"Looking back at antiquity,

the Feudal Era,

one shudders not at what people did unlawfully

The Sun is coming up

CASUALTIES OF WAR
The first casualty of war
is TRUTH.
The next casualty of war
is PROSPERITY.
The next casualty of war
is MORALITY.
The next casualty of war
is SANITY.
And, the next casualty of war
is your very EXISTENCE, itself.
You should remember that,
the next time you are crying out
rah, rah, rah,
while waving your little flags,
while you,
and your
war profiteering politicians,
and their hacks,
and sycophants,
and "presstitution" services,
and their enablers,
have, in actual fact,
no "skin in the game",

I posted photos of the crash scene,
taken on 6-21-13,
three days after the fatal collision,
last night at about 3 a.m.
I just finished the captions
for the photos,
now, at 1:05 p.m.
They are on a new page titled:
"michaelhastingscrashsitephotos062113".
I hope you take a look,
and consider what it is
that I am saying in the captions,
along with my concluding remarks
in my post just prior to this one.
It is truth which is being held hostage.
And it is ourselves which need changing.
I say this after h... Continue reading ...

"BE THE CHANGE
YOU WANT TO SEE
IN THIS WORLD"
Before wrapping up,
regarding the matter of Michael Hastings,
I want to make some clarifications,
for the record.
Please do not lose sight of the fact
that I am writing,
primarily, to entertain.
If I can prick your conscience,
or get you to think more for yourself,
or to realize why
you do not even want
the appearance of impropriety,
then all the better,
so far as I am concerned.
If I have to shock you,
or surprise you,
or upset you,
in order to obtain ... Continue reading ...

I am starting this post at 9 a.m.
on Sunday morning, 6-23-13.
I started my trek toward the terrible scene
of what appears to be a most heinous crime
against God, truth, and humanity,
at 1:30 p.m. on Friday afternoon.
I live about 60 miles north of the location
where my destination lies.
That is to say, about one hour
and a few extra minutes,
when the traffic is clear.
My only objective is to determine
which is the northbound lane,
and which is the southbound lane
which I am looking at on the video... Continue reading ...

It is 10:09 a.m.
as I am continuing
where I left off last night.
I was discussing the footage
and left off with
the seemingly rather strange observation
that the brake lights
were on as Michael Hastings
was providentially,
or coincidentally
(dependent upon your viewpoint)
filmed as he ran through
the red light
just north of the collision scene.
As I mentioned,
I was at first taken aback,
just a little,
by the very suggestion,
but upon further reflection
I remembered that
I had just recently rea... Continue reading ...

Well,
it has been a strange 48 hours,
indeed.
It is now 11:52 p.m.
I just got back
from Los Angeles.
I am very tired,
and just a little bit disoriented.
But, I will do the best that I can,
here and now.
I am not really sure
just when I started,
but I think
it was late yesterday afternoon
that I was finally able to sit down
at the computer
and begin to search
for any update
on the facts of the case.
I searched through
different news accounts
and could find nothing new.
As I thought about it,
I realiz... Continue reading ...

Earlier today
I happened onto a book
which provided a topical treatment
of Blackstone's Commentaries.
As I was flipping through it
I happened onto a chapter
dedicated to
the law of nations,
which is an area
of particular interest to me,
for many years.
William Blackstone's
Commentaries on the Laws of England,
published in 1765-1769,
is a legal classic
that provides the basis
and foundation
for our understanding of
the English common law,
and our own
American system of jurisprudence,
which ultimately r...

note: I am writing this post
to document the facts herein contained.
I have no care what anyone else
thinks about it.
It is to me, nothing more than an entry
into a journal of horrors
that I am witnessing,
such that I can be a witness
on the day of judgment
against the perpetrators
as they cry about how innocent
and well-intentioned they are and were.
"Don't believe a word of it."
That is all I will have to say.
While you slept

at about 4:15 a.m.

It is 1:30 a.m.
as I begin this post.
I started to write this song,
061813a
at a little after midnight tonight.
It is written in a choral hymn
four voice
type of form.
I did not really do this
with any forethought.
It just sort of happened
as I began to play around
in the key of F,
which I rarely write in.
I decided as I placed my hands
on the keyboard
with no thoughts, whatsoever,
as to what exactly I intended to do,
that I wanted to work with this key
a little bit more.
I really like the fact
that ... Continue reading ...

note: John Law is considered by many
to be the father of monetary inflation.
He is also considered to be
the father of modern finance.
Because I am writing on the subject
of monetary inflation,
I thought it only proper
to begin with John Law
and his Mississippi "land bank"
as a further introduction
to this subject,
as follows:
I was about fifteen years old
when I received,
what I thought to be,
the oddest and most useless
Christmas present imaginable.
It was from my new step-father
with who I was... Continue reading ...

That's right.
It is 10 p.m.,
exactly,
and guess who is in the mood
to write about monetary inflation.
Moi?
Yes.
Perhaps many of you
are noticing that
the price of nearly everything you buy
is slowly but very steadily
creeping ever upward.
I have noticed that my costs
have accelerated by at least 30%
during the last year.
Most people have no idea why this is so,
and effectively believe
that it is just in the nature of things.
But, nothing could be further from the truth.
First, before explaining furth... Continue reading ...

I wrote this song,
061613a,
at 3 a.m.,
this morning.
After having several weeks
of normal hours of sleep,
I am back to my horrible insomnia again.
Haven't slept in days,
except for a little bit of sleep
yesterday morning.
So, I found myself wide awake
at 3 a.m.
and completely unable to sleep.
What to do, what to do?
How about write a song.
That's always a good thing to do.
This song is a good example
of voice leading
of which I will have more to say,
later, I hope.
When one studies

It is about 9:30 p.m.
I just got in from the beach,
finished getting cleaned up,
and had a quick bite to eat.
I have been musing
throughout the day
as regards what I should
or should not
write on this site.
As you may have guessed
from my last posts
I am a very politically-minded person.
I have kept it to myself on this site,
because I do not want to offend
or alienate music lovers
who have different political beliefs
and persuasions than I do.
BUT,

(note: this blog post was written
following the discloures
of the very intrusive and unlawful
NSA programs
which were being defended
by those who have hidden them
from public view.
These programs were already suspected of existing,
but under the name "Echelon".
The parliament of the European Union
had claimed the existence of the program
after a two year investigation
into the matter,
followed by a written report of findings.
Other than that,
little or nothing was known of specifics.

O.K.,
I can hear you
saying to yourself,
enough social commentary,
how about some new music.
I awakened at 3 a.m.
with a start.
I prayed, fervently,
for about fifteen minutes,
with much weeping
and trepidation
and then heard
my inner voice
say to me
that it is finally time
to write some more music.
It has been kind of weird
the last several weeks
as I just haven't had any desire
to write music at all.
This is partly because
I have been suffering
from some serious health problems
resulting from my las... Continue reading ...

Just as a quick aside.
There is a crime called
"compounding a felony".
This basically means
that you agree not to report a crime
in exchange for something of value.
Now, what is being claimed
by all of these people
who pretend to be
protecting your freedoms
is that when a person sees
a whole series of outrageous crimes
committed in their presence,
that they can be stopped
from reporting them
by virture of having signed
a non-disclosure agreement.
So, you will hear one talking head
after another,

Re: NSA Prism Program, etc.
Oh, what a sorry sight,
as I watch,
in utter disgust,
as known liar
after well known liar
continues to tell us
how everything is just fine,
and we have nothing
to be concerned about.
I can't help but be
reminded of the words
of Pastor Martin Niemoller,
which continue to haunt me
more and more,

I have ever heard of
or seen.

It is about 7:40 a.m. as I start this post.
I don't really have anything to say at this time,
but am sitting by the computer
waiting for some technicians to arrive at 8 a.m.
at CEB
in order to attempt to walk me through
some problems they are having
with running this new program
I told about several days ago.
They have a whole lot of really mad attorneys

maybe.
I am not one of the mad ones,
unless you consider
"mad as a hatter"
to qualify me in that category.

While reading the book,
referenced below,
I was struck
by some of the language,
which I thought worthwhile
to share here.
The author speaks,
and then quotes Lewis Spence,
historian of occult beliefs and practices,
as well as a pamphlet from
the White Rose,
an anti-Nazi youth movement.
I find the parallels with today
rather striking,
especially in light of
the present administration
and their
immediate predecessors.
The same old nonsense
just seems to get recirculated
century after century

The woman saith unto him,
Sir,
I perceive that thou art a prophet.
Our fathers worshipped in this mountain,
and ye say that Jerusalem is the place
where men ought to worship.
Jesus saith unto her,
Woman, believe me,
the hour cometh,
when ye shall neither in this mountain,
nor yet at Jerusalem,
worship the Father.
Ye worship ye know not what;
we know what we worship,
for salvation is of the Jews.
But the hour cometh,
and now is,
when the true worshippers
shall worship the Father
IN SPIRIT

First of all,
my apologies
for leaving the last post
as a cliffhanger.
It is tempting to leave it that way,
but there is more to come,
just as soon as I have time and space
to get it out of my mind and into print.
I have been rather busy during the past several days
with various diffrerent commitments,
such that I have not had much time,
or energy
to finish my story
or do much of anything
other than what I have been doing.
As something of an aside,
I just started the EPIC program,

It is about 6:45 a.m.
as I am starting to write this morning.
I have been out of town
for the past several days,
back on the road again.
These past several weeks have been strange,
in the extreme.
I told several weeks ago
of Doppelganger sightings,
far more than is ever normal,
in my experience.
And then, on the last return trip
I told of the numerous Mustangs
and silver colored Mustangs.
Well, whatever it was that was happening,
it advanced by tenfold or more
during the following weeks.

Am leaving for the northern hinterlands,
once again,
in a few minutes from now.
Hope to be at my regular spot
this evening
and tomorrow evening
for dusk and sunset,
if not the entire day,
tomorrow
(I hope).
Accordingly,
just a very brief note and update.
Had a very nice visit up in SB last night,
with a nice dinner at Hendry's
after a beautiful afternoon and sunset
at the secluded beach where it is located.
Lots of local color.
And because it was Friday night,
