Senate Reaches Agreement on Gun Bill

Senators Pat Toomie and Joe Mansion (?) met today on a C-Span broadcast to outline the gun buyer background bill they agreed on, but only to Introduce to the Senate.  This has not been even done yet, which perhaps is why I saw no debate coverage on this bill on C-Span.  The bill won't be introduced untill tomorrow.  Both Toonie and the other guy agreed that this bill will not infringe on the rights of gun users, but only goes after the criminal backgrounds and mental instability of prospective guy buyers by closing the gun show loophole.  The bill also controls buying guns on line.  However there are many loopholes remaining.  For instance the bill exempts selling to family members and relatives, and even "close friends".  But I've heard nothing about barring straw buyers or making surrogate purchessers liable for aiding and abetting, as people who sold alcohol to minors would be subject to.  President Obama will introduce his budget tomorrow and no doubt we'll have more details then.  However John Boehner has already condemned the budget will acknoledging that "there is some effort twords expenditure reduction".  This would be in medicare and also in the "chain C P I switchover for Social Security.  John Bohner states however that "We gave the President his tax increase last January, so right now let's just pass the budget reduction portion of THIS bill that we BOTH presumably agree on".  In this manner John Boehner appears to lave led the President into a trap.  But let us set the record straight about the year end tax bill.   John Boehner did not GIVE our side a "tax hike" because taxes were scheduled to rise if the President or congress did absolutely nothing.  On the contrary we GAVE them the $400,000 cut off level rather than the $250,000 level the President had campaigned and won on.  In terms of the Melitia Act of 1792 enacted by George Washington- - this law is irrelivent as far as the reference to a "well regulated Melitia' is concerned.  The Courts have ruled time and time again that ANY individual citizen constitutes his own "Militia" and as such has gun rights.  Randy is uninformed of various Supreme Court rulings here.  Besides is she were right virtually nobody now owning a gun would have a right to continue to use that gun, and we know this is not the case.

In the news Mayor Viragosa has attacked both candidates who want to replace him next month for not being activist enough in the area of Education and has more or less "challenged them".  In other news one football player for the Jacksonville Jagwires- - claims to have gone Veegan and feels better than he ever has before and now "other players are doing it'.  I don't know.  They are probing the brains of mice with a new 3 D device that lets you take a third dimensional diarama into the brains of mice seeing details we have never been able to see before like individual neurons and even "seeing pain".  David Cruise is upset because he's claimed that due to skyrocketing crime rates they are having to let people out of State and County prisons and now these violent, dangerous felons are back on the streets comitting new crimes.  He said something about how prisoners go straight from prison to the streets even if they are supposed to be on parole, because we don't have funding for parole officers.  This whole David Cruise story makes little sense to me for a whole host of reasons.  It reads more like some John and Ken horror tale from twenty years ago.  Besides why would they pick to let the very most Violent men out of jail?  Why not go with more passive, non violent crimes such as bad check writing, or extortion, or drug related crimes or prostitution?  Yesterday on the radio I heard from more than one program that Jackie Robinson signing with the major leagues was a Bad thing because it hurt the Negro leagues.  Also the whole idea of giving up segregation was a bad idea because Black people had more pride when they stuck to their own and owned their own businesses in the "good old days" of a segregated America.   I remember some Preacher on tape several months ago who spouted garbage like this.  I guess there is just a lot of wierdness going around.

People who are less than mentally stable - should pay no heed to "voices" that appear to be pandering to them.  If I suspect this is going on, I get really uneasy. You could say I'm waiting for "whatever' and I'm not sure just what but I'll know it when I see it.  Stephanie Miller's "sexy liberal" tour hits Chicago Saturday night, and they are still apparently selling tickets to that.  The soap opera I'm watching has been pretty tense, shall we say and the whole plot line is making me a little nervous.  You have Christine and that mugger fiend of hers, and that has a potential to turn Violent.  And you also have Daniel and Clowie- - and the Truth is slowly but surely dawning on him.  I can't imagine what kind of verbal confligration will hit when both sides lay their cards on the table.  There are a lot of people at this point who wouldn't mind seeing Clowie dead - not one bit.  Meanwhile none of "the usuals" have conversed with me from "behind the veil of Death" or whatever.  However last evening and again this morning Pink, alias Syd Barrett approached me.  Last night he wanted to talk about Beatle songs.  I had a dream last night that was symbolic.  It was the idea that if the Lord says he has certain attributes such as riches or "inner peace" or love or what have you- - - if you were to look on some color coded "map" of emotions- - even if you saw only a small ammount of one color on the map you would be literally engulfed in that "asset' if you will.  Like is some crop map said "sugar" or "spinach" or "Wheat" you would expect to be engulfed in a sea of wheat fields as far as the eye could see.  You would not be lingering on stories of "I think I saw some wheat somewhere- - several years ago- - but now I'm not even sure".  There was this idea that if you HAVE a virtue or asset in your life- - you are surrounded on Four Sides in sort of an equallatteral triangle "tent" of this asset radiating out from four other sources at 120 degree increments.  Whatever you think is Within You is actually coming from Without and shining back on you.  I found this dream worth musing over.  Then when I awoke- - Pink approached me again.  And youall should listen up here because he said something I almost forgot and you may have never heard me say at all.  We were talking about Void jumping last week.  Some of your brighter bulbs out there might Rightly ask me, "Well, what insurance is there is you are jumping into or through the Void, as you described, what assurance is there you will come back in the Same Universe that you Departed From?  Syd Barret said "You DON'T have any positive assurance this won't happen.  Syd then went on to say that he learned things about me in a parrellel Universe- - and I got really paranoid the more he talked.  I asked for more details however- - and I grew a bit more assured because he actually with these additional details and explanations of step by step events- - made the whole scenario sound almost plausable.  But Syd Barret re-introduced a word that has kind of dropped out of my lexicon and that is "Gravimetric distortion".  The word has kind of a suspicious Star Trek ring to it.  Syd said there were occasionally "gravity storms " in Space and that these can interfear with porthole transfer- - - he said that gravemetric distortion - - - follow this- - is when "a body of mass" is drifting through the cosmos- - - and if entrance into this Force is more protracted than the Egress- - you will go back in time- - but if Egress is more protracted- - you will Advance in Time.  In conformity to what I had learned around 1987 - - the worst of these "distortions' last only three or four months.  He said the easiest way to think of it is that "free fall" thing we discussed last week.  If you Leave the gravity mass going faster than you began- - you go back in time - - but if you lose speed on the encounter- - then you go forward into the future.  There is a different type of distortion that involves jumping Universes - - some form of "lateral distortion".   But Pink said "It's so Dangerous - - that nobody would ever undertake to do it Deliberately".  I'll take his word for it.  Many times during our encounter I would say "But Mal Evans says - - " or "But Mal Evans always told me - - " and Pink seemed quite dismissive- - of any thing Mal Evans might have said.  "Just because Mal doesn't want to talk about it doesn't mean it isn't possible" Pink says.

Finally we get into Sirius A cryptic writing- - which basically is English made harder for natives to translate, though Romulan is also used in the same cryptic style.  First of all certain CR words are now KR such as Kryptic and Kronic and Kronological and Klout.  Next the X is the "CH" sound.  We already told you the Romulans did this, and why they do.  The F is now the "S" sound.  So any S word is now an F word.  And the F is now changed to an upside down V.  And the V itself- - - is substituted for a U.  And the W is substituted for the V.   Often the sort "San" on Spanish cities has the prefix FX, which is the S and the greek Chi letter.  (As in Holy Christ)  One more we forgot about was that the R is now a P, in Greek tradition.  Sometimes Romulans themselves spell R words with a P.  The P is kind of a hangman's nuce without the nuce.  There is a tall vertical line and a line to the right- - and a short jag down.  This is the new P.  It should be noted that the Reigelian alphabet looks a little bit like coinea Greek letters- - or in any case is "trans-litterable" into Roman letters.  The R in that alphabet is kind of a slightly curled P.   In terms of the whole DES RHO thing- - this is the designation of a people and also a letter scrambling code.  The designation goes only back about thirty years.  You guessed it- - Randy Rhodes, tragic death, who was Ozzy Osborne's lead guitarist for two legondary albums.  It's primarily a tribute to him.  Another feature of this Sirius A code of course is that it's all CAPS and there is no punctuation on it like the lyrics on "Imperial Bedroom" by Elvis Costello.  As you people should know- - - The Sirius A's picked up Semaphore code from Planet Earth in the late 1700's.  They learned it correctly but when they taught it to the Romulans the code got reversed and so the Romulans do everything backwards.  Since I learned it from the Romulans, I do it backwards, too.
