President Bush 41 Dies at age 94


George HW Bush died last night.  They interrupted a program to announce it when I was half asleep.  Bush was 94 when he died.  Barbra died eight months ago and they say that a husband often follows a wife or spouse within a year of their death.   He wanted to know (in the afternoon) whether he would see his dead daughter as a child or as a full grown adult.   President Bush was the last veteran to serve as president and the last representative of “the greatest generation” and the last war hero in WW II.   He was a young pilot.   President Bush is best known for Opporation Desert Storm and how he showed restraint during this war and called off the invasion after only four days of ground activity in late February of 1991.  However he was also known as the last “new world order” president.  He “opened up China” all right, but only to offer them “most favored nation” status at a time in the spring of 1989 when China was most cracking down on civil liberties.  He was an ambassador to China and had that “China connection” while running for CIA chief.  I remember writing Stewart Mc Bernie a letter around November of 1975 in which I opined that Nixon should have kept on Willian Colby as CIA chief because I didn’t really trust this new guy.  Of course there was a lot of UFO stuff floating around in the fall of 1975 and I have discussed this on blog postings.  Of course HW Bush failed to get re-elected primarily because he had mis-managed the economy so bad.  There was this extended period of economic malaise that began in the second half of 1990 and was still lingering in 1992.  And Bush 41 also drove up the deficit sky high.   Bush was kind of “deep sixed” as vice president under Reagan but he is celebrated now at the Reagan library.  

There was a bad earthquake in Anchorage, Alaska yesterday morning about nine thirty our time.  This should have been seven thirty their time but strangely they are now only an hour behind us.  The sun had not risen when the earthquake struck just seven miles away.  But the impact was worse than Northridge even though it was just 7.0 and only .2 higher than Northridge.  This is because of the liquefaction that plagued the soil around there and all sorts of roads buckled.  The airport was unusable and the incoming flights had to be aborted at the last minute.  There was one CBS studio that suffered extensive damage with tapes falling off the shelves and light fixtures and portions of the ceiling falling down on people who had to duck under their sturdy desks.  This building was built up to code.  Of course the days are a lot shorter in Alaska than they are here this time of year.   At 7.0 this was too small to set off a Tsunami, and the alert was canceled after a few minutes.  President Trump has offered a very affirmative tweet saying God bless everybody and stuff.  This may be because Alascans are Republicans.  Sarah Palin’s parents house suffered damage there in Wassilla.  (sp?)


. This morning Chris Matthews showed a map of the states from left to right and there have to be 25 Democrats who are thinking of running for president in the Democratic Party right now.  They'll have to have three tiers of debates.  People around President Trump continue to turn against him   Michael Koehn has pled guilty to certain charges such as collusion with Russia.  I think it's more than a matter of building a Trump Complex in Russia.  For that matter it's more than whether talk was termanated in January or June of 2016,  We don't know whether talks went on with Russia after this.  We assume it did.    Trump has hated Koehn for months now and considers him a traitor.  Meanwhile Paul Manifort has balked and refused to cooperate with the government. Of course dangeling that presidential pardon out there changes one's whole perception.  He doesn't want to desert Trump; if there's a get out of jail card free in his future. Two days ago the government accused Manifort of lying and have hard evidence that he is indeed lying.  Manifort says “I’m not going to lie just to shorten my sentence”.  But what has really happened is that Manifort instead of giving information had been getting information from the government about what information they’ve got against Trump, and Trump can readjust his strategy accordingly.  Meanwhile the China deal has been discussed and Trump thinks all these terrifs that are crippling the economy now- - - are a good thing.  Of course you can tell when Trump is lying when you see his lips move.  Meanwhile you have Melonia and the flaming red Christmas trees in the east wing of the White House.  If the First Lady loves then then all of Trump’s supporters love them even though images of “The Shining” are evoked. 

.  This is Friday November 30, 2018 and it’s St Andrew’s Day.  It’s semi-officially known as “rapture day” in the Federation.  The psychedelic vibes were at their maximum peak on November 30th of 1967. Advent is the start of the Church year and both the Jews and Christians start off this period by lighting candles.   I wanted to mention how my view of the extra terriestrial world is one of pluralism.  But there is an god, an AXIS that turns the universe according to Federation theology.  We can call the Seven Sisters or the Pliades "God" and Alcyone is their chief.   However unlike what the astronomers say, it's actually the dimmest star of the seven sisters that is the Ruler.   So it's pluralism with a god who calls the ultimate shots as to what happens in this Universe.  It’s ten to nine and KNXT news is on.  I had on Frangela for a while from Stephanie at eight and then I switched to Nancy Pelosi and her press conference today.  This morning I got up at five minutes to five.  This is when I first woke up.  I didn’t wake up for any bathroom breaks during the night  I didn’t shower.   I wanted to mention the rock compelations the Federation has done.  They started them in September of 2004 so there was a fourteen year run of compelations.  There will be no changes to "The New Normal" out in July despite what we hinted at on a recent posting.  However there may be another compelation of songs out from the early sixties.
