"What men value in this world..."

 more interested in whether the fungi will eat me instead of the other way around...lots of rain 12inch ruler!

bad news this week in the foreign relations...putin showing his colors by cozying up to north korea...the bizarre sur-realistic laws in north korea are an Orwellian nightmare... a man was sentenced to death for smuggling "Squid Game" into the country and the buyer got life in prison and 2 watchers got 5 years of hard labor...whoa buddy!...i never watched the game myself...but thats too stupid even for putin...or not...might be some problems with italy as one of the strongest candidates in their political system is a woman who has been in the fascist party since she was 15 years old...yikes!...i contend that the next mussolini will be a woman...things ain't lookin' so jolly here in error-zona either...nit wits...armed nit wits at that...protesting at the FBI headquarters in feenix...i have been to the FBI a couple of times to have a chat with one of their folks...when you walk into the office there is a bulletproof window where they slide you a piece of paper which reads...'WHAT IS YOUR COMPLAINT...AND WHAT DO YOU WANT US TO DO ABOUT IT!"...not a lot of chit-chat...also i just heard on the radio that some journalist type said he has never encountered anyone as radically conservative  as the folks he as encountered in error-zona...i could have told them that...they should see whats going on in yumertonville...what with the army and the marine facilities there...i had an acquaintance who had done some international traveling and was "re-cruited" into the so-called intelligence community tell me that new orleans had more "covert" operatives per capita than any city in the USA...which is odd since it has long been considered the most corrupted city...maybe they go hand in hand...probably...i bet yumertonville has many more covert operatives per capita than anyplace besides maybe shanghi...which reminds me...everyone who can read should read "Legacy of Ashes" by tim weiner (2007/2008) several times...and it is probably on audio book too...no excuses...it is by far the most scary thing i have ever read...billions of taxpayer dollars wasted and worse than wasted the CIA efforts have turned much of the civilized world against us...look i don't mean to be a reverse snob...but it is obvious that the agency is inbred...RETARDED!...when i read "Ian Fleming" a biography by Andrew Lycett...and the intelligence work by the author of the james bond thrillers it occurred to me that the "tofts" who are part of the peerage are also inbred and these here upper-crusts are no better suited to do intelligence work than anyone and probably worse...these people need to read "The Compulsion to Confess" by theodor reik...i have had so many people confess to being "undercover" or expose someone else who WAS undercover that i think maybe it should be a fundamental part of  training...i was listening to the Inspector General of a special task force to investigate corruption in Afghanistan yesterday...he said they have recovered 4 billion bucks which was mis-appropriated so far...and get this, the USA is out of Afghanistan but in the last year $775 million dollars of taxpayers money has been spent there...that's a lot of college tuition!...I highly recommend a Rick Steves lecture about "Travel as a Political Act" which is very "eyes wide open" view of the USA as compared to the rest of the world...he is not anti american but he feels sorry that in europe they put people before business more often than not...also it might help people get a perspective of how russians view the world if they know that for every american killed fighting the nazis in WW2 the russians lost 80 soldiers and civilians..i had a russian woman tell me that americans don't realize how much the russians did for america...hopefully the russians will see that the militaristic future is a bad plan...hopefully americans will see it too!

                                some good information about weather and weed...and no i was not stoned when i copied this information

more rain in the last week than i have seen in this state in the last 5 years...better than the forests burning up...well got a call from my brother and he sent a text also...as well as an attachment which is a photograph of something too obscure to tell what it is...very suspicious...when i checked my phone mail they tell me the date and the time and the duration...AND THE NUMBER THE CALL WAS MADE FROM! golly gee whiz! my brother has a phone number from this state now...what a surprise...so now my phone has got a virus from the attachment and my blog is hacked and my mail is sometimes delivered half opened...does that happen to the UNITED STATES ATTORNEY do you suppose? this is the reality of my life...i am stalked everywhere...grocery store, library, motel...being in a box can be trying on ones nerves...actually the u.s attorneys are political appointments so they do whatever the politics tells them to do...and harassing me has been on the duty list for a long time...i am going to write a longish account of my life soon..before i get on the raft to the farther shore anyhow...and it will detail my experiences from australia, mexico, the Caribbean, alaska. and from san francisco to virginia to new orleans...it won't be pretty...watched a few movies last week... "Riddick...the name says it all...it was a bit of "patriarchal phallocentrism..." and the fact that both of the female co-stars were killed off in both his movies was a negative aspect of these movies...the expendable women syndrome in action...the action was usually exciting so it was not a bad movie experience but it could have been better...also i watched "Big Easy"  from 1986...filmed in new orleans but the accents were imported from new iberia...a rather outrageous oversight by the movies makers...the new orleans accents are much more like the bronx accents . i have seen plenty of movies about new york and los angeles and san francisco where they got the dialogues correct...why goof up the new orleans characters? i was amused that jim garrison played himself  as a judge in this movie...most people know him as the district attorney...he was replaced by harry connick...harry took all the boxes of files about the kennedy assassination and was going to send them to the dump before they were rescued... pappy jack said jim was a nut case but pappy jack spent his entire working life investigating organized crime...and he didn't like to talk too loud or bite the hand that feeds him...more about his quagmire later...
