To the media: Remember that you have the power to control the message delivered to the people. Whatever you speak into existence will occur. Be sure that your phrasing and the ideas you express reflect the vision you have for the future. "Probably Won't"="Not" (another riddle)

Favorite remarks from site user:

"Good job on keeping things cool and well spoken. Your website exhibits quite a bit of control - your adjectives could include evil bastards every now and again without being extreme."

and, regarding a piece I wrote for another purpose called

"The Privilege & Honor of Serving A Commitment"

"...statement is right on and could have been written by me, I have always felt this passionately about justice and equality! The sentiment expressed there is the only viable goal for humanity I think.

I have this info posted on other places on the site, but since a certain activity gets focused here I thought this would be a good place and time to say something. Given that this site definitely doesn't make a profit... I want it to be clear to all people and organizations that I in no way take for granted or wish to abuse the use of materials on this site. Should you wish links to your sites be discontinued, presented in a different way or referred to in a particluar way, please feel free to contact me at crj@democraticfundamentalism.org with the subject including "Publications".

My recent stats as posted on the front page reflect unique hits on the home page only. In addition, I factor about 10% off that number because of people who I know come back more than once per week. This does not include informal syndication to other websites. People on this site generally view 4 pages onsite... then use 5-6 links to other sites before having completely exited this site... per visit. I expect post-election traffic will go down as much as 30% in the next 6 weeks simply due to post-election surfer fatigue and holidays, but a great deal more activity through news groups.. so it'll be interesting.

It's funny... I woke up this morning, attempting to focus my energies.. and what I do when I do that is think, or look at myself in the mirror, and come up with a way, in one sentence, to communicate who I am in the matter of what I want to accomplish. This morning, it was "I am someone willing to do anything legal and honest in order to contribute to the world".

Hard to tell why I found it important to share that...:}

I can tell this is going to be an interesting day. I keep viewing what the Bush Administration and people of his ilke want to do... I'll go into it in depth and how, in the loosest terms, I actually agree with the theorhetical sociolgical change they are attempting to enforce... except that I believe it should be free-will based and that a great deal can be accomplished through positive proganda instead of negative propaganda. Fascinating. And people would want the positive influence. I actually enjoy most of the commercials on tv... and I used to ignore them. Completely.

I really get excited about what's going on with the Union. By Thursday, we will have our first real alliance with an organization in the UK... then I'll pull in some info from some folks in Moscow... we've decided to do a documentary on the trip... including the part of going to the Apartheid Museum. Just haven't figured out if we should do it ourselves, or pitch it to someone. It'll be much different than you've ever seen on the subject of Africa. It'll be about Africa, but it won't really be about Africa. Another riddle. I've been reading too much Joyce.

If you hear from our PR Person.... keep in mind, we're just out to do good.. like I said "to turn people into friends... in the end".

Some of the organizations aligning with the Union include some incredible and incredibly well known experts in the field of ecology and rainforests, one of the finest research institutes in America, having done a great deal of research on a subject I actually pitched to them once... replicatable social programs... and some synchronicity that occurred to someone in my group which will likely result in a grant to fund the Africa project. The head of a certain foundation just felt compelled to call. :} By the way, we expect the Afghanistan trip will occur immediately after the Africa trip.

This travel program is called Bridges to the World... and it will be ongoing.

Are we ever going to get to see the Saudi Arabian satellite channel?

Gore just needs exposure. And a good vice-president. :}

7:30pm pt - Eisntein, poetry... guess I'll have to wait til tomorrow to figure out why I can't get Sam Donaldson off my mind :}

11/17/2002 -

I'm doing a little chuckling this morning... everytime I hear tv people talking about their low pay... and I hear it on lots of channels right now... must be an AFTRA negotiation going on right now... anyway, I can't help but remember a producer who I dated a few times in Atlanta who wanted an on-air position, but was told her voice was too nasal. So, after she and I met at a party, I discovered her real interest was for me to teach her to speak from the diaphram, and round out her words.... That took about 20 minutes... never saw her again, not even on tv..:} When I think of all the philosophical discussions she had to sit through just to get to voice lessons...

One of my complaints about getting older: my spelling skills are getting atrocious. Have you noticed?

Interesting thought,Wesley Clark for Pres... fits right in with prophecy... I wonder how many politicians actually read the Bible? I'm a fan of his, btw. That was not at all a personal comment. I hope he reads his Bible first, though. Matthew would be good. Prudent. Remember, folks, the real political battle is based on religion, not politics as usual. Learn it and use it and represent it truthfully. There are many, many people seeking the truth these days... and their fear of Amageddon is not solely based on the Iraqi situation.. it's the appeasement of Israel using old testament scripture, while implementing a New Testament agenda, requiring a conversion to an American brand of Christianity. That is not what the Bible calls for. Our first priority is to creat peace. It is God's perrogative to wage war and implement destruction to purge the infidels. I hate using that word, but it fits. Their agenda, not mine.

Have you noticed that Bin Laden, whether he got word of this site or not and my request that he do so, has now issued a statement that DOES explain some of his complaints, his conditions for an end to conflict and such... I'd publish it if I could get a copy... I'm sure GW would love to use that as a means to get me for material assistance..

I'm re-opening the"Soon to be united nations" this week. I'll use it to qualify myself as having experience in international relations... and you think I'm joking.. :}

Did you notice the Carter interview the other day? I keep saying Global Peace and abundance for all... he said, global peace, and health care for all... The question is, will he see me? I'm using all my strings on this one. :}

Speaking of icons... it would be interesting to look at the backgrounds of those writing books on certain subjects these days... ie the Kennedy book. I'd hat to think we'll empower people to sell books on favorite topics, when they have the intent to destroy the image of yet another icon in America that provides hope as a role model...

Yes, I do question everything. :}

Understand, I'm not patting myself on the back about anything... I'm really not. I'm just noticing that I'm not the only one with the opinions and ideas.. maybe celebrating... and being a little thankful that what I think and say is basically in the ballpark. What's difficult is that my perspective seems to be much different than most.

Vegas and free-market purists... see, it fits. It really does. And ya'll think I'm crazy. Or something...

Meanwhile, have you noticed the pattern of the FBI making announcements, and then GW and Company lambasts them? Looks like a setup for me... if I was in the FBI, I'd sure start resenting being a fall guy... The timing of these announcements... and GW's tongue-lashing is just a little too convenient in the scheme of Goehring's writing on How To Persuade the People to go to war. It's like Sharaon not going after Arafat... ever notice that everytime they've surrounded Arafat in the compound, American polls show that we are not as willing to go to war against Iraq. It's no coincidence. I dare you to check it out.

More chuckling over how some highly visible people are quoting my analysis of certain things... people not in the news business.. maybe after the next elections, I'll write a book about that... it's nice to see, though, that certain people did read my letters and actually have found a use for the info.... even though they view me as subversive... :} Or, at least a maverick. Maybe they don't at all. How could I possibly know.

Watched Time Machine again last night... eerily prophetic... but I still say it's about creating the future not changing it. Remember, when he changed it, it created something. Change is bad, creation is good. Time for a reformation. Or, should I say, counter-reformation.

Who's selling off all this JFK/FDR stuff? I'm a little afraid to know.

"Our defenses reflect our wounds. But no person can heal those wounds. They can give us love, innocently and sincerely, but if we're already convinced that people can't be trusted-if that's the decision we've already made-then our mind will construe whatever someone's behavior is, as evidence that our previously drawn conclusion was correct. The Course tells us we decide what we want to see before we see it."

This journal becomes more diverse minute by minute... I keep all the pages, like a diary... thought it might be interesting to map my own "education and transformation" as I prepare for my next task. Typically, I consider myself to be an expert at something in 3 months, a master in 6. This one's going to take a bit longer, but I'm engaged... :} What an interesting night.. One book leads me to the Book Principles of the Political Economy while at the same time, leading me to something I've been wanting to find... the Index Liborum Prohibitorum... and I am now in the process of locating many of those... ya never know what you don't know... not long ago, I said somewhere in this heap that I wish I could find the books and writings banned by the church centuries ago... Eureka!!! Wow.

Also lead me to an Eisntein quote that I really like... I was reading in the book Einstein the Life and Times by Ronald W. Clark, and was reading about the period in which he was vocal against Hitler and released "The Fight Against War".. and came across this somewhat relevant quote:

"If others often plague thee And do or say evil of thee Think also they came here Without having asked for it. Think, though you may not like it, You too plagued others often, As this cannot be altered, think gently of everyone."

Finding that was quite satisfying given that I have finally reached a place once again where the golden retriever in me has surfaced. Inside the context of that quote I find myself in a position of needing to deliver as many apologies as I expect, although doubt there will be an opportunity to exchange them. Given all that I have been writing and reading today, one would think that the acknowledgement of the necessity provides suitable compensation for the moment.

Each weekend, I spend time replaying what I've seen and heard, and taking information that I collected that I have not yet processed into categories and cross-references and indexing in my mind (MROOT) I have discovered numerous magazines and newspapers which have presented materials I have been writing about for months... and it makes me curious to know if people are reading my materials or if I am simply 3-6 months ahead of the collective consciousness... given the remarks of some who would actually be aware of the source of what they are expressing I must only conclude that there are things in play of which I have no knowledge but may provide peril, and therefore, behoove me to exercise patience and continue to feel and express my love in covert manners... in my mind, often, and without condition, but with great passion and care. I often find there are people who I consider to be my family, with all the protectiveness and ministry of all sorts such as I would give to my own child. Many times, these people are not aware of my commitment or understand my ways, or are unwilling to acknowledge what it might offer, still my concern and affection dord not waiver, in what could only be an unrequieted love. One that others could not possibly understand the basis for.

It has, indeed, been a "heavy" day, providing much knowledge and healing and inspiration. Today, I am in the presence of love once again, and embrace it like a child with a toy, a smile and a giggle, wonder and delight, and tears of redemption.

Yep, there'll be poetry in the books, too. Haven't written poetry in years, but it just seems to flow, now. I don't even mean to. That's a real good sign.

Now, all I have to do tonight is read Einstein's thoughts on parallel universes and what, in modern times, would be considered astral projection... and listen to Peter Gabriel in an entirely new context.

Would it be presumptuous to say, Thanks, Clive, you're getting the job done splendidly? And would he even know what I mean? I hope so.

11/16/2002 - 11am PT

Once I actually woke up this morning, I began to get excited. Back in the saddle again... :} We'll call it good news... You'd be amazed who's lining up behind the projects of the Global Democratic Citizens' Union... it's like a who's who of the NGO and world of the "intellectually elite"... if nothing else, we hope the trip to Africa will be a little safer because of who will be with us. An important consideration these days. Right now, we're encouraged that we'll start the trip from the East Coast, being addresses by a recent Nobel Prize winner, and then, in South Africa, after our work is done there (folks with deliver materials, supplies and provide training and education while I meet with leaders of nations and organizations) we fully expect to hold a rally, addressed by another Nobel Prize winner... Nothing's firm, but we have no reason to think it'll fall through. A few people will be shocked when, in January, we announce this trip in a news conference in New York, possibly from the United Nations... with cooperation from a certain former US Congressman... and we'll see who's willing then to be in contact with me (just playin') as I make the announcements, and enunciate the goals of the Union. It'll be a kick. The first book should have come out by then. What a coincidence.

I've decided the first 2 books have to come out almost simultaneously... since one of them is simply the enunciation of my opinions... as you well know... that won't be too difficult for me.

Meanwhile, I really do have to take the books offline... I really do wish I didn't need the money, because I'd much rather leave them online for free view... but that's reality. The third book, my analysis of various religions, will come out later, and will be 100% for charity.

So, I gotta take 'em offline.. but I thought I'd give you one last taste... if you haven't seen www.charlesrehn.com ya might want to And, on www.globaldcunion.org check out "My Little Corner"... I put up the first draft of chapter 1 of For the Love of the World, which has changed considerably... but you'll probably find this interesting. I'm going to leave the preface online anyway, though.

Speaking of religions... have you seen the program on PBS... on Islam and Mohammed? It's amazing... especially as they explain the monotheistic approach, a call for a global renaissance of the arts and calling the poets and musicians prophets of the time.. for those who have been following this, it's kind of spooky, isn't it?

People really want me to run as an unaffiliated candidate.. sort of like a referendum on the status quo... it's an amazing strategy that will utilize many organizations to forward the action, instead of having to build a huge central org... not reliant on tons of money OR mass media coverage. We'll know by May what and if I'll actually do... but it looks like a Winnebago is definitely in my future. The goal that everyone agrees on is 10-15 million new voters.

Now, if only I could sell a few songs... :} Bob Roberts is a hero. :}

Guess you could say, I'm basically over my disenchantment with certain individuals... but, I won't forget. I'm sure you won't either. I'll only have a couple more things to say in the long run. But, trust... hmmm

Check out the new Phil Collins

Got a double delight last night, Al Gore and Dave Lettermen.. Maybe we can get a street named after Al... in Florida.. The Al Gore Memorial Causeway... or something like that...:}

Kudos once again to LK. You always answer a few questions or start an inquiry for me. Dr. Phil was particularly useful in terms of process.

PSS: Did you figure out the riddle?

Here's one of those great horoscopes that started showing up in my email.. for today

There are no rules out on the cutting edge. You're strong enough for anything, and positive that it will all turn out for the best. Your every desire is signed, sealed and delivered.

6:30 pm: I think I'm going to start a Jimmy Carter fan club! And I fully intend to campaign on the issue of foreign aid... lots of people would vote for it.

11/15/2002 - updated 3:30pm pt

Well, finally finished writing a 'cast... just don't really have the enthusiasm to do it.. but I will later... about the King Brothers, the Biblical version of the Prodigal Son... Total Information Awareness...

You might think my lethargy is about the Democrats... it's not.. though i must admit they have no sense for presenting things in a way that people can quickly latch onto... people in the public sector are not wonks, and they don't know what the issues are. Buzzwords and things that point ot specific issues don't relate unless you educate them first. By the way, I figured that out when working at ngo's ... I remember one time someone sid "I work for a poverty lobby" and I didn't know what they meant. And I thought I knew what was going on. That's what was different about the TB Knows No Borders Campaign, and working with the Police Chiefs on Headstart. Symbols people could easily latch onto.

One thing that would help is to have the DEMS put a web page on their site saying when and what stations the radio address is on across the country... webmasters like me could do a server-side include and incorporate that page onto our websites... anytime you change it, it would be automatically updated on our sites immediately. Can you see the value in that?

The lethargy is not about Bush, not about CNN... it's about viewing the world and seeing so much strife, and considering what it will take to bring the insanity to an end... it's almost time... I still say, America will be ready for my message in January... and I will make it available... you think you know what that means, but you don't. Either do I actually. Sometimes, Ican sit and look at the wall for days, and suddenly, the dots all come together, and off I go. Massive reorganization of thought. It's rarely instantaneous.

Check out the new Phil Collins... a song called Don't Get Me Started.. another great album loaded with cuts with lyrics that could have been inspired by this site :} Cracks me up.. but check out the tune, and the scripts on my broadcasts... all the times I said what this song says... and then said... don't get me started.. all I know is the message is getting out there, the Revolution has begun and the Renaissance will bring about the change. Glad to see it happening.

Now, if I could just see the path to the answer I need to get me started again...I'll find it... it's there... I still say, when all is said and done, depending on how you measure success, I still win. That's what keeps me going.

Think of all the interesting stuff you'll have to point to with all this stuff I write after I'm famous. I know, more arrogance, but that was actually part of the fun I was trying to give someone out there. But, then, it would only have value if you believed.

Have a great day.

Go Arthel!!!!

How about America Safe & Sound

5:15 Programming Note:

Using the word change is a mistake, because it carries automatic negative connotations. These days, words either have no impact or mean something different than they were intended to mean... therefore, you need to use a new word that you can define yourself... otherwise, it's just another word people really don't listen to anymore. Create the Future works... want it? send me an email. Bottomline, transformation occurs in creation, not change. Upgrades, not new systems... etc. Positive connotations, or new words that you define. This is imperative. Study Newt.

Here's one for you: If heritage.org can tell the Republicans what to do, why can't I tell the Democrats? :} It's a free country. So far.

2:15pm - Music

PS: I'm really glad Billy got some of the action. They always use that tune. I shared the same sentiment since it was a hit. But, then, that would be predictable. :} I still think Late at Night was exceptional, though.

11/14/2002- 10:30am

I love lines like Is he lying about telling the truth, or telling the truth about lying. (I wrote that, and 5 seconds later, Martin Savidge said it. sigh. Just turned on the set, too.) Anyway. So, I thought, I'm going to check my communications, and see if I've stretched the truth to anyone during this campaign.

Every once in a while I think of how I didn't talk to my mother for 10 years.. not because of what happened while I was growing up. But, afterward, she deceived me about something that hurt me very deeply. I have a deep love for truth, and I accept truth very easily, good or bad, because it is what is. And I am always willing to consider the merits of anything.

Let's see... I never tell people I love them casually. Never. Even if they don't understand what it is I love. And I never speak ambiguously or in a way that leaves conclusions up to interpretation except when I'm dealing with people who I perceive to be a danger, in which case, I'm highly skilled at keeping them a little confused and off-balance. I bounce back quickly from any setback, except about personal things like love and deception from those I really trust. The same reason I hung up my guitar for 3 years. And I don't give the kind of trust that makes me vulnerable very often. I never stop loving someone I've loved. Even if I can't love them or they don't love me.

I think about how, the day my wife and I decided to divorce, I spent the morning writing a song that went "It doesn't even matter if you tell me that we're through, just tell me the truth". It's funny, I write my best music about things I imagine, as opposed to things that are occurring... except when it's about this one person who I've written more music about than anyone or anything. (And, just for the record, I really have written hundreds of songs since I was a little kid.)

In a few weeks, I expect to be moving. Who knows where to. Usually, when I submit airchecks, it takes 2 days to get a job... on a music station, anyway. I'll be submitting tapes today. By next week, I should know. I'm going for chains with talk radio stations. I'd prefer to work at the station where Jeff Renner works. Though a country station brings out my corniest jokes, and those listeners really like that. High female dems. Men take about 6 weeks to lock in. Talk about "Play Misty for Me." I've had one of those everywhere I worked. I'm looking forward to it (radio) because I love playing music for people, it's lots of fun. I dance in the studio alot... bring in my keyboards and guitar and play along... people think I'm nuts... but we have a good time. Anyway, it's alot of fun for me.. real art... even though you don't get to make the mixes anymore. And it'll give me a great mental space to write in.

Thus ends this morning's mental reorganizational dump. :} I think I've talked myself into the mood to write a song. And, as for what I said above.. I'll assume it answers some questions for the people who know what I'm addressing. But I so believe that anything can be resolved, and anything is possible through communication. And I'm nearly on the edge of possibility once again.

11/14/2002 early am

Forgot to mention: actually did 1 open mic last week - 5 tunes... got a standing ovation... actually, it was the bartender...well, she was standing up anyway:} but seriously.. it went alright. Wasn't embarrassed at all.

You gotta appreciate this: So, I'm kind of tired of the news.. every few months I get like that.. Besides, after my remarks yesterday, I didn't really want to see a report about 1 man vs the Mormons... }

So, a while back, while I was using AOL to get online, about the time I first put my music online, there was this ad on the screen for a club in Seattle featuring an artist called: Cornelieus: Japanese Multimedia Musician. Of course I had to look. There was nothing about him when I went to the link, but there was a schedule of when they did open mics for musicians. I wasn't ready for that, but took it as a sign, and saved the page to my computer for later reference.

Tonight, I decided I'd go up and check the room... see if I was ready for that yet. So, I go in.. and I usuaully hang out with people 5-15 years older than me... more context to conversations... so I sat by 2 men and a woman who were probably in their mid-50's.

Had a drink.. and we talked about the news and all.. we talked about James Ujaama, and they were telling me how they liked to watch Fox News, and they asked me what I watched. Of course, I said CNN. They said really? I said, sure. They said, do you ever watch that Lou Dobbs guy?

I said "Every once in a while"

And they proceeded to tell me that while he worked in Seattle, they weren't real close friends, but they used to hang out every once in a while.

I said "Oh, really".

And they proceeded to tell me numerous stories of the young lad.

I'm telling you the truth. I really am. I could barely contain my laughter.

So I came home, listened to a cut on the new Phil Collins album... had to hear that "Can't Stop Lovin You" ever since I saw the commercial.. great album.. then turned on the tv, saw an ad for the Mormon program, looked at the scroll, and there was a story about James Ujaama. Just then, Andy Rooney was on... not synchronous... but I've been doing Randy Looney parodies to my dog ever since. And I guess I'm gonna watch the Mormon thing. If you didn't catch the Randy Looney thing... here's the url.. it's at the end of the spots from KCRE. Not great quality... but

So, is Marv Albert going to be on on Friday? Or Shirley McClaine? How's Jerry Doing? And Mattie? Whatever happened to...

Is there an an /off switch for this stuff? Gotta admit though, this round was pretty amusing.

PS. A riddle: All I can say is, I am who I am, whoever I am, I be who I be, I do what I do, I see what I see, create & believe. You figure it out. I can't. As Peter Gabriel says "Receive & Transmit" :}

11/13/2002 pm - Remember when I said people will hear what I had to say about what's going on, reject it, turn away and then come back? They're coming back, saying "I've been reading the bible... did you know...?" Now I'm being asked to lead Bible study groups. Weird.

Franklin was correct, that doesn't mean it's right. And Grubman, seems to me, is just typical of corporate America... and the ethic that's being taught to Americans.. do what it takes.

------------------------

11/12/2002 -

Epiphany & Synchronicity.. you have no idea how much I wish they'd leave me alone at times.

First, I want to say again that my Bible studies are not so much about religion as much as they are about understanding what's going on in the world and this country. I have to admit, it deepens my beliefs, but it really hasn't changed my mind about anything, except that I'm more sure of things than ever.

Day before yesterday, I harvested a jackpot, and didn't know it until this morning, because of something that happened yesterday. I also have another here, there and everywhere story about someone I haven't seen since 1967.

Today's revelation is also why I realized I can't take this section off the site. One of my 3 "manuals" requires it.

So, the other day, I was talking about fundamentalist Christianity, and differences between the new and old Testaments. All from the Winona Ryder movie. Weird. I had said, if we were really going to be fundamentalist, then we would take our prodigal sons and stone them to death. Straight out of Deuteronomy. Yesterday, Jack Burkman said more countries should use the death penalty on juveniles. Just a modern day adaptation of putting the prodigal son to death. That's one of the more interesting things I examine in all this... what is the modern day adaptation of certain "brutalities" in the Bible.

The one that really worries me has to do with Deuteronomy's description of instructions for war, specifically, the spoils of war... which includes killing all the males in a culture, and, if you see a woman you like, you get to take her. Not sure I want to discover that implementation. Those brutalities, of course, are very direct counters to the claims that Islam's Muhammad was a terrorist. Just as it would appear that the Bible doesn't have a problem with polygamy. Or divorce. Very interesting stuff. Sometimes I think that, more than anything else, in the Christian religions, I am really a Mormon but don't really know it. :} But I don't want 2 wives.

BTW, Springsteen's Song about Mary's Place... figured it out. Hand in hand with a Gabriel cut. That'll make the guys at Langley musical for a day. Then there's the old Sparks album... it's not significant, but they'd enjoy it alot. :}

Here's a question for you... if DEMS know that their problem in the last election was no message or messenger, why didn't they do something about it in the election? See, I'm having a real problem beleiving they have the savvy to get it together. Not intelligence, just actual willingness to develop a strategy. ( If I had voted for the Iraq Resolution, I could have easily spoken out against a war as well.) It's like, before I read The Prince, I was doing one of the chapters of The Prince. The one the DEMS should be using, just like Bill did. Like I said, I didn't know I was doing it. But I find I have excellent instincts in that area of politics... always have.

What I'm not good at... speaking of insincts... when I got back from Atlanta, and then had to deal with more "corruption" in my home state as well as marginally "unusual" other employment situations immediately after, I fully admit I was pretty frazzled and on edge. That's why I moved to Yosemite. I learned, through my childhood, how to tell when I needed to withdraw in order to protect myself physically and emotionally... I'm not saying it's a good thing, but resilience does pay off. When I feel defeated, I allow the feeling so that I can think through it until I resolve it for myself.

One of the things that came out of it.. because I love people deeply and unconditionally... and they actually have to prove themselves a danger for me to withhold that love or respond negatively or use verbal protective force... not theway most people operate... and I forget that at times...

Anyway... so when people do things that threaten me or betray me, they only really get one chance. That doesn't mean I won't work with them, but I likely will never trust them again. It very much has to do with numerous comments I've made lately... it's one of those conditions that throws me into... as I told GW, a nasty son of a bitch that you want off your back.. I 'm actually sad that the Atlanta and corruption stuff took some of the niceness off my veneer... what shows up as weakness in me is actually graciousness, which, these days, most people take advantage of. Just the way the world works these days. Creates for me the the distinctions friends, acquaintances, business associates and potential dangers. How I categorize people can change in a flash based on their behavior. And I'm pretty generous when making the judgement call. And it's rarely made based on whether people agree with me or not.

I'm a very loyal person. And I protect those who are loyal to me. I stand beside people, even when they make mistakes. I just refuse to break the law. If I do, it's by accident. Except, of course, for the times I smoke mj.

I also look at much of my basic upbringing as being very much like being in an austere military family. There's alot of good and bad to that. My other major influence, though has to do with living in the country, and around ranching and farming.

How do I put this properly?

When Stayner was in Yosemite killing people, I was living there. I knew the people he killed. When the DC snipers were on the loose...well, what I'm getting at is that I know that, in terms of psychological profiles, that my background would suggest a "loner's profile" and someone who could crack. But, it's just not the case. What has occurred in my life has been extreme. For the most part, I've actually always been a people person. I've only had one time in my life where I was prone to violence, and it was way back in 1978, and it was in defense of a black friend of mine who was being physically threatened. I have never owned a weapon (other than my pellet gun) because I decided if I lived somewhere where I needed one to protect myself, then it was time to move. But I was well trained on how to use them properly, and about the value of life. There are reasons why I've brought that background up on this site. Given what I've told you about what has happened to me since I opened this web site, I'll trust you to figure out why I made sure to bring it up when I have.

With that... I know it seems like I'm flip-flopping on my "thoughts and feelings" about DEMS and other associations.. the truth is, I am. There are many considerations, strategic, that are going thru my head these days... advantages & disadvantages, my way of doing things, other people's ways of doing things... making sure I don't allow myself to feel I'm among friends when I'm around business associates... all that kind of stuff... tempered by what my commitment is... to America.

I haven't done a newscast because the research I've been doing exposes some very sensitive issues... and "the deeper I go the darker it gets".. and in terms of evaluating alliances, and protecting myself while forwarding my objectives, I've been a little stumped on how to proceed... especially since I want to be accurate about certain things.

I'm going to go ahead and start the reports again, but they'll be pretty timid for a week or two. Just thought you might be curious.

One other thing... I found out about 2am this morning that some materials were sent out from my office yesterday... Just want you to know I had nothing to do with it.

Just saw Edwards at the Forum... I was curious about him. Close, but no cigar.

This thing about not over-reaching? And the social programs... watch as the economy and all go downhill, and just before the 2004 elections, he announces his FDR impression of a new deal.. That's why I've already started creating "my new deal". It'll be in the book.

I'm gonna clobber 'em with the "look to the past" thing. That was a hint, folks. Have you studied FDR, really? There are 5 or 6 other sub-plots from the past they're using, too.

First, an addition to the 11/8 comments. I made a remark a month or so about Shaquille O'Neill and some symptoms he was having... feverish, weak.. which caused him to miss his youth basketball camp in Florida. I made a remark to the effect that he should shut down his furnace system. I know that sounded strange... but since I've talked about a number of things that have occurred since beginning this web site, there is one more thing that relates to the Shaq comment. About 10 days before his illness... and I don't know what it was... I had 4 or 5 days where I was constantly ill.. and the only pattern I could find is that for some reason, my furnace never shut off, and I felt better if I went outside or opened all the windows in the house. I went to the furnace... discovered that the controls had been replaced with one that never shut off. The heat pump had been disconnected. And, I inspected the inside of the furnace and discovered modifications that vented the exhaust into the fan that pushed the air into the house. All in all, it meant that I was getting fed a great deal of carbon monoxide. Once I completely shut down the air system in the house, I was fine. I believe this was right after I stated that I had information regarding the CIA's involvement in the assassination of JFK. 2 days after that statement, a man who was the last of the initial investigators of the assassination to the Warren Commission died in a small plane crash in New England.

In the spirit of here, there and everywhere....

After the death of JFK, there was a woman in Carmel, California who became famous in the area of the conspiracy to assassinate Kennedy. I can't recall her name at the moment.. Mavery I think... anyway. I had a little audio/record & tape shop in Santa Cruz. And part of what I did there was repair cassette and 8track tapes, as well as do custom duplication of audio tapes for the City of Santa Cruz and the Sheriffs Department.

One day, a Sheriff came in with about 4 hours of audio tapes of telephone conversations.. the audio was so bad that I had to monitor the copying in order to maintain audible volume levels. The Sheriff insisted on sitting next to me the entire time. I'll add, when I billed Santa Cruz for the duplication, they wouldn't pay the bill because they had no record of the officer as being employed in any way in Santa Cruz. The tapes included a variety of conversations... with this woman and Marilyn Monroe... John Kennedy and Marilyn Monroe, and a couple of other voices I didn't recognize. I'll only say that some of the conversations were before and after her death and his death. I was spooked by what I heard.

As Forrest Gump would say, "That's all I have to say about that".

Interestingly enough, I didn't really mean to use that quote, but the next thing I have to say actually has to do with a story I happened upon tonight while attempting to create the News in Review... for which there is plenty of News.... and, I've been doing some pretty intense research in the Bible and Torah in the last week as part of my research into what I call the apocalypse report, which I entitled partly tongue in cheek, partly as a hook for an environmental report, and partly in response to my Christian beliefs, further supported by my recent research.

Even the crown recently given to Putin for his birthday has the serious theorhetical potential for Biblical implications in Revelations... (just as the bombing of the World Trade Center is actually described in the Revelations. Really, it is. There's no mistaking it. And it could be just another repetition of history, but I don't think so.) Even the Bible, with a little extended research, states that the period of the Tribulations could begin and be interrupted or canceled, if you will, as society responds to ecological and environmental and biomedical degradation and catastrophe by returning to a more fundamentalist existence (but not like Jerry and Franklin say... what they preach is not in the Bible, unless you refer to the part where the beginning of the end of Gentile domination of the world begins to come to an end)

And, this sort of intellectual distraction that I'm going to describe has been why I actually took the last week off. I don't know of any time that I've been more hungry for information. At the same time, to put the rest of this in context, I have to say that I don't believe in coincidences, and I fully believe in synchronicity... I could say a few more things about that, but to preserve the perception of my sanity, I won't. I'll say that I've had numerous "epiphanies", akin to what I describe as massive reorganization of thought... I've heard lots of newscasters on many networks as well as newspapers talk in recent months of epiphanies, give descriptions described as being of Biblical proportions... and when I do research in the Bible, it fits. I'd sure love to compare notes with them all regarding what they call their epiphanies... maybe we could all do a book together called "The book of epiphanies"... :}

Nonetheless... so here I am writing this simple news report about a guy who's been harrassing Robert Zmeckis... about a script he wrote called Love and Evolve.... which is not all that unlike what I'm writing called "For the Love of the World"... and for about 3 years now, and most especially the last 5 or 6 months, I've believed that my life has been like a training that was to apply toward this specific point in my life, and this particular moment in history... in addition, I've just received an email from a man named James Twyman who describes that he is undergoing the same experience I am in that respect.. and in some ways, on a parallel spiritual level... the orientations and interpretations and perceived calls to action are different... which makes sense... He wrote a book called Emissaries of Light, btw.

In addition, I know of a woman who is an internationally known writer and spiritual (not necessarily Christian or religous) who has expressed this same thing over the summer. Further, for some reason, we ended up in a conversation about 3 years about how we have both felt compelled from a young age to become Pres of the US... with the same fear... that doing so would lead to assassination because of what would be introduced into the public conversation.

Believe me, this will all tie together soon...

Now, the man harrassing Zemeckis claims that he's Jesus. And, despite requests, he has refused to stop harrassing Zemeckis. I'm somewhat amused by that because if you understand about the second coming of Jesus because of actual research in the Bible, many inexplicable things would have happened that would have made the second coming pretty obvious. So they "diagnosed" the guy as bipolar, stuck him in a mental institution for a few days, and had a restraining order put on him to leave Zemeckis alone.

The strange part is, something unusual really is going on. Wish I could figure it out, and I will, but I don't have the whole picture yet.

On some station at some point, some announcer made a comment about how "all the answers are in the stars". In addition, if you study the common thoughts about the Rise and Fall of the Roman Empire, in the context of "no democracy has fully survived for more than 200 years", and compare that to the United States today... be sure to hold that thought.

So, I'm writing this story about Zemeckis. A few people will actually understand why I find it so interesting. And I walk into my bedroom, and there on the nightstand is a book... not mine.. called "In the Wake of the Plague" by Norman F. Cantor. A reputable author, a book that was on the NY Times best seller list about a year ago. If you go to page 66 of the book, it describes a scenario that is eerily the same as today, in which anthrax and bubonic plague were transmitted to humans through chimpanzees/monkeys, much in the same way HIV/AIDS was transmitted to humans sometime between 1930-1950.

More compelling, though, is the environmental and social condition. It included flooding such as is occuring now, earthquakes and volcanoes releasing "sour air" (radon?) , contaminated fish in the oceans (such as with Mercury).. and the eventual downward spiral of nations/cultures based on diminsihing food and business productivity related to droughts and destruction of crops by flood, as well as disease causing diminishing workforces, and eventually, the collapse of economies and government... as is what occurred with Rome... a more biomedical collapse than a cultural collapse.

In addition, it points to the Church as seizing the opportunity to identify these occurrances as a "punishment from God" as a means to "scare" the citizenry into more "moralistic" behavior. As well as generating a serfdom among plague survivors as a means to perpetuate the species and to rebuld the populations and cultures, and the description of the evolution of these cultures as "a nation of laws". And for a time, provided a basis for a more "rational" management of populations and environments. Certainly, you can see the parallels to what is occuring in the United States today. (Oh, please say you do :} Further, and you will see the relevance of this very shortly, it nearly required the adoption of creationism to complete the cultural transformation to religious domination. And. modification of the Bible to omit things like how to do faith healing and such, so that people would be dependent on their church leaders.

I'll also assert that, whatever the impetus in numerous movies and books is in declaring we need to "change the future" based on the concept of history repeating itself... I'll assert that it is more of an opportunity to create the future, in a parallel yet opposite manner that actually breaks the cycle of repetition.

It very much relates to how I have said, from time to time, that I have a great deal in common with George Bush antithetically.. I may agree on what the issues are, but I would resolve and manage them in the exact opposite way. Many people could probably say the same thing. The question really is, would they?

One other interesting aspect of this is the fact that, in the times of the recurrance of the plague, which consistently reduced the population of the planet by 1/4-1/3 (a number directly associated with the tribulations described in the Bible), the only real way that people had to deal with the plague was through faith healing. In these periods is when the Bible was modified as a means to convince the people to conform to a particular mode of behavior and morals in a forced manner (as opposed to a free choice, the method provided by God)

Or, through quarantining nations from each other. In that light, it is fascinating that one of Al Qaeda's objectives in its global attacks on the US and other primarily Christian based nations is to convince them their only safety is to go home and stay there. And, thusly, to stay out of the affairs of other countries.

And now, to add an even more mystical bent, is the theory that makes sense from another approach, which is that virulent diseases and plagues may, in fact, be contained in dormant "pods" of bacillus and virus from the trails of comets and meteors. I know this sounds strange, but this is not my theory. There is some scientific evidence to support it. Again, these plagues were always preceded by unusual volumes of earthquakes and volcanoes and floods. And vertical infection.. meaning occurances of things like the Leonid meteor showers that are to occur November 19th (carrying these bacillus pods.)

That said, it's impossible to ignore that just a few weeks ago, two days in a row, "things",. presumably meteorites, crashed to earth... I believe it occurred in the western foothills of New Mexico or Arizona... and then 2 tourists from New Mexico traveled to New York, and were discovered to have bubonic plague. And the floods and volcanoes are happening. (I have not been able to find the news story of these meteorites)

(I can't help but wonder what was meant by the particular announcer in this respect about, the answers are in the stars, as well as another remark in an unrelated story/remark about "Who will protect us?")

I've stated many times that I'm a believer in synchronicity. Many of the experiences I've had recently, that have caused me to read so many books and write so much material, must be synchronicity. And I'll admit it's odd. To the extent that I use phrases like "I must be going nuts" inaccurately when I should be saying "I can hardly believe it myself", and in fact "I don't really want to believe it" or "I can't believe this is happening to me, and in fact, I wish it wasn't". The information and self realizations I've had... my epiphanies... were not things I was seeking to have occur or information I was seeking to learn.

An example: the other night, at the beginning of a Winona Ryder movie, a graphic was put on the screen displaying a Bible verse which provided the context of the movie. I still haven't located that passage. What it did lead me to was Deuteronomy... and explanations from the Old Testament regarding God's instructions on how to conduct war... The Song of Moses as "given him" by God in the famous meeting on the mountaintop when he received the 10 commandments (which is, without purposeful learning, is part of James Twyman's musical repertoire), and God's instruction to remind us that the source of wealth is from Him, and is for the purpose of his bidding by individuals who, if exercising free will in following the will of God, would use that wealth for his purpose. There was much more that is relevant to what is occurring in the world today.

Another example, I began studying the Bible lately because one day, I was watching a news program, and someone mentioned a Bible verse in a tongue in cheek manner. Just for the fun of it, I got out my Bible for the first time in many years, and was amazed at what I read. And I want to say up front, my conclusion ultimately is that I started doing things many months ago that are referred to in the Bible, that I believe are just part of me fitting into a repetition of history and not as if I am some Biblical figure... I don't think I'm Jesus :}... but what I did read in Ezekiel sort of showed that what I was instictually doing... before having read the Bible in this time period (not for 20 years, anyway)... was writing about what I've seen and experienced, what I see occurring in the world now, and my vision or rational projections of what would happen in the future, good and/or bad. This was based on factual information, (not religious or spiritual, at least at that time) A much as I found it incredulous myself, it made me wonder if I was someone in the Bible, in this point of time... known as the "Son of Man"... who would precede the second coming of Christ by causing first, world peace.

The Son of Man, by the way, is a guy who would be on earth like a normal person, who would have lived through many personal injustices and struggles, and who is instructed by God to write about what he's seen, what he sees, and what he believes would occur in the future.

It was particularly odd for me because I'd had this feeling since I was about 9 years old that "my purpose" in life was to cause world peace. This feeling was based on what I'll simply refer to as a religious calling, much as someone who feels called to be a minister. Or anyone else who felt compelled to do a particular thing in life... as what they were made to do. Some people are baseball players, some are veterinarians. I sort of made this deal with God and said, I give up trying to figure out what you want me to do... teach me what you want me to know, so I can do what you want me to do when the time comes. And, understand, I have always believed I was based in Christian values, but I have never considered myself religious, or felt compelled to evangelize or be a preacher.

I also can't help thinking about the fact that before I discovered these parts of the Bible, and saw myself doing these things as it described, I wrote a song called "In the End", and the chorus was "Who am I to say, that my lessons and my sorrows, won't turn out some day, some how, someway... So I'm coming out to play, to turn people into friends, in the end. In the end, it's the road that I must follow, in the end" Remember, I wrote that before I started studying religions.

So, all I have to say about it all is I don't understand the synchronicity at all... I'm just a guy... and I do what I do. I don't want to deny or claim anything.

But it all reminds me of a (ficitious) story of a town where people are acting in cruel and ungodly ways, and the religious leaders got together, and considered things, and at one point, one of them was spoken to by God, and God told him "The messiah is among you". So the brethren tried to figure out who of them was the Messiah. But, when they looked around, they didn't think any of themselves or the others could possibly be the Messiah... so they chose to adopt an attitude that served them and their desire to have people live in a just, moral manner. So they told everyone that, since we are made in God's image, that everyone is the Messiah, and to treat each other as if they were, because you just never know... and so they did, and the world became a good, moral place. Out of free will.

Now, the real purpose of this all was to pass on some interesting info on this book, plagues, Biblical implications... to clear up some misunderstandings and to tell those who I've bugged to answer the question... what is it you're supposed to tell me? I'm sorry if I bothered you. But I'm impatient with all the questions I have, and not knowing what I don't know. I understand wisdom is everywhere, but is there somewhere where there is a greater concentration of it? Or maybe you could just recommend a ton of books I could read. :}

All I really know is that I can be doing something, and come up with a question, and I'll look up, and suddenly the newscaster will be reading a story that answers my question.. or if the sound is turned down, it'll scroll across the bottom of the screen. I'll try to think of some entertainer's name, and it scrolls across the screen... I'll be driving down the road, and actually see the words on ads and billboards that provide info I've been wondering about. And stranger than that, I constantly say things, and the next day, something comes up that makes my random statement relevant. I don't understand it either. I wish I did. What I've concluded is that there's nothing to understand, there's only to listen, be open, to be, and to do. And allow God to direct me. Because everytime I think, let's see if I can predict something, I'm wrong. :}

And if you're one of those people I've bugged... please understand, I'm not trying to do anything... I've accepted you probably don't have a clue what I'm experiencing and that it must seem as strange to you as it does me. I've talked to 3 ministers and they just look at me funny too.

It's just like the guy who thinks he's Jesus... it's a pretty big leap of faith... I don't believe it either. But, just for the sake of arguement, what if he was? What if he was? I always remember my Baptist minister saying "What if Jesus came tomorrow, how would you know, and would you be ready for judgement?" Ya gotta admit, it's an interesting question.

PS: This isn't about overexposure to the news... Einstein said "Truth is in the details" Every article I read and see presents a few more bits of information... I don't listen to the whole stories... just the dynamics and the layers...

Interesting how, after my 11/8 comments, that my satellite connection strength is down 5% due to weather, but the transfer rate has tripled. Thanks to whoever for getting off my line.
