Hall of Shame

This page is dedicated to those who’ve participated in the federal “color of law” disinformation campaign that, with the same effectiveness of the FBI’s COINTELPRO “snitch-jacketing” of the Sixties,
has not only obviated my civil and constitutional rights but too those of women near and dear to me–such as my college sweetheart, Ms. Amy Linn, who was lured to a meeting with the infamous Lissa Tyler Renaud, then kidnapped, held for ransom, raped/tortured and then, even though her father Bob paid the ransom to the Black Muslim Bakery thugs as demanded, brutally murdered… (circa 1991, well before any agent provacateur generated “controversies” about me were propagated)

Speaking of the latter, in no way have I ever used the “n” word in a racist or hate-mongering manner, nor have I ever been convicted of any such crime–as my fiction shows, when present it’s for artistic reasons and, in my humble view, helps bring some of Aristotle’s “energia” to the thorny issues of “race” and “racism.” As I was denied a fair trial in the matter of the deliberately and knowingly false statements one “Angela/Michelle Piquot” made alleging complete fabrications well over a decade ago (the judge, in a “probation violation hearing,” denied me exculpatory evidence, including a UC Parking Attendant on duty less than twenty yards from where Ms. Piquot claimed to be the locus operandi on campus–the attendant told a UCPD Officer that he heard “nothing out of the ordinary” that quiet, winter break night–and a Chinese-American student couple who witnessed Ms. Piquot, angrily yelling at me that “you have no right to be here!” as I was finishing a pay phone conversation in the lobby of Evans Hall, then aggressively followed me, still screaming, and kind of brandished her pocketbook in such a bizarre way that both I and the student couple thought that she had a gun she was going to produce and use) well all I can say is that Justice, like “Outrage [...] isn’t a matter of black and white. It’s a matter of right and wrong”…With a word to the wise that those who continue to violate not only my civil rights but too those of the females with whom I associate will have most likely violated the plea-bargain” whitewashing they received as “confidential informants” in “internal affairs hearings,” matters to which I was denied any input–as I have no relationship whatsoever with the “informant/handler” police business–but nonetheless matters in which I can “call in a few markers” as favors owed to me and make public some Complete Insanity in Action that not only let these criminally-insane miscreants get away with murder! but too covered up for it by giving these bozos new “public persona” identities–complete with fabricated backgrounds, “work histories” and “references”…

Summaries of the miscreant’s Claim to Shame appear in between the Flames of Dante’s Inferno. Focus is on those who’ve misappropriated my “life story” & intellectual property. The concept is one derived by an old friend, B.B., who put together a similar page for a UC Berkeley PhD. candidate who had much of his original research and artwork on the Mayan civilization misappropriated by some well-known “academians.” When he complained, his PhD adviser (Cultural Anthropology) termed his thesis “unacceptable” and had him boycotted at various teaching posts to which he’d applied.

Featured here will be the FBI’s “William Robert Sullivan,” a.k.a. “Ken Beard,” who, in the grand old tradition started by J.Edgar Hoover himself, was given an “Irish sounding cover name” to through off anybody to the fact that he (or she) is African-American. In search of inheritances due to me Mr. Beard attempted an “identity theft” of myself as “Tom Noonan” and attempted, albeit unsuccessfully, to convince the UC campus that he had been the tutor of Shakespeare and Creative Writing courses at the Athletic Study Center, circa 1989-90 and that I was a “whi boy ripping off my story.” Not only did he get “beat to the punch” by “The Three Stooges,” my “Nazi Aunts” and my siblings claiming to be my brother and sisters on the inheritances, but too lost out in the “Steal the Screenplay (my original “City of Nights”)” Irish Sweepstakes–to the aforementioned Herr Renaud, her lunkhead alleged relative Hosie/Hozay/Jose Canseco (a,k,a, the one and only “little Jonnie the World Famous Child Molester” who got his start in such an auspicious career quite young at his Unkah Jed’s Ok-ee-homa farm mouting cows, sheep, relatives, etc.) , the guy they call “Daddy, Daddy!” (Dickie Reston, “Tommie Twetten,” a career Army man outta Norman Oklahoma who, as a CIA case officer, ground out the gears on some nasty “state-sponsored terrorism” in the Middle East and London for the right-wingers in the vampire caves deep beneath the Washington Beltway and buried in the bowels of Langley… Others involved included a well-known African-American “director,” who, attempting to steal my script and get away with it just as he’d done with several of “his” previous projects, tried to “play the race card” in just the same damn ignorant way…

UCPD’S ADAN TEJADA: (in one of his “undercover roles”…). If this guy had violated my civil & constitutional rights in the same exact way as he’s arrogantly assumed he has the right to do in the days of the old “Deep South” (i.e., as one of the fat, lazy “Bubba’s sittin’ round the pickle barrel and discussing how “this one’s [or that one's] gettin uppity, time to teach the boy a lesson!” why, I am sure that he wouldn’t be commended for “public service” but most likely jumped by a buncha hoodies in the night and taught some respect…

Herr Lissa Tyler Renaud, in a previous incarnation as Magda Goebbels…Ms. Renaud /Linda Reston/a.k.a. “Lisa Baxter” (one of her many misappropriated identities) is a multiple-personality allegedly, like her relative Hosie, “under a doctor’s care”…So, every time she commits one of her serious felonies, she gets off the hooksie! Her alleged ties to the “Royal Shakespeare Company,” London, originate from the identity/acting credentials of her former girlfriend, “Lisa Baxter”…As “Pamela Highet” she conned Chico State into hiring her as a creative writing instructor–armed with mine own poetry & short stories…

(More to follow)

By the way, my information and belief has it that Herr Renaud is headed back to the criminally-insane institution that should never have sprung her, some years ago, when she butchers-cur-knife Psycho’d her LA lesbian lover to death for the thought crime of “spreading her legs for a man”…(Res Gestae Rule of Evidence). Something about attempting to interfere with my civil and constitutional rights involving Fair Housing, I believe…

Another “Claim to Shame”that will haunt ole Magda Goebbels (oopssie! I mean Herr Ick-ahh dahlink Tyler Renaud) is her all too active participation in the “unofficial secret press conferences” of the neo-Nazi “Rainbow Coalition.” these attempts at “reinventing” the Dharma only wound up with what Redd Foxx might have called the dummah, dummy! She was also prone to breaking out in song at these nefarious events of a decade or so ago–L- O -O -N -E -Y…T -U- N- E -S!… that’s right! (sung to the old Mousekateers “Micky Mouse”).

What’s going to really get her girdle in a bunchie is how she’s connected–as the head pimpess-to actual street thugs like the Loony Tunes in Oaktown…Oh Wellsiee!

By the way, if you look at “her” website, you will notice several immediate discrpancies in the images presented…

http://www.interarts-training.org/picture_gallery.htm

First off, the woman with the Celtic nose and high cheekbones is not Elvira–a hill-Bubba from Norman (Norman Bates) Oklahoma…

Look how graceful and beautiful the woman’s back is in the pictures and you will see the real woman behind the talent–that Herr Renaud murdered in a fit of jealous rage…

Now you know why the Royal Shakespeare Co. has indeed heard of “Lisa Baxter,” the woman whose credentials Elvira stole, but do not have a clue as to who “Lissa Tyler Renaud” is…

By the way, after Herrr Renaud was instrumental in setting up my sweetheart Amy Linn for capture, she had the audacity to pose as her after her involvement with her murder (Don’t worry, she already pleaded guilty by reason of insanity like, drumroll please, Herr’s Spike Lee and Jesse Jackson, Jopse Canseco, Dale Schmidt, and even ole Wendell Taylor…)

Make my day, “off” Tejada, and challenge me about anything…(Taxpayers gotta be getting tired of fat lazy slugs like you raking in all that overtime….)

No wonder that Gov. Ah-nold wants to re-examine how “I’m under a doctor’s [i.e., R.L. MIller, a.ka.a Dr. Mengele and is riding crop] care and supervision!” gets criminally insane miscreants off the hook (note: Bey the Balaam the IV told his miscreants to be as “crazy” as possible and, like their pals Hosie, a.k.a. Hozay, Dalie, Lissa and Wendell Taylor toosies! , they’d get off da hook…

Now, after gazing upon “Elvira,” in all her Wicca/Kitchen Witch/Old Crone/
Vampire glory (working for the CIA, by the way!), do you really think that I do not somehow know how she plays, straight out of the “Operation Paperclip” Nazi/Cia spay/spie/book, “disease warfare” against me??? My body has not succombed, though each day I am iin great pain–as the Karmapa and our other legitimate Rinpoches are…

So here’s the scene, you be the JUDGE:
Newman Center, UC Berkeley’s “Catholic” center, with “Father Fitz” the pedophile (grand old Nazi tradition, like the current “Pope” presiding over a meal where a “caregiver” named “Terri” SLIPS EM A SIDE OF POISONED HAM!!! (get it, they’re PIGGIES!)from “WaLNUT CREEK” (32 Edgemont Circle, Wendell Taylor, DEA discredited informant, like Dale Schmidt, his “best buttfuck buddie,” LOL, A.K.A. Alexxjandro, the Nazi who tortuerd Sister Ortiz in Latin America for the DEA…and comes home to fame & fortune! Damn, aIN’T AMERICA GRAND!!!

So I don’t claim to be “clever” but I know damn well how it be going down…For nearly twenty years, going back to Wendy Georges of the BEFP (and her Chinese lesbian lover, who in a deja ju if there ever was one, ripped off poor people’s food budget for $400,000 and got hired onto the City of Berkeley (probably a Prius,too, with a credit card an license to tell anybody applying for assistance, like BHA & City of Oakland/SF employees, “fuck off, I’m gorging at da trough”…,) yeah this shit been going on for nearly twenty years and my body is in great pain every morning, but like the Vet’s getting home from Vietnam/IRAQ/IRAN, WHATEVER, AIN’T NOBODY HERE IN SHEEPLE LAND GIVES A SHIT…

But I know damn well how you doing it , wicca/kitchen witch/ and one day, SOON, you gonna pay with your miscreant life (by your own boss-bitch’es, legitimate authority, orders…)

I’ve recommended military tribunal/firing squads for this “domestic terrorism” (Pay attention, boysies & girlsie, you’ll hear it again), but I don’t think even that nudge toward Due Process gonna carry much weight…(Perhaps now you see why
Barack said we “need to do our own housekeeping…”

Hosie Canseco in his prime. (right)..The one & only “little Jonnie, the world-famous child molester,” with whom my entire “life story” was switcheroo’d as a “joke” (albeit under “color of law” his “Daddy, Daddy,” former Army “intelligence” officer Dickie Poo Reston (a.k.a. Tommie Twetten) & the lunkhead/locker room snitch/coked-steroided-out Hosie’s “good Docter,” Herr Richard Louis Miller of “CokeEnder’s” notoriety (somehow the “confidential” files of celebrity female patients of his found their mischievous way into the dirty hands of lowlife street drug task force informants, who, supplied with some nice clothes and a cool pimp my ride, palmed theirselves off as various “important” folks and abused these women greatly…Ole Hosie is even an idiot enough to claim that he’s a “CIA assassin” with a “pro baseball career” as his cover–allegedly a “major motion picture” headed your way…Unless, of course, the numerous and specific “hate crime/misogynistic” felonies he, as a Fort Reno DEA “star informant’ (see the 10/28/07 SF Chron for res gestae relevance) and his Latin America DEA death squad buddy, Dalie “Doo Doo” Schmidt committed for years on end land him in some place like Pelican Bay for life–not only where he belongs but too so that he, like his fellow women-hating snitchjackets, can be taught how to be a propah</i? BEE-YATCH by some 400 pound fellow Neanderthal called Buford…

ADDENDUM: 12/10/07:

Perhaps you read the news today, oh boy, in which some of the Dummykins are finally expressing “outrage” over these vajra lessons of compassion making headlines as waterboarding of “terrorists”…I.e., Hosie Redux, the CIA’s Op Dir plantation houseboy who, ala Nixon Redux (see Hillary, above), destroyed hundreds of hours of tapes of victimization…(the reason why, boysies & girlsies, is the sheer Machiavellian delight the tormenters took in issuing these vajra lessons of compassion!)

Maybe all you Pavlovian dawgs finally gonna gets off it about these vajra lessons of compassion when you have the newsprint put right in your doo-dooing little pups faces–bad boy/girl! These torture lessons of absolute lunacy were INVENTED BY BUSH THE ELDER YOU GALLDAMN PIECE OF FECES!!!!! Back when he was just Reagan’s Sorcerer Apprentice…

Now, do you dumb ferks really want four more years of “Empire Not Liberty” under Hillary da Hun???

As this Jose whomever flunkie was put into this position–without any qualifications for such a sensitive post–you see why now harpeth Hillary, a CIA flunkie herself, like Bubba too (hand-picked by Bush the Elder to be, ala Seutonis’s Reign of the Twelve Caesars, the next Prez! back when the Elder Shrub was just Reagan’s Sorcerer’s Apprentice…and the Clintons were working Texas for the “Democrats”)…as this handpicked by Twetten the Agent Provocateur Pirate Puerto Rican stooge (remembering, that Jose the World Famous Child Molester Canseco resulted from ole Twetten raping a Puerto Rican office maid while on one of his cushy Cuban/Puerto Rico “afternooner” do nothing assignments…and out popped ole Hosie with the same chip off the old block demonic DNA…)…

as this complete shit-for-brain has ruthlessly “taught a lesson” to any dissent in the Op Dir over the past thirty years–and getting to claim he’s a “Hollywood Star,” why all he’s gots ta do is act naturally! as John Lennon might have sung if these bozos hadn’t eliminated him as too much competition…

as I’m oft criticized as too hard on the Dummykins, why here’s some real bad news for the Replutocrats…

Everybody happy now? If you need me to further connect the dots, most likely I’ll be too busy with the mundane issues of survival under extreme enemy fire, but maybe yous can figger out outs for yer selves (without having to call out, in complete panic, like Hosie & Ickkkah, fer Unka Jed!!!)

THE MODERN DAY ORIGINATOR OF THE VAJRA LESSON OF COMPASSION, (left)

other comtempararies of this miscreant include:
Joseph Stalin & his psy-op gulag-of-Exile
Chairman Mao and his razorback hogs in the trough “Cultural Revolution”
Historical precursors too numerous to mention, but include “Vlad the Impaler,” a medieval little boy who had his troops ritually sodomize his political opponents, after which he’d impale the poor fool, through his rectum, on a sharpened wooden pole–therein left to bleed to death…
The little girlsies, of course, are not left out, and include “Queen” Elizabeth, founder of the modern-day “plantation” and its attendant state of exile for poets and players like Shakespeare–an odious system emanating still, through color of law fustilugs, politicians & “media celebrities” from the old and decrepit bowels of Langley, VA

Shorty,” the clown on the right, is a well-known Hollywood “auteur” who’s stolen scripts not only from myself (“City of Nights,” about my hacking the mean streets of Oaktown at night–after attempting for several years to shoot it outright, despite losing in federal court on copyright infringement, ole Shorty had some “Jew in Hollywood” bowdlerize it into a Showtime movie) but too others–such as an African-American woman from Manhattan and an Italian-American from Brooklyn…With the assistance of my former professor of Afro-American Studies at Cal, Albert Johnson, Shorty went from “well, I got a better known actor in mind” (as to why the lead role, written by me and for me, would go to another) to “wassa whi boy doing writin bout life in da hood, anyway?” (i.e., out right thievery) to “we gots ta teach that boy a lesson” (which he did with the aid of his plantation bossman, “po boy Willie & the FBI)…Other claims to shame by Shorty include: spending most of a “teaching fellowship” at Harvard gettin stoned in the Rat and having his Black Muslim “bodyguards” fetch “blondies” for him as sexual chattel (vajra lesson of compassion!)…You might remember, if you’ve ever bothered with history, that Hitler called his German Shepard “Blondie”…

Last but not least on his ticket to The Inferno is his participation in the gang-bang by his “crew” of an actress in a film his company did on the UC Campus…

Hasta la vista, Shortie! And no, you little crackhead geek, you did NOT write my hoop story, “Some Kind of Grace,” and you ain’t never set foot in any kind of hood outside your scion of privilege upbringing–let alone Oaktown, where I lived and worked for seven years or so, able to drive anywhere, in any hood, without anybody even thinkin bout bothering me–and you don’t know shit about basketball. The fact that the Knicks let you sit courtside don’t erase how yous just a disgrace to the human race…

JUDAS IN HIS PRIME (above)

Shorty’s plantation-gulag-bossman, “Little Lloyd,” an alleged relative of a former FBI Director and closely allied with po’ boy Willie, another former FBI Director…Still runs a battalion of fustilugs whose sole purpose in life is to obviate the civil and constitutional rights (especially the Right to Associate, once termed a “First Amendment penumbra” by a federal court in a lawsuit brought by the NAACP) of the “competition,” e.g., straight, white, talented, hard-working guys like myself under color-of-law…

The above miscreant also has been the bossman of “T.J.” (right), who, after a “dirty hands” start as an Ark-ee-saw State Trooper, supposedly is the FBI “security double” for a well-known carpetbagger posing as a “political leader”…(more on this miscreant later)

This section, under construction, is for ole “T.J.,” the FBI/CIA stand-in for one “Jesse Jackson.” Allegedly a “Rev.,” this matter, like just about everything else in this pathological liar’s life, is mish-taken! Jesse, back when he was only 5’9″ and an effeminate little geek, never completed seminary school. When he went through several “gov.t modifications,” from a 6′ 1″ man of French-Algerian descent, and then, currently to ole TJ, the former Ark-ee-saw State Trooper who usta stand guard for Bubba Bill’s rape scenarios of various deluded females (it’s what gets the good ole boy off), who is about 6’3″ and some forty to sixty pounds fatter than the original “Jesse,” another one of the too numerous to keep track of resume falsifications occured with “Jesse” somehow now having been a star college running back (!!! ???)…

Anyway, like my Grandfather Noonan’s patron, John L. Sullivan, I’m commencing a bare-knuckle’d takedown of this race-racketeer, poverty-pimp, compulsive thief, misappropriator of others intllectual property, cultural and spiritual heritages…(The italicized terms are already in well-worn usage, based on “Jesse’s” Res Gestae, but I will add some highly personal matters in which the miscreant has, using his CIA/FBI plantation gulag “color of state law” house negra status, plagued my life for the last fifteen to twenty years (kina like being gfiven an illegal per se indeterminate prison sentence where you’ve had no judge, no jury, no official prosecutor, and, most importanty, no actual facts, ma’am–just some cocksucker’s personal paranoia projected, due to a cultural/personal inferiority complex, onto his/her betters …

John L. Sullivan, an Irishman in good standing, was the undisputed bare knuckle boxing heavyweight champion of the world. His last title defense went 75 rounds, and he alos fought a successful bout in Jamaican heat–over 113 rounds and five & one-half hours. My Grandfather, Thomsa Joseph Noonan, was, as a lad, one of his stablehands for the fleet of race horses he maintained and became one of the first Irish-Americans to receive an Advanced degree (MIT, Masters in Mechanical Engineering) due completely to Mr. Sullivan’s largesse…

When Sullivan retired, he bacame a temperance advocate but still had the heart and courage to write a full-page editorial in defense of the peckerwood-head-beleagured fellow heavyweight Jack Johnson. (In case you can’t figure it out, in those days that was an act that, according to the norms, white folks just don’t do…

[Round One to follow...]

“Lepidus,” below, is remembered historically as Pompey’s step & fetchit when the former recruited, trained and financed a plague of pirates in the Mediterranean Sea…Of course then becoming the one then paid good mercenary talents to eradicate his handiwork–albeit quite unsuccessfully…Having learned nothing from his experience in the Roman Empire Triumvirate ( with Thurinus, the “tow-headed brat,” a.k.a. “Augustus Caesar”) and the noble but tragic Mark Anthony), Lepidus has been and still is up to the “same old shit” as head of the geek wing of the bowels of Langley, VA…Of course commanding his own battalion of fustilugs up to the same nonsense as Little Lloyd’s in the taxpayer-paid process…

Dumbo (right) and all the other suckers–whether Replutocrat or Dummykin–who believe that some bardo state called gay or gonesie! has any existence save from the befuddled and clouded dysfunctional brains of the fishie-witches and their bizzarely evil state-sponsored cult…This lifetime, when they wind up in the real Bardo To Be, each will get one’s just desserts…Ciao, baby!

In the meantime, form a lemming line and Follow the Dumbo!…

“NIXON REDUX”(above)

This candidate, not content with having unleashed a torrent of psychotic abuse against perceived “enemies” the last time she was in the White House, is back up to her same olde, same olde tricksies! (As she and her girlsies! toosies! like to say, It’s SO much FUN!)…Not a betting man, I would nonetheless wager that one of the batallion of fustilugs that has sworn allegiance to her (but most certainly NOT our Constitutuion or Bill of Rights) had something to do with the mysterious break-in and theft of key laptops (somebody on the inside, too, knew just which ones to take…) from Barack Obama’s campaign headquarters…

Remembering that she grew up in an IRS, Goldwater advocates household (ever see her college pictures with those coke-bottle eyeglasses–being blind as a bat is often a curse for those who profit through what the IRS calls its “fink division,” i.e., the snitch gets fifty percent of the take ), I was not really surprised at the way her fustilugs, over the past coupla decade or so, infiltrated and pretty much took over my Tibetan Buddhist sanghas that, at one time, revered Chogyam Trungpa as a Rinpoche…(Now, of course, he’s been “re-invented” as a drunk & womanizer! The same gender fascists outraged Rinpoches worldwide when a “Scottish” one of them claimed that kind, old Kalu Rinpoche had “sexually abused” her…)

By the way, if you want to see how desperate her & hubby are to get back at abusing the reins of power in the White House, try googling “Bubba XXX”…Seems that somebody remembered to bring his knee pads, as requested of him, for “Hillbilly Weekend” at the annual Bohemian Club retreat…Fully earned the initiated nicknames of “Chuckles” & “Bubbles” (depending on which end was doing the servicing)…As one political hack commented on the Clintons, they were always good at “triangulating”…Well,I’m wont to disagree (see post), but I gotta admit if you got the Log Cabins lined up at one port and the Mark Leno’s & Tom Ammiato’s drooling in queue at the other, why I guess you gots one of them there triangles according to Aristotle’s principles…

Where the term has proper origin is debatable, of course, but one of the first known usages was with the Essenes in Alexandria, ancient Egypt. The term meant running a received piece of intelligence past two assets with opposing or different viewpoints. If both confirmed, you knew you had some Truth with which to work…These mundane matters of reality are, as we all know by now, far beneath the snake-tongued Clintons…

One last item. You may or may not know that Hillary claims to be the titular head of the “lesbian [Ku Klux] Klan,” i.e., what I call the “fustilug battalion.” Many of her minions claim that she herself presided over more than a few “takedowns” of prominent females she somehow had on her “enemies list.” At ritzy places like Berkeley’s Chez Panisse, these brutal sodomizations and humiliations of women were accompanied by haute ordeuvres, bottles of Plumpjack (“so cinnamony”) wine, and raucous laughter–as it was all so much funsie!

At one of these pah-ties, in the Kensington, a woman drugged to the point of being comatose was subjected to Huck-Huck’s pal from Ark-ee-saw, ole “T.J.,” getting a blowtorch and scorching the backs of her legs to “warm the ho up for the Chief”…

(And I’m left puzzled: you mean I had to give up my seat at the so-called leadership Round Table for this “womyn,” a “breeder” hating witch named Kundrie?)

ADDENDUM: (Nov. 21, 2007)

Check out Maureen Dowd’s Op-Ed piece in today’s NYT: [excerpts follow]:

“Her Democratic rivals had meekly gone along, accepting her self-portraitas a former co-president who gets to take credit for everything important Bill Clinton did in the ’90′s. But she was not elected or appointed to a position that needed Senate confirmation. And the part of the Clinton administration that worked best–the economy, stupid!–was run by Robert Rubin [a woman from Cal was also part of that team]. Hillary did not show good judgement in her areas of influence–the legal fiefdom, health care and running oppo-campaigns aginst Bill’s galpals…

“She was a top adviser who had a Nixonian bent for secrecy and a knack for hard-core politicking…

“‘She hasn’t accomplished anything on her own since getting admitted to Yale Law School,’ wrote Joan Di Cola, a Boston lawyer, in a letter to the Wall Strret Journal this week, adding:’She isn’t Dianne Feinstein, who spent years as mayor of San Francisco before becoming a senator, or Nancy Pelosi, who became Madam Speaker on the strength of her political abilities’…”

‘Nuff said

[Full Disclosure: Ms. Dowd is well-acquainted with myself and Ms. Amy Linn--called "Front Page Amy" in her Daily Cal days, a matter that Chancellor Chang-Lin Tien rediscovered, poring over the microfichs in Doe...(The "new guy," Chancellor Berdahl, is the History buff who certified my Native American roots as accurate: An important "female" relative of the legend, Hunkpapa Chief Sitting Bull, was my forebearer through my Boston Brahmin ancestor, McNenny (hey, what's so funny about John Kerry and peace, love and windsurfing?) , the "Hanging Judge of Deadwood, South Dakota, circa Wild West 1870's, who gave her shelter from the storm when the BIA assassinated Sitting Bull...]

Stories? I got a million of them, and, sad to say, they’re all true… In the meantime, my car broke down, and I called Triple AAA…Well, they showed all right, but they towed me instead…(snare drum roll, high hat cymbal)…I tell ya, I can’t get no respetto…

ADDENDUM: 12/5/07:

MAN, I READ THE NEWS TODAY OH BOY…

Hillary talking nonsense ’bout Barack becaue he had it in his head as a young man to go for the best?!?

Now, I don’t want to be the ONE to remind yous’all for the upteenth time how the NEO-PLANTATION works; see, Hillary, seh’d l;ike “Queen” Elizabeth of S’s time–she dishes out favors to snitches and lowlives who do “favors” for her…so yas got an entire media system, at this late date, befould with her yellow beast contagion (to be fair, Herr Gore/Goebbels done con tirbuted plenty by “reinventing” creative artists as “content providers” who’ll be happy just to be seen….

Well, I don’t know about you, but I ain’t ever been a good house nigga-and that’s what yous gonna get with these bubba-revanche fools and their Earl Schieb’s 99 different colors of step&fetchit!

Don’t say I didn’t warn you: by the way,

The six trailer park bubba’s (not even a “doublewide,” take note, let alone a “triplewide” like Bubba and the other Ar-kee-saw Guv’s had) in Charleston, West VA (right) who tormented a black woman in a most vile and evil subhuman way…(Perhaps they’re related, somewhere back in time, to fellow misogynists like Yusef Bay the Elder and all his criminal offspring…This personality disorder seems to strike, it must be noted, with alarming frequency among those who, despite the lack of any scientific standards, proudly proclaim their “racial purity” (I.e., a diminished DNA pool from which to select makes one prone to being a Cultural Mongoloid)…

And shame on the alleged prosecutors, who, already having a solid state law case, have so far declined to add hate crime charges–which is an important process to set precedent & especially so when you already have a solid case for guilt…

By the way, I’ll cite this excerpt from Congresswoman Pelosi’s Floor Statement, 3/25/99, (quoting SF Ex, 21/11/98) honoring three Bay Area women who’d passed on in to The Bardo. This one is about Vivian Hallinan, mother to Patrick, Terence and Conn:

“She soon met Vincent Hallinan on a blind date. He was 13 years older and already a famous liberal lawyer.

`When I opened the door, I thought she was the most beautiful thing I’d ever seen,’ he once said.

They were married in 1932, an occasion reported by the late FBI Director J. Edgar Hoover as `a case of one warped personality marrying another.’ “

Though I do not have the source handy, Hoover also issued a fatwah/edict/vajra lesson of compassion that agents were to do everything in their power to break up/separate Vivian & Vincent…

[For those of you unfamiliar with the turf, Vincent was a labor leader lawyer who defended the likes of Harry Bridges of the SF Longshoremen (whose bio I read and cited in my Political Econony/History honors thesis for the likes of Martin Jay at Cal--the title, "Schooling in Capitalist America," came from a Bowles & Gintis book of the same name (part of the Harvard/Yale cabal, whose Thomas Everson, a leading light-- as were Warren & Brandeis, some six or seven decades earlier-- on the Right to Privacy and Constitutional Rights, and whose class both Bubba & Huck-Huck allegedly took...lending credence to the neo-con Clarence Thomas's assertion that Harvard's brother Yale law degrees were given out to just about anybody who got the foot in the door and about as meaningful as toilet paper)

Perhaps one can see why I have no patience to those who truck with "thought crime" fascists like Hoover and his odious coterie that has followed with these color-of-state-law vajra lessons of compassion!... (By the way, that legendary photo of Hoover and his Number One after hours in the office really existed and kept ole Sam Giancana out of the old goat's crosshairs for some time...)

Too, on the issue of "past lifetimes"...Mine own are, sad to have to tell you miscreants, The Fucking News, nothing but pristine...This odious libel and slander of myself as ole "Hitler hisself" is so far mishtaken as to deserve punitive remedies...
In fact I speant the last lifetime in an Auchwitz concentration camp as "little Joey"...Had my head chopped off at an early age by some of Hitler's finest, who'd termed me a "little Jewish witch whose time it was to go..."

Furthermore, according to the Dalai Lama, who was alive during this time period and can verify psychic connections with me, as he was "Tenni," I happen to be His Holiness's Guru Je Rinpoche...

I will be happy to offer "possibilities" for who you were when...(Eva Braun, above, is a strong candidate for Hillary...Hubby Bubba seems to fit the mold for Heinrich Himmler, who formed the first SS Nazi Gestapo all-Muslim division, "The Mountaineers"...So keep the disinformation coming, volks, and I'll be happy to "expose" y'all...

NOTE: None of you miscreants have any claim to our spiritual, cultural and historical tradition...The last time somebody tried a "Historical, legal and spiritual revolution" I believe his name was Herr Joseph Goebbels and his favorite number was 7 and he slept at night with the lights on because he was afraid of "the dark...."

DON'T DECLARE HER A MENACE TO SOCIETY UNTIL YOU SEE THE PSYCHO-WHITES AROUND HER PUPILS!!!

And, yeah, I'd be alarmed like the guy next to her (covering his mouth) if I were stuck on the same podium...

This Neanderthal..FLASH! again, perhaps important groundbreaking news! He and Hosie most likely have common ancestry!!!...has finally let the alley cat Lissa Tyler Renaud out of her Hollywood pimpess bag!

Question: 1) Why would OJ be posing with the former FBI Director J. Edgar Hoover and why would he deem the portrait valuable? 2) Why would his buddy call the FBI and let them know of an "OJ sting operation"? 3) Why would any legitimate law enforcement officer, given OJ's notorious abuses of law and females, give a damn?

Correct! You do NOT get FBI agent O'Mallery behind door Numbah 3!...OJ's been an FBI informant from way back, before the murder of his wife--when he was notorious for throwing "cop orgies" at his Brentwood "po' man's shack."

Herr Ickah-Dah-link Renaud, of course, was one of the main providers of "Hollywood talent" for these disgusting abuses and public humiliations of females...

Looks like ole OJ gonna have to punt and flee the country like Norman Hsu...

For those of you still here & wondering why in the world anyone would bother with expsoing miscreants in an all too temporal world where the Luciferean-pale-icy-chicken-eyed-blue of evil appears to hol sway, well, I have no answers...(Good new movie from the Coen brothers based on Cormac MacCarthy's novel, though, that I'll have to see)

The gist is: Stoics vs. Epicurians. In my philosophical view, the strength, honor & loyalty of ancients like Mark Antony, Alexander the Great, King Arthur, Cuchulainn, Finn MacCool, etc., is a more important to our evolution as a species than the excesses of the Epicurean's and their greed, gluttony, envy, gossiping & otherwise all-around condescending egomania (but they gorge at the ole Ark-ee-saw razorback pig tough on such good treats! ).

So be it...

Now, I know I spent some of my precious time putting up LEGALLY CORRECT STATEMENTS OF FACT earlier, only to have them disappear...

ADDENDUM: 12/10/07:

For those of you "conceptually challenged," I will make things crystal-nacht clear: I was and am the only "Joey Frank," the young Semitic gentleman who tired to warn the world about Hitler and that "gay crippled geek Herr Goebbels" (now,accept historical res gestae for what it was). I know for a fact that not a single one of mine own oppressors--OPP-they down wid udder peep's plexes!-- would ever have dared utter such a statement of fact...

As for these bizzarely evil chemicals they spew from their widdle spastic hands never done a day of honest work in their pampered plantation privileged life, weel, sheeple, they're the same damn substances the Nazis tossed in big salt blocks around the pogromed Jews in the Warsaw ghetto--to "spiritually cleanse" these Jewish sorcerer devils...

Rewmeber too, how Queen Elizabeth made such a big deal of decalring the Irish "Satan the Ape's Folly" and sending her troops to exterminate da brutes!

Now, for the dinosaur following of soon-t0-be-extinct race racketeers like Herrs Jackson, Sharpton & Farrakhan (like a Law Office outta Hell...), I will remind you ignroant cockbreaths, like ole W.B. DuBois had to be told the news, that it ain't funny when "the Irish have replaced the Negro as the butt of jokes at Harvard..."

Yeah, our Gaelic language was termed the "devil's words himself ," as it is a deep guttural, emotional language...Yeah, Cromwell and the Puritans enslaved the Irish BEFORE the Africans (do you hear me, you Nazi Afrocentrists espousing the most absolute nonsense ever heard and getting aways wid it!) and shipped some 40,000 to work the Jamaica sugar plantations...Most of us said, Ferk you asshole! and got, literally, beat to death...Only then did they decide to try out Africans...

Too, the British "Dr. Strangelove" (a.k.a John Deutch, former CIA Director) laboratory experiments came up with a gentically engineered virus that just knocked out the Irish cash crop tuber--leaving the Brit version untouched, old boy! One-third of our people perished in genocide...

Now, as this matter has happened to one culture or another since the begin n ing of time, it is time for Kofi Annam and the baby-ego-manical spoiled brat "Afro-Centrists" to get a life and get historically real. Your people are xenophobic, like the Greeks were, and could in no conceivable way have spread civilization--as did the Wandering Semites, not YOU, pal!!!

Nuff said for today...

The gist is this:

end Round One: TJ/Jesse : 0, Tamo: 3 Judges

This clown, OPD's officer Longshire, is the suit handling the snitchjacket Yusef Bey IV...For those of you unfamliar with how horrifyingly evil Bey the Elder,a.k.a . "Brother Balaam & the Sons of Ba'al," was. check out last Sundays Chron-Ex, front page:

Balaam's Self-Empowerment Scam

That the jackass allegedly said--according to sworn witness testimony--to intimidate a woman being interrogated, that "[he] hadn’t slapped a black bitch around in a while” and boasted, like a typical flatfoot thug, that his Black Muslim snitches would “knock your teeth out” is outrageously disgraceful to not only women but anyone with any sense of “strength, honor and loyalty.”

With homicide “investigators” like him at the OPD, it’s easy to see why some poor crackhead got left “holding the bag” (like the Stevie Wonder song, “Living for the City,” here slick, hold this, I just gotta run across the street, I’ll be right back ) for an inner circle assasination of Antar Bey (hey, when you’ve inherited a multi-million dollar color-of-law pirating of Alameda County and plenty of other folks, everybody wants in on the action)…

Also easy to see why that nobody in law enforcement could figure out whodunnit when my UC Berkeley college sweetheart Amy Linn was kidnapped, held hostage for extortion, and, then, even after her devoted father Bob paid off the Black Muslim Bakery’s ransom demands, tortured, raped and brutally murdered. Her crime? She had come down from Seattle, where she worked as a reporter for “The Seattle Times,” to find out what in the world is going on with all the federale shenanigains then (1990-1992) going on in Tom’s life? Her plan was to get me out of Dodge & take me to her parent’s house in Palo Alto, where we used to escape to while Cal students, for a little break in the action…

At one point, exhausted and drugged, her captors allegedly asked her what it was that she saw in that whi boy anyway? [me] She supposedly said something along the lines of how I’d been a very strong spiritual influence in her life (Amy, a good liberal girl, was always a bit naive about miscreants and their motives); in fact, according to her, which was funny, given how she was Jewish, I’d always reminded her of The Christ in the way I lived my life and always had compassion for others…The miscreants were so impressed that they nailed her feet to an old door in the basement in North Oakland where she was being kept (a Black Muslim “safe house”) so that she could have the full experience of The Christ…(Plus, it kept her from sliding around in the chair in which she was bound when the miscreants came by, in droves, for a little oral servicing…)

The whole shebang was justified and rationalized, of course, as according to the miscreants world view she was just another “Hymie of privilege” so the world was better off without her…

As her father had come to Chicago from Poland nearly penniless and built his skills as a salesman into his own carpet business before he sold it and retired to California, as he’d been a tireless advocated of poor peoples’ housing rights in Chicago as a Rent Board Commissioner, as his son, dispite being disabled as a young man with polio, got his law degree from Yale and chose to become a public defender in Chicago–gaining national prominence in one U.S. Supreme court case in which he’d defended welfare recipients unjustly accused under what were declared unconstitutional procedures and customs, and as Amy herself had been a very gifted investigative journalist uncovering scandals like the rampant asbestosis in Mare Island shipyard workers (for Mother Jones magazine & the Chronicle/Examiner), the invisibility of minority residents and complaints about the living conditions of Liberty City, right next to Miami in Florida (for “The Miami Herald”), well, as is my alleged right in this country, I beg to dissent…

Maybe if we’d used the “C.W. Ninnius standard” of if I think somebody’s going to do something, then they sure as hell will that he uses to pillory homeless people in SF–in an example of how yellow journalism low one of these hacks calling themselves reporters will beg, like dogs at the table of Empire looking for scraps–well, when ole Jesse dropped the Hymietown bomb in 1984 (can we say Orwellian, boysies and girlsies?) & Brother Farrakhan threatened to murder anybody in the media reporting on it, well, responsible “public policy” might have been to commit the two bad boys and ensure that they got proper psychiatric treatment before their similarly anti-Semitic pals murdered Amy and gots away wid it!

For more well-documented examples of Herr Jackson’s (TJ’s too, albeit as his “evil twin”) persecution complex, projective paranoia, compulsive liar disorder and inability to consider anybody else’s histories and sufferings except the ones he makes up as “his own,” see Kenneth Timmerman in his best-selling Shakedown,

I ain’t worried, they’ll all, including that corrupt cop Longshire, get theirs down in the lowest circle of the Inferno with the rest of Brother Balaam’s insanely evil neo_Nazis…

Round Two: TJ 0, Tamo 3 Judges

Round Three:

For those of you wondering why I favor depiction as a jackass as indicative of spiritual malaise, well, it could be from a time I saw the Dalai Lama in Pasadena, CA (So.Cal.) a few years back (I was given a Rinpoche teaching fellowship allowing me to attend). He mentioned that, in the Bardo, or sometimes even when those afflicted with bad karma, dude! are still in the here and now, animal characteristics become part of what is perceived about the miscreant…The Celts, too, strongly have believed in these matters: King Mark, who machievellianly disrupted the wondrous romance of Tristan and Isuelt, was druidicall afflicted with looking, in teeth and ears, like a mule…

But it could be, too, due to an incident when I was a young man in upstate New York (Owego, an IBM company town near Ithaca). Not thrilled to be in bumpkin land, after living with my wondrous Grandfather (Thomas Joseph Noonan, a WWII Lt. Col. who was decorated for action against Rommel’s desert rats in North Africa) and Gran in Cleveland Heights, Ohio, I nonetheless managed to make a couple of good friends. One was Lopez Loving, a boy my age who lived down the road about a mile or so from me; his father, like mine, was an engineer at IBM. The Lovings had moved here from a similar IBM think tank in Birmingham, Alabama, because, as African-Americans, they thought they’d give the North a shot after experiencing the Deep South of the 50′s.

One day we had a fundraising event at our school (elementary, junior and high school lumped together–my graduating class had 76 people). Donkey basketball. Two teams of fathers going up against each other. Lopez really wanted his Dad in it and persuaded him to participate (I had no such inclination with the ignorant shithead that was my father, John Tierney Noonan, dead, thankfully, by the time I hit my early 30′s).

Well, at the game, one of the yahoo Bubba’s handling the event–equipped with cattle prods to motivate the stubborn donkeys–took to following Mr. Loving’s donkey around and continually prodding it. As the Lovings were the only African-American family at our school and local area, why, the good ole boys got a great kick out of it…Like when I played high school varsity hoop–as a local star that Jim Boeheim wanted to take with him to Syracuse U. when he bacame head coach there–our coach kept a stack of clipboards next to him at the end of the bench, and, if he thought you were “hot-dogging,” i.e., not sticking exactly to his tightly programmed offense, he’d call a time-out and, terming you a knuckle-head, crack the clipboard over your head with such force that they often broke…Though I managed to escape this fate, my best friend on the team, Joey, our best guard and a gifted scorer, was, to the chagrin and shame of us all, his favorite target…The good ole boys would guffaw and shake bellies in great approval, hooting, Hit that boy again, coach!

So maybe you get the idea that I didn’t grow up as a “scion of privilige” attending private academies and guaranteed admission to Harvard and Yale–like most of the politicos we get stuck with in this U.S. of A…

Anyway, the donkey bearing Mr. Lopez eventually had enough and bucked him clear–Mr. Lopez landed on his bakc in the bleachers and hurt it badly…

Next thing I knew, they were packing up to head back to Birmingham…I was heart-broken, Mrs. Lopez was very fond of me and would often insist that I stay for dinner; too, unlike my non-book oriented father, she had a wondrous library collection in beautiful bookshelves (her house was immaculately kept)…If I wanted to borrow a book, I just had to ask…

I somehow got the idea to circulate a petition of apology among my fellow pupils asking them to have their parents sign and persuade the Lovings to stay. Most everybody knew or could easily have seen what had happened, and good old purititanical guilt got just about everybody I knew to sign…

I proudly presented it to our Principal, who made a copy for me to give to the Lovings and commended me…

Didn’t help, Mr. Loving’s mind was made up. With Mrs. Loving weeping, he gently thanked me and said, “Tommie, there’s just some things you don’t understand yet and I pray to God you never do…”

Round Three: TJ: 0, Tamo: 3 Judges…

Round Four:

Let’s take a look at “the news today, oh boy…” The National Association of Absolutely Crazy Peep’s objected to a Chinese arftist doing a granite sculpture of Dr. Martin Luther King (well, the fact that, according to the search committe, which includes the distinguished scholar Dr. Henry Louis Gates, there ain’t any black artists working in that medium ,seems to make no difference…)

Now, given how Dr. King “had a dream” where race made no difference, and–true fact, TJ/Jesse (whatever the miscreant you call yourself that smeared the blood of Dr. King on you, after working for the FBI to set up his assassination, according to confidential sources that need some exposure round here! True fact, of which you remain cluless: Dr. King had a dream, in the early 60′s of a young white man (child) who would grow up to do amazing things towards healing the racial divide in this country…

Unfortunately, with all the house negra’s like yousself having mucky-mucked up da works, the philosophy of your forebearer, Adolph Hitler, has held sway: “You are of my blood and soil!”

Round Four:

Tamo 3 Judges, TJ/Jesse 0

Round Five:

When I “heard the news, today,” about Dr. King being assasinated, I was stuck in hill-BUBBA land, and some crew-cut, blank-chicken-eyed like Bubba and Hillary fool (who was allegedly my junior-high science teacher) burst in the class room and, literally drooling like a razorback at da trough, announced, They just shot the head [n-word]!

I remember never talking to this miscreant again…(I lost JFK and RFK the same short time period ,too, the latter a man I’d actually met at a talk at Owego High School, before he was shot on the West coast, and shook his gravitas hand in complete awe…)

To adopt the misused “mul;ticultural lingo,” I never understood myself as a sentient being until that day…”

I will share more about the “ignorant shithead” shoe hitting the floor and, too, about how opposing teams called me “The Animal” in basketball (and, friend, we were state sectional champions years in a row, with three solid years of home game wins when I played); too, opposing players would illegally hit me wioth an elbow or fists and say, Hungawa (allegedly Swahillian for “gotcha” but, like everything else in the hill_BUBBA arse-ennal, not quite…). I did have hair in those days, long, dark and curly, that I wore with my John Lennon Wireframes in protest…

Now, miscreant, let me tell you, that when you were two or three years old, so proud of being rewarded for bieing a good little pup for filling your diaper with hot off the presses doo-doo! ; well, boy, I’d been captured and held hostage by your Federales…(Proof on this one too, fool). Seems I could read at a college-age level at 2 & one-half (Nazi aunt librarian, baby sitter, who let me read the Curious George books et al at her branch…) and fully remembered “who the Heaven I am”…

They sent some gay old geek named John Foster Dulles, head of the CIA. to interview me. Unlike Tibet, when a young tulku of talent is found ,these buttfucks from the bowels of Langley are pure, droooling evil…

Forewarned by the mother I’ve been since denied (i.e., if he pulls out his little wanger and says “suck on it like a popsickle, little boy,” punch him as hard as you can in the you knowwhats and say, “Go to Hell, you gay Nazi pig!”)

Which I did…

(So for all you over-rated, over-media’d, over-played and , quite frankly, over-done, “Gay and Lesbian Cul-char Heroes” out there, sit down and shut the mother fuck up,. capiche…)

Now I’ll confere these miscreants with some other Africans and African Americans deserving of credit and merit for ethics, integrity and perserverance in the face of difficulties…

My ex Lady, a daughter and granddaughter of Xhosa chieftains in South Africa, came to this country as a musician and toured nationwide, with her band, as the opening act for pros like Jackson Browne and Melissa Etheridge. When, similar to the current writers’ strike, her band sold a number of CD’s along the way, the nice, liberal, daughter of Manhattan’s East Side who’d arranged it as a “humanitarian” insisted, as their manager, that all the musicians sign over any and all royalties the band had coming to her…My Lady refused, got cheated anyway and is still paying for the manager’s extortion. Nonetheless, as a devoted mother, she is raising a very bright seven-year old son with the same high standards her father and grandfather taught her to hold. The young man does extremely well in school, is very well-liked, and disdains the “rapper/gangsta” fads…

Someday I hope he’ll be a leader like Sen. Barack Obama, a man of integrity and experience (speaking of which, I don’t think the country needs a rerun of Hillary’s “experience” in publically humiliating professional and philanthropic women she considered, in the bizarrely paranoid recesses of her cranium, “enemies”).

ROUND SIX:

Now, as mine own digital video tapes were MICHAEL MANTRA’D at BCC (he’s a jealous widdle Peter Pan, he doesn’t get girlfriends like me–even though his brother works for the CIA & he spent time as a “Radar” military flunkie during ‘Nam), why I’ll have to remind you that I AIN’T DOWN WID OPP (I.E., OTHER PEEP’S PLEXES)…

I did get my behind tanned in kindergarten–when and where I could read at a college level, due to my Nazi Aunt Annie the librarian babysitting me while the folks were at college; before the entire class the teach yanked my pants down and paddle the bejeezus out of me for being a “smarty pants”…(I’d read the “Instructions for Teacher” on our “color the bars for the tiger’s cage” exedrcise while the old bag was out in the hallway gossiping up a storm with one of our other “teachers” & told the other kids which crayon to use on which bar…As I was new and a foot taller than everyone I thought this might be a great way to break the ice…)

Hauled into the middle school principal’s office for being too good at “King of the Hill” (everybody piles on & you rise up and throw them all off), I looked ole Swigonski in the face, and , in the words of my Grandfather Noonan, said, “Well, you’re just an ignorant shithead and I don’t have to pay any attention to what you say at all…”

& I am most likely the only three-year old in History kicked out of pre-school for leading the other kids on a “mission to find King Arthur,” as I’d just moved to Binghamton from Cleveland, well, I thought I’d give the new woods a try (after my Grandfathers’s stentorian tales…)

Ran away from home at age four: was on the Captain Bill show for kids (my fourth birthday) and a sweet little girl down the street had a cardboard castle set in her basement–we thought we’d write story lines about king, queens, and especially little princesses and get back on Captain Bill’s show…Some ignorant shithead challenged me about my “little princess” (he was twice my age) and said she was just a “dumb girl,” at which point I picked up a mop and gave him the stick end of it like a samurai…Knocked him out, broke the stick; i packed some socks and underwear in a kerchief, charged milk and cookies to my mother, Barbara (now dead for some twenty years, too), and hit the road Jack…

So I guess if you have the clarity of mind as a youngster to “want to be president,” it ain’t such a bad thang…

ROUND SIX: JUDGES: 3 TAMO, 0 TJ/JESSE/WHY ALL BE SHARPTON’ED WHATEVER RACE/POVERTY/PIMP JIVEASS NIGGA TO THE N’ THE DEGREE !

Now we get back to the personal: my son Peter…a big strong man now, (240 pounds to my 210, and, like me, an expert in marital arts) when I last knew him he was a toddler crawling hands and knees towards me and holding up an acorn from a board game he liked to play, i.e., I need the seed of Enlightenment, Dude--very annoyed look on his wee face… (I was staying at my stupid truck-driving cousin’s in Petalauma, and Peter was MY child through artificial insemination…Yet given fools like Herr Deutchie-poo, why, they just figured that my children would roll over on me…HOW LITTLE THEY LEARN LORD…

Now, this Peter was the star of two CIA Missions in recent history that we all thought would make a difference:

1) (Ready, cuz this ain’t no joke…) Tracking down ole Bin Laden hiss-ole-Devil-self in the caves of Pakistan… Fool, relying on Tommie Twettern the fink’s CIA transmissions, never saw it coming…For the record, Bin Laden and many of his top second-thugs-in-command, were executed several years ago…I don’t give a damn about Dickie-Poo Cheney and his war machine (and lesbian CIA, through his god-damn ignorant daughter), but facts are facts, boy, and those that have really been “in da field” will always triumph over you damn paper-shuffling bureaucrats…

2) Saddam Hussein.Through authentic “pyschic remote viewers,” it was determined, just like Bin Laden, where the ferkface was hiding..Takedown, piece of cake…

3) The idea of the secret Task Force all along was to prevent the War in Iraq… These Heroes feel greatly betrayed, and I cannot disagree…

Mea Culpa, son, like the CCR song, someday you’ll understand (and someday never comes, sonne…)

Round 8:

Now, the latest Freudian gaffe by the Clintons (Huch Huck & hubba bubba) reveals much more about the implacable nature of the neo-plantation gulag this country continues to deploy more than anyone will admit (well, except for this great column, post, by a guy I disagree with now & then but completely admire his style)…

Claiming that a wizened old sitting around the pickle barrel (and overrated) bubba like Lyndon Johnson was somehow essential to the civil rights movement goes right to the heart (or lack of it) of Hillary. I.e., yous house negras needs someone like me to give you the plantation seal of approval!

Totally neglecting that the attorney general of that time was almost single-handedly in that southern bubba administration responsible for the 1964 Civil Rights Act–and disrespecting Dr. King’s life-giving contribution to articulating “the dream,” her and hubby’shubrisappears to know no bounds…And, as for “fairy tales,” why one only has to look at Bill the Bubba, especially in his res gestae as Arkansas Guv, when he had “T.J.,” the FBI “security double” for Herr Jesse Jackson, stand guard (as an Arkansas State Trooper) stand guard in various parking lots and gas station backlots while he did his biz on various females–plenty of shocking tales already available all over the place…I.e., Bill, you’re no Celtic righ of olde–you are in fact Vortigern the Collaborator, which is why, karmically, his head swivels from side to side when he’s attempting to pull off his Lani Guinier “multiple scenario” pathological lying, and his lips downturn in a sneer/leer…(Vortigern being the Pict leader–and Picts are not Celts–who openly collaborated with the Saxon swine-devils from the Continent–most notably Colgrin the Cold Grin of Death (Herr Jackson’s past life) in inviting them to lay waste to the Celts for a percentage of da booty…

If Hillary is truly serious about public servie, she would be well-advised to disavow herself from her IRS fustilug Gestapo and ist extreme divisiveness and disservice to the talent of this country…Directly because of this Deep South plantation remnant, I was banned from an acting and writing career that should have been stellar–the guy that ole Spike Lee wanted to play the role I wrote for myself in “City of Nights,” Denzel Washington, then an unknown, is now considered the favorite actor in America…

If you think this Roman Empire trick of “exile the talent,” perfected under ole Thurinus the Tow-Headed Brat, nee “Augustus Caesar,” the favorite butt-fuck nephew of Unkka Julius (and reincarnated as ole Al Gore, the principal reason why media talent in this country goes pretty much unpaid–as “content providers” happy to do it for free, as one Internet clown explained to a bar and restaraunt owner as to why his MTV style entertainment channel was so inexpensive) is somehow “revolutionary” or in any means necessary justified, why then you deserve this neo-Empire in all its depravity (remember, Caligula is still to come…)

As for Barack, keep fighting and dreaming–a Sunday NYT opinion piece lamented the lack of importance accorded to the fine art of political rhetoric, an opinion I second, as the first time I got interested in that dead white dude Shakespeare was when Dr. King quoted him in a tribute to his wife–about surviving the Tempests of this world in a little skiff through the constant and fixed by a start course of devotion in love…

And as for Michelle, the wife of whom Bubba must be jealous in disparaging her husband (maybe thinking of his own completely dysfunctional arrangement) , well, you go girl!

Amazing what you then learn about your own peeps–like how the Celtic righs of olde had an ollam as counsel in all decision making instances, e.g., a poet also well-versed and learned in legal history whose opinion weighed mightily…Imagine such a “fairy tale”!

Column from today’s SF Chron:

The presidential candidacy of Barack Obama has been educational. It has taught us that there are those in both parties who could benefit from racial sensitivity courses.

Democrats need to sign up. They’re supposedly more enlightened on racial issues and, in fact, many of them go out of their way to portray Republicans as bigots. But thanks to how some Democrats are reacting to the Obama campaign, we’re getting a peek at how they really think. And it’s not pretty.

Not that the GOP gets a pass. It’s just that, with Republican opposition to affirmative action and support for English-only laws and anti-immigrant rhetoric, expectations are lower. Many people just assume Republicans to be more racially intolerant.

Does that include Karl Rove? In a recent op-ed piece for the Wall Street Journal, the former White House adviser flirted with racial stereotypes when he accused Obama of engaging in “trash talking,” which Rove called “an unattractive carryover from his days playing pickup basketball at Harvard.”

How positively urban. Of course, there is always the chance that Rove would have invoked trash-talking and pickup basketball if he were writing about, say, John Edwards.

As long as we’re giving dispensations, let’s save a couple for New York Attorney General Andrew Cuomo – a Democrat and Clinton supporter – who explained Obama’s loss in New Hampshire by saying that, in a state that values retail politics, one can’t just call news conferences and “shuck and jive” one’s way to victory.

Shuck and jive? Can you imagine Cuomo using the same phrase to describe a poor performance by Dennis Kucinich?

Cuomo’s racially insensitive remarks come at a bad time for Team Hillary. Bill Clinton is trying to back away from his unflattering remarks about Obama’s campaign by trying to convince black radio hosts and others that it all depends on the definition of “fairy tale.” And Clinton is under fire from black leaders who took offense to her implying that, while Martin Luther King Jr. was a great orator, it nevertheless took a Democratic president – Lyndon B. Johnson – to get the Civil Rights Act passed. It sounded hollow. As a child of the 1960s, Clinton knows full well about the power of protest and pressure to effect change.

But it’s when they’re on the defensive that the Clintons really get offensive. Not only are they trying to convince black voters that they didn’t really hear what they really heard, they’re also painting themselves as victims by accusing Obama of playing the race card when they’re the ones who are dealing from the bottom of that deck.

During an appearance on NBC’s “Meet the Press,” Clinton defended herself and her husband but then went on the attack. She accused the Obama campaign of “deliberately distorting” their comments and “putting out talking points” intended to make the Clintons look intolerant.

Wow. This is a neat trick. You throw mud at someone, then you blame him for the fact that your hands are dirty.

The sad part is that there are Americans who will probably fall for this maneuver. There are always going to be those members of society who have a chip on their shoulder and think that African Americans can’t wait to play the race card. Now they may be willing to hang that charge on an African American running for president.

Obama says he is “baffled” by how this got turned around on him. He points out that it was the Clintons who misspoke and that he hasn’t commented on what they said. He also said that he is “concerned about the tenor the campaign has taken” and that he doesn’t want it to become a “tit for tat.”

Too late. Much of the blame lies with the Clintons, who seem bent on the politics of personal diminishment. Think about it. Bill tried to diminish the importance of the Obama campaign, while Clinton tried to diminish the importance of Martin Luther King Jr.

And why would they do that? It’s to make themselves feel more important, more relevant and more indispensable to the advancement of African Americans, both now and at various points in U.S. history.

It is the ultimate power trip, the sort that illustrates what happens when old-school liberalism meets Baby-Boomer narcissism. The Clintons have built their careers on the notion that their commitment to public service is all about you. But sooner or later, you figure out, it’s all about them.

TKO of TJ by Tamo!

For the record, “Jesse Jackson/TJ,” well, it ain’t about Barack not bein’ black enough, it’s all about you not bein’ man, enough...

For any of those who disagree with the Judges’ decision, I offer the following message to you:

For those of you in need of further help, click here

For the record, both of my parents died some time ago, when I was in my early thirties…My father was John Tierney Noonan, and my mother Barbara Kaye McNenny Noonan (listed as such on my birth certificate, from Cleveland, Ohio, which I will post as proof). And, FOR THE RECORD, neither left me a penny…

For some fifteen years now however, some paper-shuffling bureaucrats calling themselves federales have had such hilarious fun in not only switching my entire “life story” with the world-famous-miscreant, “little Jonnie, a.k.a. Hosie the star snitch.” Pendent to this fun & games, dude, several dried-up old senexes, most likely deeply jealous of the Hollywood female attention I at one time was professionally attracting–due to mine own very hard work, mind you, and much merited and deserved–decided to play my “father” and, for my own “best interests,” teach me a “lesson of respect”…

The vampire featured here is wily ole “C.P.,” who has been told to cease and desist from this nonsense so many times, which he, like Hosie and Dalie and Lissa toosie!, does until he/they think that nobody’s paying any attention anymore and he/they go right back to being, as me brudder and I usta say of somebody needing an “attitude adjustment,” Schtuck on Schtupid (S.O.S.)

So maybe his paper-shuffling days in some cubicle in the bowels of Langley are finally ended…Without his federal color-of-law trickery and thievery, why the old goat gonna be Roman effluvial Freudian-shit-outta-luck! when it comes to vampiring off my hard-earned and well-won achievements…

Along with his “Three Stooges,” as My beloved Grandpa Mac called his three daughters…he was known as the real “black sheep of the family–only to return as an evil omen, according to Grandpa Mac (who’d gone out of his way to pull strings for the nee’er-do-well to get a nice “Mad Boysies of Male Privilege” job for him at the Dept. of State); e.g., “when the buzzards of Hinkley return...”

This faction of the family has done nothing but evil, and, like the New England Patriots, it’s time for some “instant karma gonna get you”…

As Shakespeare said (& anyone named “Bill” claiming to be an expert on S., like todays CC Times, is just another idiot signifying nothing ) , fare thee well… [end 2/04/08 addendum}

I guess there is a God, if you dig what I mean...And speaking of which, this "C.P." is in no way recognized by my Tibetan Buddhist tradition--the legitimate Rinpoches, that is, and not the followers of Dorje Shugden and other Bon-Po degenerates--as the reincarnation of any Rinpoche ever...Same for his coterie, including (but not limited to) Herr Lissa Tyler Renaud (who has previously been issued restraining orders forbidding her from coming anywhere near teachers at teachings--including one by HHDL's people when he was in Pasadena, to where I was invited and attended on a Rinpoche Scholarship), cousin Hosie/Jethro, Herr Jesse Jackson, Wendell Taylor, etc., etc., etc...

So the next time you see one of these fish-witch cult folks claiming to be spiritual initiators, spreading the offspring of military warfare chemicals developed, recently, by the Nazis to "spiritually sterilize" those degenerate Jews pogromed in Poland (archived pictures exist of uniformed Nazis tossing what appear to be salt blocks off flatbed trucks around the perimeter of the fenced in Jews' gulag), and claiming to be "the revolution," why, just remember what Zen Master Dogen (1200-1252) said so long ago: "Never listen to fools with tongues wagging [out of the side of one's mouth, snickering about "lust" or some other personal complex apparently troubling or threatening to the miscreant at that moment] like rabid dogs…”

Personal Note; It’s truly an example of “cultural ignorance” when African-Americans get in my face and claim that they–as the predecessors in these matters, the KKK & Hitler& Stalin & Mao ad nauseum–somehow got da Reich to “regulate’ my Rights of Association…Not a matter of “tragedy,’ wherein the Hero’s demise lies in a noble fault within, just a matter of plain old, pig-headed sch-too-pidity

e Regent who refused to recognize the reincarnation of the Great Fifth Dalai Lama as the Sixth Dalai Lama (the guy, put into exile, took solace with women, wine and sensuous poetry and is revered to this day by Tibetans) and instead developed a Freudian “edifice complex,” focusing on building the Potala Palace…As when rituals turn as dead and meaningless as the scuttling of crabs on wooden-floored ivory towers of academia in the absence of a “living transmission,” this fixation with illusion, “style,” and as Shakespeare said, with wry irony, “monuments to eternity” has resulted in the Potala being the new Chinese Disneyland…The Tibetan women, once protected by the Dalai (commemorated in folk song as “he sees everything so miscreants beware!”), now are cheap prostitutes for fat wheezing-like-Mao-pigs…The Tibetan youth, second-class citizens in their own country, have drug and alcohol addiction problems as bad as any American inner-city…

And the power struggle this rat-fink regent set off? Like the current attempts by the PRC, doomed to failure…The Dalai Lamas in between the Great Fifth and the Great Thirteen all died young–through poisonings & outright murder, in the razorbacks at da trough scrambling to sell out to the philing (outsiders to the inner tradition)

One parting item: from that eloquent and intelligent US Attorney General, Nicholas Katzenbach’s, groundbreaking caselaw (250 F. Supp. 330 (1965), US v. the Original Knights of the KKK):

“Legal tolerance of secret societies must cease at the point where their members assume supra-governmental powers and take law into their own hands… [Can we say "vajra lesson of compassion," boysies & girlsies?!]

“Wrapped in myths and misbeliefs which they think relieve them of the obligations of ordinary citizens, klansmen pledge theeir first allegienace to their Konstitution and give their first loyalty to a cross in flames.

“None of the defendant klansmen is a leader in his community…Instead they appear to be ignorant bullies, callous of the harmthey know they are doing and lacking in sufficient understanding to comprehend the chasm between their own twisted Klanstitution and the noble charter of liberites under law that is the American Constitution…”

As Bubba claims that his “experience ” as Attorney General and Governor of Ar-kee-saw is vastly more important than Sen. Obama’s as a congressman, I suggest that you check out some of Bubba’s legal arguments he made from that era (Hint, start with Hutto v. Finney , 437 U.S. 678, 688 (1978), for a look at his defense of the ole what we have here is a failure to communicate almost Georgia -chain-gang shocking treatment of inmates…

During Bubba’s reign, too, one County Sheriff made headlines for his unusual office decor–he’d had a convicted rapist’s castrated testicles mounted on a plaque and prominently displayed…(kinda like the nooses some northern California managers have had hanging in their offices for when “disgruntled employees” try to file legal complaints…)

Bubba’s parting shot at the South Carolina primary (“Jesse Jackson won here twice,” said with that sideways bob of the head smirk) is just the latest of the race cards the Clintons keep playing in an attempt to Nixon Redux pander the “southern strategy” Tricky Dick Machiavellianly deployed upon an unsuspecting public…

And Hillary’s clamoring for the Florida (and Michigan) candidates to be counted (she spent a lot of time there “fundraising,” not “campaigning,” mind you, as well as the under-handed shenanigans with the California teachers unions can only remind one of her pal Lani Guinier’s “multiple scenarios” twisting of law and legal principles to “win by any [sordid] means necessary…”

Given John McCain’s vastly superior experience in cutting military spending deemed wasteful and attempting to rein in the out of control political money machine (Hillary has the largest contributions from military contractors of ANY candidate), one has to wonder how, if she becomes the Democratic candidate, this Clinton Redux machine would be in any way “better” than the Republicans? Especially given how her Cal pal, Speaker Nunez, has perfected the art of razorback feeding at the public trough, after eight long years, and now eagerly looks forward to a coupla more through the disingenuous “term limits” initiative…

c’est la vie…

A few matters for further consideration…[2/04/2008]:

Given NOW’s condemnation of Sen. Kennedy for his endorsement of Mr. Obama, one has to ask , who’s the real hypocrite here? As NOW’s been taken over by the Fustilug Gestapo, questioning their motives is fair game…

Let’s look instead to California, where Maria Shriver appeared with Caroline Kennedy, Michelle Obama and Ms. Winfrey to make an unusual endorsement:Barack Obama. That’s the type of “action” I’m talking about, not Bubba the Bill Clinton’s garden variety…

It must be said that her husband, the Arnold, perhaps recognized a fellow warrior on the way in Mr. Obama…

And, too, that this media circus about bimbo eruptions like the Brittney or Lindsay public (humiliating) meltdowns has it’s roots in Bush the Elder (teach the “stuck-up ho’s a lesson”) and then, in even more flagrancy, with Bubba the Nero Clinton…

How many stories were there in those god-DAMNED years of Clinton of little-boy assholes like Jimmy cracked-up Carville unzipping his pants in Hollywood and saying to some shocked female, “Wanna play with my Arkansas black snake”…

So, get off it, Bubba; you’re a “spinmeister” par excellance, but a failure as a “true human being,” as my hero Lin Chi once described himself. Do your wife a favor and get divorced, then, maybe Hillary can get a fair hearing on her own soul, alone…

A few matters for further consideration…[1/31/2008]:

I was watching a rerun of “Law & Order” last night–sometimes well-written, after actual items “in the news,” and thought-provoking…

This one was about an Iraqi man who, after 9/11, was rounded up from his job as a NYC cabbie and shipped off for two years to be “interrogated”…The focus was on a “Doctor” who was to advise on controversial interrogation methods. Seems that the combination of “stress positions” and ice-cube baths, as well as isolation, caused some 80% of the prisoners to suffer heart troubles–in particular “cardiac arrythmia,” and mental difficulties, e.g. “depression”…

How ironic, I thought, that in this country, to a US citizen born & raise here–in good standing (Eagle Scout at age 14, Order of the Arrow, Soap Box Derby (local) winner, NYS Regents Scholar, National Merit Scholar Awardee, 2nd in his High School class,Varsity Letterman in Basketball, Track & Cross-Country, chair of the Chess Club, etc.) this same treatment over the last fifteen years prompted no outrage but only snickers and guffaws about it somehow being properly “class/cultural warfare.”

Yeah, we be talkin’ ’bout moi…could explain the mysterious occurence of both disabling conditions to me (that and the “special diet” and experimental “anti-pyschotic medications” known to cause the same–see, e.g., Riggins v. Nevada, 504 U.S. 127, (1992) –that the fustilug Gestapo was illegally dosing “wingnuts” with at the Quarter Meal & Catholic Worker meals about a decade ago (under Herr Wendy Georges & her infamously sycophantic regime)

Though I’ve explained long & often how I in no way remotely logical or rational could ever be construed as a “scion of privilege,” somehow some folks just don’t get the message…

Daddy & Mommy didn’t bring me up, like Al Gore’s children, with an embedded silver spoon from birth, I wasn’t silver platter handed a job writing those hilariously funny Saturday Night Live sketches (think “Hymietown”) or a novel in which a group of “heirheads” shop till they drop! and max out those AMEX cards as “hip & cool” New Yorkers…No silver platter handed job as Executive Editor of a “hip & cool” L.A. magazine, either…(No “hip & cool” Prius, either)…

In other words, the time has come for some hypocrites to just sit down and shut the fuck up!…

As to my “intellectual property,” as the matter of my creative works over the years is quaintly known, I will tell you–for the very last time–that all pretenders and misappropriaters of my work (especially that FBI informant Spike Lee) lost on these matters in federal court…

So to say, well, I don’t gots ta pay no mind to that nonsense and “teach me a lesson” for one’s own inadequacies, projective paranoia, whatever dude is akin to the Deep South bubbas in, say, Jena, using the same irrationalization to hang nooses and otherwise attempt to “teach a lesson of respect” to out-of-town civil rights advocates…

Here’s a few caselaw citings to make the matter crystal-clear: (and is somehow, you still don’t “get it,” well then, you have no business practicing or teaching law, even if it is just in Ar-kee-saw...If the Democrats don’t prioritize the dismantling of Hillary’s Fustilug Gestapo–the fat-assed, ferret-eyed & perpetually sch-too-pid! bubbas & bubbesses in particular, I’ve noticed a strong correlation between intelligence and even looks in distinguishing who’s able to “get it” and those who just, most likely, will never have a cluesie!–well then Republicans like John McCain, as a former POW, acutely aware of the broad dangers of cult “group ego” insanity practicing “civil interdiction” (declared absolutely abhorrently evil per se by our Supreme Court way back in Weems v. United States, 217 US (1910), post), sure as hell will…

(full disclosure: when I was five years old, in first grade (Tioga Central Elementary School, upstate New York), my IQ was tested at 187, my reading level rated as that of a college freshman…Given this country’s bizarrely animously-motivated Philistinism and open hatred for “schmarty pants,” this achievement, and my others deemed “intellectual,” has been nothing but a source of bemused pain over the years…)

For the last time, there is no place (except in the Hell Bardos of one’s own un-becoming) or spiritual category as “gay or gone”; Bush the Elder started this nonsense back when he was the Head Spook and Reagan’s Sorcerer’s Apprentice–to not remember this point is to remind one of how ADD this country’s people/sheeple have become–so, just as with the Nazi’s being the modern panderers of these Bon-Po chemical crystals made gaseous by heat, as “enlightenment equalizers” (or similar nonsense), remember where this fish-witch cult so hilariously popular among the ignorant originated (again, in “modern” times). There is no legitimate spiritual authority worldwide in my Tibetan, Christian or Hebrew traditions who recognizes one iota of this cult’s bizarre perversions as having any validity whatsoever…(Especially, I might add, my old friend the Dalai Lama…)

–“ Yet, if the time is not yet when men think innocent all that which is honestly germane to a pure subject, however little it may mince its words, still I scarcely think that they would forbid all which might corrupt the most corruptible, or that they would forbid all which might corrupt the most corruptible, or that society is prepared to accept for its own limitations those which may perhapsbe necessary to the weakest of its members…If letters must, like other kinds of conduct, be subject to the social sense of what is right, it would seem that a jury should in each case establish the standard much as they do in cases of negligence.To put thought in leash to the average conscience of the time is perhaps tolerable, but to fetter it by the necessities of the lowest and least capable seems a fatal policy.”

U.S. v. Kennerley (1913) 209 Fed. 119, 120-121, J. Hand’s opinion

–Noting that all 14 States which by 1792 had ratified the Constitution had made ‘blasphemy,” among other matters, a statutory crime (fn: citing, e.g., “Act Against Drunkenness, Blasphemy,” 1737 Georgia penal code), our Supreme Court said, “The protection given speech and press was fashioned to assure unfettered interchange of ideas for the bringing about of political and social changes desired by the people.This objective was made explicit as early as 1774 in a letter of the Continental Congress to the inhabitants of Quebec: ‘ [Thomas Jefferson citing the importance of] ready communication of thoughts…whereby oppressive officers are shamed or intimidated, into more honourable and just modes of conducting affairs.’…All ideas having even the slightest redeeming social importance–unorthodox ideas, controversial ideas, even ideas hateful to the prevailing climate of opinion–have the full protection of the guaranties…”

Roth, supra, at 484

–”But we have nothing to fear from the demoralizing reasonings of some, if others are left free to demonstrate their errors.And especially when the law stands ready to punish the first criminal act produced by the false reasoning.These are safer correctives than the conscience of a judge.”

Thomas Jefferson, letter to Elijah Boardman, July 3, 1801, Jefferson Papers, Library of Congress, Vol. 115, folio 19761. As Jefferson noted in his 1801 Inaugural Address, he preferred seeking the “…principles form[ing] the bright constellation of that which has gone before us, and guided our steps…”

“Relieve the judges from the rigour of text law and permit them, with praetorian discretion, to wander into it’s equity, and the whole legal system becomes incertain.”

(9 Papers of Thomas Jefferson71 (J. Boyd ed 1954), cited in: Missouri v. Jenkins (1995) 132 L Ed 2d 63, at 105.)

–”Our willingness to unleash the federal equitable power has reached areas beyond school desegregation.Federal courts have used ‘structural injunctions’ as they are known, not only to supervise our Nation’s school s, but also to manageprisons, see Hutto v. Finney, 437 US 678 [ ] (1978), mental hospitals, Thomas S. v. Flaherty, 902 F 2d 250 (CA4),[ ] (1990), and public housing, Hills v. Gautreaux, 425 US 284 [ ] (1976).See generally D. Horowitz, The Courts and Social Policy 4-9 (1977).Judges have directed or managed the reconstruction of entire institutions and bureaucracies, with little regard for the inherent limitations on their authority.

Such extravagant uses of judicial power are at odds with the history and tradition of the equity power and the Framers’ design.The available historical records suggest that the Framers did not intend federal equitable remedies to reach as broadly as we have permitted.Anticipating the growth of our modern doctrine, the Anti-Federalists criticized the Constitution because it might be read to grant broad equitable powers to the federal courts.In response, the defenders of the Constitution ‘sold’ the new framework of government to the public by espousing a narrower interpretation of the equitypower.When an attack on the Constitution is followed by an open Federalist effort to narrow the provision, the approp[riate conclusion is that the drafters and ratifiers of the Constitution approved the more limited construction offered in response.See McIntyre v. Ohio Elections Commission, 514 US ____, 131 L Ed 2d 426 (1995)...

The rise of the English equity courts as an alternative to the rigors of the common law, and the battle between the courts of equity and the courts of common law, is by now a familiar tale.See T. Plucknett, A Concise History of the Common Law 191-198, 673-694 (5th ed 1956)...

Blackstone described the principal differences between courts of law and courts of equity as lying only in the ‘modes of administering justice’--’in the mode of proof, the mode of trial, and the mode of relief.’ 3 W. Blackstone, Commentaries 436 (1768).As to the last, the English jurist noted that courts of equityheld a concurrent jurisdiction when there is a ‘want of a more specific remedy, than can be obtained in the courts of law.’ Id., at 438.Throughout his discussion, Blackstone emphasized that courts of equity must be governed by rules and precedents no less than the courts of law. ‘[I]f a court of equity were still at sea, and floated upon the occasional opinion which the judge who happened to preside might entertain of conscience in every particular case , the inconvenience that would arise from this uncertainty , would be a worse evil than any hardship that could follow from rules too strict and inflexible.’ Id., at 440.If their remedial discretion has not been cabined, Blackstone warned, equity courts would have undermined the rule of law and produced arbitrary government. ‘[The judiciary’s] powers would have become too arbitrary to have been endured in a country like this, which boasts of being governed in all respects by law and not by will.’ Ibid. (footnote omitted); see also 1 id., at 61-62.

So cautioned, the Framers approached equity with suspicion.As Thomas Jefferson put it, ‘Relieve the judges from the rigour of text law and permit them, with praetorian discretion, to wander into it’s equity, and the whole legal system becomes incertain.”9 Papers of Thomas Jefferson71 (J. Boyd ed 1954).”

–”As to what constitutes cruel and unusual punishment, it has long ago decided that the standard set was not by what was the prevailing norm in 1789, but rather by an evolving adaptation to new evils. Weems v. United States, 217 US 349, 373, 54 L. Ed. 793 (1910).The standard Weems approved has been repeatedly invoked to permit the application of ‘evolving standards of decency,’ e.g., Stanford v. Kentucky, 492 US 361, 369[] (1989), quoting Trop v. Dulles, 356 US 86, 101[] (1958)(plurality opinion).”

Fierro v. Gomez, 790 F. Supp. 972, 978 (N.D. Cal., 1992), J. Noonan’s dissent

–In 1909, Paul A. Weems, a U.S. Governmental official stationed in the Philippines, was sentenced under Penal Code of Spain provisions including cadena temporal, Arts. 105,106 providing that those so sentenced “shall labor for the benefit of the state.They shall always carry a chain at the ankle, hanging from the wrists; they shall be employed at hard and painful labor, and shall receive no assistance whatsoever from without the institution.” Plus he had “civil interdiction” imposed: “Art. 42. Civil interdiction shall deprive the person punished, as long as he suffers it, of the rights of parental authority, guardianship of person and property,and the right to dispose of his own property by acts inter vivos…”As Justice McKenna, delivering the opinion of the Court, observed, “It must be confessed that they [these provisions], and the sentence in this case, excite wonder in minds accustomed to a more considerate adaptation of punishment to the degree of crime.In a sense the law in controversy seems to be independent of degrees.One may be an offender against it, as we have seen, though he gain nothing and injure nobody.” [One such jurisdictional offense was “perverting the truth”]

Weems v. United States, 217 US 349, 364,368 (1910)

–”Other cases [citing “cruel and unusual punishment”] have selected certain tyrannical acts of the English monarchs as illustrating the meaning of the clause and the extent of its prohibition. [Story, in his work on the Constitution, vol. 2, 5th ed. Sec. 1903,] expressed the view that the provision [against cruel and unusual punishment] ‘would seem to be wholly unnecessaryin a free government, since it is scarcely possible that any department of such a government should authorize or justify such atrocious conduct.’ He, however, observed that is was ‘adapted as an admonition to all departments of the national government , to warn them against such violent proceedings as had taken place in the arbitrary reigns of some of the Stuarts.’ [citing Elliot’s Debates, and the remarks of Patrick Henry at the Virginia Convention.] Henry and those who believed as he did would take no chances.Their predominant political impulse was distrust of power, and they insisted on constitutional limitations against its abuse…They were men of action, practical and sagacious, not beset with vain imagining, and it must have come to them that…[w]ith power in a legislature great, if not unlimited, to give criminal character to the actions of men…what more potent instrument of cruelty could be put into the hands of power…We cannot think that the possibility of a coercive cruelty being exercised through other forms of punishment was overlooked.We say ‘coercive cruelty,’ because there was more to be considered than the ordinary criminal laws.Cruelty might become an instrument of tyranny; of zeal for a purpose, either honest or sinister.” Ibid, at 368-373.

–”During the reigns of the Stuarts the King’s judges had imposed heavy fines on the King’s enemies, much as the Star Chamber had done before its abolition in 1641.L. Schwoerer, The Declaration of Rights, 1689, p. 91 (1981).In the 1680’s the use of fines ‘became even more excessive and partisan,’ and some opponents of the King were forced to remain in prison because they could not pay the huge monetary penalties that had been assessed.Ibid [fn. citing the 1683 Trial of Thomas Pilkington, and others, for a Riot, 9 State Tr. 187, and the 1684 Trial of Sir Samuel Barnardiston, 9 State Tr. 1333.]The group which drew up the 1689 Bill of Rights had firsthand experience; several had been subjected to heavy fines by the King’s bench.

[Adendum: 2:2:08]:

As I’ve been more concerned avout Hillary’s husband, Bubba, than her–I believe her when she cried about no one appreciating her sacrifice and pain–I’m going to offer up soem Old Fashioned quotes for m the Good Book (with the caveat that when I was suckered in to study to be an Ordained Lay Minister of the Word of the Presbyterian Church (which I am), which, in the interests of full disclosure I have to admit, I asked my Pastor a question–when he was asked a question about “if Jews are authentically spriritual, how can they ge to Heaven without the Christ?” To which he responded, “Well, they have a separate area of Heaven…” Myself, not knowing the “separate yet equal (argument in the ignorant bliss of being just a boy nonetheless responded, “You mean like Valhalla, where they give a place to the dogs?):

And they sacrificed their sons & daughters to Moloch (explaining the current “25 top meltdowns” the paparazzi make so much money off exploiting in this Land of the Sheeple, Land of the Brain-Dead: (i.e., isn’t it the “MAD [BOYSIES} OF MALE PRIVILEGE" (like the TV series) who are responssible for "teen-age sluts" in this country...Little boys not wanting to give up their toys...

So, I guess my concern is: Why replace little boysies with little girlsies? From personal experience, I can tell you it's all the same: the Three Stooges, C.P,'s lesbian daughters, coinsprie against you for life--until, like Mark Anthony, you look upon the once fish-spangled horizon and see, instead, triple-oared beating machines of black death, all beating with Empire-unison...

The pertinent Biblical texts follow in very literal translation. The word here translated literally as 'seed' very often means offspring. The forms containing mlk have been left untranslated. The reader may substitute either "to Moloch" or "as a molk".

Leviticus 18.21

And you shall not let any of your seed pass through l'Molech, neither shall you profane the name of your God: I am the Lord.

Leviticus 20.2–5:

Again, you shall say to the Sons of Israel: Whoever he be of the Sons of Israel or of the strangers that sojourn in Israel, that gives any of his seed l'Molech; he shall surely be put to death: the people of the land shall stone him with stones. And I will set my face against that man and will cut him off from among his people; because he has given of his seed l'Molech, to defile my sanctuary, and to profane my holy name. And if the people of the land do at all hide their eyes from that man, when he gives of his seed l'Molech, and do not kill him, then I will set my face against that man, and against his family, and will cut him off, and all that go astray after him, whoring l'Molech from among the people.

2 Kings 23.10 (on King Josiah's reform):

And he defiled the Tophet, which is in the valley of Ben-hinnom, that no man might make his son or his daughter pass through the fire l'Molech.

Jeremiah 32.35:

And they built the high places of the Ba‘al, which are in the valley of Ben-hinnom, to cause their sons and their daughters to pass through the fire l'Molech; which I did not command them, nor did it come into my mind that they should do this abomination, to cause Judah to sin

[ADDENDUM (2/08/08)]

in light of Super Tuesday–and I did not only register as a Democrat (formerly Green) but too voted for Mr. Obama…Registration is a matter of public record, and, FYI, if one works for the Federal Gov’t. in any capacity one is not permitted to register for a political party/affiliation…Why folks like Ron Dellums & Tom Hayden (among others) were found, curiously enough, to be not registered for their political party yet nonetheless were elected as its candidate…

Besides Mr. Obama’s strong showing among the better-educated of all “races” (Hillary seems to have the older white women vote locked up, perhaps why she received her latest endorsement from an unlikely source–Ann Coulter, who said that she was “more of a conservative than John McCain”) the lesson to be drawn from the results is the dying away of the “political machine” as we’ve known it (some southern pol promised his state, Alabama, I believe, to Hillary and they voted for Oback)…

Good news, given the troubling appearances worldwide of nepotistic dynasties with too much of a resemble to ancient “empire, not liberty…” (Bhutto willing her leadership to her son!?!).

Hillary and Bill indeed may have all the “experience” as to how to power-monger and spin-meister from “day 1″ (it does take years of machievellian strategizing to figure out the ins & outs in the matter), but it’s of what my late Rinpoche, Chogyam Trungpa, called “the setting sun world…’ Not saying we “can do” but “this is all we got”…A cynicism born of “expertise” and a paucity of soul managing to “palm oneself off” as one who “gives a damn,” if you will…

Great for, as Mussolini said, making the trains run on time and other “populist” issues, but, in terms of paradigm building, an utter failure of vision that leads to “more of the same”…(Thomas Kuhn’s little book, “The Structure of Scientific Revolutions,” applies principles of quantum physics to the process of thought–when a group of particles reach the “super-excited state,” a quantum leap in the amount of energy being generated by them occurs without the addition of any new particles. Now maybe can see the real power of ideas like ethical “hope” in effecting change far more profound than a buncha Bubba’s sittin’ round the pickle barrel talkin bout “what we gotta do…” (allusion to the playwright John Ford Noonan’s play, “Buncha chicks sittin round talkin”…)

And in answer to my critics, denizens of this “setting sun” POV (the ones going it’s the boy’s own dang fault for being so lonely) I do not, in fact, find myself “lonely.” Rather I’ve learned to be comfortable, as a part of my spiritual path, with the nature of aloneness…

I quote the Trungpa about the “Great Eastern Sun” panoramic vista:

The view that the sacred world is Great relates to its primordial quality. That is, sacredness goes back and back through history to prehistory to before history. Before thought, before mind had ever thought anything at all. This wisdom is old and young at the same time, and is never diminished by the relative problems in the world. The sacred world is connected with East, because there are always possibilities of vision in this world. East represents the dawn of wakefulness, the horizon of human consciousness where vision is constantly arising. Wherever you are, when you open your eyes, you always look ahead, to the East. You always have possibilities of wakeful vision, even in the most degraded or confused situations. Finally, the sacred world is lighted by the Sun, which is the principle of never-ending brilliance and radiance. The sun is also connected with seeing self-existing possibilities of virtue and richness in the world. The Great Eastern Sun is eternally blazing: it has no need of fuel. There is actually greater luminosity that occurs without fuel, without even a pilot light. Seeing the sacred world is witnessing that greater vision, which is there all the time.

The vertical stripes stage-right of the yellow Sun disc represent the four dignities of the Shambhala warrior. The blue stripe closest to the Sun represents the warrior dignity of Inscrutability. The next stripe shown is red, representing the warrior dignity of Outrageousness. The next is orange, representing the warrior dignity of Perkiness. The final stripe in the sequence is white, representing the warrior dignity of Meekness.

The dawning of the Great Eastern Sun unfolds with the experience of joining sadness and joy. According to the Shambhala principles you should feel that way with everything you do. Whether you have a good time or a bad time, you should feel sad and delighted at once. That is how to be a real decent human being, and it is also connected with the Buddhist principle of longing or devotion. Longing is the hunger for sacredness. When you begin to feel you’re too much in the secular world, you long for the sacred world. Therefore you feel sad, and you open yourself up that way. When you feel so sad and tender, that also brings ideas for how to uplift the rest of the world. Joining sadness and joy is the only mechanism that brings the vision of the Great Eastern Sun.

The Great Eastern Sun has three qualities. From the experience of the simultaneity of sadness and joy, we radiate peaceful confidence, which is the first quality of the Great Eastern Sun. Second is illuminating the way of discipline, which is realising what to accept and what to reject. That aspect of the Great Eastern Sun is like turning on the light. If you are standing in the middle of a dark room and you have no idea wha”s around you, when you switch on the light, you will know what to accept and reject. The third quality is becoming the eternal ruler of the three worlds, or conquering the three worlds. Having developed a sad and joyous situation, seeing what to accept and what to reject, therefore, you feel a sense of joy and achievement. This is conquering the threefold world, which, roughly speaking, corresponds to the heaven, earth, and man, or human, principles.

Conquering here is very personal. It is related with one’s attitude towards oneself and one’s world when one begins to see the Great Eastern Sun. You could say that, when you switch on the light, it conquers your room because there’s no darkness left. Conquering here is not the concept of a battle. It’s just switching on the light. That is the synopsis, so to speak, of the qualities of the Great Eastern Sun.

How to cultivate the Great Eastern Sun, as we discussed altogether, comes from joy and sadness put together, which might be something like sweet and sour pork.

[ADDENDUM 02/12/08]:

Forgot one of the most important parts of “learning lessons” from the Super Tuesday results:

• The Sun is setting on “Indentity-mongering” as a method of political-machining–while of course someone will, down the road, dig it out of the trash-heap of history, for now my sons and daughters can be safely assured that none will ever have to endure what I did at the “dirty hands” of those, like the Clintons & Bushes, who built regimes based on the notion of “enemies” that were not, as Hitler used to make appeal “of the same blood & soil as me, you are mine…”
• The Sun is setting on “the four horsemen of apocalyptic Hell,” i.e., Farrakhan, Jackson, Sharpton & Bey (no “law” firm there, I guarantee)…(BTW, anybody but me notice how, in recent years, Jackson sounds like a Deep South Arkansa Bubba–when I heard him at Cal, as an undergrad, he was most definitely “urban,’ with almost a French subtle accent) As for the Black Muslims ranting about “Islamic fate,” well have a looksie at the remains of the Bakery tyranny–dead, disgraced, bankrupt and/or in/headed for prison…
• The “Guiliani strategy,” Hillary, didn’t work because it was perceived as arrogant and elitist amongst “the little folk” who don’t count in your election machine strategy…
• When the Chief Executive of the country commits perjury under oath, every Pro & Joe feels justified doing the same…It ain’t just Clemens and Bonds we talking about, either, some say the number is around 200 for baseball alone…(You know, why is it the French leader picks, for his affair, a supermodel who is quite bright, used to hang with Eric Clapton, and is a musician herself, and us Americans get stuck with Monica Lewinsky and a Bubba-in-denial…maybe those Europeans ain’t as dumb or provincial as some folks making careers outta teaching love to claim…)

The Trib this AM had a summary of the “Bey legacy”: [excerpt]:

“

Litany of complaints against Black Muslim Bakery

By Mary Fricker, THE CHAUNCEY BAILEY PROJECT

Article Created: 02/13/2008 02:50:38 AM PST

var requestedWidth = 0;

if(requestedWidth > 0){ document.getElementById(‘articleViewerGroup’).style.width = requestedWidth + “px”; document.getElementById(‘articleViewerGroup’).style.margin = “0px 0px 10px 10px”; } OAKLAND — Women and girls who lived or worked at Your Black Muslim Bakery in Oakland said they complained at least 10 times to authorities that bakery patriarch Yusuf Bey sexually and physically abused them, but no one took action until Oakland police Officer Jim Saleda launched an investigation in 2002 that resulted in Bey’s arrest. Five women testified that Bey abused them and many others from 1968 to 2002, and Saleda heard from about 10 other people who told of times when Bey assaulted minors, according to his investigation report. Bey fathered at least 42 children with 14 women and girls, including eight children by three of the women who testified against him.

The Chauncey Bailey Project, a consortium of news organizations continuing the reporting that Oakland Post Editor Chauncey Bailey was working on when he was killed Aug. 2, has documented a number of the allegations against Bey. See coverage on News 5.”

The Trib also reported on the startling crime rampage in Oak-town…When you see what ole Yusef et al got away with, due to complacent and complicit pols like Elihu Harris, Barbara Lee and, yeah, ole CIA (former, I think he managed to get his ass fired finally) paid employee (again, something, as in any kind of “informant,” not anything that I have ever been) Ronald Dellums, why now everyone else wants a turn at the hog trough…

FYI, ole Ronald “McDonald the clown” Dellums was caught, by the UCPD, stalking me about ten to fifteen years ago…Part of a conference at Dwinelle Hall (my old Prof. of African-American Film Studies, the late Albert Johnson, was ther too), Dellums went outside just before I crossed campus on my nightly walk to where I was camping in the hills (under the old cannon platform by the football stadium). His erratic behavior–when I looked over and recognized him, he was stalking about in his typically gawky, geeky way, and, as the UCPD observed, “appeared to be intoxicated/under the influence of drugs…” He was also packing a pistol, for which he claimed he had a permit…

Perhaps one can see why I tire of the ignorant and willfully sch-too-pid who continue to bad-mouth me…

When I began my Buddhist practice again, very seriously, after having become disenchanted with my “old days”–hanging with gangsters as a consigliere, dating women who were (powder) coke dealers at Oaktown bars, working so damn hard on my acting and voice (replacing a lazy, Oaktown “black” hood drawl with a Shakespearean/Irish Brahmin precision) and screenplay, only to have it all ripped off and taken away from me–Tibetan Buddhists were going through some very interesting times…As a result of my arduous practice, I began to develop what are known as “siddhis,” extranormal abilities considered to be stepping stones of the path to enlightenment…

So, yeah, as the Company was blowing millions a year at places like Stanford (Stargate Project, I believe) trying to corner the market on “psychics,” I managed to garner their attention… (Fortunately, Langley’s Cray mainframe mysteriously shut down several times during this “testing,” or I most likely would not be here now…)

By the way, a few of my accomplishments–during these very dangerous days–were:

• happenstance’ing across Sgt. Boga on Telegraph (on my way to my hills exile) as he was chit-chatting a “newbie” on the scene…(something about the guy, from France/Algeria, said “bad news” to me & without saying a word tipping the matter off Boga picked up on it…)
• happenstance’ing across UCPD’s “LeDonna” questioning a guy pushing a cart of cans & bottles on Piedmont (again, on my way home to my hills’ exile) one night–LeDonna had recently followed up on my allegations of a set-up by the two (very different in appearance) “Michell Piquot’s” and, too, had interviewed the Mining Circle Gate parking attendant on the night in question–who had heard nothing disturbing the winter break peace during his shift…Again, I didn’t recognize the guy as part of “the scene,” and, sure enough, LeDonna was to find out after I’d gone, he was packing a pistola!…(Surprise, surprise, surprise!)
• To honor my daughters, I leave, too, the legacy of being an extremely stubborn psychic who helped dismantle the “forced dating Gestapo” that had rampaged across Cal a decade or so ago…My daughters will never be forced to anyone to “perform” in any way for any dirtbag whatsoever–no matter what he thinks his “Identity” is…(And for those of you still not clear on “the concept,” remember that I was a “star pupil” in former History Chair Martin Jay’s “History of European Intellectualism” seminar–at the time considered pretty radical, given the emphasis on Hegel’s “dialectics” of consciousness change and the Frankfurt School’s Marcuse, Theodore Adorno (read his pithy sermon on “group egos” being the psychological foundation of fascism), etc….But in recent past, I suppose, something that’ll get ya tarred & feathered by Deep South inferiority complexes in all the Earl Schieb 99 “colors”…)

For the record, all it got me is “paper-jacketed exile” from the Head Spook, Bush the Elder–whose peeps began referring to me as “E.T.”, i.e., we gots to keep hims isolated, Unkah Jed, he’s an alien! (Yeah, ole Hosie/Jethro and the lesbian CIA’s Lissa Tyler Renaud were the key players in this hillariously clever new game! )

So when the Clintons took over and ran the same damn game–albeit with a different, “multiple/contradictory scenario” (this “right-wing scion” nonsense, which makes no sense when examined in the light of how my “family” cheated me out of inheritances meant to pay for me law school education because these “Christian” fundamentalists thought I was “tainted” with “bad blood” from my Hunkpapa Sioux forebearer, Chief Sitting Bull’s Medicine Woman relative) –why perhaps one can sense the seeds of my gradual disenchantment with those two et al cocksuckers…(remember, Bubba brought his kneepads to the recent Bohemian Grove ‘s “Hillbilly Weekend,” attended by Bush the Elder…)

‘nuf said for now…

ADDENDUM 3/ 04/08:

This blog is personal therapy for me, and represents my opinions alone. One of them is that the time has come for Barack’s “politics of inclusion” rather than the status quo’s “politics of exclusion”…

It’s like Heisenberg’s Uncertainty Principle. (Good joke: guy talking to his shrink says, Doc, I got a problem…I’ve been living in a state of uncertainty for so long now I think that my name’s Heisenberg…

The gist is: subatomic particles and waves were once thought to be mutually exclusive…Heisenberg proved that, if you have particles and you set up a barrier to exclude particles but not waves and then attempt to get the particles through, what happens? They change to waves and pass through…

So if you socially engineer barriers of exclusion (usually based on irrationalities, i.e., I don’t like your [skin color, opinions, place of origin, etc. ] , all that time and energy and taxpayer money is a huge waste, because sooner or later the people designated as “particles” will change to “waves,” and vice-versa…

Today should be the day when the chance for authentic “change” will become serious reality…Even in Texas and Ohio, with Hillary’s core constituency of affective schizophrenic, out-of-touch with Mother Earth as well, clunky old fustilugs, Barack should, to spite the racism of these addled relics, win…

For an interesting take on Texas, check out my short story “Waylon, Willie & the boys” in “Fiction”…

By the way, here’s an interesting column:

Jewish World Review Feb. 13, 2008 / 7 Adar I 5768 Who is ‘Fascist’? By Thomas Sowell

http://www.JewishWorldReview.com | Those who put a high value on words may recoil at the title of Jonah Goldberg’s new book, “Liberal Fascism.” As a result, they may refuse to read it, which will be their loss — and a major loss.

Those who value substance over words, however, will find in this book a wealth of challenging insights, backed up by thorough research and brilliant analysis.

This is the sort of book that challenges the fundamental assumptions of its time — and which, for that reason, is likely to be shunned rather than criticized.

Because the word “fascist” is often thrown around loosely these days, as a general term of abuse, it is good that “Liberal Fascism” begins by discussing the real Fascism, introduced into Italy after the First World War by Benito Mussolini.

The Fascists were completely against individualism in general and especially against individualism in a free market economy. Their agenda included minimum wage laws, government restrictions on profit-making, progressive taxation of capital, and “rigidly secular” schools.

Unlike the Communists, the Fascists did not seek government ownership of the means of production. They just wanted the government to call the shots as to how businesses would be run.

They were for “industrial policy,” long before liberals coined that phrase in the United States.

Indeed, the whole Fascist economic agenda bears a remarkable resemblance to what liberals would later advocate.

Moreover, during the 1920s “progressives” in the United States and Britain recognized the kinship of their ideas with those of Mussolini, who was widely lionized by the left.

Famed British novelist and prominent Fabian socialist H.G. Wells called for “Liberal Fascism,” saying “the world is sick of parliamentary politics.”

Another literary giant and Fabian socialist, George Bernard Shaw, also expressed his admiration for Mussolini — as well as for Hitler and Stalin, because they “did things,” instead of just talk. In Germany, the Nazis followed in the wake of the Italian Fascists, adding racism in general and anti-semitism in particular, neither of which was part of Fascism in Italy or in Franco’s Spain.

Even the Nazi variant of Fascism found favor on the left when it was only a movement seeking power in the 1920s.

W.E.B. DuBois was so taken with the Nazi movement that he put swastikas on the cover of a magazine he edited, despite complaints from Jewish readers.

Even after Hitler achieved dictatorial power in Germany in 1933, DuBois declared that the Nazi dictatorship was “absolutely necessary in order to get the state in order.”

As late as 1937 he said in a speech in Harlem that “there is today, in some respects, more democracy in Germany than there has been in years past.”

In short, during the 1920s and the early 1930s, Fascism was not only looked on favorably by the left but recognized as having kindred ideas, agendas and assumptions.

Only after Hitler and Mussolini disgraced themselves, mainly by their brutal military aggressions in the 1930s, did the left distance themselves from these international pariahs.

Fascism, initially recognized as a kindred ideology of the left, has since come down to us defined as being on “the right” — indeed, as representing the farthest right, supposedly further extensions of conservatism.

If by conservatism you mean belief in free markets, limited government, and traditional morality, including religious influences, then these are all things that the Fascists opposed just as much as the left does today.

The left may say that they are not racists or anti-semites, like Hitler, but neither was Mussolini or Franco. Hitler, incidentally, got some of his racist ideology from the writings of American “progressives” in the eugenics movement.

Jonah Goldberg’s “Liberal Fascism” is too rich a book to be summarized in a newspaper column. Get a copy and start re-thinking the received notions about who is on “the left” and who is on “the right.” It is a book for people who want to think, rather than repeat rhetoric.

Maybe one can see why over a decade of abuse at the dirty hands of Hillary’s–and her conservative Catholic FBI guy, Freeh (“little Lloyd”) who institutionalized “identity mongering” as covers for his operatives, with “separate but equal” jurisdictions based on these arbitrary “group egos”–can begin to make one a wee bit weary…People, especially these granny gestapo types with their peculiar sense of fashion, who don’t have a clue about you getting right in your face with “there’s no way it’s your poetry” & “there’s no way it’s your life story” & my personal fave, making absolutely no sense at all, “it’s King Toopid!”…It’s is exactly the same as ignorant Deep South Bubba’s telling a black person “why you so uppity” & “who do you think you are, you ain’t going/getting nowhere…”

ADDENDUM: 3/05/08:

The following is from a forwarded email:

Let’s take a closer look at who is really qualified and or who is really working for the good of all of us in the Senate. Obama or Clinton?

Records of these two candidates should be scrutinized in order to make an informed decision…Senator Clinton:

Senator Clinton, who has served only one full term–six years, and another year campaigning, has managed to author and pass into law twenty pieces of legislation in her first six years.

These bills can be found on the website of the Library of Congress www.thomas.loc.gov. To save you trouble, I will post them here for you:

1. Establish the Kate Mullany National Historic Site.

2. Support the goals and ideals of Better Hearing and Speech Month.

3. Recognize the Ellis Island Medal of Honor.

4. Name courthouse after Thurgood Marshall.

5. Name courthouse after James L. Watson.

6. Name post office after Jonn A. O’Shea.

7. Designate August 7, 2003, as National Purple Heart Recognition Day.

8. Support the goals and ideals of National Purple Heart Recognition Day.

9. Honor the life and legacy of Alexander Hamilton on the bicentennial of his death.

10. Congratulate the Syracuse University Men’s Lacrosse Team on winning the

championship.<BR>

11. Congratulate the Le Moyne College Men’s Lacrosse Team on winning the

championship.

12. Establish the 225th Anniversary of the American Revolution Commemorative

Program.

13. Name post office after Sergeant Riayan A. Tejeda.

14. Honor Shirley Chisholm for her service to the nation and express condolences

on her death.

15. Honor John J. Downing, Brian Fahey, and Harry Ford–firefighters who lost their

lives on duty. Only five of Clinton ‘s bills are more substantive.

16. Extend period of unemployment assistance to victims of 9/11.

17. Pay for city projects in response to 9/11.

18. Assist landmine victims in other countries.

19. Assist family caregivers in accessing affordable respite care.

20. Designate part of the National Forest System in Puerto Rico as protected in

the wilderness preservation system.

Senator Obama

Now, I would post those of Obama’s, but the list is too substantive, so I will mainly categorize them. During the first eight years of his elected service he sponsored over 820 bills. He introduced:

233 regarding healthcare reform;

125 on poverty and public assistance;

112 crime fighting bills;

97 economic bills;

60 human rights and anti-discrimination bills;

21 ethics reform bills;

15 gun control; and

6 veterans affairs and many others.

His first year in the U.S. Senate, he authored 152 bills and co-sponsored another 427. These included:

Coburn-Obama Government Transparency Act of 2006–became law,

Lugar-Obama Nuclear Non-proliferation and Conventional Weapons Threat

Reduction Act–became law,

Comprehensive Immigration Reform Act–passed the Senate,

The 2007 Government Ethics Bill–became law,

The Protection Against Excessive Executive Compensation Bill is In committee, and many more.

In all, since entering the U.S. Senate, Senator Obama has written 890 bills and co-sponsored another 1,096. There you have it, the facts straight from the Senate Record.

An impressive record for someone who supposedly has no record according to some who would prefer that this comparison not be made public. He is not just a talker–he is a doer.

Pass it on….It’s impressive!

Coupla further items just waiting to be aired:

[from Wikipedia]:

Fires plagued the Cuyahoga beginning in 1936 when a spark from a blow torch ignited floating debris and oils. Fires erupted on the river several more times before June 22, 1969, when a river fire captured the attention of Time magazine, which described the Cuyahoga as the river that “oozes rather than flows” and in which a person “does not drown but decays.”^[3]

This event helped spur an avalanche of pollution control activities resulting in the Clean Water Act, Great Lakes Water Quality Agreement, and the creation of the federal and state Environmental Protection Agency. As a result, large point sources of pollution on the Cuyahoga have received significant attention from the Ohio Environmental Protection Agency in recent decades. These events are referred to in Randy Newman’s 1972 song “Burn On“, Adam Again’s 1992 song “River on Fire”, and R.E.M.’s 1986 song “Cuyahoga“.

As I remember it (I was born in Cleveland, Cuyahoga Co. Hospital), after having to tell people that , Yeah, I’m from Cleveland, Ohio–you know, the place where the river caught fire–when they sent in the fireboats to quell the five-story flames in the river they trained water guns on it, which only loosed smaller chunks of burning flames to float about at random…

Ohio, too, is the Columbus home of my Uncle James Hunter McNenny, the lawyer (since disbarred) who deliberately cheated me out of my Grandfather McNenny’s inheritance (along with his co-conspirator “C.P.,” the head sorcereer’s apprentice buzzard from Hinkley roosting in just about anybody’s home he could connive, lie, cheat & steal his way into (he did work as a professional liar and spreader of disinformation for the Dept. of State, after all)…The palatable reason, of course, was that I had that tainted Injun blood from Sitting Bull’s womenfolk in me…(As did my Grandpa Mac, even more so, making the illegal and immoral disregarding of his bequest even more “American Psycho”)

So, no wonder that this state voted for the Bubba’s of Old…

As for Texas, one-third of the adult population are illiterate to the point of being unable to determine whether a prescription bottle is poison or medicine…One-third of the babies born there have to be supported by Medicaid…So, cowed into submission by the powers that be, the people who need change the most are the ones most unable to make it happen by frittering away their right to vote intelligently…

Last parting shot of the day: Those “attack dog” ads of Hillary’s–watch out for PA, where Hillbilly Hound from Hell Jimmy Carville will be completely unleashed (for those wondering about the strangeness of questioning Barack’s religious beliefs, Carville had huge success shooting down a Rep. candidate there a while back by merely associating him with the the late Maharishi Mahesh Yogi and the TM people, for Christ’s sake! Think Callender & his convincing all the fustilugs of the past that Thomas Jefferson, already seduced by an “African devil” of a woman, was going to send people to take away their Bibles! which, they proudly reported, they foiled by hiding them under their bedroom pillows) in which she asks, “Who do you want answering the White House phone at 3 AM?,” well, let’s examine the subliminal message: Obama is one of them-there typical black males and he-ll most likely be out whooping it up with his ho’s, Unkah Jed! One could further ask, i.e., the Tale of Two Hillaries, which Hillary is going to answer the phone? The one all meek and polite and gracious, as on SNL, or the tyranness from the Clinton White House years notorious for late night (and sometimes violent, as in throwing lamps and other handy objects) blowups with Bubba (who, at 3 AM, maybe was returning home from a night with one of his ho’s…)

I.e., are we gonna be subject to Dr. Strangelove and his “I’m, in command around here!”?

Classic Freudian projection…

ADDENDUM: 3/10/08:

Well, well, well…Thank God for Bubba and his hubris…Besides the eerie evocation of “Dream Team” (can we say “OJ” boysies & girlsies), he, mired in the typical Clinton politics of Egomania and Self-Aggrandizement, let loose with what will most likely become footnoted as one of the worst political gaffes in history…

***MIDI sounds of Stevie Wonder’s “Living for the City”…”here, slick, here just hold this for me a sec, I’ll be right back…”***

Here, Barack, just put this uniform on, take this lantern and go out on the White House front lawn to greet the guests we got coming…And Congrats, you in da house now!

And we ain’t talking Diogenes and his lantern looking for “one honest man,” if you dig what I mean…

This arrogance is what typified the Clinton’s Reign of Error & Terror and, unless the Dummykins get a clue, will sink the party’s chances at the polls like the Titanic Redux…The conservative pundits were all over this nonsense of, as Mr. Obama pointed out himself, the candidate in second-place condescending as if she’d somehow wrapped the nomination (the desperation is directed at the DNC, too, the Clinton’s have “greymail” up their sleeves with which they’re planning to hold superdelegates hostage)…

And as for Hillary being referred to as a “monster…willing to sink to anything to get elected,” well it wouldn’t be the first time in history we’ve had a tyrranness (female tyrant) now would it?

Exhibit A: Marie Antoinette…Exhibit B: Queen Elizabeth the First…Exhibit C: Maeve, Morgan LeFay, Kundrie and the other power-mongering sorceresses of Celtic History hellbent on winning “by any means necessary”…

Queen Elizabeth in particular, bears comparison: upon the Earl of Essex’s return to England, after declining to continue her campaign of exterminating the Irish as “Satan the Ape’s folly” beheaded for having an “opinion” in the matter…Too, her peculiarly cruel “plantation system,” forerunner of the one in the States, wherein some noble Irishman had his house and lands seized and given to one of her sycophantic coterie as a “favor.” The poor guy finding out, too, that he’s now on a “Bill of Attainder,” i.e., “dead at law,” forbidden from any remedy in the matter and, if he continues to complain, merely assassinated…His wife and children so “attainted” as well…

Now see what a field day the Replutocrats (given McCain’s adroit media manipulation in the NYT thing) are going to have with the Clinton’s political machine’s granting various “favors” for dirty deeds done…And how their politics of “preferencing” caused such outrage among hard-working Americans, having entered into a Social Compact with their government in which any and all “abide by the rules,” having been cheated out of one reward for their efforts or another, or even redress for legal grievance…

Mr. Obama would be well-advised to address that deep-seated anger in this country–with the reminder that under Dictator-for-Life Hillary, it will simply be in now way “Liberty” but “Empire-as-Usual…”

WASHINGTON — The FBI acknowledged it improperly accessed Americans’ telephone records, credit reports and Internet traffic in 2006, the fourth straight year of privacy abuses resulting from investigations aimed at tracking terrorists and spies.

“An audit by the inspector general last year found the FBI demanded personal records without official authorization or otherwise collected more data than allowed in dozens of cases between 2003 and 2005. Additionally, last year’s audit found that the FBI had underreported to Congress how many national security letters were requested by more than 4,600…

“In 2005, for example, Fine’s office found more than 1,000 violations within 19,000 FBI requests to obtain 47,000 records. Each letter issued may contain several requests….”

What we have here is a failure to communicate (“The Warden,” from Cool Hand Luke, 1967)

Perhaps one can see why I, as a private civilian allegedly entitled to First and Fourth Amendment protections, find so offensive matters as, upon logging into my MySpace account, some dweeb dressed in a Hooverite “law enforcement” getup posing as “Callie wants to be your friend…” (The message being, hey, guess what, I’ve got nothing better to do with taxpayer time & money than abuse the FBI’s authority by interfering with your Rights to Associate (a “penumbra” of protection, as the Supreme Court noted in NAACP v. Alabama)…

This dictating of one’s Rights to Associate began under Bush the Elder (whose Old Guard first reinvented the “you gotta be gay or gonesie” gulag and its lunkhead enforcement Gestapo) and then, in one of many irrational matters furthered under President Bubba Clinton, became a primary weapon in the Clinton’s “wargames” arsenal…

So, to hear yet another of Hillary’s ossifed and fossilized Egomaniacs, Ms. Ferraro, belittle Mr. Obama in the Bubba’s Barack-for-Lawn-Jockey-08! peculair “Clinton-Speak,” I’m reminded of yet another matter that’s just gotta go, period!

When I was hacking the mean, toe-up streets of Oaktown as a night cabdriver–working on my screenplay about the matter, City of Nights (play on Paris), and taking acting classes three nights a week–I had a number of female “personals,” women who would call me as they knew they could depend on me to: A)be on time, B) be reliable, and C) always be a gentleman…One of these was a woman working her way through Cal as a stripper in North Beach…Another was a nurse at Providence Hospital, who got off shift at midnight, and, being young, black & beautiful,and didn’t trust public transport…One night Valerie was a little tipsy and told me it was her birthday…I congratulated her and she said, Guess what, I’ve decided that you are going to be my birthday present!

I took her to my apartment…In the early morning, as we were leaving (I had to have the cab back in the lot and ready by 7 A.M. for the day driver, who also happened to be the cab company owner), ole Molly Baird, the building manager–and a nasty ole Little Rock Arkansas redneck, is sitting on the stairs landing, smoking a cigarette and awaiting us…What you doing with the nigger bitch, Tom? she snarls…I told her that I was greatly insulted and demanded that she apologize to my friend…She shot back, Why, she’s dressed like a whore, that’s what she is, isn’t she…You pimping her or what?…Without bothering to explain my friend’s eclectic sense of fashion (which I loved), I told her that my friend was a nurse at Providence and “most likely makes three times what you do, you hillbilly piece of trash…”

I got evicted the next month but it was worth it…

She–like every single other one of my personals or girlfriends from those “old days”–got brutalized and humiliated under federal “color of state law” authority (i.e., just another “vajra lesson of compassion”…)

Go figure…Or, more to the point, given the mentality of the “furthering their undercovers” perps, go fish…

ADDENDUM: 3/14/08:

Well, well, well…I read the news today oh boy and saw that one of “little Lloyd’s” best “vajra lesson of compassion” minions encountered a karmic takedown, baby! We be talkin’ bout former NY Guv Spritizer; one of the most ruthless dictators of personal “rights to associate” on behalf of the Hooverites in DC…

Should send a few shockwaves amond Hillary’s Fustilug Gestapo–all of whom mish-takenly thinking that they’re “immune” for their sadistic takedowns of real females…

Give you a hypothetical example of why not just Hillary but all of her fustilugs are “monsters” (and if the appellation fits, baby, you be stuck with karmically wearing it…).

Here are some sxerpted, really happened “vajra lessons of compassion” the Clintons used along their bury the bodies along some lonesome Ark-ee-saw two-lane road to Hell (footnote to History: both Clintons and Gores were involved with the “politics of personal destruction”–as Hillary is unleashing, albeit” subtly,” upon Sen. Obama now–in mine own case going back to my attempting to hawk myself as a screenwriter and actor hacking a cab to get by…(and yeah, that most specifically means the murder of my college sweetheart Ms. Amy Linn from those “old days”). You see, it’s like becoming a blood brother in the Mafia without any of the honor or integrity…You do a buncha dirty tricks for the denizens of the decrepit bowels of Langley and someday you get to be Prez, boy! …

So tell me all about being a “right wing scion,” babydoll!

Here’s an excerpt from previous blogging, in which I cite legal briefs that I filed seeking an end to this illegal Gestapo: and if you don’t understand why folks like Spritzer (gotta admit he is pug-ugly, can see why he had to spend 5 grand on a call girl to get laid…), Hillary and Gore think that there are two sets of rules in the world–one, for us “inititated” insiders, and another for “the rest of ‘em,” well then I suggest you peruse “The Dual State” by Ernst Frankel, an intellectual who fled the Nazis for the US in the 30′s…Meticulous detailing how the Weimer Constitution was derailed into a system in which the inner elite among the Nazis did anything they wanted to anyone–especially the Jews, who, initially merely had all civil rights stripped away and were barred from civil courts for “redress of grievances”…

In other words, “the time has come” for flatfeet like UCPD’s Adan Tejada to be put back onj the leash by people with authority to do so–i.e., Chancellor Birgeneau, who, as Chancellor Chang-Lin Tien before him, finds himself in the position of having to ensure that “the letter of the law” is carried out by those designated “to protect and serve”…As for the other flatfeet Hooverites making the news with their outrageous invasions of privacy these days, well, somebody gonna have to “inform” them that flatfeet got no Reich to dictate Rights of Association, priviliged communications, culture or media, palsies…

Speaking of which, here we go: since Spritzer “showed great disrespect for females” by patronizing a call girl (we’re dealing in hypothetical s here, so just “play along”…), well, somebody gonna have to teahh him a “vajra lesson of compassion.” Here’s an actual one dumped on some poor fool (not moi, I guarantee–as a private civilian I got my own private “protection”): dress the boy up in leather, put him in a dog collar and leash, take him to the Castro in SF and “trick” him out all night (make sure you videotape it, too, so it can be peddled over the Internet by lunkhead FBI legacies like the “Catholic Worker” JC Orten (snitches on antiwar activists while posing as one)–who amuses himself by watching child pornography on his computer while his wife is out gang-banging the homies in Richmond for twenty dollar rocks…Now maybe you be getting why some of Bubba and Hillaries “fundraising” has such a “monstrous” dimension to it…)

As for Ferraro, here’s a real good one: (again, really happened, but in this case merely for Socratic examination) seize one of her daughters–maybe the one who got an MBA from Harvard, she’s bound to be real stuck up, Unkah Jed!–take away her AMEX card and Prius, and let everybody and anybody she is associated with be told, “she’s being taught a lesson: stay away unless you want to wind up doing the same”…Now dump her at the door of a homeless shelter, whose staff have already been “clued in,” and let her find out she gonna have to do the entire shelter in the bakc room to get a place to lay her head for the night…Next day, she can learn “humility” by having to serve a political fundraiser (most likely Bubba’s and Hillary’s) with a champagne bottle wedge up her rectum, so she can walk around all bent over and “pour” into the amused guests glasses…

You think any of the preceding is “hillarious,” why you be a monster too…

BLOG ENTRY May 30th, 2007:

Of course now I cannot find the case I wish to cite, as an intro to the ignorance behind these mish-taken “vajra lessons of compassion” having permeated the blockheads of far too many barbarians in this country (IDEA: have any & all persons born here take citizenship tests, as we require for those who emigrate here, to see if one understands the very simple and basic principles behind a “Constitutional Republic,” as opposed to a Dictatorship-for-Life Empire, as our chosen form of government). The US Attorney General’s name was Katzenbach, who, in the 1960′s, prosecuted a buncha fat bubbas sitting ’round the pickle barrel for issuing fatwah/edict/”vajra lessons of compassion” to whatever buck [n-words] happened to piss them off…The opinion is legendary in its language, with phrases like “wrapped in their misconceptions,” these “ignorant bullies” have “perverted our Constitution” and substituted a bizarrely inferior “Klanstitution”…

Did find these previous “Questions Presented,” in which the quoted matters are from previous high court decisions:

Whether “partisans” “sincerely dedicated to both the religious and secular” “strong positions on public issues,” “promot[ing] political action to achieve their goals,” thinking to ” champion,” in an “arena” novella, “political division along religious lines,”in spite of the “pervasive” “hazards” conflicting “with our whole history and traditions” thus “threat[ened],”are still to be viewed by those impartially in the position to do so as not only “entangling”Church and State impermiss-ably per se but too wrong-headedly “intruding into the legitimate and free exercise of religious belief,” “one of the principal evils against which the First Amendment was intended to protect”… ******

“[T]he Fourth Amendment was intended to bar government intrusion. The question surely must be – is the amendment so sterile that it pro-vides no real protection?” ******

Are “means” over “end” arguments–both “cloaked in the beguiling lan-guage of utilitarianism,” and, multiple-scenario-ism, too, smacking of neo-Epicureanism, an apikorsim narrow-mindedness and paucity of soul–to replace this country’s Judiciary system’s “awful responsibility” of deciding “questions” of “the great operations of the govern-ment,” therein allowing “sovereign states” to deny “the obligation of a law”; is a government “ordained and established” in the name of the people, with Congress as “necessary and proper” lawmakers, part of a sovereignty therein granted limited exercise, “not to be transcended,” of “enumerated powers,” to be razed as rubble by cultural revisionist his-tory–obviating, too, a Constitution “intended to endure for ages to come…to be adapted to the various crises of human nature,” requiring “careful and attentive consideration” if ”that instrument be not a splendid bauble” [?]

It also provides a foundation for new forms of community–communities based not on any accident of geographic proximity, but on bonds of common interest, belief, culture or temperament.” Marbury v.

PATRUL RINPOCHE

Home

So, here we have the ‘dialectical materialist” connundrum of Hillary & Co….As Hegel said (and as Josef Ernest Renan, his contemporary, said, “History always repeats itself; the first time as tragedy, the second as farce…”), given the contradictions of our “modern times” world view, eventually the poles of the contradiction will become glaringly transparent…

In a campaign stop in PA, ole Huck Huck Hillary, when asked what kind of pizza she had in Scranton-Wilkes-Barre (more on that history later), replied “white!” In the narcissistic-existentialist bouncing-around-like-a-damned-pinball Hell-Bardo that she and hubby-Bubba occupy, the moment reigns supreme (i.e., “five minutes ago never happened”). So those “ungrateful” and “uppity” black folk now supporting Mr. Obama are to be written off as no longer politically “necessary,” as the Latino’s are heir apparent to the new “house Negra’s” on the Clintonista Deep South Plan-tay-shun gulag…

Watched “Michael Collins” with Liam Neeson recently: as good King Arthur often said, “put little Judas right next to you [in the so-called "hot seat" of the Round Table, the seat to the right of the Righ]…” That way you can always can an eye on the little guttersnipe–a lesson that Mr. collins would have been well-advised to remember about that British Empire snitchjacket De Valera…

Speaking of which, at a friend’s caught “Enemy of the State,” with Will Smith…Now perhaps one will understand why I have so little patience or tolerance for those clunking about with accusations (all accompanied with, e.g., “we even have the right to intercept his US Mail!”) against me of being a “racist”…Disinformation is the craft of the devil, and, believe you may, the High Priests and Priestesses of Satan hidden in the decrepit bowels of Langley and the Pentagon have the matter perfected…

Finally, about the childish tantrums Hillary is throwing (claiming that”fair” elections took place in Michigan and Florida!?! so the results should be HERS),

I’m reminded of why I quit playing hoop at RSF some years ago…Our game of “regulars,” who played striaght up, was replaced by a few egomaniacs coming in, m aking bad calls, and, when challenged, grabbing the “rock,” storming about the gym and screaming and shouting about how they ain’t gonna give it up! The Clintons know damn well that they’re gonna lose–her core constituency of frightened little old white ladies can easily be stampeded to McCain–so they’re gonna play “the race card’ in ways that a more ethical opponent, i.e., Sen. McCain, would never stoop to–just to see Obama “crash & burn”…

ADDENDUM 3/19/08:

Kudos to Sen. Barack Obama for his courageous speech about race & reality…

Before I relate yet another irrationality that befell me, while a tutor for the student-athletes at Cal, let me impart an earlier one…When I shot up to 6’2″ by 10th grade, my track coach told me, son, you’re gonna play basketball… I’d never even touched a ball at that point (I’d played baseball and football but, in upstate NY, hoop wasn’t available–no weekend pickup games or even outdoor courts…Yet, at my High School, it was hot; our team always went to the state sectionals and we had a home court win streak of 42 games or something–3 seasons)…

So, just as I wrote in my short story, “My Little Town” (irony meant), I literally learned to play by nailing a hoop obtained by Sears & Roebuck mail order to the old battered carriage shed on our dysfunctional farm (old man fancied himself a country squire). A couple of doors inside laid down in the mud beneath the hoop were my “hardwood.” After being the last one let off on the team bus home from football practice, I’d go down to the carriage shed and practice my shooting…Even when ice was glazed on the ball and it wouldn’t bounce an inch in the cold…

I got pretty good pretty fast–by my junior year I was starting power forward. That year we had a Coach Hinell become an assistant–he was from Brooklyn, I believe, former college star somewhere. I learned a lot about the finer points of shooting from his advice…Anyway, through his connections, he brought a private prep school’s team in for a pre-season scrimmage. He warned us that these guys were good–the school was kind of shady and all the players were college prospects (if they could have turned pro in high school in those days, these guys would have jumped…). And they were mostly black. They were scrimmaging the big schools nearby (Binghamton & Ithaca) and I have no idea why Coach Hinell thought we could stick with them (we were Class C, not AAA, with 72 kids in my graduating class).

We got our butts kicked, but it was good fun. Afterwards, in the locker room, some of the guys started up with shit like buncha n-words beat us, don’t mean nuttin’ …As, noted by my blood bro The Ant some years later, in those days, Dang, Tom, you really are a whi liberal! , I told the guys that there was no cause for being bad sports and that i didn’t like the n-word–nor did I want to have to hear it in our locker room (kind of a sanctuary for me)…Disbelief, hoots and hollers…

Well, for the whole upcoming season, word had gotten around; every game a coupla opponents would take it upon themselves to call me n-word lover, etc., elbow me when the refs weren’t looking and go, Hungawa, chief! with that particular ferret-eyed cruelty hidden beneath the good ole boy exterior of the area…(Supposedly meaning “gotcha’ in Swahili, found out years later that they weren’t even pronouncing it right…)…

So maybe one can see the absurdity of the “identity politics” that the Clintons and Ferraro’s of the world figure is “the only path to success” (I think Ferraro really feels that, if she had not been a woman, she would not have had a career as a politician, i.e., she wouldn’t have been “useful” to some machine somewhere…) …After my first year as a tutor at the Athletic Study Center, I was told at the beginning of the next fall term that my “posisiton was being reserved for a woman of color, preferably a lesbian” by my tennis buddy/boss, Tansel Pope (black dude).l When I looked at him kind of incredulously and said, “Tansel, you can’t do that, it’s completely illegal,” he shrugged, not meeting my eyes, and said, “Yeah, I know, but I got my marching orders, if you get what I mean…”

When I filed a complaint alleging discrimination and started studying “the law” at Boalt, I, of course, was tarred and feathered as a “racist”…

ADDENDUM 3/21/08:

What’s most interesting–and ironic–about the latter allegation is it was spin-doctored by a group of fustilugs at Boalt–the very same ones who agent provacateur engineered the infamous “Boalt Hall hate mail” some dozen or so years ago on the days immediately prior to the decision-making about whether or not to add a “multi-cultural provost” to the staff at Boalt (given how they got caught red-handed, having printed the flyers up from their own student organization’s office–it could have been on “America’s Schtoopidist Criminals” reality show–the decision was to not)…Then this one, small, wiry, very intense woman of color, began her personal crusade against me–attempting to lay the blame for it on me, when “any & all” who worked or frequented there knew it to be complete nonsense…Still, like the time in the stacks at the Main Library I got taken down at gunpoint, handcuffed and told “you have no right to be on this campus” (my library card had expired and the security guy, wioth who I was chatting most every day before I’d research Celtic history in writing “Begorrah & Aghora,” my tale of King Arthur and Queen Gueneviere that is well-known–as mine own, especially–in places more sophisticated than this country–e.g., the pubs of Dublin…yeah, still, just like that painfully embarrassing endless stretch of minutes having to stand at the Circulation desk in full view of passing, somewhat shocked, students, it meant the death of not only my private tutoring but too a publishing deal that my friend Maxine Hong Kingston had been working on…(you may be beginning to get why these Lez-B.I.’s expend so much of taxpayer time and money disinformationing me–the rewards from Little Lloyd and the State Dept.’s “C.P.” (and their psychotic and insane “jealousy”) are far more than one can obtain the “sucker” way, i.e., one’s own legitimate hard work… )

Speakin of “C.P.” and his notorious coterie of young, impressionable boysies at the State Dep’t., well, it looks like a coupla these Hooverites got caught with their clever monkey paws in the cookie jar… (Though Sen. Obama’s passport file has got to be a long shot on getting “dirt” on someone, ole Huck Huck Hillary must be getting really desperate)…Word is that ole C.P. is slated to carry out Huck Huck’s internal “secret police” upon her hypothetical election as Prez (shades of Nixon Redux)…

More another day about how CP and his Three Stooges ruined by shot at a pro hoop career by deliberately ramming me, with an old heavy-duty station wagon, as I rode my motorcycle, maybe blissfully unaware in the August soothing heat in upstate NY–or tired from working two 8 hour a day summer jobs, being on my way to #2, running the “Enteck” multi-ton machine at an IBM circuit board factory…Doc laughed when I asked how long I’d be in a cast, as I had to be ready for my first varsity season (as a sophomore) at SUNY Buffalo–my coach was counting on me–said, “Son, given how badly your foot and ankle were crushed, you’ll be lucky if you ever walk again…”

Proved him, like all the other naysayers I’ve been made to endure, very wrong–especially the time I beat Michael Cooper and two of his teammates at UNM Albuquerque two outta three with a coupla pickups of leftovers from the sidelines…

Olympic ‘flame of shame’ protest condemned

Liu Qi, PRC propagandist…Of course no one will challenge China’s treatment of Tibet, for every Nancy Pelosi there are ten Gavin Newsom’s (ironically one of Huck-Huck Hillary’s Politics of Self-Aggrandizement protegees willing to steal from homeless outreach and MUNI moneys to fund his political future staff salaries)…

Watched a film on Geronimo at a friend’s; in the end 5,000 Army soldiers were deployed to take down 35 renegade Apaches…Instead of the return to their homelands and “40 acres and two mules” promised as a condition of surrender, they spent the rest of their lives in a Florida prison…(So what was the beef, again, about Barack’s spiritual friend?)

It’s just like I’ve said, on several occasions prior, that the beauty of the Clinton’s is that you don’t need to get upset at their outrageous chutzpah and megalomanaic “sense of entitlement”….just wait, patiently, as a Buddha and “the gaffe will appear in the palm of one’s hand…”

Her compulsive lying has reached a crescendo with the latest mish-take! in her bizarre misrepresentation of herself as having been “under fire”…(And the implication, too, that hubby Bubba must have been a big blubbering coward to send his wife and daughter out there first, i.e., allegedly “into the hailstorm of war…”)

With “Corporal Cueball,” as ole Jimmy-boy Carville calls himself, we see not just the “race card” being Okie-Doked off the bottom of the political tricks deck, but too the “religion card”…Hillary as Jesus? (God forbid!)…

Precedent here, too, and a very relevant comparison: the first Queen Elizabeth, having proclaimed the Irish “Satan the ape’s folly,” nonetheless had herself feted every spring as the “reincarnation of King Arthur,” i.e., the “true spiritual king.” (In those days, fudging a Celtic Warrior Righ, great and foreboding, into a wussy little boy prancing about in tights and then into a cold, cruel and calculating tyranness like Elizabeth was a “piece of cake”; i.e., no dissenting opinions or media to make light of one’s heresies…

And the Clintonista’s “reinvention” of themselves as “macho” is interesting as well; guys like me got pilloried by this Dynamic Duo’s fustilugs for years as being too “macho” (as well as a “right-wing scion,” i.e., somehow feeling myself “entitled” and thereby dangerous per se…)

Looking at how this country has developed a bizarre “caste” system, i.e., not only politicians but too sporting and entertainment figures usher their offspring right into Daddy’s limelight–any outside “competition” kept that way–one can only wonder how nobody has called the Clinton’s on how their ruthless Fustilug Gestapo–destroying the sons & daughters of “talent” or “competition for the Old Guard of Beltway Insiders–did far more damage to social mobility in this country than even previous practicioners–say, “Tricky Dick” Nixon, would have, in his wildest “phantasies,” imagined possible…

Okie, dokie, let’s get down to reality about small-town america..And for the record, that’s where I grew up (Hillary’s fustilug’s, in awful MacBeth chorus, drone:There’s no way it’s his life-story….”)

I think that Sen. Obama had a taste of now that’s what I be talkin bout in his recent visit to SF; merely trying to reassure some important Dem dig’s that, yeah, he’s for real, he got mudsucked by the same snitch-jacketin trash be talkin trash bout me…

Now, let’s get down to the issues, here’s an item from the “East Bay Express,’ about “hunting in da hood”:

Holey city

Oakland is full of bullets. Witness three days of OPD logs: At 4:30 a.m. on March 30 on Foothill Boulevard, someone was shot in the foot. At 4:23 p.m. on San Pablo Avenue, someone else was shot. Yet another was shot at 4:35 p.m. on 34th Street. At 4:55 p.m. on March 31, two people were shot on 23rd Avenue; “an unknown number of suspects fled northbound.” Less than an hour later on E. 10th Street, a man was shot in the abdomen. Less than half an hour later on 11th Avenue, a youth was shot in the thigh. At 10:42 p.m. that night, someone shot in the head on West Street died. At 12:30 p.m. on April 1 on San Pablo Avenue, a man was shot in the leg. At 11:30 p.m. that night, someone was shot in the buttocks on Bancroft Way. During that same period, seven armed robberies and a stabbing were also reported in Oakland.”

Damn, & I thought it was only bullets that killed folks…

Now I did grow up in the type of place that gold ole boy from Kentucky got so outraged about this “bitter” comment” from Sen. Obama calls his own (and I don’t want to go in to the Freudian implications of “finger on the button onb 3 AM, but I will say that the clown’s a fool, as any good President assembles a cabinet of good advisers–hence the scramble to get Condi on the McCain flat-tire express, and you count on that talent to get you through any showdown–Gary Cooper faced “High Noon” decades ago, you old buzzards)…

So, tomorrow, when I’m not so damn sick & tired of the “pepper spray’ used against brothers like Michael Franti (Stay Human) that make you a wee bit tired, I will give you plenty of details that should make any CNN reporter wondering, what the Hell it is I do around here justifying my salary?

I.e., ain’t you never heard of the campus shooting sweeping the nation in “SMALL FREAKIN TOWNS YOU RACIST FREAKING MOFO & DONNA WORRY I GOT MY MIDDLE FINGER ON YOUR WIFE”S FREAKIN TRIGGER

COMING SOON!!!

IT TAKES A FREAKING VILLAGE IDIOT!!! (I.E., SEIG HEIL HILLARY IN 08!...AN INDEPTH ANALYSIS OF THE CLINTON’S “CONSTIITUENCY,” E.G., WHY ARE THE DEMOCRATS SO CONCERNED ABOUT THE NOSTRILS TORCHED WITH FEAR SHEEPLE THAT AIN’T CAUGHT ON TO THE CLINTON’S OKIE-DOKIE WINK, WINK, IN YOUR FACE LYING AND POLITICAL MEGALOMANIA…(OR, HOW THE DEMOCRATS LOOK TO BE “DESTINED BY FATE” TO BE THE DUMMYKINS, YET AGAIN, UNLESS THEY WAKE THE FUCK UP…)

It Takes a Village Idiot

This AM, I had the opportunity to hear Rev. Wright speak–televised from the National Press Club. Though the pundits weighed in negatively on him, I thought he did a great job. Seldom have I heard such an insightful, informed, historically detailed lecture on the History of Spirituality…
Even during the Q & A’s, for which he was faulted as being “combative,” I thought he showed great tenacity, courage and perspicacity in his immediate responses. His quotes from Isaiah (e.g., “4 The Sovereign LORD has given me an instructed tongue,/
to know the word that sustains the weary./
He wakens me morning by morning,/
wakens my ear to listen like one being taught.”) were used to elucidate the concept of how, when one liberates the oppressed, the oppressor is thereby liberated as well…
And he hit the nail on the head in why this country has such “difficulty” in matters of thought & opinion: “different” in no way means “deficient”…
Now let’s take a look at Hillary’s “electoral base”:
Though I don’t have it handy, a NYT article in the past month or so had a flow chart detailing who would be the most likely, based on past numbers, to vote for the one candidate or the other…What should be looked at, instead of this claim that Sen. Obama is an “elitist” who’s “out of touch” with the mythical Common Man, is the frightening reality of who is most susceptible to the Clinton’s political “wargames” machine–based on scapegoating, hate & fear mongering, and, by it’s own peculiar logic, resultant and savage “bloodsporting.” Hillary to this day still loves to boast, in private, among her fawning minions, of the bizarrely evil humiliations the Clintons have managed to inflict upon many intelligent, successful and beautiful women…So, begging to differ with Pat Schroeder of Co., when I see her huck, huck, huck on the podium (usually right after she does the Neuro-Linguistic Programming trick of nod your head vigorously when seeking to brainwash someone with an essential lie) and, flashing that overbite, narrows her eyes in a look that can only be described as goofy, I don’t see any sort of a “lioness,” rather, a ratpacking jackal or hyena…(and, yeah Ms. Schroeder, though not an “elite” grad of Harvard law School, like you, I’ve nonetheless been “privileged” enough to bed more than one “lioness” in my time…Trust me, I know the difference…)

To cut to the chase, the flow chart posits outcome based on education and income. In every sociological category–including race–those most likely to vote for Hillary are the ones who’ve done the most poorly in our society…

Now before getting to why going back to the Pandering to the Village Idiot that became the hallmark of the Clintonistas would be the most serious mish-take this country could make this fall, I’ll offer a tempering opinion on the whole “electability” nonsense the Clinton’s, as in the “race” or “religion” card, keep dealing off the bottom of the deck:

“According to surveys of Pennsylvania voters leaving the polls on Tuesday, Mr. Obama would draw majorities of support from lower-income voters and less-educated ones — just as Mrs. Clinton would against Mr. McCain, even though those voters have favored her over Mr. Obama in the primaries.

And national polls suggest Mr. Obama would also do slightly better among groups that have gravitated to Republican in the past, like men, the more affluent and independents, while she would do slightly better among women.” (source, NYT, 3/24/08, Patrick Healy)

Now, just as Buddha advised, the course of action that will win for the Democrats in this upcoming national election is to steer a pragmatic path between the poles of “Hope” & “Fear”…Hope, especially, is an illusory matter that tends to get one in trouble more that it helps; its intentions are good, but when one “hopes” for something, the process inevitably crystallizes a certain outcome as the only one that will do…So, if the goal is, say, only three-quarters accomplished, disappointment too often follows…

Just as my Political Economy mentor at Cal, Dr. Michael Reich, once did–in doing his Ivy league PhD. dissertation on the hows, not whys, of racism not being a “rational” economic choice. I.e., it costs money; its inherently inefficient–less-talented or qualified people are plugged into positions that others could make better or more productive use of…

So when it comes to Iraq, the Democrats have to say, Look, we believe you, Sen. McCain, in that you think its a “noble” conflict…The problem is that we just can’t afford it…
There’s a song I hear, on KFOG, by a gravel-voiced blues singer who raps misfortune and then says, “We just can’t make it here, anymore…” Can’t find the info, but it gives you the idea
Now, when it comes to Hillary and Bubba, well we just can’t afford your policies anymore… Aside from their economic opportunism of a most shady nature–just two quick examples: 1) remember when Hillary, pre-Clinton election, gambled a $1,000 in the Chicago commodities market and made $100,000 of it? The odds against an outsider of Saul Bellow “Seize the Day” protagonist pulling that off are astronomical; the options markets are completely controlled by the big, computer-generated arbitrage houses–the motto is whipsaw the market in one direction until you’ve bled the last nickel from the last little old lady and then do the same in the other damn direction!. Only someone with illegal “inside” info would be able to pull off such a stunt…2) Hubby Bubba and his new “plutocratic” pals, as a new book, “Cinton-in-Exile,” by Carol Felsenthal (reviewed by Janet Maslin in today’s NYT) describes the cronies that have put $100-plus million in the Clinton’s pockets of late. Ms. Felsenthal even alleges that Clinton is so pathological that he routinely cheats at gold with his new buddies…Most of these monies come from the same monolithic and necrophiliac “PR” industry that the NYT recently reported on as having lined the pockets of plenty of military people turned “pundits” and, along the way, lying through their teeth to justify the war in Iraq…

And just as “average Joe” needs to say, sorry Replutocrats, we just can’t afford a “fourth branch” of government, i.e., Dick “Call Me Darth Vader” Cheney (by the way, most likely the place where Bubba will repose if Hillary gets her shaky hands on the reins of power , he or she gotta say the same thing to the Dummykins: we can’t afford any more Cultural Gestapos that the Clintons had their CIA Director John Deutch spawn–dictating matters of thought & opinion, and deploying the good ole boy Gestapo tactics of Nacht und Nebel (according to Wikipedia, “(German for “Night and Fog”) was a directive (German: Erlass) of Adolf Hitler on December 7, 1941 signed and implemented by Chief of Staff of the Armed Forces Wilhelm Keitel, resulting in kidnapping and disappearance of many political activists throughout Nazi Germany’s occupied territories…Most of the early prisoners were of two sorts: they were either prisoners of belief/political prisoners whom the Nazis deemed in need of “re-education” to Nazi thinking, or resistance leaders in occupied western Europe.”).
Here we come to yet another “trademark” of the Clintons. When presented with systematic abuses, usually under “color of law,” the most difficult to correct because of how someone with the power to do so simply covers up the matter, the Clinton’s–going all the way back to Bubba’s stint as Arkansas Attorney General (see, e.g., Hutto v. Finney, for an example of how willing Clinton was to make “crueal and unusual punishments” in prisons official, i.e., “necessary,” policies)–secretly enhanceand enlarge upon them as part of their own arsenal…

Thus you have, right before the Clinton presidency, matters like the most comprehensive reform of the intelligence community ever proposed–done through the dedication and sheer perseverance of former CIA Director Robert Michael Gates. Of course Bush the Elder, for the main part, ignored him as a lame duck who couldn’t be bothered. But then the Clintons had a chance to put these reforms into effect–and chose, instead, to systematically study these abuses and have Deutsch implement them as part of their Cultural Gestapo. (And I should not have to remind anyone that Hitler was first termed a “Nazi,” slang for “country bumpkin” by those nefariously “elite” Jews of Vienna, whose dismissal of Hitler as such turned tragic pretty quickly with Kristallnacht( see Wikipedia for reference)
Too, I think the average American citizen has enough of the “maverick” in him or her to resent anyone telling them “what you must do” in matters like education, job choice/career opportunity, and, most importantly, one’s Rights to Associate…

And given Hillary’s policy wank bent (these detail guys are dime a dozen, the real challenge for a lleader, as the history of my Celtic Warrior Righs shows, is someone capable of “vision,” whether it’s termed “prophetic” or not is of no matter, the gist is “someone who has a clue as to what to do”), as exemplified by her health care proposals (and they were hers, just as NAFTA was the cornerstone policy achievement of hubby Bubba), well, average Joe’s gotta say, Sorry, just can’t afford anymore Big Nurse Ratched’s of the Medical-Industrial Complex Combine…Already been suckered by one group of professional thieves, the mortgage industry, don’t need the same from the insurance industry, Thank You Very Much…

There you have the basics: we just can’t afford anymore of the Clinton’s Dictatorship of the Village Idiot (for reference as to how horrifyingly real these matters have been in our recent history, why check out say, US v. the Original Knights of the Ku Klux Klan, (about 1965, southern district court of Louisiana, or PEOPLE OF STATE OF NEW YORK EX REL. BRYANT v. ZIMMERMAN, 278 U.S. 63 (1928): [excerpt]: ” The courts below recognized the principle shown in the cases just cited and reached the conclusion that the classification was justified by a difference between the two classes of associations shown by experience, and that the difference consisted (a) in a manifest tendency on the part of one class to make the secrecy surrounding its purposes and membership a cloak for acts and conduct inimical to personal rights and public welfare, and (b) in the absence of such a tendency on the part of the other class. In pointing out this difference one of the courts (123 Misc. Rep. 859, 206 N. Y. S. 533) said of the Ku Klux Klan, the principal association in the included class:

‘It is a matter of common knowledge that this organization functions largely at night, its members disguised by hoods and gowns and doing things calculated to strike terror into the minds of the people,’”

Nuff said for now…

ADDENDUM: MOTHER’S DAY POSTING:

Now it is apparent to all–even UCPD’s Adam Tejada, his narco-whacko buddy Hosie Canseco and all the rest of the village idiots that time is up: you lose, capiche, fronzios…

I should not have to remind you that ole Hosie Canseco was excommunicated by the good Pope John Paul the Second for his crimes and misdemeanors as part of a DEA “Task Force” who raped Sister Ortiz in Latin America…His buddy, the FBI’s “Little Llyod” Freeh faced the same exact fate.So, as they used to say in the olde days, look likes karma come hunting back in town…

to the Right Honorable Senator Obama, the next President of the United States, I offer the “Fire Book” of the “Book of Five Rings,” as it will toughen the fire in his belly ( phrase courtesy of Sam Hamill, I believe)…”The Three Mehods to Forestall the Enemy, “… pp. 96-83

ADDENDUM, MOTHER’S DAY POSTING…

The thing about the Clinton’s is just his: they’re a pair of carpetbagging cockbreaths who have poisoned their “consituency” with worse and more vile racism than the Replutocrats would even consider…

You have Bubba, an admitted felon, stripped of his law license, setting the “sxtandard” for other politicians…Look at the Detroit Mayor, who (albeit unsuccessfully) used the “Bubba defense” in his wrongdoing (remember, Bubba used ole TJ, an Arkansas State Trooper to stand guard for him on his rape date outings). Baseball took a clue from him, too, CEO’s lying and cheating “by any means necessary” led to the steroid scandal (in SF, we’ve got a village idiot female cyclist who, having wrecked her body with enough steroids to cause her to shave like a man every day, accused a jury of “destroying” her law career because she’s a liar under oath like Bubba!!!)

Hillary is about Us & Them,” a good Machiavellian ploy to get you elected–out of pandering to fear–but usel;ess in building the coalition needed to change this country. She and hubby Bubba are either ignorant or indifferent (or even incompetent) when it comes to foreign policy; I have experience in the Middle East matter and I can tell you that if Bubbha had listened to the intelligence–readily available–about Bin laden during his Presidency, he would have sent in the “special op’s,” not young men and women as cannon fodder, but highly trained pro’s–as the ones who took down Saddam Hussein…We would be 4,000 plus stronger if Bubb-ha had had a clue as to what to do…So don’t tell me about “3 A.M.,” more on that Spike Lee meaning later…

Coming Soon, the “best sword is the sword left sheathed” analysis of why the Republicans are dead wrong about the notion of “security”

[but for now, excerpts from a May 18, 2008, email to a friend...]:

I think that I was just in the sort of space where, with the promise of Sen. Obama’s candicacy, I was seeing a “real” change that may finally happen in the cultural landscape of this country…To me the Clinton’s were as much a nightmare as the Bushes–you had Bush the Elder, as “the Sorcerer’s Apprentice,” when VP under Reagan begin what Eve Pell aptly termed “The Big Chill,” in which journalists or artists whose “thoughts or beliefs” were not considered “useful,” shall we say, by the Beltway Insiders were cold-shouldered to the point of irrelevance, if and often deemed necessary…Years later, working on “Love’s Untaught Strain,” to me an extremely masterful “love epic” poem, I did quite a bit of research into the legal foundations for what became the 1886 Berne Convention–granting creative artists formal copyrights for the first time…

Under Napoleon III, one faced an absolute nightmare if you managed to piss the little tyrant off. Under the guise of “being taught a lesson for the Crown’s Authority,” one could have any or all creative work misappropriated and given to one of the court puppet-stooges, who would then preen about as an “artiste”…

This practice was documented by that Convention in shocking detail. One musician, happenstancing by a swank nightspot and hearing his exact musical composition being played (without his permission of course), went in, sat down and ordered a soda water. When brought, with the bill, he said, but Monuieur, your band is playing my composition, what about my recompense? (along with a great number of other artists who were seeking the same, the effort was futile if not “foolish,” the Court’s propaganda minions would poison the artist’s professional circle with such nonsense as “there’s no way it’s his composition, why the poor man is mad!”)

The waiter brought the maitre’d, who said, but sir, you’re getting to hear your composition, why surely that’s pay enough!

v
So our beleagured artist produced a handful of coins from his pocket and jingled them from one hand to the other. Did you hear that? he asked. Of course they replied. Well consider yourself paid!

Getting him nothing but a gendarme escorted toss to the curb…

I put his note in after my poem:

–Historical note: This epic is based upon the life-story of Joseph Ernest Renan, whom the author believes was assasinated (for “refusing to learn his lesson of respect for the Crown’s authority”) in the 1871 riots and strife in Paris, France, and replaced with a “popinjay” of a puppet controlled by Napoleon III, a “short, fat, ugly-pugged and pasty-faced” minion in no way resembling the real Renan, a tall, broad-shouldered “dark Celt” from Brittany pictured in photos from the Paris Commune’s Central Committee, albeit with an nom de plume…

–”‘Honour’ and ‘reputation’ are more objective concepts, being analogous to the kind of personal interests which are protected by actions for defamation…Nonetheless, there are still problems in determining what is the scope of the expression ‘honour and reputation.’ This was raised by several delegates at the Brussels Conference [Revisions to the Berne Conference for the Protection of Literary and Artistic Works, 1886]…The consensus among delegates was that the wider meaning was inteneded, and that, while this did not need clarification in the text of article 6, it should be referred to in the report of the rapporteur general. This was done by Marcel Plaisant in the following passage in his report:

‘The author will have the right to take proceedings against any action prejudicial to his honour and reputation and in generally emerged from the debate that the author should be protected as a writer just as much as in his capacity as a personality on the literary scene. This is why you have added that he may object to any other action, implying by this action likely to be prejudicial to the man, as a result of the distortion of his work.’”

–Sam Ricketson, Center for Commercial Law Studies, Queen Mary College, The Berne Convention for the Protection of Literary and Artistic Works, 1886-1986 (Eastern Press, London, 1987).

–”[T]here are three periods at which the world dies; the period of a plague, of a general war, and the dissolution of verbal contracts [, the most serious type of the latter being ] the suspension of amity between a king and the country.”

Senchus Mor(Ancient Laws of Ireland)(5 cols.)(Alexander Thorn, Dublin, 1865).

In any event, the Clinton’s, as was their habit in building their political steamroller, simply took these methods when they got their hands on the “reins of power” and set about remoulding it along the lines of “identity politics,” wherein your “dirty tricks” service to a particular “group ego” as Adorno termed the matter, similarly “entitled” one to somebody else’s goodies…

So I’ve been thinking back on all the opportunities that I “missed out” on–and, to me, the rejection part isn’t anything that bothers me, it’s part of the normal turf, what gets me is the Machievellian rigged game-playing–even back to when I was doing an investigative piece for “Mother Jone’s” magazine…I don’t know if you read or saw “A Civil Action,” but I became similarly obsessed (1980-81, I believe). I dropped my other editor freelance contacts from Manhattan and, with the help of grants from The Fund for Investigative Journalism, spent several months on a real kind of Harper’s style “think piece” for MJ editor Adam Hochschild, who loved the approach and drafts. Kind of a passing of a way of life–small town Pennsylvanians (Scranton Wilkes Barre) who never even locked their doors at night suddenly invaded by toxic waste dumpers–millions of gallons of real nasty stuff, waste oil cyanide-laced, e.g., dumped at night down abandoned coal mine shafts…Which then flooded the matter into the Susquehanna River, drinking water for 40% of the state and others on the way to Chesapeake Bay…

Found other fascinating material as well–a 1980 Pa. Crime Commission report on Organized Crime which detailed the origins of the Cosa Nostra to that area. 1880′s I believe, Sicilian coalminers who’d not been paid by the bosses–who told them, that as they were recent immigrants, that the company didn’t have to do nuttin for yas, in typical “It Takes a Village Idiot” fashion–burned not only the mining operation but too the execs house to the ground after pledging allegiance to Catholic saints in forming a secret society…

(Not only were they paid, finally, but the company was now so scared of them that they hired them to rebui8ld everything at very good wages…)

Lot more to the story–the gist of it though is it was not due to the Genevese-Tieri boss living in Kingston, Pa., “Big Russ” Bufalino, but–as my very respected Teamsters’ source told me, “some new guys who no way got the clout to be doing this shit.” Big Russ was one of the last of the “gentleman dons,” in the tradition of Vito Genevese, whose rules were no drug-dealing or prostitution (etc., if a member was beating his wife, why, the boys would beat him…). He, a trucking/cargo theft specialist (no violence, all insurance write-offs), got very upset at guys like Jimmy Hoffa of the Teamsters ignoring his ban on toxic waste trafficking and, according to the story I heard, had Hoffa killed, cut into parts and put in three toxic waste drums sent to the heads of the Buffalo, Cleveland and Detroit families…

Another source I had, Asst. Att. Gen. John Fine of NY, agreed that it wasn’t the regular O.G.’s; these guys were small time garbage haulers and truckdrivers (often immigrants getting only about $50 for dumping a 6,000 gallon tanker)…Yet they had an elaborate coverup network, according to Fine, who testified before a grand jury that high-level execs from Shell, Exxon, Mobil, etc., were getting kickbacks to keep quiet about the wastes being stockpiled in a parking lot in Elizabeth NJ instead of incinerated in a “state of the art” facility, as their RCRA manifests claimed (hard to believe that the EPA never bothered to check on it).

When I found out that two of Chemical Control Corporation’s biggest clients were the FBI & DEA–who were paying them to incinerate drug evidence–and, too, that allegedly the drugs were being tainted with cyanide an dothers toxic chemicals and put back on the streets for their snitches to sell (several deaths in the matter made the NYT as a story), I asked my sources, including Fine, what’s up? The speculation was that these waste dumpers werre being managed by the fed’s, who were using this new line of business to establish “furthering my coverup indentity” as “wise guys.” They allegedly even had political cover from honchos like NY Gov. Mario Cuomo…

Well, as movies like Wiseguys and other events–in particular the Gambino family, who became so rampant with informants that the joke was, for your inititation into the family, you didn’t whack a guy but instead wore a wire for the FBI–in the years since have shown, pretty damn accurate speculation…

Fine, by the way, received death threats for his vigilance (as did his elderly mother) and was harassed into retiring. Last time I spoke with him he was moving to Hawaii to write a book about scuba diving (no publishing contract yet of course)…

Confessed murderers like Sammy the Bull Gravano were put up in luxury in Arizona as “witnesses,” not only allowed to operate freely again but too his kids put in business, allegedly for the DEA as “undercovers,” selling ecstasy to the college town crowd…

Out here we have Hosie Canseco, the steroid abuser who’d tell Tony LaRussa that a shot of his juice was more productive than the hours in the weight room that his teammates like Mark McGuire rigorously put in…As a DEA “locker room snitch,” his reward–besides having the “date rape” rolphie incidents he and his lowlife entourage indluged in covered up by their handlers–was to have somebody else’s hard, investigative work on the whole steroid controversy allegedly stolen (most likely from a guy perceived, like me as a “hothead who had it coming”) and given to the lunkhead’s ghost writer so ole Hosie could be a “best-selling author”…

So these types of cultural insanity are what really upsets me–and the promise that it will end under a President Obama is what got some long-lost emotion s freed up, I believe…

ADDENDUM, MAY 22ND, 2008

It’s funny about remembering these matters; what I found most ironic was that the so-called “progressives” in the media world turned out to be the most hide-bound ripoffs…Jeff Klein, at MJ, took over my toxic-waste dumping ring story (14 NE states, a biggie), and wanted to do an entire issue on toxic waste dumping throughout the country…Word was, through the grapevine–NYC’s Media Alliance and my former college sweetheart, Amy Linn, an intern at MJ when we were at Cal–that my story was so good that he just had to get his hands on it…I was thinking book deal, he was offering a “sidebar” for $200 and, of course, the right to pillage my entire story line…I said No, of course, and encountered immediate resistance anywhere else I tried to pitch it…The next year, studying under Gardner at SUNY Binghamton, I sent out my short story “Some Kind of Grace” to Tom Jenks at Esquire and got a most unusual reply…(Gardner had been showing my stories to his buddies Joyce Carol Oates and Ray Carver, then at Syracuse, and said that I was ready). Jenks sent me a handwritten rejection, saying that he like the story a great deal but that “we’ve been publishing a lot of stories involving a pro basketball player and a jazz musician…” Which of course, they hadn’t–not a single one…

Media Alliance meetings were horror stories about the irresponsibility of “leftist” rags; I was also working on a piece for Victor Navasky’s “The Nation.” My editor there wanted a policy wank piece on RCRA, the 2,000 plus pages of legislation boaasting to “track toxic wastes from cradle to grave”…I had a great source at the EPA, Hugh Kaufman, who told me that it was “deliberately” flawed to the point where skirting the regulations was child’s play…My editor, Amy Wilentz, wanted a short piece touted how it was what was finally needed to deal with the issue…After about three rewrites, with a completely different angle–suggested by navasky each time–that didn’t even remotely fit the material, I got disgusted and pulled it (pay, when published, was $50, Navasky berated me, saying that I should be on my knees thanking him for the mere privilege of being in his publication…)

Meanwhile, at the “conservative” Ziff-Davis publications, I was working with a great editor for the inflight mags (US Air, in particular). He loved a piece that I did about the maverick winemaker Walter Taylor, who got fired from his grandfather’s company, Taylor Wines, when coca-Cola bought it, for complaining about the “adulteration” of the wines…(NY allowed 50% of the wine to be water, and only required 25% to be the actual varietal, the rest could be generic red or white…Of course large quantites of sugar were added to bring the alcohol content up, as well as other additives…). He was a real renaissance man character, hand-painted his wine labels for his new company “Bully Hill Vineyards” (Coca-Coal had sued him over signing his name on the label as a guarantee of quality, claiming trademark infraction, so he becamwe “Walter S. [black smudge mark), hitchhiked around the country with bottles in his backpack and did his own grass-roots publicity...Upstaters like a maverick, and the suit backfired, he quadrupled his sales in one year...

At Ziff-Davis, not only were the editors polite and respectful, but they'd call down several floors to Accounting and have your check waiting for you before you left the building...

That story indeed turned out to be big--Mr. Fine told me that the federal prosecutors had a "curious" lack of interest in the dumping ring...I checked on my own and found to be true; the honchos those days were (then unknown) Rudy Guiliani and Louis J. Freeh...As many co-workers have since recounted, they were only interested in self-aggrandizement and made a big deal about taking down the "O.G" Mafia bosses--which left a huge vacuum filled by lunkheads like Gotti "Junior" and the FBI's "wise-guys," who, besides the waste dumping, got the Mob into the strip clubs big-time...Freeh went on to become the head of the FBI and the Clinton's Cultural Gestapo; his relative, "little Lloyd," committed so many vile and despicable acts, under color of law, that Pope John Paul II excommunicated him (even though he, of course, was never prosecuted)...And yes, I have a wee bit of personal animosity in the whole sordid affair...

So, on the eve of the last primaries, what we have here is somebody completely out of touch with reality...And yeah, I be talking Huck-huck-Herself...Now, looking more and more completely psychotic in her public appearances (those pantsuits making her look like a '50's clown, ala Bozess) still, knowing full well that by any evidence and procedure of law, that the screenplay "City of Nights" was stolen from me by the FBI huckster Spike Lee (he even had to bring in Robert Towne to write "malcom X" because the snitch has stolen every property he's ever "produced" (kind of an insider "white boy" joke, if you dig what I mean)...She still refuses to "conced to the actual facts, ma'am"...

And to beg for a VP slot after the sheer brutality of the Clinton machine?!

Talk about karmic hubris, babe!!!
Sen. Obama would have a winning ticket if he chose a women of principle, say Kansas Gov. Kathleen Sebelius, as his VP, a person of integrity who does not have the evil Fustilug Gestapo baggage of the Clinton's... I think any woman with a clue would see "the difference"...

Okay, today (Friday the 13th, 2008) we have more of the incredible hubris of the Clintonistas...First of all, Jimmy "Cracked Up" Carville, Pa. good ole boy, has been suckin off the media spins on the Dem primary with his usual "Arkansas black snake' sleaziness...The boy had the audacity to say, about Clinton's chance for the nomination, as to say, "Well, sometimes 2 + 2= 5"...And now he's bullying like an overweight bubba on the playground in fifth grade (destined to go no higher and, in Ark-ee-saw, most likely marry his sister) and saying that Sen. Obama better take either Huck Huck Hillary or Why Ayll Be Gored on the ticket as VP. Both would be a huge mishtake, as we all know by now:

[from AP, Nedra Pickler, 6/13/08]:

“WASHINGTON–Democratic candidate b arack Obama’s campaing said Thursday that Michelle Obama never used the word ‘whitey’ ub a speech from the church’s pulpit, as it set up a Web site to debunk rumors about him and his wife…”

And the other problem is, of course, that Sen. McCain is no “village idiot” (18 million of them may have voted for Hillary but, as the saying goes, you can’t fool all the people all the time…) and you can be sure as the Apocalypse Heil Hillary is attempting to loose (i.e., she ain’t looking to crack the glass ceiling , she be pounding on the floors of Hell with such ferocity that sooner or latter her “Master” will appear, I mean, I watched an epsode of the History Channel about Hitler’s methamphetamine drug addiction problems and I saw her mannerisms in frightening parallelism):

“Some say that Hillary Clinton’s defeat was the victory of sexism–but Obama faced at least much racism. No this resounding defeat goes beyond pernicious isms and beyond one candidate–it is a fist-pounding rejection of a corrupt ideology…

“More important, they [Jim Webb, Claire McCaskill, Sherrod Brown, Amy Klobuchar, Brian Schweitzer] are people who can help Obama draw an outsider -versus-insider, populist-versus-corporatist constrasst that reinforces the m ost powerful message of all: The era of Clintonism is over.”

(David Siroat, “SF Chron, ” 6/13/08, B11)

Truly ironic to me is, after over a decade of ruthless pilloring of me as a “right-wing scion,” Heil Hillory is exposed as yet another poseur delusionally believing that she was somehow “entitled” to be President as a matter of “privilege.” As Jackie Gleason used to say, How sweet it is…

9/9/08:

Well, I will have to admit to being impressed with Hillary Clinton of late; she’s clearly gone through a spiritual transformation of sorts and is looking good…

As for Barack, what he needs to do–because of the Sarah Palin loop-tee-doo–is focus on presenting himself as a person who will guarantee “an honest day’s wages for an honest job.” Old phrase, believe it comes from the 1860′s Paris Commune…

Too, he should listen to everything that Johnny Cash and June Carter ever sang…Never a more poignant story–Johnny turns out to be the legacy of a Scottish righ, or “king,” (a term much abused these days, if you “read the news today, oh boy”) who came from nowhere and took the nation by storm…

If I could be so humble, maybe, too, read my short story, “Wayon & Willie & the boys…”
And make sure that you show, not tell, people in rural areas that you “understand the difference between hill-billy & hill-smart”; phrase comes from an old friend of mine–he grew up poor, in upstate NY, his father a big Hank Williams fan, and they’d sit on the back porch, summer nights, and enjoy the sounds of his voice…

My friend, Roger Bacorn, was a very gifted musician who, nonetheless, was stuck behind the “chicken wire” playing canned C & W at places like the Ramada…

His father had taught him woodworking, however, so one day he started making his own guitars–out of “tiger’s eye maple,” I believe it was, with Fender Stratocaster pickups…

Then he started making mandolins–and was so good at it that people like David Grisman (“Hot Dawg”) began buying them from him…(www.bacornguitars.com)

Then, I believe, I don’t think people will be fooled by the McCain-Palin “same old, same old”…

To be fair, I’m presenting another area on which Mr. Obama needs to focus: self-proclaim’d “pastors,” llike this Oakland Tribune columnist, Byron Williams, talking about the spate of restaurant robberies:

“We are living in a state, as my former editor, Tom Tuttle, calls “moral agnosticism,” where one becomes so linear focused on their nefarious desires until they have no regard for the external consequences.

These are individuals who have reached the conclusion of Shakespeare’s Macbeth that life “is a tale told by an idiot full of sound and fury signifying nothing.” Or as Bob Dylan prophetically opined, “when you got nothing, you got nothing to lose.”"

Now, I don’t have to remind you of who the perps who’ve been arrested in this matterare–the point is, I doubt they’ve ever even heard of Shakespeare or Dylan, let alone ever listened…

Hard-core rap lyrics, like “beat da bitch like a ‘ho” & “I’m gonna rat-tat-tat you with my Mac-9…” more likely fueled these punks…

Why one would try and blame Shakespeare or Dylan is beyond me. It belongs to the peculiar school of “Afro-centrism,” where history is reinvented for convenience (Hitler did the same thing; telling his “folk” that “you are of my blood and soil” so your ass be mine, pal…)

Mr. Obama will get beyond this dinosaur of “identity politics.” That must be the promise he holds out to Everyman…

To return to Mr. Williams–and I’m a “Rev.” as well, ordained as a teenager as a Lay Minister of the Word by my Presbyterian church, as well as being formally recognized as a reincarnate Tibetan high Rinpoche–Shakespeare was referring to people like the Oakland “Mayor” Ronald “Call me MacDonald the clown” Dellums…

Measure for Measure
Act 2, Scene 2

ISABELLA Could great men thunder
As Jove himself does, Jove would ne’er be quiet,
For every pelting, petty officer
Would use his heaven for thunder;
Nothing but thunder! Merciful Heaven,
Thou rather with thy sharp and sulphurous bolt
Split’st the unwedgeable and gnarled oak
Than the soft myrtle: but man, proud man,
Drest in a little brief authority,
Most ignorant of what he’s most assured,
His glassy essence, like an angry ape,
Plays such fantastic tricks before high heaven
As make the angels weep; who, with our spleens,
Would all themselves laugh mortal.

In other words, fools who mistake their “brief authority” for greatness…Not perps out for a greedy good time…

And the same with the willful misunderstanding of Dylan–he’s talking about a moment in time when the Buddha’s awareness settles on you and you have no attachment…No desire…Absolutely no connection with putting a gat upside somebody’s head to get their meager earnings from a hard day’s work…

The sadness is that, if a white writer had written poorly of “black folk” and “rap,” he/she/it would have been roundly taken to task…But “these days,” instead of Aristolean logic, i.e., “A then B then C,” some get away with irresponsible attempts at “philosophy” or “rhetoric,” which, whether you like it or not, was gifted to us by the Greeks…Their substitute is what I’ve termed “A then F then X,” i.e., something that, no matter how you spin it, “simply does not compute…
