Sounds like Jamaal Bowman has already made to many cases of Ripple.

Jaymall is typical of those in American society who are more trouble than they’re worth.

Gematria is the ancient practice of coding numbers into letters, often to reveal meanings and connections that are not outwardly apparent. The coding of numeric values to letters/alphabets goes back at least as far as the 8th century BCE.

from myjewishlearning.com (not a link):

This system, developed by practitioners of Kabbalah (Jewish mysticism), derived from Greek influence and became a tool for interpreting biblical texts.

Currently, Gematria (using the English alphabet) and numerology are used to break down events and stories in the news - to reveal meanings and connections that are not obvious. The idea behind this is that news and events are scripted, and the numeric component is evidence of the scripting.

(To be clear, this is not the same thing as Biblical Gematria - which uses the Hebrew alphabet and is a complete field of its own, complex and mathematical).

The four base Gematria ciphers used are Ordinal, Reverse Ordinal, Reduction and Reverse Reduction. Ordinal counts letters A to Z, A = 1, Z = 26. In Reverse Ordinal, Z = 1, A = 26. The Reduction ciphers use numbers 1-9 only.

This story about reparations seems to have a numeric element.

$14 trillion.

Bowman is among 14 Democrats supporting H.R. 414

414 is an overlap of the numbers 41 and 14

Reparations for black slavery is an issue unique to this country.

Rep. Cori Bush of Missouri sponsored this bill.

As it happens, our 41st president was George Herbert Walker Bush.

Not to mention, descendants of North American slaves would never have been born if slavery here had not existed. Their ancestors would never have met and procreated. How much value can we put on a human life ????

It’s magical.

In the spirit of Mother Africa all African Americans shall be paid in Zimbabwe dollars.

Yup. Lots of lineage would have been stopped.
