SEXY and ASLEEP . . . SHOULD I TAKE ADVANTAGE?

Not quite bedroom eyes, or bed hair, but close enough--I wondered where James Kennedy was all night, missing in action at the Butte Rescue Mission, all day, and into the night, failing to check in.  I don't stalk, track, or follow my prey, LOL, but I do like to keep tabs on him, and miss him when he is not there, at least to share dinner, or watch as he walks, rather shuffles, now days, on crutches, across the mess hall at the Mission.  I didn't see him at breakfast, check in or later.  The last I saw him, he was sitting next to me at dinner, and acting very bummed out about his leg, said it was kicking his ass . . . the one that got shot or broken, when he slipped on the ice--he blacked out, so, I am not sure he knows what happened.  Again this is one of those, too bizarre to believe stories, but taken in the context of my life for the last few years, and given the obvious, attraction, whether we speak or not, it is in the air, and not hard to detect, even if Nick is not here to make heart shapes, from across the dining room, when he sees us together.  Some couples try hard to show their passion for each other, kissing and doing all kinds of PDA, public display of affection, but we are about the opposite, a look, and brush of the hand, a peace sign, a smile, not much and not obvious, especially, since he got shot, that is my call, a threat of murder . . . and a brave heart for hanging in here.  Many a man, who has been attracted, with much less to scare them away, will run, leave, avoid, once they see, that I am serious when I say that four men I have liked in the last few years, have ended up dead.

With me, it is enter as your own risk.  He asked me the other night, sore, from the last time I left, without telling him, that I was leaving, why I left without telling him, a bit, more cautious with me, than he had been the first time he met me, a typical guy on the hunt, the pick up lines, and all.  I think he realizes he is playing in a different league, a dangerous one, and may not come out of this one alive.  I told him, that I knew, last time, before leaving, that the signs, were evident to me, that he was in danger, and once again, I get punished for, doing what . . . hurting powerful men, the keeper of hearts, the payback for leaving them, or just what, but they are intent on making sure that I never enjoy love again, if they have any say.  This is a lover's triangle of majestic proportions, going way beyond the love of a man and a woman, but the love of professions, loyalties, allies, enemies, and a 20 year cold war, taking one of their warriors, is forbidden; therefore, to violate their trust, is to die.  Amazing but true.  The stakes are high, the risk high, a zero sum game if you will, that I am in, whether I want to be or not, just the way it is.  So, I don't take it lightly, when I see, James sleeping, at the bus station, maybe leaving, for good, tired of this tragic game, that may never be a win/win, but just a continuation of more misery, for both heart, mind and body.

Perfectly Parsed Lips . . . Come Closer

At first, when I saw James, casually, reclined in the chair, head against the wall, definitely deep in sleep, probably out all night, like an alley cat, on the prowl, tired from whatever the hunt was last night, an easy score with seedy women, tattooed and pierced, or a bottle of Jack Daniels, his mind was not on the Mission or me, which is fine, given the situation, easier catches are to be had, but I was going to walk up to him, like a friend would and kick his feet, like a library cop does in the Salt Lake library, when patrons fall asleep.  He looked so peaceful, I just smiled and looked over at Sandra, who is joining me on my morning ride around the valley to watch the sleepy town wake from the night thrills of Friday night . . . she is Native, and she, being a quiet restful soul, seemed to smile in understanding, that it was best to let him sleep.  After a pit stop in the restroom, I decided to gently, push him to wake, to make sure he wasn't leaving town, like he has indicated were his desires for the last week.  

I approached him, put my hand softly, on his arm, crossed behind his head, that was leaning on his hands, against the wall, with his head back, eyes closed, but his mouth, his mouth, so perfectly formed for a kiss, just a small opening, like pink silk, soft and subtle, as I moved nearer, to feel his breath on my face and mouth, caught the beauty of the man, with a more peaceful look than when awake, relaxed, at easy, calm, and the creases and wrinkles, on his face, all but gone.  I was just inches away, and my hand on his arm, seemed to make little difference, and he didn't seem to notice it, but the proximity of our lips, faces, and my eyes on him, gave me a rare, moment to get a closer look, at this man, who is usually, on the run, in and out, getting coffee, going for a smoke, heading this way or that, checking on his tramp camp, biker haven.  So, to see him still, quiet, and peaceful was a blessed moment, and a chance to get a good look at him, up close and personal.  The real thoughts of the moment, didn't really come to me, until after I decided to leave him to his dreams, his rare peace, and a drunk like state of sleep, after an obviously active night.

As I crossed the room, to join Sandra on the benches waiting for the morning bus, I picked up a magazine, with a woman, with my coloring, blonde hair, blue eyes, and pink lips, and on the cover it said, Come Closer . . . I was somewhat taken back by the title of the magazine.  The thought came to mind, and the access to the kiss, that perhaps, he was more awake than I thought.  Did he see me, through the cracks of his eyes, come close enough to feel his breath, on my face, almost close enough to kiss?  Who knows, but that message and the solidifying thoughts of his lips, so accessible, I almost regretted not just almost unnoticed by him, pressed my lips against his, and tasted of his essence, without the threat, the fear, the game, the should's and should not's of whatever we are in.  I worried about the surveillance tapes that would be running across the lobby, did they catch the feeling, the draw, the pull, the temptation, or did they just record, a woman, trying to wake a man, a feeble attempt at best?  The picture of his perfect lips, are with me hours later, a lifetime later, ummmmmm, never notice little thing like that much, but I did today.  Generally, I would say, whatever, but not today.  With him on my mind . . .

I Picked a Bad Time to Be In Love, a Bad Time to Be in Love

I just did a pit stop, and this was the oldies, moldies song on the radio, and what song could be more appropriate?  I swear . . . as I struggled yesterday, in fact for two days, to get an online application, for a legal counsel position, at Montana State University, off, with tons of interference, hackers, erasing my cover letter and letter of intent, twice, and tried to stop the third edition of the cover letter, saying there was "0" bytes, to email, even from being attached through email, interference that is a common thing, since, I am suppose to be dead, and how do you explain, someone you may have known for years, the fraud, juxtaposed against the real person, with all the experience, passion, connection, and relativity to the jobs, that the fake had only claimed to have, but never earned.  That has got to be a terrifying thing for the fake bitches, who have stolen, not only may name and identity, but everything that entails.  So, what the future holds, who knows, and James?  I am sure he doesn't trust me, after taking off last time, although, in silence, he seemed to understand and get the implications of what had happened and why I did it . . . not intending to hurt, but intending to preserve, thus the warning.  Scary shit, to say the least.

Anyway, after the bus ride this morning and tripping out around the valley, thinking of waiting lips, sexy face, and very relaxed body, the driver, answered my friends, questions about Our Lady of the Rockies, trying to dispel, at least my misconceptions of what brought the monument on the mountain.  I had heard three different versions, of the creation, of the statue.  She told us that there was a film at the Our Lady's Shop at the Butte Mall, that should answer all our questions . . . way cool!  So, after the ride, I had her drop me off at the Mall, and immediately went to the shop, to see what took place back in 1985.  After seeing the film, crying all the way through it, my vision of community, society, the world, coming together in this effort, of loving arms of a mother, bringing the feeling in the community of being a family, encircled in the arms of love, just was too much for me to take, and I succumbed to crying alone, since, I was the only one in the small theater, showing the video of the raising of the monument . . . and wow, was it inspiring, especially, knowing some of the struggles this town has had, after the mines closed down, going from one of the hottest places in the country, to barely surviving, this was a testament to the people of Butte, the tenacious spirit, and the drive, in spite of sickness, limits, and struggles, they seemed to pull of an engineering feat, that marvels many to this day, using the skills and know how of the miners, to erect this 90 feet plus monument to women, mothers, from around the world, a rare recognition, for sure.  I told the bus driver, that I had had 4 husbands, and I don't think that one of them liked me half enough to erect a monument to me!  LOL!

The Fight in the Irish Made This Happen!  LOL!

I have read in the local newspaper, hints at the political atmosphere of the locals, that everything is a fight, and the bus driver, eluded or rather just point blank said, the people in this town, fight over everything . . . I am nor sure of the context of the conversation, but it reminded me of some of the things I have read, people on the county commission or the city council, asking that people just try to work together, and get along, so they could sincerely serve the people, rather than spend all their time fighting over the issues, rather than working together to get the problems solved, and issues handled.  But, as I watch the film, which started with a man, who loved his wife, who had a terminal illness, and he wanted to inspire her to fight for life, and promised her that if she would fight and live, he would erect some type of statue for her . . . he envisioned, a statue about 5 feet high, and placing it somewhere, either on his property, or up on a hill.  So, how this thing exploded from that to the 90 statue, that stands higher than Lady Liberty, gracing the New York harbors, I don't know, other than, being pissed off at the nay sayer's, who scoffed at the thoughts of such an effort.

The husband, started talking and he had a small, statue of a lady, who looked much like the Mother Mary, with her hands stretched out, and the more people looked at it, the more, they thought that might serve as a model for the Lady of the Rockies.  But as one town member donated $2,000, another would donate $1,000, and finally, somehow, the pushers of the project, found a family who owned some property up on the mountain, near the Continental Divide, who took little more than an afternoon to decide to donate the property to the cool project.  Again, I am not sure, but this evolving effort, turned from one husband's love for his wife, to a memorial to all women, inspired by the Virgin Mary, and growing to include all the women of the earth, so cool, since there are few, such statues to women, anywhere in the world.  And what was even cooler to me, was the fact, that the men, just kind of all pitched in, volunteered their time, efforts and equipment, bound and determined to see this project through!  The women had to sacrifice the time without their husbands, but this thing just took shape, as one man, the sculptor, who had never done something like this before, said, it was as if Heavenly hands took over and he was just a tool, in the hands of divinity, creating this monument to women, worldwide!

Much Like the Statue of David, Michael Angelo, Said David Was Already There, He Just Was the Tool to Unveil Him to the World

How do you look at a piece of rock, and see the statue David?  The work of art was already in the rock, the artist just had to chip off the extra rock.  That always amazed me that Michael Angelo said that, but at times, as I have written blogs, that seem to be of significance, and I start with the idea to write one thing, and as the blog progresses, something totally different starts to happen, not necessarily from within me, but within the blog itself, the connections that my mind makes, and remembering stories, examples, that I hadn't thought of for years, is almost a spiritual experience.  That is the way this man who made the design of the statue sounded.  In fact at one point, he said, he could not figure out, how to carve the details of the hands, or some part of the body, and it was just like, an unseen hand took over and did it for him.  From that point forward, he said, the work was not his, but he was the tool.  I get that now.

Divine intervention seemed to be the order of the day, almost every step of the way.  I can't remember how much the entire statue weighs, but it is 10s of tons, and the helicopter that the National Guard used to fly each of the six parts of the statue to the top of the mountain, weigh more than the capacity of the copter.  I think the capacity for each flight was about 10 tons, and one of the pieces weighed, at least 15 tons, so they were testing the capacity of the machine, the pilots, and the people standing on the foundation, hooking the pieces together, one by one.  At one point, the largest and heaviest piece, got blown in the wind, into a spiral, death spiral if you will, spinning out of control, almost pulling the helicopter down with it, with one of the hands of the lady, getting caught in the last piece that was laid.  Remember this was put up there in December, and Butte, can be colder than a witch's tit!  But, that run, the pilot, took the piece back down, to ground zero, and got his nerves and the metal part steadied.  And luckily, there was a nice, big sky, sunset, that winter night, and they were able to connect the part, with many eyes, binoculars, TV cameras, and even President Reagan and Nancy watching, having commissioned the National Guard to help with the efforts of Butte, in this project.  Anyway, it is truly an amazing story . . . unfinished though.

Goal, To Put A Tram From the Base of the Mountain to the Lady

Right now, as it stands, tourists, have to take a bus tour up to the monument and chapel, which right now, takes about 2 hours.  If the tram is set up, they figure that it will only take 5 minutes, at a straight shot up the side of the mountain, making it much more accessible to all, locals and tourists.  When you want to see a ton of things in a town, you need to limit and economize the visit, and so this tram would make it more fun, less timely, and with a small cost, to get people up to the Chapel and the Lady.  I am sure that you can find the foundation, Our Lady of the Rockies Foundation, on the Internet, or you can contact the Butte Mall, and send donations to help with the tram.  Again this is a monument to motherhood and women, one of a kind in the world, and the world should see it.

So if you feel so inclined, to make a donation, to see this tram and other aspects of the monument expand, contact one of these entities and they will be more than glad to take a donation on behalf of a woman you love and care about.  The bus driver and her husband, each year on his mother 's birthday, write a small thing for the newspaper, to commemorate her birthday and life, and every night that someone does that, the lights are turned on in the Lady of the Rockies.  Everyday, in the newspaper, Our Lady is called on to bless marriages, anniversaries, birthdays and deaths.  It is fun to look up on the mountains each night, and see the huge woman, lighted on the mountains, blessing the people down below, in the valley.

The Men Jumped for JOY!

It was fun to see, this monumental effort being pulled off and recorded on video tapes of the news.  The men, literally jumped up in the air, just like little boys, celebrating this modern day engineering feat.  They cried, hugged, congratulated, loved on each other, and joined in a circle of prayer.  It was funny, because, when you deal in the world I do, of spooks, spies, undercover cops, you always wonder who you are really with, is their story a cover, or is it the real thing.  His James from Kansas, or is he really a local boy?  When I first met him, he mentioned something about a ranch outside of Butte?  There is a sign, on the way down to Walmart, that says, Silver Bow Hearth & Home . . . older bow's hearth and home?  Maybe . . . but in the prayer circle, there is this guy with hair just like James, which is unique in and of itself, joining the men of the community, a long hair, in with the other men, thanking God for the safe mounting of the statue.  Questions, questions, questions . . . or just imagination?

The Story of the Lady Of the Rockies, Is Inspiring, Awesome, and Amazing . . . Check Out the Film at the Mall, Free, or You Can Purchase the CD from the Shop, or Online, I would think, Among Many Other Fun Memorabilia of the Event!

Butte Rescue Mission Boys, Not Good for Gal's Ego!

LOL!  One of my roommates or dorm gals, here at the Mission, who is here from Washington, and looking to make a new start in Butte, Montana, with a new job, new man, and rockin' the town, got a back handed, Butte, male sort of sort of not, compliment.  This chick has a body to die for, and all the guys, both in and out of the mission are hot on her, from men, much younger than her age to much older, a hot commodity for sure.  But the other day, she came to me, all upset, and said, guess what, George, said to me!  What?  Now, George, is one of the guys who has hit on her, so he either meant this statement as a compliment, or he thought he was complimenting her, or he was giving her a back handed compliment.  I am sure that the women around Butte, are used to the guys humor, their lack of sensitivity, and their intended, mating calls, but this one went far beyond the mark, when he said: Your body says, a million bucks, but your face, says, food stamps!  LOL!  I am not sure, what the hell, he was trying to accomplish by this statement, maybe, you reader, can decipher the intent, and the message, but my friend, was pissed and I think very offended by his statement.

Now, possibly, he was referring to the fact that many people, drop by the BRM, as a transitional housing place, to get the feel of the city, where to live and not to live, to get a few weeks break from the cruel hard world, of finding a place to rent, paying first, last and deposit, roughly costing you about $1,000, and to save a few pennies, to help make that transition between towns.  And while here, this woman, applied for a got food stamps, while see was looking for work, and looking for housing, and a new man.  I am glad to say, that she just started her new job yesterday, and she is overjoyed, working 40 hours per week, benefits, and a ton of nice things attached to a job, she will be very good at, working with troubled youth, or those who have witnessed their parents being murdered, or have been sexually molested themselves.  They come to Arcadia, for a time frame of between 3 to 6 months, and this is the last ditch effort, to help them get a bit of a feeling of self-worth.  My friend is the perfect person for this job, firm, but fair, loving, but can crack a whip when the situation calls for it.  She already had the teens trying to intimidate her yesterday, no dice!

So, perhaps, George, was, referring to her financial state of being on food stamps, saying, that you look like you are worth a million bucks, given that body, but in reality, you are living on food stamps for the time being?  That is the best case scenario.  Then you could take it, the way I think she took it, that she has a great body, but her face is lacking, and somewhere valued around that of the price of food stamps!  LOL!  My friend is very cute, and generally thought of as younger than she really is, at 51, guys 25 years younger are interested in her, so I don't think that is what he meant, because, she is cute.  However, as is the case with all women and men, who both sun tan and smoke, her giving it up this week and sticking to it, they tend to get a more harsh or crusty look about them, due to their choice of lifestyle, and their voices, usually are a bit raspy and deeper, suggesting a less pampered life, that a woman worth millions might experience.  Or he meant that, given her body, she could get a millionaire, but given the indication of tougher times, she would have to do with a guy she met, while on food stamps?  Your guess is as good as mine, but a funny comparison for sure, and makes you think . . . Butte is Butte!

The Golden Soldier, Casually Standing Guard at the Federal Court Building

One of the really fun things about the lifestyle that has come to be mine, given a constitutional law attorney, living in a Patriot Act world, is that I have been chased from east to west, and north to south, and for a damn good reason, try to land in Montana when I get low on funds, for two reasons: (1) I know I can always get shelter and food!  And (2), if my battle with the Patriot Act boys and girls, ever came push to shove, and they actually got me and charged with with something substantial, other than exercising my first amendment rights, to free speech to rat out what the hell the cops, prosecutors and judges, or our alleged criminal justice system is up to, and I will, tongue in cheek, add the civil justice system that is not much better, I just haven't had the experience in that area, other than having several multi-million dollar cases, double docketed, given to the chosen attorney, who gets the pleasure of stealing my notable and famous cases, plus gets to share the spoils with the powers that be, getting great pleasure in cutting out the one and true attorney, who had the brains to create this type of lawsuit!  So really, both of these systems, at least in my mind, are as corrupt as you can get!  But, the up side, of this lifestyle, is getting to cruise around the states, and Montana and get a feel for the differences in the towns, the personalities, the flavor, the temperament, the overall kind of things that go down in which town, what types of people are attracted to this particular town, and stuff like that.

In Utah, the state is more homogeneous, due to the fact that the Mormon Church, gives people a commonality around the state.  And second, because the state is smaller, and along the Wasatch Front, there are almost solid houses, from Brigham City, to Santaguin, Utah, picking up against near Cedar City, and going into St. George, on the south, and the same from Brigham City to Logan on the north.  Montana is so damn big, that the cities are separate and distinct, for the most part, with hours of travel between a lot of them, especially the main or larger cities.  I have frequented, Helena, Missoula, Kalispell, Whitefish, Great Falls, Bozeman, and now Butte, all on several different occasions, and I like them all for different reasons, and it is probably good, that things have worked out the way they have, because if someone said, which city would you make home, if you had to choose right her, right now . . . I would have an extremely hard time.  I like Helena because of the Capitol, and the legal and legislative issues, plus any protests, crusader rabbit here, take place in Helena, and I like to be involved; Missoula, because of the law school, and the college, the river and the shopping, love those Presidential Lecture Series, and my daughter, who is in Missoula, right now, is going to law school, next fall, and bringing her family, along with hubby and three future, Navy SEAL sons, all about 2 years apart, more like a gang, than brothers!  Then, I love Kalispell/Whitefish area for the beauty, the Flathead Lake and Glacier, are so absolutely beautiful, that you only need take a drive around the valley and you have seen more beauty than you can see in a lifetime, so off the charts!

Bozeman is just funky and cool, and some here, in Butte, would call it the Snob Town, kind of the cowboy, Hollywood, of Montana, fashionable, and historic, plus the college is always a draw for me, and the bus system, in both Missoula and Bozeman, catering to the college kids, with benefits for the rest of us, you can catch a bus, up to 2:30 a.m., in the morning, after going to dinner, dancing and clubbing!  Great Falls, has one of the best newspapers, kind of Walls Street Journal like, and the falls are great beauties also.  I haven't been around town as much as I should, but, there is a lot happening, in that Golden Triangle, of Great Falls, Shelby, to Browning, bringing you to the amazing big skies of Montana, some of these most beautiful mornings were leaving either Great Falls to Shelby, or Shelby to Kalispell, driving with the sun coming up over the wheat fields and farm lands, and heading towards Glacier National Park, towards, deep purple, majestic, jagged mountain ranges, with white and grey clouds hanging over them!  Simply gorgeous, and the rivers, all just awesome and inspiring.  But, Butte, I have to say, given the history, the mining, the Clark/Daly political machines, the labor unions, the San Fransisco like atmosphere, followed by the tough times, and those hardy souls, who with the mining shut down, put Our Lady of the Mountains, up at a time, just after the mines closed and left the town devastated, and desperate, with a group of Butte citizens, pulling their money, creating the 90' plus statute, and having the National Guard, place it in three separate and distinct pieces, on the mountains overlooking Butte, lighted by night, and watching over the valley by day, telling anyone who is the last one out of Butte, to turn the lights off!  They are still on, and that has taken some guts! 

The sexy soldier, standing watch at the federal court house, is reminiscent of the Gilded Age, where money flowed through the streets of the town with the RICHEST HILL IN AMERICA!  The soldier is like none other that I have even seen, and is unique in and of itself, like Butte, it has attitude, not the typical, statue of a soldier, preformed, stoic, and determined, but kind of a smart ass attitude, bring it on, buddy, we can beat anyone!  I have to smile, every time the bus, goes past the statute of the Golden Boy Soldier, as if he is saying, we did it once, we can do it again!  Creative, unique, and indicative of the flavor of the town, tough as nails, and willing to rise to any challenge.

Everybody Hates Us!

Hard drinking, rough necks, tough kids, and an indomitable spirit, as exemplified by a recent football game between, I am assuming, the two local high schools of the towns, but Butte High, or whatever it is called, seems like the bus driver said, HI, is that Hellgate . . . I know there is a Hellgate in Missoula, but maybe here too, but they kicked a 42 yard field goal, to beat, Bozeman high school, whatever their name is, in the final minutes of the game.  The rivalry is so intense, that some of the fans, were dismissing the win, as just a fluke, and so a radio announcer, from Butte, said, let the kid kick another one, to see if it was a fluke . . . the kid kicked a 54 yard field goal!  Trash talking is hated, but when someone can back up all the trash talk, they are even more hated!  LOL!  It sounds like that is what happened in the football game, and all the talk, wasn't just blowing smoke up their asses!  They really did perform, and I feel that is starting to happen in the community.  Take if from someone who has seen better days, and can relate to Butte, you have all the history, everything that says you are a winner, and you can actually trash talk anyone, under the table, but the current situation, makes it a bit hard, to make anyone see what you used to be, but as this EPA Super Fund comes in, and the citizens, tough as nails, puts their Irish determination and other nationalities, who love this town, the mining, the history, together, they will, as in the field goal, prove once more, who the Queen City is, in Montana!  I always heard that Helena stole the Capitol, not quit, but Butte, was the town, west of the Mississippi, that used to rival New York and  Chicago!

And, just as interesting as I find the Golden Boy Soldier, standing casually, with attitude at the doors of the United States Federal Building, I find it interesting that the federal court house is located in Butte, rather than in Helena?  Maybe that is due to the late determination of where the Capital city was going to be, or maybe that is the place of commerce and the workings of the United States and the world, with the largest copper producing mine in the world, and the 4th largest company, and the biggest labor union, mirroring the history of all America, in the Gilded Age, with the Copper Kings, seeing not only copper, but gold and silver in them there hills, overlooking Butte!  When all is said and done, Butte has a history like none other, and that is reflected in their festivals, from St. Patrick's Day, to Evel Knieval Days . . . new film is going to be premiered here, I think, to the Butte Folk Festival, with bands and partying for three days!

If Nothing Else . . . You Will Have a Hot Nitro Fun Time In Butte, this Next Weekend to St. Patrick's Day . . . Butte Has the Largest Irish Population West of Boston!  Come Get Some of the Luck of the Irish!  FUN, FUN, FUN!

Another female bus drive, told me what a good town Butte is, but the reason they are so poor, is because, Bozeman, sends all their homeless to Butte!  LOL!  I told her, right now, I am one of those homeless, and proud of it!  If I could ever decide, or the local cop PD welcome wagon, wasn't trying to lock my constitutional ass up, or this bad ass chick, could decided where she wanted to land, I wouldn't be homeless anymore, but it has been one hell of a ride, Gotta Love This, Montana, American Ride!  Bozeman, I don't think your Warming Shelter is cutting it with the Butte Rescue Mission . . . you are making the city poor!  LOL!  Thank you to all the people, who donate on a regular basis, food, clothing, meat . . . I had a moose paddy, the other day, tons of garlic, and it was yummy, to cakes, and religious lessons, music and fun.  We appreciate those towns that will help those in need, and give them temporary housing and shelter, until they can do it on their own.

Motto of the Butte Rescue Mission: It is More Than a Warm Bed, More Than a Warm Meal, It is Giving People HOPE!

God Bless You All!

UNRIGHTEOUS SLAUGHTER OF THE 4TH AMENDMENT--VOTE "YES" ON BILL, 344, TO MAKE LICENSE PLATE SCANNING THE EXCEPTION TO THE GENERAL RULE--THAT YOU NEED PROBABLE CAUSE AND A WARRANT, TO SCAN A LICENSE PLATE, WITHOUT EXIGENT CIRCUMSTANCES . . . PROTECTING VEHICLE OWNERS FROM UNREASONABLE SEARCHES AND SEIZURES, THUS VIOLATING THEIR RIGHT TO PRIVACY! THE GOVERNMENT IS NOT ENTITLED TO KNOW WHERE, WHAT, WITH WHOM, AND WHEN WE ARE GOING SOMEWHERE IN OUR CARS! DON'T FALL FOR THE EMOTIONAL ARGUMENT, THAT WE NEED IT WHEN A CHILD HAS BEEN ABDUCTED--THAT WOULD BE AN EXIGENT CIRCUMSTANCE, AND THAT WOULD ALLOW THE GOVERNMENT, IN THIS EMERGENCY SITUATION TO SCAN A LICENSE PLATE OF THE OWNER--OTHERWISE, HANDS OFF, BACK OFF, NO SCANNING, UNLESS YOU SEE A CHILD SCREAMING IN THE BACK, ACTING LIKE THEY HAVE BEEN ABDUCTED! CHILDREN ARE THE SOFT SPOTS, IN PEOPLE'S HEARTS, AND THE GOVERNMENT HAS LEANED ON THAT TO VIOLATE YOUR RIGHTS . . . LOOK AT THE STATISTICS, THE NUMBER OF KIDS, ACTUALLY ABDUCTED, AND THE LIKELIHOOD, THAT LICENSE PLATE SCANNING CAN DO ANYTHING TO HELP THAT SITUATION! THINK . . . LOVE AFFAIR WITH MONTANA CONTINUES, DIG YOU PROTECTING CITIZENS' RIGHTS--SAD THAT WE HAVE TO CODIFY, WHAT SHOULD BE COMMON KNOWLEDGE--SCANNING WITHOUT PROBABLE CAUSE, IS AN UNREASONABLE SEARCH AND SEIZURE IN VIOLATION OF 4TH AMENDMENT RIGHTS AND PROTECTIONS . . . PATRIOT ACT, BACK OFF!

A Sad Commentary, That We Need to Pass a Law to Legalize the United States Constitution!

Knowledge of the 4th amendment, used to be common knowledge, and police and prosecutors, would automatically, just get a warrant, when they needed to search a premises, or arrest a person; however, after the Patriot Act, was passed, and we have now had a generation of cops and prosecutors, who are trained in ways other than those of the U.S. Constitution, they have brought with them confusion, chaos, misunderstanding, lack of trust, powers beyond what the government was intended to have, abuse of those powers, to the point of leaving us with no laws, no protections, and no rights, whatsoever, unless, some cop or prosecutor, judge, or someone feels that it is in their best interest to grant us rights that we have already had, and still do.  The Patriot Act is void as a matter of law, when it comes in contact with a U.S. citizen; it was intended for terrorists, and foreigners, and those who might bring harm to the national security, not just your average Joe Blow!

I believe, that where this confusion, and crossing over, between the rights of citizens, and the need to protect the country, came, when, Homeland Security, created after 9/11, decided that the United States would be the policing agency of the world, the world cops if you will, giving covered agencies, total immunity to do whatever they wanted, both within the borders of the U.S. and in the world at large.  Another reason, the Congress should curtail the budget and reign in the powers of Homeland Security, much like the Congress and the President had to do with the CIA, who was getting totally out of control, to the point of destroying evidence, spying on the Senate Intelligence Committees, computers, involved in the investigation, and denying access and information to staffers of the Intelligence Committee!  No government agency should go unchecked, unmanned, and without oversight.  It is in the common experience and nature of man, to take whatever powers he or she can get, and fuck the rest of you!

This is not the right way to play this game, and we need people who are willing to turn the tables back, slam the necks of these agencies down, on the table, forcing them to deal with the U.S. and State Constitutions! 

Laws That Are Repugnant to the Constitution, Are VOID!  And Laws That Are Consistent With the Letter & Spirit of the Constitution, Are Constitutional!

It really should be that simple.  The Patriot Act, tries to blur the lines between citizens and terrorists, making many people like me, homegrown terrorists, enemy combatants or enemies of the state, because we fight for the rights that are ours, and inalienable, or inseparable, not granted of given to us by the government!  These are the product of natural law, or those laws that come with being a man/woman with a divine creator, and they are not for the government to give or take away.  It is we the PEOPLE, who created government, not the other way around.  We created you, government, to protect the very rights that you so willingly try to deny to us, now that you have passed an unconstitutional law, with regards to citizens, with rights . . . foreigners, terrorists, and those from other countries do not have equal status, within the United States as its own citizens, and are not to be thrown into the same bunch!

There are lines of demarcation, that clearly put a line in the sand, between citizens and non-citizens, what do you think all the fuss is over immigration laws, illegally being in the country, crossing the borders without the proper paperwork!  This is all part of distinguishing, citizens from non-citizens.  I do believe at one point that President Obama, extended the rights of citizens, to the world, and he just simply can't do that!  The United States, is a sovereign country, as are the rest of the countries, and they have their laws, constitution, and rights to citizenship, as we do in our country.  We are not just one big blob of countries, meshed in together, but separate and distinct, with each having their rights, privileges and immunities.  Now this does not mean that we can't learn from other countries, and many have great ideas that we can learn from, but for the United States, through some secret society, of Skull & Bones, or the Illuminati, or the Masons, making secret packs and undermining the basic tenants and concepts of this country, with the intent of a one world order, is not going to fly.

Declaration of Independence . . . We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable rights, that among these are Life, Liberty, and the Pursuit of Happiness--that to secure these rights, governments are instituted among men, deriving their just powers from the consent of the governed!

Keep Up The GREAT Work, Montana Legislature, Defending, Preserving and Protecting the United States Constitution!

VOTE "YES" ON BILL 344

 

WHY HASN'T LORETTA LYNCH, PRESIDENT OBAMA'S NOMINEE FOR U.S. ATTORNEY GENERAL, BEEN CONFIRMED BY THE HOUSE, HAVING PASSED CONFIRMATION IN THE SENATE, BUT BEING HELD HOSTAGE BY HOUSE REPUBLICANS, DUE TO HER FINDING THAT THE EXECUTIVE ORDER ON IMMIGRATION, IS NOT ONLY LEGAL, BUT CONSTITUTIONAL? POLITICS, POLITICS, POLITICS! JUST BECAUSE SOMEONE DOESN'T AGREE WITH YOUR POLITICAL POSITION, IS NOT A GOOD REASON TO STOP HER CONFIRMATION! REASONABLE PEOPLE AGREE TO DISAGREE! LOOK AT HER STANDS ON JUSTICE . . . REPUBLICAN CONGRESSMAN, MICHAEL GRIMME, WAS INDICTED ON CORRUPTION CHARGES, AND LYNCH"S RESPONSE, UNBIASED AS IT SHOULD BE, WAS "MICHAEL GRIMM MADE THE CHOICE TO GO FROM UPHOLDING THE LAW TO BREAKING THE IT." AS THE #1 LAW ENFORCEMENT OFFICER IN THE COUNTRY, THAT IS PRECISELY THE ATTITUDE SHE AND HER SUBORDINATES AT THE JUSTICE DEPARTMENT SHOULD HAVE! I THINK REPUBLICANS ARE AFRAID THAT MS. LYNCH WON'T PLAY BY THE SAME, GOOD OLD BOYS GAME RULES, THEY ARE USED TO, AND WILL LOOK AT JUSTICE AS BLIND, NOT GRANTING STAYS, WAIVERS AND PRIVILEGES FOR THE ALLEGED ELITE CLASS IN AMERICA, BUT TRULY SEEING THAT JUSTICE IS FOR ALL! WHEN WORKING WITH VICTIMS IN RWANDA, SHE SAID: "THAT WORK WAS AN OPPORTUNITY TO SERVE PEOPLE AND REPAY THE GIFT OF TRUST." SHE STRIKES ME AS A WOMAN WHO KNOWS RIGHT FROM WRONG, AND THE VALUE OF TRUST! LET"S GIT-R-DONE! U.S. ATTORNEY, ERIC HOLDER, JUST HAD HIS SECOND FAREWELL . . . SO WHY CAN THE GUY, CHOSEN FOR SECRETARY OF DEFENSE, AFTER HAGEL, BE NOMINATED BEFORE MS. LYNCH, AND BE IN HIS JOB ALREADY? THE HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES, IS LIVING UP TO THEIR RACIST, BIGOTED, OLD FASHIONED WAYS, AS SEEN IN NOT COMMEMORATING "BLOOD SUNDAY." GET OVER IT, TIMES HAVE CHANGED AND THE ALLEGED OLD GRAND PARTY NEEDS TO TOO!

College Kids, Interviewed After The Last Election, Said that Republicans Are Racist, Bigots and Old Fashioned!

Don't these labels, somewhat concern the party?  And, with the denial of confirmation of the Honorable Loretta Lynch, the first black, female, nominee for U.S. Attorney General, to lead the Department of Justice, the Republican led House, seems to be living up to and going beyond their labels, even as seen by young Republicans on campuses all across the United States.  There was a great article in the Montana Standard, this morning, and I wish I had it in front of me, but the author was pointing out the changing demographics of America.  There are fewer whites, more minorities, maybe soon to be the majority, the population is aging, and things are going to have to adapt to these changes, especially, political ideologies, philosophies, and terminologies.  Just because the Republicans took over the leadership in the Senate, joining that of the House of Representatives, does not necessarily mean that people, the majority see things their way, it means, that the Koch brother's dark money had an impact, and not generally that the population voted for the Republicans, but against the Democrats, which is typical, going from one party to the other.  Or perhaps, that the populous was sick of the Republicans doing nothing, a blocking any kind of progress, legislation and whatever, and decided, to give them a chance to see what they could do with a majority in both houses . . . and so far the results have been dismal at best.  There is nothing more sobering, than being the place the buck stops, and taking all the blame and all the credit if things go either good or bad!

Ms. Lynch, is the top prosecutor, over the District of New York, with over 8 million people she and her department serve.  She was not just confirmed once, under President Clinton, but again by a voiced vote by President Obama.  She was given over 800 questions to answer from the Senate, and did so with flying colors; her professionalism, education, Harvard Law School, and her cases stand by themselves.  She is the daughter of a preacher, and she was carried on the shoulders of her father, who opened his church to marchers for voting rights and other civil rights issues . . . we have an epidemic of white cop on black shootings in this country, even other countries are shocked and appalled at the brutality, militarization, and force that was used, not only in Ferguson, but had been used, formerly in Selma, Alabama.  She can bring a solid voice to law enforcement, having handled one of the worst, cases of police brutality, when several New York cops, raped a Haitian man with a broomstick . . . this is unacceptable!  We also have issues of domestic violence, rape, sexual assault, not only on our streets but on our college campuses, and in our homes, and even worse, in our military!

Like the female students, at the University of Montana, voiced recently, that we demand a change!  I know, as a former, Utah Assistant Attorney General, my presence, in a courtroom, or at a cops shop, or at a conference on domestic violence, rape, and sexual assault helped.  I was over the Victim Assistance Program, in the Utah Attorney Generals Office, and was often asked by victims of domestic violence, especially by the wealthy rancher's son, the old football star, and a general bad ass that men would not mess with, to come to court, after being re-victimized by the local cops . . . hopefully things have changed in the last 20 years, but me just being there, holding her hand so to say, and with a judge and cops, having to look at me, and knowing I had the ability to go over their heads, and make things happen, changed the outcomes of trials, arrests, jailing and sentencing.  One time this rancher, football star, and abuser, came up and pulled up his pants, showing me, his ankle monitor, and looking over the window of his jacked up truck, said, maybe I ought to abuse you, or go after you . . . I put my head in his window, and said, I dare you, I will have your ass in prison so fast, it will make your head spin . . . he drove away! 

WE DEMAND A CHANGE!  MS. LYNCH WOULD BE A GREAT ONE!

I have worked with U.S. Attorneys before, and there is still a close connection between, local, state and federal, cops and prosecutors, they rely on each other to solve crimes, and try cases . . . I understand that, but I also understand, that there is often this unspoken boys rule, that precludes women, or their inclusion in this silent game of keeping the power among themselves.  I did not, personally, agree with U.S. Attorney General, Eric Holder, on the Ferguson, independent investigation.  I have seen it too many times, both personally and in my cases, that the feds will cover for the local cops and prosecutors they have to have a continued relationship with.  I think, that Ms. Lynch, a female and black, will never, belong to the good old boys club, as I have neither, and to me, justice is justice, and right it right, and wrong is wrong, no matter who is taking the actions . . . this is not the fraternal order of the police, defending anything that looks, smells, and acts like a cop, ZIMMERMAN!  We need to restore trust, and trust in the office.

While I had issues, that had to go up to the state crime lab in Utah, and working with the FBI, who actually covered, the local cops, on voice recognition tapes, that I knew who they were, having only met them once, but the ACLU, did a study, at that same time and said, that nationally, state crime labs, were destroying exculpatory evidence or evidence that worked against the prosecutors and cops cases, and doctored evidence in their favor!  This is not the way to bring trust, maintain trust, or re-establish trust!  It is as if, the powers that be, know they will have to work with these guys again, and so they favor them, not justice!  The whole justice system, no matter who's rights, crimes, issues are in front of the judge and jury, is to see that there is Justice for all, not just for a chosen few!

Righteous Kill . . . OH, REALLY?

Last night, I was watching to old movie, Righteous Kill, with Robert DiNiro and Al Pacino, both old seasoned cops.  I fell asleep at the end, but DiNiro, had killed 14 people, he deemed worthless and druggies on society, worth killing, thus the righteous kill.  These were rapist, murderers, child molesters, drug dealers, and such, not the top of the line in society.  However, just as in the cop shootings of late, both black and white, I do not believe, that a cop can be judge, jury and executioner on our streets, as frustrating as that may seem, and how bad these guys are . . . that is just not our system and not your call!  A rapist got off at the first of the movie, and he made faces at the cops, as he left with DiNiro, threatening him, and eventually carrying out the death card, he had dealt him.  Now, I am sure that this is every cops fantasy to get the bad guys, that is what they are trained to do, and that is their job, but what separates a bad cop from a bad guy?  I have seen criminals, that I would rather deal with than cops, many times.  One of my clients, was dealing with the DEA, or the Drug Enforcement Agency, and he said, he couldn't tell who was more crooked the cops for the drug dealers?  I agree.

When the guy walked, the cops had not done their jobs, the evidence was weak, and the prosecutor said that the cops had violated every rule of justice and evidence, and they didn't deserve a indictment based on the flimsy evidence that was provided for the prosecutors, who are not magicians, and should not get a win, in our system, unless, they have sufficient proof, to charge, arrest, book, jail, and try a defendant or suspect. We cannot have each cop a law unto themselves . . . that will never work, and you will have more incidents, like the two cops that were gunned down by the guy several months ago!  This is about trust, about doing your job . . . anyone, can charge anyone with a crime, it is proving it that counts, even if you know damn well they did it, in our system, you cannot merely claim they did the crime, but you have to have actual proof of the crime, through evidence, testimony, facts, and witnesses!

This is not your game alone . . . they justice system, belongs to all of us.  We have far to many adults in the prison system today, and maybe because cops and prosecutor games, and I have been a victim of them, and they are not fair, nor are they professional, nor are they American in nature, but some foreign fascist shit, that doesn't have merit in our books, in our laws, or in our courts!

There Has Not Been One Thing, I Have Seen, That Would Concern Me In Voting Loretta Lynch, U.S. Attorney!

Leave Your Personal Politics Out of It!  This is About Justice For All!

Amazing . . . Every Time You Think These ASSHOLES Are Possibly Leaving You Alone, They Steal the Next Title!  At Least I Didn't Have The Whole Thing Written!

This morning at the Butte Rescue Mission, where I am staying, and have been for a week, I found an envelope on the dresser, next to my bunk, and I was hoping that it was from the California Department of Public Health, Center for Health Statistics and Informatics, Vital Records, containing my birth certificate inside . . . and, happy to say, it was.  Now, one would think that getting a birth certificate should not be a big deal, but it has been, especially, since the government plan, or the D.C. Plan for me, taking away my life, basically, starting back in 2000, and continuing on to today, includes, stripping me of all self-authenticating evidence of my natural birth, life, history, pictures, ID, connections with my life, children, law practice, employment, and whatever else, they can do to make my life miserable, including, killing me!  

If you were to look at last weeks, poison, given through, the popular, green tea, coffee beans, and related diet related products, and took it in isolation, of all other events in my life, you might be able to convince yourself, that, no, in fact, I was not given poison, that was intended to kill me. However, if you look at the totality of the circumstances of my life, over the last 15 years, you will see that it is not only carrying on patterns and traditions of the past, but even doing what worked, 15 years ago, when I was poisoned with poisonous African tree frog gum, placed on my steering wheel of my car, oderless, tasteless, and being taken into your system, through the pores on your hands, and slowly going up and killing you, or attacking the frontal lobes of your brain . . . I just lived too close to the scene of the crime, the Utah Medical Association, where I worked and the poison was placed on my steering wheel.  A factor that the alleged experts didn't take into consideration, when planning my first demise!

Constant Attacks & Assaults On My Life . . . Whether Through Poison, Police, Putting Me in Eminent Danger, Or Whatever Variety They Come Up With!

So, to take the whole thing into perspective, there is an orchestrated, plan, could be right from the President's desk, or from those around him, to take me out of commission, so that my resume, history, legacy, writings, manuals, teachings, publications, blogs, and what not, can be used, by someone more controllable, I am a lose cannon, and nobody controls me, nor will they ever . . . but, that fact, does not allow, the government, under some, D.C. Plan, to come in my life, and steal every aspect of it, denying the creator, of it all, ME, to have access, priority, claim, and all to what, legitimately belongs to me, and has no connection, or tangential right for the government, to be involved.  I can see their fucked up, small minds, trying to justify it for national security, or for the greatest good for the greatest number of people, or to use my connection with the PEOPLE and the U.S. Constitution, to blindly get the masses to follow me, and then turn the compass, just a little to the right, or wherever, to make the people, see things through their point of view, which is contrary to both mine and the majority of the People!

I do not deal in tricks, bribery, corruption, violations of sacred trusts, promises, rights, privileges, allegiances, alliances, and so forth, and if these fuckers, can't convince me through, logic, argument, example, facts, evidence, and all those great things that I am trained to look at them, fuck them!  I will not play ball.  But, to take what I have produced, from children, to intellectual property, and manipulate it, after taking it, forgetting the 5th amendment, people can't be denied, life, liberty and property, without just compensation . . . pulling in a fake JoAnn, Joanne, Joann, Joan, and whatever corrupt version of my name, you use, does not compensate me, at fair market value, the going rate for government takings!  You have never approached me, asked me to help, offered me compensation, gotten my approval, asked if you could represent me, and you know I would not do that, so, you simply decided that it was easier to ask forgiveness than permission, and stole all I have, up to and including trying to steal my life!

After Being Frustrated Over YOU Fucking Taking MY Titles, Three Times, I Decided to Watch 48 Hours . . . TRUE CRIME, Which Yours IS!

The first show started with a young couple on a honeymoon cruise that ended in tragedy . . . but the thing that struck me as strange, was the name of the ship, Brilliance of the Sea, because, symbolically, the word, sea, has come to represent Kay, who lived in Half-Moon Bay, California, with her second husband, David Buttars . . . easy to trace this bitch, so what is the problem, not even close to where I lived, practiced law in San Diego, NOT FUCKING ME!  But, when the cops were interviewing four young men, over the murder, of the young husband, in true fashion, from my Intel guy, God, one of the men, was wearing a basketball, shirt, that said, WALLACE, and the number 3, on the back!  It was just yesterday, that I wrote the blog on Mel Gibson's movie, Braveheart, and the main character's name, was Wallace, which I referred to on several occasions!  And the number 3 . . . had my blog and writing from yesterday, an inspiring piece, if I don't say so myself, been stolen, and divided it up between the three main, JoAnns, Kay, Shelley, Rachel?

In the next 48 Hours, I watched, a young girl was attacked by her former boyfriend, who just wanted a hug, and then took two knives out and stabbed her until he thought she was dead, and left.  The hospital, she was flown to, was called, Bayfront Health . . . another connection with Half-Moon, Bay, or Kay . . . was God, trying to tell me, that this harrowing story, on both mine and this young woman, who barely survived, but went on to become a voice of Truth Against Violence, indicative and symbolic of my domestic violence and sexual assault manual, that got national awards, and the envy of all of these women, even being used, presently by the Department of Justice, to combat, human body trafficking, and probably where my name and status as an attorney, a mover and shaker in the government arena, started and blossomed! Getting an award by President Clinton, under the Violence Against Women Act, back in 1996 or 97, is not small deal, and being a national model, is not either!

Shelley, Kay and Rachel, have all been abused women, and I have not, at least, on a personal level, or getting beat up in my home; however, I will say, that Jerry Owens, Brett Todd Stuart/Stewart, Frank aka Allan Rex Bess, have joined with the brotherhood, of cops, prosecutors and judges, not to mention, all family members, clients, associates, lovers, and whomever they can convince to side against me, in this, extreme case of violence, prejudice and systemic abuse . . . then you could say, I am an abused woman, on a huge scale!  Now days, when women tell me their tales of dealing with one husband, I don't laugh, but tell them to multiply that by all cops, prosecutors, judges, government agents, friends, family, clients, and whatever, and they will get a broader picture of what I am up against . . . take the California vital statistics . . . I sent $93 to them, a year ago, January, 2014, after letting my Utah Driver License lapse, thinking, that it would take 10 days to get . . . oh, hell no!  I had their people, probably FBI, intercepting the calls, trying stop me from getting proof of my identity, since they had successfully paid people, to steal mine, right out of my purse, or even told the DMV in Great Falls, Montana, to keep my DL, but they started telling me that I had to talk to one of them, before they could send me my birth certificate, WHAT?

So, I tried, and every time I called them, I got their voice mail, or some menu . . . this went on for about 20 calls, until I finally realized, that this was just another one of their little ploys to stop me from having a driver's license, even though I have a perfect record, unless I got dinged for Rachel's DUI, and suspended!  Finally, I wrote a scathing email, about them facilitating and guarding those who are stealing my identity, and they wrote back, sounding just like Shelley, a benefactress, saying that I was too mean!  Government agencies don't have the luxury of telling the public that they will not send them a birth certificate, because they are mean . . . I knew, that John Bagby, whom I had used his address to get the certificate sent to, had most likely been paid off, to intercept the birth certificate from me, while I paid for it, and never got my money back, with the email stating that I had insufficient funds, which was a bold faced lie!  No, this is a federal crime, crossing over state lines, and where it he fucking FBI, helping them!  The twitch'en bitches!  Can you believe this shit?  Amazing . . .  and I do have a resume to die for, and they have tried many times to make me die for what, being exceptional!  LOL!  Their assets, chicks are standard government issue! Nothing Special . . . as average as the day is long, that is why they have to steal, they can't DO!

The Fragility of the Federal Male Ego . . . An Average Attorney Was Not Good Enough for a Wife . . . Brett's Ego Could Only Handle the Best Resume--MINE!

You see, Brett, my third husband, the mastermind, behind, the violence against me, along with Kay and Shelley, whom I am sure he fucked, both, and probably Rachel and Sue, Tiff and you know, that MoMo polygamy thing, like Joseph Smith, a test of the loyalty of his men, was to give their wives, to him, and that would seal the deal, and most dumb ass Mo's would, being 70% of the CIA, FBI, and FNSA, all the guys, and the main recruiting tool for the Mo fed operations.  Shelley, pretending to be me, and an attorney, early on in the game, soon became very apparent, that once I started to heal from the first attempt on my life, could not cut it as an attorney; therefore, when Brett met Kay, he decided, that she was better suited, since I was getting back in to politics and the law . . . but, Kay was a ho hum, attorney, who lacked any shine whatsoever on her resume, and she was going into the hole, financially, as was Shelley, about $10,000 per month!  LOL!

First Brett, Shelley had her lazy ass sons, Jesse and Isaac, watched Elliot Taylor Secrist, fly and succeed, as bass guitarist for Old School Parallax, God's Revolver--Hard Rock Band of 2008, and Maraloka, now Ditch in the Delta . . . check the new stuff out, gets better all the time, and so does the blood lust for his music by this crew of losers!  El's music became money . . . the thirst for power, acclaim, fame, riches, influence got in their blood . . . then I went back to practicing law, and had $700 million worth of cases, on my desk, another source of money, then the blog, then the water compact, Clearwater Fire & Rescue, the ambulance service, who helped the girl who was almost killed by her boyfriend, but you can see where this is going, not only the money and all that is connected, but the prestige of claiming all that I had done, in fact, that these women were, in fact, me, I am sure, took them from their lowly states as a biologist selling cabbage patch doll shoes, and loser jobs, being a flight attendant, and an attorney, who was beaten in superiority in the law, on her first job, your old junior high school friend, JoAnn, and here was a group of jealous, envious, money grubbing bitches and bastards, Brett never had a pot to piss in, and my father had waited his whole life and ours for riches, and here it was for the taking!  And take they did!

Forgiveness . . . Is That Possible At This Point?

As I heard this young girl, and her mentor, who was beaten and burned on over 80% of her body from her cop husband, and they stated that the one saving factor was forgiving these men, who had so severely hurt them . . . I would like to distinguish, between their cases and mine, the men were picked up and booked, immediately after their crimes were committed, I have seen no justice, no arrests, no charging, no jailing, and nothing!  In fact, all I have seen, if that people, due to the situation, they have kept me in, like staying at homeless shelters, and missions, so people tend to question whether you are even an attorney and why are you here, aren't you suppose to be rich?  Just yesterday a girl asked me that very question . . . shouldn't you be rich, fuck yeah, I should be rich!  To the tune of about, at a bare minimum, of about $200 million!  And you don't even have a driver's license, or a birth certificate, or a social security card?

If there had been an ending date, a stopping point, a landmark date, that these fuckers, said, okay, she has us, and we need to just leave her alone, I might have just dropped all of this, never even written about them, just like this morning, my intent, was to write about the pluses of eating together as families!  All fucking good stuff, but I have eyes on me, 24/7, like vultures from the pits of hell, waiting to tare the flesh off any bone that is exposed to them, that might produce money!  And, they also, want to claim that they wrote the works that inspire people, change people, help families, lives . . . and why can't they do this, they have nothing inspiring about them, they are thieves, liars, corrupt, and dirty players . . . a corrupt tree cannot produce good fruit, and the fruit, doesn't fall far from the tree, their children are equally as corrupt and involved; therefore, their produce is spoiled and no good, so they steal mine, and my produce!  

Once these people are safely behind bars, and I don't have to worry about being framed, set up, given poison, chased by their fucking armies, and whatever I have been going through for the last 15 years, then, I might be able to forgive them, when I know, their lives are going to be a living hell, and for as long as they made my life hell . . . I choose to be happy, but it is damned depressing thinking where I have been and where I am NOW!  As much as I appreciate, the help, the warm bed and the food, I would much prefer to be able to do what I want, eat what I want, be who I want, like I always did before . . . you compare me to what I used to be, before these fuckers, got their fangs and talons in me, and there is not comparison, in looks, professionalism, competence, and presentation . . . they have stopped me from going to the gym, worried, that I will be like I was before, weighing 140 lbs, and gorgeous, on top of my game, I was not always this weight,  in fact that was all part of the D.C. Plan . . . they forced me to take drugs that made me put on about 80 lbs. right off the bat!  

This was a systematic plan, to take me out, and steal my identity . . . I was just looking at my birth certificate, and my father is listed as a, Special Agent, in the Air Force, Intelligence!  I was not up against the average run of the mill, persons, but up against professionals, who knew just want to do, and how to do it, and I still do better work than they do, and they still want to steal everything I do, in fact, after I wrote the blog on comparing the flu like symptoms, comparing them to the ISIS like symptoms and writing a magical piece of work, that hopefully will inspire people to think differently . . . I had a dream, just that night, and my father, dressed in a suit and tie, was sitting with a Chinese gentleman, a very distinguished man, both looking up to me, the teacher, and my father said how much he enjoyed my writing!  I have been blessed with the Brilliance of the Mountains, not the sea, as in Kay . . . she cannot lay claim to what I do, write, think, and live, she doesn't have the experiences I have!  You can look Kay's works and writings up, if they are still there, on the Internet, and see the lower level of writing skills and styles, very apparent, she didn't write what I have . . . Shelley has been studying my work since she moved in 3770 Sugar Leo, St. George, Utah, 2010, the year I filed the Brock security case, and the Cheek corruption cases . . . she has tried to emulate my style, my humor, and wit, can't pull it off, and Rachel has been taking classes, trying to get her up to speed . . . mine all came as a result of my work, jobs, and passions!

Mel Gibson's, Braveheart . . . The Sacrificial Lambs to the Slaughter!

I am not sure, when Braveheart first came out in the movie theaters, but I would venture a guess that it was over 30 years ago, or so it seems.  But, as a more mature, educated, and freedom loving person than I was back in the day, when I first saw the movie, parts in the drama, made more of an impact on me, that I am sure it did when I just watched for the historical, love, and fighting aspects of the movie.  I came into the movie about the time, Wallace, or Gibson, met the girl, and secretly got married.  Being the romantic I am, that part is what stood out in my mind, and I couldn't even remember much of the story or history, after the fight between the Scottish and the English was taking place, with all the men, lifting their kilts, and shooting the very proper English King the moon! 

This time, I was much more aware of the betrayal, the look on Wallace's face, as what he thought were his fellow country men, of another clan, had joined hands to take up arms for freedom against the British Empire, and when he realized, that this was not much more than a set up to get Wallace's army of rag tag, but inspired, men into a trap, that would eventually, for a while lead to their demise.  But, the soon to be heir of the Scottish clan, who shook hands with Wallace, joining him, also noticed the shocked look, when Gibson,Wallace, saw him take off his mask, and reveal who the traitor was, his friend, and it appeared to be someone he respected, very much.  But, as the plot developed, and the soon to be appointed heir to the Scottish throne, or at least to some of it, came back, the look on the pure freedom fighter's face, haunted and depressed him, realizing, that while gaining the world, he had, in deed, lost his very soul, and told his aged father, who orchestrated much of his son's travails and triumphs, depending on which way you looked at it, but he commented to his father, that he had nothing.  He also hated his father, and himself, as he watched his father, who then smiled and said, now, my boy, that you know hate, you are ready to be King.

As the story, history, and the two men, Wallace, the rebel, and the more cultured and prepared to be King, intertwine, and their lives, intersect, they save each other on several occasions, or their previous relationship, and the respect, seem to come in handy, many times, that help forward, Scottish freedom, to the point, that in the end, after Wallace, is killed, and has become a big time legend, the other King, takes up his mantle, finding, meaning in what his friend stood for, and fought for, and joined the fight for freedom, against the former, allies, whom he had sided with, against, Wallace, in a sabotaged effort to take down the rebels.  The human drama was almost more exciting than the historical drama, the epiphany, the ah ha, moments, of truth, of self discovery.  You can never tell the character of a man, woman or child, until it is truly put to the test.  The unexamined life, is a life not worth living . . . Shakespeare, Plato, or Aristotle said that, but it is true regardless of who said it.

It is amazing who many lines, statements, facial expressions, and slogans, that were brought out in this very powerful film, may have inspired me, to fight the fights, I do, to champion freedom, as being my number one priority, and something, that I am willing to risk all for.  The first year, after I was sworn into the United States Supreme Court Bar, the time that seemed to be a turning point in my life, leading me into the rebel role, the renegade, the freedom fighter, the constitutional law attorney, hell bent on righting the wrongs, and forwarding the causes that I took an oath to preserve, protect and defend, trying to slam, the government, cops, business, local, state and county officials, regulatory agencies, whomever, had departed so far from the goals of freedom, rights and liberties, that they needed a wake up call, and the call for fighting off the oppression that had befallen on this country, with the rights being slowly eroding for a long time, probably starting back in 1933, seemed to be a turning away from the safeguards and protections set forth in the wisdom of the founding fathers, and captured in the U.S. Constitution and mirrored in many state constitutions.  But we have many to thank for the freedoms we have, going back centuries.  Just to name a few: 

Moses, Freeing the Children of Israel From Egypt

I am touched my the personal sacrifices, that many, who, could, have chosen, the road of riches, honors, power, actually, risked everything to stand up for the oppressed.  Mose, who was taken onto the palace of Pharaoh, by his daughter, raised as if he was her own, and trained to lead in the courts and halls of glorious Egypt, turned on a dime, so to say, and when he saw, one of his fellow, Israelites, being beaten and whipped by the guard and task master, actually stood up to him, took the whip and beat the guard, until he killed him, sending Moses into the desert to hide from the repercussions of his actions and the murder of the guard. He, however, say the brutality of the treatment of the slaves, and of his countrymen of his birth, and took actions, almost without thinking at all, temper, temper, but so shocked at the inhuman treatment, that he almost went into auto pilot and took the life of this oppressor of the people, without a thought at all!  Are we all as shocked at man's inhumanity to man, or do we hide in the shadows, and hope that someone else comes to their rescue, someone besides ourselves?

Do we turn a blind eye, to a neighbor, a student, a co-worker, a wife, a child, a husband, and others, who are mistreated at the hands of unjust oppressors?  What are we saying about our character, about who we are, and what we stand for, and at the end of the day, do we like the person we see in the mirror, do we respect them, or do we hate the coward, the pussy, the self-protecting person we have become, safe in our little world, and immune to the trials and injuries of others?  Why do we feel we are any less obligated, that a Moses, or a Wallace, or a Christ, and many of the brave hearts who have dotted and challenged the status quo or their times, and stood for what is right, true, bold, and making men free?  What is our charge, our mission, our challenge, our call to duty?  Have you stepped outside your safety zone and wondered, am I one who is called, to rise out of the ashes of this life, the dust, the dirty mire that man is often in, over the ages, and called to bright light, beauty, love, freedom and goodness to a dark age?

Copernicus, Galileo, Columbus

Early scientists, who were burned, hung, beheaded, called heretics, for believing something that the ignorant masses didn't believe.  They believed in the universe, in a solar system, or that the world revolved around the sun, not the sun around the world . . . they challenged the beliefs of the day, and called the earth round, instead of just going with the flow of mankind, who truly believed that the earth was flat.  Would we have the courage, the brave heart, to take on the powers of the day, and challenge the thoughts of the day, the ignorance of man, and fight for truth, no matter what the cost, our lives, if necessary?  Would we be strong enough, brave enough, to venture out into an ocean of incredible mass, to prove our point, and be able to convince a Queen, that we were right and it was worth her investing in our explorations and discoveries?  These people fought for freedom of thought, they wanted empirical science or proof, for their theories and ideas, contrary to all that had come before them . . . where would we be without these brave souls?

Sir Thomas Moore, Martin Luther's 96 Treatises on Gutenberg Chapel

A Man for All Seasons . . . someone who withstood the King's pressure to conform to his adulterous, murderous, longings for a son, who was founded in his beliefs and understandings of British law, as well as in the laws of God, and tried, first to persuade, then when that wouldn't work, did all in his power to convince the King through logic, scripture and common law, and finally, even at the begging of his family, wife, and others, to change his positions and beliefs, to save his own life, he could not do it . . . true to the core of who his is, one hell of a brave heart!  Or Martin Luther, standing up to the all powerful Catholic Church, and breaking with traditions, again with the mind of setting the people free from the purchase of indulgences and favors, sins, and traditions, believing that man is free to go directly to God, and not have a priest or a middle man, standing between him and his salvation, that Christ freely gave, through grace.  Taking his grievances, long before the 1st amendment, freedom of speech, and addressing grievances, with your government, who in those days, was pretty much one in the same with your religion.  These guys had guts, and set the stage for a modern and more workable Bible and translation of the Bible, one that many adhere to today, taking away power from the monks and clergy of the day, and putting power and salvation in the hands of the common man, empowering him, to call on the favor of the Lord and do mighty works in his name.

You will continually, notice the common theme of freeing the human mind, spirit, soul, body of these brave hearts!  Their focus was never on their own comfort, their own lives, their own families even, but what the freedoms might do for mankind in general, at great personal sacrifice on their own parts, losing, basically everything they had, including their own lives in necessary.

Joan of Arc . . . 19 Year Old French Girl . . . Led France to Victory

Lest, any of you think you are too young to heed the call to duty, Joan of Arc, was merely 19 years old, when she heard the voice of God, calling her to battle, dressed in armor, and I think, from memory, pretending to be a boy, because they would not let women fight in those days, barely do today, so she went in disguise, but she went none the less, and did what she was commanded by God to do, and freed France from its oppressive enemies.  I remember reading a history of my great, great-grandfather, Warren Snow Gardner, I think, who loved the founding fathers, and the U.S. Constitution, who vowed as a young man, at the age of 14, to be exact, that he would always, stand up for the rights of the oppressed and his own rights, that he valued so much, as per the Constitution!  At age 14, he met, Joseph Smith, the founder and first prophet of the Mormon Church, and he was so impressed with him, that he pledged his life to him, and became one of the Men in Between, as they became called, who stood between, the angry mobs, and the young prophet, who was tarred and feathered, and eventually murdered.

There were only five, personal body guards to the young prophet and his family, and my great-great-grandfather was one of them . . . he was one of the few, who were let in Joseph's house after the martyrdom of the prophet, and suffered greatly that he had not been around to save the prophet from the mobs, who killed him.  The good thing about the young, is that you are unencumbered, without families, wives, and children, husbands, and houses, and are free to fight for what you believe in, and you are able to totally dedicate yourselves to what you believe and want to happen.  There are master and doctoral thesis's written about my ancestor, and probably the most famous of the Men in Between, was Porter Rockwell, who gained fame, both in Mormon and Non-Mormon circles.  Joseph Smith, saved Porter from a bunch of bullies who followed him home from school.  Joseph told Porter, much like Samson of old, that if he never cut his hair, he would have magical powers!  Someone shot, Governor Boggs, of Illinois, I think, or Missouri, who put an extermination order out on Mormons, and Porter was blamed for the injury to the head . . . his defense, that nobody question, was, that had it been he, that shot the Governor, he would have been dead!  He was set free . . . allegedly he killed at least 80 men.

Modern Day Has No Lack of Heroes Also!

I remember reading in some magazine, about a Chinese, blind, lawyer, who was fighting for rights and freedoms and taking on his government . . . he was imprisoned for 4 years, without a hearing, and finally, he was released, only to start all over again fighting for the fffffffffrrrrrrreeeeeeedddddddoooooommmmmss of the Chinese people.  We have the young 17 year old activist from Hong Kong, who orchestrated the recent demonstration calling for the Chinese communists, to let, Hong Kong, who had been under British rule, for centuries, choose their own candidates for their upcoming elections, that they wanted to be more democratic, and closer to to the people.  These young college age, and other people, stood in streets, protested and blocked financial districts and did what they could to pressure the government of China to let them be democratic and chose their own leaders . . . it didn't happen, but things don't always go as planned, and I am sure that they are not going to just let this go, but will continue through non-violent means to try to get what they want, by way of a representative form of government.  I am sure that they followed in the foot steps of young, tech savvy Egyptians, who also petitioned their government and military for better representation and forms of government.

Just a few weeks ago, I cried as I read about, a Russian, freedom fighter, who was assassinated, just days before he was staging a large forum to redress grievances with the Russian government!  His death came, the day after my night of terror, with American government and their agents, in Missoula, chasing me for about 24 hours, and I am still feeling the effect, of what might be called assassination by poison.  I was saddened that it is the prophets, the brave hearts, the reformers, the eyes and ears of the masses, the voices, that are silenced!  As I was riding the bus, this morning, up to the library, in Butte, I think, I heard the news, that was low, up by the driver, but I think, that there is still an investigation, into the death of this man, long known for his fights for rights, liberties and freedoms of the Russian people!  I think his name was something like, Neymoid, or whatever, but a kindred spirit, from Russia!

Tank Man comes to mind, as I think of the struggles of the Chinese and Russians, under communist rule, and I am not judging their form of government, I do not know enough to judge, but history, and any oppressive regime, is something that I am not found of . . . freedom is the name of the game!  I am all about Patrick Henry, Give me liberty or give me death!  Making that statement as America entered into the Revolutionary War against the British Empire, well funded, well armed and the oppressors of the colonies!  Brave hearts of all ages, are cooler than hell to me.

Pres. John Kennedy, Bobby, Dr. Martin Luther King, Selma, Ferguson!

Just today, in the Independent Record, Helena, I think, whatever newspaper I read, there was a great article on Selma, Alabama, marking the march to the polling booths, taking on the cops, the sheriffs, segregation, prejudice, brutality, and death, called, Bloody Sunday . . . I guess that is tomorrow, where these fearless people, were bound and determined, that they were not going to be denied any of their rights to vote and exercise their freedoms, no matter what the cost, and cost there was . . . brave hearts!  The struggles are shocking, and the sheriff, to this day, said he doesn't regret or would he change the way he handled that day . . . he saw it as his duty and the way he read enforcing the law.  Who is to judge?

Today, at 2:00 p.m., here in the library, there is an artist, who took pictures of the boarded up storefront, during the riots in Ferguson, Missouri, this August, after a white police officer, shot and killed an unarmed 18 year old black boy, Michael Brown.  While Ferguson, and I owe you the great Apologia, kind of slammed Ferguson, with the world, watching, botched the demonstration of the way we can handled issues in this country; however, that was not the problems of the community, the black leaders, the protesters, that came by way of injustice from cops, prosecutors, the mayor and the governor . . . another article, with week, said that the Department of Justice, is demanding that Ferguson, start changing their police tactics, and stop racially profiling, and targeting blacks, in a discriminatory way.  So, folks, things have not changed much, there, but, the country has, as demonstrated by Butte Library, having a slide show, and then are community art project, to be displayed somewhere that will inspire, us here locally, to stop the discrimination, and treat everyone with the dignity and respect, freedom, liberties, rights and protections, that they are entitled to under our 14th amendment, and other provisions in the United States Constitutions.

I just wanted to note, that in this American system of government, there are three branches of government, the executive, the legislative and the judicial, all to provide a balance of power, between the three branches.  What I see is the problem with Ferguson, is that first, it was members of the executive branch who oversaw, the executive branch . . . all involved, were in the executive branch, where the cops, operate under the mayor, who was interviewed and didn't even see Ferguson as being racist, and that everything was okay, at least at first, if Mayor James Knowles . . . symbolic, know less . . . he was pretty much, walking reporters around, his own neighborhood, and stating that people are not prejudice at all, the cops don't target, and all is well in Ferguson!  Hear no evil, see no evil, speak no evil . . . put your head in the sand, even the Pussy Riot gals, can see the brutality from Russia!  Come on, this never should have happened!

Montana's Legislative Branch, Provided the Balance for the Executive Branch & the Cop Shootings!  In America, We Don't Do This!

The federal Department of Justice, is also in the executive branch of government, they work with the local,county and state governments, including their cops, all the time, in fact, many, U.S. Attorneys, work more closely with the local cops, than they do with their own federal cops!  So, you are asking the chickens to guard the chickens!  Cops, prosecutors, mayors and governor, are all in the same branch of government!  Where is your legislative and judicial branch?  By, passing a law, that cops have to be trained in Constitutional law, the Bill of Rights, and state provisions, the legislature, is basically, saying, we are taking this out of your hands, you are not going to judge yourselves, protect cops who kill, unjustifiably, and turn it over to internal affairs, or the prosecutors . . . all members of the same team, the ones who are allegedly suppose to be enforcing the laws . . . what laws are we talking about?  Surely not the ones, I am familiar with!  Cops don't get to be judge, jury and executioners on the streets, we have due process and equal protection of the laws!  

Somewhere along the line, all the branches of government got messed up together, and there was no balance, and not check on the powers of the executive branch . . . we cannot have that!  Also today, the legislature, were going to cut, some benefits to retired government employees or retirees . . . a judge, part of the judicial branch, jumped right in and said NO!  And overturned the legislature's bill.  This is the way it is suppose to work.  We all hate Citizens United, the U.S. Supreme Court's ruling, that corporations are people and they have a first amendment right to free speech, and money is speech . . . Congress and all state legislatures are trying to fix that dose of a case!  So that is how it is suppose to work . . . put a check on the powers that be.  A Texas Judge, just but the kibosh on President Obama's executive action to grant immigrants work permits, and other resident related protections, like taking away the fear of deportation!

We cannot let one branch of government go . . . give a man, or woman a little bit of power, and they will abuse it, give them absolute power, and they will abuse it absolutely!  We have a built in system of checks and balances, and for a damn good reason!

DON'T LIKE IT, ISIS IS RECRUITING! LOL! WHAT'S THE DIFF?

The Lazareth Effect--Don't Worry, He is Just Sleeping!

Yesterday, while I was breathlessly walking over from McDonald's to the bus stop across from the Butte Mall, and had a few minutes to catch my breath, and take a few minutes to gather some energy to get on the bus, I was looking over the movie listings, on the marque across the street.  I noticed the movie, The Lazareth Effect, and thought, now, that is one symbolic movie title for me.  If you will recall, you scriptorium's, that Mary and Martha were the sisters of Lazareth, and they believed him to be dead, and called Jesus to come and bring him back to life.  The sisters were a bit taken back by his casual and delayed heeding of their distressed pleas for help and healing on their brother's behalf.  They expressed their anxiety over his lackadaisical behavior and casual manner, in not taking them more serious that he had . . . he said, basically, relax, he is just asleep.  I thought of the analogous comparison between Jesus' response to Lazareth's sleep-like condition, being caught somewhere, safe, between life and death, and my own, state, feeling very much, caught between the continuum of life and death.

In my blog, yesterday, I mentioned that I felt like a fire breathing dragon, given the toxic taste, fire, and burning, down deep in my upper chest area, up my neck, and exiting out my mouth.  This morning, the creases in my neck, the age circles, like the ones on trees, where you can count their age by the circles, felt like crusted crepe paper, fried, or microwaved from the inside out!  My skin, I compared to a lizard's skin, generally soft and subtle, is rough, and bumpy, again reminding me of a bad sunburn.  There is a difference between a sunburn, from the sun's rays, and a burn that comes from under the skin, from somewhere inside of your body, like a chemical burn.  The two are very different in nature, and different in source, but in the end, look and feel much like the other.  I overheard Wendy, again today, second guessing me, and saying that I felt like I got poisoned and I must have had the flu, because she was up sick all night . . . obviously, she is blaming me for her sickness, LOL!  It is kind of the witch trial syndrome, if I sat by you, last night, watching the movie, you must have gotten me sick, not to mention, that I haven't talked to her, been gone all day, regardless of the way I felt, and haven't hung out with her at all!  Whatever!

When You Say, You Have Flu Like Symptoms . . . That Doesn't Mean That You Have the Flu!  It Means the Symptoms Are Similar!

I told you about Castor Seeds, sometimes referred to as beans, that contain, Racine in them, and can be fatal.  I looked up wiki on the plant, and these are the traits: nausea, diarrhea, tachycardia, burning sensation in mouth and throat, hypo tension seizures, abdominal pain, purging and bloody diarrhea, severe dehydration, drop in blood pressure, and decrease in fluid, and death can be expected to occur within 3 to 5 days.  Now, if someone had not put two and two together, and just thought they felt sick, they would most likely attribute these symptoms to the flu . . . being very similar in nature, while different to some extent.  I very definitely had a burning in my throat and mouth, dry mouth to the bone, chalky and with a toxic, sickening taste.  I had abdominal pains, and felt the urge to purge . . . dry heaving, trying to get whatever was in me out, in fact, the symptoms reminded me of being pregnant, and having morning sickness, because of the noxious taste in my mouth.

The really strange thing, was actually, the burning sensation, that made it look, like I had been sun burned, but with spots of flesh, not touched by color, and leaving my skin, raised, bumpy, hard, crusty, and very different from my normal skin texture.  Two nights in a row, the burning took place, and the redness, blotchy look, and bumps persisted.  I felt like I had a fever in my neck, most of all.  So, while I felt terrible, I had some symptoms that are never attributed to the flu!  And, one might think, that if poisoned, the body would react, very much this way.  You are taking foreign chemicals into your body, and that might produce the burning from within, and much like a microwave, started from deep inside and worked its way out, being compared more to the way a fever would act, without outside stimulus, but with the source, being the body itself, rather than some outside agent, as was the case here.  Anyway, some strange shit going on, and simple minds are not worth trying to distinguish flu type symptoms, from more extensive symptoms . . . Wendy is influenced by whatever sources are either feeding her bull shit, and she won't believe anything anyway, or she is being paid for trying to discredit whatever I say . . . either way, she is not worth convincing and I don't care enough to try!  Whether anyone believes me on this or on anything else is irrelevant to my life . . . I am who I am, I had what I had, and I have done what I have done, and I don't need a cheering section, or anyone else to validate what I say, especially, someone like WENDY!

Anyway, I don't mean to be a drama queen, and dwell on my health, but I did want people to realize that there are agents and chemicals, even naturally growing plants, that can hurt you and cause you pain and even death.  Do, not be so naive, to think, that people can't find a motive to kill you, and one for much less than the ones who want me dead!  Arsenic and Racine, have been around for a long time, and often go undetected in some one's body, oderless, tasteless, and can even fool a coroner and crime lab!  Really, the only hands you can trust, are the ones at the end of your arms!  God, warns us, do not put your trust in the arm of flesh!  And why do you think that is?  Because, they fucking can't be trusted.  They are given to envy, jealousy, greed, pride, lust, avarice, anger, desires, hatred and all kinds of other things.  I am sure the people who are doing this to me, family, in particular, think they are saving the world, from people like me!  LOL!  They like what I say, but my lifestyle . . . scream!  They, like Wendy, are too simple minded to explain, that the world is full of paradoxes, complexities, oxymoron's, and duplicities!  

Things just simply put, are just not black and white, generally!

Sectarian Believing People, See Divisions Between the Sons of Darkness and the Sons of Light . . . And Nothing In Between; The Haves and the Have Nots; It is Us, or it is Them!  ISIS!

This month, in The Atlantic Magazine, March 2015, issue, there is a great article, on What Is It That ISIS Wants?  It makes several suggestions, from returning to the power and glory of the Ottoman Empire, with the Caliphates, the religious leaders, controlling both issues of church and state . . . like Mormon Utah!  They want you and I to believe as they do, and there is not room for deviations, our way or your head!  But the thing that kills me, is that after all the beheading, the murders, the amputations, the burnings, and all is said and done, taxing Christians, etc., and going to war, a jihads war, or holy war, against the rest of us, they are going to turn to, none other than, JESUS CHRIST, their second most revered prophet or teacher, even redeemer, and he is going to save them?  So, what in the hell is all this fuss about?  We basically believe in the same redeemer, savior, and person who is going to save us from our sins, and you, ISIS have a shit load, you are going to be needing forgiveness from . . . my enemies included!

In the book, I have been referring to recently, On Compromises and Rotten Compromises, the political extreme right, have religious overtones to their self-righteous fervor, that is not unlike, these extremists, in ISIS, or in other Mid-Eastern societies, that believe it their duty to convert the world, to their way of thinking!  They do not trust or believe that people can worship as they please and still be saved, forgiven and be righteous, while Christ did way with the law, the Sharia Law, the Law of Moses, the eye for an eye, cutting off the hand that steals, and deals more with the inner man, the personal perfection of the soul, through, forgiveness and his sacrifice for us!

Much like the similarities between, the flu and flu like symptoms, there are similarities here too, while different, similar to some extent.  A religious cult like ISIS, who is even being shunned from Islam and their religious leaders, alike, the numbers don't matter!  Whether 20,000 ISIS recruits, or 1% Mormons, that doesn't matter, if they see their calling to save the world!  God will make up the difference and he will take if from there.  They see it that they are Called to Duty, right or wrong, they are going to save all of us, slackers, those who think differently, and those who, like a liberal, are accused of  having no moral base, and they see our belief systems at relative, not firm, and therefore, we don't believe in anything.  This is what makes in so hard, these days, for Republicans to even get along with other alleged Republicans, and reach across the isle in their own party, let alone, reach way across the isle to those heathens, those heretics, who simply, have no moral foundation whatsoever, and that is why they can compromise, and reach across the isle!  LOL!

The Rudy Giuliani Fiasco . . . Obama Doesn't Love America; He Doesn't Love Me & You; And We Wonder If He Is Even Christian?

This is much what I am talking about . . . the so called, liberals, are seen as lacking that something that makes them like you and I, that steadfast moral standing, that flag waving patriotism, that we have, and that leads us to ask, if someone who is a moral relativist, is even a Christian?  Can you see the division, the schemata, that is being formed, the you vs. us, mentality . . . we are not the same.  I would suggest, that groups, like ISIS, the Tea Party, Mormons, and others who have this mentality, are much more alike, than their fellow countrymen and women, who think in the less extreme areas, and see us all as Americans, Christians, patriots, and on the same side.  They just can't do this, because, they have that need to judge for us, that call to save us, and they are saved and we are fallen, regardless of what Christ can do, or what we have done, that would negate us from being considered a Christian, kind of like poisoning me, twice now!

We have seen cartoons, of the beheading, the amputations, the burnings, the slaughter of the innocent by ISIS, and this is God's command?  If Mohamed and Joseph Smith, are on the right hand of God, that leaves Jesus Christ on the left hand, but hat is not what Christ tells the Mother of the Sons' of Zebedee, who when she requests that her sons be on the right hand of God, and Jesus answers and says, have than done all that I have done?  Well, yes.  Really?  And he goes on to say, It is not mine to give, but my Father who hath sent me!  I just find it so ironic, that the very people, who are the worst, claim to be the one's saving us?  That they are called from God, to this holy mission, war, to bring us to our knees, until we believe like they do!  AMAZING!

KEY: Moderation in All Things!

Social scientists, have, through studying, found that the more extreme, the less the I.Q., or level of intelligence . . . there is not room for discussion, for debate, for a middle ground, for compromise, for alternative lifestyles, and they, being the mouth pieces of God, allegedly, are the ones chosen to be the judge, jury and executioners of God's will and desires!  Now, where that authority comes from?  But, Christ did away with the restrictive laws of the Old Testament, and brought a New Testament . . . that he is very much a part of, even for ISIS, but first, you are to live like he did.  I think one of the stories that most exemplifies this, is the woman, who comes to Jesus, and brings him perfumes, and washes his feet with her hair.  Jesus' disciples, is shocked that he doesn't turn this woman away, a prostitute.  And as Jesus does best, he uses an analogy . . . if a man, owes another man, 10,000 shekels, and his Lord or the man, he owes, forgives him of that amount of debt, does not the man he forgives, most, love Jesus or the Lord best, or better than the one, who is only forgiven 1,000 shekels?  Now that is logic . . . of course, the person who is forgiven the most, will not only love the master the most, but will be the most grateful! 

So, while the extremists, thinking they are the chosen, the called, the favored of the Lord, or of the right winged extremists, and consider themselves as having no sins, or no ways that need to be changed, and they are going to judge and fix the rest of us, are really the ones who appreciate what they are given, of have the least, seeing, no need for freedoms, for liberties, rights, or privileges!  Let's take Hispanics, who are trying to get into this country for what it has to offer their children, by way of the American dream . . . do you not think, that those who have been under, corrupt regimes, do not most appreciate a semi or less corrupt, political system?  Those who come to this country seeking political and religious asylum, the right to practice their religion or some other religion as they please, or to speak out about their political beliefs, don't you think they value these rights and freedoms more than you do yourself, having always had them? 

The United States Constitution, is moderate, is a compromise, values and protects the minority, and is the instrument to bring about a more perfect union . . . it doesn't deal in the extremes, but in the common welfare, general defense, justice for all, prosperity for me and my posterity . . . etc.  Are we not amiss, if we, ourselves, are in the extremes?  

Big Difference Between a Secularist & a Sectarian . . . One Lays Their Religion Down and Leaves It At the Door, To Work For The Good of the Whole--The Other Insists that the Whole See Things  Their Way!  The Founding Fathers Were Secularists!  Religion was Religion & State was State!

I Here ISIS Is Recruiting--Sectarians!
