Dark Humour

Reports of sacrifice??? (And not missing meals)

luciferian doctrines

When it comes to the “Epstein files”—particularly the massive trove released in early 2026—the question of “belief” requires distinguishing between official records and unverified allegations.Because these files contain millions of pages from various sources (FBI reports, court depositions, and personal emails), they aren’t a single cohesive narrative.

Here is how to look at what’s coming out:

1. The “List” vs.

The Contact BookOne of the biggest sources of confusion is the idea of a “client list.” * The Reality: The Department of Justice (DOJ) stated in July 2025 and reaffirmed in 2026 that no official “client list” exists. * The Context: Most of the names appearing in the files are from Epstein’s personal address books or flight logs. Being “in the files” often just means Epstein had someone’s phone number or they sat on his plane. It does not automatically imply they participated in his crimes.

2. Verified vs. Unverified Content

The files are a “mixed bag” of evidence types: * Verified Documents: Things like flight logs, emails, and phone records are generally considered factual evidence of contact. For example, the 2026 release confirmed that Prince Andrew and Epstein remained in contact much later than previously admitted.

* Depositions and Allegations:

Many files contain testimony from victims (like Virginia Giuffre) or Epstein’s staff. While these are “real” legal documents, they contain unsworn statements or hearsay that were never tested in a criminal trial against the people mentioned. * FBI “302” Reports: These are summaries of interviews conducted by agents. They provide a “real” look at what people told the FBI, but they aren’t proof that those statements were 100% accurate.

3. Misinformation and “Fakes”

Since the Epstein Files Transparency Act was signed in late 2025, the internet has been flooded with doctored images and fake lists.

* The “Celebrity” Trap:

Many names seen on social media (like late-night hosts or certain actors) have been debunked as fabrications not found in the actual DOJ releases. *

The “Birthday Book”:

The 2025 release of a “birthday book” compiled by Ghislaine Maxwell contained crude jokes and drawings involving high-profile names. While the book itself is a real artifact, the “jokes” within it (like a fake receipt for a woman “sold” to a prominent figure) are often interpreted by investigators as dark humor or posturing rather than literal receipts of crimes.

How to Navigate the News

To avoid the “dives” into misinformation, it’s best to stick to reports from outlets that have actually sat down with the millions of pages—like the Associated Press or The Washington Post—which distinguish between a name appearing in an address book and a name appearing in a criminal allegation.>

Key Takeaway:

You can believe the files are authentic documents from the investigation, but you should not assume every allegation or name within them is proof of a crime.

Would you like me to look up the specific details regarding any particular person or event mentioned in the latest releases?

Reasons to not take literal.

Editors note:

Dark humour, Metaphor, Coding,discriptive language, sexual play…

Flip Wilson was noted as a comedian that always blamed things on the devil. Don’t get ahead of yourself or the FBI with physical verification. Nobody believed flip Wilson literally.

Well

That being said, until some of the missing people in British Columbia and Canada are accounted for,it would be good to warn young people and vulnerable people that they can’t take the luxury of doing that.

Stranger danger is one thing, double lives of authentic people is another you be the judge when you explain.

PS:

The movie the Wicker Man was out on the market in the early 2000s and even before. It would be reasonable to think that amongst celebrities and the nature available on these islands that conversations may have been scoped for excitement and not reality.

It could also be that play went too far, and some of it was true.

Photographing the Moon from New York

We all see the same moon, we don’t all have the same view.

Editors note:

The United States president has recently stopped a construction of a bridge between Ontario and his country. Citing the fact that Ontario had curtailed some liquor sales or taken American liquor off Canadian shelves.

Reports also indicate that The premier of Ontario. Doug Ford was meeting with the Canadian prime Minister lately. Looking for a possible support mechanism that would make it possible for an election to be called in Canada to regain a government majority by the liberals.

This would be the minority government that was partially incurred by the recruitment of the former deputy prime Minister into the employment of the war engaged US supplied armed conflict of Ukraine President Zelinski against the alleged Russian aggression that saw the Russian state tried to protect Russian minorities within the boundaries of Ukraine.

So while they’re looking at the same Moon that we’re looking at, in Canada, their objectives are different and we must console ourselves for being used. We should all agree that the Epstein thing should not be moved on from because it’s relevance is made more and more clear and pertaining to a striking home at our nation everyday.

Exploitive behavior and a disdain for the explotable, with the greater good of intangible fame a farce and it’s sister regret… Lost in shuffles it will not pass easily,if it continues to exploit moving on while expedient in some minds, it is just more appetite for the same lust.

Normal people stay close to your vulnerables. We have no simple platitudes for you today. Good luck! Just signs us out of here. We hope you do create your own luck though. Good night…

That bridge is a bridge too far, when it’s pillars support such things.

Wedding up…

Canadian snowboarder champ. Now chump.

International crime, a wedge between us and the United States.

More than one Olympic life went crazy after. The dynamic of young people getting together sometimes goes awry. Better luck next time.

Cull stayed

Ostriches are raised for meat, feathers and eggs and are commercial. However these bunch of hostages in the news of late were going away from that and we’re used for tourism. Coming endeared to some keepers. Wouldn’t have been, if it was just for meat.

Avian flu

This is a very serious condition that affects foul and gets into people it can be fatal to people and the closer they are the bigger population areas and more of a risk.

The cull that was ordered by the authorities has been stayed and there may be a presentation between the parties at the Supreme Court of Canada and there is a controversy over testing the remaining birds, 300 out of a possible 450 that had contacted the avian flu and are under scrutiny.

H5N1

The virus involved is H5N1, and could be a particularly concern at the start of the flu season and respiratory illness that could accompany it.

So, has anybody ever asked you? Did you notice that  a formation of geese is usually longer on one side than the other, and asked yourself, why is that?

The reply is it’s “there are more geese on that side.”

So truth and reconciliation day begins with what is obvious first. The contentious next, then the punchline is  “more work will be more productive than more obvious discoveries.”

Nicola River System

The Nicola River system, located in the Thompson-Nicola region of British Columbia, is a vital watershed for several species of Pacific salmon. The annual salmon runs are not only a spectacular natural event but also a crucial part of the ecosystem and hold deep cultural significance for local First Nations.The Salmon SpeciesThe Nicola River and its tributaries support runs of several salmon species, including: * Chinook Salmon: Considered a prized species, Chinook are one of the largest and most sought-after salmon. * Coho Salmon: These are known for being a bit more elusive, which makes them a challenge for anglers. * Pink Salmon: Pink salmon are the smallest species and are known for the distinctive hump that develops on the back of the males during their spawning migration. * Sockeye Salmon: Although their presence has been less consistent in recent years, sockeye were historically a significant part of the Nicola system.The timing of the salmon runs can vary by species, but generally, the main runs occur in the late summer and early fall, as the fish make their incredible journey from the ocean to their natal spawning grounds.Environmental ChallengesThe health of the salmon runs in the Nicola River is a significant concern due to various environmental pressures. The Thompson-Nicola region is particularly susceptible to the effects of climate change, which has led to: * Drought: Lower-than-average snowpack and reduced summer rainfall can lead to low stream flows and higher water temperatures. This can trap fish in isolated pools, increase their vulnerability to predators, and cause a loss of critical habitat. * Wildfires: The increasing frequency and severity of wildfires can damage the watershed, leading to increased sediment runoff that can smother salmon eggs and alter the river’s habitat.These factors, combined with historical impacts from logging and water withdrawals for agriculture, pose a serious threat to the persistence and recovery of salmon populations.Cultural SignificanceFor the First Nations of the Nicola Valley, particularly the Nlaka’pamux and Secwepemc peoples, salmon are far more than just a food source. Salmon are an integral part of their identity, culture, and social structure. * Sustenance and Trade: For thousands of years, salmon have been a foundational food source and a key item for trade, sustaining large and vibrant communities. * Spiritual and Cultural Connection: In many traditional beliefs, salmon are considered gift-bearing relatives and are treated with immense respect. The return of the salmon each year is a powerful symbol of life, endurance, and the cyclical nature of the world. Traditional stories, songs, and ceremonies celebrate this deep connection. * Stewardship: Indigenous knowledge and traditional practices have historically played a vital role in managing and protecting the salmon populations. This includes using methods like dipnetting and establishing agreements between communities to ensure the sustainability of the resource for all.Efforts are underway, often led by First Nations communities and conservation groups, to address the challenges facing the Nicola watershed and its salmon. These initiatives focus on habitat restoration, sustainable water management, and integrated decision-making to protect this irreplaceable resource for future generations.

Mallards matter

Mallard ducks are the most prevalent around our place, our neck of the woods here in Merritt, British Columbia. We love our Mallard ducks.

The local naturalist club will begin their regular weekend fall and winter schedule on the 18th. Their meetings are generally most months on the third Thursday at 7:00 at the Nicola Valley institute of technology, top of the hill Belshaw Avenue in Merritt.

TGIF- construction

Bringing a construction project to completion is a complex process that involves several key stages, each with its own set of challenges and goals. While the specific steps can vary depending on the size and type of project, the general process can be broken down into the following phases:
1. Conception and Design: This is the initial stage where the project’s vision is created. It involves defining the project’s purpose, scope, and feasibility. The owner works with architects and engineers to create the design, which includes detailed blueprints and specifications. During this phase, a business case and feasibility study are often conducted to ensure the project is viable.
2. Pre-construction and Procurement: Once the design is finalized, the focus shifts to planning for the actual construction. This is where the construction team develops a detailed plan, including budgets, schedules, and a strategy for how the building will be constructed. This phase also involves procurement, which is the process of selecting and hiring the necessary contractors, subcontractors, and suppliers. Permits and approvals from local authorities are also secured during this time.
3. Construction: This is the physical phase of the project, where the actual building takes shape. It begins with site preparation and excavation, followed by laying the foundation, framing, and building the structural elements. This stage also includes the installation of major systems like plumbing, electrical, and HVAC. Throughout this phase, a project manager oversees the work, manages the schedule and budget, and ensures that safety protocols are followed.
4. Post-Construction and Close-Out: The final stage of the project involves bringing everything to a close and preparing for the handover to the owner. This includes:
* Final Inspections and Walk-throughs: Thorough inspections are conducted to ensure all work meets quality standards and is completed according to the plans. This is also when the project team and client do a final walk-through to identify any last-minute issues or “punch list” items that need to be addressed.
* Documentation and Paperwork: All necessary documents, including manuals, warranties, and “as-built” drawings (which show the final state of the building as constructed), are gathered and organized.
* Handover: The project is formally handed over to the client. This typically includes a meeting to review all documentation and transfer keys and other essential items.
* Insurance Changes: The construction insurance is changed to a permanent property insurance policy.
A successful construction project relies on a clear plan, effective communication, and a strong partnership between all parties involved, including the owner, architects, engineers, and contractors.

Good luck it’s not easy…

Mallard Ducks: Habitats, Behaviors, and Hunting Debate

Fauna

Mallard Duck BCs 🦆

Mallard Ducks and Their Presence in British ColumbiaMallards are the most widespread and abundant dabbling duck in Canada, found in almost any freshwater habitat. In British Columbia, they are a significant part of the waterfowl population, particularly along the Pacific coast and in the interior plateaus. The population of mallards in western Canada, which includes B.C., has been considered “secure” and “at an acceptable level” for some time. They are found in high concentrations in the lower Fraser Valley and are a prominent resident species in the interior of the province, with populations increasing in some areas.While there isn’t specific data for the mallard population in the immediate Merritt, BC area, the birds are known to be part of the general interior population, which winters in the warmer coastal regions and returns to breed in the interior, following major river systems.Interesting Mallard BehaviorsMallards exhibit some fascinating behaviors, including brood amalgamation, which is the adoption of ducklings by a hen who isn’t their biological mother. This can occur in a few ways: * Pre-hatch Brood Amalgamation (Brood Parasitism): A female lays her eggs in another female’s nest. The host female then incubates and cares for the eggs as if they were her own. This behavior is more frequent in areas with high nest densities. * Post-hatch Brood Amalgamation: This is when a hen with a brood takes in ducklings from another family. This can happen for various reasons, such as when a mother loses her brood and joins another, or when a hen’s ducklings get separated and are accepted by a different mother. Mallard ducklings can be adopted by a hen of a different brood, as the hen will usually accept any duckling that is peeping nearby.These adoptions, especially in crowded populations, can lead to very large “combined broods.”The Debate on Sport Hunting MallardsThe question of whether mallards should be sport-hunted is complex and involves arguments about conservation, ethics, and the role of hunting in wildlife management.Arguments in favor of hunting often include: * Population Management: Proponents argue that hunting is a tool to manage and maintain healthy wildlife populations. Mallards are not considered an at-risk species, and regulated hunting ensures their numbers remain stable and do not exceed the carrying capacity of their habitat. * Conservation Funding: Hunters are a major source of funding for wildlife conservation through the purchase of licenses and stamps. In Canada, a federal Migratory Game Bird Hunting Permit and a Canadian Wildlife Habitat Conservation Stamp are required to hunt migratory birds, and the revenue from these goes directly to conservation efforts. * Tradition and Recreation: For many, hunting is a long-standing tradition and a way to connect with nature and source food. Hunters often express a deep respect for the animals they pursue.Arguments against hunting often raise concerns about: * Genetic Integrity: Recent genetic research has shown that some wild mallard populations, particularly in the eastern United States, have a significant amount of genetic material from game-farm birds. This is a result of releasing farm-raised mallards for hunting. Critics argue that this dilutes the wild population’s gene pool and may introduce less-efficient foraging and migratory traits, potentially affecting their long-term survival. * Ethical Considerations: Some people question the ethics of hunting, especially for sport. They may argue that it’s unnecessary to kill animals for recreation when food can be obtained in other ways. * Environmental Impact: While hunting is regulated, some critics are concerned about potential negative environmental impacts, such as the use of lead shot in the past (which is now prohibited for migratory birds in B.C.) and the overall disturbance to wildlife.In British Columbia, mallards are a regulated migratory game bird, and hunters must adhere to specific regulations, including daily bag and possession limits and the use of non-toxic shot. The fact that mallards are hunted is based on the premise that their population is large and healthy enough to sustain a harvest without negatively impacting the species as a whole.

Greenland puddle

AKA Cold Blob

Well, it’s complicated. While a cooler spot might sound good in a warming world, the cold blob is a sign that major ocean currents are changing. That could have big impacts on weather patterns and sea levels around the globe. Scientists are still studying it to understand the full effects.

Tilt of the earth?

That’s a great question! The Milankovitch cycles do play a role in Earth’s long-term climate patterns, but the cooling of the cold blob is happening much faster than those cycles would predict. Scientists believe it’s primarily driven by the melting of the Greenland ice sheet and its impact on ocean currents.

Fish return

Editor’s note: The government of British Columbia opened a recreational fishing season on returning salmon in the Fraser River on the 22nd of August 2025, this abundance of return is being credited to some cooler water by some sources. This brief opening is 11 Days ending on September 1st 2025. Many sources are  lined up to take credit. In our view it may be a result of the rest the environment got during COVID.

Ghost

Ouch that hurt

Drama is a thing worth mitigating

So, wearing your feelings on your shirt sleeves?

Well…Ghost or Shun

You’re right, ghosting is similar to shunning, but there are some key differences. Shunning is a formal practice often used by religious groups as a form of discipline or punishment. Ghosting, on the other hand, is usually an informal act by an individual.

Is it Illegal

No, ghosting isn’t illegal, but it can definitely cause emotional distress. It’s not considered assault, but it can still be hurtful.

Hard on the personality

Yeah, ghosting can be really tough on some people. It can lead to feelings of rejection, confusion, and even lower self-esteem. In some cases, it can trigger anxiety or depression, especially if there were already some underlying mental health issues.

Is it a method appropriate

You are not likely to be the only judge on that. We believe that it could range from overbearing dominance to just simple withdrawal.  Honesty in all things always reduces complicated rhetoric.
