Kevin Bacon has revealed that he recently donned a disguise in order to experience life as a regular person, but soon concluded: “This sucks.”

Speaking to Vanity Fair, Bacon explained that he went to great lengths in order to live out his fantasy of being a non-celebrity. “I’m not complaining, but I have a face that’s pretty recognizable,” he said. “Putting my hat and glasses on is only going to work to a certain extent.”

Bacon continued: “I went to a special effects makeup artist, had consultations, and asked him to make me a prosthetic disguise.”
The actor was given fake teeth, a new nose, and glasses before heading off to the busy Los Angeles mall The Grove for a taste of ordinary life.

Bacon says the disguise worked, “Nobody recognized me”, but the experience left a lot to be desired. “People were kind of pushing past me, not being nice. Nobody said, ‘I love you.’ I had to wait in line to, I don’t know, buy a f***ing coffee or whatever. I was like, This sucks. I want to go back to being famous.


I still have never seen "Footloose".

I think 7 degrees from Kevin Bacon has had something to do with his fame as well.

I opened up a new bank account last December, and when the banker told me the varying account options they offered I selected a particular checking account because I needed the option to write checks. Dude looked at me like I had 2 heads. Personal checks have really fallen out of favor.

In Europe personal checks have pretty much been gone for close to ten years. Many people in their 20's and 30's have never written a check.
At my age a Life In Prison sentence is not much of a deterrent.

Deagel's forecast is still in play:

-----------------

Is Deagel's 2025 Depopulation Forecast Coming True?

April 22, 2023
.
.
.
Introduction

The Deagel corporation is a minor branch of US military intelligence, one of the many secretive organizations which collects data for high-level decision-making purposes and prepares confidential briefing documents for agencies like the National Security Agency, the United Nations, and the World Bank.

Deagel is known, for example, to have contributed to a Stratfor report on North Korea. With this kind of pedigree, Deagel should be seen as a legitimate player in the intelligence community and not merely a disinformation asset.

If so, then it must be assumed that its population predictions for 2025, as well as its industrial output predictions on a nation-by-nation basis, are based on strategic assumptions which are shared and well understood by other players in the intelligence community.

It wouldn't be a global pandemic, because where I am, for example, would be unscathed.

I don't think nukes because it'd interfere with the physical takeover.


Possibly an agricultural/water land grab, mini-swarm drones, & bio-warfare would be my guess.

There should be enough food supplies in the underground cities by now.

More from Wernher (see above post about NASA).

The doc I posted about the Moon & Apollo.


The embedded video clip is cutoff, but is very revealing.

It's not anything new, just that it came from him is new to me.

So I figured I'd share the source.

Dr. Wernher von Braun on Ethics

MAY 30, 2024
.
.
.
In a rare and compelling find, a film clip of Dr. Wernher von Braun was discovered in a library dumpster in Trenton, New Jersey, in 1982. Approved by NASA in 1961, this film reveals a side of von Braun few have seen. It showcases his reflections on how science transformed his worldview. This may be the first public viewing in decades.

This is a lengthy read.


It explains the factions inside the Democrat Party.

But much more than that.


The author leaves out a major component though.

I'll see if you can figure it out.

Big Picture Question – Big Picture Answer

July 9, 2024
.
.
.
I was explaining how Joe Biden is now facing two formidable forces against his 2024 election candidacy, (1) Barack Obama, and (2) the Intelligence Community.

A question was raised: “I thought the IC and Team Obama were one in the same?”

The answer is no, not really; and the expanded answer is a little more important given the nature of what our nation is facing right now in the 2024 election.
