There was one famous conservative, perhaps it was Milton Friedman, who said that "Out goal is to shrink and shrink government so much you can eventually drown it in the bathtub. Don't look now but George Bush desguized as Norman Bates is dawning his Andria Yates whig right now. Thom Hartman, a prophet of our time, has stated that there is a war out there against fundamental American values, and I do consider Christianity a fundamental value, and I'll get to that in a minute. But there is a common thread behind everything George Bush is doing, particularly in Iraq. The idea of not having a draft isn't incidental; it's part of the master plan th privatize the Army. If there are no draftees, there will be no protesters. All of these private security companies like Blackwater are things we never used to have. Remember that Bush wanted to completely destroy the Iraqi governmental infra-structure so that they could, in Thom's words, "Build a new Republican paradise of no government involvement". No wonder Meliki feels so ham-strung. We need to build him up if we truely believe in democraticly elected officials. In the correct view of things the whole "election" thing was just some side rabbit trail, and not in keeping what we were after in Iraq with war profitiers everywhere. As you know the whole philosophy of the Republican party is "Government doesn't work, so let's undermine it wherever we can". Bush doesn't want anybody protesting the war, just as he wants to export any potential protesters in Mexico to this country. If they are here they can't supply the reform voices badly need in Mexico to reform their dysfunctional government.
But now there is a new book out called "The Politics of Shock and the Economics of Disasters" or something. Hurricane Katrina is a way for the government to do something many have probably wanted to do for a long time in New Orleans, destroy its Black culture. If the mayor or anybody else says "New Orleans is going to come back as a chocolate city", this is seem as some kind of overt threat to Republican power, who want to dispurse Blacks, as once the Jews were dispursed as a people. There are shocking things that come to light "once the pieces are all put together". Someone got a hold of a 1963 CIA manuel, and it said that the goal in breaking down a suspect and getting him to talk was to "Reduce him to a snivelling child, who will confess anything to his "father" and once the Stockholm syndrone kicks in, the suspect will see the CIA as a parent figure, who will protect him. In the same vein many people see Rudolph Giuliani as some kind of a "father figure". These personalities like authority for authority's sake, and there are more people like that than I ever suspected. That must be why Kings have been so successful for thousands of years. But you also need to keep in mind that all the plans being put in action today by our Government are plans that have been on the shelf and on the drawing board long before 9 - 11 ever happened. They were just looking for some traumatic event to give them an excuse. The Rev. Gene Scott likes to quote the Bible where it says "Work out your salvation with fear and trembling" but goes on to say a more accurate translation is "work our your salvation with beatings and trauma". The media loves to talk about incidents such as kidnapping and sexual molestation a lot more than they used to. Since the media is run by corporations, one wonders whether they just might want to keep us in a state of fear. In my own life, October 8th. 1987, twenty years ago was a "day of shock and awe". Mine being the paranoid personality it is wonders whether the idea was original to Frank, or that he was somehow put up to it by someone who wanted to "break me" by "sending me a message". I think 9 - 11 is a "trauma" and Scientologists tell us that in a "trauma" en-grams get registered in the brain that are both unreasoned and unconscious. There are people who actually have said on call in shows, "I want MORE of my Civil Rights taken away". We may be in the twilight of democracy and not even know it. There is certainly nothing "Christian" about the War in Iraq. A real Christian would say "A battle between religions is a battle for God to fight" and that would be done through prayer and hard work working with individual people on a one to one basic. No Christian would say that bombing a people back to the stone age would "Win them to Christ".
Al Gore has won the noble peace prize. Many people are now putting increased pressure on the former Vice President to run for President. Others have taken to making disparaging remarks, such as that the Vice President has put on weight. My view on government intervention in the economy is that if it's really a necessity for cultural and ecological preservation, then we need to do it, which includes federally funded energy research (with a watch dog on who gets the money) and regulations such as gas milage or what kind of light bulbs we can use. I aguess you could say I favor government involvement if it's in our vital national interest. I do have my doubts about other things like what kind of arthritus medication we can take or what kind of cold preparations we should give to children under six. Now they want to take the lead out of lipstick. I'm a reactionary who says if we kept the lead IN gasoline, we'd have more efficient consumption today. Now people are upset about mercury in the new light bulbs and say that eventially we will switch to L E D's, or light emiting diodes. It seems to me that tidal power is one source of energy in our coastal areas that is under exploited. There is talk of harnising some "force" in substance that once "reverse" can "reverse" the pull of friction in a lot of items. One thing about Al Gore is that apparently he's been against the Iraqi war from day one. We need a president who detests this war as an immoral abomination- - enough to End It. It would seem that the Bush Adminestration is bowing to public pressure NOT to go to war in Iran, no matter what Hillary Clinton thinks. We need a foreward thinking President in a whole host of areas, and to my way of thinking, Al Gore seems to be the right man at the right time.
There are five things as I read my Bible that Jesus talked about. One of them was LOVE and inter-personal relationships and living in peace with your brother and winning him through kindness rather than hostility. The second is a hatred of religious hypocricy, be it repeticious. meaningless prayers, or lording your authority over others. often bullying them. The third is the notion of sin producing sickness and the healing of the body. The fourth is the casting out of devils and demons, and the fifth is a "crisis" at some future age where an Armageddon type battle to decide the fate of the world will be waged. Of all the inputs on my view of the Christian religion, three are the most destructive. And two of those are now dead. Gene Scott spread seeds of discord and confusion wherever he went. The second source is a person whom I refer to as "The Great Pervaricator" (liar) who has as his adjunct, "The asshole from El Paso", who is a local Pastor. I wonder if he knows his friend and perhaps mentor is now dead? The third negative source is Jesus Christ on KFI. Jesus scoffs at people who believe in tongues- - and in "gifts of the holy spirit" in general, and at times I wonder if he even disputes the existance of the Holy Spirit. Jesus says the only good prayers are meaningless ones and that making a religious act of prayers is what it's all about. He has in almost shocking terms denied the value of healings of diseases, and he definitely does not believe in Satan or demons, and as to the Second Coming he has dismissed it with the words "Last things should be worried about- - last". Still, Jesus Christ is on the air waves every Sunday spreading his bad karma. Every time you are a bad witness for God you diminish yourself. In this vein, Christianity has been such a bad witness for itself lately, he has gotten so "small" that pretty soon you'll be able to drown it in the bathtub. I guess there is a saying that if you diminish others, you diminish yourself. It is also said that "one man plus the Truth equals a majority". Were I to take the Gospel's advice, I would not seek outside Authority for my words. Gene Scott said, "Christ ceded all authority in himself". I don't see why I can't do that. I need someone who's word I can trust and who isn't a flake and has an experianced background. It would seem "Me" is the best candidate for the job. And now I am telling you readers of this "Trust me; I know what I'm talking about". The Devil is not some mouse staring at his own shadow in a flash light, as portrayed on the radio. The Devil is a lot more powerful and slick than most of us think. He's like a master chess player and he's beaten the best. This is where the lyrics "A mighty fortress is our God" come in. This is where we need the power of Christ, but there are devil agents who want to pull the plug on that Power. They want you to abandon the real Jesus for their theological games. You must resist them. (Selah)

Dealing with the Real World
A fact of life is that we don't get much in the way of real news on the network news. It runs a half hour but a lot of that is commercials, and there is also about half fluff filler material. One news item is that rendering case where a guy was "rendered" by the CIA and tortured for a while and dumped off in Albania with no ID to fend for himself. The Fourth Circuit Court of appeals has just ruled that "Official State Secrets" need to be protected and therefore the case can't be looked into because national security would be compromised, and the Supreme Court will not take the case. Of course this whole thing about not impeaching the President till there is an investigation is backward reasoning, because in the case of Nixon and Watergate they knew very little to start with. If you don't impeach (or indict) how can you get the ball rolling?
Thom Hartman knows his Bible rather well, particularly certain passages in Leviticus where it says you can't be gay, but also that you can't play football or sleep with your wife while she's having her period or eat shell fish. Of course there is a prohibition against the gay life style in Romans 1 by Paul and if you listen to Gene Scott's reason, you interperet Jesus's words in the light of Paul's letters and not the other way around because as a "Paulinist" you regard Paul as superiors to all those desciples who wrote the Gospels. In Gene Scott's reasoning therefore, Jesus has no a priori existance apartment from the status of the people who wrote about him. Therefore whether Jesus personally condemned homosexuals is not relivant.
Now that twelve year old boy has been attacked by conservatives, for delivering the democratic response on radio in an address last Saturday. People have come to his house and harrassed his family and said false things about him. This is the boy who was in a horrible accident and got that "S-chip" aid that President Bush vetoed last week saying the family income limit in the bill was too high. The father of the boy is a wood worker and owns a small, struggling business and has never earned over fifty thousand in any one year. The boy has a scollarship to a private school. The boy is a positive testimony to the beneficial things that government can do.
George Bush is stepping up enforcement of immigration laws rounding up aliens with new vigor. Now I'm wondering whether the President isn't doing this to go "See, our crops can't be harvested without hiring illegal aliens to do it". I guess they're blaiming the coming inflation of prices and food shortage on the fact that we don't have Mexicans to harvest our crops. Well, this could be a wake up call to American workers. But if we go out to work in the fields, do we get to join the United Farm Workers and get paid a decent negotiated wage? Allan Greenspan is wrong for once because we're starting to get that Jimmy Carter economic malaise back that we so dreaded thirty years ago. We could have the twin evils of inflation and recession at the same time. Our dollar is collapsing. We need to elect someone like Ron Paul as President to put our economic ship of state in right order. As I have said, the whole thing is going to blow up in Hillary's face in two years, just as the abuses of the Nixon adminestration blew up in Jimmy Carter's face, and he had to take the blame for decisions made before he was in power.
Of course we had that national heat wave a few days ago. It was ninety degrees during the Chicago marathon and people were complaining they shouldn't have to run in the heat and they were dropping out right and left, and I guess they finally ended the race early. Well, if temperatures thirty degrees above normal in most of the nation to alert to global warming, then I don't know what is. We're going to continue to see more flookish things like this.
The Republicans are having their debates but I'd like to know where a person can even watch them if you don't have cable and are still on dial-up. This is the first debate Fred Thompson has participated in and like the media has been doing they've been talking down Fred Thompson calling him lazy and ill-prepaired. Of course the better Thompson does the more he cuts into mayor Giuliani, and the media has a love affair with the ex mayor of New York. Now the Republicans are not debating in Hispanic formats, (except for Mc Cain) and also they all seem to be thumbing their noses at Blacks not debating in a Black forum. To me this seems like political suicide to just write off thirty to forty percent of the population before the starting gun. Of course three months before one vote has been cast the media has declared the winner as we continue to exist by government by polling. I'm hoping that some of these many candidates will come here to California so the local people can have a better hearing of them.
Of course my stance on Labor Unions is that I believe in their right to organize. But I also believe in a corporation or business's right to negotiate a wage with anyone they wish, and if the unions go on strike that substitute workers have the right to be employed by said business without being harrassed or threatened by goons at the picket line. In this I disagree with Thom Hartman saying that "government has to rig the game in favor of the middle class because otherwise they'd never exist". I've heard Thom's argument. The Black Death in Europe in the late 1300's and early 1400's killed off one third of the population which created a labor shortage and a middle class emerged and hence the renasance was born. Hartman has also talked about all the gold looted by the Spaniards creating trickle down wealth and how in general the only time we had a middle class here was before the Civil War and after 1945. My position on government and the economy is that they are to "promote the general walfare" with minimum wages and child labor laws and prohibitions against illegal ailen workers taking American jobs. We also need fair trade laws and terrifs with teeth. In all this I agree with Thom. But I don't agree with the rest of it, and I do not think government workers have the right to strike, because unlike private enterprize, there is no alternative competetion.
I continue to be amazed that they won't show smoking on TV and smoking is working its way twords universal abolition almost everywhere. And yet NBC thinks it's OK to show underage college students drinking. If I were Dean of the college I'd expel anyone caught drinking after the third citing. Better yet I'd say if you're caught once you could be expelled depending on how I feel that day. Imagine a fraternity haising that doesn't involving getting really drunk to the point of endangering your life. Probably rapes would drop and grades would go up, too.
Al Franken has stated that we should re deploy our troops in Iraq to the Kurdish border with Turkey, and I think that's a pretty good idea. If the Turks don't like us reminding them of the Armenian genocide I say, "tough, that's the price of being friends with the USA". I think it's time for the U S A to demand a little respect from our friends, if we're going to demand it of our enemies. I think the Kurds have the sort of democracy and prosperity that we've been hoping for and that we should tell Meliki to look north and "go thou and do likewise". If the Kurds want to take a chuck of Turkish territory, I think our country should support this. Nobody's holding a gun to our head are they? Can't the United States do virtually anything it deems "right"?
One way in which I'd at least psychologically get the US off a war footing is to roll Daylight Saving Time back to the first of April. And I'd also end it a lot earlier. I'd end DLST the second week in September or the week after Labor Day and when football season starts. I would like to kindly disagree with Rush about these school kids having to wait for the dark in places like Cincinatti and Fargo and San Antonio where it's virtually pitch dark outside. I just think it would be psychologically more healthy to see light when you got up in the morning to go to work or school. If I were the President I'd also get up and make a speech that we were NOT AT WAR with Iraq, and that any congressional resolutions to that end were null and void. I'd also say that Meliki was the duly elected president of Iraq and it was up to the Iraqi people to look to him for whatever solutions to "local" problems he might come up with.

Political Correctness Gone Nuts
It's funny how the book "1984" has become prophetic. For instance now it is "politically correct" to be in a "constant state of War". This is accomplished by never showing a funeral or a casket or showing the President at a funeral. It's "understood" that you don't talk about death. Also since taxes were cut for this war instead of raised, the notion of "sacrifice" is gone. George Bush should feel proud of himself that the economy has done so well. Sometimes I like to "take my political temperature" and listen to Larry Elder. He points out what I've heard before that the poor in this country live better than middle class people in Europe do. According to Larry the average poor person owns his own home, has sattalite TV and air conditioning. Accordxing to Larry there is no "overcrowding" in quarters of the poor. I have seen direct contradiction of this with about ten Mexicans in a one bedroom apartment. But according to Larry Elder the poor are doing just great and that poor children are as well nourished as anybody else in this country. So on the surface George Bush appears to have had a major success with the economy. Of course in the book 1984 there are lines about how the government must maintain a perpetual state of warfare so that the poor do not advance economically because if the poor get a taste of prosperity, they will want political power, too. The goal seems to be to keep the poor ignorant and gullible and deny them education that might cause them to think critically. If this line of reasoning is correct then we should expect some sort of a REAL "Peoples' uprising" in China, where they have a taste of prosperity. "Party members" are supposed to also be rather dumb, but hopelessly zealous, who would do ANYTHING asked of them, for the Party.
Rush Limbaugh has stated as one of his goals "To have everyone in America agree with me". It would seem that Rush Limbaugh does not consider soldiers in Iraq "real" soldiers, unless they agree with him, and with the War. The whole idea of the all volenteer army is to get a bunch of mind numbed robots out there doing the fighting. Rush does have a point in that, "These people (for the most part) knew what they were getting into" and that if they re-inlist for a third or fourth tour of duty it must be because they Love It so much. To the rest of us it seems a horrible disruption of family life. It used to be that if you were going to be a father they wouldn't draft you. I don't see it as any badge of honor not to get to know your kid till he's ten.
There is this urge to rewrite history. They want to edit all the smoking scenes out of old movies they show. They edit the Twin Towers out of sitcoms that rerun. In Leave It To Beaver there was a big contraversy because they wanted to show a Toilet, heaven forbid. This was unacceptable. Michal Jackson often has said when he came to this country in 1963 they would not allow use of the word "Pregnant" on a soap opera. Now there is a contraversy on "Desperate Housewives" involving some line apparently spoken about either Philapino doctors or Philipino medical schools or something. They're going to edit out the offending line in reruns, but I still have no idea what the line is because they're so secretive they don't tell us. For that matter don't you get tired of the phrase "The N word". Why don't they just go ahead and say it. Of course you know they chopped down that offending tree where all the nuces were hung in that racial incident in Louisiana or wherever. To me seeing a big pile of mulch were the tree used to be would be more of a reminder of the event than if they'd just left the tree up.
I don't know about you but I'm getting a little tired of this steroids hysteria. In the case of Marian Jones- - since this is the Olympics we're talking about it's OK to make it an issue because they have certain stated rules of participation. But I'm tired of Barry Bonds being raked over the coals. Suppose we discover our heroes AREN'T perfect? What if we were to learn General Mc Arthur was on steroids in the battle of Inchon? Would that make what his troops did any less heroic? The media seems to have very definite ideas who it loves and who it hates. And the media hates Larry Craig. They are in a tizzy because he "broke his word" and didn't leave the Senate by September 30th. as he had promised. His exact words were, "It is my intention to leave congress by September 30th.". It wasn't a resignation. And it wasn't a covenent made in blood. It was just a remark. The Republicans want him "gone" for other reasons involving Craig's voting record. This whole idea about not being perfect could become obsessive. Of course if you listen to Dr. Laura, apparently every woman is entitled to marry a Perfect man. If you discover any flaws in him then you made a "horrible mistake", and next time find a man a little less- - - mortal. Some of the things the media obsesses on are really silly, like Senator Obama's American flag lapel pin. Not wearing it is supposed to be some sinnister sign of his abandoning patriotism, or something. Of course the obsession on hair styles and make-up of Hillary Clinton is something I find a little silly. It seems we bring up all these phoney balogna issues, as if there were no real, subatantive issues in the land to talk about.
Now the buzz is about this four year old little girl who is supposed to be a genious painting pictures in the tradition of Picasso or something, but they say "maybe she had help". Well, if she "had help" did Picasso come back from the dead to help her? Sylvia Browne had a "warning" for all of us, the comercials intoned promoting Wednesday's episode. Well not only was the episode a year old rerun, but it would seem that the "warning" was deleted. I never saw it. Well, I'll give you a warning if you want one. Hillary Clinton and not George Bush will go into the history books as the worst president since Herbert Hoover, because it will be under Mrs. Clinton that this economy collapses. It's also my belief that civil liberties in issues that really count will suffer, and that a lot of the things we don't like about President Bush will be traditions that Hillary chooses to continue. You need only to read World Net Daily to know that there is a war on Christianity out there, and its one entirely based on irrational fears of the left. But like so many things in this "1984" politically correct world, opposing religious liberty will become the "in" thing in American culture. Think about it when you vote in November 2008.
Rush Limbaugh has stated as one of his goals "To have everyone in America agree with me". It would seem that Rush Limbaugh does not consider soldiers in Iraq "real" soldiers, unless they agree with him, and with the War. The whole idea of the all volenteer army is to get a bunch of mind numbed robots out there doing the fighting.

This whole idea about not being perfect could become obsessive. Of course if you listen to Dr. Laura, apparently every woman is entitled to marry a Perfect man. If you discover any flaws in him then you made a "horrible mistake", and next time find a man a little less- - - mortal. Some of the things the media obsesses on are really silly, like Senator Obama's American flag lapel pin. Not wearing it is supposed to be some sinnister sign of his abandoning patriotism, or something. Of course the obsession on hair styles and make-up of Hillary Clinton is something I find a little silly. It seems we bring up all these phoney balogna issues, as if there were no real, subatantive issues in the land to talk about.
Now the buzz is about this four year old little girl who is supposed to be a genious painting pictures in the tradition of Picasso or something, but they say "maybe she had help". Well, if she "had help" did Picasso come back from the dead to help her? Sylvia Browne had a "warning" for all of us, the comercials intoned promoting Wednesday's episode. Well not only was the episode a year old rerun, but it would seem that the "warning" was deleted. I never saw it. Well, I'll give you a warning if you want one. Hillary Clinton and not George Bush will go into the history books as the worst president since Herbert Hoover, because it will be under Mrs. Clinton that this economy collapses. It's also my belief that civil liberties in issues that really count will suffer, and that a lot of the things we don't like about President Bush will be traditions that Hillary chooses to continue. You need only to read World Net Daily to know that there is a war on Christianity out there, and its one entirely based on irrational fears of the left. But like so many things in this "1984" politically correct world, opposing religious liberty will become the "in" thing in American culture. Think about it when you vote in November 2008.

The Seduction of Complacency
It seems that the American Public will believe anything the media tells them. The past couple of weekends has featured on the news interview programs an almost coronation of our new Royal couple, Bill and Hillary Clinton. The Clintons have dominated shows such as Meet the Press and "This Week". And now there is the famous "Hillary laugh" that is in the news. I take that laugh to be she is so out of touch with reality when an attempt is made to answer a question, she just doesn't know where to begin. We continue to hear that Hillary and Rudy are our anointed nominees of the respective political Parties. In California they even engage in circular reasoning saying we need Hillary because she's the only one that can beat Rudy, and the Republicans are saying they need Rudy because she's the only one that can defeate Hillary. Even people like Pat Buchannon and Anne Colter by their passive resignation have almost endourced this dynamic duo of Rudy and Hillary. Buchannon has as much as said Hillary is virtually unbeatable, whereas Anne Coulter has said that conservatives will probably end up voting for Giuliani. The spirit just isn't there for any third party because they would know it would be political suicide.
I'd like to know what the appeal of Hillary is. " I guess you heard about the outdoor resturant smoking ban in Beverly Hills. My biggest fear with Hillary being president is that she will try and micro manage all our lives with rules about tollarence for gays in grammar school or corporal punishment, or being busted for smoking around kids, or what foods can be sold in school, or somehow rewriting US History to remove all references to God. I'd like to know what Hillary's basic appeal is. If it's universal health care will that care be at "the lowest comon denominator". I think [name withheld] could have gotten better hospital care if they paid the whole bill themselves or something like fifty years ago before they had medi-care. A lot of conservatives say "You don't WANT health care like they have in Europe". (the preceeding was from an e mail) Personally I'm disappointed in that "The Clintons" still stand behind their pro NAFTA decision when Clinton was in power. If you will remember it was Democrat Al Gore who advocated for NAFTA whereas Ross Perot was wisely against NAFTA. Now Bill is still saying NAFTA was and is a great thing. How does Thom Hartman feel about that, if he's going to vote for Hillary? Now World Net Daily is bringing up past political shady dealing by Hillary. The other day I heard that when the Clintons left the White House in 2001 they stole valuable things from the White House (like the silverware or something). I don't see how all that political corruption stuff from the nineties that Rush Limbaugh talked about is "just going away". What we need desperately is a third party candidate who is squeaky clean politically and isn't corruptable. I'd vote for that candidate. I just don't see why we're locked into two bad choices a year and a month before the election and over three months before the first vote is cast in the Primaries. Someone is trying to drive down the voter turn-out when the primaries do come, in some sort of a self fulfilling prophecy. Where do you go if you think government is spending too much money? Where do you go if you're fed up with this Securety mass paranoia? Where do you go if you're morally opposed to abortion? Where do you go if you don't want government micro-managing our daily lives? Where do you go, most importantly of all to find a candidate who won't continue to polarize America they way it's been polarized the last eight years?
Now the latest message the media is cramming down our collective throat is the idea that "The economic crisis is over". The Real Estate crisis is solved. The President has taken action and now the stock market is happy and is headed for new highs. I said quite a number of months ago in reference to a Sylvia Brown remark about "October" that, "Even if there is some kind of rally in October it won't last. It will be the last hurrah before the crash". I said that the economy would crash just about the start of the new year 2008. I see no reason to divert from this prediction now. We also have the upcoming War in Iran to worry about in addition to the falling (collapsing) US Dollar. People from Randy Rhodes to World Net Daily are reminding us that the War with Iran will be no picnic. China is happy that our economy is just about to go under and preporations may already be being made to pull the plug on the US dollar. And of course both Russia and China are allied with Iran so if we declare war on Iran we will really be at war with Russia. The media has us so hyped up on the necessity of War with Iran now we take it as a necessity and a foregone conclusion. We need to get over this fantasy that "the worst is behind us". Violence is down in Iraq. If this is so shouldn't we relax a little and celebrate, rather than to go ahead and plunge headlong into the next war? Is George Bush that much of a War Junky that the prospect of even a few months of peace anywhere terrifies him?
Clarence Thomas is in the news again. Needless to say that Clarence Thomas is a man who disgusts me. He is NOT a credit to his race because all the things people don't like about Blacks are manifest in Thomas. In saying this I apologize to everyone of color because Thomas has so little in common with anyone else of his race it's hardly funny. He's really a guy in a KKK sheet that happens to have colored skin. He talks about this "High tech lynching" he underwent in 1991 before congress. Howard Stern has remarked about the "stacks of pornography" that Thomas has in his home. Now Thomas has taken again to attacking Anita Hill's performance in the work place. If there was one thing that was certain it was that Thomas regarded Anita Hill as a good and faithfull employee. How Thomas is just lashing out angrily at everybody. He won't lash out at racial injustice, but he'll lash out at the very people who voted him into power. I didn't see the Sixty Minutes interview. I was coming home from a funeral at that time. Actually about one minute of a Clarence Thomas rant is about all I can take.
There are three women I'd like to tip my hat to because they have gotten a bum deal. One is that Chicano lover of Mayor Antonio Viragoso. This was a news reporter for a Spanish speaking TV station who got suspended, and then apparently fired, for being involved with the Mayor. Meanwhile nothing happens to him. I don't think the affair is anybody's business at this point. Next is Lady Dianna. There are the three haunting questions. Was she engaged? Was she pregnent? Was she murdered? 31 % of British subjects believe her death was not an accident, and now they're going to have another investigation. I think someone should do a movie in the tradition of Oliver Stone and just "lay it all out there" and say that there were people who wanted her dead, and just fill in the detales in a movie plot. Lastly, I'd like to extend my sympathies to Brittany Speers. Stewart Sutcliffe of the Orion Federation said we would come through for her and we didn't. Speers is just overwhelmed by negative forces that now are taking her two young sons from her and this is a sad thing. It's like the public is fickle. They love you one week and hate you another. I just hope that Brittany doesn't get murdered in the next few weeks, because if she does you know some wise-ass attorney out there is going to say that it was Suicide, and we all know better.
There is some Orion Federation news I'm now going to mention- - briefly. There is a group tagged the "Zachery lobby" that is causing trouble- - and trying to say I don't deserve to have anything do do with the Federation because I call myself a Christian. This is the same group that during the Cassiopian takeover of 1990 and1991 got rid of the real "Mal Evans" and put in a fake Mal Evans they could control. But when "Operation Mongoose" got rid of all the other Cassiopians, they hid in the shadows and escaped. Stewart and I launched a demand for investrigation of them last Saturday. Oddly this is also a fanatically "Pro Apple Corporation" group. They are all in favor of the I Phone self destructing if you try and modify it. In a Federation ruling that came out they came up with the ruling that "Corporate profits are a creature of the state. Corporations can't make huge profits unless state laws give them the Power to make profits through patent laws and such". It was stated that they ripped off the Beatles with the use of the name Apple and haven't got a leg to stand on.
