excerpts, by me, Kerry Burgess, 12/01/2023 04:15 AM
As though the Julian Jaynes bicameral gods are telling me - non-verbally - stories that I will discover in the future. That's a contradiction, however, to the concept Julian Jaynes expertly describes in his book. I am extending his concept about what happened to the people of ancient times and adapting to my own personal observations about my own personal experiences and I am suggesting that everyone today is affected by the notion I theorize. Far as I know, Jaynes never tried to suggest that the human species - past and present - have some sort of "back door" vulnerability to foreign influence by extraterrestrial intelligence. And I am not suggesting E.T. is here *now* and is still mind-controlling people to do stuff they would not have done anyway. Rather, I am more inclined to accept the fictional notion established in tangible form under the name James Corey and his "protomolecule". The human species forced into a collective consciousness by an alien race but they created it more than a billion years ago so don't take it personally.

Graham slams Biden on Middle East strikes: 'The only Iranian we killed ... is some dumba-'
Miranda Nazzaro
Sun, February 4, 2024 at 7:02 AM PST
The Biden administration came under scrutiny from some GOP lawmakers who said the U.S. response to last week's drone strike was not swift enough.
The U.S. military began its first round of airstrikes on Iranian-backed groups in Syria and Iraq last Friday in response to an attack on a base in Jordan last week that killed three American troops and injured about 40 others.
The strike immediately ramped up pressure on Biden to take decisive action against the groups, which the White House maintained all week it would do at a time of their choosing.
"We need to change our policy," Graham said. "People are not afraid of us. This idea of hitting hundreds of targets ... that doesn’t matter. The only Iranian we killed in Syria or Iraq ... is some dumbass that doesn't know to get out of the way."

Sun, February 4, 2024
Sen. Lindsey Graham (R-S.C.) on Sunday dug into the timing of President Biden's response to last week’s deadly drone strikes, arguing the U.S. gave Iraq and Syria a "weeks notice," that only served to kill "some dumbass," who did not know the counter-attack was coming.
"If the goal is to deter Iran, you're failing miserably. If the goal is to protect American troops, you're not achieving your goal," Graham said on "Fox News Sunday." "If you've convinced Iran you don't want a wider war, they believe you. 'Oh, I don't want a war with you,' they got the message ... they're not afraid of us.

Fukushima Daiichi nuclear disaster
From Wikipedia
The Fukushima Daiichi nuclear disaster was an energy accident at the Fukushima Daiichi Nuclear Power Plant in Okuma, Fukushima Prefecture, initiated primarily by the tsunami following the Tohoku earthquake on 11 March 2011. Immediately after the earthquake, the active reactors automatically shut down their sustained fission reactions. However, the tsunami disabled the emergency generators that would have provided power to control and operate the pumps necessary to cool the reactors. The insufficient cooling led to three nuclear meltdowns, hydrogen-air explosions, and the release of radioactive material in Units 1, 2 and 3 from 12 to 15 March. Loss of cooling also raised concerns over the recently loaded spent fuel pool of Reactor 4, which increased in temperature on 15 March due to the decay heat from the freshly added spent fuel rods but did not boil down to exposure.
On 5 July 2012, the Fukushima Nuclear Accident Independent Investigation Commission (NAIIC) found that the causes of the accident had been foreseeable, and that the plant operator, Tokyo Electric Power Company (TEPCO), had failed to meet basic safety requirements such as risk assessment, preparing for containing collateral damage, and developing evacuation plans. On 12 October 2012, TEPCO admitted for the first time that it had failed to take necessary measures for fear of inviting lawsuits or protests against its nuclear plants.
The Fukushima disaster was the most significant nuclear incident since the 26 April 1986 Chernobyl disaster

Good afternoon: Tomorrow I will send to the Congress the economic section of my State of the Union report.
One fact stands out above all others in this report: For the first time in nearly 20 years, we can look forward to genuine prosperity in a time of peace.
For most people, talking about the economy brings to mind some vast, complicated machine. Today, I want to talk about the economy in personal terms-about its impact on you and your family.

Thought you couldn't speak their language.
[Daniel jumps, startled, and stands, chuckling nervously.]
Dr. Daniel Jackson: Huh? You scared me.
[O'Neil, Skaara, Kawalski, and Brown walk further into the cave. O'Neil looks angry. Daniel and Shau'ri move to meet them. Daniel gestures at the wall.]
DANIEL
It's an ancient Egyptian dialect. I mean, it's like the rest of their culture. It's evolved completely independently. But...uh...once you know the vowels....
O'NEIL
Just answer the question.
DANIEL
Well uh. I-I me I just had to learn how to pronounce it. I mean, it hasn't been a living, spoken language in more than one thousand years. I mean, look at this. It says, uh: "A traveler from distant stars escaped from a dying world looking for a way to extend his own life."
[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.]
DANIEL
(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.
[Daniel moves over to another picture showing workers bring the mineral as offerings to Ra.]
DANIEL
This mineral is clearly the building block of all his technology. With this, he can sustain eternal life.

Tower 22 drone attack
From Wikipedia
On 28 January 2024, an attack drone, launched by the Islamic Resistance in Iraq—an Iranian-backed Shia militia group—struck Tower 22, a U.S. military outpost in Rukban, northeast Jordan. The explosion resulted in the deaths of three U.S. soldiers and injuries to 47 others.
The incident marked the first time U.S. troops were killed by enemy fire since the start of the Israel–Hamas war. President Joe Biden condemned the attack as "despicable" and pledged retaliation at a suitable time. Iran denied any involvement in the attack.

Address to the Nation on National Security
February 26, 1986
One cannot sit in this office reviewing intelligence on the military threat we face, making decisions from arms control to Libya to the Philippines, without having that concern for America's security weigh constantly on your mind. We know that peace is the condition under which mankind was meant to flourish. Yet peace does not exist of its own will. It depends on us, on our courage to build it and guard it and pass it on to future generations. George Washington's words may seem hard and cold today, but history has proven him right again and again. ``To be prepared for war,'' he said, ``is one of the most effective means of preserving peace.'' Well, to those who think strength provokes conflict, Will Rogers had his own answer. He said of the world heavyweight champion of his day: ``I've never seen anyone insult Jack Dempsey.''

I also have these unexplained thoughts that I was a fighter pilot in the U.S. military, although I'm not sure which service, but I may have been in two different branches over time. I am also confused about thoughts that I may have been a helicopter pilot. What's next? A space shuttle pilot? Seems like a lot for someone that is only 40. And, while I am not sure when this divergence happened, I am reasonably certain it was before I turned 33. So I must have been a pretty busy guy.

I actually do remember... something... I can’t explain it. It feels that I am holding an unmarked, undistinguishable book that I don’t know the name of or the contents but I know I have read it already.

A few minutes ago I started thinking that maybe I started at Princeton University in 1972. I would have been 13 at the time as Thomas Ray. I remember that Kerry Burgess started first grade in 1972. But then I decided that I probably started Princeton earlier than 1972 and maybe 1972 was the year I completed my first major degree. Or 1972 doesn’t really mean anything in particular to Thomas Ray; rather it is there for continuity sake for the life of Kerry Burgess.

Salesman
Also, "Salesman." I saw that in a dream while sleeping recently. I saw myself going through an induction process in the United States Marine Corps and I woke up understanding that I was dreaming of my actual experience in 1990. I saw a document that indicated I was being inducted to the United States Marine Corps with the officer grade of Chief Warrant Officer 2. I saw in the dream another document associated with my induction and that document indicated I had been assigned the informal name "Salesman."
