August, 2020 Mentioned On A TV Show FROM 1953 - WITH ELECTRIC GUITAR INVENTOR LES PAUL IN IT, ALONG WITH WIFE, MARY
The famous creator and interviewer of "Omnibus" a famous early news magazine type TV show, Allistair Cooke, mentions that if Les Paul & Mary Ford's 15,000,000 records that they sold would be played 'back to back,' it would take until "August, 2020" to play all of them.

Les Plays his famous, multi-tracked hit song with Mary, "How High The Moon," at the end of the interview. They recorded it in 1950 and it spent 9 weeks at #1 in America! It's a great unforgettable tune

This episode of Omnibus aired 67 years ago

So, if there are 8,760 hours in a year, this show aired roughly 587,000 HOURS ago; If there are 3,600 seconds in an hour X 587,000 hours ago that's 2 billion, 113 million, 200 thousand hours ago (2,113,200,000)

If they sold 15,000,000 copies of their record X 2 mins. per copy, average and 2 minutes holds 120 seconds, that would be 15,000,000 X 120 seconds, or 1,800,000,000 - one billion, eight hundred million seconds to play all those 15,000,000 2-minute records of theirs.

They were off by 313,200,000 seconds, by their calculations.

What a ripoff!

Here's a good recording of Les Paul & Mary Ford's "How High The Moon," now 70 years old! but doesn't sound it at all. They (well, "he") were ahead of their time.

Excerpt: "Some evidence suggests that chasing loudness was key. On Oct. 20, 1928, an article appeared in The Music Trades announcing the arrival of an important new product: "an electronically operated device that produces an increased volume of tone for any stringed instrument." This was the Stromberg Electro, perhaps the first-ever commercial pickup. In the following year's edition of the Chicago Musical Instrument catalog, Stromberg boasted about an electric guitar and matching amplifier. "Every tone is brought out distinctly and evenly, with a volume that will fill even a large hall," the ad claimed."

"How High the Moon" is the song heard playing on the radio by the pilots that had UFO encounters in the TV show "Project Bluebook".
Until your military service has required you neutralize enemy combatants and invaders in the defense of your country,
don't presume to tell us that have defended you that you don't support every shot we fired to eliminate that enemy.

 Quoting: Louis in Richmond


And it seems to coincidental that it mentions August 2020... they were programming us then, they program us now, and I have been worrying lately if I should really be where I am, all of the signs are there that it is time to gtfo and find a place to weather what is coming with my kids... its a damn hard decision, it seems like we all will be making those decisions soon

Anyone else worried about meteorites and the like ruining our year a little more?

Didn't someone on here say there was a group planning to work together? I might have seen that on reddit... but guys, of all the doom anxieties I've ever had, this is off the charts... and doing me no good because I am not taking any action, I am afraid to take action for some reason..afraid... of what ? losing my job that I am not looking forward to returning to anyhow?


I think it is fear that I will not teach my kids right...oh they have me brainwashed to be a good little sheep...nervous all the time and never doing anything but banging my head against the wall.

How High the Moon indeed.

Hard to beat a Les Paul plugged into a Marshall stack. Be that as it may, I'm a strat guy. Love a Fender single coil strat plugged into a Fender '64 Princeton Reverb.

Yes, he did invent it. My grandfather knew him. Said that the first version of it was a box shape. Not pretty, but it worked.

What if it's something positive, say like the "good" extra-terrestrials coming to save us from b.l.m. in August or something?

The Pleiadians, they say, were the "monkey-wrench in the machinery" that got Trump elected. They came here to make sure hitlery's election tampering didn't work. That is why the left was so shocked, it simply wasn't supposed to be that way and they were 100% assured of victory.

The Pleiadians didn't let that happen.

They are the "good aliens," not the greys.
