Terrorist Bomber Indicted in Boston

Here is a news story that will most likely make tonight's news. Strangely enough however there has been not one reference to the following story. But it's here in black and white so obviously I didn't dream it. A federal grand jury in Boston has indicted a 26-year-old man for allegedly plotting to use model airplanes to attack the Pentagon and U.S. Capitol, the U.S. Department of Justice said Thursday. That sounds like an awful lot of stuff. Rezwan Ferdaus, a U.S. citizen from Ashland, Massachusetts, was arrested Wednesday. Authorities said he planned to use large, remote-controlled model aircraft filled with C-4 plastic explosives against the targets. As a result of an undercover FBI investigation, Ferdaus, who has a physics degree from Northeastern University in Boston, was charged with attempting to provide material support and resources to Al Qaeda for attacks on U.S. soldiers overseas, authorities said. A law enforcement official said Ferdaus posed no immediate danger to the public because undercover operatives kept in close contact with him. Let's hope so. There is no information suggesting he was connected to a foreign terrorist organization, the source said, adding he was apparently radicalized by watching videos on the internet. Of course they all say that. It's a story that if spread enough might prompt a congressional crack down on the internet. The investigation also involved a cooperating witness, and authorities began recording conversations between that witness and Ferdaus in January, authorities said. Ferdaus began planning a violent "jihad" against America in early 2010, authorities said, and he began supplying the FBI undercover agents with cell phones rigged to act as electric switches for improved explosive devices, intended to be used to kill U.S. soldiers overseas. Undercover federal agents gave Ferdaus 25 pounds of fake C-4 explosives. Only a very small amount of it was the real thing, the source said. The FBI agents also gave Ferdaus six AK-47 assault rifles and three grenades, but they weren't functional, the source said. I don't know. I guess the Feds know what they are doing. Between May and September, Ferdaus also ordered and acquired a $6,500 remote-controlled aircraft, an F-86 Sabre, that he kept under a false name in a rented storage facility in Framingham, Massachusetts, authorities said. He also planned to use other remote-controlled models of military aircraft, authorities said. The models he planned to use are about one-tenth the size of the actual aircraft. A detention hearing for Ferdaus, who is not married and has no children, is scheduled for Monday. I guess the conclusion is if you're not married and don't have children you are at higher risk for being a terrorist, particularly if you're young. This whole story is a little hard to swallow. It's somehow a little too "lone wolf" for me. That woman in Saudi Arabia who drove in public in protest was sentenced to ten lashes with a whip. But the Saudi king stayed the sentence so she won't be flogged.

It’s not that I want to take part in any kind of quiz

It’s just that I ain’t got no watch and you keep asking what time it is.

-BOB DYLAN - - "Oh, I get it; the girlfriend is a terrorist!"

This may come as a horrible surprise to you but nobody is perfect. Hell, this posting could be Andy Rooney’s last post. The one he decided not to use. Since this blog will be the headliner for a while I’m going to cut way down on the really weird stuff, but they’ll be enough of that later anyhow. You know it could actually be argued that being flawed is a part of being human. Even dead people aren’t perfect. In fact if we ever met a HAL like human being who was constantly being asked by people, “How does it feel being perfect and all?” I would feel rather uncomfortable around such an individual. Marcia asked that question of Elder Seid the other Sunday night about “Will be learn there in heaven what we failed to learn here?” Actually there is a scripture that states that “We shall know God just as we are now known by him”. I don’t know if you can infer from that that we will know everything about everything. The thing I was going to “do” about Dennis Wilson in part talked about how he forms certain values, even after death, that are based upon his own personal perspective, that I wouldn’t share. I want to just get this other example in here from June of 1997. You know sometimes we think we are “sure what is happening” when we really have entirely the wrong impression. At my brother’s graduation party people said they had this “gift” for him and “I think it’s being transported right now”. Suddenly I heard this big barking up a storm and the sound of a gate being opened and closed at the side of the house and the scuffeling of feet. “They’ve giving my brother a dog?” I thought. No, it was just a big potted plant, and the neighbor’s dog heard the noise and began barking. This is what a lot of people do in life. They put two and two together and get 22. May I suggest that it’s particularly important that we not do this with God, and I don’t claim exemption here. If we make inferences we shouldn’t we arrive at a point in life where we need to unlearn a lot of conclusions. You know one of the top twenty most profound philosophical truths I’ve heard in my whole life comes from a Paul Revere and the Raiders song. In the song “Kicks” there is the line ‘You see no matter what you do; you’ll never run away from you”. That’s such a profound truth I should have included it in my book. But then people would accuse me of “denying the cleansing power of the blood of Christ”. If we are here, as Mark Bove says, to get our rough edges smoothed out so we make better cogs in God’s assembly line, then it does us well to learn the lessons God has for us today. Because if we don’t instead of getting tomorrow’s blessing, God may give us today’s test over again until we pass it. That’s another Mark Bove line. Reading in July of 2009 I came across a buried essay in another blog called “The proper use of the green grid”. There are many examples that I used in my Prophecy book that I used in this posting, and as such I recommend you go back and read it. Of course I know the rapture didn’t come last night. That’s about as surprising as learning that Texas governors have a Southern accent. You know back when I was a believer I believed if you deviated from “The Way” at least you should be honest with yourself and say “You know what- - I’m like Santa in the summer time- - - I’m taking a little time off to live it up a little”. Way back in the Palm Street house there was this guy named Brian A, who later became a brief house mate. And he liked to gossip and go into all this stuff about how people in the church weren’t acting like Christians. So I said “Well then, you should correct them”. And then he turns on me and says “You know, Marcus, one thing you’ll discover is that people aren’t perfect and you have to make allowances”. Well, this was all well and good but after he became a housemate in early June of 1977 an incident occurred where I was asked to do a favor for someone and I refused. Then he goes “You know, Marcus, others put themselves out for you but you won’t put yourself for anybody else”. Personally I think he was false on both counts. But it does to show how someone can turn on a dime on an issue when it suits their fancy. As astronomers we are not always “facing north” as we should be, but at least we should know where the North Star is, for heaven’s sake. Ronald Reagan said the most dreaded words in the English language were “I’m from the government, and I’m here to help”. Every time I hear that I think of Eddie Albert and Green Acres and the problems Mr. Albert had farming and the dingbats he had to deal with, and they knew the government didn’t know what it was talking about. One thing people learn to learn, is just WHERE to go to get self improvement. My nine most dreaded words are "We'll understand it all, in the bye and bye". In the case of those song lyrics, they are about a guy whose on a date with a girl and the girl is feeling uncomfortable about being with him- - and the guy isn’t picking up on it. Sometimes Christians are hard to deal with because they practice verbal jujutzu. They send out misleading signals. Yes there is a scripture about a bugler giving an "unclear signal" in a military situation, so that the troops are confounded whether to advance or to retreat. Lack of clarity may be the single biggest factor on why some politicians catch on where others don't.

Apparently Hermon Kane was sending some strange signals in a commercial he ran recently that was profoundly anti Black. Randy Rhodes says, and I agree with her, that many people strike it lucky and make it big, but then pull the ladder up after themselves. Perhaps in response to this Kane ad, they could feature a bunch of people boating in calm waters and it’s such a nice day they all decide to jump into the lake, but then after a few moments someone said “How are we gona get back up. You did let the ladder down didn’t you” and they discover nobody put the ladder out and blame each other. And then the commentator says, “You wouldn’t do this to yourselves, so why do it to your Black brothers? Apparently Randy Rhodes had a black guy from Omaha on her show today and he said "I've known blacks like Kane". If you see the Black struggle as a military campaign, you certainly would do nothing by your own progress to mess it up for the troops that followed behind you. Think about it. The thing is if you had a white guy going through some comedy routine about being a redneck, it would get a lot of laughs. But if a black guy talks about Blacks being shiftless and government welfare leeches, and how you impregnate your “Hoe” girlfriend and then want to kill her seed - - “ suddenly that all gets very un-funny. Meanwhile in the garden state people think Christie's chances aren't so good because he's pro choice and also liberal on other social issues such as tollerance for Islam. OK. I still say that when the republicans began counting their hatched chickens they'll only find one award winner of the entire brood, and that is Governor Christie.

S P A C E - T R U C K I N '

LATE PRE-ADDENDUM: This is a Friday morning addendum September 30th. What I want to know is "Is there money in my Chase account today from SSI or do I have to wait till tomorrow? They just said on the Stephanie Miller show is "The problem with fundamentalist religion is not that they think they are better than you, but they say that "God" thinks they are better than you, so they won't even own up to their own feelings but toss it off on a proxy third party. I wanted to talk about the "Colors planet" that Black Bart talked about years ago. This is the "Deep Purple" planet that also features King Krimson and Pink Floyd. Notibly not BOC. Mal Evans is concerned about his job and just underwent a demotion a couple of months ago, and he's still worried and says he has to watch what he tells me now. To even admit this to me indicates he really is worried. Anyhow both "Pink Floyd" and "King Crimson" are what you call the Birmingham sound refugees from Aldeberan IX. These two groups went to the "Deep Purple" planet, and Mike Bloomfield didn't mention that. The ones who went to that unnamed planet FH couldn't find on the star chart, these people kind of had a tendency to "drive out" the former inhabitents- - who began their migration to Dnelus II, kind of like whites fleeing further out into the suburbs. I hope this clarifies things for you. Some of you might have found from other sources that "Pink Floyd" should have been on that "dark psychedelic" list, and you're absolutely right. As to either Syd Barret or - - Wright, both of whom died recently, nobody has had contact with them. I can take a guess and suppose they went either to the "Colors" planet - or that other planet FH couldn't find on the star chart. This star chart is from Sirius A and shows all the constelations from the point of view of the dog star. BOC has "dog" connections to Sirius O and there is also some sort of Atlanta Romulan connection. OK now read the rest of this.

Some groups with guardians who live right on Bela Tagis IV are the Who, the Yardbirds, the Kinks, and Led Zeppelin. The Druanians are only responsable for two really big groups and they are Jethro Tull and David Bowie. However all the Bowie clone groups are affiliated with the Druanians, too, such as Iggy and the Stooges, Lou Reed, Mott the Whoople, and Mick Ronson. Of course the Druanians are half Sirius A and half that bright star of Virgo. And due to some genetic flook they are a bright "Smirf" blue. A guide talked with me this morning and talked about the Cremorians. Besides Cream and Blind Faith and Mountain and Queen, which I knew about the Cremorians also were affiliated with "tweaking" the sounds of various Andromeda groups to make them more marketable such as the Buffalo Springfield and Big Brother. The Cremorians are also associated with such unlikely groups as the Iron Butterfly, Lee Michaels, and Fever Tree. Some how the point was raised that the Velvet Underground was actually the spawn of another planet. And my guide said "There are other groups there too". I started thinking and somehow asked "What about early Grass Roots" "Yes" and the "Standells" "Yes" and I said "Joan Biaz" he said "As a Group, Yes". I said "Paul Revere and the Raiders" and he said "No" and I said "How about Hanky Panky" he said "Not Tommy James & the Shandells, but some of the influence on the HWY 61 album." I said "OK, what planet are we talking about? What is its name and where is it on a map?" He said "It's Denelus II". I expressed surprise since that is a Romulan planet. I said "You've been helpful". However soon after this F H appeared and said to me, "He's wrong about one thing, you know". "What's that?" That planet. There are is another planet that's in the Federation where they are headquartered along with such groups as the Electric Flag, John Mayoll, Paul Butterfield, and Donavin, as well as Supersession. And also those four Aldeberan IX groups." FH reminded me that "Percentage the Aldeberan IX lost a greater percentage of its population than did the Jews in the Holicaust". I said "I kind of suspected that". He said "You were lucky not to be on the planet when it blew up". Those four groups are Procol Herum, Traffic, the Moody Blues, and the yet to be hatched Black Sabbath. These are known as the four "Birmingham groups" or "dark psychedelics". This took place of course June 1st 1967. FH then said to me "You know who that was don't you?" I said "Just some Federation guy". FH says "That was Mike Bloomfield". "Holy shit!" I said. I was surprised. Mike Bloomfield has "Produced" one Federation compilation album called "Through a Beledonic Haze" where the songs are mostly rostered Z through A. Three CD's. This was in March of 1991 when the Federation was undergoing very unsteady leadership. FH said "after breakfast, come outside, I want to show your something. I went around the side of the building in a grassy area. He said "Don't worry, I'm visable so it doesn't look like you're talking to yourself". He then reached out into some space void and pulled out a couple of sheets of half inch plexi glass in squares, and a square piece of cardboard. "Look at one of these panes" he said. If you looked through one side it was completely frosted but if you looked through the other side the image was perfectly transparent. "That's interesting", I said. He said "Now put your hand in front of the frosted one". "You don't see it" I said. "Put it right up to the pane". "You still don't see it". Then he said, "watch this" and he took the piece of cardboard and laid it up right to the pane. When you looked through you still saw it light and frosty with light coming through. "That IS strange" I said. FH said "Now watch this" He took out the other similar one sided pane. "Put them together" he said. Then he said, "No, with the frosted side on the second side facing out". When I did you could again see a clear image through the pane that had formerly been frosted. FH said they use that substance in cloaking things that can't be cloaked with a primary Romulan cloaking device. He asked me if I knew about primary cloaking and secondary cloaking. I said "That is when an object by necessity is cloaked so that it will be perceived as material in cloaked space inside a ship. But if it leaves the confines of the ship it materializes and stays that way a while till it reverts to a cloaked state. And the length of time is an inverse function of how long the object has been cloaked". FH said "Very good". And added, "Untill the object is properly uncloaked by a device". FH said "We could transport you to Sirius A now but that's a lot of trouble. But we can't cloak you because we don't have the equipment here. So we would have to do astral teleportation and give you an avatar. In the course of time he showed me a star map of the Orion constellation. He pointed out the Cremorian home planet and the Deep Purple home planet, that's also associated with early Steve Miller and Spirit. And he even pointed out the "Yellow Cat" planet, which the middle of the three stars in the belt. But he said he didn't know where the "Donavanian" planet was. The other two planet names were unintelligable because they were untranslated Federation names retained. These "Donavanians" moved to Denelus II. And I said "But I thought Delelus II was a more secretive Romulan planet than Delelus IV, and they aren't exactly sociable". FH said "No, it's just that they don't allow just anybody to visit the planet. But they like to visit earth. Racially they are quite similar to Federation." I said "So it's kind of a racial ghetto situation" and FH said "Yes". But FH said that their homeland is that other planet that he couldn't remember where it even was on a star map.

In a not exactly related item I've been thinking of doing for weeks, The Sirian government officials murder languages. They murder English, they murder Romulan, and they murder Reigellian. In Reigellian they turn hard G's soft, and they turn long E's to long I's. With English they add H's to words that don't have any, they will either turn long A's to long I's, or more often turn long A's to short A's. Also they so things like pronounce long I's for words that end in "ile" like James Car-vile, and also change -ine words to a lone I to rhyme with "line". With Romulan they will turn V's to W's, as if mocking the whole Hamburg, Germany connection. And they will turn other V's to F's in words that clearly aren't pronounced that way. So you see, everybody has their problems.

Is Gov Christy Ready to Become President?

BEWARE - OF - ADLIBS

It was about this time five years ago when political strategist David Axelrod sat down and wrote a memo to then-Sen. Barack Obama, who was seriously considering whether to run for president after months and months of saying he would not.

“History is replete with potential candidates for presidency who waited too long rather than examples of people who ran too soon. . . . You will never be hotter than you are right now. . . . In short, there are many reasons to believe that if you are ever to run for presidency this is the time.” “But there are manifold more reasons to believe that if you ran this prematurely you’d only end up making a total ass of yourself in office”. -ME

New Jersey Gov. Chris Christie spoke at the Ronald Reagan Presidential Library on Tuesday. With no G.O.P. presidential candidate taking a strong frontrunner status, members of the Republican Party are once again urging him to run. Unfortunately Dr. Levy beat him out at the Iron Man trials in Tempe really bad so now he is discouraged.

• The Fix: Christie knows what he's doing
• Christie faces surge of voices urging him to run
• The Fix: Is Christie really a conservative hero?

Those words could easily be included in a memo that one of Chris Christie’s advisers might be sending to the New Jersey governor now, for many of the same elements that led Axelrod to encourage Obama to run in 2008 apply to Christie at this moment. But he suggests he change his last name from “Christie” to avoid the whoos factor.

Christie’s blunt style has captured the imaginations of many Republicans, as Obama’s hope-and-change message stirred Democrats then. He is a fresh face in a party that is in transition and looking for something more than it sees on the horizon. He is being encouraged to run by ordinary citizens, wealthy fundraisers and party leaders who see an opportunity for victory in 2012 and don’t want to let it slip away. After all he’s heard the song on TV as much as anybody lately and he believes you should “Snatch and grab it”.

Axelrod’s memo contained another piece of advice relevant to Christie’s decision-making, which is that the incumbent president defines the coming election and that, if there is unrest in the country, voters will be looking not for a replica but for a replacement. Whatever negative qualities they see in the incumbent, they will be looking for the opposite. Still there are others who believe the best cure for unrest in the country is to pass out free Xeanax to every citizen.

Axelrod was speaking of the qualities of leadership of then-President George W. Bush that had left the country deeply unhappy. He described them as stubbornness, hyperpartisanship and a tendency to place ideology over reason. Axelrod argued that Obama, better than any other potential Democratic candidate in 2008, fit the moment. “You are uniquely suited for these times,” he wrote.

Five years later, after persistent economic problems and a breakdown in government in Washington, the perceptions of Obama have changed, which is why he is vulnerable in next year’s election. To some Republicans, no one offers a more distinctive alternative to Obama’s style of leadership than Christie.

Republican challengers to Obama will make the argument that both different policies and a different kind of leadership are needed to get the country moving, which was part of Christie’s goal when he spoke at the Ronald Reagan Presidential Library on Tuesday night. He outlined that case against the president in ways designed to draw obvious comparisons with his own hard-charging style.

Christie belittled Obama as a “bystander in the Oval Office” and a chief executive who lacks the courage to lead. “We hope,” he added, “that he will shake off the paralysis that has made it impossible for him to take on the really big things that are obvious to all Americans and to a watching and anxious world community.”

He sought to portray Obama as a passive actor and himself as Mr. Take Charge. There is a simple rule for effective governance, he said: “When there is a problem, you fix it. That is the job you have been sent to do, and you cannot wait for someone else to do it for you.”

Now we are in concrete. You know something? They should have some device to make it look like the letters have been chizzeled into the concrete. I know they do have font special effects but they aren’t that good. Well, are you all set for the rapture tonight? Too bad. I borrowed Dr. Thom Horton’s tuxedo just for the occasion. Kids are hard wired for sugar. Logically that sends a message “Don’t fight biology”. Of course the media told us last week that animals and humans yawn to cool the brain. That actually makes sense. Judy was saying that fat is good because fat caused you to feel “Satiety” to use a Homer Simpson vocabulary word. Whereas carbohydrates have stuff in them to make you crave eating more. We all know where Judy stands on the dieting issue. This is Wednesday September 28, 2011 after dinner. We had a chicken drumstick, a half of a baked potato with no butter or sour cream, and good corn, with vanilla pudding for desert. Loretta says “Don’t worry they promised us butter and sour cream”. Yeah, that’s like a congressman’s phone receptionist telling an irate caller “I’ll have the congressman look right into that” and you know nothing will happen.

This afternoon before one Sarah announced the Wall Mart trip. Once again she yanked the sign up list last evening when I check and my name wasn’t on it. But I informed Sarah this morning I wanted to go and she said I’d be first stand-by. It turns out that the second load wasn’t filled to capacity anyhow. I waited out by the benches and Bruce was out there but I didn’t see him board the van but he must have. Glen was around but he didn’t go. I went back up to check on the soap. It was just Bo and Hope going on about long lasting marriages. The only thing long lasting about that show these days is the boredom. I still can’t figure out who that brunette that E J was with at the party. If it’s who I think it is she came back from the grave. Anyhow I came out later and a smaller group of us left including Pete and Fred and Marryanne Woods. She dropped us right at the door. I went for my coffee and was surprised the prices were not perceptably better than at the liquor store. The creamers were downright pricy and I didn’t get any. I was strapped for cash. I bought two 105 oz cans of Master Chef in the blue can. So I’m wondering what was the size of the Folgiers can I bought last week - - was it only a half a pound? “Muy pequenia!” I checked out and discovered that the filters were meant for a larger pot. I tried to exchange them for a smaller size but apparently their philosophy is “one size fits all”, like condoms. Actually I’m less concerned about size than the “BMI” index. As in “How much is bone?” Anyhow I shower her my receipt and asked for my package back. I went outside and sat on the lone granny bench and had a smoke. Bruce and Marryanne and I conversed but Bruce was generally carrying the conversation. I like the fung chue there much better than at Stater Brothers. Sarah said she’d be by at 2:30 in forth minutes, but she didn’t arrive till a few minutes past three. Stragglers from the first load were there and the van was filled to capacity on the way home. As usual we took that usual tract “short-cut”.

Nora had finally gotten to the room. She cleared out two and a half pounds of narcotics stash. Just kidding. She had changed the linens. I’m not going to post today. There is stuff I want to say about Howard. Let me "do" Howard right now in the edit window. Last Saturday I had confirmed for me a version of his death that was the version I did not want to hear. It's the one about it being an "inside job" by his own "Organization" in Chicago gunning him down because he cheated on his fiancee in Madison, whom members of the Organization had an loyalty to. This report referred to Howard as being "in an occupation dealing in merchandise". Well, drugs are no doubt involved. But there seem to be other services provided also such as fixing parking tickets or expunging arrest records with city government connections. They are also connected with a famous family name in Chicago - also a major league field - but we won't drag that in because it's irrelivent. We are talking about Howard's death late in the evening of December 30, 1975. Thus this infadelity story seems to be the majority oppinion after hearing it from enough sources. My own private theory that it was just a simple case of rival gang warfare. To me this has always made more sense and infadelity had nothing to do with it. Pete Richards' first wife believes this theory as do I but it seems that now we're the only ones. On the date of Vernon Presley's death in late June of 1979 for about the next year I sporadicly talked to Pete's first wife by phone just to chit chat. But it made Pete Richards increasingly nervous and he told me to knock it off - so I did. In a related matter, Howard Richards and Roger Shepherd are biological first cousins. This was confirmed to me. I hadn't been sure. Roger's father and Howard's biological mother are brother and sister, last name Shepherd. Howard always regarded as the Shepherd family as having more status than his own biological family, and that last name I don't know. OK now we have that story behind us - - . And from late last week there is still a “bit” with Dennis Wilson and a “bit” with Stewart I still haven’t done. This Michael Jackson trial is the hottest thing since the Phil Specter trial, and before that it was O J.

I’m going to test out the coffee in a few minutes. Last night it was Jeopardy and Wheel of Fortune and then N C I S. I retired before nine. I lot of thoughts were percolating in my mind last night. Governor Christie is into Bruce Springsteen, of course. Of course now we need to get all the other Arkturian rock groups to endorse him including Boston, Aerosmith, The Cars, Foreigner, Journey, UFO, the Babies, and Bob Seeger. These are of course all groups Jess Ryder grew up with listening to on the radio as a “Tween”. Jess Ryder had Arkturian guardians before he died. When he reappeared as Clint on the “left coast” now he had Taccoman guardian angels. I bet that’s one fact you didn’t know. And yes these are the same Taccomans that ousted Mal Evans from his minister of propaganda post at the Federation for quite a few months.

Last night I slept well. In fact I didn’t want to get up at 6:25. I went out to the bakery for a large coffee but then didn’t finish it before breakfast. We had Cheerios for breakfast and scrambled eggs and toast that was actually toasted, and butter and jelly. The coffee for both breakfast and lunch was skimpy. I had Stephanie Miller on. Nora passed out room by in the morning. Thom Hartman had not that much interesting. He just made it sound like he had a good show for us. For lunch we had tomato soup and then crab salad, always a treat. We had an orange for desert. I guess it was Randy Rhodes after that. And now we’re caught up. Now I’ll start the coffee.

This morning I was doing reviewing of the previous posting and noted it came in double so you saw the same thing if you moved down a posting. The new brand of coffee gets a thumbs up. I gave Bill a little but he doesn’t have any money. Loretta doesn’t have any money either but if she can make it up here I’ll let her have a cup.

See How Hypocrites Burry the Truth

You know it isn’t often that such a jarring, relivant story is just Burried by the Media as this one has been. Yesterday on Eye Witness News on ABC here in Los Angeles they interrupted their news report just after six o clock to go live to the speech that President Obama was giving as the House of Blues in West Hollywood. Then this Christian guy interrupts the speech, OK now KTLK just referred to it in their ten o clock news, but this Christian heckeler goes off on a rant and calls President Obama the Antichrist. Maybe he’ll be going up in the rapture tomorrow night at 9:53 PM and we won’t have to worry about him. The answer is with their ultra tight security how did this guy ever get in. La Cieniga is usually packed out as rush hour time, but for those who know Los Angeles geography the President went from stepping off the plane a few minutes before five, to before six he was in the House of Blues attending some gay men’s chorus of dancers or something before he was to speak. What this heckler did took balls, especially if he was able to time it out so he could get immediate LIVE and I mean live coverage on Eye Witness news. You know Neil Savedra is always talking about how it’s OK if the church is filled with hypocrites. May suggest that if Rush Limbaugh or any other right wing Christian attacks this guy for what he did, it is THEY who are being the hypocrites. Because Christianity in the abstract applauds this sort of bold behavior, and refers to it as being the norm, to “take risks” in the presentation of the Gospel. Yet the reason why they attack it is the same “triangulation” motive as Bill Clinton when he came down on Sister Soldier in June of 1972. It boosted him in the polls, and these right wingers, if they attack this guy, are only trying to earn “respectability”. Just as Mark Bove and whoever else would not support my Prophecy book in 1980 because it was kind of “political” in its implicit support of Ronald Reagan for President. Back in those days I really believed all that right wing clap trap and based my actions on the premise that it was all true. The people who spew this right wing clap trap now DON’T believe a lot of what they are saying but it’s only a come on to get followers. So they will go off on homosexuality, when they may have a gay daughter, or they will go off on abortion or go off on the virtues of monogamy when they themselves have been many times divorced, or so off on out of wedlock pregnancies when like Sarah Palin they have skeletons ratteling around their own closet like Al Satorius does. Hypocracy destroys credibility. Any time you preach something you don’t believe you are a liar, a coward, and a hypocrite. And naturally those of us who aren’t hypocrites will never fit in.

Hey kiddies, this is your lucky day. We’re giving you all the answers to the hard Math test coming up in advance. Did I ever tell you about that time at Green Harbor where I guess it was that Larry guy that had this “mind quiz” with all these cryptic initials and you had to figure out what they all were. And this day I knew almost all of the answers and so came off as a freaking genious. But I said “Oh it was easy, you just did this same test a few months ago” and Larry says, “No I didn’t. We’ve never had this test before. But I continued to protest that we did, but none of the others in the room remembers having this test before so I came off as a whole lot smarter than I otherwise would have been. Well below are the Answers to a long and cryptic narrative beamed into my head this morning before breakfast by Mal Evans. Here are the Jeopardy answers and we’ll submit them to Alex Travek or Sylvia Brown later.

First Cousin

Question two remains Unanswered (Mystery last name)

Paul Revere Jr. High School

Daisy (this answer was in our previous posting)

Everett, Washington

Sacramento, California

Christian Scientist

Brother and Sister

Everett (answer to long standing Mal Evans secret)

Mellow Yellow

Everett Dirkson

Elvis Presley

Mrs. Willits’ late husband’s first name is Everett

“Granny’s” second husband starts with the same first initial as her first husband, and the initial isn’t an “M”. This alludes to a Beverly Hillbillies episode where Granny said that her last name was Moses. But Grandma Moses isn’t in their lineage.

One thing I left out from last Saturday was another prominent last name, which seemed to have a lot of interactions with the Milers, which caused me to raise the endogamy issue. This last name Mal Evans told me to deliberately leave out of my own narrative. It’s a notorious last name of a clan, particularly in the South. However in February 1997 it was said – no biological connection. Another tid bit I may have alluded to in July of 2009 is that Dee’s current last name (of her third husband) is Funkhauser. But the Black-ness of her new grandson isn’t due to the Funkhauser influence. Eugene Funkhauser has a foxy blonde daughter from a prior marriage named Cheryl, who is not biologically related to me; therefore I could date her. But anyone who can supply the narrative I’d planned for these questions will shine intelligent for sure.

“Mommy, is it Stephen Kinging?” “No, Johnny, go back to bed; it isn’t morning yet”. “The Void” was never a song title but “Into the Void” certainly is.

This is Monday after dinner on September 26, 2011. President Obama has just landed in LA as of a few minutes ago. He’s going first to Brentwood and then to the House of Blues on the Sunset Strip. The President also visited Los Angeles in April and has been here numerous times. Earlier he was in Silicon valley. 81% of the American population is unhappy with the course of government these days. It would seem that one demagogic politician or another could take advantage of that. Of course the Presidential life seems to be one continuous travelog, like an Elvis movie. What on earth did they do with their time a hundred years ago when they weren’t zig-zagging across the country on high fuel consumption jets? These politicians talk about energy conservation in the most minute detail but violate their own edicts with such impunity. Otherwise nothing is happening in the news. The Conrad Murray saga drags on at a snail’s pace. I have the feeling they’ll have to (or have gotten) a jury that’s so Dumb that they will be snookered by the defense attorneys and legal trickery. After all the whole Dr. Levy thing about “not watching TV makes me smarter” won’t fly. And now we have a new leader in the political field. “Citizen Kane” won the Florida straw poll, leaving both Perry and Romney in the dust. It’s a flavor of the month kind of thing. Now there renewed calls for New Jersey governor Christie to reconsider and get into this race.

I did not watch Friday’s soap opera and did not watch today’s. I think the whole series has self destructed. I could go into tedious details of this. A week ago, for instance we did not know whether Quin Alamaine would blackmail Taylor as he did with Clowie to get into hooking. We did not know if Clowie would survive, or whether she might wind up a brain dead vegetable. We assumed Vivian Alamaine still had her vendetta against Carley she has yet to really carry out successfully. But also there were already characters who were mysteriously “not being seen”, such as Stephano Di Mira, Kate Roberts, and Sammy’s two kids with EJ, Johnny and Sydney. The kids were of such central import and now haven’t been seen all month. Nicole has become a total question mark. All we know is seldom before have there been so many deliriously happy couples deep in love- - who enjoy nothing more than to bore us with their prattle.

Last night I watched the Pittsburgh – Indy Colts game on NBC. But I don’t know who won the game because I turned it at eight to watch the Simpson’s, who have a different introduction now. The thing had all the makings of a Simpson’s movie or something. We can presume Edna and Ned Flanders got together. After this it was the Cleveland Show and I retired shortly after nine. I don’t intend to do a blog posting today since nothing has really happened that’s news worthy. I haven’t checked in on George Washington’s Blog in a while. I’m not sure I’ll blog tomorrow. Apparently a government shut-down has been averted. Judy called after six last night to mention this thing on Einstein proving God on 50.3. Well, I knew all that stuff. Time and space were created. There has been essentially no new information supporting the Big Bang theory than there was a hundred years ago when Einstein aimed a spectroscope at the stars. Of course they said God created both Time and Space. In other words it’s impossible for us to say WHEN the world was created. It’s equally logical to say it was created yesterday or created twelve million years ago, or for that matter that it will not officially BE created for another hundred million years. This means of course that every sin you and I have committed that leads us to Hell- - - MAY have been “created” as a “part of the past” or as a “part of the future”. The bottom line in either case is that it can’t be undone. Knowing this theory as the 50.3 people do, obviously man’s course cannot be altered either for good or for evil. God views the distant past and distant future with equal Clarity.

Tonight we had tacos for dinner. We had two of them and they were greasy, with sour cream and refried beans with bread pudding with fruit on top. I made coffee this evening. I had the end of Dr. Oz on this afternoon. Nora was in here a bit earlier to clean the bathroom and mop the floor. I went down for afternoon coffee in the courtyard but just had one cup. I listened to Randy Rhodes from two to three and kind of fell asleep after 2:30. I don’t remember what we had for a snack last night, if we had one.

Is John Miller an Ansester of Yours?

"Oppertunity - - oppertunity - - is knocking at your door.

Oppertunity knocks but once, and don't come back no more.

But if you're Howard Richards

"Like a rabbit gona grab it, just like Charlie Babbit"

"Why Don't We Do It in the Rhode?"

"A, B, C, D, Can I bring my friend to Tea"?

“You better leave, my Boneskat all alone!” - Is that ME singing?

In a phone conversation with Ron Rhodes in late July 1998, which may be the last time I"ve talked to him, he said that he had this "friend" who was a female, who he was going off camping with next weekend. Christians love to use euphamisms. And one wonders whether in the night they might put their sleeping bags together and to a little kanoodeling.

Robert Whiticker died this past week. He was the photographer who shot the famous butcher block meat scene with the Beatles as the original planned album cover for Yesterday and Today. I was under the impression that Klaus Voorman had been the one who designed the Revolver album front. They are playing this early Fleetwood Mac song that was in inspired by “Sun King” and it’s a Fleetwood Song I never heard before - - Albitros, and Sun King is the right answer. Before this they played “Stepping Out” that refers to John Lennon putting on his “space suit”. Early Fleetwood Mac was different. KLOS played a number of “blue” songs, a number of which I missed such as “Polytheme Pam”, “Girl” and “She Came in through the Bathroom Window”. I heard “Famous Groupies” and “Maggie Mae” and “High High High” and “Why Don’t We do it in the Road”. This last song is so perfectly executed, every note, that listening to Anthology is a real come-down for me. Don’t mess with a master-piece. Anyhow we all know that Dick Llyle wrote “Deliver Your Children” and pulled a gun on Paul Mc Cartney and said “Dire things will happens if this song does not appear on your next album”. This is an overcast Sunday September 25, 2011, and it’s three & a half days to the rapture, which might just even be better than “Twelve segments to Beer”.

Before that it was Meet the Press. Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netenyahoo was on and he played “Cheech” to the interviewer’s “Chong” in the Los Cochinos skit. Netenyahoo tried to be the diplomat side-stepping all of the host baiting being thrown his say saying “Well you know what Clinton said” and the Prime Minister kept saying “We know that the Palestinians have lived there a long time and we want to give them a State of their own but they don’t want it and in 2000 and 2008 they had a good chance and came close but they scuttled it”. The PLO may have renounced Hammas but they still nurse hopes of driving Israel into the sea after they do become a state, so what’s the point? Then they had Michael Bloomburg on, who also tried to be diplomatic in discussing Obama’s hopes but also Rick Perry and Mitt Romney have been picked on too much. Maybe

The big news of the day of course was the visit to Mom for dinner last night. As you may or may not know Dee stopped by last week to drop off a bunch of stuff including [material deleted at this point] At any rate there is a conflict as to whether [name] was there with her when Dee was over because Judy said that [name] was already in Hawaiiai but [name] says that Mom got confused and didn’t remember that [name] was there, but in Dee’s letter no reference was made to [name]’s actually being present, as Judy pointed out. However as to the content of the rest of the material it had a lot of framed pictures of old relatives including several of Nana as a young woman. There were also hand made geniological charts and one chart was copied by Uncle Bob. But it wasn’t done in the usual “generation” style fork format. Instead there was a list of names and diagonal lines showing the offspring. Naturally I looked for us three kids and we were there. Pete Richards' first wife, [deleted], was plainly listed but for his second wife it just says Judy question mark. Bob didn’t know her last name. Pete will probably cross out [wife]’s name and include Judy’s last name. What dawned on me from this chart was the high importance of the Miller clan. Other names prominently featured were “Dutton”, which kept showing up, and some R name like Ramsey. It seems that Charles Miller was a famous Mormon. His wife, Anne Miller, came from England and she led a hard life there- - and her own mother went through a lot of hard ship. Charles and Anne lived in Missouri in the 1840’s apparently, and were both Mormons but Charles wanted to move to Utah with a Mormon caravan. His wife Anne and their son and two girls started out but didn’t get too far when Anne wasn’t up to the rigors of covered wagon travel. Uncle Bob tells a rather different story from the Mormon geniological version. In his version son John Dutton Miller stowed away on the covered wagon and when they realized he was on board they were in another state and it was too late to turn back. Nora was just in here barking orders at me. Anyhow according to Uncle Bob’s version John renounced Mormonism and none of his descendents were Mormon except for one descendent who later married one. (?) But the official Mormon version has it that Charles couldn’t bear to leave his son John behind so took him with him. Meanwhile Anne was left back in Missouri and didn’t fare well and died of some disease. And her two daughters were orphaned at ages 13 and 8 or something. Hannah became an “entertainer” and earned her living that way. (That wasn’t a euphemism for “stripper” is it?) And then some evil cousin came on the scene and stole all mother Anne’s fancy dresses and cut them up and sold them for cloth. Meanwhile daughter Hannah eventually came west with her husband and rejoined brother John and Utah and recognized him as her sibling right off after not seeing him for fourteen years. There was included a big picture of a bearded Charles Miller, and the name sounds vaguely familiar from some place. Charles Miller married another wife in Utah, which was no big thing for Mormon’s of course. But we are descended from Charles and Anne Miller through their son, John Dutton Miller. And there were photos of John as a small boy. But how did the last name get changed anyhow? How come Charles Dutton isn’t also a Miller? To complicate things further of course as you know we have a half first cousin, Anne Miller, who was the mother of those three little girls, and the last time we saw them was in Chatsworth on December 31^st 1966, which was my birthday, of course. I remember that day because one of the kids had a walkie-talkie set up and me and Pete were roaming the streets of that Chatsworth tract talking to each other. I thought that Nana said that these girls were 12, 9, and 6 from a card she got. But that was a card from a later Christmas and the girls weren’t that old when we saw them. Of course Bonnie Jean is the youngest daughter and she would be my half 2^nd cousin. We learned of her birth at that Labor Day 1963 barbecue in Uncle Bob’s back yard of his house in Riverside- - where he seemed to not spend much time, as I recall. And of course they [Bonnie Jean and husband] would occasionally visit Mom and Dad at their Laguna Hills house, but the last time I saw Anne Miller was that December 1966 Chatsworth visit. I’m a little confused because is there like any endogamy going on- - like someone’s family tree didn’t fork, or is it a complete coincidence. Uncle Bob did nothing to clear up the confusion. Of course Bonnie Jean has a husband and teenage kids of her own and her last name is Beuwer or something like that now. This is taking a whole lot more space than I thought. Anyhow Charles Dutton was born in 1876, which makes him ancient to have a grandfather that old. There was preserved his first job application he wrote at age 13, which is kind of a “pristine bullet” type document so well preserved it’s suspicious. I mean, I’ve seen my old report cards from grade school in my baby book and this thing was in emaculate condition. [name] remarked on how neat the penmanship was “for a boy”. I wouldn’t give it any calligraphy awards. Of course in those days thirteen meant the end of grammar school. But it was a white collar job he applied for and got. So Charles was a regular “Dario Hernandez”. Anyhow he married Elizabeth Massy or Massek or something in 1898. Here is where the Math gets a little tricky. First of all it’s good to know her first and last name after all these years other than just as Charles Dutton’s first wife. We kind of skip to around World War I. Charles and Nana were either dating or just gotten married and Charlie got drafted for WW I or something and was shipped to a HQ in the South, like Mobile or some place, and Nana came and visited him there. But Charles didn’t like the way the commissioned officers treated the lower ranks. Charles also wrote in a letter that “government censorship of information is not necessary. The people themselves should be allowed to decide for themselves”. Of course the key date in this soon to be sad saga is November 24^th 1924. Dad would not yet have been one year old. Cue up the Temptations song, “It was the 24^th of November – a date I’ll always remember”. This date has the two 24's in it and it's also the "historic" date that Jesus was actually crucified, according to one source [extensive material deleted here] I did forget to mention that there were pictures of Nana and Ruth and Irene, and some of Charlie Jr. - - and of course I’ve met Ruth and Irene but I never met Charlie his entire life and I remember Dad announcing he had died. There was a photograph of Charles Jr. at age 15 or so, and [name] thought it was the Senior but I knew it was a different person, and it was. He had blondish hair. Anyhow Daisy was not in any of the photos, at least that were there. She was the youngest of the four Charles Dutton siblings. [name] remarked that Nana looked the same age as Ruth and Irene. Actually she should be older. Nana once said that Daisy, the youngest daughter, was eight or nine years younger than she was. I’ve got a bit of a problem with the Math here because Nana was a small child in 1898 when Charles married Elizabeth. So the other siblings would be older than Daisy so there is somewhat of a problem of having all four siblings born after 1898. Just to refresh [name]l’s memory, I saw Irene and Dairy regularly as a small child and up through the summer of 1957 they were a regular holiday feature when they could make it. But both women lost their husbands in 1958. [back to narritive] Of course then in the year 1938 when Dad and Uncle Bob were teenagers, there was some kind of a bequest of money to all six Charles Dutton children of two thousand dollars to each child. I’m not entirely sure of the precipitating event of this bequest of money. Anyhow Uncle Bob bought a new car with his money AND had his teeth straightened, and also did other things with his money. Two thousand dollars went a long way in 1938. There were other relatives discussed I haven’t mentioned here. Of course Emily Babb was Nana’s mother and she was born in 1856. I knew that from an old family Bible.

Let’s talk about the rest of the visit, for heaven’s sake. As you know [name] said he would call - - and 3:25 rolled around and I figured I should change into those kaki slacks to be more presentable. Paul eventually called. He and Judy eventually showed up about a quarter to four. Judy talked extensively about her work and problems she is having with the government and a troublesome neighbor, who quite possibly is mentally ill, who says Disneyland is sending out people to spy on him from the trees. But he apparently ratted to the government about certain stuff. Judy talked about how screwed up the Post Office is as to delivering packages. We talked about politics and I decided not to be combative under the circumstances. I was surprised how quickly we got to the freeway off-ramp to Mom’s. Mom met us in the lobby and we signed in. People were already congregating in the dining room at 4:30 though it was way early. We went to her room and settled in for a period. She said she’s glad she isn’t on the first floor because there would be more foot traffic past her window. Judy had printed up that story about my coffee business and possible government hassles I would face, were they so inclined. OK I’ll vote for Ron Paul next year. We got a corner table in the dining room by the front window seated at a square rather than round table, the four of us. We got a menu and I had the barbecue chicken sandwich and a baked potato and had split peak soup, which was really good. And yes, I do like to pepper my soups up as a rule. Though at my apartment the number one embellish to my soups by volume was oregano. I had cherry pie for desert. None of us went to the salad bar, which is a definite break with precedent here. I wasn’t sure it was included any more. I was a little hungry but Mom gave me her extensive spinach. And I also had about half of her “spelini” ice cream. I guess this is a popular Italian combination of chocolate, pistachio and raspberry or something. I only got the one cup of coffee with no refills. There was also about a half an orange included.

Back to her room we took the elevator this time and there was a lot of delay and I almost used the stairs again. Mom still likes to use the stairs and Judy called them “Mom’s stairs” because nobody else goes that way. Don’t tell any of the drug dealers in town. But Mom is increasingly unsteady and it probably would be wise to have someone with her. Although Mom seemed to have some kind of an arthritic hip problem by the way she was walking. I went and selected a picture calendar for next year, although I anticipate returning there before the year is out. She showed us a picture of herself at age at fifteen I was quite familiar with. We were kind of wrapping up the whole family history bit a little after eight but then the next hour or so was spent in the pills crisis. We turned on Mom’s computer and Mom is getting better at it though she’s never going to feel comfortable on computer. There were all these blood pressure medications. She’s stuck with Atenelol all these years. I took that for maybe six weeks in the latter summer of 1999 and it wierded out my personality and made me depressed and moody. Of course I hear the same people who market Atenelol also make Noodle Roni, so that explains a lot. (Hey folks, that’s a joke) There was talk about carbohydrates during dinner and Judy said they are much more of a dietary problem than fats are and maybe Mom ought to lay off the cold cereal and have bacon and eggs instead. Interesting. Anyhow Mom was confused about taking 25 or 50 mg of the drug Kozar, which Judy said damages the heart muscle. And the doctor got confused and put her on a third drug. My Mom’s blood pressure readings are not as bad as when I was on alcohol, but not good. They would range from the 140’s to the low 160’s with the average in the low 150's with the low reading at 85. I wanted to leave because I didn’t tell Donnie I’d be out and I was getting tired anyhow. [name] suggested it was I was having a nicotine fit. Well, that was part of it. But we never resolved whether Mom was taking 25 mg or perhaps 75 mg of Kozar if she was taking both colored pills. The clock said eight after nine at the reception desk where we signed out. My watch said ten after. Judy spoke of the dangers of “poly pharmacy” on the way home. Oh - - Nana used to refer to her husband as “Henry”. That’s different. I told Judy I had never seen Mom that mentally fuzzy and she admitted to having periods of mental confusion or “senior moments”. She had some bananas she wanted to get rid of. We got off at Katella and took the Disneyland rout home, as is our custom. When we got here it was coming up on ten to ten. It was an informative evening.

I’m typing this after lunch now and let’s wrap this up soon. Then I can figure out what to edit out when I post this. Ah yes- - I’m going to let Dick Chaney proofread this first. Anyhow all five cigarettes were still in the pants pocket. I had two more last evening. I was talking to Marsha about these social networks people are expected to be on now on computer. I told her there was facebook, and twitter, and now Google plus, which I could get on for free since I have a Google account, I imagine. I told her I really had no interest in social networking and people hacking my account and stealing my pass word, though that could happen now. I told her that people post all kinds of things about themselves like old high school photos and their whole life history but I really wasn’t into doing that. Bill was still up and watching TV at ten to ten which surprised me. He said “Donnie has already been around with medication”. I don’t think Bill had any idea of how late it actually was. I met Donnie down stairs and he was a good sport as always. I told him I had absolutely no idea that I would be in anywhere near this late.

There is a whole bunch more stuff I was going to throw in but we don’t need to flesh anything out. There is ample material besides the embellishments would only prove unnecessary and worse, confusing. It’s still overcast. The past days have been the coolest, most overcast days here in a long time. Mom mentioned my getting an eye examination and I mentioned a lot of people lately had made reference to getting eye exams making me wonder whether they might have reinstated the program. We are on page - - well just turned seven - - and I’m going to include other stuff from yesterday and this morning in this file. I weighed myself on her scale and came off seven pounds light. Her scale runs light anyhow. But I’ve had these bouts of flu or whatever and I think more coffee increases my matabelism. I asked Loretta if she’d heard of John Miller in the Mormon church and she hadn’t. I just thought he was someone famous.

Nine Presidential Asperents Meet in Orlando

And now we talk about last night’s Republican Debate in Orange, County, Florida, on FOX news sponsored by Google. They introduced all nine candidates at the beginning. Gary Johnson was the newby and he had the least to say and is the only candidate who did not “hold his own”. Kane again spoke of his 9 9 9 plan. As you know if his tax measures are put into place it will be the end of the line for this economy. The last thing poor people need is to pay an additional 9% sales tax on everything they buy. Although that wouldn’t be as bad as 23%. That idea really gets the tea bagger’s motor running. Santaurum made a number of abrasive statements. He said that having gays in the military was a government imposed “social experiment” and that gay’s shouldn’t have special rights to have sex that hetrosexuals don’t. The last time I checked ANY improper sexual conduct by either gay or straight would bring about disciplinary action. Santaurum also wants to escalate the war in Afghanistan, to “turn the generals loose and let them fight the war properly without all the administration restraints”. I believe it was also he who said that withdrawal in Iraq was wrong and we should stay there a few more years in case a crisis develops. But what would Santaurum have the President do that isn’t already being done. We’re working on the best intelligence and battle tacticts, and we’ve been bombing those people back to the stone age with our unmanned drones. And of course the gay veteran who asked the question about how he was treated by the military was Boo’d. I just don’t think it’s patriotic to boo any veteran who has served his country proudly. As I said higher up, my impression was that Mitt Romney won this debate, and I was glad to see my opinion echoed by radio commentators today. Romney handled every question quite adeptly. He put Perry in his place. And Perry wasn’t very smart because every time you mention another candidate’s name, they are given a chance to respond by the host. Rick Perry stumbled badly on several issues. He was confusing on his stance on state medicare. Personally I don’t think medicare in any form is what the American people want now. Maybe in a couple decades but not today. But Perry is going to lose the nomination over this whole illegal immigrant thing and those students getting reduced college admission fees over residents of this country. Tea baggers don’t like that. Also there is the whole papaloma virus vaccine thing still hanging over his head. Michelle Bachman retrenched her words last night saying she never personally said that the drug led to mental retardation. Judy still believes it. When asked how much of our pay check we should be allowed to keep, Michelle Bachman said “All of It”. I guess that scores a Ten on the tally of right answers. Many of the candidates such as Romney criticized sharply Obama’s refusal to be clearer in his stance on whether to admit the Palistinians as a UN state. I think this is a strategic error on the president’s part. Education was criticized extensively- - and many want the department of education eliminated. I found myself much in sympathy with many things that were said on this issue. When Kane was asked which government department he would eliminate were he President he said “The E P A”. Kane wants to do away with all environmental regulation, and mocked the regulation of “dust”. Well it was asbestos “dust” that killed Thom Hartman’s father. There are a lot of sick people now who wish the EPA had been stricter. Kane also said he would not be alive today if he were left to the machinations of “Obama Care”. Yes anyone who survives cancer deserves commendation for perseverance. But I fear it’s far more a function of Income level rather than government regulations. Of course there were the usual charges that Obama is a socialist. Would a socialist mandate insurance from a private capitalist company that’s only out to make money? Some say that the Obama jobs plan is bad and won’t work because “It’s only jobs created with other people’s money”. Of course to my way of thinking it’s sheer insanity- - - if it’s true that we spend a dollar forty for every dollar we take in, then it would absolutely insane to cut taxes like they all want to do to “turn the businessman loose and get the economy going”. We’ve done it their way for the past ten years and it hasn’t worked. Some say the Obama stimulus didn’t work. But it did. And I would like to close on this thought. Just think what would happen if a Rick Perry were elected President. Social Security would be done away with. By the way this is another thing Romney nailed him on in the debate. Perry had said “The creation of social security to begin with was a terrible mistake”. Well if Perry gets elected President this economy is going to crash and crash big, making what we’ve seen already as just a walk in the park. And when that economy crashes this time the banks are falling with it and the rich, too will suffer. And they won’t like that. And they will resent the tea party, and suddenly “socialists” like John Boehner and Barock Obama won’t seem all that bad afterall.

Remember when Judy said that the media would somehow rig it so that President Obama would be elected next year no matter who his opponent was? Well, Congressman Joe Walsh has said pretty much the same thing. He said that the media would “Protect Obama from all critical scrutiny because he is the first Black president”. I can’t disagree with this statement more strongly. The media has come down hard on this President like a ton of bricks. The media regards people like Rick Perry and Michelle Bachman as his equals. There is no attempt made whatsoever to wade through the lies in the bucket of bullshit that’s been dumped on this President, way worse than they ever did with Bill Clinton. Of course Bill Clinton had a successful presidency. It’s really hard to argue anything like that for our current President. Now they are saying that if you’re a fellow democrat and criticize this President, you must be some kind of a closet racist also. This statement is equally absurd considering that the chief critics of Obama policies are in the Black congressional caucus. Jeroldine Ferarro said that is Barock Obama weren’t Black he never would be running for President. Let me make this abundantly clearly right now. Obama’s failings, real or perceived, have absolutely nothing to do with his being Black. But the term “Liberal media” is still accepted as fact among the far right, even though it hasn’t been true in some thirty years. It’s just another obstacle this President is going to have to overcome. It’s the new, updated 21^st Century racism.

This next story involved the Police. I’ve been hearing how cops don’t like citizen by-standers video taping arrests that are made. Well here is a case where you’re in public and there is no presumption of privacy. Also the police are performing a public, official act and therefore should be “on the record” in everything they do. After the machination of those Georgia cops in the last posting I see why the police would want to keep certain things secret. But now they want to pass a law making it a crime to blink your headlights to warn oncoming drivers of a police speed trap. The cops say doing this will “endanger the public safety”. I hardly see how. If you are tipping off drivers than they will be driving more carefully and the roads will be safer, right? Isn’t that what everybody wants? But of course the police cite it as a raising revenue problem and therefore preventing the bagging of drivers interfears with there “revenue gathering” operations. Of course truckers have been alerting drivers on their citizen’s band radios for a long time warning of “smokey bear” around the corner. Also months ago on one scarey thing they said that it’s actually counted as a crime to put coins in other peoples’ expired parking meters. This is absurd on its face. Surely if you went into the store and found the driver and told him his meter had run out and he went out and put more coins in, this would not be a crime. How is being a Good Sameritan doing the same act a crime? But now there is a yet more cinister motive other than revenue raising we need to be concerned about. As you know search and ceisure laws being what they are the cops are looking for any form of “probable cause” in order to pull a vehicle over and case the car for narcotics or whatever, which they would have no justification for doing otherwise. And you Arizona people needn’t be reminded about the illegal immigrant problem. It would seem these days Law Enforcement wants to be “In Your Face” any way they can.

First of all I want to announce that we have enough material for another posting and that will be later today. I want to talk about rock guitar players. And I’m going to keep the E T I stuff to an absolute minimum. It was Ron Rhodes who told me back in the ‘eighties that the best guitar players weren’t the fastest because it didn’t take any talent to play fast. I still tend to disagree with that. I brought up Ted Nugent for example. He’s fast but he also radiates a tremendous amount of energy and feeling. In fact along with Jimmy Pate he’s one of the top two rock guitarists of all time. I haven’t quite decided on who the other three are. There are a couple of cases where I would agree with Ron. For instance the Deep Purple guitar player is the weakest link in the band. Everyone else in the band is better than he. Also I am not a tremendous Randy Rhodes fan. I actually prefer Tony Ioni’s playing in Black Sabbath a lot better. He’s a very effective guitar player and knows how to ‘say a lot with a lot fewer notes”. He’s also a guy who performs below his ability, and you see glimpses of his true ability now and then. Which brings us to Jethro Tull’s first guitar player - - Abrams. If you’ve heard the guitar and drum work out on “Cat’s Squerel” on their first album- - you note that Black Sabbath pretty much kited that whole routing in “Warning” on their first album. But Tony Ioni used to be in Jethro Tull for a brief time so perhaps Tony was just “stealing it back”. Abrams – J T’s first guitar player I like immensely more than Martin Barr. I think that’s the guy’s name who was their guitar player from “Benefit” onward. Barr’s playing is just lifeless in comparison and just doesn’t have that “anointing”. Abrams had a natural instinct as to just which notes to play to make a song sound good. You can’t buy that kind of instinct. You have to be born with it. Other guitar players of note that attract my attention are Angus Young of AC DC and also that Jordan Kakonan (?) guy from Jefferson Airplane, who undoubtedly has a unique style. Robbie Krieger of the Doors is quite good but I don’t know if I’d put him in the elite. Jimi Hendrix showed brilliance obviously even back with the two Phoenix 10 record albums with Lonnie Youngblood. Both of those albums are well worth your while to buy. One of the other three might be whoever played the lead guitar part on “Free Bird”. That workout has to be physically exhausting. We go back to Ted Nugent and it’s partly his cosmic credentials that got noted by Burt Lombard and Mal Evans. You have to separate Ted Nugent the guitarist from Ted Nugent the right wing nut. Eddy Van Halen is good, of course. The worst thing he ever did was the part on “Beat It” which is terribly unmelodic. Robin Trower deserves a tip of the hat. (Richi Velenz is a big fan of his) And now we come to Brian Jones. You know how in dating relationships where you’re being dumped and one party says to the other “If isn’t you; it’s me” when what they really mean is “It isn’t me; it’s you”? Well, in Brian Jones’ case it truly is a case of “If wasn’t you; it’s me”. I just projected a lot of stuff on to him that wasn’t there. While I admire his blues playing on the first four Stones albums, and from December’s Children on he was cut back and on Aftermath he was cut back to almost nothing. I think he played more on "Between the Buttons". Obviously Jones was an intelligent "renascence man". But I began reading books on Brian Jones’ relation with the Stones about the time Watergate was breaking and there was all this stuff about purges going on in the Nixon administration to kick all the liberals or anyone with a brain out of the administration. Mr. Buchannon told our class "After the election you'rs going to see a whole lot more of the "old Nixon" alluding to the Joe Mc Carthy days. And I saw Brian Jones as another victim, whose creativity couldn’t be tolerated by the other members of the band. I now see that this was an almost completely false impression. Brian represented everything I wasn’t He was blond haired, blue eyes, talented, charismatic. And I also inferred that since Brian stopped playing almost entirely after “Satanic Majesty’s Request” that somehow there was some psychedelic purge going on in the group and Brian’s services were no longer needed. Again this was a false impression. I guess I was looking for something utterly “brilliant” about the guy that in the end, just wasn’t there. I still have a natural curiosity as to where he ended up in the afterlife. Perhaps his most stellar role of all time was his guitar playing in “Paint It Black”. And of course in the early days he was a mover in the group but something happened along the way that had to be some lack in his character and personality.

World Outraged At Death Of Innocent Man

An innocent man, Troy Davis, was executed in Georgia last night. President Obama refused to speak out on this case before it happened, and he still hasn’t spoken out after the deed has been done. This is just another in the long train of craven cowardess that the President has shown over the years. It’s the oldest excuse in the book. That he is afraid of how the tea party might respond, as if any sane American cared what the tea party thinks about anything. Troy Davis is accused of killing two off duty Georgia cops involving some other person in a dispute over a bottle of beer. There is no DNA evidence linking him to the crime. The gun has never been produced. The case hung on the testimony of nine eye witnesses, many who were threatened by the cops that they, too would be thrown in jail is they did not cooperate. Seven of the Nine have recanted their testimony. Some of these confess to being illiterate and could not even read or understand the police statement they were signing. Troy Davis maintained his innocence right to the end. He was executed using lethal injection where they first give you some kind of narcotic, and then a drug to paralyze the muscles and a final drug to induce a heart attack. The procedure takes about fifteen or twenty minutes. Troy Davis was refused any chance to ever take a polygraph test. One of the two witnesses who have stuck with their story was a guy named Coles, who is a suspect in the case himself. The cop was shot with a .38 calabre and Coles used to own such a gun. The world is outraged at this execution and there are renewed calls for a world wide ban on capital punishment. Pope Benedict has spoken out on this case and so has former President Jimmy Carter. It will be interesting to see how the Republicans in the Florida debate tonight on FOX respond to this question, should it be posed. I think the usual refrain that “Well, we all know those kinds of people are guilty of something, anyhow”. There is strong evidence, of course, that Governor and presidential candidate Rick Perry executed an innocent man. His answer when posed the question was stealthful. He said “It went through all the proper channels”. Of course Perry fired key members of the board the day before they were to conclude that that man should not be executed. It would seem that we all should take pause and perhaps have a nation-wide moritorium on carrying out of the death penalty so we can investigate cases where there is doubt, particularly DNA doubt, where a lot of victims of justice have been cleared. Reuben Carter managed to get out of prison on a bad rap, but that's only because he lived long enough to successfully make an appeal. People like Rick Perry seek to prevent that with their nice little death mill going there in Texas. Apparently under Georgia law, if there is not "proof beyond a shadow of a doubt that the man in question is innocent" the process won't allow for a retrial, even in cases like this where the material evidence has changed.

This is Thursday September 22, 2011 and the republican debate is tonight with a new guy, Gary Johnson, who presumably has no connection with Dee. I don't know whether they are going to get rid of any of the other eight, like Santaurum or the pizza guy to make room for him. My guess is that Romney and Perry will resent the new guy crashing their little party. He is a maverick who believes that alcohol is more dangerous than marijuana and he has smoked marijuana. He believes government has a function. Oh, they’ll just eat him alive at the debate tonight. I remember when Bob Dole said “Government had a proper function of meeting the needs of the poor”. Judy never forgave him for saying that. How odd it was to hear Bob Dole regarded as “another liberal”. (1996) Right now Perry still leads in the polls. The more people hear this sort of republican discourse on the screen, they more they will accept what they say as being in the main stream. Once one candidate or the other actually "catches fire" and becomes the undisputed favorite, he will soar in his own polling position against the President in a head to head contest. Now these Republicans have a new guimick to insure a victory next year. In Pennsylvania they are apportioning the electoral vote according to congressional districts rather than the time honored "winner take all". What this means is that the Republicans could be leading in twelve districts and trailing in six, and so would win on the number of electoral votes even though a democrat may have won the popular vote of the entire state.

You know the tea party right who are practically dictating everything that happens in government now are looking for anything to pin on President Obama. They are going to blame the gay military on Obama. Indeed this is about the only crowning achievement he’s had in office. One charge I've been hearing is that small businessmen can't catch a break and now they want to put a moritorium on 845 new regulations for small businesses. Nobody wants to penalize hard work, and there are a lot of hoops for people just getting started to jump through, some of which seem nonsensical to the casual observer. Perhaps if the president were more specific on how he wants to help these people he would get their votes. Right now people with money are portrayed as victims of government beaurocracy by the media. Whereas the unemployed are portrayed by people like Newt Gingrich as lazy parasites who are sucking off the substance of government, and their laziness is part of the problem. Of course these right wingers claim to have “secret information” about “what’s really in all these bills they’ve been ramming through congress” involving hidden taxes and new regulations. They have this sources like WND that reveal things nobody else knows about because the media is conspiring not to tell us. Obama’s goal is to “punish the achievements of the Job Creators”. He’ll get blamed for today’s stock market drop. Just as a reality check we are still above ten thousand. The market isn’t “crashing”. And by the way, I am sticking by my "buy" signal. I'd tell you if it were otherwise. Some will even blame labor unions for the inability of the American worker to compete with his foreign counter parts. Of course a statement was made to me yesterday that pretty much nailed it down that I am not somewhat justified for my failure to participate in any Christian church; I am completely justified. These people think they are leading you into a verbal trap but in reality they are only tricking and “branding” themselves. The whole country has gone insane. Now people are actually advising mortgage holders to just “walk away” from their properties, and them explain, “besides, it’s only what the lender banks themselves are doing”. These fat cat bankers who produce nothing but only live off of other people's money ought to be just a little humble and grateful that Presidents Bush and Obama bailed them out or they wouldn't even be around to complain now. It's funny how the Joe Q Citizen tea party member imputes only the most positive of virtues to Wall Street. And if Wall Street only goes up 35% in two & a half years they are somehow "being robbed" because they are entitled to more. And now they "want a President they can count on". Now they are saying that Warren Buffet has a financial interest in keeping taxes high. Rush Limbaugh yesterday referred to himself as a “lone wolf” in advocating for the rich. The tea party is basically a cult and like any other cult, the adherents to it get snookered and they think that vicariously watching the rich and privileged enjoy themselves, somehow it makes their lives better. They are told what to believe about everything and are spoon fed every cliché phrase they learn, and somehow this makes these people feel “all right” about themselves. “After all we all have to unite against them, whoever “them” is”.

They are doing a massive spring cleaning in the fall on “Days of our Lives”. They are getting rid of Dario, and Melanie, and Nicholas, and Vivian, and just possibly Carley. And Taylor and Quinn are also making an exit. The past 24 hours they have been madly in love dispite being almost total strangers a week ago. And Quinn has promised to quit pimping. Meanwhile there are indications they are going to bring back John and Marlena, both who have to be in their sixties now and no longer that young couple who fell in love as a by-product of Stephano’s emotional manipulation. It would be an interesting conversation between Marlena and daughter Samantha. “So let me get this straight. You and EJ had impulsive sympathy sex and you got pregnant and then EJ married Nicole, and then you were involved in a situation where your life was threatened and you went into a witness protection program and met Raphael, whom you later married. And then you had your baby but Nicole switched babies and the baby you thought was yours died, and you mourned for her. And then EJ arranged the kidnapping of your real baby by Anna Di Mira. And after that you shot EJ at point blank range and he survived and said he would not turn you in if you followed certain blackmail demands. And Gabriel, a witness who would be able to finger you for the crime, ends up dead. Then your little boy loses one eye to cancer and almost loses another. Somewhere along the way you actually managed to marry Raphael Hernandez. But then he gets involved in a car crash and is hospitalized in critical condition while chasing you for some reason. And then your husband was substituted with another man who drove your kids away and Alley was sent to Hong Kong and hasn’t returned. But other than all that nothing much has happened in your life since I’ve been gone”. That strains the limits of credulity.

Kelly Thomas' Killer Charged with Murder

Kelly Thomas, that mental patient who got wasted by a Fullerton cop, may be having his day of justice in court after all. This 37 year old homeless man suffering from mental illness has been mourned by his friends, and his father has been seeking justice. Today he found it. They have charged this hot headed Fullerton officer with murder. At least they should do agrivated assault because he said to him “You see these two fists here, they’re about to fuck you up really good”. This cop has had numerous incidents of improper police conduct with other people and the DA has about figured “this is really a really bad apple we’ve got to get off the force”. Good for them. I asked the Federation about this case just after it happened and all they said was “Since we know nothing of the details of this incident all we can base our judgement on is that the Fullerton area is not known for bad spiritual vibes, and therefore it is unlikely that anything improper occurred on this day”. Of course the Federation could have found out a lot if they wanted to.

Well now you’ve heard it. Closing down marijuana clinics- - over four hundred medical dispensaries in the Los Angeles area were closed down a year ago July. And they ran a study and they found that the crime area in the preceding period was definitely lower than the time period covered in the same localized area after those four hundred outlets had been closed. This ought to go a long way tword demonstrating that marijuana is a peaceful drug and people of peace use it.

I happened to tell Judy in the car while she was giving herself some honey because her blood sugar was low that I’m going to start selling coffee now and stop giving it away. I thought of not buying coffee this week because my money is low but even if I have to pay more for it buying it at the liquor store, that it’s better than over a dollar a cup. And I can use the coffee to make money for me by selling it. And Judy says “Well you know you’ll have to collect sales tax” and went into a whole long thing about how Obama’s jobs plan is wrecking America. She said there are hidden taxes in many just passed Obama bills such as a national four percent tax on real estate, which would be economic suicide. Also she said in California that Jerry Brown just signed a bill mandating free abortions for twelve year olds, and of course that’s with out parent’s knowledge or concent. She also said that Michelle Bachman was right in saying that the Papaloma vaccine does in fact cause mental retardation. I tried to make all my contrary points as tactfully as possible.

They are now saying that there is a one in 3,200 of getting hit from the falling debris from the sattalite that’s going to come down somewhere on earth in the next two days. This is a greater chance than of being attacked by a shark, and we know how many sharks are in Southern California waters these days. But I got to thinking “That’s one in 3200 in a world of HOW MANY Billions who live on planet earth. I mean, what if the satellite lands in the middle of some Hindu holy conclave or something. Will the pieces be big enough to say, knock a hole in the roof and waste a whole building? Well, we’ll all find out together.

Well, as a Reigellian would say, “It’s groovy being green” and since we’ll be in a black blog this next outing, if my accounting is correct, why not? Let’s do a really old story that’s been sitting on the shelf a long time, since this blog is likely to be short anyhow. As you may know 1999 was tagged as “The year of the three mystery females”. One of them was in July when I was at Stater Brothers, and it’s the same store we go to from here. Anyhow there was a little girl in line perhaps about nine or so and she had these thin glasses. She had blonde hair, and she was wearing this bright green line T shirt. She had some “aura” about her I couldn’t explain but I felt I had known her from somewhere, perhaps in a previous life. Anyhow a day or so later, or maybe even the same day, there were reports that came to me that John Lennon was “missing”. That he hadn’t been seen several places where he’d been scheduled to show up and I got to thinking “I wonder- - “. The second is that there was put out a “story” by the Federation about a teenage girl who had gained notoriety among Christian circles. To this day I don’t know if she died or what but somehow there was all this information gleaned about her from several decades ago that nobody else knew, although they say that there had been a lot of “literary enhancement”. The third female was that Romulan agent in training as a young teenager. For some reason she was picked on by the Federation and they said the Romulans had to be really desperate for espionage agents to recruit her. I’ve never been able to figure out their animocity tword her. And they would put out these little skits. One involved her as this googol eyed groupie who was allowed aboard this Submarine and you’d see the obligatory bubbles ascending from out the port holes, and there would be all this complicated electronic gadgetry and she was with this black mentor- - - who looked a lot like Jordi from TNG, and kind of was like a black “Mr Rogers” who spoke to her as though she were a little kid like one of these shows from the ‘fifties or something. And she’d be asking all of these “kid” type questions being impressed with all the gadgets- - - and his answers were just about as bad, at times deliberately hammed up to play on puns and stuff and humor she didn’t get. There is a whole post script to this story of course in that maybe ten years later when she was in her twenties, it’s been reported that this Romulan Agent had personally killed several enemy agents, and suddenly the Federation was singing a different tune like, “maybe the Romulans knew what they were doing”. We can add one more not quite female to make a foresome for bridge. Oh, did you know that a Grand Slam in Bridge was “taking all thirteen tricks?” I guess that’s a prostitute who’s had a good night. In August of 1999 the “fake” Brian Jones met up with Greg, who is known as kind of a sullen “hot head”. He’s one of these people who seems to walk around with a chip on his shoulder but he won’t tell you what it is. He has made friends with a coupe of notable people however. John Lennon said he liked his version of “Real Love” better than the one the “Threetles” did. This remark sure caught me by surprise. But I think he saw how this recording Greg did had really taken off in Sirius A and had to tip his hat. Also Kurt Cobain and Greg have come to an “understanding” of which songs Kurt and he will perform so that they don’t overlap. For instance Greg has done recordings of “Lithium” and “In Bloom” with drastically re-worked lyrics. I have told people up there I thought Greg’s lyrics on “In Bloom” were ingenious, and I hope he got my message. And by the way Greg do a few verses I wrote as a parody of Pete Richards in the song “California Dreaming” which were meant to utter scorn and disdain for Pete as if to say “Hey everybody- look as what an asshole I am”. Anyhow- - - Black Bart submitted the lyrics to Greg in the summer of 1980 and he said “I’ll record them”. John Lennon heard these lyrics and told me he thought they were very philosophically insightful. I hope Lennon knows the lyrics were meant as a put on satire- - and sure were not reflective of how I really felt. Anyhow as I was about to say Greg met up with the “fake” Brian Jones who had occupied Zachery’s body and the results were pretty bad almost ending in an all out drag-out fist fight. It was kind of like Greg saying “If I ever see your face around here again- - you’re getting it bad”. Anyhow as you know this “fake” Brian Jones was perhaps before and after this possessing Valerie S’s body. Now there’s someone who could be a good agent of some kind. She’s done a wide variety of jobs in her time and some of them are macho jubs such as truck driver, engine mechanic, and fry cook. As to the real Brian Jones, he’s like Bin Laden. Nobody seems to know where he is and nobody seems to care. You hear roomers but nothing materializes.
