Is there a conspiracy? How about 7-Eleven?


1) Is there a conspiracy? How about 7-Eleven? · 2) Are there Republicans in an Antichristian Conspiracy?

There is a series of shops sharing a franchise, called 7-Eleven.

Perhaps this is coincidental, perhaps not.

7+11 = 18.

Double 18, you get 36. Triangular number of 36 (as in 36+35+34+ ... +1) is 666.

So, let's not add the numbers.

Let's take instead a multiplication:

7*11=77.

So far, so good.

Double that, you get 140+14 or 154.

Nothing suspicious about that, is there?

And you double that, you get 308. Do you begin to sense some danger?

300 doubled is 600. 8 doubled is 16. Yes, we were getting at 616.

But perhaps that is just after the hours they are open.

In 1946, in an effort to continue the company's post-war recovery, the name of the franchise was changed to 7-Eleven to reflect the stores' new hours of operation, which were unprecedented at the time. In 1969, 7-Eleven experimented with a 24-hour schedule in Austin, Texas, after an Austin store stayed open all night to satisfy customer demand.


And no real thought behind them being present in 18 countries (11+7) either? No.

You see, French wikipedia is wrong, English is right, it's just 17 countries.

But still funny they are in certain scandals about "defrauding the labourer about his wages", isn't it?* Whether they are in a Satanic conspiracy or not, they seem to be in a Capitalist one.

Besides, the real bad number would be related to some other Capitalist, an USURARIO (634 in ASCII Code and add a space or make an upper case letter lower case, you are adding 32). Or one at least pretended version of Anti-Capitalist, according to others State Capitalis. Namely a KOMUNIST (same as USURARIO).

* Reitan Servicehandel Sverige has held the license in Sweden since December 1997. In the mid-1990s period, 7-Eleven in Sweden received adverse publicity due to the unfavourable labour contracts offered by its then-licensee, Small Shops, an American-based company, resulting in many stores being sold and closed down. For a time, there were only 7-Elevens in Stockholm and Gothenburg. 7-Eleven returned to the south of Sweden in 2001, when a convenience store opened in Lund. Later in the 2000s, the Swedish 7-Eleven chain was involved in controversy when the Swedish TV channel TV3 exposed widespread fraud on the part of Reitan Servicehandel in its management of the 7-Eleven franchise, which Reitan Servicehandel eventually admitted to on its website. // In the United States, many 7-Eleven locations previously had filling stations with gasoline distributed by Citgo, which in 1983 was purchased by Southland Corporation (50% of Citgo was subsequently sold in 1986 to Petróleos de Venezuela, S.A., with the remaining 50% acquired in 1990). Although Citgo was the predominant partner of 7-Eleven, other oil companies are also co-branded with 7-Eleven, including Fina, Exxon, Gulf, Marathon, BP, Shell, Chevron (some former TETCO convenience stores were co-branded with Chevron, and Texaco prior to the 7-Eleven purchase in late 2012), and Pennzoil. Alon USA is the largest 7-Eleven licensee in North America. On September 27, 2006, 7-Eleven announced the impending cessation of its 20-year contract with Citgo and that the contract would not be renewed. 7-Eleven signed an agreement with ExxonMobil in December 2010 for the acquisition of 183 sites in Florida. This was followed by the acquisition of 51 ExxonMobil sites in North Texas in August 2011. // Exxon Mobil Corp. (ExxonMobil) is an American multinational oil and gas corporation headquartered in Irving, Texas. It is the largest direct descendant of John D. Rockefeller's Standard Oil Company, and was formed on November 30, 1999 by the merger of Exxon (formerly Standard Oil Company of New Jersey) and Mobil (formerly the Standard Oil Company of New York). // In August 2015, Fairfax Media and the ABC's Four Corners program reported on the employment practices of certain 7-Eleven franchisees in Australia. The investigation found that many 7-Eleven employees were being underpaid at rates of around A$10 to A$14 per hour before tax, well under the legally-required minimum award rate of A$24.69 per hour. Franchisees underpaying their staff would typically maintain rosters and pay records that would appear to show the employee being paid the legally-required rate, however these records would in fact only include half of the hours the employee actually worked in a week. Employees would then be paid on the basis of these records, resulting in them effectively being paid half the legally-required rate. It was also reported that workers were often not paid loadings and penalty rates that they are legally entitled to, for working overtime hours, nights, weekends, and public holidays. ...

  1. And of course there is no kind of deal behind the kind of viewer numbers in the stats either.

    Here are stats today, yesterday, last 24 hours per country for the 8 of my blogs which did more than 1000 views last month:

    Pageviews today 343

    Pageviews yesterday 407

    United States 135 180 12
    United States 003 180 15
    United States 002 180 17 197

    Notable thing, my music blog just went viral. No special indication of any deal.

    France 24 24

    24 viewers each for 2 of these blogs, in France.

    Russia 21 21
    Russia 21 42
    Russia 01 43

    Three of the 4 blogs have exactly 21 viewers in Russia.

    Germany 48 48
    Germany 01 49
    Germany 01 50

    No notable coincidence, Germany usually likes Philologica blog.

    Ukraine 05 05

    Ukraine 03 22
    Ukraine 05 27
    Ukraine 01 28

    More blogs, but fewer viewers per blog and in total than Russia. Have I seen this before?

    Belarus 1

    Each of these countries being lower than above .... have I seen this before?

    It gives me the impression a certain number of readers are in each country making sure to check my blogs and consulting with each other. But also making sure not to make my blogs go viral, as far as they can avoid.

    US seems to have readers outside that kind of deal.

  2. Of course, some of the readers in France could be new readers checking out more than one blog.

    And some could be readers checking out blogs as I asked, only taking much more time and using more people than I supposed.

    And as for Russians, I can't know for now whether they are pro-government, anti-government, Church this or Church that. I can know they can skip a day or so (and let partners abroad take over) if I note their numbers on a post.

  3. And here are 10 blogs with readership last month between 200 and 1000:

    Ukraine has far more blogs to view than Russia, but Russia has more viewers on the one blog. 21, like for the 3 of 4 larger blogs.

  4. I can mention 4 blogs had between 100 and 200 readers last month, these had 3 readers yesterday. 14 blogs had less than 100 readers, and they had 7 readers yesterday. In all these cases, the readers yesterday were too early to leave a trace to where they were last 24 hours.

    I can't recall seeing Russia on "last week" stats, but on one, Ukraine was only one on it.

  5. Update next day:

    And today it is a very funny fact that the same musical blog which yesterday had 136 views, mostly in US, today has none.

    Plus, when I spoke this morning about scanned sheet music to a musician in the homeless day shelter, he pretended to not understand the word "scanné", scanned, he pretended to take it as sth about hearing or playing.

    Plus a little later on another homeless spat in front of me and half turned to me when speaking idiotic insults about knowing how I live - when I had never met the guy before. BUT it could be a coincidence, he could have been speaking to someone absent.

    Here are the stats for 8 blogs with most viewers last month:
