2011

IOWA

Recovery time is granted as a courtesy and requirement. It sets Natasha’s teeth on edge but even she can see that Clint needs it.

She wants the next assignment, the almost dying part not really phasing her. She’d almost died many times before.

If she was a cat, she would have used her nine lives by now. It doesn’t mean the panic for Clint doesn’t permeate into her dreams.

She dreams that she can’t breathe, and wakes up gasping, when she gets back to sleep, she watches Clint gasping for breath.

She performs CPR only to break his ribs and watch him die anyway.

It’s disconcerting and always results in her focusing on him sleeping into the hours of the morning.

He comments that she looks tired, but she always retorts that he does too.

.

There’s a cabin south of Iowa, he invites her to, she knew he had it but they’d never been able to go.

The dainty log cabin smells musty when they arrive, but as soon as it’s aired out, Natasha takes in all the details.

Surrounded by trees, the cabin is four rooms, a kitchen and main room all together, a bedroom and a bathroom.

There’s wood everywhere; bow and arrows on the walls, and a shot gun for good measure. He watches her surveil the place and stands in place, waiting for her assessment.

“Whatddya think?” he smiles.

“Did you make these arrows?” she asks in awe, touching them and continuing to look around.

“Yeah,” he nods, “the bow too.”

The wood fire sits inert and Clint promises to light it at night.

“Come for a walk,” he offers, taking her hand and leading to her to the door, “the weather is good and we can gather some wood.”

Natasha smiles and grabs her jacket as they head out.

The lake surrounds, birds chirping and flowers line the path they take.

It’s renewing in a way she’s never felt before; maybe that the air feels fresher than in the city, and whilst since they’d been released from hospital, breathing had been a little more labored, it feels like it can loosen off.

“Pick some flowers,” Clint prompts, “I’m going to get some twigs and kindling.”

It feels like an odd request, but Natasha follows it, starting with small flowers, pink ones that have tiny petals, she then finds some white ones, cutting them cleanly with her switchblade. She moves away from Clint and finds other flowers, longer ones that look like bells, the purple blending with the others as she traverses around the lake.

The yellow flowers spread everywhere, and she chooses them more selectively. Large petals, and smaller cone shaped ones.

As she heads back up the incline, Clint calls for her to come over.

“This one too?”

The delicate blue wildflowers were small, easy to pick and went well with the bunch that Natasha had picked

“They were my mums favourites,” she smiles.

She holds the bunch up for his approval and he smiles.

“Perfect,” he tells her.

They walk back, conversation easy, light gossip and commenting on the world around.

“Do you think it will storm tonight?” Natasha asks.

Clint shrugs, opening the door and allowing Natasha to enter first.

“Maybe, depends if the temperature drops, then you’re in for a chance.”

They both go about unpacking some food and Natasha starts cooking and cutting vegetables.

He sets about lighting the fire then puts her flowers in water and smiles as he places the forget me nots to the front.

“Tell me about her,” Natasha asks, “your mother? What was she like?”

There’s a beat of silence before Clint acquiesces.

“She loved nature. I think we would have got an animal if it wasn’t for him. I think she knew that if we did it would become another thing for him to destroy or use against us, but she made it up in other ways.”

He moves to the kitchen to help her, grabbing a carrot and chewing on it.

“You don’t have to talk about it if you don’t —“

He waves her off.

“Nah, I want to, otherwise she just lives in my memories, and I’d like her to live in yours too,” he smiles, crunching down.

“She had brown hair, maybe a bit shorter than you, smart but in a clever way. Not book smart I think, as she struggled to read, but the way she could deduce and read people was easy. It always made me wonder how she ended up with my father.”

Natasha turns the portable gas heater on, and passes him the chicken for cooking.

“Did she like to cook?”

Clint laughs.

“No, not at all, we would eat the same thing over and over, meat and vegetables, or potatoes; there were lots of potatoes.”

He takes onions and places them in the pan.

“Barney liked to cook,” he says a bit more softly, “he’d take over from my mother when my father wasn’t home. He loved making sauces and mixing flavours.”

The sizzle on the chicken is loud and so the next words feel more for him than anything else.

“He found Barney once, cooking with my mother looking on, yelled and ranted that it was women’s work. He threw the hot saucepan at him and burnt him across the arm, here,” he says gesturing to his forearm.

“Barney still liked to cook, but was just more careful about how he did it after that.”

Natasha stands next to him.

“I’m sorry,” she tells him.

“It’s okay, I was telling you about her, not him.”

Clint puts the next piece of chicken on the small fryer.

“She liked stories, any stories. So I’d tell her them from school, also, Gus; he had the best stories, so I’d tell her them too. I think she liked to think about them, maybe they helped in some way.”

Natasha takes over the fryer, motioning to the cooked meat for cutting.

“She could be forgetful, and told me things usually more than once, but I didn’t mind. She had the kind of voice that when she spoke you’d listen regardless of what she was saying.”

He stops cutting and thinks.

“I think she would have liked you,” he says generously.

Natasha looks to the pretty little flowers.

“Yeah. I think I would have liked her too.”

.

The distinct smell of the wood fire brings Clint out of his nightmare. The disorientation makes him freeze on the spot dampening his breathing so that he doesn’t wake Natasha.

He ruminates on the images the dream produced, the dodging of beer bottles before one caught him, the way he was small and his father was big, and his mothers face, blood coming out of her mouth and the familiar bruise covering her cheek and throat.

He sorts the images and finds the truth in the lies, then separates it further, smelling and grounding himself with Natasha’s gentle breathing and the smell of the fires.

He’d hoped talking about her would be cathartic, and in a way it was. He’d just not anticipated the memories it produced.

He sighs wanting to get up but knowing it would wake Natasha.

If they get married, he’s not going to become like him. He’s not his fathers son, he is his mother’s though.

He pulls out his phone and googles how far it is to visit her and settles back down with a plan for the next day.

.

The grave reads Edith’s name, the date of her birth and death and words that read ‘beloved mother’.

The fact that she has a headstone at all is something Natasha can’t help but comment on.

“The circus helped us pay for it, it came about a year and a half after her death, maybe 6 months we’d both been there. We agreed to work for free to get it done.”

Gently, Natasha moves the moss and Clint pulls the weeds around it.

It takes them some time but they clear it and make it neat in its appearance.

Natasha pulls the little bouquet of forget me nots she’d picked and places them down.

Clint hugs her and they stand side by side in silence.

.

The ride home is comfortable, soft country music playing as Clint taps his finger to the beat.

“Do you think my mother has a grave?” Natasha asks, a question she’s never thought to think.

Clint reaches across and holds her hand.

“I hope so,” he says, squeezing it.

“Maybe she had a sister or someone to lay some flowers at her grave too,” she hopes.

Clint nods.

“Maybe she’s hanging out with my mother, wherever they may be.”

Natasha smiles, then laughs.

“They’d tell lots of stories to each other I think,” she says.

“My mother would like that,” he nods.

“Are you okay?” Natasha asks, squeezing his hand.

“I know you had… dreams last night, but do you think this will make sleep hard as well? Can I do anything?”

Clint shrugs.

“I don’t know. Maybe? Nothing you can do, but maybe we can play a game or watch a movie together before sleeping.”

He sighs.

“It’s been a long day.”

Natasha nods, opening the window then closing it with the smell.

It breaks the mood and he laughs.

“Cows are certainly an acquired smell,” he grins.

.

“She liked magic too,” Clint offers, the movie finishing.

“Can I show you some?”

Natasha feels a curl of excitement.

Giving him her full attention, he produces a bunch of flowers.

It makes her burst out laughing.

“Can you do it again?”

He pulls a coin from her ear and then makes the flowers disappear again.

She takes the coin and rolls it over her fingers.

Clint nods in approval.

He smiles again.

“One more.”

From her ear, he produces two rings.

“I know we were dying, and that you may have just said yes—“

She doesn’t even let him finish.

“I want to marry you Clint Barton,” she tells him, taking the rings off him and examining them carefully.

Both of them thin, one with a red ruby and the other larger in size but just as thin, the metal infused with a purple hue.

“They’re for us, like your necklace, no one has to see them.”

He loves that she puts it on straight away, kisses him again and then tries to imitate the magic trick.

“Teach me,” she requests, “show me how to do magic just like you do.”

During her teen years she moved to Racoon City per her father getting a promotion, only to move to a city a few miles away before the outbreak.

once the outbreak had hit, her father took the initiative to turn the hotel he was managing into a safe-haven; enforcing the walls, making sure there’s a good food supply etc. turning a few floor rooms into hospitals wings as well

granting her the role of main helper, MinYa is in charge of welcoming newcomers and managing those who are ill. As well as making sure everyone is fed on time and is keeping on top of their medication. She helps maintain the peaceful atmosphere and deals with those who are facing issues with other survivors. While not exactly part of her job, she’s often seen maintaining the garden outside and playing with the kids.

Her mother and sister had passed prior to the outbreak, their ashes were put into vases which currently sit in her hotel room.

OrangeDMC’s Annapurna Base Camp Trek: The Ultimate Adventure

The Annapurna Base Camp trek is one of the most breathtaking and iconic trekking routes in the world. Nestled in the majestic Himalayas, this trek brings adventurers face-to-face with the grandeur of snow-capped peaks, lush forests, and diverse cultural experiences. For those seeking an adventure that combines physical endurance with unmatched natural beauty, the annapurna base camp trek promises memories that last a lifetime. If you're ready to embark on this incredible journey, here’s a detailed guide on what makes this trek so exceptional and how to prepare for it.

Overview of the Annapurna Base Camp Trek

The Annapurna Base Camp (ABC) trek, located in Nepal, is known for its striking scenery, cultural richness, and thrilling paths through various landscapes. The trail traverses a variety of environments, from lowland villages and rice terraces to high-altitude alpine zones. Trekkers reach an altitude of approximately 4,130 meters at the base camp, where they are rewarded with panoramic views of Annapurna I, Machapuchare (Fish Tail), and other towering peaks. The trek typically takes around 7 to 12 days, depending on the route and pace, making it accessible for trekkers of all skill levels with adequate preparation.

Why Choose the Annapurna Base Camp Trek?

The Annapurna Base Camp trek is more than just a physical journey; it’s an immersive experience in the heart of the Himalayas. Unlike other popular treks, the ABC trek provides a mix of cultural interaction and ecological exploration. Passing through Gurung and Magar villages offers trekkers a glimpse into Nepal's rich cultural tapestry, which has warm hospitality and fascinating traditions. Furthermore, the trek’s natural diversity is unmatched, ranging from bamboo forests to rhododendron blooms in the spring, adding a dynamic beauty to the trail.

Highlights of the Trek:

Stunning views of Annapurna South, Hiunchuli, and Machapuchare

Exploration of traditional Gurung and Magar villages

Vibrant flora and fauna, including rare birds and animals

The unforgettable sunrise at Annapurna Base Camp

Preparing for the Annapurna Base Camp Trek

Proper preparation is essential for a successful Annapurna Base Camp trek. Since the trek reaches high altitudes, trekkers should focus on both physical conditioning and mental preparation. Start training at least 4-6 weeks before the trek, focusing on endurance, strength, and flexibility exercises. Include cardio workouts, such as jogging or cycling, to improve stamina and strengthen leg muscles.

Packing Essentials:

Clothing: Layered clothing is crucial due to changing temperatures. Pack moisture-wicking base layers, insulating jackets, and a waterproof outer layer.

Footwear: Sturdy, comfortable hiking boots are essential, as the terrain can be challenging.

Backpack: A comfortable and durable backpack with enough space for essentials.

Trekking Poles: Helpful for stability, especially on steep ascents and descents.

Health Supplies: First-aid kit, altitude sickness medication, and personal toiletries.

A Day-by-Day Itinerary for the Annapurna Base Camp Trek

Here’s a general itinerary for the Annapurna Base Camp trek, which can be adjusted based on fitness levels and weather conditions.

Day 1: Arrival in Pokhara

Most treks to ABC start from Pokhara, a serene lakeside town and base for many Himalayan adventures. Trekkers can spend this day relaxing by Phewa Lake and preparing for the journey.

Day 2: Pokhara to Nayapul, Trek to Ghandruk

From Pokhara, a short drive takes you to Nayapul, the starting point. The first day’s trek is relatively easy, reaching the picturesque village of Ghandruk, known for its traditional houses and panoramic mountain views.

Day 3: Ghandruk to Chhomrong

The trail to Chhomrong is challenging but rewarding. Chhomrong, a charming village, serves as the gateway to the Annapurna Sanctuary and provides fantastic views of Annapurna South and Hiunchuli.

Day 4: Chhomrong to Bamboo

From Chhomrong, the trail descends to the Chhomrong Khola River, followed by a steep ascent to Bamboo. Named for its bamboo forests, Bamboo offers a tranquil atmosphere surrounded by lush greenery.

Day 5: Bamboo to Deurali

The trail becomes steeper as you approach Deurali. Trekkers experience a change in scenery, transitioning to a more alpine environment with sparse vegetation and colder temperatures.

Day 6: Deurali to Annapurna Base Camp via Machapuchare Base Camp

This day is the most challenging yet rewarding part of the trek. After reaching Machapuchare Base Camp (MBC), trekkers ascend to Annapurna Base Camp, surrounded by a circle of towering peaks. The views are unparalleled, with Annapurna I towering majestically overhead.

Day 7: Annapurna Base Camp to Bamboo

After watching a glorious sunrise at the base camp, trekkers begin the descent to Bamboo, retracing steps along the familiar trail.

Day 8: Bamboo to Jhinu Danda

The trek back continues with a descent to Jhinu Danda, where trekkers can relax and rejuvenate in natural hot springs.

Day 9: Jhinu Danda to Nayapul, Return to Pokhara

Best Time for the Annapurna Base Camp Trek

Ascend gradually, allowing your body to acclimatize.

Stay hydrated and avoid alcohol.

Listen to your body; take rest days if needed.

Consult with your guide if you experience any AMS symptoms.

An Unknown Invasion of America

There was an unknown invasion of the U.S. in 1952 during the Cold War by the U.S.S.R. It involved farmer genocide by the ultimate farmer genocide machine. The Mascot Resort in Hackensack, Mn. was stolen along with silver foxes of incalculable value and 1,000 acres of forested land with a lake. A publishing house, barn, animal hospital and 60 room lodge were obliterated.

A booklet "Mascot Foxes" at the Minnesota Historical Society explains the business that was attacked. It includes photographs of the estate. It was like a small town surrounding Lake Schone-awa-gosh. There's also an article about the Mascot Ranch in the Hackensack Centennial in the Cass County Museum. It's unfortunately not accurate as it was written by some of the perpetrators.

The creator of this paradise was my grandfather, Arthur R. Maeser. He had the unique business of silver fox fur farm franchise. It was the only one of it's kind that spanned at least 3 countries including PEI, Canada and Bavaria, Germany. At times he had four fox fur farms one located in Alaska and one in Hackensack. His logo is on the internet at Wikimedia Commons: File: Maeser Fur Farms, Hackensack, Minn. (1926).jpg.

I have searched history for the reason for these senseless & heinous crimes. I believe it was revenge by the U.S.S.R. for America preventing their invasion of South Korea. Revenge typifies the U.S.S.R. After of the Cuban Missile Crisis of 1962 our former president J.F.K. was assassinated by the communist, Lee Harvey Oswald in 1963. I don't believe Oswald acted alone. That would be atypical of communists. It would be revenge for the U.S. blocking shipment of missiles to Cuba. That was an act of war and illegal in international law.

There was revenge also during the Cuban Missile Crisis. The Soviets established missiles in Cuba following the U.S. placement of missiles in Turkey. In 1961 the communist Fidel Castro overthrew Batista in Cuba. The U.S. retaliated with the Bay of Pigs maneuver which failed. So now we're surrounded by communists in Cuba and Hackensack, Mn. My family estate is isolated so anything could be going down up there. It could be a stockpiling of weapons and spies. But our legal system has been informed of these events and remains unmoved.

It seems likely that after the Cuban Missile Crisis that the Maeser estate is being used for missiles. It is, at least, a terrorist sleeper cell. I only became aware of the incident when I did research on my grandparents whom I had never met. It was then that I discovered that the man on my birth certificate was no relation of my grandfather as he had claimed to be. Yet he had the same last name. He told me A.R., my grandfather had two sons. That's alias which is what Alaska means in Russian. We bought Alaska from Russia. I saw Dean's mother, Adelaide Burnson/"Maeser" was in a newspaper article in Alaska in the 30's on a boat headed for Hackensack. How can a boat go to Hackensack? Perhaps Dean & Adelaide were from Alaska or Russia.

The woman on my birth certificate, Nina (rough anagram for nanny) Zaslawec/Zaslawitz could not have been my mother either. As I believed Dean was a eunuch since he had no facial hair. Moreover, how is it a woman from the U.S.S.R. got married to a man of German ancestry after WWII?

It doesn't seem as though anything they said about themselves were true. Nina bleached her hair blond all her life. I also had blond hair. But her real hair color was black. Dean's hair was also black. It's also unlikely that the Zaslawecs were legal immigrants. They spoke what they said was Ukrainian. Never taught me that language. Being from the U.S.S.R. they must have been mafia. Because that's what the communists are.

I could find no census on Zaslawecs. Except in 1950 they were listed with my grandfather. My grandmother, Amy was no longer there. She'd been with him in 1920-1940. In addition, although my grandfather's only son, Arthur Frederick was with him in 1940 working as a farmer by 1950 he had disappeared. I believe he's my real father.

This last census was very odd. I don't believe it's accurate. It wasn't released until last year. Dean and Adelaide were also on that census in 1950 calling themselves Maeser. Supposedly living with my grandfather. His other 3 children, two daughters & his son had vanished. By 1953 the entire family had vanished according to county tax records. Very strange when they had resided there since at least 1927. They never sold the property. Around 20 buildings also disappeared. I was told it had been a fire. It must have been deliberately set when so many buildings went up in conflagration. So that's why I consider this incident to be murder & grand theft.

The choice of this location & the various facets of it are associated with magic. Joseph Stalin, whom I believe was the mastermind behind these crimes was known to have a magician for an advisor during the war by the name of Wolf Messing. Magicians rely on disappearances for their tricks. They renamed the lake on the Maeser estate Webb. It's probably not a legal name change. They had to change it to disguise the perpetrators. It was devised from the last 3 letters of Zaslawec. Changed the last letter to obfuscate. That's also why they destroyed so much of the property. To fool the investigators. They effectively put people to sleep or hypnotized them into faith. Nina's sister's name is Vera which means faith. Her husband was an anesthesiologist.

Zaslawec's church is an important clue also. It's St. Catherine's Ukrainian Orthodox Church in Arden Hills, Mn. St. Catherine was a Korean martyr in the 19th century. She was also a patroness against the United States! (catholic.org/saints/saint.php?saint_id=9)

I found many doubles of the people in my case. Dean the double son, Adelaide the "double" wife (no evidence of a second marraige for my grandfather), several Arthur Maesers across the U.S. that were the same age as my grandfather's son, and even a man about my grandfather's age with the same name in a different locale. The lying in this case is stupendous!

There's reason to believe these people in my faux family were Jewish. Karl Marx, co-author of the "Communist Manifesto" was Jewish. Adelaide, Dean's mother had a sister, Helene Grouse who was married to a Jew. Generally, the Jews stick together. So I suspect Helene and her sister Adelaide were also Jewish. Then if you connect that to Adelaide on a boat near Alaska in the 30's she must have been from Russia. That was in the newspaper article in Alaska. I'm sorry I did not note which edition of the newspaper it was in. I didn't think anything of it at the time. Alaska was originally Russian and America bought it in the 19th century. Alaska means "alias" in Russian. That name should've been a red flag to the U.S. When that translates to "Alias Russia" then we bought Russia. Which means we became Russia!

Connecting Jews with Russians in Adelaide and Dean Burnson "Maeser" makes me perceive Wolf Messing who was also a Jew helping Russians. Dean seems to have been imitating him. Dean and Nina even got a house on Wolf Lake in Dassel, Mn. later in life. They were attempting to eradicate my grandparent's vision of heaven with Maeser magic.

This is my new theory...as I consider the communists to be satanists. I have done extensive profiling of the communists. This includes a review of their attack on Ukraine in 1932-33 that resulted in the Ukrainian genocide with what history records as a famine. The book, "Harvest of Sorrow" discusses that incident. I think it may have been cannibalism by Russia as I don't believe communists are interested in farming. They're also opposed to family and income derived from capitalists. What remains for survival is theft. That's directly from Karl Marx. Stalin was a known thief, kidnapper and implied killer before he became a communist. CIA knows the communists to be mafia. Khodorokovsky's book "Russia Conundrum" also recalls Putin as a dealer with the mafia.

I did a profile on Jews, as well. You will want to hear this! Where to begin? I will start the explanation with the Christian religion. It's an innuendo for the Sun-god religion. That was the religion of ancient Egypt where Jews originated. The story goes that Jews were slaves that escaped from Egypt. I believe they left to seek new lands. To expand Egypt. Much of Egypt was desert by this time.

The Christian religion is known by experts to have influences of the Sun-god religion which was the first known religion. In "The Power of Myth" the author, Joseph Campbell with Bill Moyers describes the similarities of these two religions. Not surprising when you realize that Jesus Christ was a devout Jew himself. He was born in a Jewish country, his mother was Jewish and the 12 apostles were Jewish. Jesus attended synagogue regularly. That was from a PBS website.

But the most obvious clue stems from my own observation. The son of God is a pun for Sun-god. What we have is a religion in Christianity that's actually a revival of the Sun-god religion couched in new terms. We are still in Egypt! I believe the Jews are attempting to rule the world with Christianity. They deny Christ is their messiah. That's probably a lie.

The other idea I've tracked with Jews is that they're the communists in Russia/U.S.S.R. Because Karl Marx, co-author of "The Communist Manifesto" was Jewish. I believe he invented this political party for Jewish domination of the world. Marx's name means god of war. The communists are militants. Marx wasn't just any Jew. He was descended from a long line of rabbis. It's in his biography on the internet.

So what would Jewish gangsters as communists be doing in Russia? They're attacking Ukraine for one thing. I suspect this is their portal to Egyptian rule. They are pharaohs in Russia! Pharaohs are not good. They were cannibals that made slaves of everyone. They had no laws or money. The pyramids were their curse upon the world. They should not rule the world. Russia doesn't have laws either. The internet was very uncertain about that. And communists are opposed to private enterprise which stimulates economy.

There's an English connection to the communists, as well. The last queen in Russia was Alexandra who was English royal family. Moreover, Marx and Engels lived most of their lives in England. Their book was first published in England. England may think they're getting control of everyone with the communists. They probably paid Marx and Engels to write their book. But the Jews have another idea.

What could make this even more clear is that Marx was probably a rabbi also. It would not skip a generation. This was never stated in his biography but not everything is known about people in the past. Then you could see that he was a malevolent gangster bent on destroying Mankind. That he intended to rule the world.

What's more, Josef Stalin was likely a rabbi, as well. He was known to have religious training. Who sought control of the U.S. by tagging the Maeser town. We can now perceive pharaohs riding us like chariots to their glory.

This is why Dean used the two sons for his crime case. Jesus Christ was like a second son when he was resurrected. This strategy was employed to make an illusion of Egypt.

It was not a random crime but a political one. They would not have destroyed the lodge and publishing house if it was just about profit. There were many people that were perpetrators from my impression. The current "owners", Lynn & Michelle Johnson recall Lyndon B. Johnson, former president during the Cuban missile crisis. Lynn's father was a farm hand. Likely he was a farm hand at my grandparent's farm, a probable perpetrator.

There was also Bill Burnson claiming to be former manager of the Maeser farm. He was brother to Adelaide, Dean's mother. There was another guy, "Clem" Tony Plattner. He was near Dean's age. He had moved to Tucson, AR. I spoke with him on the phone. He said he was a friend of Dean's. He also pretended to be grandson of A.R., my grandfather via Ethelwyn, the first daughter. I could find no corroboration of Ethelwyn having a son by that name.

Then there was the executor of the estate, Walter Maeser. He coincidentally had the same name as A.R.'s brother who lived in Seattle. He was never appointed to be executor by the court and was no lawyer. Another case of identity theft. I gleaned this from tax records on Birch Lake Township, 1953. This is what the county called Mascot "A" Ranch. When I got the tax records later most of the information had changed.

Here's an interesting detail about Jews. They believe they're the chosen ones (wikipedia.org). They think they were chosen to be in a covenant with God. In other words, they think they're superior to everyone else. (bibleproject.com: "Who had God chosen?") Deuteronomy 7:6="For you [Israel] are a people holy to the Lord your God. The Lord your God has chosen you out of all peoples on the face of the earth to be his people, his treasured possession."

Who is this God who discriminates? The early Egyptians believed the pharaohs were gods. That's what they were told. This is why the Jews believe they were chosen by God. They were relatives/slaves of those they thought were God(s). They think the pharaohs are their ventriloquists.

I can make the Bible even more clear. It's an allegory. Like "Animal Farm" by George Orwell. Or "Pilgrim's Progress" by John Bunyan. It's an insidious quest to disseminate the Sun-god religion. So pharaohs will rule again. Jews seek to gain power in the world with their religion.

Okay if you enjoy mummies, scarab beetles and scary monster statues of cross species. They're controlling the USDA with kosher collective agriculture. Endangering people and the environment by killing pollinating insects and birds with pesticides. Destroying the land with chemical fertilizers. They will also instigate biblical prophecies like the apocalypse.

Their God was not benevolent either. He demanded sacrifice of human life as was done to Jesus Christ. Ivan the Terrible, first czar of Russia understood that command. He killed his own son. In order to be a god. History reports this murder as accidental. I think not.

Since early on the Russians have been fanatical Christians. They probably have more churches & monasteries than anyone else. There are over 600 temples, churches & chapels in Moscow (bridgeto moscow.com). There are over 5,000 Russian Orthodox churches (newzealand.mid.ru). Moreover, the last czar, Alexandra & Nicholas Romanov relied implicitly for advice from the missionary, Rasputin. It is said that Rasputin was the true power behind the throne.

Furthermore, the Bible does not dispute cannibalism. There are Bible quotations that permit that. (Genesis 9:3) " Everything that lives and moves about shall be food for you."

Because of the Jewish kosher diet they are believed to have genetic Crohn's disease. (cedars-sinai.edu: Ashkenazi Jewish Genes Linked to Crohn's) Because of insects, vegetables and fruits are taboo. (oukosher.org)

This, in turn, could cause Crohn's disease/IBD. IBD has potential to trigger mental illness such as depression and anxiety. There's 40% higher incidence of depression among IBD patients. 30% with IBD have anxiety. (uchicagomedicine.org). So we may conclude that Jews are more physically and mentally ill than the general population. It may account for their bizarre ideology.

Was this an invasion by a foreign government at my family estate? Invasion, according to en.wikipedia.org: "...forcing the partition of a country...with the objective of either conquering; liberating or re-establishing control or authority over a territory..." Since some of the people involved were probably illegal immigrants this implies foreign aggression.

People from the mafia have two central philosophies: collectiveness and secrecy. They have a collective mentality which opposes individuality. Each clan is called a Family. It's a mechanical social orientation. (wp.nyu.edu/steinhardt-appsych-opus/identity-therapy-and-womanhood-humanity-in-the-mafia/). Therefore, the communists did not act separately on this incident. This was a group effort.

Christianity is a plot to kill the world. To restore the Sun-god religion and everything it stood for. It is synonymous with a satanic conspiracy. We must prevent this!

It's not as unlikely a scenario as you might think. There was a revival of the worship of ancient Egyptian gods in 1970 with Kemetism (en.wikipedia.org). 5,000 years later there are still goddess Isis cults. Groups such as the Fellowship of Isis. Isis cults even spread to England. (huffpost.com; nationalgeographic.co.uk).

There are probably other allegories on the theme of the Sun-god. I'm reminded of it in Tolkien's fantasy "The Hobbit". It's something to be wary of. Because there are probably no other monarchies as evil as the pharaohs. Why I've compared it to Satan. It appears to me that the pharaohs did nothing but curse everyone. Even hieroglyphics, their alphabet seems to be curses. Their tombs were covered with curses. They were nasty!

Here's the mind-boggling conclusion. I think I've solved the Russian conundrum! The most illuminating data I found on the Jews was their symbolism. Their flag is the Star of David, a hexagram. A hexagram is a hex for one thing. It's used in occult practices and ceremonial magic. It signifies the Egyptian ankh. The hexagram is known as the "King's Star" in astrology. (wikipedia)

For me, the intersection of two triangles implies a curse upon humanity & the return of the pharaohs. Jews are witches. It could even be said that Israel is the pharaohs. The term "Ra" another reference to the Sun-god is included in the word Israel. The pharaohs have morphed into incognito. I assume that's for protection.

It's all about the eyes, i.e. the Eye of Horus. That's another ancient Egyptian symbol. There are various interpretations of that symbol. Most of them have to do with omniscience. Much like the modern God. Could imply immortality also. I would translate it as an antique type of security.

It so happens that the first letter of Israel is "I". I correlate that to Eye of Horus. Italy is another word that begins with "I". Former home of the Vatican...What has Italy got to do with anything? For one thing, Italians were in Russia long ago. Ivan the Terrible's ancestors were Italian. He brought in Italian architects to design the Kremlin and St. Basil's Cathedral in Moscow. They did a wonderful job!

I suspect that czar Ivan IV was a missionary. That he never had children of his own. He gained control of Russia by killing landowners and stealing their land. Much like what was done to my family. He called himself "czar' which translates from Russian as "Caesar". Who was the king of Rome back when. The mafia in Russia currently are probably Jewish Italians.

So what did Italian mafia want with Russia? It's location and size I speculate. Egypt was focused on giant structures such as the pyramids and statues of their gods. The Kremlin palace is one of the largest in the world. Russia is the largest country. Also, it's located in the top center of Europe. That implies the Eye of Horus.

The location of my family's land in Hackensack, Mn. is approximately top center of the U.S. So again we have an Eye of Horus. That's probably why the Jews took it.

The U.S. is another case of "mistaken identity". There's an Eye of Providence which includes the Eye of Horus on the dollar. America begins with an "A" which is a pyramid shape. More Egyptian symbolism. Who is the Congress?

What occurred in Hackensack, Mn. at the Mascot "A" Ranch in 1953 was an example of insurgency. Insurgency is defined in wikipedia as a violent, armed rebellion by small, lightly armed bands who practice guerilla warfare from primarily rural base areas against a larger authority. That's how the communists took over Russia. Stalin was a guerilla who committed crimes while hiding in the mountains. This is what they're now doing in America. That's what they wanted my family estate for.

In fact, almost all the cities have been shrinking as has the population in the U.S. The stock market has also shrunk. Disease rates have been climbing, as well. This is atypical ! High rates of homocide are at least one factor for this. The communists could be another.

The communists have been killing Americans at least since 1963. It's documented that a communist killed former president JFK in 1963. The Warren Commission concluded no evidence of conspiracy. But it surely was! Oswald, JFK's assassinator lived in U.S.S.R. in 1960. He married a Russian and had a child with her. Then he returned to America in 1962. There he socialized with Russian emigres. He also distributed leaflets on pro-Castro in New Orleans during the Cuban Missile Crisis. He also visited the Russian Embassy in Mexico City in 1963. Jack Ruby shot Oswald at police headquarters when he was arrested for shooting JFK. How did that happen?!

JFK was an enemy of the U.S.S.R. His foreign policy was dedicated to opposing communism and the U.S.S.R. The U.S.S.R. certainly had a motive to eradicate JFK. So that's what they did. By the time JFK was eliminated so was my family. This set the communists in motion to do what they did to JFK. It also likely triggered the Cuban missile crisis. Possibly set the trap for the Korean war during the Cold War. Perhaps even laid the foundation for the Vietnam War.

There's more to understand about Judaism. The book, "The Power of Myth" by Joseph Campbell, Bill Moyers explained that the goddess Isis was the inspiration for the Virgin Mary. If so, then it follows that her husband, Joseph was Osiris and her son, Jesus was Horus! When Jesus was resurrected this symbolized the Eye of Horus. And why does the pope wear a Jewish cap?

In addition, the crucifixion is derivative of the Egyptian ankh. This is a symbol of a cross with a loop on top. It's supposed to have positive symbolism. But if you view it from the perspective of the pharaohs you might see as I do that it's actually a curse. Curses are how the pharoahs kept their power.

What is the real significance of the Eye of Horus that makes it so central to Judaism? I believe it's a psychological paralysis to achieve domination. This symbolism creates an idea of being surrounded. While many of the ideas of ancient Egypt were primitive they were geniuses at witchcraft. Horus had a falcon's head. This image certainly could cause fear. Pharaohs retained their leadership with these fantastical creatures.

I also think Horus was a god of war. I could not find research that corroborated this. But it's implied. In fact, Horus's eye was torn out in battle with his uncle over the position of king. Just as Karl Marx's surname meant god of war. Probably derived from the Roman god of war, Mars. Marx was another servant of Horus as are all the communists.

More symbolism of the Eye of Horus is the Holodomor or famine of Ukraine in 1932. This was more than just famine. The Russians were executing 75 Ukrainian men daily by shooting them in the head. JFK was shot in the head. Killing my grandather's only son, Arthur Frederick was another potential murder with the Eye of Horus in mind. Shooting men in the head infers the Eye of Horus. This act confers godlike attributes to the perpetrator. It's how they accomplish slavery.

It should be known that the first czar, Ivan the Terrible was probably Jewish. His name, while a common Russian name is also Jewish. Not just a biblical name but common in Israel. The Russian Jews are a trick: mind control. Dean, my faux father was also likely a Russian Jew. Most likely, Josef Stalin, former president of the U.S.S.R. was also a Russian Jew. I have no documentation for this theory but it seems probable that what we have for leadership in Russia/U.S.S.R. is now and always has been Russian Jew.

4/14/24: Please note that Ivan the Terrible's name begins with an "I" (eye). Let's do some more Cold War history. JFK's brother, Robert F. Kennedy (both had the same middle initial as my real father, Arthur F. Maeser) was also assassinated in 1968. This was during his run for presidency, having won 5 states. Five is the magic number for communists. They had 13 Five-year Plans. Putin has five letters in his name. My family was killed in 1953. The year of the Ukrainian famine began in 1932. 3 + 2 = 5. That would be a numerology technique. Nina and Dean were born in 1932. Nina's birthday was in April which has five letters. This is a communist signature.

The interesting thing about RFK and JFK is that they were both journalists before going into politics. My grandparents were publishers. I have another journalist who clashed with the U.S.S.R. His name is Gareth Jones. There's a movie about him "Mr. Jones". G.J. had an exclusive on the Ukrainian famine in 1933. He secretly visited the Ukraine against the rules of Russia. He was arrested and then warned not to disclose what he had seen.

G.J. was murdered in Mongolia allegedly by Chinese bandits. What was that motive? But its believed that he was murdered by communists seeking revenge. His great nephew, Nigel uncovered evidence of that conspiracy. His other great nephew, Philip Colley has a website "garethjones.org". His niece also wrote a biography about G.J., "More than a grain of Truth", by Dr. Margaret Siriol Colley.

According to Philip, Britain was blackballing G.J. along with the U.S.S.R. Of course, the "Red Queen" Alexandra Romanov was partly English. As were the authors of the "Communist Manifesto"...at least, they lived there most of their lives. That book was first published in the U.K. So I believe the communists are just aliases of the Romanovs (and England). That's the connection. Why would England back U.S.S.R. in WWII when their queen Alexandra was supposedly killed by communists? That probably never occurred either. There's no proof the royal family of Russia was ever killed. What we have instead is a passion play about Christ.

Anyways, we know how the communists like to suppress the media. It's likely they do so in countries other than their own. They established a coven in Hackensack, Mn. for that purpose, no doubt. Among other nefarious objectives.

As for the perpetrator of the RFK murder the accused was Jordanian/Palestinian., Sirhan Sirhan. The enemy of the Jews was convicted. But the evidence did not support that accusation. The bullets fired were not from Sirhan's gun. Also, there were 13 shots. Sirhan's gun could only shoot 8. 13 is a communist conspiracy (13 Five-Year Plans). (britannica.com) RFK Jr. believed that there were conspiracies in both JFK and RFK murders. There were conspiracy theories. RFK was attorney general for JFK and convicted Jimmy Hoffa who was involved with the mafia. Was it the Russian mafia? That could be dangerous!

Since we're on the topic of journalism it could be relevant to discuss the Patty Hearst kidnapping case in 1974. She claimed to be kidnapped by the Symbionese Liberation Army. Her father, William Randolph Hearst was a publisher. He also happened to publish Gareth Jones' articles on the Ukraine. The S.L.A. had similar ideology to the communists although they did not call themselves that. Patty was arrested for bank robbery with the S.L.A. The name of Hearst is English German. The communists probably didn't kill the family because A) they did not have much land and B) he was from England.

4/21/24: I did more checking into the Hearst name. When I first looked at it the site I went to said it was an Anglo-Saxon name. Then I got a hunch and inquired if it was a Jewish name. So it is! Its Jewish American probably derived from the Ashkenazic surname Hirsch. Its also believed to have English origins. (familysearch.org:Hearst family name) I was surprised that he published Gareth Jones but I verified this. Those articles are at "garethjones.org/margaret_siriol_colley/randolph_hearst1934.htm.

I would recommend reading these. They are a first-hand account on "Russia's Starvation". Its very heart wrenching! "Tell Them We Are Starving" is Jones' book from 1933 Soviet Diaries of G.J. Its important to know what the communists are capable of. G.J. risked his life to help the Ukrainians. He's a hero to them. He died Aug. 12, 1935 under mysterious circumstances at the age of 29.

That death date got my attention. It had the same numbers as my family's demise and also that of Stalin...1953. 5 + 3 is a magic number for communists. I recall the magic eight ball when I was young. You asked it questions and it would give answers. They might still sell those.

Jones was kidnapped and murdered. I was kidnapped, grandchild of a publisher. My family was murdered and their property mostly demolished. Seems to be two sides of the same coin. Could be the same issue as Gareth Jones. The communists were seeking media control especially on the Ukraine Holodomor. Maybe grandfather published on that incident. He probably knew about it because he had business in Germany at that time. Germany was the first to get an article about the famine from Jones.

Do we have anything to fear in guerilla warfare? Cuba was overthrown in a coup by Castro with guerilla warfare. That was 1956-58 hiding in the thickly forested Sierra Maestra mountains. Cuba is still a communist country. Communists now have us surrounded with Cuba and Hackensack, Mn. Soviets used guerilla warfare "irregular tactics" in Afghanistan fighting the Mujahadeen. (hsdl.org: "Roots of Russian Irregular Warfare")

Domestic and international terrorist groups located in the U.S. are demonstrating guerilla warfare today. (digitalcommons.usf.edu: "Combating the 21st Terrorist Cell Within the U.S.") Guerilla warfare has been used throughout history with some success. The American Revolution was won with it. One of the most successful guerilla wars was led by George Skanderbeg against the invading Ottoman Empire in 1443. (wikipedia/study.com) Green Berets in the U.S. teach it. Sun Tzu, alleged author of "Art of War" was the first known strategist from circa 6th B.C.E. to advocate this type of warfare.

Are you ready for an astonishing conclusion? The English are using the communists as an alias. They are the ones trying to regain reign over America! Vladimir Lenin, first leader of the Bosheviks/communists in Russia has an English surname. Remember John Lennon of the Beatles rock group? Lenin is another spelling for Lennon. It means "cloak". As in disguise. This wasn't Lenin's real name but nevertheless. He was a spy for England.

4/23/24: I feel compelled to discuss the fur farming industry which has been attacked by various animal rights groups. I admit that the standards for humane fur farming are woefully inadequate. There should at least be more regulations about fur farms. I don't like their cages which lack walls in the photos. They should also be able to get exercise. There are other issues, as well.

But there is hypocrisy in this topic. Those who sympathize with fur animals have no problem with their leather apparel or animal food. Why does no one complain about birds being slaughtered for down clothing? I deduce from this inconsistency that this is a political or religious issue rather than sincere objections to inhumane farming. Other animals and birds are abused on farms too. What about zoos where animals are confined to cages who are accustomed to roaming also?

Banning fur farming reduces our choices. This supports communists. Yet from my internet readings awhile ago the communists have been one of the biggest fur traders in the world. St. Petersburg used to be the largest auction site for furs. All the Russians have furs. They even have fur blankets! I suspect they're trying to get a monopoly on fur sales. This would put them in charge of everyone....

I was watching a movie "Hellboy" which was inspired by the idea that Grigori Rasputin, the Russian priest and advisor to the last Romanov monarchy did not really get killed in 1916. This opened a portal to hell which was supervised by Rasputin. Hellboy was his child, a demon. Now I view Russia as hell. They're doing this to get supernatural connections. Stirring fear into people to get control. Its probable that Rasputin didn't die in 1916. That it was a lie designed to open hell.

By the way, the 1917 Bolshevik/communist revolution has the number 8 (1 +7). By calling this a magic number I mean that it creates a blank in the mind, a psychological blind. This is what magicians do. Its why the communists are using it with numerology or straight, To get away with crime and other corruptions. I suggest that eightup to symbolizes revolution to the communists.

Communists are using numbers symbolically. It's what numerology is. It was a Pythagorean theorem many years ago. My birthday has three fives. I was born in August the eighth month. This is probably not my real birthday. Nina's birthday is also interesting. She was born April 16, 1932. April is the fourth month. Add four to 7 (16) = 11. Jones death was Aug. 12. 8 + 3 (12) = 11.

Perhaps Jones was the primary impetus for the attack on my family. I was never told about the publishing business my family had. The couple that raised me did tell me about the fox farm, however. Although revolution and profit probably were operative motives, as well. The attack of 911 also adds up to 11....Gareth Jones' death signaled revolution as did other crimes involving communists. These crimes were not occurring in a vacuum. They are part of an overall strategy to dissolve democracy. Crimes are committed by terrorists and in guerilla warfare to overcome opposition to their political incentives.

Here are some other numbers that prove my point about eight. Ukraine famine began in 1932. That's a five (3 + 2). 21 years later (2 + 1 = 3) in 1953 my family was murdered and their estate demolished. That's 3 + 5 = 8.

We should also know that Karl Marx and co-author Engels were against family. Incredibly they called married women prostitutes. They were probably instrumental to the current disintegration of family in this country. This is also the result of more poverty. This can only be harmful to everyone but especially children. Love is now a four letter word like hate. And there are other nasty words. Like Tina Turner sings "What's Love Got to Do With It?" That's an apocalyptic perspective.

5/7/24: Here's an even spookier glimpse at what Nina's birthday could mean. Perhaps it's a referral to the death of Rasputin in 1916. That makes Nina the neo-Rasputin! Bringing hell and damnation to the world via Hackensack. Was she the devil?! Very likely the personification of the devil. Who was Horus...

It's difficult to understand why anyone would prefer hell and the cessation of life. Unless you know what it would be like to grow up in a commune as Russians have to do. It was what I did but I didn't know it. We lived in new houses in a good neighborhood in the suburbs. My real family saved me from despair. People need privacy to be wholesome and well. Communes should not be forced upon us. Only evil can reign from such accommodations.

5/8/24: There's something to know about Rasputin. This was not his real name. It was Novykh. That name could be Jewish or Czech. It means newcomer. Novykh was given the name Rasputin because he was so licentious (immoral). It means debauchery. Rasputin was considered to be a monk or mystic. He was illiterate and never had an official position with the church. It seems odd that such a man would become pivotal in the Nicholas II monarchy. In fact, he attempted to kill Anastasia Romanov. (fandom.com). He was an evil man and was attributed to the fall of the monarchy.

Is the name of Putin derived from Rasputin? Probably. Then you know where Putin is coming from...

I traveled to Russia in 1974 with my college. I had traveled to Europe in high school. So I'd seen a fair number of countries by then. Russia was the worst country I'd seen! They would not allow autonomous sightseeing. They showed very little of the sights. I was confined to my hotel most of the time. It was a dismal hotel. I was studying a course while I was there so I had to spend time on that. I saw no pedestrians, no shops. This was Moscow. We could only see the exterior of St. Basil's Cathedral and the Kremlin. I also viewed Lenin's tomb where his "body" was displayed. It was very depressing!

5/14/24: Here's more about Rasputin's death. 1916 adds up to 8 (1 + 9 + 1 + 6) in numerology. That magic number which portends transformation. His death was intended to transform the government of Russia. The monarchy had already established a Duma government by then. They had darker intentions. Rasputin was no monk although he is usually described that way. He had a family. What monk has family? Rasputin was a demon and necromancer. He was the curse of Romanovs...

As for Dean, I think I saw him more clearly. He was trying to be Horus as I think all Jews would do. Killing the owner of a fox farm and publishing company provided him with that status. Horus was the king of Egypt. It's a coveted position.

Another problem with Jews. They want kidney donors. Kidneys are the most sought organ in the U.S. Jews have Crohn's disease. It's a consequence of their religion. But human organs must be living and there are a shortage of donors. Read "Blindsight" by Robin Cook about the black market for human organs. People are being killed for their organs! Why children might be kidnapped. People who want to be gods and live forever will kill for kidneys.

The Russians began colonization in Alaska by enslaving the Aleuts. They were indigenous to the region and made their living by seal fur trading. Russians kidnapped their families and made them give up their seal furs to them. This is a modus operandi of the Russians. To steal and KIDNAP. Eventually the Russians established a fur trading corporation in Alaska.

On July 7, 1911 four nations signed the seal fur treaty. They were Russia, Great Britain, Japan and the U.S. This ended the killing of seals on the high seas. Now only Alaska can sell seal furs. (fws.gov) This ruined the livelihood of the Aleuts and the Russians. That must've angered the Russians. Could this have triggered communism in Russia?

I also have another question about the treaty. Since when are the hunting of wild animals collectivized as the seal fur trading was? No other wild animals are totally prevented from being hunted by private hunters. This was an attack on private enterprise.

Perhaps the Russians kidnapped the American economy. In 1929 17% interest rates crashed the stock market. It was also the year the Vatican got their own country. In 1933 the Agriculture Adjustment Act collectivized agriculture in the U.S. Then president Roosevelt said "There's nothing wrong with communism". In 1933 the Agriculture Adjustment Act collectivized agriculture.

(7/23/24) I've gotten some new insights! Why the Egyptians mummified their pharaohs. They believed they could keep them alive by doing so. There are three spirits that reside after death within the preserved bodies. Compare this to the trinity in Christianity...The three spirits are ka, the life force spirit, ba, the personality, and akh, the spirit of the deceased person (historyextra.com).

Beware of the names beginning with "ka" or even "ca". Princess Kate, Kamala Harris, VP, etc. are some examples. They are the undead! Not technically, of course, but in the imagination and in political strategy they are zombies. Manipulating the subconscious to do their bidding or that of the pharaohs.

There's a problem with the ecology in the U.S. and I believe the Jews are behind this. Destroying the environment in order to rule. Kidnapping children to facilitate their reign. The mosquitos have been eradicated in Minnesota, for instance. This has killed off other creatures in the food chain, most notably birds but also frogs and fish. Bears and wolves have also been extinguished in Minnesota and other states, as well. When larger predators are eliminated the smaller animals become over-populated. This can lead to starvation. Hunting for us is also eliminated. Another food source is destroyed.

The DNR is lying about the wildlife. I was up in Lake of the Woods canoeing and camping as a teen. There were no mosquitos in the woods then. I saw one bird, a heron. I saw no animals or heard no birds. It was too quiet! Someone has sprayed pesticides throughout the forest up there. Is it to avail the guerrilla warriors camping up there?

There's a campground on my family's land now. That's the new development. To establish communism everywhere. It's a bad omen... It's a safe bet it's there for guerrilla warriors to hide out.

The Jewish phobia of insects is catapulting the entire planet into jeopardy! Minneapolis, Mn. has no mosquitos either. I can recall as a youth dreading the buzzing noise of mosquitos. I lived in a suburb of Minneapolis then. Mosquitos were referred to as the state bird we had so many. Pesticides must have been sprayed over Minneapolis and other cities. Read on to discover the effects on humans of pesticides.

Pesticides can trigger elevated cancer risks, potential disruption of the body's metabolic functioning as well as the reproductive, immune, & nervous systems (ifm.org). We need to restore our state bird! Our ecology and very survival depends on it!

I have surmised that the U.S. is under siege. We are being surrounded, our food sources are being undermined. Our farms have shrunk from over 90% in the 20th century to 2%. Much of our food has to be imported from Mexico and Canada. Hunting has vanished.

Here is how it's being done: (ojp.gov/ncjrs/virtual-library/abstracts/urban-guerrilla-warfare-united-states) This analysis of the threat of urban guerilla warfare in the U.S. concludes that simultaneous attacks on key cities could disrupt the economy and possibly destroy the government.

The strategy is sabotage of the environment, farm produce and stock market. Even children are being sabotaged by kidnapping. Important positions might be impersonated to wreak havoc. We could rename America "Pandemonium"...

To whom do we owe this catastrophe? Consider this. The name of England begins with the same letter as Egypt.

8/15/24: I have received 14 newspaper articles which refer to the Maesers and/or their corporation, Maeser Fur Farms, Inc. It was provided to me by a journalist in Alaska. I can't go into every detail but I did learn a few things. Like there were two farms in South Dakota that were owned by International Fur Farms which was another Maeser corporation. One was in Watertown and the other was in Aberdeen. This was revealed in the Brainerd Daily Dispatch, Nov. 13, 1929, p.1: "File Involuntary Bankruptcy Action Against Fur Farm." This was a ridiculous notion as sales were reported between $4,000,000 and $5,000,000. I had read that some of the individual fox owners who were being assisted at the Hackensack farm were attempting to get reimbursed for not getting any sales. That's ludicrous as anyone who invests knows there are no guarantees.

One of the articles that might be interesting is a report by a journalist who visited the "Mascot "A" Ranch". This was in Albert Lea Evening Tribune, Oct. 28, 1927, p. 11: "Mascot Silver Fox Ranch is Investigated". Mascot Ranch is reputed to be the largest in the world. There were 60-70 visitors the day the journalist visited. 97 employees. Tour of lodge, auditorium above print shop. Free moving pictures and books. They had their own band. "Splendid morale". Carpenter shop, blacksmith, herd of cattle, 300 pens, farm machinery, feed house. Animal hospital led by Dr. Hopkins. There were chickens to feed the foxes eggs. 20 cottages for some employees. Large printing plant. Two weekly newspapers are printed. 2 miles of lakeshore + 1,000 acres owned by Maeser. Company store clearing house for milk, eggs, garden products from their farm. Raised German Shepherds. Maeser is a pioneer in fox industry. Reporter stayed overnight. Breakfast served before nine. Visitor is impressed...

Brainerd Daily Dispatch, June 23, 1928, p. 3: Purchase of Pine River Sentinel Blaze by the Northern Minnesota Publishing Co., Inc. of which A.R. Maeser is president. Ansgar Anderson was retiring publisher.

Albert Lea Evening Tribune, April 28, 1927, p. 12: "Fox Farming Told by One Interested'. Wayne C. Liddell, district sales supervisor of Maeser Fur Farms gives some interesting facts about a novel industry in the Hartland Herald in Albert Lea, Mn.

There was a book about fox farming by Sarah Crawford Isto, "The Fur Farms of Alaska" 1927-1935. Refers to Maeser's Alaska holdings at Tebenkof Bay.

Here are a list of the articles which refer to my grandfather's business. 1) Albert Lea Evening Tribune, Apr. 28, 1927, p. 12...2) ALET May 24, 1928, p.5...3) ALET Nov. 2, 1827, p. 6...4) ALET Oct. 28, 1927, p. 11...5) Brainerd Daily Dispatch, Dec. 16, 1926, p.1...6) BDD Dec. 30, 1927, p. 10...7) BDD Feb. 1, 1936, p. 3...8) BDD Jan. 3, 1928, p. 10...9) BDD Jan. 14, 1936, p. 3...10) BDD July 13, 1927, p. 3...11) BDD June 21, 1929, p. 10...12) BDD June 23, 1928, p. 3...13) BDD Nov. 13, 1929, p. 1...14) BDD Oct. 28, 1929, p. 7...

It was not an imaginary business! Although communists would make it out to be so. By demolishing the family and most of the buildings at the headquarters. The silver fox does nourish the imagination it must be said. It's difficult for this writer to grasp the magnitude of that business. By their destruction they sought to draw a psychological picture of a pentagram, a witch's curse. Which is connected to the revival of the mummies who await in their "palaces" the museums. A more disastrous fate cannot be plotted.

There could be missiles hidden in the forest at Mascot Resort. These could carry nuclear warheads. This should be investigated! I'm certain the idea is to surround the U.S. with Hackensack, Mn. occupation and Cuba which is still communist. The occupation of Mascot "A" Ranch is a curse! To ignore it is at our own risk....

Stalin's five-year plans had a clandestine message of missiles aimed at the U.S. There are five points to the pentagram. The pentagram is a symbol of wicca. Russians are witches and as such, cannot be trusted. Five year plans are the pentagram.

The name "Alaska" also implies the pentagram. It's a curse upon this country because we bought it from the Russians. They didn't need our money or cared about it. They wanted out subjugation. That's the meaning of the curse.

There's another curse that's bringing us down, as well. That's the Egyptian mummies in this country. There are over 300 in this country. What is America doing with them?! Egypt is our leader as long as we house their living dead pharaohs. They should be returned to Egypt IMMEDIATELY!

Russia is dominated by the Jews. They have made Vladimir Lenin into a mummy by removing his brain and displaying his "body" in Red Square. These mummies are maintaining the rule of Egypt.

Have you heard about the Brain Institute in Moscow? They study the brains of their deceased leaders and prominent scientists. Perhaps they even consume those brains. This is a ghoulish occult concept intended to paralyze everyone.

Egypt has created a psychological vacuum/hypnotic trance via Russia and their mummies. Karl Marx, founder of communism has the "ka" in his first name. If you recall, that was the word for the spirit of the mummies. His objective was to revive the mummies with his politics. Like any rabbi would strive to do.

I have more examples of the "ka" names. Boris Karloff was an actor in numerous occult movies. In at least two movies he starred as a revived mummy. In 1942 he was in the movie "The Mummy's Tomb". In this plot the mummy Kharis was resurrected (like Christ) to return the princess Ananka to Egypt from America. He was programmed to kill all those who had desecrated her tomb. He did not succeed in this. There were sequels to that movie. "The Mummy's Hand" 1940, "The Mummy's Ghost" 1944 and "The Mummy's Curse" 1944 were in a similar vein. The recurrent theme is murder for transplanting a mummy to the U.S. These movies paralleled WWII...

I do look at the media to find clues to political concepts. They often reflect the times they were in. Most artists required a patron usually the government to support them while they created. So the ideas in the books and theater incorporated the patron's ideas.

There are many examples of concepts that are hung over from earlier times today. For instance, what is the underlying motive for aborting children? The inspiration could be mummies. They are using these fetuses illegally for medical experiments. Could they also be using them to create human clones (also illegal) to provide human organs for transplants? Because you know the mummies had their organs and brains removed. Those who identify with the mummies will be desperate for living donors of these body parts. This is worse than Frankenstein!

In a world first, scientists say an 8cm (3in) worm has been found alive in the brain of an Australian woman.

The "string-like structure" was pulled from the patient's damaged frontal lobe during surgery in Canberra last year.

"It was definitely not what we were expecting. Everyone was shocked," said operating surgeon Dr Hari Priya Bandi.

The woman, 64, had for months suffered symptoms like stomach pain, a cough and night sweats, which evolved into forgetfulness and depression.

She was admitted to hospital in late January 2021, and a scan later revealed "an atypical lesion within the right frontal lobe of the brain".

But the cause of her condition was only revealed by Dr Bandi's knife during a biopsy in June 2022.

The red parasite could have been alive in her brain for up to two months, doctors said.

The woman, who lived near a lake area in south-eastern New South Wales state, is recovering well.

Her case is believed to be the first instance of a larvae invasion and development in the human brain, researchers said in the Emerging Infectious Diseases journal which reported the case.

'I pulled it out... and it was happily moving'

The neurosurgeon who found the worm said she had only begun to touch the brain part that had shown up strangely in the scans when she felt it.

"I thought, gosh, that feels funny, you couldn't see anything more abnormal," said Dr Bandi.

"And then I was able to really feel something, and I took my tweezers and I pulled it out and I thought, 'Gosh! What is that? It's moving!"

"Everyone was shocked. And the worm that we found was happily moving, quite vigorously, outside the brain," she said.

She then consulted her colleague Sanjaya Senanayake, an infectious diseases expert, on what they should do.

"Everyone [in] that operating theatre got the shock of their life when [the surgeon] took some forceps to pick up an abnormality and the abnormality turned out to be a wriggling, live 8cm light red worm," said Dr Senanayake.

"Even if you take away the yuck factor, this is a new infection never documented before in a human being."

Researchers warn the case highlights the increased danger of diseases and infections being passed from animals to people.

The Ophidascaris robertsi roundworm is common in carpet pythons - non-venomous snakes found across much of Australia.

Scientists say the woman most likely caught the roundworm after collecting a type of native grass, Warrigal greens, beside a lake near where she lived. The area is also inhabited by carpet pythons.

Writing in the journal, Australian parasitology expert Mehrab Hossain said she suspected the woman became an "accidental host" after using the foraged plants - contaminated by python faeces and parasite eggs - for cooking.

"The invasion of the brain by Ophidascaris larvae had not been reported previously," writes Dr Hossain.

"The growth of the third-stage larva in the human host is notable, given that previous experimental studies have not demonstrated larval development in domesticated animals, such as sheep, dogs, and cats."

Dr Senanayake - who is also an associate professor of medicine at the Australian National University (ANU) - told the BBC the case is a warning.

The ANU team reports that 30 new types of infections have appeared in the last 30 years. Three-quarters are zoonotic - infectious diseases that have jumped from animals to humans.

"It just shows as a human population burgeons, we move closer and encroach on animal habitats. This is an issue we see again and again, whether it's Nipah virus that's gone from wild bats to domestic pigs and then into people, whether it's a coronavirus like Sars or Mers that has jumped from bats into possibly a secondary animal and then into humans."

"Even though Covid is now slowly petering away, it is really important for epidemiologists… and governments to make sure they've got good infectious diseases surveillance around."

Wisconsin

Wisconsin is a state located in the Midwestern region of the United States, bordered by Michigan to the east, Minnesota to the west, Iowa to the southwest, and Illinois to the south. Known as the "Badger State," Wisconsin offers a wealth of history, geography, culture, and attractions that draw visitors from around the world. The state's history dates back to the indigenous peoples who have inhabited the area for thousands of years. In the 17th century, French explorers arrived in the region and established settlements, followed by British and American expansion in the 18th and 19th centuries. Wisconsin's rich history includes pivotal events such as the Black Hawk War and the Underground Railroad, both of which were instrumental in shaping social and political history in the state. Geographically, Wisconsin is unique in that it is home to both the Great Lakes and the Mississippi River, and is dotted with natural wonders like the Ice Age Trail and the Niagara Escarpment. The state is also home to a diverse array of flora and fauna, including the state's emblematic animal, the badger. Wisconsin is known for its environmental stewardship and its efforts to preserve its natural resources. Despite these efforts, however, the state is also grappling with environmental issues like pollution and habitat loss.

Etymology

The name "Wisconsin" has its origin in the Wisconsin River, which was named Meskonsing by the Native Americans. The name Meskonsing roughly translates to "red stone place" or "place of the hills." The French explorer Jean Nicolet is credited with being the first European to set foot in what is now Wisconsin in 1634, and he adopted the name Meskonsing for the region. Over time, the name evolved into its current form. Some sources suggest that it was shortened to Ouisconsin or Ouisconsin by French traders and explorers, and the spelling gradually changed to Wisconsin. Another theory is that the name Wisconsin comes from the Miami-Illinois word Ouisconsin, meaning "grassy place" or "gathering of the waters." This theory is supported by the fact that much of Wisconsin is covered by grasslands and wetlands, and the state is home to numerous lakes, rivers, and streams. Regardless of its origins, Wisconsin has a rich history and culture that are intertwined with the state's name. The name Wisconsin is now synonymous with cheese, dairy products, beer, and bratwurst, as well as breathtaking natural landscapes and friendly Midwestern hospitality.

History

Wisconsin's history dates back to before European contact, when Native American tribes including the Menominee, Ojibwe, and Ho-Chunk settled in the region. In the 1600s, French explorers and traders arrived in Wisconsin and established a fur trade network. The French made alliances with some Native American tribes, while others, including the Fox and the Potawatomi, resisted their presence. During the 1700s, the French, British, and Native Americans fought for control of Wisconsin, which was strategic for its access to the Great Lakes and the Mississippi River. In 1763, the British gained control of Wisconsin as part of the Treaty of Paris that ended the French and Indian War. The British established trading posts and forts, including Fort Mackinac and Fort Crawford. In the early 1800s, Wisconsin became part of the newly formed United States. The 1803 Louisiana Purchase and the subsequent Lewis and Clark Expedition opened up the western frontier, including Wisconsin. The federal government negotiated treaties with Native American tribes to acquire their land and allow for white settlement. During the War of 1812, Wisconsin was a battleground between the British and the Americans, with major battles taking place at Fort Mackinac, Fort Dearborn, and Prairie du Chien. After the war, Wisconsin became part of the Indiana Territory, then the Michigan Territory, and finally the Wisconsin Territory in 1836. Wisconsin became a state in 1848, becoming the 30th state in the Union. In the mid-1800s, Wisconsin was an important stop on the Underground Railroad, a network of safe houses and secret routes that helped slaves escape from the South to freedom in the North. During the Civil War, Wisconsin sent over 91,000 soldiers to fight, one of the highest percentages of any state. In the late 1800s and early 1900s, Wisconsin became known for its progressive politics and social reforms, including the first workers' compensation program and the first American kindergarten. Throughout the 20th century, Wisconsin continued to be a leader in manufacturing, agriculture, and tourism. The state was also home to important civil rights movements, including the fight for desegregation in Milwaukee schools and the 1960s open housing marches in Milwaukee.

In this section, we will explore some of the most significant historical events that have shaped Wisconsin's past and present. The Black Hawk War was a major conflict that took place in Wisconsin in 1832. The war was fought between the United States and a group of Native American tribes led by the warrior Black Hawk. The conflict was sparked by tensions over land rights and settler encroachment on Native American territories. The war lasted just a few months, but it left a lasting legacy in Wisconsin's history. The Underground Railroad was another pivotal event in Wisconsin's history. During the 19th century, Wisconsin became a key stop on the Underground Railroad, a network of secret routes and safe houses used to help slaves escape to freedom in the North. Many abolitionists and activists dedicated their lives to this cause, risking their own safety to help others. Today, Wisconsin is home to many historic sites and landmarks associated with the Underground Railroad. In addition to these events, Wisconsin has played a key role in many other historic moments. For example, during World War II, the state became an important center for war production, with many factories and industries ramping up production to support the war effort.

Biodiversity

Wisconsin is home to a great variety of plant and animal species, many of which are unique to the state. The state's geographic and ecological diversity has led to the development of a wide range of ecosystems, from wetlands to forests to prairies. The biodiversity of Wisconsin is of great value, both ecologically and economically. Wisconsin's Department of Natural Resources (DNR) is responsible for monitoring the state's natural resources and protecting endangered and threatened species. There are currently about 70 species of animals and plants that are listed as endangered, threatened, or special concern in Wisconsin. Endangered species in Wisconsin include the gray wolf, the piping plover, and the Kirtland's warbler. Threatened species in the state include the eastern massasauga rattlesnake and the Hine's emerald dragonfly. Some of the species of special concern in Wisconsin are the northern bog lemming, the long-eared owl, and the Blanding's turtle. Wisconsin's DNR works with other organizations to conserve and protect endangered and threatened species. The Wisconsin Endangered Species Program was established in 1972 and has since played a crucial role in protecting rare and threatened species. The program also aims to educate the public about the importance of biodiversity and the need to protect endangered and threatened species for future generations. Threats to Wisconsin's biodiversity come from various sources, including habitat loss, climate change, disease, and pollution. Invasive species are also a major threat to the state's native species. Invasive species such as the emerald ash borer, the sea lamprey, and the Japanese knotweed can cause significant damage to Wisconsin's ecosystems and pose a threat to native species. Efforts to protect Wisconsin's biodiversity include the restoration of degraded ecosystems, the use of conservation easements to protect habitat, and the creation of wildlife corridors to connect fragmented habitats. The state's Natural Heritage Inventory identifies areas of the state that are of high ecological value and need to be protected from development. Wisconsin's DNR also works with private landowners to encourage the protection and restoration of habitats on private lands. - the biodiversity of Wisconsin is a vital part of the state's natural heritage and contributes to the ecological and economic well-being of the state. Endangered and threatened species in Wisconsin need to be protected and conservation efforts need to be continued to prevent the loss of biodiversity in the state.

Climate

Wisconsin experiences a continental climate, which is characterized by warm summers and cold winters. The state lies in the Northern Hemisphere, so it also experiences seasonal changes, with distinct spring, summer, fall, and winter periods. Generally, the state has long, cold winters and short, warm summers. The climate in Wisconsin is influenced by both its location and geography. Wisconsin's proximity to the Great Lakes has a significant impact on its weather patterns. The warm, moist air over the lakes can lead to lake effect snow, causing localized heavy snowfall in areas near the lakes. In addition, the lakes moderate the temperature, keeping the areas surrounding them cooler in the summer and warmer in the winter. The western parts of Wisconsin are mountainous, which means they experience a slightly different climate than the rest of the state. There, the winters are colder and the summers are milder. The western region also experiences more snowfall than other parts of Wisconsin. Precipitation in Wisconsin is distributed evenly throughout the year, with an average annual precipitation of around 32 inches. However, droughts and heatwaves do occur occasionally.

Welcome to tarangire national park

One of Tanzania's best national parks, Tarangire is situated between the Great Rift Valley's lakes to the north and west and the masai steppe to the south and east. The 2600 square kilometer park is home to a wide range of wildlife species and offers fantastic lodging options for those taking a Tanzania safari tour.

One of the national parks in the northern Tanzania circuit is Tarangire National Park, which is located in Tanzania. This location, which is only a short drive from Arusha, is also close to other places to see wildlife, such Lake Manyara National Park. The national park's name, Tarangire, derives from the Tarangire river, which runs through it. The river serves as a key supply of water for several wildlife species, especially during the dry season.

ATTRACTIONS IN TARANGIRE NATIONAL PARK

One aspect of the Tarangire environment is the remote Silale Swamp. The swamp functions like a giant sponge during the green season, absorbing up water that is then gradually released during the dry season. Huge herbivore herds that are in quest of water overrun the park, bringing lions, leopards, and wild dogs with them. These wetlands are home to elephants, African wild dogs, cape buffaloes, and siale-swamp lions. Some of the bird species that can be seen in this region include the Donaldson-nightjar and Smith's Vulturine Guinea fowl.

The giant baobab tree

Another notable element in Tarangire National Park is the baobab tree, also referred to as the "Tree of Life." Over time, the baobab has changed to fit its environment. It is a succulent, which means that during the rainy season, water is collected and stored in its enormous trunk. This allows it to produce fruit that is rich in nutrients during the dry season, when everything else is dry and barren. It earned the moniker "The Tree of Life" as a result.

It has a "gigantic" trunk with a 300-liter water capacity. They can live up to 600 years, which is a long lifespan. This tree's edible seeds are an important source of food for many different species. Elephants, on the other hand, use the bark of these trees to sharpen their enormous tusks. According to tradition, these trees could easily migrate throughout the African continent, but because God was displeased with their aimless movement, he decided to place them upside-down in order to stop them from migrating again.

Birding in Tarangire

During your visit to Tarangire national park, take pleasure in viewing a wide variety of stunning and rare bird species. The marshes of Tarangire are home to roughly 550 diverse bird species. For bird lovers who can lose themselves for hours on end in their hobby, Tarangire is a well-known safari destination. Some of the bird species that can be seen while on a safari in Tarangire, Tanzania, include crested francolins, hoopoes, yellow-necked spurfow, hornbills, guinea fowl, steppe eagles, brown parrots, the enormous lappet-faced vulture, white-bellied go away birds, bateleur eagles, mouse birds, Kori bustards, yellow

The Wildlife Migration in Tarangire

One of northern Tanzania's most migratory parks, Tarangire is home to a large number of seasonal animals. Tarangire is located close to the southeast corner of Manyara National Park, around 120 kilometers from Arusha. One of northern Tanzania's most migratory parks, Tarangire is home to a large number of seasonal animals. Tarangire is located close to the southeast corner of Manyara National Park, around 120 kilometers from Arusha.

Only a few water sources exist in the Tarangire Region during the dry season, which lasts from June to October. The waters of the Tarangire River draw unfathomably large herds of diverse species into the park. Although less well-known than the annual Wildebeest Movement in the Serengeti, this major animal migration brings in large numbers of elephants, hartebeests, wildebeests, gazelles, and zebras as well as predators like lions and leopards. Since the scant and arid vegetation makes for superb animal viewing, including this park in your northern Tanzania safari.

Tanzania’s elephant population

The greatest population of elephants in Tarangire National Park, which is thought to be the highest in Tanzania, is one of the key draws that has contributed to the park's international fame. You'll come across large elephant herds of up to 300 elephants digging the dry riverbed of the Tarangire River in search of underground streams of water to quench their thirst as the dry season, which lasts from June to October, develops and the terrain becomes increasingly drier. However, because there are so many elephants living here, it is still possible to witness these land giants even during the rainy season. The entrance of the rains, on the other hand, gives lots of pastures and water, causing the animals to scatter across the park.

Poacher’s Hide

Tarangire Hill. The Poacher's Hide is a well-known old baobab tree that was once used as a hideout by poachers. It has a modestly concealed entrance and an inside chamber. One of Tarangire National Park's oldest trees, the Poacher's Hide baobab has a diameter of about 10 meters and is considered to be older than 300 years.

Lemiyon Triangle

Visiting this sight is another another must-do when on a safari in Tanzania's Tarangire National Park. Lemiyon is home to vast red-billed quelea flocks and huge baobab trees. This pristine area is tucked away in the far northern region of the park, forming a triangle zone. The most impressive type of vegetation in this area are the giant baobab trees that tower alongside the road with their enormous silver trunks and countless gnarled branches. Even people who are not bird watchers will be astonished by the sheer number of these powerful aerial carnivores in Lemiyon.

Tarangire River

The Tarangire River is a key component of Tarangire National Park. It provides water for the ecosystem of the park and is a great area to watch wildlife because animals congregate there to drink water, especially during the dry season.

The Tarangire River is a haven for many animals, including a sizable population of elephants, who come to the river banks to drink water and cool down from the sweltering sun during Tanzania's wildlife viewing safaris in Tarangire National Park. Elephants have been observed digging in the sand close to the Tarangire River in an effort to access underlying water. Among the animals that can be seen along the Tarangire River's banks are leopards, lions, wildebeests, zebras, buffaloes, and gazelles.

Matete Woodlands

Matete offers fantastic leopard viewing as well as a chance to see the rare oryx antelope. The area gets its name from the tall elephant grass and thorny reeds that line the western bank of the river. Matete is the greatest site in the park to see leopards on a regular basis. These elusive cats are frequently spotted amid the branches of the acacia tortilla trees.

Kitibong Hill

observe cape buffaloes charging through the region's acacia plains while cape buffaloes throw their massive bossed horns. Tarangire National Park is home to these animals.

National Park will get the chance to see and interact with these sights in the park's natural setting. For a really unforgettable Tanzanian safari experience, select Focus East Africa Tours to take you on a safari to Tarangire National Park.

WELCOME TO SERENGETI NATIONAL PARK TANZANIA

Unmatched for its natural beauty and scientific importance, Serengeti National Park/Serengeti Park/Serengeti Park Tanzania is without a doubt the most well-known animal sanctuary in the world. In all of Africa, it contains the highest concentration of plains game.

One of Tanzania's national parks that attracts tourists to the greater North is the Serengeti National Park, which is located in the country's Northern region. Ngorongoro Crater, Lake Manyara National Park, Tarangire National Park, and broader Serengeti National Park make up the northern tourist corridor. The Maasai word Siringet, which meaning an open, boundless plain, inspired the names of Serengeti National Park, Serengeti Tanzania National Park, and Serengeti Park Tanzania. The larger Serengeti ecosystem is created by the park's proximity to Ngorongoro in the south and Maasai Mara in the north.

Before the local populations were relocated to various portions of the Ngorongoro, Lake Manyara, and Karatu districts, the four northern parks combined to form Tanzania's Serengeti National Park. Without visiting the Serengeti, a safari in Tanzania is not complete and you won't get the full Tanzanian experience. In addition to being known for the annual wildebeest migration, the Serengeti national park is home to a diverse range of animals and plants that together make up the Serengeti ecosystem.

Welcome to Ngorongoro Crater Tanzania

Ngorongoro Crater. It features the magnificent Ngorongoro Crater, the biggest crater in the world, and was established in 1959 as a diverse land use region where wildlife coexists with semi-nomadic Maasai pastoralists who practice traditional cattle grazing.
