All of our mobile vehicle lockout technicians have years of experience and the necessary tools required to open locked car doors without causing any damage. On average, we can have a vehicle lockout locksmith on-site in Firestone, Colorado within 30 minutes of calling or less, on average. We understand that lockout services don't wait for a convenient time to occur, which is why all of our technicians are capable of opening vehicles at any time of the day or night.

It's not uncommon for individuals to accidentally get locked out of their vehicle and then try to regain entry themselves. While it is certainly possible to get back into your locked vehicle yourself, we typically recommend against this unless having the proper knowledge and tools to do so. It is pretty frequent that our vehicle lockout technicians in Firestone will arrive on-site only to see that the customer has attempted to regain entry themselves. Generally speaking, the most common ways that individuals will try to regain entry to their vehicle is by prying their door open with a hammer or screwdriver and then trying to unlock the vehicle from the inside with a coat hanger or similar device. We recommend against this course of action, especially without the proper tools, training, or knowledge, as it will most likely cause damage to the vehicle. Some of the most common types of damages that occur with the use of improper tools include bending the door, tearing the rubber lining that stops rain, and scratching the paint around the door. It is pretty frequent that customers will call us after failing to gain entry themselves, and leaving their car or truck with damage.

Our mobile Firestone locksmiths have the necessary tools and training required to open all types of trucks and car door locks when keys are locked inside, and they can do so without causing any damage whatsoever. Similarly, we also don't recommend breaking a vehicle window in order to regain entry as repair bills can be costly and time-consuming. Comparatively speaking, a vehicle lockout service is generally the most affordable and quickest option versus breaking and replacing a window. It should also be noted that most drivers with comprehensive insurance, such as policies that include towing or roadside assistance, usually but not always have lockout services included in the policy as well. This will of course vary based on the insurance company and policy coverage, and most insurance companies have different procedures. This is why it may be a good idea to first check with your insurance company when you are locked out of your vehicle to see if they will be able to help by sending a locksmith to you or possibly reimburse you for the cost of getting the door open.

[arcticdementor]

You know what America needs? More mirrors for princes—the Renaissance genre of advice books directed at statesmen. On the Right, we have many books that identify, and complain about, the problems of modernity and the challenges facing us. Some of those books do offer concrete solutions, but their audience is usually either the educated masses, who cannot themselves translate those solutions into policy, or policymakers who have no actual power, or refuse to use the power they do have. Scott Yenor’s bold new book is directed at those who have the will to actually rule. He lays out what has been done to the modern family, why, and what can and should be done about it, by those who have power, now or in the future. Let’s hope the target audience pays attention.

The Recovery of Family Life instructs future princes in two steps. First, Yenor dissects the venomous ideology of feminism, which seeks to abolish all natural distinctions between the sexes, as well as all social structures that organically arise from those distinctions. Second, he tells how the family regime of a healthy modern society should be structured. By absorbing both lessons and applying them in practice, the wise statesman can, Yenor hopes, accomplish the recovery of family life. (Yenor himself does not compare his book to a mirror for princes; he’s too modest for that. But that’s what it is.)

…

You will note that this is a spicy set of positions for an academic of today to hold. You will therefore not be surprised to learn that Yenor was the target of cancel culture before being a target was cool. He is a professor of political philosophy at Boise State University, and in 2016, in response to Yenor’s publication of two pieces containing, to normal people, anodyne factual statements about men and women, a mob of leftist students tried to defenestrate him. Yenor was “homophobic, transphobic, and misogynistic.” (We can ignore that the first two of those words are mostly content-free propaganda terms designed to blur discourse, though certainly to the extent they do have meaning, that meaning should be celebrated—I would have given Yenor a medal, if I had been in charge of Boise State.) They didn’t manage to get him fired (he has tenure and refused to bend), but the usual baying mob, led by Yenor’s supposed peers, put enormous pressure on him, which could not have been easy. He still teaches there; whether it is fun for him, I do not know, but it certainly hasn’t stopped him promulgating the truth.

…

Yenor begins by examining the intellectual origins of the rolling revolution, found most clearly within twentieth-century feminism. One service Yenor provides is to draw the battle lines clearly. He does this by swimming in the fetid swamps of feminism; I learned a lot I did not know, although none of it was pleasing. He spends a little time discussing so-called first-wave feminism, but much more on second-wave feminists, starting with Simone de Beauvoir, through Betty Friedan, and into Shulamith Firestone, this latter a literally insane harridan who starved herself to death. The common thread among these writers was their baseless claim that women had no inherent meaningful difference from men, and that women could only be happy by the abolition of any perceived difference. This was to lead to self-focused self-actualization resulting in total autonomy, and a woman would know she had achieved this, most often, by making working outside the home the focus of her existence. Friedan was the great popularizer of this destructive message, of course, which I recently attacked at length in my thoughts on her book The Feminine Mystique.

…

After this detailed examination of core feminist ideas, Yenor suffers more, slogging through the thought about autonomy of various two-bit modern con men, notably Ronald Dworkin and John Rawls. He analyzes the dishonest argumentative methods of all the Left, in general and in specific with regard to family topics—false claims mixed with false dichotomies and false comparisons, what he calls the “liberal wringer,” the mechanism by which any argument against the rolling revolution is dishonestly deconstructed and all engagement with it avoided. The lesson for princes, I think, is to not participate in such arguments, and to remember what our enemies long ago learned and put into practice—that power is all.

Yenor describes how the modern Left (which he somewhat confusingly calls “liberalism,” but Rawls and his ilk are not liberal in any meaningful sense of the term, rather they are Left) uses the law to achieve its goal of the “pure relationship,” meaning the aim that all relationships must be ones of free continuous choice, that is, without any supposed repression. This leads to various destructive results when it collides with reality, including the reality of parent-child bonds, and more generally is hugely destructive of social cohesion. From this also flow various deleterious consequences resulting from ending supposed sexual repression; this section is replete with analysis of writings from Michel Foucault to Aldous Huxley, and contains much complexity, but in short revolves around what was once a commonplace—true freedom is not release from constraints, but the freedom to choose rightly, to choose virtue and not to be a slave to passions, and rejection of this truth is the basis of many of our modern problems.

…

Finally, Yenor turns to what should be done, which is the most noteworthy part of the book. As he says, “Intellectuals who defend the family rightly spend much time exposing blind spots in the contemporary ideology. All this time spent in the defensive crouch, however, distracts them from thinking through where these limits [i.e., the limits Yenor has just outlined in detail] point in our particular time and place. Seeing the goodness in those limits, it is necessary also to reconstruct a public opinion and a public policy that appreciates those limits.” Thus, Yenor strives to show what a “better family policy” would be.

This is an admirable effort, but I fear it is caught on the horns of a dilemma. The rolling revolution does not permit any stopping or slowing; much less does it permit any retrenchment or reversal. Our enemies don’t care what we think a better family policy would be. And if we were to gain the power to implement a better family policy, by first smashing their power, there is no reason for it to be as modest as that Yenor outlines—rather, it should be radical, an utter unwinding of the nasty web they have woven, and the creation of a new thing. Not a restoration, precisely, but a new thing for our time, informed by the timeless Old Wisdom that Yenor extols. The defect in Yenor’s thought, or at least in his writing, is refusing to acknowledge it is only power that matters for the topics about which he cares most. But presumably the future princes at whom this book is aimed will know this in their bones.

Yenor himself doesn’t exactly exude optimism. Nor does he exude pessimism, but he begins by telling us that “we are still only in the infancy” of the rolling revolution. This seems wrong to me; in the modern age, time is compressed, and fifty years is plenty of time for the rolling revolution, a set of ideologies based on the denial of reality, to reach its inevitable senescence, when reality reasserts itself with vigor. This is particularly true since every new front opened by the revolution is more anti-reality, more destructive, and more revolting to normal people, who eventually will have had enough, and the sooner, if given the right leadership.

…

For most purposes, what Yenor advocates would be a restoration of family policy, both in law and society, as it existed in America in the mid-twentieth century. I’m not sure that’s going back far enough for ideas. You’re not supposed to say it out loud, and Yenor doesn’t, but it’s not at all clear to me that even first-wave feminism had any virtue at all. To the extent it is substantively discussed today, we are given a caricature, where the views of those opposed to Mary Wollstonecraft or John Stuart Mill are not told to us, rather distorted polemics of those authors about their opponents are presented as accurate depictions, which is unlikely, and even those depictions are never engaged with. But we know that most of what Mill said about politics in general was self-dealing lies that have proven to be enormously destructive, so the presumption should be that what he said about relations between men and women was equally risible.

…

Penultimately, Yenor addresses such new frontiers being sought by the rolling revolution, with the implication that the rolling revolution might, perhaps, be halted. Here he talks about the desire of the Left to have the state separate children from parents, particularly where and because the parents oppose the revolution, but more generally to break the parent-child bond as a threat to unlimited autonomy. He says, optimistically, “No respectable person has (yet) suggested that parents could be turned in for hate speech behind closed doors.” But this has already been proven false; Scotland is on the verge of passing a new blasphemy law, the “Hate Crime and Public Order Law,” and Scotland’s so-called Justice Minister (with the very Scots name of Humza Yousaf) has explicitly noted, and called for, entirely private conversations in the home that were “hate speech” to be prosecuted once the law is passed. A man like that is beyond secular redemption, yet he is also a mainline representative of the rolling revolution. The reality is that discussion does not, and will never work, with these people, only force. Still trying, Yenor presents a balanced picture to his hoped-for audience of princes, such as discussing when state interference in the family makes sense (as in cases of abuse). However, such situations have been adequately addressed in law for hundreds of years; the rolling revolution is not a new type of such balancing, but the Enemy. Discussions about it will not stop it. No general of the rolling revolution will even notice this book, except in that perhaps some myrmidons may be detached from the main host to punish Yenor, or to record his name for future punishment.

Yenor ends with a pithy set of responses to the tedious propagandistic aphorisms of the rolling revolution, such as “Feminism is the radical notion that women are human beings.” And, laying out a clear vision of a renewed society based on the principals he has earlier discussed, he tells us, “In the long term, the goal is to stigmatize the assumptions of the rolling revolution.” No doubt this is true; cauterizing the societal wound where the rolling revolution will have been amputated from our society will be, in part, accomplished by stigmatizing both the ideas and those who clamored for them or led their implementation. How to get to that desirable “long term,” though, when their long term is very clear, and very different from the long term Yenor hopes for? He says “Prudent statesmen must mix our dominant regime with doses of reality.” Yeah, no. Prudent statesmen, the new princes, must entirely overthrow our dominant regime, or not only will not a single one of Yenor’s desired outcomes see the light of day, far worse evils will be imposed on us. Oh, I’m sure Yenor knows this; it’s the necessary conclusion of Yenor’s own discussion of those eagerly desired future evils. He just can’t be as aggressive as me. I’m here to tell you that you should read this book, but amp up the aggression a good eight times—which shouldn’t be a problem, especially if you have children of your own, whose innocence and future these people want to steal.

@fire-blooded​

It wasn’t often that Melissa had something she wanted to sell or trade at Firestone. Her interactions with Damien usually were limited to her shelling out an exorbitant amount of money (any amount in the triple digits made her cringe), but it was always for an important cause. Either something to help one of her strays or to sate her curiosity. Equally important.

This time she wasn’t exactly selling, but she was bringing Damien something potentially interesting. One of her tenants had left an odd ring behind during one of their stays. Melissa had caught it immediately when she went upstairs to check on the apartment and tried to get ahold of them, but it was truly like they had just vanished into thin air. Their phone was out of service, their usual contacts hadn’t seen them around. 

There was a full day of Melissa just examining the ring, trying to find out what it was with her limited resources before she knew she was going to have to ask for help. The only thing she had been able to figure out was that the ring had slots you could open, but Melissa couldn’t do it. Whether it was because she was a human, or there was some kind of key she was missing. Whatever the reason, Damien seemed to be her best bet. 

Melissa knocked on the door to the nondescript shop before entering, a sort of ritual she had established - as if to warn Damien and any guests he could have that there was a human incoming. “Damien?” she called out, stepping in.

The other night I went to the Stardust Club in Downey to see San Francisco Bay Area band, Starry Eyed Cadet. Before leaving home, I was fairly sure that I’d been to the Stardust before previously to see Zip Code play there.  As I got closer, heading down Firestone Boulevard, I was certain that this was the place. There was something memorable about the bar, even though at first glance it appears to be a fairly run-of-the-mill suburban strip mall saloon. Paying closer attention my eyes were drawn to the weird, indoor shingles and the old-fashioned sparkly ceiling. Then there’s the name — Stardust — which echoes that of a celebrated Las Vegas resort but seems somewhat incongruous when applied to a dingy, Downey dive. I decided to delve into its history for another edition of Swinging Doors.

Welcome to the Firestone Center!

The Stardust Club, in its current state, is a fairly n bar in Downey‘s Orange Estates subdivision. It is situated inside of a strip mall called the Firestone Center, which has a pleasingly ostentatious sign.

The strip mall’s architectural design includes rough rock walls — a look that I think of as Stone Age Modern. My guess was that it was built around 1958 and my hunch was correct. It was completed the following year, in 1959. That happens to be the year after the Las Vegas Stardust opened. An ashtray from the Downey bar uses the same font as the Vegas Stardust and for those reasons I assume that Downey’s Stardust was named in homage to Las Vegas’s.

I couldn’t find the Downey bar’s opening date but it was in operation at least as early as 1961, when it was known as the Stardust Lounge. It was owned and operated by two brothers — Ray and Johnny “the Downey Flash” Ortiz. The Ortiz brothers were athletes and sports enthusiasts and the Stardust Lounge was a sports bar. Two television sets broadcast sporting events, there was a modest amount of sports paraphernalia, and the bar catered to athletes who, in many cases, were introduced to the bar by Los Angeles Herald-Examiner sports editor, Bud Furillo. Thanks in part to Furillo’s efforts, Stardust regulars included baseball stars Mickey Mantle and Yogi Berra; American Footballers Johnny Unitas, Marlin McKeever, and Roman Gabriel; and boxer Jerry Quarry.

A Stardust Lounge ashtray

In 1964, a conflict between Gino Marchetti of the Baltimore Colts and Frank Ryan of the Cleveland Browns — both of whom were in town to play at the Pro Bowl Game — nearly got out of hand, which furthered the Stardust’s reputation as a sports bar. It also garnered it a degree of notoriety. In 1967, after the Los Angeles Rams moved daily operations to Long Beach‘s Blair Field, some of the Rams settled in the area — but coach George Allen let it be known that he was not at all happy with his players patronizing the bar.

The Stardust crew also did their best to attract female patrons at a time when it was just becoming popular for single women to patronize bars. The clientele composed largely of athletes and single women probably accounts, in part, for the Stardust’s appeal with Hollywood actors like Henry Fonda, Robert Mitchum, and Steve McQueen. That it was located deep in suburbia and far from the prying eyes of the paparazzi probably didn’t hurt either. Downey, in many ways, is the quintessential Southern California suburb. It was one of those places where orange groves had been bulldozed and single-family homes hastily erected in their place. It’s where Taco Bell was born and is still home to the oldest McDonald’s still in operation. Downey Records recorded local acts who made music in the garage rock, hot rod, and surf rock styles.

Some people romanticize the mid-20th century as a sort of golden age of suburbia but naturally, there was a dark underbelly which sometimes revealed itself at the bar. In the early hours of New Year’s Day, 1965, a group of four armed men attempted unsuccessfully to rob the Stardust after hours. Johnny Ortiz was shot but not seriously injured.  The Southeast News & Downey Champion reported on the incident with a piece titled “4 Men Mess Up Attempt to Rob Cocktail Lounge.” It was also colorfully recounted in Ortiz’s memoir, My Life Among the Icons: A Fascinating Memoir of a Raconteur Whose Life Intersected with the Giants of Sports and the Glamour of Hollywood. The criminals were Lewis Donald Fritz of Compton, his brother Phillip W. Fritz, and their accomplices Teddy M. Primrose and Dwain C. Patella. The car, which was abandoned after the gas tank fell out, was easily traced to its owner, Lewis.

That incident brought the Ortiz brothers into contact with Jack Kirschke — a deputy district attorney and an officer in the Long Beach Yacht Club. Ray invited Kirschke to the Stardust and he soon became a regular, along with his wife, a former model and fashion designer named Elaine. Jack and Elaine reportedly had an open marriage and an arrangement that allowed them to pick-up dates at the Stardust, even when their spouse was present. As part of their understanding, dates would spend the night in the couple’s bed whilst the other spouse would spend the night in their yacht, moored in a canal behind their Naples home. On 8 April 1967, the bodies of Elaine and her flight instructor, Orville “Bill” Drankhan, were discovered in the couple’s bed. Jack claimed he’d been at the Stardust — the one in Vegas. The crime was recounted in James Judd‘s 1968 book, Dawn of doubt; the Jack Kirschke murder trial. The night before the verdict was read, Kirschke was honored with a party at the Stardust in Downey. The next day, however, he was found guilty of two counts of first-degree murder for which he ultimately served twelve years in prison. Upon his release, he apparently stopped by the Stardust once again.

While Jack was awaiting trial, Johnny had sold his share to Ray and opened an “expansion club,” the Lancer Lounge, with Bud Furillo. Like the Stardust, it was a sports bar. It was also located in Downey. Unlike the Stardust, however, it closed sometime after 1974.

The Stardust made another appearance in another true crime with Vincent Bugliosi‘s Till Death Do Us Part (1978). That book detailed an incident in which an ex-police officer, Paul S. Perveler, murdered his wife and his mistress’s husband for $100,000 in insurance money… and likely so that the two lovers could be together. It’s somewhat less clear what role Perveler’s mistress, Kristina Cromwell, played in the murders but Bugliosi describes her as frequenting the Stardust (she lived nearby on McCallum Street). In 1969, both were found guilty of murder although Cromwell was released from prison in 1976.

Although it hasn’t yet appeared in any true crime works, in November 1983, (following a robbery in Inglewood and shooting in Huntington Park), four teenage members of the East Coast Crips [from South Los Angeles’s Eastside] robbed a trio of musicians who were loading their equipment in front of the Stardust. When then-23-year-old Tracey Bennington of Bell exited the bar, they nabbed her too. Patrolling officer Charles Baptista witnessed the crime, called for back-up, and a chase ensued which ended with the Crips’ (stolen) vehicle overturning in Compton.

Real change came to Downey with the end of the Cold War in 1991. With the reduced threat of nuclear annihilation, military spending was reduced and defense jobs were cut. Rockwell International, one Downey’s largest employer, closed in 1999. The Anglo population declined and the Latino population grew. Today the suburb’s largest employer is Kaiser Permanente and Mexican-Americans, once a minority, comprise more than 70% of the town’s population. Today’s substantial minorities include non-Latino whites, Salvadorans, Filipinos, Koreans, Cubans, and Guatemalans.

Manuel “Manny” Gutierrez” bought the Stardust in 1994 and it seems that Ray Ortiz then retired. He died of pancreatic cancer on 20 February 2004, at the age of 72. Perhaps the change in owners accounts for the change in name to “Stardust Club” as well as it’s shift in focus from sports lounge to live music venue. Today, music is mostly provided by unsigned local bands, tribute acts, DJs, and karaoke. There’s, also, of course, an internet jukebox. The walls are covered with vinyl promotions for Anheuser-Busch products — but there are no longer any beers on tap.

There is also a small pool room and the sort of generic framed pictures of musicians one expects to see in a basement pool or dorm room.

Starry Eyed Cadet featuring Lillian Yee

On the night of my most recent visit, the opening acts were Mayday and Hello Pacific. They were followed by the aforementioned Starry Eyed Cadet — whose name alone would’ve been enough to warrant a visit to the Stardust Club. During their set they were joined by Lillian Yee of the equally heavenly Sky Faction.

Rules and regulations-ah!

Is a “Super Party” the same thing as a “Thanksgiving II“?

As they performed, I let my eyes wander around the bar. I noticed that there are still a couple of televisions and it’s possible that some of the old-timers thus haven’t noticed the lounge’s otherwise substantial changes.

In the bathroom was one of those raunchy novelty vending machines I used to see in remote gas stations on long road trips. I almost dropped in a few quarters just to see if it was actually stocked but didn’t. Stocked or not, it adds to the somewhat grimy atmosphere where, above all else, the ceiling still sparkles faintly.

GETTING THERE

Downey is, like most American suburbs, easily walkable or cyclable and yet rarely does anyone go anywhere but in an automobile. Of its many streets, there is but one dedicated bicycle lane along Gardendale Street, and it’s only a few hundred meters long. The only train line, the Green Line, stops at Lakewood Boulevard Station, five kilometers from the bar. Local service is provided by DowneyLINK, although that ends daily at 6:30 pm. Metro’s 115 Line, which runs between Norwalk with Playa del Rey, stops near the bar but doesn’t operate much after midnight… so if you hear the cry of “last call,” you may have to find another way home — or wait another three hours for service of the line to resume.

New Metatron Channel Archangel Metatron via James Tyberonn

Keepers of the CrystalsThe Blue Races of Hollow Earth

Copyrights Reserved 2017 Greeting Masters, I am Metatron, Angelic of Light with Tyberonn of Crystalline Service. 

We greet you in a vector of unconditional love! Dear Humans, As the frequency of the new earth continues to increase, so does the vibratory rate of the crystals. This is by purpose, by plan, for indeed the major crystal fields of the planet are playing major roles in the dissemination of the crystalline pattern. 

Indeed, the conscious mineral kingdom of the Earth is awakening to new levels of importance and influence. It is in fact the 'Crystalline' regions of the Earth that are playing the most prominent role in the shifts and upgrades in dimensional frequency. And we assure you, logically, this benevolent influence & resulting crysto-pineal stimulation is of great benefit for humanity. More and more of you are feeling the draw to visit crystalline energy fields, and indeed there is intuitive understanding & purpose of great significance in doing so. We assure you,  there is a divinely orchestrated & purposeful call within the crystalline members of the conscious mineral kingdom to increase the generation & flow of vital life force, of coded geo-energy that it receives from the crystalline core of the earth, Saturn and from the central sun.

In essence the massive crystal fields of Arkansas & Brazil act as 'motherboards', to use your computer vernacular. They receive codes, convert them and communicate, or project,  the new crystalline pattern to the planet and humanity in the ongoing up-shift. To no small degree they are monitored and maintained by the Masters of the Sirian-Pleiadean- Arcturian Alliance, with assistance from certain 'Omni-Earthplane' races of what may be termed as the 'Blue Beings. Parallels & Blue Beings And so in this channeling we are asked to speak on the 'Blue Beings' & parallel dimensional realms, with emphasis on the region of the Crystalline Vortex of Arkansas. Humanity tends to think of the earth as its own, yet the conscious earth has many levels, many parts termed as the Omni-Earth that combine to make a complex multidimensional whole. The Earth was occupied long before human souls manifested into physicality. Races from other systems of the physical and non-physical omni-verse have been visiting and indeed dwelling on the earth for billions of years. And in fact, the animal, plant & mineral kingdoms were well established eons before humanity began their earthly reign over physical dominions. Physical mankind, in a very relative sense, are the comparative newcomers.

Dimensional Clarity In the Crystalline shift, of 2017 and beyond, these 'parallel' realms will become more tangible to you, and in due time, you will meet your 'next-door' dimensional neighbors. There are numerous succinct energy forces that create a fertile field of dimensional parallels. Crystalline minerals, noble & conductive metals, radioactive minerals, tectonic pressure, dynamic aquifer systems and volcanics each project certain vectors of vibrational frequency which can potentially become unique concentric capacitors of life forms within parallel multi-dimensionality. Such vectors enable anomalies in the space time continuum & provide valid realms of parallel physical, pseudo-physical & non matter domains. It is natural and fitting that the crystalline deposits on the planet are among the first to display remarkable evidence of life forms that were previously less tangible.

Atlantis & Star Nation Because of the unique crystalline geology of what is now termed as 'Arkansas', this hi-frequency land was & remains uniquely attractive to all life. Indeed the crystal-geology indigenous to Arkansas was chosen in past time epochs as a colony of not only the 'Atla-Ra' Atlanteans, but also of the blue-skin races of Lumania & LeMuria , as well as the benevolent 'Star-Nation ET's, of the  'Sirian-Pleiadian-Arcturian Alliance'. The crystalline energy of the massive quartz & mineral deposits in both Arkansas & Brazil have projection field vectors that are visible (and tangible) from far above the earth sphere. The double spin vortex of Arkansas reaches well above the stratosphere, and forms what may be termed as a major highway, a dimensional corridor, or wormhole, which facilitates entry. The ET, in your vernacular, the Star-Nation were the first to establish bases in the area of the crystals eons before humanity entered the earth-plane. The massive crystals and crystal caverns of Ark formed approximately 250-300 million years ago, in a time in which waters of oceans and lakes of glacier melt competed for containment, in a give and take of ebb & flow. Extensive waters covered much of the area that is now Arkansas. The Star Beings established bases in the crystals regions of Arkansas roughly 100 million years ago. The Ouachita & Ozark Mountains in this time were considerably higher and appeared as large islands.   Subterranean bases were established within the earth, below the surface waters, in the massive caverns.

Pleiades & the Atla-Ra It was in fact the Pleiadian contingency that advised the Atlanteans of the Crystal sources in Arkansas (and Brazil)....and were indeed responsible for much of the technology developed in Atlantis with crystalline quartz. The Pleiadeans were very instrumental in the early stages of Atlantis, and dwelt on (and in) the omni-earth without permanent manifestation into physical realms. The Atla-Ra, those termed as the scientist priest of Atlantis, were in fact trained by the spiritual Pleiadeans.   They were initiates of a great wisdom school involving disciplines of sacred science & spiritual mastery of the 'Law of One'. The Atla-Ra became highly developed mystics with extraordinary powers of mind, yet adhering to high values of spiritual morality and altruistic ideals.  The Atla-Ra were the benevolent & intellectual mystical scientist priests, of male, female & androgynous beings, that were the initiated 'Masters of the Crystals'. In the first 2 periods of the three phases of Atlantis, only the Law of One wielded control, and benevolently so, of the crystals. Only in the final phases were non-initiate Aryans allowed into the knowledge, and they sadly betrayed this wisdom.   

Editor Insert: (Edgar Cayce Reading 440-5) About the firestone that was in the experience did the activities of the entity then make those applications that dealt with both the constructive and destructive forces in the period....The building above the stone (Tuaoi Crystal) was oval, or a dome wherein there could be or was the rolling back, so that the activity of the stone was received from the sun's rays, or from the stars; the concentrating of the energies that emanate from bodies that are on fire themselves - with the elements that are found and that are not found in the earth's atmosphere. The concentration through the prisms or (crystal) glass, as would be called in the present, was in such a manner that it acted upon the instruments that were connected with the various modes of travel, through induction methods ...The preparation of this stone was in the hands only of the initiates at the time...'  The Atlanteans of the Atla-Ra were primarily of Pleiadian star-seed. The 'Golden Ones' as they were termed,  were what may be considered as giants in current times, standing between 10 - 12 feet in height, and  in some cases extended to 15 feet. They were generally well proportioned, born into a naturally athletic physiology. The 'Golden' Atlanteans had a skin toning or hue of a burnished yellow-gold, and typically had blond hair, and would appear similar to the 'Nordic' race of Pleiadeans, from which they were seeded... except for the skin tone. Their average life expectancy extended from 900 to 1200 years, although some were capable of rejuvenation and lived beyond 7000 years. Certain of your present seers have predicted that evidence of Atlantis is to be found in Arkansas; (Editor's Note-Kryon & Tyberonn) ... but we tell you it will not be discovered on the surface, as an archeological remnant. We will add that the most viable surviving 'surface' remnants of ancient Atlantis are visible in Peru, Central America, Egypt & Mediterranean areas, all of which were Atlantean colonies. 

Question to Metatron: Edgar Cayce also spoke of 3 Halls of Records preserved underground by the Atlantean, Iltar, before the final sinking. Are any part of these in Arkansas or Brazil?  Are their tunnels connecting to these Hall of Records? 

Metatron Response: That which is termed the three 'Atlantean Hall of Records', do still remain, and all are all subsurface. These 'Halls' are not physically in Arkansas nor Brazil, but may be more easily accessed mentally, visually in crystalline arenas, for the piezioelectrical aspects of the Crystal Vortex stimulates and opens the pineal, the 3rtd eye. Yet in both Arkansas and Brazil, there are intricate tunnel systems, connecting to hollowed chasms and caverns of the Atlantis & LeMuria eras networked below the ground at varying depths. Certain of these are remarkably preserved and are quite astonishing. In truth the evidence of Atlantis in Arkansas has been known by post-flood Native Americans for centuries, since the time of the early Mound Builders, who were migrants from the Atlantean antediluvian colonies in Yucatan and Poseida. Although the most famous of the remaining mounds is in Ohio (Serpent Mound), the Atlantean Red Race established communities throughout North America, in virtually every state of the lower 48, and in south-eastern & western Canada.   The Caves, specifically in Arkansas & Brazil, contain not only remnants but ongoing clusters and bases, which are quite active in the present, albeit the active sections are in hyperdimensional fields. As your Edgar Cayce noted, the Atlanteans developed technology that allowed for the creation of 'tubes, tunnels and elevators', in the subterranean portions of the upper & mid mantle.  

(Ref Edgar Cayce Readings # 2157-1 & # 1730-1) These tunnels & shafts are networked throughout much of subterranean portions of Arkansas, most of which are many kilometers beneath the surface.   

Question to Metatron: There have been numerous reports of people in Arkansas encountering beings in the cave systems of Arkansas, most report them as 'blue skin' humans, can you speak on this please? 

Response: The Cave systems within the Crystal Vortex of Arkansas contain many anomalous & mysterious aspects, and are indeed home to underground communities of what is termed 'Hollow Earth'. We will validate the veracity of communities beneath the lands of Arkansas. There have been instances in the past in which shamanic mystics of Native Americans have interfaced with them. In more recent times, residents of Arkansas have explored caves in the area, and also encountered the blue skinned race. But it must be clarified, that in the publisized, relatively  recent incidents, these beings were very briefly 'imaged', and not truly seen, not physically  encountered, in a 4th dimensional environ, somewhat in the same resonance of what may be termed as dream-scape astral dimension.  This was enabled in part, due to the piezoelectric minerology within the caverns, the tectonic energies of the New Madrid Fault, combined with magnetic fields within the caverns. These influences facilitate, activate what may be termed multidimensional vision, directly stimulating the piezo crystalline attributes of the pineal gland.  The related encounters with tall beings & blue skins beings in the caverns near Cushman, (Glass Cave), as reported, again, in more recent times by the spelunkers, occurred in the same vision-esque matrix. The visuals experienced by the explorers occurred in an altered state, a dreamlike high theta consciousness, induced minerologically & magnetically ... well beyond normal beta wave, above 3d. The explorer's accounts of the experience, were quite confusing to them, nebulous & distorted in memory, and also somewhat exaggerated & embellished over time. But indeed, the Blue-Beings are factually present, and the alternate parallel encounters did occur, and will occur more often in the new energy of the planet. We will add that uniquely in both Arkansas & Brazil, the massive crystals can and do externally project their consciousness in a rather novel 'faerie-esque' format. These appear in a myriad of projected forms, most commonly appearing as blue translucent 'orbs'. These also may occur as darting wisps of blue tinted photonics, piezo-luminescent mini  lightning bolts, similar in appearance to what is termed in Faerie-Devic mythology as 'Will of the Wisp'. 

The Blue Beings Now, to further clarify, the 'Blue' beings are different in both frequency and cycle from the extra-terrestrials that populate underground bases in portions of the Ouachita & Ozark Mountains. As we have shared previously, the Sirian-Pleiadian-Arcturian Alliance are highly involved in the upshift of the planet, and the ongoing shift into the crystalline energies of the 144 Grid. There is indeed a base of the SPA Alliance below the region of the Talimena Ridge in Arkansas. The benevolent Star-Beings do interact with the blue peoples, but are of a different frequency and nature. The extra terrestrials are light forms, photonic in nature. There are actually several factions of the subterranean 'blue' races globally. The primary two that habituate dimensional caverns beneath the mountains of Arkansas originated from Lumania & MU (LeMuria). Both   are spiritually advanced, but in separate physiologies and in different frequencial dimensional-cycles. The Lumanians are the beings encountered in imagery vision, in the caves near Cushman, termed as Blow Cave and Glass Cave. These are much taller than the blue people of LeMuria. The Lumanians are 7 to 8 feet in stature, are very thin, yet wiry. They are of a very ancient Sirian Star-Seed, and populated various portions of the planet in a very ancient, yet forgotten era, many millions of years before LeMuria & Mu.  Interestingly, they appear very similar to the blue-skinned people depicted in the movie 'Avatar', but without the pointed ears or tails. Their skin is quite smooth, and their facial features are narrow, almost feline in appearance, with almond ovalesque eyes.  They exist primarily as light beings and truly do not have a physical form, rather they project an image, in the rare circumstances they are encountered by humanity.  In their present roles, the remaining Lumanians are in essence serving as care-takers for the planet, working closely with the sentience of the conscious Earth, termed as Gaia. The LeMurians went underground many eons after the Lumanians, and exist in greater numbers. The skin tone of the LeMurians is more of a chameleon toning. The ones beneath the lands of North America, and specifically below Arkansas are more of a teal color, and they are much shorter in height. The ones that exist in other parts of the planet, such as Peru and Brazil, are more of a reddish or rusty bronze tonation. Color is determined more by the mineral content of the water they consume. There remains a much larger populace of the 'Hollow Earth' LeMurians in the inner realms of the planet now, in comparison to the Lumanians. Not all of the LeMurians went underground, many migrated into OG (Peru-Bolivia & Ecuador), and others into the surface regions of continental Atlantis. The antediluvian LeMurians were dwarf like, in appearance, quite hairy, and spawned the mythological 'middle earth' tales of hobbits. As they went deeper into the earth, the pore pressures of the more profound subterranean hollows influenced changes in their physiology, and over time their physical density lessened and their rather bushy hair no longer grew. When the LeMurians originally arrived on the earthplane, they were pseudo physical, primarily etheric thought forms or projections. They were able to 'push' their consciousness into both biological & botanical life forms.  They did not become purely physical until approximately 200,000 years ago. The LeMurians did indeed have interaction with the Atla-Ra, and assisted in the coding of crystals both in Arkansas and Brazil. At that time they populated both surface terrain and the subterranean. Although they are not of the Devic or Fae Kingdoms, which are also highly present among the crystals, they were often considered as dwarves, albeit the physical variety. Their height varied from 3 feet to 4 ½ feet in stature. They are sensitive & extremely passive in nature, and are as yet quite reluctant to have interface with humanity. These beings are purely telepathic in their communication, and are very aware of the aggressive aspects of humankind. However it should be noted, that these beings work closely with the Earth, and also with the benevolent beings of Star-Nation. They are highly compassionate, but are aware that time is not yet appropriate for intentional direct contact with humans. This will occur as humanity achieve a higher light quotient, and become more fluent & lucid in multidimensional awareness. In future channels we will share more of these beings. We will additional speak on the unique devic kingdom that is projected from conscious crystals. 

Closing  In closing we say again ....'As the frequency of the new earth continues to increase, so does the vibratory rate of the crystals. This is by purpose, by plan, for indeed the major crystal fields of the planet are playing major roles in the dissemination of the crystalline pattern. Indeed, the conscious mineral kingdom of the Earth is awakening to new levels of importance and influence.' It is in fact the 'Crystalline' regions of the Earth that are playing the most prominent role in the shifts and upgrades in dimensional frequency. And we assure you, logically, this benevolent influence & pineal stimulation is of great benefit for humanity. More and more of you are feeling the draw to visit crystalline energy fields, and indeed there is intuitive understanding & purpose of great significance in doing so. We assure you, Dear Human, that there is a divinely orchestrated & purposeful call within the crystalline members of the conscious mineral kingdom to increase the generation & flow of vital life force, of coded geo-energy that it receives from the crystalline core of the earth, and from the central sun. I am Metatron with Tyberonn of Crystalline Service. You are Dearly Beloved. Marvelous transitions are occurring, and you are on path. Keep your light shining! And so it is...And it is So...

Game 366: Abandoned Places: A Time for Heroes

Or A Tinne Fot Hetves if you go by a literal interpretation of the font.

        Abandoned Places: A Time for Heroes

Hungary

ArtGame (developer); International Computer Entertainment (publisher)

Released 1992 for Amiga and DOS

Date Started: 15 May 2020

          It’s nice to see a new country enter the CRPG fray. We’re going to have four games from this country in the early 1990s (including Abandoned Places and its sequel) and then nothing for a decade. It’s also nice to see a new take on a familiar template. I had a fun first session with Abandoned Places, and I’m looking forward to my next one. I just wish Ultima VII hadn’t gotten bungled, because this would be a near perfect game to trade time with that one. 

Abandoned Places is based heavily on Dungeon Master, right down to the framing story, which has a benevolent mage going to a crypt to resurrect former heroes rather than create characters from a living population. This was the least satisfying part of the game, as I was asked to choose two warriors from a selection of six and one mage and one cleric, each from a selection of three, based on nothing more than their character portraits. I was assisted in this endeavor by Saintus’s 1992 coverage of the game, in which he tried all possibilities and analyzed their strengths and weaknesses. I chose the fighters Lianon and Cromer, the cleric Felius, and the mage Pomphis. My primary concern was that I get a cleric with the “Create Food” spell because I hear that the party gets hungry fast in Abandoned Places.          

Assembling a party.

         The game manual has nothing on the backstory, so we have to rely on the opening animation. Information is scant. It is told from the perspective of a mage who awakens the deceased heroes.

             The ancient scrolls have led us to the location of the Heroes, the Champions of Kalynthia, turned into living stone, waiting for the time to once again fight evil. The council emissaries will travel across land and sea to the Temple of Heaven’s Fight. There, far below the surface, the Heroes are to be found, but our powers are waning and we only have the power to turn four of the heroes back to flesh and bone. No one can tell what the effects of 900 years as statues will have on them. But they are now our only hope to stop the cursed Bronakh. May luck be with us all.

        An unnamed mage restores life to some statues.

           The game begins as the four heroes wake up in their crypt with no equipment and a couple of gargoyle-looking things prowling the rooms. Fortunately, it’s sufficiently like Dungeon Master or Eye of the Beholder to figure it out in a hurry. You right-click on hands to attack, after which there’s a “cool down” period. Only the first two characters can attack in melee range, but the rear two can use missile weapons and cast spells, and the mage comes with a useful “Magic Bolt.”               

Almost immediately, the game thrusts you into combat.

         The interface is fairly intuitive. You left-click to move objects and right-click to use them. Everything is contained in one window. The developers sacrificed exploration window space to keep the inventory and character sheet always visible. You click on the character portraits to cycle through their inventories. The character with the active inventory and character sheet is different from the character with the active combat options; you change those by clicking the number buttons right next to them. Because of the nature of the interface, you really need a mouse so that you can drag items from the floor to the characters, operate switches, and so forth. But it does offer keyboard options for commands such as movement and–thank you!–attacking. You can also specify the direction of attack with the little pad beneath the character portrait, but I haven’t played with that yet.

     The gargoyles dropped a couple of keys, and the room was scattered with rocks and torches. One of the keys went to either of two doors at the south end of the room, both of which opened the way to the same area of a higher level.           

My map of most of the temple.

          The temple ended up being five levels, but with only three of them taking up any substantial space. The goal turned out to be finding the exit on the bottom level, which was the largest, taking up 16 x 29 coordinates, but using nowhere near that much space. (The game uses a “worm tunnel” approach, which automatically cuts out a lot of squares.) Standing in my way were things that looked like gargoyles, skeletons, and maybe fire elementals. They were all pretty easy to kill even though I never found any armor and the only weapons I found were minor ones: clubs, daggers, and one short sword.           

This thing looks like it ought to be harder than it was.

        I like the way the game allocates experience, which is by successful action rather than simply killing someone in combat. Fighters get experience for each hit. Spellcasters get experience for each spell successfully cast, including noncombat ones like “Create Food.” Nonetheless, by the end of the dungeon I did have a rather large experience imbalance in favor of the fighters. No one had reached Level 2 yet, though. I need to spend more time casting spells, since magic regenerates relatively quickly. As in Dungeon Master, a full spell point bar is just wasted potential experience.

Navigation puzzles were easy in the introductory dungeon, consisting of just a few keys, buttoned doors, and levers that opened new sections of hallway. Towards the end of the level, I had to avoid fire squares and water squares, although you can try to cross them quickly if you don’t mind a little damage. The only thing that bothered me was that I left four locked doors on the lower level for which I never found any keys. There was also a stairway on an upper floor that was blocked somehow. Maybe these were red herrings, or maybe we’ll be back to the temple later.            

A skeleton comes out of a buttoned door.

           There was a chest full of food on one level, but it barely did anything. If I didn’t have the “Create Food” spell, my characters would have been starving for three-quarters of the expedition. Starvation causes a periodic loss of 1 hit point. I also noted that the game told me the characters were “exhausted” quite early in my explorations and torches didn’t last very long. (By the way, to use a torch in this game, you have to hold a “firestone” in one hand and the torch in another and then right-click on the firestone. That took a while to figure out.) I suspect this all means that I have the cycles set too high in DOSBox. Discussion question: Is there ever a good excuse for a developer to base such considerations on CPU cycles rather than real-time or number of moves? It feels like authors in this era never considered the possibility of faster machines.         When we found the exit to the dungeon, I was surprised to find myself on a top-down overworld map. Well, not completely “surprised” because I’d read the manual, but still–this is an unusual addition to the Dungeon Master sub-genre. The rest of the game takes place over a reasonably large map with one large island and three small ones. The map is dotted with towns, castles, and ruins, and I assume most of them have some kind of dungeon to explore. (The overland map is similar enough to Legend from the UK that I wonder if the developers weren’t influenced by it.) I like the approach, as long as the dungeons are of modest size. If they’re each as large as the typical Dungeon Master clone, the game will wear it its welcome quite fast.           

Boarding the boat from the starting island.

           My first goal was getting off the southern island that houses the Temple of Heaven’s Fight. From atop the mountain, I could see a ship making daily trips from the large island to our small one, so we headed for that ship’s port of call. Along the way, the game said we found some horses. There’s a button that lets you switch between various modes of transportation. When we reached the boat, we switched to that, and it brought us to the “continent.”

I headed for the nearest city, which turned out to be a quiet little town called Frampton. It was home to a priest whose services I didn’t need. There were no other shops.                

The town was pretty, though.

            Lacking any guidance about where to go–Why didn’t the mage who awakened us stick around? Or at least leave a note?–I decided to work my way roughly counter-clockwise around the continent. A fortress in the middle of a lake with a long bridge leading to it looked promising. When I arrived, the game told me I was at Pedroc’s Abbey, but that it was closed.             

The overworld map has a lot of interesting-looking features. There just isn’t much to do when you get there.

             I continued moving over mountain and river until I came to a small town called Timberville, where “most of the villagers have some kind of weapon in their hands.” Timberville had another healer and a tavern, where we spent the 15 gold pieces found in the temple on a meal (2.0) and lodging (2.5). I’m not sure if either did anything for us, as I stopped getting messages about hunger and fatigue the moment I reached the outdoor map.

You occasionally have to fight wilderness combats, which take you to a small 3D map crossed with bushes and rivers. The only enemies I’ve had to face so far are giant bugs, which drop no gold. You can’t leave the fights until you’ve killed all the enemies, and it can be annoying to find them sometimes.           

Fighting a giant bug in the wilderness.

           I couldn’t even find the entrance to a castle (called “Twilight” on the map) across the lake from Timberville, and two villages further along the coast, Hyde and Trailcross, had the same options as Timberville. Something called the Tower of Scions was destroyed and offered nothing to do. Cities called Iron Home and Tol Al Nerak wanted 10 gold pieces to enter, which is all I had left. I saved and tried anyway, but both just had shops that had nothing I could afford.         

It’s nice to know such things exist. I’ll be richer someday.

       I ultimately spent the gold getting into Kal Kalon, the capital of the country, where I found a guild. The guild leveled up my first fighter and mage–fortunately, for free–and said I need a few hundred experience points more for the other two. I couldn’t take advantage of the other services and left.          

Not so much “bad luck” as “uneven distribution.”

        I finally found something to do at Souls Abbey in the southwest of the main island, nearly a full loop back to where I’d started. A monk told me he might have a job for us, but he’d need us to prove our skills first. He said his guards would take us to a “place full of monsters,” and that we would prove our worth by destroying all of them.          

Our first quest.

        We agreed, and soon found ourselves in a new, dark dungeon–the only problem being that we only have one torch left and it’s hard to see in the dark. Hopefully, we’ll find some more.           

Dropped off in my second dungeon.

        Aside from that hour where I was wandering around the land experiencing nothing, Abandoned Places has started relatively strong. To many players, Dungeon Master is perfectly satisfying on its own, but I’m rather glad to see a game that adds an overworld, an economy, and NPCs to the template. And while I always enjoyed Dungeon Master‘s approach to leveling through action, I’m glad to see it quantified (or perhaps I should say quantified in a way visible to the player) here. My major concerns are whether it will introduce more interesting puzzles than it has already, and whether the game world will open up a bit. It would be a waste of the overland map if you had to hit all the dungeons in a particular order.

Time so far: 4 hours
