Good afternoon, Rogue-Nation!

I’ve recently started growing my own food. My journey began with some flower seeds for the yard, and I’ve had great success with growing flowers. Since I’d never attempted growing anything from seed before, I bought a small setup and began planting seeds in soil. As the flowers sprouted and thrived in the yard, I decided to expand and try growing some of my own produce.

I started with cucumber and bell pepper seeds. The cucumber plant is doing great—it sprouted yesterday and already looks like a strong, healthy plant. The bell peppers, however, are still in the early stages with only small sprouts visible.

I also purchased a tomato plant. I placed it in a larger container and decided to experiment with a raised garden, mainly because of the rabbits and other wildlife around here.

The tomato plant, which I named "Ludell" after my grandmother (who grew the best tomatoes), seemed to thrive in its first week. However, I noticed some yellowing of the lower leaves. I suspect I may have overwatered it. Additionally, I realized I hadn’t added enough fertilizer when I repotted it. After adding a little fertilizer, Ludell bounced back for a day or two. However, today the leaves have brown edges and yellow spots.

I’ve done some research online and found many suggestions, including using soil test kits. However, I’d prefer to learn through the experience and wisdom of others who have more hands-on knowledge.

If any of you seasoned gardeners can offer advice on how to care for a tomato plant like Ludell, I would greatly appreciate it. My hope is to grow some tomatoes that would make my granny proud.

Thank you in advance for your help!

A little meat to gnaw on. Our future, ladies and gentlemen. This quantum computer and AI combined will be what "unfolds" it all.

Journey with me as we explore the extraordinary convergence between cutting-edge quantum computing and ancient biblical wisdom. This investigation reveals how humanity's technological achievements may be opening doorways into spiritual dimensions described in scripture thousands of years ago.

Inside, I'm covering:

-How Google's 105-qubit Willow processor, China's Zuchongzhi 3.0, and Microsoft's Majorana 1 are pushing the boundaries of what's possible
-The profound significance of "Elohim" in Hebrew scripture and its connection to quantum physics
-Why leading scientists describe quantum computers as "altars to an alien god"
-The parallels between the quantum observer effect and biblical creation
-Elon Musk's warnings about "summoning the demon" and its spiritual implications

As quantum computing continues its exponential advancement, the veil between physical and spiritual realms grows thinner. Are we witnessing the fulfillment of ancient prophecies? Could these technological gateways be part of humanity's spiritual evolution?

"For we walk by faith, not by sight." - 2 Corinthians 5:7

Join me down a fascinating rabbit hole. ?️  
Science and spirituality might finally be converging to reveal profound truths about our universe, and our place within it.

Quote:"Sent home in tears": Rob Schmitt details the law and accountability finding its way to non-citizen agitators amid a new administration focused on detaining illegal criminals. "The hammer is being dropped on some of the worst creatures in our society."

It's been brought to my attention, via a post in the shoutbox by @EndtheMadnessNow  that the British government, in their infinite wisdom, are all set to ban "ninja" swords. This appears to me that they are following Ireland's wise lead, where ALL swords are banned - not just the "ninja" variety.

"Ninja" swords are very specific swords. technically, they are actually called "ninja-to". They have a straight, single edged blade, usually somewhat shorter than the classic curved-bladed samurai sword, or "katana". They have a somewhat larger handguard to facilitate their being used as a step for a boost-up in climbing, such as scaling walls, and generally have a cord attached to facilitate retrieval of the sword after such climbing feats, which cord can also double as a garrote in a fight.

They frequently have a hollow scabbard with a hole in the end where the chape would be in a regular sword so they can be used to breathe like a snorkel when the user is submerged under water when infiltrating an enemy stronghold.

so now we know what a "ninja" sword is -  basically a katana with a shorter, straighter single edged blade with other features useful in the clandestine art of ninjustsu.

Ninja swords, actual ninja swords, are incredibly rare when compared to, well, ANY other kind of sword. There just aren't that many ninjas around these days, and those who are have upgraded their basic kit to more modern implements.

That's why it mystifies me why the British government would single out such a specific and exclusive weapon for banning.

The announcement of the ban may be found here

When reading through the article, it became clear to me that the ban is not intended to increase anyone's safety so much as to just micro-manage what people are - and more pointedly, are NOT - allowed to own. It's just more people telling other people what and what not to own. many of the phrases included in the announcement are straight out of American gun-banner's mouths. All you have to do is swap the word "knife" or "ninja sword" for "gun", and you have the exact same phrases.

Some examples:

Quote:... protect the public from knife-related crime

Quote:There is already a penalty of up to 4 years in prison for carrying any weapon in public. 

Quote:From 1 August, anyone caught in possession of a ninja sword in private could face 6 months in prison, and this will later increase to 2 years under new measures in the Crime and Policing Bill.

Quote:Ahead of the ban coming into place, the government, in partnership with law enforcement and members of the Coalition to Tackle Knife Crime, will run its most ambitious surrender scheme yet. The scheme will run across the country, targeting young people most vulnerable to knife crime. 

Quote:Knife crime is destroying young lives

Quote:Today we are introducing the final part of Ronan’s law in his memory – banning the ninja swords that his killers should never have been able to use.

Quote:... our mission to halve knife crime over the next decade.

Quote:Pooja Kanda said:

Today marks a very important day for us as a family and our campaign. Since losing our beautiful boy Ronan, we have relentlessly campaigned for a ban on ninja swords – the lethal weapon which took his life. We believe ninja swords have no place in our society other than to seriously harm and kill.

We are so grateful to our government for hearing us and for recognising how important and urgent it is to get these dangerous weapons off our streets. Each step towards tackling knife crime is a step towards getting justice for our boy Ronan.

Quote:Patrick Green, CEO, Ben Kinsella Trust said:

The Ben Kinsella Trust welcomes the government’s decision to ban ninja swords and implement Ronan’s Law. These weapons, with no practical purpose beyond violence, are simply instruments of war and have absolutely no place in our society or on our streets. The ease with which such dangerous items have been available has contributed to far too many tragedies.

The additional measures under Ronan’s Law, designed to hold those who sell these weapons to account, are critical in breaking the supply chain that fuels this violence. We commend the government for listening to victims’ families, and for taking decisive action.

Quote:Sandra Campbell, Chief Executive Officer, Word 4 Weapons said:

Word 4 Weapons stands firmly behind the introduction of Ronan’s Law. Ronan’s tragic death at the hands of a ninja sword highlights the urgent need to tighten legislation around dangerous weapons, online and otherwise. This law is a crucial step toward reducing violence and protecting lives in our communities.

Quote:... significant fines for executives who fail to remove knife crime content for their platform.

A fun read.  Things to note:

Down in the article, Joseph McMoneagle casts doubt on any remote viewing exercise directed at an object the existence of which is undetermined ...

Something I would throw in is, this RV attempt took place in 1988.  Thus, the imagery described was very possibly influenced by the 1981 film, "Raiders of the Lost Ark".

Beyond all that, I question why the CIA would even conduct such an RV exercise.  What may explain that is the CIA saw these kind of "investigations" as useful fodder for seeing how much they could influence public opinion on any given topic (re: psychological operations).  I would guess they knew these documents would be declassified at some point, at which time it would truly be "game on" in terms of seeing how many people uncritically accepted the contents of the document.

As Farrell signs off, "see you on the flip side" ...

The article provided discusses a discovery by archaeologists using advanced radar technology that suggests there may be a vast underground city beneath the Giza Pyramids. This subterranean structure is purported to stretch over 2,100 feet beneath the pyramids, with cylindrical formations and additional structures deeper underground. While some researchers have expressed skepticism regarding the feasibility of such a discovery, it has sparked intrigue in both archaeological and conspiracy circles.

This actually does align with certain conspiracy theories, particularly those suggesting that the pyramids were not just tombs but have far more profound, hidden purposes. Some theorists believe the pyramids could be a giant spiritual antenna, designed to connect humanity to cosmic or extraterrestrial forces. These theories often point to the precision of the pyramids' construction, their alignment with celestial bodies, and their scale as evidence that ancient civilizations had access to knowledge far beyond what we typically attribute to them. The idea that there could be hidden chambers or a vast underground city further fuels the notion that the pyramids may harbor ancient secrets, potentially functioning as spiritual or technological conduits to realms beyond Earth. These findings, if verified, would add another layer of mystery, potentially validating these alternative interpretations of Egypt’s ancient monuments.

https://www.thegatewaypundit.com/202[/color]

Researchers from Italy and Scotland used advanced radar technology to produce detailed images from deep below the surface, revealing possible hidden structures 10 times the size of the pyramids themselves.
The report highlights eight distinct vertical, cylinder-shaped formations stretching over 2,100 feet beneath the pyramids, along with a series of additional unidentified structures located another 4,000 feet further down.

This is a very serious discussion about the state of aviation and the airline industry. I agree with the female Captain thoughts and experiences dealing with airline pilots DEI etc etc.

This is a whopper-doozy of an intriguing article...

UPDATE 24MAR25: As if on cue, more revelations about the deep, deep fraud that is the NGO circuit actually running the world, and if you’re American, you’ve been paying for almost all of it. Stick with Radio Far Side and be ahead of the news.

OK, I think I’ve figured at least part of the global hide-the-sausage game we are all unwillingly or unwittingly playing.

Care to take a little trip to Low-Earth Orbit (LEO)? For this trip, I’ve adjusted the orbit to give us a bit higher apogee, so we can appreciate a little more of the Big Picture than usual.

As long-time readers know, a great part of my time is spent writing and editing high-level documents for NGOs and QGOs (quasi-governmental organisations). While the BRICS are trying to create a global trading currency based on a basket of national currencies, the Bumbledicks are trying to create a global currency based on electricity. Hear me out.

As best as I can piece all this together, the world has been operating with something called the PetroDollar (PD) since roughly the Nixon administration. While the US controls the PD, it is not the Federal Reserve Note (FRN), much less the Constitutional dollar most of us think of when we hear the word “dollar”.

The word "dollar" originates from the German word "Thaler," short for Joachimsthaler, which referred to silver coins minted in Joachimsthal (now in the Czech Republic) in the early 16th century. The term "Thaler" was widely used for large silver coins across Europe and evolved into various forms in different languages.

We are generations removed from that concept.

What seems to be going on is that NGOs will replace national and regional governments. These entities will act as local legislative, judicial and executive branches of a global UberCorp. Nation-states will vanish, with NGOs playing cops, judges, enforcers (executive), and legislators. They will take orders directly from UberCorp.

Keep in mind, this is “their” apparent concept. I’m just amalgamating what I read (and edit). Whatever UberCorp is, it is centered in the EU, and the EU is trying to create other EUs all over the planet.

If you’re wondering why the EU is in such a huff over Trumpism, this is why.

The global currency will be a kind of cryptocurrency based on generation, storage and use of electricity. The PetroDollar was based on petroleum, obviously, but the new currency is based on any fuel or device used to generate, transport, transform, or consume electricity. Hydrocarbons will only be a small part of this mix.

Carbon, the most ubiquitous element on the planet, will form the “small change” part of the new currency. Let’s call it Globobux for convenience, signified by REC. The flow of money, called “velocity” in our current markets, will be measures by electrons, or “physical electricity”. Capturing, storing and trading carbon will be the new Fort Knox to back Globobux.

Why RECs, I hear you ask. Good question. Gold star for you.

A REC (Renewable Energy Certificate) is a market-based instrument that represents proof that one megawatt-hour (MWh) of electricity was generated from a renewable energy source and fed into the power grid. Keep in mind that petroleum is a renewable resource created by electro-chemical processes — whether in the ground or in the lab.

It is essentially the “proof of work” (PoW) we discussed a week ago in “A Blockhead on Blockchain”. In other words, a REC is defined by the date the electrons entered the grid, plus data about the way those electrons were “created,” plus the time, place, fuel, and generator that created them. Sound familiar? Add SHA-256 encryption using a nonce and you have a block on the blockchain, very similar to Bitcoin.

The entire Climate Change/Global Warming/Energy Transition farce is all fabricated in order to: 1) create the REC system, 2) get you and me to buy into it, and 3) terrorize us with doomsday climate narradigms so we don’t back out.

The world has been divided into Regions (continents basically). The Regions are divided into Trade Zones (EU, NA, ECOWAS, ASEAN, MERCOSUR, etc.). The NGOs will eventually replace national governments. I don’t yet know what name these entities will have, but Local Issuers will become county/city/precinct subdivisions.

Essentially, I’m looking at a national government, replaced by corporate entities, with a global overlord running the show.

At the moment, the primary focus is on creating Global Standards (ISO, WTO, WHO, IFRS and the like), which are being “harmonized” at the Trade Zone level as we sit here.

The way is works is the global standards organizations create the rules, the QGOs generate synthesis at the regional level, and the NGOs install and operate the local functions.

The NGOs are the foot soldiers running around bribing and cajoling individual de jure governments to pass implementing legislation and regulations, so that all the pieces snap together like a giant puzzle.

This is not a “conspiracy theory”. I’m reading and editing the policy papers, and watching the organizations at work. There’s a huge amount of detail behind all this, and I encourage the dear reader to select any term I’ve used here and do a little research. The only thing I am adding to it is my guess as to how it all fits together.

The Big Question is, what is UberCorp. There is obviously “something” planning and directing all this, but what it is is anyone’s guess at the moment. BlackRock, Vanguard and their cousins are at the Vice President level, but they aren’t the UberCorp.

Larry Fink is clever, but he’s not that smart. The term “idiot savant” comes to mind.

I spend a couple of pages in my book discussing all the academic theory, philosophy and reasoning behind the need for a global government, but I have yet to find a suitable candidate for it.

We are looking at a maelstrom of power and wealth flowing into a central vortex, but its exact nature and location are obscured by sea spray, rain, and clouds. It’s by design, of course. It doesn’t want to be seen until it’s too late to change course.

If you want to see the new economy coming online, look up RECs, TIGRs, RE markets, and the various mechanisms for monetizing and controlling the most basic forces in the Universe. Most of the news cycle is designed to keep you from doing exactly this, so it’s a radical act to educate yourself.
Let’s try to summarize the existing system in “their” own words:

Quote:“Voluntary international MRV frameworks like GHGP, RE100, and SBTi, are the most adopted systems for corporate electricity buyers. In addition, the market is currently witnessing the emergence of a new paradigm of regional and international compliance MRV systems that may use RECs and similar market-based instruments to substantiate compliance-level clean electricity claims. Notable examples include the EU’s CBAM, and the International Sustainability Standards Board (ISSB)’s International Financial Reporting Standards 1 and 2 (IFRS S1 and IFRS S2).”

Essentially, there’s a verification hierarchy, driven by the EU, in which units of energy in the form of electricity can be traced with precision back to the point and fuel of origin. In other words, a blockchain on which an energy-based currency can be traded and taxed.

Quote:“These systems respectively focus on addressing emissions associated with the trade of physical goods, as well as corporate disclosure of environmental performance.”

Here we see carbon, the most plentiful element on the planet and basis for all life, being monetized as the foundation for a currency. This functions in much the same way as the ancient “gold standard”.

Finally, we see this:

Quote:“Each EAC [Ed. - Energy Attribute Certificate] must have a unique tracking number and should only reside in one account at a time to prevent double counting. Clear procedures should be established to resolve disputes over the validity and enforceability of claims, particularly in complex markets with multiple instruments.”

This essentially defines every bank note and cryptocoin in use. Thus, we are seeing the creation of an energy-based currency using blockchain technology intended minimally for cross-border transactions. The second sentence is just another way of saying “all debts public and private” and “full faith and credit”. It’s judicial authority to enforce contracts, which is a governmental function vested here in a private entity.

Note that I withheld the citation because the work is not yet published. However, the information can be found from multiple public sources. Every link is to a primary “legitimate” source. No tin-foil hats and wild-eyed ravings. The real thing.

As we’ve noted before, “they” are building the pyramid from the top down. There is a clear effort to rearrange the world into economic, rather than political entities. The UN forms the legislative branch, the QGOs and NGOs are the executive branch, and a gaggle of corporate entities known for now as trade zones form the judicial branch.

Money, once based on the element gold, then on hydrocarbons, and now on electrons, is being recreated as we speak. Sections of the world are already trading the RECs, and more are coming online.

The social credit system, the neo-economic system being forced down our throats, is being installed at the corporate level. We commonly refer to it as the ESG/DEI system.

Since humas have resisted this system, it is being installed in our “jobs”. Since we rely on “jobs” for revenue, and the “jobs” are almost all from corporate entities, the social credit system is simply installed at the level where most of us maintain survival.

If you want to eat, buy clothes, pay for shelter, have transportation, then you will comply with “job” requirements. If you don’t comply, you are let go and eventually become unhireable. If you can’t get a “job,” then you become reliant on government “safety nets,” where you once again face compliance issues to maintain welfare, health care, unemployment benefits, and/or retirement income.

If you can no longer buy food, pay for shelter, or get clothes without using e-funds, then eventually you will comply or be forced to live in the literal wilderness. If the only e-funds available to use for all your needs are based on gold, or oil, or carbon and electrons, then that is what you will use, or get used to fighting raccoons for nuts and berries.

In summary, the social credit/compliance system is being installed from the top down. We are being surrounded by it and eventually the switch will be thrown and no other system will exist. This is not a “conspiracy theory”. Once you know what to look for, it’s everywhere.

Once upon a time, salt and square nails were forms of currency, based on scarcity and need as a preservative for food, or fastener for construction. Those days have come and gone, replaced by other things. The one constant is that everyone uses a currency, or they starve in the cold, dark wilderness.

Today, the one thing everyone needs is electricity, and as long as “they” control the generation and transmission of it, “they” can make us dance on their strings.

Doulas Adams wrote about a civilization who used leaves for money, but there were so may leaves that inflation soon reared its ugly head. Their solution? Burn all the trees.

Today’s cultural enrichment is selected both for its relevance, and because most folks here probably haven’t see it. The film is called The Platform (2019), a Spanish film about economic disparity and social capitulation. I think you’ll like this one. It’s got a “Cube” vibe to it.

Wow, imagine that! 

Quote:This may come as a shock, but it turns out that an astounding proportion of AI search results are flat-out incorrect, according to a new study published by the Columbia Journalism Review. We hope you were sitting down.

Conducted by researchers at the Tow Center for Digital Journalism, the analysis probed eight AI models including OpenAI's ChatGPT search and Google's Gemini, finding that overall, they gave an incorrect answer to more than 60 percent of queries. 

It should tell you something that the most accurate model to emerge from these tests, Perplexity from Perplexity AI, still answered 37 percent of its questions incorrectly. The village idiot award, meanwhile, goes to Elon Musk's chatbot Grok 3, which was wrong a staggering 94 percent of the time. Impressively bad.

"While traditional search engines typically operate as an intermediary, guiding users to news websites and other quality content, generative search tools parse and repackage information themselves, cutting off traffic flow to original sources," the authors warned. "These chatbots' conversational outputs often obfuscate serious underlying issues with information quality."

By now, of course, the proclivity of large language models to lie or wrongly report information is well documented. But that hasn't stopped tech companies from trying to supplant the traditional web search, with some releasing versions of their existing chatbots tailor-made to do just that, like ChatGPT search. Google has even debuted an "AI Mode" that only shows Gemini summaries instead of web links.

This latest study quantifies why this might be a bad idea. It was conducted by choosing ten random articles each from a pool of twenty publications, ranging from The Wall Street Journal to TechCrunch. In what should've been a softball, the chatbots were asked to identify an article's headline, its publisher, its publication date, and its URL. To make things even easier, the researchers made sure to only choose article excerpts that returned the original source within the first three results of an old-fashioned Google search.

In addition to showing the AI models were wrong over half the time, these tests exposed other idiot tendencies. A classic one? Passing off their dubious wisdom "with alarming confidence," by either not qualifying their responses or failing to decline questions they didn't know the answer to. 

This lines up with other research documenting how AI models would rather hallucinate — or make up — answers instead of admitting they're out of their depth. Maybe that's because a policy of honesty would betray just how useless the AI models can be; Microsoft's Copilot, for example, declined more questions than it answered, the researchers said.

The AI search tools were also terrible at citing their sources. ChatGPT Search linked to the wrong source article nearly 40 percent of the time, and straight up didn't bother to provide one in another 21 percent of cases. That's bad from a fact-checking point of view, and just as grim for publishers, who will be denied even the chance of getting traffic from an AI model that's scraped their content. Bodes well for the survival of our online media economy, doesn't it?
