Heart Like A Wheel has been one of my favorites since I first owned a stereo while
living on Nova Drive in Sana Cruz!
But, we have an interesting history that relates to the FISA and Telecom Laws,
and unless you've read my weblogs since 2002, you wouldn't know it. Once I realized my
tactics in garnering the attention of the media and the government worked, I shifted the
focus of my websites to "talk to them", and using a "build it and they will
come" approach, I hoped that my sites would provide examples of what could be done -
hoping other people would do it better - and by planting the seeds and speaking out it
would empower other people to do the same.
That's why I admired you for singing "Desperado" to Michael Moore... in
Vegas, wasn't it.. and people walked out and all... God Bless You for speaking your mind,
as well as paying tribute to someone who has spent his life empowering other people.
Michael and I actually have a "common" thread of history, too :}).
The song "Willing" is a special song for me.
It just happens that I was listening to it in the car one day when I was moving to
Atlanta. I was out in the area of the Mojave Desert, watching a powerful thunder storm if
not tornado moving across the valley in the distance, moving in the direction of the
highway. I was traveling with a pack of vehicles, my U-Haul behind my Camaro.
It was clear we were all racing to beat the storm before it crossed the path of the
highway ahead. Finally, after about a half an hour, we're drivng along when the lightning
struck the ground less than a hundred feet from the road. You could feel the electricity
and the heat as it hit the ground. Everyone, from the drivers of cars to big-rigs, looked
at each other and hit the gas, knowing if we didn't move along as quickly as possible, we
could be struck.
Whew!
That was the same time I went to the Grand Canyon, and am sure my car was hit by an EMP
Weapon out in the middle of nowhere. I thought I'd accidentally gotten in the path of some
military test. If I hadn't had an 8-cylinder with a big flywheel, the engine would have
died. And the sound was unmistakable - the same wooshing noise I get with microwave and
psychotronic attacks - the sound came through the stereo speakers even though I turned off
the stereo. I have a video tape of the same noise - and an electronic pulse - from the
house where I live as proof of the electronic attacks I'm subjected to.
Now, the part about FISA.
Back in the time when you and Jerry Brown were making trips together... when he was
going to run for president, and the media ruined his image by calling him Governor
Moonbeam... Brokaw did that, didn't he? .. and you and he went to Africa together... I'm
sure you remember those times....
My sister in law was the night operator at your answering service in Malibu during that
time period. And we'd get these calls in the middle of the night, and my wife at the time
would say something like "she's got Jerry Brown and Linda Ronstadt on the phone,
we're on mute, do you want to listen"? And I swear, Linda, I said no, and refused to
listen to a word or have your conversations repeated to me.
See, I like you. I have a huge amount of respect for Jerry Brown and you. Despite the
financial messes caused in California by his father, Pat Brown, and Ronald Reagan ( whose hand I
refused to shake in an act of solidarity with other "What America Means To
Me" speech contest finalists in '72 or 3)...
Jerry Brown took office and straightened out the budgets from misappropriation and
deficit to surplus and transparent, frugal accounting and business practices in just a few
years.
And then proposition 13 happened... sounded like one of those "put money back in
your pockets" ploys the Republicans are using to bankrupt America... like the
election of Schwarzenegger, who got the job because he made a deal to "ignore"
Enron's $6 or $9 billion debt owed to the people of California....
But the eavesdropping... was unforgiveable. Of course, I always say all you can
do is stand for your principles. Just like with God's plan, people have to make their own
choices.
I know you don't like people listening in to your conversations, even if you
actually have nothing to hide. I feel the same way, but I sure wish I had some privacy. I
wish my phone calls weren't re-directed to operatives, my emails weren't re-directed,
blocked and censored..
And yet, the government passes law after law after law stripping the American
people of their rights. Constitutional rights AND God given rights. Human rights. And it's
sick, and must stop.
Meanwhile, I was in contact with some people in the Santa Cruz area in the mid-90's
while I was working at KLRS... crazy, fun people... interestingly enough, with ties
to Todd Rundgren's AI project in San Francisco... AMPEX you know... who were good friends
with Jerry... actually invited me to a couple of intimate dinners in Monterey, but I had
to work... :}
My final thoughts have to do with something I find fascinating.
When you look at the history of the world... when empires fell and tyrannies were
established or attempted... when fascism always became the prevalent social and cultural
emotional state... or group think or mob mentality...
It came with the emergence and growing acceptance of the homosexual as part of the
mainstream community. It happened in Rome, in Hitler's Germany.. and now in the United
States. It's uncanny. Homosexuality wasn't the problem, either, it was the intolerance,
judgmentalism and the misplaced righteousness provoked by leaders seeking ways to divide
and conquer the public.
It's as if the politicians found a way to manipulate religion to cause an uproar in the
"Christian" communities to divide the people - hijacking a religion - in order
to mobilize them politically.
Just as the Jewish Religion was used in Germany to justify the killing of wealthy
bankers who just happened to be Jewish, and to whom the nation and powerful individuals
and corporations were in debt, interfering with the efforts to go to war... when great
Americans and Corporations stepped in to help Hitler's regime. GM, Kennedy, Bush, JP
Morgan.. you know the story.
Of course, now the United States is trying to do the same thing with the
Muslims and Arab states... claiming it's a holy war when all it is is a grab for oil, and
to do away with the people who have huge investments in the American economy.
The other common parallel to this trend also included the fact that the
"righteous", "apostate", "anti-christ" types who were the
leaders at the time these empires fell were also practicing pedophiles
Like the way
they do in our government in the United States
Homosexuals are God's beings. Otherwise, they wouldn't be here. I mean, they say the
predominant "cause" of homosexuality is genetic.. and homosexuals have souls...
so that means, inevitably, that God made them. I think people don't understand that the
"abomination" of homosexuality is not homosexuals, but all the incorrect
interpretaions of the Bible that lead people to believe that homosexuals are a scourge and
a symptom of the end times.
As in "All the lies are an abomination".
The funny thing is, they are a sign of the end times. Will humanity learn to get along,
or won't they?
Homosexuals, like the Mormon concept of Polygamy in its purest form, are one of God's
ultimate tests of human nature. In doing it, and in terms of cultures accepting it for
what it is. Can humanity understand the nuances of something... it's not even the
accepting of the act of polygamy, for example, it's the acceptance of the idea that, when
understood, there is something to be gained by at least the concept of it. There's value
to consider that would be gained in terms of being in such a situation or culture. What
could be gained by understanding it instead of judging it and discarding what it offers in
wisdom and understanding?
Think about this: the Bible says to "stone" homosexuals, prodigal
sons... etc... stone them. There's this commandment "Thou shalt not kill". Do I
think Jesus would suggest we kill people? I don't think so. How about, throw a party? The
Bible says to stone Prodigal sons. We don't do that. It says to stone homosexuals. Why
would we do that? How about, celebrate the liberation of their being? I haven't actually
thought about it too much, but it makes more sense. Jesus would not have us kill anyone or
anything.
It actually makes a better fit in the context of Biblical stories, particularly when
you acknowledge God's intelligent design, knowing the lies and myths to be spread about
these groups of people, and knowing he'd figure out a way to encode the message so it
could be heard later.
See, if we were to kill homosexuals because they were supposedly an
abomination, like a birth defect... then we'd also have to believe in eugenics... which, by the
way, many of the leaders of this country believe in... like the Nazi's did. It's what John Glenn was
complaining about during the Clinton Administration.... non-consensual human
experimentation,
RFID chipping of children... things most people don't want to believe that the
United States Government would do... which is why they get away with it.
I have to admit, upon hearing this, it kind of made my jaw drop to find out that the
medical condition I have was the genetic defect that Hitler's Regime used to justify
eugenics. Considering what I've gone through, and the record of the Clinton
Administration... how the "fix" is a simple shot once a month or a
"patch"... and that I can prove my doctors were purposely giving me the wrong
medicine for the last 6 years... causing me to begin to get the symptoms of gynecomastia.
It's part of how the government treats people they don't like these days. They
bully doctors into giving no treatment, or wrong treatment, that ends up killing you. And
I wish I was joking.
It bothers me a little when I am reminded that my government is trying to kill
me.
All part of the agenda of the New World Order people at
the Council On Foreign Relations.
It's sort of like the example of Jesus... everybody expects Him, and the Son of Man, to
be long-haired hippie types...and yet, Jesus was specific about his grooming preferences.
He also said Rabbis should/could be married... which is why I always wonder why Priests
aren't allowed to marry. And then, of course, there's the misconceptions about Jesus and
the "duality" of His Human and Deity beings. And something people generally
don't like to think about is that "Christs" are human, and they have their
personal preferences... Jesus respected the decisions and judgements of the laws of Moses,
even though he disagreed with things like divorce.
Paul heard voices and had trouble seeing... supposedly God told Him not to worry about
it because He knew Paul could handle it... if God is love, would God inflict His own
servant like that? Or did "the Devil" trick Paul (like Eve in the Garden of
Eden) into believing those "disgusting voices" were a test of God? Or, if
analyzed with modern medicine, was Paul a schizophrenic who heard voices? Was Jesus? I
mean, Paul went around telling people the world was going to end. What mental hospital
would we lock him up in today?
I'm sure James Dobson will have trouble with those for a while... :} Or, maybe he
won't. It will be interesting to find out... because he's been hit with the same kinds of
derisive sterotypes....
Polygamy... and I'm not talking about people who abuse it, use it for sexual abuse and
domination and welfare fraud... but people who practice true polygamy would have to be
respected if what they were doing was actually understood.
After all, being responsible for the welfare of a household, and caring for more than
one woman would be an incredible test of one's ability to be strong and sensitive and
caring as well. A true test for all involved, with daily lessons in sharing and caring,
jealousy and human nature and behavior, seeking the true mastery of oneself, with a
continual transformation of the soul and spirit toward true unconditional love and
giving... as Jesus would have us be toward one another.
And the government has no business interfering with legitimate cultural practices of
any people. Not at Waco, Ruby Ridge, or anwhere in Utah... not anywhere... The government
should empower them, and be responsible in disseminating accurate information about other
cultures. This way we can understand instead of fear them, learn from them what we want to
learn from them, and incorporate good ideas when we hear them.
Now, where was I? :}
Amazing, the 6 degrees of separation. My life has always been on the periphery, 1 or 2
degrees of separation.
I just, mainly, wanted to let you know I'm a big fan, and look forward to your future
releases. I've been out of the loop for awhile, but I'll keep my eyes open.
Thanks, and lots of love

out awards, but it sounds like something she'd do :}
