The Olive wood story...! part 2
Right people, the time has come to get the show on the road...!
I apologise for those with a genuine interest in the truth, for the slightly delay in providing the second part of the "Olive wood story..." (2). I have repeatable requested some extra time as I only realised that my first and original "Presentation" complete files, on this very same issue were lost from a unexpected major failure in one of my main computer hard-drives, a few months ago. I actually only realise that this large folder was gone after I started looking for it, at the beginning of this thread.
While some though that was a joke or a convenient way to get out of the "heat", I was in fact at loss to me with nearly 4 weeks of work gone...! This Presentation is not as complex as my previous one, that was made to be published but "they" decided not to publish it and nor pay me for my work but, that's another story...! ( A good sign of the powers "people in some places" and money behind the whole thing...!)
Anyway, I've spent most of the week searching my pics folders (many thousands of pics) for replacement pics and I endup finding some of the originals, others taken on other times and some new ones that I have to prepare for this Demonstration/Presentation.
I attempted to put it all in a slide-show type display but the maximum times allowed between pics was still too fast for pics with large legends so I decided to use my Photobucket account to create a dedicated Album for this Presentation, containing 72 pictures...!
The only thing you have to do to see it, is start from Picture #1 and click on its thumbnail added to this post (bellow). After opening/taken to my Photobucket Album, you simple click next when you are done with the pic showing, and so forth...! Be aware that 98% of the pics are mine, and all have a legend with some text written on it. Have a good read but have particularly a good look, is important that you can connect what you are seeing with what I'm saying, this allow you to have a better understanding of thoughts, experience and message.
Click "next" every time you want to go to the next pic, they are all numbered and in numerical order, their order as significance for the flow of the message I'm trying to share. Believe it, don't believe it, is all up to you, if what I'm sharing isn't enough and clear enough, nothing will...!
Why would I want to put myself constantly in this "difficult" situation some may ask, is evident that I have some unfinished business with this issue and unless a see some changes to correct my claim, I will continue to make this same claim over and over again. In a perfect world, people would be tanking me for exposing such scam, and to put myself in front of the "bull" all the time, instead I have made more enemies than what I would like but, in the end of the day, I know that I will doing a big favour to a lot of people, while others thing the opposite is true.
The fact that I have some Olive wood and I share most of it with anyone that is willing to pay a fair amount for it, has nothing to do with the claim I'm making. In reality, is the simple fact that I have had in my pass an extensive working experience with all aspects of the Olive Tree, as explained on part (I), and a continued passion for all woods including the one that was always very special to me, the Olive Tree that, I feel very strongly about this very wrong scam and those particularly target. Is BOW the only Olive wood in the world...??? absolutely not, does people know that there are many other places on hearth where one can get Olive wood...??? have you checked what is available in your own country...??? Can one get Olive wood with identical or even superior qualities/figure, etc..., locally or elsewhere...??? absolutely yes..! any reason why one wants to pay twice or more, for a piece of Olive wood, and continue "feeding" the scam...??? you tell me...!
What would happen if someone would start to flood the market with $1 high grade
Olive wood pen blanks...??? would you care then, if wasn't tagged as BOW and be supplied with a "certificate of authenticity"...??? would you buy them...???
I have tried to demonstrate here, for those that didn't know already by following my work for some years, in wood related forums, I'm very honourable to my word and I don't take kindly insinuations of dishonesty and misrepresentation of my actions, however I've learnt that the best way to keep safe is to have my friends close and my enemies closer...!
I have promised that, I would give you something and that is exactly what I'm doing. For those that feel that nothing of this have any value to them or that is not giving the answers they want, I'm sorry, this is all you are going to get.
According to some legal advice I requested, in regards to a couple of emails copies I added in this final Presentation, the value of the originals are not compromised or less valued in a Court of Law. Names and any other information omitted on those documents, will NOT be revealed to anyone here regardless, the only place where those and any other original evidence will ever be revealed to, will be to a judge in a Court case situation.
This will end my contribution to this thread, I've spent enough of my time with it for now, is time for you all to digest it and do with the information whatever you feel right, that will be yours and only decision...!
Thank you for your patience...!:wink::biggrin:
PS: Don't forget to have another look at those video links I gave you a few post back, in it you will see what the situation in Bethlehem is in regards to the olive trees, all larger trees being bulldozed and burnt in most cases and all the pics from the trees that have had all its tops cut off as a the most hurtful thing anyone could ever do to those people. You see the size of those trees and you can see also perfectly that they are so young that they have almost non-existent heartwood in them.
Another thing that has been playing with my head/mind is the possibility that some of the best Olive trees have been ripped off the ground and taken somewhere, you see actually some large trees without any branches chained to a building somewhere. I wonder what sort of deals where made with those that ripped them out, to keep all the wood and sell it as "blessed" "symbol of Peace" "sacred tree" and off-course BOW. I wonder what religious people would thing if they found out that the wood they are buying has come from these trees that represent everything the Olive tree shouldn't, revenge, cruelty, punishment, religious sacrilege, terror, and all the worse reasons/motives a human has created and justified to impose their race superiority among others...! I really wonder...!:frown:
Maybe something that I will look into, in the near future...!:wink:
Here is the Presentation starting point...! (double click on it!):biggrin:
