A E G Cleared of All Wrongdoing in Michael Jackson's Death

I was stunned by the verdict, though my roommate said he agreed with it.  AEG was cleared of all liability in the death of pop star Michael Jackson.  I think the decision is a major travesty.  It seems as if there have been so many cases tried in the LA area where the defendant walks.  The attorneys were paid on a Contingency, so they are the ones, the ones Kathryn Jackson and the family hired, they are the ones that really took a bath, financially.  The whole verdict hinged on "thirteen key questions".  The first question was "Did AEG hire Dr Murray? and that answer is Yes.  Question two was "Was Dr Murray competent?  The answer to this one is obviously NO.   Dr Murray is in jail and the patient is dead and it's due to prescriptions that he wrongfully administered.  To me it seems like a slam dunk case of cuolpability.  Of course Bill Handel called it correctly saying that the Jackson family was wasting their time in this one.  Of course Eye Witness news expended so much time on another of these many auto freeway chases we have around here, as if there weren't another news story in the world.  Naturally I changed it to KNBC, a station which I think is better, but Bill likes Eye Witness.

President Obama met with all the leaders in an hour and a half meeting today.  He discussed this whole government shutdown crisis with John Boehner and Nancy Pelosi and Mc Connell and Harry Reid.  But the meeting was completely fruitless.  It seems this whole crisis was spawned by a letter that eighty conservative house members (still a minority out of 230) asking John Boehner to link the elimination and repeal of Obama Care to the federal Debt Ceiling.  But now I hear that Speaker Boehner is basically taking orders from Jim De Mint of South Carolina, who is no longer in congress.  He is a lobbyist with the Heritage center.  It is only relatively recently that it dawned on most of us that being a lobbyist was where the real power was, and being in Congress was just an apprenticeship or something- - to what their real goal is.  All you need is someone in Congress with enough working digits to sign their name and push that electronic voter signaling button things.  But now there is more disturbing news according to the Randi Rhodes show today.  It seems it's being seriously suggested that there should be a military takeover of the country because there are "good men in the military".  Perhaps it's escaped their notice but the comander and chief of the Armed forces is- - that Black guy in the White House.  Maybe this scheme would have made sense eight or so years ago when Bush was beginning to pull away from the sway of Dick Chaney- - and the Republicans in congress were becoming unpopular and people were starting to doubt President Bush on a lot of issues.  Tom Clancy died today, who was famous for all of his Military novels.  I never knew his first one "Red October" wasn't untill 1984.  I thought he'd been writing since the seventies.  Anyhow- - if these people are serious about a military takeover- - they are nuttier than I think they are.  But basically today has been a "Nothing much happening" day.  It's kind of just "The Day After".

If you are curious about the I Pads saga in the LA Schools, it seems the I Pads were only introduced in two schools, Roosevelt High and Westchester High.  But of course a whole lot were initially lost or stolen.  Then the students hacked them so that they could tweet and watch porno sites on the web during class time.  They were allowed to take the I Pads home, and they admit now that that was a mistake.  There was talk about perswading students to give them back, and some students actually complied with that request.  But the whole thing is turning into one big hairy mess.

Who would have guessed all the strange events that have taken place in the past two years.  If you'll remember back then in early October- - Rick Perry was the governor who had pulled off the Texas Miracle.  But he was to crash and burn before the month was out.  It was perhaps just about two years ago when character Will Horton had the bright idea that he was gay.  Keep in mind for 45 years on Days of our Lives- - the topic of homosexual had not so much as been whispered in this provincial town of Salem with all its Catholics.  If Sylvia Brown had made all the correct predictions for events of the past two years- - people would have thought she was losing her mind and had really whigged out.  Just think about it.  A hurricane causes major damage in Long Island.  We've had simotanious hail blizzards and record heat and drought - at the same time.  Automobiles without drivers are approved for street use in California.  Also in California it's now illegal to photograph children of celebreties- - or you'll be thrown in jail.  Look at all the mass shootings we've had in the past two years.  Look at all the racism that his reared its ugly head once more, and the massive miscarriages of justice in so many places.  We had the histerics over Bengazi - - and trying to blame it on former Sec of State Hillary Clinton even though she had nothing to do with it.  You have congress voting 41 times and counting to repeal the same bill - - unsuccessfully all 41 times.  Talk about the definition of insanity.  Obviously there is the first government shutdown in 17 years.  Who would have predicted I Phones that only work if it identified you personally by your fingerprints?  No.  Sometimes "past experiances" are not the best predicter of future performance.  (Selah)

To answer some of your cosmic questions - - the mystery group we referred to involving the word BOSC of of course Blue Oyster Cult.  Their guardian angels didn't want their songs included in the Sirius A Howard legond, as then constituted.  The moving of the bedroom furniture incidents were courtessy Keith Relf of the Yardbirds, and of course his instrument of choice was the harmonica.  Glen Campbell has been confirmed to be a "Meuranian"  pronounced "Moranian", if we didn't say.  And of course that "autocratic" lead singer was Crissie Hind of the Pretenders.  It is believed by Mal Evans that the song "I am the Adulteress" was a celebration of Elizabeth Taylor having an affair with Eddie Fisher.  In our lexicon of celebreties- - it's Debby Reynalds - - that Stewart Sutcliffe can't stand because of her cosmic Alcyonne vibes.  I would have posted this blog earlier except I had problems with Google Desktop not searching files saved after December of 2012.  I guess they took the Mayan Calendar seriously.  I was unable to remedy the problem.  Oh - - if you are wondering about that Bob Dylan multiple choice- - the answer is "R J" as in "You may call me R J" for Robert J De Falco.  We've mentioned his name a couple of other times.  Right now I have my back to the TV and I'm listening to the audio of "The Middle".   Of course my version of Google Desktop is in French- - but at least you can run THAT through Google translater.  That works.  However there are a number of things where Bing is superior to Google- - but in business address location - - Google takes the prize.  They got rid of my lake picture for "My Google" first in the Firefox edition a couple of months back, and then in the Chrome version- - quite recently- - so now I'm staring at this plain white background.

This is an update but since there is still the same dreadful news as the past three days lets stick in a little more Federation news.  There is another music group called the Rhondonians - - - and their "wave" of fame seemed to come in the early to mid eighties.  Joe Jackson is the best known - -  but "I Just Can't Stop Loving You" by Michael Jackson is a Rhondonian inspiration.  I have no idea what that word means - - but a lot of this music is characterized by kind of Latin style piano playing (but NOT "Rock the Casbah") but "Smooth Opperator" is.  "Down Under" and Men at Work are "Berliners"  (see prev ref)  Actually it is believed I ran into Rhondonian music in my Austrailian incarnation in the late 1800's.   We'd like to elaborate more on that "Aquarius" group.  They are called Aqine in Sirius A Romulan but that word does not exist in Regelus V Romulan.  It's pronounced with the long I - and it's kind of a German e ending.  The word in the native tongue means "well digger", and the word in Sirius A Romulan means "Water provider" with more of an allusion to it being an aquaduct.   This group as you may or may now know is the Fifth Dimension,  Tommy James, except for their first hit,  the Cowsills, and Alive and Kicking.   The other thing we wanted to mention was - - how Denise D has left calling cards - - such as a mystery record album - - or that New English Bible that had all this underlined stuff in an obscure Approphiical book - - and also the perfume sampler- - - it's a common name but it's been "classified".  However we may have screwed up the grammar explanation previously.  It isn't a "middle voice" but it's a subjunctive or imperative- - - of a word that in Romulan where these "modes of the word" are shall we say "innoperative".  There are a very few words in Romulan where the imperitive is not even a logical possability- - but this word is one of them- - and this inopperative Imperative mode is used with this perfume.

Betrayal is an Ugly Thing

The song Buick 59 was recorded in 1954 and Paul is 59 today.  Today is his birthday and I haven’t called him.  We are in lavender (for all you blogees out there)   The weather is still clear, sunny and warmish.  This is Wednesday October 1, 2013.  This of course is the first day the Health Care exchanges are open for business and they were so jammed with business that the sites jammed up and they couldn’t handle everybody.  President Obama says “More people came to this site than ever came to our old site”.   The idea of  restaurant or something having "too many customers to handle" on opening day, is a problem that a lot of business owners would love to have!   Rush Limbaugh, ever the pessimist, pointed to one called who had a problem registering with the site.  He’s not the only person who has ever been caught in one of these auto regurtitation loops.   Judy once directed me to a site where someone from the right was “Applying for Canadian health care” just to see how hard it was, and apparently had all sorts of problems.  The problem is that the vast majority of people are perfectly happy with Canadian health care.  It’s a long standing trick of Born Again Christians to point to the one exception - - and label it as the norm.  They do this on both the positive and the negative side.   And women for instance will get exams for all their feminine problems in the way of prudent maintenance care that formerly they were denied.

 Betrayal really sucks, doesn’t it.  Randy Rhodes was too optimistic if she thought that John Boehner was rational and would bend to logic and reason on this issue and realize his side couldn’t win.  What' scarey is that if the President and Vice President were to suddenly get bumped off - - Speaker Boehner would become President!   Scarey thought, huh?  In the first place their side has no “end game”, which is to say they really don’t know what they are fighting for, or when they have won or lost.  I’m sure Sung Su must say something about that in “The Art of Warfare”.  Short of some right wing govt takeover I just don't see any way the tea party can win on this issue.  What can they possibly gain that they don't have now in terms of any sort of respectability?  They can only end up the losers, as I see it.  But in another sense Randy Rhodes and all the other lefties I think are overly pessimistic about the prospect of either picking up house seats next year, or peeling off house republican votes now to reverse the decision of the House last weekend.   Six republicans bolted in one vote led by a New York republican in a liberal district, perhaps afraid of vulnerability from the left.  The thing is there is only thirteen house republicans out of the 430 that are in the House, have to switch sides and the game is over for John Boehner.  But now Boehner is proposing that they selectively vote on which Government departments they will or won’t fund, individually.  This, of course, is insanity.  72% of the American people think this government shut-down is a bad idea.  More people blame the Republicans for the shut-down than they do Obama,  My guess is the numbers here will steepen as the ratio between the two numbers goes up as more and more people understand the Affordable Care Act.  The numbers on how they like the act per se, is about evenly divided.  It’s not a case of “An overwhelming number of Americans being against it”.  As we said, John Boehner did not even put the Senate "clean bill" proposal to a vote in the house.  So the position of the entire House on this issue remains an unknown.  In fact, the House has been planning for this very day since at least last May when John Boehner refused to schedule a conference committee meeting with the Senate, because the US Senate did what they were supposed to do and passed an official Government spending bill for the fiscal year 2014.

Government employee wages are frozen, just as the government workers right next door in LA County, have had their wages frozen, and now are being offered peanuts of a two percent pay raise over the next couple years.  I remember when they announced this government pay freeze people on the right called it a "meaningless gesture".  Everything done to placate the right done by this President is seen as "A meaningless gesture".  In the case of the county workers - they suffered through the bad times of the recession by making a "temporary" sacrifice.  Now they're offered two percent - - for all of the economic loss suffered since 2008 or so or the past five years.  This, needless to say is way below the inflation rate on things people actually need.   But the democrats have already compromised because they are using republican funding rates- - and keeping the Sequester intact indefinitely.   The political discourse has become much coarser than it used to be.  The guy who shouted ‘You lie” to the President at the State of the Union address, was a ground breaker because Randy Rhodes had been repeatedly told by politicians that “Terms like that were not used in polite society”.   Another term in common usage now is “Blackmail” and many people don’t even blink at the phrase “political terrorist”.  These are dire times.   Many have likened this situation to playing a game of political “chicken”.  The trouble is THEY are not in either of the cars.  They have all of us strapped in securely in one of the cars so that we can’t get loose.  Then the whole car is remotely controlled and revved up at high speed into oncoming headlights.  People used to speak of “brinkmanship” as “Taking it right to the edge - - and then pulling back”.  The thing is with today’s republicans is that they are taking us all OVER the edge!

I would like to do a little essay or exercise in “What constitutes a viable threat”.  Most people think of a THREAT as something someone else holds over you to somehow intimidate or control you or make you fearful and uncertain.  And they decide whether or not the threat will be carried out.  They are in control.   Now let’s take a look at Nick Fallon and Will Horton on Days of our Lives.  Will Horton agreed to give up claims to the baby and indeed keep his own paternity of her a deep, dark secret.  Will broke that promise.  Then Nick gets Will to sign a legally binding document disowning paternity.  The terms were once again that Will would not tell a soul- - and the thing would be buried.  In return - - Nick would not be instrumental in whether Will would be prosecuted for attempted murder.  Once again Will violates his pledge, and tells everyone he sees that he’s being blackmailed “because they want to prosecute me for the attempted murder of E J Di Mira”.   Do you notice something funny here.  The idea of Will ever being in danger of being prosecuted for this crime - - never existed.  Because everybody knows he did it and they don’t CARE - - because the Bradys run the police department- - and I’m sure Roman Brady is as familiar with the evidence in that police locker as anyone.  But just do divorce himself entirely from the situation - - Nick tears up the document and gives the baby back to Will and steps out of the picture.  But Will speaks of “being in Hell - - “.    He can’t be in ‘Hell” as he puts it, because there was NEVER ANY THREAT.   We now take Roe vs Wade.  Here again the doctrine of “It has to Exist to count” comes into play.  The case should never have been brought before the court because the Mother went ahead and HAD the child (and I am glad she did – and I imagine the child is glad to be alive)   So there is no case.  The mother has already made the decision not to challenge it.  So how did the case end up in Court?  It’s like Citizens United.  (And don’t get me started on that one)   Sometimes in Bible texts there is what I call the Christine De Mira factor you have to watch out for.  Cops know about this.  This is you look for “unexplained irregularities in a person’s action”, kind of like the orbit of Uranus leading to the discovery of Neptune.   You observe stuff like Christine freaking out during that counseling session with Father Eric.  And Christine freaks out in Marlena’s office and never explains her actions being there- - and Marlena seemed almost amused that Christine was even snooping around as if looking for something.   Now let’s look at the early chapters of Luke for more of these kinds of “hints”.   In the story of the temptation of Christ- - which is a post Marcion addition to the book of Luke- - - Jesus is offered “all the Kingdoms of the World in a single moment’ by Lucifer.  As Fred Price points out- - it’s Lucifer who is in controle here offering Jesus something he DOES NOT HAVE - - and again as Fred points out Satan has the power to deliver into his hands- - for a price.   Here is another story.  The Christmas story points out how some old man says “This baby Jesus will be the redemption and deliverance of the nation of Israel”.   So we have late additions to the Bible- - one makes Satan more powerful than Jesus - - and the other includes a “prophecy” that did not in fact come to pass.  Why?  These two stories were late additions to Humanize Jesus- - in reaction to Marcion’s doctrine.  The Authors knew if they were going to buttress the doctrine of Jesus being more than a myth, they had to as it were “put flesh and blood on him” and make him more relatable.   Here is another strange case.  In the earliest days of the Gospel in Egypt - - - “Crestus” was alive and Judas was dead.  According to the original version of what happened - - there was a beaurocratic snaffoo- - and Judas was rightly put to death for his act of treachery- - and Crestus went on to live and lives even as they are telling the story.  But later Bible writers a whole century had to reconcile this idea of a live Jesus and a dead Judas.   So they have to cast Judas as so guilt ridden that he hangs himself within a day or so of the act, before Easter morning.  But here’s something I never thought of before today.  Pastors pride themselves in saying how insignificant an amount thirty sheckels really were.  They say it’s about equivelant to “dinner and a movie” in our time.  So Judas essentially sold out for “a night on the town” by their telling.  Problem.  Scripture says “With the money Judas got for his fowl crime he went and bought himself a plot of land”.   I don’t know about you - - but I haven’t seen any vacant house lots selling for a cash price of fifty dollars lately.  But another obvious question arises.  Since Judas held the money purse, why not just run off with the thing and never be heard from again.  Why risk arrest himself as "one of those desciples" by even going to the Authorities to begin with?  Also the very idea that the authorities needed Judas help to apprehend is an insult to the intelligence of both the authorities and common sense.  Surely they knew, as Judas did, what Jesus customarily did and his habit of getting away to pray by himself.   The CIA wasn’t invented just in our time.  No.  They were going to arrest Jesus with or without Judas.  But then they feel compelled to bring in this “government snaffoo” angle, as if by compultion, and so the figure of “Jesus Barrabus” is introduced in all four gospels, as is this non existant “custom” of a Passover Pardon granted by Pilate.  Why bring into the story another character with the same name of “Jesus” and a pardoning ceremony that never existed.   I think once again as with the case of Christian Di Mira- - it’s nothing more no less than “guilty knowledge”.  (Selah)

Betrayal was the tropic of the soap opera today.  Samantha Brady realized she was betrayed by her future husband, E J Di Mira.  He pretty much sold out everybody’s happiness in order to placate his ogre of a father, who never seems to lose.  The last thing Samantha knew was that E J was offering publicly to work with the prosecutor even at his own risk, to bring down Stephano by supplying vital information about his father.  I saw him and he seemed dead serious in this.  But in Samantha’s eyes- - she comes into her house and Stephano was there, who had been kicked out of the house and all of his property lost to Elvis, who held all the cards.  But it’s kind of like the tea party.  We all think Obama is secure in his jovial speech - - but I have a prophecy for President Obama.  Being the “happy, smiling Nigger”  - - won’t work with these people.  They aren’t going to let it go that easily.  Mark my words.   Because they hold you and hold me at a disadvantage.  We in our logical minds view certain eventualities as “off the table” or “out of the realm of possibility”.  The trouble is- - the other side doesn’t see it that way.  Stephano knew way back when - - that this very moment of Elvis’ “undoing’ would arrive- - with seemingly a God-like certainty.  Maybe Samantha could view the bad dream of today as being some kind of karmic pay-back for sleeping with Elvis will still married to Raphael.  It’s above my pay grade to second guess karma or the ways of Divine retribution.  But I’ll say this.  Two wrongs don’t make a right.  Sometimes two Wrongs  - - just make -  Two Wrongs.  And this is such a case.   Samantha in no way deserves the sort of shit that has rained down on her today.  I keep thinking of the lyrics to “Take a letter, Maria” that go, “I kept my cool, I ain’t no fool, let me tell you what happened then.  I packed my things and I walked out, and I ain’t coming back again”.   Clearly this event ENDS the relation with Elvis.  Elvis’ big mistake was in not waiting till after they were married before he lowered the boom on her.  It’s the same mistake the Jewish people made at Massada.  (just watch the movie)   Elvis over-played his hand.  But it’s not too late for Sammy.  She can get out of it- - and she’ll have her whole family – and me, supporting her in her move.   Most of the time Betrayal is a horrible, ugly thing.

Jennifer began calling names for Money Draw before two.  I went down for two o clock coffee and greeted Loretta and noticed how much weight she has lost lately.  She asked me if I’d gotten my money and I told her I needed to write out my check, which I then did.  Anyhow we had two cups of coffee from Dora.  The gray bird was chirping a lot, as he has been.  The music class is so loud all the way from up stairs.  Lisha pointed out “I think they are singing – on top of spaghetti - - all covered with cheese”.  I became familiar with those song lyrics when I was about ten”.   Then they were singing a Beverly Hillbillies number, “Oh the best darn soap is Foggy Mountain Soap, it makes your whole day Brighter” from the mid sixties.  They also were singing “Oh My Darling”.  I think that’s the song Jethro Bodeine was singing when he almost electrocuted himself on the guitar.    They also sang “Charming Billy” or Billy Boy.  Rush Limbaugh played this – Jimmy Clanton track (?) he says came out originally in 1957 in mockery of the Clinton campaign and Rush began playing the Jimmy Clanton version around the time of Bill Clinton’s birthday in 1992.  They also sang “My Bonnie”.   Here I’ll go cosmic on you because there is a recording made by a fake Beatles and a fake John Lennon - - where the song “My Bonnie’ is sung in the style of “Baby’s in Black” complete with tambourine.  It is believed that the real John Lennon is aware this fake John Lennon has been around for a long time.   At some point I did get in the line for Money Draw behind Phyllis Green - - and it wasn’t too long before I got in and gave Jennifer my check made out for $1.050, which is significantly more than I’ve been plopping down, putting me in a better financial stance.  I asked for and got twenty and left.  There was no candy.   I didn’t need to buy anything.  I already had cigarettes & coffee.
