I guess I am
continually astounded by the right wing’s ability to move ever further to the
extreme position even when you try and agree with them on something. This is Monday October 20, 2014 and yesterday
before dinner I was talking on the back benches with Nancy Bell and others
about Dr Levy’s class and the things he was saying. Since Jerry Brown’s name came up I thought I
would agree with him that Jerry Brown has been no good for the California
economy and that this Kashkari guy can’t be any worse. Rather than agree with me on that - - Dr Levy
goes into this bit about how of course California is always democratic because
of all of the illegal aliens here coming here to get our welfare and then
voting. And all of the republicans move
to Texas which now has good “climate” at least in business and politics and you
can buy a really nice home there for $250,000.
I got to thinking how many welfare programs have been cut either by
brown or by Swartzenegger and how these haven’t been restored. Dr Levy himself has been denied a cash grant
he had been expecting. What Dr Levy
seemed to be saying was that we in America are socially and economically self segregating
ourselves (which is even worse than “self deportation”) Does Dr Levy really believe this illegals -
- and last summer’s onslaught of refugees was even brought up - - and the first
two things they do are sign up for welfare and register to vote. I myself was certified “good to go” for SSI
in April of 1992 and these things don’t happen instantly. I always think of “care givers” as being
compassionate and giving people by nature.
Judy is constantly saying how “people” in general should work hard and
be morally clean as a whistle and ethically and morally exemplary. So naturally I figured Judy would be a
strong backer of Proposition 46 saying Doctors should be drug tested and have a
database to insure that patients are not “Doctor shopping”. Judy’s exact words were “I believe people
have the right to shop for any doctor they want”, and then invoked this Gordon
Gecko greed doctrine of “We’re businessmen and have to cut corners any way we
can”. What she seemed to be saying was “The
government sticks it to us, so we’re going to turn around and stick it to the
patients; it’s something we have to do to stay in business”. On Sixty Minutes I learned that even if you
expressly stipulate a certain type of medical care in your will- - in most
cases except for two states- - there is no way to enforce that law. I signed a form a couple of months ago that
if I’m unconscious- - yes I want all reasonably medical measures employed to
preserve my life. I don’t want to die as
the result of a “misunderstanding” just like that. Bones actually chimed in on this specific
idea saying that the old man’s wishes for suicide should have been carried out
by the hospital. This surprised me
because I always thought Bones was strongly anti euthanasia. But the way Bones put it to me last night is “That
old man had two choices- either death with dignity or death without dignity-
and given those two choices the decision becomes a lot easier”. The hospital gave the old man drugs to
counteract the morphine he’d taken on his own volition- - because a nurse said “There
it is if you want it”. The old man was
angry that he had not died- - which initially struck me as kind of funny. But this man was in such a cheap facility
his pain management had been so horrible the only thing the poor guy could
think of all the time is Ending It - - Ending the Pain. He had served his country proudly in WW II
and had been an active person all his life.
Now he’s reduced to - - almost akin to Dad – being in a situation where
he was in extreme pain the last few moments of his life. (Obviously Dad wasn’t expecting to die, but
had apparently told Paul that “I’ve placed my soul in God’s hands” alluding to
Jesus’ last words on the cross.) But
getting back to four o clock yesterday afternoon - - I hadn’t been able to get
any cigarette since lunch and it had been in excess of four hours. There were no lenders- - and nobody was even
offering butts, and there was absolutely
nothing to smoke in the ash tray, and for me the prospect of doing THIS the
next two days- - needing a cigarette and not having one- was a little
much. It’s true that I ethically
transgressed to God and Dr Levy- - by taking the money he gave me for coffee
and other things- - and I specifically said “I’d never use any money from You
for cigarettes. The last time I bought
coffee- - and later bought a two liter bottle of Coke”. At the time I was even saying “My resolve on
not smoking has pretty much fallen apart since Thursday afternoon”. But what I should have said “To be honest I can’t
guarantee I won’t use this money for cigarettes. So basically I don’t want the money because I
don’t want to take the chance. I don’t
want to be tempted”. Well you know
Clinton sinned when he lied about the stain on the blue dress- and Hillary kept
talking about a right wing conspiracy.
Yes these sins of lying look really bad- - but it isn’t the end of the
world and such sins are forgivable. At
any rate I postponed the decision after dinner.
We had roast beef and mashed potatoes and gravy with carrots. The meat slices were thicker than usual, but
there were no seconds. We had applesauce
for desert, which annoyed me, because they never put cinnamon in it. So at some point after dinner me and Glen
went over to the liquor store and bought cigarettes. Then I went to Glen’s room and got an extra
strong amount of instant coffee- - and ended up giving him eight cigarettes out
of the pack, four for yesterday and four for just now. Apparently one of the cats got stuck in the
building last night running up and down the halls with all of the doors
closed. Nancy Bell says that’s why they
don’t allow cats for pets here because the Health Department comes along and talks
about flea born diseases.
Right now on Breakfast with the Beatles they are playing the all time most performed song among Romulans, “Things we said Today” preceded by another old Romulan folk song “Can’t Buy Me Love”. Carmen reminded me that I’m going to have to break down and start buying cigarettes- and as of last Thursday afternoon my anti smoking campaign is pretty much a thing of the past, though smoking rates are still way down from “Normal”. “I Dig Love” is one of my favorite tracks from “All Things Must Pass” and it’s one song I actually like all the resonance on. Of course I associate that song with Valerie M from April of 1971. Last night for dinner it was kind of one of your spaghetti type tomato based and ground beef and tube pasta dishes, with corn and a green salad. We had tapioca pudding for desert. After this I got a bad case of the chills - - I did get my medication from Donnie at the med room and also got instant coffee from Glen. He was not happy I didn’t have cigarettes for him but I’d thought I’d made it ampelly clear throughout the day that I was out of cigarettes. Oh, now it's the Beatles version of “Berry Town” - - “Tell Me What You See”. There is the most minor of labeling errors on that “Red Album” of ours where I say that it’s the “Let it be - Naked” version of “Don’t Let Me Down” and not the KMET bootleg version- - which it is, I am informed. “Naked” is a faster version. KLOS played the George “Hare Krishna” version of “It Don’t Come Easy”. On Sirius A, I notice they pronounce it “I-bola” with a long I. They do kind of a cockney accent for a lot of words anyhow. I did not type in Word yesterday and I did not post yesterday. My cigarette tally for the day remains at two, which trails most recent days lately for 10:30 in the morning. They are still doing construction in that hall bathroom even on a Sunday. Dr Levy, lamentably, never showed up. This means of the past eight weekends, Dr Levy has been here one weekend, which of course was two weeks ago.
I am getting ready for
one of my new “scripture revelations” I intend to call “The Satanic Verses –
2014”. Part of the reason why this
material has not been used before is because Jim Morrison once told me
personally that King David in the Bible never had that affair with
Bathsheba. The whole thing was just a
fabricated story to teach on the values of sin and making a clean repentence
and not covering up your fowl deeds. But
the other view, which Bones subscribes to is that yes David certainly DID have
the affair and it is kind of a central event in this little “Little Shop of
Halloween Horrors” plot.
I’ll do my best to
summarize this “Scripture” without engaging in excessive “Bible-speak”. David as a young man saw King Saul and
lusted after his job and his heart would burn with envy every time he’d play
the lyre for him and see the King decked out in his Royal appearal. People around King Saul saw that this
continual eyeing of him by David was getting to him. David would watch him and ‘study’ him the way
you study a book. It was less that he
admired the King - - than that he wanted to Be the king. One time King Saul in a fit of paranoid rage
threw his dagger at David – and missed.
Saul’s court said of the King “Yes, he’s in rocky mental shape right not
but he’ll pull out of it - - he has to”.
One time when King Saul was relieving himself in a cave David came upon
him. He thought of slaying the King
right then and there- - or at least to make his presence known right then in an
intimidating fashion wielding his big sword about, that he’d captured from
Goliath. (David’s actual Hebrew name is unpronounceable
to foreigners) David was an Ephrathite,
of the house of Ephrath (though don’t go for looking for a table of Ephrathite
geniology in the Bible) David went back
outside but he didn’t go far. He mused
over what to do- considering his alternatives.
Some Philistine troops happened by who did not recognize David. Since David had blue eyes they did not
suspect David of being a Caananite.
(their term) David said to them “Are
you looking for someone” and they responded “We are looking for King Saul. Do you happened to know where we might find
him”. David said “I think he went that
way (points) pointing to some nearby caves.
When David learned of King Saul’s death he said to the Philistines “Let
it not be said that the King was slain while relieving himself. Come and let us move his body into the open
field stained with much blood of battle already”. And the Philistines agreed to it. Now in the course of time- - Bathsheba
reminded David- - - now King, that he had made a solemn oath to her that her
son would sit on the throne- “This is
the very seed by which you first gained access to me and for which I made you
swear an oath”. David acknowledged her
remark. However Adonijah, the rightful
heir to the throne, being the oldest surviving legitimate son- - took exception
to this edict as did Joab his chief general.
Therefore David gave an order that Joab be slain in a treacherous manner
for some vague sin of decades ago - - and also Shimmai - - who had taunted
David upon his retreat across the Jordan.
For David told his son Issa “When you forgive someone- - you have the
God-given right to retract that forgiveness at any time in the future for any
reason you desire- - for it was freely given and therefore may be freely
retracted”. So Shimmai was also
slain. Last of all when Issa the son of
David ascended to the throne, he had Adonijah killed. (Adonijah means “My Lord is Jehovah") Now the reign of Issa did not last long for
there had been war continually in the House of David and there was war
continually in the Household of Issa- - and the land descended into chaos. Now there was a young man- still a youth- -
named Jehosaphat- - who set about with much planning to one day become King of
the land. (right here the text leaves
off) We next join up with the text
after Issa dies in another incarnation in the town of Tyannus in what is now
Asia Minor. And the man who was Issa
exaulted himself and said “I am the incarnation of the Sun god, Apollo- the
Unconquered Sun”. And he made other
statements to the Lord Krishna. He said
that “One day in the lands to the East- people will serve me and not you, my
Lord Krishna.” And Issa went on to extol
his superiority saying “All who came before or after me are thieves and robbers. I am the Door. I am the embodiment of Truth. I am the embodynent of Time itself. The hands of the clock don’t move without my
permission”. Not a sparrow falls to
earth without my leave. The Lord Krishna
said to him “Many good warriers have come before me, but you say you are
unique?”. Issa said to Krishna “Behold
even now Judas the Twin is in India spreading my Gospel. He is a Syrian, and one day Syria shall rise
to be a great and powerful nation”. The
Lord Krishna said to Issa “Great men come to know the ways of War. Still greater men come to know the ways of
Peace”. This angered Issa who stated, “Lo,
I am greater than John the Baptist, who prophesied of the coming of the Kingdom
of God. I am greater than Judas of
Galilee. I am greater than Jesus
Barrabas, who escaped judgement for his many crimes- - among these being
claiming the ability to pull down the Temple at Jerusalem. I am greater than Jeshuah ("Yeshuah" pre 1400 AD), who preached abstinence
from war and conflict. I am greater than
them all. Behold I am everything but not
Everything is Me. Behold I hold the keys
to the Kingdom of heaven- - and nothing is recorded as even happening unless I
allow it. And after me- - the Pater will
come- - to teach men in the ways of all Truth.”
Then the Lord Krishna said to Issa
“John the Baptist prophesied impartially the message I gave him. Jesus Barrabus was a man of war all his life –
and a warrier he’ll always be. Yeshua
was a man of peace. But you are a man
neither of war nor of peace. You breech
the peace any opportunity you get- - yet you will not defend a just cause that
a warrier fights for. In your cowardess
to be neither a pacifist or a true warrier- - you are a nothing- - and I will
spew you out of my mouth”.
