Current US deaths from COVID-19 now 96,19...Update. Current US deaths from COVID-19 now 96,195 and closing in on the big 100,000 predicted for June 1st weeks ago by the Center for Disease Control's computer model projections (btw, they use 12 different model's and go with the consensus). These models also predict that if social distancing and mask wearing is relaxed too soon, we could reach as much as 3,000 deaths per day. That's almost a 9/11's worth of deaths day after day after day.<br /><br />Another depressing detail has also emerged. They discovered that if Americans had starting wearing face masks just ONE week earlier it would have resulted in saving about 38,000 people's lives over time! Why didn't we start wearing them earlier? We were too busy laughing at our leader's jokes about the "Chinese Virus" and the "Kung Flu". 38,000 Americans aren't laughing about them now.<br /><br />All US states have now begun to start "opening up" again, but only with a lot of restrictions. Seems, however, that the Republican dominated states or "Red States" as they are called have the least restrictions and are in the greatest rush to "get back to normal". The governor of Texas, when told opening up too fast could result in more people over 60 getting infected and dying, said that grandparents "should be happy to die so their grandchildren can have jobs"! Another governor in Arizona has decided that he won't be releasing the state's figures for how many are dying in nursing homes. When asked why, he said it was "bad for business"! I think there are efforts quietly being made now to "cook the books" and not report all of the COVID-19 deaths so that the American people can be lulled into a false sense of safety that will then get them all out working and shopping again as soon as possible. If that's done too fast, the result could be a "second wave" that could be WORSE than the first one!<br /><br />This coming Monday, May 25th is Memorial Day in the US and a federal holiday that is set aside to honor the men and women who died while serving in the US military. This weekend is referred to as the "Memorial Day Weekend" and is the unofficial start of summer. People are used to going to beaches, shopping, and getting together for parties and outdoor barbecues. This, of course, has been made all the more difficult by the need to practice "social distancing" and wear face masks while in public or crowds. Americans are already starting to ignore these warning in some areas and it's expected that we'll see a sharp spike in new infections in the week or so after this weekend. Many don't realize yet that wearing a mask is really a way of showing respect for someone else's health because the mask can contain any virus in droplets that the wearer, infected without knowing it yet, might be spraying out when he or she sneezes, coughs, or even just talks. Many think if they have no symptoms that they are not infected. That is a false assumption that could cause someone else's death!<br /><br />Another expert said that this pandemic won't finally be over for another two years and only after about 60 to 70% of the world's population has been infected or vaccinated. They still don't know if prior infection or a vaccination will give one permanent immunity so he or she can't get infected again. People may have to be vaccinated every 3 to 6 months! <br /><br />The US Treasury says that there is the possibility that this pandemic may have caused PERMANENT damage to the US economy. Meanwhile, Trump wants to put the total blame on China and the WHO. He's also threatening to cut funding to any states that allow voting by mail. It was discovered that when voting by mail is allowed, it can double the number of votes cast and increases the number of Democrats who vote. That's bad for Trump whose popularity continues to slide in the polls.<br /><br /><br />Anonymous and PROUD of it!<br />Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4862207778089432835.post-31698362358023500392020-05-21T17:36:25.563+01:002020-05-21T17:36:25.563+01:00You can relax, cwforshort, because John has promis...You can relax, cwforshort, because John has promised to "reveal all" THIS very year!

Bessler was naturally drawn to the number 2 because his last name began with the letter B whose alphanumeric value is 2. In the numerical values he hides in his drawing he often requires one to either divide or multiply the alphanumerical values of certain letters by 2 to obtain the actual values he's hiding. <br /><br />@JC. Thanks for letting me know that was the fraktur letter N. That letter is the 14th letter of the alphabet and you can also get that value by subtracting the value of the Roman numeral V on the left side of the letter which is 5 from the alphanumeric value of that thin letter S wrapped around it which is 19 to get 19 - 5 = 14. What does that value represent? It might be the distance, 14 inches, from a lever's pivot to the point at its end where its weight was attached. More interesting to me is the pair of eyeglasses in this letter N's image which appear identical to those in the second DT portrait. Bessler even puts them on the left sides in both cases. I have the feeling Bessler was using this smaller letter's image to practice what he would be doing later in the much larger DT portraits!<br /><br />@Anon 22:26. Glad to read you noticing those eyeglasses helped convince you I wasn't "another nut case full of shat"! Many researching Bessler clues seem to totally ignore the fact that he was a numerologist. As such it's only natural that he would have hidden the secrets of his wheels using the methods of numerology, yet those researchers are usually completely blind to those methods and then wonder why they make no progress. Hopefully I can help open their eyes a little and get them to put on a pair of Bessler's eyeglasses so they can finally see all of the clues he left us.<br /><br />@Anon 03:52. I can assure you that I have not read Ken B's book although I have several friends who are constantly urging me to do so and I probably eventually will. They tell me he's a serious numerologist so I'm sure I'll find some of what he's written to be of interest. I never saw the image of that fraktur letter N I analyzed before early yesterday. You say he doesn't mention that letter's image in his book so he must have gotten his Kassel wheel spring values from other images he's analyzed. As you suggest I think this is a case of independent verification which increases the probability of the values determined for the springs being accurate. <br /><br />Sayer of SoothsAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4862207778089432835.post-83717057224007098462020-05-21T03:52:28.602+01:002020-05-21T03:52:28.602+01:00@ SoS.

For the Kassel wheel your numeralogy analysis says there were two springs on each lever with each attached 2 in. from a lever's pivot, each having a spring constant of 20 lbs./in., and each stretched 2 in. at the drum's 9 o'clock position. I also have Ken B's book and although he doesn't mention that decorated letter you analyzed, in his last chapter he has a giant chart that also gives the values he found for the Kassel wheel's springs. The values you found match his EXACTLY! Either you took his values and worked them into your "analysis" or you just provided independent verification of his analysis.

They don't rotate at the same speed, therefore each mechanism with a weight will progress around the wheel, and end up after enough rotations in front of the hole. Each mechanism will have it's turn infront of the hole, then progress around the wheel to find itself infront of the hole again. The number of rotations would depend on the amount each weight progresses around the wheel.<br /> If you try and apply your reasonning to another persons theory of how it could work, things don't add up. The hole goes around with the wheel because it is at a fixed place on the wheel.

There is a certain amount of self-aggrandisement and guess I’m guilty of it sometimes, but it isn’t what it seems to be to an onlooker. For myself, I get so excited when I break open another clue, successfully, I want to tell the world and yet I can’t for two reasons. Firstly I don’t want to give it all away for free, and secondly I have experienced many times the negative reactions to some clues I’ve posted. So I don’t intend to explain any more until I have the proof in the shape of a working wheel, but sometimes I cannot resist telling people thst I have deciphered so many clues I think I can reproduce the whee. But even now I find that the build is always more complex than I imagined it would be.<br /><br />JCJohn Collinshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13274781515636883957noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4862207778089432835.post-53167604638335182852020-05-20T16:34:19.764+01:002020-05-20T16:34:19.764+01:00No worries Richard, but I still can’t help.

I'm saying that starting from a conclusion as most do is no way to find anything. Accordingly you must campaign and argue your various points and beliefs and above all you must convince yourself before you will commit to the various laborious toils of building anything. Bessler is said to have built 100 and some odd "useless" machines so before his discovery he was a perpetual "notionist" just like anyone of us. My issue with you and so many in the community is the accolades and credits and co-self aggrandizement and the general "buttrubbery" that you engage in.<br /> Don't assume I'm attacking Bessler in any circumstance. I wholeheartedly believe he had a working device more so than anyone currently. If your codes and such are real then compare them to the mountain of thought experiments I have tried, then if we come to the same conclusion (which I have of recent reached) then I'll believe they are real.cwforshorthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16280018583323644543noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4862207778089432835.post-22207314383018779512020-05-20T15:40:11.782+01:002020-05-20T15:40:11.782+01:00This comment has been removed by the author.Stephen Gloriosohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12305514113840044382noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4862207778089432835.post-20115781797215993842020-05-20T15:24:38.955+01:002020-05-20T15:24:38.955+01:00Sorry John, I poorly worded my question.

If you look at that spiral carefully, you will see that it contains five complete numeral 2's stacked one on top of the other so that they are added together. Adding those five 2's together gives us the a value of 10 which is the value we seek. Now, finally, we can multiply this value of 10 by the value of the large thin numeral 2 and get 10 x 2 = 20. <br /><br />What does this value of 20 represent? I strongly suspect that it's the tension constant of a single spring used on a Kassel wheel's lever or 20 pounds per inch. If there were two such springs per lever that means the total tension constant for each lever in the Kassel wheel would have been 40 pounds per inch. It's also possible that the maximum stretch distance those springs each got as the wheel turned was 2 inches meaning that the maximum spring force applied to a lever in the Kassel wheel was 80 pounds which is a value we can also get by multiplying the previously gotten value of 8 by the value of 10 we got or 8 x 10 = 80. <br /><br />Where was a lever when it had this force applied to it? We need a clock symbol to tell us that, but there doesn't appear to be one. But wait! Look at the stork's bill. It can also represent the hour hand of a clock and looks like it's pointing toward 9 o'clock and also the spiral which represents a stretched spring. Most likely, Bessler is telling us here that a lever in his Kassel wheel had a maximum spring force applied to it by its two stretched springs of 80 pounds when the lever reached the drum's 9 o'clock location (assuming a clockwise rotating drum) and the two springs were each stretched 2 inches at that time.<br /><br />I've never seen the image of this decorative letter before (and I'm not even sure exactly what letter it is because I can't read fraktur German that well), but I think that it is almost as important as the "Toy Page" that everyone talks so much about. Like that page, it needs to be carefully studied. Bessler put a lot of work into it and for a good reason as I suggest here. It definitely should not be ignored, imo.<br /><br />Sayer of Sooths<br /><br />Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4862207778089432835.post-620686293649700672020-05-20T13:42:58.481+01:002020-05-20T13:42:58.481+01:00(Part 1 of 2)
Thanks for providing a link to that...(Part 1 of 2)<br /><br />Thanks for providing a link to that most interesting image, anon 08:42. Being a numerologist, it's various hidden meanings hit me like a lightning bolt between my eyes almost as soon as I saw it!<br /><br />First, as you rightly suggest, the stork's bill points to a letter B shaped section of the spiral in the center of the oversized decorative fraktur letter to let everyone know they are getting some important information from Bessler about his wheels in the symbolism of the letter. The information pertains to the Kassel wheel since we see Weissenstein Castle in the background where that wheel was constructed and a path or steps leading down to the letter.<br /><br />That spiral wrapped around the thin vertical staff in the center of the letter is a symbol for a stretched spring and was Bessler's way of telling the observant reader that his wheel needed springs to work and that he is going to give him some important information about those springs. The stork's bill is a symbol for a lever inside of the Kassel wheel and is pointing between two thick black curving parts of the large letter and also at the B shaped portion of the spiral. B being the second letter of the alphabet has an alphanumeric value of 2. I think that's Bessler's way of telling us that each lever had two springs attached to it. <br /><br />The diverging portions of the large fraktur letter on its left side form the letter V. The other portion of the letter on the right side along with the stork's two long thin almost vertical legs form three letter I's in a horizontal row. Put them together to get III. Next, combine that with the previous letter V to get VIII which is the Roman numeral with a value of 8. Most likely this means each of Bessler's one way wheels contained 8 levers. The stork's eye represents a lever's pivot and the top pointed end of the right black portion of the letter points to a spot on the stork's neck. This means that the springs were attached at a certain distance from a lever's pivot. How far? My guess would be 2 inches.<br /><br />There is what appears to be a large thin letter S that swirls up and around the large black left V shaped portion of the letter. That S is also a spring symbol. That big black circle at the top of the S represents the pupil of an eye. That was Bessler's way of telling the reader to very carefully use his eyes to study this decorative letter's symbolism. The bottom of the S has a larger dark but somewhat transparent circle on it and it is actually connected to another similar dark circle to its left by a short darkened crooked line. The two transparent circles represent lenses and with the crooked line acting like a bridge between them form a pair of eyeglasses and again this symbol, like the eyeglasses in the second DT portrait, is Bessler's way of telling us to carefully study the symbols in the oversized fraktur letter. With the addition of those eyeglasses to its bottom end, the letter S is transformed into a giant numeral 2 that has been written backwards to hide it! Notice that the bottom of the letters S and V cross each other and that cross or X symbol means a multiplication must be performed. Here Bessler tells us we must multiply some value by 2, but what value? <br /><br />(continued and concluded in Part 2 of 2)<br /><br />Sayer of SoothsAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4862207778089432835.post-54496206832590285702020-05-20T11:07:12.257+01:002020-05-20T11:07:12.257+01:00@Unknown.
