Project BlueBeam? 🤔

[eksopolitiikka]

Project Blue Beam: Faktaa vai fiktiota?

Project Blue Beam: Faktaa vai fiktiota?

Kuvittele, että heräät eräänä aamuna maailmaan, jossa kaikki tuntemasi on käännetty ylösalaisin. Yhtäkkiä mullistavat (väärät) arkeologiset löydöt kyseenalaistavat kaikkien suurten uskontojen perustan ja jättävät yhteiskunnan sekasortoon ja epäuskoon.

Ennen kuin ehdit edes käsittää, mitä tapahtuu, taivas alkaa muuttua. Maailman suurimpien kaupunkien yläpuolelle ilmestyy tornimaisia, hyperrealistisia jumalten projektioita, jotka kommunikoivat suoraan katselijoidensa kanssa, ei puhutuilla sanoilla vaan telepaattisesti.

UFO-havainnot tulvivat uutisiin paniikin vallatessa planeettaa. Maailmanlaajuiset johtajat kehottavat ihmisiä liittymään yhteen Maan ulkopuolisen uhan edessä. Vain kahdessa päivässä maailma, jonka kerran tunsit, on romahtanut.

Tämä skenaario kuulostaa scifi-elokuvan juonelta, mutta jotkut salaliittoteoreetikot uskovat, että tämä voisi olla osa salaista suunnitelmaa, joka tunnetaan nimellä Project Blue Beam, väitetty PSYOP, jonka voimakas eliitti on suunnitellut uuden maailmanjärjestyksen aikaansaamiseksi ja yhteiskunnan muokkaamiseksi.

Serge Monast oli tällainen salaliittoteoreetikko. Hänet tunnetaan lähinnä Project Blue Beam -salaliittoteorian edistämisestä. Hän kuoli kotonaan joulukuussa 1996 51-vuotiaana sydänkohtaukseen.

Serge Monastin mukaan Project Blue Beamilla on neljä vaihetta:

Vaihe 1: Arkeologisen tiedon halventaminen

Ensimmäisessä vaiheessa paljastetaan väärennettyjä arkeologisia löydöksiä, jotka kyseenalaistavat kaikkien suurten uskontojen keskeiset uskomukset ja ne aiheuttavat laajalle levinnyttä hämmennystä ja yhteiskunnallista häiriötä.

Vaihe 2: Uskonnollisten hahmojen projisoiminen holografisesti ympäri planeettaa

Järjestetään ”avaruusnäytös”, jossa messiaanisia hahmoja esittävät kolmiulotteiset hologrammiprojektiot ilmestyvät taivaalle maailman eri alueiden yläpuolelle, ja kukin niistä vastaa kyseisen alueen vallitsevaa uskonnollista uskomusta.

Vaihe 3: Telepaattinen viestintä

Kolmannessa vaiheessa käytetään kehittynyttä teknologiaa telepaattisen viestinnän simuloimiseksi, jolloin ihmiset uskovat saavansa suoria viestejä jumalilta tai hengellisiltä johtajilta.

Vaihe 4: Suuri petkutus, joka jakautuu kolmeen osaan: 

1. Vakuuttelu kansalle, että avaruusolennot ovat hyökkäämässä jokaiseen suureen kaupunkiin.

2. Vakuuttelu kristityille, että viimeisten päivien Ylöstempaus on tapahtumassa.

3. Sähköisen manipuloinnin ja yliluonnollisten voimien yhdistelmää käyttäen luodaan illuusio, joka peittää kaikki viestinnän ja teknologian muodot, ja se tunkeutuu jopa kotona oleviin kodinkoneisiin.

Vaikka monet pitävät Blue Beamia pelkkänä fantasiana, teoria herättää häiritsevän kysymyksen: voisiko tällainen suuri kusetus mennä läpi oikeasti (toim. huom. korona-aika muistuttaa meille, että vähempikin menee läpi)? Ja jos kyllä, miten voimme valmistautua sellaiseen dramaattiseen kaaokseen?

The C*vid-19 lockdowns and the Mandela Effect are both psyops to determine how gullible the world population is.

The next step will be to stage the fake alien invasion.

Yep, that's a foreign intelligence drone over my house. Or CIA. God knows.

Shane Hazel joins Stew to talk about how our government is now openly backing and funding Al Qaeda!

Jay Dyer joins Stew to talk about the drones, orbs, and what appears to be Project BlueBeam about to be unleashed!

Milke Dillon joins the show to discuss the silent but deadly poisons in our homes that are slowly killing us!

[papirouge]

I am confident that in the old times demons were nesting inside earth tunnels that humans worked out to connect with them and collect their (forbidden) knowledge.

The Paris catacombs are super eerie too and I think they channel a very dark & sinister energy. 6 millions of dead bodies remnants are laying beside Paris. There's no wonder this place is so energetically charged. After I came back from 3 months spent in Africa it was overwhelming.... La Cité/ Paris 1st arrondissement (Paris oldest ones) especially. Unlike the rest of the Paris, this distric is pretty 'medieval-y' and has a very distinctive odd energy...

This sign (at the entry) of the Catacombs reads "Stop! the empire of death is here"

I've already talked about the satanic coven/human sacrifice den discovered by urbexplorer under La Défense, but I think that tunnels are used everywhere else in the world by satanists to worship demons and contact them

When I was in London for a school trip, one of my classmate wanted to visit a museum of the dildo (yeah...). The museum was in an old kinda incave library and the energy was so off.....I felt like all my energy was taken from me.. I think the whole space was filled with a disgusting life sucking energy (succubus?). It got so bad I told my friend I had to get out bc I felt like fainting... I wouldn't be surprised disgusting things happened down there à la sex magick, if not worse....

Another time I felt like dying in an underground was at a Caribbean restaurant were one of my sister waz working at. God blessed me with a excellent health and I'm usually not one faint of heart. But the moment I stepped down there my head started twisting I immediately had to sit down to not collapse.... I would have NEVER eat anything from that restaurant. Voodoo is strong in those communities...

I think back then God already made me sensitive to dark energy that's why He wired me to react this way around it.

It's also non worthy that non buried bodies attrack demons. In the Bible, non buried bodies were a sign of curse. No Christian should be anywhere near 'naked' dead bodies.

I think that bc of technology demons are now hiding deeper underground (today's machines can forage much deeper than 2500 years ago) but they're still here. I think the movie The Descent is also a good representation of cryptids (fallen angels) and demons who'll invade the earth on end times while masquerading themselves as alien (project Bluebeam)

lol I wish my podcast project is gonna end up becoming a thing because there's so much to say about it :)

This breakdown explains why professional construction estimating services make a difference in choosing the right one for your needs.

Why Construction Estimates Can Make or Break a Project

Imagine this: You lead construction work on a large apartment neighborhood. During the middle stage of your project you discover significant material price increases along with extended labor durations and crucial permitting delays.

Construction estimating services provide the needed tool for this situation. The combination of detailed takeoffs together with current pricing databases and advanced software platforms allows these services to deliver realistic cost estimates ahead of construction commencement.

The industry journal Construction Dive reveals that construction firms believe cost overruns are responsible for over half of their project challenges. An appropriate estimating partner enables your project to bypass such hazards.

What Are Construction Estimating Services?

Construction estimating services analyze project plans together with specifications while making cost predictions for everything from labor expenses to material expenditures and equipment purchases along with obtaining permits. Expert construction estimators deliver these services based on their knowledge of actual building expenditures.

They use industry tools like:

PlanSwift

Bluebeam Revu

RSMeans Data

ProEst

Whether you're a small GC, subcontractor, or property developer, outsourcing your estimating to a top-rated construction estimating company can save you time, money, and headaches.
