MISSION STATEMENT
The PonyTail Institute for Change (pi4c) was officially
registered in Fairfax County, Virginia on November 18, 1996 for the purposes
of social and political sensitization.
Predicated on the premise that at its most fundamental level
it is the individual, the I's, me's of this world, that are the root cause
of many, if not most, of the problems of this planet, and that simplicity
is the essence of perfection, the Institute seeks to effect change at
the unit level, the individual, through increasing the sensitivity of
the individual to the fundamental causes of problems and providing support
necessary for the individual to grow and thereby reduce that individual's
contribution to the problem. It is the one thing each and every individual
can do. Cumulatively ...
At this juncture, however, the pi4c is engaged in a life
and death struggle.
I, Keith B. Davis, founder, director, and currently the
sole member of pi4c am conducting the PonyTail HUNGER-STRIKE FOR JUSTICE,
a protest of what in reality is a death sentence imposed upon me by those
in control of the government of the state of minnesota and those in control
of the united states government, (capitalization deliberately omitted).

THE DEATH SENTENCE:
It is equally apparent that he suffers from severe emotional
instability which seriously impairs his professional judgment. Without
the benefit of competent medical testimony neither the referee nor this court
is qualified to arrive at a diagnosis or prognosis concerning the respondent's
mental health.
... suspended ... petition for reinstatement
... entertained ... provide substantial evidence ... overcome ... psychiatric

The above is an excerpt from the last page of the opinion
by which I was suspended from the practice of general law by the state
of minnesota. The patent and trademark office rubber stamped the so-called
opinion.
One lied.
The other swore to it.
The so-called opinion is unlawful on its face. Should anyone
trouble themselves to go beyond that face, they would find that any such
"psychiatric" problem issue had been expressly excluded as an issue in the
proceedings. The trial/hearing judge (a District Court Judge), had denied
a Rule 35 Motion for Mental examination sought by the state. I had not
objected to the motion. The only caveat I had put on that issue was that
the state pay for an expert witness of my choice, and pay for my time
because my practice was very young. The law clearly gave me the right to
have my own expert witness present (the tests are very subjective, Rohrshock
ink blot and the like).
Let's put this mental thing to rest once and for all. About
5 years prior to the Rule 35 disciplinary proceeding motion of the above
paragraph, as part of divorce proceedings, I had been through this psychiatric
testing drill. I characterize the process as one of each side getting a
hired gun (expert witness) and they go into court and have a shoot out. We
did. My ex's experts said yes he is. Mine said no he isn't. The judge said
nothing. The last is the most significant. That judge issued a proper decision,
one which included findings of fact, and conclusions of law. He made no
direct finding whatsoever relating to the psychiatric issue. He inferentially
did so when he found I was a "fit parent".
THE MAJOR LIES:
I. That at the time in question, I had psychiatric problems
which rendered me incompetent, or was otherwise incompetent, to represent
clients in the state of minnesota. At best, an unproven allegation. In
fact, calculated character assasination and business libel. A MAMMOTH LIE.
One lied.
The other swore to it.
II. That if I in fact had psychiatric problems, I would
not seek appropriate treatment. The court, and that is taking major liberties
with the word, correctly wrote that there was "no evidence that [I] was
disposed to submit to psychiatric or other medical treatment." (Literally
true, but misleading.) Of course there wasn't any evidence. The matter had
been specifically excluded from issue during pre-trial. A MAMMOTH LIE.
One lied.
The other swore to it.
Every proper judicial proceeding of this type should follow
the following progression: 1) allege it; 2) prove it; 3) incorporate it
into a finding(s) of fact; 4) incorporate it into conclusions of law; and
5) incorporate it into the final order. "They" omitted the first four steps.
I defy anyone to compare the so-called opinion to any recognized standard
for essential elements in a decision, such as those undoubtedly provided
to newly appointed judges. The entire so-called opinion is A MAMMOTH LIE.
One lied.
The other swore to it.
The so-called opinion had to have been written before the
trial on the merits, and almost certainly was written before the pre-trial
hearing at which the Rule 35 Motion for mental examination was denied.
A very calculated, pre-meditated MAMMOTH LIE.
One lied.
The other swore to it.
The so-called opinion includes fifty two denigrations. At
best, if one could succeed in comprehending them, and with one possible exception,
probably boiler plate assertions that apply to every person who has ever
practiced law. In reality, totally unrelated to "instability" or "psychiatric".
It is as though they are gratuitous. The exception may be those which relate
to my asking two clients to provide me with AFFIDAVITS OF GOOD FAITH. Their
official position was that asking the clients to sign a very simple affidavit
was intimidation. In reality, an admission that the client could not sign
the affidavit without committing perjury. A MONSTROUS PACK OF LIES.
One lied.
The other swore to it.

MISSION STATEMENT DEATH SENTENCE EXECUTION TRIPARTITE CHECKS & BALANCES HUNGER STRIKE FOR JUSTICE CURRENT DAILY MESSAGE
TRIPARTITE SYSTEM OF CHECKS &
BALANCES:
After exhausting all legal appeals, the judicial branch
of government, by definition, was the problem. It could not be said whether
it was the problem because of an inherit flaw, or because it was controlled
by evil people acting with malice.
In all events, I sought to test the checks and balances
theory of our government, that having a tri-partite form of government,
that three separate and equal branches of government would protect the citizens
of this society from the excesses of one branch of government.
Pursuant to the 1st Amendment Constitutional right to "petition
the government for a redress of grievances", the issue of the UNLAWFUL
suspensions was presented to the Executive and Legislative branches of government
in a variety of ways. suffice it to say that, if anything, the response
to each such "petition" was to compound the injury.

HUNGER STRIKE FOR JUSTICE:
The Pre-Strike Notices.
January 19, 1999 - the following pre-strike notice was an
attachment to a fax sent to Attorney General Janet Reno and Secretary of
Treasury Robert Rubin.
-- NOTICE OF DEATH SENTENCE PROTEST --
I previously invoked your supervisory authority in a matter
known as the PonyTail issue.
Basically, it was a petition for redress of grievances relating
to what, on the surface, is only UNLAWFUL suspensions from the practices of
law.
In fact, however, the UNLAWFUL suspensions are a death sentence.
You have been advised that the minimum acceptable response
is the simple declarative sentence:
The suspension is unlawful.
At best, your response has been stonewalling.
You are hereby given NOTICE that unless I receive such minimal
relief, in protest of the unlawful suspension, the murderous treatment to
which I have relentlessy been subjected since its imposition more than twenty
years ago, and the callous, heartless indifference and conspiratorial non-feasance
by those offices intended to protect the citizens of this country from such
tyranny, I shall commence a hunger strike not later than noon on Monday,
January 25th., 1999.
I repeat, THIS IS NOT ABOUT AN UNLAWFUL SUSPENSION, IT IS
ABOUT A DEATH SENTENCE. The hunger strike shall make it official.

JANUARY 25, 1999 COMMENCEMENT;
The PonyTail HUNGER-STRIKE FOR JUSTICE officially commenced

[4 DAYS TO BODY SHUTDOWN BOILER PLATE]
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Rarely does stress directly, or instantly, kill you.
However, stress is an important ingredient in almost every fatal and non-terminal
illness. For example, chronic, unmanaged stress from work, school, financial
problems, and illness itself compromises the proper functioning of disease-fighting
white blood cells, which monitor abnormal cell development and marshal
attacks against invading organisms. When the immune system is weak, this
abnormal cell growth can occur with little to keep it in check. It is believed
that some cancers result from this process. Constant stress produced by
hostile feelings, anxiety, long hours, poor sleep, etc., contributes to
cardiovascular disease by slowly creating fissures in arteries that carry
blood to
the heart. Over time, these ruts are filled in with
cholesterol, which can build up to restrict, and even cut off, blood flow
and harden (reduce elasticity) arteries. These conditions can lead to heart
attacks and strokes.

The evidence unequivocally evinces a plan designed,
calculated and intended to sytematically, methodically subject the victim
to conditions which maximize stress and deprive him of any and all stimuli
which would reduce stress. The PonyTail HUNGER-STRIKE FOR JUSTICE merely
accelerates that which is otherwise inevitable.

that "following an order" is not per se a defense?
[1 DAY TO BODY SHUTDOWN BOILER PLATE]
FEBRUARY 1, 1999 HUNGER STRIKE DAY 8/1; SHUTDOWN COMMENCEMENT/O_ME
I trust you agree that once body shutdown has commenced
during the course of a voluntary hunger strike, the person engaged in the
strike has placed their life in significant danger, particularly when the
individual is going on the 60th year.
Is it too much for such a person to ask the remainder of
the society to carefully consider the reasons why the person is taking
that risk?
OWE ME
A VICTIM'S PERSPECTIVE
I repeat, the emotional beating to which I have been subjected
is the full equivalent of the physical beating which formed the basis for
the California Federal Civil rights action.
In case you overlooked it before, the simple, four word
declaratory sentence:
The suspension is unlawful.
should obviate the need for continuation of the hunger
strike.
I also repeat, never once, not ever, in the twenty plus
years of attempts to rectify this injustice has anyone ever said the suspension
was lawful.
You suggested the material had reached a magnitude which
was more than you could comfortably handle so I include a copy of the order
which DISMISSED the Rule 35 Motion for a Mental Examination (thereby withdrawing
my mental state from issue) and repeat information here which will enable
you to obtain any other document you feel you might need for a thorough
evaluation/investigation of the matter:
MINNESOTA SUPREME COURT ID: No. 401 In the Matter of the
Application for the Discipline of KEITH B. DAVIS, an Attorney at Law of
the State of Minnesota.
Filed February 10, 1978
Case # 47630
ANY THOROUGH EVALUATION/INVESTIGATION OF THE MATTER MUST
RECONCILE MY WILLINGNESS TO TAKE A MENTAL EXAMINATION SUBJECT ONLY TO THE
TWO CONDITIONS THAT A MEDICAL EXPERT OF MY CHOOSING BE PRESENT AT THE
EXAMINATION, PAID FOR BY THEM, AND THAT I BE PAID FOR MY TIME, THAT POSITION
MUST BE RECONCILED WITH THE STATEMENT IN THE OPINION THAT THERE WAS "NO
EVIDENCE" I WAS "DISPOSED TO SUBMIT TO PSYCHIATRIC OR "OTHER MEDICAL TREATMENT".
Judges can blithely ignore pre-trial proceedings? If the problem, in fact,
is psychiatric, who would be goofy enough to seek "other medical treatment".
What do you suppose their reaction would have been had I got "other medical
treatment", came back to them with a receipt for payment of the Dr's bill,
and told them that the Dr swears I am 100% free of medical problems. That
would have been dealing with them on their own level. The decision is unlawful
on its face. Additionally, I defy you to find any training manual for newly
appointed judges in which the so-called opinion meets at least 50% of the
manual's essential requirements for a true opinion.)
You appeared to reject out of hand the notion that a fascist
agenda existed in the United States.
Do not master race, uber alles, euthanasia mean ELITISM?
JUDGES DON'T HAVE TO MAKE SENSE
It is equally apparent that he suffers from severe emotional
instability which seriously impairs his professional judgment. Without
the benefit of competent medical testimony neither the referee nor this court
is qualified to arrive at a diagnosis or prognosis concerning the respondent's
mental health. ... suspended ... petition for reinstatement ... entertained
... provide substantial evidence ... overcome ... PSYCHIATRIC problems. It
is so ordered. |
PHYSICIANS DON'T HAVE TO MAKE SENSE
As per my fax of last week, yesterday I sought counselling re
how to minimize the health risks incident to a HUNGER-STRIKE FOR JUSTICE
which I had commenced earlier that day.
Specifically, I asked for information regarding use of electrolytes
(my recollection is that Mitch Snyder used them during his SUCCESSFUL hunger
strike during the 80's), re use of supplements such as potassium to maximize
mental acuity, and re pain medication.
Dr. ___ denied the requested counselling after apparently
conferring with Dr. ___. The stated reason for the denial was the Hippocratic
Oath.
I advised Dr. ___ that the denial was illogical. To elaborate,
were a hunger strike necessarily fatal, then denial would possibly be required
by the oath.
Because a hunger strike undertaken as an act of civil disobedience
has as its object correction of some injustice, correction of the justice
shall stop the strike. Accordingly, denial of counselling is not only
illogical, but, in fact, a VIOLATION of the Hippocratic Oath.
Ok, I get it, some people of this society can do anything
they want, for any reason t hey want. They just say something and,
by definition, that's the way it is. The ELITE of this society don't have
to make any sense.
Does this not make this an ELITIST society? And, if this
is an elitist society is this not a FASCIST society!!!!!!
Of course only a lunatic would think, let alone come right
out and say, that judges and physicians ever, shall we say, "network" at
gatherings, oh let's say at country clubs. Some of the finest country clubs
in this country. As a matter of fact, country clubs with members who are
the wealthiest members of this society. Put this all together and what do
you have. Would you deny there are plenty of poor people rotting in jail
on a lot looser theories than this?
If that was not concert of action, why did the physicians
default directly to a denial o f medical care?
I defy you to find anything whatsoever in the so-called
opinion which suspends me from the practice of law which comes remotely
close to supporting the conclusion of "psychiatric" problems, as the above
does to making the case for this being a fascist society.
Oh yes, when I called and left the message, there were a
number of items on the agenda, and one of them is that there seem to be obstructions
on the net to sources which might provide me with help, for example, a professor
of logic.
I was pro se in those proceedings. Do you suppose any of
those rocket scientist judges, hell bent on silencing me, had any duty
to see that I had competent representation, be the proceedings civil or
criminal? Do you suppose they were COMPETENT enough to know that? Even in
Perry Mason or LA Law they would have adjourned the proceedings and appointed
counsel to represent the accused, and the proceedings are quasi criminal.
Why the rush? Maybe there was a magic bullet for this horrible affliction.
Do we paint someone as having psychiatric problems more casually than we
dispose of traffic ticket issues? Incidentally, I know what the rush was.
The relevance of this may not be immediately apparent, but
it is, so let me share with you my "crazy" view of our "representative" form
of government in which the representatives are selected by an "election" process.
To be sure, it is superior to the government of a syphilitic,
tyrant king, or any tyrant king, for that matter. It is not, however, the
gag me with a spoon, nauseating panacea of standard USA political rhetoric.
It is deeply flawed. I genuinely believe it has this society on a course
of self destruction which can only be avoided by a Constitutional amendment.
This is not a rant, thought it may at first appear so please
bear with me.
Is not our form of government essentially two groups of
bums and bumettes, one called the Democrats and the other called the Republicans.
At any point in time, one of the groups is in power. They remain in power
until the public gets so fed up with them that they throw them out of
power, at which time the other group of bums and bumettes necessarily
acquires power by default.
At this point in history, we lack the specter of a tyrant
king to ennoble our elected representatives to rise above the temptations
of selfish interests and we barely lack a remembrance of the sacrifices
made by so many in the conflicts in which this society has engaged.
There is a solution, the same solution we have used when
it was time for some dying to be done. Select our representatives by drafting
them. Establish a pool of qualified candidates and select representatives
by drafting them.
I have been advocating this theory for some time, on some
occasions using a lottery selection metaphor. (I have increasingly become
enamored with the notion of a society walking up to an individual and saying,
ok buster/busterette, get your affairs in order, you are going into training
and you may be spending the next 4, 6, 8 years doing something else. I
really like the notion of that. A lot.) In all events, the point is that
the theory is not merely an argument to serve an immediate need.
This is the voice which "they" seek to silence. And I ask
you, in the society which worships at the altar of the bull market, is
there any more effective way of silencing one than to deny him the right
to practice his chosen profession and to preclude him from gaining any other
meaningful employment by fabricating a phantom "psychiatric" illness? Particularly
when the specificity, to take obscene liberties with that word, was "UNSTABLE".
No medical/psychiatric person has been able to tell me what that condition
is. And, we all appreciate, don't we, that if one was checked on one day
and found ok, well, he just might not be right the next day and who would
want to take a chance entrusting their legal work to that kind of lawyer.
And who would want to entrust ... Almost a designer illness isn't it. Suits
every need the fascists had. Both the immediate and long term. Til death
as a matter of fact. And that is exactly and precisely what the intended
effect of their action was.
The material you have received states categorically that
I am not attempting suicide. I repeat, I am not attempting suicide. I am
merely accelerating, in a desperate attempt to stay alive, that which is
otherwise inevitable.
I repeat that the emotional beating to which I have been
subjected is the full equivalent of the physical beating which formed the
basis for the California Federal Civil rights action. "They" have totally
IMMERSED me in STRESS INDUCING stimuli and, conversely, have systematically
and methodically DEPRIVED me of every STRESS ELIMINATING stimuli they possibly
could in order to maximize the effect. For more than twenty years. I have
a leg up on 59 years of age.
It can not be emphasized enough, the simple, four word declaratory
sentence:
The suspension is unlawful.
should obviate the need for continuation of the hunger strike.
Doesn't it just seem to make sense that in the twenty plus
years of attempts to rectify this injustice, if there were any merit whatsoever
to the suspension that one of the hundreds of rocket scientist quality
legal minds to which this issue has been presented, all eminently qualified
and, of course, unquestionably competent, that maybe one of them would
have included a succinct statement that the suspension was indeed lawful?
It was a chance to show off their skills and prowess with the english language,
so important to jurisprudence in a sophisticated society, by crafting a
few reasons, that even a competently challenged person such as myself could
understand, as to why the two sentences which say opposite things actually
support each other?
Maybe I've been watching too much Andy Rooney. Andy, where
the hell are you when one really needs you?
If anyone honestly believed that the suspensions are lawful
I could accept that as an appropriate disposition of the case as to them,
provided only that they put it in writing with supporting reasons. Is that
too much to ask of this society?
I hear words now occasionally most likely intended as a
precursor to my confinement on the basis of "danger to himself or danger
to the public" laws. Are we to have a further overt act the sole purpose
of which is to silence my voice? In a society which boasts of free speech
yet. Let's try to remember, what was it we said the Soviets did to their
dissidents? Called them lunatics and confined them, as I recall. Made out
that this was really a very horrible thing to do. Human rights violations,
as I recall. But of course there is no such thing in the US of A. By definition,
there is no such thing.
With resolve,

Please, please, please think long and hard and objectively
about yesterday's message.
Freed of the lunacy of Hitler, fascism is alive and kicking,
more subtle, and thus more dangerous.
Has anyone really seriously examined the question of whether
or not WORLD FASCISM, in all its insiduous forms, is the most serious problem
on this planet today?

but remember, a Rule 35 Motion for Mental examination was DENIED in pre-trial.) |

AND THEN BASE THE DECISION SOLELY ON THAT MATTER!
All three branches of government have in effect signed off
on this. A system of checks and balances?

Today's message shall address a response to yesterday's

"Enough tyranny!! Employ common sense justice!"
Enough tyranny, indeed. Any tyranny is too much tyranny.
Are not KKK and vigilante justice each species of the genus
"common sense"? Unfortunately, the species homo sapien does not come equipped
with a standard measure for common sense. At a minimum, the second sentence
is thus ambiguous.
Reasoned justice, the justice of logic instead? Or, simply
Constitutional justice.
Incidentally, many years ago in response to my request a
professor of logic prepared an affidavit for me stating the so-called opinion
was a "fallacy".
[DAY 11/4 BOILER PLATE]
[BODY SHUTDOWN=4 DAYS ]
FEBRUARY 5, 1999 HUNGER STRIKE DAY 12/5; MOMENT OF SHAME
Let me share with you part of a conversation which I had
with my oldest son last night.
I told him of a moment of shame in the tiny little community
of my youth. With a few remarkable exceptions, my youth was idyllic, in
a very large part because of the quality of life provided by that tiny little
town, the proverbial Norman Rockwell Americana. They were wonderful people.
They did have their moment of shame.
We only had four teachers in our high school. (Three had
their masters degree during my matriculation, during my Sr./Jr.-Sr.(?)
yr. one was a retired president of a small college.) When I was quite young,
one was a very attractive young woman, it probably was her first job out
of college. Young boys are pretty keen on attractive women. She married during
the summer following her first year of teaching in our school, and she
and her new husband returned for the following school year, he also as
one of the four high school teachers.
Some of you may have never heard of a "shivaree". I was
too young to know absolutely, but am virtually positive they were quite
common in the area.
In any event, the next day we were short two high school
teachers.
Not a few of the participants in the shivaree were then,
and continue to be, my heroes, WWII veterans. It is a virtual certainty
that virtually, if not literally, all the participants were liquored up
to one degree or another.
It truly was a moment of shame for that tiny little community.
We youngsters felt it keenly.
Is not the PonyTail incident a USA moment of shame?
You have a say as to how great that moment of shame shall
be.
You have a say as to whether or not a reminder of that shame
shall be created outside the borders of this country. A provision in my will
reads:
"Under NO circumstances am I to be buried on United States
soil unless the mass media, at least 14 calendar days prior to my death,
has reported an unequivocal repudiation* from the practice of general law
in the State of Minnesota and the practice of patent law before the US Patent
and Trademark Office**. |
|
* of my UNLAWFUL suspensions ** and provided I have acknowledged said repudiations in writing
|
For the benefit of anyone joining this "thread" mid-way,
the UNLAWFUL suspensions, as made manifestly clear by the messages which
preceded this one, are the proverbial one lied, the other swore to it.
The will is handwritten and was written while riding on
the metro in April of 1993 at a time of particular concern about my well
being. I have continued to be in roughly monthly contact with the two persons
who witnessed the will. I say this to refute any challenge to the will.
(It is a duly executed Virginia "self- proving" will for those who picked
up on the "metro hand writing" issue.)
In the spring of 1993 I initiated efforts to make burial
arrangements in Canada. By the spring of '97 I had made the last payment
on a burial plot and received a deed for plot number 117, Block D, Section
46 in the Brandon Municipal Cemetery (Manitoba, Canada). I own that plot
free and clear.
Whether it is used is subject to the above caveat. You have
more to say about whether it is used, and when it might be used, than I do
- the reality of this is that it is a protest of a death sentence.
How great, and perpetual, shall this USA moment of shame
be?
The problem is not the messenger.
A physician has advised me that the body starts to shut down
approximately one week after the commencement of a hunger
strike. Accordingly:
BODY SHUTDOWN HAS OCCURRED

FEBRUARY 8, 1999 HUNGER STRIKE DAY 15/8; SPOTLIGHT FOR JESSE
I know Jesse Ventura loves to be in the limelight. Jesse,
I have accommodated you.
First a little background. When Jesse was elected governor,
I immediately supported him, there was neither snickers nor condescension
from the PonyTail. My congratulatory email included words to the effect
he was embarking on an historic voyage, and concluded with "Godspeed Jesse
Ventura!". This sentiment was as heartfelt as heartfelt can be.
The email also urged him to make the PonyTail issue a transition
issue, to divorce himself from the issue. It was created by the Minnesota
"establishment" repudiation of which, it would seem, was the theme of
his campaign.
Thus my posting of the following throughout Minnesota and
the nation:
GOVERNOR VENTURA:
As you may or may not be aware, I emailed you a congratulatory
message which concluded "God Speed Jesse Ventura", subsequently presented
to you by both email and fax a transition issue, and have emailed you ab
initio all notices relating to the PonyTail HUNGER-STRIKE FOR JUSTICE, a
protest of what is nothing less than a death sentence imposed upon me by
the supreme court of minnesota (lack of capitalization deliberately omitted).
If you have, in fact, received these materials you are a
co-conspirator in a conspiracy to commit murder.
If you have not received them, please contact me immediately
- I am 14 days into the hunger strike which means I am about 7 days into
BODY SHUTDOWN.
Today's daily mailing, sent to you and a significant number
of others, immediately follows and includes information for contacting
me.
-- redundant material omitted --
A very public personal note to Jesse: February 10, 1999
would be the 21st. anniversary of this travesty. It would be very comforting
not to have to experience that. The "simple four word declaratory sentence"
should end those anniversaries forever.

It is about a 98.8% certainty moves are afoot to silence
me by confining me. My brother called me and said my two sons (who both
live in Minnesota) had called him and said they were concerned about me
and had reached the Fairfax something or other, in this instance, the confinement
people. Would I go in and see a Dr. Yardley? I said no, but I would be
happy to speak with the Dr. by telephone. My brother responded I don't know
if that would be "acceptable". To which I responded: Aceptable??????????
In any event, he checked and called back and gave me the Dr.'s number, a number
for Dr. Yardley, a MS. Yardley it turned out. She asked me how I was, and
I said something to the effect that all things considered I was very good
and we both laughed. Early in the conversation I told her I had been unlawfully
suspended from the practice of law and was in the 16th. day of a hunger
strike for the purpose of putting an end to 20 pl us years of victimization.
Ultimately she asked me if I wanted to talk to her, and I said yes, I was
always looking for people to tell my story to, and that there were medical
issues on which she could provide me help. This unequivocally flustered her,
rather, something absolutely flustered her at this exact point and thus the
98.8 certainty this had been a cooked procedure. I told her I would fax her
a couple of documents and we agreed she would call me back. I made the call
to her at approximately 10:26. It lasted 3-4 minutes, bringing us to 10:29-10:30.
Faxing of the documents was completed in 5-10 minutes, eogo 10:34-10:40.
Dr. Yardley has not called back yet. I finished writing this at 11:55, further
evidence ...
This is not paranoia. It would be stupid for one in my position
not be aware of the possibilities such as this, indeed, it would be sick
not to.
Is it just a coincidence this comes a day after posting
the "SPOTLIGHT FOR JESSE" and its related mailing on 50 to 100 Switchboard.com
Town Boards?
Freedom of speech? Come let us reason? Is this Jesse's response?
A physician has advised me that the body starts to shut down

strike. Accordingly:

One of my businesses is named Demographics Associates.
Demographics. Numbers basically. Numbers which give meaning
to that to which they relate.
There are numbers which I am curious about, and which I
shall probably never know. Important numbers. They relate to this society.
As the most powerful society on this planet, critically important numbers
to every person on this planet it would seem.
Justice has not been done.
The numbers I am curious about are those which relate to
how the people of this society care about justice not having been done.
Some people are ecstatic that justice has not been done.
The extremes of the spectrum of this group are the perpetrators and the
enemies of this society. Actually, are they not one and the same. Destroyers
of this society is thy name.
Other people don't care whether or not justice has been
done. Apathy is thy name.
Another group of people would truly like to see justice
be done. Silent is thy name.
And lastly, some are unable to understand whethe r or not
justice has been done. Vulnerable is thy name.
The destroyers of this society shall raucously celebrate
the silence, when this voice can no longer speak.
Even if the silence is deafening you would not know it by
the actions of the apathetic, for they are a universe unto themselves, and
act only unto themselves, even if the silence is deafening when this voice
can no longer speak.
The silent group shall be annoyed and aggravated when this
voice can no longer speak, they still having some conscience and the silence
shall thunder to them as a reminder of that which was left undone, when
this voice can no longer speak.
And the vulnerable will not even hear the silence, and they
shall be the most needing of all to hear this voice, when this voice can
no longer speak.
And for that group of 1, how shall he be judged because
he refused, was too busy, was unable to write these words in the third
person, when this voice can no longer speak?
Demographics. What are these numbers? By those numbers shall
this society be judged.
Justice has not been done. Preposterous is thy name that
says justice has been done.

Please do not do anything which would take away the biggest
weapon I have in this war. In a hunger strike, that weapon is the possibility
of death.
The perpetrators already have gone past the point of no
return as conspiring to commit murder, attempted murder. And if this thing
does play its way out, at least in a just and democratic society, it would
be murder 1. That's the biggest weapon I have. Please do not do anything
that would take it away from me.
You children have a cloud over your heads. Were I to die
from natural causes, at a minimum it would always be lurking below the
horizon from whence the perpetrators could summon it should it be either
necessary or indeed, should they merely arbitrarily choose to do so. As
sick as they are, the latter is a distinct and perhaps even likely possibility.
I truly have no life. Saving my life at this time is to
throw cold water on me to revive me for more abuse. The last 20 plus years,
have been years of oppression, suppression and exploitation.
Doing this at this time is doing it while you are still
young enough to start a truly new life. It will give you closure. It is
the most effective way to remove that cloud from over you children's head.

Notwithstanding your female specific specialty, you are

Writing in the journal Psychosomatic Medicine, Swedish investigators who studied 300 women aged 30 to 65 years say a key factor is heart rate variability, or how that organ deals with given instances of stress. Women who tend to be isolated socially or forced to suppress anger tend to have a lower HRV and may be at risk of developing atherosclerosis and other heart ailments.
It is noted that the study was restricted to females. I am a male,
and have been trained in science (BSEE '61, SDSM&T) and know that risk
in females does not necessarily mean risk in males. Your views please as
to how likely it is that this applies equally to men.

TREASURY
Perhaps some have wondered about the prominent role played
in this matter by the Treasury Department, they are on the same level as
the Justice Department and the Executive Branch of overnment.
The suspensions are UNLAWFUL. A loss for the UNLAWFUL destruction
of my law practices was claimed on my income tax return. The IRS disallowed
the deduction and ultimately the matter wound up in the Tax Court.
During the pre-trial conference (and we already know all
about pre-trial matters don't we, thanks to the pre-trial withdrawal of
all mental issues), during the tax pre-trial conference IRS counsel when
asked admitted the suspensions were unlawful, to which I responded that
we should then so stipulate. Such stipulations are the essence of pre- trial
reduction of issues to only those in dispute. IRS counsel refused to so
stipulate. That is when I knew just how much trouble I was in. Such refusal
is a violation of the cannons of ethics and would never be done unless the
counsel knew he was backed up virtually if not literally all the way to the
top.
Ultimately this led to giving the IRS notice that I would
no longer file a tax return, and in fact not filing a return for the last
10 years or so. Relief has been sought from each of the various Secretaries
of Treasury since I arrived in the DC area in the mid 80's, noting that
I did not file a tax return.
In law school, I got all A's on my tax courses. I know that
a refusal to file is ordinarily automatically free room and board. The IRS
regularly advises me they have quarters reserved for me which they think I
should occupy. My response has been that until they do their whole job, specifically
until they allow the deduction which by law they are required to do, until
that time, they are nothing but vigilantes and should they attempt to exercise
any control whatsoever over my person or property that is exactly how they
shall be treated.
Note that there is an absolute right to a deduction per
se. The amount of the deduction is, of course, subjective. The tax-issue
is the absolute right to a deduction. If the IRS refuses to acknowledge
a right to a deduction, they are selectively administering the tax laws.
My refusal to file is an act of civil disobedience in a
society which literally came into existence as a result of civil disobedience.
The IRS has operated as an instrument of tyranny for approximately
the last twenty years by repeatedly levying on my wages.
In doing so, the IRS has been a co-conspirator in a conspiracy
to commit murder.
That conspiracy has included individual specific overt attempts,
but also includes physiological and psychological assaults the normal and
logical cumulative effect of which would be death by attrition and debilitation.
The issue is directly on the desk of the Secretary of Treasury,
presently Robert Rubin. The supervisory authority of the SoT was invoked.
Supervisory authority is non delegable. The issue is directly on the desk
of the Secretary of Treasury.

-- lengthy discussion showing USA elitism omitted as redundant -- Does this not make this an ELITIST society? And, if this is an elitist society is this not a FASCIST society!!!!!! -- numerous other messages deal with "selectiveness" issues, another species of elitism --
and similarly may recall the reference to the History Channel documentary THE PLOT TO OVERTHROW FDR:
Day __/__ -- I was unable to find a daily message relating to this per se, but positively recall typing "FDR" many times as the message was posted to Switchboard.com message boards --: THE PLOT TO OVERTHROW FDR chronicled planning and implementation activities in the 30's by wealthy US citizens for the purpose of installing a fascist government in the United States. (The program video is not yet available from the History Channel and when I requested they send me a producer's synopsis by fax or email the request was refused. When I next requested a telephone number or other means to contact a person higher in the hierarchy to pursue the matter further, the request was frustrated.)
With that background, and the several times messages have been
expressly dedicated to the wall-erected-between/Jesse-stonewalling issue
[Day data to be inserted here when time permits], consider the following
position paper type of statement on the internet, page URL: http://jesseventura.org/internet/howuse.htm.
How I Will Use The Internet by Jesse Ventura December 28, 1998 &nb sp; In our 1998 campaign, we used the Internet in a number of important ways. As Governor, I'll continue to use it. Specifically, I will use the Internet to: [uno #1 immaterial] Put citizens on equal footing with lobbyists. [uno #2 immaterial] [discussion of uno #1 immaterial]
Put citizens on equal footing with lobbyists. Professional lobbyists have three things ordinary citizens don't have: 1) money to buy influence, 2) easy access to inside information, and 3) easy access to public officials.
... I want to use the Internet to make the tools of democracy more available to ordinary citizens. [We're ok up to this point] ... When we SEEK [emphasis added] your topic-specific [had Jesse already decided the voice of at least one particular citizen was not to be heard] input in this way, you can use the Internet to pipe your comments st raight into our hands. While you won't be physically present in our offices, the input you offer in &nb sp; response to our requests will receive our personal attention and be fully considered as we make our decisions. ... Mobilize citizens to help Mae Schunk and me achieve the government reforms WE SAID WE [emphasis added] would achieve. [But certainly he didn't mean to the exclusion of other needs of citizens. And absolutely, he could not have designed this statement to totally exclude input from particular citizens, to only selectively receive citizen input. To do that would be an elitist, wouldn't it Jesse!]
This can be summed up in one word.

Jesse has been sent roughly 40 emails re the conditions
which imperil my life. Conditions created by minnesota elitists.
There has not been one single personALIZED contact in response
to those roughly 40 emails. Neither by email, nor by snail mail, nor by
fax, nor by telephone. Zero, none, not any. There has been nothing other
than standard form responses. The matter is life threatening. Increasingly

Shortly after Jesse was elected, I noted a posting on a
board in Minnesota attacking Jesse. I posted a response in essence saying
the writer was complaining because Jesse was not displaying the characteristics
of the establishment types they had expressly repudiated when they elected
Jesse and had already turned on Jesse because he was not, in essence,
"political". That's a lot of essence, but it also included a statement
thanking God that Jesse would never be an oily politician, that Jesse could
contribute a lot by just being Jesse and he knew best how to do that.
I am not a Jesse basher.
I have to challenge the above position type statement.
Do Jesse's policies apply equally to ALL citizens? Are they
applied selectively? Was the posting an oily politician canard? (This word
shall take on new meaning in a subsequent message(s).) Jesse has been sent
roughly 40 emails re the conditions which imperil my life. Conditions created
by minn esota elitists.
There has not been one single personALIZED contact in response

them, including electronic dirty tricks (EDTs). The matter is life threatening.

MARCH 1, 1999 HUNGER STRIKE DAY 36/29; '33 FASCIST PLOT
THE BUSINESS PLOT TO OVERTHROW ROOSEVELT
In the summer of 1933, shortly after Roosevelt's "First
100 Days," America's richest businessmen were in a panic. It was clear
that Roosevelt intended to conduct a massive redistribution of wealth from
the rich to the poor. Roosevelt had to be stopped at all costs.
The answer was a military coup. It was to be secretly financed
and organized by leading officers of the Morgan and Du Pont empires. This
included some of America's richest and most famous names of the time:
Irenee Du Pont - Right-wing chemical industrialist
and founder of the American Liberty League, the organization assigned to
execute the plot.
Grayson Murphy - Director of Goodyear, Bethlehem Steel
and a group of J.P. Morgan banks.
William Doyle - Former state commander of the American
Legion and a central plotter of the coup.
John Davis - Former Democratic presidential candidate
and a senior attorney for J.P. Morgan.
Al Smith - Roosevelt's bitter political foe from New
York. Smith was a former governor of New York and a codirector of the American
Liberty League.
John J. Raskob - A high-ranking Du Pont officer and
a former chairman of the Democratic Party. In later decades, Raskob would
become a "Knight of Malta," a Roman Catholic Religious Order with a high
percentage of CIA spies, including CIA Directors William Casey, William
Colby and John McCone.
Robert Clark - One of Wall Street's richest bankers
and stockbrokers.
Gerald MacGuire - Bond salesman for Clark, and a former
commander of the Connecticut American Legion. MacGuire was the key recruiter
to General Butler.
|
The plotters attempted to recruit General Smedley Butler
to lead the coup. They selected him because he was a war hero who was popular
with the troops. The plotters felt his good reputation was important to
make the troops feel confident that they were doing the right thing by
overthrowing a democratically elected president. However, this was a mistake:
Butler was popular with the troops because he identified with them. That
is, he was a man of the people, not the elite. When the plotters approached
General Butler with their proposal to lead the coup, he pretended to go along
with the plan at first, secretly deciding to betray it to Congress at the
right moment.
What the businessmen proposed was dramatic: they wanted
General Butler to deliver an ultimatum to Roosevelt. Roosevelt would pretend
to become sick and incapacitated from his polio, and allow a newly created
cabinet officer, a "Secretary of General Affairs," to run things in his
stead. The secretary, of course, would be carrying out the orders of Wall
Street. If Roosevelt refused, then General Butler would force him out with
an army of 500,000 war veterans from the American Legion. But MacGuire assured
Butler the cover story would work:
"You know the American people will swallow that. We
have got the newspapers. We will start a campaign that the President's health
is failing. Everyone can tell that by looking at him, and the dumb American
peop le will fall for it in a second"
|
The businessmen also promised that money was no object:
Clark told Butler that he would spend half his $60 million fortune to save
the other half.
And what type of government would replace Roosevelt's New
Deal? MacGuire was perfectly candid to Paul French, a reporter friend of
General Butler's:
"We need a fascist government in this country to save
the nation from the communists who want to tear it down and wreck all that
we have built in America. The only men who have the patriotism to do it are
the soldiers, and Smedley Butler is the ideal leader. He could organize a
million men overnight."
|
Indeed, it turns out that MacGuire travelled to Italy to
study Mussolini's fascist state, and came away mightily impressed. He wrote
glowing reports back to his boss, Robert Clark, suggesting that they implement
the same thing.
If this sounds too fantastic to believe, we should remember
that by 1933, the crimes of fascism were still mostly in the future, and
its dangers were largely unknown, even to its supporters. But in the early
days, many businessmen openly admired Mussolini because he had used a strong
hand to deal with labor unions, put out social unrest, and get the economy
working again, if only at the point of a gun. Americans today would be
appalled to learn of the many famous millionaires back then who initially
admired Hitler and Mussolini: Henry Ford, John D. Rockefeller, John and Allen
Dulles (who, besides being millionaires, would later become Eisenhower's
Secretary of State and CIA Director, respectively), and, of course, everyone
on the above list. They disavowed Hitler and Mussolini only after their atrocities
grew to indefensible levels.
The plot fell apart when Butler went public. The general
revealed the details of the coup before the McCormack-Dickstein Committee,
which would later become the notorious House Un-American Activities Committee.
(In the 50s, this committee would destroy the lives of hundreds of innocent
Americans with its communist witch hunts.) The Committee heard the testimony
of Butler and French, but failed to call in any of the coup plotters
for questioning, other than MacGuire. In fact, the Committee whitewashed
the public version of its final report, deleting the names of powerful
businessmen whose reputations they sought to protect. The most likely reason
for this response is that Wall Street had undue influence in Congress also.
Even more alarming, the elite-controlled media failed to pick up on the
story, and even today the incident remains little known. The elite managed
to spin the story as nothing more than the rumors and hearsay of Butler and
French, even though Butler was a Quaker of unimpeachable honesty and integrity.
Butler, appalled by the cover-up, went on national radio to denounce it,
but with little success.
Butler was not vindicated until 1967, when journalist John
Spivak uncovered the Committee's internal, secret report. It clearly confirmed
Butler's story:
In the last few weeks of the committee's life it received
evidence showing that certain persons had attempted to establish a fascist
organization in this ountry.
There is no question that these attempts were discussed,
were planned and might have been placed in execution if the financial backers
deemed it expedient.
MacGuire denied [Butler's] allegations under oath,
but your committee was able to verify all the pertinent statements made
to General Butler, with the exception of the direct statement suggesting
the creation of the organization. This, however, was corroborated in the
correspondence of MacGuire with his principle, Robert Sterling Clark, of
New York City, while MacGuire was abroad studying the various form of veterans'
organizations of Fascist character.

Needless to say, the survival of America's democracy is
not an automatic or sure thing. Americans need to remain vigilant against
all enemies... both foreign and omestic.

A MEDIA CONSPIRACY OF SILENCE
Why did minnesota (LCD) create a second supreme court time
only a few years after the so-called opinion came down?
There is an instance in which an entire Supreme Court did
"go down", the Nebraska Supreme Court circa 1939. How did the media cover
that incident?
As I recall, the Nebraska justices took bribes in a tax
matter. Not exactly a threat-to-the-elite issue, is it!

The issue was created by the minnesota, lack of capitalization deliberate
(LCD), by the minnesota establishment.
Gov. Ventura ran as a Reform party candidate. I presume that means
reform of government as reflected by the establishment.
Numerous attempts were made to give Gov. Ventura an opportunity
to keep the onus where it belongs, on the establishment, by making the
issue a transition issue.
I do not know whether those attempts were frustrated by members
ofthe establishment who have surrounded Gov. Ventura, or whether he is
ducking the issue.
Numerous attempts have been made to call Gov. Ventura's attention
to the issue since he took office. Ditto frustrated/ducking.
The history of those attempts is set forth at the web sites and
in numerous postings to Switchboard.com Town Meeting Boards, including
those for each of St. Paul and Minneapolis.
Today is the 43rd day of "The PonyTail Hunger-Strike for Justice".
A physician advised me that "body shutdown" would commence after about
the 7th day. Accordingly, I am more than a month into body shutdown.
My 60th. birthday would be later this summer.
If a person considers an issue important enough to lay their life
on the line for it, in minnesota (LCD), would that entitle the individual
to the civility of a personal response from the chief executive officer
of the state?

MARCH 9, 1999 HUNGER STRIKE DAY 44/37; Gap Widening
Webster's definitions of government include the following:
government:
3a: the office, authority, or function of governing;
5b: the complex of political institutions, laws, and customs through
which the function of government is carried out in a specific political
unit;
As applied to the United States, I trust all would agree that "governing"
would mean according to the Constitution, all laws properly derived therefrom,
and the common law not specifically abrogated by such laws.
Similarly, "political unit" must necessarily mean the Constitutional
Democratic Republic known as the United States of America.
Standard political rhetoric characterizes elected officials as "public
servants". Clearly politicians want the general p ublic to believe the
purpose of government is to SERVE the people.
Equally clearly, politicians have discovered the word "govern"
and its definitions, and have found its terms and conditions far more
suited to their natural inclinations. Again from Webster:
govern: 2: to exercise authority.
We have a government which governs.
We do not have a government which serves the people.
Would anyone dispute that the exercise of arbitrary authority is
anarchy? The exercise of any and all authority which does not comport
with the Constitution is arbitrary authority, even if it be the will of
98% of the people. That is the difference between a majority rule society
and a society governed by a Constitution. Did not our founding fathers
specifically seek to provide the few with the same protection from a tyrannical
majority which the society as a whole sought from a tyrannical king?
Tri-partite system checks and balances theory tests
date from as early as February 1985 when the issue was presented to the legislative
branch (letter dated Febr. 5, 1985 to Messrs. Rodino and Dargen); and to
President Reagan (letter dated Febr. 7, 1985).
The PonyTail issue was put directly on the desk of the Attorney
General of the United States on: December 7, 1993.
The PonyTail issue was put directly on the desk of the Secretary
of Treasury of the United States on: December 13, 1993.
Terms of settlement were tendered to the office of the President
of the United States in December of1992 and The PonyTail Issue was put
in the office of the Chief of Staff to the President of the United States
not later than: December 19, 1995.
Stonewalling.
If it isn't consistent with the ruling class agenda, it doesn't
happen.
No matter how legitimate and urgent the issue is, if it is contrary
to the ruling class agenda, it doesn't happen.
Money talks. Those who have money regularly spend an evening in
the Lincoln bedroom.
This is not to quarrel with political sorts hob knobbing with those
who have already made political contributions, nor those who are good
candidates for making such contributions. Campaigns are expensive. Mere
survival is always a special place, even in politics.
It is to quarrel with making it a virtual condition of access to
the bureauacrcy.
Granted, giving the PonyTail access means settlement of the issue
which in turn means funds will become available for facilitating change,
change which would seek to level the playing field.
It doesn't take a rocket scientist to understand their reluctance
to create a forum for the issue.
In a Constitutional Democratic Republic, reluctance wouldn't have
a damn thing to do with it.
In this society, it has everything to do with it.
I trust all remember the mal feasance, mis feasance, non feasance
message. Arbitrarily WITHHOLDING a service from a citizen, be that citizen
wildly popular or the most villified citizen of the society, is anarchy.
When there is a pattern of government arbitariness over a long period
of time which serves to disproportionately benefit the elite of a society,
the society is a fascist society ala the "uber alles", "the master race",
"euthanasia" daily message.

Do you not agree that if someone responsible for the impeachment
process: a) was aware of the possible existence of such conduct; and,
b) failed to ascertain whether or not it in fact existed, that such party

A recurring theme of the daily message has been the elitist nature
of this society. Today's message was essentially completed on Saturday,
and was envisioned as a one or two sentence food for thought message.
Today's email included a stat which can not be ignored.
THE ORIGINAL MESSAGE:
Does anyone doubt that were a member of the elite to put an issue
directly on the desk of two cabinet officers and in the office of the President's
chief of staff, that the issue would be given a hearing?
In a heartbeat the elitist's issue would be given a hearing!
THE STAT:
WASHINGTON - The United States will soon
be the world's largest jailer, surpassing Russia as the country with the
highest rate of incarceration, a Justice Department report said Sunday.
The number of American adults imprisoned has more than doubled over the
past 12 years, reaching its highest level ever in 1998, with an estimated
1.8 million people. At the end of 1985, the figure was 744,208. |
THE LINK: ANARCHY
Anarchy has also been a daily message recurring theme. Establishment
anarchy! Establishment anarchy breeds citizen anarchy. Will government
accept its responsibility for its contribution to the above stat?
Has government accepted its responsibility for its contribution
for such matters as the Oklahoma City bombing?
Your attention is called to the March 9th. Daily Message which included
the following:
"We do not have a government which serves
the people.

anarchy? The exercise of any and all authority which does not comport

Near the end of the Bush term, Barbara Bush took a high profile
stance that the problem of the poor was their lack of education. The
PonyTail wrote to her: "Why don't you just spit in their faces?" I believe
that is a direct quote. The letter also included a statement to the effect
that the far greater problem of the poor was ala the THOSE WHO ARE IN CONTROL
Daily Message, those who control the society for their own selfish interests,
fascists, I believe they were called. The elitists.

MEDIA PROPAGANDISTS
Today's message is a post in response to a Third
Age Featured Member Letter by Bill Richmond prefaced by the statement:
Today, I would like to talk about an issue
near and dear to my admittedly biased heart--society's tendency to "kill
the messenger." |
THE PonyTail RESPONSE POSTING
I've heard lawyers say that if they are allowed to define the issue,
they win the debate by default. You prefaced your article by defining
the messenger as the "legitimate news media". Your article made it clear
you were talking about the grunts, the working stiffs, and to me this
category includes the likes of Dan Rather, Barbara Walters and not just
the lesser known. You singled out one individual, and that individual's
journalism for fault.
Were that individual and that type of journalism the only fault
of the media, I could heartily endorse your article. I can not. Your
article totally ignores media at the institutional level. There are huge
problems at that level. The evidence increasingly points to an institutional
media which is first and foremost the propaganda arm of the elite who control
this society. If a matter is inconsistent with the agenda of the elite,
it is not "newsworthy". What is your explanation for the "conspiracy of
silence" which has surrounded the PonyTail issue for twenty plus years?
That agenda is not only inconsistent with the elitists agenda, it directly
attacks the elitist agenda!
The PonyTail issue is not a complex issue. Anyone who can handle
two sentences at the same time can understand it. Those two sentences are:
"It is equally apparent that he suffers
from severe emotional instability which seriously impairs his professional
judgment. Without the benefit of competent medical testimony neither the
referee nor this court is qualified to arrive at a diagnosis or prognosis
concerning the respondent's mental health." |
Either the court could or could not make a diagnosis. It said it
could not. Technically it did not because medically speaking there is
no such thing as "emotional instability". That point is moot, however,
because the action taken by the court, en banc, unanimously, is predicated
entirely, 100%, on a gratuitous diagnosis by the court of "psychiatric problems".
It is actually that ridiculous, bizarre, and self evident.
The issue has not been newsworthy. For twenty plus years it has
not been newsworthy. The entire supreme court of a state is "dirty"
and it is not newsworthy.
Readers can make a more informed judgment should they chose to by
visiting a PonyTail Institute for Change website. Financial reasons have
precluded a professional web site presentation of the issue, but more
particulars are available at the following sites which I have personally
constructed:
TEXT ONLY: pi4c
HTML & JAVA:
Site 1: pi4c
Site 2: pi4c
The issue is basically and fundamentally a patriotic issue. The
sites are admittedly bare knuckle, hardball. At this juncture there is
no alternative.
Certainly there are good journalists, but where are the Charlton
Hestons among the grunts, the working stiffs? (Another post re your letter
cites the stand CH made against Time/Warner on the Ice-T cop killer rap
issue.)
Until one of them summons the courage and integrity to stand up
and take a stand, individual journalists in my mind are indistinguishable
from institutional journalists.
Incidentally, the PonyTail has been generating a Daily Message
for approximately six weeks the boiler plate closing of which is: "The
Messenger is not the problem".

MARCH 19, 1999 HUNGER STRIKE DAY 54/47; THANK YOU MATTI
GOLAN
Matti Golan, writing in the Israeli Globes newspaper about an Israeli
politician:
... an individual who had the temerity to
believe that, as of the day he became a public servant, the public should
serve him and his economic needs.
He can still salvage some remnant of his human self-respect if
he will but release Israeli society from his corrupt and corruptive public
presence.
... realise that ... [the politician's party's] first duty is ...
to Israeli society in general, and to its voters in particular. This duty
obliges [the political party] ... to wash its hands, unequivocally and
absolutely, of [the politician]
|
Those sentiments are fine poetry to me.
Those sentiments as they apply to the PonyTail issue:
The perpetrators have the temerity to believe
that, as of the day they became a public servant, the public should serve
the perpetrators and the economic needs of the perpetrators, should serve
their private agendas.
They can still salvage some remnant of their human self-respect,
and some renmant of respect for this society, if they will but release
the world society from their corrupt and corruptive public presence.
American society must realize that its first duty is to those who
have given that last full measure for liberty, justice and all the priciples
of democracy, not only in this country but throughout the world. This duty
obliges American's to wash their hands, unequivocally and absolutely, of
those who are in control of the society.
|
Those who have followed the issue closely will know the sentiments
resonate with me and perhaps even recall comments about the need for a
Constitutional Amendment which would address this issue specifically. For
those joining the Daily Message thread mid-stream, the Daily Message for
February 1, 1999 proposes replacing the "elective" process for selecting
public officials with a draft or lottery selection process as a mechanism
for eliminating the sytem which allows powerful interests to control a supposedly
democratic society.

An attempt was made to contact you through the agency which apparently
represents you, Creative Artists Agency, but their web presence is apparently
limited to a page which includes their logo, snail mail address, and telephone

Congratulations on your award and my commendations of your actions

conscience.
Never before has this planet so urgently needed people with such

I understand you have spoken out on a range of issues spanning

we have a reasonable degree of control. Both are good choices.
Both also have the same cause: species homo sapien.

Let's see if a hypothetical won't jar our truculent bureaucratic
friends (TBFs) loose.
For our hypothetical we shall assume a citizen living in a society
with a tri-partite form of government, a society having three separate
but equal branches of government for the express purpose of serving as
checks and balances against abuses of power in any one branch of government.
Our hypothetical further assumes such a checks and balances theory was
deemed essential because of a history of abuse of the citizenry from their
former system of government, oh, let's say the government of a syphilitic
tyrant king.
The hypothetical shall further assume the citizen was grievously
injured by one branch of the government.
Would anyone argue that it would be other than proper for the citizen
to seek redress of his grievances from the other two branches of government?
Of course, any and all TBFs are free to spare us all an exercise
of the obvious by simply doing that which it is their obligation to do,
upholding the Constitution, that which they are sworn by oath to do.

Article I of the "Bill of Rights", uno 1, the very first one, grants
to citizens the RIGHT "to petition the Government for a redress of grievances".
Let's limit our discussion at the moment to two such "petitions",
the petition on the desk of the attorney general of the United States,
Jane Reno, and the petition on the desk of the secretary of treasury of the
United States, Robert Rubin.
As you may recall, the petitions got on those desks by invoking
the "supervisory authority" of the individual behind those desks.
The supervisory authority of the attorney general was invoked on
December 7, 1993.
The supervisory authority of the secretary of treasury was invoked
on December 13, 1993.
The matter is life threatening. Increasingly life threatening.
They know it is life threatening. They know it is increasingly

It has been life threatening on other occasions. They knew it was

joined in the behavior and thereby created a conspiracy to subvert the
Constitution?
Do you not agree that if significant numbers of the general population
are aware of the conduct, yet do nothing, they thereby embrace the conduct?
Do you not agree that if the foregoing is true, that any such society
has no constitution?
Such a society has only anarchy.
Do you not agree that, in judging a public servant's conduct, subversion
of the Constitution is far more grievous than sexual misconduct?

A recurring theme of the daily message has been the elitist nature
of this society. Today's message was essentially completed on Saturday,
and was envisioned as a one or two sentence food for thought message.
Today's email included a stat which can not be ignored.
THE ORIGINAL MESSAGE:
Does anyone doubt that were a member of the elite to put an issue
directly on the desk of two cabinet officers and in the office of the President's
chief of staff, that the issue would be given a hearing?
In a heartbeat the elitist's issue would be given a hearing!
THE STAT:
WASHINGTON - The United States will soon
be the world's largest jailer, surpassing Russia as the country with the
highest rate of incarceration, a Justice Department report said Sunday.
The number of American adults imprisoned has more than doubled over the
past 12 years, reaching its highest level ever in 1998, with an estimated
1.8 million people. At the end of 1985, the figure was 744,208. |
THE LINK: ANARCHY
Anarchy has also been a daily message recurring theme. Establishment
anarchy! Establishment anarchy breeds citizen anarchy. Will government
accept its responsibility for its contribution to the above stat?
Has government accepted its responsibility for its contribution
for such matters as the Oklahoma City bombing?
Your attention is called to the March 9th. Daily Message which included
the following:
"We do not have a government which serves
the people.
Would anyone dispute that the exercise of arbitrary authority is
anarchy? The exercise of any and all authority which does not comport
with the Constitution is arbitrary authority, even if it be the will of
98% of the people. That is the difference between a majority rule society
and a society governed by a Constitution. Did not our founding fathers
specifically seek to provide the few with the same protection from a tyrannical
majority which the society as a whole sought from a tyrannical king?
Tri-partite system checks and balances theory tests date from as
early as February 1985 when the issue was presented to the legislative
branch (letter dated Febr. 5, 1985 to Messrs. Rodino and Dargen); and
to President Reagan (letter dated Febr. 7, 1985).
The PonyTail issue was put directly on the desk of the Attorney
General of the United States on: December 7, 1993.
The PonyTail issue was put directly on the desk of the Secretary
of Treasury of the United States on: December 13, 1993.
Terms of settlement were tendered to the office of the President
of the United States in December of 1992 and The PonyTail Issue was put
in the office of the Chief of Staff to the President of the United States
not later than: December 19, 1995.
Stonewalling."

Near the end of the Bush term, Barbara Bush took a high profile
stance that the problem of the poor was their lack of education. The PonyTail
wrote to her: "Why don't you just spit in their faces?" I believe that
is a direct quote. The letter also included a statement to the effect
that the far greater problem of the poor was ala the THOSE WHO ARE IN
CONTROL Daily Message, those who control the society for their own selfish
interests, fascists, I believe they were called. The elitists.

MEDIA PROPAGANDISTS
Today's message is a post in response to a Third
Age Featured Member Letter by Bill Richmond prefaced by the statement:
Today, I would like to talk about an issue
near and dear to my admittedly biased heart--society's tendency to "kill
the messenger." |
THE PonyTail RESPONSE POSTING
I've heard lawyers say that if they are allowed to define the issue,
they win the debate by default. You prefaced your article by defining
the messenger as the "legitimate news media". Your article made it clear
you were talking about the grunts, the working stiffs, and to me this
category includes the likes of Dan Rather, Barbara Walters and not just
the lesser known. You singled out one individual, and that individual's
journalism for fault.
Were that individual and that type of journalism the only fault
of the media, I could heartily endorse your article. I can not. Your
article totally ignores media at the institutional level. There are huge
problems at that level. The evidence increasingly points to an institutional
media which is first and foremost the propaganda arm of the elite who control
this society. If a matter is inconsistent with the agenda of the elite,
it is not "newsworthy". What is your explanation for the "conspiracy of
silence" which has surrounded the PonyTail issue for twenty plus years?
That agenda is not only inconsistent with the elitists agenda, it directly
attacks the elitist agenda!
The PonyTail issue is not a complex issue. Anyone who can handle
two sentences at the same time can understand it. Those two sentences are:
"It is equally apparent that he suffers
from severe emotional instability which seriously impairs his professional
judgment. Without the benefit of competent medical testimony neither the
referee nor this court is qualified to arrive at a diagnosis or prognosis
concerning the respondent's mental health." |
Either the court could or could not make a diagnosis. It said it
could not. Technically it did not because medically speaking there is
no such thing as "emotional instability". That point is moot, however,
because the action taken by the court, en banc, unanimously, is predicated
entirely, 100%, on a gratuitous diagnosis by the court of "psychiatric problems".
It is actually that ridiculous, bizarre, and self evident.
The issue has not been newsworthy. For twenty plus years it has
not been newsworthy. The entire supreme court of a state is "dirty"
and it is not newsworthy.
Readers can make a more informed judgment should they chose to
by visiting a PonyTail Institute for Change website. Financial reasons
have precluded a professional web site presentation of the issue, but
more particulars are available at the following sites which I have personally
constructed:
TEXT ONLY: pi4c
HTML & JAVA:
Site 1: pi4c
Site 2: pi4c
The issue is basically and fundamentally a patriotic issue. The
sites are admittedly bare knuckle, hardball. At this juncture there is
no alternative.
Certainly there are good journalists, but where are the Charlton
Hestons among the grunts, the working stiffs? (Another post re your letter
cites the stand CH made against Time/Warner on the Ice-T cop killer rap
issue.)
Until one of them summons the courage and integrity to stand up
and take a stand, individual journalists in my mind are indistinguishable
from institutional journalists.
Incidentally, the PonyTail has been generating a Daily Message
for approximately six weeks the boiler plate closing of which is: "The
Messenger is not the problem".

MARCH 19, 1999 HUNGER STRIKE DAY 54/47; THANK YOU MATTI
GOLAN
Matti Golan, writing in the Israeli Globes newspaper about an Israeli
politician:
... an individual who had the temerity to
believe that, as of the day he became a public servant, the public should
serve him and his economic needs.
He can st ill salvage some remnant of his human self-respect if
he will but release Israeli society from his corrupt and corruptive public
presence.
... realise that ... [the politician's party's] first duty is ...
to Israeli society in general, and to its voters in particular. This duty
obliges [the political party] ... to wash its hands, unequivocally and
absolutely, of [the politician]
|
Those sentiments are fine poetry to me.
Those sentiments as they apply to the PonyTail issue:
The perpetrators have the temerity to believe
that, as of the day they became a public servant, the public should serve
the perpetrators and the economic needs of the perpetrators, should serve
their private agendas.
They can still salvage some remnant of their human self-respect,
and some renmant of respect for this society, if they will but release
the world society from their corrupt and corruptive public presence.
American society must realize that its first duty is to those who
have given that last full measure for liberty, justice and all the priciples
of democracy, not only in this country but throughout the world. This duty
obliges American's to wash their hands, unequivocally and absolutely, of
those who are in control of the society.
|
Those who have followed the issue closely will know the sentiments
resonate with me and perhaps even recall comments about the need for
a Constitutional Amendment which would address this issue specifically.
For those joining the Daily Message thread mid-stream, the Daily Message
for February 1, 1999 proposes replacing the "elective" process for selecting
public officials with a draft or lottery selection process as a mechanism
for eliminating the sytem which allows powerful interests to control a supposedly
democratic society.

An open letter to Michael Douglas
I recently learned you had been named a "United Nations 'Peace Messenger'"
in mid 1988.
An attempt was made to contact you through the agency which apparently
represents you, Creative Artists Agency, but their web presence is apparently
limited to a page which includes their logo, snail mail address, and telephone
and fax numbers.
Congratulations on your award and my commendations of your actions
which brought you the award.
Never before has this planet so urgently needed people with a highly
developed social conscience, and with courage enough, to act upon that
conscience.
Never before has this planet so urgently needed people with such
a highly developed social conscience to maximize the effectiveness of
their efforts.
I understand you have spoken out on a range of issues spanning
nuclear arms to small arms. The former poses the greatest threat to this
planet; the latter, has the greatest immediate negative impact over which
we have a reasonable degree of control. Both are good choices.
Both also have the same cause: species homo sapien.
Would you Mr. Douglas have time, energy and resources to support
an entity which seeks to eliminate the cause of both of those evils.
That entity is the PonyTail Institute for Change.

MARCH 25, 1999 HUNGER STRIKE DAY 60/53; HYPO
Let's see if a hypothetical won't jar our truculent bureaucratic
friends (TBFs) loose.
For our hypothetical we shall assume a citizen living in a society
with a tri-partite form of government, a society having three separate
but equal branches of government for the express purpose of serving as
checks and balances against abuses of power in any one branch of government.
Our hypothetical further assumes such a checks and balances theory was
deemed essential because of a history of abuse of the citizenry from their
former system of government, oh, let's say the government of a syphilitic
tyrant king.
The hypothetical shall further assume the citizen was grievously
injured by one branch of the government.
Would anyone argue that it would be other than proper for the citizen
to seek redress of his grievances from the other two branches of government?
Of course, any and all TBFs are free to spare us all an exercise
of the obvious by simply doing that which it is their obligation to do,
upholding the Constitution, that which they are sworn by oath to do.

Article I of the "Bill of Rights", uno 1, the very first one, grants
to citizens the RIGHT "to petition the Government for a redress of grievances".
Let's limit our discussion at the moment to two such "petitions",
the petition on the desk of the attorney general of the United States,
Jane Reno, and the petition on the desk of the secretary of treasury of the
United States, Robert Rubin.
As you may recall, the petitions got on those desks by invoking
the "supervisory authority" of the individual behind those desks.
The supervisory authority of the attorney general was invoked on
December 7, 1993.
The supervisory authority of the secretary of treasury was invoked
on December 13, 1993.
The matter is life threatening. Increasingly life threatening.
They know it is life threatening. They know it is increasingly

If this society endorses that which "those who are in control"
have done, at a minimum, a permanent cloud shall be placed over the role
of the USA in WWII thereby denigrating the efforts of those who served in

Do any of you recall the following from the April 7th. Daily Message:
... all preliminary work has been completed
for ratcheting the gig up not one, but two additional notches. Comparatively
speaking, I would consider these two expansions in scope orders of magnitude
greater than any made heretofore.
Implementation of the[se] latter two shall be delayed until at
least Thursday April 8th. to give you an opportunity to initiate settlement
proceedings.
You need do only two things:
1. Provide me with the simple four word declarative sentence:
The suspensions are unlawful.,
preferably from AG Janet Reno; and,
2. Contact me personally with particulars of a proposed settlement
negotiation procedure. |
The two additional increases were:
A) - expanding the distribution to include
NATO & PIP MEMBERS; and,
B) - taking the issue public in the Washington, DC area with signs
and handouts. |
As previously reported, NATO & PIP were added on April 12th.
A dress rehearsal for the signage occurred Tuesday, April 13th.;
on Wednesday, April 14th., signage activity targeted the Justice Department
and the White House and application was made for a permit for the complete
ground-based sign on The Mall; on Thursday, April 15th., the permit for
Mall signage was received and signage handout distribution was hugely successful
at the King Street Metro.
Does the PonyTail do what he says he is going to do?
Does anyone feel the interests of this society would have been better
served had the truculent bureaucrats complied with the two conditions?

For the vast majority of us, do we do anything more important in

My own parents were wonderful parents. On a comparative basis.
On an absolute basis, on a scale of 1-10, I would be lucky to squeeze out

What percentage of the 12 years of schooling deemed important enough

Accordingly, this message is specifically directed to those on

of rights violations and social conscience related issues. As context,
my reply post follows:

or resources to expend helping you per se. However, I may be able to
help in an indirect way.
Although I have not had time to review your material in detail,
it appears that the two of our experiences may form a whole that is greater
than the sum of the individual parts.
I shall explore that possibility as time and energy permits and
request that you do likewise. I publish a Daily Message and in today's
message shall solicit others to do the same and shall include you on the
distribution list.

Commonalities of the two incidents would be evidence,
conclusive or otherwise, of a conspiracy. In considering the matter, it
must be kept in mind that in some instances two entirely independent actions
can constitute a conspiracy. There can be a conspiracy even if the perpetrators
are totally unknown to each other. And, we have the conspiracy hierarchy

That was my initial impression also, however, even sick people

Additionally, we don't know to what extent his apparent illness is the

MAY 2, 1999 HUNGER STRIKE DAY 98/91; 2nd CHANCE
Today it seems appropriate to address a few events which can easily
be attributed to a power beyond that of a mere mortal.
The decision which placed me on a collision course with the establishment,
"those who are in control" was made in 1962. Although not literally
one, it was in the nature of a new years resolution. Like virtually
all such resolutions, as time passed, I strayed from it. It seemed that
each time I would do so, the big guy, yes, the guy of infinite love, the
all loving guy had a very sharp stick which had an incredible ability
to find my derriere until I got back on the right path. So long as I
stayed on the path, my life seemed to have harmony and direction; off the
path, it was chaotic and dischordant. The chaos-discordant phenomena dominated
the period immediately following my suspension from the practice of law,
a time which was extremely painful for me. The sole, one and only, true
social aspect of my life during that time was visitation with my children.
From my perspective, pitifully too few visitations. I drank more than
any other time during my life. In one of the frequent moments which, in
hindsight, was nothing more than feeling sorry for myself, I realized
that the suspension was nothing more than the confrontation with the establishment
which I had known all along was inevitable. Rather than seeing it for
the opportunity it really was, I had gone into a "poor me" mode and as
a result, in reality, had actually wasted a lot of time. Once I simply
accepted it as the burden I had been given to bear and hunkered down and
got on with it, the change in my life was miraculous. Once again, my life
had direction and harmony. More direction and harmony than ever before.
This orders of magnitude improvement has occurred on at least two other
occasions of a similar nature, but far and away the single greatest occurred
January 25, 1999 with the start of the hunger-strike.
Without question, the single greatest fear I have had, to the point
of being virtually the only true fear, is that I would not be up to the
task. Many times I have felt I'm just not up to this or that at this point
in time. This resulted in a huge guilt trip when the economy of the country
went into the toilet a decade or so ago. It looked like those "this's and
that's" which I hadn't been ready for had squandered the only time when
what needed to be done could be done. We are strong again. We have a second
chance. Actually, more correctly, I have a second chance. You have your
first chance. I shall be eternally grateful for that second chance. You
may not want to squander your first chance.

DIGIT
It is now approximately 11:55 p.m. EST on Tuesday, May 4th. This
is the first opportunity I have had to post a Daily Message since posting
the Sunday message.
To say things have been hectic is an understatement.
And to think I came within a hair's breadth on each of Saturday
and Sunday of announcing that the message activity would expand to two
messages per day!
With that prologue, today's message shall be short and to the point:
1. Today was the first triple digit day, the uno 100th. day of
the hunger strike.
2. And they shall pay for that! Dearly!!

MAY 5, 1999 HUNGER STRIKE DAY 101/94; RACE
AGAINST TIME
Response to the signage and handout activity has been vastly more
successful than I had ever imagined it would be, and I believe it is a
100% certainty it could ultimately be successful. For this effort to
be successful, the response must reach a critical mass.
It is a race against time.
However, I have never wanted, nor do I now want, this to be an emotionally
driven issue.
I do want it to be a reason driven issue.
There is a difference between appealing to emotion, and noting the
urgency of a matter.
The poor do not have access to government.
The politically incorrect do not have access to government.
The elite have access to government. We know elitism is fascism.
We also know relief has been wrongfully withheld in the instant
matter for more than twenty years and that continued denial of relief shall
certainly kill the victim. The hunger strike merely accelerates that
which is otherwise inevitable.
This is a race against time.
There is a difference between appealing to emotion, and noting the
urgency of a matter.
Your voice is needed loud, often, and immediately.
Remember the save a penny the first day, and then double the amount
each day thereafter forumula? Calling/writing/emailing/faxing daily yourself
and recruiting two others to do the same would guarantee a critical mass,
wouldn't it.
This is a race against time.
There is a difference between appealing to emotion, and noting the
urgency of a matter.

MAY 8, 1999 HUNGER STRIKE DAY 104/97; PRINCIPLE
NOTE: A CAVEAT HAS BEEN ADDED TO YESTERDAY'S REWARD
One of the more common questions asked is "Why don't I just go
see a pshcyiatrist, and give "them" the one thing required for reinstatement?"
(... provide substantial evidence ... overcome ... psychiatic problems),
even though the court had expressly stated it was not qualified "to arrive
at a diagnosis or prognosis", and that there had been no "medical testimony"
- nor was there any other evidence.
It is a curious question, but nonetheless one of the more frequent
ones.
1. As a matter of principle, it should never, ever be done.
a.) The principle that one is innocent
until proven guilty
is as important a principle as there is in this
society;
b.) were I to meekly comply it could even create the
appearance of nefarious collusion, suggesting I desired
to create the illusion of having an excuse for some
greater wrong;
c.) we all have a duty to make personal sacrifices to
preserve uncorrupted that which is sacred, that which
is cardinal, and conversely to vigorously attack that
which corrupts the sacred and cardinal, to expose and
destroy flagrant, constitutionally contemptous abuses
of power; and,
d.) to do so would be an act of cowardice.
|
2. It is an impossibility. The "one thing" is
so generically and thus vaguely stated that as a practical matter, the
BEST CASE scenario is that even by spending a small fortune, there would
be no reasonable assurance whatsoever of resolving the problem. What is
the problem? Specifying the problem with specificity is the court's responsibility.
3. It would be stupid for me to do that which I would NOT advise
a client to do. Think about it. The court's decision is based ENTIRELY
on a subjective judgment. They insist on a subjective judgment from the
medical community. And, if they receive the medical community subjective
judgment, the court would in turn again make their own subjective judgment.
There have been quite enough subjective judgments, sil vou plait.
The court is as elitist as it gets. Is not this issue an icon measure
of the degree of judicial elitism!
The medical community is as elitist as it gets. When the facts
are presented to you, I am sure you shall agree that this issue is also
an icon measure of the degree of medical elitism!

MAY 9, 1999 HUNGER STRIKE DAY 105/98; ELITISM
It is time to develop more fully the meaning of elitism.
From the context within which it has been used, it clearly does
not mean wealth per se, although many wealthy persons are in fact included
in the particular class of elitism as we mean it.
We use elitism in a political sense and in the sense of being arbitrarily
privileged, a privilege based on other than merit. The acquisition of
wealth can be based on merit; historically, it frequently has not, ala
the term robber barons.
The privilege we have referred to almost exclusively is that of
"ACCESS" to government, and our complaint is really not that they have
access, but rather that in reality they have it exclusively.
While virtually all wealthy people have access to government, not
all avail themselves of that access; others use their access judiciously
and charitably.
Elitism does not mean wealth per se in another sense. It includes
classes which include many, even a majority, who very decidedly are not
wealthy. Special interest groups they are called. They enjoy their arbitrary
privileges because ELECTED politicians act not on the merit of matters,
but rather on that which ensures their political survival.
We are technically a "Constitutional Democratic Republic". Many
think of democracy as majority rule government, admittedly vastly superior
to our standard of comparison syphilitic tyrant king, but not at all what
our forefathers envisioned. Theoretically, it is vastly better than majority
rule because in theory even minorities are equal and receive justice for
all.
Until recently, historically, minorities have been minorities.
Now, however, they are very significantly arbitrarily privileged because
of their significance to the political survival of the elective process
political system. Obviously, this Message is not designed to generate
maximum political support, perhaps an unwise thing to do at this point
in this activity, but to do otherwise would risk compromising the activity,
the greater of the two evils.

MAY 10, 1999 HUNGER STRIKE DAY 106/99; REASON
Did I not say I wanted this issue to be reason driven?
The last two paragraphs of yesterday's Daily Message,* the Sunday
June 9th message, make the assertion that special interest groups inherently
are arbitrarily privileged because of the need for survival of the political
system.
It was specifically acknowledged that it was "politically unwise"
to make those statements.
Political experts would tell you that the result of the above statements,
without more, is to compound the original error. There shall be nothing
further on that subject today.
Today, another subject shall be started and left unfinished.
The scientific method is a universally accepted problem solving
methodology.
A key step in the method is definition of the problem. One can
even argue that once the problem is truly defined, the problem is, in essence,
solved.
That's all for today.
Did I not say I wanted this issue to be reason driven?

WHEREAS you have conspired to variously unlawfully suspend me from
the practices of general law in the state of minnesota and patent law
throughout the United States of America and to withhold the services of
your offices in order to maintain that unlawful suspension in full force

WHEREAS the basic fundamental premise of the unlawful suspension
is a fictitious, fabricated and concocted designer illness both peculiarly
amenable to depriving me of the essential elements of life and otherwise
totally inappropriate which has been operating to continually and constantly
erode my life forces for not less than twenty years;
WHEREAS there has been a significant decline of my health over
approximately the last ten years which has prompted me to contact various
ones of you on numerous occasions to seek redress of my grievances which
were specifically described in many of those instances as life-threatening
conditions;
WHEREAS you have uniformly displayed, at a minimum, a cold, heartless,
and reckless disregard for my life manifested by non feasance and malfeasance
including overt attempts on my life; and,
WHEREAS you have uniformly displayed an indifference of, and contemptuous
disregard for, the Constitution of the United States of America;
NOW, THEREFORE: it is self evident that a state of anarchy exists
in the United States of America and by the inherent power vested in each
and every citizen of the United States incident to exercising that most
fundamental and basic instinctive right of self preservation, you and each

murder.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, if before 12:00 midnight Thursday
May 13th., 1999, any one of you offers to provide that which is commonly
referred to as "state's evidence" deemed sufficient to conclusively implicate
at least two persons in the aforesaid conspiracy, including individuals
not specifically named or referred to above, I shall agree to request
immunity for you from the appropriate prosecuting authority.
This is my best and last offer for immunity.

MAY 12, 1999 HUNGER STRIKE DAY 108/101; FRATRICIDE
FRATRICIDE: one that murders or kills his own brother or sister
Is not a society in which the bureaucracy murders or kills its
own citizens a fratricidal society? And the evidence is overwhelming
that the peculiarly unlawful suspension of the PonyTail is inconsistent
with any legitimate legal purpose but highly effective as an agent for
depriving the PonyTail of all means of securing that essential for survival.
Fratricidally so. We are not talking abstract theory, are we!
But members of the society not engaged in controversial, confrontational
activities don't have to worry, do they. The bureaucracy uses "smart
bomb", surgical attacks so only those who "deserve" to be killed are at
risk, don't they.
Naive you are if you think that.
Without reservation, qualification, or condition, the bureaucracy
put virtually all citizens at risk in this very case, the PonyTail case.
To illustrate, simply note that the plain unvarnished facts of
this case are that the PonyTail is the victim and the bureaucrats are
the perpetrators, the PonyTail the good guy, and the bureaucrats the
bad guys. They sought to reverse that. In doing so, they made it unequivocally
clear that they don't give a damn about the rest of you. The only thing
they care about is their own selfish agenda.
How have they tried to switch the PonyTail from being the good guy
to the bad guy? By trying to provoke him to violence. Without reservation,
qualification or condition, they have tried to provoke the PonyTail to
violence. As God is my witness, and as one who may shortly meet his maker,
I swear they have tried to provoke me to violence. There have been countless
incidents of provocation. Patterns of provocation which evince a plan
to exploit moments of greatest vulnerability. The second I resorted to
violence, the PonyTail issue would cease to exist, the only issue would
be the violence issue. But at what price to whom?
It is virtually impossible for me to wreak violence upon the perpetrators.
As God is my witness, and as one ...
More fratricidal than you thought, isn't it!

FACTS
The first 103 days of the hunger strike resulted in a 40 pound weight
loss, 24% of the original bodyweight (164 pounds) on January 25th., the
start of the hunger strike.
Each pound of loss is equal to three thousand five hundred (3500)
calories, or a total caloric shortfall of 40 X 3500 = 140,000 calories
less than that required to exactly maintain the original bodyweight. Over
a period of 103 days that is a one thousand three hundred fifty nine (1359)
calorie/day shortfall, roughly a 1400 calorie/day shortfall.

MAY 14, 1999 HUNGER STRIKE DAY 110/103; PRIORITIES
Increasingly management of time, energy and resources becomes more
critical. Stated another way, prioritization is increasingly critical.
Today's Daily Message sets forth the four things which I believe
would most likely bring the hunger strike to a favorable conclusion.
It is from a message posted for someone who expressed a desire to help.
The four things which I believe are most likely to provide immediate
relief are:
1) the simple four word
declaratory sentence: 'The suspension is unlawful.'
from an authoritative legal source such as a well credentialled law professor
or a highly credentialled Sr partner of a law firm;
2) convincing Secretary of Treasury Rubin he has
some unfinished "old business" which should be cleared up before he leaves
office;
3) convincing Deputy Secretary of Treasury Lawrence
Summers that Secretary of Treasury Rubin has some unfinished "old business"
which should be cleared up before he leaves office; and,
4) getting the issue literally in the hands of
minnesota governor Jessee Ventura.
|
This is not to say your support and assistance of
any kind will not be welcome, nor that you might have means to secure
immediate relief superior to these four.

MASS
Does not this issue directly attack two political myths of this society:
1) that our elected officials are
"public servants"; (deal with them directly on an issue which is not "politically
correct" (PC for our international readership), and they certainly give
a very good impression of being ruling royalty; and,
2) that our elected officials are willing to deliver,
other than selectively for propaganda purposes, anything close to the
ideals used to urge our armed forces to put their lives on the line and,
indeed, used to urge our law enforcement personnel to put their lives
on the line on an every day basis.
|
Does this issue seek utopia or something more like
the bare minimum to which any citizen is entitled, even an "politically
incorrect" (PI) citizen? (Also PO citizen!)
Remember, the basis for the suspension was actually withdrawn from
issue. And, does not the self-contradictory, within the space of a few
sentences, yea verily and forsooth, even within the zero space of two consecutive
sentences, "unlawful on its face" so-called opinion smack more of disdainful
taunting elitist than a scrupulous, attention to detail, faithful servant.
And, that act has been "endorsed" by how many? And, for how long?
Would not driving the response to this issue to "critical mass"
send a message to our truculent bureaucrats, both elected and career, would
it not send them a message which this society dearly needs them to receive?

When the life of even one citizen has been put on the line in pursuit
of "freedom", i.e. democracy in the larger sense of that word, has it not
been traditional for other citizens to make some other form of appropriate

IMPORTANT
Well folks, another big weekend!
And, the Daily Message Que is overflowing. One day last week produced
6 notes on the back of the layout proofs for the sign. Sunday was one
of those days when I could hardly get through my shower without interrupting
the chain of thoughts for a Daily Message, and two were outlined and added
to the que before leaving for the mall.
So, which one gets the nod for today's Daily Message?
None of those. After I got to the site on Sunday, it seemed as
though I was just swarmed with people willing to engage in meaningful exchanges,
I had one during the basic process of setup, and a second while dotting
the i's and crossing the t's of setup. Not much more than an hour into
the activity, an exchange with two "international" men revealed they were
Portuguese. An exchange earlier in the week with another international personage
had suggested my view of fascism, the USA view was not necessarily the international
view, that some in the international community, and indeed significant
numbers in the case of Spain specifically (but the person relating this
was not from Spain), feel fascism, although flawed, is less flawed than
the democratic process. In response to my question, the men acknowledged
Portugal was once fascist and I am quite sure they understood the question
was not in any way accusative but rather from a perspective of my trying
to elicit the international view of fascism. One of the Portuguese men
felt quite strongly that fascism was evil, and that the people of Spain
also felt that way contrary to what I had been told earlier in the week.
So much for trying to resolve the issue of the international view
of fascism.
I do want to state for the benefit of the international recipients
of the Daily Message the American View, but first the context:
During WWII, approximately 671,000 American
servicemen were wounded and 292,000 were killed.
|
Our population of course was much smaller then than
today, and compared to any other conflict we had previously been engaged
in those numbers were huge numbers. Our society felt it had suffered
grievously and sustained a monumental loss to put an end to fascism once
and for all.
We almost to a person felt they were suffered and given as a final
resolution of the fascism issue, that fascism was indeed very evil.
You all no doubt will immediately empathize with my shock and dismay
upon accepting the reality that we ourselves had an not insignificant
element of fascism in our own society.
And, you will similarly understand the not inconsiderable element
of denial which makes it so difficult for Americans who have not experienced
what I have experienced to accept that such a degree of fascism does
exist in our society.
This topic was selected because it is so hugely important. I full
well know it may slow the momentum of resolving the unlawful suspension
issue. It has been one of those scenarious with a little nagging voice
saying, don't do it, don't do it, and another saying there is no choice
in the matter you have to do it. The late distribution is not because
it wasn't ready earlier in the day. The basic piece was finished at
about 1:15 a.m. this morning. Another hour of editing was done at about
7:30 this morning. It was put aside til now, about 7:00 p.m. to make absolutely
sure I could always be comfortable with my decision. I know I shall.
Americans, we can not take the chance that WWII will ever become
a fuss between their fasci sts and our fascists. This is the least we
owe to those who gave that last full measure, and those put in harms
way regardless of whether they are included in the numbers quoted above.
It would be profane beyond expression to let that happen.
One last time, once and for all:
It is equally apparent that he suffers from
severe emotional instability which seriously impairs his professional
judgment. Without the benefit of competent medical testimony neither the
referee nor this court is qualified to arrive at a diagnosis or prognosis
concerning the respondent's [PonyTails's] mental health. ... suspended
... petition for reinstatement ... entertained ... provide substantial
evidence ... overcome ... psychiatric problems.
|
That bunch of gibberish has absolutely nothing to
do with the law.
It has everything to do with saying the PonyTail is not a member
of the club.
It is the epitome of elitism.
We know elitism, as we have defined it in earlier Daily Messages,
is fascism.
That elitism must be repudiated. Unequivocally repudiated.
Remember from the previous Saturday Daily Message, "And, that act
has been 'endorsed' by how many? And, for how long?" It is not an isolated
aberration. Remember that the suspensions occurred in 1978 and 1979.
Another facet of the exchange with the two Portuguese men was a
sense that my shock and dismay at finding elements of fascism existed in
our society gave them a significant degree of relief, as it similarly has
quite a few other international persons. They seem to react as though it
symbolizes American's coming down off their high horse (American slang meaning
much the same as being "holier than thou", which I trust has international
meaning, meaning basically sanctimonious). Another way to express it is
a sense that they have felt stigmatized as being from a country which had
embraced fascism, a people which were a total aberration. They seemed to
feel its existence in the USA proved it was a seductive siren to which all
people were vulnerable, even those in a nation which unabashedly, and to
them it would seem, ad nauseam, represents itself as the nation of equal
rights and justice for all, the nation within which democracy imperviously
reigns supreme.
It seems imperative to expressly state that this is in no way a
qualification of the earlier statement about what Americans thought we
were fighting for in WWII. The final resolution of fascism of the collective
mentality stated above is expressly reaffirmed.
The collective white civilian conscious at that time absolutely
did not consider our racism even remotely associated with fascism. This
notwithstanding our armed services were segregated during WWII. The armed
services were not integrated until after WWII, by Harry S. Truman.
I was very young at the time, but these views are not the views
of a person of those tender years. Admittedly, the views were essentially
formed then; the passage of time has consistently reinforced them.
None of the foregoing is to say military personnel were unaware
of the contradictions. My impression is that military personnel almost
universally felt the contradictions were of too low a priority to be given
consideration during the war. It was that basic, fundamental survival
thing. After the war, for the most part they just got lost in the shuffle.
The apparent contradictions, and it just struck me that they are
actually not so greatly different from the contradictions of the unlawful
suspensions. Those apparent contradictions of the collective being are
the same as those of the individual who has not refined his personal philosophy.
As such, they are not wilful contradictions but rather those of human
imperfection.
It is this distinction which those of the international community
seem to want us to acknowledge.
I believe we owe them that much.
This is not to in anyway diminish our unqualified repudiation of
the horrors of WWII fascism.
It is to expressly recognize what happens when the individual conscience
passively submits to the collective mind. It is an attempt to sensitive
the citizenry of this country to how fragile our rights and freedoms are.
My area of expertise is not that of "the collective mind", but I understand
it is of the genre of gang and mob behavior.
Is it not exactly and precisely what the sentiments expressed by
Thomas Jefferson of yesterday's Daily Message warned us to guard against?
Thomas Jefferson's admonition of a need for "eternal vigilance" certainly
was not overstated.
The unlawful suspensions are wilful and malicious. Is this not
exactly and precisely why the unlawful suspensions have to be repudiated?
Unequivocally repudiated!
Americans, those of you who feel real pain to discover this society
now harbors and nurtures the very evil it sacrificed so much to eradicate,
I grieve with you.
To those americans who foster and create this evil for their own
selfish interests, I would condemn you to hell for all eternity!!!

Generally, the definition of fascism as elitism is at least well
if not very well received.
It is an effective mechanism for communicating that "they" are not
what they are supposed to be.
It is an effective mechanism for communicating that "they" bring
dishonor to this society.
It is an effective mechanism for communicating that "they" betray

A very meaningful exchange with a WWII veteran at the 20th and
Constitution site last week inspired this Daily Message. He saw Communists
as the likely bad guys; there can be no doubt about my views re the threat
of fascists.
Our conversation encompassed vastly more than that issue, but later
as I thought about it, my mind focused on how our conversation had explored
what they are much more than what they are not. I realized that while
we differed as to what they are, and although we spent little time actually
talking about it, we were in total agreement as to what they were not.
They are not those who bring honor and respect to this society.

Perpetrators, collaborators and facilitators (PCFs) take heed.
The lead story last night on virtually every news broadcast was
the death of the Florida woman who won court approval to discontinue her
life support system after having her spinal cord severed by a shot fired
by her mother.
Florida prosecutors reportedly are going to prosecute the mother
for murder.
PCFs, the Florida case is the PonyTail issue without the aggravating
circumstances of the perpetrator having an opportunity, and obstinately,
trucculently refusing to mitigate the injury. Indeed PCFs, you have arrogantly
exacerbated rather than mitigated the injury. At this very minute you
could mitigate the injury with a simple, four word declaratory sentence:
"THE SUSPENSIONS ARE UNLAWFUL."
On Sunday at the 20th and Constitution site, a person argued that
if I died, "they would win". My response: if I die, for the rest of their
lives they shall be only one honest person away from serving hard time
for murder one, the charge shall simply go from conspiracy to commit murder
to murder one.

Another tragedy.
There is too little information about the most recent for one to
be able to comment intelligently about it other than to note that there
are still far too many experts who fail to address the CAUSE of the problem.
Do not all of these tragedies include the following three causal
factors:
a) alienation;
b) ready access to means for large scale violence; and,
c) lack of a deterrent for using violence?
|
My personal feeling is that the genie is out of
the bottle re the access issue. We are a gun society, and shall remain
one for quite some time it would seem. This is not taking sides on this
issue, but merely a comment on how to most productively spend our time,
energy, and resources in combatting this problem.
Is it therefore not more likely that the solution to this problem
lies in correcting the alienation and lack of a deterrent issues? Let's
examine the latter briefly.
Why is it our youth almost casually turn to violence as a solution
for their problems?
Are the problems of our youth today actually that much greater than
were our problems during that phase of our lives?
What deterred us from using violence in virtually the same exact
scenarios?
Does this not eventually get down to the value system of the society?
And, are not we adults the ones responsible for the value system
as it exists today?

SENSE
Our May 21st Daily Message offered for your consideration three specific
causal factors (alienation, ready access to means for large scale violence,
and lack of a deterrent for using violence) for the series of school-centric
tragedies which this society has experienced over the last few years
and posed the question of whether the true causal factor was not the value
system of this society, a value system produced by the adults of the society.
It had been my intention to complete and distribute this Saturday
evening as the Sunday Daily Message to make it as much an ecumenical message
as possible but yesterday was sort of a reverse two-fer* and I was too exhausted
last night to do that. It is done in that spirit today.
Again, this is not my area of specialty but I would like to offer
a few thoughts in essentially laymen's terms which the experts can then
either refute or translate into more precise terms as the case may be.
This is another of those "too important not to" matters.
Concerning the first causal factor, much of the emphasis has been
put on the alienation between the various factions; for example, the jocks
and those who were especially religious.
Isn't the more significant alienation an alienation from the society
per se?
And similarly, lack of deterrent does not mean lack of metal detectors,
nor lack of monitors, etc., etc., but rather deterrent in the larger sense
of moral restraint.
Does not this lack of restraint also evince an alienation from the
society per se?
Again, let us let this thought process mature for awile.
* for the International readership, slang derived from the loss-leader
marketing practice of offering two items for the price of one; two-fer
thus means anything which has a double benefit; and a reverse two-fer
- yesterday I had a double agenda.

MAY 25, 1999 HUNGER STRIKE DAY 121/114; ALIENATION
The Sunday Daily message made the case that the third causal factor,
lack of deterrence, was in fact a species of alienation.
It also took the position that in placing the blame, we adults need
look no further than ourselves, we are the ones responsible for the value
system of this society.
I thought that an early Daily Message had included a reference to
a discourse on juvenile delinquency which occurred in the 70's but a search
of the database for "juvenile" came up empty handed.
In any event, as a breakfast club program chairman circa the 70's,
I scheduled a PhD (I believe her first name was Gisella and I can not
for the life of me remember her last name) who was at least locally (minnesota)
recognized as an authority on juvenile delinquency. In our discussions
she had confirmed that a major causal factor of juvenile delinquency was
the dual standard of adults, the say one thing, but do another hypocrisy
of adults.
We have no further to look than ourselves for the problem.
And, forget the grandiose solutions.
Look no further than the Mission Statement of the PonyTail Institue
for Change:
Predicated on the premise that at its most
fundamental level it is the individual, the I's, me's of this world, that
are the root cause of many, if not most, of the problems of this planet,
and that simplicity is the essence of perfection, the Institute seeks to
effect change at the unit level, the individual, through increasing the
sensitivity of the individual to the fundamental causes of problems and
providing support necessary for the individual to grow and thereby reduce
that individual's contribution to the problem. It is the one thing each
and every individual can do. Cumulatively ... |
The foregoing sentiments apply equally well to
the bureaucracy. The PonyTail issue is a textbook example of the bureaucratic
et. al. manifestations of the problem. In each and every instance, it
has never been whether they lied and cheated, in each and every instance
the issue has always been how they lied and cheated.
Alienation, indeed.
And well justified.

We started out as loyal subjects of the King, but after awhile
we said enough of this already; threw a few crates of tea into the harbor;
killed a few of them; got a few of ours killed; got a few mercenaries killed;
got ourselves polarized, irreconcilably polarized in not a few instances
I understand; got a few other countries who weren't all that hot about
the King on our side; and, got ourselves a brand spanking new Constitution.
Made quite a fuss over that Constitution. Had one fellow say give
me liberty or give me death. Have never heard anyone suggest he was saying
anything other than the literal truth when he said it. Believe another
fellow involved in the early stages of that Consitutional process thing say
after they'd all literally signed on the dotted line to get rid of the King
that they'd all better hang together, or they'd surely all hang alone.
Pretty serious business it would seem.
Did anyone else pick up on the recent current administration mantra
of "we must all hang together"? With all their media experience and skills
it seemed inapprpriate for the particular context within which the multiple
source, simultaneous utterances were made. Somehow or other I associated
it more with the "solid blue line" phenomena. When all the subtleties of
the context within which the multiple source, simultaneous utterances were
factored in, it definitely seemed like a calculated appeal to fear.
Was not the former use of the phrase more an appeal to reason than
an appeal to fear? Was it not made to emphasize the strength of their
convictions?
Subtle, but real distinctions!
And I have said numerous times I did not want the PonyTail Issue
to be emotionally driven, but rather reason driven.
Is there not a difference between the emotions of fear and greed
and a passion for liberty, due process, justice for all, basically a passion
for our Constitutional rights? Is not this passion based on the reason
that so many have put their lives on the line for the strength of their
convictions.
Subtle, but real distinctions and yet at the same time so vastly
different we readily recognize them as differences in kind rather than
differences in degree.

On Monday, one exchange in particular seemed as though it were
backsliding, it dwelt for some time on an issue which hadn't been raised
in a long time.
Of course, every individual totally unaware of the issue is no different
from the very first individual with whom I discussed the matter, but for
some reason or other the "VOID" issue had not come up in a very long time,
and the individual on Monday was persistent about pursuing the matter.
Whether the individual was in denial or was "one of them" desperately
looking for some basis for justifying stonewalling by the attorney general
I do not know.
I do know that void simply did not mean void to the individual.
The so-called decision which purports to suspend me from the practice
of law is void. The so-called decision is unlawful "on its face".
Webster defines void as: "of no legal force or effect".
The concluding paragraph of a paper titled "VOID JUDICIAL DECISIONS"
which I have routinely distributed to legal types, including the attorney
general, follows:
A decision invalid on its face is void,
a nullity, and is open to attack or impeachment in any proceeding, direct
or collateral, Riley, supra at 366, Carpenter v Carpenter, 93 SE2nd 617,
622, 244 NC 286, and at any time, Carpenter, supra. at 622, Simonds v Norwich,
(C.C.A. 8) 73 F2d 412, 415. Indeed, a tribunal is precluded from recognizing
a void order of a state court as valid, In re Noell, supra. at 6, Selling
v Radford, 37 S Ct 377, 379, 243 US 46, 51. |
Of course the names of all cases are underlined
in the original and the cites for Riley and Noell are "Riley v Pearson,
139 NW 361, 366, 120 Minn 210" and "In re Noell, 93 F2d 5, 6". The entire

Do you not agree that if someone responsible for the impeachment
process: a) was aware of the possible existence of such conduct; and,
b) failed to ascertain whether or not it in fact existed, that such party
joined in the behavior and thereby created a conspiracy to subvert the
Constitution?
Do you not agree that if significant numbers of the general population

Do you not agree that if the foregoing is true, that any such society

A few days ago the Daily Message included the statement:
Forgive me if from my perspective it seems
that it the Constitution] does not seem at this point in time to be taken
with the same degree of gravity [as when it was created, if it seems as]
if the society doesn't have the same degree of passion for it. |
Species homo sapien really does seem prone to learn
things the hard way.
My parents experienced the stock market crash of '29, the great depression
which followed the crash, and the horrendous drought, known as the dirty
thirties, which was part of that same time frame. We children seemed immensely
ungrateful at times to them and their friends who had endured the same hardships,
and I particularly recall an especially close friend of the family once
remarking "what this country really needs is another depression".
Species homo sapien really does seem prone to learn things the hard
way.
Those of my generation experienced WWII during the formative years
of our lives. Literally our first memories included the sacrifices incident
to the war, the rationing stamp books, collecting tin foil from gum wrappers,
and the silk from milk weed plants are still vivid memories for me. Virtually
all of us have memories of loved ones killed or wounded during that conflict.
All of us knew many who served in that conflict, and know how passionately
they felt about what they thought they had been fighting against and
for, a passion not unlike that of those who laid their lives on the line
for the Constitution.
I can not bring myself to say that what this country really needs
..., but species homo sapien really does seem prone to learn things the
hard way.
It seems 100% of us have difficulty understanding something we have
not experienced ourselves.
Worse still is how we apparently can forget something about which
we once felt so passionately.

It also listed many of the attempts I have made to contact governor
Ventura.
Last night I went to the CNN building in Washington, DC.
When governor Ventura arrived I handed him a folded set of a modified

and asked him if we would be able to talk later when he came back from
his appearance on the program.
Governor Ventura responded: "I'm not sure."
I said I would wait.
About two hours later, two members of his entourage came out of
the CNN building and approached me. Initially they were a little uptight,
but after I assured them my only objective was to open a line of communication
for resolving the issue, we had a cordial conversation. Apparently they
had made copies of the material I had handed governor Ventura, because one
had a copy in his hands and they assured me that the Director of Communications
for governor Ventura, John Woodley, also had a copy. They also gave me
additional information for contacting the governor, and assured me I would
be sent a formal response within three days of their return to minnesota.
This does not mean absolutely that the unlawfulness of the suspension
shall be acknowledged and redress obtained. It is only the first step.
It does not mean we can relax. Note the use of the lower case yes

The more I thought about a few sentence long conversation with a tourist
as I left the metro Sunday morning on the way to the 20th & Constitution

The conversation with the tourist included a passing comment about
rapport between the Veterans and myself the preceding weekend to which
the tourist responded something to the effect that the Veterans had been
"sufficiently RADICALIZED" ...
My antennae immediately went up. That is exactly and precisely
the term of choice which pro fascist spin doctors would use.
This is not to say that the individual was pro fascist. We all
are much looser, imprecise in our verbal speech than our written words,
and it would greatly surprise me were even experienced writers to deny that
from time to time they regret having used a particular word.
I don't think anyone other than the pro fascist crowd would say
the Vietnam Verterans were RADICALS, had been RADICALIZED. Well, then,
what is the proper term to describe them.
I vote for betrayed.
Just as they feel the POW's and MIA's have been betrayed, I believe
their anger and frustration manifest a feeling that all who served in Vietnam
have been betrayed.
They resonated with my issue not because they had been radicalized,
but because they had been sufficiently sensitized to the betrayal phenomena
that when an instance of betrayal of a citizen was presented to them
they could respond appropriately to it.
This is the phenomena which is the essence of the PonyTail Institute
for Change Mission Statement which is the preface of the pi4c Websites.
Another aspect of this matter is that there were a few exceptions.
No Veteran, however, voiced a negative response. These exceptions were
basically the absence of the response referred to above. I believe I understand
what they were feeling. They were the same feelings I have had many,
many times over the course of my 20 plus years of the PonyTail issue ordeal.
My reading of those not responding was that their anger and frustration
was still so active that it prevented them from responding.
I would like to share with this latter group what seems to me to
be my similar experiences and unequivocally apologize to them if I did
in fact anger or frustrate them.
The apparently similar anger and frustration which I experienced
on many, many occasions was when individuals justified non action, non
involvement on their part in resolving the PonyTail issue because what
had happened to me happens to everyone and no one else was complaining
so I didn't have any right to complain, either.
Right, sure, obviously, everyone knows that every U.S. citizen
has been unlawfully denied the right to practice law, or if not that
specifically, the right to engage in whatever their chosen profession
or occupation might happen to be. (This is inevitably done with an dismissive
air of superiority.)
If that was your perception of my message, that I was saying look,
see this happens to the civilians, too, so you don't really have any right
to complain, I'm sorry that I wasn't "sensitive" enough to perceive that
and immediately communicate to you the true message.
The true message was that I was ratifying your complaint.
Your pain was not for naught. Thank you for sensitizing me.

JUNE 8, 1999 HUNGER STRIKE DAY 135/128; STATUS
Saturday was by far the most confrontational, combative day of
the signage/handout activity.
Sunday was probably the best "normal" Sunday of the activity.
Sunday included at least three exceptionally meaningful exchanges.
Discretion being the better part of valor, I can comment about only
one at this time.
Four visitors from another country stopped at the sign and immediately
began talking among themselves. I asked if they would like me to briefly
explain the matter to them. We had difficulty communicating, so I assumed
they wanted me to rather than lose an opportunity. Because of the communication
difficulty, I tried to explain it in the simplest terms possible. Normally
I explain the "stonewalling" issue by saying they "refused to disposition"
the matter. For them, I said "they wouldn't say yes, they wouldn't say
no, they just wouldn't say anything". The most verbal of the four slowly,
deliberately, and in measured words said "you have four yes's from _______"
(the name of their country).
As he was saying that, I was talking to one of the others about
the websites listed on the handouts, and the verbal one responded to this
excitedly. His words rushed out: "you have, you have, you have 60 million
yes's from _____", and we both just threw back our heads and roared with
laughter, as did the others. There were hand shakes all around and they
continued to the wall.
These spontaneous moments are literally life sustaining. Thank
you all.

JUNE 9, 1999 HUNGER STRIKE DAY 136/129; UNFORTUNATELY
We have spoke frequently of fascism.
In every instance, I believe, the context of U.S. fascism has been
elitism, exclusively financial and political power elitism.
Nazi fascism references have referred to the implicit social elitism
of euthanasia.
To digress for the purpose of providing some context. Many of
you are aware that the Daily Message is posted on a dozen plus Switchboard.com
Town Message Boards. When I post the messages, I scan the board for responses
to earlier Daily Messages. Some inexperienced posters post original messages
which are actually a response rather than an original message so it is
necessary to check all messages with a title which might relate to a Daily
Message posting. One such posting turned out to in fact be an original posting,
but it did get me pretty lathered up.
For a long time, a certain element of this society has viciously
attacked another less fortunate element of the society. Specifically,
the haves have pummeled the crap out of that group of have-nots characterized
as the welfare crowd.
Yes there have been many who have abused welfare. I join in the
denunciation of that segment.
On the other hand, I have never, ever, heard the welfare bashing
haves so much as acknowledge that a significant part of the welfare problem
may be purely a circumstance of birth.
Admitting that might be an admission that a significant part of
the status of being a have may also be purely a circumstance of birth,
mighten it.
End of digression.
Is not the progression of our welfare system taking us down the
same exact path as that of the Nazi path which led to the euthanasia of
those deemed so unproductive they were a burden to the society?

From the Declaration of Independence, following a list of 19 grievances

In every stage of these Oppressions We have
Petitioned for redress in the most humble terms. Our repeated Petitions

JUNE 19, 1999 HUNGER STRIKE DAY 146/139; REDRESS
REVISITED
Yesterday's Daily Message set forth the context within which the
founding fathers used the phrase "petition the Government for a redress
of grievances" when that phrase was included in the First Amendment: The
Declaration of Independence. The Declaration specifically refers to petitions
for redress by the colonists to King George III for a list of 19 grievances.
How important did the founding fathers consider the right to petition
for redress of grievances?
The right to petition is in the First Amendment. Uno numero number
one. The other rights in the First Amendment are:
- religion;
- speech;
- press;
- peaceably assemble; and,
- petition for redress of grievances.
|
Pretty impressive company that the right to petition
for redress of grievances hangs out with.
Pretty shabby treatment that our courts (judicial branch); presidents
(executive branch); house and senate (legislative branch); and, the media
(5th estate) accord to at least certain petitions for redress of grievances.
If it isn't consistent with the fascist agenda it doesn't happen.
(Reference the definition of fascism first introduced in the February
1st. Daily Message and repeated in the February 26th. and April 1st. Daily
Messages and the at length discussion of defacto fascism in the April 12th.

Saturday was another of those days which produced a number of
"spontaneous" Daily Message subjects. The number of messages in the que
is growing and thus several shall be included as a collage in a single
message.
GOOD CITIZENSHIP AWARD: the mature couple I encountered as I rushed
to the bus stop Saturday morning, 6/19. They apparently were just out
for a morning walk. Thoughtfully, they had taken a plastic bag and a
small wooden rod with a metal point with them. One would spear a piece
of trash while the other held the plastic bag open to receive the offending
object in a cooperative ballet of landscape cleansing. Only I and maybe
a few others know how indebted we are to this couple for their thoughtful,
and humble act. My failure to get their names was excusable as I had no
time to spare if I was to catch the next bus. The bus ran a minute or so
early. My failure to get their names when they stopped to examine the
base portion of my sign as it leaned against the bus stop post 5 or so
minutes later was inexcusable. They do have a set of my literature which
has my contact information. If they read this and contact me I shall include
their names in a subsequent message.
NOMINATION FOR HALL OF SHAME MEMBERSHIP (Reference the March 18th.
Daily Message re the HALL OF SHAME.): the individuals who so thoughtlessly
and inconsiderately discarded the trash the good citizens above picked
up. Perhaps the greatest sin of their crude and boorish act is the waste
of the energy and time of the good citizens above, time and energy which
people of their character, integrity, and creativity would otherwise most
likely be put to even better use. The difference is spending time and
energy undoing a negative act instead of expending it on a positive act.
ANSWER: Saturday 6/19, a tour group of youngsters congregated
in the vicinity of the "signage/handout" set-up area. Two approached
me and asked me a few questions, and we had a few minutes of meaningful
conversation. Eventually 6 or 7 surrounded me and the sign, virtually
pinned me against the sign, and peppered me with questions. It was stimulating.
It was also chaotic. One question in particular needed to be, but was
not, answered when they had to dash off to catch their bus. One asked
me "So, you are an enemy of the state?" The answer, in three parts: No!
I AM an enemy of the fascists. I am a patriot.
Of course, if the state is a fascist state ...

Occasionally a Daily Message is addressee specific, usually to
one or more of the truculent bureaucrats who should have already given
me relief, but has not.
First and foremost, this message in no way is meant to point a finger
of blame. Please reserve judgment until after you have read the entire
message. Indeed, if necessary, until after you have read the entire message,
set it aside until your passions have subsided, and then re-read it.
Is not the army in Kosovo totally inadequate?
Is not what is needed in Kosovo an army of mental health care experts?
Is not the enemy in Kosovo the payback mentality?
This part of my plea is to the mental health community (MHC).
To the extent you can, each and everyone of you, drop what you are doing
and devote your efforts to organizing an army of mental health care experts
for fighting the payback mentality in Kosovo.
Today's message is directed to every person who has occasion to
read this who is not a member of the MHC. Please call this message to
the attention of a member of the MHC. The number one priority on my agenda
for Monday June 28th. shall be to fax this to every mental health care
facility in the community in which I reside, Fairfax, Virginia.
Virtually none of us have experienced the psychic violence which
those on both sides of the Kosovo dispute have endured, and my understanding
is that the dispute is deep seated and goes back at least to WW II. What
I am saying to everyone, in this paragraph, is what I understand to be the
equivalent of the Native American philosophy of not being judgmental about
others, something to the effect of not judging a person "until you have
walked for three days in that person's moccasins".
Revulsion was my reaction to last nights news about the payback events
in Kosovo.
Yes, I believe we should all recoil in horror. I do not believe
we should be judgmental.
I also believe we should attack the cause, rather than the symptom
of the problem. Let's get the people involved who can do that.

Suffice it to say that the que'd messages must get their say
too, even if it is only a cryptic say.
LIFEBLOOD: |
time, energy and resources. They shall be guarded
jealously. |
HUNGER/STARVATION: |
A hunger strike is a caloric intake shortfall. A zero |
|
caloric intake is a fast, a starvation strike. |
DIMINISHED CAPACITY: |
Diminished capacity is an inherent, albeit hopefully |
|
temporary, result of any significant hunger strike. |
LOGIC: |
One's diminished capacity during a hunger strike does not |
|
relate backwards twenty plus years. |
PRIDE: |
1. outing the fascists; and, |
|
2. the sign engineering - folks, that sucker works! |
And, the crown jewel of the que'd messages:
SOLUTION: |
The solution to the fascist element inherent in any |
|
"election selection process" form of democratic |
|
government is to replace elections with a lottery/draft |
|
selection process from a pool of qualified candidates so
large that it can not be compromised. |
Personal Notes:
1. |
The thing that really tickles my funny bone, is the likelihood
that Russia |
|
would become Democratic before the United States. I can not
see ourselves |
|
changing our beloved Constitution that radically in anything
less than 10 |
|
years. All "emerging" democracies, including Russia, can
draft a Constitution |
|
with a lottery/draft selection process in a heartbeat. |
|
|
2. |
Would not the greatest benefit from a lottery/draft selection
process be in the |
|
dregs, the residue left over? Let's say that the pool size
for president is one |
|
thousand (1000). Instead of pouring campaign funds
down a rat hole, |
|
significantly less funds would be used to train candidates
and afterwards we |
|
would have 999 statesmen left over. Over a period of time,
would that not
create a very sophisticated society!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! |
|

And, we would not be insulted by goofy "analysts" telling
us what it meant. |

First I want to thank all who have made their voices heard, and
there are numerous indications that your voices have been heard in a significant
way.
The caloric SHORTFALL is being increased daily (the calorie INTAKE
decreased daily). The daily calorie INTAKE is now significantly less
than 1000 calories per day which means that the daily calorie SHORTFALL
is probably nominally 1500 calories per day, if not in excess of 1500
calories per day.
We are in the gun lap now, and shall be entering the final straightaway
soon so let's all redouble the effort.
Mail links which make it easier to contact the bad guys have been
added to the webpages. It would certainly be appropriate to make a status
inquiry daily - time is of essence, and they cannot be urged to act too
frequently.
My special thanks to those who are forwarding the Daily Message!
I encourage all of you to do so, however, please advise me you are doing
so. There have been three requests for removal from my list by persons
who were not on the list. If you will just let me know that you are forwarding
the DM's, I shall create a PLEASE REMOVE LIST (PRL) of those who are doing
so, and then forward requests from parties not on my list to the PRL.
If this issue is resolved successfully, at a minimum, there shall
be a significant commemorative memorial for all those contributing to the
success.
Also, many of you can reward yourself ala the REWARD first posted
in the May 7th. Daily Message and repeated here, to wit:
A $500,000.00 reward, up to a total
of three such rewards, shall be paid, from proceeds received from a settlement
or damage award paid to me or my estate, for information which results
in a felony conviction of a perpetrator, facilitator or collaborator.

JULY 3, 1999 HUNGER STRIKE DAY 160/153; POSITIVISM
The mission statement of the PonyTail Institute for Change, wordy
as it is, in reality boils down to a single word: positivism.
If one concentrates entirely on improving oneself, 100% on improving
oneself, would not that person be a living embodiment of positivism?
Many before me have had this subject as their theme. To name just
a few, is it not a thread which runs through the most popular book of
all time; and, was it not embraced by Norman Vincent Peale who authored
"The Power of Positive Thinking"?
Is the opposite of positivism, negativism, a cancerous evil which
can not be tolerated?
First, to play the role of a devil's advocate.
Most of us have seen meadows or parklands scorched by fire. For
weeks or even months only a black surface of ash can be seen. When regrowth
starts, the dark green against the black ash is truly beautiful. And,
I understand the ash is not just the background canvas for this beauty,
but also in a sense at least partly the artist of this sensory splendor for
I now understand it is potash, a fertilizer.
Mother nature gets a lot of things right. Is her message that
in destroying, an agent for beautiful and robust creation is made?
One can not deny that some good can come from a negative act.
There is little doubt that in my mind, and we can define it as such,
in "cancerous" forms of negativism, the net effect is a loss rather than
a gain, no matter how beautiful the regrowth.
Would anyone argue that WWII was cancerous negativism?
How many years did WWII set back development of the species homo
sapien on this planet?
What is the delta, the lost increment of development which would
have occurred had the time, energy and resources of WWII been spent in
furtherance of positive goals?
Was the purpose of WWII to grind fascism into potash?
Sadly, we know that fascism is still alive and thriving in its
camoflauge of elitism. (Reference the Daily Messages of April 24th.
and July 1st.)
Is not an unlawful suspension from the practice of law cancerous
negativism per se?
Is not an unlawful suspension from engagement in a person's chosen
lawful occupation, whatever it might happen to be, cancerous negativism
per se?
Was the purpose of the unlawful suspensions to serve as a reminder
of the dangers of fascism?
If so, has not that purpose been served?
Stonewalling!

Celebrate the anniversary of the declaration on the 4th. yes.
Protect and defend the substance of the event at all other times.
Protecting and defending the substance of the event at all other
times is exactly and precisely what this issue is all about.
A new sub-issue shall be formally introduced today and hopefully
developed during the coming week although the development may span more
than a week even given, or because of as the case may be, the cryptic
style of these Daily Messages.
canard: |
a false or unfounded report or story; esp: a fabricated
report; (Webster's 7th.);
duck, the fowl (French); (Webster's 10th.);
a false or baseless, usually derogatory story, report or rumor;
(Random House); and,
a faux legal proceeding; esp: virtually any elective-selection-process
legal proceeding; (PonyTail - dictionary companies take note).
|
I understand American usage developed when someone mistook
the French word for fowl as the word for foul.
foul: offensive to the senses: LOATHSOME
|
My sense is that the contexts within which I have seen canard
used is much like that of a wolf in sheep's clothing, an artifice.
artifice: guile and trickery
|
All that just to be able to use a single word. Sheesh!
As this matter develops, you will see conduct by the truculent bureaucrats
most unbecoming if not, in fact, traitorous.
Canards within canards, nested canards.
False, foul, offensive, LOATHSOME, guile, and trickery.
Would it not be appropriate to consider today what sin or sins are
inherent in a canard?
Indeed what could be more appropriate than to consider today what
sin or sins are inherent in a traitorous canard designed, calculated, and
intended to be an element in a conspiracy to commit murder by:

MEMORIAL
On February 25, 1997 the following was faxed to Speaker of the House
Newt Gingrich and each member of the House of Representatives of the states
of South Dakota, Minnesota, New York, and Virginia, states, in chronological
order, with which I had a nexus.
CITIZEN MEMORIAL
You would, I trust, agree that were a high official to engage
in a systematic, methodical and calculated subversion of the Constitution,
that such conduct would be an impeachable offense.
You no doubt are also aware that Article 1, Section 2, the last
sentence, of the Constitution vests the power of impeachment in the House
of representatives: "shall have the sole Power of Impeachment".
Mr. Tom Wicker of the House Parliamentarian Office advised me that
the proper procedure for a citizen to follow in such an instance was for
the citizen to submit a "Citizen Memorial" to the Speaker of the House
of Representatives.
When the Speaker's office was contacted for the purpose of determining
the proper form of such a memorial, I was advised, somewhat testily I might
add, that "protocol required the matter be submitted through the citizen's
representative", to which I responded that this seemed to be an instance
in which protocol should step aside.
If a citizen has been disenfranchised, the citizen has no representative.
I can produce "disenfranchisement" writings which probably date back
10 to fifteen years ago.
I have exhaustive documentation, and substantial otherwise credible
evidence, of calculated subversion of the Constitution by high officials.
National representatives of States with a nexus to the issue are
copied on this "Citizen Memorial" which is hereby submitted by fax to
Newt Gingrich, Speaker of the House of Representatives, as are certain
principals as a matter of courtesy.

JULY 7, 1999 HUNGER STRIKE DAY 164/157; SPECIAL
PROSECUTOR
The following is a file of my working notes from calls to Special
Prosecutor Ken Starr's Office (202 514 8688) about an attempt to obtain
"authoritative" scrutiny of the "Constitutional Subversion" issue subject
matter, specifically, to submit the matter to special prosecutor Ken
Starr.
I apparently did not make any organized records of my initial call
or calls as the case may be. This file commences after I had been informed
their office would not have "jurisdiction" of any evidence I could provide.
10/23/98 - requested someone call
me re
"jurisdiction"
10/26/98 - repeated request (Maggie - PonyTail
Institute for Change)
10/29/98 - repeated request "have evidence which I
believed was relevant to investigation, have called
several times and was astounded that call had not
been returned"; -- "investigator not available at
this time, what area of our investigation does
evidence relate to? -- advised didn't know how they
had defined the areas of their investigation;
(Monica);
11/02/98 - not Monica, not Maggie; Whitewater,
travelgate, filegate; receptionist; used phrase "we
can not help you" at least three times, each time
I responded by saying that I was not asking them to
help me; told her that the scenario was exactly the
same as when Linda Trip contacted them; person
eventually did identify herself as Monica, and said
reason she had said she wasn't Monica originally was
because there were other Monicas in the office and
she ordinarily didn't answer the phone
(receptionist, but didn't ordinarily answer the
phone?????); 2nd call: 4:41 requested to speak
with a MALE person, "please hold", 4:44 inquiries
re where I was from/calling on behalf of - insult
re making a personal call but didn't know name of
person I was calling; please hold @ 4:46, still
4:46, no male person available;
11/04/98 - is there a male person in the office this
morning, "I can check", 9:30, 9:34 "@ this time
there is no one available to talk to you";
repeat 11:36 - 11:39 "no one available to talk to you
at this time", --"I'm getting the impression that
there's never going to be anyone available. Are you
telling me that no one could talk to me for even 30
seconds to a minute? -- "no ..." -- I'can't believe that.
--
|
Ultimately, a telephone conversation was held with a
male person in the special prosecutor's office. The result was no different.
Never, ever, did that office consider the matter on its merits nor in
any way indicate a disposition consistent with obtaining a review on the
merits from any other source, other than the Attorney General's office which
they had been told was "part of the problem".

Yes, perjury and obstruction of justice are serious offenses.
Unquestionably, however, the context within which those offenses occur
is a significant variable in determining the degree of seriousness.
Unquestionably, subversion of the Constitution, virtually regardless
of the context in which it occurs, is exactly and precisely the type of
high crime contemplated when the Constitutional impeachment proviso was
adopted.
Accompanying are two attachments, "Citizen's Memorial" and "DYNA".
I shall not elaborate on their history at the moment other than to note
that numerous house members, including both the present and prior Speaker
of the House, had received them prior to the Impeachment proceedings in
the house.
Given the fact that the House was aware of the possibility of subversion
of the Constitution by William Jefferson Clinton, and the now apparent
desire to rush to judgment in the Senate, are you not concerned that it
creates the appearance, if indeed not a presumption, that the context of
the impeachment proceedings are nothing more than a canard?
Do you not agree that if the subversion was engaged in by administrations
of both the Republican and Democratic parties, and it has been, the presumption
is overwhelming?
It is commonplace for members of both the House and Senate to speak
of the grave responsibility they have to insure the impeachment proceedings
are in conformance with the Constitutional requirements.
If the proceedings move forward based solely on actions relating
to the present silly context, it shall be to sweep under the rug malignant
actions taken by administrations of both parties. And, at some point in
time, canard shall become as commonplace a word in the average citizen's
vocabulary as detent, perestroika and the like.

Well folks, let's synthesize Daily Message Canards I-V today.
In the Daily Message cryptic style of choice, they are: Canard
I, introduction and definition; Canard II, Citizen Memorial, House; Canard
III, House revisited; Canard IV, Special Prosecutor; and, Canard V, Senate.
Canards II and III disclose an effort to make the voice of a citizen
heard in Congress.
Canard IV and V disclose an effort by a citizen to add substance
to the Special Prosecutor's and Senate's otherwise trivial impeachment
agendas, respectively.
Not interested in substance are they!
Personally, I'd be interested in knowing who the beneficiaries of
the $50 million dollars plus taxpayer tab were.
Personally, I'd like to be insured those funds weren't actually
used for something else more sinister.
Personally, I'd like to be assured that those costs are consistent
with the costs of investigations similar in kind and character.
Does anyone else recall the newsday when two members of Congress
said in effect that "subversion of the Constitution" seemed more like
a legitimate basis for an impeachment agenda than the agenda before them?
Does it seem to anyone else that the whole procedure seemed designed,
calculated and intended to "inoculate" both political parties?
Does anyone else feel their intelligence was insulted by the whole
procedure?
Was not the procedure another manifestation of:
- stonewalling;

JULY 10, 1999 HUNGER STRIKE DAY 167/160; CANARD VII
PSYCH REPORT
An inescapable message from the series of Canard
Daily Messages is that the establishment had no desire whatsoever to find
out what information, if any, I had relevant to their activities.
Do not my communications to the establishment merely advise them
that I could provide material evidence about matters of significant substance?
What kind of strange political system is it that totally ignores
such a source of information?
What kind of individual was offering the information? Well, let's
examine that in a little more detail.
For starters, let's take a look at the following report, a report
from 1979, nineteen SEVENTY nine, twenty years ago. It tells you, by OBJECTIVE
criteria, what kind of individual I was then, the time frame within which
the incidents of the "underlying" issue, the UNLAWFUL suspensions occurred.
NAME: Keith Davis
AGE: 39
MALE
BIRTH DATE: 8/5/39
REASON FOR REFERRAL: The client requested a psychological
evaluation in regard to his recent suspension by the Minnesota State
Bar. He reported that he had been suspended from the general practice
of law in Minnesota by reason of being "Incompetent" to represent clients
in Minnesota under rule number 35 [sic]. Apparently, this decree took
place in April of 1978. Most recently he has also received suspension
from practicing Patent Law and the grounds again were "incompentency"
[sic]. His plans were to appeal the proceedings and decision of the Patent
Office. He is currently representing himself as his own legal counsel.
His primary requests included a psychometric and psychological evaluation
which would determine his general cognitive functioning as well as particular
areas of discriminatory judgement and logical and abstract reasoning abilities.
BEHAVIORAL OBSERVATION AND CLINICAL INTERVIEW: Upon
initial contact Mr. Davis was neatly dressed and well-groomed. He looked
his approximate age and appeared to be well-nourished. His demeanor was
precise and detailed and he responded to the examiner's interview questions
in a logical and articulate fashion. He did seem to be somewhat anxious
and concerned about the testing process and was quite specific in determining
that the examinations to be administered would be of an "Objective" nature
with objective criteria for scoring and interpretation.
Apparently, Mr. Davis's difficulties with the State
Bar were a result of his actions during his divorce proceedings [sic].
He and his wife were divorced in 1972, after six years of marriage and
have three children ages, eight, ten and twelve. Apparently, the court
stated that he was "vexing and harrassing" with his motions in regard
to the divorce proceedings. There were several other grievances from
[ostensible] clients that had been brought to the Board of Professional
Responsibility for the State Bar Association.
Mr. Davis's medical history is largely noncontributory.
He did admit that the stress from the divorce proceeding and the visitation
disputes had caused a great deal of tension and turmoil in his life.
Apparently he has had some varicose veins stripped, a cracked collar
bone, and a broken nose. In regard to psychological and psychiatric history
apparently, he underwent a psychological evaluation in the spring of 1974,
during the custody and visitation disputes with his ex-wife [sic]. He
and his wife had sought conjoint marital therapy after his wife's initial
request for a divorce. They were seen by a psychiatric social worker at
North Memorial Hosptial on three or four occasions and later were referred
to the Lake Minnetonka Mental Health Center, but terminated that contact
very early in the therapuetic program [sic?].
Mr. Davis's occupational and educational history includes
a Bachelor of Science Degree in Electrical Engineering from South Dakota
University [sic] in 1961 and graduating from Law School from William Mitchell
in 1967. He was admitted to the Minnesota State Bar in 1967, and has practiced
Law for approximately eleven years.
Page 2
Davis, Keith
His hobbies and interests include athletics, participating
as well as observing, outdoor activities, music and craft work such as
carpentry and model building. He also enjoys going to the movies, and playing
cards and chess [sic] with friends.
His current condition includes good sleep patterns,
averaging approximately six to seven hours each night. His appetite
has been "very good" and his weight has maintained stability. He does
not smoke and although admitting having consumed "quite a bit of beer"
during the turmoil of his divorce apparently, he feels that he is well-controlled
at the present time.
During the examinaton session Mr. Davis was cooperative
and pleasant. He responded to the examiner's questions and the test
tasks presented in a straight forward and efficient fashion. He was
well-oriented in all three spheres and exhibited no unusually strange
or bizarre thinking or behavior patterns.
TESTS ADMINISTERED: The Wechsler Adult Intelligence
Scale, the Shipley - Hartford Intelligence Scale, the Porteus Maze Test,

On the Wechsler Adult Intelligence Scale,
Mr. Davis obtained a verbal I.Q. of 123, a performance I.Q. of 122 and
a full scale I.Q. of 124, which places him in the "superior" range of intellectual
functioning. The comprehension subtest was deferred because of Mr. Davis's
reservations regarding the subjectivity of this particular subtest. He
possesses superior abstract reasoning abilities particularly in the area
of mathematical reasoning. He has an excellent vocabulary and he is able
to precisely and succinctly determine and define the generic relationsips
between various objects and events in his environment. This is particularly
reflected in his performance on the similarities subtest in which he defined
the relationships between the objects presented in an abstract rather than
a concrete generic sense. He also has excellent vocabulary abilites and
his short-term auditory memory is solidly intact and well-developed.
In regard to perceptual-motor skills there are no
apparent deficiencies. His rote learning memory is excellent and his
abstract reasoning as reflected in the
Page 3
Davis, Keith
block design subtest is also in the superior range of functioning.
He was able to easily manipulate, organize and reproduce both abstract
block designs as well as the more concrete puzzle pieces.
On the Shipley-Hartford Intelligence Scale, Mr. Davis
received a total raw score of 70 which gives him a WAIS full scale I.Q.
equivalent of 117. This score confirms the performance on the Wechsler
Adult Intelligence Scale and places him in the "bright-normal" range
of intellectual functioning. Again his vocabulary skills are solidly
intact, well-developed and easily applicable. His abstract reasoning
ability is also well-established.
On the Wechsler Memory Scale Form I, Mr. Davis obtained
a memory quotient of 135, which places him in the "very superior" range
of memory functioning. His mental control and logical memory are solidly
established. He was well-oriented in regard to person, place and time
and his short-term visual memory was adequate, along with his associative
memory, which was in the above average range of functioning.
On the Porteus Maze Test, Mr. Davis obtained a perfect
score, which gives him a test age of 17 and a test quotient of 121. This
places him in the "superior" range of foresight and planning abilities
as measured by the Maze examination. On two occasions he was reminded of
the rule against tracing over the pattern before using his pencil. He
did not reveal any impulsivity or persistent blocks to his ability to problem
solve. His test-taking approach was satisfactory and obviously his performance
was well above average.
Three individual subtests were also performed as part
of the general cognitive mental status examination. The Kent E-G-Y Questions
were administered and Mr. Davis obtained a total score of 69, which gives
him a mental age of 14+. He scored in the above average to superior range
of functioning in response to his performance on these questions. The
cut-off criteria score for the mental age of 14 is 43 and above. In light
of Mr. Davis's total score of 69, it could be extrapolated that he is functioning
substantially above the average normative range. In response to the
Absurd Sentences subtest, Mr. Davis again functioned in the high average
range and he was able to correctly respond to each of the absurdities
presented. In response to the Geometrical Cross-Out examination, Mr.
Davis obtained a total score of 25, which places him in the "very superior"
range of geometric descrimination and abstract reasoning abilities.
IN SUMMARY: Mr. Davis is a 39 year-old gentleman,
who requested a complete psychological evaluation in regard to determing
his intellectual and cognitive compentencies [sic]. The test results
clearly indicate that he is currently functioning in the "superior" range
of intelligence. He possesses excellent abstract reasoning abilities
and his mathematical skills are solidly intact and well-developed. His
vocabulary is excellent and he has a good working knowledge of general
information about the world around him. His ability to descriminate [sic]
similarities and differences in a generic sense between objects and events
in his environment is quite well-established. His perceptual motor abilities
are solidly intact and well-developed and functioning in the above average
range. In regard to both short-term auditory and short-term visual memory
functioning, Mr. Davis is again performing well within the normal to above
average range. His over all memory functioning is in the "very superior"
category and he was well-oriented in person, place and time. His foresight
and planning ability are also excellently developed and readily accessible
to him as a problem solving technique.
Page 4
Davis, Keith
He has the ability to respond appropriately to factual questions
as well as to descriminate [sic] the inappropriate logic used in the absurity
[sic] questions as well as geometric descrimination [sic]. These skills
are all above average in funcitoning and certainly adequately established.
Based on the results of the psychological evaluation
it would appear that Mr. Davis in no way suffers from any significant deficiencies
in any of the cognitive areas of reasoning and application of his intellectual
skills. He performed well above average and in fact in many areas within
the superior range of functioning on several subtests. It would be anticipated
that Mr. Davis would encounter no difficulty in applying his intellectual
skills and cognitive abilities to his profession. In regard to his intellectual
talents and his reasoning abilities, Mr. Davis is clearly competent and
able to function in an effective manner.

Ok, so maybe I did sandbag a little bit.
What kind of individual was offering to provide the establishment
with evidence about significant substantive matters in 1997 through 1999?
The first indication would be from the "proffers" themselves, the documents
submitted to them, wouldn't it. Anything in them scare any of you? Scared
only the establishment, didn't they.
I don't know how I compare today with the individual who took those
tests in 1979. Admittedly, without reservation, qualification or condition,
I am not that same person.
I do know I have twenty plus years more of life experiences. They
have mellowed me for sure. They have also worn me down. Significantly.
How else can you tell what kind of individual was offering to provide
the establishment with evidence about significant substantive matters in
1997 through 1999? The sign, the website, and all contemporaneous writings
provide an indication too, don't they. In evaluating these materials,
it is suggested the following be kept in mind:
the first 6 days of the hunger strike
were virtually a fast; about the first 100 days were protein starvation,
liquid fortified-electrolyte only days;
the web sites were not created until about 3 weeks into
the hunger strike;
the sign was designed and constructed more than 60 days into
the hunger strike;
it is probably an understatement to describe the environment
within which they were produced as inhospitable; and,
the resources available to produce them were minimal.
|
Basically, the time, energy and resource constraints
at the time these materials were produced were minimalist.
And remember, we have the words of members of the establishment
themselves that "subversion of the Constitution" matters were the very
type of matters they thought they should be considering.
Just what kind of strange creature is this "elective process" democracy?
Certainly, it is a kind which produces stonewalling!
Certainly, it is a kind which produces MURDEROUS TONEWALLING!!!

COURAGE AND STRENGTH
Wisdom.
Courage.
Strength.
Were the citizens of a society uniformly endowed with the qualities
of wisdom, courage and strength, would not that society be a very positive
society?
Do not the qualities of wisdom, courage and strength embody the
principles of every major religion of the world?
Lord, may I be wise.
Lord, may I be courageous.
Lord, may I be strong.
Lord, may I have the wisdom, courage and strength to do thy will.
Lord, may I have the wisdom, courage and strength to overcome stonewalling!
Lord, may I have the wisdom, courage and strength to overcome MURDEROUS

VIAGRA
How's your memory? My recollection is that the special prosecutor
law was supposed to solve a particular problem. I haven't seen any evidence
that the problem has been solved. To my knowledge, the media hasn't reported
that the problem has been solved. I haven't heard one word about a proposed
new law.
Does anyone else feel their intelligence is being insulted? We are
supposed to believe the Starr debacle, coming immediately before the law
expired, was just a coincidence, aren't we?
Haven't heard the mainstream media challenge what is going on, have
you!
"Soft" news I understand they call it, the news that is being reported
today by the mainstream media.
Yes, indeed, they always need to whitewash what they are doing,
don't they.
Why don't they just call it what it is: propaganda.
If it isn't consistent with the fascist agenda it doesn't happen.
If it isn't consistent with the fascist agenda it isn't reported.
The unlawfulness of the suspensions hasn't been reported.
The stonewalling hasn't been reported.
The MURDEROUS STONEWALLING hasn't been reported!!!
Methinks we need a viagra pill for the mainstream media.
Without a media viagra pill stonewalling won't be reported.
Without a media viagra pill MURDEROUS STONEWALLING won't be reported.

JULY 13, 1999 HUNGER STRIKE DAY 170/163; STATUS
PROLOGUE
During the ballpark first 100 days of the Hunger-Strike
(protein starvation phase, liquid intake only), it was relatively easy
to control the caloric intake. Suffice it to say that adding protein also
added solids which made it much more difficult to precisely control.
On June 16, keeping a diary was resumed for the express purpose
of gaining greater control over the caloric shortfall.
Exercise was added on July 5th. partly for the purpose of providing
a greater degree of control over caloric intake, but also for the specific
purpose of strengthening the cardio vascular system. As the exercise became
more rigorous the intake increased correspondingly and the notion of caloric
"shortfall" came more clearly into focus. Shortfall is the difference
between a theoretical "minimum" number of calories which a person requires
and the actual net calorie intake.
Data from July 5th to date is provided in the ESTIMATED DAILY CALORIC
SHORTFALL Table below. The "BURN" variable in the table represents calories
burned by the body during exercise, an extraordinary work activity or other
calory consuming activity.
Gross intake less burn gives you net intake; minimum requirement
less net gives you shortall.
The table is current as of: November 21st. (Yes, I have assumed I
would make it through the 21st.)
