coat and reveal the painting-within-a-painting hidden underneath. The result of this risky and slightly controversial endeavor — which the gallery now advertises as an entirely “new” Vermeer — shed some light on the many mysteries surrounding this famous artwork.

Why was Cupid’s presence in the painting not discovered sooner? One explanation is that Vermeer often incorporated empty backgrounds in his genre paintings. The wall behind The Milkmaid, for example, was left completely naked. Presumably, this was because the negative space helped bring Vermeer’s unsung heroine, the maid, into focus.

In Girl Reading a Letter, this negative space has been removed and the image of Cupid, almost as large as the girl herself, now fills up a large portion of the background. Rather than stealing the spotlight from Vermeer’s main subject, the painting-within-a-painting adds a welcome sense of harmony to what could have previously been considered an imbalanced composition.

Forbidden love

But the presence of the love god does more than change the painting’s look and feel; it also alters its meaning. For decades, historians debated what the contents of the letter might be. In his biography of Vermeer, Norbert Schneider interpreted the wide-open window as symbolic for the outside world, arguing the painting depicted the girl’s “longing to extend her domestic sphere.”

Schneider studied the objects Vermeer scattered throughout the painting to test his argument and quickly noticed the bowl of fruit in the foreground. According to Dutch Golden Age iconography, fruit and vegetables represented love, sin, and according to Schneider, even something as specific as “extramarital relations.”

Schneider made this deduction before the painting-within-a-painting was unearthed. Once the X-rays confirmed Vermeer had originally intended to ordain the background with an image of Cupid, the historian concluded the letter was a love letter. And not just any love, but forbidden love: the bittersweet fruits of a 17th century affair.

Though a handful of Vermeer’s most striking portraits from the aforementioned Milkmaid to The Girl with the Pearl Earring were painted against an empty backdrop, the Dutch master frequently incorporated artwork from other painters in his own creations in such a way that the relationships between different images produced subtle statements like the one outlined above.

Who covered up the painting-within-a-painting?

While the Gemäldegalerie’s restoration attempt answers many questions about Girl Reading a Letter, it has also raised new ones: When was the painting-within-a-painting covered up? Who is responsible? And most importantly, why did they do it? Unfortunately, these questions cannot be answered by X-rays and lab tests alone.

Initially, critics simply assumed that Vermeer covered up the painting-within-a-painting himself, perhaps because he wanted its symbolism to be a little less obvious. However, this hypothesis was quickly rejected for a number of reasons, including the fact that the secondary coat of paint had been applied decades after the first one.

While it is possible that Vermeer revisited the painting later in life, it is unlikely he would have made any significant changes. Those familiar with his work know that similar paintings of Cupid can be found in the background of other genre paintings, including Lady Standing at a Virginal, which he completed three years before his death in 1675.

In hindsight, conservators were not all that surprised by their discovery of the painting-within-a-painting as images of Cupid decorate the backgrounds of many original Vermeers, so much so that critics speculate each individual iteration must have been based on a painting by a contemporary artist that Vermeer had in his possession.

Old art, new findings

With their discovery of a “new” Vermeer, the Gemäldegalerie offers yet another example of how modern technology can enhance our understanding of age-old artwork. A few years ago, Harvard Art Museums used specialized light installations to cover up the wear and tear on a series of murals Mark Rothko had completed in the 1960s.

More recently, the Rijksmuseum made similar strides when it used artificial intelligence software to reconstruct sections of The Night Watch that went missing more than three centuries ago. With the help of neural networks, researchers were able to translate a copy from the style of a contemporary artist into Rembrandt’s own.

Now, it is finally Vermeer’s turn. “The Delft painter’s actual intention becomes recognizable,” museum director Stephan Koja announced in a statement. “Before, we only looked at a vestige. Now, we understand it as a key image in his oeuvre. [Girl Reading a Letter] is a fundamental statement about the nature of love.”
