<br />
In #1, Michael Cremo, author of the seminal text: "Forbidden Archeology" visited the archeological site that I'd been excavating since 2017, under the guidance and the direction of the last of the traditional Hopi on the 2nd Mesa Village of "Shungopavi".  Michael Cremo asserts that he experienced first hand that there is, in fact, a nexus of Portal gates in the archeological site I discovered and excavated starting in the fall of 2017.  Please also view the following #2. video clip of a short tour of the archeological site that is located on my horse ranch some 12 miles north of Cortez, Colorado.  <br />
<br />
If I could correspond with Elon, I could quickly convince him that this archeological site contains an authentic portal complex (Michael Cremo's words) and that the many excavated artefacts substantiate that this portal complex is definitely linked to the Chaco Canyon systems that has led NASA to quarantine parts of the Chaco Canyon system because authentic portal/stargate time and space technologies continue to be present in both the Chaco Canyon complexes, and have been prepared to be reactivated by the ancient technological artifacts that are housed under the archeological site in underground tunnels/caves/cavern systems found under the archeological site located on my (private) property.  <br />
<br />
I would lke to discuss my situation further with Elon Musk personally and consider the possibility of partnering with him to assist me in furthering the massive excavation I have already accomplished, which would involve using various LIDAR like sonar/underground investgations as well as potential crane type excavation of very large boulders that have been artificially situated so as to obscure the presence of stone doors/gates to the underground matrix of artificial tunnels/caves/caverns,.<br />
<br />
Preliminary investigations have yielded results that seem to indicate that there is a good chance that not only are hyper ancient "Builder-type" technologies stored/wharehoused under the archeological site, there is a good chance that there are also huge stores of traditional wealth hidden under the site and the surrounding areas.  <br />
<br />
I was identified by the traditional Hopi back in 2007 when I arrived here in the 4 corners region, when I reported to them the content of the dreams that had led me out here from the Washington DC region, where I had refused offers from the intelligence community to assist them in certain covert operations to limit the number of terms the (then) newly elected indigenous President of Bolivia would be able to serve.  I vigorously refused the proffered appointment, and subsequently became a "targeted individual," and the subsequent pressures of that designation has hounded me ever since.<br />
<br />
I look forward to the opportunity to discuss my propositions and excited to partner with Elon, to further develop the only propulsion system in the universe that makes true interstellar travel possible: Stargate technolgy.<br />

So early on the 25th of December I was ending my evening watching the short videos on YouTube , Mr Musk appeared in 4 separate videos . He was talking about how this past year has been hard on a lot of families , so he was offering &#36;20,000 dollars of Bitcoin to start 2025 with a bang ! So my question is " is it legit ?" . The website's look legit but you must deposit around &#36;300 dollars into your account for identification and account activation . The names of the websites are as follows : Gyrati.com , Kudexdao.com , and Zerunax.com . Any info would be appreciated . I haven't seen any Scam alerts yet . Thank you for looking into into this matter , Ogre Towman]]></description>

I am reaching out for all Laryngectomees. Those who have had their voice box removed due to cancer, or other injuries. A Laryngectomee has had their esophagus restructured to be fully on its own, as well as their trachea, which leaves them to breath out of a hole in their neck. </span></span></span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: small;" class="mycode_size"><span style="color: #222222;" class="mycode_color"><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;" class="mycode_font">My friend is a Laryngectomee and it's been quite a traumatic experience for him, although he is happy to still be here with us! Without it, his Squamous Cell Carcinoma, Stage 4, Moderately Differentiated tumor, which was contained to 2.5" of his left vocal cord, would have taken his life in a matter of weeks, possibly even days. </span></span></span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: small;" class="mycode_size"><span style="color: #222222;" class="mycode_color"><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;" class="mycode_font">His surgeon told him that approx 100,000/year have this surgery; a small portion of our population in the large scheme of things. In that small number, I have watched this group be left behind by the Medical Industry with remedial and inconvenient ways to "replace" their forever lost voice. </span></span></span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: small;" class="mycode_size"><span style="color: #222222;" class="mycode_color"><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;" class="mycode_font">Have you ever tried to not speak? I think our voice is one of the largest things we take for granted. We don't realize how fast conversation goes, until we can't participate in it. My friend will be trying to text his response to a group conversation and by the time he's done texting it, we are moved on 3 more subjects ahead of him. He is easily frustrated by it, and feels left out - He often says he's going crazy in his own head by not being able to get his thoughts out. </span></span></span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: small;" class="mycode_size"><span style="color: #222222;" class="mycode_color"><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;" class="mycode_font">The normal "voice replacement", is a small plastic tube inserted between the trachea and the esophagus. A Laryngectomee wears a plastic sticker which holds a filter over their neck hole (the neck hole is called a Stoma). They then can push on this filter and it pushes air through the small plastic device, allowing them to ultimately "burp speak". It works well for most, however, the plastic piece has to have daily care, and has to be replaced in the Dr's office, every 3-6 weeks. It's a lot of maintenance, but it's also a lot of concern if it fails or starts leaking. As well as highly inconvenient because it requires one hand to be pushing on the filter in order to be able to speak. </span></span></span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: small;" class="mycode_size"><span style="color: #222222;" class="mycode_color"><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;" class="mycode_font">My friend was excited to find a possible replacement to this spendy and timely upkeep with a company called UltraVoice. They offer a retainer product that allows the recreation of speech. He paid &#36;5,500 for the equipment, had to work with a dentist to have the "retainer" portion made, then had to have it fitted after it was made, then back to the company to get the electronics put in and then back to him finally. It took a couple of months for the complete process. </span></span></span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: small;" class="mycode_size"><span style="color: #222222;" class="mycode_color"><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;" class="mycode_font">He just got it and he was SO EXCITED that he was going to get to speak again after 8 months of being without a voice. But the equipment (&amp; the marketing materials) all look like they're right out of 1986. Cheap plastic and the retainer is so large, it hurts his mouth and he looks like a chipmunk with it in. It does seem to work, he can speak and form words - however, they sound very robotic; not human at all; which truly has broken his spirit all over again. Additionally, there is a battery pack, and no matter where he puts it there is a large amount of reverb, so he can't turn the device up and he's barely audible. There's a microphone with it which is supposed to help amplify his voice, but it doesn't seem to help.</span></span></span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: small;" class="mycode_size"><span style="color: #222222;" class="mycode_color"><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;" class="mycode_font">The medical industry is an interesting profit maker. If you have breast cancer, medicare will pay for breast reconstructive surgery for you to feel "normal" again, but such a small number of laryngectomees, there doesn't seem to be enough money in the game to help them recover their missing voice; something that is actually extremely helpful in navigating life. Something that everyone needs to make a simple phone call to accomplish anything. </span></span></span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: small;" class="mycode_size"><span style="color: #222222;" class="mycode_color"><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;" class="mycode_font">My friend is a dump truck driver. Imagine trying to get excavators to work with him. It doesn't happen unless they stop their work to text him. He can't call to get things fixed at home. He can't call his Dr's office. He can't have a simple conversation at dinner out with friends. He can't tell those he loves that he loves them.</span></span></span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: small;" class="mycode_size"><span style="color: #222222;" class="mycode_color"><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;" class="mycode_font">I'm reaching out, Elon, because I think you're truly one of the most amazing men of our time. And I can't help but to think that your Neural AI and this UltraVoice, could EASILY be combined and refined to provide a simple, yet very effective device for these Laryngectomees. UltraVoice says that they are working on AI applications this year that would allow him to "choose his voice", but with the remedialness of the entire company, I feel my friend was taken advantage of and I fear no one at this company is working on any further science to elevate this product. I would hope that with true AI, videos of him speaking would allow for his God given voice to be replicated. While that is his dream, he would be happy just to be heard in a human aspect once again. He's so saddened to think he may just need to remain a mute the rest of his years. He will be 59 soon, so we hope it is many years! The cancer surgery was a huge success and he's in full remission with no chemo and only 3 radiation treatments. We feel he has a long life ahead of him! </span></span></span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: small;" class="mycode_size"><span style="color: #222222;" class="mycode_color"><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;" class="mycode_font">We both hope you can help Elon! </span></span></span><br />

Without it, his Squamous Cell Carcinoma, Stage 4, Moderately Differentiated tumor, which was contained to 2.5" of his left vocal cord, would have taken his life in a matter of weeks, possibly even days. </span></span></span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: small;" class="mycode_size"><span style="color: #222222;" class="mycode_color"><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;" class="mycode_font">His surgeon told him that approx 100,000/year have this surgery; a small portion of our population in the large scheme of things. In that small number, I have watched this group be left behind by the Medical Industry with remedial and inconvenient ways to "replace" their forever lost voice. </span></span></span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: small;" class="mycode_size"><span style="color: #222222;" class="mycode_color"><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;" class="mycode_font">Have you ever tried to not speak? I think our voice is one of the largest things we take for granted. We don't realize how fast conversation goes, until we can't participate in it. My friend will be trying to text his response to a group conversation and by the time he's done texting it, we are moved on 3 more subjects ahead of him. He is easily frustrated by it, and feels left out - He often says he's going crazy in his own head by not being able to get his thoughts out. </span></span></span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: small;" class="mycode_size"><span style="color: #222222;" class="mycode_color"><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;" class="mycode_font">The normal "voice replacement", is a small plastic tube inserted between the trachea and the esophagus. A Laryngectomee wears a plastic sticker which holds a filter over their neck hole (the neck hole is called a Stoma). They then can push on this filter and it pushes air through the small plastic device, allowing them to ultimately "burp speak". It works well for most, however, the plastic piece has to have daily care, and has to be replaced in the Dr's office, every 3-6 weeks. It's a lot of maintenance, but it's also a lot of concern if it fails or starts leaking. As well as highly inconvenient because it requires one hand to be pushing on the filter in order to be able to speak. </span></span></span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: small;" class="mycode_size"><span style="color: #222222;" class="mycode_color"><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;" class="mycode_font">My friend was excited to find a possible replacement to this spendy and timely upkeep with a company called UltraVoice. They offer a retainer product that allows the recreation of speech. He paid &#36;5,500 for the equipment, had to work with a dentist to have the "retainer" portion made, then had to have it fitted after it was made, then back to the company to get the electronics put in and then back to him finally. It took a couple of months for the complete process. </span></span></span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: small;" class="mycode_size"><span style="color: #222222;" class="mycode_color"><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;" class="mycode_font">He just got it and he was SO EXCITED that he was going to get to speak again after 8 months of being without a voice. But the equipment (&amp; the marketing materials) all look like they're right out of 1986. Cheap plastic and the retainer is so large, it hurts his mouth and he looks like a chipmunk with it in. It does seem to work, he can speak and form words - however, they sound very robotic; not human at all; which truly has broken his spirit all over again. Additionally, there is a battery pack, and no matter where he puts it there is a large amount of reverb, so he can't turn the device up and he's barely audible. There's a microphone with it which is supposed to help amplify his voice, but it doesn't seem to help.</span></span></span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: small;" class="mycode_size"><span style="color: #222222;" class="mycode_color"><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;" class="mycode_font">The medical industry is an interesting profit maker. If you have breast cancer, medicare will pay for breast reconstructive surgery for you to feel "normal" again, but such a small number of laryngectomees, there doesn't seem to be enough money in the game to help them recover their missing voice; something that is actually extremely helpful in navigating life. Something that everyone needs to make a simple phone call to accomplish anything. </span></span></span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: small;" class="mycode_size"><span style="color: #222222;" class="mycode_color"><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;" class="mycode_font">My friend is a dump truck driver. Imagine trying to get excavators to work with him. It doesn't happen unless they stop their work to text him. He can't call to get things fixed at home. He can't call his Dr's office. He can't have a simple conversation at dinner out with friends. He can't tell those he loves that he loves them.</span></span></span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: small;" class="mycode_size"><span style="color: #222222;" class="mycode_color"><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;" class="mycode_font">I'm reaching out, Elon, because I think you're truly one of the most amazing men of our time. And I can't help but to think that your Neural AI and this UltraVoice, could EASILY be combined and refined to provide a simple, yet very effective device for these Laryngectomees. UltraVoice says that they are working on AI applications this year that would allow him to "choose his voice", but with the remedialness of the entire company, I feel my friend was taken advantage of and I fear no one at this company is working on any further science to elevate this product. I would hope that with true AI, videos of him speaking would allow for his God given voice to be replicated. While that is his dream, he would be happy just to be heard in a human aspect once again. He's so saddened to think he may just need to remain a mute the rest of his years. He will be 59 soon, so we hope it is many years! The cancer surgery was a huge success and he's in full remission with no chemo and only 3 radiation treatments. We feel he has a long life ahead of him! </span></span></span><br />

<span style="font-size: small;" class="mycode_size"><span style="color: #222222;" class="mycode_color"><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;" class="mycode_font">We both hope you can help Elon! </span></span></span><br />
