How you're Weakening your planets & birth chart unknowingly Part 1

Our Rishi Munis were so knowledgeable that they even told humans what time is good for what. What'll happen in the specific time and exactly how.

Eg: The guy will walk over the banana peel in 2 minutes his hand will go over and his legs will go twisted 😭 like a pretzel 🥨

Our Birth chart have different houses representing different parts of our life, body, and more.

1st house of your Birth Chart

By not caring for the body you're weakening your 1st house which simply means everyone should hit gym and make body as it's going to strengthen your first house and Mars in your Birth Chart. It's easier said than done 👍

Our Body is a temple it's the only way to reach God it takes billions of years to become a human but Kaliyug is all about wasting the human body cuz people love being a pig, bat, horse, etc. In Sanatana Dharma we learn that you become what you eat. So what're you putting in your body is what you become. And many people are becoming Chicken cuz they love chicken leg, and other parts.

You think god love it when he made everything thinking these are all my children and now my brain children ( with ample of knowledge) are eating my children ( innocent can't speak human eat grass ) and the cycle is going on.

So think before you eat is what this 1st house and 2nd house is. You want to keep it as a Temple or Graveyard is your choice again even God can't do anything in this freewill you'll just become the next food on table in other life cuz the soul is immortal and they won't give you a premium pass to brahma loka 😬

2nd house of your birth chart

By using abusing language as simple as b*itch is going to weaken your 2nd house of your birth chart.

Jupiter is also called as Guru or Teacher if placed in 2nd house one should not use abusive language.

Watching P*rn and other things like these also weakens your Jupiter no matter where it's sitting.

Be it h*rem for anime,etc.

3rd house of your birth chart

By writing abusive language on your post, headlines, etc. you're weakening your 3rd house in your birth chart.

If you feel proud saying and writing abusive language to people or anyone then it's a sign that your birth chart is getting weaker.

Cuz at the end of the day you're not abusing anyone else but yourself why? Cuz Soul is part of God you yourselves are a part of God and you're abusing God itself.

In Shreemad Bhagwat Mahapuran God says that person who hates the other person means they're hating the God. They're hating themselves. The Soul which is a one ten-thousandth part of the tip of a hair is God themselves and resides in all even the corona virus had a soul that's why it lived.

castle of... quarantine — senku i.

brief summary: castle of sand!reader and senku during quarentine (if petrification never happened)

what to expect: covid lmao, spoilers for castle of sand up to chapter like 12, references to suicide attempt

your sword's note: this came to mind when i heard the tokyo (nya ichi ni san nya arigato) song (i miss quarentine so much), plus i am sick rn, more on my mistresslist

This never even happened, fiction within fiction am I right? What I am seeing through my crystal ball is this though: after very obviously surviving the attempt, you fixed your living situation, NOT coming back to live with your mom, so you were living now on your own, which was okay.

Better believe Senku found out about what happened, that broke him, he started acting strange. You knew he knew, he knew you knew he knew. He kept trying to approach the situation and you would dodge it all the time, but eventually he had to be direct and that was a whole crying session. He became more tender with you.

You spent new years with Senku and Byakuya, once he came back from space. Byakuya started dating Lillian, I will avoid making accommodations for that complicated situation since she is a whole star and they live in completely different countries and what not, but she was there too.

The new year started alright! You were getting used to your new house, since it was close to the school it was also close to Senku's apartment, so he would be there all the time.

Then, people started getting sick. You also better believe that Senku went out to hunt corona-virus 19 to analyze it. He got sick before quarantine even went global 💀. Nonetheless he kept it around —in a Petri dish or something, I do not know about how these things work—, and would spend all his time analyzing it. (This comes from him going to Africa to study ebola💀, he can only be so lucky to not get fucking ebola so he got covid, I say that is a gift from god).

Classes became virtual, and the world shut off. Still, as a pretend adult, you had to go out at times to get groceries and a pile of toilet paper like everyone else, and during those times he would see you. "You should come over, I will show you how the virus looks under the microscope." He would walk around you in the supermarket trying to convince you to see his damn covid. That was a no. So instead he went to your house, under the excuse that he would help you with the groceries (he carried the milk, you carried the rest). Sometimes it would get late and he would stay over, he had to call his dad to make sure he would keep an eye on his covid so it would stay alive.

You started making videos, wether it was on YouTube or TikTok or whatever platform, about philosophy, and got a decent number of followers, something like 5k, and one day you lost a bet to Senku and he made you wear cat ears and dance, congratulations you went viral! Yoohoo. Downside is that people would look at your philosophy videos and instead request more dancing, but it balanced out quickly.

At some point, his covid decided it wanted to take a journey to the outside world, and mysteriously you got sick.

"Your temperature is ten billion degrees. You probably got it." Senku shook his head looking at the thermometer. It was something rare to hear you curse, but you cursed at him right there and then. He resolved that he would stay with you and take care of you since it was his fault you got sick (Facade for treating you like his first patient). He would cook for you and spoon-feed you, give you medicine, put cold compresses on your forehead when you got fever. At the middle of the night he got an insane idea, so he rushed home after checking you were not going to start hallucinating Aristotle speaking to you, and went home for his covid pet, then, he started working on a vaccine.

"If you let me try vaccine number one on you, I will grant you one wish." Senku almost begged but it was a hard no. He ended up sending it to some real medical corporation and they actually used that for the real vaccine.

People would do crazy things during covid, personally I would always see people getting buzzcuts... yes this is going there. After seeing so many videos of people deciding to go bald, you took some scissors laying around and cut your hair until it was a mess, and then passed the electric razor. "Senku come over right now, I have what could be the best surprise I can give you in life." At your call he ran, he was imagining anything but that, when he rang the bell and you opened the door, bald as hell, he almost cried. You were shocked at his clearly in pain expression. But well you were now bald. As expected, it was not about the hair and more about the friends we made on the way (He still found you attractive like that).

His vaccines were actually working, first amongst his many science feats.

H5N1: What to know before fear spreads

What is H5N1?

H5N1 is a 1996 strain of the Spanish or Avian Flu first detected in Chinese birds before spreading globally across various avian species. H5N1 is similar to H1N1, but spreads slower and has a much higher mortality rate.

H5N1 may also be referred to as Influenza A. The American Association of Bovine Practitioners has seen fit to rename H5N1 to Bovine Influenza A Virus, or BIAV, and are encouraging others to use the same terminology.

I would not be surprised if the colloquial name among the public becomes Bovine Flu or American Flu in the coming months, and may be referred to as the Chinese Flu by the same folks who took the spark of the SARS-CoV-2 (COVID-19) pandemic as an excuse to be publicly racist to East Asian people without social repercussions.

BIAV is a virus, meaning that it is a (probably) non-living packet of self-replicating infectious material with a high rate of mutation. BIAV is structured similarly to SARS-CoV-2, having a packet of infectious material encased in a spherical shell with a corona, or crown, of proteins that can latch to living cells to inject RNA.

Image source with interactive model: ViralZone - H5N1 subtype

What is the history of BIAV?

In 1996 and 1997, an outbreak of BIAV occurred among poultry and infected 18 people in Hong Kong, 6 of which died. This seemingly isolated incident then infected ~860 people with a >50% death rate.

At the time, BIAV was known as Highly Pathogenic Avian Influenza, or HPAI, and killed nearly 100% of chickens within a 48 hour period.

From 2003 to 2005, continual outbreaks occurred in China and other East Asian countries, before spreading to Cambodia, the Netherlands, Thailand, and Vietnam.

From 2014 to 2016, it began being detected in American fowl, as well as mutating the H5N6 (lethal in birds, no human to human transmission) and H5N8 (largely spread through turkeys, ducks had immunity) viruses.

BIAV has since evolved into a clade known as 2.3.4.4b, and was first detected in 2021 in wild American birds. This then caused outbreaks in 2022 among wild and domesticated birds (such as chickens) alike, but was largely being overshadowed by the pressing SARS-CoV-2 pandemic at the time.

From 2022 to 2023, it was observed to be spreading among various mammals, including humans. Now, in 2024, we're having the most concerning rapid outbreak of BIAV since 2003.

BIAV is known to spread from mammal to mammal, particularly between cows and humans. BIAV may also be spread from cow to cow (highly likely, but not confirmed - this is likely the reason the virus has spread to Idaho from Texan cattle), and is known to be lethal to domestic cats and birds within 48 hours.

How does BIAV spread?

BIAV spreads through fomites - direct contact with infected animals or infected surfaces and then touching parts of your face or other orifices - as well as through airborne particulates, which may be inhaled and enter the sinuses and lungs.

BIAV is known to spread through:

Asymptomatic Ducks, geese, swans, various shorebirds

Symptomatic, may be lethal Foxes, bears, seals, sea lions, polar bears, domestic cats, dogs, minks, goats, cows, (potentially human to human, but unconfirmed - there have only been 8 potential human to human cases in 2024).

How can I protect against BIAV?

As BIAV is a type of Influenza A, existing protocols should do fine.

Current recommendations are to wash your hands vigorously after interacting with birds (I would also recommend doing this with mammals), avoid touching your face or other open orifices, and wear N95 masks.

Avoid sick or dead animals entirely - I would also recommend reporting them to your local Animal Control or veterinary centre and warning them about the infection risk. People who work with animals are recommended to also wear full PPE such as N95 masks, eye protection, gloves, and partake in vigorous hand washing.

If you suspect you've caught BIAV, seek medical attention immediately. Existing medications such as oseltamivir phosphate, zanamivir, peramivir, and baloxavir marboxil can reduce BIAV's ability to replicate.

Standard flu shots will not protect against BIAV. Remember - symptoms of BIAV may not manifest for between 2 to 8 days, and potentially infected people should be monitored for at least 10 days.

How far has BIAV spread?

BIAV is currently a global virus, though the current infection location of note is the United States.

Image Key: Dark red - Countries with humans, poultry and wild birds killed by H5N1 Deep red - Countries with poultry or wild birds killed by H5N1 and has reported human cases of H5N1 Light red - Countries with poultry or wild birds killed by H5N1

Image source: Metro.co.uk - Map shows where bird flu is spreading in US amid new warning - File: The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention’s H5N1 bird flu detections map across the United States

Should I be afraid?

You needn't be afraid, just prepared. BIAV has a concerningly high lethality, but this ironically culls its spread somewhat.

In the event human to human transmission of BIAV is confirmed, this will likely mainly affect marginalized communities, poor people, and homeless people, who are likely to have less access to medical care, and a higher likelihood of working in jobs that require frequent close human contact, such as fast food or retail jobs.

Given the response to SARS-CoV-2, corporations - and probably the government - may shove a proper response under the rug and refuse to participate in a full quarantine, which may leave people forced to go to work in dangerous conditions.

If this does spread into an epidemic or pandemic, given our extensive knowledge about Influenza, and the US having a backup vaccine for a prior strain of H5N1, a vaccine should be able to be developed relatively quickly and would hopefully be deployed freely without charge - we won't have to worry about a situation like The Stand.

Wash your hands, keep clean, avoid large social gatherings where possible, wear an N95 mask if you can afford them (Remember: Cloth masks are the least protective, but are better than nothing. If you can't afford N95 masks, I recommend wearing a well-fitted cloth mask with a disposable face mask over it to prevent pneumonia from moisture buildup in the disposable mask), support the disabled, poor, and homeless, and stay educated.

We can do better this time.

GtN Allusions: Page 8

Cavalier Absolutely should have done cavalier on page 7, but just didn't think of it. Middle French for horseman or knight, from the Latin for horse. Also means not caring enough about something important, like burning alive for ten thousand years.

Centurions Ancient roman infantry commander of units consisting of 100 (duh) or 80 (times is hard) legionaries. The centurion was responsible for disciplining other soldiers and also civilians, which I think Judith and Marta were clearly All About. Centurions carried a sword at their left side and a dagger at the right side. Centurions sometimes became lictors (which we'll get back to). Roman centurions had to be at least 30, literate, and experienced, and were expected to be strong, dexterous, skilled, and lorge.

There is a biblical story in the gospels of Matthew and Luke about a centurion who asks Jesus to heal his sick boyfriend-slave. It is usually not translated as boyfriend or slave but I've heard pretty compelling tell that the original very clearly refers to a slave that is also boyfriend. Jesus heals the boyfriend, and later the centurion is present at the crucifixion and attests to Jesus's divinity and/or innocence. This is painful for Corona reasons and also Teacher reasons, imo.

There is also a centurion called Julius who helps Paul go to Rome in the book of Acts.

Judith Deuteros Judith means "praised" and/or "Jewish woman." Judith was a brave and beautiful woman who was pissed at people for not trusting G-d enough. She, trusting G-d a frankly legendary amount, prays a lot and then goes into the enemy camp with her maid and casually beheads the Assyrian leader Holofernes. She takes the head back to her people and the Assyrians are like WOW I'm gonna go, so she's saved the day.

There are many excellent paintings of Judith slaying Holofernes but I am partial to this one by Artemisia Gentileschi because these women are gonna do what needs to be done.

An English play about this by Howard Barker has a scene called "The Unforeseen Consequences of a Patriotic Act" and if that isn't putting it mildly.

Deuteros is greek for the second or the other of two. This is a really interesting name to give the heir of the second rather than the cavalier, who should be the second of two. I think this could speak to Judith's inappropriate feelings for Marta, or of her devotion to Jod.

Marta Dyas Marta is a name derived from Aramaic, meaning "lady." There was also a 547 AD Battle of Marta in Tunisia involving a guy called John but it's a stretch. I feel strongly that I'm missing something here.

Dyas has so many interesting false positives that cannot possibly be related and I'm going to share some of them for fun. Dyas is an oil and gas company. Dyas was an 11th century Indian King. Dyas is a surname used in England and Ireland (there have been a couple athletes with this name). Dyas is also just related to the Greek for two of the same, a pair.

The Procession A procession is when a bunch of people walk together in a ceremonial or formal way and what a weird nickname for your house.

Processions were part of major religious festivals in classical Greece and Rome, especially in the cult of Dionysus and in the ritual of Triumph. This got adopted into early Christian practice and processions became associated with ritual performances of the crucifixion and resurrection and with everyday mass and things like weddings and funerals. I mean frankly what doesn't have a procession these days!! Processions were part of what Luther was mad about, and Luther would probably hate the Third so that's valid.

Coronabeth Tridentarius Corona means crown or garland, from Latin. It can refer to the sun's outer atmosphere, the part that's brilliant and shiny. COVID is called a coronavirus because its spike proteins form a corona or halo around the body of the virus, resembling the sun.

Beth is a Kiss song from 1976 from the album Destroyer. Oh Beth, what can I do? It's also a common shortform of Elizabeth, famously the name of two English queens who did some pretty memorable queening. Beth El is a Hebrew phrase meaning "house of G-d" in which beth is a transformation of beit, home.

Tridents are three-pronged fishing spears; the name comes from latin "three teeth." They are associated with Poseidon/Neptune in classical mythology. Poseidon was associated with the sea, storms, springs (water), earthquakes, and horses; Neptune was also associated with heaven.

-ari is a Latin suffix that makes nouns into names.

-ius is a Latin suffix that makes something an adjective indicating that the thing being described is "made of" or "belongs to" the noun.

Together tridentarius seems to be a construction that does The Trident People Name. Which basically does what it says on the tin.

Ianthe Tridentarius Ianthe means "purple flower" in Greek.

Once upon a time in Greek and Roman mythology there was a boy named Iphis who was secretly assigned female at birth but raised as a boy. When Iphis his dad arranges a marriage between Iphis (who he doesn't know is secretly, classically trans) and a girl named Ianthe. Iphis is SO in love with Ianthe. Iphis's mom tries to delay the wedding, but eventually the wedding was going to happen, so Iphis and the mom go to a temple to Isis to pray for help. Iphis is miraculously transformed and marries Ianthe and they live happily ever after.

Tridentarius is still The Trident People Name.

Naberius Tern Naberius is a demon. He is a Marquess of Hell, commanding many legions of demons. Naberius has the body of a three-headed dog or bird. He's a bit of a fop and is super talented at rhetoric and the arts and sciences. He speaks quietly. This is my favorite picture of him.

Stuff I found about Naberius the demon said he's the same as Cerberus the three-headed hell dog but I don't think this association goes both ways.

I was real confused at first about how tern functions as a house name for Babs. A tern is a sea bird. There's a lot of them. But the name doesn't mean three. Here's a black tern. I think it's pretty.

Etymonline says the name of a tern comes from Old Norse for "maid-servant" but etymonline also saved me, because the entry for ternary (threefold) mentions that a tern or terne is a dice throw with three dice or a prize in a lottery with three winning numbers. Why isn't this in the entry for tern!? Babs as the prize seems to be happening for a lot of GtN, and Babs as a throw of three dice works for me on a poetic level. I'm into this.

Isaac Tettares Isaac is the biblical son of Abraham and Sarah. Abraham was supposed to be the father of a great nation, but his wife Sarah was infertile for many years. When Abraham is A HUNDRED YEARS OLD, after decades of not being able to have a child together, Sarah has Isaac. He is personally promised to them by G-d. I absolutely cannot overstate how wanted and loved this child was. Then G-d instructs Abraham to sacrifice Isaac in place of a lamb, as a test of faith. Abraham takes Isaac up to the place where the sacrifice is to take place. He puts his son on the alter, trussed up like a sacrificial lamb. He raises a knife over his head. And G-d is like wow. WOW. Do not. Can you imagine. Good job, absolutely but wow do not, yikes. Thank you <3 and then they just go on with the rest of their lives as father and son?? But Sarah immediately dies. Sometimes it's said that someone told her what happened carelessly and she was scared to death. If you would like to listen to a short and heart-wrenching song about the binding of Isaac and its emotional aftermath, I recommend this one.

Tettares is an Anglicization of the Attic Greek word for four.

Jeannemary Chatur A Google search for "Jeannemary" returns exclusively TLT related results and I think TM may have made this name herself.

Jeanne is a French given name equivalent to Joan/Jane/Jean in English, and rooted in the Hebrew name Yochanan (also the source of John!) meaning "G-d is Gracious." I suspect that the reference here is to Jeanne d'Arc, who believed in G-d the absolute most.

Mary refers to roughly 1/5 of women in the bible and half of all queens.

Chatur is a name derived from Sanskrit. I wasn't able to find reliable information on its etymology.

Abigail Pent Abigail is a Hebrew name referring to a father's joy. The biblical Abigail was a prophetess and the wife of King David. She was wise and is described as one of the most beautiful women ever (Isaac's mother Sarah is one of the others).

Pent is a prefix referring to the Greek for five.

Magnus Quinn Magnus is "great" in Latin. A bunch of kings of Norway and Sweden have been called Magnus. There are also SEVEN saints called Magnus. The Magnus effect in physics describes lift that affects a spinning object moving through fluid. I don't know which if any of these is a reference.

Quinn gives me a liiiiittle trouble as a house name. Quinn is an Irish surname that's usually Catholic with two Ns and Protestant if only one N. Quint refers to a fifth, and quin refers to quintuplets. I find Quinn a stretch.

“What is the sound of one hand clapping?” “If a tree falls in the forest and no one is around to hear it, does it make a sound?” College students around the world have pondered these questions for generations. These fun intellectual exercises help challenge our assumptions and force us to examine ideas we often take for granted.

They’re also the kind of thing people roll their eyes at—fun, sure, but hardly serious. Koans like these are often treated as philosophical party tricks, not pressing matters.

Take a step up in complexity, and you get questions like, “Does free will exist?” Every philosophy major—including me, back in the day—has burned midnight oil debating this one. Today, a number of influential scientists, including neuroscientists Robert Sapolsky and Sam Harris, argue free will is an illusion.

Great. I love science. I love opinions. I value academia. Ideas are a blast. But is the question of free will just a souped-up koan—an abstract puzzle to noodle over—or a question with teeth, one with real-world implications?

This isn’t just navel-gazing about navel-gazing. When we lump every intellectual pursuit together—treating a dorm-room debate about free will with the same gravity as, say, identifying a bird flu strain capable of human-to-human transmission—we risk diluting the value of countless lab researchers working hard to identify future risks to real people’s lives. This is hard science—the same science that probed corona viruses in a lab in Wuhan China and puzzled over retroviruses in the 1980s. These kinds of intellectual pursuits are very valuable. Back then, retrovirus research felt like a niche academic sideline—until it cracked open the HIV crisis and gave us tools to fight it. From microwaves to MRI machines to once-unthinkable treatments, science routinely delivers.

Here’s the catch: all intellectual pursuits, abstract or concrete, carry potential—and peril. A koan may be nothing more than a mental exercise, but what about free will? If Sapolsky and Harris are right, its implications could upend law, morality, even our very sense of self. And then there’s the lab work. Was COVID-19 the result of a viral contagion study that slipped its leash? Maybe. What’s undeniable is that—from the CDC’s test tubes to philosophy’s thought experiments—the stakes are real. A virus can escape containment and kill millions. An idea can break free from the ivory tower and remake—or break—society. In both cases, the fallout can be devastating.

Consider the simple question: What is the distinction between biological sex and gender? It’s a fun, thought-provoking query that has enlightened generations of aspiring intellectuals. Exploring the interplay of biology, familial upbringing, and cultural influences on self-expression is valuable. Feminists have long championed the idea that biology is not destiny, freeing women to succeed in roles traditionally reserved for men and creating space for men to pursue careers as teachers, nurses, and stay-at-home parents. Decades of activism by lesbian, gay, and bisexual individuals reshaped cultural attitudes toward sexual orientation. When the Supreme Court ruled in Obergefell v. Hodges to recognize same-sex marriage, it didn’t fundamentally change ideas about marriage, it merely reflected a hard-fought cultural shift about sexual orientation and civil rights that had already taken place.

Yet, until very recently, no one questioned the reality of biological sex itself as a defining aspect of the human experience. Biological sex is not a product of culture—it is a product of biology.

The nature-versus-nurture debate has fascinated philosophers for ages. Are humans a “blank slate” shaped entirely by culture? Or do innate traits, rooted in our genetic history, define us? In the 1960s, John Money of Johns Hopkins University mutated this perennial question into something new. For the first time, the concepts of what we are and who we are became fully disentangled. He argued that sex and gender were wholly separate, pioneering the idea of “gender identity” as distinct from biological sex.

Three decades later, Judith Butler of UC Berkeley pushed this concept to its extreme. In Gender Trouble: Feminism and the Subversion of Identity, a dense, jargon-laden academic treatise, she suggested that biological sex itself is a social construct. The book was not written for the general public—let alone as a guide to living a fulfilling life.

But what happens when this once-obscure academic idea—that sex and gender are entirely separate—escapes the confines of academia and takes root in an image-obsessed, polarized, and social media-driven world?

Consider what might unfold if a group of influential academics persuaded major institutions and much of the public that “free will” does not exist. (After all, many already believe this and claim to have data supporting their position.) Imagine the upheaval in the court system, schools, and every other institution if people began to assert, “I had no choice—there is no free will.”

These benign intellectual exercises can be valuable—as intellectual exercises. But virulent pathogens are not the only dangerous thing that can leak from the halls of academic exploration. The concept of a “gender identity” as wholly separate from biological sex has, in a remarkably short time, infected much of the Western world.

“Gender identity” is an academic “lab leak.” It was never meant to take hold in the general public. It was a theoretical playground where scholars competed to outdo one another in journals few people read. But this useful “thought experiment” escaped its rightful domain and contaminated our schools, government institutions, and mainstream culture. Sex and gender are no longer considered synonyms; in fact, gender has supplanted sex as the primary marker. The now-ubiquitous phrase “Sex Assigned at Birth” on medical intake forms indicates how deeply this transformation and infiltrated our everyday life. The slogan "Trans women are women" is another example of this ideological capture.

Throughout history, males and females have chosen to present as the opposite sex. That is not new. What is new is the claim that an internal sense of gender overrides biological sex—an assertion that who we believe we are determines what we are. These postmodern ideas might remain harmless word games if they were not taken seriously. But treating subjective identity as more real than objective biology has serious consequences.

We now see males in female prisons, locker rooms, and sports. The medicalization of sex-nonconforming children is promoted as common sense among the intelligentsia. And those who reject these esoteric ideas—concepts as abstract as the sound of one hand clapping—are dismissed as uneducated, unenlightened, or bigoted.

It was fun exploring abstract ideas as a 20-something college student. But how do these intellectual exercises play out in the real world? How would our social order and institutions function if everyone accepted Robert Sapolsky’s contention that free will does not exist?

Well, here we are. Biological sex does exist. Denying that truth fosters chaos and confusion, particularly among adolescents. I remain ambivalent about whether “gender identity” is real—some people seem to have a strong sense of it, while others do not. And surely there is a minuscule population of adults whose subjective sense of self and objective biology are so incongruent that seeking medical interventions may alleviate some distress. But biological sex is an objective fact, one that cannot be erased by progressive ideology or the mere existence of a rare mental condition. Gender, as a concept, is best confined to the halls of academia—much like the study of coronaviruses would have been best contained within the labs of Wuhan.

For now, we must wade through a sea of distracted children waving one hand in the air listening for a sound or asking, “Am I really a girl?”

I've said before that I dislike "philosophy for the sake of philosophy." And "gender identity," like a human soul, is nothing but a thought experiment until anyone bothers to actually prove it exists.

And like a human soul, it has not been. Anytime someone tries to, it becomes clear that gender is clothes and hair.

Today im coming to you with a Kisuke Urahara theory!!

He is the mastemind behind everything and i mean EVERYTHING!!

Let me explain..

One of the things i noticed is how after the soul society ark and Aizen's betrayel,nobody asks Urahara about the Hogyoku!! (Maybe they did correct me if im wrong)

Hogyoku feels like something very important and DANGEROUS,so naturally i expected the captains and their squads to form some kind of plans of either invasion or steal the artifact before it can be used or activated!!

Or i dont know ASK THE CREATOR HOW IT WORKS AND HOW TO DESTROY IT!!

Isnt strange how Yamamoto only told Ichigo to stay put and the rest are just gonna prepare for war,like there is nothing else they can do?

Like imagine back in the 40s Oppenheimer just created the atomic bomb,somehow the Japanese found out and stole it and the Americans instead of going nuts,they are like "ok i guess we are going to wait until fall so we can attack"

It makes no sense!!

Now you might say that even Urahara didnt know what the orb could do ,so he wouldnt be helpfull at that time.

But what about the time AFTER Aizen's defeat?

You're telling me Urahara Kisuke couldn t find a way to take the Hogyoku back and destroy it??

Again you might say that it was established that the orb is now fused with Aizen and cant be seperated,when Gin tried to take it but also remember when Ichigo said Hogyoku has rejected him and he is no longer its master!!

And there is also a KIDO SPELL THAT AIZEN USED AND WHEN HE TOOK IT FROM RUKIA?

Did they all forget?

So WHY THE URAHARA KISUKE GENIOUS EXTRORDINAIRE DIDNT DO SOMETHING!!

I'll tell you why ,because all of this was a big diversion from the real goal

ICHIGO UNLOCKING HIS TRUE POTENTIAL!!

And here comes crazy theory territory,lets go

At some point in the past somehow,someone something informed Urahara about the events that would lead to the destruction of the whole universe!!

Once the gates of hell are open and the beasts from hell escape is pretty much the apocalypse!!

So the entity(which in my headcanon is Fate personafied) goes to him and tells him "Listen the wold will end if we dont find the perfect replacement for the Soul King and you are the only one that can help"

Again imagine that the saviour can only succeed if we allow the World war 1,World war 2 and the Corona virus to happen,we dont know how many people will die but in the end the rest will be saved by the freaking Armagedon!!

It is the same with Bleach,Aizen rebelion had to happen,the Quincy invasion,Ichigo unlocking his true zanpakuto and Quincy powers,so when hell ark happens there is a winning chance!!

Also i find it quite curious how Ichigo is the only being that can kill the Soul King as Jhwach mentioned ( you need someone who is Human,Quincy,Hollow and Shinigami) and didnt get any powers from the King?

But Jhwah somehow got the Almighty?

Yeah ok thats not suspicious at all!

What im trying to say is that Urahara put all his effort and focus on making Ichigo the perfect vessel for the Soul King's powers and allow Aizen to go after the Hogyoku,so Aizen wouldnt notice!!

I mean how do you distarct a person like Aizen!

Simply,by giving EXACTLY what they want,the very thing they obsessed about for centuries.

Combing that with Aizen' s arrogance and supperiority,god complex,he never cared about anything else and why would Aizen care? Everything was part of his plan right?

WRONG it was just a part of Urahara's plan!!!

I just cant stop thinking about the moment Aizen figures this out,his mind is going to explode!!!

In the end everything from the moment of Ichigo's conception,which Urahara helped by saving Masaki thus creating the perfect conditions for a multi-dimmensional bei ng to be born,too Ichigo's true powers was all part of a bigger plan to save the universe!!!

Soooo...I talked about a transmigration AU in this post. It's been a while, so I'm just going to give a little bit about the universe I'm making, maybe I'll retcon it, maybe I won't.

So, here's a look through the world building I've done as of now! I'm going to start writing this fanfic, possibly.

System & Contracts —

So, first of all the 'systems' would show themselves in forms of animals. They would appear infront of people that are in hopeless situations and strike a deal with them, thus making a contract (now that I write it, I can't help but think of kyubey).

So, basically, the people who enter a 'contract' will now be addressed as 'actors'. They then will have to complete missions, while also fixing poorly written stories for coins. Although they are asked to fix the story, they can not act out of their assigned roles — say an antagonist can't directly help the protagonist, but there would be a way arround this.

The systems are also there to help as guide to the transmigrator and also for the 'stats' screen. The systems also provide the 'actor' with 1) the story, 2) the comments 3) keeping track of the story, and lastly 4) a shop.

Coins & the shop —

First thing you should know about coins is that they can be converted into actual money. It's complicated to explain the value in terms of real life money, because obviously we don't use one currency all around the world but I have thought of something.

Another use of coins is a special shop which can only be accessed after finishing one story. This special shop is different from the shop we'd see while inside of the stories because it includes stuff that you can take with you (including abilities. is it reckless? truly. has anyone ever been able to do this before? only one. why? the shop is very expensive.) You can also convert your coins to money here.

The shop that you can access while in the stories includes items only usable while you are in a story, most items are multiple use but some might have restrictions — say you bought a potion that makes you faster, the effect will only last during the time frame of XYZ minutes or maybe hours but after that you would loose the ability. You would also have to buy that item again. Basically, like a game.

Missions —

Missions are something the actors would have to complete in order to gain more coins. It would align with the roles you have to play in the story. The amount of coins is depending on the level of importance of the mission.

Failure of missions has a penalty involved, which actors are not informed about prior to making any mistake — penalties may include: electrocution, severe pain, anuersym, de-clawing (removing the nails completely) and other torture methods. They would, however not have any physical demage afterwards. Like, they would feel the pain and there might even be bleeding but their bodies will return to normal.

With that on the side, here's the four stories I've thought about for Sabito to transmigrate in —

A teen girl romance novel: His role would be of an antagonist. He would be a bully of sorts, which would totally gross him out. What comes into my mind of speaking of this are the cringey Wattpad Y/N ones or maybe novels that follow the same formula of hunky cool boy and he's such a red flag that it needs to be scientifically researched, newcomer FL blah blah blah. Sabito messes this shit up like it's nobody's concern. According to him he was only "required to be mean to the the ML" and "being nice to the other characters doesn't count". But, you know, it totally does.

The next one's a post apocalyptic world. I'm afraid Sabito gets casted as the villain again. The system said, “Uhm, you suck ass in this, better try to be a good villain bbg.” I was thinking of just punching the story's guts with corona virus at first but why not, a zombie outbreak.

The next is a normal fantasy world set in historical europe, because it's common to see that and very repeating. Sabito overthrows the king somehow, while functioning on oranges. I don't know how but I will make that happen. Thankfully, the system this time casts him as the second male lead. So he can be nice without restrictions in this one. He's a duke because that's pretty recurring in manhwas.

The next one is a murder mystery, Sabito gets casted as one of the people at a hotel — a cheap third rate actor who commits theft and maybe murder. But somehow, Sabito manages to bring a "they all did it!" Divergence.

I might end up adding more stories heh. Kind of want to see him as a mad scientist, also, this AU will include sabigiyuu, I won't tell you "how?" right now but I will say one thing that there's also a hidden plot — you'll have to catch on! Or maybe you might see it unfold later.

Pretty sure it’s COVID. So let’s talk science, history, statistics, politics and facts. It’s got me a little rattled. I’ve had COVID at least once before. I slept 48 hours, dealt with flavorless food for a week and it was gone. The incubation period was a little over a week. This time, I presumably got it from Mrs. Doc who came down with it first. Within 12 hours both I and our youngest got it. We may all have been exposed at the same time, given her weakened immune state. Hard to say. But 12 hours is lightning fast. I then gave it to an employee. I try to never breathe on people, as I have a thing about being breathed upon. Still, standing shoulder to shoulder with him, within 48 hours he got it.

Viral infections have no cure. No vaccine. A vaccine is made up of dead, crushed cell parts of the bacterium, injected into the host (you and me), it allows the bodies soldiers a snapshot of what to look for so when it sees it or any mart of it, it can isolate and destroy it. mRNA doesn’t do that at all. It modifies YOUR genetic markers, changing you, hopefully to be resistant to the virus. That in my not so expert opinion is a wildly dangerous theory that should NEVER have been tested on the population.

So, 12-48 hours incubation. Where else have we seen this? 1918 with the Spanish Flu. That too was a Corona/SARS virus. It was a naturally occurring hybrid of swine and avian flu. The incubation period was an estimated 12 hours. Diagnosed, the patient was dead within 12 hours. It attacked the young, vibrant and healthy. Starting with cold like symptoms, observers witnessed a plaque build up of White Blood Cells presenting as mucous on the back of the throat that quickly spread to the bronchioles rendering them worthless. The patients would turn a deep purple to black color and then, just prior to death, all of that mucous/WBC plaque would simply vanish. They literally suffocated. In 1918, the average daily death toll in Philadelphia was 426. That’s per day. Let that sink in.

From 1918-1926 the newly established Department of Public Health, along with the US Army and the insurance company Mutual of New York conducted a study. What they found was the wearing of (cloth) surgical masks did nothing to slow or abate the spread. Also, the imposition of quarantine was a death sentence for those not infected, living in the same residence.

The US government has had in its labs since 1967, COVID-19. It was by direction of Dr. Fauci, approved by President Obama that the bio weapons lab at Ft. Detrick be shut down and those agents/experiments be outsourced to among other places, Wuhan, China. That is China, a communist country/enemy of the US.

Dr. Fauci and Dr. Collins funded the Gain of Function research of COVID-19. There are two very similar definitions for the term Gain of Function. The civilian definition is that it is the ability to understand what makes a given virus/bacterium tick so that we can then either kill it or render it ineffective. Sounds good. The military definition is the same but the goal is to enhance its virulence all the while we can control/target it to a given enemy. Think mustard gas and gas masks in WW I.

Now, think back to 2020 when this thing sprang out of nowhere. No one stopped to ask how Dr. Fauci knew immediately what it was. Nor did anyone bother to question his constant reversals on whether or not wearing a mask was necessary. He just knew because he is smarter than the rest of us. At least, that is what we were told.

Immediately, the US Army deployed a Surgical Field Hospital to NYC. Dozens of refrigerator semi trailers were brought in as holding containers or the onslaught of dead that they were sure were coming. A month went by and due to great expense, having seen only 100 patients, none of who had COVID-19, the Army packed it in and went home. The CDC brought in Dr. Birx who changed the way we count Cause of Death. People who objected quit and were immediately silenced. No longer interested exclusively in COVID-19 as the Primary COD, we now actually paid hospital groups to test the dead for COVID-19. Literally, you could die in a horrific car crash, and post mortem be tested for, pop positive and then have that secondary, tertiary or ancillary finding become the Primary COD. Philadelphia 1918, 426 per day. Philadelphia 2020, you weed through and filter out the extraneous bull shit diagnoses and what you end up with is a probable 23 per month. A monumental intentional inflation of numbers. Now pay attention because here where federal law and policy matter.

In 2012 President Obama signed into law the new Smith-Mundt Modernization Act. That allows the government to pay “news” sources - like ABC, CBS, NBC, CNN, MSNBC, etc., to report propaganda pieces that can be patent lies. Now think fear mongering, suspension of inalienable rights, and the liberty to exercise those rights.

Federal law requires that there be no other known cure available, in a time of “national emergency” to suspend and waive requisite testing of new drugs or vaccines. There were again doctors: immunologists, who spoke out against mRNA and pointed to other drugs that could prove effective. Just like those at the CDC who opposed Dr. Birx, these experts were shut down, silenced and in several cases imprisoned.

Sound like “conspiracy theory”? Think twice. Look up nuclear testing on US military from 1946-1962. Having signed a record of non disclosure many went to their graves carrying that secret. That non disclosure was finally lifted in 1996. MK Ultra, The Tuskegee Experiments, etc.. Would the Democrats diabolically unleash this upon the world to rid themselves of Trump? Both Charles Schwab and Bill Gates insist this is exactly what happened - and they are both in favor of it. I’m not saying the Democrats did this, I’m only looking at history, their party history. Figure the odds. And so many want to turn healthcare over to these monsters?

Your thoughts on this folks?

Americans have been watching a massive, controlled Military Operation who strategically and critically planned and successfully trapped the Washington Establishment… Made them all confess their crimes and play a role in this operation piece by piece… as Americans have had to visually see and witness a ‘Continuation of Government’ in the form of a “Presidential Administration” where these corrupt and evil people will, have, and will continue to destroy their system from within, spend all of their dirty money doing so, until it’s time for the Military to visually step in.

The timelines all add up and prove the Military Operation and Occupancy:

1.     Snake Poem read by candidate Donald Trump – January 2016

2.     2016 Presidential Election – November 2016

3.     President Elect Trump and Putin on Fox News = “ready for ‘reset’… I will work with Trump” – November 9, 2016

4.     Law of War Manual (Military Occupancy and Negotiations etc.) – December 2016

5.     Military Justice Act (Supreme Court clarifying Military Law is separate than Civil Law; heavy emphasis on Military Tribunal terms) – 2016

6.     Military stands behind CIC Trump (Military Intelligence and JAG head bands; Optics) at Inauguration – January 2017

7.     Saudi Arabia crowns Trump King – May 2017

8.     Declares Jerusalem Capitol of Israel – December 2017

13. CIC Trump makes history; walks into North Korea – June 2019  

14. National Quantum Initiative – Executive Order 13885 – August 2019

15. Space Force established as Military Branch – December 2019

16. Corona Sars Virus first mentioned to American Public as a Threat from China – February 2020

17. Two more National Emergencies Declared – March 13 and 27, 2020

19. CIC Trump quote on attack worse than Pearl Harbor and 9/11 combined – May 2020

20. National Guard Troops place fence around Capitol Building (47 US Code 606) – January 2021

21. CIC Trump receives full grade Constitutional by Law and Military Grade Inauguration ceremony – January 20, 2021

22. “Joe Biden” breaks 20th Amendment amongst many other violations – January 20, 2021

23. Aircrafts constantly over and through 33 mile no fly zone radius D.C. – January 2021 to present day

24. “Biden” extends Executive Order 13848 (first time) – September 2021

25. Quantum.gov launched – September 2021

26. New York Times reports Military Tribunals coming mid-2023 – December 2021

27. Army and branches transfer all communications to Space Force under ONE command (Biden’s never mentioned the Space Force not once; zero News Articles with his name tied to Space Force) – August 2022

28. Major Optics and Comms in CIC Trump speech – November 15 2022

29. More News Articles establishing Space Force Command Centers with zero mention of Biden – December 2022

Those few timelines and timestamps do nothing but prove a Military Operation and Occupancy along with many more Laws, Codes, Orders, Statutes, Acts, Optics,

The National Guard has been out of their state militia status and operating as Active-Duty Status every day since they were Federalized in March 2020.

There’s MORE than enough documentation and ‘proof’ to show not only the National Guard, but also thousands of World Alliance Aircrafts in and out of the United States and National Guard bases.

There’s United States Coast Guards with United States Navy at their stations. USCG is Department of Homeland Security during Peacetime and transferred to the Department of the Navy during Wartime.

The Brunson vs. Adams case simply states the obvious… Congress violated the Constitution.

- Benjamin Fulford

I will add; everyone thinks they know what's going on but very few have done any research on Trump's executive orders. Everyone has discarded Q because they have seen dates come and go without seeing any results. Fact is they weren't dates but rather chapters and paragraphs from the law of war manual.

We're going by the Book. Why? Because it has to be done by the rule of law, if not, it's just more crimes being committed.
