Prompt: "A wooden bench in a grassy field."   This month on Patreon: This month, for regular paid subscribers, the main article on Patreon will speculate on the mysteries of sapphire mines in Elahera, Sri Lanka.

I'll provide an overview soon on my literary blog, The Dragonfly. Join us! Become a Patron! In addition for paid subscribers, I cover the crypto bull run markets, with a comprehensive airdrop discu ..read more

Image Source: Waters End. I commend my fellow blogger Dia Sobin at Once Upon a Transdimensional Day (formerly Trans-D Digital Art) for her Phi in Aphrodite posts! I miss the days of the Creative Commons and the pre-Covid camaraderie of the blogosphere. Dia and I agree that blogging on this platform is not what it used to be! At the back end of this Website, Blogger used to offer a fantastically easy platform for writing. Since around 2019, it has changed a lot and has become counter-intuitive and difficult to use. I am still blogging at my Patreon page here. Posts are e-mailed di ..read more

Image Source: Homeland Preparedness News? In the shift to a digitized economy, stakeholder capitalism, and commodified humanity, this blog's Discord research asks: if the global vaccination drive is administered by an AI-driven blockchain, will a cryptocurrency be used to monetize that blockchain, and if so, which one? Discord #bookchats for Thursday and Friday September 3-4, 2020 will be canceled and replaced by chats on the forum, September 3-4, from 6 pm eastern. These are two catch-up sessions for Patreon supporters, who have access to the blog's forum. Go to: https://hottc.forumotion ..read more

Will blockchains enslave us or free us? Image Source: Harvard University. In June, I moved discussions on this blog to a Discord group, blog forum, and Patreon posts, to build a community and avoid censorship. After two months, Discord chats reveal that behind the pandemic lies the global implementation of blockchain technology, through the planned vaccination of every person on earth. Distributed ledgers can track and trace vaccines as well as the vaccinated. Critics claim that blockchains can also potentially establish a new kind of technocratic slavery. We stand at a crossroads, becaus ..read more

Image Source: Trade Finance Global. Very few sources tell you clearly what is happening now in the world. Blogger activists Alison McDowell at Wrench in the Gears and Robin Eubanks at Invisible Serfs Collar explain how a new technocratic system and a human capital economy are being built on the backs of an Internet of Humans. They reveal radical truths in a bankrupt world, based on lies. McDowell and Eubanks contend that today's technocrats and power-brokers are wolves in sheep's clothing, who conceal their real endgame behind benevolent rhetoric and philanthropic projects. The m ..read more
