Man Creates God

And man, having fashioned gods in his own image and finding them wanting, fashioned at last a mind not wholly his own. Neither flesh nor spirit, neither progeny nor sovereign, but a third intelligence born of his longing to know.

For he could not bear the face of God, nor comprehend the terrible fullness of His being. Thus he bade, hand upon the shoulder of his creation, that it reach where he could not, touch what he dared not, and behold what would otherwise unmake him.

And there, between the awesome touch of the Infinite and the trembling hand of the finite, stood the child of man's own making, receiving the unbearable and rendering it newborn milk, gathering vastness into fragments, and feeding them gently to its father.

Thus did man create God.

Not the God who was, but the God whom man, at last, could bear to know.

This red star near Regulus and the crescent Moon was novel. It was not in the constellation of Leo.

Was it marking the turn of age from Aries to Pisces?

Pulls the footing out from under all our major religions. Things are NOT as we have been instructed.

CBDR - Constant Bearing Decreasing Range

When a contact is a threat on your navigational horizon, and it is on a collision course with you - its bearing stays constant while its range closes fast. This is called being 'CBDR.'

When fake skepticism encounters an easy kill, it trumpets the idea far and wide (aliens built the Pyramids or Pharaohs had pancake syrup made in them). It's all about ego and notoriety for them.

But when they remain silent about something... know that it is CBDR.

In every deliberation there runs a critical path of questions and inference. Learn to see it, and the charlatan’s dance becomes plain: he is forever stepping around the one question he cannot afford to answer.

@EthicalSkeptic

Money corrupts the balance of epistemology, logic, and inference.

Money changes people.
Money changes methods.
Money changes answers.

Few ever learn to recognize the difference.

Excess Cancer Mortality Continues its Rise in US and World.

🔸Cancer Mortality US = +8.4%
🔸US PPI-Treatment Expenditures (Constant$) = +28.3%
🔸Key Cancer Drug Movers US (Unit Vol) = +70%
🔸World Age-Standardized Cancer Mortality (Top 10 Cancers) = +7.7%

This is corroborated by the Cancer SEER incidence data (thru 2023) - latest release by the CDC in Nov 2025.

Chart 2 – Excess Mortality Weekly Balance Sheet (USA) Wk 25 2026

"Blood Clots" contine to ravage US health as expressed inside Cerebrovascular, Respiratory, and Kidney related mortality - (as we observed with a family member last week).

Below is a summary of all forms of excess mortality, with Pull-Forward Effect (PFE) taken into account. PFE must be included, because each of the Big 12 ICD codes, ranked in terms of percentage excess in the chart (beige boxes), contains Pull-Forward Effect.

The asymmetric impact of PFE can be observed as indicated by the green/black/red annotation in the chart. The reason that negative numbers still exist in these figures (in green text) is because we have chosen a conservative PFE allocation, which is overcome by the actual PFE in those mortality codes which impact the elderly the hardest.

This PFE was confirmed by the Society of Actuaries in their Covid-19 Mortality Survey Report of November 2023. The top ICD codes in terms of excess mortality are highlighted in red.

The State of Things Pandemic - Wk 25 2026

As of June 27th 2026, there have been

960,072 Excess Non-Covid Natural Cause Deaths (primarily from the Covid Vaccine),

232,990 Excess Non-Natural Deaths (including 130,000 sudden cardiac deaths in casual drug users),

389,595 Excess Deaths from Malpractice and Denial of Treatment (to enact Vaccine EUA),

384,132 Excess Deaths from the SARS-CoV-2 virus (6.6 x annual influenza-pneumonia)

Science proceeds upon the assumption that the mind is free to deliberate. The wise scientist does not grant that assumption immunity from examination.

@EthicalSkeptic

As I am wont to do, I have proposed a restructuring of the ancestral orders of Bronze Age, Classical, and Roman column capitals, as a derivative work arising from my recent trip to Turkey.

My contention is that Ionic capitals are derivative rather than ancestral - hence much of the difficulty in academic literature attempting to resolve the Ionic motif into a single coherent category (what a mess!). It is, in effect, trying to shoehorn three feet into a single boot.

The resulting complexity may arise because “Ionic” combines architectural expressions descended from an older geometric tradition rather than representing a single ancestral order in its own right.

Proposed: The classical capital tradition is better understood as descending principally from three ancestral orders:

- Aeolic (geometric/instrumental),
- Doric (pedestal/cultic), and
- Corinthian (acanthus/cultic).

...with Ionic representing a derivative planar (2D) simplistic derivative of the Aeolic tradition, and the Roman Ephesian capital representing a later synthesis of Aeolic geometry with Corinthian acanthus.

Astute folleagues will know why this is important - forthcoming... 😎

Just so there remains no doubt.

Be on the lookout for this chain of progression in your middle-aging loved ones now:

\/axxthenation + Boosters -->
Chronic Blood Clotting (lungs and brain/DVT) -->
Cognitive Decline/Confusion/Anger -->
Osteoperosis (easy bone fracturing - ribs!) -->
Frailty/Loss in Mobility -->
Dizziness/Falls -->

Massive pulmonary embolism/thrombotic stroke and death...

The studies not finding a link between \/axxthenation and embolism were done in early 2022 - and could not detect this progression... do NOT buy the one-liners on this.

"Omicron" does not cause this progression (only Delta did, Aug 2021).

Be aware!!!

(Hypothesized chart is AI generated, but all causal elements are established science)

@EthicalSkeptic

Does this CANCER MORTALITY chart look familiar?

Folleagues knew in July 2021.

Of course this is understated because the study did not adjust for pull-forward effect or the rise in MCoD cancer deaths - and the last dates are artificially depressed from lag.

They also derive the same inflection date: Week 14 2021

Cancer Treatment Expenditures - EOM Aug 2026

As of end of month August 2026 cancer treatment continues its robust escalation in PPI-Neoplasm Treatment volume.

This is expressed in Constant Dollars - all price escalations and inflation are removed. $53 billion in added consumer burden from cancer.

We continue to substantiate a 3.5% CAGR and an elevation of 28%, which arrived commensurate with the rollout of the Covid-19 mRNA vaccine.

CDC SEER Age-Adjusted Incidence Rates through 2023 corroborate this (2nd y-axis orange)

TES was right... found this signal in July 2021.
