Stealing some geese from the pond

This past Saturday (September 7), I taught one of my classes this page from a vocabulary book published in 2018:


I commented on how odd two of the example sentences are:

The man was reportedly sent to jail for stealing some geese from the pond.

I saw a kitty that got its head stuck tightly in a jar.

I mean who, assigned the task of creating sentences to demonstrate the meaning of the words jail and jar, would come up with anything like the above? Who thinks of jail as a place where we send people who steal geese from ponds, or of a jar as something a kitty might get its head stuck in?

A few days later, it's apparently a meme that Trump is going to save America's kittens and waterfowl from vibrants who are coming to steal and eat them. According to an article published on the satire site Snopes on September 9, just two days after I read and commented on the two sentences above, there is "No Evidence Haitian Immigrants Are Eating Ducks, Geese or Pets in Springfield, Ohio." These images are from the article:



Don't worry, that first photo is not evidence. It was taken in Columbus, Ohio, not Springfield, and you can't prove the guy is from Haiti or that he intends to eat that goose he's toting.

William,
Part 1
Springfield Ohio is about 40 miles from where I live
(interestingly another 40 sync! ) .

When I was working at Key Bank as a floating teller,
I often worked at the branches in Springfield.
My telepathic antique barn experience that I've
shared with you several times on your blog
happened about a mile or so outside of the city
of Springfield in Clark county.

As I've commented upon many times the quote by FDR---
"If something happens in politics, you can bet
that it was planned that way', absolutely IMO rings true.

Also this quote:
" The idea's most notable proponent is Oscar Wilde,
who opined in an 1889 essay that, "Life imitates Art far more than Art imitates Life"
~~~~
How does these two quotes connect?
Case in point: from the T.V. show The Simpsons
copy and paste ( link below)
"Much Apu About Nothing" is the twenty-third episode
of the seventh season of the American animated television series
The Simpsons. It originally aired on the Fox network
in the United States on May 5, 1996. In the episode, a referendum
is placed on the ballot that will require all*** illegal immigrants
in Springfield to be deported.

After learning that Apu will be deported if the measure passes,
Homer helps him prepare for a United States citizenship test
so that he can become a legal citizen."
~~~~~~~~
The Much Apu about Nothing episode aired on May 5 1996.
The character Apu is Indian. (see link)
Coincidence?

Also regarding the social media buzz about
the Haitian's eating the ducks ( which once again takes
us back to Water(female) energy )

A duck is a diver. Its head below water. Recall my many
comments about Man Overboard and the Fall of Humanity.
Do we really think that Springfield is not the spark
of a much much Bigger picture?


In May 2025 Americans will no longer be permitted
to fly (globally or domestically) without a biometric
ID called Real ID.
IMO, we're moving to a Social Credit Score which will be
a requirement for a Trusted Citizen so as to be
allowed to buy and sell and movement.

What's happening in Springfield Ohio
( on the 40 parallel north by the way)
has been planned for a VERY long time
to justify a Civil War.

We're shifting Ages Globally and especially
America soon to be The New Atlantis.

William
Part 2

I believe that in your Whale dream especially
concerning Washington DC, where you wrote:
"However, we were driving though rocky, mountainous
terrain quite unlike anything in that part of the country",
is right on point.

The rocky terrain, I believe is Denver Colorado on the 40
lat and the 104 meridian west which I believe
will be the capital of the New Atlantis.
Recall my many comments about the 104-meridian west.

Listen closely to the lyrics of Rocky Mountain High
especially this: I used asterisks(little stars) to make my point.

"He was born in the summer of his 27th year
****Comin' home to a place he'd never been before
****He left yesterday behind him,
you might say he was born again****
You might say he found a ***key for every door
~~~~~~~
Born Again?
Also this reference(below) to an eagle in the lyrics
Rocky Mountain High.
IRL an eagle, symbolic of America, does not stand erect
on its two legs. However a mythical Phoenix does.

Is America the Phoenix that rises from the ashes
( i.e. born again?? )

copy and paste:
"I've seen it rainin' fire in the sky
Though he'd be a ***poorer*** man if he never saw
an*** eagle fly
Rocky Mountain high."
~~~~~
Also in the Rocky Mountain High lyrics
note the word 'poorer' which phonetically
sounds similar to pour.
The pour'er of WATER is Aquarius.

We (Humanity) are shifting ages from the Age of Pisces
to the Age of Aquarius.

Also speaking of Wells(Whales) and Water
and Fire and Phoneixs
consider this; ( link below ) ( recall I commented
about Wells in your recent post )

copy and paste ( asterisks mine)
"According to legend, the phoenix resided in Arabia
near a sacred ***well.
Each morning, the phoenix bathed in the well’s water.
This captivated the attention of the Greek sun god*** Apollo,
who paused his chariot to listen to its enchanting song".
~~~~~
Recall my recent comment about Apollo and the Dolphin.

Connect the dots.

William,
I also wanted to add this thought provoking info about:
John Denver and country roads, West Virgina
(on the 40 parallel north ) The 2017 movie
The Kingsman: Golden Circle and POPPY! ( oh my!! )

The Kingsman movies (there were 2 ) storyline is about
an elite (Royal Society? ) organization in London who has
American ' cousins' called The Stateman
in Lexington Ky. ( which 'coincidently' is on the 40 parallel north).

The Kingsmen possessed the power of the Übermensch.
If you get a chance do check out The Kingsman, especially
the Golden Circle(trailer link below).

A whole lot of symbolism in those movies,
regarding transhumanism and technology,
and including a poppy connection.

I'm sure you are aware of the Remembrance Poppy
especially how it connects with the Royals. (see links)

In the trailer, note Eggys' ( the protagonist ) orange
jacket (and umbrella) . You posted a recent umbrella syncs,
yes?
Note also the Londen Eye (wheel symbolism) and
the Red Heifer. Recall my many comments about both.

Also the tailor shop which served as the Kingsman's
headquarters in London. Note the tailor shop's address
which is 11. A nod or perhaps a hidden clue
regarding who are the El's ?

And speaking of tailors interestingly Taylor Swift
has been in the media as of late, endorsing Kamala.

The red heifer can be found in this clip behind the nemesis
in the movie, Poppy.

The Simpsons is actually set in a fictional city called Springfield, isn't it?

WanderingGondola said...

On one hand, cats are notorious for getting into tricky/weird situations like that. Minor example: just yesterday, my own kitty somehow got a claw caught on the rim of the kitchen garbage bin. Didn't realise where the odd clanging noise came from at first -- there he was on his hind legs, one front paw up against the bin. I'm not sure how he managed it in the first place, since it's the kind of bin with a foot pedal to hold the lid up.

On the other hand, plenty of people took the Bonsai Kitten hoax seriously...

Re Simpsons, yep, though Matt Groening named the city after Springfield, Oregon, partly because it's such a common city name in the US. It's never been specified which state the Simpsons' Springfield is in.

WanderingGondola said...

Whoops, the above was me.

Ra1119bee said...

William,
IMHO, when we find the WHY, we find the truth.

The fact that the TV show ,The Simpson's, has
such an uncanny record for predicting the future begs
the question : How were the writers of The Simpson's privy
to the information that 'coincidently' came true?

IMO, the Why that answers that question is the quote from FDR---
"If something happens in Politics, you can bet it was planned that way".

And make no mistake about it, Everything is politics, including
the "Simpletons'.

If One person is on an island, and as soon as another person arrives,
you've got politics.

Sex, Power and Money are the only three things that runs
this world, in some way shape or form, IMO.

You think marriage or children aren't about politics?
Try getting a divorce, or in America try not giving your child, at birth,
a Social Security Number.
In both these scenarios, you'll find politics.

My point being that those who " KNOW' the future,
help shape it.

P. S.
In the Simpsons' isn't it interesting
that both Marge and Bart have elongated heads?
Lisa wears an EIGHT Point crown ( which is her hair, count the points).
And Homer ( Gomer) has a brown nose.

copy and paste: ( link below )
"Brown nosing" is an informal idiom that describes someone
who tries too hard to please someone,
especially someone in a position of authority,
in a way that other people find unpleasant.
It often involves excessive flattery or insincere behavior
with the aim of gaining personal advantage."
~~~~~~~
And last but not least : The Simpsons in Springfield
are all YELLOW.
Recall my many comments about the color Yellow.

Homer doesn't have a brown nose, tho.

Ra1119bee said...

William,
Correction : I stand corrected, Homer's actual nose isn't brown,
and the brown around his mouth and chin appears to represent
' an unshaven face due to laziness, a distinctive part
of Homer's character.

However, I don't think that Homer being portrayed as
a simpleton is a coincidence, especially since Homer
is the head (father) of the family.

Separate the head, the body dies.

Ra1119bee said...

William,
Yes, Homer does not have a brown nose, which I did write that
I stand corrected. However, I stand by my comment
about the writers of The Simpsons portraying Homer as a slothful
head of a family (indicated by Homer's ' five o'clock shadow) .
As stated, I don't think that's a coincidence as to WHY .

The Whys of the Father figure being portrayed as slothful
you ask?


Big picture : Take out the father ( the head )
and the family ( the body, community etc) dies,
which is exactly what happened in America
to Black people in 1962 when HUD mandated
that the father was not allowed to live with his family
in the Housing Projects.
The Housing Projects were an experiment.
Check out the documentary Pruitt Igoe ( see link )

And the BIGGER BIGGER picture of demonizing
the Father figure of the family?
Answer :to strengthen the Feminist Movement, which is exactly
WHY Obama was 'selected', oops I mean elected, two terms
as POTUS.

And the BIGGEST picture? To usher in the " Boss Babe"
mindset aka 'girl power'. Enter Kamala Harris.
Ever hear of the Fearless Girl Statue on Wall Street? ( see link )


And last but not least, I just found this interesting
video about Springfield and what caught my eye
immediately was the Welcome to Springfield
Sign . Stop the vid ( starting abt 0:35 marker ).
See the white with blue letters Welcome to Springfield sign?
See the Eight Point Star?

Perhaps that Eight Point Star
is telling us WHO ,WHAT and WHY.

When I saw that sign I immediately thought
(and what I've just commented about earlier) is this:
I bet Springfield is going to be ground zero
for a civil war in this country.
The women in this video hints of that as well.

The reason WHY Springfield Ohio?
Because Springfield Ohio
represents 'small town Americana', i.e. the Bible Belt, working class,
White , Family oriented America.
And there's the target.

IMO We're beginning to see ( especially Black people )
not only the ushering in of the Great Reset, but
also the ushering in of the Great Replacement.
Great Replacement you ask ?Why?
Answer: cheaper labor and willing to submit.

Everything is and always has been about Economics.
Sex, Power and Money.
