The Uncannies

How did Benny Gantz and others uncannily enter my pictures? That is the question.

* this ongoing series is to bring attention to various security-related concerns that may well have occurred in Israel as related to myself in particular as mentioned in Beyond Blacklists. It is also a continuation of the Benny Gantz intersects that ended abruptly but started off as a set of uncanny similarities.

** for each image above, the original picture of BG was uploaded after mine, typically within a few hours or days! I have never been in contact with him or his team yet it seems that a pictorial conversation has (and is?) taking place and that has put those original photos in the realm of fair use to be merged into this site – at least for viewing only and for public benefit and discourse.

*** I have had almost zero pleasure with the intention and action of creating this page – and without pleasure, guilt is not possible.

*** The second last photo of Benny Gantz (next to Aviv Kochavi) was actually reposted to BG’s IG timeline after having already been previously posted to it days or weeks earlier – that is when I stopped following him and his team. The shift was done on purpose… why? Did it have anything to do with my photo of wallabies?

My current view (16 July 2023) is that Israelis may well have become deeply affected by gaslighters  which has come to bear by being overly scrutinized by the world’s media for actions in the “occupied territories.” That combined with guilt-ridden (there’s even a study) Jewish culture.

To me gaslighting is viewing someone as wrong or illegal and knowing that that is not really the case, usually by distorting the truth, and then responding accordingly: shunning them in various ways if not outright persecuting them, when in reality that is not really justified – it is often the opposite and that’s why it’s called “crazy-making.” Gaslighting is the art of false accusation with lying or sophistry at its core. It can be also to deflect blame onto the victim… “look what you made me do to you.”

On a few occasions in Jerusalem, I would see teenage lads get into fights with each other in lanes, lay a full or almost full contact sucker punch with their rival (or enemy) and then proceed to hug the same person immediately (different to Max below.)

How do you like working here?

But why would you hug someone you just punched? And why would you accept it? … gaslighting or something very close to it.

A random BMX rider once came up to me (not below) and wanted to lean his bike against my bass drum when I was playing, but the act was really about dropping the bike onto it in order to damage it, which almost occurred and then acting nonchalant about it.

That wasn’t gaslighting though. It was about camouflaging one’s nefariousness.

But the music played on.

Don't Stop to Breathe [21 Oct 2010]

Speaking of which, outside Besarabia one night, a Russian-looking chap approached me (total stranger) and held out his open hand as if to shake mine. He was by himself and so was I.

[11 Oct 2017]

I put mine out to shake his and he crushed it for that pain response, and it was sore for a few hours. I don’t think he was drunk either and he was smiling the whole time. Good venue but I’m not sure I did much jamming that night.

Wrong t-shirt perhaps. Psychopaths are adept at spotting weakness and the hallway was empty.


Being legal or right doesn’t matter if someone is “gaslightable” as they will eventually (and hopefully) fold – that is talk and act within that dynamic in a hostile (or even subservient) manner, especially if there is a group effort to make that happen. At that point, there is the chance to be a superhero against that person (ie villain) and any of their “co-conspirators” to boost one’s own ego, and whatever else comes with prevailing in a fight.

[ src ]

Also, from my understanding, gang-stalkers are told “this person did (or didn’t) do ABC so you can now do XYZ to them.” Truth and proportionality be damned. Gang-gaslighting would come earlier in that process.

[ src ]

Everyone gradually loses their innocence, but they can gain their purity.

The US Criminal Justice System, from my understanding is a modern-day slave trade and I hope I’m wrong. All the jails are controlled by a few private organisations and they have quotas to fill and inmates work in these prisons. I wonder how many convictions result from prosecutors and police who are keenly aware that a defendant is innocent in order to:

  • fill these quotas
  • gain career points
  • feel and look useful to gain more funding
  • perform for the public in a theatre that seems real

    [ src ]

  • protecting and deflecting blame of true crimes by insiders (“we solved that crime already”)
  • negating blackmail or intimidation (both illegal)
  • obtaining kickbacks, bribes, confiscated drugs and other job perks

I don’t know. This would take gaslighting into the realm of organised crime by those who are meant to uphold justice, not knowingly break it.

“It is hard to believe in the criminal justice system when even the FBI, the president, and his son are so implicit in criminal behavior. In our system, it pays to commit big crimes. To evil people the bigger the better.” – (Sircus, Jul ’23)

And people can believe anything, even an oxymoron and history is written by the victors and the living. Welcome to Earth. Perhaps it could be called the US Condemnation and Kickback System. And speaking of ‘innocent,’ that word is used 6.5% of the time in the final words …of the executed in Texas.

So at some point, one should ask themselves: “Am I part of the problem, or part of the solution?” But as Barbara Graham said before her execution: “Good people are always so sure they’re right.”

Paul Graham has echoed similar sentiments:

“This circus of incompetence and dishonesty is the real issue with the death penalty. We don’t even reach the point where theoretical questions about the moral justification or effectiveness of capital punishment start to matter, because so many of the people sentenced to death are actually innocent. Whatever it means in theory, in practice capital punishment means killing innocent people.”

[ src, April 2021 ]

Presidents and leaders of all countries should take that viewpoint into account as they sign-off on executions, with USA only being the case-in-point here due to the prevalence of information and familiarity with readers. Also one of the 10 commandments is “Thou shall not bear false witness.” So does the sign-off end up being self-incriminating down the track after a posthumous exoneration? Also transgressed would be the 7 Noahide laws that extended beyond the Israelites to everyone that included no murdering and establishing courts of justice.

The 12th-century Jewish legal scholar Maimonides (Rambam) stated that:

"It is better and more satisfactory to acquit a thousand guilty persons than to put a single innocent one to death."

Maimonides argued that executing a defendant on anything less than absolute certainty would lead to a slippery slope of decreasing burdens of proof, until convictions would be merely "according to the judge's caprice".

Maimonides was concerned about the need for the law to guard itself in public perceptions, to preserve its majesty and retain the people's respect. - src

Yet “in most states, there is no regular procedure for reconsidering the guilt of a convicted defendant after death; that’s one reason why posthumous exonerations are so rare.” [src] And if they did exist, it could easily lead to the deaths of many judges and jurors in revenge attacks. But really, isn’t it the lawyers and prosecutors that would be most to blame, and anyone involved in evidence and witness tampering or obfuscation?

“Withholding evidence that is favorable to a defendant, whether it is evidence of innocence or evidence that undercuts a prosecution witness such as Webb, is one of the most egregious acts of misconduct a prosecutor can commit.” [src]

Isn’t actual murder an adequate charge to run alongside such conduct in this high-stakes blame game?

Be that as it may, killing just for kicks is something that people with an “orange-ray emotional blockage” would do and to me would indicate someone stripped of their humanity. I read about Roy DeMeo‘s crew murdering random people just for practice during “dry-spells” of work just to keep their skills sharp. There were the Banderites in Ukraine? Or with Wagner:

"While this crime is being committed, it's as if it were a game, you know, with the lightness around it, the men laughing around it, there's a total disregard for the humanity of the victim," she says.

"The problem is, it was difficult to point out this because they had a strict media policy where fighters were not allowed to take pictures of their operations," he says.

Mr Şaban says the group actively tried to recruit war criminals who "just wanted to kill".

I covered something like this in Ormus King 4 where an alien race attains near immortality by killing off entire planets and then siphoning their life force in a ritual. Also, it will be interesting to see what happens in the Ukraine in say 10 years time. Igan claims the war is about population reduction of working-age men in that region so that Ukrainian-born Israelis can eventually leave and return to their birthplace and have dominion (1:02:18 –> 1:07:00 **). This sounds too bizarre to be true… or not! I welcome Mr Gantz’ comment. It is correct that many Russian-Israelis aren’t even Jewish.

** That podcaster died a few months later.

1993: Shorn Right!

Bad hair days be damned and seeking other solutions!

(updated: 16 February 2025)

[ Light Blue, issue 113, Feb 2024, p8-9 ]

I was never sure what to do about my hair when I arrived at Timbertop. I liked my hair but wanted something lower maintenance so decided to get a “blade 2.”

In my hike group, “Lozenge” (below middle, black t-shirt) took the photo above left and ended up getting a blade 1, I think a couple of weeks after me. It was insane.

But both our hair grew back by term 4 to the point where I was asked to get it cut.

I still can’t wrap my head around how Owen Wilson (above, yellow T-shirt) ended up in the group without anyone batting an eyelid. Or was it his twin/doppelganger?

Whatever we did, it worked and I picked up equal first in the photo competition (with Sight Regained t-shirt) at the end of Term 1.

Also, our hike group of 6 people picked up 3rd place at the hiking awards for the distance we traveled at the end of the year with our group leader (above, Dolphins cap) receiving a free jacket. In that group, to the best of my knowledge, I did most of the navigation, sometimes with Lozenge. I was the designated navigator, was I not? Yet roles weren’t really important. I had already been navigating at Mount Buller with the ski map for many years prior, so it wasn’t hard for me.

So “Dolph” chimed in sometimes yet maybe he was navigating too, but was less vocal about it. Same with “The Big Dipper” (wearing glasses.) We very rarely got lost or needed to do a triangulation. If lost, the idea is to just stop and retrace steps and with good visibility, that’s pretty easy. I think the key is to always be working with the map and land simultaneously as much as possible by merging the two within the mind. That leaves the others to crack jokes and think about water. I think we aimed for ~30kms per day in pre-planning but also took into account terrain to obtain a time target instead of distance one.

Maybe the secret to our “success” was that 4 of the guys were all from the same unit, so had more cohesion. I also knew Lozenge from before Timbertop. In the long-runs, I was usually coming in 18-25th place – I think the best from our group. Maybe Lozenge did better on a couple of occasions. None of us were laggards. The most difficult groups are ones where there is a super-fast person with a super-slow person. Also, we were good with setup and takedowns of camp – that can really be a time sink.

D’s group scored first place – they all got jackets and a girl’s group led by a Japanese girl came in second. I think that was the case.

Getting a blade 2 before anyone else was the tough thing to do and a lot of people were checking it out.

  • pic 2,3,4 – unit master and science teacher S.
  • pic 5,6 –  “Passover or Passout?” with M and FT, 5 April 1993. [pic 5 was also in the school magazine with a description]

M’s not technically Jewish and it was very gracious of him to attend. More could be said about the passover but I’d have to double check with a few others first.

Speaking of which, I met W at Timbertop and he lived near me and we actually hung out a few times in the subsequent years. I hope he’s doing well. The last time I saw him was in late 1999 when I encountered him at the end of Huntingfield Road by chance with PJ (I am pretty sure that that is what occurred.)

Looking back at my life, I’ve missed so many formal occasions, I can only see it as character-building and a means of differentiation – Rites of Passage or Rites of Destruction? Religion divides as much as it unifies in this day and age. And for some, a Jewish guy married to a gentile is not even seen as married at all and that the wife could/should convert. As such, I’m not doing too badly. It’s also impossible to convert to another religion – you’re just confused.

There’s no map to the promised land – for me at least. Does one swim upstream or downstream? Is there even a choice? And I met a religious guy in Israel that aimed to do away with all the mitzvot and just attain the wisdom behind their underlying sefirot – a different kind of observance – but even that knowledge has been corrupted I suspect. Some people think that this life is all about attaining rebirth in the World-To-Come. Beam me up, Scotty!

Anyway, so my haircut was also a rebellion from my younger years when I refused to even get a haircut.

[Tasmania – first plane trip away from Melbourne]

With the curls, random women would come up and tell me how much they loved my hair and I would say that I hated it – probably due to the compliments but I still didn’t want to get a cut: I thought it would hurt! Something like that attention then happened at school but due to the lack of hair.

Due to the attention, after the blade 2, and until it grew out a bit, I covered my head with a beanie and picked up the nickname “Champ” in the process. That was from big ‘G’ who had just tried it on and was with R at the time.

— pic 2,3 – Bluff Hut for unit campout

It was actually a really empowering nickname – I kind of had to live up to it. I’m not sure many girls used it. And there was another Champ there at the time who was Thai and that was his real name but I don’t think we ever spoke.

G and R both got really short haircuts some time later (when visible underneath their cowboy hats) and perhaps the nickname came about more from their admiration of the cut, than of me. G played drums too. I was relieved people weren’t calling me AIDS like some had 5 years prior – alongside a few calling me ‘Einstein’ such as J. Only G knew what AIDS stood for backwards. I heard him reveal it one night in the San(atorium) in passing conversation. Shocking stuff.

The Champion brand was unknown to Australia at the time and my mum brought it back from Chicago a couple of years earlier. The shop had said that it was the hottest brand at the time. K-Ci can be seen below wearing it on stage in New York in 1991 (vid here.)

In the 1980’s I used to listen to American Top 40 (Casey Kasem) on the radio, and so got a headstart on what was going to be coming down the pipe from the USA ahead of time. Here he is announcing Huey Lewis as #1 in October, 1986. But if you mentioned 80’s music in 1993, people would think something was seriously wrong with you.

“J” took the photo below with my camera and has since become a professional portrait photographer.

I ended up leaving Geelong Grammar as my plan was always to do the International Baccalaureate there, but it was shorn out of the syllabus.

What did I expect?

But I never ended up doing IB anyway due to poor French performance, and I did do VCE Media (1+2) in Year 10 which was new at the time. A few other people ended up at Wesley like PJ and a few girls. I had trouble sleeping in a roomful of people… those damn sleepwalkers – maybe that was it. But hey, I snored sometimes. So on many a night I was the last person to “depart” so I departed myself.

Going back to board – all aboard!

[ 1993 – waiting to get onboard the bus at Spencer Street station with M who I knew from my earlier Glamorgan stint whereby I came into the school already knowing good people. ]

[ 1988 –  arrive at school early enough and there’d be tons of guys on the tennis court playing an elimination game – a few girls but not many. Another chap W also went to the same school from down the street and he rode there too. ]

Quality of sleep is something I should discuss at a later point as I had nightmares for many years starting in the early-mid-2000s I think. But not really anymore. There were also dreams of euphoria, and then various combinations of the two as the mind-body complex healed and purified from the soul outward. Healed from what, though?

  1. Original sin?
  2. Nanotechnology infiltration with a biblical past?
  3. Individual or collective pain-body?
  4. Unfulfilled Jungian archetypes?
  5. Not resonating with past lives and the soul’s journey?

…with those perspectives being in response to a foreign yet innate self-regulating process contained within my perception. Opening up the hurt-locker for a spring clean.

In our unit in 1993, G was very apt at hitting the snooze button and he did it a lot, and he also ended up school captain a few years later.

[ G – far right checker shirt + red t-shirt, further up, behind wheelbarrow. “S” above with the broom who G really helped out and S picked up an endeavour award that year.]

These days I prefer to see myself as waking-up more than anything else, and creating my own version of “woke,” if it’s possible. The beauty of life is that any type of meaning can be attached to it, it seems, but for how long remains in question. But I am always happy to laugh at how seriously I take myself.
