We should be fully aware of the fact that the elite consider themselves to be high above the common people.  As high as humans are above pigs and cattle and all lowly creatures.  They have no concern for the life of a commoner.  They have “HIGHER” considerations and regard themselves worthy of indulging in any type of pleasure and enjoyment their hearts desire.  We should also understand by now that what turns these people on is the most vile and inconceivable types of perversion.  

We should also be aware that secrecy is their life.  Everything they do they do in secret.  Hidden from the prying eyes of the common folk, to stupid to understand their vision.  They love to capture, torture, maim, kill and devour innocence.  Virgins are the epitome.  Their numbers grow larger everyday, and they have a need for fresh blood, every day.  How do you keep your business private in a world that is growing smaller everyday?  

What better way, than to take it underground.  Which we know they have done.  There are countless reports of underground cities and tunnels in every country.  But, they have found a new place to explore, to play and to keep their dirty secrets hidden.  THE SEA!

Update 8/17/21

Remember, there is NO LAW at SEA!!  No protection for the innocent victims trafficked freely by these madmen who believe themselves worthy of these disgusting extravagances.  Who believe the innocent victims deserve the torture and death because they are merely animals.   From their luxury yachts, helicopters and submarines they can move victims from island to island (Most of them own islands) where they can be hunted, tortured and slaughtered in privacy.

It is time for this insanity to end.  Are you crying out to the LORD daily for the poor souls who have fallen prey to these monsters, or who are held captive to be tortured over and over with no hope of rescue.   THE DELIVERER IS COMING!!  Believe me, these people must answer to GOD! Pray that He comes quickly to set the captives free.

Owning a luxury yacht is synonymous with unsurpassed wealth, a symbol of status and floating extravagance that only the world’s richest people can afford. Eccentric ships first began to appear in the early 20th century, when wealthy people began to order the construction of large private yachts for their own pleasure. These beautiful ships are built with the latest technology. The most expensive yachts are made according to the individual requirements of the owners – it can be a helipad or a large pool on the upper deck, as well as exclusive materials for interior decoration. In our video, you will see the most unusual, incredibly luxurious and expensive superyachts from all over the world, as well as find out which of them the dinosaur bone statue is kept on!

During times of universal deceit, telling the truth becomes a revolutionary act

Ghislaine Maxwell, Jeffrey Epstein And Joe Biden: Private Islands, Secret Ports And Submarines

On Saturday, Twitter user RegReformer posted a lengthy thread that revealed possible connections between Ghislaine Maxwell, Jeffrey Epstein and 2020 presumptive Democratic Presidential Nominee Joe Biden.

Titled ‘Ghislane Maxwell, Epstein, and Joe Biden: Private Islands, Secret Ports, and Submarines,’ the thread started out by listing some facts about Maxwell, the 58-year-old accused of recruiting and grooming underage girls to be abused by Epstein and his pals:

RegReformer continued:

Stadium styled ritual site at Epstein Island.  Cockatoos stand guard over their clandestine activity.  Water symbol here and the one for Terramar are very similar.  Which came first?  Now we have more of an idea what the symbol is about.  It is looking more and more like Dagon/Baal Worship.   This connects with all the promotion of Mermaids and Mermen in our current society.

This also ties in the Statue of Neptune that was displayed in front of the Temple along with PAN.  We know that Pan is the God of sexual perversion.  And Neptune/Poseidon/Triton is the God of the sea.  Seen here with his TRIDENT.  Which is a symbol the Illumined Ones use ALL THE TIME. 

 

Another tropical island, Great St. James, is located nearby and was also owned by Epstein(Not only are there buildings on that island, but Jeffrey had crews out
there continually working to create what appears to be much of the same type of ritual spots as the Little St. James.  More importantly, Great St. James provides much more land, thickly covered with trees and far from prying eyes where no one could hear their cries.  A perfect place for human hunting parties.  If you have not seen the artwork of victim Marie Farmer, you need to.  It clearly portrays little children hanging naked in trees with blood dripping from their limp and lifeless bodies.  It also depicts naked children hiding behind trees.)

…popular with locals; tourists mainly for its main attraction, Christmas Cove, where people could hang out and order ‘pizza’ which would be delivered by boat.

We reported about Great St. James Island last summer. Click here to read more.

Continuing:

In January, Politico actually published a story about how Scott Green, a lobbyist with close ties to Joe Biden, purchased Virgin Islands property from James Biden and then extended him a private mortgage:  (Joe Biden does not own that island.  It is the fourth largest island in the Virgin Islands.  He owns a portion in the middle.  Where there is complete seclusion and privacy.  There is also submarine access between Water Island, St. Thomas and Little St. James.)

The Virgin Islands land deal, reported here for the first time, furthers a pattern in which members of the Biden family have engaged in financial dealings with people with an interest in influencing the former vice president.

After the land deal, Joe Biden vacationed elsewhere on the tiny island, which once protected a nearby submarine base before it became a tropical getaway, on at least three occasions. (That submarine access is still functioning.)

The Twitter user then asked (and partially answered) some very interesting questions:

More questions and information were presented by RegReformer that suggest an even deeper conspiracy is at play – one that possibly involves Hillary Clinton and her former Deputy Chief of Staff Huma Abedin:

New pictures show Stephen Hawking enjoying the hospitality of Jeffrey Epstein on the private Caribbean island where Prince Andrew is alleged to have slept with an underage “sex slave”.
The celebrated physicist can be seen at a barbecue on Little St James as well as taking a boat cruise and submarine tour of the sea bed off the island.
Epstein, 61, is said to have paid for the submarine to be modified for Professor Hawking, who had never been underwater before.
The Cambridge professor visited Epstein’s “Island of Sin” in March 2006 shortly before the paedophile billionaire was charged by police in Palm Beach with unlawful sexual activity with a minor.
Hawking was one of 21 internationally-renowned scientists attending a conference, funded by Epstein, on gravity at the Ritz-Carlton hotel on neighbouring island St Thomas.

http://www.vinow.com Water Island, the smallest of the four main islands in the USVI, is easy to explore on foot or by golf cart. Yes by golf cart! Come on, jump in and take a tour from Phillips Landing, where the ferry from St. Thomas arrives, to the old hotel, then Fort Segarra, beaches and other sites.

Water Island  where Biden owns property, St Thomas where the Submarine Base is located and Little St James/PEDO ISLAND.

As a Star Man I know more about the stars above than I do about the ocean below. But after coming across this video this morning I’m sure that we know a lot less as to what goes off in the deep blue sea. I was aware that Ghislaine Maxwell founded a submarine company back in 2012 for so called “save the planet” reason but I was not aware until recently that Epstiens neighbouring U.S. Virgin Isles island was once a Naval submarine base. This base is no longer naval but still very much operational and is within visual reach of Epsteins cesspit.

Further more, it has come to light that Joe Biden owns one of these state of the art mini subs within Maxwell’s organization.

The rabbit hole goes deep on this one folks. Take a packed lunch with you as you maybe some time.

EXCLUSIVE: Jeffrey Epstein paid for Ghislaine Maxwell pilot’s license and then bought her this $4M executive helicopter so she could ferry underage girls to his ‘Pedophile Island’

Jeffrey Epstein paid for his closest aide Ghislaine Maxwell pilot’s license and then bought her a $4 million executive helicopter to ferry young girls to his private Island, DailyMail.com can reveal.

The pedophile splashed out on the top of the range Sikorsky S-76C – nicknamed Air Ghislaine 2 – so she could transport a tranche of girls to Little St James in the US Virgin Islands.

And these photos, obtained exclusively by DailyMail.com, show the interior of the luxury twin turboshaft chopper that transported guests to the now infamous island.

Epstein and his guests will have traveled in style sat on plush brown leather seats aboard the spacious aircraft.

The plush cabin also boated mahogany trim and storage compartments, recessed lighting, an iPhone dock and sleek tinted windows.

Pilot Maxwell – who has been accused of acting as Epstein’s Madam, grooming underage girls for her boss – would pick up the billionaire’s visitors from Cyril E. King Airport in Charlotte Amalie on St Thomas Island and transport them directly to the 70-acre Epstein property.

Epstein flew underage girls there as recently as this year, according to a report in Vanity Fair.

And following the money manager’s arrest on two charges of child sex trafficking earlier this month the disgraced mogul’s fleet of luxury aircraft has once again come under the microscope.

Prosecutors have accused the 66-year-old billionaire of abusing girls as young as 14 in a ‘vast network of underage victims’ – and his fleet – which includes two private jets – has always been considered either a venue for some of the abuse or a means of secretly trafficking the underage girls.

According to FAA records Epstein’s former long term girlfriend and closest aide Maxwell received her pilot’s license to fly helicopters in 2007 – the same year Epstein struck a sweetheart non-prosecution deal with the Florida DA.

Despite serving some time in prison Epstein bought Maxwell a brand new $4 million Sikorsky S-76C in 2008.

Joe Biden spent way more on private jets in the third quarter than his top 2020 Democratic rivals

By Philip Wegmann – RCP Staff

October 25, 2019

During his time in the Senate, Biden spent hundreds of thousands of dollars to fly on private planes and helicopters. Between 2005 and 2006, his campaign spent at least $56,000 on this kind of traveleven though he wasn’t up for election for another two years. In 2008, Biden managed to spend $14,440 on private helicopter transportation.

But now Biden has a plane, and soon Biden could see that kind of middle-class jab coming his way. He could deflect it easily enough, explained Dan Schnur, who served as communications director for the late Sen. John McCain’s 2000 presidential campaign, because private planes “rarely become a political liability, if only because [that travel] is so commonplace.”

This could change, of course, “if it appears the candidate’s air travel is being subsidized or provided by an individual or organization who stands to benefit directly from a candidate’s policy decisions.”

This could lead to questions about two flights Biden chartered on New Year’s Eve in 2006. His campaign paid Excel Three LLC $9,081 for candidate travel. The purpose of the trip remains unknown. Public records, however, reveal some information. The company is owned by the law firm Williams Hart, where John Eddie Williams Jr. is the managing partner.

Biden knows Williams. The two are friends, and as vice president Biden spent the holidays in 2009 with Williams aboard his 190-foot yacht in the Bahamas. Williams is also a donor. Throughout his career, according to FEC records, Biden has cashed checks worth at least $9,900 from the wealthy lawyer, including a contribution of $2,800, the maximum allowed by law, to his current presidential campaign.

Calls to Williams Hart were not returned.

This wasn’t the only time Biden paid a donor for the use of a private plane. He paid $1,136 to BFB Aircraft LLC in October of 2004. Public records show that the company is owned by Ben Barnes, the former lieutenant governor of Texas, a longtime donor, and a well-connected D.C. lobbyist.

Barnes has donated at least $8,000 to Biden throughout his political career, records show. Barnes has also been a prolific lobbyist for the oil and banking industry. According to federal lobbying disclosures, the Ben Barnes Group was paid more than $2.4 million for lobbying work in 2004 alone.

Calls to the Ben Barnes Group were not returned.

Because the Biden campaign did not return requests for comment, it is unknown where the candidate was travelling when he paid his donors for these private flights. But the exact whereabouts of Biden on June 8, 2005 are known. According to a report by the Secretary of the Senate, Biden’s Senate office spent $6,576 to charter a private plane with Aero Taxi Inc. to fly from Wilmington to Nantucket, Mass., then to Baltimore, then back to Nantucket and finally Wilmington — all in the same day.

Other Democratic senators made similar trips to the Massachusetts island that day, at least one of whom reported his as having a mixed purpose of both official Senate business and campaign activity, splitting costs accordingly.

If Biden wins the nomination and eventually returns to Washington for a multi-year residence at 1600 Pennsylvania Ave., he will have found his way there aboard not just trains, but also much pricier modes of transportation.

I posted that so you will know that Biden may have a plane of his own now.  I could not confirm that.  Regardless, he has plenty of friends who are more than happy to loan/rent him the use of private planes, jets and helicopters.  Should the need arise.  With no record of where he goes.

Now we will move on to some other BILLIONAIRES who exhibit similar tastes, talents and tendencies and likely make up more of the tentacles of this Illuminati Octopus.

We have yet to come near to uncovering all the culprits.  But, they are being exposed one by one.  God is lifting the veil and we are learning the truth about the world in which we live.

Fear them not therefore: for there is nothing covered, that shall not be revealed; and hid, that shall not be known.  Matthew 10:26

For nothing is secret, that shall not be made manifest; neither any thing hid, that shall not be known and come abroad.  Luke 8:17

For there is nothing covered, that shall not be revealed; neither hid, that shall not be known. Therefore whatsoever ye have spoken in darkness shall be heard in the light; and that which ye have spoken in the ear in closets shall be proclaimed upon the housetops.  Luke 12:2-3

Rest assured, when the Word of God repeats something more than once it is significant.  When it repeats it three times, even more so, as there is God’s number of perfection.

RICHARD BRANSON 

Richard Branson was born in 1950 and became one of Britain’s most famous entrepreneurs. Starting a magazine at 16, which ultimately failed, he later went into the record business, and expanded the Virgin brand in the 1980s. Today spanning over 400 companies, Virgin’s most ambitious project is to enter space flights. Source

By David Freeman

Virgin Galactic founder Richard Branson has long claimed that one day he would ride into space aboard his company’s spaceplane, and now he knows when.

The British billionaire said Thursday that he plans to take his first trip to space within the next six months — the flight will coincide with the anniversary of the first landing of astronauts on the moon, one of spaceflight’s greatest achievements.

“My wish is to go up on the 50th anniversary of the moon landing, that’s what we’re working on,” he told AFP during an event at the National Air and Space Museum in Washington, D.C.

The first moon landing occurred on July 20, 1969, when Apollo 11 astronauts Neil Armstrong and Buzz Aldrin set their lander down on the lunar surface.

Virgin Galactic isn’t the only company working to indulge the dreams of wannabe astronauts.

Garriott said Virgin Galactic and Blue Origin likely would have plenty of customers for years to come. “The real question is sustainability after the first few hundreds of flyers,” he added. “I do have price elasticity concerns once the price becomes multiples of hundreds of thousands.”

As you likely already know, Richard Branson is the owner of Necker Island, a vacation paradise he calls home and often rents out to other rich and famous people. But, did you know that like his well diversified Virgin empire, Branson also owns a second island paradise you can visit too?

As Robb Report recently shared, Branson is the proud owner of Makepeace Island, an equally picturesque island located off the Sunshine Coast of Australia.

Makepeace Island Noosa Australia - Richard Branson

COURTESY OF MAKEPEACE ISLAND

As described on the island’s site, it’s named after former resident and “colorful local character,” Hannah “Shotgun” Makepeace. In 2009, Branson and his Virgin Australia co-founder Brett Godfrey transformed the island into a family retreat space. Then, in July 2011, the pair opened the island’s doors for exclusive rentals. In 2018, Radek Sali, Chair and Founder of Light Warrior, an investment group that “invests in businesses that are socially responsible & environmentally conscious,” became the third joint owner of the island.

Richard Branson Says He Will Take His First Flight to Space Within the Next 6 Months
After Virgin Galactic’s successful space test flight, company founder Richard Branson is looking forward to the future—and it may come sooner than you think.

Truly, the team has been able to create a space that embodies tranquility. On the island, each area is designed to emulate traditional tropical living. According to Robb Report, rooms include natural linens, plush furnishings, access to a pool area that overlooks the ocean, a fully stocked bar, and views for days.

And really, it’s little surprise the views are the main attraction as Makepeace is all about maintaining the natural beauty of the island.

“At Makepeace Island, we act as custodians of this pristine environment and seek to minimize our footprint on the environment,” the team explained on the site. “Organic produce, our own chickens and beehives, vegan-friendly amenities, recycling, and a wastewater purification system. Our farm to table concept is at the heart of everything we do. Our produce and amenities sourced regionally to support the local community and we work with partners who practice the same degree of commitment to long term sustainability goals.”
COURTESY OF MAKEPEACE ISLAND

Of course, the island comes with plenty of billionaire-worthy perks too, like an entire island staff to cater to your every whim, a helicopter landing area, tennis courts, and more.

In total, the island can house up to 22 guests, the Sunshine Coast Daily reported. Though those guests, called “castaways” on the island, will also have to come with some rather fat wallets as the entry-level rate is $10,000 a night for a two-night minimum during its main season. That, Sunshine Coast Daily explained, breaks down to $1,250 per person per night. However, it also includes all food and activities, a 20-minute limousine transfer, and 10-minute boat transfer to and from the island. So really, you could be living like Branson and his friends for a steal. No previous entrepreneurship experience or A-list status necessary.

Necker Nymph
Jun 9, 2014

LONDONJanuary 29 /PRNewswire/ — Virgin Limited Edition enters the underwater world, welcoming Necker Nymph, a DeepFlight three-person aero submarine. Likened to an underwater aircraft, this open cockpit winged sub is the first of its kind to hit the market – would Sir Richard Branson want it any other way?

Designed and built by renowned engineer, Graham Hawkes, of Hawkes Ocean Technologies, Necker Nymph represents a new class of high-performance, positively buoyant vehicles which safely extend the overall capabilities of scuba, while offering the unique experience of underwater flight. Unlike all conventional subs which use ballast to sink in the water, Necker Nymph uses downward ‘lift’ on the wings to fly down to depth.

Available either when chartering Necker Belle, the luxury 105 foot catamaran, or when staying on Necker Island, underwater flight on Necker Nymph takes exploration to another level. Gliding on the water’s surface like an aeroplane on a runway, one of the three pilots will operate the joystick to smoothly dive down, and the thrilling experience begins. Uncover ancient shipwrecks, fly side-by-side with dolphins, or spyhop with whales; the options are endless. With the flexibility to glide peacefully over glorious reefs or bank adventurously in 360 degree turns, the sub is hydrobatic. Individual “wind shields” remove the pressure of slipstream, enabling comfortable speed and ranges previously unthinkable without enclosing the pilots. The open cockpits afford near ideal 360 degree viewing for occupants, creating a uniquely open experience. Dives can last up to two hours.

Guests follow standard SCUBA procedures and will be trained/accompanied by a certified Necker Nymph pilot. Importantly, like all DeepFlight subs, Necker Nymph has near-zero environmental impact. Its positive buoyancy prevents the sub from landing on a reef, and its low light and noise emissions ensure the fragile ocean ecosystems remain undisturbed.

Ultra-lightweight and compact, this newest DeepFlight sub was designed specifically for Necker Belle, but can also be launched from shore. When taking Necker Belle for 7-nights’ exclusive hire, the sub is available at a weekly rate of US$ 25,000. The sub may at times be berthed on Necker Island, so if planning a visit, make sure to ask if she’s available!

Notes to Editors:

Virgin Limited Edition is a collection of unique retreats chosen for their stunning locations, magnificent surroundings and offering a sense of fun, style, luxury and exceptional personal service. The group includes Necker Island in the Caribbean’s British Virgin Islands, Ulusaba Private Game Reserve in South Africa, Sa Terra Rotja in Mallorca; The Roof Gardens and Babylon Restaurant in London; Kasbah Tamadot in Morocco, The Lodge in Verbier, Necker Belle, a 105 foot luxury catamaran and Necker Nymph, a three man aero submarine.

Hawkes Ocean Technologies is a privately-held company based in the San Francisco area that designs and builds the world’s most advanced manned and remote vehicles for deep ocean exploration. Founder, Graham Hawkes, is recognized as the world leader in pioneering craft to access the oceans. Hawkes Ocean Technologies is currently commercializing the DeepFlight winged submersible technology, and most recently has built the world’s deepest submersible, the 36,000 foot DeepFlight. Challenger, for the late adventurer Steve Fossett, and DeepFlight Super Falcon for venture capitalist, Tom Perkins.

Dreams of off-the-shelf high-speed personal submarines came closer to a reality today when Hawkes Ocean Technologies, the creator of the Super Falcon personal submersible, announced it would team up with Virgin Galactic entrepreneur Richard Branson to build the next-gen winged exploration vessel.

Hawkes has also unveiled a new carbon-fiber winged prototype that will be used, at first, as a pleasure vessel for Branson. Like the Super Falcon, the new Necker Nymph (or Deep Flight Merlin) ferries two passengers and a pilot and carries a high price tag for a ride–$113,000 for a week of water play. Branson will house the underwater aircraft at Necker Island in the British Virgin Islands, using its bubble cockpits with wide-angle views to entertain visitors.

Hawkes says that the next addition to his Deep Flight line, submersibles capable of high speed deep sea travel, will be able to dive down to 35,000 feet. Branson hopes that the next craft, equipped with jet-fighter technology and piloted by a joystick, signals the next step in deep ocean exploration, such as navigating into the depths of the Mariana Trench, the deepest point in the ocean.

The prototype itself racked up a $670,000 builder’s fee, but it’s worth the cost, according to Hawkes designers. The submersible boasts individual `wind shields’ that take away slipstream pressure, allowing the Nymph to have an open cockpit with panoramic views. In addition to luxury transport, Hawkes designed Nymph to be environmentally friendly: Positive buoyancy will keep the craft off of coral reefs, and its low light and noise emissions prevents the sub from disturbing wildlife.

Sir Richard Branson may have already branded his Necker Nymph aero submarine with the “Virgin Oceanic” moniker, but he’s now finally taken things to the next logical (and ambitious) step. He’s just announced a new, full-fledged venture of the same name, which promises to do to nothing short of dive to the deepest part of each of the Earth’s five oceans — all within the next two years, no less. That will be done with the one-manned sub pictured above, which was designed by Graham Hawkes and will be piloted by Chris Welsh on its first dive to the bottom of the Mariana Trench later this year — those two are Branson’s partners in the venture, and Branson himself is set to pilot the sub on its second mission to the Puerto Rico Trench. Not surprisingly, one of the team’s goals is to set a few world records, but they’re also planning to conduct some scientific research along the way, and are already musing about future vehicles that could collect samples and allow for more extensive research. Head on past the break for a teaser video, although we’re told it should not be assumed to reflect an actual mission.

The symbolism of the name of his holding company will make sense as you read further about Jeff Bezos.

POPLAR tree
Celtic Symbols
According to the Celtic code of symbolic trees, the poplar is associated with victory, transformation and vision. These symbols come from the ancient Celtic alphabet called the Ogham, according to the Whats-Your-Sign website. This alphabet comprises 20 symbols. Each symbol links up with a particular tree, and each tree represents a quality or state. The letter “E” and the Ogham name “Edad” are linked to the poplar tree in this system.
In Mythological Terms
The poplar has numerous mythological meanings. Heracles/Hercules wore a crown of poplar leaves as he led Cerberus/Kerberos from Hades/Haides. Cerberus was the three-headed hound with the tail of a serpent, a mane of snakes and the claws of a lion. It guarded the gates of the underworld. Retrieving Cerberus was one of the 12 labors assigned to Heracles. According to legend as described on the Angelfire website, the surface of a poplar leaf is dark, forever singed by the fires of Hades. A parallel meaning is that the poplar is a tree of endurance and conquest. The poplar also means the “talking, whispering and quivering tree.”  Source

GLEN /Valley
The type of valley that the word glen describes is usually bordered by sloping edges rather than the deep and jagged sides of a ravine, but this can vary depending on location. Source

The symbolism of the valley has a close association with creation and the birth of civilization. Valleys and the lush vegetation within them provide the places where new lives can begin again, where a man can establish a family.  Source

The richest person in the world, Amazon founder Jeff Bezos, spent $65 million on a private jet.

Amazon founder Jeff Bezos, officially named the richest person in the world earlier this year, spent $65 million on a Gulfstream G650ER — a private jet that seats eight people. Last year, the jet made many flights to Washington, DC, which ended up being a clue to the new Amazon headquarters.

Bezos initially named his new company “Cadabra”  as in “abracadabra.” Founder Jeff Bezos rapidly re-conceptualized the name when his lawyer misheard the word as “cadaver.but later changed the name to Amazon after the Amazon River in South America, in part because the name begins with the letter A, which is at the beginning of the alphabet.

Cadabra is a computer algebra system designed specifically for the solution of problems encountered in classical field theory, quantum field theory and string theory. The first version of Cadabra was developed around 2001 for computing higher-derivative string theory correction to supergravity.  Source

The company is named for the world’s most voluminous river, but it also has tributaries shooting out in all directions. Retailer hardly captures the company now that it’s also a movie studio, an artificial-intelligence developer, a device manufacturer, and a web-services provider. But to describe it as a conglomerate isn’t quite right either, given that so many of its businesses are tightly integrated or eventually will be. When I posed the question to Amazonians, I got the sense that they considered the company to be a paradigm—a distinctive approach to making decisions, a set of values, the Jeff Bezos view of the world extended through some 600,000 employees. This description, of course, means that the company’s expansion has no natural boundary; no sector of the economy inherently lies beyond its core competencies.

Where in the pantheon of American commercial titans does Jeffrey Bezos belong? The scope of the empire the founder and CEO of Amazon has built is  without precedent in the long history of American capitalism.  When Bezos created Amazon in 1994, he set out to build an institution like the ones that had carried him through the first three decades of his life. He would build his own aristocracy of brains, a place where intelligence would rise to the top.

Today, Bezos controls nearly 40 percent of all e-commerce in the United States. Amazon Web Services controlling almost half of the cloud-computing industry Forty-two percent of paper book sales and a third of the market for streaming video are controlled by the company; Twitch, its video platform popular among gamers, attracts 15 million users a day. Add The Washington Post to this portfolio and Bezos is, at a minimum, a rival to the likes of Disney’s Bob Iger or the suits at AT&T, and arguably the most powerful man in American culture.

Amazon has announced the following endeavors: It will match potential home buyers with real-estate agents and integrate their new homes with Amazon devices; it will enable its voice assistant, Alexa, to access health-care data, such as the status of a prescription or a blood-sugar reading; it will build a 3-million-square-foot cargo airport outside Cincinnati; it will make next-day delivery standard for members of its Prime service; it will start a new chain of grocery stores, in addition to Whole Foods, which it already owns; it will stream Major League Baseball games; it will launch more than 3,000 satellites into orbit to supply the world with high-speed internet.

At any moment, its website has more than 600 million items for sale and more than 3 million vendors selling them. With its history of past purchases, it has collected the world’s most comprehensive catalog of consumer desire, which allows it to anticipate both individual and collective needs. With its logistics business—and its growing network of trucks and planes—it has an understanding of the flow of goods around the world. In other words, if Marxist revolutionaries ever seized power in the United States, they could nationalize Amazon and call it a day.

The reason he’s earning so much money is to get to outer space; to get all people off the Earth and see it turned into a huge national park.” Source: The Atlantic

And Jeff Bezos’  plans to charge customers $200,000 to $300,000 for brief suborbital flights aboard its New Shepard spacecraft sometime this year, through his rocket company, Blue Origin,

He funds that venture—which builds rockets, rovers, and the infrastructure that permits voyage beyond the Earth’s atmosphere—by selling about $1 billion of Amazon stock each year. More than his ownership of his behemoth company or of The Washington Post—and more than the $2 billion he’s pledged to nonprofits working on homelessness and education for low-income Americans—Bezos calls Blue Origin his “most important work.”

Over the years, Bezos has made himself inaccessible to journalists asking questions about Amazon. But he shares his faith in space colonization with a preacher’s zeal: “We have to go to space to save Earth.”

At the heart of this faith is a text Bezos read as a teen. In 1976, a Princeton physicist named Gerard K. O’Neill wrote a populist case for moving into space called The High Frontier, a book beloved by sci-fi geeks, NASA functionaries, and aging hippies. As a Princeton student, Bezos attended O’Neill seminars and ran the campus chapter of Students for the Exploration and Development of Space. Through Blue Origin, Bezos is developing detailed plans for realizing O’Neill’s vision.

The professor imagined colonies housed in miles-long cylindrical tubes floating between Earth and the moon. The tubes would sustain a simulacrum of life back on the mother planet, with soil, oxygenated air, free-flying birds, and “beaches lapped by waves.” When Bezos describes these colonies—and presents artists’ renderings of them—he sounds almost rapturous. “This is Maui on its best day, all year long. No rain, no storms, no earthquakes.” Since the colonies would allow the human population to grow without any earthly constraints, the species would flourish like never before: “We can have a trillion humans in the solar system, which means we’d have a thousand Mozarts and a thousand Einsteins. This would be an incredible civilization.”  Source: The Atlantic

Bezos also plays with SUBMARINES

Bezos’ hobby is so elite, expensive and niche that it makes sense only he’s known for it. When given the opportunity, he spends time combing the oceans for discarded NASA rocket ships.

Because most of the rocket ship detaches from space shuttles mid-flight, there’s no safe place to discard the rocket boosters, except over the ocean. Bezos has turned this into his hobby, working with teams in submarines (sometimes bringing along his family) to retrieve these historic relics. He once spent three weeks on a single underwater rocket hunt.  Source

In 2013, the Amazon founder spent three weeks aboard a submarine. The excursion successfully collected the booster rockets from the Apollo 11 mission.

At a July 15 gala here hosted by Apollo 11 moonwalker Buzz Aldrin, Bezos and other dignitaries celebrated the 48th anniversary of the first human landing on the moon in July 1969. Bezos also accepted the first annual Buzz Aldrin Space Innovation Award at the event. recover pieces of space-age history that were resting on the Atlantic Ocean seabed, 3 miles (4.8 kilometers) beneath the waves.

Via Steve Jurvetson (https://www.facebook.com/jurvetson): We live in incredible times. Jeff Bezos’ crew has found the Apollo 11 booster at the bottom of the sea and now they have recovered two of the enormous F-1 engines which hit the ocean in 1969 going 5000 MPH. This is the thrust chamber section on its way back to Cape Canaveral today. And here is the HD video of the robotic recovery: https://dg9yyrvzimtaq.cloudfront.net/… Jeff writes: “We on the team were often struck by poetic echoes of the lunar missions. The buoyancy of the ROVs looks every bit like microgravity. The blackness of the horizon. The gray and colorless ocean floor. Only the occasional deep sea fish broke the illusion.” “Each piece we bring on deck conjures for me the thousands of engineers who worked together back then to do what for all time had been thought surely impossible.”

Even though Jeff Bezos may not own a submarine, he obviously has access to their use. Though I did not find any island owned by Bezos, he certainly has a lot of interesting properties…that would take another post.  

We have seen another Billionaire who seems to have all the same interests, here we can very clearly add the fascination with SPACE.  Which they all share on different levels.  They worship the Sun, Moon and Stars.  Elon Musk obviously can match Jeff’s enthusiasm for space.

Elon Musk keeps climbing list of world’s wealthiest people

Tesla CEO Elon Musk added a whopping $5 billion to his net worth on Monday thanks to Tesla’s never-ending stock rally, allowing him to finish the day as the fifth-richest person in the world with a net worth of $74.2 billion.

Musk, who as recently as a few weeks ago was No. 20 in the global rankings, according to Forbes, is now behind only Facebook CEO Mark Zuckerberg, Microsoft’s Bill Gates, luxury goods titan Bernard Arnault and Amazon chief Jeff Bezos.

Don’t look for the outspoken billionaire to claim the title of world’s richest man anytime soon, however. His $5 billion net worth spike on Monday pales in comparison to the $12.9 billion added by Bezos, who has a fortune of $188.9 billion.

The origin of X

X is commonly used to represent the unknown in both language and mathematics. X is derived from the Phoenician letter samekh, meaning “fish.”  (Wow, that is a loaded sentence.  First of all it comes from the Phoenicians so it is related the the Phoenix; as in rise of the Phoenix from the ashes.  numerical value of samekh is 60, and “fish” as in the Fish God/Merfolk. The Phoenicians were known for traveling the waters/seas.  In their mythology of  origin the world was created from the union of the primeval elements of Wind and Desire, followed by creatures hatched from an egg, which in turn generate humanity. The God Melqart represented the Monarchy, the Sea, HUNTING AND COLONIZATION.) Originally used by the Phoenicians to represent the /s/ consonant (denoting a hard S sound), the Greeks borrowed the samekh around 900 BC and named it Chi.

The ancient Greeks utilized their newly acquired phonological element to simplify the digraph (“a pair of letters representing a single speech sound”) /ks/, which is used most prominently throughout the western regions of Greece.

The Romans later adopted the X sound from the Chalcidian alphabet, a non-Ionic Greek alphabet, and borrowed the Chi symbol, consisting of two diagonally crossed strokes, from the Greek alphabet to denote the letter X as well as to identify the Roman numeral X or “10.”

  1. 1. X can also be understood as a “crossing over” to another dimension: a transcendence, transformation, or transmigration.
    2. X—or cross— also known as the Swastika has come to symbolize the very essence of evil.
    3. X the letter, as signified by the skull and crossbones, portrays death by poison.
    4,. The majuscule letter X is a picture of the crook and flail of Assur.
    5. X is the symbol of the sun god, a simple rayed sun or star – Osiris
    6. X
     represents the 4 quadrants, meaning perfection and wholeness.

    7. X can represent an unknown

Elon Musk said his and Grimes’ new baby is named X Æ A-12. Grimes broke down the meaning behind each letter of the bizarre moniker.

 and  /May 5, 2020, 8:40 PM

Grimes broke down the significance of each letter of the bizarre name on Twitter on Tuesday night, explaining that X stands for “the unknown variable,Æ stands for “my elven spelling of Ai,” and A-12 is the “precursor to SR-17 (our favorite aircraft).”

Tesla and SpaceX founder, Elon Musk’s private flight use became the center of controversy in January 2019. The CEO reportedly logged 150,000 miles in 2018 aboard his $70 million Gulfstream G650ER Tesla paid $700,000 to help cover the cost of the 150,000 miles logged last year.

Musk may not own an island, but he has properties on both coasts.  His SpaceX project is moving in to Brownsville, TX which is on a peninsula on the border of Mexico and Texas and the Gulf  of Mexico. 
SpaceX, the company of billionaire entrepreneur Elon Musk, is transforming this area outside of Brownsville into a launch site for reaching the moon, Mars and beyond. Musk came to the area last month to unveil his company’s Starship Mk1 prototype, a space vehicle that would be combined with the Super Heavy Rocket to one day carry people into space from Boca Chica, and suggested that buying out residents would be preferable to temporarily relocating them during launches for safety reasons.  Source

Elon Musk Explains Why “Submarines Are Just Underwater EVs”

by Claribelle Deveza January 26, 2020/all-electric vechicles Elon Musk EVs

Elon Musk took some time on Twitter recently to explain why submarines were like EVs. Submarine cars have been a long-time dream for people who are fans of spy flicks and cool vehicles altogether. But there is a real-world use for cars that can be submerged under a certain level of water, namely floods.

“A Tesla works as a boat for short periods of time, as an electric car has no intake or exhaust to block & battery/motor/electronics are water-sealed,” explained Musk on Twitter. In his tweet, Musk included a video titled, “This is how to escape a sinking car.”

Tesla’s CEO talking about submarine cars isn’t new. Musk has shared his admiration for the Lotus Esprit from the James Bond movie “The Spy Who Loved Me,” which could actually turn into a submarine. Musk has even admitted that Tesla’s all-electric pickup truck, the Cybertruck, was partially inspired by the amphibious Lotus Esprit in the iconic spy movie.

While Musk is known for typically driving one of his company’s more affordable cars, he did splurge on a submarine car that appeared in a James Bond movie.

Elon Musk spent close to $100,000 at a London auction to purchase the 1976 Lotus Esprit. The submarine car appeared in the 1977 James Bond movie “The Spy Who Loved Me.” In addition to this purchase, Musk also owns a Ford Model T and other vehicles.

Private Island

Richard Branson isn’t the only billionaire to own a private tropical island, Gates has one too. According to Wealth-X, Gates’ island in Belize, called Grand Bogue Caye, is valued at about $25 million.  Source: According to Wealth X  Source

Grand Bogue Caye, Belize
Owner: Bill Gates
Net Worth: $56 BillionNothing quite speaks of exclusivity like owning your own private island, cloistered away from the rest of the world on a personal piece of Paradise.
 
Bill Gates is by now no stranger to extravagance, as seen by his purchase of this island – supposedly the largest in the republic of Belize. Ever the savvy entrepreneur, Gates may have purchased this particular plot for its reputation as being one to provide unparalleled opportunities for growth and investor return. That, and it is just an astounding piece of Paradise with amazing water sports, specialized saltwater fishing areas, gorgeous views of the water, abundant shady palm and coconut trees, and a lush forest toward one end of the island.  According to Born Rich

Particularly in Belize there are many caves. Since the sixties of the twentieth century, the caves are mapped and investigated. Now, there are over 300 caves examined. These already count over 150 kilometres of underground galleries. The Cebada and Petroglyph are even two of the largest caves in the world. The caves are easily found in the whole country, but most are found in the south and west of Belize. In front of the coastline you can still find underwater caves, among others the Blue Hole and the Giant Cave. The giant cave is one of the longest underwater caves in the world. All of these caves also played an important role in the Maya mythology.

Belize has a huge cultural past whose remnants certainly must be visited. Belize has many unique ruins and temples of the Mayan culture that, although built thousands of years ago, are still in good condition. The first remains of the Mayan culture date back to 1500 B.C. The Mayan civilization reached its climax between the sixth and eighth century A.D. In this period a massive empire spread over the area where we now find the countries Belize, Guatemala, parts of Mexico, Honduras and El Salvador. In Belize, the ancient buildings of the Mayas are usually still hidden and overgrown by the dense jungle. A number of Mayan temples have already been made accessible, for example the magnificent complex of Altun Ha, where in 1968 the largest by Mayas edited piece of jade (green stone) was found. Also Xunantunich is worth a visit. Xunantunich in Belize, is the most famous Mayan complex. On the top of the temple El Castillo you get a beautiful view over the dense jungle which surrounds the Maya complex. Tucked away in the dense jungle you’ll also find remnants of classical Mayan cities such as Caracol which still radiates a huge grandeur. Furthermore, the Caracol is the largest Maya complex in Belize. The main pyramid of Caracol mentions Caana. Caana is the highest pyramid in Belize ever made by people and has a height of 43m. Caracol is located deep in the Forest Reserve jungle Chiquibil. On the top of the pyramid Caana you get a wonderful view over the Caracol complex and the surrounding jungle. The Maya ruins of Caracol, however, are not so well dug up as that of Tikal, Xunantunich, Altun Ha Cahal, a breakdown of several other archaeological Maya sites. This gives Caracol a special charm of authenticity, robust nature and adventure. Many Mayan cities are still undiscovered, overgrown by the deep jungle in Belize.   Source

A Closer Look at Serene: The $330 Million Yacht Bill Gates Chartered

Serene Superyacht Rear Profile

While many people must scrimp and save to afford a family holiday, that is not the case for the rich and famous, who have the financial means to go wherever they want whenever they want. You will not find them in budget motels or trying out a destination’s free attractions. Instead, wealthy people can choose the most luxurious accommodation and unique experiences possible for their vacation. One such person who can afford these luxuries is Bill Gates who, with a personal net worth of $95.4 billion, is the second richest person in the world. He has even chartered a yacht worth $330 million to enjoy a vacation with his family.

According to Boat International, Gates chartered a yacht called ‘Serene’ for an estimated $5 million per week. He did this to enjoy a break away with his wife and three children. The family enjoyed a week together on the yacht just off the coast of Porto Cervo, Sardinia, in August 2014.

The 133-foot yacht is one of the largest in the world, and it is owned by Yuri Scheffler, the Stolichnaya vodka magnet. This yacht was delivered to him in 2011, and he has had it on the charter market ever since. Built by the Italian shipyard Fincantieri, it has a rather impressive crew of 53 to take care of the needs of those who charter the yacht. So, what is on the inside of this ship to make it such an amazing experience that is worthy of the high price tag?

Serene Swimming Pool

The Yacht Charter Fleet has ways for its travelers to enjoy activities both off and onboard. The helipad is available so that guests can take trips to the mainland to enjoy a little sightseeing, a meal in a restaurant, or a local activity. There are also jet-skis available for some fun one the waves around the boat or to travel back to the mainland to enjoy some time away from the yacht. Furthermore, the yacht has its very own submarine. However, you might wonder why anyone would want to get away from the yacht when there is so much to enjoy onboard, including activities for children. Just some of the activities and amenities on board for entertainment include a climbing wall, a trans-deck waterslide, a snow room, a playroom, multiple pools, and a cinema. This means that there are plenty of things onboard to keep the children entertained.

This yacht is not all about the kids having fun, as there are plenty of things for the adults, too. In fact, Serene has a myriad of amenities spread over its six decks that make this a unique way to vacation. From the outside, one of the ship’s most impressive features is its supersized bathtub on the sun deck. The award-winning Serene has a private beach club that has a secluded sunbathing area and a sauna. There are also two Jacuzzis and a sundeck dance floor. Opposite the relaxing hot tun tucked underneath the ship’s observational deck is a fully stocked wet bar with extra sun loungers.

Serene Formal Dining Room

Two of the indoor living and entertaining spaces include a cocktail lounge and a piano bar, while outdoor there are various al fresco dining areas, such as a wet bar, a barbeque, a Teppanyaki grill, and a pizza oven. An unusual space in this yacht is the underwater observation lounge, which many people would find a relaxing area as they watch marine life existing in tranquility around them. Serene also has rather impressive accommodation and it can accommodate up to 24 guests. There are 12 luxurious staterooms, include a master suite, a VIP suite, seven double suites, and three twin cabins. The interior design is the work of Espen Oeino with styling by Reymond Langton. The duo has created living spaces that are stylish and opulent while also being comfortable and versatile.

One of the most impressive areas in terms of styling is the sky lounge. This room is decorated in shades of cream that is accented by darker colors and finished with wooden fixtures. It is equipped with sofas, chairs, and coffee tables for relaxing, and boasts some of the most impressive views from the ship which you can view from almost any vantage point. Another fantastic space is the main lounge, which is a more formal area for entertaining. The main color used is white, which gives the room a bright and airy feel, and some warmth is added with darker tones. Central to the room is a piano, which is surrounded by cocktail tables. An unusual feature of this room is its chandelier. The lounge is located directly above the main dining area, and the chandelier drops between the two rooms.

Serene Double Cabin

A double staircase leads down to the chic dining area below. It is set to accommodate a maximum of 24 guests and features two 12-seater tables. However, there is the possibility of entertaining even more people as the tables are extendable and there is plenty of space. This means you can host a banquet in this room. Floor-to-ceiling windows on both sides of the rooms give spectacular panoramic ocean views.

Bill Gates’ time on the yacht with his family is part of his plan to take a more relaxed approach to life and to spend some time away from the office. He has said that he doesn’t have the energy he had when he was younger and plans to balance running his Microsoft Empire and enjoying time with his family better now that he is older. This includes taking vacations away with his loved one. Serene and other chartered yachts are the perfect way for this billionaire businessman to relax and have some fun in comfort and privacy.

Since Gates’ vacation on the yacht, Scheffler has sold the superyacht to Mohammed bin Salman, the deputy crown prince of Saudi Arabia says Yacht Harbor. The Saudi Arabian royal paid a whopping $458 million for the yacht in July 2015. The yacht was once the ninth largest in the world, but it has now dropped into the 15th place because even more impressive superyachts have been built since.

Bill Gates reportedly orders $644M hydrogen-powered superyacht with gym, helipad, infinity pool

Bill Gates reportedly has his eye on the world’s first hydrogen-powered superyacht — a $644 million, environmentally friendly oasis on the sea with its own infinity pool, helipad, spa and gym.

The billionaire Microsoft co-founder was initially rumored to have already commissioned the 370-foot luxury Aqua yacht in a report Sunday in the UK paper The Telegraph.

However, the Dutch design firm Sinot insisted Monday that Aqua had yet to be sold to Gates, stressing it did not yet have a “business relationship” with the second-richest person in the world.

“We invite any visionary client to show their interest,” insisted the company — clearly aiming at eco-warrior billionaires just like him, with designer Sander Sinot saying the inspiration was “the lifestyle of a discerning, forward-looking owner.”

The vessel is powered by two 28-ton vacuum-sealed tanks cooled to minus-423 degrees Fahrenheit and filled with liquid hydrogen — with the only emission being water, according to the report. It will reach a top speed of 17 knots (19.5 mph) and be able to cross the Atlantic, the report says.

While far from the world’s largest yacht, plans show extreme luxury for the 14 guests and 31 crew members who can be accommodated.

It includes its own fully equipped gym, yoga studio, beauty room, massage parlor and a stunning outdoor infinity pool.

Along with luxurious bedrooms, there are numerous outdoor lounges, a giant spiral staircase and an amazing observation room at the front.

Gates’ main motivation in wanting to commission the yacht would be to signal his backing for new, clean technology to cut carbon emissions, the Telegraph said.

He regularly takes superyacht vacations but usually rents yachts rather than owning his own.

Whoever buys it will not be able to enjoy it for a few more years, however, with the report saying Aqua will not be ready until 2024.

The Gates Foundation and Gates Ventures declined to comment to the Telegraph for its report.

“Aqua is a concept under development and has not been sold to Mr Gates,” Sinoit insisted.

The $644-Million Hydrogen-Powered Superyacht That Bill Gates Did Not Buy

The yacht will be ready after 2024 and will be one of the more eco-friendly ways to travel in luxury across the seas.

Several days ago, the entire media world — including major news organizations and design blogs — began reporting that Bill Gates bought a $646 million hydrogen-powered superyacht. Criticism and praise of this action subsequently flooded social media.

However, Gates did not, in fact, buy the yacht.

LARRY ELLISON

Ellison went to work for the electronics company Ampex, which had a contract to build a database for the CIA codenamed “Oracle.

In 1977, Ellison and partners Bob Miner and Ed Oates founded a new company, Software Development Laboratories. The company started with $2,000 of funding, $1,200 of which came out of Ellison’s own pocket.

Ellison and company were inspired by IBM computer scientist Edgar F. Codd’s theories for a so-called relational databasea way for computer systems to store and access information. Nowadays, they’re taken for granted, but in the ’70s, they were a revolutionary idea.

The first version of the Oracle database was version 2 — there was no version 1. In 1979, the company renamed itself Relational Software Inc., and in 1982 it formally became Oracle Systems Corp., after its flagship product.

Let’s take a look at how long these subs have been available and how far they have developed.  You will be surprised.

This article is more than 10 years old.

For years, Graham Hawkes dreamed of flying underwater. As an engineer and explorer, one of his first challenges was to design and build cost-effective submarines that were lighter and easier to maneuver. That mission quickly turned into a desire to pioneer a new wave of winged submarines that could reach record depths and revolutionize deep-sea exploration.

Hawkes says it took him and his team about 15 years to master underwater flying. The Deep Flight Super Falcon unveiled by Ocean Hawkes Technologies last year, became the first production submarine of this caliber. This machine could take passengers over a 1,000 feet below sea level allowing them to explore marine life rarely seen by the world. As this type of technology evolved, Hawkes noticed an increased interest from billionaires and wealthy clients.

These machines give their owners capabilities that no one else has on the planet,” says Hawkes. “To be able to move with big animals to be the first human being to have that freedom, what’s that worth? If you’re a billionaire it’s certainly worth that chunk of change.”

Venture capitalist Tom Perkins was the first to get his hands on the $1.3 million Super Falcon. Earlier this year, Richard Branson unveiled his new submarine, the Necker Nymph, also designed and built by Hawkes. The Nymph is lightweight and with an open cockpit, represents a breakthrough in scuba diving technology. Branson branded the submarine under the Virgin Limited Edition collection and it’s available for rent for $25,000 a week when staying as a guest on Necker Island.

Billionaires have been adding submarines to their yacht collections for some time. Microsoft co-founder Paul Allen’s monumental yacht, the Octopus holds two luxury submarines in addition to a helicopter. And Russian billionaire Roman Abramovich boasts two multi-million dollar models designed by U.S. Submarines. Although the wealthy have spent millions on specially-designed machines, Hawkes says the future of this technology is looking a lot more affordable.

“This is the birth of underwater aviation. The price of these things really should come down to what light aircraft are. Right now they’re reflecting scarcity, but in the future the price should come down to a third of where it is now.”

FALCONRY  (again, we see the connection to Hunting.)

Its history has been traced as far back as 2000 B.C. through ancient writings, artifacts, and art. It developed in the ancient civilizations of the Middle East, Asia, and Europe.
The ancient Egyptians worshiped a falcon god called Horus and trained raptors on perches are depicted in Egyptian art.   Source

Falconryis the hunting of wild animals in their natural state and habitat by means of a trained bird of prey. Small and larger animals are hunted; squirrels and rabbits often fall prey to these birds. There are two traditional terms used to describe a person involved in falconry: falconer flies a falcon;an Austringer (French origin) flies a hawk (Accipiter, some buteos and similar) or an eagle (Aquila or similar). In modern falconry, the red-tailed hawk (Buteo jamaicensis), the Harris’s hawk (Parabuteo unicinctus), and the peregrine falcon (Falco perigrinus) are some of the more commonly used birds of prey. The practice of hunting with a conditioned falconry bird is also called hawking or gamehawking,although the words hawking and hawker have become used so much to refer to petty traveling traders, that the terms falconer and falconry now apply to most use of trained birds of prey to catch game. Many contemporary practitioners still use these words in their original meaning, however. Source: Wikipedia

What’s More Luxurious than the Superyacht Experience? The Super Submarine Experience

by Adam Lehrer/  October 30, 2014

Yachts just keep getting better, bigger, and more luxurious. It’s getting hard to conceive that there might be even more innovative design in the realm of superyachts. And while it’s more than likely that yachts will continue to dazzle, it seems that the most daring wealthy yachters are abandoning the top of the ocean and diving 20,000 leagues under the sea. Numerous luxury superyacht-deployable submarines have emerged that allow you to do just that.

image via TritonTriton Submarines, LLC. is perhaps the most famous company offering a luxury submarine experience. They were established in 2007 specifically for the purpose of designing luxury submarines to be deployed from superyachts. The most coveted of their products is easily the 3300/6 that holds the distinction of being the world’s deepest diving six person submersible. That’s right, you can literally bring five of your buddies on this thing. Who needs beer and Sunday football when you can relax while exploring the depths of the ocean? The submersible allows you to travel 1,000 meters beneath the surface. Might sound scary to some, but utterly thrilling to others.

Triton (mythology) From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Triton (/ˈtrtən/GreekΤρίτων Tritōn) is a Greek god of the sea, the son of Poseidon and Amphitrite, god and goddess of the sea respectively. Triton lived with his parents, in a golden palace on the bottom of the sea. Later he was often depicted as having a conch shell he would blow like a trumpet.

Triton is usually represented as a merman, with the upper body of a human and the tailed lower body of a fish. At some time during the Greek and Roman era, Triton(s) became a generic term for a merman (mermen) in art and literature. In English literature, Triton is portrayed as the messenger or herald for the god Poseidon.

Triton of Lake Tritonis of Ancient Libya is a namesake mythical figure that appeared and aided the Argonauts.

For those that want to travail the deep blue in style, go with U.S. Submarines’ Discovery 1000. There are versions that carry two, four, and six passengers and not only is the thing extremely lightweight, the company emphasized a very sleep and aesthetically pleasing design. The sub looks more like a boat and seems like it’d be a comfortable way of doing something that might seem quite unnerving and uncomfortable.

Image via U-Boat Worx

Though not to be released until September 2015 but also exciting is the U-Boat Worx Superyacht Sub 3. This sub was designed for superyacht owners exclusively. It is small in size and offers ultimate safety precautions for those worried that their lack of experience and expertise in diving should lead to some very ill-fated situations. It is only 171cm in height and 3,500 kg in weight, so will stow away on a super yacht with ease. The boat carries 96 hours of life support should anything go terribly wrong throughout the journey. A manta control feature allows the three passengers to take turns controlling the submarine, so everyone on board gets to feel part of the journey.

Obviously not all men that are into luxury yachting will feel the need to dive hundreds of meters under the sea. It can be frightening and is most definitely dangerous. But for those that like some honest-to-goodness with their luxury experiences, a submarine experience could be just what you are looking for. When you have seen all the world has to offer, it’s comforting to know that there’s an entire world residing beneath the sea of unchartered territory.

The ultra-rich dive into a new obsession
By Eric Barton /18th July 2015
Billionaires think deep with their latest toy. (Credit: Triton Submarines)

Part of this trend is that it is cool to have a submarine and part of it is that a private person can support research with it.

Tucked away in an industrial park in Vero Beach, Florida, 34-year-old engineer John Ramsay is painstakingly drafting a design for a submarine that will be able to reach the five deepest points in the ocean.

The catch? It’s a personal vessel for a billionaire.

“It’s going to be a world- or certainly industry-changing vehicle,” Ramsay said. The $25m, two-man submarine will take six months to design and another two years to build by Triton Submarines. “Nobody has built a deep-going [personal] vehicle that has been used again and again, but that’s what we are trying to do.”

His client is one of several who see the ocean depths as a new playground. A new breed of billionaires is tapping into their inner Jacques Cousteau — the famous undersea explorer — and they’re willing to pay big. With pricetags starting at a $3m, and requiring a yacht to park on, these personal submarines are not only for adventure, but also for their owners to help advance research and exploration in ways that weren’t dreamed about a decade ago.

“Part of this trend is that it is cool to have a submarine and part of it is that a private person can support research with it,” said Charles Kohnen, owner of submarine builder SEAmagine Hydrospace Corp in California. “This is not just an effort to go where no man has gone before. This is going where no man has gone before — and come back to tell about it.”

The way forward

Still nascent, the personal submarine industry comprises four companies that account for just 20 to 30 privately owned and manned subs across the globe, according to Kohnen, an early pioneer who sold his first sub in 2000.

These sub owners frequently offer charters, at a price often up to $30,000 a day. Some of these vessels have been rented out by other billionaires looking for a new holiday adventure, while others have been lent to research groups to discover new sea life or explore shipwrecks.

Few research organizations can, after all, afford to buy a submarine, let alone pay for upkeep and maintenance or cover the cost of the expensive ship that’s required to transport it out to sea. So, teaming up with a private owner has proven to be one promising strategy.

In 2013, researchers travelling in a privately owned submarine off the coast of Japan filmed a giant squid in its natural habitat for the first time.  And, in March of this year, a team using submarines owned by Microsoft co-founder Paul Allen found the Japanese battleship Musashi, which had been sunk off the coast of the Philippines in World War II.

Sometimes, however, the thrill of discovery lies purely with the submarine owner. In 2012, filmmaker James Cameron broke a record for the deepest solo dive when he used a sub he owned to explore the Mariana Trench, the deepest spot in the oceans, located in the western Pacific. Cameron’s vehicle wasn’t designed for multiple trips into the extreme pressure of deep water and was retired after its only trip.

James Cameron releases the first ever video footage of the bottom of the Mariana Trench — seven miles below the ocean’s surface.

Most private subs reach depths of 1,000m or less. The biggest construction challenge remains the compartment that holds passengers, which become compromised when under pressure at depth. Triton’s subs include a 6.5-inch-thick acrylic passenger bubble made in Germanyat a cost of about $1m. To go deeper, the sub must be far more durable, including a sphere of ultra-thick glass that could cost four or five times as much, Ramsay said.

Just how effective these private owners can be at research or exploration is unclear, said George Bass, professor emeritus at the Texas A;M University Nautical Archaeology Program. Bass is one of the world’s most prolific hunters of shipwrecks, especially in the Mediterranean. Using a SEAmagine submarine off the coast of Turkey, he once found 14 wrecks in a month.

But Bass doubts that private owners could have the same kind of luck. “It’s possible [that private sub owners] could stumble on a shipwreck or a new discovery,” Bass said. “But it takes a lot of research and knowledge to make that happen.”

In the name of science

In Costa Rica, a submarine named DeepSee is being used by adventure travellers, researchers, and scientists for dives predominantly around Cocos Island, about 350 miles off the mainland. With its unique cross currents, the water surrounding the islands is rich with rare coral and marine life, from crustaceans to whale sharks.

DeepSee’s owner, an eponymous private company, allows researchers from the University of Costa Rica to take the sub down for free, said operations manager Shmulik Blum, and they sometimes find new sea life never seen before.

Two years ago, the Costa Rican researchers discovered an entire new family of coral, the kind of discovery that hadn’t been made in 40 years, Blum said. The new, soft coral is in waters so deep that it never sees light and lacks any pigment. Using DeepSee’s robotic arm, researchers scooped up a sample that they later analysed in the lab.

“Usually, the lack of access to waters this deep limits the ability to learn about it,” Blum said. “Once we can get down there, it gives us access to an entirely new world.”

Blum was speaking by phone from DeepSee’s office in the small port of Puntarenas. Hours later, he and his submersible team would be making the day and a half journey to the Cocos Island for a new set of dives. “Maybe we’ll find something new this time too,” he said. “You never know.”

Migaloo £800 million superyacht that turns into a submarine is …

Feb 28, 2018 — boat company has come up with the world’s first submersible superyacht. The yacht turns into a submarine – for all those times you need to go under the water undetected. Migaloo claims that it can build private submersible superyachts and floating islands of any size.

Migaloo yachts are inspired by modern Zumwalt-class destroyer ships – and are available from 236 feet up to 928 feet long

The word migaloo “a white person” – comes from Biri and other northern Queensland languages, where it originally meant “a ghost, a spirit”; many Australians are familiar with this word as a name for the albino humpback whale that migrates along the east coast of Australia.

FROM THE MAGICAL LAND OF OZ: MIGALOO FIRST KNOWN WHITE WALE

What I found most relative about this information is that this whale will turn 33 years old 9/4/2020.  HE migrates from Australia to Antartica.  Australia seems to be popping up a lot in my research and of course we know that something is going on in Antartica.

(CNN) — It looks like something straight out of a James Bond movie, but this concept might just signal that the future of superyachts is sub-aquatic.
Dreamed up by Italian-based naval architect Elena Nappi, the hybrid vessel cantravelon both the surface of the sea and underwater.
Known as the “Carapace,” it submerges to a depth of 985 feetfor up to 10 days at a time,offering amazing views of marine life.
Nappi, who came up with the innovative concept after years of nautical experimentation research, says it represents a “new class of mega yachts,” bringing together the coziness of luxury yachts and the “privacy” of immersion navigation.

‘A spaceship on water’: Porsche-designed superyacht goes on sale

Latvia’s Latitude Yachts announced plans for the Valkyrie Project, a huge luxury yacht that would span 229 meters, making it the largest in the world.

VALkyrie =n Norse mythology,valkyrie (/vælˈkɪəri,-ˈkri,vɑːl-,ˈvælkəri/;[1] from Old Norse valkyrja “chooser of the slain“) is one of a host of female figures who choose those who may die in battle and those who may live.

I would hope that by the time you got this far you are fully convinced that the very wealthy have been enjoying these submarines for a long time.  I am convinced that one of the main reasons they want to have these submarines is so that they can carry on clandestine activities without any concern of being discovered.  Whether that is treasonous agreements and agendas, or drug/gun running, human slavery, pagan rituals, transporting illegal goods such as art or animals.  Or for their perverted trafficking of little children for human hunting parties on their islands,  and cannibalism.
If you are not familiar with the following speech by Michio Kaku, I hope you will listen to it.  I find it interesting that one of the signs he suggests signify that we are moving from a ZERO to a ONE society is when we can control the weather and our oceans.  HMMM… well we know that they have been manipulating the weather for quite some time now, and I propose that they have been controlling the oceans as well.

A TYPE ONE CIVILIZATION  (a BUCK ROGERS TYPE OF SYSTEM) “HARNESSED IT’S PLANETARY POWER,  THEY CONTROL EARTHQUAKES, THE WEATHER, VOLCANOES.  THEY HAVE CITIES ON THE OCEAN.  ANYTHING PLANETARY THEY CONTROL.
That is TYPE 1.

 A TYPE TWO CIVILIZATION (A STAR TREK TYPE OF SYSEM)  IS STELLAR, THEY HAVE EXAUSTED THE POWER OF THEIR PLANET AND THEY GET THEIR ENERGY DIRECTLY FROM THEIR MOTHER STAR. THEY DON’T GO GET A SUNTAN ON THE WEEKEND THEY USE SOLAR FLARES. THEY USE THE POWER OF THE SUN ITSELF TO ENERGIZE THEIR HUGE MACHINES.

According to Michio Kaku we are not even civilized.  We are a type 0 civilization.  We aren’t even on the scale.  That is why “science” is racing so hard to make us a type 1.  He admit that they cannot find ANY evidence of a Type 3 Civilization anywhere.  Truth is, they can’t find a Type 2 either.  HE IS FULL OF GARBAGE.  These “scientists” are indeed MAD!
