Coming of Age Bedtime Adventure

My parents were getting a divorce. I got to be with two great old third cousins in Billings. They ran a Pawn store. It was more of an antique store. They were refined and their place was wonderful. Their dog's name was Thor a huge old German Shepherd.

Anyway they went up taking me with them to a old cafe next to the drive in theatre next to the Rim and close to the airport.

There they left me with the cafe waitress as the two old ladies purchased some antiques from the owner in the back.

Me? I got a hamburger and fries and coke. Thinking and watching and reading.

When in walked in a journalist for the Billings paper. He had just flown in from Hawaii by the looks of his shirt. He was tired and ordered a rum and coke. IE the cafe was a bar if memory serves me. And looking around he wandered over to where I was reading. I think I was reading Archie comic book.

Anyway, he was lonely or something and started to talk to me. This was the 70s and I listened.

He was working with some guy that owned one of the major delivery services. Who? I think it was Fed Ex. Anyway the guy had stumbled upon the idea to save on the death tax. Meaning? He was wealthy and at the time the wealth tax was like 63.4 percent or something like that. So?

The guy had decided to clone himself. Meaning? He was dying and wanted to see what he would have become if he had all the life great advantages. Best schools, hospitals, etc.

Meaning? He had grown up the hard way and made is business work because of persistence and hard work. He wondered if what would happen if he had gotten everything would he have succeed or not.

Anyway he hired several doctors to clone himself. The cloning process he started in the states. Then moved to the Philippines because of finding women there cheaper to have embryos implanted and hush money for other weird things to happen to them.

Anyway the guy kept talking and I listened. The whole concept of cloning people was something I knew a little on having read a book on it.

I asked what cells were to be used? The guy looked at me like I was a monster. Who are you? Meaning I was a little kid and I think he was expecting me to listen and not know anything.

I am me. And with that he went on to tell me what cell was being used.

Evidently the guy who was funding this thing went nuts or something. Meaning? He removed all his signatures from paperwork, and fingerprints ect. Drew up contracts and made sure that when they succeed he could retire and that the clone or what not would take over for him.

Evidently this data research had been on going for a while for the Billings reporter was the Ethical person. What a laugh. The rich guy threw him out at the end and got his clone.

And?

From my understanding the reporter said the guys fingerprints were an 89 percent match. The eye color. hair color, and some birth mark resembling something were remarkably the same.

The kid? Evidently had been born a while ago because he was attending some prep school and intelligence wise seemed to be doing quite well.

To all this I had listened to while eating and wondering if I could go back to my comic book. Reason? He did not tell me the source of the DNA. So I asked again. And instead of looking like I was a monster he told me.

Sadness that disease is how cloning will begin and end.

Now? I see his articles from time to time. I wonder if he remembers telling me that story. As for him? He wrote a book and published it in 1985 talking about the Philippine cloning program. Not using names of course. It was a good read. And the clone? Seems the wealthy people do quite well changing laws and now death taxation is almost all but forgotten.

And cloning? Ask Brittany Speares she knows what Mandela effect is and what she is experiencing right now. Meaning?

We all be dead here. The sun has not been real for a long time and God? He won the war between world government versus heaven. And humanity? Well humanity loses first to the giants, then to the zombies created by world governments to fight the giants, and finally to heaven or UFOs which everyone seems to want to fight. And?

Well, the vaccine forces compliance to the patent 2000060606 crypto currency which Microsoft patented on March 20, 2020. And that compliance leads to corporate fascism which in turns leads to your very life, sex life, work life and everything in life to be taken over and controlled. Meaning? Soon everyone will be clones because sex will be outlawed. And? An end of time happens. Why? cloning of cancer cells only works for so long and the cells break down.

Don't take my word for this. Read. Think. That is the sad part of this being the past. You can no longer think clearly. For if I am telling you that you are living in the time of tribulation and you do not fall on your knees and repent. It is already to late for you. And if you are vaccinated? Put a magnet up to your skin and watch and realize you are now part of the borg collective of the battery microsoft created. And? Well, for those of us not part of your group. You will kill us for a time.

Well, time travel exists and they fail to find a solution and man kind die out. How long/ A long time ago if my journal of a Wondering mind through the multiverse is true. A very long time ago. You see I am a time traveler these days. Going back in time. A closed time curved loop traveler. And well if I am telling you the truth? You have been dead a very long time and this story? This is my ghost story. Welcome to my ghost story.
