Energy Report of the PAT – September 4, 2015
Monster ID shift on September 3-4, 2015
Foreword
Georgi Stankov
Before I proceed with our discussion of the latest monster wave of ascension and global cleansing in the last two days, let me assure you that this wave is continuing today unabated and has even increased its intensity significantly. Since yesterday we have terrible MPRs on lower timelines triggered by nuclear explosions of the dark ruling cabal. These timelines are now severed rapidly from the uppermost mother planet and we are making huge ID shifts and leaps to higher frequency levels. After many days of rain on the West coast we have finally and suddenly sunny weather again today and the feeling that we have moved to a much higher timeline.
Notwithstanding this fact, today there is another massive descent of source energies associated with a severe headache and all the other heavy symptoms associated with such cc-waves. With the sequestration of all catastrophic timelines, we are now ascending very quickly according to the rocket thrust propulsion principle as already described by myself in the past. We have now entered a new round of heightened energy intensities of transformation and ascension and unfortunately this will be associated with more pain and sufferings for all of us as the light warriors of the first and the last hour. The good news is that we are fully in the ascension schedule and we should expect very soon massive collapses of the Orion matrix if this intensity remains as high as in the last 48 hours. My guess is that this energetic preparation is associated with the auspicious 9/11 of this year, where another ascension portal will be opened and some crucial events will happen on the ground.
Let us not forget that we now live in a very hot clandestine WW3 between the Empire of Evil (USA and NATO) on the one hand and the rest of the world that defies their hegemonic policy (Russia and China in the first place) on the other, when everyday significant attempts are made by the dark cabal in the West to trigger a nuclear war. Some nuclear explosions already took place on this uppermost mother planet as in China recently. There is much more that is happening now unreported, but as you all are capable of attuning telepathically to the collective mood, you can easily discern the great tension that is now reigning on this uppermost mother planet on the verge of annihilation. This is the most reliable sign that we are really in the middle of the final culmination of confrontation between the forces of light and darkness and when the necessary threshold is reached – and this can happen any moment from now on – then the MPR is due and we shall ascend before that.
That is why it is so important to report and discuss in-depth our personal experiences with these powerful soul energies that now flow through our personal fields and fuel the ascension process. There is no other more reliable indicator for what is happening on this planet than to register these energies in your fields and listen to your HS who will tell you what is coming next.

” The source vibrations are fully penetrating and dissolving the physical body, the skin is burning as if in flames, the diuresis is maximal with a full micturition every 10 minutes, which points to a maximally enhanced metabolism, and the uplifting power of the descending source energies through the left brain portal is such that one can expect the final transfiguration any moment. It feels like igniting a rocket within the body. There are no words to describe this feeling..”
Dear George,
I have/had exactly the same experience. I could not give it words. I feel like it is a partly Ascension lifting, preparing for the rest to come later this month. I still float and feel like on my chest/heart the veils are being lifted. Like my physicality is lifting.
Love and light, Rob
______________________________
Dear Rob,
thank you for this confirmation of the intensity of the yesterday’s massive ID shift. Today there is another massive descent of source energies with a severe headache for me the whole day. Carla had a sudden dizzy spell this morning which always happens when there is a nuclear explosion on a lower timeline and a subsequent MPR. We had the confirmation that this is what is happening now on many lower timelines that are rapidly separating from this uppermost mother planet and according to the rocket propulsion principle with each lower timeline severed from it we are making an ascension leap to higher frequency levels. Today we have already moved to a much higher timeline and the weather here has dramatically improved after many days of rain.
I personally have the feeling that we have now entered a new round of even higher levels of energetic intensities in terms of transmutation and ascension leaps. Unfortunately, this does not herald anything good for us as we will continue being hit by these ascension waves and will have to suffer a lot to the very last minute which is very close now.
With love and light
George

Dear Mr Stankov,
Last night my daughter started crying hysterically without no apparent reason. It lasted about an our. After reading your report I know why. For me it was quite calm night, put I can definitely feel that something is going on. I`ve been cleaning a lot of human dross lately. Sensing that OCT-NOW is going to be my “time” to leave this reality…
Love and Light from Finland
MIkko Nippunen
______________________________
Dear Mikko,
Carla also felt a lot of grief and sadness yesterday and had to weep for no apparent reason. This sentiment is what also your daughter has picked up. In such cases we have a massive MPR on lower timelines, most of the time after the beginning of a nuclear war by the dark ruling cabal and the death toll is beyond human imagination.
We got confirmation for a near-by MPR yesterday from our HS but this is not new to us. However, this event will have direct repercussions on this uppermost mother planet very soon, on which our consciousness is predominantly present, while we constantly change the timelines.
With love and light
George

Hello Georgi,
Nic from Montreal here.
I saw your latest post on the current wave, I was just about to email you regarding what I was feeling lately, and ask you if others had reported similar feelings…
Today it got stronger, but lately I’ve been feeling intensely the omnipresence of the ”zombieness” and the tentacles of the dark ones, like seeing it through a magnifying glass. I also felt the gap of the ”separation” becoming much clearer, similar to adjusting the focus of a image, to a degree of clarity never experienced before. It feels similar to what I reported to you a few weeks ago about my intuitions on the imminence of the truth on the 9/11 stuff being revealed to the masses some time soon.
My current intuition is strong too, especially today. I feel the gap of the separation widening, like a canyon, and I can almost see it in my 3rd eye, which is rather unusual for me to ”see” things, I usually ”feel” things intuitively rather than ”seeing” them…
This might be indicative of the intensity of the current wave you were just reporting.
May the final collapse come…
By the way, Brad’s articles are brilliant. The latest one on his real estate ”experience” has resonated a lot. In fact, the intense feeling of ”zombieness” and of the tentacles of the dark ones I just mentioned, well I felt it strongly too while reading his article. I can sooooooooo relate to that feeling of not fitting-in with the zombies and the dark ones, it’s not even funny…
Another thing, regarding this recent article about the body’s need to consume sugar:
http://www.
In the past months my body has been craving water like crazy and I’ve been drinking 3 litres of bottled water a day, could it be related?
Thanks for keeping the fort Georgi!
Regards,
Nic
______________________________
Dear Nic,
thank you for your verification of the nasty energies waves as of late and in particular today.
I will forward your email to Brad, so that he gets motivated and continues writing on financial issues.
The separation of the worlds and timelines is very palpable now and we can see and feel it at the same time and the acute awareness of collective zombieness as you call it is omnipresent and very unpleasant. Especially today.
I wrote much earlier that our organisms need a lot of water in the LBP and I even recommended to drink at least 5 litres a day. This is what I do – I am constantly drinking water on top of tea. Especially in the night the waves make the mouth very dry, almost impossible to breathe and this affects the sleep as well. One cannot drink enough these days and this is very important in order to cope with the intensity of these energies as in this way also the conductivity of the body is improved.
With love and light
George
______________________________
Hey Georgi,
Thanks for your confirmation about the big daily water consumption, that’s what I thought. In your reply, your phrase:
”The separation of the worlds and timelines is very palpable now and we can see and feel it at the same time and the acute awareness of collective zombieness as you call it is omnipresent and very unpleasant. Especially today.”
…describes very well what I’ve been feeling. Dead on.
I hope Brad will feel motivated and inspired to write. His financial articles about the dollar, the (missing) gold and the paper-gold nonsense, (and your financial articles too Georgi) have left me with a deep and intense feeling of clarity about the whole mess. I even got a strong feeling that this deep clarity fuels the collapse big time. I already knew this but, to experience the clarity to this deep level, accompanied by this feeling of certainty also at a deep level, makes the ”collapse scenario” so much more real than ever, it makes me feel more alive!
I’ve been searching and reading about Canada’s gold reserves lately and to my surprise Canada has (theoretically) currently only 3 tons of gold in their vaults. That’s pocket change if you compare to most big nations on this chart:
http://www.tradingeconomics.
I thought that this might be proportional to the size of the population and/or GDP per capita of a given country but, oddly:
Australia, with a population of 22 millions, and a GDP per capita of 67,463 USD, has 80 tons of gold,
Netherlands, with a population of 17 millions, and a GDP per capita of 50,793 USD, has 612 tons of gold, compared to,
Canada, with a population of 35 millions, and a GDP per capita of 51,964 USD has 3 tons of gold…
WTF???
Anyhow, this whole Ponzi scheme story of toilet paper fiat ”air” money, QE to infinity, inaccessible vaults, (missing) gold, paper-gold, and rigged stock market, would make a great libretto for a contemporary opera!
I’ll put this one on my composition projects list in case I have any linear time left before the final shift, composing music is still the ONLY thing, (besides reading your website Georgi and spending peaceful time in nature) that brings me any deep satisfaction.
Anything else, which is most inevitably linked to zombies and/or dark ones, well, not just annoys me, but repulses me…
I’ve been doing my affirmations loud and clear lately while driving my car, even screaming them at some point in the hopes that it will accelerate the financial collapse and the rest of the avalanche…
Scream on!!!
Nic
______________________________
Dear Nic,
clarity of mind is the most powerful and only weapon we as Logos Gods have now at our disposal to fuel the end time scenario and finally ascend. Essentially this is the only objective of this website.
Canada not only does not have any gold, it has no real money but only a huge debt and the gullible Canadians do not even bother to think about this as they believe to live in the best of all worlds, while they are being ripped off as in no other country. The average intellectual level in this country can only be measured with negative Zombie-IQ points. I am sorry about this negative assessment but this is the sad truth about this otherwise beautiful country which the Canadians stole from the natives and do not actually deserve.
With love and light
George

9/3 Peak
Glad to know you and Carla are still here. The 9/3 was….well you summarised it so nothing left to add.
Could not believe the intensity, truly. Collapsed into utter exhaustion and awoke to an odd sense of resolve. Every fibre of my being arranged to participate in the next phase, whatever it may be.
Love
Malechite
__________________________
I experienced it so heavily today Sept 4, it was triggered on Sept 2. so much emotional luggage i was in a very intense state, angry,
explosive. i do not want to discuss the details. i have cleared a large bit of it. very emotional but after great love emerged.
Thank you George, know I understand why
blessings, Cindy

Dear Cindy,
thank you for your confirmation of the very intensive emotional cleansing in the last two -three days.
With love and light

Maybe this has something to do with your recent post?

Dear Teemu,
There is no such thing as a X-wave – I have discussed it in the past. There are source waves that flow though our fields and propel the ascension of Gaia and humanity since many years. Their intensity peaks now and of course they cause all kinds of other energetic effects, some of which can be seen increasingly by other people.
With love and light
George
______________________________
You are not that stupid that you didn’t get that the point was in the picture where apparently source waves from galactic center flood to this mother earth. I did not ask your opinion if something like Wave-X does or does not exist.
______________________________
No, I am not stupid at all but a little bored with some of my readers who do not get it that the waves that prepare this ascension are beyond the electromagnetic spectrum and cannot be observed by a human eye or instruments. This is a leitmotif since I have opened this website and I advise you in the future to behave more politely if you do not want me to cut the dialogue with you. I have truly better things to do.
George
______________________________
Dear George.
On fire today?
If yours is the same as my experience on 08-08 which I wrote to you earlier about, I congratulate you! To my best knowledge you were absolutely right about the 5D left brain portal opening and I see everywhere around the Globe highly evolved individuals now making finally that definitive reconnection with their Higher Selfs. Lights are going on around the world.
What this really means is that the first wave is leaving 3D-awareness going into their Souls’ 5th Dimensional fully co-creation of reality. I managed to keep that connection ‘online’ since then [and that’s my full intend & purpose every second] and it’s truly awesome & pure Joy. Life is floating through me and information ‘downloads’ are coming in at high speed.It’s an interaction with the universe for the last weeks in a state of awareness which is completely new to me. I feel like a child exploring my new Universe.
And you? – You are the owner of your own Universe, claim responsibly what is yours & act on it… In your Universe you’re never alone as you will find out it’s full of life. As more people reconnect, 5D is slowly but surely coming down on this Planet and nothing can stop it.
Some of the current chaos is designed to distort this process…
Hopefully this is helpful for anyone.
Peace,
Boddhi
_____________________________
Dear Boddhi,
indeed, very much on fire today as you can read from the energy report of the PAT which I will publish today. I full concur with your assessment of the current energies with one remark: The chaos which we now observe is not hampering the ascension process but is an integral part of it as the matrix must collapse first and this creates a lot of havoc on the ground. But the bigger the chaos, the sooner our ascension. It is just a question of a fine-tuning of our perception to the final events in the current chaotic node of ascension. We had many such nodes in the past, but this one surpasses all previous.
With love and light
George

Thank you Georgi for the post today.
It completely verifies how i felt most of the day and hearing(reading) that from you reminds me -once again- that i am not alone. That really was the most disgusting feeling I’ve ever experienced.
Thank you again.

Lieber Georgi,
ich hatte gestern auch die schrecklichste Welle in den unteren Gelenken, die ich je erlebt habe. Eine Welle jagte die andere bis ich total erschöpft eingedöst bin und dann klitschnass aufwachte. Jeder einzelne Knochen tat mir weh und es trieb mir die Tränen in diei Augen. Dann lief mein ganzes Leben in Eiltempo an mir vorbei und alles was ich schon lange verdrängt hatte kam nochmal hoch. Das war eine massive Reinigung die mich heute immer noch lahmlegt, aber nicht mehr so schlimm wie gestern Abend. Ich bin so gespannt, was da noch kommt, ich hoffe mal nur Gutes.
Reni, Deutschland

Liebe Reni,
ich danke dir für diese Bestätigung der Monsterwelle von gestern, die auch heute noch mit voller Wucht über die Bühne rollt. Es ist der Beginn einer neuen Runde an Höchstintensitäten, die hoffentlich uns bald so hoch katapultieren werden, dass wir sehr bald auch wirklich diese Realität verlassen können.
Liebe Grüße
Georg

Ja, lieber Georg,
heute kann Piotr nicht geradeaus gehen. Schwindel Gefühle mehrmals am Tag. Warum schreibe ich das? Weil du über die schlimmsten Energien schreibst und bis dato drehte sich meine Welt aber nicht die Welt meines Mannes.
Es geht Piotr wirklich nicht gut und ich bin diesmal absolut unberührt. Ich habe schon festgestellt vor Monaten das niemals alle auf ein mal alles gleich erleben sondern immer ein Teil erlebt und die anderen können ausruhen und dann wieder umgekehrt. Ist ja auch richtig so.
Bin sehr gespannt auf die Erlebnisse von anderen.
In Liebe
Sherina
______________________________
Liebe Sherina,
es ist eine sehr treffliche Beobachtung. Wir arbeiten in Schichten, damit wir als Familie überleben, aber andererseits sind unsere Seelen unbarmherzig mit uns. Ich wünsche Piotr eine rasche Besserung, obwohl heute ist ein genauso schlimmer Tag wie gestern.
Liebe Grüße
Georg

Neues vom CERN
Hallo, Herr Dr. Stankov –
https://haunebu7.wordpress.
Bin gespannt, wie es weiter geht. Momentan ist auch das Magnetfeld wieder auf “rot” – der button. Ich merkte bereits gestern, daß wieder was im Anmarsch ist – Schwindel und Übelkeit …
Liebe Grüße auch an Carla,
Petra

Liebe Petra,
ich habe mir nie Sorgen um CERN gemacht, da ich wusste, dass es von den Kräften des Lichtes abgeschaltet wird, wenn die Zeit dafür reif ist.

After the huge slump of all stock markets since August 21st, we saw a natural resistance and a rebound in the last two trading days of the last week. This is normal and this is what I expected and predicted in advance. Brad also confirmed this temporary resistance which reflects the usual flow of all charts.
From a historic perspective, we are just at the beginning of the biggest stock markets crash that this humanity and Orion financial system have experienced in their history. The downward trend will accelerate as there is not a single aspect or factor in the financial markets and in the real economy that could support the chart indices and stop the collapse. Now that the stock markets have begun to crash, there will be no stopping until they lose all their value and have to be wrapped up as it happened in 2003 with the German New Market, NEMAX50.
Today, the US stocks tumbled not because of falling Asian and European markets earlier in the day, but because there is a great and very legitimate fear that the world economy is entering a big depression. In fact, it is in the Greatest Depression of all times since 2008, which I diagnosed and presented to you some time ago, but now the time of truth and revelations has arrived when this fact can no longer be hidden with the help of rigged statistics – the “emperor is naked” for all the people to see. In this sense the stock market indices are just the visible marker of this Greatest Depression that can no longer be camouflaged and has now fully entered this reality in order to destroy it for ever.
The recovery of the stock markets end of last week was very weak, as predicted by Brad and myself, and we witness today, after a very weak begin on Monday already in the red, another big selloff on the stock markets. It began with the NIKKEI 500 that tumbled 4.11%, then the Shanghai Composite Index lost 1.23% and the contagion spread throughout all Asian and European markets.
In Europe, the very anemic FTSE 100 since 2008 was worst hit with -3.03% losses, followed by the German DAX and French CAC (all tradable) with exactly -2.34% each. How could the traders, speak the high-frequency computer fraudsters made it so exactly?
This negative trend was followed by the US markets, which I will discuss in more detail as here is where the dark cabal will lose their global battle with us, the incumbent Logos Gods.
The broader S&P 500 index that better reflects the US economy fell even deeper to 1,913.85 points (-2.96%) and is about to break the previous resistance. This can be seen better at the 2-year-chart. The next resistance is at 1,800 points and then the index can easily fall to below 1,400 points.
S&P 500 chart: http://finance.yahoo.com/echarts?s=%5Egspc+interactive#{“range”:”5y”,”allowChartStacking”:true}
The NASDAQ Index is also in a free fall and ended 4,636 points (-2.94%) as the companies represented in this composite are already in a big crisis and this is known even to the broad public. There is nothing that can support this market. The next major resistance will be at 4,250 points and then it will drop like a stone.
NASDAQ Chart: https://finance.yahoo.com/echarts?s=%5EIXIC+Interactive#{“range”:”2y”,”allowChartStacking”:true}
Finally, I have just received the last assessment of Brad on the today’s trading which I would like to add to this analysis without comments:
“The market scenario typed out last week is playing out perfectly. Dollar fell today as markets got trounced and treasuries barely budged. End of the month markup occurred yesterday morning then all fell apart. Gold trying to go nuts but they are fighting it every minute of the day. I’ve been waiting for Putin to vocalize something like this to bring this to the world’s awareness instead of using weapons
https://www.rt.com/business/313967-putin-says-dump-dollar/
and I think you and I have truly let the world know what it really means. Art of War to them.”
The next days will show how dynamic and powerful the force of the collapse truly is and then we can make some more precise predictions. We are only in two weeks of trading since when the crash began and this is nothing compared to the almost 7 years of rigged stock market bubbles. Even God needed six days to create this world and we as Logos Gods need some more time to destroy it and ascend.

Stock Markets Analysis – The Carnage and Pillage Continues Unabated on the First Day of September

The Scylla and Charybdis – Real Estate Journal of an American Sheep
www.stankovuniversallaw.com
Dear George,
Wonderful post on real estate.
The only area I have more expertise in than markets and currencies is in real estate. I have received so much positive feedback from people around me from what we discussed about markets and currencies and related madness that I thought it would be fun to give some people a view into all areas of real estate. I didn’t learn the markets until my HS directed me in after the crash in ’08 because I was too busy gettin’ frauded out elsewhere. I once asked an amazing boss I had how he was so great at what he did. He said, “Cause I’ve already fu*$ed everything up a couple of times.” I have no plan on how to write this one but I know that I have fu*$ed everything up a couple of times. I throw this to winds of change.
The Scylla and Charybdis – Real Estate Journal of an American Sheep
One of the most treasured gifts for humanity that transcends all time and space is a sense of home. Along with love, art, music, and humor, it is a sacred right of creation. For some the feeling is much more encompassing of the whole project than others, but it’s always nice to have a feeling of home. The dark knows it and is flaunting it right in front of humanity’s face that the sense of home has been hijacked. Love is always trying to be replaced with something to fill the bottomless pit of need. Art and music have been turned against the human race. But you just can’t quite replace a good sense of humor and that is why you can always tell in the laugh (or lack thereof) of a sociopath. Speaking of sociopaths, it may be a good time to talk about real estate and my personal history owning, managing, developing, and learning from getting bashed on the rocks a few times.
The only school I went to after high school was a music school in Los Angeles to further my study in drums. There is nothing like learning Latin drums from Efrain Toro to expand all hemispheres of the mind and body. Watching him keep four different rhythms with four different limbs was quite an experience. I opted not to go college because I knew I would party myself to death and not learn anything. I like to bash my head against real things so it hurts really bad. They don’t tell you on paper how bad it’s going to hurt.
I built my first golf course as an assistant superintendent at a course in north Scottsdale. It was a full remodel of an old-established club near the amazing Pinnacle Peak golf destination zone. I probably didn’t deserve the job, but I was white and willing to learn and that was more than they could find. I was put in charge of 25 Hispanic workers who were directly there from Mexico. I was 19 with barely the ability to tie my shoes and most of these guys were 40 to 50 and had been through hell. They were some of the most amazing people I have ever worked with and their wives made the best tamales. You always had to look out for the rope tied to the workers cart because a rattlesnake they had caught would be there kept alive so that they could kill it later. You don’t want to spoil the meat. I earned respect immediately because I had taken four years of Spanish and one of the feisty guys, Fidencio, tried to give me a hard time. I responded by saying, “Quieres mi verga en tu boca?” and the whole room fell apart. Good times. Besides that, they truly deserved to be my boss.
A few of my best friends for life came from this time and area as the quality of people around this project were amazing. Besides a few cranky old members, there were a lot of amazing members who ran some of the most successful businesses in the world and some staff that were world-class. There was a certain accepted morality about what and how we did things and you knew most everyone was trying for a greater cause. That was about 20 years ago and it has been nothing but downhill in quality from there.
I next went to work for the one of the most brilliantly simple and intelligent humans I have ever met. He was only 25, but his family had been involved in building all of the most successful projects in the area for decades. He hired me because I knew his father from next door in Scottsdale and I was the only one he could find to be his assistant who was younger than him with experience. I was 21 and he and I were put in charge of $15 million or so to build a golf course for one of the largest home builders in the US. I had over 35 employees and in charge of overseeing indirectly a hundred or so more.
We built a course right in the middle of building what was, at the time, the single biggest master planned community ever built. I was a part of building an entire city. I learned to take the water coming out of the tap in the new house all the way back to the pump station that maintained the pressure. The Vermeer Rock Saw was fun to watch cut the utility channels in the horrific soil. We worked with Rainbird on developing computer software that used weather stations and satellites to work to get the exact water per inch that needed to be replaced in each blade of grass that was lost due to ET (evaporative transpiration) as each sprinkler head was placed with GPS and individually wired to operate to its maximum efficiency. I could go on forever with working with nutrients and chemicals and fertilizers and equipment and machinery and mechanics, but my favorite part of the process came when I asked my boss how he knew what to put on the turf and he said, “I listen to the grass.” Great advice.
I once sent an article called the Asshole Factory to Dr. Stankov who published it. This company was developing the epitome of it. The people were all different from I was used to growing up and working with and something started to change. The VP’s flew in on helicopters instead of taking a 20 minute drive north of corporate in Phoenix and when they arrived, they made sure everyone knew it. All efforts were put on the golf holes that went along the show trail to the model homes and the rest they really cared little about. The head VP once had us spend around $75,000 to get the largest crane available to put a tree over a lake and hand dig a spot for a new tree to “spruce” up her opinion of the view. This is the same one that asked if we could “tape some leaves” to the Mesquite trees to thicken them up. Arizona trees aren’t known for being very thick. Then came the personality tests.
We took one major test that showed them our future development possibilities and personalities. I think I finished the test in a group all by myself and it definitely wasn’t the group that was going to be CEO one day. To steal a great quote, I think it said I should be a firewatcher. The structure was designed and being perfected every single day how to funnel the power-hungry assholes to the top and weed out those that would oppose the implementation of power. The rest would just do their thing to get paid. Finding people to get any decent work done was also turning near impossible. We fired two people for every worker we kept for a long time to get staffed. The representation of the human race that was showing up for entry level jobs was very disconcerting.
As should not be a surprise, the company went bankrupt after I left in the 2000 market upheaval and was taken out by another public home builder. The company had been gutted and the assets stripped as well as being heavily over-leveraged underneath while I was stupidly working 115 straight days at a time for at least 10 hours a day. I did it because I loved it and I learned how to figure out every process back to its point of origin from this experience. The day we first played the golf course after two years of that madness was an amazing day. Now I look back and ask what the hell was I doing building a golf course for a bunch of sociopaths in the middle of a desert where grass doesn’t even belong, while piling in 25,000 homes for a bunch of zombies. It’s all perception I guess.
I got a new drivers license a couple months ago. For some reason, with the automatic mail update of my last renewal about 7 years ago, I still had the picture from my Colorado drivers license from when I moved here in 1999. You should see the difference in my picture from when I was 24 and now that I’m 40. One is so full of hope and promise, and the next looks like someone who has seen way too much. I blame the last 15 years of real estate for the look on my face.
I moved back to Colorado because I couldn’t handle the weather any longer and something didn’t feel right with the work environment. I was about to get paid large to take over my own projects but I abandoned the ship. The snakeoil salesmen and headhunters were all over me to move to their projects and suggested so very secretively behind my bosses back, but I couldn’t take it. I did so with no degree. Almost every single person with incredible real world experience was now being required to go to turf school or some other institution to get “degreed”, so the general managers had their asses covered. This is when the paper started to take precedence over performance. Bankers and lawyers love paper and it always looks good on paper. That way you get held responsible to the impossible. How many wonderful meetings I’ve had putting stuff on paper filling out the make-believe of what people wanted to hear. I’ve leased massive shopping centers on paper in meetings, but never found a tenant.
I spent the next few years remodeling houses with my father to sell and to rent as he owned a lot of real estate. He didn’t trust his three sons capabilities, much as my other two brothers were non-committal musicians and he hadn’t seen me at work in Phoenix. In fact, the last time he had dealt with me my hair was way too long and I smoked more weed than I had brain cells. I think he started me at $6.50 a hour plus free housing, but I was just glad to be in the mountains again. I had my Jesus phase teaching myself to build cabinets and zen out on woodworking. I think I whittled the Holy Grail once, but I lost it. Sorry. I learned all aspects of residential construction. Man did I put out a couple really crappy tile jobs. Get the right kind of underlayment, you dork, or it will fail. You used that kind of grout with marble? WTF were you thinking? Oh great. You used Glidden for primer? Now we’re going to have to paint 7 coats to cover up that cheap garbage. One of my favorite times was the Russian plumber that worked for our good friend PT. He told me hot in Russian begins with a C, so the guy always got the hot and cold lines mixed up. He lasted about a month or two. Funny thing is that isn’t true, but I still told the story for years. Turns out he was just a terrible plumber.
9/11 happened and it barely changed my world as a finely tuned sheep. I knew something was wrong, but I did nothing to change my life and question any deeper than the provided story. I took over management of two of our largest properties just around that time. One was a 64 unit apartment complex and the other was a medium-sized shopping center. The next stretch of managing apartments turned out to be the single worst time to manage apartments in a long time in the US. The Fed blew the housing bubble and any decent tenants left apartments in droves.
By ’05 I was praying for convicts to show up and lease to improve the standard of tenant I was dealing with. I watched people who I knew were barely getting paid $8/hour go buy houses. I always tried to help the existing tenants as much as I could and they just dumped and dumped and dumped their problems and destroyed the apartments behind them as they disappeared. By the end of managing those apartments, I knew 95% of the time how their tenancy would play out by phrases and sentences that would repeat in patterns in their interview process.
I knew something was wrong, and I didn’t bother to read a thing. We did actually sell the property a little later when it was full, but the company that bought it went bankrupt in the ’08 crash. The commodity boom went nuts into ’08 and the price of natural gas skyrocketing destroyed apartment owners that covered utilities.
The shopping center was much more exciting as this was part of the retail expansion of the housing boom. We were getting calls from brokers every day to sell it. The funny part was that we never really filled up much space. The town of Lakewood allowed 2 million square feet of retail space to be developed and also gave special tax incentives to build two Super Walmarts. Any small mall owner was being obliterated and having their tenants stolen. Three things prevented us from selling into the most incredible time to unload a shopping center in history: Ignorance, greed, and a perfectly designed tax code. My dad wanted to fill more space and didn’t want to pay any taxes. I told him to sell, but I didn’t back myself up with any true research.
The tax code for commercial real estate is designed perfectly to one day take you out. When you sell a property, you have to invest in a like property within 6 months to avoid taxes. No one wants to pay taxes and it’s never a good time to buy when it’s a good time to sell. This doesn’t affect the big boys much as real estate is truly just one giant money laundering operation for the ultra-wealthy, but it sure makes mincemeat of the smaller investors. Almost all commercial properties are leveraged and almost all have adjustable interest rates to protect the banks. The bottom tiers of real estate are designed to sheer the sheep.
I have two acquaintances that I now know to watch as the bubble indicator friends. They are fittingly growing marijuana now, but they started their own loan agency in ’04. We would go play golf and all they would do is laugh about how much money they just made on a deal while they were slicing drives into the woods. They produced loans for the subprime lenders. They filled out the applications for me on residential properties we bought and I don’t even know what it said. I know they gave loans to every person they knew and then some. I used to call them friends. The appraisers they used were even better. “What do you want the house to be worth?” “How much money to you want to take out of the deal, we’ll just put down a price that accomplishes your goal.”
Now we get to ’05 and ’06 when the Fed starting to crank up interest rates. They had just allowed the entire housing industry to be loaded up with subprime borrowers before they rose rates at least 17 consecutive times. There is no way that this was not an intentional plan to shake down the population and force them into the next phase of the rental plan. Bush removed the short selling uptick rule in the markets and the burning down of the subprime restaurant began.
One of our properties of vacant land in the mountains all of a sudden got in someone’s way. We were contacted by the developer that represented Big Orange Box home (a hint of Home Depot) improvement. They had failed to get the votes in a nearby town and they found us. This parcel had previously been in negotiations with Walmart and several other grocery stores, but had ended in a severe dispute with the town. As they say, the only thing more corrupt than federal government is city government. My father and his partner had rightly sued and won a suit against the city when they changed the zoning on our property overnight without notifying anyone to stop the deal and they never forgot it.
This is really when I started bashing heads with the big boys. I had done a few leases with national Dollar stores and some credit unions, but this was how it all really worked. To get to Big Orange (or Home of D Po’) as I call it, you had to go through the developer who contacted us. He found every site for them and always bought all the land around the developments before any one knew what was happening. Talk about inside job. He found sites for several of the biggest tenants in the world. The number of fees that went to paying lawyers in this process was unbelievable. Long story short, they signed a long-term lease with us but never built as the economy rolled over and the numbers in neighboring stores still never recovered enough to this day.
Big O went to the plan of paper after 2008 that is what is a huge part of the hollowing-out of the US. They saw, or were in on the fascist corporate takeover, that spending money on additional stores wasn’t going to happen ever again. They started closing underperforming stores and then spent a huge amount of cash flows on buying back their shares to start taking themselves private. This worked great and was business smart for all of the initial companies, but it has since degraded into every bankrupt company with corresponding deadbeat CEO in the world. Home of D Po’ used cash flow. Now they issue debt to accomplish the same goal and then the new accounting rules don’t count share purchases on the books the same way to show up. Pure leverage fraud on the entire financial world.
In the process of partnering-up with the developer as he bought out some old partners of ours, I went to the national conventions with him present and was introduced to everyone who represented anyone decent. I had been to the national conventions before, but I never talked to anyone who “mattered.” In fact, the best part was that they always met in front of the doors where the large meetings were held, they would have a quick laptop presentation, get some agreement done, and then head to the bar. Everyone else was paying to play and it’s only gotten way worse.
After selling the apartments, we rolled the gains (1031 exchange rules again, should have walked) into a passive shopping center investment in Kansas. The managing partner had done a great job on a couple of other projects and my dad was friends with him. He had fraud written all over him, but he hadn’t done anything wrong yet. His office and presentation was so professional. We went and looked at the property and it was right up our alley. It was perfect to fix up and flip and the market was hot. Boy did we get the lesson of a lifetime in understanding the micro and macro with this one. We didn’t look at the rest of the city and we didn’t know what dire trouble the entire real estate industry was in. The property was the only kind of properties available at the end of a business cycle and this was the only garbage that was left. We had to buy something and this fit the bill.
This is where we got Trump’d, so to speak. We had no idea how desperate all the banks were to be like each other and the funding bank, Compass, got sloppy because they were being left out of the game. They lowered their standards everywhere and they let our managing partner slide in so many areas just to get a deal funded and fees paid. We got Trump’s by our partner as he pulled the old classic take your cash out through fees move. We only said we would do the deal if he put his own money to ensure performance. We even watched him transfer the funds. He then proceeded to pay himself the largest fee in probably history in relation to the size of the project. We only found out later.
He put together several deals all over the West and got many investors into these deals. In the bulk packaging process, he made agreements beforehand with an architect, contractors, and several other people who all cashed out on the process first. None of the deals he made in the last three years up to ’08 stood a chance as all the equity was long gone. This is how Trump and any person who makes themselves billionaires out of nothing with no product gets it done. Take any money out up front and let the rest roll. If it loses, the investors take the pain. If it works, you are God.
The main reason I ever got interested in the stock markets after this process was because of the direction of HS, but I promised I would never get caught uninformed again and I promised I wouldn’t let any one I know be uniformed again. That’s why this money printing is so brutal and the delay in the ascension process. You only look like a pain in the ass actually informing people of anything unless they really are awakened.
I noticed that the liquid markets of real estate in the stock market were giving warnings a couple of years in advance of the problems I next ran into. There were warnings everywhere. There were great people everywhere talking about it and I never heard a word from all these so-called “professionals.” I next found a program to backtest the entire market for 40 years after studying all the best I could find, and the rest is history. Not until I read “Chapter 11 of the Evolutionary Leap of Mankind” did I truly know I found home, but that’s a whole other story.
Next came the ’08 Armageddon. I remember the look on the banker’s faces as we flew to Kansas to go look as the funding seized up. I remember eating lunch with everyone as the Dow plummeted hundreds of points. The steak I ordered was so juicy. The amazing thing with real estate is its perception. The same can be said with just about everything, but the change in value when you put a pencil to paper on a project is all perception. Suddenly a vacant space becomes a liability instead of a future Whole Foods. I watched a property go from being valued at a possible $25 million with every one wanting to lend money no questions asked, to a vacant money pit with a stalled out construction process being valued at $ 8 million and millions underwater in a few days. It was all paper.
Here’s where not being a sociopath has its downfalls. We took over management of the project and tried to right what was wrong. The tenants were left hanging so we bundled up more money with a couple of the other investors to stabilize the project and get Compass to loan more money. We should have run but we couldn’t. The best part of this is our managing partner lied to everyone and we are still trying to collect IOU’s for all the other money. We didn’t know at the time all the lies involved in buying the property so the partner was still involved. We just took over management.
This is where I learned forensic accounting. I tracked everything back to the source and I was blown away at what truly took place. The level of fraud and lack of fiduciary commitment was unreal, but the biggest problem was that it was everyone. I plugged on to try and make the project work. Boy was that a mistake.
The city built a stadium in the downtown like every other town started to do and they put public funds to revitalize downtown. Public funds were then used to lure tenants to the downtown area and we lost 30% of our tenants to this. Then we lost a huge government tenant to a guy who was best friends with someone in the office even though our space was built out and exactly what they needed. We were getting “good ol’ boys’d.” I went and met with the biggest named lawyers in town to see what help I could get to generate support. They told me there was nothing that would get done and that most likely I would get “good ol’ boys’d.”
Suddenly it was time for the annual fire inspection. I was handed a bill for $235,000 worth of work that needed to suddenly be done. I know the company doing work had a few barbecues with the chief if you know what I mean. The great part of this one was that there used to be a terrible tenant in the basement floor of the old Sears building where he had a toy train club. A lot of people would gather there one night a week and run trains because there was so much vacant space there. They never paid a single penny on thousands of square feet and used a lot of power. The in-state manager finally kicked them out, but the tenant knew the editor in the town newspaper. They ran a scathing article on our project that was never deserved. Our managing partner never bothered to respond even though he knew about it. Brutal.
Next came lawsuit with the lawyer representing the ADA (Americans with Disabilities Act). This was my personal favorite. It was an old property so we got sued for ADA access to all areas. The list they came up with would have cost over $500,000 in repairs. We pulled a permit on construction so the managing partner and architect were supposed to take care of this. So was the building department. Crickets. I ended up settling the suit by paying the lawyer $50,000 and doing about $20,000 in repairs. The handicapped barely got anything done for them.
The tenants I dealt with here gave a view of the world that was a horror show. I negotiated and dealt with the largest Dollar store in the world after I had done deals with the second largest. One lease I signed took 9 months to negotiate every word. I dealt with the biggest rent to own store, video rental store, and one of the largest shoe stores. Then I had a DMV and a county care clinic. Government leasing and negotiations are legendary. I don’t even know how to describe it. The one thing that started to repeat over and over and over again was the pattern of the boys in charge. Their voices all sounded the same over the phone. I started to deal with the head of Citibank’s special assets division on another property and he sounded the same as the guy at mega Dollar store. The two that showed up to fine our Chinese restaurant for a small grease spill sounded the same and threatened us the same. This is where I first was thinking about sociopaths and cloning or seruming of some sort, but that’s a whole other story.
The County Care clinic was a so surreal to watch. Loads of zombies would stumble off the bus and meander down the hill to the clinic for whatever their treatment was. Loads of ’em. All day. Barely any life in their face. The other Dr. next to the County clinic talked to me about his special mix he was loading troubled people up with. He had such a grin on his face as he rang the hyperdermic register in their arm. Whoa man.
We finished the construction which no one thought we’d get done and I take satisfaction in that. Even though we ended up losing an unreal amount of money, we did what was right and the construction head sent me the best bottle of scotch I ever had. I pulled the plug on the project as I could see the cash flow was going to run out. I received a call the next hour from special financial management in town that represented the bank and they demanded I send them everything immediately including bank accounts. They wanted to make sure I didn’t run with the money. That was the foot I got in the ass out the door for dedicating my life to saving the project. Seeing how everything works everywhere was the gift.
At this point I found my way to the bottom of the pyramid. I found what was taking place and found my way to the Universal Law. I then proceeded to sell one other center because my father was on the note if it failed. With what I saw coming, it was bound to. The process took care of itself for me and the phones always rang at the perfect time to get us out and on our way. We went from passing on $5 million in profit years before to just paying us a few bucks for the years of effort.
The parting gift at this last center was priceless. It had an old laundromat, and of course, some of the chemicals used showed up in a drill test as we went to sell the center. The guy said we came in just under the state levels but we had to drill deeper to make sure. It would only cost another $15,000. I asked why he didn’t drill deeper the first time but he of course put it off on the State (probably his drinking buddy). This reminded me of the time a contractor friend told me that the inspector never passed an inspection unless an eight ball of cocaine was present. Good times. So I asked him what was to make sure we would pass if we drilled the test with him and not someone else. On the phone with a couple of brokers, he had the balls to guarantee we would pass the test if we paid him again. I laughed and took it as a proper goodbye.
The realization I finally came to in the real estate process at that time was that it was designed to turn me into an asshole. With debt levels, you treat the tenants like idiots and they actually respond better that way. I couldn’t take it. I will not bow before thee, Xerxes. I have a bum knee.
That’s really the point of all of this article is for people to be able to let go of so many things that may be affecting them and regrets from what has happened to them. The systems are designed to take all your stuff and they are designed to turn you into an asshole. Now they are trying to take everything. All the stormtroopers who think they benefit are next on the list. All the asshole property owners that charge too much as they take out too much debt are about to get taken out. The whole real estate world is about to get confiscated. A few trillion in debt is about to roll over in commercial real estate in the next two years and there won’t be any one to fund it. That’s how they’ll take it. They always do.
I have felt the last few years like Linda Hamilton screaming to the children to run as the nuke bomb goes off that she knew what was coming in Terminator 2.
All the best people I know have been run out of all of the darkest places. The assholes have been funneled to the top. The rug is now being pulled. The energy can no longer support what has been and will never be again on our planet. I know I missed a ton and I rarely check back on what I write. It is what it is.
The sense of home shall not be commoditized ever again on my watch.
Thank you and good night.
With love and light,
Brad Barber
