From the Mouth of Boys

(Taking a break from serious stuff.)

Most every 2nd Sunday, we host a meal of soup with cheese-'n-mayo sandwiches (on homemade wheat bread) for a father and his three young sons: B.P.D.-age 11; B.L.D.-age 9; R.O.D-age 6. They are rural boys who go to school in a small town; and pray, as we have been told, for the day of the cheese-'n-mayo sandwiches.

Here are three examples from this Gen Alpha trio that might give us hope for the future of thought and critical thinking.

Sunday - Jan 25, 2026
BPD-11 and BLD-9 were admiring their towering creation of magnetic tiles with runways and loops for descending balls. BLD (the boy with hands on everything mechanical or that has a knob or button or lever or clasp or switch or ...) was immensely pleased with their joint mechanical genius. In self-praising their brilliance, he casually ended with: "A mechanical mind can fix anything — except a broken heart." Without further commentary, he immediately moved on with improving their creation.
[Could there be a better observation about the limits of science?]

ROD-6: "Mom says I talk like an adult."
BPD-11: "That's because since you were two or three you sat in Mom's salon and listened for hours to all the ladies talk."
[Until BPD's observation, we had wondered but never discerned this contributing reason why ROD-6 often has advanced vocabulary and expression.]

Sunday - Jan 11, 2026
ROD's question while helping with popping corn: "Do you know what the worst thing is if there were no cars?" (pause)
Me: (summary) "Well, I guess it might be harder to go places and carry heavy stuff. And the weather would matter. ..."
ROD-6: "No. It would be that the horses would poo and pee on the crosswalks and we'd have to always clean it up. With cars we don't have that. (slight pause, thinking) Except I guess cars have exhaust, so I guess that is like poo. And I guess if they have a gas or oil leak, that is like pee."

So you see, we still have thinkers and observers being born into this incredible world.

Hiroshima / Nagasaki Revisited?* [1945]

On this 80th Anniversary of Hiroshima (August 6) and Nagasaki (August 9), let us revisit the evidence as detailed in a recent publication (May 11, 2025) by Dr. Michael Palmer (Author), Dr. Franklin Stahl (Foreword), titled:

Hiroshima Revisited:

The evidence that napalm and mustard gas
helped fake the nuclear bombings¹

A summary of the book can be found at The Duke Report (Reference Library²), a portion of which reads:

Hiroshima Revisited by Michael Palmer, MD scrutinizes the prevailing narrative of the Hiroshima and Nagasaki bombings by systematically analyzing physical, medical, and historical evidence. Palmer constructs a detailed alternative chronology of events, exposing the mechanisms, motivations, and outcomes that shaped the public understanding of the so-called atomic age.

Unveiling the Historical Premise

Palmer asserts that the destruction witnessed in Hiroshima on August 6, 1945, and Nagasaki days later, resulted from an operation employing conventional weapons, incendiaries, and chemical agents, rather than nuclear devices. He traces the origins of the atomic narrative to a convergence of wartime secrecy, postwar propaganda, and selective presentation of scientific data. The book launches with a careful assessment of the timeline: the discovery of nuclear fission in 1938, the subsequent development of uranium enrichment technologies, and the ostensible Manhattan Project achievements.

He frames his inquiry by engaging the doubts voiced by early nuclear physicists such as Werner Heisenberg, who found the reported rapid progression from theory to a deployable atomic weapon highly implausible. Palmer investigates the pace of scientific progress within the Manhattan Project, referencing documented trial-and-error experiments, late-stage uncertainties in bomb design, and the technical obstacles to achieving bomb-grade uranium enrichment by 1945.

The Duke Report summary concludes with:

Enduring Impact and Call to Inquiry

Palmer concludes by challenging readers to approach historical narratives with skepticism and analytical rigor. He advocates for transparency, open debate, and the restoration of empirical inquiry in the assessment of major world events. He calls attention to the risks inherent in the uncritical acceptance of official stories and underscores the need for independent verification in science and history alike.

He presents Hiroshima Revisited as a catalyst for re-examining foundational stories of the modern era. The book stands as a detailed case study in the interplay of evidence, authority, and belief—a structural invitation to re-evaluate the history and meaning of the atomic age.

For anyone wishing to re-examine narratives and foundational stories, you will find The Duke Report³ and his Reference Library⁴ an unmatched resource.

The Babylon Cons

As we “wrap-up” this season of surfeit and spending, perhaps we should commit, in the coming year, to a serious investigation into the many cons—beyond this seasonal Santa-con—that Babylon (and her minions) have been and are inflicting upon us.

This Déjà Vu ~ Times blog and the Déjà Vu ~ Times II  blog¹ have already profiled many cons (by those pursuing power and gain)—with some cons being more devastating than others:

▪  psychotropic drugs	▪   capitalism2
▪  Darwinian evolution	▪  corporate share structure
▪  scientific supremacy	▪  debt and credit
▪  the Big Bang (TBB)	▪  space race
▪  scientific objectivity	▪  outer-space travel
▪  media objectivity	▪  advanced aliens / alien UFOs
▪  Ayn “objectivism”	▪  ascended masters / “angels of light”
▪  GMOs	▪  quantum-jumping
▪  atheism	▪  false flags
▪  snow mould	▪  and on and on

But there is another possible con that has recently surfaced that might prove to be one of the greatest cons of all time. The “unbelievable, crazy” question is: Have we been conned to believe that we live on the outside curvature of a spinning, revolving sphere that orbits the sun? Unbelievable as it may seem, the question is far from settled despite “globalists” who mock geocentric “Flat Earthers.”

Considering all the other deceptions that we have fallen heir to, could the wisest course be to contemplate and investigate this newest quest for truth in the manner these writers advise?³

King Solomon: He that answereth a matter before he heareth it, it is folly and shame unto him  (Old Testament | Proverbs 18:13).

William Paley(?)⁴: Men reject Christianity [and other things] from indolence and indifference, or contempt prior to examination; and their scepticism, not being originally the effect of patient and systematic investigation, their subsequent enquiries (if they deserve the name) are careless, superficial, and made rather with a view of confirming themselves in those opinions they have already imbibed, than with an earnest desire to discover and embrace Truth wherever she may be found.

[The above Paley(?) quote has apparently been condensed and attributed to various others as:] “There is a principle which is a bar against all information, which is proof against all arguments, and which cannot fail to keep a man in everlasting ignorance—that principle is contempt prior to investigation.” Or the variation: “Condemnation without investigation is the height of ignorance.” (Bold emphasis added in both.)

So if one wants to begin a 2016 adventure in observation, investigation, and thought about this possible GREATEST CON, one could begin with these (but as always using great discernment):

WHY the Great Flat Earth Deception in under 5 minutes (Time 4:57) at https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TJDDiDc2zyY

FLAT EARTH Clues Introduction by Mark K. Sargent at https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=T8-YdgU-CF4&list=PLltxIX4B8_URNUzDE2sXctnUAEXgEDDGn (Time: 12:32 minutes, plus 12 other segments of about equal length each; plus numerous other videos.)

BUT CONTRAST Sargent’s speculations with the work of ones like Eric Dubay:
   • Eric Dubay v Mark Sargent Flat earth (Time: 5:02) at https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lkSItm58rUA
   • Mark Sargent's Raging Shill Clues (Time: 27:52) at https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8SHeIPaNnmI
   • Eric Dubay Real Flat Earther Interview (Time: 1:06:27) at https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=G90A2kg1bWs

AND THEN run everyone through God’s Word. The need for discernment to ferret out distortions and deceptions cannot be overstated. See also, etc.:

Exploring The Flat Earth Controversy (a summary worth reading despite some typos and grammar errors) at https://thetruthandlight.wordpress.com/2015/06/20/2334/

The number of questioners is becoming endless; the number of YouTube videos exploding. Perhaps it is time—yeah, past time—to question everything within, around, and about Babylon.
