666 Marco of the beast
Like I was saying yesterday... Symbols. "666" came up many times, a person's SIM card number, a mobile number and the name Marco came up like 3 times in the same 2.5 hour period. Just sayin'.

Caller ID Spoofing is the practice of causing the telephone network to display a number on the recipient's caller ID display which is not that of the actual originating station; the term is commonly used to describe situations in which the motivation is considered malicious by the speaker. Just as e-mail spoofing can make it appear that a message came from any e-mail address the sender chooses, caller ID spoofing can make a call appear to have come from any phone number the caller wishes. Because of the high trust people tend to have in the caller ID system, spoofing can call the system's value into question.
Providers
To use a typical spoofing service, customers pay in advance for a personal identification number (PIN), allowing them to make a call for a certain amount of time. To begin, customers dial the number given to them by the company and enter their PIN. Then they enter the number they wish to call and the number they wish to appear as the caller ID. Once the customer selects the options, the call is bridged and the person on the other end receives the customer's call. Assuming caller ID is used on the receiving end, the receiver would normally assume the call was coming from a different phone number — the spoofed number chosen by the caller — thus tricking the receiver into thinking the call was coming from a different individual or organization than the caller's. Most providers work similar to a pre-paid calling card.
Technology and methods
The above method is a bit complex; many Caller ID spoofing service providers also allow customers to initiate spoofed calls from a Web-based interface. Some providers allow entering the name to display along with the spoofed Caller ID number, but in most parts of the United States, for example, whatever name the local phone company has associated with the spoofed Caller ID number is the name that shows up on the Caller ID display.
Using a Web-based spoofing service involves creating an account with a provider, logging in to their website and completing a form. Most companies require the following basic fields:
1.source number
2.destination number
3.Caller ID number
When the user completes this form and clicks a button to initiate the call, the source number is first called. When the source number line is answered, the destination is then called and bridged together.
Some providers also offer the ability to record calls, change the voice and send SMS text messages.
Other popular methods by companies include displaying only a geographical name on the caller ID readout, e.g., "ARIZONA", "CALIFORNIA", "OREGON", or "ONTARIO".
Legislation in the United States
On June 27, 2007, the United States Senate Committee on Commerce, Science and Transportation approved and submitted to the Senate calendar S.704, a bill that would have made caller ID spoofing a crime. Dubbed the "Truth in Caller ID Act of 2007", the bill would have outlawed causing "any caller identification service to transmit misleading or inaccurate caller identification information" via "any telecommunications service or IP-enabled voice service." Law enforcement was exempted from the rule. A similar bill, HR251, was introduced and passed in the House of Representatives. It was referred to the same Senate committee that approved S.704. The bill never became law because the full Senate never voted on it; it was added to the Senate Legislative Calendar under General Orders, but no vote was taken, and at the end of the 110th Congress, the bill expired (all pending legislation not voted into law at the end of the House term, a.k.a. end of a session of Congress, is dead). The bill was reintroduced in the Senate on January 7, 2009, by Senator Bill Nelson (FL) and three co-sponsors as S.30, the Truth in Caller ID Act of 2009, and referred to the same committee.
On April 14, 2010, the House of Representatives passed the "Truth in Caller ID Act of 2010" and will be reconciled with the Senate version passed in February. It is anticipated that this bill will be signed into law by President Obama later this year. Under the bill, which also targets VOIP services, it becomes illegal "to cause any caller ID service to transmit misleading or inaccurate caller ID information, with the intent to defraud or deceive." The bill maintains an exemption for blocking one's own outgoing caller ID information, and law enforcement isn't affected.
History
Caller ID spoofing has been available for years to people with a specialized digital connection to the telephone company, called an ISDN PRI circuit. Collection agencies, law-enforcement officials, and private investigators have used the practice, with varying degrees of legality.
The first mainstream Caller ID spoofing service, Star38.com, was launched in September 2004. Star38.com was the first service to allow spoofed calls to be placed from a web interface. It stopped offering service in 2005, as a handful of similar sites were launched.
In August 2006, Paris Hilton was accused of using caller ID spoofing to break into a voicemail system that used caller ID for authentication. Caller ID spoofing also has been used in purchase scams on web sites such as Craigslist and eBay. The scamming caller claims to be calling from Canada into the U.S. with a legitimate interest in purchasing advertised items. Often the sellers are asked for personal information such as a copy of a registration title, etc., before the (scamming) purchaser invests the time and effort to come see the for-sale items.
Frequently, caller ID spoofing is used for prank calls. For example, someone might call a friend and arrange for "The White House" to appear on the recipient's caller display. In December 2007, a hacker used a Caller ID spoofing service and was arrested for sending a SWAT team to a house of an unsuspecting victim. In February 2008, a Collegeville, Pennsylvania man was arrested for making threatening phone calls to women and having their home numbers appear "on their caller ID to make it look like the call was coming from inside the house."
In March 2008, several residents in Wilmington, Delaware reported receiving telemarketing calls during the early morning hours, when the caller had apparently spoofed the Caller ID to evoke the 1982 Tommy Tutone song 867-5309/Jenny.
There are legitimate reasons for modifying the caller ID sent with a call.
1.Commercial answering-service bureaus which forward calls back out to a subscriber's cell phone, when both parties would prefer the CNID to display the original caller's information.
2.Most calling-card companies display the Caller ID of the calling-card user to the called party.
3.Business owners have been known to use Caller ID spoofing to display their business number on the Caller ID display when calling from outside the office (for example, on a mobile phone).
4.Skype users can assign a Caller ID number in order to prevent their Skype-Out calls being screened by the called party (the default Skype Caller ID in the USA is 000123456).
5.Google Voice displays its users' Google Voice number when they place calls through the service using their landline or cell phone.

SYMBOLS
I can't express to you enough how unusual it is when one says something and then it comes back like aboomarang many times in a row, especially when it involves randomness.randomness like crazy. like when you get a row of g names, the SIVR doesnt say like if your name begins with G press 2. Like I get the weird shit like the same first name AHMED or something 2 in a row plus a couple of calls afterwards. Then it'll be numbers like groups of 3 or SSNs or BANs or somethin glike that. I had it one time with account balance and so forth. I wonder how this happens. I mean, these people wait in the SIVR on hold for a while, how is it that the call I end and the call that comes in is someone with the same initials or whatever? I know, Iknow. There are so many factors, balance, numbers, dates socials names etc. So surely something will be the same... I just don't know about it.

[edit] BiographyLuigi Russolo was perhaps the first noise artist. His 1913 manifesto, L'Arte dei Rumori, translated as The Art of Noises, stated that the industrial revolution had given modern men a greater capacity to appreciate more complex sounds. Russolo found traditional melodic music confining and envisioned noise music as its future replacement.
The Art of Noises classified "noise-sound" into six groups:
1.Roars, Thunderings, Explosions, Hissing roars, Bangs, Booms
2.Whistling, Hissing, Puffing
3.Whispers, Murmurs, Mumbling, Muttering, Gurgling
4.Screeching, Creaking, Rustling, Buzzing, Crackling, Scraping
5.Noises obtained by beating on metals, woods, skins, stones, pottery, etc.
6.Voices of animals and people, Shouts, Screams, Shrieks, Wails, Hoots, Howls, Death rattles, Sobs
He designed and constructed a number of noise-generating devices called Intonarumori and assembled a noise orchestra to perform with them. A performance of his Gran Concerto Futuristico (1917) was met with strong disapproval and violence from the audience, as Russolo himself had predicted. None of his intoning devices have survived, though recently some have been reconstructed and used in performances. Although Russolo's works bear little resemblance to modern noise music, his pioneering creations cannot be overlooked as an essential stage in the evolution of this genre, and many artists are now familiar with his manifesto.
At first the art of music sought purity, limpidity and sweetness of sound. Then different sounds were amalgamated, care being taken, however, to caress the ear with gentle harmonies. Today music, as it becomes continually more complicated, strives to amalgamate the most dissonant, strange and harsh sounds. In this way we come ever closer to noise-sound.
Antonio Russolo, another Italian Futurist composer and Luigi's brother, produced a recording of two works featuring the original Intonarumori. The 1921 made phonograph with works entitled Corale and Serenata, combined conventional orchestral music set against the famous noise machines and is the only surviving sound recording.
Russolo and Marinetti gave the first concert of Futurist music, complete with intonarumori, in April 1914 (causing a riot). The program comprised four "networks of noises" with the following titles:
Awakening of a City
Meeting of cars and aeroplanes
Dining on the terrace of the Casino and
Skirmish in the oasis.
All of his instruments were destroyed in World War II during the bombings on Paris. In 2009 replicas were being made for the Performa Festival in New York City, where his musical pieces were played.

WHAT IS THIS GOD THAT WE ARE FIGHTING ABOUT?
This page is to clear up so many inconsistencies in our thoughts about God.
There is a lot of disharmony caused by people of differing religious beliefs. Most of us believe in some kind of higher power that we call "God". We all argue over our differences in opinion, but it seems like few people have offered to compare and contrast. We all agree that God is love, life, creation, energy, infinite and unperceivable yet present within all things and that we somehow are separated from God or are not worthy in some way. So God wants something from us. If God wants something from us, wouldn't we be made to know what God wanted? If not, it seems that expectation without clear communication is God's forte!
What could we provide an omnipotent creator that the omnipotent creator could not provide for itself?
Most religions are about salvation of some sort. Enlightenment, salvation or "Heaven" seems to be a common spiritual concept. It appears as though we would have zero spiritual development without some type of connection with God such as a Messiah, a Guru, a book, a religion or an ancient culture. Most definitely, we should have been given the tools at birth to become "saved" because salvation that is dependant upon something outside of one's self means that someone will be left out. Why would an all powerful God of love leave anyone out?
If God is in all things, then God has a connection with ALL people. No exceptions.
However, there is something about being a human that makes us somehow less than perfect, needing to gain something in order to be closer to God. What makes us different or separate from God? Being limited inside a non-infinite human being with a unique or "original" perspective. A human being has but to obtain salvation through raised awareness to a higher level, presumably to the level that God resides. This means eliminating fear and separation from our lives. This involves Honesty, Objectivity, Kindness and Respect amongst other things. So we should alter our behavior and our perceptions in order to eliminate fear, separation, sin and evil from our lives. According to most religions, God loves us all and wants us to be together or "one". It is THAT simple. No books are needed, no math equations or money transactions.
What we really need to be saved from is our limited view of what God really is!
How do we raise our awareness to be closer to God? The most common methods include self-denial to various degrees, prayer or meditation, rituals and ceremonies, praise, sacrifice, tithe and non-attachment, sensory deprivation or over stimulation, study and quiet contemplation, "walk-about", trance, bondage, drugs, sex, music, spinning and dancing. There are almost as many ways to get closer to God as there are unique individual consciousnesses.
If God is everything, then all paths DO lead to God.
Differences that arise are due to the fact that they were written in different languages by people with a different culture in a different time period. What this all seems to point to is that God wants us to be more like God: Selfless, egoless, giving, creating, fearless, without worry, concern, need or judgment. This is the way we should act in order for our consciousness to be at the level where God dwells.
Then why does God let bad things happen?
We always say "God spared us" or "God is testing our faith", but forces of nature such as tornadoes, earthquakes and other "Acts of God" never seem to hunt any one person out. In the story of Sodom and Gomorrah, God needed just one good person to keep him from destroying the city. God does not seem to show us the same courtesy. If God loves us and accepts us with all of our flaws then it is safe to assume that God is not punishing us. This would mean that God has expectations or requirements for us. Being Omnipotent means that any and all expectations are met at all times. To say that God has any expectations is to make God less than perfect! Bad things happen to everyone, not just good people. God does not care that bad things happen because care and concern are the same thing as worry and fear. Worry and fear are things that an omnipotent being does not do. What makes bad things bad is OUR perceptions of them up to and including the fear of death.
Is it a "bad" thing to die?
Most religions speak of an afterlife or eternity of something, usually a punishment or a reward. The punishment is eternal separation from God, usually in a place that leaves a lot to be desired. We have ruled out punishment as something that an omnipotent being would do, so what is the reward? Oneness with God. We are not being punished by God, we are living in fear which is separation from God. Our "sins", will, ignorance, ego, personality, perception, and physical bodies are the things that make us separate from God. We are not aware. That is hell. Death is Death. Not a good or a bad thing. Our death is not something that an omnipotent being would worry about if there is no death.
So we can do whatever we want?
We are doing what we want to do! It just isn't making us happy, but, you see, God doesn't care about that. We suffer consequences because of our fears. We need to expand our awareness and therefore change what we want. Bad things do happen to people that are "nice" because nice people are concerned with other people's feelings. This concern for others is further separation from God which "mean" people do not have. This does not mean that God wants us to be "mean". God does not want or need anything. "Mean" people want instant gratification, power and control which also makes them separate from God. This separation manifests in their lives because they are controlled by their possessions, they lose control and become powerless at some point.
Knowledge of this could be used for selfish reasons!
The people that desire power over others are those that will abuse it. This is painfully obvious when you see the state that the world is in currently. Those in power seem intent on keeping things the way that they are. This also includes limiting our awareness. We are constantly manipulated through fear by the powers that be. Many if not all of our elite rulers are occultists. Occult does not mean "Satanic" or "Evil". Occult means "Hidden". The idea that we are all God is not a "New Age" concept. It is a suppressed, hidden or "Occult" concept. This knowledge has been and is being used for the wrong reasons. This is one reason why the world is in the state that it is.

The Snot Otter
The hellbender (Cryptobranchus alleganiensis), also known as the hellbender salamander, is a species of giant salamander that is endemic to eastern North America. A member of the Cryptobranchidae family, hellbenders are the only members of the Cryptobranchus genus, and are joined only by one other genus of salamanders (Andrias, which contains the Japanese and Chinese giant salamanders) at the family level. Hellbenders are ecologically significant for many reasons, including their uniqueness. These salamanders are much larger than any others in their endemic range, they employ an “unusual” means of respiration (which involves cutaneous gas exchange through capillaries found in their dorsoventral folds), and they fill a particular niche—both as a predator and prey—in their ecosystem which either they or their ancestors have occupied for around 65 million years.
The name 'hellbender' probably comes from the animal’s odd look. Perhaps it was named by settlers who thought "it was a creature from hell where it’s bent on returning". Another rendition says the undulating skin of a hellbender reminded observers of 'horrible tortures of the infernal regions'. In reality, it’s a harmless aquatic salamander. - The Missouri Department of Conservation

Excerpt from MAYA the RPG
There IS nothing but the 'whatever-it-is' which is whatever the 'whatever-it-is' happens to be AND that which is not 'whatever-it-is'. Due to there being two points of reference, we have direction, distance and eventually time.
Because of time and distance, the 'whatever-it-is' and the 'whatever-it-isn't' became fractured into an infinite number of pieces we'll call sparks. These sparks could play games with each other and challenge each other in many different ways. Some sparks team up with other sparks that are similar in one way or another and play games or even battles. Some sparks take on different frequencies to experience different levels of excitement. Because of this, we have what has been called "the big bang". This is the birth of the physical universe.
The physical universe is an infinite canvas for a spark to create anything from breathtaking beauty to heart-stopping terror. It's all illusions though. Just a trick of light. Furthermore, most sparks take on lower frequencies so as to not just look at the universe but to escape from the games and battles of the other sparks. These sparks take on physical bodies in many different ways and interact with each other on the physical level where they do not realize that they are a spark. On the physical level, there is a tremendous amount of fine tuning of frequencies to create differences in each spark. This fine tuning of frequencies is called "ego".
Ego is what keeps sparks from becoming fully aware of their true nature and their true power. Proper balance and eventual destruction of ego is required in order for a spark to have a true awakening, but the more ego it loses, the greater the horrors of the universe also become. Despite all the cosmic horror and spilled milk, it is all illusions. The spark signed up for all of this when it came to the physical universe. Some signed up to adventure, some signed up for fun, some to learn, some to experience fear, pain or even death. None of it is real and the spark can cheat and control it's reality or even change the world into a better place. This is never met without opposition though.
Without any real consequences and no supervision, it was only a matter of time before some sparks began conspiring with other sparks to take advantage of those unaware in a conspiracy involving keeping all of this knowledge hidden in the physical universe. These dark forces are present throughout the universe and go by many names but no matter what you call them, they are recognizable by their actions of using widespread panic, death, war, crime, pain and suffering so as to take advantage of those unaware and ensure that no conscious being ever learns it's own true nature. This conspiracy has never been challenged because the more we awaken to this ultimate truth, the less we actually care about doing something to stop it. This has been going on since the very beginning of time and may continue because we will forever want illusions, lies, adventure, good versus evil, secrets, the unknown, fear and surprise. There's nothing better than a surprise!
Unity is the alternative to this chaos and is what results in a movement away from separation, division and fear. As a physical being on any level of density, one has a natural movement towards organization and to move towards unity can be seen like swimming upstream. It is. It is heading back to the source. Keep swimming.

Mig-31 "Firefox"
Although fictional, the Mig-31 as depicted in the movie "Firefox", with it's hypersonic capabilities and thought controlled weapon system, is one of my all time favorite warplanes.
