Nobody Believes In Me Anymore

I went to sleep last night - and I fell in the mattress crack

And I woke up in the morning and I had an aching back

Glory, Glory Hallaluyah!

Larry Miller Knows How To Do Ya!

“ - - - Breakfast with Scitzos – Take Two”    I just thought I’d throw that in.  You know Keith Green did that song “Nobody Believes in Me Any More”.  I’ve been reading a lot of that Lucifer Diary thing that Judy gave me yesterday.  You learn more about the mind set of the author than you’ll ever learn about Satan in books like this because as I have said before- in these “Satan” writings Christians do - - Satan seems to be the only person who practices perfect Christian theology and nobody else knows anything.  I was thinking how Judy said on the way down yesterday that she was kind of reminded of My prophecy book by this one because it’s kind of a “History of the World” type thing.  But if she thought my book was a little short on the grace of God- - well my book is a varitable “Family Buffet” snorgesborg is spirituality and redemption and Christian Salvation, compared to this book which is loveleess and humorless, and the protagonist obviously has a very low opinion of the human race.  It begins in the Garden of Eden where if Lucifer had used the same approach to me as he does in the book I would go to my wife and say “Laura, you can’t believe it but one of these animal forms in this garden actually Talks - - in words like we do.  But there is no sense of “communal connection” that we have with the animals.  This guy’s mind is a total wall.  I can’t Read him at all.  And he’s saying stuff like he knows more than we do, and even perports to know more than God.  Can you believe that?”   But I knew the book was completely bogus later on with the story of the Tower of Babel.  The Exorcist has nothing on this story.  In that movie a little girl is speaking at ten languages at once and we all said “it’s because she is demon possessed” but here Satan senses “a disturbance in the Force Field” or something and he can feel the Enemy’s creeping presence.  But these humans are all too dense and stupid to sense it.  They are going about their work with their pack mules and their building materials as though nothing is changed.  But then I noticed that they were having trouble relating essential things in going about their work and misunderstandings and arguments and strife were breaking out- - and it dawned on me that they could no longer physically understand each other.  God is a genious because he knows I don’t know any of these new languages that have descended upon them and so I can’t coordinate my troops for counter measures”.  It goes on from there to describe their abandoning their work and coming down.  But then storm clouds appear from out of nowhere and thig gigantic lightning bolt strikes the tower like some Cosmic 9 – 11 and the whole thing is destroyed and debris is shooting up into the sky and coming back raining down on the people as they flee, now in panic”.    My favorite chapter in the book is the one called “Fifty Wyons and a Puddy Tat”.  Not really.  But again Satan shows utter contempt for man’s desire for material goods.  And he condemns the Babylonian King’s drunkedness, and he is telling his demons that if Babylon falls it could be the worst thing that would ever happen.  Because the Pursians would be good for the Jewish people because they are monotheists.  Who would have guessed?  Satan is really a Zoroastrian!  I’m looking for the first hint where Satan is criticizing sex between a man and a woman.  Then we would know at last- - - Satan is just another faggot.  But it’s funny how Satan first has to work as possessing other animals like serpents but after a year of practice he finally mastered this ability.  But in order to posess another body he had to disabuse his mind of the Cosmic Truths he was born with.  And Satan says that “If one of us ever appeared - - as we are on the Other Side - - in the Earth realm it would be instant curtains for us because our whole intent would be instantly revealed to mankind and they would know Everything.   So now it’s Satan and not God who is withholding knowledge of the other world.  It goes on to talk about Jesus and John the Baptist and there was something about John on the Isle of Patmos in there in AD 95.  And Satan found the presence of Albert Einstein very upsetting as is letters on a chalk board E = MC squared would spell instant doom for Mankind.  So now Satan is depressed when Man learns the secrets of the Atom.  The book is downright confusing especially when it says “Mankind engages in too many religious wars.  Religious wars are bad for mankind because they promite strife and Intollerence”.  So I’m wondering does the author want us NOT to believe this or TO believe this?  Since the book was written in 2003 it knows nothing of Obama so he is not any lightning rod of concept like in the 2016 movie.  Satan appears really bothered in 1984 when he spreads the word that the Soviet Union will fall “in five years or in ten at the most”.  I’m wondering why the Fall of the Soviet Union is so upsetting to Satan because it robs the right wing politicians one more thing to complain about and get paranoid over.  There are no entries in the book at all during the Clinton administration.   I’m not sure what to make of that.  Does the author Like Clinton?  But then when it talks about Gulf War II in 2003 - - there is talk of the perils of “A peace imposed on the Mideast that hamstrings all of the nations and that nobody wants”.   I guess I’d like a definition of “Nobody”.  There is talk of the perils of one world government and human cooperation - - that I just don’t get.  Why does it bother Satan that humans cooperate?  Strangely - - just as we were signing in I turned to Judy and was about to admit to her “You know I was wrong about the Moslem Brotherhood.  I now see that you were right in being suspicious of all that “Arab Spring’ nonsense.  Clearly the statement released by the Obama administration this morning was correct.  The United States would sacrifice democracy for a Stable Nation that we could actually work with.”   And Judy turns around and in a complete reversal of what she told me just one year ago she now says that democracy in the Mideast is a great thing- - and that no dictatorship is good.  I mentioned the 1.6 Billion to Egypt as we were walking down the hall to Mom’s room and Judy goes on this rant about how the US can’t afford another penny to anybody now because we are broke.  The book ends with stuff about San Francisco- - and again Satan is overcome with a feeling of utter Doom before the Battle of Armageddon ever starts.  But Lucifer can feel rumblings in the ground and declares that his own destruction is just around the corner.  And then the end of the book has the angel Gabriel intervene and write in Lucifer’s diary- finishing it off- - speaking of events that are yet to come” and that’s how the book ends.   Of course as you know with my own book “God’s Winepress” the only other overt help I got with it was from Henry- - who helped out with the graphics on the cover.  But the book is quite a bit altered from the way it was originally conceived in early summer.  The basic idea Me and Mark had was "Sure the world is going to blow itself up or strangle from pollution but there are certain traits and weakness in the human race.  And if we can find and isolate those weaknesses, perhaps we can delay if not entirely prevent these dire things from coming to pass so soon.  You know- - there is an adage I'd like to coin "If you have to betray a friend and even your own conscience- - in some vain effort to please a distant God - - you shall not succeed."  Of course just as that Cousin Earl shadow hangs over my tale of the Protigal Son in mid 1991 with all of the sex orgies and pornography production - - so the shadow of Roger Waters looms over my book because I had just bought “The Wall” album (admittedly a bit late to the party) and stuff about “Walls” is frequently referred to.   Of course some ideas of Mark Campbell still remain.  Like the notion of betraying and selling out a friend.  I only wish I'd had the stones to quote the line from that Bob Dylan song "I believe the whole wide world is one big prison yard - some of us are Prisoners and some of us are guards".    You sell out a friend to please “The Man” or else the Prison Authorities or the Kremlin - - or in my case- - to please the non existant crouds of Born Again Christians clamoring to buy my book.  It is what I have referred to as the Obamatazation of my book.  That is- - in an endeavor for exceptance I have severly watered down our own convictions.   The writer of this Lucifer Diary is from England and is evidently a Ph D or something.  Go figure.  The dialog in this book is so bad- - - even as long at 35 years ago I had outgrown some of the verbal traps the writer falls into.  He seems to get lost in his own words- - and manages to so confuse us that whatever point there ever was to the thing is utterly lost.

I was just looking at the TV screen about all of those fireworks that exploded while right there on the ground firing rockets right into the crowds and people were running in panic.   There is a buyer’s panic in the Real Estate markets because thirty year mortgages have gone up a full percentage point from aboujt 3.3% to 4.4% and that’s the highest rates have been in years and years.  Of course if you really don’t want to spend all that money you can get a shorter term loan like a 15 or 20 year mortgage because short of an inverted interest rate curve, which we only have at the tops of inflation rate runs, usually longer term loans have higher rates.  However of course even at the same rate you’d end up paying out a lot less money, as my Mortgage BASIC program will quickly tell you.  Judy asked about common stocks as we were headed up  El Toro and I repeated that I think this economy and the stock markets still have a lot of gas left in them.  In a sugar coated way I indicated to her that if she weren’t such an anti Obama pessimist she would have invested in stocks four years ago and been a lot richer now.  But instead I couched it in terms of “People back then didn’t have a lot of money to invest like they do now, but those who did, got rich”. 

Highlights from Yesterday's outing:   They were of course dinking around with the floors and I was afraid I wouldn’t be able to get out of the building.  I left here just after ten fifteen.  I was successful in my quest to not turn the day into a political Donnybrook.  As we were driving up El Toro Judy did say that “I haven’t met a doctor who isn’t dreading the implementation of Obama Care”.   She called the cops on some Chicano lighting off bottle rockets in heavy street traffic.   Also while coming up El Toro Judy indicated that rates of blood pressure of 120 over 80 were unrealistic for doctors to expect of older people and these numbers are more typical of teenagers.  Gosh - - remind me to put the condom in my wallet right now.  Both Pete and I admitted to having a lot of allergy problems ans as we gazed out over the skies- we saw a whole lot of smog.  We signed in.  The physical look of the grounds has not changed in four years.  It struck me that Mom is looking more youthful and vibrant.  You can see it in her face, and even her hair isn’t as gray.  She’s also managed to lose a little weight.  Mom states that her blood pressure formerly 170 dropped to 150 to the 140’s to the 130’s and now is at 128.  I don’t know how she did it but if she could bottle it she’d be a rich woman.  The Consumer Reports magazines she saves for Alan - - they were cramming so MANY electronic devices in there I suspect they sacrificed detail of data.  Alan saves old Consumers Magazines because you’ll never know when you need to look up a product in an old one.  Alan and Marie are off on their first motorcycle trip together- - since her accident.  But now Marie just rides as a passenger because she’s still not confident (or strong?) enough to ride a bike all the way on her own.  They seem to like to visit North Carolina a lot.  This isn’t the time of year for it.  I weighed myself and was 154 before lunch and over 157 after lunch- - when I nudged the thing to exactly zero.  I don’t recall us being in the apartment that long before lunch- - but we ended up not getting our main plates till about twelve after noon.  That’s a long wait for this place.  I had cheese cake with really good strawberry sauce for desert.  We took the stairs up with me leading the way.  Then we talked about all of these Batchelor and Batchelorette shows, and Mom talked about their marriage- - and Pete peppered her with questions that weren’t exactly up to the “Dr. Laura” standard.   She lamented a little about Aunt Jo, and talked about that place in Fullerton they had their Income Taxes done right up to the year AFTER Dad died.  It was not quite 2:25 when we left taking the south way around the semi-circle.  I did not bring my camera.  It took us a full fifteen minutes to get to the Santa Ana Freeway which is pretty trippy.  But we stopped at Fashion Square, or whatever it’s called now - - Main Place.  Judy had lent me this novel called “The Lucifer Diaries” and I took the opportunity to read a good chunk of it while in the underground parking lot while Judy went into the store to exchange merchandise.  First Lucifer counts off in days in the Garden and it wasn’t till day 440 or something - - over a year- - he was able to bring Adam and Eve down.  The other years are counted off in sequence, much as the Jewish calendar does it.  She took twenty minutes.  I was reading about Adam and Eve in the Garden and there are a few interesting psychological insights in that Satan had to “figure out” just how to tempt Adam and Eve.

Stu Sutcliffe said that it was none other than John Bonnum that played drums on their version of "The God Who Failed", which was recorded in early 1995 but has the same lead singer who did "Sad But True" in January of 1994.  Stu said that he wanted Keith Relf to play guitar on that track but Keith said "He would be tied up for a few days".  I hope not literally.  Stu says he even considered having Me play guitar on that track.  Actually it's one song that would be within my capabilities.  Of course the song is distinct in that it begins with drumming - - and there is no bass guitar at all on the song- - by express order of Stu Sutcliffe.   In case you are wondering the song lyrics on both renditions are identical to the original.   Stu was the first to tell me that that Lucifer book was a lot of B S before I had come to the conclusion myself.  He also reminded me yesterday afternoon that of course the "Federation Take' on Bible History is rather altered, from what seems to be directly recorded in the Bible.

How About "Superman vs Ziggy Startust?"

First of all there is this fireworks vs guns thing.  Everybody knows it's Fireworks on the fourth and guns on New Years Eve.  There is this continued bullshit about how "Its a fact that bullets come down at twice the speed they went up because of gravity".  These Bozos on KTLK are obviously ingorant about the basic laws of physics and we have labored at explaining this whole thing before - - and pointed perhaps the difinitive example that illustrated the point to me in July of 1982 that bullets coming down travel at only a fraction of the speed they do when going up.  Maybe Zimmerman got an A in Stand Your Grand Law Enforcement, but I bet none of these bozos got an A in astrophysics.  I guess the joke going around this year is "How do you know if it's firecrackers or bullets?  And the answer is 'If there is a dog barking and suddenly the dog Stops barking- - then you know.  Yeah, you can't have those "troublesome dogs" like Trayvon Martin. We then come to the "Man of Steel" movie and since I don't "keep up" a lot of this stuff is new to me.  It seems that they have tried to bring the whole Superman saga up to date- - which is of course impossible, just as "up to date Christianity" is an oxy moronism.  It's like in Gilligan's Island there despite all the extensive radar instelations around Pearl Harbor they could not track one slow moving boat on a three hour tour.  And now you have this supposed Meteor attack- - when even a small meteor is like a nuclear bomb blast in Russia and makes the world headlines.  And somehow nobody sees the meteor land, according to the movie.  And then of course- - they have things like face recognition software but somehow they can't track that Clark Kent and Superman are the same person.  And apparently everybody in the government is an incompetent idiot, and Lois Lane has to save the day, and then the government tries to make some kind of a Edward Snowden out of her.  But apparently they are trying to "Christianize" Superman by distributing the film to Churches.  Hoy Ve!  Of course- - Clark Kent was registered under various aliases but never got a Social Security card for Employment.  And after Lois Lane breaks the story of the year- - she's still just a grunt assignment reporter who never got a promotion.  Right now they are doing the Top Ten Hit Parade as the biggest hick patriotic cities of America- - and most of these "winners" are the usual suspects. In terms of Barbie not being a "real woman" but just a doll, by the same argument you could say that a Saint in the religious sense is not a "real person" in a sense anyone would model their lives.

This is July 4, 2013 and so far we have been spared the snare drum and fithe stuff.   Maybe it’s just me but since 9 – 11 you have a lower odds of stumbling across usable 9 – 11 evidence a few months after the event, then you have of “tripping over’ this or that reference to veterans or what not now of “help the troops’ and patriotism up the wazoo, and there is almost any occasion where there seems to be an excuse for all of that.  My priority was to find a list of atrocities that “pushed the envelope” and violated precedent in terms of family harassment of me in late 1966 and using Google Desktop I finally found it.  You have to put “baby book” in quotes or else Google will think you are looking for the words “baby” and “book” in close proximity to each other.  It’s funny how people have different views on what “the past” is.  I discussed this in the last blog posting.  And by the way on a good day I’m still getting only about fifty hits per blog and that’s piss poor as far as ratings.  Vince says you can put out some cat video and get hits ranging in six figures before the week is out.  Great.  All I need to do is smuggle a cat in here.  Of course in my own writing in Word when I first got this computer- - there was an increasing depth of focus starting in about July first of 2004, and writing became much more focused as to the points I wanted to convey.  But even so when it came time to post blogs- - only about three files measured up to the now higher bar I had set.  These of course were “Hyacinth” and “Moon Shot’ in July and “Yorkshire” in August.  In the realm of coincidences - - things strike you such as the two completely fictional blond haired good looking boys who were “sons of mine’ in that “other life” I aledgedly would have had had I not committed suicide (April 1996) when Valerie S showed photos of her two sons they were the same general appearance and ages of the two sons I had pictured in my mind.  It’s also that there is an amazing and unexplained connection- - most of those Rock Album compilations - - were done in the period when I knew Valerie S.  That’s not to say she was beaming thoughts into my mind- - it’s just an interesting coincidence.  I would say the majority of these rock compilations were carried over whole onto Blogger in May of 2006, or occasionally with perhaps a few songs swapped out.  Sometimes when I do search out words in Google Desktop - - I find the passage all right, but I go on and read the rest of the file anyhow because now I’m curious about my whole “mind set” at a given period.  And people are not frozen.  They “change from day to day”, just like the Mc Cartney song goes.

So let’s talk about Stephanie Miller and the show they showed from “The Past”.  Like Bart Simpson - - sometimes “the past” can be a vague reference.  But in this case it’s only within the past several months, and I’m sorry I can’t pin it down any tighter than that.  It was during the era of the Jody Arius trial in Arizona and the whole thing in Cleveland with the women.  Marsha Clark was Stephanie’s guest, and if anyone understands the battered women sydrone, it’s Marsha (or anyone who has tasted Paula Dean’s southern cooking recipes)  Here is what I didn’t know.  If this case had been tried in Los Angeles they would not have even asked for the death penalty, but in Arizona they are more conservative and popular demand for it is a lot higher.  We learn that Jody Arius kept a journal where she “over shared” with sexual detail upon detail.  Maybe it’s just me but I’m one of those old fashioned people who believes that you cheapen the whole act of sex by talking about it too much.   This ‘over sharing” word was used a lot.  And occasionally pages would be ripped out of her journal she said “ were unflattering to my husband” when they just may have been ripped out because they were unflattering to her.  Unlike myself- - it seems some people write completely fictional journals about their day to day lives where none of the facts make any sense.  There seems to be a question whether she shot her husband and then stabbed him 29 times, or first she stabbed him 29 times and then shot him.  Stephanie argues that being smaller in build she first had to “take him down” before stabbing him.  But the coroner’s report seems to indicate there is almost no bleeding from the head wounds- - indicating he was already dead from all the stab wounds.  Then switching to the Cleveland case – Stephanie wants us to know that she would NOT consider Charles Ramsey husband material.  First of all he’s Black and second of all he has a record of domestic abuse himself.  I know they did a number of parody songs about Charles Ramsey that don’t do him justice.  Anybody who would go into a dangerous situation like he did has to be showing some stones.  Marsha agrees “He did the right thing” even with the risk.  It was agreed “There still are decent people in the world, who step up to the plate when the occasion calls for it, and they do the right thing.

We move on to the Supreme Court.  Apparently there were some eighteen cases the Court took up this year involving “Chamber of Commerce” or business verses consumer or issues involving the National Labor Relations Board and Labor Unions.  It used to be that these “Chamber of commerce” disputes would go just 43% on the side of pro business thirty years ago.  Then under William Reinquist the rate went up over fifty percent, and then it rose into the sixties and one tally lately was 69%.  But I’m thinking it’s got to be around 95% today because business never seems to lose a case now.  The Court is constantly eroding consumer’s rights.  There were “ten more rulings yet to come down” as of the time of this Broadcast.  I guess there are problems with cable companies ripping off consumers and defrauding them.  Ditto for the banks and credit card agencies.  I heard somebody say recently that the NLRB is virtually an extinct organization now because they have virtually no power left to protect workers’ right to join unions.  You see now why I suggested a ten year limited term for Supreme Court Justices.  Because three of those four Justices appointed by the Bush Boys- -  that is - - justices Roberts, Thomas, and Allito,  will go on making bad rulings for decades.  And we can’t do a thing about it.

I still need to download those pictures from my camera and to back up files to my portable disk drive, and also do all that stuff with directories.  My phone card is running low and I wouldn’t be surprised if there were less than twenty minutes on that card, and I plan to use most of that calling Mom today to ask about Saturday.  Last night I looked up Florida in that old atlas just to get my geographic bearings.  Randy said “anything north of Jupiter, Florida, you are getting into redneck territory”.  But I was never able to locate Jupiter.  Daytona Beach is way up north tword Jacksonville.  Gainsville isn’t really anywhere near Jacksonville, much as I had assumed from somewhere.  Again Gainsville is a recist place, and of course it’s the city of the University of Florida.  Sarasota Florida is way down in the southwest of the state.  Palm Beach is a considerable distance north of Ft Lauderdale.   I located Indian River - - and Okechobee - - and also Ociola Counties.  Camp Ociola is obviously that YMCA camp, and also the Indian brothers who were mistakenly shot by the sheriff in “Key Largo”.   Another thing I did last night was draw five, five pointed stars in paint just confirm the pentagon shape made in the center.  Last night it was ABC comedies and once again KNXT two crapped out on us, and I turned it to a program on KCOP.   But it was after nine and I smoked what I planned on being my last cigarette when Janet offered me a half of a patty melt sandwich, and a whole bunch of zucchini, and a diet Coke, which I age outside.  Then she offered Bill a BBQ beef sandwich, and a Coke, and more zucchini.  In this case I had to get out of bed and pull on my pants before I could even answer the door.  Bill said he didn’t want the zucchini so I ate a few more pieces- - and went back to bed and left all the rest in the big box just to get cold and clammy overnight.  

B-L-A-S-T - - FROM 2 0 1 0

There are about four ways in which harassment from Allan and Pete cross lines formerly sacrosanct and ventured into new territory.  The first was Pete moaning about how I got a guitar for Christmas and Pete didn’t think I deserved that.  This topic is discussed more in “birthday”   Then there is that “Christmas gift” from Alan and Pete in Christmas 1966 where stuff was taken from the third drawer of my desk from grammar school and had a bunch of glittery stuff stuck all over it.  The next was the “at the water’s edge” rule.  We went to the Peckenpas on Newyears Eve and they extended their little harassment and insult session into that gathering saying stuff like “I didn’t call you a retard.  Only a retard would think I called him a retard when I didn’t”.  There was some deal made not to insult me that they had violated.   Finally we have the marking up of the baby book changing dates and putting in other weird stuff.  This is a personal attack.  Of course prior to all these things we have the famous “tape erasure ruling” of November 23^rd.  I discuss this edict of Dad’s in the “Salvage” file.  Also what was different is that come the fall of 1966 (if was after the New Mexico trip as I recall) Allan and Pete were now working together.  Allan was no longer the lone wolf.  Perhaps in August 1966 there was some minor evidence of this, too.  Then we have the whole Adler thing which is referenced higher up in this file, and also elsewhere.  And finally you have Dad’s statements about me at the March 31^st 1967 meeting.   And again I really did not focus in on these specific issues with my therapy sessions with Eileen, or any other time.

Denise brought the laundry back and it’s all spread out.  Everything is there - - OK including the list.  I went out and got coffee from Dora and had seconds.

Thom Hartman doesn’t seem to be that interesting today.  Except he said that the CIA has roots with the Nazi party because the US recruited Nazis for the OSS after the War because of Germany’s excellent intelligence gathering capabilities.

The Slate Can't Be Wiped Clean

Things are so out of whack in the South and in places in the Midwest, that perhaps it is “The Left Coast” as Rush Limbaugh referred to us as long as twenty years ago, that should secede from the Union.  You have Washington, Oregon, and California, and you might add to that Nevada since their economy is so closely linked in with ours, particularly in the Lake Tahoe area.  And you could throw in Hawaii in there too.  We could have a constitution after our own desires and you could guarantee in that constitution the right to gay marriage, if you wanted to.  And you could right in a “declining percent filibuster” rule.  That is have a filibuster start off at 65% and then every month or so after that- make it four weeks - - it would drop by five percent so that by the fourth interval- - you’d be back down to your bare 51% majority to pass.  And you could write in fourth amendment protections against internet surveillance by the government without the most stringent means of obtaining a warrant- and not in some Secret Court that’s basically a rubber stamp.  You could have the legislative bodies pass a resolution saying that George Bush was guilty of all of those 35 Points of Impeachment enumerated in 2006.  I have an idea for the flag.  You could have five big stars in a circle with the points almost touching, so it forms a symmetrical design in the center of the five.  The stars would be white, on a navy blue field just as now.  You would feature five green stripes- - alternated with - - how about a light blue instead of white for the white stripes, so that you would have a total of just nine stripes. I would just keep the House seats apportioned as the way they are right now.  I think I would have just a thirty seat senate- -  and apportion it by population perhaps in a symmetrical declining numbering system like California with ten,  Washington with eight, Oregon with six,  Nevada with four and Hawaii with two senators.   I would make Supreme Court Appointments for ten years with a mandatory stepping down after that Decade of service.  I would enact a constitutional ban on committing troops into any War situation for a longer period than sixty days without an official congressional declaration of War.  And I would also stipulate that any drog that was banned by the Food & Drug Administration could be overridden by a popular vote.  And needless to say I would set a much higher bar for anyone who’d be an election official.

This is Wednesday afternoon July 3, 2013.  Sanford, Florida is a disgustingly bigoted place, and I'm ashamed a city with such a long, bigoted history is even a part of America.  The people of Sanford were so insensed when Jackie Robinson and the Dodger farm team practiced there in the late 'forties, the people of the town wanted to ride the mayor of the town out on a rail, for allowing it.  This isn't the first time the taker of an innocent Black life will probably get off, and my guess it won't be the last, either.  Trayvon’s family sued the home owner’s association because Neighborhood Watch people are strictly forbidden to carry a gun while on patrol.  Their one function is to report and call in.  We don’t know what the settlement with the Martin family was because it was a sealed verdict.  Now we have other lies.  Apparently Zimmerman and his attorney, who is a first rate buffoon, were on the Sean Hannity show and they both said that Zimmerman knew nothing of the “stand your ground” law.  Zimmerman not only took a class in that but the teacher gave him an “A” and remembers him as one of his more promising students.  But now they don’t want that testimony admitted unless they also reveal the fact that Trayvon smoked marijuana, as if the two were connected in the least.  Yesterday one Black caller was telling about the time he was in a phone booth and some seedy old lady (?) kept walking past him in a trench coat and she was sticking her hands in the pockets and kept saying “Nigger, Nigger!” trying to goad him.  But the guy on the phone thought ahead and figured if he engaged the old lady at all, she could shoot him and claim self defense.  Here is a really strange one.  This guy waterskiing on Lake Mead- - was “moving his jet skis a few feet” and these National Park officers order the guy to come with them.  He’s in his swim trunks and barefoot and stumbling on rocks having trouble keeping up.  At some point he asks what he’s being charged with and they argue with him but tell him nothing and Taze him in the neck.  He has a bodily spasm and kicks one of them and they write that down too.  Then they stick him in some cage.  So far the onlookers are with the water skier, but then- these Rangers call the superviser and to keep from looking petty and to justify himself, they make up a bunch of lies about him.  He is shipped to jail thirty miles away- to spend the three day weekend.  Getting back to Zimmerman- - he does not take that gun to work but he takes it every place else.  And he keeps it cocked and ready to go.  They asked one officer whether there was a robbery problem in the housing complex, and the authorities said “No there weren’t”.  This was another Zimmerman lie.  Randy Rhodes and a caller agree that the negroes (pardon my French) in the town won’t riot because they don’t want to all be shot.  But Blacks in Miami, where Trayvon is originally from – they will riot.  Zimmerman keeps referring to Martin as “The suspect”.  There is no DNA of GZ on Trayvon’s hands, and also there are no finger prints on Zimmerman’s gun or his holster or anything.  Randy believes that Trayvon pounched him once and he fell- - perhaps one of those “fake falls” like a “flopper” in basketball- - and his head hit the concrete once, but after this the heavier Zimmerman overpowered the lighter Martin- - and tortured him till he finally shot him.  The trouble is that the media is portraying the Prosecution’s case as “falling apart” and of course right wingers all around the country are probably eating that up- because it’s bolstering their beliefs.  Zimmerman was asked if he had any regrets or would do something any differently and Zimmerman said that he wouldn’t, and he also said that Trayvon’s death was “God’s will”.  Do you know how disgusting this remark is?  Zimmerman is a died in the wool sociopath and I seldom say this but from what I see he's never going to change.  If he gets freed from this crime he'll go right out and do it again.  It's like that Sherrels song about "I still love him" and the response is "No you don't it's just your Pride that's hurt" and when she insists that she still loves him the response comes "If you got him back again you'd go right out and do him dirt".

The Army tonight in Egypt announced that President Moricy is out and the people cheered, because basically Egypt isn't an Islamic nation, with or without Sheria Law.  Clearly President Obama was duped about the entire nature of the Moslem Brotherhood eighteen months ago.  Now all the President can do is to say that he stands by decisions the United States government has made in the past.  To him, it's safer to hide his head in the sand, then to wake up and smell the coffee.  It was Moe and that Mexican lady and talk about KTLA news.   And again I like Randy’s show a lot better than most of these nine to twelve concoctions.  Today really isn’t much of a news day aside from the Florida trial.  Oh the President was "really ticked off and- - This Time - - he's really going to do something".  Yeah- - just like Jack Deverox Jr's mother keeps saying she's going to "do something" but when push comes to shove she never does.  Syria isn't any safer now than it was a year ago.  Quite the opposite is true.  But it's a case of "Throwing a war and nobody shows up" or something.  The American people don't want another War, and I really can't blame them for that.  So nothing is doing in the rest of the world as our Media sees it.  Yeah, there is the Egypt thing and all and maybe the President has stepped down and maybe he hasn’t and the United States has evolved such a head in the sand philosophy lately- - we wouldn’t care of WW III broke out abroad. But President Obama has pretty much been "phoning it in" anyhow.  As I said in a recent post, the President pumps everybody full of sunshine like he did in his book, but when push comes to shove basically he's full of hot air.  He'll leave office never accomplishing another thing and he'll just be tickled pink that he'll go down in the History books as the first Black man to be elected President.

There was a 28 year old school teacher who got pregnant by a sixteen year old HS student, and I guess one might say, “What’s the problem?”  My only stipulation is that she not saddle the sixteen year old with child support payments.  The city of Fullerton has legalized fireworks this year for the first time.  They are only allowed to sell fireworks for four days, and they are only allowed to discharge them “between the hours of ten AM and ten PM, on July 4^th.  And I think we told you that Pope Benedict may have resigned because some famous gossip magazine- - was just about to reveal the identity of Benedict’s boyfriend.  If nothing else it’s pushing the envelope of things it’s even acceptable to say or not say about the Papacy.

There are times when merely “Wiping the Slate Clean” will not work.  Last night I decided to turn to “House” since two japed out on us with other programming.  Here you have this crack head or whatever House is now- - proposing the most bizarre of procedures to cure a “heart condition”.  He says that anti depressents won’t work because “They only increase the threat of heart attacks”.  I sure never heard that one.  This guy’s memories of a girl were threatening his health so they decided to use electro-shock and “Crank the juice up to eleven” and fry his whole brain wiping out ALL of his personal memories.  The trouble is perhaps some Christians would love to “wipe the slate clean” with people- - yet they forget the adage about pigs and dogs.  A dog will return to his own vomit, and a pig will return to wallowing in the mud, no matter how squeaky clean he once was.  If you have a person who is surrounded by jerks perhaps at his employment- - they’re going to continue to be Jerks after the guy has had a memory wipe.  He’s just “going to learn all over again” that these people he works with ARE jerks but meanwhile he’s forgotten his “coping mechanisms’ to deal with them.  We all have learned coping mechanisms to deal with things we can’t change.  And I’m looking for the first one of those jackasses to go “Why are you antagonistic to us- - are you holding a grudge against us- - I thought you forgave us?”   And the guy will respond “Forgave You?  I have no memory of Forgiving anybody- - because my brain was fried last week and I don’t remember anything.”  Or if you want a more dramatic example how about the case in “Black Like Me’ where the white guy had to “learn what it was like to be a Negro”.  This is what people forget.  Just because you have no memory of the past doesn’t turn you into a Superman who can deal with anything.  Of course in this episode this lady doctor purgered herself to get House off serious charges.  Personally if I were the judge and the lady said what she did I’d say “I don’t care.  His name is on the prescription form- - and in this court we go on evidence, not pleas from a friend desperate to save someone from the consequences of their own actions”.   At ten I went to bed.

If you read any Math book you will hear how probabilities and the laws of chance work themselves out with astonishing regularity.  Indeed you can predict whether certain statistics are Kosher or not merely by seeing if they comport with the laws of change per sample size and all of that.  However it doesn't happen EVERY time.  For instance I have done stuff on Beatle songs and I won't cover them all.  You have Strawberry Fields being an actual strawberry field that I used to walk past on the way to school.  You have the line about passing "The old school - - nothing is changed" because I used to see the school every time we'd pass along a common road.  You have the "pouring rain" reffered to in Penny Lane- - and this was a very rainy winter punctuated by blue skies.  You have the sound effect of the egg sorting machine at my grandfather's ranch.  You have "Dr Robert" associated with a dental visit that went rather well.  You have "She Said She Said" associated with a fairly lengthly conversation with a guidance counselor at the end of my Sophomore year that did not go at all well.  You have the association with "The Word" with increased Church activity starting in September of 1965.  You have the legondary death in their car of John Sneed and Ron Diggins who raced a train and lost.  You have my meeting Kathy Imperiali and going out on a date.  Of course the Beatles admit to certain items in songs.  Like there really was a Blue Jay Way - - and the Meter Maids were real.  And even the Beatles got paranoid about being copied.  John Lennon got paranoid about an obscure Dylan song on "Blond on Blond" being a rip-off or Norwegian Wood.  And so Mc Cartney returns the favor by ripping of another song from the Blond on Blond album "I Want You" only to change things up a bit he does the song from the point of view of the woman.  And I am not the only one to note coincidences seemingly way above the odds of probability.  There are countless examples in books about the lives of Psychics, and there are are a whole lot of stories about events involving Twins.  We have told you about the four "Movements' of statistical data, or perhaps that's "Moment".  I'm not positive.   We told you that standard statistics has a normal 'Kurtosis" at a three, and I would prefer it perfer it more around 2.4 - - but I'll to a statesman like compromise and put it at the Golden Mean plus ONE , which would be 2.618034.   There is some rather obscene imigry for stats with two high a kurtosis.  Think of feminists and "penis envy".  But since this is a family show- - - then a lot of tea paggers must be guilty of this same "feminine' Penis Envy because they too skew tests to generate an abnormally High kurtosis number.  On the other hand- - results with too Low a kurtosis- - most likely is due to either "under sampling" or else "under thinking" questions.  If you're a Cop one thing you know is to ask ALL of the right questions to be able to filter out wrong suspects and bag the right ones.  We told you how people on "Deal or No Deal" routinely screw themselves on the law of cumulitive probabilities.  Certain behaviors get reinforced.  For instance I would not continue to believe in Astrology- - - if regular "pay-offs" didn't keep coming.  Even Dr. Phil can understand that one.  Too few people have the discipline in order to keep anything but a Tiny number of facts in their mind at one time.  As such they would be horrible at either chess or bridge.  (and no- I don't play bridge, but I've talked to people who have)  Economics is an area where it is an asset to keep a large store of knowledge between the ears at all times in order to be able to act when called on.  Suck skills are also an asset in other jobs- - like being a high ranking Military Officer.  The trouble today is that nobody respects intelligence.  It's perhaps the worst epidemic of ignorance and prejudice worship in our nation's history.  People think we were actually Founded as "A Christian Nation".  If they look at the Evidence they glean immediately that the opposite is true.  One person defending the "radical departure of tradition" that Gay Marriage is- - noted that the very Founding Fathers, whom the tea party perports to worship - - they themselves made a "Radical Departure' from everything that went before.  Prior to this most governments were either Monarchies or Theocracies.  But these right wingers lie about everything.  They claim that Christians ended Slavery- - yet they condemn what they refer to "Liberation Theology" which is the practical application of it   They claim that Science as we know it would not be Possible without the Protestant Reformers such as- - Martin Luther, John Calvin, Charles Whesley, John Knox, or what have you.  I don't see how they can get away with saying that we "Owe the renasance to Protestantism".   Jesus spoke about these people two thousand years ago.  He says "you white wash the graves of the prophets keeping them clean and neat and you say "If we have lived back then we would not have mistreated them like that".  But Jesus goes on adeptly in saying "You hypocrites!  Go on and finish up the work your forebearers started!"  (Selah)

More Meaty Low-down on the Zimmerman Case

There are new developments in the Trayvon Martin trial today that at least I didn’t know.  Zimmerman claims that Martin was looking in everybody’s window and darting in and out from behind bushes and that Martin was “circling his car”.  He also stipulates that Martin bashed his head into the concrete “a couple of dozen times” and that he landed many punches on Zimmerman.  And apparently Martin straddled Zimmerman so that his arms were pinned back by his legs straddling him just below the arm pits.  One wonders, short of a strange anatomical build- - how Zimmerman could have gone for his gun.  One caller stated that you had to cock the gun first so that Zimmerman had to be prepared to fire.  According to Zimmerman in addition to having one hand over his nose and another around his throat,  he was holding a suspicious object with another hand, and with the other hand he was reaching for Zimmerman’s gun.  That’s an awful lot of hands.  But there is more.  It was the arresting officer who prompted Zimmerman to say that it was him screaming on the 9 – 11 tape.  He said “That’s you right there screaming”.  And Zimmerman’s response was “That doesn’t even sound like me”.  The medical examiner testified that Zimmerman had absolutely no head wounds consistent with anything Zimmerman stated was the case.  There were no “lacerations” and no wounds longer than a half a centimeter.  But I’m wondering whether we don’t have an exact parallel of the OJ jury in which they are bored by actual physical or medical evidence.  All they know is that “They want to even the score” and vote one for their race.  This theory will be pretty much confirmed if the jury takes only a short time to deliberate and render their verdict.  Because if they actually discussed this case the way they are supposed to they just might figure a few things out.  Keep in mind Zimmerman was not regarded as a suspect by the cops the same way that OJ was treated oh so deserentially when he was questioned about the crime for a mere forty minutes- if not less.  The way I hear it- - OJ was very polite and corgial to the police, and the police were corgial and thanked OJ for coming in.  Also Zimmerman was caught in another lie.  He told authorities that the 9 – 11 operator told him to “get to a certain location and see what was going on”.  There is no tape evidence of this.  Also Zimmerman apparently lied when he said "After I shot him I wasn't sure he was dead so I spread him out on his stomach with his arms spread out cop style".  But when the body was found the arms were tucked underneathe his chest.  To butress the Defence's argument that the Prosecution is inconsistent - someone said "We know the Prosecution isn't telling the Truth because one caller on the Randy Rhodes show lied about the exact wording of the line "We don't need you to follow him".  Too bad no callers to the Randy Rhodes show gave sworn testimony in this trial.

It would seem that Arab "Summer" follows the Arab "Spring", at least the one that occurred in early February of 2011 or something- - which is when Mubarek of Egypt fell.  Now the current President's days ruling that country are numbered and he's slated to step down today.  Accronis has begun doing it's thing, not to interrupt myself or anything.  But after this current President of Egypt steps down they say that the country will be plunged into Military chaos.  I haven't heard the tea party take on all this yet, but I imagine they'll manage to blame President Obama for it somehow.  It could well be that the military will just appoint another figure head president.  This is the most fortunate outcome we could hope for at this point.  The United States is officially remaining neutral.  Previously the Obama administration threatened to yank all those Millions we give Egypt every year, but now it appears the President is backing down.  (yet again)  Morrisy has been backed by the Moslem Brotherhood.  Now they are saying that the Military wants to dissolve the parleament entirely.  "Tomorrow we'll have a new leader".

Edward Snowden is as it were "snowed in" Moscow's airport.  It seems he's been applying for assylum to whole host of countries in the world, all of which have turned his down.  Some 29 of them have turned him down.  He's like an applicant vying to get into a prestigious college.  On the Mc Laughlin group there was a concencus that "We'll get him" and I hope we do because it will boost President Obama's numbers in the public oppinion polls.  Though given the way the Tea Party spins the news- - who can say?

Evers’ civil rights leadership and investigative work made him a target of white supremacists. In the weeks leading up to his death, the hostility directed towards him grew. His public investigations into the murder of Emmett Till and his vocal support of Clyde Kennard had made him a prominent black leader. On May 28, 1963, a Molotov cocktail was thrown into the carport of his home.^[19] On June 7, 1963, Evers was nearly run down by a car after he emerged from the Jackson NAACP office.^[13]     In the early morning of June 12, 1963, just hours after President John F. Kennedy's speech on national television in support of civil rights, Evers pulled into his driveway after returning from a meeting with NAACP lawyers. Emerging from his car and carrying NAACP T-shirts that read "Jim Crow Must Go," Evers was struck in the back with a bullet fired from an Enfield 1917 rifle; it ricocheted into his home. He staggered 9 meters (30 feet) before collapsing. He died at a local hospital 50 minutes later.^[20]    Mourned nationally, Evers was buried on June 19 in Arlington National Cemetery, where he received full military honors before a crowd of more than 3,000.^[14]  On June 21, 1963, Byron De La Beckwith, a fertilizer salesman and member of the White Citizens' Council (and later of the Ku Klux Klan), was arrested for Evers' murder.^[21] 

There have been other suspicious murders.  For instance Vince Foster is still a major question mark in my mind.  At the time there seemed to be extensive evidence it wasn't suicide.  The suicide note he left itself was suspicious because of the Wording of it, and a linguist or a forensic psychologist would have a field day.  Also there is a question mark as to the positioning of the body, or that the gun was still clutched in Fosters hand after he died.  People are pointing to some kind of a post mortum muscle spasm.  Then of course we have Marylin Monroe, who people was suspect was rubbed out by the Mob to shut her up because Robert Kennedy was sharing too many inside secrets with her.  Tomorrow is the 44th anniversary of the "Death by Misadventure" in the year 1969 of Brian Jones in his swimming pool.  On that July 3rd night it's alleged that the temperature of the water was cranked up suspiciously high to lull him into lethargy.  And he was under the influence and some say that people prevented him from exiting the pool but kept pushing him back into the water and he eventually passed out from exhaustion. 

Here is the latest roomer on why Pope Benedict XIV really stepped down from the office of Pontiff.  It's because Benedict had a male lover and he was about to go public with the affair.  Some Magazine just published an article about this but now I forget the name of it.  It was one of the common ones, and perhaps you have already read this article.  John Paul II is getting closer to becomming a Saint.  I've heard the roomers for years that the Church wants to "fast track" Sainthood for this Pope.

If anybody has trouble finding that line about " - - and you will see the Son of Man coming with clouds and great glory"- - Jesus says it to the Priests at his trial when they ask him if he is the Messiah.  Not to put too fine of a point on it but in another place Jesus is addressing his desciples and says to them, "There are some standing here that will see the son of man coming in Glory.   And the apostle Paul uses the word "We" to describe "being caught up to meet Jesus in the air".  Sorry, rationalizers.  You can't get around this one that easily.

Yesterday Antonio Viragosa turned over the reins of mayoral power to Eric Garsetti, which is a vaguely Latin name also, but it’s more Italian.  The new mayor in a speech promised a new era of openness and “meeting with the people of LA”  Gay marriages are continuing.  The proposition eight people made one last desperate ploy to the Court for another “stay” but they didn’t get it.  Now I imagine the wedding planners will be working overtime.  But it will pay the dividend of bring more tax revenue to the State.   However I would remind Judy not to get too upset because this whole thing may be just another fad that will spend itself soon.  We are informed now that there are as many Latinos in California as there are White people, which I find almost impossible to believe.  Each comprises 39% of the population.  My understanding previously was that Whites were at 51% or so now and in danger of soon losing status.

Samantha Brady was not charged in the grand jury investigation after hearing Sammy’s personal testimony.  The cop widow is not at all happy about is and is vowing revenge.  But strangely Adrian doesn’t seem too happy about it either, even though it means a victory in court for her husband.  Christine’s and Samantha’s I Pads got mixed up, which could prove extremely embarrassing.  Nick Fallon offered Kate the next installment of his secret formula that Sammy and EJ know nothing about, but instead of being grateful she refused him.  It was pretty much of a total snub- with thrown in insults.  Nick has now gotten around to making talk of divorce with Gabriel official saying it’s on grounds of emotional fraud that even the Catholic Church would understand.  Meanwhile Will and Gabriel have had their first marital spat, of sorts.  I went down for Money Draw that Jennifer is still in charge of, just to drop off my check.  I did not ask for any money this week.  Wally let me go ahead of him, and the line was pretty non existent this week.  I hope Bill is getting paid now.  I went for just one cup of coffee from Laura.  I took two pieces of candy but it wasn’t until three that I went to the store to buy a pack of John Black grape and a baby blue lighter.
