Mitt Romney isn’t
content to make an ass of himself in this country. Now he’s doing it in England. First of all he goes on this “common
Anglo-Saxon heritage” but, when I don’t even think Romney is an English
name. I thought it was German. There is this scandal with Barkley’s bank of
England discussed on the Mc Laughlin group last Saturday. They are under investigation for the LIBOR
scandal, and there is dispute as to how to pronounce that word. They are involved in manipulating interest
rates among other things. A number of M
P’s or members of parliament wrote Barkley’s saying they should not consort
with Romney or visa versa. For Mitt
Romney they are birds of a feather. Mitt
Romney then goes on to express doubt as to whether London is really prepared
for the Olympics opening tomorrow, in either organization or the people who’ll
be attending. The Mayor of London today
spoke before a stadium of 100,000 people today and he fingered Mitt Romney by
name saying he should not doubt that the British people are Ready for the
Olympics, and led a cheering section.
What an embarrassment for Romney.
Romney went on to talk about his wife’s running in the dressage horse competition
and added “I won’t even be watching the event myself, that’s just Anne’s sport”. Mitt has not really apologized for any of
his remarks about anything.
This whole saga of the
Anaheim Police Department and the shooting of Manuel Diaz is an issue that isn’t
going away. Frankly I think they should
televise the inquest or whatever on local LA stations like they did with the
death of Reuben Salazar who was fired on and killed as he sat in a bar by the
LAPD in east Los Angeles in late August of 1970. I watched all this inquest stuff in the
following weeks in 1970 since I really wasn’t doing anything else with my life
then. Anaheim is a tale of two
cities. 53% of the population is Latino,
a fact that Judy most certainly finds distressing. We know her abiding hatred of the Arab
community in Anaheim. Now there is talk
about “anti gang” activities by the cops when what they mean is if you are of
Hispanic extraction. David Cruise was
out in the neighborhood broadcasting live on his afternoon radio program. Here are some statistics. Only twenty percent of the population has
past a ninth grade education, which surprises me. 78% of this community on Anna Drive are long
time residents. 43% are foreign born but
73% of those are US citizens. The
apartment complex apparently has plain tan or beige buildings. Manuel Dias wanted to join the marines but
his mother discouraged him from doing that like his older brother did because
she was afraid he’d be killed. In
retrospect the marines were probably a safer bet. In terms of the actual shooting itself you
know the facts. He was shot right there
on the front lawn with video cameras running.
He was moving around with a bullet to the back and a bullet out his
forehead. A 21 year old friend
approached him wanting to give aid, and the cops prevented others from
rendering aid, but neither would they themselves call an ambulance. The residents of the street did that. There were hours of delay and Manuel died at
seven PM. Manuel was cuffed while he
lay, perhaps a long time, bleeding to death.
Manuel was given the name Stomper because he was a stand-out athlete on
the basketball court. Little children
witnessed the police shooting and others are concerned these little children
might be traumatized for life because of what they witnessed. His mother took legal action now and believes
the two offending officers need to be arrested right now. Another spoke of the need for a “Revolution”
and reminds people that “Revolution” is not an unlawful word. As I said before it means some sort of means
of “going outside the box” because it’s clear if the status quo is allowed to
continue, things will only get worse and worse.
Meanwhile before an investigation is even conducted, the Police Union
says that “It is a good shooting”. The
officers are not off the force but merely on temporary paid leave. The officers came back to the neighborhood
today waving their guns around threateningly at the people. People have got to be stirred and protest
this event themselves.
Elvis Di Mira is being
set up. This became quite plain when
Samantha Brady was mugged on the way to delivering the flash drive, which was
the only thing stolen. She then arranged
for E J’s bail by putting up Countess Wilimena as bond. But then Roman at the station received an
anonamus phone call saying that Elvis was planning to escape to Uriguay even
though Elvis was wearing an ankle bracelet.
That would make no sense. Someone
had heisted the plane and gotten tower clearance for take-off. Meanwhile Elvis was back at his residence not
having a clue what kind of shit was about to go down till Will Horton told
him. Here is a case of formal rivals
bonding together to face a common enemy.
In this case it’s Samantha and her son working together to give all the
help to Elvis they can. Will was using
the computer to de-activate the ankle bracelet, and I guess he was
successful. Samantha is the sort of
person who is proactive in that she likes to get out in front of a potential
problems while they’re still solvable. I
don’t need to say that I hope Elvis eludes the law in this case, because it is
clear now that Elvis did not shoot Stephano.
Meanwhile Victor and Maggie returned to the show- - only to be at each
other’s throats. Maggie was in a feisty
mood like I haven’t seen her in some time defending her son Daniel, for his
involvement with Nicole. And meanwhile
back in the underground tunnels where gas is coming in, wires are sparking and
there has already been one explosion.
Gabriel even now is misleading those who are there to help Melanie as
Gabriel is still only trying to save her own skin and doesn’t want captor
Andrew from blowing the whistle on her and exposing her sick deception. Sometimes fictional stories can serve a
constructive moral purpose. Other times
they don’t. I have just developed an
alternate version of events surrounding Jesus’ crusifiction. Why did the crowd mysteriously turn against
him between Sunday and Good Friday. No
Biblical scholar has ever been able to answer that question, but I have.
Today is July 26th and happy birthday, Mick Jagger. It's the 32nd (1980) anniversary of Jim Cooper moving into the Bosc House. He has seen the notice on a Cal State Fullerton bulleton board. As I recall he saw the house and moved in right away and that night attended the Bible Study and fit right in with everybody, like it was divine destiny. I had been working on God's Winepress in ernest about two weeks. During these two weeks I had also started smoking again, which helped me think better. Tonight we had barbecue sauce meat balls and I had seconds from Dora, and seconds on the rice, and if she'd had brocolli I'd have had that, because I'm endeavoring to gain weight. I had pains in my chest just before being served at dinner tonight so I figured if I had a heart attack I wanted to make getting this post out my first priority. These are troubled times we live in. Syria is coming apart at the seams as the Civil War is only escalated by sending out the fighter jets straifing the city. President Obama will not call for new gun legislation prefering to bury his head in the sand- - or up his ass. Wednesday night Mike Meloy went into graphic detail of the machanics of ice and glature melting and how these warming channels and trenches are formed that only speed further thawing. In a glint of good news - the new unemployment claims for this past week are down, and pray this trend only Continues.
