I did not view any of the mainstream-media television news reports yesterday after the noon broadcast
Turned on the television today just after 03:00 AM
This note is from content I created and assembled a couple days ago back on the 28th.
Want to post it here at the time, but no. No, my mind told me - non-verbally non-visually - don't post it.
There was no sort of explicit command about it. Nothing verbally or visual about it.
Just imagine talking to a person and that person suggested that you hold off on taking some sort of action you were about to take.
There was none talking to me and it is sort of how I would imagine a similar interaction with a real person here in the real world, that person not yet fully informed and listening for more information on a topic I knew nothing about.
So I did set it aside and began looking at other non-related topics, of which I will never run out of
This morning viewing the news we learn of other activities that day, not referenced here and that I have created another note about, for a future post possibly
No further comment from Sylvia.

The U.S. Secretly Tapped a Soviet Underwater Cable for Years. Then Someone Sold the Secret.

It was a brazen act of espionage. An American wiretap on a Soviet underwater cable during the Cold War reaped untold amounts of information for a nearly a decade. The intelligence it gathered helped the U.S. navigate the negotiation of the famed Strategic Arms Limitation Talks II (SALT II) Treaty of 1979.
It all came crashing down when a former NSA agent, drowning in debt, decided to trade national secrets to the Soviets for a quick payday.
Dubbed Operation Ivy Bells, the joint action between the NSA, United States Navy, and Central Intelligence Agency dove into frigid Soviet territorial waters in the Sea of Okhotsk near Kamchatka. There, via submarine, they planted a listening device on an underwater cable 400 feet below the surface of the sea. For years, it brought unencrypted conversations from America's Cold War rivals right to Lady Liberty's ears—until it suddenly went quiet.

The idea for Operation Ivy Bells came about in 1971, credited to Capt. James Bradley, the undersea warfare director at the Office of Naval Intelligence. His knowledge of USSR operations led him to believe that the Soviets had an underwater telephone cable running information from the Soviet submarine fleet headquarters in Vladivostok to the Pacific Fleet's base at Petropavlovsk. Why not just reach down and grab ahold of it?
By 1972, the U.S.S. Halibut submarine was deployed into the Sea of Okhotsk, led by Commander Jack McNish. The crew found where the cable descended into the waters after only a week of searching; this was thanks to Bradley's clever instruction to look for warning signs telling boats not to anchor. Three Navy divers then located the three-inch-diameter cable about 120 miles offshore. Tethered to the submarine to pump warm water through their suits—and to keep them tied to the submersible for safety—the divers cleared the sand from the cable and attached a listening device to the outside, careful not to puncture the line to avoid detection.
After the initial successful tap, the Navy's intelligence department reportedly commissioned Bell Laboratories to create a more robust device, allowing them to not just listen in, but record the conversations as well. The desolate waters allowed the Americans to return and attach the 20-foot-long listening device to the cable. Navy divers recovered the physical tapes from the device monthly, sending them to the NSA for analysis.
Conversations covered tactical movements, nuclear capabilities, submarine operations, missile development plans, and plenty of personal phone calls. Experts credited the intelligence gleaned from the tap to helping the U.S. negotiate terms for arms limitations during the SALT II treaty, knowing the Soviets were as afraid of war as the Americans.
Operation Ivy Bells continued undetected for nearly 10 years, until a satellite image in 1981 showed Soviet warships escorting a salvage ship directly above the listening site. Later, the U.S.S. Parche submarine confirmed the wiretap removed. For years, the Americans didn't know what upended the plan.
Then, in 1985, a KGB defector pointed the finger at Ronald Pelton.
A former U.S. Air Force intelligence officer, Pelton joined the NSA in 1965. His knowledge of the Russian language and Soviet strategy propelled him up the ranks. But what knowledge Pelton possessed in Communist spycraft seems to have been equal to a lack of know-how when it comes to capitalist realities. Pelton overextended himself financially, building an expensive house beyond his means. The domino effect of this domicile decision led to his financial undoing, and he and his wife declared bankruptcy in 1979. Due to his debts, the NSA fired Pelton, deeming him a security risk.
In 1980, strapped for cash, Pelton called the Soviet embassy in Washington, D.C., offering top-secret government intelligence. He reportedly earned an initial $5,000 for the Ivy Bells information—which led to the 1981 Soviet discovery of the device—and another $30,000 after.
After he was exposed by the KGB defector, Pelton folded. He confessed to his crimes during the FBI's investigation and was handed three life sentences. Ultimately, he served just one day shy of 30 years, which is still the longest prison sentence for espionage, according to Guinness World Records. Released in 2015, Pelton died in 2022, at the age of 80.
As for the listening device the Soviets recovered, the USSR ultimately displayed it at the Moscow Armed Forces Museum. It was paired with a label declaring it "Property of the United States Government."

Prelude
Pilcher rides up front beside his henchman.
The disorientation is still present, but retreating.
His people have told him that the suspension lasted eighteen hundred years, but with each breath he takes, that seems less and less possible. In truth, it feels as though only hours have passed since that New Year's Eve party in 2013, when he and his entire crew drank Dom Perignon, stripped naked, and climbed into their suspension pods.
