Penalties for Shooting Migratory Birds, Including Ravens, Songbirds, and Many Other Types of Birds . by Alice B. Clagett *

What problem? Oh, the problem of ETs on Earth?
But what if the ETs are us humans?
What if all the beings on Earth are ETs?

Then again, what if, as the Buddhists say, all the beings on Earth are humans?
What if, as the Esotericists say, rocks are humans too? My gosh! Rock my world!

Dear Ones,

Just in case there should be a knee-jerk reaction to nuke all the birds in my neighborhood, I looked up penalties for shooting migratory birds. Since these are laws, I think I’m on the safe side to quote verbatim.

Here is what I found out …

Penalties for shooting migratory birds, including Ravens, Songbirds, and many other types of birds are as follows …

“Misdemeanor offenses shall be fines a maximum of $5000 and or imprisoned for not more than six months for individuals, or $10,000 fine for an organization.

“Felony offenses shall be fined maximum of $250,000 and/or imprisoned for not more than two years for an individual or $100,000 for an organization.

“All guns, nets, traps, and other equipment vessels, vehicles, and other means of transportation used by any person while pursuing, hunting, taking, trapping, ensnaring, capturing, killing, or in making any attempt thereof shall be forfeited to the United States and held under the authority of the Secretary of Interior.” — from https://www.epa.gov/enforcement/criminal-provisions-us-criminal-code-title-18-and-other-statutes ..

Here is a List of Migratory Birds covered by the above penalties. Search by name of bird … e.g., Raven. If you find that bird on the list, then the penalties apply. …

If you find a bird on the above list, then the penalties mentioned earlier apply.

There are other laws to which these penalties apply, so even though you don’t find the bird you are searching for on the list, it is possible that your quarry may still net you a hefty fine or prison sentence.

. . . . .

It is a regular land mine out there in our back yards. Better to make a peace offering than to wage war, I feel. For instance, I put up a bird feeder with birdseed in it on the back porch. Seems to work wonderfully well.

Then I tried a hummingbird feeder. That is also a huge success; hummingbirds everywhere!

Crime Alert: Check Your Yard for Spyware Set by Burglary Tourists in Los Angeles . by Alice B. Clagett

Crime prevention: Cameras disguised as ivy leaves are being used by burglary tourists in Los Angeles.

Crime Alert: Check Your Yard for Spyware Set by Burglary Tourists in Los Angeles

Crime Tips

Dear Ones,

This morning I read an interesting article about a spy camera disguised as an ivy leaf …

Link: “LA County Neighborhood Rattled by Hidden Flowerbed Camera,” by Paige Austen, 30 May 2024, in Patch.com for Los Angeles … https://patch.com/california/los-angeles/la-county-neighborhood-rattled-hidden-flowerbed-camera ..

The spy camera was found in an upscale yard in Los Angeles. Someone sighted a suspect driving in the area and apprehended him. They found dirt disturbed in a planter, and figured a ring of burglars was using the spyware to find out when the homeowners might be away from home, so they could break in undisturbed.

The police also found a hard hat and a vest, which they figured might be worn by the thieves to allay suspicion as they approach a house they intend to rob.

Considering these facts, what course of action ought homeowners in Los Angeles take?

Check our ivy plants for surveillance cameras disguised as ivy leaves? Check for solar battery. If it is regular battery, then it will need to be replaced from time to time, so notice who has access to ivy in your yard.

How about this?: REMOVE ivy in your yard!

In a similar vein: Who has access to the software that displays your security camera images on your handheld? What country is the software company located in? Does that country’s Department of Defense have access to cameras in your front and back yards?

If that country is territorially aggressive, to whom would they give access to the software?

To Realtors in the United States?
To criminals in the US?
To ‘burglary tourists’ from other countries, such as the South American Theft Gangs mentioned in the Patch.com article?

If the latter, then the ivy camera in the article is a way for them to get images of your front and back yards should surveillance camera access be unavailable.

This may sound daunting, but much can be done to deter would-be thieves.

I am a member of Neighborhood Watch. We do our best to keep our neighborhoods safe.

Please join the Neighborhood Watch in your home town, and help us keep our homes and neighborhoods safe. Together we can do what may be done to foil these spyware devices and to foil the plans of would-be burglars!

In love, light and joy

Are Tween Boys Being Cannibalized in the Valley? Or Is This Just a Geostorm Astral Flub Up? . by Alice B. Clagett

. . . . .

Dear Ones,

There have been three G-1 geostorm warnings in the last few days, and the astral airs are at it again. This time it has to do with savage treatment of tween sex workers, purportedly here in the San Fernando Valley.

The astral airs are often way so emotionally out there, so fasten your seat belts! Here is what is surfing around in the noosphere right now.

This has to do with ‘hebephilia‘ in a gay male context. Hebephilia, according to English Wikipedia, is a strong preference by adult males for pubescent or ‘tween’ children … children who are experiencing early adolescence.

Here are the astral nightmares that the geostorms have apparently stirred up …

Senior 80s men got hold of an eighth grade (ages 13 to 14) class roster. They are culling the list and promising the boys on the list $600 for sex work.

Calls to the boys are taking place at about 2 pm on Friday, Saturday, and Sunday afternoons, and the action occurs between then and sunset … during daylight hours … on the same day.

According to the astral airs … which I sincerely hope will prove unreliable … the seniors are teaming up in twos or threes to take advantage of the boys.

One is a woman who makes the calls to the tween boys. She selects boys with no strong father figure to protect them, or boys who have recently arrived in the community, so that their parents have not strong social connections here yet. She tells the boys they will get $600 for a sexual encounter with a man, and tells them the address where they should go.

One is a voyeur lookout and accomplice. He trespasses through a neighbor’s property, and opens a neighbor’s gate to let the tween boy through. He uses the neighbor’s gate without the neighbor’s permission. He does this so that the boys will not know where he himself lives, or who he is.

(1) The boy traverses this property to a property behind. There he meets another senior. This senior tries to knock him unconscious with a wooden bat or plank of wood. The boy escapes within an inch of his life, retraces his steps, finds the neighbor’s gate locked, scales the gate, and escapes.

(2) Here is another instance: Two tween boys approach the rendezvous on bicycles. There is no one there to open the gate. The voyeur sees the boys, but does not get out in time to open the neighbor’s gate. Disappointed (but alive!) they return home.

(3) Here is an awful third instance: A lone tween boy arrives for the rendezvous, is taken by trespass through the neighbor’s property to the place where the other boy got a knock on the head with a plank of wood.

Because the older man cannot attain an erection, he brutalizes the boy with a jagged piece of wood. He gives the boy not $600 but $60. The boy barely makes it back home before collapsing. In a few days he is running a fever and two weak to walk.

The Emergency Room finds that the foreign object used by his attacker has pierced his intestinal wall and also his peritoneum, allowing germs to invade his vital organs. The tween is at the door of death, but the hospital administers a massive dose of antibiotics, and after a few days manages to bring the infection under control.

With promise of life restored, the tween spends 5 weeks flat on his back waiting for intestinal intestinal incision to heal. For the next six months he is restricted to a liquid diet; this allows the stitches to heal completely. It is a year and a half before he can resume sexual activities.

(4) Here is a final ‘out there’ instance that I find very upsetting: A lone tween boy arrives for the rendezvous, is taken by trespass through the neighbor’s property to the place where the other boy got a knock on the head with a plank of wood.

This time the knock on the head works as planned. The boy is knocked unconscious, brutalized sexually, and then murdered and cannibalized. That is to say, the hebephiles cook and eat his body.

It is a mystery to me how this sort of behavior could for a long time be concealed. Is it at all possible that this is taking place? What would become of the body parts left over? Might they be buried in backyards in the Valley? Might they be placed in dumpsters, possibly commercial dumpsters in the shopping malls?

On the other hand, could it be that this is just way so gruesome a notion that law enforcement and our community simply avert their eyes and throw the notion into the trash heap of the denser energies of the noosphere?

In other words, is this just so gruesome that LAPD cannot believe it is happening … and so the law does not stop this from occurring again and again?

Let’s get to the bottom of this together! Is it geostorm stuff and nonsense? Or is it ‘acting out’ in a major way that may be spurred on by roiling of Earth’s atmosphere by Earth-directed CMEs?

In love, light and joy

Dear Ones,

SUMMARY OF THE VIDEO

Hello, Dear Ones, It’s Alice. I Am of the Stars.

I am here today to talk to you a little about beasts in human form. I have talked about it in the past, but never so succinctly; and I am hoping this will do the trick this time, and wrap everything up.

To illustrate, I have “The Great Red Dragon and the Woman Clothed with the Sun,” which I will discuss briefly at the end of this video …

Image: “The Great Red Dragon and the Woman Clothed with the Sun,” by William Blake, put up by User Golgata on en.wikipedia, in Wikimedia Commons … https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Blakedragon2.jpg … public domain … DESCRIPTION: A golden, winged woman, about to give birth, is kneeling with arms defensively outstretched, looking up at a big, muscular, beige-colored dragon hovering menacingly in the air just over her head. The dragon has human legs and arms, ram’s horns, wings, and a tail; it is wearing a simple, spiked crown … COMMENTS: This painting is a good illustration of the attack of the group Soul of the ‘beasts in human form’ because they often attack through mind control … ‘from above’, as it were … as if they were hovering in the air. That is a danger to the sanity of a person. In addition, as is well known, they may attack in physical form. That is a danger that will most likely cost a person his or her life.

The dragon has human legs and arms, ram’s horns, wings, and a tail; it is wearing a simple, spiked crown …

COMMENTS: This painting is a good illustration of the attack of the group Soul of the ‘beasts in human form’ because they often attack through mind control … ‘from above’, as it were … as if they were hovering in the air. That is a danger to the sanity of a person. In addition, as is well known, they may attack in physical form. That is a danger that will most likely cost a person his or her life.

. . . . .

I am reading the writeup for you …

Here is a gruesome topic. This is what I have found out about one sort of unusual beings on Earth. These beings are cunning, deceptive, and appallingly cruel.

This video is definitively not about my family or my friends. It has to do with some ‘beasts in human form’ that I encountered in the ‘cults that kill’ that I wrote about in the year 2018 or thereabouts. Luckily I live to tell the tale. And so, I hope, may you!

Roaming the earth, and intermixing with us as if they were human, are ‘beasts in human form’. These must be treated as if they were wild animals so as to prevent fatal injury to ourselves. If they can be captured, then they must be locked up in solitary confinement for the criminally insane.

These unusual ‘beasts that talk’ have, through some fluke of incarnation, attained human form, but they are not ‘individuated’ human beings. They have a group Soul that they share with other beasts in human form.

The group Soul of these beings exerts a tremendous mind control and black magic influence over normal human beings.

Normal human beings have individual Souls. When they are attacked by one of the beasts in human form, the force of the beasts’ group Soul will destroy the sanity and then destroy the life of the normal person. The only ray of hope for the man or woman under attack is this: They must unite their will, their heart, and their mind with the great Will, the great Heart, and the great Mind of God.

This is the practice of Advaita … of oneness with God. If a person is able to practice Advaita, then he or she will find that the force of God’s Will dispels the evil onslaught of the group Soul of the ‘beasts in human form’.

Even from a great physical distance, beasts in human form are drawn to attack saints because they are attracted to the Light that shines forth from the saints’ Souls. The only way for the saint to stay alive is for him or her to pass the final test of sainthood. That is the act of Advaita described above.

. . . . .

That is the story. And now, back to the image by William Blake, “The Great Red Dragon and the Woman Clothed with the Sun,” which is shown above. You can see that the Great Red Dragon is hovering in the air over the Woman Clothed with the Sun. The Bible passage is …

Revelation 12:3-4

3. “And there appeared another wonder in heaven; and behold a great red dragon, having seven heads and ten horns, and seven crowns upon his heads.

4. “And his tail drew the third part of the stars of heaven, and did cast them to the earth; and the dragon stood before the woman which was ready to be delivered, for to devour her child as soon as it was born.” –Revelation 12:3-4 (KJV)

My comment on this image is: “This painting is a good illustration of the attack of the group Soul of the ‘beasts in human form’ because they often attack through mind control … ‘from above’, as it were … [see how the beast is hovering above the woman?] … as if they were hovering in the air. That is a danger to the sanity of a person [because they are near your mind]. In addition, as is well known, they may attack in physical form. That is a danger that will most likely cost a person his or her life.”

In order for them to attack in physical form, it goes without saying that they have to be very close to us. So, if we sense something odd is in the air, and if we have an odd premonition about a particular person, I think it is a good idea to distance ourselves from them physically … to walk away, or to drive away, or to get away … in some way to distance ourselves from them to prevent the type of danger that they might cause us.

You know, there is a story behind the above-referenced passage in Revelation 12. This woman is pregnant, and the dragon swoops down, and the dragon wants to devour the woman’s child.

What that means to me is that these beasts in human form are inimical to … they are the enemies of … continuing life in human society. That is because the beast attempts to devour the children of humankind.

The beast … if it could … would end human life on Earth … because there would be no more children, you see?

………………..
Sidebar: ‘Beasts in Human Form’ Are Intent on Preventing Women from Giving Birth

For instance, in one of the ‘cults that kill’ that I encountered way back when, there were no children at all. It seemed to me … admittedly, from iffy psychic intel only … that the leader of the group used to cut off the penises of the men under his command, and that both men and women were forced to pay tribute to him as a portion of the earnings he expected of them as sex workers. Were one of his women to become pregnant, then that would, I feel, have cut into his earnings from what seemed to me must be prostitution.

I remember one woman in the group did become pregnant. It seemed to me that he cast a dart of lethal hatred at her during a meditation session, and that she collapsed, and then was revived by him. Then on the psychic plane, I heard a little later that she was in labor, out in the wilderness somewhere, too far for her husband to summon a doctor. She kept crying out that a devil was inside her uterus. She was in travail, and was unable to give birth. This went on and on. Finally, in desperation, her husband sliced open her abdomen, and grabbed out the living child as his wife lay in her death throes.

That vision I had vividly impressed upon me how hard it is for a woman to give birth when a ‘beast in human form’ lurks nearby.

And then I remember another ‘cult that kills’. There were some outer-circle children that visited that group. But it seemed to me … again from iffy psychic intel alone … that, as the years went by, all the women in the group left or were murdered, and that their children were grabbed up by the group and trafficked to second-rate movie stars of low moral worth. It seemed to me these children all caught AIDS from their ‘johns’, and that illness caused their deaths at puberty.

This other vision confirmed for me my understanding of the devastating effect that ‘beasts in human form’ have on family life, and on the continuation of human life on Earth.
………………..

Continuing with the video: The beast looks like a human being, but it has powers beyond those of human beings … in terms of the psychic realm, in terms of the astral airs, in terms of what I call ‘psychic powers’. For more on these, search my blog for the category: psychic powers

That way you can find out the type of thing to look out for, because we Christians do not want ‘psychic powers’ hanging out in our neighborhood! Sometimes we are gifted with Ascension gifts, but we do not go for power over other people.

We believe in expressing our hearts, and following our hearts, and serving humankind.

So we have to look out for the powers of the air. We have to look out for ‘power over’.

We have to look out for the beings that are trying to destroy humankind … because they are not human beings, even though they may look like it.

. . . . .

You might be wondering where I got this information. Actually, I ran into these beings in my own experience in the world. And then I did a ton of reading, trying to understand what it was that I was confronting in the way of unusual beings on Earth.

What I read did not precisely agree with what I finally figured out … which is what I presented in this post. But there are references to these types of beings in the esoteric lore … in the esoteric literature … in case you want to take a look.

My own ideas about these beings evolved over the years, so you will find different hypotheses on my website, that attempt to explain this awful phenomenon. The explanation in this post is most likely the wrap … the very last one, I hope.

That is all for now.

God bless you all,
And keep you safe,
And be with you
Through all your days.

In love, light and joy
