There is a special election to be held in Lubbock, Midland-Odessa and surrounding areas in West Texas on May 3, 2003, for the seat in the U.S. House of Representatives being vacated by Rep. Larry Combest.  This is the 19th Congressional District of Texas. 

 

I am announcing my candidacy for this office.  I’ll be making a campaign speech starting at noon, Monday, February 24, 2003 at the kiosk -- gazebo -- just west of the west entrance to the Lubbock County Courthouse at 904 Broadway.  This will be the first meeting of the Don Quixote Unauthorized Democratic Club.

 

 -- I am a radical, left-wing, libertarian Democrat.  (That’s “small” l -- “big” D!)  I call my philosophy “Libertarian Social Democracy”. -- What I mean by this, is that the government should take enough tax money to provide a simple, utilitarian, “taking care of the needs of the poor”, and otherwise, leave me alone in my personal life.

 -- I am not a member of the Libertarian Party -- though I have the most incredible personal testimony to libertarian principles of personal freedom -- that anyone has ever seen.

 
 -- The way I’m going to try to win this special election -- is to try to increase turnout in Democratic areas of Lubbock and Odessa, to try to start educating Libertarians about the “anti-libertarian effects” of poverty, AND to present a civil liberties and constitutional argument to principled conservative Republicans and principled conservative Democrats.  I think many principled “constitutional” Republicans are very concerned about the way their party is going!

 

 -- If poor people commit crime to survive or to buy illegal drugs -- people will be more afraid and more likely to enact repressive, anti-libertarian social policies.

 

 -- I’m going to try to move the Democratic Party sharply leftward!  We must give poor people a chance to be motivated to vote.  Slightly less severe Republicanism IS NOT THE WAVE OF THE FUTURE FOR THE DEMOCRATIC PARTY!

 

This paper is not as well organized as I had hoped -- there may be some repetition!

 

I’m updating my web site: www.libt-social-dem.org -- which I intend to complete by the end of this week.


     The defining document of my psy-war story is my 42-page letter of October 4, 1983
(http://www.libt-social-dem.org/Libt z-pb01.htm) to Rep. Don Edwards, who was then the Chair of the US House Judiciary Subcommittee on Civil and Constitutional Rights.  (That is http://www.libt-social-dem.org/Libt%20z-pb01.htm -- %20=space -- not underline!)

I’m going to try to win this race by uniting Democrats, Libertarians, Greens, Independents, and Constitutional Republicans.  I am not a traditional conservative -- but I’m so conservative I believe the governments must be forced to obey the law and the constitution!

 

I was born in Ralls, and I started school at Ropesville.  When I was in the 3rd grade, my family moved to Morton, where I was Student Council President and Valedictorian in 1965.

 

I received a degree in mathematics from Colorado College in Colorado Springs, Colorado in 1969, and about 1975 or 1976 I received a Master’s degree in mathematics from UCLA -- the University of California at Los Angeles.

 

I was a mainframe computer systems programmer for almost 20-years, and had become team leader and backup supervisor for the Information Management System -- Data Base / Data Communications group at GTE Data Services in Marina del Rey California.

 

And then I went to work -- as a civilian -- for Northrop Corp. -- a California military contractor -- where I was the responsible mainframe systems programmer for a small IBM mainframe at the King Abdul-Aziz Air Force Base at Dhahran, Saudi Arabia.

 

And that is where I got my real education.  More about that in a minute.

 

I have already sent papers to the Federal Elections Commission -- as a Democrat of long and sincere activist standing.

 

I have a very serious history of volunteer activism for liberal Democrats.  Gene McCarthy in 1968, Jess Unruh against California Gov. Ronald Reagan in 1970, George McGovern in 1972, Jerry Brown for California Governor in 1974.

 

In 1976 I took off work on election day to drive people to the polls for Jimmy Carter.

 

In 1994 I walked a precinct in East Lubbock for Governor Ann Richards and Rep. Bill Sarpalius.

 

In 1996 I attempted a campaign against Rep. Larry Combest, but I didn’t get on the ballot, and on election day I walked a precinct in East Lubbock for the Democratic Party candidate against Mac Thornberry of District 13.

 

I made this campaign because he was Chair of the House Intelligence Committee.  He told me he had been looking at my web site: www.libt-social-dem.org.

 

Politically, I have been very concerned about the great increase in the U.S. Government debt being planned by our right-wing political masters.  George W. Bush rants and raves against the class warfare he and his right-wing masters are advancing.

 

The right-wing wants to give huge new tax cuts to people who are already rich -- and they are paying for it out of the Social Security and Medicare trust funds.  They are giving away working people’s retirement and medical care -- and issuing a propaganda barrage against working people that complain.  

 

There is a directly related issue in the fall of the dollar against the euro.  There is a story about this today in the Washington Post.

 

http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-dyn/articles/A3551-2003Jan30.html, by Robert J. McCartney in Paris with Paul Blustein in Washington, DC.

 

This article says the euro has appreciated against the U.S. Dollar by more than 20% in the past year.  My arithmetic is slightly different, stating the dollar has fallen against the euro 17% -- but they both tell the same story.  (The higher number -- 20% -- comes from starting with a low euro -- vs. starting with a high dollar.)

  

I don't really expect all this to happen, but the dollar could plunge dramatically, and OPEC could start demanding euros for oil -- and the Saudis really and truly do not like the recent attacks against the wife of their Ambassador to the United States -- by the Republican Slander Machine -- and they have more than $700-billion in conservative investments -- business and government debt -- in the U.S.  I consider that a serious threat to U.S. national security -- but the game may be -- to roll over the 30-year U.S. Government bonds at a much higher interest rate.  Socialism For the Rich -- this to complement our Social Darwinism For the Poor!

 

That is an extraordinarily risky gamble.  If 3 or 4 things go really bad -- all at once -- we get to play by the same IMF and World Bank rules we sanctimoniously enforce on South America and much of the rest of the world!

 

Ron and HW railed against Jimmy Carter's (and George Washington's) Satanic Debt of $1-trillion.  They and Boy George have been howling at the moon against this debt -- From the Dark Side -- all the way past $5-trillion -- and W is learning how to count!

 

Think back in history a bit.  Jimmy Carter suffered the 2nd OPEC oil embargo -- which greatly inflated the world price of oil -- and caused a great increase in inflation in the United States.  Interest rates, and in particular, interest rates on U.S. Government debt bonds, increased greatly.

 

With this inflation, the U.S. Federal Reserve sharply increased interest rates.  With Ron's huge -- supply side -- new deficits, the U.S. Government issued huge amounts of new debt at high interest rates.  This included a huge amount of 30-year debt bonds at very high interest rates.

 

A large number of rich people -- U.S. American and throughout the world -- bought huge amounts of 30-year USG bonds at 12-15%.  Now that inflation is very low -- this is real gravy paid for by working people.  May I repeat myself? -- Socialism For the Rich! -- guaranteed by the good faith and credit of the U.S. Government.

 

There was talk a few years ago about not issuing any more 30-year debt bonds -- because the national debt was already almost defeated -- and they were no longer needed.

 

WHAT DOES THE MARKET SAY NOW?  I don't really know all this.  I'm just a concerned citizen who reads the newspapers.

 

Perhaps the government is no longer issuing new 30-year debt bonds.  That would be my guess.  Interest rates are too low -- and the secret people -- behind the scenes -- may be promising -- in a few years -- HIGH INTEREST RATES --  on new and "rolled over" 30-year USG debt bonds -- the ones new since 1980.  This gives the illegal secret government 10-years or so to get interest rates -- up "real high".  With a huge debt paid for by the working people!  Working people's taxes HAVE GONE UP -- since Ronnie RayGun and the Full Mooners took over!  Howling at Jimmy Carter's and George Washington's Satanic Debt of $1-trillion -- howling from The Dark Side -- past $5-trillion now -- and W is learning how to count!

 

************************************

 

     I feel I have an important contribution to make to Israel and Israeli democracy.  I am, myself, a candidate for U.S. Congress from West Texas in a special election to be held May 3, 2003.

 

     I support the Israeli people, and I will be attempting to achieve a sincere peace as a member of the U.S. House of Representatives.  I have taken a radical position in support of Palestinian Right of Return to advance this peace.  I am working to update my web site (www.libt-social-dem.org) and at the moment it is not complete. 

 

 -- The United States and the world community must impose a unified, bi-national, Israel-Palestine on Israel -- or make Israel-Palestine west of the Jordan River -- the 51st State -- or actually the 51st and 52nd states.  Same geographical area -- each person chooses whether they want to be an Israeli or Palestinian.  We need to think about including parts of the “East Bank” as well, and this gets to be very complicated, but we need to think about this -- and how to “equalize” Jordanian participation in reparations and such.

 

  -- There were 5,000 Jews in the Promised Land in 1750.

 

     IS THIS NOT CORRECT?  Supporters of Israel must take proper historical responsibility for that. -- The U.S. Government has guaranteed Israel military superiority from the beginning -- and because of this, we have a deep moral responsibility to the Palestinian people. -- Former Prime Minister Rabin stated in his autobiography that he personally led -- under orders -- military attacks against Palestinian civilians!

 

     I have a long paper about much of this -- WHICH ALSO NEEDS TO BE UPDATED -- at http://www.libt-social-dem.org/Libt Israel-Palestine.htm.  I was working on updating my web sites when I learned of Rep. Larry Combest’s retirement, and I’m trying to do a lot of work very quickly.

 

     I propose automatic -- NON-REVOKABLE -- dual nationality -- U.S.-Israeli -- or U.S.-Palestinian -- to every Israeli and to every Palestinian -- UPON REQUEST.  This means every Israeli and every Palestinian -- gets a blue passport -- THAT CANNOT BE REVOKED FOR ANY REASON WHATSOEVER!

 

     I’ve only recently begun thinking about making Israel and Palestine -- which cover the same geographical area -- into the 51st and 52nd states of the United States of America!  -- I think this is how we contain the reckless Israeli nuclear threat!

 

     I am not at all convinced that W (aka “Boy George”) and Sharon (aka “Crown Prince Arik the Catastrophe”) are the real powers of their respective countries.  I think they all bow before Victoria’s Satanic Regime!

 

     I must mention one “caveat” that concerns me deeply.  In my web link at http://www.libt-social-dem.org/Libt Israel-Palestine.htm, I state my belief that we should trust current Israeli practices of “defining” who is a Jew -- and potentially an “automatic” Israeli -- in this new US American citizenship.  Then recently, I read that “someone” had discovered another “lost tribe” of Israel -- which numbers 35-million!

 

     I trust experienced diplomats will be able to solve this problem.  Perhaps we need to promote an equivalent “discovery” of “lost tribes of Palestine”!  This still presents the danger of “breaking the bank of the United States” -- but we surely can manage this problem!

 

     With Israel-Palestine the 51st and 52nd states -- we have 2 U.S. Senators for Israel and 2 U.S. Senators for Palestine -- and a proportional number of members of the U.S. House of Representatives -- according to the rules of the U.S. Constitution.

 

     I know this looks like more European Christian Imperialism -- but this relies on the good faith of US Americans, Israelis and Palestinians.

 

     There will be a special problem with Jewish and Muslim religious practices, but the United States allows states to enact “Sunday closings” -- at least I haven’t heard of any Supreme Court rulings against that.  We can set up statehood legislation to manage “most” of that kind of thing.

 

     Texas was an independent nation when we became a state, and there are special rules -- still in effect because of that.

 

     I feel quite confident that Muslim Palestinians will be willing to accept “no cruel and unusual punishments” -- which I, personally, will demand.  The vast majority of Muslims in the world do not practice amputations of hands -- or the execution of adulterers.

 

     The only serious problem in implementation of this -- that I can imagine -- is the Muslim practice of allowing more than one wife.  As a sincere “Equal Rights Amendment-er” -- I will demand equal permission for women!

 

     I think we can manage this by “allowing” civil contracts -- among consenting adults.  As many guys and as many gals -- as wish -- can form a “civil” union that can be respected by the laws of the United States.  If we put this into a treaty and statehood legislation -- we can gain very good long-term political protection.

 

*****

 

     I propose a 75-year plan to reintroduce displaced Palestinians -- at about 1.5% per year to the land of their parents and grandparents.  This may be somewhat “procedurally difficult” if Israel-Palestine do become the 51st and 52nd states, but for the most part, I think Palestinians in the Diaspora will be happy with a blue passport, reparations payments -- and proper representation in the US Congress.

 

     Concurrently, I propose that the United States and the world community pay war reparations to the Palestinians of $10-billion per year for 37.5 years and $5-billion per year for the following 37.5 years.

 

     This should be $5-billion per year for 75-years -- half in strictly cash payments to individual Palestinians -- deposited monthly into their personal bank accounts.  And the other half of this, to build up Palestinian Social Security and Medical Security accounts.

 

     And with this, an additional $5-billion per year for 37.5 years, to build Palestinian local government infrastructure -- sewers, roads, schools, hospitals etc. -- and to build business and industrial infrastructure -- which probably could be privatized over the long term.

 

 -- In order to make this happen -- the solution is: USMC -- Springtime in Jerusalem -- and the West Bank and Gaza.  To begin, the United States distributes GPS cell-telephones to each and every Palestinian -- 6-8-10-million or so -- and surrounds Israel with cell-phone transmitters.

 

 -- Whenever any Palestinian -- reports that Israeli soldiers are hindering -- in any way -- their attempt to achieve emergency medical care -- USMC black forces -- or blue and white -- according to the time of day -- will jump in and provide -- any and all needed medical care -- on the spot.

 

 -- This way -- we learn whether the State of Israel is willing to interfere -- militarily -- with a non-hostile, humanitarian, military operation to provide emergency medical care for Palestinian civilians.   

 

 -- The United States Government has guaranteed Israeli military superiority -- SINCE THE BEGINNING!  I want the United States to take proper historical responsibility for the grievous suffering the Palestinians are suffering since 1948 -- and before, as well -- of course.

 

 -- I’m terribly sorry about Hitler’s Holocaust, but it was not the Palestinians’ fault.

 

*****

 

 -- Saddam Hussein of Iraq is not a threat to the United States -- or to Israel. -- I believe Saddam is a double agent for CIA-Mossad-MI-6 -- the secret intelligence agencies of the United States, Israel, and Great Britain.

 

 -- He murdered 1,000,000 Iranians for us, for the Iranian taking of the U.S. Diplomats as hostages. -- The CIA started the Iranian War when they illegally overthrew their democratically elected President and installed the Shah in 1954.

 

 -- I believe the plan is for the U.S. to attack Saddam, then Saddam launches some bio-chemical attacks against Israel, then the Israeli Army strikes out across Jordan to retaliate against Iraq.

 

 -- Then, suddenly, the U.S. “finds and destroys” Saddam's “weapons of mass destruction” -- letting Saddam off the hook -- and Israel never leaves Jordan.

 

 -- Israel keeps Jordan under military occupation -- as a “storage place” to forcibly relocate Palestinians to. -- Then as the war spreads, Israel strikes -- as a “counter-strike” -- of course -- into the Eastern Province of Saudi Arabia -- where the oil is! -- W's paying the freight!  Why not?!

 

*****************************************************

 

 

 -- My personal credentials as a Democrat include working -- usually by “walking a precinct” for a candidate -- Gene McCarthy in 1968 -- flyers for Hubert Humphrey in November -- George Brown US Senate Campaign in California in springtime 1970 -- Jess Unruh in November 1970 against Ronald Reagan -- George McGovern in 1972 -- Jerry Brown and others 1974 -- Jimmy Carter and Mel Levine in 1976 -- which included taking off work on election day to drive senior citizens to the polls.

 

 -- For a while I was Treasurer of the Santa Monica Democratic Club -- Jerry Brown again in 1978 -- I was out of the country for a while, but I made contributions to various liberal Democrats.  I walked a precinct for Ann Richards in 1994 against “you know who”!  An attempted campaign against Rep. Larry Combest in 1996 -- and a precinct for Democrats in East Lubbock that fall.  Campaign contributions totaling much more than $1000 over the years -- including Paul Wellstone, Tony Sanchez, and Ron Kirk in 2002.  I even made a contribution -- hopefully -- to help Elizabeth Dole rescue the Republican Party!

 

 -- I propose 100% government paid health and dental care for everyone. -- Prioritize diseases and start with a 1% national sales tax. -- Increase the national sales tax by 1% per year until the job is done. -- Increase the IRS Standard Deduction to $15,000 or $20,000 and abolish loopholes.

 

 -- Or, perhaps, we could start with a 3% to 5% National Sales Tax, to provide for 100% care for everyone 25 or younger.  -- That way, every baby that begins life inside a poor teenage mother -- will begin life inside a healthy and well-nourished, poor teenage mother.  Today America!  Tomorrow the World!

 

*****

 

 -- I think there is a severe national security crisis with the exploding US Government debt.  This is "Socialism For the Rich" of course -- to counterbalance our "Social Darwinism For the Poor"!

 

     I have lived in Europe for short periods, and I have been living in Colombia (South America) off and on since 1997.  I watch the US Dollar exchange rate very closely -- because that determined how many pesos I had to spend each month.  And with this I have always watched the euro rate as well.

 

 -- Specifically regarding the US Dollar exchange rate with the euro -- I am very concerned about this.  The euro was introduced a few years ago at 1-euro = USD-$1.10.

 

 -- Since then, during the Clinton Presidency, the euro gradually devalued to a low of about 1-euro = USD-$0.87.  And it stayed in the range of $0.88 to $0.92 until about Springtime of 2002.

 

 -- Because the debt was so high, the Fed had to pay somewhat greater interest rates --AND BECAUSE OF THE GOOD FAITH AND CREDIT OF THE US GOVERNMENT -- foreign investors were willing to spend their local currency -- buying US Dollars -- in order to buy US Government bonds.

 

 -- IN THE PAST 8 OR 10 MONTHS the euro has steadily strengthened until today -- 2003-01-26 -- it reached USD-$1.0844!  If we use a “base” of 1-euro = USD-$0.90 less than a year ago, that means the dollar has depreciated against the euro by 17% in less than a year!  We are talking trillions of dollars in the world economy.  Think about that -- profligate tax cutting Republicans!

 

 -- There are good things and bad things about these exchange rates.  As the dollar weakens, US companies that export products get a great advantage in that Europeans (and others) can pay a smaller number of euros to buy US American products -- and this gives these US companies a competitive advantage.

 

 -- Conversely, while the dollar was high, US consumers could buy foreign goods at a reduced dollar cost -- while the European sellers got a good price in euros. -- This has been very important to keeping US inflation low -- and the US Federal Reserve could keep interest rates low because of low inflation -- in spite of the huge government debt.

 

 -- The rapid devaluation in the dollar will have severe consequences when the US Government starts “rolling over” its trillions of dollars of debt -- as the “low interest bonds” will start becoming “high interest bonds”.

 

 -- The reason this will happen is that all during the Clinton years, the US Government was able to provide high value bonds -- at low interest rates -- and as long as the dollar was rising, EUROPEANS COULD BUY DOLLARS AT RELATIVELY LOW COST IN THEIR EUROS -- as compared to future “higher” dollar values.

 

 -- They had to buy dollars first.  Then they could buy US Treasuries -- and other private business debt as well of course.  As long as the dollar was going up -- they made an excellent profit -- IN EUROS -- WITH LOW INTEREST, US GOVERNMENT BONDS.

 

 -- Because of this, foreigners have been buying so many dollars that ONE BILLION DOLLARS PER DAY -- OF FOREIGN MONEY HAS BEEN FLOWING INTO THE UNITED STATES -- ALL DURING THE CLINTON YEARS.

 

 -- But now, Europeans can show a good “dollar profit” -- but with the weakening dollar -- THEY SHOW A LOSS IN THE EUROS THEY SPEND AT HOME EVERY DAY!!!

 

 -- AND THIS IS BEFORE THE WAR STARTS!  The Saudis are very angry about the Republican Slander Campaign against the wife of the Saudi Ambassador to the United States. -- For a long time they have been thinking about reducing their $700-billion or so -- investments in US Dollar government and business securities.

 

 -- And if they decide to dump the US -- and ask President Putin for protection -- AND DEMAND EUROS FOR OIL -- the US Dollar could spiral downward severely -- AND THEN THE US GOVERNMENT WILL BE FORCED TO PAY EXTREMELY HIGH INTEREST RATES TO ATTRACT FOREIGN MONEY TO REFINANCE ONGOING US GOVERNMENT DEBT.

 

 -- THE DOLLAR GOES SOUTH SHARPLY -- and we have to pay a huge increase in dollars to buy euros -- with which to buy oil on the world market.  I don’t expect all this to happen -- but we run a huge risk!  Cheap “euro” goods suddenly become very expensive!  Inflation in the US starts going up -- etc., etc.!!!

 

 -- HOW MANY DOLLARS DOES A EURO COST -- AND HOW MANY EUROS DOES A BARREL OF OIL COST???  Rollin’ rollin’ rollin’ -- though the debt is swollen -- keep them dollars rollin’!  Rawhiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiide!

 

 -- The “fiscal conservative” Republicans have been howling at the moon -- at Jimmy Carter’s (and George Washington’s) terrible, Satanic debt of $1-trillion.  The “Full-Mooners”: Ronnie Raygun, George the Father, George the Son (aka the “Boy Emperor”) and Dick the Holy Ghost (aka "Tricky Dick II") -- have been howling at Jimmy Carter’s Satanic debt -- FROM THE DARK SIDE! -- all the way past $5-trillion -- soon past $6-trillion -- AND W IS LEARNING HOW TO COUNT!!!

 

 -- WHAT’S GOING TO HAPPEN WHEN THE TRUST IN THE “GOOD FAITH AND CREDIT” OF THE UNITED STATES GOVERNMENT DISAPPEARS FROM THE WORLD FINANCIAL MARKETS?!

 

 YOO HOO?!  OH -- YOO HOO?!  WHAT’S GOING TO HAPPEN THEN?!

 

 -- All this is “worst case scenario” of course!  Nevertheless, I think people should start investing in the 10-year “inflation adjusted” US Treasuries.

 

*****

 

 -- The highest priority of U.S. foreign policy with every country in the world, including the Vatican, must be the effective control of world population.

 

*****

 

 -- I support the Equal Rights Amendment -- exactly as it was written before -- fully and completely!

 

*****

 

 -- I support the Gun Control National Guard -- Implement the 2nd Amendment! (http://www.libt-social-dem.org/Libt Gun Control National Guard.htm) Gun people claim that at the time of the American Revolution everyone who had a gun was considered part of : “The Militia”.
 
In its entirety, the 2nd Amendment reads:
 
     “A well regulated militia, being necessary to the security of a free State, the right of the people to keep and bear Arms, shall not be infringed.”
 
     What I say is: “If you have a gun -- YOU ARE A MEMBER OF A WELL REGULATED MILITIA!
 
     Is it in any way dishonest -- to read the 2nd Amendment as “allowing” us to say, “The security of a free State REQUIRES -- that the militia be well regulated.”?  The first paragraph of the US Constitution says its reason for being, among other reasons, is to “insure domestic Tranquility”.
 
     Our gun deaths are enormously greater than that of all other advanced democracies.  It is obvious that we have a “US national emergency” in the critical area of domestic Tranquility.  This should provide the Constitutional permission to “nationalize” The Gun Control National Guard.
 
     Every gun owner -- at the moment of “ownership” or “possession” IS a member of The Gun Control National Guard -- and EVERY gun is registered -- and after a while -- 5-years perhaps -- we “order” SECURE storage of EVERY weapon.
 
     You don't have to go to war or anything else.  You have exactly one -- and only one -- order:  “GUARD THAT WEAPON SECURELY, SOLDIER!”
 
     And if you don't -- if you allow your weapon to be stolen -- or something -- YOU SHARE EQUAL CRIMINAL RESPONSIBILITY -- UNDER MILITARY JUSTICE -- WITH THE PERSON WHO USED YOUR GUN IN A CRIME!

 

     I’m in favor of test firing of every weapon -- as often as is needed for later identification -- from the bullet markings -- which registered gun was used to fire EVERY bullet from EVERY crime scene.

 

     About 5-years later, I will advocate an electronic feedback system that communicates to the armory headquarters of the “militia” -- whenever any gun is removed from its case and “locking mechanism”.
 
     Do you want a “well regulated Militia”?  OR WHAT?
 
     Art Buchwald once said, “Whatever it is those people pulling the triggers constitute -- it is NOT a well regulated Militia!”

 

     Do you want to play games -- or do you want the US Government to exercise proper Constitutional Authority?!

 

 

Lubbock, Texas is in the process of becoming the laughing stock of the country, and even the planet.

 

This anti-evolution hysteria is just insane.  The “theory” of biological evolution is as well accepted as fact -- by every serious scientist on the planet -- as the “theory” of gravity.  AND INDEED IT IS BETTER UNDERSTOOD!

 

Anyone who claims to be a serious scientist that does not believe in evolution -- is in fact a liar -- advancing a particular religious doctrine.

 

Boy George is sending the Justice Department against a biology professor at Texas Tech.

 

The man’s sin is that he wants to teach science in biology class.

 

*******************************************************

 

I WANT TO TEACH SCIENCE IN BIOLOGY CLASS!

 

Natural selection determines evolution.  We have all read about the process by which various antibiotic drugs become ineffective.

 

*******************************************************

 

If you use a drug to kill most -- but not all -- bacteria -- the remaining bacteria have mostly survived because of minor genetic differences.

 

This is the process of natural selection.  Someone’s -- of the bacteria -- were “selected” to survive and procreate -- because the drug which killed most of their “cousins” -- didn’t kill the ones with minor genetic differences.

 

*****  There are millions and millions of these bacteria.  DNA is extraordinarily complex -- and all kinds of natural processes cause this to mutate.  SOME OF THESE MUTANTS SURVIVE!  Penicillin does not kill them anymore.

 

A medical doctor that does not understand -- AND BELIEVE -- that process -- will make bad clinical decisions THAT WILL RESULT IN VIRULENT MUTANT STRAINS OF SEVERE DISEASES-- that can be dangerous for everyone on the planet.

 

***********************************************************

 

Fundamentalist Christians:  Does George Walker Bush demand that his doctor believe NOT in biological evolution?  Demand that he answer you -- YES OR NO!

 

George Walker Bush is a fascist hypocrite!  He wants your vote -- BUT HE DOES NOT WANT YOU TO BE HIS DOCTOR!

 

*********************************************************

 

When I was growing up, I decided to believe in evolution.  My mother believed God worked through evolution.  My dad said, if you don’t believe ALL OF THE BIBLE -- how do you know which parts to believe?  This was how he felt -- except for those parts he disagreed with!

 

He didn’t think “thinking was as bad as doing”!  My guess is -- that like Jimmy Carter -- he “lusted after women sometimes” but never did anything about it!

 

Charles Darwin had been at the university studying -- of all things -- to become a clergyman in the Church of England.  It was considered quite proper for a young naturalist to become a clergyman.  After all, as a naturalist, Darwin had been studying the wonders of God's handiwork.

 

Then he had the opportunity to go along on "The Voyage of the Beagle".  In different continents, Darwin noticed minor variations in the same species, and he set about thinking about how that might have occurred.

 

Eventually, Darwin determined that he could not defend both his religion and his science, and he gave up the ministry.  Even so, he kept his work secret for about 20 years!  Finally, as others started to independently reach the same conclusions, Darwin published "The Origin of Species".

 

This really was “just a theory” until DNA was discovered.  Darwin’s theory has been confirmed.  It is simply fact.

 

DNA is an extraordinarily complex and complicated set of molecules.  Many different natural factors cause this complex set of molecules to undergo minor changes.

 

Gamma rays from the universe, many different kinds of industrial chemicals, replication errors, etc.

 

These changes cause the resulting organism to be different -- and these mutations are almost always injurious -- except once in a great while -- some mutations will give the resulting organism a better chance to survive or reproduce in a hostile environment.

 

The thing people don’t take into account -- in their thinking -- is how much time HAS BEEN AVAILABLE FOR THESE RANDOM CHANGES TO ACCUMULATE.

 

Life on the earth is probably 1-billion years old.  Genesis is not a science book.  Moses didn’t know about DNA.  Modern day scientists do know about DNA -- and this science must be taught in schools -- even in private religious schools.

 

Right-wing Republicans are playing an extraordinarily hypocritical game -- of manipulating people’s sincere religious beliefs -- for crass political advantage.

 

THEY WANT WORKING CLASS RELIGIOUS PEOPLE TO VOTE FOR THE SOCIAL DARWINIST ECONOMIC POLICIES OF THE REPUBLICAN PARTY -- instead of voting for economic progressivism of the Democrats -- who would otherwise be getting a good share of working class religious people’s votes.

 

The Republicans are playing working class religious conservatives for fools -- AND THE WORLD IS WATCHING.  George Walker Bush’s Justice Department is INSURING that the world is watching.

 

I’m sorry to be so blunt -- but that is the truth.

 

*********************************************************

 

The world is also watching George Walker Bush’s “abstinence only” sex education in Texas -- which Ceci Connally of the Washington Post reported a few weeks ago -- results in greater teenage pregnancy and greater teenage venereal disease -- than the rest of the country.

 

We must begin proper and complete -- age related sex education at a young age.

 

A hundred years ago many people got married at age 13, 14 or 15.  We have gradually increased the education requirements for young people to be able to support themselves -- and in doing so -- we have greatly increased the psychological dissonance in young people’s minds.

 

This causes conflict in families -- and many young people become conflicted about their natural desires.

 

Young people begin puberty at about the same time as young people 100,000 years ago.  The DNA that causes young people to begin puberty -- was the same DNA -- almost entirely -- as humans of 100,000 years ago.  And until 100 years ago -- large numbers of people got married within a few years after puberty.

 

100,000 years ago -- if people did not have large numbers of babies from age 15 to 25 -- the human species would not have survived the harsh environment of Darwin’s Jungle.  80-or-90% of babies did not live long enough to reproduce themselves.  The God of Natural Law -- through our DNA -- gave us a strong sex drive -- starting with puberty -- AND THAT IS WHY THE HUMAN SPECIES SURVIVED!  We would not have survived otherwise!

 

Social pressures from parents, teachers, and preachers can influence some young people not to have sex -- and many more believe they shouldn’t -- and therefore do not properly plan to prevent pregnancy and disease -- but many go ahead and have sex anyway -- AND THAT IS EXACTLY THE REASON TEXAS AND ABSTINENCE ONLY -- HAVE GREATER RATES OF TEEN PREGNANCY AND DISEASE!

 

WE HAVE TO TAKE PROPER RESPONSIBILITY TO HELP OUR YOUNG PEOPLE -- IN THE DIFFICULT MODERN WORLD -- AND HYPOCRITICAL RIGHT WING REPUBLICAN POLITICS FAILS MISERABLY.  IT IS JUST THAT SIMPLE.

I am opposed to the inclusion of the term “... one nation, under God, ...” in the Pledge of Allegiance.  This is forced religious indoctrination, and as such is prohibited under the First Amendment.  Forcing vulnerable young children to identify themselves as opposing this forced religious indoctrination -- IS EVEN WORSE.  It is a terrible and hypocritical crime.

I want to make the District of Columbia and also Puerto Rico new states.  The District of Columbia is our own apartheid.  They should have 2 U.S. Senators and a Representative or two.

 

Puerto Rico has about 3-million people -- and should have 5 or 6 Representatives and 2 U.S. Senators.

 

Many liberals in Puerto Rico do not want to become a state -- but I think liberals should figure out how to go about taking power -- and proper representation in the U.S. Congress would advance that goal.

About 10 or 15 years ago, I noticed an advertisement in the Economist (of London) about a 2-year bilingual MBA program in Barcelona, Spain. This is not the same way we think about bilingual education in the United States. This program is bilingual going both directions.

 

The program was run by the Harvard Business School, and a university in Barcelona, with 50% native English speakers and 50% native Spanish speakers.

 

During the first year everyone takes the business courses, conducted in their native language, and an intensive language course in their new language.

 

The MBA courses are the same, whether conducted in English or Spanish. First year English speakers and 2nd year native Spanish speakers sit in business classes conducted in English. And vice versa for Spanish speakers.

 

Look at the valuable cross-pollination. 1st-year Anglos learn business courses -- in English -- along with native Spanish speakers who have had one year of English -- AND -- who have already taken the business courses in Spanish.

 

Look at the benefit (the broad social benefit) of English speaking Americans learning Spanish. There is great potential for economic growth in Spanish America, and Anglos who speak Spanish can become valuable workers -- with corresponding salaries.

 

How could we adapt this for elementary school children? I think this kind of program might be very beneficial to young Spanish speakers -- and English speakers.

 -- The U.S. Secret Government is the biggest drug dealer in the world.  -- Combat Crime, Corruption, Treason and Slavery:  Legalize drugs, prostitution, gambling and pornography, under a “Medical Experiment Model”.

 

 -- I believe we must do much more to help poor people advance themselves economically, but I sincerely believe the best thing we could actually do for poor people is legalize drugs under a Medical Experiment Model.  Ten years ago or so, I read that the mafia takes more money out of Harlem than the welfare programs put in.

 

 -- We just try to help people protect their health.  Some of these drugs are dangerous of course, but the overriding issue is secret government corruption -- and because of that -- drug prohibition is one of those things governments cannot be allowed to do.

 

     As it is currently practiced, mafia control of ambitious and energetic young men in the ghettos is a severe form of fascist social control of our poor minority neighborhoods.

 

     There are more young African-American men 17-23 in jail, prison or parole, than are in college!  It is quite a lot like slavery!  DO YOU UNDERSTAND?  It is quite a lot like slavery!!!

     I support a 1% per year wealth tax on individual wealth greater than $10,000,000.  This tax should be used to provide a small apartment with air conditioning, telephone with Internet and computer-TV, for anyone who needs it.  Today America!  Tomorrow the World!  Not only that!  This way we can get rid of inheritance taxes!

 -- I have personally been victimized by the covert US Government psychological warfare program against civilians. -- According to U.S. Senate testimony about 1987, the purpose of MK-ULTRA (and associated programs) is to determine “whether and how it is possible to modify a person's behavior by covert means”.
 
     The defining document of my psy-war story is my 42-page letter of October 4, 1983
(http://www.libt-social-dem.org/Libt z-pb01.htm) to Rep. Don Edwards, who was then the Chair of the US House Judiciary Subcommittee on Civil and Constitutional Rights. 
 
     In 1972 I began psychotherapy with in California with one of the original LSD researchers from the 1950's.  Years later, after I learned about MK-ULTRA -- I came to believe that everyone in this psychology group were spies -- except for myself -- and they were part of the MK-ULTRA program -- a previously secret, covert psychological warfare program.
 
 

    There was a strange death in this psychology group, and I later came to believe that this death was part of MK-ULTRA.  I consider it highly likely that this death was murder -- or perhaps faked.  (I told you this was a bizarre story!)


     I believe they which employ what I call “a deliberate double language” -- which has some kind of “ostensible” cover story -- but by the particular choice of words -- and deliberate “mis-speaks”-- delivers the “secondary real message” -- which is usually some kind of threat -- violence, drug arrest, etc.
 
     There is a book called “Acid Dreams” -- “The Complete Social History of LSD: The CIA, the Sixties, and Beyond”, by Martin A. Lee & Bruce Shlain (published by Grove Weidenfeld).
 
     Many people have heard years ago about CIA's testing of LSD on unsuspecting people.  This was part of MK-ULTRA.  On page xxiii the authors quote the director of MK-ULTRA as testifying to a US Senate Subcommittee, that one of the purposes of MK-ULTRA and associated programs was -- as I repeat:
 
     “... TO INVESTIGATE WHETHER AND HOW IT WAS POSSIBLE TO MODIFY AN INDIVIDUAL'S BEHAVIOR BY COVERT MEANS.” 

 

     This tells us up front -- that the U.S. Government has practiced -- and I believe continues to practice -- human psychiatric (medical) experimentation -- WITHOUT INFORMED CONSENT.  People who conduct -- and force others to conduct -- human medical experimentation without informed consent -- are called Nazis.

     Very interestingly, Grove Publishing (my book was paperback) is owned by the family of some people I knew in California in this psychology group.  The Grove “family company” was a conglomerate -- and among other things -- besides book publishing -- they constructed missile sites in Saudi Arabia!
 
     I never had a clue about some kind of covert psychological warfare program going on -- but now I believe that to be true -- with absolute certainty.
 
     Also, quite interestingly, one of the group members told us when her brother was promoted to Admiral in the US Navy.  For some time, I lived in a commune in Santa Monica, California, with her daughter, the admiral's niece.
 
     I never thought about this very much, until -- I think it was in 1984 -- when the US Marine barracks in Lebanon was hit by a massive truck bomb that killed 100 or 200 persons or so.
 
     I was watching the news, and the Chief of Naval Operations -- the boss of the Navy and Marines -- Admiral James David Watkins -- came on the screen.  The Chief of Naval Operations -- who sits on the Joint Chiefs of Staff.
 
     I blinked my eyes a second and I thought: “That guy looks like Charlotte!”  And I remembered Charlotte once referred to her grandmother as “Mrs. Watkins".

 

    Later, I realized I knew her birthday, and where she was born.  I have a copy of her birth certificate -- same parents, same town, two years later -- as the future Chief of Naval Operations, and Secretary of Energy to U.S. President George Herbert Walker Bush.

 

     There is a large number of “good ole boys” from the Bible Belt -- with Texas' 19th Congressional District firmly included --  manning -- and perhaps “womanning” -- those nuclear attack submarines.  They needed to study which kinds of psychological procedures -- would in fact condition those people -- to turn the key -- and kill 20-million people.

 

     Do you remember the movie “War Games” -- in which an alarming percentage of those good ole boys, refused -- in fact -- turn that key?

 

     This is altogether a very complicated story.  I’ve been working on writing my autobiography.  In talking about this psychology group, I think I describe means, motive and opportunity!  I believe they committed evil crimes against me, and that these crimes have continued against me for many long and grievous years.

 

     Then the MK-ULTRA “Totalitarian Psychiatry State” followed me into strictly civilian employment INSIDE THE UNITED STATES. -- I made notes EVERY DAY AFTER WORK -- I FILED A LEGAL COMPLAINT AGAINST MY EMPLOYER -- and after that -- “my job” has been to have “conversations” with a psychiatrist about once a month.  Don’t worry -- this has not been a “free ride”.  These doctors have learned an extraordinary amount of valuable psychological insight from me.

 

     Democratic societies do not make and enforce secret law against civilians.  This has happened to me, personally, and it is grievously and horrifically wrong.  Humane societies -- do not conduct human medical experimentation without informed consent.  Human medical experimentation -- without informed consent -- is Nazi by definition.  This is not allowed on the Planet Earth!

     I worked in Saudi Arabia for 3½ years from 1979 to 1983.  I worked as a civilian for a US military contractor at a Saudi Air Force Base.  It was there that I became aware of the psychological project against me.  It wasn’t that I was so smart I “figured it out” -- they made it impossible to ignore -- and there, I also learned about the obvious involvement of US Government “officers, agents and cohorts” in the drug business.

 

     About 10 or 12 years ago, CBS News had a long story about a pilot who said he used to fly drugs -- after filing a flight plan -- into US Air Force Bases in Florida and Louisiana.  He said he was told where to park the plane, then he was given a jeep ride to the base entrance -- where he was given a nice bag of cash -- and a taxi was waiting.  GET A CLUE DEMOCRATS!!!

 

     This is all described at greatly boring length on my web site www.libt-social-dem.org.  I also learned quite a lot about the Middle East Region and their peoples.  There is an extraordinary history there -- also described somewhat on my web site.

 

     There is one particular insight that I think is important.  We all know that a small number of Muslim countries amputate the hands of thieves, and execute adulterers.

 

     The Saudis claim their restrictions on forcing women to wear veils in public -- is to protect women.

 

     I never understood that at all, until very recently.  We all understand sincere religious commitment.  If you are a fundamentalist religious state -- whose religion sometimes calls for the execution of adulterers, then one of the ways to reduce capital crimes -- at least they imagine -- is to force women to wear veils in public -- to cover their pretty faces.

 

     I don’t agree with this at all -- of course.  I am opposed to the religious sanction of violence.  But if we try to understand, I think we can try to work in an ecumenical manner to help some of these countries enter -- what we would consider -- a more modern world.  Their women need to be able to work, quietly and carefully.

Charlotte Watkins -- the Admiral’s sister -- once said her Grandmother had been the first Lt. Governor of Wyoming Territory -- before women had the right to vote.  I was not able to confirm this, though I spent some time about 1995 in the Texas Tech University library (in Lubbock) perusing some history books about the U.S. West.

 

     I was struck by the fact that many women began -- towards the end of the 19th Century -- campaigning for women's suffrage -- AND ALCOHOL PROHIBITION -- at the same time:  "That lousy bum gets drunk and beats me -- and he won't even let me vote!  Right on modern woman.  Demand your rights!

 

     I think this political tactic came from Victoria's Satanic Regime -- from the enslaved and terrorized rich -- Victoria had nieces and nephews and grandchildren throughout the ruling houses of Europe -- who had close business connections with all the rich people.  They started at the top and circled down -- seduce, bribe, threaten, kill.  It's really pretty simple. 

 

     I support women's suffrage of course.  I am a firm supporter of the Equal Rights Amendment.  Victoria gave us equal rights of course.  Before we had 1-man, 1-vote; 1-woman, 0-vote.  Afterwards we had "equal rights"!  Then we had 1-man, 0-vote; 1-woman, 0-vote!

 

     Every cop, every politician, every judge started taking Mafia alcohol money.  After they had established their secret dictatorship, they abolished alcohol prohibition -- and immediately began enforcing drug prohibition -- USING THE SAME CORRUPT FASCIST BUREAUCRATS -- THAT ENFORCED ALCOHOL PROHIBITION!

 

     I wonder if Charlotte sent me on a "snipe hunt" for her grandmother -- for me to learn about the history of the 18th and 19th Amendments.  The spy-world can become real weird once you start believing in conspiracy theories!

 

     There is also "The Politics of Heroin in Southeast Asia" by Alfred W. McCoy.  He discusses how the French used opium as a moneymaker -- and for political control of their empire in Southeast Asia -- and we all remember the Opium Wars that Britain used against the Chinese -- so their imperial regime could sell opium to the Chinese.

 

     McCoy also discusses how the United States became concerned about 1947 or 1948 -- that a communist-led dock strike in Marseille might lead to a communist takeover of France.  The CIA contracted with Sicilian Mafia to beat up the strikers -- and break the strike.

 

     Various Mafia people got deportation orders cancelled, etc.  I believe the CIA invented the infamous "French Connection".  It was only a few years later that heroin started hitting Harlem, big time.  Mafia social control of the restless natives!  Thank you Victoria!

 

     Get a clue folks.  Is the New York Times ready to start printing all the news -- all the truth -- a democratic people need to know?  Get with it news media.  If the people don't know the truth, there is no democracy!

 

     Victoria was born in 1819 and was queen from 1837 until she died in 1901.  I think her ancestors grieved the "loss of the colonies" while she was growing up with her "Divine Right" -- and with McCoy's contribution -- I think they "dreamed it up"!

 

     I found the McCoy book in Pattaya Beach Thailand -- and also in retrospect -- I wonder if my CIA friends (DIA I would imagine) arranged for this book to be in a bookstore very near where -- a bunch of the guys -- used to go for R&R -- two stores from the hotel.

 

     I was never in the military, and while I had a secret security clearance for a while (not top secret) -- I NEVER had responsibility for even one tiny bit of officially secret information.  (I only had the secret clearance because as a mainframe systems programmer I could -- possibly -- hack into secret files.  I certainly never tried to do anything like that!)

 

     I think the entirety of drug prohibition is a trap.  Especially in a place like Saudi Arabia.  If you can "be cool" and keep secrets about drugs -- you can be a good spy -- and keep military secrets.

 

     I feel quite certain that these laws are used EXACTLY to enslave people into being spies.  In this theory, I was protected from this -- being forced to become a spy -- because of the previous death in the psychology group.

 

     I'm just trying to give you a clue or two about why I am so committed to this campaign and the exposure of MK-ULTRA.  I ran against Rep. Combest in 1996, because when the Republicans took over Congress in 1994, he became Chair of the House Intelligence Committee.

 

     I met him briefly in 1996, and he told me he had been looking at my web site.  This is discussed in www.leticia.org.  Leticia is a small tourist town in Colombia on the Amazon River -- which I really like -- except for the war crimes that were committed against me there -- and that's why I bought that web name.

 

     I lived there for perhaps 8 or 10 months.  It was also John Gotti's favorite town.  He was already in prison when I was there.

     A very difficult part of my Victoria theory has the British Foreign Office et al "invented" Hitler and Stalin so that the two most important "competitors" of the Anglo Dictatorship would be so weakened they would lose out in the struggle to control the planet.

 

     Also in my historical reading, I learned that the British Foreign Office was searching for several hundred years for "a reliable ally" in the Middle East -- at the crossroads of three continents.

 

     I have come to believe that an extraordinarily cynical plan was conceived -- to practice "population politics" and insert Israel to be that "reliable military ally".  They (we) needed Hitler to force the Jews out of Europe (and Stalin and 30-million dead Russians to defeat Hitler.)  Not to get the Jews out of Europe -- but so they would go to Israel -- where they would be dedicated and fanatical fighters.

 

     I think this is why we are about to go to war against Saddam Hussein -- in a racist war of imperial aggression.

 

     One of my best friends from college is now a medical doctor.  He told me flat out, "Mossad's going to be on your ass until you stop talking about Hitler."  This is my friend.  He is not my doctor.  He is not supposed to play psychology games with me.  He is telling me that he knows.
