“Lumbard Street”

This one of the reasons why Bill Cosby, a very funny fellow, was taken down by SAG. This bit, and many of his other performances were about real terrorism, so, they gave him the same kind of treatment that they did to Ozzy Osbourne, a little more harshly ... but do we really know that Bill Cosby is alive? Do we really know that he went to jail? Do we really know that Ozzy Osbourne is alive? Did SAG beat the living daylight out of Bill Cosby the same way they did to Ozzy Osbourne? Or, did they do it differently when the (they) beat up Bill Cosby?

What about OJ Simpson? Did they get a bigger, badder, whiter, more righteous holier-than-thou terror bastard from the football game to beat him up?

Listen to the comedy, see the truth. That stop sign at the top of the hill is no joke ,,, “Hey look Martha, we caught somebody” is as real as it gets, is a trap waiting to happen, and is one example of places you already know about. The terror calls it “Dead Man‘s Curve”, there is at least one in every town, a dangerous place where with just a little added distraction or obstacle, turns a dangerous condition into a death trap, one that can get cleared away in a few moments, as if it was never there.

Here, basically what is being said is: “Hey Martha, let’s get somebody at Dead Man‘s Curve”.

Boris is expecting some traffic, particular specific people, who are scheduled and en-route to be passing through a Dead Man‘s Curve sort of Stop Sign at the top of a hill, a place where a Clutch, becomes the Cargo in the Oxcart.

This is by far the very best version of Bydio, the Oxcart, by Modest Mussorgsky, a Russian Composer of Classical Music.

But there is no place called Russia, so, what is this really?

11:24 pm:

If it’s presented on Twitter, it’s a terror command, update, informational bit, could be a detour, distraction, bait, or just plain old fashioned murder hit order, so, let’s talk about this particular terror mass murder where the murder turns into bait later on, like a hot chick turns into a ham sandwich at midnight.

https://twitter.com/FoxNews/status/1361335175725121536

nursing home terror:

This knowledge I have comes from experience of having been engaged to a nurse who worked at such nursing homes in around 2002 in Oregon. It includes that the nurse I was engaged to, later married a FBI officer by the name of Rabner, who was stationed at the Veterans Administration Domiciliary on Hwy 62 in Medford at the time she met him.

So with those things in mind, I witnessed these kinds of events take place at a Grants Pass Oregon area nursing home, where elderly people are cared for, have a room to stay in, have nurses for their health care, and people who cook their meals for them.

The nursing homes have built in pharmacies.

Those pharmacies turned the nursing homes into mass murder centers, where SAG Musicians showed up, killed all of the old people, raided the pharmacies, then handed the keys to the nursing homes over to the Canadian terror army, so that the grand parents of the terror army could come from Canada, to live in the nursing homes, and use the names of the murdered US Citizens that were killed by the Rock Stars from SAG.

The old people are voters.

The new replacement ones vote the way the (they) are told to vote by SAG Leadership at Nancy Sinatra HQ.

When the killing happened at the place on Evelyn Ave. and 7th St in Grants Pass, I happened to be there, my girlfriend had called, asked me to go there, she was a nurse there. When I got there, all of the nurses had been told to go to a different building on 6th St for some kind of OSHA Safety Meeting or some other bullshit. While the nurses were out of the rest home main living area, that is when the SAG Rock Stars came in, went into each room, one by one, and killed the old people in their beds, most were smothered with a pillow.

I tried to help them, I did not understand that all of the people were being killed, I only thought this one old guy was being killed, so, I killed the one that was killing the old guy in the bed, he was suffocating the old guy in the bed, holding him down with a pillow over his head. I took the pillow and told the old guy I was there to help, he was scared, I pretended to continue to smother him with the pillow, and another Rock Star came in to see where his dead friend had gone to, so I killed that asshole too.

I left that room to see that a bunch of Rock Stars were all in the pharmacy area, and the pill bottles were being stolen, stuff being tossed all around, they were huddled in the main hallway reading the labels on the pill bottles, and that is when I left the building to find my girlfriend at the place on 6th St., but I could not find her, so I went home. She came home later, and did not seem to know what had happened. It was so long ago that I don’t recall what we talked about after that, but she continued to work as a nurse at that place on Evelyn Ave.

Later, someone asked me to go to another rest home nursing facility on Highland I think, nearby north Middle School in Grants Pass.

I went there, it was night time, in the lobby was a heap of dead people. About fifteen people in a big pile. Some were not quite dead yet. I could not do anything to help, I talked to someone there long enough to see that I needed to get out of there. I remember calling 911 from the parking lot.

So, the conclusion to that is not a conclusion, but is a perpetuation, where once all of the nursing home residents were killed, then replaced with family of the Canadian terror army, those places serve as take-out murder centers where visitors and professionals who went there, were killed and replaced with more Canadian terror soldiers.

The terror army began to grow in size exponentially at that time, in around 2001 - 2004 and by 2006, pretty much all of the US Citizens in Oregon were all killed and replaced with terror soldiers, all arranged to happen by leadership at SAG.

The story about the care homes is the same story of what happened at the elementary, middle, and high schools, where all of the students were brutally murdered, then replaced with the children of the Canadian terror army. Fourth graders were pushed off of the cliff at Table Rock in Eagle Point Oregon on a field trip when men carrying sheets of plywood went to the top where the children were, and used the plywood like a bulldozer to push all of the fourth graders over the cliff.

There were three bus loads of fourth graders that day, only two students on the return trip to school. I am pretty sure that one of those survivors is a gal by the name of Bailey, who works at Fred Meyer Pharmacy now, is about 30 years old, and was the daughter of one of the men who pushed all of those kids over the cliff.

Bailey is white, female, is very big girl, about 280 pounds, about 5′ 4″, has dark hair, is very unpleasant to deal with at the Fred Meyer pharmacy counter, and she has worked there for a long time. Could be Bailey Gasper, of 325 Jackpine, but I am not very confidant of that. She knows Gasper’s though for sure, and Dewey Gasper was one of the meanest, most aggressive people I have ever known of.

So, no conclusion. The terror army is still killing the babies. I suspect the conditions in new york are the same as the ones in Oregon... dead babies over the cliff, and heaps of old people dying in the lobby at the nursing homes.

Important: You cannot simply go stumbling into the Fred Meyer store asking questions and expect to come out of there alive, it won‘t work. There are fifty thousand terror soldiers on call, all connected with blu-tooth tech on iPhones, who’s primary function is to protect the terror stronghold in Grants Pass. They can swarm, make road blocks with a traffic “Cluster Fuck” and make people disappear in the day time without anyone seeing what happened.

12:13 pm:

https://twitter.com/SecBlinken/status/1361351840718344197

This asshole above, Blinken at State Department, says:

“I have orders from Trudeau. California Highway Patrol (chips) are to protect Canadian interests where a multi-state raid is happening against SDA terror soldiers.”

Translate terror-speak to English:

“The arrest of people for diplomatic gain must stop now”

After translation:

“The rest of our terror army is called to perform underhanded assistance to aid CHP in stopping the raid.”

It’s a loose translation, is like Mandarin Chinese to English, it does not happen exactly the way it was said in the original language, but you can get the gist of what was said.

===========

12:50 pm:

This comes up at Twitter, as an advertisement in association to a Twitter Trend of Olivia Wild.

Ok, I am sure that most Twitter users are familiar with the Okta family of brands and services, and are a staple in every household in USA.

What can be said about Okta?

They advise riskless activity is the main message there.

There seems to be a Twitter base of a remote workforce who benefits most from the Okta family of brands, I know my Okta is very important to me, and yours should be important to you too, so I implore all Remote Twitter Workforce Members to heed the call to assess risk, be less risky in every way, use caution, wear yellow in remembrance of Presidents Day to celebrate the achievements of Okta member George W. Bush who gave us the Traffic Lights of Terror, and today, with COVID being what it is, everyday is code Yellow, for Caution!

Today, Okta recommends those who have alternate identifications, to use those, and switch houses, and cars with your fellow Remote Workforce Members, go outside, water your gardens, do light maintenance in the neighborhood, while enjoying the hospitality provided by your fellow Twitter Remote Workforce Households, look around, see who comes and goes in the neighborhood, then, share what you learn, here on Twitter, wherever you see the familiar Okta Logo, where safety and comfort is at your neighbors house, for low risk exposure.

https://twitter.com/okta/status/1357030651753422854

It means the Twitter leadership at Google/Vatican Choir High Command says to switch houses, to use a different fellow terror cell members home, and car. That way it makes a lot of confusion, while not doing anything illegal. The terror army assumes possession of a different soldiers home, stays there for awhile. Doing so makes a situation where identifying reports made at an earlier time, about who lives at a particular place, or works at a particular place, or drives a particular car, are all discounted as not accurate, false, otherwise wrong.

Someone reports a lot of terrorism, when the investigative people show up, none of the report is the way it was written, the wrong descriptions of people, wrong cars, wrong everything. because the terror army is all an army, there homes are barracks, one barrack is the same as the other one, all of the household items are the same in each house, and are stored in the same places in the house, or nearly the same, enough sameness that any terror soldier can occupy any residence, and look as though they have been there for many years, because they know where everything is at, as they trained to do in event or investigations.

Okta, means “Perpetuation of Status Quo With a Difference”, it’s a number 8, but is an infinity sign turned sideways, Okta.

===============================

1:35 pm:

This from the office of the President:

He wants you to remember Presidents today, so, you might think about W. Bush, the ultimate terror hero of all time.

The Tweet is in support of the Okta message.

Translate Presidential terror speak to English:

“... the work ahead of us ...”

“The work (ahead o) fus”

“The workforce” however... “A head between the workforce”

Between = Betwixt

In the next little while, I expect some kind of “Bugs Bunny meats Tabatha” or “Esmerelda Meets Dr. Bombay” terror comm from White House.

There is established SAG Emergency terror code: “Dr. Bombay, Dr. Bombay, Emergency, come right away”

For real. It gets turned into some other statement that can be translated out, to that statement, to say an emergency threatens SAG Leadership.

Biden says there is something between the twitter terror “workforce”. That means “division“, and they are not accustomed to being divided, they are usually the divisors, not the divided.

We’ll have to wait and see where this goes later on.

1:59 pm:

This came out of the blue just now:

I don‘t recall having seen any set up introductory work that led to that presidential terror comm below:

https://twitter.com/POTUS/status/1361428681311326212

What is really going on, Joe?

We need to know.

It’s important, so, fess up.

I say that website is a place where terror operatives can be issued a new ID based on the name of a murdered US Citizen, taken from the archives at Social Security Administration.

Reminder: The entire reason that the democrats invented Part-D Medicare, was as a means to aid the murder of US Citizen Medicare beneficiaries. It’s composed of highly complex arrangements, includes all of the participating insurers, the Part-D Medicare arrangement was also used as a means by and through which the insurance companies were hijacked and taken control of by the terror army, Hollywood specific terror cells, and now all of the insurers are extensions of The Hartford, AARP insurance brands, and AARP is another way of saying Democrat Political Party.

Anyone who has survived as a beneficiary, since the time that Part-D has existed, can say many details about terror, and they have information that they don‘t know they have. There are many small details beneficiaries have been subject to, ones that are simply part of Part-D, but are details of a terrorist system of mass murder.

One interesting feature of Part-D terror, is that there are no choices. If you are a Medicare recipient, then, you are bound to Part-D insurance from a third party insurer of a Medicare insurance arrangement.

Think about that.

Those who do not pay the Part-D premium, are subject to substantial monetary penalty when they become hospitalized. Once in a hospital, if a Medicare beneficiary has failed to sign up to a Part-D insurance plan, one will be selected for the hospitalized patient, and a penalty that is based on the number of months that a person did not sign up to a Part-D plan. For Medicare patients who do not require regular monthly prescriptions, they still must pay the monthly premium after selecting a Part-D plan. That means every single Medicare Beneficiary is subject to the kill & replace terror that comes with signing up to a Part-D plan.

Joe Biden might be saying a warning to Hollywood about potential problems they could face at SAG Sinatra HQ due to Part-D wardrobe malfunction.

Other details about Part-D include that all of the beneficiaries of Part-D medicare were granted free “deductible” amount during the Trump years. What I mean to say here, is that although the beneficiaries were supposed to pay a deductible amount, typically about $400, that amount was covered by the White House with some kind of high tech money moving magic. I was supposed to pay deductible amounts during those years, I expected to pay a deductible amount, however, at the pharmacy, the deductible amount was paid by others, and did not show up in any of the record keeping done by the insurance company, or at the pharmacy, so, money moving magic on a grand scale was used for assisting many millions of terror soldiers with obtaining medications. Those medications were mostly transferred to SAGClubMed, a system where Actors, Musicians, Clowns, and Magicians have a vast “pool” of medications to choose from for getting high with the prescriptions that belong to the elderly and disabled people they all killed.

SAG: “We take pills from old folks we kill“

SAG: “We get high while the old people die”

===================

2:51 pm:

I am tired of doing all of the hard work without any help. So, just the result of the read is all I am going to do.

Everyone at US national security thinks they know everything there is to know about terrorism in USA, they know so much that we are in the state we are in because of them.

Fucking amateurs, every one of them.

This below says that CVS Pharmacy at Safeway stores has been killing and replacing US Citizens in Oregon for decades.

It goes on to say that there is “High Gain on the Clean Channel, where the headroom caved in on itself on Marshall Plexi”

Amp Guru at Kauai Ranch HQ, Ann Wilson and Roger Waters are in some trouble, is a deduction that can be made from Twitter news story, where the Twitter news is used to get a head start over US national security who are doing the investigations, and can’t figure out why so many of their people get killed.

3:13 pm:

Follow where this bullshit story about Land Rover and Jaguar going electric, and follow the other branches of the same bullshit, where the Jaguar/Land Rover electric motors morph into Honda motors on F-1 Race Cars. The twitter feed is filling up with this line of bullshit as a shell language about British Petroleum (BP), Guantanamo Bay BRITISH SECRET SUBMARINE BASE, and assisted attempts by US government in league with Britain to take over Exxon/Mobil.

It’s about that oil leak that happened in the Gulf of Mexico, when a secret British submarine deployed from a fake US navy base on Cuba, was used to undermine Exxon/Mobil, in favor of HMS Oil at BP and Aramco.

The Aramco Oil, is British, not Saudi.

dhttps://twitter.com/ReutersUK/status/1361278051770859521

Think about convenience for a moment. You are big British Oil, HMS BP. You are bent and determined to take over the world, and everyone, and everything on it. You need big ammunition, and you need the very best, most convincing bullshit stories to tell. You need to look innocent all of the time, you need to play victim while you kill everyone, and take everything there is to take, so, Aramco is the ticket you need. You build out Aramco, so that when you sabotage Exxon you also sabotage your own Aramco, everyone thinks it’s Saudi, they see that Saudi and Exxon oil is both being targeted, and Iran is blamed. The Aramco is sabotaged in a controlled environment, a handy arrangement prepared with some affordably calculated sacrificial structures. That lures investigative professionals of the oil industry there, to Aramco, to make assessments of damage at a giant size fire, where those oil industry engineers are taken captive, so that the fake ones can say the Iran did the sabotage at the Aramco fire, and in secretly a HMS Battleship disguised as a oil company. All of that takes attention away from Exxon/Mobil, and focus of all of the oil industry shifts to Aramco, where a set of bullshit events took place as bait, all set up by number I O Downing Street and SIS MI-6 GCHQ and SAG Writers Guild, to help to take over all of the oil production all over the planet.

There is more complication to consider. You have to consider that blaming Iran is another controlled environment where victims are lured to when they investigate Iran involvement in anything they are said to have done, same goes for Syria, it’s a controlled environment where US State Department runs the show at those places. They do Iran terror rental service there, under State Department guidance where you go talk to Mike Pompeo, tell him what you need done, arrangements are made so that everyone involved in the rental of terror services around Iran all make a lot of money, gain power is mostly what they want, and any kind of resistance to real terror is drawn into the mix for take out and replacement. So, when Iran becomes the offensive, that means US State is the offender.

We have to take Twitter offline right now.

We have to remove number l O from Downing Street.

We have to do major remodel at Vauxhall Bridge, and we have to take Google into custody to make it work correctly and safely.

We have to remove the Vatican from Italy.

We have to round up all of the SAG Card holders, and take them to Easter Island, and drop them off there.

That will be a good start to restoring freedom all over the world.

none of that can happen without first making a safe perimeter around Portugal and Spain, all of the shore line there needs to be controlled by Global security forces who are opposed to captivity and slavery.

=====================================

4:11 pm:

I am trying to figure out the logic used to argue that Twitter stays active during global crisis of warfare commanded from within Twitter, and have been trying to figure that out for many years.

Is Twitter so powerful that their servers cannot be destroyed, or at least turned off? Power cut? I’ll pay for the wire cutters.

I don‘t think that is the problem.

I think the problem is about failure to see the size and scope of the threat to the people of the world that is presented on Twitter.

If there is logic to allowing Twitter to keep on Tweeting, by now, it has to be one of a sting sort of approach, one that can never work, because the Pope has 18 million followers is the reason it won‘t ever work to do sting from within Twitter. The terror army knows who everyone is, they can smell if an account is a bot, is a one of their own, or is a public safety person stumbling around in dark places that are all lit up with pretty colors for them to see with.

The terror on twitter can and does call to service many thousands of theme park employees from Universal Studios Tour and Disney, all of theme park employees are SAG members, those are the rules to work there, and the unwritten rules are that all SAG members are terror leadership, who command the millions of Canadian SDA, and in Asia, the whole city of Hong Kong is the equivelent of the Canadian terror army in USA. People that blend in, and look the same as the people where a British commanded take over is happening.

SAG gets their orders from Britain, Joe Biden gets his orders from Reuters UK. He is a puppet same as Trump, just a different faction of British puppet.

There are two kinds of British Puppet masters, as is explained on this account. The two kinds are basically Christian terror pirates who have been killing people all around the world for 2000 years, then, there are the ones who tried to take over those guys, that is SAG, amateurs, they did not realize that the Christian HQ they took over, were pirates, just thought they were religious people. So the SAG verity at Joe Biden HQ are basically a bunch of clowns who don‘t know WTF they did. And the others are the hardest of the hard core mass murderers who have 2000 years of warfare experience, and old proven deception tactics all worked out, and, those guys invented the Russian Mother of all Hoaxes, so, they are also masters of the Mother Hoax,which is unbelievably enormous.

Both of those groups are in control of Twitter, a sting from in there to catch a few bad guys is a losing proposition, won‘t work, cannot work, is a place where bait is used to catch other bait. One captured bait, is used to capture more bait, to use for capturing yet more bait. The investigative people are turned into “Fish eat fish” for ever inside of Twitter, meanwhile, it’s a machine that is always commanding the Pope’s 18 Million followers. no one is helped, and the march toward global domination keeps on marching as the internal sting is trying to catch a few bad guys who are put there for them to find.

Twitter has to come down permanently.

==============================

4:50 pm:

Other logic about why Twitter is still Tweeting, still advancing a fake virus that is effectively destroying the whole world and everyone on it.

I once had a conversation with people who held my family in a different kind of captivity then what am confined in now, back then, the captors were inside my house, now, they are outside my house, but I am still held captive.

They were the same group of people who hijacked Boeing, they were from Canada, and from Hollywood, and from Grants Pass. They were Eastwood Guitars, Dean Zelinsky Guitars, Grants Pass Daily Courier newspaper, they were the same people who exploded the WTC in 2001, they were Ron Howard, David Letterman, Ann Wilson, Roger Waters, David Gilmour, and Pacific Power Lineman were there with machine guns to make sure I did not escape, and there were many more who came and went from time to time while forcing me to make designs of all kinds of things they needed.

The conversation that I want to say was about “The Cloud”. I remember talking about the idea that a Macintosh SE30 can run a internet service if set up to run it. That idea was taken further into the realm of wireless technology, which did not exist at the time in the capacity we talked about, but the idea was that “The Cloud” could be an array of servers all remotely placed, in various places rather than in one central building, the wireless tech makes that possible, so the idea was to “Take an SE30 and set it up so that it can operate remote servers somehow, such that the RAM and Disc Space of every computer connected to the internet, supplies a small piece to a bigger picture, and does so without the user knowing their computer is contributing to the bigger picture”

So, take “The Cloud”, and some of that explanation and expand on that, with a Macintosh SE30 at the helm, putting the pieces together, routing the traffic, and building Twitter from a computer disc array that does not exist, an array that is composed of all computers everywhere, giving and taking from “The Cloud” to create the pre-packaged Twitter Time line that makes up the “Time Warp Terror” that we are experiencing.

This is beyond my expertise, but maybe Twitter still tweets because no one can find the nest it comes from. If so, the nest is everywhere, is “In The Cloud”.

One place to look for solid tangible stuff associated with the possibility of such a “Cloud” is a company called “Clearwire”. The company had acquired more cellular bandwidth when Television went digital in 2008 than all of the other providers combined is the way I remember that. Then, they were devoured by Sprint. All of the outbuilding of new, different technology they were building for wireless phone service went somewhere, but where did it go? I had invested a lot of money in Clearwire and wanted them to succeed, to provide different wireless phone platform technology than the kind we are using now. I lost all my invest, and the whole company and all of their assets were completely ripped off, all stolen, and the contracts were changed in the midst of the subject of the contracted work being done. The place was hijacked, along with that new wiz bang technology they had already installed and tested in some trial markets.

So, find all of that Clearwire spectrum, software and hardware and maybe that is the nest where Twitter Time Warp is coming from.

Twitter could be floating around in endlessly bouncing radio waves in the sky above our heads all the time, and never land on a hard drive until it is read by the individual user at Twitter. Something like that could explain why we are still slaves to the fake Corona Virus that is destroying the world. Still, no one has figured out that a small flame will kill the germs of a virus, it’s ludicrous to know that tens of millions of people can be so stupid not to know that.

The same small flame ignites the nitrous oxide carried by the terror army and that is why “The Science” can‘t figure it out.

=================================

5:56 pm:

Local Conditions:

About 40 degrees F, overcast, absence of wind.

I went out for a walk in day time for the first time in a long time.

Maybe two weeks, maybe three weeks since I have gone outdoors in the day time.

So, at Monroe’s terror cell, there were the sounds that are consistent with a terror soldier exploding, the call it “Burst” and past tense is “Bursted”, so, I think a female was ignited when I used my Bic Lighter on my walk, and a few ducks at Monroe ran away from the area where the Bursting seems to have occurred near the road, in Monroe’s front yard. There is too much brush to see that far from my driveway.

(This part of this tumblr entry of eye-witness of terror attack is deleted, as ordered by the Josephine county courts Honorable Judge Brendon Thueson on 3-15-2021. It’s notable that two terror soldiers died in the courtroom that day, I am bound by the courts not to explain further. There is no investigation happening of any of the reported eye-witness of terrorism that I report here on tumblr in absence of conventional means to make reports of terror activities, murders, or knowledge of coup details. The terror is wide open, wide spread, unchallenged, ongoing, and has absolutely no resistance to it other that me. I am the only person fighting on behalf of USA as the citizens are lined up to be slaughtered by their captors.)

As I stepped over by my gate, and the female at Monroe’s seems to have bursted, that is when someone from Dietricks at 601 Jackpine did the Shark Maneuver, had been waiting all day, maybe all week for me to go outside, and was signaled to do the Shark Maneuver by terror soldiers with access to listening devices that are all around and inside of my house. Dietrick’s white Ford pick-up with a flat bed car hauling trailer went passed, as he is supposed to do when I go outside, that is done to scare me back into the house .... (Censored by the courts)

My guess is that the national security people have been told that I am at (Censored) Jackpine, but I am not there, I am at my own house where I have lived for the past twenty-four years, (censored by the courts) from the pansy that is fucking with me through some kind of internet hacking that he is doing right now and I am not going to hesitate when I (censored by the courts)

6:53 pm:

Assholes (censored by the courts) Jackpine were in my yard today, they were messing with a couple of car batteries I have outside, one is Orbital Brand, one is other brand of Dry Cell battery. They already know where those at at in my yard, that same terror cell has been at the same address before at a time before Stephen and Lindsey Bell moved in about nine years ago, ...

... (Censored by the courts) when the entire Social Security Administration has been hijacked for the past twenty years.

(The Josephine County Courts are made aware of this account from time to time in public settings, and behind the scenes the courts do everything they can do to prevent the information presented on this [email protected] account from being seen, read, responded to for stopping the terror take over of USA that is reported here. The means, language, weapons, goals, leadership, and other details of a global attack on citizens world wide is contained in this tumblr account, but the courts and others suppress the information, and prevent me from reaching US national security personnel by other means, the courts find ways to censor the reported terror take over of USA.)

(Please send help)

(edits in bold were done on 3-20-2021 at 3:49 pm)

========================================

7:27 pm:

Looks like the local SDA Church members on from GPCC (sounds like Jeepy see see when spoken) on Russell are all working some kind of bullshit terror scenario to fool someone. Someone came out of Phillips 507 Jackpine (Global British terror leadership) where I have not seen any one for about six months, and that vehicle, a van with bright light on a trailer hitch, went to 600 Jackpine where Taylors used to live, have not been seen around for more than one year, and that property is a alternate use secret entrance and exit into the Jackpine neighborhood through that GPCC church and to and from Russell road. Others at Strongs and at Sunflower are also involved in trying to fool someone, it’s obvious. That 507 activity was in tandem with someone going to Freeberg’s at 535 Jackpine, in Jay Freeberg’s car. That car came from Sunflower terror cell on Russell as I stepped outside, so that they could begin running their game to fool someone else, those national security people who have been convinced this account is a cover for an occasional drug deal of a few pills.

It happens all the time, the national security people always wind up in a snare at Monroe’s cut in half with a sword mounted to a skeet shooter, with a motion detector, and it resets itself... There are many witnessed explanations of that on this account.

The people who are fooling the national security, are illiterate, they don‘t read English, that might explain some of the weirdness they are experiencing, because all of them try to read what I write online, but only know how to read a few of the words.

=============

8:16 pm:

I’ve been outside a number of times tonight, there is some kind of psychotic terror scenario going on, many terror soldiers involved, they seem to be upset about that female that burst at Monroe’s earlier. Strong’s terror cell at 3747 Russell Road are making a lot of signaling to someone, so far, the signaling seems to say that the Safari African Lion(s) are outside, on the loose, and that means the Lion Handler is having some kind of problem, it also explains some of the noises I have been hearing tonight in the neighborhood.

One or more of these:

This is not some kind of secret code. It’s wild animal, has big teeth, sharp claws, can run real fast if it wants to, they don‘t usually want or need to run. The Safari Lions can easily jump over a six foot tall fence, and have no problems with leaping onto a roof of most houses. On a communication device, screaming you may hear when your foolish national security people are caught by a Safari terror cell African Lion, may be followed with a sound like a loud “Pop” sort of noise, as if a hollow block of wood is struck with a drum stick sort of sound, that is the sound that is made when the Lion “Pops” the victims head, as they are trained to do.

To make it more challenging, the Safari terror cell has the Lions fitted with Pixel Suit electronic camouflage, as I have explained over, and over again while trying to get some help to arrive, but only assassins and fools show up.

One more time: The Lion wearing the Pixel Suit is very dangerous to encounter in Oregon while walking to the mailboxes. The only thing visible is the Lions tail and only the front part of their faces. and their paws. But the paws are also made not to show very easily somehow, I don’t know, maybe they are painted dark color.

Don‘t run from an African Lion. Stand your ground, and don‘t move.

I suspect the Safari Lions are being kept inside of the houses on Jackpine and are moved from one place to another regularly. The Lions are treated poorly, are tools, kept inside of small places until they are needed.

==========================================

February 16, 2021: 3:23 pm: Extra:

For investigation and follow up paper trail of murder associated to medical service providers since 2005 to my knowledge, probably longer:

Gabapentin

Metaxalone

Gabapentin is marketed as a pain reliever, one the works at the nervous system.

It does not work, is fake, a placebo, or some other bullshit.

When a patient goes to a doctor, or has a surgical procedure, there are digital record keeping that follows everyone who has ever gone to see a doctor. The information on the mandated digital record keeping goes way beyond health related matters, and the persons social security number is what drives the digital record keeping that was mandated by SAG leaders at the US congress many years ago, the days of a personal “Chart“ ended, and a new digital system was mandated, every medical provider was forced to comply with the mandate to go digital with patient records.

So, the record keeping is connected digitally to many places. The service provider, the Social Security Administration, and the insurance company are a few of the places that are updated with each doctor visit, and, those places are digitally informed in real-time when a patient goes to see a health service provider.

With that in mind, and add that the doctors are all fake now, the real ones are held captive or have been killed, and, the Social Security Administration is occupied and under control of SAG terror cell leadership. With that knowledge, now consider particular medication prescriptions, one’s like Gabapentin.

Gabapentin is prescribed by a SAG terror doctor to a patient who is said to have been marked for take out for having “talked or gabbed” about terrorism in the medical fields. The doctor looks at the medical digital chart, sees that “On-High” leadership at Sinatra SAG HQ, has marked that person for take-out, the hit order is done with coding in the digital charts, so, the doctor uses the patient to spread the word of the hit order by prescribing Gabapentin to the patient. When the patient goes to fill a prescription for Gabapentin, that is the same as hand carrying their own hit contract from the doctor to the terror cell at the pharmacies, who are also part of the patient’s digital chart. When the pharmacy see’s the Gabapentin, they know that the patient was marked, and the hit order is fresh, and active. The pharmacies make arrangements to SDA terror cells to study the victim, then make the hit, which includes the the victims are captured and tortured before they are killed in order for the terror army to gain access to assets, and contact information of extended family members, who are also tracked down and killed the same way.

The doctors are fake, are actors, but are VIP’s in the terrorism. They are protected with much cover by the terror army in many ways.

So, to find dead US citizens, follow the Gabapentin.

Same is true with Metaxalone muscle relaxer prescriptions.

Can the Tigers end a 15 year drought?

We’ve reached week 2 of the Auburn football season and the Deep South’s Oldest Rivalry is already upon us. Your beloved Tigers travel to Athens to face the hated Bulldogs for a pivotal early season top 10 showdown.

Auburn took care of business at home behind a strong 2nd half defensive performance and an opportunistic 4th quarter offense. The Dawgs looked like dog crap for two quarters before a QB change and a Hog meltdown eventually broke this game open. Both teams showed potential but both left this weekend with some important questions that still need to be answered.

For both of these teams to be taken seriously moving forward, winning this Saturday is important. The Dawgs especially face a ridiculous early season gauntlet that involves Auburn, Tennessee, Alabama, Kentucky and Florida. Lose this game and they could be staring at a 3-3 record come early November. As for Auburn, the schedule looks pretty light following this contest so a win would allow them to build some serious momentum heading into a home showdown with the LSU Tigers.

Plus it’s the DSOR. It’s a damn big game no matter the rankings.

Enough preamble though let’s get to the matchups.

CAN AUBURN’S RUN GAME BE SITUATIONALLY GOOD?

Auburn is not going to run the ball well Saturday. Just go ahead and prepare yourselves for that fact. This UGA front 7 might be the best unit the Tigers face all season and this young offensive line isn’t going to transform into road graders in just a single week of practice.

However, I don’t think Auburn needs a dominant rushing attack to win this Saturday. Chad Morris knows the strength of this offense is the passing game. For the first time in quite awhile, Auburn is schematically setup to operate in a pass first offense. So for the Tigers to win Saturday they don’t need 150+ rushing yards (though it wouldn’t hurt), what they need is a run game that is very good in important situations.

If this unit can convert 3rd & short downs and in the redzone, Auburn wins this weekend. That’s easy to type but gauging from this past Saturday’s performance it’s a tall ask for this inexperienced bunch. One of the big red flags from the Tigers performance against Kentucky was their failure to convert short yardage situations on the ground. The redzone ground game was ok with one score but could have had a 2nd touchdown if D.J. Williams hadn’t fallen down.

Auburn must be better on short yardage situations and they need to show the ability to finish off drives near the goal line. If the Tigers finish with a sub 4 yards per carry but are able to cap off drives or keep them alive on the ground then that should put the Tigers in a great spot to win this weekend.

AUBURN’S DEFENSIVE LINE MUST DOMINATE

Auburn’s offensive line isn’t the only unit that had its struggles this past weekend. Georgia’s talented but inexperienced unit had some serious problems with an average Arkansas front 7. The Dawgs only rushed for 121 yards on 42 carries. That’s 2.9 yards a carry. They also gave up 3 sacks and committed a number of penalties.

Yes there are some former big time recruits up front but this group did not look like the mighty UGA offensive line of years past. In fact, I think Auburn played a better unit this past Saturday in the `Cats. If the Tigers can carry over their play from that 2nd half into this weekend, they’ve got a great chance to turnTodd Monken’s much hyped offense into a one dimensional attack. From there it’s Auburn’s secondary vs an unproven QB with some talented wideouts. I’d like Auburn’s chances.

TURNOVERS LOOM LARGE

Both Auburn and Georgia were able to pull away late in large part due to their opponent’s completely melting down. Kentucky QB Terry Wilson dropped the ball at the mere sight of Jamien Sherwood and an ill advised fake punt lead to Auburn planting the final dagger of the afternoon. Arkansas was hanging tight but a blocked punt and a pick 6 turned a close game into a rout.

I don’t expect either teams to meltdown this Saturday but a turnover could be what decides this game. Yards and points will come at a premium so field position will be huge. Whichever defense can force the opposing offense into a critical mistake will likely be the team to escape with an important victory.

BO NIX HAS TO BE GREAT

For Auburn to win this game Saturday, the talk all next week should be about the arrival of Bo Nix as one of the best quarterbacks in the SEC. He looked very good against Kentucky but he’ll need to be even better against what will likely be the best defense he faces this season. He’ll have to navigate a pocket that could become compromised at times and do a better job standing in to deliver a key pass while getting hit. He’ll have to be smarter about how he escapes the pocket and create some big moments on broken plays.

I absolutely believe he’s capable of getting it done but it’s going to mean playing his best game of his career on Saturday. Auburn doesn’t need a game manager this weekend. They need a game winner. They need a quarterback confident enough to take some hits, get back up and deliver some dimes. He’s got the playmakers on the edge to attack this defense. It’s time he shut up a lot of doubters and end a 15 year drought.

War Eagle!

By Bucky Brooks, NFL.com Analyst The 2020NFL Draftis underway! You can follow all of the picks with ourNFL Draft Trackerand tune in to NFL Network, ABC, ESPN and ESPN Deportesfor live coverage. The draft will also be streamed live via the NFL app and ESPN app. Below is Bucky Brooks’ analysis for every pick by every NFL team. For reference, you can see every pick fromBrooks’ final NFL mock draftatMock Draft Central. 1) JOE BURROW, QB, CINCINNATI BENGALS The Heisman Trophy winner gives theBengalsa franchise quarterback to build around. As a quick-rhythm passer with outstanding poise, accuracy and playmaking ability, Burrow plays like a pass-first point guard running a fast break in the open court with a knack for getting the ball to his playmakers in their sweet spots. 2) CHASE YOUNG, EDGE, WASHINGTON REDSKINS Ron Rivera grabs the best player in the draft to fortify a defensive line that could feature five former first-round picks. Young is a natural pass rusher with A-plus size, athleticism, first-step quickness and technical skills. He gives the ‘Skins a Julius Peppers-like playmaker off the edge. 3) JEFF OKUDAH, CB, DETROIT LIONS TheLionstake a rock-solid cornerback with excellent man-to-man cover skills. He’s at his best in press coverage but displays the footwork and movement skills to shadow from afar. Okudah’s overall toughness and tackling skills will also stand out on the perimeter. 4) ANDREW THOMAS, OT, NEW YORK GIANTS Experienced offensive tackle (41 career starts) with the potential to play on either side of the line. Thomas is a rugged blocker in the run game but also displays the balance, body control and anchor to snuff out pass rushers off the edge. 5) TUA TAGOVAILOA, QB, MIAMI DOLPHINS TheDolphinsdidn’t have to tank for the QB they’ve been tied to for over a year. Tagovailoa has a game that reminds some of a youngDrew Brees, with his accuracy, anticipation and touch earning high marks. He is a franchise QB with the potential to elevate the play of others with his talent and leadership skills. 6) JUSTIN HERBERT, QB, LOS ANGELES CHARGERS Anthony Lynn wants to implement the Shanahan system with a mobile playmaker capable of thriving in a stretch-bootleg scheme. Herbert has outstanding arm talent and is a nimble athlete with the capacity to make accurate throws on the move. Playing in a play-action scheme that creates huge voids in the intermediate range should help Herbert thrive as a passer. 7) DERRICK BROWN, DT, CAROLINA PANTHERS ThePanthersneeded to fortify the interior of their defensive line with a disruptive force at defensive tackle. Brown is an absolute monster as an interior defender with A-plus size, strength and explosiveness. He is a high-motor player with impressive run-stopping skills and pass rush potential. 8) ISAIAH SIMMONS, LB/S, ARIZONA CARDINALS Simmons is an electric hybrid defender capable of playing anywhere on the second level. He is a unique playmaker with impact potential as a blitzer or cover guy vs. tight ends and running backs. It will be interesting to see how theCardinalsuse a multi-dimensional player with a rare set of skills and versatility. 9) CJ HENDERSON, CB, JACKSONVILLE JAGUARS Henderson is a polished cover CB with outstanding athleticism and movement skills. He flashes natural instincts, awareness and ball skills in coverage, and is efficient in man and zone coverage. Tackling was an issue but he is arguably the best cornerback in the class. 10) JEDRICK WILLS, OT, CLEVELAND BROWNS TheBrownsadd a bully to the offensive line with the size, strength and power to maul defenders in the running game while stalemating pass rushers off the edge. Wills played RT at Alabama but his footwork and athleticism should enable him to handle the blindside without a problem as a pro. 11) MEKHI BECTON, OT, NEW YORK JETS Mammoth OT with A-plus size, athleticism and movement skills. Becton is a natural LT with explosive strength and power and a nasty disposition. He finishes runs like a nightclub bouncer throwing guys out of the club. The Louisville standout also flashes the balance and body control to effectively shadow speedy edge rushers. 12) HENRY RUGGS III, WR, LAS VEGAS RAIDERS Ruggs gives theRaidersa speedster to man the vertical stretch role in the passing game. He is a spectacular runner after the catch, so he could be utilized as a WR1 despite playing as a WR2/WR3 for the Crimson Tide as a collegian. It could take him some time to adjust to the bigger role as a pro. 13) TRISTAN WIRFS, OT, TAMPA BAY BUCCANEERS (VIA 49ERS) The Bucs getTom Bradysome much-needed protection on the offensive line. Wirfs is an experienced RT but has the capacity to play multiple spots along the line. The Iowa standout is a freak athlete with outstanding agility, movement skills and explosiveness. 14) JAVON KINLAW, DT, SAN FRANCISCO 49ERS (VIA BUCS) The49ersget a natural replacement forDeForest Buckner. Kinlaw is a long, powerful defender with the capacity to play multiple spots along the defensive line. He is a disruptive defender with strong hands and a nonstop motor who fits the culture of the49ers‘ defensive front. 15) JERRY JEUDY, WR, DENVER BRONCOS Jeudy gives theBroncosa polished route runner with a game that’s plug-and-play ready. He can play in the slot or outside as a potential WR1 in an offense that creates big-play opportunities for playmakers. 16) A.J. TERRELL, CB, ATLANTA FALCONS It was imperative for theFalconsto find a CB1 in a division that’s loaded with pass catchers. Terrell is a talented cover corner with size, athleticism and a diverse set of skills. He can play in press or off, and has the potential to move inside as a slot corner. 17) CEEDEE LAMB, WR, DALLAS COWBOYS Mike McCarthy could see a littleDavante Adamsin Lamb’s game. The Oklahoma standout is an impressive playmaker with spectacular ball skills and running ability. He is a threat to score from anywhere on the field, and he gives theCowboysa potent set of pass catchers on the perimeter. 18) AUSTIN JACKSON, OT, MIAMI DOLPHINS A talented OT with natural left tackle skills, Jackson plays with outstanding balance, body control and lateral quickness. He has All-Pro potential from a physical standpoint but needs some time to refine his technique as an edge blocker. 19) DAMON ARNETTE, CB, LAS VEGAS RAIDERS Rock-solid CB with a steady game that’s better than advertised. Arnette plays with a technical savvy and discipline that’s common in veteran corners. He has the capacity to play press or off, and plays with outstanding vision as a zone defender. 20) K’LAVON CHAISSON, EDGE, JACKSONVILLE JAGUARS Jaguarsget an explosive speed rusher with outstanding first-step quickness and closing burst. Chaisson has big-time potential as a pass rusher, but he hasn’t put up the sack numbers to match his talent. He could make a major leap when he settles in as a pro. 21) JALEN REAGOR, WR, PHILADELPHIA EAGLES TheEaglesneeded a speed WR and they get one in Reagor. The TCU standout is electric with the ball in his hands, and he also displays the speed to act as a deep threat on the outside. With theEagleslooking to upgrade the weaponry aroundCarson Wentz, it is not a surprise to see Reagor get the call at this point of the draft. 22) JUSTIN JEFFERSON, WR, MINNESOTA VIKINGS TheVikingsget one of the best route runners in the draft to replaceStefon Diggs. Jefferson is an A-plus slot receiver but also has experience playing on the outside at LSU. He should be ready to make an immediate contribution asAdam Thielen‘s running mate on the perimeter. 23) KENNETH MURRAY, LB, LOS ANGELES CHARGERS (VIA PATRIOTS) TheChargerswanted to add an instinctive second-level defender to the mix to match up with explosive offenses in the AFC West. Murray is a terrific sideline-to-sideline playmaker with blitz ability and solid coverage skills. 24) CESAR RUIZ, C, NEW ORLEANS SAINTS Ruiz is a high-IQ pivot with solid skills as a run blocker. He doesn’t move defenders off the ball, but he holds his own at the point and effectively creates seams at the line of scrimmage. In pass protection, he understands how to use his neighbors to slow down overpowering defensive tackles and is strong enough to anchor vs. power. 25) BRANDON AIYUK, WR, SAN FRANCISCO 49ERS (VIA VIKINGS) The49ershave twin playmakers on the perimeter with Aiyuk joiningDeebo Samuel. The Arizona State standout is an explosive runner with the ball in his hands and his open-field running skills make him a threat to score from anywhere on the field. With Kyle Shanahan masterfully creating big-play opportunities on catch-and-run concepts, the49ers‘ offense is even scarier with Aiyuk coming on board. 26) JORDAN LOVE, QB, GREEN BAY PACKERS (VIA DOLPHINS) WithAaron Rodgerson the back nine of his career, thePackerswisely select a young quarterback to groom as his successor. Love is not a finished product at this stage of his career but spending a few seasons working on his craft in the shadows of the two-time MVP could serve him well when he takes over down the road. 27) JORDAN BROOKS, LB, SEATTLE SEAHAWKS Pete Carroll loves instinctive players with nonstop motors and physical playing styles. Brooks is a tackling machine with the capacity to stone runners in the hole or chase them down on the perimeter. He is fast, tough and productive with a knack for shooting through gaps. 28) PATRICK QUEEN, LB, BALTIMORE RAVENS The LSU standout is a sideline-to-sideline playmaker with quick diagnostic skills. He is an exceptional “see ball, get ball” defender with the speed, quickness and explosiveness to track down runners all over the field. 29) ISAIAH WILSON, OT, TENNESSEE TITANS If you want to maul and mash, there’s nothing wrong with running behind a mammoth OT with a powerful game. Wilson is a road grader with the capacity to blow defenders off the ball and his run blocking skills should work well with theTitans‘ scheme and offensive philosophy. 30) NOAH IGBINOGHENE, CB, MIAMI DOLPHINS (VIA PACKERS) The pick might stand out as a surprise but Igbinoghene is an A-plus athlete with exceptional straight-line speed and quickness. He is a press-only corner with a competitive streak that shows up on tape. The Auburn standout lacks natural ball skills, but he’s ideally suited to run around in man coverage as a former track star on the grass. 31) JEFF GLADNEY, CB, MINNESOTA VIKINGS (VIA 49ERS) Mike Zimmer gets a tough, hard-nosed CB with solid instincts and awareness. He has nice movement skills and athleticism, and shows enough versatility to effectively play man and zone coverage on the perimeter. 32) CLYDE EDWARDS-HELAIRE, RB, KANSAS CITY CHIEFS The LSU star is a pass-catching RB with soft hands and excellent route-running skills. He is one of the best pass catchers we’ve seen in recent drafts while also showing a tough, hard-nosed game that enables him to stay on the field as a three-down running back.

The 6 best offensive lines in the NFL right now

Matthew Emmons-USA TODAY Sports

Retired NFL lineman Geoff Schwartz checks in on the top two tiers of OLs a quarter of the way through the season.

Every quarter of the NFL season, I’ll be doing an offensive rankings of sort. I don’t like to rank 1-32, because there are always many units that are close in the rankings. So I’ll use the tier system. Heading into the season, we had the Eagles, Cowboys, Saints, Patriots, and Steelers in the upper tier, followed closely by the Packers, Bears, Colts, and Chiefs.

Let’s see where the offensive lines stand now.

The upper tier after four weeks of the regular season has three of the five from the preseason rankings: the Eagles, Cowboys and Saints. The Patriots’ injuries have slid them down, while the Steelers just haven’t been the same — possibly because of the quarterback situation, but more because they lost their offensive line coach, Mike Munchak, to the Broncos.

It’s also worth mentioning, as longtime NFL reporter John Clayton told me last season, the rule of 150. If your starting offensive line has a combined age of 150 or over, it declines fast due to older players’ diminishing skills and injuries. I hadn’t heard about it, but it applied last year to the Atlanta Falcons, whose OL got worse as the season went along. With a younger right tackle, the Steelers are right at 150, so according to Clayton’s theory, their OL is supposed to decline, which is showing just a bit.

But enough about which ones have fallen. Let’s get to the best of the best right now. These are no order, FYI.

The top offensive line tier

There are just three in this group, at least so far this season.

Philadelphia Eagles

It’s no surprise the Eagles are in this upper tier. They are monsters in the trenches, even with some injuries hampering them. What makes the Eagles’ offensive line so unique is they have big bodies. Brandon Brooks at right guard and Jason Kelce at center are playing at their usual high levels. Both tackles, Lane Johnson and Jason Peters, are ranked in the top 10, according to Pro Football Focus.

As a unit, the Eagles are 12th in adjusted line yards, second in power rank (needing 2 yards or less on third or fourth down), and eighth in stuff rate, all of those according to Football Outsiders. These rushing numbers are all without having an elite-level running back.

In pass protection, they are a physical group, highlighted by Johnson. Their tackles are almost always on an island and give Carson Wentz plenty of time for work.

Here are some highlights of their offensive line, brought to you by Brandon Thorn. If you want weekly offensive line breakdowns and videos, he’s the man to follow.

Brandon Brooks is one of the biggest guards in the NFL, but is also one of the most skilled. Through the first 3 weeks he's shown some impressive variance in his sets & hands. - Snatch & trap - 'Flash' technique - Jump set This after tearing his Achilles 8 months ago pic.twitter.com/J0qppO23Yy

Dallas Cowboys

The Cowboys might be the “best” offensive line through the first four weeks. I know, the Saints ate them up in Week 4, but one game shouldn’t change my opinion, or yours, for that manner.

I said before the season that Cowboys center Travis Frederick was the single most important addition for a contender. Having him back has solidified the offensive line and added some protection at left guard, where Connor Williams struggles at times. Zack Martin and Tyron Smith have been their usual excellent selves, and La’el Collins, fresh off a new contract at right tackle, is currently the highest-ranked tackle by Pro Football Focus.

The film backs up how Collins is playing:

Such a great rep by La'el Collins here to get the snatch in vs. Jordan 1v1 & put him on the turf pic.twitter.com/yVLz16Akc2

— Brandon Thorn (@BrandonThornNFL) October 2, 2019

The Cowboys are fifth in adjusted line yards, first in power rank, and seventh in second-level rank, which measures the yards earned between 5-10 on a given run. That shows me the Cowboys are opening up massive holes for the running backs. They are also playing smart football, which is something needed when running some of these RPO-style plays, as evidenced by Smith here:

Y’all ... freaking clinic footwork and execution by the @dallascowboys LT Tyron Smith on Dak Prescott’s long run. The Redskins run a gap exchange to force Dak to pull the ball and Tyron’s footwork and prep allow him to make a tougher block than it looks. Great work pic.twitter.com/V9IJFn3eSU

— Geoff Schwartz (@geoffschwartz) September 17, 2019

New Orleans Saints

The Saints had an outstanding offensive line last season and returned four starters — all but center Max Unger, who retired. His replacement came in the form of Erik McCoy, a rookie from Texas A&M. He’s had his ups and downs, but luckily for the Saints, his ups have been higher than his downs.

Look at this finish by McCoy against the Cowboys:

— Cole Cubelic (@colecubelic) September 30, 2019

What I love most about the Saints’ offensive line is their versatility. They run a wide variety of run schemes and they excel in their ability to execute those blocks. Here’s an example from Week 1:

This might be the best blocked run play of week 1! All of the @Saints lineman get a plus on this toss play, including rookie center Erik McCoy. Huge hole for Kamara to sprint through. Notice the finish by everyone! up!! @CoachPaintCH pic.twitter.com/5FG1uT11Ag

— Geoff Schwartz (@geoffschwartz) September 12, 2019

While they are big road graders, they also have nimble feet in pass protection, and their right tackle is one of the best in the game.

The second offensive line tier

A few units are knocking on the door of the first tier, but aren’t quite there yet.

Baltimore Ravens

Their offensive line has been great rushing the football. I was wrong on my prediction about Orlando Brown Jr., as I saw him more like Ereck Flowers. The big man has been powerful in the run game, leading this unit to the second-best adjusted line yards rate, while also being third in second-level yards. Also, Brown understands the pass pro isn’t passive.

There's some serious power behind Orlando Brown Jr.'s strikes pic.twitter.com/JtMG6NyNbR

— Brandon Thorn (@BrandonThornNFL) September 25, 2019

Lastly, left tackle Ronnie Stanley has come into his own and is having a Pro Bowl-caliber start to his season.

Indianapolis Colts

The fighting Quenton Nelsons! This dude is amazing at his job, as you’ve seen with the hundreds of videos I’ve posted in the last three seasons (including his last year at Notre Dame). The Colts are ninth in running back yards and seventh in adjusted sack yards.

They weren’t in the upper tier entering the season because of their right side, which is still the side of the line that’s holding them back. Don’t worry, though. They are still an above-average unit.

Green Bay Packers

The Packers continue to have a terrific tackle pass protection unit, led by left tackle David Bakhtiari. Their issue is at right guard, where Billy Turner hasn’t played well, and it’s messing up their pass protection at times. It’s hard to protect at tackle when the quarterback can’t step up in the pocket. The right guard is vital to the pass protection success.

Day One Hundred Seventy-Six

I was almost late to work because I forgot they were paving the road up to the high school, and I got stuck in the traffic jam. Buuuut I skidded into my classroom just before the bell. Phew!

Mrs. T and I went over our plans for the day, and then one of our students came in asking for help on his multi-genre project. Mrs. T got him squared away while I went down to check our mailboxes. I ended up chatting with Mrs. S and the SRO, who were there making coffee, and I got to impress the SRO with my bilingualishness (He’s very jealous I get to chaperon the trip to Spain). I’m seeming less and less like a hot mess every time he sees me. That’s a win.

Work on multi-genre projects continued in the Cavern of Learning. I had a great conference with a girl who’s struggled all year, doesn’t want to be in high school, avoids talking to adults as much as possible, etc... She wrote some truly powerful stuff about drug addiction, and I said so sincerely. It was beautiful work. The talk we had about the topic after that was the longest talk we’ve ever had, and it was a good thing. She may or may not pass my class, but I see progress here either way.

With no Civics class to teach block 5, I crashed Mrs. T’s Shakespeare class and ended up giving a bit of an impromptu lesson on Anne Boleyn. She came up in a tangent in the conversation they were having about Taming of the Shrew, and I will always toss my historical knowledge around if someone lets me.

After school I changed into some gym clothes and went out to play ultimate frisbee. Student council was putting on a tournament, and I’d volunteered to play on the faculty team because why wouldn’t I? I may have kicked off the afternoon by looking at one of my ninth graders (with whom there is much banter) and saying “Dude, I’m gonna crush you” in front of all the assembled teams. That might have happened.

Now, I haven’t played ultimate since college, and my throwing’s awful, but I can still catch. I caught one touchdown pass, and had one already-legendary diving roll that sadly did not result in a catch. Alas. We ended up losing by a goal in our first match, and Mr. S definitely might have to have his knee checked out at the doctor’s office, but it was a good time.

I mean, come on: running around barefoot on the stadium field, playing some ultimate on a perfect late spring day? Sitting in the grass afterwards to eat sandwiches from the shop down the street, watching an eagle fly overhead? Can’t beat that.

The Sprudge Coffee Guide To Richmond, Virginia

Richmond is one of those old east coast cities steeped in history and full of colonial memories, but brimming with modern charm. With the downtown area’s skyscrapers bumping up against old brick buildings and stone-paved roads, and farm-to-table eateries setting up shop in reclaimed factories, Richmond constantly reminds us of the past and the present all at once. This old confederate capital has become a progressive place for art and food lovers to gather in recent years and has a bustling and growing cafe scene catering to the hip and curious who are drifting to this capital city. The coffee community in The River City stands out in its camaraderie and supportiveness, often coming together for latte art throwdowns, cuppings, and classes. This kindly dynamic has led to a vibrant coffee culture and promises good things to come.

Chairlift

A charming coffee counter with perfect pastries, Chairlift shares its space with their parent restaurant, Brenner Pass. Coffee offerings from Blanchard’s Coffee Roasting Co and Passenger Coffee take the spotlight. Plenty of natural light and an abundance of well-groomed houseplants pair well with Chairlift’s beautifully presented espresso. As well, the breakfast sandwiches are a hearty and thoughtful combination of flavors—just messy enough to encourage you to sit in and enjoy the ambiance. And if that doesn’t bring you in, the top-notch wine, beer, and cheese menu might.

Chairlift is located at 3200 Rockbridge St Suite 101, Richmond. Visit their official website and follow them on Facebook and Instagram.

Lamplighter Coffee Roasters

With three locations around Richmond, Lamplighter Coffee Roasters has established itself as an area favorite. Their Summit Avenue location is a comfortable combination of old and new. This roastery cafe is housed in an old factory building, sharing the neighborhood with breweries, distilleries, and vintage markets.

Letters to the Editor (October 16, 2018)

Palladium Eagle sellout not result of favoritism

Small town dealer response to: “Palladium Eagle sellout and dealer offer upsetting” (from Sept. 14, 2018, online letter to editor that I read).

Don’t get mad at the U.S. Mint, as no favoritism was extended to dealers. Several large dealers offered to buy the 2018-W palladium Eagle coins from their smaller dealer and direct mail client lists. We sold ours for a quick turnover profit.

Sit back and see if the prices drop and then buy on the aftermarket to save money, or wait a year or two and buy the coin if it has a proven market demand.

Fred Beihl Rare Coins, Auctioneer Stewartstown, Pa.

Hobby undermined by 70 points; what will 100 do?

This question has pushed my hot button. One thousand times no!

The present 70-point scale has done more to undermine the coin collecting hobby than any other past decision. By making grading so difficult and complex, novice collectors are easily scared off from the hobby. The system has generated tens of millions of dollars for grading services at the expense of collectors and investors.

Investors and novice collectors have been harmed by overgraded certified coins issued by fly-by-night grading services. The system has given a bad name to the hobby, resulted in the departure of many collectors and discouraged potential new ones. I attribute the long-term decline of the hobby as due to excessive valuations precipitated by grading mania.

In fact, I decided to never join the American Numismatic Association precisely because of its decision to adopt the 70-point scale. The system has resulted in widespread grading abuse and misrepresentation of value. For years, I have watched people argue about whether a coin certified as an MS65 really isn’t an MS64.

Now, what will a 100-point system do? It will make all existing slabs obsolete. Those wanting to participate in the grading game will pay to have all their coins graded again.

Collectors who have figured out the current system will have to learn how to grade under the new system. More of the current pool of collectors will abandon the hobby. Investors will more easily be ripped off. New collectors will be less likely to stay in the hobby. More arguments about grading will occur.

After over 30 years of professional certification, I still prefer to buy uncertified coins in order to avoid arguments about the designated grades on the slabs. Collectors are not capable of greater grading precision without extensive, expensive training. Why take the fun out of the hobby?

If the objections I have raised are insufficient to kill the idea, go ahead and try it. I guarantee that I will not buy any coins graded using a new 100-point scale. Nor will I do business with anyone who trades in coins graded using a 100-point scale. If coin dealers universally decide to go with it, I will leave the hobby.

I remember visiting a dealer who graded his own coins rather than pay a certification service. I immediately departed his table when I saw a Morgan dollar graded MS62.5.

I was going to argue that the coin was only an MS62.4, but I knew that I would be wasting my time.

Bruce Frohman Modesto Calif.

No to 100, but get rid of present grading system, too

My opinion on this subject is completely opposite. We should not only avoid adopting a new grading scale but also eliminate the current one altogether. I’ll explain why I feel this way and why it’s made me stop collecting/investing in rare coins.

Coin grading is very subjective. You can get a dozen top graders in a room from the top grading companies (NGC, PCGS, etc.), and maybe two or three will agree on a specific grade. I’ve held thousands of graded coins in all grades and no two graded alike will ever have the same look, quality, etc., especially between two grading companies.

Also, the grading companies set the pricing standards based on their graded coins. Specifically, PCGS on its website states: “The PCGS Price Guide prices apply only to PCGS-graded coins. The PCGS Price Guide is a guide to assist the coin buying public in determining values for all important United States rare coins. Before you use the Price Guide, you should read the following information very carefully.”

If there’s a standard grading range, why isn’t the pricing standard per grade? Why would an NGC coin MS65 be less than a PCGS coin graded MS65 or vice versa? Another problem is coin graders are also coin dealers. How can you have the foxes guarding the hen house?

Coin grading was established to allow the dealers to extract more money from collectors and investors. This, in my opinion, is why the market is so soft now and has been for a long time even in this booming economy. Coin grading has taken the fun out of collecting and made it a business for the rich.

Coin grading should consist of only genuine or counterfeit. Rarity should drive the price and what each individual is willing to pay based on his own opinion of the coin for his collection.

Greg Bose Torrance, Calif.

Gong’s passing reminds us that friends are important

In candor, I have to admit that most of our exchanges and discussions that the late Lee H. Gong (1950-2018) and I had usually were in argument and disagreement, quite heated and temperamental.

This may account for Lee’s attempt on the “Queen of the Mist” in Niagara Falls, Ontario, Canada, to push me over. For years after, Lee would say, “didn’t push hard enough!”

But, through the 30-plus years that we were involved with our world of money, we remained committed to our hobby and to each other as friends.

There were rituals that we shared; our road trips, mostly reminiscing about the hobbyists that we had known, keeping our compatriot Lloyd G. Chan wearing headphones, and visiting coin shops.

Of course, since I was always the driver, in Lee’s huge GM full-sized pickup, it never failed: “stop, here’s a baseball field.” One of Lee’s passions was baseball; he once, during the 2006 American Numismatic Association Denver, Colo., World’s Fair of Money, endured with me at the then third-longest game in Major League baseball!

While baseball was a passion, Lee’s true love was error coins. For example, at the annual San Jose (California) Coin Club Show for years, he would set up his quite informative exhibit, staffing all three days of the show. At times, I would be positioned next to him at my combination table, witnessing Lee spending hours and hours expounding on error coins to anyone at his table.

In 2005, I was able to have Lee join the Babe Ruth of Errors’ team (his term) during the ANA’s San Francisco, Calif., World’s Fair of Money: the late Alan Herbert, Fred Weinberg, Syd Kass and Xan Chamberlain. The only time these five greats were ever together, sharing their error coin passion.

His other devotion and sincere support was to his beloved Redwood Empire (Santa Rosa, Calif.) Coin Club, for which he must have served over two decades as vice president and was partner in the dynamic duo with its long-serving President Merle V. Avila. They created an exemplary and enthused local coin club that might be the standard for what a good local coin club should be.

In fact, Lee preferred local coin clubs. His defense was simple: They are distant from the pantheon of the national elitist organizations plus the major auction houses with their glossy catalogs, or the established regional groups. There are the local coin clubs, as Lee would remark, “the grass-roots” of our hobby, with numerous local activists in the trenches, as he would add.

Lest it be forgotten, Lee’s other devotion was to the now closed G&G Market, his family-owned and operated business in Sonoma County for over a half a century, plus the only supermarket to issue its own wooden money and silver rounds. Many in Sonoma County grew up shopping only at G&G Market.

I could ramble further. In the end, I state that Lee and I were friends and equally intense servants for our world of money hobby. His passing is my loss and burden.

I am loth to close; yet, this quotation gives me hope and gives testimonial to our friendship:

“The bond between friends cannot be broken by chance; no interval of time or space can destroy it. Not even death itself can part true friends.”

RIP, Lee, My Friend

Antonio Brown is an MVP candidate. These 5 other non-QBs should be too

Wouldn’t it be fun if more players who aren’t quarterbacks were at least in the MVP discussion?

The NFL MVP won’t be named until the day before the Super Bowl in February, but it’s safe to assume that a quarterback will win the award. That was the case in nine of the last 10 years with only Adrian Peterson breaking up the monotony when he cracked 2,000 rushing yards in 2012.

With no running back close to numbers like that in 2017, it’ll likely be Tom Brady or Russell Wilson who earns the award. Carson Wentz may have been on the path to an MVP season with the Philadelphia Eagles until he tore his ACL in Week 14. That probably means his chances are toast.

The last time a position other than quarterback or running back won was 1986 when New York Giants linebacker Lawrence Taylor earned the honor.

So here we are, with Brady the favorite to win his third MVP award. Is it incredible that he’s been able to produce at 40? Yep. Is it exciting? Not particularly.

Especially after a week when Wentz went down, Wilson threw three interceptions, and Brady couldn’t do a thing against the Dolphins’ defense.

Let’s imagine a more compelling MVP race, instead. One where players of every position have a legitimate chance. Here are six candidates we’d choose:

The non-QB with a real shot: Antonio Brown, WR, Steelers

No receiver in NFL history has posted 2,000 yards in a single season. Calvin Johnson came closet in 2012 with 1,964 yards receiving. But Brown, who owns two of the top eight seasons in NFL history in terms of receiving yardage, has a chance at chasing the all-time best mark this season.

With three weeks to go, he leads the NFL with 1,509 yards and is averaging 116.1 yards per game. If he sticks to that average, he’ll finish with 1,857 yards — the third-best season ever.

But Brown averaged 156.8 yards in the last four weeks and exploded for 213 yards in Week 14 against the Baltimore Ravens. Another huge day like that, and the Steelers’ receiver will be on the brink of a record-breaking season.

Even if he doesn’t get there, he’s lapping the field and pushing his numbers far out of reach. Other wide receivers have definitely noticed:

@AB84 slow down, I’m trying to catch up sheesh!

— Deandre Hopkins (@DeAndreHopkins) December 11, 2017

Dear @AB84, Can you take a night off? Yours Truly, ALL Other @nfl WR’s trying to catch you.

— Golden Tate (@ShowtimeTate) December 11, 2017

.@LarryFitzgerald made the case for @AB84 as #MVP today: "I don't think there's anybody as dominant as he is in the game this year. He singlehandedly has won or put his team into position to win three, four games this year..." http://pic.twitter.com/cdXeSoUGUf

— 1580 The Fanatic (@1580TheFanatic) December 14, 2017

Fitzgerald makes a great point, in particular. Just last week, the Steelers were in a 38-36 hole against the Ravens and needed a play on a third down in Pittsburgh territory with just over a minute remaining. Like always, Ben Roethlisberger looked for Brown and found him for a 34-yard play that set up the game-winning field goal.

It’s no coincidence that Brown’s ridiculous play over the last four weeks coincides with the Steelers averaging 33.3 points during that stretch. He’s a spark plug that ignites the Pittsburgh offense, and if he rewrites the record books, Brown deserves more than just a spot on the first-team All-Pro list.

He’d be especially difficult to ignore if he played a big role in a win over the Patriots on Sunday. Bill Belichick even endorsed the idea of Brown being named MVP.

Brady is still the favorite to get the MVP award, and he could hammer that home against the Steelers. But Wilson, Brown and Wentz are the only other three with better than 10-to-1 odds for the award, and the Steelers’ receiver is picking up momentum to become the first wide receiver to ever be the AP NFL MVP.

The road grader: Jason Kelce, C, Eagles

Wentz is a huge reason why the Eagles are 11-2. He isn’t the only one responsible for Philadelphia’s resurgent 2017, though.

The Eagles have the tall task of winning without Wentz in the playoffs now, but it helps that they have a top-five defense and are No. 2 in the NFL in rushing yards. If they can keep winning with Nick Foles under center, maybe it’s a different player on the team who deserves some accolades.

Kelce, 30, has been a Pro Bowl center in two of the last three seasons, but 2017 has been his best year yet. While he’s just 295 pounds, Kelce uses his leverage and athleticism to pave the way for Eagles running backs.

.@Eagles #JasonKelce has a unique skill set and the Birds need to utilize it to help make up for the loss of @cj_wentz #BaldyBreakdowns http://pic.twitter.com/helffFv37z

— Brian Baldinger (@BaldyNFL) December 12, 2017

His run-blocking grade on Pro Football Focus (subscription required) is an impossibly high 98.0 — well ahead of Brandon Scherff’s 91.5, which is the second-highest mark in the NFL among offensive linemen.

Nine-time Pro Bowl offensive tackle Jason Peters went down for the year with a knee injury in October, and the Eagles didn’t miss a beat, largely because of the contributions of Kelce.

Offensive linemen don’t get much love in awards season, but Kelce has been an extremely valuable piece for the Eagles and a large reason for the team’s success.

The Swiss army knife: Harrison Smith, S, Vikings

No Sam Bradford, no Teddy Bridgewater, no problem for the Vikings.

The team is 10-3 with Case Keenum at quarterback, but Minnesota is about to lock up the NFC North title thanks mostly to its consistently tough defense. It’s a top-five unit against both the pass and the run, and it has held two of the most explosive offenses in the NFL — the Falcons’ and the Rams’ — under 10 points.

No player has been more crucial to that success than Smith, a sixth-year safety who will be a shoo-in for a third consecutive Pro Bowl and does a little bit of everything for the Vikings’ defense. He leads the team with three interceptions, is a force at the line of scrimmage against the run, and he’s a dangerous blitzer.

Vikings FS Harrison Smith rolling down into the box (thread): Blitz http://pic.twitter.com/RVMnS0azhu

— Coach Dan Casey (@CoachDanCasey) December 8, 2017

Quarterbacks throwing to receivers covered by Smith have a putrid 26.7 passer rating. He’s as irreplaceable as any defender in the NFL, and while the Vikings have managed to cycle through quarterbacks with success, there’s just no way the defense wouldn’t take a significant step backward without Smith.

The Legion of Boom savior: Bobby Wagner, LB, Seahawks

With Richard Sherman and Kam Chancellor both done for the year, the Seattle defense still somehow managed to slow down the Eagles in a crucial Week 13 matchup that saved the Seahawks’ season with a 24-10 win.

That was largely due to Bobby Wagner, who has been unreal for the team in 2017.

The highest graded LBs this season http://pic.twitter.com/FVsP5ecHad

— Pro Football Focus (@PFF) December 14, 2017

Wagner played the first half of a game against the Jaguars in Week 14 that was 3-0 at halftime. It’s no coincidence that the game finished as a 30-24 Jacksonville win after an explosion of scoring once Wagner sidelined for the remainder of the game with a hamstring problem.

It doesn’t bode well for the Seahawks’ chances at stopping the Rams in Week 15 if Wagner is still out of action.

Through 13 games, Wagner has two interceptions, two fumble recoveries, 1 1/2 sacks, one tackle for a safety, and a team-leading 115 tackles. Seattle’s playoff hopes hang in the balance with a few weeks remaining, but Wagner is a big part of why the team has managed to overcome as many defensive injuries as it has.

The dynamic duo: Jalen Ramsey and A.J. Bouye, CBs, Jaguars

Co-MVPs has happened a couple of times in NFL history, but those were cases of voting ties. In this case, let’s imagine the two Jaguars cornerbacks as a package deal because it really doesn’t feel right recognizing one, but not the other.

There are a ton of other players on the top-rated Jacksonville defense that deserve accolades — Calais Campbell, Telvin Smith, and Yannick Ngakoue, to name a few — but having a pair of lockdown cornerbacks affects every aspect of the team imposing its will.

Bouye signed a five-year, $67.5 million contract with the Jaguars in the offseason and has been worth every penny. He’s a technician at the position and leads the NFL in interceptions with six, and he has not allowing a single touchdown so far this season.

Don't throw at these guys. http://pic.twitter.com/Dre7GohX7T

— Pro Football Focus (@PFF) December 14, 2017

Ramsey was the No. 5 overall selection in the 2016 NFL Draft and has similarly lived up to his billing. He’s a freakish athlete who’s a bully at the position and unafraid to take on the best receivers in the NFL — getting the better of players like A.J. Green, Larry Fitzgerald, and DeAndre Hopkins so far in 2017.

The duo is assisted by a pass rush that leads the league in sacks with 47, but the Jaguars’ defensive line is also helped by the fact that quarterbacks rarely have anyone to throw to.

There are many reasons why the Jaguars finally shook off a decade of losing to become one of the most fearsome teams in the NFL. Their set of excellent cornerbacks are at the top of that list.
