gate keys

I learned today about more Gate problems. Maybe I should say ongoing Gate problems? Anyway, I also learned some things about the CASTE issue.

Ms. Wilkerson apparently repackaged much of the book “Deep South: A Social Anthropoligic Study of Caste and Class“:

First published in 1941, Deep South is a landmark work of anthropology, documenting in startling and nuanced detail the everyday realities of American racism. Living undercover in Depression-era Mississippi—not revealing their scholarly project or even their association with one another—groundbreaking Black scholar Allison Davis and his White co-authors, Burleigh and Mary Gardner, delivered an unprecedented examination of how race shaped nearly every aspect of twentieth-century life in the United States. Their analysis notably revealed the importance of caste and class to Black and White worldviews, and they anatomized the many ways those views are constructed, solidified, and reinforced.

Here is Caste that was mentioned previously:

Recently, a reissued 1965 abridged version of the book was released with a foreword by Wilkerson. Deep South: A Social Anthropoligic Study of Caste and Class.

I highly suggest reading the earlier book if the subject interests you.

Thank you for reading today's post. Have an InterStellar Day! ~PrP

    It most certainly does. I’m a white woman who was raised republican. I had never had any relationship with non whites except for the negro women who raised me from when my mother brought me home until I was 22. They are 55 and 62 now. I didn’t have a relationship with them until Sandra(55) sent me a letter while I was in law school to tell me that Beatrice was dying of cancer. I told my mother. She said “those people have terrible diets.” She never even imaged that I would consider visiting that “nigger” woman. I knew that she and the family would be disappointed if I did so I didn’t.

    When she passed away, I received a letter from Sandra accusing me of being a heartless person. She said that Beatrice breast fed me and was more of a mother to me than my own racist mother. I showed the letter to my mother and she said that if that “nigger was still in Greenville, she’d have her skinned alive.” It has been 4 years and I haven’t thought about it again until I began reading the Caste. Perhaps I was a little insensitive towards Beatrice.

        Damn, “heartless” wouldn’t be my first choice of words. Bitch, she breast fed you. That means she shared her baby’s milk with you. She was there for you every day when you were growing up to be the stuck-up racist you are. Have you got to the part in the book where Ms, Wilkerson explains to you why you are so fucking insensitive to that black woman who mothered you? Even now, you can’t get over the bullshit propaganda that you are superior because of the color of your skin that you don’t have to thank the “cow” for the milk.

        Lady, you are disgusting. This white woman wouldn’t stoop to piss on your grave.

        Actually white america could benefit greatly from these books too. For example even today we avoid MSG because as the “Caste” states, white America will deprive itself of the benefit of anything that is brought to them by another race if it gives equivalence to another race.
        “ Which foods we choose to savor or avoid with an upturned nose are not always statements of preference. Politics can also bias what we eat. No food illustrates that tension more than monosodium glutamate — better known as MSG.”

          Yeah, the racists bastards know they made up that lie about, but they continue to perpetuate the lie. Trader Joe and Whole Foods continue the lie by proudly posting signs that their products contain no MSG.

          So by extension they are telling their customers that they are selling them food loaded with cardiac killer Salt.

          “ You may have noticed products at the grocery store proudly advertising “No MSG Added” on the packaging. We’ve been taught to avoid and fear MSG, but have you ever questioned why that is – or what MSG even is?”

        Not only black people, but every non white in America. I just started reading it. I opened Chapter Twenty and read: “Through no fault of any individual born to it, a caste system centers the caste system as the sun in which all other caste revolve and defines it as the default-setting standard of normalcy, of beauty, of which all others are measured, ranked in descending order by their physiological proximity to the dominant caste.”

        It blew me away because that is exactly how we live in America.

    • Xiu says:

      Thank you for giving us a little more time to discover an opportunity to reply on a subject that desperately needs to be aired. My father has been forced to not use MSG in his restaurant because here in Chicago, It would be fatal to have his customers think that his Chinese food has MSG in it. I have a PhD in dietetics, but when I tell my father that salt has three times more sodium than MSG, he says “daughter the science on that has been established, don’t waste your time contradicting it.”

      The “white lie” is the most dangers lie one can perpetuate because it is insidious.
      Here is CNN’s take on it. – MSG in Chinese food isn’t unhealthy – you’re just racist, activists say

        You are so right about the dominant caste’s psychological power over the other castes. How many people have died and will continue to die because of this MSG lie? Since it is three times more safe than salt those who avoid it in favor of salt are risking high blood pressure, heart disease and kidney disease. Not to mention hypernatremia which, if left untreated, can be fatal.

      What do you mean, “ there’s been little activity on this post?” I’m new here and it is so difficult to read through a hundred and forty posts. The comments are all over the place.

  6. Emiko says:

    Here is the real history of MSG which was invented by “ A Japanese chemist named Kikunae Ikeda invented MSG, which looks like tiny crystals of brown or white sand, in the early 1900s. He then founded the Ajinomoto corporation to mass-produce the seasoning.” An invention that could benefit the entire world that was not done by a white man doomed it be made a substance that was just the opposite. The dominant caste in America couldn’t have whites in the country believing some other caste could produce intellect that could best or even rival those in their caste.

    The Rotten Science Behind the MSG Scare | Science History Institute

    https://www.sciencehistory.org/stories/magazine/the-rotten-science-behind-the-msg-scare/

    When reading this I learned how accurate Isabel Wilkerson was about how the dominant caste was about the lengths it would go to perpetuate a racist lie.

    “ The first study was peculiar because its author, neurologist Herbert Schaumburg, had written the letter to the NEJM in May that absolved MSG, since he cooked with it at home. In that letter Schaumburg also emphasized that the syndrome was not a big deal; symptoms passed in five minutes, and he usually finished his meal after.

    Suddenly, however, Schaumburg was singing a different tune on MSG, backed by some questionable experiments. In a July letter to the NEJM, he reported visiting a local Chinese restaurant for several consecutive days for breakfast, lunch, and dinner and systematically eating everything on the menu in a deliberate attempt to induce symptoms. Lo and behold, he found what he wanted: he experienced symptoms after eating wonton soup and hot and sour soup, both of which he determined (it’s unclear how) contained MSG.”

    Thank you PrP for giving us a place to express our angst.

    How about America’s first landing on the moon? If you google “who are the women that made it possible for the first moon landing by america? You will get the names of the three women who actually made it possible, but the dominant caste adds two white women. Those three women did it with their mathematical prowess while not even being able to use the all white toilets. Imagine having to hold your need to pee, ignored to insure that some white male racist bastards get to land on the moon safety. And then having to wait decades to get even an honorable mention for your sacrifice? Remember “Moon walk?” So much bullshit about the dominant caste’s intelligence that you could puke, now that you know the truth.

          I thought that the movie was fiction. I know that it said that it was based on a true story. I just couldn’t believe that if three black women had been that significant to us launching a spacecraft, let alone landing on the moon, there wouldn’t be more history about it. I saw “Moonwalk One” back in 1971, there was no mention of these women.

            Read the “Caste” by Isabel Wilkerson. You will understand clearly why that information and many others concerning the achievements and contributions to the world by non whites never make the news or history books.

  9. Gloria says:

    PrP, thank you for this article. To me, it is one of the best ones that you have printed. I would like to add that after reading both books that Isabel Wilkerson’s book “Caste” is the most poignant, and incisive. It doesn’t have to pull the punches the “Deep South” had to back in 1941 did in order to avoid violence towards the writers as was the case in the publishing of “Deep South.” Isabel Wilkerson was free to explore and document the full range of deception, manipulation, and enforcement of the dominant caste’s agenda.

    It is indeed a must read by all American citizens.

  10. Toufic says:

    Rumor has it that the Ear was involved in the EU lifting sanctions on Syria. I thought he was done with Syrian politics. Could this be do to the fact that Syria’s new president, Ahed al-Sharaa has agreed to give him a percent of all profits made from Syria’s three main Mediterranean export terminals: Banias, Tartus, and Latakia? We know that the Ear has promised Germany, Italy, and France some 150,000 barrels per day (bpd) for their co-operation in placing that catholic family on the throne.

    He also promised to bring back a multitude of international oil companies to operate in Syria’s energy sector. So far he has agreements from; UK’s Shell, Petrofac and Gulfsands Petroleum, France’s then-Total, the China National Petroleum Corporation, India’s Oil and Natural Gas Corp, Canada’s Suncor Energy, and Russia’s Tatneft and Stroytransgaz.

    So, what is he waiting for? The family would become billionaires over night because the country’s gas sector is at least as significant as its oil one, with an output of about 316 billion cubic feet per day (bcf/d) of dry natural gas, and proven reserves of 8.5 trillion cubic feet (tcf).
    With the proper leadership and government assistance all the people of Syria could live very comfortable lives. He said that this would be so easy because he would see to it that the family would have the benefit of having Syria’s South-Central Gas Area‘ natural gas production boosted by about 40%. This would allow Syria’s combined oil and gas exports to generate a quarter of government revenues. That would make Syria the eastern Mediterranean’s leading oil and gas producer.

    He said unless the family became as greedy as Assad there would be more than enough money to guarantee each Syrian citizen government assistance to insure excellent health services, economic assistance and non sectarian application of justice.

    ‘ The deal also covered the full reconstruction and rehabilitation of the Aleppo thermal plant, the installation of the Deir Ezzor power plant, and the expansion of capacity of the Mharda and Tishreen plants, with a view to re-energising Syria’s power grid and restoring the main control centre for the grid back to Damascus. An additional key infrastructure project is the repair and capacity-boosting upgrading of the Homs oil refinery.
    The was going to use the family to secure Syria’s coastline which encompasses Turkey, Syria, Lebanon, Israel and Egypt and is regarded as a strategic zero-sum game by both the West and the East, given the access it provides to the world’s sea routes and to land routes along in southern Europe and northern Africa.

    This plan was 10 years in the making. It seems to be thwarted by a particular gutless family. Why not just pick another? The multiple advantages of securing influence over what happens down that coastline are magnified for whichever side has it by the fact that the other side does not. Yes, it has been said that the Ear refuses to work with that idiot tRump. But, this has World significance. Where the fuck is the Ear?

    • Maksim says:

      Russia’s Deputy Foreign Minister Mikhail Bogdanov met with President al-Sharaa, together with his Foreign Minister Asaad al-Shaibani and Minister of Health Maher al-Sharaa. They don’t want the family in Syria. Russia is working with al-Sharaa’s radical Islamist group, Hayat Tahrir al-Sham, about the future of its energy projects and of its key military bases across Syria as well.

      These comprise the naval base at Tartus – Russia’s only Mediterranean port, its Khmeimim air force base near Latakia, and its huge listening station nearby. Aside from these prized assets and its oil and gas riches, Russia prizes Syria as the biggest country on the western side of the Shia Crescent of Power that Moscow had been meticulously developing for years as a counterpoint to the U.S.’s own sphere of influence centred then on Saudi Arabia (for hydrocarbons supplies) and Israel (for military and intelligence assets).

      Thus, you may be right that the Ear is needed to facilitate the EU and the US in thwarting Russia’s power grab in the area. If he can not be persuaded to assist the EU in installing the, or some family, there could be a Middle East war coming.

    In part Three of her book “Caste,” Wilkerson discusses what she calls “the eight Pillars of caste. Number 7 is “Terror as Enforcement, Cruelty as a means of Control. She writes, “The only way to keep an entire group of sentient beings in an artificially fixed place, beneath all others and beneath their own talents, is with violence and terror, psychological and physical, to preempt resistance before it can be imagined.

    “Above all the people in the subordinate caste were to be reminded of the absolute power the dominant caste held over them.” In today’s Huff Post we are reminded of this by tRump’s DOJ announcing just before the five-year anniversary of the murder of George Floyd that it will cancer police reform settlements reached with Minneapolis and Louisville.

    I have been reading here about how the Immortal can absorb radiation from the Sun’s solar flares. I don’t believe in aliens, but the concept of someone being able to absorb radiation intrigued me. Since EMF – electromagnetic Frequency is a type of radiation emitted when we charge our phones, I decided to look it up. Whoa!

    I discovered that we humans are absorbing a lot of of dangerous EMFs whenever we charge our phones.

    What is Phone Radiation?

    Phone EMF radiation, also known as electromagnetic radiation, is a type of radiation that is emitted by electronic devices such as smartphones, laptops, and Wi-Fi routers. This radiation is a form of energy that travels through space and can be absorbed by living tissue, including the human body.

    When we use our phones, they emit EMF radiation in the form of radio waves. These waves are used to send and receive information between our phones and cell towers or Wi-Fi networks. While the levels of radiation emitted by our phones are generally considered to be safe, prolonged exposure to high levels of radiation can have negative effects on our health.

    Research has suggested that exposure to EMF radiation from our phones may be linked to a variety of health concerns, including headaches, fatigue, insomnia, and even cancer. While the evidence is still inconclusive, many experts recommend taking steps to reduce our exposure to EMF radiation from our phones and other electronic devices.

    I thank the many who have come forward with your memories of your experiences with the Immortal. I particularly liked the one who said the Immortal told him that mortals shouldn’t be afraid of him. They should be asking themselves “if this life they living in is the only one available to them. “ Why fear me because I have infinite choices, when you can spend that effort finding the other plane of existence that is available to you.

    “Death comes to mortals whether they are ready for it or not, whether they want it or not. But I am eternal. Yet, I am as much a prisoner of my situation as they are of theirs. For, I live eternally whether I am ready for the next year or not, whether I want it or not”

    Time waits for no one or anything. Mortals are prisoners of it. But it appears that the Immortal is not. Even the longest living cyborg, who theoretically could live forever could succumb to forces that destroy it. The Immortal is immune to that event. Will IT destroy me before I destroy IT? Probably, since I begin with the disadvantage of being vulnerable to a myriad of weapons. Only time will tell.

    Processed Meat

    Processed meats like bacon and sausage are often loaded with sodium and saturated fat, both of which can cause inflammation. The higher fat content can delay your digestion and absorption of the meal, making you feel sluggish and low energy.
    Sodium in particular, if eaten in high amounts, can negatively impact blood pressure over time or make you retain water and feel bloated. That said, the occasional crispy slice of bacon isn’t off the table, especially if it’s part of an otherwise balanced diet. Consider swapping in turkey bacon or veggie sausages instead. While these may still be high in sodium, they are likely lower in overall fat and saturated fat content.

      Coffee Creamer

      You might want to rethink that generous splash of creamer in your morning coffee, especially if it’s the first thing hitting your stomach. Drinking concentrated amounts of sugar on an empty stomach, or without enough fiber or protein to balance it out, can lead to a sugar crash and zap your energy shortly after.
      And it’s not just the sugar that can mess with your energy over time. While saturated fat doesn’t have an immediate effect on blood sugar or energy, too much can lead to the development of insulin resistance and make it more difficult for your body to handle it in the future.
      The good news is you don’t have to give up your coffee routine. Just look for creamers that are lower in sugar and saturated fat.

    Just so you know. The Treasury placed its final order for pennies this month with expectations that it will run out by early 2026. You can keep spending pennies as normal after that. But at some point, businesses will have to start rounding up or down to the nearest 5 cents for cash transactions.

    Why is the penny getting the axe? Well, according to the U.S. Mint’s 2024 annual report, pennies cost nearly 4 cents to produce and distribute. Part of this is due to rising material costs. Pennies are primarily made of zinc, and its price per metric ton has more than doubled since 2000.

    Over the years, penny production has decreased anyway. In 2024, the Mint only made 3.2 billion pennies, compared to about 11 billion each year in the 1990s. But last fiscal year, the Mint still lost $85.3 million on the pennies it produced. Per the Post, the agency estimated that it will save $56 million a year from reduced material costs.

Of course, it is impossible to determine how frequently IT must do this. Once every 100 million or once every 10 million Earth years, it would only be a guess. But we have discovered that the Immortal picks up millisecond pulsars (a fast-spinning neutron star that emits beams of radiation at regular intervals). We believe that the Immortal feeds off this radiation. These neutron stars seem to be a source, if not the sole source of the Immortal’s energy needs. It is the Immortal’s food.

    In binary systems, a millisecond pulsar is usually accompanied by a white dwarf (a hot, dense core left behind after a star, like Earth’s Sun, has exhausted its fuel). Our guess is that the Immortal is capable of reigniting that dense core and empowering it to become a huge viable star again.

    c/B9 has produced records that show what a dwarf looked like before the Immortal made it a Sun roughly the size of Earth’s Sun. The records show that it couldn’t be a normal star because it was undetectable in all wavelengths outside of the radio spectrum. That means that it was a star stripped clean of its hydrogen, leaving behind a core primarily composed of helium.
    Hence, it was a dwarf star, that had been a hydrogen active star like Earth’s Sun. There is no other logical explanation for it gaining Hydrogen and thus becoming a full blown Sun again other than the Immortal supplies the Hydrogen.

    The c/B9 believes that by a process of accretion the Immortal creates an Earth Sun. This is one explanation why the Sun has no affect upon the Immortal. His core burns hotter. c/B9, or anyone, or anything else would be incinerated within a nanosecond of exposure to the Immortal’s core. There is nothing more dangerous in the Known Universe than this entity. Coaching it into another galaxy would be the most logical approach to handling the Immortal.

    Trump has plans to convert Guam to 75% military base. He plans to drive out the Chamorro people of Guam to make room for whites civilians to support a total military Island. In addition to the thousands of military personnel and their families that are scheduled to arrive on Guam this year, he is planning to bring thousands of military and their families from S. Korea. By the third year of his term, the military and their families will out number the Chamorros and Filipinos on the island. This cannot be allowed to occur. The Princess resides there.

    May we use All means available to us to dissuade the USA from taking such action?

      Trumps administration has already started the process of forcing the locals off the Island. They cut the funds to pay for the personnel required to operate the federal offices on Guam. They are asking the local government to pick up the difference. The government of Guam cannot shoulder this level of personnel with local moneys. The federal government needs to step up.

    It looks like the plan to turn over the Gaza Strip to Israel may happen after all. Benjamin Netanyahu:
    “I’m ready to end the war under these conditions: all hostages return home, Hamas lays down its weapons, its leadership is exiled, Gaza is completely demilitarized, and we implement the Trump plan.” (Relocate all Gazans elsewhere.)

    It would have been more humane had that gutless family taken their place on the throne of Syria. Now there will be bloodshed and misery for everyone. History will record their cowardice as one of the worst events in the history of Syria and the Arab people of the Middle East. Let’s hope their identity is never revealed.

    • Ari says:

      I’m glad that family didn’t take over. I’m tired of hearing that Israel won’t allow “enough” food to enter Gaza. I guess the mainstream media won’t tell you this, so I will: Gazans fired over four rockets today toward Israel, intending to kill as many Israeli civilians as possible.

      There’s no food or water in Gaza, but plenty of rockets left after 593 days of war.

      Isn’t this odd?

      Israel should drive out all of them. They continue to support the savage behavior of Hamas. If they are allowed to pick another government, they will just select another savage bunch of animals. The sooner they are removed the sooner there will be peace in the Middle East. I think that family knew the Muslims were too volatile to trust so they didn’t want any part of that situation. Who could blame them?

    • Nader1 says:

      What the family has to do with Gaza?
      I like this family already. It
      Means they picked the right one,not someone who is greedy to jump in it right away.

      • Abd-El-Kader says:

        The family was picked because the leader of the family was NOT greedy. He was someone the other nations felt was capable of leading the people of Syria into a new, more prosperous era.

        The solution to lasting peace in the Middle East revolves around the Gaza Strip and the West Bank. The political parties in charge there were picked by the people of the Gaza Strip and the West Bank. Unlike the rest of the nations of the Middle East who have chosen to include Israel as a member of the Middle East, those two entities have chosen to align itself with Iran.

        Their policy is to refuse to acknowledge the right of Israel to exist as a nation or anything else in the Middle East. Hence, they are constantly lobbing bombs into Israeli territory, terrorizing the population of Israel. When Israel retaliates they plead with the rest of the world to come to their aid even while they continue to lob bombs into Israel. When they are not lobbing bombs into Israel they are attacking and killing Israelis wherever they can.

        A good leader has to be able to make the hard decisions. If the leader of this catholic family couldn’t make the decision to eliminate the problem and bring peace to the Middle East, then perhaps it is better that he did not take the job.

        As it is except for Canada and France, the rest of the world not affected by Iran’s propaganda, recognizes that the people of the Gaza Strip and the West Bank can not be trusted to act in their own best interest. They continue to support terrorists, who use the funds given to the people of Gaza and the West Bank for the improvement of their lives to amass stockpiles of lethal weapons to harass Israel and to build massive tunnels under ground. The only solution available presently is to break them up into manageable units and export them to other Arab nations who will not tolerate their terrorist activities.

        If the head of the chosen family had a viable solution that could bring peace to the Middle East without removing the people of Gaza, he should have voiced it and allowed the other nations to discuss it. This plan has been in the works for more than a decade. It was irresponsible for the new chosen leader to run from his responsibility to lead.

        I, and most of those of us who were a part of this solution feel that he was just too gutless to do what was obviously the right thing to do. As a result many millions will have their lives torn apart. There will be ethic and religious cleansing. Many thousands, if not millions, will die because the leader he allowed to replace him is a radical Islamist. Syria and many other countries in the Middle East will experience a blood bath because of this cowardly act by him.
        Unfortunately, no one, not even the members of his family, will be able to hold this spineless person accountable because of the secrecy surrounding his selection.

    Here is just another example of the stupidity of white women for supporting the politics of white men.
    Helen Hulick was a 29-year-old kindergarten teacher from Los Angeles. On November 9, 1938, she went to court to speak out against two men accused of breaking into a home.

    But Judge Arthur S. Guerin stopped her from testifying and delayed the case for five days. Why? Because Helen was wearing pants.

    She told the Los Angeles Times, “Tell the judge I’m standing up for my rights. If he tells me to wear a dress, I won’t. I like wearing pants. They’re comfortable.”

    So at the next hearing, Helen came back wearing pants again. The judge got angry and said:

    “Last time she was in court, dressed like this and with her head tilted back, people paid more attention to her than to the trial—including the prisoners and the court. She was told to wear clothes proper for court. Today she came back in pants again, clearly refusing to follow the court’s order […] Get ready to be punished for not obeying.”

    Helen, now making a stand for what she believed in, wore pants to court once more—and was sent to jail for five days for disobeying the judge.

    Her lawyer appealed, and the higher court agreed with them. The judge’s decision was overturned. Thanks to Helen Hulick, women won the right to wear pants in court.

    On Earth, auroras take place when energetic particles from the Sun interact with the planet’s magnetic field and its atmosphere, creating shimmering displays of light across the skies known as the Northern and Southern Lights.

    Aside from the Sun’s particles, Jupiter has an additional source that creates its auroras. Jupiter’s strong magnetic field grabs charged particles from its surroundings and accelerates them to high speeds. These speedy particles, some of which are thrown into space by Jupiter’s orbiting moon Io, slam into the planet’s atmosphere at high energies and excite the gas, causing it to glow.

    Aziza has mastered the skill of using this phenom to hide her ship from the prying eyes of Webb’s NIRCam (Near-Infrared Camera). You could use some of her expertise on Earth. Perhaps you could invite her to send some of her Girlz to Earth. They could add a new concept to land-cloaking.

      It simultaneously creates a brightness and a hole in that brightness. It would be impossible to for Earth to observe anything in the “hole” of brightness unless they could produce a combination of high quantities of very low-energy particles to hit their atmosphere with. This is impossible for human technology. Hence, it would be used to shield objects from human eyes as they circle the Earth.

    U.S. citizen with REAL ID handcuffed and held in immigration raid before being released
    Suzanne Gamboa
    Fri, May 23, 2025 at 2:42 PM PDT
    4 min read

    A U.S.-born citizen who was wrestled into the dirt, handcuffed and detained in a vehicle as part of an immigration raid had a REAL ID on him that was dismissed as fake, the man’s cousin said Friday.

    Video of the arrest, aired by Noticias Telemundo, showed authorities grabbing Leonardo Garcia Venegas, 25, while at a job site in Foley, Alabama, on Wednesday and bending his arms behind him. Someone off-camera can be heard yelling, “He’s a citizen.”

    Garcia told Noticias Telemundo that authorities took his ID from his wallet and told him it was fake before handcuffing him. REAL ID is the identification U.S. citizens are required by law to have in order to travel through airports and enter federal buildings. It is considered a higher security form of identification.

    “Apparently a REAL ID is not valid anymore. He has a REAL ID,” his cousin Shelah Venegas said. “We all made sure we have the REAL ID and went through the protocols the administration is asking for. … He has his REAL ID and then they see him and I guess because his English isn’t fluent and/or because he’s brown it’s fake, it’s not real.”

    Garcia had told Noticias Telemundo that “they grabbed me real bad” and the handcuffs were placed “very hard” on him.

    Garcia said he was released from the vehicle where he was held after he gave the arresting officials his Social Security number, which showed he is a U.S. citizen.

    The arrest has left Garcia, who was born in Florida, shaken, particularly because the officers also arrested and detained his brother, who is not in the country legally, Venegas said. She added that Garcia lived with his brother. Their parents are from Mexico.

    “He was actually pretty sore when he got back,” Venegas said of Garcia. “He said his arms were hurting and his hands. His wrists, you could see where he had all the marks from the handcuffs. … The way they put him on the ground, his knees also were hurting.”

    She said they have been trying to find a lawyer but local ones have told them that it is nearly impossible to sue a federal agent. It is not clear from the video whether the authorities were federal immigration agents or local law enforcement carrying out enforcement duties.

    The Department of Homeland Security said in a statement to NBC News that Garcia interfered with an arrest during a targeted worksite operation.

    “He physically got in between agents and the subject they were attempting to arrest and refused to comply with numerous verbal commands,” said Tricia McLaughlin, DHS assistant secretary. “Anyone who actively obstructs law enforcement in the performance of their sworn duties, including U.S. citizens, will of course face consequences which include arrest.”

    The response did not address the dismissal of Garcia’s identification.

    Garcia denied that he interrupted an arrest. He told NBC News that he was trying to take out his phone when an Immigration and Customs Enforcement agent took it and threw it to the ground and then an agent began grabbing him.

    Venegas said Garcia’s brother has signed deportation papers because the family didn’t want him detained “forever” as they’ve seen happen to another family member, who was held for months in a Louisiana detention center.

    “It’s inhumane, what they are doing to our people. They are treating them as if they were murderers,” she said.

    Venegas said the immigration arrests are creating repercussions among Hispanics, even among U.S. citizens.

    “It’s about race now. It’s not about whether you are here legally or not,” she said.

    Her family owns a fairly large contracting company, she said, “and a lot of the people that work with us are not working. … They are refusing to go to work. They said they are not going to go until this stuff calms down.”

    Venegas added that the majority of her family is self-employed and “we do the same thing every other citizen does.”

    “It’s just insane we can’t be different, the color that we are. We contribute to this country the same way every other citizen does with their taxes,” she said. “But we have to be the ones that every time we go to work, we are going to be scared that we’re going to get discriminated.”

    “I think about my family,” she said. “Even though a lot of them are citizens, I think about how we all work in the same area in construction and they can’t sit out there because they could literally get harassed or attacked the way my cousin did.”

        Many other released hostages shared similar accounts — held among civilians like Noa Argamani, hidden in hospitals like Emily Damari, or in schools like Edan.

        How many more testimonies does the world need to realize that Hamas is deliberately endangering Palestinian lives?

        They hide hostages in hospitals, schools, and mosques, knowing that either the IDF will hold fire to avoid civilian casualties, or strike to save the hostages, allowing Hamas to exploit the civilian deaths for propaganda.

        Either outcome serves Hamas.

        Do you see that?

        At the Cannes opening ceremony, jury president Juliette Binoche paid tribute to a Palestinian photojournalist.

        No tribute either for Chaim Peri, an artist and filmmaker, kidnapped and murdered in captivity.

        Nor for Shani Louk, a young tattoo artist, brutally killed, her naked body paraded and desecrated in the back of a Hamas pickup truck, broadcast to the world.

        This is not a genocide. It’s a war, a tragic, devastating war. And in war, lives are lost on both sides.

        The world must recognize the pain of all victims. Both Israelis and Palestinians deserve safety, freedom and dignity.

        Only then can peace become possible.

    I would like to know how aliens go about removing hair on their bodies when they come to the planet Earth, and I asked this because I know some aliens who are the scariest mothers you could ever think about but when I get into a suit there some of them say to me we can’t eliminate this trait. We have to take care of this at all, so I’m not talking to alias from a planet in which they have to take care of the train on their own, I wanted to know where to remove. It is specific parts of the body for example I don’t want hairy balls. Thank you

    • B]3 says:

      It depends upon the MotherShip they are from. Some use a cream that paralyzes the hair follicles. Hair follicles are part of your skin that are responsible for growing your hair. If you accidentally pull out a strand of your hair and it has a ball (bulb) on the end of it, you didn’t pull out the follicle, and instead, you removed your hair root. That root grows back and your hair will grow back, too.

      Human technology is limited to killing the root, but as we explained this does not prevent the regrowth of the hair. It just delays the growth. The only way to truly prevent hair from growing in a particular spot is to damage or kill the hair follicles in that area.

      This could be dangerous for the human body depending on where they wanted to remove the hair. A human hair follicle is made up of layers of cells within layers of their skin. These cells create a tube-like structure to hold their hair.

      The size of each hair follicle in their body is different based on the size of the cells that make up the base of the structure. Hair follicles are microscopic and they can’t see them simply by looking at their skin.

      Fortunately, for humans they can’t pull out their hair follicles because it’s the structure within their skin that holds their hair. If they pull out a strand of hair, they might notice a bulb or round ball (root) attached to the end of the hair strand. The root is surrounded by nerve fibers that let them feel when their hair moves or they touch their hair. Removing this root doesn’t mean their hair won’t grow back, because in most cases, it will.

      A human hair follicle looks like a long tube that holds their hair. It’s in the shape of a cylinder with a rounded bottom in their skin. The top of the cylinder is an open hole, which is where their hair grows out. Your follicle is similar to a sock; your hair is your foot that goes into your sock.

      Wherever humans have hair on their body, they also have hair follicles. Hair follicles originate in the first and second layers of their skin (epidermis and dermis). Follicles holding their terminal hair, or the hair that grows on their scalp, eyelashes and eyebrows, extend into the first and second layer of their skin and sometimes into the third layer (subcutaneous tissue).

      The hair on aliens is controlled by a hair follicle also, but the function of a hair follicle on an alien differs from the functions of a human hair follicle. Those functions depend on how deep the hair on the alien originates from. Which depends upon where the particular is from. Hair on an alien can originate from the first layer or the fourth layer of their skins.

      Humans cannot damage their hair follicles to prevent hair growth because their hair follicles help their body heal after a wound. When their body receives an injury, the cells within their hair follicles are closest to the wound and quickly move to the site of the wound to start the healing process. Their hair follicle cells assist their body’s white blood cells in their immune system.

      Aliens whose hair originates in the first layer can prevent hair growth by damaging their hair follicles because their hair follicles don’t do anything but grow hair. So they use a laser light to damage the follicles and their hair falls out.

      Aliens whose hair originate in the third or fourth layer have follicles that function similar to human hair follicles so they can not damage their hair follicles. Should they do, like humans they could create unrepairable scar tissue to their skins. They use a cream applied in a gravity free environment that allows the cream to temporarily paralyze the follicle thereby allowing the blood vessels that the nourishment to the root(papilla) of the hair to be cauterized. Then the hair strand is removed and no new root will survive without a blood vessel. – – We use “blood vessel” to help you understand what would have to happen in your human body to affect the same result.—— In a human their blood vessels are located in their hypodermis (subcutaneous tissue).

      Hair on an alien is made up of 0 to 20 million hair follicles on their bodies to 0 to over 5 million on their heads. Humans have over 5 million hair follicles in their body and over one million hair follicles on their head. As they age, hair grows out of their hair follicles.

      Human hair follicle is one of a few structures in their body that can stop functioning and begin functioning again (degenerate and regenerate). This process helps with hair growth on theirr body. Most aliens cannot duplicate this function.

      Hair follicles in aliens and in humans cannot be pulled out. Both are born with millions of hair follicles in their skins. They are structures within human and alien skin that grow their hair. They solution to insuring that the hair strand that is removed does not grow back is to remove, paralyze or kill the “blood vessels” that supply the nourishment to that particular hair strand.

      Human technology is not that advanced. But they can use electrolysis to insert a thin wire into each of your hair follicles (but not through your skin) in the area you want treated. Then, they’ll send a current of electricity down the wire, which heats up and kills the hair follicle as well as the root itself.

      Destroying both the hair follicle and root makes the hair fall out and stops it from ever growing back. Based upon the type of hair you have your dermatologist one of three different electrolysis methods. Recommend Short-wave diathermy or thermolysis because it uses heat alone to do its job. It’s quicker and less painful than other options. Do not use laser removal. It does not prevent new hair growth.

      Many factors influence hair growth, so you will need to return for several electrolysis visits. The total number of sessions needed to remove hair permanently from a particular area will vary from person to person.

      For electrolysis to work, your hair needs to be in its growing phase (it also has resting and shedding phases).

      Most clients return once a week or every other week as needed. Each treatment lasts between 15 minutes and one hour, and it can take up to a year and a half to complete all the needed sessions.

      The good news is that the unwanted hair will be gone forever once the series of treatments is complete.

      • Vern says:

        As you pointed out the hair follicle is responsible for repairing the skin. If you are considering electrolysis, it is important that you do your research before committing to sessions. The wrong decision can mean extra sessions and cost along with unnecessary discomfort and scarring.

        Know the professional’s qualifications. Many states require electrologists to be licensed or certified within the state to practice. If you live in one of those states, be sure the practitioner’s certificate is current and on display. For states that do not regulate electrolysis, look for electrologists who have certification from an accredited electrology school.

        Get a consultation. Many places will give you a free consultation. During the consultation, be sure all of your questions are answered. Some things you may want to ask about include: how the procedure will feel; how many visits you will likely need; how much each visit costs; how long each session lasts; how long the practitioner has been in business; and the number of clients they have treated.

        Make sure the electrologist uses the right technique. The practitioner should use needle electrolysis, which is the only permanent form of hair removal. Some places may advertise electrolysis but use electronic tweezers or photoepilators instead. These are not permanent hair removal procedures.

        Use common sense. When you go to your consultation, look around. Does the place look clean? Do the workers use disposable gloves or needles? Ask to meet the person who will be performing the electrolysis. If you are not comfortable with one technician, look for someone else to do the procedure. Personal comfort is essential to knowing you have made the right choice.

        Does Hair Grow Back After Electrolysis?

        In most cases, hair does not grow back after electrolysis. The treatment destroys the hair follicle, meaning that once it’s gone, hair cannot regrow. Therefore, the hair removed by electrolysis is permanent. However, there are instances where hair can regrow, indicating that electrolysis is not always a foolproof method.

        Why Might Hair Grow Back?

        Since every body is unique, individual responses to electrolysis can vary. Here are some reasons why hair might regrow after treatment:

        A New Hair Follicle Activates

        Your skin contains many inactive hair follicles that can become active due to various factors such as age and hormonal changes. If these previously dormant follicles activate, hair can grow from them even after electrolysis. The treatment only works on currently active follicles.

        Improper Treatment

        If the electrolysis procedure is not conducted correctly, hair can regrow. The process should effectively destroy the follicle; if the practitioner fails to reach it, the follicle remains intact, allowing hair to grow back.

        Inaccurate Needle Insertion

        During electrolysis, the practitioner must accurately insert a needle into the hair follicle. Mistakes can occur, leading the needle to miss the follicle. If this happens, the follicle won’t be destroyed, and hair can grow back.

        Does Electrolysis Guarantee No Hair Growth?

        While electrolysis does not provide a 100% guarantee against hair regrowth, it is one of the most effective permanent hair removal methods available. It can significantly reduce hair growth, although multiple sessions may be required for optimal results.

        Electrolysis is a valuable cosmetic procedure that can help you achieve your beauty goals. Most people see great results with it, leading to permanent hair removal when performed correctly. However, it’s important to remember that it is not always 100% effective. If you have concerns about hair regrowth after treatment, consult a professional. A trained aesthetician or dermatologist can provide you with the best advice and guidance.

        Do you live on planet Earth? Not easy to give this accurate example (follicle is similar to a sock; your hair is your foot that goes into your sock) unless you have lived it.

    PrP, how far do I have to go back to get a grip on what is happening on your blog? I just got the link from a friend. He is part of a group chat that discusses aliens on your blog., But I noticed that it is more than that. You have a lot of political actors on here. Not to mention strong opinions on several social issues. How do you select what gets posted? How many censors do you have if any? I noticed some harsh and inflammatory language. Does anything go? If I post my email address will you use it? How long have you been active with this blog. Are the aliens real?

    • Claire says:

      Ditto for me. PrP, don’t you think that over a 100 post is jut too long? I’m going crazy trying to keep up with all the new responses to old posts. I came for the aliens, but the social issues are riveting. Hi, James welcome to the group chat.

      We are thinking establishing our own avatar. Let us know your choice.

    You are allowing the Y*/~ to take the immortal out on an explorative jaunt to the 0p79346 Solar system. When they leave we would request 400 seats on the MotherShip.

    • LeI says:

      One of the reasons they are taking him out is that the Immortal is capable of interlacing his molecular structure to conduct electricity over long distances. Out there the hope is to get him to produce lightning. We need to know how far he can discharge electricity. We would also like to know how far and how powerful his electrical discharge can be transmitted.

      He was observed discharging lightning which struck the MotherShip that caused an earthquake in Guam at about 0100 29May25. The strike was so powerful that it immobilized the U*/`. The ship had to be rescued to prevent it from losing flight intergrity. He did this from 240 million miles away. Nothing else was hit. It was a pinpoint strike.

      We need to know what medium he is using. The hypothesis is that he may be able to become Liquid Metal. Another hypothesis is that he uses his non metal gas composition as the applied field to transmit and release electricity.

      There is no need for you or any others not qualified to conduct these experiments to be present. If you are interested in learning more about how microscopic entities can conduct electricity over a long range, we suggest that you research a species of bacteria on Earth that can do so. They form living chains that can act as natural electrical wiring.

      • S]5 says:

        What needs to be researched is that who on Guam is that important to the Immortal that he would risk exposing this ability. Also alerting the US that you intend to produce an earthquake on Guam and giving them the precise details requires permission from the Council of EES. Was that permission given?

        • N]2 says:

          Has anyone discovered if the lost mini-hovercraft lost by G[2 in 2009 was “lost” intentionally to give illegal technology to the British? Humans will have the technology to build a hybrid flying vehicle capable of a 600 mile range with speeds of 250 mph and practically soundless while doing it?

      • Z]3 says:

        We should have been allowed to go because of our research on the Immortal’s ability to transport antimatter. Our research in fundamental physics could be greatly enhanced by what is discovered on that excursion.

        • LeI says:

          We think that you will have plenty of opportunities to experiment on the Immortal in the future. Our feedback suggests that IT doesn’t care about what we mortals do to learn about ITS abilities. The Immortal seems to be deliberately oblivious to things we do to it to learn more about it. We are like flies to a Lion, annoying but tolerable. It only takes a second for the Immortal to forget our attempts as long as it doesn’t feel threatened. Devise a plan using tests that might intrigue or amuse IT.

          Many humans use various ruses to get IT to give blood. The Immortal must see through most of these, but IT chooses to be unaware of the subterfuge used to achieve their goals. So it is with us. The Immortal doesn’t see us as any different from humans. We are all mortals to IT.

          Yes, these are only hypothetical guesses about the Immortal’s behavior towards the tests we put IT through. But the Immortal did agree to go on this adventure, and only a fool would believe that IT is totally blind to our plans. That is why orders were given to back off if the Immortal seemed uneasy about any of the plans to test IT.

        Perhaps those who plan to amplify the two typhoons that will hit Guam this year had better reconsider their involvement with Mother Nature. Or concentrate the damage to the military facilities on the island.

        If the Immortal can fry a MotherShip a couple hundred million miles away from the planet Earth, without leaving Earth, why are you attempting to piss him off?

        It really doesn’t matter who he is protecting. What should matter to you fucking aliens is that he can.

        • J[6 says:

          And you know this about alien plans to amplify two typhoons that will strike Guam this year, how?

    So when you read the chapter in the book “Caste” about how the dominant caste in america tries to make the lower caste members believe the world is all about them, then you will understand this: Mexico filed a lawsuit against Google over the company’s decision to label the Gulf of Mexico as the “Gulf of America” on its mapping services for U.S. users.

    • Camila says:

      Google is such a crook. Google agreed to pay $1.4B to Texas to settle two lawsuits alleging that the company violated residents’ privacy by tracking personal data without consent.

    Looking for a good investment? Check out The Rundown: Fintech startup Chime, which targets moderate- to low-income Americans, is readying its long-awaited Nasdaq IPO. After a lull in fintech IPOs, all eyes are on Chime’s valuation, which could land anywhere between $10B and $25B.

    The details:
    Based in San Francisco, Chime delivers essential financial services through a sleek mobile app and strategic partnerships with FDIC-insured banks.
    The company’s core offerings, including fee-free checking, savings, and credit-building products, target households earning under $100K.
    Its digital-first approach is also resonating well with customers: as of March, the company had 8.6M active users, a 23% YoY increase.
    Chime also plans to go beyond its original niche with filings revealing ambitions to roll out lending, investing, insurance, and wealth management products.
    Why it matters: A blockbuster Chime IPO could spark a fresh wave of fintech public offerings and reshape how traditional banks and regulators perceive digital banking upstarts. The move also highlights a resurgence of investor enthusiasm for fintech, positioning Chime as one of the year’s most anticipated and influential tech debuts.

      I like this too. After selling online pharmacy PillPack to Amazon in a $1B deal, its founders, TJ Parker and Elliot Cohen, have reemerged with General Medicine, a new startup aiming to make accessing healthcare as seamless as shopping online.

      The details:
      The PillPack team, joined with former Amazon Health exec Ashwin Muralidharan, launched the company this week with $32M in funding.
      It aims to be a one-stop digital marketplace for medical care, matching users with providers, booking appointments, and handling prescriptions.
      The startup is designed to accept both insurance and cash payments, and integrates with a network of specialists, clinics, and labs for end-to-end service.
      However, unlike telehealth rivals, General Medicine is aiming for a hybrid care model that blends virtual and in-person services.
      Why it matters: By taking on the U.S.’s fragmented healthcare system with a tech-driven approach, General Medicine is setting its sights on shaking up both legacy providers and early telehealth pioneers. However, the real challenge lies ahead, as it faces Amazon Pharmacy—a heavyweight that could curb its growth ambitions.

      Your next step is to stop Musk’s Space X’s Starship from reaching Mars in 2026. If he doesn’t make that launch in 2026, he won’t ever make it to Mars in his life time. As you know 2026 is when a rare planetary alignment opens up the shortest route to Mars from Earth.

    • E]9 says:

      What are your plans for Musk”s brain-computer interface (BCI) startup, Neuralink? He is using his alien connection to evade the technological sanctions humans have placed on them.

      1. He has billionaire investors like Peter Thiel. Thiel is the head of the white power government that controls the US. He has plans to replace Trump with his protege VP Vance. He owns the SCOTUS, the GOP, and the Federal Reserve.

      2. He still has a $4 billion bounty on the head of the Ear.

      3. Remember when we planned to visit the US on their holiday in 1947? Let’s not repeat that mistake.

    PrP, why have you not contributed some of your experiences with the “GODS?” Surely, you have more than 30 years of experience. You should be able to share some of it without giving away your true identity.

    Why not open your next Avenue post with some poignant comments. Then others can contribute in the comment section. I am not allowed in the Gate not because anyone believes that I can actually harm the Immortal, but because some believe that I could, for the lack of a better word, “Piss” him off.

    You should be aware of false accusations, because you have been accused of murdering millions. I know that this is false. My archives show that while you were somewhat complicit, you did not actually do the murdering.
