DEDICATION, DISCIPLINE, AND BULLSHIT PATRIOTISM
As Regular Readers know, I was slowly disconnecting myself from the Blogging Business, because indulging my ego is getting expensive and it just consumes a great deal of time. Besides that, I no longer have the ability to stay on top of the software changes. That is why this website went down last week. For me, learning software versions is like learning Latin. In two-years, it becomes an extinct language and you will have to waste your time learning the next short-lived language in an endlessly repeating chain. It keeps Microsoft and the other Tech companies in business.
It is called churn, and the Alternative Media is also in the business of churn, even when the news cycle is uneventful. I never wanted to do that here, because I do not run this website like a business, it is more like personal art work. That is why readers will never see any advertising.
I did not know that this website had gone down until I read it in the comments section of George Ure’s website, Urban Survival.com. I have been wholly consumed by my job until I was laid off just a few days ago.
I do appreciate the concerns that many readers had; I know that many of us have grown to expect the worst. It was certainly not a censorship crackdown leveled against G. A. Stewart and his crazy theories. This kind of speculation is the first place that people are now going to in an age of deplatforming and control of speech. The paranoia is clearly a statement on where America and humanity stands at the present time.
As critical as my opinions and comments about The Deep State may be and its place in prophecy and religion, nothing nefarious brought this website down. It was just my inability to keep up with the software and maintaining this site as a competent Web Host.
Obviously, this site is now up; I paid my hosting company to update the required software; unfortunately, G. A. Stewart’s Metaphysics is still down, and will probably stay down. Since I am now unemployed, I have some decisions to make; perhaps I will take the time to become a WordPress and web design expert.
In 2016, a cable television production company found my website and contacted me for a gig on TV. This goes to show readers how a well-designed website can work for you. Sadly, it will not get people to buy books. Outside of readers with ADD and short attention spans, nobody seriously cares about a website loading time measured in just a few seconds. It would seem that presentation and content attract the professional eye.
In the last several posts I have explained to readers that my job of the last 27-years was ending and that happened Tuesday when I was laid off with all of my coworkers on July 1st, 2025. Happy 4th of July… Ooh rah and God Bless America.
The company that I work for thought that they were throwing us a bone canning us on the first day of the month so we can keep our health benefits to the end of the month. Gee… thanks…
Our jobs depended on a government contract that should have been worked out and signed two-years ago, but right up until yesterday, none of the personnel at my site knew what was happening until the Program Manager flew in from Texas and laid us all off.
I was actually still hopeful that everyone on the government side would get their shit together and we would get an eleventh hour reprieve. However, that did not happen. What we do is very important and necessary. Many pilots are now flying on waivers because of the loss of training.
The morons who call themselves corporate management had not even worked out the fate of our Test Pilot, who makes the contracting company millions of dollars by verifying and testing each aircraft modification.
In 2019, the job classification for Test Pilot was changed in the contract, along with the accompanying pay increase. The job classification became Instructor Pilot with additional duties as Test Pilot.
I spent two-days fighting and negotiating with the company on that change, but I lost. They would not budge. On Tuesday, that came back to bite them in the ass, because by being called an Instructor Pilot by the new definition in the 2019 contract, our Test Pilot did not have seniority, and he was going to be laid off with the rest of us. At that very moment, he was in another state currently working a modification and acceptance test while listening in on the phone. He was ready to get on an airplane and leave.
I am still not sure how some of these retired Colonels and former Air Force leaders get hired on to work from home as so-called Program and Operations Managers. It is a great gig if you can get it.
Several Operations Managers that I have worked under were allowed to work from home, ostensibly, in their bathrobes. These retired Bathrobe Colonels, as I like to call them, phone it in with absolutely no idea what actually goes on at individual sites in their charge. Consequently, the shutting down of my site was a disaster.
I found myself making decisions outside of my pay grade just to keep people safe. There was a two-thousand mile disconnect between reality and a guy in a bathrobe who once was a Colonel in the U.S. Air Force and who now has some vague notion that he is a leader and a manager.
Most of my coworkers’ and my emails over the last few months were ignored and went unanswered. That made it more difficult as all of us tried to deal with the chaos of shutting down a site that had supposedly been planned for two-years. Essentially, my last day on the job was a retreat from Afghanistan. I left things undone, because there was no time and the contractor wanted to save a dime by immediately laying all of us off.
It is that kind of horseshit that led to the collapse of the Roman and British Empires. Undependable logistics will kill you dead no matter how sharp the blade you carry.
So, the Work-From-Home Program Manager graced us with his presence in the company of the young obese Human Resources Manager and put us all out on the street. Apparently, they lied to the union about the contract being signed, and we were given some ambiguous time in the future for a recall.
Suddenly realizing that our Test Pilot, whose job title has been Instructor Pilot for the last six-years with additional duties as a Test Pilot, was about to get laid off too, the Work-From-Home Program Manager and Human Resources Manager had to quickly scramble. What were these people doing for the last two-years?
In no sense was our Test Pilot ever really an Instructor Pilot; he was a full-time Test Pilot who came home once every three-months to teach for a day so he could keep his rating and currency as an Instructor Pilot.
This is an intentional corruption of language and why I cannot stand lawyers. I find arguments involving semantics and contract legalese exhausting in the face of facts and reality. These are the real ass-clowns in life.
Changing the verbiage in our contract needed our approval, and we would not allow that. In 2019, the company bought an Instructor Pilot with additional duties as a Test Pilot. I had tried to warn them six-years ago, and this is why “I told you so” gets so tiring for me.
All of a sudden the Work-From-Home Program Manager wanted to take that conversation with our Test Pilot private.
Our Lead Instructor Pilot called him out on that and wanted him to have that conversation in front of everyone. But the Work-From-Home Program Manager took the call private anyway, walking out into the hallway.
We later learned that he had offered our Instructor/Test Pilot a Test Pilot position at our main site. He took it. I am glad that he finally got what he wanted; he is a good man, on the road all the time, and I hope that he gets the money and the back pay that the company cheated him out of in 2019.
This does not resemble management of any kind; it is corporate greed at its worst, and the patriotic hypocrisy from these defense contractors is one of the worst sins that I know and which I have dealt with most of my professional life.
America’s defensive front line is dependent on every defense contractor’s bottom line, and there is nothing patriotic about that.

THE BULLY PULPIT
G. A. STEWART
WHO IS THE ENEMY?
I have known our Test Pilot for many years, going back to when he was a Major and then Lieutenant Colonel in active service training in my simulator. Being around for 27-years, many of the civilian Instructor/Test Pilots that I have worked with once flew in my simulator as active duty pilots.
Thank you for your service, my ass. Defense contractors believe in nothing but profit. Loyalty, dedication, and discipline are just words to them.
The company has also kept our severance pay under the pretext of a future recall of some personnel at some unknown time in the near-future… “Yeah, yeah… and the check’s in the mail.”
Needless to say, my coworkers are very angry. Their dedication and commitment have been destroyed and it is never coming back. This is what the bean counters bought.
For some of us it is allegedly a temporary layoff; for others, it will be termination. All of it will be challenged by our union; however, for myself it is the “same old, same old“. I had a fleeting hope that it would work out, but you know what they say about hope.
Long ago, I discovered that Hope is something that people have to create for themselves. Other people have figured that out too, and that concept has been immortalized in the movie The Shawshank Redemption.

Zelensky’s Latest Call With Trump Was ‘Most Productive’ He’s Ever Had
Trump said “It just seems like he wants to go all the way and just keep killing people. It’s not good. I wasn’t happy with it” – in reference to Putin.
Yes, Donald J. Trump, Vladimir Putin means business; he is Nostradamus’ Griffon. And frankly, I do not care who believes it.
The Western bubbleboy pansies of The Deep State decided to start a war in Iraq, Libya, Ukraine, and Iran, and now they are whining like little babies because the Russians, the North Koreans, and the Iranians are shooting back.
It is time for everybody to get over the Trump Hopium and get real.
I read so much crap on the Internet and I always seem to keep coming back to what I discovered after the last eighteen-years of writing books. Some time in 2014, I began to realize that I got future world events pretty close to right. The Barack Obama led NATO coup d’état in Ukraine led me to put many more pieces of the Nostradamus puzzle together. Finally, when the COVID-19 Pandemic was declared in 2020, I knew that my Nostradamus Timeline was the most accurate future forecasting tool on the Internet.
Nostradamus and The Third Age of Mars, Volume I, G. A. Stewart, 2017, Page 525
In Chapter Three, I explained how Nostradamus identified The Leech as being south of France, which makes The Leech North Africa, or more precisely, the Arab League. With that explanation, it is easy to make the case that The Leech of Unequal Order and Rank is the single most important Islamic leader in the world.
The question begs, why does Nostradamus call the other antagonist, The Physician of the Great disease? Is this person a doctor? Is it a metaphor? We know he “will set fire to the Olive branch”. Does he use “the great disease” as a weapon? Does he start biological warfare?
As I will endlessly repeat, writing a book in 2016 describing how Nostradamus’ Physician of The Great Disease would start a Biological War in 2019 is about as accurate as any person can get. I no longer had any doubts about Nostradamus’ prophecies and many of my interpretations. Nostradamus’ view of the future is like being told that you have a terminal disease.
Kübler Ross came up with the five stages of grief and loss, “denial, anger, bargaining, depression, and acceptance.”
When coming across my books and this website, the Alternative Media is still in the Denial and Anger stage. I got it right and there ain’t no hope; Alex Jones is not going to save you, Matt Drudge is not going to save you, Tucker Carlson is not going to save you, QANON is not going to save you; there is no Santa Claus or Easter Bunny, and Donald J. Trump is not your fairy-godmother.
My work here has allowed me to move onto the acceptance stage. Western civilization is going to collapse; when is the big question. I think that The When is what drives many readers to come to this website. Most of us have figured it out for ourselves, and we can all see that the world is going to hell in a hand-basket. When being told that they have a terminal disease, most people want to know The When and how much time remains on the clock.
Where is the Hope in that?
After the Hurricane Helene flood took me back to zero, relocation made me start questioning the quality of life that I wanted to live versus survival options for whatever disaster could potentially come my way next. Hurricanes were obviously number one. After relocating to an area where I use to have a home and that is high and dry, I realized that this area had everything that I needed. I could be very happy here until I dropped dead.
At my age, I came to the conclusion that I wanted quality of life while it still exists. I am a quarter-mile away from one of the best biking paths in the state, and if you turn west on that path, it takes you to one of the best beaches in the world.
In fact, after being laid off, I am gearing up for some well-deserved rest time, getting some creative projects organized, and getting back into shape. I see a kayak in my future, and some future music gigs. I will also continue with this blog as long as it can pay its own way. Frankly, I am glad that I have this platform to vent about what happened to myself and my coworkers. It is a look inside the Real World. If we cannot get The System to work in our world, then the rest of America is shit-out-of-luck.
I get the sense from many of the Alternative Media websites that I visit that the bloggers, so-called influencers, and opinion generators are not grounded in the Real World.
After Israel and the United States attacked Iran, just as I described on this website years beforehand, I went out and spent thousands of dollars replacing what I had lost in the Hurricane Helene flood. In that process, I had to decide what equipment was really necessary for basic survival. Whatever the future brings, my intention is to shelter in place; that kind of urban survival requires different tactics and a different approach.
After I was laid off, I called George Ure, whose support over these many years is a major factor in this website’s existence. He mentioned downsizing and relocating. At my age, I realized that I have no desire to live in the deep woods or swamps to get a few more years out of life. Right now, I am trying to calculate the math and the time span before collapse comes and how far I need to get.
A Zipper-Gripper Market and Book Release
The long-awaited Downsizing: Missing the Collapse of Empire is officially live, and it’s not some sleepy memoir. It’s part economic field guide, part survival map, part cathartic howl from the sidelines of the Empire’s slow-motion train wreck.
The Collapse of Empire is what it is all about; call it The Fourth Turning, The End of Days, it is the worst of Nostradamus’ prophecies; most of us do not have the resources to ride it out, because this is a generational event. Therefore, living on 40-acres in the middle of nowhere is not for me. If I started it over a decade ago, maybe…
However, the reality is that I pretend to be a curmudgeon and grumpy old man, but I like being around people and socializing. Jogging and biking around my bay side city was one of my favorite things to do. Sure, I was always worried about hurricanes and floods, but I got twenty-five-years of happiness and joy by overriding that fear. Finally, one day it happened, and then I got to work out my what-if backup plans.
That is how I manage hope and fear.
I keep hoping that I am wrong about everything; I am just thankful that my timeline has been moving a lot slower than I had first calculated back in 2007.
As I have previously written, the social engineers have been experts at walking the razor’s edge of global destruction. If they can keep it going for a few more years, I will take the quality of life over just surviving in the woods or the swamp. Having expected the worst in 2011, 2014, and 2019, here it is 2025, and at my age, do I need to worry about carrying a fifty-pound backpack out of town? That does not really appeal to me given my recent history.
You never know what life is going to hand you from moment to moment; sometimes you do not have any choices. I may have to bug-out of town once again; if so, maybe I will just decide to accept whatever is coming.
The morning after the Hurricane Helene flood, I put my laptop in my day-pack, lifted my bike out of the flooded garage, and pedaled to where I could connect to a cellphone tower. Within two-hours, I had located the house that I am living in now; I beat the exodus out of my city and approaching Hurricane Milton by one day.
Getting hit by three hurricanes in a row, what are the odds? We all play them just by getting up in the morning.
Therefore, I am close to sure that I do not want to do that again. I did have my eye on some property further north, but I started thinking why? The realization came to me two-weeks ago when biking across the beach causeway during sunset. What is my rate of exchange for balancing quality of life versus surviving a disaster?
If I can have a year or two of absolute happiness doing what I want every day, it would beat spending the rest of my life scrounging out a living in a swamp or the woods after a Nuclear War.
Having already had a Near Death Experience in 2016, I feel that I am as prepared for that eventuality as I can be. Right now, I am all about writing the coda to my life.
The war between Israel, the U.S., and Iran came as I described in previous posts, but the resilience of The System keeps surprising me. And that helps me with my decision. If we get through the Summer of 2025, maybe Donald J. Trump will get us to the year 2026. I am not optimistic, but there is hope. Regardless, I am tired of worrying about it. It is time to enjoy the last bit of life.
In my work, Phase I of World War III ends with a Limited Nuclear War and then the three-years and seven-months of The False Peace. I have written that many people will survive the war but die with the collapse of the supply system.
G. A. STEWART’S PROPHECIES I: WHEN GOLD AND SILVER DISAPPEAR
My hope that we do get an extension before Doom arrives is based on my own work and the future dynamic between Donald J. Trump and Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan. As I have described and interpreted from Nostradamus’ Quatrain I-40, Erdogan seems to play a big role in Donald J. Trump’s future.
Why’d Erdogan Decide To Expand Turkiye’s Sphere Of Influence Eastwards?
As I have written in my last four books, Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan gets his own anagram in Nostradamus’ World War III Series. I believe that he is most likely The Sufyani, predicted to come about now in Islamic Hadith. Why now you ask? The war between Israel and Iran has begun.

RAUGON is an anagram for Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan.
Nostradamus and the Third Age of Mars, Volume I, G. A. STEWART, 2017, Page 543
On October 3rd, 2014, when the Turkish Parliament voted to give Turkish President Tayyip Erdogan the power to invade Syria, the solution to the famous anagram in Quatrain IX-62 became suddenly apparent to me. I even chided myself for not having solved it sooner, since Erdogan came onto the world stage as Prime Minister in 2003 and was elected President in 2014.
I have a suspicion, however, that Erdogan’s fate is sealed. He is trapped between the United States and Russia.
I was told that the Sufyani will rule for three and a half years.
Here is where we run into conflict in various prophecies. Since some Hadith commentators believe that there will be two Sufyani’s, is this three-and-a-half years the totality of their reign? I suspect that there will be only one Sufyani.
The Latest Trouble In Russian-Azerbaijani Relations Might Be Part Of A Turkish-US Powerplay
If anyone has read my books or this website, we know that trouble between Azerbaijan and Armenia is another sign on my timeline.
THE RED, BLUE, AND YELLOW ARMY
Nostradamus Quatrain V-69
Plus ne sera le grand en faulx sommeil,
L’inquietude viendra prendre repoz:
Dresser phalange d’or, azur & vermeil,
Subiuger Affrique la roger iusque aux oz.
Nostradamus Quatrain V-69
The great one no longer in a false sleep,
Uneasiness will come to replace tranquility:
A phalanx arrayed of gold (yellow), azure (blue), and vermilion (red),
Subjugating Africa and gnawing it to the bone.
Nostradamus and The Third Age of Mars, The Prophecies of World War III,
G. A. Stewart, 2019, Page 685-686
The colors of the standard that Nostradamus describes are also the colors of the armor worn by the two hundred million-man army in Revelation 9:16. The same army that is led by the Kings of the East in Revelation 16:12 also appears in Nostradamus Quatrain V-69.
This is another correlation with Biblical prophecy. This further supports my position on Nostradamus’ work. He has given the world the fine details in the Book of Revelation.
The only nation that bears a flag with these colors is Armenia. Armenia is an ally of the Russians and therefore an ally of the Iranians. I now believe that “the great one no longer in a false sleep” is Russia.
Presently Azerbaijan and Armenia are engaged in a military clash over disputed land. Azerbaijan is an ally of Turkey.
And the number of the army of the horsemen were two hundred thousand thousand: and I heard the number of them.
Revelation 9:17 (King James)
And thus I saw the horses in the vision, and them that sat on them, having breastplates of fire, and of jacinth, and brimstone…
Revelation 9:17 (New International Version 1984)
The horses and riders I saw in my vision looked like this: Their breastplates were fiery red, dark blue, and yellow as sulfur. The heads of the horses resembled the heads of lions, and out of their mouths came fire, smoke and sulfur.
Despite Trump Hopium, the world continues to move toward the abyss. Victor Davis Hanson is one of the big names in both the Alternative Media and Mainstream Media who sells Donald J. Trump.

That will be the beginning of the end for The Deep State, because Donald J. Trump is never going to release The Real JFK Assassination Files or The Jeffrey Epstein Files. The Trump administration has shown its true colors.

Lots Of Speculation Is Swirling Around The Sumy Front
My view of the world marches on unabated, and right now I am standing at the craps table calculating the odds of the next roll.
After the Israeli and American attack on Iran, a few readers made sizable donations, and their emails were quite flattering. Some folks prepared for the Israeli attack by spending far more money than I did, and it does not get anymore flattering than that. I would like to thank everyone; you all helped pay for the recent website repairs. These repairs by the way are not complete. Writing this post, I discovered a few more bugs.
I will get back to everyone’s emails, but my professional life has been in chaos for the last three-months, and with it just coming to an abrupt end, my head is still spinning. In-between seeking out a new standard for improving the quality of my life, I have a list of personal priorities that I have neglected, such as testing the new tri-fuel generator that I just bought, and then basically getting ready for the resumption of the war between Israel, the U.S., and Iran.
Frankly, I am due for a very long vacation, and if I am not recalled for another year that would not bother me one bit. However, sooner or later some people, whose jobs are now on the line, will soon realize that they could not make things work as they had planned. Physics will get you every time; so, that is why I expect to be called back to work very soon. I do love what I do.
My career advice to any young person is to pick a Fix-It Field that is essential and exclusive and then charge by the hour.
Last year, when my first simulator was moved out to another state, one of my technicians followed it and spent a lot of time troubleshooting critical problems due to the move. One of those problems led to a broken pin in a cable connector, in a simulator with over a thousand cable-connectors with thousands of pins. It took him nearly a week to follow the schematics to that point of failure. And that is why it is called grunt work, but it pays well.
In my experience this is always the way reality goes, and the overtime is good. Talent talks and bullshit walks; that is called real Capitalism.
Most Business Models require Fix-It-People, as I just experienced with this website. Some of those corporate career fields like human resources, company legal departments, general paper-pushers, and the evil bean counters will soon be replaced by AI. Therefore, it could get worse.
The Fix-It-People make the world work. I like using movie clips to explain my point, because it has all been beautifully worked out and most people can relate. Consider the movie Brazil and Robert De Niro’s cameo appearance as “Harry Tuttle, Heating Engineer“.
I have dealt with the system head-on for all of my life. It is exhausting; however, at the same time I find it challenging. Maybe that is what keeps me young at heart. My coworkers finally understand my cynicism and why I may seem like a grumpy old man. I am really not; the kind of prophecy that I am into sells hope. As I explained above, even last Tuesday I held out hope, but as I have discovered you have to make hope happen yourself.
FOR THIS GENERATION TORMENT
FOR THE NEXT GENERATION A GOLDEN AGE

This prediction tells us that it is going to be rough sailing for a generation, but in the end humanity will pull through and begin a new golden age. Of course the end of warfare is also a very comforting prediction from The Old Testament.
And he shall judge among the nations, and shall rebuke many people: and they shall beat their swords into plowshares, and their spears into pruning hooks: nation shall not lift up sword against nation, neither shall they learn war any more.
The First Fruit is this generation, and the ship of Doom has left port; humanity has set out on that voyage.
Corporate level bullshit patriotism trumps (no pun intended) the poseurs in the Alternative Media selling clickbait patriotism. I will always keep referring back to my January 2nd, 2021 post Hard Truths warning people not to buy into the bullshit artists. Those who did have paid a very heavy price.
G. A. STEWART
HARD TRUTHS
Today, I watch the Alternative Media use many of the people arrested for The January 6th, 2021 Capitol Building Riot to sell more clickbait. The January 6th people have no other outlet; their lives have been destroyed. They want their stories told. GoFundMe.com is not going to work for them.
My apathy for politics has been manifesting in direct proportion to this patriotic hypocrisy that I see in the Alternative Media and then living it in Real Life in all the important places.
I have just been down in the trenches too long and the fools in the Alternative Media who believe that they are selling some kind of political influence just make me chuckle.
The MAGA crowd should understand this now after Donald J. Trump bombed Iran. Patriotic hypocrisy is rampant, even for hotel magnate Presidents who endlessly pander saying all the right things.

The program that I had worked under for the last 27-years has been in the news lately, and the U.S. government has officially declared that this is a “Legacy Program” measured by the metric of allocation of U.S. tax dollars.
In my last teleconference, I told people who should know better that the program was in a tail spin. Closing my site has been on everybody’s white board for over two-years. There should have been no surprises and no lay offs.
Air Force general predicts war with China in 2025, tells officers to prep by firing ‘a clip’ at a target, and ‘aim for the head’

Outgoing AMC Boss Minihan Wishes He Could Give Airmen ‘Predictability’
Sept. 9 marked the end of an era as Gen. Mike Minihan, the head of Air Mobility Command, retired after a 34-year career and passed the baton to Gen. John D. Lamontagne at a ceremony at Scott Air Force Base, Ill.
During his tenure, Minihan oversaw some of the most demanding periods in AMC history. The command’s 107,000 troops and 1,100 aircraft responded to Russia’s full-scale invasion of Ukraine and Israel’s invasion of Gaza; moved U.S. troops out of Niger; delivered aid to a series of humanitarian crises, and put on Mobility Guardian 2023, a massive exercise where 70 aircraft, 3,000 personnel, and several international partners practiced moving troops and supplies across the Pacific for two weeks.
There is a simple mathematical test to see if these people have their shit together. If you have approximately 375 beat-up 60-year old toys versus approximately 90 brand-new toys that are not fully mission capable, then the 375 beat-up 60-year old toys constitute the backbone of your fully mission capable toys.
Therefore, these 375 beat-up 60-year old toys are not really a “Legacy Program” in any sense of the English language. This conditional statement in logic simply states the obvious; these people are delusional.
With a NATO proxy war with Russia in Ukraine now in its third-year, an Israeli declaration of war against Hamas in its second-year, and now a burgeoning war with Iran after the Israeli and American attack, it is clearly game on; the U.S. military had better be ready for the fight.
We will not really know until some country starts shooting back.

The Chinese will be forced to consolidate their forces on their own continent first. There are big impediments there like India, Japan, South Korea, and Taiwan. These would have to be neutralized and that would take time.

However, as I mentioned in the two editions of Nostradamus and the Age of Desolation, I do not see China becoming a big player in the Middle East until Japan, Australia, South Korea, Taiwan, and India have been neutralized.
Do political and military leaders in the United States actually believe that China and Russia will allow a U.S. modernization of those forces from here on out?

I voted for former Congressman Ron Paul twice for President. The second time, I wrote in his name. At this stage in the game, unfortunately, I think we are too late to fix anything. We need to shore up the weak points in America’s defenses.
Ron Paul: A Big Beautiful Bill For The Military-Industrial Complex
Sadly Congressman, our so-called elected leaders in the United States and Europe have decided to start World War III. The threshold has already been crossed, and we can be sure that Russia, China, Iran, and North Korea have implemented their own military plans against the U.S. It is time to save what we can and put the money where it is immediately needed.

Since I understand one aspect of The Game, I can define one leg of the United States’ strategic projection of power in one ratio.
For something so essential, where are you going to put your money?
On the cover picture is an SR-71 being refueled by a KC-135. I grew up reading the classics in science fiction, and I was able to chase down some of my dreams; I was a part of those two programs. Be it helicopters, jet fighters, or rockets, I have worked on them all.
The aircraft that I worked on are today’s X-Wing Fighters; I have loved knowing how they work and being a part of the action. When you are rescuing people from around the world instead of blowing them up, you are part of a “United Star Fleet Federation“.
THE LIFE SAVING BUSINESS
I have also gotten to learn and play with the equipment, and to test it outside of its normal boundaries. That actually became a necessary daily part of my job.
In one of my simulators, I discovered that video recording from cell phones showed the visual system channel edge blend issues when they could not be seen sitting in the cockpit or from the video cameras used to record pilot performance. Aligning visual channels is time intensive, newer simulators have automatic alignment systems, and so modifications are always necessary to improve the fidelity.
MY MORNING CHECKOUT RUN DUCKING RADAR BELOW 500 FEET
DO NOT TRY THIS AT HOME
My quick morning check out was modeled after the Las Vegas Air Races, it checked the avionics, aural warnings, the visual, and the motion systems. I use to challenge my technicians to beat my time flying the course seen in that video while staying below 500 feet.
Coming in fast, I deployed the speed brake, and the simulator can be seen creating the shuddering that would naturally be felt from the deceleration. My landing was nearly 60-knots over the recommended landing speed, and I was surprised that I did not get a Hard Landing light. Where else can you do that for a living?
The pilots who I have worked with for 27-years do it for real every day in a 60-year old jet. Simulators are weight training for pilots, as necessary as weight training for athletes.
When crunch-time comes, maybe they’ll need some of us old guys back.
After the movie 2012 came out, I use to play a mental game when biking around a local airport. I would see what airplanes had flown in, and I would chose the best airplane that I would steel if crunch-time really did come. You never know what skills you will need.
My former coworkers, the Instructor Pilots, sometimes came out of a simulator mission pulling out their hair. Air Force Undergraduate Pilot Training (UPT) is a shadow of its former self. Some of these kids cannot even fly a 5-knot crosswind approach. It gets so real sometimes, even for the veteran pilots, that I have jumped into the left-seat after a mission to check out a problem, and the back of the seat is soaked in sweat.
Before we shut it all down, my last approach was with a 30-knot crosswind and 90% turbulence. Back in the day, I would have put in a 100-foot ceiling, all of it outside minimums. I like flying the extremes because that is how you get good, and I always wanted to “shoot womp rats in Beggar’s Canyon“.
Basically, that is what that video above is all about. I knew my oldest simulator so well that when I flew it, I could tell when something was wrong just by the feel of the controls. The video that I shot above was from 2018, when I worked the morning-shift bringing up two simulators by myself. That was one-handed flying and recording with the other.
Further back in time, when I had another technician to help me open up the facility, I would take one of our simulators up to 30,000 feet and then couple the autopilot to the flight management system and let the simulator fly an approach to Kennedy airport, and then we would go and drink our morning coffee.
Our office was just outside the main simulator bay, so during one period, we would hear the simulator eventually crash somewhere off the coast of Georgia as we sat at our desks drinking coffee. It took us several-days to figure out that the flight management system control computer had a bad magnetic variation table; if the jet flew too far off of course, it would crash into the ocean. Pilots need to know this kind of malfunction instinctively.
And that is the fine nuance of having an experienced team, and I am proud to say that I built one of the best technical teams in the program.
On lay off day, rather then getting laid off, the current Work-From-Home Program Manager and the head of Human Resources asked me privately if I would accept being their part-time-on-call bitch until everything was worked out. I wanted no part of this disastrous retreat from Afghanistan, because I would have to fix it and then take the blame when it did not work out.
I would make more on unemployment pay, it would not save my medical benefits, and it would interfere with my vacation plans. These idiots just could not do the math.
I said, “Absolutely not.” We were hired for full-time jobs, and working any part-time job was the camel’s nose in the tent. This is what corporate has wanted all along, and it is happening across the entire simulator industry.
And so The Empire is free to keep shooting itself in the foot as The GS Whatevers milk the government’s tit and collect paychecks while hashing out “fake plans” in beautiful PowerPoint presentations, building $6-million buildings that are six-inches too short to use, and copying and pasting the legal errors from government contract to government contract. It is a major racket, and DOGE should have started there.
This is the way that our present fake reality works. This can only work for so long, because science and physics eventually intrude and shit breaks, and your enemies understand this at a visceral level and they are just waiting for Their Moment.
It is time for the Alternative Media to also get real. Recently, one website which I scan and which shall remain nameless, posted the Michael Snyder article below.
11 Signs That The Entire Country Is Facing Enormous Economic Challenges Right Now
Michael Snyder sells what I call Cookie-cutter Doom through a number of outlets. That is not a slight, that is his Business Model and he seems to have made it work. He writes factual articles and some of them have solid information. I did read the article that I linked above, and then I saw it on another website with absolutely no attribution or citation connecting the article to Michael Snyder.
I did a Picard Facepalm. It was so brazen, copied from the first word to the last word. Was it a mistake; did someone forget the link, or have some people no shame? I went back to the website hours later and the Michael Snyder article had been pulled. I wondered what the impetus and motivation were behind that sudden deletion from existence.
The competition in this Alternative Media racket is unnerving, and I see this as a large warning sign of what else I might read on websites that do this.
I will be updating my last book and that will include a reorganization. My books have tried to present a linear timeline, which has been difficult to present with multiple threads to Nostradamus’ narrative. This book will be organized by the predictions and people.
While balancing a Real Job and blogging, I discovered that I could not keep up with the news flow. Maybe I can catch up now that I am unemployed. One of my most important interpretations of Nostradamus’ prophecies involves Michelle Obama. Readers should note today’s alleged divorce rumors regarding Barack and Michelle Obama. That prediction may be crucial to when Donald J. Trump is removed from office.
Since I will be filing for unemployment next week, I have to weigh and balance that with selling books and writing posts as G. A. Stewart. All of this is on my taxes every year. Unemployment will pay a lot more than I make on this website, and I have some creative projects that I would like to get to; writing these posts gets in the way of that, so I may disappear until I work out the rules. I am in the life reorganization process. I appreciate the kind words from Regular Reader Supporters, and I wanted all of you wonderful people to know what is going on. A lot of you have supported this website for many years.
If something comes up, I will follow it up.
