What are the odds?
I woke up late after a fitful night, did my usual drawn-out groan, then wondered almost aloud, ‘What are the odds?’ Had no idea to what I referring, nor did I have a follow up, i.e., a reply to my own query. Made coffee, sipped it while scanning email, then took Gus for a walk down to Logan’s (he arrived yesterday) site, a few hundred yards to the east, on the edge of a wash with some nice shade trees.
See that wavy line over the rig? That’s as spooky as anything I’ve gotten over the years. WTF is that? (The exposure was about 2 seconds so whatever it was, was HAULING ASS: It’s almost to the horizon!)
Now I’m back and still don’t have a clue what I meant by ‘What are the odds?’ I’m writing this in a Word file I titled ‘Chance & Necessity’, two concepts you’ve heard about in this blog. It’s full of notes and scribbles and links and so forth, some having to do with ‘Chance & Necessity’, many not. But I figured that what I meant by ‘What are the odds?’ could very well be related to something I wrote in this file, which is a couple months old and full of blog post starts and stops. See, I don’t like wasting your time (and fear I’m on the verge of doing so right now).
Thing is – and come to think of it — What are the odds? is one of those concepts that could apply to… anything, be it trite or of great import. As a phrase, it’s… almost Vonnegutian. A more inquisitive ‘So it goes…’
Last week on the Colorado River.
If I’m going to ramble, here we go. I was thinking of Kurt Vonnegut last night while listening to a podcast from James Corbett. (Yes, I’m fascinated by Corbett, for reasons I’ll get into.) The ‘cast was about geo-engineering, the weather modification aspect of it, and Corbett’s guest was talking about Bernard Vonnegut, Kurt’s brother, and how he was involved in it pretty much from the get-go. I had to wonder if Bernard was aware of where the project was going, and what his brother would have thought of it…

It’s 4PM and I’ve been on a Corbett tear most of the day, and wondering why no one else has asked, ‘How does he do it?’ Meaning how a ‘one man show’ could possibly do all the research and film editing and essay writing that Corbett takes credit for, has been since 2007 (I’ve listened to his podcasts from the beginning). As with Miles Mathis, although there are red flags – like Corbett’s ‘Pentagon Speech’ at the Kuala Lumpur gathering back in 2012 (you’ve likely already seen it) – the real reveal is in his output: Up until 2015’s film on the Federal Reserve, Corbett credited no one as ‘video editor’ or anything of the sort. It was all him. As a filmmaker myself – I spent a year teaching myself Final Cut – I find Corbett’s output an insult to my intelligence.
Yes, I’ve brought this up before, but Corbett is worth a good look: His work is, after all, really good, insofar as it goes. Which is key.
Pictographs. Last week. Some are about 1,000 years old, others of unknown age but thought to be ancient, possibly antediluvian.
I’ve got a bunch of notes from a day of viewing Corbett’s work and will have to get back to you tomorrow on the details.

But what about ‘What are the odds?’ I’ll work it in tomorrow…
Remind me the Tassili n’Ajjer mushroom man, maybe a week a go i made a dream of a female E.T. looking like one of the Tassili n’Ajjer pictograph…a strong vivid dream…by the way counting card in a casino should not be illegal if you only use your brain…the house is a real bad looser..lol
You never waste our time! I’m definately not the sharpest knife in this drawer, & im not very well researched, but I love reading your stuff. Just sayin 🌝
Was interested to see if you would post this morning- glad you did. Hope you continue with the “first thing” notes.
I think it would be real interesting if you wrote more about what you see and the people you meet out on the road. Include some great photos.
Might make a book If you were inclined to work it over, “Travels with Gus” has a ring to it.
Best wishes.
I know. I have hours of good footage (I’d prefer to make a film)… just don’t have the energy right now…
The odds are the House will win. Always
Not if you count cards. I’ve done it and been ejected from casinos. Other times they’d bring in a mechanic. I caught one dealing ‘seconds’ in Vegas. Knew it was time to go.
I remember his hat tilted forward
His glasses are folded in his vest
And he seems like the kind of man who beats his horses
Or the dancers who work in a bar
We saw on the screen his face for a moment
No time to plead or even ask why
Jack Ruby appears from out of nowhere
Then disappears, in broad daylight
‘Cause he’s a friend of that cloven-hoofed gangster the devil
He’s been seen with the sheriff and the police
Drinking whiskey and water after hours
Saying, “Let’s do business, boys. The drinks are on me.”
So draw the box along quickly
Avert your eyes with shame
Let us stand and speak of the weather
And pretend nothing ever happened on that day
Grant us the luxury, ’cause all our heroes are bastards
Grant us the luxury, ’cause all our heroes are thieves —
Of the innocence, of the afternoons
That we think it’s a virtue to simply survive
But it feels like this calm it’s decaying
It’s collapsing under its own weight
And I think it’s your friend the hangman coming
Chokin’ back a laugh, drunk and swaggering to your door
Now do you feel that cold, icy presence
In the morning with coffee and with bread?
Do you feel, in the movement of traffic and days
A terrible significance?
More than anything I’m fascinated by the things you keep catching in the night sky. Non-natural arcs. Strange stuff. No explanation. The U-turn was especially unusual.
How do you explain the photo in this blog? That was 3 seconds. What was it and how did it go that fast?
The explanations I have are not great. All boil down to some kind of technology that we are not privy to. Whether it be man-made or not, I cannot say. I thought your video journal from a few days ago had equally interesting phenomena.
If you start thinking along the extraterrestrial route, I am bothered by the tremendous distances involved. Light-years to the nearest star. Then one asks oneself, could it just be human technology that we are unaware of? Hell, I don’t know. Could it be humans, but they’ve solved time travel? So the technology is from one of many distant human futures? Preposterous, right…?
I’ve got no good answers. Wish I did. I once had a UFO fly overhead at night at extremely low distance…but was completely silent. No blades, no propulsion, yet it moved and without making a sound. Was headed in the direction of a military base.
Your long exposures are really cool. And you have to wonder if YOU are catching these things, then isn’t EVERY observatory also catching them? So what about the people at the observatories? I think of that solar observatory in NM. The reason they gave for that shutdown reeks of a cover story.
The whole ET/UFO issue is potentially the most important of all the stuff we are not told about. I believe the stuff I’ve photographed are mostly secret US technology, but… this is too big a subject to go into right now!
Agreed. And any research into the area is so absolutely flooded with bullshit that it is quite literally impossible to see the forest for the trees. Tells you that SOMETHING must be there, however. As I have conjectured in the past, the real truth of HTWRW is probably far beyond our wildest imagination.
Have you ever been to http://vadeker.net? It is in French so requires Google translate. I came upon it the other day when researching Kubrick’s 2001, and it is just such a fascinating site. Pages upon pages. Looks like it has been around since early internet days. Some wild claims in there. They claim the comet SL-9 was actually shot from earth with the intention to impact Jupiter and the Galileo probe was actually launched for the purpose of observing the collision. And that’s not 1/100th of what’s on this site.
The so called international space station ( I don’t believe anyone is living on it), traveled overhead one night several months ago in Florida. I had never seen it before. It was a bright light and it was impressively speedy as it traveled in an arc from south to north.
I just happened to be outside sending a friend off to his home. Funny. This was the same friend that saw “ball lightning” come in the front door and go out the back door at my shop.
The ‘ISS’ is in an equatorial orbit, not polar. So it was something else. I agree no one is in there, if there is indeed something in orbit.
Interestingly the one in the top right hand corner looks, to these British eyes, very similar to a pre-1801 Union Jack.
I don’t understand the reference.
I believe he’s referring to the pictographs photo; so reference is to the pictograph in the upper right of that photo.
Ah yes. Right. Many of those images are of plasma instabilities seen in the sky back when the solar system had a shake up. IMO. See

Anyone who hasn’t given EU a look, should do so!
Allan, YOU cannot waste “my” time. You just can’t. If I don’t stop when I get bored, I’m the one wasting my time.
Moreover, the more active my own brain is, the more likely it is to find, at a minimum, some new connection, or the beginning of one, no matter what you write.
And just the other day I found this on another blog:
—
“In his essay “A Way of Writing,” the late poet William Stafford spoke of the “strange bonus” that sometimes happened to him when he pursued the act of writing in a deliberate attitude of ignorance. Instead of planning and thinking ahead of time, he said he made a discipline of setting aside time each morning for writing, and then he spent that time noting down whatever came to him. “At times,” he said, “without my insisting on it, my writings become coherent; the successive elements that occur to me are clearly related. They lead by themselves to new connections. Sometimes the language, even the syllables that happen along, may start a trend. Sometimes the materials alert me to something waiting in my mind, ready for sustained attention. At such times, I allow myself to be eloquent, or intentional, or for great swoops (Treacherous! Not to be trusted!) reasonable. But I do not insist on any of that; for I know that back of my activity there will be the coherence of my self, and that indulgence of my impulses will bring recurrent patterns and meanings again.”

So I’m *really* looking forward to your wake-up-and-write experiment!
I know nothing of Corbett, but “Q” is generally believed, by Q-observers, to be a group, not an individual. Might be one person who does the keyboarding part, but Q usually writes “we” this & that. And, whatever else Q may be, he/it/they are posing questions that have gotten a lot of people doing their own research and waking up to the reality of the deep state. fwiw
Interesting quote. I see what he means. Sort of like semi-automatic writing. My hesitation is only that I’m writing for a readership. He wasn’t talking about that. But still… I just need the boost in energy, to write, film edit, whatever. It’s easy to get lazy and take in info — the damn Net is hypnotic that way…
I am of the opinion many of the pictographs in the SW are indeed antediluvian, particularly those of horned men and wheel-like objects. There is what I presume to be a native account of creation by a guy named Robert Morning Sky (the Terra Papers) which contains illustrations that closely resemble many of the etchings.

Do you know anything about the red paint found at some site like the one you pictured?
Also, if you have not yet done so a day or 2 spent driving and hiking through 9-mile canyon south of Price, Utah is worth it. Gold mine of ancient art.
I’ll take a good look at that link later – for a moment I thought you meant Robert Morning Star, who is a govt shill, btw… I’ve made a point to visit the petroglyph and pictograph sites all over the west. It’s chilling to realize what the artists were likely looking at (the sky lit up with plasma instabilities, plus nearby planets) when they did their art. I assume you are an Electric Universe follower….
The link is a fairly long, scrambled read yet what I take from it are the consistencies it shares with other tales of ancient history such as the slavic, & hindu vedas, greek ‘myths’, and even the bible.
I feel good about a lot of EU stuff yet the images I find most interesting aren’t explained by plasma…

who the hell are these guys?
Wow, I have photos of those petros, exactly those. I’d have to check but I think it was Wyoming. Those are likely plasma instabilities anthropomorphized by the artists. Some of them probably died from radiation in doing that art. Gives me the chills thinking about it. I’ve seen those types of images all over the southwest….
Over the years I’ve spent hours and days and weeks trying to glean information on htwrw. Doesn’t take long to figure out that there are no quick and easy answers and it can become an all consuming practice. I still keep my eyes on a few different sites to kind of keep my toes in the water and attempt to gain some relevant insight.
Your comment regarding anthropomorphised ancient art is a first for me- I’ve never seen anyone bring this up in all that I have read. As a lover and maker of surreal art myself, I have often wondered how much of what we see in ancient art was the artist “pushing” what they may have seen. From an artistic standpoint, sometimes an image I create is intentionally crafted to not only catch an onlooker’s eye, but to get their minds thinking outside of the box. Other times a piece just seems to come through of it’s own volition and even I as the crafter am not sure what it may mean. And still other times a piece is simply my trying to work out a thought of a thing that I don’t understand on paper or canvas.
I would love to hear/read more on this train of thought as I have often been amused at the certainties that some will assign to the meanings of heiroglyphs, petroglyphs, etc. I know that this further complicates getting to the truths of things, but I do believe it is important to take into consideration when attempting to evaluate histories.
Thank you for being you and for what you do here.
Dream remnant…you bring a loose piece of that existence as the amnesiac veil of waking reality slips around you.
Tell me about it, yes.
