The entire reason they have been stealing my privacy all these years is to help Microsoft-Corbis hijack my identity.
Are all of my "memories" of Bahrain about the time I returned to port with the Stark after it had been hit by the missiles? I "remember" sitting in a bar with a buddy after we had pulled into port for liberty call. I had been up all night on watch and my shift ended just as we got to port. I was sitting there in the bar and couldn't stay awake. An Australian sailor pointed at me to one of his buddies when I fell asleep. At one other point, we got the band to play "Hotel California" but they were all just lip-synching to vocals and the instruments. One of those times was when my buddy took that picture I wrote about in my journal a while back where I was sitting on a pink Rolls Royce that belonged to a princess.
The Kuwait invasion by Saddam Hussein is listed as 8/2/90. Was that Kuwait time or U.S. time? Assume that it occurred it was 8/1/90 in the U.S. when Kuwait was invaded, but even 8/2/90 works with this notion. The time period of 3/3/90 to 8/1/90 was 4 months, 4 weeks, 1 day. That still works for 8/2/90 Kuwait time if you assume they would have started from 3/4/90, which would have been my birthday in England, as I assume my family in England was told of my birth when it was March 4th over there. So from 3/4/90 to 8/2/90 was also 4 months, 4 weeks, 1 day.
I’m not sure when I started thinking that my family had a funeral for me on me on 11/25/86. I had been puzzling over all that for a while, but just a few minutes I was astounded to see that I had made the following references in my journal on 11/25/2006, which is exactly 20 years after 11/25/1986. My brain is still experiencing a strange sense of puzzlement over it. I hate this feeling. I think I completed my escape across Africa occurred on 5/13/87. The number of days from 5/13/87 to 12/16/87 was 217 days difference. Multiplying 365 days times 0.5933 equals 216.55

Letter to the Speaker of the House of Representatives and the President of the Senate on Low Intensity Conflict Policy
December 16, 1987
Dear Mr. Speaker: (Dear Mr. President:)
Conflict in the Third World can pose serious threats to our security interests. Low intensity conflicts, which take place at levels below conventional war, but above routine peaceful competition among states, can be particularly troublesome.
The attached report, prepared pursuant to section 1311 of the National Defense Authorization Act of 1987, responds to legislation passed by the Congress in 1986. It describes actions taken, and ongoing, as a result of our experience with low intensity conflicts over the last several years and highlights a broad-range effort to address problems associated with low intensity conflict and our Special Operations Forces. In that regard, in June of this year, I approved a new national policy and strategy for low intensity conflict and established a Board for Low Intensity Conflict that is chaired by my National Security Adviser. The essential elements of our low intensity conflict policy and strategy are described in the report.
We have also activated the new Unified Command for Special Operations, improved our special operations capabilities, and established the office of the new Assistant Secretary of Defense for Special Operations and Low Intensity Conflict.
More work lies ahead. The United States must continue to respond to challenges arising from low intensity conflict -- to defend our interests and support those who put their lives on the line in the common cause of freedom. For the United States to be effective in this most important undertaking, there must be public understanding and strong congressional support. I hope this report will contribute to a broader understanding of low intensity conflict and the support that our policy requires.
Sincerely,
Ronald Reagan
