If you’re not in $TLSS yet, you will be missing out!
As the title says, now is the time to get in $TLSS! This is on the verge of a massive boom and big things are coming! Obligatory * rockets* moons Who they are- TLSS (Transportation and Logistics Systems inc.) is an e-commerce delivery company. They specialize in providing Last Mile, two-person Home Delivery and Line Haul services for some of the world’s leading online retailers. They also operates a fleet of GPS equipped Tractors, Box Trucks and Cargo Vans offering delivery services for clients throughout the northeast United States. They do this through their two subsidiaries, Prime EFS and ShypDirect. Leadership- TLSS is run by top notch leadership in John Mercadante and Doug Cerny. The two men responsible for taking Coach USA from a $100 MM company to a $1 BB company in only 3 years acquiring 30+ other companies along the way. These guys know what they’re doing and have proven it over the last year. What they have been doing- The company has obviously been busy during COVID, and especially busy throughout the holidays. The earnings and 8ks have shown us that TLSS has been very successful. Through dilution and increased profits, TLSS has focused on paying down massive debt accumulated by the previous leadership as well as acquisitions of other companies. Unfortunately, TLSS has had to focus on lawsuits from the previous leadership throughout 2020, however, those fronts are looking good as the suits are potentially being dropped and thrown out. The other good news is that dilution has ended. Because of these two things, we have seen some stock growth over the last week or so. Cougar Express deal- One acquisition closing soon is Cougar Express, another Transportation company based on the East Coast. This will allow TLSS to expand their client base and their connections to larger transportation companies, thus generating more income. That deal is set to close no later than 1/15/21. Possible FedEx deal- On top of the Cougar Express deal, it has been stated by TLSS that they have a major partnership with a large household name delivery company. Through some deep research, including multiple conversations with John and Doug by another investor, it has been strongly hinted by TLSS that this partner is, in fact, FedEx. When this deal is announced, it is guaranteed that we will see massive gains, as bigger eyes will then be on TLSS. The future- TLSS is showing signs of further acquisitions as well as strengthening their current positions. They are also gearing up for uplisting to larger markets, the goal being the NASDAQ. Of course, with a current stock value of $.029, we will be experiencing a reverse split at some point in the future. However, this is not a bad thing. With the news and earnings lined up for the near future, a reverse split will be a strong strategy to launch TLSS far past the minimum requirements for the NASDAQ. In conclusion, TLSS has a big future and is almost guaranteed to blow up over the coming months. If there were a time to get in, it is now. Because once they start dropping news and making announcements, this is going to moon like nothing else has in a long time. TLSS is not just another gamble of a penny stock. This is a legit company with solid leadership and a bright future. Attached are a series of links with further DD and a ton more info and insight by other Redditors from our TLSS page TLSS.

To think of these stars that you see overhead at night, these vast worlds which we can never reach. I would annex the planets if I could; I often think of that. It makes me sad to see them so clear and yet so far. -- Cecil Rhodes, Last Will and Testament
This is the 3rd post in a series on South Africa and Apartheid and so far in the first two neither Apartheid nor South Africa even exists. But we are to the mid climax. In first part we discussed how our groups of players: Afrikaners, British, Xhosa, Zulu, minor tribes, other ethnicities got to what would become South Africa. In the second part we discussed how the Zulus and Xhosa knocked themselves out of the game leaving the British and Afrikaners as the main players standing for who got rule what would become South Africa. We also discussed how the British policy was non-viable. This part is going to discuss how the British changed course and consequently won control. We are also going to get to the genesis of the Western Left's hatred of the Afrikaners and the genesis of Apartheid, We'll end on the creation of the Union of South Africa which while not the Republic of South Africa will allow me to stop talking about "Southern Africa", "territory that will become South Africa".... But unfortunately you will have to sit through this one more post where South Africa doesn't exist yet. Cecil Rhodes was born in 1853 the sickly asthmatic 5th son of a not particularly notable clergyman. He'd remain sickly his entire life dying in 1902 at the age of 48 from the sorts of deterioration of the heart and lung one wouldn't expect to see until a man was at least well into their 90s. In that short span he would: become one of the richest men in the world; found several countries; change the entire economic structure of the territories that would become: South Africa, Botswana, Zambia, Mozambique, Namibia and Zimbabwe; found 2 major corporations: the British South Africa Company and De Beers; rethink British imperialism inventing what would become the British Commonwealth; becoming one of the defining figures and great visionaries of the Victorian Age; trigger the 2nd Boer War; demonstrate the strategy changing nature of the machine gun decades before World War 1; be the only genuinely important Prime Minister of the Cape Colony; invent the concept of corporate armies; play a large role in saving the South African wine industry and most importantly be the only individual getting his own post in this series. :) Rhodes was sent to South Africa at the age of 17 so that the British weather didn't kill him. Rather than doing the normal thing and spending the money (amounting to a decade or less of a comfortable middle class salary, but no great fortune) on living with some gambling and girls thrown in he decided to head to the newly discovered diamond mines in Kimberly and started buying up small diamond mining operations leveraging each mine's output and outside financing to buy the next. Later he partnered with leading financing and trading firms so by 1888 had what amounted to monopoly control of diamond industry turning De Beers into the diamond powerhouse it remains to this day though the last pieces wouldn't fall into place until 1890. He by the 1880s De Beers was throwing off enough excess profits that he could pay investors and continue expending De Beers while being able to found the predecessor to the British South Africa Company operating much further into the interior opening up Bechuanaland and Rhodesia as colonies using his own profits to fund the administrative expenses much as the East India Company had done a century earlier. Rhodes believed that British policy wasn't viable because it was petty. A vibrant healthy economy throws off an enormous amount of tax revenue. Petty colonialism, like the kind the British were engaging in would never generate much profit because of its very short term nature. Britain should make money by investing in the local economy, spend some on upkeep, reinvesting most of the profits and just skim a little of a forever growing payout. What Britain had tried to do with the American colonies encouraging economic development was the right approach. The problem was London had been shortsighted and selfish turning the local administrators against them. The independence of the USA wasn't a strategic failure it was the result of poor tactical implementation. The problem the British were facing in Southern Africa was similar and since the policies had been similar the results would be as well. The Afrikaners had no reason to be loyal to a Britain which had spent almost a century making very clear that it had no interest in their welfare or society beyond some ports which were frankly not nearly so important since Suez had opened. Rhodes changed policy to have Britain stop acting like a colonizing power and start acting like the domestic government of South Africa as much as possible .Outlining his changes to colonial governing policy:
Colonial financing -- utilize profits from business ventures fund army. Rhodes' companies were good examples of this the British charter and the backing of British troops allowed him to make excess profits which allowed him to incur expenses which the previous skinflint administration could never have tolerated. For example British colonial bonds generated an average return of 4.7%. Investments in independent American bonds generated an average return of only 2.9%. The difference was not being taken into account when the Colonial Office calculated their return on investment which to Rhodes' mind was simply lousy accounting.
Long term investment -- In general rewire the metrics used at the London Colonial Office to focus on long term investment not short term profits.
Demographics -- The British were the world's first people. Physically populate as much of the world as possible. Assimilate other people's into the British way of life. In South Africa in particular he intended to win the hearts and minds of the Boer.
Stability -- The previous administration had focused on stability because instability created upheavals that increased administrative costs. For too long British colonial policy was to tolerate and coexist with local culture. To create a profitable economy agricultural efficiencies are going to need to be introduced. That means 90% of the natives are going to freed up to work in a manufacturing and processing workforce. It also means the agricultural tribal traditional culture is going to be completely destroyed. Instability not stability should be policy. Seek to replace local culture with British culture to enhance the potential for economic growth.
Glory to British not England -- English colonies exist for glory of England. British colonies self exist. England's glory is that is the Birthplace of the 1st people not how much of the world remains completely non-British while in some vague unimportant sense recognizing Victoria as their Queen.
Representation -- As long as colonial governments respond to a English democracy they will be unrepresentative of their people. Create a democratic institution which provides representation for all British people in a British Parliament. There should be an English parliament for England. Invite the United States to join this new institution. "Inauguration of a system of Colonial representation in the Imperial Parliament which may tend to weld together the disjointed members of the Empire and, finally, the foundation of so great a Power as to render wars impossible, and promote the best interests of humanity" (NB: this is essentially the British Commonwealth, though of course the USA was not invited)
Devastating defeat of enemies -- Colonial policy was designed to solve conflict cheaply. Small military victories do not undermine the hostile's economy nor their society and thus don't accomplish much. They simply delay and prolonging the problem created by the enemy allowing the enemy to choose points in time to achieve advantage. Avoid costly wars certainly but when war is needed seek to inflict devastating defeat so the subject people realize their inferiority. This realization facilities undermining their institutions and thus during the peace their way of life easily becomes more British. Further a willingness to war like this makes challenging Britain very costly and risky for potential enemies and thus wars will be far less frequent. The financial people are correct that the aggregate cost of inflicting devastating defeats infrequently is higher than more frequent small wars but the benefits are far greater. War carried out towards devastating defeat becomes a form of investment not a pure non-productive expense.
Scope -- The British were far to unambitious in their aims. The goal of British colonialism should be "all lands where the means of livelihood are attainable by energy, labour and enterprise". The scope was, "the occupation by British settlers of the entire Continent of Africa, the Holy Land, the Valley of the Euphrates, the Islands of Cyprus and Candia, the whole of South America, the Islands of the Pacific not heretofore possessed by Great Britain, the whole of the Malay Archipelago, the seaboard of China and Japan, the ultimate recovery of the United States of America as an integral part of the British Empire"
map of Cecil Rhodes' proposed British Empire You'll notice that all of Africa was in the map. Rhodes was of the opinion that Africa was incredibly rich in minerals and peoples. But it wasn't exploitable for profit because of a lack of transportation infrastructure. Rhodes was pushing to start fixing this by creating a full African north-south railway connecting "Cairo to the Cape". Rhodes' BSAC conquests were designed to drive north while he used his political influence to push the Egyptian conquest further south into Anglo-Egyptian Sudan and then a business similar to BSAC run by Sir William Mackinnon to push into Uganda. For the northward push (primarily in what today is Zambia, Zimbabwe and Botswana) Rhodes was directly implementing his policy using a private army funded from the British South Africa Company. The Ndebele and Shona (Zulu tribes) were handled easily by the devastating defeat principle. Rhodes' forces demonstrated how effectively Maxims (a primitive form of machine gun) and barbed wire worked against simple rifles, spears and long shields achieving kill ratios never before seen in the history of warfare. As an aside these battles against the Zulus would also be used by those military theorists and historians who correctly anticipated in the later 1890s through 1910s how devastating a war between the great powers would be using these weapons against each other. Rhodes through BSAC had managed to push north of Lake Mweru and to the Northern tip of Lake Nyasa. Which almost connected with Sudan were it not for German East Africa (Burundi, Rwanda, and Tanzania) in the middle. In theory an alternative route through the Belgian Congo would also work but the gold mines in Tanzania kept Rhodes focused on taking German East Africa. Further Rhodes met his match in ruthlessness when it came to the Belgians. When Rhodes' negotiating agent sought a development contract for mineral-rich Katanga (in Congo) the native ruler Msiri refused. King Leopold II of Belgium obtained the same concession by having his agent signing it to Belgium himself over Msiri's dead body in the name of the "Congo Free State". At the same time Rhodes worked with the Colonial office and in 1890 British issued the "1890 British Ultimatum" to Portugal. This ultimatum by the British government forced the retreat of Portuguese military forces from areas which had been claimed by Portugal on the basis of historical discovery and recent exploration, but which the United Kingdom claimed on the basis of effective occupation. Portugal had attempted to claim a large area of land between its colonies of Mozambique and Angola including most of present-day Zimbabwe and Zambia and a large part of Malawi, which had been included in Portugal's "Rose-coloured Map". This ultimatum violated the Anglo-Portuguese Treaty of 1373 which to that point had been the longest standing peace treaty in history. Who owned what by the early 1900s Take a look at the map above and imagine the British controlling the north-south line connecting to a British/Portuguese line running east-west in the south and a joint French/British/Italian line running east-west in the north. From there local government and companies could construct smaller feeder lines creating a modern rail system. Hopefully and you start to see how Rhodes intended to start developing the transpiration infrastructure needed to create a strong African economy. All this was going to be for naught though if Southern Africa ended up as a Boer state hostile to British interests on the model ZAR (Zuid-Afrikaansche Republiek, Transvaal Republic). So Rhodes decided to run for Prime Minister of the Cape Colony and solve the problems of British strategy explicated in part 2. The primary problem the Boer had with British government is their divide and conquer approach. The British tilted to whomever was losing (a standard British policy they would also follow in Palestine) which for decades meant treating the Boer and native Africans as both being subject peoples while favoring the native Africans against the Boer. In Rhodes mind you could not expect to get loyalty from people you were obvious disfavoring. The British were the ones turning the Boer into enemies. So in 1892 Rhodes instituted the Franchise and Ballot Act. This was seen as a compromise between factions in the Colonial Office and the traditions in the Cape Colony for a broad democracy (anyone with £25 in property could vote) and Orange and ZAR's (Zuid-Afrikaansche Republiek, Transvaal Republic) more exclusive democracy. Rhodes raised the amount of property to £75, an amount specifically chosen to disempower many of the native Africans while allowing many Boers to vote. With a Boer and British based democracy locked in the Cape Colony's democratic powers could be strengthened, creating more self rule and making the involvement of the London Colonial Office less obvious. This concept of using a not explicitly racial criteria while instituting laws with racist intent is very modern. Various Liberals in the London Colonial Office especially missionaries disagreed strongly with Rhode's policies. They had been the ones advocating for the enlightened colonialism that was British policy. Missionaries in particular saw their role as: combating godlessness, superstition and backwardness. In particular encourage better use of land; encourage paycheck work; become trusted advisor to tribal leaders. The slogan "Bring the 3Cs into Africa" referred to Commerce, Christianity and Civilization. To their mind Rhodes' vision of British Imperialism was straight up military tyranny. If followed he would make England no different than a modern day Genghis Khan, creating a empire loathed by a vast expanse of subject peoples who would unite against it from all directions. Instead interfering minimally and being seen as an ally while slowly educated the elite in British custom and religion would cause a gradual consensual change that would build British alliances that would last centuries. Plus such an approach would fulfill the Lord's Great Commission (term for Jesus' command to convert the entire world to Christianity) in a way that honored God rather than shamed him. One need only look at how the Spanish, Portuguese and Balkans had thrown off Islam after centuries to see how ineffective military tyranny was at long term conversions that didn't require force. So in their mind: No the London Office should stand by its traditional values of: monopoly companies and plantations run in (unequal) partnership with indigenous elite. free trade, free (and indeed forced) migration, infrastructural investment, balanced budgets, sound money, the rule of law and incorrupt administration. As far as their Boer, in their mind the Boer were the primary impediment to enlighten British rule in South Africa, being Christians they were obligated to agree with the missionaries on the vision of the White Man's Burden and Enlightened Empire. Rather than making concession to the Boer they needed to be crushed to demonstrate the moral difference between the Boer and the British. With Rhodes' change in policy tilting towards rather than away from the Boer the Western Left came to truly hate the Boer in 1890s. Since the point of this series is the analogy I'll add that I wrote two posts about more or less the same groups of Liberal Christians turning against Israel again having to do with Israeli/Jews discrediting Liberal Western values and thus interfering with the Great Commission: WCC churches and Quakers. Rhodes in debates before and at the time considered this Liberal Empire stuff to be simply aspirational. Without economic interference there wasn't enough money to fund anything like what the Liberals proposed. He'd point to facts like that after a century of such rules in India they had increased the secondary schooling 7x to a whopping 2% while England with not nearly as many well funded missionary organizations was over 16%. Rhodes hoped to unify all of Southern Africa around this compromise approach to the franchise. ZAR however rejected this compromise. By the mid 1990s approximately 1/3rd of their white population were British (Anglicans). ZAR had every intent of maintaining religious based voting criteria (i.e. citizenship in ZAR was only open to people who were members of several Dutch Reformed Churches, see part 2). Obviously for Rhodes a situation where British people were the disempowered minority was intolerable. Additionally the ZAR were maintaining an anti-Cape Colony / anti-British / anti-Rhodes trade policy. It was becoming increasingly clear there would need to be regime change. So in 1895 Rhodes organized an attempted coup d'état now called the "Jameson Raid" (yes the same Jameson who went on to be Prime Minister 1904-8 of the Cape Colony after the 2nd Boer War). The Afrikaners were more astute than natives had been caught wind of the early organization and waited until the forces were committed trapping hundreds of Rhode's people creating a great embarrassment. Its at this point that the Boer made by far the greatest mistake of their history as a people. The 4 years between 1895-9 were when they made the choices that led to their ruin. The British were really embarrassed. A colonial governor who had a crown chartered corporation had been caught red handed engaging in a serious act of war against another sovereign state with no approval from Parliament. The Colonial Office admitted as much and forced Rhodes out of office in 1896. The Afrikaners had real negotiating leverage to work out a deal. It obviously would be extremely important that the next leader of the Cape be friendly. But they didn't decide to negotiate. Instead they started flirting with the Germans, while not actually signing a formal alliance with Germany that at least had the potential to provide them real protection. The flirtation however, turned a nasty incident into a serious threat to all British interests in Southern Africa forcing a British response. In Britain an alliance of Jingoists (populist military hawks) angry about the humiliation of 1st Boer War, Conservative Imperialists who wanted to end Boer independence especially in the ZAR (the 3 core values for Conservatives at the time were: Union with Ireland, the Empire and the superiority of the British race), Liberal Imperialists who supported Rhodes' vision and Missionaries who hated the Boer formed pushing for a war. Seeing this alliance form against them the Afrikaners did nothing to avert the danger. Rather they made a mistake many 2nd tier powers do when it comes to 1st tier powers. The Afrikaners confused the light force and weak will the 1st tier power is willing to spend on them with the amount of force the 1st tier power is capable of employing if it so chooses. Having beaten the British handily in the 1st Boer War when they were fighting the C-team (as I called in part 2) the Afrikaners grossly underestimated what they would face against a British army that had a political mandate for victory, what Britain's A-team would look like. Preparing for something slightly worse than the 1st Boer War the Boer began a serious arms buying program in 1897. ZAR also got more belligerent in their rhetoric which led to a formal alliance with the Orange State and Boer guerilla groups that could support the war effort in the Cape. The Boer had about 63k troops including some foreign troops. . The British were determined not to lose the 2nd Boer War. This was going to be the British-A team. By the second phase of the war between British soldiers, soldiers from other colonies and local Africans providing auxiliary Boer were facing a 500-600k man army. Nor was the command third or even second rate as it had been in the 1st Boer War. For example, the top military command would be Herbert Kitchener who was fresh from the victorious Anglo-Egyptian invasion of Sudan. Kitchener after the 2nd Boer War would go on to be the Commander-in-Chief for the armies in India and a decade after that the UK's Secretary of State for War during World War 1. He's this guy: Kitchener famous 1914 recruiting poster The cost to maintain that army would be £60m / year far more than Britain could ever pull out of Southern Africa (GDP and inflation adjusted the Boer War would cost the UK about $250b). The first phase of the war was a Boer offensive while the British were still deploying troops in October–December 1899. Once the British were done they conquered all pockets of resistance in the Cape and Orange as well as essentially the entire ZAR territory January to September 1900. The Afrikaners decided to fight when surrender was the better option. Leading to a guerrilla war between September 1900 and May 1902. The British simply could not afford to keep an army of that size in the field for years dealing with guerilla tactics until the Boer admitted they were beat. Facing time pressure the British felt they had no choice but to come down hard. The British cut the guerilla war short by instituting a scorched earth policy against areas giving support to guerillas in the ZAR (most of the ZAR). ZAR men were mostly in the militias. Scorched earth destroyed the food supply in the ZAR so the British threw the women and children in concentration camps. The army hadn't prepped for needing to support massive numbers of civilians so malnutrition and disease were rampant in the concentration camps. This disease and malnutrition resulting in a camp death rate of approximately 30% annually. A policy amounting to genocide. Pro Boer forces in the UK generated widespread opposition to the camps so the military response was to not confine woman and children and instead leave civilians on the now barren earth to die of starvation and exposure. Actual POWs were deported to Bermuda and India preventing the Boer from standing any chance of liberating them. African tribes that had lost territory to the Boer began moving in. While both sides had agreed not to arm natives or recruit tribes. But the British weren't going to fight for the Boer if tribes decided to take advantage of their defeat. The Boer were quickly losing everything they were fighting for: freedom, their lands, their family, the self dependence and surrendered rather than have their population geocoded to oblivion, being left with no economy and whatever lands they managed to hold being assaulted on all sides by natives who would take it from them. The Boer society that emerged from the surrender did not have separatist attitude. Destitute Boers now willing to work in the minds and alongside black Africans swelled the ranks of the unskilled urban poor competing with the "uitlanders" in the mines. The new economy was unambiguously focused on gold causing mine production to swell enriching the British interests. The Afrikaners were both physically and psychologically crushed, and wouldn't be causing any more problems for decades. In the UK the war came to be seen as excessive especially as the financial cost of the war sunk in. The Conservatives' suffered a spectacular defeat in 1906 driving the Conservative Prime Minister at the time (12 July 1902 – 4 December 1905) Arthur Balfour from office. He comes up rather regularly on this sub in his later role as Foreign Minister. As the Boer are no longer resisting the British Empire the shift towards more pro-Boer policies from England continues. In 1909 the British Parliament dissolves the British colonies of: Cape of Good Hope, Natal, Orange River Colony, and Transvaal and combines them into a Federal Union of South Africa. This makes South Africa into a Dominion (essentially Australia's status at the time). Jan Smuts (an Afrikaner) resurrects Rhodes' idea of a Common Wealth and the British embrace it. And so we conclude part 3 our story of how the British eventually won and South Africa came to exist. How the Western Left started to hate the Boer, a hatred they would resurrect later. And how the first steps towards apartheid were taken. Whew that was longer than I intended!
Is this company (Little Wheel) legit? Details in description.
https://www.littlewheel.co.uk/ NJ, USA To summarize, I submitted an application to this company after I found them on indeed three weeks ago. The description was "online casino testing". I know no that it is not testing at all, it is gambling and they are backers for their "employees". Their whole principle includes hiring temps (need new SSNs) who will then make accounts and take advantage of signup bonuses, deposit bonuses, and promotions in various online casinos. They claim it is entirely legal. I went through all of the training today and learned more about it but before I go any further I want to do some research before I put myself at risk. I opened a new bank account, paypal, slack, GAS (the client you have open while playing the casino games) and gmail account all of which they have the sign in information too, which has me concerned. They seem to be in depth and legit but I'm worried about potentially putting myself in a lot of risk for $1,000-2,000 over a couple weeks. The slide show in training stressed that we would never have to deposit our own money and our personal money would never be at risk. They seem to be very in depth with everything. They did list their lawyer after the section about if employees were to complete any sort of fraud. Information on earnings can be found here: https://newgas.screenstepslive.com/s/21810/m/94240/l/1160380-earnings Important tax question: https://newgas.screenstepslive.com/s/21810/m/94240/l/1367027-will-you-have-to-pay-tax-on-all-the-winnings-on-your-account Edit: wanted to clarify that this is a United States thing and not UK after the url, the company is based in both NJ and the UK I believe.
Corporation Doing A Raffle; Illegal? Where to Report?
So recently I noticed a gaming chair company doing a "raffle" where if you buy a chair in a certain small time frame, you'll be entered to win their "raffle" for a variety of big prizes while partnering with big name streamers. Noticing they used the word Raffle... I immediately searched for a "no purchase necessary" and as expected, there was a lack of it. It was my understanding that Raffles are reserved for Non-Profit Organizations and not allowed for businesses to run, and in which this should instead fall into a "sweepstakes" that lacks an option for no purchase necessary, requiring the participants to pay upwards of about $300 to enter for a chance to win. Am I misunderstanding or isn't this incredibly illegal under gambling laws online? I thought a form with the Ic3 but, It seemed they'd require to you to first become a victim of it and there's no way I'm supporting a business that's doing this. (Location; United States. Worldwide raffle with the business being located somewhere in the USA. Assumingly California based though the company hasn’t listed anywhere any exact state, just United States.)
Rough Night at The Running Bear Casino (PAGE 2 of 2)
PAGE 2 of 2 **** * **** Hussein nudged his brother Iqbal and aimed his chin toward the bar. “Look, a fat, stupid American has finally managed some success.” Iqbal smirked, “It is the only way the infidels can succeed. They have no education and no skills to do anything useful. They don’t even worship their own God anymore, only money and fame. They will soon learn better…” The brothers were out enjoying a night of revelry, with a few more planned when they reached the city. The celebrations were a last reward before they fulfilled their mission and achieved True Paradise through martyrdom. Hussein was superstitious and hoped to find success at gambling before they took the great risk that if successful, would help to sustain their cause. They’d grown up in this land of debauchery and foolishness but had been taught from the first to honor their own Beliefs and culture above anything the Americans professed. Hussein was on roll number five of what he intended to be a short run. He wished to win five times for the Five Pillars of Islam, the name of his cell in the latest great Jihad. He blew on the dice and tossed. The small cubes bounced against the back side of the pit and tumbled end over end as he watched breathlessly. “Another ten!” the barker called. And pushed the winnings toward Hussein. He placed a minimum bet and rolled once more. He had already left the table before the barker called, “Snakeyes! Next roller please.” He held up his chips triumphantly, “Iqbal, more money from roll number five! I kept the bet in place for five rolls, I left only the minimum for the last roll, it is a Sign! We are fated to succeed. We will meet the others tomorrow, go over the plan, and then have a few last nights to revel in this world…” Iqbal patted his brother on the shoulder, “There is something I would like more than winning chips. He nodded toward the bar and the attractive and sinuous young local who worked behind it, steadily polishing glasses. Hussein watched for a moment, unsure whether his brother meant the alcoholic drinks that had been forbidden until now or the woman. Knowing Iqbal, he assumed both. “As you wish brother. Take your mortal enjoyments while you can. She looks a little sullen though, frown, lowered brows, I like the happy ones.” Iqbal’s serpent-like smile widened, “She will look better when I have freed her from the miseries of the uncircumcised. She will enjoy a real man. Who knows? Maybe I will convert her so that we can meet again in Paradise.” With that, he surged away from his brother and slithered up to the bar opposite the young First Nations maid. “Good evening, I noticed that you do not have many customers at the bar. It seems odd that so beautiful a creature as yourself would not attract more company.” The woman ignored him, intently focused on her task. He tried again, “Perhaps I must order a drink to remain at the bar? If so, a gin and tonic if you please.” She continued to polish the glass. He leaned forward, “Did you hear me?” he inquired in an annoyed tone. “Perhaps you have no business because you are surly and unhelpful.” She looked at him and delivered a smirk that appeared to be far more evil than anything he could ever hope to muster, despite his thin, reptilian lips and predatory mind, “We don’t want customers to linger at the bar, getting drunk and building from misery to anger over their losses. We want them playing… and losing.” She leaned toward him and glared into his own eyes that he normally considered flinty and daunting. “You know about losing, don’t you?” Hussein noted that the large man at the end of the bar in the “Security” shirt had begun stumping toward them. “Iqbal, perhaps it is time to go look for other entertainment.” Iqbal ignored him, he was trapped in the serpent’s gaze, like a mouse dropped into a snake’s tank to be devoured while its owner watched with perverse interest. Hussein reached for his brother to tug at his arm but never got the chance. The big security officer seized his hand, drew it to his too wide chest and turned. The weight of the man drew him away from his brother and caused him to spin around so that he ended up facing the goon with his brother beyond the man and in the clutches of the Serpent Woman. The ham-fisted gargantuan continued to twist the hand he gripped until the pressure caused Hussein sever pain. He grunted and bent into the angle of his wrist to relieve the distress. He found himself bent forward and looking up desperately toward the man’s face. The security staffer smiled, his square, blunt teeth showing dark behind an almost lipless mouth. His wide back and chest, covered in body armor under his shirt made him appear like a monster-sized… Turtle. Hussein felt himself lifted and placed behind the bar. His brother soon slithered over the top and fell to the floor beside him, smiling beatifically. Hussein opened his mouth to scream for help, but a large, blunt fist crashed into the side of his head and he saw stars… seven of them, like the Holy... The fist descended once more, and he saw only darkness. **** * **** Fr. Danilo Bayani was immensely enjoying his latest trip to the continental USA. He had visited Hawaii many years ago, and New York City more recently, but this was his first tour of the grand landbound spaces that this country offered. He’d managed to roam so far from his origins in Manila. Now, in his twilight years, he longed to see what he could of God’s Green Earth. All on the payroll of The Vatican while they cleanse the records of those hateful… allegations. The bitter thoughts raced across his mind. Of course he was a sinner, he was only mortal. He’d been expiated of those sins and had paid an enormous price to continue serving in his capacity as a parish priest. He forced his mind to return to the moment and more enjoyable pursuits. He noted the hirsute and similar appearing pair of men who had gone to the bar and wondered why the Security officer approached them, but his attention was called once more to the round of Texas Hold’em and his table mates. When he again had a moment to look, no one was at the bar, in front or behind… curious, he thought, but he quickly refocused his attention on the fascinating new game he was in the process of learning. He was familiar with Poker, so it wasn’t difficult to learn. He liked the high level of interaction that this version of the old game allowed. He’d done well, certainly gained enough to fund extracurricular activities during the rest of his current sabbatical. He’d been disturbed by the overall atmosphere of this place when he’d arrived. He did not care for the numerous paintings and sculptures of Ancient Native Deities and Spirits. They seemed to be mostly images of the Dark Beings of various Tribal cultures. He loved to study diverse cultures, but this place was an amalgamation of cultures, built for mutual support by several Tribes in the region. Much of the artwork was schlocky and clearly intended to cater to the garish and sordid tastes of the vapid gambling set. Some part of him did not feel… welcome, as though he had intruded on some private Place, set aside for Other Gods. He shook off the depressing musings… There areNO Other Gods, he reassured himself. He soon stepped away from the table to take care of personal needs and to decide what he should do with the rest of his night. Perhaps he would visit the White Dove Restaurant & Ballroom on the other side of the hotel lobby from the casino. It boasted a good reputation according to online reviews, even though it was a simple buffet style with a dance floor to one side. He liked the name, it was… peaceful he decided. He soon had a selection of food piled onto a plate and was seated near the dance floor. The place was sparsely occupied, so his hopes of being able to watch dancers as he ate were dashed. Still, the food was good enough. A little bland, but that was necessary in a place that acted as a crossroads of cultures. There was a spice table at the end of the primary row of entrees. He’d helped himself, yet nothing seemed to attach to his taste buds. The combination of eating nearly alone, having no one with energy around him, and the tasteless food soon had him growing restless. He finished up his repast and left the table to go out to the final section of the complex he had not visited, the River Overlook. As he passed the table nearest the entrance, he saw a stout man in a rumpled sport coat, who glared daggers at him, eyes focused on his crucifix, the only outward sign of his profession. The man appeared to be so hostile, that he paused for a moment to determine whether he’d done anything to offend the fellow. “Excuse me sir, have I offended you in some way?” The man looked startled. He was apparently unused to being confronted about his demeanor or behavior. He scowled, “Don’t like that thing you have around your neck. You Catholics are all Hell-bound. No concept of righteousness. Not that you’d understand, you people don’t even read The Book. You listen to your priests and pope and disregard The Word. All the kneeling and ritual prayers in the world won’t save you in the end. Go back to your idols and beads and leave me alone to seek Heaven.” Fr. Bayani was startled by the vehemence with which the man spoke. He hadn’t been attacked directly for his Faith in years. “Sir, I’m not sure what Religion you practice, but I am a man of God, a consecrated priest of the Holy Church. I assure you that I understand more than most, if not as much as I would like. I meant no harm and wish you a peaceful night.” With that, he started to walk past the man, but the man rose from his table and pointed his finger, “Your pope is the Anti-Christ, and your Church is a place of Satan! Look to the Bible for your salvation before it’s too late.” Fr. Bayani increased his pace and continued on his journey to the River Overlook. He would need the peace and tranquility that nature and the sound of flowing water would provide to settle his roiling mind. **** * **** Pastor Bill resumed his seat and shook his head, “Fool, doesn’t know that he’s risking his soul, courting Damnation.” He’d had a bad run at the tables over at the casino. His Denomination frowned on games of chance, but he had needed the money. One of his congregation had come up pregnant and they had to get it resolved before the three-month deadline for abortions. He knew that if his wife found out about Carmen, then she would divorce him. He was here to break every major rule that he professed to hold dear each week. His plan for quick money had failed, so he’d visited the bar. Now he hoped that eating would guide him back to sobriety. He had to think of another plan. Seeing that… priest had annoyed him. Had he not been inebriated, he would never have said what he did, nor stared so rudely in the first place. Yet he wanted someone on whom to vent the anger he felt, that arose from fear and he’d always disliked the papists. If his wife divorced him, if the scandal involving the woman who cleaned the church all week and then occupied the back pew every Sunday ever broke; he would lose his ministry, his livelihood. His degree in Theology would be worthless. He might be able to get a job teaching, at some secular school, but most would not hire fervent Christians like himself. He stared dejectedly at his plate of food that had contained more spice and flavors than he liked, a shadow passed in his periphery. It was low-slung and blurred just a bit as it loped along the wall. He thought he heard an odd laugh, somewhere between human and… canine? Maybe a little like a hyena might sound, or so he imagined. There was a manic quality to the laughter. A jest that was on him so that only the other Entity knew what it was. It was the wicked laughter of children at play, who’d decided to target a fat kid with glasses.A kid whose parents had been abusive addicts but who later “got right” through religious-based recovery programs.Their faith had led him to his own, but he’d never really lost those early traumas of being unaccepted by his peers and being beaten by people who later professed faith above all. A mocking whine, definitely doggish, his now sobering consciousness informed him. Something was making fun of him, teasing him from the shadows. He looked around for staff members or other customers but found himself alone. The dining area and the dance floor were deserted. It was odd, there was almost always someone at the buffet service tables. He looked over to the kitchen doors in hopes that one of the employees would burst through with a fresh serving of chicken wings or whatever tray had been emptied. He saw dark figures move past the clouded round windows on the swinging doors and temporarily occlude the bright kitchen lights within, but they were indistinct blobs, and appeared to be focused on tasks of their own choosing rather than service of his needs. He stood and realized that he was more intoxicated than he’d realized. He immediately resumed his seat and bent forward to regain his balance and bearings… and to swallow his rising gorge. When he sat up again, a dark, shaggy form perched in the chair across from him. The figure was no more than a silhouette, a raggedly hewn shadow. Yet there were eyes. Sinister golden gleams appeared and blinked at him. He heard a heavy, panting sort of breathing and a gust of foul-smelling carnivore breath assaulted his olfactory senses. “Who? Er, what are you doing at my table?” he asked in a mushy, confused manner. Still fighting off waves of nausea. He could not see it very well in the poorly illuminated dining room, but his impression was that the... Being… smiled at him: a gaping, lolling smile, with a tongue dangling out to one side and sharp canines gleaming. “I thought I would check on you my righteous friend. You seem to be upset, unhappy. You nipped and barked at that other person who shares your Faith. I thought perhaps there was a deeper concern preying on your conscience?” Pastor Bill had to force himself to think through what this… person? Had said to him. Likely some hippie-dippy weirdo. “That guy was a Catholic priest, we’re nowhere near the same Religion.” Once more he heard the chortling laughter that was now very clear, “I’m sure you think it’s different. Those of his specific religion, came to these lands many years ago. They were the first of you Christians to arrive. The rest have been simple variations on a theme. The problems began, when your co-religionists assumed that only your God exists; that all of the local Gods and Spirits were instead Demons and Dark Powers. Instead of trying to show that yours is a better Way, you Christians insisted that yours is the only Way. You’ve forgotten that in Ancient Times, people held True to Deities who were attached to local communities or to the land and features around them; geographically and ethnically relevant. You have gone from subsuming and incorporating Older Gods as Angels and Saints, to Demonizing Them, and now in your hubris, to denying Them altogether.” He shook His head. “Too bad really, it creates an Adversarial relationship.” He chuckled at some joke that Pastor Bill was still too drunk to comprehend. Pastor Bill had grown increasingly fearful as the Voice intoned Its Philosophies. He wanted to refute that Voice, to deny Its very Existence. Yet he feared Its Wrath more than anything he’d ever feared, even the Fires of Hell. Instead of making a stand and arguing his faith, he staggered to his feet and ran, stumbled, blindly toward the kitchen and the pale, ghostly figures within. Surely someone within would save him! The sardonic laughter chortled after him and chased him into the too bright lights, descending into the yips and howls of Coyote even as the doors swung shut behind him. He looked around at the glowing white figures who halted in their various progresses to stare at him. Their eyes! There were none, just empty sockets, faces slack, with gaping, lamprey maws. He heard a new sound as they swarmed him… his own forlorn screams of ultimate agony. **** * **** Fr. Bayani stood out on the River Overlook platform and enjoyed the solitude that had so recently left him restless. There were plenty of noises out across the flowing torrent: the water itself, as it passed over hidden objects, fish as they leapt from its embrace to kiss the night air, frogs and insects, and the warbling, mournful sounds of a loon, and the soft sigh of the wind as it passed through the verdant landscape. This is much more peaceful than the White Dove he thought. He had some trouble shaking off ruminations on the verbal assault from the strange, possibly drunken man in the restaurant. He decided that he would pray for the man, that he would one day soon find The True Faith. Sometimes that was all one could do for the short-sighted. He heard a deep, coughing hiss out in the dark. He was startled but quickly realized that it was an American Alligator, cousin to creatures he had observed in many places around the planet. He was truly content, at one with Nature in all Her Glory… in all the natural splendor of Creation! he immediately corrected himself. A sound impinged on his senses as it slowly rose and obscured the others… it was a lapping sound at first, more like ocean waves on a beach than the banks of a river. Waves, at cross purposes to the flow of the river, slapped at the base of the platform. Soon they sounds evolved into splashes, as if something very large approached the River Overlook platform. He leaned over the rail to have a closer look. Perhaps it was a large water creature or a boat… maybe a ‘gator as the locals called the big reptiles. He peered down at the dim rippling surface below. At first, he was unable to discern anything but small reflections on the water as it swirled and lapped; then from below the surface, he spotted an eye, a too large eye! It glowed from within with a sickly luminescence akin to that produced by deep growing fungi. As he stared in horror, he saw a mouth gape below the eye, and enormous frog-like opening with no teeth but serrated lips, like some monstrous catfish. As he stared, too much in shock to act, he suddenly felt his body wrapped in strong, leprous flesh and he quickly lost his ability to breathe. The last sight he saw before he plunged over the safety rail was the thin, grey, first light of dawn. **** * **** Chief Harry Whitehorse gazed around at his fellow chiefs and Shamans from various local Tribes, “So, are The Dark Ones satisfied once again? Have They sated their appetites on strangers so that our peoples will be safe for another year?” Affirmative rumbles muttered around the conference room. Red Wolf, a Shaman, spoke from near the back row, “They are not only satisfied but Coyote assures us that the prey people will not be linked with our premises or business operations.” Most of the fresh mutters sounded pleased, but old Harry had to ask, “Can we trust Him?” Chortling laughter sounded throughout the conference room and ascended into thunderous yips and howls of hysterical glee.
Nazi's, Utah's $200B Mormonism, the USA's Bush family of US Presidents and Governors Links 32 US States Secretly Allowing Shill Corporations To Provide the Illusion of State Supervision For Thousands of "Certain" Attorneys.
***TL;DR***"A lie told long enough becomes the truth." -Joseph Goebbels, Nazi Minister of Propaganda. Links connecting Nazis, Utah's Mormonism and all Bush family US President's and Governors. (1)(2)(3) This all leads to one of the greatest ongoing deceptions in US History. Decades of financial genocide among tens of thousands of vulnerable Americans has been the result. It should be obvious "who" is controlling this money, now one of the worlds largest secret fortunes. Although this deception is centered in Utah, where it was discovered, the list of 32 other US States this is happening in can be found in this wikipedia listing. Scroll down about halfway to "Mandatory, integrated or unified bar associations" and you'll see the list of other states in that paragraph. ***Summary***" In Utah, there are about 6,500 State licensed attorneys. They are secretly allowed to target Utahans in more than a dozen ways and collect a fortune from every one. This is true because complaints about Utah attorneys are secretly handled by a deceptive private corporation that is also secretly funded by the attorneys. It is an incredulous, closed-loop-cycle of insidious deception that has been secretly perpetuated by Utah attorneys, attorneys who become judges, Utah law schools, professors and Utah politicians for decades. In Utah this deceptive, shill organization's name is still allowed to be "The Utah State Bar" giving people the idea that The Utah State Bar's day-to-day operations are funded by the State of Utah when it is not. This also means that there is also no "State Funded" office for victims of these attorneys to call to for help. As the years go by, thousands upon thousands of victims of these attorneys have no idea that they are being patronized, groomed and manipulated by a murderous, self-serving, narcissistic, sociopath, imposter person posing as a Utah attorney. Because of the devastation this brings to thousands of victims each year, it is a modern day financial genocide where even a victim's suicide means another fortune for the Utah "attorney". (It's horrifying to consider that this allowed deception may be the unconscionable reason Utah is also home to the worst rates of suicide in the Nation). Even though there are thousands of victims every year, Utah's politicians, Utah's courts, Utah's locally represented Federal offices of the FBI, the FTC, the US Attorney and Utah's greater law community also continue to look the other way. It is a cultural epidemic. Get in the game. Spread the word any way you can. Don't let Utah's Frankenstein legal illusions and monsters target you or a loved one any more. For a more detailed look into all this and the list of secret ways these deranged people are targeting their victims, read on. ***Decades of Law Fraud In 32 US States Finally Exposed"*** About five years ago, I learned that Utah, as a whole, is secretly home to the worst rates in the Nation for suicide, child abuse, financial fraud and bankruptcy (1)(2). About four years ago I learned that the State's politicians refuse to allow audit's of billions upon billions of taxpayer dollars spent (or hidden away) in incredulous ways. About three years ago I learned that Utah's politicians, judges, attorneys and law schools are desperately hiding decades of insidious law fraud (and the fortunes it generates for them). As a whole, Utah's citizens are strong, brave, trusting, giving, talented and creative people. However, the collective imagination of millions Utahans also makes them vulnerable to exploitation, corruption and fraud by morally bankrupt people (and those they control). Perhaps parts of this sometimes selective, culturally rewarding but sometimes self-destructive collective imagination is why so much has been hidden here for so long? After three and a half unpredictable years of watching and listening, in no uncertain way and with proof of everything, I can publicly share with you now that this insidious Utah law fraud began decades ago when lawmakers, who were also attorneys, for their own purposes, secretly allowed a private corporation to have a very deceptive name in providing the illusion of "State Supervision" by the "State of Utah" for Utah attorneys. Simultaneously, a second-hand consequence of this shameful deception is that there is NO official "State of Utah" department for victims of Utah's self-serving attorneys to call to for help. Today, Utah's 6,500 attorneys secretly know all of this and they are able to target innocent Utahans from all walks of life and collect one fortune after another in the process. This is all secretly, shamefully accomplished under that decades old deception, publicly perpetuated into your home, your life and your profession, by greedy cowards under the unconscionably false banner allowed to be known as "The Utah State Bar." It is critical to note that not only is "The Utah State Bar" a private corporation secretly allowed to pose as a "State Office," it is also funded by the same 6,500 Utah attorneys it provides the illusion of supervision for. This includes it's pay roll. In case you don't see the conflict of interest here this is the epitome of the phrase "the inmates are running the asylum". This is also why victim's complaints about Utah's 6,500 attorneys to "The Utah State Bar" are purposely dead-ended in an unpredictable nightmare for the victim. First, the victim who dares file a complaint against a "Utah attorney" will be ignored for several months. Eventually they will be notified that complaint was "unofficial". That means the Utah attorney was simply notified of the existence of a complaint. To make the complaint "official", the victim is told they need to get the complaint notarized then refile the complaint with a different person at "The Utah State Bar". If a victim dares do that, several more months will pass before the victim is told that the attorney was notified of the "content" of the complaint (making the complaint "official" as they term it) but that if the victim wants to pursue the complaint beyond that the victim needs to find another Utah attorney to sue the original Utah attorney in another deceptive Utah courtroom. A victim who dares to do that would also be risking another unpredictable pending "legal" matter at the hands of yet another "self-supervised" attorney and that would also take several years and cost tens of thousands of dollars (all while their original legal matter was allowed to worsen in unconscionable ways). However, if that victim dares to risk all this and years later is able to fund the case going all the way to "The Utah Supreme Court" the victim should know that the Justices of "The Utah Supreme Court" have demonstrated that they too will secretly look the other way and allow the attorney to keep pursuing victims and pocketing one fortune after another in the process. It gets worse. The following is a list of ways Utah's attorneys, judges and the rest of Utah's deceptive legal system are targeting thousands of Utah victims from all walks of life every year:
Because of an attorney's unique position and relationship to a "client" in Utah, the attorney can secretly groom the client in many ways to make simple cases go on for years and years at unconscionable costs. These are cases that should have been settled in a simple mediation session on Day 1. The attorneys do this with several insidious goals in mind.
When the person is a homeowner or a landowner, it's not uncommon to see attorney fees reach hundreds of thousands of dollars with no end in sight for years and no progress in the case. This is because the attorneys secretly know they can put a lien on the person's home or land, force the sale of it and collect on the falsely inflated amount.
If a "client" dies (or commits suicide) the attorneys can collect on an additional false fortune. They can do this by adding tens of thousands of dollars (or more) to the dead persons bill. The the person's surviving children and family can't do anything about it.
If you are aware of a case that involves a homeowner or a landowner and it's gone on for years, it's highly likely the attorneys are colluding with each other to drag the case on until the person dies (or commits suicide). In Utah, you don't have to look far to find a simple case that has been dragged on for 5-10 years or longer by the attorneys for this insidious purpose. In fact, you don't have to look far to find a Utah attorney who seems to groom "clients" to commit suicide.
In addition to the deception perpetuated under the lies of "The Utah State Bar", the justices of "The Utah Supreme Court" have demonstrated that they too are aware of these secret tactics and that they will continue to support Utah attorneys in engaging in them. (Yes I, Mike D. Jarman, a Utahan, am openly accusing "The Utah Supreme Court" of these critical deceptions.)
In artificially extending cases to collect unconscionable fortunes, Utah attorneys regularly collude with crooked judges, mediators, custody evaluators, the "Division of Child and Family Services", the "Office of Recovery Services", the "Utah Department of Human Services" and other services that appear to be "neutral". This is because it's simply a pay-to-play scheme. Whoever is willing to pay (or use a credit card, month-after-month, year-after-year) gets the result no matter how irrational or dangerous it seems.
Because Utah judges were once attorneys too and they had the same thing done for them they play along. This includes purposely giving irrational rulings in cases (and waiting months or years to do so) so that the case can be dragged on for years more with the appearance of appeals. Grooming by the attorney's plays a critical role in this too. Remember, the entire deceptive system exists to see to it that above all the attorneys can get paid for as long as possible or until the person dies or commits suicide. When you understand this, you will find answers to all the questions you may have about why a case has gone on for so long, so irrationally, so dangerously, so blatantly, so unconsionably.
Utah attorneys can pose as collection agents. They can solicit businesses or people in doing this. This means anyone the attorney can get the business or person to claim owes them money the attorney can then employ the deceptive system to harass the innocent person while adding thousands in fees to the original false amount (no matter how small the original false amount may have been or even if the persons credit card company already made a decision against the business and in favor of the innocent person and refunded the person). Because these deceptive "collection attorneys" generate so many false cases for Utah's deceptive courts and those cases generate revenue in expensive courthouse fees the court often awards collection attorneys whatever they demand, without a hearing or trial for the innocent person. Tragically, this deception allows attorneys to further molest a persons life because the false collection filing by the attorney hi-jacks the person's credit report for years and prevents the person from getting a job, buying a work vehicle or buying a home. The attorney's know this and because of these long term effects, many victims simply end up just paying the thousands of dollars in extortion fees to the attorney. Utah attorneys engage in thousands of these "collection" cases each year.
Utah attorneys can demand thousands of dollars in upfront payments disguised as "retainer fees" then never even call the person back. In fact, many attorneys will wait weeks or months then call the client back demanding thousands more for a "different course of action". Thousands of victims every year fall for it. Because this tactic is so rampant and easy for Utah attorneys to get away with, there are victims who have had more than one Utah attorney to this to them in the same year.
If a rape victim calls a Utah attorney to file a "protective order" against the rapist the attorney can demand $5,000, $10,000 or whatever the fearful woman will pay to fill out the form even though she could have done it for free online in less than an hour if someone had told her. It's unbearable to wonder how many rapes, murders and other violent crimes in Utah communities could have been prevented at the hands of a Utah attorney but weren't because exploiting a victim of rape out of thousands of dollars was more important to the "attorney".
Utah attorneys are allowed to be alcoholics, drug addicts, porn addicts, gambling addicts and worse without any supervision or accountability whatsoever. If an attorney needs an extra $10,000 a month to fund their addiction (or latest escapade) all they have to do is add it to random client(s) bills and the clients won't even know.
Utah attorneys are allowed to use other loopholes created and hidden by a deceptive courthouse department known as "The Utah Administrative Office of the Court". One loophole allows attorneys to further groom their "clients" and collude with judges and other parties as it doesn't require "proof of delivery" for certain, critical documents. Another loophole allows the attorneys to bill their client's extra hours of "wait" time without the client knowing what is really happening. It does this by mass-booking multiple cases all at the same time even though other courtrooms sit empty. This deception allows judges to secretly control what attorneys and law firms collect on millions of dollars a year in artificially extended "wait" times as they allow the attorneys they favor to "wait" the longest while billing hundreds of dollars an hour. It's not uncommon for an attorney or law firm to bill multiple clients each hundreds of dollars an hour for the same "wait" time. Remember, judges were once attorneys too and had the same thing done for them so they play along to take care of their own for reasons we can only imagine.
It's common for Utah attorneys to register a different business name to operate under every few years or to self-righteously cite "the Bar", "an oath", a "Code of Ethics" or the "direction of the Utah Supreme Court" as a way to skirt questioning them about any of this. In reality, these are just more tactics to keep up the false image that Utah attorneys are "Ambassadors of the law". In fact, Utah attorneys are Utah's worst deceivers of "the law" because they are the only ones who hide behind it while targeting innocent Utahans from all walks of life.
To avoid being exposed and feigning ignorance to any and all evidence presented, many Utah attorneys will try to claim that the "Utah Supreme Court" supervises The "Utah State Bar". Regardless of what deceptive language "Utah State Bar" tries to hide behind to imply that it is "directed" by the Utah Supreme Court, in reality, no Justices of the (incompetent or corrupt) "Utah Supreme Court" supervise "The Utah State Bar's" actions from day-to-day. In fact, undeniable proof exists that the "Utah Supreme Court" is well aware of all these loopholes, knows attorneys who abuse them to unheard of levels and that it continues to look the other way. On top of this, Utah's elected politicians including Governor Gary Herbert, Lieutenant Governor and Governor Elect Spencer Cox, Utah Attorney General Sean Reyes, other elected officials, appointed officials (judges), the Utah offices of the FBI, the FTC, the US Attorney's Office, the Utah Association of Realtors, Senator Mitt Romney, Senator Mike Lee, the Utah Judicial Conduct Commission, the Utah Judiciary and even other past and present prominent leaders including one who was a Justice on "The Utah Supreme Court" for four years and others have also demonstrated in no uncertain way that these deceptions will continue to be allowed. Perhaps this is because once this is exposed the State of Utah is likely to be on the hook for untold fortunes in damages and losses to hundreds of thousands of Utah victims (and their surviving children and families over the past several decades? (It has to do with the State of Utah simultaneously creating and breaking a critical fiduciary duty to the State's citizens.)
As these loopholes continue to be exposed, in addition to the integrity of all of the State of Utah's political, legal, municipal, educational and media offices being compromised by perpetuating the lie of "The Utah State Bar" the integrity of the University of Utah's SJ Quinney College of Law as well as BYU's J Rueben Clark Law School has also been compromised. For their critical actions in perpetuating this deception for so many years, it seems these "law schools" should be shuttered for a period of time until solutions (and there are many) are implemented. Perhaps five years ought to be long enough? Even worse, the integrity of "Utah Law" has been further compromised by Utah being the first state to waive the (now token) "Bar Exam" for attorneys.
Because all of Utah's political, legal, municipal, educational and media offices are controlled by certain culturally-influential but clearly ecclesiastically-bankrupt members of the "Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints" perhaps the President of the United States (whoever that is) should implement the Federal Insurrection Act of 1807 and immediately occupy Utah until solutions to this insidious corruption can be implemented free of individually shameful members of one collectively proud organization?
In 1933 a peculiar component of Mormonism openly endorsed early Nazism. Perhaps what we have seen with "Utah Law Fraud" over the past several decades has more to do with that endorsement of that shameful component than we dare imagine? (1)(2)(3)(4)(5)(6)(7)
If you're wondering how all this is possible remember "A lie told long enough becomes the truth" and in Utah, millions of people have collectively been told these lies for decades. If you are a victim of any of these deceptive hounds-of-hell, know that just by staying alive you are beating the devil at his own game. Remember, no matter how prominent they are or what their religious affiliation may seem to be, crooked politicians, leaders, attorneys and judges will do anything to provoke a reaction out of you so that they can use that to condemn you (or throw you in jail and permanently silence you). So be smart as you individually and collectively look for your own ways to raise awareness about this. If you have an experience to share about a crooked Utah attorney, judge, mediator, custody evaluator, peculiar case or cases you can do so by creating a post at this reddit link. Use the search box at the top to search for the crooked person's name to see if a thread has already been started under their name. If you are suffering, here are some additional resources to help the moment pass. Like other links already shared, these have also been suggested by other victims over the past 3.5 years. *The list of 32 other jurisdictions this is happening in affecting more than 200 million innocent Americans can be found in this wikipedia listing (scroll down about halfway to "Mandatory, integrated or unified bar associations" and you'll see the list of other states in that paragraph). ***"They tried to bury us but they didn't know we were seeds."***
As we wrap up 2020, I like to look back on this year's community pennystock picks as a fun retrospective. I encourage anyone to comment and share their experiences as well! I'm a big believer that going back and looking at historical trades as a method to continue to evolve as a trader. Things like price action, conviction, research and entry/exit points are all critical in becoming a better stock trader. This post ended up being a lot longer than I anticipated, and there are a few more stocks I wanted to include here that won't fit into my original post. So I'll probably follow up this post with a comment below with a few more pennystocks that were hype on this sub that I bought and learned from. This post will follow the following format:
Ticker:
When did you buy in:
Why did you buy in:
Entry share price:
Exit share price:
Catalyst for growth:
Outcome:
Lesson learned:
Here are a few of the rides I was on in 2020:
Ticker: DECN
When did you buy in: Apr 20
Why did you buy in: I saw the price action on DECN and it looked like the price had found a floor at 0.18 on a pullback. There was still pending news on the release of some test results, and rumours of a COVID test kit. This was the first pennystock I purchased ever, and it was a HUGE learning experience.
Entry share price: 0.18
Exit share price: 0.35
Catalyst for growth: Speculating on at home COVID test kit.
Outcome: Well, I think everyone knows how this went. The stock spiked to 0.48 on Apr 23 before falling off a cliff. Trading was halted, and stabilized at 0.35 before crashing again. Then by the end of the day, the SEC showed up and halted all trading on DECN because of potential fraud with their COVID test kit announcement. I think DECN was a trial by fire for many newcomers to this sub. I was one of the lucky few that got out early and was in pennystocks as just a casino style gambling machine, not as long term value proposition. DECN is now trading at 0.02, and i would stay as far away from it as possible.
Lesson Learned: Buy the rumour, sell the news! I think this was my first harsh introduction to OTC markets, the speed of pump and dumps, and the threat of bag holding. I'm really glad I was able to exit on the right side of this, but it made me incredibly weary of all future OTC buys, learning my lesson that the vast majority of pennystocks are garbage.
Ticker: MVIS
When did you buy in: May 5
Why did you buy in: I was trying to replicate my DECN success but this time I was chasing a pump prior to earnings call on a rumour that MVIS was going to be acquired by MSFT.
Entry share price: 1.50
Exit share price: 0.75
Catalyst for growth: Buy out by MSFT by some internet stranger here on /pennystocks
Outcome: Well, I got out very early, essentially one day after I bought because the news on the earnings report was so uninspiring that I thought the stock was dead. Well, we all know what happened afterwards!
Lesson learned: This one is funny, because it taught me about when to bag hold and when to not bag hold. But this is the tricky part. On May 8, after the earnings report, MVIS fell from 1.50 to 0.60 before recovering and stabilizing to 0.90. This taught me the big threat of "weak hands" as well as pennystock price volatility. I saw my initial investment lose 65% of value within minutes, and it scared me to sell off. If I just had been more convicted on the company, I would have broken even within 4 weeks, and actually doubled my initial investment within 8 weeks. This taught me a big thing about buying rumour and selling news, but also more importantly about a company with a real product. MVIS was actually making hardware for advanced computer vision, and sure they were in hard shape, but they actually had a product that was bringing in revenue. They weren't an OTC, and seemed legit. Obviously, hindsight is 20/20, but this taught me two big things: 1. Don't chase a pumping stock prior to earnings. If you are, set stop losses and less right before the earnings report. 2. Decide whether you're swing trading for a quick gain or investing for longer term. The two are incompatible in my opinion, because with swing trading you'll set aggressive stop losses and be happy with gains vs time. Investing is much more about maximizing the percentage gain on a holding with conviction.
Ticker: TLSS
When did you buy in: May 11
Why did you buy in: Posts on this sub about debt consolidation and a new CEO that turned around Coach USA from a $100M company to a $1B company.
Entry share price: 0.02
Exit share price: 0.08
Catalyst for growth: Pure speculation and pump.
Outcome: Wow, this was a ride. This was the first time I remember opening up my account and seeing a 10x return. TLSS had hit 0.20 on the morning of May 27 and it had stabilized there for 3 days! I didn't sell because I thought this was the start of something big. Ya...it was the start of a big mistake! TLSS cratered after that, falling all the way down to 0.05 and then slowly bleeding out over the next 5 months.
Lesson learned: When you see a 10x return on an OTC pennystock, be wary of why the stock went up. If it doesn't have good legs behind why the stock is all of a sudden worth 10x its valuation, then take your profits and run!
Ticker: SPI
When did you buy in: May 26
Why did you buy in: I saw some random pump on stocktwits about this stock and it looked stable with a floor.
Entry share price: 0.75
Exit share price: 0.96
Catalyst for growth: No catalyst, was just using random internet stranger advice.
Outcome: I was initially happy with my 30% gains!
Lesson learned: Well, SPI is trading at $8 right now after they announced they're buying Phoenix Motor Cars. But back in May, when bought SPI, they looked like a super shady shell company. Their website looked like it was made in 2012. It had information about solar panels and weed growing ops. They were head quartered out of Hong Kong. They put out almost no news. This didn't seem like a legit company, but I thought I could flip them for a quick 20% gain with minimal time and effort. If I had known they were a more compelling operation, I would have held long term. I don't think there's a lesson here. SPI was a lottery ticket, and I think people who were holding got lucky.
Ticker: OZSC
When did you buy in: May 28
Why did you buy in: There were good posts on this sub about a potential merger, increased revenue streams, a big government contract and good new management.
Entry share price: 0.025
Exit share price: 0.0405
Catalyst for growth: Speculation on some potential government deals.
Outcome: I went in thinking this is a pump and dump, and I had learned my lesson after DECN. As a result, I was getting out with 100% gains and not looking back. I think anyone who is still holding OZSC knows that this was a lot of smoke and mirrors. People tried to chase this and got burned.
Lesson learned: When it comes to buying OTC, always be incredibly wary. For every ALPP, there are hundreds of OZSC and DECN.
Ticker: XSPA
When did you buy in: June 9
Why did you buy in: There was so much hyper and momentum on this sub about how XSPA was going to open up in New Jersey airport, then every other airport. And that they were set up to take over the entire COVID testing apparatus!
Entry share price: 2.1
Exit share price: 2.7....but after a 3-for-1 reverse split...so actually 0.9
Catalyst for growth: Rumours of XSPA being the
Outcome: Well, this is the biggest turd of all my investments. So many people were able to play XSPA back in early June for huge gains. I thought I could ride the lightning on a second wave of good luck! But this thing was stupid, and I ended up costing me dearly.
Lesson learned: Don't believe the hype on stocks that are too good to be true. Think about macro factors. XSPA slowly bled out, and I got out after realizing that there was no hope for recovery. I sold at a 50% loss and redeployed my remaining funds to recover my losses. I hate this stock and everything it stands for.
Ticker: IDEX
When did you buy in: Jun 10
Why did you buy in: Lots of rumours of them releasing an electric car fleet in China! Also, claims that people had personal conversations with the CEO Alf Poor and how he was the real deal! But mostly because IDEX had found an amazing price floor at 1.10 and had been trading sideways for weeks on end at that price. I know people in this sub were incredibly wary of a stock that was manipulated so perfectly, to always trade within 2% of its price floor, but I saw it more as a way to ensure a floor.
Entry share price: 1.11
Exit share price: 1.60
Catalyst for growth: IDEX blew up based on pictures they released of a potential show floor for their electric car environment in China.
Outcome: Well, I think after DECN and maybe GNUS, IDEX may have the most bag holders of any stock in this sub.
Lesson learned: Be wary of any stocks dealing with business in China. I remember watching IDEX go up to 3.20 and I regretted selling so soon! I wish I had just held and squeezed more out of that stock. But then I watched IDEX crap itself down the toilet over the next 3 days, falling all the way back down to 0.92 based on the Citron release that indicated that IDEX was a sham company.
Ticker: CLIS
When did you buy in: Jun 18
Why did you buy in: The launch of their app was supposed to revolution online gambling and with DKNG and PENN pumping, they could see some real sympathy. Also, their stock pumped to 0.20 just based on hype of their app. Imagine the share price when the app actually releases!
Entry share price: 0.24, then DCA'd down to 0.07
Exit share price: 0.02
Catalyst for growth: The release of their app
Outcome: Well, their app sucked and their stock sucks.
Lesson learned: Do not chase pumps. This stock is by single biggest loser, as I ended up losing about 80% on this turd. The lucky part is that I didn't go in hard, as I didn't fundamentally believe in the product. But its still a big shot to the ego getting wrapped up in the hype. I hate CLIS, and this stock has made me incredibly wary of OTC. I think CLIS (and OZSC) is a big reason why I was so hesitant of following ALPP despite all the hype and good news.
Ticker: CLSK
When did you buy in: June 26
Why did you buy in: Rumours of a Walmart partnership and a potential revenue windfall.
Entry share price: 2.28
Exit share price: 3.10
Catalyst for growth: There were rumours that CLSK's microgrid controller was going to be used at every Walmart ever. There were faux emails floating around on this sub from someone who claims they spoke to CLSK IR and got the inside scoop, but this was followed up with other members of this sub emailing CLSK IR to verify and CLSK ended up denying the rumours. The stock pumped to 3.50 before falling back down, stabilizing then going on a huge 10x rally over the next 4 months.
Outcome: CLSK is currently trading at $29 on the strength of their expanded product portfolio and great PR. They have lots of international customers that are using their microgrid controller, and they recently used their share offering to purchase a bitcoin mining operation that is helping them generate an additional $7M a year in revenue.
Lesson learned: When you find a company that has a legitimate product, with real leadership, have some conviction and hold the stock for more than just a 20% flip. I could have been up 10x but instead I settled for a quick 40% flip because I was scared of bag holding.
Rough Night at the Running Bear Casino (PAGE 2 of 2)
**** * **** Hussein nudged his brother Iqbal and aimed his chin toward the bar. “Look, a fat, stupid American has finally managed some success.” Iqbal smirked, “It is the only way the infidels can succeed. They have no education and no skills to do anything useful. They don’t even worship their own God anymore, only money and fame. They will soon learn better…” The brothers were out enjoying a night of revelry, with a few more planned when they reached the city. The celebrations were a last reward before they fulfilled their mission and achieved True Paradise through martyrdom. Hussein was superstitious and hoped to find success at gambling before they took the great risk that if successful, would help to sustain their cause. They’d grown up in this land of debauchery and foolishness but had been taught from the first to honor their own Beliefs and culture above anything the Americans professed. Hussein was on roll number five of what he intended to be a short run. He wished to win five times for the Five Pillars of Islam, the name of his cell in the latest great Jihad. He blew on the dice and tossed. The small cubes bounced against the back side of the pit and tumbled end over end as he watched breathlessly. “Another ten!” the barker called. And pushed the winnings toward Hussein. He placed a minimum bet and rolled once more. He had already left the table before the barker called, “Snakeyes! Next roller please.” He held up his chips triumphantly, “Iqbal, more money from roll number five! I kept the bet in place for five rolls, I left only the minimum for the last roll, it is a Sign! We are fated to succeed. We will meet the others tomorrow, go over the plan, and then have a few last nights to revel in this world…” Iqbal patted his brother on the shoulder, “There is something I would like more than winning chips. He nodded toward the bar and the attractive and sinuous young local who worked behind it, steadily polishing glasses. Hussein watched for a moment, unsure whether his brother meant the alcoholic drinks that had been forbidden until now or the woman. Knowing Iqbal, he assumed both. “As you wish brother. Take your mortal enjoyments while you can. She looks a little sullen though, frown, lowered brows, I like the happy ones.” Iqbal’s serpent-like smile widened, “She will look better when I have freed her from the miseries of the uncircumcised. She will enjoy a real man. Who knows? Maybe I will convert her so that we can meet again in Paradise.” With that, he surged away from his brother and slithered up to the bar opposite the young First Nations maid. “Good evening, I noticed that you do not have many customers at the bar. It seems odd that so beautiful a creature as yourself would not attract more company.” The woman ignored him, intently focused on her task. He tried again, “Perhaps I must order a drink to remain at the bar? If so, a gin and tonic if you please.” She continued to polish the glass. He leaned forward, “Did you hear me?” he inquired in an annoyed tone. “Perhaps you have no business because you are surly and unhelpful.” She looked at him and delivered a smirk that appeared to be far more evil than anything he could ever hope to muster, despite his thin, reptilian lips and predatory mind, “We don’t want customers to linger at the bar, getting drunk and building from misery to anger over their losses. We want them playing… and losing.” She leaned toward him and glared into his own eyes that he normally considered flinty and daunting. “You know about losing, don’t you?” Hussein noted that the large man at the end of the bar in the “Security” shirt had begun stumping toward them. “Iqbal, perhaps it is time to go look for other entertainment.” Iqbal ignored him, he was trapped in the serpent’s gaze, like a mouse dropped into a snake’s tank to be devoured while its owner watched with perverse interest. Hussein reached for his brother to tug at his arm but never got the chance. The big security officer seized his hand, drew it to his too wide chest and turned. The weight of the man drew him away from his brother and caused him to spin around so that he ended up facing the goon with his brother beyond the man and in the clutches of the Serpent Woman. The ham-fisted gargantuan continued to twist the hand he gripped until the pressure caused Hussein sever pain. He grunted and bent into the angle of his wrist to relieve the distress. He found himself bent forward and looking up desperately toward the man’s face. The security staffer smiled, his square, blunt teeth showing dark behind an almost lipless mouth. His wide back and chest, covered in body armor under his shirt made him appear like a monster-sized… Turtle. Hussein felt himself lifted and placed behind the bar. His brother soon slithered over the top and fell to the floor beside him, smiling beatifically. Hussein opened his mouth to scream for help, but a large, blunt fist crashed into the side of his head and he saw stars… seven of them, like the Holy... The fist descended once more, and he saw only darkness. **** * **** Fr. Danilo Bayani was immensely enjoying his latest trip to the continental USA. He had visited Hawaii many years ago, and New York City more recently, but this was his first tour of the grand landbound spaces that this country offered. He’d managed to roam so far from his origins in Manila. Now, in his twilight years, he longed to see what he could of God’s Green Earth. All on the payroll of The Vatican while they cleanse the records of those hateful… allegations. The bitter thoughts raced across his mind. Of course he was a sinner, he was only mortal. He’d been expiated of those sins and had paid an enormous price to continue serving in his capacity as a parish priest. He forced his mind to return to the moment and more enjoyable pursuits. He noted the hirsute and similar appearing pair of men who had gone to the bar and wondered why the Security officer approached them, but his attention was called once more to the round of Texas Hold’em and his table mates. When he again had a moment to look, no one was at the bar, in front or behind… curious, he thought, but he quickly refocused his attention on the fascinating new game he was in the process of learning. He was familiar with Poker, so it wasn’t difficult to learn. He liked the high level of interaction that this version of the old game allowed. He’d done well, certainly gained enough to fund extracurricular activities during the rest of his current sabbatical. He’d been disturbed by the overall atmosphere of this place when he’d arrived. He did not care for the numerous paintings and sculptures of Ancient Native Deities and Spirits. They seemed to be mostly images of the Dark Beings of various Tribal cultures. He loved to study diverse cultures, but this place was an amalgamation of cultures, built for mutual support by several Tribes in the region. Much of the artwork was schlocky and clearly intended to cater to the garish and sordid tastes of the vapid gambling set. Some part of him did not feel… welcome, as though he had intruded on some private Place, set aside for Other Gods. He shook off the depressing musings… There areNO Other Gods, he reassured himself. He soon stepped away from the table to take care of personal needs and to decide what he should do with the rest of his night. Perhaps he would visit the White Dove Restaurant & Ballroom on the other side of the hotel lobby from the casino. It boasted a good reputation according to online reviews, even though it was a simple buffet style with a dance floor to one side. He liked the name, it was… peaceful he decided. He soon had a selection of food piled onto a plate and was seated near the dance floor. The place was sparsely occupied, so his hopes of being able to watch dancers as he ate were dashed. Still, the food was good enough. A little bland, but that was necessary in a place that acted as a crossroads of cultures. There was a spice table at the end of the primary row of entrees. He’d helped himself, yet nothing seemed to attach to his taste buds. The combination of eating nearly alone, having no one with energy around him, and the tasteless food soon had him growing restless. He finished up his repast and left the table to go out to the final section of the complex he had not visited, the River Overlook. As he passed the table nearest the entrance, he saw a stout man in a rumpled sport coat, who glared daggers at him, eyes focused on his crucifix, the only outward sign of his profession. The man appeared to be so hostile, that he paused for a moment to determine whether he’d done anything to offend the fellow. “Excuse me sir, have I offended you in some way?” The man looked startled. He was apparently unused to being confronted about his demeanor or behavior. He scowled, “Don’t like that thing you have around your neck. You Catholics are all Hell-bound. No concept of righteousness. Not that you’d understand, you people don’t even read The Book. You listen to your priests and pope and disregard The Word. All the kneeling and ritual prayers in the world won’t save you in the end. Go back to your idols and beads and leave me alone to seek Heaven.” Fr. Bayani was startled by the vehemence with which the man spoke. He hadn’t been attacked directly for his Faith in years. “Sir, I’m not sure what Religion you practice, but I am a man of God, a consecrated priest of the Holy Church. I assure you that I understand more than most, if not as much as I would like. I meant no harm and wish you a peaceful night.” With that, he started to walk past the man, but the man rose from his table and pointed his finger, “Your pope is the Anti-Christ, and your Church is a place of Satan! Look to the Bible for your salvation before it’s too late.” Fr. Bayani increased his pace and continued on his journey to the River Overlook. He would need the peace and tranquility that nature and the sound of flowing water would provide to settle his roiling mind. **** * **** Pastor Bill resumed his seat and shook his head, “Fool, doesn’t know that he’s risking his soul, courting Damnation.” He’d had a bad run at the tables over at the casino. His Denomination frowned on games of chance, but he had needed the money. One of his congregation had come up pregnant and they had to get it resolved before the three-month deadline for abortions. He knew that if his wife found out about Carmen, then she would divorce him. He was here to break every major rule that he professed to hold dear each week. His plan for quick money had failed, so he’d visited the bar. Now he hoped that eating would guide him back to sobriety. He had to think of another plan. Seeing that… priest had annoyed him. Had he not been inebriated, he would never have said what he did, nor stared so rudely in the first place. Yet he wanted someone on whom to vent the anger he felt, that arose from fear and he’d always disliked the papists. If his wife divorced him, if the scandal involving the woman who cleaned the church all week and then occupied the back pew every Sunday ever broke; he would lose his ministry, his livelihood. His degree in Theology would be worthless. He might be able to get a job teaching, at some secular school, but most would not hire fervent Christians like himself. He stared dejectedly at his plate of food that had contained more spice and flavors than he liked, a shadow passed in his periphery. It was low-slung and blurred just a bit as it loped along the wall. He thought he heard an odd laugh, somewhere between human and… canine? Maybe a little like a hyena might sound, or so he imagined. There was a manic quality to the laughter. A jest that was on him so that only the other Entity knew what it was. It was the wicked laughter of children at play, who’d decided to target a fat kid with glasses.A kid whose parents had been abusive addicts but who later “got right” through religious-based recovery programs.Their faith had led him to his own, but he’d never really lost those early traumas of being unaccepted by his peers and being beaten by people who later professed faith above all. A mocking whine, definitely doggish, his now sobering consciousness informed him. Something was making fun of him, teasing him from the shadows. He looked around for staff members or other customers but found himself alone. The dining area and the dance floor were deserted. It was odd, there was almost always someone at the buffet service tables. He looked over to the kitchen doors in hopes that one of the employees would burst through with a fresh serving of chicken wings or whatever tray had been emptied. He saw dark figures move past the clouded round windows on the swinging doors and temporarily occlude the bright kitchen lights within, but they were indistinct blobs, and appeared to be focused on tasks of their own choosing rather than service of his needs. He stood and realized that he was more intoxicated than he’d realized. He immediately resumed his seat and bent forward to regain his balance and bearings… and to swallow his rising gorge. When he sat up again, a dark, shaggy form perched in the chair across from him. The figure was no more than a silhouette, a raggedly hewn shadow. Yet there were eyes. Sinister golden gleams appeared and blinked at him. He heard a heavy, panting sort of breathing and a gust of foul-smelling carnivore breath assaulted his olfactory senses. “Who? Er, what are you doing at my table?” he asked in a mushy, confused manner. Still fighting off waves of nausea. He could not see it very well in the poorly illuminated dining room, but his impression was that the... Being… smiled at him: a gaping, lolling smile, with a tongue dangling out to one side and sharp canines gleaming. “I thought I would check on you my righteous friend. You seem to be upset, unhappy. You nipped and barked at that other person who shares your Faith. I thought perhaps there was a deeper concern preying on your conscience?” Pastor Bill had to force himself to think through what this… person? Had said to him. Likely some hippie-dippy weirdo. “That guy was a Catholic priest, we’re nowhere near the same Religion.” Once more he heard the chortling laughter that was now very clear, “I’m sure you think it’s different. Those of his specific religion, came to these lands many years ago. They were the first of you Christians to arrive. The rest have been simple variations on a theme. The problems began, when your co-religionists assumed that only your God exists; that all of the local Gods and Spirits were instead Demons and Dark Powers. Instead of trying to show that yours is a better Way, you Christians insisted that yours is the only Way. You’ve forgotten that in Ancient Times, people held True to Deities who were attached to local communities or to the land and features around them; geographically and ethnically relevant. You have gone from subsuming and incorporating Older Gods as Angels and Saints, to Demonizing Them, and now in your hubris, to denying Them altogether.” He shook His head. “Too bad really, it creates an Adversarial relationship.” He chuckled at some joke that Pastor Bill was still too drunk to comprehend. Pastor Bill had grown increasingly fearful as the Voice intoned Its Philosophies. He wanted to refute that Voice, to deny Its very Existence. Yet he feared Its Wrath more than anything he’d ever feared, even the Fires of Hell. Instead of making a stand and arguing his faith, he staggered to his feet and ran, stumbled, blindly toward the kitchen and the pale, ghostly figures within. Surely someone within would save him! The sardonic laughter chortled after him and chased him into the too bright lights, descending into the yips and howls of Coyote even as the doors swung shut behind him. He looked around at the glowing white figures who halted in their various progresses to stare at him. Their eyes! There were none, just empty sockets, faces slack, with gaping, lamprey maws. He heard a new sound as they swarmed him… his own forlorn screams of ultimate agony. **** * **** Fr. Bayani stood out on the River Overlook platform and enjoyed the solitude that had so recently left him restless. There were plenty of noises out across the flowing torrent: the water itself, as it passed over hidden objects, fish as they leapt from its embrace to kiss the night air, frogs and insects, and the warbling, mournful sounds of a loon, and the soft sigh of the wind as it passed through the verdant landscape. This is much more peaceful than the White Dove he thought. He had some trouble shaking off ruminations on the verbal assault from the strange, possibly drunken man in the restaurant. He decided that he would pray for the man, that he would one day soon find The True Faith. Sometimes that was all one could do for the short-sighted. He heard a deep, coughing hiss out in the dark. He was startled but quickly realized that it was an American Alligator, cousin to creatures he had observed in many places around the planet. He was truly content, at one with Nature in all Her Glory… in all the natural splendor of Creation! he immediately corrected himself. A sound impinged on his senses as it slowly rose and obscured the others… it was a lapping sound at first, more like ocean waves on a beach than the banks of a river. Waves, at cross purposes to the flow of the river, slapped at the base of the platform. Soon they sounds evolved into splashes, as if something very large approached the River Overlook platform. He leaned over the rail to have a closer look. Perhaps it was a large water creature or a boat… maybe a ‘gator as the locals called the big reptiles. He peered down at the dim rippling surface below. At first, he was unable to discern anything but small reflections on the water as it swirled and lapped; then from below the surface, he spotted an eye, a too large eye! It glowed from within with a sickly luminescence akin to that produced by deep growing fungi. As he stared in horror, he saw a mouth gape below the eye, and enormous frog-like opening with no teeth but serrated lips, like some monstrous catfish. As he stared, too much in shock to act, he suddenly felt his body wrapped in strong, leprous flesh and he quickly lost his ability to breathe. The last sight he saw before he plunged over the safety rail was the thin, grey, first light of dawn. **** * **** Chief Harry Whitehorse gazed around at his fellow chiefs and Shamans from various local Tribes, “So, are The Dark Ones satisfied once again? Have They sated their appetites on strangers so that our peoples will be safe for another year?” Affirmative rumbles muttered around the conference room. Red Wolf, a Shaman, spoke from near the back row, “They are not only satisfied but Coyote assures us that the prey people will not be linked with our premises or business operations.” Most of the fresh mutters sounded pleased, but old Harry had to ask, “Can we trust Him?” Chortling laughter sounded throughout the conference room and ascended into thunderous yips and howls of hysterical glee.
Questions Regarding Remainder of Online Blackjack Quest
Hello, and happy holidays to you all. Thanks for your time in reading/responding to this thread. To start, I enjoy playing very much. My first blackjack session ever @ the Borgata many years ago started with $100 @ $10 min, playing full tables and some 1v1. My spread was 10 dollar, and 20 dollar, and I played for 6 hours straight and cashed out $600. I would've kept going for probably another 6-10 hours, if my dad didn't pull me off the table because it was time to go back home. That was my mid 20s, I turned 31 in September. I investigating counting a little years back, learning hi lo +1 0 -1 level I count, but never pursued it to this degree presently, and definitely what I knew back then was basically the equivalent of nil. Any money I wagered back then was purely gambling and I think I was getting high on it, even losing money all the time the uncertainty effect gets produced regardless of outcome. I've been teaching myself computer science since COVID hit in march; I've basically been on a year long vacation, long overdue. I worked for 7 years straight without one for various companies after graduating from college in 2012 with degree in Psych. So, I started with SQL, which unlocked mental barriers to understanding computer science, programming theory, and its applications. Then I taught myself Python syntax. Last, its application I chose is data science, which makes sense because my job history is in database administration, I get off on calculating numbers and doing statistical analyses, and lastly, my educational background is in human behavior. Data science encompasses all those areas and its a trip bros! I'm very excited to pursue this because my whole life, I never had a career choice and as a result goal. I will earn more money with my career in computers and data than playing cards. That being said, what remains is an $880 chip stack on my newvegas online account, and an additional 12 weeks of time to myself before re-entering the job world Spring. I would say, up until this very moment, I never fully understood probability, wagering, EV, or gambling in general, and it's only what I've learned about computer science, programming, and statistics that reversed that misunderstanding. Here's another thanks to this resource and to your responses/time. Before moving forward, some additional points to keep in mind, just so that answers to my questions can be direct :-), hoping to save everyone time: The rules: 8 deck shoe cut in half dead center. $10 -$100 max. 7 seats. DAS. Dealer stay on soft 17. Oh yeah, and beautiful West Russian dealers (the girls obviously, I am male ty). The goal: According to Colin on BJapprenticeship.com, a $5,000 bankroll for Blackjack offers a 1.00 % risk of ruin playing @ $10.00 game. I interpret this to mean, with a 5k bankroll, a player can enjoy the game only worrying about losing all his bankroll 1% of the time. Correct me if I'm wrong there. So, if on the off chance I do not lose, and grind all the way up to at least $5,000, my goal of investing my time and mental energy to playing on this Online Table is to earn 5k in winnings, and then move on to using those funds on Live Real Table Quest (I am in NYC, USA). In my opinion this is a very modest expectation, and it would be hard but it is not impossible. And I really enjoy playing blackjack and especially counting as accurately as I do now so, it is not a waste of time. But that is the goal and it is clear. The rollover: I bought my chip stack online 12/23. The rollover requirement is 18025 points, but if you make it, get to keep the entire thing whatever it is. Based on the numbers, if I did it right, if I managed to get to 5k, I'll have gotten enough points, or at least close to. And with 5k meeting the requirement at that point would be easy and very fun. Right now because I'm at the start it's an enjoyable grind with a large chance of busting. After 11 hours of play, I've accumulated ~ 1k points, having played 584 hands, yielding a 48.6% win rate, including push. So it's probably closer to where I'm at on the app having played ~ 20k hands, 43%. Assumptions: 1.) The odds are strongly against me. 2.) I'm probably gonna lose. 3. ) Although the rules are poor, the game is fair (the shuffles, the dealers, etc.). 4.) This is, definitively, my last attempt at fulfilling this venture. The reason is not to get rich, or to win big, or to become an overnight millionaire, none of that illusory, delusional bullshit. I like playing; I think I've gathered enough ammo in my Arsenal to try and beat this particular instance of Blackjack (the rules, online, etc) with a modest win. However, I most certainly do not expect to, and will not make any further attempts to again. Why? There's no point haha. Just see above (for myself if I need reminding). 5.) There's no rush. I'm willing to just min bet all the way to 5k, however long it takes, but the advantage does change sometimes so, get to that. But yeah there's no rush and I'm trying to properly schedule my playing time so that a.) it doesn't interfere with more important shit and b.) if I end up losing, won't lose sleep over it. Loss Streaks In the 12 hours half a day I logged so far, there were 9 sessions played, averaging 90 minutes per session. Of those 9, especially in the beginning, the House would be getting these Win streaks of minimum 4 sometimes 5, all the way up to a maximum of 12, with one possibly 2 wins for the player in that haystack. So check this out for example in my first session, the first deck or so was playable (even W/L ratio), but then look at this pattern: 'L-L-L-L-W-L-L-L-L-L'. If I was just betting 10 on each hand there, that's 100 gone pretty quickly, without being able to do anything about it. I remember the types of hands these are too; little ones (2-6) that successfully draw to hi hands and do not bust, the 3 card especially. Also, according to my notes, most of the time the true counts in these shoes are bad (negative). In the above example, that one needle Win has to have a wide enough spread to least account for half of the losses in this streak. Or, do I just continue to bet against the true edge, ALWAYS, regardless of how much money I'm losing, and not bet more to chase the annoying streak of loss? Betting the edge The streaks I mentioned above, as far as I'm concerned, are the norm moving forward. I don't mind; not complaining, in fact, I enjoy the challenge. I've embraced Buddhist philosophy recently, and the journey is what matters. I would not be investing additional time into this venture if I would not enjoy the ride, win or lose. But because of this level of difficulty, added to the fact that the edge rarely goes beyond 1% in either direction, I came to the conclusion that I should be betting minimum probably almost all the time, and throwing in my 'raises' if you will maybe only 2-3 times per shoe. What's happening is, check this example out in session 7. This one lasted 2.5 hours, and the notes are pretty bad, sounds like I was having a lousy time. It says that I was in a streak during the first 2 decks, this one: 'L-L-L-L-L-L-W-L' and then it picked up. TC in this series was +1, it was either a little one drawing to 20, or a 20 in the hole each time. I had already lost half my stack at that point because I was betting double each hand and losing, trying to get it back; but those increased bets were far greater than should have been given the TC is only +1. I had 300 left, bet 125, caught 11 vs 5, and doubled. It was scary, but it held. Now the thing is, did it have to be scary? The same things would've happened if the bet was lower, closer to what the edge actually was instead of a gross over bet, and would that thus reduce the risk of ruin in that instance considerably? If so, I should just sit back and not worry so much about the dollar value of these bets because at the end of the day, it's just a chip stack because of the wagering requirement anyway. For example, is it better in that series, losing, during a TC of +1, to just keep the bets at you know, 1-2 units on top for your raise? Let's say by some miracle, the TC went up to +3.5. Would my 125 then actually be warranted? Like let's say I get home later, take care of my shit, and fire up a 2-3 hour session. Lets say the first 3 decks I play are loss series like above, but the TC is +.5 - +1. Let's say my 2 unit raise is 25, and my 3 unit raise is 50. Is it more appropriate to play 25s and 50s, even if I lose 6 of them in a row before winning one, than to martingale the entire stack to break even? It's really, how to navigate through loss streaks to get to the win streaks, and losing absolute minimum doing so? Scheduling 24 hours in a day. Food/exercise/hygeine in the morning = 2 hours Work = 4 hours Lunch = 1 hour Work = 4 hours Dinner = 1 hour Free time = 6 hours Sleep = 8 hours Pleasure is as important as abstinence. Balance MUST be achieved to live comfortably, with purpose, in my opinion. The simplest solution is creating a daily schedule and adhering to it, ALWAYS. My way didn't and doesn't work, the hedonistic way, twanging the vagus nerve at the sacrifice of everything else. So, before I sit down again, I want to have a clear schedule carved out. This ensures that, if I lose my money because of bad luck, or a mistake, I won't lose sleep over it. The blackjack playing will happen at the very end of the day, the 2nd to last activity before sleep, the last activity being reading of miscellaneous materials of interest. That leaves me with 6 hours of time that I can spend doing whatever I want, without having to worry about it. I'll have consumed 3,000 calories, consumed new knowledge, and be able to play at max capacity. What is the strongest approach? To play time? To play a number of shoes? To play a number of hands? This answer should not be based on a numerical value, because there is no rush, and there is time allocated to not go bust, which comes down to extremely bad luck possibly but more making a mistake, in betting especially. Also, what about stop limits? Perhaps play to a certain win limit, or a loss limit? I don't need to necessarily lose everything at once, do I? Because there's no rush, my bills are paid, im feeding myself, and I'm playing this 'money' as a chip stack and until I reach 5,000 they are only chips. Without any chips, I can't play online ever again. That should be everything, these are really the only issues I'm experiencing in this particular game. THANK YOU FOR READING! Merry Christmas and Happy New Year, to 2021!
RKS USA is a company based in Florida that sells a lot of HK things. There is nowhere online to review them, so I want to put this here, and hope people see it: Back in September(ish) I bought (or attempted to buy) a Hensoldt G36 3x Optic Carry Handle. I go to their website, it says "In Stock" and I click buy. Ouch my wallet. After a couple of weeks, I receive no updates, and email them to find out what's going on. Their response was " By you order number I estimate will be ready to ship maybe at the end of the next week, and "may be" because it we depend of how much orders we are able to process to reduce the delays. " Okay, sounds fair, I'll wait. I email them again 2 weeks later to ask if we're still on track. This time I get " you should expect the shipping about the end of the next week. " I email them again at the end of the next week and they responded with "There are delays with the inbound orders ". I asked them why it was marked as in-stock if it was on order. They responded with (paraphrased) "we don't know where it is either, it was due to be received at our warehouse". No further clarification was offered. Please beware, I know HK and G36 stuff is hard to get, but at least gamble somewhere less deceptive.
Alright autists, do you like watching people kick goals or would like to also kick goals financially or in general succeed in any sort of aspect in your life at all? Let me introduce you to SHO, which you should definitely invest into fo' sho'. I should be publicly executed for that shit joke tbh. Here are the details: Name: SportsHero Share Price: 0.032c Market Cap: ~$13 million CEO is a top 10 shareholder, with the top 20 holding 58% of shares.
Next multi bagger (Do you like money?)
Sports prediction/news/content/streaming/gamification app, very scalable, includes web platform and is cloud based.
Focus is Olahbola app in Indonesia which launched in July and has generated 1 million users at October, with 500000 within the first 60 days. This isn't your fake MLM EM1 registrations either - these are real users. They are aiming to reach 1.5 million users by December.
Exclusive multi-year partnership with Indonesian Football Federation.
Exclusive sponsorship rights in Indonesia with LaLiga, Spain's top football league.
USA market is valued due to its high population and economy, but Indonesia has the fourth highest population after USA's third with rapidly increasing digital uptake in Indonesia.
$9 million invested in R&D, so even if they continue to make 0 revenue, they can't drop much lower due to the value of technology - sky is the limit, despite this being a super autistic train of thought haha.
Valued very low because they are yet to generate revenue, with the last quarterly reporting $0 but have an actual pipeline in place and are set to generate revenue in this quarter in December 2020, capitalising on their rapidly growing userbase.
The share price used to be a lot higher because they were using their less developed product in much more saturated markets where gambling was also already legalised, allowing them a lot less engagement. I class this Indonesia development as almost an entirely new business.
Brand collaboration with Nivea and Tokopedia - which is Indonesia's largest e-commerce platform, basically their Amazon.
3 year revenue generating deal with MolaTV, which is basically Indonesia's Foxtel/TV network/Netflix which includes live sports.
Very very cheap valuation compared to any of its peers.
And that's not even including the following speculative juicy future potential prospects and catalysts:
Their platform is white-label, meaning it can be expanded to any other languages or sports, or other companies looking to make their own version of the platform, meaning they could start receiving SaaS revenue streams.
In 2012, Indonesia made changes to legislation in order to outlaw online gambling because of so much money being spent betting on the Euro 2012 football championship. Regardless, a report by PWC purports that the gambling industry in Asia will grow to $80 billion over the next few years, but cultural and religious barriers need to be overcome. The market is definitely there for it in Indonesia, but if SportsHero can soft loophole this or secure a licence if legislation changes, they would be very well positioned to take advantage of it. They already seem to be approaching skirting around the edges of this with users being able to compete in competitions to win prizes and participate in giveaways.
Financial position:
Just completed ~$1.4mil heavily oversubscribed placement, with an instituional investor subscribing for an additional $450,000.

Happy to discuss any feedback on this DD or any information that might be wrong. As they say, GLTAH (Good Luck Thick Ass Hoes)
32 US States secretly allow shill corporations to provide the illusion of "State" supervision for thousands of attorneys. Modern-day financial genocide upon innocent victims with high rates of lucrative suicide is the result. Time for the U.S. President to enact the "Insurrection Act of 1807".
***TL:DR: "A lie told long enough becomes the truth." -Joseph Goebbels, Nazi Minister of Propaganda (1)(2)(3)*** ***Summary: In Utah, there are 6,500 State licensed attorneys. Many of them are secretly allowed to be murderous, self-serving, narcissistic sociopaths. That may sound unbelievable but this is TRUE because complaints about Utah attorneys are secretly handled by a deceptive private corporation that is also secretly funded by the attorneys. It is an incredulous, closed-loop-cycle of insidious deception that has been secretly perpetuated by Utah attorneys, attorneys who become judges, Utah law schools, professors and Utah politicians for decades. Because of this, thousands of Utah attorneys can secretly target innocent people from all walks of life for many, many years and quietly collect a fortune from everyone. There are more than a dozen secret ways Utah attorneys do this. Even though there are thousands of victims every year, Utah's politicians, Utah's courts and Utah's locally represented Federal offices of the FBI, the FTC and the US Attorney continue to ignore reports revealing it. At all levels, they will continue to look the other way because once it is exposed, the State of Utah will be on the hook for immeasurable fortunes in loss of life and damages to thousands upon thousands of Utah victims over the past several decades. If proper solutions are not implemented, acknowledging it could literally bankrupt the State of Utah (even with it's billions in hidden taxpayer dollars). Although the corruption in Utah is the most rampant for many reasons, 32 other US jurisdictions also secretly have shill "State Bar Associations" that provide the illusion of "State" supervision for their State licensed "attorneys". If this were revealed without proper solutions in place, the financial effect on these 32 states could impact the US economy in unimaginable ways. Perhaps now you see why it is and always will be kept "secret". Many of Utah's 6,500 attorneys secretly know all this and continue to freely perpetuate it without consequence or reprimand and gain one fortune after another in the process while their innocent, targeted victims have no idea why all the destruction and molesting continues to happen to them. Because of the devastation it brings to each Utah victim's life, it is a modern day financial genocide where a targeted victim's potential suicide inevitably plays an additional, insidious, financial role for the attorneys. It's horrifying to consider that this allowed, unconscionable deception may be the reason Utah is also home to the worst rates of suicide in the Nation. If all this is alarming to you, please, read on. The wikilink of the 32 other U.S. States can be found by skipping to the end.*** "Utah Law Fraud" About five years ago, I learned that Utah, as a whole, is secretly home to the worst rates in the Nation for suicide, child abuse, financial fraud and bankruptcy (1)(2). About four years ago I learned that the State's politicians refuse to allow audit's of billions upon billions of taxpayer dollars spent (or hidden away) in incredulous ways. About three years ago I learned that Utah's politicians, judges, attorneys and law schools are desperately hiding decades of insidious law fraud (and the fortunes it generates for them). As a whole, Utah's citizens are strong, brave, trusting, giving, talented and creative people. However, the collective imagination of millions Utahans also makes them vulnerable to exploitation, corruption and fraud by morally bankrupt people (and those they control). Perhaps parts of this sometimes selective, culturally rewarding but sometimes self-destructive collective imagination is why so much has been hidden here for so long? After three and a half unpredictable years of watching and listening, in no uncertain way and with proof of everything, I can publicly share with you now that this insidious Utah law fraud began decades ago when lawmakers, who were also attorneys, for their own purposes, secretly allowed a private corporation to have a very deceptive name in providing the illusion of "State Supervision" by the "State of Utah" for Utah attorneys. Simultaneously, a second-hand consequence of this shameful deception is that there is NO official "State of Utah" department for victims of Utah's self-serving attorneys to call to for help. Today, Utah's 6,500 attorneys secretly know all of this and they are able to target innocent Utahans from all walks of life and collect one fortune after another in the process. This is all secretly, shamefully accomplished under that decades old deception, publicly perpetuated into your home, your life and your profession, by greedy cowards under the unconscionably false banner allowed to be known as "The Utah State Bar." It is critical to note that not only is "The Utah State Bar" a private corporation secretly allowed to pose as a "State Office," it is also funded by the same 6,500 Utah attorneys it provides the illusion of supervision for. This includes it's pay roll. In case you don't see the conflict of interest here this is the epitome of the phrase "the inmates are running the asylum". This is also why victim's complaints about Utah's 6,500 attorneys to "The Utah State Bar" are purposely dead-ended in an unpredictable nightmare for the victim. First, the victim who dares file a complaint against a "Utah attorney" will be ignored for several months. Eventually they will be notified that complaint was "unofficial". That means the Utah attorney was simply notified of the existence of a complaint. To make the complaint "official", the victim is told they need to get the complaint notarized then refile the complaint with a different person at "The Utah State Bar". If a victim dares do that, several more months will pass before the victim is told that the attorney was notified of the "content" of the complaint (making the complaint "official" as they term it) but that if the victim wants to pursue the complaint beyond that the victim needs to find another Utah attorney to sue the original Utah attorney in another deceptive Utah courtroom. A victim who dares to do that would also be risking another unpredictable pending "legal" matter at the hands of yet another "self-supervised" attorney and that would also take several years and cost tens of thousands of dollars (all while their original legal matter was allowed to worsen in unconscionable ways). However, if that victim dares to risk all this and years later is able to fund the case going all the way to "The Utah Supreme Court" the victim should know that the Justices of "The Utah Supreme Court" have demonstrated that they too will secretly look the other way and allow the attorney to keep pursuing victims and pocketing one fortune after another in the process. It gets worse. The following is a list of ways Utah's attorneys, judges and the rest of Utah's deceptive legal system are targeting thousands of Utah victims from all walks of life every year:
Because of an attorney's unique position and relationship to a "client" in Utah, the attorney can secretly groom the client in many ways to make simple cases go on for years and years at unconscionable costs. These are cases that should have been settled in a simple mediation session on Day 1. The attorneys do this with several insidious goals in mind.
When the person is a homeowner or a landowner, it's not uncommon to see attorney fees reach hundreds of thousands of dollars with no end in sight for years and no progress in the case. This is because the attorneys secretly know they can put a lien on the person's home or land, force the sale of it and collect on the falsely inflated amount.
If a "client" dies (or commits suicide) the attorneys can collect on an additional false fortune. They can do this by adding tens of thousands of dollars (or more) to the dead persons bill. The the person's surviving children and family can't do anything about it.
If you are aware of a case that involves a homeowner or a landowner and it's gone on for years, it's highly likely the attorneys are colluding with each other to drag the case on until the person dies (or commits suicide). In Utah, you don't have to look far to find a simple case that has been dragged on for 5-10 years or longer by the attorneys for this insidious purpose. In fact, you don't have to look far to find a Utah attorney who seems to groom "clients" to commit suicide.
In addition to the deception perpetuated under the lies of "The Utah State Bar", the justices of "The Utah Supreme Court" have demonstrated that they too are aware of these secret tactics and that they will continue to support Utah attorneys in engaging in them. (Yes I, Mike D. Jarman, a Utahan, am openly accusing "The Utah Supreme Court" of these critical deceptions.)
In artificially extending cases to collect unconscionable fortunes, Utah attorneys regularly collude with crooked judges, mediators, custody evaluators, the "Division of Child and Family Services", the "Office of Recovery Services", the "Utah Department of Human Services" and other services that appear to be "neutral". This is because it's simply a pay-to-play scheme. Whoever is willing to pay (or use a credit card, month-after-month, year-after-year) gets the result no matter how irrational or dangerous it seems.
Because Utah judges were once attorneys too and they had the same thing done for them they play along. This includes purposely giving irrational rulings in cases (and waiting months or years to do so) so that the case can be dragged on for years more with the appearance of appeals. Grooming by the attorney's plays a critical role in this too. Remember, the entire deceptive system exists to see to it that above all the attorneys can get paid for as long as possible or until the person dies or commits suicide. When you understand this, you will find answers to all the questions you may have about why a case has gone on for so long, so irrationally, so dangerously, so blatantly, so unconsionably.
Utah attorneys can pose as collection agents. They can solicit businesses or people in doing this. This means anyone the attorney can get the business or person to claim owes them money the attorney can then employ the deceptive system to harass the innocent person while adding thousands in fees to the original false amount (no matter how small the original false amount may have been or even if the persons credit card company already made a decision against the business and in favor of the innocent person and refunded the person). Because these deceptive "collection attorneys" generate so many false cases for Utah's deceptive courts and those cases generate revenue in expensive courthouse fees the court often awards collection attorneys whatever they demand, without a hearing or trial for the innocent person. Tragically, this deception allows attorneys to further molest a persons life because the false collection filing by the attorney hi-jacks the person's credit report for years and prevents the person from getting a job, buying a work vehicle or buying a home. The attorney's know this and because of these long term effects, many victims simply end up just paying the thousands of dollars in extortion fees to the attorney. Utah attorneys engage in thousands of these "collection" cases each year.
Utah attorneys can demand thousands of dollars in upfront payments disguised as "retainer fees" then never even call the person back. In fact, many attorneys will wait weeks or months then call the client back demanding thousands more for a "different course of action". Thousands of victims every year fall for it. Because this tactic is so rampant and easy for Utah attorneys to get away with, there are victims who have had more than one Utah attorney to this to them in the same year.
If a rape victim calls a Utah attorney to file a "protective order" against the rapist the attorney can demand $5,000, $10,000 or whatever the fearful woman will pay to fill out the form even though she could have done it for free online in less than an hour if someone had told her. It's unbearable to wonder how many rapes, murders and other violent crimes in Utah communities could have been prevented at the hands of a Utah attorney but weren't because exploiting a victim of rape out of thousands of dollars was more important to the "attorney".
Utah attorneys are allowed to be alcoholics, drug addicts, porn addicts, gambling addicts and worse without any supervision or accountability whatsoever. If an attorney needs an extra $10,000 a month to fund their addiction (or latest escapade) all they have to do is add it to random client(s) bills and the clients won't even know.
Utah attorneys are allowed to use other loopholes created and hidden by a deceptive courthouse department known as "The Utah Administrative Office of the Court". One loophole allows attorneys to further groom their "clients" and collude with judges and other parties as it doesn't require "proof of delivery" for certain, critical documents. Another loophole allows the attorneys to bill their client's extra hours of "wait" time without the client knowing what is really happening. It does this by mass-booking multiple cases all at the same time even though other courtrooms sit empty. This deception allows judges to secretly control what attorneys and law firms collect on millions of dollars a year in artificially extended "wait" times as they allow the attorneys they favor to "wait" the longest while billing hundreds of dollars an hour. It's not uncommon for an attorney or law firm to bill multiple clients each hundreds of dollars an hour for the same "wait" time. Remember, judges were once attorneys too and had the same thing done for them so they play along to take care of their own for reasons we can only imagine.
It's common for Utah attorneys to register a different business name to operate under every few years or to self-righteously cite "the Bar", "an oath", a "Code of Ethics" or the "direction of the Utah Supreme Court" as a way to skirt questioning them about any of this. In reality, these are just more tactics to keep up the false image that Utah attorneys are "Ambassadors of the law". In fact, Utah attorneys are Utah's worst deceivers of "the law" because they are the only ones who hide behind it while targeting innocent Utahans from all walks of life.
To avoid being exposed and feigning ignorance to any and all evidence presented, many Utah attorneys will try to claim that the "Utah Supreme Court" supervises The "Utah State Bar". Regardless of what deceptive language "Utah State Bar" tries to hide behind to imply that it is "directed" by the Utah Supreme Court, in reality, no Justices of the (incompetent or corrupt) "Utah Supreme Court" supervise "The Utah State Bar's" actions from day-to-day. In fact, undeniable proof exists that the "Utah Supreme Court" is well aware of all these loopholes, knows attorneys who abuse them to unheard of levels and that it continues to look the other way. On top of this, Utah's elected politicians including Governor Gary Herbert, Lieutenant Governor and Governor Elect Spencer Cox, Utah Attorney General Sean Reyes, other elected officials, appointed officials (judges), the Utah offices of the FBI, the FTC, the US Attorney's Office, the Utah Association of Realtors, Senator Mitt Romney, Senator Mike Lee, the Utah Judicial Conduct Commission, the Utah Judiciary and even other past and present prominent leaders including one who was a Justice on "The Utah Supreme Court" for four years and others have also demonstrated in no uncertain way that these deceptions will continue to be allowed. Perhaps this is because once this is exposed the State of Utah is likely to be on the hook for untold fortunes in damages and losses to hundreds of thousands of Utah victims (and their surviving children and families over the past several decades? (It has to do with the State of Utah simultaneously creating and breaking a critical fiduciary duty to the State's citizens.)
As these loopholes continue to be exposed, in addition to the integrity of all of the State of Utah's political, legal, municipal, educational and media offices being compromised by perpetuating the lie of "The Utah State Bar" the integrity of the University of Utah's SJ Quinney College of Law as well as BYU's J Rueben Clark Law School has also been compromised. For their critical actions in perpetuating this deception for so many years, it seems these "law schools" should be shuttered for a period of time until solutions (and there are many) are implemented. Perhaps five years ought to be long enough? Even worse, the integrity of "Utah Law" has been further compromised by Utah being the first state to waive the (now token) "Bar Exam" for attorneys.
Because all of Utah's political, legal, municipal, educational and media offices are controlled by certain culturally-influential but clearly ecclesiastically-bankrupt members of the "Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints" perhaps the President of the United States (whoever that is) should implement the Federal Insurrection Act of 1807 and immediately occupy Utah until solutions to this insidious corruption can be implemented free of individually shameful members of one collectively proud organization?
In 1933 a peculiar component of Mormonism openly endorsed early Nazism. Perhaps what we have seen with "Utah Law Fraud" over the past several decades has more to do with that endorsement of that shameful component than we dare imagine? (1)(2)(3)(4)(5)(6)(7)
If you're wondering how all this is possible remember "A lie told long enough becomes the truth" and in Utah, millions of people have collectively been told these lies for decades. If you are a victim of any of these deceptive hounds-of-hell, know that just by staying alive you are beating the devil at his own game. Remember, no matter how prominent they are or what their religious affiliation may seem to be, crooked politicians, leaders, attorneys and judges will do anything to provoke a reaction out of you so that they can use that to condemn you (or throw you in jail and permanently silence you). So be smart as you individually and collectively look for your own ways to raise awareness about this. If you have an experience to share about a crooked Utah attorney, judge, mediator, custody evaluator, peculiar case or cases you can do so by creating a post at this reddit link. Use the search box at the top to search for the crooked person's name to see if a thread has already been started under their name. If you are suffering, here are some additional resources to help the moment pass. Like other links already shared, these have also been suggested by other victims over the past 3.5 years. *The list of 32 other jurisdictions this is happening in affecting more than 200 million innocent Americans can be found in this wikipedia listing (scroll down about halfway to "Mandatory, integrated or unified bar associations" and you'll see the list of other states in that paragraph). ***"They tried to bury us but they didn't know we were seeds."***
Popular mobile game permits a cheater to win the game's top prizes for more than a year
TLDR: Mobile and online game company seems to knowingly allow at least one player to cheat and steal rewards from paying customers for close to two years, resulting in players wanting to file a class action lawsuit (MI, USA). I play a somewhat popular mobile and online game. Like many mobile games, they have a shop in which they sells customers the ability to increase the power of their account. The more powerful the account the greater the chances of winning matches and placing high scores within events, which rewards players with in-game prizes. The game sells bundles of items for roughly between $3 and $100 apiece on a rotating basis. These bundles include either random items from within a small pool. These items should increase the power of an account within the game. Purchases are also for in-game currency that players use to make purchases within the game, as you would with cash. Some items and bundles within the game can be purchased for cash and others by spending in-game currency, which are purchased for cash. Purchases made with in-game currency are almost entirely based on a gamble. For instance, pay X amount of in-game currency on a chance to win one out of ten prizes of varying quality. Many of these bundles for purchase are sold on tiered structure and the more that is spent the higher the chances of receiving more powerful items. Buying more powerful items makes an account stronger. Having a stronger account theoretically gives an account a much higher chance of winning prizes in events. I have personally spent a few thousand dollars over several years, one small purchase at a time, but many people that I know in the game have spent over $40,000 and there's some real whales in the game who have spent much, much more than that., just to give you an idea of the money flowing through the game. The game has numerous special competitions. They take place on a near weekly basis. Through these competitions players earn in-game prizes based on how well they perform against other individual players and guilds against guilds. The best prizes are limited, and go to a small number of top players who perform the best in any given event. How well one does almost entirely depends on the amount of money spent in the game, but there is also some skill, luck and basic mathematics involved as well. The special competitions in the game are based on players having a limited number of turns within the events. For example, 10 turns a day for 4 days, giving each player 40 turns apiece in total to get the highest score possible against an AI versions of other players accounts, with wins and losses equaling a set number of points. For more than a year, three accounts, at least two of which are said to be controlled by the same person, and all of which are in the same guild, have been using an unknown exploit in order to cheat through all of the competitions and steal top prizes from the entire community of players. Players that have paid a lot of money to compete in these challenges are seemingly being robbed by this cheater. While the method of the exploit is unknown, the effect is that it gives this person using it additional turns within the competitive events. Having extra turns grants them impossible scores, which is why they are easy to identify. This has been documented thoroughly for well over than a year, and continually reported to the company that owns and manages the game since as early as the summer of 2019. There are numerous threads on the game's message board with hundreds of posts and thousands of views begging the company to either fix the exploit or ban the player that is abusing it. Numerous emails and direct messages have been sent from players to the game's employees, but for some yet unknown reason nothing is ever done about it. The company will only post what read like canned responses about how they are aware of the reports and that they will look into it, but coming up on two years and they have refused to ever do anything about it. They appear to knowingly and continually allow the use of this exploit to continue while thousands of people are spending money on the game in order to compete in these events that the cheaters are stealing the prizes from. It should perhaps be pointed out that the company is otherwise very active when it comes to policing the game. They have banned other players for different offenses within the game, and continually monitor their message boards, which has a full time moderator employed by the company. They are not inactive. They just refuse to enforce any rules when it comes to these particular cheaters. Many have speculated that it could be one of the company's own employees, or a friend or family member, because few other solutions would seem to explain how this one particular issue refuses to be acted upon, and the exploit and theft allowed to continue for such a long period of time. For more than a year people have been mentioning filing a class action lawsuit against the company for intentionally allowing the cheating to continue while the community of players gets robbed of their rewards by the person using the exploit. As far as I know, nobody has actually done anything to initiate one, and I don't know if they would have any sort of case to pursue against company if anyone tried. They seem to believe that because a player making purchases has a reasonable assumption that spending money on the game gives a plausible expectation that their purchases will pay off in competition prizes, that the company allowing these cheaters to claim those prizes by nefarious means for such an insanely long period of time should make the company liable for some sort of damages.
