All right, so today I'm hanging out with Lior. [00:01:37] Jason: How do you say your last name? Abramovich?  [00:01:42] Jason: Abramovich.  [00:01:43] Jason: Abramovich. Man. I butchered that one. All right. So with Blanket, he's repping it on a t-shirt, if you're seeing the video version of this. And so, Lior, we've had several calls, hanging out and you're just a really cool guy and we've really enjoyed hanging out. [00:02:01] Jason: Yeah. We've really enjoyed hanging out. He's given me a heart shape with his hand for those listening. But I haven't had you on the podcast yet, have I?  [00:02:09] Lior: True. This is the first time.  [00:02:11] Jason: Yeah. That's so odd to me. Usually people start by doing the podcast with me and so we're doing the reverse. [00:02:17] Jason: And you're a sponsor at DoorGrow Live, our conference coming up. Thank you. And we're really excited to have you there. One of our vendors said it's the only conference he still attends now. That's it. He's like, "it's the one I get the most value from learning, and the other ones just aren't worth the, you know, paying to go be a vendor there." [00:02:36] Jason: And I'm like, okay, cool. So hopefully you get some benefit from doing that as well. So I'm excited Lior to expose people to Blanket because I think it's very complimentary to our vision and what we do at DoorGrow in helping grow property managers. And I would call it like a client retention platform, but maybe you describe it differently. [00:02:57] Jason: But before we get into that, why don't we give some background on you and why don't you tell everybody how you kind of got into entrepreneurism, then got into property management and give us some backstory. We need the origin story of Lior.  [00:03:11] Lior: Will do. I'll try to make it exciting and interesting. [00:03:13] Jason: Okay.  [00:03:14] Lior: I started from real estate. I didn't start from the tech side or from, you know, the startup world. I started as an investor. I bought my first rental property in Atlanta, Georgia when I was about 18 years old. So started quite early with a lot of inspiration from my mom, which is my role model in life for pretty much everything. [00:03:33] Lior: And at that point in time, I actually was doing that investment from Israel, thousands of miles away. This is where I was born and raised. I actually moved here to the States just about a year, yeah, exactly a year ago. Moved to Miami, Florida. After just, you know, living on the line, flying back and forth almost every month for multiple years, but in that first stage of like my, you know, real estate, I would say career, at that point I also started my active duty service in the Israeli Navy. [00:04:05] Lior: So I'm a graduate of the Israeli Naval Academy, then served for almost nine years as a naval commander commanding hundreds of soldiers, officers, and combat soldiers in quite intense and interesting situations I would say. That's a whole topic that we can talk about for hours in another podcast. [00:04:25] Lior: Yeah. Episode.  [00:04:26] Jason: Interesting. I didn't know that about you.  [00:04:28] Lior: Yeah. That was quite an intense nine years and definitely shaped me as a person and as an entrepreneur as well. Most of what I know, most of what I do, most of what I act upon is pretty much majority, you know, of what I learned and implemented in myself as a person in my qualities, in my values, in my worldviews through that time in the Navy. [00:04:52] Lior: And, you know, before that, before like that step of buying that first rental property, it's not like it came from out of nowhere. You know, probably I started as most of our listeners today by reading the book Rich Dad, Poor Dad by Robert Kiyosaki when I was about 13 years old. Again, my mom gave me that as a birthday gift at 13 years old. [00:05:14] Lior: And to me it was fascinating, this whole concept that you can, you know, like make money from like a property that you actually took money from the bank to pay for it, and it pays for itself and it makes some extra money. So this whole like very, you know, conceptualized plan was very interesting to me. [00:05:35] Lior: And I said like, this is something I would like to do at some capacity in my life. Especially because the fact that I was born for a family of immigrants, my entire family came from Ukraine to Israel. So we didn't have, you know, very good financial you know, let's say position in life as most immigrants do. [00:05:54] Lior: And my grandparents don't have, you know, today also a pension plan that, or that's how we call it in Israel. And here we call it 401k. So they don't have that. And to me, real estate was always a way to take care of my loved ones, to take care of my grandparents, to be able to at least give them one rental property that can enable them stable, and I would say secure financial retirement, and just really retire with dignity, retire safely. And that was like the big why behind everything I'm doing. So. Quick, you know, fast forward nine years in the Navy, kept doing real estate throughout that time. Helped a lot of my fellow naval officers to buy properties in the United States. [00:06:38] Lior: Okay. And then started working for a big investment firm in the United States that was doing build to rent before build to rent was a thing. You know, today, you know, people are talking about build to rent is with this cool name, but back then we just called it new construction you know, for investors. [00:06:52] Lior: So we were one of the largest operators in the Southeast. We were one of the largest operators, specifically in Georgia and Alabama. And I started there as their head of acquisitions quickly promoted to vice president of business development, overseeing our entire operation from due diligence, meaning land acquisition development, and then, you know, disposition and sales and marketing. [00:07:14] Lior: So, really had the opportunity to experience every part of the value chain of real estate investments from start to finish, seeing all the good, seeing all the bad, I had, you know, contractors that went bankrupt in the middle of a 300 property community. And I had very good stories as well. But that whole period of time of me working there for almost three years was the best school I ever got to really, you know, operate as an operator and manage an operation of hundreds of millions of dollars because in that time alone, I personally oversaw about $200 million worth of acquisitions and worked directly with over a thousand individual investors, mainly mom and pop investors, like most of you know, the clients of most of our listeners today. And the unique thing about it, and this is where Blanket sort of like starts to form up as an idea, the unique thing about my position in that company was that it had a very interesting model where. [00:08:16] Lior: All the clients that we sold properties to, which were clients, by the way, all over the world. We worked with buyers from Israel, Canada, Russia, China, Australia, like everywhere. You know, that was one of our, you know, major, I would say efficiencies, which we were working with a lot of foreign investors and we are one of the biggest drivers of that. [00:08:38] Lior: So we've seen pretty much everything in every one of those clients that we actually sell the property to we kept managing the relationship with them instead of the property manager. So think of that company as like an investor relations arm, right? Where you refer that client after we sell a property to a property manager partner that we worked with and we worked with a lot of folks and then that property manager is not talking with that owner. [00:09:05] Lior: No headaches, no nothing. We are managing that owner. So every time the owner has a question, he sends that to us and if we need, we escalate that to the property manager. If the property manager wants to convey something, he escalates that. So like he gives it to us and we pass it on to the owner. But the whole notion was that we will be their asset manager and this whole thing enabled me to see all the things that work and all the things that don't work when it comes to owner relationships and how property managers manage their owner relationships, especially with the things that are missing, which is what owners expect and what property managers don't provide, which leads in many cases to churn. [00:09:48] Lior: And that churn problem that today is pretty much the same as it has been 10 years ago, which is almost 25 to 30% annually. That's the average in the industry today in terms of how many properties we're losing today as property managers. So in that aspect, like you think to yourself, okay, what's causing that? [00:10:09] Lior: And that was the question that always led me to ask all my property management partners. Why are you losing so many clients? Like, we know we're doing an awesome job as your asset manager and you know, but like why is this a big problem in your business today? Yeah, and a lot of it was always due to owner sales or to owner experience, which we were solving a lot for because we were taking care of those owners. [00:10:33] Lior: So every time they wanted to sell a property, they told us and we were able to sell it inside the other, you know, the network of property owners and clients. And also when they... [00:10:43] Jason: if somebody wanted to sell property that was a client, you would be able to turn around and sell to one of your other clients so that you continued to keep the property, which is exactly awesome, which is a no brainer. [00:10:55] Jason: And I'm sure a lot of property managers like say that would be the ideal. That'd be great if I can do the sales, get those commissions, and still be able to keep the property in my portfolio. That would be really great. Exactly. Blanket helps do this, right?  [00:11:11] Lior: Yeah. We'll get to Blanket in a second.  [00:11:13] Jason: I have a question before we continue. You mentioned being in the military and being in the Navy and being Navy commander. I didn't know this about you. So what do you feel like that did to change you? How do you feel like you would be different if you hadn't have gone through that?  [00:11:30] Lior: It will be pretty much everything that I know and everything that I do. [00:11:33] Lior: But if I were to pick a few, I would say main things that were changed in how I view the world and how I operate, number one is being more rational than emotional, pretty much about everything. My mom even jokes all the time. She says, I'm like a robot, like you know, I'm not driven by emotions at all. [00:11:54] Lior: And that is one of the things that you have to sort of develop yourself into, when you're dealing with life threatening, you know, situations, you have to be rational. You have to be very robotic, very technical, and that is one of the most important skills that really allows me to face difficult, you know, decisions in life, especially in business, without taking them personally. [00:12:16] Lior: And, you know, it's business.  [00:12:17] Jason: I love, I love that idea. One of my favorite books lately is this book by a guy named Jerr, this philosopher, and it's called, The Wall Speaks and it's all about building a masculine frame. And it's being less emotional, displaying less emotion, and how that earns you respect and how that makes people around you, especially women, feel safer and everything else. [00:12:40] Jason: And this is something that just, if you are in very challenging situations. Like war, you know, military, whatever, like you learn this naturally. It's just, it hardwires it into you and. Yeah, exactly. Over emotionality is going to make a lot more sense. It's much more rational. So yeah, I think that's a great principle. [00:13:03] Lior: I would say even more than that, because probably, you know. The first thing that comes to mind when you hear that is like, oh, I don't want to be, you know, a cold person or a very, you know, apethetic person, like someone who doesn't, you know, acknowledge other people's feelings, et cetera. Sure. I say on the contrary, when you are very rational and you're not clouded by emotions, you are emotionally available to express emotion, to express care, to express, you know, concern about the other person in front of you, because you're not all centered in what you are feeling right now because something is, you know, bothering you and you're like all into that. [00:13:42] Lior: Instead, you are able to look at the other person in front of you and think how they're feeling. Think what, you know, what can help them feel better. So like when you are rational and you're not driven by emotions, that actually allows you to be a lot more, you know, empathetic and kind and caring. [00:14:00] Lior: Because you're not centered on what you're feeling and what you're experiencing, then you can really be thinking about the other person.  [00:14:07] Jason: Yeah. I love that. I think in order to reach that space, like it talks about in the wall speaks, we have to get out of this mode of trying to please everybody and trying to please others. [00:14:17] Jason: And so when we're so concerned about how everyone feels about us and we're too concerned about emotion, then we're trying to please everybody. So I love this idea this first point of rationale over emotion. This is super important in business. [00:14:31] Jason: And I love the idea that it actually enables you to be a better leader, to be able to take in and take into account other people's emotions and to see things from their perspective, because that's a more rational viewpoint than getting overly, you know, steeped in your own emotion and which blinds you to what others are feeling and what others are experiencing. [00:14:53] Jason: So you said that's number one. So I'm guessing there's a number two.  [00:14:55] Lior: There are, there are a lot. There are a lot more, but we'll keep to the I would say to the big ones. Yeah. The second thing is this very strong belief. I would say almost religious belief that there are no failures in life. [00:15:12] Lior: There are only challenges, and every challenge is an opportunity for success. Love it. That whole perspective. Well, it takes time to really live by it, but once you live by it, you don't have stress, you don't have, you don't worry about stuff. On the contrary you're getting excited about things that don't work. [00:15:33] Lior: You're getting excited about, you know, things that you would normally call failures because you're excited about what's on the other end of that. What's the lesson to be learned and what's the improvement that you're going to bring? So instead of. Being concerned about this thing right now, that it's not working. [00:15:50] Lior: You are excited, positively about what is going to happen after that because it's going to make you better. It's going to make your business better. So like this whole notion of understanding that at the end of every problem, challenge, failure, that some people might call, on the other side of that, there's always a good side. [00:16:13] Lior: Like think of it as like a coin, right? Like that's how I try to see, you know, failures in life. On one side you see the failure, you know, as some people would call it. But on the other side is the lesson, and every failure has that lesson. So why be so focused on the failure if you can be focused on the lesson that you're going to learn, even before you even know it? But you know there will be something there. You know you will be better. You know your business will be better. So let's get excited about that.  [00:16:40] Jason: Yeah, I love this idea so much. I often say I either win or I learn.  [00:16:46] Lior: Exactly.  [00:16:47] Jason: There's the only way you lose is if you quit or you give up. That's it. Like, so I either win or I learn. And I love this idea that, you know, after every struggle or failure or uncomfortable emotional experience or challenging, you know, thing in life, if we don't learn from it, then yeah, it's just trauma. It's just a problem. But if you learn from it, it becomes the bricks by which you build your character, by which you build a whole new life and a whole new self image. And if you learn from it, you're destined to not repeat it as well, which is nice. So you learn the lesson. Exactly. [00:17:23] Jason: And I think, you know, God and the universe keeps giving us the same lessons over and over again, maybe in stronger and stronger fashion until we finally learn the lesson. And I think going along with these two points, which relates heavily is being open and willing to take feedback from others, you know? [00:17:42] Jason: And so one of the things that I've, realized is that feedback a lot of people think is painful, and it can be really uncomfortable, but I've noticed that when I go to my mentors and I'm open and vulnerable to getting feedback. Sometimes, you know, it can cut pretty deeply, but it's good medicine and that's where I have the most growth and learning. [00:18:00] Jason: And so I've learned to actually love and enjoy the discomfort of feedback. And so I seek it now. Then I collapsing time on my learning. Yeah, and I'm experiencing the discomfort in that and, but I know that there's benefits to that because now I can see something that I was blind to or I'm experiencing something that I didn't realize. The reason I hire these mentors is because they're at a vantage point in some sort of area that they're ahead of me. And so being willing to get feedback takes somebody that's willing to be really rational and it takes somebody that's willing to see that there's no failure. You are not bad, sick, and wrong because somebody pointed out something that you're doing that's bad, sick, and wrong. Like that means now you have an opportunity to change or improve, which is good news. [00:18:43] Jason: It's like the best news ever. Yeah. Love this  [00:18:46] Lior: 100%.  [00:18:47] Jason: That's why we get along, Lior. You and I have just been through enough shit to learn some lessons, so. Hell yeah. So cool. Do you have a third one for us?  [00:18:55] Lior: Yeah, let's do a quick one. Leading by example. Okay. Is number one. And I'll actually give a quick story here just to explain how powerful that is. [00:19:06] Lior: And I think that's also really important for, you know, all of our listeners for property managers. Because in my first assignment in the Navy as a commander, I was assigned as a chief engineer, meaning I was in charge of the mechanics department. These are all the folks that are working the hardest. Like, think of them as like your maintenance, you know, contractors. [00:19:26] Lior: These are the folks who are going in fixing plumbing, fixing AC systems and like heating systems, like getting really dirty, you know, and like crawling underneath engines filled with like gasoline and stuff. It's like the hardest job in, you're doing the worst,  [00:19:44] Jason: worst job. It's like Mike Rowe's show Dirty Jobs. [00:19:48] Lior: Yeah. I don't want to be too explicit and vivid. But you're dealing with like pipes of like things that you know Sure. We use for other things stuff and who knows.  [00:19:56] Jason: Yeah. Okay.  [00:19:57] Lior: Exactly. It's bad. It's bad. Yeah. So anyways, so on when I was first assigned as the chief engineer, so the chief engineer in the ship is like the second to the commander. [00:20:07] Lior: Like if the, something happens to the commander of the ship. I'm taking command. So, you know, you have your respect and your sort of like, honor just with the title, you know? Yeah. It comes with it and you can walk around like, you know, like a peacock. Very proud of yourself and, you know, I'm like, I'm the boss. [00:20:25] Lior: I'm the big man or whatever.  [00:20:27] Jason: Yeah.  [00:20:27] Lior: Or you can do some other things. And for example, what I did on the first day of me getting, you know, onboard the ship and, you know, getting the role and getting command of the ship. So the first thing that I did was like every day we have like an hour at the end of the day that we're cleaning the entire ship. [00:20:46] Lior: And part of cleaning the ship is also for the mechanics department. Is getting below the engines that run the ship and cleaning all the oil residue that builds up there. So you have to literally, you know, take a lot of like cloths and sheets and just like, dive into the oil and just push it out. [00:21:04] Lior: Wow. So like you get out black, like completely black. And normally the ones who are doing it are the youngest, you know, mechanics and the youngest soldiers on the ship because it's like, you know, it's a newbie. Don't have seniority.  [00:21:16] Jason: And they're new and you give them the worst job. They get the shit job. [00:21:19] Lior: Exactly. So what I did, I went and got beneath the engines myself. Yeah. And it, it became a show. All the soldiers came to watch. Oh man, the chief got beneath the engines. He's crazy. What is he doing? It was a shock, but nobody forgot that. Like my soldiers up until today, were like best friends or like my little brothers, they remember this until today, this little thing that I never done after that again, by the way, I did it once. [00:21:48] Lior: Yeah. But they never forget it. And that sets so many examples in terms of what I expect from them in terms of ownership, you know, and values and teamwork and not being afraid to take on, you know, jobs that, that are like beneath me or whatever. That was such a powerful message without me even saying a word. [00:22:08] Lior: Yeah. So think of yourself as a property manager. Like what things you can do like that, that you need to do only once maybe in your life, you know, and show your employees that you're not afraid to get dirty and do the hard work and really show them that nobody should be feeling that something is beneath them or like it's not, you know, to their level or whatever. [00:22:31] Lior: Like if you are doing that, like who am I to, you know, raise any objections of doing something? Like I'm not the company owner and if the company owner is doing that, I better do that. Right? So  [00:22:44] Jason: yeah, that's a great story. Great example. I. You know, it's a great display of leadership. There's a really good book kind of about this principle called The Motive by Patrick Lencioni. [00:22:54] Jason: And in he talks about how there's two types of CEOs and there's the CEOs that think because of their position, everybody owes them everything. They're king, they deserve everything. And they end up having organizations that have a lack of ownership, a lack of accountability, and a lot of problems. [00:23:10] Jason: Because they think they're superior to everybody else. And then there's the CEOs that have the right motive and they understand that they have the worst job in the company because their job is to do anything that's not working and to step in anywhere that there's a problem and they need to be willing to, like you talked about, get dirty and start, like help out at the bottom if that's what the business needs to get clarity or to fix things or to figure it out. [00:23:38] Jason: And so being able to display that is a powerful thing. Like it reminds me the other day, I'm training some setters right now to do some cold calls for us, do some outreach to property managers. because we're like. The best kept secret in property management. Not all our people have heard of DoorGrow still, and so we're having them do some outreach and they're like, oh, it's really hard. [00:23:56] Jason: I don't know how to deal with gatekeepers and all this. And you like the subtext says, Jason, you don't understand. This is difficult. So I'm like, cool, let me do it right now. And I picked up the phone and they were watching me on Zoom and I'm cold calling and doing it. And the second call I got first was a voicemail. [00:24:11] Jason: I'm like, here's how to leave a voicemail to get them to call you back. And then the second call was a receptionist. And I connected with her. I made her laugh. I got info from her about the business owners, what their challenges are. Oh, there's two business owners. Okay, cool. And I got all this information about how many doors they have, everything about the business because I was nice to the receptionist and treated her like a person. [00:24:34] Jason: And and she was helping me out. She wouldn't give me their cell phone numbers, but I got everything else I needed so we could call back. And I'm like, cool. Did you see how that went? And they were like, well, it's really cool. So yeah, when we're willing to step in and show them how to do something, it can break some of their preconceived ideas, their perceptions, and so yeah, they see a leader and they're like, oh, well the leader can do this and the leader can do this well. Be cause if everybody underneath you is like, yeah, but he's never done this hard stuff, or he hasn't done this, and they're like. There's always that story. Well, he did that worst job, like he was pushing, they're like, what? Yeah, first day? I mean, it speaks volumes of character and it, yeah, it makes your leadership much easier. [00:25:19] Jason: That's kind of the equivalent of people say, if you get thrown in prison, go fight the biggest guy there, or something like this. Right? And that was the most challenging thing that nobody thought you would do, and you went and did it. And so, yeah, you earned respect. And you know, leadership has to be born out of respect. [00:25:35] Jason: So these are great principles. This was valuable in the podcast alone. So let's move on to getting into Blanket. And I think this is a game changer. I think every property management business owner should be using Blanket every single one. It's an absolute no brainer. It helps them retain their clients, well retain the properties. [00:25:58] Jason: So basically keeping their portfolio, even if the owners are leaving and it gives them access to a network of investors. And there's just so many benefits. So I'll let you tell everybody about it because you probably know a little bit more than I do, so.  [00:26:12] Lior: Sure. Thanks. Sure thing. I'll actually do I normally have, you know, the whole spiel and the features and what we provide and whatever, but I think if we already started on such a inspiring, I would say, note to the, to this episode. [00:26:25] Lior: I'll start with the why. With why we're doing what we're doing, because I think it's important and we, and I think we're not doing a good job maybe at explaining the why enough in pretty much everywhere we go about, yeah.  [00:26:36] Jason: People don't buy what you do. Simon Sinek says they buy why you do it. [00:26:39] Jason: So, exactly. Let's into the why behind Blanket. Why does Blanket exist? Yeah.  [00:26:44] Lior: So the overarching premise is that. Today there is a very big, I would say, failure or gap in the market in our single family rental market. When you look at other asset classes, when you look at commercial, when you look at, you know, multifamily, industrial office, any investors in those asset classes have an investment manager, a professional investment manager. [00:27:13] Lior: That provides them, you know, quarterly, you know, reports provides them with strategy sessions about their next capital, you know, allocation about their disposition. Yes, they have someone to guide them in a very professional way to their goals and to and to match their needs. The only asset class, the only asset class that does not have the function of an investment manager is single family. [00:27:40] Lior: Yeah. And that's especially the asset class that needs it the most because 99% of all single family rental owners are mom and pop investors. Institutional players own, roughly, depending on which source you're reading, but roughly between one to 2% of all the single family rental properties across the country. [00:28:02] Lior: The most is owned by mom and pop investors. The people who need that guidance the most. And they don't have that, which is why they're making mistakes, which is why they have maybe sometimes, and I bet all the listeners can agree some unrealistic expectations of what a property manager should do. And that creates a big gap that the only one losing or not the only one, but like the two people that are losing from the situation is that mom and pop owner and us, the property manager, because we then lose a lot of clients. [00:28:36] Lior: And it's sort of like this identity crisis where we as property managers are perceived as service providers, as rent collectors, as toilet fixers, but we are held accountable as if we're the investment managers. Like, you know, why am I losing so much money on this property? [00:28:57] Lior: It's all you. It's all about you. You didn't, you know, collect the rent. You didn't rent it on time. Yeah. Why it's vacant. Like with all due respect, you are the one who bought this property. You know, you bought it in this problematic area. You bought a very old property that never replaced the roof, never replaced the ac, and it is a very bad shape in a very bad neighborhood. [00:29:17] Lior: Like there is a limit to what I can do for you at the end of the day. But the problem is that we as property managers, we're stuck in this middle where we are held accountable. As if we're their investment manager, but we're perceived as just a service provider, which is the most difficult position to be at. [00:29:34] Lior: Now, how does that connect to our why? When I started doing real estate again, remember that like my personal why my grandparents, right? I wanted to build a real estate portfolio that will allow me to give them at least one property from which they can live off. To act as their pension. Sort of like plan. [00:29:53] Lior: And as, as more as I grew up in this industry as an operator, as sort of like a property manager without all the headaches of operation, you know, just acting as the owner relationship manager. I understood that if there was a platform, you know, back then when I was just dreaming about it, if there was a platform that will empower the property managers to become investment managers for their clients. I know that my parents and my loved ones can be in good hands because if those property managers that manage my grandparents' homes can tell them what to do based on, you know, what's happening with the property, when should they renovate, maybe, when should they sell, when maybe when should they refinance and cash out? [00:30:40] Lior: Or maybe when should they buy another property or any other question that is sort of like surrounding the investment life cycle or the investment journey, right? I know that their sort of like goal of retiring financially safe can be handled because there is no one else who will take care of that. The agent who maybe, you know, sold them that property, he has no vested interest in the long term. [00:31:05] Lior: He's doing a transaction and he's done. Out. The lender, same thing. He got the origination fees, he secured the loan, he's out the window and they're out. Nobody besides the property manager has a long-term vested interest in the wellbeing of the property owner. So for us, this is what motivates our entire team. We understand that if we'll be able to empower our partners, our property managers into investment managers, we will take care of our loved ones. [00:31:36] Lior: We will make sure that they will be in good hands and this is the why, because there is a gap that only property managers can fill. And this is that the gap of a missing investment manager for the investors that are the least experienced, that need the guidance the most, this is what we wake up for, this is what we work for. [00:32:00] Lior: This is everything that, you know, leads in every decision making intersection or like point in our company's life cycle. Yeah, I love it.  [00:32:08] Jason: This is why we come to leaders. This is why people come to a property manager. They're looking for leadership, they're looking for guidance. And when you're at that peak of customer satisfaction, customer service, that's where you are an advice giver, where you're giving advice, not just like the title of this episode is from Rent Collector to Asset Manager, and the idea is: [00:32:32] Jason: if you can go from just being somebody that keeps the rent coming to helping them manage the asset, you are already head and shoulders above other management companies. So if you can present yourself as an asset manager, and I've had a podcast episode with a client who's very good at doing this, he is able to assess their property. [00:32:51] Jason: We have this really cool tool called the ROI calculator. He'll help show them whether it's performing properly, what the long-term benefits are. What the tax benefits are, and so he can help them assess the property and they already just view him as an expert instead of wanting to work with any other management company. [00:33:08] Jason: So a lot of you feel like you're competing with other management companies because you're doing cold lead marketing stuff that probably doesn't work very well. And if you're doing that, reach out to DoorGrow, we'll help you fix that problem. But there's plenty of business out there. There's no scarcity. [00:33:20] Jason: But if you do feel like you're competing with other companies, one way to set yourself head and shoulders above the rest is to no longer be a property manager that just collects rent and coordinates maintenance, but to be an asset or portfolio manager for this investor. So, how does Blanket help with this? [00:33:37] Lior: I think we nailed it. We are right on point. And I love,  [00:33:40] Jason: I love it. I mean, everyone needs to realize this is the motivator. This is the reason. Because property managers, if you want to have an easier time closing deals, you want to retain clients, keep clients trusting you, and if clients trust you as an asset manager, they're way more hands off. [00:33:56] Jason: They don't try to manage the manager, they stop trying to micromanage you because they look at you as the advice giver and as the advisor instead of thinking, this is just somebody that works for me that I now need to manage and make sure they're not stealing from me and they do it my way.  [00:34:11] Lior: Exactly. [00:34:11] Lior: So we are really tackling this mission from two angles and the understanding here is that. As you said, if you are acting as a trusted advisor, if you're acting as an asset manager and your clients appreciate you as one, you will have less churn and you will grow a lot faster. So when we're thinking about these two, you know, functions of your business, on the one hand churn and on the other hand, growth, these two things always go together in property management. [00:34:47] Lior: Why? Because if we're looking at the average,  [00:34:49] Jason: and let's explain churn real quick for, because some people, this is a new term for them, they're like, what does this mean? Churning? So churn means you're losing business, you're losing clients, they're churning out. So this is the rate at which you're losing clients every year. [00:35:03] Lior: Exactly. Exactly. It's how many doors you lost technically, again, no matter what the reason, but like you lost the door, you know that's churn. So in property management there is a very unique and frustrating thing is that you'll always have churn. You can never lower to zero. Why? Because life happens. You might have a client that's super, super happy with what you're providing. [00:35:27] Lior: He loves you. He loves the relationship, he loves the service. He's getting everything from you, but suddenly life happens and he needs the money, he needs to sell that property, unfortunately. It has nothing to do with your performance, it's just his life. So that property is going to be sold and you're going to lose that, so you'll have churn. [00:35:46] Lior: So in property management there always be churn and it's something we have to accept. So that means if you can't, you know, really lower churn to zero, that means you always have to have a growth strategy to offset the doors that you're still going to lose. Yeah. So growth and churn, and. Or the opposite of churn, which is retention. [00:36:10] Lior: Okay. Growth and retention and property management have to work together always at all times. On the one hand, if we're like, imagine a bucket of water and your task is to keep in full and you have a hole at the bottom so it's leaking. Okay? Yeah. So you always have to work on closing that leak. [00:36:31] Lior: But you always have to keep pouring more water to keep it at the same level. That's pretty much the secret. That's how Blanket is built. We have two packages, one called Retain and the other called Grow. Very simple not too complicated on that front. And each one has various features and various products to help you achieve that goal. [00:36:53] Lior: So, for example. And by the way the combination of these two, this is what allows you to be that ultimate asset manager to your clients, right? That can help your clients, first of all, optimize their portfolio and generate more cash flow, and forget about a lot of headaches that come with property investing, but on the other hand, help them make more money by expanding their portfolio, buying more properties, and growing it. [00:37:20] Lior: So the combination of these two packages, that's what helps you allow, you know, what helps you be an ultimate asset manager. Now, what do each one of those packages do? So the Retain package gives your clients a branded investor dashboard. So it has your logo, it has your face, nobody knows who Blanket is, and that investor dashboard gives your clients real time performance metrics. [00:37:42] Lior: It allows them to see how their properties are really doing. Through an integration with their property management software and through pulling a lot of data from title companies, public county records, and national data providers that allow them to really see every property related transaction in real time from their mortgage payments, their property taxes, their insurance, their HOA and everything that you're tracking as well in your property management software. [00:38:07] Lior: So that way they can see exactly what's their net cash flow every month. They can see their property's value and how much it appreciated this month. And they can also see how much equity they have in their homes so that whenever it's time for them to take the next step, they can quickly press on the cash out button and refinance and extract the equity that they have in those proceeds and buy another property with that. [00:38:30] Lior: So that's part of the retained package that is owner facing. All the rest of the features are property manager facing, meaning your team is going to use them. But one thing I forgot to mention on that front, on the sort of like investor dashboard that your clients are getting, we also are doing what we call white labeled email communications. [00:38:52] Lior: So remember that story of me handling owner communications for property managers? This is where it comes from, and the understanding that your clients are used to a very bad, sort of like foundation of communication, which is I'm either getting an email about me having to pay for something I need to fix right now, and you're asking, you know, my money, or I'm getting an email with the owner statement, with that accounting view that I can't really understand and I'm getting just more confused instead of actually getting value from it. [00:39:24] Lior: Plus, it never shows me the full picture because it only shows me, you know the fees that you're charging, maintenance and like the rent, I don't see exactly how my property is doing. So it's really not a value. So like this is the foundation of the relationship. So if you are not providing your clients with additional positive touch points, how can they appreciate what you're doing for them? [00:39:45] Lior: because that's what they get. It's like, it's very the energetic I would say, you know, frequency of, from all these emails and touch points, getting them is negative. Like that's what they get. So what we're also doing, we're doing white labeled email communications as well. Again, it's your logo, it's your profile, it's your name that sends them, for example, a monthly report or update on how much their property is appreciated in value. [00:40:08] Lior: It sends them, you know, some like tips on how to utilize the platform and how to really be on top of things and always be in control of how your properties are really doing. A lot of these things that are just, yeah, just like, it's automated. You don't have to do anything. So like, it just gives them more transparency and feeling of, I'm in control, right? [00:40:28] Lior: Like I'm in control. I know how things are doing, like, and if there's something I need to do,  [00:40:32] Jason: which reduces their anxiety. The number one reason owners are constantly calling you, being interruptive, trying to micromanage you, is because they are anxious. Exactly. If you can reduce their anxiety. By increasing their awareness and their trust in you, it's a no brainer. [00:40:47] Jason: It's going to lower your operational costs dramatically.  [00:40:51] Lior: Exactly. So that's on the owner facing side of things. In the retain package, the team facing sort of like tools, they provide you two main things. There are two products within the retain package that your team is going to use. One is our portfolio manager. [00:41:06] Lior: Think of it as like an asset management dashboard. And the other one is our AI risk manager. So this one, you know, think of it as like your churn, you know, mitigator, and each one of them provides you two aspects of the same owner. The asset management dashboard shows you the health of every owner's property. [00:41:29] Lior: The churn manager or the risk manager shows you the risk of every property of churning. So the asset management dashboard will show you. Right.  [00:41:39] Jason: So the risk of them that like how likely they are to maybe start paying attention to maybe selling it, things like that.  [00:41:45] Lior: Just leaving, yeah. The risk of them leaving. [00:41:47] Lior: So, okay, let's maybe start with that because that's really, you know, one of the coolest products that we have. So the AI Churn Manager technically shows you the churn risk of every owner. Okay. Pretty much the risk of every owner from leaving you with ai, which takes in a lot of data. A lot of data from the communications with that owner to the property performance of that owner, everything that goes into whatever is related to that owner is taken into account and then it shows you the risk, but it also shows you the client value of that owner, meaning how much revenue this owner is generating your company. [00:42:25] Lior: Because we're integrated into a property management software, we know that revenue per unit of every property, so we can tell you how much every owner is worth for you. So the combination of these two elements of the churn risk and the client's value can really give you the ability to prioritize on whole, on who you are going to focus on first, and then you can really focus on the ones who are at high risk and high value. [00:42:50] Lior: And now what are you going to do next? Next, what that AI Retention Manager does for you is it also tells you exactly what to do to retain this owner. For example, let's say you have an owner that has a property that's currently undergoing a renovation, and he also has a mortgage in place, so he's losing money every month. [00:43:10] Lior: He's stressed. He might be thinking to himself, you know, why did I get into this whole thing? You know, I'm just losing money. I'm taking money outta my pocket every month. It's painful. So the AI will notice that and tell you something like, Hey, Jason, because A, B, C, D, what he should do is send this owner a link to his performance, which is one of like the features we have in that investor dashboard is like the forward looking performance of this property, right? [00:43:35] Lior: Send him a link to his performance so he can see that he should hold onto this property and not sell it right, because he's going to make a lot of money and waive two months of management fees. And again, those fees wouldn't cover for the losses, right? But it would show the owner how committed you are to his financial wellbeing. [00:43:54] Lior: So those are the things that the AI can tell you to do based on the retention policy that you will set in the beginning by answering questions that the AI will ask you to understand how you're thinking, what's your approach to retention. And lastly, when you'll see that recommendation, it will also draft you an email or a phone call script with your tone of voice. [00:44:15] Lior: So all you have to do is like literally hit send or just call them and read the script. So that's what the ai retention manager does for you. Okay, cool. And the asset management, you know, dashboard, which is that portfolio manager, that shows you just the overall performance of all your properties. And it can show you, for example, which properties are underperforming, meaning which properties are in negative cash flow position, so that you can reach out to these owners and tell them something like, Hey Jason, I see that this property is really not doing well. [00:44:42] Lior: We tried this, we tried that. We tried this. Why not think of 10 31, exchanging this property. Let's change it to a better property, one that wouldn't have all these headaches that we're going through. Two, it will be able to yield higher cashflow for you because we'll be able to charge a higher rent, you know, property in a better condition, so less expenses, and three, maybe even this will be a property in a better location, so more appreciation, potential, right? So like three wins for you, Mr. Owner, and to me, two wins because I'm getting the commissions maybe from both sides, right? Plus I'm getting a new door that might have a higher revenue per unit. [00:45:21] Lior: Or maybe there's enough faculty or which just more operational  [00:45:24] Jason: cost. Yeah, just easier to deal with. So like it's a winner. Also, maybe you could convert all the shitty properties in your portfolio and the easier properties to deal with.  [00:45:34] Lior: And that's the thing I always tell to all of our clients, think of this as like your blueprint to building the portfolio of your dreams. [00:45:42] Lior: Because it shows you which properties are underperforming. It shows you which properties have a high maintenance income ratio. So you can see which owners are really spending a lot of money on maintenance compared to how much money they're making in rent. And by the way, if, for example, if you have a maintenance division or you're charging markups on renovation, those properties are an additional revenue stream that you cannot reach out to all those owners and tell them. [00:46:05] Lior: Hey, Jason, like we're spending a lot of money on maintenance in the past couple of years. Let's think about, you know, reinvesting some of that cash flow and, you know, improving the property's condition, which is, you know, revenue for your company as well. So that what that, you know, asset management dashboard allows you to do is to see which properties are performing well, which properties are performing, you know, bad. [00:46:25] Lior: And for those that are performing well, you'll see things like, you know, which owners have a lot of equity trapped in their home? So that maybe when interest rates go down a little, you can reach out to them and say, Jason, like, look at this. Remember you said you want to build, you know, to grow your portfolio? [00:46:40] Lior: Interest rates have gone down right now and you have like $300,000 in equity. Let's step into that equity refinance, take the proceeds and buy another property in our area, which we have access to a lot of off market inventory here, which leads us to the grow package now. So that's the retain  [00:46:57] Jason: package that grow package. [00:46:58] Jason: I'll run through it quickly. I want all of my clients listening to this to be using Blanket like I want they all should be. This just is an absolute no brainer.  [00:47:08] Lior: Yeah. We definitely, by the way, it's not like I want to also give a shout out to all of our clients and all the folks that were with us from the start. [00:47:15] Lior: It's not like we are, you know, so smart and we had the solution for everything. This is a lot of hard work and sweat. By listening to all of our client's feedback and what they need the solutions to their like day-to-day problems and needs that they always experience and just never have the opportunity to really do it at scale. [00:47:33] Lior: Right? So, yeah. Back to the growth package. So that was the retained package, just as a summary. Two owner facing, you know, propositions, which is the investor dashboard and the branded owner communications, and two propositions for your team, which is the asset management dashboard and the AI retention manager.  [00:47:51] Lior: On the growth package, you also have two owner facing tools. One is the investment property marketplace, which is also white labeled with your logo. And this marketplace technically shows all your clients because it's closed only to your clients or anybody you invite to it. And we'll cover that in a second. But your clients who are in that marketplace see all the properties, all the off market properties that are for sale in your area. [00:48:16] Lior: So that way whenever they decide to buy another property, that will be a property that you're going to manage for them. So the marketplace. Acts as like this, you know, main tool for number one, capturing owners who want to sell. Remember what we started, we, you know, we want to capture the owners who are selling so we can at least, you know, get that commission or better get that commission and sell it to one of our other clients and retain the management of that unit. [00:48:41] Lior: But it also allows your clients to buy more properties. Now you're probably asking, you know, okay, where do those properties come from? So we source inventory on a national level from the largest wholesalers, turnkey providers, home builders for sale by owner feeds, anything that's off market, we are pretty much sourcing it across the country  [00:49:03] Jason: Is Blanket using investors that they can list their properties in this as well?  [00:49:09] Lior: So your clients, whenever they list their property, they will be at the top. They are what we call the exclusive properties category. So they are at the top. [00:49:17] Lior: We are pushing them always front face and center. They're the first ones for all your other clients to see, to increase the chances of them buying that from your clients and retaining the management of the unit. So all those properties that we have are all off market and. Yeah. Then this allows you not only to give it to your clients, but you can also invite anybody you want to it. [00:49:37] Lior: So maybe you have a list of leads that you bought in the past, you know, some cold leads or whatever. Or maybe you have friends and family that are interested in buying a property and working with you, or maybe you're going to like a BiggerPockets, you know, meetup or conference with investors or whatever. [00:49:51] Lior: They're always on the hunt for off market properties. So what you can do, you can invite them to the marketplace as a prospect. So like as a visitor, and once you invite them. And they log in, it appears as a prospect lead that you can then call them and say, Hey, Jason just saw you logged into our marketplace. [00:50:07] Lior: Hope that you liked it. By the way, if you have other properties in our area, I would love to send you some, you know, special friend, you know, discount for our property management services. And now you have a different conversation that is based on, you know, what your brand can offer them. So that's the marketplace. [00:50:24] Lior: And as you can see, the marketplace, technically what it does, it generates you leads, buyer leads, seller leads, prospect leads, et cetera. And what we provide is also sort of like a CRM feature that allows you just to keep track of all those leads, engage with them, or integrate with your existing CRM. [00:50:40] Lior: So folks might be using different systems we can integrate and push all those leads to your system. And lastly, the last feature that is also used by your team, by your BDM, or by yourself if you're starting out, is what we call our referral management system. So this system takes in all the agents in your area and pulls in information about them from the MLS and many other sources, and shows you, for every agent in your market, how many transactions they sold in the past two years, how many years in business, what's the average price of the properties they're selling, their contact details, their website, everything you need to actually start increasing or expanding your referral network that you have already in Blanket. [00:51:21] Lior: So what you do then. You could start reaching out to them, sending them emails from the Blanket system. And whenever they respond, you get on a call, you offer them, you know, to partner up and pay them referral fees for any client they're sending. And then you are giving them also a user in the system. And that's one of the interesting things. Today, agents are struggling, especially buyer's agents, which are normally, you know, the younger ones in every brokerage because the listing agents are normally the brokers and the most experienced ones. [00:51:48] Lior: So like buyers agents are having a hard time today with interest rates and with everything that's happening. So you can position yourself as their exclusive off market inventory partner, which they can leverage to be winning with their potential clients. So that way whenever you invite them as a partner, you're giving them access to off market inventory that they can't find anywhere else. [00:52:13] Lior: And that way whenever they bring on clients, they're sending them through the system and with a click of a button directly to you, you get those leads. They get paid through the system with that referral fee that you've set and agreed to with them, whether it's $500, 250, whatever. And the cool thing about it is that it has also automated updates to the agent every time one of the referrals inquired about a property they want to buy or to sell, assuming you promise them, you know, to return that lead back to them when it's selling. So that way you are making them happy. Those referrals are happy and you are able to really grow, you know, your referral network with everything within your ecosystem. [00:52:51] Lior: And be that center of the ecosystem, be that asset manager. Nice. So that's the goal package as well.  [00:52:57] Jason: That's super awesome. So cool. This Blanket sounds like an awesome tool. You've shown it to me. I think it's really a brilliant idea. I think every property manager should be using it. It's a no-brainer. [00:53:08] Jason: How do people get started with you? How do people get in touch?  [00:53:12] Lior: So you can either visit our website: Blankethomes.com and just schedule a quick, you know, 15 minute discovery call. You know, just listen to what we can offer so we wouldn't waste your time. And just understand if it's the right thing for you. [00:53:26] Lior: And then you can either just, you know, send me a LinkedIn message, send me a dm, pretty much on every social media platform. I'm not really responding very fast. And we could just get on a call. And I also invite anybody that wants you to just, you know, even if they're not interested in Blanket, right? [00:53:41] Lior: Like if you're thinking to yourself maybe it's too much for me. Maybe it's too expensive, I don't have the bandwidth right now, but you want to brainstorm about, you know, how to be more investor, you know, investment manager mindset as like guided property manager, how to be more of an asset manager. [00:53:56] Lior: This is my passion, this is what I've been doing my entire life. Like, if you want to just brainstorm, shoot me a message. Like I can talk about this for hours, so, you know, I'll be happy to help anybody that needs that. Even if you're not a Blanket client, again, you don't have to be a partner of ours to really just, you know, get inspired and, you know, learn from other people's mistakes. [00:54:14] Lior: And we've done quite a few.  [00:54:16] Jason: Awesome Lior, thanks for being a guest here on the DoorGrow Show podcast appreciate you hanging out with us.

El presidente del Colegio de Abogados de Santa Fe, Andrés Abramovich, expresó su enérgico rechazo en EME Medios, a la designación de los jueces Ariel Lijo y García Mansilla como ministros de la Corte Suprema de Justicia mediante decreto presidencial."Los ministros de la Corte Suprema de Justicia son los últimos intérpretes de la Constitución Nacional, que es nuestra ley fundamental. Por lo tanto, deben ocupar esos cargos personas con prestigio, integridad moral, ética e intelectual", manifestó Abramovich.

Today we welcome one of football's most iconic CEOs. When Peter Kenyon moved from Manchester United to Chelsea in 2003 after Roman Abramovich bought the club, it was the first time a move in the boardroom was treated like a player transfer. Sir Alex Ferguson was said to be ‘intensely disappointed', not least because he recognised the role Peter played in the success of United at the time. Having built Man Utd into both a performance and commercial powerhouse, Peter took on the task of executing Abramovich's vision; to build the best club in Europe. From working with Ferguson to hiring Mourinho, from creating culture to delivering trophies, we get an answer to the question we have asked for a long time: How to build success off the pitch AND win on it? It doesn't get much bigger than this.  On today's show we discuss: Manchester United: Building a Global Brand Sir Alex Ferguson was key to the success of Manchester United on and off the pitch; why you couldn't detach winning from the commercial achievements of the club. “Why are some businesses successful and others not? It's down to people”. The importance of building the best team for the job at hand. It wasn't necessarily about signing the best players; it was about signing the personalities that fit the culture. Why United were able to capitalise on their success from a business standpoint where Liverpool didn't. The story behind Rupert Murdoch's failed acquisition of the club in 1998. The Move to Chelsea: Why did Peter leave the biggest club in the country to take over at newly owned Chelsea in 2003? “Abramovich was an unbelievable owner”. What made Chelsea's owner so great for his 20 years of stewardship and what makes the best owners in football? The story (and theory) behind firing Claudio Ranieri and signing Jose Mourinho, and why it just may be the best money Chelsea spent. Conversations with Abramovich before he bought the club included a very clear set of ambitions and a definition of what success looks like; what were the targets? What was the hardest deal to get done while Peter was in charge of Chelsea? The Industry Today: “The downfall of United was the success of United”. Why it is so important to have a succession plan in sport. Are we seeing a break in the relationship of a necessity to win to drive strong commercial performance?  It may pain Peter to admit it, but why does he think Liverpool have done an exceptional job in recent years where others have struggled? In a nod to his current board seat at Williams F1, why the Williams comeback will be the greatest in sporting history!

With the billions he made at the expense of Russian taxpayers, Roman Abramovich bought six luxury superyachts over the years. Among them were the 162-metre-long Eclipse, with swimming pools, helipads and a missile defence system - and the Pelorus - sometimes lent to Chelsea footballers.They could each cost up to one and a half million dollars just to re-fuel. If they'd been declared as being for his own personal use, VAT would have been payable on costs like that. Instead, for more than a decade, tax authorities were led to believe the superyachts were being rented out to commercial customers. Financial investigations correspondent Andy Verity working with The Bureau of Investigative Journalism and The Guardian discovers that the firms renting the boats ultimately belonged to a trust held by - Roman Abramovich. Under the scheme devised for him, the sanctioned oligarch was hiring out his superyachts - to himself. Mr Abramovich has denied either directing or knowing of any deception.Reporter: Andy Verity Producer: Paul Grant Editor: Richard Vadon

Andrés Abramovich dijo que ven con preocupación este conflicto al tiempo que detalló cómo se ve afectada la actividad de los profesionales ante las medidas de fuerza de los empleados judiciales.

Roman Abramovich was known as the "stealth oligarch" before he stepped into the limelight as Chelsea football club's sugar daddy owner. The man loves a yacht: his largest cost $427m, and has bullet-proof windows and an escape submarine. Abramovich made his fortune from post-Soviet privatisation, aided by a man known as the “Godfather of the Kremlin”, Boris Berezovsky, and close ties to Vladimir Putin in the early years of his presidency. But with recent reports of a suspected poisoning and sanctions against him in the wake of the Russia-Ukraine war, Abramovich's luck might be changing. BBC business editor Simon Jack and journalist Zing Tsjeng track Abramovich's meteoric rise from being a hard-up orphan to making billions from oil and aluminium. Then they decide if they think he's good, bad, or just another billionaire.

In deze exclusieve aflevering vertelt Coley Parry, de eigenaar van de Common Group die een poging heeft gedaan Vitesse over te nemen, voor het eerst zijn verhaal. Samen met Neal Petersen lopen ze door de tijdlijn heen vanaf het eerste contact met Vitesse tot de mislukte overname van Guus Franke. Waarom duurde het onderzoek van de licentiecommissie zo lang, wat voor effect het verleden van Vitesse met Abramovich op de overname heeft gehad en hoe de toekomst van de club er uit ziet.Zie het privacybeleid op https://art19.com/privacy en de privacyverklaring van Californië op https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

Welcome to the latest episode of The Overlap's football history podcast, It Was What It Was. This week Jonathan Wilson and Rob Draper tell the story of probably the most-consequential football club takeover ever: When Roman Abramovich bought Chelsea in 2003. Before sportswashing was even a word and in an age when Financial Fair Play didn't exist, we examine the background to the most-startling and unexpected deal in Premier League history. And the extraordinary impact it would make, as Chelsea splurged what was at the time an eye-watering £100m in that first summer transfer window, laying the foundations for Chelsea to become a super club that would win 18 major trophies in the Roman era. It transformed the Premier League, threatened Fergie, ruined the latter years of Arsene Wenger's career, caused UEFA to dream up new FFP rules to curb them and paved the way for the era of nation state investors at Manchester City, Paris St Germain and Newcastle United. It Was What it Was goes back to that stunning summer which changed the game and debates whether football was ever the same after the Roman Conquest.Please subscribe to never miss an episode.

Como nosotros vamos en dirección contraria a lo que está de moda vamos a hablar ahora, una vez acabadas las olimpiadas de París 2024, sobre la simbología que ha encerrado este evento que curiosamente ha sido la Olimpiada moderna numero 33 y ha terminado en la semana 33 del año. Para ello vamos a utilizar nuestro propio conocimiento y algunos textos de otros autores y algún hilo interesante como el de “aguatico de pescaico” titulado “Descifremos: la fiesta egipcia de París” publicado en burbuja punto info. A primera vista resultó un espectáculo patético, sátiras de la última cena, referencias a los jinetes del apocalipsis, satanismo, quemar pianos, ideología de género, deconstrucción de toda referencia histórica o tradicional, deconstrucción de la belleza, del orden, de lo tradicional… etcétera. ¿Pero que hay mas allá? De lo que tratan siempre los juegos olímpicos en esencia es de lo luciferino, no es un acto de nobleza humana o deportiva, sino que está organizado por las élites psicopatocraticas que detentan el poder-religión para mostrarnos el camino que tomará la humanidad bajo su liderazgo y regenerar su poder en un ritual multitudinario. Mucho antes de la celebración de las Olimpiadas en Grecia se celebraba en Egipto el Heb Sed o Fiesta de renovación real. Cada 4 o 5 años se hacía en Egipto la FIESTA DE LA RENOVACION para regenerar la fuerza física y la energía sobrenatural del faraón. Allí sé hacia un ritual muy parecido a lo que veremos en la ceremonia inaugural de unos juegos olímpicos. Un desfile o procesión donde egipcios de todas las regiones del país aparecían ante el rey. El rey cambiaba su indumentaria para realizar la carrera ritual. Al final terminaba erigiendo un pilar ceremonial y disparando flechas en dirección a los cuatro puntos cardinales para proteger y mantener alejados a los enemigos. Veremos como en esta ceremonia de inauguración se hace referencia a tradiciones egipcias, griegas y en general de la mitología antigua. También se hace burla al culto cristiano y sus símbolos, la cruz o el propio Jesucristo. (0003) Hubo un evento previo el viernes 26 de julio mediante un ataque coordinado contra la red de trenes de alta velocidad cerca de París que se ejecutó en forma de cruz. La inauguración de los JJOO duró casi cuatro horas en 12 partes un prólogo, diez actos y un epílogo. Aquí es clara la intencionalidad de referirse a los 12 apóstoles y también a utilizar el 10 que es considerado divino. ¿Y quién ha sido el director artístico de las ceremonias de apertura y clausura de los Juegos Olímpicos de Verano de 2024 en París? Pues ha sido elegido Thomas Jolly fundador de La Piccola Familia en 2006. Luego fue elegido por el gobierno francés para dirigir el centro dramático nacional Le Quai d'Angers desde el 1 de enero de 2020 hasta noviembre de 2022. El propio gobierno francés define así dichos centros de creación teatral: “Los centros dramáticos nacionales (CDN) son establecimientos emblemáticos de la política de descentralización dramática dirigida por el Estado desde hace setenta años (los primeros cinco centros fueron creados entre 1946 y 1952). Estructuras de creación y producción dirigidas por uno o varios artistas comprometidos en el campo teatral, las CDN constituyen herramientas principales y estructurantes para el diseño, la fabricación y la producción de obras teatrales, con un espíritu de apertura y de compartir. Las CDN son lugares donde pueden encontrarse y articularse todas las dimensiones del teatro: la investigación, la escritura, la creación, la difusión, la formación. Para cada CDN, se celebra un contrato de descentralización dramática entre el Ministro de Cultura y el director de la estructura certificada, por la que se definen los compromisos de cada Parte para la ejecución de las misiones de creación teatral de interés general en el marco de los objetivos definidos en el pliego de condiciones y en las especificaciones del sello CDN.” O sea, el gobierno decide cuál será el teatro que verán las personas amantes de este arte. Obviamente un gobierno “progre” y preocupado en inculcar ideas progres da como resultado lo que vivimos actualmente. El propio creador nos cuenta en una entrevista en Vogue: “Los Juegos Olímpicos, en su leyenda fundacional, son curativos”, dice Jolly, aludiendo al momento político en el que nos encontramos. “Curan la peste y traen la paz”. ¿Y cuál es el significado del Sena? “Para empezar, el Sena era una diosa”, dice Jolly, “una ninfa llamada Sequana, que se convirtió en río para poder escapar de Neptuno. Así que el Sena es una mujer que resiste a un hombre violento. Es un símbolo muy grande, y lo voy a utilizar porque convierte al río en una fuerza femenina de resistencia”. Lo que Jolly pretende demostrar es que en París hay “lugar para todos. Puede que sea un poco caótico, es cierto, pero eso permite que cada uno encuentre su lugar”. La ceremonia de inauguración será un éxito, afirma Jolly, “si todo el mundo se siente representado en ella”. Jolly “fue el autor de una ópera gay en la figura del emperador Heliogábalo. Ha reinterpretado a Marivaux y a Shakespeare para convertirlos en obras del contemporáneo Mark Ravenhill, autor de obras como la titulada: Ir de compras y follar, en contra del capitalismo y a favor del marxismo, del sadismo, para representar la prostitución, la drogadicción en un entorno de homosexualidad”. Han intentado añadir el origen judío de la familia de Jolly pero obviamente no hay datos que lo confirmen y ha sido borrado de la wikipedia. Lo que si podemos afirmar sin equivocarnos es que ha mantenido una relación artística con Marina Abramović y el apellido Abramovich proviene de judíos rusos como Román Abramovich, el presidente del Chelsea CF que presume de como intentan desprestigiarlo por ser judío. Marina Abramović, conocida por sus obras intensas y a menudo provocativas, y Thomas Jolly han colaborado en un proyecto que combina sus visiones artísticas. Su colaboración se centra en la adaptación de la obra de Abramović "Vida y muerte de Marina Abramović", que se representó en la Comédie-Française de París mientras la artista era directora de la Ópera Nacional de París. En este proyecto, Thomas Jolly dirigió la obra, que se basa en la vida y la trayectoria artística de Abramović. La producción explora las experiencias y actuaciones de Abramović, traduciendo su arte a un formato teatral. En 2021, Abramović fue homenajeada por el presidente Macron durante una ceremonia especial en el Palacio del Elíseo, donde se le otorgó el título de "Commandeur des Arts et Lettres" (Comandante de las Artes y las Letras), una de las distinciones más altas de Francia por sus contribuciones a las artes y la literatura. La gente cree que el apoyo actual del colectivo gay, o LGTB o incluso la creación de la bandera de la liberación homosexual son revolucionarios pero como acabamos de ver el poder-religión en la sombra es el que apoya y crea estos movimientos. Supuestamente fueron Harvey Milk y Gilbert Baker, los autores de la bandera del orgullo gay, bueno, enormes banderas de 15 por 15 metros que ondearon en San Francisco el 25 de junio de 1978. Casi diez años más tarde que banderas con los mismos colores se viesen en la Plaza de las Naciones Unidas durante los Disturbios de Stonewall. ¿Quien identificó al movimiento gay con esos colores que la gente cree que son el arcoíris? ¿No resulta curioso que justamente dicho movimiento se originase en los aledaños de las Naciones Unidas? Curiosamente tras las numerosas criticas recibidas por la organización de los JJOO se han borrado las fuentes oficiales donde se podia contemplar toda la ceremonia de inauguración y es difícil elaborar una buena interpretación. Por fortuna, nuestro amigo el puntal de dios, ha dado con una de esas pocas fuentes oficiales que quedan y que compartiremos con todos vds en la descripción del video y del audio en Ivoox. Vamos a hacer un recorrido por lo que se mostró en dicha ceremonia, lo que oficialmente nos dijeron y lo que nosotros acertamos a ver. 00 Prólogo. El altar Los franceses comienzan con un video pregrabado con imágenes de ceremonias de apertura pasadas de los Juegos y viendo como un famoso comediante francés lleva la llama hacia un estadio Stade de France vacío, sin saber que la ceremonia se llevaría a cabo fuera del recinto. Por primera vez en la historia de los Juegos Olímpicos de Verano, la ceremonia no tuvo lugar en un estadio sino que se celebró en la arteria principal de Paris, el Sena. El desfile por el río seguirá el curso del Sena, de este a oeste, a lo largo de 6,6 km. Es el recorrido desde el nacimiento del sol hasta su muerte. Partirá del puente de Austerlitz, junto al Jardin des Plantes, rodeará las dos islas del centro de la ciudad, la Île Saint Louis y la Île de la Cité, y pasará por debajo de los ocho puentes y pasarelas. Vemos aqui el primer ocho, que no será el último. ¿Qué nos dicen que simboliza el logo de los juegos de manera oficial? “Su forma circular recuerda a la medalla de oro, el premio más importante en los Juegos, y simboliza la excelencia deportiva. En el centro, la llama olímpica representa la pasión y la energía de los atletas. Además, el contorno del logo forma el rostro de "Marianne", un símbolo de Francia que representa los valores de libertad, igualdad y fraternidad.” Ese logo en forma de antorcha, de llama, tenia que ser así ya que están en su casa, la ciudad de la luz. La ciudad de Lucifer y cuna de una de las ramas importantes de la masonería donde la antorcha está presente en los actos como simbología masónica o luciferina. Es el fuego de Prometeo, el fuego luciferino o de la sabiduría, el fuego creador robado de la Fuente para no someterse y volverse como un dios, por eso unimos la antorcha a los superhombres dicho en el término amplio de la palabra que representa a toda la especie humana. Quiero destacar como la antorcha elegida para estos juegos tiene forma de vesica piscis al igual que el descosido que lleva en la espalda el portador de la antorcha enmascarado que aparece luego entre segmentos en escenas pregrabadas, en el Sena y los tejados de París, sirviendo como hilo conductor durante toda la ceremonia. Aparecen entre otros los juegos olímpicos de Tokio. Quiero recordar aqui los 11 escalones en la pagoda/pirámide de base octogonal el dia de la inauguración de los JJOO de Tokio en 2021 y además como era encendida por una atleta de pelo rojo. El cómico entrega la antorcha al futbolista Zinedine Zidane, quien posteriormente la llevará por las calles de la ciudad, llamando la atención de un trío de niños, que representaran las tres veces que París ha acogido los Juegos, y luego ira al Metro de París. Antes de que el tren pueda salir de la estación, se avería por un apagón, lo que lleva a Zidane a pasar la antorcha a los niños a través de la ventanilla del tren. Curiosamente esa misma noche tras acabar la ceremonia cuatro distritos de París se quedaron sin luz y tenemos una impresionante fotografía de Paris a oscuras y solo la Iglesia del Sagrado Corazón iluminada. ¿Me pregunto si eso simbolizaría que el ritual sacrificial ya había terminado? Otro forero de burbuja, LMLights, comenta sobre esto: “Pues si, como mostré en un post previo los JJOO, coinciden casi a la perfección con el calendario SIRIACO de este año (del 26 de Julio al 12 de Agosto, las Olimpiadas terminan el 11). Toda la ceremonia se centró EN EL SENA y a nivel simbólico egipciaco SIRIO es el reloj de las crecidas del NILO, que dan la vida a la TIERRA NEGRA fértil de KHEMET. El APAGON de los primeros dias y la TORRE EIFFEL NEGRA es otro aspecto oculto de SIRIO, como estrella negra (no porque no sea visible, sino por sus "emanaciones" invisibles).” Nosotros comentaremos en mas profundidad sobre esto cuando hablemos del ritual de clausura de estas olimpiadas pero vemos como la luz y la oscuridad están muy presentes en ambas ceremonias. Durante los siglos XVIII-XIX, existió el historiador llamado Jacques-Antoine Dulaure, quien fue el que asoció el nombre de los parisii a la diosa egipcia Isis, debido al descubrimiento de una estatua de la diosa encontrada en la Abadía de Saint-Germain-des-Prés. El escritor François Maspero afirma que el culto a Isis estaba muy extendido en Francia, especialmente en la cuenca de París, ya que por todas partes existían templos de Isis. Cabe destacar que según la terminología occidental, sería más exacto decir que estos "templos" eran la «Casa de Isis» porque dichos templos fueron llamados en egipcio Per o Par, palabra que en egipcio antiguo significa exactamente "el recinto que rodea la casa". De esta forma París sería el resultado de la yuxtaposición de Per/Par-Isis. La familia Parisi fue muy importante y fueron de los primeros en adoptar la flor de Lys que representa a Isis en sus escudos. Podemos ver un libro con una flor de Lys entregado por una nube como escudo de la universidad de Paris lo que se conoce como el conocimiento que viene del cielo. Después de atravesar las catacumbas de París y el lago subterráneo debajo del Palacio Garnier evadiendo a ratas y a un enorme cocodrilo, el que será el portador de la antorcha encapuchado y enmascarado se acercó a los niños remando un bote. ¿Caronte? El trío subió a bordo. Mientras comenzaron su viaje hacia el mundo exterior, la cámara se desplazó hacia el escenario del Trocadéro para revelar a Thomas Bach, presidente del Comité Olímpico Internacional y Emmanuel Macron, presidente de Francia, mientras se pusieron de pie para dar la bienvenida a la multitud. Después de eso, el barco remó a través de un túnel, revelando una luz que brilló para revelar la frase "Ça ira" todo estará bien, cuando el barco llegó atravesando el Sena al Trocadero. El Trocadero, otro punto importante del ritual, digamos que el altar de toda esta ceremonia. ¿Pero qué pinta esa cabeza de toro bien pegada al símbolo de los JJOO que incluso tapaba parte de los anillos olímpicos? La escultura: taureau et daim, de Paul Jouve representa a Apis y Osiris, respectivamente, el dios toro (Apis) y ciervo ( Acer) egipcios La gran explanada y palacios art decó, con estatuas de todo el panteón pagano, desde Apolo, Hércules, los ya vistos Osiris y Apis, etc… Famosa es la imagen de Hitler contemplando París desde ese gran altar con la torre Eiffel detrás. El trocadero es la gran logia, la capilla mayor al aire libre del nuevo París, un lugar emblemático, casi sagrado, que hace de catedral moderna en el entorno de la exposición universal de París, está asentado sobre una gran fuente, quizá la mas grande y potente del mundo, como muchas catedrales lo están sobre nacimientos de agua, siendo la torre Eiffel el cimborrio de transmisión energética. Se dice que el nombre viene de una batalla que nunca se dió, pues los franceses se establecieron en la isla gaditana del Trocadero para intentar tomar Cadiz, pero como se sabe, nunca consiguieron entrar, allí estuvieron tirando cohetes y las gaditanas haciéndose con ellos tirabuzones como dice la canción. Pero eso no importa, porque el nombre era lo importante. El trocadero era una isla sagrada, el punto sin tributos ni jurisdicción, donde cualquier trato o intercambio comercial era franco y totalmente posible. Trocadero viene de trocar, y éste a su vez de TRUCAR, la isla del truco, "Te truco esto por lo otro" como se dice en Andalucía, trucar es intercambiar una cosa por otra equivalente. Trucar es también darse la mano en señal de acuerdo. ¿Truco o trato? Del mismo modo, en el Trocadero de Paris es donde se hace hoy el gran intercambio energético. El truco es siempre, cambiar una cosa por otra. Teniendo ese poder de amplificación, la ceremonia no podia ser en el estadio, la ceremonia tenía que efectuarse ahí. 01 Enchanté. Lady Gaga sin encanto Pudimos ver como un acordeonista con alas nos daba la bienvenida a los 33 juegos olímpicos de 2024 escrito en números romanos. Empezó el desfile de barcazas con los atletas subidos a ellas y acompañándolo vimos unos chorros de agua que se alternaban cruzándose y proyectándose en recto, lo cual creaba una fila de onces en letras romanas. En muchas imágenes pudimos ver tres de estos grupos formando un 33. La magia de la televisión hizo que la gente creyese que Lady Gaga estaba actuando en directo en una escalera dorada colocada en el Sena. No fue así, como algunos usuarios mostraron en video de lo que realmente estaba sucediendo en directo. La cantante norteamericana no actuó de si misma sino que hizo una copia rosa de una actuación de cabaret sin ningún encanto. El color rosa estuvo muy presente en toda la ceremonia. Lo más destacable de la actuación de la Gaga fue que los bailarines hicieron la representación de 10 números 8 con sus pompones de plumas siendo ella el numero 11. Este año hemos tenido un montón de números 88 o eventos donde el 8 ha estado presente como la venida a España del señor Puigdemont precisamente un 8 del mes 8 del 2024, los 88 años del asesinato de Federico García Lorca o la muerte de Alain Delon con 88 años y recordemos que «Saturno» es el planeta que corresponde al número 8. Curiosamente la escena de esta ceremonia que ha creado más controversia de las 12 ha sido la octava llamada Festivité (Festividad). No hace falta que les contemos que la actriz y cantante lady Gaga es considerada dentro del mundo de la conspiración como una de las mayores sacerdotisas del culto de las élites psicopatas que detentan el poder. Aqui la podemos ver en unas fotos en el Capitolio cuando vendió el tema del covid y las mascarillas con un look que daba miedo. Desgraciadamente es un icono para muchos jóvenes que terminan imitando lo que hacen estos ídolos de barro que destilan satanismo por los cuatro costados. Aquí la vemos en una de las fiestas de spirit cooking, “cocina espiritual”, acompañando a Marina Abramovic donde se relamen comiendo y bebiendo “supuesta sangre” de modelos convertidos en altares humanos. El fantasma de la Ópera portador de la luz nos mostraba lo que es chic mientras hacía parkour por los tejados de París. Evidentemente todo lo chic tenia que estar relacionado con el Moulin-Rouge o los obeliscos que adornan París. Bailarines del Moulin-Rouge interpretaron una coreografía de cancán francés, adaptada de "Galop infernal d'Orphée aux enfers" (Galope infernal de Orfeo a los infiernos) que yo creo que es la canción más famosa de este tipo de baile. En dicha canción la letra dice así: “Baco, mi alma voluble, que no podía estar haciendo ¡Con la felicidad en la tierra, aspira a ti, divino Baco! ¡Saluda a la sacerdotisa cuya voz cantará sin cesar sobre la embriaguez a tus elegidos!” Evidentemente el baile habla de caer rendido ante Baco y ser parasitado por el como suele pasar en el trance alcohólico mas intenso llamado Delirium tremens. 02 Synchronicité arrítmica Nos muestran las obras de reconstrucción de Notre-Dame donde destacan los intrincados andamiajes para volver a reconstruir el techo. El aire y el Sol son los dos elementos que se representan aqui por eso vemos que los obreros llevan unos monos de color azulado con las terminaciones de brazos y pies en dorado. El dorado será el color principal de este acto ya que luego nos hablarán de la fabricación de las medallas. Los obreros están colgados de forma que parece que puedan volar y se integren con el cielo. Vemos también una alegoría a los maestros constructores, a los masones, dandole forma a la piedra. Luego veremos una danza homenaje de 420 personas a los equipos de reconstrucción de Notre-Dame tras el incendio de 2019. Y precisamente no estaban muy sincronizados. Una enorme capa de color dorado preside toda la representación. Están danzando en leche lo que para mi simboliza que están recogiendo los frutos de la destrucción de la Catedral de Notre Dame. Nos muestran cómo se confeccionan las medallas olímpicas con especial dedicación en los estuches Louis Vuitton que las portan y los tres armarios donde se guardan. Esta marca se dedica desde 1854 a fabricar los “envases” donde se protegerán las cosas de valor como trajes, sombreros o joyas. Más tarde el propio contenedor pasaría a ser considerado un objeto de lujo y una pieza de arte. Resulta desagradable ver como los obreros se colocan debajo de la pesada carga que es uno de estos baúles que contendrán las medallas olímpicas. Por cierto, aqui podemos ver a Djokovic rezando ante este baúl. Y es que los héroes que crea el poder-religión para que existan dos bandos y por tanto se genere la dualidad que les permita generar dos polos energéticos son muy necesarios para mantener el sistema tal y como esta. La supuesta revolución anti vacunas que genero este tenista al negarse a inocularse la supuesta vacuna del covid queda empañada cuando miramos en profundidad los hechos. Es más que evidente que este ídolo de masas acompaña sus fotos icónicas con los mismos signos, en este caso el ojo de Horus, que el resto de iconos mundiales. Aquí vemos como su hermana, que es la que gestiona su fundación para apoyar a los niños, le manda un mensaje de agradecimiento a Marina Abramovic que parece que en este video es nuestro portador de la oscuridad. También pidió apoyo a los Clinton en 2013. Un verdadero despierto y más siendo cristiano jamás habría besado de esa manera la medalla satánica de los JJOO de París en forma de hexágono. Luego vemos cómo se forjan las medallas olímpicas, a la antigua usanza en un crisol. Lo cual es una soberana mentira ya que las medallas olímpicas cada vez contienen menos oro. Según la información oficial, en los Juegos Olímpicos de París 2024, la medalla de oro contiene aproximadamente 529 gramos de plata y 6 gramos de oro. Aproximadamente un 1% es suficiente para darle el distintivo brillo dorado. Así que parece que no es oro todo lo que reluce. Tras la asíncrona danza pudimos ver al jorobado de NotreDame sujeto en una aguja coronada por un gallo, supuestamente sobreviviente al incendio de la catedral. Lo que no nos contaron es que el techo de Notre Dame estaba en estado ruinoso y que los materiales empleados en su construcción y la de la aguja impedían realizar un trabajo de restauración de forma económica. El cobre, el plomo y los compuestos venenosos derivados por su exposición al aire habían creado como en el caso de las torres gemelas con el amianto un factor determinante para ser elegido como sacrificable. Eso si, unos días antes se encargaron de retirar dieciséis estatuas de cobre de la aguja de la catedral de Notre-Dame para ser restauradas junto a las famosísimas gárgolas. Notre Dame y la mezquita Al-Aqsa, en Jerusalén, el tercer lugar más sagrado del islam ardían al mismo tiempo en plena semana santa. 03 Liberté pero sin cuello Tras ver el ojo rojo de HAL, Liberté es el único rótulo que da comienzo a un acto donde las letras aparecen poco a poco, en este caso en tres fases en clara alusión a las tres palabras que nos han quedado de la Revolución francesa: Libertad, Igualdad y Fraternidad. Estas tres palabras darán paso a los actos tercero, cuarto y quinto en claro homenaje a esta falsa Revolución. Y es que la misma palabra, revolución, ya nos indica su propia falsedad. Una revolución consiste en una vuelta entera de un eje en sus 360 grados para volver al mismo sitio, y en eso han consistido todas las falsas revoluciones hasta el momento. El verdadero poder-religión se ha mantenido como eje y nosotros tan solo hemos dado vueltas como tontos. Hablar de Francia es hablar de la Revolución Francesa y hablar de la Revolución Francesa es hablar de masonería por mucho que el autoproclamado mayor experto en el tema en España, el señor García Trevijano, nunca hablase sobre ello y optase por esquivarlo ante preguntas directas. También calló siempre sobre su pertenencia a la masonería por otra parte. Muchos autores modernos han hablado sobre esto, yo desde luego os recomendaría que leyerais los dos trabajos de Jüri Lina “Bajo el Signo del Escorpión” y “Arquitectos del engaño: La historia secreta de la masonería” y que veáis el estupendo video “REVOLUCION FRANCESA Y MASONERIA” que como es habitual tendréis en la descripción del podcast en Ivoox. En el territorio patrio contamos con autores como Alberto Bárcena Pérez con libros que tratan del asunto de la masonería y la revolución. El primero de ellos se titula “La guerra de la Vendée: una cruzada en la revolución”. Donde nos cuenta desde su punto de vista católico (El es profesor de la Universidad CEU San Pablo) una de las facetas más desconocidas de la revolución francesa que es el genocidio y represión que llevaron a cabo los revolucionarios en el Oeste de Francia, en dicho departamento. Con episodios como el bombardeo con cañones como método más expeditivo y práctico que el fusilamiento de prisioneros de guerra (civiles incluidos). Hundimiento de barcas en el río con personas atadas dentro y todo tipo de atrocidades, violaciones, asesinatos etc etc. Por contra en la novela histórica de “Viva la república” de Blasco Ibáñez ante tan importantes acontecimientos históricos, no cabe duda acerca de la actitud del narrador, en absoluto objetiva ni imparcial, aun cuando no silencie e incluso llegue a condenar los horrores consecuencia de los hechos de esa fuerza desbordada que es la masa popular. Contemporánea de Blasco tenemos a la escritora Nesta Helen Webster con obras como “The French Revolution”, “Revolución mundial; el complot contra la civilización” donde habla de los illuminatis y “Secret societies” donde obviamente habla de la masonería entre otras muchas. Pero si hay un libro que deja el tema claro es “Memorias para servir a la historia del jacobinismo” escrito por el abate Barruel y traducido al castellano en 1813. Allí nos explica como los iluminados de Baviera y la masonería fueron los iniciadores y los jacobinos los ejecutores. Se abrieron logias por toda Francia para difundir la ideas revolucionarias. Luego se cerraron las logias de los pobres, las de nivel seguirían abiertas. Desde una torre octogonal nuestro amigo el portador de la luz nos muestra la ciudad de París para ir después a ver la representación de la Revolución francesa en un teatro y pasar luego a un primer plano de una guillotinada Maria Antonieta. Un octágono es la suma de dos cuadrados girados o si se prefiere es la forma de ver en cuatro dimensiones a un cubo llamado hipercubo: “Octágono que no es más que un cuadrado encima de otro cuadrado. Un cuadrado encima de otro es más simbolismo de sociedades secretas. En el lenguaje secreto de simbolismo un cuadrado encima de otro significa control sobre todo lo que está bien y todo lo que está mal. De nuevo relativismo moral. Todo lo que es justo y todo lo que es injusto. La ley del hombre. Todo lo que es positivo y todo lo que es negativo. En otras palabras. Nosotros controlamos todo. El hipercubo es un símbolo del oscuro ocultismo no específicamente del satanismo pero desde luego un símbolo oculto profundamente oscuro. El hipercubo es uno de los símbolos más ocultos dentro de todo oscuro ocultismo. Sin embargo se encuentra prevalentemente en toda nuestra sociedad en la forma de simplismo octogonal. Y como ya veremos la proyección de dos dimensiones del hipercubo es un octágono que es una representación de un objeto de cuatro dimensiones.” Los templarios fueron uno de los que utilizaron la magia que encierra esta figura geométrica en sus construcciones, sobre todo en las torres. La artesanía mudéjar o los caballeros de Malta también utilizan este simbolismo, pero sin duda donde es más utilizado es dentro de las organizaciones que mas control ejercen, el ejercito y la policia. La Conciergerie o Palais de la Cité, es un edificio histórico de París que ocupa el muelle del Reloj, en la Isla de la Cité, en el Premier arrondissement. El palacio fue residencia de los reyes de Francia de los siglos x a xiv. Terminó convertido en prisión del Estado en 1392. La prisión de la Conciergerie estuvo considerada, durante el Terror, como la antecámara de la muerte. Pocos fueron los que salieron libres de la prisión. Entre los que no, la reina María Antonieta, encarcelada aquí en 1793. El grupo heavy elegido para este acto fue Gojira cuyas letras nos hablan del medio ambiente, del espiritualismo y lo trascendental aunque aqui podemos verlos riéndose de la crucifixión de Jesucristo. Pero aqui se trata de sangre. Debemos recordar que la Revolución francesa fue cosa de masones y como su lema no eran solo 3 palabras sino 4: Libertad, Igualdad, Fraternidad o la muerte. La canción que tocó Gojira en la Ceremonia de Inauguración de los Juegos Olímpicos 2024 fue “Ah, ça ira” de Édith Piaf, una canción revolucionaria de 1790 que hace un llamado a la lucha y libertad contra la aristocracia. La cantante de ópera Marina Viotti, terminó el show desplazándose en un barco con una vela brillante, o sea iluminada, tras el apoteosis de sangre. O sea, hubo que cortar cabezas para traeros la iluminación. Esto es lo que decía la canción del grupo heavy: “Ah, eso servirá. ¡Así se hace! ¡Eso es! ¡Colgaremos a los aristócratas! El castigo para vosotros está a punto de comenzar Porque el pueblo reclama sus derechos. Habéis pagado bien por nuestras cabezas ¡Se acabó, reyes! Ya no podemos contar con los nuestros Ahora compraremos las vuestras Porque somos nosotros los que hacemos la ley. ¡Ah, eso servirá! ¡Así se hace! ¡Eso servirá! Los aristócratas en el farol Ah, así se hace ¡Así se hace! ¡Eso es! ¡Colgaremos a los aristócratas!” Después de eso veremos una parte de la libertad que supuestamente nos habla de la libertad sexual donde algunos acróbatas se mantienen en equilibrio vestidos con atrevidos colores. Esta parte de la ceremonia también abordó diversas formas de amor incluidos temas LGBT y poliamor, expresadas por acróbatas de la compañía XY y bailarines. Por ultimo vemos como un trio formado por dos chicos y una chica entran en la Biblioteca Nacional de Francia a mostrar algunos de los libros sobre amor que han cambiado los pensamientos de las personas desde 1732. Uno de los libros es "Le diable au corps" (Con el diablo en el cuerpo), de Raymond Radiguet. 04 Égalité o mejor lo llamamos mezcla En este trozo mezclan dos estilos musicales completamente diferentes porque la igualdad que nos proponen las elites psicopatocarticas en su Agenda 2030 es esa, mezclar oro con estiércol. Para abrir el segmento Égalité (Igualdad), la banda de música de la Guardia Republicana tocó "For me formidable" de Charles Aznavour en la pasarela del Puente de las Artes. La cantante franco-maliense Aya Nakamura interpretó "Pookie", un arreglo de "For me formidable" y su éxito "Djadja", frente al Institut de France acompañado por el Coro del Ejército Francés y músicos de la Guardia Republicana. Esta es parte de le letra de esta última canción: “Te hiciste el hermano mayor para ensuciarme Estás buscando problemas sin querer Maldita sea, me estás jodiendo Así no es cómo hacemos las cosas Maldita sea, me estás jodiendo Así no es cómo hacemos las cosas Maldita sea, me estás jodiendo” Y este el estribillo: “Oh, Djadja Pero de ninguna manera, Djadja Yo no soy tu perra, Djadja En la de perrito, te crees lo máximo, nene” La verdad es que a uno se le revuelve el estómago con tanta mezcla y tanto disfraz cutre. (fotos 04 Égalité 05 y 04 Égalité 06.jpg) No es que Charles Aznavour sea uno de mis cantantes favoritos pero les invito a buscar la letra de su canción y compararla…desde luego no son dos gotas de agua. Y hablando de agua yo me pregunto porque no han utilizado la Geoingeniería criminal que emplean constantemente contra nosotros y han permitido que lloviese afeando un poco el espectáculo. ¿Quizás para que los conspiranoicos no podamos decir que existe tal tecnologia? 05 Fraternité enemiga de la verdad La quinta secuencia, Fraternité (Fraternidad), comenzó con la "Danza macabra" de Camille Saint-Saëns y hacía referencia al robo de la Mona Lisa del Louvre en 1911. Nos muestran una de las esculturas icónicas del museo del Louvre, la Victoria alada de Samotracia, a la que le faltan los brazos y la cabeza. Lo que mucha gente desconoce es que su descubridor, Charles Champoiseau, cónsul francés en el Imperio otomano para Napoleón III recibió la legión de honor por tal descubrimiento. Esta escultura aparecerá también en la ceremonia de clausura. En esta parte lo verdaderamente importante es el propio museo, su colocación en esa posición exacta a 3333 metros del arco del triunfo. Les recomiendo la lectura de VISIONES DE UN MUNDO OCULTO (1) PARÍS, LA CITÉ DES LUMIERES de Vae Victis donde nos destripa gran parte del esoterismo arquitectónico de París. Mostrándonos por ejemplo el llamado eje histórico que alinea los mayores monumentos. Una foto satelital del eje histórico de París muestra como algunas construcciones relevantes trazan una línea recta sobre el territorio a lo largo de casi 8 kilómetros, desde el Arco de la Defensa hasta las puertas del Louvre. Allí tenemos al Louvre y su pirámide acristalada iluminada en la noche parisina. Ali se realizó la famosa foto de la victoria de Macron, el que esta unido a la familia Rothschild, a la masonería y aficionado a realizar cornutos y otros gestos como el de la pirámide. Poca gente sabe que la pirámide del Louvre contiene una pirámide invertida mas pequeña dentro. Se dice que entre las dos contienen 666 cristales, aunque un servidor los ha contado y son 673. Da igual, lo importante es pensar en la estructura como una alusión al concepto hermético “Como es arriba, es abajo”. Ademas de saber que ha sido utilizada en extraños rituales como el efectuado por el cambio climático el 27-9-2019. Así que es normal que algunas de las n de cuadros famosos escapen de sus lienzos y miren por la ventana el Sena aunque allí el espectáculo no sea tampoco muy tranquilizador. Vemos en el río diferentes cabezas que salen del agua pero todas en una forma que resulta dañarnos a la vista ya que están a punto de ahogarse. Me recuerda el caso de Omayra Sánchez, una niña de 13 años que murió frente a las cámaras de televisión tras luchar por su vida durante tres días. Aquello fue emitido por TV y ha sido aprovechado como publicidad hasta en festivales musicales. Creo que es una forma sibilina de decirnos que los océanos están aumentado de altura porque se derriten los polos, lo que es una falacia enorme. Curiosamente mientras llovía a mares en París un pianista tocaba “juegos de agua”, de Maurice Ravel. La ceremonia se trasladó al Museo de Orsay y rindió homenaje a la ciencia de la imagen, en particular a los cineastas franceses, los hermanos Lumière y Georges Méliès, junto con obras de la literatura infantil francesa como El Principito. A través del cine y de la literatura fantástica han logrado traernos hasta aqui y las mentiras son cada vez más grandes. Vemos como el reloj marca las 9 y 49 pero desde dentro marca las 3 y 18. Nos están diciendo que ellos controlan el tiempo y que simplemente se mantienen como observadores mostrándonos una estatua de la libertad en ruinas y como colofón la Estación espacial internacional que es el sumun de las mentiras. La Estación Espacial Internacional, revela un periscopio amarillo que muestra una secuencia animada de un submarino que presenta a los Minions de Illumination realizando varios eventos deportivos en un submarino con la Mona Lisa emergiendo del Sena después de que el submarino implosionara. Estos «mini demonios amarillos» mas conocidos por Minions utilizan justamente el color amarillo por ser el opuesto o complementario al azul. Por supuesto su creador, Pierre Coffin es un conocido masón. Ya saben que los antiguos genios o antiguos demonios de la antigüedad eran representados de azul. Recuerden que oficialmente la G que portan en pecho es por su villano GRU, no por la G de la masonería y que la compañía se llame Ilumination es una casualidad. La mezzosoprano negra Axelle Saint-Cirel representó la personificación nacional de la Marianne, cantando el himno nacional francés usando un vestido Dior con la bandera francesa en lo alto del Grand Palais. Nosotros no somos racistas, pero la Marianne era blanca y hay buenas cantantes de opera de ese color. 06 Sororité que promulga el aborto La sexta secuencia, Sororité (Sororidad, hermandad entre mujeres), destacó a 11 mujeres francesas notables que resurgían de unas bases con estatuas doradas a lo largo del Sena: Olympe de Gouges, Alice Milliat, Gisèle Halimi, Paulette Nardal, Jeanne Barret, Christine de Pizan, Louise Michel, Alice Guy, Simone Veil y Simone de Beauvoir. Curiosamente la estatua de esta última no se levantó durante la ceremonia y ni siquiera apareció por TV pero allí estaba su pedestal. Brevemente hablaremos de las dos ultimas mujeres, ambas promulgadoras del feminismo y del aborto. Simone Veil que fue una abogada y política francesa, superviviente del Holocausto. Fue ministra de Sanidad y promulgó la ley llamada ley Veil por la que se despenalizó el aborto en Francia. También presidio el parlamento europeo. Simone de Beauvoir, fue una filósofa, profesora, escritora y activista feminista francesa. Su pareja fue el filósofo Jean-Paul Sartre. Figura andrógina e icono del feminismo mas radical que mezclaba también el comunismo y la promulgación del aborto libre. Recomendaría ver el magnífico video que hizo Pedro Bustamante haciéndose la pregunta ¿Simone de Beauvoir fue un hombre? 07 Sportivité del perro y la cabra La séptima secuencia, Sportivité (Deportividad), reanudó el desfile de barcos con algunas de las delegaciones que menos medallas olímpicas han obtenido, suponemos que por casualidad. Vemos reproducidos los jardines de Versalles en unas barcazas. Los participantes llevan ropas acorde al siglo que representan, vemos un tipo llevando una gorra como el general De Gaulle con un 20 en números romanos a la espalda. El contratenor polaco Jakub Józef Orliński interpretó una pieza barroca, seguido por el rapero Rim'K cantando “King” vestido de rojo y negro y encima de un ajedrezado de cuadrados blancos y negros. La letra de la canción nos vende un futuro de superhombres si nos unimos: “¿Cuántos escollos y trampas hay en mi camino? No quiero ser un superhéroe, sólo un superhumano sigo adelante sin miedo al mañana La esperanza en mi corazón, el futuro en mis manos Saqué la bandera tan blanca y pura como la paloma (Brrr ) Todos juntos podríamos unirnos y cambiar el mundo (Oh) Sólo un día de paz para detener las bombas Sólo un día lluvioso para ocultar mis lágrimas que caen Conozco todos los callejones de París incluso con los ojos cerrados. Quiero convertirme en el Príncipe de ciudades como Michel Berger. Centrado en los puntos ciegos, estoy haciendo un buen trabajo. Viajo en un Low Rider, me gusta Snoop Dogg.” Vamos a centrarnos en este rapero multimillonario llamado Snoop Dogg lo que podría traducirse por perro husmeador. Vamos a ver que esto sigue la relación con SIRIO la estrella negra, la estrella de la constelación del perro, del verano, de la canícula veraniega. Han elevado a los altares a un delincuente y traficante de drogas que no cuenta precisamente cosas buena en sus letras a los niños y lo han exaltado como estrella a imitar en estos juegos. Debemos fijarnos en el pañuelo doblado adrede para que las estrellas de 5 puntas estén invertidas o en su inseparable colgante con la cabra que nos recuerda a la Baronesa Philippine W.P Rothschild. Aquí tuvimos a COBI, una mascota perro para celebrar nuestros juegos olímpicos. 08 Festivité Fiesta, pero pagana Y llegamos al octavo acto, que como hemos dicho y no podia ser otro por ser este año el año del ocho, ha sido el que ha tenido repercusión mundial generando un rechazo mayúsculo. Vemos un puente convertido en una pasarela de moda, de lo que ellos deciden que debemos vestir, que a su vez y como luego veremos se convierte en la mesa de la última cena. Importante es destacar que en cada tramo del puente hay colgados 6 fluorescentes y que la imagen de la cámara está diseñada para enfocar tres tramos por lo que subliminalmente veremos un 666. Por supuesto el barco con la delegación francesa aparece por allí justo cuando ha cruzado el puente el portador de la luz. Luego aparece el azul con un tributo a la Unión Europea mediante la canción "The Final Countdown" y un espectáculo de drones alrededor de la Torre Eiffel formando las 12 estrellas de la bandera de la UE. Después podemos ver a los ciudadanos que celebraban en la barcaza de la unión europea como empiezan a bailar pareciendo zombies. Por supuesto no falta el ajedrezado masónico en el suelo o en su vestuario. Y es que la magia de las logias se produce en dicha pista blanquinegra. Nos avisan con unos fogonazos azules de que lo mejor está al llegar diciéndonos que estamos unidos en la diversidad. Muy pronto nos servirán a Dioniso como si fuese un pavo. Veamos que es lo que se nos dice que representaba la parte que ha generado más controversia: “Philippe Katerine, casi desnudo y pintado como un Dioniso azul (el dios griego del vino, en homenaje a la industria vitivinícola francesa y a los antiguos Juegos Olímpicos griegos), interpretó "Nu", tumbado en el centro de una larga mesa con los participantes de la pasarela posando de una manera que recuerda a una fiesta de bacanal. La banda sonora de las primeras ocho secuencias incluía clásicos reorganizados de la canción francesa y la cultura pop mezclados por la DJ Barbara Butch. La parte del DJ del segmento se interpretó como una referencia al cuadro de Leonardo da Vinci La última cena, al cuadro de Jan van Bijlert Le Festin des Dieux y a la relación entre Dioniso y su hija Sequana, la diosa del Sena.” Philippe Katerine canta “Nu”, desnudo, aunque por motivos obvios no va desnudo aunque les gustaria, pero nos canta que desnudos no habría guerras y que seríamos como animales que nunca se exceden. Pero nosotros creemos reconocer en el a Dioniso, el más juerguista de los dioses que con su borrachera nos posee y nos hace hacer cosas inimaginables con sus caretas dionisiacas. Me pregunto porque es necesario mezclar a niños con drag queens, con hombres disfrazados de mujer a los que el dios azul vuelve locos. Todos desnudos para que el ritual pueda fluir, desde luego este supuesto dios azul da paso al siguiente acto llamado oscuridad. De la DJ Barbara Butch diremos poca cosa, que procede de padre y madre judíos y que es la figura central de una burla pagana al cuadro de la última cena de Leonardo da Vinci. Coincido con Hector en verla como Hecate con su corona de espinas guiando a los pobres mortales al inframundo. Desde luego esta recreación no se basa en el cuadro “Festín de los dioses” de Bellini ni en “Festin de los dioses” de Van Bijlert y vemos clara la burla al cristianismo. 09 Obscurité iluminada del Nuevo Orden Mundial La novena secuencia, Obscurité (Oscuridad), continuó desde Festivité, con la música volviéndose más oscura y los bailarines a bordo de la barcaza volviéndose más frenéticos. Vemos como los cuadrados blancos y negros de la pista de baile se empiezan a degradar y la Torre Eiffel adquiría un color rojo sangre mientras los bailarines parecen muñecos rotos sin identidad propia. Mientras su piso LED mostraba un montaje de varios desastres climáticos, los bailarines se desplomaron lentamente, uno por uno, tiñendo toda la pista de baile de rojo. Evidentemente nos están hablando de los planes eugenistas de la elite psicópata. ¿Se trataran de las repentinitis que estamos viendo tras el Covid? Mientras el Sena se oscurecía, Juliette Armanet apareció en una balsa cantando "Imagine" como parte de un llamado a la paz, acompañada por Sofiane Pamart en un piano en llamas. Decir que esta canción de Lennon es el himno del Nuevo Orden Mundial es quedarnos cortos. ¿Por qué decimos que la canción imagine es el himno del nuevo orden mundial? Pongan atención a las frases clave: “Imagina que no existe el Cielo Imagina a toda la gente viviendo el hoy Imagina que no hay países ni tampoco religión Puedes decir que soy un soñador pero no soy el único espero que algún día (TU) te unas a nosotros y el mundo vivirá como uno (el nuevo orden mundial ecuménico)” Es importante resaltar que dentro del mundo del satanismo el numero importante es el 9 y no el 666 como nos tienen acostumbrados por los medios, el cine o la TV. En la biblia se dice que el 666 es el numero del hombre lo cual nos lleva al átomo de carbono que está formado por 6 neutrones, seis protones y seis electrones, la molécula de la vida, el ADN no existiría sin carbono. Es por esto, que han elegido precisamente el acto nueve para denominarlo oscuridad en clara referencia a sus principios satánicos. Mark Passió, un ex satanista nos dice que esconde el número 9: “El número nueve es el número de Satán en el satanismo. Y ya he explicado anteriormente porque. Y brevemente lo haré de nuevo. Estas son las palabras de La Vey del libro «los rituales satánicos«. A pesar de otros intentos de identificar un cierto número y se está refiriendo al número seis-seis-seis (666). Con Satán se conocerá que el nueve es el número. El nueve es el número de Satán. El nueve es el número del ego. Te lo está diciendo todo aquí mismo. Lo que representa. El nueve es el número del ego ya que siempre regresa a sí mismo. Independientemente de lo que se haga mediante la más compleja multiplicación del nueve por cualquier otro número en la ecuación final sólo el nueve permanecerá. Así que veamos esta columna de la izquierda en este gráfico. 1+9=10=1 2+9=11=2 Uno más nueve es diez. Si añadimos el uno más cero del diez obtenemos uno. Así que comenzamos con uno añadimos nueve y luego al hacer la suma del resultado del diez, es decir el uno más el cero regresamos al uno. Así que comenzamos con uno y regresamos al uno. Si tomamos el número dos y añadimos nueve el resultado es once. Y uno más uno son dos. Así que comenzamos con dos y regresamos al dos. Independientemente del número con el que hagas esto con el número nueve siempre regresará a sí mismo. Qué significa. Que añadir nueve en la simbología numérica conocida como la Gematría es como añadir cero. Nunca añades nada cuando añades nueve. ¿Y qué es lo que representa el nueve? La Vey nos lo acaba de decir representa el ego. Pues cuando añades el ego en cualquier cosa ningún valor es añadido. No tienes ningún incremento. Permanece exactamente dónde está cuando se continuó añadiendo el ego. El ego no cambia nada. Ahora veamos la multiplicación del número nueve. 9*1=9 9*2=18=1+8=9 9*3=27=2+7=9 Nueve por uno es nueve. Nueve por dos es dieciocho y uno más ocho es nueve. Nueve por tres veintisiete. Dos más siete es nueve. Nueve por cuatro trenta y seis. Tres más seis son nueve. Nueve por cinco cuarenta y cinco. Cuatro más cinco es nueve. Independientemente cuán complejo sea el número que se multiplica al nueve la suma de los dígitos del resultado siempre devolverá el nueve ¿Simbólicamente que representa esto? Cuando el ego (el nueve) es multiplicado por cualquier cosa siempre regresa a sí mismo. Más ego es creado y no hay ningún cambio, comenzaste con nueve terminas con nueve, vale. Así que qué tiene esto que ver con el otro número del que habla La Vey. Pues él dice que no queremos identificarnos con el otro número seis-seis-seis (666). El así llamado número de la bestia. Pero si miramos la Gematría. Seis más seis más seis son dieciocho, uno más ocho son nueve. Eso significa en Gematría que el 666 es equivalente numerológicamente al nueve. Por eso el número de Satán es el 666, el nueve. Es una verdad matemática codificada. Y así es básicamente como funciona la oculta Gematría para simbolizar conceptos.Una manera simbólica muy embriagadora de explicar un concepto. Pero, como suelen decir, las matemáticas no mienten.” La noche del 27 al 28 a las 23:40 tras la ceremonia de inauguración de los juegos olímpicos hubo un corte eléctrico en cuatro distritos de París y 85.000 usuarios se quedaron sin luz durante 10 minutos. La propia Torre Eiffel perdió su luz. En ese momento una tuitera colgó una foto donde solo se iluminó la iglesia del sagrado corazón, en el monte de los mártires, indicando que todo está ya preparado para el RITUAL DEL SACRIFICIO. Desde luego ese piano ardiendo a la deriva nos recordó a un funeral vikingo y la próxima escena nos lo deja claro, están hablando de la oscuridad tras la muerte, la nuestra, por supuesto. 10 Solidarité a la mano izquierda 1001 Oficialmente la décima secuencia, la que debería ser de Dios, Solidarité (Solidaridad), mostraba a un jinete enmascarado que representaba a la heroína francesa Juana de Arco llevando una bandera olímpica como capa junto con una armadura plateada y negra, montando un caballo mecánico metálico a lo largo del Sena para difundir el espíritu de los Juegos. Este segmento hizo referencia a Pierre de Coubertin y la historia de los Juegos Olímpicos, con numerosas imágenes de archivo y momentos destacados de Juegos pasados. Los voluntarios que portaban las banderas de los países participantes se reunieron bajo la Torre Eiffel. Creemos en realidad que el jinete enmascarado es el mismo enmascarado que ha venido acompañándonos durante toda la ceremonia y que no es otro que Caronte. Lo vimos abrir el desfile de las barcas tras él, atrayendo a todos esos países al Nuevo Orden Mundial y ahora lo vemos llevando tras él a todas esas naciones de nuevo. En cuanto a que un caballo cabalgue por el agua volvemos a ver una burla al cristianismo cuando Jesús caminó por el agua y tenemos en cuenta las palabras escritas en Apocalipsis 6:8 El jinete apareció sobre un caballo blanco y desfila por la Torre Eiffel que hace de pasarela y desde su perspectiva toma el camino de la mano izquierda. “El camino de la mano izquierda” significa utilizar la magia para hacer el mal, utilizarla de forma más agresiva para lastimar a los demás y romper su voluntad o hacerlo de forma inmoral, antiética o maligna. Lleva esta bandera olímpica doblada a un mástil en el Trocadéro justo frente a las estatuas del toro y el ciervo. Les ofrece un truco o trato a todos esos países que aceptan gustosos la implantación del Nuevo Orden Mundial. Vemos como las alas de Isis están presentes en esta ceremonia pagana mostrándonos caballos voladores como en tradiciones como la India. La Torre Eiffel del Trocadero está en posición invertida a la torre real. Si nos fijamos en la foto en la real la luz está en la punta y en la que está en el Trocadero todos los focos estarán en la base que es donde se realizaran las cosas solemnes. Se han vuelto virales los recuerdos de la Torre Eiffel invertida en forma de antorcha. El Himno Olímpico fue interpretado por el Coro de Radio Francia con la Escuela Coral de Radio France y la Orquesta Nacional de Francia mientras miembros de las Fuerzas Armadas francesas izaban la bandera, que accidentalmente fue colocada al revés, o eso nos dice la oficialidad. Mientras es izada al revés los dos coros, uno vestido de negro riguroso y otro con los colores de la bandera francesa cantan adoptando la posición de pirámide truncada invertida. Ya sabemos que la inversión es parte fundamental de los rituales oscuros. 11 Solennité en la hora del pacto Tony Estanguet, presidente del Comité Organizador de los Juegos de París 2024, da un discurso del que nos quedamos con dos frases: “Queridos deportistas, un fragmento de la Torre Eiffel estará en el centro de cada una de vuestras medallas.” “De hecho, fueron los Juegos los que nos hicieron crecer. Vinieron a recordarnos que, aunque en Francia nunca nos ponemos de acuerdo en nada, en los momentos importantes sabemos cómo unir nuestras fuerzas.” La primera frase nos recuerda que cada medalla olímpica estará adornada con una pieza metálica hexagonal creada con el hierro original utilizado en la construcción de la Torre Eiffel. Esto es posible porque durante el siglo pasado se realizaron trabajos para modernizar los ascensores de la Torre Eiffel. Como resultado, se retiraron secciones de “la Dama de Hierro” de forma permanente y se conservaron para el futuro. "Decidimos añadir este hexágono [que representa la forma de Francia] de la misma manera que lo haríamos con una piedra preciosa, en el centro y colocado como el elemento más precioso de la medalla", apunta Clémentine Massonnat, responsable de las actividades creativas de Chaumet la joyería que ha creado las medallas. Tiene guasa el nombre, Masson…nat, pero más inquina tiene la forma hexagonal que han añadido, yo supongo que para añadir peso y deshacerse de la chatarra, ja, ja, ja. Les recomiendo que lean mi artículo OSCURO OCULTISMO EN HIPERCUBOS, HEXÁGONOS Y OCTÁGONOS. Allí intentó explicarles porque están relacionados el 9 y el 11 con el hexágono que es la figura que se genera en su interior cuando expresamos esas dos cifras en números romanos. Son la escuadra y el compás cruzados entre las dos columnas del templo masónico, o emblemas sagrados en religiones mistéricas como el hexagrama de Salomón o el “Auspice Maria” bajo la protección de Maria del cristianismo. 1105a The glow of sirius, the blazing star, el resplandor de Sirio, la estrella ardiente son directamente los rayos del brillo de sirio, la estrella ardiente de las logias. Medallas con el cubo de Saturno (seth) en su interior, y en el centro la llama robada de la sabiduría. Aunque cambien nombres y los encripten, siempre son los mismos símbolos. El cubo, la Matrix de Saturno o Seth. Nosotros no podemos despejar sus dudas como despejaron los aviones de París durante la ceremonia de apertura de los JJOO, pero sabemos que el hexágono que es la forma 2D en que se ve un cubo en 3D es un símbolo muy poderoso que todos quieren utilizar. Como la selección francesa y su gallo dentro de un hexágono, nótese que las tres efes pueden entenderse como tres seises ya que la f corresponde al 6 en el alfabeto. El hexágono es una forma natural que representa a toda la humanidad, hombres y mujeres, como pueden ver en este esquema donde también se muestra como los pedófilos utilizan asimismo esos símbolos primigenios. Es el mal uso que se dé a un símbolo lo que lo convierte en maligno, neutro o benigno. En cuanto a la segunda frase parece indicar que siguen con sus planes de unificar al mundo entero en su ya desnortado Nuevo Orden Mundial. El Juramento Olímpico lo prestaron los abanderados franceses Mélina Robert-Michon y Florent Manaudou, el entrenador Christophe Massina y un árbitro de lucha libre. Zinedine Zidane tomó la llama olímpica del portador enmascarado y se la entregó al tenista español Rafael Nadal, quien llevó la llama por el Sena en barco junto con los campeones olímpicos Carl Lewis, Serena Williams y Nadia Comăneci. Un juego de luces en la Torre Eiffel nos anuncia que el pacto está cerrado. ¿El pacto con quién? Obviamente con Lucifer. El ojo que todo lo ve nos observa desde la dama de hierro. Y lo dejan claro con el tema elegido para cerrar, un tema del musico Cerrone titulado Supernaturaleza mientras el cantante es iluminado con cuatro focos que le dan el aspecto de una estrella de cinco puntas: “Érase una vez La ciencia abrió la puerta Alimentaríamos los campos hambrientos Tilll ya no podían comer Pero la poción que hicimos Tocó a las criaturas abajo Y crecen de alguna manera Que nunca habíamos visto antes Supernaturaleza, supernaturaleza, supernaturaleza, supernaturaleza Estaban enojados con el hombre Causa cambió su forma de vida Y toman su dulce venganza Mientras pisotean toda la noche Por cien millas o más Se podía oír llorar a la gente Pero no hay nada que puedas hacer Incluso Dios está de su lado Dios está encendido, Dios está encendido, Dios está de su lado Supernaturaleza, supernaturaleza, supernaturaleza, supernaturaleza Los coches romperán la luz Ven fluyendo en el aire La criatura decidirá ¿Quién va a dónde? ¿Cómo puedo explicarlo? Las cosas son diferentes hoy en día Oscuridad alrededor Nadie hace un sonido Qué triste afable A nadie parece importar

Stamford Chidge & Jonathan Kydd are joined by Mark Meehan to look back at another Jekyll and Hyde performance by Chelsea, against Brentford.In part one we discuss Pochettino playing 3 at the back and no Sterling. Was it to protect the space around Enzo and Moises and if they're knackered, why not play someone else, like Casadei for example? We discuss the two sides of Jackson as he misses a sitter laughably, scores a great goal, and then rounds it off with ego nonsense with the shushing but...he never gives up!! It was a poor second half as Chelsea conceded twice. Is it a lack of concentration? taking the foot off the gas? Poor mentality? The statistics bear out how poor we are in the second half - first half top six; second half relegation zone!But we did claw it back, well done Disasi but we should never have had to against a poor Brentford side. Same old Chelsea this season Jekyll and Hyde...Caviar and Turds.In part two we ask has Poch lost the away support? There were audible chants against Boehly and Poch and for Abramovich and Mourinho. Is Poch a goner - does he have himself to blame - he's not endeared himself to the fans or made much effort to engage with them? If he was to go would it be the right decision? Would it take us back to square one? He hasn't lost the dressing room so shoudl he go? And whose fault is it really - Putin? Boris Johnson's Tory Govt? Sunak and Dorries? Boehly and Clearwater? Fundamentally, this all changes if we were winning doesn't it - a chant for Roman and Jose is a cry for the return to a winning Chelsea. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

Bersama Chelsea Indonesia, kami membahas lengkap soal Piala Liga Inggris yang akan dimainkan Chelsea pada hari Minggu nanti di laga final Carabao Cup melawan Liverpool!

Nosotros estamos de plácemes porque nos sentimos un poco como se sentían los fans del Chelsea club de fútbol en Londres cuando llegó Roman Abramovich. Y ya ven ustedes lo que fue Abramovich para el Chelsea, aunque ahora ya eso sea historia, pero en su momento los hinchas londinenses de los blues, estaban felices, igual que nosotros en este momento. Es que para Baltimore, al menos para sus seguidores, la llegada de Rubenstein y Arougheti es parecida a la llegada de Messi al Inter de Miami. Es como la llegada de Ronaldo al Valladolid como presidente. Es como cuando Magic Johnson y otros inversores llegaron a los Dodgers e inundaron eso con millones de dólares.

In this episode the team are answering all your questions in a Quaresma's Questions special, including questions on should Gallagher be captain over Reece James, Chelsea's failure in the transfer market and will FFP breaches tarnish our legacy under Abramovich.

For decades, a flood of foreign money has poured into the island of Cyprus, bringing extreme wealth to a few, but leaving the EU member status with a reputation as a shady financial hub.On Tuesday, the eight-month Cyprus Confidential investigation, carried out by dozens of journalists across the globe, revealed the sheer scale of dirty money that has been moved through Cyprus for oligarchs, tyrants, criminals and Russian president Vladamir Putin in recent years.Among them is billionaire and former owner of Chelsea FC, Roman Abramovich, who like many oligarchs was sanctioned in the wake of Russia's invasion of Ukraine in February 2022.But how did Abramovich funnel money through Cypriot financial institutions and what does he buy with these vast sums of cash?Did Abramovich's funding of Chelsea FC breach financial fair play rules? And, what financial investments did the Russian football club owner have in Ireland?Irish Times journalist Colm Keena, who is also a member of the International Consortium of Investigative Journalists which produced Cyprus Confidential, joins the podcast to discuss the how Cyprus fuelled the Kremlin's financial machine in the years leading up to Russia's invasion of Ukraine.Presented by Sorcha Pollak.

Stamford Chidge & Jonathan Kydd are joined by Dean Mears to look back at a familiar defeat at home to Brentford and ahead to Wednesday's Carabao Cup match against Blackburn Rovers.In part one and two we look back to Saturday's 0:2 defeat to Brentford. A horrible case of deja vu as Chelsea fail to convert their chances and then being mugged off with a smash and grab. Is it just as simple as not having a top striker? Did we miss Mudryk and Enzo? And is our unbelievably weak bench a result of injuries or a window in to how far we've fallen?In part two we discuss the poor home atmosphere. Is it a reflection of modern football or a disatisfaction with what is being served up on the pitch? And with Chelsea languishing in mid-table, are there hopes we can turn it round and does this depend on buying a striker in January or do we put faith in our injured players returning?In part three we catch up on todays news regarding Chelsea providing free travel to Wolves, facing possible punishment from the Premier League for financial irregularities under Abramovich and the removal of the Chelsea Supporters Club Israel banner.We wrap up with a look ahead to wednesday's match against Blackburn. Chidge's team selection is discussed and the hope that Poch will take it seriously given it's a chance for a trophy. And we challenge JK and Dean to name the players who 'Played for Both'!

There has been an increase in security screening in Canadian visa applications for residents of several countries. Chen v. Canada (Citizenship and Immigration), 2023 FC 885 is the first Federal Court of Canada decision to discuss mandamus in the study permit context. Mandamus applications are actions to the Federal Court of Canada to compel IRCC to conclude the processing of a delayed application.

Following Roman Abramovich's Chelsea takeover in July 2003, Claudio Ranieri became a "dead man walking", with constant speculation surrounding his job at Stamford Bridge. And after a spectacular collapse against 10-man Monaco in the Champions League semi-final later that season, the Italian's fate was all but sealed. Step forward Jose Mourinho, a recently crowned Champions League winner who, after one incredible press conference, became English football's zeitgeist. The world would evolve around Mourinho in the Premier League and at Chelsea, with the media, fans and his players in awe of him. Just as Abramovich ushered in change in the boardroom, Mourinho would do the same from the dugout. And he was all Chelsea's, ready to sculpt the club's finest generation. This is the inside story of how Jose Mourinho inspired his Chelsea players to greatness. In this episode you will hear from: John Terry, Steve Clarke, Claudio Ranieri, Martin Tyler (Commentator), Gerry Cox (Journalist), Mike Ingham (Commentator), Simon Johnson (Journalist), Jason Cundy (Broadcaster), Neil Barnett (Journalist), Rick Glanvill (Chelsea FC's official historian) The Blueprint is written by Garry Hayes and narrated by Ceri Levy. *** You can support this podcast on Apple Podcasts by subscribing to Blueprint+ for ad-free streaming and bonus episodes.

Lessons From a Lender   We have Russian immigrant, Mark Abramovich on the show teaching us all about lending from the perspective of a lender. Mark is a hard money lender and direct lender and breaks down exactly what he looks for in a deal to lend on. He also shares how to protect your funds if you decide to become a private money lender and act at the bank. Throughout his journey from Russia to the US, he believes there is no substitute for putting in the hard work which is why he's so successful today!   Mark is a Lender, Investor, Speaker who graduated with honors from Brooklyn Technical High School in 1997, followed by a Bachelor of Industrial Design (combining Art with Engineering) degree from Pratt Institute in 2001. For almost 20 years Mark used his creativity, and learned engineering discipline and skills, while designing digital dental equipment. He has been awarded numerous patents for design and technical innovations. Having invested in real estate since the early 2000's, in 2018 Mark "formally" brought his creativity to the world of real estate, leaving Dentsply Sirona, and founding MIRS Group, LLC.

Stamford Chidge & Jonathan Kydd are joined by Chelsea author Mark Meehan to look back at Chelsea's 2004-05 season.In part two, we pick up the story in January 2005. Under the management of Jose Mourinho, Chelsea were top of the league, 7 points clear with 55 points, the largest points tally at this stage in the PL ever, and were fighting for trophies on all fronts with qualification for the Champions' League round of 16 achieved with 13 points and a Carling Cup semi-final against Man Utd to look forward to in the New Year as well as the FA Cup.All eyes were on Stamford Bridge as we took on Man Utd in the first leg of the Carling Cup semi-final. A cagey 0-0 with Utd using every trick in the book was followed by a 2-1 win at Old Trafford to seal a place in the final at the Millenium stadium in Cardiff. The arrival of Abramovich and Mourinho notwithstanding, this was Chelsea's 12th cup semi-final in 12 seasons and the first time defeat had been inflicted on Alex Ferguson's Utd in a domestic semi-final.Back in the Premier League Chelsea passed the stern 'can they do it on a cold night in Blackburn' test standing up, literally to the physical intimidation meted out by Mark Hughes dirty side. Arguably this was the match that sealed the title for Chelsea, at least in terms of belief. February and March brought a plethora of high profile and must win matches which was to become the norm for Chelsea througout Abramovich's tenure. Newcastle knocked us out of the FA Cup, ending the pursuit of all four trophies. Barcelona beat Chelsea 2-1 at the Nou Camp in a controversial match where we had the upper hand until Drogba was sent off by Anders Frisk for a dubious second yellow. And in the space of a week, Chelsea defeated Liverpool in the Carling Cup final having gone 1-0 down after a Riise goal on 1 minute and rescued by a Steve Gerrard goal on 79 minutes, before Drogba and Kezman settled matters in a 3-2 win.March saw the return of Barcelona to Stamford Bridge and one of the greatest matches ever seen in the club's 100 year history as Chelsea stormed to a 3-0 lead inside 20 minutes only to be pegged back by a remarkable Ronaldinho goal which left the crowd silent in consternation, before John Terry ensured a 4-2 win on the night and a 5-4 win on aggregate. A quarter-final tie against Bayern Munich was Chelsea's reward and another classic played out in the first leg at Stamford Bridge, almost matching the Barcelona match for excitement and quality, with one of Frank Lampard's best goals for the club a highlight in a 4-2 win. Chelsea got the job done in the last match to be played at the Olympiastadion albeit with a couple of late goals from Bayern to cause more anxiety than we needed.Attention moved back to the Premier League. Would Chelsea win it against Fulham on the 50th anniversary to the day of our our first league title? Had we not drawn at home to Arsenal we would have, but we were destined to wait until the Bolton away match, just as Jose Mourinho had predicted months ago. The small matter of the club's second and consecutive Champions' League semi-final against Liverpool preceded Bolton. Thanks to a solitary ghost goal by Luis Garcia at Anfield, Chelsea were denied a final appearance again and our modern rivalry and enmity with Liverpool and Rafa Benitez was confirmed.It should have been crushing, but in truth it wasn't, because a few days earlier, Chelsea defeated Bolton thanks to two Frank Lampard goals to lift the Premier League for the first time in their history. Many of us never believed we'd see the day; tears were shed, friends were embraced and a massive party in the Kings Road ensued. Chelsea's greatest ever season? No doubt! Hosted on Acast.

Today's word of the day is ‘manicure' as in getting your nails did as in Would You Like French Tips as in did MLB umpire Ryan Wills check Madison Bumgarner's finger to see where he got his nails done?
