How I learned to fly (video)


My most brutal wingsuit flight ever | Täschhorn (4491 meters)
(Swiss JoHannes | Wingsuit) After years of dreaming, we finally did the highest possible wingsuit base jump in the Alps, from the top of Täschhorn, Switzerland.

Big hug to Mario for joining me on this mission. I couldn't have done it without him. Thanks, Bro! In total, we climbed for about 9 hours and spent one night at the Mischabeljoch bivouac. It was challenging leaving nothing behind and flying down with all of our equipment.

On the top we have to scramble five pitches to the exit point, belayed gear up. I jumped around 10:30 am during perfect conditions, without thermals (rising heat columns).

But after 40 seconds of flying, my arms were really tired, so I couldn't hold the glide and had to fly more steeply. Unfortunately, it is not getting much better. It is becoming a serious problem as I can hardly feel my fingers holding on.

Now if I could just learn to "fly" on land

Antonia was waiting at the LZ with a cold one. Mario and I landed safely. I don't know what happened to my weak arms... Was it the altitude or the heavy bag? I was exhausted AF and glad we got down safely. What a mission, what a mountain! Source

Sex is legal in Switzerland: prostitution

Pfc. Sandoval, Seth Auberon (eds.), Wisdom Quarterly

Is Switzerland's £3 billion legal sex trade too liberal? | documentary
(The Sun) Feb. 3, 2024: Welcome to liberal Switzerland, where prostitution is legal and paying for sex has become as simple as ordering an Uber.

As well as street prostitution, now websites offer clients a range of sexual services, spanning all kinds of kinks and fetishes, at the click of a button.

  • 01:37 Inside a brothel in Geneva
  • 06:30 Street prostitution in Zurich
  • 10:29 Inside the high-class escort industry
  • 13:32 Uber-style prostitution app
  • 16:22 Inside a group sex sauna
The sex industry is thought to be worth £2.9 billion — more than the country’s domestic cheese production.

But while it sounds like a sex-positive utopia, for thousands of women plying the trade across the country the reality is much darker.

In this documentary The Sun travelled to Switzerland to investigate how the county's super-liberal sex buying laws are working out for those in the industry.

World banking fraud exposed (Chris Hedges)

French whistleblower Stephanie Gibaud exposes worldwide banking fraud | The Chris Hedges Report
(The Real News Network) Oct. 13, 2023: The Real News Network Podcasts Warning signs of the instability of the global financial system abounded in the months leading up to the 2008 Lehman Brothers crash.

Among these early signs were the astounding revelations about [Swiss] UBS, the world's largest private bank, by Stephanie Gibaud, who was employee at the bank's French division.

Gibaud refused instructions given to her and other employees to delete all their company files. In doing so, she helped reveal a vast web of corruption and fraud linking UBS to a shadowy tax evasion scheme.

More than 15 years later, Gibaud has endured harassment, professional ostracization, lawsuits, and threats.

She joins The Chris Hedges Report to speak on her ordeal and the extent of corruption in the international banking system.

It's time for me to go to REHAB (video)

Amy Winehouse; Sydney Lima, High Society, 7/8/20; Pat Macpherson (ed.), Wisdom Quarterly

The Most Expensive Rehab in the World | High Society
(VICE) Paracelsus in Switzerland is the most expensive rehab in the world, serving a clientele of royalty, politicians, oligarchs, business tycoons, and A-list celebrities.

Forget the £20,000-a-month celebrities spend at The Priory in Surrey, or the £41,700 they shell out for 45 days at the Meadows in Arizona.

A five-week residential rehab here costs a whopping £315,000 -- about ten times the average UK annual salary.

Staying at a lakeside villa in Zurich, Switzerland, with a 24/7 limousine transportation, a personal chef, a butler, and a concierge, clients have access to a five-star hotel spa and a live-in therapist (who sleeps in the spare room). Activities include yoga, massage, martial arts, tennis, weightlifting, and more.

VICE sent writer and model Sydney Lima there to see if it could help her kick her drug, drink, and partying lifestyle. But while she was there, she uncovered a strange, unexpected world.

In the next report from High Society, VICE investigates how deadly synthetic drugs made by Russian DarkNet cartels are spreading through Tbilisi’s world-famous nightlife scene.

Sins of the Amish: God, incest, rape, patriarchy

Emma Gingerich, The-Sun.com, UK, 2022; Peacock, Sins of the Amish; Eds., Wisdom Quarterly

I'm not the only runaway (Emma Gingerich)
(The Sun) ...And soon after [18-year-old Amish escapee Emma Gingerich] left, she found out about the sickening sexual abuse committed by her grandfather, who died in 2011, and how many of the women and girls she grew up with had been subjected to similar abuse.

A shocking new documentary recently showcased how 11-year-old girls in the Amish community were given "incest guides" and told it was their fault if they got raped.

Kate Stoltzfus becomes Maxim covergirl (E!O)
Sins of the Amish
uncovered the decades-long sexual and physical abuse of young girls living in the religious community.

The Amish are a tight-knit and secretive group, and they don’t like to deal with authorities, so it’s almost impossible to know what’s really going on inside.

But Emma Gingerich previously revealed the Amish community hide "a lot of bad things" - including incest and criminal behavior.

She said they simply "sweep it under the rug" after the culprits are forced to confess their sins at church.

Emma told The Sun Online: "I know the Amish drink; there is a drinking problem; some of them make their own wine or moonshine.

"There's a lot of sexual abuse -- which you wouldn't see from the outside. It's been going on for a very long time.

"It's a problem for children and women. Kids are sexually abused. For a long time, nobody did anything about it.


"If it does happen in the Amish community, they hide it so well.

"But now [that] there are more people leaving, they are starting to speak out, and they are starting to get law enforcement involved. There's more awareness now. 

"I didn't experience it from what I can remember. I didn't know anybody had experienced it until after I left: A lot of women have come forward to me about it after they left.

"They lived in the same place as me. I was wondering, 'How could I not notice?' But they hide it so well." More

Amish escapes incest for freedom to date

Emma Gingerich, Megyn Kelly, 7/18/18.; Pat Macpherson, Ashley Wells (eds.), Wisdom Quarterly

MY AMISH ESCAPE
Imogen Braddick, The Sun, June 2, 2022; Wisdom Quarterly
I was too young to know better with no education
I escaped my incestuous Amish family when I was 18. I barely spoke English, and I didn’t know what sex was.

A MOM who was raised Amish has revealed how women and kids were subjected to horrific sexual abuse and "shunned" from their families if they ever broke the rules. When 18-year-old Emma Gingerich, now 36, fled the only life she had ever known, she only had a 9th grade education, barely spoke English, and had no idea what sex was. [Puritanical] America’s secretive Amish shun technology in favor of hard work, family, and devotion to their [super conservative] Christian faith. Emma, who is now married with a baby girl, slipped out the door on one cold January afternoon in 2006 armed with a mobile phone and the number of an ex-Amish woman who could help her. She left a note for her parents which said: "The time has come for me to leave, I am not happy here anymore. I am sorry to do this to you but I need to try a different life." More: the-sun.com

Woman who escaped Amish community opens up to Megyn Kelly
(Megyn Kelly/TODAY) Beautiful and independent-minded Emma Gingerich grew up in a strict Amish community of Schwartzentruber in Ohio. As one of 13 siblings, Emma attended school only up until age 14 and soon decided that she didn’t want to be a part of the Amish community. As the author of the book Runaway Amish Girl, she tells Megyn Kelly how she made her “great escape” and how she's been adapting to the outside world or Devil's Playground, as it's known to the wholesome Amish.

Sex, drugs, 'n Amish parties? Rumspringa

Amish Mafia, DMAX 11/17/19; Dr. Phil Show; Pat Macpherson, CC Liu (eds.), Wisdom Quarterly
I can't wait for the future, when we move to a free land and get to do what we want. - Yeah.

Amish teens at hot party smoke the devil's lettuce or "green corn"! | Amish Mafia
(DMAX UK) Lebanon Levi is upset after he finds out that some people were smoking "green corn" (cannabis) in the hot party he organized and charged Amish young folk $20 to attend.


In the Amish settlement in Lancaster County, Pennsylvania, keeping the peace and carrying out justice is the responsibility of Lebanon Levi. He doesn't hold the title of police chief, but he holds all the power of one and then some. Levi exists above the law and occupies the role of police, judge, jury, and executioner in a community that, untrusting of traditional law enforcement authorities, relies on a group of men for protection and justice. "Amish Mafia" depicts the work carried out by Levi and three of his young Amish assistants, namely keeping outside forces from infiltrating the Amish community, while keeping the principles and morality within the community in check. The Amish church, according to Discovery, denies the existence of this unique "police" force, so the network says some identifying information in the series has been changed and some scenes re-enacted.

Scores of Swiss sex workers swarm Davos

The New York Post, 1/20/23; Ashley Wells, CC Liu, Seth Auberon (eds.), Wisdom Quarterly
Stop bothering these important businessmen.
Scores of sex workers have swarmed to the Swiss ski resort town of Davos to [score, that is, to] offer their services to the rich and powerful this week — with some said to be charging up to $2,500 a night.

Every year, the World Economic Forum hosts a five-day gathering featuring CEOs, dignitaries, captains of industry, and media figures to discuss important global issues.

Super sex worker (The New York Post)
One prostitute who goes by the name “Liana” told the German newspaper Bild that she frequently provides services to an American attendee at Davos who pays $750 per hour — or $2,500 to spend the whole night.

She added that she dresses in business attire in order to blend in with the crowd at the World Economic Forum gathering.

A woman who manages an escort service based in the Swiss town of Aargau, which is located some 100 miles from Davos, told 20 Minuten that she received 11 bookings and 25 inquiries — and that was just the beginning.

Fight for Kashmir, India vs. Pakistan (video)

PBS News; Dhr. Seven, Pfc. Sandoval, Seth Auberon (eds.), Wisdom Quarterly Wiki edit, BBC

India claims the entire state of J&K (Jammu and Kashmir) based on a document signed in 1947. Partition from Pakistan came in 1947. Muslim-majority Pakistan claims J&K based on its majority Muslim population. China strategically claims the Shaksam Valley and Aksai Chin (wikipedia).
.
Neighboring Afghanistan and China
The Kashmir conflict is a territorial conflict primarily between India and Pakistan over the Kashmir region.

The conflict started after the partition of India in 1947 as a dispute over the former princely state of J&K (Jammu and Kashmir) and escalated into three wars between India and Pakistan and several other armed skirmishes.

China has also been involved in the conflict in a third-party role. Both India and Pakistan claim the entirety of J&K. India controls approximately 55% of the region's land area and 70% of its population, whereas Pakistan controls approximately 30% of the land, and China controls the remaining 15%. More
How old is this fight?
Pakistan's map of Kashmir
(BBC) Nuclear-armed neighbors India (former Bharat) and Pakistan (former India) have fought two wars and a limited armed conflict over Kashmir. Why do they dispute the territory, and how did it start?

Kashmir is an ethnically-diverse Himalayan region, covering around 86,000 square miles (138 sq km), famed for the beauty of its Switzerland lakes, meadows, and high snow-capped mountains.

Even before India and Pakistan won their independence from Britain in August of 1947, the area was hotly contested.

Under the Partition plan provided by the Indian Independence Act, Kashmir was free to go with or "accede" to either India or Pakistan.

The Maha-raja (great local ruler) Hari Singh initially wanted Kashmir to become independent. But in October 1947 he chose to join India. In return he got India's help against an invasion of tribesmen from Pakistan. More

Rudolf Steiner on patience and progress

Rudolph Steiner via Ven. Sujato, Ellie Askew, Dhr. Seven, Wisdom Quarterly
The Seven Apocalyptic Seals as drawn by Rudolf Steiner in his edition of The Apocalypse of St. John (1907). These seals were also inscribed in the Goetheanum in Switzerland (wiki).
.
Steiner 1892 (etch/Otto Fröhlich)
The founder of Anthroposophy, German philosopher Rudolf Steiner, eventually realized:

"Patience attracts the treasures of higher knowledge; impatience repels them. In the higher regions of existence, nothing can be achieved by haste and unrest. Above all things, desire and craving must be silenced, for these are qualities from which all higher knowledge quietly withdraws." So meditate.

Dr. Agnew is a six-time Amazon best-selling author and internationally renowned lecturer on the exploration of the Earth and the physics of the soul. He is also a published theoretical physicist in the field of radio spectroscopy and a multi-patented engineer. 

More importantly, he is the expedition leader of the North Pole Inner Earth Expedition in 2013 to test the hypothesis that planets form as hollow spheres.
 
He talks about the expedition and what he hopes to discover. There are various mythologies and legends about the Inner Earth, and they are discussed along with our changing consciousness and how the Earth responds to it.
The creation of the Earth has many points of view from across the ages, so many that no one thought there would ever be one work that explains it all. Until now. The Ark of Millions of Years by Dr. Agnew and E.J. Clark, is an ancient title here compiled and decoded from many schools of thought... More

Tunnel under Swiss Alps now completed
Longest-Tunnels


Gotthard dual tunnel system, Swiss Alps
The Gotthard Base Tunnel (GBT) is a railway tunnel in the heart of the Swiss Alps expected to open in 2016.

With a route length of 57 km (35.4 mi) and a total of 151.84 km (94.3 mi) of tunnels, shafts, and passages, it surpasses the Seikan Tunnel in Japan [but pales in comparison to the much longer secret high speed rail tunnels under the US].

The project has two single-track tunnels as part of the AlpTransit project, aka the New Railway Link through the Alps (NRLA), which includes the Lötschberg Base Tunnel between Bern and Valais and the Ceneri Base Tunnel (scheduled to open in 2019).


It bypasses the Gotthardbahn, a winding mountain route opened in 1882 across the Saint-Gotthard Massif. The total cost of the project is 9.8 billion Swiss francs (US $10.3 billion).

UFO and ET contact aboard DAL spacecrafts

Crystal Quintero, Dhr. Seven, Dev, Wisdom Quarterly; Semjase [Sam-yasi], akasha-devi
(BTC) UFO Contact from the Pleiades, Chapter 3: Aboard the DAL Spacecrafts

Semjase with vimana
Swiss earthling human Billy Meier (Eduard Albert Meier) is taken for a ride through this galaxy and many others. Moreover, he is taken to different epochs of time. It is one heck of a ride! No wonder, he was taken there by Asket (a female deva called a devi). She is from an inverse-universe, like matter to antimatter!

Follow your heart. Devas do.
But one might ask, "Why did Billy Meier get to go whereas I did not?" It is because Meier made a deal before he was born. Did we? No, of course not. One has to get up pretty early in samsara to beat Billy onto alien craft.
Who is the deva Semjase?
(semjasebluestar.tripod.com)
Meier says that contacts resumed again after years (beginning on January 28, 1975) with an extraterrestrial female named Semjase (Portraits der Kontaktpersonen, FIGU Switzerland, Schmidrüti, Switzerland: FIGU), the granddaughter of Sfath. Meier says that he has also had many contacts with another Plejaren (Pleiadian?) man called Ptaah, starting in 1975 and continuing up to the present day.
 
Meier has claimed that he has also visited other worlds and galaxies and another universe with these extraterrestrials. He claims that he was instructed to transcribe his conversations with the various extraterrestrials, most of which have been published in German. These books are referred to as the Contact Notes (or Contact Reports). Currently, there are 26 published volumes of the Contact Reports (titled Plejadisch-Plejarische Kontaktberichte).

What humanoid forms do devas adopt?
Some of the Contact Reports were translated into English, extensively edited and expurgated, and published in the out-of-print four-volume set Message from the Pleiades: The Contact Notes of Eduard Billy Meier by Meier case investigator Wendelle C. Stevens. There are also many contact reports translated into English (unedited) by Benjamin Stevens ("Billy Meier Translations: Contact Reports" Billy Meier Translations. Shelocta, PA).
 
Coleridge saw an Abyssinian (P)
Meier's discussions with the Plejaren are highly detailed and wide-ranging, dealing with subjects ranging from spirituality and the afterlife to the dangers of mainstream religions, human history, science, and astronomical phenomena, ecology, and environmental dangers caused by global overpopulation, in addition to prophecies and predictions of future events.
