TELEKINESIS
On May 1, 1903, an African-American man named Will West entered the United States Penitentiary at Leavenworth. Like any other new prisoner, West was subjected to the standard admission procedure: prison clerks took photographs, a physical description, and eleven anthropometric measurements.
Using West’s measurements and description, identification clerks matched him to the record of William West, who had a previous conviction for murder. Not surprisingly, in the clerks’ view, West denied that he was this man.
The discovery of Will West’s past conviction must have seemed routine to the Leavenworth clerks: once again, the world-famous Bertillon system of identification had prevented a criminal from escaping his past. Once again, science had exposed a criminal’s lies and evasions.
This incident suddenly deviated from the usual, however, when the clerks discovered to their amazement that this same William West was already incarcerated at Leavenworth!
According to authors Harris Hawthorne Wilder and Bert Wentworth (1918): “From the Bertillon measurements thus obtained, [the record keeper] went to the file, and returned with the card the measurements called for, properly filled out…and bearing the name, “William West.” This card was shown to the prisoner, who grinned in amazement, and said,
“That’s my picture, but I don’t know where you got it, for I know I have never been here before.” The record clerk turned the card over, and read the particulars there given, including the statements that this man was already a prisoner at the same institution, having been committed to a life sentence on September 9, 1901, for the crime of murder.
The second West was summoned, and he looked startlingly like the first one. Subsequently, the fingerprints of Will West and William West were compared. The patterns bore no resemblance.
The fallibility of three systems of personal identification (photographs, Bertillon measurements, and names) was demonstrated by this one case. The value of fingerprints as means of identification was established.
The warden, R. W. McClaughry, according to the legend, declared, “This is the death of Bertillonage!” and discontinued anthropometry as Leavenworth “the very next day.”
After the Will West-William West case, most police departments began using photographs, Bertillon measurements, and fingerprints on their mugshot files. Eventually, the Bertillon system was discarded.
The William and Will West story is somewhat sensationalized and omits prison record information, uncovered by later researchers, indicating that William and Will West both corresponded with the same family members and thus were probably related.
Prison records also cite that Leavenworth inmate George Bean reported that he knew William and Will West in their home territory before prison and that they were twin brothers.
Their exact relationship is still unknown. What is factual is that the two West men were not unusual; many people have similar anthropometric measurements.
It is generally accepted that identical twins will have the same or almost the same anthropometric measurements, yet easily differentiated fingerprints. The superiority of fingerprints over anthropometry is thus clear.
Regardless of how crucial the incident was to the adoption of fingerprinting, the men’s prison records—including their almost identical mug shots, matching Bertillon measurements, and mismatched fingerprints—survive to authenticate an amazing coincidence.
Will West, the newer of the two Leavenworth inmates, served his manslaughter sentence and left no trail after his release, thus disappearing from history.
William West, the lifer, spent time in solitary confinement for fighting and creating disturbances during his early years behind bars. He was released on parole in 1919, but not before making a dash for freedom.

A thread.
Disclosure just happened. We are not alone. We have never been, alone.
United States Air Force officer David Grusch just stated under oath in a public hearing in front of distinguished Members of Congress that the U.S. is in possession of multiple (not one) non-human intelligence cadavers and multiple (not one) non-human technological flying craft.
Today's hearing was unprecedented and historic. Planet Earth learned today that we are not the only intelligent beings in the Universe.
Today the planet has learned officially that the U.S. has known about these "non-human intelligences" since the 1930s.
Sworn testimony included a flying "black cube inside a clear sphere." A "hovering red square, the size of a football field". Objects going from zero to Mach 2 in the snap of a finger. From 12,000 feet to 80,000 feet (which is SPACE) in the snap of a finger. All of this is documented and recorded. According to all three sworn witnesses today, there is not a single nation on Earth that could potentially own this type of technology because, according to today's testimony, our planet hasn't yet achieved the structural material to manufacture an object that can withstand an instantaneous acceleration from zero to Mach 2 in the snap of a finger. Today's materials would disintegrate.
Today's testimony of course reminds me of the ancient Vimana and Stupa and Ratha stories of the ancient Vedic texts of India which report of countless of these flying chariots having the capability of being in multiple places at once and disappearing in an instant.
Today's testimony also mentioned that no human pilot could survive such instant acceleration from zero to Mach 2. Maybe some Vimana-type antigravity technology could potentially solve this problem?
Unless we've all just been duped and deceived by a bunch of crazy people, Disclosure just happened in today's congressional hearing.
Today, Planet Earth learned that we are not the only intelligent beings in the Universe.
This is so ridiculously exciting.
AND! Such a pleasure to meet you!
The economy explained ... all over the world. I died laughing listening to this.

The thing about true legends, the absolute best of the best historically, is they somehow always find themselves in these moments, no matter the stage of their career, and just deliver. Over and over again.
