Robert grew up in Minnesota and then came to college in Wisconsin. He worked as a weather researcher at UW-Madison for eight years before starting his business.

Did New Who start in 2005 … or 1973?

An A to Z of UK Television Drama

Andy and Martin travel back in time to the summer of 1965 and the adventures of HR consultant Drew Heriot and his sister-in-law Anne as they face up to the machinations of 'Undermind': aliens who have brainwashed British citizens in order to cause national unrest ahead of their imminent invasion. Their various schemes include: spreading pirate radio misinformation; inciting youth violence in a seaside resort; influencing the works of a popular children's author; the distribution of suicide-inducing birthday records; interference with the printing of exam papers, and most abominably of all, the assassination of Eamonn Andrews! Yes, really. Starring Jeremy Wilkin (best known as Kellman in Revenge of the Cybermen) and Rosemary Nichols (Annabelle in ITC's Department S) Undermind is an, often overlooked, sci-fi oddity created and ‘evolved by' Robert Banks Stewart and written by many familiar Doctor Who writers including Bill Strutton, David Whitaker and Robert Holmes. Other regular cast members were John Barron and Denis Quilley, while big name guest stars included Michael Gough, Peter Barkworth, Barrie Ingham, Judy Parfitt, Derek Francis and Philip Latham. Although there is much to enjoy here, the series' convoluted and sometimes incoherent plots tend to undermine (geddit?) its overall feel. Join Andy and Martin as they attempt to review all 11 episodes in 2 hours! And find out which of them was brainwashed into drawing Mulligatawny (a one-eyed turd with claws) while making their notes.

Tread Perilously's celebration of Tom Baker's 90th year continues with the Doctor Who story called "Pyramids of Mars." A quirk in time and space forces the TARDIS to land at UNIT HQ some 60 years before it is built. Instead, they find a priory owned by archeologist Marcus Scarman. For his part, the explorer has been possessed by Sutek, an alien imprisoned under a Saqaara pyramid for millennia. Will The Doctor and Sarah Jane figure out the Osirian's plan before he launches a rocket at Mars or will the bodies of hapless Edwardians keep piling up? Erik points out the Robert Holmes hidden in the proceedings. Justin enjoys the silliness of it all. Elisabeth Sladen proves to be the MVP as Sarah Jane snarks her way through the adventure. The Scarman brothers prove to be compelling guest characters even as Justin and Erik can't help but riff on Sutek's genocidal tendencies. Ancient Aliens comes up every so often. The presence of a poacher leads to a lot of discussion. The many highs of the story are tempered by an unusually soggy middle and an obscure plot. Erik figures out where Sutek was the whole time and Ramses II starts selling discount pyramids.

Time for the yarn on Karn that unravels the Doctor's entire history — while cramming in more cranial puns than you can shake an oversized amygdala at. The Brain of Morbius is like a New Who embryo in a jar: a self-aware homage (to Frankenstein), a feminist fable (sort of) with a serious theme (immortality) that's laced with laugh-out-loud lines, and bold changes that go beyond even the Timeless Child.

As the fog closes in on a remote Scottish island Andy and Martin are huddled by the fire remembering the time when there were many gruesome and mysterious murrrrrders and the local policemen endlessly downed whisky while on duty! Starring James Warwick and Celia Imrie, and adapted by Robert Holmes and directed by Douglas Camfield - two legendary Doctor Who luminaries - The Nightmare Man should be a wonderful slice of drama but neither is entirely convinced by the end result, a 4-part drama that lurches uncomfortably between thriller, horror and science fiction.

Tread Perilously celebrates the 60th Anniversary of Doctor Who with two straight months of that very special programme. First up: "The Deadly Assassin." When The Doctor is summoned back to Gallifrey, he has a vision of the Lord President being assassinated. His attempts to foil the plot are ignored and he soon becomes the prime suspect in the murder. But to save his life, he nominates himself to replace the slain head of state. Will The Doctor end up leading his own people? Will he discover the true assassin and the real shape of the conspiracy? And will an old foe appear from the shadows for one more tussle with the Time Lord? Justin has complicated feelings toward this story. Erik revels in the Robert Holmes script, although even he admits there are problems with Episode 3. He also attempts a Tom Baker impression. The lack of a companion is quite noticeable. Justin admits he's just not that into The Master. A Bane discussion, naturally, occurs. Justin attempts to understand key points of Doctor Who continuity. The Hi-Hats' place in The Warriors gets examined. A curious idea about Gallifrey itself comes into play and an attempt is made to grasp Time Lord politics.

You've got to hand it to the Doctor — he's single-handedly saved Gallifrey almost as many times as the Earth, and The Invasion of Time even lets him double dip! Rescuing the Time Lords from the Vardans was just a warm-up, with the Sontarans laying in wait to have their crack at the planet once the production runs out of tinfoil. The story is a bizarro Russian doll of invasions, seemingly orchestrated by a borderline-megalomaniacal Doctor, set against the backdrop of Robert Holmes' delightfully dysfunctional Gallifrey.

Tread Perilously's annual Doctor Who months returns with the 20th Anniversary special, "The Five Doctors." When the Doctor discovers his previous selves are being plucked from time, he sets the TARDIS for Gallifrey. Meanwhile, on the Time Lord homeworld, The First, Second, and Third Doctors are reunited with friends and companions to brave the Death Zone -- a region of the planet host to deadly games and the Tomb of Rassilon, the greatest figure in Time Lord history. Will they discover he was a mad tyrant or will his wisdom aid the Doctors in defeating their true adversary?  Episode writer Terrance Dicks gets compared to Robert Holmes. His references to Doctor Who history throughout the story also get examined. Justin disagrees with pairing the Second Doctor and the Brigadier. He also doubts the show was a phenomenon in 1983. The pair discuss the unending 80s revival and Tegan Jovanka's new look for the special. The unfortunate role for Sarah Jane Smith in the episode, Susan's almost-unacknowledged place in Doctor Who history, and the Welsh countryside also earn some chatter. Erik plants the idea of Tom Hiddleston as a younger First Doctor in Justin's mind. Actor Richard Hurndall, who plays the First Doctor in the special, gets a review all his own. Justin evaluates Turlough and a proposed new "Five Doctors" quickly becomes "The Six-and-a-Half Doctors."

Beasts to Bring in the Harvest (Audio) David Eells - 3/1/23  "REVIVAL List” Date: Fri, 21 Nov 2008  https://issuesoftheendtime.blogspot.com/ Subject: [revival] THE END of EMPIRE AMERICA - Robert Holmes NOTE from Mario Liu: On 16 October 2008 I was in a prayer meeting with Robert Holmes, and Kurt Pfanstiel, who was visiting us from the USA. Robert shared with us a vision he had recently received. Robert had a vision of Alexander the Great standing victorious in the middle of USA. We discussed about Robert's vision in some details. Alexander the Great in the vision was a foreign looking man. He was surrounded by many US citizens, who seemed to welcome Alexander as their leader. I asked Robert whether there were any signs of violence and Robert said no. I remembered God has given similar visions before about Alexander the Great conquering USA and we did not understand God's meaning then. Now that God repeated this vision, I felt that there is significance in this and asked God for more revelations, such as which country is conquering USA, who is Alexander etc. But God did not give us any clear revelations apart from saying that "Alexander took Babylon without bloodshed." After the US election, Robert recognized that the Alexander he saw was Obama. Then God revealed more information. These revelations are enclosed below... We need to pray.   THE END of EMPIRE AMERICA by: Robert I Holmes This article will cover a range of issues which have been brewing for six to twelve months in my heart. History will judge America as an empire. That empire is coming to an end. The election of Barak Obama is a significant prophetic event, marking the sunset of that empire, and the rising of other powers in the earth who represent ancient powers and civilizations. These ideas have consequences for believers living both in the US and the countries who rely on her (like Australia). … (David's notes in red: Barak Obama became President of DS ruled Babylonian America. Although he severely weakened America, he did not conquer her during his presidency. Hillary was to be Obama II and would have finished the job … but God used a modern day Cyrus of the Media-Persian Empire to conquer Babylon America. Clearly this is President Trump who as a Cyrus also discovered the "hidden treasures of Darkness” (in underground tunnels of darkness), spoken of in Isaiah 45. Using this and other reforms as a lure President Trump has come to lead a mighty Alliance of Nations. Where he also set the people of God free from Babylon to rebuild the Kingdom of God and also bankrolled it with Babylon's stolen loot. No one else has followed in the steps of Cyrus but President Donald Trump. Keep in mind there are not two kingdoms involved here but three. Original Babylon ruled by the DS Obama, then Babylon under Cyrus/Trump, and then comes this Babylon conquered by Alexander the Great, whom Robert saw as Obama in his vision. It was reported by the military that Barak Obama was arrested for his crimes and taken to Gitmo. There he was given a monitoring boot and told to play his part under their direction, but he rebelled and they took him back to Gitmo and shot him. However it was after this that the military began to discover clone growing labs that were manufacturing copies of the important DS criminals like Obama.  LATER they learned how to tell the difference between a clone and the original. I believe it is likely that the DS had their clone of Obama available when they took clone Obama back in and shot him. Obama may still be out there and calling the shots for the DS. Remember Alexander did not come until AFTER the Media-Persians under Cyrus/Trump conquered Babylon. It was DS Obama Babylon, then Trump Media-Persia, then Alexander of the Grecian Empire.  Obama may be back in the third Empire as an Alexander to conquer Trump. Remember history must repeat. Ecc 1:9 That which hath been is that which shall be; and that which hath been done is that which shall be done: and there is no new thing under the sun. 10 Is there a thing whereof it may be said, See, this is new? it hath been long ago, in the ages which were before us. We know the prophecies were manifest through history naturally as these three Kingdoms but somehow these beast kingdoms must be repeated and we are watching it. Another thing that should not be forgotten, Obama was a figurehead for the DS and their 4th generation AI computer. Trump's steps came from a 5th generation AI computer that was programed by the people pushing him. I take nothing from him; he is a genius. Alexander had political power back home holding down the fort. Revelation's seven year Tribulation beasts, both the Dragon and then the Beast, had seven heads, not one. Nowhere in the bible does it describe one "antichrist beast". See absolute Biblical proof in our book, Hidden Manna for the End Times. Jesus said there would be many antichrists. Only in parables of dreams, visions or types there is described a man and sometimes a very big man, which identifies a corporate body head. Also if Obama does not end up being Alexander, Alexander is still coming. Back to Robert I Holmes: -   Alexander Cometh! In 1999, as I prepared to travel to the US on ministry, the Lord gave me a very unusual prophetic word. He said that, "In the days of Babylon, when her walls stood wide and her leaders stood tall, her defenses were strong and her campaigns victorious, (Babylon under the Trump Alliance of nations)  Alexander the Great (Obama?) came and defeated her. In the same way, my Alexander will stand in the very midst of the United States of America". The phrase "in the same way" indicates that America's walls are wide, her leaders stand tall, her defenses are strong, her campaigns until now have been victorious. (This best describes Cyrus/Trumps Alliance campaigns) But a man like Alexander - someone God refers to as "my Alexander" will stand in her midst, victorious and defeat her. Alexander the Great, a Mediterranean Greek, defeated Darius the Mede in 331BC at the Battle of Gaugamela (Darius ruled Babylon due to Cyrus' victory.), and the gates of Babylon swung open to him (Alexander/Obama?) (when he was just 25 years old). He stood in the midst of the courtyard declaring himself king. He then spent considerable time and effort trying to restore Babylon to its former glory. (Which neither Alexander nor Obama are capable of for God decreed its fall.) As I prayed in preparation for going to the US two weeks ago on ministry again, I had a vision of a map of America from high above. There, almost in the centre of it was a marketplace. I zoomed down toward the marketplace, and saw a man standing there. I recognized by the Spirit that it was Alexander the Great, standing in a dusty, sandstone area, sword lifted high, victorious. I believe that God's "Alexander" is Barak Obama. (If so, and I don't doubt it, he would come after the Trump Alliance to conquer it. Trump has prepared everything for the beast. The one world order, the world economic system, complete control and knowledge of everyones business through satellite and Artificial Intelligence. Cyrus/Trump will be good to give time for the reformers to mature the saints for when the beast makes war on them in the second half of the tribulation.)  He has now stood in the middle of America, and declared his victory speech in Grant Park in Chicago. There, he prophetically declared, “Change has come to America," (6). Yes indeed, it has. Barak, apart from having the appearance of a Middle Eastern or African man, is also very young and inexperienced. Barak Obama has not even had a full year in his senate position. I do not question the right of a 47 year old to rule a nation, but his inexperience is not reduced by his amazing oratory skill. "Your sons will take the place of your fathers; you will make them princes throughout [in all] the earth," (Psalm 45:16 NIV). He represents the end of empire America as we know it, and the opening of a new regime, one which, like Alexander, represents a conflagration of old powers (But Alexander/Obama? conquers Cyrus/Trump's America. The Alexander Grecian Empire came after the Cyrus/Trump Media-Persian Empire.).: European, Middle Eastern and Asian. He will try to restore America's glory, but in doing so relegate her to second position on the global scene. (Obama's job was to conquer America but failed to finish the job. He may be back as Alexander to conquer Trump's America.) The prophet Daniel, who wrote his book from 605 to 530 B.C., predicted Alexander would head a world power around 200 years before it happened (see Daniel 2, 7, 8 and 11). In Daniel 2 his empire is described as a belly and thighs of bronze (brass) in King Nebuchadnezzar's dream (Daniel 2:31 - 32, 39). In Daniel 7, it is described as looking like …The leopard with wings.   How Long Will the Trump Political Revival Last? David Eells - 3/1/23 First remember that we saw in Ecc 1:9-10 above that history must repeat. Dan 2:32 As for this image, its head was of fine gold (Babylon), its breast and its arms of silver (Media-Persia), its belly and its thighs of brass (Greece), 33 its legs of iron, its feet part of iron, and part of clay (Rome). 34 Thou sawest till that a stone was cut out without hands (God's Kingdom), which smote the image upon its feet that were of iron and clay, and brake them in pieces.  35 Then was the iron, the clay, the brass, the silver, and the gold, broken in pieces together (Obviously this didn't happen in the historic view of these consecutive Empires because this comes in our time. We are clearly seeing an end time fulfillment beyond the natural fulfillment of this prophecy.), and became like the chaff of the summer threshing-floors; and the wind carried them away, so that no place was found for them: and the stone that smote the image became a great mountain, and filled the whole earth. (Obviously this has never happened before our day. This is the end of all these beast empires at the hands of the Kingdom of God which takes over the entire earth.) (There is two views we can see here; the historic chain of beast kingdoms and an end time fulfillment of all of them together one after the other. Daniel said of the historic kingdoms in Dan 7:12  And as for the rest of the beasts, their dominion was taken away: yet their lives were prolonged for a season and a time. (This was true because their leadership died but their seed continued and multiplied down to our “season and time" in which they are given similar leadership so as to repeat history. The book of revelation depicts the end time beasts as having 7 heads which are the same ones Daniel identified in his day as the progressing kingdoms. So the seed of all these empires is with us today except far larger and they are joined in one corporate beast that covers the earth. The nations are jointing together like they never really did in the UN.)   (The end time interpretation is here:)… 44 And in the days of those kings (Notice that these kingdoms were broken together at the end but it was still “in the days of those Kings”. This seems to say that another quick fulfillment of this prophecy is now at the end.) shall the God of heaven set up a kingdom which shall never be destroyed, nor shall the sovereignty thereof be left to another people; but it shall break in pieces and consume all these kingdoms, and it shall stand for ever. (Clearly the world wide kingdom of God will conquer the world wide beast.) 45 Forasmuch as thou sawest that a stone was cut out of the mountain without hands, and that it brake in pieces the iron, the brass, the clay, the silver, and the gold; the great God hath made known to the king what shall come to pass hereafter: and the dream is certain, and the interpretation thereof sure. (And here it is again.) Dan 7:3 And four great beasts came up from the sea, diverse one from another. 4 The first was like a lion (Babylon in Britains dominion), and had eagle's wings (Babylon in the U.S. dominion): I beheld till the wings thereof were plucked, and it was lifted up from the earth, and made to stand upon two feet as a man; and a man's heart was given to it. 5 And, behold, another beast, a second, like to a bear (Cyrus/Trumps Medo-Persian Empire); and it was raised up on one side, and three ribs were in its mouth between its teeth: and they said thus unto it, Arise, devour much flesh. 6 After this I beheld, and, lo, another, like a leopard (Alexander/Obama? who inherits the one world economic and technological empire of Cyrus/Trump.), which had upon its back four wings of a bird; the beast had also four heads (Alexanders 4 generals who ruled after Alexanders death); and dominion was given to it.  7 After this I saw in the night-visions, and, behold, a fourth beast, terrible and powerful, and strong exceedingly; and it had great iron teeth; it devoured and brake in pieces, and stamped the residue with its feet: and it was diverse from all the beasts that were before it; and it had ten horns. (The mighty Roman Empire which will rule all ten horns, i.e. all ten continental divisions of the earth as Daniel's ten toes of the seed of all the beasts and the clay.) We just received this text by faith at random yesterday 2-18-23. (Dan.8:5) And as I was considering, behold, a he-goat (Who was Alexander the Great/Obama?) came from the west over the face of the whole earth, and touched not the ground: and the goat had a notable horn between his eyes.  (6) And he came to the ram that had the two horns (The Media-Persian Empire of Cyrus/Trump), which I saw standing before the river, and ran upon him in the fury of his power. (7) And I saw him come close unto the ram, and he was moved with anger against him (Notice they are close together but there is faction, as we see already. While Trump is finishing off Babylon, Alexander is wanting his job.), and smote the ram, and brake his two horns; and there was no power in the ram to stand before him; but he cast him down to the ground, and trampled upon him; and there was none that could deliver the ram out of his hand. (I know this will sadden many but, as we will see, the Kingdom of President Trump will not last long. The Church must take advantage of his benefits while we can. He delivered God's people from Babylon's bondage and furnished the rebuilding of God's Kingdom. He has given us a brief respite for the Church to stand up before a worse kingdom comes and more antichrist.) (8) And the he-goat (Alexander) magnified himself exceedingly (Sounds like someone we know): and when he was strong, the great horn was broken; and instead of it there came up four notable horns toward the four winds of heaven. (These are Alexanders four generals who divided up the empire on his death.) (9) And out of one of them came forth a little horn, which waxed exceeding great, toward the south, and toward the east, and toward the glorious land. (10) And it waxed great, even to the host of heaven; and some of the host and of the stars it cast down to the ground (A great falling away because they took the Mark of the Beast), and trampled upon them. (11) Yea, it magnified itself, even to the prince of the host; and it took away from him the continual burnt-offering, and the place of his sanctuary was cast down. (This is the Mid Tribulation mark of the beast, which changes the mind and the DNA.  It appears the FunVax, which vaccinates against Christian Fundamentalism. Here is proof:) Dan 9:27 And he shall make a firm covenant with many for one week (7 years): and in the midst of the week (3 1/2 years) he shall cause the sacrifice and the oblation to cease ("Burnt offering taken away"); and upon the wing of abominations shall come one that maketh desolate (The Mark causes to cease the crucified life of those who take it.); and even unto the full end, and that determined, shall wrath be poured out upon the desolate. So the third beast brings us to the Mid Tribulation so now I will repeat the fourth beast. Dan 7:7 After this I saw in the night-visions, and, behold, a fourth beast, terrible and powerful, and strong exceedingly; and it had great iron teeth; it devoured and brake in pieces, and stamped the residue with its feet: and it was diverse from all the beasts that were before it; and it had ten horns. (The mighty Roman Empire which will rule all ten horns, I.e. all ten continental divisions of the earth as Daniels ten toes of the seed of all the beasts and the clay. This happens when the Dragon who has crowns upon his heads changes at the Mid Trib to crowns upon the 10 horns of the Beast. The Dragon lasts for 3 1/2 years and then the beast comes for the last 3 1/2 years to harvest the Saints except for those who "are alive and remain unto the coming of the Lord" for they are dead already to self.) So the New Age and their alien demons don't believe the Book of Revelation because it doesn't agree with their 1000 years of peace. Now we see that they dont agree with the Old Testament prophets either and their prophecies are being proven too. Rom 3:4 God forbid: yea, let God be found true, but every man a liar; as it is written, That thou mightest be justified in thy words, And mightest prevail when thou comest into judgment. Saints, It will take everything God has stated about these beasts to bring in the harvest you have prayed for. Also strive for the Bride who will escape the Beast.   The Four Generals Will Conquer Alexander/Obama  Eve Brast - 1/29/10 (David's notes in red) (I asked God to confirm my role in this dream as a watchman on the tower. Twice, I opened my Bible and put my finger down. The first was Eze. 3:21 Nevertheless if thou warn the righteous man, that the righteous sin not, and he doth not sin, he shall surely live, because he took warning; and thou hast delivered thy soul. And Isa 21:6 For thus hath the Lord said unto me, Go, set a watchman: let him declare what he seeth.) (Eve represents those watchmen who are watching for the enemy attacks on the tower of Zion.) I dreamed I was a watchman standing on the roof of a tower made of logs crossed at the corners like a log cabin. The tower was coming up out of the Gulf waters off the northwest coast of Florida (where UBM began). (When I had this dream, I didn't connect it with UBM but when I was told to send it to David, I realized that he had a dream or vision from the Lord that UBM was represented by a log tower like this [in the same area but on land].) (The tower is Zion or Jerusalem, "the tower of the flock”. Micah 4:8 And thou, O tower of the flock, the hill of the daughter of Zion, unto thee shall it come, yea, the former dominion shall come, the kingdom of the daughter of Jerusalem.  Micah 4 is indicative of how God will use the Bride/tower in the "latter days”. Also typed as the Bride in Rev. 21:9 -10  And there came one of the seven angels who had the seven bowls, who were laden with the seven last plagues; and he spake with me, saying, Come hither, I will show thee the bride, the wife of the Lamb. 10 And he carried me away in the Spirit to a mountain great and high, and showed me the holy city Jerusalem, coming down out of heaven from God.) This tower also simultaneously existed in the Mediterranean waters farther east off the shores of Israel. (An elect Bride will also be taken out of natural Israel.)  I was dressed in an Old Testament Israeli soldier's outfit and standing at the northeast corner of the tower. (The Israeli soldiers outfit represents the true New Testament church, circumcised in heart, in its Eph. 6 armor.) It was dark and the wind was gusting. I could feel rain or sea spray on my face, forearms and lower legs. I was keeping the night watch facing northeast. Suddenly, out of the darkness, Alexander the Great came down and stood to my left. (Obama rules from the northeast of the tower and has been likened to Alexander the Great in other dreams and revelations, indicating his ambition and ability to conquer and take what God is giving into his hands for chastening.)  He said, "I want to show you something". He then swung over the north side of the tower and went feet first inside of it through a 24x24 inch window that a golden light shone out of. I followed him in the same way. (The golden light in the heart of the Bride/tower is Christ and the Word. Alexander/Obama on the left will conquer Christianity in America. However, as the Assyrian Beast leader, Sennacherib, conquered all of Israel but lost 185,000 men and was assassinated when he tried and failed to conquer Jerusalem, the Bride/tower, so it will be in some form in these coming days [2 Kings 19:30-37].  I saw a vision of America as Nineveh, the head of the Assyrian world Beast. As Assyria was conquering other parts of Israel, some of these fled to the safety of the tower. As this happens, the people will seek God and their capital city, the Bride/tower.) Inside there was a very bright, white light. When my eyes adjusted, I saw it was a laboratory of some sort with countertops and lab equipment all around. In front of the north window that we had entered there was a double stainless steel sink with a high faucet. Next to it on the counter top was a black microscope. Alexander pointed to the microscope and exclaimed, "Look! " I looked into it and was sucked through it into a spiritual realm that was dark with black, choppy water everywhere. I was aware in my spirit that it wasn't black just because it was dark.  When I got my bearings, I looked around and realized I was on one of four Greek vessels sailing east at a quick and steady pace. (Could these represent the four generals that divided up Alexander's kingdom after they poisoned him?) The white sails were missing (not powered by the Spirit; i.e., wind) and the masts were bare and there were no oars. (not powered by man). (These vessels of judgment have no power against the Bride, who is guiltless by God's grace.) I was standing on the deck of the third vessel to the right. (Pestilence and blood? Corexit brought blood disorders and destroys the immune system like the vax does now.)  There was one more vessel to my right, making it the fourth. Alexander was standing next to me on the deck. (I asked the Lord what the four vessels represented and he gave me Ezekiel 5:16-17: four judgments of famine, evil beasts, pestilence and blood (third vessel), and the sword.) (Today these have all been judgments through the DS. i.e the Ohio, East Palestine Chemical Dioxin fiasco, and other environmental disasters and blood contamination through mRNA vaccines. Microscopes are used many times to look at harmful microorganisms, representing unseen biohazards in food, water and air that can not be detected.) I looked ahead to the east and saw a large, bright star bigger and brighter than any I've ever seen. I knew instantly that it was Christ. Suddenly, two giant branches of lightning struck out sideways to the north and south of the star through dark gray clouds and a voice came out of the star that resonated through my whole being on a cellular level. It said, "Proceed no further, for truly these are the very end of days! " Only the vessel we were on then began to break apart into many broken pieces of splintered wood planks. Immediately, I was caught up away from Alexander, who was still on the deck of the vessel, back through the microscope and into the tower. (In his war against the Church at that time of the Tribulation, he will "proceed no further" than the Bride in these "end of days" by the edict of the King. This was just as it was when Ahasuerus stopped Haman, who, like Sennacherib of Assyria, died for his attempt on Esther, the Bride. Alexander the Great is said by some historians to have been assassinated by poison as he drank a bowl of unmixed wine to Hercules in the palace of Babylon, the great eagle.  There seems to be a common thread of death or assassination to those rulers who attack the Bride/tower. I would like to remind any who read this that a Christian could never do this, for the Word says, "If any man shall kill with the sword, with the sword must he be killed"; and "love your enemies"; and "Avenge not yourselves, beloved, but give place unto the wrath [of God]: for it is written, Vengeance belongeth unto me; I will recompense, saith the Lord". ; etc.) I looked to my left where the sink was and noticed a reddish dyed tablet to the right of the drain in the right side of the sink and there was a small stream of water running down onto the tablet, causing a red swirl that ran around the bottom of the sink clockwise before going down the drain. Then I woke up. (Because Jesus, the Word [water] poured out His blood [reddish tablet] unto death, the Bride will have life. Jesus also represents the body of Jesus, both sacrifice their flesh.  If we take the tablet, or cure, we will have life. He said unless we ate His body, the bread and Word, and drank His blood we would not have life.)   Two Sides of the Same Dragon Marie Kelton - 2/24/23 (David's notes in red) During the meeting, I had an open vision. My spirit man was standing next to the Lord in a wooded area. It was day light and really foggy. (A combination of light and dark, representing the opposites Yin and Yang, which we will see below.) We were standing in front of a black dragon (representing the DS bad dragon) that was sleeping. Then it woke up and I saw a white dragon come from the left (representing new age, the white hats, semi-good dragon). The two dragons merged together, and when they roared, fire came out of their mouth. (We definitely don't want Babylon DS joining the Alliance.) They then flew off above me and the Lord. After that had a vision of the Yin and Yang symbol.  I Looked up the Yin and Yang (or Yin-Yang) is a complex relational concept in Chinese culture that has developed over thousands of years. Briefly put, the meaning of Yin and Yang is that the universe is governed by a cosmic duality, sets of two opposing and complementing principles or cosmic energies that can be observed in nature.   https://www.thoughtco.com/yin-and-yang-629214 There's light and dark, day and night, good and evil, Yin and Yang. Yin and Yang or Yin-Yang refers to a concept originating in ancient Chinese philosophy where opposite forces are seen as interconnected and counterbalancing. It is commonly represented by the Yin-Yang symbol, a circle made up of black and white swirls, each containing a spot of the other.  https://www.dictionary.com/browse/yin-and-yang    (This looks like the DS is going to try to force Trump into making a deal to join together as it was with Operation Paperclip. That resulted in the formation of our current DS. A little leaven leavens the whole lump. The DS is putting pressure on Trump and the Alliance by all of their murders and acts of domestic terrorism. I think that Trump and the military leaders may be tempted to be discouraged because of the seeming impossibility of taking down the deeply imbedded DS. I don't think Trump knows that the Lord is going to do as He promised and put an end to DS Babylon as we saw that He will bring an end to Alexander/Obama. These beasts will put the pressure on the people of this world and the Church to fear the Lord and seek His shelter.) I asked the Lord if He wanted us to pray against this merger and got 2H yes. So, cast it down saints.

Insurance. It's something you may not think about until you have to use it. Insurance for county fairs is a bit different than the insurance you have for your home or life. Robert Holmes of Spectrum Weather Insurance and Andrew Vandepopulier of Haas & Wilkerson Insurance specialize in helping people understand just what their insurance policy really means. Since the pandemic there have been many changes to these policies that fair personnel need to be aware of. Many insurance carriers have added exclusions that fair boards need to be aware of when purchasing a policy so that they understand as a whole, if they have coverage for the events they are putting on. Some key exclusion areas have been added for rodeos, motorsports, and fireworks - all of which affect the fair industry. “When it comes to events, the inclusion of communicable disease has now been eliminated,” explains Vandepopulier. “You're not going to be able to find cancellation insurance that will provide coverage in the event of another pandemic or even influenza or bird flu and things like that.”See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

In Episode 74 of the [i3] Podcast, we speak with David Elms, Head of Diversified Alternatives and Portfolio Manager, Janus Henderson Investors. David, an Australian based in London, discusses the changing nature of bonds and their correlation to equities, trend-following versus option strategies and he tackles the idea that illiquidity stabilises portfolios. “You can paint illiquidity as a feature instead of a bug, but I don't believe in that,” he says. Enjoy the show!. 2:50 I got into investing by trying to fend off Robert Holmes à Court's attempt to take over BHP in the 1980s 5:00 Helping establish Portfolio Partners. “If you are thinking about starting your own firm, then do it.” 5:30 It is good to experience the energy and common purpose of a start-up, because it is great if you can bring some of that to the teams you are leading later in your career. 7:30 In the current environment of high inflation and changing monetary policy you have to be careful with backtests. 8:00 You have to be careful saying ‘this time is different', but what has changed is the role of bonds in a portfolio 9:45 You can look back in history, but you need to be aware that the 1970s was a different place. The market participants was different, the role of retail was different and the scale of hedge funds was very much smaller 12:30 Trend-following strategies have paid off this year. Is this a vindication of Crisis Risk Offset strategies? Trend-following has a place in a crisis alpha portfolio, but there is no one silver bullet. 14:30 In the event of something like 9/11 or the Fukushima nuclear disaster, where markets react instantly, trend-following doesn't work. There you need to rely on options for protection. 16:00 Two per cent inflation seems to be the point where the bond/equity correlation flips from negative to positive and becomes amplifying. 20:00 The way the pandemic played out is not the only way it could have played out. 21:00 During the pandemic, private market investors could pretty much close their eyes and stick their fingers in their ears and ride out the volatility. But I think that will be harder in the years to come. 21:30 You can paint illiquidity as a feature instead of a bug, but I don't quite believe in that. I don't think you stabilise a portfolio just by not marking to market. 26:00 The reason why correlations go to one in crises is often behavioural. 28:00 Protection strategies can be expensive at times and cause drag on the portfolio. How do you think about the implementation of such strategies? 33:00 CPI plus investment targets, where they stand today with high inflation, are heroic. 36:00 I think investing will get harder, not easier. 37:50 SPACs will go back to being one of those weird things that happened in the post-COVID era.
