Note from the Editor:
Gabriel to the rescue; my new life-long friend was going by that name. Like I realizing it was time for me to adopt the name Auz, he had taken on ‘Gabriel’. It is no coincidence that this person, transforming while using the sound of one of the greatest arch-angels of legend, was right there for me, right when I needed, in all the right ways.
This guy not only answered my call for help, while poor, he did so without ever seeking or asking for anything in return. He devoted himself like a soldier or family member to me, using all his time to not only ensure I got into a good apartment, but that I got to hang out with him, make new friends, and get laid on the reg’. I’d never seen anything like it, and I’m still amazed it happened –even at this time before The Shift, when Phase 1 beasts were still the dominating force upon the world.
I was homeless and depressed before his intervention. I was exiting a messy relationship via a messy divorce. Corrupt authorities were again being abusive to me, threatening me and demanding illegal things. Gabriel showing up in my life swept all that away, making it possible for me to calm down and go on.
I’ll never pray or trust religious nonsense again, after it failing 100% of the time for decades, but I do thank whoever this guy really is. I’ll always be grateful about the way he conducted himself and kept me ‘in the game/fight’. Maybe it is a sign that the arch-angels now work for me…

Face App:
I just want you to take a minute to think about this: If the public is given access to a technology, 1) it is extremely old (usually at least by 75 years), 2) the ways to determine when it is being used have long-since been made flawless, and 3) it is completely obsolete, having been replaced in secret by something even more advanced. When it comes to face-changing, Photoshopping, and video editing/altering technologies, this couldn’t be truer; not only has it become possible –decades ago– to alter and fake photographic, audio, and video ‘evidence’, life-like holograms can be used in-person, as well. Maybe everything is fake at this point, not just what we hear and see on the news…

Poking Fun at Fake News:
Notice how many “news” stories here are about humans fighting, imprisoning, fining, and killing each other. Notice how many are accusatory and full of doubts, even in their titles and summaries. If even the news agencies themselves doubt these stories, and are allowing their writers and editors to let pass all these hints that the stories are, at least in some way, fake, what’s the point? Why bother repeating and sharing them at all?
The one about the woman being detained in Iran on espionage charges? That is undoubtedly an attempt to make another competitor of the U.S.A. look bad, heavy-handed, and sexist. How much do you wanna bet that woman was actually spying, and Iran was being very gracious in letting her go for such a low sum of money from the richest and most thieving superpower in history?
