Headphones and televisions and Freaky Tuesday.

I wanted to continue watching through "The Siege" which are two episodes that are the season finales of season 1 of "Stargate: Atlantis" but I decided that would be a story for another time in my miserable existence.

So "The Gift" which is episode 17 of 99 episodes of "Stargate: Atlantis" and dated 11 March 2005 USA is the farthest I have made it so far. Ah yes, you only have to see the photos of the actress Rachel Luttrell to understand why that series looked too stupid to watch when it was active on television.

Damn, I have really been cranking out some tremendously exceptional reports lately. I wish I could make some good money from this. But then that would defeat the purpose. That is one objective of the severe racketeering Microsoft Corbis Bill Gates al Qaida. That would be playing their game. Their severe racketeering activity to steal my property.

There are recent changes about the people I see around me outside my apartment. I am not aware of their personal activities. I cannot describe here their activities because that would identify me to them. The encounters are subtle as though I am aware subconsciously about something and that subconscious awareness affects me but it affects them also. I cannot describe too much the detail because, as I wrote recently in a private email, a person who publishes their home address to a public forum has no reasonable expectation of privacy. Anyway, I try to avoid contact as much as possible with my neighbors because I want to avoid questions and I am a lousy liar. Also, I know without a doubt the management of the apartment complex has been spreading around my name and that is how people know I am the author of this blog despite how no one person around here where I have lived knows my full name and I can only recall one brief moment years ago when I mentioned my first name and the only people around here who have full access to my full name are the managers of this apartment complex. I complain about something that is reasonable to complain about and they make no changes other than to give me a bullshit story and then to jack up my rent something like 16% when my lease expires. My guess is I was the only person to complain about the bug-infestation and since no one else complained and since I was the specific person to complain then they did nothing other than give me some bullshit story. I don't explain here specifically why I am writing about this. I anticipate further reprisals against me because I have complained about their illegal activities directed at me.

Anyway, the pattern I notice isn't much different than I see elsewhere in earlier productions. The reason I am focused now on "Stargate: Atlantis," other than it is a new source of input for me to think about, is the notion I stated earlier about its premiere. I stated before recently about how since it premiered very close to 03 March 2003 then it might be a very literal source of information about the fate of human beings on this planet Earth.

For quite a while now I have stated here on this internet website available presumably to the wide world that I believe the date 03 March 2003 is the date that I prove time-travel is possible. I don't need a time machine because I *am* the time machine.

What the episode I last watched reinforces is a notion I wrote about at least once before: I am fighting another scout. The other scout I am fighting is my opposite number in the ranks of the enemy.

And as the protectors of "Stargate Wraith" propaganda have explained don't let them scam you again. Because you are easily scammed.

They don't need spaceships. They are here already. Actually, they do need spaceships. They need transportation away elsewhere after feeding on all of you and stripping barren the planet of all life.

My sleeping dreams are tremendously prescient for other reasons I do not explain here.

"The stumbling block to Mrs. Smith getting Tom Findlay back was her children," said Giese, a tall, thin young man who spoke in a voice almost too low to hear. "Mrs. Smith removed that obstacle from her life. This is a case of selfishness, of `I, I, I,' and "me, me, me.' "

"Never abandon your common sense," Giese urged the jurors.

TEYLA
Charin, do you know why I can sense the Wraith coming?

CHARIN
You were born to it. There have been a few in every generation.

TEYLA
I know, but has no one ever wondered how that is possible?

CHARIN
Some believe it was a gift from the Ancestors.

TEYLA
And you?

CHARIN
Your father asked me not to tell you.

TEYLA
My father is not here anymore.

CHARIN
No other living Athosian knows of this, for good reason.

TEYLA
Please. Tell me anyway.

CHARIN
My grandfather used to tell a story—no one has ever heard the like, before or since—about the few who once returned.

TEYLA
Returned?

CHARIN
There was a planet… As was expected, every so often, the Wraith came. Villagers were taken. But there, on this particular planet, on several occasions, the taken came back.

EXT—ATLANTIS, DAY

INT—WEIR'S OFFICE

[Teyla recounts the story to Weir and Sheppard.]

TEYLA
Some believed that the ancestors had returned their loved ones to them that they had been blessed with a gift that made them unwanted by the Wraith. Others even told tales of how the taken had somehow vanquished the Wraith. But soon, the taken began to be feared.

WEIR
Why?

TEYLA
They spoke of hearing voices. Many began to behave strangely. Some became violent, even murderous.

WEIR
Well, it doesn't sound like the Ancients were responsible for that.

TEYLA
No. The villagers turned on the taken. It was a massacre. All but a few were killed. The rest were ostracized sent away. After that, no others that were taken from that village ever returned again. But those few who survived, they are the ones who Charin believes passed on the gift.

SHEPPARD
And one of the taken that survived was…

TEYLA
My lineage. I have the address to the planet where this happened. Charin says the village is long gone. All that is left are ruins, but still, I wish to go there.

WEIR
Now?

TEYLA
I believe this must be coming to light now for a reason. Maybe we can find evidence of what really happened.

WEIR
Look, Teyla, there are a lot of things that we need to get done.

TEYLA
Maybe there is a way to fight the Wraith that we have yet to discover. Perhaps my ancestors were simply not enlightened enough to recognize their gift for what it was.

DR. HEIGHTMEYER
You were standing over yourself?

TEYLA
It was me…but it was not me. I was a Wraith.

DR. HEIGHTMEYER
The truth is, people waste a lot of time trying to interpret their dreams. They're really just another way our brain thinks when we're asleep. There are no hidden meanings. In fact, we tend to forget most everything we dream about. Our conscious mind is capable of deciding what's most important to us.

TEYLA
Well, the fact that, on some level, I see myself as a Wraith is very disturbing to me.

DR. HEIGHTMEYER
I think this special ability you have, this talent for sensing the Wraith, connects you to them in your mind…maybe in a way you would like to deny. You said you hadn't really given it much thought in the past. I don't think that's true.

TEYLA
What am I supposed to do? I cannot change it.

DR. HEIGHTMEYER
Probably not. But the unknown frightens us. We all like to feel in control even though most of the time our power over most things is just an illusion. But I find, the more we know about something, the more we can convince ourselves we are in control of it.

Subject: RE: Vault

In the Tuesday 26 February 2013 episode of the CBS television series “NCIS: Los Angeles” broadcast across the nation in the United States there was a shootout at a laundry-mat place of business.

A group of villains opened up at the building with automatic weapons fire and one of the starring characters, the phony ex-Navy SEAL, fired back with his semi-automatic pistol.

The shootout blasted out all of the window glass and when the phony ex-Navy SEAL walked out of the building, after he killed one of the shooters in the almost-“A-Team” black van the building address affixed to the intact window glass above him was ‘5173.’

Later dialog featured the use of the word ‘vault’ in a dialog about law school as spoken by two of the other starring characters including the scraggly looking “Scooby Doo” character from the Los Angeles Police Department who works with the phony “NCIS” agents.



From 3/3/1959 (the birthdate in Hawaii of my biological brother Thomas Reagan ) to 5/1/1973 ( the graduation of my biological brother Thomas Reagan from the University of Oxford at Lincoln College includes law degree for my brother Thomas Reagan ) is 5173 days

[Teyla enters, finding Weir and Beckett working at a laptop.]

TEYLA
Good morning. You look like I feel.

WEIR
Well, we've been up all night.

TEYLA
You wanted to see me?

BECKETT
You'd better sit down.

TEYLA
What is it?

WEIR
Well, I translated the first part of the log you that brought back, and… are you sure you don't want to have a seat? The Wraith were conducting experiments on your ancestors. It was just one Wraith, actually, and he was doing it against the wishes of the other Wraith, which is why he was doing it in secret.

TEYLA
What was he doing?

BECKETT
I think he was trying to make their food source more compatible with their species.

TEYLA
I do not understand.

BECKETT
It was very easy to miss. In fact, I couldn't even make the kind of comparison necessary to isolate the specific strand. We needed Wraith cells, which we eventually got, but then we needed a full mapping of the genetic code contained within those cells, which wasn't even 50% complete—

TEYLA
Please. Tell me.

BECKETT
You have some Wraith DNA in your genetic makeup.

[Teyla is shocked.]

INT—BRIEFING ROOM

SHEPPARD
You're saying Teyla is part Wraith?

BECKETT
A very small part.

WEIR
Which makes her about as different from us as you, because of the Ancient gene you possess.

MCKAY
Well, and some other things.

FORD
Still, Bates is going to go nuts over this.

SHEPPARD
Let's just keep this one under our hat.

WEIR
Well, obviously, Teyla is very concerned about how everyone will react.

MCKAY
What, so you think this Wraith scientist was trying to make humans what, more tasty?

WEIR
The log seems to indicate that he was looking for a way to make the feeding process more efficient.

MCKAY
I thought you already said they had a number of genetic characteristics similar to humans.

BECKETT
They do, but they're still much closer to the bug creature that attacked Major Sheppard than to us.

SHEPPARD
Hey, I thought we weren't going to mention that anymore.

BECKETT
Sorry.

WEIR
Also interesting is the fact that the Wraith language appears to be a derivative of Ancient, which seems to suggest that the Wraith evolved after the Ancients arrived in Pegasus.

BECKETT
My theory is that the Ancients unwittingly allowed humans to evolve on a planet with…insect species on it. At some point, the insects fed on humans and somehow incorporated our DNA into theirs. The Wraith are an evolution of that combination.

FORD
So what you're saying is the Ancients actually created the Wraith?

BECKETT
By accident.

MCKAY
Or negligence.

MCKAY
See, now you've got me wondering why the rest of the Wraith didn't want these experiments taking place in the first place.

WEIR
Exactly.

MCKAY
Especially since they were supposed to be intended to improve things for everyone.

WEIR
Yeah. That's what I'm saying.

MCKAY
I just said it.

SHEPPARD
Will you stop?

WEIR
Okay, here's the most interesting part. The Wraith communicate with each other using some sort of telepathic network.

SHEPPARD
I noticed that.

WEIR
Thankfully, they can't seem to read the minds of humans, though.

SHEPPARD
That's good, but what does this have to do with the Wraith stopping the experiments?

WEIR
Because, by combining even small amounts of Wraith DNA with humans, the scientist was giving the humans Wraith mental abilities. The subjects of his experiments were able to hear the Wraith communications.

SHEPPARD
In the stories that Teyla told, the voices that the people heard were…

WEIR
Were Wraith. Exactly. It must have driven them mad. The Wraith scientist couldn't find a way around it, so eventually he gave up.

MCKAY
I don't understand. I mean, why let them back into the general population, then?

WEIR
Well, it seems he thought that interbreeding with normal humans might dilute the effect.

MCKAY
Before he realized he was wrong, it was too late.

WEIR
When the other Wraith did find out what he had done, they wiped out all the people on the planet… But not before several of the test subjects had already been ostracized and forced to leave.

MCKAY
Okay, so how does this help us?

WEIR
Teyla may have more than just the ability to sense the Wraith coming.

Chapter 2

The next morning the youth discovered that his tall comrade had been the fast-flying messenger of a mistake. There was much scoffing at the latter by those who had yesterday been firm adherents of his views, and there was even a little sneering by men who had never believed the rumor. The tall one fought with a man from Chatfield Corners and beat him severely.

The youth felt, however, that his problem was in no wise lifted from him. There was, on the contrary, an irritating prolongation. The tale had created in him a great concern for himself. Now, with the newborn question in his mind, he was compelled to sink back into his old place as part of a blue demonstration.

For days he made ceaseless calculations, but they were all wondrously unsatisfactory. He found that he could establish nothing. He finally concluded that the only way to prove himself was to go into the blaze, and then figuratively to watch his legs to discover their merits and faults. He reluctantly admitted that he could not sit still and with a mental slate and pencil derive an answer. To gain it, he must have blaze, blood, and danger, even as a chemist requires this, that, and the other. So he fretted for an opportunity.
