I had most of the content developed and assembled for this note, still not sure at the time I would even post it here
I turned away from my desk, wearily leaning back in my chair, and turned on the tv
Changing channels, I stopped on channel 4.3 and an old "Superman" episode
Thought it was humorous enough to make note of
The episode started 8 minutes earlier at the top of hour and I began watching it in progress
Jimmy Olsen is sitting in a chair. Newspaper reveals "Superman Saves City"
Knock at the door
He lets in the disheveled Clark Kent
They're both confused
I had already read the summary for the episode that Superman develops amnesia after diverting collision from asteroid
Clark Kent explains that he found keys in his jacket pocket and coming there seemed the right thing to do, apparently that's his apartment
In the camera frame, Clark has his back to Jimmy. Clark is baffled. He is slowly unbuttoning his shirt and we see his Superman costume is underneath. He walks away from Jimmy, who is none the wiser. Clark enters another room and finds other Superman costumes in his closet. Then he collapses in the shower and breaks all the glass in the door
Walking around in the Superman costume and his eye-glasses, sits down, in frustration pounds his fist on the table next to the chair, demolishing it. Realizes. Flies to observatory, gets some sort of atomic bomb from scientists, flies to asteroid. Blows himself up along with the asteroid. Gets back his memory
"Panic in the Sky" Superman, Season 2, episode 12, 12/5/1953
Now it's later, the episode has ended and I'm back to thinking of something specific to watch today
I still have that final episode of "See" but not sure if that will be today
As I've said, every single thing I read or watch or just about every single thought in my head becomes more work for me. And my neck is killing me sitting here
What I most likely will do today - this calendar-day 01/07/2024 - is watch at least the rest of the second episode of "The Lazarus Project"
And after that Superman episode ended, the thought suddenly struck me to check for a pattern in that 1979 title. Because this is what I have before called a "bounce". Two items from the past coincidencing with one or more items in the topic I am researching, which in this case, is yesterday and today, as though some weird "checkpoint" experience has occurred and I'm the only person who can grasp - vaguely - its effect on reality in this universe
ST:TMP caused me to then look for anything with BSG
I paused the video of episode 2 yesterday at the point where Archie explains to George what happened to her when she was injected with whatever substance it is that gives her the ability to sense "reverts"
That's probably going to be the point where I resume and that will probably follow after my observations about BSG, as listed below here. This note mostly conforms to the thought process in my conscious mind as I developed and assembled, caused by my observations. I make observations, those cause me to think of stuff to post here. It all starts with one idea, sometimes there are multiple, unrelated notions in my notes
This note started *because* of my report yesterday about "The Lazarus Project", the tv-series from Britain and that is available here on Amazon Prime Video, at additional cost
So that's what I'm doing. Still have a few packets left of inexpensive hot-chocolate, having one of those, and watching the rest of the second episode with George and Archie. Any observations will be referenced here immediately after the section where I examine the relationship of today and yesterday with BSG
Time here now: 01/07/2024 12:54 PM

And that's fascinating to me. Because I do not believe in 'love'.
"Love" is a fairy-tale, in my opinion, perpetuated by women who are in denial
I can love a car , I can love my camera, I can love my house , and my feelings for a person are really no different.
That sleeping dream is going to be with me all day today. I can still see her there.

(from internet transcript)
PICARD: How long have you been here?
KIRK: I don't know. I was aboard the Enterprise-B in the deflector control room... ...Stir these, will you?
(Kirk thrusts a hot frying pan into Picard's hands)
PICARD: Ow!
KIRK: The bulkhead in front of me disappeared. ...Then I found myself out here just now chopping wood, ...right before you walked up. Thanks.
PICARD: Look, ...history records that you died saving the Enterprise-B from an energy ribbon eighty years ago.
KIRK: You say this is the twenty-fourth century.
Picard: Aha.
KIRK: And I'm dead?
PICARD: Not exactly. As I said, this is some kind of...
KIRK/PICARD: Temporal nexus.
KIRK: ...Yeah, I heard you. ...Something is missing.

(Kirk gets a broken pair of spectacles out of a box)
KIRK: ...The day I told her I was going back to Starfleet.
KIRK: These are Ktarian eggs, ...It was her favourite. I was preparing them to soften the blow.
PICARD: I know how real this must seem to you, but it's not. This isn't really your house. We're both of us caught up in some kind of temporal nexus.

KIRK: She isn't real either, is she? Nothing here is. ...Nothing here matters.
KIRK: You know, maybe this is less about an empty house than that empty chair on the bridge of the Enterprise. Ever since I left Starfleet I haven't made a difference. ...Captain of the Enterprise, huh?
PICARD: That's right.
KIRK: Close to retirement?
PICARD: I'm not planning on it.
KIRK: Let me tell you something. Don't! Don't let them promote you. Don't let them transfer you. Don't let them do anything that takes you off the bridge of that ship, because while you're there, you can make a difference.
PICARD: Come back with me. Help me stop Soran. Make a difference again.
KIRK: Who am I to argue with the Captain of the Enterprise? ...What's the name of that planet, ...Veridian Three?
PICARD: Yes.
KIRK: I take it the odds are against us, and the situation is grim?
PICARD: You could say that.

Release info
United States December 22, 1994 (New York City, New York)
A Man of No Importance (film)
From Wikipedia
A Man of No Importance is a 1994 comedy drama film
Alfred is a bus conductor who recites poetry and Oscar Wilde play lines to his regular bus riders. This year he hopes to put together the Wilde play Salome. Alfie lives with his sister Lily. He lines up the church hall only telling the priest that the play is about John the Baptist. A new beautiful young rider, Adele Rice, is his perfect Salome. Alfie lives above the Carson Butcher Shop and he slates up the butcher as King Herod. He wants his bus driver Robbie to be John the Baptist, but Robbie refuses, saying he is no actor. When the theatre group meets, Alfie tells them that they are not doing The Importance of Being Earnest this year but rather Salome. Butcher Carson finds the play offensive and misses rehearsals.
Byrne goes ahead with his amateur production with his friend Birdy as stage manager and Mrs. Crowe for costumes and assumes all is going well. Alfie's sister sets up a dinner date and a trip to the zoo with his leading lady, Adele. She tells Alfie she already had a boyfriend, John. Widow Birdie tells Alfie of the joys and benefits of marriage. An actor questions Alfie about his portrayal of Salome as a virgin princess. Butcher Carson goes to church counsel and tries to stop the smut-filled play.

LILY: How big is this ship?
PICARD: There are twenty-four decks. Almost seven hundred metres long.
LILY: It took me six months to scrounge up enough titanium just to build a four-metre cockpit. ...How much did this thing cost?
PICARD: The economics of the future are somewhat different. ...You see, money doesn't exist in the twenty-fourth century.
LILY: No money! You mean you don't get paid.
PICARD: The acquisition of wealth is no longer the driving force in our lives. ...We work to better ourselves ...and the rest of humanity. Actually we're rather like yourself and Doctor Cochrane.

SPOCK: Science officer Spock, reporting as ordered, Captain.
KIRK: Please sit down.
McCOY: Spock, you haven't changed a bit. You're just as warm and sociable as ever.
SPOCK: Nor have you, Doctor, as your continued predilection for irrelevancy demonstrates.
KIRK: Gentlemen. At last report you were on Vulcan. Apparently to stay.
McCOY: Yes, you were undergoing the Kolineer discipline.
KIRK: Sit down.
SPOCK: If you are referring to the Kolinahr, Doctor, you are correct.
McCOY: Well, however it's pronounced, Mister Spock, it's the Vulcan ritual supposed to purge all remaining emotions.
KIRK: The Kolinahr is also the discipline you broke ...to join us. Will you, please, ...sit down!
SPOCK: On Vulcan I began sensing a consciousness of a force more powerful than I have ever encountered. Thought patterns of exactingly perfect order. I believe they emanate from the intruder. I believe it may hold my answers.
McCOY: Well, isn't it lucky for you that we just happened to be heading your way?
KIRK: Bones! We need him. I need him.
SPOCK: Then my presence is to our mutual advantage.
KIRK: Any thought patterns you might sense, ...whether they appear to affect you personally or not, I expect to be immediately reported.
SPOCK: Of course, Captain. Is there anything else?
KIRK: No.
McCOY: Jim, ...if this super-intelligence is as important to him as he says, how do we know?
KIRK: That he wouldn't put his interests ahead of the ship's. I could never believe that.
McCOY: How do we know about any of us?

[ tv-miniseries begins ]
Caption: The Cylons were created by man.
They were created to make life easier on the Twelve Colonies.
(Image of a ship docking with a space station.)
And then the day came when the Cylons decided to kill their masters.
(Door opens. Man in Colonial uniform walks down a hallway, sits at a small table with two chairs, opens his briefcase.)
After a long and bloody struggle, an armistice was declared. The Cylons left for another world to call their own.
(The man is looking at paperwork on the Cylons - drawings, specifications.)
A remote space station was built...
...where Cylon and Human could meet and maintain diplomatic relations.
Every year, the colonials send an officer.
The Cylons send no one.
No one has seen or heard from the Cylons in over forty years.
(Close-up on pictures of the man's wife and young son.)
(The man is nodding off to sleep. Suddenly, the doors open and two metallic Cylons walk in and flank the doorway. We hear high heels clicking in the corridor, and a blonde woman in a red suit enters the frame and walks down the hallway towards the man. She leans against his side of the table and bends over him.)
Woman (let's call her Number Six): Are you alive?
Man: Yes.
Six: Prove it.
(She kisses him. Outside, a Cylon Base Star appears and fires on the space station. The man breaks away.)
Six: It has begun.
(She kisses him again. He watches the paperwork on the Cylons blow off the table, sheet by sheet. The space station explodes.)
(Credits - in this case, just the Battlestar Galactica title.)

The idea being that someone with some clout, a bit of something about him, a bit of fucking chutzpah, could come along and sort out a problem by dint of the fact that people fucking listened to them. See, that's our problem. No one fucking listens to us. We got a time machine and no one listens to us.

The Stand - The Complete & Uncut Edition
Stuart Redman was waiting for Elder. He had been waiting for three days—and this evening Elder did not disappoint him.
At just past noon on the twenty-fourth, Elder and two male nurses had come and taken away the television. The nurses had removed it while Elder stood by, holding his revolver (neatly wrapped in a Baggie) on Stu. But by then Stu hadn’t wanted or needed the TV—it was just putting out a lot of confused shit anyway. All he had to do was stand at his barred window and look out at the town on the river below. Like the man on the record said, “You don’t need a weatherman to know which way the wind blows.”

excerpts, Chapter 37
“Well, I want to get back,” Bateman said briskly. “I’m halfway drunk already, and I believe there will be thundershowers this afternoon.” He walked to the back of the clearing and rummaged there. A few moments later he came back with a wheelbarrow. He screwed the piano stool down to its lowest elevation, put it in, added his palette, the picnic cooler, and balanced precariously on top of everything else, his mediocre painting.
“You wheeled that all the way out here?” Stu asked.
“I wheeled it until I saw something I wanted to paint. I go different ways on different days. It’s good exercise. If you’re going east, why don’t you come back to Woodsville and spend the night at my house? We can take turns wheeling the barrow, and I’ve got yet another six-pack of beer cooling in yonder stream. That ought to get us home in style.”
“I accept,” Stu said.
“Good man. I’ll probably talk all the way home. You are in the arms of the Garrulous Professor, East Texas. When I bore you, just tell me to shut up. I won’t be offended.”
“I like to listen,” Stu said.
“Then you are one of God’s chosen. Let’s go.”
So they walked on down 302, one of them wheeling the barrow while the other drank a beer. No matter which was which, Bateman talked, an endless monologue that jumped from topic to topic with hardly a pause. Kojak bounced alongside. Stu would listen for a while, then his thoughts would trail off for a while, following their own tangents, and then his mind would come back. He was disquieted by Bateman’s picture of a hundred little enclaves of people, some of them militaristic, living in a country where thousands of doomsday weapons had been left around like a child’s set of blocks. But oddly, the thing his mind kept returning to was Glen Bateman’s dream, the man with no face on top of the high building—or the cliff-edge—the man with the red eyes, his back to the setting sun, looking restlessly to the east.
He woke up sometime before midnight, bathed in sweat, afraid he had screamed.

BEFORE my excursion to the VA hospital in 2005-2006, none of this existed for me
But after May 10, 2006 - when it all started for me - new details began to form in my conscious mind
AND THE VERY FIRST detail that formed in my mind was about 3/3/1959
I decided that was the birthdate of some guy named Thomas Ray, later it became Thomas Reagan
No one had ever head before of Thomas Ray or Thomas Reagan
That was year 2006
17 years ago from this present day
About 5-10 years ago, the uneasy suspicion formed in my mind that the fiasco my life has become from about 20 years ago was *my* own deliberate design
I am 100% accepting of that possibility
That I didn't go to the VA to lie to them
Rather, I knew the medical-doctors in the VA psych units were smart enough to recognize my truth
And all those notes they made is simply them playing along
Because they knew I was telling the truth credibly
So, today I am looking around again, as usual, as I have done EACH AND EVERY DAY since back then in year 2006 and today I found something completely new to me

Red Storm Rising (1986) - Tom Clancy
(from internet transcript)
excerpts, Chapter 3 - Correlation of Forces
MOSCOW, R.S.F.S.R.
"How are we to go about it?" Rozhkov asked.
"Red Storm," the Marshal replied simply. Red Storm was the plan for a mechanized attack into West Germany and the Low Countries. Constantly updated for changes in the force structures of both sides, it called for a two-to three-week campaign commencing after a rapid escalation of tension between East and West. Despite this, in accordance with standard Soviet strategic doctrine, it called for strategic surprise as a precondition for success, and the use of conventional weapons only.
"At least they aren't talking about atomic arms." Rozhkov grunted. Other plans with other names applied to different scenarios, including many for the use of tactical and even strategic nuclear arms, something no one in uniform wished to contemplate. Despite all the saber-rattling of their political masters, these professional soldiers knew all too well that the use of nuclear arms made only for ghastly uncertainties. "And the maskirovka?"
"In two parts. The first is purely political, to work against the United States. The second part, immediately before the war begins, is from KGB. You know it, from KGB Group Nord. We reviewed it two years ago."
Rozhkov grunted. Group Nord was an ad hoc committee of KGB department chiefs, first assembled by then-chief of the KGB Yuri Andropov in the mid-1970s. Its purpose was to research means of splitting the NATO alliance, and in general to conduct political and psychological operations aimed at undermining Western will. Its specific plan to shake the NATO military and political structure in preparation for a shooting war was Nord's proudest example of legerdemain. But would it work?
The two senior officers shared an ironic look. Like most professional soldiers, they distrusted spies and all their plans.

United States Marine Corps Force Reconnaissance
The Force Reconnaissance Companies (abbreviated as either 'Force Recon' or FORECON), are one of the United States Marine Corps's special operations "capable" forces that provide pertinent military intelligence to the command element of the Marine Air-Ground Task Force (MAGTF); supporting the landing or joint task force commanders, and their subordinate operating units of the Fleet Marine Force (FMF), either the expeditionary/amphibious forces of the Pacific (FMFPac), or Atlantic (FMFLant).
Green Operations
The principal mission of Force Recon is reconnaissance, to collect any pertinent intelligence of military importance, observe, identify and report adversaries to MAGTF commanders. Like Division Recon (also known as the Marine Recon Battalions), they imply a mixed element of amphibious reconnaissance and ground reconnaissance. These missions are known as green operations. This practice fundamentally covers a wide spectrum of reconnaissance but primarily the FORECON operators conduct deep reconnaissance.

The Letter
It was a mild October night in Union. Susan had been driving around for the last hour, trying to calm herself. She drove along Highway 49 and followed the signs to John D. Long Lake. Before driving to the lake on this evening, she had never before been there. Susan preferred to take her sons to the pond at Foster Park, which was closer to her home. At Foster Park, Susan and her sons would feed breadcrumbs to the ducks.
Once she arrived at the shore of John D. Long Lake, Susan drove across a portion of the seventy-five-foot boat ramp and parked in the middle of the ramp. The ramp was unpaved and consisted of gravel and stones. Susan sat quietly behind the wheel of her 1990 burgundy Mazda Protege, listening to the sounds of her two young sons sleeping. Michael, her oldest son had celebrated his third birthday two weeks earlier and Alex was fourteen months old. Susan was twenty-three, with long, sandy blond hair that she tied in a ponytail. She wore wire-rimmed glasses and was in the best physical shape she had been in since before becoming pregnant with Michael.
Susan shifted the Mazda into neutral and felt the car slowly begin to roll down the remaining length of the boat ramp. The car only traveled a few yards before Susan stepped on the brake. With a shift tug, Susan pulled the emergency hand brake, stopping the car from further rolling forward. She opened her door and stepped out of the car. Susan stood outside of her car, on the boat ramp, on the banks of John D. Long Lake and thought about suicide. Susan looked around and saw only black. The lake was not illuminated and she stood alone thinking about her life. The darkness and loneliness of the deserted lake mirrored how Susan felt.
Susan wanted relief from her loneliness and the problems in her life. Susan and her husband, David, were in the middle of a divorce and her boyfriend, Tom Findlay, had just rejected her the week before. She wanted to commit suicide, but she did not want her sons to suffer. Susan believed if she killed her sons first and then committed suicide, that her sons would suffer less, rather than if she committed suicide and left them on their own. Yet, something was stopping her from surrendering to her depression and loneliness. She did not want to commit suicide, what she wanted was relief from all the stresses and burdens that overwhelmed her. She felt that her life was filled with loss and rejection, and that the responsibilities of being a single mother were overwhelming.
Susan's next decision will never be forgotten. Attempts to explain it will always fall short and continue to leave the question "why?" open to further speculation.
Susan Smith released the emergency brake and softly closed the driver's side door. Michael and Alex were asleep in the back seat, strapped into their car seats. As the car drifted into John D. Long Lake, the headlights were on. The car entered the water slowly and did not submerge immediately. Instead, it remained on the surface, bobbing peacefully, while slowly filling with water.
Susan watched the car submerge into the lake. She turned away from the sinking car and began to run toward a small house. The story that Susan would tell would capture the nation's sympathy. Susan's story would also raise doubts in some and cause a community to question some of its own citizens, based solely on the race of those citizens.
After the truth was revealed, many would try to imagine the thoughts running through Susan Smith's head the night of October 25, 1994, when she took the lives of her children.

Russia invades Ukraine
By Aditi Sangal, Meg Wagner, Adrienne Vogt, Melissa Macaya, Rob Picheta, Lauren Said-Moorhouse, Ed Upright, Maureen Chowdhury and Fernando Alfonso III, CNN
Updated 4:28 p.m. ET, February 24, 2022
It's 11 p.m. in Kyiv. Here's where things stand as the Russian invasion continues.
From CNN's Aditi Sangal and Maureen Chowdhury
The tensions between Ukraine and Russia escalated after Russian forces invaded Ukraine from three sides, while explosions rang through a number of cities, including the capital Kyiv, in a broad attack that began before dawn on Thursday. The West condemned Russian President Vladimir Putin for this invasion. What happened overnight
CNN teams heard explosions in and near multiple Ukrainian cities, including Kyiv, the second-largest city Kharkiv, Odessa, and distant firing from Zaporizhzhia. Images released by Ukrainian President Volodymyr
Zelensky's office showed large explosions to the east of the capital Kyiv with huge columns of smoke rising into the air.
Ukrainian officials said more than 40 soldiers and as many as 10 civilians had been killed since the Russian invasion of Ukraine began shortly before dawn.

NORFOLK, VIRGINIA
He drove for another three hours, wishing that he'd drunk more coffee and less wine, and listening to his car radio to stay awake. He arrived just after seven, the normal beginning of the day's work. He was surprised to find Colonel Lowe at his desk.
"I don't report to Lejeune until Tuesday, so I decided to come in and take a look at this. How was the drive?"
"I made it alive-that's about all I can say. What's happening?"
"You'll love it." Lowe held up a telex sheet. "We pirated this off the Reuters wire half an hour ago, and CIA confirms-meaning they probably stole it, too-that the KGB has arrested one Gerhardt Falken, a West German national, and accused him of setting off a bomb in the fuckin' Kremlin!" The Marine let out a long breath. "He missed the big shots, but now they're saying that among the victims are six Young Octobrists -from Pskov, by God!-who were making a presentation to the Politburo. Kids. There's going to be hell to pay."
Toland shook his head. It couldn't get much worse than that. "And they say a German did it?"
"A West German," Lowe corrected. "NATO intel services are already going ape trying to run him down. The official Soviet statement gives his name and address-some suburb of Bremen-and business, a small import-export house. Nothing else yet on that subject, but the Russian Foreign Ministry did go on to say that they expect 'this despicable act of international terrorism' to have no effect on the Vienna Arms Talks, that while they do not believe at this time that Falken was acting on his own, they 'have no wish' to believe that we had anything to do with it."
"Cute. It's going to be a shame to lose you back to your regiment, Chuck. You have such a nice way of finding the important quotes."
"Commander, we just might need that regiment soon. This whole thing smells like dead fish to me. Last night: the final film in the Eisenstein film festival, Alexander Nevsky, a new digitalized print, a new soundtrack-and what's the message? 'Arise, ye Russian people,' the Germans are coming! This morning, we have six dead Russian kids, from Pskovl and a German is supposed to have planted the bomb. The only thing that doesn't fit is that it ain't exactly subtle."
"Maybe," Toland said speculatively. He spoke like a halfhearted devil's advocate. "You think we could sell this combination of factors to the papers or anybody in Washington? It's too crazy, too coincidental-what if it is subtle, but backwards subtle? Besides, the object of the exercise wouldn't be to convince us, it would be to convince their own citizens. You could say it works both ways. That make sense, Chuck?"
Lowe nodded. "Enough to check out. Let's do some sniffing around. First thing, I want you to call CNN in Atlanta and find out how long this Suddler guy's been trying to tape his story about the Kremlin. How much lead time did he have, when was this approved, who he worked through to get it, and if someone other than his regular press contact finally did approve it."
"Setup." Toland said it out loud. He wondered if they were being clever-or clinically paranoid. He knew what most people would think.
"You can't smuggle a Penthouse into Russia without using the diplomatic bag, and now we're supposed to believe a German smuggled a bomb in? Then tries to blow up the Politburo?"
"Could we do it?" Toland wondered aloud.
"If CIA was crazy enough to try it? God, that's more than just crazy." Lowe shook his head. "I don't think anybody could do it, even the Russians themselves. It's got to be a layered defense. X-ray machines. Sniffer dogs. A couple of hundred guards, all from three different commands, the Army, KGB, MVD, probably their militia, too. Hell, Bob, you know how paranoid they are against their own people. How do you suppose they feel about Germans?"
"So they can't say he was a crazy operating on his own."
"Which leaves . . ."
"Yeah." Toland reached for his phone to call CNN.
KIEV, THE UKRAINE
"Children!" Alekseyev barely said aloud. "For our maskirovka the Party murders children! Our own children. What have we come to?"
What have I come to? If I can rationalize the judicial murder of our colonels and some privates, why shouldn't the Politburo blow up a few children . . . ? Alekseyev told himself there was a difference.
His General was also pale as he switched off the television set. "'Arise, ye Russian people. We must set these thoughts aside, Pasha. It is hard, but we must. The State is not perfect, but it is the State we must serve."
Alekseyev eyed his commander closely. The General had almost choked on those words; he was already practicing how to use them on the crucial few who would know of this outrage, yet had to perform their duties as though it never existed. There will come a day of reckoning, Pasha told himself, a day of reckoning for all the crimes committed in the name of Socialist Progress. He wondered if he'd live to see it and decided he probably wouldn't.

excerpts, Chapter 12 – Funeral Arrangements
Red Storm Rising
NORFOLK, VIRGINIA
The House of Unions was unusually crowded, Toland saw. Ordinarily they only buried one hero at a time with such ceremony. Once there had been three dead cosmonauts, but now there were eleven heroes. Eight Young Octobrists from Pskov, three boys and five girls ranging in age from eight to ten, and three clerical employees, all men who worked directly for the Politburo, were laid out in polished birchwood coffins, surrounded by a sea of flowers. Toland examined the screen closely. The caskets were elevated so that the victims were visible, but two of the faces were covered with black silk, a framed photograph atop the coffins to show what the children had looked like in life. It was a piteous, horrible touch for the television cameras to linger on.
The Hall of Columns was draped in red and black, with even the ornate chandeliers masked for this solemn occasion. The families of the victims stood in an even line. Parents without their children, wives and children without fathers. They were dressed in the baggy, ill-cut clothes so characteristic of the Soviet Union. Their faces showed no emotion but shock, as if they were still trying to come to terms with the damage done to their lives, still hoping that they'd awake from this ghastly nightmare to find their loved ones safe in their own beds. And knowing that this would not be.
The Chairman of the Party came somberly down the line, embracing each of the bereaved, a black mourning band on his sleeve to contrast with the gaudy Order of Lenin emblem on his lapel. Toland looked closely at his face. There was real emotion there. One could almost imagine that he was burying members of his own family.
One of the mothers accepted the embrace, then the kiss, and nearly collapsed, falling to her knees and burying her face in her hands. The Chairman dropped down to her side even before her husband did, and pulled her head into his shoulder. A moment later he helped her back to her feet, moving her gently toward the protective arm of her husband, a captain in the Soviet Army whose face was a stone mask of rage.
God almighty, Toland thought. They couldn't have staged that any better with Eisenstein himself directing.

In the past, I have always insisted this shouldn't be taken literally
These are just stories, I have insisted.
Don't know what it means, but shouldn't be taken literally. Perhaps, not even seriously.
*Today* I am thinking how stupid that sounds
Today I am thinking that *maybe* this should be taken seriously. Should be taken literally.
By *me*
Not by *you*
Me, I most certainly need to take this all literally and seriously
Because today I am thinking this story, this "The Lazarus Project" is literal
They've got some form of time-machine
And I would have to be a complete imbecile to not believe that by now
Today I started thinking that maybe, just maybe, this story about "The Lazarus Project" is literal and they've been doing this for a very long time and they are at this very moment realizing they are failing again.
The "checkpoint" approaches.
