"I like the scientific spirit—the holding off, the being sure but not too sure, the willingness to surrender ideas when the evidence is against them: this is ultimately fine—it always keeps the way beyond open—always gives life, thought, affection, the whole man, a chance to try over again after a mistake—after a wrong guess.”
― Walt Whitman, Walt Whitman’s Camden Conversations, 1895
In many previous articles, I’ve shown that the primary driver of the size of any organism is the relative health of its energetic or Etheric environment.
Recently, I began researching longevity. This is my third or fourth foray into the subject, and I’m pleased to announce that I’ve also now proven that the primary driver of the longevity of any organism is the relative health of its energetic or Etheric environment.
I’ve included numerous news accounts below showing that the Orgonite-driven return to health of the energetic or Etheric environment that we collectively inhabit is driving record longevity, regardless of geography.
There’s an international news blackout in place on the subject, whose repetitive tactics and techniques I’ve broken out within the reportage.
For example, we know that the words " mystery ", " baffled " and " puzzled " are memes, used, among numerous similar variants, whenever anyone in the wholly-controlled-and-coopted Political, Academic, Scientific and Media establishments wants to lie about, well, basically anything.
Which is why a news account that I’ve appended below, about the world’s oldest Koi fish, reads “An event that has baffled the whole world for years, the two biggest factors that people believe caused her to thrive for more than two centuries are the love and care of her owners and clear waters of the Japanese mountains .”
As you’ll see, there’s a lot of tap dancing and smoke blowing in the article in regard to the previous record holder:
" Interestingly , the other breeds of koi fish that were friends with Hanako also lived for longer periods, such as Aoi, who lived for 170 years, and the white-colored Yuki, who died after swimming in the same pond for 141 years."
Please note that there are no dates provided on any of the records. If we use 170 years as the previous record holder, the new record is 33% above the old . Such records are usually broken by tiny margins, as the organism gets closer and closer to its maximum possible age.
In addition to " mystery ", " baffled " and " puzzled ", other variant memes include " terrific ", " amazing " and " interesting ".
That’s why, in another story below, about the longest-lived red-tailed hawk, a raptor biologist from Ohio tersely says “ Very interesting .”
While the president of the American Bird Conservancy says "What a terrific story, –truly amazing .”
Terrific | Definition of Terrific at Dictionary.com
adjective. extraordinarily great or intense: terrific speed. extremely good; wonderful: a terrific vacation. causing terror; terrifying .
Terror - noun
extreme fear .
“people fled in terror”
“The president of the American Bird Conservancy experienced extreme fear that the confidence game he was in on was collapsing.”
And so we’ve seen two different bird authorities, using identical propaganda tactics.
Another story below, from 2019, is headlined “German sloth sets record as world’s oldest .”
You can’t tell how old the sloth is from the headline, because the author hedged by “burying” it in the article below. Paula the sloth is 50.
In the article, Jutta Heuer, a curator at the zoo and an authority on sloths in Europe, says " There is no known specimen in a zoo or in the wild that has clocked up more years , " Heuer said.
" Clocked up more years ", as if it were a gymnastic or athletic effort on the part of that particular sloth. That’s a hedge against the plainspoken “has lived longer.”
According to Heuer, in the wild, the typical lifespan for two-toed sloths is around 20 years; in captivity, that increases to 30–40 years.
The quoted wildlife expert has tersely declared it the oldest, then hedged by omitting any mention of what the previous record was, or when it was set, instead providing only generalities. As you may recall, generality is a hallmark of propaganda, and frowned upon by science.
If we use 40 as the previous age record, the new record is 25% above the old . Such records are usually broken by tiny margins, as the organism gets closer and closer to its maximum possible size.
There’s no mention in the article as to what might have driven the quantum, historically-unprecedented increase in age.
Another current story below is headlined “Florida Man Catches Oldest Grouper Fish On Record . Here’s How Old It Was”
You can’t tell how old it is from the headline, because the author hedged by burying it in the article below. The grouper was 50.
" The fish is the oldest sample collected for our ageing program ," the Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission (FWC) Research Institute said Friday in a Facebook post
They’ve tersely declared it the oldest, then omitted any mention of what the previous record was, or when it was set.
There’s no mention in the article as to what might have driven the quantum, historically-unprecedented increase in age.
And so we’ve reviewed two different fish longevity records, and seen two different fish reporters and two different fish authorities, all using identical propaganda tactics.
Another story below is headlined "200-year-old Rockfish: Alaska Fish Could Be Oldest Creature Ever Caught "
In it, Troy Tydingco of the Alaska Department of Fish and Game says “That fish was 32-and-a-half inches long, where Henry’s was almost 41 inches, so his could be substantially older.”
As you read, you’ll notice how Troy didn’t mention when the previous record was set. He also used the general hedge " could be substantially older", and omitted the percentage increase between the records. So I had to do the math. It’s 14% above the previous longevity record. Such records are usually broken by tiny margins, as the organism gets closer and closer to its maximum possible age.
As a Scientist, it’s significant to note that Troy used the inexact " almost 41 inches" to further cloud inquiry. If we use 40.9, the new Rockfish length record is 26% longer than the previous record holder. The author hedged by saying " by more than 8 inches ", and didn’t do that math for us, either. He’s being cagey because such records are usually broken by tiny margins, as the organism gets closer and closer to its maximum possible length.
There’s no mention in the article as to what might have driven the quantum, historically-unprecedented increase in age.
Another article below, from 2014, is headlined "Oldest fish on record caught off Albany "
Where, under the false guise of familiarity, the author has hedged by omitting the type of fish, the name of the state, and the age of the fish.
The article tells us that “The 84-year-old female Bight redfish (Centroberyx gerrardi), caught in November 2013, surpassed the state’s previous record of 78 years, held jointly by the Western foxfish (Bodianus frenchii) and bass groper (Polyprion americanus).”
The author has used the terse, hedging generality " surpasses " to describe an unstated 8% increase , and also carefully omitted mention of when the previous record was set.
Such records are usually broken by tiny margins, as the organism gets closer and closer to it’s maximum possible age.
Another story below is headlined “Bald Eagle Death Yields New Lifespan Record for America’s National Animal”
In it, the author provides the ages of the old and new record holders, but hedged by using the general " by five years ", and refused to do the math. It’s a 15% increase . Such records are usually broken by tiny margins, as the organism gets closer and closer to it’s maximum possible age. The author hedged again by omitting the date of the previous record.
There’s no mention in the article as to what might have driven the quantum, historically-unprecedented increase in age.
Another story below is headlined “112-year-old fish has broken a longevity record”
In it, the author provides the ages of the old and new record holders, but hedged by using the general " by more than fourfold ", and refused to do the math. It’s a 330% increase. Such records are usually broken by tiny margins, as the organism gets closer and closer to it’s maximum possible age. The author hedged again by omitting the date of the previous record. They also omitted the name of the fish (the bigmouth buffalo) from the headline.
There’s no mention in the article as to what might have driven the quantum, historically-unprecedented increase in age.
Bolstering my thesis that a general, Orgonite-driven improvement in the Earth’s energetic or Etheric environment is leading to longer lifespans of organisms within that environment, another article below, headlined “Recurrent evolution of extreme longevity in bats”, tells us that “50% of the bat longevity records are new or updated.”
The size and longevity of any organism is directly connected to the relative health of the energetic or Etheric environment which that organism inhabits.

June 2002 - The Naked Mole Rat–A New Record for the Oldest Living Rodent
We report a new record for the world’s longest-lived rodent, a male naked mole rat (Heterocephalus glaber). On the basis of his weight at capture, this animal was approximately 1 year old when collected near Mtito Andei, Kenya in July/August 1974. He died in April 2002, indicating that he lived for more than 28 years. As such, his life-span surpassed the previous longevity record for a rodent, which was held by a porcupine (Hystrix brachyura) that lived for 27 years and 4 months.

December 21, 2010 - Possible New Record ? - Oldest Duck Band Return
let’s call it a yarn at this point, but one that I was told directly by the hunter.
While I was up on PEI, I paid a visit and to share some Ale with an ol’ salty dawg/ goose killer. (he’s old school; seaweed dekes for black ducks, handmade stuffers for geese and they wax pluck everything they shoot).
so during the visit he starts to tell me about getting a phone call from the USFW (actually USGS/BBL, I’d say) earlier in the fall about a band recovery he submitted. Apparently, he could have shot the oldest duck ever recorded (28yrs).
She asked him to send in the band for their verification, so we’ll have to see what comes of it .
Let’s keep it as a yarn for now , because I find it hard to believe that you could even read a 28yr old band at all . (said it was difficult to make it out even with magnification) and I’m assuming he messed up some numbers ( did I say he likes a wee nip now and then? )
I guess we’ll see once the BBL is done with their inspection!
(The agent, whose cover is “forum fish expert”, does a lot of downplaying and naysaying, and then uses an a d hominem personal attack on the person making the claim. And makes no mention of what the previous record was, or when it was set. - ed)
November 4, 2011 - WSU home to oldest red-tailed hawk on record
PULLMAN, Wash. – The planet’s most famous red-tailed hawk is Pale Male of New York City, whose home is a ledge on a posh high-rise overlooking Central Park where a “Hawk Cam” entertains his adoring fans.
But make way for Charlie, a red-tailed hawk whose home is Washington State University.
Charlie may not have a fashionable perch or books and a documentary film made about him. But Charlie – who lives at WSU’s Carver Raptor Facility – deserves celebrity status for being one tough old bird. At age 30, he has lived longer than any red-tailed hawk on record.
And he’s healthy to boot.
News of Charlie’s age has been trickling out among bird experts around the country.
“What a terrific story – truly amazing ,” said George Fenwick, president of the American Bird Conservancy in Plains, Va.
“ Very interesting ,” responded John Blakeman, a raptor biologist from Ohio who said he plans to write about Charlie’s achievement in a comprehensive book about raptors.
The average life span for a red-tail in the wild is 10-15 years – for those in captivity, 20 years – according to research. The oldest recorded red-tailed hawk died at 30.8 years last February in Michigan, according to “Longevity Records of North American Birds,” compiled by the U.S. Geological Survey’s Patuxent Wildlife Research Center in Maryland.
With Charlie still alive and healthy at 30.9 years, he appears to have broken the posted record, said ecology biologist Charles Preston, a leading expert on red-tailed hawks in Cody, Wyo., who wrote “Wild Bird Guides: Red-tailed Hawk.” (Stackpole Books, 2000)
July 3 ,2013 - 200-year-old Rockfish: Alaska Fish Could Be Oldest Creature Ever Caught
A 200-year-old rockfish ? Experts believe a Seattle insurance adjuster hauled in just that on a fishing trip in Alaska, and it could be the oldest fish ever found.
Henry Liebman reeled in the 39.09-pound rockfish on June 21 from a depth of about 900 feet. At 41 inches, it’s the longest rockfish ever caught by more than eight inches , and could be the oldest, according to The Daily Sitka Sentinel.
“I knew it was abnormally big [but I] didn’t know it was a record until on the way back we looked in the Alaska guide book that was on the boat,” Liebman told the Sentinel of the 200-year-old catch.
Liebman transported the fish to Seattle and plans to have the geriatric creature mounted. A sample was sent to a lab in Juneau, Alaska, to help determine the age, the paper said. Scientists can estimate that by studying growth rings contained in an ear bone, similar to the age rings found in a tree trunk.
Supposedly born during the James Madison Administration, the rockfish predates the 1867 purchase of Alaska from Russia. It was hatched 10 years after the Louisiana Purchase, and 47 years after the U.S. Declaration of Independence.
While it may be the oldest, the fish is far from the largest ever caught. Fisherman Ken Fraser holds that record after snaring a 1,496-pound Bluefin tuna in 1979.
Rockfish live at depths ranging between 84 feet to nearly 4,000 feet. Liebman told the Sentinel he was fishing 10 miles out.
Troy Tydingco of the Alaska Department of Fish and Game told the Sentinel that the oldest record for the shortraker rockfish — scientifically known as the Sebastes borealis — is 175 years.
“That fish was 32-and-a-half inches long, where Henry’s was almost 41 inches, so his could be substantially older,” Tydingco told the paper.
December 15, 2014 - Oldest fish on record caught off Albany
The record-breaking fish was a bottom-dwelling Bight redfish, like this one.
Commercial fisherman Tony Little caught WA’s oldest fish on record in the deep waters of Two People’s Canyon, off the coast of Albany.
The 84-year-old female Bight redfish (Centroberyx gerrardi), caught in November 2013, surpassed the state’s previous record of 78 years, held jointly by the Western foxfish (Bodianus frenchii) and bass groper (Polyprion americanus).
June 6, 2015 - Bald Eagle Death Yields New Lifespan Record for America’s National Animal
On June 2, a dead bald eagle was discovered along a road in Henrietta, Monroe County, New York. It had just killed a rabbit when it was apparently hit by a car. Collisions like these cause nearly a third of known eagle deaths in the state. According to the band on the male’s leg, he was 38 years old, and he now holds the country’s record for the oldest bald eagle ever encountered, the New York State Department of Environmental Conservation announced in a statement this week. It broke the previous longevity record by five years .

August 2, 2019 - 112-year-old fish has broken a longevity record
SCIENTISTS JUST ADDED a large, sucker-mouthed fish to the growing list of centenarian animals that will likely outlive you and me.
A new study using bomb radiocarbon dating describes a bigmouth buffalo that lived to a whopping 112 years, crushing the previous known maximum age for the species—26— by more than fourfold .
That makes the bigmouth buffalo, which is native to North America and capable of reaching nearly 80 pounds, the oldest age-validated freshwater bony fish—a group that comprises roughly 12,000 species.
October 15, 2019 - German sloth sets record as world’s oldest
Paula, who lives in a German zoo, set a new record as the world’s oldest known two-toed sloth. She was entered for the title ahead of World Sloth Day on October 20.
A sloth, Paula, hangs from a branch in a zoo as a man takes a photograph of her
A 50-year-old sloth in a German zoo world has slept her way into the Guinness Book of Records as the oldest known sloth alive.
Paula’s title was confirmed on Tuesday, said Jutta Heuer, a curator at the zoo and an authority on sloths in Europe.
The two-toed sloth arrived at Bergzoo in Halle in 1971 and celebrated her 50th birthday at the zoo in June.

She was estimated to have been at least 2 years old when she arrived from South America, via the UK.
For more than 20 years, zoo staff thought that Paula was male. They only discovered she was female in 1995 following an ultrasound scan, according to Guinness World Records.
“There is no known specimen in a zoo or in the wild that has clocked up more years,” Heuer said.
According to Heuer, there were a total of 65 sloths in German zoos and 266 in the whole of Europe as of the end of 2018.
In the wild, the typical lifespan for two-toed sloths is around 20 years; in captivity, that increases to 30–40 years.

You never know what you’ll get when you go fishing in Florida. You might accidentally catch an alligator, a snake – or, for one man, the oldest grouper on record.
Researchers estimate that the Warsaw grouper, caught in December, was 50 years old.
The fish is “the oldest sample collected for our ageing program,” the Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission (FWC) Research Institute said Friday in a Facebook post
