“Very science has for its basis a system of principles as fixed and unalterable as those by which the universe is regulated and governed. Man cannot make principles; he can only discover them.”
From “The Age of Reason, Part One”, by Thomas Paine, 1794
A hard copy of “Trout” is attached for members of my free mailing list.
Today’s breakthrough is a shit-ton of statistically-identical growth rates across all trout species, down through time…
That, and the fact that, in 2013, the growth rate of the brown trout increased exponentially, going forward in time.
That’s significant in that, within the last couple of days, we learned that, In 2011 and 2012, the world record bluefin tuna, the North Carolina state record bluefin tuna and the Washington state record bluefin tuna all began increasing hyper-exponentially in size almost simultaneously.

From “Positive Changes That Are Occurring”, by Jeff Miller, Libertyville, Illinois, November 16, 2022
Great positive changes are underway at every level of our reality. They began in earnest in 2012, and have been increasing in speed and magnitude. I began writing this series of articles, entitled “Positive Changes That Are Occurring”, in July of 2013.
These historically-unprecedented positive changes are being driven by many hundreds of thousands, if not millions of simple, inexpensive Orgonite devices based on the work of Wilhelm Reich and Karl Hans Welz.
Since Don Croft first fabricated tactical Orgonite in 2000, its widespread, ongoing and ever-increasing distribution has been unknitting and transforming the ancient Death energy matrix built and expanded by our dark masters, well, all the way back to Babylon, and before. And, as a result, the Ether is returning to its natural state of health and vitality.
One of those changes is that trout are growing to unprecedented size and number, regardless of geography.
That’s because the size, fertility and longevity of any organism vary directly with the health of its etheric environment.

BROWN TROUT
The current Missouri state record brown trout, from 2019, weighed 40 pounds, 6 ounces, and is 17% larger than the previous 34-pound, 10-ounce record holder from 1997.
[image]
(Missouri state record brown trout from 2019, 17% larger, or half again larger than the previous record holder from 1997. Such records are usually broken by tiny margins)
The author provided the weights of the old and new records, but carefully hedged by omitting the percentage increases between them. That’s an example of the propaganda technique known as “compartmentalization”. So, I had to do the math. Such records are usually broken by tiny margins. Here the record stood for over twenty years and then was suddenly broken by a huge, historically-unprecedented margin.
From 1987 to 2019, the Missouri state record brown trout increased in size by 17%, from 34 pounds, 10 ounces to 40 pounds, 6 ounces.
From 1987 to 2019, the average annual increase in size of the brown trout in Missouri was .53%.
In 2019, the Missouri state record brown trout increased in size by 17%.
In July 2021, forthewin.com said “World-record brown trout caught from canal, a known buffet for fish”.
Can you see how “world-record brown trout” is general? As you may recall, generality is a hallmark of propaganda. Since sixty to seventy percent of readers only read the headlines, this hedging generality goes a long way toward “compartmentalizing” awareness of the scope of the positive change I’m documenting here.
“A known buffet for fish” plays like it’s a special spot, which, to a point, it obviously is. But there’s no mention of fish records being set regardless of culture or geography, which makes it a clear example of the propaganda technique known as “compartmentalization”.

(Seamus from Turgani, New Zealand with world record brown trout, July 2021)
The article continues: “The angler, who asked to be known only as Seamus from Turgani, caught the 44-pound, 5-ounce brown trout last fall from a fishery known to produce large trout and salmon, and it recently became an official world record, as reported by Field and Stream. Of more intrigue is the location of the catch, listed as the Ohau Canal in Twizel, New Zealand, the same place as the previous record catch, a 42-pound, 1-ounce brown trout caught by Otwin Kandolf in 2013.”
I’m sure you noticed that, while the author provided the weights of the new and old record holders, they carefully omitted the far more impactful percentage increase between them. So, I had to do the math.
From 2013 to 2021, the world record brown trout increased in size by 5%, from 42 pounds (New Zealand), 1 ounce to 44 pounds, 5 ounces (New Zealand).
From 2013 to 2021, the average annual increase in size of the world record brown trout was .6%.
In 2021, the world record brown trout increased in size by 5%.
I had to research a second article, from trouster.com, from August 2013, to learn “In March of 2013 there was a monster brown trout caught in New Zealand, this giant weighed in at 42 pounds 1 oz, crushing the previous record by almost a full pound!” I’m guessing you noticed how “by almost a full pound” is general.
In August 2013, Montana Outdoor said “On Saturday, July 27, Jack Vitek, record-keeper with the IGFA, said the agency approved Kandolf’s fish as the new all-tackle world record. It beats out Roger Hellen’s Lake Michigan brownie caught in 2010, which weighed 41 lbs., 8 ounces.”
From 2010 to 2013, the world record brown trout increased in size by 1.3%, from 41 pounds, 8 ounces (Lake Michigan) to 42 pounds, 1 ounce (New Zealand).
From 2010 to 2013, the average annual increase in size of the world record brown trout was .43%.
In 2013, the world record brown trout increased in size by 1.3%.
The world record brown trout from August 2013 weighed 42 pounds, 1 ounce, and was 1.3% larger than the previous 41-pound, 8-ounce record holder from 2010.
We’ve just learned that the growth rate of the world record brown trout is increasing, going forward in time. That’s not supposed to be scientifically possible.
In February 2010, fishingwithjd.com said “The Story of the World Record Brown Trout”.
Can you see how “world-record brown trout” is general? As you may recall, generality is a hallmark of propaganda. Since sixty to seventy percent of readers only read the headlines, this hedging generality goes a long way toward “compartmentalizing” awareness of the scope of the positive change I’m documenting here.
The article continues: “As you all know by now, a new all-tackle world record brown trout was taken in Michigan’s Manistee River in September. The 41-pound, 7-ounce monster was hooked by Tom Healy of Rockford, Michigan and eclipsed the previous mark by nearly a pound and a half.”
(The record was broken twice in 2010, at 41 pounds, 7 ounces and 41 pounds, 8 ounces. I’m going to use the second record, 41 pounds, 8 ounces, for the purposes of this article - ed)
The author used the word “eclipsed” to describe the margin between the records, which falsely infers that one was just larger than the other. It’s also a thinly veiled reference to the Atonist Black Sun cult that’s ruled things in all the nations, well, all the way back to Babylon, and before. Eclipses are when their human sacrifices are felt to be most effective from an energetic perspective.
I had to look up yet another story, from ESPN from February 2010 to learn “By a pound and three ounces, Healy, of Rockford, Mich., eclipsed the 17-year-old brown trout (Salmo trutta) world record with a 41-pound, 7-ounce fish pulled out of Michigan’s Manistee River, on Sept. 9, 2009. The IGFA record he beat was a 40-4 brown pulled from Arkansas’ Little Red River in May 9, 1992 by Howard Collins.
From 1992 to 2009, the IGFA world record brown trout increased in size by 2.9%, from 40 pounds, 4 ounces (Arkansas) to 41 pounds, 7 ounces.
From 1992 to 2009, the IGFA world record brown trout increased in size by an average of .17%.
Just as in the previous example from fishingwithjd.com, the author from ESPN also used the word “eclipsed” to describe the margin between the records, which falsely infers that one was just larger than the other. It’s also a thinly veiled reference to the Atonist Black Sun cult that’s ruled things in all the nations, well, all the way back to Babylon, and before. Eclipses are when their human sacrifices are felt to be most effective from an energetic perspective.
For any lingering Coincidence Theorists in the readership, I would note that it’s not a direct lift of the sentence from one story to another, but rather sequential insertions of the same code word, for the same purposes. It’s proof that there is, wait for it, a Great Big Conspiracy.
The current IFGA world record brown trout, from July 2021, weighed 44 pounds, 5 ounces, and was 6.4% larger than a previous 40-pound, 4-ounce record holder from 1992. That’s an average annual increase in size of .22% per year over each of those 29 years.
The IFGA world record brown trout from February 2010 weighed 41 pounds, 7 ounces, and was 3% larger than the previous 40-pound, 4-ounce record holder from May 1992. You may have noticed that the author used the general hedge “by a pound and three ounces” in place of the far more impactful percentage increase between the records. So, I had to do the math.
3% is an annual average increase in size .16% per year over each of those 18 years. That’s 27% below the baseline.
Wait, what? That’s not supposed to be scientifically possible. The earliest data in the set should be the one the highest above the baseline, given that organisms will grow in smaller and smaller increments as they as get closer and closer to their genetically-programmed maximum size…or so goes the rapidly collapsing orthodoxy of mean-spirited Western materialism, which holds that “there’s no such thing as the ether”.
From 1992 to 2021, the world record brown trout increased in size by 6.4%, from 40 pounds, 4 ounces (Arkansas) to 44 pounds, 5 ounces (New Zealand?).
From 1992 to 2021, the average annual increase in size of the world record brown trout was .22%.
From 1992 to 2010, the IFGA world record brown trout increased in size by 3%, from 40 pounds, 4 ounces (Arkansas) to 41 pounds, 7 ounces (Lake Michigan).
From 1992 to 2010, the average annual increase in size of the world record brown trout was .16%.
The IFGA world record brown trout from 2013 weighed 42 pounds, 1 ounce, and was 1.5% larger than the previous 41-pound, 7-ounce record holder from 2010. That’s an average annual increase in size of .5% per year over each of those three years. That’s 127% above, or well more than double the baseline average annual increase in size of .22% documented from 1992 to 2021.
The average annual growth rate of the IFGA world record brown trout increased 212% from 2010 to 2013, or more than tripled, as compared to 1992 to 2010 (.16% to .5%).
The average annual growth rate of the IFGA world record brown trout increased 32% from 2013 to 2021, as compared to 2010 to 2013 (.5% to .66%).
The growth rate of the IFGA world record brown trout has suddenly well more than doubled from 2010 to 2013, compared to the rate of growth seen from 1992 to 2021. That’s not supposed to be scientifically possible, according to the orthodoxy that organisms will grow in smaller and smaller increments as they as get closer and closer to their genetically-programmed maximum size.
The current IFGA world record brown trout, from July 2021, weighed 44 pounds, 5 ounces, and was 5.3% larger than the previous 42-pound, 1-ounce record holder from 2013. That’s an average annual increase in size of .66% per year over each of those eight years. That’s 200% above, or triple the baseline average annual increase in size of .22% per year documented from 1992 to 2021.
The IFGA world record brown trout is increasing exponentially in size, going forward in time. That’s not supposed to be scientifically possible, according to the orthodoxy that holds that organisms grow to a genetically-programmed maximum size, and no larger.
The key fact being that said Orthodoxy omits the fact that the size, longevity and fertility of any organism vary directly with the health of its etheric environment.
In March 2021, West Dakota Fox said “Montana angler shatters 55-year state record with brown trout catch”.
Can you see how “Montana angler: and “shatters 55-year state record” are both general? ” As you may recall, generality is a hallmark of propaganda. Since sixty to seventy percent of readers only read the headlines, this hedging generality goes a long way toward “compartmentalizing” awareness of the scope of the positive change I’m documenting here.
The article goes on to say “She told me the state record is from 1966, and it was 29 pounds,” he said. “Well yeah that’s cool, but what is the state record now? She’s like ‘that is the state record dad’.”

The fish came up to 32 pounds 6 ounces. It was 37 inches long with a 28.5-inch girth.”
The author provided the weights of the old and new records, but carefully hedged by omitting the far more impactful percentage increase between them. That’s an example of the propaganda technique known as “compartmentalization”. So, I had to do the math to learn that, from 1966 to 2021, the Montana state record brown trout increased in size by 11.6%, from 29 pounds to 32 pounds, 6 ounces.
From 1966 to 2021, the average annual increase in size of the Montana state record brown trout was .21%.
In 2021, the Montana state record brown trout increased in size by 11.6%.
Such records are usually broken by tiny margins. Here, the record stood for over fifty years, and then was suddenly broken by an exponential margin.

From 2005 to 2019, the average annual increase in size of the Missouri state record brown trout was 1.4%.
In 2019, the Missouri state record brown trout increased in size by 19.7%.
The brown trout in Missouri is a fifth larger in just over a decade? What gives? Such records are usually broken by tiny margins, as organisms get closer and closer to their genetically-programmed maximum size…or so goes the rapidly collapsing orthodoxy of mean-spirited Western materialism, which holds that “there’s no such thing as the ether.”
The Missouri state record brown trout from 2009 weighed 28 pounds, 12.8 ounces, and was 3.5% larger than the previous 27-pound, 12.8-ounce record holder from 2005.
That’s an average annual increase in size of .86% over each of those four years. That’s 63% below the baseline.
Wait, what? That’s not scientifically possible. The earliest data in the set should be the one the highest above the baseline, given that organisms will grow in smaller and smaller increments as they as get closer and closer to their genetically-programmed maximum size…or so goes the rapidly collapsing orthodoxy of mean-spirited Western materialism, which holds that “there’s no such thing as the ether”.
From 2009 to 2019, the Missouri state record brown trout increased in size by 20.2%, from 28 pounds, 12.8 ounces to 34 pounds, 10 ounces.
From 2009 to 2019, the average annual increase in size of the Missouri state record brown trout was 2%.
The growth rate of the Missouri state record brown trout is increasing exponentially, going forward in time.
That’s because the size, fertility and longevity of any organism varies directly with the health of its etheric environment.
CUTTHROAT TROUT
From 1985 to 2018, the Arkansas state record cutthroat trout increased in size by 5.8%, from 9 pounds, 9 ounces to 10 pounds, 2 ounces.
From 1985 to 2018, the average annual increase in size of the cutthroat trout in Arkansas was .17%.

In March 2014, a world record Lake Trout was caught on Lake Ontario. It weighed 52 pounds, 3 ounces, and was 30% larger than the previous world record holder, caught on Clearwater West Lake, Ontario, Canada, in 1987. That fish weighed 40 pounds.

“But provincial conservation officers have now seized his prize as evidence, and the fisherman may face wildlife charges.”
“Stripping of records on technicalities to try to keep a lid on this phenomenon” represents a trackable subset of the information I’ve been collecting over the last seven years, and could easily be collected into a sub-chapter, which I may get to some day.
The folks in charge in Ontario are desperate to keep the suddenly one-third larger Lake Trout out of the record books, and out of the public eye.
In September 2018, NYup.com said “DEC: Lake Ontario anglers seeing record catches of salmon, trout this year”.
Where “record” catches is general. The propagandist from NYup.com walked “anglers catching record numbers of salmon” back to “anglers seeing record catches of salmon”. Those anglers aren’t making those catches, but are rather only seeing them. That’s called “hedging”, or “walking it back”.
“Record catches of salmon, trout this year” is another hedge, implies that it’s exceptional, a one-off.
The article continues: Lake Ontario has been on fire this summer for trout and salmon fishing with record catches, according to the state Department of Environmental Conservation.”
Where “record catches of salmon, trout this year” has been walked back another step to “on fire this summer”. And where “record catches” is, once again, general.
The article continues: “According to the DEC: “Fishing success is measured by ‘catch rate,’ which is the number of fish caught per boat trip. The catch rate for all trout and salmon species combined surpassed the previous record high, more than 37 percent above the previous five-year average.”
The propagandist has used what is known in their trade as a “bait and switch”, letting you know that the carefully-unmentioned catch rate is 37% above the five-year average, but leaving the percentage of that catch rate above the previous record also carefully unmentioned.
In 2018, the catch rate for lake trout on Lake Ontario was 37% above the previous five-year average.
A lake trout caught on Lake Superior in 2019 was 45 ½ inches long with a 30 -and-an-eighth inch girth. If you plug those numbers into the fish calculator for lake trout it comes back at 51.6 pounds. That’s 18.6% larger than the 43-pound, 8-ounce Minnesota state record lake trout from 1955.
From 1955 to 2019, the Minnesota state record lake trout increased in size by 18.6%.
RAINBOW TROUT
The Maine state record rainbow trout from June 2017 weighed 13 pounds, 7 ounces, and was 60% larger than the previous 8.42 pound record holder. The article omits any other information on the previous record. That’s an example of a propaganda technique known as “compartmentalization”.

(The current Maine state-record rainbow trout, from 2017, suddenly 60% larger, or roughly two thirds larger than the previous record holder. Such records are usually broken by tiny margins)
The author provided the weights of the old and new records, but carefully hedged by omitting the percentage increase between them, replacing it with the general “more than five pounds larger”. That’s another example of the propaganda technique known as “compartmentalization”. As you may recall, generality is a hallmark of propaganda.
So, I had to do the math. Such records are usually broken by tiny margins. Here the record stood was broken by a gigantic, historically-unprecedented margin.
From some obfuscated date to 2017, the Maine state record rainbow trout increased in size by 60%, from 8.42 pounds to 13 pounds, 7 ounces.
In 2018, IGFA representative Meredith J. McCord caught and released a new world record rainbow trout at Strobel Lake in Montana that weighed 15 pounds, 11 ounces, “setting the women’s 6-pound tippet-class world record that was previously 4 pounds, 4 ounces.”
The author used the general “setting the record” as a hedge against providing a far more impactful, specific statistic. So, I had to do the math. The new world record rainbow trout, from 2018, is 65% larger than the previous record holder from some obfuscated prior date and location.
From some obfuscated date to 2018, the IGFA women’s 6-pound tippet-class world record rainbow trout increased in size by 65%, from 4 pounds, 4 ounces to 15 pounds, 11 ounces.
TIGER TROUT
The Idaho Tiger Trout state record was broken three times on Free Fishing Day in June 2017. The record went from 17.5 inches to 17.6 inches to 18 inches to 19.5 inches. That’s an 11.4% increase.

Here the record was broken three times in one day by a very large margin.
In June 2017, the Idaho state record tiger trout increased in length by 11.4%, from 17.5 inches to 19.5 inches.
STEELHEAD TROUT
In November 2017, capradio said “Salmon And Steelhead Trout Migrating In Record Numbers”.
Can you see how “migrating in record numbers” is general? As you may recall, generality is a hallmark of propaganda. Since sixty to seventy percent of readers only read the headlines, this hedging generality goes a long way toward “compartmentalizing” awareness of the scope of the positive change I’m documenting here.
In 2017, steelhead trout were migrating “in record numbers”.
