Deep Dive: Matty Healy, the evil edgelord
2023.06.01 02:30 DramaThrowAway2023 Deep Dive: Matty Healy, the evil edgelord
| Hi! I did a huge deep dive on the DWD drama a while ago and was asked to do others and said I would. Since then, all hell broke lose. I talked about this with some people privately, but I mentioned in my first post that I was a stan, just not of anyone involved in the drama. Well, I was a Taylor Swift stan. Was being the operative word. I'm once again using by throwaway account because I was warned by people who I reached out to privately of the horrible things people have been telling them since they called Matty out. I used to be a huge Swiftie, and I wasn't that careful with my personal data when participating in conversations, so I need to be careful. I'm tired of seeing Tay's new boo defended and the excuses people make about him, so my second deep dive is exposing him for the dirtbag he's been his whole career, how he refuses to apologize or gives terrible apologies when he does. How he repeats the same "mistakes" over and over, etc. I know there's been a ton of threads about this man lately, but I wanted to have everything in one place. Strap in. Trigger warning for everything under the sun, grain of salt on unsubstantiated stuff (there's like, two things and one of them is pretty obviously true, but I rather say it than not). The 1975 is a band from the city of Manchester, England. They were a band for about a decade before they reached any sort of success. That happened in late 2012/early 2013. Matty was born April 1989 and is now 34 years old. This is important because everything I'm about to show you happened in his adulthood. He was 23 in 2012. 2012 - He dated a girl called Gemma Janes, who was 17/18 years old, when he was 23/24. Here's a pic of them together on her Instagram, posted in January 2013. She was still 17 - her birthday is May 11 1995. The age of consent in England is 16, so this wasn't illegal. Immoral, however? I think yes. She posted him a lot, btw. It wasn't just a one-off pic. Like here and here and here. She was also in the band's music video for the song Chocolate (Aug 2013). She simulates/appears to be nude. She was 18. He was 24.
2013 - Normally, I wouldn't include something like this, because it feels like a small issue and too prevalent to actually single him/his band out, but given some of the criticism he makes of hip hop culture later on (and how he pats his own back on his own "feminism"), I decided to come back and include it.
The music video for the song Girls juxtaposes The 1975 and a version of it but as girls. This is the formation for The 1975 as men vs as women: https://preview.redd.it/dln06ogsta3b1.png?width=499&format=png&auto=webp&s=7d822cae6d3a07046d2a1b4facb1a0662f742142 You know, totally the same outfits. But misogyny is only in hip hop, according to him (you'll get to that in a second). Girls in bathing suits featuring the band fully dressed. This is basically the tone of the entire music video. https://preview.redd.it/8sb6ixbtta3b1.png?width=500&format=png&auto=webp&s=43a708bf4639c9917761b709afdbea5d1c5b5f53 Once again, this is, sadly, par for the course for the music industry, and usually I wouldn't include it (I got it from a ridiculously named blog as I was researching), but given the context of what he will preach later, it seems pretty freaking ironic. - The song was part of their August 2013 album called The 1975, and features lyrics about a 17 year old girl "seducing" him. Reminder, he had met his current girlfriend at the time when she was 17. These are some of the lyrics:
Bite your face to spite your noseSeventeen and a half years oldWorrying about my brother finding outWhere's the fun in doing what you're told? 'Cause they're just girls breaking heartsEyes bright, uptight, just girlsBut she can't be what you need if she's seventeenThey're just girls Whether the song was inspired by her or not, he seems to be perfectly aware of how weird it is to be dating a 17 year old in his mid twenties. Yet, he dated a 17 year old, quite unapologetically, in his mid twenties. - I don't know the exact date of this, but a Norwegian journalist accused Matty of sexually harassing her. The accusation was made in 2016 and she dated it back in 2013. Here's an article in English, which links to the article by the journalist in Norwegian. She says he told her he's a sex addict and invited her to his hotel room.
2014 - In the spring of 2014 they launched on a long tour of nightclubs in North America. While in Canada, he did an interview with IX Daily, a (now defunct) website dedicated to indie subculture. The interviewers were two girls.
The following exchange happened in this interview: Interviewer: What is your biggest fear and biggest vice? Matty: These are quite heavy questions for girls dressed as you two. Interviewer: I'm a little bit offended... Matty: You're offended by that? Interviewer: Mhm (smiling awkwardly) Matty: D'you know how many people I meet every single day? D'you know how many people interview me every single day? Interviewer: Yes, a lot. Matty: (pointing to both of them) You look nice for the interview. You've made an effort. You're, like, a pretty girl... I'm gonna have certain stereotypes. I don't meant offend you. At all. But the choker thing is kind of in, I see. I do like that. Interviewer: I'll take it as a compliment. Video. Around the 3 minute mark. - In August 2014, Matty goes on a tirade explaining why he always slags off religion, including islam. Culminating with this tweet:
https://preview.redd.it/b8i4vebwta3b1.png?width=500&format=png&auto=webp&s=60a3b39b07d378425fa46e25225f560a03692411 A Muslim fan from Egypt called Farida told him this: https://preview.redd.it/lwddfmwwta3b1.png?width=624&format=png&auto=webp&s=792a9e6efbcc646ed36774e6f19a1bdc15325621 He replied this: https://preview.redd.it/h1ohrutxta3b1.png?width=494&format=png&auto=webp&s=45042fd64ef489dbd88853a7dd5d33487f4a2941 The fan took the high road and replied: https://preview.redd.it/bx9dpb9zta3b1.png?width=618&format=png&auto=webp&s=5ef5dbf2ee25dd69a7e7bd0f71bcc0832e1ee925 He royally ignored their explanations and counterpoints to his narrow view and went on a rant instead, which I'll link in a second. Then finished with this: https://preview.redd.it/bd8z55v2ua3b1.png?width=500&format=png&auto=webp&s=8a49cf8861f084637b7817579e990ffbea30345f And retweeted this: https://preview.redd.it/ckbb21p3ua3b1.png?width=500&format=png&auto=webp&s=17805e6195374197624a0cae5b20e5faaea6c755 Then left Twitter. The fan recounted the exchange, you can find that and the rest of his rant here. I know this is getting long, but the fan was actually very well-spoken and I want to echo her words. In case some people don't click on the link, this is how she concluded the post: I just want to explain to you that the reason I got angry was because he had been spreading rumours that isis follow the rules of islam and that is far from the truth. Isis are a threat to Muslims and Arab countries around the world right now. Our religion is against killing innocent people, it’s haram. Terrorist groups like isis who think what they’re doing is right and that they’re following islam are people who are feeding themselves lies about what Islam tells us to do. Islam is a very peaceful and loving religion contrary to popular belief and i really hope if you think otherwise you take the time to educate yourself before giving out your opinions when you do not have the facts. I also got angry because he has a huge following and some people are obviously going to side with him (trust me they’ve been in my mentions all day) and they’re just going to agree with him when he doesn’t have the facts and he’s so obviously not educated on this subject. He’s constantly tweeting that we should respect people who have different religions then tweets things like fuck god then tweets that religion is an idea THEN says its faith so he’s all over the place. Article about this whole thing. Including this because since his account is deleted, we can't verify the tweets and I don't want it to be left as hearsay. The original pics from the article are gone, but the tweets are all referenced in the body of the text. - At some point in 2014, Matty dates Halsey, whose debut EP Room 93 (released in October 2014) is about him. Halsey was born in September 1994, which means she and Matty dated when she was 18 and he was 25.
- In August 2014, while the band is performing at Lollapalooza, he allegedly kisses a 15 year old girl. Video of the accusation. In another video, the same person explains it happened in Chicago.
- Someone unearthed a lot of tweets from fans talking about Matty kissing underage fans, some of them date back years and also reference Lollapalooza. Here's a link to the last tweet, which includes a video of the fan talking about it and a video where you can hear Matty ask if she wants "a proper" kiss. He doesn't ask how old she is.
https://preview.redd.it/zuguems29b3b1.png?width=582&format=png&auto=webp&s=5b037d7395e227a81ba2c402ce06b43723f0d76d - In December 2014 he tweets this. He has never apologized.
https://preview.redd.it/dzudd3q8ua3b1.png?width=500&format=png&auto=webp&s=db76311b79db150d828f9e5c30b3adf7fde5876d 2015 - It's not clear when exactly they met, but we know that by 2015, he was dating his girlfriend Gabriella Brooks, who in 2015 was 18/19 (born May 1996). Matty was 25/26. It's now the third confirmed relationship Matty has with a teenager while in his mid 20s. And teenagers that are either minors or barely adults, at that. Add to this the weird underage kissing...
2017 - In April, he retweets Islamophobic tweets by a Muslim hate group, then unretweets when he's called out. Here's a summary by his own subreddit.
- In July, he mouths the N word while "dancing" to the song Caroline by Aminé. Clip here.
2018 - In November he gives an interview with The Fader where he says the following:
One of the problems is the youth of hip-hop. At the moment, with SoundCloud rap, it's become a bit of a drug-taking competition, and that happened in rock and roll. Those things get weeded out the longer those things exist. The reason misogyny doesn't happen in rock and roll anymore is because it's a vocabulary that existed for so long is that it got weeded out. It still exists in hip-hop because [the genre] is so young, but it'll stop. That's why you have this moment with young black men — Kanye-aged men, as well — talking about their relationship with themselves, which is a big step forward for hip-hop. Drake, for example. But then they'll be like, "But I still got bitches." The scene's relationship with women hasn't caught up to its relationship with itself, but that's something that will happen. He tweeted the following apology a few days later (his account is now deleted): This bit of me talking in an interview reads as patronising, uninformed and reductive. And to be fair it is. And I’d like to apologise…. What I said isn’t correct. And it’s not all a misquote. Just for clarity I said that misogyny wasn’t ALLOWED in rock and roll now days in a way it is in hip hop – not that it doesn’t exist, that’s maybe a misquote as I’m aware of the misogyny in rocknroll… I would never deny the RAMPANT misogyny that exists in Rock n Roll. It’s everywhere and has been a weirdly accepted part of it since it’s inception. BUT now looking at what I said – I was simplifying a complex issue without the right amount of education on the subject I think cos I’m so actively trying to support women (not a brag but with the record label etc)**I kinda forget that im not very educated on feminism and misogyny and I cant just ‘figure stuff out’ in public and end up trivialising the complexities of such enormous, experienced issues So basically, I’m sorry for saying that as I was wrong. And thanks for pointing it out cos if I’m gonna do this I have to keep learning.Just to clarify I’m not apologising for saying ‘rock music is void of misogyny’. I didn’t say that. Any body who says that is not only thick as fuck they most probably don’t have physical eyes. It’s the stupidest thing I’ve ever heard I’m apologising for the fact my words could INSINUATE that misogyny in culture and music is an exclusively hip hop (black) issue. I do not believe that. What I believe is that I’m not educated enough to speak on THAT properly and a big part of that is this white dick that I have I'm trying to keep my personal commentary to a minimum but him including how much of a feminist he is because of his record label in his weird ass apology took me out. I got the tweets from this Billboard article. 2019 - After winning at the Brits, he tweets that "it's not often that left leaning bands win awards." And I didn't know my eyes could roll that fast and that far.
- In September, he posts this picture, stepping on the South Korean flag:
https://preview.redd.it/vk7g1uebua3b1.png?width=640&format=png&auto=webp&s=1f8c14b136056bbc224566574c76bd32b9aba2cb When called out on it, he replies this: https://preview.redd.it/8bdic6fcua3b1.png?width=488&format=png&auto=webp&s=840dff3f8907972e316b53a1aabcaae36d2914f9 Article about it. - In December he gives an interview in which he demonstrates that he didn't bother to read Farida's points, all the way back in 2014, or anyone else's since then, because he continues to confuse ISIS / terrorism in the name of Islam with Islam itself, which is a peaceful religion.
Here's a transcript of his obnoxious speech: You can’t criticize Islam as a set of ideas…because you’re inherently criticizing people. But that’s a problem with society because Islamophobia does exist, people are bigoted. But what that really is is thick, scared people not liking brown people. Whereas I love people, I love brown people.I just don’t know when I’m allowed to be offended. Religious people are always allowed to be offended: ‘Oh, we’re offended by this, I’m offended by that.’I have to get up every day and read some abhorrent that’s happened in the name of religion. And I never get a day. I never get a day where I’m allowed to be offended. … Where are my rights as an atheist? Fundamentally misunderstanding that most victims of terrorist attacks are Muslim. It's incredible that he was lectured on this by a Muslim girl 5 years prior and yet, he still couldn't get it. He was 30 years old at this point, by the way. This is the third Islamophobic incident with him (that we have record of). 2020 - The 1975's song Roadkill featured the F slur. Here he is singing it live in late 2022. To be transparent, he's quoting an imaginary person calling him the slur. As a self-admitted straight man, he doesn't get to reclaim it.
- The 1975's song Me & You Together Song features these lyrics:
I'm sorry that I'm kinda queer It's not as weird as it appears It's 'cause my body doesn't stop me (Stop me) Oh, it's okay, lots of people think I'm gay IDEK, the song is about falling in love with a girl he meets while she's topless. I can't even be offended because this is such an edgy unnecessary hot mess. - In May, during the time of the height of the BLM protests, he tweeted about it... promoting their own song
https://preview.redd.it/v4o20nseua3b1.png?width=623&format=png&auto=webp&s=7a558ad8ccdb756c26060042c63737b8988fed00 When called out for it, he doubled down and refused to apologize. Then deleted his entire social media. 2021 In the spring of 2021, Adam Powell, a longtime collaborator (videographer) of The 1975 was accused of sexual misconduct by a number of fans. Here's a whole video about it. The accusations had been piling up for a while, the video I'm linking, which breaks them down, is from April 2021. Dirty Hit, the record label that hosts a bunch of indie artists including The 1975, of which Matty was a director of until recently, made a statement in May. - A fan had sent Matty the following DMs in March, which he never replied to.
https://preview.redd.it/e99b8ubgua3b1.png?width=360&format=png&auto=webp&s=7e3e9d8c8b13c27811516bd0b3b02329e50ad417 Instead, he cropped one of the DMs and posted it in his Instagram story, mocking the fan: https://preview.redd.it/sbuv8l6hua3b1.png?width=383&format=png&auto=webp&s=ed42b8e2f4d6ea958c7c6f55ee7b80042f83720a Here's a tweet by the fan who had this "exchange," explaining it. Adam Powell was one of his best friends. He still hasn't said anything about it. 2022 “A boy goes up to a Jewish man. The boy asks ‘Can I have $20?’ The man says ‘Can you have $15? Why do you need $10?" This is the typical stereotype about Jewish people being cheap. “A terrorist runs onto a plane with a gun. He yells ‘Who’s a Jew?’ A man stand in the back and says ‘Well that’s an interesting question.'" This is a dog whistle about terrorists being Arabs (because of the ongoing Arab vs Jewish feud), as well as a play on how Jewish people aren't unified. https://preview.redd.it/y82v73wiua3b1.png?width=597&format=png&auto=webp&s=f713d164c583575a3332ad11945b3e50b43e771e He was seen wearing it again in March 2023 He was also seen hanging out with one of the Red Scare hosts, Dasha Nekrasova https://preview.redd.it/uwn71c5kua3b1.png?width=597&format=png&auto=webp&s=3ea3571ab131bd9c1c9a4a8e927d980addf8b4d7 And posted this on his instagram story: https://preview.redd.it/nk6n499lua3b1.png?width=605&format=png&auto=webp&s=7bb990071eef1fdbdee8f0a3bbd57ea68ad18bfd I really don't have the patience to fully explain why Dasha and the Red Scare Podcast are an issue. You can do your own research to actually get deep in this one, but just so you get an idea, one of the episodes of the Red Scare podcast was dedicated to make fun of FKA Twigs for speaking up about the abuse she suffered by Shia LaBeouf. It's chilling to hear, so trigger warning. Matty dated FKA Twigs for three years, right after her relationship with Shia ended. FKA blocked Matty on Instagram upon breaking up, for what it's worth. The Red Scare also had an episode where they bodyshamed Matty's current girlfriend, Taylor Swift, and said she should go back to having an eating disorder. They also called her mom Miss Piggy. That's the tone of the entire thing. They find it funny to platform people like Alex Jones, they think Trump is hilarious and have mocked his abuse victims. Just... nasty stuff. 2023 - In January, he does a nazi salute and march on stage as "a parody" to mock Kanye and Trump.
- In early 2023, I don't have exact dates, he posts the following Instagram stories:
https://preview.redd.it/ik6kp6upua3b1.png?width=1000&format=png&auto=webp&s=c3f89f2c5cf1a0a2b074092a45b1e4182c13f890 - In February he goes to The Adam Friedland Show, a "dirtbag leftist" podcast hosted by Adam Friedland and Nick Mullen. The tone of the podcast is typical edgelord leftist who thinks that because they say offensive things as "satire" and "social commentary" they're not actually offensive.
I'm not going to spend a ton of time on this, because this is the part that's documented the most The podcast would be taken down by Spotify and Apple Music because of its offensive content, but it's still available on YouTube and you can listen to the whole thing here. In this podcast Matty and the hosts make... a joke? about Matty being caught red-handed about to m*sturbate to Ghetto Gaggers, a website that "specializes" on showing p*rn about brutalized (Matty's word) black women. You can hear the whole exchange here, and there's a very graphic description of the type of videos you can find in it. A transcript of the conversation can be found in this article. Since then, apparently Adam Friedland claimed that it was a joke that he suggested to Matty (I can't find where he claimed this, but I continue to see his fans saying he did). I don't think this changes much of anything because Matty was clearly very aware of what Ghetto Gaggers was, given the fact that he described it, and still found it hilarious. So he either finds it black women being brutalized arousing and funny or just funny. The podcast also included a section where they talk about rapper Ice Spice. The hosts call her "a chubby Chinese lady" to which Matty bursts out laughing. They also mock multiple accents, which Matty encourages and laughs at. Here's an excerpt. The only thing he apologized for of all this was the Ice Spice comments. Video of his apology during a random show in New Zealand, Ice Spice totally saw that! Trigger warning for eyeroll content. This is the transcript: I just feel a bit bad, and I’m kind of a bit sorry if I’ve offended you. Ice Spice, I’m sorry. It’s not because I’m annoyed that me joking got misconstrued. It’s because I don’t want Ice Spice to think I’m a dick. I love you, Ice Spice. I’m so sorry. The truth is, I see a sign that says like, ‘Matty, I hope you’re okay.’ I feel a bit bad, to be honest, because I feel like I’ve been a bit irresponsible. It’s very well for me to say, I don’t understand how famous I am. I don’t like being famous. But reality is reality. And I think that I’ve said some things or kind of, I make a joke out of everything. That’s my thing. And I can take it too far sometimes in front of too many people. And I feel a bit embarrassed. So that’s the truth. Then in a New Yorker profile he said he wasn't sorry about the podcast (no specific mention of Ice Spice) and basically said none of it mattered. I asked him about the podcast. He’d been doing so much promo, he told me, that he wanted to do something that felt more like simply talking with his friends. But, of course, he had done this all in public, on mike. Had he baited his fans on purpose? “A little bit,” he said. “But it doesn’t actually matter. Nobody is sitting there at night slumped at their computer, and their boyfriend comes over and goes, ‘What’s wrong, darling?’ and they go, ‘It’s just this thing with Matty Healy.’ That doesn’t happen.” “Maybe it does,” I said. “If it does,” he said, “you’re either deluded or you are, sorry, a liar. You’re either lying that you are hurt, or you’re a bit mental for being hurt. It’s just people going, ‘Oh, there’s a bad thing over there, let me get as close to it as possible so you can see how good I am.’ And I kind of want them to do that, because they’re demonstrating something so base level.” - Matty deleted his social media in April, but as of the day he deleted, he followed Kyle Rittenhouse and Andrew Tate
https://preview.redd.it/zumf8dox8b3b1.png?width=686&format=png&auto=webp&s=5cd298d7a2666043ba0c90fd525b440dccdab500 Allegedly, the follows were because he was "doing research" or I don't know, making fun of them? It's hard to keep up with the edgelord excuses. ____________________________________ I didn't include the comments Matty himself made saying that he would feel "emasculated" if he was linked to Taylor back in 2016. He published a lengthy apology that basically justifies the whole thing and says men have "those thoughts." I can't add any more pics, and his twitter account, where he posted it, is deleted, so the tweet is the last hotlink, here is the actual full pic. Make of that what you will. He has also used the R word, but he apologized for that (although his apology, included the R word), so, you know... There's more. He did this whole bit where he posted offensive memes in a highlight called "Problemattic", but this is incredibly long and I'm at my limit of 20 pics already. If anyone has any additions, leave them in the comments. I don't think there's a chance in hell Reddit will allow me to edit this post, so I won't be able to add anything (I couldn't with the last one and it was a lot shorter), so please, if the comments add stuff, upvote them so they're at the top. Also, please forgive any typos or mistakes, as I said,I won't be able to edit it. Thank you to everyone that contributed to this thread and kindly answered my questions in DMs. You guys rock! submitted by DramaThrowAway2023 to Fauxmoi [link] [comments] |
2023.06.01 00:17 khulk A broader take on the API news
Every change Reddit has made over the last decade has made it worse. It started when they began netting votes—there was a time when a post or comment could sit at +1, 500 up and 499 down—you could see the spread. It gave credence to marginally less popular viewpoints still worthy of consideration. It was a fundamental aspect of the original concept that kept interactions nuanced, civil, and productive. Now Reddit is an unadulterated hivemind, where a gentle breeze or a bot could permanently swing a new post up or down. So public opinion continues to converge, eradicating even polite and reasonable dissent like an unwelcome virus. Its widespread accessibility to every technological and verbal illiterate with a phone has made thoughtful, intelligent discourse impossible in all but the smallest niche subs. It only vaguely resembles what it once was, both in function and aesthetic.
When Reddit started, Reddit was the product. Now, we are the product. And Apollo’s value prop to Reddit is a rounding error. By Christian’s math, there are 678k Apollo users. We are .15% of the 2019 active user tally. We can all quit and it won’t matter, and they know it. Christian could lose 95% of his users, and the remaining 5% would net Reddit more under the new pricing, and with 1/20th the bandwidth impact.
Christian, you have a hell of a frontend. I’d pay monthly for an OG Reddit experience if you would be willing to stand up a backend. 678k other Apollo users know it’s the best for a reason and might feel the same. And you are probably the best positioned person in the world to do it.

2023.05.31 20:50 Duck_Caught_Upstream An Analysis of 5* QBs Since 2004 Pt. 2
Continuing the post I made yesterday analyzing all 48 5* QBs as determined by 247 since 2004, today I wanted to share some more of my findings on analyzing how succesful these QBs are.
Part 1 - Analyzed QB Ratings of each 5* from SRCFB compared to the average QB Rating in the respective era
Today I wanted to take a look at where these QBs started there career versus where they ended up by looking at the rate of transferring.
Obviosuly it goes without saying that the transfer portal has fundamentally changed college football but, even before the one time transfer rule it was surpringsly common for 5* QBs to transfer. Starting with Shea Patterson who was a 5* from the class of 2016 there was about a 3 year period where QBs around college football where transfering and then immedieatly playing the next year, despite the NCAA's rule of transfers being required to sit out one year. Each of those cases is different and the purpose of this post isn't to re-pit Michigan fans against Ole Miss fans and Georgia fans against Ohio St. fans but for the below analysis I will focus on the QB classes of 2004-2015.
Using the cut-off of 5* QBs from the class of 2015 there where 36 5* QBs rated by 247 from 2004-2015. Of these 36, 11 transferred for a transfer rate of 30.5%. It should be noted this is a small sample size, however I still think it is meanigful that even though the NCAA had the one year sit-out rule for transfers these QBs who where highly touted coming out of high school still transferred at a clip of 30.5%.
As you know the transfer portal has increased the rate of players transferring of all caliber and all positions. 5* QBs are not special where in comes to the new reality of the sport. In the recruiting classes of 2019 and 2020 there where four 5* QBs. Spencer Rattler, Bo Nix, Bryce Young, and DJ Uiagalelei. 3 of those 4 have transferred and the one who didn't transfer won the heisman and was drafted first overall in the NFL draft. Will 75% of 5* QBs transfer in the future? Probably not. This is a incredibily small sample size. But I think due to the new realities of college football and the the nature of the QB position its entirely possibile that 50% of 5* QBs transfer.
Tua Tagovailoa, Trevor Lawerence, and Justin Fields all coming onto the college football scene in a condensed period of time and then absolutley lightinging it up in there sophmore seasons (freshmen for Trevor Lawerence) has made it so that almost every 5* QB coming out now expects to be leading there team and in heisman contention by the time there sophmore season roles around. If they aren't in that position they are going to transfer to another school and try and be that type of player somewhere else with a clear path.
Takeaways
- 5* QBs transferred at a surprisngly high rate before the transfer portal was even a thing. Obviosuly they will continue to transfer at even higher rates now that the transfer portal is in place
- Less of a takeaway but more of a prediction. In addition to securing a commitment form a 5* QB you almost need to make sure there is a clear path for them to start in the first two years of there career otherwise they will probably transfer.

2023.05.31 17:12 diegobiavati Uma Nova Escola de Sargentos para formar o líder de pequena fração preservando valores e tradições
1. A importância do líder militar
É inegável a importância do líder para a condução de qualquer grupo na obtenção de melhores resultados. Na profissão militar, o exercício da liderança é ainda mais relevante, uma vez que a existência do líder conduzindo a sua fração é fundamental para a motivação e para o sucesso em combate.
No século XVIII, o político e diplomata francês Charles-Maurice de Talleyrand resumiu essa importância ao afirmar: “temo mais um exército de cem ovelhas lideradas por um leão do que um exército de cem leões liderados por uma ovelha”. Bem mais tarde, no século XX, essa realidade permaneceu imutável para os militares e o Professor Emérito da Harvard Bussiness School, John P. Kotter, autor de vários livros de liderança, atestou que “ninguém descobriu ainda como gerenciar pessoas de forma eficaz em uma batalha, elas devem ser lideradas”.
Adentramos no século XXI, na chamada Era do Conhecimento, sem que a necessidade de formar líderes militares sofresse alteração. E, nesse diapasão, a atual Escola de Sargentos das Armas (ESA), referência principal na formação dos sargentos de carreira do Exército Brasileiro, que compõem 62% do efetivo profissional da Instituição, substituiu, em 2019, os dizeres garrafais estampados no Pátio Principal da Escola, “Sargento, elo fundamental entre o Comando e a Tropa” para “Aqui são forjados líderes de pequena fração”.

2023.05.31 15:25 whitespadex How To Get 50+ Hot Leads & Sales Meetings Per Week Using High Intent Customer Targeting (FACEBOOK ADS)
Wanna know how I generate 50+ hot sales calls for multiple business owners & their sales teams every week? Read this 👇
Everything comes down to
Targeting.
If you’re running a specialized B2B business, or home remodeling, solar, luxury real estate etc. etc… do you think you can really go broad?
Absolutely not!
The folks that are promoting the “broad targeting” approach in this sub are experts in mass market goods, fashion accessories etc.
But if you want to sell a $20M penthouse… or if you want to sell a 6-figure enterprise software deal…
do you really think you can go broad? There are so many of you running specialized businesses that broad targeting is just not going to work for you…
But interest targeting doesn’t always work great either… So in this post I’m gonna reveal my secret
“custom” targeting mechanism that I’ve been using for over 3 years… and I’ve been getting HIGH QUALITY appointments for
$25-$30 per quality sales meeting. And you can get the same results if you follow everything I've written here.
If you’ve been in this sub for a while… you’ll know that a lot of Business owners, Founders & CEOs know me as the force behind generating qualified sales meetings for “big ticket” products & services… all through Facebook Ads.
Which cannot be refuted considering I’ve produced over
$55M in sales for my clients in a short period.
Business owners in this sub have reported
TRIPLE growth in net profits simply from reading & applying my posts here on Reddit…
One beginner to Facebook Ads sent me a DM the other day telling me how he signed 3 high ticket clients in just 2 weeks after reading my book…
What most people don’t know is HOW I make this happen using a very simple targeting system, a simple funnel & simple advertising formula.
Nothing complicated about it.
Last month, I launched
13 brand new accounts with no prior advertising history - by EOM (end-of-month) each of them reported an avg.
1000% jump in pipeline value… EACH of these businesses are talking to MORE prospects than ever before - which resulted in significant revenue jump.
So, how do I do it? It’s obviously the TARGETING that I was talking about…
But let’s’ go over some
fundamentals first! Because nothing can beat the fundamentals…
Once you have your fundamentals in place… we will use my custom targeting method to get you QUALIFIED sales meetings for cheap!
By fundamentals I mean, you need to focus on building TRUST & AUTHORITY upfront.
… so by the time they’re on a call with you, they’re already sold on your service.
People only buy from people they trust..
So essentially 3 things need to happen: ✔️Weed out bad prospects upfront ✔️Create trust & establish authority to pull good prospects only ✔️Scale this lead flow using ads.
We will go over the custom targeting mechanism in this post, be patient!
Let’s just explore the fundamentals of marketing first.
FUNDAMENTALS FIRST 1) Write long form sales letters: This has been the number #1 weapon in my arsenal since 2019.
From writing sales letters alone I was able to produce
$4M in cash for myself… … and
$55M for clients in 3 years. While the majority of the market uses long-form sales letter to sell low-ticket items… I use them to generate
“high-ticket” sales meetings. And with just
$50-$100 per day in ad spend I’m able to pull 2-5 sales meetings per day…
If you can spend $500/day on ads, with my method you’ll be doing
40-50 sales calls per week! And if you sales process is rock solid with a minimum of
30% closing rate on cold traffic - you could be doing
$75,000 a week…
This is the EXACT process I have used to generate numbers like: - $3M/per month net profit for a home remodeling business (with under $1M in ad spend)
- $200,000/per month for a software business (with only $7,000 in ad spend)
- $12M total investment for a fund (with only $5,000 in ad spend)
- $50,000/per month profit for a web dev agency (with only $10k in ad spend)
… and the list is endless.
I use no webinars, no lead magnets, no long-term email nurtures, no low-ticket items, no lead-form ads… in fact, EVERYTHING I do goes AGAINST conventional advice…
… and the results speak for themselves.
I have ONLY used the Sales Letter Method for every single client (and served over 217+ clients)… in 37+ industries…
And it works every single time.
(In the next few days I’ll be writing out an end-to-end training on exactly HOW to write a sales letter for generates mega-profits)
The only substitute for this is a 5-7 min VSL… but if you don’t have rock solid camera presence it’s hard to make this work.. VSLs also take time to build & test.
That’s why we focus on sales letters -
Long form being key. Use timeless direct response marketing fundamentals to educate your prospects & position your offer as a unique solution in the market.
When you use
“educational” marketing, you’re not only weeding out bad prospects
(people who never take action) but you’re also showcasing your expertise.. This is the foundation of establishing authority.
We call them sales letters- but there’s nothing
“salesy” about them at all.
It’s content marketing redefined for “cold traffic ads”.
2) There are 2 elements I use - HOW & WHY: - How your “process” eliminates ALL the problems your ideal clients are having & gets them the results they want
- Why they need this now more than ever (primarily because nothing like this exists anywhere else. It’s called presenting a “unique mechanism”.
The HOW & WHY is typically called
“reason-why” marketing.
Some of the most legendary copywriters in the world have taught me how to do this… but basically, when you use “reason-why” marketing in your ads, your campaigns just become a whole lot tighter, more efficient and WAY more high converting.
3) Build trust & authority: I then back my claims with high impact case studies & testimonials..
Projecting social proof is key.
You need to write out your case studies in a way that backs your claims & helps your ideal clients see how your process has helped tons of other people.
The minute you add substantial proof to your letters you’re going to get SERIOUS interest from qualified prospects.
The reason why most advertising today fails is because there’s just NOT enough trust.
Lastly, once your messaging is validated you need to start scaling your Lead Flow on FB using a custom targeting framework… I’ll show you how to scale to up to
50 hot sales meetings per day.
Shortly in this post I’ll talk about: - Precise, Laser sharp, high-intent customer targeting
- CBOs with hyper targeted Ad sets
Ads are easy. Getting the right offer & message in front of your ideal clients should be your main focus.
And now, for the targeting method…
HERE’S THE SECRET CUSTOM TARGETING METHOD FOR 50+ SALES MEETINGS PER WEEK USING FACEBOOK ADS… I will go a bit more detailed here just on the Facebook side of things.
In my previous posts I’ve written about how to create & position your offer… I’ve also written a lot about copy & messaging, how to use that to bring your offer to life etc. etc.
Once you have those fundamentals in place, you really need to focus on buying Ads on Facebook properly.
**TARGETING*\*
Now let’s talk about your targeting. How to target your IDEAL customers on Facebook?
Targeting has been a huge issue for advertisers for a very very long time…
Facebook’s greatest asset used to be it’s ease of laser targeting your prospects..
Unfortunately, this didn’t sit well with the FTC and ever since the Cambridge Analytica scandal FB’s targeting capabilities have been on a downward trend.
They started removing Targeting options by the thousands every single day… then they got rid of “Audience Insights” which used to be a great tool to do market research to target your ideal prospects…
AND to finally make matters worse, Apple updated their privacy policy and ever since they did that, the pixel broke. Which means the pixel doesn’t do any of the heavy lifting like it used to before.
SO WHAT DO YOU DO? You need to understand how targeting works on FB today…
Most people who will tell you to go broad are only advertising mass market goods like fashion accessories and clothing etc.
But what do you do when you have a SPECIFIC B2B business? Can you go broad?
Absolutely NOT!
WELCOME TO HIGH INTENT TARGETING You need to use targeting, but interest targeting alone will not work… there is
another type of targeting that not many ppl know of.
It’s called Advanced custom targeting based on High-Intent… and this is possible on Facebook too (not just Google)… but you need to know how to use code, and you’ll need FB Developer tools and you’ll need to know how to use the API to send a 2-way sync between your code and FB audiences.
FB still has large data sets that are untapped…
(and inaccessible via interest targeting)… There is a way to scrape members from within FB pages and FB Friends lists.. and create custom audience CSV files…
You then run those custom CSV lists through a software like Sniper Leads - and it will fetch you
EMAILS & PHONES of those users, you export that to another CSV file…
Now you’ll have a MASTER CSV list of names, phones & emails of your TARGETED high intent prospects
(considering you’ve scraped the right profiles) on Facebook…
Through a software like that it will easily match
90-95% of those users… as the software will ONLY scrape public data sets from FB.
So when you upload this CSV file to your Ad account audience you will now have almost a 100% match rate.
Here’s how I do it: 1) Depending on the niche I’m targeting I will make a massive list of minimum 100k user profiles. 2) Now I have a massive CSV file of 100k+ prospects. 3) You run it through a software like Sniper Leads and it will grab at least 80-90% emails & phones. 4) If I’m not satisfied with the result I just repeat the process and add more profiles. 5) Ultimately I am aiming for 100k-200k contacts in CSV list with FB detected emails & phones. 6) You then export this list from the software. 7) Now upload it to your Ad account audiences and you should get a 95-100% match rate. 8) So now you have a TARGETED list of 100k-200k contacts in your audiences that you can target. 9) Next, I create a 1-2% lookalike audience of this highly targeted list. 10) Now we have a PRIME audience to target with our Ads.
Targeting is the MOST important aspect that everybody overlooks.
If you’re just stacking your targeting with multiple interests you’re not going to get great results…
I mean you’ll get leads, but they won’t convert very well…
Also your cost per lead & cost per acquisition will be very high.
You need to make sure your targeting is on point.. and for this you can easily use a software like Sniper OR you can just create one yourself…
If you know how to write some code, it’s not very difficult to create a scraping software like this and you’ll be up and running in under 7 days with your new tool.
FACEBOOK ADS Once you have your targeting set… and you’ve got a great offer, great copy, great ads etc…
The FB setup itself is very easy… I’ve written a lot on my
1 CBO, 1 Ad Set and 1 Creative system many times before..
Here you’ll see
how 1 CBO brings 200+ leads per month! Good luck!

2023.05.31 15:08 Dismal-Jellyfish Why we should expect a rate hike in June: A review of what Fed officials have said and what incoming data is saying.
| Good morning Superstonk! Jellyfish back with you to review what folks from the Fed have been saying and to pair it with data to show that we are likely to see a rate hike in June. Let's get to it! First, this all 'starts' back with the last announcement 5/3. 5/3/23 Federal Reserve issues FOMC decided to raise the target range for the federal funds rate to 5 to 5-1/4 percent: Economic activity expanded at a modest pace in the first quarter. Job gains have been robust in recent months, and the unemployment rate has remained low. Inflation remains elevated. The U.S. banking system is sound and resilient. Tighter credit conditions for households and businesses are likely to weigh on economic activity, hiring, and inflation. The extent of these effects remains uncertain. The Committee remains highly attentive to inflation risks. The Committee seeks to achieve maximum employment and inflation at the rate of 2 percent over the longer run. In support of these goals, the Committee decided to raise the target range for the federal funds rate to 5 to 5-1/4 percent. The Committee will closely monitor incoming information and assess the implications for monetary policy. In determining the extent to which additional policy firming may be appropriate to return inflation to 2 percent over time, the Committee will take into account the cumulative tightening of monetary policy, the lags with which monetary policy affects economic activity and inflation, and economic and financial developments. In addition, the Committee will continue reducing its holdings of Treasury securities and agency debt and agency mortgage-backed securities, as described in its previously announced plans. The Committee is strongly committed to returning inflation to its 2 percent objective. In assessing the appropriate stance of monetary policy, the Committee will continue to monitor the implications of incoming information for the economic outlook. The Committee would be prepared to adjust the stance of monetary policy as appropriate if risks emerge that could impede the attainment of the Committee's goals. The Committee's assessments will take into account a wide range of information, including readings on labor market conditions, inflation pressures and inflation expectations, and financial and international developments. Voting for the monetary policy action were Jerome H. Powell, Chair; John C. Williams, Vice Chair; Michael S. Barr; Michelle W. Bowman; Lisa D. Cook; Austan D. Goolsbee; Patrick Harker; Philip N. Jefferson; Neel Kashkari; Lorie K. Logan; and Christopher J. Waller. Since the announcement, Fed Governors have gone on to say: https://preview.redd.it/s8wh3su2h43b1.png?width=608&format=png&auto=webp&s=a22d5f67a5e9ddeddc36af6e022bd72eb786fd1f 1:44: "I am certainly getting vibes… that a credit crunch or credit squeeze is beginning’. "I think you have to say recession is a possibility" "That has to be on everyone's mind" 5:37 "The total hours worked by everyone in the economy, not just the number of jobs, and you have seen that the total hours worked has not been as robustly growing as the job numbers would suggest." 6:10 The job market and the credit conditions those are the two main things we want to be looking at besides of course the prices themselves. https://preview.redd.it/cbqieuyfh43b1.png?width=607&format=png&auto=webp&s=7d66d5c0587080f29a0a6667b46a4f4e031115b6 - "The Federal Reserve is committed to bringing inflation down. As the Mandalorian would say, "Price stability."
- "The FOMC is mandated by Congress to promote maximum employment and price stability. The goals of our dual mandate are intrinsically linked."
- "Specifically, price stability is essential for the economy to reach its full potential and to sustain maximum employment over the long term."
- "Last June, inflation spiked to a 40-year high of 7 percent, as measured by the personal consumption expenditures (PCE) price index. Since then, inflation has moderated to 4.2 percent, in large part due to a decline in energy prices. That's much better than 7 percent, but still more than double our longer-run goal of 2 percent."
- "But the most persistent area of inflation is in core services excluding housing, which has been running around 4-1/2 percent since last August . This is driven by a continued imbalance in overall supply and demand, and it will take the longest to bring down."
- "I expect inflation to decline to around 3-1/4 percent this year, before returning to our longer-run goal of 2 percent over the next two years."
- "As tighter monetary policy continues to take effect, I expect real GDP to grow modestly this year, with growth then picking up somewhat next year."
- "And I anticipate slow growth will continue to cool the labor market, with unemployment gradually rising to about 4 to 4-1/2 percent over the next year."
https://preview.redd.it/idntmsazi43b1.png?width=611&format=png&auto=webp&s=0b93a212c8c65d884deabd4880b507caba330dd6 - "In my view, our policy stance is now restrictive, but whether it is sufficiently restrictive to bring inflation down remains uncertain."
- "In my view, the most recent CPI and employment reports have not provided consistent evidence that inflation is on a downward path, and I will continue to closely monitor the incoming data as I consider the appropriate stance of monetary policy going into our June meeting."
- "In response to the recent bank failures, it is tempting to engage in a wholesale revision of the bank regulatory framework. Before changing rules, we need to take a critical look at actual weaknesses, and acknowledge the strengths that should be preserved."
- "Accountability is critical for both the bank and for supervisors. Where regulators have failed in supervision, we must hold ourselves accountable."
- "Calls for radical reform of the bank regulatory framework—as opposed to targeted changes to address identified root causes of banking system stress—are incompatible with the fundamental strength of the banking system."
https://preview.redd.it/3wmfwvy9j43b1.png?width=607&format=png&auto=webp&s=113cd08168cb835a0ffdf97fc46b5ac64fa43896 - "Current inflation is still high."
- "Personal consumption expenditures (PCE) inflation, the black line, stands at 4.2 percent, and core PCE inflation, the red line, stands at 4.6 percent for year-end March 2023."
- "Overall, news on inflation so far this year has been mixed."
- "The good news is that food and energy prices both fell in March, and total PCE inflation slowed to 4.2 percent from 5 percent in February."
- "Since peaking last June, inflation has declined about 2.75 percentage points—with nearly all the step-down explained by falling energy prices and slowing food prices."
- "The bad news is that there has been little progress on core inflation."
- "Core goods inflation, the red line in the image above has come down since its peak of 7.6 percent in February 2022, but the most recent news has been discouraging."
- "Outside of used motor vehicle prices, which fell unexpectedly in March, disinflation in core goods prices is occurring at a slower pace than expected."
- "Supply and demand imbalances in the goods sector seem to be resolving less quickly than expected."
- "Core housing services inflation, the black line in the image above, surged over the past couple of years as demand in the housing sector underwent a major shift during the pandemic."
- "The latest monthly readings have started to slow, though that is not yet evident in the 12-month changes shown in the image above."
- "The recent slowing was presaged by a flattening out of rents on new leases to new tenants since the middle of last year."
- "In contrast, core services excluding housing inflation, the blue dashed line in the image above, has not shown much sign of slowing."
https://preview.redd.it/3xn5hu67k43b1.png?width=791&format=png&auto=webp&s=4d665744f5217f20a4ba1fcc980178e345732ace “I do want to learn more about what’s happening with all these lagged effects. But I also want to reduce inflation,” “And if more increases are what’s necessary to do that I’m comfortable doing that.” I am guided by the dual mandate assigned to the Federal Reserve by the U.S. Congress: price stability and maximum employment. On the one hand, inflation is too high, and we have not yet made sufficient progress on reducing it. On the other hand, GDP has slowed considerably this year, and even though the effect has been muted in the labor market so far, demand clearly has begun to feel the effects of interest rates that are 5 percentage points higher than they were a little over a year ago. History shows that monetary policy works with long and variable lags, and that a year is not a long enough period for demand to feel the full effect of higher interest rates. - backs two more hikes.
- Bullard would have central bank push interest rates up to 5.5%-5.75% range
"Inflation Is Stubbornly High" "Almost no progress." "The news on core inflation was similar." "I do not support stopping rate hikes unless we get clear evidence that inflation is moving down towards our 2 percent objective." What the Data is saying? Inflation is Re-accelerating!!!: On rent (remember, rent prices account for the largest proportion of CPI and PCE), the median asking rent was $1,734, up by $4 from last month and down by $43 from the peak but still $348 (25.1%) higher than the same time in 2019 (pre-pandemic): So much for rents flattening, right Jefferson? Zillow data backs this up. Zillow's observable rent index (asking rents advertised by landlords) https://www.zillow.com/research/april-2023-rent-report-32595/ Asking rents climbed by $12, or 0.6%, from March to April, according to the latest edition of the Zillow Observed Rent Index (ZORI). That brings the index to $2,018, for a cumulative 1.3% increase since its recent low point in January, at $1,991. The 0.6% monthly increase is slightly smaller than the typical April increase of 0.7%, averaged over data from 2016 to 2019, suggesting that today’s growth is still driven mainly by seasonal factors, and that overall leasing conditions are still somewhat cool for this time of year. Typical asking rents at the national level now stand at $2,018, which is 5.3% higher than one year ago, and 0.5% higher than the peak of $2,008 observed in September 2022. That annual growth rate is now down almost 12 percentage points from the peak growth rate of 16.9%, the record-high pace reached in February 2022. - 'Typical rent' is the highest ever at $2018 per month
- April is the biggest month-to-month increase since August and still appears to be growing
- Annualized, April's rate of increase would be 7.4%
For the Fed governor's above 'looking to see the data', the biggest component of CPI and PCE inflation is still raging from inflation. https://i.redd.it/7voy6brl873b1.gif The core PCE price index (excludes food and energy and is the Fed's favorite inflation index and the one they base policy after) re-accelerated in April as well. According to the Bureau of Economic Analysis, on a year-over-year basis, the core PCE price index jumped by 4.7%, same as in July 2022, and up from a 4.6% increase in March Please note, the (shittly drawn) RED line below is the Fed's stated 2% goal for inflation: https://fred.stlouisfed.org/series/PCEPILFE For almost a year now it has been stuck around 5%! On a month-to-month basis it is not slowing down either: https://fred.stlouisfed.org/series/PCEPILFE Again, services are where nearly 2/3 of consumer spending goes and it is still growing, 8.4% on a year-to-year basis: https://fred.stlouisfed.org/series/PCES#0 Again, jumping month-to-month: https://preview.redd.it/8mt9nhfld73b1.png?width=1812&format=png&auto=webp&s=e78a92915ac9576671b933f7c2417d2a770cb650 Another view of it all from the NY Fed: https://preview.redd.it/b8rbfcygf73b1.png?width=1091&format=png&auto=webp&s=6f9cf6179a42bab945e081786322160057d39dae Okay, so it is pretty darn clear that inflation is not tamed and rates need to go higher. Does the labor market and broader economy (as measured vid GDP) data 'support'? (I use this term VERY loosely, more to show that these areas can take on the pain of additional rate hikes) Yes... https://preview.redd.it/g6pnfsiie73b1.png?width=1086&format=png&auto=webp&s=e0bbfbc82869fe5072417fa6c7fbafff12d441b1 Employment is still strong and wages are 'elevated' higher than Jefferson is comfortable with as indicated above (can't have raises above 2% now, can we?)... The revised GDP is another reason for Jefferson called out above to agree to a rate hike I have to imagine it was powered by this RECORD spending by consumers! https://preview.redd.it/m23aczszi73b1.png?width=1815&format=png&auto=webp&s=b02913c61909fd2972245c161eb4db1eed313fee It looks like a LOT of this spending has gone on credit cards for consumers: From 1st quarter 2022 to 1st quarter 2023, total household debt has increased $1,205 billion to $17.05 trillion (+7.57%)--Mortgage balances ($864 billion), HELOC ($22 billion), Student loans ($14 billion), Auto loans ($93 billion), Credit Card debt ($145 billion), Other ($67 billion). When will inflation end? In my opinion, it will not be unless and until the Fed get the Federal Funds rate at and ABOVE Core CPI and as we can see, they still have work to do: Once the Fed can get this 'narrower ban' of goods and services in control, the rest of core PCE should follow. TLDRS: - Fed Governors say they will consider more rate hikes based on data
- Review of data shows the job is not done
- Expect a June rate hike
- How does this relate to GameStop?
- The broader economy is seeing regional banks blow up at these rates, what sort of stress will higher rates cause in the banking system with those trying to maintain their short positions for another day?

Smith-Morra Gambit
White offers a pawn for quicker development. Sometimes white puts in the move 2. Nf3 and decides by the reaction of black whether to enter the gambit.
Most popular responses
- 2...cxd4 (Smith-Morra Gambit) The gambit actually is offered by the next move 3. c3. Taking back with 3. Qxd4?! really isn't a promising option, since the queen will be pushed around, while black makes developing moves like Nc6. (Lichess analysis) (Wikibooks) (29594148 games)

2023.05.31 10:50 BruteSentiment Daily Minors Quick-Notes 5/30/23 - Keaton Winn leads Sacramento to a Win
| It was a mixed day (or two) for the Giants farm, but Keaton Winn helped lead Sacramento’s pitching staff for one of its best days of the season. Plus, two big hitters had 0-for-2 days but still were getting on base. AAA: Sacramento 4, Tacoma 1 Link https://preview.redd.it/p7iw5vi9963b1.jpg?width=2496&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=1a8afc7ab806bde1a5ae7c3585ff4ae7e178f1f2 Sacramento Notes: - Sacramento led wire-to-wire in this game, and the pitching staff led the way. Led by Keaton Winn with his best game of the year, Sacramento held Tacoma scoreless until the 9th inning. They took the lead in the first with a bases-loaded walk to Ford Proctor, and then really put in some space with a 2-run Ricardo Genovés double in the 5th.
- Winn went 4.0 scoreless innings, allowing just a season-low one hit and one walk, striking out four. It’s the third start Winn has had without allowing any runs. With this game, Winn has 45 strikeouts to1 9 walks in 37.1 innings this season.
- Reliever Chris Wright went 1.1 scoreless innings in relief, allowing just one hit and no walks. Wright has been doing better at limiting hits, and at a .264 batting average allowed, it’s the lowest it’s been since April 24th, after which it spiked to .385.
- Luis Matos led the team in hitting, going 3-for-5. Matos now has three 3-hit games over the last ten, although his batting average has dropped from .357 to .340 over that span. He now has three doubles and two triples over 12 games in Triple-A.
https://twitter.com/RiverCats/status/1663735822389248000?s=20 - DH Colton Welker went 2-for-5, with two stolen bases. The steals are his first of the season, and actually his first since 2019 (He’s played 72 games from 2021 through 2023). Welker has a batting line of .292/.410/.344 on the season, with 20 walks to 21 strikeouts.
- Will Wilson was 2-for-4 with a double. It’s his eighth double of the season, to go along with six home runs. He has a batting line of .213/.288/.367 after 51 games, with 18 walks to 51 strikeouts.
- Shortstop Tyler Fitzgerald went 2-for-5 with a stolen base. He now has hits in 12 of the last 13 games, going 18-for-52 (.346) with four doubles, a triple, and three home runs over that run. He’s got a batting line of .309/.385/.544 at Triple-A.
- Catcher Ricardo Genovés went 1-for-4 with the 2-run double, his sixth of the season, and got caught stealing on his first steal attempt of the season (and since 2021). He has a batting line of .268/.368/.392 over 32 games this season.
https://twitter.com/RiverCats/status/1663731404788596738?s=20 - The Squirrels will soon get a new player, as Jimmy Glowenke has gotten the call up to Richmond. Glowenke earned it after going .313/.413/.542 in 26 games at Eugene, playing all over the infield.
AA: Erie 11, Richmond 1 Link https://preview.redd.it/odooxoea963b1.jpg?width=2496&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=15e44dbdb3c279e9c5bd801fda44093b07535e98 Richmond Notes: - Yeah…this game was just a mess. Erie beat up starter Ryan Murphy and reliever Wil Jensen to the tune of ten runs over the first four innings. Meanwhile, Richmond managed just two hits (but also six walks) on the day, though one was a home run, so it wasn’t a shutout.
- Left fielder Carter Williams had the only big hit of the day, hitting his 5th home run with Richmond on a 1-for-3 day. Over 28 games in Richmond, Williams has a .231/.290/.407 line over 28 games, with five home runs and a double, and Williams also had one home run in three games with Eugene.
https://twitter.com/GoSquirrels/status/1663702151846064130?s=20 - The other hit came off the bat of Riley Mahan, who was 1-for-4. Mahan is 5-for-13 with a double over his last three games, raising his batting average from .190 to .209.
- Vaun Brown was actually the only Squirrel to get on base multiple times, going 0-for-2 with two walks to one strikeout. In seven games at Richmond, he now has 12 strikeouts to four walks, with a .308 batting average.
- It was another rough game for Murphy, who gave up six runs, five earned, on six hits and a walk with 3.1 innings, with just two strikeouts. Murphy is giving up hits to the tune of .309, and has a 6.15 ERA with 31 strikeouts to 19 walks in 33.2 innings.
High-A: Vancouver 4, Eugene 2 Link https://preview.redd.it/uw0gvd7b963b1.jpg?width=2496&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=c4d666558eefec221b265d4d1d18ffe9d9b65d6d Eugene Notes: - This game started off well, with Eugene scoring two runs in the first innings off a double steal with an error, and an Adrian Sugastey RBI single. But the offense stalled from there, as Vancouver knocked in four runs, three on a big home run in the 4th.
- The big day belonged to Ghordy Santos, who reached back to the Mendoza Line by going 3-for-4 with a double and getting to .200. It’s the first 3-hit game of the season for Santos, who is batting .245 in May.
- Making his High-A debut was Carter Howell, playing left field. He got a single in his first High-A at-bat, picked up his first High-A steal in the double steal that led to McCray scoring, and would score his first High-A run on an Adrian Sugastey single. The undrafted free agent hit .337/.398/.500 over 39 games with San Jose to earn his promotion.
- Grant McCray went 0-for-2 with two walks, with a steal, his 21st of the season. With the walks, he now has 27 to 65 strikeouts in 44 games this season, raising his on-base percentage to .343.
- Starting pitcher Matt Mikulski gave up four runs, three earned, in 3.0 innings, allowing three hits, a walk, and two HBP, while striking out three. It’s been a very difficult May for Mikulski, who has a 9.42 over five games this month, with 20 strikeouts to 13 walks in 14.1 innings.
- In relief, Ben Madison had another strong game, allowing just a walk in 3.0 innings, while striking out three. That gives him 40 strikeouts to 16 walks in 24.0 innings, and has allowed just 11 hits on the season, for a .133 average allowed even despite a 4.13 ERA.
Low-A: San Jose 4, Fresno 3 (10 innings, from Monday) Link https://preview.redd.it/u6hf22vb963b1.jpg?width=2496&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=a971f86f9ecc26232888fa8a3b456b206dae17cd San Jose Notes: - San Jose fought off a big comeback from Fresno to pick up this win late. Dilan Rosario knocked in all the San Jose’s regulation runs, with an RBI single in the 2nd, and a 2-run single in the 4th. But Fresno came back with three runs in the 6th inning to tie it up. But San Jose would end it in the 10th, with an Onil Perez RBI single.
https://twitter.com/SJGiants/status/1663318979539251200?s=20 - Thomas Gavello was at catcher, and went 2-for-4 with a double, the only San Jose extra-base hit. Gavello now has seven doubles to go with a triple and seven home runs on 34 games. He has a batting line of .273/.426/.521, with 16 walks to 45 strikeouts.
- Left fielder Tanner O’Tremba went 2-for-4, playing left field, and got caught stealing. O’Tremba has gone 6-for-15 (.400) over his last four games with two triples, and now has been caught stealing once, but has six steals on seven attempts.
- Dilan Rosario was 2-for-4 with a pair of singles, with three RBI. In 15 games with San Jose, Rosario has a .220/.316/.240 batting line with a double, the double being his only extra-base hit of the season so far.
https://twitter.com/SJGiants/status/1663291499759685632?s=20 - Hayden Wynja had his best start and appearance of the season, going 4.0 innings, allowing only a walk with four strikeouts. It was his longest appearances of the season, and the first time he hadn’t allowed any hits in more than an inning of work. Wynja has 37 strikeouts to 11 walks in 26.0 innings.
- Reliever Tyler Vogel went 2.0 innings, giving up just a walk with three strikeouts. Vogel has 28 strikeouts to 15 walks in 20.2 innings, and has a 3.92 ERA, and is holding opposing batters to a .167 average.
As a final note...I put together some thoughts and some photos from my week in Eugene for you all to read, and I posted it to Reddit here. But, I also posted it, with a lot more photos, at my regular site here if you're interested. Thanks, as always, for reading! submitted by BruteSentiment to SFGiants [link] [comments] |

2023.05.31 06:48 Contactunderground Sinéad Whelehan was interviewed on Jeff Mara’s Podcast. Sinéad Whelehan’s story reveals not only the power of contact to transform a person’s world view but also provides a dramatic example of how UFO intelligences manipulate spacetime thereby staging High Strangeness events. Joseph Burkes MD 2023
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JzxwHWZZGhA&t=1458s Introduction Sinéad Whelehan is a contact activist that I met in November of 2021 when she produced an online video interview with me for the
“Beyond Being Human” website. At that time, she had been working with researcheauthor Grant Cameron for two years gaining experience as a researcher and interviewer. According to her brief bio on the “Beyond Being Human” webpage Sinéad is a lifelong experiencer of multiple forms of paranormal high strangeness “as well as being a lifelong spiritual practitioner.”
I subscribe to Jeff Mara’s Podcast and when I saw her picture appear as a guest on his YouTube channel, I wanted to hear what she had to say. My curiosity was piqued when I read the provocative title of the program “
Alien Stands Next To Her AT CE-5 Event - ALIEN PHOTO.” The event that she described reminded me of an encounter that I had one night in the Santa Monica Mountains in 1993.
High Strangeness in Malibu Canyon For six years back in the 1990s, I was a contact team leader for the CE-5 Initiative. Our group staged repeated Human Initiated Contact Events (HICE) in Southern California. During one outing the team was operating high up overlooking Malibu Canyon. While in deep meditation, I felt a strong pleasant pressure sensation in the middle of my chest. In retrospect, I imagine that my heart chakra was opening wide, because I was filled with a powerful peaceful loving feeling. After the meditation was over, my teammate, United Airlines Captain Joe Vallejo, told me the following:
He stated that at one point during the meditation he had slightly opened his eyes. There, standing directly in front of me, was a small “boxy” non-human being. Its rectangular form was only about two feet high, and it stood motionlessly less than twelve inches away from me. He reported that when he opened his eyes wide to get a better look, the rectangular form disappeared.
Sinéad ’s Photograph Obtained During Volunteer Contact Work During the last 20 minutes of Jeff Mara’s interview Sinéad showed the photograph mentioned in the title of the program. The digital picture was taken during an Illinois CE-5 nighttime outing in 2021. According to Sinéad, it was light blasted to bring out the details not easily seen because the picture was taken at night.
Aside from the light blasting, no other alterations of the photograph was reportedly made. Sinéad gives her description of the photograph during the interview as follows:
Sinéad Whelehan: This is a random photograph that was taken by a woman I didn't know, who was in the circle. Now you're seeing the very edge of the meditation circle…. Grant Cameron… was there with me…. So, my chair is on the other side of Grant.….
And there's a little being right there. And here's the bright light coming out of my chest with these kinds of tendrils of light as well… And then here's a really super-duper close-up version of the little being…
Jeff Mara: Would you say that that being is standing right next to your chair?
Sinéad Whelehan: Yes, yeah and I felt it there, you know, even during that experience… I was feeling them to my left … You can see where my body is… and here's the little being’s shoulder and there's the neck, it's head… the eye.. and there are other beings in the photograph as well.
Understandably because of the photograph that Sinéad presented, there has been considerable public interest in this Jeff Mara podcast. In just a few weeks, over 60,000 views of this interview have been tallied. In my opinion, however, Sinéad Whelehan’s personal story as described in this in-depth interview is of even greater significance than the photographic evidence she obtained. Sinéad’s journey into contact has involved her overcoming many personal challenges. Perhaps the most important one is the fact that she is nearly totally deaf and has required two major surgeries for cochlear implants.
The Making of a Contact Activist In July of 2019, Sinéad experienced what she describes as a “massive awakening.” She explained the term “awakening” might not be the best term to use because for decades she previously had engaged in spiritual practices like meditation and yoga. Nonetheless, what happened to her in 2019 was likened to “being bonged on the head with the cosmic frying pan…” It happened as she was recovering from her second cochlear implant.
Sinéad suddenly sensed an overwhelmingly powerful presence in her room of multiple non-human entities who communicated with her telepathically. According to Sinéad, the beings were saying, “OK. It’s time! We’ve been with you all along. It’s now time. You have a job to do!!” And her mission was to spread the word that every one of us are cosmic beings. And we need to recognize our long-standing relationship with “the extraterrestrials.” This new sense of duty, however, was not without a downside.
For two decades Sinéad had a very responsible position as a public-school teacher in Canada. She worked in special education for elementary and high school students. Her profession gave her an opportunity to work with children, something she has always loved doing. In addition, her position provided her with a good income, job security and benefits. She found herself in a dilemma, how could she change her life in ways that were consistent with the radical paradigm shift that she was undergoing?
In the following section of this report Sinéad Whelehan reveals one of the most astounding contact events that I have ever come across. In my judgment, this vignette is an example of how UFO intelligences can manipulate spacetime. Sinéad describes her difficult personal situation and how her request for validation led to an astounding High Strangeness Event. (The following transcript has been edited by me for readability.)
“It's that feeling that experiencers often talk about. I just knew that it was ETs. I knew what they were telling me was real. And believe me, I had moments of doubting myself. Then, I would ask them for validation, and they would give me ridiculous validation that was absolutely undeniable.
An example is that I’m a teacher. This happened in the summer (of 2019). I had my “awakening” in July and about two weeks after the “big cosmic frying pan experience” happened. I had already been hired months before to mark government literacy tests. There are these booklets that are sent out to kids all over the country. In Canada they were sent out to kids in grade 6 to test their math and their literacy (skills).
So, I was hired to mark these booklets and score them. (This project was) to track the data for kids all over the country in terms of their literacy levels. This job was done in a massive warehouse. And there I was with all these tired teachers, you know, trudging in with big jugs of coffee. They were chugging down their coffee through the day and marking these booklets. It was just such dry work and in this big, huge empty warehouse. And, you know, we got cattle called back after breaks. It felt like such a massive juxtaposition to the vibration that I had experienced(with the ETs) just a short while before that I started to feel like,” Oh my God, I have gone crazy.”…
So, I started getting worried about myself. I went home one day… and I was very upset. I just started talking to them (the ETs) out loud. I'm not someone who grew up religious… I never prayed in my life, but I just started talking to them. I was sitting on the floor of my living room crying a little bit, really, really distressed, and stressed out. (I was) wondering if I was mentally well.) I asked them, if this (the continuous presence of ET beings in her life) is really true, “I need you to prove it to me. I need you to prove it to me in a way that is absolutely undeniable and unmistakable….”
So, then I felt this very warm soothing presence around me, and I relaxed. I felt better and I went to bed. Woke up the next day, drove to work. It started as usual… (What) we're supposed to do is just walk up to the front of the room where there's this massive floor to ceiling shelf. I grab a random stack of booklets, bring them back to our desk and start marking them… We're supposed to mark exactly the same question over and over again. So, each (student)answers the question differently. They are 10-11 years old. They're in grade 6 (and) supposed to be writing about “the Day I Became Famous.” It’s a creative writing challenge for them.
Astounding High Strangeness Event On that day, for 45 minutes, from 9:00 o'clock until 9:45 every single booklet I opened had compositions about, ET 's, UFOs, flying cars, free energy, portals, “the earth is alive”, “the Galaxy is full of other beings” (What) I was reading … has nothing to do with the original prompt “The Day I Became Famous. Nothing to do with it! Here are these kids writing in pencil in 10- to 11-year-old child’s writing, “there’s a portal in my bedroom”, “I designed time travel”, “I made a time machine”, “the earth is alive and conscious; she knows what we're all doing to her”. “there are spaceships out there.” I mean I just couldn't believe it. I could not believe It!
We were not allowed to take breaks that early in the morning, but I just said I have to… I went to the washroom. I texted a bunch of friends of mine who I had met by that point in the community because immediately after my awakening I just started reaching out to people for help. I needed to understand what was going on. I connected with the lovely Kosta Makreas (who was recently interviewed on the Jeff Mara Podcast). Kosta was immediately there for me, to support me. I texted him and a couple of other people he had introduced me to… “I need you to tell me if this is real. Did this really just happen?” Meanwhile the hairs on the skin of my arms are standing straight up.
(There I am) in a stall in the bathroom furiously typing. They all wrote me back and said, “Yep this is what happens.” You know, this is exactly it! I mean how can you deny that is validation! Not to mention, when I came back from the bathroom, the rest of the booklets that were on my desk, I think there were three or four left, none of them had anything to do with it (the flying saucer themes). It was all back to the question (and for the rest of the day it was the original composition prompt question) “How I Became Famous” (The answers were what one might expect from 6th graders, things like) “because of YouTube.”
Discussion: How were the non-human intelligences that contacted Sinéad able to stage such an extremely strange sequence of events? She asked for a clear sign that her contacts and communications were real and not the result of her being mentally imbalanced. The very next day the compositions written by 6th graders deviated from the assignment. Instead of writing “The Day I Became Famous”, they wrote about numerous themes associated with “ET contact.”
For two decades I have promoted what I call the Virtual Experience Model for flying saucer investigations. This theory outlines what I believe are illusory mechanisms of contact employed by UFO intelligences during interactions with people targeted for encounters. According to this proposed model, a Virtual Experience of the Third Kind (VE-3) is a false memory inserted into the consciousness of a contact experiencers by flying saucer intelligences. These “thought forms” might be so skillfully done that the false memories convince the experiencer that they represent recollections of actual events. Could Sinéad ’s recollection of this “high strangeness” be a false memory, a VE-3?
This is not a reasonable explanation because immediately after being confronted with the High Strangeness of children writing about what are called “anomalous phenomena”, she texted fellow contact activist Kosta Makreas. I spoke to him the day after I viewed the interview. Kosta recalled receiving the message from Sinéad and reassuring her with a reply akin to “Yep this is what happens.”
For decades, renowned UFO researcher Dr. Jacques Vallee has pointed out that the intelligences responsible for UFOs appear to be able to manipulate spacetime. In my opinion, a consensus is beginning to emerge among contact experiencers as well as UFO investigators that the High Strangeness events associated with UFOs are showing us that materialist science’s explanations as to the nature of reality are at best incomplete. If consciousness, and not mass/energy is the wellspring of creation, then the fundamental assumptions of academic mainstream science are plainly wrong.
Conclusion If consciousness is primary, then perhaps our 4-D reality of spacetime is a kind of projection from some more fundamental realm that is pure consciousness. There has been much speculation in scientific circles that the Cosmos, and everything in it, is part of some simulation created by advanced intelligences. If this is true, then the alleged ETs might be able to enter our “reality” at will and alter the simulation, thereby staging the “inexplicable” events that we label “High Strangeness.” Sinéad ’s encountering a stack of “anomalous” handwritten 6th grade compositions could very well be an example of a personal simulation being altered by her “friends in high places.”

2023.05.31 06:45 Contactunderground Sinéad Whelehan was interviewed on Jeff Mara’s Podcast. Sinéad Whelehan’s story reveals not only the power of contact to transform a person’s world view but also provides a dramatic example of how UFO intelligences manipulate spacetime thereby staging High Strangeness events. Joseph Burkes MD 2023
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JzxwHWZZGhA&t=1458s Introduction Sinéad Whelehan is a contact activist that I met in November of 2021 when she produced an online video interview with me for the
“Beyond Being Human” website. At that time, she had been working with researcheauthor Grant Cameron for two years gaining experience as a researcher and interviewer. According to her brief bio on the “Beyond Being Human” webpage Sinéad is a lifelong experiencer of multiple forms of paranormal high strangeness “as well as being a lifelong spiritual practitioner.”
I subscribe to Jeff Mara’s Podcast and when I saw her picture appear as a guest on his YouTube channel, I wanted to hear what she had to say. My curiosity was piqued when I read the provocative title of the program “
Alien Stands Next To Her AT CE-5 Event - ALIEN PHOTO.” The event that she described reminded me of an encounter that I had one night in the Santa Monica Mountains in 1993.
High Strangeness in Malibu Canyon For six years back in the 1990s, I was a contact team leader for the CE-5 Initiative. Our group staged repeated Human Initiated Contact Events (HICE) in Southern California. During one outing the team was operating high up overlooking Malibu Canyon. While in deep meditation, I felt a strong pleasant pressure sensation in the middle of my chest. In retrospect, I imagine that my heart chakra was opening wide, because I was filled with a powerful peaceful loving feeling. After the meditation was over, my teammate, United Airlines Captain Joe Vallejo, told me the following:
He stated that at one point during the meditation he had slightly opened his eyes. There, standing directly in front of me, was a small “boxy” non-human being. Its rectangular form was only about two feet high, and it stood motionlessly less than twelve inches away from me. He reported that when he opened his eyes wide to get a better look, the rectangular form disappeared.
Sinéad ’s Photograph Obtained During Volunteer Contact Work During the last 20 minutes of Jeff Mara’s interview Sinéad showed the photograph mentioned in the title of the program. The digital picture was taken during an Illinois CE-5 nighttime outing in 2021. According to Sinéad, it was light blasted to bring out the details not easily seen because the picture was taken at night.
Aside from the light blasting, no other alterations of the photograph was reportedly made. Sinéad gives her description of the photograph during the interview as follows:
Sinéad Whelehan: This is a random photograph that was taken by a woman I didn't know, who was in the circle. Now you're seeing the very edge of the meditation circle…. Grant Cameron… was there with me…. So, my chair is on the other side of Grant.….
And there's a little being right there. And here's the bright light coming out of my chest with these kinds of tendrils of light as well… And then here's a really super-duper close-up version of the little being…
Jeff Mara: Would you say that that being is standing right next to your chair?
Sinéad Whelehan: Yes, yeah and I felt it there, you know, even during that experience… I was feeling them to my left … You can see where my body is… and here's the little being’s shoulder and there's the neck, it's head… the eye.. and there are other beings in the photograph as well.
Understandably because of the photograph that Sinéad presented, there has been considerable public interest in this Jeff Mara podcast. In just a few weeks, over 60,000 views of this interview have been tallied. In my opinion, however, Sinéad Whelehan’s personal story as described in this in-depth interview is of even greater significance than the photographic evidence she obtained. Sinéad’s journey into contact has involved her overcoming many personal challenges. Perhaps the most important one is the fact that she is nearly totally deaf and has required two major surgeries for cochlear implants.
The Making of a Contact Activist In July of 2019, Sinéad experienced what she describes as a “massive awakening.” She explained the term “awakening” might not be the best term to use because for decades she previously had engaged in spiritual practices like meditation and yoga. Nonetheless, what happened to her in 2019 was likened to “being bonged on the head with the cosmic frying pan…” It happened as she was recovering from her second cochlear implant.
Sinéad suddenly sensed an overwhelmingly powerful presence in her room of multiple non-human entities who communicated with her telepathically. According to Sinéad, the beings were saying, “OK. It’s time! We’ve been with you all along. It’s now time. You have a job to do!!” And her mission was to spread the word that every one of us are cosmic beings. And we need to recognize our long-standing relationship with “the extraterrestrials.” This new sense of duty, however, was not without a downside.
For two decades Sinéad had a very responsible position as a public-school teacher in Canada. She worked in special education for elementary and high school students. Her profession gave her an opportunity to work with children, something she has always loved doing. In addition, her position provided her with a good income, job security and benefits. She found herself in a dilemma, how could she change her life in ways that were consistent with the radical paradigm shift that she was undergoing?
In the following section of this report Sinéad Whelehan reveals one of the most astounding contact events that I have ever come across. In my judgment, this vignette is an example of how UFO intelligences can manipulate spacetime. Sinéad describes her difficult personal situation and how her request for validation led to an astounding High Strangeness Event. (The following transcript has been edited by me for readability.)
“It's that feeling that experiencers often talk about. I just knew that it was ETs. I knew what they were telling me was real. And believe me, I had moments of doubting myself. Then, I would ask them for validation, and they would give me ridiculous validation that was absolutely undeniable.
An example is that I’m a teacher. This happened in the summer (of 2019). I had my “awakening” in July and about two weeks after the “big cosmic frying pan experience” happened. I had already been hired months before to mark government literacy tests. There are these booklets that are sent out to kids all over the country. In Canada they were sent out to kids in grade 6 to test their math and their literacy (skills).
So, I was hired to mark these booklets and score them. (This project was) to track the data for kids all over the country in terms of their literacy levels. This job was done in a massive warehouse. And there I was with all these tired teachers, you know, trudging in with big jugs of coffee. They were chugging down their coffee through the day and marking these booklets. It was just such dry work and in this big, huge empty warehouse. And, you know, we got cattle called back after breaks. It felt like such a massive juxtaposition to the vibration that I had experienced(with the ETs) just a short while before that I started to feel like,” Oh my God, I have gone crazy.”…
So, I started getting worried about myself. I went home one day… and I was very upset. I just started talking to them (the ETs) out loud. I'm not someone who grew up religious… I never prayed in my life, but I just started talking to them. I was sitting on the floor of my living room crying a little bit, really, really distressed, and stressed out. (I was) wondering if I was mentally well.) I asked them, if this (the continuous presence of ET beings in her life) is really true, “I need you to prove it to me. I need you to prove it to me in a way that is absolutely undeniable and unmistakable….”
So, then I felt this very warm soothing presence around me, and I relaxed. I felt better and I went to bed. Woke up the next day, drove to work. It started as usual… (What) we're supposed to do is just walk up to the front of the room where there's this massive floor to ceiling shelf. I grab a random stack of booklets, bring them back to our desk and start marking them… We're supposed to mark exactly the same question over and over again. So, each (student)answers the question differently. They are 10-11 years old. They're in grade 6 (and) supposed to be writing about “the Day I Became Famous.” It’s a creative writing challenge for them.
Astounding High Strangeness Event On that day, for 45 minutes, from 9:00 o'clock until 9:45 every single booklet I opened had compositions about, ET 's, UFOs, flying cars, free energy, portals, “the earth is alive”, “the Galaxy is full of other beings” (What) I was reading … has nothing to do with the original prompt “The Day I Became Famous. Nothing to do with it! Here are these kids writing in pencil in 10- to 11-year-old child’s writing, “there’s a portal in my bedroom”, “I designed time travel”, “I made a time machine”, “the earth is alive and conscious; she knows what we're all doing to her”. “there are spaceships out there.” I mean I just couldn't believe it. I could not believe It!
We were not allowed to take breaks that early in the morning, but I just said I have to… I went to the washroom. I texted a bunch of friends of mine who I had met by that point in the community because immediately after my awakening I just started reaching out to people for help. I needed to understand what was going on. I connected with the lovely Kosta Makreas (who was recently interviewed on the Jeff Mara Podcast). Kosta was immediately there for me, to support me. I texted him and a couple of other people he had introduced me to… “I need you to tell me if this is real. Did this really just happen?” Meanwhile the hairs on the skin of my arms are standing straight up.
(There I am) in a stall in the bathroom furiously typing. They all wrote me back and said, “Yep this is what happens.” You know, this is exactly it! I mean how can you deny that is validation! Not to mention, when I came back from the bathroom, the rest of the booklets that were on my desk, I think there were three or four left, none of them had anything to do with it (the flying saucer themes). It was all back to the question (and for the rest of the day it was the original composition prompt question) “How I Became Famous” (The answers were what one might expect from 6th graders, things like) “because of YouTube.”
Discussion: How were the non-human intelligences that contacted Sinéad able to stage such an extremely strange sequence of events? She asked for a clear sign that her contacts and communications were real and not the result of her being mentally imbalanced. The very next day the compositions written by 6th graders deviated from the assignment. Instead of writing “The Day I Became Famous”, they wrote about numerous themes associated with “ET contact.”
For two decades I have promoted what I call the Virtual Experience Model for flying saucer investigations. This theory outlines what I believe are illusory mechanisms of contact employed by UFO intelligences during interactions with people targeted for encounters. According to this proposed model, a Virtual Experience of the Third Kind (VE-3) is a false memory inserted into the consciousness of a contact experiencers by flying saucer intelligences. These “thought forms” might be so skillfully done that the false memories convince the experiencer that they represent recollections of actual events. Could Sinéad ’s recollection of this “high strangeness” be a false memory, a VE-3?
This is not a reasonable explanation because immediately after being confronted with the High Strangeness of children writing about what are called “anomalous phenomena”, she texted fellow contact activist Kosta Makreas. I spoke to him the day after I viewed the interview. Kosta recalled receiving the message from Sinéad and reassuring her with a reply akin to “Yep this is what happens.”
For decades, renowned UFO researcher Dr. Jacques Vallee has pointed out that the intelligences responsible for UFOs appear to be able to manipulate spacetime. In my opinion, a consensus is beginning to emerge among contact experiencers as well as UFO investigators that the High Strangeness events associated with UFOs are showing us that materialist science’s explanations as to the nature of reality are at best incomplete. If consciousness, and not mass/energy is the wellspring of creation, then the fundamental assumptions of academic mainstream science are plainly wrong.
Conclusion If consciousness is primary, then perhaps our 4-D reality of spacetime is a kind of projection from some more fundamental realm that is pure consciousness. There has been much speculation in scientific circles that the Cosmos, and everything in it, is part of some simulation created by advanced intelligences. If this is true, then the alleged ETs might be able to enter our “reality” at will and alter the simulation, thereby staging the “inexplicable” events that we label “High Strangeness.” Sinéad ’s encountering a stack of “anomalous” handwritten 6th grade compositions could very well be an example of a personal simulation being altered by her “friends in high places.”
