Pandemic (The Extinction Files Book 1)
A.G. Riddle
Chapter 24
Lying there in silence, Elim thought about how quickly a person's fate could change, how precious life and health are. He had walked into this very room two days ago as a practicing physician, a man in control, with the power to heal, looking down on the sick American on the same bed where he himself now lay. He had never known just how different the world looked from the other side.
He vowed that if he became well, he would cherish every day. And although he had never wished ill health on another person, there and then he wondered if every physician might benefit from being sick - *really* sick - just once. He wondered if it would make them all care a little more, or work a little harder, to have been on the other side for a while - to have placed their life and livelihood in the hands of a stranger, even if for only a short period. He had considered himself a very conscientious physician before this, but he imagined that if he lived, he would be even more dedicated to his patients.
Staring at the ceiling, he was reminded of an old Indian proverb: A healthy person has a hundred wishes, but a sick person has only one.

Gary MYERS, Ph.D
Ex-excuse me. Wha-what are you doing? We've used every known technique.
[Daniel finally turns around, pointing to an untranslated symbol.]
Doctor Daniel Jackson
That's a curious word, to use, eh, "Quebeh"?
MYERS
Yeah...?
DANIEL
Then an adverbial sedjem-en-ef with a cleft subject. Then "Sealed and buried."
[Adds the words to an untranslated section of the hieroglyphs, then crosses out "coffins".]
MYERS
Ex-excuse me. Wha-what are you doing?
DANIEL
That's not coffins.
[Daniel ignores Myers, crossing out the word "forever to eternity" and replacing it with...]
DANIEL
"For all time." Who the hell translated this?
[Catherine and Shore look at Myers.]

44th President of the United States: 2009 ‐ 2017
Remarks at the Dedication Ceremony for the National Museum of African American History and Culture
September 24, 2016
I want you to think about this. Consider what this artifact tells us about history, about how it's told, and about what can be cast aside. On a stone where day after day, for years, men and women were torn from their spouse or their child, shackled and bound, and bought and sold, and bid like cattle; on a stone worn down by the tragedy of over a thousand bare feet—for a long time, the only thing we considered important, the singular thing we once chose to commemorate as "history" with a plaque were the unmemorable speeches of two powerful men.
The best history helps us recognize the mistakes that we've made and the dark corners of the human spirit that we need to guard against.

Colonel YOUNG: Well, you're the one trying to get the recycling system up and running. Maybe there's a leak somewhere.
Eli WALLACE: No. The ship says it's fine.
Dr. RUSH: If what you're saying is accurate ...
YOUNG: It is.
RUSH: ... then we've got a serious problem.
YOUNG: Well, we wouldn't if you did what I asked you to do in the first place.
RUSH: Oh, please. Can we stick to one problem at a time?
YOUNG: Running out of water wouldn't matter if we just dial Earth, go home.
RUSH: I already explained that to you.
YOUNG: The ship's recharged, the power reserves are full ...
RUSH: That's the point. They're not.
YOUNG: Well, where are we at, then, Rush?
RUSH: Probably about ... less than forty percent of their original design capacity.
YOUNG (chuckling): Think I can't tell when somebody just pulls a number out of his ass?
RUSH: What?!
WALLACE: Uh, I actually pulled that number out of my ass. He's not making it up.

Stargate: The Movie (1994)
(from internet transcript)
[Daniel points to icons on the wall showing an alien creature with the eye of Ra over his chest.]
FLASHBACK
[An alien creature, similar to the pictograph description, cries out as if in pain.]
Doctor Daniel Jackson
(voiceover)
"His body, decaying and weak...he couldn't prevent his own demise." Apparently his whole species was becoming extinct. "So he travelled..."
END FLASHBACK
INT—CAVE
DANIEL
or "searched", "...the galaxies looking for a way to cheat death." And uh...look here.
[He points to another pictograph showing a pyramid with the sun above it. Humans as small figures below the pyramid. Another picture shows lights coming down from a pyramid, with a young boy under them all.]
FLASHBACK
[The alien ship awaking villagers in Ancient Egypt are again seen. The boy heads to the strange lights.]
DANIEL
(voiceover)
"He came to a world, rich with life, where he encountered a primitive race—humans." Heh. "A species which, with all his powers and knowledge, he could maintain indefinitely. He realized within a human body, he had a chance for a new life." Now, he apparently found a young boy. It says: "As the frightened villagers ran, night became day. Curious, and without fear, he walked towards the light."
[The boy walks to the strange lights as he's caught in a beam.]
END FLASHBACK
INT—CAVE
DANIEL
Ra took him and possessed his body—like some kind of a...parasite looking for a host. And inhabiting this human form, he appointed himself ruler.
[More pictographs show Ra as ruler over the people and an active Stargate with people walking through it.]
DANIEL
He used the Stargate to bring thousands of people here to this planet, as workers for the mines, just like the one we saw.
They're essentially Beasts of Burden. Civilization has not yet reached the point in technology (thanks to those same dullard dim-wits) where Service Robots are cheap and effective.
So those lameoids sit around whining because they have to work hard at a job that requires *no* *real* skill.
So they're RESENTFUL at other people.
That person below here worked her way out but the vast majority of them won't. That's why they're burdened with a low-paying job that doesn't fund the neat stuff that is sitting on the shelves of all the stores here in America.
They resent the hell out of the people who *can* afford to purchase all that neat stuff.
This politician found a niche because she's attractive and pretty and our society wants to believe that attractive people are more intelligent than others.
As a politician, she needs the votes of the dullard menial laborers.
And they want revenge for not being able to purchase more neat stuff.

I’ve waited tables and interviewed on live TV.
He’s right. Going on TV can be stressful, but restaurant shifts are much, much harder.
Most of these Fox News correspondents couldn’t last one real day in these hard working jobs they love to mock on television.

One of my biggest peeves is people with extremely easy jobs making light of low-wage labor. Waiting tables is MUCH harder than flapping your jaws on TV.

Number 878: The Farthest Man From Home
I am Kerry Burgess. This is what I think.
Wednesday, July 10, 2019
Contentment without substance.
So, here's the thing.
You dullards will never understand any of this.
I don't know specifically any person who's reading my blogs and posts.
There are some specific people that I suspect are reading my posts but I understand how easily it is to spoof a person with social media so I am susceptible also to that same influence.
But none of those people are talking *directly* to me. So I know nothing for fact.
Mainly I am thinking of the people that think they know personally Kerry Burgess. Those are the only people who might take an interest in my posts. No one else finds any interest. Stargate Fans, and their caste, find nothing interesting unless they can talk about "themselves" and their pathetic and meaningless and pointless lives. Otherwise, I just remind them of why they hate their boss.
There are several theories I have that explain my existence since the year 2005.
The people I suspect are reading these posts have nothing close to the level of imagination to seriously consider the possibility I may be right about my theory.
The facts I declare about the Fantastic Kerry Burgess of the 1990s and later, the version of Kerry Burgess who diverged in July 1989, are simply thoughts in my mind.
Thoughts I don't really care about. This stuff is a lot of work. Sitting here every day, this desk is crippling me.
I can't let it go because I am certain that if I continue working at it then I will find the answers I need to explain everything.
Now, the people who think they knew Kerry Burgess are ambivalent to Astronaut Kerry Burgess and for several reasons I can imagine.
See, they were actively deceived during that time-frame. So there is some sort of psychological denial, confirmation bias, irrational primacy effect, in their minds, in their world of mediocrity.
Where it gets really unbelievable is my contradicting theory about my existence.
My theory that some sort of technology beyond human comprehension created me a few years ago and I exist now as some sort of replicant. A biological being replicated from human form.
So technically, that astronaut stuff, that 12/20/1994, all that other fantastic marvelous stuff I've described, was not *me*, not me the version of Kerry Burgess still sitting here at this stupid desk. Sitting here now, I'm just another version in a long string of replicants that have specific purpose.
