Exestential Blues

President Bush obviously lives in an "alternate reality". I missed the live press conference the other day but apparently Bush still does not want to admit the truth that his own intelligence, as of a year ago, had a report ready for release to the effect that Iran ceased trying to build a nuclear bomb as of 2003 and that now they just want to enrich uranium for peaceful Nuclear Power. The President is still being a chicken little about the whole thing, insisting that the sky is falling and that nothing has changed. The democrats should make it a major talking point that just as in 2003 this country was deceived into going to war with Iraq on the basis of a known lie, that Saddam Hussein was developing weapons of mass destruction, so we almost went to war with Iran last spring on the basis of a known lie, when the truth was in an intelligence report sitting on a shelf. Saddam abandoned his development of "weapons of mass destruction" and U N inspectors were finding this out, as we have reported previously, and if they had been allowed to go on with their inspections, this truth would have become Public, and we would have spared ourselves the past four & a half years of War and occupation. It's the pressure that Democrats and others on the left exerted on the Bush adminestration, that prevented a war with Iran that would otherwise be going on right now. As such the democrats have something to be proud of, that they with their actions, actually prevented what would have been a disasterous war with Iran. People like Edwards and O Bama need to hit Hillary over the head with this.

They are now predicting that there could be massive food wars world wide, because of the ravages of global warming, that make deserts of certain areas that used to get enough rain. Of course they have had a virtual hurricane of 100 mph. plus winds in the Northwest. The Federation has been predicting a war in the 2030's but it could come sooner. There could well be energy wars if oil prices spike and all those people in China who don't have cars, should decide they want one. Ninety percent of the population still does not own a motor vehicle. But the Kyoto accords have to be fair, and include polluting nations such as India and China.

President Bush had a "Dukakis moment" (1988) in the Press Conference, apparently where he was informed about a young woman in Saudi Arabia who was raped by seven men. As a response the government sentenced the woman to two hundred lashes. That's a lot more than Michael Faye got. Apparently in answering the question the President stared up into space as if looking to some higher power for guidance in answering this difficult question. After answering the question the President was anxious to switch topic and did not care to comment or elaborate. It's said that Huckibee pardoned one rapist in response to the right wing because there were political ramifications because there were connections with the Clinton campaign. Huckibee is in trouble for raising taxes. I don't fault anyone for raising taxes when there is no other choice but to do so, just as Bush Sr. had no choice in 1990. He was up against the wall. I don't fault anybody for having a fatal attack of intelligent prudence. King Saul in the Bible had once pledged that anyone who ate honey before a key battle was concluded, would be put to death. But Johnathin disobeyed the edict and ate honey. But the pledge was so inherently stupid that carrying it out would be far more foolish and immoral than any "honor" of keeping it. I plan to vote for Huckibee at this time, being a registered Republican. What would make me happier would be if Huckibee took a "no torture" pledge, which is now rumored.

Apes are smarter than humans. Chimpanzees are smarter than college students when it comes to having a memory of numbers that have been whited out, but you must still put them in order. I was just thinking that chimpanzees may have an employable skill and perhaps could be employed in a warehouse operating a fork lift, if they have a tallent for "remembering where they put things". It's every man's dream to somehow employ a clone like Homer Simpson did, that's useful but still not smart enough to realize that he's actually being exploited. (selah)

Since Bones was a rerun I switched to that DNA thing on 28. Let’s talk about this a little. Really DNA is simpler than you might think. There are just the four letters that form each string of A, T, C, & G. But A’s are always paired with T’s in the exact perportions no matter what the substance is, and C’s are always paired with G’s. What this does is dramaticly reduce the number of possible chemical combinations and you are in essence down to a binary system that could be represented on a computer model. It took a while to discover the double helix pattern which was hinted it with the X formation you saw looking at it sideways. There are four files in Sketch where I experiment with a helix, double or not, and an additional one where I use a “screw” spiral staircase pattern. The double helix unzips itself to reproduce itself with other strands. All of this was discovered in the waning days of February of 1953. Not so long ago.

Some would argue that upon finding DNA we have found the key to life. Other people such as religionists and existentialists would argue that life is not a chemical formula but rather an existential awareness or having the attribute of a sensient Being, like StarTrek talks about. The Federation, like the Bhudists, teaches that Life as we know it is an Illusion. However the Federation quickly points out that there are true illusions, as well as false illusions, and that unless you are mentally ill or something, you are experiencing a fundamentally “sound” illusion. If you want to call this extential awareness of being “God” this is your own affair. However I must point out that after you become a Christian the first thing they tell you is “Everything you feel and perceive is wrong because unsaved people exist only on an “animal plane” and you have to mature in the Spirit out of this state. Hence the one “proof” that God ( - ) is actually real, is denied by these people. You might paraphraise last week’s remark to go, “Being Alive is but a curse to these people” because being alive, what they now seek is death. And “Die to Self” is something I heard more times than I care to relate, much of it by Al Satorius.

There are two schools of thought among the Federation. Of course publicly they will say that there is no dissent within the Federation and state that with Intelligence comes Unity of concencus. They volunteered last week that while they admire the Masons they don’t have the same secret ceremonies the Masons do such as making the sign of hammering a nail into something, or making some slashing motion across your body to spill your guts out. They say “If we have any secret ceremonies, we certainly aren’t going to tell someone like you”. The Mal Evans school of thought is the one held publicly. Mal talks about this “Fifth dimensional shit” meaning that since there is no way the Fifth Dimension can ever be proven, talking about it is pointless. The Federation officials have listened to Stewart Sutcliffe’s arguments that you can move into another aspect of the fifth dimension, primarily when you die, but also in astro projection and triggering certain acts that propel you there while you are still alive and like Warf in that StarTrek episode, you may at first not even be aware that you have made a dimensional shift. The Stewart Sutcliffe school of thought goes that since there is an equal mathematical probability in many cases of alternate realities emerging, therefore mathematical odds must be satisfied. Therefore if something Could happen or could have happened, then it DID happen in some alternate dimension. This is the ‘Hotel California” view of the universe where “Dark Reality must be achnoledged”. A physical demonstration of this is in the hexagram of chapter 14 of the I Ching. Stewart made the statement after the Detroit Pistons lost to San Antonio in the NBA playoff two years ago that, “If you have the faith to believe it, Detroit actually won that series”. The Federation argues that Predestination is hard and fast fact and there is no escaping it. Therefore, for instance, in that Simpson’s episode last night Flanders reasoned that if he shot Homer Simpson he could prevent a nuclear haulocost that Homer would cause. But as it worked out- shooting Homer actually CAUSED the nuclear haulocost when Homer fell bleeding on the button. The idea of Sylvia Brown about “Warnings from the other side” are nonsensical to this school of thought in the Federation. What the Federation will say is that there are such things as true allegories. Therefore the Federation (like the Bible?) justifies faboricated lies they tell to other cultures because they are “Pravda” or “Truths” other nations must recognize. The thing is DNA is not an allegory but a litteral truth. Bones, alias Stewart Sutcliffe seems to teach a doctrine where you can “beat” predestination if you use Death as a magic escape hole. The bulk of the Federation and Mal Evans say this is nonsense, because “How can you ascribe positive (or “constructive”) attributes to an essential “zero” or negative event? Stewart will counter that Darkness has its own reality and its own place. The idea that “anything that could exist DOES exist- - somewhere” kind of negates the necessity for God at all. This notion that this four-dimensional Universe is predestined but you can use an escape hole (the Four Thousand Holes of Lankishire) to switch dimensions with another destiny is intriguing but can’t be proven. The Federation Officials say that if something can’t be proven therefore it doesn’t exist. I think perhaps both sides of the debate have valid points. Both sides say that Drugs are Delusional, and a hinderance to enlightenment. I’m surprised that someone hasn’t come up with the sign, “Drugs are Satan” because in the book of Revelation if you check the translation, drugs are equivelant to witchcraft.

In personal news I've been getting these threatening letters from my bank, three of them so far in just eight days, alluding to ruining my credit and other horrible things. Their capacity of patience is surprisingly lacking. I have gotten brain surgery for my computer so now I have five times the memory I had before or one & a quarter gigabytes. Things operate much more smoothely. It's too bad people can't have the same surgery on their own brains.

The Republican Debate- Blow by Blow

Today is November 29, 2007 and tomorrow is the fortieth anniversary of the release of the album, “Magical Mystery Tour”. Last night the Republicans held another debate, the one sponsored by You-Tube. I tried to get it on You-Tube but apparently you have to subscribe, so I switched to CNN. Huckibee was speaking when I joined, and they soon had their first break. Apparently they had started before six. They ran till about ten after seven. I think at that time CNN separated from the You-Tube portion of the coverage. Let’s cover some of the issues. Giuliani accused Romney of hiring illegal aliens to work on his yard and Romney countered by saying that the individual workers were hired by the company and the detales of their employment were not his immediate concern, and in this I agree with Romney. Romney pointed out Giuliani’s statement about “If you’re an illegal alien we want you to come to New York”. Another issue was the death penalty and Huckibee was asked “What would Jesus say about this?” Huckibee countered that Jesus would be too smart to run for a political office. This quip struck a chord in me because back thirty years ago everybody in my social circle was expecting the Rapture to come and this world was “All going to burn” anyhow. They say that when you extend the political spectrum fringe enough, the extremes meet on the far side of the circle. Back when I was young, in my twenties, there wasn’t a lot of talk about the Moral Majority. They couldn’t be all that spiritual if they were concerned about the Here and Now, and when my Prophecy book came out endourcing Reagan, it was just Way too Political. I was one of the first Christians to come out against Jimmy Carter, in fact I voted for Ford. All Carter had to say was “Born Again” and he had instant followers. Jesus may have thought he was “smart” not running for office or being involved in worldly affairs but as a Jew did he also approve of the avalanche of anti-Semitism unleashed upon the nation of Israel by the Church at Rome? The next issue to come up was torture, and in this case the debate was a key deciding point for me. John Mc Cain is the only one other than perhaps Ron Paul, to come out firmly and resolutely against torture and water-boarding. If none of the other candidates had the gonads to take this stance then they aren’t getting my vote. Abortion came up. Fred Thompson in his video took a shot at Mit Romney for saying abortions should be safe, legal, and rare. I can’t go for Romney. He’s too much of a poser. What he’s doing is bordering on pandering to the political right saying in essence, “Whatever position you take, I’m to the right of you”. Huckibee is gaining on Romney and I believe the reason why is that he appears more human. Finally there was a question on homosexuals in the military. The guy turned out to be a plant from the Hillary Clinton campaign. If nothing else this is a reminder never to vote for Hillary. What irritated me was that every candidate up there answered the question in careful, detailed fashion, and Duncan Hunter was grilled about his belief “The military will change when the culture changes and they adjust with it”. That’s what I’d call a sensible answer. It may not be relivant twenty years from now whether a trooper is gay or not. But The questioner got more agitated and said “I have not heard a satisfactory answer from anybody up there- do you look forward to the day when gays are freely in the military”. The thing is, the guy wasn’t asking questions so much as he was preaching to us. He was irritating, and at one point is microphone was cut off, then turned back on.

STATE SECRETS

Randy Rhodes has made this kind of a crusade of hers, and I hope she keeps it up. As you know Valerie Wilson had a lot of stuff from her new book "redacted" by the CIA because it was classified information. She wants to show how she was screwed over by giving a blow by blow description, but the government won't allow her to do that. It seems kind of an oxy-moronism that they say she was NOT a covert agent, but in order for Valerie to prove that she was, she has to violate "state secrets". Of course Larry Elder doesn't like stories of torture of prisoners or abductees getting into the public press. But the question comes up just who they are keeping the torture secret from. The victim certainly knows he was tortured. Randi says that in addition to all of these "renderings" to secret locations, even the people in Guantanamo Bay were tortured and that is a "state secret" too. This is deemed the case even though reports of it are comon knowledge and reports of cases have appeared in the New York Times. Randi also has noted that of all the people who are "suspects" according to the government, including people on the No Fly list- - almost none of the people who have been charged with a crime have actually had their day in court. I guess only two of the people in Guantanamo Bay of the seven hundred prisoners once there and the three hundred eventually released- - of the four hundred odd left, only two have had their day in court, so that fifteen year old Iraqi terrorist can count himself lucky his case is at least coming up. What certainly turned me against considering Mit Romney to get my vote is his statement that none of these prisoners are entitled to any civil rights. And of course I guess we have rules that if we are "at war" then the prisoners have the right to be held as prisoners, if not tortur-ees, till at least the end of that war. Of course American Citizens have been targeted as "enemy combatents" by the Bush Adminestration. Whoever is running for President should address and stress these issues as things for the next president to deal with. Fred Thompson and others still speak of the war as something which is going to go on forever because WHENEVER we withdraw will be "too soon" and we will be "admitting defeat" and of course the Taliban will "follow us over here". People like Larry Elder want us to be "At War" all the time, as a pretext for violating the rights of American Citizens.

Sometimes you get a royal screwing by the government. This is one area where you'd think the libertarian argument would kick in about private enterptize being superior because at least THEY are accountable to their customers, and they don't want to lose a valued customer due to some unfortunate coincidence of event or misunderstanding. I've had problems with my ex internet provider in the past few days. We'll just call them the Neeto-Keno internet company. They conned me into paying a thirty dollar fee for duplicate E mail address. When I called a few days later on November 19th. saying I wanted to cancle the service that was to have started on November 24th. they agreed. They had reminded me, "Of course you know you are already paid up for full service till the 24th." So when I went to the A T M machine on the nineteenth to withdraw money and saw about $29.00 missing from my account, I naturally figured it was the phone bill I had sent off a few days earlier. It's a case of hearing hoof beats and assuming it's horses and not Zebras. In this case it turned out to be Zebras. The Neeto-Keno internet company had made an illegal withdrawal from my account, and they did not put it back. As a consequence I bounced a check and am not out sixty dollars, for a service I didn't want or need anyhow. In the case of the government this screwing-over took the form of people who had enlisted in the Armed Forces betting a reinlistment bonus check. But when they got in for another tour of duty in Iraq they were wounded and had to exit the Military sooner than they had planned, before their tour of duty was up. So they were billed for their enlistment bonus. This messing over of vetterans in hospital beds fighting for their lives in some cases, is heartless and inexcusable beyond belief. Of course you've heard of enlistees being billed for their own equipment. I think Randi Rhodes is right. The backbone of the Army is being broken and we're turning over the defense of our country to corporate stooges, at taxpayer's expense.

GUY OWENS VERSES MARK CAMPBELL

I don't know if you've ever had the feeling that someone was trying to assume your identity and take over your life. As you may know, Chuck Smith made the prediction a while back that the Rapture of the Church would absolutely come on or before May 10th. 1981. As this date approached Mark Campbell decided to write a song for the occasion, "How Late Thou Art" based upon the church hymn. This song talks about graves and some of the Abbey Road mythology. Oddly the song came out just a few days before the attempted assasenation of Pope John Paul II in May of 1981. The song is kind of image filled and was inspired in part by that "Death of John the Baptist" photo in some book about a TV movie, where the camera is looking up from a grave as four desciples are throwing handfulls of dirt into the grave. The shot has a vague resemblance to the Rubber Soul cover. There were also bits in the song intended as a jab at me because of my belief in astrology and "signs of the end that were coming", and the whole religious spell I was under. There was even a jab at Zachery and the ZAC in this song. By early 1984 things had changed completely. I was now no longer living in the Bosc house but was over on Pinewood. I was letting Mark Campbell take over the media mailings and he did it almost exclusively in 1982 and early 1983. He did a better job of it then I ever could. He had moved into my old bedroom at the Bosc house and I felt he was "becomming me". Whenever Dick and Robin and Zachery came over to the Bosc house they were always times when I wasn't there. So Bobby and Pike and Jim saw Zachery but I didn't after October of 1981. I was feeling Jealous of Mark and I kind of re-did the lyrics to "No Imagination" by Blondie. Two changes come right to mind. I wrote 'I don't want to stay with you, I don't want to play with you" and another change is "Eyes that Mimic innocence". I was kind of saying in early 1984, "screw you and screw the ZAC". Meanwhile in 1982 there were things in the letters like I had committed suicide in late November of 1981 by being run over by a railroad on the tracks at Lincoln Avenue by the Freeway. Those of you who've read my Word files from summer 2004 know that Martin Owens was my adoptive grandfather, my father's father, after his biological father flaked out in 1925 at the age of two. My grandmother was originally from- - somewhere around northern Mississippi, we'll leave it at that. She moved to Oklahoma (this was before the days of the dust bowl) along with the older half-sibblings and older brother. There she met Martin Owens who worked on an oil rig. Oddly enough the two boys did not take the last name of the new husband because my grandmother had this fixation that the biological father was really a rich man and had lots of money stashed away, and if the kids kept his last name one day they could claim it. That never happened. Martin Owens died of a heart attack while at work on an oil rig during World War II while pop (or should I say "sunny") was off in the Pacific.

The Political Circus

The big news is that Giuliani has sunk to fourth place among the Republicans. Even the mayor friendly media was saying if he cane in third in Iowa he'd win the nomination, and now he's not even doing that. Fred Thompson is beating him. Huckibee is second place. He was interviewed on CNN last week right after Romney. The deal breaker with him is his regressive 23% consumer sales tax that will impact the poor relitively the most. Huckibee went on Chris Matthews last week and stated that he doesn't like the idea that President Bush lied to Scott MeLellon about the outing of Valerie Wilson. How interesting it is how fast THAT story was buried by the media. You would think an admission like that by a Press Secretary would be front page news, but it wasn't. And neither was one of these stories that was repeated ad nausium like how the stores will be doing on Black Friday. At least Huckibee is an honist conservative. He has a continence. It's amazing how many "dirty conservatives" there are out there. Conservatives used to stand for clean government. In fact once upon a time the Republican party used to stand for clean government as opposed to the corrupt leadership of democratic big city political bosses with their political machines. Those days are long gone. What is equally overlooked is even if Bush were guilty of no other crime, this alone would stand as an impeachable offence. I'm getting tired of hearing things such as "We don't have the time" or "we hare other priorities". All the time you are hearing stuff in the news about how this or that permission to violate our rights was just granted by Congress. You know what they say. "Time is all you have". There is nothing else conceivable to congress that would be a better usage of their time than restoring respect for the US Constitution. I could reccomend that you read all three of John Dean's latest books, though I must confess I haven't read them myself, particularly the one about the three branches of government being broken.

I've been reading Jimmy Carter's book on the screwing over of the Palistinian people. Even the deals that look good when summarized in the US press really have negative implications for the Palistinians. Israel didn't really accelerate their settlements in Palistinian territory till the mid 'nineties. And they say there is a "foot print" around the settlements where Palistinians are not allowed. You have The Wall, that is built entirely on Palistinian territory by a foreign government with its security zones. You have things in treaties like how the electronic air waves belong to Israel. Also there are vast amounts of Palistian lands- - from the map it looked like half the territory, that the Isriali government as "appropriated". It's not enough that Palistinians have to go through all these checkpoints to get from point A to point B within their own nation because the land is so fragmented, often the check points are closed down and they aren't allowed to get through at all. Of course Carter's biggest complaint is that Palistianians are dealt with as a second class people in their own land much as Blacks were in South Africa. Carter points out that much of the press coverage of the Mideast situation, and certainly what I've heard from the Evangelical Right, has been inaccurate and unfair to the Palistinians.

On the democratic side the best they can say is that now Hillary is in a tight race, even though she's four points down to O Bama. But the other statistics are much worse for Hillary. She trails Obama even among women. It's only among single women that she leads. If Oprah Winfrey has anything to say about it she won't be winning even here. The better the people of Iowa get to know Hillary and Obama, the more they like Obama, and the more they dislike Hillary. This trend can only continue. Polls indicate that Hillary is lacking in the truth telling department and that people rate Honesty among the highest virtues they are looking for in a candidate. These polls also indicate that freshness and "a new beginning" trumps experiance every time. The same things Hillary is saying about O Bama about experiance, Nixon in 1960 said about Jack Kennedy, and we know how far it got him. Of course it's seldom now that John Edward's name ever comes up. If you're looking for a candidate with Experiance AND credibility, John Edwards is your logical choice, and indeed, Edwards consistently leads in polls that liberal call in stations conduct. Bill Richardson has the most credible position on the Iraq War. This notion needs to be refuted that the Democrats, as a party are for failure in Iraq. On the contrary they are saying that the best way to deal with the situation there now is to put pressure on the Meliki government to get their act together and also use diplomatic tools to coordenate with Syria and Iran. Also it's pointed out that when the British withdraw troops from Bosera, violence actually dropped in that area. Of course now the Austrailian government has changed hands and one less nation will be supporting our policies in Iraq. Richardson is the only major candidate who is truely committed to Ending his war. Republicans don't want the war to ever end. It will Always be the "wrong time to withdraw" our troops in their sight. It's pointed out that Mc Cain is actually to the right of Romney and Giuliani on both the abortion and immigration issues when you look at the stands Romney and Giuliani have taken in the past. Perhaps what should happen is that Mc Cain and Richardson should be the nominees. That way you will get an honist and frank discussion of the issues. Hillary is a polarizing candidate. She would be the worst choice those people who are enlightened agree. She would be the great unifier of Republican forces. She's had "experiance" like an old boxer that hears any bell and comes out punching on reflex alone. This political jousting is not always the best way to solve real problems. What appeals to me about Richardson is that he wants to talk about The Issues. Most liberals would like a dialog on The Issues and cut out this petty political bickering the media so likes to foster.

How does Jesus Christ stack up as a Christian when you look at the Bible? This sounds like a silly question but I'm talking about the Jesus on KFI. First of all Jesus said prayer is something you do in public to impress other people, both Christian and unbeliever alike. It is not something you do when you really Expect an answer. Indeed expecting "God" to do anything for you is kind of anathama to the modern Christian like at Calvary. Basically their idealized prayer is to thank God for things like how they aren't a sinner and how God has favored them over their rivals in the work place. Christians and Jesus, too believe that the chief appeal to "Witness" is NOT to quote from the Bible. In fact they have names for people who quote the Bible. They call them "Biblolitrists" (Gene Scott's term) or else "Letterists". I looked it up and there's no such word but Walter Martin uses it. A Christian is supposed to have an inner pride, such as that he doesn't need to pray to God for anything. This looking to God is to them a sign of "immaturety" in others. They don't need God's gifts, such as prophecy or tongues. They're really too "good" for that sort of thing and look at the noses of others who seek these gifts. They look upon the poor and see "Well, it would be wrong to interfear with the path God has them on". And "God has them on a path and knows what he's doing and if I were to give a hand-out I'd be interfearing with God's plan for their lives". (At other times, Jesus merely refers to the needy as "Swine") When you look at things, how different if what Jesus and Gene refer to as the ideal Christian, who sound the trumpet before they give an offering and size definitely takes precidence over sacrifice, how different is this "idealized Christian" who speaks of "Instilling a Godly jealousy in others" when they see your priveleged and bless life with your wife, your, kids, your money and your respectability- - how different is this from say the Priest and the Levite who would not help the injured sougerner on the road to Jerocho in the parable of the good Semaritan? How different is he from the Rich Man in the parable of the Rich Man and Lazerus. Remember that both these were "religious men". So they all are "religious men". Indeed two of my favorite new testiment sayings against "religious men" is the one about "You travel the sands of the desert to win One convert, and when you have won him you make him twice the child of Hell you yourselves are". (I think of children of Born Agains and the Jesus gene) The other saying is "You lock the kingdom of God in men's faces, yet you yourselves will not go in". I don't know whether this means the volitional WILL or the predictive WILL. It really doesn't make any difference. I believe either translation is correct. They refuse to enter into God's true Kingdom AND when they die they will discover that they then CANNOT go there. (Selah)

There are a few Beatle Anthology songs I think should have been used on official album releases rather than the ones that were. For instance, "All Things Must Pass". I much prefer the version on Anthology III with its lone guitar rather than the schmalts up version on the album. Another candidate is "While My Guitar Gently Weeps". I think the accoustic version is better. Also in the case of O-bla-dee-o-blad-dah, the Anthology version is a hundred percent better. In like matter versions of "I Me Mine" and "Good Night" are better on Anthology. A song like Sexy Sadie, you could go either way. (no that isn't a suggestion) It's almost as if tword the end the Beatles perhaps lost their touch about what a finished song would ideally sound like.

For What It's Worth

You may remember that scene in "Rosemary's Baby" where Mia Ferrow is on this boat and having all these other wild hillucenations from that tannis root she took, and she cries out "This isn't a dream, this is really happening". Have you ever had a dream where you woke and had the dreadful thought, "This dream really happened- - sometime". I had a dream like this the other night where I was in an insane assylum and about to be "punished" by the authorities. I had a lot of disturbing flashback type dreams in mid summer of 1985 that I was sure "Really happened" at sometime in the past. Do you remember what ELO's last hit was? Yes, it was "Hold on Tight to your dreams". Perhaps it's best to hold the reins a little loosely on some dreams. You've heard about the Four Thousand Holes of Lankishire. But which one of those holes represents the REAL universe- as opposed to all the others? You know there are parrellel universes and oblique universes and maybe even perpendicular universes. This is a Universe that exists in a flash of time and has no provable reality before the intersecting plane, or just after it, but only for that one moment. Some say death and heaven may be like this. In like manner our Universe would only have a momentary flash of reality to those people, but otherwise we would have no existance. Just what is "Sideways Time"? You can imagine it, but what is it? Maybe you know what it is but can you really imagine it.

A few days ago some Christian Right friends of mine came out and endourced Mit Romney for President. But when I tried to go to Mit Romney's web site yesterday it crashed my computer. I asked the Federation about what they thought of Mit Romney now. They told me their battle was no longer with the Centaurians, whom I deal with. Also the Federation has had a soft spot for Mormons. This dates back to the time when Zachery was seen as the annointed one and the owners of the ZAC house were Mormons in Las Vegas that gave us a good rental rate. After I moved out of the ZAC house about the first of November 1978 the rent I paid almost doubled. At the same time I was having an economic "crisis" I won't go into. But for the next eight or nine months I lived on my stored up savings, which became depleted. At about the same time I began having dental problems. In fact, looking back on it late October of 1978 would have been the perfect time for the Rapture of the Saints to take place, if it were going to. You can almost "Prove" the rapture had to take place then. ELO's latest album was called "Out of the Blue" and their next album in 1979 was called "Discovery" because those saints left were looking for a message from on high to guide them and "Discovered" ELO song lyrics. Besides this after "Out of the Blue" several members dropped out of the band so that "proves" the Rapture took place right there. Besides this there was a book out called The Crash of 1979. There was also a book out called Conclave, about picking a contraversial Pope. Just how was John Paul I really done in? Was he murdered? What if Pope John Paul II had turned out to be totally corrupt? In February of 1978 I wrote a story in snail mail predicting that the govt. of Iran would be overthrown, which it was in late 1978. Also the church I was in split about in half in late October of 1978. April 30th. 1978 was the last day my Dad ever took family movies of us. Of course if the rapture took place we wouldn't be on earth. Jonestown took place in November of 1978. Also in early December 1978 I wrote the germ of a story that later became the novel, "For What It's Worth" in March of 1979. The plot involves the Rapture taking place in late October 1978. Of course Russia invaded Afghanistan in 1979. Who's to say they wouldn't have kept on going like Chuck Smith and the Bible say, and taken over all of the Mideast, till God nukes them from heaven. You see, there's actually a lot of evidence the rapture took place in late October 1978. With all the evidence we've given you here, how can you come to any other conclusion?

CNN now has a raging conservative. I don't know how long he's been on the station but he is ravidly anti immigration- - and like Romney wants any state that shows compassion for immigrents to be severely punished by the government. Also he had John Boulton on, who wrote that book saying the thing wrong with Bush's foreign policy was that there were too many carrier liberals in the State Department. There's too much cultural infiltration. Our nation is not ego centric enough. Didn't you know, there is no finer leader than Mushariff, and he is the most qualified man in the land to crack down on Al Qaida. This comentator also is virelently anti Global Warming politics. He thinks Global Warming is a giant left wing conspiracy. None of the scientists have any cradibility and they are all Al Gore pooitical hacks. This is what the other side is saying. Randy Rhodes has pointed out that the crowd at the latest democratic debate in Las Vegas was stacked with Hillary people and they booed O Bama and Edwards when they said stuff that was too enlightened. I don't think RR likes the idea of CNN picking our next nominee. And today we learn that despite this, Hillary is slipping in the polls and it looks like O Bama may be the victor. But if the race is Romney and Hillary I think the lines will be drawn and liberalism can be put to a fair test. I honestly have not made up my mind for any hypothetical line-up, except I think I'll go for Romney in the primary because he best represents social conservativism. Giuliani is doing a melt-down in case you are wondering about him. My friends on the right wing don't like him either, and for a lot of the same reasons.

That Drew Peterson fellow has murdered two wives or something. He is an Illinois police officer who murdered his third wife it appears, even though they ruled it an accident. Now there is a question about his fourth wife, a sweet young thing. This could be the murder case of the year that we will be looking at in 2008.

Injustice abounds in government. The FBI for decades has been using this bogus lead analisis to acertain where bullets from crime scenes came from where normal bullistics cannot match the bullet with the gun. They first tried this "science" in the Kennedy Assasenation. Now this bogus science of chemical analisis of lead has convicted hundreds of people. There are at least a dozen cases where suspects were clearly wrongly convicted. They can't match the bullet with the gun that fired it from chemical analisis because often bullets in the same box are hetrogenious in make-up of their lead. Also there are "matches" to bullets far from the crime scene. Now the FBI is going to come clean on this issue. Let's hope they do. Also our government is in the business of convicting fifteen year old Moslem boys for "War Crimes". Some would say War itself is a crime. But this fifteen year old Afghan boy is a victim of his family and cultural morays and should not be blamed, or thrown in Guantanamo prison. But they say he's lucky he's even having his day in Court because most people in Guantanamo have yet to see a court date with a judge. By the way people in Iowa don't trust Hillary. We don't know if she's going to keep her word on anything. If you want change in the way our government opperates my advice is to vote for someone besides Hillary.

The fat police are after you now. They are demanding that certain large fast food chains post their calories, but that other fast food outlets don't have to say zip. Ones like Wendy's and Mc Donalds and Burger King are the ones who are subject to this government proctology exam. Many sites such as Subway have pointed to the inadvisability of listing calories because there are somany conbinations of foods people can order. I'm against the whole principle of the thing just like I am with smoking. Today they want to regulate it. Tomorrow they'll ban foods with a lot of calories. I wouldn't encourage the government in their "simple thing they want you to do" of listing calories on menus. People can find nutritional material if they want to exercise even a minimum amount of effort to look on internet sites and elsewhere. Now they're saying that younger women are dying of heart attacks more. Anything to scare us all.

We were going to close with some scary quotes from Hillary Clinton but we ran into technical difficulties when I tried to paste the stuff over. Hillary Clinton was compared to all the leading dictators of the twentieth century and the tag line is "I bet you can't tell the difference", just as Rush pointed out you couldn't tell the difference between Al Gore's writings and those of convicted murderer Ted Kazinski in his "manifesto". Ta ta!

The Moral Scurge of Materialism

We've all seen the Ten Commandments movie where Moses is talking to Zephera and she says, "Our lips may not be all painted up like the Egyptian women, but they speak the truth". Elsewhere in the movie it even says "Physical beauty is but a curse to our women". It's not just the notion of sexual defilement by an Egyptian overlord, but the whole lure of the materialistic culture that the women will get sucked up into. Back when this country was being formed we believed that work for work's sake was a good thing and that you should in the words of the Apostle Paul, serve your boss joyfully, working hard, and by doing so bringing honor to God. Certainly in my generation with its high unemployment during the seventies, if you got a job you were grateful to have one, and you did everything you could to hang on to it. How different it is with today's generation of "youngsters" with their blackberries, PDA's and I Pods, and taking time off work early to attend their Yoga classes. Did you see that episode of Sixty Minutes the other night. This younger generation is so full of themselves you can't believe it. But it's only an extremely pampered and watched over ("like fine china", as they have previously said) generation where losing is not in their vocabulary. They were taught in school that competetion was a bad thing and more than that - - anyone who criticized you was a BAD person. I ran into some of this with Nicholas myself. This is the Mr. Rogers generation where Mr. Rogers told you "You are special". This generation believes it and thinks any employer should be thrilled to hire them. Of course Christian young people are told they are "special", too, and Mr. Rogers is a Christian. Christians love to complain about their work- - all the time. They just pick, pick, pick no end about their jobs. And they love to gossip, too. I remember one time in early 1074 where I and a date went into a resturant after seeing the Exorcist. And the service was terrible because the waitresses were Christians. This younger generation has never experianced a real recession like we had in 1974 or in 1980 - 1982. They think the world owes them everything and aren't shy about asking for it. In some ways you can envy them. It's every man who has dreamed of saying to his boss, "Take this job and shove it". In 99% of the cases it's a very unwise thing to do. In some ways Thom Hartman and Randy Rhodes are full of it. Not to disparage their analisis of the economy or anything but our expectations are so high now we forget what the real world is like. We seem to regard having the fastest cable computer around and giant screen TV as well as every manner of exotic health foods as somehow normal and that everyone has the money to throw around on these things. Now they have these cars that talk back to you and to whom you can give oral directions to drive a certain place or to play a certain song and rescue with GPS if you get lost. Thom Hartman says we aren't even paying for gasoline what we ought to and prices were still relatively higher in 1979 than they are today despite the increase. In Bob Dylan's words, "If you're so hurt, why don't you show it". We keep on driving more and more, and our pocket books don't mind a bit, and we expect to spend even more this year. The negative savings rate in this country is alarming but that's for another day. People invest in mortgages and trade in houses like trading stamps. They regard these flexible mortgages as a big game and wonder why they get burned. They shouldn't bail people out for foolishness. I'm a big believer that actions should have consequences. Ironically this is one of my big beefs with Christianity in that they see "The World" as "Evil" so you can go out there and act like a total asshole and then wonder why everybody hates you and go back to your church and whine about it. I think the whole idea of self examination and introspection is a lost art.

Another danger of unfettered materialism is that it numbs us to the reality of news and political events. There is so much "entertainment" out there, this entertainment supplants the real world. Soap opera people become our "best friends" and the war in Troy or Pursia or some other far away place long ago supplants the war in Iraq going on today. Obviously people are too distracted while they are driving. I can't help think that all this distraction detracts from their work on the job performance. But my point is that we are not thinking about the big issues such as civil liberties. In China and to a lesser degree in Russia, they are trading their civil liberties for a new car or new pair of shoes. As long as they are well off with a lot of "things" to boast of, they feel "safe" and not threatened by their government, which denies even basic civil liberties. Now we are seeing the same thing starting to happen in this country. Randy Rhodes said on her show today (or was it Hartman?) how come Republicans hire these advertizing consultents to help word speeches so that bad concepts appeal to the American people, but the democrats struggle over their basic message of egalitarianism. I was going to call this article "Greed, the scurge of the right wing and the need for egalitarianism". Too many words. But it's true. Personally I'm not big on national health care as you know. I think if we try it it will end up in a major disaster where everybody pays double taxes and still doesn't get the kind of coverage they expect. Apparently health care isn't working at all well in Canada. But that said I DO admire the concept of government health care. I see the rationalle for it. And it almost seems like a good idea. I think Thom Hartman is being Biblical when he says the economy is to better society, and not the other way around. I believe their is a Biblical moral element to economic activity. I think it wouldn't hurt us for all of us to adopt more Spartan values, even if Pursia isn't knocking at the door. (And it just might be) I think Jerry Browns ideas are good ones. I think it's a good idea to live a more Spartan, "earth friendly" life. If we walk more or ride our bikes we will be healthier and may be better spiritually, too. As you know I think there is too much enphasis on alcohol consumption in soap operas. I think more of us need to get politically involved with organizations, and in some cases to grow a contience to begin with. I also believe in the Jeffersonian concept of the educated voter. I also encourage you to listen to that John Edwards speech given at that democratic dinner.

Finally there is the whole way in which privatization has ruined us as a society, and yes, Thom, I'm actually saying it. We can't use taxpayer money to fund private organizations. We can't have these No Big contracts we've been having. Harry Truman is right. War profiteering is an offence to everyone. It's an offence to God. Now we have these deals with the phone company where the governments puts in signal splitters so they can minotor our E mails and phone calls. Chelsea on Days of our Lives once redirected E mail from a certain person to her, where she could read it and change or rewrite it if she felt like it, and then send it on as though it came from the other person. Don't think our government isn't tempted to try this. This whole idea in the schools of "teaching to the Test" is one I finally "Get" now. It seems if you take these tests such as SAT they only ask you about reading, grammar and math. Apparently you could be a total ignoramus on such areas as history or geography and have no concept about how our government works. It seems there is a "perfect story" that everyone learns to write. I would imagine they don't grade on original abstract concepts. If this is the case that they are indeed "dumbing downour kids" we need to put a stop to No Child Left Behind immediately. I encourage everyone to listen to the Randy Rhodes show because she says things much more in depth than I can here. Our whole perception of ourselves as a people has been altered by the Republicans. We've been using words they brainwashed us with to describe and think of ourselves, and we wonder why we aren't effective. Christianity does the same thing to you. You use their words, as though somehow forgot your own. We need to "take the battle to the enemy" and we need a candidate (John Edwards) who can run an assirtive and persistent campaign. We need a candidate who won't back down or back-track in his words under pressure. I believe we also need a person who is morally grounded in "God" however you chose to define him. OK, I'll define it. I speak of "God" as a moral force I think we all at one time were alive to and it's a cause that's still stirring in many of us right now. We know what we need to do. To rephrase scripture "Perfect Morality Casteth out all Fear".

I hope O J Simpson gets the book thrown at him. I think we pretty much know what happened now and who said what to whom. O J's karma is finally catching up to him! Sianara!

Running Out Of Time

It seems that we are ready to move to another post. I would like to welcome all casual readers to this blog. Hopefully you will find something interesting here that will turn you into regular readers. In the news we have the Vetterans Day parade in Long Beach where certain veterans will not be allowed to march this year. Veterans Day parades are to honor all veterans who fought in a war defending America around the world and who gave up two or three years of their life volentarily to do so. But it would seem that this year politics has entered into the event. Apparently you are a veteran of lower status if you have since developed a distaste for War. In another news event George H W Bush has now come out and endourced the policies of his son, the President. As you know Bush Sr. has consistently had problems with "W's" Iraq policies, but now the Republicans are all apparently rallying the wagons around in a circle and closing ranks. Nobody is disputing that it's a good thing for Saddam Hussein to be removed. Bush Sr. had a chance to do that with troops over there and he passed on it. To my way of thinking he's really not in a position to talk. Now the media is treating is to this notion that violence in Iraq is way down so "the President was right after all". No, if things are improved over in Iraq we should thank the grace of God for that and rejoyce that this is one less issue to worry about. But in point of fact this year has had the highest casualty rate for troops of any since the initial War surge itself in 2003. I've seen the charts on the internet saying violence is down, but you know these days what sort of propaganda war is being raised by the media. The big news of the past few days is that Mukasey is now sworn in as Attorney General. They didn't waste any time about it. He was voted in by the Senate in a seemingly important night session, and the very next day he was sworn in. Of course the media is orchestrating Giuliani's campaign. The ex Mayor is in seemingly big trouble as one of his many scandals has come to light. His pet nominee for Homeland Security head now has "issues" such as ties to the Mob. I guess Karac (?) was Giuliani's police chief or something, and we know that like our President, Giuliani is very loyal. Loyal to a fault. Now Mc Cain has called the Mayor on this credibility issue and the media is saying "Well, Mc Cain is going to TRY and attack the Mayor on this issue even though nobody else has ever been successful attacking Giuliani on anything". "But if Mc Cain doesn't succeed than the other candidates will "get the message" and won't try it themselves.

It would seem that Born Again Christianity has done a moral melt-down and sell-out on the abortion issue. Pat Robertson had endourced Giuliani. It would seem that the Christian right no longer cares about abortion. The media is telling us all sorts of things this year. They say that "likability" usually trumps "experience", except in the case of Hillary. Apparently we want the Limbaugh-exque nightmare of some woman with PMS "having a bad hair day" like that program on ABC where someone insults the woman president in the hallway on the way to her office, and the next thing you know she's bombing some country. I guess the "Iron lady" is an image we don't mind here in America. I am really tired of the media personally telling us that our only two choices for President are Giuliani and Hillary. I have said that Christianity has only got about fifty years left. It would seem with this pro abortion decision of Pat Robertson, the tooth is already pretty much decayed to its core and it's now time for it to be extracted. Of course Jesus Christ on KFI made an indellible impression in my mind when he told a caller NOT to pressure his girlfriend into NOT HAVING an abortion but that "It has to be her own free decision". For me abortion is not a sexual issue but one of premeditated murder. Jesus told the caller that "You think by talking to me about the (illicit) sex you had that I'll let you off the hook, but that's not going to happen". Christianity has become a religion that minors on the majors and majors on the minors. Sex before your wedding night or "having an argument with your pastor" or even quitting church are not what I'd call moral sins that would send you to Hell. Other sins besides sex exist. Even if you are not personally corrupt like Giuliani or Bush, the Bible says "If you take pleasure in those who sin, you are guilty". So if you take pleasure in the power intoxicated President or ex Mayor of New York, you are vicatiously sinning. Dr. Dean Edell said the other to some reverand he was on a talk show with "You know, I can cut out a piece of your brain so that you are so sex crazed you start humping that St. Bernard over there". Sexual morality depends a lot on brain chemistry. Of course so do out of body experiances Sylvia Browne is so fond of talking about dependant on brain chemistry. You can stimulate surgically a portion of a person's brain and make him think he is floating three feet above his body. You can also simulate "after death" experiances with brain manipulation. A lot more than we would like to think is explainable with cell biology rather than "Will" or "Moral Character" or "Backbone" or all that other stuff Christians pride themselves on. Now babies are being placed in front of a TV computer screen at one year of age and being educational stuff to watch. I wonder if anybody has thought of propagandizing Jesus to them at this early age. This younger generation is growing up a lot smarter than we were at the same age. I am thinking that they will "outgrow" Christianity in their lifetimes. Dr. Edell talked about accu-puncture. He said it's OK to go to an accu-puncturist if you are otherwise healthy. But no healthy person with a good relation with his doctor is going to make a trip toTijuana to buy Laiatril. Nobody who is "whole" is going to be seduced into a guy selling Heroin in the alley. He'll say "Take your poison and get out of here". In like manner I wonder whether a whole, healthy person really needs Christianity. You see movies of me as a young toddler and one thing I find disturbing is that I seem alone and bored in a lot of these shots. I don't think I personally would have given Christianity a second thought if I didn't have a poor self image and problems in my life.

This year football started late, with 1991 as a reference point. The baseball play-offs ran really late this year. Daylight savings time ended late this year. Pay day was late for me this month. But now we will be greeted with a sea of things that are "early". Thanksgiving will be early. Mardi Gras will be going on while the super bowl is being played. I think Mardi Gras will start in January this year because I saw that Easter this year is on March 23rd. Personally I think they should move it up four weeks to April 20th. Daylight Savins time starts on March 9th. Never has that been that early. So basically everything is out of sync. If you go to a traditional sunrise Easter service at 5:30 by the time the service is over you will still be in almost total darkness. I really think the Church in Rome needs to be consulted about moving the date this year.

Once again I think this writers strike is silly. Go to your windows and shout for all to hear, "I don't need you people who are too full of yourselves, anyway". Life is for the living and not sitting in front of a TV tube. When Christianity dies, who will mourn for it? Some people say that life is in the reward at the end of it. I personally believe the essence of Life is in the Journey, or what is happening right now. If Christianity can fit into that, fine. If "Stories" can fit into my life and add to it, fine. I can make my own religion and I can make up my own Stories if I want to. We need to get to know our neighbors better. We need to stop "Letting other people get our kicks for us", as Bob Dylan says. Some people says "God wants to heal our marriages" or "God wants you to have success". My view is the word "want" doesn't appear in God's vocabulary like those tsunami people on Sixty Minutes. God is an Actualized Being. What God "wants" he gets. Words are things with God. I couldn't prevent God from giving me success if I wanted to, if God were of a mind to do it". Joel Olsteen said "The will of the King is in the hand of the Lord". He was talking about Esther in the Bible. If we need help with Pakistan or Iran or any other leader, or Hez-ballah or Al Qaida, the thing to do is to pray about it and get God's take on the whole thing. Because it's truly God's "script" on the matter that is the only one that counts. Olsteen said that if there is an obstical in your way God will either change the mind of the other person, or take him out of the picture entirely. Sometimes taking an obsticle to Faith in your walk with the Lord involves death, "the final solution". This happened in my life lately with an individual who was continually 24 - 7 a hinderance to my walk with the Lord. My hope and prayer is that God removes Rudolph Giuliani from the political landscape and the sooner that happens the better I'll feel. I don't trust him and don't think I ever will, despite whatever the media says about his being "friendly" and "outgoing" to the people me meets.

Sic Semper Tyrannis

This is the state motto of Virginia. It means "This always to tyrants" and it's the phraise attributed both to Brutus upon the daggering of Julius Caesar and also by John Wilkes Booth upon the assasination of Abraham Lincoln at Ford's theater. The phrase was recommended as the state motto of Virginia by George Mason. Virginia has always been a champion of civil liberties, and the Bill of Rights in our own Constitution was patterned after the Virginia Bill of Rights, which I have downloaded. Of course it was Patrick Henry on March 23rd. 1775 who delivered his "Give me liberty or give me death" speech. (We have New Hampshire to thank for the "Live Free or Die" motto on their liscense plates) One of the lines NOT in that actual speech was "Caesar had his Brutus and King Charles his Cromwell, and George the third- - - - George the Third has best learn from their example. If this be treason make the most of it!" Of course today is Thomas Jefferson's birthday and a date celebrated by the democratic party. Possibly they should make it a national holiday. It seems as if April 16th. is a holiday in Boston or some place, in a possible comemoration of the Battle of Lexington and Concord, which also occurred around this time of year in 1775. As to Patrick Henry's speech I've also downloaded that and would like to quote the last paragraph of it right now:

It is in vain, sir, to extentuate the matter. Gentlemen may cry, Peace, Peace--but there is no peace. The war is actually begun! The next gale that sweeps from the north will bring to our ears the clash of resounding arms! Our brethren are already in the field! Why stand we here idle? What is it that gentlemen wish? What would they have? Is life so dear, or peace so sweet, as to be purchased at the price of chains and slavery? Forbid it, Almighty God! I know not what course others may take; but as for me, give me liberty or give me death!

Patrick Henry was against the Constitution and also wrote against James Madison. However one source says that in his final years he was almost appointed by John Adams to a post but declined it due to failing health. Patrick Henry did not survive the century. Thomas Jefferson believed in an educated citizenry and promoted free education. He was one of those "Jack of all trades" kind of guy, and even played the violin. He liked to "fiddle around".

Some may wonder whether Abraham Lincoln was a tyrant. He did suspend the right of habious corpus before George Bush thought of it. If southern generals had gone up North I wonder whether they would burn down towns the way northern generals did? I looked up the Confederate Constitution and the wording in many places is almost identical to ours, except they had the intellectual honisty to include the word "Slaves" rather than "other persons". It is said that Robert E Lee was loyal both to America, which he loved, but also to his beloved state of Virginia, which he loved more. He would not turn the sword upon native soil. Personally I think South Carolina or any other state has the right to fly the Confederate flag over any public building they want. Of course I also believe the same thing about crosses. As far as I'm concerned we could use a little more "States rights" and "Popular sovreignty" as Stephen Douglas talked about. Apparently before the Civil War they used to use the phrase "The United States are- - - ect. ect." and after the war they reverted to the less gramiticly correct "The United States Is- - - ". The thing is government is getting too big and we are trying to micro manage too many issues, that would best be handled by popular will of each state.

I'd like to talk a little about Dennis Prager, now that I peal off my white mask and reveale my true identity. Dennis Prager is one of those people who makes less and less sense every time you hear him. Today he was talking about the Don Imus racial and sexual slurr against the female Rutkers NCAA team you've all been saturated with. It's one thing to say "The remark should be kept in perspective". After all Imus was fired by CBS and yet people like Howard Stern, Bill Handel and Rush Limbaugh are allowed to go their merry way and nobody will touch them. It's one thing to say "The remark doesn't bother me that much" but it's quite another to "go over to the Other Side" like Dennis Prager has done. He's taken to attacking Rev. Al Sharpton and Jesse Jackson and everyone in the media who has been critizing these bigoted sexist words. It would seem that Prager seems to have some latent emotional need to defend Imas and criticize anyone would condemn him. Prager then went on a personal attack of Jesse Jackson calling him all sorts of names. But then Prager got screwyer. He began talking about the Jews and the Haulocost. He says that the difference is when Jesse talks about Black slavery, Prager takes it as a personal affront like he's being criticized personally. I'll say this by way of differentiation. I think anti semitisum is a thing of the past. We outgrew it fifty years ago and the Christian Church seems to finally be outgrowing it after thousands of years. Prager went on to note that the Christian Church is the Jew's best friend. That's like a Jew having Joseph Geobles as his best friend. Christianity is founded at its very core on an anti semetic proposition and Jews for two thousand years have pretty much gotten the message. The thing about slaver verses Vookenvald or other internment camps is that nobody stereotyped the Jew in this country as someone deserving of extermination. However there are people who would like to put the chains of slavery back on the Black man. There are basically four races we in this country are racist against. They are the African-American, the American Indian. the Chicano, and the Arab people. With these four the stereotypes are still in force. And this my friend is why Jesse Jackson makes the differentiation he does. But Dennis went on to talk about inter-racial marriage in his own strange manner. Dennis said that it would be better of you're a KKK style Christian to marry a black KKK member if you can find one, rather than marry a white exestentialist or something. For Prager it isn't race but "Values". The only problem is that different races have different values. So it's bigotry under a different name. Prager is a strange bird anyhow because at times he's for a generic "Brand X Religion" or "Religion for Religion's sake". At other times he seems to have definite ideas of what a proper religion should be even if he redefines them like he likes to redefine Christianity. The thing is say I'm white and I marry a Black woman with Larry Elder values. As such she's a woman who basically hates her own race. She's an Oreo. A KKK with dark skin. Just how are the children going to grow up if it isn't hating their own race because of their mother? Then they'll have to go into psycho therapy or something. Personally I have a bias against saying "Youre stripes and I'm pocadot and never the twain shall meet". Back in Patrick Henry's day people were actually MOVED to another point of view by hearing a speech. But today we have all these labels, labels, labels, which must not be disturbed, and Prager wants to be sure they're segragated.

Yesterday the Bush Adminestration was discovered to be withholding key White House E mails. But as they say "You can't erase things any more. They've gone through too many servers". Technical people can apparently retrieve all sorts of deleted items. It's a bit of a parrellel to the Nixon Adminestration and the eighteen minute gap caused when Rosemary Woods erased the tapes "accidently". People discussed it and it's anybody's guess whether Impeachment will gain traction. "Sic Semper Tyranus" is my motto. It was pointed out that Richard Nixon was not from a ruling oil barron dynesty. Nixon was a poor boy who made good, like Elvis. As such he was still in contact with what it's like to be poor. With Bush the words come to mind, "You sail the seas to win one convirt and when you've won him you make him twice the child of Satan you yourselves are". There is this "devolution" in the children of rich families the farther they get from any contact with the real world. I was reading O Bama's book today and his sentaments seem to echo closely those of Thom Hartman. Things are so biased in favor of business. I read that the Estate tax is now tax free for the first four million, and they are going to raise that to seven million! "oooohweeeh!" That's tall cotton. I don't think we have to worry about these people being thrown into the poor house anytime soon. Apparently the top 36% of the tax refund does to the top richest one percent of the population. (Selah)

April 13th. 1976 was the first time I actually met Zachery face to face. I guess some may ask where he got his blond hair and blue eyes from. On this date Pete Richards and I and Dick Llyle were moving Pete's furnature into the Palm St. house livingroom. This is a few days after the Llyles moved out and just before I moved in. I guess we have to ask ourselves who in the house that day had clossest to blue eyes and blond hair. "Not I, said the little red hen". This of course is just a historic footnote because nothing came of the whole Ziggy's Air Command thing.

"This Is a Lighthouse"

Perhaps it's a comon story circulated in the navy but there was this ship sailing in the night and the first liutennant or whoever said there was another ship headed straight for us. So the Admeral gets on the radio and says to the other ship. "We are on a mission of extreme military importance, change course". The response he got was "Your ship is now in grave danger. Change course". And the Admeral responds, "This is a three star admeral. Change course". And the other guy responds, "this is a 2nd. liutennant. Change course". And the Admeral responds, "This is a battleship, change course". The other guy responds "This is a lighthouse. Change course. We have heard that the era of the battleship, metaphorically or otherwise is over. According to Mark Campbell, "ships" on a sea represent organized religion on terra ferma. They said that in World War II the battleship became obsolete during the War. The Japanese tought us a valuable lesson at Pearl Harbor how much damage aircraft could do. It would seem that in the following months the allies continued to lose ground in the Pacific. Then at the battle of Midway in June of 1942, we outsmarted the Japanese by luring them into a trap. Apparently we wern't sure that "A F" meant Midway but we lured them into some conversation where they confirmed that themselves. Apparently we wiped out their whole air fource in that battle. Dozens of planes were lost and from then on there was a steady but certain tide of victory. But tword the end of the war they brought in their "secreat weapon" the battleship Yamato, which promptly got sunk in its first battle engagements. Apparently guns, no matter how massive they are, are no match for aircraft, so the aircraft carrier became the coming thing. I think there is a metaphysical application here. Marcus and I are always doing "philosophical combat". I think perhaps we declared a truce this morning. Yesterday Marcus left the chess game we were playing afraid that I had some secret plan to wipe him out. I think whether it be a war of words or of weapons, we are always "fighting the last war". Marcus said this morning that all politics is really irrelivant when you think about it. Many of the struggles mankind is going through on planet earth such as global warming, are issues that transcend mere democratic or republican politics. Religion has this fantassy of this ultimate "Battle" that's fought with heavenly horsemen and heavenly swords on a conventional battle ground. And yet it was the Apostle Paul himself who said "We battle not against flesh and blood but spiritual principalities and authorities". Like World War II the key to the battle is "in the air" rather than in the physical battle of human beings here on the ground. We we alluded to a month or so back there are three realms we have to be cognizant of. The first is that "Egyptian pallace" we alluded to on the last file where God "lives" and is secure from all evil. The next realm is what the Apostle Paul alternatly calls "The powers of the air" or "the heavenlies". This is the area where angels and demons to battle and some say the outcome of the battles here determans the fats of us humans on terra ferma, just as the inferioritity of Japan's air fource determined the fate of their losing battle ship battles on the ground. Edwin was talking about three dimensional chess and how they actually have tripple decker chess games just like Star Trek. I'd be curious to play such a game. Obviously certain factors such as players being "bottled up" would be less relivent but other factors would be more relivant. I guess what Political pundants have to ask themselves now is not "Who has raised the most money" but "Who is winning the Battle of the Air" and I refer to that psychic dimension. Even Marcus will admit Mc Cain has his good points. But Mc Cain, no matter what the outcome of the Iraq War, seems to be the loser already in the "War of the psyches". Ordenary battleship to battleship combat became obsolete sometime during the course of World War II. It's the "Battle of the air" or "The battle of the heavenlys" or battle in the psychic dimension that counts. Like three dimensional chess you have to learn to think in an added dimension you've never thought in before. If we may reverse Jesus' words to St. Peter, "Whatever goes on in heaven will dictate what happens on earth".

I just heard this is the coldest April in 113 years. Actually there isn't much going on right now. Some may say this blog is "filler material". I guess it's one of those "canned sermons" that preachers use where is nothing in the Newspaper headlines to draw from. I don't know the future. There may be an exciting story just around the corner and if there is I'll write on that subject. But today is not that day. We're stuck with the same recycled stories as follows:

The father of Anna Nicole’s baby girl has been determined at last. It’s that blonde haired Larry guy and not Howard K. Stern. But these two are going to team together to work to insure that Anna Nicole’s mother doesn’t get custody of the daughter in Texas.

The rape charges of the lacross team at Duke have finally been dismissed. The D A pronounced all three defendants completely innocent and legal action may be taken against him but no legal action is contemplated against the woman bringing charges.

The tours of duty of US troops going to Iraq had been universally extended fron one year to fifteen months for everybody except Marines and the National Guard. This is a sure sign of desperation of the Bush team. They expect the surge to last well over a year. They are predicting cooler weather here but it’s been quite temperate here.

The State legislature is contemplating a law to require the universal spaying and neutering of all dogs and cats who aren’t either police or guard dogs or professional breeders to pay a hundred dollar fee. The fine will be five hundred. I think this law is an absurd intrusion into the rights of private citizens what they can do with their own property. Of course they want those police dogs in primed biting mode.

Police chief Parker was really a died in the wool bigot according to Randy Rhodes. He went so far as to import cops from the most bigoted police departments to insure that those Negroes who moved out here got the “proper treatement”.

I had psychic Sylvia Brown on again on Montell Williams. This week she predicted that US troops in Iraq would be coming home this year rather than in 2008 or 2009. That’s good news. The only question is how. Whoever puts on the show wants to show her as always right and there were indications today’s show was a rerun so they could easily have done a little snip snip if they had wanted to expunge any flaw on her otherwise perfect readings. She seems to be a regular Wednesday fixture. She said that the “veil” between the living and the dead has gotten thinner over the decades.

In soap land the death of E J Wells appears to be a long way off. Patch had every chance to kill him and chose not to. Talk about temptation. If you’re already in a psycho ward what better chance to cop a plea of insanity? I don’t know HOW Sammy can possibly succeed with her set the cabin on fire plan tomorrow but we know THAT the plan will be a success because she’s marrying Lucas. We know that and this could not possibly happen now with E J still around. Passions is getting sillier by the day from that drop the weight on Whitney’s head ploy of Vince to this farce of a trial which has begun that breaks so many legal precedents it would take a hundred pounds of legal papers to chronicle them all Of course Jessica is pregnant and I don’t understand that, with all the John’s she’s had sex with, she’ll really keep Maurie Povitch busy.

Another coyote has ventured into an urban area but this one’s life will be spared. The humane society stepped in to relocate the animal. I think coyote's are kind of cute.

President Bush wants to create the position of “War Tsar” now. This position is some level higher than cabinet that reports directly to the President and it’s yet to be determined just how this proposed official will be chosen. Will it bypass a senate vote? The job will be to oversee both the Iraq war and the war in Afghanistan.

I watched Jim Lerr tonight. They had the genocide in Darfore. Now the violence of that terrorist group has spread westward into Chad where the slaughter and the burning of villages goes on. There is talk of sending in a UN force but they keep putting off making any decision. Sen. Joe Byden wants to send in the military. People think the Bush administration is dragging its feet. There was a segment on the John Mc Cain campaign. Then they talked about the danger of cell phone GPS which they have now and they’re selling to ordinary customers. Some want to make it available for just their delivery employees and they promise that information will be deleted from its records as soon as it’s been specifically used. But others fear they could sell the information to either police or tax authorities or else sell the information to other businesses to use for their own natharious purposes. A jealous stalker could even get hold of it and a divorced wife might be stalked by an estranged husband. Finally they had a segment on the cardon “offset” tax. If you do things like buy a share of a tree forest you get positive credits for saving the CO2 but if you burn too much fossil fuel you get taxed. They say the tax is calibrated to be revenue neutral. It sounds like an interesting idea.

Four Years of Iraq Occupation

Today is April 9th. and the 42nd. anniversary of the Beatles' release of the "Ticket to Ride" single in April 1965, and the first single of the year to use new material. Today is the fourth anniversary of the pulling down of the statue of Saddam Hussein in Iraq. Today there are demonstrations in Iraq and the US is calling that a good thing since "Saddam would never have allowed any demonstrations". Of course it's the first time the citizens of the US and Iraq actually agree on something. They both want the US to pull out of Iraq. Today's Shiite demonstration was organized by Al Sadir, or whatever his name is. John Mc Cain of course was made a fool of on Sixty Minutes with his foray into an Iraqi market place to buy some throw rugs. The trip was made with extreme military securety on Mc Cain's part complete with hilocopters overhead. It seems that the Republicans are not satisfied with any of their candidates running for President but to be frank, I think the odds of anyone else getting over at this point and taking over the lead are pretty slim at this point. If this were thirty or forty years ago it would be a different story but things are already at this date becomming rather fixed and inflexable. If there were any conservatives who actually had a brain they would have gotten into the race by now. Of course they are taxing our military further by more frequent tours of duty by the national guard and reservists, decreasing the "down time". These troops don't even have the time to get adequate training in desert warfare. Bush doesn't care. As Randy Rhodes says Bush is probably the kind of guy who as a kid left his GI Joes out in the sand box for other kids to steal. And his mother Barbera would make remarks "Well it worked out well for those toys. At least they're still not back at the department store". Basically we all in America are pretty "used" to the whole status quo in Iraq and the overtaxing of our military. The ammount of sacrifice outsiders are expected to bear is minimal to zero. We are all primed into the mindset of "If there is the slightest little glimmer of hope in Iraq we'll call it a victory". Indeed American's have forgotten what it's even like NOT to have a war going on all the time. They say the casualty figures for US troops are actually up over the past few weeks.

There's kind of a whole "elephant in the room" we didn't even talk about in the last file when we were making predictions about the economy. The whole giant variable I left out was the coming world wide energy resource crisis. It would seem virtually ALL of the oil producers are in declining production - not because they want to be but because their wells are running dry. All the major countries are averaging a drop of ten percent per year. This is one of the reasons why Iran wants to go nuclear in the first place. Mexico will soon turn from being a net exporter of oil to a net importer of oil. Of course there is also talk of wiping out all economic borders between Canada, Mexico, and the US but that topic is for another day. Because of the world wide drop in oil reserves EVERY nation will be scrambling for other energy resources. It seems the reason why the drop is so steep is because we use such advanced technology to suck the oil out of all surrounding ground that once it begins to go it goes quickly. There is no slow twenty or thirty year decline like we had with oil wells in this country many long decades ago. It would appear that nuclear is the only viable option on a mass scale with our current technology. Every other form of energy from ethanol to solar to wind just doesn't seem to work on a mass scale. If it did some bright person would have put it into place before now. As far as nuclear is concerned it is clean with no green house gas emmisions, so it won't contribute to global warming. There is just so much hysteria in this country because of Three Mile Island. Alice Cooper sang "I want to live on Three Mile Island, where things are clean and neat. And we don't have no health freaks - cluttering up our street". It would seem France has solved the spent fuel rods problem by building a plant to actually reuse nuclear waste. But the danger of this plant is that it produces dangerous ammounts of Plutonium that some terrorist could get a hold of. We in America have to actually sit down and ask ourselves the hard questions of what we really want? Do we want continued global warming or some "Jerry Brown" style massice economic depression, or do we want to continue our life styles reasonally uninterrupted from what they were before? I think there will be some alarming downturns in economic indicators as the world "transitions" to an alternate energy resource. In terms of my prediction about the firings of Rove, Gonsolez and even Chaney's resignation- - - I played what I call the astrological probabilities, and lost.

I want to talk about that Smallville episode a bit. Lex Luther was shot and it was feared he would be paralyzed, and his doctors announced this as a foregone conclusion. But his father wouldn’t hear of it and took him to a Metropolis specialist to have the needed expert surgery. While under the knife Lex imagined he was happily married to the wife of his dreams and a young son and a daughter on the way. They were going to pick out a Christmas tree. But the day turns to tradgity when the wife dies while giving birth because she was hemeraging. Embittered Lex when he awakes makes a key decision to insure that what he just witnessed didn’t happen, and who can blame him? The moral is you have to watch out for the hidden serpent in Christian revelations. I would like to add that certain things are more crutial when you LOSE them than other things. If you're Newt Gingrich or Rudolpi Guiliani the loss of a wife is no big thing. But if you've made an emotional investment in a person and particularly of this person is an "inspiration" to you and you center and mold your whole life around them, then their loss can be devistating. What if people at a Billy Grahm rally in 1959 all had a massive revelation that God was going to die of a terminal desease in seven years? How many of them would chose to walk down that path? Seven years is nice, but it isn't your whole life. Sometimes you decide to make a key decision in your life with the information you have - - and you're glad you made it even if others are forever playing the "if only" game with you. I was going to elaborate, but I've decided I won't.

AND NOW - - A RANDY RHODES STYLE NEWS BLURB

Picture the Throne Room of Heaven. The heavenly "Pallace" where the Great White Throne is located from when the Last Judgement is issued on all mankind. Now it is the final victory of Jesus Christ, the Son of God over Satan and Jesus is leading Satan in before God (Seti) to announce Judgement. Of course Jesus is dressed like Moses in this sketch and Satan is the same black actor who played Judas in Jesus Christ Superstar. And all the while going through the pallace and up to the throne some announcer is decreeing the Sins of Satan and the Victories that were accomplished over him by Jesus Christ. Meanwhile God (Seti) whispers to Pope Benedict XVI (Nefritiri) "The old wind bag" and the Pope responds, "He's a man after my own heart. They get to the front of the Pallace and Marcus Arelius (Ramses) dressed in a Roman Uniform says "This man should have been brought in chains. Command that he be put in chains". Jesus (Moses) says, "If that the way you would deal with it, my brother?" Marcus Arelius: "Whjy do you call me Brother now. You've never called me brother before Jesus: "Ramses, why are you in that uniform?" Marcus Arelius: "Because I'm not a hypocrite like you pretending to be the deliveror of a race but in reality doing nothing for your own people, whom you seem to have completely abandoned out of some excuse of human weakness". Jesus: "Take that Uniform off. You are not worthy of it. Romans I know, but I don't know You". Marcus Arelius: "But behold here I am wearing this Uniform". Jesus: "Romans are good people. You can trust Romans. Romans are friends of mine, and my friend Marcus, You are no Roman". Marcus Arelius: "That remark will come back to haunt you some day. The glory you accuse me of lacking will in the end be denied to you". God (alias "Seti") Will you two quick bickering? We have to remember why we are gathered together today. (turns to Satan) We welcome you in friendship to help guard our southern flank". Satan (alias Judas) "I have but one thing to ask of our new Friendship and that is that I offer your son Jesus the gift of this green stone (an emerald for those of you in Rio Linda) to be worn by your son as a token of our friendship, for he is wise and he is kind." Jesus looks at the stone and at its greenness and goes into some kind of a Trance. He's obcessed that the stone is talking to him and starts saying "No, you want me to be reincarnated again as a man, I will not. You say I was not really touched by the slavery of my race before? Behold I am God and servitude is unknown to me, as is sin unknown to me. No female vagina has ever defiled me. I'm used to coming on the scene when I'm thirty and leaving when I turn thirty three. I have never known fallible DNA". Others are now saying "Give him herbs, he's in a hysterical state. Jesus collapses with a dazed look on his face and he's wandering around in his mind in the Sea of Green and sees Ned Flanders passing the other waving out of a yellow submarine "Why, Howdy neighbor!". Jesus starts swimming frantically as if to escape that which is all around him. He sees a light and swims tword it. He pokes his head out through the hole and sees a giant curved surface with four thousand black holes and he becomes afraid and ducks his head back under water and sayd to this Force talking to him from the sea of green and says, "Allright, I'll do it".

For the record it's the Federation's belief that Jesus has never been reincarnated on earth. Some of you are wondering about our last file. That rapture seems to occur on a two or three day old crescent moon not unlike the Agents of Fortune album cover. The event occurs in the year of the metal Tiger. The city of Portland has another significance other than just a city at random. That "house" in Glendora also reenters the story later as a certain married couple with two kids takes out one of these "low interest balloon payment" mortgages offered by the wife of Gianni Versachi, who'se name just happens to be beauty contest sinner in 1996Jean Benet with Ramsey as her maiden name, you know, one of those "trophey wives". The name Hancock is a tribute to a friend and neighbor of mine who died of a heart attack in July of 1997 in the apartment I lived at.

The DeFalco Papers

The following uses the fictional format to put forth a few ideas that would sound insane were I to state them outright. Another title for this production might be "Bob Dylans 120th. Dream"

It all started on Wednesday October 4th. 2007 when Robert J DeFalco put in his blog that there was going to be an extraterriestrial rapture of souls over the earth by the Orion Federation. Robert got a message from the Federation that he wasn't being fair to that Hobbs philosopher guy in yesterday's blog and that Hobbs was a real straight shooter who was able to integrate mathematical principles with human philosophy and wrote on such subjects as "the oregon of all human thought". In his later years he was accused of being an athiest and Hobbs felt so pressured he actually burned some of his own unpublished works. He believed competetion in its most unfettered raw form was something we inhereted from the animals. Only that he believed that superior human beings (whom the Federation lables ubermann, of course) needed to rule mankind because society was the thing that civilized man. His beliefs about earthlings fell right into the Federation's own beliefs about earthlings, that they needed to be guided.

The rapture was supposed to take place at a quarter to seven in the evening central standard time, or about sunset in the nation's mid section on a Saturday night October 9th. 2010. The number 2010 is frought with cosmic significance being the continuation of a 28 year cycle and also the bottom of any economy. The number printed out in binary code is 10-10-10, or rather that is the numberf 42, which was 42 months from the time of writing the blog and therefore he got "early warning". It was also stated that on October 1st. which is a Friday of 2010 that the Elect (some might say "targets") would be "notified" that they would be among the ones to go and to put their affairs in order to lessen their loved one's sense of chaos. This number again on the binary scheme of things is 10-01-10. this is the number 38, which stands for secrets, as does the number 19 which in the ZAC tarrot deck is the Hermet or philosopher, an old man climbing a mountain with a lantern and a sheep at his feet. The numbers 19, 38, and 42 have in comon three ones when written in binary code. In the song "Come Together" there is the line "One, and one and one is three - - got to be good looking 'cause he's so hard to see". In other words this line refers to someone disappearing. The rapture will occurr at twelve midnight in London (where Abbey Road was produced) because any reaming numbers have to be zeroes and zero hour is midnight. However due to sun irregularities the moment will occur when the sun crosses its nadir at about a quarter to one. So that will be a quarter to five in California. No doubt a baseball play-off game will be getting ready to come on national TV.

[parenthetically back in 1994 I did a skit which mocked the Forrest Gump movie that had "the end" come this same weekend, Columbus Day weekend. In this skit Forrest Gump is mocked from the left as being too right wing. In the Bob Dylan song "115th. Dream" there is a reference to it being Columbus Day because Columbus shows up. This is taken as a sign]

That psychic on the Montell Williams was wrong on two counts in my oppinion today. She was wrong about calling that Black guy from the audience and saying that his grandmother was concerned about his cholesterol intake. She didn't have a clue about his grandmother. The other area where she was wrong is in saying the economy would start to really improve this coming fall. My advice to you is if you see ANY improvement AT ALL this fall, take the oppertunity to get out of any stocks you are in and if you have a business intrest you're not sure about Sell It, because never again will the ecnonmy be so healthy. The economy will be looking just a little green around the gills next year during election time. But it's something that nobody will talk about that much because nobody wants to admit the problem. This is government spending and the trade deficet with China and all the over-spending and bad credit on a personal level. These will only get worse. They will be worse in 2009 than 2008 and in the year 2010 the economy will fall apart and the stock market will collapse. You know if you extend a "base line from the bottom of the D J I in 1962 and the bottom in 1982 and you extend a line to 2010 you have got a pretty good idea where the "bottom" will be.

Yes, Mit Romney did better than people expected, but we anticipated it. The whole Iran - Brittain thing didn't ammount to anything. We anticipated that. Next year "Omar Assad" as we are renaming him, made an impressive run for the presidency pulling in lots of money. But Omar Assad was attacked by whites because he was too Black and by Blacks because he wasn't "black enough". There was also a mafia figure who was funding the Hillary campaign but in this movie she is known as "Jamie Clanton" or "J C" for short. This mafia boss's name was Gianni Versace, who contrary to belief didn't die on July 15th. 1997. All of his friends knew that he wasn't dead. He had nine lives. As such he took on the nickname "Morris". (everyone had nicknames in this story) Versace had children all over the world. A lot of his children ended up dead. He had a daughter and grandson who died in a train explosion in Italy. He had a son, Antonio who died in a plane explosion as an enemy had set a bomb in it ready to go off. He had one daughter he called "Golden Girl" (I can't imagine why) who was electrocuted in a jacuzzi, in an incident she was rigging up for a rival but got caught in it herself. And he had two adopted children but one of them was sold into female slave trade ten years ago. He also had a son named Benji or "son of my right hand" who was in good standing. He also fathered a child about sixty years ago or about 1950 named Roberto. For various reasons he allowed him to be adopted out to the De Falco family in California and decided to leave him as a mole or "sleeper" to be trained later. But the training didn't go so well. In the limited exposure Roberto had to mafia life from January 1974 for a couple years, Gianni wasn't pleased when he read the written report. "He's too ethical. I'm not sure he has the mafia gene". Of course the guy he was working for was named Richard Howard. Actually his real name was Howard Richards. But he was a relative of sorts being the adopted son of his older half-sister's daughter. Howard also displeased Gianni with his performance so Gianni had him killed. Shortly after this Roberto (everyone called him Bobby in california) became a Born Again Christian in California on March 24th. 1976. This enraged Gianni and he tried many times to put to death the guy who had led him to the Lord, Pete Richards, Howard's "younger brother". But each time his vengance failed. "He's like some holy man, protected by Amasing Grace" Gianni sighs. He and his brother lived in a house at 1202 Banyon St. several blocks south of where the train tracks ran down the boulivard. Gianni was successful in funding the "Jamie Clanton" campaign. Gianni said he did what John Kennedy did in the West Virginia primary on May 10th. 1060. He took people who were naturally inclined to vote for Humphrey and drowned their will in money. With "Jamie" now the democratic standard and Donald Roselli the republican standard the campaign was set to begin. Donald Roselli was police comissioner of New York city. He was known for being bold and a little biggotted and had a definitely "liberal" policy with the police baton. He was roomered to have Mafia ties but the Democrats were never able to prove anything. In terms of his political platform Gianni Versace dictated that. He was now to be pro stem cell research of a most extreme kind. Gianni wanted to implant Frankish genes in the Italian race to make them smarter. He also wanted liberalized Euthanisia laws or Dr. assisted suicide, perhaps for obvious reasons. (it makes his job easier) And he wanted an avid pro abortionist policy. Gianni laid down the law and Donald Roselli followed it. Donald had the nickname of "Duck", which attracted a lot of mockery. "Duck" was really cocky about his name and if you snickered or mocked it he would punch you out. "Duck" was known for his outbursts of temper he was told by his handelers to keep under raps untill the fall campaign was done.

On January 20th. 2009 "Duck" Roselli took office as President with Fred Thompson as his vice president. You don't need a crystal ball to see what happens. The economy is obviously in trouble and the Federal Reserve people were scared because they knew they didn't have the power to "Fix" it this time. Smoking bans grew. The crackdown on child molesters continued with more GPS bracelets than ever and perimiters around schools and playgrounds. Of course due to the Patriot law more child preditors would be victims of sting opperations by police, and laws were changed to make mere leud conversation with a minor a serious offence. Right now I'm going to take a hiatus because this computer wants to download something.

The man that Donald "Duck" Roselli replaced was republican John Paul Plant. Plant had sort of a mini popularity surge in the last year of his Presidency after sagging badly throughout most of his second term. He had finally "gotten the word" and started arranging peace deals between Isrial and their enemy Syria and his "surge" policy in Iraq actually seemed to be making some progress. Many Americans still despized President John Paul, however. Plant retired to plan his presidential library known tenatively as the Plant Plant. But danger signs were cropping up in Iran as they announced they had the Bomb. Many people, such as radio comentator Randy Rhodes had said mockingly during the campaign that Iran would have an Atom Bomb before Roselli took office in January. Now that threat was a reality.

Natale Valichi of Portland, democratic speaker of the house was doing investigation into the possible likelyhood that Gianni Versace was alive. What she uncovered was stuff that was vague and shaddowy. She investigated this town named Arimid where adopted children Peter and Kristine spent their child hoods. She also looked into an California alliance with a local church pastor who had recently left a church he had pastored for nineteen boring years. This man's real name was Calvin A. Swan but only his inner circle knew that. If you wanted to unnerve him just call him "Cal" in public. Blogger Robert J De Falco referred to him in his posts as "The asshole from El Paso". This was a mean spirited man who appeared to owe his new found status in the shaddow mafia to Gianni Vercace. Gianni wanted to torment his blood related son in California by letting hin know he was really his father. His adopted parents had never let on his true parentage. Pastor Swan arranged for De Falco to "accidently" find out his true parentage in 1991. In May in a cryptic phone call Swan had told De Falco "I'm one person who will never lie to you". De Falco needed someone to talk to so chose to call up Pastor Swan for pastoral counseling. Swan used these and other phonecalls to torment Swan with knowledge he had that De Falco didn't about his early roots. Parenthetically a social worker in May of 1954 had made the pronouncement that the De Falco household was "mentally unhealthful" to Roberto. Several months later he arranged for De Falco to move to another family. Just after the first of september of 1954 Roberto moved from LA to Glendora into a big new house with four other children. Two girls and two boys and he remembers one of the girls was named Gloria. The parents were named Archie and Edith Hancock. Archie was a sarcastic cuss who chomped on a cigar and was an older man with graying hair and attacked Eisenhaur from the right. His wife Edith was a taller and much younger woman who was very athletic. Just before moving to the new house his old rather De Falco took family movies of him and his brother, Allan at Beverly Park. The last scene on the movie roll with him in it was riding the roller coaster. The next scene was around Christmas with 2 1/2 year old Allan with Christmas presents with a big grin on his face now that he'd eliminated his older brother for attention. There is an odd scene taken from the top of the ice plant hill above their house looking down at his mother, over dressed for the occasion, and son Allan apparently "planting something" in the yard. One thinks of the lyrics "one and one and one is three" But on March 24th. 1955 Gianni Versace arranged for his son to have a DNA test that he had an exclusive monopolo of the technology of and would have for decades. It showed that Gianni was Roberto's father and so Gianni arranged on April 3rd. 1955 to move back to the De Falco household. According to the Federation, April 4th. a monday was the first time Roberto went to the beach, in the morning, and the beach at that time was relatively empty. For more, buy a movie ticket.
