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.

Emma Watson Part 1

 

October 1, 2025


I woke to this lovely picture this morning. Couldn't help that, look at her, she's gorgeous. I don't normally talk about celebrities, the only other one to date was Adrian Wagner and his connection to the Holy Grail. I'll be the first to admit I live under a rock, I'm not much into pop culture. That said I do however have a few Hollywood crushes, Sandra Bullock, those deep dark eyes. Cote De Pablo, incredible intelligence behind those eyes, I think. Then there's Miss Watson, a child star of whom I watched grow up. She was a cute 11 year old, who turned into an incredibly attractive young woman while keeping herself together, and being worth in the neighbourhood of $80 million of whom I came to admire. This then is the point of the following.

On or about September 25, 2025 I was minding my own business and was scrolling Fb. There while not thinking much about it, I came across images of the above 3 women, and clicked on the like button. Knowing that my feed would temporarily flood with information about the three of them for a bit, I was prepared for that much. What I wasn't prepared for was what actually happened. The following morning my feed was overwhelmed with stuff from the 3 of them, friend, follow requests, by the tens, there must have been 30-40 in all. Included in all that nonsense were 3 marriage proposals, one from each of them. In the case of Miss Bullock, she needs $2,500 to get anywhere near her. Miss De Pablo's people were in chaos and it was impossible to determine an amount. Miss Watson, on the other hand, was what you might expect from an actual meeting with her.

"She" was kind, polite, interested, and an absolute darling, full of little comments where you say damn, and you begin to form a serious emotional bond. Anyway I spent most of Saturday and Sunday trimming my social media presence down to almost nothing. I had 3 Fb accounts, 2 Instagram


accounts, plus FB pages that are just for this Blog. So yesterday a much calmer day, I continued to weed out the imposter bullshit out of my feed, until I was left with Miss Emma Watson, and is it really her? So yesterday, we spent quite a bit of time chatting, and I found out stuff about her, which as she said, is all available on Google.

These talks were full of I want to be near you, I'd like to kiss you, and, I even got a picture of her in a shower. She was in a bath robe and dry, but still. And no you can't see it. Anyway we left it there, and I went to bed, fairly convinced that whoever this person was, it wasn't Emma Watson. I'm a firm believer that when you're meeting someone, they'll use your name often in conversation, simply because it shows interest in you. In the case here, no, not once, it was all dear, sweetheart, a few darlings. Endearing? Absolutely. There too were a few instances where the response was...inappropriate. Watson is English, and their syntax is a bit different, I should know, the leprechaun was English,and I spent 20 years listening to how they speak.

 So I went and got my coffee this morning, and while I did that, this surprising image arrived. It was quickly followed by a series of images, a serious burn with a note she was going to the hospital. Then a short while later a picture of her bandaged hand. Then further an image of her pharmacist, a bag of medical supplies, then finally, an image of some pain killers and a glass of water. And no you can't see those pictures, they were sent in trust, or so I hope.

This then is the reason for this essay. This beautiful young woman is worth a lot of money. And I tend to think that if she'd had this awful supposed accident, she'd have called a someone from her management team to assist. Now I can understand when a celebrity says that they just want some privacy, the ability to make independent decisions. That too would extend to their everyday money. So while I'm busy getting my head around the idea that Miss Watson may have received a permanent injury, I start getting the texts that were disheartening. This can happen to anyone under almost any circumstances, you run short of cash. In this case that was a strong possibility, she's supposedly hurt herself, so in the scramble to get help, you forget your phone, and your wallet. Or one or the other. In this case it seems it was her wallet. Because rather unexpectedly, she's asking me to pay for her meds, a cost of a $100.00

Now the UK doesn't use the dollar, instead its the pound sterling. So still giving her the benefit of the doubt, if her costs were around £50-£60

£50 × 1.75 = 87.50 CAD

  • £50 × 1.80 = 90.00 CAD

  • £60 × 1.75 = 105.00 CAD

  • £60 × 1.80 = 108.00 CAD Result:

£50–£60 in the UK = about $88–$108 CAD.

Still this thing isn't unreasonable. Its almost impressive that she estimated my costs so accurately,but she didn't say that, there was no Chris, I'm so sorry and, this is nuts, and I know a bit unconventional so early, but can you loan me... No it was a direct demand for the money, with attached sense of urgency. Then the request for the Steam Card. What the fuck is a steam card? I had to look it up too. A steam card is a prepaid card that you load with money to buy computer games, hardware, software. It has nothing whatever to do with purchasing pharmaceutical supplies. So I was ready to leave it there, she wasn't who I had hoped she was. Surprise! She Was!

So through the night I received a couple of sweet messages. One strangely about me having eaten, the other wishing me sweet dreams. Throughout this thing I was very much on the fence, mostly because, I'm not special enough to assume that out of the millions of people clamouring for her attention, she'd hear my voice. So I awaken the morning of Oct 2, no sweet good mornings, can I sit with you while we have coffee. Something you'd expect from somebody who through the night had said, "I know you love me, and I love you more than words can say". "You're the best thing that ever happened to me". That made me giggle, mostly because she had yet to be in my home, in my arms, with the appropriate copious exchanges of bodily fluids, after love, and, immersed as new lovers in each other.

 So I said to her her "Good morning" at 9:06 AM. I asked her if she'd talked to her family, after learning that she had readmitted herself to hospital because of the discomfort she was in. That seemed semi- plausible considering the size of the wound she'd suffered. She said no, that she was having difficulty getting a hold of anyone. It then wasn't long after this when she started making noises about getting out of hospital. This again came down to cost. It then wasn't long before I'm being bugged for a £1000.00 overnight stay. In the UK, under the NHS system, a patient who is ordinarily resident (i.e., a UK citizen or someone legally living there) does not get billed for overnight hospital stays. Care is generally free at the point of use.

However, there are circumstances where someone could end up with a large bill, even close to £1000 USD (about £800):

  1. Private Care

    • If the patient chooses to be treated privately (e.g., private hospital or private wing within an NHS hospital), they or their insurance would pay. An overnight stay in a private UK hospital can easily exceed £800–£1,000.

  2. Not Ordinarily Resident (Overseas Visitors)

    • People not entitled to free NHS care (such as some overseas visitors, migrants without legal residency, or tourists) may be charged.

    • The NHS has set tariffs: overnight admissions are typically charged at full cost, which can be hundreds to thousands of pounds depending on treatment.

  3. Elective Cosmetic or Non-Covered Treatments

    • If the patient is admitted for something not covered by the NHS (cosmetic surgery, certain experimental treatments, etc.), they may face the full bill.

  4. Emergency Private Admission

    • If an ambulance mistakenly brings someone to a private hospital (rare), or if the patient consents to private emergency care, costs can spiral.

    • For a normal NHS patient (UK resident, not going private), an overnight hospital stay — whether for observation, surgery, or emergency — is free at the point of use. They wouldn’t get a $1000 bill.

So again, the request seems legitimate. My problem is this, I have no idea of the life style of the very

rich and famous. If they pick up the tab for each other without thought or, if they go dutch. Speaking for myself, if I'm able, and its not outrageous, I'll pick up the tab if friends and I go for dinner. However never have I had, or been around when there's been a $1,000 dinner bill. And I don't know anyone who could've picked up that bill without issue. Anyway, she gets a flat out no, and a are you nuts for asking a stranger for that much money with no bonna fides as to who you really are? So this goes back and forth and it gets a bit nasty.

Then after these disappointing back and fourths, where we had almost, told one another to get lost, at around 9 P.M., or 1A.M in the UK, I receive this through Fb messenger. "Guess you're having a wonderful time with someone else here". I make an effort to keep my dirty laundry private, at least while its happening, so I said to her, "Please WhatsApp" because that's where we'd been all day. Seeing the time, and the sulky nature of the message, it didn't take much to figure out, if she was truly legit, and had taken stuff to manage the pain she was all too likely in, she'd gone to sleep. So not being the ass she was half convinced I was/am , I said to her, "Aww you're asleep. Rest. Lovely girl".

Day 3

So at 7:38 AM I receive this from her, "You're not as caring and loving as I thought". I had only just gotten out of bed, and had a sip or two of coffee, and I said to her, "Liar, you've no idea of who I am". Switching from Fb Messenger back to WhatsApp, we continued to trade not barbs, but now at least trying to make an effort to understand the other. 

So as the day progresses, and the tension comes down, I receive this image. Here she's looking softer, gentler than in the other images she'd sent me. Also crucially, her left hand is obviously absent from the picture. Which is the hand that I'd been shown to be wounded. Because of the incredible bullshit that surrounds celebrity, its nearly impossible to establish that yes, you've got the real one. So I pushed a bit wanting to see the bandaged hand, which I'd seen the day before, so showing it to me shouldn't have been an issue at all. She refused claiming embarrassment. Which is reasonable, she's met a new set of boundaries, and is respecting them. Or perhaps not. The individual behind the above, late this afternoon chose a form of emotional/financial manipulation that's just wrong. If it was her, I hoped not.
