well thanks again everybody for coming to this i have dedicated this presentation to everyone in america also all the you tube burgers and the researchers out there and my friends and people who sent me e mails everybody was talking about sandy hook for a while it has quieted down but it tends to surface again from time to time there's all kinds of new legislation that is brought out that is being considered and then finalized so thank you for being away and this presentation is entitled unraveling sandy hook into three four and five the guy in the video says i have not seen a single crime scene photo but you can fill in the blank a single child's body bloodstain devastated parent there are many seriously missing pieces to what happened at sandy hook and they do not seem to be showing up they should have been there that day instead other pieces with their departures from what would have been normal in such a situation three hundred years ago sandy hook was a tiny mill town on the river built with a new town in fairfield county connecticut today newtown is a bedroom community or a commuter town for people who work in the bigger coastal cities of stamford bridge port fairfield norwalk and even manhattan sandy hook is a very small part of newtown on the other side of interstate eighty four one visitor described it as a place that you could cover on foot in thirty minutes fairfield county today is one of the most affluent places to live in america it has trendy shops and restaurants and new housing subdivisions my first job w fairfield county i used to live on the state line between new york and southern connecticut where westchester county meets fairfield i would run and ride my bike for miles on beautiful country roads flanked by the low stone walls and rolling meadows of huge estates with long driveways up to houses that were targeted like castles fairfield county has since changed new wells has come in with new faces new ethnicities and new names the old wealth of the original new england blue bloods you might call them is being replaced by the new generation of a new dynasty those who succeeded in the mercantile trades in new york city moved out of the boroughs of brooklyn the bronx in queens to raise children in the suburbs who would grow up to be doctors lawyers and brokers on wall street nassau county on long island was their first destination westchester county just north of the bronx was the next and the last and most coveted place to live in was fairfield connecticut with its old money rolling hills and sumptuous estates many of which have been chopped into smaller tracts now with garish homes built right along the roadside to show status new england connecticut being it southern most states has also always had a working class salt of the earth people whose forebears where the militiamen of the american revolution the rivers harbors and natural resources of connecticut and its many inventors turned it from farming toward manufacturing and by the late one thousand nine hundred so with the advent of the assembly line connecticut was known worldwide for its precision workmanship pistols for the us government were supplied by america's first gun manufacturers in middletown home to colt in remington connecticut was where the american firearms industry was born and a new town itself you will find the national shooting sports foundation headquarters one of the largest gun lobby's in the country and that is the reality that brings us to the story of a village in a town with a school that saw a shooting catastrophe one week before the sole status of solstice is in december two thousand and twelve some of you may already know a lot about the anomalies of sandy hook so to keep it interesting i'm going to take a different tack the story created by and in our media has so many in consistencies that one has to seriously question the skills of those in the media or one has to ask how such conflicting reports could emerge from one true story and one has to ask how such reported events could take place in a physical world that can't accommodate the things that supposedly occurred at sandy hook for instance a lightweight twenty year old youth carrying multiple firearms managing them changing magazines and accurately consecutively shooting twenty six people between three and eleven times each in a matter of five to seven minutes men who are much bigger with extensive weapons experience and proficiency skills say they themselves could have hardly done what adam lanza did a little target practice with mom does not produce twenty six victims in five to seven minutes the sandy hook story delivered by way of television news television interviews and print media exists in what i will call two dimensions the flat world of printed paper and the screen it is a vibrant noisy and colorful world that feels and looks real and we've been trained since childhood to connect with to be stimulated by and to be informed by this to the world the story in two d can take on all kinds of flavors our larger than life big screen movies bring us closer than we could ever be in real life to looming characters and their situations the person projected on this screen is much larger than real life we allow to the stories to have tremendous impact on us they are made with tools and technologies and we know very well that they are staged they are created as simulations of reality and we enjoy them fully for that we participate in the fiction by suspending our active awareness of it and getting into the story but when we finish watching a movie on television and switch to the news we ingest those stories in a different way from the film we just saw we separate the news from the movie when we turn the channel on the t v we also turn the channel in our brains however news footage is edited just like film footage is editing is really piecing a story together to make it clear and efficient in moving making scenes do not have to be shot in sequence the story is written or created then it's filmed and then it's put together in the editing room in a way that feels rich in real the physical world the space we occupy is what i will call three d it has certain rules big small heavy light dark wet night day the sandy hook elementary school is a place you can visit today it's on the map you can walk up to the fence that blocks it off you can take a picture of it so it exists in the third dimension and event the size of sandy hook involving multiple people and injuries is known in emergency talk as an m c i or mass casualty incident sandy hook wasn't in c i a bus turning over is an m c i when first responders arrive at an m c i they use a protocol that is known worldwide as start trying to sort start stands for simple treat and rapid treatment accident victims are assessed by physical presentation breathing vital s coherence the ability to stand or walk and they are tagged red which means they need immediate treatment yellow delayed green minor and black would be deceased victims  put on colored tarps and transported from the scene in that order here are start tarps and an example of the tag which is put around the neck or a limb while we did see start tarps on the day of sandy hook they were empty the white mounds you see in these pictures are actually emergency gear ambulance crews learned that no bodies were coming out they would be kept in the building to which only the police had access ambulances were made to wait down the street at the firehouse this is what was posted on an internet forum about the emergency response at sandy hook i'm going to read it to you the main sticking point is the e m s services did not behave within their normal scope a mass shooting would have had trauma helicopters flying children out one after another performing c p r the entire way to the hospital and patients would be declared dead at the hospital after extensive measures were taken to try to save lives i've been in the e r for five years and we get all code blue patients we get eighty year old nursing home patients that have not been breathing for twenty minutes with no chance of survival and we perform c p r and necessary medical intervention with the chance that patients may regain a pulse a few months ago i had a conversation with a couple of e m t they told me everybody uses start when there is an m c i they told me in exactly these words the police cannot pronounce people dead we can't pronounce anyone dead unless they're decapitated and it's totally obvious we have to take everyone to the hospital that's where they pronounce them dead the police don't have the author or t v we don't have the author or t v dr h wayne carver has been connecticut's chief medical examiner since one nine hundred eighty nine the office of the chief medical examiner is an independent agency that investigates sudden unexpected or violent deaths in the state of connecticut thousands of people have seen the interview dr carver did for the press on december fifteenth just after the shootings occurred james tracy a media studies professor at florida atlantic university wrote an article about this interview that went viral what he noticed immediately was dr carver strange behavior reflecting discomfort nervousness and even a bizarre lack of knowledge of what he had just done which was to personally examine the sandy hook bodies listen to ho i've been at this for a third of the century and it's my sensibilities may not be the average man but this probably is the worst i have seen the question was what caliber were these bullets and i know i probably know more about firearms than most pathologists but if i sit in court they yell at me and don't make me answer so i let the police  i don't know there were lots of them mean by i hope they and i hope the people of newtown don't have it crash on their head later and why was it decided that the parents would not be permitted to physically identify their dead children which is an extreme departure  not only from protocol but from instinctive parental behavior and nature it is unthinkable to most parents to simply be told by authorities that their child was in a massacre and is never coming back wouldn't parents want to see the red jacket the blue pants the little blond head the pink sneakers regardless of the injuries just to make sure we had empty triage mats and a glimpse of one huge body bag thought to be too large for any reported victim of the shooting so i decided to look for besides just names verifiable victims here's a compilation of footage of one woman obviously got the alligator set up right here behind the camera there kevin flowers take you along as you see one of the injured people i didn't get a look at the kind of injuries we're talking about here but that is one of the few casualties we've seen wife was one of them who hid in the closet for hours but they waited on the walking wounded no one came word out that we would no one else would become you know the  i helped a lady get out of her car says the fire chief so this woman drove in her own car with gunshot wounds from the sandy hook shooting keep that in mind  reports that only two people survived and we learned that assistant principal natalie hammond who seems to have made an astonishing recovery was one of them there were only two people who were shot that day in that school who were not killed only two people injured and not killed both of them were hit at that point in the attack that initial point one teacher who was in a meeting room with the principal and the psychologist was hit by a ricochet bullet from that initial onslaught of gunfire she was wounded in the leg but she crawled back into the meeting room and she called nine one one e r dr william bag was on duty at danbury hospital and danbury was designated by the state to handle i danbury hospital i want you to know was only twelve miles from sandy hook i would like to ask you this question did you actually treat sandy ok so i'll say it again danbury hospital was only twelve miles from sandy hook and though the sirens went off at nine thirty five and there were ambulances glor we learned from the huffington post that only three victims arrived at the hospital at ten thirty a whole hour of delay why did it take one hour to transport three victims only twelve miles the only other report of an actual victim i was able to find is this one posted on december fifteenth chris voss resident of sandy hook and also an off duty reading police officer carries a limp injured boy into a waiting ambulance at the firehouse so there are the three let's look at the strangely complacent even smiling parents who are showing a whole new kind of grief after the deaths of their children skepticism rang loud and long all across the internet how could anyone believe these parents had lost their six year olds they did not devastated where was the outrage at the failure of the recently ramped up skew school security system to stop or even capture video of the person who got into the school visitors to sandy hook after the shooting saw a camera on the wall at the entrance but on the day of the shooting it wasn't there so where you see the yellow arrow is the camera after december fourteenth and then in the new shooting where you see the circle there is no camera we were told about other suspects running through the woods that morning one heading straight for the masonic lodge only a kangaroo jumped away from sandy hook this person dressed in camouflage no less was caught and let go because he said he was a parent and he didn't do it he was reported to be chris manfred donia and his address thirty five charter ridge drive is directly behind the lan d story from the l a times is this chris mann for donya who six year old daughter attends the school was heading there friday morning to help make gingerbread houses with first graders when he heard popping sounds and smell sulfur he ran around the school trying to reach his daughter and was briefly handcuffed by police in the third dimension the real world why would a parent dress in camouflage to make gingerbread houses with little children unless he planned to run through the woods later so i'm going to suggest here that certain players may have been brought into the real world three d setting beforehand to mix into it and create the event strangely lots of people in the sandy hook story were new to town new town a great blog sandy hook truth dot wordpress dot com tells us that many of the houses around sandy hook elementary were bought on december twenty fifth two thousand and nine that's christmas day they are now sold up for sale and or foreclosure the parkers had moved from albany utah eight months prior the lanzas had returned the wheeler family was new the market is greens hensel richmond's were new even a caller to diane sawyer said she and her family were new arrivals new town is known as a destination town one reason was the sandy hook elementary school considered a vanguard school for its progressiveness you will hear that parents moved to newtown just so their children could go to sandy hook in the two d script that only adds to the tragedy but in the three d setting it may have a very different meaning newtown is what is called a transition town it has its own transition website a transition town is a place where community led protocols help people become stronger and happier especially in the face of crisis so a new town may well be a model town for america with certain people having moved there for strategic reasons many of you are familiar with agenda twenty one officially revealed at the united nations earth summit in one thousand nine hundred two agenda twenty one is a vast platform designed to move the world into uniformity and sustainability the transition model described on this new town website called for quote using our creativity and cooperation to unleash the collective genius within our local communities which will lead to a more abundant connected and healthier future for all so let's go back to dimensions for a minute the way i look at it in the universe a speck a locus a pin point is the first dimension a dot is a dot microscopic just marking a location in the giant infinity in the second dimension that  something measurable about it length in which no matter how small it is in the third dimension that dot is a sphere a tiny ball it has a z axis along with x and y height width and you could say that the third dimension is the static space where things exist the physical properties of things in the third dimension are determining factors in their capabilities example a man who weighs three hundred pounds will likely break a chair made for a very small child a plastic fork cannot pierce through a coconut jet fuel fires could not melt the steel frames of the twin towers a lightweight like adam lanza couldn't shoot that many people in the time frame and with the weapons he was said to be carrying the fourth dimension is physical space with something going on in it an object moving a series of actions that can be perceived we could call it the moving perceivable universe some also say it contains the property of time in our diagram the third dimension deals with physical properties the fourth dimension incorporates the world of physical properties along with the movement each dimension brings with it the last one and goes beyond so the fourth has everything in the third dimension plus movement and the perception of movement because that's how we experience it the third dimension is static the fourth dimension is dynamic back to sandy hook here we see lynn mcdonnell mother of child victim grace mcdonnell giving an interview only days after her daughter's death and with her hands and i was with them since people that loved her and that's i think the whole community in the school and the teachers they all they're all raising your child and it's a special place for this and i take comfort that she was with all her friends and i just invision all of them holding hands and they're they're all together up there and they're up there with their wonderful principal i mean they they have so many people up there helping and i said to somebody you just sandy hook we have so many angels and so many bright stars shining over all of us in this town right now you went to the funeral  it just felt like the floor was falling out beneath you and your breath was taken away but earlier in the morning i decided because grace loved art so much we were packing sharpies in our pockets and when we got in  after we did our big family hug with grace we sat down and we busted out the sharpies and we decided that we were a first side addition to maybe a little heart but by the time we were done there wasn't an inch of white it was so covered with all the things that she loved and her brother we wrote her notes and her nicknames and all the things that she loved to have been so you know the ice cream cones lighthouses siegel's and we were saying she is laughing at us right now because our artwork was terrible ok no note that these are closed casket these are not open caskets at these funerals except for one so the father of emilie parker was caught on hand held camera laughing as he stepped up to the microphone and getting into character like actors do when he made a public statement about his daughter's death it was this video that got out there causing so many people to question the identities and motives of the visible sandy hook parents who seem way too complacent and accepting of the violent killings just days or even hours before their public interviews many have remarked on the absence of real tears the swollen eyes puffy faces and red noses we should have seen crying called lakra mation is a physiological adaptation responds to dramatic circumstances or a welling of emotions there is a direct connection between tear ducts and the limbic system in the brain the migdal of being the part of the brain that triggers physiological reactions to emotional situations crying is actually a coping response releasing toxins and lowering stress people lose composure when they cried the need to lessen their emotional load being so strong that they don't care how they look or even behave fluid from the lacrimosa glands better known as tears runs copiously overflowing into the nasal passages heart rate increases as does sweating and the gasping reflex may be to regulate or increase airflow and oxygen we are literally drowning in a sea of fluids all in all crying is often beyond our control and when it comes to the loss of a beloved we remain in its grip for da ok now these are pictures of the mcdonald's and friends with their mouth blurred out in live t v footage aired on december fourteenth that incident below you see the blurring it's a close up here is another close up both pictures from december fourteenth you've got above the crying and the distress and below the very day the smiles here we have lynn mcdonnell on december fourteenth agitated and then in her interview only a few days later what are we perceiving here what is the fourth dimension telling us the fourth dimension includes our perception our experience of the third so let's apply some perception to this parents who rushed to the firehouse to pick up their kids are not dressed in professional clothes yet newtown was a commuter town no high heels no suits just sweatshirts t shirts parkas in jeans although robert cape parker his full name was supposed to be a physician's assistant you can find information about him as a professional on the internet other than that in here in his t shirt in jeans he looks like he's running in a ten k family photos of the parkers here's one that appeared on facebook i call it the christmas photo look at the two little girls and robbie parker's lap what caught my attention was their legs look closely madeleine on her father's right knee is sitting shifted to the right and the younger samantha is straddled but where the girls legs they have somehow been morphed into their father's trousered pants fathers trousered legs samantha's left leg appears to be there in white stockings that's the little one but her right leg looks like a napkin madeline's legs are simply not the robbie parker's knees are too high in too big and too round so what happened to the girl's legs the three d of this picture just doesn't work so you have to ask where those girls ever in his lap was that picture in a real setting and if so why is it altered here's another family picture an earlier one supposedly if you look at the grass in the foreground it's in focus until you get to the area in front of emily who's sitting to the left of her father the grass is now transparent through it you can see emily shoe and if you look at emily's legs the positioning just doesn't work how could anyone fit like that it's supposed to pass for a cross legged but the angles of the limbs aren't right her right knee should be up against robbie's left leg but it's not there and her left leg is not attached to her body in the correct spatial relationship so in three d was she ever there or has she been inserted here is another weirdness look at robbie parker's hair i've given you a close up we're looking at an overlay of some sort th facebook robbie clearly has standing here robbie in the sunset picture is supposed to be younger and you can see a dark layer or mask added to the top of his head and the demarcation line between his real hair and the fake hair or more hair for a younger look and i did a little scribble in the lower right so you could see kind of what was done victoria soto and and mary murphy were two of the six adults who died not only are there huge contradictions in the stories of how the survivors of miso does classes gaped their glaring issues with this photo including the very low resolution which is meant to conceal look at the disparity in hands soto's hand is like a pall with blurring to extend the sleeves hands are very very hard to fake they have so many small bones in folds of flesh that even the painters of old had to make them simple and smooth the hand on the other side belonging to an re mercy is better but if you look at the pixelation even that isn't right so let's go to and marie herself we learned from new york news day that she was fifty two when she died sh arms here's an marie in the first grade class picture on the lower right taken in two thousand and twelve and on the left you see her from a memorial video well if she died in two thousand and twelve and they put up a memorial video is this and marie murphy age fifty two in both pictures is it even the same woman the soto family was very public about mourning that toria and let's look at a couple of those pictures can you see that these are all separate people install together against a background of water notice the different kinds of rocks the shadows going in different directions you can see a straight line there between victoria seated on a white rock with a lot of light reflected from it and then there's a gray rock right next to that and absolutely straight line in between this is the soto family at a table together victoria is inserted she is staring into space she is literally not there her eyes have a different focal point than everyone else so did she even know this family of hers adam lanza's being called a kid who slipped through the cracks the to the story is a special needs child who became addicted to violent video games and guns let's stick with the to the world for a minute the press's favorite photo of adam lan is adam the young adult it is so lacking in detail that it looks like a crude painting even the college id from western connecticut state university isn't a proper photograph the top right photo looks like a real boy from whom the more adult composites might have been created pictures of nancy and there are very few on the internet except from an afternoon on a sailboat in a backless paisley dress comparing nancy to pictures of the young adam they look like they could be related mother and son and here is older brother ryan lanza on facebook left and younger pictures which look a lot like the young adam overall there were very few photos of the lanzas to examine internet searches yield very little in the way of information adam was a computer geek who left no internet trail neighbors say the house on yogananda street was a kind of black hole devoid of activity this is translated by the media to mean private nancy lanza was private she didn't let anyone come near adam adam was anti social according to the to the story he didn't like to be touched and he resisted sealand according to the p b s special raising adam lanza made the fatal error of moving him from school to school thus introducing too much change in his life and so he flipped looking at the ryan lan pictures closely it seems to me that the newest one does not belong in the sect that's the bigger one from facebook you cannot get that adult from that child in terms of physical maturation the faces are just not the same so that to the story takes a leap here but it's not enough to register with the public who saw this brother get arrested and learned that it was the wrong brother therefore the other brother was the shooter isn't it amazing how the press is so quick to report the wrong information and then quickly correct their mistake what this kind of error and rectification does is simply to underscore that there was a shooter just like catching a suspect in the woods who was mistakenly thought to be deception shooter cements the story of the one and only shooter adam lanza very skillfully this is how the reality of the established in our minds this is how they shape perception this is how they work the fourth dimension just out of curiosity because i like to look at faces here's peter lanza sitting with ryan on the steps peter's on the left ryan is supposedly on the right so who is the guy they arrested in hoboken where is his wavy hair maybe there was only one lanza son who has now disappeared just like his mother private investigators susan daniels has found no social security number issued for adam p lanza and the social security death index has him dead on december thirteenth a day early the lands as are one of the visible families who have moved off the stage and are completely silent allowing the media to describe them and speak for them is peter lanza being protected is he a real person where's the are the you tube the parents who have suffered loss railing against mr lanza instead we see the transition towner's extending condolences valley not to bear a grudge creating new missions of love and strength in the name of their departed children it sounds good but in the fourth dimension it doesn't feel real if the fourth dimension includes our perception let's see what we think of this this is dr william bag again from medical staff here danbury hospital i'm with the newly formed group of united physicians in newtown that formed in response to the december fourteenth shootings e m s medical director for newtown and this region and i'm an ear doctor that was of research so i had to go overseas for research in dunblane scotland in ninety six dunblane scotland ninety six and of twenty nine first graders were shot at their himself what are those legislators do they have over a ten year period between eighty eight and ninety six i guess that's eight years day and acted real legislation what i'm asking for as you consider a stronger assault ban assault weapons ban elimination the sale of automatic semiotic weapons restriction this size of magazine clips number rounds extend background checks and also please let us do some going to research that's real from the mental health side the risks of gun violence please dr big introduces to a swell of applause is not just gun control but mental health protocols which thanks to sandy hook will undoubtedly increase we will see an explosion of experts and social workers who will assess us evaluate us and permit us not just to own guns but to own and care for our children the media tells us that adam lanza had a sensory processing disorder his mother made the wrong decisions she produced a tragedy the result of her mistakes took the lives of many other children six adults her sons and her own what could be more awful than that if society had just been set up the right way it could have all been prevented if the fourth dimension is one movement and all movements as they happen one at a time then the fifth dimension is the set of all movements of any one thing over its life the fifth dimension is the past the present and the future the push for increased gun control measures and mental health protocols is a fifth dimensional operation known very well to all of you as he gaily and dialectic problem reaction so lucian create a problem the public has a strong reaction and propose the solutions it's all about periodic results as we are moved slowly toward the goals so people get used to the increased heat and pressure just like the frog who is being very slowly boiled now we can see why strict gun control was allowed to fail we will have strict mental health measures instead which people will not object to as much as they did gun control we will see the merging of mental health with gun control in the form of more mental health centers better treatment for mental illness and training professionals to detect early signs of mental problems in may two thousand and thirteen the palm beach county sheriff's got a million dollars from the state budget for a violence prevention unit to train deputies mental health professionals and caseworkers to respond to citizen phone calls with a knock at the door this is about acting on tips to prevent calamities like sandy hook the goal said sheriff rick bradshaw will be avoiding crime and making sure law enforcement knows about potential powder kegs before tragedies occur it is the new tradition of good citizenry the people becoming extensions of the agencies we are all by now aware of the strange super coincidences of drills being stage where ever reported disaster occurs wargames were occurring on september eleventh two thousand and one exercises that confuse the f a a whose response was not to send jet interceptors to the reportedly hijacked planes is this real world or exercise or the well known words of an f a a official on that day the chaffed high school shooting that took place after sandy hook in bakersfield california was a drill that went live somehow a real shooter barges into a drill situation and the result is catastrophic how does this happen what does going live actually means in the three dimensional world it means that everything that could go wrong has gone wrong a shooter somehow got into a stage setting and fooled everyone went to the turns into three d and the news runs with it never mind that in three d what the two d news reports can't even happen the public doesn't notice and doesn't care and there's a new factor in the equation today because of interconnectedness through very sophisticated two d technologies we have a virtual world in which there is no need to create real problems when you can work with pretend problems and report them as real why create dead bodies when you can assume them instead the most glaring glitch in the sandy hook story is the lack of hard evidence of dead bodies especially as dr h wayne carver the state medical examiner ushered in a bill in two thousand and eleven that prevents the release by his office of pediatric calm aside autopsies to the press or public i'm quoting him now the office of the chief medical examiner and i are very concerned about the privacy rights of individuals being invaded by the curious public you tubers have pointed out the check in sign at the firehouse you could see it on t v was this for emergency teams and the press to keep track of who showed up and what they had come for was it for the hundreds of parents looking for their kids it's an illuminated sign as well clearly a part of equipment other you tubers have shown how aerial footage of the fire house shows people walking in circles out of one door and into another through the building and out again  ambles without purpose all of the people do that they had their hands in their pockets they have absolutely nothing to do so i also notice that these people aren't talking to each other there's no air of frenzy no chaos this is what you would have in a crisis everyone is just walking circling there was another aerial shot of the firehouse in which you can see something behind it out of general view somebody sent this to me and wondered if they were christmas trees in the first picture with the arrow it's hard to tell in the second picture where the circle is it does look like christmas trees this was december fourteenth the day of the shooting on december fifteenth a row of twenty six christmas trees each dedicated to a sandy hook victim was set up outside the firehouse to be decorated if you look at this exchange oddity the presence of christmas trees hidden behind the firehouse and then put in front of the firehouse after the killings occurred you cannot help thinking that the whole thing was a giant premeditated planned the media told us that an out of towner had seen the notice of the firehouse christmas tree sale in the sandy hook news footage and had stepped forward to donate the trees as a commemoration to the victims and here's a question if the firehouse was so people friendly as to have a christmas tree sale why did the school itself have no decorations although there are strict federal regulations now as to what kinds of seasonal decorations are permitted in schools we see nothing at all in the many windows of sandy hook no snowflake spells reindeer happy holidays nothing in a town that has a christmas tree lighting ceremony why would the elementary school not have any decorations the firehouse has nine bays and is much bigger than the one in newtown and i'm going to show you the firehouse in march with twenty six stars on the roof for the sandy hook elementary school victims here is a closeup of the flag outside the fire station a green background with a six pointed star made of twenty six smaller star
