YhVh's creation, in all its splendor, mystery, and wonder as we find it. I indeed baptize you with water unto repentance: but he that comes after me is mightier than I, whose shoes I am not worthy to bear: He shall baptize you with the Holy Ghost, and fire:

Semiramis was dark skinned, like Jezebel. Assyrian.
After the tower of Babel event, Nimrod was given new names, according to the 72 NEW languages. Hence all the titles. Same for Semiramis.

The tomb of Semiramis
The tomb of Semiramis
https://old.bitchute.com/video/rGu4WE3eYhk2/
Discovered BEFORE they found the body of Nimrod in the same city under the Euphrates river in March of 2003. It was this find, that kicked off the invasion of Iraq, to recover the priceless reliquary and bodies of both Semiramis and Nimrod.
Including all the gold and other items. Both tombs were completely intact, because Uruk was covered over in a night by a flood, as judgment, wiping out the royal city. Until the river was dammed up and redirected, allowing access to the ancient tombs.
PAY ATTENTION
Look how big those bracelets are - 5 to 6 inch diameter - HUGE. For a big woman, a giant.

I and others began to announce this incoming years before it became a thing in the winter and fall of 2017. Much happened that year. Solar eclipse tracks across the US, plus the rev 12 thing I covered extensively.
Just remember, all the portents and signs of the destruction of the death of Babylon have been obtained.
What we are witnessing across America is the downfall, a step at a time to oblivion, save the remnant. FYI.

Trader Joes organic carrots have these. Just let them sit on the counter for 2 weeks and the demon parasites emerge.
In early fall 2025 the deer I feed carrots to stopped eating the carrots, a food they love. This is why - parasites.
I stopped juicing. After juicing faithfully since 2011.

Iniquity hiding within us all
Iniquity hiding within us all
Eduardo E. 1-31-26
Everybody complains about money, everybody complains about working. Yet don't they all work for their own satisfaction? Aren't they all absorbed into their own selfishness? They eat manna, they eat quails and they still complain. Have they given their lives to a great service, one that is greater than themselves? Are they aristocrats? Do they consider the poor and the enslaved? Do they denounce the sins of their nations and oppose evil with all their strength? Do they do anything other than satisfy their own bellies? They are all greed, vanity, pettiness and selfishness. Each complain about the other, each is continuously offended by the other yet offends others all the same. Each justify themselves in their own works. Each is as self-righteous as they can be. Each uses YHVH to justify their own sins.
"5 Thus saith the YHVH, What iniquity have your fathers found in me, that they are gone far from me, and have walked after vanity, and are become vain?
6 Neither said they, Where is the YHVH that brought us up out of the land of Egypt, that led us through the wilderness, through a land of deserts and of pits, through a land of drought, and of the shadow of death, through a land that no man passed through, and where no man dwelt?
7 And I brought you into a plentiful country, to eat the fruit thereof and the goodness thereof; but when ye entered, ye defiled my land, and made mine heritage an abomination.
8 The priests said not, Where is the YHVH? and they that handle the law knew me not: the pastors also transgressed against me, and the prophets prophesied by Baal, and walked after things that do not profit.
9 Wherefore I will yet plead with you, saith the YHVH, and with your children's children will I plead.
10 For pass over the isles of Chittim, and see; and send unto Kedar, and consider diligently, and see if there be such a thing.
11 Hath a nation changed their gods, which are yet no gods? but my people have changed their glory for that which doth not profit.
12 Be astonished, O ye heavens, at this, and be horribly afraid, be ye very desolate, saith the YHVH.
13 For my people have committed two evils; they have forsaken me the fountain of living waters, and hewed them out cisterns, broken cisterns, that can hold no water.
14 Is Israel a servant? is he a homeborn slave? why is he spoiled?
15 The young lions roared upon him, and yelled, and they made his land waste: his cities are burned without inhabitant.
16 Also the children of Noph and Tahapanes have broken the crown of thy head.
17 Hast thou not procured this unto thyself, in that thou hast forsaken YHVH thy God, when he led thee by the way?
18 And now what hast thou to do in the way of Egypt, to drink the waters of Sihor? or what hast thou to do in the way of Assyria, to drink the waters of the river?
19 Thine own wickedness shall correct thee, and thy backslidings shall reprove thee: know therefore and see that it is an evil thing and bitter, that thou hast forsaken the YHVH thy God, and that my fear is not in thee, saith YHVH God of hosts."

All that is required is repentance.
2 Chronicles 7-14
14If my people, which are called by my name, shall humble themselves, and pray, and seek my face, and turn from their wicked ways; then will I hear from heaven, and will forgive their sin, and will heal their land.
There it is. It's in hundreds of places all over the Holy Word. Let's see the math YHVH gives us. Everyone ready?
We are to humble ourselves.
Pray and seek His Face.
Turn from our wicked ways.
The above is the absolute essence of Atonement. It's the core and centerpiece of repentance, on Holy Moedim and every single time we draw the Breath of Life.
Repentance precedes Forgiveness.
And are you not heard, in Heaven and Earth.
And so it was, last night, I rescinded any and all judgments I, Don, have ever initiated. Because...amongst the many so suffering, there were pleading and echoes of repentance, high and low. It was enough. And as little as that is enough for Dad and Yesh to forgive, so it is with me. The quality of Mercy. And that always.
Don
PS I cannot rescind judgments from On High. Nor would I ever want to. Those stand.
Understanding how we got here - Nimrod
Understanding how we got here - Nimrod
When you bed a Canaanite witch, you get problems. Big Problems.
1. Now the sons of Noah were three, - Shem, Japhesh, and Ham, born one hundred years before the Deluge. These first of all descended from the mountains into the plains, and fixed their habitation there; and persuaded others who were greatly afraid of the lower grounds on account of the flood, and so were very loath to come down from the higher places, to venture to follow their examples. Now the plain in which they first dwelt was called Shinar. God also commanded them to send colonies abroad, for the thorough peopling of the earth, that they might not raise seditions among themselves, but might cultivate a great part of the earth, and enjoy its fruits after a plentiful manner. But they were so ill instructed that they did not obey God; for which reason they fell into calamities, and were made sensible, by experience, of what sin they had been guilty: for when they flourished with a numerous youth, God admonished them again to send out colonies; but they, imagining the prosperity they enjoyed was not derived from the favor of God, but supposing that their own power was the proper cause of the plentiful condition they were in, did not obey him. Nay, they added to this their disobedience to the Divine will, the suspicion that they were therefore ordered to send out separate colonies, that, being divided asunder, they might the more easily be Oppressed. Josephus Antiquities 1.4.1
2. Now it was Nimrod who excited them to such an affront and contempt of God. He was the grandson of Ham, the son of Noah, a bold man, and of great strength of hand. He persuaded them not to ascribe it to God, as if it was through his means they were happy, but to believe that it was their own courage which procured that happiness. He also gradually changed the government into tyranny, seeing no other way of turning men from the fear of God, but to bring them into a constant dependence on his power. He also said he would be revenged on God, if he should have a mind to drown the world again; for that he would build a tower too high for the waters to be able to reach! and that he would avenge himself on God for destroying their forefathers! Josephus Antiquities 1.4.2.
3. Now the multitude were very ready to follow the determination of Nimrod, and to esteem it a piece of cowardice to submit to God; and they built a tower, neither sparing any pains, nor being in any degree negligent about the work: and, by reason of the multitude of hands employed in it, it grew very high, sooner than any one could expect; but the thickness of it was so great, and it was so strongly built, that thereby its great height seemed, upon the view, to be less than it really was. It was built of burnt brick, cemented together with mortar, made of bitumen, that it might not be liable to admit water. When God saw that they acted so madly, he did not resolve to destroy them utterly, since they were not grown wiser by the destruction of the former sinners; but he caused a tumult among them, by producing in them divers languages, and causing that, through the multitude of those languages, they should not be able to understand one another. The place wherein they built the tower is now called Babylon, because of the confusion of that language which they readily understood before; for the Hebrews mean by the word Babel, confusion. The Sibyl also makes mention of this tower, and of the confusion of the language, when she says thus: "When all men were of one language, some of them built a high tower, as if they would thereby ascend up to heaven, but the gods sent storms of wind and overthrew the tower, and gave every one his peculiar language; and for this reason it was that the city was called Babylon." But as to the plan of Shinar, in the country of Babylonia, Hestiaeus mentions it, when he says thus: "Such of the priests as were saved, took the sacred vessels of Jupiter Enyalius, and came to Shinar of Babylonia. Josephus Antiquites 1.4.3
Now the Egyptians say that also after these events a great number of
colonies were spread from Egypt over all the inhabited world. To
Babylon, for instance, colonists were led by Belu, who was held to be
the son of Poseidon and Libya; and after establishing himself on the
Euphrates River he appointed priests called Chaldeans by the
Babylonians, who were exempt from taxation and free from every kind of
service to the state, as are the priests of Egypt.

Rife Tech Learnings
Rife Tech Learnings
Don Bradley 1-28-26
Thought I would pass along lessons learned about MY experiences since the early 2000s using this technology. The principle behind it is simple enough to understand. All organisms and body cellular structures we call organs have a RESONANT FREQUENCY. Remember that phrase. By tuning into these resonant freqs we can either strengthen a thing or organ, like your skin or pancreas, or kill it, cause it harm.
The idea behind the Rife stuff is to send out signals that kill destructive pathogens and bacteria in our body. This then frees us from suffering the effects that pathogen or bacteria. Like Herpes. Or Lockjaw. Or syphilis. Parasites are a demon vector, inside you. Cancer, is a parasite. Tumors are parasites. There are all kinds of cancer; because there many things like FREQUENCIES that can cause organs to fail or even, strengthen pathogens and parasites. Like what cell towers and wifi do. They send out signals to make your body break down, while enhancing the deadly pathogens they put in our food and dairy and water.
Now that you have a basic understanding of all this, here are a few helpful hints that will assist in your use of it. It's what worked for me. Also, I'm no certified Rife Technician, whatever that is, or MD. They aren't allowed to heal patients, just drain their money and kill them for the cash payout. Killing a patient gets the doctor and business where the deed was done between 38 to 60K dollars a pop; doctors and Rns got huge paydays during the corona virus hoax by intubating with Remdesivir and morphine cocktails that wasted many perfectly healthy people that were convinced their cold was the deadly corona virus. Your death is important to them. Those big houses and Porsches aren't going to pay for themselves now are they. I covered these doings in detail 2020 to 2022.
Play the volume loud enough to feel it. These tones need to be felt as well as heard. You are trying to reach parasites deep in your body, in most cases. If they cannot feel the frequency, you are not going to have much effect upon them. For the best results, use headphones. Don't play it so loud you are hurting your eardrums. But loud enough that your vascular and nervous system between your ears is totally awash in the signal. If you live in an apartment or similar situation, loud speakers playing weird tones won't go over well with your enslaved neighbors. They will bang on your door and tell you to turn it down.
5 minutes per tone is usually more than enough. For deep, longstanding parasitic infestations, do 20 minutes.
Go through the Rife frequency table, praying beforehand to our Father to draw you to those issues, known and usually unknown, that need fixing. This is important. You may have certain kinds of parasites and for years now that are about to bring disease upon you. Whatever Dad leads you to, do all the frequencies listed for it. Listen and obey. It's why you are doing this anyways, even if it takes a few days to do them all at your convenience.
Drink a TON of water. 8 ounces every 2 hours, all day and night long. Your blood, kidneys and liver are being bombarded by tiny to huge dead critters making them toxic. Flush them out. You should be urinating every hour. If not, you aren't drinking enough water. And WATER. Not soda pop or beer or whatever. These things turn your body acidic which creates environments for parasites to thrive.
Listen to your body. This is the most important point of all. As you play these frequencies, pay attention to how your body is either reacting or responding to these tones. There are frequencies for general health and well being, listed, and when you do them and find your body responding favorably, even euphorically, then know it is helping you. For example, yesterday I ran the 1150 for about 10 minutes. Right off, I had pain in 3 places in my large intestine; 1 in my small intestine; my kidneys and lower back. I ran it again. This time my 2nd vertebrae popped as well as kidney pain. A third time the pain vanished. The critters were dead. Drank and am still drinking a ton of water. Usually, given time and circumstance, and how much you devote to this effort, it can take a couple of days or a few weeks to do all the frequencies you are guided to and should be doing anyways. On another tone, 880, I felt a twinge that ran from my left eye down my cheek; a gift from dental work in November. Parasites in syringes. In under 3 minutes, it was dead. Another big tell is itching; parasites are dying at that spot and are causing a release of histamines in your blood at that location; this is good, histamines attack pathogens.
I am exposed to a great deal of spiritual fire, every hour of the day and night. It does not allow parasites with demonic hitchhikers. But, the food we ALL BUY is loaded with them. Every day, in our time, every one of us is eating parasites. They spray them on our vegetables, inject them in our fruits, put them in all manner of our dairy, you name it. And if you have received a shot from a dentist or doctor since 2019, you have some form of the vax weapon in you. Use frequency 1150 to kill it.Pay attention to your stools. Long stringy stools are dead parasites that are huge intestinal guys. Most of what passes through you is too small to be seen with the naked eye. Look for color changes in your urine, that clear up as the days go by. Soon, it will all be clean.
Pay attention to obvious and subtle changes in your skin, eyes, breath, all of it. What changes do you notice, one way or the other, in your body. Take note, write them down.
People will fight to keep their parasites. That's a fact. I've seen it myself, hence why it is on this list. If you are playing the tones loud enough that someone nearby is being affected by them, they'll insist you turn it off. Even get angry. And if you are dealing with witches, who want the damn things inside them and get new ones all the time, very angry. If you have someone whom is reacting to these tones and they are quite upset about it, then know that they have demons that are pushing them to stop you, lest their anchor in them be taken away. I have seen this with my own eyes, too many times. It won't matter if you explain this is actually helping them. They cannot hear you. Very often, DON”T want to hear you. Ever. And many people with demonic hitchhikers have no idea they are under demonic control and if you were to tell them, they often start shouting, maybe violent, but at the very least, use that as an excuse to remove themselves from your presence and those “irritating” tones you are playing.
That should do it. This is what I learned over the years from personal experience. Hope this helps.
Don

Spiritual Blinders
Don 1-25-26
Hey Dork? How come you get to see all this cool stuff? Angels, tree spirits, eyes in the ground, water angels, sky angels, walking angels, historic events AND take pictures of it. I never see stuff like that.
Simple really. You have spiritual blinders on, or, biblically speaking, scales over your eyes. Most of you have several layers of blinders or scales. That's a fact.
It's nephilim DNA that does it. Be vain, superficial, vicious, unkind, and eager to harm or be a total spiritual jerk to others and your scales are thick. Turn to Yeshua, your Nephy DNA changes back into Adamic DNA (grafted into the Branch as Yahudim, no longer gentile) and the scales simply dissolve. For some, it happens fast. For others, a life time.
Finally this. If you think all spiritual phenomenon is OF THE DEVIL, you deny every aspect of creation meant for you to see, know, and interact with. Many saved Christians are as blind as a bat because of churchianity programming.
I was always or usually always had people all around me as I took these pictures. 2000 foot tall ocean regents over the Pacific, photographed, only Nathan and I saw her. Like that. Obadiah and all the hundreds of other pics put up here over the years, people were there too. And not a clue among them. Unless, by pointing it out, it allowed for their scales to slip for a time and then they could see. And why is that?
Meaning, their hearts and minds are lost in the superficial and mundane or they have a deep hatred of the divine. Or both. By pointing it out, my presence removed their blinders for a short period of time. Once out of my zone, their blinders came back over their eyes to stay, as they were before.
Had I not pointed out Obadiah's eyes, how many of you would have noticed? Not a one I bet. Because I have put up a ton of pics, said nothing, no one saw anything. Until I pointed it out.
That's why. It's you. Not me. YOU.
We choose the things that matter to us. If understanding the truth of Earth and your relationship to your life, meaning thereof, and so on, is limited to news, money, vain things, weather, and sports. That's all you'll ever likely to see or care about. We make time for the things that matter to us. These determine a great deal of our daily walk and way, which most people SLEEP WALK through. 99.9% of the population. That's why evil has had such an easy time taking us all down the road to ruin.
Frankly, if people cared about their spiritual estate for at least 10 minutes a day, those blinders to both reality and truth would start falling away immediately. Then, their life would become a wonderland of miracles, seeing, knowing, being, doing, loving. Beats anything I've ever seen or known, by FAR.
Here's a few cool things, past and present.

Obadiah
Obadiah 1
Edomites - Modern Jewbies
1The vision of Obadiah. Thus saith YHVH concerning Edom; We have heard a rumour from YHVH, and an ambassador is sent among the heathen, Arise ye, and let us rise up against her in battle.
2Behold, I have made thee small among the heathen: thou art greatly despised.
3The pride of thine heart hath deceived thee, thou that dwellest in the clefts of the rock, whose habitation is high; that saith in his heart, Who shall bring me down to the ground?
4Though thou exalt thyself as the eagle, and though thou set thy nest among the stars, thence will I bring thee down, saith YHVH .
5If thieves came to thee, if robbers by night, (how art thou cut off!) would they not have stolen till they had enough? if the grape gatherers came to thee, would they not leave some grapes?
6How are the things of Esau searched out! how are his hidden things sought up!
7All the men of thy confederacy have brought thee even to the border: the men that were at peace with thee have deceived thee, and prevailed against thee; they that eat thy bread have laid a wound under thee: there is none understanding in him.
| Obadiah |
Bonus. In the pic above are two obvious eyes.
Obadiah was the family buggle tree for nearly ten years, named by Randy. He gave and got, a great many hugs, prayer hours, friendship, and doings. In point of fact, when Matt moved out in January 2020, the next day, a HUGE main branch broke off and landed right on the roof, right over where he slept, which was next to Obadiah. Then he dropped a bunch of leaves. He was broken hearted Matt had gone.
| Obadiah shed a third of himself. The jagged edges were trimmed back. |
| Obadiah main branch laying against roof. If you look with the eyes of your heart, he's crying. |
After, with branch removed. The hole that reminded me daily, Matt had left. Obadiah and I both wept and for a long while too.
You know what the owners did, first thing after I moved out? They cut Obadiah down, because he had become, over the years, A SACRED TREE dedicated to YHVH.
Guess what the spiritual estate of the owners were? You get only ONE guess.
| Tree spirits are a class of angel. They love. They mourn. They give. They receive. If you will have it. Everything is alive. Treat the living with love and respect and receive in kind. |
| Dad always used white egrets to confirm a move of the family or a member. This one appeared on Jan 6th. So, I knew, for sure, Matt was moving out, hard by the door. |
Egrets. Every time I have ever had to move, since 2005, a white egret appeared, no matter where; desert, mountains, all over. Which was a great deal, sadly. He bounced to his mothers and a secular life and thence to sharing an apartment with his older brother, Nick.
January 2020 was quite a month. At home and in the world, what with the corona virus scam going down.
I often wonder how much of what is given over really lands on the reader. What a different life people would have if they just would treat the world around them with love and respect. Rather than violate it with scorn, disregard, and unholy doings.
I do what I do and that's all I can do.
What you do with it all is up to you.
Don
I really miss that tree. I must have given a bazillion buggle hugs over the years. We all did. I used to just lean back against him and look out over the valley. He kept the ants away from that spot, I don't know how, but he did. Even friends sent me pics of him from the highway below, with comments about light beams coming from him and his BIG EYES.
Miss that guy. Sad day when they killed him. Only because I had loved him. Just to be mean and cruel.
The shites here have been trying to do the same thing with Michael, my huge Pine tree on the edge of the property, dozens of times, using city crews with bs reasons.

Precisely how does a baby dolphin kick a dork's butt on a surfboard?
Don Bradley 1-21-26
| Baby dolphin in wave face after delivering an ass kicking to yours truly. |
You would be thinking it jumps up from the water and delivers a smack right to the backside of the hapless dork on his ride. Not so. They were far too sneaky for any obvious move like that.
First, a surfboard has fins. One big one called a skeg and two to four outrider much smaller ones to give "bite" in the water. The skeg acts as both steerage and keel, giving the board movement through the water in any given direction. Without the skeg, you have slip and slide and you won't be on your feet very long. The skeg - it's shape, length, depth, and location is EVERYTHING. If you look at the pics of our boards laid out drying in the sun, you will see all manner of skeg lengths. The longer curved ones allow for nose riding and stability when you can lock into a wave wall, which is both rising at speed and pushing, with power. You steer with the balance of your body through your feet, onto the board.
The shorter the skeg, the slippier the tail and allows for more travel, up and down the wave face. Sunboard, mine, was medium length - it allowed some movement up and down the wave face including island pull outs, while allowing, given the frame of the wave, to hang 5.
| Island Pullout. Quitting a wave by turning up and over the face, back to where you came. The dignified way of ending a ride. |

Hanging 5 or 10 is obtained by locking a good track groove along one or the other side of the board into the wave face and then while this lock is engaged, walking out of balance to the nose of the board and sticking the toes of your feet over the edge. I must have hang'd five countless times. Hang ten...tough to do. Very tough. Right board, right wave, right angle to get that one. Because all your weight is now on the nose and the whole board is out of balance in the extreme. I have plenty of pics of me going feet first into the washing machine, board shoved up my backside, going in with me, to dance in the blender of doom with glass and sometimes shoved into the depths where the sand is sometimes...anywhere. You never knew. Each wipe out was different and tailor made for your total and extreme embarrassment, if that kind of thing bothered your ego. The best surfers have no ego to embarrass. You only hope the time in that twisty, turney blender wouldn't be too very long. Or getting hit in the head by another surfboards edge or skeg (happened to me twice, ouch) or catching a board with a rider into your leg, hairline fracture (once), or some kook slamming into your head from behind because he hasn't learned to control his board yet (once) or or or.
What the baby dolphins did was, was to ride super secret alongside you and slap your skeg underneath, unseen. That's how they did it. And while you were gulping down salt water underneath, you saw them sliding up alongside you having a giggle. Yeah, dolphins laugh, even under water. You can hear it.
All in good fun, though.
That...that is how it was done.
