The Story of The Birds and The Bombs

The spaceship had just landed under the deck. They had returned from their mission to the specified time. They arrived and the weapons auto fired. The target was destroyed. The returned to the present. 

They went upstairs to debrief the mission. Some beeps were heard from the electronic machine. 

They told the story of the birds and the bombs. It was a story for a movie. 

If it was true there would be too many casualties. The earth was what needed to be saved at the specified time and year. 

They had arrived and done the job. 

That’s all that mattered. They showed up at the right time. 

So does that mean in the future will the earth be threatened. It’s possible but we have a solution. The solution does not mean the cause will happen. We weren’t physically traveling. 

We didn’t drop any anchors in the No Time Theoretical. 

This is beyond physics. It isn’t a whimsy. 

But it is a whimsical tale through real life and the avoidance of death. 

What follows is the true story of operation TT. 

This op is one for the history books. When it is declassified someday, many documentaries and movies will be based around its surrounding circumstances. 

In the end it wasn’t about oil. It was about saving the earth and having tangible proof of it. Proof involves a witness. Whether the witness is in person or ghost viper mode doesn’t matter. 

Ghost viper mode is sufficient as this is what most non humans appear as when they travel without moving physically. 

Often this can be seen in visual hallucinations people have. Some confuse this for believing someone is a nonhuman or nonhuman human hybrid. 

Some say peace was made in New Miami when The General signed the order to make peace with the robots. I call them robots because although they look and feel human, they never die and don’t reincarnate in any planes. To achieve that they would need the ability to monkey talk with God. Robots can monkey talk but they can’t monkey talk with God. Only priests of actual religions people believe in en mass and other Gods can talk to God in the Ethereal Plane. 

Humans can enter the Ethereal Plane using various methods. They have to abide by the rules set forth by their Gods however. The same is true for non robot non humans. 

Non robot non humans communicate using monkey talk. This is commonly referred to as speaking without words. When someone does this to a human, it confuses the human being talked to if the one doing the monkey talking is physically present and speaking using real words at the same time. 

This method of attacking the mind can be used when playing games such as chess. 

The spaceship used in the mission was created after years spent in the Ethereal Plane. It cannot be duplicated. The spaceship is the easy part of the machine. The Time Machine is the hard part. It cannot be replicated or duplicated. It is one of a kind in the universe and is also a trap for any other time machines. In effect it’s the one and done for time travel. 

We never have to worry about time travelers ever again. 

As for the bombs. The birds saved them and did their jiggy dance with one eyebrow raised like the French footballer. 

World Cup

I have to say Mbappe is my favorite player. The World Cup is something I was fascinated by because it was always in foreign countries except for 1994. I’ve always been a soccer player. I never have been a fan of just watching soccer. I think it’s a much more fun game to play than watch. Football is the opposite. 

I never played football other than just for fun without real tackling though. 

One thing with soccer is that there’s a lot of diving. When a player thinks they might be able to get a foul, they go to the ground. How is this a good thing? They are using fouls to stop the play. 

My second favorite player is Jude Bellingham. I think England has a legitimate shot to win the World Cup this year. I like England but they also do a lot of flopping. 

I do enjoy playing FIFA on PlayStation 5. It’s a very fun game. I was the Manager for Tottenham Spurs and got to know Harry Kane. He’s my fourth favorite player. 

Messi is my third favorite player. He is isn’t my favorite because I didn’t really watch his whole career. Most European soccer matches are played at night in the USA. It’s hard to follow the matches so I don’t really watch pro European soccer. 

My favorite player all time in Ronaldo from Brazil. I remember watching the World Cup that Brazil team won. I bought all the cards of my favorite Brazil players I could find. Ronaldinho is my second favorite player all time. 

I wonder if Argentina will be the Brazil of this new generation. Those of us who grew up in the 90s think of Brazil as our second team other than our home country. I think the younger generations view Messi and Argentina that way. It will be interesting if they still show up with Messi shirts after he retires. 

I like to think of Brazil as being the Michael Jordan Chicago Bulls of soccer. Brazil’s Ronaldo was the Michael Jordan of that era. 

Ronaldinho was like the Scottie Pippen who was as good if not better than Michael Jordan i.e. Ronaldo. 

France vs England in the World Cup Final is my prediction. Bellingham vs Mbappe is what I want to see. 

True story.

I just had four blondes. I was thinking of where to start. The godfather will be a billionaire and then more. We need that. There is a purpose to this after all. I was making the mistake of giving my ideas to an artificial intelligence computer by allowing it to dictate what I wrote. In the end I had to shit check it myself. I did it manually. This is the story of how Bumblebee. The intelligence that can monkey talk came to be. 

The story is in a book called Bumblebee. It’s available on the internet for sale. The internet was once a free place. But it got replaced by apps and website all using the same format. All having ads still. In fact the whole thing became a giant ad. Even the news was an ad. Most news sites required payment or make you look at ads. 

Why all the advertising? Just give the information. Websites are free. You have to pay for the hosting but what else is the problem that is only remedied with ads. 

Oh, no one wants to work for free. No one wants to write stories for a website for free. 

I fear what will happen will be disastrous. The fictional world of money has become something worse than could have ever been imagined. There is now artificial money not back by anything that is being added to the economy. As a result the quality of products and services has gone down. 

Look at the World Cup. It looks mediocre. Look at a baseball game. Why are there a bunch of guys with their shirts off in the stands? 

What has happened to being cool? Some things are not cool. Some things are cool. Some things are always cool. Cookies is the thing I’m thinking about. I think the best cookie might be the Chips Ahoy chocolate chip cookie. I’m talking in terms of mass produced cookies. Keebler chocolate fudge is also good. But I would put it second. I’m about to do a taste test. 

I’m watching the World Cup. They reversed Balogun’s red card. There was a segment where they were interviewing these former U.S. players about it, and they were all happy about it. The only one who was upset was Alexi Lalas. I before had thought he was kind of an airhead, but he seems to be the only one with morals who understands if this happened to another team, we would be outraged. It’s interesting. It’s kind of a test to see if the United States is okay with corruption because literally President Donald Trump called FIFA to reverse the red card, and the games are being hosted in the United States of America. And Donald Trump is good friends with the FIFA president. So it’s definitely a big bunch of corruption going on.

Je regarde la Coupe du monde. Ils ont annulé le carton rouge de Balogun. Il y avait un reportage où ils interviewaient d’anciens joueurs de l’équipe nationale américaine à ce sujet, et ils étaient tous contents de cette décision. Le seul qui était mécontent, c’était Alexi Lalas. Avant, je pensais qu’il était un peu écervelé, mais il semble être le seul à avoir des principes et à comprendre que si la même chose était arrivée à une autre équipe, nous serions scandalisés.

C’est intéressant. C’est presque un test pour voir si les États-Unis acceptent la corruption, parce que le président Donald Trump a littéralement appelé la FIFA pour faire annuler le carton rouge, alors que les matchs se déroulent aux États-Unis. En plus, Donald Trump est un bon ami du président de la FIFA. Donc, il y a clairement beaucoup de corruption.
