The Commandments

This blog deals with the 10 commandments as seen on the Shepherd's staff exhibit. Before that some notes on the divine names work. Then shop notes, a review of ongoing match dates and watch dates, finally a headline review.

Divine Names

Ryan continues to rework the markup that handles divine names in the BRB, TT and related scripture apps. In particular he is changing his internal markup so his markup itself can be easily used to track what Hebrew sources and target substitutions being used. This is a clever improvement in his work flow and a major quality improvement going forward.

Because so many of the existing references to divine names in the TT were done before this study was worked out, Ryan decided to zero out all previous divine name substitutions. He did this to force a sanity check of all divine name references across the entire manuscript.

Ryan is now going back across all divine name references and rechecking the work based on recent lessons dealing with divine names.

This reset fixes many accidental substitutions that showed up in the TT with recent divine name work. It is a tedious process that has been going on for a couple weeks. This is why there was no update of the apps last week. Ryan is also holding off a public release this week. He currently expects to return to his weekly scripture apps release cycle starting next week.

The Staff

Last week I showed pics on Telegram of the first 3d print of the shepherd's staff. This triggered a few design iterations and quite a bit of discussion, both of the staff itself and of the commandments that are written along the side of the staff.

These discussions were interesting enough that I wanted to do a blog on this subject, just for the record and so everyone reading the blog can see just how strange the commandments may be. Let me start with the text of the commandments themselves. Then work through references to them spread across the rest of the manuscript.

The Commandments

The link here is to Exodus 20 in the BRB. The filter tags need to be turned on in the options menus so you can see the text that was added to the commandments, likely by Ezra. The first 17 verses of that chapter cover the commandments themselves.

If you scroll down and survey the list of commandments you will see that the individual inspired commandments are usually just a couple of words. The commandments at the top, though, have many added words.

This difference in sentence length between the top and bottom of this text is what originally suggested to us that all the commandments were originally just short statements.

We set out to prove that idea when we first worked out the audit pattern. We wondered at the time if the audit would show all the commandments to be short. That is indeed what we found.

In terms of word substitutions, the divine name, Master in Aramaic, needed to be replaced with Joshua for the entire set of commandments to pass audit.

Remember that all letters are drawn on a grid. All letters are either 3 grid lines or 5 grid lines wide. There is also a kerning pattern so the letter pacing is irregular. In the end the commandments exactly fill 360 grid lines. This is the same number of grid lines as there are days in a common calendar year. It suggests this is the line width for eventual pages.

Daunting

The first lesson from this work was to see the amount of added text. As a percentage, the amount of inspired text is less than half of the given text in that passage. Worse, the inspired words are sprinkled within, so the general story of the inspired commandments are only loosely related to the story passed to us by history in that chapter.

The story that comes out of this audit/recovery work shows that the inspired form is effectively hidden inside a longer story. Most of the time we spent doing that recovery was not technical in terms of working the audit pattern. That was easy. We grappled with was what might the inspired core actually be? We did not expect such a minimal answer.

We were coping with the crime scene and getting so we could be comfortable with the answer that was appearing before our eyes.

The problem for widespread recovery work is that if this same level of editing was going on across the rest of the Bible, the inspired story may be very, very hard to reliably recover.

This is in part why I have not been quick to look at code to do widespread audit work. At first glance, this does not look like something software can reliably tackle on its own.

Less Daunting Now

I don't look at this problem the same way. Having the staff in hand has seriously changed my understanding of this problem.

The main change happened about a year ago when we increased the size of the Table of 400 to have 625 cells. In that uplift the Psalms and Proverbs were brought back into the field of play. Those books appear to have been written by Moses and they were written with the purpose of teaching the language.

The contents of those books are mostly short sentences. This is because they are addressed to young readers. They are not going to have complex grammar. They are grammatically very similar to the commandments. They are mostly short sentences or short couplets. Editors who may have tampered these books would have done so by adding couplets.

In my own recent surveys of that Psalm and Proverbs content it is also obvious they are also not high value targets for the editors.

When Psalms and Proverbs was edited, they were usually edited by adding stanzas, not by changing sentences. This in part because of that couplet structure found in their writing.

So what would we expect to see if we ran an audit on the verses of those books? For inspired passages, nearly every word will pass. For uninspired passages not much should pass.

So unlike the Commandments, it should not take a long theological discussion to decide what the inspired stories might be. This gives serious hope that we know where to start with recovery related software.

It means we now have a place to test kerning, correct word spelling and can start to build up a lexicon of known inspired words.

Beware Editors

The next topic of conversation around the new Staff exhibit is a reminder of just how different the short forms of the commandments are from the given forms in Exodus 20.

Remember, the editors changed the text when their understanding of the text was a threat to themselves or to their power in the kingdom.

So the edits inside the commandments are NOT going to be simple commentary, even if those additions look like commentary. So take the first sentence, "I am Joshua God" is the inspired form. The given form includes a change in divine name and an uninspired tail, "who brought you out of Egypt, out of the house of Servitude."

The divine name is a discussion from previous blogs. Not much to add, only that Hebrew uses Yahweh, but the audit shows this is the same name as Joshua that we read about in the New Testament.

But the tail on this first sentence is interesting. Why would an editor add that tail? What was their literary purpose?

Was it just commentary? Being brought out of Egypt is a truth statement about something that happened in history. So it is not false. But why did they want to add this specific detail? What was their nefarious purpose?

That addition, that god brought the people out of Egypt, is localizing the scope of the god mentioned in the commandments themselves. It is bringing him down. Without that detail, the inspired form, "I am Joshua god," is more of a universal absolute. Joshua is god over EVERYTHING, not just coming out of Egypt. This is what is implied by the inspired form. This was not something the editors liked. They made the god of the commandments the god who ONLY brought them out of Egypt.

The commandment, "You will not make any image," also has added detail. The editor adds "of anything in the skies, land or water." This is another example were the editor is adding what may be a simple truth statement, but the commandment is probably more broad. Perhaps a better English word for image may be "Imagination." In other words don't go dreaming up stories about Joshua himself. Of course this is exactly what the editors did, and why they wanted to change the commandment.

The commandment, "Don't bow and serve," has been similarly changed. As passed by history it has been changed to apply to the images or idols from the previous commandment. As originally written it applies broadly. Do not bow and serve PEOPLE. Like kings and lords and lenders. The commandment applies against the very group who were doing the edits.

The commandment, "Do not swear," has been edited in a similar way. As passed by history it only applies to god. In the inspired form it most likely means something like swear to anyone about anything. The normal use would be like a military oath or oath for other government service. Government officials even now often have swearing in ceremonies. Those ceremonies are what are outlawed by this commandment. So this commandment thus outlaws the related chains of authority that we know of in modern governments. The commandment as inspired prevents authority to anyone other than Joshua.

The commandment, "Remember the Sabbath," has been similarly elaborated with details for what cannot be done on the weekly Sabbath. This of course removes the Tabernacles holiday, which is also a Sabbath, and it removes the 7 year and 50 year releases from debt that are also under the rules of Sabbath. You can see the editors never wanted to release their slaves.

The commandment, "Honor father and mother," has also been similarly constrained. The father and mother that really matter is Adam and Eve. Their mistake was to listen to lies of evil men. This commandment would thus also mean NEVER trust what someone says about what god said. Always check it yourself. Again, this commandment hints at the means for avoiding traps caused by the editors.

The commandment, "Don't testify the false testimony," is also deliberately tampered. Note there is a definitive article on the word testimony. This is not the abstract idea of a testimony but an actual thing, the main inspired document. In the inspired form of the commandments, this commandment means to never evangelize the edited text, only the inspired text. The editors, of course, could not have that in their version, so they limit it to something like testimony in court before a judge or king.

The final commandment, "Don't covet," has been similarly upset. It has been edited to apply socially. It likely means to not keep the testimony to yourself. Share it, evangelize it, like Paul did in the New Testament.

Word Definitions

Once you see the commandments in their short form you notice that much of the meaning of the commandments is now riding on individual words. Normally, translators choose English based on the meaning of whole sentences. So the meaning of the words in the commandments is in part driven by the nearby words. The short form of the commandments looses nearby words, so it looses assumed word meanings.

Proper word definitions for the now short sentences in the commandments must now ultimately come from the lexicon. So the English we know so far may not be the best English in the end. The rest of the manuscript needs to be recovered before we can fine tune these words. For example, "Don't kill" might really mean "Don't die" which is of course central to the overall message of the Testimony. This sort of word meaning nuance is a future study.

Centrality

Once you get your head around the meanings of the sentences on the staff you can see how important both the language and the staff become. It is how Joshua wants to shepherd his people. The commandments are a major summary of the rest of the text.

The commandments are so central, that they are referenced in other places and in some other ways. To understand them requires a survey of where they are used in other stories. We begin this survey with the main New Testament reference to the commandments.

The Rich Young Man

Our understanding of the New Testament continues to change. Readers of the New Testament must factor in how people in that day did NOT have access to the inspired Testimony. The text models the evangelistic process of introducing the text to someone who does not know the inspired form.

An example story where this matters is the story of the Rich Young Man, found in Matthew 19 starting at verse 16, linked above in the BRB.

In this story a young man comes to Joshua and asks Joshua what he must do to have everlasting life. Joshua's answer is very simple, obey the commandments.

That young man is going to know the edited commandments, while Joshua knows the real thing. Joshua is linking the inspired commandments to everlasting life. Nothing in the edited commandments does this, the unedited commandments allow for this application, as I described above.

This New Testament passage is adding important commentary on the purpose of the inspired commandments, which is to provide the path to everlasting life.

The last verse in this passage indicates this happens via inheritance, which is a very strange verb to use for everlasting life. We receive everlasting life from, or because of, the work of our ancestors. This framing of the problem is already related to honoring father and mother which is a part of the commandments themselves.

The young man answers Joshua with a question. Which ones?

Presumably this is asking which commandments does the young man need to work on. That young man will see them as the edited personal and moral commandments.

Joshua's answer is, Don't kill, Don't commit adultery, Don't steal, Don't testify a false testimony, Honor father and mother.

The young man answers that he has kept those commandments since his boyhood.

The young man should not be so sure, because they may not mean what he thinks. As readers who know the inspired commandments, we know he most certainly did not have the true testimony since his boyhood. So he could not have testified it to others. In any case, Joshua then answers, go sell everything, give to the poor, and then come follow Joshua. The whole system the man is involved in needs to be shed before the man is ready to even begin the path to everlasting life.

The process Joshua is laying out, especially giving the wealth away, is described as having created treasure in the sky. In the Book of Tobit this is called Alms giving, so it is not obvious to Protestants why giving away ill gotten wealth is so powerful. Joshua is explaining a cleansing process for how to walk out of the problem this man finds himself within.

Implicit Problems

The implicit problem for this young man is that he inherited his wealth. Young men do not have enough time in life to become wealthy. Actual young men, in our era, who do earn wealth while young, usually end up squandering it soon after it is earned. Think modern sports figures and so on. They usually think they will just keep earning more. So the implicit implication of this story is that wealth was earned by parents who were breaking the commandments. Getting rid of that wealth would thus free the man from the moral guilt of having earned that money.

By this view, the list of commandments that Joshua is listing are the ones that were broken in order to create the wealth that man now has. He can only clear this ill-gotten wealth by giving it away. Of course giving away that wealth converts to a treasure in the skies, which is more useful in any case.

So far, this does not explain how the commandments tie to everlasting life. Are the commandments just a block to reaching everlasting life? Or are the commandments a detailed path to everlasting life?

Is everlasting life earned by moral behavior? If so, at least some famous church saints would have become walk offs and not died. This cannot be what is going on. The commandments must be a path to life.

Commandments to Life

So think again about the commandments. "I am Joshua God. Have no other gods besides me."

This is not a moral statement, but a truth statement about Joshua himself and the competition Joshua faces from all manner of places that purport to be like god. The editors and their work appear to be the embodiment of this. The edited text appears to be the classroom for learning about breaking the commandments.

So are all the commandments this way? Do they explain ways that the path to everlasting life can be messed up? Carrying around false texts certainly blocks the path to ever lasting life. Maybe other things also block that path?

In the case of the young man he is told "don't kill, don't commit adultery, don't steal, don't testify a false testimony, honor father and mother."

So the false testimony is on this list. What about the others?

Don't kill? If you had the chance to bring the testimony forward generationally, and do not take it, then future generations cannot reach everlasting life in their own lifetime, so someone will die. You killed.

Don't commit adultery? Is the true testimony something like a marriage contract? Between all of us and Joshua? Looks like, yes. Breaking that contract is adultery.

Don't steal? Bringing false religious texts into the testimony, so into your house, is like stealing. Taking something that does not belong.

Honor father and mother? Remembering Adam and Eve, and the mess they made, and working to correct it by NOT listening to the serpent is also a fundamental story about the testimony.

Then the young man is finally told to come follow Joshua. So once he has done the rest, to eventually become an evangelist. So he is called to share the testimony with others. This is to obey the last commandment to not covet.

There may be some manuscript related structural reason why much of Paul's evangelist work is the last recorded history in the testimony. Paul is also from the tribe of Benjamin which also goes with the commandment "Don't Covet."

Uses Of The Staff

Having a staff around in the shop is causing a lot of thinking about references to staffs in the text. This because all references to staffs are likely also references to the commandments. The 2 seem to be tied together. Let me survey references to the word staff as found in the text. These would imply a reference to the commandments themselves.

The first reference to a staff in the text is in Genesis 32:10 where Jacob explains he left his family, crossing the Jordan, with only his staff, and he returned as 2 groups. The staff is tied to his explanation of the source of his prosperity. As readers we are supposed to know this is because he was keeping covenant with Joshua. The commandments mark a shorthand summary form.

The next important reference to staff is in Exodus 4 where Moses is told to take his staff in order to deliver the people from Egypt. Moses' staff will fight against those of the Egyptians. With his staff, Moses will do signs. The Egyptians are not going to understand, but it is a sign of the testimony, and authority of Joshua. Throughout the plagues Moses raises the staff in his hand to trigger the plagues.

Note there are 12 plagues and 12 sentences on the staff. So there is a sentence on the staff for each plague. The staff is also lifted above the sea when they leave Egypt.

The symbolic meaning is now becoming clear. The staff carries the commandments which are a short hand for the agreement between Joshua and his people.

Young David is also seen carrying a staff, See 1 Samuel 17:40, where David takes his staff, along with 5 stones, in order to go fight Goliath. This is also a covenant related parable dealing with the commandments. David was walking with Joshua. He was the last king to do so, which is why Acts 15 calls out David's fallen tent.

A staff is used by Elisha in 2 Kings 4:29-31 where it is involved in the raising of a dead boy. This is perhaps a parable for raising the text. The commandments seem to go first, which is certainly how it has gone for us.

In the New Testament the disciples are told to only take the staff with them when they are on mission trips. See Mark 6:8. This is contradicted in Luke 9:3 where no staff is to be taken. Because Moses is the example, the Luke 9:3 passage is likely edited. Taking a staff is likely inspired.

Finally, Hebrews 11:21 comes full circle and mentions Jacob and his staff when blessing his sons. The 12 sentences on the staff map to the 12 tribes which map to Jacob's sons. We normally read this passage as old and weak Jacob needs his staff for mechanical support. Once you know it has the commandments, this passage means he relied on the commandments for his life and for raising his sons.

On Stone

The same 12 commandments as on the staff also appear on stone. There are 2 places that are interesting to consider. The first is the commandments that Moses brings down from the mountain. The second is the stone that strike's Nebuchadnezzar's statue. Let me mention each of those here.

Up The Mountain

The link here is to Exodus 24:12 in the BRB. This is the paragraph where Moses is called up the mountain to receive the tablets of stone. These include the commandments. The text itself is ambiguous, so this may include some other writing.

In any case, Moses famously comes down from the mountain with 2 tablets of stone that contain the commandments. These become the foundation artifact for the whole tent of time that Moses will proceed to construct. Unlike the wood (or plastic) of a staff, stones are permanent and enduring.

The other artifacts in the Tent of Time were made of wood and other materials that across centuries would need to be rebuilt, refurbished, or replaced. These stones were different. They would exist across centuries, provided the tent of time itself endured.

These stones thus became the central artifact from Moses' era that could be seen and touched by many future generations.

These actual stones from Moses' era do not appear to have survived the time of the editors. Should a modern archaeologist ever dig up Moses' original stones, they would not want to show them off because they would reveal the crime committed by the editors.

From the River

Once you see the commandments as written on stones, then other stone references may also be commandments references. The 12 stones picked out of the Jordan in Joshua 4:3-8 may have been selected for individual engraving of the 12 sentences from the commandments.

Against the Statue

There is also a reference to a stone that strikes a statue in Daniel 2:34-35. This is an end-times reference and suggests the commandments return. An implicit understanding is that if that stone is a commandments stone, then the real commandments had been lost, but will be recovered again. That stone grows up and fills the world, suggesting the works of the editors is eventually supplanted by the real thing.

More Staffs

I have made a few design changes from that first staff shown on Telegram last week. The biggest change is to hide English on the back of the staff. This allows anyone holding the staff to read off the commandments just by rotating the staff around. This is a very helpful change.

I have also done a couple prints in the normal brown/beige color scheme that I am settling on for the other exhibits. Conceptually, this is a darker bark-like outside of the staff with a lighter interior, just like normal wood. This color scheme makes the black lettering on the staff easier to see against a brown grid. This is instead of the black lettering on a fine gray grid as seen on the first prints.

There is still some fiddling to do with the ends of the staff. To protect modern floors they need ends printed in TPU plastic. That 3d printing plastic produces a rubber like final part. At the same time, the new ends may get a slightly more decorative trim.

The staff is scaled to the 6 foot dowel which was the longest I could find at the hardware store. This leaves a letter grid at 2/10ths of an inch and a letter size at almost exactly 8/10ths of an inch. These are the smallest paleo letters that I have 3d printed. These small sizes leave some filament hair that is hard to remove, even with a heat gun.

The resulting parts from this design may be better quality if they were printed with a smaller diameter nozzle. Because of the size of the overall exhibit, this really wants a dual extruder setup so the bulk of the staff gets printed with a larger diameter while the lettering gets printed with a small diameter nozzle. This is a fabrication point that needs more study at some point in the future. An INDX equipped printer, or a Prusa XL could do this sort of fabrication.

Match Dates

We were watching 2026-01-18 as the day-for-a-year replay of the first year of Solomon's sole rule over his kingdom. This would also be the start of his work on his temple.

The main headline event seems to have been the opening of the 2025 WEF conference in Davos Switzerland. All the cool kids were there giving each other speeches.

The opening date of that conference was the following day, Monday. Often weekends push fulfillment onto the nearby week days, as appears to have happened here.

But, we also had an interesting headline from Temple Mount in Jerusalem. Not a whole new building, but a serious change there. Let me review the headlines.

Alex Christoforou #1944

The link here is to Alex Christoforou's daily news summary on Youtube. This for Monday, the 19th. He discusses the opening of the WEF, but also of note is the ongoing Greenland discussions and Trump's plans for Gaza. Looks like Israel and the USA are planning something that is almost an alternative to the United Nations, with perhaps 70 nations involved in a "board of peace."

Others have suggested Gaza is but a part of the purpose, Ukraine could be involved too. It can also be thought of as the Zionists taking control away from the United Nations, where actions can be stopped by veto, but not dictated by pharaoh.

Alkhorshid with Helmer

The link here is to the weekly discussion between Nima Alkhorshid and John Helmer. This video is dated January 20, 2026. Helmer seems to have a better grasp of Greenland than most other commentators on alternative media. He views Greenland as an extension of the Ukraine battle field. Control of Greenland effectively cuts off the arctic trade routes that Russia and China have been developing.

They also have some discussion about the Iran situation. Helmer gives some evidence that Russia is internally inconsistent about if Russia is on Israel's side or on Iran's side when it comes to the middle east. There is Jewish wealth and control in Russia that may prevent Russia from ultimately helping Iran. I see this internal Zionist influence as the lever the Zionists want to use to ultimately bring down Russia's government.

Change In Temple Mount Policy

The link here is to a Youtube video on the Israel Guys channel. It is dated 2026-01-21. It details a serious change made in police policy dealing with public access to Temple Mount. This video is about 8 minutes long. It details what turns out to be our expected prophetic match to the building of Solomon's temple.

In terms of matches to the expected prophetic story, this headline is mild. There is currently no obvious building project, though stuff may be going on underground that we cannot see. But, what did happen is a dramatic change in Israeli police policy to allow Jews and Christians to have freer access to the top of Temple Mount. As explained in the video this is being taken as a serious step towards a rebuilt temple as well as the slow decline of Muslim influence at that location.

Details of the changes include allowing the use of police authorized prayer sheets on the mount. As explained in detail, the Israeli government is now sanctioning at least some visit and prayer related activity that was previously illegal. As the host explains, this does appear to be a serious step towards the rebuilding of the temple.

Watch Dates

We are now currently watching 2026-01-24 for the replay of the sacrifices related to Solomon's temple dedication. This is the Saturday after this blog goes out.

Over the past year or so I have looked at this date as a theoretical date for something related to the Temple in Jerusalem. The video linked above dealing with the change in Temple Mount access is likely the fulfillment headline for this aspect of the story. But, we are in a prophetic window and there may yet be more headlines on this topic.

At the moment I am looking to Iran as a possible venue for more headlines. The USS Abraham Lincoln is expected to arrive in the region on the 23rd.

The 2026-01-24 date is 1 day after the close of the WEF conferences in Davos. Those Davos meetings should be thought of as Solomon's religious gathering at his temple. Most of the important visitors in Davos are Zionists or work for Zionists.

This 2026-01-24 date is also called out as possibly informed by the "blood on the river" story at the start of the plagues on Egypt. If this does see some sort of related fulfillment, then we have a first peek at what may ultimately be a complete run of the plagues along with the time of the replay of the Jerusalem kings. We have already seen some of the "blood on the water" style headlines with American piracy against tankers not insured by London.

The following date, so 2026-01-25, is the replay of the start of the construction of Solomon's Palace. His palace took longer, 13 years, than did the temple, at 7 years. Political gatherings across these 13 days would tend to be dealing with government rule and not religion. Perhaps Trump's new peace council for Gaza? Perhaps a 13 day war? We'll see.

Peaking Ahead

The pair of Solomon building projects end on 2026-02-06. Unclear if these projects would be expected to have prophetic replay through the day-for-a-year ratios, since real building projects take more time. This early February date is listed as the Opening Assembly date for this year's Unleavened Bread Holiday.

Also important to note, the START treaty that limits nuclear weapons, expires on February 5, 2026. The Russian's have proposed a 1 year extension but the Americans appear to want nuclear war. Nobody appears home on the American side. If the American side does not answer Russia, a nuclear arms race begins on February 6, 2026.

For another future reference, the last year of Solomon's reign replays on 2026-02-22. That story marks the start of the replay of the civil war that followed Solomon's reign.

Shop Work

We did some traveling this week, so shop time was limited. On the road we had a long set of lots and technical discussions about our current work. An outstanding and serious file format problem related to audit work seems to have been solved on the drive. The solution to that problem came in a series of prophetic flashes. I now know what to do for setting up the audit related manuscript files.

We also had a long discussion with our friends dealing with the current state of our work. We showed off the new staff, especially a 2 tone brown version. Watch for pics on telegram for that.

I am currently winding down the 3d printing that is going on in the shop. This because we have Unleavened Bread week coming up and I won't be free for 3d work across that time.

My intention is to shift to code work for what will probably be several more weeks. I need to push the audit code, now that I know what to do.

Greek Manuscript

I also have some lingering Greek language manuscript work to finish up on. This is interesting to me because the files I am currently working on have a well designed modern Greek Lexicon. Though we are not expecting much Greek work for recovery, the database design for that lexicon is something that could be easily adapted for Paleo.

The Strong's Number system, which is commonly used for Hebrew OT and Greek NT manuscripts, was developed in the late 1800s. This was long before there was a good theoretical model for database designs. So systems that are built like or which follow Strong's style numbers do not form a decent database.

Because of what looks like poor original design, users of Strongs based concordances miss some important word connections. I have been bothered by this problem for years. I can now see how to solve this problem in a reasonable way, even for Paleo.

Ready For Recovery

So the pieces needed for the recovery work are now falling into place. We have the rules for divine name substitutions, we have both the lexicon structure and audit related file formats. We have a sense of the work flow and how the results of this process should be presented. We know we need to start in the Psalms and Proverbs, where we can build up known good vocabulary words, word forms, and grammar. So we are finally ready again to look at solving the audit problem.

Other Items

Other work that got finished in the shop this week was the rest of the assembly of the Ladder exhibit as well as another iteration and print of the Staff exhibit. English lettering on the bottom of the staff was cleaned up and the staff was printed in the brown and beige color scheme used for many of the other exhibits. I also woke one morning this week with a flash for how to design the decorative ends for the staff. Those new ends were also printed this week.

Finally, the Pavement exhibit was also adjusted so it does not need any spare parts in order to be assembled into a single large unit.

Curiously, I noted the screws used in that exhibit seem to be relaxing some with time. Screws used in all the big panel exhibits may eventually need to be assembled with thread locker.

Headline Review

The following headlines caught my eye this week.

The Plan to Kill Humanity

The link here is to a Neutrality Studies video on Youtube. In this video the channel host, Pascal Lottaz has a pair of American professors describing the current situation with the risk of nuclear war.

This talk was triggered by the attempt to take out Putin at his official residence on December 29, 2025, which is also thought to house a nuclear weapons national control bunker.

Pascal's guests will use the term "starvation" while the text uses the term "famine." This video is 57 minutes long. It provides a good review of the known technical capabilities and risks of the current weapons stockpiles of the USA and Russia. The Russian side is sane, and has offered to extend the current START treaty.

But, as they explain, the western side is not willing to continue the treaty. I would suggest the west is run by a death cult, and this is but 1 example.

I have linked this video as a graphic reminder of what it means that the START nuclear test ban treaty expires February 5, 2026. We will see if there are other, more serious headlines. Breaking this treaty may signify the split of the ancient kingdom.

Kirk Acoustics

The link here is to the top of a long thread on X that explains an acoustic analysis of the shot that killed Charlie Kirk. Sound files from various cell phones were triangulated to the shooter's location at the venue. The shot seems to have originated near the front row, though look at the map for details. This appears to be the same place in the crowd as identified by Jeff Rense.

Banning 3d Printers

Yes, Really, Banning 3d Printers

The 2 videos linked here deal with proposed legislation in the state of Washington that is aimed at banning the use of existing 3d printers in the state after July, 1, 2027.

Under the new law, the state itself gets to decide what 3d parts can be printed. To enforce this new goal, the new law requires all 3d printing related equipment to be tied via software to state run servers which know what parts are authorized for 3d printing within the state. Only 3d print farms that are federally licensed weapons manufacturers will be exempt.

The first video is by a lawyer who goes over the proposed law. It is written with the intent to ban the home manufacture of gun parts, but the bill has serious secondary consequences. The second video is referenced in the first, and gives better technical and more general theoretical background.

Since these videos went up, there has been a flood of additional videos on Youtube on this topic. This may be a state level trial for a national ban on 3d printing. (Which would move even more business out of the USA.)

It looks like our equipment, so our prototype work, may become illegal in Washington State after that date.

Using a gun law to ban the practice of religion is a remarkable trick. This basically sets an absolute last date for our project to continue in Washington State. Joshua willing, we will be moved out by then.

More Later,

Phil
