I’ve been sitting on this photo for a while but as I continue to research, I find that this could very well be the reason perpetrators and victims have an obsession with the bunny and bunny ears symbolism. Most of us have seen all of these pictures, but I haven’t seen anyone talk about what they look like. So I’m going to tell you what I think is the connection with bunny ears, and the pedo/satanic world.\n#1. Take a look at the artwork by <a href=\"http://biljanadjurdjevic.com/\" target=\"blank\">Biljana Djurdjevic</a> which the art group was entitled “Living in Oblivion”. Oblivion is defined as “a state of being completely forgotten; The state of being completely destroyed. “ I’m not going to describe what we all know if you are woke. 😢 When I see this horrific picture I see something that when she painted it was VERY specific, and deliberate. I do not think that the arms are hanging there by mistake or in that way or tied up haphazardly. I think they resemble large bunny ears. I see this as the method used by the satanic pedophiles and probably for thousands of years and I believe that is why this photo brings so much horrific emotion to those of us that see that evil for what it is.\n\n#2. I find the bunny ears within the pentagram (I’ll post full pic in comments) very telling as well! I think that pretty much sums it up!\n\n#3. I also want to make the connection between “Alice and Wonderland” and...\n\nRead the rest here: http://www.mattcole.us/author-talk/jill-dixon-insight-on-bunny-ears/\n\n#AuthorMattCole",

Familiar spirits are those attached to a family, due to some ancestors action.\n\nThere are thirteen zones demons use to infest and attempt to overtake. I wrote an article on these zones. http://www.mattcole.us/2018/06/22/13-zones-to-break-the-demonic-oppression/\n\nOnce the individual uses these zones, the demon has legal rights to infest. Once that occurs, they act as squatters unwilling to leave. However, if you identify these zones,\n\nThere is a lot of discussion involving identity of the demon(s), then with authority remove and protect yourself from said demon(s).  I touch a little on identification, via name, in my article ‘The Demonic Game’. http://www.mattcole.us/2018/03/29/the-demonic-game/\n\n\nThere are three stages of demonic possession.\n\n    Manifestation and Infestastion\n    Oppression\n    Full Possession \n\n(Source: https://steemit.com/demon/@authormattcole/stages-of-demonic-possession or http://www.mattcole.us/2018/08/03/three-stages-of-demonic-possession/)\n\nAll this being said, to protect yourself is to remove yourself from any activity to gain them access. Close those legal ties by breaking the curses, and then with the authority of the Creator demand them to leave.\n\nKeep praying for protection each day.\n\nQuora answer found: https://www.quora.com/How-would-you-protect-yourself-from-demons/answer/Matt-Cole-55\n\nOriginal question: https://www.quora.com/How-would-you-protect-yourself-from-demons\n\n#AuthorMattCole\n\nOriginal article found:\nhttp://www.mattcole.us/author-talk/how-would-you-protect-yourself-from-demons-quora/",

The idea of ‘what I think will occur’ compared to ‘what actually occurs’ in a project. It all looks good on paper, until we attempt to accomplish it. As the process begins to be implemented, other unknown variables begin to emerge. Some of these variables should be obvious, but others become a learning curve.\n\nRegarding Project Management, this difference between plan and action is referred to as variance. Depending on the difference this variance can be positive or negative. The purpose of watching these variances is to gain insight of why it may be positive (sell more) than negative (losing money). I found one interesting article with a real example comment it this way. “What’s important is not the accounting, the calculations, but rather the resulting management.” (Berry, 2018) The purpose is for the manager or owner to understand the real versus the assumption.\n\nYou can take this same scenario and apply it to culture, religion, politics, or a number of variables in one's worldview. As facts begin to be revealed, the variances will come out as positive or negative. Whether this particular scenario is positive or negative is dependent to the individual.\n\n&nbsp;\n\n<strong>References:</strong>\n\nLarson, Erik, Clifford Gray. <em>Project Management: The Managerial Process, 6th Edition</em>.

Those numbers are probably a conservative estimate because we have no accurate information before 4000 B.C. There are a large number of these that are still worshipped today. So, which one is the right one? Is it a matter of opinion?\nAnd because I asked that first question, there are some of you who are going to get angry, and start quoting bible scripture at me. Don't bother. I've read it straight thru 3 times in my life. I am fairly well versed. So, why did you get angry? Did you automatically think that I was targeting your specific deity? I was just asking a question. I want to know why anger is one of the prevailing reactions when someone asks a \"threatening\" question about religion. So, go ahead. Hit me with your best shot! Fire Away!\n\n--\n\n<strong>This started a conversation within the original post. I will post that below. This all started yesterday, so not sure where it will lead. What I have always tried to do, was be transparent. We all grow and learn, but by denying anyone's views, we do ourselves a disservice. </strong>\n\n<a id=\"js_kp\" class=\" UFICommentActorName\" dir=\"ltr\" href=\"https://www.facebook.com/matt.cole.7374\" data-hovercard=\"/ajax/hovercard/hovercard.php?id=504997999&amp;extragetparams=%7B%22is_public%22%3Afalse%2C%22hc_location%22%3A%22ufi%22%7D\" data-ft=\"{&quot;tn&quot;:&quot;;&quot;}\">Matt Cole</a> LOL. Feeling a bit spiffy today Roger? The bible does mention the creator having a heavenly council. This council does actions on Earth at times. Also keep in mind, the nations were split into 70 languages.\nYou pose an interesting inquiry. Anger wasn’t really my response, but rather curiousity why you asked.\nBasically, the creator took Israel as its chosen nation, while the council took over the others. The table of nations attempt to spec out how the people divided up after the Flood.\nRegarding your inquiry on many deities, remember prior to the language division at Babylon, they all spoke the same. Nimrod was the king who setup pagan worship, and when languages were changed, those same people may have divided geographically, they still took the same religion, belief system.\nThere is a reason they say ‘All roads lead to Babylon’, in reference to pagan religion. Quite literally one can trace all the deities back to Babylon (different names, same source). It’s not really a matter of opinion.\nThere is no denying supernatural visitations throughout history. The bigger question is, why.\n\n<a id=\"js_kv\" class=\" UFICommentActorName\" dir=\"ltr\" href=\"https://www.facebook.com/david.carbrey?fref=ufi\" data-hovercard=\"/ajax/hovercard/hovercard.php?id=580618758&amp;extragetparams=%7B%22is_public%22%3Afalse%2C%22hc_location%22%3A%22ufi%22%7D\" data-ft=\"{&quot;tn&quot;:&quot;;&quot;}\">David Carbrey</a>The latest version of the Enuma Elish predates the oldest copy of Genesis by about one thousand years and that's where I am getting my information. The Enuma Elish contains the prototypes for stories such as the creation story, Adama and Awa in Eden, Enki the Serpent King, the flood, Lillith, etc... It was the foundation for the Sumerian beliefs and later, those of Babylon. These people didn't have any concept of writing things down for entertainment. Literature was a foreign concept to them. They were chroniclers and list-makers. The Israelites priests learned these stories during their captivity under Nebuchadnezzar. Prior to that, the Israelites had never written anything down. So, getting history from the Bible while ignoring it's original source is kind of silly. Much like choosing to ignore the parents, grandparents and siblings of Jehovah but insisting that He just existed from the beginning and they never did. There is of course, some history in the Bible, but so much of it was edited by the Israelite and Hebrew scribes and then by the early church fathers around 400AD. Not to mention the various translations from Aramaic, to Latin, Greek &amp; English. Then, you also have to realize that the original text included no punctuation or spacing - so much room for error there. Even the simplest things like the Nativity are messed up. All 4 versions of the story have major discrepancies. It's the only instance where we take all of the elements that do not match up and put them together for the final version of the story, instead of only including the common elements and discounting those that are only present in one version.\n\n<a id=\"js_kw\" class=\" UFICommentActorName\" dir=\"ltr\" href=\"https://www.facebook.com/matt.cole.7374\" data-hovercard=\"/ajax/hovercard/hovercard.php?id=504997999&amp;extragetparams=%7B%22is_public%22%3Afalse%2C%22hc_location%22%3A%22ufi%22%7D\" data-ft=\"{&quot;tn&quot;:&quot;;&quot;}\">Matt Cole</a><a class=\"profileLink\" dir=\"ltr\" href=\"https://www.facebook.com/david.carbrey?hc_location=ufi\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" data-hovercard=\"/ajax/hovercard/hovercard.php?id=580618758&amp;extragetparams=%7B%22hc_location%22%3A%22ufi%22%7D\">David Carbrey</a> This is interesting.

I think it' got to be noted that CARM is a site committed to defending Christian theology and doctrine. They have an agenda that is clearly stated on their landing page. They are never going to be objective concerning the foundations of their faith as related to any other. Also, their premises don't actually add up to the conclusions they are claiming. Their premises are based on faith and they are ignoring much that is obvious. In the Burning Bush story, Moses is informed by Jehovah that, \"I am the God of Abraham.\" Abraham worshipped Jehovah and brought this faith with him when he migrated from Ur, (Thi9s is from Genesis) where Jehovah's entire family was worshipped and catalogued by the Sumerian scribes. That alone, establishes a foundation in Sumerian mythology. It's pretty hard to argue against that by using texts that clearly derived from the Enuma Elish.\n\n<a class=\" UFICommentActorName\" dir=\"ltr\" href=\"https://www.facebook.com/matt.cole.7374\" data-hovercard=\"/ajax/hovercard/hovercard.php?id=504997999&amp;extragetparams=%7B%22is_public%22%3Afalse%2C%22hc_location%22%3A%22ufi%22%7D\" data-ft=\"{&quot;tn&quot;:&quot;;&quot;}\">Matt Cole</a><a class=\"profileLink\" dir=\"ltr\" href=\"https://www.facebook.com/david.carbrey?hc_location=ufi\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" data-hovercard=\"/ajax/hovercard/hovercard.php?id=580618758&amp;extragetparams=%7B%22hc_location%22%3A%22ufi%22%7D\">David Carbrey</a> I find this an interesting discussion. A little deeper than Facebook memes. If you don’t care, I wouldn’t mind pursuing this conversation, as time allows.\nIf so, I would like to step back and bring in some foundations to provide a better understanding on perception. This isn’t to debate, rather give everyone some backdrop of where I am coming from. I would like for you to also provide some feedback. I find it better when I have an understanding of the individual’s background, and word view. Makes it easier to understand why they think, the way they do.\n\n<strong>So what is Faith?</strong>\nFaith can be defined by the following.\na) confidence or trust in a person or thing; or the observance of an obligation from loyalty; or fidelity to a person, promise, engagement; or a belief not based on proof; or it may refer to a particular system of religious belief, [<a dir=\"ltr\" href=\"https://l.facebook.com/l.php?u=https%3A%2F%2Fen.wikipedia.org%2Fwiki%2FFaith&amp;h=wAQELIl70\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener noreferrer\">https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Faith</a>]\nb) strong belief or trust in someone or something [<a dir=\"ltr\" href=\"http://l.facebook.com/l.php?u=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.merriam-webster.com%2Fdictionary%2Ffaith&amp;h=aAQHZGKxN\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener noreferrer\">http://www.merriam-webster.com/dictionary/faith</a>]\n\nFaith is a trust in something. Why do people trust anything? It is because they either gain the information from a source they trust in (IE: people they may know, or a group of people). Also, the trust could be from personal experiences they have endured.\nWe live in a time where more information is thrown at us, unlike any time before. There are nuggets of truth, but more psyop, disinformation, and neglected or ignored truth as well. We are left with having to discern through all this to find the truth. I personally find it very hard to believe anything given to us anymore, regarding mainstream media.\n\n<strong>What is truth?</strong>\nTruth is defined as;\na) to mean being in accord with fact or reality [<a dir=\"ltr\" href=\"https://l.facebook.com/l.php?u=https%3A%2F%2Fen.wikipedia.org%2Fwiki%2FTruth&amp;h=RAQGaymZZ\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener noreferrer\">https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Truth</a>]\nb) he real facts about something : the things that are true [<a dir=\"ltr\" href=\"http://l.facebook.com/l.php?u=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.merriam-webster.com%2Fdictionary%2Ftruth&amp;h=cAQF4xb3I\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener noreferrer\">http://www.merriam-webster.com/dictionary/truth</a>]\nWe have to be carefull with the idea of “my truth is not the same as your truth” mentality. Facts are facts. However, we may believe differently, regardless of seeing the facts.\nThis (in my opinion) is due to our personal experiences, up-bringing, and worldview.\n\n<strong>What is worldview?</strong>\nWorldview is defined as;\na) the fundamental cognitive orientation of an individual or society encompassing the entirety of the individual or society's knowledge and point of view. [<a dir=\"ltr\" href=\"https://l.facebook.com/l.php?u=https%3A%2F%2Fen.wikipedia.org%2Fwiki%2FWorld_view&amp;h=YAQF7p0Av\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener noreferrer\">https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/World_view</a>]\nb) the way someone thinks about the world. [<a dir=\"ltr\" href=\"http://l.facebook.com/l.php?u=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.merriam-webster.com%2Fdictionary%2Fworldview&amp;h=kAQG6rLAY\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener noreferrer\">http://www.merriam-webster.com/dictionary/worldview</a>]\n\nThis is the framework I am coming from. I wouldn’t mind you making any comments or providing thoughts of your own.\nSaying all this, I agree. Depending on the source of information we digest, it will lean one way or another, based on the sources faith and worldview. I really don’t think we can get away from that.\nEvery individual has these inherently. This is why I like to review different sources, and try to discern some truth out of each. Saying that, I would request for your citations, in why you think a b c or d. This will allow me to learn more, and give me some additional food for thought.\nAlso, I prefer to call this a conversation over a debate. I have lived long enough to know in debates, you will never, if rarely, change the opposing person’s view. However, you can help educate those willing to learn from the conversation, and more importantly, those listening to the conversation. This is why I will provide citations when I can, and request the same to be done from you.\nAlso, if you want to proceed, we both have lives. I have a lot on my plate, but think this would be fun. If I don’t immediately reply, it’s not intentional, or am I ignoring your statement or question.\n\n<strong>Moving on:</strong>\nPer your comment, “it' got to be noted that CARM is a site committed to defending Christian theology and doctrine” Agreed, for the reasons above. It is their worldview, so they are defending it as such.\nPer your comment; “their premises don't actually add up to the conclusions they are claiming.” The way I was reading it, they provided compare/contrast between Moses writing with the other writings in the immediate area.\nPer your comment; “In the Burning Bush story, Moses is informed by Jehovah that, \"I am the God of Abraham.\" Abraham worshipped Jehovah and brought this faith with him when he migrated from Ur, “\nThe burning bush is in Exodus 3.2 through vs 6. A book titled “The Spirit Realm’ by Michael S. Heiser, points out something interesting. Verse 6 mentions Moses was afraid to look in the burning bush, suggesting he had discerned something other than fire within the bush. This could very well be a human form of the Angel. Most, don’t realize there were two entities in the book. If you read it carefully, “the angel of the Yahweh” was in the bush. But when Moses turns to look in the bush, Yahweh calls Moses “from the midst of the bush”. There is the visible and invisible Yahweh characters in play here. When asked for God’s name, he replied “I AM”. I am looking deeper into this. I make this point, because there is more to this than Jehova vs Yahweh vs I AM.\nPer your comment: “Jehovah's entire family was worshipped and catalogued by the Sumerian scribes” From what I am reading, According to Sumerian texts Enki (Satan) created man and animals and his brother Enlil (jehovah) created the earth and sky. A rift came between them (much like the parable of Cain and Able / Esau and Jacob), and although Satan was the eldest of the brothers (their father was An chief Sumer god), Yahwehs mother held a higher rank (Yahweh and Satan, according to Sumer texts had different mothers), because of this Yahweh was given precedence in the Pantheon of Gods.\nIt goes back to the idea of duality, white/black, as above/so below, male/female, ECT. But, if this was true, who created the creators?\n\n</div>\n<a id=\"js_kx\" class=\" UFICommentActorName\" dir=\"ltr\" href=\"https://www.facebook.com/david.carbrey?fref=ufi\" data-hovercard=\"/ajax/hovercard/hovercard.php?id=580618758&amp;extragetparams=%7B%22is_public%22%3Afalse%2C%22hc_location%22%3A%22ufi%22%7D\" data-ft=\"{&quot;tn&quot;:&quot;;&quot;}\">David Carbrey</a> Hey, sounds fun Matt.

One of the things I mentioned to my manager is to identify the other groups PM’s and find some form of cohesiveness, working together.\n\n<center><img class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-128418 aligncenter\" src=\"http://www.mattcole.us/wp-content/uploads/2018/07/PMPLanning.png\" alt=\"PMPLanning\" width=\"201\" height=\"297\" /></center>\n\nThe idea is to share our groups project plans, while also have a better understanding of their tasks. Generally identified resources are on the same call for updates, but little is truly understood on times and availability. Basically, we are trying to break down silos.\n\nI really like this quote provided to us in the book.\n<blockquote><em>The principal benefit of living abroad is that it enables us to get glimpses of ourselves as others see us and to realize that others’ views are more accurate than ours. Progress begins with grasping the truth about ourselves, however unpleasant it may be.</em>\n\n<em>—Russel Ackoff, The Wharton School, University of Pennsylvania </em>(Larson 539)</blockquote>\nI find this to be true even among our peers.\n\nReading the material on International Projects, it becomes more clear of the additional factors in\n\nplace for complication. Some include environmental factors, legal/political issues, security, the geography itself, economic factors, infrastructure and culture. All these must be reviewed as they will have a positive or negative impact.\n\nThe main thing I find in project management is time consumption. It takes time to get all these notes, documentation, identify resources, and collaboration.\n\nI read somewhere one minute of planning saves ten to fifteen minutes of doing. That becomes significant when dealing with multiple tasks and scope.\n\n&nbsp;\n\n<strong>References:</strong>\n\nLarson, Erik, Clifford Gray. <em>Project Management: The Managerial Process, 6th Edition</em>.

If able, I would ask everyone to support his work.\n\nSimply,  a quick $1 a month goes along way and adds up with many doing it.\nYou can reach his <a href=\"https://www.patreon.com/KJOzborne\" target=\"blank\">Patreon Channel here</a> to support his ministry. I actually see this as a <strong>ministry</strong>. I have learned a lot from his content. And yes, I am a Patron of his (as of now).\n\nSome things in this video I pick up on .  He name drops some players in the Industry's beast system. While they are all connected to an extent, there definitely seems some having more exposure than others. We see their use of certain actors to perpetuate on the public. Disney's young kid actors such as MiIley Cyrus transforming from sweet and innocent to lewd and crude. Her followers will simply transition along with her public image.\n\n<strong><b>What's a Witch?</b></strong>\n\nWe also see hints of witchcraft with the Kardashians and other pop culture figures.\n\nThe public comical definition of a witch is \"a woman thought to have magic powers, especially evil ones, popularly depicted as wearing a black cloak and pointed hat and flying on a broomstick.\" However, a witch is not a specific gender. Meaning, it's not just women.\n\nHowever, in a recent article, a real witch debunks these preconceptions and explains what modern day witch really is.\n<blockquote>Witches are real: They're people who practice magick. Magick, which witches like to spell with a \"k\" to differentiate it from stage magic, is real too. The practice of magick is about <a href=\"https://www.allure.com/story/blue-moon-energy-spell-ritual\">raising and directing energy</a> to fulfill your intentions, and if you haven't noticed, witchcraft is in vogue. <a href=\"https://www.allure.com/story/real-life-witches-myths-misconceptions\" target=\"blank\">Source</a>.</blockquote>\n\nA witch is aware of her power and puts that power into action. With that understanding, anyone who is actively using energy to form desired action or outcome is technically performing witchcraft.\n\n&nbsp;\n\n<strong><b>Call me by another name.</b></strong>\n\nThere is  a reason why the bible comments on  \"you will know them by their fruits.\"\n<blockquote>“Beware of false prophets,who come to you in sheep’s clothing, but inwardly they are ravenous wolves. You will know them by their fruits. Do men gather grapes from thornbushes or figs from thistles? Even so, every good tree bears good fruit, but a bad tree bears bad fruit. A good tree cannot bear bad fruit, nor <i>can</i> a bad tree bear good fruit. Every tree that does not bear good fruit is cut down and thrown into the fire. Therefore by their fruits you will know them.  Matthew 7:15-20</blockquote>\nLet's face it. We categorize everything in order to make sense out of it. Religion is no different. KJ points out actors referring to themselves as Atheist, but their actions reflect Satanist. Just because you categorize yourself, does not mean you are acting accordingly. I would add those calling themselves Christians as well.  Your deeds show your true identity.\n\n&nbsp;\n\n<strong><b>Escape</b></strong>\n\nI like how KJ points out we are the escape artists. We, meaning those who has eyes to see and ears to hear. We see their symbiology much like breaking anagrams with cyphers.  One person notes the beast system applies their symbols on everything much like a dog pisses to mark his territory.  However, after watching enough of these types of videos, you are left with the impression, only those falling into the system can excel.\n\n&nbsp;\n\n<strong><b>Summary:</b></strong>\n\nIn summary, I wanted to bring KJ's work in the forefront for my audience. I highly  respect his work and find his content having quality and substance. I implore all to start contributing to those like KJ, allowing them to work on this type of material. I truly believe it's only going to get harder to live in America. Setting up foundations like this will go along way for those talents we need.\n\nMoving ahead, as cost increases, we will need to be more diligent in where we put our resources.\n\n&nbsp;\n\n#AuthorMattCole\n\n&nbsp;\n\nThis post is also available on <a href=\"https://www.patreon.com/posts/19841587\" target=\"&quot;\">my patreon</a> site  and <a href=\"http://www.mattcole.us/2018/07/03/kjs-video-the-hollywood-witches/\" target=\"blank\">Main Site</a>.",

During this conversation, the speaker said something very profound.\n\n<iframe src=\"https://www.youtube.com/embed/k3zXGW5Qf8Q\" width=\"854\" height=\"480\" frameborder=\"0\" allowfullscreen=\"allowfullscreen\"></iframe>\n\n\"When I was researching, I set parameters. I wasn't willing to research certain things.\" (Paraphrasing here)\n\nI see this more often than not. Rather than allowing the research lead you, some have preconceived ideas and attempt to fit the information into the desired final result.\n\nI have always been interested in the paranormal, and I think this still pulls me. One of the reasons I write <a href=\"http://www.mattcole.us/matts-books-2/\" target=\"blank\">novel's and non-fiction</a> on the subject. There is a void in everyone that needs to be filled. This can easily be filled by the paranormal. Research has shown <a href=\"https://www.huffingtonpost.com/2013/12/15/psychology-materialism_n_4425982.html\" target=\"blank\">materialism is failing</a> us and <a href=\"https://www.njlifehacks.com/materialism-happiness/\" target=\"blank\">not making us happy</a>.\n\nDue to this failing, paranormal and spirituality will be required in the attempts to fill the void.  But don't think a church will fill the need. Many are leaving the churches as well. A PRRI Survey (2016) showed <a href=\"https://brandonvogt.com/new-stats-young-people-leave-church/\" target=\"blank\">60% – stopped believing in the religion’s teachings</a>.\"\n\nThis writer explains she left the church <a href=\"https://www.huffingtonpost.com/mette-ivie-harrison/filling-the-spiritual-voi_b_10548858.html\" target=\"blank\">in pursuit of good deeds</a>.\n\n<strong>The top reason someone leaves the church? </strong>\n\n<a href=\"https://www.christianitytoday.com/pastors/2012/winter/youngleavechurch.html\" target=\"blank\">Shallowness</a> according to one research.  Think about that, when you are sitting in the pew.  According to that article,  one-third call church boring, about one-fourth say faith is irrelevant and Bible teaching is unclear. One-fifth say God is absent from their church experience.\n\nPersonally, I would add churches not providing the answers to questions posed by the audience.\n\n<strong>Back to the paranormal.</strong>\n\nThe paranormal provides something more tangible.  Some psychologist believe the belief in the paranormal is a <a href=\"http://www.bbc.com/future/story/20141030-the-truth-about-the-paranormal\" target=\"blank\">defense mechanism</a> while others believe it's the power of <a href=\"https://www.livescience.com/14904-paranormal-experiences-hint-ghosts.html\" target=\"blank\">suggestion</a>.\n\nHowever, having experienced events of the paranormal, I find unbelievers a bit dismissive. There are just too many occurrences to close your mind to something. By definition, Paranormal is a phenomenon beyond the scope of scientific understanding. This line of understanding is narrowing, thanks to advancement of science and the understanding with quantum mechanics.\n\nMuch like the <a href=\"https://www.huffingtonpost.com/2011/08/26/ufos-pilots-history-channel_n_935847.html\" target=\"blank\">67 % increase in UFO sightings</a>, paranormal activity is on the rise.  One poll showed three in four Americans profess at least one paranormal belief, and <a href=\"https://news.gallup.com/poll/16915/three-four-americans-believe-paranormal.aspx\" target=\"blank\">42% of Americans believe that \"people on this earth are sometimes possessed by the devil</a>.\"\n\nSince so  many believe in this phenomenon, it begs to question the source of said phenomenon. I go back to many researchers applying parameters in their studies.  While calling themselves researchers, they will choose which to review and ignore. I recall a documentary of a young women having dreams of living a past life. The documentary followed her travels to India and in search of reincarnation and having life before now. What struck me is a priest proposing the idea of demonic influence to provide those memories to her. She dismissed it immediately, without any follow-up.  For me, this immediately discredited her findings.  Not due to her outcome, rather her willingness to look at the full spectrum.\n\nWhat I find more fascinating is how some instill these same parameters involving the paranormal. If it doesn't fit the mold, then it's ignored.\n\nThis morning, someone suggested I like an author's page (which I did) that lead me to a paranormal podcast. I viewed some of their videos, and they appeared to need more callers, content. Reaching out, I was surprised of the outcome. The issue is not being declined (had that happened before, due to genre is not the same as the provided platform). I found provision of no reason a bit confusing.  Anyone else had this experience?\n\n&nbsp;\n\n<img class=\"alignnone size-medium wp-image-127101\" src=\"http://www.mattcole.us/wp-content/uploads/2018/07/paranormal_im-231x300.png\" alt=\"paranormal_im\" width=\"231\" height=\"300\" />\n\n&nbsp;\n\n<strong>My point in this post?</strong>\n\nI personally believe everyone is on their own journey. We get sidetracked with time loss activity, but ultimately somewhere in everyone's soul, they desire to learn and understand. My concern is those pushing ideas without a) conveying their audience to fact check or look themselves, and b) missing out on a great learning opportunity if they call themselves researchers, yet apply parameters to limit their view.\n\n&nbsp;\n\n#AuthorMattCole\n\n&nbsp;\nYou can find more content from Matt Cole @ Patreon. \n\nhttps://www.patreon.com/authormattcole  OR\n\nHis main site:  http://mattcole.us",

However, I will say there are some interesting points to be made.  Personally, I think this particular conversation (not debating) is interesting and can cause division within the fold. Perhaps this is part of the purpose (to cause division). It is not my intent. Rather, the question was posed to me, and I took some time to find some good points being made (outside the bible) for the flat earth model.\n\n&nbsp;\n\n<strong> </strong>\n<h1>How many have actually gone into space?</h1>\nThere is an estimated 7.629 billion people on planet Earth as I write this. [<a href=\"http://www.worldometers.info/world-population/\" target=\"blank\">Source</a>] Of that number only 448 people have traveled in space technically.\n<blockquote>After consulting several experts, Von Karman found that this height was very close to 100 kilometers above the ground (62.1 miles), and it became known as the Karman Line. According to the <a href=\"http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_space_travelers_by_name\">list of human space travelers on Wikipedia</a>, 448 people have traveled above the line. <a href=\"http://www.fai.org/\">The Fédération Aéronautique Internationale (FAI)</a>, an international group that maintains records in flight and spaceflight, accepted the Karman Line, as did most of the rest of the world, but the U.S. Air Force did not. [<a href=\"http://scienceline.org/2007/03/ask-romero-people_in_space/\" target=\"blank\">Source</a>]</blockquote>\nThe Karman line lies 62 miles above Earth's sea level.  This definition is accepted by the <a title=\"Fédération Aéronautique Internationale\" href=\"https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/F%C3%A9d%C3%A9ration_A%C3%A9ronautique_Internationale\">Fédération aéronautique internationale</a> (FAI), which is an international standard-setting and record-keeping body for <a title=\"Aeronautics\" href=\"https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Aeronautics\">aeronautics</a> and <a title=\"Astronautics\" href=\"https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Astronautics\">astronautics</a>.\n<h1>If space is technically 62 miles, how far before weight loss occurs?</h1>\nReviewing the idea of  weight loss, we see it really is a free falling feeling or moving along a geodesic. Geodesic is defined as relating to or denoting the shortest possible line between two points on a sphere or other curved surface. Another term is zero gravity.\n\nYou can be in free fall in an airplane that flies along the correct path at 10,000 feet. You can be almost in free fall in an elevator which has had its cable cut.  This being said, film of weight loss can be mimicked without the necessity to be above the Karman line.\n\nThere are companies offering flights for people to experience zero gravity, without having to be \"in space\".\n<blockquote>\n<div class=\"Paragraph__component\">For years, the European Space Agency (ESA) has used a Novespace-owned Airbus to run parabolic, aka \"zero-gravity\" flights for scientists and astronauts-in-training. Last March, <a href=\"http://www.novespace.fr/en,home.html\" target=\"_blank\">Novespace</a> started selling seats to the general public for a relatively reasonable $7,932.</div>\n<div class=\"Paragraph__component\">\"I've been doing this for 20 years, and every flight, there's always this 'wow' impression,\" says Vladimir Pletser, the parabolic flight manager at the ESA, and a Guinness record holder for most aircraft flown in parabola. \"It's like you get born again in a new environment. Words are not enough to describe it. You have to live it.\"</div>\n<div class=\"Paragraph__component\">\"Zero-gravity\" is a bit of a misnomer, as the Zero-G -- the Airbus A300 that performs the missions -- never leaves Earth's orbit. [<a href=\"https://www.cnn.com/travel/article/cash-strapped-space-travel-zero-gravity-flight/index.html\" target=\"blank\">Source</a>]</div></blockquote>\nI point this out, to provide evidence zero-gravity does not equal space.\n\n&nbsp;\n<h1>What's with the Bubbles in Space?</h1>\nThere are many videos pointing out alleged bubbles during space flights. The thought is they are actually underwater, rather than in space.

In every NASA picture of Earth, it is a composite.  There is not a single, simple, photo of Earth in one picture (from what I can find). All are composites or having some manipulation.\n\nI did run across this picture provided by Russia.

They believe in 2 with the next one coming.\nI told him it can’t be cause revelations was written 26 yrs after 76 by a friend and disciple of Jesus. Also Daniel was alive during that time and went on to write of his events...\nJust wondering have you ever heard of this and how can I teach my friend it never happened?</blockquote>\n\nThe word rapture is not found in the bible. Within Christianity, this term is normally defined as events related to the return of Jesus Christ.  This idea became popular around 1830's with John Darby.\n\nJohn Nelson Darby invented the pre-tribulation rapture doctrine around 1830 AD. There is one finding of the rapture idea prior to 1830 with a short essay by Morgan Edwards as a college paper for Bristol Baptist College in Bristol England in 1744. (<a href=\"http://www.bible.ca/rapture-origin-john-nelson-darby-1830ad.htm\" target=\"blank\">Source</a>) Many current day pastors hold the rapture as doctrine, and it was pushed out to the public with the successful books by\n\nThis view of the rapture is generally broken into three arguments: pre-tribulation, mid-tribulation, and post-tribulation. The tribulation is believed to be the last seven years of mankind on Earth, before the final judgment of all. There are many many articles and books arguing when this rapture will take place. Too many to go into here.  However, from my research, most believe this rapture (caught up) will occur sometime in these last seven years.\n\nRegarding the idea of the rapture already taken place in the 70's AD comes from the idea of preterism.\n\n<strong>What is Preterism?</strong>\n\nAccording to preterism, all prophecy in the Bible is really history. The preterist interpretation of Scripture regards the book of Revelation as a symbolic picture of first-century conflicts, not a description of what will occur in the end times. The term <i>preterism</i> comes from the Latin <i>praeter</i>, meaning “past.” Thus, preterism is the view that the biblical prophecies concerning the “end times” have already been fulfilled—in the past.\n\nPreterism denies the future prophetic quality of the <a href=\"https://www.gotquestions.org/Book-of-Revelation.html\">book of Revelation</a>. The preterist movement essentially teaches that all the end-times prophecies of the New Testament were fulfilled in <a href=\"https://www.gotquestions.org/AD-70.html\">AD 70</a> when the Romans attacked and destroyed Jerusalem. (<a href=\"https://www.gotquestions.org/preterist.html\" target=\"blank\">Source</a>)\n\nI believe this is where your friend is acquiring his belief on the rapture having already occurred. This same means of thinking accepts the church has replaced Israel in God's plan, also known as replacement theology. Or the idea of the church being an expansion of Israel (convent theology).\n\nI also found this interesting  paragraph in my research.\n\nPreterists usually point to a passage in Jesus’ <a href=\"https://www.gotquestions.org/Olivet-Discourse.html\">Olivet Discourse</a> to bolster their argument. After Jesus describes some of the end-times happenings, He says, “Truly I tell you, this generation will certainly not pass away until all these things have happened” (<a class=\"rtBibleRef\" href=\"https://biblia.com/bible/esv/Matt%2024.34\" target=\"_blank\" data-reference=\"Matt 24.34\" data-version=\"esv\" data-purpose=\"bible-reference\">Matthew 24:34</a>). The preterist takes this to mean that everything Jesus speaks of in <a class=\"rtBibleRef\" href=\"https://biblia.com/bible/esv/Matt%2024\" target=\"_blank\" data-reference=\"Matt 24\" data-version=\"esv\" data-purpose=\"bible-reference\">Matthew 24</a> had to have occurred within one generation of His speaking—the destruction of Jerusalem in AD 70 was therefore “Judgment Day.” (<a href=\"https://www.gotquestions.org/preterist.html\" target=\"blank\">Source</a>)\n\nIn opposition of this means of thinking (preterism) is from the apostle Paul who warned against those who, like Hymenaeus and Philetus, teach falsely “that the resurrection has already taken place, and they destroy the faith of some” (<a class=\"rtBibleRef\" href=\"https://biblia.com/bible/esv/2%20Tim%202.17%E2%80%9318\" target=\"_blank\" data-reference=\"2 Tim 2.17–18\" data-version=\"esv\" data-purpose=\"bible-reference\">2 Timothy 2:17–18</a>).\n\nThere is an interesting article titled <a href=\"https://www.christiancourier.com/articles/91-menace-of-radical-preterism-the\" target=\"blank\">The Menace of Radical Preterism</a> by Wayne Jackson. It provides the preterist points and refutes them. You may find this information helpful.\n\n&nbsp;\n\n<strong>Rapture vs Second Coming</strong>\n\nWe need to take a moment to differentiate the rapture and second coming of Christ. The rapture and second coming are similar but separate events.\n\n<strong>Rapture </strong>\n\nThe rapture is when Jesus Christ returns to remove the church (all believers in Christ) from the earth. The rapture is described in <a class=\"rtBibleRef\" href=\"https://biblia.com/bible/esv/1%20Thess%204.13-18\" target=\"_blank\" data-reference=\"1 Thess 4.13-18\" data-version=\"esv\" data-purpose=\"bible-reference\">1 Thessalonians 4:13-18</a> and <a class=\"rtBibleRef\" href=\"https://biblia.com/bible/esv/1%20Cor%2015.50-54\" target=\"_blank\" data-reference=\"1 Cor 15.50-54\" data-version=\"esv\" data-purpose=\"bible-reference\">1 Corinthians 15:50-54</a>. Believers who have died will have their bodies resurrected and, along with believers who are still living, will meet the Lord in the air. This will all occur in a moment, in a twinkling of an eye.\n\n<strong>Second Coming</strong>\n\nThe second coming is when Jesus returns to defeat the Antichrist, destroy evil, and establish His millennial kingdom. The second coming is described in <a class=\"rtBibleRef\" href=\"https://biblia.com/bible/esv/Rev%2019.11-16\" target=\"_blank\" data-reference=\"Rev 19.11-16\" data-version=\"esv\" data-purpose=\"bible-reference\">Revelation 19:11-16</a>. I should also point out Islam also teaches this judgement day at the end of times.\n\nMuslims believe that at the end of time, all human beings will have to face God and account for their deeds, good and bad. God will judge them accordingly, assigning reward or punishment. The time of the Day of Judgment is not specified in the <i>Quran</i> but is understood to be near. Its depiction is similar to biblical accounts, with earthquakes, moving mountains, the sky splitting open, heaven being rolled back, the sun ceasing to shine, stars being scattered and falling upon the earth, oceans boiling over, graves opening, the earth bringing forth hidden sins as well as lost stories and the dead themselves, and people vainly trying to flee divine wrath. Everyone will bow before God. Traditional Islamic thought portrays the Day of Judgment as preceded by a cosmic battle between Satan's forces, represented by the false messiah al-Dajjal and Gog and Magog, and God's forces, led by the Mahdi and Jesus. (<a href=\"http://www.oxfordislamicstudies.com/article/opr/t125/e513\" target=\"blank\">Source</a>) \n\nThe term <i>mahdī</i> (divinely guided one) has come to denote a messianic figure whose presence will usher in an era of justice and true belief immediately before the end of time.\n\n<strong>Personal Thoughts on the Rapture</strong>\n\nThis transformation is conveyed this way: At the Second Coming of Jesus Christ, all born again Christians will be caught up in the clouds to meet the Lord in the air (<strong><a href=\"https://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=1+Thessalonians+4%3A13-18&amp;version=NIV\" target=\"blank\">1 Thessalonians 4:13-18</a></strong>). At the sound of the “last trumpet,” the dead who were born again during their lifetime will be resurrected from the dead. At the same time, those who are born again and still alive on earth will be transformed instantly, from mortal beings to immortal beings. <strong><a href=\"https://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=Romans+8%3A11&amp;version=NIV\" target=\"blank\">Romans 8:11</a></strong> tells us that our mortal bodies will be made alive if we have God’s spirit living in us.\n\nHonestly, I use to believe the rapture would occur pre-tribulation. We would be swept away prior to the last seven years. However, two things to consider.\n\n<blockquote>\"But about that day or hour no one knows, not even the angels in heaven, nor the Son, but only the Father.\" Matthew 24:36</blockquote>\n\nThis clearly states no-one but the Father knows when Christ will return. Therefore, for those attempting to put a date on the rapture, do so in error. I grow very weary of those trying to prophecy when the end is coming. I am thinking Y2K, ect.\n\nSecond thing I take is the words, \"At the sound of the last trumpet.\" The last trumpet, meaning at the end. This makes me believe there will be believers in Christ that make it through the tribulation.\n\nThe following verse provides us a view of what is to occur.\n\n<blockquote> \"For the Lord himself will descend from heaven with a cry of command, with the voice of an archangel, and  with the sound of the trumpet of God. And the dead in Christ will rise first. Then we who are alive, who are left, will be caught up together with them  in the clouds to meet the Lord in the air, and so we will always be with the Lord.\" Thessalonians 4: 16-17</blockquote>\n\nThere definitely appears to be a rapture, for no better word. Those who died prior are asleep but will be raised first, then those  remaining alive at this event will meet them. This is something to keep in mind, when we are told our dead relatives speak to us beyond the grave. But I digress.\n\n\nAs far as when this event will happen, it is provided to us in the next couple of verses. We need to keep on the same context. Keep in mind, we are told what to watch for, not a specific date/time.\n\n<blockquote>Now concerning the times and the seasons, brothers, you have no need to have anything written to you. For you yourselves are fully aware that the day of the Lord will come like a thief in the night. While people are saying, \"There is peace and security,\" then sudden destruction will come upon them as labor pains come upon a pregnant woman, and they will not escape.\" Thessalonians 5: 1-3</blockquote>\n\nHere we are told the return will come like a thief in the night. Meaning (to me), by surprise. This re-emphasizes we don't know. It will sneak up on us, unaware. The writer calls those in belief to remain sober and waiting. Interestingly, we are provided some additional clues. Notice the 'peace and security' comment. If we look at the world now, it's nothing about peace and security, with all the school shootings, sex trafficking, ethnic cleansing going on worldwide. This means it's a false 'peace and security'. When that is proclaimed destruction occurs. Some believe this is the 7 year treaty the Anti-Christ will have with Israel, and then break it midway meaning the last 3 and half years.\n\nAt the end of the day, there does appear to be an event called the Rapture (for lack of better terms) taking place. When that takes place is unknown and debated. The take away is for the believers to remain vigilant, and sober. To be a Christian, we must not only believe that Christ died for our sins, but equally important, rose from the dead the third day.\n\nThis is important. Most religions preach love and good deeds.  See my article on <a href=\"https://www.patreon.com/posts/18959240/\" target=\"blank\">A Look at Religion's Afterlife</a>. However, the Christian believes that Christ died for their sins (an offering to live eternal), and rose again. The risen from the dead means sin and death were defeated.\n\nBecause it is through the <em><a href=\"http://www.truegospel.org/index.cfm/fuseaction/library.sa/subj/resurrection/resurrection-articles.htm\">resurrection from the dead</a></em> that one is <em>born again</em>—born into the Family (Kingdom) of God.

      "body": "Someone asked the following question:\n<blockquote>\"When  a Christian dies, people say, 'They are with Jesus now.' So do any other religions believe the same way? If so, who are they with and where?\"</blockquote>\nThis provided me an opportunity to write a post on the subject.<p>\n\n<strong>The Landscape</strong>\n\nAccording to some estimates, there are 4200 religions in the world. Most are familiar with the following; Hinduism, Buddism, Paganism, Wicca, Atheism, Christianity, Islam, and Judaism.  The complexity is when these religions defrag into many other divisions within.\n\n&nbsp;\n\n<img class=\"alignnone size-medium wp-image-124712 aligncenter\" src=\"http://www.mattcole.us/wp-content/uploads/2018/05/PR_15.05.12_RLS-00-176x300.png\" alt=\"PR_15.05.12_RLS-00\" width=\"176\" height=\"300\" />\n\n&nbsp;\n\nLiving in America, we see the religious landscape changing over time. the major new survey of more than 35,000 Americans by the Pew Research Center finds that the percentage of adults (ages 18 and older) who describe themselves as Christians has dropped by nearly eight percentage points in just seven years, from 78.4% in an equally massive Pew Research survey in 2007 to 70.6% in 2014. Over the same period, the percentage of Americans who are religiously unaffiliated – describing themselves as atheist, agnostic or “nothing in particular” – has jumped more than six points, from 16.1% to 22.8%. And the share of Americans who identify with non-Christian faiths also has inched up, rising 1.2 percentage points, from 4.7% in 2007 to 5.9% in 2014. Growth has been especially great among Muslims and Hindus, albeit from a very low base. (<a href=\"http://www.pewforum.org/2015/05/12/americas-changing-religious-landscape/\" target=\"blank\">Source</a>)\n\nThere are too many religions and branches within each to cover for the purpose of this article. However, we will look at the more known religions and their belief of an afterlife. This will be a simple view of each.\n\n<strong>Afterlife</strong>\n\n<strong>Christianity: </strong>\n\nWhile there are many divisions within this group, the main staple is a heaven for those doing good and a hell for those who are wicked.\n\n<strong>Buddhism: </strong>\n\nThey believe or accept basic Hindu doctrines of reincarnation and karma. Their goal is to escape the cycle of death and rebirth.\n\n<strong>Judaism:</strong>\n\nThe belief that the souls of the righteous dead go to a place similar to the Christian heaven, or that they are reincarnated through many lifetimes, or that they simply wait until the coming of the messiah, when they will be resurrected.\n\n<strong>Islam:</strong>\n\nThe tenets of the Muslim faith, death is the complete end of physical life and the beginning of a period of rest until the day of resurrection when Allah judges the living and the dead. When the Day of Judgment arrives, everyone is judged according to their deeds in life.\n\n<strong>Hinduism:</strong>\n\nThe Upanishads, the ancient set of Hindu religious texts, postulated an eternal, changeless core of the self called as the \"Atman.\" This soul or \"deep self\" was viewed as being identical with the unchanging godhead, referred to as Brahma (the unitary ground of being that transcends particular gods and goddesses). Untouched by the variations of time and circumstance, the Atman was nevertheless entrapped in the world of \"samsara\" (the cycle of death and rebirth). Unlike Western treatments of reincarnation, which tend to make the idea of coming back into body after body seem exotic, desirable, and even romantic, Hinduism, Buddhism, and other southern Asian religions portray the samsaric process as unhappy. Life in this world means suffering.\n\n<strong>Spiritualism/Spiritism:</strong>\n\nall people and animals that have been loved (had their vibrations raised) such as pets, continue to live after physical death. On crossing over we take three things with us: our etheric or spirit body (a duplicate of our physical body) all memories and our character.\n\n<strong>Atheism:</strong>\n\nThe belief of only our contributions to the world we are departing will live on, and that's all there is to it.\n\n<strong>Wicca:</strong>\n\nViewed as an experimental religion,  the sacred teachings often say nothing of what happens to you after you die. Many thoughts are derived within the Wicca belief; transmigration of souls, simple reincarnation, division of souls, non-linear reincarnation, familial incarnation, choice, late hellenic, neo-christian, you rot. (<a href=\"http://gamma.faithweb.com/19.html\" target=\"blank\">Source</a>)\n\n<strong>Paganism:</strong>\n\nIn <em>The Pagan Book of Living and Dying</em>, author Starhawk says, “Imagine if we truly understood that decay is the matrix of fertility… we might view our own aging with less fear and distaste, and greet death with sadness, certainly, but without terror.” Many Pagans believe that there is some sort of afterlife, although that tends to take varying forms, depending on the individual belief system. (<a href=\"https://www.thoughtco.com/pagan-views-of-the-afterlife-2561443\" target=\"blank\">Source</a>)\n\n<strong>Occultism:</strong>\n\nSimilar to others, many have differing ideas within the group. Reincarnation is popular, or some form of heaven. Others take on the idea nothing is created or destroyed, rather transforms.\n\n<strong>Personal Note: </strong>\n\nThe trend I am seeing is the blend of many religions into each individual's choice. You see mega churches adopt paganism and occultism to a degree. Recently, I watched a video of a Catholic church bring in \"Beyonce\" as a source of inspiration.\n\n&nbsp;\n\n<iframe src=\"https://www.youtube.com/embed/PXci-sRayAQ\" width=\"854\" height=\"480\" frameborder=\"0\" allowfullscreen=\"allowfullscreen\"></iframe>\n\n&nbsp;\n\nWe see this blending in Science as well, with the ancient occult knowledge. Quantum Physics is being seen as ancient occult knowledge. Interestingly older known scientist have based many of their findings from ancient texts.\n\n&nbsp;\n\n<iframe src=\"https://www.youtube.com/embed/2clykIEvyz8\" width=\"854\" height=\"480\" frameborder=\"0\" allowfullscreen=\"allowfullscreen\"></iframe>\n\n&nbsp;\n\nMy point is the older models of religion and belief systems seem to be breaking and blending.\n\n#AuthorMattCole\n\n<p>\nYou can find more content from Matt Cole @ Patreon. \n\nhttps://www.patreon.com/authormattcole",

A bunch of hippies speaking poems, while others snap their fingers for politeness came to mind. \n\nNot much of a crowd, I see four have signed up to be heard. The event host asked who signed up first, looking at my daughter and me. I politely said anyone else can go first, as I wasn’t willing to be the first in this unknown setting. \nI was called to go first. Fine. Standing in front of the room, I was reminded to speak into the mic. I explained I pulled an old poem I wrote from 1993. I conveyed my simple 4-5 paragraph and received claps rather than snaps of fingers. I sat down.\n\nMy daughter was next. She conveyed no less than three poems from her book. I recorded all of them. \nAn old singer followed her, pleasantly singing old tunes he made over the years.\nSo this is what open mic was. People sharing stories and feelings to others. OK. A bit of the sixties, but no snapping fingers.\n\nThen it happened. A small fragile looking girl approached the mic. Others commented she been there before. She looked 12-13 years of age to me. A cute small thing, no more than 4 foot 2 or 3 inches. \nHer “poems” spoke of tragedy, molestation, rape and incest. Her experiences that led her to anxiety and panic disorder. I was floored. What the hell is this? I am still shaken from what I heard, from this nervous and fidgety 14 year old. \nAfter the event, I had a good talk with my daughter. She could see me distraught and deep in thought. “It happens dad. A lot.” \n\nYeah, I get that, but so close to home? This is when I realized open mic is more than finger snapping and provision of a simple rhyme. \nPeople sharing thoughts and experiences, a desire to find a connection with others, using words and feelings on a different level. \n\nAt home, I am introduced to Sarah Kay. Through YouTube videos my daughter shows me some of her favorite “Spoken Word” videos by this person. They are beautiful stories provided visually, through her simple but powerful words. No music. No fancy technology. A simple story through the power of words that allows you to see in her world. Very interesting. \n\nLater that night, I came across one on my own. \n\nA boy name Patrick Roche with the title of 21. Sad but haunting. \n\n<iframe width=\"560\" height=\"315\" src=\"https://www.youtube.com/embed/6LnMhy8kDiQ\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"autoplay; encrypted-media\" allowfullscreen></iframe>\n\n\nTo me, it was a good experience of seeing how this is also a way to communicate power and emotion, while reminding everyone, we are all in this broken world trying to survive.",

      "body": "<strong>No Bull</strong>\n<p>\nI am a fan of the TV show “Bull”, where actor Michael Weatherly plays the main character, who was based off the real Dr. Phil.\n<p>\n<img class=\"size-full wp-image-1012 aligncenter\" src=\"http://author.mattcole.us/wp-content/uploads/2018/03/bull_cbs_michael_weatherly_promo.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"370\" height=\"208\" />\n<p>\nIn the recent episode 13 of season 2, titled \"Grey Areas\", Bull assist an old friend accused of mall-practice. The description for the episode is below.\n<blockquote>The TAC team helps Bull defend his former colleague, psychotherapist Donovan Benanti (<a href=\"https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/C.J._Wilson_(actor)\">C.J. Wilson</a>), who is accused of malpractice when one of his patients commits a double-murder/suicide. Bull faces a moral and legal dilemma when Benanti reveals additional damning information about his sessions with the patient, as the conversations fall under attorney-client privilege.</blockquote>\n&nbsp;\n<p>\nDuring this episode, Bull stated the psychologist were the ones teaching the CIA how to mentally torture their victims. Interested I did a cursory search and yes, this is true.\n<p>\n<strong>The CIA Contractors</strong>\n<p>\nThe CIA contractors who helped develop and operate the \"enhanced interrogation techniques\" that the agency used on terror suspects, including waterboarding, were paid more than $80 million, according to the Senate Select Committee on Intelligence report on the CIA's interrogation program released Tuesday.\n<p>\nThe contract was for more than $180 million, but the contractors had only received $81 million when their contract was terminated in 2009.\n<p>\n<blockquote>Although the committee identified the contractors via pseudonyms, NBC News has previously identified them as Mitchell, Jessen &amp; Associates, a Spokane, Washington, company run by two psychologists, Dr. John \"Bruce\" Jessen and Dr. James Mitchell, who had both previously worked with the U.S. Air Force. (Windrem, 2014 Dec 9)</blockquote>\n<p>\nThe article goes on to say in addition to the $180 million dollar deal, it also provided two principals with $1000-a-day tax-free retainers.\n<p>\n<blockquote>John Rizzo, the acting CIA general counsel who met with the psychologists, wrote in his book, \"Company Man,\" that he found some of what Mitchell and Jessen were recommending \"sadistic and terrifying.\" One technique, he wrote, was \"so gruesome that the Justice Department later stopped short of approving it.\" (Windrem, 2014 Dec 9)</blockquote>\n<p>\n<strong>SERE Training</strong>\n<p>\nThe article also comments on SERE training, a \"list of exploitation and interrogation techniques that had been effective against Americans\". The CIA wanted a rush on this request. SERE training is officially a mnemonic for Survival, Evasion, Resistance and Escape.\n<p>\nHowever, another reporter explained it is more of a hazing ritual. In the article the attendee served in the Marine Corps in the 90’s,\n<p>\n\n<blockquote>While I was in the school, I lived like an animal. I was hooded, beaten, starved, stripped naked, and hosed down in the December air until I became hypothermic. At one point, I could not speak because I was shivering so hard. Thrown into a 3-by-3-foot cage with only a rusted coffee can to piss into, I was told that the worst had yet to come. I was violently interrogated three times. When I forgot my prisoner number, I was strapped to a gurney and made to watch as a fellow prisoner was water-boarded a foot away from me. I will never forget the sound of that young sailor choking, seemingly near death, paying for my mistake. I remember only the sound because, try as I might, I could not force myself to look at his face. I was next. But for some reason, the guards just dropped the hose on my chest, the water soaking my uniform.\n<p>\nI was incarcerated at SERE for only a few days, but my mind quickly disintegrated. I became convinced that I was being held in an actual prisoner of war camp. Training had stopped, from my point of view. We had crossed over into some murky shadow land where the regulations no longer applied. I was sure that my captors, who wore Warsaw Pact-style uniforms and spoke with thick Slavic accents, would go all the way if the need arose. (Morris, 2009 Jan 29)</blockquote>\n<p>\n<strong>Back to the CIA</strong>\n<p>\nThose survivors of the torture sued the contractor psychologists who designed the programs post 9/11.\n<p>\n<blockquote>In an extraordinary step, psychologists James Mitchell and Bruce Jessen now face a federal lawsuit for their role in convincing the <a href=\"https://www.theguardian.com/us-news/cia\" data-link-name=\"auto-linked-tag\" data-component=\"auto-linked-tag\">CIA</a> to subject terror suspects to mock drowning, painful bodily contortions, sleep and dietary deprivation and other methods long rejected by much of the world as torture. (Ackerman, 2015 Oct 13)\n<p>\nBen Soud, who now lives in his native Libya, was taken to a CIA black site in Afghanistan, and for extended periods permitted “sleep only for minutes at a time because of painful stress positions, constant blaring music, and guards banging loudly on the door of his cell every hour or so”, the suit claims. Guards paraded him naked around the black site for “15 minutes every half hour through the night and into the morning”, according to the Senate report.\n<p>\nAlthough the CIA only acknowledges waterboarding three detainees – Abu Zubaydah, Khalid Shaikh Mohammed and Abdul al-Rahim al-Nashiri – the lawsuit claims the agency subjected Ben Soud to a “form of waterboarding”. (Ackerman, 2015 Oct 13)</blockquote>\n<p>\nAs of 2017, I found this on the lawsuit.\n<p>\nCase 2:15-cv-00286-JLQ    ECF No. 261    filed 08/17/17\n<p>\n<img class=\"size-full wp-image-1013 aligncenter\" src=\"http://author.mattcole.us/wp-content/uploads/2018/03/Case-2-15-cv-00286-JLQ.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"719\" height=\"869\" />\n<p>\n<strong>References:</strong>\n<p>\nRobert Windrem.
