PROLOGUE (O.S.)

NARRATOR: If they could just sit him down -- you know, talk to him in glib, nebulous, polysyllabic terms -- they just knew he could be convinced.

BOOLE: After all, he watches his phone. THE ORB: And, reads your every conjured word. Too many bombs. Too much linking of so-called social networks. That equals unbridled libel, slander and spying. BOOLE: Commercials synchronized to ensure captivity. Commercial volumes increased without consent to near deafening levels. Commercials, after tasered teasers, after propaganda, after commercials, after more propaganda, after more commercials.

THE ORB: Television networks that repeat the same propaganda every hour in a different format.

NARRATOR: ESPN ex-machina.

BOOLE: It didn’t work for Euripides or Menander.

NARRATOR: Yes, the citizen-body, the folk, many feeling froggy. Most have no hope. For he and others like him: Old ways good, new ways bad. BOOLE: So, no matter what you say, no matter how many times, no matter the size of “ The Big Lie ” -- no matter the physical intimidation, microchip character assassination, double-speak, or legal interpretation -- he, and many people like him, just can’t be changed.

2.

NARRATOR: The medium is the now the message in this global nonsense. Modern relics will rise in response. The likes of Keynes, Zinn, and Alinsky breed these minions of this Luddite principle. A national canard that is nothing more than the Luddite fallacy wrapped in the cloak of hysterical mass hypnotism, and oligarchic control.

THE ORB: People lose all hope because of you, Boole. They become slaves to subsidize commercial centralism. Worse, you -- and they - - tell everyone exactly what they want to hear, or only what they want others to hear. Not what they absolutely need to know.

(THE CURTAIN RISES.)

INT. SCHOOLHOUSE - DAY

(He enters stage left.)

NARRATOR: A Crazy Milkman walked into an old, wooden, Amish schoolhouse in Bart Township in Lancaster, County, PA on 2-10 at 10:25 a.m. He was armed to the teeth and took the teacher and young students prisoner. Almost immediately, the Crazy Milkman released the teacher and many of the students, most of whom were young Amish males; leaving him with ten innocent Amish girls, ages 7-13, as hostages.

THE ORB: Who was he ?

BOOLE SU= (2-10) AND KW= (gunman): He was soon identified, as are such things, as a lone gunman, a lone nut.

EXT. SCHOOLHOUSE - DAY

BOOLE: Outside, in the community that was hearing of the crisis, a neighboring adult, Amish, male, with his two dogs, had stealthily crept to the lone window in hopes of helping the 10 young girls from his vantage point.

From there it was later reported that he could see the Crazy

3.

Milkman and the 10 young girls; however, the Amish male had to vacate his strategic forward position in order to flag down the police car that appeared to be casually driving by. Almost as if not believing the 9-1-1 call.

NARRATOR: Per there latest “please don’t offend those people” memo, the police began slowly setting up their cordon and hostage negotiating site outside, while inside the building, the Crazy Milkman -- apparently, and like most madmen -- hadn’t read that memo.

BACK TO: INT. SCHOOLHOUSE - DAY

CRAZY MILKMAN (speaking calmly to the frightened little girls): All of you, shut-up, and stand against the blackboard.

BOOLE: Over the next 30 minutes the brutally insane Crazy Milkman bound all 10 girls as he prepared to sexually assault, then execute them. Two of the girls, sisters much more worthy of the Presidential Medal of Freedom than Maya Angelou and Toni Morrison, asked to be shot first in order to bide time for the others so they could be rescued by the brave police.

CRAZY MILKMAN (screaming madly to himself): Shut up !

EXT. SCHOOLHOUSE - DAY

BOOLE: Still outside, the police, having only arrived en masse at 10:42 a.m., and then after slowly setting up a perimeter, never attempted a stealth advance on the building again despite the fact that the Amish male could have taken a sniper to the window on the hidden side of the building.

NARRATOR: The police decided instead to negotiate, to take their good time, to find out the Crazy Milkman’s mens rea. You know, to appease the madman, they wanted to know his motive.

HE: Guess they were afraid of the shakedown sharp tones of the political charlatans. Right out of the “we won’t offend you people” Mass Hypnotist manual. Maybe, just maybe, all he needed was more hugs, SNAP and a government job.

4.

INT. SCHOOLHOUSE - DAY

BOOLE: Despite all this -- and even as the Crazy Milkman finalized his insane, nefarious plan and put a shotgun to the back of the head of the youngest girl -- the police did nothing.

EXT. SCHOOLHOUSE - DAY

BOOLE: Still outside, the police, after much talking amongst themselves about how to talk to the Crazy Milkman, were finally ready to negotiate. They were sure it would work. This was a criminal case, after all.

INT. SCHOOLHOUSE - DAY

BOOLE: Only he wasn’t ready to negotiate and pressed the cold blue- steel of the shotgun barrel firmly into the innocent, scared, crying little girl’s skull.

CRAZY MILKMAN (coldly, with hollow, not hallowed eyes): I’ll start with you.

EXT. SCHOOLHOUSE - DAY

BOOLE: Once again, and now even upon hearing one of the children’s loud screaming at around 11 a.m, the still ready for passive negotiating officers weren’t allowed to even approach the building where the Amish male had been earlier and had clearly seen the lone gunman and the young girls. Again, in a position where any good shooter, let alone a skilled sniper, could easily have killed the Crazy Milkman and saved the lives of the ten innocent.

HE: You mean the police still didn’t do anything ?

BOOLE: They hesitated, another by-product of the Mass Hypnotist manual.

THE ORB: So, the point is ?

BOOLE (ignoring the Orb): One hopes he will see that his limited

5. window of opportunity to attack, and Anabasis of a seemingly suicidal escape, won’t work unless carefully planned.

HARD CUT TO:

INT. SCHOOLHOUSE - DAY

Bang !! you’re dead.

BOOLE: At 11:07 a.m. on 2-10 at a schoolhouse in Bart Township in Lancaster County, PA, the Crazy Milkman began shooting the 10 bound girls 17-18 times in the head at close range with a 12 gauge shotgun and a 9mm handgun.

EXT. SCHOOLHOUSE - DAY

BOOLE: Still outside, and only after the firing began did the officers immediately approach the window; and upon arriving the shooting suddenly stopped.

HE: The Mass Hypnotist manual. They still just sat there.

BOOLE: Even from the entrance, it took them almost three minutes to break in. When finally entering the building they found that the Crazy Milkman had used the last round heard to kill himself.

THE ORB: Lord Jesus, no.

HE: Jesus had nothing to do with this, the Mass Hypnotist did.

INT. SCHOOLHOUSE - DAY

BOOLE: According to police and coroner reports there was not a desk or chair in the whole classroom that was not splattered in blood, covered in glass, or both.

Even though they had done nothing prior to the massacre, the police officers -- much like the FBI at the Ruby Ridge and Waco massacres -- were given medals for heroism.

HE: Gosh, maybe the Mass Hypnotist can reward them too.

6.

EXT. SCHOOLHOUSE - DAY

BOOLE: Of the 10 shooting victims, three died on scene and two the next day. Miraculously, of the remaining five, one is in a semicomatose state after begin taken off life support and is now fed by a tube, and four others have returned to school in spite of such serious trauma.

HE (having an epiphany): One would bet that even today, the Mass Hypnotists want her feeding tubes removed.

BOOLE: And as if that weren’t tragedy enough -- even before the peaceful Amish could bury their beloved lost -- the Mass Hypnotist , and their always lurking lackey, bottom-feeding, remora, one-and-all, came out to exploit and prostitute yet another tragedy for their nefarious, social engineering agenda.

HE: So it is true, they are all evil, all talking the same words.

BOOLE (rhetorically in an uplifting, crescendo voice): Correct ! And what points do they make ? They talk only the points their media masters tell them to. And only what they want you to believe. Now, finally, he sees why this must be done, and to whom and what he must do.

THE ORB (shouts out over Boole): No ! And don’t use them as an excuse. He is not a parasite. This will not serve us, or the innocent, well.

THE ORB (calms down and turns to Boole just this once for help): But why did the Crazy Milkman do this terrible thing ?

BOOLE: Isn’t that obvious ?

7.

THE ORB: Yes, of course, insanity is what it is, but as the method actors would say, what was the Crazy Milkman’s motivation ? Not to mention the poison pill called rhetoric. What say ye, oh mighty, all knowing, Boole ?

BOOLE: The Crazy Milkman was angry at God.

THE ORB: Or, controlled by the harbinger of light masked as enlightenment ?

HE: Neither, it was the Mass Hypnotist .

BOOLE: Ones in the same. History teaches us what they now want.

HE: Those, those recalcitrant, recidivist, revisionist controllers. Wizards one and all.

BOOLE: The same Mass Hypnotist may have motivated, if not created, the insanity of ISIS and Boko Haram. Was it only Nationality that motivated when innocence is slaughtered by the supposed righteous in Beslan, in the Japanese rapes of Nanking, and Manila ?

THE ORB: So, that is your Bomber spin ?

BOOLE: No. With only my help, he would not make the same mistake with this new Mass Hypnotist . He, unlike all the others, will escape and become legend, myth and lore. A real star of stage and screen.

THE ORB: Now that is insanity.

BOOLE: Again, insanity can be defined as anger against God. Or, repeating the same thing while getting the same effect.

HE: Why be angry at that you do not know ?

THE ORB: So how can he ever be successful in this all-knowing age ?

BOOLE: He will prove he is not insane, not social, not angry at God, and thus will not make that same mistake as the others.

WRITTEN ON SCREEN: “My mind is my safest place, so I spend a lot of time there” – The Nerdy Cosmetologist

NARRATOR: This fistory is like most of the six billion, or so, other bildungsromans told daily by those who instead of seizing the day, meander on. Mostly angry, many hopeless, and all without knowledge of it.

THE ORB: And unless I stop you from doing this, it will not have a happy ending.

BOOLE: So now you know the how, and the why. But the who ? He can

DISSOLVE TO:

WRITTEN ON SCREEN: “The blue-green majesty that is the Intracoastal, back-country waterway yearns the eyes.”

BOOLE: Plato discusses five types of regimes. They are Aristocracy, Timocracy, Oligarchy, Democracy and Tyranny. Plato also assigns a man to each of these regimes to illustrate what they stand for. The tyrannical man would represent Tyranny for example. These five regimes progressively degenerate starting with Aristocracy at the top and Tyranny at the bottom. Let’s skip the first three and stick to where we are: a degenerate democracy becoming tyranny.

According to Plato:

An oligarchy then degenerates into a democracy where freedom is the supreme good but freedom is also slavery. In a democracy, the lower class grows bigger and bigger. The poor become the winners. Diversity is supreme. People are free to do what they want and live how they want. People can even break the law if they so chose. This appears to be very similar to anarchy.

Plato uses the "democratic man" to represent democracy. The democratic man is the son of the oligarchic man. Unlike his father, the democratic man is consumed with unnecessary desires. Plato describes necessary desires as desires that we have out of instinct or desires that we have in order to survive. Unnecessary desires are desires we can teach ourselves to resist such as the desire for riches. The democratic man takes great interest in all the things he can buy with his money. He does whatever he wants whenever he wants to do it. His life has no order or priority.

Democracy then degenerates into tyranny where no one has discipline and society exists in chaos. Democracy is taken over by the longing for freedom. Power must be seized to maintain order. A champion will come along and experience power, which will cause him to become a tyrant. The people will start to hate him and eventually try to remove him but will realize they are not able.

10.

The tyrannical man is the son of the democratic man. He is the worst form of man. He is consumed by lawless desires which cause him to do many terrible things such as murdering someone unjustly. He comes closest to complete lawlessness. The idea of moderation does not exist to him. He is consumed by the pleasures in life.

Say, how were those 400 rounds of golf, scores of $20,000,000 vacations, weekly private million-dollar WH parties, dinners, as well as extravagance in those crony-related, and illegal, wasteful trips abroad treating you, ye Mass Hypnotist ?

HARD CUT TO:

EXT. INTRACOASTAL WATERWAY - DAY

NARRATOR: The day was typically maddening. Harsh rain, then dark and gray. Just another gloomy, rainy southwest Florida day punctuated by a thunderstorm from Hell with a mosaic of lightning ribbons striking everywhere.

A large, beaten, formerly white-looking, cooler -- now resembling a used casket -- barely floats atop the rough, yet shallow water.

On top of the large Styrofoam casket, a soaking-wet man lies motionless. He is loosely bound from head to toe by sundry lines and cords. Oddly, there was a small set of alligator clips, separated by a chain with pyramid fish weights on them, attached to his shirt and skin on both of his front shirt pockets.

The cooler is being wave-beaten as it floats just within sight of a white mangrove island in the Intracoastal waterway near the Caloosahatchee river.

Lighting crashes just to his left.

He comes to, grabbing his chest where the two alligator clips are biting him on, or about, the nipples, all the while looking about in the heavy rain while gagging on sea and rainwater.

HE (internal monologue): It was as if thick, wet, cloth sheets were hitting me, slapping me like just-washed linen hanging to dry on a gusty autumn day.

11.

NARRATOR: The dusk is soon illuminated by the lightning, and a hue of light surrounds him. Just as quickly, a small wake nearly knocks he and the casket over as he grabs the sides to hang on.

HE (continues his internal monologue): Just coming out of my haze and can barely see through the painful raindrops and this burning on my chest. Am I having a heart attack ? [Looking about.] What am I doing with these bungee cords on my feet ? Am I floating on top of a large, beer-laden cooler in the middle of a torrential thunderstorm ? Why are ropes [Interrupted by a loud, distant voice.].

QUEEG: Lines !

HE: Lines, sorry, around me ?

NARRATOR: In the distance, shrouded by lightning and rain; a new, less darkly-hindered voice is barely heard as a bright orange presence splits the menacing clouds into ribbons.

BOOLE (interrupting): Go away, your kind is not needed here.

HE (talking to himself): Can't think, is that you ? Or, Boole ? Oh, no, it’s you again. [Looks to the left and front of the casket.] What the heck ? Is that a harpoon in the side of the cooler and an arrow stuck near my head in front of it ?

NARRATOR: Glancing at the two alligator clips, he notices both ends were not hanging on his Worldwide Sportsman shirt pockets, but on, well, on his... oy vey !

HE (trying to tear the nipple clamps off their painful points): Oh, hell no !

QUEEG (a distance voice, yelling in a hippie pirate’s raspy tone): Don’t you be losing them nipple clips, they are me wife’s !

HE (to himself): That would explain the chest pain.

NARRATOR: He starts retching while madly trying to free himself from his small metal bonds crushing his nipples; when all of a

12. sudden, the presence floats down, reaches him, and begins hovering over his head -- like many times before.

It was times like these that to extricate himself from this current dilemma to a more calmer circumstance, he would consider transposing his soul through a space-time continuum with Guy Fawkes’s on the rack in the Tower of London; however, this time, it came out and calmed him instantly.

What a joy he always felt when being bathed in that orange glow as the presence fetched him lovingly out-of-body.

BOOLE: The presence always floats over him like a butterfly blowing in from a distant land and event. It was tying to save him from contact with me.

NARRATOR: The presence was often like ribbons of stars; like a plasmic sky of a transparent anatomy of veins and arteries. So, though he was mired in self-deception, and lack of free will, try as he did, he could not deny the attraction.

BOOLE: Later, it was at just such a time, and in just such a state, that he knew what he must do.

THE UBIQUITOUS ORB: Look up.

NARRATOR: A hand reaches down from the sky.

BOOLE SU= (fern): A fern is any one of a group of about 20,000 species of plants classified in the phylum or division Pteridophyta, also known as Filicophyta. The group is also referred to as Polypodiophyta, or Polypodiopsida when treated as a subdivision of tracheophyta (vascular plants).

The term "pteridophyte" has traditionally been used to describe all seedless vascular plants, making it synonymous with "ferns and

13. fern allies". This can be confusing since members of the fern phylum Pteridophyta are also sometimes referred to as pteridophytes. The study of ferns and other pteridophytes is called pteridology, and one who studies ferns and other pteridophytes is called a pteridologist.

00000110101111011100001001000101

BOOLE SU= (chaos) AND KW= (self-similarity): According to me, or what people let you read of me, most people who keep up with advances in science have probably heard of the term self- similarity because it is a key ingredient of fractals.

HE: A self-what ?

BOOLE: It is a topic often in scientific news reports during the past two decades. But if you asked for a definition of self- similarity, or some good examples, many of those same people would find it difficult to provide them. This is unfortunate because self-similarity appears to be one of Nature’s most favored design principles.

HE (yawns): Oh, this is good, very good, go on.

THE ORB: Beware. Boole only speaks to you the way they want Boole to, and only if you operate him with the right questions so as not to get bombed.

BOOLE: As I was saying, given the ubiquity of this phenomenon in each major realm of Nature, it is perhaps excusable to anthropomorphize a bit and say that Nature truly adores self- similarity. In fact, were it not for this elegant design strategy, we would be dire straits for at least five reasons.

HE: Huh ?

THE ORB: See what I mean ?

BOOLE: Our bodies would perform poorly and decay with inadequate circulation if self-similarity did not exist. If our brains and nervous systems could not benefit from self-similar networking, our IQs would be roughly on a par with fence posts. Without the

14. self-similar villi and microvilli in our intestines, our ability to digest food would be compromised.

Moreover, there would be little food to eat in the first place because, in the absence of self-similarity, the Earth would be virtually devoid of vegetation, which directly or indirectly provides most of our food sources.

Lastly, we would be unable to breathe without the critical self- similar architecture inside our lungs.

Self-similarity is so widespread and important in Nature, the arts, and society, that one can no longer be considered well- informed without at least a conceptual understanding of this remarkable phenomenon. Luckily, the main ideas of self-similarity are not difficult to master and good examples of self-similarity are exceedingly easy to find. When you are done with this article provided, you will understand the basics of self-similar phenomena and be able to identify them virtually everywhere you look.

In preparation, we need to spend just a few minutes laying the foundation for that knowledge.

HE: Like a baby in the womb from inception to birth. They breathe, they eat. They are self-similar in all sizes and shapes so they must be, yes, they have to be.

THE ORB: Yes.

BOOLE: A good place to begin our exploration is with this first archetypal example of self-similarity:

Think of a lone, lonely, leafless tree standing dark against a gray winter sky. It has branching patterns that are quite familiar to us. There is a single trunk that rises to a region where major branches split off. If we follow any one of these major branches, we see that they also split into smaller branches, which split into even smaller branches, and so on.

A “unit pattern” (in this case one length splitting into two or more thinner branches) is repeated on ever-smaller size scales until we reach the treetop.

15.

With this picture in mind, we can state a simple generic definition: the fundamental principle of a self-similar structure is the repetition of a unit pattern on different size scales. Note when you begin to view this that even the delicate veins of leaves also have self-similar branching patterns, as do virtually all root systems.

A tree is thus the epitome of self-similarity.

THE ORB: So is a baby in the womb.

HE: This is boring.

THE ORB: You are missing the point.

HE: A tree ? Who is he: Joyce Kilmer, or Shel Silverstein on acid ? The points made in his talking are as bad as a Mass Hypnotist .

THE ORB: Then quit quoting him like a sampling rapper. Permanently turn him; and all those like him, off.

BOOLE: That is not so easy today.

10101101111110101001101001011001

HE: Hey, check this out. I looked up a word. [Reading aloud.] CITATION: 1: an official summons to appear (as before a court) 2: a: an act of quoting b: EXCERPT, QUOTE 3: MENTION....

THE ORB: Shouldn’t Boole use citations in such reports to you, to all of us ?

HE: Why ? Mass Hypnotists don’t. [Emphasis with rising voice.] Besides, Boole is the citation du jour dude.

BOOLE: So avoid the LexisNexis, the Operators, the Bombers, and the Squealers and Piglets that manipulate them.

THE ORB: How ? You are only an abstract version of the truth. Oh, no, don’t avoid, recognize.

16.

BOOLE: Right on, right on, right on. [Reading aloud.] ABSTRACT- adjective: 1: thought of apart from concrete realities, specific objects, or actual instances: an abstract idea 2: expressing a quality or characteristic apart from any specific object or instance, as justice, poverty, and speed 3: theoretical; not applied or practical: abstract science 4: difficult to understand; abstruse: abstract speculations 5: Fine Arts. a. of or pertaining to the formal aspect of art, emphasizing lines, colors, generalized or geometrical forms, etc., esp. with reference to their relationship to one another.

Or, how maybe as a noun: 1: a summary of a text, scientific article, document, speech, etc.; epitome 2: something that concentrates in itself the essential qualities of anything more extensive or more general, or of several things; essence or, 3: an idea or term considered apart from some material basis or object.

Wait, if only a verb: 1: to draw or take away; remove 2: to divert or draw away the attention of 3: to consider as a general quality or characteristic apart from specific objects or instances: to abstract the notions of time, space, and matter, or, maybe and most importantly 4: to steal.

THE ORB: The only thing Boole is missing is a mass of teleprompters, cue cards, 60” plasma screens, a good writer, populist pabulum and a podium.

HE: We’ll just call all these “borrowed literary abstracts and citations.”

THE ORB: Better yet, have Boole call citations “literary samplings.”

BOOLE: Besides, in the age of Mass Hypnotism, it is not a big deal.

THE ORB: You were right, there is horrific historical bias against them. And others it seems.

HE: What ? They have no telethon, oh, the inhumanity.

BOOLE SU= (sniper): Well, this should interest you then, A sniper is an infantry soldier who specializes in shooting from a concealed position over longer ranges than regular infantry, often with a specially designed or adapted sniper rifle. It requires skill in marksmanship, camouflage and field craft.

18.

The term sniper is attested from 1824 in the sense of “sharpshooter”.

HE: A synonym for a good sniper is also the answer: ‘the Great Correction ’.

BOOLE: The verb “to snipe” originated in the 1770s among soldiers in British India-in the sense of: “to shoot from a hidden place”, in allusion to snipe hunting, a game bird known for being extremely difficult to hunt. Those who were skilled at the hunting of this bird were thus dubbed "snipers".

Knowing current events as he did, he could deduce that since the Shah was deposed some years ago, Mossad exposed, and the Taliban was being attacked, that it wasn't the SAVAK or al-Qaida. Could be ISIS, the bastards come here in religious guise.

BOOLE SU= (assassination) KW= (lincoln): The Assassination of Abraham Lincoln, one of the last major events in the American Civil War, took place on Good Friday, April 14, 1865, when President Abraham Lincoln was shot while attending a performance of Our American Cousin at Ford's Theatre with his wife and two guests. Lincoln died the following day, April 15, 1865, in the home of William Petersen.

22.

Lincoln's assassin, actor, and Confederate sympathizer John Wilkes Booth, had also ordered a fellow conspirator, Lewis Powell, to kill William H. Seward (then Secretary of State). Booth hoped to create chaos and overthrow the Federal government by assassinating Lincoln, Seward, and then Vice President Andrew Johnson.

Although Booth succeeded in killing Lincoln, the larger plot failed. Seward was attacked but recovered from his wounds, and Johnson's would-be assassin, George Atzerodt, fled Washington, D.C. upon losing his nerve.

THE ORB (yelling): Motherfu... !

NARRATOR: Looking beyond the bearded Arab he saw 11 other turbaned, bearded, Arabs males, each in a black leather jacket with a gang symbol of a crescent sword, and the club name of IMAMs

LARGE, BEARDED ARAB (screams): Allah Akbar !

BOOLE SU= (islam) KW= (decapitation): Perhaps the most controversial aspect of the Islamic religion, as practices and as set forth in the Koran, is the attitude toward infidels and unbelievers. In various passages, the faithful are exhorted to take up arms and to exterminate their enemies, e.g., “When the months wherein ye are not allowed to attack then shall be passed, kill the idolaters wheresoever ye shall find them, and take them prisoners, and besiege them, and lay wait for the in every convenient place.” And, “When ye encounter the unbelievers, strike off their heads, until ye have made a great slaughter among them, and bind them in bonds.”

BOOLE SU= (redfish): Sciaenops ocellatus: The Red Drum, or redfish as it is also called, is a beauty worthy of description; adorned with a chin without barbel; copper-bronze to lighter body depending on its adaptation to the cleaner water; and almost always at least one or more spots at the base of its tail.

The spots are the signature one looks for. A Red Drum has at least one black, dime-sized, spot near its tail, sometimes numerous. The world record for spots on any one redfish is 605. It is also easy to fillet and clean as the meat is thick, and its scales are

24. large. The meat is very tender and tasty as the Red Drum subsists mainly on crustaceans, fish, and mollusks.

As they feed, Red Drums go to an acute, almost vertical angle, in order to root in the silt and mud for mollusks and crabs. This causes the glorious site of their tail sticking out of the water in almost full view as it swishes and whooshes back and forth.

Thus, their nickname: Tailers.

BOOLE SU= (end-of-the-universe): How disheartening. Living in a universe that began with a Big Bang, and when reaching and exceeding the mass critical density of the known universe, it will become hotter and hotter until it collapses in The Big Crunch.

Or, conversely, if it fails to exceed this critical density, the expansion of the universe would slow down, but never stop, and star formations would cease and the average temperature would now reverse and approach absolute zero in what is known as The Big Freeze.

Yet another party-favor theory of Mass Hypnotist scientists, -- who seem to only want government grants then be left alone -- is a that Black Holes will evaporate, and the entropy of the universe would increase to the point where no organized form of energy could be extracted from it. Only gravitationally bound systems, such as galaxies, would remain together, and they too would be subject to heat death, as the universe cools and expands.

Still, another favorite, fun, water cooler conversation suggests -- yet another unproven theory called the phantom theory -- is that ultimately galaxy clusters, stars, planets, atoms, nuclei and matter itself will be torn apart by the ever-increasing expansion in a so-called The Big Rip.

25.

THE ORB: Must not be too much money in espousing most of those.

HE: Why get up if not to do something of meaning ?

BOOLE: Christians will always have the Rapture and Armageddon, but those wacky Moslem have the Koranic Day of Judgement when the earth will shake violently and deliver up its dead, the mountains will be reduced to dust; the moon will be rent in twain. And as always, with both, the Paradise of Heaven awaits the faithful good and a fiery Hell will torture the evil.

HE: So that is their presumed fate.

BOOLE: Predestination runs as a theme through the Koran. The Moslem is naturally fatalistic. A firm believer, as is the Talmud, in Kismet, or fate; everything that happens -- bad, good, or indifferent -- is the will of their god Allah.

Both books also exercise controlled hate. Taking the word goyim from the Talmud and the word infidel from the Koran and transposing them gives you same results: oppression.

HE: But I was taught that the central feature of Islam, accordingly, is complete submission to one’s will to the supreme being.

BOOLE SU= (albinism): Melanin deficiency has been connected for some time with various genetic abnormalities such as albinism and disease states.

There are approximately ten different types of albinism, and certain ethnicities have higher incidences of different forms.

For example, the most common type of melanin deficiency is called oculocutaneous albinism type 2 (OCA2), and it is especially frequent among people of true African descent.

26.

Albinism is a recessive gene/disorder characterized by a congenital reduction or absence of melanin pigment in the skin, hair and eyes. The estimated frequency of OCA2 among African- Americans is 1 in 10,000, which contrasts with a frequency of 1 in 36,000 in white Americans.

In some African nations, however, the frequency of the disorder is even higher, ranging from 1 in 2,000 to 1 in 5,000.

Another form of Albinism, the "yellow oculocutaneous albinism", appears to be more prevalent among the Amish, who are of primarily of Swiss and German ancestry. The Amish with this variant of the disorder commonly have white hair and skin at birth, but rapidly develop normal skin pigmentation in infancy.

Generally, such skirmishers were selected on the basis of prior proven hunting and marksmanship skills. Often these were either young soldiers with promising maneuverability and field craft or older men with refined marksmanship and tactical skills.

The term 'sniper' was not in widespread use in the United States until after the American Civil War.

NARRATOR: In 1995, in Berkeley, California. There once was an unsold writer and former doctoral student. He had written a couple of original screen stories, one adapted screen story, one treatment, and a stage play. The adapted screenplay merely collecting dust as no rights to the novel had been purchased.

Most of the genres were drama and thrillers. At that time the original work was being pitched by his former literary agent in LA and being judged at the Nicholl Foundation Fellowship for unsold writers.

He's switched agencies six times since and currently is now represented by his soon-to-be future, former, literary agent in NYC, but that is another story.

Of course, everything was rejected. That's the secret of LaLa Land. If you can't take the fact that you will be able to wallpaper the Taj Mahal with your rejection letters then don't even think about screen stories or stage plays, but that is another story.

One day in 1996, while searching for a hook for his next project, something that would grab 'em in the first 10 pages, he read "Plausible Denial" by Mark Lane. It occurred to him that as much as he admired the book (not the author) he didn't want to write another "dust collector" or repeat all the old plot-lines written before. He needed plot points and pinches that would keep that

28. plot-line rolling along from introduction to conflict to resolution.

What troubled him was that from Hunt, Lorenz, Sturgis, Harrelson, Castro, Liddy et al, he'd already seen and read in all the scenes and confrontations that will live on in movie and literary history.

Then he read, and read, and read. All the favorites: Lane, Groden and Livingston, Garrison, Maars, etc., and he watched every boring video he could get hold of. Even suffering through Stone's "JFK" and the equally boring, knee jerking, six-set "The Men Who Killed Kennedy" and so forth.

But one day in the future, near dusk, he was on a Greyhound bus from LA to Florida, reading an old copy of Atlantic Monthly. Without warning, he looked up and realized the bus was headed under the Stemmons overpass just down the road from to the Dallas Greyhound station, and right passed Dealey Plaza.

Dumbfounded, he stopped reading just for a second to gather his thoughts and suddenly it came to him that the Atlantic Monthly article he was reading may be the key to this so-called conspiracy.

Now that about made him ready for his daily lithium/lactose enema when it came to him how to approach a "fictional" account of those events in Dallas generations ago. Still, he wanted to take pictures of the site for himself and get some measurements if time allowed.

After debarking the LA bus he waited patiently on arrival to change-over to the Florida bus. As it was dusk and some daylight still remained, he asked the standard black guard, a typical bus station rent-a-cop, if he had time to go to the Plaza before the Florida bus arrived and departed.

BLACK RENT-A-COP: You don’t want to goes there. Gangs come out at night and you’ll get hurt, real bad.

BOOLE SU= (history of communism):

Communism's Crimes Against Humanity

In October 1917, the Bolshevik Revolution gave birth to the deadliest ideology in human history - Communism. In less than 100 years, Communism has claimed more than 200 million innocent lives.

Even, today, it continues to enslave one-fifth of the world's people.

Thanks to the efforts of The Victims of Communist Memorial Foundation and its supporters the United States, Communism's greatest challenger and a symbol of freedom to the world, now has a memorial to commemorate these victims.

Dedicated on June 12, 2007 by President George W. Bush, The Victims of Communism Memorial stands two blocks from the U.S. Capitol building. It stands as an enduring reminder of the murderous legacy of totalitarianism.

A free people cannot afford to forget the evils of Communism. We cannot allow the atrocities of Lenin, Trotsky, Kacagnovich,

31.

Stalin, Mao, The Gang of Four, Kim(s), Tito, Allende, Pol Pot and the Khmer Rough, post WWII Greek communists, Ho Chi Minh, Chavez, the Shining Path, and Castro and Che, et al, to fade into the background of revisionist Hollywood history. We must not forget the trail of blood and tears this utopian deception has left behind:

When the Bolsheviks murdered their way into power.

When Lenin destroyed hundreds of thousands of Cossacks.

When the Kremlin starved more than six million in Ukraine.

When Mao murdered tens of millions of Chinese peasants during his “The Cultural Revolution” and "Great Leap Forward".

When Ho Chi Minh sent 850,000 Vietnamese to their graves in "education camps".

When Castro buried thousands of dissenters in the infamous Isle of Pines.

When the student voices of freedom were silenced at Tiananmen Square.

It is a great moral failing that so many do not know the extent of Communism's atrocities.

While the horrors of Nazism are well known, who knows that the Soviet Union murdered over 20 million of its own people ?

Who knows that China's dictators have slaughtered as many as 60- 100 million ?

Who knows that the Communist holocaust has exacted a death toll surpassing that of all of the wars of the 20th century combined ?

Just as we must grasp Communism's brutality, we must understand the true cause of the fall of the Soviet Union.

The West's triumph over the "evil empire" was no accident of history. It was the result of a calculated strategy by a grand alliance of political, military, religious, business and labor

32. leaders.

These leaders deserve credit for the victory over Communism many thought impossible.

The specter of Communism still haunts the world. In Russia, one- third of the people believe that Stalin "did more good than bad for the country".

In China, thousands of dissidents are still imprisoned in the slave labor camps known as the Laogai.

In North Korea, masses starve as the leadership builds nuclear weapons.

In Cuba, dissidents are routinely imprisoned for peacefully petitioning for democratic reform.

Communism remains today, as it has since its bloody beginning in 1917, the road to serfdom.

HE: April Fool’s Day.

NARRATOR: Just another asocial, random, finite human sitting calmer than a vegan’s cow in his outdoor chair on an extraordinarily tranquil, clear, moonlit, starry-starry Gainesville night while being helped along by smoking a badly rolled "fatty" the size of a Churchill cigar.

The Orb always floated over him like a silent butterfly on nights like this. A night when ribbons of stars made a plasmic sky into a transparent, self-similar, anatomy of veins and arteries.

He sees the plasma tapestry form again in the Gainesville night, like that time on Queeg’s casket-cooler on the Intracoastal waterway, or the time he danced with sequence dresses at Bobby Milk’s club night, even his venture on one of Coyote Peters’s animal annoyance night tours came to mind.

It was beautiful.

33.

As it was his yearly day of mourning, based on social transgression, he gets up -- but this time more stoned than Peter Tosh, and Bob Marley and drunker than Rita Wayworth and Ava Gardner -- and walks around as if he were in a cloud of soft silk ribbons.

His only connection to terra firma was the bottle of home-made jug wine grasped firmly in hand. This secret place of respite was not just a home but a testament to shade seeking, sweet floral fragrances, eating and just how someone destitute would decant.

The only thing missing was straining Sterno through bread.

The backyard was surrounded by 8-10-foot tall multi-stemmed elderberry trees; the ground covered in Japanese silk grass, bordered by muscadine grapes; hanging plants from orchids to chads; and a central ground encompassed by tall live oaks, one expansive mahogany, one bad-ass melaleuca tree in sneezy bloom, and a youthful, 20-foot tall flowering dogwood.

Surrounding them all were ferns. Ferns of all possible varieties, but growing together in such a way that upon closer examination one could not see the differences within each group.

HE: Or anyone within them.

NARRATOR: How easily he found their look so similar. How easily he found comfort in their company.

Hidden within this forest were mockingbirds whose mimic meows drove the feral cat to near insanity; Baltimore Orioles, Blackbirds, as well as assorted finches -- blown in from the Galapagos Islands by various hurricanes, not evolution -- sparrows, woodpeckers, and singing cardinals.

Food crops were abundant. And all encased in terra-cotta pots to avoid nematodes and the subsequent defoliating of the backyard. His early girl and cherry tomatoes were properly caged, ripe and rich, as were his green pepper plants, pole bean strings, scallions, cabbage, strawberries, various hot peppers, collards, swiss chard, and herb boxes ranging from chives and parsley to basil and oregano.

34.

As wild animals went there was only one -- save for Hemingway, the blond, polydactyl, hedonistic feral -- and his name was Manson, the obsessive-compulsive, flying, gray squirrel who leapt from tree to tree driving off every other living creature who dared enter his eminence zone that apparently was wider than a rugby field.

Later, Manson briefly brought a mate and he figured after four years that, judging by Manson’s mate’s underbelly, that Manson was actually a female. So naturally, he renamed her Squeaky.

Soon Squeaky brought the whole Spahn Ranch gang, Charlie included, and harassed him constantly for peanuts. So much so he had to “just say no.”

But alas, with any paradise comes a semiparasite: the invasive mistletoe, or Mass Hypnotist plant as it is known. Mired in tradition, but hated in the landscape, it was called dung, for to the Anglo-Saxons it resembled bird-droppings.

Apparently, for every kiss, like life, a drip dropping is removed. But then, Santa Claus was once a symbol of Satanic sacrifice. But that was in Germany, go figure.

Still stoned, he began munching a Nestle’s crunch bar while looking at the stars with his brain and ears.

As he strolled in a sodden, silent but crunchy, vigil, the crunching noises started to increase in volume even after he stopped munching out. Getting to a pitch so high that caused him to spill his vino as he reached up to hold his ears.

The crunching sound now was so severe that the threshold shift ringing his ears felt like the screams of the 140,000,000 helpless, defenseless victims. He fell to his knees.

BOOLE: As mentioned before, in physical cosmology, the Big Crunch is the hypothesis that the universe will collapse upon itself after its expansion eventually stops. This is a natural

35. counterpart to the Big Bang Theory. This hypothesis also is the subject of much-heated discussion, like Global Warming.

If the gravitational attraction of all the matter within the observable horizon were high enough, the expansion of the universe would slow, and then reverse eventually. The universe would then contract, with about the same duration as the expansion.

Eventually, all matter and energy would be compressed back into a gravitational singularity.

However, recent experimental evidence (namely the observation of distant supernovae as standard candles, and the well-resolved mapping of the cosmic microwave background) has -- to considerable surprise -- shown that the expansion of the universe is not being slowed down by gravity, but instead, accelerating, suggesting that the universe will not end with a Big Crunch, but will instead expand forever.

Although some scientists have contested this theory, most cosmologists have considered the evidence of an accelerating universe to be conclusive since 2002.

In the framework of the field equations of the General Theory of Relativity, the simplest model of an accelerating expansion corresponds to a positive value of the cosmological constant, which can be attributed to the quantum vacuum itself exerting a force that repels gravitationally on large scales.

More generally, the accelerating expansion is attributed to dark energy, which could be the cosmological constant, or a dynamical field with negative "pressure", leading to an effective cosmological constant that could be time-varying.

In such cases, it is theoretically possible that the cosmological "constant" need not remain positive, leaving open the possibility of a Big Crunch as the ultimate fate of the universe.

A Big Crunch is also still theoretically possible if Einstein's theory of general relativity were found not to apply on large scales. The current evidence neither favors nor rules out dark energy, or modifications of general relativity, of a form that could halt or reverse an eternal expansion; it does however, set

36. lower bounds on the duration collapse.

HE: The citation said it will be approximately 42 billion years from now or more than 24 billion years at the 95% confidence level.

BOOLE KW= (carcano): In many ways the 6.5x52 Carcano was designed for what is now called an intermediate cartridge. The Italians, having realized most combat occurred at ranges of less than 300 meters, had late Carcano rifles appear with fixed iron sights set to a 300 meter battle zero.

This meant it appeared underpowered compared to other military cartridges and rifles of the time. As there was also an Allied tendency to denigrate anything Italian the 6.5x52 round has since been overlooked -- despite its similarities to the more praised Swedish 6.5x55, the Japanese 6.5x50 Arisaka, and the later German 7.92x33 Kurz round which is often identified as the first intermediate round as it appeared in the first assault rifle.

The original 6.5mm X 52mm Carcano design used a gain twist barrel with deep rifling to reduce wear, extend barrel life and give consistent accuracy.

Gain twist has a slow initial twist in the barrel progressively getting faster until the full twist rate is attained at the muzzle, resulting in less torque being imparted to the bullet during the highest loading phase of the interior ballistic cycle and less barrel wear in the throat of the chamber.

HE: What about performance ?

BOOLE: The 6.5x52 Carcano is an effective and easy-to-shoot deer cartridge out to 200 yards; with, of course, properly-bulleted ammunition. Its main drawback in military use was that the standard Italian service round had a round-nosed bullet and was highly stable (did not usually tumble unless it hit bone), giving many narrow-channel straight-through wounds.

37.

A 6.5mmx52mm Carcano cartridge can be loaded with a modern hunting bullet.

The cartridge, and weapon, achieved a bit of notoriety as having been the choice of Lee Harvey Oswald, who allegedly used a World War II Italian Carcano rifle (in this chambering) to assassinate President John F. Kennedy.

THE ORB: Because you can find that ribbon that fits you, not that cluster crunch that will destroy you. [To Boole.] No, please, not again.

BOOLE: Theories about the end of universe abound. Most state that fate of the universe is determined by the density of the universe. The preponderance of evidence to date, based on measurements of the rate of expansion and the mass density, favors a universe that will not collapse. Examples include:

The Big Freeze is a scenario under which continued expansion results in a universe that is too cold to sustain life. It could occur under a flat or hyperbolic geometry because such geometries are a necessary condition for a universe that expands forever.

THE ORB: Here it comes. Another cause-du-jour.

BOOLE: A related scenario is Heat Death, which states that the universe goes to a state of maximum entropy in which everything is evenly distributed, and there are no gradients —- which are needed to sustain information processing, one form of which is life. The Heat Death scenario is compatible with any of the three spatial models but requires that the universe reach an eventual temperature minimum.

HE: Global Warming, a turd that cannot be polished.

BOOLE: In the special case of phantom dark energy, which has even

38. more negative pressure than a simple cosmological constant, the density of dark energy increases with time, causing the rate of acceleration to increase, leading to a steady increase in the Hubble constant.

As a result, all material objects in the universe, starting with galaxies and eventually (in a finite time) all life forms, no matter how small, will disintegrate into unbound elementary particles and radiation, ripped apart by the phantom energy force and shooting apart from each other.

The end state of the universe is a singularity, as the dark energy density and expansion rate becomes infinite.

HE: God, what tenured, depressed, egocentric blow-hole thought of that ?

THE ORB: Careful, he is the president of his University's truth squad.

HE: Should have eaten another Nutter Butter peanut butter sandwich cookie instead. [To the Orb.] What do you get when you cross a fully grown rhino with a large jar of Skippy’s Peanut Butter ?

THE ORB: Smooth or crunchy ?

HE: A 3,000-pound animal that sticks to the roof of your mouth.

BOOLE: The Big Crunch theory is a symmetric view of the ultimate fate of the universe. Just as the Big Bang started a cosmological expansion, this theory postulates that the average density of the universe is enough to stop its expansion and begin contracting.

The end result is unknown; a simple extrapolation would have all the matter and space-time in the universe collapse into a dimensionless singularity.

This scenario allows the Big Bang to have been immediately preceded by the Big Crunch of a preceding universe. If this occurs repeatedly, we have an oscillatory universe. The universe could then consist of an infinite sequence of finite universes, each finite universe ending with a Big Crunch that is also the Big Bang

39. of the next universe.

Theoretically, the oscillating universe could not be reconciled with the second law of thermodynamics: entropy would build up from oscillation to oscillation and cause heat death.

HE: God, I need some khat about now.

BOOLE: Other measurements suggested the universe is not closed.

HE: Weeeee, what is that, the hot air on The View, Oprah or The Talk ?

BOOLE: The Multiverse, or parallel universe in the singular case, scenario states that while our universe may be of finite duration, it is but one universe among many.

Moreover, if there are other universes with different physical laws, some multiverses may exist indefinitely.

If the vacuum is not in its lowest energy state (a false vacuum), it could collapse into a lower energy state. This is called the Vacuum metastability event. This would fundamentally alter our universe; the various physical constants could have different values, severely affecting the foundations of matter.

Each possibility described so far is based on very simple form for the dark energy equation of state. But as the name is meant to imply, we know almost nothing of the real physics of the dark energy. If the theory of inflation is true, the universe went through an episode dominated by a different form of dark energy in the first moments of the big bang; but inflation ended, indicating an equation of state much more complicated than those assumed so far for present-day dark energy. Could the same happen again ? Recent decades have taught cosmologists that the universe is stranger than they thought.

Choosing among these rival scenarios is done by 'weighing' the universe -- i.e., measuring the relative contributions of matter -- radiation, dark matter and dark energy to the critical density.

More concretely, competing scenarios are evaluated against data on

40. galaxy clustering and distant supernovae, and on the anisotropies in the Cosmic Microwave Background.

In short, recent decades have taught cosmologists that the universe is stranger than they thought.

HE: Gee, I wonder who got that fellowship grant ?

THE ORB: Better yet, the Oscar or Nobel ?

BOOLE: As mortal universes go, Dyson's eternal intelligence hypothesis proposes that an advanced civilization could survive for an effectively infinite period of time while consuming only a finite amount of energy. Such a civilization would alternate brief periods of activity with even longer periods of hibernation.

THE ORB: Now you know why they barely bathe in Berkeley.

BOOLE: John Barrow and Frank J. Tipler (1986) propose a Final anthropic principle: the emergence of intelligent life is inevitable, and once such life comes into being somewhere in the universe, it will never die out.

Barrow and Tipler go even further: the eventual fate of intelligent life is to permeate and control the entire universe in all respects but one: intelligence cannot halt the Big Crunch.

Moreover, it will not want to do so because the main source of energy in a universe undergoing a Big Crunch will be a hot spot in the sky arising from an asymmetrical contraction of the universe. They speculate that the required asymmetry will be engineered by some form of intelligent life.

Tipler's Omega point scenario (Tipler 1994) concludes that the reverse of the eternal intelligence scenario would be the case for a civilization caught in the final stages of a Big Crunch. Such a civilization would, in effect, experience an infinite amount of "subjective" time during the remaining finite life of the universe, using the enormous energy of the Crunch to accelerate

41. information processing faster than the approach of the final singularity.

HE: Surely, there are alternative theories ?

BOOLE: You mean like intelligent design, global cooling, plasma cosmology, or the abiotic theory of hydrocarbon formation ?

HE: The what-what theories ?

BOOLE: Actually, more observations than theories, thus better.

THE ORB: Exactly.

HE: Ah, the dénouement, but the name will not be revealed.

BOOLE: Though possible in theory, it is not obvious whether there will ever exist technologies that will make any of these doomsday scenarios feasible.

Moreover, effective solutions may be indistinguishable from the present state of our universe.

In other words, if beings cannot stop the universe from collapsing, at least they can use the energy of the collapse to simulate future universes -- roughly reminiscent of the Matrix movies -- that resemble the ending universe, but with artificial or compressed time scales.

HE: Hold the phone ! Didn’t those movies exploit Albinism ?

BOOLE: Virtually every major religion has an end-of-the-universe story. The theological study of the ultimate fate of the universe and/or the ultimate destiny of human kind is called eschatology. Many religious groups are torn as to whether their theological beliefs about the end of the world can be made compatible with the scientific theories of the end of the universe.

For example, a text that reads "and all the stars fell from the sky" might, on the one hand, show a misunderstanding of what stars are (as mere points of light). But if that text has actual true implications from a divine intelligence, it might reference any

42. one of a number of modern secular theories about the end of the universe.

HE: Guess we better go hibernate.

BOOLE: Tread softly so as not to leave a carbon footprint.

THE ORB: Is there a carbon credit for that ?

WRITTEN ON SCREEN: "No man or woman born, Coward or brave, can shun his destiny.” - Homer

NARRATOR: After that previous Boole-shit, it should be obvious that it wasn’t just his direct idea for him to purchase his Excalibur on-line, it was also Boole’s. So if this is his confessional, it is an indictment of Boole and his disciples too.

THE ORB: Boole, show him a map with the shortest way to the police station.

BOOLE: He wanted to post it but I wouldn’t show him how.

THE ORB: Then why couldn’t you have led him to a Daisy bb gun ?

BOOLE: Why ? An internal locus of control as much as drive and you should know that. It will be his choice, with a bit of prodding on my part, to get an Excalibur in two assemblies: One with the butt- stock accessory and receiver; the other the barrel and the scope. Then some interchangeable barrels, then the caliber converter, then the ammo, then the crutches, finally, the Mountain Dew bottle.

THE ORB: A bottle of what ?

43.

BOOLE (digresses): I think I will have him order all the accessories for his Excalibur .

HE: (looking wide-eyed at the screen): Whoa, this one has four parts and the barrels are different. But all fit.

BOOLE: Five, counting the scope. And you are right, all the parts interchange. [Laughs.] Avoid muzzleloaders. You might look a tad suspicious with a flintlock under your coat.

HE (to himself like a boy on Christmas day): Now, which one should I get ?

THE ORB: He doesn’t need to know this. Nor, do most folks quite frankly.

BOOLE: Not only will this be his weapon but with my help, he will use numerous computer maps of whatever “Mall,” and in whatever city, the Mass Hypnotist will be. This way he can track the movements, the routes, the layout, the landscape, the buildings and the quickest routes of departure.

HE (looking at the computer): Fuck it, let the catalog lead me.

BOOLE: Don’t forget, add a new scope if your model doesn’t come with one. [Motions to him.] Look at the accessories here.

INT. ROOM - NIGHT

NARRATOR: Thus, there he was, sitting along at home. Stone drunk of course, watching an old movie and surfing. When, finally, his daily encounter with yet another Mass Hypnotist set him into action.

He first saw his chosen Excalibur quite by accident while meandering about the surf. It caught his eye as if ordained by God.

BOOLE: Bravo, Excalibur ! So modified that was to be his sword.

HE: Yes, look, according to Boole Excalibur is so versatile, both

44. as pistol and rifle, and can be so easily field-stripped that it can be carried in public in many guises.

THE ORB (sarcastically voiced): Oh, great, Art Deco for wanna-be assassins.

HE: But what of the bullet, and the guise of the caliber of Excalibur ?

BOOLE: Later you will read more on a Sub-caliber conversion sleeve that is chamber length, as well as paper patching the projectile base. But you still have to demo the barrel after you have removed and destroyed the sleeve, or any caliber converter, and firing pin in case there is some sort of micro-fingerprint on the center or rim of the casing. The same for the casings: file and punch out all potential markings.

THE ORB (noticeable upset at the going on, interrupts without salutation): Boole told you did this ? Paper-patching ? That is from a made-up movie.

BOOLE: He is watching it now while he queries me.

HE: A few choice words, separated by and’s and/or or’s, from me only, and Boole led me all the way. And I am learning quickly through him and him alone.

THE ORB: You didn’t order those things ?

HE: Of course, but there is so much out there that you need to narrow it down, map it out, strategically plan.

THE ORB: And Boole helped ?

HE: Are you kidding ? I couldn’t have done the operation without the help.

BOOLE (laughs at his double speak): We aims to please and have something to please almost everyone. Whatever you think, whatever they tell you. Get a pencil and paper and take a long look.

NARRATOR: He does so and writes as he views the monitor intently.

45.

BOOLE: Get to know this acronym: B.R.A.S.S.

B - breath control, take a deep breath, exhale, take another deep breath and exhale half way:

R - mental and physical relaxation, as you quickly set your natural point of aim.

A - aim; stock weld to cheek and shoulder cushion; eye relief; hand positioning.

S - sight alignment and sight picture. Get exact eye relief (id est, the distance between the eye and the scope), find the center of mass of the target, focus on front sight -- in this case the cross hairs -- then see the target's mass blur; and, lastly and most importantly;

S - slack and squeeze, or the slow, steady, even movement of the trigger completely to the rear using only the front pad of the shooter's right index finger until the hammer falls.

BOOLE: Now, get ready to write this down too.

HE: Show me.

BOOLE: I want you to order the Excalibur so you can mix and match. All the accessories are there too, order all that you need. Remember, order each at different addresses but keep the caliber the same, large, probably greater than 5.56mm, or .223 so you can convert back down.

HE: How do I learn to hide Excalibur from the evil Mass Hypnotist Squealers ?

NARRATOR: The computer flickers as the previous movie ends.

BOOLE: Okay, now watch this movie carefully.

46.

NARRATOR: He obediently sits at his computer as the original DAY OF THE JACKAL plays. After a bit of viewing, he eagerly writes down the ideas of how to assemble and disassemble his Excalibur quickly.

BOOLE: Now, let’s search for more modern ways to hide it in plain view. You can watch the movie while we do this per your request.

THE ORB: Yea, let him play out this fantasy. But in the end he will not do it for fear of getting caught or living the rest of his life on the run.

BOOLE: Who says he will live out the rest of his life ?

THE ORB: What did you say ?

01100111110110101101011010101101

NARRATOR: Hooray ! It’s happy hour at his favorite strip bar in Gainesville, Florida.

This was not a typical strip bar as it is also a restaurant with pool tables and a raw bar. Florida Gator memorabilia and emblems adorn the walls.

A large trough surrounds the inside bar and male oyster shuckers stand behind the bar while topless strippers dance above them in birdcages. Scantily clad waitresses service the mostly male patrons feeding at the tables and trough.

The large room in the back for lap dances, and just beside the men's room -- for convenience.

He was making his way past the bevy of beavers in a manner Jim Bridger would have been proud of when he had an epiphany of sort.

THE ORB: What’s the name of the bar ?

NARRATOR: Oh, the name of the bar ? You mean a combination Strip Bar/Oyster Bar ?

47.

THE ORB: Did I stutter ?

NARRATOR: ClamBumpers.

THE ORB: I had to ask.

HE (drunk, to himself): What screwed up the old west wasn’t the choo-choo train, gold, or manifest destiny. It was women. It was a 24/7/365 frat party before those people ruined it with Abolition, Prohibition, Women’s Suffrage, Civil Rights, Equal Rights, and Pro- Choice. Ruined it all, and all because of them.

BOOLE: Ah, the good ‘ole days. Where the motto was, “One night with Venus means a lifetime with Mercury.”

THE ORB: And what has this to do with oysters and tits ?

HE: Men had it made back then. Our jobs and lives were simple: We road on a horse all day; sang simple, dumb songs; shit and pissed on call; bathed when the fuck we felt like it; shot pistols and rifles for fun and relaxation; had more personal freedom than any group ever in history; didn’t worry about blood pressure or cholesterol; ate meat, biscuits, bacon, and beans three times a day; sat around the campfire farting and telling bad jokes; and, educationally, we were required to learn only a real small lexicon: giddyap, little doggy; raise you $10; whoooooa mule !; how much for a whore ?; and our favorite: Barkeeper, give me whiskey.

THE ORB: Not much has changed it would seem.

BOOLE: Only if you are a gangsta rapper.

HE: It was not a taxing task for men to say the least. But noooooooo, we got lonely, and then somehow we found out, from women, that our all-night drinking, gambling, whoring and general partying was baaaaaaad and we had to work more. And -- boom ! -- within a generation, all the fun was shot to shit because of the hole that won’t heal.

THE ORB: Maybe you need to go herd sheep in Montana instead of this obsession you’ve been having about Mass Hypnotists .

48.

HE: Don’t get me wrong, Brokeback Mountain ain’t making it, but take the dark and foreboding queer progressiveness out of it and they had the right idea.

THE ORB: And you want to elect them president ?

NARRATOR: He was still high from the khat and starts chowing down on ice cold, single-select-cup, Cedar Key oysters, a dozen hot wings, and gulping a real 64 oz pitcher of Heinie when a 30ish, short, bespectacled, lithe, Asian male walks in wearing Dale Earnhart NASCAR clothing and hat. His deep southern accent belies his looks. The slope’s rebel yell disturbs his gluttony.

VOICE: Howdy partner !

HE (looks up with an oyster hanging from his mouth): Chin Dong ! Have a seat, a draft and a wing, buddy. How's it hanging, Dong ?

NARRATOR: Chin sits, grabs a glass of beer and a wing.

CHIN (laughs at the amount of food): Got enough to eat there, dude ? [Chows down and relaxes.] Man life sucks for an oriental hick.

HE: Come again ?

CHIN: First off, my southern accent doesn't exactly endear one to most people. Then growing up I was always the enemy when we played war. Nowadays, everyone who sees me thinks “he has to be Patient Zero for SARS” or “Jesus, what product did he cause to be recalled ?”

HE: It can't be that bad.

CHIN: Hell, I thank God for swine flu, focus on them illegal Mexicans for once.

HE: Stop bitchin.

CHIN: Oh yea, how many Chinese NASCAR fans do you know ?

HE: Counting you ?

49.

CHIN: Ah huh.

HE: One.

CHIN: Riiiight. Now people assume you can't suck at math with my name, but guess what ? I can’t add to 10 or balance a checkbook to save our republic. In addition, I hate Chinese food, love country music, fried chicken, and am a conservative, family value Republican to boot. Just don't fit in anywhere.

HE: You do in the South.

CHIN: Yea, by His grace, but my name seriously sucks.

HE: What's wrong with Chin Dong ?

ORB (sniggering like a Looney Tone’s character): Chin Dong ?

CHIN: Remember when that chink hit our plane over the China Sea in 2001, before 9/11 ? Remember the Pilot's name ?

HE: No.

CHIN: Wong 'fucking' Wei. Christ in a cartoon, this is no time to be called Chin Dong. Well, at least it isn't Long Dong.

HE: Welcome to America, pal. How are your dogs ?

CHIN: You mean Dammit and Stupid ?

HE: Ones in the same.

CHIN: Getting a little long in the tooth, but doing okay.

ORB (in a very bewildered tone): He has dogs named Dammit and Stupid ?

HE: Chin, just how did your dogs come to be called Dammit and Stupid ?

CHIN: Turns out they imprinted on the names when I was raising

50. them as pups. I was a lousy master in the beginning, I kept yelling those words and the little bastards took them as names. Now they are part of the family.

HE (laughing): Being from the South it's a small miracle they don't answer to motherfucker and cocksucker.

NARRATOR: Chin smiles as he gulps down a select cup and chugs a big gulp of Heinie.

BOOLE: Boaz and Meade were wrong, and Cosby is right; definitely environment influencing heredity.

DISSOLVE TO:

DREAMSTATE - FOG

NARRATOR: An image came forth. A to-die-for, six-foot tall stripper -- all legs, with deep brown eyes, sunset blonde hair, painted-on silk shorts and a school girl top tied at the midriff -- saunters up showing off that tight, natural 36d cup body.

She sits next to a now drooling and moaning Chin and without another needed word she slips out of the chair and onto his lap.

He notices immediately that it holds him like the shock of an octopus cup, and her southern accent is like honey to a starving brown bear.

STRIPPER: Howdy, boys ! Let's do some shooters.

NARRATOR: It was like her body was a thunderbolt from Thor. The lightning of her electric body made him lose all sense of space and time. He turns and signals the barkeeper.

HE: Got a good idea, let's do shooters. I love that accent, where are you from, Miss ?

STRIPPER (falsely offended): Dulcinea, amnesia boy, your short- term memory seriously sucks.

THE ORB: When you go on your next date, remember to carve her name

51. into the back of your hand with a butter knife so you won't be stealthy searching her purse for ID by the popcorn stand. I told you her name was Dulcinea.

HE (to himself): Who ?

THE ORB: Are you thinking about the Nerdy Cosmetologist again ?

HE: The first time she sat next to me I moved to give her berth. She told me not to be shy, that she didn’t bite... hard. Then she ordered a gargantuan drink called Sex On The Beach. I didn’t sleep well for a week after that encounter.

THE ORB: She in not here so get your head in the game.

HE: Dulcinea ! Hey, do you know my friend ?

Dulcinea: I've seen him here before, mostly staring at my tits, like now.

NARRATOR: Chin snaps out of his mammary-induced, dementia-precox as he does intros.

HE: Dulcinea, this is Chin Dong. Chin, this is Dulcinea, ah, I didn't get your last name ?

NARRATOR: She said something to the effect her surname meant Buttery-Pink-Nipples-Nipples-Nipples, something like that, in Hebrew.

CHIN: Ah, yea, ahhh...

HE: Chin, I guess you would have failed Scripps Spelling Bee too.

NARRATOR: Ah, yea, and ahhh were the only syllables able to escape Chin's mouth as he was again gawking, transfixed, at Dulcinea's near perfect hooters. The ubiquitous one floats above him.

THE ORB: No help this time.

BOOLE: According to a Mass Hypnotist , all those BCE Fascists who entered, act in, and run the pornography industry, have done so as

52. individuals pursuing the American dream, not as representatives of their religious group.

HE (to himself): Hefner, Flynt and Guccione somehow balance all those who wanted you.

THE ORB (interrupts): Blame the user, not the dealer of the drug.

NARRATOR: He stops talking for a beat then muses to the girl.

HE: Chin is quite the wordsmith, but he hates the name Chin Dong.

Dulcinea (standing statuesque): My girlfriends and I think Chin Dong is our new favorite Chinese food.

NARRATOR: The moronic, clueless, Southerner of Asian descent finally spoke a discernible syllable.

CHIN: Why ?

NARRATOR: Dulcinea was grinning ear-to-ear at Chin's naivete.

BOOLE: In the last few decades, the term “sniper” has been used rather loosely -- especially by media -- in association with police precision riflemen; as well as those responsible for assassination, any shooting from all but the shortest range in war, and any criminal equipped with a rifle in a civil context.

In yet another cover-up of American atrocities against Serbia in the Kosovo and Bosnian Wars, and the Lebanese for much of the Siege of Beirut, the term 'sniper' was used to refer to what were generally ill-trained soldiers who terrorized civilians, mainly by firing at them from windows and rooftops.

During the Siege of Sarajevo, the main street of the city became falsely known as “Sniper Alley”.

53.

HE: However, many, many people, even politicians, or Croatian Olympic swimmers, lie about that, as they do with all things not progressive.

NARRATOR: Dulcinea is busy licking his ear.

HE: I mean honestly, between the Universe blowing up or burning up, and a lack of sexual creativity caused by STDs, why go out ?

BOOLE: The problem with places like this is that men like Maslow and Jung lose their significance.

THE ORB: You are not going to rant about BCE Fascists are you ?

BOOLE: Why is it a rant to discuss Maslow’s critique of Kinsey and the fallacy of the volunteer ? Or my fond feelings for Alfred Adler, and Benoit Mandelbrot ?

THE ORB: Because, it always denigrates into his absolute disdain for Mass Hypnotists and, and...

HE: Alvin, the Chipmunk.

THE ORB: Alvin, the Chipmunk ?

HE: Yea, how many American families have siblings named Alvin, Theodore, and Simon ?

54.

BOOLE: Did you know that there are comparative theories of Sexual creativity in the three branches of psychology respectively: psychoanalysis, behaviorism, and humanistic psychology.

Each of these branches holds a sharply different view on the Nature of man which reflects in each psychology's explanation of creativity, its source and purpose.

NARRATOR: He ignores Boole and feverishly searches his pocket.

THE ORB: Do you have enough dollar bills ?

HE: I think so.

BOOLE (drones on and on): Psychoanalysis proposes that creativity wells up from unconscious drives. There are differing opinions about how this occurs, but the various psychoanalytic schools of thought generally suggest that creativity is a by-product of primary processes. Freud takes a pathological view of the creative process. This seems characteristic of his general view of man. Freud felt only unhappy people experienced daydreams and fantasies; these are an integral part of the creative process. To Freud there was great similarity between neurosis and creativity. He felt both originated in conflicts stemming from wish fulfillment and biological drives. Creativity is the sublimation of sexual drives in the psychoanalytic depiction.

Carl Jung extends creative functioning by further dividing artistic creativity into two categories, psychological art, and visionary art. It is psychological art which appears to be generated by primary processes. Thus, psychoanalytic theory seems best able to explain psychological art and creative acts where the incentive is not the act itself, but rather relief from pain, anxiety, or sexual tension. Explaining creativity solely as sublimated sexual energy, and libidinal curiosity is, in my opinion, reductionistic and cannot interpret all its dimension.

B. F. Skinner, a radical behaviorist, does not assign creativity to these unconscious drives; yet, a quotation he consistently used to assert the falsity of such assignment refers to this primal sexuality in life.

55.

According to B.F. Skinner, creativity results from reshuffling psychic material which is unconscious to the individual and thereby only seems spontaneous. The creative act, from a behavioral viewpoint, would be a cognitive behavior pattern which first accessed unconscious material and then synthesized it in the context of an immediate stimulus (problem). Then operant conditioning occurs as the tension subsides because the individual had found a successful solution. The individual may experience additional operant conditioning if other people praise the creative product. Thus as Skinner's refers to in "A Lecture on 'Having' a Poem" the artist has learned the creative response because it has the potential to make him feel better.

People like B.F. Skinner have characterized man as being molded, conditioned, and programmed by the environment in rigid, almost inescapable ways. Skinner should be appreciated for having shown the extent to which man can be affected in this manner; but, we must stress man's ability to escape his fate. Creativity is one of the major means by which the human being liberates himself from the fetters not only of his conditioned responses but also of his usual choices.

Maslow said the concept of creativeness and the concept of the healthy, self-actualizing, fully-human person seem to be coming closer and closer together, and may perhaps turn out to be the same thing.

Creativity is essential to growth as the individual learns, and adapts to his environment and to an inner sense of values. As Maslow's statement indicates, this is part of being a healthy human being.

Viewing human Nature as a conscious, self-directed, self- actualizing, healthy process distinguishes humanistic psychology from psychoanalytic and behavioristic psychology. These latter psychologies see humankind and creativity in terms of base instincts and conditioned responses respectively.

Creativity infuses all of life. Abraham Maslow describes creativity in the life of his clients as follows: I learned from [them]... that a first-rate soup is more creative than a second- rate painting, and that, generally, cooking or parenthood or

56. making a home could be creative while poetry need not be....

HARD CUT TO:

NARRATOR: His neck nearly suffers hyperreflexia from Dulcinea’s tongue as a bevy of bosoms bounces by.

HE (squints): Look at the funbags on them.

BOOLE SU= (hooters) AND KW= (funbags): (redirect) breast (brest) n. a. Either of two milk-secreting, glandular organs on the chest of a woman; the female mammary gland. b. A corresponding rudimentary gland in a human male, especially when enlarged by exposure to estrogen or appearing to be enlarged by overlying body fat.

ORB: So, how do we create if we can’t sketch or write ? Sex addiction ? Maybe creative character assassination ?

HE (still gawking at many mountains of mammae): A little of both.

THE ORB: Who wrote that creativity claptrap, Boole ? Or, doesn’t it matter anymore who gets proper citations and who plagiarizes ?

HE (annoyed look): Hey, Boole, just borrowed some lines, okay ?

BOOLE: In summary, it is clear that the various branches of psychology have different views of human experience which influence their theories of creativity. It is also evident there are common threads in many of the theories.

All these psychologies see creativity as an encounter with, and merging of divergent information but disagree about the source of that information and the procedure through which it is processed.

Most creativity theories, with the exception of the behavioristic ones, see creativity as a process through which the individual finds relationship with the environment. For psychoanalysis this is a neurotic function; for humanistic psychology it is a sign of health.

57.

With this wide divergence the only seemingly obvious conclusion is that the substance and source of creativity still elude discovery. We are able to see creativity's effects, feel its inspiration, and use it in a myriad of ways. As if standing in a hall of mirrors, we reflect creativity back upon itself and speculate upon its Nature never knowing which image is real and which the reflection.

Everywhere creativity reflects itself without revealing its true Nature. Each reflection is different in its own environment yet isomorphic of the others. We "create" metaphors that describe, and theories to explain the acts by which metaphors and theories are themselves brought into being. Fully engaged we seek the mercurial Rosetta stone that reveals the common language of these many forms.

Creativity may be the step-child of psychology but we are enamored by it and, as we attempt to forge a relationship with it we remain "lost in the present" and lost in the presence of a seemingly uniparous force.

THE ORB: Did you understand any of that even though it was lacking a proper bibliography ?

HE (to himself - gawking at Dulcinea’s heaving chest): Damn, this bitch has got some nice titties.

BOOLE: As you can see the term “sniper” has mixed connotations. Official sources often use other terms, especially for police snipers: “counter-sniper,” “precision marksman,” “tactical marksman,” “sharpshooter,” or “precision shooter”. Some of these alternatives have been in common use for a long time; others are closer to undisguised euphemisms.

THE ORB: Don’t not swallow this poison pill, whether a metaphor for business, politics or Mass Hypnotists .

HE: How about assassins ?

BOOLE: Yes, I suppose so, if you don’t get caught. And even if you

58. do you may well be immortalized and memorialized in a musical. Do you remember well what we have learned so far ?

NARRATOR: He would plan ahead and make contingencies, that is the key.

THE ORB: The beast that is a metaphor for the war machines of the world.

BOOLE: His Tarnished Tank was the Starsky and Hutch style (red with a large pointed white racing stripe arching across the body) 1974-1976 Gran Torino, originally produced by the Ford Motor Company from 1968–1976.

It’s predecessor was the Ford Fairlane, and it’s successor was the was the Ford LTD II.

The Torino, also called the Gran Torino, was a mid-size, two door coupe in its day, but in the America of today it is quite large.

After 1976, Ford discontinued the Torino. The Torino chassis actually lived on for three more years, under the LTD II and the downsized 1977 Thunderbird.

Now most were like any useless, tarnished, rusty, old muscle car.

INT. SCHOOLHOUSE - DAY

BOOLE: Deputy Coroner Janice Ballenger said the scene inside the Amish schoolhouse was horrific.

BALLENGER: There wasn’t a desk or chair in the room that wasn’t

59. covered in blood or broken glass.

BOOLE: Ballenger, who said the aftermath of the shooting had left her in "a fog," counted as many as 20 bullet holes in one of the girl's bodies.

Police said on Tuesday that Roberts left notes saying he was filled with hatred toward himself and God because of the death of his daughter nine years ago. Elise was born prematurely and lived about 20 minutes.

THE ORB: So, he was angry with God. Or, did he kill in the name of God ?

HE: Now, finally, you are getting it.

BOOLE: He also told his wife he had molested young family members when he was 12 and was planning to get revenge for another event that happened 20 years ago.

HE: I guess he was mad he couldn’t marry them at age six, consummate at age nine, then be called a prophet.

THE ORB: Kind of a post office feel to it, huh ?

BOOLE: The teacher in the tiny classroom, Emma Mae Zook, told the Lancaster Intelligencer Journal that she sensed something was wrong when Roberts stood very close to her to talk but didn't look her in the eye.

The 20-year-old teacher said he came in and asked whether anyone had seen a clevis, or U-shaped metal fitting on the road. He briefly left the school and returned with a gun.

A number of people quickly ran out of the school before Roberts let the adults and male students go, said Zook. As they all ran to a nearby farm, she said they could hear Roberts nailing boards across the doors of the schoolhouse.

BOOLE: In mathematics and physics, chaos theory describes the

60. behavior of certain nonlinear dynamical systems that under certain conditions exhibit a phenomenon referred to as chaos.

Among the characteristics of chaotic systems, described below, is the sensitivity to initial conditions (popularly referred to as the butterfly effect).

The story of Chaos begins in number, specifically in the mathematics and geometry of the fourth dimension. This is the home of Complex numbers and Fractal Geometry. Unlike the other dimensions -- the first, second and third dimensions composed of the line, plane and solid -- the fourth is the real world in which we live. It is the space-time continuum of Man and Nature where there is constant change based on feedback. It is an open system where everything is related to everything else. Prior science and math was concerned with closed systems in the first, second and third dimensions. It emphasized "left brain algebra," and ignored "right brain geometry."

Since Einstein, we knew that even the third dimension -- solid bodies -- is just a model for reality, it does not exist. We, in fact, live in the fourth dimension of the space-time continuum.

However, since Benoit Mandelbrot, we know what the fourth dimension looks like, we know the fractal face of chaos. He is the key chaotician of our times, and before we begin our journey into the geometry of chaos, we must first understand his story.

The aforementioned Benoit Mandelbrot, who passed on 14 October 2010, aged 85, in Cambridge, Massachusetts, was both a retired IBM scientist and Professor of Mathematics at Yale. He made his great discoveries by defying establishment, academic mathematics. In so doing he went beyond Einstein's theories to discover that the fourth dimension includes not only the first three dimensions but also the gaps or intervals between them, the fractal dimensions. The geometry of the fourth dimension -- fractal geometry -- was created almost single-handedly by Mandelbrot.

It is now recognized as the true Geometry of Nature.

Mandelbrot's fractal geometry replaces Euclidian geometry which had dominated our mathematical thinking for thousands of years. We now know that Euclidian geometry pertained only to the artificial

61. realities of the first, second and third dimensions. These dimensions are imaginary. Only the fourth dimension is real.

You see, before Mandelbrot, the academic math world was dominated by arithmetics, geometry was relegated to a secondary inferior position. Math prided itself in its detached, abstract isolation, completely apart from the real world -- particularly Nature -- breathing instead the refined and pure air of its own self- contained universe of number.

In the last century it even divorced itself from physics, its sister science for centuries. The elite world of mathematicians became very isolationist, very remote from Nature.

Then along came Benoit Mandelbrot to change math forever. An unlikely revolutionary, he was born into the atmosphere of academic math. His uncle, Szolem Mandelbrot, was a member of an elite group of French mathematicians in Paris known as the "Bourbaki."

Benoit Mandelbrot was born in Warsaw in 1924 to a Lithuanian Jewish family. His parents foresaw the geopolitical realities and moved to Paris in 1936. They picked Paris because Szolem Mandelbrot was well established there as a mathematician. The Mandelbrot family, a necessarily tight-knit group, survived the War in Tulle, a small town south of Paris, where young Benoit received no regular formal education.

Shockingly, Benoit was never taught the alphabet and never learned multiplication tables past fives. He claimed not to know the alphabet so it is difficult for him to use a telephone book.

Still, he had a special genius, and after the war, Benoit enrolled in elite Paris universities and started to follow in his Uncle's mathematical footsteps. He had a tremendous gift in math, but it proved to be quite different from his uncle's, in fact quite different from anything seen before in academia. He had a visual mind, a geometric mind, in a school setting where this was discouraged.

He solved problems with great leaps of geometric intuition, rather than the "proper" established techniques of strict logical analysis.

62.

For instance, in the crucial entrance exams he could not do algebra very well but still managed to receive the highest grade by, as he puts it, translating the questions mentally into pictures. Benoit was clever and hid his gifts until he had obtained his doctoral degree in math. Then he fled academia and his uncle's "bourbaki" math and began to pursue his own way.

His journey took him all the way to the United States, far from academia, eventually in 1958 leading to the shelter of IBM's research center in Yorktown Heights, New York. His choice of the world's most successful computer company as employer proved to be quite fortuitous. The young genius from the French math establishment was allowed free reign to pursue his mathematical interests as he wished. They proved to be more diverse, eclectic and far-reaching than anyone could have imagined.

His intellectual journey took him far from the beaten roads of academic math into many out of the way disciplines. For instance, he became expert in certain areas of linguistics, game theories, aeronautics, engineering, economics, physiology, geography, astronomy and of course physics. He was also an avid student of the history of Science. Importantly, he was also one of the first mathematicians in the world to have access to high-speed computers.

WRITTEN ON SCREEN: “ Every so often I was seized by the sudden urge to drop a field right in the middle of writing a paper and to grab a new research interest in a field about which I knew nothing. I followed my instincts, but could not account for them until much, much later.” - Benoit Mandelbrot

BOOLE: That quote, a seemingly random pursuit of knowledge from a variety of unrelated fields was unheard of at the time. All of academia and science was heading in the opposite direction towards ever greater specialization. His concern with a broad spectrum made him an unpopular maverick in establishment circles, and generally unwelcome in the fields he would visit. Still, he was a brilliant mind, and wherever he went he left behind intriguing insights and still managed to stay in the good graces of his employer.

63.

It was Mandelbrot, for instance, who when investigating economics first discovered that seemingly random market price fluctuations can follow a hidden mathematical order over time, an order which does not follow standard bell curves usually found in statistics.

His now famous study in the field of economics concerned the price of cotton, the commodity for which we have the best supply of reliable data going back hundreds of years. The day to day price fluctuations of cotton were unpredictable, but with computer analysis, an overall pattern could be seen. Patterns in statistics are nothing new, but in economics they are quite elusive.

Moreover, the pattern that Mandelbrot found was both hidden and revolutionary. Mandelbrot discovered a pattern wherein the tiny day to day unpredictable fluctuations repeated on larger, longer scales of time. He found a symmetry in the long term price fluctuations with the short term fluctuations. This was surprising, and to the economists - and everyone else - completely baffling.

Even to Mandelbrot, the meaning of all this was still unclear. Only later did he come to understand that he had discovered a "fractal" in economic data demonstrating recursive self-similarity over scales.

Get his drift ?

HE: Instinct is chaos. Follow your instinct.

BOOLE: A major study about assassination attempts in the US in the second half of the 20th century came to the conclusion that most prospective assassins spend copious amounts of time planning and preparing for their attempts. Assassinations are thus rarely a case of 'impulsive' action.

However, about 25% of the actual attackers were found to be delusional, a figure that rose to 60% with 'near-lethal

64. approachers' (people apprehended before reaching their target). This incidentally shows that while mental instability plays a role in many modern-age assassinations, the more delusional attackers are less likely to succeed in their attempt.

The report also found that around two-thirds of the attackers had previously been arrested for (not necessarily related) offenses, that around 44% had a history of serious depression, and that 39% had a history of substance abuse.

In other words, they can profile the striking similarities.

BOOLE: The ideas of self-similarity and scaling embodied in these verses are critical to understanding the Laws of Chaos. Wherever we look in Nature we find fractals with self-similarity over scales. It is in every snow flake, every bolt of lightening, every tree, every branch; it is even in our very blood with its veins, and in our Galaxies with their clusters.

Thanks to Mandelbrot and other recent insights of chaoticians, we now have a mathematical understanding of some of the heretofore secret workings of Nature.

We understand for the first time why two trees growing next to each other in the forest at the same time from the same stock with the same genes will still end up unique. They will be similar to be sure, but not identical. Just so every snowflake falling from the same cloud at the same time under identical conditions is still unique, different from all of the rest. This is only possible because of the infinity which lies in the dimensions and the interplay of chance - the unpredictable Chaos.

WRITTEN ON SCREEN: “He alone could have found the way back to the causeway... The Russian people were left floundering in the bog. Their worst misfortune was his birth... their next worst his death.” - Sir Winton Churchill

65.

BOOLE: Following the 1917 February Revolution in Russia which saw the overthrow of Great War adversary Emperor Nicholas II, Kaiser Wilhelm II arranged for the exiled Russian Bolshevik leader Vladimir Lenin to return home from Switzerland via Germany, Sweden, and Finland.

Wilhelm hoped that Lenin, (born Vladimir Iljic Lenin, a Kalmyk – Moslem after his father, and a Jew of the Polish Jewish family of Bank in his mother's line) would create political unrest back in Russia, which would help to end the war on the Eastern front, allowing Germany to concentrate on defeating the Western allies.

The Swiss communist Fritz Platten managed to negotiate with the German government for Lenin and his company to travel through Germany by rail, on the so-called "sealed train;" and as quoted often by Churchill and others, “..... it was to seal the virus of central control from spreading . ”

Lenin arrived in Petrograd on 16 April 1917 and seized power seven months later in the October Revolution. Wilhelm's strategy paid off when Russia signed the Treaty of Brest-Litovsk on 3 March 1918, withdrawing from the war and ceding Finland.

However, on Lenin's orders, Czar Nicholas II, Wilhelm's first cousin; Empress Alexandra; their five children; and their few servants were executed by firing squad in Yekaterinburg on 17 July 1918.

HE: This is what happens when Mass Hypnotists usurp power.

BOOLE: The theory of state monopoly capitalism (STAMOCAP) was initially a Marxist doctrine popularized after World War II. Lenin had claimed in 1916 that World War I had transformed laissez-faire capitalism into monopoly capitalism, but he did not publish any extensive theory about the topic. The term refers to an environment where the state intervenes in the economy to protect large monopolistic or oligopolistic businesses from competition by smaller firms.

66.

STAMOCAP theory aims to define the final historical stage of capitalism following monopoly capitalism, consistent with Lenin's definition of the characteristics of imperialism in his short pamphlet of the same name.

Occasionally the STAMOCAP concept also appears in neo-Trotskyist theories of state capitalism as well as in libertarian anti-state theories. The analysis made is usually identical in its main features, but very different political conclusions are drawn from it.

The main Marxist-Leninist thesis is that big business, having achieved a monopoly or cartel position in most markets of importance, fuses with the government apparatus. A kind of financial oligarchy or conglomerate, whereby government officials aim to provide the social and legal framework within which giant corporations can operate most effectively.

This is a close partnership between big business and government, and it is argued that the aim is to integrate labor unions completely in that partnership.

Different versions of this idea were elaborated by economists of the Communist Party of the Soviet Union (e.g. Eugen Varga), East Germany's Socialist Unity Party, France's Parti Communiste Francais (e.g. Paul Boccara), the Communist Party of Great Britain (e.g. Ben Fine and Laurence Harris), and the American Communist Party of the USA (e.g. Victor Perlo). One of the most prominent examples of STAMOCAP is modern day Singapore (STAMOCAP) compared to Hong Kong (individual capitalism before China takeover).

WRITTEN ON SCREEN: “Ever since monopoly capital took over the world, it has kept the greater part of humanity in poverty, dividing all the profits among the group of the most powerful countries. The standard of living in those countries is based on the extreme poverty of our countries. ” — Che Guevara, Mass Hypnotist , 1965

BOOLE: The strategic political implication of STAMOCAP theory for Marxist-Leninists, near the end of the Stalin era and afterwards, was that the labour movement should form a people's democratic

67. alliance under the leadership of the Communist Party with the progressive middle classes and small business, against the state and big business (called "monopoly" for short). Sometimes this alliance was also called the "anti-monopoly alliance".

In neo-Trotskyist theory, however, such an alliance was rejected as being based either on a false strategy of popular fronts, or on political opportunism, said to be incompatible either with a permanent revolution or with the principle of independent working class political action.

The state in Soviet-type societies was redefined by the neo- Trotskyists as being also state-monopoly capitalist. There was no difference between the West and the East in this regard. Consequently, some kind of anti-bureaucratic revolution was said to be required, but different Trotskyist groups quarreled about what form such a revolution would need to take, or could take.

Some Trotskyists believed the anti-bureaucratic revolution would happen spontaneously, inevitably and naturally, others believed it needed to be organized - the aim being to establish a society owned and operated by the working class.

According to the neo-Trotskyists, the Communist Party could not play its leading role, because it did not represent the interests of the working class, only entities such as federal and private unions, in concert with STAMOCAP takeover of large unionized companies.

HE: And thereby destroying any non-union working class within.

BOOLE: Mandelbrot's eclectic research ultimately led to a great breakthrough summarized by a simple mathematical formula: z -> z^2 + c.

This formula is now named after its inventor and is called the Mandelbrot set. It is significant to understand that this formula, and the Law of Wisdom which it represents, could not have been discovered without computers. It is no accident that his discovery, which many say is the greatest in twentieth-century

68. mathematics, occurred in the research laboratories of IBM.

The Mandelbrot set is a dynamic calculation based on the iteration (calculation based on constant feedback) of complex numbers with zero as the starting point. The order behind the chaotic production of numbers created by the formula z -> z^2 + c can only be seen by the computer calculation and graphic portrayal of these numbers.

Otherwise, the formula appears to generate a totally random and meaningless set of numbers. It is only when millions of calculations are mechanically performed and plotted on a two- dimensional plane (the computer screen) that the hidden geometric order of the Mandelbrot set is revealed. The order is of a strange and beautiful kind, containing self-similar recursiveness over an infinite scale. This is shown below is the magnification sequence of the Mandelbrot set.

Mandelbrot's formula summarizes many of the insights he gained into the fractal geometry of Nature, the real world of the fourth dimension. This contrasts markedly with the idealized world of Euclidian forms of the first, second and third dimensions which had preoccupied almost all mathematicians before Mandelbrot. Euclidian geometry was concerned with abstract perfection almost non-existent in Nature. It could not describe the shape of a cloud, a mountain, a coastline or a tree. As Mandelbrot said in his book The Fractal Geometry of Nature (1983):

MANDELBROT: Fractal geometry is not just a chapter of mathematics, but one that helps Everyman to see the same world differently.

BOOLE: Before Mandelbrot, mathematicians believed that most of the patterns of Nature were far too complex, irregular, fragmented and amorphous to be described mathematically. But Mandelbrot conceived and developed a new fractal geometry of Nature based on the fourth dimension and Complex numbers which is capable of describing mathematically the most amorphous and chaotic forms of the real world.

Mandelbrot discovered that the fourth dimension of fractal forms includes an infinite set of fractional dimensions which lie between the zero and first dimension, the first and second dimension and the second and third dimension. He proved that the

69. fourth dimension includes the fractional dimensions which lie between the first three.

He calls the in between or interval dimensions the "fractal dimensions."

Mandelbrot coined the word fractal based on the Latin adjective "fractus." He chose this word because the corresponding Latin verb "frangere" means "to break," "to create irregular fragments."

He has shown mathematically and graphically how Nature uses the fractal dimensions and what he calls "self-constrained chance" to create the complex and irregular forms of the real world.

In this sense of the word fractal, it is now easy to see how our "natural consciousness," our consciousness before we complete the individuation process, is inherently fractal. It is fragmented, broken up into irregular fragments.

The human task is to realize the higher, hidden order of the fractal, to bring out a continuity of consciousness in our very being.

For a fractal as a geometric figure not only has irregular shapes - the zigzag world of Nature - but there is lurking in the disorder a hidden order in these irregular shapes. The irregular patterns are self-similar over scales. The overall pattern of a fractal is repeated, with similarity, and sometimes even with exactitude when you look at a small part of the figure. It is recursive.

For instance, if you look at the irregular shape of a mountain, then look closer at a small part of the mountain, you will find the same basic shape of the whole mountain repeated again on a smaller scale. When you look closer still you see the same shape again, and so on to infinity. This happens within the Mandelbrot itself where there are an infinite number of smaller Mandelbrot shapes hidden everywhere within the zigzags, spiral edges of the overall form.

As Mandelbrot points out this idea of "recursive self-similarity" was originally developed by the philosopher Leibniz, and popularized by the writer Jonathan Swift in 1733 with the following verse:

70.

WRITTEN ON SCREEN: So, Nat'ralists observe, a Flea Hath smaller Fleas that on him prey, And these have smaller fleas to bit 'em, And so proceed ad infinitum. - Jonathan Swift

BOOLE: Mandelbrot notes that this same verse was followed in 1922 by Lewis Richardson, a mathematician studying weather prediction, who coined the following widely known (among scientists) quote concerning "turbulence," the chaotic condition of liquids and horrible greenhouse gases:

WRITTEN ON SCREEN: “Big whorls have little whorls, Which feed on their velocity; And little whorls have lesser whorls, And so on to viscosity.” - Lewis Richardson

WRITTEN ON SCREEN: “It was media bias that led to our 9-11” - The Amish Albino

BOOLE: Even before Smith and the Amish could finish mourning, a much-needed community vigil and burying their young and innocent dead, the progressive, radical vermin came out of the woodwork in all directions to prostitute yet another tragedy for their progressive, or political gain.

Of all the groups exploiting 2-10, none was more repugnant than the non-ordained Reverend Fred Phelps and the unaffiliated Westboro Baptist Church. Yes, the same closet queens who protest the funerals of dead soldiers returning from overseas because God hates America. Much of their belief system is the principle that God hates homosexuals, and America is too progressive.

They sponsor the hilarious GodHatesFags.com website, and teach that most of the world's ills are caused by the increased

71. acceptance and tolerance of gays, lesbians and bisexuals.

They advocate the re-criminalization of same-sex sexual behavior and advocate the death penalty as the appropriate, Bible-based punishment.

There are also strong suggestions in the church teachings of racial bigotry, and religious hatred directed against Roman Catholics, Mormons, liberal Christians, Muslims, and, of course, real Jews. In years, the WBC has regularly disturbed mourners by picketing funerals of service persons killed in Iraq. They believe that the deaths are God's judgment on America.

Reverend Phelps had planned to picket the funerals of the Amish children because of former Pennsylvania Governor Ed Rendell's “blasphemous sins against the WBC.”

His crime ? Rendell slandered and mocked and ridiculed and condemned Westboro Baptist Church on national Fox TV.

Showing their true colors they cancelled the picketing because they were able to arrange to have a WBC spokesperson featured on the Mike Gallagher Show on OCT-05 that same year.

HE: Phelps has nine children, all are lawyers.

THE ORB (satirically): What a shock.

NARRATOR: However, others did not stop their exploitation.

BOOLE: Standing figuratively side-by-side with the unaffiliated Reverend Phelps (and his intolerant, in-bred law firm) in exploiting the Nickel Mines tragedy were the omnipresent other BCE Fascist, progressive Red Terrorists . Like those of the American Civil Liberties Union, the Southern Poverty Law Center; and, of course, the similarly non-ordained Reverend Barry Lynne of the similarly unaffiliated Americans United for the Separation of Church and State.

But none compare to the Southern Poverty Law Center, who, above all bottom feeders, saw this not as a tragedy, but an opportunity to reap progressive Red Terror , PR benefits on the coffins of the

72. innocent.

The Southern Poverty Law Center interviewed a liberal Colorado lackey of some so-called association against sexual assault.

NARRATOR: According to Boole, the lackey said, in part, that: "The tactic reinforces the message young girls in our society receive, which is that they need to fear men, especially men who are strangers. As for male students, the incidents will likely generate a sense of protectiveness and guilt. It is important that educators and parents validate students' feelings and normalize other feelings they may be having regarding the assaults."

HE: Tactic ? She suggested that teachers and parents should discuss sexual violence with all children, both male and female. It should be done realistically, stressing that a person's greatest risk is from someone we know.

Noxzema: The reduction of sexual violence will occur only when we change the beliefs and attitudes of a society that sees women as unequal and sexual objects.

HE: Guess it never dawned on Advil.

NARRATOR: He was about to start on one of those vicious, intolerant rants when the Orb interrupted.

THE ORB: That’s N, that’s Noxzema.

HE: Oh yea, right, no Nebraska jokes here. It never dawned on Tanganyika to send out condolences. Guess that would have been against her job description. Don’t forget, the ACLU, the SPLC, T- Paper, and Barry Lynne, they did this to you too.

THE ORB: Apples and oranges.

HE: Who are you with the anecdotes, Ronald Reagan ? You were treated the same, and like Phelps, just for anti-Christian beliefs and liberal progressive Red Terror politics of the BCE Fascists.

THE ORB (nearly sobbing): Don’t start that, please, you have promised before.

73.

HE: I’m sorry. Stream-of-consciousness lending itself to violent internal monologues. That’s chaos for you and the reader.

BOOLE: Noxzema and the SPLC’s BCE Fascists are also aware of numerous lawsuits by both the ACLU and Americans United to “protect” freedom of religious expression.

For example, the right of religious students to pray on the school bus, before high school football games, at the flagpole, in the corridors, commencements, in the classroom before or after classes, in the cafeteria, in religious clubs, so forth.

HE (in a rising voice to the Orb): You think I should stop ? They have no soul, exploiting the victims for sick progressive Red Terror ends.

THE ORB: And yourself ? This tome ?

BOOLE (to The Orb): Chime in only when needed. [To him.] Go on.

NARRATOR: Shut out of topic, the frightened Orb vanishes.

BOOLE: The term Serbophobia was used in the literary and cultural circles since before World War I: Croatian writers Antun Gustav Matoš and Miroslav Krleža had casually described some political and cultural figures as "Serbophobes" (Krleža in the four volume "Talks with Miroslav Krleža", 1985., edited by Enes Cengic), meaning that they perceived an anti-Serbian animus in a person's behavior.

Acin-Kosta, Milos in his book Draza Mihailovic i Ravna Gora dedicates a section of his book to Serbophobia during World War II.

In the 1986 draft Memorandum of the Serbian Academy of Sciences

74. and Arts, Serbophobia is mentioned.

Another example of this use of the term in the 1980s was the meeting, which was organized by the Serbian Writers' Association on February 28, 1989 and was devoted to the theme of "Serbophobia". The meeting discussed the Croatian genocide of Serbs, including references to the Jasenovac concentration camp.

According to those who use the term, Serbophobia can range from individual hatred to institutionalized persecution. An example of Serbophobia is the jingle Alle Serben müssen sterben (All Serbs Must Die), which was popular in Vienna in 1914 (also occurring as Serbien muß sterbien).

That use of the term "Vlah", as well as the use of the word "Chetnik" as a derogatory designation for anything connected to Serbs (rather than a paramilitary group as in its standard meaning), has occurred in modern times, during and after the Yugoslav wars of the 1990s. The word shkije (sub-human) in the Albanian language is a derogatory word for Serbs. The same word has also been used by Croats.

Serbs are greatly underrepresented in the Croatian civil service in most areas with a significant Serb population.

The International Court of Justice in 1997 found genocide had been promoted by a “Patriotic Song” which read as follows:

“Dear mother, I'm going to plant willows. We'll hang Serbs from them. Dear mother, I'm going to sharpen knives, we'll soon fill pits again.”

Also, the publishing in a newspaper of, "Each Muslim must name a Serb and take an oath to kill him."

And, the radio broadcast of "public calls for the execution of Serbs".

Nato and the US have been accused of this prejudice, mainly from the fact that whereas humanitarian interventions occurred in response to Serbian atrocities, the Western powers failed to act in response to reports that Serbs were being massacred in Krajina. Furthermore, many individuals involved in this massacre were never

75. brought to trial or died before the trial could occur.

“ The Big Lie ” emotional engineering is done to prepare propagandistic diversions to save the autocracy from having to tell the truth on any subject.

While the Napoleon, Snowball, Squealer, and the BCE Fascist machine is the conduit for the propaganda, the real power decisions on this matter are in the hands of the World Controllers.

78.

And for Americans of all ages there is now propaganda used for distraction from serious thinking on this matter and that said distraction. It is the consumerism of the mass media social machines without regard to TITO.

In a nutshell, the consumerism it begot. Even the consumption function is part of the Keynesian economics.

Napoleon, Snowball and Squealer and their fellow pigs will tell you are better off, but are you ? Don't you work harder than ever ? Your spouse works harder than ever, and you hardly see your children. Crime, drugs, debt and amorality are rampant. Your real dollar earnings are less than the egregious progressive Red Terror LBJ years.

The more you work, the farther you seem from your goal, just like the peasants of feudal lords in the dark ages. But the oligarchy will hammer “ The Big Lie ” home: You are better off now that we are here, so be happy.

All propaganda has with it a mental pogrom, a solution, or a cure. That cure being socialism, progressivism. In other words: Big government.

Marx once said that he chose the word communism to differentiate his socialism from other "European" socialism. He also saw free trade as a way to bring about communism as socialism and is the only answer to the wage slavery Napoleon, Snowball, and Squealer have forced upon the masses with free trade and unions.

Thanks to "downsizing," “globalism,” “outsourcing,” and “illegal immigrant” their lie is nearly bought.

Be thankful that Mass Hypnotists such as Napoleon, Snowball, and Squealer are still in small numbers. To remind, the last time five Mass Hypnotists existed in power and manipulated their citizens the world burned. Their names were: FDR, Hitler, Churchill, Stalin, and Mussolini.

HE: Or, are they here ?

BOOLE: How fortunate for us that Napoleon and Squealer do not

79. stand alone in their ability to lie big. The next time you hear Napoleon use his "Double-Speak" again watch closely as Squealer uses “ The Big Lie ” to revise history to accommodate whatever Napoleon, Squealer -- or their BCE Fascist masters -- tell them to do daily.

So in the end, Napoleon gets his way, and he, Squealer, even Snowball become more sophisticated in justifying their ever increasing greed. And the more difficult the propaganda is to justify, the more hoping side to side, and whisking of their tails will occur.

The next time Napoleon or Snowball -- and more and more it is the Squealers -- uses the “ The Big Lie ” every 15 minutes to "aim for your heart, and hit your stomach," have the smarts to question their wayward walk and don't wallow in their mendacious mudslinging.

HE: There is only one way to rid the world of a Mass Hypnotist .

HE: Speaking of Napoleon, Snowball and Squealer, how about a bit of HOG history ?

BOOLE: The company considers 1903 to be its year of founding, though the Harley-Davidson enterprise could be considered to have started in 1901 when William S. Harley, age 21, drew up plans for a small engine that displaced 7.07 cubic inches (116 cc) and had four-inch flywheels. The engine was designed for use in a regular pedal-bicycle frame.

Over the next two years Harley and his boyhood friend Arthur Davidson labored on their motor-bicycle using the northside machine shop of their friend Henry Melk. It was finished in 1903 with the help of Arthur's brother, Walter Davidson. Upon completion the boys found their power-cycle unable to conquer Milwaukee's modest hills without pedal assistance.

80.

Will Harley and the Davidsons quickly wrote off their first motor- bicycle as a valuable learning experiment.

Work was immediately begun on a new and improved machine. This first "real" Harley-Davidson motorcycle had a bigger engine of 24.74 cubic inches (405 cc) with 9-3/4 inch flywheels weighing 28 pounds. The machine's advanced loop-frame was similar to the 1903 Milwaukee Merkel motorcycle. They also got help with their new engine from outboard motor pioneer Ole Evinrude. Elder brother William A. Davidson also lent a hand.

The prototype of the new improved loop-frame model was assembled in a 10 by 15 foot (3 by 5 meter) shed in the Davidson family backyard. The machine was functional by 8 September 1904 when it was entered in a Milwaukee motorcycle race, the first known appearance of a Harley-Davidson motorcycle.

In 1917, the United States was drawn into World War I and the military demanded motorcycles for the war effort. Harleys had already been used by the military in border skirmishes with Pancho Villa but World War I was the first time the motorcycle had been adopted for combat service. Harley-Davidson provided over 20,000 machines to the military forces during World War I.

By 1920, Harley-Davidson was the largest motorcycle manufacturer in the world. Their motorcycles were sold by dealers in 67 countries. Production was at 28,189 machines.

Beginning in 1920 a team that consistently won races had a hog, a pig, as their mascot. Thus the nickname. Following a win, they would put the pig (a real one) on the back of their Harley and take a victory lap.

In 1921, a milestone was reached in motorcycle racing. A Harley- Davidson machine was the very first to win a race at an average speed of over 100 m.p.h. (160 km/h).

During the 1920s, several improvements were put in place, such as a new 74 cubic inch (1.2 L) V-Twin, introduced in 1922, and the gas tank still seen today, called a "Teardrop" tank, in 1925. A front brake was added in 1928.

81.

One of only two American cycle manufacturers to survive the Great Depression, Harley-Davidson again produced large numbers of motorcycles for the US Army in World War II and resumed civilian production afterwards, producing a range of large V-Twin motorcycles that were successful both on racetracks and for private buyers.

Upon the outbreak of war, the company, along with other manufacturing enterprises, shifted to war work. Over 90,000 military motorcycles, mostly WLAs and WLCs (the Canadian version) would be produced, many to be provided to allies. Shipments to the Soviet Union under the Lend-Lease program numbered at least 30,000. The WLAs produced during all years of war production would, unusually, have 1942 serial numbers. Production of the WLA stopped at the end of the war, though it would resume production from 1949 to 1952 due to the Korean War.

The U.S. Army also asked Harley-Davidson to produce a new motorcycle with many of the features of BMW's side-valve and shaft- driven R71. Harley largely copied the BMW engine and drive train and produced the shaft-driven 750cc 1942 Harley-Davidson XA. Due to the superior cooling of an opposed twin, Harley's XA cylinder heads ran 100° cooler than its V-Twins'. The XA never entered full production: the motorcycle by that time had been eclipsed by the Jeep as the Army's general purpose vehicle, and the WLA—already in production—was sufficient for its limited police, escort, and courier roles. Only 1,000 were made and the XA never went into full production. It remains the only shaft-driven Harley Davidson ever made.

As part of Post-WWII war reparations, Harley-Davidson acquired the design of a small German motorcycle, the DKW RT125 which they adapted and marketed as the "Hummer" from 1948 to 1966 (in the UK, BSA took the same design as the foundation of their BSA Bantam).

It was during this time that W. Edwards Deming began his series of lectures in Japan on quality, and his 14 Points for business transformation would eventually help save Harley-Davidson.

NARRATOR: He had to go in; he didn't want to, but there was a job yet unfinished. A bloody awful one too.

HE: I do hate these socially-engineered, progressive, Red Terror , socialist cretins so. They all seem to think I am here for their entertainment.

THE ORB: Reality check, dude, not function check.

BOOLE: His mind drifted off to the choice of an assault weapon for the day. Instead of the AR-15, he should have picked the full auto H and K MP5 or MP5N available with over 120 different variants for

83. different tactical applications; the Colt M4A1 full auto SOPMOD with its broad range of accessories; the Marine Corps M14 DMR enhanced 7.62 x 51mm assault rifle; even the Army Ranger's SR 25 or Navy Seals Mk11Mod0 as each was a sound variation of the Eugene Stoner rifle design.

THE ORB (flatly and loud): Helloooo, McFly ! Again, reality check, baby, not function check.

HE: Says you. Okay, not now. Besides, Boole is operating somewhere around here.

THE ORB: Find a happy place.

BOOLE: Historically, redfish were nearly fished out by greedy commercial and sports fishermen in the early 1970s. All because a fat-ass and his liberal, guilt-ridden, Portuguese, progressive Red Terror chef successor had never heard of conservation or even limits to size and amount as they sang the red's praises.

THE ORB: But they are hailed as icons when they can roast a bell pepper on the gas grill.

HE: Weeeee. You want to impress us, super chefs of the world ? Eat a dozen apples and shit a fruit salad.

THE ORB: Toss that salad more like it.

HE (laughing to himself): What do you call a nation where cooks, lawyers, cyclists, politicians, political pundits, activists, pornography whores, judgemental journalists -- even poker players -- become national icons ?

BOOLE: Kenya ?

HE: France. A nation dealing in beads as a culture and where a lamppost in New York City has more real value than a French President.

84.

THE ORB: Taller too.

BOOLE: It is not that bleak now. Thanks to real conservation measures, and redfish having a longevity of 20 years or more, reds have rebounded spectacularly and will continue to be abundant if properly fished by back-country guides, and sports fisherman.

And if America can keep those Russian, Norwegian, and Japanese marauders and their floating fish-concentration camps out of the near shore they should do well in the long run too.

HE: What are the size and bag limit ?

BOOLE: In Florida, nothing bigger than 27 inches can be kept as Red Drums that size are breeders and generally are full of worms. Nothing smaller than 18 inches as they have yet to spawn. And most important of all, only one fish per licensed fisherman can be kept per trip.

Besides, they never got much bigger than 27-40 inches in these parts.

HE: That’s cool I love to fish.

THE ORB: Twenty-seven to forty inches ? That’s about the height of French Emperors and tyrannical presidents.

NARRATOR: Little did he know, this fish -- this Red Drum called Khat -- was to be different. Very, very different.

NARRATOR: The tarnish tank rumbles on, free -- for now --- of wildfires and nose-pickers.

He turns down a deserted dirt back-road using the map Boole gave him that showed a stealth shortcut to Ground Zero .

Miles down the deserted road he sees a light-skinned, white-haired young man; dressed like some lame movie character, next to a four- wheeled, horse-drawn, black buggy.

85.

The buggy, now with a broken wheel is stuck for sure and the odd- looking fellow is tying the horse to the field fence nearby and giving it water.

THE ORB: What the... ? [To him.] Don’t call him anything inappropriate.

HE: You mean like Whitey or Ishmael ?

NARRATOR: The heat is sweltering so he stops near the young man to render assistance.

HE: Do you need a lift to a station ?

AMISH ALBINO (realizing that was a silly question but being cordial otherwise): Yes, thank you. There is a local horse ranch, and blacksmith about 10 miles from here if you don’t mind.

NARRATOR: The young man then sat passively in the passenger seat. He had an odd accent, a German-Dutch-affected English. His apparel was seemingly old county: Black pants and black suspenders, white shirt, flat round black-rimmed hat and hard black loafers. No fashion plate here.

BOOLE: I know what you’re thinking: This is their version of FUBU, Sean John, and Tommy Hilfiger.

HE: Where are you from ?

AMISH ALBINO: Pennsylvania, of course. Florida transplant. May I smoke ?

NARRATOR: Though it annoyed him, and he didn’t want to be insensitive, so he rolled down his window.

HE (in an annoyed tone): I didn’t think you people smoked ?

THE ORB: Don’t say “you people,” they get upset.

BOOLE: He is not a Negro. If he were maybe he could get you a date ?

AMISH ALBINO: I am not Mormon. Could use water and cold beer too, the humidity and sun down here are getting to me.

HE: I am heading to Pine Island, would you like to join me ? We can get you cooled off.

AMISH ALBINO: Thanks, but I called the Elders. We have to get to my Uncle’s buggy fixed if I want to get to, [Fades out, but He hears the man say Ground Zero , then the man’s voice Fades in] to hear his speech.

HE: Thought maybe you were headed to Hollywood for an extras casting.

NARRATOR: A cell phone rings, as he didn’t own one, it had to be the Amish Albino’s.

AMISH ALBINO (opens his formerly hidden cell phone): Hello ? Yes, brother, I got a ride. Will meet you at the farm and we will motor back and get the horse and buggy. Right. Thanks. [Closes cell phone and turns.] Sorry to interrupt. And thanks for the ride. They are expecting us.

HE: It’s just they are always looking for bad guys and you cover two of them. You wouldn’t be Serbian or Rastafarian too ?

THE ORB: Let it go, dude.

AMISH ALBINO: No, just an ordinary guy going to hear someone extraordinary speak down here. [Looks about the countryside.] This is odd flora and fauna. Beautiful but very bad for my asthma.

HE: Who are you going to hear ?

AMISH ALBINO: Him. [Fades out.]

NARRATOR: As he waited for the answer -- before he was about to describe what little he know about plants -- the snoring of the Amish Albino makes him smile. This was a cool man.

87.

BOOLE: William McKinley was a product of the old Ohio Republican machine and its king-maker, Marcus Hanna, the soon-to-be renowned Wizard of Oz. Hanna ran the Ohio Republican party with an iron, ruthless hand by 1890, and was instrumental in having McKinley elected Governor of Ohio in 1891 and again in 1893.

In 1895 Hanna saved McKinley’s -- another republican businessman -- reputation when his financial ruin threatened, groomed him for the presidency in 1895, and was responsible for his nomination by the Republicans in 1896.

As chairman of the Republican National Committee Hanna boldly made that campaign based on anti-Free Silver, defense of business and property and against the populist doctrines of the Democrats enunciated by William Jennings Bryan.

Hanna also took political fundraising to new levels and even bought his own way into the U.S. Senate in 1897.

William McKinley’s assassination took place on September 6, 1901, at the Temple of Music, in Buffalo, New York. President William McKinley, attending the Pan-American Exposition in Buffalo, was shot twice by Leon Czolgosz, an anarchist.

McKinley initially appeared to be recovering from his wounds, but took a turn for the worse six days after the shooting and died on September 14, 1901.

Theodore Roosevelt, and ally of Mark Hanna until the Spanish-American War, which Hanna opposed, succeeded McKinley as President. McKinley was the third of four American presidents to be assassinated, following Abraham Lincoln in 1865 and James Garfield in 1881 and preceding John F. Kennedy in 1963.

After McKinley's murder, Congress would officially charge the United States Secret Service with the physical protection of American presidents.

11000000010111011100011101011010

BOOLE: Albinism (from Latin albus, meaning "whitened board") is a

88. lack of pigmentation in the eyes, skin and/or hair.

Albinism is an inherited condition resulting from the combination of recessive alleles passed from both parents of an individual. This condition is known to affect mammals, fish, birds, reptiles, and amphibians.

The gene which results in albinism prevents the body from making the usual amounts of the pigment melanin. Albinism used to be categorized as Tyrosinase positive or negative. In cases of Tyrosinase positive albinism, the enzyme tyrosinase is present. The pigment cells are unable to produce melanin for any one of a variety of reasons that do not directly involve the tyrosinase enzyme. In tyrosinase negative cases, either the tyrosinase enzyme is not produced or a nonfunctional version is produced. This classification has been rendered obsolete by recent research.

About 1 in 17,000 people have some type of albinism, although up to 1 in 75 are carriers.

There are many alterations of genes which are proven to be associated with albinism. All alterations, however, lead to an alteration of the melanin (pigment/coloring) production in the body. Melanin helps protect the skin from ultraviolet light coming from the sun (see human skin color for more information). Organisms with albinism lack this protective pigment in their skin, and can burn easily from exposure to the sun as a result. Lack of melanin in the eye also results in problems with vision unrelated to photosensitivity, which are discussed further below.

There are two main categories of albinism in humans: oculocutaneous and ocular. In oculocutaneous albinism, pigment is missing from the hair, eyes, and skin. In ocular albinism, only the eyes lack pigment. People with oculocutaneous albinism can have no pigment to almost normal. Some may even tan. People who have ocular albinism have normal skin/hair color and many have normal eye color.

The eyes of an animal with albinism occasionally appear red due to the underlying blood vessels showing through where there is not enough pigment to cover them. In humans this is rarely the case, as a human eye is quite large and thus produces enough pigment to lend opacity to the eye. However, there are cases in which the

89. eyes of an albino person appear red or purple, depending on the amount of pigment present.

People with albinism are generally as healthy as the rest of their species, with growth and development occurring as normal. Many animals with albinism, however, lose their protective camouflage and are unable to conceal themselves from their predators or prey.

The survival rate of animals with albinism in the wild is usually quite low. The main problem that people with albinism face is social, as the condition is sometimes a source of teasing during adolescent years.

As albinism is a recessive gene, the chance of offspring with albinism resulting from the pairing of a creature with albinism with a creature without albinism is very low.

BOOLE: According to sniping manuals, and especially when tracking the Mass Hypnotist , the proper understanding and application of the principles of cover and concealment; used along with the proper application of Urban structures, helps protect the sniper from a Mass Hypnotist’s observation.

NARRATOR: The public park will do for him, he thought. After all, it wasn’t named after a Mass Hypnotist , but their fathers.

So he began spending every spare minute of every day and night at that park, as he read and re-read the definitions and technical orders of an Urban Sniper.

Practicing and rehearsing for two years with the Orb who would rather be elsewhere.

THE ORB: I understand walking in the park. But why did you stealthily send him into the woods and next to the tree lines and buildings ? The kids playing baseball are watching him.

BOOLE: To learn to blend, walk between the sunshine, raindrops,

90. dawn and dusk. All without an iota of notice being paid. That is the goal.

THE ORB: He shouldn’t have that much trouble being alone having developed the personality of an unused zip code. If he keeps doing this he will be on a post office wall very soon.

NARRATOR: He ignored that last remark as Boole’s comments were still on his mind.

HE: It was especially quiet during the Thanksgiving-Christmas holiday when no one would come out because of fear of the Mass Hypnotist .

BOOLE: Especially during leap year. And you know, this place, this park, has much the same fauna as your favorite Ground Zero . HE: What an odd coincidence.

TOP BILL MOYERS'S CAREER HIGHLIGHTS

* Texas native, former summer intern to, and long-time friend and crony of Lyndon Baines Johnson.

* Named Deputy Director of Peace Corp for the Kennedy Administration -- aka, an LBJ mole -- at VP Lyndon Johnson's insistence.

* Somehow Moyers, without written authority, was put "in charge" of JFK trip to Dallas on Nov. 22, 1963. All this despite working only for the Peace Corp, a supposedly non-partisan organization started by JFK.

* Moyers states later that the only "major decision" he made with respect to Dallas was that: "... some 24 hours before the President arrived, there was a dispute as to whether or not to print in the newspapers the route." Said Moyers, "Betty Harris called me... and said they were not going to print the route of the... [motorcade] procession and I said, “Oh, yes they are. He's

91. not coming down here to hide. He's coming down here to get a public reaction, and the decision is to print the route of the President's procession."

* Unluckily for JFK, Moyers influence and presence was also felt at Love Field the morning of Nov. 22, 1963, when JFK's flight arrives from Fort Worth. Once again Moyers, without written authority, seemingly takes charge of President's security in the motorcade going to downtown Dallas, overriding the Secret Service.

* Moyers is caught in another lie above as he is witnessed to have made a second "major decision" when he issued, once again without any written authority, or an order to Secret Service, is on the phone with Betty Harris, informing her that day that the President did not want the bubble-top in Dallas. He again told Betty Harris to “get that God-damned bubble off unless it's pouring rain.” Shortly thereafter the weather began to clear. Ms. Harris approached Secret Service Agent Forrest Sorrels about the bubble- top and together they had the agents remove the glass top: "Take the God-damn bubble top off so the President can be seen !"

* Moyers, whose alibi was being in Austin, quickly flies to Dallas from Austin AFTER Kennedy is assassinated. Almost as if he knew to book a flight, and somehow, 90 minutes after JFK dies, Moyers was in Dallas and sends LBJ a note that says “I am here if you need me.” LBJ lets him witness his swearing in.

* Bill Moyers is immediately promoted to "special assistant" to LBJ by LBJ on November 24th, 1963, one day after JFK was murdered.

HE: Jesus, the body wasn’t even cold.

THE ORB: It is a shame.

HE: Well, at least it didn’t take 11 days for him to die.

THE ORB (now very upset): That is not fair.

NARRATOR: As he looked upon the soundly sleeping Albino Amish he pondered.

92.

HE: What would Boole think ?

THE ORB: Just ask him. For like the rest of them, he will eventually tell you what you want to hear.

HE: Now that is a good idea. Boole ?

BOOLE: One of the best ways to attract the attention of both the public and the media in America is to try to avoid it. Hollywood thrives on those who hide from photographers, deny interviews, or attempt to live private lives. They often arouse our curiosity. Since we know so little about them, they seem mysterious and we want to know more.

The Amish are a good case in point.

HE: Or, mock them.

BOOLE: Every year there is a steady stream of books and articles, both popular and academic, about the Amish. And few sub-cultures in America are as photographed by both professionals and tourists as are the Amish. The Amish have been a popular subject for TV shows and movies precisely because they are so different from "mainstream America."

Unfortunately for many people, their "knowledge" of the Amish comes almost entirely from TV and movies.

A columnist for the New York Post wrote once that "Everything I know about the Amish, I learned from the old Harrison Ford movie, Witness."

While undoubtedly an exaggeration, this is a bit like watching a Tarzan movie in order to learn about African culture, “Sanford and Sons” for black-American culture, or "The Sopranos" to gain insight into the lives of average Italian-Americans today. While such shows may be entertaining, they also stereotype and make it difficult to separate fact from fiction.

HE: Man, fuck this and those BCE Fascists.

93.

NARRATOR: He gets very, very angry just as a Monarch butterfly flies by, its wings flapping. He sees such allowed bias leading to assassination, kidnapping, forced religious conversion, terror, and murder.

HE: Who is it that controls the bias machine ?

NARRATOR: The Orb tries to console him but his anger mounts.

HE: Boole, help me, show me who brings this to light. A list just of some of the extreme examples of Amish bias in the BCE Fascist medium.

BOOLE: If you insist. Let me read, make that recite, what those in the know about this bias wrote. [Boole begins to recite.] Vindictive Mass Hypnotists , as well as Hollywood and Broadway, have long introduced violence, and guns, into the once peaceful Amish society.

NARRATOR: Boole starts to read a list like he was reading a teleprompter:

BOOLE: Violent Saturday - 1955. The film Violent Saturday, directed by Richard Fleischer, was about people in a small town who become involved with a bank robbery gone wrong. One of the local residents is an Amish farmer, played by Ernest Borgnine. In a plot twist similar to the original script of Witness, which had Kelly McGillis use a gun to save Harrison Ford’s life, the Amish farmer is forced to resort to violence to save his family. The theme of peaceful Amish and a violent modern society have since become standard fare in many films and TV shows.

Witness - Peter Weir's 1985 acclaimed drama Witness is set and filmed in the Amish community of Lancaster County, Pennsylvania. The story focuses on the interaction and culture clash of an Amish family with a Philadelphia detective hiding among them while he investigates a murder that an Amish boy witnessed.

The film won an Oscar for screenwriting and was nominated for several other Academy Awards.

Harrison Ford, Jewish himself, had no compunction about showing an

94.

Amish woman, the powder-laden McGillis, as a sexually repressed Amish woman who gets laid and starts shooting guns for fun.

TAG-LINE: “A man of force, a woman of faith, worlds apart.”

HE: Gag me with dirty socks.

BOOLE: As film critic Roger Ebert wrote, “The love that begins to grow between them is not made out of clichés; the cultural gulf that separates them, is at least as important to both of them as the feelings they have. When they finally kiss, it is a glorious sensuous moment because this kiss is a sharing of trust and passion.”

HE: Ebert liked it, huh ? That meant the characters were either gay, liberal, or transvestites.

THE ORB (lightly laughing): Of course. This is the same progressive Red Terrorist who gives any film with gay sex a BIG, BIG thumbs up.

HE: Yes, thanks to people like him people now buy Amish fertilizer disguised as rabbits.[Dripping sarcasm.] Wow, have they helped them or what ?

BOOLE: For those visitors who have seen the film, the local town sequences were filmed in the village of Intercourse, particularly on the porch of Zimmerman’s Store on Main Street. Just up Queen Street near the Best Western Inn, Ford (dressed in Amish clothes) gave an obnoxious punk a bloody nose while a local businessman complained, "This is not good for the tourist trade."

Because of Harrison Ford’s popularity around the world, and the marketing of the film as a romantic thriller, millions of people from Europe to Japan saw Witness.

For many, it was an “introduction” to Amish culture, and a visit to a locale and people that were foreign to most people’s perceptions of America.

It remains a popular film, often shown on TV, and now to be re- released as a 20th anniversary “Collectors Edition” DVD by

95.

Paramount Pictures in August.

Harvest of Fire - a 1996 Hallmark Hall of Fame made-for-TV movie about an FBI agent's investigation of cases of suspected arson in an Amish farming community, and the relationship she develops with an Amish woman who helps her to uncover the truth.

The similarities to the movie WITNESS are obvious. There is a widowed Amish lady, Annie Beiler, played by Patty Duke. There is a detective from the outside world, in this case FBI agent Sally Russell, played by Lolita Davidovich.

BOOLE: And there is a shocking crime, in this case a series of barn burnings in the Amish community. The movie was obviously inspired by the 1992 Amish barn fires in Pennsylvania, set by an arsonist, which was investigated by the FBI as a hate crime.

TAG-LINE: "Can two women from such distinct worlds overcome the barriers that separate them ? They come from different worlds. A mystery brought them together. The answer changed their lives."

HE: Even Davidovich, who is Serbian, mocks them. She should know better.

THE ORB: No, that’s Hollywood. Even the Serbs don’t have good PR, remember ?

BOOLE (continues): Devil's Playground - a 2002 documentary follows a group of Amish teenagers during Rumspringa and portrays their personal dilemma with both the vanities of the English world and the decision of whether or not to be baptized as adult members of the church.

Kingpin - a 1996 some so-called comic movie portrayals of the Amish include Randy Quaid’s Amish character "Ishmael Boorg" in a sick film directed by the Farrelly brothers in 1996.

Even though movies about the Amish may be entertaining, they also stereotype and make it difficult to separate fact from fiction. The problem is often compounded in comedies, where the whole point is to exaggerate and make fun of situations and people.

96.

Woody Harrelson is Roy Munson, a bowler with a hook for a hand (it's a long story), who meets a young Amish man, Ishmael Boorg (Randy Quaid), whose father’s family farm is in default, and whom Roy thinks he can groom for competitive bowling contests. Roy disguises himself as an Amish male and visits Ishmael’s family in an attempt to convince him to hit the road as a bowler.

HE: Him ? Is JFK killed by his father in this one too ?

BOOLE: Would you like me to find out ?

THE ORB: No ! Just get this over with.

BOOLE: In the end, Roy saves Ishmael’s farm, and an Amish band gives a concert on an outdoor stage as the Amish line dance into the cornfield.

THE ORB: Stop. He, and they, get the idea.

BOOLE (continues): For Richer or Poorer - a 1997 so-called comedy starring Tim “Snowman” Allen and Kirstie “Depressed Scientologist” Alley, also about city folk hiding among the Amish.

The story is about rich New Yorkers who try to evade the IRS by taking refuge on an Amish farm. Tim tries to pass himself off as a distant Amish relative. Many "funny" situations follow as the city folk try to adapt to life among the simple Amish.

Does this sound at all familiar ?

Tim has problems with the horse, getting up early, the hard work, and the food. Poor Kirstie, on coming face to face with a cow in a field at night, screams as if she has met Godzilla. Then she is forced into trying to milk cows and clean house, activities she finds disgusting, to say the least. Distraught at the drab colors and styles of Amish clothing, she tries to convince the Amish elders that it might be nice to wear pink. She even throws a fashion show in the barn, with the Amish modeling her wild creations.

What Amish movie would be complete without a big barn raising or dance ?

97.

Naturally, it's all good-natured and there's a happy ending. When the New Yorkers confess to not being Amish, their new friends reveal that they had known this all along (as they certainly would have).

In both of these comic films, the Amish are used merely as a plot device, and most of the laughs are at the expense of the non-Amish characters. Of course, no one in his or her right mind would go to a movie like this truly expecting to gain any real or valuable insight into the Amish. Still, it probably reinforces a lot of stereotypes and misconceptions about the Amish; and even New Yorkers.

NARRATOR: Funny ? Offensive ? Harmless ? You be the judge.

BOOLE: Accordingly, the Amish on regular TV get no better treatment.

Aaron’s Way - Probably the “Kingpin” of TV in regards to socially disemboweling a fine people. 1988 NBC aired a family drama about an Amish family who move to California and have to adjust to a non- Amish lifestyle.

There were scenes of the Amish being frightened by various modern appliances, including ringing telephones. Again, the idea was that they didn't know about such things, even though the Amish do use telephones. (Many even have cell phones now.)

Plot: Amish boy Noah runs away from home. Becomes a surfer in California. Dies in surfing accident. Leaves behind pregnant wife. His Amish family moves to California to take care of wife and baby… and help run her family’s vineyard.

North - Rob Reiner's 1994 comedy bombed, as it should have. North, includes a short vignette sequel to Witness with two of the original actors, Kelly McGillis and Alexander Godunov, portraying what might have happened to their characters after the end of Witness.

MacGyver - The year is 1988, season four of this popular TV series. In Episode #67, titled “The Outsiders,” MacGyver meets the Amish in Pennsylvania.

98.

TAG-LINE: “Witness” meets the story of Baby Jessica.

The Night They Raided Minsky's - a 1968 comedy is the story of an Amish girl who goes to New York in the 1920s to be a dancer and ends up as a burlesque stripper. Kind of like Randy Quaid in Kingpin.

Even in novels, which should know better, the Amish are attacked.

The Silk Code - Paul Levinson's 1999 Locus Award-winning novel. Amish farmers are involved in murder mysteries are also central to this science fiction mystery about biotechnology and mysterious deaths.

Plain Truth - Jodi Picoult's 2003 novel (and 2004 TV movie) Plain Truth, is a crime drama about the death of a newborn infant on an Amish farm.

Picket Fences - As with the movie WITNESS, a common story line involves the Amish and a crime, with the ensuing legal, moral, and cultural clashes. This provides an "instant" dramatic situation filled with tension and conflict.

The TV series "Picket Fences," created by well-known David E. Kelley, had a surprisingly compelling story concerning an Amish girl who is attacked on a trip to town, and the court case that followed. The drama focused on "respect for religious convictions versus the welfare of the community.

Since the Amish do not prosecute in court, the Amish elders do not permit Hannah Beiler to testify or press charges against her attacker. "We condemn the sin, not the sinner." The sheriff (Tom Skerritt) ponders holding Hannah in contempt, even putting her in jail. The Amish elders are brought to court in an effort to pressure them, but the Amish just want to be left alone. "It is easy to hate. We are asked to take a higher road." In the end the attacker is released.

Unfortunately, the released man immediately goes out and attacks another girl, who is not Amish. The girl’s father sues the Amish elders for $300,000, claiming this is all a result of Hannah’s not being permitted to testify. The Amish are forced to get a lawyer,

99. and Hannah, who is not yet baptized, clearly wants to testify. The prosecuting attorney states that "no belief system can take precedence over the legal system of the state."

The defending lawyer argues that the Amish choose not to get involved in the "world," that they live their faith, and this is not easy. "Rather than condemn or be afraid, we should seek to learn from it."

As the jury is handing down its verdict of "not guilty," the police are chasing the fugitive attacker through town on foot. He comes face-to-face with Hannah as her family is leaving court. He asks Hannah for forgiveness as he is gunned down by the police.

While the ending was contrived and melodramatic, the episode was intelligently written and thought provoking.

Lois & Clark: The Adventures of Superman - had an interesting twist when Lex Luther was shocked to learn that the only pocket of people in America he could not brainwash was the Amish, because they didn't have telephones or TV's at home.

As The World Turns - Even episode of a soap opera "As the World Turns" involved a woman who had an accident, lost her memory and ended up living with the Amish until her memory was restored after another accident. (Some TV writers work hard to get the Amish into a story.)

The Ben Stiller Show - or, the sickening “yenta” show as he and it are known, had a skit called “Amish Studs,” which was a spoof of “The Dating Game.” Amish fathers stood behind their daughters as they were chosen by Amish suitors, and the scene ended with a fistfight. After the skit, one of the actresses was asked if she thought it was funny. Her response, “Kinda funny, if you enjoy picking on really peace-loving, defenseless people.”

Seinfeld - talked about going to the Amish Country to buy quilts.

THE ORB: Is that mercifully over ?

NARRATOR: Not close. Boole was to let him know that the worst was yet to come. Novels, reality TV, and the Great White Way.

BOOLE: “Amish in the City” - In the summer of 2004 a controversial reality-television program called Amish in the City was aired on now dead UPN. It was where Amish teenagers are exposed to non-Amish culture while living together with "English" teens as the Amish teens decide if they want to be baptized into their church. It should be noted that the conduct of the teenagers involved, and the allowance of the community for the teens to participate, would not be condoned by the majority of the Amish.

"... a campaign to stop the show has been started by lawmakers, rural groups, Pennsylvania Dutch tourism officials and representatives of the Amish. The “Center for Rural Strategies,” a nonprofit organization based in Whitesburg, Ky., has helped organize opposition to the Amish show." Its president, Dee Davis, said: "Once again Viacom has created a reality show where rural people were going to be these curios. Viacom's got plenty of ways to make money without ridiculing rural people." (Viacom owned CBS and UPN.)

Representative Joe Pitts organized a campaign against the show, sight unseen. Joseph Yoder, an Amish cultural historian, said that he was opposed to the "whole thing of televising the Amish and putting Amish people on TV [because] they're trying to stay separated from the world."

"During the [initial] episode, the Amish begin to experience unfamiliar technologies, from the mundane (escalators, parking meters) to the advanced (airplanes), and new foods, including sushi and avocados. Together, all of the roommates visit scenic Los Angeles destinations, including an emotional first-time visit to the ocean for some of the Amish and a spectacular rooftop view of the downtown skyline."

HE: Kinda of like For Richer or Poorer in reverse.

BOOLE: The show was shown to a group of TV critics (all non-Amish) who "seemed unoffended." The first episode was shown on 2004-JUL- 28, the ninth and last was on SEP-15. A description of each episode is available online.

Cold Case - On October 7, 2007, the CBS TV show Cold Case featured the episode "Running Around," in which the team re-opens the 2006 case of a missing Amish girl who was murdered during her

Rumspringa journey to Philadelphia.

"Weird Al" Yankovic - 1996 sick, unnecessary parody of Amish Paradise song and accompanying video was a send-up of Coolio's earlier hip-hop Gangsta's Paradise, with Yankovic in Amish garb and lyrics reflecting Amish themes.

The Angel Trilogy - Lurlene McDaniel.

Beverly Lewis' - extensive series of Amish romantic fiction. Hell, even older novels, that should know better, but were influenced by the Bolsheviks in America.

Tillie - Helen Reimensnyder Martin's 1905 novel about a Mennonite Maid, so harshly depicted its subjects as to provoke cries of misrepresentation.

Sabrina - Helen Reimensnyder Martin's 1905 novel Sabrina, this also “a story of the Amish.”

Stoning in Fulham County - In 1998, NBC presented a two-hour made for TV movie called "A Stoning In Fulham County." It was based on the true story of the death of an Amish baby in Indiana in 1979, retold in a compelling article in Rolling Stone Magazine (February 19, 1981).

“Patchwork” - Anna Balmer Myers' 1920 novel Patchwork; a Story of "the Plain People."

Amanda: A Daughter of the Mennonites, Anna Balmer Myers' 1921 novel is generally regarded, along with “Patchwork” as gentle correctives to the work of Martin.

Straw in the Wind - Ruth Lininger Dobson's 1937 novel Straw in the Wind, written while she was still a student at the University of Michigan and receiving that school's Hopwood Award, so harshly depicted the Amish of Indiana that Joseph Yoder was motivated to correct its harsh stereotypes with a better book about Amish life.

Rosanna of the Amish - Joseph Yoder 1940 - he wrote the gentler Rosanna of the Amish, a story of his mother's life (and his own).

Rosanna's Boys - Joseph Yoder’s 1948 sequel to Rosanna of the

Amish. Yoder also wrote numerous other books presenting and recording what he regarded as a truer picture of Amish culture.

HE (wondering silently): Now you would think that the progressive Red Terrorists would leave Amish children alone, right ? My guess is that Mister Boole knows differently.

BOOLE: An Amish family is tenderly portrayed in Marguerite de Angeli's 1936 children's story Henner's Lydia. Many of the author's illustrations were sketched at the site of the little red schoolhouse still standing at the intersection of PA route 23 and Red Schoolhouse Road west of Morgantown, Pennsylvania; the building is today known as the Amish Mennonite Information Center. The Lancaster County landscape portrayed in the end papers of the book can be recognized in the landscape today. De Angeli's illustrations of a nearby bank barn were sketched just hours before the barn was destroyed by fire. She incorporated the incident in her 1944 Caldecott Honor book Yonie Wondernose, a story about a curious Amish boy, younger brother to the Lydia of Henner's Lydia.

NARRATOR: And even in the theatre the Amish are taunted.

BOOLE: And it began with the sick “Plain and Fancy” - The 1955 Broadway musical An early portrayal of the Amish, the 1955 Broadway musical show Plain and Fancy, is set in Lancaster County but with a much lighter tone: it tells the story of a couple from New York who encounter the quaint Amish lifestyle when they arrive to sell off some property. This show brought depictions of shunning and barn-raising to the mainstream American audience for the first time.

HE: That is just plain awful.

THE ORB: Porgy and Bess with the same hate, but not much humor.

BOOLE: Some of the situations are stretched beyond belief, but the musical makes fun of both the Amish and the city folk. (One of the New Yorkers hides in the Amish house under the stairs to smoke cigarettes and drink scotch.) Shunning is treated in an entirely erroneous manner, arranged marriages are incorrectly part of the story, and there is much made about "hexes" when a barn burns

103. down. (The Amish don't even put hex signs on their barns, but a barn-raising is almost obligatory in such a show.)

Nevertheless, the tuneful music has a certain old-fashioned charm, and one song titled "Plain We Live," sums up the Amish quite well…

WRITTEN ON SCREEN: "Strangers look on us and call us strange, But lie, we don't, and cheat, we don't. And wars we don't arrange... Plain we are, for plain is good, And plain is how we want to live. We pray to God each day to keep us plain." - Progressives mocking the Amish on Broadway

Jacob's Choice - Locally, in 1995, the Amish Experience Theater produced an unusual "experiential theater" presentation on the Amish titled "Jacob's Choice." Unique to this story about an Amish family is that it focuses entirely on the Amish. There are no non- Amish or city folk involved in the story. Rather than being merely a plot device, the Amish are the story.

This was also the first time anyone tried to bring in the history of the Amish, how their forefathers were put to death in Europe and their seeking freedom in America. These Amish struggles with the "State" have been both a part of their past and the subject of many novels and movies in modern times as well. An attempt here is to relate what has happened to the Amish in the past with who they are today. In other words, the Amish are not cultural oddities or eccentrics. There is a reason behind what they do.

The story is told through the eyes of a teenage boy who must make his decision to join the Amish faith of his parents, or lead a more modern life in the outside world. (The Amish believe in adult baptism.) Rather than portray the Amish as saints or curiosities, here they become real people. It is a "universal story" told from a distinctive Amish perspective.

While special effects are used to bring the historical scenes to life, the emphasis remains on the family, the community, and why any young person would want to be Amish in modern-day America.

104.

While not all Amish young people join the church, approximately 85% do, resulting in the continual growth of the Amish population.

One of the show’s producers tells the story of a day when two ladies came to the theater. One was Amish, and the other her sister who had chosen not to join the church. At the end of the show, he asked them how they liked it. They answered, almost in unison, "It was a very good story."

If you visit Lancaster, you may wish to see "Jacob’s Choice" at the Amish Experience, on Route 340 between Bird-in-Hand and Intercourse.

THE ORB: Why not ? It’s the Great White Way.

HE: Cute.

BOOLE: So, to summon up, the Step-n-Fetch, Amish caricatures began, where else, in Hollywood and Broadway with the 1955 releases of the film Violent Saturday and the sick Amish musical, “Plain and Fancy.”

However, the production that helped spark the beginning of tourism in Lancaster County was the musical Plain & Fancy, which ran on Broadway from January 27, 1955, to March 3, 1956, for 461 performances at the Mark Hellinger Theater.

According to Ken Mandelbaum (www.Broadway.com), the producers and authors of Plain & Fancy were “sued by the writers of a 1952 play about the Amish called Wonderful Good that had been transformed into a musical and by Hex, produced in 1953 in summer stock in Lancaster, where the show took place.” This intimate little musical opened off-Broadway at the Tempo Playhouse on June 13, 1956, but only lasted for 40 performances.

It seems the show business world had had enough of the Amish. Except for the occasional book or magazine article, the Amish were not the focus of national attention over the next 30+ years: Until the movie Witness was released.

HE: And thank God for the invention of television, Mister Sarnoff.

105.

BOOLE: There’s one we left out. The absolute worst.

HE: Worse than Witness and the rest ?

BOOLE: The pristine worst of the worst.

THE ORB: This deserves a verbatim citation.

BOOLE: Gladly.

Murder, She Wrote - Television has been no kinder with mocking plot-lines of the Amish. But it was, “Murder, Plain and Simple” from the 1990-1991 season of the CBS-TV series “Murder, She Wrote” that has been singled out as the worst example of Amish/Albino bias in the history of media.

The CBS-TV series "Murder, She Wrote" had what is one of the single worst shows involving Amish characters that ever seen. Episode #152 from season seven (1990-91) presented a show titled “Murder, Plain and Simple.” Angela Lansbury’s character, Jessica, is visiting Lancaster County looking for quilts with her publisher’s assistant, Ruben Stoltz, an ex-Amishman. A near collision with a horse and buggy results in their wrecking the car. Jessica interrupts a Sunday Amish church service looking for help. When she walks in, an Amish elder tells her, "Any souvenirs you want, you'll have to purchase in town."

Jessica and Ruben end up staying overnight with Jacob Beiler. As it turns out, Jacob was responsible for Ruben being shunned years ago, mainly so Jacob could marry Ruben’s girlfriend, Rebecca. Ruben explains to Jessica, incorrectly, that shunning means not looking at, talking to, or sitting near someone under the ban. But the shunning of Ruben is “lifted” since he needs to stay in the house overnight due to his injuries in the crash.

That evening, Jessica sees Rebecca sneaking out to the barn. The next day Jessica finds Jacob's dead body hung up like a scarecrow. He was stabbed with a pitchfork.

It’s a long story, with various sub-plots and suspects, but Jessica finally discovers that Jacob was having an affair with an Amish woman. She threatened to reveal him, and he attacked her,

106. accidentally falling on a pitchfork she was using to defend herself. Ruben found the body in the barn after his secret meeting with Rebecca and, knowing he would be the prime suspect, moved Jacob’s body outside. Whew !

By the end of the show, Jessica has her quilt, justice is served, and an Amish elder tells Jessica that Ruben’s shunning will be “called off when he forgives himself.”

Just a typical day in Amish Country.

THE ORB: How to they get away with it ?

BOOLE: He knows. And the Amish are not the only ones to suffer.

HE: Mass Hypnotists .

THE ORB: This is terrible. Is there any recommended viewing of Amish in the media ?

BOOLE: None, just leave them alone, like they wish. Even trying to portray the Amish respectfully, the trend of stereotyping and misrepresentation of religious -- especially Christians -- and alternate groups, in the BCE Fascist media, continues unabashed.

THE ORB: And decades of such typecasting has it consequence, does it not ?

NARRATOR: He is distracted for a moment by a large swarm of monarch butterflies in the near distance, and so barely hears the Amish Albino mumbling in his sleep. Still, he tries to discern what he is saying.

THE AMISH ALBINO (groggy in mid-sleep): 2-10.

NARRATOR: Once understood, he drove in silence, and now very, very angry. For now, he was a real Witness to what the biased boors of Tinseltown and the Great White Way thought of the humble beasts they socially burden; mock, deny land and property; and continuously lie to, and about, with impunity.

BOOLE: Assassination is the targeted killing of a high-profile person. An added distinction between assassination and other forms of killing is that the assassin (one who performs an assassination) usually has an ideological or political motivation, though many assassins (especially those not part of an organization) also demonstrate insanity. Other motivations may be money (contract killing), revenge, or a military operation.

The assassination euphemism targeted killing (extrajudicial execution) is also used for the government-sanctioned killing of opponents.

'Assassination' itself, along with terms such as 'terrorist' ‘insurgent’ and 'freedom fighter', may in this context be considered a loaded term, as it implies an act in which the proponents of such killings may consider them justified or even necessary.

Assassination may also be used as a form of hyperbole, as in the phrase character assassination, meaning an attempt to impugn another's character, and thus kill, or "assassinate" his reputation and credibility.

BOOLE: In chaos theory, the Butterfly Effect refers to the extreme dependence of a system on initial conditions. Small variations of the initial condition of such a dynamic system may produce large variations in the long-term behavior of the system. This is sometimes presented as esoteric behavior, but can be exhibited by very simple systems: for example, a ball placed at the crest of a hill might roll into any of several valleys depending on slight differences in initial position.

The phrase refers to the idea that a butterfly's wings might create tiny changes in the atmosphere that ultimately cause a tornado to appear (or, for that matter, prevent a tornado from appearing). The flapping wing represents a small change in the initial condition of the system, which causes a chain of events leading to large-scale phenomena. Had the butterfly not flapped

108. its wings, the trajectory of the system might have been vastly different.

HE: Can the screams of the chopped-up unborn; or the weepy eyes of the physically challenged; or the nightmarish fears of the politically and religiously oppressed, the abused wife or child, the bullied, or wrongfully persecuted and punished, carry with them such impending catastrophes ?

THE ORB: Worse, I am afraid, much worse.

NARRATOR: He will constantly see it now, this chaos. Ever wondering is these all too self-similar fetal forms, ribbons of stars, even masses of lightning, were like the simultaneous beating of 140,000,000 butterfly wings.

HE: Or, maybe, the harbinger of the “ the Great Correction.”

BOOLE: You are all found guilty of supporting that tender, soft, cry of the beating wings of false, negative change.

HE (panting): Fuck me, this sucks. What the hell was I thinking ?

NARRATOR: Once again, stuck at the upscale, dog-shit laden public park. It was one fine autumn day. But he again was wasting it tepidly practicing -- like the novice he was -- cover and concealment. Then brandishing, firing, quickly field stripping, and disposing of his beloved Excalibur .

THE ORB: Which, at this moment, you might tell them is a large stick with duct tape on it.

BOOLE: He had already mapped out the park to resemble his favorite Ground Zero I showed him. Still, questions lingered.

HE: But how can you help one become a mental urban sniper ?

109.

BOOLE: It is easy, you know. Just look and think from behind your eyes. Nothing is whole, nothing is real, so talk to people and not through them. Especially when there is a police substation at the entrance to the park and blend in so dozens of LC Mounties don’t even pay attention to you.

THE ORB: People are important.

HE: How so ? Only as controllable numbers to Mass Hypnotists . And only if they have not been transformed into butterflies.

THE ORB: Don’t listen to Boole, or them for that matter, think for yourself.

HE: I thought that was what I was doing.

BOOLE: But they are everywhere.

THE ORB (to Boole): Who invited you ?

HE: Easy now, Boole is a welcome friend.

BOOLE: You have queried me as to the classical method.

HE: Exactly, so where does one begin that journey to historical martyrdom ? Do I begin by walking between the raindrops ?

BOOLE: Ask me later about the use of Cover and Concealment to engage and escape. You will look odd at first practicing, but even the Orb seems to think it part of his natural way. First, let’s start with you.

HE: If I exist at all.

BOOLE: Urban snipers should never wear suspicious garb so your second-hand Goodwill attire is almost perfect. Use inner and outer garments for quick changing. Being poor is an advantage. Also, your watch should never be metallic or a chrono-alarm, only wind up with a tinted lens, your sunglasses generic and black, et cetera.

HE: Never wear Velcro or metal.

110.

BOOLE (interrupts): See, you are a natural. Precisely. Never wear Velcro; carry loose change; wear shiny watches, chains or metallic or mirrored sunglasses. Never carry liquid except for one 16 ounce plastic soda bottle that we will discuss later. Never wear shoes that squeak or have print patterns. Always wear oversized shoes, undersized gloves with plastic gloves underneath, and a generic hat with a plastic lining. Carry a small plastic bag over the receiver assembly to help keep the nitrates from embedding in the sniper’s cheek. Mass Hypnotist squads sense nitrates in FDRs and GSRs and use them to track freedom seekers.

NARRATOR: He never dressed well anyway. As he is always broke he never has loose change and he disdained Velcro because it stuck to his hair. That fact alone made him the foil of a million bad jokes.

HE: Sometimes, when I walked through this in my mind, I avoided unnecessary movement and always keep the target on as flat a trajectory as possible to facilitate escape. Never more than the second or third floor.

BOOLE: You can’t escape from all the piglets, but the Mass Hypnotist can be eliminated.

NARRATOR: Sometimes he practiced remaining still for hours. This unnerved Manson when he was foraging Melaleuca pods, and Hemingway generally stayed away.

HE: That’s the khat for you.

NARRATOR: Sometimes he would skulk, and avoid stationary backgrounds, always use cracks, basements, manholes, fences, and cars if possible. As most of his training was during the day, and shadows exist under most conditions, day and night, he avoided the direct light of the sun whenever he went out to ClamBumpers or the Park.

BOOLE: Since Mass Hypnotists were almost strictly day-walkers, they, and their sunglass wearing Squealers, only travel by day, one should never stray from the darkness, and their long, dark

111. shadows.

HE: I had grown to always assume I was under observation by the day-walking piglets and the Squealers.

BOOLE: At night is was easier to blend with the trees, bushes, grass, earth, and man-made structures that form the background. Day-walkers know this. But who knows. Maybe this Mass Hypnotist would venture out at dusk, just this once ? Clothes from the Goodwill allowed his inner and outer garb vary in color and appearance, but that is how he looks anyway -- average. Except the Izod selling Goodwills in Mass Hypnotist hell.

NARRATOR: He would often stay low to observe and practice fire. A low silhouette makes it difficult for the Mass Hypnotists , piglets or Squealers to see and he always knew he had to shoot the Mass Hypnotist from the prone, or supported positions.

BOOLE: Never carry exposed optics, and use optics cautiously in bright sunshine. Because these particular Mass Hypnotists only come out during the day you must never expose the scope until firing.

Never use stainless or wood, especially hardwood, but only bluing and rubber. And remember, big cities have skylines. Part of your training involved escaping so never walk alone. You must plan, practice, and calmly find the nearest transit station out of the line of sight used to kill the Mass Hypnotist .

By combining habit with proper movement techniques, the Urban Sniper can protect himself from the Mass Hypnotist’s view. To get protection from enemy fire when moving, the sniper uses routes that put cover between him and the Mass Hypnotist .

THE ORB (weepy): That wasn't necessary. You could get someone innocent killed, or worse.

HE: None of them are innocent.

THE ORB: No one, are you sure ?

112.

HE (curtly retorts): What do you think we should have done ?

THE ORB: Gone fishing.

WRITTEN ON SCREEN: “On this third planet of the sun among the signs of bestiality a clear conscience is Number One.” - Polish Nobel Prize Winner in Literature Wislaw Szymbors

THE ORB: Boy, did she ever have it right.

BOOLE: In physics, Compton scattering, or the Compton effect, is the decrease in energy (increase in wavelength) of an X-ray or gamma ray photon, when it interacts with matter. Inverse Compton scattering also exists, where the photon gains energy (decreasing in wavelength) upon interaction with matter. The amount the wavelength increases by is called the Compton shift. Although nuclear Compton scattering exists, Compton scattering usually refers to the interaction involving only the electrons of an atom. Compton effect was observed by Arthur Holly Compton in 1923 and further verified by his graduate student Y. H. Woo in the years followed. Arthur Compton earned the 1927 Nobel Prize in Physics for the discovery.

The effect is important because it demonstrates that light cannot be explained purely as a wave phenomenon. Thomson scattering, the classical theory of charged particles scattered by an electromagnetic wave, cannot explain any shift in wavelength. Light must behave as if it consists of particles in order to explain the Compton scattering. Compton's experiment convinced physicists that light can behave as a stream of particles whose energy is proportional to the frequency.

The interaction between high energy photons and electrons results in the electron being given part of the energy (making it recoil), and a photon containing the remaining energy being emitted in a different direction from the original, so that the overall momentum of the system is conserved. If the photon still has enough energy left, the process may be repeated.

113.

Compton scattering occurs in all materials and predominantly with photons of medium energy -- i.e., about 0.5 to 3.5 MeV. It is also observed that high-energy photons; photons of visible light or higher frequency, for example, have sufficient energy to even eject the bound electrons from the atom (Photoelectric effect).

The Big Bang theory of the universe is wrong because the cosmological redshift is caused by the Compton effect rather than the Doppler effect. Read The Endless, Boundless, Stable Universe and A Timeless, Boundless Equilibrium Universe by Grote Reber and Hubble's Constant in Terms of the Compton Effect by John Kierein.

Reber showed that the Compton effect was the cause of the redshift in order to explain the observations of bright very long wavelength extragalactic radio waves. Kierein used the Compton effect explanation to explain quasars and the redshift on the sun.

Quasars may be much closer than their redshift would indicate if they have an "intrinsic" redshift due to being surrounded by a 'fuzzy' atmosphere containing free electrons and other material. This concentration of electrons produces the unusual redshift as the light travels through it and loses energy to these electrons per the Compton effect. If quasars are nearby, they may even exhibit proper motion in the sky as the Earth travels around the sun. Such a proper motion has been seen. See Quasar Absolute Proper Motion for a table that includes such proper motion observations.

Some quasars may be double stars, with one member being an ordinary star and the other exhibiting a large redshift and being labeled as a quasar. The 100,000th Hubble image is a good candidate for such a pair. Ken Kellerman of the National Radio Astronomy Observatory has also suggested that the redshift of quasars may be intrinsic and not an indication of their distance in a classic 1972 paper Radio Galaxies, Quasars and Cosmology published in the Astronomical Journal.

The redshift on the sun is obviously not Doppler since the sun is not moving away from us. This shift shows a variation in magnitude that correlates with the number of electrons along the line of sight. It is smallest at the solar center and greatest at the limb where we are looking through the thickest part of the

114. sun's atmosphere. John Kierein and Brooks Sharp showed this correlation as a Compton effect interpretation in the journal "Solar Physics" in March of 1968.

Compton himself believed this was the cause of the solar redshift (see Compton, A. H., 1923 Phil. Mag. 46, 897). The electrons on the sun are concentrated in altitude by gravity with the greatest density near the sun's surface (the photosphere) to produce the sun's intrinsic redshift. Similarly, the quasar redshift (And other bright, hot young stars' "K effect" intrinsic redshift - see Halton Arp's book.) have an intrinsic Compton effect redshift concentrated at or very near the object's surface.

In addition to this redshift on the sun, which is there all the time and is on the order of 1 part in a million, there has been measured a gamma ray redshift that occurred only during a large solar flare. This solar flare redshift was nearly 1 percent or one part in a hundred. It was measured by the RHESSI satellite. The redshift varied by the element, the heavier element having a bigger redshift. I believe this redshift is also due to the Compton effect and is caused by the gamma rays ionizing the elements and releasing electrons from these element "targets". The heavier elements have greater numbers of electrons to release and consequently have multiple Compton collisions and greater redshifts.

For the Compton effect to cause the cosmological redshift, intergalactic space must have a density of free electrons and/or positrons. The further light travels through this transparent medium, the greater the redshift - and Hubble's law follows. The existence of electrons and positrons in intergalactic space has been shown by observations of electron-positron annihilation gamma rays coming from above our galactic plane. This is the direction our galaxy is plowing into the intergalactic medium. (See "Peculiar Velocity of the Sun and its Relation to the Cosmic Microwave Background" by J.M. Stewart & D.W.Sciama, Nature vol. 216,p 748f, Nov. 25, 1967.) This is observed from the, appropriately named, Compton Gamma Ray Observatory in orbit above the Earth's atmosphere.

Indeed, while intergalactic space was once thought to be empty, now we know it is filled with clouds of high-velocity gas that contain molecular hydrogen. This molecular hydrogen is thought to

115. come from the condensation of hydrogen atoms that are just free electrons and protons. When light hits these free electrons, it produces the Compton effect redshift.

If the Compton effect causes the redshift, the universe is not expanding, but rather is "static". Max Born, and others did an analysis of the background temperature of such a universe and found that it doesn't differ greatly from the observed three degree kelvin background.

Grote Reber predicted that this interpretation of the redshift would result in a dispersion in the arrival times of extragalactic signals. The recent pinpointing of the extragalactic Nature of gamma ray bursts and the delay in arrival times of longer wavelength radiation from these events confirms this prediction as shown in Dark Matter by John Kierein. This time lag for longer wavelengths is shown by Dr. Jay Norris to provide a method of measuring distance to the gamma ray source.

Some say that the Compton effect should cause the light to be scattered and distance sources blurred. Does scattering cause blurring ? Not necessarily.

When the Milky Way stars are at the edge of the Barnard 68, dust clouds are not at all blurred even though they are dimmed to extinction as their photons are absorbed and scattered.

Also note how, when this same object is viewed in the Infrared, the background stars shine right through this cloud without blurring.

Dark matter causes light to bend without blurring.

BOOLE: The redshift controversy has been raging ever since Hubble's and Humason's original papers (Hubble & Humason 1931, Humason 1931) carried the footnote: "It is not at all certain that the large redshifts in the spectra are to be interpreted as a Doppler effect, but for convenience they are expressed in terms of velocity and referred to as apparent velocities." Hubble felt that the data was in better agreement with light having a loss of

116. energy to the intervening medium proportional to the distance it travels through space by what he called "a new principle of Nature" (Hubble 1937). This was because if it were Doppler the light should appear to be less bright (due to a decrease in photon flux) than if it were a loss of energy. Such a brightness correction did not fit the direct proportionality to distance data.

The Compton effect occurs when light interacts with matter. The photon bounces off the matter and transfers some of its energy and momentum to the particle. In this process, the photon wavelength increases. The increase in wavelength is inversely proportional to the mass of the particle. The Compton effect wavelength change is most often observed when the photon bounces off an electron since the electron is the least massive stable particle. It is observed best when the photon is of high energy since the wavelength change per interaction is the greatest energy change.

When the particle is already a free electron, the Compton effect is the only process that occurs for the interaction except for pair production. Pair production normally only occurs for high energy photons of gamma ray wavelengths and shorter, so the Compton effect is the only process that occurs for photons of longer wavelength. The change in wavelength per interaction is very small so it usually takes multiple collisions or the photon for an appreciable measurable effect to be observable for very long wavelength photons. Yet, multiple Compton collisions for a photon traveling long distances through a highly ionized gas will produce a significant redshift.

Several authors have now suggested that the Compton effect is this new principle that Hubble was looking for, for the solar, quasar and cosmological redshifts (Compton 1923, Sistero 1966, Kierein & Sharp 1968, Maric et al 1977, Reber 1977). For the quasar case being a star surrounded by a large electron cloud, this would produce an intrinsic quasar redshift (Burbidge & Burbidge 1969), allowing quasars to be local and obviating the need to explain their brightness and apparent superluminal velocities (Marscher & Scott 1980, Pearson et al 1981).

The Compton effect explains the redshift on the sun being greater at the limb than at the center because the number of electrons along the line of sight through the solar atmosphere is greater at

117. the limb. Kierein & Sharp (1968) showed that the redshift agreed quantitatively with the increase in this number.

Compton (1923) had predicted this qualitatively earlier for the solar case when he extrapolated the Compton effect to visible wavelengths.

This idea has met with the objection that the Compton effect interpretation should produce blurred objects and spectral line broadening. This is despite the well-known experience that light will interact with a transparent medium, being slowed according to the index of refraction, without blurring or line broadening. Reber's solution to this objection was a random walk analysis that showed that the photon remained within the observed blur circle (Reber 1968, 1977).

Edwin Hubble did most of his professional astronomical observing work at Mount Wilson observatory, at the time the world's most powerful telescope. His observations of Cepheid variable stars in spiral nebulae enabled him to calculate the distances to these objects. Surprisingly these objects were discovered to be at distances which placed them well outside the Milky Way. The nebulae were first described as "island universes" and it was only later that the moniker "galaxy" would be applied to them. Combining his measurements of galaxy distances with Vesto Slipher's measurements of the redshifts associated with the galaxies, Hubble discovered a rough proportionality of the objects' distances with their redshifts.

Though there was considerable scatter (now known to be due to peculiar velocities), Hubble was able to plot a trend line from the 46 galaxies he studied and obtained a value for the Hubble constant of 500 km/s/Mpc, which is much higher than the currently accepted value due to errors in his distance calibrations. Such errors in determining distance continue to plague modern astronomers. (See the article on cosmic distance ladder for more details.)

After Hubble's discovery was published, Albert Einstein abandoned his work on the cosmological constant which he had designed to allow for a static solution to his equations. He would later term this work his "greatest blunder" since the belief in a static universe was what prevented him from predicting the expanding

118. universe. Einstein would make a famous trip to Mount Wilson in 1931 to thank Hubble for providing the observational basis for modern cosmology.

However, inconsistencies regarding the current interpretation of observed redshift present many problems to BBT. Many of those have to do with the distant massive bodies that are called quasars.

As presently utilized, redshift data results in the perception of extremely great masses and brilliances of quasars. Variations in the level of radiation from these sources(27,42) require their size to be extremely small and their densities to be extremely great. These extreme characteristics suggest that the present interpretation of redshift data as Doppler shift doesn't tell the whole story about the speed and distance of remote massive bodies in space.

Redshift data as presently used also shows quasars to be "clumped" at great distances (great relative velocities).

According to BBT that would require the formation of large numbers of quasars too soon after the BB. That interpretation of redshift data also results in the anomaly of quasars at various distances, and thus of various ages, that are observed to have similar electromagnetic spectrums.

But perhaps even in greater conflict with BBT, the clumping of distant quasars in all directions would appear to put us at the center of the universe. That situation, known as the Copernican Problem, is in direct conflict with the basic BBT tenet of smoothness; that is, isotropy and homogeneity.

Dependence on Doppler redshift for the determination of velocity and distance also results in the perception of an unreasonably large number of distant quasars having associated superluminal flares.(32,43) Some simple mathematics can show that, if the perceived distance of those quasars was less, fewer of such flares would be indicated.

(Also, mathematical investigation of the velocity relationships between quasars perceived to be at great distances and their perceived superluminal flares, has provided unintelligible results.)

119.

BB theorists accept special relativity, and thus the application of the Lorentz transformations to the redshift of radiation from galaxies and quasars that are believed to be at great distances and receding from us at "relativistic" speeds. Those speeds are thus believed to result in redshifts that are greater than would be expected by the linear application of a Hubble constant.

That would appear to be reasonable for a universe consisting of matter that is expanding as the normal result of an explosion. However, because BB theorists insist that it is not the matter of the universe, but the space of the universe that is expanding, I have suggested an additional problem: Although the Lorentz transformations may apply to matter, they do not apply to massless space. It is therefore inappropriate to apply them to a BB universe.

In addition to quasar related problems, there is considerable observational evidence indicating that the presently accepted interpretation of redshift data is to some degree erroneous. Observations over many years by highly regarded astronomers have shown many "companion galaxies" to have considerably higher redshifts than those of unmistakably neighboring galaxies. Most notable among those astronomers is Halton Arp, who has also provided considerable evidence that radiation from newly formed galaxies is in some manner redshifted by other than Doppler effect.

There are a number of highly regarded scientists, including Dr. Grote Reber of the University of Tasmania, and Dr. Paul Marmet of the Herzberg Institute of Astrophysics in Ottawa, who support "tired light" or Compton scattering concepts. They postulate that, as radiation travels through intergalactic space, it looses energy and its wavelength is increased, perhaps adding to the Doppler shift that is the result of relative speed.

However, some of those scientists believe that all redshift is due to causes other than expansion, in other words, that the universe is static.

Although it has long ago been ruled out by BB cosmologists as an important factor, massive dense bodies, that may not be massive enough and dense enough to become black holes, may be massive

120. enough and dense enough to cause appreciable amounts of gravitational redshift (Einstein shift)(24,49) of their radiation.

In support of this it is known, for example, that even our sun has a small gravitational redshift (z Å 0.000002); and it is suggested that the differences in masses and radii of stars of some binary pairs(50) may be the cause of observed differences in their average redshift.

Any of these possible causes of redshift may add to Doppler redshift (if that exists) and thus cause the appearance of greater relative speed and distance of quasars and other massive bodies in space. If that should prove to be so, problems regarding the interpretation of redshift data might be eased or eliminated.

It seems obvious that, if other causes of the redshift of radiation from massive bodies were given consideration, problems resulting from the conventional interpretation of redshift might be eased. Quasars might be found to be much closer and their velocity much lower, thus solving the perception of excessive brilliance, mass, density, large numbers of superluminal flares and other problems, including the clumping of quasars at great distances.

If redshift were found to have causes other than or in addition to Doppler effects, the velocity of distant quasars would fall on a lower, more linear portion of a plot of velocity versus redshift that incorporates relativistic effects [as derived from the Einstein- Lorentz transformations]. The perception of clumping would thus be reduced.

It should be pointed out that Hubble himself was not convinced that redshift was exclusively from to Doppler effect. Up to the time of his death, he maintained that velocities inferred from redshift measurements should be referred to as apparent velocities.

BOOLE: Mandelbrot has been called a visionary. His informal and passionate style of writing and his emphasis on visual and geometric intuition (supported by the inclusion of numerous illustrations) made The Fractal Geometry of Nature accessible to non-specialists. It sparked a widespread popular interest in fractals as well as contributing to chaos theory and other fields of science and mathematics.

The mathematics behind fractals began to take shape in the 17th century when philosopher Leibniz considered recursive self- similarity (although he made the mistake of thinking that only the straight line was self-similar in this sense).

It took until 1872 before a function appeared whose graph would today be considered fractal when Karl Weierstrass gave an example of a function with the non-intuitive property of being everywhere continuous but nowhere differentiable.

In 1904, Helge von Koch, dissatisfied with Weierstrass's very abstract and analytic definition, gave a more geometric definition of a similar function, which is now called the Koch snowflake.

In 1915, Waclaw Sierpinski constructed his triangle and, one year later, his carpet. Originally these geometric fractals were described as curves rather than the 2D shapes that they are known as in their modern constructions.

The idea of self-similar curves was taken further by Paul Pierre Lévy, who, in his 1938 paper Plane or Space Curves and Surfaces Consisting of Parts Similar to the Whole, described a new fractal curve, the Lévy C curve. Georg Cantor also gave examples of subsets of the real line with unusual properties—these Cantor sets are also now recognized as fractals.

122.

Iterated functions in the complex plane were investigated in the late 19th and early 20th centuries by Henri Poincaré, Felix Klein, Pierre Fatou and Gaston Julia. However, without the aid of modern computer graphics, they lacked the means to visualize the beauty of many of the objects that they had discovered.

In the 1960s, Benoît Mandelbrot started investigating self- similarity in papers such as How Long Is the Coast of Britain ? Statistical Self-Similarity and Fractional Dimension, which built on earlier work by Lewis Fry Richardson.

Mandelbrot also put his ideas to work in cosmology and offered in 1974 a different resolution to the dark night sky riddle, demonstrating the consequences of fractal theory as a sufficient, but not necessary, resolution of the paradox. He postulated that if the stars in the universe were fractally distributed (e.g. like a Cantor dust), it would not be necessary to rely on the Big Bang theory to explain Olbers' Paradox. His model would not rule out a Big Bang but would allow for a dark sky even if the Big Bang had not occurred.

In 1975 Mandelbrot coined the term fractal to describe these structures, and published his ideas in “Les objets fractals, forme, hasard et dimension” (translated into English as Fractals: Form, chance and dimension in 1977.)

In 1979, while on secondments as Visiting Professor of Mathematics at Harvard University, Mandelbrot began to study fractals called Julia sets that were invariant under certain transformations of the complex plane. Building on previous work by Gaston Julia and Pierre Fatou, Mandelbrot used a computer to plot images of the Julia sets of the formula z2 - µ. While investigating how the topology of these Julia sets depended on the complex parameter µ he studied the Mandelbrot set fractal that is now named after him (note that the Mandelbrot set is now usually defined in terms of the formula z2 + c, so Mandelbrot's early plots in terms of the earlier parameter µ are left-right mirror images of more recent plots in terms of the parameter c) .

In 1982, Mandelbrot expanded and updated his ideas in The Fractal Geometry of Nature. This influential work brought fractals into the mainstream of both professional and popular mathematics. On his retirement from IBM in 1987, Mandelbrot joined the Yale

123.

Department of Mathematics. At the time of his retirement in 2005, he was Sterling Professor of Mathematical Sciences. His awards include the Wolf Prize for Physics in 1993, the Lewis Fry Richardson prize of the European Geophysical Society in 2000, the Japan Prize in 2003, and the Einstein Lectureship of the American Mathematical Society in 2006. The small planet 27500 Mandelbrot was named in his honour.

In December 2005, Mandelbrot was appointed to the position of Battelle Fellow at the Pacific Northwest National Laboratory. On November 23, 1990, he was made a knight in the French Legion of honour and promoted to officer on January 1, 2006.

Although Mandelbrot coined the term fractal, some objects featured in The Fractal Geometry of Nature had been previously described by other mathematicians. However; they had been regarded as isolated curiosities with unnatural and non-intuitive properties.

Mandelbrot brought these objects together for the first time and turned them around into essential tools for the long-stalled effort of extending the scope of science to non-smooth parts of the real world. He highlighted their common properties, such as self-similarity (linear, non-linear, or statistical), scale invariance and (usually) non-integer Hausdorff dimension.

He also emphasized the use of fractals as realistic and useful models of many phenomena in the real world that can be viewed as rough. Natural fractals include the shapes of mountains, coastlines and river basins; the structure of plants, blood vessels and lungs; the clustering of galaxies; Brownian motion. Man-made fractals include stock market prices but also music, painting, and architecture. Far from being unnatural, Mandelbrot held the view that fractals were, in many ways, more intuitive and natural than the artificially smooth objects of traditional Euclidean geometry.

Three common techniques for generating fractals are:

1) Escape-time fractals — These are defined by a recurrence relation at each point in a space (such as the complex plane). Examples of this type are the Mandelbrot set, Julia set, the Burning Ship fractal and the Lyapunov fractal. 2) Iterated function systems — These have a fixed geometric

124. replacement rule. Cantor set, Sierpinski carpet, Sierpinski gasket, Peano curve, Koch snowflake, Harter-Heighway dragon curve, T-Square, Menger sponge, are some examples of such fractals. 3) Random fractals — Generated by stochastic rather than deterministic processes, for example, trajectories of the Brownian motion, Lévy flight, fractal landscapes and the Brownian tree. The latter yields so-called mass- or dendritic fractals, for example, diffusion-limited aggregation or reaction-limited aggregation clusters.

The former 20% (public sector -- including police, military, teachers, and fire departments) gets the highest pay; and everything from health care to fat pensions, for doing basically nothing but bleeding, harassing, and oppressing the private sector; while the latter 80% pays for it with their life’s blood, sweat, and tears.” - HE

BOOLE: Huey Pierce Long, Jr. (August 30, 1893 - September 10, 1935), nicknamed The Kingfish, served as the Governor of Louisiana from 1928 to 1932 and as a U.S. Senator from 1932 to 1935. A Democrat, he was noted for his radical populist policies. Though a backer of Franklin D. Roosevelt in the 1932 presidential election, Long split with Roosevelt in June 1933 and allegedly planned to mount his own presidential bid.

Long created the Share Our Wealth program in 1934, with the motto "Every Man a King," proposing new wealth redistribution measures in the form of a net asset tax on corporations and individuals to curb the poverty and crime resulting from the Great Depression. To stimulate the economy, Long advocated federal spending on public works, public education, old-age pensions and other social programs. He was an ardent critic of the Federal Reserve System's policies to reduce lending. Charismatic and immensely popular for his social reform programs and willingness to take forceful action, Long was accused by his opponents of dictatorial tendencies for his near-total control of the state government.

125.

At the height of his popularity, Long was shot on September 8, 1935, at the Louisiana State Capitol in Baton Rouge. He died two days later at the age of 42.

In July 1935, two months prior to his death, Long claimed that he had uncovered a plot to assassinate him, which had been discussed in a meeting at New Orleans's DeSoto Hotel.

According to Long, four U.S. Representatives, Mayor Walmsley, and former governors Parker and Sanders had been present. Long read what he claimed was a transcript of a recording of this meeting on the floor of the Senate.

Long called for a special session of the Louisiana Legislature to begin in September 1935, and he traveled from Washington to Baton Rouge to oversee its progress. The accounts of the September 8, 1935 murder differ, with many believing that Long was shot once or twice by medical doctor Carl Austin Weiss in the Capitol building at Baton Rouge.

Weiss was immediately shot sixty-one times by Long's bodyguards and police on the scene. The 28-year-old Dr. Weiss was the son-in- law of Judge Benjamin Henry Pavy. According to Mrs. Ida Catherine Pavy Boudreaux of Opelousas, Pavy's only surviving child, her father had been gerrymandered out of his Sixteenth Judicial District because of his opposition to Long.

Shortly after being shot, the expiring Long reportedly said, "I wonder why he shot me ?" Long died two days later of internal bleeding, following Dr. Arthur Vidrine's attempt to close the wounds.

An entourage arrived to wait out the last minutes of Long's life. Among those mourners was his staunch Caddo Parish ally Earl Williamson, who remained steadfast with the Longs through the turbulent era of his brother-successor, Earl Long. As times passed though, even allies like Earl Williamson began to exercise independent judgment.

Conspiracy theorists believe that Weiss was unarmed and had punched Long in the mouth (he had a swollen lip at the hospital), not shot him.

126.

Instead, they say, Senator Long was struck by a stray bullet from his bodyguards, who shot Weiss because they mistakenly believed that Weiss was going to shoot Long.

His last words were reportedly, "God, don't let me die. I have so much left to do.”

BOOLE: In Nature, it is a fractal that models the surface of a mountain. Approximate fractals are easily found in Nature. These objects display self-similar structure over an extended, but finite, scale range. Examples include clouds, snowflakes, mountains, lightning, river networks, cauliflower or broccoli, and systems of blood vessels and pulmonary vessels.

Trees and ferns are fractal in Nature and can be modeled on a computer by using a recursive algorithm. This recursive Nature is obvious in these examples — a branch from a tree or a frond from a fern is a miniature replica of the whole: not identical, but similar in Nature.

Fractal patterns have also been found in the paintings of American artist Jackson Pollock. While Pollock's paintings appear to be composed of chaotic dripping and splattering, computer analysis has found fractal patterns in his work.

A fractal can be formed when pulling apart two glue-covered acrylic sheets.

Fractal branching occurs in a fractured surface such as a microwave-irradiated DVD.

Broccoli shows very fine natural fractals.

So too does a DLA cluster grown from a copper sulfate solution in an electrodeposition cell.

BOOLE: Fractals can also be classified according to their self- similarity.

There are three types of self-similarity found in fractals:

1) Exact self-similarity — This is the strongest type of self- similarity; the fractal appears identical at different scales. Fractals defined by iterated function systems often display exact self-similarity. 2) Quasi-self-similarity — This is a loose form of self- similarity; the fractal appears approximately (but not exactly) identical at different scales. Quasi-self-similar fractals contain small copies of the entire fractal in distorted and degenerate forms. Fractals defined by recurrence relations are usually quasi- self-similar but not exactly self-similar. 3) Statistical self-similarity — This is the weakest type of self- similarity; the fractal has numerical or statistical measures which are preserved across scales. Most reasonable definitions of "fractal" trivially imply some form of statistical self- similarity. (Fractal dimension itself is a numerical measure which is preserved across scales.) Random fractals are examples of fractals which are statistically self-similar, but neither exactly nor quasi-self-similar.

BOOLE: Including the zero dimension there are five dimensions: 0 - 4.

The zero, first, second, and third dimensions have long been accepted as true, but the reality of the fourth dimension was questioned.

Again, since Einstein, the existence of the fourth dimension is now an accepted fact and the first, second, and third dimensions are now understood as imaginary. We live only in the fourth dimension, but in order to understand our dimension, our reality, we must also understand each of the other dimensions. Moreover, we must realize how infinity permeates each dimension, including the

128. fourth.

The fourth dimension, space-time continuum, is reality. In the fourth dimension, the infinite number of solids in the Universe are in relationship with each other through time and energy.

In the Time domain, the fourth dimension continues the movement of the third dimension (Past) to form a wave, constituting fractally the space-time continuum.

The fourth dimension can be portrayed geometrically by fractals. The Hypercube is the symbol used in mathematics to try and represent the fourth dimension in two dimensions (a drawing on a piece of paper - a plane).

The infinity in the fourth dimension lies in the infinity of relations. This can be expressed in terms of "fractal scaling", from the infinitely small to the infinitely big, perpendicular to the other dimensions and including the intervals or fractal dimensions between them.

For now, it is sufficient to understand the meaning of fractal scaling this as scales of magnitude, as for instance from the size of the atom to the size of a galaxy. The Hypercube is cut by 4 diagonals constituting the central point. In consciousness, this center point represents the identity or the Self. The number of the diagonals is 4 X 3 = 9, according to the Pythagorean theorem. The four diagonals are 1-5, 2-6, 3-7 and 4-0.

The Four Diagonals: 1-5 Matter 2-6 Consciousness 3-7 Energy 4-0 Self-Organization

The fourth dimension is the home of the Complex numbers and Fractal geometry. Unlike the other dimensions, the fourth is the real world in which we live. It is the space-time continuum of Man and Nature where there is constant change based on feedback. As Mandelbrot recently discovered the fourth dimension includes not only the first three dimensions but also the gaps or intervals between them, the fractal dimensions.

129.

Dimension 4 is composed of the nine numerals, basic to all information, uniting geometry and arithmetic, space and time. Their reciprocal relation is clarified through the circle of 5 dimensions, based on the relation of infinity to one. The circle of dimensions summarizes the laws of number and mathematics. The eight points shown on the dimension circle (0 - 7) correspond to the eight directions on the outside of the Wheel, an important Wisdom of the Native Americans.

BOOLE: The assassination of Robert F. Kennedy, a United States Senator and brother of assassinated President John F. Kennedy, took place shortly after midnight on June 5, 1968, in Los Angeles, California. Robert F. Kennedy was killed during celebrations of his successful campaign in the Californian primary elections while seeking the Democratic nomination for President of the United States. The perpetrator was a twenty-four-year-old Palestinian immigrant named Sirhan Sirhan, who remains incarcerated for this crime as of 2011. The shooting was recorded on audio tape by a freelance newspaper reporter, while the aftermath was captured on film.

Four hours after the polls closed in California, Kennedy claimed victory in the state's Democratic presidential primary. At approximately 12:15 a.m. PDT, he addressed his campaign supporters in the Ambassador Hotel's Embassy Room ballroom, in the mid- Wilshire district of Los Angeles.

At the time, the government provided Secret Service protection for incumbent presidents but not for presidential candidates. Kennedy's only security was provided by former FBI agent William Barry and two unofficial bodyguards, former professional athletes. During the campaign, Kennedy had welcomed contact with the public, and people had often tried to touch him in their excitement.

Kennedy had planned to walk through the ballroom when he had finished speaking, on his way to another gathering of supporters elsewhere in the hotel.

However, with deadlines fast approaching, reporters wanted a press

130. conference. Campaign aide Fred Dutton decided that Kennedy would forgo the second gathering and instead go through the kitchen and pantry area behind the ballroom to the press area. Kennedy finished speaking and started to exit when William Barry stopped him and said, "No, it's been changed. We're going this way."

Barry and Dutton began clearing a way for Kennedy to go left through swinging doors to the kitchen corridor, but Kennedy, hemmed in by the crowd, followed hotel maître d' Karl Uecker through a back exit.

Uecker led Kennedy through the kitchen area, holding Kennedy's right wrist but frequently releasing it as Kennedy shook hands with those he encountered. Uecker and Kennedy started down a passageway narrowed by an ice machine against the right wall and a steam table to the left.

Kennedy turned to his left and shook hands with busboy Juan Romero as Sirhan Sirhan stepped down from a low tray-stacker beside the ice machine, rushed past Uecker, and repeatedly fired what was later identified as a .22 caliber Iver-Johnson Cadet revolver.

After Kennedy had fallen to the floor, security man Bill Barry hit Sirhan twice in the face while others, including maître d's Uecker and Edward Minasian, writer George Plimpton, Olympic gold medal decathlete Rafer Johnson and professional football player Rosey Grier, forced Sirhan against the steam table and disarmed him.

Sirhan wrestled free and grabbed the revolver again, but he had already fired all the bullets. Barry went to Kennedy and lay his jacket under the candidate's head, later recalling: "I knew immediately it was a .22, a small caliber, so I hoped it wouldn't be so bad, but then I saw the hole in the Senator's head, and I knew".

Reporters and photographers rushed into the area from both directions, contributing to the chaos. As Kennedy lay wounded, Juan Romero cradled the senator's head and placed a rosary in his hand. Kennedy asked Romero, "Is everybody safe, OK ?" and Romero responded, "Yes, yes, everything is going to be OK". Captured by Life photographer Bill Eppridge and Boris Yaro of the Los Angeles Times, this moment became the iconic image of the assassination.

131.

Ethel Kennedy stood outside the crush of people at the scene, seeking help. She was soon led to her husband and knelt beside him. He turned his head and seemed to recognize her. After several minutes, medical attendants arrived and lifted Kennedy onto a stretcher -- prompting him to speak.

RFK (exclaiming): No, no !

He lost consciousness shortly thereafter.

Kennedy was taken a mile away to Central Receiving Hospital, where he arrived near death. One doctor slapped his face, calling, "Bob, Bob", while another massaged Kennedy's heart. After obtaining a good heartbeat, doctors handed a stethoscope to Ethel Kennedy so she could hear her husband's heart beating, much to her relief.

After about 30 minutes, Kennedy was transferred several blocks to the Hospital of the Good Samaritan for surgery. Surgery began at 3:12 a.m. PDT and lasted three hours and 40 minutes.

Ten and a half hours later, at 5:30 p.m. PDT on Wednesday, spokesman Frank Mankiewicz announced that Kennedy's doctors were "concerned over his continuing failure to show improvement"; his condition remained "extremely critical as to life".

Kennedy had been shot three times. One bullet, fired at a range of about 1 inch (2.54 cm), entered behind his right ear, dispersing fragments throughout his brain. Two others entered at the rear of his right armpit; one exited from his chest and the other lodged in the back of his neck.

Despite extensive neurosurgery at the Good Samaritan Hospital to remove the bullet and bone fragments from his brain, Kennedy died at 1:44 a.m. PDT, nearly 26 hours after the shooting. Five other people were also wounded: William Weisel of ABC News, Paul Schrade of the United Auto Workers union, Democratic Party activist Elizabeth Evans, Ira Goldstein of the Continental News Service and Kennedy campaign volunteer Irwin Stroll.

Although not physically wounded, singer Rosemary Clooney, a strong Kennedy supporter, was present in the ballroom during the shooting in the pantry and suffered a nervous breakdown shortly afterward.

HE: And here we all thought that was heredity, not history. Too bad they don’t feel as strongly about Serbs.

BOOLE: Conspiracy theorists, and even some individuals involved in the original investigation and some researchers have suggested alternative scenarios for the crime, or have argued that there are serious problems with the official case.

In November 2006, the BBC's Newsnight program presented research by filmmaker Shane O'Sullivan alleging that several CIA officers were present on the night of the assassination. Three men who appear in video and photographs from the night of the assassination were positively identified by former colleagues and associates as former senior CIA officers who had worked together in 1963 at JMWAVE, the CIA's main anti-Castro station based in Miami.

HE: Miami again, figures. Did queers kill RFK to ?

BOOLE: They were JMWAVE Chief of Operations David Morales, Chief of Maritime Operations Gordon Campbell and Chief of Psychological Warfare Operations George Joannides.

The program featured an interview with Morales's former attorney Robert Walton, who quoted him as having said, "I was in Dallas when we got the son of a bitch and I was in Los Angeles when we got the little bastard".

O'Sullivan reported that the CIA declined to comment on the officers in question. It was also alleged that Morales was known for his deep anger toward the Kennedys for what he saw as their betrayal during the Bay of Pigs Invasion.

After further investigation, O'Sullivan produced the feature documentary, RFK Must Die. The film casts doubt on the earlier identifications and ultimately reveals that the man previously identified as Gordon Campbell may, in fact, have been Michael D. Roman, a now-deceased Bulova Watch Company employee, who was at the Ambassador Hotel for a company convention.

The location of Kennedy's wounds suggested that his assailant had stood behind him, but some witnesses said that Sirhan faced west

133. as Kennedy moved through the pantry facing east. This has led to the suggestion that a second gunman actually fired the fatal shot, a possibility supported by coroner Thomas Noguchi.

Other witnesses, though, said that as Sirhan approached, Kennedy was turning to his left shaking hands, facing north and so exposing his right side.

As recently as 2008, eyewitness John Pilger asserted his belief that there must have been a second gunman. During a re-examination of the case in 1975, the U.S. Supreme Court ordered expert examination of the possibility of a second gun having been used, and the conclusion of the experts was that there was little or no evidence to support this theory.

In 2007, analysis of an audio recording of the shooting made by freelance reporter Stanislaw Pruszynski appeared to indicate, according to forensic expert Philip van Praag, that thirteen shots were fired, even though Sirhan's gun held only eight rounds.

While this would strongly indicate a second gunman, independent analysis by other experts indicated that there are only eight shots recorded on the tape.

BOOLE: The zero dimension is the POINT, the infinitely small placeholder. It exists not in space, but in time only. It is the moment between past and future, the subject, zero. It constitutes potentiality, the four space dimensions constitute actuality. The zero dimension is the home of Natural Numbers. The subject point, the moment, is zero, pure Awareness. Its numbers are the natural numerals.

The nine natural numbers are the basis of quality and invariance. All numbers can be reduced to the nine: for example by addition: 365 = 14 = 5.

Becoming aware therefore means deducing or abstracting to the nine fundamental criteria. In the Jewish Cabala this is the nine names of the divine, in Chinese, it is the nine forms of the Tao.

NARRATOR: Realistically, he would tell you that he is not a "conspiracy theorist" as some of his former "friends" and "colleagues" were. However, that gave him an advantage with respect to visceral blocks to purely rational thinking about the death of JFK.

He came to believe there was a crack that neither Lane, nor Groden and Livingstone, nor Maars et al, had seen in the plot. They had gone after everyone or everything with respect to the death except for the WEAPON and AMMO. They believed in the fallibility of shooter not the weapon.

The only mention of the Mannlicher-Carcano 6.5mm is that Oswald couldn't reset the bolt two times in less than seven seconds, or the sight was bad, or there couldn't be a magic bullet from THAT gun. What if you were told that a gas-operated, semiautomatic rifle was available that fired approximately 5.56mm, never jammed, was light, and may have been the most lethal small arms weapon made to that time in history ? A weapon capable of causing the head wound that killed JFK from 500 yards with no scope. A weapon capable of causing a magic bullet that we know could not have come from the Mannlicher-Carcano 6.5mm.

That's right, before November 1963. No hunters, no screaming queens, and no old, imported rifles with rough action and a poor sight picture. A rifle that was strictly CIA and military issue.

Still interested ?

Based on the following excerpts from an article in the Atlantic Monthly [June 1981] this information surfaced helping support his new premise:

"Nearly a century before American troops were ordered into Vietnam, weapon designers had made a discovery in the science of wound ballistics.”

135.

"The discovery was that a small, fast traveling bullet often did a great deal more damage than a larger round when fired into human or (for the experiments) animal flesh. A large artillery round might pass straight through a human body, but a small round could act like a gorge... "

"It was about 1957, the time the M-14 was adopted as the Army's standard that Eugene Stoner (the inventor of the M-16) was completing his work on its predecessor, the AR-15. Stoner was known as one of the great figures in the special calling of small arms design, much like Kalashnikov..."

"The AR-15 rifle combined several advantages. The most important being the lethal 'payoff' that came with its .22 caliber (approximately 5.56mm) bullets. The smaller, lighter ammunition meant that the rifle could be controlled on automatic fire by the average soldier because it was much lighter and its kick was so much less than the M-14's..."

"In 1958, following favorable AR-15 tests at three military bases, one interesting conclusion was reached: A squad consisting from men armed with the AR-15 would have better hit distribution and greater hit capability than the present 11 man M-14 squad..."

"Through 1962 and 1963 there followed a series of tests, evaluations, and counter evaluations by the American military. The repeated theme was the lightness, 'lethality' and reliability of the AR-15. The results of one test, conducted by the Defense Department's Advanced Research Projects Agency, were summed up in September on the AR-15 in 1962 by the Comptroller of the department: Taking into account the greater lethality of the AR-15 rifle and improvements in accuracy and rate of fire in the weapon since 1959, in overall squad kill potential the AR-15 is up to five times as effective as the M14 rifle..."

"Early in 1963 with strong support from President Kennedy and Secretary of Defense Robert McNamara, the Special Forces (known at that time only as the Green Berets) asked for and got approval to use the AR-15 as their standard issue, because they needed lightweight gear for mobility and the Army's airborne units in Vietnam also got it, as did some agents in the CIA..."

BOOLE: Many important community and labor organizers came from the so-called "Alinsky School."

Alinsky formed the Industrial Areas Foundation in 1940. Ed Chambers became its Executive Director after Alinsky died. Since its formation, hundreds of professional community and labor organizers and thousands of community and labor leaders have attended its workshops. Fred Ross, who worked for Alinsky, was the principal mentor for radical Mexicans, including Cesar Chavez and Dolores Huerta.

Mass Hypnotists note that Alinsky's personal efforts were a large part of their methods. And that although they agreed with his notion of self-empowerment some disagreed with his assessment that the system could only change from the outside. They would infect the core.

Alinsky's teachings influenced many modern Mass Hypnotists in their early career as community organizers -- who not only learned but taught Alinsky's methods for other community organizing.

Alinsky is often credited with laying the foundation for the grassroots political organizing that dominated the 1960s.

Later in his life, he encouraged stockholders in public corporations to lend their votes to "proxies", who would vote at annual stockholders meetings in favor of social justice.

While his grassroots style took hold in American activism, his call to stockholders to share their power with disenfranchised working poor only began to take hold in U.S. progressive Red Terror (war-communist, social liberalism) circles in the 1990s, when shareholder actions were organized against American corporations actions.

Since then, the real goal for the Mass Hypnotists was now to take over the major corporations.

BOOLE: The Sturmabteilung, abbreviated SA, (German for "Assault detachment" or "Assault section", usually translated as "stormtroop(er)s"), functioned as a paramilitary organization of the NSDAP – the German Nazi party. They played a key role in Adolf Hitler's rise to power in the 1930s.

SA men were often called "brownshirts", for the colour of their uniforms, and to distinguish them from the Schutzstaffel (SS), who wore black and brown uniforms (compare the Italian blackshirts). Brown-coloured shirts were chosen as the SA uniform because a large batch of them was cheaply available after World War I, having originally been ordered for German troops serving in Africa.

The SA was also the first Nazi paramilitary group to develop pseudo-military titles for bestowal upon its members. The SA ranks would be adopted by several other Nazi Party groups, chief among them the SS. They were very important to Hitler's rise to power until they were superseded by the SS after the Night of the Long Knives.

In Munich in late 1920, Hitler created the Ordnertruppen, a body of ex-soldiers and beer hall brawlers in order to protect gatherings of the Nazi party from disruptions from Social Democrats and Communists.

On November 4, 1921, the Nazi party held a large public meeting in the Munich Hofbräuhaus. After Hitler had spoken for some time the meeting erupted into a melee in which a small company of Ordnertruppen distinguished itself by thrashing the opposition. The Nazis called this event "Saalschlacht" (meeting hall battle). After this, the organization came to be called the SA. Under their popular leader, Stabschef Ernst Röhm, the SA grew in importance within the Nazi power structure, initially growing in size to thousands of members.

In 1922, the Nazi Party created a youth section, the Jugendbund, for young men between the ages of 14 and 18 years. Its successor, the Hitler Youth, remained under SA command until May 1932.

138.

From April 1924 until late February 1925 the SA was known as the Frontbann to avoid the temporary ban on the Nazi party. The SA carried out numerous acts of violence against socialist groups throughout the 1920s, typically in minor street-fights called Zusammenstöße ('collisions').

As the Nazis went from an extremist political party in the turbulent times of 1920's Germany to the unquestioned government of the nation, the SA was no longer needed for its original purpose. An organization that could inflict more subtle terror and obedience was needed and the thuggish SA who had been born out of street violence was simply not capable of doing so. The younger SS was more suited to this task and began to take over the previously held roles of the SA.

The SA was organized throughout Germany into several large formations known as Gruppen. Within each Gruppe, there existed subordinate Brigaden and in turn existed regiment sized Standarten. SA-Standarten operated out of every major German city and were split into even smaller units, known as Sturmbanne and Stürme.

The command nexus for the entire SA operated out of Stuttgart and was known as the Oberste SA-Führung. The SA supreme command had many sub-offices to handle supply, finance, and recruiting. Unlike the SS, however, the SA did not have a medical corps nor did it establish itself outside of Germany, in occupied territories, once World War II began.

The SA also had several military training units, the largest of which was the SA-Marine which served as an auxiliary to the Kriegsmarine and performed search and rescue operations as well as harbor defense.

Similar to the Waffen-SS wing of the SS, the SA also had an armed military wing, known as Feldherrnhalle. These formations expanded from regimental size in 1940 to a fully-fledged armored corps Panzerkorps Feldherrnhalle in 1945.

SA Maxims were simple:

"Terror must be broken by terror" "All opposition must be stamped into the ground"

NARRATOR: Falling to his knees in agony, it came to him to look up. Something beckoned.

From below the sidereal ribbons high above in the night sky, an image of equally perfect, bright blue, and green digital circles appears to him; drawing him away from his angered, mortal, earthly plane and into its dimension of hope and calm.

And within the image, far from his privy, an orange light looks down and smiles its bright smile.

THE ORB: It is time. Choose carefully.

NARRATOR: As the ribbons drew back he looks up and notices that the clouds, like the form, all began looking the same no matter his angle. Soon after, the blue-green form above splits and a mad dash of bright orange light emerges and speeds downward through the dimension and clouds.

He sees the bright, orange light-rocket race downward to him. And just as it impacts he falls over onto the soft mounds of silken japonica Zoysia grass and passes out.

The light in a gentle voice and a line so long and bright he knew where it came from [Fanfare.]: The Great Attractor.

THE ORB: Wake up.

11110001111111011110001011111010

BOOLE: In dynamical systems, an attractor is a set to which the system evolves after a long enough time. For the set to be an attractor, trajectories that get close enough to the attractor must remain close even if slightly disturbed.

Geometrically, an attractor can be a point, a curve, a manifold, or even a complicated set with fractal structures known as a strange attractor. Describing the attractors of chaotic dynamical

140. systems has been one of the achievements of chaos theory.

A trajectory of the dynamical system in the attractor does not have to satisfy any special constraints except for remaining on the attractor. The trajectory may be periodic or chaotic or of any other type.

Dynamical systems are often described in terms of differential equations. These equations describe the behavior of the system for a short period of time. To determine the behavior for longer periods it is necessary to integrate the equations, either through analytical means or through iteration, often with the aid of computers.

Dynamical systems in the physical world tend to be dissipative: if it were not for some driving force the motion would cease. (The dissipation may come from internal friction, thermodynamic losses, or loss of material, among many causes.) The dissipation and the driving force tend to combine to kill out initial transients and settle the system into its typical behavior. The part of the phase space of the dynamical system corresponding to the typical behavior is the attracting set or attractor.

The Science of Chaos has discovered four basic Cosmos Attractors: The Point Attractor. Cycle Attractor. Torus Attractor. Strange Attractor.

Although known as the four "chaos attractors," they are the very opposite - they are Cosmos Attractors that balance chaos. The four "Attractors" bring order out of Chaos.

They are part of a basic law of four - a "fractal of four." The Universe has a fundamental pattern of fourfoldness throughout all scales of magnitude. When applied to Nature, including Man, the Law of Four manifests as the four attractors. These attractors balance entropy, providing order from out of chaos. When applied in the microcosmic level "the four" manifests as the four basic energies or forces: electromagnetic, gravity, and the strong and weak forces.

In human consciousness its the four functions of sensing, thinking, feeling and willing. Understanding how the Attractors work in the mesocosmic world can help us make sense of our world,

141.

and make sense of our consciousness functions.

Everywhere we see a hidden order and similarity over scales, such as is that shown geometrically by the Mandelbrot and Julia sets. This hidden order is based on one of the four Attractors, the Strange Attractor. It governs the fourth dimension of space-time reality.

The other three attractors, which likewise bring hidden order out of Chaos, follow the first, second and third dimensions, the line, plane and solid.

A fixed point is a point that a system evolves towards, such as the final states of a falling pebble, a damped pendulum, or the water in a glass. It corresponds to a fixed point of the evolution function that is also attracting.

*Attractor A, the Point Attractor, is the simplest way to bring order out of chaos. Its home is the first dimension of the line, a collection of an infinite number of points. With the Point attractor in play, a person is invariably drawn to one particular activity, or repelled from another, like the positive or negative poles of electromagnetic energy.

There is also sometimes a point just in between attraction and repulsion, the saddle point, when the energies are in balance, just before one force becomes stronger than the other. With the Point attractor there is typically a fixation on one desire, or revulsion, and all else is put aside until it is satisfied or destroyed.

With the positive attraction force all roads seem to lead to the same destination; with the negative repelling, all lead from the same place. A positive magnet drawn to negative, a pendulum slowing down with friction and air resistance, or more graphically, a young male dog around a bitch in heat, all demonstrate the workings of the point attractor. It is a black- white, good-bad, single minded attractor, except in the rare instances of the saddle point. Its analogy in consciousness is the feeling function, with its likes and dislikes

*Attractor B: A limit cycle is a periodic orbit of the system that is isolated. Examples include the swings of a pendulum clock, the

142. tuning circuit of a radio, and the heartbeat while resting. The ideal pendulum is not an example because its orbits are not isolated. In phase space of the ideal pendulum, near any point of a periodic orbit there is another point that belongs to a different periodic orbit.

*Attractor C: Torus attractor may be more than one frequency in the periodic trajectory of the system through the state of a limit cycle.

With the Torus Attractor there is complex cycling which moves forward and so is different while it repeats itself. Its home is the third dimension of the solid, a collection of an infinite number of planes.

With the Torus Attractor there is also a high degree of irregularity and complexity in the pattern, particularly when compared to the Circuit or Point attractors. But unlike the Strange attractor, predictions can still be made, the pattern is fixed and finite.

Mathematically the Torus is depicted in the shape of a large donut or bagel as shown above. It is made up of a spiraling circle on many planes which may, or may not, eventually hook up with itself after completing one or more full revolutions. Its analogy in consciousness is the sensing function. The complexity of sensations and sensuality.

An example of the Torus attractor at work would be a more complex set of attracting events which occur to a person on many levels over a course of a year, and repeat again, year in and year out. For example, a desire to golf each summer, hike each fall, and eat and drink too much on holidays.

In Nature it is shown for instance by the complex interaction of a number of interdependent species: the population of one predator species relates to that of the prey of its prey. For example, the size of the insect population effects the size of the frog population, which effects the size of one of their predators, the trout, which in turn effects their predators, the pike.

Unfortunately, most humans are also subject to the complex but predictable influences of the Torus attractor, or the even more

143.

simplistic influences of the Cycle or Point attractor.

As humans living in the fourth dimension we are at our best when we avoid their influences and follow the spontaneity and freedom of the Strange Attractor.

*Attractor D: The Strange attractor. With the Strange attractor we need to escape from the deterministic influence of the point, circuit and torus attractors into the unpredictably of the Strange Attractor.

This attractor is the basis of Self Organization. There is no apparent order at all to the actions of the Strange attractor. On the surface it appears to be pure Chaos, but nevertheless there is order of a subtle kind which only appears over time when looked at in the right perspective. Its analogy in consciousness is the willing function. Yet, when tied to Awareness - the Zero - it is spontaneous, unpredictable. It appears to be chaotic, yet it has order of a subtle, fractal kind.

The Strange Attractor can take an infinite number of different forms. And all of them are fractal and demonstrate infinite self- similarity.

This best known fractal, driven by the unpredictable Zero - the Strange Attractor - is called the Mandelbrot Set.

NARRATOR: Suddenly, he got it: awareness.

BOOLE: An attractor is informally described as strange if it has non-integer dimension or if the dynamics on the attractor are chaotic.

Only in this way can we live autonomously in the moment, in tune with what the Chinese call the Tao, the Way, the flow of forces in the fourth dimension.

The four attractors act on all levels of reality to form Cosmos out of Chaos. They make up a newly discovered Wisdom Law fundamental to making sense of what is happening in the real world.

The world is not totally ordered as previously believed. It is

144. fundamentally disordered, chaotic, but it contains forces or attractors of cosmos that create patterns of order over time.

They are anchors of order in an otherwise stormy sea. Full understanding of the Attractors requires a new understanding of space and time. As to space, we need to understand how space is the original force - in Sanskrit called Brahman, in Chinese Wu Chi, in Peruvian and Japanese Ki - which creates the world through the point. Real insight into this only comes from direct experience of Ki.

A new understanding of time entails realization that time is not defined by the clock, but by intensity and rhythms. In the fields of the four attractors, it is time which makes it possible for order to appear from chaos.

In the computer, the electric current automatically creates the iteration. With Man it is not so easy, we ourselves have to return to Zero - Awareness - to start a new iteration. Awareness is sacred space (called "Wakan" by the Native American Lakota tribe; "Mana" by the Polynesians) which you connect with as soon as you attain the center of your true Self, called by the Japanese - Hara.

Thus the difficulty which many scientists have in understanding Chaos is not mental, but existential. Their consciousness based on the Cycle attractor of analytical thinking refuses the Strange attractor, which means total individual responsibility. They cannot ground themselves in Zero and experience the true meaning of space and time.

As they cannot find their inner core - Awareness/God - they can only see Chaos from the outside. They cannot make the jump from knowledge to Wisdom, to inside the black. Without this anchor they lack the experiential insight - and the confidence and Wisdom this brings - needed to live on the edge where great discoveries are made.

They only see isolated Cantor sets and miss the pattern which only comes from awareness of the whole, the Mandelbrot fractal.

BOOLE: The 13th Waffen Mountain Division of the SS Handschar (1st Croatian) was one of the thirty-eight divisions fielded as part of the Waffen-SS during World War II. It was the largest of the SS divisions, with 21,065 men at its peak, composed almost entirely of non-German Muslim and Catholic recruits drawn from Bosnia. Handschar (Bosnian/Croatian: Handžar) was the local word for the Turkish scimitar (Arabic: Khanjar ?), a historical symbol of Bosnia and Islam. An image of the Handschar adorned the division's flag and coat of arms.

The Handschar division was a mountain infantry formation, known by the Germans as "Gebirgsjäger". It was used to conduct operations against Yugoslav Partisans in the Balkan Mountains from February to September 1944.

In Spring of 1943, the Muslim Mufti of Jerusalem, Mohammad Amin al- Husayni, (aka Amin al-Husseini), was recruited by the Nazis to assist in the organization and recruitment of Bosniaks into several divisions of the Waffen SS and other units in Yugoslavia.

He was successful in convincing the Bosniaks to go against the declarations of the Sarajevo, Mostar, and Banja Luka Clerics, who had since 1941, forbidden Bosnian Muslims to collaborate with (Ustaše).

The Encyclopedia of the Holocaust states that "The Germans made a point of publicizing the fact that Husseini had flown from Berlin to Sarajevo for the sole purpose of giving his blessing to the Muslim army and inspecting its arms and training exercises".

According to Aleksa Djilas in The Nation That Wasn't., al-Husayni "accepted, visited Bosnia, and convinced some important Muslim leaders that a Muslim SS division would be in the interest of Islam. In spite of these and other propaganda efforts, only half of the expected 20,000 to 25,000 Muslims volunteered." (from The Black Book of Bosnia by Nader Mousavizadeh, (Editor), Basic Books, New York, 1996, p. 23)

Pavelic, the leader of the Croat-fascist Ustashe, objected to the recruitment of an exclusively Muslim division and was concerned about a Muslim bid for independence, considering Muslim areas a part of the Nazi-created "Independent State of Croatia", which

146. included Bosnia. As a compromise, the division was called "Croatian" and included at least 10% Catholic Croats.

Al-Husayni insisted that "The most important task of this division must be to protect the homeland and families (of the Bosnian volunteers); the division must not be permitted to leave Bosnia", but this request was ignored by the Germans (German archives cited in Lepre, p34).

The incorporation of Bosnian Muslims into the Waffen SS required changes to be made to Nazi racist ideology and propaganda, and also required special privileges, which included that they were not required to eat rations of pork or drink alcoholic beverages.

According to Chris Ailsby, "Himmler convinced himself that Balkan Muslims were neither Slavs nor Turks, but were Aryans who had adopted Islam." (Source: "SS: Hell on the Western Front. The Waffen SS in Europe 1940-1945", 2003. p.70).

He believed the Muslims of Bosnia to be the same, racially, as the Croatians, and saw the Croatians as descended from Gothic and Persian stock.

HE: Seems not much has changed in the ideologies of both groups. Good of the United States, vis-a-vis NATO, to protect and free both Nazi-supporting and created states and peoples. Helping them slaughter the Serbs in 1995 in Bosnia and 1999 in Kosovo.

THE ORB: So it would seem, but that is no reason to act like them.

HE: One just can’t sing Mass Hypnotist praises more that a radical Moslem.

THE ORB: That is always the case. War crime trials are only the winning side trying the losing side.

BOOLE (annoyed voice): If you two are done. [Reciting.] Recruitment for the division fell as the war progressed and when rumors spread that the division was going to fight the Soviets, the Muslims deserted in droves. Much like Chechnya.

At the end of 1944, the separate Kama division was merged into the

147.

Handschar division.

NARRATOR: Back in his safe house from his walk in the park, he and Boole shared another academic moment.

HE: So, the park is just like Ground Zero .

BOOLE: Correct, you see it for what it is. Practice during the days when a fair or happening occurs. It is crowded, bond by police. The perfect place to practice. Just let me overlay the map of it with your target Ground Zero .

HE: Should I do one hit ?

BOOLE: No, absolutely not. This is stealth, and the place you will return to. No one must know. No one, do you understand ?

HE: Yes, but what of the tenets of cover and concealment ?

BOOLE: Once again, read, listen to me, and learn.

HE (happy, excited state of mind): Fire away !

BOOLE: Cover is natural or artificial protection from the fire of enemy weapons.

Natural cover (ravines, hollows, reverse slopes) and artificial cover (fighting positions, trenches, walls) protect the sniper from flat trajectory fires and partly protect it from high-angle fires and the effects of nuclear explosions.

Even the smallest depression or fold in the ground may provide some cover when the sniper needs it most. A 6-inch depression, properly used, may provide enough cover to save the sniper under fire.

Snipers must always look for and take advantage of all the cover

148. that the terrain provides. By combining this habit with proper movement techniques, the sniper can protect himself from view and fire from police, Feds, or SWAT. To get protection from enemy fire when moving, the sniper uses routes that put cover between itself and the enemy.

HE: What about concealment ?

BOOLE: Concealment is natural or artificial protection from enemy observation. The surroundings may provide natural concealment that needs no change before use (bushes, grass, and shadows). The sniper creates artificial concealment from materials such as burlap and camouflage nets, or it can move natural materials (bushes, leaves, buildings, and grass) from their original location. The sniper must consider the effects of the change of seasons on the concealment provided by both natural and artificial materials.

The "principles of concealment" include the following:

First, avoid unnecessary movement. Remain still. Movement is the attractor of attention.

HE (interrupts): Walk between the raindrops.

BOOLE: As I said, the position of the urban sniper is concealed when he remains still, but the sniper’s position is easily detected when he moves. Movement against a stationary background makes the sniper stand out clearly. When the sniper must change positions, it moves carefully over a concealed route to a new position, preferably during limited visibility. Snipers move inches at a time, slowly and cautiously, always scanning ahead for the next position.

Second, use all available concealment. Available concealment includes the following:

(a) Background is important as the sniper must use it to prevent detection. The trees, bushes, grass, earth, and man-made structures that form the background vary in color and appearance. This makes it possible for the urban sniper to blend with them. The urban sniper selects trees or bushes to blend with the uniform

149. and to absorb the figure outline. Snipers must always assume they are under observation.

(b) A sniper in the open stands out clearly, but the sniper in the shadows of a building is difficult to see. Shadows exist under most conditions, day and night. A sniper should never fire from the edge of a wood line; he should fire from a position inside the wood line (in the shade or shadows provided by the tree tops), large plants, or heaps of trash, and so forth.

(c) Avoid skylining. Figures on the skyline can be seen from a great distance, even at night, because a dark outline stands out against the lighter sky. The silhouette formed by the body makes a good target.

(d) Alter familiar outlines. Military equipment and the human body are familiar outlines to the police or reporters. The sniper should alter or disguise these revealing shapes by using the Ghillie suit or outer smock that is covered with irregular patterns of garnish. The sniper must alter his outline from his head to the soles of his tennis shoes.

(e) Observe noise discipline. Noise, such as talking, can be picked up by enemy patrols or observation posts. The sniper silences his gear before a mission so that it makes no sound when the he walks or runs.

THE ORB: The Devil is in the details.

BOOLE: Someone, -- A Mister Thorne, I think, but does it matter who and how nowadays ? -- told me once that like Christians, Muslims are divided into various sects.

Among Christians, there are Catholics and Protestants; among Protestants, there are Methodists, Lutherans, and Presbyterians. Similarly, among Muslims, there are Sunnis and Shias; among Shia there are Ismailis, Yazidis, and Zaydis.

Like Christians, Muslims are united by their common beliefs; they are divided by details, their understanding of history, and their

150. different interpretations of scriptures that are somewhat shy of being entirely consistent and free from ambiguity.

The major division among Muslims is between the Shias (the followers of Ali) and the Sunnis (the traditionalists, or followers of Abu). The division began right after the death of Muhammad ibn Abdullah, the founder of Islam.

Right away, the question had to be addressed: who would be Muhammad’s successor: the caliph ? Who would lead the Muslim community: the ummah ? Muhammad had managed to unite disparate Arab tribes under the banner of Islam, and a caliph would be needed to rule over them and maintain the faith. Who should it be ? How should the caliph be selected ?

A leading candidate was Ali ibn Abi Talib, the first man to convert to Islam. Ali was related to Muhammad in two ways. First, he was Muhammad’s cousin. Second, he was Muhammad’s son in law, the husband of Muhammad’s daughter Fatima.

According to the Shias, Muhammad wanted Ali to be caliph. Ali was a close associate of Muhammad’s. The two battled the Infidels (whoever wouldn’t convert to Islam) together on many occasions. And Muhammad made it clear that Ali should succeed him. He made it clear when he said, “I am the City of Knowledge and Ali is its Gate.” He made it clear when he said, “Whoever I have authority over, Ali also has authority over.”

Right after Muhammad died, a meeting was quickly called, and Abu Bakr was elected caliph by a small group of his associates. Missing from the group were any of Muhammad’s immediate family. Also missing were most of Muhammad’s closest followers. Hence, the election of Abu was illegitimate, according to the Shias.

According to the Sunnis, the Shias are mistaken about what happened and why. To them, Abu was rightfully elected caliph. He was Muhammad’s closest friend. He fought alongside Muhammad in many battles and protected him from his enemies. Like Ali, Abu was related to Muhammad by marriage. His daughter, Aisha, was one of Muhammad’s nine wives.

To the Sunnis, Muhammad made it clear that Abu should succeed him. And they have their evidence. Muhammad used to lead the daily

151. prayers in the mosque in Medina. When he was old and became ill, he gave Abu the high honor of leading the prayers. One day, Abu was absent, and another of Muhammad’s faithful companions was leading the prayer. Muhammad objected: “No one but he [Abu] should lead prayers. He is the fittest person for this high office.” As the Sunnis see it, Muhammad clearly wanted Abu to succeed him.

HE: This is nuts, or they are.

BOOLE: Oh ? From Moses to Joseph Smith, the phenomenon of divine revelation has played a major role in the transmission of sacred literature. After forty day and forty night on Mount Sinai, Moses received from Jehovah two tables of stone, containing Ten Commandments. The Book of Mormon was dictated by Joseph Smith from golden plates reveal to him by the angel Moroni.

In a similarly miraculous fashion, the sacred scriptures of Islam were transcribed from supernatural sources. According to the prophet Mohammed, Allah recorded the divine decrees of the Koran in a tablet of vast size, called the “preserved table,” and portions of the text were revealed to Mohammed by the Angel Gabriel over a period of 23 years.

Mohammed, who was apparently given to epileptic seizures (regarded until modern times as supernatural evidence of either sanctity or demon possession), spent lone hours in solidarity meditation in the cave of Hira, near Mecca.

On one such occasion, experiencing a religious ecstasy. He heard voices declaring: “You are the chosen one, proclaimed the Name of the Lord.”

With that came a vision of the opening passage of the Koran written in a letter of fire upon a cloth. Thus Allah began to impart the Koranic text to his faithful disciple.

HE: What morons would put 1,000,000 Americans in between such middle age violence to stop who knows what ?

BOOLE: Only such fools that would not know history and thus repeat it.

152.

HE: Or, want us to lose.

BOOLE: In toto, the Koran is a combination of traditional history, promises to the faithful, and admonitions of a moral political, and religious character. Basically, the work is indebted to the Old Testament and the tradition of the Hebrew Talmud, along with the incorporations of Coptic Christianity, Arabic and Zoroastrian legends.

HE: It’s just like the TV or talk radio.

BOOLE: The Koran in its present form was not written until some twenty years after the Prophet’s death. At that time, the task was entrusted by Caliph Abu Bekr to Mohammed’s principal scribs Zaid Ibn Thabit, and was assisted by three colleagues. Their raw materials were multifarious: “On leaves of the palm. Pieces of leather, on white stones and the shoulder-blades of sheep and camels.

HE: Did you say “shoulder-blades of the sheep and camels ?”

HE: Between the Excalibur , with all its receivers, barrels, the specifications of ammo, conversion sleeves, the forends, the buttstocks, the scope, and an undetectable home-made silencer one can put together in 10 seconds, you’d need to be a sniper in the military to figure it out on your own.

153.

BOOLE: Help is on the way, so here are some specs and different sales packages.

First, look at the specs on each Excalibur in the catalogue and the manual for your soon-to-be Excalibur in general:

HE (reading aloud):

1) ACTION: Single shot, break open design (by pulling up and back on the trigger guard spur) 2) BARREL: Interchangeable by use of a removable barrel/frame hinge pin. Button rifled. Drilled and tapped for scope mounts. 3) TRIGGER: Adjustable for over travel. 4) HAMMER: Wide grooves in hammer spur for positive grip. 5) STOCK AND FOREND: American Walnut. Monte Carlo Style Stock with pistol grip & rubber butt pad. Matching forend. 6) OTHER: Comes with 3—9x40mm Scope in Weaver-style rings and bases and a lockable hard case for easy transport 7) BARREL LENGTH: 24" Standard barrel — 308 Win 26" Heavy barrel 300 Win Mag 26" Barrel 209x.50 Muzzleloader 8) WEIGHT: 7 lbs. 4oz. (308 Win with 24" barrel and mounted scope) 9) OVERALL LENGTH: 38-1/2" (with 24" barrel) 10) LENGTH OF PULL: 14-3/4"

HE: DONE !

BOOLE: Yes, and it breaks down from two assemblies into the five parts, and vice versa, in seconds.

HE: Don’t give that part away, Mister Forsyth.

BOOLE: Now, don’t forget the accessories. You also want the model with a barrel with no sights that are drilled for the scope mounts. As I showed you it should be 24”-28” and blued. Maybe between .223 Remington and the .375 H&H Mag, probably around 300- 308 Mag or higher; but not 50 caliber.

154.

HE: Did as you suggested. But how many quick release devices are possible from the forend to the buttstock ?

BOOLE: Not on the 28” but you can improvise those. [Boole pulls out a page and displays it.] Like this, but the key is to put it together, shoot, then disassemble in seconds. But if you order the 24” or 26” you can get the quick connect forends.

THE ORB (moves about them and speaks in a miffed tone): First Art Deco and now accessories. Are you sure that the psychoanalytical people aren’t right about rockets and barrel ?

BOOLE: So what caliber did you go with ?

HE: Ah, that’s for me to know and them the find out. How do you make a homemade silencer that is undetectable ?

BOOLE: Yes, I am curious too, how did you figure that one out without my help ?

NARRATOR: He takes a big gulp of his Live Wire Mountain Dew bottle and smiles.

HE: Let’s just say I’ll take me best shot and no one will hear it but me.

BOOLE: So you understood that there are two kinds to match ?

HE: Yes. It even comes with complete instructions, all I had to do was practice assembling, disassembling and firing.

BOOLE: You’ve done well, my son.

HE: Roger that.

BOOLE: And ?

HE: As much of it common and interchangeable by generation so that tracking the weapon profile will be difficult.

BOOLE: The keys are the rifling in the barrel and the trigger pin.

155.

HE: That’s what the manual said too. Those have to be destroyed by fire, mechanics or thrown into deep shark-infested water. That’s how to get rid of the central piece of evidence. Habeas Corpus, baby.

BOOLE: The chosen one, the Excalibur , is sweeter than Yoo-Hoo:

HE: Wow ! Excalibur even provides the hunter with a scoped Excalibur pistol ready for the field. The hassle of purchasing a suitable scope mount, rings and a scope has been eliminated.

BOOLE: Maybe, then add the Excalibur scopes. The 300 Win Mag is the preferred sniper caliber today, but the .223 Mag will do well. You will choose later.

HE: Yea, but all the hunter has to do is sight his Excalibur he’s ready to go. Jesus, this is something. Oh, here is the kicker, .45/.410 barrels not for sale in California.

BOOLE: Thank God we won’t be there. The 28” barrel is more accurate, but harder to hide than the 24” barrel. Don’t forget to research the converted caliber and possibly a paper wrapped projectile. So, if you don’t get the package, and you want it versatility, order 24-28” barrels without sights.

BOOLE: Now repeat this again: B.R.A.S.S. again, and again.

HE: I will know this acronym B.R.A.S.S. by heart:

B - breath control, take a deep breath, exhale, take another deep breath and exhale half way:

R - mental and physical relaxation, as you quickly set your natural point of aim.

A - aim; stock weld to cheek and shoulder cushion; eye relief; hand positioning.

S - sight alignment and sight picture. Get exact eye relief (id est, the distance between the eye and the

156. scope), find the center of mass of the target, focus on front sight -- in this case the cross hairs -- then see the target's mass blur; and, lastly and most importantly;

S - slack and squeeze, or the slow, steady, even movement of the trigger completely to the rear using only the front pad of the shooter's right index finger until the hammer falls.

BOOLE: Use the pages I provided in the manuals to show the versatility of your modern Excalibur , and how it can be hidden, even on your person.

HE: Or, even in crutches.

BOOLE: Bravo ! In addition, start getting in the habit of keeping all five of the parts as Art Deco, like the Orb said.

THE ORB: Leave me out.

BOOLE: Hidden in plain view, if you will.

WRITTEN ON SCREEN: "Liberty is always unfinished business." - Mass Hypnotists

HE: Fuck it, you’re correct. I will order a few barrels and scopes and turn it into my killing instrument. My HOG, my Hand-Of-God.

BOOLE: Good, and don’t forget to add caliber conversion, and maybe paper wrapping, later to your lists of things to learn and do.

NARRATOR: While The Orb cowered in the ether, he summoned the strength to approach the Arab, then opened his eyes.

HE (happily surprised): Telly Aljohani ? I don't believe it, it’s been forever.

NARRATOR: The large Arab, wearing the aforementioned Harley-

157.

Davidson HOG biker jacket and leather pants, smiles and hugs his hesitant friend.

TELLY: May I and my friend enter your dwelling ?

HE: Certainly. How was your Hajj to Mecca and Medina ?

TELLY: Wonderful, it fulfills our life. [Looks outside at his 10 brothers and 12 HOGs.] Is it okay to park our HOGs here ?

BOOLE: As Caliph Moslems use to like to do all over other people’s lands, they are prone to the Softail family of Harleys, not Dyna, Sportsters or V-Rods. Most HOG families are distinguished by their respective frames, engines, suspension, etc.

NARRATOR: However, Telly’s Imams were partial to Touring family bike. And that is what there were, 11 Touring, and Telly’s awesome Sportster chopper.

BOOLE: The Touring family, also known as "dressers", includes three Road King models, and five Glide models offered in various trim.

The Road Kings have a "retro cruiser" appearance and most models are equipped with a large clear windshield. Road Kings are reminiscent of big-twin models from the 1940s and '50s.

Glides can be identified by their full front fairings. Most Glides sport a unique fairing referred to as the "Batwing" because of its unmistakable shape.

Touring models are distinguishable by their large luggage, rear coil-over air suspension and are the only models to offer full fairings with Radios/CBs.

All Touring models use the same frame, first introduced with a Shovelhead motor in 1980, and carried forward with only modest upgrades to this day. The frame is distinguished by the location of the steering head in front of the forks and was the first H-D frame to rubber mount the drivetrain to isolate the rider from the vibration of the big V-Twin.

158.

Although all Touring models weigh in excess of 800lbs., they are remarkably easy to handle at low speeds and high, and give the most comfortable and relaxing ride of any Harley. The frame was modified for the 1994 model year when the oil tank went under the transmission and the battery was moved inboard from under the right saddlebag to under the seat. In 1997, the frame was again modified to allow for a larger battery under the seat and to lower seat height.

These big-twin motorcycles capitalize on Harley's strong value on tradition. With the rear-wheel suspension invisible on the bottom of the frame, they are visibly similar to the Hardtail choppers popular in the 1960s and '70s, as well as from their own earlier history.

In keeping with that tradition, Harley offers Softail models with "springer" front ends and "heritage" styling that incorporate design cues from throughout their history.

BOOLE: In 1969, American Machinery and Foundry (AMF) bought the Harley company, streamlined production, and slashed the workforce.

This tactic resulted in a labor strike and a lower quality of bikes. The company also ceased to be an innovator in the motorcycle industry, with a design that remained basically unchanged for many years. The bikes were expensive and inferior in performance, handling, and quality to Japanese motorcycles. Sales declined, quality plummeted, and the company almost went bankrupt. The venerable name of "Harley-Davidson" was mocked as "Hardly Ableson", and the nickname "Hog" became pejorative.

In 1981, AMF sold the company to a group of thirteen investors led by Vaughn Beals and Willie G. Davidson for $80 million. Under AMF, inventory was strictly controlled using the Just In Time inventory system -- a child of the Deming lectures.

Rather than trying to match the Japanese, this new management deliberately exploited the "retro" appeal of the machines, building motorcycles that deliberately adopted the look and feel of their earlier machines and the subsequent customizations of owners of that era.

159.

Many components such as brakes, forks, shocks, carburetors, electrics, and wheels were outsourced from foreign manufacturers and quality increased, technical improvements were made, and buyers slowly returned. To remain profitable Harley continues to increase the amount of overseas made parts it uses while being careful not to harm its valuable "American Made" image.

In 1983, an organization was formed, taking advantage of the long- standing nickname by turning "hog" into the acronym H.O.G., for Harley Owners Group.

The "Sturgis" model, boasting a dual belt-drive, was introduced. By 1990, with the introduction of the "Fat Boy", Harley once again became the sales leader in the heavyweight (over 750cc) market. There was a controversy that the Fat Boy model was allegedly inspired by the name of the bombs (Fat Man and Little Boy) that were dropped on Nagasaki and Hiroshima. The company vehemently denies this and claims it is a coincidence.

Harley-Davidson established the Harley Owners Group (H.O.G.) in 1983 in response to a growing desire by a new breed of Harley riders for an organized way to share their passion and show their pride. By 1985, 49 local chapters existed, with a membership of 60,000.

Rapid growth continued into the 1990s, and in 1991 H.O.G. officially went international, with the first official European H.O.G. Rally in Cheltenham, England. Worldwide membership numbered 151,600, with 685 local chapters.

BOOLE: Albino bias, almost synonymous with Amish bias, refers to the societal prejudice and discrimination against albino humans and, in particular, the negative depiction of albino people in the mass culture. Research has established that albino individuals are not physically or mentally different from other people, apart from differences in pigmentation and vision.

One of the oldest perceived examples of albino bias was H.G. Wells's depiction of the main character in his 1897 science- fiction novel The Invisible Man. The character was able to become invisible using his scientific discoveries only because he already

160. lacked natural pigmentation; he subsequently became mentally deranged, thus creating the stereotyped image of the albino villain or the albino madman.

This phenomenon may be due to an introduction of attitudes towards people with albinism from Africa or Jamaica, where those with that condition are sometimes regarded as cursed; an expansion of the "evil Nazi" idea; a combination of several of the above; or a development separate from any of them.

Another explanation of this may be sought in respective ideals of beauty - most Evil Albinos appear in works of fiction from the West, written during eras where tanned skin was considered attractive. In fiction from Japan, whose ideals of beauty call for as pale skin as possible, characters with albinism or associated traits are more frequently sympathetic than in Western fiction. This is not to say that Japanese popular culture has not depicted evil albinos. However, such characters in Japanese fiction are often "pretty-boy villains" whose beautiful appearance is used for a cognitive dissonance effect against their moral evil (see Sephiroth).

The "Evil Albino" archetype can also have its roots in folklore and mythology. For example, the evil Yuki-onna (not Yoko Ono) of Japanese legends is described as a very pale woman, although this is probably because she is a snow spirit. Some cultures in Neolithic Eastern Europe also depicted Death as a pallid woman with light hair.

HE (sadly musing): So much for the utopian aesthetics of the likes of Wells, George Bernard Shaw and John Ruskin. Even they were biased against Albinism.

THE ORB: What do you expect from socialists. Look at Cuba, they put AIDS patients and leprosy victims in insolation camps.

BOOLE: More than a century after Wells, albino bias has persisted in the literature and especially Hollywood movies.

BOOLE: The classic Harley-Davidson engines are two-cylinder, V-

161.

Twin engines with the pistons placed at a 45-degree angle. The crankshaft has a single pin, and both pistons are connected to this pin through their connecting rods. This design causes the pistons to fire at uneven intervals.

On the V-Twin, the sequence is as follows: the first piston fires (this is the 0° position) the other piston fires at 315° into the stroke there is a 405° gap (as both cylinders go through their exhaust stroke) until the first piston fires again.

This design, which is covered under several United States patents, gives the Harley-Davidson V-Twin its unique "potato-potato" sound.

NARRATOR: While the other 11 Imam’s rode Touring bikes, Telly’s Harley was a one-of-a-kind, fully restored, 1972 Harley Sportster Chopper, with all the trimmings: rebuilt motor and transmission, more chrome than Socrates, SU card, girder front fork (12" over), and custom black paint with gold flames around a Moslem crescent sword on each side.

THE ORB: It's a beautiful HOG.

HE: Use to detest Harley riders. Loud, obnoxious, self-centered, ignorant jerks one and all. Looked like rejects from an American Idol-Village People edition, if you had asked me. But then came the assholes of BCR. By any comparison, bikers are great.

THE ORB: Did you ever notice that American Idol isn't very popular in Tehran, Baghdad, or Riyadh ?

HE (snaps back): Yes. And it also just dawned on me that you never see a newspaper headline that reads: “Golden Retriever mauls toddler”.

THE ORB (laughing): Maybe in Pinellas Park.

HE (smiling): That was good, but there it would be a pig not a hog. They are real death party panelists, aren’t they ? [To Telly.] Telly, park all of your HOGs in the yard.

TELLY (smiling and laughing with the other Imams): The only Hog

162. for me, and you are sure no one will touch them ?

HE: Certainly, this isn't Tripoli.

TELLY: But it is Florida.

THE ORB (mocking): Let's keep the door open so we can watch the Moslem HOGs.

NARRATOR: Telly, with his biker gang waiting outside, sits with his friend. He looks down and notices Telly has brought two gifts: one a small rolled up rug, and the other a small, plastic, sandwich bag filled to the top with bundles of greenish-red sticks that didn’t look like any asparagus he had ever seen.

HE: What have you for me, Telly ?

THE ORB: Presents for you from Mecca and Medina ? Gee, TSA and Homeland Security fodder. How are his nuts ?

TELLY: For Habiba, I brought a prayer mat from Mecca and something else for being my only friend in America, especially after 9-11, Spain and London.

NARRATOR: There is a murmur among the others as if to say, “Don’t tell him.”

TELLY: My friends and I decided that you may have this. Only be careful.

NARRATOR: Again, there is a more serious murmur among the others. Something about the Yemeni Caliphs wanting it back.

Something like that.

THE ORB: It’s illegal, even in most of their cultures.

BOOLE: Except England. Go figure.

HE: Thank God we aren’t in an orange jumpsuit.

BOOLE: With the Cycle attractor a person is drawn first to one thing and then to another, like a circling magnet, first attracting, then repelling, then attracting again. Its home is the second dimension of the plane, a collection of an infinite number of lines. Under this Attractor you cycle back and forth from a set of two or more activities.

Although not as simple and direct as the Point attractor, there is still regularity and simplicity to the cyclic events. An example is a desire to sleep at the end of a day, which when gratified naturally leads to a desire for activity at the beginning of a new day, followed much later by a desire to sleep again, etc. In Nature it can be seen in many ways; for instance, the predator- prey systems where the respective predator-prey populations cycle up and down in relation to the other.

The Cycle attractor is more complex than the simple attraction or repulsion type Point attractor. Its analogy in consciousness is the thinking function. Like objective thinking the Cycle attractor recognizes both sides and tends to include a third; for example, the synthesis coming out of the thesis and anti-thesis.

BOOLE: A Muslim prayer mat or prayer rug, is a piece of fabric (often decorated) used by Muslims during their five daily prayers (Salat). Though not required for prayer, the prayer mat helps to keep the worshipper clean and comfortable during the prostrations of prayer. A Muslim must clean himself or herself before prayer and pray in a clean place.

Prayer rugs are usually made in the towns or villages of the communities who use them and are often named after the origins of those who deal and collect them. The exact pattern will vary greatly by original weavers and the different materials used. Some may have patterns, dyes, and materials that are traditional/native to the region in which they were made.

Prayer rugs' patterns generally have a niche at the top, which is turned to face Mecca. During prayer the supplicant kneels at the base of the rug and places his or her hands on either size of the

164. niche at the top of the rug, his or her forehead touching the niche. Typical prayer rug sizes are approximately 3' x 5' - 4' x 6', enough to kneel above the fringe on one end and bend down and place the head on the other.

Some countries produce textiles with prayer rug patterns for export. Many modern prayer rugs are strictly commercial pieces made in large numbers to sell on an international market or tourist trade. These pieces generally have little value and some are made using the same pattern by many weavers on a shift in a warehouse setting. Some may even be machine made.

There are many prayer rugs in existence today which have been taken care of for more than 100 years. In most cases, they have been immediately and carefully rolled after each prayer.

BOOLE: The earliest known use of cryptography is found in non- standard hieroglyphs carved into monuments from Egypt's Old Kingdom (ca 4500+ years ago). These are not thought to be serious attempts at secret communications, however, but rather to have been attempts at mystery, intrigue, or even amusement for literate onlookers. These are examples of still other uses of cryptography, or of something that looks (impressively if misleadingly) like it. Later, Hebrew scholars made use of simple monoalphabetic substitution ciphers (such as the Atbash cipher) beginning perhaps around 500 to 600 BCE.

HE: BCE ? Boole, you Fascist.

THE ORB: You asked him. Now you see who is controlling you ?

BOOLE: Cryptography has a long tradition in religious writing likely to offend the dominant culture or political authorities. Perhaps the most famous is the 'Number of the Beast' from the book of Revelations in the Christian New Testament. '666' might be a cryptographic -- i.e., encrypted -- way of concealing a dangerous reference; many scholars believe it's a concealed reference to the Roman Empire, or more likely to the Emperor Nero himself, (and so to Roman persecution policies) that would have been understood by the initiated (who 'had the key to understanding'), and yet be

165. safe or at least somewhat deniable (and so 'less' dangerous) if it came to the attention of the authorities. At least for orthodox Christian writing, most of the need for such concealment ended with Constantine's conversion and the adoption of Christianity as the official religion of the Empire.

The Greeks of Classical times are said to have known of ciphers, e.g., the scytale transposition cipher claimed to have been used by the Spartan military.

Herodotus tells us of secret messages physically concealed beneath wax on wooden tablets or as a tattoo on a slave's head concealed by regrown hair, though these are not properly examples of cryptography per se as the message, once known, is directly readable; this is known as steganography.

The Romans certainly did know something of cryptography, e.g., the Caesar cipher and its variations. There is ancient mention of a book about Roman military cryptography (especially Julius Caesar's); it has been, unfortunately, lost.

TELLY (motions outside and his friends walk in): My friend I would like to introduce you to my fellow Imams. (Each bows as his name is called): This is Habib, Hakam, Hakim, Hamdan, Hamdun, Hamid, Hammad, Hamzah, Harb, Harthamah, and Harun.

NARRATOR: Habib is the too cool for school, Americanized number 2 man in the bike club.

TELLY: Beware of our rival gang, the Caliphs, led by Ali. There is Aban, Abbad, Aziz, Abdus, Ahmad, ‘Allan, Ammar, Anas, Aqil, and Ayyub. They also carry curved swords, not the straight broadsword of the true Muhammadans.

NARRATOR: He sees their once hidden sheathed swords and recoils.

HE: Telly, man, this is not cool.

THE ORB: Wanna hear jokes about Ichabod Crane ?

166.

NARRATOR: Telly smiles as they sheath their swords. Then Telly pulls out two plastic sandwich bags filled with a twigs, a hard asparagus-looking substance. With one bag Telly and his friends take a stalk each and put in their mouths. The other he presents to his American friend.

TELLY: Do not worry my friend. The broadswords are for the Caliphs, the snakes, and our sworn enemy. The snake whose head we will be cut off. If you see a curved sword you are seeing the enemy.

THE ORB: These nuts are literal I will give them that.

HE: Is that what I think it is, Telly ?

TELLY (constantly smiling): Yes, my friend, please enjoy.

HE: Thank you, my friend. You and your men are not very hard to disguise as you and they are the only living tattooed, Moslem bikers in the western world.

NARRATOR: The is another murmur among them. Telly’s friend nods as if okay to tell him; it is okay to warn the American.

TELLY: The gang, the same Caliphs, are after our khat. And your khat. Then after our turf, after our rugs. It is they who might come for the rug and khat.

THE ORB (angst): What tattoo ?

NARRATOR: Telly moves his sleeve of his left arm, exposing a small tattoo of a pot leaf on the wrist of his left hand.

THE ORB: Look at that, you call that a tattoo ?

BOOLE: Where he is from in Yemen that is a great sin.

HE: Thus Americanized.

BOOLE: So were the 9/11 hijackers. They drank alcohol, did drugs, cursed. It was all a guise of terror.

167.

HE: So let's tell no one. Especially about the pig valve used in his heart bypass.

THE ORB: It will be our secret. Is Telly still a graduate student in Marine Biology and Agronomy ?

HE (having a random thought): Actually, he manages as Sonny's Bar- B-Que restaurant on University avenue.

THE ORB (shocked): He what ? !

HE (laughing to himself): Ah, pork, the other white meat. Just kidding, Telly studies the migratory patterns of the Manatee.

THE ORB: Do they find propellers as preordained ?

NARRATOR: He again looks at the plastic bag in Telly's hand. HE: Let us partake.

NARRATOR: Telly smiles again while handing the bag over.

HE: What do I owe you ?

TELLY (smiling retort): Nothing, gifts. The rug is for the prayer you answered when you saved my daughter from choking and I hope the other makes you as happy as you made me saving her.

HE: Absolutely. Thank you.

NARRATOR: Telly gets up, as do his men, shakes his hand, and both go to the door.

TELLY (as he and his 11 friends exit): My friend, enjoy these gifts and face east, to Mecca five times a day and pray to our God. We must now go to our wives and me to the child you saved. Believe in God, believe in your family.

HE: Say hello to the family for me.

NARRATOR: Once outside, Telly nods and smiles and all twelve start their Harley Hogs a potatoe chugin. He turns to his friend.

168.

TELLY (loudly): Good bye, my friend, have a very Merry Christmas, and I hope we will see you at Bobby Milk’s in Matlacha !

NARRATOR: He could barely hear Telly’s last words for the chug-a- lug threshold shifts of the ear that the loud fucking bikes were causing him.

HE: Bobby what ? Where ?

NARRATOR: Telly turns and smiles.

HE: Have a Rockin Ramadan, dude !

TELLY: Allah Akbar !

NARRATOR: Those were Telly's last words as he and the 12 Imams pop up the kickstands with their alligator booted left feet; pound the startera with their alligator booted right feet; and ring out the throttles with their leather-gloved right hand.

As they tore through the streets, the seven pillars of heavens shook.

BOOLE: Historically, in military and law enforcement use, the term sniper rifle is frequently applied to rifles used to ensure accurate placement of shots at greater ranges than other small arms.

A typical sniper rifle is built for optimal levels of accuracy, fitted with a telescopic sight and chambered for a military centerfire cartridge. The term is often used in the media to describe any type of accurised firearm fitted with a telescopic sight that is employed against human targets.

The military role of sniper (a term derived from the snipe, a bird which was difficult to hunt and shoot) dates back to the turn of the 18th century, but the sniper rifle itself is a much more recent development. Advances in technology, specifically that of telescopic sights and more accurate manufacturing, allowed armies to equip specially-trained soldiers with rifles that would enable

169. them to deliver precise shots over greater distances than regular infantry weapons.

The rifle itself could be a standard rifle (at first, a bolt- action rifle); however, when fitted with a telescopic sight, it would become a sniper rifle.

During World War II, the Mosin-Nagant rifle mounted with a telescopic sight was commonly used as a sniper rifle by Russian snipers.

In the American Civil War, Confederate troops equipped with barrel- length three power scopes mounted on the then premium British Whitworth rifle had been known to kill Union officers at ranges bordering 800 yards, an unheard-of distance at that time.

The earliest sniper rifles were little more than conventional military or target rifles with long-range "peep sights" designed for use on the target range. Only from the beginning of World War I, did specially adapted sniper rifles come to the fore, with one of the first scoped military sniper rifles being the SMLE Mk III (HT).

Typical World War II-era sniper rifles were generally standard issue rifles (hand-picked for accuracy) with a 2.5x telescopic sight and cheek-rest fitted, with the bolt turned down (if necessary) to allow operation with the scope affixed. By the end of the war, forces on all sides had specially trained soldiers equipped with sniper rifles, and they have played an increasingly important role in military operations ever since.

Modern sniper rifles can be generally divided into two basic classes: military and law enforcement.

Sniper rifles aimed at military service often deliberately sacrifice a small degree of accuracy to obtain a very high degree of durability, reliability, sturdiness, serviceability and repairability under adverse environment and combat conditions.

170.

Military snipers and sharpshooters might also be required to carry their rifles, along with other equipment, for long distances, and as such weight considerations are very important. Military organizations often operate under strict budgetary constraints, which influences the type and quality of sniper rifles they acquire.

Law enforcement (and, more recently, counter-terrorism) scenarios require the sniper to hit a particular part of the aggressor's body, usually the head. For this reason, sniper rifles used by police forces are generally required to have greater accuracy over military rifles, but at shorter ranges, often less than 100 metres.

Some of the first examples of sniper rifles designed specifically to meet police requirements were those required by West German police corps after the Munich massacre at the 1972 Summer Olympics. The Heckler & Koch PSG1 is one of the rifles designed to meet these criteria and is often referred to as an ideal example of this type of sniper rifle. The FN Special Police Rifle is another example of a rifle aimed at law enforcement rather than military agencies.

Compared to military rifles, police sniper rifles are heavier and have a shorter overall length for increased maneuverability in urban areas. Police rifles have superior accuracy and tighter tolerances in construction, and cost more since bloated budgets of police departments often allow more expensive rifles to be acquired.

Sniper rifle features can vary widely depending on the specific tasks it is intended to perform. Features that may distinguish a sniper rifle from other weapons are the presence of a telescopic sight, unusually long overall weapon length a stock designed for firing from a prone position, and the presence of a bipod and other accessories.

The single most important characteristic that sets a sniper rifle apart from other military or police small arms is the mounting of a telescopic sight, which is relatively easily distinguishable from smaller optical aiming devices found on some modern assault rifles and submachine guns (SMG).

171.

A telescopic sight allows a person to see targets more precisely by virtue of the magnified image it offers, and therefore aim the rifle more accurately. The telescopic sights used on sniper rifles differ from other optical aiming devices in that they offer much greater magnification (more than 4x and up to 40x) and much larger objective lens (40mm in diameter), resulting in a brighter image. Most telescopic lenses employed in military or police roles have special reticles to aid the shot with the judgement of distance, which is an important factor in accurate shot placement due to the curved trajectory of a bullet.

The choice between bolt-action and semiautomatic (more commonly recoil or gas operation) is usually determined by specific requirements of the sniper's role as envisioned in a particular organization, with each design having advantages and disadvantages.

For a given cartridge, a bolt-action rifle is cheaper to build and maintain, more reliable and accurate, and lighter; this is due to fewer moving parts in the mechanism. In addition, the lack of a magazine allows for more versatile fire-positioning and manual case ejection allows for greater discretion.

Semiautomatic weapons can serve a cross-purpose use as both a battle rifle and a sniper rifle, and allow for a greater rate (and hence volume) of fire. As such rifles may be modified service rifles, an additional benefit can be the commonality of operation with the issued infantry rifle. A bolt-action is the most commonly used in both military and police roles due to its higher accuracy and ease of maintenance. Anti-materiel applications such as mine clearing and special forces operations tend to see a higher usage of semiautomatics.

A designated marksman rifle (DMR) is less specialized than a typical military sniper rifle, often only intended to extend the range of a group of soldiers. Therefore, when a semiautomatic action is used it is due to its ability to cross over into roles similar to the roles of standard issue weapons. There may also be additional logistical advantages if the DMR uses the same ammunition as the more common standard issue weapons. These rifles enable a higher volume of fire but sacrifice some long range accuracy. They are frequently built from existing selective fire battle rifles or assault rifles.

172.

A police semiautomatic sniper rifle may be used in situations that require a single sniper to engage multiple targets in quick succession.

HE: What about the ammo, or anti-personnel sniper cartridges ?

BOOLE: In a military setting, logistical concerns are the primary determinant of the cartridge used, so sniper rifles are usually limited to rifle cartridges commonly used by the military force employing the rifle. Since large national militaries generally change slowly, military rifle ammunition is frequently battle- tested and well-studied by ammunition and firearms experts.

Consequently, police forces tend to follow military practices in choosing a sniper rifle cartridge instead of trying to break new ground with less-perfected (but possibly better) ammunition.

Before the introduction of the 7.62×51mm cartridge in the 1950s, standard military cartridges utilized were the .30-06 Springfield (United States), .303 British (United Kingdom) and 7.92×57mm (Germany).

The .30-06 Springfield continued in service with U.S. Marine Corps snipers during the Vietnam War in the 1970s, well after general adoption of the 7.62×51mm. At the present time, in both the Western world and within NATO, 7.62×51mm is currently the primary cartridge of choice for military and police sniper rifles.

Worldwide, the trend is similar. The preferred sniper rifle in Russia is another .30 calibre military cartridge, the 7.62x54mm R, which has similar performance to the 7.62×51mm. This cartridge was introduced in 1891, and both Russian sniper rifles of the modern era, the Mosin-Nagant and the Dragunov sniper rifle, are chambered for it.

HE: I should look at the .556 then. Find me the maximum effective ranges.

BOOLE: Okay. Certain commercial cartridges designed without the logistical constraints of most armies with only performance in mind have also gained popularity in the 1990s.

173.

These include the .300 Winchester Magnum and the first and only cartridge designed specifically for sniping the .338 Lapua Magnum.

These cartridges offer better ballistic performance and greater effective range than the 7.62×51mm. Though they are not as powerful as .50 calibre cartridges, they also do not suffer any weight penalty as is the case for rifles chambered for .50 calibre ammunition, and offer a significant improvement over rifles chambered for 7.62×51mm.

M82A1 SASR (Special Applications Scoped Rifle), a high-powered .50 calibre sniper rifle used as a military anti-materiel rifle snipers may also employ anti-materiel rifles in sniping roles against targets such as vehicles, equipment, and structures, or for the long-range destruction of explosive devices. Although designed and employed primarily as anti-materiel rifles, they may also be used against personnel.

These rifles tend to be semiautomatic, and of a larger calibre than anti-personnel rifles, using .50 calibre (12.7mm), such as the .50 BMG, Raufoss Mk211, 12.7x108mm Russian or even 14.5x114mm Russian and 20mm cartridges. Due to their considerable size and weight, snipers operating in 2 or 3-man teams becomes a necessity.

Barrels are normally of precise manufacture and of a heavier cross section than more traditional barrels in order to reduce the change in impact points between the first shot from a cold barrel and a follow-up shot from a warm barrel. Unlike many battle rifles and assault rifles, the bores are usually not chromed to avoid potential inaccuracy due to an uneven treatment.

When installed, barrels are often free-floated or installed so the barrel only contacts the rest of the rifle at the receiver to minimize the effects of pressure on the forend by slings, bipods, or the sniper's hands. The end of the barrel is usually crowned or machined to form a rebated area around the muzzle proper to avoid asymmetry or damage and therefore inaccuracy.

Alternately, some rifles like the Dragunov or Walther WA2000 provide structures at the forend to provide tension on the barrel in order to counteract barrel droop and other alterations in barrel shape.

174.

Another trait sometimes seen with sniper barrels are external longitudinal fluting that contributes to heat dissipation by increasing surface area while simultaneously decreasing the weight of the barrel.

Sniper rifle barrels may also utilize a threaded muzzle or combination device (muzzle brake or flash suppressor and attachment mount) to allow the fitting of a sound suppressor. These suppressors often have means of adjusting the point of impact while fitted.

Military sniper rifles tend to have longer barrels of around 23.5 inches (600mm) to allow cartridge propellant to fully burn and attain the optimum combination of accuracy and bullet velocity. This reduces muzzle flash, helping to keep the sniper concealed. Police sniper rifles may use shorter barrels to improve handling characteristics. The shorter barrels' velocity loss is less important at closer ranges where projectile energy remains well in excess of that needed to reliably perform.

The most common special feature of a sniper rifle stock is the adjustable cheek piece, where the shooter's cheek meets the rear of the stock. For most rifles equipped with a telescopic sight, this area is raised slightly, because the telescope is positioned higher than the iron sights. A cheek piece is simply a section of the stock that can be adjusted up or down to suit the individual shooter. To further aid this individual fitting, the stock can sometimes also be adjusted for length, often by varying the number of inserts at the rear of the stock where it meets the shooter's shoulder. Sniper stocks are typically designed to avoid making contact with the barrel of the weapon.

An adjustable sling on the rifle is often employed. It is used by the sniper to achieve better stability when standing, kneeling, or sitting. The sniper uses the sling to "lock-in" by wrapping their non-firing arm into the sling forcing their arm to be still. Sniper rifles usually are fitted with a bipod. These bipods act as a stand to stabilize the rifle during firing. Bipods are generally carried by the spotter or are mounted on the gun. Sniper rifles often have specialized accessories, such as variable length gas- strut bipods.

Comparison of 0.5, 1, and 3 MOA accuracy levels against a human

175. torso at 800 m (left) and a human head at 100 m (right) Contrary to popular belief, sniper rifles are not necessarily characterized by exceptional accuracy, especially when compared to civilian sporting rifles, though they nearly always match or exceed the capabilities of other rifles in the military and police categories. A military-issue battle rifle or assault rifle is usually capable of between 3 and 6 minutes of arc (MOA) accuracy. A standard-issue military sniper rifle is typically capable of 0.5 to 2 MOA accuracy, with a police sniper rifle capable of 0.25 to 1.5 MOA accuracy. For comparison, a competition target rifle may be capable of accuracy levels up to 0.1 MOA.

The United States military standards call for 1 MOA accuracy from a standard issue sniper rifle since accuracy is sacrificed in favor of low cost and reliability in harsh environments, as well as ease of operation and maintenance. This level of accuracy roughly translates into a variance in the bullet's point of impact of 8 inches at 800 yards, which is considered sufficient to ensure a high probability of hitting a human shape at that distance.

Although accuracy standards for police rifles do not widely exist, they are frequently seen with accuracy levels from 1.5 MOA to as high as 0.5 MOA — and occasionally as high as .25 MOA in the most expensive models.

For typical policing situations an accuracy level of 1 MOA is usually all that is required. This is because police typically employ their rifles at very short ranges. At 100 yards or less, a rifle with a relatively low accuracy of only 1 MOA should be able to repeatedly hit a 1-inch target. One inch is approximately the size of a man's thumb, which is smaller than the brain stem, the most prized target of a police sniper.

Unlike police sniper rifles, military sniper rifles tend to be employed at the greatest possible distances so that range advantages like the increased difficulty to spot and engage the sniper can be exploited. However, machine guns, battle rifles, counter-sniper rifles and designated marksman rifles can reach or even exceed the range of a sniper rifle.

The most popular military sniper rifles (in terms of numbers in service) are chambered for .30 calibre ammunition, such as 7.62×51 and 7.62×54R (r=rankin). Since sniper rifles of this class must compete with several other types of military weapons with similar range, snipers invariably must employ skilled field craft to conceal their position.

The recent trend in specialized military sniper rifles is to larger calibres that have greater range, such as the anti- personnel .338 Lapua Magnum cartridge and anti-materiel cartridges like the .50 BMG, 12.7 x 107mm and the 14.5 x 114mm. This allows snipers to take fewer risks, and spend less time finding concealment when facing enemies that are not equipped with similar weapons.

BOOLE: According to Thorne, another difference between the Shia and Sunnis is this: the Sunnis figured the caliph to be a temporal leader, not a divine ruler.

How could Muhammad, the last of all the prophets, have a divine successor ? It made no sense. But it made good sense to the Shias. To them, there always was, and there always will be, the Imam: the divinely appointed leader of the faithful. The first man – Adam – was the first Imam; Abraham was Imam; Moses was Imam. The Imam is chosen by god and has secret knowledge of god (only he knows the “Greatest Name of God”).

To the Shias, the caliph should be the Imam, and the first caliph should be Imam Ali. The leader of the faithful must be a blood relative of Muhammad, and Abu was not.

Yet, Abu became first caliph, not Ali. The split between the Shias and the Sunnis had begun, and so had the strife. Almost 50 years later came the signal event that made the split complete. That event was the Battle of Karbala.

Feuding over who would be, or should be, caliph continued for many years. When the third caliph was assassinated by the son of the first caliph, Imam Ali finally became caliph. But he was assassinated just five years later, and Ali’s rival for the caliphate – Muawiyah – became caliph. Muawiyah made this arrangement with Ali’s sons: if they didn’t challenge him, then either one of them could succeed him as caliph. The Shias hold that Ali’s sons honored the arrangement but Muawiyah reneged: he declared his son, Yazid, to be his successor.

The Shias’ memory of history is that Yazid was a corrupt ruler, a drunkard, and a womanizer. No way could he lead the ummah, the community of the faithful. He was no relation to Muhammad, and was a Muslim in name only, not in thought or action. Ali’s son – Hussein – would have to fight for the position that was rightfully his. There would be yet another battle for the caliphate.

178.

Hussein led a small army to Kufa, the city between Karbala and Najaf that his father, Imam Ali, had made his headquarters. There, he would be joined by thousands of Shias who had pledged their allegiance to Hussein. Yazid learned of Hussein’s plan. As caliph, he ordered his governor in Kufa to dissuade the Shias from joining Hussein. The governor told the Kufans that anyone who supported Hussein would die. He announced that, “By way of punishment, such people will be hanged, their families put to the sword, and their property confiscated.” If anyone has helped him [Hussein] up to now, no harm will come to him as long as the support is withdrawn immediately.”

Word reached Hussein that the Kufans would not support him. He advised his small army that, “Our supporters have withdrawn their support. Whoever wishes to leave and go his own way should do so.” After that, his group dwindled. When they reached Karbala, a village along the Euphrates river, only 72 faithful fighters remained.

Legend holds that Hussein foretold what would happen. He said, “Surely this is where my Holy Grandfather [Muhammad] has prophesied that I, with my faithful companions, shall lay slain after suffering three days of hunger and thirst. We will not move from here; we have reached our destination.” He took his brother, Abbas, around the place, pointing out the very spots where each of them would soon die. Then he addressed the men of the town: “On the tenth of this month you will see our dead bodies lying on this plain with our heads severed and taken away. Please bury us, and when our devotees come to visit our graves, treat them with honour and point out to them the places of our burial.”

Next, he addressed the women of the town: “If your husbands, fearing Yazid, do not bury us, then please encourage them to do so or do it yourselves.” Finally, he addressed the children of the town: “If your parents, fearing Yazid, do not bury us then, by way of playing, bring some earth and throw it on our bodies to hide them.”

Then Yazid’s army appeared: a contingent of 5,000, including many of the Kufans who had sworn their allegiance to Hussein. They blocked the group’s access to the river, cutting them off from water. Their commander demanded that Hussein surrender and swear

179. his allegiance to Yazid. Hussein refused.

Three days later, the battle began right after morning prayers. It went on all day, the combatants pausing only at prayer time. By the afternoon, all the fighting men in his group, all except Hussein, had been killed. Hussein continued to fight. At some point, his wife brought him their six-month-old child who was dying of thirst under the hot desert sun. He held the child in his arms and asked the enemy for water for the baby. In response, one of Yazid’s men fired an arrow, killing the infant.

The lop-sided battle continued until, finally, Hussein was killed. All that were left of his group were some old men, the women, and the children. Yazid’s army beheaded all the men who had fought against them. They trampled the bodies of the dead; they rounded up the women and children and marched them through the desert to Kufa for a parade, and then onto to Damascus for viewing by Yazid. Mounted on their spears were the heads of Hussein and his loyal fighters.

All this was put into history’s texts and nearly settled until America invade Iraq, toppling a modern Sunni leader named Hussein, and setting open a Pandora’s box of Shia-Sunni history that will burn for eternity.

The Persian Shia of Iran have now linked with the Arabic Shia of Iraq, and the vast Sunni majority of the Arab world are scared.

BOOLE: In the Big Bang Theory (BBT), a gravitational singularity is a singularity in the structure of space-time. Roughly, it is a place where quantities which are used to measure the gravitational field become infinite. Such quantities are the curvature of space- time or the density of matter. More accurately, in a space-time with a singularity there are geodesics which cannot be completed in a smooth manner. The limit of such a geodesic is the singularity.

The two most important types of space-time singularities are curvature singularities and conical singularities. Singularities can also be divided according to whether they are covered by a horizon or not ("naked" singularities).

According to general relativity, the Big Bang in the beginning of the universe started as a singularity, where all the universe was a single point. Another type of singularity predicted by general relativity is inside a black hole: any star collapsing beyond a certain point would form a black hole, inside which a singularity (covered by an event horizon) would be formed, as all the matter would flow into a certain point (or a circular line, if the black hole is rotating). These singularities are curvature singularities.

Many theories in physics have mathematical singularities of one kind or another, in which the equations predict that the rate of change of some quantity becomes infinite or increases without limit. This is generally a sign for a missing piece in the theory, as in the Ultraviolet Catastrophe and in renormalization.

The simplest Big Bang cosmological model of the universe contains a causal singularity at the start of time (t=0), where all timelike geodesics have no extensions into the past. Extrapolating backward to this hypothetical time 0 results in a universe of size 0 in all spatial dimensions, infinite density, infinite temperature, and infinite space-time curvature.

181.

Unfortunately, the oldest and perhaps best-known problem of BBT is that of the singularity. At the first instant of the BB universe, in which its density and temperature were infinitely high, is what is known to mathematicians as a singularity. That situation is considered to be a breakdown of theory. That is, it cannot be assumed that the laws of physics as we know them can apply to that event, thus presenting serious questions about it.

In addition, the postulated creation of the entire mass and energy of the universe out of nothing in the first instant of time seems to represent an extreme violation of the law of conservation of mass/energy.

According to prevailing theory, before that instant, space and time did not exist. Although to some, who confuse their religious ideas with science, this is seen as a reasonable interpretation of their religious beliefs, to others the beginning of space and time might represent a significant problem.

If there were a BB, it would seem that events during the first instant of time would involve the instantaneous acceleration of the enormous number of particles (the entire mass) of the universe to relativistic velocity; and some variations of BBT postulate velocities well above the speed of light.(1) Because the acceleration of even a minute particle to the speed of light requires an infinite amount of energy, the BB might have required on the order of an infinity times and infinity of ergs; not to mention the additional energy that would be required to overcome the gravitational attraction of the entire mass of the universe.

It has been suggested that this singularity problem can be solved by postulating a universe of zero net energy;(2) a universe wherein the positive kinetic energy, the potential energy, and the Einsteinian equivalent energy of the mass of the universe is equal and opposite to the negative energy of gravity. Somehow, if the universe is to collapse in the future as some believe all the energy that was expended in the birth and expansion of the BB universe was only borrowed; someday to be paid back. However, that doesn't provide an adequate explanation for the source of the energy requirement described above.

It should be noted that this zero net energy explanation couldn't reasonably be postulated for other than a recollapsing universe.

182.

However, as will be discussed further on, observational evidence has all but ruled out the possibility of the collapsing BB universe case, thus adding to the incredibility of zero net energy; and certainly it would seem that the positive energy of the potential, kinetic and the enormous mass equivalent energy of the of the universe must be far greater than the negative energy of its gravity. For any BB universe case, the postulated zero net energy idea appears to be unrealistic.

Inflation theory has claimed to solve the singularity problem (and other BB problems as well) but it requires an enormous quantum theory vacuum fluctuation and, according to some, an enormous cosmic repulsive force to provide for a BB. These are purely speculative ideas that have no known means of experimental verification.

BOOLE (irritated): Excuse me, people... people settle.

HE: Sorry.

NARRATOR: Yes, truly, continue.

BOOLE: KHAT (KAT) (QAT). Because khat contains ephedrine-like compounds it seems best included in this section [a section on Amphetamines]. Lewin (1931) gave a brief account of khat and how it was used.

Apparently it was taken socially to produce excitation, banish sleep, and promote communication. It was used as a stimulant to dispel feelings of hunger and fatigue.

The natives chewed young buds and fresh leaves of catha edulis (Celastrus edulis). This is a large shrub which can grow to tree size. It originated in Ethiopia and spread until its use covered Kenya, Nyasaland [now Malawi], Uganda, Tanganyika [now Tanzania], Arabia, the Congo, Rhodesia [now Zimbabwe and Zambia], and South Africa. The khat trees are grown interspersed between coffee trees.

Khat was used in Yemen even before coffee and it was immensely popular. Lewin described khat markets to which khat was brought in bundles of branches from the mountains.

NARRATOR: Khat, the cursed plant in Yemen. It has ruined a now soon-to-be drought-stricken and starving nation that refuses to stop growing it and replace it with more wheat and sustenance crops.

WRITTEN ON SCREEN: “And as an opinion to fight the qat Since the qat is an evil and its cure is uneasy Qat is an insult and a shame on us Which is soaking us with mud Qat is a plague and its least harm is Spending hours without a work Qat is a time’s killer and it is an evil

For our youths, old men, and middle-aged men We live in the space era and we no longer Are still living the unenlightened life of camels and mules Our era invades other planets whereas Some of us still walk barefooted” - Poet, Ahmed Al-Mu'alimi, versed this hopeless poem denouncing the qat while apparently stoned to Jesus on it.

BOOLE: Khat contains cathine (d-norpseudoephedrine), cathidine, and cathinine. Cathine is also one of the alkaloids found in Ephedra vulgaris. It is fortunate, perhaps, that khat is also very rich in ascorbic acid which is an excellent antidote to amphetamine-type compounds.

In animals, khat produces excitation and increased motor activity. In humans, it is a stimulant producing a feeling of exaltation, a feeling of being liberated from space and time. It may produce extreme loquacity, inane laughing, and eventually semicoma. It may also be an euphoriant and used chronically can lead to a form of delirium tremens.

Galkin and Mironychev (1964) reported that up to 80% of the adult population of Yemen use khat. Upon first chewing khat, the initial effects were unpleasant and included dizziness, lassitude, tachycardia, and sometimes epigastric pain. Gradually more pleasant feelings replaced these inaugural symptoms. The subjects had feelings of bliss, clarity of thought, and became euphoric and overly energetic. Sometimes khat produced depression, sleepiness, and then deep sleep.

The chronic user tends to be euphoric continually. In rare cases, the subjects became aggressive and overexcited. Galkin and his colleague observed 51 subjects who had taken khat. Of these, 27 became excited, 18 became somnolent, and 6 remained unchanged. The respiratory rate and pulse rate were accelerated and the blood pressure tended to rise. The subjects also had a decrease in the functional capacity of the cardiovascular system.

HE: Or, more succinctly, it's the shit, the bomb, dudes.

NARRATOR: Not so fast Timothy Leary. It is true that khat use "induces a state of euphoria and elation with feelings of

185. increased alertness and arousal." And, in addition to taking khat for the high it produces, users also ingest the plant as a means of fighting fatigue and staving off hunger (the drug also serves as an appetite suppressant).

However, the two primary psychoactive compounds mentioned before in khat are cathinone and cathine:

Cathinone, which is believed to have the greater effect on khat users, is classified as a Schedule I controlled substance in the United States, meaning that in the eyes of the U.S. Drug Enforcement Agency, the substance has a high potential for abuse and no accepted medical value.

Cathine is categorized as a Schedule IV drug, meaning that it has a low potential for abuse, and is currently accepted for use in medical treatment.

Long-term use of khat can lead to malnutrition, depression, gastrointestinal disorders, cardiovascular problems, hemorrhoids, and impaired sexual function in males.

HE: Maybe that explains why they regularly beat their beautiful women with sticks and shun them in Burqas. And Ole’ Mo Mo Hussein just can’t get it up unless she is eight.

Need to know basis. 3) Operations Level - Recruitment, education, funding, and training of lines of operations and functional units therein. Need to know basis. 4) Functional Units - Carry out, to the letter, the strategic plans set out at the Executive Level and disseminated at the Tactical and Operational Levels. Final feedback of MIS to Tactical Level. Need to know basis.

HE: What kind of plan ?

BOOLE: Get everyone on the same page.

HE: Like a book ?

BOOLE: It is more of a program, developed at the Executive Level, readied at the Tactical level, implemented at the Operational Level, and finally carried out independently against targets of opportunity at the will of the Functional Units. The model looks like this:

189.

Mission Statement - ->Strategic Plan--> Strategic Objectives--> Policies / Procedures--> MIS--> Strategic Plan (Review).

HE: What is a Mission Statement ?

BOOLE: Kill the Mass Hypnotist and everyone connected.

WRITTEN ON SCREEN: “Watch out for the fellow who talks about putting things in order ! Putting things in order always means getting other people under your control.“ - Denis Diderot

HE: What the heck happened last night ?

NARRATOR: As no one makes Nova correctly he had to use salmon- flavored cream cheese. Not good.

HE: Had an argument at the Pub. Politics and beer, such a synergy. What were they saying about Jimmy Carter ? He was a great President ? Bull, he single-handedly destroyed the farmers of America; then butchered us in the Tractor Army at Ground Zero the same way Hoover, Gore, Eisenhower, Patton, and MacArthur did the Bonus Army. Yea, he, Reagan, Dole, Clinton, Bush are all in the pocket of those food giants. Single farmers were marked for extinction. Follow the money, that's the key, follow who gets what in subsidies from the insane Farm Bills of today.

NARRATOR: He shakes his head, then looks over to his right. On the coffee table, next to the almost full bag of khat, the phone machine message light is wildly flashing.

HE: Just where were we last night ? Better listen to the messages.

THE ORB: Oh no, don't press it, it must be she.

NARRATOR: He presses the play button. The message is from Janet Heinz-Forbes, his fiance, and she is rather upset as she was awake.

190.

Woman(his fiance Janet whining on the phone machine): Where were you last night ? Don't forget about dinner next week with daddy. He still wants you to work at the bank. Call me.

NARRATOR: She slams the phone.

BOOLE: In China, corrupt business people and politicians are executed.

NARRATOR: Twelve beers, Methocarbomal, Remeron, Xanax, Valium, Temazepam, Demerol, and Ambien: no help, he muttered in the throes of yet another lightning-filled nightmare; soon to be interrupted by nightly calf cramps.

BOOLE: Just who were the Mass Hypnotist Fascists at the Universities of rapists/sophists at anywhere, USA, who had the chutzpah to change Before Christ (BC) and Anno Domini (AD) to Before Common Era (BCE) and After Common Era (ACE) and think somehow those who read and research, wouldn't notice ?

In the name of all that is fair and holy, these are the same liberal, baby boomer, lost generation and generation X and Y women you can't even think about making love to without using condoms with the viscosity of a Space Shuttle Tile. And even those are now suspect.

Has anyone noticed things like this ?

HE: I noticed, thanks to you.

BOOLE: Now get up. There is something you must do.

THE ORB: Stop answering his questions.

BOOLE: Only when he stops asking.

BOOLE: War communism (or military communism) was the economic and political system that existed in the Soviet Russia during the

191.

Russian Civil War, from 1918 to 1921.

According to Soviet historiography, this policy was adopted by the Bolsheviks with the aim of keeping towns and the Red Army supplied with weapons and food, in conditions in which all normal economic mechanisms and relations were being destroyed by the war. "War communism", which began in June 1918, was enforced by the Supreme Economic Council, known as the Vesenkha. It ended on March 21, 1921, with the beginning of the NEP (New Economic Policy), which lasted until 1928.

War communism included the following policies:

All industry was nationalized and strict centralized management was introduced.

State monopoly on foreign trade was introduced.

Discipline for workers was strict, and strikers could be shot.

Obligatory labour duty was imposed onto "non-working classes".

Prodrazvyorstka – requisition of agricultural surpluses from peasants in excess of absolute minimum for centralized distribution among the remaining population.

Food and most commodities were rationed and distributed in a centralized way.

Private enterprise became illegal.

Military-like control of railroads was introduced.

Because all of these measures were implemented in a time of civil war, they were far less coherent and coordinated in practice than they might appear on paper. Large areas of Russia were outside the Bolsheviks' control, and poor communications meant that even those regions loyal to the Bolshevik government often had to act on their own, lacking any orders or central coordination from Moscow. It has long been debated whether "war communism" represented an actual economic policy in the proper sense of the word or merely a set of desperate measures intended to win the civil war at any cost.

192.

The goals of the Bolsheviks in implementing war communism are a matter of controversy. Some commentators, including a number of Bolsheviks, have argued that its sole purpose was to win the war. Lenin, for instance, said that "the confiscation of surpluses from the peasants was a measure with which we were saddled by the imperative conditions of war-time." Other commentators, such as the historian Richard Pipes, have argued that War communism was actually an attempt to immediately implement communist economics and that the Bolshevik leaders expected an immediate and large scale increase in economic output. This view was also held by Nikolai Bukharin, who said that "We conceived War Communism as the universal, so to say 'normal' form of the economic policy of the victorious proletariat and not as being related to the war, that is, conforming to a definite state of the civil war".

War communism aggravated many hardships experienced by the population as a result of the war. Peasants refused to co-operate in producing food, as the government took away far too much of it. Workers began migrating from the cities to the countryside, where the chances to feed oneself were higher, thus further decreasing the possibility of the fair trade of industrial goods for food and worsening the plight of the remaining urban population.

Between 1918 and 1920, Petrograd lost 75% of its population, whilst Moscow lost 50%. A black market emerged in Russia, despite the threat of the martial law against profiteering. The ruble collapsed and was replaced by a system of bartering and, by 1921, heavy industry had fallen to output levels of 20% of those in 1913. 90% of all wages were "paid with goods" (payment in form of goods, rather than money). 70% of locomotives were in need of repair and the food requisitioning, combined with the effects of 7 years of war and a severe drought, contributed to a famine that caused between 3 and 10 million deaths.

As a result, a series of workers' strikes and peasants' rebellions, such as the Tambov rebellion rolled over the country. The turning point was the Kronstadt rebellion at the naval base in early March 1921. The rebellion had a startling effect on Lenin because the Kronstadt sailors had been among the strongest supporters of the Bolsheviks. After the end of the civil war, the policy of War Communism was replaced with the New Economic Policy.

WRITTEN ON SCREEN: "Eternal vigilance is the price of liberty—power is ever stealing from the many to the few…. The hand entrusted with power becomes … the necessary enemy of the people. Only by continual oversight can the democrat in office be prevented from hardening into a despot: only by unintermitted agitation can a people be kept sufficiently awake to principle not to let liberty be smothered in material prosperity." -- Wendell Phillips

NARRATOR: Home alone with nothing but time is dangerous for any person. He was no different.

BOOLE: You were looking for independence, liberty, freedom and justice, so here is a way.

THE ORB: It only takes a vote.

BOOLE: And a political platform.

THE ORB: Either hysteria or hypnotism.

HE: So what kind of political philosophy is that ?

BOOLE: Reject and withdraw from the Republican/Democratic parties. Stay true to platform irrespective of the rationalism.

THE ORB: And vote for Pat Paulsen ?

BOOLE: It is simple. Let me explain each. You can start with the basic tenets. [A flat screen monitor turns on what looks like YouTube.] Watch this video:

NARRATOR: A seemingly innocuous man turns on a camcorder showing just his head. He starts pontificating immediately and loudly. All sans introduction, resume or qualifications.

MAN ON SCREEN: ANTIDISESTABLISHMENTARIANISM - Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, id est, The

194.

Establishment Clause. Nor shall Congress purge religion from public life. Religious conscience must lie outside the reach of the Mass Hypnotist and should have a greater claim upon an individual than does the state or any established religion.

HE: So maybe the Mass Hypnotists will stop fucking with Christians and Christmas.

BOOLE: The Mass Hypnotists come in all guises and forms. Targets of opportunity abound.

MAN ON SCREEN: FEDERALISM - The American system of republican governance in which the people and the states delegate certain well-defined responsibilities to a national government, the powers of which are both separated and limited.

BOOLE: The Electoral College must be saved from the Mass Hypnotist as much as the 17th Amendment -- that has been so perverted by Mass Hypnotists -- must be overturned.

MAN ON SCREEN: STATES RIGHTS - The Constitution both implicitly and explicitly makes state sovereignty fundamental: implicit in the separation of powers, the establishment of the Senate and the Electoral College; explicit both in Article 4, Section 4 -- which guarantees republican state government (and which was a force for national unity)-- and in the 10th Amendment. The 10th Amendment, the coda of the Bill of Rights, verbatim: "The powers not delegated to the United States by the Constitution, nor prohibited by it to the States, are reserved to the States respectively, or to the people."

In other words, the national government, that thing called the United States Government, is the creation of the states, and has been given specific, and limited powers, by the states and is therefore not superior to them except in its specified powers. Define quite clearly that "equality of opportunity" DOES NOT ensure "equality of results."

HE: That takes individual, and cultural teamwork.

MAN ON SCREEN: RETURN GOVERNMENT TO STATES - Use block grant- in-aid to states, while severely limiting federal regulation and

195. administration of money and programs at the state and local levels. Eliminate unfunded mandates. Keep reducing the size and influence of the Mass Hypnotists .

To paraphrase Robert A. Taft, "Such measures would guard the free economy and the free society against Mass Hypnotism, by diminishing the afflictions for which these socialists pretend to offer their radical remedy.

Define regional cultures that might overcome expanding intrusive centralized Federal government of the Mass Hypnotists .

Decentralize the majority of the Federal government to the state, and think in terms of reducing government consolidation and administrative regimes that interfere with basic aspects of American life.

MAN ON SCREEN: LIMITED GOVERNMENT: - Every person should be free, but will never be free or have true liberty unless the power of any state, or federal government is restrained. Make it illegal for any President, Legislature, Jurist, or Governor Mass Hypnotists to shut down, or harass opposition newspapers, jail legal law abiding political opponents, or pass taxes in any form without the consent of the regions affected and only AFTER the reelections of those who have passed the tax measure. Reduce ALL bureaucracies by decree.

MAN ON SCREEN: EXECUTIVE ORDERS - Reverse ALL Executive Orders (EOs), issued by dictatorial, foreign deadbeats, and ALL that are not procedural and administrative. That is what they were designed for. Stop future Mass Hypnotists from ruling from the bully pulpit by passing laws to force executive restraint when issuing EOs; to include congressional simple majority approval and mandatory judicial review of all future EOs.

The rant ends and the screen freezes.

BOOLE (clicking another frozen icon): Now, let’s hear about The Market.

NARRATOR: Another YouTube video of the same man comes on.

196.

MAN ON SCREEN: END STATE CAPITALISM - It has been 80 years of this Depression-Era, Federal Socialism, STAMOCAP nanny state, and we are running out of time, aborted Americans and money.

MAN ON SCREEN: AMERICA FIRST/CONSTITUTIONAL ECONOMICS - The fundamental units of analysis in constitutional economics are the decisions of individuals, and not the federal government or any Mass Hypnotist .

It is the individual's money, not the Mass Hypnotists . Legislatures seem to act in the "public interest" when they spend money other than their own without the people's consent.

However, sound management dictates public choice and competition from the very private sector that provides the revenue to the government. Each and every public good or service, whether it be health services, education, transportation, or defense tends to be expanded well beyond any tolerable. Champion both free markets and traditional Christian values. Increase number the family farms; inner city neighborhood SBA, and overall union jobs.

Bring outsourcing home. Help the reemergence of single family farms and agrarian lifestyles while creating large-scale urban labor industrialization. Oppose Globalism of any sort.

MAN ON SCREEN: ENERGY SELF-SUFFICIENT - In five years America could be completely energy independent, and exporting. And not by Mass Hypnotist NIMBYs controlling thermostats and tire gages; but with agrifuels, NanoTech, MEMS, ceramic and rotary engines, hemp bodies, switch grass, thermal, add commercial U.S. nuclear power plants -- with MOX to lower total surplus Weapons Grade Pu239 worldwide by 100% over five years -- wind, solar, hybrids, coal mining, natural gas, fracking, fracking, fracking and drilling for oil up a caribou's ass and the entire Gulf of Mexico, ANWAR, Montana, oil shale, Keystone Pipeline, etc.

But the collective socialist, progressive Red Terrorist , BCE Fascist Mass Hypnotists want to control us so they are against any new, or old development that might allow personal freedom.

This area could be the perfect way to bring proper choice and Constitutionally economic reparations (as by employment,

197. entitlements, vested shares and ownership not Mass Hypnotist rhetoric) to African-American Blacks (only) and all American Indian tribes (only) and draw them out of the shadows and into the market fully enfranchised in the America-first energy development field.

MAN ON SCREEN: IMF/WTO/UN/ONE WORLD ORDER/NORTH AMERICAN UNION - Gone after cursory review. New York City could use the land anyway. Send the UN to Bern, Switzerland.

MAN ON SCREEN: COMPLETE REVIEWS - GATT, CAFTA, NAFTA, TPP, and MFN - China, Mexico, Vietnam, India, and Pakistan have stolen enough. Denounce the old empire. Revoke a post-cold war foreign policy that includes the UN, WTO, World Bank, and IMF.

MAN ON SCREEN: END ALL FOREIGN AID - Unless catastrophic relief. Gone.

MAN ON SCREEN: STOP ILLEGAL MEXICAN IMMIGRATION - Mass Hypnotists want not only the cheap labor but the socialistic marginal illegal voters. Anchor babies are your drain on Medicaid/Medicare funding, and a major component and draw for the Mexican drug, gangs, crime, and education problems in a nutshell.

NARRATOR: The screen freezes.

BOOLE (clicks on another YouTube video): That done, then let’s have some real reform:

MAN ON SCREEN: REAL WELFARE REFORM - Getting the suddenly voting walk around Mass Hypnotist money to work.

MAN ON SCREEN: REAL SOCIAL SECURITY/MEDICARE/MEDICAID REFORM - Let's not let them use scare tactics, and lies this time. Don't let the Mass Hypnotists do to them what they have already done to us.

MAN ON SCREEN: REAL ELECTION REFORM - Again, abolish 17th Amendment and have state houses elect Senators. Take the matter to the people directly and have their vote count.

198.

MAN ON SCREEN: REAL TAX REFORM - Go back to JFK’s EO 11110, abolish IRS, abolish the Fed, abolish the 16th Amendment ! When you tax Americans on trillion dollars and increase spending $900,000,000 you can jump up and down and say, "See we balanced the budget, and re-defined small government." Bullshit.

Reenact an era of minimal taxation and a massive increase in local government sovereignty. Stops corporatists and hold Wall Street managers, bureaucrats, and politicians accountable for failures and layoffs. Remove Globalist Wall Street money from the political debate.

MAN ON SCREEN: REAL HEALTH-CARE REFORM - A lithium-impaired monkey could generate a better plan than Mass Hypnotists and their neo-socialist comrades. Consider using compulsory military service and the VA for most national health-care.

MAN ON SCREEN: REAL EDUCATION REFORM - Abolish DOE, ransack the NEA, and return money and responsibility to states. Use school vouchers, pay for books and supplies for home schooling, charter schools, allow uniforms in public schools, allow the choice of Catholic education without ANY government interference of Mass Hypnotists and try to impress upon the DOE and NEA that since 1976, the reason American children sank to 50th in math and science scores is NOT school vouchers.

MAN ON SCREEN: WITHDRAW FROM PUBLIC SCHOOLS - Take your children from Mass Hypnotist -run public schools and homeschool them. Replace “multiculturalism” and “bilingual education” with “multi-regionalism.” Defend the nations varied and colorful regional cultures. Celebrate Southern, New England, Urban, Midwestern regionalism. Replace the "great society" with a traditional society.

NARRATOR: The image stops.

BURKE (click on another of the man’s video): And you actually want legal reform ?

MAN ON SCREEN: JUDICIAL REFORM - Stop Judicial Activism/Legal Positivism by limiting the purview of District Courts, District Courts of Appeal and the U.S. Supreme Court. Revoke blanket Writ

199. of Certiorari powers of courts. Introduce term limits for ALL judges as well as accountability.

MAN ON SCREEN: NATIONAL TORT REFORM AND JURY REFORM - Make all Mass Hypnotist pettifoggers pay back the billions they’ve stolen from insurance companies and the doctors they've ruined. Tort reform, jury reform (peer to inquisitorial), national victims rights, national three strike laws, jury nullification/judge/lawyer/parole-board legal and civil accountability for recidivism, life in prison w/o parole for all murderers. Preference of a rural, hierarchal order and non- materialistic things in life.

MAN ON SCREEN: RAPE - Pass laws making the violent crime of rape a war crime internationally, and removing any statues of limitations past or future for any state in the Union. Make Mass Hypnotists the test case.

MAN ON SCREEN: INTERRACIAL VIOLENT CRIME (MURDER/RAPE/ROBBERY/AGGRAVATED ASSAULT/CHILD MOLESTATION- PORN/SPOUSAL and CHILD ABUSE) - Have any crime of interracial or gender difference carry a man/min of 200% of any state statute. Classify all as hate.

MAN ON SCREEN: CIVIL RIGHTS - Extended to ALL Americans. End Affirmative Action and Union grand-fathering.

MAN ON SCREEN: EXPAND THE WAR ON DRUGS - Why is it that big tobacco is evil for pushing legal cigarettes on the world, while places like Columbia, Mexico, the Middle East, Morocco, The Golden Triangle, Pakistan, etc., are not at fault because of the Keynesian-American CONSUMPTION FUNCTION ?

MAN ON SCREEN: TOBACCO LEGISLATION - If tobacco is such a threat that one must EXTORT 10% of the national debt from the companies to pay for socialist, statist health-care then OUTLAW cigarettes like drugs. All the while having the knowledge that people will continue to smoke until they die prematurely AND before ENTITLEMENTS are owed.

MAN ON SCREEN: INVESTIGATE AND PUNISH - INS/IRS/CIA/TLC/CFR/BB/BG/CAIR/FBI/DNC/BLM/ANTIFA/OFA/ACOR

200.

N/ACLU/SPLC/BATF/GAO/CBO/OMB/NSA/HHS/DOD/FED and most all other Federal agencies for Fraud, Waste, and Abuse.

NARRATOR: The video freezes.

BOOLE (clicks another picture): Fight the Mass Hypnotists controlled Culture War:

HE: I see. Change moral sway from "goal-rational" to "value rational."

MAN ON SCREEN: PRO-FAMILY VALUES - Tax and legal support for married heterosexual nuclear families, and ALL working single parents. Provide baby bonds for all pregnant women of American citizenship. Grow social organisms that reflect the good Roman Republic old school of personal pride and a sense of honor, and loyalties to family, clan, and individuals.

MAN ON SCREEN: PRO-LIFE/PRO-NATAL AMENDMENT - The constitutional protection of the unborn child from being murdered, and the banning of euthanasia AND the Death Penalty. Try all abortionists for murder. Even if so-called choice were allowed for any time period with 80,000,000+ abortions since Roe v. Wade in 1972, and over 140,000,000+ since WWII, all replaced by millions of illegal anchor babies.

This national emergency is such that a pro-natal (for American women only) approach need be offered as true choice.

The Democrats and Republicans are far too late in seeing this. Absolutely OUTLAW partial birth abortions. The additional great lie is that: "What if the mother's health is at stake ?" The baby is coming out for Christ's sakes, if they haven't figured it out by then, use a cesarean section. Partial birth abortions have been an out-and-out holocaust, brought to us cheerfully by vindictive, progressive Red Terror ; Spencer to Sanger’s negative eugenics, BCE Fascist, and Mass Hypnotists .

MAN ON SCREEN: PRAYER - The constitutional right to pray where and when you wish.

MAN ON SCREEN: IMMIGRATION - Oppose further Third World

201. immigration and balance it with European-based immigration, especially Eastern Europe, Zimbabwe Rhodesians, South African Afrikaners.

MAN ON SCREEN: DENY ANY IMMIGRATION - To unskilled labor that takes jobs away from inner-city blacks, Indians and rural whites. Invoke a mercantilist trade policy. Fight Globalism that hurts blue-collar, working-class and agrarian families.

MAN ON SCREEN: REWRITE THE 14TH AMENDMENT - It should state absolutely that it only applies to former African Slaves (and their rightful descendents only) before the emancipation proclamation (which was a merely a declaration of war halfway though an illegal invasion) till now.

MAN ON SCREEN: CENSUS - Retake the census if any "sampling" or double counting occurs. Let the reformed INS count every head in this nation and get PROPER ID to verify. This should send the rats fleeing. In addition, nationalize every business that hires the mostly Mexican illegals. That should drive the Mass Hypnotists out of business soon.

BOOLE: A republic IS NOT a Democracy or Empire: Try revisiting the Republic intentions of the Founding Fathers.

WRITTEN ON SCREEN: "A REPUBLIC is a form of government in which people govern themselves, not just periodic voting but by actually taking part in government at all levels all the time and also... by governing themselves in a private, nonpolitical sense. A republic is not an easy form of government to maintain... It requires immense self-discipline... constant and continuous attention and involvement in public affairs, a high enough level of education that citizens can understand and take part in public affairs intelligently and -- most of all -- independence.

Independence means being in a position to take responsibility for yourself and your family and your livelihood; supporting yourself, defending yourself, controlling yourself, governing yourself. Rediscover and teach the chivalry of past ages." - Sam Francis

202.

BOOLE (changes screens): What foreign policy ?:

MAN ON SCREEN: ESTABLISHING A STRONG MILITARY - Get rid of the social engineering, and stop gutting our defense readiness at home. Withdraw ALL troops from outside our borders. Every last one.

MAN ON SCREEN: ALWAYS REMEMBER Sept. 11th - And its Islamic goals, so when 10 million illegal immigrants (now 38,000,000 thanks to Bush/Clinton/Bush cover-up) use hospital emergency rooms as a walk-in clinic, mule and distribute hard drugs from across the border, or don't speak English in our public schools they overcrowd, we go broke, addicted, and stupid real fast. Not to mention the alien anchor babies and that horrific consequence. It is only a matter of time before the Democrats use Aztlandians and racist La Raza against America.

This may be the one time Paleos will support the use of "The Supremacy Clause" in order to fight these "new barbarians" as we will against the old barbarians, the Moslems. Question the wisdom of an industrialized nation engaging in free trade with third world nations like Mexico.

MAN ON SCREEN: REINTRODUCE THE WEINBERGER DOCTRINE: Oppose any war that is not direct a result from actions against our citizens or nation and has a clearly stated goal and contingent time-lines.

NARRATOR: The screen freezes.

BOOLE (clicks the screen): Media bias ?

MAN ON SCREEN: STOPPING POLITICS OF LIBERAL BLAME - Apologize to religious and conservative groups for Mass Hypnotist’s "fallacious" ad hominem attacks via a braying compliant conspiratorial press.

NARRATOR: He turns the video off.

HE: Okay, I get it. That is what should be done.

203.

BOOLE: But they never will, even after all that. There is only one way.

THE ORB: No way. No how. Don’t.

HE (rushing out of the room): Excuse me, I have something to do.

NARRATOR: It never dawned on him that he too may have just been swayed by Mass Hypnotism .

WIPE TO:

01101010001000111111000100001100

NARRATOR: Snapping out of a Qat haze at the park he stares at the stick in his hand.

HE: I am sick of all this practicing at the park with this fag- looking olive branch for my Excalibur . Olive branches don’t kill.

BOOLE: Weapons do. Walk pass the police station, between the buildings, in and out of the woods. Set up escape routes. Use firecrackers as a distraction.

HE: I know, practice, practice, practice day and night.

BOOLE: Remember, in a real life scenario, the target will most likely be moving. This movement adds yet another variable to be dealt with before squeezing off a shot.

Engaging moving targets not only requires the sniper to determine the target's distance and the wind's effects on the round, but he must also consider the lateral speed and angle of the target, the round's time of flight, and the placement of a proper lead to compensate for both. These added variables increase the chance of a miss.

Therefore, the sniper should engage moving targets when it is the only option. To engage moving targets, the sniper must employ the following technique:

204.

Leading - Engaging moving targets requires the sniper to place the crosshairs ahead of the target's movement. The distance the cross hairs are placed in front of the target's movement is called a lead.

There are six factors in determining leads:

1) Speed of the target - As a target moves faster, it will move a greater distance during the bullet's flight. Therefore, the lead increases as the target's speed increases, 2) Angle of movement - A target moving perpendicular to the bullet's flight path moves a greater lateral distance than a target moving at an angle away from or toward the bullet's path. Therefore, a target moving at a 45-degree angle covers less ground than a target moving at a 90-degree angle, 3) Range to target - The farther away a target is, the longer it takes for the bullet to reach it. Therefore, the lead must be increased as the distance to the target increases, and, 4) Wind effects - The sniper must consider how the wind will affect the trajectory of the round. A wind blowing against the target's direction of movement requires less of a lead than a wind blowing in the same direction as the target's movement, 5) Tracking - requires the sniper to establish an aiming point ahead of the target's movement and to maintain it as the weapon is fired. This requires the weapon and body position to be moved while following the target and firing. 6) Trapping or Ambushing - This is the sniper's preferred method of engaging moving targets. The sniper must establish an aiming point ahead of the target and squeeze the trigger when the target reaches it. This method allows the sniper's body to remain motionless.

Firing a snapshot - A sniper uses this technique to engage a target that only presents itself briefly, then resumes cover. Once he establishes a pattern, he can aim in the vicinity of the targets expected appearance and fire a snap shot at the moment of exposure.

Leads are calculated in the following manner:

1) Time of flight ( in seconds ) x target speed ( in feet per seconds / fps ) = lead ( in feet ), then

205.

2) Take lead ( in feet ) x .3048 = meters, next 3) Take meters x 1000 = mil., and 4) Then divide lead by range.

Time of flight is usually: 100m = .1 sec, 200m = .2, 300m = .4, 500m = .7, 600m = .9, 700m = 1.0, 800m = 1.3, 900m = 1.5, and 1000m =1.8

Target speed at a slow gait = 1fps, fast gait = 2fps, slow walk = 4fps, fast walk = 6fps, run = 11fps.

BOOLE: And knowing all this, what do you do if the Mass Hypnotist is moving ?

HE: If it is not stationary, I will abort until such time.

NARRATOR: Back in his car at his workplace, his mood grows angry.

HE (screaming loudly to himself): I agree. JFK was a great President and he got whacked (slang) for Executive Order 11110. Got whacked for the sake of floating currency !

THE ORB: Get the Valium.

BOOLE: Bimetallism, only it was a penalty of death for the man who followed the law. The Fed would have been eliminated by JFK's Silver Certificates. Metal-ism would win and the Federal Reserve Note would be as worthless as it is. Since 1963, almost all of our National Debt has been rung up. Five months after JFK was murdered, the issuing of the Silver Certificates stopped. There is no justice, no justice like my work, and they are going to pay for being a pack of turkeys.

THE ORB: Don't do it. They'll lock you up and throw away the key. In America, no one rich, famous, or powerful; no President, no General, no politician, no CEO, is ever really held accountable for anything. Face it, eventually they all get pardoned. Only poor saps like you are punished.

HE: Yea but they won't starve me to death unless made an invalid

206. by a spouse's failed murder attempt. Judicial activists and stare decisis be thy name.

THE ORB: Can relate to that and there's cable and conjugal visits too; however, there is the downside of the mop-head issue.

HE (with sudden realization): That's where we were last night, Heinhold's ! We talked about Miss Mortenson.

THE ORB: You could have just asked. America rewards the offspring of the cover-up: Hale Boggs's daughter gets a TV show, as does Jerry Ford's kids.

HE: And yet the popular theme is that one nutcase, or a bunch of Castro-hating, Bircher John, Torch-Town Trilogy, Log Cabin Republicans murdered JFK, riiiiight.

THE ORB: Was Lincoln the first 'Log Cabin' Republican ?

NARRATOR: He laughs loudly to himself, as that was that RoTfLoLf funny.

BOOLE: That, for sure, would’ve made Sobran happy.

HE: Well, Carter didn't do it, no balls, all lust.

BOOLE: Can you name one good thing Carter did ? Words harder to muster than for the Hamas PR representative. Don't say the Mideast Peace Accord.

THE ORB (in a deadpan tone): The Mideast Peace Accord.

BOOLE: Oh, that's great, and boy did it last. Sadat didn't enjoy the Wahabbi's/Muslim Brotherhood first strike parade, did he ? Gratis the house of Saud. And what about the Panama Canal ? China controls it now, so it's goodbye Monroe Doctrine.

BOOLE: Deadpan often masks outright cynicism.

THE ORB: Ah yes, the yellow peril of London.

BOOLE: Sure, make fun; now where was I ? Oh, other notable Carter

207. contributions included Billy Beer. A nation held hostage 444 days in Iran. Stagflation for the first time in history. We never had high unemployment and high inflation at the same time. That's impossible, right ? Then there was that boycott of the 1980 Olympics. What about the department of education and the demise of public education ? The Libyan connection. Tractorcade ass-kicked like the Bonus Army. The 25,000 criminals given to us by his baseball buddy, Fidel. The 'malaise' speech. That “I'll Never Lie To You” clap-trap of a “Little Red Book.” Even the Three Mile Island nuke disaster happened under his watch. Carter was a nuclear engineer, yet he still screwed up the now defunct department of energy and Nuclear Regulatory Commission.

NARRATOR: The Orb fills his room with a blue-green haze as his time warps away to a happy place.

WRITTEN ON SCREEN: “Vaughn Meader is screwed !” - Lenny Bruce

NARRATOR: On the night of November 22nd, 1963, comedian Lenny Bruce uttered that first line after he walked out on the stage for his act.

BRUCE: The audience howled.

NARRATOR: His favorite Pub ever, The First and Last Chance, was originally called J.M. Heinhold's Saloon, on 50 Webster Street, Oakland, CA now located in Jack London Square. It was built in the 1880s from the timbers of old whaling ships. Its named was changed in the 1920s and was derived from the fact that at the time the Port of Oakland was the last bar ferry passengers and later soldiers going off to WWII were able to get a drink for good luck before boarding a ship and was the first bar to greet their return.

He stepped in not remembering it as his last trip back hadn’t been for some time.

What is noticed first was the combinations of smells: the stink of unclean sailors, harlots and other politicians, pundits, poets and

208. writers; the tar smell of a blacker than black creosote-soaked ceiling covered in faded, unclaimed currency of ghost soldiers -- it was a ceiling blacker than any dark matter he had seen -- a by- product of the constant coating of the ship timber used to build it with creosote and the smoke from the stove; oil and gas from lamps used for lighting; smoke from the stove used for warmth; stale beer, tobacco juice, and John Barleycorn; and the pungent nausea that only cigarette and cigar smoke can cause.

He was home.

From the doorway, the ceiling was peppered in currency, most American, from different ages, different times but with the same theme.

As a good luck talisman, servicemen would leave this money tacked on the ceiling with their name written on it. Thus, ensuring they would be able to buy a drink when they landed back on shore from Mr. Roosevelt's War. Now the ghosts of the thousands of unclaimed dollars hung there as sad reminders of lost youth and thousands of tear-soaked Imperial handkerchiefs and folded flags.

As of last night, it had not changed in decor. Still a tiny place, six stools cut to angle the sunken floor, next to a curio cabinet full of liquors and memorabilia, and three tables.

Old man Heinhold had been in business for 23 years when the big one struck in 1906 destroying San Francisco and leaving the floor of the saloon tilted at almost a 30-degree angle. Even the clock stopped, still registering at the exact time of the quake.

Seated at the bar were six sailors. The oldest, in his 30s, sat proudly at the top stool. His hair and sideburns were cut like a 1960’s Elvis Presley, and he wore a buttoned-up blue navel uniform with fluffed white ascot -- trimmed in gold, with large golden epaulets, shiny jackboots -- and a magnificent Captain’s sheathed sword by his side. The other five men dressed as ordinary seamen: white bell-bottom, stripped shirts and seaman’s hats.

The Pub was still as it was. The currency of many lands; from the many lost sailors, soldiers and airmen lost to useless wars decorated the ceilings. As too were the walls with old San Francisco Chronicle and Oakland Tribune newspapers town-crying the

209. events of the past, a deer head called Seigy, a spiny blowfish, even worn business cards from old man Kaiser himself.

License plates and photos of the famous, and infamous, also crowded the nearly full walls and the original gaslights still illuminated the saloon; as did the original, working pot-bellied stove that served as the only source of heat.

All the furnishing: chairs, tables, and worn through railing were in near pristine 1906 order. And the joint was always packed.

Only two women were there. One woman, he noticed right off, was sitting at the end table. Though seemingly chinless she was strikingly pretty, small in stature, dressed in a casual strapped, black dress; yet she gave the immediate first impression of being a tough, femme fatale, circa 1950’s, brunette reporter-looking dame. She looked at him immediately as if sizing him up in a nanosecond.

Seated with her was a young boy, not even a teen as yet, in turn- of-the-century clothes from his corduroy dungarees to his knit cap The boy was studying the six sailors at the bar feverishly while taking notes on the stories they told.

Beside him was a real mean-looking Jew dude. A 40ish Mafia-like man with slicked back black hair, a fancy suit with fedora, and the omnipresent bottle of scotch.

OLD JACK (screaming, near tears): No way, Dorothy ! No way they did that to you, to her, no way.

DOROTHY (turning to the bar crowd): Easy, Sparky. Seems Old Jack was strangely attracted to JFK.

NARRATOR: The group of three at the table next to her laugh as she begins drinking straight whiskey and talking to the man while the young boy continued observing the human condition and taking notes.

Standing tall and playing music by himself at the second table was a lone bass player, a thin, hippy-looking man with shoulder length hair and a white sweatband.

210.

Seated at that same table was an older, drunk New England-looking yuppie and a rather pretty, young woman with curly reddish hair. They were sitting on both sides of the table looking at the bassist standing above.

The drunk New England-looking yuppie is singing -- in a JFK sounding voice -- to the bass player’s Jamaican version of “She’s Leaving Home” by the Beatles. And intermittently, the yuppie starts doing various and sundry JFK imitations much to the dismay of Old Jack and Dorothy.

DOROTHY: How life has worked against both him and the First Family.

OLD JACK: He was screwed, like her, and you.

DOROTHY: Versus the others who were rewarded for it: Bill Moyers, Jack Valenti, Cokie Roberts, Jack Ford and on, and on, and on.

NARRATOR: The virtuosity of his bass play overpowers the bar, evident on the acoustic upright bass that was also unique in that it was fretless.

Seated at the last table were three older men talking politics. One was a fat, dapper, jocular 300-pound whale of a man in a neatly pressed suit, with short hair and a large white mustache. One of the other men, whose wavy, combed-back hair and well- groomed handlebar mustache separated him from the others, then spoke.

BIERCE: What I am saying is this is good-bye —- if you hear of my being stood up against a Mexican stone wall and shot to rags please know that I think that a pretty good way to depart this life. It beats old age, disease, or falling down the cellar stairs. To be an Old Gringo in Mexico —- ah, that is euthanasia.

NARRATOR: The third man at the table, who seems the brightest of the bunch, yet also the meekest and least traveled of the group. His voice was weak as if his lungs were constricting his Scottish accent. His skin was an almost snow white complexion, with shoulder length slick black hair, party slightly to the right side, and a poorly groomed handlebar mustache.

211.

Louie (musing): Be careful what you say, bitter man, lest you be accused of foreshadowing yet another mystery.

NARRATOR: At the bar and sitting slightly askew was the noble- looking sailor, a hero perhaps, not just of this age, but any. He had five of his men with him and they were discussing something important, not for his ears. But the young boy was listening and they paid neither he, nor anyone, any mind, it was as if they were talking to him.

Enter a brash, pale, effeminate-looking man dressed in ostentatious, flowery Elizabethan garb -- sword also to his side -- who boldly moves in between the Captain and one of the sailors and slams his fist on the bar.

MARLOWE (boisterous): Give me a pint of your best ale !

THE ORB: Let's get a drink. This ought to be good.

NARRATOR: He forgets about the drop, falls and rolls down the entrance.

THE ORB: Make it a double, Mister Miller.

NARRATOR: He stood to the applause of the cheering patrons and approached the bar cautiously just as a crusty, elderly man came forward to serve him.

It was Johnny, the Boss Barkeeper, also know as the Swamper.

SWAMPER: What'll you be havin’ ?

BOOLE: Oh my, how the mind cannot keep up with the times.

HE: Miller Lite draft and a double pussy juice shooter.

NARRATOR: The Orb and Boole are laughing so loud it briefly drowns out the Bass Player's rhythms and his ears get a threshold shift.

THE ORB: Look around, you moron.

212.

BOOLE: Dude, the bar patrons are falling down from both ale and laughter.

SWAMPER (in a mock Irish accent): What was that you were saying ? Is that last one an Irish drink ?

NARRATOR: From the far table the striking little brunette chimes in.

DOROTHY: Get the novice a pint of our best Guinness stout with a back of Jenny's Tullamore Dew Irish whiskey.

HE: Yes, that'll be fine.

NARRATOR: The Boss Barkeeper takes his time. Doing the proper Guinness pour smoothly and with a shamrock on top takes time and Johnny was a pro.

Just as the Boss Barkeeper is about to serve him his perfectly poured pint and whiskey-back the lead sailor, the Captain at the bar begins arguing with the impish, effete, Elizabethan patron who has imposed himself.

DECATUR: Sir, you have the manners a Kenyan goat-herder.

MARLOWE: Better the manners of a Kenyan goat-herder than the smell of one.

NARRATOR: The Captain stands, hand on his still-sheathed sword.

DECATUR: You sir, are surely a scoundrel. The sort of stuff a spy is made of.

NARRATOR: The effeminately-clad patron slams down his pint, stands erect, steps back and draws his sword just as the rising Captain does his.

MARLOWE: And you, oh Captain, my Captain, will not assassinate me today.

DECATUR: So, you think me an agent of Walsingham ? Oh, the plight of a bloody Catholic sympathizer.

213.

NARRATOR: The bar lets out a collective gasp as the Catholic sympathizer mocking nods his head.

MARLOWE: Better to be sure, than dead.

NARRATOR: The bass player, oblivious to the goings on, increases the tempo as both men go on guard and tap each other’s sword in the middle of the small bar.

The curly haired woman and New England yuppie woman stand and rush out of harm’s way just as the Old Barkeep comes round with a derringer pistol.

SWAMPER (cocking the weapon): I got me two shots here boys. Who be first ?

NARRATOR: From the back table Dorothy rises. Standing tall despite being below five feet and slamming her petite fist on the table while she barks orders.

DOROTHY: You two assholes stop that. I mean every damn time.

NARRATOR: The two dueling swordsmen bow to her, sheath their blades and return to drinking in separate areas -- the Catholic sympathizer to the table with the bass player, who pays him no mind, and the Captain to his top bar stool -- as the Boss Barkeeper goes back behind the bar to collect for his stout and shot.

SWAMPER: That'll be 10 cents, young 'en.

NARRATOR: He flips a quarter on the bar. Johnny looks at it oddly.

SWAMPER (doing an even more obvious Popeye imitation now): This ain't silver or gold. What is you trying to pull ? You either got pieces of eight, doubloons, ducats, a gold earring, pences shillings or pounds, a Silver Certificate, or nothing doing.

NARRATOR: He reaches into his pocket and pulls out a handful of silver coins he did not know he had.

214.

HE: Sorry, here is a silver dollar.

SWAMPER: That's better. [Pauses and stares at the coin.] Who is this ? A real silver man I bet.

HE: It's a Kennedy silver dollar.

NARRATOR: The Boss Barkeeper yells to the still-standing, bossy woman.

SWAMPER: Hey, Queen of The Silver Dollar, is this Kennedy thing okay ?

NARRATOR: She and Old Jack stare at each other, then laugh out loud.

DOROTHY: That'll work for here, Johnny. [Turns to the large guy sitting with the other two at the next table.] Hey fatso, seems the Cowardly Lion has influenced them after all. [Stands, and hoists her glass.] Everybody, stand for a toast.

NARRATOR: All the regular patrons raise their glass as Dorothy leads them.

THE BAR (unison): All praise to the Cowardly Lion and L. Frank Baum !

WRITTEN ON SCREEN: "The true danger is when liberty is nibbled away, for expedience, and by parts." -- Edmund Burke, Irish philosopher, and statesman

BRYAN: Mr. Chairman and Gentlemen of the Convention: I would be presumptuous, indeed, to present myself against the distinguished gentlemen to whom you have listened if this were a mere measuring of abilities; but this is not a contest between person. The humblest citizen in all the land, when clad in the armor of a righteous cause, is stronger than all the hosts of error. I came to speak to you in defense of a cause as holy as the cause of

215. liberty-the cause of humanity.

Never before in the history of American politics has a great issue been fought out as this issue has been, by the voter of a great party.

The gentleman who preceded me, ex-Governor Russell who spoke of the State of Massachusetts; let me assure him that not one present in all this convention entertains the least hostility to the people of the State of Massachusetts, but we stand here representing people who are equals, before the law, of the greatest citizens in the State of Massachusetts. When you gold delegate come before us and tell us that we are about the disturb your business interest, we reply that you have disturbed our business interests by your course.

The farmer who goes forth in the morning and toils all day-who begins in the spring and toils all summer-and who by application of brain and muscle to the natural resources of the country creates wealth is no brainless scarecrow as the eastern jingoists would state, but his reward, like that of the common laborer is to have it robbed by the deflating aspects of dropping free silver and bowing to the Gold Standard. If the gold standard is a good thing, why is it not the standard for all of civilization ? More than that; we can tell them that if they search the pages of history in vain to find a single instance where the innocent, common people of any midland have ever declared themselves in favor of the gold standard over free silver they will find only those entrenched in wealth, and who are holders of fixed investment are in favor of the gold standard.

The gentleman from Wisconsin, Senator Vilas, has said that he fears a Robespierre. My friends, in this land of the free you need not fear that a tyrant will spring up from among the people. What we need is an Andrew Jackson to stand, as Jackson stood, against the encroachments of the organized wealth of the heartless eastern industrialists.

They tell us that this platform was made to catch votes. We reply that changing conditions make new issues; that the principles upon

216. which Democracy rests are as everlasting as the hills, but that they must be applied to new conditions as they arise. Conditions have arisen, and we are here to meet those conditions. They tells us that the income tax ought not to be brought here; that is a new idea. They criticize us for our criticism of the Supreme Court of the United States. My friends, we have not criticized; we have simply called attention to what you already know.

If you want criticism read the dissenting opinion of the court. There you will find just criticisms. They say we passed an unconstitutional law; we deny it. The income tax law was not unconstitutional when it was passed; it was not unconstitutional when it went before the Supreme Court the first time; it did not become unconstitutional until one of the judges changed his mind, and we cannot be expected to know a judge will change his mind.

Let the people decide what is unconstitutional.

You come to us and tell us that the great cities are in favor of the gold standard; we reply that the great cities rest upon the broad and fertile prairies. Burn down your cities and leave our farms and your cities will spring up again as if by magic; but destroy our farms and the grass will grow in the streets of every city in the country.

Having behind us the producing masses of this nation and the world, supported by the commercial interests, the laboring interests, and the toilers everywhere, we will answer their demand for a gold standard by saying to them: You shall not press down upon the brow of labor this crown of thorns, you shall not crucify mankind upon a cross of gold.

OLD JACK (in a menacing Mafia tone): We are stuck here because of fat-ass there and his Eastern cronies.

DOROTHY: Go easy on him. He is too stupid. I can read people in a second and he doesn't have it in him.

217.

OLD JACK: If you say so, it is so, Dorothy.

NARRATOR: The Swamper Cash-Register counts out the change, all silver and gives him his well-poured shot and beer.

SWAMPER: Me place is packed, the Queen of the Silver Dollar and two Jacks will let you sit with them. Welcome to the hangout of the Oyster Pirates, boyo.

NARRATOR: He hears the sailors at the bar calling the head of the group Captain Stephen as they quietly discuss the Barbary Pirates. He had already thought better than kibitz with the swordsman captain and his sailors and decided it better to follow the barkeep’s advice and carefully approach the table where the woman and child sat.

HE: Ma'am, may I sit with you ?

NARRATOR: The waif-like woman looks up, and unlike her size, glares at him with such intensity it was as if she were staring right through him, looking inside him for the truth. He had seen her do that before but couldn't figure out where, or what her line was.

DOROTHY (with a cold glaze): If you must. Do you have a name, novice ?

HE: Yes, ma'am, do you ?

NARRATOR: His sharp yet smart-ass retort somehow brought joy to the now-smiling woman.

DOROTHY (warmly voicing approval): Dorothy. [Points to the boy.] This is my apprentice, Young John. The other fella here is my last interviewee, Old Jack. He and I were just having a good laugh at how similar and close our passings were.

HE: The young boy introduces himself.

YOUNG JOHN: Hello sir, my name is John Griffith Chaney.

HE: Please to meet you. Young Mister Chaney, is it ?

218.

DOROTHY: We are thinking of changing it to something more worldly.

YOUNG JOHN: Miss Dorothy is helping me with my observation skills.

HE: Good to meet you all. [Looks around.] The place is as packed as London pub.

NARRATOR: Miss Dorothy sees Young John’s eyes light up as she studies him.

DOROTHY: They come by to hear Jaco play the bass.

HE: Who ?

NARRATOR: From the table where the virtuoso bassist was playing the New England yuppie and curly-haired woman turn and put a finger to their lips as if to tell them to “Shhhh !” they are trying to listen to Jaco.

DOROTHY (lowered voice and matter-of-factly): Jaco, the greatest of his kind. Just leave him be and let him play.

HE: Yes, ma'am. [Looks at Young John.] Is it okay to drink in front of the boy ?

DOROTHY (laughing): If I can take a Seconal and shot of bourbon you can sip that stout and whiskey.

HE: Who are these people ? They seem familiar.

THE ORB: So did the Manson Family.

SWAMPER (yelling): Don't ask Miss Dorothy too many questions. She usually does the questionin’.

NARRATOR: Jaco gets an annoyed look, then stops plucking and thumping. The bar patrons all go “Shhhhh !” to the Swamper.

Dorothy starts to stand to deliver introductions. Young John is laughing because he has seen this behavior before and notes it in on his paper.

219.

HE: No, no, that wasn't I, it was....

YOUNG JOHN: Too late, friend.

DOROTHY (loudly): Pardon me, everyone. [To the bassist.] Jaco, just one minute and you’ll have the quiet you need. [Pointing as she talks.] Intros, please. Seated at the bar is Captain Stephen and his band of merry raiders.

NARRATOR: Captain Stephen and his men raise mugs of ale.

DECATUR (stands and yells with gusto): To our country, right or wrong, the fewer the men the greater the glory !

NARRATOR: The bar applause, lifts a toast and hollers in unison.

THE BAR (unison): Our country, right or wrong !

NARRATOR: Dorothy motions to the table where Jaco is again jamming hard.

DOROTHY: You know Jaco of course.

NARRATOR: Jaco nods at him and simply presses on playing very softly, sans words as was his trait.

DOROTHY: Next to Jaco are our dear friends, Vaughn, a likable New England yuppie, and the comely Miss Boreman. [Points to the next table.] Next to them, the fat man is the Gold Cross himself, W.H., or “T” for short. Our resident President, again delivering his standard anti-Cowardly Lion, anti-free silver, pro mono-metal clap- trap to anyone who will listen. In this case, that's Old Gringo and Louie seated with him today.

NARRATOR: Always the rotund rascal of a resident President, he lifts his glass again.

RESIDENT PRESIDENT: Here's to the Cowardly Lion and death to any free silver president who would defy the eastern Robber Barons !

NARRATOR: The patrons yell and toast in unison.

220.

THE BAR (unison): To the Cowardly Lion !

THE ORB: These guys would toast a resoundingly loud fart.

NARRATOR: They accept the challenge and toast in unison.

THE BAR (unison): To a resoundingly loud fart !

MARLOWE (excited, chiming in): That’s it, it is exactly what his play needs. Farting is such sweet sorrow !

NARRATOR: The bar howls.

DOROTHY (with a wry comic grin crossing here thin lips): Johnny also needs the cash flow, and that whale can run up a tab. [Stops and turns to him.] Everyone, meet, ah what did you say your name was again ?

THE ORB: He didn't.

NARRATOR: He gets up and addresses all the patrons.

HE (loudly): Gald to meet y’all. Now what was that you were saying about Jimmy Carter ?

NARRATOR: You could hear a silver dollar drop as a dead hush smothers the once lively bar. Jaco stops playing and shrinks in terror. The entire bar is now dead quiet.

As her table, Dorothy drops like dead weight into her chair as she gasps in horror; unable to muster words she holds young John's ears.

Old Jack pulls out his concealed pistol.

The only sounds that echo in the once shaking bar are Captain Stephen and his men standing while the Captain draws his flint- lock pistol.

Old Gringo and Louie drop their pens and the resident President spits out his ale.

221.

They all stand at once, pints in hand, lift the elbows high and yell in unison.

THE BAR (unison): To Jimmy Carter. What an asshole !

01110001010010001111000011101101

BOOLE: During World War II, between 500,000 and 1.2 million Serbs were killed.

WRITTEN ON SCREEN: “Wow, there sure were a lot of Gypsies and Queers in Serbia, huh ? – HE

Following the invasion of the Kingdom of Yugoslavia in 1941, the Kingdom was divided into several occupation zones. A rump Serbia remained, following the country's dismemberment. The territory was divided among the occupiers as follows:

Third Reich - Slovenia was included in the Reich and Banat, while occupied and separated from Serbia.

Hungary occupied the Backa, Baranja, Medimurje, and Prekmurje. Bulgaria occupied the south (including the territory of today's Republic of Macedonia).

Italy occupied Montenegro (which included much of today's southern Serbia) and also territory including the province of Kosovo in which Albanians formed a majority, and which was governed as an entity together with the reoccupied Albania.

The small rump of Serbia itself was under German military occupation.

A Nazi puppet state was established, under Ustaša rule, which embraced most of the territory of present-day Croatia and the whole of Bosnia and Herzegovina. This Axis satellite was known as the NDH (Nezavisna Država Hrvatska) or the Independent State of Croatia.

In Croatia, under its leader Ante Pavelic the Ustaša subjected ethnic Serbs, together with much smaller minorities of Jews and

222.

Roma, to a campaign of genocidal persecution. Estimates for the number of Serbs killed in WWII vary between 500,000 and 1.2 million. Of that number the Ustaše, according to United States Holocaust Memorial Museum, killed 330,000–390,000 ethnic Serbs in Bosnia and Herzegovina and Croatia.

Senior German officers and diplomats in the region cited figures up to twice as high. For instance, Hitler's high plenipotentiary in SE Europe, Hermann Neubacher, later wrote: "When leading Ustaše state that one million Orthodox Serbs (including babies, children, women and old men) were slaughtered, this, in my opinion is a boasting exaggeration. On the basis of reports I received, I estimated that three quarters of a million defenceless people were slaughtered."

In Serbia, in October, 1941, alone, the German occupying army killed 2,500 to 5,000 people in the Kragujevac massacre.

During the four years of their occupation of Serbia, Axis forces committed numerous war crimes against the civilian population in Vojvodina where about 50,000 people were murdered and about 280,000 arrested, violated or tortured. The victims were mostly Serbs but also included Jews and Roma.

In Kosovo, During World War II, with the fall of Yugoslavia in 1941, Italians placed the land inhabited by ethnic Albanians under the jurisdiction of an Albanian quisling government. That included Kosovo.

Mustafa Kruja, the then-Prime Minister of Albania, was in Kosovo in June 1942, and at a meeting with the Albanian leaders of Kosovo, he said:

WRITTEN ON SCREEN: "We should endeavor to ensure that the Serb population of Kosovo be – the area be cleansed of them and all Serbs who had been living there for centuries should be termed colonialists and sent to concentration camps in Albania. The Serb settlers should be killed”- Mustafa Kruja

HE: And we bombed Serbia into submission twice so Clinton and Bush could be a hero to these same ethnic-cleansing murderers.

223.

BOOLE: Yes, yes they did. They along with the BCE Fascists that rule them.

10111001001011110010100011001110

HE: Screw 'em, and the Georgia Mafia too. Let him build some socialistic houses. [Stops in mid-sentence.] Hold on, look at the television.

THE ORB: Is it a Bobby Milk movie ?

HE: Who ? Telly said that.

NARRATOR: On TV, a gangster movie was showing. He didn't know the title, only that a bunch of Italians were acting, and that was enough.

They were all there. He always wanted to be an actor, and even thought of changing his last name to something-Italian/Mafia like Gambino, D'Alesandro, Anastasia, Stallone, DiMaggio, Bonano, Costello, Salerno, Fonzi, Corleone, Coppola, Rizzoto, Valachi, Alto, Soprano, Sorvino, Castellano, Shandling's slut, Gandolfini, Ruggiero, Gambino, Maranzano, Luchese, Columbo, Masseria, Brando, Genovese, Gotti, Scorsese, Gigante, Pacino, Cappicola, Brasco, Gallo, Luciano, Dellacorce, Profaci, Mineo, DeCaprio or Milk.

But they, they were all already taken. So, he gave up on acting and he decided to try his hand at the writing game.

THE ORB: Bad move. Wonder why nobody ever wanted to call himself Bobby Milk ?

NARRATOR: So he decided to settle on that name.

THE ORB: Now that is what you want to do, isn't it ?

HE: More than dreams would allow.

10101100100001110100101001000101

224.

NARRATOR: After Telly had gone, he chews a Qat stick and drifts off to a narcotic-induced tranquility.

A split second later he is startled by what sounds like lightning hitting a line of rumbling Abrams M1A1 tanks.

One true night terror.

But in reality is was 12 other Harleys, all Softails, parked and revving their engines outside his door. How they got there and parked in front so fast he could not figure.

Just as he peers outside, the leader lifts a large curved sword and points it at him.

THE ORB (concerned voice): Oh shit, it’s the Caliphs. That must be Ali in front with the sword.

HE: Telly had named the Caliphs and their menacing leader: Ali.

NARRATOR: Behind Ali were the aforementioned Aban, Abbad, Aziz, Abdus, Ahmad, ‘Allan, Ammar, Anas, Aqil, and Ayyub.

NARRATOR: Behind him, he hears a familiar voice.

HABIB (standing with three other bearded Imams): They’ve have come for the prayer rug.

HE (shocked and relieved): Habib !

HABIB: Telly sent us four to sneak around back to guard you.

HE: The rug ? Well, at least it’s not the dope.

NARRATOR: The Imams laugh.

HABIB: That too. They are Yemeni, after all.

NARRATOR: He continues peering through the window as the Caliphs; who are just sitting in front of his house racing their engines and polishing their long crescent swords.

225.

Ali again pulls out his crescent sword, gets off his Softtail and stares menacingly at him.

Bathed in a sudden sweat, he closes the drapes quickly, turns off the lights, and runs out back.

As he walks around in a breathless panic he hears the 12 Caliphs ride off as not so silently -- potatoe to potatoe -- as they had arrived. The four Imams follow, out of view, on their Touring Harleys.

HABIB: We must go my friend. We will see you at Booby Milk’s where the final battle will be fought at the child of Karbala: Matlacha.

01101111010110011000110001000111

NARRATOR: He hates Jungian typecasts as his was a feeling, sensitive, introvert. It's time to act but he was seemingly still dependent upon the thoughts and wisdom of all the philosophers misquoted for time immemorial in some vain attempt to dispel the widely held opinion that all of us are nothing more than sophists.

Or political pundits.

Regardless, he, like all, failed miserably, always sounding like a Flannery O'Connor short story. Then he struck a deal with the Lord. In order to redeem myself for 30 years of sin he was going to give up something for Lent: progressive Red Terrorists .

THE ORB: Progressive Red Terror ? He’s not even Catholic. How about having him destroy his private collection of that slut Tracy Lords’ underage porno videos ? He'll not only be in good with the Lord Himself but out of trouble with the polic. Right there, boyo ?

NARRATOR: He just hasn't been the same since he woke to find himself looking like any average, every day, working with impunity, heretofore undiscovered, currently striking terror in three states, serial killer; merely an aged, recalcitrant, recidivist, FSP D-block parolee; or a lost in the New York that is life, Chattahoochee Hotel-Silly escapee.

226.

To make matters worse he found hair in his right ear. Not an odd hair, no, no, no, no ! These hairs were so long that Vegans from Vega -- not vegans from Berkeley -- could cut crop circles in the matted mess.

THE ORB: Don’t get me started on his bushel of nose hairs. A turbo hedge-trimmer would bog down in that twisted, sick-looking weed that was not even worthy of corn-row dreads.

BOOLE: So you’re saying he is single.

01100001101011100001111010110010

ON SCREEN: “Women, can’t live them, can’t think with them.” - HE

NARRATOR: It was always difficult for him to think when a hot woman had her warm tongue in his crusty, wax-filled, hirsute ears. This was no different.

Dulcinea (whispers in a warm, full breath): I've got the taste.

HE (jumps out of his seat pointing upwards): Barkeeper ! Three hooters, I mean shooters, and another pitcher. What shall they be, Chin ?

CHIN: Ladies' choice.

Dulcinea: Make that five pussy juices. Join us.

CHIN: What was that ? Did she just order five shots of pussy juice ?

THE ORB: Now that is something Sadie Hawkins wouldn't approve of.

HE: Dulcinea, do you want to hear about a fish I almost caught that was worth $100,000 dollars ?

THE ORB: Hey, Brokeback ! Is now a good time for a Fistory ?

Dulcinea: No. [Cooing on while rubbing her perfect ass in his numb

227. lap.] I just love pussy juice shooters, I want the share them with my best friends.

NARRATOR: She signals two hot girls who were just walking, and working, the floor.

While waiting on her companions, Dulcinea puts on her sexiest voice.

Dulcinea: I am so mad at the nerve of that demanding Janet. Do you want me to give her a sound disciplinary spanking for you ?

NARRATOR: Chin's mouth was noticeably drying.

HE (still hypnotized by her hooters): Sure.

Dulcinea: If you like them, try this.

NARRATOR: Dulcinea pulls back her shorts so only he could see the ring on her clitoral hood and her Brazil-designed pubis.

Dulcinea: I call my clit ring the “handcuffed boy in the ‘hood’” What do you think ?

HE (in deep gawk): Valhalla. Chin ? Chin ?

NARRATOR: Chin was more comatose than a suicidal Chinese factory slave.

THE ORB (laughing): Mind your chipped tooth.

HE (mistakenly thinks aloud): You're jealous. And I was going to kill for you.

Dulcinea: You were ? [Kisses him fully.] How sweet.

THE ORB (while burping): Don’t let me stop you. It’s just that ClamBumpers kill my urge for fish tacos. For God’s sake, why not call this place Fiskars or Tribs ?

NARRATOR: Chin, fresh from his catatonic clitoris stare, moronically interrupts with a query about the Head Shop when

228. social help enters.

In other words, Dulcinea's two best friends du jour had arrived. One was a trying-to-look 18, just-right waif. Half-spinner half- pet, she was wearing a short, tight, white skirt that imprinted her perfectly pointed nipples directly to the sun. Her hair was made into two stirrup-like, dishwater-blond ponytails; and she had a skin-tight body and naughty looking mouth that was more stern than a Marine Drill Instructor with the lung capacity of a leaf- blower. All this with unshowered schoolgirl looks, prominent tattoos and an appendix scar that points you in the right direction.

The other fellow sperm-swapper was a mean, man-hating, bukkake- breath, ball-busting, brunette with shoulder length Rapunzel hair, and a disproportionate pair of natural 36DD hooters that look like two Crenshaw melons on a broomstick.

Swish, Swish, Swish

NARRATOR: Dulcinea then introduced her best buddies, Coastie Amberly, and Kinky Kelly Klinger; two true wannabe QUEENS OF THE SILVER DOLLAR.

Kinky Kelly Klinger bends over Chin's shoulder and drops those 36DD, 38DDs 40Es (they got bigger as she got closer) in his lap.

Meanwhile, Coastie Amberly pulls up her cut halter top to let the tight, tatted, little, eyeball piercing puppies breathe; then pulls her skirt and t-back in between the crack of her well- formed, tight derriere. Finally, mercifully, she drops the front of her skirt down well below her now-famous appendectomy scar to clearly show no sign of razor stubble at all.

THE ORB: Thank Heaven for STD testing. And for virus-spreading lascivious sluts like Syphilis Sandra you want to eliminate a Mass Hypnotist ? Why on earth ?

HE: Wouldn’t you want to know ?

BOOLE: Let that be all part of the mystery.

HE: What is the Definition of Sexually Transmitted Diseases ?

BOOLE: According to me, STDs are transmitted sexually by someone who is infected. These infections are usually passed by intercourse, but can also be passed through other types of sex, such as oral sex.

HE (mentally turning from the truckload of tremendous tits): What are the major types ?

THE ORB: Tell him the incurable ones, and the deadly one. You know, the ones that free birth control shots do not protect against.

BOOLE: Well, if you must know. Five, usually sexually transmitted viral infections, are still incurable (or recurring) today: 1) Hepatitis B,C and D via blood/human fluids; 2) oral herpes -- contact with sores, blisters, or skin “shredders” (HSV-1); 3) genital herpes (HSV-2); 4) Human Papilloma Virus: genital warts (HPV); 5) and the Human Immunodeficiency Virus -- also spread by blood/ human fluids; or HIV -- which causes AIDS.

However, even in the absence of a cure, medical science has developed some helpful strategies: There is a vaccination against Hepatitis B, the symptoms of genital herpes, oral herpes, and HPV can be effectively treated, and AIDS patients now live longer thanks to various ever-improving medications.

Nevertheless, on the whole, the picture is bleak: Genital herpes, HPV and HIV infections have become epidemics and are spreading fast, especially among young people and minorities.

World-wide between 20 million new cases of genital herpes and 30 million cases of HPV occur every year. There are about 5 million new HIV infections every year, and HIV/AIDS is now devastating whole populations, especially in sub-Saharan Africa, but increasingly also in South and Southeast Asia and Eastern Europe.

230.

HE: Men like George Bush declare war on AIDS in Africa. Mass Hypnotists give billions to murderous communist dictators and terroristic Islamic theocracies.

BOOLE: Dr. C. Everett Koop was possibly the greatest Surgeon General in this nation's history. His warnings were not heeded. In high schools all over this nation, and even in the late 90s, young females are HIV positive in droves and have been covered up by the progressive Red Terror in order to “protect their privacy”.

BOOLE: Meanwhile, the females, most of whom contract incurable STDs, like HIV, from at-risk males, then pass it on to young impressionable, innocent males who would not be normally at risk.

THE ORB: Why don’t they warn the young children ?

HE: No, no, no ! The progressive Red Terrorists won’t allow it, nor will they allow the truth about violent crime statistics to ever be told.

THE ORB: I know one way to avoid possible expose to STDs.

HE: How so ?

THE ORB: Don’t go to strip joints, or eat oysters; classy, clean or not.

BOOLE: The term 'Assassin' may derive from Hashshashin, a militant Ismaili Muslim sect, active in the Middle East from the eighth to the fourteenth centuries. This mystic secret society killed members of the Abbasid and Seljuq élite for political and religious reasons.

It is speculated that the assassins were under the influence of hashish and opium during their killings or during their indoctrination; assassin may derive either from hasishin, the influence of the drugs, or hassansin, after their leader, Hassan-i- Sabah.

231.

Hashishinnya was an offensive term used by its Muslim and Mongolian detractors to characterize the cult. However, this is unlikely given the extreme dedication to Islam practiced by the sect and the fact that all narcotics are forbidden by the strictest definitions in Islam.

The earliest literary use of the "assassination" is in “The Tragedy of Macbeth” by William Shakespeare (1605).

Dulcinea (with her tongue once again firmly embedded in his ear): How about that lap dance ?

THE ORB (dry, wry voice dripping with sarcasm): Yea, how about that lap dance ?

NARRATOR: Kelly and Coastie sit in his lap while Dulcinea presses her own pride and joys against his head.

HE: Kathman 'fucking du !

THE ORB: Ah, calling Dr. Koop.

Dulcinea: I just love to share my pussy juice with other women, especially Coastie Amberly and Kinky Kelly Klinger.

THE ORB: Ah, calling Dr. Koop.

HE: Fuck Koop ! Go condoms. [Yells to bartender, who is laughing at him.] Boss Barkeeper ! Five more pussy juice shooters will be fine. Make 'em doubles. Chin, you want one ?

CHIN: What ?

NARRATOR: Frustrated, and a bit jealous, the Orb can take no more.

THE ORB: Moron. These are the sort of women you need to put in a yoke and dip them in a depilatory from their mustache down, then pressure wash, make them gargle with muriatic acid to kill their bukkake breath, and finally, give each a penicillin shot just as a proactive measure.

232.

Why not, just once, choose women who are not stupid, not sterile, not mute, not horny, and probably not STD positive ?

HE: Why not date them younger, say right after the zygote splits.

NARRATOR: A stunned, still-gawking Chin again asks about the Doctoral Board.

THE ORB (mocking voice): The Board ? Why not break out a fishnet stocking and sing some Ethel Merman ?

HE: Oh yeah, that’s right, Chin. So we wait outside while they render a decision.

CHIN: And ?

NARRATOR: Coastie Amberly asked what they were talking about because she had not a clue passed her pulsating pudenda, bitter bisexuality, and stomach full of pussy juice, ah, shooters.

HE: There was no threat to validity and they knew it.

NARRATOR: The pussy juice shooters arrive and they hoist 'em. Coastie being careful to dribble a bit of her shot into Kinky Kelly Klinger's mouth as Dulcinea pours hers off her tongue into Coastie’s waiting and widely gaped, ah, mouth.

THE ORB: Don’t go chasing waterfall.

CHIN (spouting Southern sentence fragments): Is that how this works ?

NARRATOR: Dulcinea sticks out her four-inch tongue, licks her lips, and then rims the shot glass slowly to the delight of all.

Dulcinea: I love to lick the rim, deeply. This shooter tastes just like it and is making my nipples so hard.

NARRATOR: She begins flashing him, yet again. The gutter-slut twins say and do the same as if on cue. But Chin had no reason to say what he was about to say,

233.

CHIN: Mine too, I feel funny.

HE: You mean like Don Rickles funny ?

CHIN: Who ?

Dulcinea (orgiastic screams): We have got pussy juice on all their fingers.

NARRATOR: And as if Otto Preminger had just cried out: “Action !” Kinky Kelly, and a now nearly nude Coastie Amberly, lick each other’s hands clean.

Dulcinea takes her long right index finger and proceeds to stick it in and out of her mouth until it was clean as a whistle. Kinky Kelly Klinger pulls up Coastie's shirt and puts a dab of the pussy juice shooter on her exquisite erect nipple and quarter-sized areola and licks it clean.

THE ORB (laughing): Sometimes you've got to give to receive. I'm sure they're just good friends. Have you noticed you don't see this sort of behavior in Teamsters ?

HE: Teamsters ?

THE ORB: Example, two badass Teamsters are having a cool one and one gets up and says, “Man, I got to go take a wicked dump” and the other then says, “Hold on, I'll go with you.”

BOOLE: You just don't see that in a Union hall.

CHIN: I am not a Union guy.

THE ORB: Moron.

HE (adding his current tab in his head): Jesus, I am going to need a loan to pay this tab.

THE ORB: You can always take the job at the bank.

HE (glaring at the Orb): Levin said even with all of his lectures

234. on belief systems and fighting for what is right at least he didn't have to face these guys.

THE ORB: Levin ? You are going on about Levin. You whipped wimp, aren't you dying with blue dog balls ?

NARRATOR: Dulcinea whispers for him to buy them more pussy juice while a stammering Chin could only muster a “yea”.

HE (loudly to the bar): Bartender, five more pussy juices !

NARRATOR: The girls rub him red. The Orb tries to disappear and hits a wall.

THE ORB: I can't believe it, even a specter gets internal blue balls.

WRITTEN ON SCREEN: "The high office of the President has been used to foment a plot to destroy the Americans freedom and before I leave office I must inform the Citizen of his plight." - PRESIDENT JOHN F. KENNEDY(10 days before he was murdered)

BOOLE: On June 4, 1963, a virtually unknown Presidential decree, Executive Order 11110, was signed with the authority to basically strip the Federal Reserve Bank of its power to loan money to the United States Federal Government at interest.

With the stroke of a pen, President Kennedy declared that the privately owned Federal Reserve Bank would soon be out of business.

The Christian Common Law Institute has exhaustively researched this matter through the Federal Register and Library of Congress and can now safely conclude that this Executive Order has never been repealed, or superseded by any subsequent Executive Order. Though Reagan amended it.

In simple terms, it is still valid.

235.

When President John Fitzgerald Kennedy -- the author of Profiles in Courage -- signed this Order, it returned to the federal government, specifically the Treasury Department, the Constitutional power to create and issue currency -- i.e., money -- without going through the privately-owned Federal Reserve Bank.

President Kennedy's Executive Order 11110 [the full text is displayed further below] gave the Treasury Department the explicit authority: "to issue silver certificates against any silver bullio n, silver, or standard silver dollars in the Treasury."

This means that for every ounce of silver in the U.S. Treasury's vault, the government could introduce new money into circulation based on the silver bullion physically held there.

As a result, more than $4 billion in United States Notes were brought into circulation in $2 and $5 denominations. $10 and $20 United States Notes were never circulated but were being printed by the Treasury Department when Kennedy was assassinated.

It appears obvious that President Kennedy knew the Federal Reserve Notes being used as the purported legal currency were contrary to the Constitution of the United States of America. "United States Notes" were issued as an interest-free and debt-free currency backed by silver reserves in the U.S. Treasury.

They almost look alike, except one says "Federal Reserve Note" on the top while the other, Kennedy’s would have said, "United States Note".

Also, the Federal Reserve Note has a green seal and serial number while the United States Note has a red seal and serial number. President Kennedy was assassinated on November 22, 1963, and the United States Notes he had issued were immediately taken out of circulation.

Federal Reserve Notes continued to serve as the legal currency of the nation.

According to the United States Secret Service, 99% of all U.S. paper "currency" circulating as of 1999 are Federal Reserve Notes. Kennedy knew that if the gold (till Nixon) and silver-backed

236.

United States Notes were widely circulated, they would have eliminated the demand for Federal Reserve Notes.

This is a very simple matter of economics. And deadly.

The USN was backed by silver (and gold) and the FRN was not backed by anything of intrinsic value save a false Gold standard until Nixon.

Executive Order 11110 should have prevented the national debt from reaching its current level (virtually all of the nearly $16 trillion in federal debt has been created since 1963) if LBJ or any subsequent President were to enforce it.

It would have almost immediately given the U.S. Government the ability to repay its debt without going to the private Federal Reserve Banks and being charged interest to create new "money". Executive Order 11110 gave the U.S.A. the ability to, once again, create its own money backed by silver and real value worth something.

Again, just five months after Kennedy was assassinated, no more of the Series 1958 "Silver Certificates" were issued either, and they were subsequently removed from circulation.

Perhaps the assassination of JFK was a warning to all future presidents not to interfere with the private Federal Reserve's control over the creation of money.

President Kennedy challenged the powers that exist behind U.S. and world finance. With true patriotic courage, JFK boldly faced the two most successful vehicles that have ever been used to drive up debt: 1) war (Vietnam); and, 2) the creation of money by a privately owned central bank. His efforts to have all U.S. troops out of Vietnam by 1965 combined with Executive Order 11110 would have destroyed the military industrial complex’s profits as well as the foreign control of the private Federal Reserve Bank.

NARRATOR: The wind is pushing the Tarnished Tank up the side of the embankment. He has a yardstick of khat in his mouth and is too

237. frightened to do anything but watch aluminum Trailer sidings fly overhead, and lightning explosion after explosion while the weak Australian Pines are uprooted and turned into missiles that knock down every power line and pole in the vicinity.

From the back seat, the Amish Albino is in near tears.

AMISH ALBINO: Oh, Lord, my dear horse and Father’s buggy. [Checks his cell phone text messages and is relieved.] Oh, thank the Lord, the elders got the horse and buggy in a safe haven. We are only a few miles from the barn.

NARRATOR: The Amish Albino falls fast flat on the seat from fright.

HE: Fucking Australia. First Kudzu, now this. This might be that Cat Five that Canard spoke of.

THE ORB: So, he's awake.

HE: Had a daydream about a biracial couple. Must be about my ex again. I don't need that too.

THE ORB: Oh really ? You'd never date a black woman ?

HE: Never have, never will. I'm a traditionalist through and through.

THE ORB: So you agree with Jimmy Carter's ethnic purity.

HE: Now that you mention it.

THE ORB: Got just the place for you. In time, we will see.

HE: Time for what, building an ark ? [Yelling.] Oooooh shiiiiiit !

NARRATOR: A sheet of 100 plus mile an hour wind and rain so thick it resembles a white squall hits the Tarnished Tank so hard that the side push-out windows pop open, sending in rain like an Alabama Police hosing.

THE ORB: This must be that Hurricane that wasn't supposed to make

238. landfall here.

HE: Seems the Global Warming Weather Channel got it wrong yet again. [He calls to the rear.] You okay back there ?

AMISH ALBINO: Never better. Who are you talking to ?

NARRATOR: The storm winds penetrate the car and pin him in his seat belt in absolute stark fear. The Orb tries to calm him.

THE ORB: Don't you hate words like wobble area and quadrant ?

HE: Don't know, kind of feel like Philip Carey most times.

THE ORB: Not that Woody Allen clap-trap again. Janet is not Charlotte Rampling.

HE: But she is like Mildred. Have you ever seen Forrest Gump ?

THE ORB: Read both of Groom's books and saw the movie, thank you. You should try reading.

HE: Of course you have. Just when it was safe to say you are from the South. What a POS, liberal movie.

THE ORB: What in the name of Gandhi are you talking about ? Would have thought a conservative like yourself would love it ?

HE: Do I look as stupid is as stupid does ? [Choking on his khat from suppressed fear and fun.] This isn't going to let up.

THE ORB: Have another stick, Roger Ebert. Would you listen one minute ? Wait a second, duck !

NARRATOR: Sheets of one-foot square roofing mats slams like square missiles against his cars. All courtesy of NAFTA, CAFTA, GATT, TPP, downsizing, outsourcing, and undocumented, illegal alien, immigrant felons.

HE (under the seat, Qat in mouth): Go ahead, explain it for us. This critique you shouldn't miss.

239.

BOOLE: Namely, it had all the southern typecasts that those liberal, Hollywood pukes could cram in two hours.

THE ORB: Like what ?

NARRATOR: Mistake one. Pressing Boole was like Charlie getting Tex Watson motivated for a sermon.

BOOLE: First, he didn't know his father and was probably a child of incest, that's why he is retarded.

THE ORB: He what ? How did you come to deduce that ?

BOOLE: Secondly, he's named after the creator of the KKK, he's slow and stupid, his mom had sex with the teacher to get him into school, and he and his peanut butter-legged girl have an illegitimate child on top of that.

HE: You're troubled, Boole. Do you know that ?

BOOLE: Don't we all have issues ? Just look at his jobs. First, he plays football for Bear Bryant and Alabama and naturally is pushed through an illiterate with a degree.

NARRATOR: As hard as he tried not to, he started to listen to the Boole's rant.

BOOLE: Next, he joins the military, something the south has done from Davy Crockett and the Tennessee Volunteers, to Stonewall Jackson, to George Patton. So he stupidly goes to war, a drafted moron, and returns a wounded hero.

THE ORB: That's a source of pride for them.

BOOLE: Not in Hollywood. And the kicker: his best girl is also a sexually abused, AIDS-infected, antiwar, drug addicted hick stuck in the service industry. A fallen woman who; by the way, was also a child of Southern incest and hates America. In other words, she is no real southerner, but a typecast molded into liberal Hollywood's image.

HE: Didn't read that in it, Rex Reed.

240.

BOOLE: Her life is as much a typecast as his. Look at how they've treated Ron Maxwell, Randall Wallace, Don Imus, and Mel Gibson. Or, anyone conservative for that matter who doesn’t draw big at the box office. Just a few names of those who hate conservative Christians: Ed Schultz, Debbie Schultz, Weiner, Ginsburg, Breyer, Kagan, Silverman, Walters, Mila Kunis, Kramer, Julia Lousy-Dreyfus and her $2.9B, Larry David, Behar, Kathy Griffin, Grayson, Bernie Sanders, Boteach, Jon Stewart, Bill Maher, Boxer, Rahm Emanuel, Soros, Schumer, Noam Chomsky, Alan Deshowitz, Waxman, Bloomberg, Wexler, Carl Levin, etc., etc., etc., et al. It's vindictive, avaricious, mendacious, cruel and mean-spirited.

THE ORB: True. But they are not in the book. Then how do you figure Gump's ping-pong ability ?

BOOLE: Might as well have written it. How smart do you have to be to play ping-pong ? Simple game, simple people. Just look at how TV treats southerners now ? The flag ?

NARRATOR: Boole was ruining the movie for him. He chewed on some more khat.

BOOLE: Then what does he do ? He becomes a fisherman. Why not put a cane pole in his hand and have him sing 'Ole Man River' with that commie Paul Roberson.

HE (stoned senseless and unaware of any goings on outside): Never thought of it that way. I am going to stop listening to you and ride this out.

BOOLE: Did he ever go to church ? No. Just like 'The Majestic', or Mystery Alaska, and that is what a real southern man would have done, dumb or not. But this Hollywood version is what they want to project on you.

THE ORB: What about the ending ?

BOOLE: She was just another southern dumbbell who died of AIDS. Get it ?

In a nutshell, a southern moron plays football for Alabama, joins

241. the military, plays ping-pong, becomes a fisherman, knocks up some AIDS infected southern idiot, has an out-of-wedlock kid, then spends the rest of his life mowing a fucking lawn. How obvious does this have to be ? Hell, 'Million Dollar Baby' had a southern, trailer-trash girl murdered to justify Kevorkianism.

HE: Eastwood is an empty suit.

THE ORB: If anyone should know about that it should be you. Most never looked at the book and movie that way. You read all this into it by seeing the movie just once ?

NARRATOR: Boole is laughing himself silly.

BOOLE: Never said I saw the movie. Jeez, you are easy swayed, sure hope you'll be the deciding juror at my trial. Gerry Spence would've had you in his pocket.

NARRATOR: He was too stoned to retort. Besides, he was both petrified from fear and was laughing so hard his side hurt.

HE: Something like that. I just don't think we need to know this stuff.

THE ORB: I already do. Look, it's starting to ease up. Let's get him home and on the fish camp.

NARRATOR: He starts up the Tarnished Tank and drives through the devastation to his destination of Pine Island.

HE (looking about): Lord have mercy, looks like Hiroshima, meets Mogadishu, meets Baghdad. THE ORB: What a ride. You survived Janet and a hurricane.

HE (mutters while lighting a joint): H-word. Not quite. Looks like I'll be working for Janet's father.

AMISH ALBINO: Dude, who are those guys behind us ? They look menacing.

HE (stammers): Shiiiit, it’s the Ca-Caliphs. They want the rug and khat.

NARRATOR: He had no idea that watching the Tarnished Tank from just over the ridge were Telly, Habib and the 10 other Imams.

TELLY: No, my friend, they will wait until Matlacha.

HABIB: There the second son of the Mother will be settled.

BOOLE: Following is a transcript of Mr. Hugh Downs 1998 radio presentation, Odder Than Oz, which Mr. Downs has not graciously allowed us to reprint.

HUGE DOWNS: What do you suppose Alan Greenspan, Judy Garland, and the American Civil war have in common ? Give up ? They are all connected to turn-of-the-century U.S. monetary policy, of course. Not so obvious ?

Let me explain.

Just before the American Civil War broke out, Americans used dollar bills that had been issued by banks. The government didn't make any money, except coins. When the war began, the government (like all governments at war,) needed a great deal of money fast. President Lincoln decided to print it just like banks did. These

243. early government notes were called "greenbacks" and, as you might expect, printing all those greenbacks led to rampant inflation.

Eventually, about 15 years after the war was over, people who held Federal notes, the greenbacks, could redeem them for gold coins. Few people bothered to make this trade because the war was long over, gold reserves were healthy, and people had faith in the government. Money was once again backed by real gold, but this created a new problem. The government could not print any more money that was not backed by gold, and that constricted the money supply.

People who already had money, that is rich people, didn't want any more money added to the supply because an inflated money supply devalues savings. Inflation is always bad for people with money because their money becomes less valuable. But people without money, especially poor farmers, were clamoring for the government to print more. Inflation always helps the poor because debts can be repaid in cheaper dollars and money becomes more available for loans, investments, for everything. By 1874 a new political party called the Greenback Party demanded that the government mint unlimited amounts of coin, print more paper money and give $50 to every U.S. citizen. Poor farmers were demanding an inflationary monetary policy.

The Greenback Party dissolved in about 10 years, but a new party emerged and took up the inflationary baton. They were known as the Populist Party and legions of Midwestern and Southern farmers joined. The Populists eventually supported the Democrats because both parties were part of the Free Silver Movement. Remember the problem with the gold standard: the government couldn't print any more without discovering more gold to back it up. The Free Silver Movement wanted the government to add silver as yet another standard, in addition to gold. Having two standards would allow the government to inflate the money supply and provide relief to farmers. The price of crops had plummeted but debts still had to be paid in gold-backed currency.

On July 8, 1896, during the Democratic national convention, a young 36-year-old congressman named William Jennings Bryan gave a brilliant rhetorical flourish to the crowd's sentiments. Bryan exclaimed: "You shall not press down upon the brow of labor this crown of thorns, you shall not crucify mankind upon a cross of

244. gold." The ecstatic crowd elected William Jennings Bryan as their presidential candidate.

The "cross of gold," of course, referred to the single standard; the rigid link between gold and money. The gold standard, favored by Eastern bankers and financiers, was also known as the "hard money policy." Bryan and his friends championed bimetallism instead. With two standards, the government could create and back more money - a policy known as "easy money." Farmers were burdened by bank mortgages on their farms.

They were forced to borrow gold-backed notes. But the price of gold continued to go up, while the price for crops continued to go down. If U.S. monetary policy eased the money supply, farmers might have a chance to survive.

William Jennings Bryan lost the 1896 election to William McKinley. He lost again to McKinley in 1900 and then, in 1908, Bryan lost yet another presidential election to William Howard Taft. But the dream of a looser money supply and hatred of Eastern bankers lingered on. The Democratic and early Progressive Parties, and others, adopted some of the economic principles forged in the Greenback and Populist Parties. Most interesting, though, is that the spirit of the Free Silver Movement and its resentment for Eastern bankers found its way into one of America's most original fairy tales: the Wonderful Wizard of Oz.

In 1900, L. Frank Baum, the author of the Wizard of Oz, was a staunch supporter of the Free Silver Movement and, like many Americans at the time, he distrusted the East coast banking establishment. And now we learn a fascinating story told to us by anthropologist Jack Weatherford.

Weatherford tells us, in his new book The History Of Money, that Baum's tale of Oz is a thinly disguised parable of turn-of-the- century monetary policy.

The Wizard of Oz is the wizard of the gold ounce, the abbreviation of ounce is, of course, oz.

Dorothy -- who had silver slippers, not ruby -- the lead character made famous in the screen version by Judy Garland, represented the average rural American. Dorothy, says Weatherford, was probably

245. modeled on the populist orator Leslie Kelsey who was known as "the Kansas Tornado." Dorothy and Toto are flung by the tornado to the East where they discover the Yellow Brick Road - meaning a gold road. The road leads to Oz "where the wicked witches and wizards of banking operate."

The Scarecrow is the American farmer.

The Tin Woodman is the American factory worker.

And, the Cowardly Lion is William Jennings Bryan.

Weatherford says: "The party's march on Oz is a re-creation of the 1894 march of Coxey's Army, a group of unemployed men led by Jacob S. Coxey to demand (a) public issue of 500 million greenbacks for (the) common people." The Wizard himself represented Marcus Hanna who controlled both the Republican Party and the McKinley administration.

The Munchkins "were the simple-minded people of the East who did not understand how the wizard pulled the levers that controlled the money, the economy, and the government."

The simpleminded residents of Oz were required to wear green tinted glasses fastened by gold buckles.

Off to the West, the Wicked Witch of the West had enslaved the yellow Winkies, which Weatherford explains, "is a reference to the imperialist aims of the Republican administration, which had captured the Philippines from Spain and refused to grant them independence."

At the end of the story the Wizard and the Witches are exposed as crude fakes. This dramatic revelation makes everything better. The scarecrow, who represents the farmer, discovers that he is very intelligent and not a stupid layman.

The Cowardly Lion, who is William Jennings Bryan, finds courage. And the Tin Woodman, actually the American factory worker, "received a new source of strength in a bimetallic tool - a golden axe with a blade of silver."

In the original edition of The Wonderful Wizard of Oz, Dorothy

246. returns to Kansas by clicking the heels of her silver slippers together. The moviemakers decided that red looked better on screen than silver and that's the way most of us remember the tale. As you can see, and thanks to Jack Weatherford for pointing it out, most of us have completely forgotten the secret story behind the Wizard of Oz.

Today, the Federal Reserve Bank determines America's monetary policy, but the Fed wasn't created until 1913. The modern equivalent of the Wizard of Oz - or Marcus Hanna - is, of course, the ever-charming Alan Greenspan. So now you know. The Civil War, Judy Garland and Alan Greenspan are connected.

NARRATOR: Standing at the rostrum to vie for a training position before a group as diverse as these six socially-engineered, sophist minions is not so confusing as it is contrived.

The presentation was to be done in a lecture demonstration format or lecture/demo for short. The subject seemed to fit the group.

These were the same unqualified to mollify, corporate lackeys who think they've earned it, yet won't let us put the word "Christmas" on the wall during the holidays, or display an American flag because it may offend Moslems and American Muslims. Yet Ramadan and Kwanza are rocking events at this company.

Say the wrong word and “wham !” the politically correct, socialist, title ten, title-niners will make "stupid white men" of you.

You know his company: CNN, NPR, The View, Oprah, The Talk, and MSNBC blare in the break rooms.

BOOLE: Today he said he would make them pay.

THE ORB: No one can stop him. May God have mercy on their souls if you won’t stop me, Boole.

247.

NARRATOR: He should have known better than to join this progressive Red Terror socialism, this STAMOCAP State Capitalism. Why oh why didn't he get a clue and look at the only reference book on the shelf at their diverse HRM office: Human Resources for Dummies.

Click

HE: Damn it, this thing always jams.

NARRATOR: He was squeezing the trigger again and again.

Swish, Swish, Swish

NARRATOR: For the mentality of these peter-principled, quislings whose adherence and dependence upon draconian federal protection, preferences, social engineering, and entitlements are as ridiculous as their poor qualifications. So this seemed the perfect subject with which to conquer them.

The opening statement should set the mood.

HE (to the group): In this next 15 minutes we will go over the making and usage of an item which has been considered one of the cornerstones of mankind and without which, some conjecture, mankind itself might perish.

NARRATOR: He had them. They couldn't escape. It was time, and it felt good in my hand, hidden beneath the podium. Soon they would see the real him, finally notice him.

Click

HE (to himself): Damn it !

Click

The ORB (relieved it had jammed): Just going to have to do it alone. There were only eight of them.

HE (still squeezing the trigger): Am I talking about the Salk

Series ? No !

HE: Pasteurization ? No !

Click

HE: The Gutenberg Press ? No !

BOOLE: Just give up. I'll grab something sharp and do it by hand, this is going to be messy.

THE ORB: Wait. They are locked on your every word. You have them, don’t do this, just tell them.

Click

HE: It's a Turkey Caller.

BOOLE: Did Kalashnikov invent that too ?

THE ORB: Well, you being who you are and what you are, this makes sense.

NARRATOR: In addition to Boole and the Orb, even Hussein, Aisha, and Ellen appeared to become perplexed, if not more lost. He was still screwing with the malfunctioning clicker under the podium for that effing, antebellum, point-and-click, laptop when he decided it was useless. Verbiage would be his weapon. As he had planned just a Harvard outline, using the extemporaneous presentation of slides, it appeared he would have to wing it. Impromptu versus memorized and manuscript.

HE (to the Orb): No problem. [Turns to the class.] Now most of you may think that turkey callers are only used by beer buzzed, pork rind eating, Faith Hill loving, hunters when hunting turkeys in the woods of north Florida or south Alabama and who are at a loss as to how to attract them.

249.

NARRATOR: Possibly it was not the best opening and subject matter for an audience of -- if you'll pardon the redundancy -- a progressive Red Terror , so-called diverse PC mix.

Or, as Marx and Engels feared, nonworker socialists that make up nearly half, say 47%, of America. It's just the thought of a turkey caller in a long distance call center. The progressive Red Terror socialists didn't see the harmony in that existence preceded essence.

HE (to himself): Sartre would have been so proud.

NARRATOR: However, unlike a failing comedian in the Catskills, applicants like he were forced to continue.

HE: Heavens no. Hasn't each of you at one time or another, been wild boar or turkey hunting in the woods alone or with friends or family ?

NARRATOR: There was a deafening `no' silence from the singular voting, change-seeking panel.

HE: Wouldn't it be nice, finally, to have something easily made, that might also attract a Great Grizzly or Kodiak Bear to us so we can feed them or take a family photo with ?

NARRATOR: Who knew this would be an indifferent group, very indifferent ?

Swish, Swish, Swish

HE: Well, this device, a turkey caller, you are about to construct will attract a turkey, or bear, better than a Yosemite littering, latte sipping, tofu eating, SUV driving, High Sierra biking, Bolt Law School attending, yuppie, liberal zipped up in a down- feathered sleeping bag with an open can of pate and an extra large roll of Charmin.

THE ORB: Note the absence of applause.

250.

Swish, Swish, Swish

NARRATOR: So, the thought arose, the diverse panel of progressive Red Terrorists is trying to appear unimpressed, if not completely bewildered.

BOOLE: The next step was to first demonstrate. Then have each of them cut a piece of plain paper into the proper size, with a tip on one end; form the caller into a tight straw by wrapping it around a number two pencil; finally taping the center, and removing the pencil.

It is easy to teach if an instructor tries to relate in common core terms to the audience.

HE: In addition, this relatively cheap item will be useful to the blue-haired, bistro loving, smelly, hirsute, NPR listening, CNN watching, Nena-loving, Party Green voting, tree hugging, green- dayers out there as turkey callers also provide a way to distract hunters. Instead of turkeys, the whiskey blind, shotgun wielding, militia joining zealots will be wasting their double 00 buckshot on you instead of those gregarious gobblers.

NARRATOR: It was important to stop short since it dawned on him that the audience of corporate glass ceiling types just...

Swish, Swish, Swish

NARRATOR: ...[w]ere not following the comic-cosmic-stream-of- consciousness, or written now, the interior monologue. Apparently, no one on the panel was familiar with Dostoevsky, Joyce, Faulkner, Ellison, Maugham, Conrad, or Camus, but probably expounded the virtues of Morrison, Angelou, Baldwin, Wright, Cornwell, Marques- Garcia, and of course: empowered to the hilt by Oprah, The Talk and, The View.

THE ORB: They probably think you are bat-shit insane, not a Mass Hypnotist.

NARRATOR: After the attention-grabbing lecture/demo on construction papers -- sans modern training aids thanks to the aforementioned defective point-and-click machine -- and having

251. them do the same, comes the actual demonstration of the proper technique for calling the gobbler.

HE (demonstrates as he speaks): Turkey calling requires placing the open end of the caller in the mouth and cupping the tipped side of the caller properly between both hands.

NARRATOR: This, all the judges were to do the same way.

HE: It's not a breeder reactor, after all.

BOOLE: Not to me at least.

NARRATOR: The construction was simple. Yet despite that, turkey calling needed a special tolerant touch, nay a California sharing.

HE: Now I want all of you to squat like AR-15 loving, Fed-hating, Bambi killing, Red State voting, deer stand living, cousin-humping hunters, and SUCK as hard as you can.

NARRATOR: He hoped they hadn't noticed how dated his choice of the AR-15 was when the AK-47 would do just fine.

NARRATOR: The impressed, irreverent, conservative male said nothing; possibly because there was but one in the room.

This was difficult to take and find the proper internal locus of control.

BOOLE: The Outer Banks of North Carolina, near Cape Hatteras, has yielded almost all major Red Drum records on the books. The current record (more than 20 years old) was a whopping 94-pound, 2- ounces. The second on record was 90-pounds even.

One such monster, even larger than these, decided to head for

252. warmer climbs by going south down the Intracoastal.

11011101100010110101100110010101

BOOLE: The Intracoastal waterway is a modern marvel. Stretching 3000 miles from Brownsville, Texas to Boston, Massachusetts, it is the partially natural, partially man-made product of American know- how started in 1919, by Act of Congress, and was the Army Corp of Engineer's Magnum Opus.

The Intracoastal has provided commercial shipping and merchant mariners a safe haven from German U-boat wolf packs in World War Two and even now allows the novice sailor freedom to motor about safe from pirates and other lawyers.

The waterway extends from Boston to Key West on the Atlantic side, then from Key West to Brownsville, Texas on the Gulf of Mexico side.

Florida, however, has the only shortcut, across the Okeechobee Waterway.

All this is opposed to FDR's Folly or Flagler's Folly.

FDR's "Folly" was the "Cross Florida Barge Canal." FDR, in his infinite pre-suicidal wisdom, got Congress in WWII -- by one vote -- to authorize the building of a canal across the peninsula of Florida at its shortest width. In 1964, LBJ started construction. Seven years later, with little or no progress, Nixon, in a rare act of lucidity given his burdening us with affirmative action, food stamps, bombing Cambodia, and creating the DOE, halted the project by Executive Order. Thus saving more than 16 miles of the historic Ocklawaha river. The project was finally de-authorized by Bush 41 in 1990. That said, was Saddam such a stretch ?

It never dawned on the moronic politicians to have separate merchant fleets, not when public money is to be spent.

Then there was Standard Oil's avuncular, Robber Baron Henry Flagler. Flagler's Folly, as it will always be known, was the manifestation of greed, hubris, and dementia unmatched until CNN's "Crossfire" program.

253.

The project was called the "East Coast Railroad Key West Extension." It was started in 1905 and was to be 130 miles of above water train tracks from Miami to Key West. It took more years to complete than Head Start thanks in great part to malaria- spreading mosquitoes, omnipresent hurricanes, rather upset workers tired of dying for 25 cents a day, and that darn wilderness.

HE: Fucking Robber Baron’s and Mass Hypnotists . Is there a difference ?

BOOLE: One can image Horatio Alger's "Ragged Dick" and "Mark the Match Boy" not acting in such a manner.

Well, Yankee ingenuity prevailed and seven years, 30 million dollars, and hundreds of lost lives later, the Robber Baron most likely single-handedly responsible for both the Clayton Act and the Sherman Anti-Trust act, had his wish. His sick wife could now get bitten by big, disease-spreading bugs in sweltering heat.

Mercifully, Flagler died about a year after the completion of his white elephant and Flagler's Folly lasted but a few years thanks to mother Nature and the odd thought that a few bridges would suffice.

There had to be bridges before 1907, or else how did they get west of the Mississippi river ? Maybe Horace Greeley was just joking.

Henry Flagler and his Neo-Robber Baron ilk like Gates, Jobs and Buffett would sure have been hard for Daniel Boorstin to justify, try as he might.

Maybe it was his prime target.

NARRATOR: The Intracoastal orca that he was to encounter headed south; it made those two aforementioned 90-pound Carolinians seem like guppies.

The beast must have spent the previous summer dredging a new trench and looking like a movable tongue in the canal while

254. working his mighty way down the south Atlantic side of the Intracoastal. Them North Carolinians aren't too bright.

The dumb, Koran reading, Tar Heel rooting red took a wrong turn into the Saint Lucie Canal instead of proceeding south and seeking the upper scale, old money accommodations in Limbaugh/Drudge/Coulter/Kennedyesque Palm Beach.

It was lucky to get in and out of the Okeechobee Waterway and Lake Okeechobee alive, leaping lock after lock and avoiding the now huge numbers of illegal immigrant Mexicans, and Negro fishermen. Then, by fortune, Red found the Caloosahatchee waterway and canal, and made it into the northern gulf side Intracoastal at first sight of the draconian Cape Coma Police.

At his size, even the pugnaciously vicious bull shark, or Janet, thought better than attack.

Later on, as Cap'n Queeg and he recounted the terror over countless beers, they surmised that because of its dimensions, this particular fistory did, in fact, originate from the Outer Banks.

Queequeg, ah, Win, that is, said it definitely came from there.

NARRATOR: Two burly Negro Security Guards escort him out of the Call Center, taking his security badge away in the process.

Another job, let alone promotion, lost for Mr. Mensa. Was it his eclectic wit that cost him ? For some reason, this current shoe magnet faux pas constituted another failure to get promoted from a $9.15 an hour job to something more worthy of a MS in Strategic Management and Doctoral studies in Economics and Finance.

This was difficult to take and find the proper internal locus of control. Was this the day he decided that the Mass Hypnotist must go away ?

255.

Oh well, the formula is proven: affirmative action plus diversity equals the Peter Principle. Just think of those un-American feds, working for a lousy minimum wage of $25 an hour like hogs at the public trough, yet complaining all the time about their terrible plight.

And then there are the glutted Federal pensions. Solidified by progressive Red Terror monetary policies that allow a ballooning public debt; 60% of which is owned by the progressive Red Terrorists federal unions.

Still, there was the fact that most liberal women, like all at his most recent job, were easy to spot; they have dozens of half- dollar-shaped bruises on them from conservative men touching them with ten-foot poles. You figure most could probably play connect-a- dot.

He too has been known to like Gershwin and Cole Porter. Well, when no one is around. Maybe a three-day weekend was a vacation needed. With a relaxing drive to his favorite island and a chartered fishing trip as a reward. It was time to introspectively reflect, in somber, calm thoughts, about events just gone before.

However, Janet Heinz-Forbes waited at the end of the line.

00100010101001110100100000101100

NARRATOR: His bad ride was a 1974 Ford Gran Torino, rusted like the Lusitania, with well-placed holes in the trunk and passenger side floorboard served as his chariot.

Its nickname: The Tarnished Tank.

HE: Still, what could go wrong on such a glorious, unemployed day ?

THE ORB: You live in Florida.

NARRATOR: Driving the Tarnished Tank four and a half hours through thick smoke and brush fires is generally not the most pleasant way of traveling to your vacation destination. It can cause one to be slightly stressed upon arrival, but it is often necessary for

256. central Florida during summertime, especially with Muslims near and if one is going to Pine Island through Matlacha.

He is almost half asleep driving on a rural Florida back road. The khat swelling his cheeks as he lights up a joint. There is a wry grin on his face as he hears the clanging of the TC. He again had to stop and relax after negotiating a fire that made Oakland Hills seems like a match stick.

But he was close to Pine Island, he could smell the money through the smoke. Could smell the nouveau riche, the gay Bikers, the arrested development mentality of the denizens, the momma boys who suddenly had money from dead relatives, and worse, the false demand created by al-Qaeda's rivals: realtors.

HE: Don’t forget the women. Those fat, fat women.

NARRATOR: Worse than the well-heeled, pork eaters of Sanibel and Captiva, Pine Island women were seriously fat. Hindenburg wide, and plumper than an orca’s Grey Seal snack.

It is said of a Pine Island woman that her age is only exceeded by the width of her ass in Salon’s hectares.

THE ORB: Watch the fire.

NARRATOR: He starts up the Tarnished Tank and rips through the thin shroud of smoke.

HE (dodging the flames in his car): Still, do need a beer.

THE ORB: Better be careful ordering up a Heinie, you may get one as big as the bar.

NARRATOR: And getting one of those two-ton, Hippos to pour anything in a clean, cold glass is akin to getting a rhino to Hula Hoop.

HE (steering the car back in lane): And they think tepid is a country music line-dance.

NARRATOR: The smoke clears and the flames are in the background on

257. whatever rural road he was headed west on.

THE ORB: Nice fire jumping in southwest Florida. Do you normally take shortcuts through hell ? [Shocked by what is approaching outside.] Oh my God, look !

NARRATOR: Suddenly, it appeared in the other lane, open for all to view: the horror, the horror

HE: Oh my God !

THE ORB: What, a Muslim terrorist, a progressive Red Terrorist liberal, changeling ?

HE: Worse. Much, much worse.

NARRATOR: Nose-picking is a private affair, not meant for public consumption. However, social norms dictate that the inside of an automobile be declared a "free picking zone." Those retentive types who tint their windows are obviously closeted serial pickers -- shamed into hiding.

HE: Unfortunately, this character had no shame as he was probably a politician, a progressive Red Terror , or worse, a Forward pig.

THE ORB: He appears to have his entire arm up his nose. Thank goodness his elbow wouldn’t fit.

HE: If he eats that it's over for mankind. Though we should not worry, whatever is lodged up there wouldn't come out, or couldn't be wrested out, with a backhoe.

THE ORB: Definitely Mount Rushmore, a permanent fixture.

HE: I've never seen deep core drilling before. Thought the Mass Hypnotists had outlawed that or anything that might help us improve our lives.

258.

THE ORB: Watch the road, I’ll do the play-by-play. Looks like it’s headed north.

HE (gagging): Time to target vomit.

NARRATOR: The truth-squad, police detective, in the unmarked car, turns to see himself being stared at and photographed by numerous cars; so he speeds away, assured that he faced no recrimination for breaking the speed limit.

THE ORB: It must be tough driving with one arm.

HE: That’s consumerism for you.

10010011100001011110001001000111

NARRATOR: Pine Island, or Pine Island as it is referred to by none of its denizens, is the largest off island in the state of Florida, yet has, or it turns out, had the sparsest population density. If you ever want to take a piss, Pine Island is your destination.

The Intracoastal Waterway passes through Pine Island Sound, which is to the west of the island. Between Sanibel, Captiva and Pine Island.

BOOLE: Pine Island is located in southwest Florida, just west of Fort Myers and the draconian Cape Coma compound, and separated by the Matlacha Bridge.

The Matlacha Bridge (pronounced "Mat-Lack-ha") is a small single- leaf drawbridge located in Matlacha, Florida. It carries State Road 78 (Pine Island Road) over Matlacha Pass, connecting Pine Island with the mainland in Cape Coral.

The Matlacha Bridge first opened in 1927 and was only 9-feet tall. Since its opening, the bridge has become a very popular fishing spot for local residents. It has been nicknamed "The fishiness bridge in the world".

It has since been replaced by basically the same bridge, just a

259. little wider and costing $18,300,000 for something you could have built better, and faster, with Legos. It is also the only way on or off Pine Island, except by boat.

This Ali and the Caliphs knew. They had planned well.

Matlacha Pass runs between Pine Island and the mainland. Again, Pine Island lies west of Cape Coma, and the feared Cape Coma Gestapo.

Unlike the sandy barrier islands of Sanibel to the south, Captiva to the southwest, and North Captiva to the west, Pine Island is made from the same coral rock as the mainland. Sanibel owes its unique shrimp-like shape (and orientation perpendicular to the coast) to being on the leeward side of the Gulf Stream from Pine Island.

Pine Island is home to four unincorporated towns, or CDPs: Pine Island Center, Bokeelia, Pineland, and St. James City. Matlacha is also considered one of the communities but is actually on its own small island. Bokeelia is at the north end of the island, at the mouth of Charlotte Harbor.

Pine Island is also home to Matlacha Pass National Wildlife Refuge. Little Pine Island is a state-owned wildlife refuge, currently being "de-developed" and returned to its natural state. Ospreys, herons, egrets and ibises, and, roseate spoonbills are often seen, as well as owls, hawks, bald eagles, and songbirds.

Skeletons unearthed on the island have been dated to about 6000 years ago. The Calusa people are thought to have inhabited Pine Island since around the year 300, possibly centered on what is now Pineland, where an archaeological dig is located. Ponce de Leon is believed to have landed near there in 1513. After the Calusas died out in the 1700s because of the wars and diseases brought by Spanish exploration, the island was essentially uninhabited until 1873.

The island is, or was, a sleepy little retirement, fishing, and mainly agricultural island with numerous concrete emergency helicopter landing pads strategically placed on the island in order to evacuate recently suffering heart attack victims to a hospital.

260.

However, in America, murder/suicide is considered a tragic event brought on by one man's deteriorating health. And, for some reason, the female seems to be brought along for the ride, much to her chagrin. Pine Island is no different no matter how hard they try.

Pine Island, other than smelling like vitamin enriched piss, has in its midst a wide variety of fauna that make those Sierra Club joining, Unabomber loving, "Silent Spring" and "Earth in Balance" reading, Inconvenient Truth/Hellstrom Chronicles watching, tree huggers simply rant over:

Numerous nesting pairs of American Bald Eagles, who, by the way, do taste like Manatee.

Manatee, the affable, defecating machine loved so much by so many that have never seen them and who now have morphed into a state- sponsored lebensraum experiment in lawyering greed and intolerance.

The dreaded No-See-Um; an invisible mosquito-like pest that cannot be screened out without coating the screen with some sort of Agent Yellow, napalm jelly, and when viewed under an electron microscope this mega-pest resembles a Looney Toon caricature that happens to be all teeth and spits acid on it victims. No-See-Ums are simply called "all-jaws."

Palmetto bugs, aka Hindenburg roaches.

Humongous Derrieres: the liberal human females.

Carpenter ants that would send Serengeti tribesmen and aardvarks scrambling for shelter.

Then there are real mosquitoes, only they happen to be the size of hummingbirds.

Mutant, Mothra-sized, jack-hammering, Chernobylesque woodpeckers, with the wingspan of those Native American thunderbirds of lost yore who were once yearning for some Aztlandian, and Mayan munchkins to make a snack of.

261.

Ospreys, who taste like Florida panthers. Florida panthers, who taste like Florida otters, who taste like the Florida bobcat.

Finally, there is the marauding Blue Heron, who kills for sport, like Janet.

Or the Alligator, again like Janet, that is too abundant to mention, yet can drive and dance better.

It seems that of all the creatures that pass overhead, the helicopter is most omnipresent, prompting the locals to comment upon its skyward sight, "Another boat for sale."

As he emerged from the smoke, he decided that before settling in at a PI Fish Camp that he would first cross the border at the 38th parallel into Mass Hypnotist hell.

Swish, Swish, Swish

And then there are the denizens of Pine Island. Scarier than Freddy Krueger, one and all.

However, there is one place more scary, more oppressive and more evil that even Cape Coma, and he went there first.

NARRATOR: It was times like this, and in elitist places like this, that always got him to thinking about the Nerdy Cosmetologist. His great error upon first meeting her was in think her aloof and elitist; when, in reality, and upon finally getting the nerve to talk to her after two years, he discovered she was just introverted, and a nerd who was a voracious reader of books, not twitter, or any social media.

HE: Mi hermana, no estoy solo.

00000111001010010001100000001011

NARRATOR: When you cross the bridge from Fort Myers and enter this effete Eagles Nest of elitism, this Mass Hypnotist Hell, you are immediately scanned by the ethnic detectors the rich have on all the street corners, subdivisions, and common shopping areas.

262.

From there, you are fingerprinted and a DNA blood specimen is taken.

And that is just to use their toilets.

If you hate arugula and rich people, stay far away. These are the kind of rich who ethnically are about as diverse as a Lookout Mountain, Tennessee KKK reunion, or any number of northern California, Bay Area enclaves of pseudo-tolerance.

Despite the Kuwait-like wealth available, these people, rich and poor (poor being between $250,000 - $1,000,000), aren't the most attractive. It generally is considered a compliment in Mass Hypnotist Hell when you tell a woman that she has a nice tooth.

Never before had he looked at women as he would a Racken Horse or Tennessee Walker, but these Mass Hypnotist Hell women are different.

Though the gargantuan Guernseys of Pine Island are large, here in both Sanibel and Captiva, the hatchet handle test has been supplanted by the axe handle test. That test being the taking of an axe handle and putting it horizontally along the apex of their respectively rotund rumps and if their buttocks are wider than the required spread of three feet one is allowed citizenship or admittance for employment.

Looking about the Richie Rich bar at women he would never have conjugal relations with, it soon became patently obvious that the thing they had in common with the less-than-brave, nouveau riche men they were with -- other than their excessive wealth -- were that their only commonality was mutual superficiality.

He'd seen NASCAR fans, MSNBC hosts, and gang-banging Negroes carry on more reasonable conversations.

These were the kind of people who will never get busted for hemp, be left orphan, get ugly tattoos, or lose a leg in war. Over- pampered white whales in Gucci. Where were the witches when you need them ?

Three long, slowly nursed, watered down drinks later he paid his

263.

$100 tab and left this uber-rich Gulag for Pine Island.

NARRATOR: After checking into the first palmetto bug retreat he could find open on Pine Island, he decided to seek out a fishing guide.

A day trip to set the tone, to forget what has past.

What first struck him on this return was the enormous amount of traffic. Something was very wrong. Sounded, looked, and worse, smelled like a Bay-To-Breakers, gay-pride bikers' day.

It had been more than two years since his last visit, and since summertime was the off season, this was far too much traffic.

Also saw many strange men, who weren't hard-working, seasoned- looking boat Captains in ratty t-shirts, but rather a sorted bunch of R.A.Y.s and D.A.Y.s wearing those stupid "Spanish Fly" Eddie Bauer-Columbia-Guy Harvey fishing shirts.

HE (thinking out loud): Who the heck is Guy Harvey and why was he on PI ? Giovanni Versace was gone so mankind should be free, right ?

NARRATOR: As Guy Harvey, Columbia and Eddie Bauer aren’t common practice or names, he was scared.

HE: They may have invaded.

264. ACT II - THE DOLDRUMS

(THE CURTAIN RISES.)

BOOLE: Hurricane is a name applied to migratory tropical cyclones that originate over oceans in certain regions near the equator and particularly to those arising in the West Indies region, including the Caribbean Sea and the Gulf of Mexico.

The tropics are defined as that area which lies between the Tropic of Cancer, 23.5 degrees north of the equator and the Tropic of Capricorn, 23.5 degrees south of the equator.

Most hurricanes originate within the doldrums, a narrow equatorial belt characterized by intermittent calms, light variable breezes, and frequent squalls, and lying between the northeast and southeast trade winds. As the doldrums of the Atlantic are situated largely to the north of the equator, hurricanes do not occur in the South Atlantic Ocean.

The Pacific doldrums extend north and south of the equator, thus hurricanes, or typhoons as they are known in the western Pacific, occur in the South and North Pacific oceans.

After a hurricane develops, a tremendous amount of energy is released. A moderate hurricane is capable of taking up from the ocean 15 million tons of water vapor a minute through the process of evaporation. The amount of energy released into the atmosphere by this transformation is the major driving force of the hurricane and what a driving force it is.

An "average" hurricane will release in 24 hours the energy equivalent to 500,000 Nagasaki-type atomic bombs or 400 20 Megaton hydrogen bombs (fusion) bombs.

This energy, if converted to electricity, would satisfy the electrical needs of the entire United States for more than six months.

This transformation of such tremendous amounts of energy is why tropical cyclones are called "heat engines," and when these

265. engines "rev up" and produce winds of 74 miles per hour or more we call them hurricanes.

In addition, an "average" hurricane produces over 200 billion tons of rainwater each day, an amount equal to the average annual flow of the Colorado river.

THE ORB: Be afraid, be very, very afraid.

HE: They are just like Mass Hypnotists .

BOOLE: Frequently alluded to as the "Greatest Storm on Earth," hurricanes are no strangers to the state of Florida. Nearly 40 percent of all hurricanes that have made landfall in the United States have struck Florida. Almost 100 hurricanes have struck the state since 1886 and the plurality of all "deadly" hurricanes, those causing 25 or more deaths, have struck Florida since 1900.

This being a state that is a peninsula that juts into warm tropical and subtropical waters that are the main traveling lanes for the atomic level, energy-producing monsters.

And, a state where 40 percent of its denizens are elderly, on fixed incomes, and reside in mobile homes or RVs. Somehow, to the astonishment of all, these aluminum structures suffer damage from one-half million atom bombs of energy.

BOOLE: The Russian famine of 1921, also known as Povolzhye famine, which began in the early spring of that year, and lasted through 1922, was a severe famine that occurred in Bolshevik Russia. The famine, which killed an estimated 5 million, affected mostly the Volga-Ural region.

The famine resulted from the combined effect of the disruption of the agricultural production, which already started during World War I and continued through the disturbances of the Russian Revolution of 1917 and Russian Civil War with its policy of War Communism, especially prodrazvyorstka.

One of Russia's intermittent droughts that happened in 1921

266. aggravated the situation to the level of the national catastrophe.

In many cases, recklessness of local administration, which recognized the problems only too late, contributed to the problem. Hunger was so severe that it was doubtful that seed-grain would be sown rather than eaten. At one point, relief agencies had to give grain to the railroad staff to get their supplies moved. Peasants often had to resort to eating weeds, food surrogates and even cannibalism trying to save seeds for planting in the fall.

The Russian famine of 1921 came at the end of six and a half years of unrest and violence (first World War I, then the two Russian revolutions of 1917, then the Russian Civil War). Many different political and military factions were involved in those events, and most of them have been accused by their enemies of having contributed to, or even bearing sole responsibility for, the famine.

The Communist government also mounted an attack against a resistant Russian Orthodox Church. V. I. Lenin, a Mongol-Muslim- Jew, or Kalmyk, stripped to Orthodoxy to provide for the relief of the famine victims, after a refusal by Patriarch Tikhon to sell off church valuables to raise needed funds to feed famine victims.

Many senior members of the church were executed, and even more deported. All on the Kalmyk's orders.

NARRATOR: He let out a yawn that could be heard in Hades and drowned-out a lighting bolt crash as he drifted off from the khat near Burpleson Air Force Base. It was that hot, that boring, that insignificant a day.

Just never dawned on him to listen to the radio as those swollen, weak, bloodshot eyes could barely find the bag. He drifts off into a narco-induced trance.

CUT TO:

NARRATOR: An American B1-B Lancer bomber races across the desert sky. He is the pilot. Along with him are a copilot, and two

267. weapons' systems (one offensive, one defensive) officers, or Wizzos, or Shiznits as they say in moron land. The four General Electric F-1-1-GE-102 turbofan -- with afterburners -- Jet engines rumble. The co-Pilot opens his microphone.

The Orb is floating behind him.

CO-PILOT: Sir, we are cruising around 900mph at about 25,000 feet dropping to 10,000. What is our final heading ?

HE: What do you mean what's the heading ? How did we get here ?

CO-PILOT: Focus on this mission, Major Kong, try to compartmentalize.

HE: Major, my ass.

CO-PILOT: Sir, we can't address a Major as “my ass.”

NARRATOR: From the earphones he hears the Wizzo’s meek voice.

WIZZO: Major King, Ace, we're ready. The target close is enough to see.

CO-PILOT: Commence arming.

WIZZO: Sir, all conventional armaments are armed and ready for your launch command. We've 10 CBU-103 WCMDs in one bay; eight GBU- 31, GPS-aided JDAMs in another bay, four Mk-84 general purpose bombs, four BLU-109 bunker busters; and eight AGM-158 Joint air- to-surface Standoff missiles in another.

CO-PILOT: What would you like launched first ?

HE (confused as hell): What ? Just who are you guys ?

CO-PILOT: Again, sir, that's not proper radio discipline, Major. Don't you have a speech for us ?

NARRATOR: The Orb appears.

THE ORB: What the hell is going on ?

BOOLE: The B-1 Lancer he saw was a typical American bomber. Manufactured by Rockwell International, now part of Boeing. It was introduced into the US Air Force inventory in 1986 at only $283 million dollars each, and based on 1998 dollars it was cheap. Of course of the 104 built only 67 or less are active and at least one-third have been mothballed. Or, they just decided to waste 10 billion dollars.

It is America’s long-range strategic bomber and combined with the B-52 Stratofortress and the B-2 Spirit, form the core of America’s long-range bombers.

The B-1 was conceived as the Advanced Manned Strategic Aircraft (AMSA) program circa 1965. After a prolonged development period, the contract was awarded in 1970 to Rockwell International. The first of four prototype B-1A models (s/n 74-158) flew on December 23, 1974. Intended as a high-speed, long-range bomber capable of a supersonic low-level dash and Mach 2.5 at altitude, the B-1A never went into production. The program was cancelled by decision of President Jimmy Carter in 1977, although flight tests of the four B-1A models continued through 1985.

The Reagan Administration restarted the B-1 program in 1981 as part of its overall military buildup. The B-1 was by then intended to serve as an interim bomber in anticipation of the stealthy Advanced Technology Bomber (which emerged as the B-2 Spirit). Cynics noted that the Air Force very astutely spread production subcontracts across many congressional districts, making the aircraft very popular on Capitol Hill.

The B-1 has a blended wing body configuration, along with variable- geometry wing design and turbofan engines, to improve range and speed with enhanced survivability. Forward wing settings are used for takeoff, landings, and high-altitude maximum cruise. Aft wing settings are used in high subsonic and supersonic flight, enhancing the B-1's performance. The wings of the B-1B originally were cleared for use at settings of 15, 25, 55, and 67.5 degrees; 45-degree settings were cleared in 1998–1999.

Originally designed strictly for nuclear war, the B-1's development as an effective conventional bomber was delayed until the 1990s.

269.

By 1991, the B-1 had a fledgling conventional capability, able to drop the 500 pound Mk-82 General Purpose (GP) bomb, although mostly from low altitude. After the absorption of Strategic Air Command (SAC) into Air Combat Command in 1992, the B-1 began to truly develop conventionally. A key part of this development was the stand-up of the B-1 Weapons School Division, also in 1992.

By the mid-90s, the B-1 could employ GP weapons as well as various CBUs. By the end of the 90s, with the advent of the "Block D" upgrade, the B-1 boasted a full array of guided and unguided munitions. This development has continued through the present.

Operationally, the B-1 was first used in combat in support of operations in Iraq during Operation Desert Fox in December 1998, employing unguided GP weapons. B-1s have been subsequently used in Operation Allied Force (Kosovo) and most notably in Operation Enduring Freedom in Afghanistan and Operation Iraqi Freedom. In OEF and OIF, the B-1 employed its full array of weapons, most notably the GBU-31, 2000 pound Joint Direct Attack Munition (JDAM). Also during OEF and OIF the B-1 had maintained a 79% mission capable rate, a considerable improvement over its previous 57% average rate. The B-1 continues to be used in combat.

The most recent addition to its arsenal is the GBU-38, a 500 pound JDAM. The use of the GBU-38 reduces undesired collateral damage and is very useful in urban CAS.

The B-1 holds several world records for speed, payload, and distance. The National Aeronautic Association recognized the B-1B for completing one of the 10 most memorable record flights for 1993.

17 people have been killed in B-1B crashes since the first production model's maiden flight in 1984 (as of 2001).

Although officially nicknamed the "Lancer", B-1 crews almost never refer to the aircraft by this name. Crews prefer to call the B-1 the "Bone."

Origins of the "Bone" nickname are disputed, but appear to stem from an early newspaper article about the aircraft wherein its name was phonetically spelled out as "B-ONE". Crews, who generally felt the "Lancer" moniker was unappealing, quickly latched onto the "Bone" nickname.

NARRATOR: Recommended reading for all war buffs and comic wannabes:

"Spandau: The Secret Diaries" by Albert Speer, written surreptitiously by Speer while he was merrily crocheting away the 20 years to-the-day he spent at Spandau Prison. It is a work of comic genius not seen again until Steve Martin's 1980 classic "Loose Shoes."

Especially RoTfLoLf are the salad days hitting the keggers in the Bunker near the end. Eva and Adolph were the perfect hosts; serving schnapps, steins of ale, strudel, and a killer vegan whey wiener schnitzel ala Holstein -- with capers -- to only the creme-

272. de-la-creme of A-List, Thule worshipers like Speer, Goebbels and Rapper Hermie G.

It was here where Adolph told the Michael Moore of the Rhineland, Leni Riefenstahl, that the reason the Russian campaign failed (and so the war) was that Germany had to postpone it for two months while they invaded Greece because the Greeks were handing the Italians their hat. The two months would have allowed the Nazis to reach Moscow before winter set in.

HE: Guess the BCE Fascists left that out of My Big Fat Greek Wedding.

BOOLE: America repaid the Greeks by allowing the Turks to murder 4.5 Million Greeks in Asia Minor, and even invade Cyprus, so they would join NATO. Yes, I know, the BCE Fascists left that out too.

NARRATOR: That cheery sidebar aside, who should drop by the bunker but the life of the party himself. [Fanfare plays.] The always candid, always cool, Heinrich Himmler, decided to show up and liven up the affair.

Soon the raucous good time became somewhat glum as the roaring sound of Soviet artillery explosions shook the once ebullient Hilton hideout.

Himmler, always the optimist -- he once noted that the Zyklon-B Gas Chamber was half-full, not half empty -- and not one to waste a day, decided to work on his resume between concussions, and somehow concluded that, after Ike has seen what great work Himmler had done over the past 10 years, that Eisenhower would appoint Himmler as Police Chief of Europe.

HE: Himmler was always a “My coffin is half filled” type. Just influenced by yet another Mass Hypnotist self-help guru.

BOOLE: Indeed. Always one to follow-up an interview, Himmler committed suicide soon after.

Some barking-at-the-moon, chirping-with-the-birds lunatics shouldn't be allowed outside of the house unless they have a helmet on.

273.

HE: Now that's entertainment, just ask the Powdered Princes of the Pentagon, like Wesley “Snarky” Clark, and Merrill “Jack Ripper” McPussy. None of whom are ever invited to a Wesson Oil night orgy.

ACE (on headset earphones): It's Ace, sir. From what I remember General “Jack Ripper” ordered that we bomb the life out of some first and third world nations because the United Nations told us not to.

THE ORB: Seems the BCE Fascists are hell-bent on bombing those we previously protected by bombing and murdering another 200,000 innocent noncombatants somewhere else. If we don't get another BCE Fascist atrocity in before the end of the year, the powers that be won't be happy.

HE: Besides, March 31 is coming up again and they'll want to celebrate more American inhumanity.

THE ORB: Serbia. We can't do this, not again. They've suffered enough and Russia and the entire Orthodoxy hate America worse than Islam.

ACE (on headset earphones): Major, it's Ace. We have orders to bomb the Arabic city of Durka Durka Durka. The KLA we protected in Balkans bombing the Serbs, these are their terrorist buddies.

WRITTEN ON SCREEN: "Patriotism is the last refuge of a scoundrel." - Dr. Samuel Johnson

BOOLE: It is the Battle of Karbala that the Shia commemorated in such a big way after the liberation of Iraq. It is the pivotal event in their history. But the Sunnis believe a much different story. They believe that the women and children were treated well after the battle and that Yazid’s army simply put down a rebellion by an envious rival.

274.

It is not just the significance of that battle and the role of the Imam that separate the Shia and the Sunnis. It is also their belief in what is to come. One might ask, if there always was, and will always be, an Imam, then who is he now ? That would be the hidden Imam: Muhammad al Mahdi. The largest sect of the Shias, called The Twelvers, believe there were twelve Imams after Muhammad and that the last, Imam Mahdi, still lives, but he cannot be seen, not until Allah determines it is time to prepare the faithful for Judgement Day.

The Twelvers believe that Imam Mahdi will return to lead the forces of righteousness against the forces of evil in a final, apocalyptic battle. Imam Mahdi will rule the world for several years, and all the people of the world will live in harmony. Then, Jesus will return, along with all the other Imams, and all the believers will be able to enter Paradise.

WRITTEN ON SCREEN: "To make us love our country, our country ought to be lovely." -Edmund Burke

BRYAN: Mr. Chairman and Members of the Notification Committee: I shall, at an early day, and in a more formal manner, accept the nomination you tender, and shall at that time discuss the various questions covered by the Democratic platform. It may not be out of place; however, to submit a few observations at this time upon the general character of the contest before us and upon the question which is declared to be of paramount importance in this campaign.

275.

When I say that this contest is a contest between Democracy on the one hand and plutocracy on the other I do not mean to say that all our opponents have deliberately chosen to give to organized wealth a predominating influence in the affairs of the Government, but I do assert that on the important issues of the day the Republican party is dominated by those influences which constantly tend to substitute the worship of mammon for the protection of the rights of man.

In 1859, Lincoln said that the Republican Party believed in the man and the dollar, but that in the case of conflict it believed in the man before the dollar. This is the proper relation which should exist between the two. Man, The handiwork of God, come first; money, the handiwork of man, is of inferior importance. Man is the master, money the servant, but upon all important questions today Republican legislation tends to make money the master and man the servant.

The maxim of Jefferson, "equal rights to all and special privileges to none," and the doctrines of Lincoln that this should be government "of the people, by the people and for the people," are being disregarded and the instrumentalities of government are being used to advance the interests of only those who are in a position to secure favors from the Government.

Against us are arrayed a comparatively small but politically and financially powerful number who really profit by Republican policies; but with them are associated a large number who, because of their attachment to their party name, are giving their support to doctrines antagonistic to the former teachings of their own party.

Republicans who used to advocate bimetallism now try to convince themselves that the gold standard is good; Republicans who were formerly attached to the greenback are now seeking an excuse for giving national banks control of the nation's paper money; Republicans who used to boast that the Republican party was paying off the national debt are now looking for reasons to support a perpetual and increasing debt; Republicans who formerly abhorred a

276. trust now beguile themselves with the delusion that there are good trusts and bad trusts, while in their minds, the line between the two is becoming more and more obscure; Republicans who, in times past, congratulated the country upon the small expense of our standing army, are now making light of the objections which are urges against a large increase in the permanent military establishment; Republicans who glorified in our independence when the nation was less powerful now look with favor upon a foreign alliance; Republicans who once condemned "forcible annexation" as immoral and even criminal are now sure that it is both immoral and criminal to oppose forcible annexation. That partisanship has already blinded many to present dangers is certain; how large a portion of the Republican party can be drawn over to the new policies remains to be seen.

Someone once said that a truth once spoken can never be recalled. It goes on and on and no one can set a limit to its ever-widening influence. But if it were possible to obliterate every word written or spoken in defense of the principles set forth in the Declaration of Independence, a war of conquest would leave its legacy of perpetual hatred, for it was God Himself who placed in every human heart the love of liberty. He never made a race of people so low in the scale of civilization or intelligence that it would welcome a foreign master.

Imperialism means that we shall send a few traders, a few taskmasters, a few office holders and an army large enough to support the authority of a small fraction of the people while they rule the natives. Imperialism would be profitable to the Army contractors; it would be profitable to the shipowners who would carry the live soldiers to war and bring dead soldiers back; it would be profitable to those who would seize upon the franchises, and it would be profitable to the officials whose salaries would be fixed here and paid over there; but to the farmer, to the laboring man, and to the vast majority of those engaged in other occupations, militarism and imperialism bring expenditures without return and risk without reward.

Added to this insult would be the greatest betrayal of all as American capital will leave our shores to employ cheap foreign

277. labor slaving over the blood of our dead at the expense of grieving families at home.

The destiny of this republic is not to have it own people last, to have America last, but it is in the hands of its own people, and upon the success of the experiment rests the hope of humanity. Behold a republic in which civil and religious liberties stimulate all to earnest endeavours. Behold a republic in which every citizen is a sovereign, but in which no man wears a crown. Behold a republic, resting securely upon the foundation stones quarried by revolutionary patriots from the mountain of eternal truths. Behold a republic standing erect while empires all around are bowed beneath the weight of their own armaments. Behold a republic whose flag is loved while other flags are fear, a republic whose history, like the path of the just, "is as the shining light that shineth more and more unto the perfect day."

WRITTEN ON SCREEN: “The cause of civil liberty must not be surrendered at the end of one, or even one hundred defeats." -- Abraham Lincoln

BOOLE: Dwight D. Eisenhower's biographer, Stephen Ambrose, has written that: "We [Americans] are guilty of murdering innocent civilians when we bombed non-military targets such as Dresden [Germany] during the Second World War."

Unfortunately, this does not seem to bother America's more recent crop of BCE Fascist "leaders" because, since 1947, it is upped its missionary-like zeal to bring "democracy" to the world -- you know, real post-1960s American-style "democracy."

Like the democrats seeking the "right" of all peoples everywhere to "choose" between arugula or soy burgers; the “Right” to stop your industrialization and fuel consumption so Bilderberger NIMBY Westerners have more food to eat and gas only the rich can afford; the "right" to select who will pollute the brains of their

278. children by being able to "choose" between “Oprah”, “The View” or “The Talk”; and the "right" to pick the kind of sexual partners one wishes to couple with: male to male, female to female, male or female with chickens, goats, females on MSNBC, or sundry other retarded family members.

And of course, coinciding with that mission has come the BCE Fascist’s negative eugenics to America and the world; the "right" of all women to adhere to the loving dictates of "real" American Mass Hypnotists who tell them they can "choose" to abort or not have a life because they are poor.

Since WWII America has bombed, in alphabetical order: AFGHANISTAN, BOSNIA, CAMBODIA, CHINA, CONGO, CUBA, GRENADA, GUATEMALA, INDONESIA, IRAQ, NORTH and SOUTH KOREA, LAOS, LEBANON, LIBYA, NICARAGUA, PAKISTAN, PANAMA, SOMALIA, SUDAN, VIETNAM and ALL SERBIAN AREAS IN YUGOSLAVIA.

No wonder these "ungrateful" foreigners hate America.

NARRATOR: Here are 300 reasons not to stay a Mass Hypnotist America of so long.

BOOLE: The ancient Spartans once conquered their neighbors, the Messenians, for their fertile lands. They turned the conquered Messenians into agricultural slaves called helots.

You might describe the helots' lives as the life of a "serf," for they worked small plots of land on estates owned by Spartans; part of their produce went to the master of the estate, and the remainder went to the helot farmer and his family.

HE: Sounds like Southern sharecroppers, or the 2,000,000 American farmers that have been aborted, and extorted, into 35 million illegal hat-dancers working for Con-Agra of this world, and their various Washington DC lobbyists.

NARRATOR: Just as he said that a group of Monarch butterflies, so thick they blocked out the sun, flew overhead.

279.

BOOLE: There's no question that the life of the helots was a miserable life. Labor was long and hard and the helots always lived right on the border of being a subsistence farmer.

Helots were ruthlessly controlled, primarily through the secret police or Krypteia.

HE: Think TSA and Truth Squads.

BOOLE: The ideology of Sparta was oriented around the state, not religion. The individual lived (and died) for the state. Their lives were designed to serve only the state from their beginning to the age of sixty.

The combination of this ideology, the education of Spartan males, and the disciplined maintenance of a standing army gave the Spartans the stability that had been threatened so dramatically in the Messenean revolt.

But it was actually Spartan society that changed. The military and the city-state became the center of Spartan existence. The state determined whether children, both male and female, were strong when they were born; weakling infants were left in the hills to die of exposure. They starved them to death without food and water. Exposing the very weak or sickly children to starvation death was a common practice in the Greek world, but Sparta institutionalized it as a state activity rather than a darling domestic activity.

They were renowned for also using their sick and elderly as human target practices. Like an ad hoc death panel.

HE: Right to die starvation and suicides, partial-birth abortion, pro-choice, death panels, forced pedophilic homosexuality, the criminalizing of Home-schooling, and socialized everything. Five of the 300 reasons.

BOOLE: At the age of seven, if they had not been killed, every male Spartan was sent to a military and athletic school called the Agoge.

280.

The Agoge was a rigorous education and training regime undergone by every Spartan male except for the heirs to the kingships.

HE: Much like the children of the rich and Congress.

BOOLE: Supposedly introduced by the semi-mythical Spartan lawgiver Lycurgus it trained boys from the age of seven to 18.

It involved education, military training, hunting, dance and social preparation. Boys were taken from the family home and from then on lived in groups and encouraged to owe their loyalty to their communal mess hall rather than their families.

These schools taught toughness, discipline, endurance of pain (often severe pain), and survival skills. They indoctrinated them into the city-state wishes.

HE: I get it. Kind of like the NEA, TSA, and CNSF.

BOOLE: There was also an emphasis on fighting fears and superstition of the past through the use of a state-controlled educational system of the Agoge.

At twenty, after thirteen years of training, the Spartan became a soldier. The Spartan soldier spent his life with his fellow soldiers; he lived in barracks and ate all his meals with his fellow soldiers.

He also married, but he didn't live with his wife; one Athenian once joked that Spartans had children before they even saw the face of their wives. The marriage ceremony had an unusual ritual involved: at the end of the ceremony, the man carried his wife off as if he were taking her by force; though this did not mean, however, that the status of women was bad in Sparta.

Only at the age of thirty, did the Spartan man become an "equal," and was allowed to live in his own house with his own family although he continued to serve in the military.

Military service ended at the age of sixty. How did the soldier survive ? How did Sparta afford to feed young men who did nothing but soldier in their twenties ? Each soldier was granted a piece

281. of land, which he probably never saw; this land was farmed, of course, by the helots, the poorest farmer.

HE: Oh, I get it, the helots are doing the work that the Spartans don’t want to.

BOOLE: Yet women were freer than in other Greek societies; they even negotiated with their husbands to bring their lovers into their homes.

THE ORB: Bet that made the BCE Fascists happy. Was that pronounced Agoge, I-pod, or X-box ?

NARRATOR: Many bikers gather on PI during the weekends for the music and cookouts. The Arab bikers were not partial to Hog Roasts or beer chugging contests. They were there for quite another reason. A score to settle.

Everywhere is the ear-piercing sounds of Harley’s being needlessly revved.

As they searched for him the Caliphs didn’t stand out, except for their swords, which they poorly hid on the sides of their bikes in long saddle bags. Nor, could he hear them ride, or tell them apart from the RUBY’s.

There was a hog roast and music that weekend and every independent RUBY biker from Sarasota to Naples was there. This, again, the Caliphs avoided.

THE ORB: Must have gout.

NARRATOR: Watching just behind, by the Ragged Ass Bar, Telly and the Imams see him heading south to Queeg’s boat at one of the many launches.

The Caliphs also spot him and Ali is just about to corner him at the south side of the island, next to restaurant called the Waterfront.

Telly and the Imams cut off Ali just as the restaurant’s owner, a man-mountain known only as JD, rushes out in anger with a 10-foot gaffe hook and chases the invaders away.

JD: No one fucks with my lunch business except these the Lee County zoning faggots.

ALI: Telly, the snake, we will meet you at the bridge. We east side, you snakes on the west.

NARRATOR: What most men like him, with or without Boole’s help, knew about boats could fit into the same sized book as great Florida physicists.

Apologies to Einstein's foe, Dr. John "Black Hole" Wheeler.

According to the saying, the two most satisfying days in a man's life are when he buys his boat, and when he sells it. That sums it up for him, just substitute wedding and divorce and you'll see the analogy or simile, or ah, correlation, something like that.

It occurred to him that whoever said that aforementioned saying about buying and selling of a boat is the same beer marketing, target age group type, weekend fishermen who say, "It doesn't get much better than this."

Well, nouveau riche, if you're ever stupid enough to say that line you obviously have not gotten a Diane Sawyer / W. Mark Felt-Deep Throat, toe curling fellatio from a tattoo-less, tanned, blue- eyed, designer pubis, tight bodied, sensuous, 18 year old, 5' 9", UCLA attending, surf bunny coed with long blonde hair, non-pierced natural 36 d-cup solid as a rock young pups, and an aerobicized butt you could use as a bumper car bumper, while you both are lying on the shores of Lake Havisu.

BOOLE: The definition of "assassination" varies among sources, the The American Heritage Dictionary defines "to assassinate" thus:... to murder [a prominent person] by surprise attack, as for political reasons; however, the Oxford English Dictionary's definition is: The action of assassinating; the taking the life of any one by treacherous violence, esp. by a hired emissary, or one who has taken upon him to execute the deed.

There is a dispute whether the term assassination should include killings wherein the primary motivation is attracting attention to a political cause, and wherein the victim is of secondary importance (and might be famous, but unrelated to the dispute, or even an unknown).

This leads to a number of possible definitions - which may however not all apply in any specific case: the killing of someone by treacherous violence, the killing of someone in the public view -- i.e., honor killing, the killing of someone for political, moral, or ideological reasons.

For him, the third definition predominates, even though the second is often used, and the first would often be found in colloquial use.

NARRATOR: Scanning the dock-side for a clean-cut guide he noticed a small flat boat with a rather large engine and a not-so-well written sign that read: "$100 Haf day fishing tuors."

HE: Hmm, this man, like me, is a product of Florida public education.

NARRATOR: This boat was named the "Rachel Pequod." It was about a 20-foot-long, fiberglass coffin from where he stood. A large cooler seemed to take up half the space.

HE (to the captain): Interesting name, the Rachel Pequod.

284.

NARRATOR: The tour guide he chose was the same seemingly Bush/Clinton/Bush, paxil/prozac/zofol challenged, still fighting the war vet, and legendary local he had seen at the various island watering holes many times before. Only this time he wasn't swearing against the federal government, claiming Roswell exists or deriding French midgets.

Turns out, the Captain's name was Queeg and he was wearing a not so reassuring t-shirt with these "Original Rules of Fishing" on it:

Rule 10) Release: The intentional loss of a fish at the boat, Rule 9) You must hook them to cook them, Rule 8) If it isn't dead it isn't caught, Rule 7) Don't go home till the boxes are FULL, Rule 6) Big enough to hook, big enough to cook, Rule 5) Never enough time for just one more fish, Rule 4) Kill everything, sort at the dock, Rule 3) What do you mean bag limit ?, Rule 2) Catch-a fancy word for kill, and Rule 1) Don't go home until the beer runs out.

QUEEG (dead-pan voice): People call me Queeg.

THE ORB: Queeg ? Manson seems better suited.

NARRATOR: He was a weathered, drunk looking, middle-aged man of average size, save his distended belly, more tatoos than Cher, Rosie O'Donnell breath, and a Taliban-long, bug-infested beard and hair.

He too wouldn't have made it by the progressive Red Terrorist panel, or worked well for Rin Tin Tin.

He introduced himself, gave Queeg one hundred dollars for what would have been a by-yourself Mass Hypnotist Hell happy hour, only now he could think of the good eats he should get in return.

QUEEG: No need to buy food, I brought all the good luck food.

HE: Great, Chief.

285.

QUEEG: Call me, Cap'n, I'm a retired hundred-ton vessel Captain.

THE ORB: Oh great, Captain Queeg has multiple personalities to go along with that look.

HE (sarcastically to himself): What does 100-ton mean ?

THE ORB: Think PI and Sanibel/Captiva women.

NARRATOR: He thought a while longer then decided to ask something more the Captain’s level.

HE: Gosh, Cap'n, what kind of food ? Always did like a good rib eye steak, lobster bisque, or grouper sandwiches. You got a banana ? I am hungry.

QUEEG (rants): Banana ! That will awaken Davy Jones for sure. You better not have no pork, bananas or broad on board, mate. [Takes a calming big gulp of a fresh Heineken.] Besides, we've got chicken Vienna sausages, sardines, and potted roast beef. Hmm, hmm, hmm, you don't get seasick, do you ?

HE: No, sir. [Then he thought to himself.] Should have taken my Bonine.

NARRATOR: Given the thought of any kind of Vienna sausage crossing his lips, tossing his cookies in a retching, panicked dirge off the rising stern of the sinking Titanic seemed a pleasant activity.

BOOLE: The boat Queeg used to tour people, as he would be he, was a 21-foot long "Flats Cats."

NARRATOR: He found the large engine somewhat comforting as they motored at idle speed through the canals and into the Intracoastal Waterway. According to Cap'n Queeg, this idle speed was posted and required by law so not disturb the crab-killing and constantly defecating manatees.

HE: On second thought, it seemed odd that the engine seemed bigger than the boat.

286.

NARRATOR: Unfortunate for the manatee, sea otters, and flippers of this world, those tortoise eclipsing limits are not required in the channels of the Intracoastal. According to the Cap'n, "right- of-way" was the mere difference between which boat was the biggest and which the fastest and he always had the right-of-way.

BOOLE: Thus, he assumed, the Pratt-Whitney at the stern.

NARRATOR: As he was on a relatively small craft, he now felt somewhat unsafe. Looking over his shoulder at the back of the boat as they were about to hit the throttle he asked Queeg what type of engine that was and why was it so large in proportion to the boat. And the paranoid, Heineken-gulping, liberal-hating, manic depressive, megalomaniac was in form.

QUEEG: It's a Honda BF 200 four stroke. Meanest mother-grabber in the world, top throttle of 200 horsepower at 5500 rpm prop shaft.

HE (aloud and worried in tone): Is that normal for this length of boat ?

QUEEG: Hell no, the boat is rated for 150 horsepower maximum. Hold on to your marbles cause we're going for a ride.

THE ORB (screaming full voice): This ought to be interesting !

NARRATOR: At that point the now seemingly inebriated Cap'n Queeg slammed the throttle forward and they went from zero to sixty in about five nanoseconds.

The g-forces began to hyper flex his neck as he was thrown to the stern, now holding on to the pole platform on top of the engine, also aft, for dear life. All this while he was scraping love bugs and dragonflies by the scores from his face and 5‘n’10 sunglasses.

QUEEG: She cruises nice, doesn't she ?

HE (speaking in a hollow, bug-gulping yelp): This is cruising ?

QUEEG (speaking in wind torn tongues): Oh yea, let's show you overdrive.

287.

THE ORB: The Maginot Line was a smarter idea.

NARRATOR: While spitting out a tern turd he saw the Captain Kirk wannabe start yelling "yeeeeeehaaaaw" like Major Kong riding a nuke to greater glory in Kubrick’s "Dr. Strangelove, Or: How I Learned to Stop Worrying and Love the Bomb," and nearly tear the throttle off.

He began lurching backward and upwards as this flat little scud missile's bow rose way above the 5 inches it was rated for. Soon the scud began to hydroplane on top of the waves like Johnny Quest at warp speed, killing all living, breathing sea creatures in its wake.

Glancing aft while spitting more gobs of tern turds and feathers to the leeward he noticed bloodied water teeming with mangled manatee, pureed otters, and filleted flippers.

According to Cap'n Queeg they were going a hundred.

HE: Knots or miles per hours ?

QUEEG: Knots, my landlubber brother, knots. That’s like comparing dollars to pounds.

BOOLE: Or Euros, or Canadian dollars, or Yen, or Marks.

NARRATOR: He nearly blacked out as the surviving, and not-wishing- to-be disemboweled sea creatures of all sorts began to seek shelter in deeper water.

WIPE TO:

HE: You told me to go all blue and use the black rubber, remember ? For the shine and the rubber can be burned. And composite for the buttstock as it is lighter and more easily broken up than a hardwood or metal.

BOOLE: Oh, the manual, that’s right. So you were paying attention.

288.

HE: That’s what the paperwork said. But then I separately ordered the Excalibur accessories to change it to a rifle with a 3.9 x 40MM rifle scope as well a pistol with a pistol scope because of eye relief. And then a butt stock, a 24” or 28” inch rifle barrel, drilled and tapped with for the aforementioned scope mount, and an easily screwed on and detached forend, and receiver assembly.

BOOLE: And the good thing is that blued and stainless barrels and receivers interchange without difficulty so if you can’t convert calibers, you might be able to buy a barrel, on the market as it were, then cannibalize the hammer pin too.

HE: Sweet, ass, sweet. And what did they say about detail stripping and demolition of the evidence, eh Excalibur ?

BOOLE (annoyed that he has to repeat this all the time): It can be field stripped and disposed of in seconds. Stripped by tapping out the hinge pin to remove the barrel and then popping off the forend assembly, scope and butt stock with improvised screws.

HE: I got it, I got it.

BOOLE: You used different payment methods ?

HE: Right: fake names, fake IDs, cash, fake gift cards, and small money orders from different convenient stores out of the area.

BOOLE: Well then. You’re fast and furiously ready. Do you know where and when ?

HE: Right after my fishing excursion. Perfect cover for being in the area. What next ?

BOOLE: Describe the Excalibur specs.

NARRATOR: He rattles off the specs like a pro.

BOOLE: It had caught his eye as if ordained by God. But the Excalibur , now modified, that was to be his sword.

289.

HE: But what of the bullet, the caliber of Excalibur ?

BOOLE: Never mind that for now, repeat the acronym.

NARRATOR: This time, he sort of knew the acronym B.R.A.S.S.:

B - breath control, take a deep breath, exhale, take another deep breath and exhale half way:

R - mental and physical relaxation, as you quickly set your natural point of aim.

A - aim; stock weld to cheek and shoulder cushion; eye relief; hand positioning.

S - sight alignment and sight picture. Get exact eye relief (id est, the distance between the eye and the scope), find the center of mass of the target, focus on front sight -- in this case the cross hairs -- then see the target's mass blur; and, lastly and most importantly;

S - slack and squeeze, or the slow, steady, even movement of the trigger completely to the rear using only the front pad of the shooter's right index finger until the hammer falls.

NARRATOR: Cap'n Queeg, now seemingly devoid of SAT concerns, never did understand even the basics of physics. Momentum was one of those not understood properties. When a flat boat, traveling at light speed hits a sandbar, the boat stops dead in its tracks. Unfortunately for the individuals in the boat, they keep going at the same speed.

In the case of this modern Davy Jones, the engine instantly died and the constantly drinking Cap'n was pushed over the console and off the starboard side of the vessel. Seeing this with glee from the back of the boat it never dawned on him that momentum travels backwards and within what seemed like an eon, but most likely a

290. millisecond, he too was rushing forward with great gusto and directly into the half dozen, multi-hooked fishing poles standing straight up in the forward center of the boat’s console.

The good news is that he didn't enter the water. The bad news is that it would have been tough as he resembled a creature from a Clive Barker novel; impaled and entangled in every size hook and line known to mankind.

The Cap'n was not enraged over the accident, or his predicament, but was peeved at the loss of his beloved open bottle of Heineken.

QUEEG (laughing in hysterics while standing ankle deep in water): While you're just standing there doing nothing hand us a beer.

HE: Priorities notwithstanding, but I believe one of the thirty circle hooks in me has found its way to my scrotum.

QUEEG (banal sarcasm): Oh no, that's bad.

HE (exclaiming to the Heavens): No shit, Dick Tracy ! How to get this thing out ?

QUEEG (doing a good Donald Sutherland imitation from the movie Kelly’s Heroes): Always with them negative waves, Moriarty, always with them negative waves.

HE (near tears): Cap'n, there is a hook in my crouch, Deepak Chopa and Tony Robbins couldn't find positive cash flow or self-help in this situation.

NARRATOR: Queeg jumped in the boat and unhooked him save the underpinning.

QUEEG: We're just going to have to leave it in and cut the line.

HE (wide-eyed): Say what ?

QUEEG: Have you ever seen the movie ?

NARRATOR: At that word Cap'n Queeg ripped that pesky hook and a pound of scrotal flesh out with impunity.

291.

HE (high lonesome voice, and nearly passing out): I am ready for my close-up, Mister DeMille.

QUEEG: Now you know how a fish feels.

NARRATOR: Cap'n Queeg was a much wiser man than looks, and staggers would suggest. They pressed on. There was more weird life to get.

Swish, Swish, Swish

BOOLE: Once upon a time (75 million years ago to be more precise) there was an alien galactic ruler named Xenu. Xenu was in charge of all the planets in this part of the galaxy including our own planet Earth, except in those days it was called Teegeeack. Now Xenu had a problem. All of the 76 planets he controlled were overpopulated. Each planet had on average 178 billion people. He wanted to get rid of all the overpopulation so he had a plan.

Xenu took over complete control with the help of renegades to defeat the good people and the Loyal Officers. Then with the help of psychiatrists, he called in billions of people for income tax inspections where they were instead given injections of alcohol and glycol mixed to paralyse them. Then they were put into space planes that looked exactly like DC8s (except they had rocket motors instead of propellers).

These DC8 space planes then flew to planet Earth where the paralysed people were stacked around the bases of volcanoes in their hundreds of billions. When they had finished stacking them around then H-bombs were lowered into the volcanoes. Xenu then detonated all the H-bombs at the same time and everyone was killed.

The story doesn't end there. Since everyone has a soul (called a "thetan" in this story) then you have to trick souls into not coming back again. So while the hundreds of billions of souls were being blown around by the nuclear winds he had special electronic traps that caught all the souls in electronic beams (the

292. electronic beams were sticky like fly-paper, think “Ghostbusters”).

After he had captured all these souls he had them packed into boxes and taken to a few huge cinemas. There all the souls had to spend days watching special 3D motion pictures that told them what life should be like and many confusing things. In this film, they were shown false pictures and told they were of God, The Devil and Christ. In the story, this Space Opera, this process is called "implanting".

Even though all this happened about 75,9980,000 years BC they now learned that there was no real Christ, the man on the cross was everyman. Oh, the main “implant station” is in Hawaii.

HE: Go figure.

BOOLE: When the films ended and the souls left the cinema these souls started to stick together because since they had all seen the same film they thought they were the same people. They clustered in groups of a few thousand. Now because there were only a few living bodies left they stayed as clusters and inhabited these bodies.

As for Xenu, the Loyal Officers finally overthrew him and they locked him away in a mountain on one of the planets. He is kept in by a force-field powered by an eternal battery and Xenu is still alive today, locked away in an electric mountain top. (Again, think “Ghostbusters” eco-containment system.)

That is the end of the story. And so today everyone is full of these clusters of souls called "body thetans". And if we are to be a free soul then we have to remove all these "body thetans" and pay lots of money to do so. And the only reason people believe in God and Christ was because it was in the film their body thetans saw 75 million years ago.

HE: What the heck was that, the synopsis of a new “Ghostbusters” remake ?

THE ORB: You asked him.

WRITTEN ON SCREEN: “Full fathom five thy father lies; Of his bones are coral made; Those are pearls that were his eyes: Nothing of him that doth fade But doth suffer a sea-change Into something rich and strange. Sea-nymphs hourly ring his kneel: Ding-ding ! Hark ! now I hear them,--ding-dong, bell” -- William Shakespeare

NARRATOR: While making their way through another manatee feces- filled, idle speed zone, he noticed a lone fisherman in a small, very sharp looking wooden boat. His looks were quintessential- island: naturally dark skin with white palms, curly black hair just touched by gray, island thin, and adorned with a proper baseball cap, turquoise jewelry, and most important, no long sleeve yuppie fishing shirt. This had to be a local. The Cap'n pulled next to him and asked about catching bait and the best spots for reds.

When introduced all he could say was:

HE: My name is Ishmael.

NARRATOR: The native had the perfect retort.

NATIVE (in a New York City accented voice): How nice, I read Melville too, my name is Queequeg. And I'm a vegetarian who likes to fish.

NARRATOR: He was speechless as Cap'n Queeg ripped the boat into warp factor three and Queequeg departed. The Captain noticed his silence.

QUEEG: What do you think of the island's resident aborigine ?

HE: Just can't believe his name is Queequeg. Is he an aborigine

294. from Australia ?

NARRATOR: According to the Cap'n 12-step, his new friend Queequeg was not an aborigine from Australia, rather was born in Brooklyn, New York of Armenian and Dutch parents and named Winston Smith.

His nickname was Stubby. He let it go. So much for his ability to profile. Still, Winston did look like a Queequeg.

BOOLE: The third dimension is the SOLID, such as a cube. It contains an infinite number of planes or squares.

Temporally, the third dimension represents the Past. The disc of the second dimension (Present) turns one-half time around its axis and fills out the sphere of the past.

The third dimension brings out the Real numbers. Real numbers start from zero and connect fractions of the same numerical value, leading to the proportions and functions.

The proportions are the basis of continuity and harmony. They connect fractions of the same value to zero. The functions are the basis of discontinuity. They connect products by which bodies are in relation, as for instance in the atom, where the distances of the electron shells follow the numbers of the central diagonal 1 - 4 - 9 - 16, and the possible number of electrons in each shell, the capacity, follow the diagonal 2 - 8 - 18 - 32.

The rational numbers of the second dimension, and the whole and natural numbers of the first and zero dimension, all have a fixed place on the number line.

The Real numbers in the third dimension are, however, fundamentally different; although they are located somewhere on the number line, they have no fixed place there.

To the ancient Greeks who first developed mathematics to a high art in the West, all numbers had to have a fixed location somewhere on the number line. The existence of the Real numbers, with no fixed location, was known only to a few high initiates in

295. the Pythagorean brotherhood who swore to keep it secret. It can be easily understood today by way of the Pythagorean theorem:

The Pythagorean Theorem exemplifies the rational numbers. But what happens if A and B both equal 1 ? In this case, C must equal the square root of 2. But the square root of two is an irrational Real number. It is a number which goes on and on with no repetition into infinity. 1.41421 .... It is a never ending number and has no fixed place on the number line.

Unlike an infinite rational number which goes on and on, but repeats, such as a third (.3333333...), where we can know the exact location on the number line, with a Real number, we can only know its approximate location. There are other examples of Real numbers, such as Pi (the ratio of a circumference of a circle to its diameter), the square root of any prime number, e, etc. These Real numbers never end and never repeat.

BOOLE: An evil albino is a villain in fiction who is depicted as displaying several physical traits usually associated with albinism. Although not necessarily being affected by that particular condition but with the specific and obvious purpose of distinguishing the villain in question from the heroes by means of appearance. Traits of albinism commonly associated with the evil albino stereotype include pale skin, platinum blonde hair, and blue or red eyes. Notably absent from most depictions is impaired vision, which is experienced by a significant portion of real people with albinism.

NARRATOR: The stereotype has become sufficiently well recognized to attract satire. In The Big Over Easy, Jasper Fforde includes a protest against it by "the albino community" among his imaginary news clippings, most of which satirize stock characters and hackneyed plot devices.

BOOLE: These days the Mass Hypnotists , and progressive Red Terrorists , have made Serbians the real-life personification of the fictional evil Albino and the oafish Amish. And even though it is mostly they that have been ethnically cleansed by the millions since before WWI -- and especially during and after WWII -- Hollywood still smites them, and as noted before, have had the audacity to say that the Serbs haven’t got much PR in America.

HE: Hmmm, so most Mass Hypnotists regret helping the weakest and typically vilify the Serbs.

THE ORB: Don’t give away all their secrets.

HE: How many movies have the Serbs been vilified since the Bosnian and Kosovo wars of the 1990s ?

BOOLE: Just about as many as the Amish and Albinos.

HE: Far more horrific than just typecasting, more in line with “ The Big Lie . ”

THE ORB: When you see the light don’t mistake the attraction. Right, Boole ?

BOOLE: Here is some light for you.

Jasenovac concentration camp (in Croatian: Logor Jasenovac) was the largest concentration and extermination camp in Croatia during

301.

World War II.

It was established by the Ustaša (Ustasha) regime of the Independent State of Croatia in August 1941. It was dismantled in April 1945.

Unlike other concentration and extermination camps, in Jasenovac the main victims were ethnic Serbs, whom Ante Pavelic considered the main racial enemy of NDH, although other groups, like Jews, Gypsies, and even Croats were also the victims there.

Jasenovac was a complex of five subcamps and three smaller camps spread out over 240 square kilometers (93 square miles), in relatively close proximity to each other, on the bank of the Sava river.

Most of the camp was at Jasenovac, about 100 km (62 miles) southeast of Zagreb. The complex also included large grounds at Donja Gradina directly across the Sava river, a camp for children in Sisak to the northwest, and a women's camp in Stara Gradiška to the southeast.

Some of the first legal orders of the new country reflected the acceptance of the ideology of Nazi Germany and Fascist Italy, with an emphasis placed on Croatian national issues.

The first "Legal order for the defence of the people and the state" dated April 17, 1941, ordered the death penalty for "infringement of the honour and vital interests of the Croatian people and the survival of the Independent State of Croatia".

It was soon followed by the "Legal order of races" and the "Legal order of the protection of Aryan blood and the honour of the Croatian people" dated April 30, 1941, as well as the "Order of the creation and definition of the racial-political committee" dated June 4, 1941. The enforcement of these legal acts was done not only through normal courts but also new out-of-order courts, as well as mobile court-martials with extended jurisdictions.

The normal jails could no longer sustain the rate of new inmates and the Ustaša government started preparing the grounds what would become the Jasenovac concentration camp by July 1941.

302.

The Jasenovac complex was built between August 1941 and February 1942. The first two camps, Krapje and Brocica, were closed in November 1941.

The three newer camps continued to function until the end of the war:

Ciglana (Jasenovac III) Kozara (Jasenovac IV) Stara Gradiška (Jasenovac V)

The creation of the camp and its management and supervision were entrusted to Department III of a special police force called Ustaška Narodna Služba or UNS (lit. "Ustaše People's Service").

This organization was headed by Vjekoslav "Maks" Luburic. Several others were involved in commanding the camp at different times, including Miroslav Majstorovic and Dinko Šakic.

The Ustaše interned mostly Serbs in Jasenovac. Other victims included Jews, Bosniaks, Gypsies, and opponents of the Ustaša regime. Most of the Jews were murdered there until August 1942, when they started being deported to the Auschwitz concentration camp.

Jews were sent to Jasenovac from all parts of Croatia after being gathered in Zagreb, and from Bosnia and Herzegovina after being gathered in Sarajevo. Some came directly from other cities and smaller towns.

Opon their arrival, most were killed at execution sites near the camp: Granik, Gradina, and other places. Those kept alive were mostly skilled at needed professions and trades (doctors, pharmacists, electricians, shoemakers, goldsmiths, and so on) and were employed in services and workshops at Jasenovac.

The living conditions in the camp were extremely severe: a meager diet, deplorable accommodations, a particularly cruel regime, and cruel behavior by the Ustaše guards. The conditions improved only for short periods during visits by delegations, such as the press delegation that visited in February 1942 and a Red Cross delegation in June 1944.

303.

Similar to Nazi concentration camp badges, at first the prisoners were marked with colors: blue for Serbs, and red for communists, while Gypsies had no marks. This was later abandoned.

Unimaginable mass murder and cruelty... a knife worn over the hand that was used by the Ustasa militia for the fast killing of inmates in concentration camps. These acts of murder and cruelty reached their peak in the late summer of 1942 when tens of thousands of Serbian villagers were deported to Jasenovac from the area of the fighting against the partisans in the Kozara mountain (in Bosnia).

Most of the men were immediately killed at Jasenovac.

The women were sent to forced labor in Germany, and the children were taken from their mothers; some were murdered and others were dispersed to Catholic orphanages.

This also happened to the Greek children in the Greek revolution in which then communist Croatia kidnapped 28,000 children and dispersed them into communist families.

On the night of August 29, 1942, bets were made among the prison guards as to who could liquidate the largest number of inmates.

One of the guards, Petar Brzica reportedly cut the throats of 1,360 prisoners with a butcher knife. Having been proclaimed the prize-winner of the competition, he was dubbed "King of the Cut- throats". A gold watch, a silver service, a roasted suckling pig, and wine were among his rewards. The type of knife used for cutting prisoners' throats became known as srbosjek ("Serb- cutter").

Prisoners in Jasenovac were forced to drink water from Sava river with ren (horseradish). At the last moment, in January 1945, more than 50,000 prisoners who were able to walk were led from the camp.

The end of the camp came in April 1945 as the partisan army approached the camp. The Ustaša attempted to erase traces of the atrocities by working the death camp at full capacity.

304.

On April 22, 600 prisoners revolted: 520 were killed and 80 escaped. Before leaving the camp around April 22, the Ustaša killed the remaining prisoners, blasted and destroyed the buildings, guard-houses, torture rooms, the "Picili Furnace" and the other structures.

Upon entering the camp, the liberators found only ruins, soot, smoke, and dead bodies.

During the following months of 1945, the grounds of Jasenovac were thoroughly destroyed by forced labourers, composed of 200 to 600 Domobran soldiers captured by the Partisans, thereby making the area a labor camp. They levelled the camp to the ground and among other things dismantled a two-kilometer long, four-meter high wall that surrounded it.

There are various statistics and estimates about the number of victims who died in the Jasenovac camp, mainly from the lack of exact records, and to various interests involved in estimating them.

The numbers mentioned most often range from the tens of thousands, which is the most common cited contemporary figure, to the hundreds of thousands, which was the most frequently quoted assessment until the 1990s.

Serbs constituted the majority of victims. The actual number of victims killed in the Jasenovac camp is impossible to ascertain definitely, so the figures vary widely.

The approximations in the death count also come from the fact that in cases where entire families were exterminated, no one was left to submit their names to the lists. Additionally, sometimes it happened that some people from the lists were killed elsewhere, or that they survived but were not heard of, or that there were duplicates.

Victim list counts: The Jasenovac Memorial Area keeps a list of 69,842 names of Jasenovac victims: 39,580 Serbs, 14,599 Roma, 10,700 Jews, 3,462 Croats as well as people of some other ethnicities.

Several other partial lists from other sources exist. The Belgrade

305.

Museum of the Holocaust keeps a list of 80,022 names of the victims (mostly from Jasenovac): around 52,000 Serbs, 16,000 Jews, 12,000 Croats and nearly 10,000 Roma.

Antun Miletic, a researcher at the Military Archives in Belgrade, has collected data on Jasenovac since 1979. His list contains 77,200 victims, of which 41,936 are Serbs.

In 1998, the Bosniak Institute published SFR Yugoslavia's last List of war victims from the Jasenovac camp from 1992. The list contained 49,602 total victims at Jasenovac with 26,170 Serbs, 8,121 Jews, 5,900 Croats, 1471 Roma, 787 Muslims, 6,792 of unidentifiable ethnicity and the rest others.

Holocaust institutions.

Memorial signs with Serbian claims of victim counts, situated on the Republika Srpska side of the Sava river.

The world's eminent authority on Holocaust victims, Yad Vashem Center estimates more than 500,000 were killed, with the majority of the victims being Serbs. According to some Croatian sources, victim counts were exaggerated. It is also not clear how the Center has reached this figure.

According to other world's eminent authority on Holocaust victims the United States Holocaust Memorial Museum, the victims figures are as follows:

Further research on the victims of the Ustaša regime in Croatia during World War II is necessary to enable historians and demographers to determine more precisely the number of those who perished under the rule of the Independent State of Croatia. Due to differing views and lack of documentation, estimates for the number of Serbian victims in Croatia range widely, from 25,000 to more than one million. The estimated number of Serbs killed in Jasenovac ranges from 25,000 to more than a million. The most reliable figures place the number of Serbs killed by the Ustaša between 330,000 and 390,000, with 45,000 to 52,000 Serbs murdered in Jasenovac. Germans and Ustaša killed approximately 32,000 Jews from Croatia between 1941 and 1945. The precise number of Jews murdered in the Jasenovac complex is not known, but estimates

306. range from 8,000 to 20,000 victims.

These numbers do not include Jews whom the Ustaša authorities turned over to the Germans for deportation to Auschwitz and other camps. Statistics for Romani people victims are difficult to assess, as there are no firm estimates of their number in pre-war Croatia and Bosnia-Herzegovina. The best estimates calculate the number of Romani victims at about 26,000, of whom between 8,000 and 15,000 perished in Jasenovac.

There are only loose estimates for the number of Croats murdered by the Ustaša. This group included political and religious opponents of the regime, both Catholic and Muslim. Between 5,000 and 12,000 Croats are believed to have died in Jasenovac.

BOOLE: Because to albinism's effect on one's outward appearance, cultures around the world have developed many myths and superstitions regarding people with albinism.

A common misconception is that albino individuals of a species are sterile, but albinos are fully capable of reproducing.

In Jamaica, West Indies, people with albinism have been degraded and regarded as cursed. In recent times, the albino dancehall singer Yellowman has helped to end this stereotype.

And in some cultures, people with albinism are thought to have magical powers or to be able to tell the future.

HE: See Hollywood.

BOOLE: A myth has developed in Mugabe’s Zimbabwe that having sex with a woman with albinism will cure a man of HIV. This has led to many women with albinism in the area being raped (and thus infected) by HIV-positive men. A first nation under Ian Smith became a third-world HIV-infected chaos under Nixon-Stein.

HE: I am sure giving the despot $71,000,000 will bring great change and move them forward.

307.

BOOLE: It is also thought by many that people with albinism live short life spans. This is not true, but may be a distorted view of a more reasonable fact that people with albinism have a higher risk of skin cancer if they do not use proper skin protection when in the sun.

NARRATOR: He would read and re-read the manuals on the weapon and shooting, so he knew it was probably going to be a stationary target, but contingencies must be made if it moved. Knowing such, he flipped through the data books Boole provided in order to find the needed statistics to properly engage the singular target, or rich target environment.

BOOLE: The first shot, the only shot, must impact the singular target. The statistics here help reduce the "guess work" in his shot. So, first, chose your range to the target.

NARRATOR: He had mapped out different ranges on separate pages. He had to park and approach the one that was unguarded and offered the proper sight picture.

BOOLE: Second, make sure you have the same ammo, with the same Lot Number for both practice and engagement. By doing this the trajectories wouldn't vary greatly.

As it was one shot you have to be sure.

Third, know every possible lighting condition, the time, the current temperature, and have already drawn a mirage for quick reference on wind call.

Fourth, because of your proficiency training, you will have the differences in small and large targets drawn out:

1) On the small target draw an example of where the crosshairs of the objective lens would be; draw the light direction with an arrow; draw the wind direction with a double-headed arrow, and for each practice shot, he should record the elevation and windage before each shot at that distance. After the shot, draw a small

308. point to show where you last saw the cross hairs as he squeezed the trigger. 2) On the large target make a point of the actual location of the bullet impact after each shot for comparison to the shot number on the small target. On the top right note the correct shot per each 10 shot group for quick reference at the sniper nest.

NARRATOR: But he began to think that, if the target was not stationary, that it had begun to move and not brag, then the differences in the amount of lead used in the projectile would differ so he needed two bullets, one for stationary, one for moving. And contingencies had to be made for targets moving both right and left.

BOOLE: In that case, the amount of lead will change with the direction the target is moving and whether the sniper is left or right handed. Right handed shooter need less lead on a target moving left to right because of slight variations in trigger control.

NARRATOR: He knew his preparation was nearly complete. He had cleaned the barrel, torqued everything, confirmed zero, got the foam, rod, and near-empty plastic Live Wire bottle, then checked ammo of two bullets. And in an instant he had hidden it all: the barrel, receiver, scope, ammo, rod, tape in the arm pads of the two over-sized crutches; all of which he owed that to The Day of The Jackal movie Boole made him watch.

BOOLE: Lastly, and most important, are the basic rules and fundamentals.

The most important rule of sniping, or shooting in general, is to be sure of your target and beyond. No second chances and no none- combatants must be hurt. But, as it was one shot this rule did not necessarily apply.

For fundamentals, a steady position was paramount. Once in place he would remove non-firing hand, weld the butt of the stock in the pocket of the shoulder and cheek, bring rearward pressure with his firing hand, get his elbows in a comfortable position, make sure his welds consistent, get good bone support, relax, and practice his natural point of aim.

309.

NARRATOR: He also, finally, knew the acronym B.R.A.S.S. by heart:

B - breath control, take a deep breath, exhale, take another deep breath and exhale half way:

R - mental and physical relaxation, as you quickly set your natural point of aim.

A - aim; stock weld to cheek and shoulder cushion; eye relief; hand positioning.

S - sight alignment and sight picture. Get exact eye relief (id est, the distance between the eye and the scope), find the center of mass of the target, focus on front sight -- in this case the cross hairs -- then see the target's mass blur; and, lastly and most importantly;

S - slack and squeeze, or the slow, steady, even movement of the trigger completely to the rear using only the front pad of the shooter's right index finger until the hammer falls.

As for post-shot, he calculated that was there would be zero time for analysis but he had to at least keep his stock weld, keep the proper squeeze to the read, continue to look through the scope, relax, let the barrel reset on the target and release the trigger only after the recoil stops and the barrel resets on the target.

This should only take about two seconds for the shot.

THE ORB: Why are you doing this ? You promised.

HE: To prove a point.

THE ORB: Something other than your nuts, let’s hope.

HE: There's just no way Oswald could have shot JFK. No fucking way.

310.

THE ORB: Oh God, not you too.

BOOLE: Gerald Posner’s ‘Case Closed’ would interest you.

THE ORB: No, of course not. Use Boole to feed you pet peeve.

BOOLE: The 21st SS Division Skanderbeg was a Waffen SS Mountain division set up by Heinrich Himmler in March 1944, officially under the title of the 21st Waffen-Gebirgs Division der SS Skanderbeg (Albanische Nr. 1). It was named after George Kastrioti Skanderbeg, the national hero of Albanians who resisted Ottoman invasion for 25 years, and united Albanian princes under one national banner. The division was set up mostly from 4,000 prisoners of Albanian nationality. After the wars end, the division was accused of having committed thousands of war crimes, mostly against Serbs in Montenegro and Kosovo.

The names of 11,398 recruits were submitted to Berlin. Of these, 9,275 were deemed suitable for drafting, and 6,491 were actually drafted into the Waffen SS. The final division was formed up by the aforementioned recruits, another three hundred ethnic Albanians transferred from the 13th Waffen Mountain Division of the SS Handschar and German and Austrian officers, NCOs and enlisted men. The final total strength of the division was 8,500 to 9,000 men, consisting of two infantry regiments, an artillery regiment, a reconnaissance battalion, a mountain combat engineer battalion, a signals battalion and an anti-tank battalion.

Albanians in Kosovo saw the invasion of the Kingdom of Yugoslavia by Axis Powers as an opportunity to secede from the kingdom, and eventually merge with Albania. In 1941 Albania, Western Macedonia, and a majority of Kosovo were under Italian control. Following the surrender of Fascist Italy in 1943, the territories under discussion, inhabited largely by Albanians were handed over to Nazi Germany.

The 21st Waffen SS Mountain Division was the only fully ethnic Albanian division to be recruited during the Second World War. It was established originally to combat partisans with the promise that the territories with a majority Albanian population were to

311. become an independent and unified state to include Albania, Kosovo, and Western Macedonia or what Albanian nationalists called “Natural Albania” or "Ethnic Albania".

The division was placed under the command of SS-Standartenführer August Schmidhuber, later promoted to SS-Oberführer. It fought against communists who were on the increase and consolidating their actions, both in Albania and Yugoslavia as the Second World War was drawing to an end. In Kosovo, the division embarked on ethnic cleansing of the Serbs and other non-Albanians.

The division was operational for a full year (March 1944 – March 1945) losing pace with the German withdrawal from the area during the last months of WWII, and reorganizing into the 21st SS Mountain Skanderbeg Division, concentrated at Skopje, leading to its defense, alongside the Prinz Eugen Division, of the Vardar River valley in Macedonia, allowing German General Alexander Lohr's Army Group E to retreat from Greece. By January 1945, a group of the Skanderbeg Division retreated to Kosovska Mitrovica in Kosovo and then to Brcko in Bosnia-Herzegovina. They reached Austria in May 1945, and fought until Germany's surrender. The division surrendered to Western Allied personnel.

SS-Brigadefuhrer August Schmidthuber, one of the commanders of the 21st SS Mountain Division "Skanderbeg”, was captured in 1945 and turned over to Yugoslav authorities. He was put on trial in February 1947 by a Yugoslav military tribunal at Belgrade, on charges of participating in massacres, deportations, and atrocities against civilians. The tribunal sentenced him to death by hanging. He was executed on February 27, 1947.

The division arm patch consisted of a white double-headed eagle on a black background. The recruits wore the white traditional Albanian highlander cap (plis), and later the SS issued gray headgear in the same style, with the Totenkopf sewn on the front.

Many of the allegations against the division must be looked upon with some measure of uncertainty, due to the ongoing ethnic hatred in the former Yugoslavian Balkan nations. However, there is evidence that many war crimes did, in fact, take place, and that those were committed by this division.

BOOLE: Our second archetype concerning self-similarity is an intriguing self-similar pattern that was published in 1907 by the natural philosopher E. E. Fournier d’Albe. Think of a pair of dice and focus on a side representing the number 5. The unit pattern involves five dots, four of which are located at the corners of a square and the fifth is located at the center.

For simplicity, we will call this unit pattern a quintet. Imagine that each dot is a miniature quintet, and further, that each dot of the miniature quintet is a microscopic quintet. This constitutes three scales of the self-similar structure, but Fournier d’Albe went much further and imagined the pattern repeating without limits. In this case, the structure we started with would be just one of five quintets of a larger scale “whole”, which would be one of five quintets of an even larger scale quintet, and so on forever. Likewise, the quintets-within- quintets hierarchy extends endlessly to ever-smaller scales. If this is hard to visualize, try drawing three scales of this amazing design.

The two examples given both involve spatial structures, but self- similarity can also occur in temporal processes.

For example, imagine the opening theme of Beethoven’s 5th symphony (da da da, DAA) being created on a synthesizer. One could replace the “das” of the first three notes with brief versions of the whole 4-note pattern. One could arrange it so that these compressed 4-note patterns happened fast enough that they could be mistaken for single notes. The individual notes of the compressed 4-note patterns could, in turn, be composed of even faster (instead of smaller) 4-note patterns, and so on. We end up with a sequence of sounds that is self-similar in time, and this could be revealed by playing the sequence at different speeds. With just a couple more concepts to aid us, we will be able to begin exploring Nature’s treasure trove of self-similarity.

The curious term self-similarity, which might be improved upon one day (scale-similarity ?), was coined in the 1920s by the physicist Lewis Fry Richardson who specialized in fluid turbulence, wherein big eddies have smaller eddies and so on.

313.

One way of distinguishing among various types of self-similarity is whether they are based on exact, approximate or merely statistical copies of unit patterns.

In Fournier d’Albe’s unbounded quintet creation, for example, exact copies of the unit pattern are repeated on each scale.

It is somewhat boggling to realize that, aside from size, all quintets in this design are identical, even in the number of their internal scales, no matter where they occur in the hierarchy of scales. This counter-intuitive property is made possible by the fact that the number of scales in the design is infinite. Tree morphologies, on the other hand, have similar branching patterns on different scales, not identical copies.

Other natural examples, such as coastlines, have only vaguely similar patterns, e.g., bays and promontories, on many scales, and this is often referred to as statistical self-similarity.

Another distinction among self-similar phenomena is whether they involve discrete, multiple or continuous scaling.

Fournier d’Albe’s original quintet structure was rigidly discrete: quintets of neighboring scales always differed in size by a scale factor of 7. In the case of tree branching, on the other hand, there is a multiple, and more random, distribution of unit pattern sizes. There are also cases such as fluid turbulence in boiling water where self-similar motions occur on virtually all size scales -- i.e., with a nearly continuous distribution of scale factors.

A further way in which self-similar designs can be distinguished is whether or not there are cutoffs to the hierarchical structure. Fournier d’Albe’s fully infinite design goes on forever; there are no largest or smallest quintets. Tree branching, on the other hand, has upper and lower cutoff limits, so only a finite number of size scales are involved.

Lastly, we can classify most self-similar phenomena into a few broad categories: branching, e.g., trees and arteries; surfaces, e.g., coastlines and geographic topography; clustering/nesting, e.g., the quintet design and Russian dolls; and temporal, e.g.,

314. music and stock market fluctuations.

One can understand why two individuals grow up the same and yet are so very different.

HE: Yes, I see. One becomes a Mass Hypnotist , one its adjudicator.

BOOLE: An understanding of how the fourth dimension includes the infinity of intervals between the other dimensions can be gained by visualizing a few of the better known fractal dimensions (sometimes called Hausdorff dimensions by mathematicians).

NARRATOR: The Albino Amish falls asleep soon after giving him directions to the nearest Amish stable in Sarasota County.

THE ORB: It hasn’t been a barrel of laughs in Amish history, nor fodder for liberal judgment, scorn or sarcastic stereotyping.

HE: Tell that to the bean-counting, Mass Hypnotists .

BOOLE: Like some Mennonites, the Amish are descendants of Swiss Anabaptist groups formed in the early 16th century during the radical reformation. The Swiss Anabaptists or "Swiss Brethren" had their origins with Felix Manz (ca. 1498–1527) and Conrad Grebel (ca.1498-1526).

The name "Mennonite" was applied later and came from Menno Simons (1496–1561). Simons was a Dutch Roman Catholic priest who converted to Anabaptism in 1536 and was baptized by Obbe Philips after renouncing his Catholic faith and office. He was a leader in the Lowland Anabaptist communities, but his influence reached Switzerland.

The Amish movement takes its name from that of Jacob Amman (c. 1656 – c. 1730), a Swiss-German Mennonite leader. Amman believed the Mennonites were drifting away from the teachings of Simons and the 1632 Mennonite Dordrecht Confession of Faith, particularly the practice of shunning excluded members (known as the ban or Meidung).

315.

However, the Swiss Mennonites (who, because of unwelcoming conditions in Switzerland, were by then scattered throughout Alsace and the Palatinate) never practiced strict shunning as the Lowland Anabaptists did.

Amman insisted upon this practice, even to the point of expecting a spouse to refuse to sleep or eat with the banned member until he/she repented of his/her behavior. This strict literalism brought about a division in the Swiss Mennonite movement in 1693 and led to the establishment of the Amish.

Because the Amish are the result of a division with the Mennonites, some consider the Amish a conservative Mennonite group.

The first Amish began migrating to the colony of Pennsylvania in the 18th century and were part of a larger migration from the Palatinate and neighboring areas. They came, along with their non- Anabaptist neighbors, largely to avoid religious wars and poverty, but also to avoid religious persecution.

The first immigrants went to Berks County, Pennsylvania, but later moved, motivated both by land issues and by security concerns tied to the French and Indian War. Many eventually settled in Lancaster County, Pennsylvania. Other groups later settled in or spread to Alabama, Delaware, Illinois, Indiana, Iowa, Kansas, Kentucky, Michigan, Minnesota, Mississippi, Missouri, Nebraska, New York, Ohio, Maryland, Tennessee, Wisconsin, Maine, and Canada.

The Amish congregations left in Europe slowly merged with the Mennonites. The last Amish congregation to merge with the Mennonites was Ixheim Amish congregation which merged with the neighboring Mennonite Church in 1937. Some Mennonite congregations, including most in Alsace, are descended directly from former Amish congregations. No Old Order movement ever developed in Europe and all Old Order communities are in the Americas.

Most Amish communities that were established in North America did not ultimately retain their Amish identity. Thus, the more progressive Amish within several decades became Amish Mennonite and were then later absorbed into the Old Mennonites (not to be confused with Old Order Mennonites). The much smaller faction

316. became the Amish of today. As the non-Amish world's usage of electricity and automobiles increased, a tourist industry sprang up around the Amish in places such as the Pennsylvania Dutch Country and Wayne County, Ohio.

HE: Who knew ? Not Hollywood. What are some of the major landmarks of Amish history in America ?

BOOLE: In 1681, William Penn, an English Quaker, received ownership of the land that would eventually become the state of Pennsylvania. He decided to try a "holy experiment:" to establish a colony that would allow religious toleration. This was a relatively novel concept at the time. Amish, Quakers, Mennonites, Moravians, Schwenkfelders and others in Europe responded to the opportunity by moving to the area.

The Amish initially settled in three areas of Pennsylvania:

Eight settlements in what are now Berks, Chester, Lancaster and Lebanon counties, to the west of Philadelphia.

One settlement in Mifflin county in the center of Pennsylvania.

Three settlements in Somerset county in southwest Pennsylvania.

During the first century of Amish settlement in the American colonies, believers survived a number of external conflicts:

Settlements in Pennsylvania were attacked during the French and Indian Wars during the mid 18th century.

Starting in the mid 18th century, a religious revival spread across the American colonies. The Amish were targeted by Baptist, Methodist, United Brethren, and German Baptist Brethren itinerant pastors and evangelists. The "revivalists" took a heavy toll on the Amish membership.

The War of Independence put a heavy strain on the Amish principle of pacifism and neutrality. The colonies were divided into Patriots and "Tories" -- those loyal to Britain. The Amish attempted to remain non-violent and neutral but were attacked by both sides. For some of them, their situation was complicated by oaths of loyalty to Britain that they had taken when they were

317. admitted to the colonies.

Author Steven Nolt estimates that about 500 Amish had migrated to Pennsylvania during the 18th century. Most had large families. However, the attrition rate was so high that by the year 1800, there were fewer than 1,000 Amish in America.

The second wave of immigration from Europe lasted from 1817 to 1860. About 3,000 Amish relocated to the U.S. They were motivated to leave by religious oppression in Europe, financial problems, crop failures, continuing wars, the military draft, and high taxes. Most settled in Illinois, Indiana, Iowa, Missouri, New York, Ohio, and Ontario in Canada. A few went to Pennsylvania. 2

Immigrants from Europe during the 19th century tended to be more progressive than those who were already established in the U.S. Some newcomers had partly abandoned traditions of Amish life. Deviations included wearing buttons on their coats; owning a piano, dishes with decorations, decorated carriages, and fancy furniture; dressing their children in fancy clothes. Perhaps even more serious, many were more flexible on matters of doctrine and belief.

The church remained united for the first half of the 19th century, in spite of growing friction between liberals and conservatives. In 1849, a conservative congregation in Mifflin County, PA, broke with most of the rest of the Amish church for reasons which are not clear.

A series of Diener-Versammlungens -- i.e., national meetings -- for Amish leaders were held in various settlements in Illinois, Indiana, Iowa, Ohio, and Pennsylvania between 1862 and 1878. The intent was to strengthen church life and commitment. They were attended by a few dozen leaders and up to 1,500 lay persons. These meetings settled some important doctrines:

Mennonites who wanted to join the Amish church would have to undergo a second baptism.

Amish who joined another religion or Christian denomination were to be excommunicated and shunned.

Photography, joining a state militia, and belonging to secret

318. societies were banned.

Unfortunately, in spite of initial optimism that the meetings would bring harmony, the end result was to emphasize the differences between the liberal and conservative factions within the Amish church.

Thus, the meetings actually increased internal tensions. When separation came, it was not a single dramatic event. Rather, it was spread over decades as individual families and congregations gradually sorted themselves out into the traditionalist and change- minded camps. The latter wanted to change but could not reach a consensus on the details.

By 1880, there were four Amish groups: one conservative, but three liberal:

The conservative wing called themselves the Old Order Amish. They opted out of attending the later Diener-Versammlungens, and continued to follow the historical Amish beliefs and practices. They constituted only about one-third of the Amish membership and numbered only about 5,000 by the end of the 19th century.

The liberals became the Amish Mennonites. Most congregations merged with the "Old Mennonites" by 1930, although some formed the Conservative Amish Mennonite Conference in 1910.

1917: The U.S. entered the war in the spring of 1917, and also started drafting men. The legislation provided for religious conscientious objectors, but there was no formal system for recognizing their status. Amish youth were required to report for duty. Some cooperated by undergoing training; most refused; some were physically and mentally abused in an effort to get them to join the military.

1921: Many Old Order Amish felt that high school and post- secondary education were a waste of their children's time. “Worldly wisdom” which went beyond the practical knowledge of reading, writing and mathematics posed a real threat to the Amish way of life and to church teaching on humility, simplicity, and mutual aid. Spending time in school for nine months a year with teachers who were hostile to Amish beliefs and traditions was not something that Amish parents wanted for their young people.

319.

The state of Ohio passed the Bing Act in 1921 which required all children to attend school until they reached the age of 18.

HE: Mass Hypnotists have been against home-schooling even before Hitler made it against the law.

BOOLE: Right. This conflicted with the Amish tradition of terminating their children's education after graduation from grade 8. The Amish compromised by applying for work release permits for their children at age 16.

1938: In late 1938, Lancaster County Amish opened the first of two parochial schools.

1941: World War II: U.S. entered the war. This time, Brethren Mennonite, Quaker and other religious leaders had negotiated a better deal with the government for conscientious objectors. American Civil Public Service (CPS) programs allowed COs to be assigned to non-military work assignments. Of the 772 Old Order Amish who were drafted, 23 entered the army, 27 chose non- combatant military tasks, and 722 declared themselves COs.

Many Amish refused to use the wartime ration stamps that the government distributed to regulate the purchase of food and other necessities. Their main objection was that the stamps contained images of tanks, planes and other military equipment. They found ways of doing without food and other materials.

The U.S. draft returned in 1948. In 1952, Amish conscientious objectors were required to work for two years in an alternative program, called 1-W. Amish youth were typically employed in cities, where they had almost complete freedom of action outside of work hours. Some became integrated into "The English" (non- Amish) culture and never returned to their families. Others became emotionally troubled by the culture shock of being exposed to non- Amish society.

In 1955, Congress expanded the Social Security program to include all self-employed farmers. Most Amish felt that government social programs of this type violated their traditions. The Amish had always cared for their own people. Many refused to pay into the system.

320.

The federal government placed liens on Amish property and sometimes foreclosed and sold several farms in order to collect premiums.

In one memorable incident, government agents stopped Valentine Byler in New Wilmington, PA while he was plowing in his fields and took possession of three of his horses for sale. Anger from "The English" forced the government to back down. Later in the year, Congress exempted the Amish from both Medicare and Social Security.

1966, the Amish conscientious objectors return. Some Amish leaders found that about half of their drafted young men never returned home.

The Beachy Amish tackled this attrition by creating retirement homes in five states and arranging Amish COs to work there without experiencing culture shock. They also founded mission programs in Europe, Canada, and Latin America. Their COs partly staffed their North American offices and warehouses. The Old Order Amish tried a different approach. They organized a National Amish Steering Committee to negotiate alternative arrangements with the government. This was a major departure for the Old Order; their basic organizational unit had always been the individual congregation; never before did they have a national group speaking for them. In 1969, the committee was able to arrange a system of farm deferments for its COs.

In 1966 came The New Order Amish: Doctrinal disputes plagued the Old Order throughout the 1950s and 1960s. Most dealt with the policy of shunning Amish who left to join other Amish groups.

Some Amish were experiencing what were called spiritual awakenings and personal encounters with God.

Some believers rejected their historical belief that one can only hope for salvation in this life, by continuing Amish traditions as long as they lived. A minority suggested that a person can be totally assured of their salvation through a conversion experience. Many of the latter group also advocated the use of mechanized farming equipment and the installation of telephones in homes.

321.

So, in 1966, about one hundred families withdrew from the Old Order in Lancaster County, PA, and formed two new church congregations which they called "New Order Amish." The schism spread to other states. Some chose the name "Amish Brotherhood." They are generally regarded as a sub-group within the Old Order Amish.

1967, Amish school problems continue. Motivated by a series of conflicts over Amish schooling in many states, Reverend William C. Lindholm, pastor of Grace Lutheran Church in East Tawas, MI, helped organize, and became the first chairperson of, the National Committee for Amish Religious Freedom (NCARF). They launched a lawsuit, Wisconsin v. Yoder, asking that the Amish be exempted from the state's school codes.

In 1971, the U.S. Supreme Court ruled in NCARF's favor, thus strengthening religious freedom and parental rights for all Americans. The court noted that the lack of high school education among the Amish had not made them an economic burden on the rest of society. The decision allowed the Amish and Old Order Mennonites to either establish their own schools or withdraw their children from public schools after they graduate from grade 8. This granting of additional religious freedom is not without cost. It generates hardship to those Amish youth and adults who might want to leave their religion behind and join the larger American culture. With no high school or post-secondary education, their economic options are severely limited.

Back to 1967. Migration to Latin America. Some Amish considered moving away from North America to avoid problems with the military draft, schooling, the gradual secularization of the dominant culture, etc.

Also in 1967, seven Old Order Amish families from Indiana moved to the Chaco region of Paraguay. A group of conservative Mennonites had previously settled there. The group almost doubled in size over the next two years. Again, they were an agricultural success. However, they were unable to form a "spiritually stable congregation."

1967: Canada Pension Plan: This is a program similar to Social Security in the U.S. Revenue Canada officials started raiding

322.

Amish bank accounts in Ontario, attempting to collect unpaid premiums.

In 1974, the federal government exempted self-employed Amish from the system. Canadian Amish now have Social Insurance Numbers (ironically referred to as S.I.N. numbers), which the government uses to identify its citizens and residents. However, they are in a numerical series that prevents them from receiving any benefits.

By 1978, most expatriate Amish returned to North America; some joined with the local Mennonites; a few formed an independent Amish group.

Recent developments: There have been a number of changes over the last few decades that have significantly impacted Amish culture: The rising cost of farmland has forced some Amish to take outside jobs while remaining in their community. Some developed home businesses, creating traditional Amish crafts for sale. Others founded commercial enterprises.

Tourism has been a mixed blessing. The Amish have lost some of their privacy to the hordes of visiting tourists who are curious about their culture. However, it does bring a lot of revenue to the community.

BOOLE: Russia had suffered six and a half years of the First World War and the Civil Wars of 1918-20 before the famine began; much of them fought inside Russia.

Before the famine, all sides in the Russian Civil Wars of 1918-20 - the Bolsheviks, the Whites, the Anarchists, the seceding nationalities —- had provisioned themselves by the ancient method of "living off the land": they seized food from those who grew it, gave it to their armies and supporters, and denied it to their enemies.

The Bolshevik government had requisitioned supplies from the peasantry for little or nothing in exchange. This led peasants to drastically reduce their crop production.

323.

According to the official Bolshevik position, which is still maintained by some modern Marxists, the rich peasants (kulaks) withheld their surplus grain in order to preserve their profits -- statistics indicate that most of the grain and the other food supplies passed through the black market.

The Bolsheviks believed that peasants were actively trying to undermine the war effort. The Black Book of Communism states that Lenin ordered the seizure of the food peasants had grown for their own subsistence and their seed grain in retaliation for this "sabotage", leading to widespread peasant revolts. In 1920, Lenin had ordered increased emphasis on the food requisitioning from the peasantry.

The American Relief Administration, which Herbert Hoover had formed to help the starvation of World War I, had offered assistance to Lenin in 1919, on condition that they have full say over the Russian railway network and hand out food impartially to all; Lenin refused this as interference in Russian internal affairs.

This famine, the Kronstadt rebellion, large-scale peasant uprisings such as the Tambov rebellion, and the failure of a German general strike convinced Lenin to reverse his policy at home and abroad.

He decreed the New Economic Policy on March 15, 1921. The famine also helped produce an opening to the West: Lenin allowed relief organizations to bring aid, this time; fortunately, war relief was no longer required in Western Europe, and the A.R.A. had an organization set up in Poland, relieving the Polish famine which had begun in the winter of 1919-20.

BOOLE: The second dimension is the PLANE, such as a square. It contains an infinite number of straight lines. In Time, the second dimension represents the Present. The trajectory of moments in the first dimension (Future) appears like a disk or revolution. In the second dimension, we have the Rational numbers, based on three points, visualized on the plane with a vertical and horizontal axis. The number plane was known to the Pythagoreans and called

324. the Chi:

Rational numbers are produced by division in the positive field and multiplication in the negative field. Zero is the center of the CHI, which for Pythagoras and Plato was the tool of the Demiurge, the Creator. The fields contain only the fractions and products inside the ten numbers. Division is the basis of thinking, multiplication the synergy of the soul.

BOOLE: SU= (moyers) KW= (conspiracy):

Mister Moyers goes to Washington.

* Moyers receives and supports the infamous memo from AG Nicholas Katzenbach on November 25th, 1963, three days after JFK was murdered.

(1) Nicholas Katzenbach, memorandum for Bill Moyers (25th of November 1963. Three days after Moyers ordered the protective top taken off the limousine at Love Field.)

It is important that all of the facts surrounding President Kennedy's Assassination be made public in a way which will satisfy people in the United States and abroad that all the facts have been told and that a statement to this effect be made now.

1. The public must be satisfied that Oswald was the assassin; that he did not have confederates who are still at large; and that the evidence was such that he would have been convicted at trial. 2. Speculation about Oswald's motivation ought to be cut off, and we should have some basis for rebutting thought that this was a Communist conspiracy or (as the Iron Curtain press is saying) a right-wing conspiracy to blame it on the Communists. Unfortunately the facts on Oswald seem about too pat - too obvious (Marxist, Cuba, Russian wife, etc.). The Dallas police have put out statements on the Communist conspiracy theory, and it was they who were in charge when he was shot and thus silenced. 3. The matter has been handled thus far with neither dignity nor conviction. Facts have been mixed with rumor and speculation. We

325. can scarcely let the world see us totally in the image of the Dallas police when our President is murdered.

I think this objective may be satisfied by making public as soon as possible a complete and thorough FBI report on Oswald and the assassination. This may run into the difficulty of pointing to in- consistencies between this report and statements by Dallas police officials. But the reputation of the Bureau is such that it may due to the whole job. The only other step would be the appointment of a Presidential Commission of unimpeachable personnel to review and examine the evidence and announce its conclusions. This has both advantages and disadvantages.

I think it can await publication of the FBI report and public reaction to it here and abroad.

I think, however, that a statement that all the facts will be made public property in an orderly and responsible way should be made now. We need something to head off public speculation or Congressional hearings of the wrong sort.

HE (screaming): Jesus, three days later ! And just one day after he is was fucking rewarded for treachery with promotion, he institutes the cover-up.

BOOLE: In 1993, the great statesmen, Senator Daniel P. Moynihan (D- N.Y.), published one of the most important pieces of social theory titled "Defining Deviancy Down."

Moynihan started from Emile Durkheim's proposition that there is a limit to the amount of deviant behavior any community can "afford to recognize" (called the "Durkheim Constant").

As the amount of deviancy increases, the community has to adjust its standards so that conduct once thought deviant is no longer

326. deemed so. Consequently, if we are not vigilant about enforcing them, our standards would be constantly devolving in order to normalize rampant deviancy.

Shortly after Moynihan's article, neoconservative Charles Krauthammer offered his now-famous response to Moynihan's article in which he argued that the corollary is that society can also "define deviancy up."

HE: Tell that to the resident tranny and NAMBLA-loving Mass Hypnotist .

BOOLE: True, remember also that a form of institutionalized pederasty was practiced in Sparta even before the Mass Hypnotists forced it upon us.

In the time of the so-called 300, older warriors would be paired with a teenage student. This bond was considered important in passing on knowledge and in maintaining loyalty on the battlefield. The Agoge focused exclusively on producing new generations of soldiers.

HE: Oh, that great mentoring program. Wouldn’t California and the Mass Hypnotists be proud ?

BOOLE: Girls also apparently had a form of state education involving dance and sport amongst other subjects.

HE: Title IX raises its ugly head.

BOOLE: Spartan nurses were prized in Greece. From that age, their training was undertaken by the state in the Agoge system and supervised by the paidonomos, an official appointed for that purpose. This training consisted for the most part in physical exercises, such as nude dancing, nude gymnastics, nude ball-games, etc., with music and literature occupying a subordinate position.

HE: Today they have sexting.

NARRATOR: Bonefish also tail and fight, but unless you are black, Creole, live in the Caribbean and know how to cook and eat them, try to eat one of them without choking on a bone.

However, with the Red Drum, you get the fight and the feast.

Most of PI's redfish spawn in the mangrove islands that dot the southwestern Intracoastal of Florida.

Redfish stay inshore in the estuaries about their first four years until they reach 30 inches in length; then migrate offshore where they spawn annually from August to November in near-shore water for the rest of their lives.

Queeg measured his redfish with his handy mom-and-pop bought hardware fish ruler/tape measure. No cheap Walmart, store-bought fish rulers -- made by slaves in China -- were allowed on Cap'n Queeg's boat.

Smart man was Queeg. It's so difficult to find people alive with more faults than Mass Hypnotists , so why judge ?.

The Cap'n began iterating that redfish can only be kept between 18- 27 inches.

That was, until today.

BOOLE: Spartans had a reputation of being "laconic," or short in words. Dumbed them down, like America's defined deviancy. Yet, as stated, education was also extended to girls and both sexes exercised naked. Women, however, could not compete by the Olympic rules, while Spartan men were very successful. There were also contests to see who could take the most severe beating.

HE: Hmmmm, MMA.

BOOLE: From the twentieth year began the Spartan's liability to

328. military service and his membership of one of the dining messes or clubs, composed of about fifteen members each, to one of which every citizen must belong and contribute, and where all meals must be taken.

At thirty began the full citizen rights and duties. For the exercise of these three conditions were requisite: Spartiate birth, the training prescribed by law, and participation in and contribution to one of the dining clubs. Those who fulfilled these conditions were the peers, citizens in the fullest sense of the word, while those who failed were called routtoves (lesser men), and retained only the civil rights of citizenship.

NARRATOR: Inside the box, he finds his customized, fully disassembled Excalibur .

He studied the directions on the assembly of the weapon and putting the soda-bottle silencer on it.

After he unloads the parts he takes out the one stripper clips of ten rounds and removes one of the rounds, then rebuilds the Excalibur with his eyes closed.

He takes the Excalibur and attaches the 20 ounce soda bottle with (what else ?) duct tape, pokes a hole in the bottom of the bottle, plugs the barrel through the hole with a cleaning rod, fills the bottle with foam from a can, then removes the nozzle and rod after the foam dries to form a silencer.

He then pre-sets the marks on the snap-on scope, cocks open the barrel and loads the single round into the breech.

Finally, he then removes the pivot pin and he breaks it down into its two components: the receiver and the barrel with the soda- bottle silencer attached.

BOOLE: Spartiates, also known as homoioi (the "Similars"), were absolutely debarred by law from trade or manufacture, which consequently rested in the hands of the perioeci (former slaves), and were forbidden (in theory) to possess either gold or silver, the currency consisting of bars of iron, thus making thievery and foreign commerce very difficult and discouraging the accumulation of riches.

HE: Guess they were just doing the jobs the average Spartan wouldn’t.

THE ORB: Cute.

BOOLE: Wealth was, in theory at least, derived entirely from landed property, and consisted in the annual return made by the Helots who cultivated the plot of ground allotted to the Spartiates. But this attempt to equalize property proved a failure: from early times there were marked differences of wealth within the state, and these became even more serious after the law of Epitadeus, passed at some time after the Peloponnesian War, removed the legal prohibition of the gift or bequest of land.

Later, a greater concentration of land was in the hands of large landholders and by the middle of the 3rd century B.C. nearly two- fifths of Laconia belonged to women.

Hand in hand with this process went a serious diminution in the number of full citizens, who had numbered 8,000 at the beginning of the 5th century, but had sunk by Aristotle's day to less than 1,000, and had further decreased to 700 at the accession of Agis IV in 244 BC.

The Spartans did what they could to remedy this by law: certain penalties were imposed upon those who remained unmarried or who married too late in life. The decay of a culture of death, however, was too deeply rooted to be eradicated by such means and at too late a period in Sparta's history for pronatalism to save.

NARRATOR: America is becoming more Spartan by the hour.

BOOLE: Indeed, this might be good reading.

SAM FRANCIS: “Indeed, the genius of the American and, more generally, the Atlantic ruling class is that it is able to manipulate the meaning of words, symbols, and cultural icons into almost the opposite of what they mean.

It was grimly amusing to watch multinational corporations suddenly sport American flags in the wake of the attacks. A couple of years ago, when Ralph Nader's activists asked several Fortune 500 companies to recite the Pledge of Allegiance at their public board meetings, almost all simply refused.

Patriotism and nationalism -- or, at least, manipulation of their symbols -- can sometimes be useful, and in the weeks after the September 11 attack, the ruling class lost no opportunity to massage the public mind as it pleased, mainly for the benefit of its own regime.”

The sudden sprouting of Old Glory at corporate headquarters and in glossy magazine advertisements, for example, did not really signify a return to national loyalties and patriotic sentiments, nor did the constant and cloying invocation of patriotism by political leaders.

On the contrary, the purpose of such exhibitions was to invest old and accepted symbols like the flag, patriotic songs, and patriotic images with the new universalist and globalist meanings that help legitimize the New World hegemons.

That is why we were told constantly that not only did Americans die in the World Trade Center towers, but lots of people from other countries, too; that is why President Bush and other leaders kept banging the drum about how wonderful most Muslims and Arabs are and how the terrorists did not represent real Islam, which is part of the New World Order and the New World America.

That is why there was such a studied avoidance of the immigration issue -- not just trivial visa security policies but actually reducing or halting the number of foreigners who are allowed to enter, roam around at will, and stay as long as they please.

331.

That is also why the constant sub-theme of the post-attack discourse was the danger of "hate" (especially from "white hate groups") and "hate crimes." The multinational dimension of the alliance -- with Great Britain, ostensibly with NATO, and with various Arab or Muslim states like Saudi Arabia and Pakistan -- reemphasized the globalist scope and substance of American power.

Almost every assertion of nationality, patriotism, and national security was immediately diluted or modified by counter assertions that insisted that such affirmations should not be taken as abandonments of, or distractions from, America's global mission and universal character or the transnational utopia of "modernity" that the ruling class is building.”

“What stands out in the response of the American ruling class to the September 11 attacks is not so much the skills of real leadership as an amazing capacity to turn the whole attack and its aftermath into an opportunity for cementing the ruling class's dominance in the United States and its larger, long-term agenda for the planet. Osama bin Laden and his friends could have learned something from the experience: The richest irony of the most lethal attack on the United States in its history, is that, so far from seriously wounding or destabilizing the American megastate, the attack actually helped to increase its power and promote the interests of its elites.”

BOOLE: On 1 February 1994, the Harley-Davidson company filed a trademark application for the distinctive sound -- potatoe - potatoe -- of a Harley-Davidson motorcycle engine: "The mark consists of the exhaust sound of applicant's motorcycles, produced by V-Twin, common crankpin motorcycle engines when the goods are in use". Nine of Harley-Davidson's competitors filed comments opposing the application, arguing that cruiser-style motorcycles of various brands use a single-crankpin V-Twin engine which produces a similar sound. These objections were followed by litigation. After six years, Harley-Davidson withdrew their trademark application.

However, as the 90s continued, H.O.G. spread into Asia, including new chapters in Singapore and Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia. By 1999, worldwide membership had reached half a million, and the number of local chapters totaled 1,157.

Harley-Davidson attempted to trademark "hog," but in 1999 ultimately lost the case, with the appellate panel ruling that "hog" had become a generic term for large motorcycles, and is, therefore, unprotectable as a trademark.

Today, more than one million members make H.O.G. the largest factory-sponsored motorcycle organization in the world.

H.O.G. benefits include organized group rides, exclusive products and product discounts, insurance premium discounts, and the Hog Tales newsletter.

333.

The Motor Company supplies many domestic police forces with their motorcycle fleets. Harleys are especially noted for the tradition of heavy customization that gave rise to the chopper style of motorcycle. It also licenses its logo, which is a profitable side business ($41 million of revenue in 2004, or almost 5% of net income).

On August 15, 2006, Harley Davidson Inc. had its NYSE ticker symbol changed from HDI to HOG.

BOOLE: Since arriving in North America, there have occasionally been disputes within the Amish community with respect to behavioral rules. Some members wanted to: Construct churches and hold meetings there rather than in homes; educate their children beyond the elementary grades; allow their clothes to include buttons or pockets, and vote or become involved in public life.

There have also been disagreements in beliefs and religious practices: "Stream" baptism: Baptisms had traditionally been held in individual homes. In the mid-19th century, some Amish wanted to follow the tradition of Jesus who was baptized in the Jordan river. They had candidates kneel in a river while the bishop poured water over their head. After much debate, the church decided to accept both methods as valid. Stream baptism was phased out around 1910.

Universalism: The concept that all persons would be eventually "saved." Nobody would spend eternity being tortured in Hell.

Hell: Whether it exists as a place where people are eternally punished.

Education: The Amish's insistence on terminating formal schooling after the 8th grade conflicted with many state's laws which require children to remain in school until their mid-teens. Some Amish avoided this problem by migrating from Pennsylvania to other states, like Missouri, which had more relaxed laws. A ruling by the US Supreme Court in 1972 (Wisconsin v. Yoder) recognized their right to limit the education of their children.

334.

Accidents: Highway accidents between motor vehicles and Amish black horse and buggies are a concern to many. Horse-drawn vehicles generally travel between five and eight miles an hour. Some Amish are reluctant to mount a slow-moving-vehicle sign on the back of their buggies. In some states, they line the back of their buggies with reflective tape as an alternative to a sign.

Polio: There was an outbreak of polio in 1979 among Amish in Pennsylvania, Iowa, Wisconsin Missouri and Canada. The North American population of Amish was essentially unvaccinated against polio at the time. The spread of the disease was halted by an emergency vaccination campaign. This was the last significant outbreak of the disease in the U.S.

BOOLE: Although the exact origin of the word "hurricane" is not known, there are several possibilities. The Tainos aborigines of Central America and the Carib tribe of the Caribbean islands used the word "Huracan" as the name for their God of Evil. The Mayan name for their storm god was "Hunraken;" the name of the devil or evil god of the Galibi Indians of Suriname was: "Hyroacan" and the Quiche (not kidding) people of southern Guatemala used the name "Huraken" for their god of thunder and lightning. Among the ancient peoples of Central and South America, their respective names for hurricanes have always been associated with evil and violence.

Hurricane is not a universally applied name. It is used only in the Atlantic regions, the Caribbean Sea, the Gulf of Mexico, the eastern Pacific and parts of Australia. The name "typhoon," or "typhoon" is used in the western Pacific and is assumed to have been derived either from Cantonese phrase for great wind "t'ai'fung," or from the Greek word for monster, "typhon."

335.

Aristotle referred to a cloud containing winds as a typhon.

In Florida only the word hurricane is used, although once it has made landfall, more colorful, and in some media, unprintable names are often heard.

BOOLE: Some Amish groups have a very limited gene pool. For example, the vast majority of Amish in Lancaster County, PA, are descendants of about 200 Swiss citizens who emigrated in the mid- 1700s. Because they traditionally do not marry outsiders and because few outsiders have joined the order, the "community has been essentially a closed genetic population for more than 12 generations."

Thus, intermarriage has brought to the fore certain genetic mutations that were present in the initial genetic pool (as they are in any population), making the Amish host to several inherited disorders."

These include dwarfism, mental retardation and a large group of metabolic disorders. One in 200 have glutaric aciduria type I; they are born healthy but can experience permanent neurological damage when a mild illness strikes. From 1988 to 2002, the Clinic for Special Children in Lancaster County, PA, has "encountered 39 heritable disorders among the Amish and 23 among the Mennonites. For 18 of the disorders seen regularly at the clinic, the incidences are high, approximately 1/250 to 1/500 births"

There are three obvious ways to reduce the incidence of these genetic diseases to levels experienced in the general population: 1) A massive influx of converts to the Amish faith by outsiders, 2) Artificial insemination using sperm donated by non-Amish, and 3) Testing of Amish adults for genetic diseases and persuading any that test positive to refrain from having children.

337.

Unfortunately, all of these paths are probably unacceptable -- and perhaps offensive -- to the Amish. And so, the genetic diseases will probably increase in frequency over time.

THE ORB: Not the best way to prepare for a dissertation defense, but what the heck.

NARRATOR: Standing over the glass case of pipes was like seeing lost friends who in hindsight were not that much aid and comfort. But what he wanted to see was an old Hippie, perhaps in his or her mid-50s, still shining, still golden, still upbeat.

What he got was a female teen who looked something like a cross between Marilyn Manson, the nut, and Mortisha Addams from the Addams Family.

No, it was not Abbie Hoffman or Joni Mitchell but some Goth- black, EMO, tattooed, pierced, green-haired, teenage hottie.

GOTH GIRL: Can I help you ?

THE ORB (imitating Lurch from the aforementioned Addams Family television show) Ohhhhhhhhhh.

HE: I need a pipe, a one-hitter if you have one.

NARRATOR: The Goth Girl bends over to grab a pipe. Her blouse is open, exposing her nipple rings to his ever watchful eye.

GOTH GIRL: Try this brass one.

NARRATOR: So he sucks it real hard, like a nipple.

THE ORB (laughing): Oh, the symbolism. Were her nipple rings like the ring on Dulcinea's clitoral hood ?

GOTH GIRL: It'll hold about a gram.

HE: That's great. [Not so smoothly changes the subject.] Hey,

338. what's there to do around here at night ?

GOTH GIRL: Aren't you from here ?

THE ORB (in LOL hysterics): She's going to call the police.

NARRATOR: He gets the idea, pays her and leaves.

GOTH GIRL (softly smiles as she shakes her multi-pierced head): Have a nice day.

NARRATOR: He goes outside and spies through the glass, gawking at her tight body as she walks over to talk to her teenage friends.

THE ORB: What is it, a restraining order ?

HE: Hardly.

NARRATOR: He peeps in the window and sees the chick kissing another similar, Goth-looker, who was probably named Ellen.

HE: What the blue blazes is going on in this country ?

BOOLE: In his Encyclopedia of American Religions, 6th edition (1999), J. Gordon Melton described four currently active Amish groups. In alphabetic order, they are:

The Beachy Amish Mennonite Churches split off from the Old Order Amish in Pennsylvania after Bishop Moses Beachy refused to pronounce the ban on some former Old Order members who had left to join a Conservative Mennonite congregation in Maryland. They are the most liberal Amish group: they meet in churches, use automobiles, tractors, and electricity. In 1996, they reported 8,399 adult members in 138 congregations.

The Conservative Mennonite Conference was formed in 1910 from a group of more liberal Old Order Amish congregations. They use meeting houses, Sunday schools, and English language services. They are located mainly in the Midwest. No membership data is available.

The Evangelical Mennonite Church was organized in 1866 by Bishop Henry Egly in Indiana. They were originally known as the Egly Amish, changed their name to The Defenseless Mennonite Church in 1898, and to their present name in 1948. They stress "regeneration, separation, and nonconformity to the world." In 1997, they were reported to have 4,348 adult members in 30 churches.

Old Order Amish Mennonite Church congregations are very conservative. Transportation is by horse and buggy. Men are required to grow beards; mustaches are not allowed. Marriage outside the faith is forbidden. They meet in each other's homes for worship every other Sunday. About 8% of their membership is made up of converts from outside the community and their descendents. There were about 30,000 adult members in the U.S. and 900 in Canada in 1995. Including children, the total population was about 139,000.

There are also additional Amish groups:

The Kauffman Amish Mennonites (aka Sleeping Preacher Amish) had 9 congregations, and perhaps on the order of 1,200 adult members.

A few independent congregations exist. However, they are relatively small in numbers.

340.

Probably the current total adult membership of all Amish groups would be on the order of 180,000 spread across 22 states. The largest concentration, with about 45,000 members is in Ohio. There are smaller numbers in Illinois, Indiana, Pennsylvania, New York, etc. About 1,500 live in south-eastern Ontario, Canada.

NARRATOR: He is seated slumped over his steering wheel in the parking lot, having just visited the Doctoral Committee to defend his Dissertation.

HE: All that work, and the defense of the dissertation to some group of liberal professors on the Doctoral Committee, gets pounded by the Chairman for what he sees as my conservative editorializing. Doctor Stu Levin, the doctoral advisor, sat stoically occasionally hitting me in the nuts to cool me off. All they could say was this needs work. Levin was, “Yes, sir, we can revise.” All for believing that passion yields truth. Defense of the Modern Working Poor drawing conclusions from statistics that are from the Depression Era is not reaching. We are comparing it versus the average wage of the Depression Era worker. We even made note of that in the beginning.

THE ORB: What was your thesis statement ?

HE: Succinctly, saying that the minimum wage of today is lower than the average Depression Era hourly wage because there was no minimum wage in the Depression. Even noting the comparison is with the average wage. That and Federal Institutions and federal and private unions have ruined this nation by controlling the majority of the out-of-control National Debt, STAMOCAP, nanny state politics, and overspending bailouts that offer no return.

We also note that this disparity is skewed by the salary of the average non-Union, non-Government worker in mid-level management in the technical field, especially computer manufacturing and design.

WRITTEN ON SCREEN: "We have seen a central government promote the power of labor-union

341. bosses, and in turn be supported by that power, until it has become entirely too much a government of and for one class, which is exactly what our Founding Fathers wanted most to prevent." - Robert Welch

Yet my thesis is that the minimum age cannot be indexed to anything like inflation or cost-of-living allowances or else the holy trinity of hyperinflation will be started. It must be a graduated formula that goes up or down, yet begins at a minimum, 'living wage' that is based on the present value of the 'average wage' during the Depression.

THE ORB: You mean get a second job ?

HE: No. Just lose the Mexicans and offer baby bonds.

WRITTEN ON SCREEN: "The penalty good men pay for indifference to public affairs is to be ruled by evil men.” - Plato

BOOLE: The main fear of wage indexation (or high debt load and deficits) is that the call for an automatic increase in the wage rate to an increase in inflation -- i.e., a more frequent version of a cost of living allowance (COLA).

Such indexation could set off a rapid inflationary spiral known as hyperinflation.

In this case, indexation to inflation leads to spontaneous wage increases, which sets off further price increases, which makes a nation's goods less attractive to foreign markets, in turn reducing the demand for its currency and causing a depreciation of the exchange rate, which, in turn, raises import prices and acts as a further supply shock.

This can lead to a worsening budget deficit as people are less inclined to pay their taxes until the last minute as the value of their money decreases with inflation.

In addition, the all-too-power federal and private labor unions

342. also adapt to hyperinflation by increasing the frequency of their own wage indexation. All this combined pours fuel on the inflationary fire, which leads to a minimum wage increase once called for by the old Kennedy proposal.

Any wage increase, combined with supply shock, and monetary accommodations, like stimuli and bailouts, are seen as an "Unholy Trinity" that can lead to hyperinflation.

The key ingredient to stopping the hyperinflation, once begun, is to achieve a sharp reduction in an increasing budget deficit by cutting government expenditures and subsides and by incrementally raising certain constitutionally allowed taxes.

In other words, an Incomes Policy. The very thing that Mass Hypnotists have made it impossible to achieve for the next 100 years.

The minimum wage at best should be a COLA, with a formula that has both inflation and price increases as variables. Of course, to punish the “enemies” of the dictator many groups are denied even a small COLA while the ruling nomenclature goes up 100% in two years.

But again, there is always the illegal factor.

With billions of U.S. Dollars leaving the country (and real non- Union, non-Government) on the backs to illegals to their homelands, the rise of inflation could be slowed since the dollars are not in circulation in America.

Unfortunately, this is not happening. With trillions in new deficit spending and debt growth to over 100% of GDP, we have become the multi-trillion dollar welfare state as up to 30 million illegal immigrants are mules for drugs, not paying taxes or Social Security, collecting SSI and EBT, clogging the social welfare, social services, hospitals, jails, and schools that could have been used to raise 80 million abortions since 1972, or the 140,000,000++ abortions since WWII when the Mass Hypnotists brought eugenics to America.

THE ORB: After all, who could afford a six-pack of beer when it

343. costs $100 ?

HE: Rich Mass Hypnotists ; you know, who have cocktail parties at our expense every Tuesday, that's who.

BOOLE: After several failed ventures -- theology, a law practice, bill collecting, time in the Oneida Community —- Charles Guiteau's interest turned to politics. He wrote a speech in support of Ulysses S. Grant called "Grant vs. Hancock", which he subsequently revised to "Garfield vs. Hancock" after Garfield won the Republican nomination in the 1880 presidential campaign.

Guiteau never even delivered the speech in a public setting. Instead, he printed up several hundred copies, but he believed that this speech along with his other efforts was largely responsible for Garfield's political victory in the election of 1880. Guiteau also believed he should be awarded an ambassadorship for his vital assistance, first asking for Vienna, then settling for Paris. He loitered around Republican headquarters in New York City during the 1880 campaign, expecting rewards for his effort, to no avail.

Still believing he would be rewarded, Guiteau arrived in Washington on March 5, the day after Garfield's inauguration, and actually obtained entrance to the White House and saw the President on March 8, dropping off a copy of his speech.

He proceeded to spend the next two months roaming around

345.

Washington, shuffling back and forth between the State Department and the White House, approaching various Cabinet members and other prominent Republicans and seeking support, to no avail. Guiteau was destitute and increasingly slovenly due to wearing the same clothes every day, the only clothes he owned, but he did not give up.

On May 13, 1881, he was banned from the White House waiting room.

On May 14, 1881, he was finally told personally never to return by Secretary of State James G. Blaine: "Never speak to me again of the Paris consulship as long as you live."

After this encounter, Guiteau decided that God had commanded him to kill the ungrateful President. Guiteau borrowed fifteen dollars and went out to purchase a revolver. He knew little about firearms but did know that he would need a large caliber gun. He had to choose between a .44 Webley British Bulldog revolver with a wooden handle and one with an ivory handle.

He bought the one with the ivory handle because he wanted it to look good as a museum exhibit after the assassination. (The revolver is not in the Smithsonian; it was lost after the shooting.) He spent the next few weeks in target practice -- the kick from the revolver almost knocked him over the first time -- and stalking the President. He wrote a letter to Garfield, saying that he should fire Blaine, or "you and the Republican party will come to grief." It was ignored, as was all the correspondence Guiteau sent to the White House.

Guiteau continued to prepare carefully, writing a letter in advance to General William Sherman asking for protection from the mob, and writing other letters justifying his action as necessary to heal dissension between factions of the Republican Party.

He spent the whole month of June following Garfield around Washington. On one occasion, he trailed Garfield to the railway station as the President was seeing his wife off to a beach resort in New Jersey, but he decided to shoot him later, as Mrs. Garfield was in poor health and he didn't want to upset her.

WRITTEN ON SCREEN: "The socialist movement takes great pains to circulate frequently new labels for its ideally constructed state. Each worn-out label is replaced by another which raises hopes of an ultimate solution of the insoluble basic problem of Socialism—until it becomes obvious that nothing has been changed but the name.....The most recent slogan is "State Capitalism." It is not commonly realized that this covers nothing more than what used to be called Planned Economy and State Socialism, and that State Capitalism, Planned Economy, and State Socialism diverge only in non-essentials from the "classic" ideal of egalitarian Socialism." - Ludwig Von Mises

BOOLE: The New Economic Policy (NEP) was an economic policy proposed by Vladimir Lenin to prevent the Russian economy from collapsing.

Allowing some private ventures, the NEP allowed small businesses or shops, for instance, to reopen for private profit while the state continued to control banks, foreign trade, and large industries. It was officially decided in the course of the 10th Congress of the All-Russian Communist Party.

It was promulgated by decree on March 21, 1921, "On the Replacement of Prodrazvyorstka by Prodnalog" -- i.e., on the replacement of foodstuffs requisitions by fixed foodstuffs tax. In essence, the decree required the farmers to give the government a specified amount of raw agricultural product as a tax in kind. Further decrees refined the policy and expanded it to include some industries.

The New Economic Policy (NEP) replaced the policies of War Communism which attempted to obliterate any signs of the market economy in the Soviet Union. War Communism’s policies had been particularly destructive to the Soviet economy and thus, the state was in dire need of economic reform. Political and economic grievances would boil over with the Kronstadt rebellion of 1921. With the Soviet Union in desperate need of an economic jump-start towards modernization, strides were made to mold the economy so that the Soviet Union would be able to compete with the industrial giants of Europe and the ever growing United States.

347.

The NEP was a state-oriented "mixed economy" in which the coexistence of private and state sectors was sanctioned by laws.

The first steps towards creating the New Economic Policy included ending the state’s requisition of peasant produce and the introduction of a new kind of tax. Rather than repossess all goods produced, the Soviet government took only a fixed quota of goods.

This left the peasants with a marketable surplus which could be sold privately.

Under the NEP, the state moved away from Communist ideals and embraced a more liberal approach to modernizing the economy. The Soviet state abandoned the idea of nationalizing particular industries. The Soviet government reformed the private sector under the NEP and severely cut the central government budget. The Soviet Union under the NEP welcomed foreign investment, notably from Western nations, in order to fund industrial and developmental projects.

The move towards modernization rested on one main issue, transforming the Soviet Union into a modern industrialized society, but to do so, the Soviet Union had to reshape its preexisting structures, namely its agricultural system and the class structure that surrounded it.

The NEP was primarily a new agricultural policy. The Bolsheviks’ view towards village life was dismal. The old way of village life was reminiscent of the Tsarist Russia that had been thrown out with the October Revolution.

With the NEP, which sought to repudiate the “old ways,” methods were set in placed which promoted the pursuit of peasants of their self-interests. However, the state only allowed private landholdings because the idea of collectivized farming was met with much opposition.

WRITTEN ON SCREEN: “It’s the economy, stupid !” - Redneck Squealer

BOOLE: Lenin was actually vehemently opposed to the NEP stating

348. that it was a repudiation of communist principles. However, he justified the NEP by insisting that it was a different type of capitalism. He insisted that this form of “state capitalism” was the last stage of capitalism before socialism evolved.

There were also disputes between Trotsky and Stalin as Trotsky believed in a more internationalist approach when revamping the economy. Stalin, on the other hand, believed that the NEP was a patriotic and nationalizing mission which would further Soviet grandeur in the international system.

As a result of NEP agricultural production increased greatly. Instead of the government taking all agricultural surpluses with no compensation, the farmers now had the option to sell their surplus yields and therefore had an incentive to produce more grain. This incentive coupled with the break up of the quasi- feudal landed estates not only brought agricultural production to pre-Revolution levels but surpassed them. While the agricultural sector became increasingly reliant on small family farms, the heavy industries, banks, and financial institutions remained owned and run by the state. Since the Soviet government did not yet pursue any policy of industrialization, this created an imbalance in the economy where the agricultural sector was growing much faster than the heavy industry. To keep their income high, the factories began to sell their products at higher prices. Because to the rising cost of manufactured goods, peasants had to produce much more wheat to purchase these consumer goods.

This fall in prices of agricultural goods and the sharp rise in prices of industrial products was known as the Scissor crisis (from the shape of the graph of relative prices to a reference date). Peasants began withholding their surpluses to wait for higher prices or sold them to "NEPmen" (traders and middlemen) who then sold them on at high prices, which was opposed by many members of the Communist Party who considered it an exploitation of urban consumers.

To combat the price of consumer goods the state took measures to decrease inflation and enact reforms on the internal practices of the factories. The government also fixed prices to halt the scissor effect.

Some people, mainly the 'old Bolsheviks' within the party saw the

349.

NEP as a betrayal of Communism and Marxism.

The NEP succeeded in creating an economic recovery after the devastating effects of the First World War, the Russian Revolution, and the Russian civil war. By 1925, in the wake of Lenin's NEP, a "... [M]ajor transformation was occurring politically, economically, culturally and spiritually. Small-scale and light industries were largely in the hands of private entrepreneurs or cooperatives. By 1928, agricultural and industrial production had been restored to the 1913 (pre-WWI) level. However, unemployment skyrocketed under the NEP and a wider gap was created between classes.

By 1925, the year after Lenin's death, Nikolai Bukharin had become the foremost supporter of the New Economic Policy. It was abandoned in 1928 by Joseph Stalin who had initially supported the NEP against Leon Trotsky, in favour of Collectivization; which came as a result of the Grain Procurement Crisis, and the need to rapidly accumulate capital for the vast industrialization programme introduced with Five Year Plans.

It was hoped that the USSR's industrial base would reach the level of capitalist countries' in the West, to prevent them being beaten in another possible war. (As Stalin famously proclaimed: "Either we do it, or we shall be crushed.") Stalin proposed that the grain crisis was caused by the NEP men, who sold their agricultural products to the urban populations at a high price. An alternative explanation for the grain crisis (which is more popular among western historians) revolves around the focus on heavy industry creating a significant consumer goods shortage; which meant peasants had nothing to spend their resources on, thus resulting in the hoarding of their grain.

The NEP was generally believed to be intended as an interim measure and proved highly unpopular with the Left Opposition in the Bolshevik party because of its compromise with some capitalistic elements and the relinquishment of State control.

They saw the NEP as a betrayal of communist principles, and they believed it would have a negative long-term economic effect, so they wanted a fully planned economy instead. In particular, the NEP created a class of traders ("NEP men") whom the Communists considered to be "class enemies" of the working class. On the

350. other hand, Lenin is quoted to have said "The NEP is in earnest and long-term", which has been used to surmise that if Lenin were to stay alive longer, NEP would have continued beyond 1929, and the disastrous collectivization would have never happened, or it would have been carried out differently. Lenin had also been known to say about NEP: "We are taking one step backward to later take two steps forward", suggesting that the NEP would slowly morph into something else as soon as the economy was prepared.

Lenin's successor, Stalin, eventually introduced full central planning (although a variant of public planning had been the idea of the Left Opposition, which Stalin purged from the Party), re- nationalized the whole economy, and from the late 1920s onwards introduced a policy of rapid industrialization.

Stalin's collectivization of agriculture has been his most notable, and most destructive departure from the NEP approach. It is often argued that industrialization could have been achieved without any collectivization and instead by taxing the peasants more, as similarly happened in Meiji Japan, Bismarck's Germany, and in post-World War II South Korea and Taiwan.

Redfish love blue crabs, and are equipped with crushers in their mouth. Live shrimp is also used as bait. For the Outer Bank whales blue crab about 3 inches across is used. In the Intracoastal in southwest Florida they use greenbacks; no not false, fiat-frenzy easy money, but the small fish, as bait. Whitebait such as Spanish sardines is good too, and as it is abundant, a mullet is used as a

BOOLE: As explained when asked earlier, increasingly since the 1960s characters that are explicitly said to be albino, or just have very fair skin and hair, crop up nearly yearly on-screen.

353.

Skin conditions have long been used to illustrate evil characters in movies. A scar, a bald scalp, multiple tattoos, these are visual shorthands for cinematic bad guys.

Given budget constraints, albinism is an inexpensive condition to recreate: white makeup, an alabaster wig, some red contact lenses - and voila ! Instant adversary.

It also seems to not be coincidental that albino bad guys began to appear in movies in the 1960s. This was the period that tanning was considered healthy, and the pre-leathered look thought to be glamorous. The opposite of the bronzed visage: pale skin. And fair skin taken to the extreme is albinism. What might seem more abnormal than someone for whom tanning is impossible ?

NARRATOR: Charter Captains don't fish because they can be counted towards any fish limit. They don't complain about this as they make a living on the fish they catch and don't want to see any wasted. Unlike sports fishermen, small charters and commercial fishermen respect their environment. However, this inactivity leaves them much time to be impatient and rude.

QUEEG (singing to the tune “Happy Days Are Here Again): They are at it again. Mass Hypnotists have brought evil and sin and it will never be the same again.

HE (purposefully hiding his dislike of the Mass Hypnotists ): What ?

QUEEG: Balkans come home. Higher taxes, debt, bigger government, more restrictive covenants, zoning the poor can't possibly afford, deeded and restricted communities, no used cars thanks to Cash-for- Clunkers, no jobs, illegal legals, oppressive ad hoc ordinances, AARP Nazis, draconian police, and high rents.

The end of the non-Union, private sector, American, working man. Not to mention the high insurance rates from those `can't vote right, constantly complaining, nanas and Bubbe meise playing blue hair bumper cars and spreading the actuarial table risk on all of us.

THE ORB: And that's the good part.

356.

QUEEG: Can see the day on this island when people can't park our boats in our lawn, noise ordinances will make it impossible to flush out your engines, and pollution standards will be so rigid that people can't chum the water with table scraps.

HE: Does this mean we'll have play basketball incorrectly or eat Marguerita, and foie gras California pizzas at a Starbucks ?

NARRATOR: Queeg railed with laughter.

QUEEG: Finding a real, God-fearing American will be as difficult as finding a virgin in Vietnam before Operation Deep Purple.

THE ORB: It's a bet Queequeg hates Starbucks.

NARRATOR: Cap'n serial killer was surely a vet, yet his bellicose laugh resembled a robber baron, sans the usury.

HE: So true. Pine Island is no longer the island of aquatic Chaos Theory, and the fractal geometry seen in the self-similarity of its abundant flora, it has all been taken away by the invasion of the culture snatchers.

QUEEG (with an inquisitive muse): Are you mixing medications, Mister Gore ?

THE ORB: That’s funny. The culture snatchers have Guy Harvey, and men like we have Harvey the Rabbit.

NARRATOR: Queeg couldn't hide his grin at having fucked with his head.

QUEEG: Have a beer, old soul, time to teach you to throw a cast net.

NARRATOR: He began to wince.

THE ORB: How difficult could that be ?

WRITTEN ON SCREEN: Life is all memory, except for the one present moment that goes by you so quickly you hardly catch it going. ” - Tennessee Williams

NARRATOR: Spreading rotten smelling dog food in the water then losing enamel from your teeth from errant casts is not the equivalent of Chateaubriand-for-two with chat potatoes. The Cap'n even asked him if he needed a dentist. Soon after Queeg took over the chore, they at least had secured enough greenbacks to fish the day away.

After more nausea relief, he tore into Queeg's bag of Mason-Dixon goodies with the gusto of a blue tick hound searching. He searched in vain for yet another vat of prepackaged Rice Krispy Marshmallow Treats; then he -- for some stoned reason -- coated himself with an Exxon Valdez-sized glob of bug repellant.

He finally started to fish.

THE ORB: Dullsville.

HE: Fishing sucks.

NARRATOR: After skillfully hooking a flounder in the nose, and a less-than-enthusiastic spotted sea trout he was still not satisfied and thus his fateful words.

HE: Thought you said we were going for redfish ?

QUEEG: You want a redfish ? You got it.

THE ORB: You told this to liberals ?

HE: They said the conclusion is trite, xenophobic, suffers from internal and external threats to validity and is full of informal

358. fallacies. Then came the ranting, “What sort of fallacies ?” Levin grabbed my nuts again, so I got the point. The Chairman was curt and to the point.

THE ORB: How ?

NARRATOR: The Chairman Mao Mo said, "Argumentum ad Populum and Ignoratio Elenchi to start with, and do I have any explanation of the 'rule coding' theories ? Or do I need to retake your comprehensives ?"

THE ORB: Maybe they were right.

HE: According to even Boole my statistics stood the test, as did the conclusion, against the Fourth Amendment for equal protection. So Levin elbows me in the nuts, again, as if to say, “Cool it”.

THE ORB: Levin is a wise man.

HE: So we wait outside while they render a decision.

THE ORB: What happened ?

HE: What a crock of crap those jerks are.

THE ORB: But were they wrong ?

HE: There was not a threat to validity and they knew it.

THE ORB: You are a finance major, right ?

HE: Yea, and I wanted this thing to be apolitical, dispassionate, and asocial.

THE ORB: You mean not liberal ?

HE: Was addressing the issue of the middle class, the working poor and single mothers as something other than liberal political fodder for abortion and socialism.

THE ORB: You’re a confused, dispassionate, compassionate- conservative.

359.

HE: So what ? My view is a bit more normative than theirs. Who's to say that it shouldn't be of a University of Chicago, positive economic vein anyway ?

THE ORB: No sense of humor about socialism with those red diaper liberals. What are their numbers, 200 million dead, 140 million babies slaughtered, 25% the world enslaved ? To think they don't share and espouse your pro-American, free Capitalist view. No figuring people.

HE: The said it was not forward enough for this day and age, Boole ?

BOOLE: According the Washington Times, the Obama campaign apparently didn't look backwards into history when selecting its new campaign slogan, "Forward" — a word with a long and rich association with European Marxism.

Many Communist and radical publications and entities throughout the 19th and 20th centuries had the name "Forward !" or its foreign cognates. Wikipedia has an entire section called "Forward (generic name of socialist publications)."

"The name Forward carries a special meaning in socialist political terminology. It has been frequently used as a name for socialist, communist and other left-wing newspapers and publications," the online encyclopedia explains.

The slogan "Forward !" reflected the conviction of European Marxists and radicals that their movements reflected the march of history, which would move forward past capitalism and into socialism and communism.

The Obama campaign released its new campaign slogan in a 7-minute video. The title card has simply the word "Forward" with the "O" having the familiar Obama logo from 2008. It will be played at rallies this weekend that mark the Obama re-election campaign's official beginning.

There have been at least two radical-left publications named "Vorwaerts" (the German word for "Forward"). One was the daily

360. newspaper of the Social Democratic Party of Germany whose writers included Friedrich Engels and Leon Trotsky. It still publishes as the organ of Germany's SDP, though that party has changed considerably since World War II. Another was the 1844 biweekly reader of the Communist League. Karl Marx, Engels and Mikhail Bakunin are among the names associated with that publication. East Germany named its Army soccer club ASK Vorwaerts Berlin (later FC Vorwaerts Frankfort).

Vladimir Lenin founded the publication "Vpered" (the Russian word for "forward") in 1905. Soviet propaganda film-maker Dziga Vertov made a documentary whose title is sometimes translated as "Forward, Soviet" (though also and more literally as "Stride, Soviet").

Conservative critics of the Obama administration have noted numerous ties to radicalism and socialists throughout Mr. Obama's history, from his first political campaign being launched from the living room of two former Weather Underground members, to appointing as green jobs czar Van Jones, a self-described communist.

THE ORB: So what happened ?

HE: A committee member sticks his head out and calls us in. They are going to give us two weeks to resubmit the paper with the proper annotations. I must not fail to make the corrections they've noted. They shake our hands and depart. Levin says to think about the changes and get back with him in a week. “Just be dispassionate, and analytical,” he says.

THE ORB: But sometimes you've got to give to receive.

HE: That's what Levin said even with all of his lectures on belief systems and fighting for what is right. The guess is he didn't have to face this typical, socialistic college presidium.

THE ORB: This is getting too deep, have a stick of khat chow, I'd better give you some space.

HE: Levin is going out of town for a week, so screw it, let's party.

BOOLE: No man did more to expose the power of the FED than Louis T. McFadden, who was the Chairman of the House Banking Committee back in the 1930s. In describing the FED, he remarked in the Congressional Record, House pages 1295 and 1296 on June 10, 1932:

"Mr. Chairman, we have in this country one of the most corrupt institutions the world has ever known. I refer to the Federal Reserve Board and the Federal reserve banks. The Federal Reserve Board, a Government Board, has cheated the Government of the United States and he people of the United States out of enough money to pay the national debt. The depredations and the iniquities of the Federal Reserve Board and the Federal reserve banks acting together have cost this country enough money to pay the national debt several times over. This evil institution has impoverished and ruined the people of the United States; has bankrupted itself, and has practically bankrupted our Government. It has done this through the maladministration of that law by which the Federal Reserve Board, and through the corrupt practices of the moneyed vultures who control it".

Some people think the Federal Reserve Banks are United States Government institutions. They are not Government institutions, departments, or agencies. They are private credit monopolies which prey upon the people of the United States for the benefit of themselves and their foreign customers.

Those 12 private credit monopolies were deceitfully placed upon this country by bankers who came here from Europe and who repaid us for our hospitality by undermining our American institutions.

The FED basically operates like this:

The government granted its power to create money to the FED banks.

The Fed create money, then loan it back to the government charging interest.

The government levies income taxes to pay the interest on the

362. debt.

On this last point, it's interesting to note that the Federal Reserve Act and the sixteenth amendment, which gave congress the power to collect income taxes, were both passed in 1913.

The incredible power of the FED over the economy is universally admitted. Some people, especially in the banking and academic communities, even support it. On the other hand, there are those, such as President John Fitzgerald Kennedy, that have spoken out against it. His efforts were spoken about in Jim Marrs's 1990 book Crossfire:

“Another overlooked aspect of Kennedy's attempt to reform American society involves money. Kennedy apparently reasoned that by returning to the constitution, which states that only Congress shall coin and regulate money, the soaring national debt could be reduced by not paying interest to the bankers of the Federal Reserve System, who print paper money then loan it to the government at interest. He moved in this area on June 4, 1963, by signing Executive Order 11110 which called for the issuance of $4,292,893,815 in United States Notes through the U.S. Treasury rather than the traditional Federal Reserve System. That same day, Kennedy signed a bill changing the backing of one and two dollar bills from silver to gold, adding strength to the weakened U.S. currency.”

Kennedy's comptroller of the currency, James J. Saxon, had been at odds with the powerful Federal Reserve Board for some time, encouraging broader investment and lending powers for banks that were not part of the Federal Reserve system. Saxon also had decided that non-Reserve banks could underwrite state and local general obligation bonds, again weakening the dominant Federal Reserve banks".

In a speech made to Columbia University on Nov. 12, 1963, ten days before his assassination, President John Fitzgerald Kennedy said:

"The high office of the President has been used to foment a plot to destroy the American's freedom and before I leave office, I must inform the citizen of this plight."

363.

According to the Constitution of the United States, (Article 1 Section 8), only Congress has the authority to coin Money, regulate the Value thereof, and of foreign Coin, and fix the Standard of Weights and Measures.

However, since 1913 this Amendment has not been followed. In 1913, the Federal Reserve System was created, giving a private owned corporation the authority to "create" and coin the money of United States. The Federal Reserve is comprised of 12 private credit monopolies who have been given the authority to control the supply of the "Federal Reserve Notes", interest rates and all the other monetary and banking phenomena.

Another way to look at the Federal Reserve’s way of working is this:

12 private credit monopolies "create", (or print), Federal Reserve Notes which are lent to the American government.

The government granted its power to create money to the FED banks.

The Fed create money, then loan it back to the government charging interests.

The government levies income taxes to pay the interest on the debt.

Again, it is interesting to note that the Federal Reserve Act and the sixteenth amendment which gave congress the power to collect income taxes, were both passed in 1913.

Shortly before the 17th Amendment took the power to elect Senators away from the States and gave it to the Fed.

The Federal Reserve Notes are not backed by anything of "intrinsic" value -- i.e., silver -- since The Crime of 1873, and then gold with Nixon.

TO SURMISE AND ITERATE:

On June 4, 1963, President, John Fitzgerald Kennedy signed the Presidential decree, Executive Order 11110, which stripped the

364.

Federal Reserve Banking System of its power to loan money to the United States Federal Government at interest.

This decree meant that for every ounce of silver in the U.S. Treasury's vault, the U.S. Government could introduce new money into circulation based on the silver bullion physically held there.

As a result, more than $4 trillion in United States Notes were brought into circulation in $2 and $5 denominations.

$10 and $20 United States Notes were never circulated but were being printed by the Treasury Department when Kennedy was assassinated. Kennedy knew that if the silver backed United States Notes were widely circulated, they would have eliminated the demand for Federal Reserve Notes.

This gave the U.S. Treasury the Constitutional authority to coin U.S. money once again, and as such preventing the national debt from rising due to fiat money, deficit spending and the "usury" that the American people are charged for "borrowing" the FRN's.

Only 5 months after Executive Order 11110 was signed, President Kennedy was assassinated.

Five months later, no more of the Series 1958 "Silver Certificates" were issued and they were subsequently removed from circulation.

Kennedy knew that if Congress coined and regulated money, as the Constitution states, the national debt would be reduced by not paying interest to the 12 credit monopolies. This in itself would have allowed the American people freedom of money that they earned, enabling the economy to grow.

It is interesting to note that Executive Order 11110 is still in effect, though no U.S. President has followed it.

BOOLE: THE THEORY:

365.

If the weapon and ammo used to blow the back of JFK's head off were AR-15 and .22 caliber respectively, and the only groups with access to the AR-15 with .22 caliber ammo were the military and the CIA, then his death had to be government-oriented, either the military, the CIA, or both.

Even if the weapon found at the Book Depository were used, or even if it was a 7.5mm Mauser, it would not have created the head wound. Remember, projectiles don't tumble, but the .22 caliber fired through the AR-15 could have wobbled, causing the type of head wound that killed JFK. Especially since the "twists" in the AR-15 barrel were not increased until after JFK's death.

Increasing the twists reduces the "lethality."

Even the single bullet theory (Can you believe Specter had the chutzpah to run for President, then switch parties ?) has some credence if the velocity is fast enough and the projectile is small enough. But the 6.5mm Mannlicher-Carcano does not have that capability based on its AMMO. What gun did assuming the Warren Commission is adulterated mendacity ?

The AR-15.

Did anyone ever check the lot number of the brass found by the window, test fire results -- OF THE AMMO, not the shooter -- quality control checks, and barrel lead tracings ? Even if the 6.5mm or 7.5mm projectile could have done the damage to JFK's head, why only there and not the other (at least two) shots.

THE CRUX:

Even if the Warren Commission's report is right and only three shots were fired less than seven seconds, the wound ballistics seems to indicate TWO different types of guns and ammo.

In toto, only light caliber ammo (.22 Remington), fired by a powerful propellant (Improved Military Rifle [IMR] powder of the DuPont Corporation), through a new weapon (AR-15 of the Armalite Corporation) could have caused that exit and entrance wounds on the head shot. A military weapon, new and deadly. The CIA had it; a near-perfect killing machine JFK himself approved.

366.

Hypothetically, the entire history of the AR-15 may be linked to JFK's death. Consider the corruption and the politics of the rejection of the AR-15 and its replacement by the new "militarized AR-15," the Colt M-16; as well as the replacement of DuPont's IMR powder with Olin Mathieson Corporation's lousy "ball powder;" and the military leadership of the Army and Air Force in 1963 as they saw great profit in procurement for Vietnam through Colt and the M- 16.

Only a few things stood in the way of profit from an M-16 and ball ammo that was so defective many of our 54,000 lost lives can be directly connected to its malfunction: a President who was going to close the industrial military complex candy store, not to mention getting the fuck out of SE Asia, and killing the Fed. All very soon, like before the upcoming 1964 general elections.

EPILOGUE:

Again based on the article in the Atlantic Monthly [June 1981]:

"In the middle of 1967, a House Armed Services Committee subcommittee, headed by Representative Richard Ichord, a Democrat from Missouri, conducted a lengthy inquiry into the origins of the M-16 problem. The hearing record is 600 pages long and is a forgotten document."

"During the early stages of the congressional hearings, Ichord asked Eugene Stoner to explain the apparent paradox of a small bullet's destructive power:"

ICHORD: One Army boy told me that he shot a Vietnamese near the eye with an M-14 [which uses a substandard heavier bullet] and the bullet did not make too large a hole on exit, but he shot a Vietcong under similar circumstances in the same place with an M- 16 and his whole head was reduced to pulp. This would appear to make sense. You have greater velocity but the bullet is lighter.

STONER: There is the advantage that a small or light bullet has over a heavy one when it comes to wound ballistics.... What it amounts to is the fact that bullets are stabilized to fly through the air, and not water, or a body which is approximately the same density as water. And they are stable as long as they are in the air. When they hit something, they immediately go unstable. If you

367. are talking about .30 caliber [like the bullet used in the M-14], this might remain stable through the human body. While a little bullet, being it has a low mass, it senses an instability situation faster and reacts much quicker. This makes a little bullet pay off so much in wound ballistics...."

BOOLE: Looking at JFK's head wound from start to finish (Z335): explosive from front to rear and UNSTABLE. Not two rounds fired simultaneously, get a grip.

Check JFK's throat wound: nearly straight through and STABLE. Even if the back wound caused the throat wound both would be unstable indicating a smaller caliber than the 6.5mm.

Check Connally's back wound: explosive from back, rib, to wrist was UNSTABLE.

Check Connally's leg wound: straight through was STABLE.

That is their undoing. They used different weapons and ammo types, one probably the military AR-15.

NARRATOR: A great story, if not even nearly the truth.

BOOLE: Don't worry, that script was rejected too. Currently, he is rewriting it with a different plot-line, but always the same ending.

WRITTEN ON SCREEN: "Talent is developed in privacy, you know ? And it's really true." - Norma Jean (quoting Goethe )

HE: Goethe ?

DOROTHY: She was different.

NARRATOR: The Queen of The Silver Dollar was near tears as she finished it.

368.

DOROTHY: Thank you for writing that quote. We all wish you Godspeed in all endeavors.

HE: You're most welcome. So what happened to Norma Jean ?

NARRATOR: Dorothy breaks into an oratory befitting Gerry Spence.

DOROTHY: Monroe's last home was in Brentwood, California, at 12305 5th Helena Drive. She was in the process of renovating the hacienda at when she was found dead by her housekeeper Eunice Murray, in the middle of the night, on August 5, 1962.

Murray said she noticed the phone cord under Marilyn's door, which was unusual because she never slept with her phone in her room. This worried Murray, so she called Marilyn's psychiatrist, Dr. Ralph Greenson. Greenson broke a window to get into Marilyn's home, and then upon discovering her sprawled on her bed with a phone clutched in her right hand, called Marilyn's internist, Dr. Engelberg. Engelberg listened for a heartbeat, and when there was not one, called the police.

THE ORB: Anyone must have been suspicious.

HE: I read that Joe DiMaggio’s mother was the one on the phone and said she heard her being killed.

DOROTHY: A suppository by any other name is still a pain in the ass.

HE: Rhymes with depository.

DOROTHY: Murray and doctors Greenson and Engelberg claim that Marilyn was found at 3:30 a.m. However, Natalie Jacobs, wife of Marilyn's spokesman Arthur Jacobs, said she found out about Marilyn's death while at a concert well before 11:00 p.m. that same day. She also says that her husband had to "fudge the press."

BOOLE: She was 36 years old. Her death was ruled as an overdose from the sleeping pill Nembutal. There was also a high dose of Chloral Hydrate in her blood which added to the Nembutal pushed her over the edge. Several conspiracy theories have surfaced in the decades after her death, some involving President John F.

369.

Kennedy and/or Robert Kennedy. There is also speculation that her death was accidental, but the official cause of death was "probable suicide" by acute barbiturate poisoning.

DOROTHY: The key to getting away with murder is complete control of the victim and evidence, even if for decades. And a cover-up requires buying off or cajoling by political theme all involved to ensure that no one ever tells the truth, no matter what lies be told and media are used to spread them, it must get the lawyer, the reporter, the judge, the doctors and the politicians in silent conspiracy. A soft coup.

HE: It's an expensive and cruel science, one that can cost hundreds of millions of dollars to get away with.

BOOLE: Ella Fitzgerald credited Monroe with helping her break the color barrier and launching her career into the mainstream.

ELLA: It was because of (Marilyn Monroe) that I played the (heretofore segregated) Mocambo. She personally called the owner and told him she wanted me booked immediately, and if he would do it, she would take a front table every night.

She told him – and it was true, due to Marilyn’s superstar status – that the press would go wild. The owner said yes, and Marilyn was there, front table, every night. The press went overboard. After that, I never had to play a small jazz club again. She was an unusual woman –- a little ahead of her time. And didn’t she know it.

DOROTHY: And she was no dumb blond either, Monroe's personal library contained hundreds of books. Many of the volumes, auctioned in 1999, bore her pencil notations in the margins.

NARRATOR: It was as if she was still hitting her marks on que.

(Norma Jean enters stage right, wearing her famous white dress, and all to the applause of Captain Decatur and his men. Jaco even stops for a second to gaze, then continues unfazed.)

NORMA JEAN (standing next to Dorothy): I think that when you are famous every weakness is exaggerated.

370.

HE: So, you weren’t just sexual creativity ?

NORMA JEAN: No. Creativity has got to start with humanity and when you're a human being, you feel, you suffer. You're gay, you're sick, you're nervous or whatever.

THE ORB: But she loved her fame.

NORMA JEAN (laughs): So long, I've had you fame. See, I told you it was fickle.

NARRATOR: Dorothy hands him three folders.

DOROTHY: Here, read these.

NARRATOR: Dorothy again smiles openly as she had to his reaction to the spontaneous Carter toast.

He is near speechless as he reads, and frankly, looking around, fell in love with the place and clientele.

HE (open-mouthed): Oh, my God. Seems Norma Jean and yourself had this thing for suppositories and gin.

NARRATOR: Dorothy, Norma Jean, and Old Jack were laughing as he read their respective autopsy reports when Old Gringo and Louie come over the join in.

They take the respective medical examiners reports and laugh out loud like 'ole Heinie Himmler at the kegger in the bunker.

He tries to break the mood.

HE: Shouldn’t have mentioned Carter ?

DOROTHY: No, never, this room is full of those honored for living real lives and suffering real tragedy, not lies and malaise. We call ourselves the Oyster Pirates.

OLD JACK: Jack is still popular, though.

371.

DOROTHY: Bar-tab payers they'll toast. Well, probably not that fat Ohio republican, whose ilk caused this in the first place.

RESIDENT PRESIDENT: I heard that.

NARRATOR: He looks around at everyone and sees young John doing the same, but taking notes on everything.

The upright bass player is flat getting it on.

THE ORB: He plays that like he is talking.

HE (point to Jaco): Just exactly who is the virtuoso ?

DOROTHY: Jaco was the greatest of his age, but beset by mental disorder that in your day can be cured by a pill.

NARRATOR: From Jaco’s table the man and woman lean over.

BOREMAN (sadness in her eyes and voice): He was rewarded for such God-given affliction by being brutally murdered in Miami by a redneck, animal named Luke Haven. He was beaten like a dog, the truest victim in this room of victims. Right, Vaughn ?

NEW ENGLAND YUPPIE (sounding like JFK): He isn't much on conversation, which is maddening to a bunch of unpublished writers.

THE ORB: From what I remember Florida starves them to death.

HE: Forgive us, we didn't know.

DOROTHY: No one does, that is the secret of forgotten victimization: time. But someone out there will remember. Someone out there will remind them.

THE ORB: Don’t start thinking those thoughts again. What happened to those people is not our concern.

DOROTHY (grabs his hand): Don't forget any of us: myself, Old Jack, Old Gringo, Louie, Bobby, the fat bastard, young John, the New England yuppie and Miss Boreman, Jaco, Captain Stephen, Norma

372.

Jean or the groups of 140,000,000. [Pauses briefly and turns to the resident President.] Well maybe you can forget the fat Republican, but he is funny, good-natured, smart, but above all buys the house rounds.

HE: No, ma'am, we won't.

NARRATOR: Old Gringo steps in and bends over to kiss Dorothy on the cheek.

DOROTHY: How was Mexico, Old Gringo ? No on heard from you and we were worried.

OLD GRINGO: About like Dallas, dear Dorothy. A Red Terror revolution is a Red Terror Forward-thinking revolution. And how is Old Jack doing ?

OLD JACK: Looking at my obit. [Hands them and the autopsy reports to Old Gringo and Louis.]

NARRATOR: Old Gringo and Louie carefully peruse the autopsy reports.

OLD GRINGO: This is some work of fiction.

LOUIE: Do you two have the same Doctor ?

NARRATOR: Those seated at the rest of the bar laugh.

LOUIE: Quite an occurrence at Dealey Park. Eh, Old Gringo ?

OLD JACK: Is the republican over there so boring you two that you just had to come over ?

OLD GRINGO (speaking in a banal tone while ignoring Old Jack): That’s Dealey Plaza ,and yes, The Wizard of Oz was more entertaining. Correct, Dorothy ?

LOUIE (in a sarcastic Scottish voice): Just the ones from Ohio, or Chicago; strange but funny lot they are, like the Texans.

DOROTHY: Strange case, a bunch of Jekylls and Hydes, huh Louie ?

373.

OLD GRINGO: McKinley did not cause me to strain from laughter. [Points at He and The Orb.] Say, Dorothy, did you ever guess what the newest Oyster Pirate pussy-shooter here does for a living ?

NARRATOR: The bar cracks up and even the Swamper hits the bar for that knee slapper.

DOROTHY: Well, well, Mister Hearst has you barking sarcasm again. Not only at those men of Ohio and Chicago again, but now me. Quiet, oh rebel chaser, lest you be falsely accused of being the harbinger of another assassination.

BOOLE: After the initial formation within the trade winds of a low- pressure system, which is called a hurricane seedling if it persists for 48 hours or more, God and Africa cause the seedlings to strengthen and develop into the most powerful force on earth.

The Sun, as our only source of heat on the planet, is also the first and foremost ingredient for hurricane development. Around 75- 80% of the Earth's surface is covered by water, most of that the oceans. Since water holds heat energy better than the land, our tropical oceans' are extremely efficient in storing energy transmitted by the Sun.

As Spring turns to Summer, the Sun's rays become more intense and direct. The tropical oceans slowly heat up, day after day throughout the summer, until they reach a temperature of 80 degrees Fahrenheit or higher. The 80-degree mark is usually considered the minimum threshold temperature needed to support the development of a hurricane.

The warm ocean enhances the transfer of heat, and through evaporation, transfers water vapor into the atmosphere. These two processes that must be very active for a seedling to develop into a tropical depression.

Once the ocean is heated up nicely by the Sun, a wave, or spark is needed to set off the storm.

374.

Equatorial Africa provides such a spark that gets the fire going in the seedling. Every few days (with a seasonal average between 49 and 69), a tropical African easterly wave migrates westward off the coast of Africa near the Cape Verde Island and yields an adequate initial impetus for winds to spiral into the newly formed low-pressure central area of the seedling.

The irony here is that one of the driest areas on earth is the birthplace for storms that have produced some of the greatest rainfall records on earth yet leave Africans in drought and starvation.

This spiraling or rotation is known to a scientist as vorticity. No vorticity is present at the equator, but it increases with increasing latitude. Most hurricanes achieve latitudes of less than 30 degrees, approximately the same latitude of the cities of St. Augustine and Panama City, Florida. Anything above 30 degrees and the water is too cold to facilitate development.

Nearly 100 of these concentrated areas of low pressure cross the Atlantic each hurricane season. Only a small portion, around 10 a year, ever becomes anything more than a large thunderstorm complexes over the water. However, the ones that do develop keep folks west of 60 degrees longitude as nervous as Janet Reno's neutered Chihuahua, and cause them to keep a sharp eye on "Cape Verde" storms.

Thus, hurricanes consist of high-velocity winds blowing circularly around a low-pressure center, the "eye," that has developed when the warm, saturated air prevalent in the doldrums is under run and forced upward by denser, cooler air.

The last key ingredient is a lack of strong upper-level winds blowing in the opposite direction that the fledgling hurricane is moving. This "low vertical shield" impedes the hurricane from stacking its thunderstorms, in a process called "convection," neatly around the center or "eye" of the storm. If such shear or strong upper-level winds come racing from the southwest or west and meet any tropical storm or hurricane moving westward head-on, then there is little chance of the storm strengthening and more likelihood of a dismantling.

BOOLE: In India, cryptography was also well known. It is recommended in the Kama Sutra as a technique by which lovers can communicate without being discovered.

HE: Not another BCE Fascist.

BOOLE: Sorry. They area cancer. However, back on topic and frequency analysis technique for breaking monoalphabetic substitution ciphers was the most fundamental cryptanalytic advance until WWII.

Essentially all ciphers remained vulnerable to this cryptanalytic technique until the invention of the polyalphabetic cipher by Alberti (ca 1465), and many remained so thereafter.

Cryptography became (secretly) still more important as a consequence of political competition and religious revolution.

For instance, in Europe during and after the Renaissance, citizens of the various Italian states, the Papal States and the Roman Catholic Church included, were responsible for the rapid proliferation of cryptographic techniques, few of which reflect understanding (or even knowledge) of Alberti's advance. 'Advanced ciphers', even after Alberti, weren't as advanced as their inventors/developers/users claimed (and probably even themselves believed); this over-optimism may be inherent in cryptography for it was then, and remains today, fundamentally difficult to know how vulnerable your system actually is. In the absence of knowledge, guesses and hopes, as may be expected, are common.

Cryptography, cryptanalysis, and secret agent/courier betrayal featured in the Babington plot during the reign of Queen Elizabeth I which led to the execution of Mary, Queen of Scots. An encrypted message from the time of the Man in the Iron Mask (decrypted just prior to 1900 by Etienne Bazeries) has shed some, regrettably non- definitive, light on the identity of that real, if legendary and unfortunate, prisoner.

Cryptography, and its misuse, were involved in the plotting which led to the execution of Mata Hari and in the conniving which led

376. to the travesty of Dreyfus's conviction and imprisonment, both in the early 20th century. Fortunately, cryptographers were also involved in exposing the machinations which had led to Dreyfus's problems; Mata Hari, in contrast, was shot.

Outside of the Middle East and Europe, cryptography remained comparatively undeveloped. Cryptography in Japan was not used until 1510 a.d., and advanced techniques were not known until after the opening of the country to the West in the 1860s.

BOOLE: The maximum effects of a hurricane are usually felt within what is called the right-front quadrant. Here the winds are typically strongest, the storm surge the highest, and the possibility of tornadoes is greatest. It is important to know whether or not your area will be affected by the right-front quadrant.

If so: Run away ! Run away ! Hurricanes are the most devastating natural disasters ever known to man, volcanoes like Krakatau and Vesuvius included.

The worst effects of the most dangerous storm in the world include:

1) Tornadoes that form in the spiral rain bands of a hurricane as it moves onshore since the changing wind speeds with height acts like a huge twisting mechanism for tornado formation, 2) Flooding from torrential rain that averages five to 12 inches for the affected area and that is a problem even if you live hundreds from where a slow-moving hurricane or tropical storm initially comes ashore, 3) Damaging winds that is the hallmark of hurricanes and begin with winds of at least 74 miles per (category one) hour going to more than 155 miles per hour (category five), 4) Lightning and hail, though less frequent during hurricanes, nonetheless can still harass, and 5) The worst of the worst: Storm Surge.

NARRATOR: Regla Island is a small, easily passed mangrove island, just off the Saint James City coast. Its offering of deep and shallow spots from which to fish, and even debark the boat if one were so brave, separates it from most of the other Intracoastal islands. Not even Hurricane Charlie could change it.

It was still overcast as they circled the island for about an hour. Again, nothing.

HE: Fishing still sucks. THE ORB: Tell me about it.

NARRATOR: Queeg anchored them at the south end of Regla, still in what sun shined through. He had about given up for the day as Cap'n Queeg directed him to cast the last greenback bait fish into the big shady spot just to their right. Only this was no shady spot.

Just then, and as if this should be a daily surprise anywhere in south Florida in the summer, the cyclonic thunderstorm struck. When he looked up, surprised by the intense lightning, the whale’s strike was like being pulled by a meaningful Hulk Hogan handshake.

NARRATOR: He as still a droll and boring man with a personality akin to a metronome set on 60, and a look that resembled a Mister Potato Head with a Brillo Pad glued to it. Just a Chia Pet with simple verbal skills.

However, he nevertheless did not regret leaving the Call Center so ignominiously.

But taking the job again at his girlfriend's father's bank was taking its toll on him both personally and with respect to his Doctoral Studies.

However, one can only recharge your batteries by fishing just so many times before they go dead permanently. Maybe reading Sinclair Lewis would help him.

Not.

He had a busy day ahead, needed something new, something old, something relived. But he couldn't remember ever wanting to free himself from anything so much in his life.

He would, he thought, by way of space-time transposition, gladly have switched places with Guy Fawkes on the rack in the Tower of London if he could extricate himself from Dante's Fourth Circle of Hell: Janet. Who, like her father and mother who had just left them alone, eats and eats and eats.

Much like Elvis.

BOOLE: A subsequent article you will read later on the King’s eating habits that tallied his daily intake at 100,000 calories at its peak. That's more, one paper noted, than an Asian pachyderm consumes in a day.

There are four measures of central tendency: mean, mode, medium and midrange. Elvis eclipsed the 100,000 calorie mark in each.

NARRATOR: Truly the dumbest, most self-centered some-bitch to come out of Mississippi until Brett Favre and Owens.

He thought of Elvis's last glutenous days as he watched Janet stuff her soon-to-be fat face -- and Sanibel-like, axe-handle-wide ass -- with the type of fair The King would have set by his bedside:

Butter beans with pork. Any kind of greens with pork. Any part of the chicken fried with flour-based gravy made from the pork fat in the pan. Fried red meat (called country fried steak) with flour- based gravy made from the fat in the pan. Salted ‘maters. Biscuits with butter and flour-based gravy made from any fat drippings in a pan. Fried anything, even peanuts. Butter with clarified butter. Salted mashed ‘taters with butter. Salted grits with butter. And almost every part of a pig fried with flour-based gravy.

Almost all of which, like a southerner’s refrigerator and pantry, were the harbinger of enough purines to give a fucking bull elephant gout from the micro shivs of uric acid.

379.

Janet, known unaffectionately as The Queen, was only an enlightening article or two in the New York Post from recreating Elvis favorite sandwich: The Fool’s Gold Loaf from the now defunct Denver Mining Company restaurant near Stapleton airport.

BOOLE: According to this article here, Elvis, who usually consorted black southern eateries in New York Yankee areas like Tribeca, and Harlem, would even fly his entourage to Denver to get the sandwich on a whim.

HE: Oh, disposable income in the hands of lazy, fat idiots. SNAP, SNAP, better buy them chillin’ cases of Chek sodypop, and 10 boxes of cereal with da’ EBT card.

BOOLE: The Denver restaurant has since been closed for years. But you can re-create its one-of-a-kind 42,000 calorie sandwich-for- one from a hollowed-out loaf of oven-toasted bread filled with one large jar each of grape jelly and Skippy peanut butter plus a pound of bacon.

Elvis, ever mindful of his weight, insisted on lean bacon, thus keeping the total grams of fat in each 42,000 calorie loaf to a mere 1000 grams. That’s a kilogram of fat.

NARRATOR: He suddenly feared that Janet, like Elvis, loved bacon so much, she would also begin to keep a bowl of crispy pieces on her gut for munching purposes.

BOOLE: Elvis disdained alcohol, though, guess he didn’t want those empty calories getting in the way of comfort food.

NARRATOR: The good news is the fat bastard drowned in an ostentatiously-colored, shag carpet while puking in his ostentatiously-decorated bathroom in Graceland after ingesting his daily bottle of Dr. Nick prescribed uppers, downers, and pain pills so numerous that even a politician’s kid, or other rock stars, would be envious.

As an epilogue, Jerry Lee Lewis once drove to Graceland to try a personal intervention to save Elvis, but was kept away by the Memphis Mafia. Meal tickets need to be fed. The Killer gets high marks though that is about as plausible an intervention as having

HE: Why would anyone wrap paper around a lead bullet and shoot it in their rifle ?

BOOLE: Simply, because the paper keeps the lead from touching the barrel and leaving lead fouling in there. Paper-patched bullets were merely the forerunners of modern jacketed bullets.

HE: Then how in the world would one go about preparing such ammunition today ?

BOOLE: With great care, research, and attention to detail.

HE: But, why would anyone even bother doing it unless they were going to shoot the Mass Hypnotist with a flintlock ?

BOOLE: You must rethink the basics, and the place to start is with a bullet, and already we must rethink specifics. With modern bullets, lead or jacketed, the bullet starts out at barrel groove diameter or slightly larger.

For instance, a .45-70 takes bullets of .457" diameter in jacketed or .458" in lead alloy. With paper-patch bullets, not only must the bullet be under bore diameter (not groove) it likely needs to be tapered, too. And that's after you have wrapped .002"-thick, 100% cotton, rag paper around it twice.

Someone came up with a mold for the proper size 45 caliber bullet in a logical fashion. He obtained an original Sharps 45 caliber bullet and had Pioneer Products make a mould to duplicate it. As dropped from the mould these bullets are .451" at the base, .445" about 1/2" up from the base, and only .435" a full inch up from the base.

Furthermore, the bullet's base is cupped so after the paper is wrapped around it, the overlap can be pressed into the cup. After patching, these bullets measure .459" at the very base, .451" about 1/2" up and only .446" a full inch up.

381.

HE: Again, I ask the question, "Why the smaller diameter bullets ?"

BOOLE: Because, when fired, black powder leaves a hard fouling inside the barrel. If the bullet is too large, the fouling will tear the patch, and there will be lead smears from one end of the barrel to the other.

Why not try them at groove diameter ? Because in chambering the patch will be torn and there will be lead smears from one end of the barrel to the other. Believe me: the old timers knew what they were doing.

Those patches are cut out of the 100% cotton rag paper using a template.

Some are made from a brass plate someone gave to me decades ago. Wrapping the paper so it is tight requires a little experience, but after gaining some, it is possible to do about 100 in an hour. One can't imagine how they did it in tent camps on the windy prairie.

Here's another drastic change to accept. Many shooters think harder is better with lead alloy bullets. Not with paper patch (PP) bullets it isn't. Since they start out small, they rely on the explosion of the black powder beneath them to make them "slug- up" to fill the barrel. Therefore, they must be soft.

By 1899, Winchester was loading them with tin-lead mixes of 1:16 to 1:20 temper, according to their catalog of that year. I use the latter mix with complete satisfaction.

Here's another factor to rethink. With jacketed bullets reloading dies have a case mouth expanding and belling die about .003" smaller than what the bullet's diameter will be. Again thinking of a .45-70, that die will have a .454" plug intended for .457" bullets. With these PP bullets, the plug needs to be at least .458". Why ? So the patch doesn't get torn (remember the lead smears we spoke about above ?).

It begins to get tricky. Black powder leaves hard fouling, remember ?

382.

Unless you intend on cleaning the barrel after every shot (the old target shooters often did) something needs to be used to keep it soft.

Remember, too, about the torn patch business ? Therefore, put a lube disk of SPG Black Powder Bullet Lubricant between powder and bullet. How do you make a lube disk ? I extrude mine from a lube- disk hand pump made and sold by Tom Ballard. He can also make the proper moulds and patch cutting templates.

But, if you just put a disk of soft lube just between the powder and PP bullet it will likely wreck both. It will leach into the powder and also soak the paper patch. Therefore card or vegetable fiber wads need to go between the powder and lube disk on one side and between lube disk and bullet on the other. Do that and you can let the PP bullet ammo set for months on end without it going bad.

I use a .030" vegetable fiber wad under the lube and a .060" one over the lube. Why the difference ? Because in my early experiments the .030" wad over the lube was getting blown into the bullet's cupped base and causing flyers. Going to the stouter one eliminated the flyers.

HE: This guy is confusing. This sounds like muzzle-loaders which are not to be used. How do I mask Excalibur’s ammo ?

BOOLE: Look, use a lower caliber round, with a paper wrapped projectile, in a smaller conversion sleeve, with a larger caliber barrel. It is called paper patched projectiles and can load under- sized magnum cartridges.

HE: I get it. I think.

BOOLE: A number of different devices exist whose function is to non-permanently alter a firearm to allow it to fire a different cartridge than the one it was originally designed to fire.

These devices are called by many names: caliber conversion sleeve, cartridge conversion sleeve, supplemental chamber, chamber insert, and sub gauge inserts or sub-gauge tubes.

The simplest conversion is one that alters the length of the cartridge used, allowing a shorter but otherwise similarly dimensioned cartridge to be fired.

383.

Commonly called chamber inserts, these conversions resemble the front of the case, and are inserted into the firearm by placing over the new cartridge and inserting both into the chamber of the firearm. This sets the chamber insert into the front of the chamber, where it remains after firing.

Once inserted, the chamber insert will remain in place until removed with the use of a stuck case remover.

The most commonly encountered chamber inserts are ones designed to convert .30-06 Springfield to the shorter 7.62 x 51mm NATO. Since the chamber insert remains in the chamber, this type of conversion will function in semiautomatic firearms and is commonly used in military surplus arms such as the M1 Garand, allowing the use of often less expensive surplus military ammunition.

The next level of complexity involves altering the diameter of the cartridge used, typically allowing a short, straight walled handgun cartridge to be used in a rifle.

These are often called supplemental chambers, and the entire supplemental chamber is treated like a cartridge, being loaded and ejected as a unit with the smaller cartridge. Since the barrel of the firearm is used, the caliber of the cartridges must match. The most commonly encountered supplemental chambers are for .30 caliber (7.62mm) rifle cartridges, and use .32 ACP or other similarly sized cartridges. While this seems like it wouldn't work (.30 vs. .32 caliber), the .32 caliber handgun cartridges actually chamber bullets the same diameter as .30 caliber rifles (see heeled bullet for why this is so).

Supplemental chambers in .22 caliber, and potentially .17 caliber as well, pose a special problem not shared by larger calibers.

Rimfire cartridges, with their low cost, noise, and recoil, are ideal for use in a supplemental chamber, except for the fact that the firearm in question is almost certainly a centerfire design.

This means that supplemental chambers that use a rimfire cartridge must also provide a special offset firing pin. This is a metal insert that fits behind the rimfire cartridge and has an appropriate projection to act as a firing pin.

384.

When this insert is hit by the firearm's firing pin, it is pushed forwards, which causes it to crush the rim of the rimfire cartridge, igniting it. Use of the centerfire to rimfire conversion requires a longer case and so is not suitable for short cartridges such as .22 Hornet.

A notable exception to this is the Thompson Center Arms Contender, which has both centerfire and rimfire firing pins which can be selected with the turn of a switch and does not require a centerfire to rimfire converter.

Since the supplemental chambers are approximately the size of a normal loaded cartridge, they will usually feed from a magazine, though they will not provide sufficient energy to cycle an automatic action.

The most complete transformation is offered by the caliber conversion sleeve. These include not only a new chamber but a new barrel as well, allowing a smaller diameter bullet to be fired. These sleeves may be significantly longer than a loaded cartridge if the length of the parent cartridge is not sufficient to provide the desired performance. Unlike the other types of cartridge conversions, this type incorporates rifling to stabilize the bullet; the other types rely on the rifling in the firearm's barrel.

Chamber length sleeves are restricted cases where a short cartridge is used with a long parent cartridge. The sleeve is rifled up to the end of the sleeve. Since most cartridge cases are only a couple of inches long (about 5cm) this provides limited power. On the other hand, these will function from magazines in the same way as supplemental chambers, and allow the use of the least expensive rimfire ammunition in firearms chambered in calibers larger than .22 (5.56mm).

Sleeves that exceed the chamber length are generally used in break open actions, which allow easy insertion and removal. Like supplemental chambers, caliber conversion sleeves completely surround the new cartridge case, but cannot be ejected or fed from a magazine, so they only offer a single shot per barrel without manual extraction and reloading.

385.

The calibers supported by caliber conversion sleeves are limited by the difference between the calibers. The sleeve's barrel must be thick enough to provide structural integrity to the barrel, and so requires a large enough internal barrel diameter to hold the new barrel. One manufacturer has a .40 caliber (10mm) minimum diameter for these inserts in .22 rimfire caliber.

Some manufacturers offer caliber conversion sleeves for shotguns, which convert a shotgun into a rifle with the use of a rifled barrel.

Inserts for shotguns are called sub gauge inserts, and function in much the same manner as inserts for handguns or rifles. However, due to the Nature of shotguns, the implications of using an insert differ.

Since shotgun shells are all straight walled, a change in chambering means a change in diameter of the shell. However, since sub gauge inserts are designed to be used with shot, not slugs, the shotgun's barrel can continue to be used, with little or no impact on patterning. Many makers offer longer inserts, though due to the variations in shotgun bore diameters, these usually require custom manufacture.

In addition to often being less expensive than the larger cartridge, the smaller cartridges offer much-reduced recoil and muzzle blast. They are useful for short range target practice or killing small pests. With shotguns, the smaller shot load carried by a smaller shell increases the challenge of hitting targets, and therefore can be used as a handicap for a skilled shooter, or to increase difficulty when training.

Some European conversions exist for special gallery cartridges, similar in concept to the .22 CB rounds, which use a primer but no gunpowder. These adapters were chambered for centerfire versions of these tiny rounds, such as the 4mm Ubungsmunition cartridge. Gallery cartridges such as these were intended for use in indoor target practice, and are similar in power and report to an airgun.

With the advent of the rifled barrel, it was no longer necessary to fire a spherical projectile - though the new elongated bullets were still called balls in the military. The Minié ball contained a number of innovations.

386.

The first was a deep cavity in the rear, which caused the base of the bullet to expand upon firing, allowing an undersized bullet to be used without a patch. The next was a number of grooves around the bullet, which were filled with lubricant. As noted before, this lubricant also serves to soften the powder fouling, which makes loading the fouled barrel much easier.

Because the bullet is closely matched in size to the bore, the paper around the bullet must be much thinner than in a smoothbore, to fit in the thin gap between bullet and bore. To meet this requirement, while still ensuring a rugged cartridge, the cartridges were made in multiple parts. The following describes the construction of a cartridge for a British Enfield musket, from the inside out:

A short tube of stiff paper, which provides the strength for the cartridge A longer tube of thin paper, pushed inwards at one end, which serves to separate the powder from the bullet A long tube of thin paper, which holds the bullet at one end, and the stiffened powder container at the other

The bullet end of the cartridge was crimped shut, and the powder end was filled and folded closed. The bullet end of the completed cartridge was then dipped in a mixture of melted beeswax and tallow to lubricate the bullet.

To load the rifle, the powder end was opened up by unfolding or tearing, and the powder was poured into the rifle. The bullet end was then inserted up to the level of the thick paper tube, which was then torn off and discarded. The bullet was then seated with the ramrod, and the nipple primed with a percussion cap.

Percussion revolvers, while not truly muzzleloaders, are similar, as they load from the front of the cylinder. Typical paper cartridges for revolvers differ from the robust percussion rifle cartridges, in that the cartridge is inserted into the chamber whole, and rammed into place. Revolver cartridges were often combustible, and the bullet is typically exposed, with the paper cartridge glued, typically with sodium silicate, a high temperature glue that was widely available, as it was also used to preserve fresh eggs. Many examples were tapered, into a cone, being wider at the bullet than at the rear.

387.

Some commercially produced cartridges, such as those by Hayes of England, were also equipped with a small cloth tear tab at the front to assist in the removal of the protective outer layer prior to loading the cartridge.

The revolver paper cartridge lasted longer than it otherwise would have, and encompassed a wider range of forms, due to Rollin White's patent covering bored through cylinders on a revolver (adopted for a paper cartridge application). That patent was exclusively licensed by Smith & Wesson, giving them an effective monopoly on the American manufacture of effective cartridge revolvers until the patent expired. Prevented from converting to rimfire or centerfire cartridges, other manufacturers had to remain with percussion systems or develop proprietary front- loading cartridges.

HE: How can this crap help me like I asked ?

BOOLE: Getting to that part. The concept of a fully self-contained paper cartridge for a breech loader was patented in 1808, only a year after the invention of the percussion cap. One of the earliest breechloading firearms that was widely adopted was the Dreyse needle-gun, patented in 1839, which was put to good use by the Prussian army. The needle gun used a complete cartridge, containing bullet, powder, and primer in a paper cartridge. The primer was located at the base of the bullet, and the firing pin, or needle, penetrated the back of the case, went through the powder, and struck the primer to ignite it.

Look at a diagram of a Prussian needle gun cartridge. The needle gun cartridge was far ahead of its time. Not only was it fully self contained, and chambered in breechloading rifles, but it combined a number of very advanced features.

First, the ammunition was effectively caseless, leaving little or no residue behind after firing. Second, it used forward ignition, where the powder charge is ignited at the front rather than the rear. This provides superior internal ballistics performance, even in modern ammunition, as shown by experiments in modern firearms by various experts, including Elmer Keith. The final feature is the use of a saboted subcaliber bullet. The acorn-shaped bullet used by the Prussians was carried in a Papier-mâché sabot which served not only to seal the bore but also contain the primer.

388.

The fragility of the breech-loading needle gun was a primary reason that only a few militaries adopted the system; in the well trained Prussian army, this was handled by having each soldier carry several spare needles. This allowed the individual soldiers to repair their guns in the field.

Paper shotshells, consisting of a paper body with a brass base and rim, continued to be made for many years until finally being replaced by plastic and brass shells. These shells consisted of a coiled paper tube, placed in a brass base, with the web of the case made of compressed paper pulp. These cartridges are sturdy enough to be reloaded

HE: What EXACTLY is a modern paper patch bullet ? I need FAQs.

BOOLE: FAQs ? Hold on to your hat. What exactly is a paper patch ? Think of a bullet with a paper jacket instead of a metal jacket. The paper jacket or patch does the same job as the metal jacket. The word "patch" probably is a carry-over from the use of a "patch" around a lead ball used in the aforementioned muzzleloading arms.

Modern arms and PP bullets ? Paper patched bullets have been used in everything from .22 centerfires to the big .50 BMG.

Can any paper be used ? Yes, but for best results, a paper with a 25% cotton fiber content works best. The most common and easiest to use paper is that which measures about .0025" thick.

Can you use a semi-wadcutter bullet ? Semi-wadcutter bullets (SWC) bullets have a small step where the ogive and bearing meet. This is intended to cut a clean hole in a paper target for more accurate scoring. SWC bullets are not just for handguns but are very accurate and effective in rifles and shotguns as well and make fine PP bullets.

Does the bullet have to have a step ? Some call this bullet the "smooth ogive" bullet because the ogive blends smoothly into the bearing of the bullet. The smooth ogive bullet is formed in a point forming die instead of the lead bullet die. This is usually a more accurate bullet for long range shooting.

389.

Can you make hexagon Whitworth bullets ? The first Whitworth rifles die indeed used a hexagonal bullet to match the rifling. The rifling profile was changed on later rifles and modern replicas to allow the use of a PP round bullet. Most Whitworth rifles will do their best work with a round bullet instead of the early hexagon bullet.

HE: But which reduced bullet ? Which patch ? Which caliber barrel ? Which caliber conversion sleeve ?

BOOLE: Here, have a look at this.

THE ORB: Dude, bullets are bullets.

BOOLE: Perhaps it is also appropriate here to mention a subtle distinction between fractals and self-similarity. A fractal object has structure on so many different size scales that the dimensionality of the object is greater than the Euclidean dimension of its approximate geometric shape.

For example, the approximate Euclidean dimensionality for the Earth’s surface is 2, but its fractal dimension is between 2 and 3.

On the other hand, an “object” could be called self-similar even with as few as two scales of similar structure. A Russian doll, which is a nested set of dolls within dolls, has virtually exact self-similarity but is not formally a fractal.

Fractals almost always involve self-similarity, but self-similar structures need not be fractal, in the full mathematical sense. Given the ubiquity of fractals in Nature and the many additional instances of non-fractal self-similarity, one has a hard time identifying anything in Nature that is devoid of these fundamental phenomena.

Since we have become familiar with the basic ideas of self- similarity, we are ready to take a look at some actual examples.

390.

Let’s say that we are sitting at an outdoor café, sipping double lattes, and amusing ourselves by trying to identify self-similar phenomena in Nature.

We could hardly do better than to start with our own bodies.

As mentioned in the introduction, our circulatory systems are based on a self-similar design. It is crucial that oxygen- carrying blood reaches all parts, and all relevant scales, of our bodies. The branching self-similarity of our circulatory systems, from major arteries to tiny capillaries, accomplishes this critical task in the most efficient way. Like most examples of branching phenomena in Nature, the design of the circulatory system involves approximate self-similarity and multiple scaling.

Feeling a bit self-referential, we might then consider the self- similar architecture of our brains and nervous systems.

In this case, it is electrochemical signals that must be transported throughout our bodies. This occurs via a self-similar branching system of neurons, in good analogy to the case of the circulatory system.

Moreover, there is a remarkable degree of nested self-similar networking present in the brain and nervous system. Individual neurons are linked into small clusters, which in turn are components of larger clusters of clusters, and so on.

Also, the release of neurotransmitters by individual neurons occurs with similar fluctuations on different time scales, thereby manifesting temporal self-similarity.

If the strong coffee makes our stomachs “growl,” then we might think of an example of self-similarity that occurs in the intestines. To increase the efficiency of nutrient absorption into the blood stream there are small finger-like structures (villi) that line the inside of the intestines. These fingers have even smaller fingers on their surfaces, and by now it should not surprise anyone that there are microscopic fingers on the fingers of the fingers.

In our lungs, where the goal is to maximize the transfer of oxygen into the blood stream, it is advantageous to have a very large

391. surface area over which this can take place. This is accomplished by a remarkable self-similar hierarchy of tubular membranes and air passages involving approximately 15 levels of self-similar branching between the largest bronchial tubes and the smallest scale alveoli.

Our cellular DNA, which acts as a blueprint for building an organism and as a control center for biological processes, contains examples of self-similarity in the frequencies of base pair occurrences and in long-range correlations. The outer membranes of our cells have sodium, potassium and calcium channels whose open/shut patterns reveal a temporal self-similarity.

Viruses that sometimes afflict us, and the immune system’s macrophages that fight back, often have fractal surfaces that are statistically self-similar.

We might go on with further examples of self-similarity within our bodies, but perhaps we would like to expand our horizons a bit and explore the outer world for new examples of this remarkable design strategy. Let’s say we decide to use our mind’s eye to view Nature from the local stellar neighborhood to the largest observable scales of the universe.

Galaxies, the vast spiral and elliptical systems measuring on the order of 1,000,000,000,000,000,000 miles in diameter, are distributed in statistically self-similar patterns.

Individual galaxies are usually found in small clusters, which are the components of larger clusters of clusters, which are nested into “superclusters” of clusters of clusters. On a much smaller scale, the stars within each galaxy are distributed in an analogous self-similar pattern: individual stars, small clusters of stars, clusters of clusters, etc. Likewise, the countless numbers of atomic ions that make up stars and their immediate environs are in high energy plasma states with rapidly shifting self-similar clustering.

At interstellar scales, the Hubble Space Telescope has revealed beautiful, and somewhat eerie, interstellar gas/dust clouds with nested self-similar “pillars” and clumps occurring over six orders of magnitude in scale. The Eagle Nebula is an awe-inspiring example of vast colorful pillar-shaped clouds set against the

392. blackness of space. The largest pillars have small pillars sprouting from their sides, and the small pillars have even smaller pillars studding their surfaces.

These last four examples are members of the nesting category, with primarily statistical and nearly continuous self-similarity.

The solar wind, consisting mostly protons flowing away from the Sun along its magnetic field lines, displays comparable fluctuations on different time scales -- i.e., temporal self- similarity.

Of further interest is the fact that the distributions of galaxies, of stars within galaxies, and of interstellar atomic ions often have comparable filamentous or “honeycomb” patterns: relatively high-density linear filaments separated by low-density regions.

Examples with higher degrees of similarity can also be found in space, such as the analogy between planet/moon systems and the much larger Sun/planet system.

We might also consider the strong similarities between galactic scale quasars and stellar scale microquasars, or the fact that neutron stars are in many ways like giant atomic nuclei.

But perhaps we are ready to come back from the far reaches of the universe and look for further examples of self-similarity in the middle distance.

So we lean back in our chairs and gaze up at the Earth’s atmosphere, which provides another rich source of examples in our hunt for self-similarities.

Clouds, especially cirrus (wispy) and cumulus (puffy) clouds, are prime examples of nested self-similarity wherein the biggest wisps or puffs are composed of smaller scale wisps or puffs, and so on.

The sky also abounds with the turbulent motions of different air masses. Not surprisingly, since a turbulence expert coined the term self-similarity, turbulent motion provides archetypal examples.

On smaller scales within the atmosphere, snowflakes often display self-similar branching patterns or hexagonal crystals within crystals, and aggregating dust particles have growth patterns that are statistically self-similar.

On very small scales, there is chaotic Brownian motion wherein big molecules and microscopic particles are buffeted around by the smallest and fastest moving air molecules in erratic zigzag patterns that are self-similar on micrometer to nanometer scales.

Lowering our gaze, we might look out on an ocean whose surface usually has a self-similar hierarchy of waves upon waves upon waves, with heights ranging from meters to millimeters.

Bodies of water also have an abundance of self-similar turbulence: whorls within whorls within whorls, as in the case of atmospheric turbulence.

The mixing of fluid masses with differing densities, temperatures, or chemical contents often occurs in a self-similar hierarchy of interpenetrating “fingers”. The tributary and drainage systems of rivers usually exhibit branching self-similarity, and as mentioned before, coastlines are a classic example of statistical self- similarity.

If we see a distant mountain range, we could count its profile as yet another example of statistical self-similarity because of the hierarchy of peak/valley morphologies on size scales ranging from kilometers to centimeters.

In fact, nearly all of the surfaces we encounter have self-similar structure over at least some range of size scales. Consider the vast craters-within-craters surface of the Moon displaying self- similar divots that range in diameter from kilometers to millimeters, or the miniature analogue of the pocked bricks under our table.

Erosion processes in desert regions yield a wealth of self-similar surfaces, and areas of snow and ice, from the vast continent of Antarctica to the piles of snow next to our driveways, have self- similar topographies.

Well chosen aerial or ground photographs of Antarctica with

394. different scales between hundreds of kilometers and hundreds of centimeters can be surprisingly difficult to order in terms of size if reference objects are not included.

Having noted several examples of statistical self-similarity in the inorganic world, we now decide to return to living organisms wherein the degree of self-similarity is sometimes high, if not quite exact.

The plant kingdom provides one of the richest sources of such examples. Ferns and cedar boughs have pleasing multi-leveled designs that are strongly self-similar. The overall shape of the fronds or boughs is roughly that of a broad “sword” with a sharp tip and a stem running along its midline. But if we look more closely at the overall shape, we see that it is actually composed of many small swords oriented at right angles to the main stem. These second-level swords, in turn, are divided into third-level swords lying roughly perpendicular to the second-level stems.

The Western Red Cedar tree has five scales of self-similar sword- shapes if one includes the overall triangular shape of the tree itself. When the three-scaled self-similarity of ferns was first pointed out to me, I realized that I had been looking at ferns for decades without seeing and appreciating their true design.

The Dill plant affords a pleasing example of self-similarity with two scales of structure. The main stem rises to a node from which many secondary stems radiate. At the end of each second level stem, there is a miniature copy with radiating third level stems capped by flowers.

Many types of cactus plants, such as the Saguaro, have growth patterns that produce a hierarchy of self-similar lobes. Another impressive example of self-similarity is found in Broccoli Coral.

Amazingly thick trunks repeatedly subdivide into ever-smaller branches in an impressive hierarchy that reminds one of the bronchial tubes of the lungs.

Having had a fairly broad sampling of self-similarity in various realms of Nature, we now decide to try something new by seeking out more abstract examples of this design in social systems, mathematics and the arts.

395.

If one thinks about how our governments, judicial systems, law enforcement agencies or various economic systems work, one sees that they have fairly discrete hierarchical arrangements with federal, state and local levels often being the major scales.

Basically, a similar type of activity is occurring at the different scales and so we find a familiar design in a new context.

The main principle of self-similarity - “same” thing on different scales - can be found in countless examples from the social sectors. The Internet has grown according to the laws of self- similarity and its complex multi-scaled networking is reminiscent of the self-similar networking in the brain.

Likewise, the growth patterns and interconnectedness of cities exhibit similar phenomena on different scales, the hallmark of self-similarity.

In the world of art, self-similarity is a common theme. It is found in the floor and wall art of medieval churches and mosques, in the drip paintings of Jackson Pollack, in African art and sculpture, in the drawings of M.C. Escher, in the tradition of Russian dolls, and in a host of other artistic forms.

Self-similarity is a standard motif in music, most notably in the works of J.S. Bach. His “well-tempered” tuning, which facilitates the playing of an instrument in many keys, is grounded in temporal self-similarity.

In mathematics, where recursive operations are common, self- similarity pops up everywhere from proofs of the Pythagorean theorem to logarithmic spirals. By far the most impressive example is the incomparable Mandelbrot set, with its infinite hierarchy of M-sets within M-sets within M-sets.

Interestingly, in Albert Einstein’s last scientific paper, written for a ‘50th anniversary of relativity’ conference in Italy, he noted that the equations of general relativity had an intrinsic self-similarity to them. He struggled to understand the strange implications of this finding, but his time on Earth ran out before he reached an answer.

396.

Perhaps he had once again foreseen the right path to a new understanding of Nature. And maybe he was wrong about Hubble.

One could go on with further examples of self-similarity such as lightning bolts, designs on shells, aggregation of bacteria or metal ions, surfaces of cancer cells, crystallization patterns in agate, scores of scaling laws in biology, quantum particle paths, gamma-ray burst fluctuations, species distributions or abundances, drop formation, renormalization in quantum electrodynamics, and so on.

But alas, our lattes are drained and our brains are overflowing with nearly 80 examples of self-similarity, so we decide it’s time to adjourn this session. No doubt we will have many opportunities in the future to add to our collection because, beyond any reasonable doubt, Nature adores self-similarity.

HE: Can’t it be done fixed ?

BOOLE: No way, no how. Even Oswald needed a scope and that was the key.

HE: I suppose you are right.

BOOLE: A telescopic sight, commonly called a scope, is a device used to give additional accuracy using a point of aim for weapons such as firearms, airguns, and crossbows. Other sighting systems are iron sights, red dot sights, and laser sights.

Telescopic sights are classified in terms of the optical magnification and the objective lens diameter, e.g. 10×50. This would denote 10 times magnification with a 50mm objective lens. In general terms, larger objective lens diameters are better (collect more light and give a wider field of view), the magnification power should be chosen on the basis of the intended use. There are also adjustable objectives sights where the magnification can be changed by manually turning one part; the syntax is the following: minimal magnification — maximum magnification × objective lens, for example, 3–9×40.

Telescopic sights come with a variety of different reticles, ranging from the traditional crosshairs to complex reticles designed to allow the shooter to estimate accurately the range to a target, to compensate for the bullet drop, and to compensate for the windage required due to crosswinds. A user can estimate the range to objects of known size, the size of objects at known distances, and even roughly compensate for both bullet drop and wind drifts at known ranges with a reticle-equipped scope.

Wire reticles are the oldest type of reticles and are made out of metal wire. They are mounted on an optically appropriately position in the telescopic sights tube. Etched reticles are images of the desired reticle layout that are etched on an optic element.

398.

This optical element (lens) with the etched reticle is then mounted in the telescopic sights tube as an integrated part of the optics chain of the sight. When backlit through the ocular a wire reticle will reflect incoming light and not present a nice black contrasty reticle.

An etched reticle will stay black if backlit. Etched reticles are considered to be a more refined solution and offer greater reticle layout flexibility. Because of this, some manufacturers can provide client designed custom reticles on special order. In the more expensive and high-end contemporary telescopic sights etched reticles dominate the market. In cheaper telescopic sights wire reticles are still often mounted to avoid a rather specialized and costly production step.

Mil-dot reticle. If the helmeted head of a man (˜ 0.25 m tall) fits between the fourth bar and the horizontal line, the man is at approximately 100 meters distance. When the upper part of the body of a man (˜ 1 m tall) fits under the first line, he stands at approximately 400 meters distance.

Users of the metric system are better off with a Mil-dot reticle since they do not have to hassle with the unnecessary complications of a non metric system of measurement during mental calculations. Also the Mil-dot measurements and ranging calculations are always exact in the metric system.

A trained user can pretty accurately measure the range to objects of known size, the size of objects at known distances, and compensate for both bullet drop and wind drifts at known ranges with a Mil-dot reticle-equipped scope.

The reticle may be located at the front or rear focal plane (First Focal Plane (FFP) or Second Focal Plane (SFP)) of the telescopic sight. On fixed power telescopic sights there is no significant difference, but on variable power telescopic sights, the front plane reticle remains at a constant size compared to the target, while rear plane reticles remain a constant size to the user as the target image grows and shrinks.

399.

Front focal plane reticles are slightly more durable, but most American users prefer that the reticle remains constant as the image changes size, so nearly all modern variable power telescopic sights are rear focal plane designs.

Variable power telescopic sights with front focal plane reticles have no problems with point of impact shifts. The American high- end telescopic sight manufacturer, U.S. Optics Inc., also offers variable magnification military grade telescopic sight models with rear focal plane mounted reticles.

HE: Here is the kicker, right, Boole ?

BOOLE: Either type of reticle can be illuminated for use in low light conditions. With any illuminated reticle, it is essential that its brightness can be adjusted. A reticle that is too bright will cause glare in the operator’s eye, interfering with his ability to see in low-light conditions. This is because the pupil of the human eye closes quickly upon receiving any source of light. Most illuminated reticles provide adjustable brightness settings to adjust the reticle precisely to the ambient light.

Illumination is usually provided by a battery powered LED, though other electric light sources can be used. The light is projected forward through the scope and reflects off the back surface of the reticle. Red is the most common colour used, as it least impedes the shooter's night vision.

Radioactive isotopes can also be used as a light source, to provide an illuminated reticule for low-light condition aiming. In sights like the SUSAT or Elcan C79 tritium-illuminated reticles are used for low-light condition aiming. Trijicon Corporation uses tritium in their combat and hunting-grade firearm optics, including the ACOG. The (radioactive) tritium light source has to be replaced every 8-12 years since it gradually loses its brightness due to radioactive decay.

Parallax compensation: Parallax problems result from the image from the objective not being coincident with the reticle.

400.

If the image is not coplanar with the reticle (that is the image of the objective is either in front of or behind the reticle), then putting your eye at different points behind the ocular causes the reticle crosshairs to appear to be at different points on the target. This optical effect causes parallax induced aiming errors that can make a telescopic sight user miss a small target at a distance where the telescopic sight was not parallax adjusted for.

To eliminate parallax induced aiming errors, telescopic sights can be equipped with a parallax compensation mechanism which basically consists of a movable optical element that enables the optical system to project the picture of objects at varying distances and the reticle crosshairs pictures together in exactly the same optical plane. There are two main methods to achieve this.

By making the objective lens of the telescopic sight adjustable so the telescopic sight can compensate parallax errors. These models are often called AO or A/O models, for adjustable objective.

By making an internal lens in the internal optical groups mounted somewhere in front of the reticle plain adjustable so the telescopic sight can compensate parallax errors. This method is technically more complicated to build, but generally more liked by parallax adjustable telescopic sight users—unlike AO models, which are read from the top, the sidewheel's setting can be read with minimal movement of the head. These models are often called side focus or sidewheel models.

Most telescopic sights lack parallax compensation because they can perform acceptably without this refinement. Telescopic sights manufacturers adjust these scopes at a distance that best suits their intended usage. Typical standard factory parallax adjustment distances for hunting telescopic sights are 100 yd or 100 m to make them suited for hunting shots that rarely exceed 300 yd/m. Some target and military style telescopic sights without parallax compensation may be adjusted to be parallax free at ranges up to 300 yd/m to make them better suited for aiming at longer ranges. Scopes for rimfires, shotguns, and muzzleloaders will have shorter parallax settings, commonly 50 yd/m for rimfire scopes and 100 yd/m for shotguns and muzzleloaders. Scopes for airguns are very often found with adjustable parallax, usually in the from of an adjustable objective, or AO. These may adjust down as far as 7.5 yards.

401.

The reason why scopes intended for short range use are often equipped with parallax compensation is that at short range (and at high magnification) parallax errors become much more explicit. To explain this we have to go a bit into optics.

A typical scope objective has a focal length of 100mm. An optical ideal 10x scope in this example has been perfectly parallax corrected at 1000 m and functions flawlessly at that distance. If the same scope is used at 100 m the target-picture would be projected (1000 m / 100 m) / 100mm = 0.1mm behind the reticle plain. Now the scopes magnification kicks in. At 10x magnification the error would be 10 * 0.1mm = 1mm at the ocular. If the same scope was used at 10 m the target-picture would be (1000 m / 10 m) / 100mm = 1mm projected behind the reticle plain. When 10x magnified the error would be 10mm at the ocular.

Bullet Drop Compensation: Bullet Drop Compensation (BDC) is a feature available on some rifle scopes (sometimes referred to as ballistic elevation).

The feature compensates for the effect of gravity on the bullet at given distances (referred to as "bullet drop"). The feature must be tuned for the particular ballistic trajectory of a particular combination of rifle and cartridge at a predefined air density.

Inevitable BDC induced errors will occur if the environmental and meteorological circumstances deviate from the circumstances the BDC was calibrated for. Marksmen can be trained to compensate for these errors.

Remember, a telescopic sight can have several adjustment controls. 1. Focusing control at the ocular end of the sight - meant to obtain a sharp picture of the object and reticle. 2. Elevation or vertical adjustment control of the reticle. 3. Windage or horizontal adjustment control of the reticle. 4. Magnification control - meant to change the magnification by turning a ring that is generally marked with several magnification power levels. 5. Illumination adjustment control of the reticule - meant to regulate the brightness level of the lit parts of the reticles crosshairs. 6. Parallax compensation control: Most contemporary telescopic

402. sights offer the first three adjustment controls. The other three are found on telescopic sights that offer a variable magnification, an illuminated reticle and/or parallax compensation.

A rather common problem with the elevation and windage adjustment controls is that once smooth working adjustment turrets ‘get stuck’ over the years. This is generally caused by long time lack of movement in the lubricated turret mechanisms.

Older telescopic sights often did not offer windage and elevation adjustments in the scope, but rather used adjustable mounts to provide adjustment. Some modern mounts also allow for adjustment, but it is generally intended to supplement the scope adjustments.

For example, some situations require fairly extreme elevation adjustments, such as very short range shooting common with airguns, or very long range shooting, where the bullet drop becomes very significant.

In this case, rather than adjusting the scope to the extremes of its elevation adjustment, the scope mount can be adjusted. This allows the scope to operate near the center of its adjustment range.

Some companies offer adjustable bases, while others offer bases with a given amount of elevation built in. The adjustable bases are more flexible, but the fixed bases are more durable, as adjustable bases may loosen and shift under recoil.

Typical accessories for telescopic sights are:

1. Lens hoods for mounting on the objective and/or ocular to reduce/eliminate image quality impairing stray light. 2. Lens hoods that extend the full length of a gun barrel to improve image quality by blocking out shot-strings induced mirage. 3. Kill Flash filters to eliminate light reflections from the objective that could compromise a sniper. 4. Eye safe laser filters to protect operators against being wounded/blinded by laser light sources.

In 1997 Swarovski introduced the LRS series telescopic sight, the first riflescope on the civilian market with an integrated laser rangefinder.

403.

The Swarovski LRS 2-12x50 can measure ranges up to 600 m (660 yd). Around 2006 Zeiss also introduced a telescopic sight in their sports optics range with an integrated laser rangefinder. This Victory Diarange scopes can measure ranges from 10 m (10.9 yd) up to 999 m (1092.5 yd). Zeiss also offers in its defence optics range the 6-24x72 SAM telescopic sight. The SAM (Shooter- supporting Attachment Module) module measures and provides aiming and ballistic relevant data and displays this to the user in the ocular. ELCAN produces the DigitalHunter Digital Rifle Scope series that combines CCD and LCD technology with electronic ballistics compensation, automatic video capture, 4 field selectable reticles and customizable reticles.

Mounting

As very few firearms come with built-in telescopic sights (military bullpup designs such as the Steyr AUG being the primary exception) mounting a scope to a firearm requires additional equipment. Equipment is available to mount scopes on most production firearms. A typical scope mounting system consists of two parts, the scope base, and the scope rings. By picking the appropriate combination of scope base to fit the firearm and scope rings to fit the scope, a wide range of scopes may be mounted to most firearms. With the appropriate combination of adjustable scope bases and scope rings, it is also possible to mount several telescopic sights on the same gun to make the gun more versatile. However, it is important to take into consideration whether or not a gun is particularly hard to mount. If it is or if a gun is intended for long-range shooting, it could be that the amount of vertical adjustment range is smaller than required. This can be solved with the help of a vertically canted base or canted rings. Typical cant angles offered by mounting components manufacturers are 20 and 30 MOA. It is always wise to buy telescopic sights that provide a decent adjustment range, preferably at least 60 MOA or more.

The base is attached to the rifle, usually with screws, and is often designed to have a low profile and to allow the use of the iron sights if the scope is not present. Some manufacturers provide integral bases on many of their firearms; an example of such a firearm is the Ruger Super Redhawk revolver.

404.

The most commonly encountered mounting systems are the 3/8 inch (9.5mm) and the 11mm dovetail mounts (sometimes called tip-off mounts), commonly found on rimfires and air guns, the Weaver type base and the STANAG 2324 (MIL-STD-1913 "Picatinny rail") base. Ruger uses a proprietary scope base system, though adapters are available to convert the Ruger bases into Weaver type bases. Scope base and mounting systems are also manufactured in Europe. Specialized manufacturers like Ernst Apel GmbH offer an elaborate program of mounting solutions for lots of different guns. Some of the European mounting solutions are virtually unknown and hence rarely applied in America. Many European gun manufacturers also developed and offer proprietary scope base systems for their guns.

In addition to needing the right type of connector to attach to the desired base, scope rings must be used to hold the scope to the mount. The rings must be of the proper size to fit the scope; common sizes are 3/4 inch (19.05mm), 22mm, 1 inch (25.4mm), 26mm, 30mm, and 34mm.

Red dot sights commonly are found in larger sizes, such as 40mm, and these often use ringless mounting systems designed to fit dovetail or Weaver type bases. Rings are also available in a variety of heights and materials. Ring height is chosen to place the scope high enough to clear the firearm, and at a height comfortable for the shooter.

Scopes for use on light recoiling firearms, such as rimfire guns, can be mounted with a single ring, and this method is not uncommon on handguns, where space is at a premium. Most scopes are mounted with two rings, one in the front half of the scope and one on the back half, which provides additional strength and support.

The heaviest recoiling firearms, such as Thompson Center Arms Contender pistols in heavy recoiling calibers, will use three rings for maximum support of the scope. Use of too few rings can result not only in the scope moving under recoil but also excessive torque on the scope tube as the gun rolls up under recoil.

405.

Scopes on heavy recoiling firearms and spring piston airguns (which have a heavy "reverse recoil" caused by the piston reaching the end of its travel) suffer from a condition called scope creep, where the inertia of the scope holds it still as the firearm recoils under it.

Because of this, scope rings must be precisely fitted to the scope and tightened very consistently to provide maximum hold without putting uneven stress on the body of the scope. Rings that are out of round, misaligned in the bases, or tightened unevenly can warp or crush the body of the scope.

Another problem is mounting a scope on a rifles, such as some lever action designs, where the shell is ejected out the top of the rifle. Usually, this results in the scope being offset to one side (to the left for right-handed people, right for left-handed) to allow the shell to clear the scope. Alternately a scout rifle type mount can be used, which places a long eye relief scope forward of the action.

Telescopic sights have both advantages and disadvantages relative to iron sights. Standard doctrine with iron sights is to focus the eye on the front sight and align it with the resulting blur of the target and the rear sight; most shooters have difficulty doing this, as the eye tends to be drawn to the target, blurring both sights.

Gun users over 30 years of age with keen eyesight will find it harder to keep the target, front sight element and rear sight element well enough into focus for aiming purposes as human eyes gradually lose focussing flexibility with rising age.

Telescopic sights allow the user to focus on both the crosshair and the target at the same time, as the lenses project the crosshair into the distance (50 m or yd for rimfire scopes, 100 m or yd more for centerfire calibers).

This, combined with telescopic magnification, clarifies the target and makes the target stand out against the background. The main disadvantage of magnification is that the area to either side of the target is obscured by the tube of the sight. The higher the magnification, the narrower the field of view in the sight, and the more area that is hidden.

406.

Rapid fire target shooters use red dot sights, which have no magnification; this gives them the best field of view while maintaining the single focal plane of a telescopic sight.

Telescopic sights are expensive and require additional training to align. Sight alignment with telescopic sights is a matter of making the field of vision circular to minimize parallax error.

The market for military telescopic sights intended for military long-range shooting is highly competitive. Several high-end optics manufacturers are constantly adapting and improving their telescopic sights to fulfill specific demands of military organizations.

Two European companies that are active this field are Schmidt & Bender and Zeiss. American companies that are also very active in this field are Nightforce and U.S. Optics Inc. These high-end sighting components generally cost € 1500 / $ 2000 or more.

Typical options for military telescopic sights are reticle illumination for use under adverse light circumstances and the presentation of scope settings or ballistic relevant environmental measurements data to the operator through the sights ocular. Military organizations also are a main driving force behind the development of ever more versatile mil-dot reticles, like the Generation II mil-dot reticle from Premier Reticles the US Marine Corps specified for their 7000 USMC M8541 Premier/Schmidt & Bender 3-12x50 PM II LP telescopic sights. Other range finding reticle variations like Schmidt & Bender's P4-fine reticule, which uses mil-hash marks instead of mil-dots for ranging purposes, also were developed on request of active snipers and other long-range field shooters.

I.O.R. LPS 4x6° TIP2 reticle, the bottom-left corner can be used to determine the distance from a 170cm tall human.

The former Warsaw Pact members produce military telescopic sights for their designated marksmen and developed a range finding reticle based on the height of an average human. The reticle used in the Romanian I.O.R. LPS 4x6° TIP2 4x24 rifle scope is calibrated for ranging a 1.7 m tall target from 200 m to 1000 m. This Romanian scope shares the basic design and stadiametric rangefinder found in the reticle of the original Russian PSO-1 and POSP scope series.

407.

The target base has to be lined up on the horizontal line of the range-finding scale and the target top point has to touch the upper (dotted) line of the scale without clearance. The digit under which this line up occurs determines the distance to the target.

BOOLE: Redfish tackle runs the gambit from the lightest of fly rods with the lightest of tippets up to 12-foot surf rods bound with hundreds of yards of 50 pound-plus test.

You don't outgun yourself with the tackle, this he knew, since the redfish is not the brightest or sneakiest, like the terrible snook.

A snook sucks for a novice, that bastard will climb the Eiffel Tower to escape being landed. And, like the redfish, it also heads for flats and tends to be in shallows and around the islands and canals.

Large tackle, some say, ruins the finer sense of control when landing the prized redfish. After all, it's not a Blue Marlin, so don't spend millions betting on the Calcutta.

Many think the preferred rod and reel for catching the mighty red is the fly rod.

Has anyone ever tried to fly fish ? Locals consider fly-fishers as about as useless as a diet crouton in a Tampax factory; just one Lilith Fair shy of serious show-tune singing.

Doesn't matter your money, doesn't matter your religion, doesn't matter your social status; if you try to fly fish, you will pimp slap, and bull whip yourself to the degree that you'll look like a relief map of the Appalachian mountain range. Count on sore ears and neck scares galore.

Of course, fly fishermen would rather die than use live bait, it's not traditional or purest.

Ibidem, show tunes. Like fucking golf. What a waste of land and

408. time.

Saltwater tackle is so varied it actually is confusing: spoons, plugs, jigs, lures, swivels, leaders, weights, and hooks.

Live bait takes a marine biology degree: minnows, shiners, greenbacks, bluebacks, pinfish, mullet, crabs, as well as scent attractants.

There is yet another quandary.

Open faced spinning gear -- i.e., the rod and reel -- are the most widely used, and respected, and allows the bait or lures to dictate the effectiveness of the rod and reel. Lines are abundant and quality monofilament is the line of choice.

Of course, leaders, and knowing how to tie proper knots, are equally confusing matters. Cap'n Queeg said leaders are most necessary in red fishing, and just require -- guess what ? -- new expensive leader line.

Then there are those knots: blood knots, nail knots, cinch knot, improved cinch knots, or uni knot. Find an easy one and use it for everything, even sex -- don’t forget, the Lark's Head knot works on a leader too.

BOOLE: There is no consensus on exactly where the Amish fit within Christianity:

Some consider them conservative Protestants. Most Amish would probably consider themselves to be Anabaptists. J Gordon Melton, head of the Institute for the Study of American Religion, classifies them as part of the European Free-Church Family along with Mennonites, Brethren Quakers, and other denominations.

As mentioned earlier, the Amish movement was founded in Europe by Jacob Amman (~1644 to ~1720 CE), from whom their name is derived.

HE: Boole, what did I say about BCE, AC, and CE ? Not again.

BOOLE: In many ways, it started as a reform group within the Mennonite movement - an attempt to restore some of the early practices of the Mennonites.

As written before, the beliefs and practices of the Amish were based on the writings of the founder of the Mennonite faith, Menno Simons (1496-1561), and on the 1632 Mennonite Dordrecht Confession of Faith.

The Amish who split from Mennonites generally lived in Switzerland and in the southern Rhine river region. During the late 17th century, they separated because of what they perceived as a lack of discipline among the Mennonites.

Some Amish migrated to the United States, starting in the early 18th century. They initially settled in Pennsylvania. Other waves of immigrants became established in New York, Illinois, Indiana, Iowa, Missouri Ohio, and other states.

411.

The faith group has attempted to preserve the elements of late 17th-century European rural culture. They try to avoid many of the features of modern society, by developing practices and behaviors which isolate themselves from American culture.

James Hoorman writes about the current status of the Amish movement:

“In America, the Amish hold major doctrines in common, but as the years went by, their practices differed. Today, there are a number of different groups of Amish with the majority affiliated with four orders: Swartzengruber, Old Order, Andy Weaver, and New Order Amish. Old Order Amish are the most common. All the groups operate independently from each other with variations in how they practice their religion and religion dictates how they conduct their daily lives. The Swartzengruber Amish are the most conservative followed by the Old Order Amish. The Andy Weaver are more progressive and the New Order Amish are the most progressive."

Membership in the Old Order Amish Mennonite Church and other Amish denominations is not freely available. They may total about 180,000 adults spread across 22 states, including about 45,000 in Ohio and smaller numbers in Illinois, Indiana, Pennsylvania, New York, etc. About 1,500 live in south-western Ontario, in Canada.

BOOLE: Here is the aforementioned article on Elvis, the Eatery: KING SIZE APPETITE

412.

AP: N.Y. Post: Jennifer Weisbord

If you want to impersonate Elvis this week to mark the 25th anniversary of his crossing into rock heaven, better loosen your belt. The King had a king-size appetite.

Elvis' love for mass quantities of stick-to-your-ribs Southern food is as legendary as his talent. A documentary on his eating habits tallied his daily intake at 100,000 calories at its peak. That's more, one paper noted, than an Asian elephant consumes in a day.

"Mashed potatoes, French fries, lots of biscuits, bacon, and eggs - he was a good eater," Pauline Nicholson, Elvis' cook from 1964 until his death, told The Post in a 1997 interview.

Why has there never been an Elvis sighting at Le Bernardin ? They say he didn't like fish.

Instead, comfort food was his thing - meat loaf, pork chops or fried chicken and mashed potatoes and gravy you'd find at Bubby's in Tribeca or Harlem's Amy Ruth's. He apparently wasn't one for restaurants, either, preferring to chow down at home in bed -- though there is the story of the Denver eatery where Elvis flew with friends by private jet for its specialty: Fool's Gold Loaves.

The restaurant has since been shuttered, but you can re-create its 42,000 calorie sandwich-for-one from a hollowed-out loaf of oven- toasted bread filled with one large jar each of grape jelly and Skippy peanut butter plus a pound of bacon.

Elvis loved bacon so much, he was said to have kept a bowl of crispy pieces on his piano for munching purposes.

Any breakfast-all-day diner can supply you with one of his favorite 5:00 p.m. rising noshes --- a pound of bacon, six fried eggs, half a pound of sausages and a dozen biscuits.

He'd also go for Papaya King's hot dogs with sauerkraut - and a dozen Krispy Kreme doughnuts. Don't forget to save room for dessert, especially banana pudding or brownies, which cook Nicholson said she made "for Mr. P." every day.

413.

In honor of Memphis' favorite son, Sweet Mama's in Williamsburg, Brooklyn, will whip up a menu of Coca Cola-baked ham, chicken- fried steak, fried green tomatoes and fried dill pickles Friday (Aug. 16, the date of his passing) Just for the day, chef-owner Terrie Mangrum is adding Elvis' favorites to her regular down-home fare: his signature grilled peanut butter and banana sandwich, ham- bone dumplings, and baked apple and sweet potato pies. A blues, gospel and soul tribute will be performed by the Rev. Vince Anderson and his Love Choir.

The King's beloved peanut butter and banana sandwich is also a menu staple of Peanut Butter & Co. on Sullivan Street in Greenwich Village - only here honey is added, and, if you wish, bacon.

And on Friday, the Comfort Diner is serving a milkshake version of the classic sandwich. The Elvis is all shook up with vanilla ice cream, banana, and peanut butter - "Smooth for the young Elvis, chunky for the older Elvis," adds owner Ira Freehof. The diner has two East Side locations.

INSIDE HIS FRIDGE

Here is some of what had to be kept in stock at Graceland "at all times," according to "The Life and Cuisine of Elvis Presley" by David Adler: thin, lean bacon, Wieners, Pepsi (one case), Orange drinks (one case) Biscuits (at least six cans), Sauerkraut, Pickles, Peanut butter, Banana pudding, Brownies, Vanilla and chocolate ice cream, Shredded coconuts, Fudge cookies.

THE ORB (laughs): For the love of all that's holy, where did the Orca have room for the Quaaludes, Valium, Halcyon, Xanax, Bennies, Seconal, and Percodans ?

NARRATOR: Janet stuffs a biscuit Shaquille O'Neal couldn't palm in her mouth. Flakes fly like roof tiles off the edges and form a mound on the table.

HE: Third World nations could subsist on the fodder that falls freely from her fiercely flapping lips.

NARRATOR: He is feeling the pussy juice shooters more than ever now as Janet jokes about what her father said about his going back to work at the bank.

THE ORB: She is controlling him and all he could do was take it.

JANET (winks as she chomps and mumbles): Tell me you love me.

THE ORB: So, wildebeests can mate while they eat.

HE (to himself): She says I never tell her I love her. Even wrote it on a Christmas card just last year. What do women want men to do, say it every fucking day ? And all this because of me signing love notes, “Deeply enthralled with your persona.”

BOOLE: Next time sign it, “I see dead people.”

THE ORB (smiles): What nerve she has.

NARRATOR: Janet snatches a fried brontosaurus leg and a frisbee- sized veal cutlet, grabs the salt-lick, and literally tears open the slatted spout.

THE ORB: She's heaping the salt on in a manner comparable to a Donner Party blizzard.

NARRATOR: Cascades of salt flakes pile upon the now manhole-cover- sized veal.

HE (to The Orb): You could make snow angels in the salt atop that poor beast.

NARRATOR: Still salting the color off her dinosaur leg, she hits him first.

JANET (mouth again stuffed): So, how will you like working for Daddy ? It is so nice of him to take you in.

HE: A laugh in the face of death, rock ‘em/sock ‘em, thrill a minute.

415.

JANET: Well, you've got a family in the future. Responsibility, honey, responsibility.

THE ORB: Slavery, puss-print breath. You have to be the most limped wristed, hind tit sucking, sissy it has ever been my displeasure to know. Are you wearing a Depends ? Stand up for yourself.

HE: Thank you for all that support.

NARRATOR: The Orb peers above Janet’s rising feast of fodder.

THE ORB: One could toboggan off the salted side of that cutlet. Looks like the Zugspitze in winter. Lord, she is inhaling it. In preparation probably, to devour a palette-cleansing Louisville Slugger-sized eclair. Look, you can see her rotund rump getting fatter.

HE: Yea, she'll end up having us live in Mass Hypnotist hell, or in The Village of Idiots, especially if her ass gets any fatter.

JANET (with half a country fried steak sticking from her mouth): You do like working for my father ?

HE (meekly): Yes, I just want to, you know, do those other things.

JANET (in a gravy-gulping muffle): Don't you love me ? You can do all that: write, finish your doctorate, become a PMS, and raise a family ?

HE (to himself): E M T. Just afraid to take a chance. Fear happens when you lease your ideals to concepts that are no longer applicable to pure rationality needed to overcome the dreaded illness of normalcy.

THE ORB: You want some khat there, Confucius ?

JANET: Daddy says you are just a weakling, a Milquetoast and that you need to be prodded. Honey, successful actors, writers, teachers, well, they are few and far between.

416.

They also have outgoing personalities, are highly intelligent, and not introverted like you.

THE ORB: Make that a double stick of Qat.

HE (to himself): No, but you know what frightens the most ?

THE ORB: What ? Crips, Bloods, La Raza, al-Qaeda, Chicago pols ?

HE: Soccer moms like Janet will become. Their SUV's are like a Panzer column in the Battle of the Bulge.

THE ORB: Or, American tanks in any city. [Imitating Monty Python and The Holy Grail.] Run away, run away !

NARRATOR: He secretly grabs a big stick of the khat, chomps and sucks it in, and heads off to Never-Never Land as Janet continues to chow down on a hindquarter while doing her best chatty Cathy imitation.

BOOLE: For all the historical personalities involved in the evolution of cryptography, it is William Frederick Friedman, founder of Riverbank Laboratories, cryptanalyst for the US government, and lead code-breaker of Japan's World War II Purple Machine, who is "honored as the father of US cryptanalysis".

In 1918 Friedman authored "The Index of Coincidence and Its Applications in Cryptography," which is still considered by many in this field as the premiere work on cryptography written in the 20th century.

During the late 1920s and into the early 1930s, the US Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) established an office designed to deal with the increasing use of cryptography by criminals.

At that time the criminal threat involved the importation of liquor. According to a report written in the mid-1930s by Mrs.

417.

Elizabeth Friedman, a cryptanalyst employed by the US government like her husband, William F. Friedman, the cryptography employed by bootleggers “are of a complexity never even attempted by any government for its most secret communications. At no time during the World War, when secret methods of communication reached their highest development, were there used such involved ramifications as are to be found in some of the correspondence of West Coast rum running vessels.”

Although cryptography was employed during World War I, two of the more notable machines were employed during World War II: the Germans' Enigma machine, developed by Arthur Scherbius, and the Japanese Purple Machine, developed using techniques first discovered by Herbert O. Yardley.

HE: God, I’d feel silly doing that stupid shit in front of the police station.

BOOLE: When moving, the urban sniper should always remember the following rules: always assume the area is under enemy observation, and move slowly.

Also:

1) A sniper counts his movement progress by feet and inches. 2) Do not cause overhead movement of trees, bushes, or tall grasses by rubbing against them. 3) Plan every movement and move in segments of the route at a time. 4) Lastly, stop, look, and listen often.

Move during disturbances such as gunfire, explosions, aircraft noise, the wind, media trucks, speeches, or anything that will distract the enemy’s attention or conceal the urban sniper’s movement.

Once in the nest, the individual movement techniques used by the urban sniper are designed to allow movement without being

418. detected.

These movement techniques are sniper low crawl, medium crawl, high crawl, hand-and-knees crawl, and walking.

1. The sniper low crawl is used when concealment is extremely limited, when close to the enemy, or when occupying a firing position. 2. The medium crawl is used when concealment is limited and the team needs to move faster than the sniper low crawl allows. The medium crawl is similar to the infantryman’s low crawl. 3. The high crawl is used when concealment is limited but high enough, like a window sill, to allow the sniper to raise his body off the ground. The high crawl is similar to the infantry high crawl. 4. The hand-and-knees crawl is used when some concealment is available and the sniper team needs to move faster than the medium crawl.

Finally, walking is only used when there is good concealment, it is not likely the enemy is close, and speed is required.

An urban sniper cannot afford detection by the enemy nor can he successfully fight the enemy in sustained engagements. When selecting escape routes, the urban sniper must remember his strengths and weaknesses.

The following guidelines should be used when selecting in planning an urban sniper’s egress:

1. Avoid known enemy positions and obstacles. 2. Seek walkways and terrain that offers the best cover and concealment; avoid difficult terrain (swamps, dense woods, and so forth). 3. Use roads or footpaths. 4. Blend into built-up or populated areas. 5. Avoid areas of heavy enemy activity.

When the urban sniper hits his target here are the immediate actions:

1) Move right after the shot. 2) Use wet naps to wash the powder smell off you.

419.

3) Hide the casing. 4) Break down the weapon and hide the parts back in the crutches. 5) Always assume the area is under enemy observation.

Because of this and the small amount of firepower he has, the urban sniper must never become decisively engaged with the enemy.

He must rehearse immediate action drills to the extent that they become a natural and immediate reaction should it make unexpected visual contact with the enemy.

If the sniper sees the enemy and the enemy does not see him in the nest, he freezes, assumes the best covered and concealed position, and remains in position until the enemy has passed.

The sniper should have m-80s and smoke bombs to lob in order to divert the enemies attention after the shot, then proceed the opposite direction.

Unlike Oswald, you generally don't leave the weapon and spent casings where you work and go have lunch as if nothing is happening. That’s irretrievably stupid.

You would field strip the weapon and hide the parts in a well- disguised hole in the wall, wash the powder residue off you, and exit immediately to blend into the crowd.

BOOLE: Once a tropical cyclone achieves tropical storm status -- winds of at least 39 miles per hour -- a name is assigned to it, and it retains that name even if downgraded.

The rules used of naming tropical storms have changed over the years, and many stories abound how these naming customs began. For several hundred years the most devastating hurricanes were given Spanish names for the particular saint's day on or near the date on which the hurricane appeared.

The next rules change apparently came from a Weather Bureau agent in Australia, who, seemingly drunk-silly on Foster’s lager, defined convention used between the years of 1887 and 1902.

420.

He simply made up names as it pleased him. He even named especially destructive storms after certain politician he personally disliked.

Today, he no doubt would have used Mass Hypnotist , and progressive Red Terrorist names annually.

This naming convention died with its inventor.

Following the drunken liberal's death, naming was strictly descriptive or based on latitude and longitude until WWII, when naming was again revived.

One urban legend has it that it was revived by a lone radio operator in WWII who sang "Every little breeze seems to whisper Louise" when issuing a coded message about an approaching hurricane.

Other versions include WWII pilots naming them for their wives and sweethearts or a character from a 1941 novel by George Stewart titled "Storm" who applied female names to storms.

In 1950, phonetic-alphabet naming was employed, usually with two syllables that could be easily understood and discerned should two storms be active at one time, and by 1953 the female names merged with the phonetic alphabet and became the official was to name storms.

By 1960, four sets of names were created, and reused every four years, until 1971, when the list was expanded to ten sets of names.

In 1988, a semipermanent list of names was established and is repeated every six years with the names of major hurricanes that make landfall retired.

HE: How many have been named after Mass Hypnotists and progressive Red Terrorists ?

THE ORB: Nowadays they manufacture holidays, graphics and statues.

BOOLE: The interesting thing about hurricanes, relative to earthquakes, is that the national weather service, armed with Doppler radar, satellites, NOAA buoys, and aircraft, can predict a hurricane's arrival some days ahead. This affords the general populous adequate time to get the heck out of there for any hurricane greater than a category one.

Category one hurricanes can be ridden out pretty safely in most abodes. The chance that tropical storms can upgrade to category one, two, or above is slim, but that's the gamble.

You see, for those smart enough to leave town or go to the appropriate shelters for any hurricane greater than a category one, they survive.

For anyone stupid enough to actually ride it out in a mobile home, low lying are, near a levee, in an RV; or worse, throw a hurricane party, well, then the hurricane acts as a post hoc abortion that thins out the herd of those with defective genes.

BOOLE: Here is the fundamental problem of knowledge that all people face: you don't know what you don't know.

HE: Flip Wilson lives !

The key to misleading people about a given belief, by Mass Hypnotists , is to control the flow of observational data that is relevant to that belief.

To promote a given belief, screen out any observational data that

423. contradicts that belief, and, at the same time, present only observational data that supports that belief. If the belief is false, then fabricate, distort, or misrepresent observational data, as needed.

As long as a person is only aware of observational data that supports the belief, then that person's mind, by means of its analytic abilities, will find that belief supported and reasonable.

Regarding the Big-Bang belief, is any relevant observational data being withheld from the public ?

The answer is an emphatic “yes !”

The authority on this subject is Halton Arp (born 1927), who has been a professional astronomer since receiving his Ph.D. in 1953. He was a staff member at Mt. Palomar observatory, California USA, for 29 years, and, since 1983, a staff member at the Max Planck Institute for Physics and Astrophysics, in Germany.

Halton Arp has a long career as an observational astronomer, and he has a substantial bibliography including many peer-reviewed journal articles. His views of the universe and the Big Bang are neatly summarized as follows: his cosmos is a steady-state universe, with no Big Bang and no expansion, and with the intermittent creation of new matter.

The basic cosmological unit is composed of an old parent galaxy of low redshift, accompanied by smaller and younger companions with redshift excesses, and surrounded by newly-created quasars of high redshift. Both companions and quasars have been ejected by the parent galaxy.

Astronomy's symbol for redshift is the letter z. A concise explanation of redshift is: `Redshift' describes the characteristic lines in the spectrum due to hydrogen, calcium, and other elements which appear at longer (redder) wavelengths than in a terrestrial laboratory. The simple explanation attributes this effect to the recession velocity of the emitting source — like the falling pitch of a receding train whistle, the Doppler effect.

In Halton Arp's view, the measured redshifts of objects that are

424. outside our own galaxy have two components:

First, the redshift component that is already understood by everyone. But is that caused by the object's velocity-vector relative to the Earth ? If the object is moving relative to the Earth, and the distance between that object and the Earth is decreasing, then the observed redshift of that object is decreased.

Second, and conversely, if the distance between that object and the Earth is increasing, then the observed redshift of that object is increased.

The redshift component that is not currently understood as to its underlying mechanism, is that caused, in effect, by the age of the outside-our-galaxy object, whose redshift is being measured. In general, for this component of redshift, younger objects have higher redshifts.

HE: There are two things I hate, MC: flying and Los Angeles. Why would I fly to Los Angeles ? Besides, every time I saw a Mexican, Moslem or Negro on the plane I’d be calling for the Air Marshall.

CANARD: Drive out and live in Orange County.

NARRATOR: The hotties seem to be extremely thirsty and begin to lick each other. He gets the message.

HE: Listen, I gotta go, It’s time to deliver the Meals On Wheels. I'll call you later to discuss this. By the way, get something for me to pitch for in Florida, why don’t you ? Disney is close.

CANARD: We'll try. In the meantime, your contract has been extended six months. We want you going to studios in Orlando for now. And not Epcot. We will submit them for you. And consider moving here soon. How else do you think you can get to a real pitch ? See ya, babe.

BOOLE: Many people see the characters and allegory of The Wizard of Oz a bit differently.

Hugh Rockoff sees the Tin Woodman as the workingman. In the original book by L. Frank Baum, we learn that he was once flesh and blood but was cursed. As he worked, his ax would take flight and cut off part of his body. A tinsmith would replace the missing part, and the Tin Woodman could work as well as before.

Eventually, there was nothing left but tin. But for all his increased power to work, the Tin Woodman is unhappy for he had lost his heart.

For Rockoff, he represents the Populist and Marxist idea of the alienation of the industrial worker. He once was an independent artisan but is now just a cog in a giant machine. He joined the unemployed of the 1890’s, victims of the eastern Gold Bugs (Gold Democrat bankers) who didn’t want to increase the money supply by adding silver.

The Scare Crow is the western farmer, who thinks he has no brain. A major theme of the populist movement was that the people, farmer in particular, were unable to understand the complex theories that underlay the choice of a standard.

The Cowardly Lion, again, is William Jennings Bryan, the wonderful orator but unsuccessful politician, who changed from bimetallist to Gold Standard after becoming the champion of the former.

Examples (according to Rockoff) of what L. Frank Baum writes and what he actually thinks.

BAUM: The party follows the yellow brick road up to the Emerald City

ALLEGORY: They follow the gold standard up to Emerald City, Washington DC.

BAUM: The tin woodman is given "a new ax with a handle made of gold and a blade polished so that it glistens like burnished

427. silver” and “a silver oil can inlaid with gold and precious stones to oil himself.”

ALLEGORY: The bimetallic standard will ensure the industrial worker that he won't be unemployed again.

BAUM: In the Emerald Palace they enter 7 passages and climb 3 flights of stairs.

ALLEGORY: In the White House they see 7 and 3 : 73 (as in Crime of 1873)

BAUM: Dorothy can go back to Kansas by "kicking the heels of her silver shoes together three times".

ALLEGORY: The power to solve her problems (by adding silver to the money stock) was there all the time.

HE: Just ask JFK.

HE: No working on the sabbath. God’s law.

Dulcinea: I'll dance at night, weekends. I figure a couple three years and I will retire and open a small gym. Best part is that the chance of catching any STD, especially AIDS, is reduced to a very low order of probability.

HE: An action plan is always the best way.

THE ORB: Caveat. There is always the chance of electrolysis.

HE: I don't know, baby. Are you happy ?

NARRATOR: His empathy causes her to let her guard down, if only for a minute. Something women such as these never do.

HE: Dulcinea, I am Wilbur Mills, Wayne Hays, Bill Clinton, Gary Hart, and John Kerry in your hands. Take me in the back and show me a good time.

Dulcinea: What about my two friends ?

NARRATOR: He gives Dulcinea, Coastie Amberly, and Kinky Kelly Klinger a $100 each while John Wayne-walking back.

Dulcinea: There are so many stories about our lesbian trysts that I just don't know where to begin. I am a model-slash-stripper, after all.

HE: Now that’s a slashie.

NARRATOR: The walk became an instant near-blue limp.

NARRATOR: The Orb retreats. Dulcinea, Coastie Amberly and Kinky Kelly Klinger lap dance him to death and he gives them another $100 handshake and they him one for good measure.

Another hour later, after Kelly and Amberly depart, he and Dulcinea settle again as he gives her an additional $100 and Dulcinea him another firm handshake. She slowly writes a number down on his now shaky right hand and on a photo she slips into his pocket.

Dulcinea: Here's my work number in LA, call when you get there.

HE: Why not, I've got vacation time accrued. Thanks, D.

Dulcinea: My pleasure. Bye, baby. Don’t forget to call me.

NARRATOR: Dulcinea smiles, drops her top so he can take another peek, walks over and puts her hands on Coastie Amberly and Kinky Kelly Klinger's respective asses and sashays away. He stops and blankly stares.

HE (excited): What an epiphany ! I now understood why the sitcom "Petticoat Junction" was set in Hooterville and the three nubile principals all had the same initials: BJ.

NARRATOR: Writers, like most men, always seek piece, then quiet.

HE (Mutters to himself as he pays his tab): Must have one last bit of fun. A way to grow some guts for the action to come.

THE ORB: And I know just the ticket -- Bobby Milk's.

(THE CURTAIN RISES.)

BOOLE: Many of greatest actors of their respective ages, including Richard Burbage, once told Dorothy at Heinhold's that Bobby Milk would have fit perfectly into the King's Men of James I, or even the Jacobean Theatre with its brooding, somber, moralizing and introspective manner.

BURBAGE: Ben Jonson seemed to have had Milk in mind for “Volpone,” “The Alchemist,” and “Bartholomew Fair.” Marlowe and Kyd were also rumored to have entertained notions of Milk in their productions.

BOOLE: Milk's own aptitude and attitude towards acting were shaped by different skills, knowledge, and abilities than those of Burbage, Kemp, and Alleyn; far, far different.

NARRATOR: Milk later declined to be questioned by Dorothy.

BOOLE: Hurricanes generally move in a path resembling the curve of a parabola. In the northern hemisphere, the storms usually travel first in a northwesterly direction and in the higher latitudes turn to the northeast.

WRITTEN ON SCREEN: "I pray thee, put into yonder port, for I fear a hurricane. Last night the moon had a golden ring. And tonight no moon we see !" - Longfellow, 'The Wreck of the Hesperus'

433.

Since 1943, the U.S. military have been flying into hurricanes to measure wind velocities and direction, the location and size of the eye, the pressures within the storms, and their thermal structure.

A much more coordinated system of hurricane tracking has developed gradually since the mid-1950s and periodic improvements have been made over the years to include Doppler radar, sea-based buoy monitoring devices, five geosynchronous weather satellites at various points along the equator, and other devices now supply data to the National Hurricane Center in Florida, which monitors each and every tropical cyclone, virtually all data from the beginning of the storm's formation and makes predictions and disaster preparation easier than flying into the eye.

The well-formed hurricane's eye is its most distinctive feature. This central portion of the storm varies greatly in size with some only three miles in diameter and others extending to more than 38 miles across, with an average eye of 15 miles. Many people who have been in eyes tell of seeing clear blue sky above them and feeling low wind speeds as low as 15 miles an hour, as the eye passes over. The eye is also where the lowest atmospheric pressure and the highest temperatures occur.

A particular favorite of ornithologists, and not Mass Hypnotists , the eye frequently traps birds, often found clinging in large numbers to the rigging of ships and then blown into the eye, and trapped there as the storm intensifies. As they cannot escape through the violent winds which surround the eye, several new bird species have entered Florida in this manner, including the black anis from Haiti, the honeycreeper and the swallow of the Bahamas, the Cuban cliff swallow, several West Indian doves and pigeons, and most recently the cattle egret from the Antilles.

The real danger of the eye is that the greatest wind speeds of the hurricane are often within or near the eye wall. These winds swirl around the eye, causing the reversal of wind direction that occurs as the eye approaches and travels past an area. The calm eye- fooling many people into letting their guard down and venturing out thinking the storm has passed only to be surprised, injured, or killed as the other side of the eye wall approaches, bringing equal destruction but now blowing from the opposite direction, often against unprepared areas of safety.

NARRATOR: Thunderstorms in southwest Florida are short nuclear bursts that tend to drown any living breathing boater stupid enough to be out in it in small uncovered boats.

Lightning hit Regla Island again and again just after the fish struck. The concussion of the lightning strikes combined with the force of the simulated billfish strike caused him to fall to the port side, still clutching the Zebco 303 firmly in my left hand, and wrapping my right hand over the reel.

Cap'n Queeg had since been thrown over the console.

QUEEG (railing into Nature’s bursts): Why the fuck are you using a cheap Zebco 303 ?

NARRATOR: He let the next lie slip.

HE: Walmart had it on sale.

THE ORB: Oh regrets, like clinging to guns and religion. No wait, that’s his line.

NARRATOR: The last true American spoke.

QUEEG: Asshole. I mean you, you ignorant fool. The reel will fly off the rod of that NAFTA, CAFTA, GATT Chinese piece of crap.

NARRATOR: He felt now was not the time to bring up the fact that Queeg’s motor was a Honda.

BOOLE: Executive Order 11110

AMENDMENT OF EXECUTIVE ORDER NO. 10289 AS AMENDED, RELATING TO THE PERFORMANCE OF CERTAIN FUNCTIONS AFFECTING THE DEPARTMENT OF THE TREASURY

By virtue of the authority vested in me by section 301 of title 3 of the United States Code, it is ordered as follows: SECTION 1. Executive Order No. 10289 of September 19, 1951, as amended, is hereby further amended - (a) By adding at the end of paragraph 1 thereof the following subparagraph (j): "(j) The authority vested in the President by paragraph (b) of section 43 of the Act of May 12, 1933, as amended (31 U.S.C. 821 (b)), to issue silver certificates against any silver bullion, silver, or standard silver dollars in the Treasury not then held for redemption of any outstanding silver certificates, to prescribe the denominations of such silver certificates, and to coin standard silver dollars and subsidiary silver currency for their redemption," and (b) By revoking subparagraphs (b) and (c) of paragraph 2 thereof. SECTION 2. The amendment made by this Order shall not affect any act done, or any right accruing or accrued or any suit or proceeding had or commenced in any civil or criminal cause prior to the date of this Order but all such liabilities shall continue and may be enforced as if said amendments had not been made.

JOHN F. KENNEDY THE WHITE HOUSE, June 4, 1963

Executive Order 11110 is still valid. According to Title 3, United States Code, Section 301 dated January 26, 1998: Executive Order (EO) 10289 dated Sept. 17, 1951, 16 F.R. 9499, was as amended by: EO 10583, dated December 18, 1954, 19 F.R. 8725; EO 10882 dated July 18, 1960, 25 F.R. 6869;

436.

EO 11110 dated June 4, 1963, 28 F.R. 5605; EO 11825 dated December 31, 1974, 40 F.R. 1003; and, EO 12608 dated September 9, 1987, 52 F.R. 34617

The 1974 and 1987 amendments, added after Kennedy's 1963 amendment, did not change or alter any part of Kennedy's EO 11110. A search of Clinton's 1998 and 1999 EO's and Presidential Directives has also shown no reference to any alterations, suspensions, or changes to EO 11110.

NARRATOR: What Bluebeard Queeg didn't know is that he had taken the face off the casting reel, put an O-ring on as a locking washer, changed the line from an 8-pound test to a 20-pound upper class line that cost more that the rod and reel, then added the aforementioned expensive leader line, swivels, weights, 1/0 hooks, et cetera.

All because of a darn tasty, fighting, fanatic fish called a snook.

Thousands of dollars and hundreds of man-hours spent to catch some terrible fish that politically correct America will bemoan, belittle, berate, chastise, castigate, debase, deride, demean, and excoriate you for if you don't catch-and-release.

HARD CUT TO:

HE: Oh, sweet Lord Jesus save me !

NARRATOR: The boat was listing badly to port, water filling it from both the blinding rainstorm and the tsunami created by the thrashing of the Red Drum.

QUEEG: Hold on, you NAFTA idiot !

NARRATOR: The rain began to blind him and the rod felt heavy.

HE: Jesus, Mary, and Joseph !

NARRATOR: The thunder and lightning were blasting the waters

437. around us. Rain so thick it began to hurt our eyes.

Suddenly, as if on cue, they saw the beast. A tail so high out of the water that Queeg nearly mistook it for a Great White shark.

Queeg grabbed the fish net, some two feet in diameter, and leaned over the port side next to him.

NARRATOR: The way to remember the left side of the boat is called the port is to think of which wine is always left at the party: Port.

HE: Cap'n decanter always proffered these anecdotes between each Heineken.

NARRATOR: And the reason he drank so much was The Buffalo Theory of beer consumption.

THE ORB: Hey, wasn’t that attributed to the guy from.... ?

NARRATOR (cuts off The Orb): Don’t mention that name. Even think it, or it will appear.

HE: Well, what is this theory ?

BOOLE (looks about for him): ... [A] herd of buffalo can only move as fast as the slowest buffalo and when the herd is hunted, it is the slowest and weakest ones at the back that are killed first. This natural selection is good for the herd as a whole, because the general speed and health of the whole group keeps improving by the regular killing of the weakest members.

In much the same way, the human brain can only operate as fast as the slowest brain cells. Now, as we know, excessive drinking of alcohol kills brain cells. But naturally, it attacks the slowest and weakest brain cells first. In this way, regular consumption of beer eliminates the weaker brain cells, making the brain a faster and more efficient machine. And that is why you always feel smarter after a few beers.

NARRATOR: The Tarnished Tank rumbles on. He is half asleep driving on a rural road so as the khat swells his cheeks. To rouse himself from this state he lights up a joint and pops a Heinie.

He decided to stop and relax after negotiating another brush fire that made Oakland Hills seems like a match stick. But it felt good, he was close, very close, to Matlacha.

HE: Ah, pronounced MAT-LACK-HA, that is Miccosukee Indian for, “What are those puss-filled, sores all over your body, you bovine looking, socialist, bartending bitch ?”

THE ORB: Wrong, chicken lips, it is pronounced "MAT-la-shay," and is a Calusa Indian word meaning "water to the chin.”

NARRATOR: Boole chimes in -- wait, oh, no -- you had to think his name. Just had to.

THE ORB: Oh, God, not him. And here we thought that you, Boole and cyclones were long-winded.

CLIFF CLAVIN: Actually, Matlacha is a census-designated place (CDP) in Lee County, Florida, United States. As of the 2000 census, the CDP had a total population of 735.

As of the census of 2000, there were 735 people, 409 households, and 213 families residing in the CDP.

The population density was 4,878.7 people per square mile (1,891.9/km²). There were 579 housing units at an average density of 3,843.3/sq mi (1,490.4/km²). The racial makeup of the CDP was 98.23% White, 0.27% Native American, 0.27% Asian, 0.68% from other races, and 0.54% from two or more races. Hispanic or Latino of any race were 1.36% of the population.

There were 409 households out of which 6.4% had children under the age of 18 living with them, 46.9% were married couples living together, 3.9% had a female householder with no husband present, and 47.7% were non-families. 39.4% of all households were made up of individuals and 19.3% had someone living alone who was 65 years

439. of age or older. The average household size was 1.80 and the average family size was 2.33.

In the CDP the population was spread out with 7.3% under the age of 18, 2.4% from 18 to 24, 17.4% from 25 to 44, 34.7% from 45 to 64, and 38.1% who were 65 years of age or older. The median age was 58 years. For every 100 females there were 105.9 males. For every 100 females age 18 and over, there were 106.4 males.

The median income for a household in the CDP was $36,417, and the median income for a family was $50,000. Males had a median income of $28,056 versus $28,750 for females. The per capita income for the CDP was $24,371. About 7.4% of families and 9.2% of the population were below the poverty line, including 23.9% of those under age 18 and 2.8% of those age 65 or over.

THE ORB, BOOLE, NARRATOR (unison to Cliff): Shut up, Cliff !

HE: Abortion takes it tolls everywhere.

NARRATOR: But he could smell the money from the neo-nouveau riche, 50ish momma boys who suddenly had money because of dead relatives and false demand created by Realtors.

Still, he felt an irresistible drawing to Matlacha.

Little did he know that Bobby Milk's, a place he had never seen before, was the attraction. A place hidden deep in the bowels of the CPD “city” of Matlacha.

THE ORB: Bobby Milk’s was supposed to be hidden in the back of the woods near the German-America Social Club.

NARRATOR: Matlacha was an old-Florida, island community from last accounting. It connected Pine Island to Cape Coma through Pine Island Sound. But it is was different now, most of the trailers were gone, the squatters that now made Florida a pioneer state were condos, as were they in Bokeelia.

HE (looking sadly about): It has happened, The Village of Idiots and Mass Hypnotist Hell had arrived with their form of State Capitalism and social-class greed. Only not as bad a Ocean Grief.

440.

THE ORB: They have ripped the soul out of the community, pretending as they do to be sleepy, but in reality, soulless and dead as Elvis.

Oh, were they ever bold, lashing out at society and defending traditionalism: they won't allow a McDonalds.

But, for some reason, they allowed illegal immigrants to come and live and work as their servants.

HE: The Mass Hypnotists had done well. Now they can take your house for future higher tax revenues.

BOOLE: Hurricanes are categorized for strength and potential by The Saffir-Simpson Hurricane Intensity Scale. Each of the five categories includes not only wind speed but probable storm surge and overall damage.

Category one has wind speeds of 74-95 miles an hour, a storm surge of 4-5 feet and damage is "have a beer" minimal.

Category two has winds of 96-110, a 6-8 foot storm surge and does moderate "ass-puckering" damage.

Category three storms run from 111-130 miles per hour, have storm surges up to 9-12 feet and do "get your shit and git" extensive damage.

Category four monsters that have winds speeds from 131-155 miles, storm surges that climb as high as 18 feet and do "hold on to your lug nuts and eat Valiums like chiclets" extreme damage.

And finally, a Category five is a "kiss your white ass goodbye” for being (Stuper Duck) “stuuuuupid” enough to be in the way of a 155 mile per hour plus monster, with a Mothra-like coastal storm surge of 18 feet or over, and whose effects can only be understated by the word "catastrophic," but best described as biblical.

NARRATOR: Quick as a lousy actress’s brown bunny, he realizes that a county sheriff is behind and following him. He turns around, eyes as wide as a doe, with the burning joint in his mouth.

HE: Oh no.

NARRATOR: Vertical rollers come on the police car. The Tarnished Tank pulls to a stop.

From a far vantage point, the Caliphs stop and watch.

HE (frantic): Gotta hide the khat, gotta hide the khat. Oh, man.

THE ORB (yelling): Hide the khat in your pants, cover up the beer, and stop stammering ! Even a drug dog won't pick up the khat scent.

NARRATOR: He pulls out his one-hitter and a dime bag.

HE: And what about this Coyote Peters shit ?

THE ORB (ranting): Eat them ! Wait, don't do that, just hide everything. Be cool, be very cool. You know how to handle these mirrored sunglass wearing, redneck Matlachaans (Pronounced MA-LACK- HAANS), just hide the reefer and beer smell.

NARRATOR: He opens the glove compartment, gets the Ozone (not Ozomen quite yet), and sprays it low and high like the Iraqi’s sarin-gassing of the Kurds. The air clears immediately but the inside of the car smells like napalm mixed with pachyderm puke.

HE: What's taking them so long ? They are still in the car.

THE ORB: Probably just checking the plates.

NARRATOR: He looks in the mirror as one of the two cops gets out.

HE: Oh shit.

442.

THE ORB: Truth squad. Run away, run away !

NARRATOR: An African-American male sheriff, the size of an Amana upright freezer with feet, and wearing those mirrored glasses, gets out slowly, unfastening his gun.

He gets a tad more scared.

HE: Oh man, oh man, gonna get busted real hard.

THE ORB (ducks): You're on your own.

HE: Good, the other cop is getting out, maybe we'll be okay. [Looks for The Orb.] What are you doing, hiding ?

NARRATOR: His jaws are swollen from the khat and it sticks out of his teeth. He looks up at the cop car as the passenger gets out of the car.

HE: Oooooooh shit !

NARRATOR: A hot, big-tittied, weaved/processed-haired, petite, well-armed African-American female -- with a bubble butt you could bounce a quarter off of and hit a ceiling fan -- Sheriff gets out and walks over with her partner; she to the passenger side of the Tarnished Tank, her partner to the driver's side.

As they approach, the extraordinarily unhelpful Orb decides to help by singing.

THE ORB (off key): Swing low, sweet chariot.

HE: Shut up.

THE ORB: Momma's little baby loves, short'nin’, short'nin’, momma's little baby loves short'nin’ bread.

HE: Shut up and help me.

THE ORB: No problemo, dude, just ask them if they have a Mass Hypnotist bumper sticker.

443.

NARRATOR: The Orb knew how much he hated Spanish anything, idioms included.

THE ORB: Hey, I got it, tell them you support Mass Hypnotists whenever you can.

HE: You think that will work ?

NARRATOR: The male cop walks up and knocks on the window while the female cop warily approaches the passenger side. He is ready and rolls down the window.

MALE COP: Boy, who the hell are you talking too ?

NARRATOR: Now confident in how he will approach the situation, he looks the large male cop right in the eye and says without flinching a muscle in his face.

HE: What's up, Hoss ?

HARD CUT TO:

NARRATOR: The cop car door slams after the cop has given him a series of tickets. The cops drive away shaking their heads and laughing.

THE ORB: Hoss ? All you could think of was Hoss ?

HE: Saw it on a television show. It worked then.

THE ORB (laughing like Beavis and Butthead): Hoss. Ha,ha,ha,ha, ha.

NARRATOR: He is shakier than a blind faggot at a Barney Frank hot dog eating contest; not to mention higher than the Hubble, so he decides to drive to the neck parking area, where is passes out from the copious amounts of khat, Heinies and pot he has recently consumed.

Outside, the sky blackens quickly. Dusk has come fast for the afternoon. Little did he know that Hurricane Barry was approaching. A category five, world-ender.

444.

BOOLE: He didn’t know this because he doesn’t watch TV, or listen to the radio, and I couldn’t help him.

NARRATOR: All he could think of was what the heck was Bobby Milk’s and who the hell was Coyote Peters ?

10101000110001101011011111101101

BOOLE: Since the Mass Hypnotist atrocities against the Serbs, here are just a few of the recent Hollywood movies that have openly vilified or lampooned Serbians; like they have the Amish; like they have Catholics; like they have the Rastafari; and like those with traits of albinism before:

Harrison's Flowers (2000), Diplomatic Siege (1999), Behind Enemy Lines (2001), The Peacemaker (1997).

Actors ranging from Robert DeNiro, Hillary Clinton, George Clooney, Nicole Kidman, Peter Weller, Vincent D’Onofrio, to Tom Berenger, Owen Wilson, and Daryl Hannah have spouted Serbophobic lies and misstatements with regards to the Balkans and Serbian rights and true history before, during and since WWII.

During the Kosovo and Bosnian wars not one American was killed at Serbian hands while tens of thousands of Serbs, many non- combatants, died under the hail of American bombs provided by the Mass Hypnotists .

HE: Only the American Secretary of Commerce was killed in a plane crash in Bosnia just in time to stop his testimony. Seems the plane crashed so hard an M1911 .45 long-slide discharged and put a bullet in his head.

THE ORB: It could happen, really, it could. The important point is to remain calm, not overreact.

445.

HE: JESUS MOTHERFUCKING CHRIST !

NARRATOR: He woke in a shock, gripping the steering wheel so tight it began to bend. The water slammed against his car like a mad bull while the wind rushed around like a runaway freight train.

All this nature pushed his car backwards, and off where he had parked to nap, and into a small concrete abyss that began filling with the rushing tide. Water was up to the running plates of the Tarnished Tank and forcing water into the floor boards through all the holes.

Looking out his car, all his could see through the rush of water were scurrying Mexicans and flapping Mexican flags. He was now certain he was in America, southwest Florida that is.

As he struggled to compose himself, like most during a disaster, this chiming in he didn’t need.

BOOLE: Water weighs approximately 1,700 pounds per cubic yard.

Storm surge is by far the most deadly aspect of a Hurricane. It is simply water that is pushed toward the shore by the force of winds swirling around the hurricane or tropical storm. Nearly nine- tenths of all hurricane-related deaths in the United States result from the flooding produced by the storm surge.

This advancing surge combines with the normal tides to create the hurricane storm tide and can increase the mean water level 15 feet or more.

The term hurricane tide is not synonymous with storm surge, as it is often incorrectly referred, because a storm surge is just one aspect of a hurricane tide which also includes waves, rainfall, runoff from rivers at or near the coast and regular astronomically- induced tides. The term storm wave or tidal wave is also not correct because the surge doesn't resemble a wave as much as it does a fast-moving dome of water.

Storm surge is technically described as a rapid, abnormal increase in sea level along the coast, caused by the wind and reduced pressure of a tropical cyclone and best envisioned as a dome of water, often 50 miles across, generally three to five feet for

446. weak storms and 15-25 feet for major hurricanes.

The dome moves with and slightly ahead of the storm and is generally in the right-front quadrant of the storm as the eye approaches. It generally grows higher as it approaches the coastline, reaching its maximum at about the time of landfall and is primarily a function of the steepness of the offshore sea bottom. A gently sloping bottom will generally produce a higher surge.

In addition, wind driven waves are superimposed on the storm tide and when combined with a narrow slope of the continental shelf, can inundate a coastal community and that makes the Gulf Coast far more susceptible to storm surge than the Atlantic. This rise in water level can cause severe flooding in the coastal area, particularly when the storm tide coincides with the normal high tides. Because much of the United States' densely populated coastline lie less than 10 feet above mean sea level, the danger from storm tides is tremendous.

Hurricane Opal, a Category 3 hurricane that made landfall near Pensacola, Florida in 1995, had a maximum storm tide of 24 feet recorded near Fort Walton Beach, Florida.

BOOLE: There has also been a parallel history of cryptanalysis, that is, the breaking of codes and ciphers. From the early discovery of frequency analysis, the consequences of reading an adversary's communications have often proved to be profound.

For example, the Zimmermann Telegram triggered the entrance of the United States into World War I, and the Allied breaking of Nazi Germany's ciphers may have shortened World War II by as much as two years.

The Enigma machine was widely used by Nazi Germany; its cryptanalysis by Allied cryptographers provided vital Ultra intelligence.

By World War II mechanical and electromechanical cryptographic cipher machines were in wide use, although where these were

447. impractical manual systems continued to be used. Great advances were made in both practical and mathematical cryptography in this period, all in secrecy.

Information about this period has begun to be declassified in recent years as the official 50-year (British) secrecy period has come to an end, as the relevant US archives have slowly opened, and as assorted memoirs and articles have been published.

The Germans made heavy use (in several variants) of an electromechanical rotor based cipher system called Enigma. Marian Rejewski, in Poland, attacked and 'broke' the early German Army Enigma system (an electromechanical rotor cipher machine) using theoretical mathematics in 1932.

It was the greatest breakthrough in cryptanalysis in a thousand years and more. The Polish break into Enigma traffic continued up to '39, when changes in the way the German Army used Enigma required more resources to continue the break than the Poles had available.

They passed their knowledge, some sample machines, on to the British and French that summer. Even Rejewski and his fellow mathematicians and cryptographers from the Biuro Szyfrow ended up with the British and French after the German blitzkrieg.

The work was extended by Alan Turing, Gordon Welchman, and others at Bletchley Park leading to sustained breaks into several other of the Enigma variants and into the message traffic on the assorted networks for which they were used.

Bletchley Park, where much of the Ultra work was done, now has a museum and a web site.

The Ultra work introduced three major innovations.

The first break of Enigma was achieved by Polish Intelligence in 1931. Until then most code-breakers had been linguists, but a different approach was needed to break machine ciphers. Polish Intelligence recruited bright young mathematicians to crack the "unbreakable" Enigma.

When war came in 1939, the Poles told their allies about this,

448. putting Britain on the road to Ultra. The British also adopted a mathematical approach.

Machines were extensively used in the attacks. First the Polish "Bombe" for attacking Enigma, then British versions of it, then machines such as Collosus for attacking other codes. By the end of the war, some of these machines were beginning to closely resemble digital computers. After the war, a team at Manchester University, several old Ultra hands included, built one of the world's first actual general-purpose digital computers.

Ultra made codebreaking a large-scale enterprise, producing intelligence on an industrial scale. This was not a "black chamber", not a hidden room in some obscure government building with a small crew of code-breakers.

The whole operation -- from wholesale interception of enemy communications by stations around the world, through large-scale code-breaking and analysis of the decrypted material (with an enormous set of files for cross-referencing), to delivery of intelligence to field commanders -- was huge, and very carefully managed.

So, by the end of the war, Allied code-breakers were expert at large-scale mechanized code-breaking. The payoffs were enormous.

US Navy cryptographers (with cooperation from British and Dutch cryptographers after 1940) broke into several Japanese Navy crypto systems. The break into one of them, JN-25, famously led to the US victory in the Battle of Midway.

A US Army group, the SIS, managed to break the highest security Japanese diplomatic cipher system (an electromechanical 'stepping switch' machine called Purple by the Americans) even before WWII began. The Americans referred to the intelligence resulting from cryptanalysis, perhaps especially that from the Purple machine, as 'Magic'.

The British eventually settled on 'Ultra' for intelligence resulting from cryptanalysis, particularly that from message traffic enciphered by the various Enigmas. An earlier British term for Ultra had been 'Boniface'.

449.

The German military also deployed several mechanical attempts at a one-time pad. Bletchley Park called them the Fish ciphers, and Max Newman and colleagues designed and deployed the world's first programmable digital electronic computer, the Colossus, to help with their cryptanalysis. The German Foreign Office began to use the one-time pad in 1919; some of this traffic was read in WWII partly as the result of recovery of some key material in South America that was insufficiently carefully discarded by a German courier.

The Japanese Foreign Office used a locally developed electrical stepping switch based system (called Purple by the US), and also used several similar machines for attaches in some Japanese embassies. One of these was called the 'M-Machine' by the US, another was referred to as 'Red'. All were broken, to one degree or another by the Allies.

NARRATOR: He sat at his new bank job; but he was as he feared, a modern day Babbitt. Only more dull and impotent pill depended; and, as always, hated by all because he was newly appointed to the loan department as a junior officer by his future father-in-law.

That inhuman, a Forbes, watches his every move.

Then the Ericssons sat at his desk, they are very tired-looking, poorly dressed, and their two children look underfed.

THE ORB: Two months late, the old man wants blood. Say, make it like Whitewater, just a rent, steal all their equity.

HE: Christ, I can't.

MISTER ERICSSON: Sir, the co-op is short again, imports are pouring in and prices are down, and since the global cooling, we've lost half of our crops.

THE ORB: GATT, CAFTA, NAFTA, all-time high gas and fuel prices and

450. global cooling burns single farmers again. The farm bill doesn't apply to single farms, only the corporate, PAs scum that buy them out. Two million family farms to 50,000. Thanks Mass Hypnotists .

HE: Like 140,000,000.

THE ORB: Follow the money, baby. ADM, Tyson Foods, ConAgra, and Winn-Dixie, PAs, Congress, Marxist/Leninists, and forced redistribution of bank loans to risky houses that produce nothing in return. They are the real domestic terrorists. Modern day NEP collectivism of the STAMOCAP DNC.

HE: Mr. Ericsson, just don't know if we can refinance.

THE ORB: Daddy Forbes will say it’s too risky. They are single family farms.

NARRATOR: Heartbroken, Misses Ericsson begins to cry. He can take it no more.

HE (ponders): I tell you what, I'll give you an 180-day extension at interest only and roll the principal in arrears. No big deal. We'll get you another amortization schedule set up before you leave.

THE ORB: Good boy. I guess underwater and upside-down are better than lost equity like Clinton’s Whitewater and Obama’s America.

MISSES ERICSSON (voice catching): May God bless you.

THE ORB: Careful Farm Aid. Look what happened to Nelson, Mellencamp and Grand Funk Railroad.

NARRATOR: The Ericssons leave crying tears of joy.

THE ORB: How do you feel ?

HE: I've never felt better about myself.

NARRATOR: The light on his phone's intercom comes on. It's old man Forbes.

451.

FORBES (sternly): Come on in here, please. We've got to talk.

THE ORB: Death panel, buzz kill.

HE: Couldn't hate this job more. Rule of 78ths, Rule of 72, et cetera. Just don't need the stress. All I ever wanted was to be a paramedic and write.

NARRATOR: He walks slowly into Forbes' office, tail firmly between his legs.

FORBES: Shut the door. [Looking like a modern relic of a 1920s Robber Baron. The perfect mortgage broker/banker he was.] We have to have a heart-to-heart.

NARRATOR: Old man Forbes, with a phallic-looking Churchill stogie in his old mouth, sits in a big chair just right for his big, fat butt. There is an ostentatious picture of, you guessed it, himself, hanging behind him. He'd have gotten better quality in a velvet tiger painting.

FORBES: Going over what you just did I am going to give the Ericsson account to that new guy, Kristol.

HE: Yes, sir.

FORBES: I only hope they cover the note starting in 180 days, or else I will foreclose and sell to the orange-growers.

THE ORB: Kristol is a real neocon sycophant.

FORBES (laughing in billows of cigar smoke): Janet is going to Abaco with us for the week. Don't give away the store while we're gone.

THE ORB: This jerk is a barrel of laughs, you should have quit right then. That man is so full of it.

HE (thinking to himself): Boy, what a classic moment I could have had. Just should have gone up to the old man with his cigar firmly planted in his cheek and said:

452.

“Mr. Forbes, you look like a movie start with that cigar in your mouth.”

“Who, Burt Reynolds ?” The old bastard would have asked proudly.

“No, you fat asshole; you look like Rin Tin Tin taking a shit.”

THE ORB: Woulda, coulda, shoulda.

FORBES (loud, breaking his thought): And son, you need to tell my daughter you love her more often. Just friendly advice from the old man.

HE (to himself): What the hell do Shamu and the robber baron want ? Do I have to say the L-word every fucking day ?

THE ORB: Ah, yes.

HE: Come on, I wrote it on a Christmas card.

THE ORB: Yeah, two years ago.

NARRATOR: He is feeling the khat now.

BOOLE: Again, remember, the equipment necessary for the urban sniper to effectively perform his mission is simple: the sniper carries only what is essential to successfully complete his mission.

HE: And that requires ?

BOOLE: Stuuupid. A durable rifle with the capability of long-range precision fire. The current US Army sniper weapon system is the M24, but Excalibur will suffice.

453.

1) Wear jeans. 2) No sidearm whatsoever should be carried, but the urban sniper may carry a disposable Bauer .25, in case. 3) Carry no compass, no maps, no calculator, nothing camouflaged, no data books, no political buttons or logos. Nothing but a plan, and rehearsal done over and over in his head. 4) Carry the concealed weapon, a fake ID, and the perfect disguise.

And above all, you must have the WILLPOWER. Practice WILLPOWER in everything you do.

BOOLE: Dorothy Mae Kilgallen (July 3, 1913 – November 8, 1965) was an Irish-American journalist and television game show panelist, perhaps best known nationally for her syndicated newspaper column The Voice of Broadway and her role as a panelist on the television game show What's My Line ?. She was born in Chicago, Illinois, the daughter of newspaperman James Kilgallen and Mae Kilgallen, a homemaker. She had one sister, Eleanor Kilgallen.

Dorothy's early working career was as a trial reporter. She covered the trials of Dr. Sam Sheppard (the inspiration for the television show The Fugitive), Bruno Hauptmann (who was responsible for the kidnapping and death of Charles Lindbergh's son), and Anna Antonio. She worked for William Randolph Hearst and other publishers.

In 1936, she competed with fellow newspaper reporters in a race around the world, and as the only female contestant, she came in second. She described the event in her book, Girl Around The World, which inspired a movie, Fly Away Baby (1937).

Kilgallen abandoned her film career and returned to work at The New York Journal. In November 1937 she was given her own column, "Hollywood Scene". The following year she began writing a new column, "The Voice of Broadway", for the New York Journal American.

In 1940 Kilgallen married Richard Kollmar. Over the next couple of years the couple had three children (Jill, Richard, and Kerry).

454.

In April 1945 the couple began a daily morning radio show, Breakfast with Dorothy and Dick. The program went out live: Monday to Saturday (8.15 to 8.55 a.m.) and Sunday (11.30 to 12.00). Over the years the program was gradually commercialized. Companies paid to have their products mentioned over breakfast and theatre producers arranged to have their plays and musicals discussed over breakfast. Films and books were also promoted by the hosts.

By 1941 the column was appearing in 24 other newspapers. Kilgallen was now one of the most important gossip columnists in America.

In 1950, it was estimated that she had twenty million readers. Kilgallen achieved this position by developing a very good strategy for gaining secret information about famous people. Kilgallen was swamped with requests by press agents to plug the activities of their clients. Kilgallen always refused these requests. Instead, she offered a deal. "Bring me three detrimental stories concerning other stars and I will include a good piece about your client." As these stars were usual rivals of their clients, and they were only too willing to be, and do, what she demanded.

In 1950, she became a panelist on the American television game show “What's My Line ?” which aired on the CBS television network from 1950 to 1967, and she remained a fixture on the show for fifteen years. Kilgallen was typically introduced by the show's announcer as "the popular syndicated columnist whose 'Voice of Broadway' appears in newspapers coast to coast." She brought to her role as panelist New York sophistication, a competitive spirit, keen questioning of guests, and a gleeful appreciation of humorous moments.

However, she was often antagonistic to Frank Sinatra in her society columns. Frank took umbrage to this and referred to her as the "chinless wonder." Ironically, the two of them were good friends for several years until she began criticizing him for his alleged organized crime connections.

HE: Bad move.

BOOLE: Kilgallen sometimes wrote articles about political issues. According to several of her close friends, Kilgallen received information from the Central Intelligence Agency.

455.

A study of her writings suggests she was an important CIA media asset. Kilgallen was extremely well-informed about the situation in Cuba. In 1959 and 1960 Kilgallen included a large number of anti-Castro stories in her column. Some of this information came from Cuban exiles based in Miami.

Sometimes Kilgallen included highly subversive material in her column. For example, on July 15th, 1959, Kilgallen became the first journalist to suggest that the CIA and the Mafia were working together in order to assassinate Fidel Castro. This disclosure upset high-ranking government officials and J. Edgar Hoover began to keep a dossier on Kilgallen's activities.

In September 1959, Kilgallen reported on the visit of Nikita Khrushchev for the Journal-American. Kilgallen created a storm when she attacked the dress sense of his wife, Nina Khrushchev: "The grisliness of her attire amounts almost to a demonstration of piety. It would be difficult to find clothes comparable to hers in the waiting room of a New York employment agency for domestic help; in this decadent capitalistic republic, applicants for jobs as laundresses, chambermaids, and cooks usually are far more a la mode than Russia's first lady." So many people complained about the article that Kilgallen feared she would have to resign.

Kilgallen was also sued for libel by the journalist Elaine Shepard. In an article published on 22nd December, 1959, it was suggested that a female member of the Washington press group that joined President Dwight Eisenhower on a tour of Europe had an affair with someone on the White House staff. Although eighty- three reporters who accompanied Eisenhower, Shepard was the only woman. She therefore sued for $750,000 claiming that Kilgallen "had maliciously implied that she was a person of lewd and unchaste character". The case was to drag on for the next few years and created a great deal of stress for Kilgallen.

In 1961, Kilgallen covered the murder trial of Bernard Finch and Carole Tregoff. Bennett Cerf of Random House was very impressed with these reports and as a result commissioned her to write a book called Murder One. The book was to contain a series of chapters on famous murder cases she had reported on since the early 1930s.

456.

Over the years Kilgallen received a great deal of information about the affairs of John F. Kennedy. However, she was a close friend of Kennedy (they had met via his mistress, Florence Pritchett). One day she was gossiping about Kennedy with her friend Allen Stokes. He asked her why she did not write about it in her column. She replied, "I couldn't possibly". It would have been a great scoop. But she decided to protect him.

However, Kilgallen broke this rule when on the 3rd August, 1962, she became the first journalist to refer to Kennedy's relationship with Marilyn Monroe. She did not actually name him but left enough clues for the readers to identify Kennedy as the secret man in Monroe's life (later Kilgallen told friends she was actually referring to Robert Kennedy). One can only assume that she came under severe pressure from someone to write this story.

The following day, Monroe was found dead. Kilgallen must have realized that she had been set her up to smear the Kennedy brothers. Rumors soon began circulating that Robert Kennedy had arranged Monroe's death to protect his brother's reputation.

HE: Real bad move.

BOOLE: John F. Kennedy was assassinated in Dallas, Texas, on November 22nd, 1963. Kilgallen took a keen interest in the case and soon became convinced that Kennedy had not been killed by Lee Harvey Oswald. Kilgallen had a good contact within the Dallas Police Department. He gave her a copy of the original police log that chronicled the minute-by-minute activities of the department on the day of the assassination, as reflected in the radio communications.

This enabled her to report that the first reaction of Chief Jesse Curry to the shots in Dealey Plaza was: "Get a man on top of the overpass and see what happened up there". Kilgallen pointed out that he lied when he told reporters the next day that he initially thought the shots were fired from the Texas Book Depository.

Kilgallen also had a source within the Warren Commission. This person gave her a 102-page segment dealing with Jack Ruby before it was published. She published details of this leak and so, therefore, ensuring that this section appeared in the final version of the report.

457.

The Federal Bureau of Investigation investigated the leak and on September 30th, 1964, Kilgallen reported in the New York Journal American that the FBI "might have been more profitably employed in probing the facts of the case rather than how I got them".

In another of her stories, Kilgallen claimed that Marina Oswald knew a great deal about the assassination of John F. Kennedy. If she told the "whole story of her life with President Kennedy's alleged assassin, it would split open the front pages of newspapers all over the world."

Kilgallen's reporting brought her into contact with Mark Lane who had himself received an amazing story from the journalist Thayer Waldo. He had discovered that Jack Ruby, J. D. Tippet, and Bernard Weismann had a meeting at the Carousel Club eight days before the assassination. Waldo, who worked for the Fort Worth Star-Telegram, was too scared to publish the story. He had other information about the assassination.

However, he believed that if he told Lane or Kilgallen he would be killed. Kilgallen's article on the Tippit, Ruby and Weissman meeting appeared on the front page of the Journal American. Later she was to reveal that the Warren Commission were also tipped off about this gathering. However, their informant added that there was a fourth man at the meeting, an important figure in the Texas oil industry.

Kilgallen also published several articles about how important witnesses had been threatened by the Dallas Police or the FBI. On September 25th, 1964, Kilgallen published an interview with Acquilla Clemons, one of the witnesses to the shooting of J. D. Tippet. In the interview, Clemons told Kilgallen that she saw two men running from the scene, neither of whom fitted Oswald's description. Clemons added: "I'm not supposed to be talking to anybody, might get killed on the way to work."

Kilgallen was keen to interview Jack Ruby. She went to see Ruby's lawyer Joe Tonahill and claimed she had a message for his client from a mutual friend. It was only after this message was delivered that Ruby agreed to be interviewed by Kilgallen. Tonahill remembers that the mutual friend was from San Francisco and that he was involved in the music industry.

458.

Kennedy researcher, Greg Parker, has suggested that the man was Mike Shore, co-founder of Reprise Records.

She conducted an interview with Jack Ruby shortly before his death, during a recess of his trial for the shooting death of Lee Harvey Oswald. Her New York Journal-American column was critical of the Warren Commission.

The interview with Ruby lasted eight minutes. No one else was there. Even the guards agreed to wait outside. Officially, Kilgallen never told anyone about what Ruby said to her during this interview. Nor did she publish any information she obtained from the interview.

There is a reason for this. Kilgallen was in financial difficulties in 1964. This was partly due to some poor business decisions made by her husband, Richard Kollmar. The couple had also lost the lucrative contract for their radio show Breakfast with Dorothy and Dick. Kilgallen also was facing an expensive libel case concerning an article she wrote about Elaine Shepard. Her financial situation was so bad she fully expected to lose her beloved house in New York City.

On September 3, 1965, Kilgallen wrote, regarding the assassination, "This story isn't going to die as long as there's a real reporter alive...." She had a history of government criticism, once suggesting that the CIA recruited members of the Mafia to assassinate Fidel Castro (which many years later was proved to be the case).

FBI Director J. Edgar Hoover kept a file on her activities.

Kilgallen was a staff member of Journal American. Any article about the Jack Ruby interview in her newspaper would not have helped her serious financial situation. Therefore she decided to include what she knew about the assassination of John F. Kennedy in Murder One. She fully expected that this book would earn her a fortune. This is why she refused to tell anyone, including Mark Lane, about what Ruby told her in the interview arranged by Tonahill. In October 1965, told Lane that she had a new important informant in New Orleans.

459.

Kilgallen began to tell friends that she was close to discovering who assassinated Kennedy. According to David Welsh of Ramparts Magazine Kilgallen "vowed she would crack this case.” And another New York show biz friend said Dorothy told him in the last days of her life: "In five more days I'm going to bust this case wide open." Aware of what had happened to Bill Hunter and Jim Koethe, Kilgallen handed a draft copy of her chapter on the assassination to her friend, Florence Smith.

HE: Seriously bad move.

BOOLE: On November 8, 1965, Dorothy was found dead in her New York City home at the age of 52 - just 12 hours after she appeared, live, on "What's My Line ?". She had, apparently, succumbed to a fatal combination of alcohol and Seconal, perhaps concurrent with a heart attack. It is not known whether it was a suicide or an accidental death, though the amount of barbiturate in her system was small enough to suggest an accident.

Because of her open criticism of the Warren Commission and other US government entities, and her association with Ruby and recent interview with him, some speculate that she was murdered by members of the alleged JFK conspiracy. Or the Mafia for various reasons.

When Kilgallen, was found dead in her New York apartment, she was fully dressed and sitting upright in her bed. The police reported that she had died from taking a cocktail of alcohol and barbiturates. The notes for the chapter she was writing on the case had disappeared. Her friend, Florence Smith, died two days later. The copy of Kilgallen's article was never found.

Some of her friends believed Kilgallen had been murdered. Marc Sinclaire was Kilgallen's personal hairdresser. He often woke Kilgallen in the morning. Kilgallen was usually out to the early hours of the morning and like her husband always slept late. When he found her body he immediately concluded she had been murdered.

1) Kilgallen was not sleeping in her normal bedroom. Instead she was in the master bedroom, a room she had not occupied for several years. 2) Kilgallen was wearing false eyelashes. According to Sinclaire

460. she always took her eyelashes off before she went to bed. 3) She was found sitting up with the book, The Honey Badger, by Robert Ruark, on her lap. Sinclaire claims that she had finished reading the book several weeks earlier (she had discussed the book with Sinclaire at the time). 4) Kilgallen had poor eyesight and could only read with the aid of glasses. Her glasses were not found in the bedroom where she died. 5) Kilgallen was found wearing a bolero-type blouse over a nightgown. Sinclaire claimed that this was the kind of thing "she would never wear to go to bed".

Mark Lane also believed that Kilgallen had been murdered. He said that "I would bet you a thousand-to-one that the CIA surrounded her (Kilgallen) as soon as she started writing those stories." The only new person who became close to Kilgallen during the last few months was her new secret lover. In her book, Kilgallen, Lee Israel calls him the "Out-of-Towner".

According to Israel she met him in Carrara in June 1964, during a press junket for journalists working in the film industry. The trip was paid for by Twentieth Century-Fox who used it to publicize three of its films: The Sound of Music, The Agony and the Ecstasy and Those Magnificent Men in Their Flying Machines.

Israel claims that the "Out-of-Towner" went up to Kilgallen and asked her if she was Clare Booth Luce. This is in itself an interesting introduction. Kilgallen and Luce did not look like each other. Luce and her husband (Henry Luce) however were to play an important role in the events surrounding the assassination. Luce owned Life Magazine and arranged to buy up the Zapruder Film.

Clare Booth Luce had also funded covert operations against Fidel Castro (1961-63).

It has been suggested by John Simkin that Kilgallen suspected that "Out-of-Towner" was a CIA spy. She, therefore, told her friends this is what he said so that if anything happened to her, a future investigator would realize that he was a CIA agent with links to Clare Booth Luce.

Lee Israel has always refused to identify the "Out-of-Towner". In 1993, the investigative reporter, David Herschel, discovered that his real name was Ron Pataky.

461.

In 1965, he had been a journalist working for the Columbus Citizen- Journal. He admitted that he was the "Out-of-Towner" and that he worked on articles about the assassination of John F. Kennedy with Kilgallen. Pataky also confessed to meeting Kilgallen several times in the Regency Hotel. However, he denied Lee Israel's claim that he was with her on the night of her death.

In December 2005, Lee Israel admitted that the "Out-of-Towner" was Ron Pataky and that "he had something to do with it (the murder of Dorothy Kilgallen)".

However, there was no evidence of a break-in or a struggle in Kilgallen's bedroom. Kilgallen's husband, who was in the apartment (although in another bedroom) reported nothing unusual. Her autopsy does not suggest evidence of homicide; however, her death certificate cites the cause of death as "undetermined".

At the time of her death, she had been married for 25 years and left behind 3 children. She is interred in the Cemetery of the Gate of Heaven in Hawthorne, New York.

For her contribution to the television industry, Dorothy Kilgallen has a star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame at 6780 Hollywood Boulevard.

NARRATOR: You could hear a pin drop at Heinhold’s.

HE: Help me. What is the relationship ?

NARRATOR: Strangely closed cases. Both supposedly massive amounts of seconal, as with Dorothy, or Nembutal, with Norma Jean in combination with alcohol. Either accident or suicide, right ?

HE: I guess.

BOOLE: Both intimately involved with JFK, RFK and the Mafia.

HE: Yea, so ? No foul play was involved.

BOOLE: The British are fighting the same deterioration of language that America has lost to. Culture adulteration works both ways. If linguistics expressiveness still makes its way to America from Britain via the occasional Kenneth Branagh picture, it turns out that America's DOE-influenced inarticulateness, much based on the feel-good ignorance of David Letterman and others in the Liberal media who subscribe to the notion that language is the tool of deception and distortion, has now infected Britain.

Language as enlightenment, specificity and passion is now foreign to those Pols and Pundits whose reliance on post-modern sensibility has embodied the American lexicon with irony, derision and false parsing.

NARRATOR: He met by a rude, whitey-hating, arrogant black bitch of a lackey secretary in the Call Center's Human Resource office. Having gone there right after the presentation to file a complaint, you know, be professional kinda stuff.

HE: This place sucks the sweat off a dead pygmy's balls.

THE ORB: You always were suave, mellifluous, and adroit.

463.

NARRATOR: The secretary half frowns.

HE: That committee is biased, I couldn't get promoted if I were Mother Teresa. Was thinking of selling vacuum cleaners, maybe there's no affirmative action there, huh ?

NARRATOR: The secretary gets snooty and turns to her fellow parasites, mostly black males and white women. She snidely chides him for seeming to be complaining about affirmative action, then rudely "axes" him if he had anything else to complain about.

He menacingly approaches close to her desk, still red in the face.

Click

HE: Well yes, there's one more thing we've yet to offer this company.

LACKEY: What might dat bes ?

NARRATOR: He was use to such replies from the constantly-voting- democrat, corporate, glass ceiling lackeys. This time he had the proper retort.

THE ORB: Oh, no, not the shoe.

HE: That's right, shoe magnets.

LACKEY: Say what ? You tripping, now get out, we going to lunch.

HE: No, seriously, allow this small lecture/demo.

THE ORB: Please don’t.

NARRATOR: He pays the pesky, yet delightful doppelganger little mind as he stands upright in the open space of the room near her desk.

HE (barking like a ‘Snake-Oil with Morphine’ salesman in the 1890s): Step right up and witness the invention that will change the ages. See what cures not only the Peter Principle of Affirmative Action but also if you have bad legs, you know knock-

464. knees. Or, fat, that's f-a-t, not p-h-a-t, and way out of shape, sort of like yous ‘ems.

NARRATOR: He exaggerates his motions putting his knees together as his voice rises.

HE: Well then, if knock-kneed we put magnets in the toes of the shoe and [Spreads his legs like a whore.] your legs spread again. And if you are bow-legged, like most of the round-heeled, peanut butter-legged, female supervisors are.

NARRATOR: He squats and bows his legs.

HE: Then, we put magnets on the heels. This helps to bring the knees together.

NARRATOR: He stands erect and straight, his voice rising more. By this time, the black superintendent comes out to investigate the noise. The secretary is leaning forward.

LACKEY: Is you on drugs ?

THE ORB: Stop.

NARRATOR: He goes on. Why not ? The French actually built the Maginot Line. The Krauts just walked around it. These were the same morons who invented perfume and the bode’. What are they covering up besides the fact that the words soap and washcloth are not in their lexicon ?

HE: Only one drawback to the magnets. Anytime you get too close to a metal desk, like this one, they are attracted and pin you to it. This is a demonstration of the toe magnet's drawback.

THE ORB: Don’t !

Bang !!

NARRATOR: He slams his toe into her desk and turns around. The secretary gasps.

465.

HE (talking in her vernacular): If you bes leaving, like my feets is, the heel magnets can do the same thing.

Bang !!

NARRATOR: He slams his heel into the desk. Two black security guards approach.

THE ORB: For goodness sakes, don't whip it out.

NARRATOR: The security guards take all of his worldly belongings and escort him out of the building.

WRITTEN ON SCREEN: "Nature has left this tincture in the blood, That all men would be tyrants if they could” - Daniel Defoe

BOOLE: In 1975, crypto icon Bailey 'Whit' Diffie, while working with Marty Hellman at Stanford, got the revolutionary idea of splitting the code key for all encrypted transmissions into a “key pair;” one widely known “pubic key,” meaning by both the sender and receiver, and a second “secret key” only known to the code decrypter. This meant that even the sender of e-mail could not decipher it.

This single act changed cryptography as we know it, creating an UNBREAKABLE (can't decipher) encryption system that was the linchpin that led to 9-11. The magnitude of the Diffie “split key” can't be stated enough and was to crypto what Pasteur's “Germ Theory” is to medicine or Einstein's “Theory of Relativity” is to astrophysics.

Prior to Diffie/Hellman almost every crypto, dating back to the rudimentary cryptograms of Jefferson and Poe, was easily broken. Even machines, like Germany's Enigma in WWII, were eventually broken by humans.

With respect to Enigma, a Polish cryptographer broke it, not the British. Most 20th-century pre-Diffie conventional crypto still

466. used a 'single key' to encrypt and decrypt; so with computers, any man-made, poly-alphabetic, numeric or character ciphers was not safe.

Concurrent to Diffie-Hellman, there were MIT professors creating RSA, in part based on the Diffie-Hellman revolution. RSA is a system of encryption that utilized the public key brainstorm of Diffie.

Thus, the 'secure' Internet revolution was soon born. RSA inventors also commercialized it and licensed its technology to Lotus and Microsoft. The government was, up to that time, successful in stopping export of what was to become known as a 'Public Key Algorithm' to overseas even tough commerce dictated it.

It's fairly public knowledge that Jimmy Carter, Stansfield Turner, William Colby, and the Church Committee revealed and ruined most of the NSA's and CIA's 'human resource jewels', id est, human assets used as intelligence sources if you will.

Colby, you might remember, soon drowned in a foot of water in about a foot of water on a so-called canoe trip right after Henry Kissinger told him, "William, you're too good a Catholic to run the C.I.A."

So the CIA, NSA and even FBI began more techno-spying programs with satellites, phones, etc. Then came the NSA's clandestine surveillance plan against early e-mail systems, called Echelon.

Like the old 'bugging' Bell Telephone relay systems, Echelon (The FBI's was later called Carnivore, and only was applied to all suspected terrorists. Riiiiight.) could intercept almost all e- mail and scan for ciphers, codes, or certain keyword. This wasn't to last long as the crypto revolution at Stanford and MIT, combined with the 1990's WorldWideWeb revolutions of e-commerce and banking at Apple and Microsoft, were to make our nation more vulnerable than ever to 9-11.

In addition, secure phone systems, like those in the NSA and White House, were now becoming widely used commercial products by CEOs, Police et al. The fear was that criminals and terrorists could use the crypto and secure phone systems to plot their crimes without

467. any fear of detection. Money could be transferred securely, data with schematics e-mailed, and coordination and timing were merely a CC’ed e-mail away.

Thus, the mushrooming problem faced by our intelligence community in the early 1990s was since this unbreakable crypto exists, how to control it ? And since a secure phone system would soon be in every terrorist's home a plan was developed at the NSA to control the crypto keys of all cryptography and set about having the ability to tap into every secure phone. The NSA was even bold (stupid) enough to announce this as Public Policy. Succinctly, the intelligence community's mission was to keep in escrow the keys to great unbreakable crypto that would surely be exported worldwide and somehow either dissuade AT&T with respect to installing those secure phone boxes or tap into them.

Then came the idea of the Clipper Chip in the early 1990s. Clipper was a 10 billion dollar contract to install a sort of escrow device into every secure phone and computer in America, and AT&T and Bill Gates were the major players. With a Clipper Chip, simply clipped to a phone or modem, along with the encryption keys in escrow of the encryption software, control was possible.

Then something happened that led directly to 9-11:

JAMES CARVILLE: It's the economy, stupid !

HE: Did you ever notice that Carville looks like that inbred, banjo-pickin redneck from the movie Deliverance all growed up ?

BOOLE: Now the antiwar, anti-government activists told people they were pro private crypto. They especially wanted no controls on retail software. You might remember John Podesta. He was the Clinton PR man on this.

Silicon Valley then went nuts with the new liberalization of crypto protections versus the status quo in government wanting the Clipper Chip. It was the 'brave new world' of crypto secure, where a cyber e-commerce world and a false economy was born. Everyone could now do cash transfers, start their own secure site, and communicate in complete privacy, free of ANY government clandestine scrutiny.

468.

But at what price ?

Their original mock support of only the Clipper Chip was a false front: With a Vice President having invented the Internet becoming the false prophet for using Clipper on exported systems only. This was doomed because international manufacturers in Europe and Asia would not go along, and with no crypto keys in escrow, anything outside of the U.S. would be almost impossible to break. Senate hearings failed and computer companies like Apple and Microsoft had Bill Clinton and a then democratically-controlled Congress in their pocket.

Senator "Less-Than-Lucid" Leahy was Clipper's most vocal opponent as were stalwart neo-conservatives like Rush Limbaugh and William Safire.

All this right after the smoke had barely cleared from Lockerbie, The Khobar Towers, The USS Cole, The U.S. African Embassy bombings in Kenya and Dar Es Salaam, Kaddafy, Hussein, and the first WTC attack.

But you see, the 1992 election slogan and the Democratic mantra for that time was: "It's the economy, stupid !" And for them, the economy came first, and they got duly reelected only because of it. But they ignored any possibility of criminals and terrorists using the crypto for evil purposes.

By 1995, it was too late. The republicans had taken Congress in 1994, but by then Silicon Valley went ape and the programmers at MIT, Stanford, so forth, developed as many crypto-safe devices as possible.

Strong 'secret key' crypto like DES or the federally used DSS was also developed.

In addition, Lotus had put RSA in its software as far back as 1986, fighting the NSA for export clearance. Now anti-government (anti-Echelon, Clipper) activists of both political wings, many of whom were crypto programmers were GIVING strong crypto away globally for FREE, and even NETSCAPE, when it went public in the old IPO hay days of the mid-1990s, had in its ballyhooed browser, a secure RSA crypto for e-commerce.

469.

By 1999, the then current Administration had signed off on (from a Republican-controlled Congress) legislation allowing export of extraordinarily strong crypto with no Clipper Chip or key escrow control on the export that could be kept hidden in our intelligence community.

Osama bin Laden and al-Qaeda had then, and have now, that strong exported crypto at least by 1999, around the time real threats were being made and intensified, and 9-11 (or some worse contingency) not only was the result but was now impossible to stop. Don't expect any future terror warning to be anything but vague. Not with this crypto.

Combine this with Clinton/Democratic/Republican initiatives like GATT/NAFTA/CAFTA of the 1990s and the open Mexican borders that were thus created; along with the then Vice President Gore’s 1996 flooding America with both illegal immigration and premature naturalization of millions of illegal Mexicans and Moslems for marginal votes only, and it was only a matter of time.

Added to that was Yitzhak Rabin’s (and Judaic Freemasonry) release of hundreds of Arab terrorists, including [drumroll, fanfare] Mohammad Atta, the scores of thousands of foreign students from the Mideast and Israel running unchecked nationally, and we are more vulnerable than ever.

LIHOP or MIHOP, take your pick. From 9-11 to London to Madrid to London to Moscow someone seems to know just in time when to avoid the noise.

"It's the economy, stupid !" eliminated the use of the Clipper Chip and key escrow controls, and the subsequent lose of techno- data. Then the Bush 43 Administrations of 2000 and 2004 opened the borders for illegal immigration to yield cheap labor.

Totaled, that's 30,000,000 illegal immigrants (millions of criminals and out-and-out terrorists among them) illegally voting in lieu of 80,000,000 legal black and white babies aborted since 1972.

A grandchild gap, a lost generation, and a ruined culture according to the Ben Wattenberg Think Tank.

470.

Thus, they flooded in, settled down, and because "It's STILL the economy, stupid" can talk when and where they want. All the intelligence community could do, and all future Administrations can do, is guess.

They've already guessed wrong once.

BOOLE: The Federal Reserve Bank, aka Federal Reserve System, is a Private Corporation. Black's Law Dictionary defines the "Federal Reserve System" as: "Network of twelve central banks to which most national banks belong and to which state chartered banks may belong. Membership rules require the investment of stock and minimum reserves."

Privately-owned banks own the stock of the FED. This was explained in more detail in the case of Lewis v. United States, Federal Reporter, 2nd Series, Vol. 680, Pages 1239, 1241 (1982), where the court said: "Each Federal Reserve Bank is a separate corporation owned by commercial banks in its region. The stock-holding commercial banks elect two-thirds of each Bank's nine member board of directors".

The Federal Reserve Banks are locally controlled by their member banks. Once again, according to Black's Law Dictionary, we find that these privately owned banks actually issue money:

"Federal Reserve Act. Law which created Federal Reserve banks which act as agents in maintaining money reserves, issuing money in the form of bank notes, lending money to banks, and supervising banks. Administered by Federal Reserve Board (q.v.)".

The privately owned Federal Reserve (FED) banks actually issue (create) the "money" we use. In 1964, the House Committee on Banking and Currency, Subcommittee on Domestic Finance, at the second session of the 88th Congress, put out a study titled “Money Facts” which contains a good description of what the FED is:

"The Federal Reserve is a total money-making machine. It can issue money or checks. And it never has a problem of making its checks

471. good because it can obtain the $5 and $10 bills necessary to cover its check simply by asking the Treasury Department's Bureau of Engraving to print them". Any one person or any closely knit group who has a lot of money has a lot of power.

Now imagine a group of people who have the power to create money. Imagine the power these people would have.

This is exactly what the privately owned FED is.

"Try Acting, dear boy." - Sir Laurence Olivier

BOOLE: Acting is becoming an imaginary person in order to show an audience a mirror image of themselves. It is a process of two-way communication between actor and audience and is an ability to react, to respond to imaginary situations and feelings.

It makes use of two kinds of physical skills: movement and voice. Either may dominate. Body movement is highly developed in Far Eastern acting traditions while the voice has ruled in Western cultures.

Personal style in acting is the imprint of the actor's art and personality on the roles that he or she creates. Style can also be the "look" of the particular acting company and the "historical" style which is the approach of a play through the study of the period in which it originated.

Acting is also an ephemeral art; once the performance is over, there is nothing left. There is no history of acting, no documentation, no record of acting itself before the end of the 19th century except for the written recollections of those who saw it.

Classical acting studies focus on close analysis of the verse, and on specific emotional, vocal, and physical choices dictated by the verse's rhythm and structure. It takes more than sheer physical stamina alone, to undertake Shakespeare's major roles. Playing a classic role in a play of Shakespeare is likened to competing in the Olympics.

472.

Classic theater is not drama history in disguise. It provides students not only the intellectual framework and education for their skills but also with specific performance skills that markedly enhance their acting.

Working on Shakespeare allows actors to develop the sensitivity to the nuance of language that will serve them forever for a variety of other language-focused dramatic writings from Neil Simon, to Samuel Beckett, to Sam Shepard.

The attention to detail over the psychology of classical texts begs the question of why study Shakespeare at all when a method actor is incapable of classic work ? For years Americans have shipped off to London for an abridged study, avoiding the time and resources of classical training.

American actors are still searching for Richard and seemingly will never find him.

NARRATOR: He has been sitting in his car in the parking lot of his former employer, the Call Center of Change, for an hour getting stoned on a poorly rolled joint, drinking a beer, and listening to AC/DC.

HE: The Negroes even took my fucking badge. Oh well, needed the rest anyway.

THE ORB: Rest ? You were there how long, a month ?

HE: Is it published on the 'net ?

THE ORB: Doesn't Janet's friend work there ? Is she a lezbo too, or maybe a character out of a Woody Allen movie ?

HE: She might as well be.

THE ORB: What is that, ten jobs in two years ?

HE: Chalk it up to initiative. Do I knock your hobbies ?

473.

THE ORB: Making a living ?

HE: You mean actually getting a recurring paycheck ? At least it's not evicting farmers. I just don't want to go to work for her father.

THE ORB: Thank Jimmy Carter.

HE: What a scumbag he is. Father hated him for sucking up to Castro because he still blames Castro for JFK.

THE ORB: Guess the recent Cuba visits, Hamas love-in and Nobel Prize didn't help.

HE: Come to think of it, Father has been a bit meaner nowadays, all because of Tractorcade Carter.

BOOLE: How easy it became; bankers sell farmers equipment they don't need and along comes GATT, CAFTA, and NAFTA and out they go. Then Winn-Dixie, ConAgra, ADM, Wal-Mart, Tyson Foods and those lawyers, doctors, PA's, and corporations buy up all the farms and get billions in farm subsidies while the individual farmer gets nothing.

HE: That would be illegal in China. Man, southern governors, and Yankee senators make lousy presidents.

THE ORB: Boole, why say stuff like that to him ? It doesn't help achieve anything and pisses him off.

BOOLE: If he asks I will tell him what he wants to know.

THE ORB: Alright, what's going on with your writing ? It's good according to some.

HE: Leave it alone. Janet's beckons.

THE ORB: What exactly do they want ?

HE: The usual, market plus internal locus of control.

THE ORB: You are a finance major, right ?

HE: Very funny. What's wrong with addressing the issue of the legal, working-poor Americans as something other than political fodder ?

THE ORB: Socialism, even hidden in American State Capitalism, just doesn't play anymore, John Maynard.

BOOLE: You can't be all things to all people. However, if you have the marginal minority, even if voting illegally, and not the legal voting moral majority, you are a certain despot.

HE: Is it my fault my Nature is that of an America First, bimetallic, pronatal, paleoconservative ?

THE ORB: Does that include murderer ?

BOOLE: You're better off contrasting and comparing Ludwig Von Mises versus Schumpeter versus Keynes.

BOOLE: The physical skills needed by actors have been understood since ancient times. They are a well-developed body and voice, ability to imitate other people's gestures and mannerisms, and mastery of the physical or vocal abilities required by the type of theater for which the actor is preparing.

Before the 20th century, the inner emotional training of actors was not thought about in a systematic way. Young actors developed

475. a "feel" for the art by watching older, more experienced performers, but the creation of emotional truth on stage was largely thought of as a problem of imitation.

The Method trains the actor to draw from personal experience to capture the character's emotional reality and American, film, television and theater have for over 50 years counted on a well- timed gaze over a well-turned phrase.

The over-reliance on that personal emotional reality, to the exclusion of all else, ends up leaving most actors adrift when they have to come to grips with Shakespeare or other classical texts and themes.

After all, how many snot-nosed, 20-year-olds have the emotional history needed to tackle "Hamlet" or "Henry V ?" What dating or cafeteria traumas from high school routinely prepare young actresses to play Desdemona or Ophelia. Classical acting requires special techniques beyond just knowing how to act. There are physical issues, breath issues, and familiarity with the text. And while training in naturalistic acting can enhance many performances, it cannot, by itself, sustain classical roles.

For years, it has been enough in America to assume that "learning to act" is enough, that the understanding and application of principles developed by Stanislavsky's system; advanced and taught as "Method Acting" by Kazan, Adler, and Strasberg for an essentially naturalistic repertory, would serve an actor throughout his or her career.

Bobby Milk knew this. Just putting real furniture and costumes on actors would not allow them to feel and project real emotions.

However, an increasingly diverse and innovative American theater demands a variety of skills and techniques from its performers. Americans of the "Method" school have a kind of imperialistic arrogance of thinking that their way of acting is appropriate for the dramatic material of other cultures and other periods. To the proponent of the Method, the liberal bent on social change through the theater arts, they had found its discipline.

And it is that arrogance that has turned Shakespeare, Jonson, Kyd, or Marlowe et al, into foreign languages because they insist on

476. ignoring and phrase and meeting it on their own terms or primal emotional adulteration, rather than on the terms of language, rhythm, and rhetoric on which the author intended and the audience deserves.

HE: So the Mass Hypnotism of America don't bother you in the least ? The social and global engineering ? What clap-trap.

Oh, and OJ ? Innocent on all charges.

THE ORB: Why ?

HE: You know why.

THE ORB (curtly): Shut up, David Duke, and take another hit. Rednecks like you should be required to smoke pot daily. Luckily, most of America doesn't share your view.

HE: How do you know that ? Speaking of 'The View' and ‘The Talk’ did you ever watch those lousy shows ?"

THE ORB: No, Budweiser, even at seven a.m., went out with disco, Travolta. You should quit pot too.

HE: Laugh now, the shows are a riot.

BOOLE: The political problem is that nearly all governments want to monitor their enemies' communications, and some want to monitor their citizens. They may be very interested in protecting some of their own communications, and often some types of business communication, but not in having everyone able to communicate securely. They, therefore, attempt to restrict the availability of strong cryptography as much as possible.

Things various governments have tried or are trying include:

Echelon, a monitor-the-world project of the US, UK, NZ, Australian and Canadian signals intelligence agencies. See this collection of links and this story on the French Parliament's reaction.

Others governments may well have their own Echelon-like projects. To quote the Dutch Minister of Defense, as reported in a German magazine:

The government believes not only the governments associated with Echelon are able to intercept communication systems, but that it is an activity of the investigative authorities and intelligence services of many countries with governments of different political signature.

Even if they have nothing on the scale of Echelon, most intelligence agencies and police forces certainly have some interception capability.

A proposal for international cooperation on Internet surveillance.

Because of alleged sabotage of security products by the NSA (the US signals intelligence agency), nations have reacted:

1) The German armed forces and some government departments stopped using American software for fear of NSA "back doors", according to this news story. 2) The British Regulation of Investigatory Powers bill. 3) A Russian ban on cryptography. 4) Chinese controls on net use. Even Google.

478.

The FBI's carnivore system for covert searches of e-mail. The government had an external review of some aspects of this system done.

Possible defenses against Carnivore include:

1) PGP for end-to-end mail encryption. 2) Secure send-mail for server-to-server encryption. \ 3) IPsec encryption on the underlying IP network. 4) Export laws restricting strong cryptography as a munition.

Various attempts to convince people that fundamentally flawed cryptography, such as encryption with a back door for government access to data or with inadequate key lengths, was adequate for their needs.

Of course, governments are by no means the only threat to privacy and security on the net. Other threats include:

1) Industrial espionage, as for example in this news story attacks by organized criminals, as in this large-scale attack 2) Collection of personal data by various companies. For example, consider the various corporate winners of Privacy International's Big Brother Awards. 3) Individuals may also be a threat in a variety of ways and for a variety of reasons, in particular, an individual with access to government or industry data collections could do considerable damage using that data in unauthorized ways.

HE: Add the occasional the ten-chicken eating Negro; the odd ruling Tojo; a diesel dyke or two; orange-haired reality show nitwits; some Muslim Negro bitch who has confused boobs for brains; a couple of baby-killing, anti-goyim feminists yentas; and, of course, their always hottie conservative-Christian whipping girl.

And guess who is their leader ?

NARRATOR: The Orb is still laughing.

479.

THE ORB: Hillary ?

HE: One is the liberal, anti-goy 'Butcher of Buchenwald' herself, Baba “I fucked around with a married Negro Senator, but that’s private” Wawa. The other, Chairman Mao’s casting couch granddaughter.

THE ORB (crying tears of laughter): It can't be that bad.

HE: Going easy Chained-Heat Hilly lover. It should be called “The Mass Hypnotist Talking Points of View ”.

THE ORB: What are they about ?

HE: That's just it, nothing, merely a bunch of misanthropic, Mass Hypnotist women trying to influence the world. Oprahlita empowerment times five times two.

THE ORB: Sounds like a Seinfeld episode with an agenda. It must be a sickness that causes you to see conspiracy in everything.

HE: You more than most should not say that. They once had this fitness instructor on. She squats down with Viagra or some other baby hacker, I'm not sure, and they spread their legs together and stretch.

THE ORB: What time is this show on ? Sounds interesting.

HE: Baba Wawa called it a lesbian position. Kids watch that show. Mass Hypnotists also have no class and are morally bankrupt. And to think, Mass Hypnotists say they have the moral high ground; when, in fact, their antics truly make us The Great Satan.

THE ORB: Dude, you've watched too much TV and way too much girl- girl porno, you know that ?

HE: Not now. And bull, that’s done to indoctrinate young girls to become real ClamBumpers.

THE ORB: Shut up, take a chew and a toke.

480.

HE: I'm too stoned. Names like Sarah Jessica Parker, Gloria Allred, Ellen Barkin, AJ Ginsburg, AJ Kagan, Sarah Silverman, Julia Lousy-Dreyfus and her $2.9B, Joy Behar, Wasserman-Shiznitz, Kathy Griffin, Debbie Mazur, Babs Boxer, Mila Kunis and Natalie Portman, Babs Streisand, Chelsea Handler, Maggie Gyllenhaal, Carrie Fisher, would “fit’ right in.

THE ORB: Good thing you are driving, you can't talk or even begin to walk. What about Janet ? How will she react to your decision ?

HE: She'd be a good host for “The Mass Hypnotist Talking Points of View” if they need a dumb fat white one who wasn’t a baby- killing, anti-Christian, taco-grinder. [Remembering what the old man said.] Ah shit, I gotta call her before she goes to Marsh Harbour with her folks again. One week alone, thank the Lord.

HE: Man, that hurricane was intense. I need a break.

NARRATOR: He stops at a BP Gas Station that is full of cars. It looks different.

He is met by a woman who seems to owns the station and they go inside to turn on the pumps so he can gas up the Tarnished Tank.

People, inside and out, sound like they are calling her Cat Woman; apparently, he believes, because she collects so many stray cats.

What looks to be about fifty feral cats roam the area. Her partner, he is told, is a man named Winslow Carp, who owns the Water Garden next door.

Cat Woman is 5'3" inches tall with a beehive hairdo that looked like the head of The Ambassador from Tim Burton's "Mars Attacks !" She wears big glasses and has a rough voice from smoking unfiltered camels for thirty years.

He sees Carp is also short, seems sarcastic, has a humpback, and is a know-it-all. One of his Koi Carp Water Gardens in front of the station.

481.

He walks in to get some juice while Cat Woman waits at the register.

CAT WOMAN: You look cool but don't screw with my cats, you got it ?

HE: Yes, ma'am. I’ll take $40 of regular.

NARRATOR: The sounds of "ack, ack, ack" echo from the seven a.m. drunks lining the bar.

CAT WOMAN: I've got more than 50 Feral cats. No breeds. I swear if one more nouveau riche snob comes in showing off a pedigree Persian I am going to scream. All my babies are trapped, spayed, or neutered.

We've got all types: Bossy-Cats, Flakes, Mommy-Cats, Problem- Solvers, Limit-Setters, Ringleaders, and mostly Skitty-Kitties because of the trapping, spaying and neutering. Takes 'em a couple of years to come around so don't mess with them.

NARRATOR: He gazes outside the rear of the store and sees numerous cats are lounging around the four fish ponds in the water garden in back of the station.

CAT WOMAN (calling our from behind the register): If you want a beer, we serve beer and wine at the bar.

HE: At a gas station ?

CAT WOMAN: What's wrong with that ? It's a BP. Mind the oil slick on the asphalt.

THE ORB: It's British, go ahead, have a beer.

HE: Not now, ma'am, thanks, just gas, and juice.

NARRATOR: He goes outside and as he is pumping gas, Carp comes out of the bar and points to a sign.

BASS: Follow that rule and you'll be good.

482.

HE (recites while reading): “Don't pet the fish, as it stresses them.”

CARP: That's right.

HE: Suppose the cats about to pounce on them create kitty Nirvana ?

BASS: The cats know the rules. Come on over to the back when you’re done and watch something cool.

NARRATOR: After he finishes at the pump, he walks to the back with Carp and as they get closer to the ponds his head gets light from the fresh air emitted by them as they absorb carbon dioxide.

He sees the beauty of these four creations. Each filled with the sweet smells and sights of yellow Hardy Lilies, small calico cats sleeping on two of the large Lotus pads with bright purple blooms, light purple Tropical Lilies, Jasmine, Flag Water Grass, Dwarf Cattails and Bean Bogs.

Inside each pond are scores of large Kois, fantail goldfish and tropical fish of all sorts.

Carp puts his hand in the water of a pond and a large Koi swims into it. Then takes the fish out of the water and strokes it gently, then returns it slowly to its home.

THE ORB: What the heck is he doing ?

CARP: Only I get to stroke them, no petting allowed. It does stress them.

NARRATOR: Stunned, he walks briskly inside, pays, and The Martian Ambassador gives back his change from the $40. He is about to leave when fate intervenes.

CAT WOMAN (squawks): You want to stay for the Texas Chili Cook-off ? We need an impartial judge.

THE ORB (whispers): We need to leave STAT.

483.

HE: It's chili, and I love chili.

THE ORB: Big mistake. Remember what happened to Frank ?

HE (to himself): Oh, yea. [Turns to Cat Woman.] Ma'am, I've got to go, your place is great but I am late.

BOOLE: These notes below are ones I took from the Internet about an inexperienced Chili taster named Frank, who was visiting Texas from New York City.

**Note: Please take the time and read this slowly. If you pay attention to the first two judges, the reaction of the third judge is even better. The notes are from an inexperienced Chili taster named Frank, who was visiting Texas from the East Coast.**

FRANK: Recently, I was honored to be selected as Judge #3 at a chili cook-off. The original person called in sick at the last moment and I happened to be standing there at the judge's table asking for directions to the Budweiser truck when the call came in.

I was assured by the other two judges, native Texans, that the chili wouldn't be all that spicy, and besides, they told me I could have free beer during the tasting, so I accepted.

Here are the scorecards from the event:

Chili # 1 - Mike's Maniac Mobster Monster Chili

Judge # 1 -- A little too heavy on the tomato. Amusing kick.

Judge # 2 -- Nice, smooth tomato flavor. Very mild.

Judge # 3 -- Holy shit ! What the hell is this stuff ? You could remove dried paint from your driveway with this muriatic acid. Took me two beers to put the flames out. I hope that's the worst one. These Texans are crazy.

Chili # 2 - Arthur's Afterburner Chili

484.

Judge # 1 -- Smoky, with a hint of pork. Slight jalapeno tang infused into the Serrano pepper-based sauce.

Judge # 2 -- Exciting BBQ flavor, needs more peppers to be taken seriously.

Judge #3 -- Hey, Pelosi, I found the WMDs. It’s your lost Botulinum toxin falling like slush from your paper mache face. This sarin is coursing through my colon and dripping out of my ass. My nose is spewing like "Old Faithful" and I'm not sure what I'm supposed to taste besides pain. Keep this toxic waste out of the reach of children. Jesus, what's the half-life of this plutonium ? I had to wave off two people who wanted to give me the Heimlich maneuver. They had to rush in more beer when they saw the look on my face.

Chili # 3 - Fred's Famous Burn Down the Barn Chili

Judge # 1 -- Excellent firehouse chili. Great kick. Needs more beans.

Judge # 2 -- An almost bean-less chili, a bit salty, good use of mild habanero peppers.

Judge #3 -- Call the fucking EPA, I've located a uranium spill ! My nose feels like I have been snorting Drano from the Love Canal. Everyone knows the routine by now. Get me more beer before I spontaneously combust. Sally, the rotund barmaid, just pounded me on the back, now my backbone is in the front part of my chest. I'm also getting shit-faced from all of the beer.

Chili # 4 - Bubba's Black Magic

Judge # 1 -- Black bean chili with almost no spice save the cayenne powder and Thai peppers. Disappointing.

Judge # 2 -- Hint of lime in the black beans. Good side dish for fish or other mild foods, not much of a chili.

Judge # 3 -- I felt something scraping across my tongue, but was unable to taste it. Week-old, possum roadkill tartare would taste good about now. My nose hairs are curling like dreadlocks. Is it

485. possible to burn out taste buds ? Sally, the aforementioned whale of a barmaid, was standing behind me with fresh pitcher refills. That 300-lb, Roseanne Barr-looking, Rosie O’Donnell-acting bitch is starting to look HOT. Just like this nuclear waste I'm eating. Is chili an aphrodisiac ?

Chili # 5 - Linda's Legal Lip Remover

Judge # 1 -- Meaty, strong chili. Cayenne peppers freshly ground, adding considerable kick and a delicate bouquet. Very impressive.

Judge # 2 -- Chili using shredded beef, could use more tomato. Must admit the cayenne peppers make a strong statement.

Judge # 3 -- My ears are ringing like the Gong Show and wax is running out of them. Sweat is pouring from my forehead and I can no longer focus as my eyes are crossed. I farted for about a minute and four people behind me needed paramedics. The contestant seemed offended when I told her that her chili had caused me more brain damage than Joe Biden evidently has. Sally saved my tongue from bleeding by pouring beer directly on it from the pitcher. I wonder if I'm burning my lips off. It pisses me off that the other judges are asked me to stop screaming. Screw these fucking, fly- over, Red State, rednecks.

Chili # 6 - Vera's Very Vegetarian Variety

Judge # 1 -- Thin, yet bold vegetarian variety chili. Good balance of spices, chipotle and Thai peppers tempered into a scotch bonnet puree.

Judge # 2 -- The best yet. Delicate blend of peppers, onions, and garlic forms a subtle warmth and aroma. Just superb.

Judge # 3 -- Jesus, Mary and Joseph, my intestines are now a straight pipe filled with gaseous, sulfuric flames. I shit myself when I farted. The offending ooze would fill a large adult diaper and I'm worried it will eat through the chair like molecular acid from the movie "Alien." No one seems inclined to stand behind me except that Orca-sized slut Sally. She must be kinkier than I thought. Can't feel my lips anymore and I need to wipe my ass with a Coney Island snow cone.

486.

Chili # 7 - Susan's Screaming Orgasm Chili

Judge # 1 -- A mediocre chili with too much reliance on canned habanero peppers.

Judge # 2 -- Ho hum, tastes as if the chef literally threw in a can of chili peppers at the last moment, though the addition of a few fresh scotch bonnet peppers as a garnish added some tang. I should take note that I am worried about Judge #3. He appears to be in a bit of distress as he is cursing uncontrollably.

Judge # 3 -- Call some dyke at Homeland Security ! Fuck me, you could put a grenade in my mouth, pull the pin, and I wouldn't feel a thing. I've lost sight in one eye, and the world sounds like it is made of rushing water. My shirt is covered with chili which slid unnoticed out of my Hiroshima-looking mouth. My pants are full of lava-like shit to match my shirt. At least during the autopsy, they'll know what killed me. I've decided to stop breathing, it’s too painful. Screw it, I'm not getting any oxygen anyway. If I need air, I'll just suck it in through the 4-inch hole in my stomach.

Chili # 8 - Tommy's Toe-Nail Curling Chili

Judge # 1 -- The perfect ending, this is a nice blend chili of the previous three. Not too bold, but spicy enough to declare its existence to its peers.

Judge # 2 -- This final entry is a good, balanced chili. Neither mild, nor hot. Sorry to say that most of it was lost when Judge #3 started screaming, "Allah Akbar, you communist, Kenyan cocksucker," then passed out, fell over and pulled the chili pot down on top of himself.

THE ORB: Yes, and how do you figure ?

HE (snaps): Excuse me, you didn't listen.

THE ORB: Oh ad hominem digression, you're going places in this Mass Hypnotist world.

HE: Settle down, inhale.

THE ORB: Now we’re thinking

HE: Look, stupid, first off, Charlotte Rampling's character Dorrie exhibited a striking resemblance to Mildred, Maugham's classic femme fatale. Can anyone say Janet ? Isabelle in Memories was comparable to Sally, the milk-maiden who gave Philip Carey's life balance at the end of Bondage. I just haven't found my milk maiden yet.

THE ORB:: Yea, that's it, you've figured it out, a milk maiden, good move.

HE: Picking up your sarcasm. What if it were chocolate milk, and I was Carey ?

THE ORB: Cows do not produce chocolate milk. Are you that stoned ?

HE: Khat must be kicking in early. Most men, even me, are all Sandy Bates, who was Allen's troubled Philip Carey. Especially involving the parallel relationships between Sandy and Dorrie and Philip and Mildred.

THE ORB: Don't you forget to write to Soon Ye.

THE ORB: She's been through so much. Pity.

HE (coughing, laughing and exhaling a serious billow of smoke): What ?

THE ORB: Do you wonder sometimes if Hilarious Clinton is either congenitally stupid, irretrievably insane, a strap-on lesbian, hopelessly in love, a hapless pawn, or some Machiavellian genius ?

HE(snickers): Probably an amalgam of all.

THE ORB: How could that woman stay married to a man for more than 30 years when he has had more women go down on him during their marriage than the Titanic ? Probably more than Hugh Hefner ever did as a bachelor.

HE: Hot, femme, bisexual interns ?

THE ORB: Have you ever read Orpheus Descending by Tennessee Williams ?

HE: Was that Clinton and orifice descending ?

THE ORB: Cute. Well, the premise of the play is just such an occurrence.

HE: Hillary Clinton is that old ?

THE ORB (groans): No, Peter Tosh. It spells out Hilarious in black and white. She must want to seriously kill Bill. Most women would pull a Lorena Bobbitt on such an infidel. But, people can and do live together in hate. Their beloved Trouser-Trout and Chained- Heat have something in common. Can you say Woods and James ?

HE: The Clintons ? What do they have, matching subpoenas ?

489.

THE ORB: Power. Or, at least they did. Haven't you seen white women socially prostitute themselves for money or status ? Marrying mismatches or having illegitimate babies for profit or the accumulation of power, year after year after year.

Only for her, it was the building up of power, favors, position, and influence in every town she happens to reside in government housing in.

HE: You are reaching.

THE ORB: Oh ? They go to the right churches, belong to the respective social clubs, join the secret societies.

HE (jokes): Like the Bilderbergers, or Bohemian Grove.

THE ORB: Correct, and the CFR, World Bank, WMF, and the TriLateral Commission. All this while entertaining the populism necessary to ensure a life on the respectable public dole. Yea, power must be a drug and she must be hooked. But I wonder what her first hit, shot, or bump of power was ? What addicted her to this in the face of marital insult after marital insult ? Think back to the Watergate scandal. Remember Hillary's role ?

HE: No, was she a Plumber ?

THE ORB: Almost, but not quite. She was an attorney for the Democrats and was supposed to develop a prior misconduct defense paper for Nixon and the Watergate mess.

HE: Prior misconduct defense ?

THE ORB: You know, show the history of presidential misbehavior as it applies to him so he could fight impeachment.

HE: What did she do ?

THE ORB: She buried Tricky-Dicky, and showed only Republican presidents as malfeasant. Remember that memo about how she didn't even want Nixon to have a lawyer ? She and Willie have had power for a long time. She must have been a clairvoyant and keeps no written record, journal or diary on anything. But power is a

To get more of it, you will cheat at every turn, spy on people, use physical intimidation, character assassination, sue, blackmail, voter fraud, ruin the lives of the honest, trustworthy and loyal opposition, create hysteria with Tony Robbins mendacity in order to obfuscate, and if the need is called.

BOOLE: The Silent Soldier - By G. A. Codling

A soldier crawls along a forest floor. A match grade barrel to do his chore. Blending with the woodland scene. He leaves no trace of where he's been.

A single task occupies his mind. To the outside world, he is blind. One single task, one single goal. Only his mission occupies his soul.

He moves into the open grass. The enemy patrol makes a searching pass although they look, they can not see the man moving out from

491.

a distant tree.

One hour, two, three then four. He only moves a few feet more Zero hour is getting near. He knows his target will soon appear.

A single man he has been sent to kill and on his hands this man's blood will spill. The moment is now, the target's in site. Taking up the first pressure the shoot feels right.

One ounce more on the trigger sear. The bullet races away like a high-speed spear. It races throw the air with a thunderous crack. There's a fountain of blood as it exits the man's back.

The silence is deafening, there is not a single sound, as the shooter removes the case of the single spent round. His task now done he fades back into the wood. His only trace is a body wear a man once stood.

BOOLE: He was born a slave in about 1860. In the American Civil War, raiders swept through southwestern Missouri. They seized his slave mother and her baby on a slave-run farm near Diamond, Mo. The slaver reportedly got the baby back in exchange for a $300 racehorse, but the mother was not found. The "caring" slaver named the motherless child after himself.

The young man did not grow strong enough to work in the fields, but he did household chores. In the garden, he had the ability to make the weakest plants flourish. He had been freed from slavery for several years before he left the slave owners to get an education. He began his education in a one-room school for black children 14.5km (9 mi) from his home.

Doing cooking, laundry, and odd jobs, he worked his way through high school in Kansas. In 1889 he enrolled at Simpson College in Indianola, Iowa and earned the $12 yearly tuition by working as a cook.

Although his ambition was to be an artist as he had considerable talent as both musician and painter he decided to study horticulture and earned (1896) a master's degree at Iowa State

495.

College of Agriculture and Mechanic Arts (now Iowa State University) at Ames.

His achievements with plants brought him to the attention of another former slave who founded the Tuskegee Institute in Alabama. That same year (1896) he accepted an invitation to head the newly formed department of agriculture at Tuskegee Institute, now Tuskegee University in Tuskegee, Alabama.

He spent the rest of his life at Tuskegee, slowly creating a laboratory, rebuilding the exhausted land around the Institute and pursuing research. In his 47 years there, the great plant scientist did notable work in scientific agriculture and chemurgy (the industrial use of raw products from plants). Much of the farming land of the South had been depleted as a result of the intensive cultivation of cotton and tobacco so he experimented with nitrogen-producing legumes and found that peanuts and sweet potatoes both improved the soil and grew abundantly in the South. To find new uses for these crops, he was said to have developed over three hundred by-products: cereals, oils, dyes, soaps, and food substitutes.

In addition to being America's premier botanist and chemist he helped bring prosperity to large areas of the impoverished southern United States, even forming his notable "school on wheels," a traveling classroom that taught Alabama farmers the basics of soil enrichment.

In 1940, he gave his life savings to establish his Foundation for research in agricultural chemistry. His fame as a scientist and educator grew throughout the world, and when he died at Tuskegee, on June 5, 1943, he was one of America's most honored scientists. Ten years after his death in Tuskegee on Jan. 5, 1943, the slave farm that was his birthplace was dedicated as a national monument.

This truly brilliant, under-appreciated W, turned down $100K a year in the 1930s from Thomas Edison to keep his $1200 dollar-a- year position at Tuskegee and to many was the greatest Agronomist since Salon.

Today he would have been a rallying voice in the fight for the American Farmer getting it sideways from Carter-Reagan-Bush- Clinton-Bush-Cousin It.

496.

Two million family farms down to 50,000 so that the Farm Bills pay rich corporations, PAs and lawyers NOT to grow crops that could build and run automobiles.

Hybrid cars are just a rich, liberal playtime ploy. Hydrogen and propane are gasses and still screw the farmer for the big boys ! Agri-fuels like Ethanol do not work and burn out engines.

As an irony, Cousin It requires 40% of all corn produced in the U.S. to be set-aside for useless ethanol that burns so hot you lose gas mileage. That corn “collectivizing” caused meat prices to skyrocket since corn is a feed crop for hearty cows and even Mexicans suffer from shortages of corn tortillas.

Corn was given to us by Native Americans and Agronomy and Chemurgy by former slaves.

And how did America repay this savant who was born a slave, taken from his parents, and who gave his all to agronomy and science and his beloved South, Alabama, and the Tuskegee Institute founded by another genius born a slave ?

We performed another atrocity: The Tuskegee Syphilis Study.

HE: Just like you. You were the last liberal American atrocity until the Mass Hypnotists reappeared.

THE ORB: Don't be angry at them anymore, you can see I am not.

10011000011111000101011010010001

BOOLE: Faced with the test of scientific observation -- and not just ivory tower speculation -- the Big Bang theory always fails.

According to plasma physicist Eric Lerner from his book The Big Bang Never Happened:

It predicts that there should be no objects in the universe older than 20 billion years and larger than 150 million light-years across. There are. It predicts that the universe, on such a large scale, should be smooth and homogeneous. The universe isn’t. The

497. theory predicts that to produce the galaxies we see around us from the tiny fluctuations evident in the microwave background, there must be a hundred times as much dark matter as visible matter. There’s no evidence that there’s any dark matter at all. And if there is no dark matter, the theory predicts, no galaxies will form. Yet there are, scattered across the sky. We live in one. (Lerner, 1991, pp. 39-40).

An alternative to the Big Bang theory of the origin of the universe has been proposed by Nobel laureate and Swedish cosmologist Hannes Alfvén. His theory of “plasma cosmology” assumes that “the universe has always existed and always evolved, and will exist and evolve for an infinite time to come” (Lerner, 1991, p. 41). There is no creation ex nihilo because there is no creation, period. Matter has always existed and evolved. The universe is eternally progressive.

A major difference between conventional Big Bang cosmology and Alfvén’s more radical plasma cosmology is that the plasma universe is formed and controlled on the large-scale not only by gravitation (as Big Bang theory, following the theory of relativity assumes) but also by electricity and magnetism. Galactic formation is a natural consequence of plasma dynamics because, as even laboratory experiments demonstrate, plasmas become inhomogeneous spontaneously.

Tiny electromagnetic vortices, “plasma whirlwinds”, curl their way through the plasma field, carrying electric currents.

According to Lerner: Magnetic fields and currents can concentrate matter and energy far faster and more effectively than can gravity. The magnetic force of a plasma thread increases with the velocity of the plasma. This leads to a feedback effect: as threads are pulled into the vortex, they move faster, which increases the force on the threads of current and pulls them still faster into the filament.... The idea that space is alive with networks of electrical currents and magnetic fields was confirmed by observation and gradually accepted (Lerner, 1991, p. 44). Some of the predictions from Alfvén’s plasma cosmology include “currents streaming along slender filaments toward the galactic core, from which intense bursts of radiation were emitted” (Lerner, 1991, p. 48).

498.

Another plasma cosmologist, Tony Peratt, from San Diego’s Maxwell Laboratory, predicted that galactic filaments should be about 100,000 light years across, and about a billion light-years long. Galaxies should be strung out along these filaments. This is exactly what Brent Tully and J. R. Fischer observed in the seventies.

Plasma cosmology accounts for the three central pieces of evidence for the Big Bang: the Hubble expansion (red-shift), 3°K microwave background radiation, and helium abundance. And further, to the extent that Big Bang cosmology encounters observational evidence contrary to the explanations of these phenomena within the Big Bang theory, plasma cosmology can provide ready explanations.

Once more, from Lerner:

The first two phenomena [helium abundance and microwave background] can be explained by the same cause—massive stars generated in the formation of galaxies. In 1978, Cambridge astrophysicist Martin J. Rees had proposed that such stars would, in a few hundred million years, produce the 24 percent helium now observed; having transformed part of the hydrogen fuel into helium, they would explode into supernova, distributing the helium through space.

Later, smaller stars would then form out of this helium-enriched gas. The energy the massive stars produced would be absorbed by interstellar dust, which would then emit the microwave background (Lerner, 1991, p. 50).

Big Bang supporters objected that the events proposed by plasma theory would result in warm spots in the background radiation wherever newly-formed galaxies happened to be. Yet observation shows it to be entirely smooth. Alfvén responded by showing that electrons in intergalactic magnetic fields could absorb microwave radiation and then reemit it. In this way, “the radiation would be smoothed out” (Lerner, 1991, p. 50).

As for the Hubble expansion, Alfvén offered a scenario which does not require a Big Bang. Lerner points out that the assumption, held by many cosmologists, that just because the Big Bang requires expansion, that expansion requires a Big Bang is simply bad logic.

499.

Thus the observational evidence for cosmic expansion does not necessarily imply a Big Bang. There are other possible explanations, and Alfvén’s plasma cosmology provide one.

Many billions of years ago the small corner of the infinite universe that we can observe started to contract, under the influence of its own gravity. When it was about a tenth its present size, matter and antimatter started to mix, annihilating each other and generating huge quantities of energetic electrons and positrons. Trapped in magnetic fields, these particles drove the plasma apart over hundreds of millions of years. The explosions were small enough not to disrupt previously formed filaments of plasma, so these far more ancient objects still exist today, in expanded form—just as designs printed on a balloon persist while it is inflated.... But this was in no way a Big Bang that created matter, space, and time. It was just a big bang, an explosion in one par of the universe (Lerner, 1991, p. 52).

In other words, given the observational evidence, there are other explanations that do not involve the creation ex nihilo myth, inherited from Augustinian Christianity, central to the Big Bang cosmology story.

Besides Alfvén’s plasma cosmology, of infinite space and time, suffused by huge vortices and filaments of electromagnetic energy in addition to gravity, other plausible cosmological scenarios have been put forward. For example, in the 1940s (and recently revised) British astrophysicists Fred Hoyle, Herman Bondi, and Thomas Gold proposed a “steady state” model, which involved the notion of “continuous creation”.

Instead of one massive creation event, from nothing, the steady state theory posits an indefinite number of microscopic creations of hydrogen atoms. Hoyle, et al, claim that their theory can account for the observed ratios of hydrogen, helium, and deuterium, and, as in Alfvén’s model, the microwave background is due to a comparatively recent supernova explosions.

From this cursory overview and critique of Big Bang cosmology, it is clear that the theory has some serious problems where it conflicts with observational evidence. In order to avoid the charge of dogmatism and scientism, Big Bang cosmologists need to address these difficulties. In addition to the problem of a

500. conflict with scientific evidence, the notion of a Big Bang origin of the universe as a creation from nothing poses a profound philosophical conundrum—if not absurdity.

In the space of any scientific essay, it is not possible to present in detail the serious Nature of the problems facing Big Bang theory, or to explore the philosophical difficulties. But one hopes that one at least succeeded in establishing a “case for the prosecution”. The Big Bang is under suspicion, there is evidence of illegitimacy, and the case should be brought to trial for open, public scrutiny. Anyone interested in pursuing further either aspect of the controversy—scientific or philosophical—should go to the sources mentioned at the beginning of this essay.

For the scientific argument, read Lerner’s The Big Bang Never Happened, and for the philosophical context, read Mendoza’s The Acentric Labyrinth. Each book presents a superb historical context for its respective subject matter.

The greatest story of our time—our origins, development, and destiny myth, our cosmology story—may fail us because it cannot offer us the kind of meaning we desire. It cannot offer us a preservation myth.

A story that ends by annihilating all trace of its ever having been told, is not the kind of story by which meaning-seeking souls survive and thrive. We need another story. This is a good one.

The boat slowly pulls towards the now retreating fish. Only the anchor saves them from being dragged down Davy Jones Locker to death's door. The Cap'n stood behind him, holding onto him with his good arm.

What seems like three days later, and almost as if on que, the fish, his head still in the net, turns again, heads back to them and leaps out of the water and over the stern of the skiff. He was able to grab the handle of the net, pulling him, rod and net in hand, and the bungee cord-attached cooler further into the water and along the muck.

It smelled like a seriously low tide on the Summer Solstice.

He felt an irresistible drawing to a place; one he had never seen before in the city of Matlacha.

THE ORB: It’s close, real close. Look for it, it is hidden in the back of the woods near the German-America Social Club.

BOOLE: Matlacha was an old-Florida, island community from last accountings. It connected Pine Island to the Gestapo of Cape Coma.

It was different now, the trailers were gone, the fisherman, the farmers, as well as the squatters that made Florida a pioneer state. Now there were condos and Yankee owners, as there had been ruining Bokeelia previously.

When Matlacha and Bokeelia get their collective butts kicked by a hurricane, none of the denizens seem to pay much attention to the devastation, dysentery, the mildew, the mold spore, the melaleuca trees, and the allergens given off by rotten horticulture unless it interferes with happy hours.

After all, this was not Sanibel and Captiva Islands. The Mass Hypnotists Hell sissies, who gripe about not being allowed back on their island homes -- but who at least have one to go home to -- needed to look at the biblical devastation heaped upon Charlotte County and the city of Punta Gorda.

The Whole numbers are created through addition, basic to sensing, and through subtraction, basic to the spirit, the path in the unknown future.

505.

Another well known fractal dimension lies between a line and a plane, the first and second dimension. It is called the Sierpinski Gasket after mathematician Waclav Sierpinski and has a fractal dimension of 1.58.

You can create it by starting with an equilateral triangle and remove the open central upside down equilateral triangle with half the side length of the starting triangle. This leaves three half size triangles. Then repeat the process on the remaining half size triangles, and so forth ad infinitum. The remaining form has infinite lines but is less than a plane.

Since Fractal forms are also found in the body -- the best examples are the arteries and veins in mammalian vascular systems as well as the bronchi of the human lung which self-similar over 15 successive bifurcations -- this area of biological research is just beginning.

Chaotician Michael McGuire refers to recent discoveries in brain research which suggest that a fractal structure based on hexagons may be how the receptive fields of the visual cortex are organized. The smallest hexagons correspond to the cells of the retina and perception of fine details, the larger hexagons organize the underlying layers to recognize progressively coarse detail.

BOOLE: Poison pill is a term referring to any strategy, generally in business or politics, to increase the likelihood of negative results over positive ones for a party that attempts any kind of takeover.

In a democratic system, fiscal or budgetary policies that are designed by an incumbent administration to make things more difficult for the next administration have been referred to as fiscal poison pills.

The man resembled a People's Park, Berkeley radical; but suffering from a sort of Yippee arrested development. Someone mired in a long lost generation way past its usefulness. He liked him almost at once.

COYOTE: Can I help you ?

HE: Are you Rubin ?

COYOTE: No, man, I'm Coyote Peters.

HE: Nice to meet you, ah, Coyote. What exactly is this tour ?

COYOTE: Well, man, see, like we hunt, you know, deer, bears, and wild boar but we don't use guns.

507.

THE ORB (bemused): Oh my God, hippie Southerners. Can you deep-fry organic lettuce ?

HE: What kind of weapons, longbow ?

COYOTE: No, man, we annoy them.

HE: Pardon ?

COYOTE: Yea, it's a stone gas. Come on back and see if you want to try it.

THE ORB: Seems Woodstock is alive and well. Bet he can tell you all about the hoax of Christianity. Probably has the Ossuary of Jesus too.

NARRATOR: Peters turns and looks at him as if he heard that last comment.

COYOTE: No, soul brother, I am so far removed from all that antidisestablishmentarian, counterculture, rules for radicals dogma now. Truly free, bro. Come on. [Peters stops in his tracks and yelps.] Hold it !

NARRATOR: There is a gust of air that stops them cold.

COYOTE: In this state, the only authority I respect is the wind, and all it brings, and all it takes.

NARRATOR: As the wind dies, Coyote takes him to the shed in the back and shows off the weapons of choice. Not a gun or bow to be found, just whistles, slingshots, blowguns and water balloons.

HE: What the heck ?

COYOTE (coughing out the remnants of last bong hit in the 90s): Bro, we track 'em and wait for them to show. Then, when they least expect it, we hit 'em with water soluble, eatable colors in balloons, soft pellets, or blow whistles near their ears, but mostly we laugh at them.

HE: Why do that ?

508.

THE ORB: Guess you could say they send them Helter Skelter.

COYOTE: To annoy them. Didn't you read the sign ? Sometimes we just yell loud and laugh nonstop at them.

NARRATOR: On the wall is a picture of what looks to be another BCE Fascist.

HE: Who is that ?

COYOTE: One of our Founding Fathers, and at least the bastard didn’t turn conservative in the 80s.

THE ORB: Oh know. That means that he would have been a neo, a true N-word.

COYOTE: Worse, it was the economy stupid, now, it’s the economy uber alles.

HE: How right you are, these are worse than their Red Diaper Babies, they are N-words.

BOOLE: David Horowitz (born January 10, 1939) was born to a Jewish family in Forest Hills, New York and is a writer and political commentator. He was prominent in the American New Left movement but today holds staunchly conservative views but now referred to as a "lapsed leftist". He is currently a writer for the conservative magazine NewsMax and his own FrontPageMag.com.

HE (interrupts): The anti-Alinsky. Smarter than Chomsky. Probably golem to the BCE Fascist, worker-socialists who pray for his death because he exposed their violent culture -- as well as the dirty little secrets they hide out of vindictive manipulation.

BOOLE: May I continue ? His parents Phil and Blanche Horowitz were schoolteachers in Sunnyside Gardens, Queens, New York City and raised their son in a strict Stalinist environment. Horowitz went to Columbia University as an undergraduate, later taking a Master's degree in English literature at the University of

509.

California, Berkeley. Horowitz became a prominent member of the New Left movement in the United States a break with the earlier Communist Party USA.

After moving to California, Horowitz became a Marxist supporter of the various leftist causes of the 1960s and 1970s. He worked for the Bertrand Russell Peace Foundation and authored several books on Marxian interpretations of history, as well as serving as an editor of the radical magazine Ramparts. He also provided help to the Black Panthers and became a confidant of its leader Huey Newton.

As the years went on, however, Horowitz became very disillusioned with some of the tactics of the American Left, especially after one of his close friends, Betty Van Patter, was murdered in 1974. Horowitz attributes her murder to the Panthers; no one was charged or arrested, and the case remains unsolved. Horowitz's thinking gradually became more conservative, and today he is regarded as a leading conservative advocate. Among the key events he credits with his intellectual transformation were the aftermath of the Vietnam War and the AIDS crisis. He has written about his transformation in an autobiography, Radical Son, and Left Illusions.

Horowitz's transition from a left-wing to a right-wing position is said to be shared in common by many other, and mostly Jewish, neoconservatives. Horowitz, for his part, strongly rejects the "neoconservative" label.

Horowitz is a prominent opponent of affirmative action programs in the United States; he once distributed an essay titled "Slavery Reparations are a bad idea, and racist too" to more than 50 college and university student newspapers. Though the essay was offered as a paid advertisement, it nonetheless sparked protests and few papers accepted it. His "crusade against intolerance and racial McCarthyism on college campuses" inspired the book Uncivil Wars.

Academic Bill of Rights Horowitz, along with some Republican leaders, has been promoting his "Academic Bill of Rights," an eight-point manifesto that seeks to eliminate alleged political bias in university hiring and grading. Horowitz claims that liberal bias in universities amounts to indoctrination and

510. charges that conservatives and particularly Republicans are systematically excluded from faculties. In spite of Horowitz's insistence that this is different from an affirmative action program for conservatives, many liberals believe it is essentially just that.

As if to highlight his assertions of anti-conservative bias at college campuses, Horowitz was attacked with a pie in the face by left-wing activists during a lecture given at Butler University just days after similar incidents at Western Michigan University, during a speech by Pat Buchanan, and at Earlham College, during a speech given by Bill Kristol.

NARRATOR: Dolphin, or porpoises for the tree-huggers, show up not to rescue little Timmy like Lassie, -- or even Elian as he has gone back to commie school in commie land thanks to Janet Reno and the DOJ -- but to eat any redfish one might accidentally snag like any residential, Ocean Reef, Robber Baron would a crustless

511. canape.

They are mean, they are aggressive. As with any animal, the female is always more dangerous with an offspring as they are protective of its life.

HE: So, I was right, humans aren’t animals, after all.

THE ORB: Digression.

NARRATOR: A plump, roe-laden, ten-pound redfish is like a Norwegian sardine, sans mustard, to a full-grown dolphin. A 7-11 Big Gulp with spots.

There's never a tuna fishing fleet around when you need one. Sometimes, when you are bored pretend mahi-mahi is the mammal on your sandwich.

That said, you have two choices when Flipper comes:

One, you can kill the dolphin as you would the manatee but you will pay a quarter million dollar fine and serve more years in jail than the ultra-guilty Geronimo Pratt, Hurricane Carter and OJ should have; or two, move to another spot away from the useless air breathers.

Flipper went straight for the redfish and leaped over the skiff's stern.

The redfish had already pulled him some twenty feet from the boat and they were headed for the deep water of the channel. Because of the thick storm, he could barely make out the Cap'n's voice.

QUEEG: Hold on, don't let go !

HE: No kidding.

NARRATOR: Queequeg Smith was fishing the other side of Regla Island when he heard the commotion. He appeared out of the rain, as if by providence, boat fully throttled.

As his avocation was the restoration of aquatic antiques, he stood

512. tall at the pristine console, restored antic harpoon in his right hand, bounding over the high waves, and heading straight for him.

QUEEQUEG: I'll slay the beast !

QUEEG: We ain't splitting the prize.

HE (muttering in the mud): What's this we shit, redneck ? [In an irate voice:] Kill the fucking red bastard !

Swish, Swish

HE (screaming to himself): Neocons !

THE ORB: Maybe so, but does the name Tex “Born Again” Watson ring a familiar bell ?

HE: This annoying tour is not so bad. After all, a wild boar's ass is about the size as Barbara Streisand's.

THE ORB: Or Michelle, only not over-dressed, and eats about as bad as she and Cousin It wanted our kids to.

HE (to Peters): Doesn't that anger the animals ?

COYOTE: Oh yea, annoys the shit out of them. Which is the idea, we don't wanna hurt them.

HE: So just who is Rubin Hoffman ?

COYOTE: Was. One of my former Yippee partners. Basically, we just went from commune to commune and fucked the brains out of the hottest, dumb, shiksa sluts we bullshitted about free-love.

HE: What happened to your friends ?

COYOTE: One became a vitamin salesman and got run over by a car, while the other committed suicide a few years ago.

513.

THE ORB: This is not such a shock.

HE: I'm sorry to hear that. When exactly did you come on this idea for your business ?

NARRATOR: Peters sits next to the row of whistles and takes a chew of tobacco.

COYOTE: Well, man, me and an old hippie friend named Full Moondog, we were like naked on Kodiak Island, in Alaska, man. I think in '69 and we were buzzing hard on purple microdot.

Well, one day, Moondog says we should go out and see nature. Dude, there were these hunters shooting who knows what so we stole their shit, man, threw their guns away and set up this tree stand about 15 feet up to see the sites.

HE: That's when you decided to not use guns ?

COYOTE: No, shit no, a 16-foot Kodiak bear snuck up and snatched Moon right out and had him for lunch. Bro, it blew my tripping mind as I was walking away, you know, Moondog screaming for me to help him and all. So then I said from now on I was going to annoy the animal for revenge. Anyway, you wanna tour ?

THE ORB: Does the name Timothy Treadwell ring a familiar bell ? [Imitates Treadwell.] It’s his poooooop.

HE: Sure, why not.

NARRATOR: In the background, he hears motorcycles and the Orb appears worried.

THE ORB: Is it them ?

COYOTE: Who, the Imams and Caliphs ?

HE: You know about them ?

COYOTE: Yea, only an irretrievably stupid, mildly retarded moron would put himself, or others, in harm’s way between those groups of religious zealots.

514.

THE ORB: I don’t know. Sounds like a hell of a lot of them, though.

NARRATOR: In the distant field a lone, naked figure appears on a Harley motorcycle. It is a naked woman in her sixties. She doesn’t look quite as sexy as she did in the desert 35 years ago.

THE ORB: So that’s what saddlebags are for.

NARRATOR: She stops next to the two men.

NAKED GRANNY (to him): Hey, you wanna get it on ?

THE ORB (hysterics): Oh, BDSM with a walker, that ought to be enough for any adult website.

HE: Noooooo, I gotta go get a barium enema. Thanks much for both offer though.

COYOTE: You sure, man ? That’s my old lady Sadie. We call her Squeaky.

NARRATOR: He freezes, but Coyote continues to droll on and on.

HE: That gives new meaning to the saying, “Birth, Copulate, then Die”.

COYOTE: Yea, man. Hey, you want some blotter from an old Dead tour ?

HE: No thanks, I'm driving.

COYOTE: You're going to his place, aren't you ? Bobby Milk’s.

HE: Where ?

COYOTE (smiling): Bobby Milk’s. It doesn’t matter, brother. All the world is a stage and it is coming to its final curtain soon. Just stay off the bridge in Matlacha city proper. Some heavy shit is gonna be happening here.

515.

HE (leaving in a hurry): Telly !

THE ORB: Hippies ain't that dumb after all.

BOOLE: According to Stanislavsky, an important aspect of building a character pertains to the subtext. The subtext is the meaning behind the words of the text. For Stanislavsky, the subject is the inward "Life of a human spirit... " that constantly flows under the words of a role. Words are only a part of a given moment on stage and are related to thoughts, bodily expressions, and images. Actors need to see images and transmit those images to the acting partner. Images need to grow in detail and become richer.

To Stanislavsky, the actors in realistic plays should incarnate their roles, should live their parts. According to Stanislavsky, a technique was needed that would guide the actor and still create a favorable condition for the appearance of "inspiration."

His system does not consist of a fixed set of rules but a practical approach to the physical and mental preparation of the actor to the creation of the character. Some important aspects of the Stanislavsky system included: a) learning to relax and avoid distraction, b) develop the imagination and the ability to memorize sensory details, and c) develop a naivete in the imagined truth of the stage. He called this the magic of creative "if."

Stanislavsky's system was taken to the United States, and combined with Gestalt and 30's liberals who were disgusted with "show business" and bent on social change, was transformed into the process called "Method Acting" that is often criticized for merely emphasizing the "inner life" at the expense of total development.

Some tenets of Method Acting derived from the Stanislavsky system include: verisimilitude (reproduce a credible reality), seeking logical character behavior (psychological soundness), justification and super-objective (motivation), expression of true emotion, drawing on the self, ensemble acting, improvisation and use of objects.

Of the aforementioned tenets that which is the most controversial

516. is verisimilitude and the use, or misuse of it through what is termed Richard Boleslavsky's (a student of Stanislavsky at the Moscow theatre who emigrated to America and formed the American Laboratory Theater along with Maria Ouspenskaya in the 1920s.) "affective memory" or the calling or revisiting previously felt emotions.

"Affective memory" is a theory, not fact, that if one is quite relaxed, one can think back to a certain incident in your life which moved you strongly at that time, and if you can remember and recreate it in your mind during the physical circumstances of that moment (where you were, who was there with you, what happened, the time of day, the place and surroundings) and start reliving it, that it is possible that a feeling similar to what you felt at that time will occur.

The actor employs "affective memory" by using sensory exercises to retrieve the parallel feelings or emotion that parallels the former. The actor is not concerned with how the emotion will manifest itself, only finding it and creating the sensory realities that will unlock the memory.

When affective memory is tapped, the mental processes set in motion do cause psycho physical responses that stimulate the player's physical and mental being with remembered sensations and emotions that color his behavior and vocal expression in ways that both the actor and the audience experience as real and exciting.

This is what gives Method Acting its "aliveness" or verisimilitude.

NARRATOR: He sees yet another biracial couple together and attempts to speak.

HE: Not again, MTV is working overtime. Who needs that AIDS, rape, and violent crime. It’s Wichita and Knoxville times 1,000,000.

THE ORB: You are a blind fool, and I've got just the place for you. Your time is now.

517.

HE: Time for what ?

THE ORB: Pull over, right now.

NARRATOR: There they were in front of the Great Attractor. An austere club with a small, hard-to-read sign that bore its name.

"Bobby Milk’s"

He walked passed it, without noticing at first, but then turns quickly as if thunderstruck by an epiphany.

HE: Bobby Milk’s ? So, this is it.

THE ORB: Let's go in.

HE: Why not, what have I got to lose ?

HE (gawking about): What the fuck ?

NARRATOR: He enters and sees nothing but tall black women. Real babes. Each looking like a cross between Vanessa Williams, Pam Grier, Halle Berry, and Holly Robinson-Peete.

All were wearing tight, white, painted-on spandex pants on very small waists and high tight asses. Each woman had one gold ankle bracelet and one silver wrist bracelet, matching small diamonds in silver and gold earrings, red “fuck me silly” pumps; and were all bra-less, wearing only a tight red pullover shirt over their natural 34-38 C-D-DD and E cup wonderments. And they smelled like a clean spring dawn morning.

BOOLE: The last natural blondes will die out within 200 years, scientists believe. A study by experts in Germany, says the BBC, suggests people with blonde hair are an endangered species and will become extinct by 2202.

Researchers predict the last truly natural blonde will be born in Finland - the country with the highest proportion of blondes. But they say too few people now carry the gene for blondes to last beyond the next two centuries. The problem is that blonde hair is caused by a recessive gene. In order for a child to have blonde hair, it must have the recessive gene on both sides of the family in the grandparent’s generation.

The UN-sponsored this study then disavowed it. However, many believe it, because it was based on the racial implications of the UN and U.S. military's post-WWII plan for the heterogeneous mixing of races to stop various homogeneous nationalism, and how this has caused a true holocaust against this one very smoking-hot variety.

HE: Why couldn’t we have Sweden and Finland as our next door neighbors ?

THE ORB: Ain't many blondes in Mexico, that’s for sure.

INT. BOBBY MILK’S - DAY

HE: To die for.

NARRATOR: They were all redbone to dark and of a smooth complexion, tall, legs longer than a Typhoon sub, and an ass so high and bubbled that you could lay a cribbage board and two mimosas on it.

The bar has soft throw rugs, and pillows all over the wooden floor, was completely mirrored on three sides, and a fireplace blazing next to the bar where the only other male in the place was bartending.

519.

He stood under a large Expressionist Painting that hung behind the center of the bar.

The music is Big Band Swing and the 33 or so drop-dead gorgeous lipstick femmes are dancing the Twist to Benny Goodman's "Sing, Sing, Sing" as Gene Krupa wails on the drums.

He was stunned at the sight of this chocolate Valhalla. There were no men at all, save for him and the bartender.

He turns to one of the redbone babes and attempts conversation.

HE: What is the name of this place ?

REDBONE: Bobby Milk's. Like the sign you just read. Or, can’t you read ?

THE ORB (snickering): Shot down more times than a Zero by a Fork- Tailed Black Devil.

NARRATOR: However, they all appeared to coo with the same sultry, gravel-horse voice.

The short, 60ish, Italian-looking male bartender calls out with a patent and distinct New York City accent.

BOBBY MILK: Can I help you ?

NARRATOR: He looks around at dozens of dancing black babes.

HE: This is not right.

BOBBY MILK: How so ?

HE: You can't dance the twist to swing music.

BOOLE: The "Twist" dance, basically moving the hips back and forth, was based on a song written by Hank Ballard in the late 50s when he saw teenagers doing the dance.

520.

Chubby Checker would be hired to cover the song and they released the song in 1959, and on August 6, 1960, it would debut a cleaned- up version Chubby Checker's "Twisting the Night Away" of the new dance on "The Dick Clark Show."

By the time it hit "American Bandstand" later that year it was the most popular dance in the world. Unfortunately, the "Twist" has come to symbolize racism, copyright infringement, payola and the mafia in the 60s.

HE: Oh, revisionism.

NARRATOR: From the tough but shy guy, with the wry grin and soft laugh, came the answer.

BOBBY MILK: You can do anything you want at Bobby Milk's except drink chilled red wine. What will you have to drink ?

HE: Yea, Heinie, please.

NARRATOR: This new Boss Barkeeper serves it quick. What a pro, like the Swamper.

BOBBY MILK: That one is on the house.

HE: Thank you, sir.

BOBBY MILK: Forgetaboutit

NARRATOR: This is the first time he ever heard that word said correctly. Then the Italian looked at him with a shy stare.

BOBBY MILK: Have fun, son. And just call me Bobby, as all my friends do.

521.

NARRATOR: From behind the bar strolls an old friend.

HE: Telly. Glad you could make it. [Tipsy.] Have a drink.

THE ORB: Dummy.

TELLY: Not for me, my friend, but you are welcome to. I’ll have a khat and coke.

THE ORB: It is Florida, so do not drink and drive. The penalty is worst than being in Mecca.

HE: What about nose-picking ?

THE ORB: Only in the garage.

TELLY: I must talk to you. Join me.

NARRATOR: He and the Orb go a table with Telly.

HE: What is wrong ? Have you guys been following me ?

TELLY: Yes, but to protect you. You are being followed by my rival gang, the Caliphs. I told you they want the prayer rug back I gave you. My friends and our club, the Imams, are here to intervene.

HE (to himself): See, just because I am paranoid doesn’t mean people aren’t following me after all.

THE ORB: Gosh, if we could only talk to the Caliphs, I am sure we could convince them to see it our way.

HE: No fucking way they get this stuff, you gave that to me along with the prayer mat for saving Habiba.

TELLY: You keep it but stay hidden at Bobby’s. The Imams and the Caliphs have had a long, bloody history but it ends here.

I must go, just stay off the road. Take care and avoid moving about Matlacha bridge at all cost.

HE (panic voice): Wait, wait ! Let me just talk to them. I know if

522.

I could only sit down I could convince them to stop this.

TELLY: You still haven’t figured it out. We have ancient hatreds and access to modern weapons. We need not talk anymore, there is nothing left to say that is not ”The Big Lie.” [Telly stands and shakes his hand): Goodbye my friend. God be with you always.

HE: And Godspeed to you too.

NARRATOR: Telly smiles warmly, then laughs loudly as he exits.

As he sits a bit stunned he hears the roars and chugs of a dozen Imams rough-riding Harley-Davidsons.

He gets up and goes back to the bar, as Bobby Milk approaches he raises his Heineken as if signally for one more.

THE ORB: Look out, you've got company.

HE: What the heck ?

NARRATOR: Three Pam Grier/Vanessa Williams/Halle Berry-looking babes walk over and strike up a conversation. He was starting to feel alive. The hottest of the group speaks.

ANGEL: Hi, I'm Angel. These are my best friends Rena and Pam.

HE: Can I buy you guys, ah girls, ah drink ?

ANGEL: Tell you what, let us buy you one. Hey B, line this guy up.

NARRATOR: The boss barkeeper laughs and pops another Heinie as he walks over to the other side.

RENA: This is his place.

HE: Thanks for the beer. [Tilts his head in the direction of the Boss Barkeeper.] Just what's his deal ?

RENA: We don't know much about him. Bobby is very private.

HE: Is Bobby Milk his real name ?

523.

PAM: No, we don't think so, rumor has it he was from New York City and was frail as a kid and drank milk for strength. You know, a neighborhood nickname for a bookworm intellectual.

ANGEL: He's got five or six kids, we think, but keeps his private life just that, private.

HE: Seems a cool-looking bear, but mighty intense.

RENA: Yea, honey, no cowardly lions here, this bar is Bobby’s Kathmandu. But like Angel said, he likes his privacy.

THE ORB: Maybe you shouldn’t be talking about him.

HE (looking around at 33 awesome black female bodies, bubble butts and bouncing bodacious boobs): Figures. It's different for some reason, I mean who could imagine Expressionistic art on the wall, sculptures, and a fireplace in a southwest Florida bar.

RENA: Listen, honey, Pam and I share a place near here and my cousin Angel is visiting from LA.

HE: In Matlacha ?

RENA: Right. Say, how about singing a Karaoke song with us before we go ?

HE (a bit stunned and scared by the duel propositions could only stammer): Yes.

NARRATOR: Bobby Milk smiles brightly as the four get on stage. He leads, and the girls backup "Black Coffee" by Humble Pie. The crowd explodes in applause as they hug and leave the stage after raising the roof.

Rena turns to him as he is about to exit the bar. Bobby Milk smiles, grabs him and winks, motioning him to the girls.

PAM: Hey listen, Rena asked me to invite you over. We are going over to our place for a ribeye steak dinner, bake potato with sour cream and chives, you want to join us ?

524.

NARRATOR: Angel, seeing him for more than just who he was, chimes in as sultry a coo as has ever been heard this side of ClamBumpers.

ANGEL: Come on, it'll be fun.

NARRATOR: He wasn’t sure exactly what Angel just said, as her heaving chest froze his eyes as she spoke. They beckoned him.

Bobby Milk comes up, smiling broadly and speaks in a quiet reserved voice.

BOBBY MILK: You guys have a good night. It is on me.

HE (systematically stammering): I don't. Ah, okay, thanks.

BOOLE: Playwright Christopher “Kit” Marlowe gave birth to the epic, dynamic, unrestrained drama that culminated in the diverse and complex work of England's greatest theatre genius, William Shakespeare.

His plays used a classical act and scene structure, employed verse (often mixed with prose), borrowed theatrical devices from Roman statesman Seneca and Roman comedy writer Plautus, the commedia dell'arte; while freely intermingling tragedy, comedy and pastoral; combined several plots; covered great expanses of space and time; mixed royalty and lowlife characters; incorporated music, dance, and spectacle; and showed violence, battles, and especially blood. The subjects of tragedy tended to be historical rather than mythical and the history was often used to make a contemporary point. The comedies were often pastoral, involving

525. elements such as nymphs and magic. Subsequent English dramatists, notably Ben Jonson, adhered more strictly to neoclassical precepts.

Plays were presented during the warmer months in circular, open- air theatres. The stage was a platform that thrust into the pit - a standing room area for the lower class spectators. Upper class boxes were situated in three galleries around the theatre. In the colder months plays were performed in so-called indoor theatres for a more elite audience.

The acting style for the early Elizabethan plays was heroic and exaggerated like the plays themselves, but by Shakespeare's time such actors as Richard Burbage were changing to a more restrained, natural style, as reflected in the famous speech to the players in "Hamlet." Scenery was minimal, consisting of little more than a few props or set pieces. The settings were probably created more vividly in the minds of the spectators by the suggestive, descriptive poetry of the plays.

After the death of Queen Elizabeth, the drama, reflecting the changing political and social atmosphere, became darker and more sinister in tone, while the comedies, again, notably those of Jonson, became cynical.

As was his murder by Walsingham’s assassins for his Catholic sympathies.

NARRATOR: The four are eating at a large, long and thick Victorian dining room table. A feast is before him. Angel has taken a liking to him and sits directly across, staring at his hair. Rena and Pam Oreo sandwich him on his sides.

He was having so much fun he wanted to impress them in between bites of a melt-in-your-mouth, ribeye steak the size of a frisbee, and sips of an aged red Napa Valley varietal.

526.

HE (to himself}: A 1994 Franciscan Merlot, good choice.

NARRATOR: Still, he was not at ease and didn't want to unnerve his hottie hostess with a lively conversation about comparative literature.

THE ORB (laughing): Don't take any crap from them, imam, I mean I- man.

HE (pimpin’ hard in his head): Look you stupid black hos, they ain't even in the same ballpark, let alone league, biotches.

NARRATOR: That's what shock jocks and rapper jerks like Feminem and Poop Doggy DooDoo would have said. However, for him it would spell a moist wine cork stuffed up his virgin ass, so he did the right thing on this advice, hmmmmmmm.

THE ORB: Did you ever notice that the acronym for Country and Rap is CRAP ?

NARRATOR: In reality, what he said was:

HE: You can't compare Toni Morrison to William Faulkner. Apples and oranges.

ANGEL (purring): Not in content, but style. Both use a stream-of- consciousness and interior monologue.

THE ORB: This is going to be a tough audience to infuriate. But I have faith in your innate ability to piss off even the late Mother Teresa.

HE: Not even close to what Joyce, Faulkner and Ellison did. Stream- of-consciousness is one long, continuous, unedited thought process, which is Joyce, Faulkner and Ellison. Interior monologue, which is sporadic internal thought is Morrison and Gabriel Garcia Marquez.

Lousy movies always use interior monologue as narration, as if to say to the audience, “You are too stupid to follow the logic so let's periodically help you.” You might as well compare Kahlil

527.

Gibran to William Blake simply because Gibran could also sketch. Sure Morrison used fragments of both but not consistently.

RENA (cooing, though a bit irritated at whitey for daring to disagree): Toni's work is poetic, deep, and difficult.

HE: And based on subjective memory, even her affected memory.

ANGEL: What's wrong with that, aren't all great novels based on the POV of the authors ?

HE: Eras. Capabilities. You seem to think Maya Angelou, Toni Morrison, and Alice Walker are the only writers of note ever. Faulkner wasn't trying to social-engineer, he just redeemed literature as a purely aesthetic endeavor.

Morrison tries to connect to the real world as if she has risen above. You can't. No even Joyce did that. Her work compares more to the realism of Hemingway and Dickens than Faulkner. His work was a mythic, poetic and apolitical vision of his beloved South as counter thought to the horrid realism of his day.

RENA: They are also social critics who write for all long-ignored African American females. They write for Rosa Parks, Harriet Tubman, Sally Hemmings.

PAM: You are acting like there were no Black authors of note.

BOOLE: While there may be some discourse as to whom the title of "the greatest writer of the 20th century" was, some say Joyce, some Faulkner, some Hemingway, and so on. Many feel Joyce for the century and Faulkner for America (thought F. Scott Fitzgerald is probably both) but there may be no doubt what the novel of the century is.

"Invisible Man" was written by an African-American author named Ralph Waldo Ellison and published in 1947. It might possibly be the greatest novel of this, or any, century, even surpassing Ellison's major influences: Faulkner, Joyce, Conrad, James, Eliot, and Dostoevsky.

528.

The work is a coming-of-age novel, or "bildungsroman" (a story of a young person who encounters multiple experiences and each encounter contributes to his ultimate development) that was begun by Goethe's original bildungsroman "Wilhelm Meister."

Ellison's monumental work follows the tradition of Charlotte Bronte's "Jane Eyre," Dicken's "Oliver Twist" and “Great Expectations” and Balzac's "Pere Goriot."

American fiction examples include Alger's "Ragged Dick and Mark the Match Boy," Twain's "Huckleberry Finn," Hemingway's "Nick Adams" stories, Faulkner's "Intruder In The Dust" and the later influenced J.D. Salinger’s “Catcher In The Rye,” Frank Herbert’s “Dune,” Harper Lee’s “To Kill A Mockingbird” and S.E. Hinton’s “The Outsiders,” “That Was Then, This Is Now” “Rumble Fish” and “Tex.”

The startling thing about Ellison is the continuance of the modern masters in a work by a black author in the days of the "social realism" of such fellow black authors as Richard Wright, James Baldwin and Claude Brown.

It is a shame current (and recently departed) Nobel Prize winning authors like Toni Morrison and Gabriel Garcia Marquez tried to emulate the stream-of-consciousness and internal monologue classics -- disguised in so-called magic realism -- in novels such as "Beloved" and “The Autumn of the Patriarch.”

Indicating, yet again, that the Nobel academy is truly political in its presentation to those of only minor indices of success in literary endeavors.

After all, it took Faulkner a lifetime years to earn his -- and only after the apologetic “Intruders In The Dust” -- and Ellison was never honored.

When you read this masterpiece you will read not only Ellison's vision of black America in the ‘40s, but be introduced and ended as in Dostoevsky's "Notes From The Underground," and driven by an interior monologue and stream-of-consciousness (the psychological mind) that Faulkner, in "The Sound and the Fury," after Joyce's "Ulysses" made such an impact on writing with.

529.

This is combined with the sophisticated modernist techniques of parody, allusion, and myth like Joyce and T.S. Eliot. You'll be struck by the underground of Ellison, it is a wilderness that is American, and by the use of an unnamed narrator and his experiences.

You'll see visions of Conrad's "Heart of Darkness" in the jungle of Harlem, as the "white man's burden" subjugates blacks in America; that the more dignified savage is the one who resists being the pawn or plaything of the other.

"Invisible Man" possesses a rare verbal exuberance, incorporating song, jokes, sermon, doctrine, myth, jive and blues. Ellison's novel ushers Jazz itself into our lexicon. Jazz is the improvisation art of the century that was also invented by blacks and mastered by Ellison's hero Louis Armstrong.

It is a story of a black man finding himself and his world that is also our story. It doesn't preach or revise history.

The reader will by his own prejudice come to know the narrator as he encounters a black brotherhood that foreshadows the socialistic black of today, e.g., "level the playing field," or "taxation is simply redistribution of income” or “spreading it around."

It examines relationships between the police and blacks, black men and whites, the southern history and identity of blacks, life at black colleges, and the Nature of race riots.

Even the Nature of the white man inducing and rewarding the black man by having a nude "blonde" dance in front of him, to get him (blacks) to start acting out the base, more animalistic side of his Nature (i.e., beat the hell out of each other) in order to prove himself to the superior white man is examined.

If you don't see this as a metaphor of professional sports of today, then I just don't know what else to tell you.

Or, as he encounters two white women, one of whom is an "intellectual" (pseudo-intellectual, radical liberal) woman who sees the invisible man as a "primitive force" and stereotypes him as one who sets off vibrant cords of sexual desire. And, by

530. bedding him does so not for sexual needs as she thinks, but to prove an academic point - that she is not a racist.

This is known as the "woman problem." The idea of the "woman problem," like the minority race problem, is that (white) women are not free like (white) men, as blacks are not free like whites.

Thus, white women need to be more intelligent and sexual than the white man and black men need to be more physical than white men in order to be equal to and accepted by white men.

Since the I.Q. is not something easily seen in white females, the white woman's libido in public--with a black male--acts as a barometer of equality to, or superiority of, the white male in the mind of the white woman. White women solve their "ideological problems" by either trying to be super-intelligent and denying their sexuality to white males, or by super sexuality with black males.

The black male, who takes the road of super physicality to free himself socially, is less an ally and more a vehicle for the white woman to clamor for equality. White women exhibit no remorse or conflict about their actions.

Has it ever dawned on the reader that 80% of all affirmative action hires are white women ?

Or, how the National Organization of Women is affirmative action’s top supporter along with the NAACP ? Think about the fact that the majority of ALL black male professional athletes are, or have been, married to white woman ? A fit not of love, but of an ideology of inferiority if one reads Ellison correctly.

The other white woman in the story sees the black man as only a tool to fulfill her sexual needs. He is the violent "big black **** (BBC) buck" of Mandingo myth she has dreamed of. One who can meet her basic sexual needs. And by doing so reduce the black man to the "domesticated rapist" who poses as "an expert on the woman question."

531.

Added to this social suicide, white women who commit this act for the mere sake of their “woman problem” have a 1 out of 2 chance of contracting a deadly STD such as HIV or HPC as black males are literally saturated with such given their propensity to engage in “down-low” unprotected homosexual sex unbeknownst to the white female.

Such sights are bellwether harbingers of a modern day Scarlet Letter that should serve as a warning to any unsuspecting and innocent young white male.

The white woman uses this "woman question," and the black male, to cover up her sexual perversion. Seems like those 1,000,000 or so white women who bring this "woman problem" into universities, bars, and restaurants have had their innermost motivations exposed.

To paraphrase a Denis Diderot quote: "History makes a bad novel because a man writes history and fills it with lies and omission. A novel, on the other hand, makes great history because it reflects the Nature of the times through the POV of the writer."

Not much has changed since Ralph Waldo Ellison wrote his magnum opus. In fact, it has gotten much worse.

INT. APARTMENT - NIGHT

HE: No, Pam, that is not my point. And I suppose you could draw that conclusion, Rena. [Thinking to himself in a cantankerous laugh as he verbally apologizes for his life.] The funny thing is that all those desperate white whores; who have illegitimate mulatto children and marry illiterate, dumb, violent black jocks or other black male entertainers, are in reality robbing black females and the black community of half their due income in divorce. What a white theft riot.

THE ORB: Don't say that, it's hurtful and the ladies won't laugh. Maybe they'll Duke you, dude. Careful around them,

532.

HE: Just how in the heck can you be a mythical realist ? It's an oxymoron like the noble savage.

PAM (raspy, but calmer): Toni won a Nobel Prize for literature, like Faulkner.

HE: The Nobel Prize ? Why, because of Oprah's Book Club ? Is she Marquez-Garcia’s cousin ? Faulkner's was for a lifetime of unmatched writing, not a couple of books based on an American cultural revolution. The Nobel Prize is lefty horse dung like the Commie Academy Awards. It's like Michael Moore getting a best original screenplay writer's award from the WGA for a documentary.

THE ORB (laughing): This is reason number 68 that you don't get laid. And you're dying to say nigger, aren't you ? Been dying to scream it out all day.

HE: No way.

THE ORB: You say redneck and bitch 20 times a day, so why not say nigger or spic ?

HE: Listen, I, I just don't think it appropriate.

BOOLE: Yea, yea, yea, just let them PC, newspeak you to submission. Let 'em murder 140 million children and a stroke victim who was choked by her husband. You could have taken out all those jackbooted pigs from a concealed nest within 400 meters.

HE: The old man said no.

THE ORB: We forgave him and you.

PAM: But Michael Moore speaks for the views of many people.

THE ORB: Don't hold back with them, tell it just like you think it, but tone it.

NARRATOR: He gets as serious as anyone of his kind is allowed while amongst them.

533.

HE (pontificating): Moore's the bastard child of Leni Riefenstahl, and Joseph Goebbels rolled into one of the liberal Democratic Party's false idols of hyperbole and mendacity.

The WGA actually had the nerve to give a best original screenplay award to a pseudo-documentary. Thank God the academy only screwed up by giving an award for Best Documentary and not even a nomination for writing.

RENA: What's the difference ?

HE: One is the slanted editing of a spontaneous objective lens based on unplanned but observed events; in this case the fat, multi-millionaire bastard's retarded sense of socialist self- worth. Whereas the other is a planned paradigm; a continuum of pinches and plot points mixed in lines of introduction, conflict, and resolution based on a classic premise. That is an original screenplay.

PAM: You need to go to church, child.

BOOLE: Tell them you have seen enough of the products of Black churches, more than enough.

NARRATOR: This was a bad time to remember that he has never been in any church.

THE ORB: Agents drive writers to visit Val, Zan, and Hal.

NARRATOR: The DJ makes an announcement.

HE (whooping it up): Roll call ! Just like I like my women: mute, stupid, sterile and horny.

THE ORB: What behooves you to always vote for an Independent ?

HE: America needs a fresh start, a true outsider. A real Camelot.

534.

THE ORB: Camelot ? Did you see Robert Goulet in Bettlejuice ?

BOOLE: Beaver above, Wally.

THE ORB: Why did you vote for Perot, Paul or Nader ? One's a robber baron, the other's a hugger, the other’s a mother.

NARRATOR: He ignores that comment as he is stuffing dollars in numerous pulled down G-strings.

THE ORB: Like I said before, voting for a third-party in a two party system is like not voting against the winner. Therefore, you voted for the winner.

NARRATOR: He catches the eye of another buxom blonde.

HE: What ?

THE ORB: Like not voting at all. More than that, these so-called outsiders are all ironic packaging and no substance. Did it just dawn on you that if Nader, Paul, Baldwin, and Buchanan or anyone of the independent movement, were elected without a parliament, who is going to get along with a man from neither party ?

HE: I'm just saying it's time to chase all the insiders away for a while.

THE ORB: Therefore your party becomes the insider ? Change, is it ? Hasn’t worked of late.

NARRATOR: A big-tittied, blonde stripper squats in front of him, even as is still busy talking to the Orb.

HE: My platform will be to saturate the enlisted ranks of the U.S. military with buxom blonde females who screw at the drop of a hat. Talk about a recruiting tool. No flag waving or pins needed.

THE ORB: No, rather Republican's should be conservative, Democrats liberal, period.

BOOLE: Written circa 2004:

A Blue Dog by any other name still smells the same, and it's a smell not necessarily of their Nature of their beliefs, but their politics and political affiliation.

This now not-so-little little Congressional caucus is interesting from history's standpoint.

Blue Dogs are the retarded children of the Yellow Dog democrat; that being someone who would rather vote for a Yellow Dog if it had a D next to its party rather than an R, but Yellow Dogs are generally anti-reconstruction, solid-south racists, don't be fooled.

But the difference is that the Blue Dogs seem to think simply stating that they are fiscal conservatives and yet moderate democrats makes them the perfect fulcrum for influencing all types of legislation, e.g., campaign finance, balanced budget, social security, illegal immigration, etc. Bull, or rather only John Bull, has coalitions, not Blue Dogs.

Blue Dogs squeal that they are being squeezed "blue in the face" by the liberals in their party. If that is so much a burden, switch to Independent or get out.

The truth is these carpetbaggers just want power and all that their megalomania has accomplished for them and us is to keep the same status quo in place that has remained for the last 50 years of FDR's socialism. Talk about Conservative by definition: let's not make radical changes in anything.

Liberal democrats don't worry should you ever take over, these Blue Dogs have no bite, they just stink, and need a bath, like neocons.

Should you be a constituent of a Blue Dog, let him know that his place is not at the bottom 5%, but rather the top 51%.

Tell the 30+ dogs, it's time to take a stand or else you'll vote for a REAL CONSERVATIVE or a REAL LIBERAL.

By the way, Gary Condit was one of the most prominent blue dogs.

HE: Holy shit ! I had no idea. May we buy this bar a drink ? Hold the suppository.

THE ORB: After hearing all that I think I need a drink.

NARRATOR: The laughter from all was loud and pronounced.

DOROTHY: We would have thought less of you if you hadn't. Here, let me see if you have enough money.

NARRATOR: She sticks her hand in his left pocket and he jumps up embarrassed. The men crack up. He jumps backs and smiles.

OLD JACK (with a sinister laugh): That's our Queen. The Queen of the Silver Dollar !

SWAMPER (speaking from an acute angle): And the mysterious lad is moving in on the Queen. Are you jealous, young John ?

YOUNG JOHN (walks up to the bar): Of this one ? No, sir.

SWAMPER: That’s me boyo. The secret of life is to know who'll be waiting for you with a knife, and who will be waiting for you as your wife, aye Laddie.

NARRATOR: Red-faced, he walks to the bar to get a round of drinks for all. Young John is standing next to Captain Stephen having a pint, taking notes, and talking to him and the other sailors while Jaco was laying down some heavy bass. The old Boss Barkeeper comes over to take his order.

SWAMPER: So, you came all this way just to talk with us cutthroats. Now that you have, what do you think of the Oyster Pirates and the Queen of the Silver Dollar ?

NARRATOR: He looks up and sees a picture of Lincoln on the wall between the flowing and unclaimed dollar bills of years past. His head gets light. Just about to give an answer, and his order, when

537. like lightning, the room becomes clouded by a bright light and he can barely see.

THE ORB (panics): We’ve got to go.

HE: Oh no, not now.

NARRATOR: He turns to Dorothy and frowns. She waves goodbye, smiling.

DOROTHY (mouthing): Remember the Oyster Pirates, honey. Remember the victims !

NARRATOR: She and the others fade from view as the Boss Barkeeper walks him out.

SWAMPER: Don't be a sad, boyo ! And don’t ye never be forgetten’ we Oyster Pirates and the Queen of the Silver Dollar !

HE: But when people voted for Perot they made a statement. As they did with Paul, Phillips, Peroutka, Nader, Buchanan, Wallace, or Anderson.

THE ORB: So did Helen Keller, but who heard her ?

NARRATOR: Roll Call ends. He is given dollars out left and right and a ten dollar bill to the new hot, red-headed babe who caught his eye.

HE: Look who is being cynical ? Guess that's natural.

NARRATOR: Mostly when not needed, Boole decides to chime in.

BOOLE: Over one-quarter of all general elections for President have been pluralities.

HE: Then the loser would win because they joined in a coalition with the third party voter ! [Normal voice.] Real representation. Only now, the press and two parties suppress the true Americans as

538. wacko or fringe.

BOOLE: Where's the majority rule concept ?

HE (drunken slur): Could you stop, please ? I am losing my tit count.

NARRATOR: As the vixens cross his path, he counts with his eyes.

HE: Better than a good beer buzz in the morning. Decided on doing something wild tomorrow, and showing independence from Janet and her Daddy, Daddy, Daddy.

NARRATOR: Dulcinea sits in his lap and licks his ear.

THE ORB: I'm not good at symbolism.

HE: Fuck it, I am going to formally change my voters' registration to Independent, no party affiliation for primaries.

THE ORB: You're an animal. Never get to vote or take a position. Lived a full life have you ? No stopping a rock' em/sock' em, laugh-in-the-face-of-death, thrill-a-minute, carpe diem, lost generation like you lashing out at society.

HE: Just have to fill out a form and mail it in.

THE ORB: What does that have to do with Janet ?

HE: I hate her father.

THE ORB: That explains it. Just embezzle from him.

HE: No, this is just something I've always wanted to do.

NARRATOR: Dulcinea snuggles close, pressing the issues.

Dulcinea (whispers): Why don’t you create some inflation. Buy us a lap dance, we need to be alone.

HE: You know what frightens me most ?

539.

THE ORB: That there are very few soccer moms in a strip bar ?

NARRATOR: His cell phone rings. He reads the caller-ID then puts the phone away.

THE ORB: Who was it, Janet ?

HE: Worse, Mendacious Canard again.

NARRATOR: He puts the phone away.

THE ORB: Let it go, Boole.

BOOLE: Since 1900, over 25 percent of presidential general elections have been won by plurality. Look who we got and what happened. Wilson in 1912, we get WWI, the 16th and 17th Amendment; where, by the way, no records of the two-thirds of the states approving can be found.

That meant state legislatures in the solid south actually voted to tax their own people for the Feds in the 16th Amendment and fire themselves from picking their two Senators with the 17th Amendment. I don't think so. Nixon in 1968, that got us off the Gold Standard completely.

You know why JFK was shot ? Executive Order 11110. That meant minted silver again and would have created a bimetallism standard that is required by law under a penalty of death, and not some conservative fags on an anti-Castro rant. Even Wallace got one out of every seven votes that probably would have gone to Humphrey given the South was still solid.

HE: What do you propose to do ?

BOOLE: Amendment #28. Repeal the 17th Amendment. State houses elect U.S. Senators. Not BCE Fascist and big party money. And if no presidential candidate gets 50.1%, the state senates will vote. Coalitions of merit can be built then, if not before. That leaves it to true states rights and electoral federalism.

HE: Not much chance of coalitions with Mass Hypnotists and BCE Fascists waiting in the wings now. Only with a stark difference

540. can we make an informed decision.

NARRATOR: He is staring at Angel's wampum, large breastses.

HE (laughing drunker than a dozen Mexicans in Florida City on any Friday night): Ah Mass Hypnotists , they'll blow up the world but feel sympathy for their victims. Yea, you chicks know how to keep peace ?

THE ORB: How, Gandhi ? This ain't impressing the babes.

HE: Make 'em all Senators.

RENA: What ?

HE: Any Mass Hypnotist would gladly give up their ideology to be a U.S. Senator. Just look who's in now, it's a millionaire's club. So why not billionaires like Castro ?.

RENA: Good point.

HE: Make Castro, Farrakhan, Jackson, Sharpton, Duke, Ka-daffy, Chavez, Ortega all guest Senators.

BOOLE: Like BCE Fascist women are.

THE ORB: You are not helping.

HE: That's all they want is a pulpit and pseudo-power. Fifth column all want to be Senators to feel real important since Mass Hypnotist males generally have no real power except subjugating women.

RENA (laughs): And here we thought you had supremacist tendencies.

HE: What could be more supremacist than the Supremacy Clause of the U.S. Constitution ?

BOOLE: Don’t forget the Commerce Clause.

541.

HE: We owe that supremacy to James Madison. Ruby Ridge and Waco are excused because of the Supremacy Clause ? If we had only elected Jesse Jackson in 1988 but he blew it.

THE ORB (shocked like the girls): Jesse Jackson ? You voted for Jackson ? Is this another Gump story ?

HE: Yea, I did, in the Super Tuesday primary and then he blew it. He had a great coalition of whites of all sorts but absolutely alienated us with his Rainbow Coalition crap. You know what you get when you mix the three primary colors of light in equal amounts ? White. That's right, he was very popular with white farmers and factory workers. Went Ron Paul all the way afterward.

ANGEL (coos): If you mix the three primary colors of paint pigment you get black.

HE: Truckers, farmers, factory workers, and sundry other disenfranchised white poor folks alike, who would've lynched him 30 years before were talking seriously about voting and supporting him.

THE ORB: He is discredited now.

HE: Funny how that works, isn't it ? Well, screw 'em, he made his bed. Poorly advised is poorly does. Forrest Gump would say he missed the boat, but too bad his relatives weren't spared the same indignity.

THE ORB: Aren't you the same David Duke that hates interracial couples ?

HE: Politics makes strange bedfellows.

THE ORB: You are more dangerous than a pizza driver in a 1974 Pinto with Firestone 500 tires. Where do you come up with this junk ?

542.

BOOLE: By the mid-19th century the interest in realistic detail, a psychological motivation for characters, and concern for social ills led to naturalism in drama. Turning to science for inspiration, the naturalists felt that the goal of art, like that of science, should be the betterment of life. Dramatists and actors should, like scientists, objectively observe and depict the real world. Influenced by the theories of Charles Darwin, the naturalists believed that heredity and environment are at the root of all human actions and that the drama should illustrate this. The romantic concern for spiritual values was thus abandoned.

The result of this was a new drama that was focused on the seamier elements of society rather than on the beautiful or ideal. Naturalists sought to present a "slice of life" almost as if they wished to paint a still-life on stage.

NARRATOR: The dolphin was not exactly trying to make contact when coming after him. The terrified redfish was just about to go under with him (cooler still in tow) into deep water.

Queeg didn't have a choice. He fires up the Pratt-Whitney, grabbed his heretofore hidden, and loaded, Barnett Commando, self-cocking crossbow (with the fishing reel recently attached) and started after the now overvalued red beast; overlooking the fact that Flipper and Queequeg's harpoon were both about to impale him.

THE ORB: Maybe it’s just me, but rescuing you would be a good idea.

NARRATOR: Queeg takes aim with his good arm. As the Barnett is a heavy weapon, he sets it on the center console and leans behind it. Unfortunately, the odds of hitting any moving object from a moving object are slim.

Captain Queeg takes the shot with a twelve-inch bolt. The fishing broadhead opens and flies with line attached--dead on-- directly at his balls.

Meanwhile, Queequeg, who had but one chance with the harpoon, let

543.

it fly. It was flying dead on, directly at his head.

HE (with prayer-cupped hands around the 303): Dear Jesus, though it's been many years since my father and the MI/CIC killed the Kennedy’s, King, and shot Wallace, but if you could somehow, through a space-time continuum, transpose me with Guy Fawkes on the rack in the Tower of London, and extricate me from this situation, this man would be forever grateful.

THE ORB: Jesus's response ?

NARRATOR: The line breaks. The $100,000 Red Drum, feeling free, looks about and decides how to split the scene, believing, as in a failed marriage, that he was not ready to be this happy anymore.

BOOLE: Garfield.

HE (serious tone): The cat ?

BOOLE (very sarcastically): Yes, the cat. My TA was 10.

HE: Whoa, dude.

BOOLE: No, Mister MENSA, the former president. Garfield was conscious but in shock. He was carried to an upstairs floor of the train station.

One bullet remained lodged in his body, but doctors could not find it. Young Jim Garfield and James Blaine both broke down and wept. Robert Todd Lincoln, deeply upset and thinking back to the death of his father said: "How many hours of sorrow I have passed in this town."

Garfield was carried back to the White House. Doctors told him that he would not survive the night, but the President did not die. He remained conscious and alert. The next morning his vital signs were good and doctors began to hope for recovery. A long vigil began, with Garfield's doctors issuing regular bulletins

544. that the American public followed closely throughout the summer of 1881. His condition fluctuated. Fevers came and went. Garfield struggled to keep down solid food and spent most of the summer eating little, and that only liquids.

Changing Garfield's bedclothes in an effort to relieve the sick man from the heat of a Washington summer, Navy engineers rigged up the world's first air conditioner. Fans blew air over a large box of ice and into the President's sickroom; the device worked well enough to lower the temperature twenty degrees. Doctors continued to probe Garfield's wound with dirty, unsterilized fingers and instruments, attempting for no particular reason to find the location of the bullet. Alexander Graham Bell devised a metal detector specifically for the purpose of finding the bullet lodged inside Garfield, but the metal bed frame Garfield was lying on made the instrument malfunction. Because metal bed frames were relatively rare, the cause of the instrument's deviation was unknown at the time.

On July 29 Garfield met with his Cabinet for the only time during his illness; the members were under strict instruction from the doctors not to discuss anything upsetting. Garfield became increasingly ill over a period of several weeks because of infection, which caused his heart to weaken. He remained bedridden in the White House with fevers and extreme pains. Garfield's weight dropped from over two hundred pounds to 135 pounds as his inability to keep down and digest food took its toll. Blood poisoning and infection set in and for a brief period the President suffered from hallucinations.

Doctors discuss Garfield's wounds. On September 6, Garfield was taken to the Jersey Shore to escape the Washington heat, in the vain hope that the fresh air and quiet there might aid his recovery. Garfield was propped up in bed before a window with a view of the beach and ocean. New infections set in, as well as spasms of angina. He died of a massive heart attack or a ruptured splenic artery aneurysm, following blood poisoning and bronchial pneumonia, at 10:35 p.m. on Monday, September 19, 1881, in the Elberon section of Long Branch, New Jersey. The wounded president died exactly two months before his 50th birthday. During the eighty days between his shooting and death, his only official act was to sign an extradition paper.

545.

The funeral in Lakeview Cemetery. Most historians and medical experts now believe that Garfield probably would have survived his wound had the doctors attending him been more capable. Not only did several doctors insert their unsterilized fingers into the wound to probe for the bullet, one doctor punctured Garfield's liver in doing so. This alone would not have brought about death as the liver is one of the few organs in the human body that can regenerate itself. However, this physician probably introduced streptococcus bacteria into the President's body and that caused blood poisoning for which at that time there were no antibiotics.

Chester Arthur was at his home in New York City when word came the night of the 19th that Garfield had died. After first getting the news, Arthur said: "I hope—my God, I do hope it is a mistake." But confirmation by telegram came soon after. Arthur took the oath of office, administered by a New York Supreme Court judge, then left for Elberon to pay his respects before going on to Washington.

Garfield's body was taken to Washington, where it lay in state for two days in the Capitol Rotunda before being taken to Cleveland, where the funeral was held on Sept. 26.

BOOLE: Use this, SU= (cypherpunk manifesto):

Privacy is necessary for an open society in the electronic age.

We cannot expect governments, corporations, or other large, faceless organizations to grant us privacy out of their beneficence. It is to their advantage to speak of us, and we should expect that they will speak.

We must defend our own privacy if we expect to have any.

Cypherpunks write code. We know that someone has to write software to defend privacy, and since we can't get privacy unless we all do, we're going to write it. We publish our code so that our fellow Cypherpunks may practice and play with it. Our code is free for all to use, worldwide. We don't much care if you don't approve of the software we write. We know that software can't be destroyed

546. and that a widely dispersed system can't be shut down.

Cypherpunks deplore regulations on cryptography, for encryption is fundamentally a private act.

For privacy to be widespread it must be part of a social contract.

People must come and together deploy these systems for the common good.

Cyberpunks consider privacy a human right. The UN's Universal

Declaration of Human Rights, article twelve: "No one shall be subjected to arbitrary interference with his privacy, family, home or correspondence, nor to attacks upon his honor and reputation. Everyone has the right to the protection of the law against such interference or attacks."

Our objective is to help make privacy possible on the Internet using cryptography strong enough not even those well-funded government agencies are likely to break it. If we can do that, the chances of anyone else breaking it are negligible."

INT. APARTMENT - NIGHT

ANGEL (while passing the wine): You do read a bit between bong hits. Have some wine, baby, a lot of it. It'll relax you.

PAM: Me too, I like talking to him. He's honest if anything.

NARRATOR: The three babes look slyly at each other. The time passes slowly, like a test proctor. Though they are laughing and jovial he suddenly notices Angel and her lovely face, tight waist, long legs, and breastses heaving like Crenshaw melons in a backpack.

Just then, the Rolling Stones's "Brown Sugar" plays on the radio.

547.

He gets up quickly.

HE: Let me put on a jazz CD.

NARRATOR: Angel moves in for the kill.

ANGEL: No, baby, keep it on, I love Brown Sugar, don't you ? Most stuff of the Stones. I hate rap and country, ought to call the acronym CRAP, right ? Have you ever heard the lyrics to Some Girls ?

NARRATOR: He is melting like a snow cone in Kathy Ireland’s lap.

ANGEL (to him): Baby, we need another bottle of wine. It's in the kitchen.

NARRATOR: Flustered, he stands in haste, somewhat blue and numb on, about, and below, the waist.

HE (hastily moving to the kitchen): Sure, excuse me, ladies.

NARRATOR: In the kitchen, he is fumbling with the bottle of red wine. It was difficult attempting to open it in his weakened condition.

On the kitchen counter there is a pot of hot water, for tea obviously, and when he moves it to open the wine he drops hot water in his crotch.

Holding his yelp, he opens the freezer and grabs an ice tray, pouring all ice down his pants, then lets out a massive groan of relief.

THE ORB: Some Girls, huh ? Dude, you're dead as Elvis. Hope it looks the same. You look a little weak in the knees there, Bull Connor. Shall I ghetto the hos with a hose on you ?

HE (out loud): Would you shut up !

NARRATOR: The girls hear him in the dining room.

548.

ANGEL (smiling): You alright in there, honey ? [To Rena and Pam who are snickering.] He’s just nervous as this is his first time.

HE (wincing): Super-duper, Angel. Be right out.

NARRATOR: He gingerly walks out with the bottle in hand, cork broken in the bottle and his lap wet and red with wine stains. The girls again look slyly at each other and smile.

Rena and Pam rise, as does he when a lady stands.

RENA: Pam and I are going out. Angel wants to stay and listen to music with you. You guys share that bottle of wine.

HE (masterfully summoned a retort): But, but, but, but.

THE ORB (snickering): What next there, George Wallace ? This might not be the time for your Lester Maddox imitation. Think I'll take a walk on the old ethereal plane. This sitcom pilot is not going to be picked up.

NARRATOR: The Orb fades stage up.

HE (soft, pleading voice): Don't leave me.

ANGEL (again with the coy cooing): I’m not.

RENA (in unison with Pam): Byeeee.

NARRATOR: He could hear them laughing all the way to the car.

This man was in trouble. He was left alone with an Angel, stripped of all his devices and naked in mind.

Angel pours him a glass of wine, then puts on a slow R&B song he had never heard. She walks close to him, so close she was pressing her glorious, heaving, natural 34DD funbags against his quivering, sinking, limp-wristed, Brokeback/Birdcage-watching chest.

ANGEL: Dance with me.

NARRATOR: They dance slowly to God knows whatever Barry White,

549.

Luther V, or Teddy P song it was. Angel slowly dances him into her room to have some seriously great sex.

The last sound he hears "Once Bitten, Twice Shy" by Great White comes on the CD player as the door closes behind him.

BOOLE: In classical acting, actors still face the problem of portraying not types but individuals. The characters of Shakespeare, or Marlowe for that matter, demand an understanding by the actor of the motives and the psychology that determines the action and emphasis--was still on admirable vocal delivery, and choice of gestures appropriate to the writer's words. Even as the characters become more rich with complex emotions, the classic approach is not realistic in that modern sense of the Gestalt ideas about how emotion is experienced and remembered and behavior.

Since the 20th-century acting may be summed up as an attempt to rediscover the inner truth in performance. The form the truth takes, however, depends on different and sometimes contradictory perceptions of essential human Nature. Superior acting has continued on the basis of strong nation theater traditions, especially in Great Britain. But great changes in acting have been brought about by individuals and companies committed to a way of approaching acting based on current (at that time) psychological and political ideas.

To many, Stanislavsky's system provides a kind of bridge between the old traditional acting and the new "Method" of psychologically approaching the character.

NARRATOR: He was looking at the incursion of civilized man on the road driving south on Pine Island. However, he was still beaver- buzzed and comatose as a man could be from the best sex of his life, and kept laughing about the great night he had.

HE (singing loudly): Dance for me you Wellesley Wenches. Aye matey, Diane Sawyer, deep throat this. And take W. Mark Felt, Bob

550.

Woodward, and John Dean with you biotches.

THE ORB (happy for him and laughing): Paging Doctor Portnoy. Tell me, are your toes still curled ?

HE: My prostate gland is a swollen as Kinky Kelly Klinger’s medicine ball-sized melons.

THE ORB: Fitting. And are you going to go through with it ?

HE: What ?

THE ORB: You know what.

HE (drifting off at the wheel): No, there has to be a better way. Hey, look, it’s JD’s ! The band.

NARRATOR: Just as he is about to run in and see Corky and the Trouble Starters band playing at the Waterfront restaurant, the road is blocked as Caliphs surround his car and demand the khat and the Prayer Rug Telly gave him.

Or else, they will decapitate him then and there.

THE ORB: Now don’t jump to conclusion.

NARRATOR: Telly and the Imams come from around the corner and intercede.

There was gonna be a rumble, but Ali backs down as JD and his six gun-toting waitresses from the Waterfront restaurant; as well the now pissed-off aforementioned musicians, rush up full force.

ALI: We will meet at the bridge. No room to run infidel. You and he cannot escape, Telly.

NARRATOR: The Caliphs, speed off north to Pine Island Center, then right to the Matlacha bridge. Telly and the Imams follow close behind.

HARD CUT TO:

551.

NARRATOR: The Caliphs cross the Matlacha bridge and stop at base of the east side of the bridge while Telly and the Imams at the base of the Pine Island west side.

The Negroes, rednecks, and illegal Mexicans bridge fishermen run like rats fleeing a burning ship.

He stops the Tarnished Tank behind Telly and follows on foot, meeting Telly and Habib as they walk to the top of the draw bridge just west of the tower.

TELLY: You should have taken my advice at Bobby Milk’s and just laid low until they left.

HE: But I want to help bring peace to your feud.

HABIB: Leave and do not interfere again, even if by accident. Especially now when we have ancient weapons and biblical grudges.

TELLY: Go now, my friend. Don’t think, just go.

NARRATOR: He walks to his Tarnished Tank and drives just west past the Imams, who all have rumbled up the western base of the bridge.

The Caliphs, already across the Matlacha bridge to the windward side, now formed a biker barricade so that no Imam, or he, can escape east.

Behind them, 200 Cape Coma motorcycled Gestapo had gathered and blocked the only way into Matlacha.

THE ORB: Great help. Think they are going to send in a negotiator ?

CAPE COMA GESTAPO: We gonna give all these hippies speeding tickets. Let’s negotiate first.

BOOLE: Morons.

NARRATOR: A couple of the meaner Caliphs drag their crescent

552. swords on the concrete as they approach the tower; that sends the bridge-tender fleeing and one of the Caliphs takes the tower.

They apparently had practiced taking the drawbridge. The new tender lowers the stop gates, then the bridge ever so slightly to stop crossing, then it is stopped.

Ali had a plan to cut the head of all the snakes at once, using the bridge.

The Imam’s, on the Pine Island sound side of the Matlacha bridge, or Porpoise Point Island, raise and rattle their broadswords yelling: Allahu Akbar !

Ali and the Caliphs, on the Matlacha side, raise their crescent swords high while screaming even louder: Allahu Akbar !

JUMP CUT TO:

BOOLE: SU= (the battle of Matlacha):

NARRATOR: The bridge is slowly lowered to just the height of a head as Harley’s rev and rev.

The Imams already having moved their Touring bikes to a fixed point from the bridge on the west side, prepare to charge.

So too had the Caliphs; positioning theirs as a barricade on the east side to cut off the Imam’s only escape.

Both groups crescendo their revving, battles yells and saber rattling.

The bridge slowly lowers into place, locks, and the gates rise.

Both groups fire off their 24 engines in full-throttle unison and rip toward each other.

The deafening threshold shifts -- caused by the jet-like revving noise -- pierces his hearing.

Like the start of a motocross, both head up the bridge from the

553. opposite sides and meet head on, at seemingly Mach speed.

As they meet the bridge is raised back to it small height.

The fight is savage. Some suicide bikes explode as they hit head on, while some de-bike and fight sword to sword.

Blood flows like lava down both sides of the bridge and drips through the grates onto boaters below.

Smoke from the burning bikes forms a thin, but obfuscating fog.

Sinews of tendons and arteries flop as limbs are rolling everywhere down both sides of the bridge. Most of the bikes have crashed as Allahu Akbar ! curses their last breath.

Panheads, human heads, tailpipes, entrails, lights, and limbs begin to fly off the respective HOGs, and the infidels they each consider the other.

Ali, now killing with rage, takes Habib, forces him to his knees, then places his head under the barely open bridge. He motions to the tender who lowers the bridge onto the neck of the crying Habib. Ali raises his crescent sword, then slowly decapitates Habib.

Holding Habib’s head up he screams.

ALI: The head of the snake, Allahu Akbar !

NARRATOR: Telly enters the tower and kills the Shia operator, then raises the bridge only to see Habib’s headless body fall sideways.

He, frozen in fear at the ferocity, and now numbly stunned, can only mutter.

HE: Aren’t the cops going to do anything ?

THE ORB: No money in it for Cape Coma.

HE: Just like the Gestapo of Pinellas Park.

554.

NARRATOR: As the smoke clears he walks slowly up the bridge looking for his friend. He sees two men are left at the top of the bridge in the fog.

Chrome, glass, gas, gallons of blood, chopped off limbs, decapitated heads, and shredded biker leather was scattered about almost every square inch of the top of the small drawbridge.

He rushes up to help but sees that it is Telly and Ali who are sword fighting, both mortally wounded. He stops in his tracks.

Telly dispatches the head of a now pleading Ali, then drops his broadsword and walks slowly to his best friend; falling down instantly when he is next to him.

He quells his tears and drops to his knees next to his good friend.

HE: Rest easy, let me call an ambulance.

TELLY: Too late my friend. And you are my friend. I’ve one last request.

HE: Name it. Do you wish to be buried in Mecca ?

TELLY (holding his hand): Yes, we all must, but you cannot go. Especially care for Habib. He was my son.

HE (aghast): Your what ?

TELLY (grabbing him tighter): Please arrange it, my friend. Contact the Imam bike club in Daytona Beach for us. Most importantly, don’t let anyone hurt my Harley. Make sure Habiba gets it. Promise me this, my friend.

HE: It is done.

TELLY (calmly with his last breath): And if you can, find Habib’s head.

555.

BOOLE: Abraham Lincoln and wife Mary Todd Lincoln were going to attend Laura Keene's performance in Our American Cousin. The Lincoln’s were under much stress, put on them by both the war and the death of their son in 1862. Also, President Lincoln had been made nervous by recurring dreams which concerned his own death. Contrary to the information Booth read in the newspaper, General and Mrs. Grant had declined the invitation to see the play with the Lincoln’s.

HE: Ah huh.

BOOLE: Several other people were invited to join them until finally Major Henry Rathbone and his fiancée Clara Harris (daughter of Senator Ira Harris) accepted the invitation.

The President and First Lady arrived at Ford's Theatre after the play began, Lincoln had been delayed at the White House by Missouri Senator John B. Henderson who successfully appealed for a pardon for George S.E. Vaughn who had thrice been convicted of espionage for the Confederates and was sentenced to die. It was Lincoln's last official act as President. The couple was led to the presidential box, where Lincoln was seated in a rocking chair on the left-hand side. The show was briefly paused to acknowledge the presence of the President and First Lady, who were applauded by the audience.

At about 9:00 p.m., Booth arrived at the back door of Ford's Theatre, where he handed the reins of his horse over to a stagehand named Edman Spangler. Spangler was busy, so he asked Joseph Burroughs, known as "Peanuts," for the snacks he once sold in the theater, to hold the horse. As an actor at Ford's Theatre, Booth was well known there and he knew his way around. He entered a narrow hallway between Lincoln's box and the theatre's balcony and barricaded the door.

At that point, Mrs. Lincoln whispered to her husband, who was holding her hand, "What will Miss Harris think of my hanging on to you so ?" The president replied, "She won't think anything about it." Those were the last words ever spoken by Abraham Lincoln. It was now a little after 10 p.m.

Booth knew the play and waited for the right moment, one where

556. actor Harry Hawk would be onstage alone, where there would be laughter to muffle the sound of a gunshot.

When Hawk said:

HARRY HAWK: Don't know the manners of good society, eh ? Well, I guess I know enough to turn you inside out, old gal—you sockdologizing old man-trap. "

... [B]ooth shot the president in the back of the head. Lincoln slumped over in his rocking chair, unconscious. Rathbone jumped from his seat and tried to prevent Booth from escaping, but Booth stabbed the Major violently in the arm with a knife. Rathbone quickly recovered and tried to grab Booth as he was preparing to jump from the sill of the box. Booth again stabbed at Rathbone and then attempted to vault over the rail and down to the stage. His riding spur caught on the Treasury flag decorating the box, and instead of gracefully leaping to the stage, Booth came down full- face to the audience, landing awkwardly on his left foot, breaking his left fibula just above the ankle.

He raised himself up and, holding a knife over his head, yelled: “Sic semper tyrannis," the Virginia state motto, meaning "Thus always to tyrants." Other accounts state that he also uttered "The South is avenged !" He then ran across the stage and went out the door onto the horse he had waiting outside.

Some of the men in the audience chased after him but failed to catch him. Booth struck "Peanuts" Burroughs in the forehead with the handle of his knife, leaped onto the horse, kicked Burroughs in the face, and rode away. He galloped hard for the Navy Yard Bridge and his meet up with Herold and Powell.

BOOLE: SU= (moyers) KW= (conspiracy):

* In October 1964 Walter Jenkins resigned from Johnson's staff after being arrested in a men's room in Washington, and Moyers became the President's informal chief of staff.

According to Laurence H. Silberman, who examined Barry Goldwater's

557. staff looking find similar evidence of homosexual activity, it was to be used in case Goldwater brought up Jenkins's arrest as a campaign issue.

According to Silberman, Moyers at first claimed that the memo was a forgery, but then admitted to him that it was genuine. Moyers denies these allegations, stating, "Silberman's account of our conversation is at odds with mine."

* Bill Moyers named LBJ's Press Secretary in 1967.

* For over five years (1963-1968) sits compliantly by, supporting LBJ and their policies, as they escalate the Vietnam war, causing an additional 38,000 American GIs Killed in Action and 100,000 wounded.

* Never, ever complains once in over 40 years about the Warren Commission, Arlen Specter's "magic bullet theory" or Oswald as the lone assassin, but complains bitterly about the History Channel's "The Men Who Killed Kennedy" and “The Guilty Men” series in which LBJ (thus Moyers, et al) is considered a prime suspect.

* In 2003 the Schumann Center for Media and Democracy, of which Moyers is president, gave money to a variety of establishments which have been described as "left leaning," such as the Christian evangelical magazine Sojourners ($500,000), Salon.com ($277,785) and The Nation magazine ($115,000). He has also been involved with the group Take Back America, an organization that seeks to help elect liberal political candidates.

* Moyers has been the subject of accusations of liberal bias from some quarters. In 2005 former Corporation for Public Broadcasting chairman Kenneth Tomlinson commissioned a study of the show NOW with Bill Moyers. The study supported what Tomlinson characterized as "the image of the left-wing bias of NOW and Moyers, of course, denies these allegations.

Moyers' frequent criticism of conservative policy has led conservative commentators like Brent Bozell to label him a liberal commentator rather than an objective journalist.

* October 2006, Dr. E. Calvin Beisner, whom Moyers interviewed for Is God Green, wrote that Moyers had told him that he "intended for

558. the documentary to influence the November elections to bring control of Congress back to the Democrats".

* Makes self-described "devastating" documentary in 2007 about the national press' support, and failure to stop the Iraq War, a war that in five years has killed over 3,300 Americans and wounded nearly 25,000. He notes that only conservatives and neocons refuse to be interviewed.

BOOLE: Under the Spanish casta, albino (or albina, if female) was the term used to categorize an individual who was one-eighth African and seven-eighths Spanish.

HE: Goddamnit, every show on TV, every novel, and most movies rip those who cannot fight back.

BOOLE: Or, will not.

THE ORB: Turn it off. Read the classics.

BOOLE: Did you know that characters with albinism never play a normal leading man or ingenue ?

HE: And never get laid.

AMISH ALBINO (sighs): Tell me about it.

BOOLE: Only rarely do Albinos represent comic relief. Usually, they are dumb, pathetic lonely men or women, or opposite merciless hit men, torturers, and thugs.

Because folks who genetically lack the ability to produce skin pigment look so different than pigmented people, film makers tend to dehumanize albino characters. So these characters routinely act in a repellent fashion.

If one assumes that characters with albinism have no morals, then why not hire them to kill people ? Many albino roles are evil assassins. Not only are they typically portrayed as remorseless, ruthless, and coldhearted, but they have great aim when it comes

559. to doing in pathetic movie sidekicks.

The irony is that many people with albinism have vision problems, so it is unlikely that these characters would make the best sharpshooters.

Even when not firing off a shotgun, characters with albinism are portrayed as threatening, menacing spooks.

Often, these characters are listed in movie credits merely as "The Albino." But when filmmakers make a small effort to give them names, usually it is a label reinforcing their condition. "Whitey" is by far the most popular nickname for on-screen characters with albinism.

The killer in Foul Play not only is named "Whitey" but can't resist a sassy white leisure suit that cries out '70s era albinism. The "Twins" from The Matrix: Reloaded also share a fondness for white business attire in stark contrast to the black leather worn by their adversary Keanu Reeves.

In real life, people with albinism are no more likely to adopt alabaster attire than the rest of us.

In movies, it doesn't seem enough for an unsavory character just to have albinism. To stand out from the crowd, they have to have other health problems as well. In the far-from-PC Clint Eastwood thriller The Eiger Sanction, actor/director Clint is given assassination orders by the albino character "Dragon." Dragon cannot leave a red lit room because he says his skin immediately burns. He is obsessed with hygiene and very prone to infection. He tells Eastwood he needs his blood "changed" twice a year and is actually shown having a prolonged blood transfusion.

The pre-"Shrek" fairy tale spoof, The Princess Bride stars an evil executioner called the "Albino." While salaciously smiling about his plans to torture the film's hero, the camera zooms in on an obvious herpes lesion at the corner of the mouth. Herpes is common, causing painful cold sores or fever blisters. We are not aware of albinism increasing the risk for lip herpes.

In oddball Italian auteur Federico Fellini's Satyricon, there is a brief view of a character with pale skin, hair, and eyes. You've

560. got it - another case of albinism. Unlike the other examples featured on this page (or the rest of the skinema site) this guy/girl has both female breasts and a decidedly male penis. He/she is a hermaphrodite. Hermaphrodites show both of these gender characteristics because of abnormal chromosomes. Again, this director, wanting to show an abnormal character, felt that one medical condition was clearly too few.

Though easily prone to sunburn (and eventually to skin cancer), people with albinism usually have normal immune systems, aren't any greater risk for herpes, and certainly do not show increased tendency to hermaphroditism. These characters mistakenly suggest that in addition to moral badness, albinism is associated with systemic weakness or disease.

As noted above, this tendency to make characters with albinism the bad guys dates back to at least the early 1960s. The first version of The Time Machine may be at least partially to blame. Though there is no uber-Morlock character, the subterranean Morlock race lacks skin color and feature glowing red eyes that are sensitive to light.

Thus, they vaguely resemble some of the hallmarks of albinism. With their ape-like stature and beastly claws, one would not mistake these hulking goons for a regular fella with albinism. Not only do they live underground, but the tiniest glimpse of a match is enough to blind them. Can't say they would be much fun at a birthday party. At least this limits their chance of becoming cigarette addicts. Other light-sensitive albino characters hide in the dark corners of The Eiger Sanction, Vamp, Not Another Teen Movie, Dark City, and The Omega Man, below.

By the late 1960s, social change was in the air. Charlton Heston rode that zeitgeist with a trio of movies set in apocalyptic futures. Less well known than The Planet of the Apes, and Soylent Green, The Omega Man, nonetheless shared the same basic plot: Heston single-handedly battles a world gone awry.

The premise of Omega Man has particular resonance today: Heston is one of the few remaining "normal" humans after germ warfare turns the rest of mankind into evil albinos.

Violent, irrational and unable to tolerate light of any kind, this

561. representation of an entire group reinforces the notion that people with albinism are not human, but represent some separate degenerate species. Other examples of races of aliens with albinism include Hellraiser, Dark City, John Carpenter's Children of the Damned, and Star Wars Attack of the Clones.

These evil characters are never carted off in handcuffs. They are usually beaten, burned, or shot. Typical is the extreme end is saved for Bosie from Cold Mountain. In the film's final confrontation, Jude Law faces off with the albino marksman and kills him, only after taking a lethal bullet himself. The implication is that the only good albino is a dead one.

In Powder, the sympathetically portrayed protagonist has more than just albinism and bald pate. He also is a genius, is kind with animals, and can channel all manner of electric current. Ostracized by a small town, he runs Christ-like through the fields of waving wheat and is struck by lightning from above. Nice guys with albinism don't just finish last. They get zapped by lightning from a vengeful God. Even with all of Powder's good qualities, it is clear from the opening scenes that this movie won't be the start of any franchise.

Only two of the above characters is actually played by an actor with albinism. In fact, most albino roles star actors with normal skin tone. Much like Hispanic and Asian caricatures in the 1930s and 1940s were played by Caucasian actors, white wigs, makeup and occasionally light contact lenses are used to recreate the albinism, usually unrealistically. Movie-goers of the 21st century would not tolerate Caucasian actors playing black roles, so why is there no concern about actors applying white face to simulate albinism ?

So The Time Machine and Attack of the Clones are throwbacks in many ways. Given that albinism is relatively rare, barring a widespread protest of these types of roles, Hollywood producers may see little financial incentive to create more realistic images of albinism on-screen. As long as the bleacher seats are filled and the hot dog vendors are busy, the game will continue. Why change the rules ?

And finally:

562.

This combination of albinism and hair loss (called by doctors alopecia) has been termed by this site's creators "Albinopecia." Fairly common in movies (see the Cloning around happening above), it warrants its own discussion.

NARRATOR: Day rotates in and then ascends rapidly. He couldn’t believe his luck, the Mass Hypnotist was coming outside to speak the next month, and then another fund-raiser. After, of course, his quarterly vacations were done.

Under an assumed name and in the same bad disguise, he stays periodically at the low-rent motel on the avenue where the Mass Hypnotist will be engaged in daylight soon enough.

HE: It is time, my time, our time, and his time.

NARRATOR: He leaves the confines of the bedbug motel and scouts the area near Ground Zero where the Mass Hypnotist is expected to give the anticipated announcement speech.

In the corner of a building, adjacent to the area of the announcement but far enough from view, he finds a cubby hole to hide in an alley that allows for quick access to the Metrorail.

The area was teeming with trash bins of all sorts.

And, it is covered by ferns. Big ferns.

HE: Providence.

BOOLE: Quickly, and with no fanfare, he returns to the haven of his secret island, under cover of darkness, for more khat and wine. Mortar for the weak and scared, and he was both.

The Orb and he are watching a video on the JFK assassination and he begins talking to himself.

HE (mumbling): There has got to be payback, ‘the Great Correction just got justification. Why ? No one human is above impunity.

THE ORB: And man is above the Angels. Angles who themselves are

563. punished and banished.

NARRATOR: He scribbles on a piece of paper over and over:

THE Mass Hypnotist MUST DIE, THE Mass Hypnotist MUST DIE, THE Mass Hypnotist MUST DIE, THE Mass Hypnotist MUST DIE, THE Mass Hypnotist MUST, MUST, MUST DIE.

He continues and starts to mutter to himself, then.

HE (loud yell while biting his hand): And the irony of this new Mass Hypnotist attempting this. Not in my lifetime.

BOOLE: A candlelight vigil is an outdoor assembly of people carrying candles, held after sunset. Such events are typically held either to protest at the suffering of some marginalized group of people or in memory of lives lost to some disease, disaster, massacre or other tragedy.

In the latter case, the event is often called a candlelight memorial. A large candlelight vigil will usually have invited speakers with a public address system and may be covered by local or national media. The vigils may also have a religious or spiritual purpose. At Christmas Eve many churches will hold a candlelight vigil.

But, for the Amish.

NARRATOR: More than 1,000 mourners attended a prayer vigil at The Worship Center in Lancaster PA on the evening of October 3rd.

BOOLE: An overflow crowd watched the service on closed-circuit TV. Rev. Duane Britton, pastor of Dove Christian Fellowship — Westgate in Ephrata, PA joined other clergy in the county to deliver the service. Lancaster Online reports:

"During the service, which lasted just over an hour, heads were

564. bowed and tears flowed for the loss of schoolgirls’ tender lives and for their killer, a man described as a loving husband and father of three young children."

“We come here tonight as a grieving community,” said Sam Smucker, a pastor and founder of The Worship Center and himself a former Amish man. “We’ve come here to pray and proclaim the lordship of Christ and to put our arms around each other and the community. God hears our prayers,” he assured his listeners.

HE (angry thought): How many came to yours ?

THE ORB: Never mind that, according to Mister Boole, during the service, which lasted just over an hour, heads were bowed and tears flowed for the loss of schoolgirls’ tender lives and for their killer, a man described as a loving husband and father of three young children.

HE (crying out): Fuck me to tears !

NARRATOR: The crossbow bolt misses his balls south by an inch and slams into the side of the cooler he was now strapped to by bungee cords. All this just as Queequeg's harpoon glances off his left shoulder and sticks in the top of the cooler. The lines of the bolt and harpoon entangle him worse than the bungee cords.

The redfish escapes the net, spits out my hook, slaps him in the head with his tail then sinks to the safety of deep water where this kind of thing doesn't happen, prompting a now irate Flipper to slap him in the ribs with his tail as he chases after the $100,000 red.

QUEEG (yelling in the lightning while gulping rain): Greenpeace seriously sucks ! I’ll see them to Davy Jones locker, by God !

BOOLE: One would have to agree after 25,000,000+ children have died of starvation, most in Africa, because a bunch of socialist, Joni Mitchell listening, Al Gore-voting, eco-terrorist, Unabomber wannabes don't like DDT.

NARRATOR: Queeg has his priorities correct by rescuing the cooler of Heinekens first and popping a cool one. He then pulls his semi- bound, bruised and battered, silt-filled body, net and rod still in hand, out of the muck and onto the boat just as the monsoon had passed and the bright afternoon sun came out. Queequeg pulls along side the boat.

QUEEQUEG (joking voice): Where did you learn to fish, Ishmael ? Nice Zebco. [Grabs the spear from the top of the cooler.] Give me my harpoon.

QUEEG: He got it at WalMart, via China.

QUEEQUEG: Video just didn't quite cut it, huh ? Do you know Wal- Mart is the number one civilian employer in both Canada and Mexico, and by the year’s end they expect to have 4000 Supercenters in China ?

HE: The slopes deserve the Walton/Hatfield leeches for murdering 50,000,000 of their own kind in the 'Cultural Revolution' another

50,000,000 in The Great Leap Forward, and another 50,000,000 mostly female babies with their even more monstrous one-child-per- family policy. Talk about a redneck Gang of Four.

QUEEG (beer buzzed and exclaiming with joy and verve): Goody ! The bolt also hit high on the cooler. We can still fill it with ice and Heinies.

NARRATOR: They seem less disappointed than he.

QUEEG: By the way, since you caught the smallest fish. That would be none. You win the prize. You get to kiss the baby.

NARRATOR: He had about enough of this modern day Falstaff who seemed more like a bellicose drunk.

HE (finally acting like a man): Ain't kissing shit, Deliverance.

QUEEG: You've got to kiss a blue crab, no choice.

NARRATOR: The Captain pulls out a whopping huge, live, blue crab. Complete with a bad attitude and vicious pinchers flying.

HE: How does one do that ?

QUEEQUEG: Very quickly.

NARRATOR: Queeg puts the crab close to his mouth.

QUEEG: Just blow on it before you kiss, that'll relax the claws when they dig into your eyes and lips. [Hands the crab to him.] Here, hold it from the back.

NARRATOR: The monster Blue Crab’s big pinchers are flailing about madly.

HE: Say what ? Blow me, Monica.

NARRATOR: The two fishermen laugh. Queeg puts the crab back in the well.

QUEEQUEG: Moron. Thanks for the excitement. Now let’s get stoned.

567.

QUEEG (washes off his face and hands): What a ride ! Well, at least you got some trout and flounder. Meet you at the Froggy’s, Q, it's happy hour. The lesbians should be topless and the bikers in rare form.

THE ORB: Froggy’s ?

QUEEQUEG: Leap, baby. Now that's a tradition on Pine Island.

QUEEG: Coming with us ?

HE (thinking to himself): Sure, but maybe a hospital ER first. Then tomorrow onto another blue hole on this blue planet. This time guided by the sane.

QUEEG: At least you've got a fistory for all time.

HE: A what ?

QUEEQUEG: Fish story, dude. Told ad nauseam, and ad infinitum.

NARRATOR: Who was he going to tell it to, Ellen or Ahmed ? And who the heck would believe it ?

Janet wouldn't care as she was a quintessential, pessimistic, and skeptical American while he was always a man of good intentions.

But, as the media would say, he was misled by irrational capitalism and moral preconceptions about such trite terms as good and evil.

Well, at least he wasn't at a socialistic workplace, sucking up to various committees, listening to liberal talk radio, dining with Janet Heinz-Forbes, the bane of his existence; or worse, watching the Mass Hypnotist on TV.

SUBJECT: Hundreds attend vigils for Amish schoolgirls

FROM: CBC News & Mary Altaffer / Associated Press

BOOLE: As the families of the five Amish girls killed in this week's schoolhouse shooting prepare for their funerals, hundreds gathered in southern Pennsylvania communities Tuesday night for vigils.

Members of the usually private Amish community were joined by their non-Amish neighbors for the vigils and prayer sessions in Lancaster County following Monday's siege at a one-room schoolhouse in Nickel Mines.

Funerals for Naomi Rose Ebersole, 7, Anna Mae Stoltzfus, 12, Marian Fisher, 13, and sisters Mary Liz Miller, 8, and Lina Miller, 7, will take place on Thursday and Friday.

The Amish do not have churches and the funeral services will be held at the homes of their families. Their coffins will likely be carried to an Amish cemetery in the community of Bart by horse- drawn carriages.

The five girls injured during the shooting remain at Penn State Children's Hospital and the Children's Hospital of Philadelphia. Three are in critical condition and two are in serious condition.

Sam Stoltzfus, 63, an Amish woodworker who lives a few kilometers away from the shooting scene, said the victims' families will be sustained by their faith.

STOLTZFUS: We think it was God's plan and we're going to have to

569. pick up the pieces and keep going. A funeral to us is a much more important thing than the day of birth because we believe in the hereafter. The children are better off than their survivors.

THE ORB (whispers): Get it ? Do not bring them down by violence. Bring the guilty them down as the anointed one would. With love, and peaceful means. Remember Thoreau, Gandi, and MLK.

BOOLE: Christian singer Michael W. Smith joined local pastors at a Lancaster church, leading the overflow crowd in hymns. The Grammy- winning singer later stood before the congregation and said,

SMITH: We're not safe anymore, are we ?

BOOLE: You never were. Progressive Red Terrorists have had you in their evil crosshairs for decades.

NARRATOR: The Orb appears to light the darkness.

THE ORB (whispers softly): You should be more like them, and not mad because of them.

HE: Boole told me that Smith and local ministers prayed that God would heal the wounded, comfort those grieving for the five girls who were killed, and protect schools from further attacks. Church members also visited with all the victims' families Tuesday, preparing meals and doing household chores, while Amish elders planned funerals for the victims.

BOOLE: In a constructed Church, several local ministers also prayed for the wife and three children of the mad gunman, Charles Roberts, a 32-year-old milk truck driver.

HE (teary-eyed): Forgiveness. You were right, the Amish not only talk His talk, but walk His walk all the way.

BOOLE: McKinley had been shaking hands for approximately ten minutes when Cortelyou left his side to shut the doors. William J. Gomph, the exposition's official organist, was softly playing

570.

Schumann's Traumerei on the massive organ that was a special attraction at the Temple of Music. At this moment, 4:07 p.m. Czolgosz advanced to face the President. McKinley reached out to take Czolgosz's "bandaged" hand, but before he could shake it Czolgosz pulled the trigger twice.

A man named James Parker, standing immediately behind Czolgosz, punched him in the face and knocked him to the ground. Agent George Foster jumped onto Czolgosz and shouted to fellow agent Albert Gallagher "Al, get the gun ! Get the gun ! Al, get the gun !” Gallagher instead got Czolgosz's handkerchief, which was on fire. Private Francis O'Brien of McKinley's Army detail picked up the gun.

McKinley remained standing while security dragged Czolgosz away. After someone hit Czolgosz again, McKinley cried out "Don't let them hurt him." Eleven minutes after the shooting an ambulance arrived and McKinley was taken to the hospital on the Exposition grounds. He had been shot twice. One bullet deflected off his ribs, making only a superficial wound. However, the second bullet hit McKinley in the abdomen, passed completely through his stomach, hit his kidney, damaged his pancreas, and lodged somewhere in the muscles of his back.

The doctors, unable to find the bullet, left it in his body and closed up the wound. An experimental X-ray machine, which might have helped to find the bullet, was on hand at the exhibition, but for reasons that remain unclear, it was not used. (In the following days Thomas Edison would arrange for an X-ray machine to be delivered all the way from his shop in New Jersey, but it was never used either).

McKinley, still unconscious from the ether used to sedate him, was taken to John Milburn's home to recover.

Czolgosz confessed everything that night, stating "I killed President McKinley because I done my duty. I didn't believe one man should have so much service and another man should have none.". He provided more detail the next day, insisting that he acted alone, although his statement did not prevent Goldman's arrest a few days later.

Contrary to Czolgosz's assertion that he had killed the President,

571. not only was McKinley still alive, but he seemed to be recovering. On Saturday the 7th McKinley was in good condition, relaxed and conversational. His wife was allowed to see him, and he asked Cortelyou "How did they like my speech ?".

A bulletin sent from his sickbed on Sept. 8 said "The President passed a good night and his condition this morning is quite encouraging. His mind is clear and he is resting well. Wound dressed at 8:30 and found in a very satisfactory condition."

Most of McKinley's Cabinet came to Buffalo, as well as his old friend and former campaign manager, Senator Mark Hanna. Vice President Theodore Roosevelt was attending a luncheon event in Vermont on Sept. 6 when word came that the President had been shot.

Roosevelt and his party left immediately for Buffalo, arriving on the 7th. However, by the 10th McKinley had improved to the point that Roosevelt's presence no longer seemed necessary, and, for the sake of publicity, the Vice President left Buffalo that day. He went to take a hiking vacation in the Adirondack Mountains, where his wife and family were already waiting.

Similarly, Mark Hanna and the Cabinet members left Buffalo when the crisis seemed to have passed.

The President continued to improve. A bulletin on the 9th stated "The President's condition is becoming more and more satisfactory. Untoward incidents are less likely to occur." On the 10th a bulletin stated "The President's condition this morning is eminently satisfactory to his physicians.

If no complications arise a rapid convalescence may be expected." McKinley continued to take water orally and nutritive enemas. On the 11th, the President took beef juice orally, the first food he'd taken in the stomach since the shooting. Bulletins said "continues to gain" and "Condition continues favorably." On the 12th McKinley had his first solid food, some toast and egg with coffee, but he "did not relish it and ate very little."

Later on the 12th the President's condition began to worsen. He reported a headache and nausea and his pulse rate increased, rapid but weak. McKinley became sweaty and restless, although he

572. remained conscious and alert. A bulletin on the morning of the 13th said: "The President's condition is very serious, and gives rise to the gravest apprehension." That day, Friday, September 13, McKinley began rapidly deteriorating. Hanna and the Cabinet returned to the Milburn house.

McKinley was given adrenaline and oxygen in attempts to improve his weak pulse. His condition worsening, McKinley told his doctors “It is useless, gentlemen, I think we ought to have a prayer.” Later, as he faded, McKinley whispered the words to the hymn "Nearer, My God, to Thee."

A bulletin at 6:15 p.m. said, "The President's physicians report that his condition is most serious in spite of vigorous stimulation. Unless it can be relieved the end is only a question of time."

Senator Hanna, grief-stricken, said "Mr. President, can't you hear me ? William ! Don't you know me ?" President McKinley, brought down by infection and gangrene, died at 2:15 a.m. on September 14.

EXT. Ground Zero - DAY

NARRATOR: It was the day he had waited, visioned, and practiced for these many years. It was the day of ‘the Great Correction .

Zeitgeist aside, a nervous novice is still a nervous novice.

He parks a car within a mile the Ground Zero and walks on his modified crutches -- with only a medium jacket, and a backpack filled with clothes and a can of foam -- to his newest dive motel, checks in, then leaves without notice, taking the backpack with him.

And, of course, he walks on his crutches in the shadows.

Before he checks into another motel in the extended area; still on his modified crutches, he opens the backpack and changes into an

573. old baseball cap, faded jeans, gloves, an outer winter coat over a medium inner jacket, and a fake mustache. He throws the Goodwill purchased backpack away.

He then finds his target motel, and acting high, pays cash under another assumed name with fake State ID.

HARD CUT TO:

INT. MOTEL ROOM - DAY

NARRATOR: Once inside the room, he switches to wearing plastic gloves and opens the crutches which he has brought the weapon in.

He opens the crutches and unloads and inspects Excalibur ‘s parts: a 24” barrel, hinge pin, receiver, spring-buttstock to absorb kickback, caliber conversion sleeve and chamber, and scope.

He takes out the stripper clips of three rounds and removes one of the paper wrapped rounds, then rebuilds the rifle’s two assemblies -- including inserting the caliber conversion sleeve -- with his eyes closed.

He takes the barrel of Excalibur and attaches the empty 20oz plastic soda bottle with tape, pokes a hole in the bottom of the bottle, plugs the cleaning rod barrel through the hole and into the barrel, and fills the inner bottle with foam from the can.

After the foam dries moments later, he removes the rod and the plastic soda-bottle silencer from the barrel.

Then firmly puts the foam soda bottle silencer on, then off the barrel, to make sure it fit, then removes the bottle and makes it look like he is drinking from it. Then cocks open the breech- barrel and loads the single round of the paper-wrapped, lesser caliber into the breech.

574.

Finally, he breaks Excalibur down into its two component assemblies:

1) The receiver with caliber conversion chamber, and buttstock into his left crutch, and 2) The barrel with caliber conversion sleeve, scope, and forend in his right crutch; with the filled soda-bottle silencer off, and the cap on.

After putting the Excalibur back into the modified crutches and still wearing the old baseball cap and mustache he puts another set of plastic gloves on -- then his regular gloves over them, flushes the used plastic gloves, and leaves the room untouched by human hands, but looking like he slept in the bed. He turns on the TV low and leaves stealthily, without checking out.

EXT. STREET - DAY

After taking a second to throw the used foam can away in a bin, he sneaks the broken-down Excalibur onto the street in his crutches and soda-bottle silencer in his outer coat. It is cold out and everyone is wearing a jacket or coat, so his wearing a medium jacket and outer coat that are not too big does not attract attention.

The soda-bottle silencer causes only slight notice as he holds it like he is drinking it, caps it, then puts it back in his outer coat pocket.

As the day of ‘the Great Correction has finally arrived he decides not risking taking Excalibur on the bus and decides to take the Metrorail instead.

DISSOLVE TO:

INT. METRORAIL - DAY

NARRATOR: His ride is uncomfortable. Apparently, it was easier to be random when you were not guilty. Or, not on crutches. But still, he proceeds easily unseen from the Metrorail to Ground Zero .

575.

No one notices him. His descends rapidly as he exits the Metrorail, finds a bench, sits and waits--his mind drifting to and fro between heaven and hell.

EXT. ALLEY - DAY

NARRATOR: As the time arrives, he walks on his crutches between the daily raindrops, hides in ferns of the pre-scouted alley near Ground Zero ; nervously assembling Excalibur in his mind and soon his body.

When the Mass Hypnotist arrives he visualizes taking quick aim and shooting. The crowd will pay him no mind hidden in the ferns. He has practiced being anonymous.

They hear nothing as the soda-bottle silencer does its job. They sees nothing but a glass window breaking behind the Mass Hypnotist ; sending the people into a frenzy as Mass Hypnotist is rushed inside by Napoleon, Squealer and the piglets--mortally wounded.

Mentally, he quickly breaks down Excalibur , puts the shattered soda-bottle silencer in his outer coat pocket, then puts the five parts of the weapon in his outer coat lining and heads for the Metro. Stopping just briefly to throw the quickly broken crutches, shattered soda-bottle silencer, now smashed scope, crushed forend, and the smallest parts of the broken down weapon, except the barrel and receiver, and finally the outer coat, into numerous nearby business, and city dumpsters.

The downtown is in a panic as they all are combing the area looking for a shooter.

Silently, he waits in a crowd for the Metro amid a rumor about Mass Hypnotist getting shot.

EXT. METRORAIL - DAY

His imagination sees a black Metrorail bicycle cop notified of the shooting on his shoulder radio and is told to look for suspicious characters.

576.

The cop turns around and notices him and his light jacket and approaches but it's crowded and the cop’s view is temporarily blocked. And just before the cop can reach him he gets on the train and escapes.

CUT TO:

EXT. RIVER - NIGHT

Under cover of dusk, and still dressed down in Goodwill clothes, he throws the barrel, receiver, gloves, baseball cap and mustache into the river. He is nervous and crying.

HE (to himself with remorse setting in): I'll call and turn myself in to the police.

NARRATOR: His favorite memorial is along the way. He pays homage and apologizes for his actions.

HE: We love you, like our fathers and sons.

NARRATOR: Police cars pass the area in a whirl.

INT. MOTEL - DUSK

NARRATOR: He is about the call the SS from inside another run-down motel but the Orb does not let him dial.

Then, like lightning, and as if by magic, the bright orange and blue haze causes him to snap out of his daydream.

01000000101001000010000000110001

THE ORB (whispers): I said wake up ! Find a happy ending. This time for, and by, yourself.

Click

NARRATOR: He is in self-hypnosis and ignores the Orb.

THE ORB (frantic): Think about it, you’ve made your point, now

577. make them feel good.

HE: Yes, a happy ending would make everyone feel good. Maybe even sell. Adding the happy ending to the story is something done if you are doing the editor and reader a huge favor.

NARRATOR: He is lying in the same position on the Muslim prayer rug, and in the same clothes he wore the night Telly brought the khat; but he is half moaning, and very hung over, like he'd just come down from a Valium the size of a hockey puck.

It is bright daylight, sometime in the afternoon. The house is full of boxes out of his view.

THE ORB (whispers): I said wake up, please.

HE: Bloody hell, what happened ?

NARRATOR: The phone machine message light is on.

HE: Who could've called this machine ?

THE ORB: Let's find out if it is from God.

NARRATOR: Not quite, as the first is from Janet and she is sobbing.

JANET (on machine): Pick up the phone, you stupid jerk. Why did you say those things last night ? Daddy said you shunned him. Goodbye. That 'Daddy, daddy, daddy Southern Belle' joke hurt. You don't love me. Daddy says you're a loser, and his favorite dog was Old Yeller anyway, not Rin Tin Tin. Go be a failed writer or PMS or whatever it is you want to do, we are through.

HE (shaking his head): Oh no.

578.

THE ORB (laughing): See, a happy ending without a prostitute ! This is starting out a good news day. The denouement, and not a violent deus ex-machina ?

NARRATOR: The phone slams on the machine.

HE: What is she talking about ?

NARRATOR: The phone machine goes on again. It's a familiar, yet frightening voice.

CANARD (on machine): Hey babe, Mendacious Canard here. Glad to hear you are coming out. And -- wassss up ! -- with that one-man show you were talking about writing ? Great that you going to get your Writers Guild card and we've got to get pitches set up for you. Drop by when you get to Studio City.

NARRATOR: The phone machine goes on again. This is a noticeably black, female voice.

TINSLEY (on machine): This is Ms. Tinsley, the Principal of Jefferson Middle School in Compton, California. We would like to thank you for your application to teach at Jefferson. We'd like to schedule you for an interview next month. We don't know why a man with a doctorate would do this, but please call my office and thanks again from all of us.

THE ORB: Giving up drugs and getting on with your life. Good adult choice, finally. The Psalm of life.

HE: Huh ? Did I miss a meeting ?

NARRATOR: The phone machine goes on yet again. It's Stu Levin.

LEVIN (on phone): Where have you been ? Tried your house all week. Congrats, old man, way to stick to your position.

You were insane. You win, they went our way. You remember saying that the American working poor cannot live without at least a living wage of ten dollars an hour ? Current average minimum wages for workers in this nation are less than the average worker in the

579.

Depression. Indexation is liberal socialism that will fuel hyperinflation impressed them. Not a good move.

HE: Huh ? Ibidem.

LEVIN: Why didn't you tell me ? “Figures show this and we will not change them as the quantitative measurements support the argument that hyperinflation can occur with indexation.”

Doctor, that was the most intellectually honest defense of a position I've ever heard. The committee thought so too. Nobody is going to read it anyway. You sounded so committed I just couldn't let you down. Don't know what got into you. Maybe the fact you blew away the comprehensive portion helped with those guys. Who knows or cares ? Remember the party at my house this weekend. Don't know what motivated you to teach in Compton for now. Getting that urban renewal itch scratched, but I am proud of you.

NARRATOR: The message machine shuts off. He looks down at his garb.

HE (confused, to himself): Man, these are the same clothes I had on a week ago. When the fuck did I go to the Committee ? This is getting weird. Wasn't I fishing ? Where's the khat Telly brought over ? And where are the clothes we took on the trip ?

NARRATOR: He looks frantically for his clothes and the remaining khat. Instead, he finds a copy of two letters; one to Dulcinea, one to Angel, but both reading the same.

01101111011110110100011010010011

HE (reading aloud):

My Dearest Calypso:

What behooved me to tender you this expression of my deep regard, and most inner feelings, is by matter of my now heartfelt, fervent impressions of your depth, your lines, your grace, your toughness, your classic beauty, and your mind.

580.

You are my Odyssey.

Swish,...

Someday, something may move you like nothing ever has... or ever will.

Following that foolish attempt at conversation -- by way of this muse -- is not to be misunderstood. This man only wishes you sweet happiness, especially as that applies to your most private thoughts and intimate desires.

And, should you say so in small words, I will cease any attempt with that imprudent issue of intense congress out of respect for your privacy and fidelity, and those so involved.

It is not in my Nature to intrude.

For it would be most difficult, nay impossible, to quantify the happiness such a commerce would usher forth. And as such, it must remain a dormant demand upon the senses until our mental release is achieved. You are the answer to a prayer in the lost wish of a lonely dream. A singular, ethereal entity engulfed in its shining existence.

I have thought many times, in visions unblurred, of our cells intertwined and the roiling of my body as I share your most passionate joys passing through me like a visceral tsunami. My labored breathing cued by the simple caress of your hair, and my roar to the heavens on the wings of your gasping for air.

Honesty counts.

This letter has been brewing for some time. It just took moxie on my part to pen this tome of affection despite the oft-lampooned, desperate shame attached to such "love" letters as these.

But most men my age have sort of lived their lives watching beauty like yours; never having the courage to express what are true deep feelings, or the integrity to find out what is under that comely face, that warming smile, that hair, and that moonlit body as it

581. is swept by a warming ocean breeze.

You will always be Beatrice to my Dante, Lady Brett Ashley to my Jake; and as dreams may come in the night: Sally Athelny to my Philip Carey.

Swish,...

Once, and forever, my most erotic, quixotic muse.

You've grown more refined in my mind and heart these last exciting few weeks than any fine Bordeaux Claret it has been my pleasure to sip.

And like you, I would sip that wine again, and again, and again.

Passion takes no prisoners.

This can't be some lustful whim on my part. I am too introspective to be this ripe, too cynical to be this concerned, and too pensive to turn the simplest of prose into stanzas like these.

But seeing you is like seeing angels flying down from heaven in the clear, starry, night skies above; or hearing the playground bustle with the giddy antics of innocent young children; or reclining under a tree in a lush, beautiful valley on a mild, windswept summer day; with the quiet solitude broken by the babble of the fresh stream that rushes through it.

No matter how puny and hollow such contrived words may seem from others; as ringing so very patently insincere, it is incumbent upon me to tell you, in the most modest terms, just how lucky I feel to have even written these to you.

Someday, someone may move you as no other ever has... or ever will.

My unfeigned hope is that all goes well for you both professionally, and especially in your private life. Should the pitfalls happen, as they have and will again in all our lives, it should assuage any angst, quell any qualm, and temper your hardest

582. trepidations and travails to know that in loving, kind, and heartfelt thoughts at least one strong, intelligent, and passionate man will forever care.

My lovely Calypso, I bid you au revoir,

HE

BOOLE: We need to escape from the deterministic influence of the point, circuit and torus attractors into the unpredictability of the Strange Attractor. This attractor is the basis of Self- Organization. There is no apparent order at all to the actions of the Strange attractor.

On the surface, it appears to be pure Chaos, but nevertheless, there is an order of a subtle kind which only appears over time when looked at in the right perspective. Its analogy in consciousness is the willing function. Yet, when tied to Awareness - the Zero - it is spontaneous, unpredictable. It appears to be chaotic, yet it has an order of a subtle, fractal kind.

The Strange Attractor can take an infinite number of different forms. All of them are fractal and demonstrate infinite self- similarity.

The best known fractal driven by the unpredictable Zero - the Strange Attractor - as noted earlier is called the Mandelbrot Set.

While most of the motion types mentioned give rise to very simple attractors, such as points and circle-like curves called limit cycles, chaotic motion gives rise to what are known as strange attractors, attractors that can have great detail and complexity. For instance, a simple three-dimensional model of the Lorenz weather system gives rise to the famous Lorenz attractor.

Strange attractors occur in both continuous dynamical systems (such as the Lorenz system) and in some discrete systems (such as

583. the Hénon map). Other discrete dynamical systems have a repelling structure called a Julia set which forms at the boundary between basins of attraction of fixed points - Julia sets can be thought of as strange repellers. Both strange attractors and Julia sets typically have a fractal structure.

BOOLE: On January 14th, 1918, in Petrograd, after a speech, assassins ambushed Lenin in his automobile; he and Fritz Platten were in the back seat when assassins began shooting into the automobile Platten grabbed Lenin by the head and pushed him down. Platten's hand was covered in blood, having been grazed by a bullet as he was shielding Lenin.

On 30 August 1918, Fanya Kaplan, of the Socialist Revolutionary Party, approached Lenin, again after a speech, as he walked to his automobile. Whilst Lenin rested a foot upon the running board, Kaplan called to him, and he turned to answer her, immediately, she thrice shot him — the first bullet struck an arm, the second bullet struck his jaw and neck, and the third bullet missed him, wounding the woman with whom he had been speaking; the wounded Lenin fell to earth, unconscious. Fearing other assassins at the hospital, he was taken to his Kremlin apartment. The attending physicians decided against removing the bullets, lest it endanger Lenin’s survival.

In the event, Lenin slowly recovered from his bullet wounds; Pravda ridiculed Fanya Kaplan as a latter-day Charlotte Corday (a murderess of Jean-Paul Marat), reassuring readers that immediately after surviving an assassination, “Lenin, shot through twice, with pierced lungs, spilling blood, refuses help and goes on his own.

The next morning, still threatened with death, he reads papers, listens, learns, and observes that the engine of the locomotive that carries us to towards global revolution has not stopped working.”

584.

Although his lungs were unharmed, the neck wound had spilled blood into a lung. Other than like press exhortations, the Russian folk were not informed about either the attempted assassination, or the assassin Fanya Kaplan, or of Lenin’s post-shooting health.

Historian Richard Pipes reports that “the impression one gains... is that the Bolsheviks deliberately underplayed the event to convince the public that, whatever happened to Lenin, they were firmly in control”. Contemporary popular response to the attempted assassination is described by Leonid Krasin in a 7 September 1918 letter to his wife:

“As it happens, the attempt to kill Lenin has made him much more popular than he was. One hears a great many people who are far from having any sympathy with the Bolsheviks, saying that it would be an absolute disaster if Lenin had succumbed to his wounds, as it was first thought he would. And they are quite right, for, in the midst of all this chaos and confusion, he is the backbone of the new body politic, the main support on which everything rests.” This second assassination attempt, Fanya Kaplan’s shooting of him, began the Lenin personality cult, which he discouraged; nevertheless, Lenin’s health declined, eventually leading to three strokes that eventually culminated in his death.

BOOLE: The end of the great singularity and the birth of self- similarity, self-organization and the endless possibilities of the ribbons of life of an ever expanding universe. That is dimension zero.

Again, the zero dimension is the point, the infinitely small placeholder. It exists not in space, but in time only. It is the moment between past and future, the subject, zero. It constitutes potentiality, the four space dimensions constitute actuality. The zero dimension is the home of Natural Numbers. The subject point, the moment, is zero, pure Awareness. Its numbers are the natural numerals.

THE ORB (voice fades in): Well, well, honey, so you are bit of a

585. player after all.

HE: All, and it does feel better than hating.

THE ORB: One thing you will have to balance in your id. Would you rather love someone or be loved if you only had one choice ?

HE: Yes, I understand. The Mass Hypnotist and his “ The Big Lie ” controllers don’t love us at all. They sell their souls to buy us and our love. Gotta chew on that.

THE ORB: By gosh, you got it. Alas, the khat is all gone. You're on your own now. And I am glad you are writing a one-man show instead of being one.

HE: Gone. Fuck that, I better look in the car.

NARRATOR: Without giving his house so much as a glance, he rushes out to the Tarnished Tank and searches the car like a rookie cop, slamming the trunk closed. Nothing, no khat, no fishing gear, no fish, no dirty clothes.

HE: This is like the twilight zone. Was it a road trip that ended up a lost weekend ? Am I a president ?

NARRATOR: He looks at his watch as he saunters inside.

HE (loud): Calling Doctors Mandelbrot and Alfvens !

NARRATOR: The calendar on his Casio chrono-alarm showed he had been gone almost 10 days. But where ? Was it all a dream ? He looks about his house.

HE (looking around the house): Holy smokes.

NARRATOR: A dream that somehow packed his house.

THE ORB: What about those dreams we had on the khat ? Was that a wild time or what ?

NARRATOR: He reaches into his back pocket and finds photos of Angel, Pam and Rena; a photo of Dulcinea, Coastie Amberly, and

586.

Kinky Kelly Klinger; and a picture of Captain Queeg, and Queequeg, the New-Yorker. He smiles.

HE (yelling for joy): Son of a bitch !

NARRATOR: Looking with a grin at Dulcinea's photo he sees Dulcinea, Coastie Amberly, and Kinky Kelly Klinger are all topless; each rimming the top of a pussy juice shooter shot glass. On the back is written Dulcinea's LA phone number and the recipe for a sound-as-a-pound pussy juice shooter.

ISLAND STYLE PUSSY JUICE SHOOTER Over Ice Mix 1oz Captain Morgan® Parrot Bay coconut rum 1/2oz grenadine syrup Splash of lime juice, orange juice, and pineapple juice Shake, strain, gulp and lick the rim

Angel's photo is a bit more provocative. She is on her knees naked with Rena and Pam, who are naked too, while a man’s arm pours a pitcher of white liquid on their breasts that sticks to them like, like fluorescent body paint. On the back, it reads:

GOT MILK ?

Angel's address and phone in Compton are clearly written as is the time to call.

The photo of Captain Queeg and Queequeg has them smiling and holding a massive, live blue crab. When he turned the photo over this was written:

THE RED DRUM: A FISTORY

THE ORB: What a ride ! Can just see the headline, “Stoned out winger moves in with hot, black, liberal babe, and hot white bisexual porn star, and screws himself to death in numerous FMF sessions with their friends.” Now that's a plot-line that would sell Milk, or to him. A black woman named Angel, and a quixotic white devil's imagination. Sounds like a match made in heaven.

587.

NARRATOR: He grabs his phone and looks at both photos.

HE (smiling): Bi, huh ?

THE ORB (smiling as it lifts up out of body): OOOOOh, yea, denim carpet, seize the lay, baby. Well, see ya, you be good.

HE (winking to The Orb and in a happy tone): Guess the question is, who do I call first ?

THE ORB (floating by the front door): Who or wherever it is I'll always be in your heart. Bye, honey, don't ever forget me.

BOOLE: So you are happy, are you ? Think you have won, Orb ? He has resolved his pain by disbelieving the depressing established truths of the “ The Big Lie ” , Mass Hypnotist controllers and embraced the upbeat notions of the outsiders who say there is hope only where there is life ?

THE ORB (stops floating and in a low voice says): Why yes.

BOOLE: Guess again, biotch.

NARRATOR: The sounds of a reading audience gasping and scattered boos and hisses are heard.

BOOLE: Temporary threshold shift (TTS) resulting from exposure to one and five toy cap gun pistol shots was once investigated using 11 normal-hearing adult subjects and one subject with a noise- induced hearing loss.

The subjects fired the cap gun at arm's length, and absolute thresholds at 4000 Hz were obtained before and after noise exposure by a fixed-frequency Bekesy technique.

After exposure to one gunshot, five subjects showed a small TTS, five demonstrated no TTS, and two (including the subject with the hearing loss) exhibited negative TTS. No TTS occurred in any of the subjects after exposure to five shots.

588.

It was postulated that the small amount of TTS was due to the unexpectedly low sound pressure level produced by the cap gun and to the contraction of the middle ear muscles in some subjects prior to firing.

EXT. Ground Zero - Day

NARRATOR: The crowd hears nothing as the silenced projectile whizzes from the blue-green cover of the self-similar ferns. Only the screams of human groans and a glass window breaking behind the Mass Hypnotist causes a distraction.

Had he missed ?

But it is enough to send the people into his visioned frenzy as the now mortal-acting Mass Hypnotist is rushed inside by the Squealers, Napoleons, and piglets.

He quickly breaks down Excalibur , then heads calmly for the Metrorail. Throwing away the soda bottle, the crutches, the now broken scope, crushed forend, and the pieces of the gun, except the barrel and receiver, from his coat lining. Then lastly, the outer coat. The barrel and receiver fit nicely, and warmly, in his jacket lining.

Downtown is in a panic as the Napoleons, Squealers, and piglets are combing the area.

He waits in a crowd for a Metrorail amid a rumor about the Mass Hypnotist getting shot. A bike policeman, the black cop he saw in his daydream, is notified of the shooting on his shoulder radio and is told to look for suspicious characters.

589.

The bike cop turns around and notices him and approaches, but it's too crowded and the cop is temporarily blocked as the Metro arrives. Just before the cop can reach him he gets on the Metrorail and escapes.

Getting off at the first stop he quickly dresses down in other Goodwill clothes. Then throws the barrel, gloves, baseball cap, and mustache into the nearby river.

HE (crying): I'll call to find out and then turn myself in.

THE ORB: There is nothing to find out. You missed. Thank you.

NARRATOR: He stops by the memorial to pay homage and apologize for his actions.

HE: Forgive me, I am just so sorry, so hurt, so seemingly random and powerless to help.

NARRATOR: Squealers pass the area in a whirl as their ribbons of bright rotating lights blind him.

THE ORB: No way this goes down, Boole. No way. Watch this. [Whispers in his ear.] Where there is life, there is hope.

BACK TO:

11110001011110101000010111010111

NARRATOR: He snaps out of his khat-induced delirium.

HE: What ? You're not leaving me, are you ?

THE ORB: Never, baby. Just think of me. Ignoring Boole is all I ever wanted. Just get on with your life.

HE (to the other woman in his life): My sister from another mister, you are hanging with me, right ?

THE NERDY COSMETOLOGIST (scrolling down her Kindle): I’m reading.

590.

NARRATOR: He is about to bid his best friends farewell when he finds a folded note in his front pocket. He opens the paper but barely glances at it, then turns to his friends one last time.

HE: Bye, Terri, Nerdy, we all luuuuu...

NARRATOR: He stops in mid-word; turning and looking at the note in shock as it drops from his hand.

THE ORB (smiling and laughing): We love you too. So farewell, and thanks for caring. Remember again, where there’s life there’s hope so the best revenge is to live well while you can.

NARRATOR: The Ubiquitous Orb disappears into the Florida sunset.

11100111111000110010001101000101

The note read: "Never forget The Oyster Pirates and The Queen of The Silver Dollar." - Love, D.K.

01111100100000011101100101100001 EPILOGUE (O.S.)

NARRATOR: And that's exactly how the fistory happened, or at least that's how he remembered it on that bright, clear, orange-sunshiny Florida day.

He had seen ribbons on humans and clusters of stars so bright and long that they gave him hope that the many great attractions he felt, the dreams he had, the dimensions he had traveled to would- would all lead him home. A man reborn, complete, self-organized, with a sense of the self-similar in all creations; and best of all, secure in the notion that no destruction was at hand. His hand was on him.

From where there was life, there was hope.

No longer would he proselytize, criticize, or deny. No longer

591. would he fear death, accept fate, or postulate hate. Life was too short and the immortal tapestry called the universe was full of far too much promise and far, far too great. He had found heaven on earth, he had found God.

After all, nothing is completely true and nothing is completely false.

THE ORB: And don’t forget, best of all, we have that happy ending that would surely make everyone feel good. Heck, maybe even sell.

HE: Won’t some dumb-ass editor, publisher, agent or reader be thrilled.

Swish

(He exits stage right.)

FADE OUT.

(CURTAIN SLOWLY FALLS... )

BOOLE (O.S.): What was that again, you quit me ?

HE (O.S.): Fuck ‘em all.

BOOLE (O.S.): Try that once more. And without feeling.

(... THEN QUICKLY RISES.)

WIPE BACK TO: EXT. Ground Zero - DAY

(He re-enters stage left.)

NARRATOR: In the shadows in the corner of the alley, swallowed by a mass of ferns, he waits hidden, and now in full view of the Mass Hypnotist -- just arrived by caravan -- and barely over 400 meters away.

HE: Perfect.

592.

BOOLE: Well within the maximum effective range of Excalibur .

NARRATOR: The Orb appears in bright orange light to try to distract his shooting eye.

THE ORB (interrupts frantically): Wait, wait, wait ! What are you doing ? I thought we had an understanding, the epilogue ?

HE (shields his eyes): We did. That one was for the revisionist historian; the editors; the shiny-happy statist people; the STAMOCAP, state capitalist government; and especially, for any suck-up reader who wants a happy ending. Unfortunately, here is how real life plays it out.

WIPE TO:

0111000110101101100111010001101

NARRATOR: From his nest hidden firmly in the ferns, the Mass Hypnotist’s center of mass will be the rostrum ahead and is almost perfectly in the crosshairs of the objective lens on the scope of the forward assembly. Again, in this sort of instance, it does not matter about what is beyond the target.

He recites B.R.A.S.S. while he preps the nest for Excalibur .

B - breath control, take a deep breath, exhale, take another deep breath and exhale half way:

R - mental and physical relaxation, as you quickly set your natural point of aim.

A - aim; stock weld to cheek and shoulder cushion; eye relief; hand positioning.

S - sight alignment and sight picture. Get exact eye relief (id est, the distance between the eye and the scope), find the center of mass of the target, focus on front sight -- in this case the cross hairs -- then see the target's mass blur; and, lastly and most importantly;

593.

S - slack and squeeze, or the slow, steady, even movement of the trigger completely to the rear using only the front pad of the shooter's right index finger until the hammer falls.

THE ORB (whispering): No, please, wake up, you’re a good man and good men make mistakes. [Pauses then screams.] Now wake up !

NARRATOR: The Orb again fills his eyes with a blinding aura of orange, blue and white lights.

BOOLE: Won’t work this time. Never been more alive than he is right now.

THE ORB: No, you are wrong, I came back to take care of him, he wants him to come home.

HE (his voice is very shaky, and nervous, as are his sweaty hands): Not yet.

THE ORB: Why ?

HE (in a very weak, trembling voice): Why not ?

THE ORB: Things take time to heal. Please, just walk away.

BOOLE: The passive ape. A Mass Hypnotist’s target and market.

NARRATOR: Target acquired, he hides in the ferns, shadowed by the dimly lit alley near this newest Ground Zero . Heart pounding -- and still nervously removing the rest of Excalibur from his crutches -- he attaches the two assemblies quickly in the pitch- black, darkest shadow covered by large green fern leaves. Something he had done blindfolded many times.

(The Mass Hypnotist enters stage center.)

He takes quick aim. There is just enough light on the podium and he can see the Mass Hypnotist smiling that arrogant smile in the crosshairs of the objective lens. It is a smile seen throughout

594. history, a smile that hides a villain.

THE ORB (pleading and crying in desperation): How can I dissuade you ? The world is not going to burn up, blow up, melt, collapse, or become eco-techno slaves in a faux, cult bureaucracy. It is not finite. Life and the universe are endless in possibilities if we just let go.

HE: There are plenty of reasons to do this. Let’s not let them, or ourselves, live in self-deception. I can do this, even if just once.

THE ORB (emotional): Thought you were going to survive this, for me, for all of us ?

HE: Do you actually think the Mass Hypnotist lackeys will ever let me survive to write my narrative correctly ? To explain ‘the Great Correction ’ ? Self-deception of the tallest order.

THE ORB: Then walk away. Did you listen when we said, “where there is life there is hope” ? Please talk to me, it is not an oblivion express, you have happiness just around the bend. What will it take for me to enlighten you and disestablish this insanity ?

HE (pulls a vile from his buttoned pocket): The death of all Mass Hypnotists [Crescendo voice as he pops the vile red pill in his mouth.] ALL progressive Red Terrorists !

THE ORB: No ! Not the poison pill, not because of the Mass Hypnotists , BCE Fascists. I can’t take you home if you do.

NARRATOR: He bites down on the poison pill, takes a deep breath, then slowly recites B.R.A.S.S. real-time as he takes careful aim.

B - breath control, take a deep breath, exhale, take another deep breath and exhale half way:

R - mental and physical relaxation, as you quickly set your natural point of aim.

595.

A - aim; stock weld to cheek and shoulder cushion; eye relief; hand positioning.

S - sight alignment and sight picture. Get exact eye relief (id est, the distance between the eye and the scope), find the center of mass of the target, focus on front sight -- in this case the cross hairs -- then see the target's mass blur; and, lastly and most importantly;

S - slack and squeeze, or the slow, steady, even movement of the trigger completely to the rear using only the front pad of the shooter's right index finger until the hammer falls.

Then squeezes the trigger gently backward using only the front pad of his right index finger. He feels it travel slowly passed the slack area. The hammer is about to fall; releasing Excalibur’s fury.

THE ORB (screaming): Why won’t you listen to me anymore ?

BOOLE: Why should he ? He had found his place in the chaos, the fractal, his 15 minutes, the dimension zero, Quanta, self- similarity and self-organization. There is nothing any one thing can do. He has arrived at his place in the circle, and not even the strange attractions that had led him can stop it. It was meant to be. He grows immortal by the second. Tales will be told, books written, movies made, conspiracies pondered.

THE ORB (truthful moment of sober clarity): Don’t tell me you are doing this for me, for us. You are doing this so Boole will enshrine you.

HE (a loud rage amidst flowing tears and the swallowing of his poisoned pill): No, I am doing this for you and the hundreds of millions before and after you !

THE ORB (weak voice): But the world will want to know why he did this thing. What was your motivation ?

HE (stuffs the last of the Qat in his mouth and instantly calms

596. his nerves): Tell them ‘the Great Correction ’.

BOOLE: If we can get angry at God, then God must get angry at us too.

THE ORB (calmly to him): But who, who will we say told you to do this ?

BOOLE (laughing): The Wizard of Oz ?

THE ORB (snaps at Boole): Shut up ! [To him.] Can’t you see it was he that made you do this ?

BOOLE: Paranoia: a psychosis characterized by systemized delusions of persecutions or grandeur usually, without hallucinations.

HE: Like a citation, or plagiarism, what does it really matter ?

NARRATOR: The hammer falls like a lonely leaf, and the silenced

Bang !! you’re dead.
