…time we're going down and seeing a fourth, one fourth fills the screen. The approach factor is four. The songwriting career of John Lennon, the gulf crisis any process is describable by this wave. That is the incredible claim made by the angel that this…

…a limb and then let's cut the limb off. So what you do is you create this pseudo paranormal phenomenon, you get John Mitchell, Colin Andrews all these people to proclaim its weirdness and then you reveal that it's easily duplicated. That's one theory. In…
…is it exactly? What is the secretary of the interior referring to? He's referring to the gospels. No, in the revelation of st John this thing is laid out. It's very complex. Angels come and pour down diseases, oceans boil it takes a long time, there are…

…and that's very exciting. I mean a plane that can fly to orbit yeah yeah did you get into that at all with John Allen and the whole stick there, which is: I'm against any group that keeps secrets and georgifians keep secrets. I'm not against georgifians…

…John the baptist's role was to say to people: repent for the end is at hand. Well Terence is the local representative of the st John the baptist principle. You see he proves to us all the end is at hand by his novelty wave and then he engages us all…
…So at any rate we're nearing the end of an era. So there's a sense of an impending end, which is one element of st John the baptist's message. The other is a sense of repentance, a sense of awareness of what we've been doing and the fact this can't…
