Nothing compared to David "7 heart transplants" Rockefellar who died this week.

David Rockefeller - $3.3 billion

Vladimir Putin - up to $200 billion

No chance that John.D.Rockefellar has an estimated $500 billion fortune in the 1930's and his grandson has £3 billion today. These guys have the real hidden wealth, the "old money".

I do kind of think Wilhelm Reich himself was very messed up but I'm not totally sure why.
Maybe it's this bit https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wilhelm_Reich

Mark Cuban has talked about buying one of these after he sold his first company in 1990.

John D Rockefeller never had $100B, let alone $500B. The $500B is in today's dollars.

Most of his fortune went to charity, ie his foundation. As families of rich men tend to spend what they inherit as it's broken up among many descendants. In Rockefellers case he had many grandchildren.

Wow pretty ridgy. Sounds like a bunch of back dated chucks batting each other.

I wish I was as powerful as that tree.

I disagree. Here's my read on it. The Sister recognizes she's in a bad situation with the Boyfriend. She tries to talk her into dumping him and getting out. Victim was catatonic that Thursday night as that reality sets in.
The Sister sends the Father to go help. The crash early Sunday morning and Father's call to the boyfriend confirms suspicions.

They conspire to get her out. She bolts Monday, takes I-91 North toward Stowe. For some reason does not take the logical exit onto I-86 but continues North on I-91 (what caused that?). Gets off at the next best route toward Stowe, but instead of going west on 302 heads East? Now 145 miles into the trip may need fuel. I really want to know about when she got fuel, because she crashes again, and the rag in the tailpipe is very suspicious. I'd want to go back and see if there were similar circumstances with the Sunday AM crash.

I'd explore a theory the boyfriend was following her, she stops at some point and he stuffs the rag in the tailpipe, she resumes to travel, but becomes disoriented by the Carbon Monoxide and crashes. Ideally he thought that would kill her, but she survives so he snatches her and kills her.

We now have 13 more years and can see what boyfriend has done in the interim. It could be he's socially well adjusted family man, but if it turns out he has developed a track record of being a whack job, I'd see more evidence pointing toward him.

Can a rag in a tailpipe kill someone? Also, how does boyfriend get completely rid of body, especially in a place that is far away from where he lives. I guess he could have put her body in his car and drove her somewhere else and disposed of her. Seems unlikely to completely get rid of trace evidence of her and I am sure they interviewed him and checked out his car.

The dad told her to put the rag in the tailpipe because the car was spewing smoke and she'd gotten pulled over. That detail is explained.

HeLa Cells.

Taken from a patient without her knowledge, these immortal cervical cancer cells have been in use since 1951. Most cancer cells die within a few days.

I want to copy / paste the entire article. The introduction reads like an opening to some crazy sci-fi book, but it's all real.

Murder of Sherri Rasmussen --

A cold case that took 26 years to solve and reach conviction. The murderer was a love-sick young police officer who eventually became one of the most exclusive detectives in the nation.

It is an interesting read because there was a lot of circumstantial evidence pointing to a female criminal, and specifically, this particular cop. Sherri's dad contacted the police force many times to have her looked at, but it wasn't until the department did review and the old-guard retired that they cracked the case and a possible cover-up.

That was a good one! Killed a half hour.

There was a recent episode of the Casefile podcast on the Rasmussen case if anyone wanted to know more.

Better than that: they climb the trees, eat the nuts, then **** them out and humans make an alternative to olive oil out of them: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Argan_oil

Good stuff. I vaguely recall this case, especially how tough it is to investigate a current law enforcement officer in your own organization.

There's a place called "Sea World" in Shenzhen, China that is sort of the same idea. A land-locked boat that is a hotel / restaurant complex.

I'll let you all do your own research.
