Manuel Angelo Diaz was gunned down in cold blood by Anaheim Police one innocent Saturday afternoon around four. Two cops came upon three men who were having a "suspicious conversation" and so the cops gave pursuit and the three of them ran. Two got away and Manuel Diaz ran to the front of the apartment complex, perhaps to get in range of video cameras. There is roomered to be video camera footage of the shooting. Diaz was shot in the back and fell. Then an officer came and fired a bullet to the head while he was down in cold blood. He rendered no first aid to the subject, and restrained bystanders from offering first aid. As you know if they intervened they could be arrested for "obstruction of justice". Manuel Diaz was 25 and had a lot of friends in the neighborhood. He was a popular person and it's amazing how quickly so many rallied to his support. They stormed City Hall with cries of "No justice - No peace". But there was an incident later on where pepper ball bullets were fired into a crowd of bystanders standing on private property (where they lived) and a police dog was sicked on them. This smacks more of Birmingham in 1061 than anything in California. There was a city council meeting today that was so beset with protestors I don't even think they actually held the meeting. Now other cities are getting involved. People are saying "the police aren't protecting us anyhow" and there is talk of reduced funding, courtessy Tea Party policies. People are on edge. Violent crime was up eleven percent last year, and has skyrocketed this year. So far there have been six fatal shootings of suspects by police in Anaheim. Of course the police have been caught in a lie at least twice. They lied about the other two men being in a car. And they lied about the guy throwing the bag of heroin on a roof. Now they say "We fired because he was going for a weapon".
In the state and local news 700 "store front" pot dispensaries in Los Angeles are being slated to be shut down by City Council in 45 days and protesters have filled city hall saying them have termanal diseases and marijuana is the only thing that keeps them going every day. I feel for them and wish enlightenment would ensue and they legalize the canibus plant. Apparently they want only a few "select growers" involved is there is to be any canibus dispursion at all. They claim Los Angeles's current policy will be in violation of State law. They found 54 million in the State Parks fund the other day but now the State is taking it away from them leaving parks to languish once again. Jerry Brown had promised Social Services is the State ever "found" any more funds that programs there would be restored first. They want to tax sugary soda pop and at this point I say to "go for it" because we need the money that badly we have to get it from whereever we can. I'm sure a lot of little kids will be throwing tantrums over it and a few dentists will lose business. I don't feel for them. I figure that Dr. Phil will just be getting more panicked calls from California parents for advice. Of course you know that the first leg of that high speed rail is constructive of that "all important corridor" between Madera and Fresno in the central valley. And for those who know California geography that isn't just a bad joke. In Anaheim they claim they have a hotel "bed tax". Not charging for sex, but it's funds from rich people that can be used to fund Anaheim's "first responders". I feel reassured, I suppose.
The national news is no less gloomy. NASA cattalite photos show that Greenland has Completely Thawed. Greenland is known to have a permanent ice sheet over the majority of it's land mass and now it's - - - Gone. We had the mildest winter and hottest summer on record and the bugs love that. They are spraying for mosquitos in the south a month earlier than usual. (?) The plague of the locusts is under way and there is crop disaster in places like Texas of nearly Biblical proportions. Meanwhile James Holmes has sparked copy cats. One guy in Maine was planning to stage his own Armageddon with a cache of weapons. A guy in a theater who they said was 51 but doesn't look it. He stood up in a packed theater showing the Batman movie and loudly proclamed that "Anybody who has a gun- - this would be a good time for another Colorado shooting right now" or something to that effect. This man was immediately arrested and was found to have twelve guns at his home President Obama is throwing the election anyhow. He isn't sufficiently fighting back against Mitt Romney's lies, and they are such obvious lies. Romney's first political ad was that one about "If we talk about the economy we'll lose" quoting John Mc Cain. Now Romney's knickers are all in a twist over this "You didn't guilt it yourself" remark the President made. The President was merely echoing sentaments expressed by such people as Thom Hartman saying "Business would not be raking in all that money if our tax laws, and patent laws, and law enforcement, and courts, and infrastructure were not all working on behalf of big business". Mitt Romney is a fool of the first magnitude, but the President is shy about yanking off his gym shorts and exposing what he really is. And finally a Catholic Priest was arrested in Philadelphia for overtly covering up evidence of sexual molestation by other priests. But no matter how long his prison term, the suffering won't add up to the suffering by all his victims. (Selah)
Nora didn’t make it by
till about 10:35 and I finally got a cigarette from Paul, which was the final
one just about eleven. I got two others
from Paul right after breakfast. We had
beans and franks for lunch and corned bread and beets and I had seconds on the
beans and franks and the beets. We had
apple juice for breakfast so I opted for an orange at lunch.Nora knocked all the
mail off the night stand. Fortunately
several months of recent sstuff had been placed in the drawer, which makes it
all the more inexplicable. She had to be
a little proactive in knocking off that stack because it wasn’t high and quite
stable. It took me maybe an hour to
straighten out the mess. I still could
not find the November receipt from the ATM and I’m almost sure all those months
were in sequence. I’m positive there was
a November date in there somewhere. Last
week it was the Peace sign address book.
I did a fleece on just the November receipt on “Whether Mitt Romney
would screw up” and enphisized this bit would be a final one with “no ups, no
extras”. Of course November first of
last year did fall on a pay day and I haven’t checked my notes. In the soap opera now they have discovered
Gabriel’s prints on that note with her number on it. She is lying up a storm and now they want Dr.
Marlena to hypnotize her She of course
is refusing. I went out for coffee in
the courtyard at two. My name was called and I went down for Money
Draw. Loretta Hill waltzed in ahead of
me just before I was to go in. (I was surprised at how few people had showed up in this line) Then Paul [not Evans] showed. How he got ahead of me was
ingenious. When Loretta was coming out I
had started to go in and Paul was standing right behind me. When Loretta said she needed space to exit I
complied. Paul didn’t but continued to
hang around the office and so went in next.
I complained to [name] that both of them were later arrivals to the line
than I was. [name] gave me $11.80, which
was what remained in the account and about what I expected. I went and bought two packs of cigarettes and
gave one back to Paul a half hour later on the went patio. Both packs were John Black cherry. I paid Richard Moore two and I’ve given Bill
two so far- - but don’t want to use up that pack tonight. I paid Keith back the one
Of the Federation Albums - - Mike Bloomfield is responsible for a few and most notibly the lions share of organization of that Doors, Dylan and Stones giant CD compilation we did. He has also the prime mover behind such other Federation Compilations over the years such as "The Late Great State of Punk" done right after he died. "Dirty Deeds Done Dirt Cheap" our rendition cerca October first 1982 and then the single LP album "The Outsiders" late March 1983, a mid 1986 album I don't remember that much about - - "Seven Minutes to Ground Zero" or something - - and "Through a Beledonic Haze" in March of 1991, and "Paint it Black" in mid April of 1991. These last two were astral projections "post reincarnation". Perhaps it's no secret by now that Manuel Diaz was Mike Bloomfield reincarnated. There's a whole lot of other Federation stuff I was going to discuss at this point but I've just dropped the big bomb.
