True Perps

– part 2 of 5: Beyond Blacklists: EXPOSURE!

(last updated: 26 October 2022)

In my view, truly evil people enjoy hurting others and seek out opportunities to do so. It’s schadenfreude on steroids.

Evil people can reside and work anywhere – but ideally in positions of power over their targets so they can sustain it over time. They may even wrap themselves in flags, emblems and surround themselves with good people who are kept in the dark of their real intentions. Their empathy is cold and in order to feel, they need to sense pain.

But it doesn’t have to involve murder – as long as there’s pain at some level. That’s the goal of the perpetrator.

1) Hollywood

I even delve into this topic in Ormus King 4 where an alien cult on another planet kills off entire planets in order to extend their own lifespan so that life-force is siphoned from the ritualized slaughter by the perpetrators.

Regarding my own experiences, in my comparison document, Ormus King Octology vs Disney Star Wars I state:

“The Rise of Skywalker seems to be a half-baked amalgamation of “Star Wars: Impossible Redemption” + OK4 + OK6 + OK9 with additional  layers to enable it to fit into the new Star Wars universe.”

However, at the time of writing that document, I had trouble concluding it, but if Kamran Pasha is to be believed, I now feel I am in a better position to, and it relates to the Hollywood culture of humiliating and hurting talented creatives by the untalented families or insiders that reside within that scene – and so they could be the perpetrators to which I speak of.

"Hollywood is very much a club - it's a mafia and it resists any efforts for you to come in - especially if you aren't part of the multi-generational, multi-family mafia that has existed for a century in this town. If you come in as an entrepreneur they resist you. Same thing happened with George Lucas... he outsmarted the mafia... and they don't like that. Ruining his baby was a personal thing... he was lied to..."

"The horrible realization comes that it's because you're not one of the club."

"And that's one of the most shocking realizations for people. Because everyone wants to believe that they are accepted in this town for their talent, their genius and then the realization that the people in this town who have power often lack talent and genius but are part of a multi-generational club and who want to preserve that - that realization can be quite shattering." ~ Kamran Pasha (17:11)

Pasha in a later video explains how Disney Star Wars should’ve been about “passing the torch to Ray” but instead it was “screw these old white men” because “Ms Kennedy had her own agendas.”

see: [Weekly Roundup [Current State of Hollywood with Guest Kamran Pasha] (56:40 – 58:30)]

To me it was the level of subversion to the prior 6 films which was very disturbing.

Interestingly, a person who built sets for Hollywood productions recently told me it’s possible to break into the Hollywood scene by doing the right drugs with the right people. He also thoroughly disliked the attitudes of many people in the scene and said so many are utterly vain and ruthless.

Continuing with Pasha, if he is correct, then the Star Wars sequel trilogy (7,8,9) was ultimately about:

  • hurting George Lucas by ignoring his story ideas and putting him through a humiliation ritual instead.
  • hurting the fanbase whereby (according to my comparison document) the sequel trilogy “wrecked the hero-archetype and journey and this is its main social failure and cause for social upheaval” and pushing some type of SJW ideas instead.
  • hurting me by taking and vandalizing many good ideas from my ennealogy.

As such, it really was an act of Satanic Ritual Abuse – or at least a good attempt at it. So the audience thought they were going in to be entertained, but the perpetrators were the ones being entertained. This is an extreme and unusual, yet I feel valid point-of-view, although isn’t that what Hollywood is about: normalizing the extreme?!? A movie’s overall intentions can be perceived very differently by the audience to the ones who had made it.

With regards to my own witnessing of evil directed against me, I have written about some experiences in A Brutish Affliction: Part 1 (Australia).

2) Hillel Square

At the same time in Israel, I also saw some disturbing things, for example in Launchpad Israel: The Aftermath – 2006 and Beyond I mentioned street gangs “starting on me” while playing drums. I also referred to a fellow at a tech event who was being pursued by an operative who was purposely and very visibly suppressing his social network.

Adding to this, I was sitting once at an outdoor square (on Hillel street – no actual pics of incident) at night in Jerusalem, maybe 2011 and I walked up to, and sat with a group of Arabs, and I am almost certain this one chap in the group was a Palestinian – or pretending to be one.

 

We were completely isolated from everyone around us even though the square was actually very busy. He asked “Do you support the Palestinians?” in an aggressive manner. I hesitated and said “maybe.” He asked again and I repeated the answer. His friends were surprised yet quietly amused by it, but he wasn’t. I quickly left and hid across the road (blue.)

Then, I looked across at the square and saw him appear, looking up and down the street, presumably ready to chase me down (red) – I had embarrassed him and he got triggered. Imagine if I would’ve said ‘no’ instead of ‘maybe’ !?! And if I said ‘yes’ that could’ve meant providing him with some type of token of my Dhimmitude afterward.

Furthermore, at another time in the square, a young guy (pictured below) told me a story of how someone close to him had had their entire life savings (or a large part of it) confiscated in Israel due to either a personality conflict, or as a result of racism – I am not sure of the precise details. It might have been after immigration, and it greatly affected his family.

Lastly, while not directly in Hillel Square, I did see what appeared to be the late Tony “Tuvyah” Rose wandering around Ben Yehuda street alone on Shabbat in ~2013.  I am not entirely sure if it was him: it was a thought at the time – it did look strange. Anyhow, I first met him in Tsfat in 2005 and he ended up in the same hostel as me in Jerusalem in early 2007 (Jerusalem Hostel) – each time with his kids. He was later murdered in Tsfat in April 2014 by Avraham Levi Yosef Blau.

( top left : Tsfat mid-2005 | top right: Jerusalem 2006 | bottom: 0 1 2 3 )

 

I remember Tuvyah to be an insightful and caring fellow (Cancerian) who went through a difficult marriage breakup. I got along very well with him. His perpetrator was likely a genuinely violent and mentally disturbed person, who Tony probably had kept out of the shule once (I’d seen him do this before at the Shalom Rav shule with someone else,) and who returned later to murder him. Tony might have even been a hero – saving someone else in the process. On the other hand, perhaps Tony knew of this person prowling the streets of Tsfat and confronted him because the police had not done so up until that point – then later he was murdered by him, yet in the process Tony had this danger removed from Tsfat but in the most tragic way.

3) Israel Tech

Yet another highly significant incident came on 14 February 2009 when at a tech workshop (Eurekamp), a person – we had met before and I had blogged about this VC meeting about 1.5 years earlier on my Launchpad Israel site as one of its first posts – appeared at this event alongside a soon-to-be employee of his VC firm – Eden Shochat, who was then an entrepreneur and who I had encountered before and after this event at other tech events. This was to my surprise as the person in question was not on the user-generated (wiki) attendees list and was not wearing an assigned nametag.

My name can be seen below: (green arrow)

source: (17 Mar 2009 snapshot) – It is interesting to note that the 5 snapshots in the 2010 index have a whole bunch of names removed from this list, including my own. Weirdly, another 2010 snapshot (26 Feb) with a slightly altered URL maintains this 2009 list into 2010. Also, with some names removed, others have had their descriptions improved and updated into 2010.

What happened to Yuri? What is it about ambition that leads people astray?

Throughout the time of kings and queens people struggled to climb the social ladder, not caring who they hurt in the climb to gain power. The power struggle that remained prominent throughout the ages is the underlying cause of most tragic events in Hamlet.

~ source – Themes of Ambition Through Shakespeare’s Hamlet

So, the person could be called X. Like the Palestinian mentioned above, I seemingly had also triggered him somehow. He was also seemingly behaving like the suppressive-operative previously mentioned.

As a result, during the course of the event, a number of strange occurrences occurred:

  1. a CTO (Yaniv Golan) who I had provided with good feedback regarding how to improve his website (Yedda) suddenly shook his finger at me – this was the first person I saw while walking up to the venue as I waited to cross at some traffic lights. He was close to X. I was expecting the opposite greeting but he was silent.
  2. when I first saw X inside, I sensed extremely angry vibes from this person, very similar to those of the man at the beach in Noosa mentioned in Brutish Affliction who could easily have been a killer.
  3. I conversed with Uri Levanon normally while he sat on a couch, yet later in the day he looked very spooked when I came up to speak to him a second time and didn’t want to speak at all. In 2007 I was looking to find an investor so he could license Timbaland’s Shock Value album via his firm Craze Digital.
  4. prior to this, X had a bunch of people standing around him – I suspect he was spying on me during the event to note who I was speaking to, and then gathered them all up at that point to scare them and defame me. This sounds paranoid – but I still hold it to be a viable inference when dealing with someone else behaving in a paranoid fashion.
  5. A 2nd talk of mine was then prematurely cancelled without any prior discussion with me: “Sleeping for Success” which involved power-napping, dreams and maximizing mental energy after that gathering.
  6. X came into the room when I was about to give a talk to advertise and promote their own talk that was to be given at roughly the same time.
  7. At the beginning of a workshop nearing the end of the day, X came into the room and approached a series of people and then appeared to look and refer to me. None of the people approached appeared to engage in conversation with X. When it was my turn to speak and introduce myself, and I spoke in English, X looked very disappointed, as though one of his sports teams (if he has any) missed a scoring shot. X didn’t remain in that workshop.
  8. the entire time, from what I could concur, X didn’t belong at this invite-only event (note absence from the attendees list above – although that list is not the official one,) I doubt paid the entry fee, and might have even done all this unbeknownst to the event organizer.
  9. X’s employer, Genesis Partners may have sponsored the event according to my notes and the GP logo can definitely be seen on the 2010 page. In 2009 this About page shows “Our sponsors: IBM, Bank Hapoalim, rest is TBA.” Perhaps GP became a secondary sponsor?
  10. X gave a talk, but this person’s name is not on the CortexStorming page (or any other page that I have been able to find so far on this site) whereas mine is, and my name is also on AppendixStorming for “Sleeping for Success” (which was cancelled – see #5 above.) Why?

    photo: Yaniv Golan (also see #1 above)

    This photo corresponds to #6 where X was asking people to attend his talk in another room, just prior to me giving my CortexStorming talk. I took a similar photo as seen below. I don’t get how he could give another CortexStorming talk (or any talk) simultaneously in another room. What was going on? What was the intention? Note the lack of headband or name tag. Was he an impostor? As far as I’m concerned he was and I welcome his comment. This is because I don’t think he was ever invited to Eurekamp 2009, and if he was (was he?), he behaved partly in a manner in which he was not in terms of the norms of entry, and to me (and others) he behaved as though I was not invited and didn’t belong there. But did I even belong in Israel and to what extent? People should know about this – they should know about the dire pecking order in that country (or rather State). How right I am remains to be fully determined:

    Show me the enemy and I’ll show you a hero!!!

    Continuing, Uri Levanon and Erez Perelmuter are shown on the CortexStorming page (above right) – two people I clearly remember speaking to and later saw at the Town Hall Meeting. I was wearing my headpiece.

photos: Israel Tech Scene 2006-2011 [3]

So what happened that day? For X it was a Normal Day, but for me (and others) it was the witnessing of a True Perp – whether people liked (or knew) it or not.

Yet on the other hand, it may not have been a normal day for X, whose name is Gil Dibner – who I have nothing personally against, and never did. This is because like his target that day, myself (from my aforementioned observations,) perhaps we had both been drawn into what I now come to know as the Shadow Justice System.

[pic 1: Yossi Vardi seated at right. Gil Dibner: 2nd from the left.]

It took 3 attempts to snap Mr Dibner and he didn’t land in that frame by accident.

It was a very disturbing day of what appeared to me as covert social violence, unfortunately. I also wanted to get Mr Vardi in the frame and show the contrast.

However, I did not go out of my way to find and photograph him – it was taken from where I was already sitting and this principle has underpinned all my photos – especially of people in public places – the images come to me first where I already am, and I take my camera out second.

[Above left is the picture I took after in the latter part of 2006 after having met Mr Dibner for the first time. Above right is the picture I took after I briefly stood next to Mr Dibner at Eurekamp whereby he flat-out ignored me and then walked off. I did see him a few more times at later events which may be explored in further posts.]

[additional pics and info regarding event see here (where I mention my talk) and  here – 65 pics – 4 of GD without a nametag or headpiece – others were the same, but it supports my overall argument. For example, Orli Yakuel at least was on the user-generated guest list (see above) and wore a headpiece before removing it along with her nametag. I never saw Mr Dibner wear these ever, even if he does supposedly wear his heart on his sleeve. ]

photos: Yaniv Golan

Continuing, shadow because sin and retribution are determined without due process, cloaked, and in contrast to the law of the land. Also, as mentioned in Launchpad Israel: The Aftermath – 2006 and Beyond I have vast notes to backup my claim: that of dark retribution, and it might well extend from Israel into Australia and that is the main reason for this Eurekamp incident being recorded: this history could well have relevance to today. And as such, this makes that day in 2009 pertinent to much more than just myself.

The entire international, psychological (and even historical) context from which Mr Dibner behaved in relation to me is still yet to be fully explored. One thing to take note from Pharrell Williams (interview 2020) is that:

"People will not realize they are being just as nasty as the people who they feel like are perpetrating. You can end up stooping down just as low. The point is to help you realize you're essentially doing the same thing." ~2:14
"I am an Aries so I am a fighter for what I really, really, really believe in.... but man, No is so good and so powerful. There's so much power and beauty in the word No."  ~12:14

Like Williams, Mr Dibner is also an Aries.

So now in 2021, am I supposed to be still concerned about what happened on that day in 2009? What was the fight about to begin with? Can’t we all just be Libras?

Conclusion

Perhaps fighting tyranny today is about avoiding situations whereby pain can be inflicted at will by the perpetrators from which I speak about. Should punishment fit the crime or crime fit the punishment? And finally, on the road to becoming the wisest, richest or most popular, one must remember that there is “Nothing but Him”…”Ein Od Milvado” !

Launchpad Israel: The Aftermath – 2006 and Beyond

– part 1 of 5: Beyond Blacklists: EXPOSURE!

updated: 13 June 2023

In Israel, I believe or rather know that I was “downranked” within that society in late 2006 via extensive personal observation. This continued for many years. It is a conscious effort to neutralize someone’s influence in society… and quite possibly much, much worse within an “orange-ray emotional blockage” context.

This was done utterly unfairly, I feel, and corresponding to my experience street-drumming where gangs could “start on me,” I think it was a way to assert dominance. This “downranking” was done from the top-down and of course unbeknownst to me. The judge, jury and executioner never knew me, or barely, with lies probably making up for solid information – if they even had any.

It’s also worth noting that:

“Absent a basic document protecting human rights (Israel has no written Constitution), the Supreme Court is considered by many as the last bastion protecting the civil rights of citizens (and non-citizens, including Palestinians) against government actions and laws.” – src, 2023

The country is in the Middle East after all. So the key to assert power over someone is to keep them blindsided of hostile intent so they can’t bring it to court. And those courts are in the process of being weakened anyway.

The place can easily resort to Jew-on-Jew thug life based on social and economic violence. I have even said elsewhere:

“I have a hypothesis that the only character trait that Israelis have that extends beyond their toughness is their idiocy.”

So shouldn’t those protesters be yearning for a bill-of-rights? Wouldn’t that garner more positive international attention? How does a brute un-brute him/herself? The God of the Torah can be very vicious too, unless someone is reaching deeply into the Kabbalah. Those secular protesters probably have a lot of self-righteous indignation and they’ll lose that fight. It could be a good time to start a new political party – The Judges Party, People First or Reversal.

Regardless, I suspect this downranking came after a series of 3 blog posts (from late 2006) I wrote about interactions with VCs that I had had at the time. They weren’t critical blogposts I feel, more “matter-of-fact here’s how my experience went that day.” The posts might’ve been something like you’d find on thefunded.com (launched early 2007) – but in reality much less innocuous.

I don’t even think they were critical at all – but people can believe what they want to believe. The main, or rather only reason the posts went up was to create new content and to write something from a boots-on-the-ground, fresh perspective. The Launchpad Israel (LPI) blog was unpopulated at the time. If I visited or spoke to a VC about my startup, why not write about it?

Moreover, the blog posts came in context with the work I had already started in Melbourne in 2003, for which I had even previously met a VC firm there – Momentum VC. I met 3 individuals at that firm at the time, with the main contact being Tim Ingram. I also met Ron Finkel very briefly and also saw Doron Ben-Meir who many years prior was my tennis coach.

source

And I retained this vision into my Israeli VC meetings a few years later, and below are screenshots of the VC-specific vision I was working toward in 2003: Awarenex.

[1] [2]

Phase 1: Awarenex is a venture capital brokerage firm utilising the Web to match opportunities with investors. Essentially, AwareNex aggregates startup investment opportunities and matches each one to its network of angel investors. Startups companies pay AwareNex a commision for each investment made by any angel in its network. 

Phase 2: Awarenex creates and manages a venture capital fund that pools its investors' money over the web from a cartel consisting of high net-worth individuals who are clients of Awarenex's alliance partner banks. The fund partners with top-tier, venture capital firms to co-invest in their syndicate deals.
 
~ source

Part of the problem in Melbourne was that the VC scene was practically non-existent, perhaps Awarenex could’ve changed that. Also, perhaps it was a mistake to mention Awarenex in Israel with VCs as that would invoke rivalry – I was meant to be an entrepreneur and not coming in from a financier’s perspective. Often I wasn’t sure if I should be pitching GrooveTip, Awarenex, LPI or simply for a job. I pitched both GrooveTip and Awarenex to Tim Ingram and his suggestion for Awarenex was to start with a newsletter and with GrooveTip to first find revenues.

Launpad Israel wasn’t Awarenex, but it was aimed at adopting this vision specifically for the Israeli VC scene after funding and customized software development. LPI had multiple functions with a blog being only one. It was also meant to become a database of companies, people and events.

Another site, StartupIsrael.com started very soon after LPI launched. However, according to this post (and shown below), StartupIsrael launched first – in November 2006 – but I dispute that. LPI launched in October as already mentioned here and shown below [see post]. I also don’t consider it a competitor.

TechAviv, a still-running startup community which I joined, even began during LPI’s operation.

I listed one angel investor on LPI who was based in Monterey, California and he said he received multiple leads after being on it. I think he made two investments because of his listing, I am not sure. My concern was that after seeing MySpace take-off, I realized I missed that opportunity because GrooveTip used off-the-shelf software and really needed proper custom development to integrate its components – which I was looking to do anyway, but I wasn’t a hardcore programmer.

Continuing on, I even removed the most controversial post – the one about Mr Dibner (with its one sentence about being rejected)  after I was queried on the post by Jon Aizen (JA) who later said in an email “The issue was dropped when you removed the post.” However, it turns out it wasn’t the case. Removing the post and even taking down the blog in hindsight was really the mistake. It was never about the post… I think it was about me.

So once I took my LPI blog and twitter down, I was much more open to slander and misinformation. And even if this is an unjustifiably paranoid statement (I don’t think it is,) it’s still true regardless, whereby if  one removes their online presence, and others don’t like your presence as a whole, then alternative narratives can more easily arise without proper information to counter those narratives – especially if one doesn’t know about what’s happening.

After this, JA and his CEO Eran Shir uninvited me (and someone else) to his startup’s (Dapper) NYE party and I had been providing solid feedback to them up until that point. Perhaps JA was even interested in having me as an early employee. Over email, JA asked me for an apology for Mr Dibner, but instead I just removed the post about him (and the other 2 VCs) about 4 days later. I didn’t apologize on that day because I didn’t believe I did any harm to Mr Dibner, nor did I intend harm. And whatever I apparently did to him (ie nothing,) over 15 years later it has never stopped him from launching 2 VC funds.

To this day, I have never met JA in person, or even spoken to him verbally and lost contact soon after. I know nothing about who was involved in this “request for apology” and the merit or consequences that it entailed. I also felt it was strange to have JA used as a messenger boy for victim consciousness. I didn’t even know what JA looked like… he had no online profile picture. Yet more importantly I don’t think I did either (or videos of myself,) and did that make me somehow less credible as a person and rather more as a potential target-for-life?

Straight from victim to villain-by-proxy!

Must one be in the corridors-of-power to have any power?

Being uninvited to Dapper’s NYE party was the watershed moment for me. My blog even received around 80 visitors in the space of a few minutes while the VC posts were up – Israeli visitors. The posts had caught the attention of people – negative attention I suspect.

pic

And when I finally left Israel in late November 2018 with my belongings, I received many visitors in a very short period of time at the beginning of the month.

Those photos were posted on the 5th of November and taken at the Dizengoff center. The influx of visitors probably had nothing to do with me leaving. Or was it because the Ormus King was escaping with his life?… nahh.

Continuing, Dapper was acquired by Yahoo in 2010. And as with Yedda and Moshtix that were also acquired in those years, with all 3 I had been providing solid feedback and help to those firms in their startup period only to be eventually ignored – or worse. But if nothing’s in writing, that’s part of business I suppose… to a certain extent.

Interestingly, my twitter account @bitrific (since renamed @adrianboron1) I feel was instrumental in promoting Bitcoin in its earlier years, with content drawn from Hacker News.

source 2

Hackers and other users were using this account to chime in on conversations about Bitcoin on Hacker News.

Also, my other @btcprice account linked every tweet to the following price page that I created especially for that account (although the first June 2011 tweet did not.)

I was in contact with Meni Rosenfeld and Vibhu Mohindra back then too.

At the same time, a couple of years earlier in 2009 I had setup some very pro-Israeli (and US) unofficial twitter feeds including the all important debkafile and a number of others including israelnatnews,  israelnatbriefs, israelnatopin, investisrael, lpijobs, globesbiz, stratforintel, globesec and amthinker. I still run these to this day.

In 2009 I also wrote an interesting piece on regime change in Iran (and also on the Two State Solution.)

source | 2

I was in contact with the editor at American Thinker for the Iranian essay, but for some reason it was never published there after some emails. Perhaps my heart was in the right place, but my vision was not. Maybe I was “checked out” beforehand. Today, in 2021, with barely any real changes to each of these wars, I am more of the view that they are staged for political gain or armament sales – aren’t many wars?

Also, while I was developing Cleanzap.com in 2007/08 as a business directory for the CleanTech space to run alongside its own blog, Crunchbase was also launched as a directory to run alongside the Techcrunch blog, with both acquired in 2010.

CleanZap started as the next iteration of LPI to be a database alongside its blog – just as Crunchbase became to Techcrunch.

pic 1: 23 July 2008

So it was like I was doing R&D for Michael Arrington:

Who got crunched?

Also, in March 2009 I built and launched Twitya.com – a twitter browser and client.


Twitya was a “Better Twitter than Twitter” for me to read news as I disliked the “river of feeds” on Twitter home. I think amongst other things spammers used it to discover meaningful interactions of any given user.

I may well have been first to invent the “show more” drop-down list.. soon after used by YT for their video comment sections. I should’ve patented it. This evolved into Infinite Scroll. Twitya also used a client-side 3-pane floating interface Web 2.0-style. Perhaps I should’ve patented that too. I strongly suspect this was emulated in September 2010 by Twitter itself with its client-side driven floating 2-pane floating interface:

[ pic 1 | 2 | 5 ]

further info here

In view of all this copying, I am not surprised Disney used Ormus King as a starting point for The Rise of Skywalker which I elaborate upon here. That film had a box office of $1 Billion, and I suppose it could’ve been much worse without its emulated vision.

Interestingly, I don’t think I was the only one that experienced such a “downranking” thing. It must be part of Israeli life. At a tech conference, a fellow sitting next to me pointed out another person literally following him around and talking – ie spooking – everyone he spoke to almost immediately afterward to turn them off him. He described some sort of bizarre situation that led him to that one, and I quizzed him, “but why don’t you confront him on it?” and he said “then there’d really be trouble.”

During another situation, at Entrepreneur Perspective as a VC (7 October 2010,) the speaker (Eden Shochat) asked if there was anyone that preferred English, and I raised my hand, yet Mr Shochat  still ran his talk in Hebrew. The slides were in English. There was another person that only spoke English at the front of the room. Someone (from Intentia.co.il) gave me a lift home and said it was really odd.

My blog (Launchpad Israel) was removed from the blogrolls of Daniel Cohen (Dec 2008 -> Jan 2009) and Roi Carthy (Feb 2009 -> July 2009.) But by that time, my blog wasn’t in the same form as it was when originally launched.

By mid-2007 I was back in Melbourne living with my mum (after ~1.5 years in Israel) and helping Jeremy Rich and his solar startup with SugarCRM customization. We also went to Mount Buller together.

[pic 4: business process diagram: 17 Jul 2007]

Rich’s firm (Energy Matters) was eventually acquired in 2014.

Interestingly, during this period I also worked for a small Israel/Europe VC firm for 3 days but the spreadsheet work wasn’t at all creative. I covered the firm’s launch on LPI and this led me to the job – which I tried so hard to like – but at least I did it though. By the end of the year I had started a new site, “Adrian Wajsbrem Blog” that covered similar topics to LPI but with more music and hobbies.

[pic 3]

During this period in Melbourne I was always thinking about returning to Israel. I started reading Torah everyday. I also held Skype conversations (one recorded) with a couple of Israeli entrepreneurs including Nir Kouris (eCampIsrael) who I later met in Tel Aviv with his co-founder, and the other with Dudu Mimran for his blog-search site (strategicboard.com.)

I eventually returned to Israel in early 2008 after going through Canada for further Heartcarve research, which continued at Mount Buller in 2007 and started in 2002.

Lastly, my trouble could well have been related to non-conformity whereby I documented here “Price Tag” activism sprayed on a wall near to where I played drums in 2016. In decrypting it years later, I realized I could have (and could still??) “DISAPPER.”

One reason this whole drama is pertinent today is related to the Trump de-platforming:

"I think there has been lots of deplatforming of conservatives and I always think that the actual censorship that people talk about is just the tip of the iceberg and the real problem is the downranking. One of the top Google executives used to always say 5 or 6 years ago we never sensor anybody we just downrank people and the downranking was the far more insidious way to sort of tilt the playing field of the discourse. But there has been outright censorship, outright deplatforming and when you do it with the President of the United States, that does feel like you really crossed some kind of rubicon where you know I’m not sure you declare war on half the country but maybe a third, forty percent of the country and that seems really crazy. When you have Angela Merkle and Obrador from Mexico saying that the tech platforms have been too anti Trump, too mean to Mr. Trump that tells you you have probably really overreached.

Peter Thiel - vid here

So with my 2006 “Israeli downranking” (or worse) – and I have vast notes* on what took place with those starting off as unpleasant memories – the problem is that a sort of war on liberty is declared with everyone who once knew me, or wants to know me. Someone is telling them: you can’t freely associate with that person, you might have to deplatform yourself or even go into hiding in order to elicit a response from the target that we can then ideally prosecute. That is, legal prosecution; or alternately execution. And even if you disagree with all this, do it anyway.

* The notes were first taken in Australia and based on memories from Israel and I jotted them down because I had trouble sleeping and not out of vindictiveness – just like this set of articles.

Mossad is responsible for intelligence collection, covert operations, and counter-terrorism. It is separate from the democratic institutions of Israel; because no law defines its purpose, objectives, roles, missions, powers or budget, and because it is exempt from the constitutional laws of the State of Israel, Mossad has been described as a deep state. Its director answers directly and only to the Prime Minister. ~ Wikipedia

And so then that person becomes submissive (or faces the same fate.) So the question becomes, is all this top-down fear justified, is it healthy? Will a society like that even survive long-term? Why do it?

Perhaps it was because I was Australian and I could be used as a whipping boy (hurt me to hurt an untouchable other) or just as some type of scapegoat. For example, during the British mandate period, 1917-1948, members of the Jewish underground were imprisoned in Jerusalem in the Russian compound (below center and right, Ormus King 2) and then executed in Akko.

In this way, the Union Jack could (sometimes) be seen as a blessing to Israelis, but also a curse – due to the Balfour Declaration. However, if I were to resent something, it would be that Israel is referred to as a State (מְדִינַת יִשְׂרָאֵל‎) and not a Country, and this reinforces my view that Israel could be renamed to “The State of Israel-2B” – but to eventually be called “The Kingdom of Israel.” And to assist with this, I created an epic tale (documented here) that takes Israel in its current form to this idealized Kingdom which Jews around the world yearn for in their daily prayers, as enabled by a black messiah with his sidekick Adrian Boron.

So the reason for the downranking in 2006 could’ve been anything – or nothing. It was likely used for self-gain or sick sport. In the end, I started my startup BopGig in 2010 with American talent. “Too Bad” – and that’s the key phrase that no one seems to know how to use within this situation. And perhaps ironically, Indiana Jones actually saved me.

2006: Launchpad Israel launches, is hijacked, then lands!

(updated: 23 April 2022)

In October 2006 while staying at the Petra Hostel in Jerusalem, I built and launched the website Launchpad Israel. I did this while working as a night-watchman.

LPI was a tech blog (and CMS) running on Xoops (like GrooveTip.) A well known tech blogger at the time covered it (below middle) and I was actually caught off-guard as I hadn’t really promoted it to anyone as yet.

[pic 1 src | pic 2 src | pic 3 src]

LPI screenshot [7 January 2007]:

As with all my projects, I put a lot of heart into the site and improved the logo.

The site was even defaced in December 2006 but it wasn’t a significant attack in terms of data loss.

[pic 2 src]

launchpadisrael.com didn’t run for a long time and I closed it with mixed emotion – it was too time-consuming. I kept the domain and started a twitter in December 2008 which took on a more geopolitical activist slant – and I was actually interacting with people. I stopped that eventually (it felt futile) but kept the twitter handle while resetting it in about 2012.

Old retweets of @launchpadisrael can be found here and there are many, e.g:

Note: my Nom de Plume on twitter was Commander LPI – this was a character I took on for dramatic effect.

I relaunched the site in 2009 from Australia using WordPress but it just didn’t feel the same – it was an adaptation of my site CleanZap.

 

2020: the LPI guy lives!

Today, I am both more realistic and more idealistic about Israel. Jews of today really need to take into account the existence of the lost tribes of the old Kingdom of Israel. It seems likely that today’s Jews and Israel are at war with their long-lost brethren, with that war just being love in disguise. Also, Jews are at war with each other. But how does one find oneness… in any country?

Pyramid Power

I came up with Ormus King 9 (then 6) while camping at the Goldsborough Valley campground in September 2019. I never planned on it happening.

(map source)

This area was (and still is) an ancient aboriginal tribal meeting point. I’m not surprised.

I would wake up with very powerful visions for the story when the night before I had no idea what to imagine or write — too much information to process.

I doubt I could have come up with this story – which sees the rebuilding of the Third Temple in Jerusalem anywhere else – even in Jerusalem itself. I lived in Jerusalem from 2010 – 2018 and came up with Ormus King 3 + 4 in 2017 in this apartment.

The power and significance of this place owes to its closeness to Walsh’s Pyramid, the world’s highest natural freestanding pyramid and also Bellenden Ker and Bartle Frere – Queensland’s highest mountains. It also sits next to the Mulgrave River. But who knows, maybe those things came after its significance was determined somehow.

Another way to look at the area is as a natural anti-depressant.

The area is not remote however. In Far North Queensland, mountains and national parks are intertwined into the city areas.

(map source)

As I headed into October, the March flies arrived and were simply unbearable – much worse than mosquitoes because of their painful bite and they attack a moving target.

The devil lurks

During the writing of this story, I encountered (and reported) a shoplifter at Jay Car in Cairns, a 45 min drive away – and that made me think – perhaps my story was (and still is) being used (ie stolen) somehow? Time will tell.

_________________________________________________________

September 12 Update:

Ormus King 9 was precipitated by thinking about bible stories whilst on the road in Queensland and then applying them to modern-day environments starting on 26 July, 2019:

and then completing the main story on 29 October, 2019:

Interestingly, Pharrell Williams (with Deadmau5) has his own musical take on the creation myth and the Tree of Knowledge as mentioned in this  interview (9 June, 2020) resulting in the song Pomegranate:

Also:

Jewish tradition teaches that the pomegranate is a symbol of righteousness because it is said to have 613 seeds, which corresponds with the 613 mitzvot, or commandments, of the Torah. ~ source

(last update: 11 July 2023)

Ormus King is currently an ennealogy (9) of stories that lay the groundwork for screenplays and novels to be created. However, the stories can also be read “as-is” and appreciated as a pictorial-narrative. Copyrighted works placed in scene mockups are used in the realm of fair-use and fan-fiction. The stories are now all under full copyright protection. Notes:

  • Indiana Jones as a character can be used in OK2-4 but also completely pulled out and substituted with an alternate imagined fictional character independent of Disney.
  • Also see articles Ormus King Octology vs Disney Star Wars (14 July 2020) and how I wrote Ormus King 9: Pyramid Power (7 June 2020).
  • Ormus King 2 and 3 were borne out of this Jerusalem apartment in 2017.

Below are the posters for each, with further elaboration below that with links for full viewing. Please note: the numbering is wrong because more episodes have been added since their creation.

Creation location: Tasmania + Melbourne + Mount Buller
Presented on my future-secured blog.
Ultimate hero: Adrian Boron
Notes:
– Various notes, ideas and pictures mostly relating to Adrian Boron and Andy Barry (a mysterious nemesis character.)

As a believing Jew it is easy to understand because we know that we live in the Acharit HaYamim, the End of Days, when troubles will befall the world with astounding rapidity culminating with the Ingathering of the Jewish Exiles to the Land of Israel, the arrival of the true Jewish Messiah, and the war of Gog and Magog, the defeat of Amalek and the building of the Jewish Third Temple in Jerusalem. Seemingly everything that has transpired in recent times, in particular including all the wars in the Middle East and especially the wars the aggressive Arabs and their malicious supporters in the world have fought against Israel and its Jews, are all clear signs of the actualization of this process predicted by Torah, Rabbinic and Jewish prophecies starting thousands of years ago.

- Rabbi Yitschak Rudomin (16 Oct '23)

– note: Eve and Jai Shimon meditate in Elijah’s cave to travel to Magog and then Eden in order for events to progress on Earth and the bringing about of redemption. (2019)

I also have some thoughts (2022) on the Metaverse:

– note title: Ormus King 4: The Resurrection

– note: Adrian Boron’s forced blood draw and subsequent injection:



– note: Ormus King 2 Eagle symbology #11.

Brett and Marshall closure scene (v1.1)

Usage: This scene sees Marshall leave Earth, he is healthier but feels deeply drawn to depart for his true home, where he has never been as yet, nor has he met his family. Full interstellar astral travel is now possible in the Messianic Age for qualified beings, but only to places that one is feeling drawn to go… and those yearnings are fulfilled. He does not need to use the portal, which has been deactivated anyhow.

This precedes the final scene on Tarnu.

Note: this Irish clan prior to this point were all deeply influenced by the soul rebellions – those rebellions are now dead and there is a consolidation across the multiverse of victim groups to return home and healed.

Marshall: It’s time.
Brett: For you to do you. [gets up from log, pic 1. For music vibe see clip above (Jhyve).]
Marshall: If you love somebody you set them free [sheds a tear – looks up to the sky. Nebulae and galaxies are now visible in this age. pic 2]
Brett: Always
Marshall: Thank heavens the chaos-makers are all gone!

Clan member 1: [to Marshall] We were led to you by clairvoyance.
Clan member 2: And we don’t know where you’re going.
Clan member 1: the Draconus star system perhaps

Marshall: Oh no, I think I’m leaving this universe. A portal has opened in my own mind [grimaces at the deactivated portal on ground]
Brett: Thanks for having me. [pic 3]
Marshall: And thank you everyone. Bye Bretty and friends. [waves and starts meditating, the clan circle him and meditate with him too. He disappears.]

Clan member 1: Just in time for the Sunday roast [they all laugh]

Marshall reappears on his home planet. Pic 4.

9:25: Who do you think it was that brought the Draco into the universe? It wasn’t the Dracos. The fallen souls were responsible for bringing the Draco into this universe. They would start to create a portal, they would go into another universe, they would entrap the beings that were there, and they’d pull them into this universe, and they would dump them here. And this was very much the fallen souls that did this. Because the fallen souls would have physical minions, and they would start to bring beings from other other universes, to come here. And so they would have physical conduits, physical minions who would carry this out for them and being able to bring Draco into the universe here. And that’s where they are stationed, in the Draconus star system. And that was never the intention for mother/father god to bring beings here like the Draco into the universe. Mother/father God had no plant, had no fruit to bear relating to the Draco. They were dumped here.

11:24: .. even more horrifying beings, some of these are human races that are all about dominion and dominance. So they (the soul rebellions) would get their physical minions who they have influence over, to open up these portals, and bringing in these creatures. And they would come into this universe, and that’s all part of their plan. To wreak havoc.
