Dear Ones,

Here is an excerpt from an earlier blog to do with Solar Cycles and X-Flares. The great impact of the X-flares of the years 2000-2001 may have been the cause of the phenomena of telepathy and electromagnetic sensitivity that began to affect humankind at that time. To Lightworkers, Wayshowers, and Pathfinders, these phenomena are signs of the 2012 Shift and of the Ascension of Earth to the Fifth Dimension … [Excerpt]

THE X-FLARES OF YEARS 2000-2001 AND THE PHENOMENA OF GLOBAL TELEPATHY AND EMF-SENSITIVITY

For the years 2000 and 2001, during which many people globally began to rise to telepathic Awareness, and to become EMF-sensitive, I did a search of NASA SWPC data available through weekly reports on the NOAA’s National Centers for Environmental Information website, (5) and came up with annual and daily figures for X-flare occurrences. I have included the data for 1999, a pre-maximum year, for contrast …

X-Flares per Year, 1999-2001

Dear Ones,

I hypothesize that certain men who have yogic superpowers may misuse those powers to fleece and murder wealthy women here in the United States.

The case in point is the Hindu psychic crime scandal of 1911. It was a case where a mother died, leaving a fortune to the Vedanta Society, a neo-Hindu group here in America. The daughter thought the mother had been hypnotized into doing this.

The daughter contested the will, fell mysteriously ill, and died 6 months after her mother. The daughter died on the very day the contested will was to be settled in her favor.

THE DEATHS OF SARA CHAPMAN BULL AND HER DAUGHTER OLEA BULL VAUGHAN, ONLY 6 MONTHS APART

TRAILER TO PARAMAHANSA YOGANANDA MOVIE

I was looking at one of the very nice trailers for the new Paramahansa Yogananda video “Awake: The Life of Yogananda,” a few weeks ago …

Link: “AWAKE: THE LIFE OF YOGANANDA Official Trailer #1 (2014) HD,” by FilmIsNowMovieTrailers, 22 August 2014 … https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oORHVf3cu8M ..

… and I came across a section at measuring point 1.16 on the trailer that referred to this article …

MABEL POTTER DAGGETT ON “THE HEATHEN INVASION”

Link: “The Heathen Invasion: American Women Losing Fortunes and Reason Seeking the Eternal Youth Promised by the Swarthy Priests of the Far East,” by Mabel Potter Daggett, in ‘Hampton Columbian Magazine,” Donald Wayne Castellano-Hoyt, Editor, Vol. XXVII, No. 4, October 1911, pp 399-411 … https://books.google.com/books?id=iUdFAAAAYAAJ&pg=PA399&lpg=PA399&dq=mabel+daggett+heathen+invasion+hampton&source=bl&ots=CrZw7NYjp_&sig=d2DqKSpXoKSnhLUjAdKO7hCfb3k&hl=en&sa=X&ved=0ahUKEwiL0PqI0PvbAhXKx4MKHXT7CXcQ6AEINzAD#v=onepage&q=mabel%20daggett%20heathen%20invasion%20hampton&f=false  ..

I saw that the date of the article was 1911, which was 9 years before Yogananda arrived in America, so it could not have been written about him. Intrigued, I delved further. Here is what I found out …

WIKIPEDIA ON THE HINDU PSYCHIC CRIME SCANDAL OF 1911

There was a Miss Sarah Farmer (1847-1916) in New England. In 1892, she went with her father to the Chicago Columbian Exposition, where she met a man named Charles Bonney, a Swedenborgian who had promulgated the notion of holding a World’s Parliament of Religions.

In 1893, Sarah Farmer’s father died. In her grief, she journeyed to Norway with Sara Chapman Thorp Bull (1850–1911), wife of famed musician Ole Bornemann Bull and mother of Mrs. Olea Bull Vaughan (1871-1911). I’ve read that Sara was a disciple of Swami Vivekananda and a religious activist of the Vedanta Society.

Thus she missed the meeting of the Parliament of Religions. at which Swami Vivekananda introduced Hinduism to the United States.

After Miss Farmer’s return to the United States, she set up Greenacre, then a 75-bed inn, as a conference center that might host lecturers on religion. From 1894 to 1899, notable religious lecturers taught at Greenacre. For instance, Swami Vivekananda visited there in 1894. Then in 1900 she converted to the Bahai Faith, and it looks like Greenacre then became the Bahai center of learning that it is today.

Sidebar: Black Men and Black Magic: Black Reversal Curse?

I note that, for a while the Bahai center there hosted Black Men’s Gatherings for African Americans, and that, apparently, these days the term ‘black man’ is tied in, through slang, with the term ‘black magic’ … which might possibly be a black reversal curse against the Bahai Faith.

MORE INFORMATION GARNERED FROM MRS. DAGGETT’S ARTICLE

Returning to Mrs. Daggett’s article, cited above, as a source of information …

Speaking generally of Swamis, she notes that their following then consisted mainly of women, who were attracted to the notion of yoga as a promise of youthfulness and long life. She says that Miss Sarah Farmer’s spent some time in an insane asylum located in Waverly, Massachusetts due to a mental imbalance brought on by studying various religions.

Then she speaks of a Miss Alouise Reuss of Chicago, who was confined to an Illinois asylum after a mental breakdown at the Mazdaznan Temple of the Sun.

Next she speaks of Mrs. Ole Bull, travelling companion of Miss Sarah Farmer. Mrs. Bull died in 1911. Mrs. Bull had lived in Cambridge, Massachusetts. Her will made the Vedanta Society hundreds of thousands of dollars the richer.

PSYCHIC CRIME: IN LEGAL TERMS, MIGHT THIS BE CONSIDERED ‘UNDUE INFLUENCE’?

The will was taken before the court, which re-bequeathed it, citing undue influence and mental incapacity. The former term, undue influence, I find of interest …

Link: “How ‘Undue Influence’ Can Invalidate a Will,” by Mary Randolph, J.D., in FindLaw …    http://www.alllaw.com/articles/nolo/wills-trusts/undue-influence-invalidate.html ..

Fortune Telling Is Considered Fraud in New York State

Fortune telling as fraud is a related topic. New York State, for instance, condemns as fraud fortune telling that claims to have authority over evil spirits or curses ….

“A New York State statute condemns a person who ‘claims or pretends’ to ‘influence or affect evil spirits or curses’ in its prohibition of fortune telling, while letting a person ‘who engages in the aforedescribed conduct as part of a show or exhibition solely for the purpose of entertainment or amusement’ off the hook…. Most current judicial opinions have held that fortune telling in itself is protected speech under the First Amendment, … though some judges have noted that “such devices are routinely, if not uniformly used to bilk or fleece gullible patrons’….”  –from Link: “Fortune Telling Fraud,” in Wikipedia …  https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fortune_telling_fraud ..

To return to the general topic of psychic crime as ‘undue influence’ … In a similar line of thought, claiming undue influence, the court decided, through an agreement with the parties involved, to reassign Mrs. Ole Bull’s fortune to her daughter, Mrs. Olea Bull Vaughan. However, the very day of the award, Mrs. Vaughan died. Mrs. Daggett’s article noted tuberculosis to be the technical cause, but a ‘broken heart’ to be the true reason. In support of the latter, Mrs. Daggett noted that a Mrs. May Wright Sewell, a friend and companion of Mrs. Bull, was then in poor health due to occult studies and yogic practices.

THE DEATHS OF SARA CHAPMAN BULL AND HER DAUGHTER OLEA BULL VAUGHAN, ONLY 6 MONTHS APART

The sudden death, on 18 July 1911, at age 40, following with bitter alacrity on the heels of the death of the mother, on 14 January 1911, at age 61,  seemed untoward to me. I checked with Wikipedia, and with the Cambridge, Massachusetts, newspapers of the time, for more details …

Wikipedia mostly agreed with Mrs. Daggett’s account, and then added a little more information: “Sara [Chapman Bull] left almost her entire estate, valued at approximately US$500,000, to the Vedanta Society. Her daughter challenged the will, went to court to have it annulled. The grounds were insanity because of ‘undue influence’ with the main argument being made by her attorney that ‘Hindus had driven Mrs. Bull insane’; The New York Times calling the trial ‘one of the strangest cases in the history of will contests in this country’.

There was a settlement mostly favourable to Bull’s daughter. However, she died on the day of the settlement. The findings of the civil trial were also not in favour of the defendants….” –from Link: “Sara Chapman Bull,” in Wikipedia … https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sara_Chapman_Bull … CC BY-SA 3.0

MRS. VAUGHAN DIED ON THE DAY HER MOTHER’S ESTATE WAS RE-ASSIGNED FROM THE VEDANTA SOCIETY TO HER

The death of Mrs. Olea Bull Vaughan made page 10 of the “Cambridge Chronicle” on 22 July 1911 …

Link: “Death of Mrs. Olea Bull Vaughan, on Day of Will Settlement: Judge Hobbs, of York County, Me., Gives Decision, Tues., Disallowing Contested Will of Mrs. Ole Bull and Approving Agreement Reached Out of Court by Parties Interested,” in “Cambridge Chronicle,” 22 July 1911, page 10 … https://cambridge.dlconsulting.com/cgi-bin/cambridge?a=d&d=Chronicle19110722-01.2.79 …

The “Cambridge Chronicle” article mentioned that Mrs. Bull Vaughan’s mother, Mrs. Bull, had given large amounts of money to various Indian teachers and their followers.

Also that Mrs. Bull had a close friend, a Mrs. Abbie Shapleigh, whom she accused of having a ‘hostile mental influence’ in her regard. [Perhaps mind control, or a curse, or demonic obsession was meant by this?] Then later, apparently, Mrs. Bull began to believe her daughter Mrs. Vaughan brought a ‘malign mental influence’ to her … an influence [ would this refer to a demon, or perhaps another sort of evil spirit?] that had been in Mrs. Shapleigh’s home.

Thus, as Mrs. Bull lay on her deathbed, she asked that her daughter Mrs. Vaughan be kept away from her. But then Mrs. Bull lost consciousness, and her daughter Mrs. Vaughan was allowed to be at her bedside.

Then the article skips to the death scene for the daughter, Mrs. Vaughan. By her side was the enigmatic Mrs. Abbie E. Shapleigh, along with her two children, said to be like mother and siblings of Mrs. Vaughan, in their degree of friendship with her.

According to the article, Mrs. Vaughan felt, to the bitter end, that she would survive the onslaught of tuberculosis and nerves. She died on 4 March 1871, exactly 6 months after her mother, and on the same day that the contested will was to be settled. From the article, I gathered she may have died just before the settlement was rendered by the court.

THE “CAMBRIDGE TRIBUNE” ACCOUNT OF MRS OLEA BULL VAUGHN’S DEATH

The death of Mrs. Olea Bull Vaughan also made the front page of the “Cambridge Tribune” on 22 July 1911 …

Link: “Death Intervenes: Mrs. Olea Bull Vaughan Passes Away Just as the Famous Will Case Is About to Be Settled,” in “Cambridge Tribune,” Volume XXXIV, Number 21, 22 July 1911, pages 1, 6 … https://cambridge.dlconsulting.com/cgi-bin/cambridge?a=d&d=Tribune19110722-01.2.8 ..

From this article I got a few more details … Mrs. Vaughan was the sole child of Ole Bull, who was a famous violinist. The funeral took place at Mrs. Abbie E. Shapleigh’s home in West Lebanon, Maine. The death apparently took place at 3:30 am on Tuesday, 18 July 1911; that was a few hours before the court met. The funeral took place at 3 pm on Thursday, 20 July 1911, which to my mind was rather soon after the death; July might have been a hot month, though.

The court at Bibbleford, Judge Nathaniel Hobbs presiding, gave effect to Mrs. Vaughan’s award of $500,000 from her mother’s estate. Mrs. Vaughan had one child, Edwina, born on an island called Lysoen, about 200 miles from the Norwegian city of Bergen. Both Edwina Vaughan and Ole Bull were buried in Bergen, Norway.

It was the island Lysoen, and little else, aside from the decorations given him by royalty round the world, that Ole Bull had in worldly goods on his passing. He had made a fortune in Wisconsin lumber, but then lost it. Thus it was that, on his death he had bequeathed the island to his daughter Mrs. Vaughan, and the decorations to Mrs. Bull, his wife.

As you may recall, Mrs. Bull had expressed fear of both her friend Mrs. Abbie Shapleigh, and her daughter Mrs. Vaughan, on her deathbed. Possibly because of this fear, she had left Mrs. Vaughan nothing in her will, aside from a stipend of $3,500 a year.

Mrs. Bull had left her brother Joseph G. Thorp $50,000; he was also to receive the remaining estate on the death of the daughter Mrs. Vaughan. There was also a bequeathal of $30,000 to a friend, Miss Margaret E. Noble, who was at her bedside at her death.

Then there was a Dr. Jagardis Chunder Bose, of Calcutta, of Raja Yogi; he received $20,000. I’ve read in Wikipedia that Swami Vivekananda, introduced Raja Yoga to the United States. Thus possibly, he was a friend or follower of Swami Vivekananda …

Link: “Swami Vivekananda,” in Wikipedia … https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Swami_Vivekananda ..

Link: “Jagadish Chandra Bose On Swami Vivekananda,” in Swami Vivekananda Quotes,” 25  December 2013 … http://swamivivekanandaquotesgarden.blogspot.com/search?q=Jagadish+Chandra+Bose+On+Swami+Vivekananda ..

I read that Mrs. Vaughan told the court contesting the will that her mother had been ‘of unsound mind’ and also ‘unduly influenced’. It would be interesting to view the transcripts of the trial, as apparently some of the testimony was quite vivid.

Mrs. Vaughan, after the death of her daughter Edwina, had adopted three children: Dorothy, David, and Sylvia. The Cambridge Chronicle article opined that these adopted children would receive bequests from Mrs. Vaughan, as might her close friend and lawyer, Ralph S. Bartlett, who had argued long and ably in her interest.

The newspaper further opined that Mr. Bartlett might be an executor of the estate, though perhaps not the only executor.

The Funeral of Mrs. Vaughan and the Violin Music of Her Father, Ole Bull

Interestingly, Mrs. Vaughan was to be buried in a West Lebanon, Maine, burial lot owned by the Shapleighs [perhaps relatives of the enigmatic Mrs. Abbie E. Shapleigh? ]. In fact, the funeral, which took place at 3 pm on Thursday, 20 July 1911, was held at Mrs. Abbie E. Shaplelgh’s home … where Mrs. Vaughan had died two days prior.

At the funeral, two famous musical pieces composed by her father Ole Bull were played: “Adagio Religioso” and “Saetergentens Sondag” …

VIdeo: “Ole Bull: Adagio Religioso A Mother’s Prayer (En Moders Bøn), by Arve Tellefsen,” by Muzikazaile, 5 November 2012 … https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=K7YZQoAEAjw .. and 

Video: “Ole Bull Sæterjentens Søndag,” by qq559yed, 26 June 2010 …  https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZXqnLooMLO0 ..

CONCLUSION

Could the mysterious deaths of Sara Chapman Thorp Bull and her daughter Olea Bull Vaughan have had to do with the devious stratagems of black magic? Had they to do with obsession or possession by evil spirits, perhaps through curses laid by a practitioner of the occult arts? By men who seemed pure and public minded, if exotically robed and oddly spoken, but who, in truth, held the aim of greedy acquisition more dear than the sacrifice of that most precious of gifts, life in human form?

I expect that, as time goes on, and as telepathy for all humankind becomes an accustomed fact of life, legal systems around the world will begin to grapple with concerns regarding psychic crime (‘psychic crime’) and the undue influence that mind control by spiritual adepts espousing the heresy of consequentialism might be thought to have upon the lives of its purported hapless, and all too often female, victims.

The first article describes how the reign of the dinosaurs ended at the end of the Cretaceous period (about 66 million years ago). According to the article, the present day survivors of the dinosaurs are the birds. This was but one of the explosions of life forms that have taken place through the long history of the evolution of life on Earth.

EVOLUTION OF LIFE ON EARTH

As you may know, intelligent, primordial bacteria from Mars were the first Earth colonists. That first wave, about 4 billion years ago, established the Elder Race on Earth. Because of its superb genetic engineering ability, it has morphed to fill every available eco-niche on Earth, including extreme habitats such as volcanoes, deep sea habitats, irradiated habitats, and extremely cold habits.

It has also created the vast panoply of life forms now on Earth, including mammals such as ourselves, which it employs as protective ‘space stations’ for a multitude of friendly, co-existing bacterial strains.

Over the aeons, there have been influxes of genetic material to Earth, attributed in the occult literature to beneficent planning on the part of our star brothers and sisters.

The mechanism of this influx of genetic material has heretofore been cloaked in mystery. For instance, there was the Cambrian explosion …

“The Cambrian explosion or Cambrian radiation … was an event approximately 541 million years ago in the Cambrian period when most major animal phyla appeared in the fossil record … It lasted for about about 13 – 25 million years and resulted in the divergence of most modern metazoan phyla … The event was accompanied by major diversification of other organisms …

“Before the Cambrian explosion, … most organisms were simple, composed of individual cells occasionally organized into colonies. Over the following 70 to 80 million years, the rate of diversification accelerated, and the variety of life began to resemble that of today … Almost all present animal phyla appeared during this period.” — from Link: “Cambrian explosion,” in Wikipedia … https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cambrian_explosion … CC BY-SA 3.0 Unported

Hypothesis: Martian Bacterial Space Travelers Surviving on Cosmic Rays as Food?

As yet, I have been unable to ascertain the cause of this Cambrian explosion of life forms. However, I would like to propose transmission by meteorites of intelligent Martian bacteria, which may have fed for billions of years on cosmic rays, which altered them genetically. In support of this, we have the knowledge that there are bacteria dwelling on Earth today, which survive on cosmic rays …

Link: “Alien life could feed on cosmic rays,” by Jessica Boddy, 7 October 2016 … http://www.sciencemag.org/news/2016/10/alien-life-could-feed-cosmic-rays ..

The above article describes how the bacterium Desulforudis audaxviator has been found in South African gold mine lives on radioactive uranium. This article posits that exobiological, extremophilic life forms (in this case bacteria) may survive on radiation. They are thinking, most likely, of planets or asteroids without atmosphere. However, this theory would equally well apply to sustenance of intelligent bacterial space colonists utilizing meteoroids for space travel.

CHICXULUB IMPACTOR

Then there was the the Chicxulub Impactor that hit the Yucatan Peninsula at the end of the Cretaceous Perior, about 66 million years ago, as described in the above-cited National Geographic article. Here is Wikipedia on the topic …

“The Chicxulub impactor … also known as the K/Pg impactor and (more speculatively) as the Chicxulub asteroid, was an asteroid 10 to 15 kilometres (6 to 9 mi) in diameter …  which struck the Earth at the end of the Cretaceous, approximately 66 million years ago, … creating the Chicxulub crater. It impacted a few miles from the present-day town of Chicxulub in Mexico, after which the impactor and its crater are named. Because the estimated date of the object’s impact and the Cretaceous–Paleogene boundary (K–Pg boundary) coincide, there is a scientific consensus that its impact was the Cretaceous–Paleogene extinction event which caused the death of most of the planet’s non-avian dinosaurs and many other species …” — from Link: “Chicxulub impactor,” in Wikipedia … https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chicxulub_impactor … CC BY-SA 3.0 Unported

CHICXULUB: A PINPOINT STRIKE

This asteroid hit Earth in just the right location … what you might call a ‘pinpoint strike’ …  to cause the extinction of the dinosaurs …

A Plan for Genetic Upgrade by the Guardians or Elohim?

Was the striking place of the Chicxulub impactor a random hit, or was it a planned hit? If the latter, then might the plan have been made by the Guardians or Elohim, who weave the plan of life for our Solar System, as expressed in “The Law of One: The Ra Material” …

LInk: “The Law of One: The Ra Material,” Chapter 9 … https://www.lawofone.info/results.php?s=9 … On that page, with regard to the ‘Red Planet’ Q and A’s, search the term ‘guardian’ (which I equate to the Elohim described by the School of Theosophy) … I especially recommend these Question-Answers …

Note that Question-Answer 9.8 … https://www.lawofone.info/results.php?s=9#8 … seems to me to be overall correct; The bipedal form of Martians apparently died during the catastrophic loss of atmosphere there. However, the bipedal life there (see my Martian Archives blogs) … through the Martians’ superb skill at genetic manipulation … was microscopically reduced, for portability, and encased in a hard exo-shell for protection. Some achieved space travel, as described in one of my Martian blogs, and others remained to eke out a living in the fiercely morphed planetary environment of Mars. These are those with whom the Earth human space colonists will soon come in contact.

A Plan for Genetic Upgrade by the Sirians, by the Hathors of Venus, or by the Hathors of Earth’s Solar Astral Planes?

Or, might it have been a plan made by our star brethren on Sirius (the forebears of the Hathors of the planet Venus, who went through the Ascension process before us) as expressed in Judy Satori’s book, and in “The Law of One,” cited above?

Or might the Hathors of Earth’s Solar Astral Planes have been involved? Say specifically, the Ra expedition (which is a benevolent expedition described in “The Law of One,” quite the opposite of the demonically inspired ‘Ra’ of the early “Stargate” movie).

Or even more specifically, the Ra-En, whom I encountered some years ago?

PROPOSED 3D MECHANISM OF DISTRIBUTION OF GENETIC MATERIAL WITHIN OUR SOLAR SYSTEM

Just going on the hypothesis that benevolent life in the higher dimensions arranged the Chicxulub meteorite impact, then we might posit the 3D mechanism as being an influx of intelligent bacterial genetic material altered through long-time space travel, using the meteorite as a space ship, and cosmic rays for food. And that the cosmic rays altered these intrepid space travelers’ genetic material before the Earth impact. And that, through the Martians’ superb genetic manipulative ability, the newcomers’ genetic material merged with that of the then-bacterial life forms, prompting the explosion of new species on Earth, including bird life and greatly diversified mammalian life.

ORIGIN OF THE CHICXULUB METEORITE

I was curious where the Chicxulub meteorite originated. Here is Wikipedia’s answer …

“In September 2007, a report published in Nature proposed an origin for the asteroid that created the Chicxulub crater … The authors, William F. Bottke, David Vokrouhlický, and David Nesvorný, argued that a collision in the asteroid belt 160 million years ago resulted in the Baptistina family of asteroids, the largest surviving member of which is 298 Baptistina. They proposed that the “Chicxulub asteroid” was also a member of this group. The connection between Chicxulub and Baptistina is supported by the large amount of carbonaceous material present in microscopic fragments of the impactor, suggesting the impactor was a member of a rare class of asteroids called carbonaceous chondrites, like Baptistina … According to Bottke, the Chicxulub impactor was a fragment of a much larger parent body about 170 km (106 mi) across, with the other impacting body being around 60 km (37 mi) in diameter … In 2011, new data from the Wide-field Infrared Survey Explorer revised the date of the collision which created the Baptistina family to about 80 million years ago. This makes an asteroid from this family highly improbable to be the asteroid that created the Chicxulub crater, as typically the process of resonance and collision of an asteroid takes many tens of millions of years … In 2010, another hypothesis was offered which implicated the newly discovered asteroid P/2010 A2, a member of the Flora family of asteroids, as a possible remnant cohort of the K/Pg impactor …”–from Link: “Chicxulub crater,” in Wikipedia … https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chicxulub_crater#Astronomical_origin_of_asteroid … CC BY-SA 3.0 Unported

SUN-WARD TRAJECTORY OF MARTIAN SPACE TRAVEL VIA METEORITE: ASTEROID BELT (REMAINS OF PLANET MALDEK) … MARS … EARTH

The hypothesis, then, is that, about 160 million years ago, there was a collision in the Asteroid Belt.

As you may know, the Asteroid Belt … the remains of the planet Maldek (in “The Law of One: The Ra Material” … https://www.lawofone.info/ … Search the term: Maldek) … exists beyond the planet Mars, which exists beyond the planet Earth, in our Solar System …

Image: Solar System … https://vignette.wikia.nocookie.net/sistema-solar/images/0/0f/Solar-system-lrg.sp.png/revision/latest?cb=20130214063228 ..

Thus a meteorite from the Asteroid Belt, proceeding on a trajectory Sun-ward, would first pass through the orbit of Mars, then onward through the orbit of Earth.

Thus, were one of the carbonaceous Baptistina family of asteroids to pass glancingly through the atmosphere of Mars orbit, it might pick up, in the Mars atmosphere, intelligent bacteria spewn skyward by a wind storm, or by a volcanic eruption.

These might then survive the long space voyage … say, half of 94 million years, at most (half the difference between the time of the proposed creation of the Baptistina family of asteroids about 160 million years ago, and the impact of the Chicxulub meteor about 66 million years ago) by using cosmic rays as food.

Looks like the date of creation of the Baptistina group was later revised to 80 million years ago, which would hypothetically shorten the space transit time to an improbable half, say of the difference between 80 million years and 66 million years (from the time of creation in the Asteroid Belt to that of Earth impact) … or half of 14 million years. Assuming it took the meteorite as long to get from the Asteroid Belt to the Mars atmosphere, as it did for it to get from the Mars atmosphere to the surface of planet Earth.

Then there was another proposal, put forth in 2010, and described in the above Wikipedia excerpt, regarding asteroid P/2010 A2, as the cause of the Chicxulub impact.

No doubt, science will continue to refine and hone in on the origin of the Chicxulub meteorite. Regardless, the 3D mechanism of transmission of intelligent bacterial genetic material might be posited to be the same.

FELICITY OF JUXTAPOSITION OF THE TWO “NATIONAL GEOGRAPHIC” ARTICLES

So then, getting back to the first part of this two-blog series, you can see why the juxtaposition of the “National Geographic” articles on the Chicxulub impact, with the changeup of life on Earth it sponsored, and the article on a human colony on Mars, which brings up the likelihood of prototypical Martian bacterial and Earth-morphed bacterial gene splicing, is so apt.

Both have to do with intelligent Martian bacterial space colonization. Of course, space flight on an errant, slow-moving meteorite is quite different from the modern-day convenience of piggybacking on the space explorations of the Martians’ friendly ‘space station’ human allies.

What Could We Expect in Federal, State and Local Revenue Increases if Recreational Drugs Were Legalized? . by Alice B. Clagett *

  • MORE INFORMATION

Dear Ones,

$27.8B FEDERAL DRUG CONTROL ANNUAL EXPENSE

According to Forbes, the war on drugs costs the United States over $78 billion a year …

Link: “Doc Series ‘The Trade’: The War On Drugs Costs The U.S. Over $78B A Year,” by Dana Feldman, contributor, in Forbes, 9 February 2018 …  https://www.forbes.com/sites/danafeldman/2018/02/09/doc-series-the-trade-the-war-on-drugs-costs-the-u-s-over-78b-a-year/#3076314a2c1b .. 

However, this includes addiction treatment, healthcare, and lost job productivity in addition to federal drug control expense. As it is the federal drug control expense that would be curtailed by legalization, I looked that up. The federal drug control expense for 2018 is estimated to be $27.8 billion dollars … That would mean the other costs … addiction treatment, healthcare, and lost job productivity … tally about $50.2 billion dollars a year.

Link: “Total federal drug control spending in the United States from FY 2013 to FY 2020 (in million U.S. dollars),” by Matej Mikulic, 23 January 2020, in Statista: The Statistics Portal … https://www.statista.com/statistics/618857/total-federal-drug-control-spending-in-us/ ..

$132B ESTIMATED ANNUAL INCREASE IN TAX REVENUES FROM NATIONWIDE LEGALIZATION OF MARIJUANA

According to the Washington Post, nationwide legalization of marijuana might result in $132 billion tax revenues annually …

Link: “Post Nation: Study: Legal marijuana could generate more than $132 billion in federal tax revenue and 1 million jobs,” by Katie Zezima, 10 January 2018 …  https://www.washingtonpost.com/national/2018/01/10/study-legal-marijuana-could-generate-more-than-132-billion-in-federal-tax-revenue-and-1-million-jobs/?utm_term=.dee696c70135 ..

It seems to me that generation of jobs is a moot point in the above article, since the jobs are already there, in our economy, but just not included in the job statistics. Further, income tax revenue from legalization of these jobs is included as part of the $132 billion revenue figure in the above article.

So, the important figure there is the $132 billion annual revenue for nationwide legalization of marijuana, I note this figure takes into account payroll tax deductions, a retail sales tax of 15 percent, and business tax revenues, which seems appropriate to me. I note also they are calculating federal revenue rather than state or local revenue (i.e., ‘sin taxes’).

$708.6B ESTIMATED INCREASE IN TAX REVENUES FROM NATIONWIDE LEGALIZATION OF ALL RECREATIONAL DRUGS

I was unable to find comparable estimates for generation of revenue from legalization of sales of all categories of recreational drugs, including marijuana, cocaine, heroin, and other recreational drugs. However, this may be estimated as follows:

According to a 2010 Cato Institute report, the ratio of tax revenues for legalization of all drugs, to tax revenues for legalization of marijuana, was 46.7B : 8.7B. For these data, see …

Link: “Commentary: Making an Economic Case for Legalizing Drugs,” by Jeffrey Miron and Katherine Waldock. This article appeared in The Philadelphia Inquirer on 3 October 2010 … https://www.cato.org/publications/commentary/making-economic-case-legalizing-drugs ..

Plugging this ratio into the more recent estimate of $132B annual marijuana revenue, we get:

46.7B / 8.7B = X / 132B  … and

X = $708.6B … X being the current estimated annual revenues for legalization of all drugs nationwide.

$686.2B ESTIMATED ANNUAL NET IMPROVEMENT IN THE FEDERAL BOTTOM LINE

This estimate of $708.6B may be on the high side. However, going with this figure, and using the prior bolded figures, let’s consider what federal revenue changes might take place if all recreational drugs were legalized nationwide.

  • The current $50.2 billion dollar cost for addiction treatment, healthcare, and lost job productivity would stay roughly the same.
  • The current $27.8 billion dollar annual federal drug control expense would be greatly curtailed.
  • The current estimated annual revenues for legalization of all drugs nationwide would be $708.6B.

On the plus side for the federal government are the last two bullets: $27.8B plus $708.6B = a total of $736.4B total ‘fattening of the federal coffers’.

This increase in the federal bottom line might resolve the issue of the first-bullet minus: A portion of the federal increase might be set aside to completely cover the $50.2 billion dollar annual cost for addiction treatment, healthcare, and lost job productivity would stay roughly the same.

This would leave a net improvement in the federal bottom line of $736.4B less $50.2B = net $686.2B. 

$17B ESTIMATED ANNUAL IMPROVEMENT IN THE STATE AND LOCAL BOTTOM LINE DUE TO ‘SIN TAX’ INCREASES

An added plus would be sin taxes on that might optionally be levied by state and local governments. In 2014, state sin taxes for were $32.5B for currently legal activities and products such as alcohol, tobacco, casino, racino, and gaming. The largest category was tobacco at $16.9B.

The retail value of 2017 annual tobacco sales in the United States was about $121B …

Link: “Market value of tobacco in the United States from 2013 to 2018 (in million U.S. dollars),” in Statista: The Statistics Portal,” https://www.statista.com/statistics/491709/tobacco-united-states-market-value/ ..

From 2000 to 2010, Americans spend about $100B annually on illegal drugs, including cocaine, marijuana, heroin, and methamphetamine, according to the RAND Drug Policy Research Center for the Office of National Drug Control Policy. This is the most recent figure I have on the market value of illegal drugs in the United States, so I’ll go with this.

Link: “Americans Spent About A Trillion Dollars On Illegal Drugs In The Last Decade,” by Matt Ferner, 13 March 2014, in Huffington Post … https://www.huffingtonpost.com/2014/03/13/americans-trillion-dollars-drugs_n_4943601.html ..

Looking at these two figures: 2017 annual tobacco sales at $121B, and 2010 estimated annual illegal drug sales at $100 billion, we might consider these to be roughly equal.

Thus the sin tax on legalized recreational drugs sales might be anticipated to be about what states and local governments receive in annual sin tax for tobacco: that is, about $17B annually.

FEDERAL LEGISLATION THAT MIGHT GET AROUND THE MORAL ISSUE STATES HAVE WITH LEGALIZATION OF DRUGS

This crunching of the figures makes it clear that the most logical thing to do would be to legalize all recreational drugs, and generate federal and state revenues from their sales. However, many people in the United States have strong moral stands on recreational drugs.

In fact, the fury over legalization, or criminalization, of recreational drug use in America today is very similar to the fury over alcohol use that resulted in Prohibition … a ban on alcohol sales and use from 1920 to 1933. As I understand it, criminal activity around ‘bootlegging’ skyrocketed during those years. Then when Prohibition was repealed in 1933, the crime wave abated, and federal and local governments began to benefit from liquor revenues.

I feel we might have the same benefits with regard to recreational drugs in this way …

  • The federal government might legalize all recreational drug use and sales.
  • States might have the power to prohibit recreational drug use and sales, either altogether or in part.
  • Those states that legalize recreational drug use and sales, either altogether or in part, might get the benefit of remuneration by the federal government, based on increased federal revenues from recreational drug sales in their state.
  • Federal remuneration to states that decide to legalize recreational drugs might be earmarked for drug-use-related health care, addiction treatment, and health education for schools, and for drug users and their families.
