      The greater concern is that the position America picks always represents their own personal interests above the responsibility to keep world currencies and finances stable. Ivanka wouldn’t have changed that dynamic much.

    I’m interested in hearing how the the construction of ZoneHaven is going.

      Named it
      And we too are anxious to discover their progress

    • P says:

      ZH’s has reached the stage of definite positioning. The politics of who, what, and when are still in play. As on the politics of “where” have been solved this is a project experiencing the speed of construction that only those who have witnessed the efficiency of ˇÓ´ ˇÂ∏´‰Ø‰ have come to expect. As such the construction of ZH is almost complete.

      • PrP says:

        That’s great news. Really happy to hear you are all working together so well for the collective good

        • D/x6 says:

          The collective good has nothing to do with it. The ´Â∏´‰ˆØ‰ and Óˆß ˝®åç´are the factors that force this situation.

          It is our majority opinion that those left without MotherShips should serve where we put them.

    H4/7, when you are using your light gun to determine the shape and distance of an object in an area, remember to take in consideration that creatures on earth can experience cell growth acceleration when exposed to those light waves.

    • H^4/9 says:

      As we are using light waves rather than radio waves we do not see the need to take that precaution.

      • II^1 says:

        You are using light waves because the objects that you are seeking are in the nanometer range. Human cells are affected in the nanometer range. Fix it or expect the ´Â∏´‰Ø‰’s reaction to that endangerment.

    Some of you are using equipment to post here that activate encryption. That causes delayed activation here.

  5. Amira says:

    I agree that she is “wonderfully wordy.” I also like the fact that her sentiments are genuinely felt and expressed as apposed to those by creatures who use words to affect a cause or mood.

  6. Usha says:

    PrP, I would like to comment on your previous article about rape. I live in a country where it is practically accepted as a right of growth for men to rape women. The men here use religion as weapon to force women to obey their concept of what a female should be allowed to do. We are but Pussys they tolerate because of the pleasure forcing their tiny dicks into our vaginas give them.

    Rape needs to be revenged by real violence against those that practice it.

    • PrP says:

      I’m sorry to hear that you have to live under these conditions. Society is definitely unfair to women. I don’t know what the answer to solving this is. I don’t generally advocate violence. However it’s often necessary to use it to defend yourself. And rape is definitely violent so I can’t say it’s not acceptable in this situation.

      • Kate says:

        Why wouldn’t it be acceptable. Should the woman just accept her fate if a man won’t bring her justice? I was raped by my neighbor when I was 13. I spent the next 5 years looking of a boy who would kill the bastard for me. When that didn’t work, I went after his son. He was 6 years older than I was. When I was 19 I seduced him and put rat poison in his drink. When he collapsed I handcuffed him to a pipe in his garage and injected him with bleach. I taped it and sent it to his father. I told him it was revenge for when he raped me when I was 13.
        He is a powerful rich man, so I had to escape to _______. I told him I would return to get his other son. That was 11 years ago. I am preparing to do just that this month. Wish me luck.

    • PrP says:

      This, from Philadelphia. (the city of brotherly love?) All women suffer, all across the globe. IMHO men who do nothing when they see it happen are just as guilty as the rapist.

      • Brian says:

        What is wrong with the men in America? If you saw this in a movie, you say no way that could happen in America. All those who did nothing just made the safety of themselves and their loved ones less safe. Criminals are not aware that no one will interfere it they assault someone in broad daylight. Disgusting, despicable and Cowardly behavior.

      • Brain says:

        What happened to my post?

      • Gaudí says:

        I married an American I didn’t love to get away from India. It appears that women are as much in peril here as anywhere. There should be more Kates in this world. My sister who encouraged me to marry my American, did so because she was encouraged by the American women who posted to Michell’s blog. I was too young to understand how the experience affected her.
        She was a force in Kolkata for women’s rights until she disappeared 2 years ago.

    On earth one of the differences between men and women is the degree of intimacy they are willing to open themselves up to. This intimacy is not limited to just a sexual one. It includes all forms of relationships not just sexual ones. Most aliens don’t understand intimacy. Hence, they often get blindsided by it. The result is they form a bond between themselves and the human they come to share that intimacy with. They do it on the same level the human does it on.

    Since earth women go to a much deeper level, the male aliens that form an intimacy bond with them develop a bond akin to romantic love with them. They may not associate their commitment to their human female with the emotion love, but our scientists say it is the same type of total commitment humans have towards each other when they are “madly” in love with each other.

    This is a dangerous predicament for aliens and their MotherShips. If the bond of obedience to their MotherShip is eroded by the bond created when a deep intimacy is formed between the alien and the human, rebellion can occur. It can manifest itself in insidious forms of disobedience to the MotherShip.

    • Eric says:

      Another difference between men and women is men accept the concept that sex is just sex. Women who allow any man to just drop cum in her vagina like it was a public ashtray shouldn’t expect to be treated like she is anything special.

  9. H says:

    Human males can fall in love with the illusion he believes the woman is. Aliens accept the woman for who she is and grows with that increasing knowledge of who she shows him that she is. As she evolves from the experiences of her environment through her biological input, the alien continues to bond with her and himself is transformed into an entity that can be both intoxicated by her emotional reactions and believe that those emotions are equivalent to sound logical thinking.

    The alien is at this point is in need of intervention. Actually something should be done to determine the inclination towards this state before it is reached because “intervention” may be useless if the bond is significant.

    While greedy Americans fund China. What does the American government think a totalitarian regime would do with all that extra cash? Fucking whiteboys in America would sell their mother’s ashes for a few dollars.

  11. E/5 says:

    He said, “I’m rich, that’s why I’m here. I can afford to be here.” Then I beamed him up. He looked so afraid. I said “yes, I am an alien, and you are aboard a space ship.” He said, “I’d prefer to be back on earth.” I noticed the fear in his eyes, and I could smell the fear reeking from his body. I said, “I’m sure you would, but can you afford to be there?” He looked at me and asked what would it cost him as he made attempts to assure me that this would be our little secret.

    I smiled as I ripped his arm from his shoulder blade. I made sure he wouldn’t feel any pain. Well some pain, but not enough to blackout. I wanted him to know that he had picked the wrong woman to cheat on. After I told him that I had discovered his cheating, all he was concerned about was whether I was going to allow him to return to earth. I assured him I would as I ripped off his right leg from the hip. This time I let him feel all the pain, but not enough to blackout. I really enjoy my food watching me eat it.

      You are one sick bitch

      • E`5 says:

        Say that to me when I’m in your neighbor hood canvassing for horny dudes. If we hook up and become a couple, I take exception being cheated on. That gets the guy a ride on space balloon, and a seat at my dinner table.

      TMI, just saying.

      • Laura says:

        Ditto,

        • Casandra says:

          Steve is a man. I can understand his self serving reply, but Laura are you an idiot? How much information would be acceptable to you? I was empowered by her post. My rapist was acquitted because I was intoxicated and the jury of 9 men and 3 women said that they couldn’t convict because he could have believed that I accepted him sodomizing me.
          The 3 women voted to convict. But the DA refused to retry the case.

    • Patricia says:

      OMG, if only I had your strength.

    • George says:

      Why is it ok for women to post about hurting men, but a guy can’t post about taking a little pussy?

  12. R says:

    In my country, women have become animals to be bargained for like donkeys or camels by men. Depending on what part of Afghanistan they are from, their first intimate sexual experience is with a camel or donkey.
    We are but talking camels or donkeys to these men.
    If we don’t obey, we are disciplined in the same manner as one of their animals would be. If only I had the power to kill these animals, I would gladly do so and delight in posting the story in intimate detail.
    I thank all females for their inspiring stories.

    • L says:

      I live in India. It is no better here. Our religion is but a sham used by men to oppress us women.

  13. Douglas says:

    LeI and others,
    It has been a long time since I have communicated on this site. It has also been a while after spending years participating and communicating on Michelle’s old site and as her husband.

    I was informed to let you all know, by posting this on “the Avenue”, of a dream that I had the other night. It was of my friend Tsarme. It has been a while since I have received any “message” from him. But, I had a dream the other night with which I believe he was communicating to me, again. It was that the random radio wave signals that are coming from the middle of the Milky Way are a signal from him that is getting spit out of the wormhole he has been trapped in.

    As I said, it has been a while, at least in my linear timeline, that I have communicated or even heard about the situation and where things stand with Tsarme. So, I am unaware of the current conditions of his perdicament, but have received “messages” from him over the past few years. I am concerned, as I consider him a good friend indeed, and hope that this may offer some information to those who might be able to help him in his quandry. If he is still in such a state.

    I hope this can be of assistance to him if he is indeed in need.

    As there is no time in a BlackHole, we suggest a continuum around the recent event.

    • D^9/29 says:

      My suggestion is that you join us at the Rof where your suggestion will receive the proper attention. This is not a note of disrespect. Your ship is highly respected. We believe that if there is a message attempting to be sent, it could have been lost in the current events. However, someone may have seen an anomaly that could denote a message unrecognized. Heads together are better than lone speculation. Even if that lone speculation is very much on point.

  15. LeI says:

    J(~/8, you are approved for your earthquake. Insure that it is no larger than needed to make your point. The message you sent to their government asked for an accomplishable action. If the government refuses, we approve a modest increase in the severity, and an additional volcanic, or sea response.

  16. V^4[91 says:

    U\>/3, Your action was approved for Russia, but your coordinates register in Alaska. The size of the event makes it imperative that you not make a mistake. No other action is approved before you submit the coordinates you intend to implement the event upon.

    “Mostly, we don’t want to harm each other…”

    God, I wish that were true.
