Default My oldest saw: focus.

A lot of distractions out there, eh?

Next month I launch a specialty forum focused on the lottery game, Pick 5 of 39 game only. Very niche, very focused. There are only 10 states that have this game and I will limit membership to 150 per state. It will be a very low cost monthly fee.

The PLAN is operate it through 2026, and IF I or a member has not won a jackpot, I will shut it down.

I'll be asking members to sign a digital NDA (Non Disclosure Agreement) due to the proprietary information I share.

Now, as many of you know, I've been in the lottery gaming market for decades, and to me it looks a lot like mail order chain letters (still going under mlm guise), casino crypto; known as Gold or Sweeps coin, and many online gurui MMO things...they all sell HOPE to the masses, and often the most desperate and poorest too.

The new private members only forum will be memember driven content, as I will have a moderator from each state that posts their state's drawings.

Now in recent conversations, very recent, some folks are all over the place, worried about politics, war, or sports, or all kinds of things. Oddly, it is the lowest income population that is the most nervous.

The SECRET to making money is simple: focus time on things that make you money, then on things that money buys that produces more money.

In lottery play, 98% are scattered, hopeful, WISHFUL, almost begging their god for help type players and the states, knowing this are the most predatory operation ever created to extract their moolah from them.

My site is for the 2% who aren't dreaming about winning millions, but approach it as a hobby/investment seeking a substantial return on investment.

This is done with mostly math and a little magic (scrying).

From SowPub, to Warrior Forum, Facebook groups and the dozens of forums that have come and gone; I bear witness to the fact that too many would be money making programs are not suited to most people, BECAUSE, most of them are do what I did, get what I got sort of pipe dreams.

My intent is to get players who will FOCUS on intent, and stay with their plans of action, and develop winning habits.

Recently, I too have been TOO caught up in politics, sports, current events...I am guilty. I remember what my dad said in 1959 during the Presidential race;
ALL elected politicians are liars. Once elected, their job becomes staying in office and they will say and do anything to keep their jobs.

Also, as a lifetime Browns fan, I have accepted the idea they will never get to a superbowl in my lifetime, and more likely NEVER. So, I will claim back my time wasted in the coming season...maybe. HA! Fans can be fanatics.

So, what is your time FOCUSED on these days, this heat wave is knocking me down and keeping me in AC all day...I think I have a heat allergy.

Thank goodness I can play the lottery from the Lazy-Boy.

Now I've got some reels to watch, don't want to miss the latest dance craze do I?

Default How to (apparently) Skyrocket your productivity!

Hi Gordon,

Great post!

We (my family) have had bouts of flu-ey illnesses lately (it's winter downunder)! Man I wish I had some of your sunshine right now…

(Though I'm looking at your weather forecast and it's looking kinda humid…!)

I've started using a "calendar" for my "to do's"... I'm using Google Calendar and Google Tasks. If you have Google Tasks showing on your Google Calender, you can just "drag and drop" the task on to the calendar to schedule it, so easy! (I didn't know you could do this - I tried something similar in the past but by creating "events" - which is much more of a hassle and takes a lot longer too…)

The only drawback is each "task" defaults to half-an-hour - and you can't change it. But I think I can live with that.

I saw a guy (an "ADHD entrepreneur") who swore that just by using a calendar this way (rather than just a list "to do's") - your productivity will skyrocket… I guess I'll find out…

He uses the principle - do it now or schedule it... So when you have a task you need to do - either do it immediately, or schedule it on the calendar... I'm trying this method out now...

Best wishes,

Dien

Default Wal-Mart LOTTO Ticket WINS ME a Facial Recognition SECRET

Thanks Gordon/Dien,

I LUV Brussel Sprouts.

The Way-Mart I am shopping at seems to be OUT.

So I ask a clerk.

He runs back and brings out some more Brussel Sprouts.

I Thank him.

Hand him a LOTTO ticket.

FUNNY LOOK on his Face.

Otto - pulls me over next to a Tall Rack of JUNK Bread. Hidden from the overhead cameras.

And says, "Thanks Man. I'll tell you a Secret. Some of the Big Brand names
have started using Computerized Shelf Tags. They collect buyer patterns."

ME - "What the hell?"

Clerk - "Yeah. Don't tell anybody I told you. The fancy Shelf tags are mini
computers. With a Camera. Facial Recognition too. They track your buying
patterns."

ME - DAMN.

Clerk - "Yup. Have you seen the new Anti Face Reading glasses and Baseball caps?

"They block infra-red cameras.

ME - "WOW.

END of Lotto ticket WIN Story.

(EDITORS NOTE - Anybody know any more about WHICH Glasses or Baseball Cap
Blocks Face reading?)

How they work?

Sounds like I Might wanna try something like that out.

IF I can get some Proof they actually work.

I
Know
that
every
Amazon Vehicle has a Videocamera on top.

But if they are Adding Facial recognition.

Then I need to Change a few things.

A UK client says you can Fool the 1000's of London UK cameras by wearing Halloween Streaks on your face. Like Indian WAR PAINT.

I don't wanna do that.

Default Anti-surveillance clothing...!

Glenn, you might like this... from my archives...

This is an article I wrote a few years ago for my free email list...

-----

Making moolah by "sticking it to the man"

Imagine a world full of surveillance cameras...

Tracking your every move...

Keeping tabs on everywhere you go... Everywhere you travel or drive...

Spying on you... every. single. place... you show up...

Of course, that's the world we are in now (or we're close to it)!

Not everyone is willing to accept all this intrusive personal tracking lightly!

That's why you might - in the near future - see people wearing these clothes...

Designed to thwart the surveillance state!

One woman, Kate Rose, has created clothing designed to thwart all those automatic license plate readers... Those surveillance cameras which track everywhere you drive...

Her clothing is full of (fake) license plates on them.

The idea is that when a license plate recognition camera sees someone wearing this clothing, it adds "bogus" - fake - license plate data to their database...

The goal is to confuse the artificial intelligence behind it... (You can check it out on her website, "Adversarial Fashion"...)

Sticking it to the system...

The idea has caught on!

Some others have created clothing which they claim can confuse facial-recognition systems...

So, there is an underlying theme here...

Many people want to "stick it to the man" and tell the following the authorities...

...if you try to track me, I'll do my best to throw a wrecking ball in the works!

...And the way they are doing it is by making a profit by creating and selling anti-surveillance clothing!

-----

Here's an article about it from a few years ago...

Special sunglasses, license-plate dresses: How to be anonymous in the age of surveillance

https://www.seattletimes.com/busines...-surveillance/

Here's a version of the same article, without all the pop-ups!

https://archive.md/LRZFj

There's probably something more recent floating around...!

Best wishes,

Dien

Default This Guy TESTED Reflective glasses & Hat so I Bought a Hat

Thanks Dien,

Thanks for the Article.

CONTRARIAN HERE.

I noticed Credit card companies spending 100 million a year to try to get us
to use ONLY Cards.

And in 2025 some national Chains ONLY take cards.

Plus Local MD News said MY local Grocery Store and Bank
have had customers Ripped off using Card Readers that STEAL your Credit Card
info.

So.

I SHOP WITH ALL CASH.

THE Las VEGAS Casino Association is spending HUNDREDS of millions a year
testing on LAB ANIMALS - to create BERSERK GAMBLING ADDICTION.

Lab animals Being Tested on are Gambling on the New
Machines that OVER-WHELM and OVERSTIMULATE Gamblers
with so much Stimuli they can't control their spending.

(EDITORS NOTE - WARNING - do not move to Vegas. Stats show 90% of the Population GAMBLE 1 to 5 Times a Day!)

CASINO ASSOCITION Sells BERSERK SECRETS all over the World.

Which EXPLAINS why (The Average) cell phone user Checks their phone.
800 times a day. Meaning Millions Check iPhone THOUSANDS of times a day.

Waitresses I talk to Have to LOCK UP their Kids Playstations
or they Never go to Sleep and Can't stay awake in school.

(Insurance Lady TOLD ME THIS) Cell phones and Smart Watches are now used by INSURANCE COMPANIES to RAISE your Rates if you Drive at night, Speed, Drive into the City into "Dangerous areas."

Israeli Scientists Discovered CELL PHONES are sending EMF radiation YARDS away. So holding a smart phone a few feet away is USELESS.

Dozens of my Favorite TV and Movie Stars
are DYING in their 40's, 50's and 60's from all kinds of The BIG C.

100's of Videos on YouTube are from People CRIPPLED so they can't work\
by The EMF coming from the New Smart Home Meters Which broadcast for Miles.

Israel just assassinated all of Iran's Top Military leaders with Drones which used their CELL PHONES as homing devices.

MY CELL PHONE WENT INTO THE TRASH.

My FBI agent Clients tell me - Chinese made phones, watches, computers
and other devices CANNOT be shut off by removing the battery. Record everything happening nearby.

AND

All of the STORES I shop at are now using Miniaturized Shelf Labels And FACIAL Recognition to gather Info on each customer.

LINK BELOW - This Guy has tested Glasses and a Hat
which Blind his iPhone Facial Recognition.

So I bought a IR Reflective Hat for 14 bucks...

Just to Be CONTRARY.
And
Cuz I don't want my DATA sold all over the World.

Glenn
