    1. If you truly followed local politics then you would already know if a Dem is running or not. Or, if you just read the first line of the article.

    2. There is a Democrat running. She took over Brennan’s seat. She is smart, capable, and kind. A debate would be nice but most likely be a meet the candidates forum instead.

      1. Brennan was smart. He got out of the circus. I wouldn’t want to work with the new council either from what I heard. (*** ********)

        Was there ever a formal reason he stepped down? Safe to assume they didn’t get along?

        (Asterisks are mine, Editor.)

        1. Everything you said after ‘Brennan was smart’ sounded like a foghorn.

          He’s retiring from local politics to spend more time traveling I think is what he said on his formal resignation. Yes there was a formal resignation. Maybe just do like two minutes of research before just regurgitating things that ‘you heard’.

      2. We’ll most likely have a “ten questions for the candidates” forum on The “Belmar/Lake Como/West Belmar Residents” Facebook Group that Belmar residents can send in questions that the two candidates will answer after our staff selects the best ten questions. Every other day in the month preceding the election we’ll post the question and they can reply at their leisure now that Mr. Di Somma decided to join our private residents group just yesterday as a matter of fact. Welcome to the community Coach Sean!! Be careful who you commune with though. 😉
        Jim McCracken- as the Chairman of the Belmar Republican “Anonymous Posters of The Blog”- seems like he is just in panic mode looking for a candidate who can get elected, or is it Freehold now pulling his strings? Katrina Klapsis couldn’t distance herself from Kirschenbaum and Walsifer’s agenda and misinformation; John Sabia couldn’t win a primary because he too was a Walsifer/Kirschenbaum/Cinelli select who claimed he “was his own man” on social media but somehow Walsifer called Victoria Renner and congratulated her on the win over him?!? “Who’s your daddy?!?”
        Now they bring in a resident of less than ten years who is a staunch Republican operative from Red Bank (former Chair of the party there) and doesn’t know the history and facts of The Belmar Beltway- only the “perceived truths” of the poor players we just ejected from the game who I’m sure have debriefed him extensively and incorrectly.
        This sets up a classic Freehold versus Hudson County rematch as usual, BUT Caitlin Donovan is anything but Hudson County and doesn’t toe the party line on many state and national issues near and dear to Mayor Buccafusco and Bill and Hillary Doherty. Will she have the courage in the end to separate herself from The Belmar Beltway and the “influencers” from Ocean Avenue and Inlet Terrace and get out on the backstreets and listen to the working class swing voters of Belmar who don’t vote the party line locally? Well, she already has on many occasions and unlike the fast talkers and mis-directors on the council in the near past, she listens and communicates the facts, not her perceived “red” or “blue” truths. It’s refreshing actually.
        Good luck McCracken! Ya better get crack-a-lackin’ because I told you years ago that if you didn’t have the courage to stand up to Kirschenbaum that I’d always be attackin’ and you’d forever be slackin’. Here we are three years later and I’m guessing right about now that you wish you had the courage back then to not let him come after the Veterans, Firefighters, First Aiders, and true patriots in our town.

        Remember Jimmy all those months ago? I addressed you on behalf of the Veterans and said, “Courage is calling; Answer the call!” Instead you declined the call.
        Instead of ensuring at that moment in history a Republican balance on The Council for years to come and being courageous, you were complacent, complicit, compromised, and now your c@&&^pt#). Get a real conservative like Jim Bean on the ballot or it’s gonna be embarrassing.
        Whoopsies… too late.

        The next part is my favorite. Where all the anonymous cowards come on with their personal attacks and tick off hundreds and hundreds of residents who have awakened to what’s going on recently after they use a Leftist move directly from Saul Alinsky’s “Rules For Radicals” and try to isolate a whistleblower. That didn’t work before last November so common sense- which they don’t have- will tell you it won’t work now. They’ll certainly try though.

        I can tell you all about Mr. Brennan and why he’s no longer with us as well, but I’m trying not to be angry while I enjoy gloating over the further trials and tribulations of jaw-jackin’, fact slackin’, political hackin’, Veteran smackin’ Jimmy McCracken.

        1. That was cool of Mr Brennan to share with you his real reasons for leaving. I assume they differ from his stated reasons, because they are too boring to be worth withholding.
          I hope you decide to share with the rest of us the secret of his departure. Knowledge is power and you appear to have more than the rest of us regular folks. We always appreciate a glimpse of what is really happening.
          Thank you

    1. You don’t have to say ‘so called’. They’re just elections. It’s an odd trend in modern language. Using words that are unnecessary like ‘sort of’ or ‘kind of’ or ‘so called’. We need to go back to enforcing proper use of the English language.

      1. How about “incorrectly labeled” elections? What Mr. Dilberger is saying that they aren’t elections at all, just a smoke and mirrors show that they call elections when the outcome is preordained. I’m not sure I agree with that assessment although a mask-up, lockdown, and mail-in ballot ploy in the near future would have me convinced then that they’re so-called elections.

        1. So when those of us who vote in Belmar go into the booth to choose our candidate, it’s not really a vote? The winner has been decided already? By whom? It must be someone more powerful than the mayor, otherwise the incumbent would never lose. So is there a committee that chooses who wins council seats in Belmar? Who are they? Do they live here? How do they decide who wins? Do the voting machines even work? Are they plugged in? Does this mystery pre ordained committee also choose who wins the state level races? The national races? Are they made up of just men? Just women? Are they republicans? Democrats? Both?
          How come they’ve never been caught? Can you tell who will win the next council election? Since it’s pre ordained? Do you know? Or is it a secret? Do the people who decide who will win know already? Or do they wait until the candidates are announced? What do they do if a candidate drops out right before the election? Do they panic? Flip a coin? So many questions.

          The silver lining to this nonsense is that Mr D doesn’t vote. And that is a good thing, believe me. And I have to admit I am a little jealous of those who live their lives with the philosophy of; if I win, it was fair, if I lose, the other guy cheated. It’s not exactly how I was raised, but it must be so nice to never ever have to be wrong or admit defeat. Not great for personal growth but what a great fantasy in which to live.

          1. So it’s not an argument between me and you? But between me and all these other folks? I honestly did not realize that. Anywho, most people, including me, have heard about the remote viewing experiments at Stanford. There was even a movie made about it a few years ago (rather different take on the whole situation than your assessment), called Third Eye Spy, or something like that. Probably streaming somewhere.
            The lighthouse of Alexandria along with the supposed palaces of Marc and Cleo were discovered by French and German archaeologists. Through painstaking archeological research over many decades. And I’m not sure how remote viewing experiments (that were a colossal and very well publicized failure) that ‘found’ ancient relics can be construed as ‘seeing the future’. The exact opposite in fact.
            Listen, like I said, I don’t care. You want to believe that people can see or predict or look into the future? Fine. Who knows, maybe that’s how Bill Gates and Elon Musk got rich. Well Elon was born rich but that’s a different story.
            I am not trying to silence you. I am not part of some global attempt to stifle some top secret intel. I don’t believe in magic or predicting the future or telekinesis or remote viewing. I don’t believe that there is a great awakening or a cosmic shift or an unfathomable higher plain technological change coming. I do believe that the internet can be a place of vast amounts of information, but I also believe it can lead to vast amounts of nonsense. I have read plenty on Mr Schwartz. None of it convincing. Almost always due to the SOURCE of the information. Something internet rabbit hole folks tend to ignore. But, like I’ve said probably a dozen times now, I don’t care. And I am certainly not going against ‘the great patriots”. You and I just have very different ideas of who the patriots are. I know, I know, you think I’m stupid and ignorant and dumb. You’ve mentioned it many times. And maybe I am. Maybe I am an idiot to be incredulous about a CIA run psychic program that was so successful, they decided to scrap it 40 years ago. Why they would scrap a program that was that successful is beyond me, but what do I know.
            Again, agree to disagree.

        2. Mail in ballots in the US date back to the civil war. So for over 150 years it was ok, but in the last few years it is fraud? I’ve heard of the long con before but this might be the longest. The evil cabal that has more power than the president has lulled us into complacency over the last century and a half and have only now hatched their plan to, um, control the executive branch but not the legislative branch. Oh wait no, to control the states but not the federal government. No no wait, to slowly control the judicial branch but let go of the executive branch so no one gets suspicious. Wait! To control the county but not the local municipalities while maintains slim majorities in the state house but letting half of congress go to the other party but keeping a tight lid on the judicial and back loading the federal agencies. Probably definitely one of those things.
          I gotta say, for people who think the government is made up of incompetents, you sure give them a lot of credit.

          1. Breaking News: “Massive Win: Judge RULES Arizona’s Rigged Vote-Counting ILLEGAL | Kari Lake READY For A REMATCH”

            Hmmm? “So-called elections”?!?

          2. Hahaha. You poor thing. So a dude with a YouTube show from his basement says that the election is illegal. Hahaha. What happened to this society? We are grown ups acting like children. The entire state of AZ may have to change the way they compare signatures. If it even needs to change. There is no indication that the practice of comparing signatures isn’t being done. Or isn’t being done in just the counties that went for Lake. Which would mean she lost by even more votes. You’ll recall the massive and expensive investigation into the Trump AZ loss wound up uncovering more votes for Biden. Ha, that was hysterical. This is the interpretation of state election law by one judge. That would of course mean, if upheld, that moving forward, that’s what would happen in AZ. It is a little hard to understand how a practice that has been occurring in the entire state somehow only was bad for one candidate. Not to mention that state level republican candidates did very well in that same election. So the secret society of voting wizards only changed Lake’s name on the ballot? That would be a really dumb way to control an election. In May of 2023 Lake tried proving not only her allegation over signature verification efforts but also that it affected the outcome of her race. She failed to do both in front of republican Judge, Peter A Thompson. That was her last appeal. You see, that’s the way the law works in this country. I could say, Mark Walsifer won the last election!! It was rigged!!!! But I would need to have evidence. Evidence is that all important part of proof. But conspiracy theorists are really great at ignoring facts, and proof is something they feel is irrelevant. Like Kerri Lake losing every single court challenge and subsequent appeals for her sore loser crusade. She even had to pay the states legal bills due to the frivolousness (ironically a Republican law), a win for the tax payers.
            That petulant child can certainly be ready for a rematch, when the governor’s term is up. Although I highly doubt the AZ republicans would get behind a loser a second time, but she could run as an independent or some other third party platform. Maybe the waaaaaahhhh party.
            I get that it’s easy to fall into a YouTube worm hole and start to believe any idiot with a microphone because he is saying something you already kinda believe. It’s called confirmation bias. The internet is filled with “information” that feeds the cerebrally challenged in society. Folks who confuse intellectual curiosity with being spoon fed nonsense. Nonsense that can be debunked with even the slightest research. But conspiracy theorists hear what they want, and all else gets shut out. It is hard when your candidate loses or your team or whatever. But we let the courts hear all challenges and we accept the results gracefully. That’s what adults do.

          3. I agree with all of you for the most part but if they can’t rig the ballot boxes, then they’ll stack the courts in their favor, provide disinformation through the press, or simply own the delegates in their own crooked parties like the Clintons did when Hillary had her party cast aside Bernie Sanders.
            Many folks don’t even “trust the science” any longer when it comes to healthcare, and we expect them to “trust the process” when it comes to every close election.

          4. Parties may try to stack the courts, but they don’t always get what they want. The judge that delivered the final nail in the Kerri Lake coffin of crazy is a Republican. The Maricopa County Board of Superiors Chairman who was fighting against Lake is a…wait for it…Republican. Of the 86 (86!) judges across the country that all unanimously rejected Trumps claims of election fraud, about half were Republicans. Several were appointed by Trump himself. That kinda flies in the face of your stacked court argument. These judges put aside partisan politics and followed the law.

            As for people who don’t trust science? Well that’s a condition based on too much screen time and, frankly, a lack of intelligence. They don’t trust science, until they need it. When they need it, well that’s a different story. We live in a society where experts are mocked, it’s bad to be elite, facts are ignored, and sound medical advice is considered evil.
            It is a bizarre time. But, like all things, this too shall pass.

          5. More vaccinated are now dying from Covid than unvaccinated… “trust the science”.
            A Harvard scientist was quoted by a member of the Belmar Environmental Commission in a recent letter to the Editor of The Coast Star that she was actually proud of. The scientist she quoted said that 5G towers along the beach would possibly harm whales?!? If they need to be on the beachfront and have to be on every block because the signals are short range, and they can’t even be positioned even a block inland because they wouldn’t have the range to cover the beach, how are the whales going to be affected? “Trust the science”.
            You claim I lack intelligence; Well, that’s better than lacking in common sense. Make sure you run out and get that Covid Booster soon. Covid season will be upon us before you know it. Apparently they have a new vaccine out already for this season.
            “Trust the science”; As long as it’s not bought and paid for like the politicians and their partisan opinions that aim to gather financial opportunities and not factual communities. This isn’t a rough patch we’re in as you believe. This is a prelude to worldwide geopolitical upheaval which will accelerate through 2026 and end with The Great Reset failing and The Great Awakening revealing that humanity is so much greater than the ruling autocracies ever want us to know.

          6. Um, “more vaccinated people are dying from Covid than unvaccinated”. Let me guess, you get your data from the tin foil hat tribune? You probably don’t trust the CDC data, but there are numerous other sources that show your chances of dying from Covid are far greater if you’re not vaccinated. I know the internet has a lot of ‘experts’ but you can’t just make stuff up. Vaccines have been around for over century and have saved (literally) hundreds of millions of lives. Diseases that used to decimate families (small pox, diphtheria, polio, etc) are no longer an issue. Because incredibly intelligent people developed ways to fight, and in some cases, eradicate these diseases. If mothers from the early part of the 19th century, who would lose 3 of their 5 children to diseases we now inoculate against, could see these anti-vax nut jobs, they would be apoplectic. And I do not think you are not intelligent. Not at all. I actually agree with a lot of the things you say. I just think you are too easily seduced by disinformation because it fits into some of the things you would like to be true, but they’re not.
            The 5g cell towers are completely and utterly pointless. If you don’t have cell reception on the beach, that’s a good thing. It’s the beach for God’s sake. Whether or not they harm whales is not the issue at all. They’re pointless, stupid, and ugly.
            So the great awakening is now 2026? It got moved up? I thought it was 2027? Either way, I’m looking forward.

          7. When all else fails just throw as much information as you can to make yourself seem intelligent beyond measure and bog me down with information. That won’t work. Stop spewing and stick to the facts.

            First of all, “yes” more Covid-19 deaths are among the vaccinated than the unvaccinated. “Your” scientists claim it’s because so very many are now vaccinated that of course deaths among the vaccinated were bound to outpace deaths among the unvaccinated. Common sense tells you unlike the polio vaccine, or measles, or mumps, or rubella, tetanus, Hepititus B, or whooping cough, and many other SUCCESSFUL vaccine programs developed over years that the Covid-19 vaccine isn’t up to standards. This is great though for the drug companies who keep the faithful like yourself in tow. Why not have a different booster for a different strain each and every season when the gravy train stops with the total eradication of the virus?

            When a woman appointed to the Belmar Environmental Commission by our Mayor makes the claim that the 5G towers may do harm to the whales, that’s a HUGE issue. It’s also embarrassing for Belmar and embarrassing The Coast Star would print it. It’s even more vile when she stood there and suggested that a study be done by an engineering firm concerning their impact when her family owns an engineering firm. That same firm performed the independent traffic study for the proposed Mediterranean Project. Remember that one? Dynamic Traffic of Lake Como concluded that the elimination of West Railroad Avenue for construction of The Mediterranean Project with its major increase in residents in a three lot area would not have an increase on traffic along 8th Avenue. Trust the paid experts with degrees and titles, right!? We were lied to once by them, so let’s trust them again. What do the residents who have lived here for decades know? Well for one, anyone who lives near 8th Avenue can tell you when they eliminated the left turn along the Senior Building just across the railroad tracks from 8th Avenue to East Railroad Avenue it increased traffic on 8th Avenue significantly. Eliminating a public thoroughfare from 8th Avenue and turning it into a private driveway wouldn’t have an impact though?!? That’s laughable!! “Trust the traffic science.”

            We are in The Great Awakening NOW. It will take folks like yourself until late 2026, early 2027 to realize it. Folks like former intelligence analysts, and former government physicists who are done blindly listening to government agencies with corrupt ties to the ruling elites, are finally coming forward in droves to expose the fact that we’ve relinquished our liberty and our sovereignty for decades. Soon the “business as usual set” that people like yourself belong to, will suffer from ontological shock when the technology is revealed that will change the world in a matter of just a few short years that they’ve been keeping from us for decades. The geopolitical rift that occurs globally will make for some real upheaval for a short time though and that’s truly worrying to the folks in the know.
            Buckle up Buttercup; I’ll be right back here to tell you, “I told you so”, because that’s the kind of @$$#*!E I am. Meanwhile you’ll certainly be cowering in a corner somewhere saying, “Why isn’t my government here to save me?”

          8. Awesome, thank you for the date range. So I’ll realize the great awakening in late 2026 to early 2027. I marked my calendar. Although I’m not sure how YOU know when I will realize something, but at lease we have a time table. First, I want to apologize for inundating you with ‘information’. That was unfair.
            I am not beholden to pharmaceutical companies or the government. I don’t work for a pharmaceutical company and I am not on any medication. I have been working since I was 13 and never for the public sector. Vaccines are made, essentially, they way they have been making them since 1796. You read that date right. Cowpox, smallpox.
            There is a term in psychology called projection. You are engaging in it in a text book fashion. All vaccines are good except the Covid vaccine? You seem incapable of separating scientific fact from political delusion. Every single reputable study shows that if you don’t get the vaccine, your chances of dying from Covid increase. Literally every one. And the new booster is, in fact, different and designed to protect against the new variant of Covid. Have companies like Pfizer and Moderna made profits on the Covid Vaccine, yes they have. A unfortunate by product of a free market economic system. If it makes you feel any better, all the other vaccines are at the bottom of the pharma balance sheet. The Covid vaccine will be there soon enough. So, to be clear, your theory is that the Covid vaccine is basically useless and is a vast public/private industry collusion that spanned two separate presidential administrations in order to increase profits for a handful of companies? Seems reasonable. So if it is useless, why are you so mad that people get it? I mean I don’t rant and rave when people take useless supplements. Whatever gets you through the night, to each his own, live and let live.
            As for one single person claiming that whales will be affected by 5G. WHO CARES? Why obsess about it? Like I said, those towers should not be installed. So one person claims that they’ll hurt the whales? So be it. It’s one person. You, of all people, should be more accepting of a person who is ostracized by having opinions that are a bit outside the mainstream. Seems like you should have some empathy, no? And by the way, are you mad about the whales comment? Or are you mad that the ‘engineering firm her family owns’ provided a traffic study? Seems like you’re mad about the traffic study and using the whale thing as an excuse to stay angry.
            In any event, I am very excited about the great awakening and I look forward to the ‘I told you so’. I was hoping you could describe the great awaking in a less ambiguous way though. That way, when it happens, we can define it. “The ontological shock when the new technology is revealed” seems a tad vague. “The geopolitical rift that occurs globally”, while cool sounding, lacks definition. Although you may have career writing tag lines for big budget Hollywood movies. Oh, and since I’ve never relied on the government to save me, I can’t imagine cowering in the corner wondering that. A geopolitical rift sounds scary but since we’ve been dealing with various geopolitical rifts since the Europeans figured out how to build ships, I wonder if anyone will even notice.

          9. Once again, it’s not about me as you wish to make it, and once again your misconceptions of the facts just make you appear more and more an outlier or simply a local political operative trying valiantly to discredit me.
            I can tell by your lack of understanding on the recent Jim Bean letter posted here in The Blog and then your trust of elections that you’re the same person whose ego makes you refuse to even bend their opinions when presented with the facts. It’s always the man in the arena that folks like you try to discredit and obviously long to be but haven’t got the courage to operate other than anonymously. Sad, really.

            First of all Cowpox WAS the original vaccine against Smallpox. Cowpox is rather mild and nowhere near as deadly as Smallpox and when Edward Jenner realized that folks who had Cowpox never contracted Smallpox, the solution was to infect healthy individuals with Cowpox to “vaccinate” them from Smallpox. Most vaccines take years to perfect and vaccines against any type of coronavirus are traditionally much more difficult to make effective. There’s a psychological term called The Dunning-Kruger Effect which you are a perfect example of. You get it right for the most part and begin to believe you’re an expert without listening to or consulting the experts or truly doing the research. It’s okay. I was ridiculed with MANY others when I discovered in 2020 that 90% of epidemiologists and research scientists in Europe believed strongly that SARS CoVi-2 was engineered in a laboratory because of the DNA sequencing. We were proved right because we listened to the experts who WORK in labs as doctors and not the folks like Doctor Faucci who have the title and are compromised, pencil pushing shills for the World Health Organization. They were the ones pushing these vaccines across two administrations as you mentioned, while silencing researchers like the US Air Force that proved it’s virtually impossible to contract Covid-19 on a modern commercial airliner; The last place we happened to be wearing masks as a mandate. Also, those doctors in California who started in the summer of 2020 by taking homeless from the streets of Los Angeles and San Francisco and realizing that the infection rate of Covid-19 was 80 times higher than we were being told and that the march to herd immunity was going to be easy. That was until Big Pharma, and The Global Elites realized the profits that could be made and more importantly the control that could be gained from dragging out the shutdowns and stretching the global pandemic out. 200 more billionaires were made in 2022 and 300 million more families fell below the poverty level worldwide during the same time but “nothing to see here” and it won’t lead to global economic collapse. No! We’ll never let that happen; Trust us! We’re The World Economic Forum and now we have your leaders either complacent, complicit, compromised, or corrupt. It’s just a ridiculous “conspiracy theory”. You see, “Oh Wise Anonymous, Half W!+ of The Belmar Blog”, that’s the big difference between 2020 and 1796.
            Now, let’s address Dynamic Engineering and my anger about a bogus independent traffic study now wanting to become a bogus independent study of the proposed 5G towers at the taxpayers’ expense. Because you’re NOT angry like MANY residents leads me to believe you’re a Democrat operative in town. I could be wrong and unlike you I’ll admit it, but since you’re anonymous you have the advantage of lying through your teeth unlike myself. You see, once again you tried the Saul Alinsky/Hillary Clinton “isolate the whistleblower” move, but many local Democrats are more angry than me that Colleen Palus only shows up at council meetings for praise or for profit.

            Finally, let me clear up the vagueness you seem to have about “The Great Awakening”. We’re in it and it’s accelerating now. It’s been predicted by NSA Mathematicians, Theologians, Particle Theorists at CERN, channelers, seers, true clairvoyants, Quantum Physicists, Biologists, UFO/UAP disclosure officials, space weather geophysicists, mystics of The Near East, Yogis of The Far East, archeological experts of vast and newly discovered ancient civilizations, Vedic Astrologers, Epigeneticists, as well as over forty different cultures around the world in their teachings. When the most tuned in, intelligent, broad ranging, and culturally diverse people on Earth all agree on one thing, folks like yourself should take notice but they won’t because their pride and blindness to research something outside of their realm of daily consciousness would be beneath them.

            You seem like you have it all figured out, as well as having me figured out psychologically, so you really should reveal your identity so everyone can congratulate you on being right when it doesn’t occur. You’d just hate to take that risk wouldn’t you. It would mean you are actually a courageous and knowing soul as you long to be so fruitlessly.

          10. So, to be clear: the Covid vaccine is unnecessary and the push to develop it (operation warp speed) during the Trump presidency was merely for profit? So no one really needed it but big pharma pushed the narrative that we all should get it, so they could make a profit? Ok. Hey look, if you want to believe that, who am I to stop you. Live and let live.
            You’ve mentioned the Dunning Kruger effect many, many times. And I’ve pointed out how it appears you are, ironically, misunderstanding it. And, as a result, projecting it.
            I am not a democrat operative, or a Republican operative or even an independent operative. I don’t care enough to be an operative at all. I agree with you that there are powerful people in the world (the wealthiest) who exploit poorest. It has been going on for centuries and it is nothing new or earth shattering. Nor does it require an awakening to see it.
            I am anonymous because I have a right to be. And, again, I don’t care enough to not be. I feel that, while well intentioned, your internet based rants about this and that are actually a pretty ineffective time suck. You mentioned clairvoyants in your long list of groups tuned into the ‘great awakening’. Clairvoyants?!? That’s where you lose me. Well, one of the many places you lose me. If there was such a thing as a person who could see into the future, that would mean there is no such thing as free will. Something I’m surprised someone like you would believe.
            Then you go on to imply that I’m so stupid that I won’t even see the great awakening when it happens. That is certainly convenient. So you can predict this earth shattering event, that has already begun, while claiming that I’m so far gone I won’t be able to see it. So I just get to continue living my life I guess. I’m not gonna lie, that’s kind of a let down.
            You seem extra upset at the fact that a traffic study was done and paid for. I will ask you to try and avoid reading local municipal budget reports. Because towns, counties, and states are frequently asking for, and paying for, traffic studies. Like thousands a year. The only silver lining is that sometimes the proposed developer is asked to pay for it.
            We will never see eye to eye. Except for our agreement on the powerful screwing over the weak, we are vastly different in our assessment of the world. I would love to believe in some kind of paradigm shifting awakening to set things right. But various people have been predicting stuff like that for more than half a millennia. And, predictably, they never materialize. The truth is…that truth is boring and painful.
            You keep on doing what you do. One of the great things about this country is our right to express ourselves. I still think you should take a break from the internet for a few months but I know you are against that. I still maintain that it is bad for you (not you you, the collective you).
            Oh, and disagreeing with you is not the same as trying ‘isolate the whistleblower’. Again, I don’t care enough to isolate anyone. I’m exercising my right to disagree with you. No need to over dramatize. At least I’m engaging with you. Most of the people on this blog just dismiss you with a childish insult.

            .

          11. Once again the facts and history escape you, and the ones that don’t you twist around. Then you always have to get that personal insult in at the end which doesn’t go along with the facts either.
            Most of the folks here “dismiss me with a childish insult” as you say because they lost debate after debate to me over the facts during the Walsifer/Kirschenbaum years that recently have come to pass now that folks aren’t intimidated to tell their neighbors the truth about those dark days of heavy handed local government.
            Here are some more facts that don’t go along with your “feelings”. The CIA used clairvoyants for decades in it’s remote viewing program run out of Stanford University. It was how we got the Soviets to agree to the SALT I and SALT II nuclear accords. You dismiss the use of non-local consciousness and the innate ability of humans to use their superconscious minds to access information in the future which runs parallel to the present but simply on a different quantum plane. Do some research like I’ve done for over three years and look into folks like Stephan Schwarz and listen to his interview on the Next Level Soul Podcast with Alex Ferrari about the use of non-local consciousness, and how he developed the use of remote viewing for the Naval Intelligence Service first for Admiral Zumwalt and then further enhanced it as it became the realm of the Central Intelligence Agency.

            You love to “spew” on here and twist people’s words around. I saw you do it in your comment on the post about “Jim Bean’s Letter…”. I know it’s you because you take one issue and you run with it. It’s illogical and you’re notorious for it. You love to hear yourself talk and you’re dismissive of people when they present facts and then you get personal when you’re overwhelmed by those facts and realize you know very little about a subject you thought you were fluent in. Keep it up. It’s the folks like yourself who’ll suffer the greatest over the coming turmoil in the next few years.

            Remember, my goal isn’t to convince you of anything. It’s to convince the open minded folks reading this who are looking for answers and willing to do the work as so very many before me have done, and many more are doing now, in this age of accelerating enlightenment. Folks like a former President of France and the dozens of former two and three star commanders in The Pentagon and their civilian counterparts who served at NASA who have come out recently during this “tip of the iceberg” disclosure on the UFO/UAP phenomenon. You can try to discredit and silence me all you want; I’m nobody. Once again it’s not about me. However, I refuse to let a simpleton like yourself discredit them and their courage because you don’t rate that privilege even though your inflated sense of self makes you think you do. As soon as Artificial Intelligence gets overlayed onto Quantum Computing the things that will be revealed will swiftly and shockingly change our world and our world’s governments will be turned upside down geopolitically. By 2030 our entire existence as humanity will not resemble what it does now in 2023. You don’t think it’s possible but folks waaaay above your intelligence, courage, and pay grade levels know better and have been talking about this moment in history coming for decades. They’ve been ridiculed by the masses like yourself for that long. The days of ridicule will soon end as vindication is now so very close for these brave men and women. Here’s another tidbit of information they revealed and has been corroborated recently that you’ll ridicule because of your grandiose feelings and lack of fact based research; U.S. defense contractors reverse engineered gravity in 1954!! Laugh all you want, but once again, I’ll be right back here to tell you, “I told you so”, sooner than later because that’s the type of @$$#o(e that I am. 😉

          12. Well I’m glad your goal isn’t to convince me of anything. Because you can consider that goal achieved.
            Why on earth would you think I’m trying to ‘silence you’. That is a really odd statement. I’m arguing with you, that is the opposite of ‘silencing’ you. Besides, as I said, I don’t care enough about any of this stuff to try to silence anyone. I wouldn’t give me, or anyone else, that kind of power.
            You constantly call me simple, dumb, stupid, illogical, and a bunch of other synonyms, yet you complain that I am insulting.
            I agree that 2030 will be different than 2023. There will be a new iPhone, a different mayor, a new surprise hit song, and a binge worthy TV show. Oh, and we’ll all be 7 years older.
            We all know about the ‘clairvoyants’ used by the CIA at the Stanford U study. It’s been public knowledge since the 90s. They weren’t looking into the future, they were trying remote viewing. A dude sits in one room and tries to see a box or an envelope thats in a different room, and so on. The program was a huge success at spending tax dollars.
            Like I said, if the future can be predicted, then there is no such thing as free will. That is as plain as I can put it. Attention: no one’s words were twisted in that sentence. I happen to believe in free will and therefore I do not believe anyone who says that they can predict, or see into, the future. That is my opinion, and nothing more. I am fine with agreeing to disagree. You are clearly convinced of this great awakening that will render the world unrecognizable, and I am not. If it does happen, you are well within your rights to scream “I told you so” from the rooftops. And I will humbly apologize.
            If it doesn’t happen, I will not say ‘I told you so’, but will instead just continue living my life.
            And arguing on the internet.

          13. Once again. It’s not an argument between you and me. It’s an argument between you who once again haven’t done any research, and some of the greatest innovators and out of the box thinkers of our lifetime.
            YES! Stephan Schwarz and the CIA’s remote viewers did view into the future. If you read their transcripts you’d know what they saw. The fact is you never heard of them until I mentioned them. You’re an intellectual poseur! They also found the Temple of Cleopatra and The Temple of Marc Antony as well as The ruins of the Lighthouse of Alexandria in Egypt in addition to the location of a few shipwrecks in the Caribbean rich with gold and were able to retire on the salvage operations. Yup, that happened, but once again you seem to know EVERYTHING and doubt the facts that are easily researched if you swallowed your pride and acted.
            It’s you versus them, not you against me. You haven’t even got out of the gate on the facts and I’m only privileged to the declassified tip of the iceberg, but yet you’ve got it all figured out “Oh Anonymous Genius of The Belmar Blog Whose Inflated Sense Of Their Feelings Supplants The History And Might Of Some Of The Greatest Patriots Of Our Time.”

          14. Hold on a second! I haven’t been arguing with you? I honestly did not realize that. Oh well.
            I hate to break it to you but most people, including me, know about the remote viewing Stamford experiments from the early 80s. There have been many books and movies loosely (some very loosely) based on it. It is not some big secret. It was well publicized as a complete failure. One simple question I have; if it was so monumentally successful, why did they scrap it? Doesn’t make a lot of sense.
            Stephan Schwartz is an interesting man, I will give you that. But he is just a guy who makes a living selling books and how to videos. It’s a cottage industry, and more power to him. This seeing into the future stuff is, to me anyway, like all the rest of the people claiming to see into the future. It’s always, “see what is predicted for 2050 or 2060”. It’s never, predicting every Super Bowl winner or stock prices or catastrophic hurricanes. You can call me unenlightened or ignorant or stupid, but to me it’s just a scam. A way to sell books.
            I’m not standing in the way of ‘great patriots’. We just have different ideas of who the great patriots are.
            One thing we probably can agree on, we both want the world to be a better place. So, for the last time, we can agree to disagree. You believe in peoples abilities to see into the future and predict a great awakening, and I don’t.

          15. No. I won’t agree to anything with you because you haven’t done a bit of the research I have done in the past two years.
            Stop with the redirects, historical rewrites, and the simply poor researching ability. Also, stop trying to single me out as I was recently one of the most skeptical and doubting of what I have reported here. You may indeed be smarter and more worldly and well read than me. On this subject however, you haven’t scratched the surface. You’re below being a novice and continue to detract the experts throughout history. Quantum Physics, Epigenetics, Quantum Computing, Artificial Intelligence and other relatively new realms of science are changing the world in the public eye and also behind the scenes in an exponentially accelerating way.

            Because we’re in The Great Awakening and the intellectual sheep like yourself who go on feelings and not facts are the reason the bifurcation will increase while the enlightened around the world carry water for you and yours.
            Three days last month Google’s Quantum Computer solved a mathematical equation in three days that it was estimated that the most powerful exascale, warehouse sized, supercomputer called “Frontier” would have taken 47 years!
            Now, if you don’t think a technology like that, when interwoven with A.I. in the near future, that computer scientists (Not me you self proclaimed know-it-all… computer scientists) say will be 10,000 times smarter than the average human by 2030 will begin to profoundly change the world by solving physicists biggest equations, revealing waste and abuse within the world’s bureaucracies, and solving issues that plague the Earth relatively simply and efficiently compared to programs such as Big Wind, Big Oil, and Big Pharma you’re not only out of touch about the age we have currently entered, but seethingly out of touch with the subject matter experts worldwide who have predicted we would be here in the mid-2020s for several years. Elon Musk, Eric Weinstein, Gregg Braden, Sadhguru, the Vedic mystics, Donald Hoffman, David Tong, Stephen Greer, the NSA and CIA, are just several of the folks and organizations you’re up against.
            Once again. I’m just the messenger. Now stop trying to get me to agree to disagree with you and start researching so you can blow holes into the research of the most intelligent, out of the box thinkers on Earth. When you’ve done that, get back to THEM. You and I are done here.

          16. I thought we were done. Well at least you have given up on the ‘seeing into the future’ stuff. That was our biggest disagreement. This latest post seems to point out that technology is rapidly increasing. That AI and super computers are getting better at solving complex problems. What a revelation. Yes, that is definitely true. It’s amazing how much better and faster and smarter computers are now than they were 20, 30, 40 years ago. Not exactly earth shattering. And “revealing waste and abuse within the world’s bureaucracies” is not something we need a super computer for. That can be done with old fashioned eyes and ears. Technological advances have been happening since the industrial age. And with every great advancement comes the theory that a change beyond our comprehension is coming. And we always, well, get used to it. Are there great thinkers in this world? Absolutely. Have there always been? Absolutely.
            I am not thinking AI is going to evolve into a “Terminator- Judgement Day” scenario. It will be used for profit. And profit means it will be used to write crappy books and screenplays, paint crappy paintings, and have Robin Williams appear in commercials for Cheerios. Will computers be able to help solve complex problems, yes they will. But they have been doing that since Babbage was tinkering in the 19th century. In my lifetime alone, the technological advancements are astounding. Really astounding. But life in general remains relatively unchanged. I mean social media is a bit of a societal cancer, but that’s just because people are, for the most part, self obsessed. And eggheads will always be able to make money off them.
            So fine, don’t agree to disagree. I figured that’s the best we can do, but you’d rather be angry. In the meantime, I will keep an eye out for the awakening while updating my operating system for the fifth time this month.
