They say success in male-dominated industries takes grit, and Jenny is living proof. In this raw, no-fluff episode of She Who Dares Wins, Jenny lays it all out—from the brutal world of close protection (yes, the one where only 865 women hold an SIA license) to a hands-on apprenticeship in bricklaying in an industry that practically worships testosterone.Jenny's journey is as unfiltered as it gets. She recounts her nerve-wracking transition from ex-police and security training hell—where every day felt like a high-stakes boot camp—to protecting high-profile clients like a Saudi princess (complete with lime green Hummers and high-speed police escorts). Then, just when you think she's done defying expectations, she pivots to the gritty reality of bricklaying, proving that no job is too rough if you dare to break the mold.Packed with unapologetic honesty, empowering insights, and dry humor that cuts through the BS (because who has time for fluff?), this episode is your blueprint for shattering stereotypes. If you're ready to navigate challenging careers, embrace unconventional paths, and build your own empire—literally and figuratively—tune in and let Jenny's journey inspire you to say yes, even when it means stepping outside the comfort zone.Timestamp Summary0:01 Podcast Setup and Introduction to She Who Dares Wins2:26 Jenny's Grueling Journey Into the World of Close Protection10:33 Challenges of Entering the Close Protection Industry12:58 From Police Probation to Detective in Sussex21:42 The Challenges and Paranoia of Surveillance Training24:29 Undercover Surveillance and Airport Security Operations29:47 Challenges and Rewards in Close Protection Careers35:03 A Glimpse Into Saudi Royal Life and Cultural Contrasts38:07 Challenges of Being a Young Celebrity's Security Detail42:30 The Intricacies of Female Security in High-Profile Environments47:53 Parking Space Drama and Unexpected Celebrity Encounters49:26 Challenges and Dynamics of Close Protection Work55:49 The Complexities of Personal Security and Client Management1:02:37 Jenny's Journey From Close Protection to Bricklaying Apprenticeship1:08:55 Breaking Barriers in Male-Dominated Apprenticeships1:13:25 Crime and Camaraderie on Construction Sites1:18:53 Navigating Gender Dynamics in Construction WorkplacesCheck out our clothing range at www.shewhodareswins.com and sign up to our empowering newsletter: Use the code POD10 for 10% off site wide.Support us and get exclusive content over on our patreon account https://www.patreon.com/c/shewhodareswins/membershiphttps://shewhodareswins.substack.com/Follow us on Instagram @shewhodareswins Hosted on Acast.

Summer Camp Mayhem.By FinalStand. Listen to the Podcast at Explicit Novels.The miracle is not a person jumping into a torrent to save another. It is the dozen who form a chain to pull them both out.(Midnight in the Grotto of Good and Evil)We were in one of the underground pools at the bottom of the mesa. Our tour guide had informed us there were nine known caves and the complex had never been fully explored due to the remaining waterways being totally submerged. It was well past midnight, all my little friends had crashed out and I had wisely ditched my security after Miyako silently woke me up with her hand over my mouth.She pulled my hand to her lips and sucked deeply on two of my digits. I took this to be an indicator to me she was in dire need of loving. The grotto was my idea. I was inspired by my desire to see her naked and I couldn't risk a light source any place but underground. The tool shed and garage lacked a certain appeal. The fuel depot and septic tank were also ruled out."Is the chaos in your mind still raging, Cáel?" Miyako asked in Nipponese, with enough worry to doubly enhance her cuteness."Which of the twenty-seven unexplained languages rolling around in my head do you want me to answer you in?" my toothy grin barely visible in the darkness.Around half way through my sexual enlightenment in college, I had a revelation. The two guys I had gone road-tripping with took me to a bar in Portsmouth. I caught a woman looking us over. I already had my one-night stand lined up and she was looking most agreeable to my nefarious skullduggery (i.e. she had come with some other guy who preferred beer and darts with his buddies over keeping his attention on what mattered).And then my awakening."Nah, she's too fat," he remarked. For one thing, my friend who said that could have stood to lose ten to fifteen kilograms himself. Next, we were dressed like middle class college kids, jeans, shirts that were most likely clean when we picked them out of the laundry basket, light jackets and the shoe thing.This girl was dressed up for a good night out. Nice makeup, her clothing choices were, eh, not stunning, but this wasn't a stunning nightclub/bar. She looked fun, she smiled and yes, she was overweight. It dawned on me that not only did I not care, I never cared. I was a sexual omnivore and that meant any lady interested in sex with me was fine in my book.So, I turned the tables on him."If you can score her number, I'll give you my watch," I dared him. The wristwatch was really nice, one of those $500 handmade German ones. One of my Ex's great-granddad had swiped it off some Nazi pilot in World War II, and the same girl gave it to me twice. See, by accident, as I was exiting the (thankfully) first floor window of the Natural Sciences building, she threw a pitcher at me.It had been sitting in an ornamental display case close by. I caught it, nodded to the flabbergasted female professor-type gawking at the semi-naked me, handed her the projectile, then fled like the responsibility-dodging coward that I was. It turned out that that bit of crockery was from the mid-1600's; the woman I'd surprised was the item's owner.That older lady wasn't a teacher. She was a major benefactor in charge of one of the school's larger endowments. Had it shattered, the Ex most likely would have been expelled. Instead, after watching me round the Chancellor's residence, the mature chick turned to the totally naked chick leaning out the window, still screaming at me."Is he on the track team?" she inquired as she handed the artifact back. They talked, agreed I was a miserable human being, a cad and had firmly developed buttocks. Well, I guess that makes me a pig with nice hams. The next day, I showed up to return the watch, it was just an excuse for one more round of sex.She explained the whole incident to me, took back the watch and sent me on my way. I hurried back to my dorm room, changed the sheets and picked up a bit. An hour later she was quietly knocking at my door. Rather epic make-up sex followed, she gave me the watch as a keepsake and I swore off intercourse in classrooms for two whole months. I'm a tower of resolute willpower, I know.Back at the bar, my buddy snorted, made some comment about her being obviously desperate and promised me he'd nail in her in one of the back rooms. They talked a little, he got 'friendly', then said something that really hurt the girl's feelings. She looked our way, steadied herself with a shot of bourbon and came over to me and my other bud."Did you tell that guy you would give him fifty bucks if I put a lipstick ring on his cock?" she confronted us."No, I told him you were too good for him and if he could get your phone number, I would give him this watch," I showed her the watch. The girl's face flashed back to 'cautiously curious'."Is it a nice watch?" she asked."It is a family heirloom. My great-grandpa brought it back from World War II after taking it off some high ranking kraut officer," I embellished. "I knew he didn't have a chance with you.""Thanks," she grinned. "I agree. Let me get my sister and we can get a bite to eat." Sex.Two guesses of who her sister was. If you guessed the girl I had been cultivating since I got there, you would be right. I am too damn lucky. Lads, the next time you blow a sure thing, blame me for sucking all the good karma away from you, and nine of your friends. I got a three-way. The guy I made the challenge to, got his revenge. He bailed and I had to hitchhike back to school. You know, female truckers, oh, back to Miyako.After stashing our clothing and weapons (all of mine anyway), I took a small fluorescent lantern and slipped into the water. Cold, but doable. Miyako joined me and then, by moonlight, we swam to the point where the guide had said we'd find a passage to a secluded grotto. Down we went. My motivation wasn't sex.That was coming no matter what. Seeing my Nipponese sweetie completely nude directed my course of action. Security protocols meant no lights after 11 p.m. My solution was to cut on a light that couldn't be seen from outside, the grotto. We felt our way along the rather wide submerged passage emerging well before air became an issue. I raised the lantern and cut it on.Our tour guru had forgotten to mention that the algae patches along the sides and bottom as well as the quartz veins on the roof and walls reflected the light over what must have been an eight by ten meter cavern. Gorgeous. We glided to a shelf that met our needs, climbed up and shared a high school 'nervous virgin' moment. She broke the spell by pulling herself out of the water and, standing on her tippy-toes, touched one of the roof veins.I drank in every inch of my little ninja babe's lithe, finely tuned body. Once she got over the newness of my voyeurism, she became playful, giving me a variety of silhouettes and poses. I stripped and returned the favor, which earned me a giggling fit. As I took a minute to sit down and stare into the tranquility of the still surface, she snuck up on me.She said it all with her eyes. I tried to speak, but she put a forefinger to my lips. 'Hold me forever,' her eyes relayed her intentions. 'Love me for all eternity and think of no one else but me.' My elbows were locked, supporting my upper torso as she hovered over my lap. She was a lone feather falling upon the unyielding stone.With one hand behind her, she guided my cock into the wet, luxurious vice that was her cunt. We took it in increments. A sigh more at home in whispered Nirvana than on mortal tongues escaped her lips as she nestled all the way down. We didn't fuck. We rocked back and forth in a timid motion.As Miyako became accustomed to me once more, she would lean farther back with each pulse until an in and out rhythm was achieved. I took the occasion of her victory to pluck her left nipple into my mouth. Experience had taught me that was her more sensitive one. For several seconds, she fought it before knowledge caught up with instinct, then she loosed her passion.After her vibrations subsided, she rested her body tightly against mine. I still impaled her and she was returning a fraction of that warmth."Do you ever think you will find true love?" she whispered into my ear, in Nipponese. I was drawing my finger through her damp hair as it trailed down her back."As in love one over all others, no," I confided. "Even if I did, I could never admit it.""Why not?" she asked in Mandarin.In French I explained; "My life is a mad race through the forest and I don't know if I am a hound or the stag. I don't dare slow down until I know, and that is no way to repay such devotion.""When do you think the race will end for you?" she moaned softly, in English."I would really like to hold a child of mine. I don't regret my life's path up until now, yet I leave so very little of me behind if it ends soon," I muttered in Nipponese, and then chuckled. "It used to be at the first sign of a pregnancy test, I would panic. The World turns very rapidly."A minute passed as she went from warm to heatedly sensuous."Less talk, more babies," she sacrificed her emotions for my well-being with her oh so naught Baby Metal band voice and questing fingers. How could I say 'no' to that?"I don't think it works that way," I teased."Let's find out." She implored me in NipponeseSometime later, I was lying on my back, Miyako's body extended over mine so that not one precious inch of her touched the cool slick rock surface. Considering our position and location, it took me a bit longer to notice the intruder. I thought she was all kinds of strange. Twin memories and perception joined forces for once.The woman moved through the water, yet she was only hip deep in a place I knew the bottom was three meters below. As she entered our isolated love nest, I noticed she had sent forth not a single ripple in the water. Memory filled in the rest. Her eyes, when her gaze met my own, had that void that comes from a tortured life punctuated by horrors you witness as well as ones you are forced to perform.That was from "me". The electron swarm inside my mind provided another crucial piece of the puzzle. Utukku, phantoms, dead denied entrance to the Nether Realms, trapped between, until some sin had been lifted. The spirit gave me a look of shock, then turned and fled."We are in danger," I hissed to Miyako in Nipponese, before cutting off the lantern.I dove in, angling for the tunnel we'd entered by. I was close enough not to jab my fingers into the stone surface as I clawed my way through. I didn't burst noisily to the surface on the other side. My approach was that of an alligator, slowly letting my head crest the surface so I could look around. No one was in evidence. Miyako was soundless at my side as we scramble to the hiding place of our gear.Miyako held my hand back until she was sure our belongings hadn't been booby-trapped. I had to make quick judgment call: how time critical was this? I went the 'clothes and weapons' route."What is going on?" Miyako spoke quietly."Back there, I saw a feminine Asian ghost and the last time I witnessed such a pained, hopeless look, I was confronting the Seven Pillars," I told her. "Their slave had that same doomed stare.""There are only two things here of value," Miyako made her assessment. "You and the children. You are far more accessible in New York City, so it must be the children." We pressed ourselves tightly to the cave sides when we heard the sound of footsteps coming our way. It was Charlotte, my minder for evening, with her bow notched and ready.Firearms were kept to a minimum after hours, so bows were the order of the day, except for the snipers on the mesa top. My movements must have alerted her. I sat down and continued dressing."Charlotte, the Seven Pillars know we are here, they know the camp is here," I told her."How imminent is the threat?" Charlotte knelt beside me. I didn't know."They must be close, to be making a reconnaissance of the caves," Miyako said with tactical certainty."It was drawn to you, Charlotte, you were out of place, so this thing looked further. Otherwise these caves are irrelevant," she added. Miyako had the mindset of a seasoned professional spy."The cavern and spring have a night guardian," Charlotte countered. "I saw her when I was following you two here."I had on my light bulletproof vest (no shirt), shorts (no underwear) and shoes (no sox)."Let's go check on her to see if she's seen anything," I suggested/ordered.What I had assumed was some sort of bedroll brought by Miyako turned out to be a Ninja Survival pack. This allowed me to weapon up while she dressed up. The amount of time we were taking still ate at my nerves. Charlotte stopped me from heading out first, only to be stopped by Miyako. The ninja slipped out like a cool desert breeze.(Friend, Enemies and those In Between)Thirty seconds later, a plastic BB bounced off my right shoulder. This time, I was leading Charlotte out. No one spoke. We couldn't see Miyako anyway, now dressed in her black pajamas and her face being reduced to just one slit for her eyes. We found the Amazon dead at her post. She was in a cunningly crafted blind not easily spotted from any direction.A quick sweep for 'gifts' left behind revealed nothing, but the corpse yielded plenty. She was shot multiple times with two separate flash and sound suppressed submachine guns. The woman had been alive when we came down and if there had been a firefight, Charlotte would have heard the shots, if not seen them; thus the suppression. The bullet holes suggested a small caliber weapon.Miyako stepped up, held up three fingers. Every piece of the Amazon's gear was still on her. The attackers had shot up her phone box. Wireless communications were deemed too risky so all the outposts had buried land lines. At this point, a few seconds of extra effort stood between the Seven Pillars and success; that and the Goddess Paranoia.Had the assailants yanked up the box and cut the phone line, it would have been rendered useless. Instead, they shot up the device and moved on so that when Charlotte pulled out the cache of concealed goodies, including the spare phone box, we were back in business. As Charlotte got to work switching out the busted for the back-up, I studied our situation.Advanced teams taking out the perimeter guards, and most likely the snipers, didn't make much sense. The camp had 300 highly motivated Amazons. Cutting them off temporarily from their armory and vehicles didn't make any sense, since all Amazons were armed anyway. That left timing. But timing meant nothing if I didn't have the goal of their attack.It came as a double-whammy. The Chinese place a high premium on family and the Seven Pillars had mastered a sadistic art form of turning young foreign women into their concubine/assassins. The Condotteiri would have slaughtered the entire camp. The Seven Pillars would want to kidnap the children, both as current bargaining chips and as future tools.500 girls, 400 could be kidnappable. The oldest would go down fighting with their sisters. How did you get 400 kids out of here? Helicopters? That would be a fuck load of helicopters taking out their team and the children. Besides, helicopters alone couldn't dig them out of their cave and cliff-face strongpoints.Desert, no waterways. That left the road. You couldn't use ATVs, not enough carrying capacity. The smart move would be to have tractor-trailers parked alongside the hard top state road. They would use smaller, more rugged trucks to ferry their captives out to the semis. That suggested some sort of 'cover/support' vehicles.2 half ton trucks with weaponized Hummers providing fire support a la 'Blackhawk Down' and that meant the bridge and the BBQ pit. That objective would solve both of the Seven Pillars problems, moving the main assault group into close contact with the Amazons so the Amazons couldn't organize a defense, and removing their hostages in a prompt manner so they all could be gone before anyone else could react.The Seven Pillars had to have secured the bridge and were mostly likely replacing the missing piers. It was the choke point of their battle plan. Worse for them, it wasn't part of a barricade where they could attrition the Amazon numbers with vehicle mounted heavy weapons. The ditch ran north-south, bow shaped with the arch to the west and was over a kilometer from the camp.The flanks were purposefully strewn with huge boulders that limited traffic to horse and motorcycles, no four-wheelers. They had to have control of the bridge, so that's where I went."Charlotte, I'm going to the bridge," I whispered before slipping out of the blind. I didn't order Miyako to follow me and I was sure Charlotte wanted strangle me for departing from her protective custody.There are four kinds of fights, be they between armies, or individuals. Set-piece (sparring), assaults, ambushes and meeting engagements. I was about to be in the latter one. Meeting engagements happen when opposing forces are set on goals that unknowingly intersect one another. One of the most famous battles in US history, Gettysburg, was a meeting engagement.I was using the bone-dry culvert because we feared the Seven Pillars had replaced our snipers. Miyako was, somewhere else. The enemy commandos used the same conduit to avoid having the remaining Amazon pickets spot them and raising the alarm. I had little doubt that the three men speedily moving south were heading for the grotto and its three inhabitants (Charlotte, Miyako and me).Not knowing that I could both see ghosts and guessed who its demonic masters were, they assumed we were still in the caverns. Me not knowing how this whole ghost-scout thing worked, I assumed that I had a chance of surprising them at the bridge if I moved fast enough. In a final prick of irony, they misinterpreted the role their snipers played in our engagement.They believed that their snipers would alert them if anyone moved on the bridge, ignoring the fact that the snipers didn't have a complete view of the gulch. I was only using the big ditch because I was afraid they had taken out the Amazon snipers and now had the high ground, which turned out to be true. Thank you, Goddess Paranoia.My first tomahawk was in my left hand and my Glock-22 was in my right. My fear of snipers and the bend in the gully saved my life. We literally ran into each other, me and the first 7P soldier. His long barreled Type-05 was pointing past my left, his torso slammed into my pistol, ramming his front armored plate against it as it discharged.The proximity muffled the sound of the gunshot. The bullet failed to punch through his impressive body armor, but the resulting force knocked him down and out. Unfortunately, our shared momentum knocked my gun out of my grasp. My right hand went for tomahawk two. The flattened man's team mates swung their submachine guns my way.Halfway through his shift, a black dart flew out of the western darkness, past the first one, then snapped back. The action caused the hardy thread to wrap around the barrel of his weapon. I couldn't see her, but I knew it was Miyako with her flying wedge with the thread attached. The middle guy was startled and not moving as his training dictated.That allowed me to use him as a shield against the third guy. Right as 7P #2 decided to release his weapon, I kicked him hard into the confused man behind him. Neither man went down, but I still got what I wanted.Guy number three's main weapon was trapped to his right as I rushed his left. Vainly he tried to get an arm up to defend himself. My right tomahawk shattered his forearm at the elbow joint. Only the body armor on the inside of the blow stopped the appendage from falling off. My rational mind was catching up with my instincts.These men had on head-to-toe ballistic body suits with knee guards and solid ballistic inserts for the front and back of the torso. They had on some sort of dull, dark-grey respirator mask which was why the armless guy wasn't screaming his head off. They also had matte black circular ear protections and a type of high tech visor on the ears and eyes respectively.The sole survivor was falling back, drawing his silenced pistol while trying to put some distance between us and find Miyako at the same time. Dummy, tomahawks are designed for throwing. A bit of Amazons indignation was behind that toss. His visor was cut in two as my anger drove the blade 6 cm/2+ inches into his skull.I heard a sharp crack of a rock being shattered. Miyako's graceful flip landed her at my side. I ran to the last victim, put my foot on his chest and put my right hand on the tomahawk's shaft. The guy reached up and grabbed the thigh of the foot on his chest with both hands. Shit, the fucker wasn't dead!

My favourite book about the internet is by the Canadian author Douglas Coupland. In his 2014 book, Kitten Clone: Inside Alcatel-Lucent, Coupland asks, “Where did the sense of invention go—the sense of futurity—the sense that by working in tech, you were somehow building a better tomorrow, a smarter tomorrow, a more democratic tomorrow?" Colette Shade begins her book, Y2K: How the 2000s Became Everything (Essays on the Future That Never Was), in a period in which it was generally felt that by working in tech, you were somehow building a better tomorrow, a smarter tomorrow, and a more democratic tomorrow. (Plus ça change!) In Y2K, Colette asks, “What was the Y2K Era and why are we still living in its shadow?” Y2K's essays—on subjects as varied as blobby furniture and see-through consumer electronics; VOGUE magazine and disordered eating; and McMansions, Hummers and Starbucks—explore this question. We talk: 3:33 : "I want to write a book. What should I write about?" - Colette 4:04: Why 1998 was the best year of Colette's life 5:18: On being a kid in the '90s (Pokémon, riding your bike, watching TV) 6:00: The Dot-com Bubble in the 1990s 6:35: Netscape mentioned 6:55: "There was no understanding that [the internet] was a place where you could make a lot of money." - Colette 8:00: Colette's uncle got rich when his company was bought by Nokia 10:29: This meant that Colette went to college debt-free, without student loans 10:58: It's hard to write nonfiction about current events because you have to stop when it's time to publish, and current events keep happening. But Y2K feels timely, nonetheless. 13:27: The 90s/2000s purity culture is now repackaged as trad culture/retvrn culture 14:40: Colette wrote about taking a sex-positive sex ed class that contrasts from the typical way Americans learn sex ed; and, as Colette argues, played into the culture war now happening online and in real life 17:38: Colette says that the culture war is a proxy war 19:38: "The Christian right has a great enemy. It's gays! It's all those slutty women!" - Colette 20:25: This contrasts with her parents' worldview as secular liberals 22:12 "The people who want to ban books... that feels accessible to them, whereas gaining control of their economic conditions does not." - Colette 22:48: "Your body. My choice." 24:44: Donald Trump wants to make Canada the 51st state (wtf??) 25:41: 25% tariff 26:35 McMansions and Hummers as symbols of the post-9/11, pre-2008 bubble 27:40 "Americans don't always have the stomach" to think critically about their history - Colette 28:23: Colette on Greg Grandin's Pulitzer Prize-winning book The End of the Myth: From the Frontier to the Border Wall in the Mind of America (2019) 29:35: Colette paraphrases Grandin's argument on the cause of the American Revolution, which gave Americans "a mandate for endless expansion" (sound familiar?) 33:15: Colette compares American expansion to the PlayStation game Katamari Damacy 35:04: America First 36:12: Cyberspace as a frontier 36:34: Early internet users saw themselves as Cyber Cowboys and settlers in "a place where they could be free," says Colette 37:55: Property ownership and the American Dream 39:00: The 2008 subprime mortgage crisis marked "a real break in American history," says Colette 40:45: The information superhighway 40:55: Olivia Rodrigo asks first dates whether they like Elon Musk 41:21: "The years start coming and they don't stop coming." - Smash Mouth 42:17: What advice would Colette give her teenage self?

In this episode of ALPS In Brief, our Risk Manager Mark Bassingthwaighte sits down with University of Montana Professor Jeff Brandt to talk about synthesizers, AI, and his class on the history of rock and roll. — Transcript:  Mark Bassingthwaighte:  Hello, I'm Mark Bassingthwaighte, the Risk Manager here at ALPS, and welcome to ALPS In Brief, the podcast that comes to you from the historic Florence building in beautiful Downtown Missoula, Montana. As many of you know, I have been in Florida now for a number of years, but I'm back at the home office here, and we have a special event every two years where we bring in a lot of our bar associates from various bar associations around the country. Then we have some special speakers that come in and talk about all kinds of things.  I have just finished attending a presentation given by Jeff Brandt, who is a professor here at the university and does a course on the history of music. I got to say, in all honesty, folks, I wish you could all have been here. This was one of the most fun, creative presentations I've seen in a long, long time. Jeff, it's a pleasure to have you here. Before we get started, can I ask you to take just a little bit of time and tell us about who you are?  Jeff Brandt:  Okay, so I was born in Sitka, Alaska, which is a tiny, well, it's a big island actually, but a tiny town on a big island in Southeast Alaska. Average rainfall there is about 96 inches per year, so it's a Pacific Coast rainforest.  Mark Bassingthwaighte:  Right.  Jeff Brandt:  I went to college in Tacoma, Washington at Pacific Lutheran University. Taught private percussion lessons after that for about 20 years. Somewhere in the middle or somewhere in there, I got my graduate teaching degree. Then we ended up in Missoula, Montana as a result. Then by happenstance, the History of Rock & Roll as a course fell into my lap.  Mark Bassingthwaighte:  That was an established course before you got here?  Jeff Brandt:  It was.  Mark Bassingthwaighte:  Okay.  Jeff Brandt:  Yeah. There were a lot of people that have taught it prior to me, but when I was given the opportunity to run with it, it was one of the first online courses developed at the University of Montana, and that's really when I dug in because I knew that teaching it in an online setting, I was going to have to be more aware of the points I was trying to get across and how they were delivered. I dug deeper and deeper into the historical aspect of the course, and then I just started creating these different slide programs. Now I'm on my third set of slides and I think it's my final because they're so good now I don't want to mess with them, but that's my brief history.  Mark Bassingthwaighte:  I didn't realize this is online. Could anybody get online and just take this course?  Jeff Brandt:  Anybody can take it online. I'll give my spiel about online education, to be honest here, is I think online education is good if you have time to do it. I think in-person education, generally speaking, is better.  Mark Bassingthwaighte:  I would agree with you.  Jeff Brandt:  There are so many different resources now for people to learn. Just with YouTube alone, you can go down an endless pit of stuff on one member of one obscure band, it seems.  Mark Bassingthwaighte:  Yeah.  Jeff Brandt:  Yeah. Mine is one of the many resources out there.  Mark Bassingthwaighte:  You're welcome to share. Folks, I'm telling you, if you have any interest at all in the history of rock and roll and want to have some awesome fun, this is a course I would encourage you to take and see. I didn't realize. How might folks find this?  Jeff Brandt:  Well, you go to the University of Montana. I believe you have to register as a student.  Mark Bassingthwaighte:  Okay.  Jeff Brandt:  You think that I would know all the hoops you have you have to jump through.  Mark Bassingthwaighte:  No, that's fine.  Jeff Brandt:  You have to jump through several hoops and then you can take online classes. I do encourage people who are not working 40 hours a week and who are interested in really digging in, to take it in-person because there's so much more interaction with the way the clips are played and the way the slides are presented. Get on the University of Montana website and search it, and you can join the online course or the face-to-face.  Mark Bassingthwaighte:  You clearly have a passion. It just seems like listening to you, you're having just a ton of fun too, and I love that. Folks, I can also share this course is I think the number one or the number two top.  Jeff Brandt:  It's one or two or three. It depends on the year.  Mark Bassingthwaighte:  Yeah. Why do you do this?  Jeff Brandt:  Well, honestly, the first time it fell in my lap. I was just kind of given the opportunity to sub for somebody and subbing for somebody in a college course is, it's a lot to take on because you jump into it usually with all of their materials because that's usually the unwritten rule is, "I'll let you use my stuff." I mean, back then, I mean, it makes me sound like a dinosaur, but the person that gave me the stuff had overheads, and so I was using overhead.  Mark Bassingthwaighte:  Wow. Yeah.  Jeff Brandt:  Maybe it was a year later that I was using slides, but they gave me their overheads. I jump in, I'm starting to do this, and honestly, I was scared because I guess when you're, I can speak as a male when you're 23, 24, 25, you think you know a lot of stuff. I just cracked open the first of two textbooks that this prof was using, and I was like, "Oh, boy, do I know nothing and I'm teaching it in three weeks."  Then fast-forward, I end up digging in reading resources, listening to a lot of albums. I'll be honest with you, I hadn't really dug into the Beatles that much prior because there were so many other acts that I was interested in. Then I started listening to their catalog and the Rolling Stones, and again, that's a tiny scratch on the surface that doesn't include the other British bands like The Animals and The Who and Led Zeppelin and then John Mayall and the Bluesbreakers and all these other in-depth things you can go in. That's just the British blues scene.  Mark Bassingthwaighte:  Right.  Jeff Brandt:  What I realized was in order to make this work and why I continued to want to do it, is what I would need to do is have what I would call kind of a surfacey understanding of about 300 to 400 acts in the entertainment business. Gradually bit by bit, the department would buy my recordings. I would go and dig in and listen to everything from Blind Lemon Jefferson to the Spice Girls. I would just year-by-year chip away. When you get into a subject like counted cross-stitch or skiing or building doors, you get better at it and you realize ways to enjoy it more.  I got to a point where I created my final, what I call my final set of slides, and I really, really carefully planned out the layout of the slides, how the format of the class was going to move and how I was going to justify only featuring certain artists as opposed to leaving out bands, like the one I always pick on is AC/DC because they're not really a part of the course. That's why I do it and why I like to do it, because it's like anything else where you get into it, then you kind of become addicted once you have a little taste.  Mark Bassingthwaighte:  Yeah, yeah, I get that. Year after year, how do I want to say this? Let me do it this way. What do you hope students get out of your class?  Jeff Brandt:  Well, there are these objectives that we write in the syllabus that you're supposed to abide by, et cetera, et cetera, and I do, but what I really want people to get out of the course is I want them to understand a general approach, or I guess have a general understanding of the social history that rock and roll highlights in America. That's one thing.  Mark Bassingthwaighte:  Okay.  Jeff Brandt:  I want them to understand that rock and roll is not white, it's not Elvis Presley, it's not AC/DC, it's not, even though I love them, it's not Metallica. It is something that came about quite by accident and through a lot of pain. That part is kind of an inconvenient truth that some students don't like. I have to warn people in the beginning, "I'm not going to sugar coat this, I'm going to bring it directly to you. Some of the things are inconvenient truths that you may not have faced prior. Depending on how invested you are in learning as a person, it may buck your understanding of how this thing has worked."  Mark Bassingthwaighte:  Yeah.  Jeff Brandt:  Just for example, the inconvenient truth, like I was mentioning today that Elvis Presley is a cover artist. Bill Haley is a cover artist.  Mark Bassingthwaighte:  Mm-hmm.  Jeff Brandt:  They're not original rock and roll artists.  Mark Bassingthwaighte:  Right.  Jeff Brandt:  The original rock and roll artists are people like Chuck Berry and Little Richard and Bo Diddley and all of the artists on Chess Records. Those are the original rock and roll artists, but because of the unfortunate existence of so much racism in our country, a lot of those people were shoved aside because it was easier to market people with light skin.  Mark Bassingthwaighte:  So interesting.  Jeff Brandt:  That's another thing I wanted to go with and maybe if I'm going to highlight a third thing I want them to go away with, is an understanding that you can listen to more than one subgenre within rock and roll. You get people that are "metalheads" and people that are into techno pop or house or people that seventies rock, or here's another category I have, people that love the sixties. They have blinders on. If it's between '64 and '69, it's in, and if it's '70 and on, it's out. The understanding that if you listen to pick your artist, like name a person, let's just pick like Katy Perry. If you listen to Katy Perry and you put hours into it, you will grow to like that artist. If you listen to Destiny's Child, you will grow, if you listen to Frank Zappa, you will grow to like it. I want express in that third point that it takes time to do that, and it's an investment and it's a willing investment.  Mark Bassingthwaighte:  It's very interesting. I appreciate what you're sharing, and again, after hearing what you had to say here just a few moments ago, it has changed how I look at certain things. What I liked about it, it helps understand the culture, understand music in general, where it comes from. I mean, I have a greater sensitivity. Yeah, I just thought it was very good.  Jeff Brandt:  Well, it's almost like one thing along those lines, it's almost like with Louis Armstrong.  Mark Bassingthwaighte:  Yeah.  Jeff Brandt:  Louis Armstrong was this one of several trumpet or cornet players as they were originally, in the early jazz era that was a soloist and gained a following from the general public, the general population in the United States. Now, Louis was seen as a performer on stage, but at the same time, he couldn't stay in the same hotels, he couldn't eat in the same restaurants.  Mark Bassingthwaighte:  Right.  Jeff Brandt:  He could walk on stage in a club, but not eat at the restaurant in the club.  Mark Bassingthwaighte:  Yeah. Yeah.  Jeff Brandt:  He would've to be fed backstage and those kind of inconvenient truths to uncover that for people in a day when I think it's easy to brush that aside and highlight that he was an ambassador to the world in the 1970s. Yeah, in the seventies he was, but for the majority of his time as a performer, he was only respected as a performer, not as a human being.  Mark Bassingthwaighte:  Wow. I agree with you, that is a great message I think. God bless. These are important things.  Jeff Brandt:  I mean, I think that, and another thing that's along those lines too, it's a little bit of a stretch as a parallel, but it is a parallel, is that performers in rock and roll, many times are actors.  Mark Bassingthwaighte:  Okay.  Jeff Brandt:  If you're in a heavy metal band and you're acting all angry on stage and chugging it away on your guitar up there and singing these lyrics that are full of vitriol, that doesn't necessarily define who you were at breakfast at 10 o'clock that morning or who you are when you're off tour with your wife and kids or with your partner at the winery or whatever. That's a different thing. There are a lot of people that can't get past that. They see name your hard rock artist, "That's an evil person." That person puts on sweatpants, watches reruns of shows that we all like on Netflix, enjoys a donut every now and again, and takes a walk with dog.  Mark Bassingthwaighte:  They're just real people, right?  Jeff Brandt:  They're real people. That part is also misunderstood about rock and roll in the same way that people can't or don't want to unveil the truth about black artists.  Mark Bassingthwaighte:  Right. Right. One of the things, we talked a little bit last night, and again, you were sharing this in your presentation, one of the things that really sort of struck me was your comments about synthesizers. I'm a guy that likes that sound, but I didn't fully appreciate its impact and the evolution and how that impacted the artists of the day. I guess I'd have to honestly say I'm still not sure where you come out on synthesizing. Is that a good thing? Is it a bad thing? I'd be curious, what's your thought about?  Jeff Brandt:  Okay. Well, I mean, I own a synthesizer. Every band I've played in has used a synthesizer.  Mark Bassingthwaighte:  Okay.  Jeff Brandt:  I'm not against synthesizers. I also don't dislike house music. I don't dislike techno pop. I don't dislike the synth revolution that happened in the late, let's call it the late seventies to the early eighties where it exploded, where everybody had to have a Yamaha DX7. I don't dislike that. What I think is problematic, is the idea that this machine is everything.  Mark Bassingthwaighte:  Right.  Jeff Brandt:  I think the other part that's problematic is that, and this is going to make me sound like I'm super old because my instrument, my main instrument is drum set. People will ask me, "Well, why haven't you dug into this or this or this about the history of rock and roll?" I say, "Well, I also practice instruments and I have a passion for playing them." To me, it's not just about reading and regurgitating facts, it's about keeping up my musical skills. What happens when you get into the world of synth is to some degree, you lose the world of any sort of musical technique because the machine can do so much of it for you.  Mark Bassingthwaighte:  Okay. Right.  Jeff Brandt:  I think that the bad side of synth is highlighted like groups like Human League, because if you look at a group like Human League and they're early stuff, it sounds like, da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da, it's very robotic and synthesized, as we should say, in the sense that everything is exactly placed on the exact moment of the exact quarter of the beat. That there is no doubt in your mind exactly where the center of the beat is. You can press a button and the synthesizer can do that. Whereas on piano, you have to go to make the same da-da-da-da-da-da, you have to go like fingers, 4, 3, 2, 1, da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da over and over again to make that same key do that. To some degree, whenever electronics jump to the next level, we lose a tiny bit of our ability to perform on those instruments.  Mark Bassingthwaighte:  Okay. Yeah.  Jeff Brandt:  Like with synth, you lose a little bit of ability to perform on a general keyboard. With electric guitar, you lose a little bit of ability to perform on an acoustic guitar. With electric drums, you lose a little bit of ability to play an acoustic drum set. I mean, imagine if there was an electric French horn, for example. French horn is one of the most difficult instruments to play, right?  Mark Bassingthwaighte:  Right, of course.  Jeff Brandt:  Period. I mean, it's like a French horn. Missing notes on a French horn is a Monday, that's normal. You can't avoid it. Imagine if there were a way to synthesize so that it would know that your note was going to be missed by your embouchure, and it would bring the correct note out. We would lose some of the, maybe the desire to practice and get it to where we are. That's where I feel it's the bad side of synth. But in general, I'm with you. I like the sound of the synthesizer. I like the ideas you can get from the synthesizer. I even like the drum ideas that you get from a synthesizer. I think that we were talking about last night, it's like you can go too far with something, where you need to think about reining it back in. It's like alcohol. It's like collecting cars.  Mark Bassingthwaighte:  Yeah. Yeah.  Jeff Brandt:  It's like colors of carpet in your home. At what point in time do you say enough is enough.  Mark Bassingthwaighte:  Yeah. Yeah. Well, my interest in this, it's my understanding again, that when this technology, as it sort of evolved and really became mainstream, there were a lot of responses. One of which was this is going to put people out of work because it was the Moody Blues, you could go and see the orchestra.  Jeff Brandt:  Didn't need the spring place.  Mark Bassingthwaighte:  It changes. I hear you can lose some skill sets because the machine is doing it for you, but it also brings about, I think, some creativity. It seems to me once the revolution happened, the music industry didn't go away, but how it works changed.  Jeff Brandt:  Yes.  Mark Bassingthwaighte:  We're at a point where I think, and even involved where, we're having all kinds of discussions and reactions with the evolution of generative AI.  Jeff Brandt:  Mm-hmm.  Mark Bassingthwaighte:  There are people saying, "This is going to take jobs away from all kinds of people," not just musicians with the synth, but I also can see that this could bring about some incredible creativity opportunities, allowing just the exploration of music to go far further in directions we've made never even think of right now.  Jeff Brandt:  Right. Right.  Mark Bassingthwaighte:  Could you do all sorts of things with tones, vocal tones, and I don't know.  Jeff Brandt:  Yes.  Mark Bassingthwaighte:  What is your thought? Do you see this as a game changer? Is this much ado about nothing?  Jeff Brandt:  Well, first of all, I think that it's inevitable.  Mark Bassingthwaighte:  Okay.  Jeff Brandt:  You could use the Pandora's box example. Once Pandora's box is open, then it's open and you can't shut it again. Well, the synthesizer was going to be developed, I'll tell you why, is because it comes from the pipe organ.  Mark Bassingthwaighte:  Oh, really?  Jeff Brandt:  The pipe organ is the first synthesizer. The pipe organ has stops that create different sounds. If you study the pipe organ going way back, you look at real pipe organs, they have sounds on them where you pull stops out and make it sound like a flute and make it sound like a trumpet.  Mark Bassingthwaighte:  I never thought about it that way, but you're right. Yeah.  Jeff Brandt:  It has a pedal system because pipe organ players have to read three staves. They read treble, they read bass, and then they read sub bass, as I'll call it. I honestly don't know the exact term, but another bass clef for their feet. They're basically playing, no pun intended, a synthesizer with their feet, while they're playing two synths with their hands. That's the original synth. People that think that this came about in like '64, it's been around since Bach, and guess what? It's not going away.  I think the part about the synthesizer and change, is that it is inevitable that AI along with that new technologies will enter where new possibilities will come up. I think that the good side, is some things are a little bit easier for us to do. For example, Pro Tools is a program where you can click into the program and cut right in, and it both takes the ambient sounds from before and the ambient sounds after and blends it together so you can't tell the person was clicked in at that moment. That's amazing. That makes it simpler.  Mark Bassingthwaighte:  Right.  Jeff Brandt:  It saves money for people that own Pro, it saves time, and humans are generally speaking all about that. I mean, if there's a cherry tree here and there's a bigger cherry tree across the river and you're like, "I'm going to stay with this cherry tree right here because I don't want to cross the river." That's what we would literally call the lowest hanging fruit.  Mark Bassingthwaighte:  Right.  Jeff Brandt:  With a synthesizer, if there is an option to make something a little bit simpler, people are going to use it. Again, there's the when is when part, when is enough enough? When is too much, too much, is what I mean. I think with AI, it's going to inevitably bring up other options that we haven't thought of, and it's inevitably going to bring about sounds or feelings or grooves or patterns that will catch people's ears that you cannot create with guitar rhythm guitar standard acoustic bass, or electric acoustic bass and drums, and we like that change.  Mark Bassingthwaighte:  Speaking personally, is your, I guess, conclusion or do you see the rise of AI, generative AI then, as a positive development? Are you optimistic looking forward to see what the music industry does with this? Or is it cautious optimism?  Jeff Brandt:  I'd say it's cautious optimism because it is true, for example, let's just go with trucks, there are trucks now that can be self-driven.  Mark Bassingthwaighte:  Right.  Jeff Brandt:  I don't necessarily think that's a good thing. First of all, I think that we can put things on trains, and I know I sound like a total socialist here, but you can put things on trains and all of those cars are "self-driven" by the one engineer up there, and it's very efficient. Trucks that are self-driven will become a problem at some point because you can hack into that.  Mark Bassingthwaighte:  Yes.  Jeff Brandt:  You can't hack into a human's mind nearly as easy, so there's that.  Mark Bassingthwaighte:  Yeah.  Jeff Brandt:  I think that it's good to have the humans operating things.  Mark Bassingthwaighte:  Yeah.  Jeff Brandt:  At the same time with the music business and recording, if you go back to the sixties and then the seventies, you had tons of studios that were busy hour by hour, day by day, week by week. You'd have to book into that studio six months in advance to get a four-hour space.  Mark Bassingthwaighte:  Right.  Jeff Brandt:  Now, there are studios that are completely abandoned because they've moved into people's homes because of the laptop, because of microphones like the one we're using right here, and because of the synthesizer. Is it good or is it worse? It's change.  Mark Bassingthwaighte:  Yeah.  Jeff Brandt:  That's what it is.  Mark Bassingthwaighte:  Yeah.  Jeff Brandt:  Is it going to affect having lots and lots of people play a string track versus using a synthesizer to simply overdub things? Yes, it's going to affect that. Is it going to affect it to the point where somebody goes to a symphony orchestra or a jazz concert and they see 18 mannequins on stage holding up instruments, and all of it comes from a synthesizer? I doubt it because we like to watch artists perform.  Mark Bassingthwaighte:  Yeah.  Jeff Brandt:  Like with hip-hop, almost all of the time in the hip-hop genre or any sub-genre or sub-sub-genre of hip-hop, you have people that are using synthesizers to create the entire track other than the vocals. They're even manipulating the vocals using the synth. When they go on tour, now, increasingly there are people that are using instrumentalists on tour because it's more interesting to look at.  Mark Bassingthwaighte:  That makes sense, yeah.  Jeff Brandt:  You don't want just two turntables and a microphone back there because that's all it is.  Mark Bassingthwaighte:  Yeah. Yeah. Why pay all the money to go?  Jeff Brandt:  When you go on tour, it's convenient for artists like Mariah Carey to just take the synths and go out there, but she knows that when she can afford to hire the string players, it looks cool.  Mark Bassingthwaighte:  Yeah. Yeah.  Jeff Brandt:  I think it's a case of are you going to see the glass as half full or half empty? It's here. It's been here since the pipe organ. It's going to stay. It's a question of when do you say enough is enough, and how do you look at it from your perspective as a musician? I guess I'd add one more thing. If you're afraid of the synthesizer, learn to use one. Right there.  Mark Bassingthwaighte:  Yeah, absolutely. Yeah. I really, really appreciate and love everything that you've shared. Folks, one of the reasons I wanted to do this, as you well are aware, our profession is struggling. There's a lot of people that are very much embracing the AI evolution and a lot of others very, very concerned about will they have a job. A lot of legal staff are concerned, "Will I have a job in a couple more years?" I'm using AI myself to do a lot of writing, and it's saving me tons of time, and it elevates my game. It really does. I still am the one that policy, it's an idea generator for me.  Getting back to this, I'm hoping that it is helpful to you who are listening, as we think about the challenges, the concerns, work through this, it's easier to hear and get some thoughts about how we should be responding or what do we do with all this, when we talk about it in the context of something else. Discussing this as it relates to music, I think is very eye-opening. I love the comment, you are absolutely right this synthesizer.  Jeff Brandt:  It's hard to say.  Mark Bassingthwaighte:  I always get tongue-twisted.  Jeff Brandt:  It's really tough to say.  Mark Bassingthwaighte:  It's been around since Bach.  Jeff Brandt:  It's been around since the organ.  Mark Bassingthwaighte:  I never really understood that. I think some similar things can be said about AI. It's been here a lot longer than we realize. Not in the same way, generative AI is certainly very, very new. I am cautiously optimistic about it. I would encourage you folks to just take a realistic look, take some opportunities, if you're threatened by it, pick up the instrument and learn it, and it can help your practice. I just think it's a positive thing overall. We got to be careful going too far. I can keep rambling on about this stuff for a long time. I have so many planes in my head up right now.  Jeff Brandt:  Well, there's one more thing that's worth adding.  Mark Bassingthwaighte:  Please, please.  Jeff Brandt:  There's a drummer in LA named Greg Bissonette.  Mark Bassingthwaighte:  Yes.  Jeff Brandt:  He's a studio drummer. He went to University of North Texas. He's played with lots of different artists. Greg Bissonette has always made his living playing drums.  Mark Bassingthwaighte:  Okay.  Jeff Brandt:  Now, when he first entered the studio scene in Los Angeles, as far as I know, he was going to studios and recording. You'd get your drums carted over to the studio by a carting service. You'd show up, you'd play the gig, which was a recording gig, and then you would pack your stuff up or the carting service would pack your stuff up. You'd go home and you'd be waiting for your next booked gig. Now, Greg has a microphone set up in his home. People send him a file. He listens to the file. There's maybe a click track on it, or maybe not, maybe he has to create his note. I mean, I don't know him personally, but if you need a reference for Greg Bissonette, he played all of the in-between clips on the Friends show.  Mark Bassingthwaighte:  Oh, seriously?  Jeff Brandt:  He's that guy and he's done a lot more than that. Understand that the convenience of somebody emailing you a file or dropping a file in a box and you download this file and then go ahead and say, "Okay, I'm going to add drums to this track," and you do it from your home studio. There are some good things about this. Number one, he's not driving a car in LA traffic to a studio, which means he gets to spend more time at home and more time with his family. That's better for the environment. Electric car or not, it's better.  Mark Bassingthwaighte:  Agreed.  Jeff Brandt:  Okay. It doesn't have the same in-person work environment that you had say in the sixties when the Fab Four or the Rolling Stones are right there together, hashing it out like, "What does this mean?" That's different. The truth of the matter is, I don't think anybody who's listening to something Greg Bissonette has recorded probably would go, "Oh, well, this obviously is something this guy did at his home studio with the downloaded file." In that way, it doesn't matter. Again, it's a choice of how do you want to do the track? Is it a jazz band? You probably need to come together and play. Is it a digital track and they want live drums on it?  Mark Bassingthwaighte:  Yeah.  Jeff Brandt:  Send it, who cares?  Mark Bassingthwaighte:  Right.  Jeff Brandt:  Again, this idea of change is the only constant. I mean, maybe I'll be eating my own words and I'll be replaced by a robot that has all of the personality of a human being and knows every single history of rock and roll fact. Sure. Maybe that'll happen. I doubt it. People like Greg Bissonette are still out there finding a creative way to make a living simply because they went, "Oh, now I need the studio at home. Oh, now I need this technology so that the files can be sent to me. I need my microphones, everything tuned up."  Mark Bassingthwaighte:  Yeah.  Jeff Brandt:  You still find a way to do it, and I think that we will. I've never bought that line about AI and knock on wood, that it's going to come together and destroy the human race. I think that's silly.  Mark Bassingthwaighte:  Yeah, I do too.  Jeff Brandt:  I think what it's going to do is it's going to be one of those things where we just have to be careful how we use it.  Mark Bassingthwaighte:  Mm-hmm. Yeah.  Jeff Brandt:  I think you could say we have to be careful. We have to be careful about how we drive Hummers.  Mark Bassingthwaighte:  Yeah.  Jeff Brandt:  We have to be careful about not making buildings too tall.  Mark Bassingthwaighte:  Right.  Jeff Brandt:  We have to be careful about not making wave machines so powerful that kids get knocked over when they're going to a wave machine at a water park to have fun. It's pretty simple stuff.  Mark Bassingthwaighte:  Yeah. I want to thank you for taking the time to sit down and talk. You have said so eloquently, things that I have trouble saying. I can't put it into words in the same way you do. All I can say is, folks, Jeff, the insights here, what I'm trying to get across, I hope it's self-evident now, you're summarizing all this just perfectly. That's it. I appreciate your coming. I'll let all of you get back to work.

Things to Come? Pray David Eells – 7/10/24 (audio) Dana Coverstone (Notes in blue) 5/19/23  (David's notes in red) (This revelation seems to be the backlash of the DS against the supporters of the Alliance and the people in general.)  Preface: Dana said that this dream lasted from April 17th to May 16th, almost a month, almost 30 days, it's been one the longest dreams he's had.    The dream began with me sitting in the top of a very tall tree, looking down on fog and mist that hung over the entire nation. It was covering over Canada and Mexico as well. It did not cover the water, just this nation, only the land. (It appears as a fog but is man-made and controlled. Prevailing winds would normally remove it.) I can see the physical land covered in fog. It covered Canada and Mexico as well, but it looked like the fog was churning. It was moving. It was staying in place over the United States of America, (This is Man-made and controlled. Chemtrails gage the prevailing winds to put their poison where they want it.) but not [staying] over Mexico or Canada. It reminded me of a locust swarm that you can see like in a National Geographic photo. (The locusts in Joel 2 were the Assyrian army that was able to take down apostate northern 10 tribes but not the Bride, Jerusalem.) It was just moving effortlessly, but it was also frothing. It was like the steam coming off of hot coffee or hot cocoa or hot tea or something. But what it covered was thick and you cannot see anything below what you were seeing from the top of the fog. (True fog skips dry areas and manifests over damp watery places.) And as I was pondering the moving of the fog, is when the man appeared to me, and I believe the man is Jesus or represents the Holy Spirit at times, but he came out and he simply said, “Let me show you something.” And he grabbed my hand, and we stepped out into the air. Because I was in a tall tree, looking down, I was kind of hanging, you know, like holding on to a limb with my feet just looking at it. I'm thankful that God sees all the things that are going on. He knows what's coming, he knows what's happening. And I just had that sense as I was watching that I was about to be instructed or told some things. We descended down through the fog, we were not flying, it was like we were walking. The fog seemed to be very evil and very intentional. It appeared to try to reach out and grab me with these eerie ethereal arms. (It is a menace to man and will kill many.) It was almost like the fog was alive. (It is alive with disease) It was dark, it was evil, but it was trying to grab hold…   The man led me on until he reached the ground and then he said, “Look up.” When he said that, I realized that the fog was gone, but I could see jets that were flying in all directions and it appeared to be almost 7:00 or 7:30 at night. It was dusk. (How often we have seen this same thing? Chemtrails.) The lights were going off as people were getting ready for bed. Darkness was hitting; it was almost like I could see traffic had stopped and people were home going to bed and to get ready for work the next day. (Poisoned as they slept.)  So I'm watching all these jets that are going back and forth, north, south, east and west, flying in all directions. It was obviously dusk and the lights were going out. And that's when I realized that I heard this loud hissing and every single jet was spraying something out of the exhaust. (We would call these things chemtrails.) And the jets flying north would be going north for a while. Then suddenly turn around and come back and spray the same way. The ones going east would go east for a couple miles and then come back and it was like regional. It wasn't like one jet going all the way north and south, it was not just east and west. It was like this in every state, there were jets flying over in every state, every region, every area, in that sense. And the jets flying east, and west were doing what the ones going north were doing. They kept blanketing the country in whatever it was spraying. The time passed and the jets disappeared. (In A.A. Allen's vision he saw the same thing and then people started dropping dead everywhere in the U.S.) Then I saw people getting up leaving their houses and going to work. So all of this stuff was being done at night. And the sense that I have about it was a whole lot of evil that's going on right here and right now in our world. This spraying was going on at night when no one was aware. No one was watching and no one was awake. Almost as if there was some elite and corporate plan to poison the nation. (It's a Satanic depopulation cult.) On July 1st Michael and I had a very similar thing happen to us. As we were headed into the city for our prayer meeting, I saw clouds that were black and mentioned to Michael that we had just been chemtrailed. Later, after we left the meeting, we started smelling that burnt smell in the air and it got worse and worse and darker and darker as we approached the lower part of downtown. This part reminded me of Dana's experience of looking down from treetop level and seeing the dense darkness and then when he descended, he looked up and saw the dense blackness that could not be seen through. It was just like this as we dropped about a tree's distance down to the lower part of town. We could only see light at the horizon and the smell was far worse than we have ever experienced. It was a choking feeling. It stayed with us until we got to the house and went inside, where the atmosphere was totally different. My angel told me that they had hit a few cities before they grounded the planes. Back to Dana's revelation: Once again the fog was over Mexico and Canada, but it was not moving anywhere except the United States of America. (Also, I realized that this is probably a real conspiracy, these things that were going on, the things that we're seeing in that regard. And it's all happening at night, so nobody sees them.) People are getting up for school, getting on the buses and going to school. And then the next thing that I see happening is this, I was standing in Times Square watching those jumbotron television screens with a breaking news item of a major outbreak of a new virus. Now, the timeline that I could tell in the dream is late summer, early fall as the news broadcast we're talking about this.   The World Health Organization was laying out guidelines that must be followed regardless of constitutions or national law. (This is to kill the population and make money for the DS pharmaceutical companies.) Those are the two words they used, “regardless of constitutions or national law”. There were military tanks and Hummers, that started patrolling as the announcements were being made. And I said to the man that the jets appeared to be the source of the medical issue.   (So here I saw that the news was complicit and almost an accomplice with what was going on and what was being said. Obviously somebody was behind this; it was happening at night. And so who knows if that's the cause (of the disease). All we realize is that there is something sinister happening in our world and it's being allowed. It's being pushed probably by those in power.)  Evangelist A.A. Allen's Vision First "Thou shalt not be afraid for the terror by night, nor for the arrow that flyeth by day, nor for the pestilence that walketh in darkness, nor for the destruction that wasteth at noonday". (Psalms 91:5-6) Then as I watched, another amazing thing was taking place. Far to the northwest, just out over Alaska, a huge, black cloud was arising. As it rose, it was as black as night. It seemed to be in the shape of a man's head. As it continued to arise, I observed two light spots in the black cloud. It rose further, and a gaping hole appeared. I could see that the black cloud was taking the shape of a skull (A skeleton Skull has been the symbol of poison.), for now the huge, white, gaping mouth was plainly visible. Finally, the head was complete. Then the shoulders began to appear; and on either side, long, black arms. It seemed that what I saw was the entire North American continent, spread out like a map upon a table with this terrible skeleton-formed cloud arising from behind the table. It rose steadily until the form was visible down to the waist. At the waist the skeleton seemed to bend toward the United States, stretching forth a hand toward the east and one toward the west--one toward New York and one toward Seattle. As the awful form stretched forward, I could see that its entire attention seemed to be focused upon the United States, overlooking Canada at least for the time being. As I saw the horrible black cloud in the form of a skeleton bending toward America, bending from the waist over, reaching down toward Chicago and out toward both coasts, I knew its one interest was to destroy the multitudes. As I watched in horror, the great black cloud stopped just above the Great Lakes region and turned its face toward New York City. Then out of the horrible, great gaping mouth began to appear wisps of white vapor which looked like smoke, as a cigarette smoker would blow puffs of smoke from his mouth. These whitish vapors were being blown toward New York City. The smoke began to spread until it had covered all the eastern part of the United States. Then the skeleton turned to the west and out of the horrible mouth and nostrils came another great puff of white smoke. This time it was blown in the direction of the west coast. In a few moments' time the entire West Coast and Los Angeles area were covered with its vapors. Then toward the center came a third great puff. As I watched, St. Louis and Kansas City were enveloped in its white vapors. Then on they came toward New Orleans…. Suddenly the silence was shattered by the screaming of sirens. The sirens seemed to scream, "RUN FOR YOUR LIVES!" Never before had I heard such shrill, screaming sirens. They seemed to be everywhere--to the north, the south, the east, and the west. There seemed to be multitudes of sirens; and as I looked, I saw people everywhere running, but it seemed none of them ran more than a few paces, and then they fell. … I now saw millions of people falling in the streets, on the sidewalks, struggling. I heard their screams for mercy and help. I heard their horrible coughing as though their lungs had been seared with fire. (Often warnings like this get out so that God's true people pray the judgment down or even away.) Worldwide paralysis and sifting of the tears (dream) 6/13/24 Andrew Gelinas Matthew 13:49-49 So shall it be in the end of the world: the angels shall come forth, and sever the wicked from among the righteous, and shall cast them into the furnace of fire: there shall be the weeping and the gnashing of teeth. In my dream the first thing I remember was I was loading up a newspaper inserting machine like I used to at the newspaper I worked at about ten years ago. The machine would start running but I had a hard time keeping up with loading the stacks of inserts into it quickly enough so I had to keep hitting the stop button so I could get a tall enough stack in before running it again. (The newspaper represents the good news of the Gospel.  The inserts are what the publishers use to make money off of the good news like many preachers do. But this slows down the ability for the good news to get out quickly. And Jesus said, freely you have received freely give and give and it will be given to you good measure, pressed down, shaken together, and running over.) Then, later on I and another person were handling these strange gem or crystal-like stones at a table while I was still in the newspaper facility. In the dream these objects were somehow the news and were what needed to go into the newspaper. (The gems are the really valuable revelations that people need and are not getting in their churches.)  I was working at breaking off chunks of the clear brittle stone with my fingers. The other stone I saw the other person handling was a purple amethyst color. (Purple represents royalty.  The good news gems bring one into the royal family of Jesus.) Then the dream moved on and I was in a single story house I had never been in before with my wife and brother Colin. We were just kind of hanging out together but I kept feeling anxious that I was late for work and kept asking my brother Colin for the time. I had the feeling of it being earlier in the day because I wasn't dressed for work yet and wouldn't have to get ready for a little while yet. I knew I had to be at work at 3pm so I was startled when he or my wife would tell me it was already 1:15, and at other times I'd ask and it was in the 2 o'clock hour. I had a digital wrist watch on and would try to look at it but the face was hard to read clearly. it would first appear to be 9 or 10am but as I focused my eyes on it more it would change to somewhere in the 1 or 2 o'clock hour. This kept happening over the course of this part of my dream. (You are getting closer to being late to get the good news out freely. Andrew had a revelation that He would be here with us getting the good news out. We believe it. So don't be late.) The next thing I remember, someone held up a screen that showed that Trump was definitely going to win. (This is about to be abundantly clear. The Supreme Court has made rulings that will cancel the vote, Biden, and Congress and give the presidency to Trump.)  As I was looking at it, a scene of a crowded New York City sidewalk appeared. When all at once every person walking on the sidewalk or street collapsed on their backs in a state of paralysis. As they lay there with their eyes rolled back in their heads, I began to hear an unearthly dark sounding voice speaking over them and into their conscience. I could hear what the voice was saying in the dream but don't recall any of it now. (Both the paralysis and the voice are technologically possible now. We have had dreams of the population being stunned and laying on the ground.) Soon after seeing this distressing sight, I became aware that something was happening to the region where I and my family were. It somehow felt like I was on the west coast of the U.S. possibly San Francisco. (never been there in reality) We gazed out across the large bay where the land on the other side of the bay was being inundated and/or attacked by a sky sized swarm of strange lighted entities raining down about 2 or 3 miles away. (Satan and his fallen angels of light falling to earth as in Rev 12 where they are cast down by the saints and the angels of God.) (Here's a real example of what I saw in my dream looked like, only in my dream they were far greater in number.) At that time, we were gathered out on a large deck and looked up and saw vailed behind a thin layer of clouds about a thousand feet up, the heavy traffic of large triangular alien-looking space craft traveling in all directions but in straight lines. (In a grid pattern, like the chemtrail planes, in order to attack the populous.) This was like you would see in Star Wars movies where a planet would have highways in the sky. (These are tr-3b's, which are very fast and maneuverable and can fly in space. These were in the DS possession up until recently but were grounded by angels and given to the Alliance. Since Andrew had this dream I believe this plot has been foiled.) After seeing this we all hurried back into the house and quickly began turning off all of the lights and shutting the curtains. (In hiding from the DS enemy.) The rear of the house overlooking the bay had floor to ceiling windows spanning the length of the house and they continued around the side as well. After we had finished, we all tried to stay very quiet, and I gathered everyone into the living room to sit on the floor in a circle to pray because that was the only defense we knew we had. (YES) I began to pray but only got a few words out when I was hit with full body paralysis just like those I had seen in NYC. (They can pick up your voice from above.)  Then as this went on I began to see this scene from an overhead view. As my figure lay helpless and now alone on the living room floor I was now seeing through the perspective of a 9 or 10 foot tall veiled pitch-black figure who was walking through the closed front door. (The DS satanists are working with demons masquerading as aliens and sometimes humans as we have seen with our own eyes. These have no problem walking through closed doors or walls. These leftist antichrist cities are where they would start to play the alien card because the leftist people are stupid in this regard. Like all angels in the Bible fallen angels can take on a bodily form, large or small.) As it moved through the house toward my paralyzed body he began to speak in the same dead evil voice. I remember he was recalling all of my past sins to me. (This is a dead giveaway. This is a demon whose only defense against Christian's authority over them is to destroy their faith through condemnation for past sins that the Lord has forgiven. Anyone who has dealt with demons very much knows this.)  As he came close to the left side of my body on the floor, suddenly Jesus appeared in brilliant white light and interrupted his accusations and told him that he had taken all of those things on himself and they were buried and gone now. (This good news is the foundation of our faith. The demons fear the authority we have over them.  Luke 10:19 Behold, I have given you authority to tread upon serpents and scorpions, and over all the power of the enemy: and nothing shall in any wise hurt you. But this authority works through faith. Mar 16:17  And these signs shall accompany them that believe: in my name shall they cast out demons …) I believe the above would be part of a bigger plan by the DS. This is from Operation Disclosure: The Deep State is to initiate Project Blue Beam Sky Event – a fake Alien Invasion inside a False Flag Event using fake UFOs, Holograms and advanced Military Sound Weapons, while the Alliance White Hat Military will mimic Project Blue Beam, but have a different outcome that benefits current Alliance Military Strategy War Games. Also, the ten days of communication darkness, martial law, and the EBS declass are coming in a few days. Hallelujah!!! Then the dream ended and I woke up. I find this fact as a confirmation. I tried to send this to you back on 6/14/24 but just noticed that it never got to you because the email address was missing the @ symbol in it even though I copied and pasted it. (This is the second time I have put interpretation in a reply mail. Just earlier as I was about to send it, it disappeared. They are mad and they are losing.)   George Washington's Vision of America The father of our country, George Washington, was a man of prayer. We have all read of how he went to the thicket many times to pray during the winter his army was at Valley Forge; however, little publicity has been given to the vision and prophecy he received at that time. The account of this vision was given in 1859 by an old soldier. He gave it to a writer, Wesley Bradshaw, who published it. In the vision God revealed to George Washington that three great perils would come upon the republic. He was given to know that America was going through the first peril at that time. The old soldier who told the story of the vision said that the nation would soon see the account verified by the second peril descending upon the land. The account is given here as it was reprinted in the U.S. war veterans' paper The National Tribune in December, 1880. The National Tribune is now The Stars and Stripes. This article was reprinted in The Stars and Stripes December 21, 1950. Here is the report of this phenomenal, and most importantly, heavenly message for us at this hour. Wesley Bradshaw wrote: The last time I ever saw Anthony Sherman was on the 4th of July, 1859, in Independence Square. He was then 99 years old and becoming very feeble. But though so old, his dimming eyes rekindled as he gazed upon Independence Hall which he came to visit once more. Withheld Message Disclosed "Let us go into the hall", he said. "I want to tell you of an incident of Washington's life, one which no one alive knows of except myself; and if you live, you will before long see it verified. Mark the prediction; you will see it verified. "From the opening of the Revolution, we experienced all phases of fortune, now good and now ill, one time victorious and another conquered. The darkest period we had, I think, was when Washington, after several reverses, retreated to Valley Forge where he resolved to pass the winter of 1777. Ah! I have often seen the tears coursing down our dear commander's care-worn cheeks as he would be conversing with a confidential officer about the condition of his poor soldiers. You have doubtless heard the story of Washington's going to the thicket to pray. Well, it was not only true, but he used often to pray in secret for aid and comfort. And God brought us safely through the darkest days of tribulation. "One day, I remember it well, the chilly winds whistled through the leafless trees, though the sky was cloudless and the sun shone brightly. He remained in his quarters, nearly all the afternoon, alone. When he came out, I noticed that his face was a shade paler than usual, and there seemed to be something on his mind of more than ordinary importance. Returning just after dusk, he dispatched an orderly to the quarters of an officer who was presently in attendance". An Uninvited Guest "After a preliminary conversation of about half an hour, Washington, gazing upon his companion with that strange look of dignity which he alone could command, said to the latter: 'I do not know whether it is owing to the anxiety of my mind or what, but this afternoon, as I was sitting at this table engaged in preparing a dispatch, something in the apartment seemed to disturb me. Looking up, I beheld standing opposite me a singularly beautiful being. So astonished was I, for I had given strict orders not to be disturbed that it was some moments before I found language to inquire the cause of the visit. A second, a third, and even a fourth time did I repeat my question, but received no answer from my mysterious visitor except a slight raising of the eyes. "By this time I felt strange sensations spreading through me. I would have risen, but the riveted gaze of the being before me rendered volition impossible. I assayed once more to speak, but my tongue had become useless, as if paralyzed. A new influence, mysterious, potent, irresistible, took possession of me. All I could do was to gaze steadily, vacantly at my unknown visitor. "Gradually, the surrounding atmosphere seemed to fill with sensations and grew luminous. Everything about me seemed to rarefy, the mysterious visitor also becoming more airy and yet more distinct to my sight than before. I began to feel as one dying, or rather to experience the sensations which I have sometimes imagined accompany death. I did not think. I did not reason. I did not move. All were alike impossible. I was only conscious of gazing fixedly, vacantly at my companion". First Great Peril "Presently, I heard a voice saying, 'Son of the Republic, look and learn', while at the same time my visitor extended an arm eastward. I now beheld a heavy white vapor at some distance rising fold upon fold. This gradually dissipated, and I looked upon a strange scene. Before me lay, spread out in one vast plain, all the countries of the world--Europe, Asia, Africa, and America. I saw rolling and tossing between Europe and America the billows of the Atlantic, and between Asia and America lay the Pacific. 'Son of the Republic', said the same mysterious voice as before, 'look and learn'. "At that moment I beheld a dark, shadowy being, like an angel, standing, or rather floating in mid-air, between Europe and America. Dipping water out of the ocean in the hollow of each hand, he sprinkled some upon America with his right hand while with his left he cast some over Europe. Immediately a cloud arose from these countries and joined--in mid-ocean. For a while it remained stationary, and then it moved slowly westward until it enveloped America in its murky folds. Sharp flashes of lightning gleamed through it at intervals, and I heard the smothered groans and cries of the American people". (This may be interpreted to have been the Revolutionary War, then in progress.) Second Great Peril "A second time the angel dipped water from the ocean and sprinkled it out as before. The dark cloud was then drawn back to the ocean in whose heaving billows it sank from view. "A third time I heard the mysterious voice saying, 'Son of the Republic, look and learn'. I cast my eyes upon America and beheld villages and towns and cities springing up one after another until the whole land from the Atlantic to the Pacific was dotted with them. Again, I heard the mysterious voice say, 'Son of the Republic, the end of the century cometh. Look and learn'. "And this time the dark shadowy angel turned his face southward. From Africa (Slavery) I saw an ill-omened specter approach our land. It flitted slowly and heavily over every town and city of the latter. The inhabitants presently set themselves in battle array against each other. (The Civil War) As I continued looking, I saw a bright angel on whose brow rested a crown of light on which was traced the word 'Union'. He was bearing the American flag. He placed the flag between the divided nation and said, 'Remember, ye are brethren'. (Reconciliation) "Again I heard the mysterious voice saying, 'Son of the Republic, look and learn'. At this the dark shadowy angel placed a trumpet to his mouth and blew three distinct blasts; and taking water from the ocean, he sprinkled it upon Europe, Asia, and Africa". Third and Most Fearful Peril (The present war) "Then my eyes beheld a fearful scene. From each of these continents arose thick black clouds that were soon joined into one; and throughout this mass there gleamed a dark red light by which I saw hordes of armed men. These men, moving with the cloud, marched by land and sailed by sea to America, which country was enveloped in the volume of cloud, and I dimly saw these vast armies devastate the whole country and burn the villages, towns, and cities which I had seen springing up. "As my ears listened to the thundering of the cannon, clashing of the swords and the shouts and cries of millions in mortal combat, I again heard the mysterious voice saying, 'Son of the Republic, look and learn'. Where the voice had ceased, the dark shadowy angel placed his trumpet once more to his mouth and blew a long and fearful blast". Heaven Intervenes "Instantly, a light as of a thousand suns shone down from above me and pierced and broke into fragments the dark cloud which enveloped America. At the same moment the angel upon whose head still shown the word 'Union' and who bore our national flag in one hand and a sword in the other, descended from the heavens attended by legions of white spirits. (The angels intervene) These immediately joined the inhabitants of America who I perceived were well-nigh overcome but who, immediately taking courage again, closed up their broken ranks and renewed the battle. "Again, amid the fearful noise of the conflict I heard the mysterious voice saying, 'Son of the Republic, look and learn'. As the voice ceased, the shadowy angel for the last time dipped water from the ocean and sprinkled it upon America. Instantly the dark cloud rolled back, together with the armies it had brought, leaving the inhabitants of the land victorious. "Then once more I beheld the villages, towns, and cities springing up where I had seen them before, while the bright angel, planting the azure standard he had brought in the midst of them, cried with a loud voice, 'While the stars remain and the heaven send down dew upon the earth, so long shall the UNION last'. And taking from his brow the crown on which blazoned the word 'Union', he placed it upon the standard while the people, kneeling down, said, 'Amen'". Interpretation "The scene instantly began to fade and dissolve, and I at last saw nothing but the rising, curling vapor I at first beheld. This also disappeared, and I found myself once more gazing upon the mysterious visitor who, in the same voice I had heard before, said, 'Son of the Republic, what you have seen is thus interpreted: Three great perils will come upon the republic. The most fearful for her is the third, but the whole world united shall not prevail against her. Let every child of the republic learn to live for his God, his land and UNION'. With these words the vision vanished, and I started from my seat and felt that I had seen a vision wherein had been shown me the birth, the progress, and destiny of the United States". "Such, my friends", the venerable narrator concluded, "were the words I heard from Washington's own lips, and America will do well to profit by them". From LIFE MESSENGERS - Seattle, Washington

Judgement on the U.S.  (audio) David Eells - 9/13/23  Dream of Judgement Coming  Alenna Timoshchuk 8/30/23 (David's notes in red)    I dreamt that I was in the Walmart parking lot with my mom and daughters. We had set up camping chairs in the back and were there to watch a meteor shower and to see a sign in the sky. While we were waiting, I saw chaos happening all around me. I knew that everyone was boycotting the grocery stores, Panera Bread, Starbucks, Save a Lot,  and anyone who was weak and would enter to get groceries for their family, the people boycotting would attack them. Some were even lighting their cars on fire to scare off anyone else from trying to shop. I thought that I needed to wake up and tell my husband my dream but then slipped into another one. (These leftist terrorists are probably agitated by the DS because Walmart is being bought out by moral conservatives as is Amazon and other immoral businesses. These conservative groups are against the depravity pushed on the public by these chain stores plus the trafficking being discovered.) I was with my husband in my parents' house and my girls were asleep in another room. I started sharing my dream with him and noticed a massive storm approaching. I knew we needed to be in a safe room during the storm, so I went to get my daughters and I saw that my oldest had woken up and gone outside and was playing with a cousin. I ran out and got her and told the other little girl to run home because a huge storm is coming, and the wind had already picked up to really strong winds. My little cousin excitedly asked me if we were going to heaven, and I told her not just yet.  Then again, I started thinking that I needed to tell my husband my dream but that I need to get a verse by faith at random first and two places from the Bible popped into my mind Matthew 11:22 and Mark 11:13. I had no idea what these verses were but I knew the Lord put them in mind. Then I woke up so I could write them down before I'd forget.  Mat 11:22 But I say unto you, it shall be more tolerable for Tyre and Sidon in the day of judgment, than for you. Mar 11:13 And seeing a fig tree afar off having leaves, he came, if haply he might find anything thereon: and when he came to it, he found nothing but leaves; for it was not the season of figs.  I felt that this dream was telling me the Lord's judgement is coming very quickly. (Judgments are coming from the DS that will depopulate many.)     Tsunami Judgement Coming  Tianna Fire 2/8/23 (David's notes in red)   I dreamt we were with the local brethren, and we all lived next to each other in a community. A warning came from God in an audible voice, and He said, "A tsunami is coming." (Tsunamis are destructive surges of water that can hit land. This could represent a spiritual tsunami bringing judgement on the wicked.)   The brethren were all cheering that God had given warning this time. (Which we are doing now)  The brethren spoke about the last time there was a giant tsunami and storm, but God didn't tell them it was coming and that it had wiped out everyone except the UBM brethren.(God gives us warnings of judgments so we can be ready ourselves and warn others so they can repent from sin and turn to the Lord. 1Jn 4:17 Herein is love made perfect with us, that we may have boldness in the day of judgment; because as he is, even so are we in this world   Many judgements will wipe out the wicked and take some righteous home by God's mercy. Psa 91:8 Only with thine eyes shalt thou behold, And see the reward of the wicked. Psa 37:38 As for transgressors, they shall be destroyed together; The end of the wicked shall be cut off. Passovers are coming.)  Last time everyone was in the water and having to tread over all the waves and all the brethren were gathered near each other in the water. (The Body of Christ needs to stay together and tread above the curse of the waters of the Word of God and not let faction separate them.) It was so dark and there were storms and vicious waves and for three days they had to do this. (The storms and treading the waves of water represent the trials of our faith in the promises, which will save us from the judgments.)   Because of their faith and strength in Christ, they were preserved, but all the other people were taken out by the tsunami. (2Ti 4:18 The Lord will deliver me from every evil work, and will save me unto his heavenly kingdom... Psa 34:17 The righteous cried, and Jehovah heard, And delivered them out of all their troubles.  ...19  Many are the afflictions of the righteous; But Jehovah delivereth him out of them all. Exo 12:13  … when I see the blood, I will pass over you, and there shall no plague be upon you to destroy you, when I smite the land of Egypt. I asked some of the sisters how they were able to tread on the water with their three children each and a few of the children were able to tread themselves or the children were strapped to their parents with a carrier. (Parents are to teach their children the Word and how to walk by faith so they know how to go through trials too. Deu 11:19 And ye shall teach them your children, talking of them, when thou sittest in thy house, and when thou walkest by the way, and when thou liest down, and when thou risest up. Pro 22:6 Train up a child in the way he should go…)  I honestly had much fear of maybe having to tread in dark open water and I was worried about sharks. But the brethren said because God has warned us this time, we won't have to do that.(When we go through our trials in faith and obedience and overcome them, we don't have to go through them again and again.)   We all grabbed what we needed and walked to the highest point on the biggest hill in the town.(Representing our walk to get to Mt Zion and be in Jerusalem, who is the Bride.) When we got to the top there was a giant tree that we all climbed and got on top. (This giant tree represents the Tree of Life, The tongue that speaks God's promises. Pro 3:18 She is a tree of life to them that lay hold upon her: [Wisdom] And happy is every one that retaineth her.  Pro 15:4 (Hebrew) the healing of the tongue is a tree of life… Rev 2:7 … To him that overcometh, to him will I give to eat of the tree of life...)  We could see the view over the whole town and the water and there was a giant storm forming and waves rushing. (This giant storm forming could be DS plagues and other planned attacks.) We then saw other people from the town running to the hill to try and get up high. Then giant waves started rushing through the town and everyone not on the hill was washed away. (Many people are unaware and ignorant of the coming storm. We need to be abiding in Christ now, dwelling in heavenly places which is by faith in His promises.)  Some other people were on the hill and started running to the top. But then another giant wave crashed on the hill and everyone not on the tree was taken out. The storm lasted about 5 days but we were all content praising God from the tree and again UBM brethren were the only ones left alive from the town. (Representing only those who believe the true Word will escape.)      Knock Out Punch Prophecy  Dr. Patricia Green (David's notes in red)  https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1A1TDyzRQLE   Today's video is called the Knockout Punch prophecy, which the Lord gave me on July 22, 2023. As I sat down to receive this message, the very first words that I heard was, “Knockout Punch.” And the Lord said, “I am delivering the knockout blow to the worldwide elites who have controlled the politics, the financial world and the pharmaceutical industry; and yes, I say industry because that is what it is. By no means does Big Pharma have the interest of making people well or healing them. Just the opposite. They create drugs to make people dependent on them so they can line their pockets with trillions of dollars.  The Lord said, “I have put my glove on and with one blow I will remove the global elites who hide in the shadows and control the people, says the Lord.” The Lord said, “I say enough. I have had enough of their wickedness. I have had enough of their deceit and control and manipulation. I have had enough of them controlling the wealth. For with My knockout punch, I will strip them of their wealth, which is built on a false system and layers of lies.”  Patricia says, now I find this part quite amusing. The Lord said, “The wealthy elites will, be like, the emperor who wore no clothes, in this children's storybook called,The Emperor's New Clothes. It was a shyster who convinced the emperor that he was weaving him a beautiful robe, but in fact there was no robe; it was imaginary. He further convinced the emperor to parade through the city in his glorious robe that did not exist. (This could represent the fake Biden presidency, who is only a puppet, along with all the political parties, who are an “imaginary” show, and they will all be exposed and declassed.) This is the same fate as the global elites, says the Lord.” “It was the common people who revealed to the emperor that he was naked and without any royal apparel. It will be the common people who will strip the elites of their fine apparel, their riches and their properties; and the elites will be naked and exposed, says the Lord of host.” (The prayers of the righteous to bring down the DS globalist, satanist bunch. We continue to send the angels to drain the swamp! Eph 5:11 and have no fellowship with the unfruitful works of darkness, but rather even reprove them; and Joh 3:20 For every one that doeth evil hateth the light, and cometh not to the light, lest his works should be reproved.)   “How, do you say, can this happen?” “Because they are so powerful and so rich and so hidden.” But the Lord says, “But I say, nothing is impossible with Me, says the Lord of hosts.” “How could the entire army of Pharaoh and Pharaoh himself be swallowed up in the Red Sea, and yet I did that, says the Lord.” “No one in Israel could have imagined that their enemies against them could be here one minute and the next minute forever gone. Forever annihilated. (No one could have imagined that with one word the satanists who followed Kevin would all be destroyed in a moment.)  I Am that same God. I created the earth and everything in it. It all belongs to Me, says the Lord.” “The heavens are My throne, and the earth is My footstool.”  “Who is man that I Am mindful of him, says the Lord.” “I say man is My creation and I will not tolerate the altering of men, women and children. For that is the work of the enemies to try and improve and alter and change My creation. No one knows My mind or My power except My Son. So, if you want a glimpse into My thoughts and a glimpse of My power, come to My Son and ask Him to reveal Me; to reveal Me, Your Heavenly Father. For I AM Almighty, all powerful, all knowing and ever-present. I AM the Great I AM, and I AM, has spoken.”   “Now go My children and declare My words in this earthly realm. Declare all that I have spoken and already given to My true prophets; for when you declare My words, you are taking your spiritual authority on this.”Luke 10:19 Behold, I give you authority to trample on serpents and scorpions, and over all the power on the enemy, and nothing shall by any means on you. The Lord said, “Use your voice, My children; lift up your voice in one accord for your voice has power, My power, says the Lord.”       “Let Me Show You Something”  Dana Coverstone 5/19/23 (David's notes in red)  https://www.youtube.com/live/Fmmd82K8fQw?feature=share   (This revelation seems to be the backlash of the DS against the supporters of the Alliance and the American people in general.)  Preface: Dana said that this dream lasted from April 17th to May 16th, almost a month, almost 30 days, it's been one the longest dreams he's had.   The dream began with me sitting in the top of a very tall tree, looking down on fog and mist that hung over the entire nation. (The tree is the tongue that speaks deliverance from the curses as in revelations above.) It was covering over Canada and Mexico as well. It did not cover the water, just this nation, only the land. (It appears as a fog but is man-made and controlled. Prevailing winds would remove it.) I can see the physical land covered in fog. It covered Canada and Mexico as well, but it looked like the fog was churning. It was moving. It was staying in place over the United States of America, (Man-made and controlled) but not over Mexico or Canada. It reminded me of a locust swarm that you can see like in a National Geographic photo. (The locusts in Joel 2 were the Assyrian army that was able to take down apostate northern 10 tribes but not the Bride, Jerusalem.)  It was just moving effortlessly, but it was also frothing. It was like the steam coming off of hot coffee or hot cocoa or hot tea or something. But what it covered was thick and you cannot see anything below what you were seeing from the top of the fog. (True fog skips dry areas and manifests over damp watery places.) And as I was pondering the moving of the fog, is when the man appeared to me, and I believe the man is Jesus or represents the Holy Spirit at times, but he came out and he simply said, “Let me show you something.” And he grabbed my hand, and we stepped out into the air. Because I was in a tall tree, looking down, I was kind of hanging, you know, like holding on to a limb with my feet just looking at it. I'm thankful that God sees all the things that are going on. He knows what's coming, he knows what's happening. And I just had that sense as I was watching that I was about to be instructed or told some things.  We descended down through the fog, we were not flying, it was like we were walking. The fog seemed to be very evil and very intentional. That it appeared to try to reach out and grab me with these eerie ethereal arms. (It is a menace to man and will kill many.) It was almost like the fog was alive. (It is alive to spread disease) It was dark, it was evil, but it was trying to grab hold…   The man led me on until he reached the ground and then he said, “Look up.” When he said that, I realized that the fog was gone, but I could see jets that were flying in all directions and it appeared to be almost 7:00 or 7:30 at night. It was dusk. (How often we have seen their chemtrails.) The lights were going off as people were getting ready for bed. Darkness was hitting; it was almost like I could see traffic had stopped and people were home going to bed and to get ready for work the next day. (Poisoned as they slept.)  So, I'm watching all these jets that are going back and forth, north, south, east and west, flying in all directions. It was obviously dusk and the lights were going out. And that's when I realized that I heard this loud hissing and every single jet was spraying something out of the exhaust. (Now we would call these things chemtrails…) And the jets flying north would be going north for a while. Then suddenly turn around and come back and spray the same way. The ones going east would go east for a couple miles and then come back and it was like regional.  … It was like this in every state…They kept blanketing the country in whatever they were spraying. The time passed and the jets disappeared. (In A.A. Allen's vision he saw the same thing and then people started dropping dead everywhere in the U.S. except the saints were in a high mountain praising the Lord in safety.)  Then I saw people getting up and going to work. So all of this stuff was being done at night…when no one was aware… Almost as if there was some elite and corporate plan to poison the nation. (It's a Satanic depopulation cult trying to stop the transfer of their stolen wealth and their own demise.)  Once again, the fog was over Mexico and Canada, but it was not moving anywhere except the United States of America. … People are getting up for school, getting on the buses and going to school. And then the next thing that I see happening is this, I was standing in Times Square watching those jumbotron television screens with a breaking news item of a major outbreak of a new virus. Now, the timeline that I could tell in the dream is late summer, early fall as the news broadcast, we're talking about this.  The World Health Organization was laying out guidelines that must be followed regardless of constitutions or national law. (This is to kill the population and make money for the DS pharmaceutical companies.) Those are the two words they used, “regardless of constitutions or national law”. There were military tanks and Hummers, that started patrolling as the announcements were being made. And I said to the man that the jets appeared to be the source of the medical issue.      Coming Plandemic  Isaac Payne - 9/6/2023  In this dream I was walking in a suburb during the daytime. The houses in the suburb were single level ranches. Upon research, I found that ranch style homes became popular after World War II due to young soldiers looking for affordable housing for their families. This style was fast & easy for developers.  I believe that this neighborhood symbolizes that the communities of today's civilians believe we are post-war, hence the developed ranch style homes. However, I believe we are still pre-war. (Yes, they are already celebrating the end of this war, but Rev 6 clearly shows the Man-child coming just before a real worldwide war.)  Although, during the construction of these homes in the 1950's & 60's the Vietnam war happened. This correlates with the dream I had before this dream on the same night of 9/6/2023. Could it be that the Afghanistan withdrawal of American troops was to allocate the US's manpower to another cause or war, whether internally or externally? To briefly summarize the second dream and to show how it correlates with this dream I'll elaborate. In this brief dream, there was a military pilot. The whole dream had a 1980's movie vibe to it. In this dream I thought I was watching a 1980's film. The person playing the pilot was Tom Cruise. The name Tom means twin. Also, Cruise is a play on words. I think this represents that pilots in the air seem to be just "cruising" in the skies, however it is anything but. Plus, the name Tom is such an American name. Many celebrities and famous Americans have the name Tom. These people seem like everyday citizens and the name Tom is a name that is easy to pronounce and for Americans to identify with. However, the name Tom is not the same as Thomas. Maybe they derived from the same place and seem as "twin" in name, but there is only Christ and Anti-Christ and I think we know Christ lived in Thomas. Thinking further on "Twin," I think of Jacob & Esau. Born at the same time but yet two totally different vessels.  Rom 9:21-24 Or hath not the potter a right over the clay, from the same lump to make one part a vessel unto honor, and another unto dishonor? 22 What if God willing to show his wrath, and to make his power known, endured with much longsuffering vessels of wrath fitted unto destruction: 23 and that He might make know the riches of his glory upon vessels of mercy, which he afore prepared unto glory, 24 even us, whom He also called, not from the Jews only, but from the Gentiles?   I believe Tom Cruise represents the government and vessels of destruction. Back to the dream, Tom Cruise was dating a woman, and they had a child. The Child rebelled against his dad in the dream and went to Vietnam to go to war. (Dating a woman and not married equals being out of covenant with God and not yoked to bride. Child out of wedlock represents fruit that is shameful, fruit that is unlawful hence bad. Rebellious to dad means exactly that: rebels against God.) As Tom cruise was in Vietnam, he ended up being captured by the Vietnamese. (It's also worth noting that the pilots that went to Vietnam performed low level chemtrails hence Agent Orange. This is actually an old war tactic. It was told to the people in America and in Vietnam that agent orange was only a herbicide and only affected the vegetation and was to help visibility for Americans fighting in the dense jungle. This all correlates to this first dream where I was in the suburbs with ranch style homes.)  Back to the original dream. I was standing in the suburb with ranch style homes, and I noticed with me was two individuals. Naturally one of the people is a friend of mine and the other is just an acquaintance. They are named Justin (my friend) and the other is named Jimmy. (an acquaintance) (The name Justin means just, upright, or righteous. The name Jimmy means supplanter.) We were all walking in this neighborhood together during the daytime. I looked up and noticed the whole entire sky was covered in chemtrails. It was a blanket of chemtrails and the chemtrails produced a fog that was quickly descending and yet the gases of the chemtrail were dense even upon descending to the ground. I saw the sky being blanketed with chemtrails. I saw many airplanes dusting the sky blocking out any part of it that was blue. This wasn't a squadron of airplanes; this was a fleet. Also, I saw that some airplanes were making tight circular patterns while descending to the earth which created like a tornado effect of chemtrails. I could feel my heart grow heavy because I knew this was an all-out war on America. However, I also knew that it was our own country and politicians that were responsible for this eradication of the American civilians. I was also able to perceive that this man-made plague was unlike anything the world had experienced and that this plague was a death sentence as the causality rate would be incredibly high. (This was like A.A. Allen's dream of chemtrails that dropped people dead in their tracks all over the U.S. except for the righteous who were praising God on a mountain; Mt. Zion?)  As I took my eyes off the chemtrails and looked ahead of me, I saw an older man standing in the road in the direction we were headed. His back was turned to us. The older man had white hair and was wearing a white jacket and a blue hat. As I got closer to this older man, I realized this was Joe Biden or so I thought. He was standing near an ice cream vendor awaiting his ice cream. I tried to step to the side to get a better look at him to verify, but he stepped in the opposite direction so I could not look up close at his face. I was able to see on his jacket was an American flag pendant pinned to his white blazer jacket. I took another sidestep and looked at his face again and he once again attempted to evade me, but I noticed this wasn't really Joe Biden but a look alike. This person was only used for a symbol of American hierarchy and to portray active institutionalism in America. I knew that this person was a shell and the epidemy of a Manchurian candidate. This look alike evaded me and he walked away toward the opposite direction we were going. (I believe the white jacket and blue hat are false indicators portraying an outward pure and heavenly appearance of righteous acts but are quite the opposite. (Since he is an actor he avoids close ups) (Psalms 55:19-23 God will hear, and answer them, even he that abideth from old, the men who have no changes, and who fear not God. He has put forth his hand against such as were at peace with him: he hath profaned his covenant. His mouth was smooth as butter, but his heart was war: his words were softer than oil, yet were they drawn swords. Cast thy burden upon Jehovah, and he will sustain thee: He will never suffer the righteous to be moved. But thou, O God, wilt bring them down into the pit of destruction: Bloodthirsty and deceitful men shall not live out half their days; but I will trust in thee.)   I knew that whoever was controlling this person was also responsible for the chemtrails and the unleashing of the plague upon America.  As the chemtrails were quickly and densely descending, Justin, Jimmy, and I began to run through the neighborhood looking for shelter. As we were running, I noticed my Mammaw, Pat, was outside trying to get my attention. (Patsy means nobleman or aristocrat. Aristocrat means family of high social rank or stature. I believe she resembles many American families and how they think. Compared to the rest of the world, a family in America is of high stature in the grand scheme of wealth and provision.) She ran outside her house and asked me what was going on. I told her to look up and explained that this is an internal coup upon Americans. She began to look up and then looked back at me. I could tell she was ignorant and simple minded towards the atrocities that have been and were being committed. Also, I was able to discern that she didn't take much thought of what I said and didn't really believe me. She wasn't rude or high minded about it, she honestly couldn't grasp what I was saying, and it seemed in her mind that life was hunky dory as usual. She did, however, go back inside her house.  Justin, Jimmy, and I continued running down the road looking for safety. We ran to a house in the neighborhood. I am not sure if we went inside or not. However, the three of us were discussing what to do next and how to evade this deadly plague that was now coming in contact with the neighborhood. One of the men with me opened up a case and inside it was a guitar. (Since this was the cure this was probably the righteous one, Justin.) I picked up the guitar and held it in my hands. Immediately when I held the guitar, I knew exactly what to do. I told Justin and Jimmy that we needed to go back to my house and stay inside. This meant that we shouldn't be running down the road any longer to get away from the deadly plague that now covered the streets and neighborhood. We should instead run directly into it because that was where my house was. (Each abiding in one's own house is what was commanded for the Passover.)   I believe the guitar symbolizes worship as it is an instrument of worship. I believe worship is more than just praise with music. I believe it is our thoughts, prayers, way & walk of life, memories of Father's miracles in our own lives, thankfulness, love & giving, etc. are all forms of worship. (Worship in Greek, proskuneo, means, to kiss towards, meaning an act of Love towards God.) I believe what Father showed me in this dream is that the guitar represents that we should continually praise Father in all that we do, and HE will protect, provide, and deliver us in all things. Then I woke up. Psa 149:6 Let the high praises of God be in their mouth, And a two-edged sword in their hand; (Which is clearly the way to conquer an enemy. 7 To execute vengeance upon the nations, And punishments upon the peoples; 8 To bind their kings with chains, And their nobles with fetters of iron; 9 To execute upon them the judgment written: This honor have all his saints. Praise ye Jehovah.)   While looking for this verse, I felt in my heart to check out Psalm 150. This is the last chapter of Psalms. I did not know what it said, but the thought came to my mind that King David was a great warrior; one of the fiercest warriors in the history of all mankind; so, it would be important to see what the last thing that King David had to say. Think of it this way, for example, if a loved one had ever said his last words to an individual, those last words or statements now would have such an impact on the receiving individual for all their lives. Those last words could very well become the receiving individual's lifelong mantra. The departing loved ones many times save their most important statements for this last moment. So, the last statement of Psalms is this:   Psa 150 Praise ye Jehovah. Praise God in His sanctuary: Praise Him in the firmament of His power. 2 Praise Him for His mighty acts: Praise Him according to His excellent greatness. 3 Praise Him with the trumpet sound. Praise Him with psaltery and harp. 4 Praise Him with Timbrel and dance. Praise Him with stringed instruments and pipe. 5 Praise Him with loud cymbals: Praise Him with high sounding cymbals. 6 Let everything that hath breath praise Jehovah. Praise ye Jehovah. (Again this is God's method for us to conquer our enemies.) If Samson's strength was his submission in his hair, then David's strength could be his submission in his praise. When the plagues come down from the sky, just point at them and say "Praise Him in the firmament of His power!"      Python Crushed    Marie Kelton 9/2/23 (David's notes in red)  During the meeting I had an open vision of an ancient Roman temple. I saw the inside of the temple it had what looked like a pool in it. I saw a python go up and around one of the pillars that was in the temple on the right side. The python was going around the edge of the temple. (We are in the time of the end time ten toes of iron and clay, the Roman Empire, and their worship of another Jesus. The python is the old serpent of satan in their body.) Then an earthquake happened, and the temple started collapsing. The python and the stones fell into the pool below. The python was crushed by the stones that fell into the pool. (The iron and clay 10 toes of the end time vision of Daniel was the revived Roman Empire. The Stone cut out of the mountain of God's Kingdom rolled down and crushed it. That is our DS Babylon falling now and in the tribulation. The dragon is the old serpent in the sea of God's people, their pride and persecution of the saints will destroy them. Leviathan the serpent is the king of pride.)  https://beforeitsnews.com/prophecy/2023/09/new-dr-jane-ruby-marburg-fever-already-declared-18-ghz-666-activates-the-jabbed-here-it-comes-w-attorney-todd-callender-2545016.html

It's a great Tuesday to get some people on the road as we talk about Ford's recent cuts to F150 Lighting prices. We also talk about GM selling all the cars they are making, as well as a new solution to solve 2 energy problems at once. The EV pricing wars are heating up as Ford Motor Co. has cut prices for its F-150 Lightning electric pickup trucks between $6,000 to $10,000, depending on the model. Marin Gjaja, the chief customer officer for Ford's EV unit, explained the price reductions are due to lower material costs and higher production capacityThe cheapest Lightning model, the commercial-focused Pro trim, will now start at $51,990, still 25% more expensive than at launch in April 2022. The highest-priced trim, the extended-range Platinum model, has been reduced by $6,079 to $93,990Ford is also adding an additional $1000 discount for customers ordering a truck before the end of JulyThe $7500 federal tax credit also applies to trucks under $80k meaning the entry level truck with all current discounts and credits costs: $43,490Ford CEO Jim Farley has previously cautioned against aggressive price cuts, arguing they can damage the resale value of vehicles and disappoint customers who purchased at higher prices.According to Rory Harvey, GM's North America president, the company has strong demand and is having some trouble delivering units to Dealers fast enough. At a Lansing, Michigan event, Harvey said, "At this particular point in time, we could just about sell every product that we can build."He partially credits the management of demand to the fact that "GM very strongly continues to have discipline in terms of incentives…”As far as challenges go, transporting vehicles from the plant to the dealerships by truck or rail is slower than they would like.When it comes to EV sales, Harvey declined to directly attribute the lower-than-expected sales of GM's newest electric vehicles, the GMC Hummer EV and Cadillac Lyriq, to issues with Ultium batteries, a potential bottleneck in production. GM sold 1,348 Lyriqs and 47 Hummers in the second quarter however Harvey predicts a significant increase in the second half of the yearOne California company in Lancaster, California, is giving new life to used EV batteries to store solar power, tackling two key issues in renewable energy: evening supply and battery disposal.B2U Storage Solutions is using retired EV batteries that still retain 60% to 70% of their original charge capacity to connect to a series of solar panels and then sells the solar power back to the grid during peak demand periods in the evening.Their site includes dozens of trailers full of the used EV batteries which can  store solar power for five to six years before being recycled.Supply is the primary constraint but is obviously expected to increase as EV adoption growsThe company is currently profitable.Get the Daily Push Back email at https://www.asotu.com/ JOIN the conversation on LinkedIn at: https://www.linkedin.com/company/asotu/ Read our most recent email at: https://www.asotu.com/media/push-back-email ASOTU Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/automotivestateoftheunion

Plague, Invasion, Revival, Refuge  (audio)  David Eells 5/28/23  A US Military camp at Eagles Pass Texas was bringing in and housing Iran's Revolutionary guardsmen. “This is a well-planned effort to take down the United States of America from inside – an active, well-coordinated invasion into the nation.” …General Flynn   General Flynn Shared This: Eagles Pass Texas – Military Camp (Must See Video) – American Media Group (amg-news.com) Eagles Pass Texas has a military camp where they are housing & bringing young adult military aged men, from the river onto white buses, into this facility. “This has been a planned coordinated effort to take down the United States of America from inside. This is an active, well-coordinated invasion into the nation. We have Iran's Revolutionary Guard & QST forces flying into Venezuela & the Venezuelan government is then giving them passports and proper documentation. If you think that fertilizer is not going to be utilized, that ammonium nitrate that can be used as massive bombs.”  (26 tons of ammonium nitrate turned up missing. Tim McVeigh only used 2 tons to blow up the Murrah Building.) …General Flynn There is an invasion of Chinese “Immigrants” flowing over the Southern Border. I believe most of their reasons are false. The liberal DS is touting it as a victory for what? A military takeover of the country. These are mostly military aged men. Former, Current Border Officials Slam Biden Admin For Touting Success Of Illegal Immigration Policies | The Daily Caller  “We're still in the middle of the worst self-inflicted border security crisis in our lifetime, and they're trying to claim victory,” Morgan added.  Border authorities aren't turning away any migrants using the CBP One phone app, one of the Biden administration's legal pathways, to claim asylum at ports of entry, DHS immigration official Blas Nunez Neto told reporters on a phone call Wednesday. ‘These Numbers Are Staggering': Chinese Migrants Continue To Surge Across Southern Border  | The Daily Caller  "Border Patrol encountered 3,182 migrants from China at the U.S.-Mexico border in April alone, according to CBP data.”  (I already shared a smaller portion of this but thought it important to get out to larger UBM so everyone can pray accordingly.)     “Let Me Show You Something”   Dana Coverstone (Notes in blue) 5/19/23 (David's notes in red) https://www.youtube.com/live/Fmmd82K8fQw?feature=share (This revelation seems to be the backlash of the DS against the supporters of the Alliance and the American people in general.)  Preface: Dana said that this dream lasted from April 17th to May 16th, almost a month, almost 30 days, it's been one the longest dreams he's had.    The dream began with me sitting in the top of a very tall tree, looking down on fog and mist that hung over the entire nation. It was covering over Canada and Mexico as well. It did not cover the water, just this nation, only the land. (It appears as a fog but is man-made and controlled. Prevailing winds would remove it.) I can see the physical land covered in fog. It covered Canada and Mexico as well, but it looked like the fog was churning. It was moving. It was staying in place over the United States of America, (Man-made and controlled) but not over Mexico or Canada. It reminded me of a locust swarm that you can see like in a National Geographic photo. (The locusts in Joel 2 were the Assyrian army that was able to take down apostate northern 10 tribes but not the Bride, Jerusalem.) It was just moving effortlessly, but it was also frothing. It was like the steam coming off of hot coffee or hot cocoa or hot tea or something. But what it covered was thick and you cannot see anything below what you were seeing from the top of the fog. (True fog skips dry areas and manifests over damp watery places.) And as I was pondering the moving of the fog, is when the man appeared to me, and I believe the man is Jesus or represents the Holy Spirit at times, but he came out and he simply said, “Let me show you something.” And he grabbed my hand, and we stepped out into the air. Because I was in a tall tree, looking down, I was kind of hanging, you know, like holding on to a limb with my feet just looking at it. I'm thankful that God sees all the things that are going on. He knows what's coming, he knows what's happening. And I just had that sense as I was watching that I was about to be instructed or told some things. We descended down through the fog, we were not flying, it was like we were walking. The fog seemed to be very evil and very intentional. That it appeared to try to reach out and grab me with these eerie ethereal arms. (It is a menace to man and will kill many.) It was almost like the fog was alive. (It is alive to spread disease) It was dark, it was evil, but it was trying to grab hold…   The man led me on until he reached the ground and then he said, “Look up.” When he said that, I realized that the fog was gone, but I could see jets that were flying in all directions and it appeared to be almost 7:00 or 7:30 at night. It was dusk. (How often we have seen this same thing? Chemtrails.) The lights were going off as people were getting ready for bed. Darkness was hitting; it was almost like I could see traffic had stopped and people were home going to bed and to get ready for work the next day. (Poisoned as they slept.)  So I'm watching all these jets that are going back and forth, north, south, east and west, flying in all directions. It was obviously dusk and the lights were going out. And that's when I realized that I heard this loud hissing and every single jet was spraying something out of the exhaust. (Now we would call these things chemtrails. And I've discussed some of that.) And the jets flying north would be going north for a while. Then suddenly turn around and come back and spray the same way. The ones going east would go east for a couple miles and then come back and it was like regional. It wasn't like one jet going all the way north and south, it was not just east and west. It was like this in every state, there were jets flying over in every state, every region, every area, in that sense. And the jets flying east, and west were doing what the ones going north were doing. They kept blanketing the country in whatever it was spraying. The time passed and the jets disappeared. (In A.A. Allen's vision he saw the same thing and then people started dropping dead everywhere in the U.S.) Then I saw people getting up leaving their houses and going to work. So all of this stuff was being done at night. And the sense that I have about it was a whole lot of evil that's going on right here and right now in our world. This spraying was going on at night when no one was aware. No one was watching and no one was awake. Almost as if there was some elite and corporate plan to poison the nation. (It's a Satanic depopulation cult.)  Once again the fog was over Mexico and Canada, but it was not moving anywhere except the United States of America. (Also, I realized that this is probably a real conspiracy, these things that were going on, the things that we're seeing in that regard. And it's all happening at night, so nobody sees them.) People are getting up for school, getting on the buses and going to school. And then the next thing that I see happening is this, I was standing in Times Square watching those jumbotron television screens with a breaking news item of a major outbreak of a new virus. Now, the timeline that I could tell in the dream is late summer, early fall as the news broadcast we're talking about this.   The World Health Organization was laying out guidelines that must be followed regardless of constitutions or national law. (This is to kill the population and make money for the DS pharmaceutical companies.) Those are the two words they used, “regardless of constitutions or national law”. There were military tanks and Hummers, that started patrolling as the announcements were being made. And I said to the man that the jets appeared to be the source of the medical issue.   The man nodded and said, “There's more to see.” And then we suddenly appeared on the southern border. (So here I saw that the news was complicit and almost an accomplice with what was going on and what was being said. Obviously somebody was behind this; it was happening at night. And so who knows if that's the cause (of the disease). All we realize is that there is something sinister happening in our world and it's being allowed. It's being pushed probably by those in power.) Then he said to me, “There's more to see.”    Suddenly I'm on the southern border. I saw an enormous line of volcanoes that seemed to have sprung up overnight and they were just on the border. They covered from the western point of California all the way to Texas. Literally these were volcanos on the border. (HAARP has the ability to awaken volcanoes and possibly to create them over underground lava flows that flow through huge tunnels made on the border by the DS nuclear boring machines. But also a volcano can represent Hell's demons coming out upon the earth to join with the wicked enemies. Rev 9:2-3 And he opened the pit of the abyss; and there went up a smoke out of the pit, as the smoke of a great furnace; and the sun and the air were darkened by reason of the smoke of the pit. 3 And out of the smoke came forth locusts upon the earth; and power was given them, as the scorpions of the earth have power.)   They were very tall, they shadowed the ground. And I cannot emphasize this enough. It was volcanoes on the border, and they were (shooting) hundreds of miles up into the air. The ground was shaking, seemingly creaking, and the volcanoes trembled, and they started erupting magma and lava. And then suddenly the entire border shook and I saw the volcanoes appear to grow and the ground below them looked like it was torn. Now, like if you've ever seen a tree that gets knocked over in the wind or damaged by a tornado; there was just a little area of the of earth that was open there. Okay, so the volcanoes tip backwards, they're still spewing lava and all these other things. But there was a hole where the volcanoes came up along the entire southern border. (This can only be man-made, like the border itself.)  At that moment all sorts of people dressed like normal migrants came running out and they were sprinting. (This would be in addition to those who have already come across the border and those anarchists and radical muslims already inside the US. And the left wing military faction. It has been reported that millions of migrants are below the border waiting and many are military age men, and also there are many Communist Chinese there to support their DS. MS-13 has been an arm of the DS military too.) They were running as hard and as fast as they possibly could to get into the country. As they ran, they were taking off backpacks and they were pulling out weapons and they were putting them together. There were weapons that can be folded down. They were unfolding and they were pulling them out. They were putting clips in, but they're doing it as they were running. They were running as hard as they could.   The people in the American side were watching the eruptions, watching the magma and the lava and the smoke and the ash cloud and they didn't even notice the people that were running towards them. They pointed to the sky making all sorts of faces and making noises. Almost as if they were watching fireworks, they were just, like “Oh wow! Look at that.” And they pointing over there, and over here and saying things, like, “Look at that!” They were looking up and they did not see any of the people that were rushing towards them. And now the runners were running up and they were shooting. They were teaming up on people, they were storming properties, but they took nothing.   When they went into the homes and the houses, they took nothing, they just shot people. They killed the people. They sprinted on and they were moving with skilled intent and military precision. They would come together to a house, they would go in, and you would see gunfire; they run out, not taking a thing. They were brutal. They showed no mercy. And there were some that carried samurai swords and they were beheading many people along the way. (What I saw was this, that we don't have an immigration issue, we have an invasion going on and what you don't know will kill you. People are looking at the wrong things. People are seeing the whole wrong issue of what's going on out there. Instead of looking at what's really happening and seeing what's really happening and the danger that it is.  We just kind of push it off and think, “Oh, Washington will fix that or whatever.”)   I saw death and destruction. I saw danger. I saw chaos on the border and it was rushing towards us. It was rushing north. This was on purpose, a “dismantling” and this was also on purpose, a “distraction”.    Back at Times Square, the broadcaster was informing citizens that spectacular eruptions on the southern border were getting people out of their homes to watch. So now they're saying, “Hey, hey, folks, you need to go out of your homes and watch these incredible magma fields and watch these incredible volcanic eruptions that are going on. Go outside and watch.” He also encouraged anyone within 100 miles of the border, and that's exactly what he said. He said, “If you live within 100 miles of the border, you need to go outside immediately and see if you can see them from where you are.” (On foot they could not go very far without stealing vehicles from their victims. Maybe 100 miles before the volcanoes were out of view and their attack was discovered and people and the military would take them down.) And I said to the man, that newsman is trying to get people outside so they will be killed and the man nodded. And then he said, “There's more.” (I think all of us know that the news media is complicit with the lies that are coming out of our leadership.)  Suddenly we're standing outside the Capital of Washington, DC. Then I could hear all kinds of noise going on inside the Capitol building. And someone yelling with a bullhorn. (Now look, a bullhorn is just a cheap way to get attention, so if you don't have a sound system or good balance, or stereo or speakers, you use a bullhorn. It's cheap communication.) But these people are talking about taking the country back (Obviously from the Alliance and Trump) and making people listen.   There were screams that seemed very demonic and just wild coming out of humans. It was like growls and screams and cries. Demonic, almost like banshees. And there was a fence outside the Capitol building. They surrounded it. But suddenly police and military came and they tied ropes, like they made loops and threw them up on the tops of the fence, like a noose. And they grabbed the top parts of the fence and they began to pull them down. They were pulling with all their might pulling the fences down. They bent the fences over. They didn't push them out of the way they didn't knock them down. They pulled them down.  (We have been told that military tribunals are being held there at this time. Hence the fence.)  And then just as suddenly, the doors of the Capitol pushed open and the congressmen, congresswomen, senators, faces of people I recognized, people who are in power, leadership, elected officials at the federal level. (Satanists, the head of the dragon devouring the people.) They all came rushing out into the streets and they were jumping and leaping and stepping over those fences. (This could just symbolize that the leftist DC leadership, some under investigation will escape and will join and be behind this invasion against the people. As far as I know they are not meeting in the Capitol anymore.) And they were armed. They were armed with guns and clubs. And they began attacking and beating any citizen that was close. (Symbolizing their abuse of the people.)  They left this extremely bloody trail. And they pursued people, until the people became so exhausted, they dropped from exhaustion, and then they beat them to death. I watched elected officials beat these people to death. (Now I do not think this is what's going to (physically) happen. I think the whole point of it is the people who were there, were the ones that make the laws, the ones who provide for those things out there.) This is horrific because they were beating people to death in the streets and it was getting darker. (Through more demon possession and death.)  It was horrific to the point I said to the man, “Why are our elected officials are doing this to the people?” Well, this time he didn't move, he didn't nod, he didn't move his head at all, but he said, “There's more to see.” And it suddenly became very, very quiet. (Folks, we have laws that are changing and shifting, we have people that believe that men can be pregnant, that men can be women, and women can be men and everything else. And we know better. We absolutely know better. We're starting to see culture believe every single lie that's being pushed out there and then we have new laws are being passed to protect those lies. Think about that.)   The Congress began to beat these people to death. They were attacking ordinary citizens. I saw families taking pictures outside the capital who were just pummelled and beaten down by people and the elected officials who were running, were covered in blood from the people that they had beaten to death. (Meaning they are guilty of the blood of the people.) And they just kept on going, looking for somebody else to attack and beat on. The man didn't move his head when I said, “Why are elected officials doing this to the people?” He didn't move his head at all. He just simply said, “There's more to see.” (Well, obviously, we know what this is. We know the government is corrupt, we know the government is compromised, everything it is and was and it's going to be. It's not to be trusted, it's not going to be a help to us at all.) (And the Alliance has gathered all their crimes to prosecute and in many cases execute them as is going on now. So they are desperately trying to save their lawless lives.)  Continuing with the dream, the difference in what I just heard with the screams for help and the people running was significant. Now everything is quiet. So, I've seen the jets spraying, I've seen the volcanoes erupting and the distraction of the volcanoes going off, and all the people were watching, the people were running out from the border and they were headed out towards anyone they could kill getting to America. And they were headed north, folks. No one was headed South.    Then I was standing on the banks of a river early in the morning. It was early morning; it was quiet and if you're a morning person, you understand there's just a morning feel. There's a small amount of fog that began to dissipate and I can hear frogs croaking in the background. I hear fish jumping in the water. Suddenly, there was no noise at all. It became deathly quiet. I remember it being almost uneasy because it was so quiet. And then the man stood beside me quietly, and he pointed to his head. He did this twice. And he pointed across the river, so he taps on his head, taps near his ear twice and points across the river. So I walked to the edge of the river and I listened as intently as I possibly could, but I could hear nothing. So I began to strain to hear because I knew that the man had pointed twice and tapped his ear twice and making the point that he was telling me to listen.    Finally, I began to hear what sounded like muffled little cries. The fog continue to lift and I can see the sun shining and now I'm looking at a little country church. And it was at the end of this long gravel road. But there were no cars parked near this church. And I could hear people inside that little church. The windows were open and I can hear them crying out. And there was just a wisp of fire, just like if you got a fire that's almost dying. There's a little wisp of a fire that was on the roof of that little church and it's burning. l could see it in the sun. (Fire on the roof represents revival of the Holy Spirit Acts 2:3-4 And there appeared unto them tongues parting asunder, like as of fire; and it sat upon each one of them. 4 And they were all filled with the Holy Spirit, and began to speak with other tongues, as the Spirit gave them utterance. Also in  A.A.Allens vision he heard the sounds of singing and rejoicing and there was a people who were spared in the cleft of the rock and apparently in revival.)    It's a little country church and the windows are open and this long gravel road and but no cars. So I immediately got the idea that nobody drove here. (We have dreams of an EMP hitting the US, which would eliminate the vehicles and most of our military. For there to be any success any planned invasion as we are seeing would likely start with an EMP.)  Everybody walked down this long gravel road. They walked down this uneasy gravel road and they came down there with one reason; that reason was to pray. They were crying out. They were repenting, they were calling out names of elected officials. I heard governors' names. I heard senators' names. I heard congressmen's names. I heard names of leaders in this country. I heard those people calling out their names and asking God to expose the corruption in them, asking God that they would repent. They were asking God for conviction to come to their hearts and lives and their mind. They were praying that corruption would be exposed. That was the highlight of it and they were praying in tongues.  Something else that caught my attention, I heard them speaking, specifically in English and in Spanish. I kept hearing certain Spanish words. And they were praying with a passion. It was refreshing and as I walked closer to the building in this dream, I began to see the people inside. They were packed and there was no walking room. These people were packed together and they were praying and they were praying with passion and there was fire in their prayers and they were going, I mean they were going at it. If you have ever been in a Pentecostal prayer time where the focus is on God and God's presence is there, the fire is hot. This is what I'm saying, it was that type of atmosphere.    There's a table stand with a globe, like a little pillar, with a globe, like one of the things you see in the school, and you could spin it. It was standing on a pillar near the pulpit and there were people who laid their hands on that globe and they were praying for the nations. They were calling out for kings and queens and prime ministers and leaders and officials and presidents. They were calling out the leaders of nations. I heard Zelinski's name. I heard Putin's name. I heard King Charles' name. I heard Trudeau's name. I heard the Mexican president's name. I heard different places from all people who were just praying and this whole room was full. Nobody was talking or looking around. They were engaged in prayer the whole time they were there. They were praying intently. They were focused. There was passion, there was fire.   They laid their hands on that globe and they were praying for the nations, and they were praying for those nations by name. And I began to pray on the outside of the window, and the man said to go tell them he was pleased with their passion, but they must not stop. This was an absolute determined cry on God's behalf, to tell the truth. Don't stop praying. Don't stop praying! Don't think it's too bad. It's too ugly. Don't think it is. We've got to keep praying, folks. And then he said this to me, “Prayer is the most effective way to push back the darkness that is both here and is coming.” (Nobody has to tell us it's going to get worse, we know that it is.)   After he said, “Prayer is the most effective way to push back, the darkness is both here and coming,” He then breathed towards me. Now I'm next to the building looking at him. The building is behind me, the church is behind me with a little fire on the top. He breathed towards me, and it went past me and it felt like a hot breeze on a hot August summer day. It was hot! I mean, it was hot to the touch. This hot breath goes by me. It went through me and even in the dream, and even at night it felt like the hair of my arm was standing up, because of what had just gone past me, the Breath of God! And when it got to the building, it set the entire church on fire. There was fire there before, but when he breathed on it, that's when the fire erupted and it was like the burning bush that was not consumed and even looking in the windows, you can see the fire was inside the building. So they've been praying with passion, passion, passion, a little bit of fire on top. The fire of what Jesus breathed towards us, or towards that church of people praying, it erupted! It was like when you hear that WOOSH sound? That was what it was like.  And people were praying with fire and they were praying loud and they got louder and louder and louder and louder! It was exciting! I have a lot of different emotions when I'm having the dreams. In the dream, it was like, “This is good! This is powerful, Lord! I knew this is what I want for my life!” I turned to look at the man now instead, because I had been looking at the building that had just erupted into flame and burning. I turned to look at the man, but he was gone. But I heard his words, and he said, “I am with you church. I am with you. And there is more to do. Verily, verily, I say unto you.” When he tapped his ear twice and pointed, I knew he was saying, “Church, listen, you need to pray.”       Overcomers and the Evil Army   Tianna Fire 5/21/23 (David's note in red)  I saw all the local brethren together worshiping, and they were all in the light and unity in Christ. I then saw an enormous army of evil spirits of all different kinds, hatred, murder, perversion, unbelief, witchcraft, unforgiveness and so very many more evil spirits. The evil spirits had an enormous variety of weapons and tactics. (What is also true is that these hordes of demons prefer to assault others in a host of wicked humans.)  There were waves of these evil spirits and there were so many it heavily outnumbered the brethren. (Job 10:17 Thou renewest thy witnesses against me, And increasest thine indignation upon me: Changes and warfare are with me. Psa 27:2-3 When evil-doers came upon me to eat up my flesh, Even mine adversaries and my foes, they stumbled and fell. 3 Though a host should encamp against me, My heart shall not fear: Though war should rise against me, Even then will I be confident.)  The evil army got closer and closer to the brethren, but there was this invisible wall and roof of protection around them. The evil spirits couldn't get into this individual house of protection. (Psa 91:1-3 He that dwelleth in the secret place of the Most High Shall abide under the shadow of the Almighty. 2 I will say of Jehovah, He is my refuge and my fortress; My God, in whom I trust. 3 For he will deliver thee from the snare of the fowler, And from the deadly pestilence.)   But the evil spirits could see them (but were not able to touch them), and the evil spirits had such anger and unforgiveness to the brethren (Because they cannot accept that they are forever separated from God and their judgement is pending.) They were jealous of the brethren, because they could see that God loves them and God's grace on them and they could see Jesus in them. The evil spirits hate all of this and are pure evil.   The evil spirits tried to send fear to the brethren by making scary faces (Sometimes seen in the faces of their hosts. vain imaginations, dread, apprehension of evil.) and by trying to get them to doubt God, or by trying to make them think and feel themselves to be unworthy and unholy. (Rejection.) The evil spirits would try to intimidate the brethren by sending lies to cause fear from outside this invisible protection, but these unclean spirits were unsuccessful, because the brethren cast down all unholy thoughts, fears, rejection, doubt, unbelief, etc. (2Co 10:3-6 For though we walk in the flesh, we do not war according to the flesh 4 (for the weapons of our warfare are not of the flesh, but mighty before God to the casting down of strongholds), 5 casting down imaginations, and every high thing that is exalted against the knowledge of God, and bringing every thought into captivity to the obedience of Christ; 6 and being in readiness to avenge all disobedience, when your obedience shall be made full.)    The enemy could not do anything (faith in the promises bind the enemy) because the brethren ignored them. The brethren did not entertain or accept those thoughts and feelings. Instead, they kept their focus on, and being in Jesus, so they were completely protected, and the enemy was defeated. (NENT Eph 4:27 neither give place to the devil. Jas 4:7 Be subject therefore unto God; but resist the devil, and he will flee from you.)      End Time Dream: Man-Child In Training  Samuel Fire 5/25/23 (David's notes in red) I dreamed it was the end-times era. Everything was dry and dusty, and orange colored. (Orange often represents warning, danger or anarchy.) There were no trees or grass, and only dirt. (The wilderness)  Many people were missing and very few people inhabited the city. (The coming destruction will cause many to flee from the cities and to flee from man.) Many homes were vacant. Cars were left scattered everywhere. (People won't be driving their cars, possibly because of EMP, or because of the fuel shortages, loss of jobs, sickness from the JAB, businesses are closing, banks foreclosing, etc.)   Everything was collecting dirt and dust and had a thick layer on anything that had not been used. I was dressed in old clothes, with a rag for a scarf and an old baseball cap with ski-goggles to keep my eyes protected, and I was carrying a backpack. (Luke 17:28 Likewise even as it came to pass in the days of Lot; they ate, they drank, they bought, they sold, they planted, they builded; 29 but in the day that Lot went out from Sodom it rained fire and brimstone from heaven, and destroyed them all: 30 after the same manner shall it be in the day that the Son of man is revealed. 31 In that day, he that shall be on the housetop, and his goods in the house, let him not go down to take them away: and let him that is in the field likewise not return back.)  And Heb 12:1-2 Therefore let us also, seeing we are compassed about with so great a cloud of witnesses, lay aside every weight, and the sin which doth so easily beset us, and let us run with patience the race that is set before us, 2 looking unto Jesus the author and perfecter of our faith, who for the joy that was set before him endured the cross, despising shame, and hath sat down at the right hand of the throne of God.)  I went out because we needed food, even though my wife was very adept at making a big meal from very little ingredients. We now were running very low, and I reluctantly had to go out to source goods. My wife and son were safe and didn't need to go with me. So, I got ready in the early hours before sunrise, so I had as much time as possible to travel and get back home. (We all want to be ready before the Son/sun rises in the man-child, so we don't miss what God is going to do.)   I walked for a very long time, checking many buildings to see whether there were any groceries left in cupboards. I didn't find much, only a couple of can of beans. Along my journey I met a man. He was very cautious. His dress was like the biblical times but also wearing a jacket and a wide brimmed hat. He had a long beard and wore sunglasses. He didn't say very much but he was very friendly. (I asked the Lord who the bearded man is, and my finger was on a list of “sons” from Luk 3:24-38. I think the bearded man represents another brother in Christ, more mature in the ways of Jesus.)  The man led me to a shop, but it was not a typical store. There was barely anything, just a few shelves with hardly anything on them. The shop looked like it was a front for something else. The man then asked me what I was doing out here. I replied, “I'm out here for food. We rely on God for everything.” He said, “Hmm, okay.” (Act 7:11 Now there came a famine over all Egypt and Canaan, and great affliction: and our fathers found no sustenance.)  He then asked one unusual question, “Do you have anything that someone could use to identify you? I said, “I have my wallet.” He said, “Okay.” Then suddenly he said, “Now quickly, get down and pray in silence and don't move.” Then shortly after, a man with a bicycle entered the store. I saw to my side that this other man just stood there staring at me. Then he slowly moved through the store while walking his bike going past me. I saw him open up a secret door and he went through it and closed it behind him.(Hidden in plain sight)  The bearded man and I, got up from kneeling and I said, “There is a secret door here. There must be a secret base behind it.” The man said, “Yes.” I said, “But the door has no locks or password combo.” He said, “Yes, only those led by God will know where it is and would be able to come in.” (Rev 3:8 I know thy works (behold, I have set before thee a door opened, which none can shut), that thou hast a little power, and didst keep my word, and didst not deny my name.)  We went in, and it looked like a small group of maybe 11 or 12 people were in there talking. (12 is the number for the elect, 11 is the number of the elect without Judas.) They looked like they were leaders of refuges and had gathered for a meeting. The man I was with talked to them, and then he came back to me.  He sat me down at a desk and handed me a few sheets with interesting drawings. The drawings were about things required to give up, so you could be able to continue with God and if you had passed all the requirements on the first sheet, you could go on to the next sheet. After all these lists, the group deemed it good to be able to lead a group in a refuge. (1Ti 1:12 I thank him that enabled me, even Christ Jesus our Lord, for that he counted me faithful, appointing me to his service;  Mat 19:29 And every one that hath left houses, or brethren, or sisters, or father, or mother, or children, or lands, for my name's sake, shall receive a hundredfold, and shall inherit eternal life.)   One of the refuge leaders started explaining about all these things, but I forget what they were, except for one that I remembered. As he went down the list, I called out and said, “This one is about lust.” He said, “Yeah. That's the one where so many fall away.” I said, “Wow, okay.” (Rev 12:4 And his tail draweth the third part of the stars of heaven, and did cast them to the earth.) I then asked the group, “What if someone turns up on the opposition; you know, a bad guy?” They said, “God will lead us and tell us when, where, and what to do.” (1Jn 4:1-2 Beloved, believe not every spirit, but prove the spirits, whether they are of God; because many false prophets are gone out into the world. 2 Hereby know ye the Spirit of God: every spirit that confesseth that Jesus Christ is come in the flesh is of God.) Later, after we all had eaten, cleaned up and got into newer clothes, they handed me a bag of canned food to take home.   Then a couple, a man and woman, came in. They appeared to be nice and friendly and were dressed in modern clothes. They said they were just like us. I told the whole group what I thought about them, plainly stating, “They're government. So, what do you do about them?” The man then said, “How did you know that?” I said, “They clearly aren't like us and are pretending to get in.” (Gal 2:4 and that because of the false brethren privily brought in, who came in privily to spy out our liberty which we have in Christ Jesus, that they might bring us into bondage:) The bearded man said, “God will tell us what to do. We are not worried about anything. If we have time, we can gather items and leave. If not, we leave with the shirt of our back and run. God has always protected us.”  Then the impersonating couple reached for a radio or phone and pressed a button. Suddenly I could hear that there were multiple cars driving up to the area. Everyone got up and rushed about and grabbed stuff and ran in different ways out of the base.  I went with the bearded man. We were running through streets and over fences etc. We were being chased by a car and were being shot at by the passenger in the car with a pistol. I became separated from the bearded man, and I ran to the right up an alley. When I came out the other side, I saw a white Mercedes in very good condition. I thought, “I wonder if this is unlocked and if I can use it?” I tried, and it opened. I exclaimed, “Praise God!” I jumped in turned it on first go and it sounded so smooth and powerful, and I drove off. (White vehicle represents power to the sanctified ones.)  I saw the bearded man from before; he was running along the fence line, so I drove to pick him up. Just afterwards the bad guy's car came again and started shooting at us again. I drove the car as the Spirit led me, taking corners like a pro race driver and they couldn't hit us or keep up with our speed. (Rom 8:12-14 So then, brethren, we are debtors, not to the flesh, to live after the flesh: 13 for if ye live after the flesh, ye must die; but if by the Spirit ye put to death the deeds of the body, ye shall live 14 For as many as are led by the Spirit of God, these are sons of God.)  We had to go onto a main road to continue, and then an armoured tank, completely black in color, came up on the horizon towards us.  I thought, “Oh wow, That tank could blow us apart.” The bearded man said, “Never fear.” (Psa 56:2-4 Mine enemies would swallow me up all the day long; For they are many that fight proudly against me. 3 What time I am afraid, I will put my trust in thee. 4 In God (I will praise his word), In God have I put my trust, I will not be afraid; What can flesh do unto me?)  I immediately turned right, and I drove through fences and through yards and into an alley, and then behind many houses. We kept going past many larger homes with huge yards. Strangely, no one was home in any of the places. (The cities are prime targets for invaders and are under the most judgment from God according to the Word. People have left their homes and belongings and fled into the wilderness.) We then saw a drainage area on the side of the road for when if it rained too much and the area flooded. We drove into it and stopped. We both felt calm and knew no one could see us here.   Just then, in the natural, my phone made a noise and I woke up. (Be ready to answer the call to follow Jesus!)      UBM Wilderness Refuge  Tianna Fire 5/24/23 (David's notes in red) I dreamed that there were many people that wanted to go to the UBM refuge, but to get there they had to go through this difficult and dangerous wilderness (This is to test whether a person is ready to enter a refuge or needs more chastening in the wilderness. To the Israelites the wilderness was a filter to keep the wicked from entering the Promised Land. NENT Mat 7:13-14 Enter ye by the narrow gate: for wide and spacious is the way that leadeth unto the destruction, and many are they that enter thereby. 14 Because narrow the gate, and straitened the way that leadeth unto the life, and few are they that find it.)  There was a certain city, and on the outskirts of this city was a giant grassy terrain, and it went on further than you could see. It eventually led to snow and dessert areas also. There were many hills and mountains with caves too. But once you left the city, it was just this wilderness that you saw and no civilization. (Leaving the city of Babylon/Egypt of this world, would be trials and tribulations of the wilderness.)  Many people would come to this area to start their journey to UBM, and mostly people would come in groups, to try and help each other get there. Some people would get lost and were never found again, others would die from animal attacks or from the weather, while some people would return back to the city and only a few people ever made it to the UBM refuge. (Many people have moved here and have been tried and tested to see if they should be part of this holy Body of Christ. Some people never made it here. Several people who have come, have failed in their love tests and have not had a true desire for holiness and submission to Christ. 1Jn 2:19 They went out from us, but they were not of us; for if they had been of us, they would have continued with us: but they went out, that they might be made manifest that they all are not of us.)  I was coming from far away to get to this place, so I flew on a plane to this city, and then I was transported by a vehicle that was like a roller coaster to get to the starting point of the journey in the wilderness. (This represents the mountains and valleys.) The rollercoaster was very high off the ground, and it seemed very unstable, and it was completely packed with many people. (Isa 40:4 Every valley shall be exalted, and every mountain and hill shall be made low; and the uneven shall be made level, and the rough places a plain.)  The rollercoaster travelled fast through the city to the outskirts of the city and suddenly, the rollercoaster started going in circles so fast, and many people fell off the rollercoaster as the seatbelts and everything else was very unstable. (Rollercoaster rides have been used to type many up and down and back and forth trials of life and truly that is where many are headed.)  I held onto the seat with one hand and I almost slipped off, but I asked God for help and God supernaturally kept me from falling off, because naturally I should have fallen off. (NENT Rom 10:13 for, Whoever shall call upon the name of the Lord shall be saved.) The rollercoaster landed on the ground, and there were less than half of us left that were originally on the rollercoaster. (The great falling away.) We were now at the starting point of the journey to the UBM refuge.  We were advised to stick together, and we were given a map on how to get there. (A unity in one corporate Body of Christ.) The whole wilderness area was a gigantic size with different types of areas. (Around the World.)   We stayed together in a group the first day, following what the map said. Towards the evening we found a very run-down, tiny, ancient house. It was completely empty, and the ground inside was dirt, but it protected us from the weather and wild animals. (1Tim 6:8: but having food and covering we shall be therewith content.) We all slept on the floor in there, and heard many wolves howling outside.  I had a dream where God clearly said to me "The map they gave you was made by man and it is not the right instructions to get to UBM”.(This is like many are taught the Bible with carnal interpretations and wont arrive in the Kingdom.) I woke up and knew that I couldn't go any further with what the map said, and I prayed heavily, and God told me that the real way is the complete opposite direction to what the map said. He showed me the next step about where to go next. (Psa 32:8 I will instruct thee and teach thee in the way which thou shalt go: I will counsel thee with mine eye upon thee. Pro 3:5-6 Trust in Jehovah with all thy heart, And lean not upon thine own understanding: 6 In all thy ways acknowledge him, And he will direct thy paths.)  When morning came, I told everyone what God showed me and only five of the people believed me. Everyone else continued to follow the map. Now it was me and five others and we stopped to seek God constantly to get the right directions. (What seemingly is true may be ear-tickling doctrine. All your ways need to be checked with Holy Spirit according to His Word.)   During the day we went through desert and rocky areas, and we ended in grassy terrain. It was now late evening, and we were to start going into desert terrain, but then God stopped me and said, "Don't continue anymore today, stay here tonight and continue tomorrow".  I obeyed and only two others believed me and stayed with me. The other three continued alone into the desert. One of the people that stayed with me said that if those others don't have faith in God to protect them and keep warm, they will freeze overnight. (Ecc 4:9-12 9 Two are better than one, because they have a good reward for their labor. 10 For if they fall, the one will lift up his fellow; but woe to him that is alone when he falleth, and hath not another to lift him up. 11 Again, if two lie together, then they have warmth; but how can one be warm alone? 12 And if a man prevail against him that is alone, two shall withstand him; and a threefold cord is not quickly broken.)   We continued journeying through all different terrains, and a few times God led us into caves to keep warm, and one time he made the resources for a fireplace to appear. My faith kept increasing in the dream, and I got to a point where I believed that God would keep me warm even without a fire and God would protect me from wild animals. (God can do supernatural things through our faith in the promises of Christ.) One night, some hyenas came around us intimidating us, and one of the people with me was fearful and didn't believe God would protect him, so he was taken out. However, the remaining person and I believed, and we were kept safe, and the animals couldn't touch us.   It felt like weeks, maybe months of us walking through this wilderness, but God said we were almost there. It was hot one day, and the other person I was with became weary in his soul, and started becoming weak in spirit and gave into doubt and unbelief, and he died.   I was alone. I kept praying and going on where the Lord said to, and I eventually made it to the UBM area. I was greeted by Chuc, Winnie and Lakeisha. I gave them all a big hug and felt so much love and care from them. Winnie and Lakeisha helped clean me up and gave me clothes and food and they were all so kind. I went and sat on the couch next to the two women. Chuc was on another couch. In the dream he had a British accent and then he started to share his testimony about how he got to UBM. I woke up.      Angels Guide to Refuges Eve Brast - 7/15/08 (David's notes in red) ... It was dark outside and it seemed like we spent the night there. Suddenly, the next morning, late in the morning, a young man with short brown hair burst through the front glass door and braced it open with his foot and said very excitedly, "David said it's time to go to the wilderness!" We (our UBM study group) all hurried out into the parking lot with the kids and a supersonic noise got my attention. I thought it was a jet plane flying overhead. As I looked up into the sky there were no clouds and the sky was blue about 11:00 AM. I saw an arrow-shaped vapor trail just clearing the mall on my right, high up in the sky and flying overhead toward the left horizon. It went all the way around the world and then I watched it come up from the horizon ahead of me and I followed it overhead and turned around to watch it head down the horizon behind me, but it stopped 30 degrees up from the horizon and faced us. Then we realized it wasn't a jet but an angel. He had golden, curled hair and a simple white robe with a thin gold rope around his waist. He motioned with his right arm and forefinger to follow him in that direction. So, we all started to walk in that direction. Then I woke up.   (The arrow-shaped vapor trail cleared the roof of the mall from the east, heading west down past the horizon, around the world and came up the northern horizon and headed over our heads toward the southern horizon, then stopped 30 degrees from the southern horizon. Our UBM group then all began to walk toward the direction of the south, following the angel.) Our UBM group was located in the Dallas / Fort Worth area in Texas. (When the people of God left Egypt to go to the wilderness refuge from the beast they went south first and then went north to their Promised Land) I felt in the dream that this angel was showing multiple groups of people at the same time around the world where their refuges were.)   Note from David: It was an angel of God that guided Israel into the wilderness place of safety from the beast kingdom (Exo.12:37; 13:20; 14:19). I believe God's angels will do this for UBM and saints all over the world. This way only the right people will be there.  Also, there is another type of angel, or messenger, that will guide God's people to their wilderness refuge during the tribulation. Satellites are commonly called angels nowadays. Sky Angel is a satellite network. There is a road angel satellite navigation system. The military has had a program since 2004 called  Autonomous Nanosatellite Guardian Evaluating Local Space, or A.N.G.E.L.S., to watch over the U.S. There is also Digital Angel which has designed microchips readable from satellite for the beast system. Three angels in Rev.14:6-9 preach the Gospel, warn of judgment, the fall of Babylon, and the mark of the beast, from mid heaven... and all of this before the middle of the tribulation.   We believe the Lord would have us use satellite angels to reach the majority of the population of Earth with this same message and will guide some to the wilderness refuge. Satellites are also commonly called "birds". {Rev.12:13} And when the dragon saw that he was cast down to the earth, he persecuted the woman that brought forth the man [child]. {14} And there were given to the woman the two wings of the great eagle, that she might fly into the wilderness unto her place, where she is nourished for a time, and times, and half a time, from the face of the serpent. See also Davids Will Preach The Word From Heaven. Refuge Ministry to the World     America, a Nation of Refugees Vincent Xavier - 7/10/08 Americans will be roaming through the streets. The Lord has shown this writer that America will be known as a NATION OF REFUGEES. People will be roaming to and fro from one city to another, seeking shelter and rest. The Lord said what we saw in New Orleans after the hurricane called Katrina hit will become a national reality. Just as those people fled from their destroyed city to other cities, so shall it be in the days ahead. Because of the several nuclear detonations, natural disasters and other terrorist-related incidents in major cities across America on the same day, millions will be wandering from sea to shining sea looking for a place of safety and rest. During this time of wandering people will become infected as biological and chemical weapons are released upon the population. Great food shortages and water shortages are going to cause rioting and looting in an unprecedented way. Great violence will emerge and a strong spirit of brutality will manifest. KATRINA IS THE PICTURE multiplied a thousand times. Las Vegas, Nevada will be a GHOST TOWN. People will be wandering through the emptied and mostly destroyed casinos and city shopping malls. They will fondle gambling "chips" that possess no value. Las Vegas shall surely be a haunt of every unclean bird and jackals will reside in that place. Martial law will be imposed within the nation. A time of complete desperation will hit. Those who barked like dogs in so-called revivals will whimper at the devastation and all their foolery will amount to nothing. Those who refused to repent, but went after the GIFTS, will come away empty-handed and their short-lived healings will be met with eternal burnings because their hearts were led astray into great deception, as the Scriptures said they would. The burning heart of repentance can no longer be seen in America. The cry for repentance is falling upon deaf ears and the masses are being led into the slaughter. The day of slaughter began on 9/11; it has escalated into a worldwide epidemic as hundreds of thousands are being destroyed daily. The prophets are fools (those in the harlot church)! The people are mad upon their idols! A sword against the treasury of the United States has been unsheathed. I will strike their treasures and take them away to another land. I will transfer the wealth of the nation to another. It is over! The collapse is sure! The time of debate is ended! America will be a nation of refugees. Those who hate shall meet with hatred! Those who mocked shall be a derision! Those who refused to obey shall be punished! Terror shall take hold of a nation that has forsaken the LAW OF THE LORD! SAINTS, find your way to the cities of refuge now! Begin to build your lives in those places. Go to those places that uphold the Laws of the Lord. You will be protected. Build cities that will welcome and provide for survivors who are sent from the Lord. These will be seeking Christ Jesus from true hearts. Establish Godly leaders within the cities of refuge for the transfer will come to a nation within a nation! Fill up the storehouses! Many will be led by the Spirit to these safe places they never knew of. The coastlands will perish! Seek refuge now! It is late! Let us not linger anymore! David: The real good news is that revival will spring forth wherever the elect are and people will know the value of Psa 91. Psa 91:1-16 He that dwelleth in the secret place of the Most High Shall abide under the shadow of the Almighty. 2 I will say of Jehovah, He is my refuge and my fortress; My God, in whom I trust. 3 For he will deliver thee from the snare of the fowler, And from the deadly pestilence. 4 He will cover thee with his pinions, And under his wings shalt thou take refuge: His truth is a shield and a buckler. 5 Thou shalt not be afraid for the terror by night, Nor for the arrow that flieth by day; 6 For the pestilence that walketh in darkness, Nor for the destruction that wasteth at noonday.  7 A thousand shall fall at thy side, And ten thousand at thy right hand; But it shall not come nigh thee. 8 Only with thine eyes shalt thou behold, And see the reward of the wicked. 9 For thou, O Jehovah, art my refuge! Thou hast made the Most High thy habitation; 10 There shall no evil befall thee, Neither shall any plague come nigh thy tent. 11 For he will give his angels charge over thee, To keep thee in all thy ways. 12 They shall bear thee up in their hands, Lest thou dash thy foot against a stone.  13 Thou shalt tread upon the lion and adder: The young lion and the serpent shalt thou trample under foot. 14 Because he hath set his love upon me, therefore will I deliver him: I will set him on high, because he hath known my name. 15 He shall call upon me, and I will answer him; I will be with him in trouble: I will deliver him, and honor him. 16 With long life will I satisfy him, And show him my salvation.

In celebration of Earth Day, we invited Martin Szczepanik, NYC alumni chapter president, to talk about renewable energy and sustainability, topics that he is extremely passionate about. Martin currently works at PA Consulting as a Principal Consultant, where he supports their Clean & Smart Mobility offering, helping companies and cities transition to de-carbonized transportation. He also supports utilities and other entities with their purchase and acquisition of renewable energy. Martin is a first-generation American. His parents escaped communism in Poland in the 80s. He and his family faced adversity as they were assimilating in the United States. Martin faced some challenges that shaped where he is today. However, underneath all of it is his passion for clean energy. In this episode, Martin shares his early beginnings as a first-generation American, his career pivot and how his experience at Haas helped him with the transition, and what he does at PA Consulting as a Principal Consultant.Martin also talks about the future of clean and renewable energy and the new technologies people should be excited about.Episode Quotes:On choosing accounting and finance as his college degreeAt the time, it was essentially a safety decision because I knew no matter what was going on with the economy, no matter what happens, you're going get paid in a career in accounting. Accountants are always needed, whether the economy's doing well or not. And I also thought about it as understanding the language of business, and it opens potential new opportunities for me in the future. His passion for clean energyI don't really have one of those interesting origin stories, necessarily. I didn't see my house get swept away by a rainstorm. I didn't see, you know, anything crazy happen with being in a drought. But I do remember my junior year of high school, I was in an AP environmental science class, and at this point in time, it was pretty much peak emissions for the entire globe. And I think at the time, the United States was getting 70 to 80% of their power from coal, and the big Hummer came out. Everything was bragging about that, and I just had this feeling of desperation. What are we doing to our planet? Things are getting worse, and we were still burning so much coal and driving Hummers. There's not really a clear, viable path for us to get off of fossil fuels as a society.Show Links:Martin Szczepanik on LinkedInBHAN-NYC LinkedIn GroupBerkeley Haas Alumni Network NYCSupport this podcast at — https://redcircle.com/onehaas/donations

There are unexplained sounds in our third installment of global hums (Holly's Hummers) with special guest Holly Monks. We visit the Lansing Whistler; a strange figure that travels around on a boat at night whistling and the Legend of El Silbon; a cursed child whistling out while carrying around the bones of his father.

Spike and MotorTrend's Jonny Lieberman cover the automotive stories that almost matter. 6 Dodge Hellcats stolen in under 40 seconds from the same dealership; Is the new GT2 RS going hybrid?; Jonny's recap of the Amelia Concours; Spike's GT4 RS unproven break-in miles theory for new Porsches and the new GMC Hummer EV visits the SCR set.

“We'll have over 50% of our facilities producing EVs here in the U.S. by 2025. We've announced four battery plants here in the U.S., a number of supply chain agreements, again, to really get those critical minerals happening here. So, so really excited to see where this, this is going to take us.” Kristen Siemen on Electric Ladies Podcast General Motors announced it was going all-electric by around 2035, in some ways pushing the legacy automakers to accelerate their transitions too. They also committed to reducing their carbon footprint overall aggressively, from materials, to how they power their plants, to the supply chain. How are they doing it? Listen to Kristen Siemen, Chief Sustainability Officer at General Motors in this remarkable interview with host Joan Michelson on Electric Ladies Podcast about how General Motors is pivoting its entire manufacturing process to electric vehicles, and driving more innovation at the same time. You'll hear: How GM is bringing its 25 year history in electric vehicles to 21st century mobility needs. How GM is allocating the $35 billion they committed to this transformation to EVs – in all types of vehicles, from luxury cars to Hummers. What it's going to take for EVs to go mainstream. How the much-needed EV infrastructure gets built, including with the new federal legislation and GM's recent charging deal. Plus, insightful career advice …. “It's really about being transparent, you know, and being comfortable to give your opinion and, and ask for what you want to do and where you want to work or, or what type of assignment you'd like to have. And so, it all circles back to that passion. If you like what you're doing, you're going to work harder and you're going to be the person that they want on the team.” Kristen Siemen on Electric Ladies podcast You'll also want to listen to: Telva McGruder, Chief Diversity Officer of General Motors – on pivoting that 100+ year old company from gas-powered cars to electric cars Suzy Deering, Chief Marketing Officer at Ford Motor Company, on disrupting a 100+ automaker.
