Pine Valley / Pine Rd. Philadelphia, PA 19115 USA - House of Orleans

https://preview.redd.it/zjch56hnw04d1.jpg?width=2550&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=98d0733797746125238fc27127d7857d2013550c
Wider than NYC, at 2.5 miles, built in the 1950's by the Royal Family.... This is a photo of my parents home. My mother's name is Arlene, and so also is the shape of the streets inside Philadelphia 19115. It also says, #Orleans if you switch the last two letters, the "NE" in Arlene to "AN" ...as in the #HouseofOrleans. It spans 2 miles, bigger than Central Park and wider than Manhattan, NYC. Starting at Pennypack Park on Pine Rd. at Kingsfield Rd and concluding at Red Line Road. My parents were the inaugural homeowners in the 1960s, the 1st owners.
Within this neighborhood, the streets are named after distinguished military figures from England, spanning various eras from the American Revolution to World War II. Streets like Lockart, Darlington, Welsh, and Clinton allude to espionage and historical military significance.
British Commander-in-Chief during the #Revolution Clinton Rd 19006 https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Henry_Clinton_(British_Army_officer,_born_1730))
Lockhart Rd & Place 19115 https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rob_Lockhart
Darlington Rd. 19115 https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ralph_Darling
Welsh Rd. 19115 https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/James_Welsh_(East_India_Company_officer)) - - or - - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hunt_Walsh
Grant Ave 19115 - There's Ulysses S. Grant, and then the British have 7 different British Military leaders named Grant: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Henry_Grant_(British_Army_officer)) https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/William_Keir_Grant https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lewis_Grant_(colonial_administrator)) https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Patrick_Grant https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hope_Grant https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Charles_Grant_(19th_century_British_Army_officer)) https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/James_Grant_(British_Army_officer,_born_1720))
Contrary to what one might assume, the street name is unrelated to Ulysses S. Grant and instead commemorates British military leaders.
In the 1950's Grant Ave. was named and mostly completed, as prior it had many different names. Frankford Ave. aka The King's Highway was built by #King George II from 1682 to the late 1790's. http://kingshighwayfilm.com - Those dates were all before The American #Revolution and Civil War, so regardless of the construction date of Grant Ave, I would still say the name Grant Ave. has absolutely nothing at all to do with Ulysses S. Grant.
We also have Portis Rd. which is a combination of 2 words = La Porte + Paris = Portis - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Arnaud_II_de_La_Porte - La Porte was named Intendant of the Civil List (Minister of the Royal Household) in December 1790 which gave him direct control of the large sums of #money that were considered the private wealth of the King of France and so not subject to public audit.
Across the street from my home is Durand Road. Durand was the name of the fake ID they gave to the King of France during the #French Revolution when the King of #France and his family tried to escape with Barron Batz. See p24 hosted on the University of Chicago's website: https://penelope.uchicago.edu/ThayeE/GazetteePlaces/Europe/France/_Texts/CROROY/Fuite_de_Varennes*.html - More on Barron Batz can be found in your local library, or here: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jean,_Baron_de_Batz - Keep in mind, Louis XVI's grandfather Louis XIV had 30 children.
When my parents moved in, the area was all farmlands. Directly across the street from us at 1855 Melmar Road 19006 was the country home of Nicholas Biddle w/ 33 Rooms, & 9 Bathrooms. Though, there was nothing in between us except empty fields, there house was about 1,000 feet away. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nicholas_Biddle - He was the President of the Second Bank of the United States. It is now called the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System. That's where everybody gets there monthly $600 social security checks from... and, there still located here very close to this zip code printing checks for the majority of #America. His original home is still there, but... In the 1980's, they turned his land into a development of multi-million dollar homes now called Biddle Estates.
His brother, married a #Falcone girl, https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/John_Biddle_(Michigan_politician)) and members of their family built Drexel University and also Lippincott Medicine, who are book publishers, and also the name of the next street across from me, Lippincott Rd. 19006.
A lot of the homes here go for over 1 million dollars. My house was right there in the middle, on Pine Road at the top the shape of the "L" that looks exactly like the Boston Red Sox logo. We're on the city line, so I'm inside #Philadelphia, but the homes on the other side of Pine are not. Were on very high elevation here. At the bottom of the hill is Huntingdon Valley aka Lower Moreland. Bryn Athyn, and #Hollywood, PA are at the top of the valley.
On the other side of the valley, at the top of that hill, is Abington, PA. Coincidently, also the same place based on the TV show, The Goldbergs.
Additionally, The Golden Girls which aired on NBC from September 14, 1985, to May 9, 1992 also talk about us in every episode, "Shady Pines" was the retirement home Rose burnt down... as in Shady Lane & Pine Rd located at Fox Chase Farm, and the World Headquarters for the Medical Mission Sisters, who bring justice and healing to women, children and men in 17 countries on five continents. Their 2nd office is in London. www.medicalmissionsisters.org They also speak frequently inside the United Nations.
Previously, that property belonged to the oldest home in Pennsylvania, the Ury House, & it was located here. Built in 1640 it frequented visitors such as: John Adams, Benjamin Franklin, Thomas Jefferson, and even George Washington slept here. The school located on the grounds, has now relocated as the Valley Forge Military Academy. https://hiddencityphila.org/2017/10/ury-house-demo-in-the-1970s-erased-oldest-home-in-pa
In addition, one of the 4 main actresses in the show, Blanch Devereaux, coincidently the United States DoD - Department of Defense is located on Devereaux St & Oxford Ave, about 10 minutes from here, as Pine Road changes names to Oxford Ave & Rising Sun Ave at a 5 points. This DoD site encompasses over 134 acres, in which its warehouse offices and other buildings amount to 2,250,000 square feet.
The rap group N.W.A Music w/ Dr Dre sings about us in a lot of songs, in "Straight out of Compton" They say, "Until them dumb motherf*ckers see clearly, that I'm down with the Capital C-P-T" ...and, at the same time in the video, they keep showing a picture of map with areas marked out in red marker. (That's C-P-T as in #Capet, as in Louis Capet XVI) https://youtu.be/TMZi25Pq3T8?t=62
There's a lot going on here, too much for me to type on Facebook.
ABC daytime soap opera "All My Children" with Kelly Ripa, which aired January 5, 1970, to September 23, 2011, is based in "Pine Valley" PA, a suburb of Philadelphia, the same name as my neighborhood, but in the soap opera, they are actually located on the other side of Philadelphia. https://www.soapoperanetwork.com/2021/01/all-my-children-reboot-pine-valley-abc-kane-santos-family
Get it? "All My Children" as how Louis XIV had 30 children.
In 2023, the TV series "Pine Valley" aired as a prime time spin-off of the daytime drama soap opera “All My Children.” Their description reads as, "Set in a fictional Philadelphia suburb called Pine Valley, it delves into the dark and murderous history of the town." It also starred the same cast, Kelly Rippa & Susan Lucci again from "All My Children." https://www.imdb.com/title/tt13561428
Unrelated, but the first 10 years of "All My Children" ...The original recordings from the 1970's were destroyed in a fire.
The highest elevation inside #Paris & oldest Military Base in #Paris is Montfaucon - https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gibbet_of_Montfaucon now called the Parc des Buttes Chaumont - https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Parc_des_Buttes_Chaumont as in my name, Mont Faucon / Matt Falcone. The word Falcon in English translates to Faucon in French.
Also, the City of MonFalcone in Italy. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Monfalcone
Also, the City of Falcone, in Sicily. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Falcone,_Sicily
Also, the Falcone International Airport in Italy - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Falcone_Borsellino_Airport
Billionaire Empire, The Falcone Group in the USA - https://falconegroup.info
A different entity, Billionaire Empire, Phillip Falcone - with 20% ownership of the The New York Times - plus owner of 5,000 different Television Station Networks, and 5,000 Satellites in space, & 5,000 Satellite repeaters on land, such as the Hollywood Sign in Los Angeles California. - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Philip_Falcone - In addition he owned & controlled Harbinger Capital aka HRG Group which was created by former President George H. W. Bush Senior - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/HRG\_Group#Glazer\_era\_and\_the\_birth\_of\_Harbinger\_Group\_Inc.
In 2019, he sold one of his homes in NYC. It went for a record breaking most ever paid for a residential townhouse in New York City - https://www.bnnbloomberg.ca/hedge-fund-founder-john-griffin-buys-most-expensive-nyc-townhome-1.1270334

On the east side of the words, in the "E" in Arlene, or the "N" in Orlean on the map of 19115, we have Geiger Road. A Geiger Counter is an instrument that measures radioactive levels.
In the 1990's Lockheed Martin had a factory here on Geiger Road. They are a leading American aerospace and defense corporation, specializing in cutting-edge technology and solutions for air, land, sea, space, and cybersecurity challenges. www.lockheedmartin.com
On Red Line Road, we had "The Budd Company" who specialized in manufacturing Railroad Cars. They were a 20th-century metal fabricator, a major supplier of body components to the automobile industry, and a manufacturer of stainless steel passenger rail cars, airframes, missile and space vehicles, and various defense products. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Budd_Company - During WW2, they switched production from rail cars to war heads & various Military Equipment. During their tenor, they left behind contaminated land, from PCB's oil leakage, and Radioactive Waste. Though, I had the radioactive reports 5 years ago before covid, which described the radioactivity levels, stretching as far south as Bustleton Road, via an underground creak, that crosses Red Line Rd just about 100ft north of Bustleton Ave, I do not have those links anymore, ...maybe on an old computer.
I did recently find the reports where the NCR, The Nuclear Regulatory Commission staff has terminated the license held by the Budd Company for another facility in Philadelphia, which may have occurred at both locations, as this location, which consisted of 75 acres was their main manufacturing facility, and the other may have been primarily used for offices, mailing address, and smaller manufacturing. https://www.nrc.gov/docs/ML0037/ML003702451.pdf -
The Budd Company operated a hot cell facility in Philadelphia from l956 through l967 to manufacture sealed sources for use in industrial radiography. (A hot cell is a heavily shielded enclosure in which radioactive materials are handled by persons using remote manipulators, such as mechanical arms, and viewed through shielded windows or periscopes.) A small amount of unsealed cesium-137 was also used for a brief time at the facility.
In addition, we also have Laramie Road. I always wondered what the meaning of Laramie meant, as I have seen roads all over the world with the same name, such as in Canada.
The Laramie Mountains in Black Hills / Paha Sapa, USA was one of the largest Uranium mining sites in the USA. https://www.nuclear-risks.org/en/hibakusha-worldwide/black-hillspaha-sapa.html
The Black Hills are considered a sacred place by the Lakota people and are representative of the entire four-state region of South Dakota, Wyoming, Montana and North Dakota, where thousands of uranium mines or exploration wells are located. For more than 40 years, the local population has been exposed to the radioactive legacy of the former uranium rush.
Behind my house at 9643 Pine Rd. inside Buckley Place, and also Buckley Terrace, Almatt Place, Almatt Terrace, Myers Circle, Mark Place, Johnathin Place, Kismet Place, etc... etc... and so on, whatever... we have various dead end streets, which the locals refer to as a "cul-de-sacs" as they strikingly resemble a cement covered missel silo's, aka launch sites, in which the process requires the cement cover to be blown off by explosives, so the missile underneath can launch intercontinentally.
We also have, "Flagstaff Rd." ...Get it? Flag, like the American Flag & Staff.
In the 1985 movie, Back to the Future, Marty Visits Hill Valley, as in Pine Valley / Huntingdon Valley - https://youtu.be/i9-4phPA_mQ?feature=shared
Also, in Back to the Future, the Mall Scene where the Libyans arrive to get back their stolen Plutonium, the name of the mall is "Twin Pines" ...there is also a "Lone Pine" Mall in the movie. So, the Twin Pines Mall in the movie, is almost an exact replica of the Plymouth Meeting Mall, which is about 25 minutes away from Pine Rd. Though, the mall had a makeover in around the year 2010. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GfLPiMPAReU or here https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AChCcVIJaCE
Also, in Back to the Future, Marty's mom's name is Lorraine. As a play on words in French, "Reine" means "King" in France, So, Lorain would translate in French to King Louis, Lou, Lo.
In the South Park SE 8 EP 1 2004 Paris Hilton inserts a Pine Apple up her vagina. Get it, Paris as in France, like how the streets here are shaped into the words: Arlene & Orlene, ....and, a Pine Apple like Pine Rd. https://youtu.be/HS5_opSMxDc?t=91 and/or https://southpark.cc.com/video-clips/n0cqud/south-park-the-whore-off
https://youtu.be/XkvIlrLiy9o - The 1993 movie, the Coneheads as in Falcone, Fal-cone, in this clip, ...they say, "Were from France" and also their homes look identical to ours.
In addition, as explained above + http://www.LaserLightShow.ORG as myself... also in the movie, plus many more: https://youtu.be/56XbBVUuwl4?feature=shared
Eminem - Slim Shady like Shady Lane Road & Pine Rd. https://youtu.be/BBY4-BqR08o
In the movie, Trading Places Movie with Eddie Murphey, that was filmed in Philadelphia, ....his name is Billy Ray Valentine, but, it sounds like Billy Revel on Pine, as in the French Revolution.
Did you ever hear the saying, "We'll that's the word on the street?" or... "The word on the street is..."
My parents were my best friends. I bought my 1st home in 2004, in the 19115, When they got old & sick, I had to move back in w/ them & keep my home vacant. We wanted to prevent them from going into a nursing home, and also having the nursing home take away their home. We had nurses, round the clock for 24 hours. I was not embarrassed living with my parents. I actually enjoyed it very much. We would eat dinner together every day. We never argued. My whole life I was never yelled at. They were a lot older than me, and as their age progressed, things became tough. I had to cook for them 3 meals a day, and do everything for them... because I didn't want to put them in a nursing home. One time, my vegan diet gave my father low iron, low hemoglobin (which requires a blood transfusion to fix immediately), it makes you weak, and you can't move.... So, I had to sleep on the floor next to him for a month. I didn't know about the Nutrition Tracking Meal Diary Cell Phone Free App called www.cronometer.com at that time. I miss them very much, and think about them all the time.
My father was a prominent Book Publisher, similar to myself also a publisher. He was the VP at Ruttle, Shaw & Wetherill. One of their notable works that they published was the Merck Manual Professional // Merck Manual Consumer, an indispensable resource for medical professionals; it was the most popular reference guide for Medical Professionals, on how to treat hospital patients. It's what Hospitals used before the internet & computers.
My mother worked at Orleans Technical College & also the School District of Philadelphia as a part time substitute #teacher, and hemy friends worked in operations. They also owned a printing company specializing in medical forms. They both retired around 1990.
I think this is the best home in #America. I don't care about those big homes in California or Florida nor Donald Trump's home in Key Largo.... I don't think his home is better than mine. I only mention that b/c I hear it in the news every day for the past 5 years... but, maybe that's why the Donald Trump National Golf Club Philadelphia in New Jersey is located in a city, with the same name as mine, Pine Hill / Pine Valley. Here, we have the Fox Chase Farm, it's 117 acres, 1 hour walk to loop it.
The only homes or Cities that might even come close, might be Dubai, United Arab Emirates - World Islands, or Dubai Palm Island ....but, we did this in the 1950's, and they just started.

🔴🔴🔴🔴 ⚡ Louis XVI & The American Revolution
Louis XVI's financial support to the United States during the American Revolutionary War primarily came in the form of loans and supplies. The financial assistance was crucial for the American colonists in their fight against British rule. Here are the details of how the money was distributed:
Financial Agreements: In February 1778, France and the United States signed the Treaty of Alliance, formally allying France with the American colonists. As part of this agreement, France pledged its support, including financial aid, to the United States.
Loans: France provided substantial loans to the United States to fund their war efforts. The most significant loan came in 1778 when the French government arranged a loan of 2 million livres (a French currency) from the French banking house of Le Couteulx et Cie. This initial loan was followed by additional loans, including a total of 10 million livres in 1779 and 24 million livres in 1780.
Supplies and Military Aid: In addition to financial assistance, France also provided military supplies and aid to the American colonists. The French Navy played a crucial role in the war by assisting in naval blockades and engaging in key battles, such as the Battle of Yorktown in 1781, which was a decisive victory for the Americans. The French military support included troops, warships, weapons, and ammunition.
Benjamin Franklin's Role: Benjamin Franklin, the American envoy to France, played a significant role in negotiating and securing French support. He worked closely with the French government to secure financial aid and other resources for the American cause. Franklin's diplomacy and influence were instrumental in obtaining French assistance.
Distribution of Funds: The funds received from France were primarily managed by the Continental Congress, the governing body of the American colonies during the Revolutionary War. Congress used the funds to pay for various war-related expenses, such as purchasing supplies, equipping troops, and maintaining military operations. Some funds were also used to pay off existing debts.
It is important to note that while Louis XVI and France's support was crucial for the American cause, the financial aid alone did not guarantee victory in the war. The American colonists faced numerous challenges throughout the conflict, and the outcome of the war was determined by a combination of factors, including military strategy, perseverance, and the support of other nations such as Spain and the Netherlands.
🔴🔴🔴🔴
⚡ Family Relationships of France & England
Louis XVI's wife, Marie Antoinette, and King George III's wife, Queen Charlotte, were sisters-in-law as they both came from the House of Habsburg-Lorraine through their mother, Maria Theresa. This made Louis XVI and King George III brothers-in-law by marriage.
In addition, there were also related by blood by former ancestors.
The British and French royal families have a long history of intermarriage, resulting in blood connections between the two dynasties. Here are some key relationships that link the British and French royal families:
The House of Stuart and the House of Bourbon: One significant connection between the two royal families was through the marriage of Mary, Queen of Scots, a member of the Stuart dynasty, to Francis II of France, who belonged to the House of Valois-Bourbon. Their son, James VI of Scotland (later James I of England and Ireland), became the first monarch of the Stuart dynasty to rule over England and Scotland, effectively uniting the crowns from 1567 to 1625.
The House of Hanover and the House of Bourbon: The Hanoverian dynasty in Britain began with the accession of George I in 1714. The Hanoverians were related to the French Bourbon dynasty through Sophia of Hanover, whose mother was Elizabeth Stuart, daughter of James VI and I. Sophia's uncle, Charles I of England and Scotland, married Henrietta Maria of France, a member of the House of Bourbon. Therefore, there was a blood connection between the Hanoverians and Bourbons through the Stuart lineage.
The House of Saxe-Coburg and Gotha and the House of Orléans: In the 19th century, the British royal family, known as the House of Saxe-Coburg and Gotha (later renamed the House of Windsor), had a connection to the French royal family through Queen Victoria. In 1840, Victoria married Prince Albert, who was a member of the German noble House of Saxe-Coburg and Gotha. Their daughter, Princess Victoria, married Prince Louis of Battenberg, whose mother was a member of the House of Orléans, a branch of the French royal family.
Edward III and Isabella of France: Edward III of England, who reigned from 1327 to 1377, was married to Philippa of Hainault. However, a significant blood connection between the British and French royal families came through Edward III's mother, Isabella of France. Isabella was the daughter of King Philip IV of France, making Edward III a grandson of a French king.
These are only a few examples of how the British and French royal families were related.
While these connections highlight the historical ties between the British, The Royal Family, and French royal families, it is important to note that they represent a small portion of the complex web of intermarriages among European royal houses throughout history. The relationships between the two dynasties were often influenced by political considerations, diplomatic alliances, and the desire to strengthen familial connections among European monarchies.

2024.06.01 22:15 DramaticLock8341 Looking for an old cartoon?

Hi everyone! My sister and I are trying to figure out the name of a really old cartoon/anime for kids, we watched around late 1990s/early 2000 It was about a group of characters (possibly animals or kids idk) that would go to different “worlds” to discover the alphabet and have missions for each letter? We kinda remember random bits but cant place them together In one episode they went to some underground place with jewels and gold that had robots running it Another episode they were on a dining table with a large feast and yummy foods but the characters were shrunk to be smaller than the foods
At the end it had an ABC song with a galaxy theme and rainbows and stars
Please help we’re really lost :’(

2024.06.01 21:51 Contract007 I found a way to connect all of it

Let's start here: https://www.govinfo.gov/content/pkg/CHRG-106hhrg74430/html/CHRG-106hhrg74430.htm
This is a joint U.S Congress and DEA meeting in the late 90s-2000 to discuss political influence swaying potential criminal investigations featuring one of Drake's very own father figures, J Prince.
This is a very long meeting with lots of dialogue, but here are the most important pieces of information to consider:
This summer, we heard about an investigation of drug trafficking in Houston, TX. There was an investigation involving a man named James Prince. He owns a record company called Rap-A-Lot. He and his associates were believed to be large-scale drug dealers. This investigation produced more than 20 convictions. There were allegations that political pressure was brought to bear, and the Drug Enforcement Administration killed the investigation.
In July, the staff was briefed by the head of the DEA's Houston field office, Mr. Earnest Howard. Mr. Howard assured the staff that the DEA's investigation was active and ongoing. He was very convincing, so we didn't pursue the matter any further.
Then, in October, we were told there were e-mails that contradicted what we were told.
This leads to an interesting conversation about how the investigation was tampered with:
The e-mails flatly contradicted what Mr. Howard told us. We have a March 14 e-mail from Mr. Marshall to DEA headquarters in Washington. He states, ``I understand that the situation involving Rap-A-Lot and James Smith, a.k.a. James Prince, has only gotten worse. To eliminate any further difficulty in this matter I have decided that the Houston division will curtail any enforcement against this subject.'' He concludes by saying, ``at any rate, it is over; and we are closing our case on Prince.'' The next day Mr. Howard sent another e-mail to Washington. This one states, ``now we bow down to the political pressure anyway. It is over now. The Houston division will terminate all active investigation of Rap-A-Lot except for those persons who have already been arrested or indicted.''
Not only was the investigation stopped, J Prince was also involved with the actual police force within Houston and leveraged his political support:
Last month, we interviewed several local Houston City policemen. They were assigned to a joint investigation of Mr. Prince with the DEA. They told us that they were removed from the case about a month after the Congresswoman's letter arrived. They told us they were called to a meeting with Special Agent Howard, the head of field office. Mr. Howard told them that the investigation was over, and he cited the Congresswoman's letter.
The meeting calls forth witnesses, and Congress sent out subpoenas to the DA, DEA members involved as the information they received did not match with the investigation at hand.
This led to an example of the power J Prince has in that community:
Discussing Mr. Prince, Mr. Burton further stated, ``he gives a million to a church, the Vice President goes to that church, and 2 days later somebody says they are closing the case. Something is wrong. They're blocking us because I think they're afraid that this might be an embarrassment to the Vice President.''
Now the actual hearing is incredibly long, I did not read through all of it but I encourage people to do so because it might go into more depth into Jay Prince's history.
I bring this all up because everything we found so far is connected in some way:
a) How Drake got involved with Birdman and J. Prince
a1. This investigation took place between late 1990s (1998 - 1999) to when the actual meeting happened in 2000, the same time frame that Birdman said J Prince didn't have the structure to support Cash Money Records and went to universal which potentially started the feud between Jay Prince and Birdman.
a2. J Prince's feud with Birdman was over his son finding Drake and bringing him to Cash Money, only to never get fully compensated and he even went as far as threatening his children with Lil Wayne being referred to as Birdman's "other son".
This prompted Birdman to settle it out of court for $11,000.000.
a3. Despite Lil Wayne's issues with Birdman and Birdman's issues with J Prince, Drake was the biggest profit margin for both of them including UMG.
Drake had earned YM and UMG an insane amount of money with both his Views + Scorpion catalogue before he left YM in 2018 and started OVO with UMG. This means he still has Birdman's support.
Jay Prince and his son were executive producers on Thank Me Later, Nothing Was The Same, and other projects and were entitled to 33% of profits from these albums. This means that he still has Jay Prince's support.
And UMG profited from all of it including the current OVO/Gamma branch, leading to his support from Lucian Grange himself.
a) Conclusion: Despite a public J Prince/Birdman feud and contract disputes, Drake has the support of two very dangerous gangstetrafficking entities in Hip Hop along with the biggest musical entity, UMG through his early deals with them.
b) How Trafficking is connected to the industry and Drake
b1. Birdman was Jay Prince's protégée, he took after him in many ways and even began associating with our friend Sabah Nissan who has a history with trafficking overseas, notice how it says #OceanDrive. The same Ocean Drive where Nissan met Diddy who provided him connections to the music industry.
Nissan also is connected to DJ Khalid who is a Global Creative Consultant at UMG, another connection into the music industry.
b2. The Nissan family can be seen with stars like Future, Lil Uzi, and even Ariana Grande. But the most important of them all is the 69 god himself, Drake and Drake even attended their bar mitzvah. (Go read https://www.reddit.com/usePractical-Major-9814/ posts about it, he broke down the Nissan story one by one before he was threatened to stop.)
b3. The Drake-Nissan connection goes deeper where Drake's right hand man co-owned a hotel with Nissan as well as the Jungle Security which coincidentally was scrubbed from the internet after we exposed it.
b4. The most interesting situation is a drug called 2C or "Tusi", which Nissan's family has commented under pictures which Drake has also referenced in tracks like "Toosie Slide" and even bars where he mentions the exact drug as well.
It's other name is "Pink Cocaine", which Diddy is involved in having trafficked which goes back to his earlier connection with Sabah Nissan.
b5. Aside from Drug trafficking, Drake is also implicated with J Mulan and DJ Eric who host controversial clubs that traffic girls for celebrities. Coincidentally this is found in Houston, the same place J Prince operates and has a control of.
b) Conclusion: There is no picture or video evidence of Drake's direct involvement which is why EP is so interesting and why there hasn't been a public case against him, but what we did find long paper trail that implicates himself, his LLCs along with connections from within the OVO camp that not only acknowledges but at times is directly involved with trafficking of drugs and sex with the people facilitating it.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
If I missed anything or messed up, please let me know and i'll edit it.
But so far this is my research and the connections I was able to make.

2024.05.31 21:57 sighidontwannabehere Hear me out… Airburst Cannon

Hear me out… Airburst Cannon
Not sure what name to give it, but ABC-9 would be funny because its the first 3 letters of the english alphabet, though its a little silly.
It would fire ACTUAL airburst rounds (not bomblets like the airburst rocket does) which detonate when within a certain radius of enemies.
This thing is a little weaker and doesn’t have as much shrapnel compared to its orbital counter part but it loads in 4 round clips, you will be stationary and the reload will take a max of 3.5 seconds to complete. You can only have 4 rounds in the gun at a time, no preloading like the normal autocannon. Backpack for reloading included.
The rest of the stats im unsure of what to put, I’m not an expert at balancing but my overall idea for this thing is only light armor pen, and it should clear swarms of enemies pretty well if you aim correctly, not entirely demolish them but just well. Also doubles as a super shotgun lol.
Also just mentioning for fun, the little front scope with wires attached to it is some sort of distance radar that tells the gun how far what you’re aiming at is, so it knows when to detonate the airburst payload (its all automatic you don’t have to do a thing!)

2024.05.31 18:45 TransgenderMommy [META] Possible to tweak the AutoMod bot?

I find that one of the AutoMod bots is oversensitive and alerting to comments that aren't rule-breaking.
Rule #3 (no medical discussion) forbids posts and comments that "request medical advice or make (medical treatment) suggestions," which is 100% rational and reasonable for an all-ages subreddit and I am NOT suggesting or requesting a rules change.
That being said, the bot, though, is a bit too sensitive. I would suggest that the bot NOT automatically reply-warn on the specific keyword that is the three-letter initialism which describes the primary medical care trans people receive. (Let's refer to it as "ABC" for the purpose of this OP.)
Here are some examples of posts and comment-types that DO NOT violate the rules, but which obnoxiously trigger the warn-bot:
"r slash someothersubreddit does not allow posts from users on ABC."
"You don't need ABC to be valid."
"Can I still be a femboy if I use ABC."
Notice that NONE of these topics suggest, or request medical advice.
I humbly suggest that the bot be adjusted to be less restrictive on this term. If it helps, I am willing to compile a longer list of terms and words that are DEFINITELY medically-suggestive in nature, that could be ADDED to the bot; That would actually make it a better and more useful tool for moderation.

2024.05.31 15:05 kayakero Elliot Waves Trading [Practical Guide]

Elliot Waves Trading [Practical Guide]
Elliot Wave Theory was developed by Ralph Nelson Elliot about a century ago, based on Dow's theory.
Elliot's theory allows us to identify the type of wave in which a graph is located and thus be able to position ourselves in one direction or another, depending on how we believe that market or value is going to behave.
Although to do this we must be 100% sure that we have divided the movements of the graph well and that each of these waves meets all the requirements of the Elliot Wave Theory.

Principle of Elliot Waves

The principle of Elliot Waves is based on the assumption that the stock market is part of a natural law that influences the behaviors of nature, and therefore, of humanity.
Since the movement of the mass is influenced by “strict” natural norms, each moment should be able to be identified if we know these norms.
This has a great advantage, and that is that we can "predict" what the market will do in the future, because, according to Elliot, all market participants (sharks and minnows) tend to behave in the same way under certain circumstances.
As I mentioned, it is based on a previous theory, which is the Dow Theory:
In this theory we are explained, among other things, that the market has three trends: Primary (more than a year), Secondary or intermediate (from 3 weeks to 3 months) and Minor (less than 3 weeks).
And that each trend consists of three phases (accumulation, momentum and distribution)
It seems like nothing new up to this point, but Elliot classified up to 9 different trend levels. I list them out of curiosity: Great Supercycle, Supercycle, Cycle, Primary, Intermediate, Minor, Moment, Minuette, Subminuette.
It is very difficult to see all of them, since, for example, the Great Supercycle would last approximately 150-200 years.

Trading with Elliot Waves

The theory tells us that every impulse, seen in its simplest form, moves in 5 waves; 3 in favor of the trend (impulse waves) and 2 against (retracement waves).
Then comes a correction in 3 waves (abc), which are corrective waves.
Each wave can be subdivided into another 5 trend waves and 3 correction waves.
And all those minor waves can also be subdivided into 5-3.
We will continue like this until we form a complete cycle that will have 144 waves (if you manage to identify it the first time, you will probably get a Guinness award).
We have to know that Elliot and Fibonacci are closely related to each other. Elliot used various ratios to determine levels of the waves.
https://preview.redd.it/mjup3f6ser3d1.png?width=600&format=png&auto=webp&s=6e102008e487d96f5b314e9bc548455e1fe020ff

How to identify Elliot Waves

To identify impulse waves we have to follow the most basic rules, which are:
  • Impulse wave 3 should never be the shortest of all.
  • Wave 4 level can never go below wave 1.
  • Waves 2 and 4 must be different from each other (alternation rule).
But there are several exceptions to these guidelines:
  • Terminal figure: It forms a wedge and the minimum of wave 4 passes below the maximum of wave 1. It anticipates a change in trend, but it is only considered valid if wave 5 in turn consists of 5 minor waves:
https://preview.redd.it/qo4x6aever3d1.png?width=570&format=png&auto=webp&s=dfde4dcfb3326cfaa68138535860f15144ef910c
  • 5th Failure: The maximum of impulse 5 is below the maximum of impulse 3. In this case, we must join points 2 and 4 and the projection of that line marks the limit, which if the price crosses it, it is confirmed that it has correction started:
https://preview.redd.it/5osd36txer3d1.png?width=570&format=png&auto=webp&s=a9b8c7f3d3347e1847d90ad82fe6cea99ce1baa9
The guidelines for identifying corrections are as follows:
  • Zig Zag: ABC waves have 5-3-5 waves respectively (impulse – correction – impulse). Within the basic corrections that are zig zag we have three variants: normal zig zag, truncated zig zag and elongated zig zag.
  • Flat: ABC waves have 3-3-5 waves respectively (correction – correction – impulse).
  • Triangle: It would have 3-3-3-3-3 waves, that is, 5 corrections in a row. And there is also a variant of a contractive triangle and an expansive triangle.
  • Complex: There is more variety here, but the most common are 3-3-X-3-3 (double threes) or 3-3-3-X-3-3-3 (triple threes).
A key point when putting Elliot Wave Theory into practice is not to stop at the first count we do.
In this sense, the same praxis can be used as when we do a market search: We do not keep the first thing you find, but rather you filter and eliminate, until you are left with the best.
Well, with wave counts you have to do the same thing: You do one, then another, and another, and you end up staying with the best one.

Elliot Wave Strategy

Extremely simplified, Elliott outlined the typical waveform of a security in a market.
He sketched the swings, up and down, with their associated pullbacks (or rallies for downtrends, if we are being strict) with the following drawing and named each section:
https://preview.redd.it/mrtxgdddfr3d1.png?width=400&format=png&auto=webp&s=2aa106acd9f353cfb5cbd40559d459479939f6da
Actually, we Newbies put the negative signs to distinguish the sections of the bullish swings from the bearish ones. It is house nomenclature.
These drawings allow us to identify which phase we are in. From waves 1 to 5, we are in the pull in favor of the main trend with pullbacks in waves 2 and 4. In waves with letters, we are in the corrective phase towards the trend line.
There are times when the Elliott pattern looks great on the charts and there are times when it doesn't . Many times it seems like it is there, but it is not there.
Elliott defined a series of geometric rules to know how to identify which section is each. For example, section 3 has to be the longest of the phase in favor of the trend.
This helps us, when we believe we have recognized that we are ready to hunt a swing, just after the first pullback (wave 2), to have higher expectations than normal and stretch the operation a little further with some security.
On the other hand, when we believe that we are trying to take advantage of a wave 5 (the last good one), we must be ready to rush out at the slightest sign of alarm. This could be adjusting our stop more or setting the target closer.
As I already said, we are interested in hunting wave 3 above all, and also waves 1 and 5. From all the others, as long as we operate in favor of the trend, we must escape (including B). Do not try to take advantage of intermediate pullbacks. It's expensive.
It is much better to sell (short) in waves -1, -3 and -5 than to sell in waves 2, 4, A or C.

Conclusion

It has been proven that, if we have several analysts identify the current moment based on Elliot Waves, none of them will agree with their account, no matter how expert they are in this theory.
This shows that it is a somewhat subjective theory and difficult to apply.
It has several interesting points , such as identifying the main impulsive waves, whose retracement waves coincide with important Fibonacci levels and can help us estimate how much momentum we have left.

2024.05.31 12:55 grappleandpop Einstein Syndrome?

Hi there, Sorry in advance for formatting, I'm on mobile.
I am an autistic Mother, with an autistic son. I live in New Zealand, and I'm currently feeling extremely alone in my experience not only as an autistic adult woman but also as somebody who has a child with autism. I need some help or advice or anybody who could possibly relate to please comment on this.
My son is 3 years old. He has a severe speech delay but isn't non-verbal. None of his speech is conversational, it all is centered around his interests. Him and I are very in sync, it's like I can read his mind, but still I have no idea whether he currently has social skills of any kind. However, his intelligence is unlike anything I, or any of the professionals currently involved with him have ever seen. He is only recently 3, and about a year ago we noticed he was rapidly teaching himself how to read by using his interest in the alphabet and phonics, (which he mastered a little before his second birthday). So now at 3 he can basically read anything at a fairly low level, but won't follow instruction to do so, nor show an interest in sharing this ability. He just picks up a book and reads it aloud. As well as this, he knows the ABCs so unbelievably well that he can recite them forwards, and backwards with ease; I have also seen him lining up the entire alphabet excluding every 2nd or 3rd letter etc. Whichever pattern he enjoys that might mix things up a bit in his brain. He can also spell words by using his alphabet blocks. As well as his literacy, he can also count to 200+ and backwards from 200 exactly. Same thing as the letters, he creates and recognizes more and more challenging patterns in the numbers also. Other interests of his have included instruments, fruits, vegetables, colours. When he's interested in something he learns everything about it, he can name instruments and fruits that I've never even heard of.
Even with all of this seemingly superhuman intelligence, he doesn't talk to us at all, he doesn't wave hello or goodbye. He doesn't understand questions or instructions. It's genuinely like he has the intelligence of a 6 or 7 year old but the communication level of a (maybe) 1 year old.
When I've googled different things pertaining to this situation, it's frequently come up with the term "Einstein Syndrome" but I can't seem to find any clinical research or studies to back this up. There doesn't even seem to be solid diagnostic criteria or anything so I'm not sure if this is potentially a pseudo-science term or what. Is that a real thing? Can anybody shed light on this?
What do I do? Has anybody heard of this? Has anybody experienced it? Is there a term for it I'm missing? I'm so worried that I'm doing all the wrong things to support him or that I'm not doing enough. Please help me.

2024.05.31 04:01 seenstrangesights Tutoring HOH teen in ASL as a hearing person?

I know the title sounds dicey. So my mom's friend has a kid who's HOH (and I think has a learning disability?) and I believe has used hearing aids for most of her life. More recently she's been going to a Deaf camp that seems to use simcom (ASL and speaking at the same time) over anything else, but there's one Deaf girl who signs. Her mom and her have been learning some ASL together and asked my mom if I'd be willing to practice with her.
Now, I immediately clarified that I would not be TEACHING her, and her mom said I would only be practicing, specifically on signing without English. I have only been signing for around 3 years(plus some baby sign that barely counts) and am not immersed in any Deaf communities. It sounds like she's been learning for around a year.
I had my first meeting with her today and thought we'd just be practicing and chatting with each other, but she barely has her basics down. I spent most of the time signing a basic sentence, seeing her blank look, and then having to explain with simcom. Fingerspelling is still difficult, and she has to say each letter aloud while seeing it or signing it herself, and then put it together into the English word. She also seems to have problems imitating my handshapes. The book they've given her (either her mom or her teacher) is VERY English focused, such as using the F handshape for the word forest, having a whole section on words like AND, BECAUSE, FOR, etc., and so on.
If I don't meet with her I don't think she has anyone else to sign with until she goes to camp. I've gently advised her mom that it would be a good idea find a Deaf teacher and get involved with the Deaf community, but her mom's kind of intense and I don't want to be telling her how to raise her kid.
She's such a sweet kid, and I really want to help her. I'm thinking about insisting that it's only practice/tutoring and continuing to meet her, and practice basic things like colors/foods/ABCs etc. with as little English as possible, but there's only so much I feel comfortable doing. I'd only be meeting her once a week for about an hour. If anybody has any ideas or feels strongly that I should or shouldn't be doing this, feel free to add. Thanks

2024.05.31 03:52 SacTownAnon Company chased me out 6 years ago. Assumed company died. It raised $6m recently. I have a very early equity letter. Do I have any sort of case?

Location: California
I'll try to make this summary succinct.
I was an early employee of a computer repair company for a year around 7 years ago. In my time there, I was effectively coerced to work on a side project app of theirs, a social media application.
In my time there, I received many illegal, unethical actions (verbally abused, etc). I received death threats both before and after my departure from the CEO and head of HR. As a result, I did not keep regular contact with the company.
Shortly before my departure however, I received a "letter of assurance". The company could not yet issue shares, so I was told this would be the "next best thing". The dates of which it would occur were vague, with no set date of when these would be made available.
I honestly thought the company failed. I only found out they existed still as a result of a Yahoo Finance article about them.
Since I never got clear dates of when this would be available, nor did I ever receive any outreach of whether I would or would NOT receive equity, I'm not sure how the statute of limitation applies here, which is my biggest concern.
Below is the letter, with the company and my name modified out.
Do I have any sort of legal basis with a letter like this? If I do, am I within statute to do anything? And if so, what type of law should I be contacting? (employment law? contract law?)
```
ABC EMPLOYEE STOCK OPTION PLAN COMMITMENT LETTER
June 15, 2017

2024.05.30 17:18 ConclusionPuzzled113 A letter to parents

A letter to Parents,
I'm tired of teaching your kids empathy when you turn around and tell them it doesn't matter. I'm tired of teaching your kids manners when you tell them please & thank yous are a waste. I'm tired of teaching your kids respect when you show none to anyone. I'm tired of teaching your kids to brsath on their own. Meaning having them be not babiefied and be more independent. When you swear that they can't lift a finger because they are allergic to doing things on their own. I've worked in childcare for 14 almost 15 years. I am burned out. I am worn out. I take pride in my job. Not only am I teaching your kids ABCs and 123s! I'm teaching them how to be human beings. I'm teaching them when a friend falls we don't laugh we help them up and ask if they are OK. I'm teaching them it's okay to be mad or sad or a mixture of everything. And I'm teaching them healthy was to express these feelings. I'm teaching them just because you didn't win or wasn't first doesn't mean you failed. But year after year parents are getting worse. An excuse for every behavior. It's always the fault the teachers. The fault of other children in the classroom. The fault of the fucking air movement. Never the fault of the child or the parent. These are the children of the future. Son when little Johnny beats someone because he wanted the talk first what are you going to tell the police? "Well, it's okay because Johny just needs 20 mins., to breath and the victim should have known that." When your teaching little Susie she can get away with blaming others for what she did. How well do you think that's gonna go over in the future? I can hear so many now, "Oh my God get over it!" "They are just little kids your making a big deal over nothing" "Well, maybe you should try harder." But, to me it is a big deal. I do not expect your three year olds to be perfect. I do nor expect them to act like they work a full time job and pay taxes. I just want to make their learning experience fun and meaningful. I want to send them off to prek with not only book smarts but with the a bit of common sense and the ability to help out friends.
Senserly, A very tired, burned out teacher fearing for the future.

2024.05.29 23:57 fantastic_beats Boost Summit Flip: Truly awful

For a while, I've really wanted to simplify my life by trying to go back to a flip phone. I've been on Boost Mobile for more than a decade now, and most of the current flip phones I was seeing in reviews were carrier-locked, so I thought I'd give the Summit Flip a try.
The big smartphone-wannabe screen on the front basically displays your number of notifications. Your camera uses it for selfie mode, which I suppose is kind of handy.
I was not looking for a bunch of apps. I was looking to talk, text and use it as a hotspot. I would have been thrilled if it had maps.

What the phone can do

What the phone cannot do

Things the phone can do, but so, so badly

Mobile hotspot.

This one was actually pretty OK -- as long as your battery lasts. It drains the battery very quickly, so don't plan on using it for more than a couple hours, unless you've got a backup battery or a fresh charge and no other plans today.

Voice calls.

At first, I listed this under "can do," but then I remembered something: The volume buttons on the side of the phone are easily depressed. Meaning if my phone was in my pocket, or in my cupholder, or in a bag, or anywhere but sitting perfectly flat on a surface with no other objects touching it, it is HIGHLY LIKELY that your ringer will either be 1. Off completely, with no vibration, or 2. As loud as it can go. I missed calls because of this, and I scared the shit out of myself while trying to sleep.

Texting.

This was finally the dealbreaker for me. The KT9 typing was aggressively bad. It has a very hard time suggesting any contractions, and it will only suggest them after you've typed two letters but before you've typed the apostrophe, because YOU CANNOT TYPE AN APOSTROPHE.
You can go into the symbols menu and type some kind of backwards-curving apostrophe. It took me 15 keystrokes to type the word "I'm," again, with some kind of off-brand apostrophe, and because the apostrophe is the second character, the phone would never, ever suggest the word "I'm." Turns out I begin MANY texts with the word "I'm."
It does not capitalize the first letter of a sentence, so you have to switch to Abc mode if you'd like to do that. It does not capitalize the word "I."
It does know many city names, even ones local to me. It does not ever remember names you type in, so if you often talk about someone who spells their name in a less-than-incredibly-common way, you'll have to Abc it.
It does not support sending or receiving emojis.
It has a truly sadistic algorithm for autocomplete. I'm finally done with the Summit Flip today, after I tried to ask someone out this Sunday and it autocorrected "to" to "tomorrow," causing a lot of confusion and embarrassment. I guess I used "tomorrow" more than "to" over the past couple days? Fuck if I know.

Timer.

You have to set the timer with the phone's directional pad. On a device that is 50% keypad, it cannot use the keypad. That oversight on this feature is just salt in the wound and proof that nobody gave a shit about this device.

Play music.

The music app is extremely basic. Searching is a chore, as is scrolling through your entire lists by artist or album. The sound quality is like you're calling a friend and having them hold their phone up to a speaker playing your music. If you open the music app, it lives in your tray, which on this phone means it lives in your notifications, for hours, sometimes days. You have to wait for the app to die of natural causes to get to 0 notifications.

Play podcasts.

There is no client for downloading podcasts, so you have to transfer episodes via USB or your Micro SD card. Once they're on your phone, you can play them in your music app, but as far as I can tell there is no way to sort by show.

Calendar.

This does not sync with any other calendar service. You have to input events with the phone's shitty typing abilities. No thanks.

Takeaways

All in all, if all you need this phone for is voice calls, texting like a psycho, and fairly brief hotspot usage -- and you do not plan to carry it in your pocket -- this could be a dumbphone for you!
EDIT: Mistakenly put "contacts" in "cannot" instead of "can"

2024.05.29 21:06 Historical-Milk-1339 Was Alex Murphy REALLY revived as Robocop in the first movie? I'm starting to think Robo is a separate person.....

If you read the title of this post, then you know I'm asking a question that many of you will most likely find as stupid and say I'm not a real Robocop fan. While I do understand if you think that, I hope you at least let me explain where I'm coming from to give context behind my question and so maybe you can share your take on whether or not this is accurate.
So I have recently watched the first two Robocop movies and played Rogue City for the first time. I'm now familiar with Robocop's origin of Alex Murphy getting injured/killed and has his corpse converted into a cyborg, as well as how the movie ends him remembering who Alex Murphy is as shown when he says his name is "Murphy" at the end of the film. However, there's something that's kinda making me scratch my head after experience the first two movies and the game.....Was Alex Murphy REALLY brought back as Robocop? Are we sure that Robocop really is the same Alex Murphy who was a police officer and family man before he got shot by gangsters?
Now I'm not saying Robocop isn't human at all since he does have human organs and can feel emotions like a person. But I'm not sure if that's really the same as being Alex Murphy and kinda start to wonder if Robocop is actually a completely separate entity who only feels emotions because of the human parts left from Murphy's body. Kinda like how Swamp Thing from DC isn't actually Alec Holland, but was created from Holland's corpse. But what else led me to consider this bizarre theory? Well several things actually.
First is a point that a person who commented on my Robocop 2 review. During the unmasking scene in the first movie, Robocop specifically says "Murphy had a wife and son, what happened to them?" Not what happened to my wife and son. So what this statement is trying to say is when Robocop goes through Alex Murphy's house or remembers his execution, it's not Murphy struggling to remember; it's a computer struggling to explain these memories and emotions that aren't his and he was not programmed to deal with.
Now I'm not sure if I fully agree with this point, which is part of why I'm making this post. However, there is something else that makes wonder if Robocop is a separate being from Alex Murphy and that's actually Rogue City. After thinking about it in hindsight. the game has you make some dialogue choices as to whether Robocop is a human, machine or if he's not sure which. To me, this kinda implies that Robocop could very well be a separate being from Alex Murphy, or at least the old one. This is especially possible to me during the mission where you have glitching hallucinations that leads to Robocop having a psychological confrontation with a ghost of Alex Murphy, which comes off as the two of them not being the same.
Now I'll make it clear that I thoroughly enjoyed Rogue City and I can tell Teyon has a lot of love for the Robocop franchise. But if Robocop really "regained" his humanity at the end of the first movie like everyone says, then how Rogue City tackles his inner self is a little iffy to me. Granted, the people who wrote the first movie can't be blamed for this if it's issue with the lore since they didn't write the game. But considering how the game is meant to be a love letter, I still have to draw attention to it.
So those are things I've observed that makes me wonder if Robocop really is Alex Murphy or not. Also I have to address if what I just said is true in any way, then was it right for Robocop to say his name is Murphy at the end of the first movie if it's not really his? Maybe I'm overthinking it, but it's still something I have to wonder. This also can affect criticism against Robocop 2 since I heard it got flack for apparently resetting Robocop's arc, which may be a misconception if my theory is anything to go by.
But maybe you guys could give insight on whether or not this is accurate. I'm expecting to get criticism in case I'm just reading the lore wrong. But know that either way, it doesn't change my positive view on the Robocop franchise. I still really like the first movie and Rogue City and even though the second movie had wasted potential, I did find good stuff in it that could make me rewatch it. So feel free to leave your thoughts in the comments.
Side note: I was supposed to make my review post for Rogue City today, but felt like this question is really important and had to get it out of the way. But it’ll be ready soon!

2024.05.29 06:30 mrgnstrk Thinking of migrating to the US via F1/student visa route? Start here.

I've commented a few times in a few posts about my family's experience going through the F-1 to H-1B to GC route to migrate to the US and I've received a lot of questions over the DM, many of which I thought were pretty basic. I thought it might be helpful to put this primer together so folks know the right questions to ask and approach their planning more strategically.
This post is going to be very candid. I've noticed that the questions I've received come from misconceptions about higher education, F-1 visa, and what comes after graduation. I want to give folks the right information, but also temper expectations and give a realistic portrait of what it means and takes to use the student pathway to legally and permanently reside in the US. It is not a stroll in the park, and I don't want to give anyone the wrong idea.

BACKGROUND

Two of my siblings plus myself are all here in the US via the student visa route. I received my green card in 2021 after being in the US for nearly 4 years. After receiving my Masters at a prestigious university, I was hired immediately by an organization willing to sponsor my H-1B, which they did so after two years of employment under STEM-OPT work authorization. My employer started putting together my I-140 (Immigrant Petition for Alien Worker, which is the start of the process for an employment-based green card) shortly after receiving approval of my H-1B. As the paperwork was being put together, my partner and I decided to get married and I switched from employment-based green card to marriage-based green card. The employment-based green card would have added around a 3 year wait if we went through with it, while my marriage-based green card was approved in less than a year.
Both my siblings are currently in the same pathway. One received their Bachelors last year, was hired before graduation and has recently received approval for her H-1B. Their employer has committed to sponsoring their employment-based green card next year. My other sibling received their MFA last year and is now in the process of getting their O-1, which is a different kind of work visa. Like me, they both came to the US with a student visa. We were all very strategic about the programs we chose and how we approached networking within our industries.
We also prepared for years. I knew I wanted to get my Masters and permanently reside in the US even before I finished college in Manila. My siblings also knew that early on. So as a family we planned for years, including preparing financially because we knew that we had a very slim chance of getting free rides for our planned degrees. Our early planning also helped with our professional decision-making, because we became very strategic about what kinds of jobs we took after graduation in Manila (except our youngest sibling, who did her Bachelors in the US, so her planning revolved around her academic career in high school). I would say from start (initial planning) to finish (with the last sibling also now on the way to permanent residency), it took about a decade.

GETTING STARTED

Is the student pathway the right pathway for you?
The first question you should ask yourself: can you afford the student pathway to permanent residency in the US? Higher education in the US is not cheap. Universities very rarely offer full scholarships to Masters programs, and those that do are incredibly competitive. So you cannot depend on scholarships to help you pay for your degree--doing so will likely end in disappointment.
(PhDs are usually free and includes a living stipend, but the application process for PhDs are on a whole other level. I will not cover it here but I can answer any questions related to applying for PhDs.)
Most Masters programs in the US are two-year programs, and the average cost of a Masters degree is around $60,000 per year (source). That's $120,000--almost Php7,000,000--in two years. That is a lot of money. That does not include your cost of living, which depending on the location can vary. I personally spent around $1000 on living expenses every month (housing was through the school, so the cost of that was included in my tuition statement)--and that is living frugally in a very high cost of living city. That's an additional $12,000 per year. Of course, you can lower than number by living with family if that option is available to you.
So on average, you would need around Php4,200,000 per year for your Masters degree. Again, a lot of money. It goes without saying that the student pathway is a very expensive pathway to permanent residency in the US. Can it also be a quicker pathway than, say, being sponsored by a sibling? It can be, but that depends on how long it will take for you to save up for tuition.
What if you can make those numbers work? What else should you know?
I need to put this upfront: the F-1 student visa is a non-immigrant visa. Meaning that it is a visa meant for people who will enter the US on a temporary basis. This is why the student visa has no direct pathway or benefit to permanent residency in the US. You need to change status inside the US to one with immigrant intent or double intent to be able to be on that pathway or receive that benefit. That's where visas like the H-1B visa comes in.
You also cannot work outside of your school on an F-1 visa. During the school year, you are allowed to work part-time on campus, and during the summer you are allowed to work full-time on campus. Work outside of the school is only allowed if it's part of your curriculum (i.e. your program has a class for "onsite internship") and you are allowed to be paid while that opportunity is going on. You can do this part-time, but most legitimate universities will have limited opportunities for this (i.e. under your program you're only allowed to take credit for onsite internships one or two semesters). However, your eligibility to work full-time after getting your degree will be affected if you do this full-time for one year. If you want to jump from F-1 to H-1B, this is not something you want to do.
Your ability to bring dependents to the US on a student visa is also limited. You can only bring your spouse and unmarried children under 21. Dependents of F-1 visa holders are not allowed to work in the US (although children under 21 can go to school full-time). This means your spouse cannot work while in the United States, and that includes working remotely for a company in the Philippines.

APPLYING TO PROGRAMS

The student visa still seems like my best option. What's next?
The next step starts with you. I've received a good number of DMs asking me "Is Master of ABC the right course for me?" or "Will a Master of DEF get me a green card?" These are not the right questions to ask because they're not going to get you any good answers. Yes, we know the ultimate goal for taking your Masters in the US to get permanent residency. But the true purpose of getting a Masters in the US is to make you highly marketable and competitive to US employers that will be willing to sponsor your work visa and petition you for your permanent residency.
So you need to view this degree as a way to level yourself up professionally. I absolutely do not suggest getting a Masters degree in something "you already know"--the objective is not to coast while spending Php4,200,000 a year--but to be so much better at what you're already doing. Here's an example.
Maria Clara graduated from Accounting at a good university in Manila and now has around 2 years of experience as a CPA at the finance and accounting department at a multinational corporation based in Makati. She wants to get her permanent residency to the US via the student pathway and has done a significant amount of research on possible Masters programs and career paths in accounting in the US. She started reading into forensic accounting and realized how interested she is in various aspects of this career path. After looking through universities and programs, she has put SUNY Albany's MS in Forensic Science at the top of her list for a variety of reasons. One, it meets the education requirements for certified public accountant licensure in the state of New York. Two, even without a scholarship of financial aid, the costs for international students is not exorbitant at $23,000/Php1,320,000 for the year-long program--with some frugal living and help from relatives in the US, she can save that amount in 3-4 years. Three, New York is the center of global commerce--all the biggest companies and their accounting firms are either headquartered or have large offices in New York City, so she has a wide swath of employment options. Now she just has to get her ducks in a row and make sure her Bachelors meets the requirements for application, as well as put together a shortlist of other programs she should apply and create a timeline for herself and the milestones that need to be hit to make this dream a reality.
Bottomline is, your starting point in this entire process is reflection and research. You need to reflect on your own professional experience and skills, as well as your interests. You need to figure out which pathway will give you that professional and technical boost and do your research on available programs at reputable universities, what the job market looks like for your target profession, which companies are known to hire in this space.
Of course, you should also take into consideration your limitations. For example, you can only go to school in San Diego because you can stay with relatives while you're studying. That means your research is location-limited to however far you think you can commute.
When this is properly done, it should lead you to a place where you have a shortlist of programs to apply to. Each program will have their own application and testing requirements, as well as their own deadlines, so make sure to keep track of that.
PRO TIP: while grades during college are an important part of your application, many graduate programs put a lot of weight on your personal statement and professional recommendation letters. This is why the first step on reflection is critical--it gives you a good direction from which to build your story, which you will need to convince admissions committees to accept you into their programs.

ACCEPTANCE

I got into one of my top programs and I have my finances in order! What happens now?
Now it's time to apply for your F-1 visa. Your university will provide you with the documentation you need from them (this is mainly the I-20 and your acceptance letter), but the bulk of the documentation you need to present to the visa officer will mostly come from you. Namely, because the F-1 is a non-immigrant visa, you need to show strong ties to the Philippines. This can take a variety of forms, and oftentimes your mileage may vary especially depending on the school you will be attending (i.e. there will be less scrutiny if you're going to Harvard as compared to a university that's not that known).
If you did not receive a scholarship with your acceptance, you also need to show that you are able to afford the first year of matriculation. So bank statements containing the total amount of tuition, as well as room and board, will be important (usually the I-20 that the university will issue you will include this amount).
At the interview, be polite and only answer the questions asked. Do not offer up information not asked by the visa officer. I suggest you have a ready answer if the visa officer asks you why this particular school and program, but you should have this answer already if you followed my advice about reflecting and researching before applying to programs :)
Visa is approved and on hand! What do I do while I wait to leave for the US?
Networking starts the moment you receive your passport with your F-1 visa. You absolutely cannot and should not waste a single minute of your active student visa, so this is the time you start telling people that you're going to be studying in the US. You need to work your current network and find peers and mentors who will be willing to connect you with colleagues they know who work in the US or have ties to the US in your professional field. Let's go back to Maria Clara as an example.
Finally, after years of hard work, Maria Clara has her desired acceptance into SUNY's MS in Forensic Accounting program, and her F-1 visa was approved by the embassy without any issues. After celebrating with her family, she lets her boss know about her visa approval, who has been one of her most ardent cheerleaders during this entire process. Her boss has also offered to introduce her to their counterparts in the US once she got her visa approved, which is really important to Maria Clara--she knows she needs to get ahead of networking professionally since her time in the US is limited. She has also reached out to other people she knows in the company that engage frequently with teams in the US. She's messaged her college professors as well, as she knows that a number of alumni from her college have migrated to the US. Her plan is to get connected with as many professionals in her field as possible, connect with them in person once she's in the US, and build a rapport with as many connections as possible so she can be guided accordingly and stand out when the time to apply for jobs comes.
Remember that unlike US citizens (USC) and legal permanent residents (LPR), your time in the US is limited and bound by the rules set by your visa. So you have to be creative and get ahead in some way. You need to be more prepared and more strategic than USCs and LPRs because you simply do not have the time to dilly dally. Yes, enjoy and savor in the moment of seeing the fruits of your labor, but the hard part begins now. You simply do not have time to waste.

DURING THE PROGRAM

I'm in the US now and working harder than ever! Is there anything more I can do to set myself apart from others?
Other than to make sure you have high grades and you're setting aside time to build professional relationships, it's time to think outside the box. Remember that you are limited by the rules of the F-1 visa, so experiences such as an off-campus summer internship is off limits to you. You will need to find ways to strengthen your resumé that doesn't include working off campus, and that could take many forms. One of the most effective recommendations I've received on this is to do an independent research during the summer--you could do it via a professor whose class you really liked, or if you've made inroads with some of the connections you've been building since getting your visa, have a professor oversee a research project you could do with those connections. (This is still academic work, and many programs will give credit for this, so it is not considered off-campus work under the eyes of USCIS.) You can use your research to really elevate your skills and experiences when applying for jobs.
It's also time to seriously start looking at potential employers. You can use the connections you've built to get a sense of what the professional landscape is for your field, learn about peoples' experiences at various companies and organizations, and get a feel for hiring processes. Remember, you don't have a lot of time to apply for jobs once you near the end of your program, so you have to be armed with the right information to guide your job hunting strategy. You will need to put yourself out there and be the best version of your professional self if you want employers to disregard that they will need to spend more money to hire you rather than a USC or LPR who doesn't need sponsorship.

LAST SEMESTER AND GRADUATION

I'm in my last semester of my program! Any tips?
The last semester is usually job hunting season, so make sure that resumé is polished and your network is activated. By now, if you've done the leg work, you will have a shortlist of potential employers and you will have made connections in most, if not all, of them. Time to check-in and ensure that they know you're interested in joining their company and you'd like their support and guidance in doing so. This is one of the harder parts of this journey, and you have to be relentless. Use all the resources at your disposal to ensure your resumé is seen by as many eyes as possible, and that includes speaking to your professors, especially your favorite ones, so they can also lend a hand.
More importantly: submit your work permit application (more commonly known as OPT) as early as possible to avoid delays and getting stuck in the USCIS backlog. You need this permit to be able to work after graduation for a limited time (one year for graduates of non-STEM programs, with an additional two years for graduates of STEM programs) without needing to immediately require H-1B sponsorship.
Getting employed by a company willing to sponsor you is not the end of the line. All for-profit companies are subject to the H-1B lottery, which means you will be competing with other internationals for the limited number of H-1B visas allotted every year. So even with an employer willing to sponsor, the H-1B visa is still not guaranteed. You can work around this by joining what is a called a cap-exempt organization instead, and USCIS classifies those as institutions of higher education, nonprofit entities related to or affiliated with an institution of higher education, nonprofit research organizations, and governmental research organizations. That means more research, and more targeted strategic networking, given that your employer pool now is limited.

EPILOGUE

The student visa is not an easy or cheap pathway to permanent residency in the US. It is getting harder and harder to beat out USCs and LPRs for great jobs in companies that have the experience and resources to sponsor H-1Bs and GCs. You need to do your research every step of the way and prepare to do some really grueling work in order to be the better investment for these companies. Plus, there is the luck element of the H-1B lottery. But it's not impossible. It can and does happen--my family is a great example of it (we're 3 for 3 in this pathway now). Your preparation and willingness to go the extra mile is critical, and you have to be ready to grind for a while. Rest often only comes when the green card is approved.
For those still considering the student visa pathway to migrate to the US after reading this very long post--good luck, and may the force be with you.
