I can&#8217;t tell you the number of times I&#8217;ve looked up how to <strong>[redacted]<\/strong> or fit a <strong>[redacted]<\/strong> into a <strong>[redacted]<\/strong>. Still, though, we do look up some rather odd things, don&#8217;t we?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Here are some of the things I researched while writing <em><a href=\"https:\/\/amzn.to\/3pqKhjd\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Out of Due Season: The First Transit<\/a><\/em>. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>A Makah Legend<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">I heard a legend one day when I was in the 3rd grade. At the time, I was living in Tacoma and as part of the curriculum, we were given a three- or four-week crash course in Tacoma history. There is quite a bit for that area (look up the Tacoma Narrows Bridge or <a href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=j-zczJXSxnw&amp;ab_channel=TonyC\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">watch this video from 1940<\/a>), but one thing that really stuck with me was the legend of the Northern Lights. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">As the Makah Indians of the Straight of Juan De Fuca tell the story:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<blockquote class=\"wp-block-quote is-layout-flow wp-block-quote-is-layout-flow\">\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">&#8220;The northern lights come from the fires of a tribe of dwarf Indians who live many moons&#8217; journey to the north. These dwarfs are no taller than half the length of a canoe paddle. They live on the ice, and they eat seals and whales. Although they are small, they are so strong and hardy that they can dive into cold water and catch whales with their hands. Then they boil out the blubber in fires built on the ice. The lights we sometimes see, are from the fires of those little people boiling whale blubber. The dwarfs are evil spirits, or skookums, and so we dare not speak their names&#8221;.<\/p>\n<cite><a href=\"https:\/\/wanderingwhaleroad.wordpress.com\/2017\/08\/19\/the-blubber-burning-dwarves\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">https:\/\/wanderingwhaleroad.wordpress.com\/2017\/08\/19\/the-blubber-burning-dwarves\/<\/a><\/cite><\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Wormhole Generator<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">In 2002, a U.S. Patent was filed for a &#8220;Magnetic Vortex Wormhole Generator.&#8221; During my research into this thing, I saw quite a few rebuttals that are far beyond the knowledge I retained from the C- I received in high school physics. Still, that someone wrote all this and had supporting documentation gave me pause. Science is a field that questions itself. We have seen theories thrown out and new theories put into place because of new knowledge based on new experiments.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">And then, just last month, I read about another possibility: warping space. Have a read, if you will:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-center wp-block-paragraph\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.extremetech.com\/extreme\/329631-scientists-havent-created-a-warp-bubble-but-theyre-a-bit-closer-to-testing-one\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">https:\/\/www.extremetech.com\/extreme\/329631-scientists-havent-created-a-warp-bubble-but-theyre-a-bit-closer-to-testing-one<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">It boggles my mind.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">I downloaded the &#8220;Magnetic Vortex Wormhole Generator&#8221; patent, and it is linked here so you can get your fill. To find out what it really does, you&#8217;ll have to read <em><a href=\"https:\/\/amzn.to\/3pqKhjd\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Out of Due Season: The First Transit<\/a><\/em>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-file aligncenter\"><a id=\"wp-block-file--media-76047a5b-547b-45e0-bfb7-c02d418161e2\" href=\"https:\/\/bxwretlind.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/12\/US20030197093A1.pdf\">Magnetic Vortex Wormhole Generator<\/a><a href=\"https:\/\/bxwretlind.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/12\/US20030197093A1.pdf\" class=\"wp-block-file__button wp-element-button\" download aria-describedby=\"wp-block-file--media-76047a5b-547b-45e0-bfb7-c02d418161e2\">Download<\/a><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Clandestine Agencies within the Government<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Holy cow, there are a lot of them. Many of them are set up to just monitor employees in and out of a place, but many others have some pretty scary purposes. According to initial research, there are &#8220;<a href=\"https:\/\/www.latimes.com\/nation\/la-na-17-intelligence-agencies-20170112-story.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">17 agencies that make up the U.S. intelligence community<\/a>.&#8221; <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">I do not believe that number is even <em>close <\/em>to reality. In fact, I found one place that listed over 100 (but, of course, I didn&#8217;t bookmark it and now I can&#8217;t find it).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Submarine GPS<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">It&#8217;s a thing! I&#8217;d been curious about how exactly one could ping a GPS satellite when underwater, but there are a few nifty devices that will do it. <a href=\"https:\/\/www.navimate.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Here&#8217;s a neat one that I found<\/a>. If you&#8217;re a diver and have tried it out, I would love to know how accurate it is.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Jonestown<\/strong><br>I&#8217;m not a morbid person, but I did quite a bit of research into Jim Jones and the Jonestown massacre long before I ever wrote a single word of <em><a href=\"https:\/\/amzn.to\/3pqKhjd\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Out of Due Season: The First Transit<\/a><\/em>. My purpose was to learn just how someone could convince so many people to do such a horrific act, not against their will, but because of it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The most interesting find in all my research was the supposed &#8220;Death Tape,&#8221; a recording of Jones speaking to his followers while the poison was being doled out. You can listen to it by here or you can read the transcript below the audio. <strong>TRIGGER WARNING: 918 individuals&nbsp;died in Jonestown, all but two from apparent cyanide poisoning.
