All of a Sudden It Began to Make Sense

 

January 15, 2022

I do not necessarily proscribe to the theory below, however I do trust in the fact that science and spirituality are two peas in the same pod and that they must learn how to communicate. Plus, String Theory says anything is possible.

What Happens When We Die? Scientists Say the Soul Returns to the Universe.
The reason why so many of us are afraid of death is that we just don't understand it. We can't prepare for what we don't know, and the unknown is scary that way. So we keep asking ourselves: “What happens to us after we die?” While usually, we try to answer that question spiritually, it seems like science has now found the answer. UK scientist Dr. Sam Parnia believes human consciousness lives on even after we die. He shared his findings in Morgan Freeman’s Netflix show The Story of God. Here's what he, along with other leading scientists, have found.

What If We Actually Lived On Forever?

Dr. Parnia is not alone in his theories. After extensive research, the University of Arizona’s Stuart Hameroff and British physicist Sir Roger Penrose also believe that while our bodies physically die, our soul, or what they refer to as "consciousness," lives on forever. Scientists are starting to find that the soul is made of information that can be stored at a quantum level. It's those quantum mechanisms, or the behaviour of matter, that make the infinite process.

Consciousness Is Just Stored

Dr. Hameroff and Dr. Roger have concluded that the soul and its consciousness are simply made of stored information. Think of the conscious mind as a program on a computer. Even if the computer itself dies, the program itself can be transferred and continue to exist. This way of thinking is what has led them to say that even after human beings die, their soul comes back to the universe, and it does not die itself.

The Brain Is a Biological Computer

The idea of the brain as a biological computer that can store the information that makes us who we are is not a new idea. But it's the understanding that this means that the soul it holds doesn't die either that is groundbreaking. This knowledge has been in the making since 1996. Dr. Hameroff, the American physicist who works in the departments of Anesthesiology and Psychology, and Sir Penrose, the mathematical physicist at Oxford University, have been working hard to solve these theories for decades. Their work is based on the Quantum Theory of Consciousness. The theory believes that the soul is maintained in the brain.

The Soul Exits the Body Upon Death, But Doesn't Die

Dr. Parnia tells Morgan Freeman in his documentary that “The evidence we have is that when a person dies, that part that makes us who we are – the soul or mind, or whatever you call it – it does not become annihilated." But how this happens can be a bit complicated. It's all based on what they call "Orchestrated Objective Reduction," which is how the information is transferred over. Basically, right when the heart stops beating and the blood stops flowing, the information that makes a person can't be destroyed, so it just gets distributed into the universe at large.

The Beyond Is an Infinite Reality

Researchers are now claiming that there is an infinite universe beyond after death. This is where the soul continues to live forever when it is spread from the body. They also say that this world we're living in is just a perception or a reality that we've created for ourselves to give our lives a beginning and an end. The soul itself never ends. The documentary explains it like this: “What we consider the here and now, this world, it is actually just the material level... The beyond is an infinite reality that is much bigger.” Believing this is accepting that the soul runs on a deeper level that goes beyond this world.

Near Death Experiences Put It in Perspective
Dr. Sam Parnia has studied more than 100 cases of cardiac arrest survivors. These are people who have technically died and came back to life. What's really interesting about them is that a big number of them had really weird experiences when they died. They came back often feeling more at peace, comforted, and even happy after they went through death. It's like dying and coming back to life somehow gave them a profound and mystical experience. Some of them even felt like they met up with other loved ones who had previously died. The scientists think this means that death is a universal experience, so all the souls go to the same place after they leave their physical bodies. But in near-death experiences, if a person comes back, the information of their soul, or their consciousness, comes back with them.

So what does it mean to have a soul? From a scientific perspective, it's an interaction of neurons, but from a spiritual perspective, it's our whole being and the good and the bad that create our identity. But even now, science is also saying that the soul is something more than neurons, and it's actually a consciousness that has existed since the beginning of time and will continue to live on forever.

Is Your Soul Still Finding Its Purpose?

The Great Flood Again...

 

December 25, 2021

Nibiru is a pain in the ass. When the Annage arrived here between 450,000 and 432,000 years ago, Earth was in the midst of an ice age. They set up shop in ancient Shumer, on what is now the floor of the Persian Gulf. The end of the last ice age came rather abruptly, and it was catastrophic for the Annage.

I don’t put much stock into Noah's “40 days and nights”—it was more likely 40, or even 400 years in length. Whatever the true number, Noah’s story is likely the result of abrupt climate change that caused sea levels to rise by hundreds of feet. This makes sense when we consider that glaciers miles high at both poles were melting.

There is some geological evidence suggesting that as Nibiru nears Earth, we see an increase in volcanic and tectonic activity. It is thought that the end of the last ice age was triggered by Nibiru’s passage. The resultant volcanic and tectonic upheaval, caused by its gravitational pull, led to massive ice loss and rising sea levels.

When we look at our article “Where Are You?”—a scientific paper using statistics to search for Nibiru—we're given an approximate timeline for locating the “planet of millions of years.” It’s likely it will be discovered within the next ten years. As exciting as that is, I’m just as eager to determine where it is in its orbit: perihelion (closest point) or aphelion (farthest point). Regardless of its current position, we still feel its gravitational effects on Earth through geological changes.

As for the events surrounding Noah’s flood, it is believed the greatest water damage—tsunamis and the like—came from the south. Other accounts suggest the floods were caused by meltwater runoff from rivers. Remember, these events occurred at the end of an ice age. The mountains around the Horn of Africa would have been snowcapped, and yes, there would have been rivers running through the desert.

The only thing in the south big enough and icy enough to cause such chaos is the continent of Antarctica. The flood may have been caused by massive ice sheets sliding off the continent—an event not unlike what we’re witnessing today. Although we can’t be certain, I believe today’s scenario is a combination of both Nibiru’s approach and human-caused global warming.

Three and a half billion years later, there are still continent-sized chunks of solid rock floating around in Earth’s mantle. I believe these are undigested remnants of Nibiru’s moon, left over from the planetary collision. As the weight and pressure on Earth's crust ease due to melting glaciers, the planet will continue to "burp"—meaning volcanic activity is likely to increase.

This is particularly relevant in Antarctica. As of May 2020, we know of 138 dormant volcanoes there. Unfortunately, as with all volcanoes, there is no reliable way to forecast if or when they will erupt.

During the worst of Noah’s crisis, the Annage—under instruction from Enlil/El Shaddai—took refuge aboard their shuttles and orbiting satellites, crowding 600 or more aboard and leaving millions of us to drown. Millions died then. The numbers could be far worse now—perhaps not by drowning, but by the cumulative effects of global climate change, as described in the Old Testament.

Here is some data on what’s happening in Antarctica. As the Earth warms due to climate change, glaciers are beginning to shift. Researchers believe that landscapes sloping inland will increase the speed at which glaciers move. Because a canyon has been found beneath the Denman Glacier, scientists can better anticipate how nearby ice will move in the future.

However, other powerful forces of nature are also at play. While the canyon may accelerate glacier movement, other geographical features can counteract this. This, in turn, may reduce the impact on sea levels. One example is the Transantarctic Mountains, which separate eastern and western Antarctica and span more than 2,000 miles.

Multiple glaciers have formed near these mountains and flow into the Ross Sea. Their movement is hindered by a large sheet of floating ice. While there's concern that this sheet may melt, it currently remains intact. By doing so, it prevents the glaciers from advancing, helping keep sea levels steady.

The BedMachine project recently revealed new findings that ease previous concerns. Earlier models suggested that if the ice sheet melted, glacier flow into the Ross Sea would increase. Fortunately, data from the project suggests otherwise. By studying the terrain beneath the ice, researchers discovered a high ridge running below. This ridge could slow or even halt glacier movement into the sea—even if the ice melts.

This could significantly impact the Ross Sea ice shelf. By slowing glacier drainage, the movement of the ice shelf—and thus water levels in the Ross Sea—would also be affected. Researcher Mathieu Morlighem has expressed optimism. He believes that even if the shelf were to melt or collapse, it likely wouldn’t seriously affect East Antarctica.

If something serious does ever happen in this region, it won’t be because of the Ross Sea ice shelf. That’s certainly good news, especially given how long it's been a concern.

Unfortunately, there’s also bad news. Across the icy continent lies the Amundsen Sea—part of the vast Southern Ocean surrounding Antarctica. Discovered in 1920 by Captain Nils Larsen, the sea itself isn’t the problem—it’s what’s flowing into it.

A massive glacier is continually flowing into the Amundsen Sea.We don’t know how long this has been happening, but the glacier is estimated to be the size of the United Kingdom. It has become one of the fastest-moving ice shelves in the region, shifting more than a mile each year. And it shows no signs of slowing down. In fact, it may be accelerating.

If this trend continues, no one knows how fast it could move before it finally collapses. This glacier is known as the Thwaites Glacier, named after Fredrik T. Thwaites, a geomorphologist and glacial geologist from the University of Wisconsin. His father, Reuben Gold Thwaites, was a prominent historian.

In the 1970s, Terry Hughes—professor emeritus at the University of Maine—was one of the first to predict the glacier’s collapse. His prediction was validated by a 2001 study using satellite radar data, which showed the glacier was out of balance and steadily moving. Thwaites has also earned the nickname “Doomsday Glacier” due to the potential impact it could have on global sea levels.

Unlike the Ross Sea, the land beneath Thwaites lacks any supportive ridges. Only two ridges are nearby, both miles away. Once the glacier passes them, there may be no way to stop it.

As the University of Washington study predicted, the question is no longer if Thwaites collapses—but when.

It’s Not What You Think

 December 31, 2021


Scientists Have Found an Incredible Secret Below the Ice of Antarctica

The southernmost continent in the world, Antarctica, continues to be a source of fascination and mystery for people around the globe. Our knowledge of this frozen continent began on January 17, 1773, when famed explorer James Cook became the first to cross the Antarctic Circle, which surrounds it. Cook is pictured in the painting below.

On January 27, 1820, a group of Russian explorers became the first to lay eyes on Antarctica. They sighted an ice shelf that bordered what is now known as Queen Maud Land. While our understanding of the last discovered continent has progressed considerably since then, what do we really know about Antarctica?

Due to its harsh climate and remote location, Antarctica is the loneliest and least visited of the seven major continents. Spanning 5.5 million square miles, it is home to many penguins, seals, and whales, but has no permanent human residents. Nevertheless, Antarctica has remained a constant source of fascination ever since it was first discovered. Each year, small groups of researchers and tourists continue to visit the frozen landmass.

A Startling Discovery

Thousands of miles away in the Golden State of California, scientists have made a shocking discovery about Antarctica. This discovery is not about the surface of the continent but about what lies many miles below the ice.

Given that Antarctica is nearly twice the size of Australia, it is no surprise that this has only now been found. When one takes into account the increasing dangers of climate change, the discovery becomes even more unsettling.

This scientific breakthrough came as a result of a collaborative effort between several institutions. In 2014, these collaborators used advanced technology and physics to map out the entire continent.

Five years after the creation of the map, these scientists made their findings public for the first time. While the data was highly informative, it also revealed chilling implications about the effects of climate change on Antarctica.

For years, scientists have been able to peer below the surface of Antarctica using radar technology. By sending out pulses of microwave radiation, they have systematically mapped the terrain beneath the dense sheets of ice.

Unfortunately, this technology has its limitations. The depth of certain regions in Antarctica makes it impossible for the microwaves to accurately determine what lies beneath. Instead of reaching the bottom, the signals are deflected by trenches, valleys, and other geological formations.

In December 2019, the moment of truth finally arrived for Antarctica and its mysterious underworld. A team of international researchers—hailing from the United States, Europe, Australia, and Asia—revealed the findings from their extensive project.

Known as BedMachine Antarctica, its objective was to map the area beneath the surface as accurately as possible. In preparation, researchers reviewed records dating back almost 50 years. The radar data compiled from these records covered nearly a million miles.

Although this legacy data was insufficient to complete the project, it provided a crucial starting point. With this foundation, the scientists began assembling their comprehensive map of Antarctica. To fill in the gaps, they turned to the principle of mass conservation.

This scientific law, discovered by Mikhail Lomonosov (pictured above), states that if any closed system is never exposed to external forces, then it remains constant. In essence, since matter cannot be created or destroyed, it stays unchanged in a closed system—such as the terrain beneath Antarctic ice.

With mass conservation in mind, the scientists estimated how much ice lies beneath Antarctica by tracking how it flows across the continent. By knowing the volume and speed of ice entering valleys, they could fill in the gaps where radar data was limited.

Not only did the team determine the amount of ice in these valleys, but they also discovered how deep they extend underground. By "pulling back the curtain," they revealed the structure and contours of the valley floor. Through their tireless efforts, the most expansive and accurate map of Antarctica ever created came to be.

The results of their study appeared in Nature Geoscience, a journal published by Nature Research. On December 13, 2019, a day after the article’s publication, the findings were presented at a meeting of the American Geophysical Union.

The study’s conclusions are directly tied to Queen Mary Land, part of the Australian Antarctic Territory located in East Antarctica near the Southern Ocean.

Also known as the Queen Mary Coast, this area was discovered in 1912 by the Australian Antarctic Expedition and named after Mary of Teck, Queen of the United Kingdom and wife of King George V. She was the grandmother of Queen Elizabeth II, and is shown in the painting above.

One of the most important landmarks in Queen Mary Land is the Denman Glacier. This enormous glacier spans roughly 12 miles and dominates the remote landscape.

As shown in the map above, several other glaciers occupy the area—such as Reid Glacier, Scott Glacier, Northcliffe Glacier, and Apple Glacier. However, none of these rivals Denman Glacier’s hidden secret.

A Record-Breaking Canyon

Beneath the Denman Glacier, the researchers discovered a massive canyon extending 11,500 feet below sea level. While its very existence is impressive, its depth is the most significant feature—it is currently the lowest natural point ever discovered on land.

By comparison, the Byrd Glacier, located nearly 1,400 miles away in the Ross Dependency, reaches a depth of 9,121 feet below sea level. The Ross Dependency is named after Sir James Clark Ross and is administered by New Zealand.

Previously, the lowest known land point was in Asia, at the southern end of the Jordan Valley in Israel, where it meets the Dead Sea. This region lies 1,411 feet below sea level. The canyon beneath Denman Glacier surpasses it by almost eight times.

Interestingly, the lowest point on Earth overall is much deeper than even the Denman Glacier. In the depths of the Pacific Ocean, just east of the Mariana Islands, lies the Mariana Trench, believed to reach 36,037 feet at its deepest point.

While the depth of the Mariana Trench is undeniably awe-inspiring, the Antarctic canyon is equally remarkable, considering it lies beneath a glacier on land. Though it was long suspected that something lay beneath Denman Canyon, no one had managed to map it—until now.

The researchers’ ingenuity and technical skill proved vital to achieving this groundbreaking feat. By overcoming the limits of conventional radar technology, they unlocked a major geographic discovery.

Challenges and Comparisons

Although the depth was a major revelation, it was not the only one. Surprisingly, there are valleys around the world that are similarly deep yet remain above sea level.

For example, the Yarlung Tsangpo Grand Canyon, which runs along the Yarlung Tsangpo River in the Xizang Autonomous Region of southwestern China, reaches nearly 20,000 feet at its deepest point.

What made mapping the Antarctic canyon so challenging? Multiple trenches cut through the valley floor, causing radar microwaves to bounce off irregular surfaces. This made it almost impossible to determine where the actual bed of the glacier was.

But this diverse and skilled team of researchers succeeded in overcoming what had once seemed insurmountable.

Religions Can't Be Tamed

 

December 30, 2021

What if we understood more about spiritual practices that exist outside the boundaries of organized religions? What if important and intuitive spiritual needs aren’t being satisfied within mainstream world religions? What if we could gain valuable insights from these “wild religions”? What if the ways in which religions address misfortune are actually key to their success?

Wild Religions Are Persistent

In Morocco, if a family member falls ill, a devout Muslim may bypass the confines of orthodox Islam and instead visit a marabou—a mystic healer who operates more or less underground. The marabou might write a verse from the Quran on a piece of paper, dip it into a glass of water, and then offer the water to the visitor to sip as a form of spiritual healing. This ritual is not found in the canon of Islam, yet it persists and is still practiced today.

Mystic healing, shamanism, ancestor worship, voodoo, spirit-warding rituals, tarot cards, and other forms of divination—these are the practices that characterize many of the world’s “wild religions.” And these are the practices that fascinate Professor Pascal Boyer, an evolutionary anthropologist and psychologist at Washington University in St. Louis, Missouri. Boyer is widely considered one of the most influential founders of the cognitive science of religion.

“Wild religions existed before the emergence of organized religions in most prehistoric societies. They’re also found today in small-scale, so-called ‘tribal’ or ‘traditional’ societies. And they still persist alongside organized religions in most large-scale societies,” Boyer explains.

With support from the Templeton Religion Fund, Boyer has established a cohort of a dozen scholars from the fields of history, anthropology, psychology, and religious studies. Together, they plan to combine their expertise in a detailed, collaborative research project aimed at examining wild religions.

Looking Beyond Doctrines, Leaders, and Rituals

Despite their historical and contemporary prevalence, wild religions have been largely ignored or treated superficially by researchers, Boyer says. As a result, prevailing attitudes about religion are skewed toward those with well-established doctrines—Christianity, Islam, Buddhism, Judaism, Hinduism, and so on. According to Boyer, “We’ve forgotten that a great deal of religious activity was happening before those doctrines—and is still being practiced at their margins.”

That oversight, he argues, is a serious one. Existing both outside and within organized, “tamed” religions, the practices of wild religion are authentic expressions of spontaneous spirituality. As such, Boyer believes they may hold important clues for understanding the psychology of religion—why people believe, what they believe, and how those beliefs function.

Harvey Whitehouse, Director of the Centre for the Study of Social Cohesion at the University of Oxford and one of Boyer’s collaborators, agrees. “Different scholars have different ways of trying to boil religion down to a single thing,” he says. “But I think one of the hallmarks of this project is that it doesn’t look for that kind of magic bullet. Instead, it fractionates religion into its myriad component features and tries to explain how they are grounded in different aspects of our cognitive apparatus.”

The Persistence of “Why Me?”

Initially, the project is focused on building a database to map the beliefs and practices of wild religions—both past and present. It will look for recurring patterns and analyze why these similarities exist. In particular, the research will focus on how wild religions address misfortune.

According to Boyer, unlike doctrinal religions, wild religions rarely deal with abstract questions such as the origin of the universe, the root of evil, or the salvation of the soul. Instead, they are focused on immediate, pragmatic concerns—curing illness, ensuring a good harvest, or understanding why misfortune strikes one person but not another. These traditions offer ways to deal with witches, ancestors, ghosts, and spirits.

Boyer sees this difference as critical. “Wild religions activate universal cognitive systems concerned with threat detection and precaution,” he explains. His research will investigate how this deep-seated cognitive response to risk—essentially, proactively “fighting” for safety and solutions rather than “freezing” or “fleeing”—helps explain the resilience of wild religions across cultures. “When misfortune happens, a very common human question is, ‘Why me?’ So maybe,” he speculates, “the way religious traditions address misfortune is crucial to their success.”

Later stages of the research will examine how religious traditions evolve, testing the hypothesis that wild religions enjoy a “sticky” cultural advantage, while doctrinal religions tend to hold greater institutional and political power in the present.

To truly understand human religious capacity, Boyer insists, we must look beyond “tame” religious traditions and expand our view to include the older, more widespread, and spontaneous forms of religious thought and practice. The research he now leads is a significant step in that direction.

Emma Watson Part 3

 

October 6, 2025

I'm a bit tired of talking about this now. This is then hopefully the 3rd, and final instalment of this what turned into series on, WOULD THE REAL EMMA WATSON PLEASE STAND UP? In our two previous essays on this subject, we established that there are a lot of imposters out there posing as Emma Watson. I suppose its an almost inevitable part of wealth and fame. People sucking off you. Up until recently I really hadn't thought much about the issue, mostly because my head is usually in the clouds trying to figure out the Mysteries of the Universe. Which has absolutely nothing to do with pop culture.

Late last month - September, I was scrolling through FB, and I chanced across my 3 Hollywood crushes, Sandra Bullock, Cote De Pablo, and Emma Watson. Disturbingly my feed was almost immediately flooded with stuff about them after hitting the like button. Oddly too, friend requests among it. Because I'm curious by nature, and admittedly was a bit bored at that moment, I accepted a friend request from each of the three. What was odd was when I went and looked at their profiles, the numbers. Simple common sense suggests that a celebrity with a Fb account is going to have tens of thousands of followers/friends. These had single digits, or 10-20 friends. Very low numbers which were explained as, "This is a new private account, my management doesn't know I have it, and my fans haven't found it yet". "My management is so controlling, and I wanted to control my publicity". This from the Sandra Bullock camp. Then came the hook, the story of her recent tragic loss of her husband, She is now apparently past his death, and is actively looking for a new husband, and father to her adopted children. If you want that esteemed position, you're going to pay for it, for a VIP card, which you'll need, will run you about $2,000.


As we've mentioned previously, the numbers are similar for everyone else, so those who are falling victim to these scammers are losing fair chunks of money. The Cote de Pablo camp has so far, asked for a step father for Tali, an invented T.V character introduced to us in the original series NCIS. Fees for her textbooks, which in California are free, and are covered in the enrolment fees for private schools. Too, in a near perfect AI generated video, young Tali tells you she's sad, and needs a prepaid card to activate her video game while calling you Daddy.. Also, whoever is claiming to be Cote, is playing the emotional looking for a husband romance game, just like with Emma's shower picture, I was sent this:

This photo while not revealing, shows her to be an attractive woman. That shade of green suits her. The only reason I'm showing this picture and not Emma's, is because this one is all over the place out there, and Emma's shower shot I haven't found a comparable image yet. That will likely be a lengthy process because I'm not going to sift through millions of photos to find it. She's a nice looking girl, but somehow that just seems creepy.

So here I guess is my bottom line. Imposters are losers. The celebrities of whom they imitate are, whoever they are. Some I think are likely decent people. Others are so full of themselves that its incredible that they don't shit their own heads out of their asses. I've been lucky enough to have enjoyed a unique relationship with a noted author, an artist, and the heir to Richard Wagner. That dude had issues. So why is there now an Emma essay 3? As previously stated, I spent a weekend trimming my social media presence to almost nothing. While doing so I took an Emma Watson imposter with me, and I put them on WhatsApp, there they were safely isolated from my FB friends list. And shouldn't be bothering anyone.

As previously related, over the course of a weekend, I willingly engaged with this series of individuals claiming to be Emma, and discovered she's got multiple personality disorder. The one in charge all the time is not the smart, sexy, quick witted Emma. Instead, there's not much to these individuals. Throughout much of the weekend the conversation was stilted, and was almost entirely focused on, prying dollars out of my pocket. First in the form of emotional blackmail, she's hurt herself and needed a visit to the emergency room at her local hospital. Proof of said injury being a picture that she had the foresight to take of a gnarly looking burn. I was also given a close up of what was clearly a cropped image of her tear streaked face.



These visuals were clearly designed to elicit a strong sympathetic response. So whoever is/was behind these images had strikes against them. I'm a trained observer, with over 4 million accident free miles. Obviously thinking about every little thing that I look at. The real problem of course started with asking a fan, for a hundred bucks for a Steam Card, so that she could pay the pharmacy for her meds, gauze, and tape. The far more realistic thing would have been to hand the phone over to the pharmacist, and the two of us working out what payment method would have worked.


I, of course, refused to be part of that, but I too had a morbid fascination to carry this on, this fucker was almost smart. I was having fun. So later, I checked on "Her".

There was then a lot of back and forth, I was a selfish ass, I didn't care about her. And to top it off, I owed her a thousand dollars for her stay in a private wing of her hospital. Needless to say there was more backing and forthing, and name calling, and the eventual dissolution of the "relationship". I was done with it at that point. Whoever the real Emma Watson is, there was no hint of a decent person in what had transpired to then. So this morning, I awaken to a simple "How Are you?" From that WhatsApp number (14029172578). Not really wanting to engage with whoever it is, I replied please leave me alone thingy thingy Watson. Your new nickname, because our every interaction has been about you obtaining a thing.

I didn't bother with the fools any further after that. I blocked the number and then was sad for a minute. I felt sorry for the real Emma Watson, knowing that nonsense like this is taking place in her name hourly, by the thousands of instances.

The Key Warning Signs of Celebrity Imposter Scams

While celebrities are on social media and do sometimes interact with fans online, it is best to approach any supposed celebrity interaction with caution. Listen to your gut, and be wary of sharing personal information or money. Do not be afraid to abandon any conversations that reveal red flags like:

  • Profiles with unusual punctuation or that spell the celebrity’s name wrong.

  • Accounts with low activity and/or a low follower count.

  • Soliciting money (even if it is for a charitable donation or other seemingly legitimate reason).

  • Asking for payment via wire transfer, bitcoin, gift card, or prepaid debit card.

  • Fake ‘verified’ check marks.

  • Their inability to meet you in person or communicate with you in real-time like a video call. Constant excuses as to why they can never meet.

  • Requests to perform intimate acts on camera or video webcam.

  • Asking for your personal information such as your full name, address, and phone number in order to send you ‘gifts’ or free merchandise.

  • The scammer tells the victim things that are at odds with publicly available information.

  • Love bombing with nonstop messages of adoration and affection – usually without having first taken any steps to get to know the victim on any level.

Emma Watson Part 2

 

October 4, 2025


This of course is Emma Watson of celebrity fame. I claim no personal connection to her, and images here are used without permission.

 With her picture here front and centre, you might think I'm going to talk about her. I'm not. The only reason I'm thinking about her at all is because, last week she appeared randomly in my Fb feed, and I liked one of her pictures. Subsequently I was flooded with stuff about her. During the next few days I was disturbed to find dozens, perhaps many more imposter accounts for her. Deciding to have a bit of fun, I then decided to engage with one account in particular. This I talked about in my previous essay in this what turned into series. As I mentioned there, it proved quite impossible to ascertain any type of numbers, as to how many imposter accounts there are for her, so I asked my AI, can you give me an estimate of how many imposter accounts there are of Emma Watson? This is what it said: "There’s no publicly available number that precisely counts how many imposter or fake accounts exist for Emma Watson — or for any celebrity, for that matter — because these accounts constantly appear and get removed across multiple platforms".

That said, here’s a reasonable estimate and breakdown based on patterns observed in social media fraud and celebrity impersonation:

  • Instagram: Major celebrities often have hundreds to thousands of fake or fan-posing accounts. For someone like Emma Watson, estimates from social media analysts and past clean-up sweeps suggest 1,000–5,000 impersonation accounts at any given time (ranging from obvious fan pages to deceptive scams).

  • Facebook: Often even higher, because of looser identity verification — possibly several thousand pages and profiles using her name or images.

  • X/Twitter: Historically fewer because of verification systems, but before X’s policy changes, there were hundreds of impersonator accounts. Since paid verification began, fake verified accounts have increased again — likely hundreds active now.

  • TikTok and Telegram: Emerging hot-spots for scams — hundreds to a few thousand “Emma Watson” accounts exist, most AI-assisted or bot-managed.

So conservatively, across all major networks combined, there are likely between 5,000 and 15,000 active or semi-active Emma Watson impersonator accounts at any given time.

Undeniably she's an attractive young woman. Whoever she's spending her time with, its almost guaranteed that its not with you or I, playing games with us asking personally for whatever form of currency. Prepaid shopping cards seem to be the thing that most scammers are asking for. Unless you're the series of idiots I dealt with. Again I chose to engage with this idiot, who tried through a combination of emotion, playing hard to get, and a bath room shower picture to entice me into giving this entertainment goddess,£1000 to pay for for her hospital bills.

I don't know about you, but considering the possibility of scammers on Fb and every other social media platform, I wasn't about to hand over $1000 dollars to anyone. This was simply smart, I was never asked, there was never a legitimate banking platform offered, though there was the catch. Doing a perfunctory bit of research on the British NHS (National Health Service) which gave several reasons why an individual might walk out of a British hospital owing a $1000. The most pertinent of these was, voluntary admission of over 24 hours in the private wings. This of course would apply to someone like Emma Watson. She of course would not be in a public wing, not because she's a snob, but because she'd not want to be mobbed by well wishers.

That had me questioning it for all of about 3 seconds. One thousand dollars is a lot of money for the average person. For some of us, that's hopefully the first number we see on our pay cheques. For the wealthy though, dropping a few thousand dollars isn't a big deal. For Miss Watson, when she was the face of LancĂ´me, she was pulling in £2-3 million for it. A thousand dollar thing for her, not a big deal. I have no idea of her spending habits, and I'd expect that she's reasonably respectful of that type of number. Whatever else this essay is, its not a criticism of her. She's not responsible for the nuts who want to be her. She's not sat in her mother's basement in her underwear trying to swindle decent people out of their hard earned money. From what I can see of her is, she's a beautiful young woman who's spent most of her last 20 years in the spot light. She may now be a little quiet, and may be looking for, comfort. If there is in fact any truth to that, she deserves it. It must be exhausting to be in the spotlight, to have men, and women drooling over you in images like this,

I'm probably the last person who should be saying anything about pop culture. When I was a child, Donnie & Marie were huge, I had no idea of who they were. I had to be read into Freddie Kruger and Micheal Myers. Harry Potter and the gang? Well it was an interesting thing, because for years, I'd been researching the Holy Grail, and had been immersed in Grail Romance. King Arthur, Lord of the Rings. Then enter Harry Potter, and the other part of the Grail. Ring lore. This is where we find the Fey. Scotland's national symbol the Unicorn, magic. This of course is where we met the very young, Emma Watson, who as you watched her grow up, turned into, someone incredibly easy on the eyes.

So who wouldn't want to wake to her? For us poor chumps on Fb looking for her, it ain't going to happen. Of simple necessity they must ignore it, you've seen celebrity go off on paparazzi, how do you think they'd react to us being in their homes, judging the sandwich, the wealth, food, sex, drugs, music.
