Ingram Content/Fulton Books; The BBB and the Back and Forth

Last night I decided to contact the Better Business Bureau, and I asked them to investigate why Ingram Content is not reporting my book sales from the beginning of this year to my publishing company, Fulton Books.

Fulton Books responded to me by email this morning, and this the back and forth email exchange between us.

I don’t understand why or how this has gotten to this level. It’s very simple. You self-publish with Fulton Books and Ingram Content handles all sales.

When your book is purchased, the sale registers first with Ingram Content, Ingram then, is supposed to update the sale with Fulton Books so the author can get paid.

I know of at least 3 sales for fact (Between March 5th and June 3rd, 2022) that were not updated-meaning Ingram Content did not report them to Fulton Books. I would like to know why, and I would like Fulton Books to contact Ingram Content for the answer.

We’ve been going back and forth since the summer on this issue.

Hi Francis,

We already received your BBB complaint. We will respond appropriately through them as they require us to do so. You will get the same reports from us as you have received in the past. We have never treated you as a liar. We have repeatedly let you know the process of our reports and how Ingram reports them to us, but you are unsatisfied with our answers and treat us as the liars. We have been truthful with you since day one and will remain truthful with the BBB.

Please expect Fulton’s/BBB’s response within the BBB’s standard 15-day period.

Thank you.

Dear Support Staff:

My sales from the beginning of this year (March 5 to June 3rd 2022) are not updating on your Fulton Books sales report.  I asked you why that was during the summer and you told me it was because the sales were actually old and that Amazon purchased a bulk order in 2021.  

I asked to see some type of proof of sales, a receipt, or a sales report that shows that information and you still haven’t provided it.

I asked over and over again for you to contact Ingram Content and ask them why they’re not reporting my sales to you, and you still haven’t done that.

XXXXXX told me my amazon author account was a projection of possible future sales, when that was incorrect.  It’s an accurate description of paper back sales through Amazon and it updates weekly.  It’s not a sales projection chart.  It’s proof that my paperbacks have been selling.  

I sent you a snap shot of my author amazon sales page towards the end of the summer, and you asked me to send it again yesterday.  I work a full time job, I maintain a blog, and I write.  I don’t have the time to do things two and three times.  At some point you have to meet me half way.  I’ve been kind, fair, professional, and patient.

I didn’t know what else to do, so yes, I contacted the BBB to investigate.  

Again, my sales from the beginning of this year didn’t update on your site’s sales report, which means I won’t get paid for those sales.

How long is this going to go on for?  All I asked was for you to call Ingram Content and ask them why. 

Yesterday, I asked you for your name and you still haven’t provided it.  I don’t understand the secrecy.  It’s like you don’t listen to a word I’m saying, you let me talk and your response is never specific.  You keep reading the script over and over and telling me what I already know.  

At some point you have to respond directly to what’s being asked.  After all the money I’ve spent with Fulton Books, I expect to be treated fairly and dealt with accordingly.

Again, Please call Ingram Content and ask them why they aren’t providing you with an updated report of my book sales.  You’re making this an issue between me and Fulton Books and it shouldn’t be.  

Sincerely,

Francis Joseph LaManna

Entering Scorpio, Holding Hands

October 23, 2022

Good morning everyone, today is Sunday, October 23rd, and at 9:50 AM (eastern time) the Sun and Venus entered Scorpio together in the 11th House.

Sun conjunct Venus 0 degrees Scorpio/11th House

The 11th House, which is the home of Uranus and Aquarius, represents our hopes and wishes for the future. The 11th House is also the house of friendships and dreams and goals that are long-term, idealism, and vision.

Traditionally, Scorpio rules the 8th House, The house of death and regeneration, but this morning we found Scorpio occupying the 11th House.

Before I go any further, I would like to share a story about a friend of mine who was in surgery last week to have cancer removed. So far so good, she is in recovery, and waiting for further information. I couldn’t think of a better example of what’s going on right now astrologically with our current alignment between the Sun and Venus in Scorpio.

Because Scorpio rules the 8th House, but was in the 11th House this morning, this represents several things correlating to my friends situation. It’s a reminder of the harsh reality of life, which is that tomorrow is never guaranteed, and it reminds us that we have to put that harsh reality aside and continue living a fulfilling life of good quality. It reminds us that we need to visualize an ideal future for ourselves and plan for it.

The timing for her couldn’t be any better. The Sun is the life force and will of the zodiac, and Venus is the Goddess of love and beauty, who in Sumerian mythology was known as Inanna. Inanna was the Goddess of love, war, fertility, beauty, sex, divine justice. and political power.

I can’t even begin to believe this as Scorpio rules human reproductive organs, which is exactly the part of her body affected. In her birth chart, she has Chiron on the 27th degree of Taurus in the 8th House, and her natal Chiron is in trine with both her natal Sun and Venus. She has Libra rising with a 12th House Sun, and Jupiter is in Scorpio, the sign that occupies the majority of the 11th House. Jupiter is the most benevolent force and he bestows us with good luck, fortune, and expansion.

Last night I burned a candle for her and continue to pray for her recovery. 💕💕🙏

So, this morning…

Together, the Sun and Venus are holding hands as they enter Scorpio. Scorpio is a feminine water sign that’s fixed in quality. The conjunction is powerful, it’s a combination of life force, the will to live, and love in a future house. I can’t help but think of Jesus in this situation, because it was Jesus (the Sun/Son) who was said to be vibrating at the highest frequency level, which is pure love (Venus), and by doing so, was able to conquer death.

We must cast the inevitable aside and remember that life can be full of great things if we’re loving and maintain the will to live. Scorpio (reproduction/sex organs) in the 11th House, reminds us that although the act of sex is highly pleasurable, the ability to have children is one of our greatest gifts. Our children are the future, and the future we visualize for ourselves is one that not only includes them, but it’s one they’ll be carrying forward.

So, as the Sun enters Scorpio and Scorpio season commences, he does so with the Goddess of love by his side.

Both are in a stressful square with Pluto in Capricorn in the 2nd House.

What’s going on here?

Pluto is the planet of regeneration, he looks to eliminate anything and everything that’s no longer useful or preventing growth so we can have a fresh start.

The 2nd House deals with possessions, and Capricorn is reserved, prudent, and patient, and uses cunning instead of force. Capricorn is persistent and determined.

Pluto is creating tension between the Sun and Venus in the 11th House, because he wants a bright future for them. As we move forward with love and the will to live, the removal of anything that doesn’t support that ideal must go.

Sometimes we don’t have a choice, and Pluto shows no mercy when it comes to regeneration.

As we deal with the power of Pluto in the 2nd House, we are to do so with the qualities and characteristics of Capricorn; patient, cunning instead of force, and we must be determined and persistent.

When it comes to the use of intellect over force, we are blessed with a Grand Air Trine between Mars in Gemini, Mercury in Libra, and Saturn in Aquarius.

At the end of the day, we are not to worry. Pluto is tugging at life and love, but Pluto’s trine with Uranus in the 6th House of health and service reinforces that goodness and favorable outcomes are maintained at the highest levels.

The lucky numbers for Scorpio: 2 and 4 (Tomorrow is the 24th)

Lucky Scorpio Day: Tuesday

Lucky Colors: Burgundy and Crimson (Colors of Passion)

It’s an interesting time for sure! Now before I end this, I want to remind everyone that on Tuesday, which is the luckiest day for Scorpio, we have a brand-new moon cycle beginning!

Can you believe it?!?! A new moon in Scorpio that will partially eclipse the Sun.

Symbolically, death and resurrection is what’s on the menu. The universe is giving us an opportunity to start fresh like the legendary Phoenix, or the lotus flower that blossoms into something unbelievably beautiful and perfect after coming up through the harshest conditions.

Enjoy the rest of your Sunday, and happy birthday to all the Scorpios out there!

An Overreaching Example; Pennsylvania Unemployment

Many of us blow off the thought of government overreach, and I guess it’s because most of us are unable to recognize it. Here’s an example.

You’re working for an employer who decides to lay off a portion of their workforce because they don’t have enough work and things are slow.

You’ve been working and paying into the unemployment system so there shouldn’t be any issues claiming a week of pay.

The key words there are shouldn’t be.

If the employees working for the Pennsylvania Unemployment system are asking for information irrelevant to the current claim, that’s government overreach and probably harassment as well.

Where did you work last year? Why did you leave? Why did you leave the other job? When did you work there? What were the dates again? What were the exact dates? And where did you work before that?

If it has no bearing on the current claim, it’s none of their business.

Hundreds of phone calls and hours and hours of conversation, and they’re asking for information irrelevant to the current claim?

And if you don’t play their game and you aren’t nice, then they’ll deny you money from an account you paid into.

Why are we being put in this position?

This type of overreach happens everyday and we don’t even recognize it as such.

Again, Wake Up People.

I wouldn’t be writing about half of the stuff I write about if it wasn’t happening to me or I wasn’t experiencing it first hand some how.

Have a good day and stay positive!

The Divine Feminine

M O O N (13, 2, 2, 1) = 9

According to Occultus 13, my innovative system of numerology, the word MOON equals 18/9.

And if you notice, the word feminine ends with nine (9).

As interesting as all that is, I wanted to share the updated information I have concerning the divine feminine.

The divine feminine is an aspect of our personality known as “sleeping beauty” because we are not aware of it. It’s stuck in a juvenile state until we recover it and redeem it by bringing it into our consciousness (becoming aware of it).

Writing; Independent & Uncensored

It’s important for me to share this with you, my audience. I know people who are authors and who’ve written many books.

When a book is published traditionally, there’s often a list of guidelines and requirements the author must adhere to. Traditional book publishing is big business and it has been for a long time.

The problem with it is that publishing companies (traditional) often have the final say over what gets published, what gets written, how it gets written, and unbelievably, the title of the book itself sometimes.

Traditional publishing, because it’s big business, does not like to stray from what makes them money. They’ll publish a writer, but he can’t write this, and he can’t write that, and he can’t put these pictures in the book, and he can’t call the book this, etc.

Llewellyn, a huge publishing company, chose not to publish my book because it had the word Prophecy in the title. I was shocked considering the type of books Llewellyn publishes, but this is an example of what I’m talking about.

My books are self-published. I wrote them, I edited them, I titled them, and I paid to have them published. This is authorship at the grass roots level.

Two of my books have been published, while one sits next to me complete. Smorgasbord 3 Prophecy and Poverty was complete three months ago, but there’s not much I can do until I save enough money to have it published.

Not only is Smorgasbord 3 complete, but I’m working on fourth book that’s going to be about astrology.

The point I’m trying to make here, is that when you purchase my books, you’re not getting something curtailed for sales. Weather it’s short story fiction, poetry, non-fiction, personal stories, political and religious opinions, you’re getting it in its rawest form.

As a nation of sovereign and free people, this is the type of work you should want to support.

Pop Smoke; Revelations and Closure

I was a huge fan of hip hop during middle and high school. I loved it, and my friends and I used to freestyle while we were hanging out. We had a lot of good times and lots of good memories. Then, for some reason I stopped listening to it.

Years went by. I don’t know what it is, maybe it has to do with being young and what I was doing at the time.

Anyway, that’s another story for another time. I was driving to work a while ago and Dior came on the radio, and for the first time in a long time, I had an interest in hip hop again.

Then, he was murdered. I was shocked, twenty years old with his whole life ahead of him. At the time I didn’t know much about him or the details surrounding his murder, but for some reason, both have been weighing heavy on my mind the last two days.

February 19, 2023, it will be three years since the death of Bashar Barakah Jackson, AKA, Pop Smoke, so at this point, as 2022 comes to a close and the waning gibbous moon winds down in Gemini, the planet communication, I guess the Universe wanted to share some things with me during this time of closure.

Yesterday, I did a little research to get some information, but I couldn’t help it, I felt the push to research yesterday, and again tonight to write this before bed.

And of course all the synchronicities began. I was shown several things in the astrological event chart of the moment.

Before I get into that, I was looking at the chart and I said to myself, “this looks familiar.” In a way it was similar to chart I just looked at for the Romania reading with Capricorn rising on the ascendant.

Okay..

Los Angeles, California 4:00 AM, Wednesday, February 19, 2020.

Mars in the 12th house: You keep your deep and secret feelings hidden from the world; strong intuitive powers. Good: Imaginative Bad: danger from secret enemies.

The 12th house is the most mystical of all houses, and it’s known as The House of Secrets and The House of Karma. This is the house where the energy manifests into disappointments, accidents, trouble, and self-defeat. This is known as the house of karma because this where we’re rewarded or punished for our deeds.

Also in the 12th House was Pallas Athena. Pallas, for those who aren’t familiar, is an asteroid, but asteroids are a big part of my personal method for analyzing charts.

Pallas Athena was an ancient Greek Goddess associated with war, wisdom, and handicraft. She is the protectress of city states and is usually seen holding a spear and wearing a helmet. She was also known as a warrior goddess who led soldiers into battle, and the Parthenon was dedicated to her.

So, in the 12th House, we had Mars alerting us to danger from secret hidden enemies, and Pallas, the Goddess of war.

Pallas was one of 12 Olympians, and Pop’s Air B&B was in the Mount Olympus section of Hollywood Hills.

Interesting, and before doing any further reading about the murder incident, I said to myself, “there must be a female involved in this.”

I said that after seeing Pallas in the 12th and Vesta in the 4th, I had a hunch, and it was true.

The 4th House is what I was shown next. The 4th House is the house of home. It also represents the mother and the deepest most private place we retreat to when we mediate or pray.

I saw Vesta in the 4th, the Goddess of Hearth and home, and I saw Uranus. Uranus is the unpredictable revolutionary freedom fighter. Uranus provides flashes of insight, and it awakens us for change. What’s unique about Uranus is that he doesn’t care what the awakening causes because his job is to keep things moving on the right path. We may perceive Uranus to be good or bad, but according to him, his will must be done. Whatever needs to happen for the future and for progression, that’s Uranus.

Whenever I’m looking at a chart for a murder I always look to see what Pluto is doing, and of course, Pluto was in a very stressful aspect with Uranus. The square between Uranus and Pluto is known to cause dramatic upheaval.

Now don’t get me wrong, Pluto is not all bad. When the energy of Pluto is positive we see people reaching the highest heights in business and finding great success. Pluto is also responsible for that deep digging of truth and facts. He likes to bring whatever is hidden to surface. When Pluto is in poor aspect or expressed negatively we get the other extreme, murder, riots, wars, and upheaval.

In this chart, unfortunately, Pluto’s aspect to Uranus was adverse and we saw the negative side of both Pluto and Uranus manifest negatively. It was Pluto in the first house in Capricorn (the house of self and Capricorn the sign of career and public standing) squared Uranus in the 4th House in Taurus. Taurus rules the second house, which is the house of possessions. The second house is about what we own and what we value. Money also associated with the second house and Taurus.

So, that square between Pluto and Uranus pretty much told us the story and what was involved. Home, possessions (handbags purse money watch), career, public standing, the self, the possibility of upheaval, conflict, and awakening. In hindsight, this is spot on accurate. Mars told us the threat of secret enemies was present, and Pallas prepared us for the possibility of war.

The last thing I was shown was the picture below.

Page 127 Alchemy and Mysticism, Alexander Roob

I began writing this article at 11:33. The address number of place where the murder occurred was 2033. In numerology, we don’t use 0 because it’s a place holder, but from the time I started writing, which was 11:33, 1+1=2. So it’s 233 (11:33) and 233 (2033). Pop Smoke was 20.

If you look at the writing on the right side of the picture several words should stick out;

Dawn (the murder took place at dawn between 4 and 4:30 AM)

Hercules was the street name

Remains as physical residue on the floor He was found laying on the floor after being shot.

Roses Amelia Rose was the girl he apparently met that night who was said to be laying in his bed at the time of the break in.

Air He was staying at an Air B&B.

This was so sad, and Pop smoke died so young at the age of 20. God has shown me many things tonight concerning this incident, which I understood to be about Revelation and closure. With this picture he was showing and telling me that Pop Smoke was a good person with an incorruptible spirit. Usually when young men and woman die early we believe they’ve fulfilled their purpose here and it’s time for them to move on.

From what I’ve been studying about life after death and resurrection, this image was to verify the soul or divine essence of Bashar Barakah Jackson has risen and returned home to rest in the light of the divine creator we call God. He was not lost or wandering in darkness, he came here with a purpose and his purpose was complete.

After the picture, I turned the lights down, lit a candle, and went into a mediation. During the mediation I was told the girl knew the driver and that rang true.

And there it is. This overwhelming interest and push to investigate and write about Pop Smoke over the last two days is complete and I can rest.

In closing, I tell everyone all the time. The internet is not safe. You never know who your talking to. Be careful what you post and be careful who you surround yourself with. Unfortunately, some things are unpreventable, but we can do our best to avoid a lot if we pay attention and act with common sense.

Thanks for reading and thanks for visiting Nooz Buffet.

Info Wars Host Faces Excessive Fines

The Lawsuit against Alex Jones is now up to $1 Billion!!!!!!! I’m confused here, was he the shooter? And not only that, but the writer of an article published on Yahoo referred to him as a conspiracy peddler. WOW, talk about getting kicked when your down. It’s sad, and you know something,

I can’t help but think there’s still a lot of animosity towards him for the donations he collected for the representation of Kyle Rittenhouse. Kylie Rittenhouse was right in his self-defense actions and it cost millions to keep him out of jail. That whole thing showed the rest of us that if you don’t have political connections in your family, you better have a lot of money. Alex Jones was never a conspiracy peddler, he was a force against evil.

Astrology, Planetary Discovery, & Digging for Answers

If there’s a 10th or a 12th or a 3rd or a whatever planet missing, that if found could unlock the key to this whole mystery, then, perhaps we’re not digging deep enough.

What do I mean?

Well, if you haven’t realized it yet, every time the discovery of a new planet is announced, we coincidentally discover the comparable element.

What do I mean?

PLANET/DISCOVERYELEMENT/DISCOVERY
Pluto/1930Plutonium/1940
Uranus/1781Uranium/1789
Neptune/1846Neptunium/1940
my table

All of these elements are radioactive, and like we found out yesterday in our post “I Might Be on to Something Here,” electromagnetic radiation in the form of radio waves is broadcasting from Sagittarius A near our Galactic Center.

Wouldn’t it be something if our galaxy was quite literally a cosmic dance? Radio active planets powered by radio waves.

Getting back to my point, if there’s a 12th Planet, then the keys to finding it are probably buried within our earth.

This is somewhat unrelated, but super interesting. The roots of astrology have been traced all the way back to 5,000 B.C. to 3,000 B.C. with Vishnu, the reigning god of Hinduism, the sun incarnate, and their most divine being.

The Sun has it’s element, and that’s gold. According to Wikipedia, gold was discovered in the Middle East before 6,000 BCE.

Do we dare to say astrology began with the discovery of gold?

And what about the Moon and its relationship to silver? Wikipedia said silver was discovered before 5000 B.C. So, first we dug and found gold, and our sun was brought into visibility. Then, we dug some more, and our moon was visible.

Copper is said to be the first element discovered, and copper is associated with Venus. As a matter of fact before gold and silver were found, we found copper (Venus) and lead (Saturn).

I find it amazingly interesting that Venus and Saturn are the two planets spoken about between Thoth Hermes Trismegistus and the Great Dragon when the most important secrets concerning life after death and our Galaxy were revealed. It was said that the secrets to reincarnation, or coming back with an awakened memory and full awareness of a previous life is connected to Venus. The Great Dragon said our Milky Way Galaxy was the seed ground of stars that Saturn returns souls to after death without memory. The Milky Way is a prison for souls and Saturn is the warden.

I might be on to Something Here

At the center of our Milky Way Galaxy is the Galactic Center. And within that center or somewhere close to it, is Sagittarius A. Coming from Sagittarius A is electromagnetic radiation in the form of radio waves. There are frequency waves coming from the center of our galaxy.

Is the serpent held by Ophiuchus really a serpent? Maybe it’s a symbolic representation of the frequency waves from the Galactic Center.

Is harnessing the power of the sun waiting for the sun the align perfectly with the Galactic Center? A combination of electromagnetic and solar radiation?

And what about the moon? Our moon is a satellite that’s tidally locked with our earth. That means it spins on its axis exactly once for each time it orbits the earth in 27.322 days. We call this motion synchronous rotation and because of it we only get to see one side of the moon.

Is the tidal lock between the moon and our earth keeping us in some form of metal prison? Is it responsible for the synchronicities we see throughout our day? How can we see the other side of the moon? Is there an extra day, a brief moment, a small window, or even a special sun alignment that would grant us a glimpse of what we never see?

What if the moon, after reaching full illumination, turned back on its rotation instead of moving forward? We would surely see the other side then. The problem is that as soon as it completes its orbit around earth, it also completes its axial rotation. It’s like someone is working a clock that’s counting down backwards. 10, 9, 8, 7, 6, 5, 4, 3, 2, 1, but before it reaches zero, the man resets the clock to 10.

Is the moon a satellite we control?
