http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Crocodile_Dundee
Crocodile Dundee is a 1986 Australian comedy film set in the Australian Outback in the area around "Walkabout Creek" and in New York City. It stars Paul Hogan as Mick Dundee and Linda Kozlowski as Sue Charlton. It was released in the United States as "Crocodile" Dundee.
Inspired by the true life exploits of Rodney Ansell, the film was made on a budget of under $10 million as a deliberate attempt to make a commercial Australian film that would appeal to a mainstream American audience, but proved to be a worldwide phenomenon. Released on April 30, 1986 in Australia, and on September 26, 1986 in the United States, it was the second highest grossing film in the USA in that year and went on to become the number one film worldwide at the box office.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Paul_Hogan
Paul Hogan AM (born October 8, 1939 in Lightning Ridge, New South Wales) is an Australian actor and comedian.
...
Hogan's first film, Crocodile Dundee (1986), featuring a similarly down-to-earth hunter travelling from the Australian Outback to New York City, was privately funded by Hogan and a group of private investors including much of its cast, entrepreneur Kerry Packer, and cricketers Greg Chappell, Dennis Lillee, and Rod Marsh.
1986's Crocodile Dundee proved to be the most successful Australian film ever, and launched Hogan's international film career. Crocodile Dundee won Paul Hogan a Golden Globe Award for Best Actor in a Comedy, as well as an Academy Award nomination for Best Original Screenplay, and a BAFTA Award nomination.
The difference of Paul Hogan's birthday to Joseph Wayne Burgess's birthday is 2375. That is the same time difference I recognize as my first day at Princeton Univerity.
From 10/8/1939 to 4/9/1946 is: 2375 days

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jim_morrison
James Douglas Morrison (8 December 1943 – 3 July 1971) was an American singer, songwriter, writer, actor, and poet. He was best known as the lead singer and lyricist of the popular American rock band The Doors, and is considered to be one of the most charismatic frontmen in the history of rock music.[1] He was also an author of several poetry books, a documentary, short film, and three early music videos ("The Unknown Soldier","Moonlight Drive", and "People are Strange"). Morrison died in Paris at the age of 27. The circumstances of his death and burial are not fully known.
The Microsoft IPO for the MSFT stock was 3 years, 313 days, after the HMS Sheffield was hit during the Falklands War. I believe, but cannot remember, that I was onboard the Sheffield and that was why it was targeted. That IPO also occurred during the time I recognize as when I was a POW in Libya.
From 5/4/1982 to 3/13/1986 is: 3 years, 313 days

WHY CAN I NOT SEE MY WIFE TODAY!!!!
This always reminds me of something I said to Thedia in 2001. I showed her my Microsoft security badge and I told her I had been happy that day. She responded with "that day" which made me think of how that had been the only day I could remember feeling happy in the years after that. I would note a year or two later that Microsoft re-issued my security badge and there was a red smudge on my head.

The Voyager crew are brainwashed into starting new jobs on an industrialized planet, leaving only Chakotay, Kim and Neelix (who were on an away mission at the time) and the Doctor (who was deactivated) to save them.

Robert Duncan McNeill (born November 9, 1964 in Raleigh, North Carolina) is an American actor, producer, movie director, and television director who is best known for his role as Lieutenant Tom Paris on the television show Star Trek: Voyager.
I recognize the date 6/7/1976 as when I landed on the Saturn moon Phoebe. I recognize the date 11/27/1976 as my second day on the Jupiter moon Callisto. I probably couldn't find an actress to match up with the date 11/26/1976. Perhaps it was on that second day I realized I could make oxygen from the water ice I discovered, which assured my survival and return to Earth on 4/14/1977.

Roxann Dawson (born September 11, 1958)[1] is an American actress, producer and director, best known as B'Elanna Torres on the television series Star Trek: Voyager.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/B%27Elanna_Torres
Lieutenant B'Elanna Torres, played by Roxann Dawson, is a character in Star Trek: Voyager. She is the Chief Engineer of the USS Voyager.
...
Torres later begins a relationship with Paris after a complicated and stormy courtship. During an incident in 2374, Torres confesses her love for Tom Paris to him, when they are left floating in space in environmental suits, with almost no hope of rescue ("Day of Honor"). Although Voyager is soon able to rescue them, Torres realizes that her courage in admitting her love has brought her one step closer to discovering what she considers true honor. Their relationship first flourishes on-screen during "Scientific Method". They marry in 2377, and have their honeymoon aboard the Delta Flyer.
Due to day-of-week scheduling, this episode would have been the closest possible to the day Phoebe was 34 years, 59 days, old, which was 4 days earlier.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Day_of_Honor_%28Voyager_episode%29
Airdate September 17, 1997
Day of Honor is an episode of Star Trek: Voyager, the third episode of the fourth season. The episode was well received by fans, and has an average rating of 4.4/5 on the official Star Trek website (as of April 27th, 2007).[1]
It's the "Day of Honor", a time each year when a Klingon is supposed to reflect on herself and her actions. B'Elanna is not in the mood to deal with it. She's been having a bad day. She has to work with Seven of Nine, the Borg drone who's recently come on board, and she can't stand her. She has been hostile toward her friend Tom Paris lately, because even though she likes him and wants to be closer to him, she is uncomfortable accepting gestures of friendship. To top it all off, something goes wrong in Engineering and she must eject the warp core to save the ship.
B'Elanna and Tom take a shuttle out to recover the core. A Caatati ship reaches it first, though. The aliens put a tractor beam on it and prepare to tow it away. B'Elanna warns them not to tractor the core, since doing so is dangerous and could blow them up. The Caatati try to chase them off, firing at their shuttle and causing a warp core overload. B'Elanna and Tom have barely enough time to jump into spacesuits and beam themselves off the shuttle before it explodes. They float alone together in space and watch as the aliens take off with Voyager's warp core.
Voyager receives a distress call from the two lost crewmembers, who have a limited amount of oxygen in their spacesuits and need to be rescued. The ship is held up by the Caatati, who demand supplies in exchange for the warp core. The Borg-hating aliens also demand Seven of Nine.
As B'Elanna and Tom float in the vacuum of space they begin to feel woozy as their oxygen runs out. As they start to fall asleep they say goodbye to each other. B'Elanna insists she can't die without telling Tom the truth. It takes some effort to admit it. "I love you," she says.
Back on Voyager, Seven of Nine has managed to satisfy the Caatati. She builds them a Thorium generator, which will give them all the energy they need to power their ship's systems; and they are so pleased with it they give back Voyager's warp core and agree to let them keep Seven. With its propulsion back in place, the ship rushes off to rescue Tom and B'Elanna, who have fallen asleep in each other's arms.

Your history will now be as the ones that were trying to kill official federal undercover agent and that turned me into a prisoner of war - again.
The terrorists at Microsoft-Corbis. The paparazzi, such as KING5, KOMO4, etc. The corrupted public officials of King County Washington, among others. All that will without a doubt receive federal prison terms. It is bad enough that you interfere with any official federal undercover agent. It is especially bad you interfered with this official federal undercover agent.

All because the Microsoft-Corbis terrorists are stealing my identity. All this because Microsoft-Corbis is controlled by international terrorists and is being protected by George W. Bush and accomplices.

I was again reminded of that girfriend from Ashdown named Laurel Hutchinson. And then her last name makes me think of "Starsky and Hutch." Those are details from my artificial and symbolic memory so that is probably why I "remember" it. I'm not sure if John W. Young was actually on that flight or if that was another of my official federal undercover aliases. It could be he was really there but he was chosen, based on symbolic memories I associate with Randy Romine, that his name reflects the notion of "Young John Wayne." I think that Ronald Reagan and John Wayne were friends and that could be the source of the symbolism

I might have only wanted to get close but not precisely on the mark. There is also the notion that I only had a limited pool of people to choose from. And there is also the notion that it would be easier to match up movie premier dates with events from my life than of matching up movie actors with people that were with me during those events. I think Alan Ruck might have been chosen as the captain of the "Enterprise-B" to connect to me with "Ferris Bueller's Day Off." That movie seems to have been scheduled to point back 59 days, inclusive, to 4/14/1986, the day I escaped from the Libyan prison.

I do remember participating in Freedom Of Navigation exercises. As the world gets smaller, those kinds of international agreements become especially important. But, as America, we have to also remember what I think of as the Survivor principle. I've never actually watched that series, but I remember reading something about how the weak contestants joined together to vote off the most likely winner. It is sort of like reverse-Darwinism. Darwinism, of course, doesn't really take into account man's thinking and planning capacity. I believe that as humans, we are still evolving, but, while I have no idea what sort of education I have on this topic, Darwinism, as defined in popular culture, doesn't really apply to human's progress. Or maybe it does, I don't know, if you applied it religiously, it is malleable enough to fit with almost any theory.

"During my last night in captivity, my captors forced me to participate in a propaganda video. They told me I would be released if I cooperated. I was living in a threatening environment, under their control, and wanted to go home alive. So I agreed," she said in a statement.
[I can't blame her. I probably would have done the same thing in that kind of situation.
Hopefully they didn't constantly lead her on, playing mind games with her all that time.
I think I would have much rather spent years in that type of captivity than in this form of captivity. I personally would have found it actually easier to cope with people holding me with guns. I have been in situations even as kid when people were using weapons to threaten me personally or people I cared about. I was never a hostage like this, but I think it would have been easier on me mentally than all this deception I have endured all these years. I find it easier to cope with physical pain than I do with mental anquish. I wonder who I am making that revelation to.]

I do remember participating in Freedom Of Navigation exercises. As the world gets smaller, those kinds of international agreements become especially important. But, as America, we have to also remember what I think of as the Survivor principle. I've never actually watched that series, but I remember reading something about how the weak contestants joined together to vote off the most likely winner. It is sort of like reverse-Darwinism. Darwinism, of course, doesn't really take into account man's thinking and planning capacity. I believe that as humans, we are still evolving, but, while I have no idea what sort of education I have on this topic, Darwinism, as defined in popular culture, doesn't really apply to human's progress. Or maybe it does, I don't know, if you applied it religiously, it is malleable enough to fit with almost any theory.

"During my last night in captivity, my captors forced me to participate in a propaganda video. They told me I would be released if I cooperated. I was living in a threatening environment, under their control, and wanted to go home alive. So I agreed," she said in a statement.
[I can't blame her. I probably would have done the same thing in that kind of situation.
Hopefully they didn't constantly lead her on, playing mind games with her all that time.
I think I would have much rather spent years in that type of captivity than in this form of captivity. I personally would have found it actually easier to cope with people holding me with guns. I have been in situations even as kid when people were using weapons to threaten me personally or people I cared about. I was never a hostage like this, but I think it would have been easier on me mentally than all this deception I have endured all these years. I find it easier to cope with physical pain than I do with mental anquish. I wonder who I am making that revelation to.]

Not enough of it. Need sleep. Lousy inconsiderate bastards yelling and jumping around. How can anyone sleep with all this goddamned snoring.
I don't know, maybe there isn't a hidden camera in that fire detector in the ceiling. Two guys got kicked out yesterday because they were smoking crack cocaine in the cubicle next to me. Don't know if someone saw them on the camera or just by walking by. Seems like they would have known a camera was there too.
Need sleep.
keep it up you goddamned pyscos. keep playing your goddamned games you fucking losers.

"Wish You Were Here"
She just looks so familiar in these photos. If not for the great feeling associated with that familiar unfamiliarity, I would feel frustrated about not knowing why I feel it. I can't begin to articulate my feeling about this. There is just something there I need to find. Something missing. It is my conscious memory of her. The feelings are there but the conscious awareness of where those feelings come from is missing. I assume she has her hair pulled back in that photos because her hair was a lot shorter when we got married. That's why I "remember" that Rachel had very short hair in my artificial and symbolic memory. I noted earlier that the blouse she is wearing resembles the comforter I slept under of many years when I was working at Microsoft to investigate the terrorists in control of that company and King County, Washington, among others.

Exit the King: Kevin Kline's Lear Closes March 25
The Public Theater's production of William Shakespeare's King Lear, starring Kevin Kline, closes March 25.
James Lapine directed the production, which began previews Feb. 9 and opened March 7.
I "remember" that Rachel had hair just as Phoebe does in this movie, "Date With An Angel." I still "remember" so much about Rachel, in my artificial and symbolic memory. I had talked to her a few times before we started seeing each other. She followed me into my office one day after we were talking in the cafe of the First Federal building and we were talking in there. I think that was the day we started seeing each other, which was actually later that night. I said something to Jim Shea later that I was thinking Rachel had a thing for me. He said something about how he was quite certain she was indeed very interested in me. I went looking for her and arranged for us to get together later that night and she came over to my apartment at Wexford. This all probably relates to Phoebe somehow but I am not sure how it all relates directly to us. For example, Rachel was living with another guy when we started dating. It could that detail represents me as both guys, but I am not certain. Or it just represents that mediocrity notion I have written of. My belief is that Phoebe has been so perfect for me in reality that I had to create imperfect relationships in my artificial memory so I could fully appreciate just how great she is.
http://gallery.phoebe-cates.com/v/movies/date_angel/
Hell, my "memories" may actually be jumbled with the movies she made. I might be confusing scenes from her movies with our real life together back then. It makes sense, but I don't know. It feels like I "remember" what I was taught to "remember." I might not even "remember" actual scenes from movies, I just "remember" something about her being the love interest of someone in a movie she was in. That's a very aggravating feeling.
I don't remember actually watching this movie, "Gremlins," but yet I feel as though I have. Was she an airline stewardess in that movie? That would be pretty funny.
http://gallery.phoebe-cates.com/v/movies/gremlins/gremlins41.jpg.html
Or is that a uniform for a movie theatre?
http://gallery.phoebe-cates.com/v/movies/gremlins/gremlins50.jpg.html
god it hurts to look at those images of her. I miss her beyond tolerance. Phoebe looks a lot like Rachel in this photo. And I look at this photo, and while I can't remember when it was taken, I feel quite certain I was in love with her on this day, as I was in love with her many days before that photo was taken and I was in love with her many days after that photo was taken. I can't consciously remember anything about those times, but I feel it and all I know for certain is that we are not together and I miss her intensely.
http://gallery.phoebe-cates.com/v/misc/misc529.jpg.html
And god, look at her out in the snow like that!! How many incredible memories of her like that are layered into my mind from over the years we have been in love?
http://gallery.phoebe-cates.com/v/misc/misc527.jpg.html
It's probably not that easy being in love with an actress because you see her.....something....something. If it wasn't easy then, it is brutal now that my long-term memories are scrambled. I see that photo of her on the phone in "Date With An Angel" and I imagine that is how she looked when someone called her on 5/13/1987 to tell her I had been found alive. I have been thinking that the release of "Date With An Angel" was timed for a point 359 days after the funeral service my family had for me in 1986.
I notice again as I look through those photos that she just gets prettier as time goes by. She is prettier in the current photos than back when we would have started dating in the 80's, and she was quite pretty back then, so that's saying a lot. Why the goddamned hell can't I see her TODAY!!!!!
I wonder why I have such bad "memories" associated with this next song. I can "remember" that I hated hearing this song when it played. I still don't like to listen to it. It doesn't make me feel as bad as it did a long time ago, but I still don't like to listen to it, even though I am a fan of all of Tom Petty's work.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mary_Jane%27s_Last_Dance
"Mary Jane's Last Dance" is a song by Tom Petty and the Heartbreakers. It was recorded while Petty was recording his Wildflowers album, and was produced by Rick Rubin. This song was first released as part of the Greatest Hits album in 1993.
I noted earlier that Pink Floyd's "Wish You Were Here" premiered 41 weeks, 4 days, before 7/2/1976. I recognize the date 7/2/1976 as when I intercepted the comet in the outer solar system above the ecliptic.
From 9/15/1975 to 7/2/1976 is: 41 weeks and 4 days
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wish_You_Were_Here_%28album%29
Wish You Were Here is a concept album by Pink Floyd. Recorded at Abbey Road Studios between January and July, 1975 and released on September 15, 1975 (see 1975 in music), the album would later be regarded as one of Pink Floyd's greatest albums. Its lyrics, composed by Roger Waters and concerning the music industry, question the market-oriented record companies' lack of understanding and interest for musicians. The album also pays tribute to Syd Barrett, Pink Floyd's former guitarist and chief songwriter, especially "Shine On You Crazy Diamond", and the title track itself.
I don't know if I wrote those lyrics in my real life, but I imagine it was created in anticipation of my mission to intercept the comet. I think a lot about that part about "pile on many more layers" in the context of all the craziness I had probably seen to that point in my life. All that time in combat in the Vietnam War, all those trips into space. I wonder if this music is how I coped with the stress. I wonder if I even knew what stress was back then.
I read that article again and I immediately "remember" a girlfriend I had in my artificial and symbolic memory. Her name was Abby and I would see her when we were in port at the U.s. Navy Roosevelt Roads base in Puerto Rico. The P.R. makes me think of my wife, Phoebe Ray.
That has got be what that means. Why else would I have such artificial and symbolic memories? I find myself wanting to say that I am Pink Floyd, but I feel bad for taking all the credit for the work. I don't know if I created it all or I just own all the rights to the work in my real life or what it all means. I don't know.

Pink Floyd Lyrics
Shine On You Crazy Diamond (I-V) Lyrics
Remember when you were young, you shone like the sun.
Shine on you crazy diamond.
Now there's a look in your eyes, like black holes in the sky.
Shine on you crazy diamond.
You were caught on the crossfire of childhood and stardom,
blown on the steel breeze.
Come on you target for faraway laughter,
come on you stranger, you legend, you martyr, and shine!
You reached for the secret too soon, you cried for the moon.
Shine on you crazy diamond.
Threatened by shadows at night, and exposed in the light.
Shine on you crazy diamond.
Well you wore out your welcome with random precision,
rode on the steel breeze.
Come on you raver, you seer of visions,
come on you painter, you piper, you prisoner, and shine!

Shine On You Crazy Diamond (VI-IX) Lyrics
Nobody knows where you are, how near or how far.
Shine on you crazy diamond.
Pile on many more layers and I'll be joining you there.
Shine on you crazy diamond.
And we'll bask in the shadow of yesterday's triumph,
sail on the steel breeze.
Come on you boy child, you winner and loser,
come on you miner for truth and delusion, and shine

Felt like there was a lot of dreams but I can only remember one segment. I wonder if they are getting better at erasing whatever it is I sense to distinquish it as a foreign dream. Maybe it has something to do with the tone of voice they use when they are manipulating my dreams. Perhaps there was an urgency in the past that doesn't exist now and that translates in my perception as something else. The dream I remember from this morning, I think it was just before I woke up, was that I was stationed aboard a U.S. Navy ship. There was a lot more to this dream I wish I could remember, but I think the basic dream was that I was the XO, it may have been a Perry class frigate, but I don't remember which one it was. I remember at one point I was saying that I wanted to be the CO of the Stark, but since that ship has been decom'd I think, I don't know what that means. The only real part I remember about this dream is that I was explaining to the CO how I was going to handle liberty call for our next port. We were leaving on a trip down to Puerto Rico and would stay in port for one night and I was working out the plan for liberty. I remember something about the CO seemed really young, maybe a teenager. I wonder if that is how all COs are if you know one on a peer- or almost-peer basis. That isn't it quite exactly, something about them seeming more human or not so terrible, as I heard them referred to once.

I remember only one scene from my dreams last night. It was of looking down into a paper bag that had a cat in it. I am confused about whether the dream was from the perspective of my eyes or whether I was the cat. Maybe both. I remember the cat was really pissed off. I remember seeing what would seem to be my arm reaching into the bag to pet the cat. I don't know if it occurred during the dream or after I woke up, but I remember thinking how that seemed like a bad idea. I remember a voice saying something about how it just wanted to pet the cat, but I am uncertain whether the voice was saying "I" or "We" to indicate whether it was me talking to the cat or whether the spectators were talking to me, respectively. I awoke with a relevant lyric fragment playing in my head, but I don't remember it now.

There was a bunch of stuff in my dreams last night, but I only remember one part. I was also very tired when I woke up, but couldn't go back to sleep. The part of the dream I do remember is where I was walking down some stairs. It seemed to be outside, as in stairs leading down the outside of a building, a factory maybe. I am thinking it was at the end of something, a conclusion of something. I turned around after going down a couple of the stairs and was organizing some stuff, books maybe. I couldn't get them all together or something and I think I was going to have to make a second trip to bring them all down. Within the boxes and books, I pulled out a hat and put it on. It was a U.S. Navy Officer's cover.
Today I am also thinking back to that dream I had in my last days at Microsoft. I told a friend about it. I dreamed that someone had set off two bombs and I was watching the towering clouds from the explosions rising high into the atmosphere. I was baffled at how people were going around their normal business like nothing had happened. There was one person I recognized, a guy that was on the same team as I. I didn't understand why no one was concerned.

"Break On Through (To The Other Side)"
You know the day destroys the night
Night divides the day
Tried to run
Tried to hide
Break on through to the other side
Break on through to the other side
Break on through to the other side, yeah
We chased our pleasures here
Dug our treasures there
But can you still recall
The time we cried
Break on through to the other side
Break on through to the other side
Yeah!
C'mon, yeah
Everybody loves my baby
Everybody loves my baby
She get(s high)
She get(s high)
She get(s high)
She get(s high)
I found an island in your arms
Country in your eyes
Arms that chain
Eyes that lie
Break on through to the other side
Break on through to the other side
Break on through, oww!
Oh, yeah!
Made the scene
Week to week
Day to day
Hour to hour
The gate is straight
Deep and wide
Break on through to the other side
Break on through to the other side
Break on through
Break on through
Break on through
Break on through

THE DOORS lyrics
"Break On Through (To The Other Side)"
You know the day destroys the night
Night divides the day
Tried to run
Tried to hide
Break on through to the other side
Break on through to the other side
Break on through to the other side, yeah
We chased our pleasures here
Dug our treasures there
But can you still recall
The time we cried
Break on through to the other side
Break on through to the other side
Yeah!
C'mon, yeah
Everybody loves my baby
Everybody loves my baby
She get(s high)
She get(s high)
She get(s high)
She get(s high)
I found an island in your arms
Country in your eyes
Arms that chain
Eyes that lie
Break on through to the other side
Break on through to the other side
Break on through, oww!
Oh, yeah!
Made the scene
Week to week
Day to day
Hour to hour
The gate is straight
Deep and wide
Break on through to the other side
Break on through to the other side
Break on through
Break on through
Break on through
Break on through
George W. Bush - agent of Al Qaeda
All these years for nothing. I can't even see my wife. I think I am remembering when I would hold her in my arms and she would look at me with a look on her face that melts my heart and I would brush a strand of hair from her face and it just melts my heart to think about it and I can almost certainly feel her in my arms and see that beautiful look on her face as she looks into me. That is what I think of when I see current photos of her in that blouse that is similar to the comforter I slept under for all those years.
Something about how I have lost the context, or something, about the pain I feel from being apart. I still remember the pain, but I lost the association of it ending when we were together again. The pain is still there, disconnected from when we got back together. I still remember when I would get to see her again, but it is disconnected....something like that. And we are still apart. All I know is that I miss her intensely.
And for what? For what reason are we apart?
It is all - ALL OF IT - because Microsoft-Corbis and accomplices are stealing from me. We have had to be apart because Microsoft-Corbis is a terrorist organization led by Bill Gates. His major accomplice is George W. Bush and Bill Gates arranged for George W. Bush to get into office in an effort to steal my identity and my intellectual property. George W. Bush was a national traitor before he was installed as president by Microsoft-Corbis, a terrorist organization.

Lyrics by Bernie Taupin
Available on the album Don't Shoot Me I'm Only The Piano Player
Daniel is travelling tonight on a plane
I can see the red tail lights heading for Spain
Oh and I can see Daniel waving goodbye
God it looks like Daniel, must be the clouds in my eyes
They say Spain is pretty though I've never been
Well Daniel says it's the best place that he's ever seen
Oh and he should know, he's been there enough
Lord I miss Daniel, oh I miss him so much
Daniel my brother you are older than me
Do you still feel the pain of the scars that won't heal
Your eyes have died but you see more than I
Daniel you're a star in the face of the sky
Daniel is travelling tonight on a plane
I can see the red tail lights heading for Spain
Oh and I can see Daniel waving goodbye
God it looks like Daniel, must be the clouds in my eyes
Oh God it looks like Daniel, must be the clouds in my eyes

Don't Shoot Me I'm Only the Piano Player is the seventh album by British singer/songwriter Elton John.
This was Elton John's commercial breakthrough in America and yielded his first #1 single there - Crocodile Rock. Along with Crocodile Rock, Don't Shoot Me... contained more songs with a pop flavor, including "Elderberry Wine" (the b-side of Crocodile Rock) and "Teacher, I Need You." Many long-time fans however, lamented this change, wishing he had stayed true to his original roots of simple piano ballads which were the staple on most of his earlier albums.

People in the News: It pays to have the right audience
Who needs "American Idol" to get a recording contract when you can get one by singing for George Clooney? Reuters reported that part-time food server and jazz singer Victoria Hart, 18, snagged a bidding battle for her crooning skills after performing in front of the "Ocean's 13" star and friends.
Hart sang in front of Clooney, Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie at the Cannes Film Festival at a benefit auction for Darfur. The performance was a career-maker that thrust her in the spotlight and into a tug-of-war between major recording labels EMI and Universal.
If one of those companies signs her, she'll say goodbye to her job at the Naked Turtle restaurant in London.

Master-At-Arms
That article I referenced earlier says that Valerie Plame is from Anchorage, Alaska. That must have some bearing on the U.S. military DD-214 that is part of my official federal undercover identity. I was puzzling a while back over some artificial and symbolic memories from long ago of someone confusing the AR postal abbreviation for Arkansas with the AK postal code for Alaska. I was puzzling over why that mistake would be made on my DD-214. Someone incorrectly typed in AK, instead of AR, for Arkansas and then used a pen to turn it into AR. It is barely noticable, now that I think about it, but in my mind, it is huge. Why would such an error exist on a document that was created to support my official federal undercover identity?
I have also puzzled many times over the years about the years about the address in the field 19.a. "Mailing Address After Separation." It contains Thedia Newman's address at Highway 59 and Constitution Avenue in Ashdown, Arkanasas. I puzzled over why the town name was written as Ashdown, Little Rock, AR 71822. I puzzled over that for a long time and I do especially now because Ashdown is no where near Little Rock. If Ashdown was a suburb of Little Rock, I could understand the detail. As I was writing that last sentence, a scene from my artificial and symbolic memory flashed into mind of one time I was talking to Tammie Hood and she was talking about how she expected Ashdown to be a suburb of Texarkana in the near future. That was probably back in the late 80's or early 90's. I don't know why I would "remember" such an artificial memory.
There is a reason I have artificial and symbolic memories about being on Shore Patrol on the USS Wainwright. Someone knows something about that from 1999, too. Clues that are sure to point to my assignments as a guard.

Ordered from Bath Iron Works on 23 January 1978 as part of the FY78 program, Stephen W. Groves was laid down on 16 September 1980, launched on 4 April 1981, and commissioned on 17 April 1982, Commander Philip A. Bozzelli commanding.
And so much of this because I was selfish to love Phoebe. As soon as I started to understand I was in love with her, I should have just let her go so she wouldn't have to live like this. No one else on this planet can actually love her as I do, but still, it was incredibly selfish of me to marry her and bring her into this kind of life. I was incredibly selfish. It's not bad enough the 9.2 years for this recent deployment. There is also the constant danger. Make no mistake about it - I have some of the worst possible enemies a person in the U.S. military can have. And for what? I have the support of the U.S. Navy, but still. My job isn't to be protected by the military. I have a dangerous job but for what? What do I have to show for it? Nothing. I live in a cage. I worry about the safety of the woman I love and I don't even get to see her. All for what? What is the goddamned point to it all? What is the POINT?? All I have done is to make the people I care about a target. This country couldn't give a goddamned about my life. They don't give a crap about freedom because they don't deserve it. They won't let me live free, so why the fuck do they deserve to be free. I haven't seen my wife in over 9 damned years and I STILL HAVE NO GODDAMNED IDEA WHEN I WILL SEE HER AGAIN!!!! ALL I HAVE ARE THESE GODDAMNED PAPARAZZI MOTHERFUCKERS 24 HOURS A GODDAMNED DAY!!!! And still...I know nothing. I just have feelings that I hope are true about her. But what the hell do I know for certain? Nothing. I feel sane and that these are real memories returning, but no one is telling me a goddamned thing.

"I Dreamed Of Africa"
Kim Basinger, according to information I found on the internet, was 33 years, 5 months, 9 days, old on 5/17/1987. I recognize that I completed my escape from Africa on 5/13/1987 and then the USS Stark FFG-31 was hit by Saddam on 5/17/1987 because it was transporting me to Bahrain for medical treatment. I imagine that Phoebe had dreams of Africa in 1986 when I was missing and presumed dead. There are probably other clues to find associated with this movie but I have found it almost impossible to concentrate on any further today.

I Dreamed of Africa (2000)
Release Date: 5 May 2000 (USA)
I recognize the day 2/14/1986 as when I was shot down by anti-aircraft fire and was a Prisoner of War in Libya until 4/14/1986. Around the time I was shot down, I was the same age as Colonel Ilan Ramon of the Israeli Air Force. Bill Gates took a page out of that book and hired Monica Lewinsky to target President Clinton around the time I was in Microsoft to establish probable cause back in 1995. Bill Gates has also purchased and corrupted such public officials as George W. Bush and Dave Reichert.

Proclamation 5520—National P.O.W./M.I.A. Recognition Day, 1986
August 28th, 1986
By the President of the United States of America
A Proclamation
Courage and sacrifice are no strangers to America. In every war since our first struggle for independence, America's prisoners of war have endured terrible hardships and have been called upon to make extraordinary sacrifices. The bravery, perseverance, and profound devotion to duty of our POWs and MIAs have earned them a place of honor in the hearts of all Americans. Their heroism is an inspiration to future generations. Their spirit of hope and their commitment to the defense of freedom are a claim on our loyalty to them.
All Americans are also deeply moved by the pain and suffering endured by the families and friends of those who remain missing or unaccounted for. We share both their burden and their commitment to secure the release of any U.S. personnel who may still be held against their will, to recover the missing, to resolve the accounting, and to relieve the suffering of our missing servicemen. Until the P.O.W./M.I.A. issue has been resolved, it will continue to be a matter of the highest national priority. As a symbol of this national commitment, the P.O.W./M.I.A. Flag will fly over the White House, the Departments of State and Defense, the Veterans' Administration, and the Vietnam Veterans Memorial on September 19, 1986. It will also fly over the Vietnam Veterans Memorial on Memorial Day and Veterans Day.
In order to recognize the special debt all Americans owe to the men and women who gave up their freedom in the service of our country and to reaffirm our commitment to their families, the Congress, by Senate Joint Resolution 220, has designated September 19, 1986, as "National P.O.W./M.I.A. Recognition Day," and authorized and requested the President to issue a proclamation in observance of this occasion.
Now, Therefore, I, Ronald Reagan, President of the United States of America, do hereby proclaim Friday, September 19, 1986, as National P.O.W./M.I.A. Recognition Day. I call on all Americans to join in honoring all former American prisoners of war, those still missing, and their families who have made extraordinary sacrifices on behalf of this country. I also call upon State and local officials and private organizations to observe this day with appropriate ceremonies and activities.
In Witness Whereof, I have hereunto set my hand this twenty-eighth day of August, in the year of our Lord nineteen hundred and eighty-six, and of the Independence of the United States of America the two hundred and eleventh.

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

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Joshua_Tree
The Joshua Tree is the fifth studio album by Irish rock band U2, released on March 9, 1987 on Island Records. It was produced by Brian Eno and Daniel Lanois. The album was massively successful, and is considered to have been U2's worldwide commercial breakthrough. In addition, it has often been praised by music critics as the band's best album and one of the best rock albums of all time. In 2003, the album was ranked number 26 on Rolling Stone magazine's list of the 500 greatest albums of all time. The Joshua Tree won the Album of the Year award at the Grammy Awards of 1988.
...
Themes
Water and desert
Numerous aspects of the album emphasize water and the desert. To begin with, the cover photograph is a black-and-white photo of the band at Death Valley National Park in the desert of California [2], taken by the band's longtime photographer Anton Corbijn; then there is the title of the album, which harkens to the California desert's Joshua Tree. Throughout the album, there are numerous explicit lyrical references to water and desert. Specifically, there are 46 references to the words rain, raining, rainin', rainfall, flood, water, well, sea, ocean, and river. Also, there are 17 references to desert, dry, plain, heat, dust, sunlight, and the sun. Water and desert, poetic equivalents of life and death, loss and redemption, and other diametrically opposed but uniquely linked forces, are thus used for a variety of purposes (which are further explained later):

Assuming this release date in the article is correct, I'm not entirely sure why this would point to the hit on the Stark, other than obvious reasons associated with me. There are some ideas, such as the sense of loss of the sailors that were killed during another assassination attempt on me. Maybe that is why. At first, I thought it was going to point to 5/13/1987, but instead, it is 33 months, 3 days, after 5/17/1987, which was the day the USS Stark FFG-31 was hit.
After I wrote that last paragraph, I read again the title of the album and that makes sense, actually. "Dark at the end of the tunnel" seems to be a good representation of the day the Stark was hit while transporting me home after I completed my escape from Africa. They'll probably try again. They always do.
Released February 20, 1990
Dark at the End of the Tunnel is the sixth studio album by Oingo Boingo, released in 1990. It is the first collection of all new material released by the band since their 1987 album BOI-NGO. It is also notable as the first record to find the band shying away from the previously heavy use of New Wave elements with more emphasis on a heavy, Modern Rock sound.

Flesh ’n’ Blood
Over time Ive come to feel
That everything must come apart it seems
From the little child to the man of power
From the beggar to the angel of my dreams
From the thinnest thread we are sewn together
From the finest string we dangle over time
From the highest wire do we walk through fire
Should our balance ever falter
Should our steps be unaligned
Such a big storm yeah such a strong wind blowing
Such a loud voice calling for me to cross the line
Chorus
But Im not gonna give up the ghost
No, not gonna give up the ghost
Im not gonna give up the ghost, no not gonna give it up
cause I havent the strength to hold out too long
If we both hold on together we can make each other strong
After all were flesh n blood
After all were flesh n blood
After all were flesh n blood
After all were flesh
After all were flesh n blood
After all were flesh n blood
After all were flesh n blood
After all were flesh
Drop the mask take away the house
And forget about the income and the car
Were all the same underneath our shell
Weve all been to hell and we know what its like
And weve shared each others sins
We all know what its like to give up the fight
Weve all been ashamed at one time or another
We all have dreams and nightmares too
When it all comes down well look out for each other
(no one else will)
But when I hear the call when I feel the thirst
When the catcher comes to take my soul
Hes gonna have to fight me first
Chorus
Every cloud has a silver lining
And every soul is tender to the touch
We are made of stone, we are made of steel
And were all the same when we return to dust
But when I hear the call when I feel the thirst
When the catcher comes to take my soul
Hes gonna have to fight me first . . .

Release Date: 5 May 2000 (USA)
I recognize the day 2/14/1986 as when I was shot down by anti-aircraft fire and was a Prisoner of War in Libya until 4/14/1986. Around the time I was shot down, I was the same age as Colonel Ilan Ramon of the Israeli Air Force. Bill Gates took a page out of that book and hired Monica Lewinsky to target President Clinton around the time I was in Microsoft to establish probable cause back in 1995. Bill Gates has also purchased and corrupted such public officials as George W. Bush and Dave Reichert.

Proclamation 5520—National P.O.W./M.I.A. Recognition Day, 1986
August 28th, 1986
By the President of the United States of America
A Proclamation
Courage and sacrifice are no strangers to America. In every war since our first struggle for independence, America's prisoners of war have endured terrible hardships and have been called upon to make extraordinary sacrifices. The bravery, perseverance, and profound devotion to duty of our POWs and MIAs have earned them a place of honor in the hearts of all Americans. Their heroism is an inspiration to future generations. Their spirit of hope and their commitment to the defense of freedom are a claim on our loyalty to them.
All Americans are also deeply moved by the pain and suffering endured by the families and friends of those who remain missing or unaccounted for. We share both their burden and their commitment to secure the release of any U.S. personnel who may still be held against their will, to recover the missing, to resolve the accounting, and to relieve the suffering of our missing servicemen. Until the P.O.W./M.I.A. issue has been resolved, it will continue to be a matter of the highest national priority. As a symbol of this national commitment, the P.O.W./M.I.A. Flag will fly over the White House, the Departments of State and Defense, the Veterans' Administration, and the Vietnam Veterans Memorial on September 19, 1986. It will also fly over the Vietnam Veterans Memorial on Memorial Day and Veterans Day.
In order to recognize the special debt all Americans owe to the men and women who gave up their freedom in the service of our country and to reaffirm our commitment to their families, the Congress, by Senate Joint Resolution 220, has designated September 19, 1986, as "National P.O.W./M.I.A. Recognition Day," and authorized and requested the President to issue a proclamation in observance of this occasion.
Now, Therefore, I, Ronald Reagan, President of the United States of America, do hereby proclaim Friday, September 19, 1986, as National P.O.W./M.I.A. Recognition Day. I call on all Americans to join in honoring all former American prisoners of war, those still missing, and their families who have made extraordinary sacrifices on behalf of this country. I also call upon State and local officials and private organizations to observe this day with appropriate ceremonies and activities.
In Witness Whereof, I have hereunto set my hand this twenty-eighth day of August, in the year of our Lord nineteen hundred and eighty-six, and of the Independence of the United States of America the two hundred and eleventh.

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

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Joshua_Tree
The Joshua Tree is the fifth studio album by Irish rock band U2, released on March 9, 1987 on Island Records. It was produced by Brian Eno and Daniel Lanois. The album was massively successful, and is considered to have been U2's worldwide commercial breakthrough. In addition, it has often been praised by music critics as the band's best album and one of the best rock albums of all time. In 2003, the album was ranked number 26 on Rolling Stone magazine's list of the 500 greatest albums of all time. The Joshua Tree won the Album of the Year award at the Grammy Awards of 1988.
...
Themes
Water and desert
Numerous aspects of the album emphasize water and the desert. To begin with, the cover photograph is a black-and-white photo of the band at Death Valley National Park in the desert of California [2], taken by the band's longtime photographer Anton Corbijn; then there is the title of the album, which harkens to the California desert's Joshua Tree. Throughout the album, there are numerous explicit lyrical references to water and desert. Specifically, there are 46 references to the words rain, raining, rainin', rainfall, flood, water, well, sea, ocean, and river. Also, there are 17 references to desert, dry, plain, heat, dust, sunlight, and the sun. Water and desert, poetic equivalents of life and death, loss and redemption, and other diametrically opposed but uniquely linked forces, are thus used for a variety of purposes (which are further explained later):
Reconciling Greg Carroll's death;
Analogizing the duality of American spirit and its oft-ruthless foreign policy;
Setting a tone of the American Southwest, providing a cinematic backdrop for the music - as Bono has said, a canvas on which to paint; and
Creating tone of rusticism, purity, earthiness, piety, rootsiness, and complementing the bluesy/country vibe.

9.20 years of missing out
I might not remember enough at this point to get the full picture of this clue. The movie premiered 3 months, 3 days, after Phoebe's 7/16/1990 birthday, but I found myself wondering if it is supposed to point back 3 years, 3 months, 3 days, earlier to her birthday on 7/16/1987. That would have been a few weeks after I returned from Africa, after surviving a similar fate as "Quigley" in this movie.

I have artifical and symbolic memories of taking Bobbilynn Michelle Townsend to see that movie "Kindergarten Cop" so that must mean something. I drove her in my red 1990 Mazda RX-7 GXL to the theatre in Anderson, South Carolina. She lived near Clemson and she worked at First Federal, in my artificial and symbolic memory. I also "remember" a football coach named Kimble from Ashdown.

Scooter Libby - operative of Al Qaeda
http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/18927332/site/newsweek/page/0/
Arguing that Libby deserves jail time, Fitzgerald says Plame was a covert agent
...
Moreover, while Libby denied ever knowing that Valerie Wilson was a covert agent (and prosecutors never introduced any evidence that he had) “other evidence obtained by the grand jury indicated that defendant learned that Ms. Wilson worked at the CIA from multiple government officials under circumstances that, at a bare minimum, warranted inquiry before the information was publicly disseminated.”
...
One of Libby’s most ardent defenders, Richard Carlson, a former chief of the Voice of America who serves as a member of a defense trust set up for Libby, reacted harshly to Fitzgerald’s latest filings. “I think it’s certainly unseemly that he is kicking him while he’s down,” Carlson said. “For Fitzgerald, to get on his high horse, it’s disgusting and he should be ashamed of himself.”
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Richard_Carlson
American movie actor Richard Carlson (April 29, 1912- November 21, 1977)...The 1950s proved a busy time for Carlson. He continued to direct, this time in television and documentary films. He also was the star of the television series I Led Three Lives from 1953-1956.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/I_Led_Three_Lives
I Led Three Lives is a US television show which was syndicated by Ziv Television Programs from 1953-56. It was loosely based on the life of Herbert Philbrick, a Boston advertising executive who infiltrated the US Communist Party on behalf of the FBI in the 1940s and wrote a bestselling book on the topic, I Led Three Lives: Citizen, 'Communist', Counterspy (1952). Philbrick narrated each episode and served as a technical consultant and all scripts were approved by J. Edgar Hoover and the FBI. Despite this, the episodes often had very little to do with the actual events of Philbrick's life and gradually became more and more outlandish, with Philbrick journeying to Europe and South America and featuring such Communist plots as an attempt to convert vacuum cleaners into bomb launchers.
Philbrick was played by Richard Carlson. I Led Three Lives lasted 117 episodes. Interestingly, the show was a favorite of presidential assassin Lee Harvey Oswald when he was a teenager.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Herbert_Philbrick
Herbert Arthur Philbrick (May 11, 1915 - August 16, 1993) was a Boston area advertising executive who, acting as a citizen volunteer, successfully infiltrated the Communist Party USA between 1940 and 1949. His involvement began when he joined a Communist front group in Cambridge, Massachusetts, the Cambridge Youth Council. His suspicions aroused by the strange power structure and positions taken by this group, Philbrick contacted the FBI and encouraged by them, began deepening his involvement in Communist activities, joining first the Young Communist League and later, as a secret member, the Communist Party itself.
...
Philbrick's Party career came to its end when the Justice Department decided to use him as a witness in the Smith Act prosecutions of the leadership of the Communist Party, United States v. Foster, et. al. On April 6, 1949 he was called as a witness, testifing about his career and training as a Party activist. His testimony was perhaps most useful in that he demonstrated from the content of the training he had received the intent of the Communist Party to overthrow the government of the United States.
He went on to write a biographical book, I Led Three Lives: Citizen, 'Communist', Counterspy, which was made into a movie. A television series, I Led Three Lives, loosely based on his experiences ran for 3 years during the 1950s.
Later in life, Philbrick retired to the home of his youth, in the seacoast region of New Hampshire. He remained active in giving speeches and encouraging youth and adult citizens to exercise their political rights and power, admonishing his listeners to be ever-watchful against those who would undermine our democratic form of government. Toward the end of his life, he owned and ran a hardware store in North Hampton, NH. Shunning fame, he confided that he never stopped travelling under assumed names and watching for people following him.

Dave Reichert - operative of Al Qaeda
Dave Reichert was 593 months old on 1/29/2000. I had been working at Microsoft with my official federal undercover identity for 59 weeks, 5 days, on 1/29/2000. Dave Reichert is a corrupted United States Congressman who, as a corrupted public official, was the Sheriff of King County, Washington, when I worked undercover at Microsoft. Microsoft-Corbis bought him off to protect them against the federal government working to stop their terrorist activities. Dave Reichert is an operative for the Al Qaeda terrorist organization.

Flight 175
Tail number N612UA
United Airlines Flight 175 was a morning flight that regularly flew from Logan International Airport in East Boston, Massachusetts to Los Angeles International Airport (LAX) in Los Angeles, California (Boston–Los Angeles route). On September 11, 2001, the United Airlines Boeing 767-222, registered N612UA
This aircraft had the '591' in the registration number on the tail:
United Airlines Flight 93 was a regular flight from Newark International Airport (now known as Newark Liberty International Airport) in Newark, New Jersey, to San Francisco International Airport, then continuing on to Narita International Airport in Tokyo, Japan, on a different aircraft. On September 11, 2001, the United Airlines Boeing 757-222, registered N591UA
The pilot of Flight 77 that went into the Pentagon was 3459 days older than I am.
From 9/12/1949 to 3/3/1959 is: 3459 days

How goddamned incredibly fucked up is it that I have had to spend over 9 years away from my wife just because I went to Mars??!!! How goddamned fucked up is that??!!!
It is ironic that if I had not gone to Mars before she and I even started dating, I would be home with her right now. I can't go home because the criminals stealing from us are not in jail yet. I can't even begin to describe how frustrating that is. It even pisses me off that I can't think of a better word that 'frustrated.' This is well beyond frustrating. It is all because I goddamned went to goddamned Mars, along with the other similar activity in space. And because these goddamned criminals such as George W. Bush, Dave Reichert, and Microsoft-Corbis are stealing my identity.
This would have been the red 1967 Ford pickup I "remember" having as my first vehicle. I probably selected it because of a symbolic connection with F-100, which is also a type of engine for fighter jets. The 1967 was because I first flew a fighter jet aircraft by myself in 1967.

Fifth generation (1967–1972)
Another refresh came in 1967 along with a familiar name: the upscale Ranger trim line in addition to the base and Custom Cab trim levels. In 1968, the trucks received larger versions of Ford's FE engine family with the introduction of the 360 and 390 cubic inch engines. The 302 became an option in late '69. The top trim for 1970 was now named Ranger XLT with Ranger, Sport Custom and Custom rounding off the rest of the line. The fifth generation bodies were noted for durability and simplicity of design making them a favorite for restoration.
Some trucks came with an outer flush mounted bed side compartment/tool box on the passenger side only. It could not have one on the driver's side due to the fuel tank taking up the space behind the bed side panel.
The Explorer Special (a trim package), Camper Special (built heavier for a slide in camper), Contractor's Special, Farm and Ranch Special, and Heavy-Duty Special were offered.
The fifth-generation F-series was introduced in Brazil in 1971, which remained in production until 1991 with a slight redesign and changes in its motorizations.
The models are:
F-100: 1/2 ton (5,600 GVWR max)
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pratt_%26_Whitney_F100
The F100 is an afterburning turbofan engine manufactured by Pratt & Whitney which powers the F-15 Eagle and F-16 Fighting Falcon.
Variants
F100-PW-100
Pratt & Whitney was awarded a development contract in 1970 for the engine of the next generation fighter, what became the F-15 Eagle. The F100-PW-100 first flew in an F-15 in 1972 with a thrust of 23,930 lbf. Due to the advanced nature of engine and aircraft numerous problems were encountered in its early days of service including high wear, stalling and "hard" afterburner starts. These "hard" starts could be caused by failure of the afterburner to start or by extinguishing after start, in either case the large jets of jet fuel were lit by the engine exhaust resulting in high pressure waves causing the engine to stall. While early problems have been solved, the engine still has a reputation of being "temperamental" and is still in the USAF fleet to this day.
It is recognized that the F100 was at the cutting edge of current technology, one study [1] by the RAND Corporation places it almost 4 years "ahead of its time."
F100-PW-200
The F-16 Fighting Falcon entered service with the F100-PW-200, with only slight differences from the PW-100. Seeking a way to drive unit costs down the USAF implemented the Alternative Fighter Engine (AFE) program in 1984, under which the engine contract would be awarded through competition. The F-16C/D Block 30/32s were the first to be built with the common engine bay, able to accept the existing engine or the General Electric F110.
The red 1967 Ford was a short-bed model, which is probably because it represents a single-seat F-16 Fighting Falcon. The second vehicle I had was a blue with white cab 1967 Chevrolet pickup with a long-bed so that probably represents the F-14 Tomcat, which is a two-seater.
It was a similar Chevrolet pickup I "remember" driving one time when the roof liner fell on my head and I think that represents a missile exploding over my head when I was flying the F-14 in 1985.
On the date 1/27/2000, Scooter Libby, formerly of Dick Cheney's staff, was 593 months, 5 days, old. Libby - Libyan
Also on the date 1/27/2000, I had been working undercover at Microsoft for 59 weeks, 3 days, having started there on 12/7/1998.
The date 1/27/2000 was 359 days before 1/20/2001, the day George W. Bush and Dick Cheney took office.
The World Trade Center and the Pentagon were attacked on 9/11/2001. That was 33 months, 4 days, after 12/7/1998, the first day of employment for me at Microsoft, as arranged by Microsoft.
The USS Cole DDG-67 was hit by terrorists on 10/12/2000, which was 334 days before the 9/11/2001 attacks.

Plame was ‘covert’ agent at time of name leak
Newly released unclassified document details CIA employment
WASHINGTON - An unclassified summary of outed CIA officer Valerie Plame's employment history at the spy agency, disclosed for the first time today in a court filing by Special Counsel Patrick Fitzgerald, indicates that Plame was "covert" when her name became public in July 2003.
The summary is part of an attachment to Fitzgerald's memorandum to the court supporting his recommendation that I. Lewis "Scooter" Libby, Vice President Cheney's former top aide, spend 2-1/2 to 3 years in prison for obstructing the CIA leak investigation.
The nature of Plame's CIA employment never came up in Libby's perjury and obstruction of justice trial.
Undercover travel
The unclassified summary of Plame's employment with the CIA at the time that syndicated columnist Robert Novak published her name on July 14, 2003 says, "Ms. Wilson was a covert CIA employee for who the CIA was taking affirmative measures to conceal her intelligence relationship to the United States."
Plame worked as an operations officer in the Directorate of Operations and was assigned to the Counterproliferation Division (CPD) in January 2002 at CIA headquarters in Langley, Virginia.
The employment history indicates that while she was assigned to CPD, Plame, "engaged in temporary duty travel overseas on official business." The report says, "she traveled at least seven times to more than ten times." When overseas Plame traveled undercover, "sometimes in true name and sometimes in alias -- but always using cover -- whether official or non-official (NOC) -- with no ostensible relationship to the CIA."
...
'I felt like I had been hit in the gut'
In March at a House of Representatives hearing, Plame testified saying, "My name and identity were carelessly and recklessly abused by senior government officials in both the White house and the State Department"
She described how it felt to see her true identity exposed in the morning paper, her career destroyed she said.
"I felt like I had been hit in the gut, it was over in an instant, I immediately thought of my family's safety."

Valerie Plame
You can't have it both ways.
The woman on the left edge of the photo with her eyes closed makes me think of Valerie Plame. I have been thinking for a while that Plame is connected to me somehow. Either she is just a stand-in for my role in the intelligence community or she got burned as a result of me being burned, as there were probably a lot of other operatives that got burned as a result of the betrayal against me by the Microsoft-Corbis terrorists and their accomplices, including George W. Bush.

Valerie Plame was 34 years, 330 days, old on 3/15/1998.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Valerie_plame
Valerie Plame Wilson (born Valerie Elise Plame April 19, 1963, in Anchorage, Alaska) is a former United States Central Intelligence Agency officer who held non-official cover (NOC) status prior to the public disclosure of her classified covert CIA identity in a syndicated American newspaper column.[1] Her identity was leaked publicly in his column, published on July 14, 2003, by Robert Novak, who identified Mrs. Wilson, the wife of former Ambassador Joseph C. Wilson IV, as "an agency operative on weapons of mass destruction" named "Valerie Plame." Her legal surname, however, has been Wilson since her marriage to Ambassador Wilson in 1998.[2] Ambassador Wilson's Op-Ed critical of the George W. Bush administration published in the New York Times ("What I Didn't Find in Africa") on July 6, 2003, Robert Novak's response to it in his column the next week (July 14), identifying Wilson's wife Valerie Plame as a "CIA operative," and the possible sources of the leaks leading to Novak's disclosure have become subjects of extended controversy. Vice President Dick Cheney's former Chief of Staff I. Lewis "Scooter" Libby has been convicted of four felony counts brought by the United States Department of Justice Office of Special Counsel and the Wilsons have filed a civil suit (Plame v. Cheney) against Libby and Cheney, presidential advisor Karl Rove, and former Deputy Secretary of State Richard Armitage.
In late 2003 the political controversy, referred to as the CIA leak scandal and sometimes as the "Plame affair" or the "Plame scandal," "Plamegate," resulted in the Justice Department referring the FBI investigation to the United States Office of Special Counsel, headed by US Attorney Patrick Fitzgerald, who convened a grand jury to probe alleged violations of criminal statutes, including the Intelligence Identities Protection Act of 1982.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Intelligence_Identities_Protection_Act
The Intelligence Identities Protection Act of 1982 (Pub.L. 97-200, 50 U.S.C. § 421-426) is a United States federal law that makes it a federal crime to intentionally reveal the identity of an agent who one knows to be in or recently in certain covert roles with a U.S. intelligence agency.
The law was written, in part, as a response to several incidents where Central Intelligence Agency agents' identities were revealed. Under then existing law, such disclosures were legal when they did not involve the release of classified information. In 1975, CIA Athens station chief Richard Welch[1] was assassinated by the Greek terrorist group November 17 after his identity was revealed in several listings by a magazine called CounterSpy, edited by Timothy Butz. A local paper checked with CounterSpy to confirm his identity
...
There is an ongoing investigation being conducted by prosecutor Patrick Fitzgerald into whether this law and others were violated in the identification of Valerie Plame as a CIA operative in a 2003 newspaper column by Robert Novak. [3] Former Vice Presidential chief of staff I. Lewis Libby was convicted on two counts of perjury, one count of obstruction of justice and one count of making false statements to federal investigators. [4] However, these charges were not made under the Intelligence Identities Protection Act. Other figures involved in the investigation include White House deputy chief of staff Karl Rove, and reporters Bob Woodward, Judith Miller and Matthew Cooper. The matter of whether Plame's identity was covered under the act is still under debate; some claim that she wasn't assigned overseas within 5 years of her "outing", but David Corn and Michael Isikoff have reported that she was. Either way it did identify Plame as an employees of the CIA front company the Brewster Jennings & Associates, and so revealed the identities of other CIA agents "employed" there

Theodore Bikel (born 2 May 1924, age 83) is a versatile character actor, born in Vienna, Austria. A master of languages, dialects, and accents, he often plays ethnic roles, such as a German officer and Serbian king. In 1990, he appeared on Star Trek: The Next Generation, playing Sergey Rozhenko, the Russian adoptive father of Worf, in the episode "Family".

Georgia Brown (21 October 1933 – 5 July 1992, age 58) was the actress who portrayed Helena Rozhenko, foster mother of Worf and grandmother of Alexander, in the Next Generation episodes "Family" and "New Ground".
I haven't seen the movie, "American Beauty" or heard anything about it, but I started looking at it today because the title makes me think of my wife and I wondered if there were some clues about her in it. As I was reading through the description of the plot of "American Beauty," I remembered a day at Microsoft when Rhonda Halffman said something to me about going to a shooting range and I wondered why she was saying that to me. I also wonder about Chris Cooper's role in the movie, as he was a Colonel. He recently portrayed the traitor Hanssen in "Breach." I've tried to think more about it, but I find it very difficult to concentrate.

The Osirak strike of 6/7/1981 was 59 months, 3 days, after 7/4/1976. I assume I scheduled that strike for that day just for that reason. For someone that is supposed to be smart, it is incredible to realize that I did something so incredibly stupid as scheduling the strike for that particular day. It was 7/4/1976 when I believe I exploded the comet that was going to strike Earth at some point.
There is also that observation I made about the assassination attempt on President Reagan. Of the period from when he took office to the strike on Osirak, the assassination attempt was precisely in the middle.
From 1/20/1981 to 3/30/1981 is: 69 days
From 3/30/1981 to 6/7/1981 is: 69 days
So how did that factor in? Was that assassination attempt a pre-emptive strike against President Reagan because they knew I was going to bomb Osirak? Or did I chose 6/7/1981 to bomb Osirak because we knew that Saddam was behind the assassination attempt on President Reagan?
Rodger Claire's "Raid On The Sun" suggested that the strike was originally planned for May 10th, so if that is true, then that would mean something. It was probably delayed because I was injured after falling out of the space shuttle on 4/14/1981. Then with the assassination attempt on President Reagan, we might have decided to schedule for that 59-3 connection, which resulted in the 6/7/1981 date. That still just seems like an incredibly stupid move to make though. I can't believe I would do something so stupid as schedule the strike for that particular day. I have symbolic memories, though, that convince me I was there for that strike. And that was why I was shot down in 1986 and was a POW in Libya. I recognize the date 11/25/1986 as when they had a funeral for me because they thought I had been killed on 4/14/1986 when the Libyan prison I was being held in was bombed by the U.S. Navy. I was being tortured because my captors knew I was President Reagan's grandson and because I had led the strike on Osirak in 1981. They were torturing me and showing it all on video to President Reagan.

Travelling Wilburys › Handle With Care
Been beat up and battered round
Been sent up, and Ive been shot down
Youre the best thing that Ive ever found
Handle me with care
Reputations changeable
Situations tolerable
Baby, youre adorable
Handle me with care
(chorus)
Im so tired of being lonely
I still have some love to give
Wont you show me that you really care

Everybodys got somebody to lean on
Put your body next to mine, and dream on
Ive been fobbed off, and Ive been fooled
Ive been robbed and ridiculed
In day care centers and night schools
Handle me with care
Been stuck in airports, terrorized
Sent to meetings, hypnotized
Overexposed, commercialized
Hand me with care

Ive been uptight and made a mess
But Ill clean it up myself, I guess
Oh, the sweet smell of success

Georgia Brown (21 October 1933 – 5 July 1992, age 58) was the actress who portrayed Helena Rozhenko, foster mother of Worf and grandmother of Alexander, in the Next Generation episodes "Family" and "New Ground".
I haven't seen the movie, "American Beauty" or heard anything about it, but I started looking at it today because the title makes me think of my wife and I wondered if there were some clues about her in it. As I was reading through the description of the plot of "American Beauty," I remembered a day at Microsoft when Rhonda Halffman said something to me about going to a shooting range and I wondered why she was saying that to me. I also wonder about Chris Cooper's role in the movie, as he was a Colonel. He recently portrayed the traitor Hanssen in "Breach." I've tried to think more about it, but I find it very difficult to concentrate.

AQD
There is also something that has puzzled me about the similarity of the U.S. Navy AQD code and the Al Qaeda terrrorist group.
I sense that is part of the Microsoft-Corbis terrorist set up. I'm not sure about the letter 'D' though. But it could be because the 'D' is the 4th letter of the alphabet. The terrorist group is a real concern for those of us faithfully serving in the U.S. government, unlike George W. Bush and his terrorist accomplices. I believe he and his accomplices have only been helping the Al Qaeda terrorists by promoting their cause. There are probably a lot of extremists who had not heard of Al Qaeda until George W. Bush started preaching about them and then those extremists took up their cause. And George W. Bush was doing all that to deflect attention away from the terrorists in control of Microsoft-Corbis.
In the social security number for my official federal undercover identity, the middle number sequence is '17' which is the number of "Q" in the alphabet. In the primary speciality field of the DD-214 for my official federal undercover identity, subtracting 59 produces the billet code 1130. That means I am a regular commissioned U.S. Navy officer with U.S. Navy SEAL qualification.
In other words, I am a official federal undercover agent with the rank of U.S. Navy Captain (O-6), my billet number is 1130, and my AQD code is QE1 or QF1.

DURAN DURAN LYRICS
"New Moon On Monday"
Shake up the picture the lizard mixture
With your dance on the eventide
You got me coming up with answers
All of which I deny
I said it again
Could I please rephrase it
Maybe I can catch a ride
I couldn't really put it much plainer
But I'll wait till you decide
Send me your warning siren
As if I could ever hide
Last time La Luna
[CHORUS]
I light my torch and wave it for the
New moon on Monday
And a firedance through the night
I stayed the cold day with a lonely satellite
Breaking away with the best of both worlds
A smile that you can't disguise
Every minute I keep finding
Clues that you leave behind
Save me from these reminders
As if I'd forget tonight
This time La Luna
[CHORUS]
Family
The Picard family shield of arms, on the cover of the Picard family album.
The "Family" episode premiered 3 years, 4.59 months after 5/13/1987, reminding me of my 3/4/1959 birthday in my father's homeland. I recognize the date 5/13/1987 as when I completed my escape from Africa after being shot down by anti-anticraft fire to become a POW of Libya. After about two months in that Libyan prison, I escaped into the desert, working my way south and living off the land of Africa for over a year until I made it out.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Family_%28TNG_episode%29
"Family" was the second episode of the fourth season of Star Trek: The Next Generation. This episode takes place several weeks after the Borg attack on Earth shown in the episode "The Best of Both Worlds".
Synopsis
In this episode the Enterprise-D is docked at Earth Station McKinley, undergoing repairs and refitting after being seriously damaged by the Borg. During the repairs many of the crew are either visiting family or receiving visits from family members.
Jean-Luc Picard is still recovering after the physical and mental traumas inflicted on him by the Borg. Having made considerable progress with the help of Doctor Crusher and Deanna Troi, he decides to visit his family home, a vineyard run by his older brother Robert in France. Picard meets his nephew and his brother's wife, who he had remained in correspondence with during his Starfleet career. A friend of the family tries to interest Picard in heading the Atlantis project, a research facility under construction on the ocean floor.

I've written several times of this experience in terms of that Star Trek:TNG episode where Capt. Picard is assimilated by the Borg. While I do not consider myself a "Trekkie", I like the Star Trek series because I am a fan in general of science fiction, and because I like any good story that captures my imagination. There was a follow-on episode to those episodes of where Picard is captured and it was titled "Family." While I typically like the episodes with more action, I always get a kick out this episode because Picard's brother reminded me so much of my sister, in terms of obvious sibling rivalry. I also found myself envying Picard's character for being able to go back to a home like that, where he has roots. I was watching a movie a few months ago based on John McCain's POW experiences and I was thinking of how a lot of it seemed similar. I was most interested in what it was like for him to come back home after his 6 years in captivity but the movie seemed kind of light there. I also found myself envying McCain for his family, especially not only being third-generation Navy but a family of notable service to the Navy.
The original air date of this episode was October 1990, and my formal discharge from the Navy was May 1990. I'm not sure when I actually watched this episode though; probably around the 1994 time-frame. It reminds me of a pivotal point back in 1990. I was leaving the Navy and I had absolutely no idea what I was going to do. I had spent the last 6 months overseas so there had been no way to even do any interviews until I was actually out of the service. As luck would have it, a buddy of mine, who I had worked with on the USS Wainwright, recommended me to a company he was interviewing with and I got that job. I got out of the Navy on a Friday and I was working there that next Monday. Coincidentally, the same thing had happened six years earlier where I graduated high school on Friday and was in Navy boot camp the next Monday.
Synopsis
After taking the U.S.S. Enterprise to an Earth-orbiting spacedock for repairs, Picard, still recovering from the injuries he suffered at the hands of the Borg, returns for the first time in twenty years to the 19th century French village where he grew up. He is greeted warmly by his sister-in-law and nephew, both of whom he has never met. However, his meeting with his older brother Robert, who feels that Picard is arrogant, is filled with animosity.
[...]
Back in his village, Picard receives an offer from an old friend to head a project on Earth, and is shocked to find himself seriously considering the job. While Picard anguishes over the decision, his brother seizes the opportunity to torment him, telling him he has changed from the unflappable achiever he once was. The argument leads to a brawl that eventually leaves the sibling rivals laughing and covered in mud. They share a tender moment as Picard reveals the guilt he feels over his inability to fight the Borg after they kidnapped him.
As the U.S.S. Enterprise prepares to depart, it is apparent that more than just the starship was repaired. Worf shares a final tender moment with his parents, Wesley says goodbye to a father he finally feels he knows, and Picard, reconciled with his brother, begins his psychological recovery from his trauma with the Borg.

Family
I had never given much thought to my family history, to the genealogy of the name Burgess. I didn't have the typical (whatever that is) family life growing up. I didn't know my father very well. He was killed in 1985 when I was out to sea. I was just getting old enough to start thinking about asking him why he was never around. I feel close to my mother and sister but I haven't been in contact with them for a while. With all the weird stuff going on, I certainly don't want to get them involved. The nature of the media presence I sense is just too much, none of us have the experience or knowledge to deal with something like that. I wish I could see them all again soon, and my grandfather, whom I really miss.
So anyway, a few months ago, as I was searching the internet for clues, I found a family tree for Burgess. It starts with William Burgess who I guess would be the first American Burgess and then ends with the 6th generation, which includes my paternal grandfather, and would make me the 8th generation. I thought this was very interesting, and I certainly admire all the hard work it must have taken to put something like this together. Later I tried connecting a person named Colonel Burgess from the 1600's to the William Burgess of 1760 but it is pretty tough to find that kind of information.
I think that never really having what I perceived as the normal family when I grew up is what makes it harder for me to settle down. I guess I am afraid of not being able to create the kind of family I want to have. My only real long-term experience with marriage is just that it ends at some point. I have no idea what a family is supposed to be. I care about my mom and sister because we grew up together and went through a lot together. But I think about my future and reading through that family tree just solidified the thoughts I had been having for a long time. What is my contribution to all this? The lineage doesn't end with me, but still what do I contribute to it? Does my story end with the actions of my life? Or will I have offspring of my own to continue our part of the name?
I could have offspring of my own if I wanted to. But why? To become my own father? No, if I have kids, I want to do it right and, while just being a good father is no assurance of raising good kids - I guess - I don't want to raise kids just to let them fend for themselves. I have also heard people say they weren't in love when they got married and that is probably the single point of difference from me. I have always insisted to myself that we are both in love before getting married. But then I grew worried that, while I may be in love, how do I know she is in love with me or that she just sees me as a "donor, as I used to worry. I worried about women that were marrying for kids instead of for love. For me, there was an order to it. You fell in love, you got married, then maybe, probably, you had kids. That was absolutely the only way it was going to happen with me.
And I often worried about how I don't have the first clue about raising kids. Or maybe I do. I don't know. I know they should be good role models. But what do I know about role models? The role models from my early youth were Superman and Batman. Superman I liked and wanted to be because I knew no one could hurt us if I had the strength of Superman. Batman I liked because he was smart. I liked both of them because they were loners for the most part, especially Batman. Superman had Lois Lane, but it was more of a fantasy than a real relationship. Batman was just angry at the world and he didn't want to depend on anyone, although he felt obligated to help the people he could help.
So anyway, if I was a super-hero, I would probably feel comfortable raising kids myself, but that is just a lot of responsibility for a mortal.

I was feeling especially homesick this day last year. It is quite remarkable when I look back and see what I wrote considering what I am now thinking. But it also reminds me of unpleasant reality too. It was only a few days later that they kicked me out of here to the Pioneer Square gulag. I didn’t protest that much because, well, my head was still pretty screwed from almost dying... I figured I would be in Pioneer Square for a week at most because all this craziness would surely end. So anyway, what this reminds me of most was a comment one of the zombies made when I was in there. I was either sitting in the cafeteria or walking through it and I heard a zombie make a derogatory comment I associated with this blog entry from last year. He said something about someone that was full of envy. I hear people saying stuff like that all the time. Everybody around me is constantly deceiving me.
http://memory-alpha.org/en/wiki/Picard_family
The Picard family is a French family with strong ties to Spain and France.
The history of this family dates back several centuries and is kept in a leather-bound family album that has been passed down in the Picard family for generations. Picard claimed the family could trace its roots back to the time of Charlemagne in the 8th century in western Europe. (TNG: "Journey's End")
When being raised, young Picards are always taught about the great Picards in their history, often to the point of feeling that they have to live up to someone's standards. Some of the more accomplished Picards include the Picard who won the Nobel Prize for Chemistry, the one who commanded a French warship at the Battle of Trafalgar, or the ones who settled the first Martian colonies. (Star Trek Generations)
The Picard vineyards, located in La Barre, France, is well known for its wine production, notably for their Chateau Picard vintage. There is also some relation to Chateau La Barre. (TNG: "Family", "All Good Things...")
Not many of the Picards were explorers or space-faring people, in fact, Jean-Luc Picard was the first in the family to leave the Sol system. (Star Trek Nemesis)
http://memory-alpha.org/en/wiki/Maurice_Picard
Maurice Picard was a Human man, a native of La Barre, France. He was the husband of Yvette Gessard and father of Robert and Jean-Luc Picard. He continued the family business of winemaking under the Chateau Picard label.

The actress who portrayed "Picard's" sister-in-law is 19 years, 11 months, 26 days, older than me. That forms Ronald Reagan's birthday of 2/6/1911.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jane_Wyman
Jane Wyman (born Sarah Jane Fulks on January 5, 1917 in Saint Joseph, Missouri)[1] is an Academy Award-winning, Golden Globe-winning and Emmy-nominated American actress also known for being the first wife of president Ronald Reagan.
...
In 1938, Wyman co-starred with Ronald Reagan in Brother Rat (1938), and its sequel Brother Rat and a Baby (1940). The two were married (her second or third marriage, and his first) on January 26, 1940, and divorced on June 28, 1948. She and Reagan had three children; Maureen Elizabeth Reagan (1941 - 2001), Michael Reagan (adopted, born March 18, 1945), and Christine Reagan (born and died June 26, 1947).
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Falcon_Crest
Falcon Crest was an American primetime television soap opera, primarily about the feuding factions of the wealthy Gioberti family in the Californian wine industry. The series was set in the fictitious Tuscany Valley (in reality the Napa Valley) just north of San Francisco. It aired on the CBS network for 9 seasons as a midseason replacement, from December 4th, 1981 to May 17th, 1990, and 227 episodes were made in total. Reruns of the show aired on SOAPnet, a decade after its demise. The show starred Academy Award-winner Jane Wyman as evil matriarch, Angela Channing, who almost appeared in every episode of the series, veteran character actor Robert Foxworth as Chase Gioberti, and Ana-Alicia as Melissa Agretti, the scheming ruler of Tuscany Valley, who came near the end of the first season, and became popular with viewers.

Mel Gibson's listed birthday is 3 years, 59 days, before 3/3/1959.
The date listed for Patrick Stewart's birthday is 7/13/1940.
The date listed for Bruce Willis's birthday is 3/19/1955.
From 7/13/1940 to 3/19/1955 is: 5362 days
5362 * 0.3359 = 1801 days
From 3/3/1959 to 2/6/1964 is: 1801 days
I was 59 months, 3 days, old on 2/6/1964.
I made some other observations about Tom Hanks and George Clooney's birthdays but I think there is something else that I haven't remembered yet. There is also the notion that if I am the 4th of 7 siblings, then I am the middle sibling. 1-2-3--[4]--5-6-7
Bruce Willis married Demi Moore the day after this film premiered. The day before was 359 days after 11/25/1986. And since I was going to marry Phoebe, whom I greatly loved, she would become a princess as a result, if I have this figured out correctly. That would apply to Demi Moore as well. Technically, at least, I don't know if......something.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Date_with_an_Angel
Date with an Angel is an American film which was released in 1987, starring Emmanuelle Béart and Michael E. Knight. The romantic fantasy/comedy was an updated reworking of the 1942 film I Married an Angel and released by De Laurentiis Entertainment Group. The film was written and directed by Tom McLoughlin. The original music score was composed by Randy Kerber. The film was marketed with the tagline "Jim is about to marry a princess... but he's in love with an angel."
Now this is very interesting. It is a pattern that links Demi Moore, Phoebe, and I, presumably because I had been missing in Africa in 1986 and it reflects that I was going to, or had already, married Phoebe. I think it is one of those clues you have to look for to find. It seems improbable at first, but who is to say when Demi Moore's birthday was established. Another variable is that her birthday is specifically why they were married. There could be other variables I don't remember yet. I was probably working on this as I was recovering following my 5/13/1987 and I was searching for such a relationship of the date to reflect my love for Phoebe. At first, I thought it would be a similar clue to the Duran Duran "Astronaut" but that only works for 3/20/1986, which was my 34th day of 59 days of captivity, where 59 times 0.593 equals 34.
From 11/11/1962 to 7/16/1963 is: 247 days
From 3/23/1986 to 11/25/1986 is: 247 days
From 3/23/1986 to 5/13/1987 is: 59 weeks and 3 days
From 3/3/1959 to 11/5/1965 is: 2439 days
2439 * 0.3459 = 843
From 7/16/1963 to 11/5/1965 is: 843 days

What is the goddamned point any more of keeping us apart?
Why do we have to stay apart?
There is just no goddamned good reason for us to have to stay apart!!!
It is over!! There is no reason for us to stay apart!!!
Gil Gerard was 33 years, 5 months, 9 days, old on 7/2/1976, according to his birthdate listed in this article. I recognize the date 7/2/1976 as when I arrived at the comet, which I then diverted from impacting the Earth.
I have artificial memories of this episode and of Thedia saying something about him back in the context of my artificial memories, so that must mean something more than the obvious.

Gilbert Gerard, better known as Gil Gerard (January 23, 1943) is an American actor. Born in Little Rock, Arkansas, he is most famous for his role as Captain William "Buck" Rogers in the 1979-1981 television series Buck Rogers in the 25th Century. He was married to Connie Sellecca (1979 - 1987)

Gil Gerard
Date of Birth: 23 January 1943
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Buck_Rogers_in_the_25th_Century_%28TV_series%29
Original run 20 September 1979 – 16 April 1981
Buck Rogers in the 25th Century is an American motion picture produced by Universal Studios and released in 1979, and is also the title of a television series based upon the film that was aired by NBC for two seasons between 1979 and 1981.
The film and series were based upon the Buck Rogers character that had been featured in comic strips and novellas since the 1920s.
Nobody goddamned talks to me. They just talk around me. I realized I was doing it, too. I quit talking to the people that were in front of me and I was talking to the people that were secretly listening to me talking.
It has probably been 10 goddamned years since I had a normal conversation. Every body talks to me like I would expect they would talk to me as a Commanding Officer or a CEO.
If I could just have a normal conversation with my wife. It doesn't really matter how she talks to me. something....something else. Anything she says to me is good. Normal
And peers. I haven't had a conversation with peers in 10 years.
But imagine all this stuff I have written of is true. For example, of all that stuff, imagine just that I am the first man to go to Mars. I am convinced everything else is true, perhaps a few minor details are off, but just imagine that I am the first man on Mars. Then understand that the first man to Mars is hopelessly in love with Phoebe, my wife. You're quite special Phoebe. My mind might be a scrambled crossword puzzle, but that fact remains. You will always be most special to me.
I wonder how Phoebe would feel to be around me when I still can't consciously remember her? We are married, though, so should it matter? I believe she is my wife and that I love her. What else matters?
I can't remember the vows we took, but I am pretty sure it would have included something about for better or worse. I might not remember the precise words, but I believe we made some vows and that I am committed to her. I believe she feels the same way. I just don't know why we are apart.
But the thought occurred to me that it is not her decision. It's possible the doctors that produced this memory suppression are worried about causing some kind of mental damage if I get......something. I don't know.
But I think she.....something. I believe she is my wife and I think that would be good enough for her.
It sure as hell doesn't help that we have to live apart and to have to love each other in secrecy. When the hell did we have any secrecy though.
This release date was precisely 3 years, 5.9 months after 4/12/1981, the date of the first space shuttle launch.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Shout_%28Devo_album%29
Released October 9, 1984
Shout is a 1984 album by the New Wave rock band Devo. It was their 6th and final album for Warner Bros. Records. Keeping with the synth-pop sound of their last few records, Shout sounds very much of its time. Despite the popularity of synth-pop in 1984, the album was a critical and commercial failure, and ultimately led to Warner Bros. Records dropping the band. Following its release, the band went on hiatus for four years.
One of Shout's best-known tracks is "Are U Experienced?", a Jimi Hendrix cover that carried on the Devo tradition of 'mutating' famous songs which began with 1978's "(I Can't Get No) Satisfaction". Ironically, the cover was marginally more accessible and danceable than the heavily experimental Hendrix track, perhaps harkening to the idea of "de-evolution" through its return to a more conventional sound. Many believe this to be a smart move on the band's part considering the trouble with Warner Bros. Records at the time ("Are You Experienced?" being a 'sacred cow' of the WB catalog). As well as that Hendrix song, the chorus melody of Hendrix's "Third Stone from the Sun" is transformed into a guitar solo partway through the piece. The track "The 4th Dimension" incorporates the guitar hook from The Beatles' song "Day Tripper".
Something about this song in the context of recent times. I just can't put my finger on what.

Here To Go
If you smell the smoke
You dont need to be told
What you got to do
Yet theres a certain breed
So very in between
Theyd rather take a vote
Running short on time
Still they cant decide
But we already know
That we are here to go
We are here to go
We are here to go
We are here to go
We are here to go
What is really mine
Whos at the top of the pile
Where does he draw the line
Let them figure it out
Go on and step across
Just remind yourself
That we are here to go
When it grows too long
The tail wags the dog
The hand that bites gets fed
Troubled multiply
The crowd begins to cry
For some common sense
Let them all dig in
When the odds are no win
Head for the nearest door
cause we are here to go
Go!

Mike Johanns - U.S. Secretary of Agriculture
He was 3 days, 34 weeks, 35 years, old on 2/14/1986.
334-35
There is the notion of the '35' and I still am not sure what it means precisely, but I think it has something to do with me leading the strike on the Osirak facility in Iraq on 6/7/1981. I think I went back on 6/8/1981 to bomb it again and was subsequently shot down after that second strike. Unlike in 1986 where I was held as prisoner in Libya, I escaped from Iraq after being shot down in 1981.
This notion of agriculture could also reflect something about burying someone in the ground.
Michael Owen Johanns (born June 18, 1950) is an American Republican politician. A former Governor of Nebraska, he serves as the 28th, and current, U.S. Secretary of Agriculture.
...
On December 2, 2004, Johanns was nominated by President George W. Bush to replace outgoing Secretary of Agriculture Ann Veneman. As a result, he scrapped plans to run against Democratic Senator Ben Nelson in 2006. Johanns was confirmed by the United States Senate on January 20, 2005, hours after Bush's second inauguration. He tendered his resignation as Governor of Nebraska on that day. On the next day he was sworn in.
Johanns is married to Stephanie Johanns, a former Lancaster County Commissioner and Nebraska State Senator. They have two children.
From 1/3/2000 to 12/2/2004 is: 4 years, 334 days
USS The Sullivans (DDG-68), an Arleigh Burke-class "Aegis" guided missile destroyer, was the second ship of the United States Navy to be named for the five Sullivan brothers — George, Francis, Joseph, Madison, and Albert Sullivan, aged 19 to 27 — who lost their lives when their ship, USS Juneau, was sunk by a Japanese submarine in November 1942 in the Naval Battle of Guadalcanal. This was the greatest military loss by any one American family during World War II.
...
Members of al-Qaeda attempted an attack on The Sullivans on January 3, 2000 as a part of the 2000 millennium attack plots. The plan was to load a boat full of explosives and explode near The Sullivans's hull. However the boat was so overladen that it sank, forcing the attack to be cancelled. Later, al-Qaida tried the same type of attack a second time. They successfully bombed Cole on 12 October 2000.

World-class blunder
Those terrorist attacks on the USS Cole DDG-67, the World Trade Center, and the Pentagon, were timed to point to when I started at Microsoft and to reflect the 3-3-4 artistic device I have used all these years. But then Microsoft-Corbis and George W. Bush freaked out when they realized what a world-class blunder they had made. Sure, the attacks pointed to me and the 3-3-4's but I wasn't the one who chose the start date that became the basis for those clues. It was all constructed by Microsoft-Corbis, with the protection of Al Qaeda operative George W. Bush.

Mob rule.
The goddamned FBI has been corrupted by Microsoft-Corbis. The executive leadership has become completely corrupted by the racketeers. That is why I can't go home.
3-3-4
I read that Phoebe has an older sister named Valerie. Maybe that is why I "remember" going out with Valerie Voyer from First Federal. She was a loan officer, I think. I "remember" that I took her to see Costner's "Robin Hood." I also "remember" something about her telling me about the movie "Jacob's Ladder." I imagine these are actually all details about Phoebe and me.
It might be important that I took Valerie out on three dates but I never slept with her. I never even kissed her. She told me that I kept her out passed her bedtime, but that was the closest we got to talking about sex, which really isn't even anything, other than it just made me think of being in bed with her.
I think the first date, I took her to Stax Peppermill in Greenville. But I think I may have thinking of Melody Barber when we were there because I had taken her there before. I liked Valerie but I liked Melody more. So I don't know how that relates to Phoebe. Melody would most certainly be Phoebe, in the notional sense of music, but then who was Valerie?
Phoebe was 334 months, 4 weeks, 1 day, old when that movie premiered, forming a 334-41 clue.

Release Date: 14 June 1991 (USA)
Holly Hunter was 334 months, 3 weeks, 4 days, old on 2/14/1986. Holly Hunter portrays the wife of the character George Clooney portrays in "O Brother Where Art Thou?" The relationship of George Clooney's birthday and the US premiere date, when compared to my wife's birthday forms a 3-3-3 clue. I thought this movie was very funny and I think the notion to it, relative to George Clooney's portrayal, is when I was a Prisoner of War in Libya in 1986.
From 5/6/1961 to 12/22/2000 is: 14475 days

I haven't seen this movie, but I reviewed it because Bruce Willis looks similar to me on that promo photo. There is also that notion I think of when I see it that George W. Bush has sold me out because his family is nothing but a bunch of crooks and hanger-on's. He got caught stealing from me and he sold me out.

Release date(s) March 11, 2005
Hostage is a 2005 action/thriller movie which was directed by Florent Emilio Siri. The film was based on a novel by Robert Crais, and was adapted for the screen by Doug Richardson.

Based on the age of Joseph Wayne Burgess, my father in my artificial and symbolic memory, who was buried in Morrison Cemetery in Noble County, Oklahoma, I assume that I began my official federal undercover identity on 6/28/1998.
My first day at Microsoft on 12/7/1998 was arranged by Microsoft. I can't remember the precise day they arranged for my interviews, but looking at the calendar, I think it was 19 November 1998. I didn't even contact anyone at Microsoft about employment; rather a Microsoft employee contacted me and suggested I come to work for Microsoft. I needed the work so I went through with the interviews. Microsoft chose my first day of employment as 12/7/1998. Not only is that date known as Pearl Harbor Day in the U.S., it was also the day Bill Gates commented in the newspapers that the U.S. federal government was out to destroy Microsoft.
On the date 1/27/2000, Scooter Libby, formerly of Dick Cheney's staff, was 593 months, 5 days, old. Libby - Libyan
Also on the date 1/27/2000, I had been working undercover at Microsoft for 59 weeks, 3 days, having started there on 12/7/1998.
The date 1/27/2000 was 359 days before 1/20/2001, the day George W. Bush and Dick Cheney took office.
The World Trade Center and the Pentagon were attacked on 9/11/2001. That was 33 months, 4 days, after 12/7/1998, the first day of employment for me at Microsoft, as arranged by Microsoft.
The USS Cole DDG-67 was hit by terrorists on 10/12/2000, which was 334 days before the 9/11/2001 attacks.
This aircraft has 3-3-4 in the tail number:
American Airlines Flight 11 was the first flight hijacked in the September 11, 2001 attacks. It was an American Airlines flight aboard a Boeing 767-223ER aircraft, registration number N334AA
When I read about this hijacked aircraft, I recognized the Microsoft employee ID 75612 that Microsoft assigned to me on 12/7/1998, which was 33 months, 4 days, before 9/11/2001:
Flight 175
Tail number N612UA
United Airlines Flight 175 was a morning flight that regularly flew from Logan International Airport in East Boston, Massachusetts to Los Angeles International Airport (LAX) in Los Angeles, California (Boston–Los Angeles route). On September 11, 2001, the United Airlines Boeing 767-222, registered N612UA
This aircraft had the '591' in the registration number on the tail:
United Airlines Flight 93 was a regular flight from Newark International Airport (now known as Newark Liberty International Airport) in Newark, New Jersey, to San Francisco International Airport, then continuing on to Narita International Airport in Tokyo, Japan, on a different aircraft. On September 11, 2001, the United Airlines Boeing 757-222, registered N591UA
The pilot of Flight 77 that went into the Pentagon was 3459 days older than I am.
From 9/12/1949 to 3/3/1959 is: 3459 days
Charles Frank "Chic" Burlingame III (September 12, 1949 - September 11, 2001) was the pilot of American Airlines Flight 77, the aircraft that was crashed by terrorists into the Pentagon during the September 11, 2001 attacks.
Essentially, this was all, with the assistance of terrorist accomplice George W. Bush, a plan to blackmail my intellectual property rights. If I complained about Microsoft's criminal activities, their terrorist-accomplice lawyers, such as Brad Smith, would reveal all this terrorist activity they created to try to sway a jury and public opinion against me. It has something to do with a legal concept known as jury nullification, I am thinking. None of the details I described above, such as the details about those 9/11 jets, would have been noticed by the casual observer. It was all a trap the Microsoft-corbis terrorists, including accomplice George W. Bush, were going to spring on me at their trial.
It might be important that I took Valerie out on three dates but I never slept with her. I never even kissed her. She told me that I kept her out passed her bedtime, but that was the closest we got to talking about sex, which really isn't even anything, other than it just made me think of being in bed with her.

What a great dream. Phoebe saw me drive back to where she was waiting for a bus and she didn't just walk up to me; she ran up to me. She didn't want me to give her a ride though to where she was going and she told me something about how this would all be over soon. I was stomping on the brake of my 1967 blue Chevrolet to try to get it to stop, but it would not. I think that was when she actually said it would all stop soon. I explained that I have this happen to me in dreams sometimes, where I can't get my vehicle to stop no matter how hard I stand on the brakes and I think she smiled. Probably because I was describing something that happens to me in dreams while I was dreaming. There is another aspect to this part of our conversation that I can't articulate. And thinking back to that dream just makes me miss her incredibly. The dream was set in the past but how I want to see her in the present. In another dream, I think I was on the set of "Fast Times" as she was acting for her scenes. There is something about her being glad I was there. I think I wore my uniform. There was another dream that seems to be in the gulag but I don't recognize any of those images and I don't understand what it all means.
05/27/07 4:21 AM
There are other details I remember from that dream. Details that Phoebe told me in the dream, but I am afraid it won't come true. It happens a lot. Another day; nothing happens.
05/27/07 4:31 AM
She was dressed just like this in that dream:

I hate to even look at the screen captures from any of those movies. Makes me so goddamned lonely!!!!
05/27/07 4:37 AM
It stands to reason that all of my long-term memories connect somehow to her. If we weren't together, there probably wasn't a day went by since 1981 that I did not miss her.
05/27/07 4:40 AM
If I just concentrate hard enough, I should be able to actually remember her.
I have also been wondering if she was the first woman that I actually felt jealous about. Until then, if another woman did something I didn't like, I could just replace her. I hope she doesn't try to use that against me. I think women actually like to make men jealous because it shows they care. I hope she doesn't feel that need to make me feel that way.
05/27/07 4:46 AM
She probably has her own insecurities because I am in such high demand in my real life. I hate to even acknowledge that reality to her because I don't want her to feel bad. But it is her I go back to from these nightmares. It is her and it always will be. There is no one else and never will be.
05/27/07 4:52 AM
Considering all the nightmares I have seen, it is an understatement of epic proportions to say that she must be quite special to me.
05/27/07 4:55 AM
I cannot even begin to describe how goddamned pissed off I am at having to be apart from her for over 9 years!!!! AND I STILL DON'T GODDAMNED KNOW WHEN I WILL GET TO GO BACK HOME TO HER!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Something is so familiar about this photo every time I see it:

GODDAMNIT!!!! WHY CAN'T I GO HOME!!!!!!!!
FUCK YOU GODDAMN STINKING PAPARAZZI MOTHERFUCKERS!!!!!!!!!!!!!
05/27/07 5:19 AM
There are also elements that show her love for me, but I guess I don't like writing much about that because I am scared of losing her. I would probably talk with her personally about my thoughts, but when we are apart, I feel more fear that I could lose her and.......something.
The person I “remember” as Thedia Newman’s father was born 59 years, 8 months, 2 weeks, before the first launch of the space shuttle on 4/12/1981. I guess that is a clue designed to reflect that I was on that flight and that I was attending the U.S. Naval Academy with the Class of 1982, at the time.

wasted optimism
JOURNAL ARCHIVE: Sleep journal 2/16/06
I dreamt a lot lately, but end up not remembering very much. The only dream segment I remember has a navy uniform theme to it. I just remember something about wearing the uniform and something about wearing the E-9 insignia. In the latest one, I remember something about an officer informing me that the recommended me for a high-profile military academy. But since I am too old now to attend someplace like Annapolis, the scenario may have occurred in the past, especially because sometimes I see things that suggest several officer paygrade, with LCDR the highest rank I have seen myself associated with.
I'm not when this started, or whether I saw it in a dream, but I've had these ideas about something Microsoft is up to. Recently I wrote that Microsoft is 'possibly' the culprit in all this, but then I realized that it is highly likely they are responsible, they just have thousands of lawyers sitting around thinking up ways to obstruct justice so this thing never gets resolved. I started thinking that the government was trying to resolve, but Microsoft hoisted their Jolly Roger flag and sailed into the fog after making me walk the plank. I am thinking now something about Microsoft, maybe even Bill Gates personally, threatening to move Microsoft out of the country for some reason, I guess if the government forces them to stop obstructing justice. The impact would mean all those people on campus would lose their jobs and then that would have a ripple impact. If Microsoft is really making a threat like that, I think it is highly deplorable to use those people as human shields. It sounds like something someone from the Khaddafi School of Business Leadership would do.

Which a grove of myrtles made,
Beasts did leap, and birds did sing,
Trees did grow, and plants did spring;
Every thing did banish moan,
Save the nightingale alone:
She, poor bird, as all forlorn,
Lean'd her breast up-till a thorn
And there sung the dolefull'st ditty,
That to hear it was great pity:
'Fie, fie, fie,' now would she cry;
'Tereu, tereu!' by and by;
That to hear her so complain,
Scarce I could from tears refrain;
For her griefs, so lively shown,
Made me think upon mine own.
Ah, thought I, thou mourn'st in vain!
None takes pity on thy pain:
Senseless trees they cannot hear thee;
Ruthless beasts they will not cheer thee:
King Pandion he is dead;
All thy friends are lapp'd in lead;
All thy fellow birds do sing,
Careless of thy sorrowing.
Even so, poor bird, like thee,
None alive will pity me.
Whilst as fickle Fortune smiled,
Thou and I were both beguiled.
Every one that flatters thee
Is no friend in misery.
Words are easy, like the wind;
Faithful friends are hard to find:
Every man will be thy friend
Whilst thou hast wherewith to spend;
But if store of crowns be scant,
No man will supply thy want.
If that one be prodigal,
Bountiful they will him call,
And with such-like flattering,
'Pity but he were a king;'
If he be addict to vice,
Quickly him they will entice;
If to women he be bent,
They have at commandement:
But if Fortune once do frown,
Then farewell his great renown
They that fawn'd on him before
Use his company no more.
He that is thy friend indeed,
He will help thee in thy need:
If thou sorrow, he will weep;
If thou wake, he cannot sleep;
Thus of every grief in heart
He with thee doth bear a part.
These are certain signs to know
Faithful friend from flattering foe.
I don't remember when I first read this. But it sure resonates with me. It is even ironic the part about May. If I'm not mistaken, it was May 31 when I gave up my apartment. I want to sit down and try to write out as much of a timeline after that as possible, but I can't remember a lot of the details, although I knew all along that my tormentors knew exactly what I was doing and where I was located every minute of every one of those days. And so in this message below, he is talking basically about how people can talk about being your friend, but it is when the world throws you down into some really dark place, it is your friends that are going to be there with you. And I remember those first 9 days I was starving and I couldn't believe not only were they still oppressing me with their cage, but that no one even attempted to leave any food on my doorstep or something like that. In a lot of ways, it really hasn't been any different than that time I was standing on the pier in July of 1988, with a new lesson on loneliness. I think that was a defining moment of misery. People have undoubtedly suffered more, but this all was needless. It was stupid. I was a hostage of sociopaths. I know sure as hell if I listened to someone starving for 9 days, I would have done something, anything. No one did anything. But listen. And they kept listening. For that one month after I ran out of money, because my bank account had been frozen I assume in anticipation of eviction, I went over half that month without eating anything. It actually wouldn't have been that big a deal to fast that long. It was painful, but if my intention had been to fast, it would have been bearable. But this wasn't a fast. I had no idea that it was going to end. I hoped it would. I hoped someone would do something other than sit there and listen to me starving while they were probably eating their meals. I know with absolute certainty that if I had not sent that message to Senator Murray office, I would be dead right now. After 9 days, I decided to go through with my plans to jump off that bridge near Shelton. I picked it because it was something like 420 feet and would definitely be fatal. And it was out in the middle of nowhere so I knew no one would be around to get in my way. So I had about two dollars left. I had been keeping it to buy a little bit of food, enough to keep me from passing out as I drove down there, I figured it was about 100 miles away. I had 3/8's of a tank of gas and I figured I was probably going to have to walk the last 20 miles or so. This was definitly going to be a one-way trip unless these bastards listening to me stood up and quit tormenting me. So I left and started out and I stopped at a QFC in Kent on the way to pick up whatever food I could get for two dollars and then head out for the High Steel Bridge. But for some reason, I decided to try my ATM card to see if I could get some money, I had about 300 dollars left. It wasn't enough to pay my bills, but at least it would buy me some more time. And it worked. I was able to make a withdrawl and I know certainly that that change saved my life. I bought some food and kept driving on my way to Shelton, at least now I wouldn't be in such misery and I would be able to buy some gas to drive the whole way there. But as I drove a few miles, the interstate traffice was slowed down due to construction and I had some time to eat the fruit I had bought. After a little while, I turned around and headed back to my apartment. I bought some more food and hoped that tomorrow would be a better day.]

[As they listened to Kerry starving, no one even made an attempt to stop it, such as throwing a can of food on his doorstep, slipping a dollar into his car, or even simple as simple as anonymously having a pizza delivered to his apartment instead they listened to him dying not unlike a dog lying in the ditch after being struck by a car and Kerry sits here hoping they would have to go to jail.]

anxiety
Psychiatry. A state of apprehension, uncertainty, and fear resulting from the anticipation of a realistic or fantasized threatening event or situation, often impairing physical and psychological functioning.
[The only hope Kerry had of escaping from the years of torment from people spying on him would be to cower in a dark corner somewhere, except he knew they probably had cameras on him there too and when he complained that they were going to strangle him, they just held his head under the water for a longer period of time while ensuring that this experience would also be a source of humiliation for him because he complained.]

The stimulants, in general, have the effect of increasing wakefulness and alertness at the expense of creating tremulousness, feelings of anxiety and overactivity. Caffein, benzedrine, and dexedrine fall into this category. There are a number of derivatives of benzedrine which have essentially the same action. "Aktedron," a synthetic benzedrine derivative, has been used in Czechoslovakia and Southeast Europe. Coffee and Benzedrine derivatives are sometimes administered to tired or sleepy prisoners in order to wake them up enough so that the interrogation can be carried on. They have been used in this manner in Eastern Europe, in Russia, and in China. In and of themselves they have no important effect in producing confessions. Used in combination with a system of psychological and physiological pressures they will in many cases accelerate and exacerbate the profound fatigue, confusion, loss of critical judgment, and breakdown of resistance which is a consequence of the full course of control techniques.

I was thinking the other day, as whoever listens to me in the bathroom knows, about a situation 20 years ago when I was face-to-face with the Soviet Navy.
Ah, I remember now, it was after Bush was talking about how he thought the oceans would protect us. I thought out loud that he should have been with me in 1985 off the coast of Texas. And then that reminded me of something I read about Bush filling the role of a Soviet bomber during a training exercise with his fighter squadron. Doesn't make sense.
Anyway, I was thinking about how we had our names on our uniforms. We were close enough to them that they could probably read our names with telephoto lenses. I wonder if they would use that information to try to recruit spies, similar to the Walker spy ring that was going on back then. Then I remember something peculiar a year or two later. When I was in school at Dam Neck, someone commented that my security badge had a different color background on my photo. I didn't know what it meant. A different security level? So then I began to wonder the other day if maybe our spies had picked up their spies mentioning our names, taken from that expedition in 1985. I also wondered how often the Soviets had ships off our coast, especially the Gulf Coast. I remember someone saying they could easily launch a cruise missile strike on Dallas from there and I remember thinking of what that would do to those skyscrapers.

JOURNAL ARCHIVE: Re: Sleep journal 2/11/06
Nothing spectacular about my dreams last night. I remember two different segments. One had some basic symbolism in it that seemed uninterestingly relevant. The other was more complex and had symbolic elements in it as well. I guess they decided to not screw with my mind as I slept because they read my journal last night that I was expecting it.
After I wrote the first paragraph, I then started typing in the date on the subject line and something struck suddenly about the date. I think it was part of a dream last night that I have forgotten.
I have also been wondering, thinking back to that dream manipulation in 1999, whether my dreams are literal interpretations of what they are suggesting or whether my own mental mechanisms are producing something different from what they want. In other words, when I was waking up calling out my friends name, was it because that is what the dream terrorists wanted me to do? Or were they making indirect suggestions such as "you should talk more to someone you work with that you have a strong connection with." I wonder if they were trying to manipulate me to hooking up with someone I had no interest in and I was interpreting it to represent someone I was close to.
As crazy as this dream terrorism sounds, I have absolutely no doubt it has been happening.

JOURNAL ARCHIVE: Sleep journal 2/14/06
Funny how I don't remember any dreams last night or this morning. I slept about 3 or 4 hours late in the evening and then a few hours later this morning. I don't remember anything. And then there is the way the few foreign dreams I've had lately seemed to be quieter, as if the manipulators were almost whispering or they were transmitting with a lower power setting. I do remember waking up at one point where it sounded like someone was telling Donald Pleasance that he had a taxi waiting for him downstairs to take him to the airport. Pleasance was the guy who was chasing that guy around in those Halloween movies. He also played a blind guy trying to escape from a WW2 German POW camp.
For the past couple of days I have been meaning to bring up again a dream that happened about two years ago that I believe was a foreign dream. I recorded it in my journal shortly after that but I have lost control of all my personal effects due to this situation. I remember waking up absolutely terrified. There was something terrifying about my digital alarm clock. It seemed that the numbers had stopped, that time itself had stopped. It was probably several minutes before I regained my senses. I don't know why I was so terrified.
But it also causes me to think more about that experience as well as others. I realized that I have never really been scared before. I have been in some tough spots that were troubling, but every time I felt in control, at least in control of what I could control. That experience with being terrified reminded me of another experience many years earlier when I learned to distinquish and recognize a basic emotion. I was standing on the pier next to the Wainwright shortly after we had returned from the PG. Everything had been going so right one day, and then the next, everything just started going so wrong. It seemed as soon as I touched home soil again, everything just started falling apart. I was standing there and for the first time in my life, at least that I was aware, I felt lonely. I had been alone a lot in my life to that point, but this was the first time I could really label the feeling. That lonely experience and that terrifing experience are similar in some ways but dissimilar in other ways. The loneliness I felt that day after returning home was just sort of a peak I guess, a new level of an emotion that I had felt many times in my life but never really understood. The terror feeling on the hand, was pretty new. The lonely experience just produced a scar, while the terror feeling, I don't know what the result of that experience is, maybe to reinforce my desire to maintain peace in my life, of which people have been trying to drive me away from, although why they want to provoke me I don't know.

"Hamburger Hill"
I wonder if Phoebe bought the contents of that storage locker I lost control of. I think that comforter was in there. I also wonder if a certain friend knew about that, assuming the comforter does resemble Phoebe's wedding dress, when she and her husband walked through my bedroom in that second apartment I had at Limestone back in 2000 and 2001. I had that comforter on my bed back then. I remember Lynn walked to my bedroom window and was looking out. I had a pretty good idea why that was.
And what is it about those shoes Phoebe is wearing as she stands in front of that "King Lear" promo? I distinctly "remember" that Anonda Mack had on a pair just like it when we went out on that date in Greenville. Anonda sold purses and other handbags at some retail store near Greenville. Her aunt set us up on a blind date. I can't "remember" the name of that bank her aunt worked at but it was in Lancaster, SC. I went out with Anonda one night as I was driving back to Ashdown for Caitlin's birthday. I "remember" something about looking forward to going out that night because the autumn weather was in the air and I love that time of year.
The premiere of this movie is within 4 days of forming a 0.359 connection with my birthday and the actual 1969 battle. That movie premiere date was precisely 1 year, 4 months, 14 days, after 4/14/1986 and was a few months after I finished my escape from Africa. I recognize the date 4/14/1986 as when the Libyan prison I was being held captive was bombed to give me a chance to escape. That is also the reason Microsoft-Corbis was revealing my whereabouts - to try to get a terrorist to detonate a truck bomb or something at the Microsoft Issaquah office. It would have been good for Microsoft-Corbis business, as well as their terrorist accomplice, Dave Reichert, and others in King County, Washington.
As I was just watching this movie, I have symbolic memories from this movie. The part that is just about to come on where the guy gets his head blown off. I can distinctly remember on the Wainwright that I put one of my dog tags on my boot. I associate that detail with this movie. Why would I have such a specific artificial and symbolic memory in that context? Why, in my artificial and symbolic memory, would I "remember" a certain action based on watching a movie in the context of my artificial and symbolic memory? In my artificial and symbolic memory, I put that dog tag on my boot because I "remember" watching this movie in my artificial and symbolic memory. That has got to mean something; probably that I fought in this Vietnam battle. And even worse, it was only a few weeks before Apollo 11 went to the Earth's moon. I have other memories returning to consciousness about Vietnam but I am not really sure what it all means.

Hamburger Hill is a 1987 American movie starring Dylan McDermott, Steven Weber, Courtney B. Vance, Don Cheadle and Michael Boatman; directed by John Irvin and written by James Carabatsos.
Set in May 1969 during the Vietnam War, the movie is based on the actual assault of the U.S. Army's 3d Battalion, 187th Infantry Regiment, part of the 101st Airborne Division "Screaming Eagles", on a well-fortified position, including trenchworks and bunkers, of the North Vietnamese Army on Dong Ap Bia Mountain near the Laotian border. American military records of the battle refer to the mountain as "Hill 937", its map designation derived from its being 937 meters high.
The film realistically depicts the realities of war, combat, courage, camaraderie and dedication to the mission among troops. It also brings up painful questions about war, such as the stigmatizing of replacement troops ("newbies" or, more crudely, "FNGs", for "Fuckin' New Guys") and of the seeming caprice of high command in the Vietnam War, specifically the lack of strategic value of the hill and subsequent unnecessary casualties. Other issues include the effect of anti-war sentiment on morale, and racial tensions among troops (especially the overcoming of racial tension by gradual friendship and earned respect).
The film was distributed by Paramount Pictures, which had only theatrical rights to the film, whereas the video rights were owned by Vestron Video, and in later years by Live Entertainment, Artisan Entertainment, and Lions Gate Entertainment (which also recently acquired the UK video rights with distribution by 20th Century Fox Home Entertainment).
And what is it about those shoes Phoebe is wearing as she stands in front of that "King Lear" promo? I distinctly "remember" that Anonda Mack had on a pair just like it when we went out on that date in Greenville. Anonda sold purses and other handbags at some retail store near Greenville. Her aunt set us up on a blind date. I can't "remember" the name of that bank her aunt worked at but it was in Lancaster, SC. I went out with Anonda one night as I was driving back to Ashdown for Caitlin's birthday. I "remember" something about looking forward to going out that night because the autumn weather was in the air and I love that time of year.
The premiere of this movie is within 4 days of forming a 0.359 connection with my birthday and the actual 1969 battle. That movie premiere date was precisely 1 year, 4 months, 14 days, after 4/14/1986 and was a few months after I finished my escape from Africa. I recognize the date 4/14/1986 as when the Libyan prison I was being held captive was bombed to give me a chance to escape. That is also the reason Microsoft-Corbis was revealing my whereabouts - to try to get a terrorist to detonate a truck bomb or something at the Microsoft Issaquah office. It would have been good for Microsoft-Corbis business, as well as their terrorist accomplice, Dave Reichert, and others in King County, Washington.
As I was just watching this movie, I have symbolic memories from this movie. The part that is just about to come on where the guy gets his head blown off. I can distinctly remember on the Wainwright that I put one of my dog tags on my boot. I associate that detail with this movie. Why would I have such a specific artificial and symbolic memory in that context? Why, in my artificial and symbolic memory, would I "remember" a certain action based on watching a movie in the context of my artificial and symbolic memory? In my artificial and symbolic memory, I put that dog tag on my boot because I "remember" watching this movie in my artificial and symbolic memory. That has got to mean something; probably that I fought in this Vietnam battle. And even worse, it was only a few weeks before Apollo 11 went to the Earth's moon. I have other memories returning to consciousness about Vietnam but I am not really sure what it all means.

"Priceless"
I don't get it. Does this have something to do with why Kirk Tavener, my manager at Microsoft, showed me that pornographic video during that 2002 performance review? Something about the relevance of Cole and Porter to my real life?
There is also the fact that George W. Bush is a closeted homosexual and that is why he has been stalking me, with the help of Microsoft-Corbis and other paparazzis.

"You do climb up it now: look, how we labour."
That blouse makes me think of that comforter I used to have on my bed a few years ago. I started thinking about that the other night when an actress on Conan was wearing a dress with a similar pattern and she commented that it was a wedding dress. And could this scene be because I was quoting something from "King Lear" a while back? Was it "King Lear" or was I just reading "King Lear" but didn't actually make any references to it? I know that I was reading it though and I was at least thinking of referring to it. I have made several references in my journal from Shakespeare.
http://gallery.phoebe-cates.com/v/current/48454005.jpg.html
I am pretty certain I wrote of my "memories" of the Lear jets when I was on the Taylor, which I can still visualize. Not sure what that was all about, though. I definitely think my "memory" of Tina Mason's smile is actually Phoebe's smile. Her hair from "Date With An Angel" looks just like I "remember" Rachel Barnett. And her face has a distinct resemblance to Rachel Barnett, too.
9 goddamned years we have been apart. And I still don't goddamned know when I'll get to see her again. This is bullshit.
I remember I was reading some passages about "Edgar" but I can't remember now what it was. I think I decided to not make any references to it, but maybe I did, can't remember.
There was that girl named Lee Edgar that worked at the Seneca branch of First Federal. Not sure if that is a reference to this play or to the U.S. Security and Exchange Commission. Maybe both.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/King_lear
...
Edgar is the legitimate son of the Earl of Gloucester. Disguised as Tom O'Bedlam, he helps his blind father. At the end of the play he assumes rule of the kingdom and the 'Divine Right of Kings' is restored.
I imagine what it would be like for her to come up to me at any point and start talking to me. I imagine that she would think it neat to see me fall in love with her again, but the thing is, I never stopped loving her.
She might come up to me and start talking to me and I might not be able to remember her as she remembers me, but the feelings never stopped. They are just blocked, suppressed, from my consciousness. I guess it is possible I could instantly recognize her if she came up to me, but I don't know. I think something in my mind deflects those real memories of her. I would know she is important to me in a way I can't fully understand, but that might be the extent of it until I......something. There is something else that has to happen.
I will consciously remember her at some point and that I love her, but I am also going to become consciously aware of just how painful it has been to be apart all these years. I never stopped loving her and I have missed her intensely.

Consistent with that theory I wrote earlier today about Mogge is a detail I just noticed on the map. I ran into Mogge after I got out of the Navy because he and his wife Andrea had moved into the Clemson, SC, area. I was working in a First Federal bank branch in Seneca, SC, to repair a computer on the drive-through teller line. I can’t remember that girl’s name that I was repairing the computer for but I remember her last name was Edgar. We went out a few times right before I started dating Tracie Rhodes. So anyway, I was standing there at the drive-through window and I saw Mark and Andrea in their pickup outside looking in at me. I went out there to talk them after they pulled into the parking lot. I remember I was driving my Plymouth Voyager car. I think Mogge had a small red pickup. Since I was driving that Voyager, that means it was after I had returned from Memphis and I must have been living in nearby Central, SC, at the time. So anyway, as I used to drive out there to Seneca a lot, it was the extreme western edge of my territory, I always referred to that road as Highway 123. I remember that branch was right next to that road, and on the map, it is also labeled as Highway 76.
I lived very close to Clemson University and traveled into Clemson often to service the bank branches in that town. I have been trying to think of why that was and I guess it could be because of the Tigers. I suspect though that the primary reason for me being there was because I lived in Central. After that, I bought that house in Greer, SC, at Country Club Estates and moved out there until I moved to Arrowood in Charlotte, NC. From there I went across town to Dresden off Independence with the nearby Sheffield Park, and then I moved back near Arrowood to Whitehall. After that, I moved to Paces River in Rock Hill, SC, off Exit 82 of I-77.

Highway 59 runs into Seneca, South Carolina, also. In what appears to be downtown Seneca, it is named Oak Street and it intersects with a road that is labeled Business 76 & Business 123. The Seneca branch of First Federal that I have written about several times is nearby on a major highway labeled Bypass 76 & Bypass 123. I wrote about running into Mark and Andrea Mogge again the first time after I had been out of the Navy for a while. I also wrote about a girl named Lee Edgar who worked at the Seneca branch. It was her terminal at the drive-through window that I was working on when I saw Mark and Andrea sitting in their small red pickup outside in the drive-through. We were talking in the parking lot outside next to Highway 76/123 and I “remember” at one point answering a call on my large cellular phone, the kind you carried in a bag, that was in my burgundy Plymouth Voyager car. I have been thinking that Lee Edgar represents some work I did for the SEC because of her last name. But last night I started thinking that maybe her first name has something to do with the comet of 1976. Her name, Lee, could represent “Life Extinction Event,” which is similar to “ELE” from “Deep Impact.” I can “remember” kissing her outside her house and that she lived a long way from where I lived in Taylors, SC. She was the last girl I dated before I started dating Tracie Rhodes, who took over Bobbilynn’s job of replenishing cash in the ATM’s and calling me out to repair the machines when they were inoperative. There seems to be more here if I could just remember it. There is also something, a memory, something, that has twice appeared in my thoughts, but now is gone again.

Those vague “memories” of people joking about the dead Challenger astronauts probably reflect the interrogation by the Libyans in 1986.

That dream I wrote about recently, where I was wearing a garment similar to “Neo’s” cassock-like garment from “Matrix Reloaded” also included Captain’s stipes on my shoulders. I was confused about that detail though because they seemed to be on epaulets and I don’t remember ever seeing a U.S. Navy officer’s uniform that had the rank stripes on epaulets. Last night I remembered that scene from “Crimson Tide” where the character Gene Hackman portrays in sitting in the ward room and his Captain stripes are on epaulets. So maybe that is a real USN uniform and I guess it is the shirt you would wear under the dress blue jacket. I can’t remember the name of that style of USN officer uniform but it is the one the Tom Cruise wore in court in “A Few Good Men.” It would make sense to have the stripes on flexible epaulets because the shoulder boards wouldn’t work well with a jack over them.
The night Diane Broch and I met, we were in that bar in Wisconsin and she was laughing as I sang along with a song that was playing. “The roof, the roof, the roof is on fire.” I wonder if that represents somehow when we were hit by a missile on 2/14/86. She was wearing some kind of light green jumpsuit that was fashionable among women back in the 80’s. There was fog on the floor as we danced.

"under siege"
The Lunar Roving Vehicle (LRV) or Lunar rover is a land vehicle used on the Moon.It is known by it's popular nickname of "moon buggy." Several of the Apollo Lunar Module spacecraft delivered lunar rovers to the moon.
Karl Christian Rove (born December 25, 1950) is Deputy Chief of Staff to President George W. Bush. He has headed the Office of Political Affairs, the Office of Public Liaison, and the White House Office of Strategic Initiatives. For most of his career prior to his employment at the White House, Rove was a political consultant.
This first date was 3.59 months after my 10th birthday and precisely a month before I walked on the Moon for the first time.

Kevin Kline's birthday is 33 weeks, 4 days, after mine. This illustrates the basis for the Microsoft-Corbis terrorism. The more I explain, the more likely they can get away with it. It's all a set up. All of my associates, such as Kevin Kline, are at risk from the Microsoft-Corbis criminal activity.
That beard Kevin Kline was sporting in what appear to be recent photos is also curious. I remember I had a pretty long beard when I was in the Pioneer Square gulag. It got to the point that street people stopped asking me for spare change. His initials, K.K., also reminds me of that movie, "Karate Kid."

"the royals and the press"
This must be why I "remember" why Michael Draper, my step-brother, was born on August 13th. It is because he was a U.S. Navy officer that was killed on 2/14/1986 when we were shot down by anti-aircraft fire. I can't remember his real name yet, though. In my artificial and symbolic memory, he was killed when he wrecked his pickup on 11/25/1986, but I think I encoded that detail to reflect when my family had a funeral service for me. I was shot down on 2/14/1986 and then the prison I was being held at was bombed to give me a chance to escape, which I did, but no one knew for certain I had survived until I made it back to the U.S. Navy on 5/13/1987.
Hardball Hosts Reagan Family Reunion
It was a rare public Reagan family reunion of sorts on Thursday’s edition of Hardball. Nancy joined son Ron to help Chris report on the release of the new book “The Reagan Diaries." (video) Joining them was presidential historian and Tulane University professor Douglas Brinkley who painstakingly edited the book over the last 3 years. Mrs. Reagan, who is doing very limited publicity for this book, agreed to join the conversation today when she heard Chris was dedicating time to it on Hardball. She told Chris how important it was to publish these diary entries and that the President never wrote them with the idea that they’d be published. She had forgotten how much he wrote about dealing with personal situations with his family in the diaries, including this excerpt about his son Ron:
Saturday, May 15 (1982)
Long call to Ron. He wants to Sign off Secret Svc. for a month. S.S. knows he’s a real target—lives in a N.Y.C. area where the Puerto Rican terrorist group is active. In fact he’s on a hit list. He thinks we’re interfering with his privacy. I can’t make him see that I can’t be put in a position of one day facing a ransom demand. I’d have to refuse for reasons for the Nation’s welfare.
Ron told Chris Matthews it is more than a little strange for him to read about family arguments 25 years after they happened. Mrs. Reagan was quick to point out that the president did write many good things about Ron in his diary, including how much he enjoyed watching him perform with the Joffrey Ballet in the 1980’s. Mrs. Reagan also responded to a question from Chris on how the President was embarrassed by some of the content in movies he screened at the White House. Here’s an entry from 1982.

William Anthony "Bill" Oefelein ... (born March 29, 1965 in Fort Belvoir, Virginia) is an American Naval officer and a NASA astronaut. His first space mission was as pilot of STS-116.
...
Former astronaut Lisa Nowak met Oefelein in 1996 and they became friends about two years later while training together as astronauts at NASA.[4] On February 5, 2007 Nowak was arrested at the Orlando International Airport following an altercation with US Air Force Captain Colleen Shipman, who had been having a romantic relationship with Oefelein for about 3 months. At the time of her arrest, Nowak described her relationship with Oefelein as "more than a working relationship but less than a romantic relationship."[5] Oefelein later revealed more information about his relationship with Nowak, when he told detectives that he had a two-year romantic relationship with Nowak which he ended sometime after he started the relationship with Shipman. "I would [have] never predicted this," Oefelein told a detective, "She had actually wished me a nice weekend, knowing Colleen was gonna spend it with me."
HOUSTON - The space shuttle pilot at the center of a love triangle that led an ex-astronaut on a bizarre diaper-clad drive across five states to confront her rival is leaving the space agency, NASA announced Friday.
Cmdr. Bill Oefelein will leave NASA on June 1, nearly four months after authorities believe his cooled relationship with Lisa Nowak led her to drive 900 miles (1,448 kilometers) from Houston to Florida and confront her romantic rival.
"NASA requested his reassignment and the Navy agreed," said Navy spokesman Lt. Cmdr. Doug Gabos.
Although Oefelein has yet to receive orders, Gabos said the Navy expects to assign Oefelein to the Naval Network Warfare Command in Norfolk, Virginia, where he will work in the field of satellite communications.

Shake up the picture the lizard mixture
With your dance on the eventide
You got me coming up with answers
All of which I deny
I said it again
Could I please rephrase it
Maybe I can catch a ride
I couldn't really put it much plainer
But I'll wait till you decide
Send me your warning siren
As if I could ever hide
Last time La Luna

I light my torch and wave it for the
New moon on Monday
And a firedance through the night
I stayed the cold day with a lonely satellite
Breaking away with the best of both worlds
A smile that you can't disguise
Every minute I keep finding
Clues that you leave behind
Save me from these reminders
As if I'd forget tonight

It is no coincidence that, in my artificial and symbolic memory, my father's second wife was named Gemma.
Gemini 12 (officially Gemini XII) was a 1966 manned spaceflight in NASA's Gemini program. It was the 10th manned Gemini flight, the 18th manned American flight
Launch: November 11, 1966
Landing: November 15, 1966
By the time of the last Gemini flight, the program still had not demonstrated that an astronaut could work easily and efficiently outside the spacecraft. In preparation for Gemini XII, new, improved restraints were added to the outside of the capsule, and a new technique—underwater training—was introduced, which would become a staple of all future space-walk simulation. Aldrin's two-hour, 20-minute tethered space-walk, during which he photographed star fields, retrieved a micrometeorite collector and did other chores, at last demonstrated the feasibility of extravehicular activity. Two more stand-up EVAs also went smoothly, as did the by now routine rendezvous and docking with an Agena which was done "manually" using the onboard computer and charts when a rendezvous radar failed. The climb to a higher orbit, however, was canceled because of a problem with the Agena booster.
Many documentaries afterward largely credit the spacewalk innovations, including the underwater training, to Aldrin himself.
Gemini 12 was designed to perform rendezvous and docking with the Agena target vehicle, to conduct three Extravehicular Activity (EVA) operations, to conduct a tethered stationkeeping exercise, to perform docked maneuvers using the Agena propulsion system to change orbit, and demonstrate an automatic reentry.

Thomas C. Wales (1952–2001) was a federal prosecutor and gun control advocate from Seattle, Washington, who was the victim of an unsolved murder.
Wales was born in Boston, Massachusetts. After his graduation from Milton Academy, he went to Harvard University and then to Hofstra Law School, where he graduated with distinction in 1979 and served as the Editor-in-Chief of the Law Review.
He worked as a U.S. Attorney in Seattle and specialized on the investigation and prosecution of fraud in banking and business. As a community volunteer, he was active in civic organizations and served as a trustee of the Federal Bar Association. He was president of an anti-gun organization, Washington CeaseFire ([1]). He died on October 12, 2001, aged 49, one day after having been shot by an unknown subject. He was shot while sitting at a computer in his basement. His murderer apparently shot him and fled through Wales' back yard.
There is an open reward of one million U.S. dollars for information leading to the conclusion of the case.
The Seattle Times reported that in 2006 two homes and vehicles belonging to a man whom Wales had prosecuted were searched by the FBI in further investigation of the murder. The owner of the homes and vehicles was a pilot who, with others, Wales had prosecuted in a fraud case. Charges against the pilot and others were dismissed but the corporation they ran was convicted. The pilot later filed a malicious prosecution claim seeking $125,000 in legal fees but the complaint was dismissed.
In his memory, the Thomas C. Wales Foundation ([2]) was set up to support civil commitment.
In the Dismissal of U.S. attorneys controversy, media reports suggest that John McKay may have in part been dismissed from his position as United States Attorney for the Western District of Washington due to conflicts with his superiors at the Department of Justice concerning the investigation of Wales murder. [1] One media story asserts that McKay felt "that senior Justice officials were not paying enough attention to the case".

The Seattle Times reported that in 2006 two homes and vehicles belonging to a man whom Wales had prosecuted were searched by the FBI in further investigation of the murder. The owner of the homes and vehicles was a pilot who, with others, Wales had prosecuted in a fraud case. Charges against the pilot and others were dismissed but the corporation they ran was convicted. The pilot later filed a malicious prosecution claim seeking $125,000 in legal fees but the complaint was dismissed.
In his memory, the Thomas C. Wales Foundation ([2]) was set up to support civil commitment.
In the Dismissal of U.S. attorneys controversy, media reports suggest that John McKay may have in part been dismissed from his position as United States Attorney for the Western District of Washington due to conflicts with his superiors at the Department of Justice concerning the investigation of Wales murder. [1] One media story asserts that McKay felt "that senior Justice officials were not paying enough attention to the case".
"Into The Ocean"
WASHINGTON - Special Counsel Patrick Fitzgerald, in a sentencing memo, has recommended that former White House aide I. Lewis "Scooter" Libby spend 2-1/2 to 3 years in prison for obstructing the CIA leak investigation.
Libby was convicted in March of four of five felony counts against him. He is scheduled to be sentenced on June 5th before U.S. District Judge Reggie Walton
Falsehoods were central
Judge Walton is not compelled to follow federal sentencing guidelines and could impose either a stronger or weaker sentence on Libby.
Fitzgerald wrote in the 18-page memo, "Particularly in a case such as this, where Mr. Libby was a high-ranking government official whose falsehoods were central to issues in a significant criminal investigation, it is important that this court impose a sentence that accurately reflects the value the judicial system places on truth-telling in criminal investigations."
The Special Counsel said that the "deliberate" outing of covert CIA agent Valerie Plame was a very serious breach, "The allegations underlying this investigation were serious: that high-ranking government officials, in the course of responding to political criticisms of the present administration by Ms. Wilson's husband, had deliberately, recklessly or negligently compromised her identity as an intelligence agent, posing risks to intelligence assets and operations."
Unanswered questions
Fitzgerald said that it was apparent from early in the investigation that classified information relating to a covert intelligence agent had been disclosed without authorization.
...
Fitzgerald writes, "As an experienced attorney, Mr. Libby knew well both the seriousness of this investigation and the range of options available to him as the investigation progressed. He, of course, could have told the truth, even if, as was the case for many other witnesses, doing so risked the possibility of criminal prosecution, or personal or political embarrassment."
...
No one was charged with the leak itself, including the initial source of the disclosure, former Deputy Secretary of State Richard Armitage.
The problem with sentencing Libby too soon is that the full impact of what they were trying to do to me - their betrayal - is not clearly understood. When it becomes known that they were engaged in arson to cover their tracks of stealing my identity, then a greater prison for him would be understandable. As it is now, 3 years in prison for him is just another insult. He should get at least 50 years in prison.
Richard Armitage was just about the same age on 6/19/1968 as I was on the day I recognize as when I graduated the U.S. Naval Academy. I recognize the day 6/19/1968 as an important day for me during the Vietnam War.
From 4/26/1945 to 6/19/1968 is: 8455 days
From 3/3/1959 to 4/30/1982 is: 8459 days
Richard Lee Armitage (born April 26, 1945) was the 13th United States Deputy Secretary of State, the second-in-command at the State Department, serving from 2001 to 2005.
What would be cool would be a kind of life-aboard-ship photo of the USS Cole where there was a television in the background with an image of Phoebe on the screen from "Gremlins." That would be funny, especially if it was that scene where she was talking about the reason she hated Christmas, except that I'm not sure if I would recognize that scene as I can't actually remember the last time I saw that movie. I vaguely "remember" seeing it but only in the context of my artificial memory.

BLUE OCTOBER LYRICS
"Into The Ocean"
I'm just a normal boy
That sank when I fell overboard
My ship would leave the country
But I'd rather swim ashore
Without a life vest I'd be stuck again
Wish I was much more masculine
Maybe then I could learn to swim
Like 'fourteen miles away'
Now floating up and down
I spin, colliding into sound
Like whales beneath me diving down
I'm sinking to the bottom of my
Everything that freaks me out
The lighthouse beam has just run out
I'm cold as cold as cold can be
be
I want to swim away but don't know how
Sometimes it feels just like I'm falling in the ocean
Let the waves up take me down
Let the hurricane set in motion... yeah
Let the rain of what I feel right now...come down
Let the rain come down
Where is the coastguard
I keep looking each direction
For a spotlight, give me something
I need something for protection
Maybe flotsam junk will do just fine
the jetsam sunk, I'm left behind
I'm treading for my life believe me
(How can I keep up this breathing)
Not knowing how to think
I scream aloud, begin to sink
My legs and arms are broken down
With envy for the solid ground
I'm reaching for the life within me
How can one man stop his ending
I thought of just your face
Relaxed, and floated into space
I want to swim away but don't know how
Sometimes it feels just like I'm falling in the ocean
Let the waves up take me down
Let the hurricane set in motion... yeah
Let the rain of what I feel right now...come down
Let the rain come down
Let the rain come down
Now waking to the sun
I calculate what I had done
Like jumping from the bow (yeah)
Just to prove that I knew how (yeah)
It's midnight's late reminder of
The loss of her, the one I love
My will to quickly end it all
Set front row in my need to fall
Into the ocean, end it all
Into the ocean, end it all
Into the ocean, end it all
into the ocean...end it all

Nation of cowards
Memorial Day. What a goddamned joke when you are a prisoner of war in your own country and can't even go home after 9 years to my family. You people don't deserve these brave people that sacrifice to protect your worthless hides. You're a bunch of goddamned cowards.
Memorial Day is a United States federal holiday that is observed on the last Monday of May (observed this year on 2007-05-28). It was formerly known as Decoration Day. This holiday commemorates U.S. men and women who have died in military service to their country. It began first to honor Union soldiers who died during the American Civil War. After World War I, it expanded to include those who died in any war or military action.
All I know is that I am supposed to be somewhere else. If I can't go home, then someone is blocking me from going home to my wife. It could be that my family is being tricked into thinking they cannot contact me directly. That is an aspect of this criminal activity against me that I have been monitoring. The terrorists, such as Microsoft-Corbis and George W. Bush are working to isolate me from my family so that I am isolated.
I am an official United States federal undercover agent and traitors within our own government have turned me into a prisoner of war.

6/7/1976
I recognize the date 6/7/1976 as when I landed on the Saturn moon Phoebe after my 1/21/1976 visit to the planet Mars.
From 6/7/1976 to 6/1/2006 is 359 months, 3 weeks, 4 days
The date 6/1/2006 was 6 days before the 30th anniversary of my visit to the Saturn moon Phoebe. And it was 359 days after the 29th anniversary of that visit.
I think I was still homeless sleeping in my Jeep in the mountains in early June 2005, working this bullshit assignment. It feels like I am never going to get back to her. That I am cursed to be hounded forever by these goddamned paparazzi.

"Shag"
This movie, starring Phoebe Cates, premiered precisely 20 years after Apollo 11 first walked on the Earth's moon. The title also makes me think of Shaq every time I see it. I also have some kind of symbolic memory about "shag." Other than remembering that shag dance, I "remember" something I said around Jim Shea's mother. Her boyfriend drove up from Florida to find her and she and he were arguing one night in that apartment Jim Shea and I lived in. I was sleeping with his mother and I was annoyed by her boyfriend. I told him at one point to "cut his losses and shag off." Jim Shea would laugh about that a few times later as his mother told him what I said. I have a lot of "memories" about those circumstances, which is odd. It was probably something somebody said to my wife or girlfriend, or maybe she said that to someone else, but it is something I encoded into my "memory" as being said by me. I think my "memory" is kind of a composite creation, where I mix in details from other people. There is probably a reason I "remember" those details from my artificial and symbolic memory, but I don't know precisely why.
Shag is a 1989 film starring Bridget Fonda, Phoebe Cates, Annabeth Gish, Jeff Yagher and Scott Coffey. It features Carolina shag dancing and was produced in cooperation with the North Carolina Film Commission. It was filmed primarily in Wilmington (NC) and Myrtle Beach SC. Though it was not a big hit when initially released, in recent years it has become something of a cult film to fans of beach music and the Carolina Shag.
This also reminds me of how, in my artificial and symbolic memory, my wife, Tracie, whose birthday was July 16th, went on a vacation with her sister a few weeks after we got married. Her sister was complaining that they wouldn't go on the vacation because we had gotten married after they had been making plans to go to Florida, and I guess Tracie was expecting me to tell her I didn't want her to go, but I didn't say anything. They went somewhere in the panhandle of Florida; can't "remember" for certain where it was. Panama City Beach, maybe?
Shag (1989)
Release Date: 21 July 1989 (USA)
Summer of 1963. Carson is getting married to her boyfriend so her friends Melaina, Pudge and Luanne take her to Myrtle Beach for one last irresponsible weekend.
...
Phoebe Cates ... Carson McBride
The thought occurred to me that the detail about Tracie going on a vacation to Panama City Beach might have been about me going to fight in the Panama invasion. I think I was shot in the back with a shotgun during one battle as I was dragging one of my wounded team back to cover after we were ambushed.
The United States invasion of Panama, codenamed Operation Just Cause, was the invasion of Panama by armed forces of the United States that deposed general, dictator and de facto Panamanian military leader Manuel Noriega in December 1989, during the administration of U.S. President George H. W. Bush.
The actor who portrayed her fiancee in that movie was born 5/1/1967, according to the sources. That is the day I recognize as when I first flew a fighter jet by myself.

Shag (1989) .... Chip Guillyard
I haven't seen this movie, that I can remember, but what I read in these pages, it seems the character named "Buzz" was trying to steal the woman that my wife portrays. I probably created this detail so I could point back to it someday when I told her the full story about my youth in the space program. The characters "Chip" and "Buzz" both represent me but there was a lot she didn't know about me, perhaps.

I don't much like reading through these quotes, but this one is pretty funny. There is also those symbolic memories I wrote about where I met that girlfriend named Phoebe at a dance.
Memorable quotes for
Shag (1989)
...
Buzz: I'm Buzz Ravenal. Let's dance.
Carson: I'm sorry, I'm engaged.
Buzz: Well, I'm sorry you're engaged, too.
I don't know what the hell this was about. I have been thinking that, in some ways, I was bragging about having such a beautiful. I get shot and blown up and shot down and all that other zany stuff the terrorists try to do, but still, life is pretty good when I get home. If I have a major vulnerability though, it is her and the rest of my family. The terrorists, such as Microsoft-Corbis and their accomplices, such as George W. Bush, look for any possible way to get to me. They don't want to just kill me; rather they want to make me suffer as much as possible first.

Carson: You want me to go all the way up there, to a Yankee school, just so I can come over every weekend and practice "free love" with you?
Buzz: Well, not every weekend.
The actor who portrayed "Jimmy Valentine" was 335 months, 9 days, old on 12/27/1988. That day 12/27/1988 was 594 days after 5/13/1987. I recognize 5/13/1987 as when I completed my escape from Africa after being shot down by anti-aircraft fire on 2/14/1986. Using the method of counting inclusive days, then it would be perfectly a clue of 335-9 and 593.

Shag (1989) .... Jimmy Valentine
I don't ever remember watching this movie, so I don't know the conext of these scenes, but I find these quotes interesting. The first one is something to do with me, in that I am that Hollywood person, "Jimmy Valentine," she talks about discovering her. The last one is a clever reference to how Phoebe didn't know she was married to the person people think of as Buzz Aldrin.
Memorable quotes for

Luanne: Here, you'll wear my momma's hoop skirt.
Malaina: I know how to win this thing.
Luanne: Why Melaina! It is bad manners to think about winnin'!
Malaina: Look Luanne! I'm not goin' to college like some people. And I sure as hell ain't marryin' a damn Ralston. And I ain't gonna die in a parish house in Spartanburg, South
Carolina, thank you. Luanne, I'm as pretty as any of those girls in Hollywood. This is my chance! Jimmy Valentine's gonna discover me today, and it ain't gonna be in your mama's hoop skirt!
Luanne: Would you at least consider my one-piece bathin' suit?
...
Pudge: Mary Pat Montgomery's the one who told me about boners. It isn't a bone at all, it's a muscle. This cousin of hers dated a Clemson Tiger who sprained his in a game, and she had to massage it every night when it got hard because he was in so much pain.
...
The Manager: Have I met you before?
Malaina: Maybe in one of your better dreams.
...
Buzz: This is cozy
Carson: Let me out
Buzz: I'm offended that you could be interested in someone like him.
Carson: You don't know me, you don't love me, sures damn well don't want to marry me, so why don't you leave me the hell alone?
Buzz: I can't.

The characters "Chip" and "Buzz" both represent me but there was a lot she didn't know about me, perhaps.

Shag (1989) .... Buzz Ravenel
I don't much like reading through these quotes, but this one is pretty funny. There is also those symbolic memories I wrote about where I met that girlfriend named Phoebe at a dance.

Buzz: I'm Buzz Ravenal. Let's dance.
Carson: I'm sorry, I'm engaged.
Buzz: Well, I'm sorry you're engaged, too.
I don't know what the hell this was about. I have been thinking that, in some ways, I was bragging about having such a beautiful. I get shot and blown up and shot down and all that other zany stuff the terrorists try to do, but still, life is pretty good when I get home. If I have a major vulnerability though, it is her and the rest of my family. The terrorists, such as Microsoft-Corbis and their accomplices, such as George W. Bush, look for any possible way to get to me. They don't want to just kill me; rather they want to make me suffer as much as possible first.

Carson: You want me to go all the way up there, to a Yankee school, just so I can come over every weekend and practice "free love" with you?
Buzz: Well, not every weekend.
The actor who portrayed "Jimmy Valentine" was 335 months, 9 days, old on 12/27/1988. That day 12/27/1988 was 594 days after 5/13/1987. I recognize 5/13/1987 as when I completed my escape from Africa after being shot down by anti-aircraft fire on 2/14/1986. Using the method of counting inclusive days, then it would be perfectly a clue of 335-9 and 593.

Shag (1989) .... Jimmy Valentine
I don't ever remember watching this movie, so I don't know the conext of these scenes, but I find these quotes interesting. The first one is something to do with me, in that I am that Hollywood person, "Jimmy Valentine," she talks about discovering her. The last one is a clever reference to how Phoebe didn't know she was married to the person people think of as Buzz Aldrin.

The House of Burgesses
This episode was 3 months, 17 days, after 11/26/1976, the day I landed on the Jupiter moon Callisto after I completed my mission to divert the comet. 30 * 0.59 = 17.7, meaning that it appears to be a 3.59 month clue. The notion could be that I would someday be found on Callisto, hopefully alive, as I didn't have enough oxygen to make it back to Earth and we thought that Callisto would be where I ran out of oxygen. I discovered water ice, though and was able to convert it to oxygen.

The Hero discovers an occupant on a remote island that was considered uninhabited.
I had a dream I was in a room with some people watching "Fast Times at Ridgemont High." I didn't want to watch it and was dreading the scenes with Phoebe because that just made me miss her more. It is one thing to see a photo of a person you miss but watching video of them, with every little movement and every sound of their voice, reminding you of how much you miss them.
I must have scheduled the duration of that mission to the comet just for this clue:

Gremlins 2: The New Batch (1990)
Release Date: 15 June 1990 (USA)
The House of Burgesses was the first elected legislative assembly in the New World established in the Colony of Virginia in 1619. Over time, the name came to represent the entire official legislative body of the Colony of Virginia, and later, after the American Revolution, the General Assembly of the Commonwealth of Virginia.
In Britain, the term "burgess" had referred to a Parliamentary representative, as of a borough.
The English settlement of the Virginia Colony which was established at Jamestown in 1607 was a big proprietary venture authorized by King James I. The colony struggled to survive for its first few years. Finally, a strain of tobacco was introduced by sailor John Rolfe around 1612, and as a profitable export commodity, it led to increasing expansion, primarily along the James River.
Fearful of losing their investment, in 1619, the officers of the Virginia Company in London embarked upon a series of reforms designed to attract more people to the troubled settlement. They began by ending the company monopoly on land ownership, believing that the colonists would display greater initiative if they had an ownership position in the venture. The changes encouraged private investment from the colony's settlers which allowed them to own their own land rather than simply being sharecroppers. Four large corporations, termed citties (sic), were designated to encompass the developed portion of the colony. Company officials also made justice in Virginia more predictable by adopting English Common Law as the basis of their system, which replaced the whims of the governor as the final voice on legal matters. In 1620, in an effort to create a more stable society, the company dispatched a boatload of marriageable women to the colony; the going rate was 120 pounds of tobacco for each bride.
The changes in 1619 also created a legislative body to be selected by the colonists called the House of Burgesses, similar to the British Parliament, that would meet once annually.
Prompted by the Virginia Company, colonial governor Sir George Yeardley helped facilitate elections of representatives, called "burgesses", to this new legislative body that would come from eleven Virginia boroughs adjacent to the James River, along with eleven additional burgesses.
The first meeting of the House of Burgesses occurred on July 30, 1619 at Jamestown. It was the first such assembly in the Americas. The initial session accomplished little, however; it was cut short by an outbreak of malaria. The assembly comprised 22 members who represented the following constituencies:
The governor, who was appointed to his position by the company officials in London
The governor’s council, six prominent citizens selected by the governor
The burgesses (representatives) from various locales, initially the larger plantations and later in Virginia history from the counties.

9.19 years
After Central and Greer, which any half-wit would recognize as a connection to the CIA, I moved to Charlotte, North Carolina. A visit to the Netherlands less than 5 years ago maintained my status as a covert operative. So anyway, in Charlotte, I lived on a street named Royal Point, then I moved to Dresden and near Sheffield. I even have an articificial and symbolic memory of a person at a checkout counter in a store telling me he had heard of Dresden. In my artificial and symbolic memory, I didn't know what that meant and after looking it up, I learned about the firestorm that killed a lot of people in the city of Dresden, Germany, during World War 2. This clue was created to reflect the fire on the HMS Sheffield during the Falklands War in 1982. After I moved from Dresden in Charlotte, I moved into Whitehall Estates in south Charlotte, before I moved to Paces River, in Rock Hill, South Carolina. That was the last place I lived before I moved out to Seattle.
A lot of you out there have done an excellent job proving all these years that you have been working to murder an official federal undercover agent. Your contributions towards that objective have been noted.

HMS Sheffield (D80)
The HMS Sheffield was commissioned 34.59 years after the birth date listed for Patrick Stewart. The distance from Mirfield to Sheffield is about 30 miles.
HMS Sheffield (D80) was the second Royal Navy ship to bear the name Sheffield, after the city of Sheffield in Yorkshire. She was a Type 42 Guided Missile Destroyer laid down by Vickers Shipbuilding and Engineering at Barrow-in-Furness on 15 January 1970, launched on 10 June 1971 and commissioned on 16 February 1975.
Patrick Stewart OBE (born July 13, 1940) is an Emmy- and Golden Globe-nominated English film, television and stage actor. He is also Chancellor of the University of Huddersfield.[1] Stewart has had a distinguished career in theatre for nearly fifty years, including performances as various characters in Shakespearean productions. However, he is most famous for his roles as Captain Jean-Luc Picard in Star Trek: The Next Generation, and as Professor Xavier in the X-Men film franchise.
...
Stewart was born in Mirfield, West Yorkshire, England to Gladys, a weaver and textile worker, and Alfred Stewart, a Regimental Sergeant Major in the British Army.
The HMS Phoebe was commissioned 33 months, 4 weeks, 1 day, after 7/16/1963, which produces a 33-41 clue, where 41 is for the 41 gun salute for royalty. There is a similar connection in that Ronald Reagan was precisely 41 years old on the day Queen Elizabeth II was coronated. I believe it was the timing of that particular detail that resulted in her being my paternal grandmother and he becoming my maternal grandfather.
HMS Phoebe (F42) was a Leander-class frigate of the Royal Navy (RN). She was, like the rest of her class, named after a figure of mythology. She was built by Vickers on the Tyne. She was launched on the 19th December 1964 and commissioned on the 15th May 1966.
Warship was an extremely popular British television drama series produced by the BBC between 1973 and 1977.
The series dealt with life on board a Royal Navy warship, the fictional HMS Hero. It was mainly filmed aboard the Leander-class frigate 'HMS 'Phoebe.
Warship was a drama series ‘launched’ by BBC Television in the summer of 1973 about the adventures of the Royal Navy Leander Class Frigate HMS Hero. Thanks to an unprecedented collaboration between the Royal Navy and the BBC at the time it also had a very strong documentary background due to extensive location footage shot on board. The series took as its central premise the lives and duties and explored the rigours and hardships faced by seamen on tours of duty across the globe. The stories of those serving on board, actually real-life frigate HMS Phoebe, were designed to reflect the changing nature of the Royal Navy in the early 1970s.
The primary focus for most stories was on the Captain and his fellow officers, only occasionally exploring the lower decks to portray storylines featuring the other ranks. Storylines either featured a variety of crises at sea (smuggling, the evacuation of British nationals from war-torn locales, gun-running etc.) or would feature the personal stories of officers and other ranks (romantic or otherwise) and the impact these personal issues had on their professional lives and duties.
HMS Hero was captained by three diverse, and often drastically so, officers throughout the life of the series: Donald Burton as Commander Mark Nialls, a high flying young officer, (in the first two seasons), Bryan Marshall as Commander Glenn, former naval pilot, (for the third season) and Derek Godfrey as Captain Edward Kelvin Holt, former submariner, (in the fourth and final season).

That series premiered precisely 3 years before I landed on the Saturn moon Phoebe. The HMS Phoebe forms a 33-41 connection with Phoebe Cates birthday.
The episode that premiered the day before I recognize as my first landing on the planet Mars was "Knight Errant."
A knight-errant (plural knights-errant) is a figure of medieval chivalric romance literature. "Errant" meaning wandering or roving, indicates how the knight-errant would typically wander the land in search of adventures to prove himself as a knight, such as in a pas d'Armes.
The first known appearance of the term "knight-errant" was in the 14th century Sir Gawain and the Green Knight, where Sir Gawain arrives at the castle of Sir Bercilak de Haudesert after long journeys, and Sir Bercilak goes to welcome the "knygt erraunt."
Many knights-errant fit the ideal of the "knight in shining armor". A knight-errant performed all his deeds in the name of a lady, and invoked her name before performing an exploit. Such a knight might well be outside the structure of feudalism, wandering solely to perform noble exploits (and perhaps to find a lord to give his service to), but might also be in service to a king or lord, traveling either in pursuit of a specific duty that his overlord charged him with (as Sir Gareth rescuing the Lady Lyonesse), or to put down evildoers in general. This quest sends a knight on adventures much like the ones of a knight in search of them, as he happens on the same marvels; in The Faerie Queen, St. George is sent to rescue Una's parents' kingdom from a dragon, and Guyon has no such quest, but both knights encounter perils and adventures.
In the romances, his adventures frequently included greater foes than other knights, including giants, enchantresses, or dragons. They may also gain help that is out of ordinary; Sir Ywain assisted a lion against a serpent, and was thereafter accompanied by it, becoming the Knight of the Lion. Other knight-errants have been assisted by wild men of the woods, as in Valentine and Orson, or, like Guillaume de Palerme, by wolves that were, in fact, enchanted princes.
This all further reinforces my belief that I am the luckiest guy in the world because my marriage such an incredible woman was all probably arranged before we were both even born. What are the odds?
I noted earlier the 33-7-59 for the USS Ronald Reagan CVN-76, and this seems to be a similar clue. I started wondering today how I even know that the number 7 is considered lucky in some cultures. There is also the notion that I was 7 years old when I first launched with Gemini 12 and then the first manned flight of the Apollo series was Apollo 7.

The originator of the idea for the series and main script editor was a serving Royal Navy officer, Ian Mackintosh. HMS Hero was - quite intentionally - portrayed as being captained by three very diverse officers in the series. Leading cast members included (portraying the Captain): Donald Burton as Commander Mark Nialls, a high flying young officer (in the first two seasons), Bryan Marshall as Commander Alan Glenn, a former Fleet Air Arm fighter pilot (for the third season) and Derek Godfrey as Captain Edward Holt, a former nuclear submariner, (in the fourth and final season). Other actors in the series included John Lee, Andrew Burt, Don Henderson, Norman Eshley, James Cosmo and David Savile.

The originator of the idea for the series and main script editor was a serving Royal Navy officer, Ian Mackintosh. HMS Hero was - quite intentionally - portrayed as being captained by three very diverse officers in the series. Leading cast members included (portraying the Captain): Donald Burton as Commander Mark Nialls, a high flying young officer (in the first two seasons), Bryan Marshall as Commander Alan Glenn, a former Fleet Air Arm fighter pilot (for the third season) and Derek Godfrey as Captain Edward Holt, a former nuclear submariner, (in the fourth and final season). Other actors in the series included John Lee, Andrew Burt, Don Henderson, Norman Eshley, James Cosmo and David Savile.
USS Harry S. Truman CVN-75
The USS Harry S. Truman CVN-75 was commissioned on a date that connects Phoebe's birthday to 11/25/1986. I assume this was created to reflect that I made it back to her that time and I was going to make it back to her again. It would be relevant to this current deployment because the ship was commissioned in 1998, which was when I underwent the medical treatment to suppress my real memories from conscious awareness. Those real memories were suppressed and deflected by artificial and symbolic memories.
From 3/3/1959 to 7/25/1998 is: 14389 days
From 7/16/1963 to 11/25/1986 is: 8533 days
8533 / 14389 = 0.593
USS Harry S. Truman (CVN 75)
Commissioned: July 25, 1998
I think the '75' was selected for the hull number because I launched in 1975 on my mission to intercept the comet in the outer solar system. That was another mission that turned into a one-way trip during the mission but I beat the odds there, too. I still have not gotten to go home to my wife so that means the terrorists, such as Microsoft-Corbis, George W. Bush, Dave Reichert, Norm Maleng, to name a few, are still trying to do whatever those terrorists are trying to do to me. Just an ordinary day.
I noted earlier some details about the 1998 movie "Armageddon" and the 1976 movie "Midway." The actor Bruce Willis portrays a character named "Harry S. Stamper" in "Armageddon" and is sent to destroy an asteroid on a collision course with Earth. The birthday of Angelina Jolie - whom I believe is my daughter and was just a baby when I went on my real mission to the comet - and the actress who portrays the daughter of "Harry S. Stamper" forms an anchor with the release date of the 1976 movie "Midway." I also noted earlier that "Midway" was around the mid-point of my mission to intercept the comet and the release date of the movie points to a 5-9-3 clue. In the movie "Armageddon," the boyfriend of "Harry S. Stamper's" daughter was named "A.J." The NASA administrator portrayed by Billy Bob Thornton in "Armageddon" was named "Truman."
I assume this commissioning date was selected for that '7' there in between the '33' and the '59' to represent good luck.

USS Preble DDG-88
Why do I have that "memory" of that car wreck in Charlotte? I saw it happen in front of me in downtown. A car in front of me ran a red light and slammed into a woman's car. The woman's husband later sent me a letter thanking me for helping her get out of the car, which I think was on fire, or at least smoking. That letter was in a filing cabinet in that storage locker I lost control of after I became homeless. I can still visualize that wreck and stopping to see if they were all right. I was driving to that law firm where Tina Mason worked because I maintained their computers. I worked for a company named Eagle, which was based in Columbia.
It's looks like USS Preble DDG-88 might connect the Medal of Honor I might have earned on 6/19/1968. I further assume that the '88' connects to the Medal of Honor from 1988. The reason that Preble was selected for that particular ship could be because it was the USS Preble that Lt. Lassen was assigned to, according to what I read. I have been thinking that Lt. Lassen earned a Medal of Honor for rescuing me after I had been shot down while earning my first Medal of Honor. I was in extremely hostile territory and he managed to get me out.
Could this be because I earned my 5th Medal of Honor in 1988?
From 3/3/1959 to 11/9/2002 is: 15957 days
15957 * 0.3359 = 5,359
I have been thinking that I earned my first Medal of Honor in 1968, the second in 1970. My trip to the outer solar system, I think, was sponsored by Queen Elizabeth II, for which I was inducted into the Order of the Garter, among other awards, and for which I have artificial and symbolic memories. She might have sponsored all of my space flights. My third Medal of Honor was from 1981, the fourth was from 1986/1987, and the fifth was in 1988.

USS Preble (DDG-88) was commissioned 9 November 2002 at the World Trade Center in Boston, Massachusetts.
The USS Lassen DDG-82 was the 4th ship of the 3rd sub-class of the Arleight Burke guided-missile destroyers. I assume that is because I graduated from the U.S. Naval Academy in 1982 after 4 years of attendance. The three sub-classes might be because I graduated Princeton University, Oxford University, and then U.S. Naval Academy.
I noted earlier that the USS Princeton CG-59 was commissioned 359 months, 1 week, after 3/4/1959.
The ship before that was the USS Philippine Sea CG-58 and was commissioned, according to the source, on my 30th birthday. I assume the hull number was chosen as '58' because Philip is my father's name.
USS Philippine Sea (CG 58)
Commissioned: March 3, 1989
The USS Porter DDG-78 connects somehow, I assume, to when I began attendance at the U.S. Naval Academy in 1978. Also listed below is an annoucement from President Reagan on the day I recognize as my graduation day from the U.S. Naval Academy. I also read a newspaper article dated 4/30/1982 that proclaimed that the U.S. was backing the British in the Falklands War and that their adversaries, Argentina, was 'stupified' by that announcement from the U.S. A few days later, the HMS Sheffield was hit and that was probably because I was on it and because it was retaliation for the sinking of the Belgrano.

I don't know why this is but the commissioning of USS Porter DDG-78 points to my first landing on the planet Mars. The Porter was commissioned on 3/20/1999 and I recognize 4/30/1982 as my commissioning date. I recognize the date 1/21/1976 as when I first landed on the planet Mars.

070523-N-5248R-277 NORFOLK (May 23, 2007) - A Sailor assigned to aircraft carrier USS Dwight D. Eisenhower (CVN 69) greets his wife following the ship's return to Naval Station Norfolk after the longest deployment by a carrier strike group since 2003.

070523-N-7653W-117 NORFOLK (May 23, 2007) - Family and friends welcome home Sailors assigned to guided-missile destroyer USS Mason (DDG 87) as they return to Naval Station Norfolk after the longest deployment by a carrier strike group since 2003.

The enlisted U.S. Navy sailors in the recent photos with the two service stripes on their lower left sleeve have been in the Navy for at least 8 years. Enlisted U.S. Navy sailors wear one service stripe on the lower left sleeve of certain uniform to represent 4 years of service. I have been away from my wife on this current deployment for 9.19 years. I don't consciously remember the exact day I left for this deployment, but clues I have found suggest I have it right.

In my artificial and symbolic memory, Tina Mason is the woman who worked at the law firm I worked at and that had the son named Philip. She had a distinct resemblance, in my artificial and symbolic memory, to the actress Bette Davis, specifically in her eyes. I can "remember" standing outside her apartment with them looking into the night sky at Comet Hale-Bopp.
I am also thinking that USS Mason DDG-87 has some connection to my return home from Africa in 1987.
I have seen this kind of clue also with the commissioning date of the USS Cole DDG-67. In this case, the notion is to reflect that I returned home in 1987 after I was shot down by anti-aircraft fire on 2/14/1986. I was a POW in Libya until 4/14/1986 and then my family had a funeral service for me on 11/25/1986, thinking I had been killed when my prison was bombed by the U.S. Navy to give me a chance to escape and to return home. This clue follows a basic pattern of having some kind of anchor to connect two dates relevant to my identity and experiences.
From 2/14/1986 to 1/13/1987 is: 333 days
From 1/13/1987 to 4/12/2003 is: 5933 days
That 1/13/1987 anchor date for the USS Mason DDG-87 was also precisely in the middle of when they had a funeral for me and my 28th birthday.
From 11/25/1986 to 1/13/1987 is: 49 days
From 1/13/1987 to 3/3/1987 is: 49 days
The clue for the USS Shoup DDG-86 is similar to the recent release of the "Astronaut" album from Duran Duran. I recognize the date 2/14/1986 as when I was shot down by anti-aircraft fire somewhere on the continent of Africa. I was a POW of the Libyans until my prison was bombed on 4/14/1986 and I escaped into the desert. This clue uses a calculation of two-thirds of my time as a POW, which produces a day that connects to the commissioning date of the USS Shoup DG-86.
From 2/14/1986 to 4/14/1986 is: 59 days
59 / 3 * 2 = 39
From 2/14/1986 to 3/25/1986 is: 39 days
From 3/25/1986 to 6/22/2002 is: 5933 days
USS Shoup (DDG-86) is an Arleigh Burke-class destroyer in the United States Navy. Construction on the ship began at the Northrop Grumman Ship Systems' Ingalls Operations on 10 November 1998.

The vessel was delivered to the Navy by Northrop Grumman on 18 February 2002 and departed Pascagoula on 22 April 2002. Shoup was commissioned on 22 June 2002 at Port Terminal 37 in Seattle, Washington.

UNITED STATES MARINE CORPS
for service as set forth in the following CITATION:
For conspicuous gallantry and intrepidity at the risk of his life above and beyond the call of duty as commanding officer of all Marine Corps troops in action against enemy Japanese forces on Betio Island, Tarawa Atoll, Gilbert Islands, from 20 to 22 November 1943. Although severely shocked by an exploding enemy shell soon after landing at the pier and suffering from a serious, painful leg wound which had become infected, Col. Shoup fearlessly exposed himself to the terrific and relentless artillery, machinegun, and rifle fire from hostile shore emplacements. Rallying his hesitant troops by his own inspiring heroism, he gallantly led them across the fringing reefs to charge the heavily fortified island and reinforce our hard-pressed, thinly held lines. Upon arrival on shore, he assumed command of all landed troops and, working without rest under constant, withering enemy fire during the next 2 days, conducted smashing attacks against unbelievably strong and fanatically defended Japanese positions despite innumerable obstacles and heavy casualties. By his brilliant leadership daring tactics, and selfless devotion to duty, Col. Shoup was largely responsible for the final decisive defeat of the enemy, and his indomitable fighting spirit reflects great credit upon the U.S. Naval Service.
George W. Bush - pending convict
This movie premiered about 3 weeks after I would have completed my escape from Africa. The premier date points back to the day my escape started: when the U.S. Navy bombed the Libyan prison I was being held at to give me a chance to escape captivity. While my family had a funeral service for me on 11/25/1986, I imagine that a lot of people who knew me didn't really believe I was dead and that I was actually lost somewhere in the desert, which was true.

NEW YORK (AP) - Democrat John Edwards Wednesday repudiated the notion that there is a "global war on terror," calling it an ideological doctrine advanced by the Bush administration that has strained American military resources and emboldened terrorists.
In a defense policy speech to the Council on Foreign Relations, Edwards called the war on terror a "bumper sticker" slogan Bush had used to justify everything from abuses at the Abu Ghraib prison to the invasion of Iraq.
"We need a post-Bush, post-9/11, post-Iraq military that is mission focused on protecting Americans from 21st-century threats, not misused for discredited ideological purposes," Edwards said. "By framing this as a war, we have walked right into the trap the terrorists have set - that we are engaged in some kind of clash of civilizations and a war on Islam."

George W. Bush - thief, murderer, and national traitor
Michael Chertoff replaced Tom Ridge as Secretary of Homeland Security in 2005.
Michael Chertoff is 1 year, 334 days, older than Bill Gates.
From 11/28/1953 to 10/28/1955 is: 1 year, 334 days
Michael Chertoff (born November 28, 1953) is the current United States Secretary of Homeland Security including jurisdiction over FEMA for national disaster management. He previously served as a judge on the United States Court of Appeals, as a federal prosecutor, and as assistant U.S. Attorney General. He was nominated to succeed Tom Ridge as Secretary of the Department of Homeland Security by President George W. Bush on January 11, 2005. His nomination was confirmed by the U.S. Senate on February 15, 2005, in a unanimous 98-0 vote, and Chertoff was sworn into office the same day (although a ceremonial swearing-in presided over by Bush took place on March 3).
William Henry Gates III (born October 28, 1955) is an American entrepreneur, philanthropist, and the chairman of Microsoft, the software company he founded with Paul Allen.
These observations support my belief that I and my associates are under attack by a sophisticated plot by Al Qaeda. Their plan is supported by traitors within the U.S. government as well as the local government of King County, Washington.
John Connors was appointed Chief Financial Officer of Microsoft on 1/7/2000. That was 5 days, 9 months, before the USS Cole DDG-67 was attacked on 10/12/2000.
The attack on the USS Cole DDG-67 was 334 days before the Pentagon and World Trade Center was attacked on 9/11/2001. The date 9/11/2001 was 33 months, 4 days, after 12/7/1998, the date Microsoft arranged as my first day of employment at Microsoft.
After the 9/11/2001 attacks, Tom Ridge was appointed the first Security of Homeland Security. According to information on the internet, he was George W. Bush’s Assistant for Homeland Security before his appointment as Secretary.
Tom Ridge turned 666 months old on 2/27/2001. That was 59 weeks, 4 days, after 1/7/2000, the day John Connors was appointed CFO of Microsoft. “John Connor” is a pivotal character in the 1984 movie “The Terminator” and around the same time he took over as CFO, Microsoft had me sitting next to a woman with very similar hair of the “Sarah Connor” character from that movie. They were recording all that secretly on video.
I believe that Al Qaeda has control of the Executive branch of the U.S. government at the highest levels.
The Number of the Beast is a concept from the Book of Revelation of the New Testament of the Christian Bible. The Number is 666 in modern texts, although 616 and 665 appear instead in at least one ancient source.[1] Scholars contend that the number is a code for the Roman Emperor Nero,[2] a view that is supported by the Roman Catholic Church[3] [4], but is disputed by those who intepret Revelation as prophesying the "last days" of the great tribulation to come immediately before Judgement Day.
George W. Bush, based on information I found on the internet, was 33 years, 3 months, 4 weeks, 1 day, old on 11/4/1979, the day the Tehran embassy hostage crisis began. I believe I was not only part of Operation Eagle Claw, in 1980, along with other activities to get them out, but I was also the pilot of the aircraft that brought the former hostage/POW's home in 1981. Linda Tripp (11/24/1949), of the Monica Lewinsky fame, was 359.3 months old on 11/4/1979.
Monica Lewinsky (7/23/1973) was allegedly - and I believe she was lying about the whole affair - involved in a sexual relationship with President Clinton beginning in November 1995, according to sources on the internet. That was just about the time I went into Microsoft the first time to establish probable cause. On the day of Bill Gates 40th birthday, 10/28/1995, Monica Lewinsky was 8132 days old. I was 8132 days old on 6/7/1981, the date of the strike on the unfinished nuclear reactor near Baghdad. Her relationship with President allegedly began a few weeks after that point when she was 8132 days old and I believe Bill Gates sent her in to set him up because law enforcement was investigating terrorist activity at Microsoft. I believe Bill Gates recruited her for that criminal endeavor because she had been 35 months, 9 days, old on 7/2/1976, and that particular historical but secret detail is what got her into the White House.
Pat Tillman, the soldier killed in Afghanistan, was 35.9 months old, on 11/4/1979.
When the 9/11 attacks occurred, George W. Bush was sitting in a 2nd-grade classroom listening to the story "The Pet Goat." The goat, specifically, Bill The Goat, is the mascot of the U.S. Naval Academy. The pilot assigned to the aircraft that was hijacked and crashed into the Pentagon that day was, according to information on the internet, a 1971 graduate of the U.S. Naval Academy. His birthday was 3459 days before my 3/3/1959 and 3/4/1959 is recognized by some of my family as my birthday. I recognize that the year 1982 was when I graduated from the U.S. Naval Academy.

John Timothy Griffin (born August 21, 1968), the current interim US Attorney for the Eastern District of Arkansas. He received attention in the 2006 Dismissal of U.S. Attorneys controversy when he was chosen to replace US Attorney Bud Cummins.
…
Documents released by a subsequent Congressional investigation showed that, in the summer of 2006, White House "officials were eager to free up the prosecutor's slot in Little Rock, Ark., so it could be filled by Timothy Griffin, a GOP operative close to White House political advisor Karl Rove, at all costs."[3] Prior to this he was a top Republican researcher and aide to Rove.[4] He was hand selected by Rove to be a US Attorney
Dismissal of U.S. attorneys controversy
The dismissal of U.S. Attorneys controversy, also referred to as Attorneygate,[1] is an ongoing political dispute concerning the dismissal of eight United States Attorneys by the George W. Bush administration in late 2006 and early 2007. The controversy received nationwide attention in March 2007. Multiple news organizations, as well as administration critics, have described it as a "scandal"[2][3][4] or "furor".[5] Attorney General Alberto Gonzales described it as "an overblown personnel matter."[6]
The dismissed United States Attorneys had been appointed by President George W. Bush and confirmed by the Senate. A key issue in the controversy is the political nature of any Senate-confirmed appointment to office, and the 2006 revision of the USA PATRIOT Act, amending the United States Code to permit the term of an interim U.S. Attorney to last until a presidentially nominated replacement is approved by the Senate. The amendment gives the United States Attorney General (the Presidential Cabinet officer authorized to appoint interim U.S. Attorneys) the power to appoint U.S. Attorneys without Senate approval.[7] On March 20, 2007, the Senate voted to overturn this provision by a vote of 94-2.[8] On March 26, the House of Representatives overturned it as well, by a vote of 329-78.[9]
Another concern involves the actual reasons for the dismissals. Critics say that the attorneys were fired for failing to prosecute enough Democrats (at the request of Pete Domenici and Heather Wilson), or as retribution for prosecuting Republicans (such as the prosecution of Randy Cunningham by Carol Lam or the investigation of Rick Renzi by Paul Charlton). The administration and its supporters say the attorneys were dismissed for job-performance reasons "related to policy, priorities and management", and that United States Attorneys serve at the pleasure of the president. Under U.S. law the President has discretion to dismiss these Attorneys without cause, but legal scholars have stated that firing attorneys to block investigations and pursue political retribution could violate the duty of the President to faithfully execute the laws under the constitution and could be construed as "corrupting" a government proceeding in violation of federal law.
Chandra Levy was born on 4/14/1977, according to information I found on the internet, as I believe it was because of her birth date that she was murdered.
Paul Wolfowitz, former Deputy Secretary of Defense, was 33.3 years old on that day, 4/14/1977. Also, Andrew Card, formerly of George W. Bush's staff, was 359 months, 3 days, old on 4/14/1977.
Dan Bartlett, of George W. Bush's staff, was 59 months, 3 weeks, 3 days, old on 12/30/1975. That is the date listed as golfer Tiger Woods birthday. I believe that Tiger Woods is my son in my real life.
On the date 1/27/2000, Scooter Libby, formerly of Dick Cheney's staff, was 593 months, 5 days, old. Libby - Libyan
Also on the date 1/27/2000, I had been working undercover at Microsoft for 59 weeks, 3 days, having started there on 12/7/1998.
The date 1/27/2000 was 359 days before 1/20/2001, the day George W. Bush and Dick Cheney took office.
Of the two shooters at the Columbine massacre, the first guy listed below was born 59 days before 6/7/1981. The date 6/7/1981 is the date known as when the Israeli Air Force destroyed the nuclear reactor Saddam Hussein was building and before it could be loaded with radioactive fuel. The rationale was that he was going to make nuclear weapons and that he would probably have used those weapons. I can’t remember for certain, but I am quite certain that I covertly led and trained the Israeli Air Force pilots for that mission, possibly on my own initiative, while I was a U.S. Navy Midshipman.
The first one was born 59 days before 6/7/1981 and the second one was born 3 months, 4 days, after 6/7/1981. I believe I led that strike on 6/7/1981 into Iraq and that my birthday is recognized in my father’s homeland as 3/4/1959. That second ones birth was also precisely 20 years before 9/11/2001.
The Columbine massacre occurred 4.433 months after 12/7/1998, my first day of employment while undercover at Microsoft. The 9/11/2001 attacks occurred 334 days after the USS Cole DDG-67 attacks and also 33 weeks, 4 days, after 12/7/1998. Bill Gates commented on 12/7/1998 that the U.S. government was out to destroy Microsoft.
Eric David Harris (April 9, 1981 – April 20, 1999) and Dylan Bennet Klebold (September 11, 1981 – April 20, 1999), both high school seniors, were the perpetrators of the Columbine High School massacre. The school is located in Jefferson County, Colorado (near Denver and Littleton), U.S.. On Tuesday, April 20, 1999, the two launched a rampage, killing 12 classmates and one teacher. Both Harris, 18 years old, and Klebold, 17, committed suicide after the killings.

American Airlines Flight 11 was the first flight hijacked in the September 11, 2001 attacks. It was an American Airlines flight aboard a Boeing 767-223ER aircraft, registration number N334AA
When I read about this hijacked aircraft, I recognized the Microsoft employee ID 75612 that Microsoft assigned to me on 12/7/1998, which was 33 months, 4 days, before 9/11/2001:
Flight 175
Tail number N612UA
United Airlines Flight 175 was a morning flight that regularly flew from Logan International Airport in East Boston, Massachusetts to Los Angeles International Airport (LAX) in Los Angeles, California (Boston–Los Angeles route). On September 11, 2001, the United Airlines Boeing 767-222, registered N612UA
This aircraft had the '591' in the registration number on the tail:
United Airlines Flight 93 was a regular flight from Newark International Airport (now known as Newark Liberty International Airport) in Newark, New Jersey, to San Francisco International Airport, then continuing on to Narita International Airport in Tokyo, Japan, on a different aircraft. On September 11, 2001, the United Airlines Boeing 757-222, registered N591UA
The pilot of Flight 77 that went into the Pentagon was 3459 days older than I am.
From 9/12/1949 to 3/3/1959 is: 3459 days
Charles Frank "Chic" Burlingame III (September 12, 1949 - September 11, 2001) was the pilot of American Airlines Flight 77, the aircraft that was crashed by terrorists into the Pentagon during the September 11, 2001 attacks.
Michael Chertoff is 1 year, 334 days, older than Bill Gates.
From 11/28/1953 to 10/28/1955 is: 1 year, 334 days
Michael Chertoff (born November 28, 1953) is the current United States Secretary of Homeland Security including jurisdiction over FEMA for national disaster management. He previously served as a judge on the United States Court of Appeals, as a federal prosecutor, and as assistant U.S. Attorney General. He was nominated to succeed Tom Ridge as Secretary of the Department of Homeland Security by President George W. Bush on January 11, 2005. His nomination was confirmed by the U.S. Senate on February 15, 2005, in a unanimous 98-0 vote, and Chertoff was sworn into office the same day (although a ceremonial swearing-in presided over by Bush took place on March 3).
William Henry Gates III (born October 28, 1955) is an American entrepreneur, philanthropist, and the chairman of Microsoft, the software company he founded with Paul Allen.
These observations support my belief that I and my associates are under attack by a sophisticated plot by Al Qaeda. Their plan is supported by traitors within the U.S. government as well as the local government of King County, Washington.
John Connors was appointed Chief Financial Officer of Microsoft on 1/7/2000. That was 5 days, 9 months, before the USS Cole DDG-67 was attacked on 10/12/2000.
The attack on the USS Cole DDG-67 was 334 days before the Pentagon and World Trade Center was attacked on 9/11/2001. The date 9/11/2001 was 33 months, 4 days, after 12/7/1998, the date Microsoft arranged as my first day of employment at Microsoft.
After the 9/11/2001 attacks, Tom Ridge was appointed the first Security of Homeland Security. According to information on the internet, he was George W. Bush’s Assistant for Homeland Security before his appointment as Secretary.
Tom Ridge turned 666 months old on 2/27/2001. That was 59 weeks, 4 days, after 1/7/2000, the day John Connors was appointed CFO of Microsoft. “John Connor” is a pivotal character in the 1984 movie “The Terminator” and around the same time he took over as CFO, Microsoft had me sitting next to a woman with very similar hair of the “Sarah Connor” character from that movie. They were recording all that secretly on video.
I believe that Al Qaeda has control of the Executive branch of the U.S. government at the highest levels.
The Number of the Beast is a concept from the Book of Revelation of the New Testament of the Christian Bible. The Number is 666 in modern texts, although 616 and 665 appear instead in at least one ancient source.[1] Scholars contend that the number is a code for the Roman Emperor Nero,[2] a view that is supported by the Roman Catholic Church[3] [4], but is disputed by those who intepret Revelation as prophesying the "last days" of the great tribulation to come immediately before Judgement Day.
George W. Bush, based on information I found on the internet, was 33 years, 3 months, 4 weeks, 1 day, old on 11/4/1979, the day the Tehran embassy hostage crisis began. I believe I was not only part of Operation Eagle Claw, in 1980, along with other activities to get them out, but I was also the pilot of the aircraft that brought the former hostage/POW's home in 1981. Linda Tripp (11/24/1949), of the Monica Lewinsky fame, was 359.3 months old on 11/4/1979.
Monica Lewinsky (7/23/1973) was allegedly - and I believe she was lying about the whole affair - involved in a sexual relationship with President Clinton beginning in November 1995, according to sources on the internet. That was just about the time I went into Microsoft the first time to establish probable cause. On the day of Bill Gates 40th birthday, 10/28/1995, Monica Lewinsky was 8132 days old. I was 8132 days old on 6/7/1981, the date of the strike on the unfinished nuclear reactor near Baghdad. Her relationship with President allegedly began a few weeks after that point when she was 8132 days old and I believe Bill Gates sent her in to set him up because law enforcement was investigating terrorist activity at Microsoft. I believe Bill Gates recruited her for that criminal endeavor because she had been 35 months, 9 days, old on 7/2/1976, and that particular historical but secret detail is what got her into the White House.
Pat Tillman, the soldier killed in Afghanistan, was 35.9 months old, on 11/4/1979.
When the 9/11 attacks occurred, George W. Bush was sitting in a 2nd-grade classroom listening to the story "The Pet Goat."

Who needs a parade when you can watch a U.S. Navy warship getting underway? If I could choose any ship I wanted for a personal yacht, it would be a Burke-class destroyer.

At that time in 1982, I would have been out in the U.S. Navy fleet flying the F-14 Tomcat, where the person in the backseat of that aircraft was called the R.I.O., or Radar Intercept Officer. There is probably some kind of inside joke between us that she was my RIO when I was home. Something like that. Something about how I thought of her.

Clint Eastwood (born Clinton Eastwood, Jr. on May 31, 1930) is an iconic American actor, composer, and Academy Award-winning film director and film producer. While his recent work as a director, on films like Million Dollar Baby and Letters from Iwo Jima, is consistently praised by critics, Eastwood is perhaps most famous for his tough guy, anti-hero acting roles, including Inspector 'Dirty' Harry Callahan in the Dirty Harry series and the Man with No Name in Sergio Leone's Spaghetti Westerns.
Release date(s) December 5, 1986
Heartbreak Ridge is a 1986 film, starring Clint Eastwood (who also produced and directed) and Mario Van Peebles, about the 1983 U.S. invasion of Grenada, West Indies. A portion of the movie was filmed on the island itself.
The title comes from the Battle of Heartbreak Ridge, fought during the Korean War in 1951 by soldiers of the U.S. Army's 2nd Infantry Division, along with those of the French Battalion, against the North Korean Army. The character played by Eastwood was awarded the Medal of Honor as a result of his heroic actions there, and later joins the United States Marine Corps. In the film, he is a tough, grizzled Marine Gunnery Sergeant, with several wars and many battles under his belt.
The 1983 Beirut barracks bombing was a major incident during the Lebanese Civil War. Two truck bombs struck buildings in Beirut housing U.S. and French members of the Multinational Force in Lebanon, killing hundreds of soldiers, the majority being U.S. Marines. The October 23, 1983, blasts led to the withdrawal of the international peacekeeping force from Lebanon, where they had been stationed since the Israeli 1982 invasion of Lebanon.
The Invasion of Grenada, codenamed Operation Urgent Fury, was an invasion of the island nation of Grenada by the United States of America and several other nations in response to a coup d’état by Deputy Prime Minister Bernard Coard. From October 25, 1983, the United States, Barbados, Jamaica and members of the Organization of Eastern Caribbean States landed ships on Grenada, defeated Grenadian and Cuban resistance and overthrew Coard's government. October 25 is a national holiday of Grenada, called Thanksgiving Day, to commemorate this event.

Radiant cheerfulness
"The sunshine disappeared for a moment, but I think it was from a cloud that had dropped her off beside me. The side of her face sang that song as her flowing hair danced fearlessly across the old barbed-wire squeezing my heart. Again I asked the grumpy pavement to give me an arrow, a directional, anything, that shows me the way home."
...I did see a beautiful young woman when I went outside that I wanted to give flowers to, but I couldn't, so that is a crime. She is probably sitting at home somewhere, wondering why no one sent her any flowers today. Somewhere else a group of flowers sit huddled together for the rest of their lives, maybe not even leaving their shelf, or maybe they went to another home, breathing in the smile of someone they weren't destined to care about as much.

The U.S. Navy Captain behind the scenes.
070521-N-4995K-038 FORT ROSECRANS, Calif. (May 21, 2007) - Capt. Bradford Ableson reflects upon the life accomplishments of Walter Schirra, a retired Navy Capt. and astronaut who passed away May 3, 2007 at the age of 84.

The thought occured to me after glancing at one of this Harrier against the darkening sky that it resembled an F-4 Phantom. An impression. I have been thinking that I was flying the F-4 Phantom in combat during the Vietnam War. I also imagine that I have flown the Harrier, possibly with the Royal Navy during the Falklands War. I might have trained their pilots on the Harrier. There is also something I was reading about a battle at Mt. Harriet during the Falklands War I might have witnessed.

Memphis
Memphis (mythology)
In Greek mythology, Memphis was the wife to Epaphus, mother of Libya and sometimes the daughter of Nilus. She and her husband were the legendary founders of Memphis, which bears her name.
memphis
An ancient city of Egypt south of Cairo. Reputedly founded by Menes, the first king of united Egypt, it retained its primacy until the conquest of Egypt by Alexander the Great. Its remains include an extensive necropolis.
A necropolis (plural: necropolises or necropoleis) is a large cemetery or burial place (from Greek nekropolis "city of the dead"). Apart from the occasional application of the word to modern cemeteries outside large towns, the term is chiefly used of burial grounds near the sites of the centers of ancient civilizations.
Arlington National Cemetery, in Arlington, Virginia, is an American military cemetery established during the American Civil War on the grounds of Arlington House, formerly the estate of the family of Robert E. Lee's wife Mary Anna Custis Lee, a descendant of Martha Washington. The cemetery is situated directly across the Potomac River from Washington, D.C., near to the location of The Pentagon, and is served by the Arlington Cemetery station on the Blue Line of the Washington Metro system.

New Medal of Honor Museum honors selfless service to country, comrades
...
The museum is the principal repository for artifacts relating to the Medal of Honor, but the real thrust of the place is not just the display of things but also the perpetuation of the concept of selfless service to country and comrades. There is an emotion generated there that can be duplicated nowhere else, and one reason is the actions of people. Try these:
Jack Lucas
Jack Lucas was a bit bigger than other kids his age and spent some time at a military prep school. So, when World War II began, he successfully lied about his age and enlisted in the Marines Corps when he was 13 years old. He was so good in boot camp that he was made an instructor, at 14. Not content to serve in the States while his buddies were in combat, he got himself aboard a ship bound for the South Pacific. Landing on Iwo Jima, Lucas saved his fellow Marines by throwing himself on two hand grenades. He miraculously survived devastating injuries, and when he received the Medal from President Harry Truman, Lucas was the youngest recipient since the Civil War.
...
The behavior of these gallant people was extraordinary, but the basic underpinnings of it are not. American service members are imbued with a code that transcends background, race and every other demographic distinction: don’t surrender if you can fight, never cooperate with your captors, accomplish the mission at all cost, love your comrades.
And so it’s not surprising that every recipient of the Medal of Honor will tell you that he wears it not for himself but for those who can’t: all the men and women who sacrificed so that we can live in freedom. It’s something worth remembering each time we have a chance to help our neighbors and instead turn the other way.
"It's the question that drives us"
Excellent job all these years proving that you are trying to murder a federal agent.
So, on one side of the equation, I have had my mind seriously scrambled and I have had to live away from my incredible wife for over 9 years. The terrorists at Microsoft-Corbis, in terms of personal impact on me, have made several attempts on my life since I have been on this particular undercover assignment. I have no idea when it will end.
On the other side of the equation, I determined that George W. Bush has been an accomplice to the theft of my identity, as he needs "political captital."
Makes no sense to me.
But as I wrote long ago as you were stealing my intellectual property, my billet number in U.S. Navy boot camp back in 1984 was "007." I wrote that, in my artificial and symbolic memory from that time, the boot camp company commander in Orlando called me "James Bond."

"When I wake up"
In my artificial and symbolic memory, I left Memphis and moved back to South Carolina to go back to working at the First Federal bank. I moved to an apartment named Hunter's Glen, which is on Issaqueena Trail in the town of Central, South Carolina, which is near the Clemson Tigers. My wife commented one time about how I told her I had moved back there because I wanted to come back to her. I think that Memphis relates to my escape from Africa in 1986 and 1987.
I moved from Memphis to a house I bought in Greer, South Carolina, at Country Club Estates, which is all in my artificial and symbolic memory. From what I can tell with a simple internet search, there is not even a house at the address I "remember" owning a house. It looks like an empty lot. I did find an image of the house I "remember" but it is too far down the street to be the result of my faulty memory. That detail was probably deliberate, because my official federal undercover identity was never really intended to be foolproof and should have given any investigator pause. The reason for the house in the town of Greer is because of the "Admiral Greer" character from the Tom Clancy novels. That character is the one that recruited "Jack Ryan" into the CIA in Tom Clancy's novels. I moved from Central, SC, near Clemson Tigers, to Greer, SC. After that I lived on the street Royal Point, then at Dresden near Sheffield, and then at Whitehall Estates. Pretty simple stuff. And 9 goddamned years later, I still do not know when I get to see my wife again.

I'm not sure where the 1988 release date comes from for this album, if it is relevant to my real identity, but it is interesting to note because it makes me think of my 15-month escape through Africa in 1986 and 1987. It could be that the album released on vinyl in 1988 and then on compact disc on 10/25/1990. I find that CD release date interesting because of how it relates to 11/25/1986, which is the date I recognize as when my family had a funeral service for me, thinking I had been killed when the Libyan prison I was being held in was bombed.

My artificial and symbolic are as part of this investigation into the terrorists in control of Microsoft-Corbis, such as Bill Gates, Steve Ballmer, and others, as is my official federal undercover identity. All you can do is to obstruct justice and an official federal investigation. If you have interfered with this investigation, then you are subject to prosecution. You had a choice and you chose to interfere. Every day has been an opportunity for you to step away, to take that earpiece from your ear, etc. You made the choice and you will be charged.
You are an accomplice to organized crime - such as those terrorists in control of Microsoft-Corbis, and their accomplices, working to steal my intellectual property.
You can't even make any political claims to my identity and intellectual property. When you have flushed as much salt water during combat as I have, or spilled as much blood as I have then....nothing. You have absolutely no claim to my life, experiences, anything.
You have been an active accomplice to the Microsoft-Corbis terrorists and their arson to cover up their criminal activity.
Charge everyone in the media that has been participating in the criminal activity of Microsoft-Corbis. The only exceptions are those that are directly related to my family, but they do not necessarily speak for my intellectual property strategy. All others will be receive federal charges.
One of you hangs, then you all hang. You motherfuckers have been listening to what I have to say and there it is.

Apollo 11
The Apollo 11 mission was the first mission to land on the Moon. It was the fifth human spaceflight of the Apollo programs, and the third human voyage to the moon. Launched on July 16, 1969, it carried Commander Neil Armstrong, Command Module Pilot Michael Collins and Lunar Module Pilot Edwin 'Buzz' Aldrin. On July 20, Armstrong and Aldrin became the first humans to land on the Moon, while Collins orbited above.
The mission fulfilled President John F. Kennedy's goal of "landing a man on the moon and returning him safely to the Earth by the time this decade is out". In other words by the end of the 1960s. Many consider the landing one of the defining moments of the 20th century.
…
At 2:56 UTC on July 21, Armstrong made his descent to the Moon's surface and spoke his famous line "That's one small step for (a) man, one giant leap for mankind" exactly six and a half hours after landing.[1] Aldrin joined him, saying, "Beautiful. Beautiful. Magnificent desolation." Then for two-and-a-half hours, they took notes, photographed what they saw, and drilled core samples.
This is another photo I found on the NASA website. There is a noticeable height difference between the two astronauts. I do not believe it is because the ground is sloped. Rather, I believe the height difference is because that was me, when I was a 10 years old boy, standing there next to Neil Armstrong. If my artificial and symbolic memories are correct, then I went out the lunar module first and then set up the camera to record Neil Armstrong taking the first step of a man on the surface of the Earth’s moon. So technically, it was the first time a man had stepped onto the Moon surface, although a boy had walked first on the Moon surface on 7/21/1969. I also read those those first words from Armstrong on the surface and I think that he describing my first step on the Moon, which was a pretty short step for someone that everyone thought was a man, while I was actually stepping with the short legs of a 10-year-old.

Bill Gates and his War On Heroism
In my artificial and symbolic memory, my wife asked me something one time about why we never took showers together.
I am still at a certain disadvantage here in writing this, for several reasons, but reading this article for the first time, gives me a couple ideas we should adhere to in the future. The first disadvantage, of course, is that I still don't remember any of these people as my family, but I think there is a reason I thought I walked past Patti Davis in the Pioneer Square gulag one day. The other idea is that we shouldn't use sarcasm when we talk about control of our intellectual property. What she writes makes sense to me, but when you have been thrown into limbo, you really have no idea what kind of decisions are being made about the intent of your writing. For example, I have lost all control over my identity and people, such as the paparazzi-media, constantly steal what I write. In this kind of situation, you have to be very clear that you want to maintain control over your identity, past and present. Even now as I write this in my private journal, I really have no idea how the paparazzi-terrorists, such as Microsoft-Corbis, KOMO4 TV, etc, will find a way to use this against me.

...Throughout the years, there have occasionally been offers to purchase the rights to my autobiography and I have always declined. Foolishly, I believed I had control over my own material. Apparently I don't.
Essentially, she was saying the same thing I was though. Until I began to understand just how much control I had lost over my identity, I wasn't really even sure how to express my displeasure. This is also why none of them are going to get away with it. People will remember what they have done to me over all these years, and they are going to remember how I responded once I woke up and understood what they were trying to start.
In Bill Gates' War On Heroism, there will undoubtedly be causalities. I protect my people.

The Battle of Princeton
This date of Daniel Pearl's death was the same day I had a wreck on my bicycle. That was precisely one year before the shuttle Columbia was destroyed with Ilan Ramon, while I was working with look-alike Tom Devey at Microsoft, as well as Ramona Ramadas.
I had two serious bicycle wrecks in the months after the 9/11 attacks. The Microsoft-Corbis terrorists weren't going to kill me outright because they were the most likely suspects. They put something on the road surface, since they knew precisely where I was and where I was going, and I had those two wrecks. The first wreck was on 12/23/2001 and I note that is Admiral Stockdale's birthday. Admiral Stockdale's 68th birthday seems to be a clue in the military DD-214 record associated with this official federal undercover identity that you have all been interfering with. The second bicycle wreck was when I went face first into the concrete sidewalk hard enough to leave me with a black eye. There is also something puzzling about how I had been deciding to not wear a bicycle helmet in the months before that wreck. I also wonder why I was actually looking at the concrete as I fell. Something unusal about all that. Considering how my memories are completely false, I have no idea what.....something
I am, without a doubt, experiencing a form of psychological warfare, not unlike I have endured as a Prisoner of War in past military operations.
Daniel Pearl (October 10, 1963 – February 1, 2002) was an American journalist who was kidnapped and murdered in Karachi, Pakistan. At the time of his kidnapping, Pearl had been investigating the case of Richard Reid, the shoe bomber, and alleged links between Al Qaeda and Pakistan's Inter-Services Intelligence (ISI).
...
Daniel Pearl was born in Princeton, New Jersey
The article refered to below suggests that Prince Philip, husband of Queen Elizabeth II, earned his pilots wings on 5/4/1953. The HMS Sheffield was hit on 5/4/1982, and I found a connection to that date and my first day at Princeton. I believe the Sheffield was hit because I was on it at that, having just graduated from the U.S. Naval Academy on 4/30/1982. I believe I was on the Sheffield specifically because the town of Sheffield is near the birth place of my real father. Since I am still operating with symbolic and artificial memories, I can only speculate whether that is true.

1953: Duke of Edinburgh gets his wings
The Duke of Edinburgh has been awarded his pilot's "wings" during a private ceremony at Buckingham Palace.
He was presented with the award by Air Chief Marshall Sir William Dickson, Chief of Air Staff.
The Duke's flying instructor, 29-year-old Flight-Lieutenant Caryl Ramsay Gordon was present at the ceremony.
Earlier in the day, he watched his royal pupil complete three solo circuits and landings, or "bumps" as they are called, at White Waltham airfield in Berkshire in order to qualify for his wings.
His Harvard aircraft bore the five stars denoting his rank of Marshal of the Royal Air Force.
An RAF examining unit had described his flying as "thoughtful with a sense of safety and airmanship above average".
This is the first time the wings have been presented by an officer junior in rank to the recipient and the first time an officer of such senior rank has received the award. Normally, pilots qualify long before they reach such a high rank.
There has been speculation that the Duke might fly the Queen to Balmoral next Sunday for a pre-coronation holiday. His royal counterpart in the Netherlands Prince Bernhard of the Netherlands often flies with his wife Queen Juliana as a passenger.
But last night an Air Ministry spokesman said the award does not permit the Duke to fly multi-engined aircraft.
"But even if the Duke goes on to qualify to fly multi-engined aircraft, I doubt if the government would agree to his piloting the Queen by himself," he told the press.
"However good the Duke is as a pilot, the selected RAF pilots who have daily flying practice must be preferable to the Duke, who will not have the time for such practice," he added.
It is interesting how close these dates are to a sequence of 5-9-3.
From 5/4/1953 to 5/4/1982 is: 10592 days
I recognize the date 9/2/1965 as my first day at Princeton University and the date 5/4/1982 was when the HMS Sheffield was hit. I noted that is the same time period as from my real birthday to 11/2/1975, which is the day I recognize as when I launched to intercept the comet.
From 9/2/1965 to 5/4/1982 is: 6088 days
From 3/3/1959 to 11/2/1975 is: 6088 days
This article also reminds me of that girlfriend, Rhonda Rochelle Ramsey, in my artificial and symbolic memory. I can't "remember" for certain the proper spelling for her last name. She is the girlfriend I "remember" taking to see "An Officer And A Gentleman" in my 1967 blue Chevrolet. I wrote something that makes me think she is my wife, in that she is Ronald Reagan's granddaughter-in-law. In my artificial and symbolic memory, Rhonda resembles that logo for Columbia Pictures of the woman holding the torch.
I wonder if this is the reason for that photo that seems to be of me flying Air Force One in 1982 with President Reagan sitting behind me.

From Saturday, April 21, 2007:
As I examine details associated with that Brooke-class of DEG/FFG, I see details associated with my activities. I see connections to Princeton University, my first flight into space, and my first solo flight of a jet aircraft, among others.
The second ship of that Brooke-class was USS Ramsey DEG-2/FFG-2 and Ramsey was the last name of that girlfriend with the initials R.R.R.
That ship USS Ramsey DEG-2/FFG-2 was commissioned 33 days after 5/1/67, which I recognized as the day I first flew a jet by myself. The date 5/1/1967 was 67 months, 3 weeks, 3 days, after the death of the namesake for the USS Ramsey DEG-2/FFG-2. That date 5/1/1967 was also 59 days after my 8th birthday on 3/3/1967.
From 5/1/1967 to 6/3/1967 is: 33 days
From 9/7/61 to 5/1/67 was 67 months, 3 weeks, 3 days.
From 3/3/1967 to 5/1/1967 is: 59 days
USS Ramsey (DEG/FFG-2) was a Brooke-class frigate in the United States Navy. She was named for Admiral DeWitt Clinton Ramsey.
Ramsey was laid down 4 February 1963 by Lockheed Shipbuilding & Construction Company, Seattle, Washington; launched 15 October 1963; sponsored by Mrs. DeWitt Clinton Ramsey; and commissioned 3 June 1967, Comdr. William D. Robertson, Jr., in command.
Admiral DeWitt Clinton Ramsey (2 October 1888 - 7 September 1961) was a U.S. Navy officer and pioneer Naval aviator who served as an aircraft-carrier commander during World War II, notably at the Battles of the Coral Sea and Midway.
The launch of Gemini 12 was 59 years, 331 days, after the death of the namesake of USS Brooke DEG-1/FFG-1. The spaceflight Gemini 12 was the last of the Gemini series and the flight that I recognize as my first launch into space when I was 7.69 years old.
The launch of Gemini 12 must have been planned specifically to make that connection with John Mercer Brooke. I believe the reason was to symbolize that I was attending college at Princeton University at the time I launched into space on Gemini 12. Listed below are some details about his ancestor Hugh Mercer, who was killed at the Battle of Princeton during the American Revolution.
Another interesting detail that I noticed is that the USS Brooke DEG-1/FFG-1 was commissioned 59 weeks, 2 days, before 5/1/1967. That suggests to me that I was in training for my first solo jet flight at the time USS Brooke was commissioned.
From 3/12/1966 to 5/1/1967 is: 415 days, or 59 weeks and 2 days
USS Brooke (DEG-1/FFG-1) was the lead ship of her class of guided missile frigates in the United States Navy from 1962-1988. She was named for John Mercer Brooke.
…
Commissioned: 12 March 1966
John Mercer Brooke (18 December 1826 – 14 December 1906) was an American sailor, engineer, scientist, and educator.
...
John Mercer Brooke was born in Florida on December 18, 1826. He died, on the 14th of December, 1906 in Virginia. Mercer is a descendent from General Hugh Mercer of the AmericanRevolutionary War.
…
Lieutenant Brooke worked for many years with Commander Matthew Fontaine Maury in the United States Naval Observatory (USNO), charting the stars as well as assisting in taking soundings of the ocean's bottom to determine the shape of the bottom.
Hugh Mercer (January 17, 1726 – January 12, 1777) was a physician, a brigadier general in the Continental Army and a close friend to George Washington. Mercer died as a result of his wounds received at the Battle of Princeton and became a fallen hero and rallying symbol of the American Revolution.
…
Just before the Battle of Manhattan, Washington ordered two forts built to repel the British Navy. On the New York side of the Hudson River, Fort Washington was constructed, and Mercer himself oversaw the building of the earthen fortification on the New Jersey side, named Fort Lee. Though bravely defended, the British captured Fort Washington on November 16, 1776, and the Americans abandoned Fort Lee four days later. The retreat to New Jersey became known as “the Crisis of the Revolution", because the enlistments of most of Washington's beaten and down-trodden soldiers ended on New Year's Day 1777.
There are rumors that Mercer exclusively originated Washington's daring plan to cross the Delaware River and surprise the Hessians at the Battle of Trenton on December 26, 1776, and he was certainly a major contributor to its execution. Because of the win at Trenton (and a small monetary bonus), Washington's men agreed to a ten-day extension to their enlistment. When Washington decided to face off with Cornwallis during the Second Battle of Trenton on January 2, 1777, Mercer was given a major role in the defense of the city.
The next day, January 3, Washington's army was en route to Princeton, New Jersey. While leading a vanguard of 350 soldiers, Mercer's brigade encountered two British regiments and a mounted unit. A fight broke out at an orchard grove and Mercer’s horse was shot from under him. Getting to his feet, he was quickly surrounded by British officers who mistook him for George Washington and ordered him to surrender. Outnumbered, he drew his saber and began an unequal contest. He was finally beaten to the ground by saber, muskets and bayonet thrusts.
When he learned of the British attack and saw some of Mercer's men in retreat, Washington himself entered the fray. Washington rallied Mercer's men and pushed back the British regiments, but Mercer had been left on the field to die with multiple bayonet wounds to his body and blows to his head. (Legend has it that a beaten Mercer, with a bayonet still impaled in him, did not want to leave his men and the battle and was given a place to rest on a white oak tree's trunk, while those who remained with him stood their ground. The tree became known as “the Mercer Oak” and is the key element of the seal of Mercer County, New Jersey.)
When he was discovered, Mercer was carried to the field hospital in the Thomas Clarke House (now a museum) at the eastern end of the battlefield. In spite of medical efforts by Benjamin Rush, Mercer was mortally wounded and died nine agonizing days later on January 12, 1777.
Because of Mercer’s courage and sacrifice, Washington was able to proceed into Princeton and rout the British forces there. He then moved and quartered his forces to Morristown in victory. Because of those victories, Washington's army reenlisted, the French finally approved arms and supplies to the Americans and a stunned Cornwallis pulled his forces back to New York to reassess the surprising American successes. The "crisis" had ended, America had the means to fight, and British public support for the war slowly began to wane.
The Battle of Princeton was a battle of the American Revolutionary War, fought near Princeton, New Jersey, on January 3, 1777.
...
In the night after the Second Battle of Trenton, General Washington's army silently slipped away from Lieutenant General Charles Cornwallis and his troops. Washington left behind several soldiers to tend to large campfires, to disguise the departure of the American troops.
Throughout the night, the army marched over a back road toward Princeton and reached the Quaker Bridge over Stony Brook, about six miles south of town. The Quaker Bridge was not strong enough to support the army’s cannon and ammunition carts, so another bridge had to be built quickly. While the bridge was being constructed, Washington reformed his army, and then split it into two parts—the smaller left wing under General Nathaniel Greene and the larger right wing under General John Sullivan. Washington had intended to attack Princeton before dawn, but the sun was rising.
Greene’s assignment was to advance to the Princeton-Trenton highway to stop its traffic and destroy its bridge over Stony Brook. Sullivan’s division, the main attack force, moved toward the rear of the College of New Jersey (now Princeton University). The British were known to have outposts on the roads to the north, east and west, but an abandoned road went into town from the west, which Sullivan took.
The USS Brooke FFG-1 was decommissioned 333 weeks after 4/30/1982. That is the date I recognize as my commissioning day from the U.S. Naval Academy.
From 4/30/1982 to 9/16/1988 is: 2331 days, 333 weeks
The USS Ramsey FFG-2 was decommissioned 2316 days after my 4/30/1982 commissioning from the U.S. Naval Academy. I was 2316 days old on 7/5/1965, which was 59 days before 9/2/1965. The day 9/2/1965 is the day I recognize as my first day of college at Princeton University.
From 4/30/1982 to 9/1/1988 is: 2316 days

Ramsey was laid down 4 February 1963 by Lockheed Shipbuilding & Construction Company, Seattle, Washington; launched 15 October 1963; sponsored by Mrs. DeWitt Clinton Ramsey; and commissioned 3 June 1967, Comdr. William D. Robertson, Jr., in command.
Admiral DeWitt Clinton Ramsey (2 October 1888 - 7 September 1961) was a U.S. Navy officer and pioneer Naval aviator who served as an aircraft-carrier commander during World War II, notably at the Battles of the Coral Sea and Midway.
The launch of Gemini 12 was 59 years, 331 days, after the death of the namesake of USS Brooke DEG-1/FFG-1. The spaceflight Gemini 12 was the last of the Gemini series and the flight that I recognize as my first launch into space when I was 7.69 years old.
The launch of Gemini 12 must have been planned specifically to make that connection with John Mercer Brooke. I believe the reason was to symbolize that I was attending college at Princeton University at the time I launched into space on Gemini 12. Listed below are some details about his ancestor Hugh Mercer, who was killed at the Battle of Princeton during the American Revolution.
Another interesting detail that I noticed is that the USS Brooke DEG-1/FFG-1 was commissioned 59 weeks, 2 days, before 5/1/1967. That suggests to me that I was in training for my first solo jet flight at the time USS Brooke was commissioned.
From 3/12/1966 to 5/1/1967 is: 415 days, or 59 weeks and 2 days
USS Brooke (DEG-1/FFG-1) was the lead ship of her class of guided missile frigates in the United States Navy from 1962-1988. She was named for John Mercer Brooke.
…
Commissioned: 12 March 1966
John Mercer Brooke (18 December 1826 – 14 December 1906) was an American sailor, engineer, scientist, and educator.
...
John Mercer Brooke was born in Florida on December 18, 1826. He died, on the 14th of December, 1906 in Virginia. Mercer is a descendent from General Hugh Mercer of the AmericanRevolutionary War.
…
Lieutenant Brooke worked for many years with Commander Matthew Fontaine Maury in the United States Naval Observatory (USNO), charting the stars as well as assisting in taking soundings of the ocean's bottom to determine the shape of the bottom.
Hugh Mercer (January 17, 1726 – January 12, 1777) was a physician, a brigadier general in the Continental Army and a close friend to George Washington. Mercer died as a result of his wounds received at the Battle of Princeton and became a fallen hero and rallying symbol of the American Revolution.
…
Just before the Battle of Manhattan, Washington ordered two forts built to repel the British Navy. On the New York side of the Hudson River, Fort Washington was constructed, and Mercer himself oversaw the building of the earthen fortification on the New Jersey side, named Fort Lee. Though bravely defended, the British captured Fort Washington on November 16, 1776, and the Americans abandoned Fort Lee four days later. The retreat to New Jersey became known as “the Crisis of the Revolution", because the enlistments of most of Washington's beaten and down-trodden soldiers ended on New Year's Day 1777.
There are rumors that Mercer exclusively originated Washington's daring plan to cross the Delaware River and surprise the Hessians at the Battle of Trenton on December 26, 1776, and he was certainly a major contributor to its execution. Because of the win at Trenton (and a small monetary bonus), Washington's men agreed to a ten-day extension to their enlistment. When Washington decided to face off with Cornwallis during the Second Battle of Trenton on January 2, 1777, Mercer was given a major role in the defense of the city.
The next day, January 3, Washington's army was en route to Princeton, New Jersey. While leading a vanguard of 350 soldiers, Mercer's brigade encountered two British regiments and a mounted unit. A fight broke out at an orchard grove and Mercer’s horse was shot from under him. Getting to his feet, he was quickly surrounded by British officers who mistook him for George Washington and ordered him to surrender. Outnumbered, he drew his saber and began an unequal contest. He was finally beaten to the ground by saber, muskets and bayonet thrusts.
When he learned of the British attack and saw some of Mercer's men in retreat, Washington himself entered the fray. Washington rallied Mercer's men and pushed back the British regiments, but Mercer had been left on the field to die with multiple bayonet wounds to his body and blows to his head. (Legend has it that a beaten Mercer, with a bayonet still impaled in him, did not want to leave his men and the battle and was given a place to rest on a white oak tree's trunk, while those who remained with him stood their ground. The tree became known as “the Mercer Oak” and is the key element of the seal of Mercer County, New Jersey.)
When he was discovered, Mercer was carried to the field hospital in the Thomas Clarke House (now a museum) at the eastern end of the battlefield. In spite of medical efforts by Benjamin Rush, Mercer was mortally wounded and died nine agonizing days later on January 12, 1777.
Because of Mercer’s courage and sacrifice, Washington was able to proceed into Princeton and rout the British forces there. He then moved and quartered his forces to Morristown in victory. Because of those victories, Washington's army reenlisted, the French finally approved arms and supplies to the Americans and a stunned Cornwallis pulled his forces back to New York to reassess the surprising American successes. The "crisis" had ended, America had the means to fight, and British public support for the war slowly began to wane.
The Battle of Princeton was a battle of the American Revolutionary War, fought near Princeton, New Jersey, on January 3, 1777.
...
In the night after the Second Battle of Trenton, General Washington's army silently slipped away from Lieutenant General Charles Cornwallis and his troops. Washington left behind several soldiers to tend to large campfires, to disguise the departure of the American troops.
Throughout the night, the army marched over a back road toward Princeton and reached the Quaker Bridge over Stony Brook, about six miles south of town. The Quaker Bridge was not strong enough to support the army’s cannon and ammunition carts, so another bridge had to be built quickly. While the bridge was being constructed, Washington reformed his army, and then split it into two parts—the smaller left wing under General Nathaniel Greene and the larger right wing under General John Sullivan. Washington had intended to attack Princeton before dawn, but the sun was rising.
Greene’s assignment was to advance to the Princeton-Trenton highway to stop its traffic and destroy its bridge over Stony Brook. Sullivan’s division, the main attack force, moved toward the rear of the College of New Jersey (now Princeton University). The British were known to have outposts on the roads to the north, east and west, but an abandoned road went into town from the west, which Sullivan took.
The USS Brooke FFG-1 was decommissioned 333 weeks after 4/30/1982. That is the date I recognize as my commissioning day from the U.S. Naval Academy.

Looking at the photo's of the USS Samuel B. Roberts FFG-58 and the USS Cole DDG-67 on the salvage ships, I am reminded of what I said a long time ago. I was at Microsoft and I said something about whether I should race at an Ironman triathlon to the point that I either won, or they carried me off in a stretcher. I listen for echo's of such comments and that reminds me of something Senator Ted Steven's said about some bridge project he was trying to get funding for.
I think this was the project Stevens was referring to.
The Gravina Island Bridge is a proposed $315 million bridge to replace the ferry that currently connects Ketchikan, Alaska (population 8,000) to developable land on Gravina Island and improve access to Ketchikan International Airport. The bridge would replace or augment a seven-minute ferry ride from Ketchikan to its airport
If I have this figured out correctly, I was on the Royal Navy's HMS Sheffield when it was hit by anti-ship missiles during the Falklands War. Then after I completed my escape after being a POW in Libya in 1986, I was on the USS Stark FFG-31 when it was hit by missiles on 5/17/1987. The USS Samuel B. Roberts FFG-58 then was hit by anti-ship mines, or possibly torpedos, on 4/14/1988, also because I was onboard. There is a difference of 333 days between the attack on the Stark and the Roberts. The USS Wainwright CG-28 was almost hit by missiles on 4/18/1988, and I know I was onboard that ship, but my memories are symbolic and artificial of that experience. I wasn't onboard the USS Cole DDG-67 when it was hit by terrorists on 10/12/2000, but I believe that ship was hit because it was my first assignment as commanding officer of a U.S. Navy destroyer. I wondered one day at Microsoft why Vince Maraia was telling me something about how he liked destroyer ships. I wondered why he was telling me that.
1982: Argentines destroy HMS Sheffield
The British ship HMS Sheffield has been hit by an Argentine missile fired from a fighter bomber.
It is not clear how many of the 268 crew have perished.
The sinking has shocked the British nation and foiled any possible diplomatic solution to the current dispute over the Falkland Islands between Britain and Argentina.
The ship caught fire when a French-made Exocet missile penetrated deep into HMS Sheffield's control room. The blaze caused a poisonous smoke and most of the crew abandoned ship.
A major rescue operation has been launched in the South Atlantic as relatives thousands of miles back in the UK wait for news of their loved ones.

"No. I walked."
I was just watching this movie again, and there is that scene where "Eckland's" boat is hit, producing a large hole in the side. That scene made me think of the terrorist attack on the USS Cole DDG-67 and I have been thinking that I was the first commanding officer of that ship, with another covert identity. I believe that Microsoft-Corbis sponsored that terrorist attack on the USS Cole DDG-67 because I was working undercover at Microsoft at the time, using this current official federal undercover identity.
The USS Cole DDG-67 was attacked 334 days before the Pentagon and World Trade Center was hit on 9/11/2001. I had been working undercover at Microsoft for 33 months, 4 days, on 9/11/2001. My first day of employment at Microsoft, 12/7/1998, was arranged by Microsoft. News articles that day quote Bill Gates' claim's that the federal government was out to destroy Microsoft.
Father Goose is a 1964 romantic comedy film set in World War II, starring Cary Grant and Leslie Caron.
During the early days of World War II, South Pacific beachcomber Walter Eckland (Grant) is coerced by his old friend, Commander Frank Houghton (Trevor Howard), into becoming a coast-watcher for the Allies. He is escorted to a deserted island, to watch for Japanese planes passing overhead. As incentive, whisky is hidden in various spots around the island; every time he reports a sighting, he is rewarded with directions to a bottle. To further ensure he stays put, when Houghton leaves, his naval vessel "accidentally" hits Walter's boat, punching a gaping hole in its hull.
I think about this photo when I see it but I can't figure out why. It means something, but I can't figure out what it is. It would stand to reason I knew Cary Grant from my youth, so I guess that is what it is. Sometimes I wonder if he and I are related somehow, but I'm not certain.

Rachel Weisz (born March 7, 1971) is an Academy Award-winning English actress.
Enemy at the Gates is a motion picture directed by Jean-Jacques Annaud and released in 2001, adapted from the David L. Robbins book called The War of the Rats. Robbins borrowed elements from William Craig's book Enemy at the Gates: The Battle for Stalingrad which describe the events surrounding during the Battle of Stalingrad, 1942-1943. The movie follows Soviet sniper Vasily Grigoryevich Zaitsev and his German rival, Major Erwin König, as they stalk each other during the Battle of Stalingrad.
...
Stalingrad, 1942. The German invasion of Russia has reached the city of Stalingrad, reducing the city to rubble as the Soviet and Nazi armies battle for the fate of Russia. Vasily Zaitsev (Jude Law), a not very educated peasant from the Urals conscripted into the Red Army, manages to survive both a suicidal charge without a weapon into the front lines of the German attack and the NKVD machine gunners shooting survivors who tried to flee. Acquiring a rifle, Zaitsev — an expert marksman — manages to kill five German officers in a row with the only five bullets he has, impressing a witnessing political officer, Danilov (Joseph Fiennes). Writing an account of Zaitsev's achievement in the military newspaper, Danilov manages to inspire the broken, morale-sapped people of the Soviet Union to renew their efforts against the German invaders, and Zaitsev becomes a national hero and propaganda icon.
The friendship between the two men is to be tested, however, as both have fallen in love with Tanya (Rachel Weisz), a Jewish citizen of the city who, inspired by Zaitsev, has joined the sniper division. Fearing the Soviet snipers and the demoralising effect they are having on their own men, the Germans have sent for Major Erwin König (Ed Harris), the best sniper in the German military, to seek out and eliminate Zaitsev.
This movie premiered on 6/26/2001, which is 3 years, 3.3 months, after 3/15/1998. I recognize the date 3/15/1998 as the last day I saw my wife before I started this deployment, of which I maintain my official federal undercover identity that you have taken such an interest in stealing.

I keep puzzling over that detail about the USS Ray hitting the coral mountain. I wonder if that is a pointer back to the day I hit the meteor storm after leaving Mars.

MER-A (Mars Exploration Rover - A), known as Spirit, is the first of the two rovers of NASA's Mars Exploration Rover Mission. It landed successfully on Mars on 04:35 Ground UTC on January 4, 2004, three weeks before its twin Opportunity (MER-B) had landed on the other side of the planet. Its name was chosen through a NASA-sponsored student essay competition.
The rover has continued to function effectively over ten times longer than NASA planners expected, allowing it to perform extensive geological analysis of Martian rocks and planetary surface features; as of 2007 its mission is ongoing. An archive of approximately weekly updates on its status can be found at the NASA/JPL website.

Connie Inge-Lise Nielsen (born July 3, 1965) is a Danish actress.
...
In 2000 she became known to worldwide audiences as Lucilla in Ridley Scott's internationally acclaimed Academy Award-winning epic Gladiator, where she starred opposite Russell Crowe and Joaquin Phoenix. She has since then starred in some notable American films, including Mission to Mars (2000), One Hour Photo (2002),

This is the operation I recognize that broke me out of the Libyan prisoner where I was a POW in 1986. I ran out into the desert and lived off the land for over a year until I made it back to the U.S. Navy on 5/13/1987.
The United States bombing of Libya (code-named Operation El Dorado Canyon) comprised the joint United States Air Force, Navy and Marine Corps air-strikes against Libya on April 15, 1986.

MER-A (Mars Exploration Rover - A), known as Spirit, is the first of the two rovers of NASA's Mars Exploration Rover Mission. It landed successfully on Mars on 04:35 Ground UTC on January 4, 2004, three weeks before its twin Opportunity (MER-B) had landed on the other side of the planet. Its name was chosen through a NASA-sponsored student essay competition.
The rover has continued to function effectively over ten times longer than NASA planners expected, allowing it to perform extensive geological analysis of Martian rocks and planetary surface features; as of 2007 its mission is ongoing. An archive of approximately weekly updates on its status can be found at the NASA/JPL website.
...
On 2004 January 21 (Sol 18), Spirit abruptly ceased communicating with mission control. The next day the rover radioed a 7.8 bit/s beep, confirming that it had received a transmission from Earth but indicating that the spacecraft believed it was in a fault mode. Commands would only be responded to intermittently. This was described as a very serious anomaly, but potentially recoverable if it were a software or memory corruption issue rather than a serious hardware failure. Spirit was commanded to transmit engineering data, and on January 23 sent several short low-bitrate messages before finally transmitting 73 megabits via X band to Mars Odyssey. The readings from the engineering data suggested that the rover was not staying in sleep mode. As such, it was wasting its battery power and overheating — risk factors that could potentially destroy the rover if not fixed soon. On Sol 20, the command team sent it the command SHUTDWN_DMT_TIL ("Shutdown Dammit Until

It's your trial
I was stunned when I stumbled across this photo last year of the Air Force officer with the F-16 wind tunnel model. The similarity in appearance to my half-brother, Kevin Wayne Burgess, from my symbolic and artificial memory is remarkable. The guy in civilian clothes looks familiar too, but I can't place him. Every time I look at this photo, I also think that is fake, in that it is a composite image for the Air Force officer. I didn't look like that back in 1981, but I think there are some facial similarities and that is why he resembles my half-brother.

I noted last year that this photo of Colonel Schaefer reminds me a lot of my mother's brother, Warren Newman. I also have a ton of symbolic memories of drinking a brand of beer named Schaefer. That probably means Colonel Schaefer bought us some beers for trying in 1980 to get them out of Iran.

When I was a kid in high school, I worked at a general store in Wilton after school. My employer started stocking these traps on the counter where I stood when I didn't have anything to do. The were for catching gophers or some other small critter. When I was standing there waiting for something to do, I would, not unlike compulsively clicking a retractable ink pen, set and spring one of those traps. set, spring. set, spring. set, spring. One day, I think it was for Christmas, and I'm pretty sure it was 1983, my employers, Donald and Shirley Mills, gave me a bonus of a $100 dollar bill and they enclosed it in one of that traps, something about how I liked them so much. I was also surprised they gave me so much. They had been giving me bonuses before but that was by far the largest. I also remember now times standing out on the flight deck of the Taylor and using a hook to pull up the RAST cable out of the deck. I also remember running myself ragged doing that. We were supposed to trade off to let the other crew take some of the landings, but I kept going out there myself and doing it. I remember too, unrelated to flight operations, but probably symbolically related to flight operations, that they put me on the night watch when we were in the Persian Gulf in 1988.
When memories of being above the clouds come to mind, I reminded for flying on passenger aircraft, staring out the cabin window, especially from 1984 and 1984 when I remeber flying home several times and spending a lot of time in the air.
The were two 2-man teams on the helo deck. I was usually the person in front with the guy behind me with a hook to grab the wire from the helo. I would then connect the cables.
Ah...that princess with the pink Rolls Royce....I hope I get back that memory.
When I initially signed up for the Navy, I was in training as an Electronics Technician, which the Navy designation is ET.
I had this crazy idea that I have been up in the Space Shuttle. It makes sense. There was that time with Tracie at 6 Flags in Atlanta.
There was that brown leather jacket I used to love to wear, they were fashionably called bomber jackets.
Donald Mills truck, something I liked about the engine, but it was rather utilitarian, if that's the right word, it was just a work truck, it wasn't as cool as my trucks. I used to like to modify the carburator for some reason. And there was the time the roof liner fell on my head one day I was driving. Mom told me one time I was driving too fast when I passed by the house in that truck.
Billy Parker was another buddy in high school and he used to run around a lot with Micheal and me. I came from leave, I think it was 1985, and he had this super-fast Ford Mustang. It was quite the hot rod. Not sure what he had been driving before that, I think his momma's car. There was this one we were out hunting....I can still picture this place perfectly in my mind. If I was back on Hicks Road, the real place, right now, I could point out the exact place this event occurred. There is that big 90-degree curve down the road from where we used to live, seems like there were dumpsters there. Leading off that curve were two gravel roads. One road was where Ken Morgan and his brothes lived. The other road lead to Horseshoe Lake, where you needed a really bad truck to get into. And on the second road was a short gravel road that led to Billy's house. Beyond that, towards Horseshoe Lake, he and I were walking down that gravel road heading back to his house. A squirrel jumped out on a tree in front of us and I stopped him just in time before he blasted the squirrel and the house it was in front of. He started getting more reckless as I remember. He told me one time he had been driving through town shooting at stop lights with a pistol. Just stupid pointless stuff like that. I did hear that he married that girl I was seeing when I came back from the Persian Gulf. Maybe he settled down after that. She was a good woman to come home to.
Deers. I don't know what it is about the deers. But if my memory serves as a guide, I was literally a deer magnet there for a time. I would sit there for a while and they would just walk past me, oblivious to the fact that I had a loaded gun 3 feet from the head. They were quite surprised when I moved.

This photo reminds me of a photo I saw the other day of that guy from Falcon Crest, I think his character's name was Chase. I forget the actor's name, I remember him from an Outer Limits episode where he had just been inaugurated as POTUS.

There must be a reason I have a memory of going to a White Castle restaraunt. I didn't particularly care for them. I also have a memory of Ken Bennett wanting to go to lunch at White Castle one day when we were working at Microsoft Charlotte. Not sure if that really happened though, although I am thinking I really did work in there during 1995 and 1996, sort of a trial run.

I wonder why I had that dream a while back where I was talking to Fleet Admiral Nimitz? I can't remember what we were talking about. I remember that I was still thinking of myself as a former PO2 back during the time of the dream. I wonder if it was a clue to get me thinking about the USS Ronald Reagan, which I think is a Nimitz-class. Maybe it means that I am on track to become a Fleet Admiral myself someday. Although, I don't know, I need to look this up, but I think they only award that 5th star for extraordinary circumstances. In my current memory, I know only of that one 5-star and that was because of WW2.
I had a dream last night about something but I can only remember one detail. There were 5 Medals of Honor hanging near me and someone said they were mine. That would be consistent with other thoughts I have had for a while and could be the 5 stars from that dream where I was talking to Nimitz. But I still don't actually remember any specific details. It's hard to say what I actually remember. I seem to remember something, but I don't consciously remember anything from my real life.

In my artificial and symbolic memory, I can "remember" that I wanted to be a drummer during elementary school, but I never did it. I can "remember" playing on a drum set at a church we went to, but I was never very good at it. I "remember" a kid named Larry House who was a drummer during elementary school and I "remember" him carrying around his drum set.
I have a very clear "memory" of me sitting in a hotel room in Portland, Maine, with a guitar, while I was wearing a plaid shirt with a t-shirt underneath that proclaimed "ass kicking Southern rock." I was there in that hotel room while the USS Taylor FFG-50 was in drydock in the Bath, Maine, shipyards.
Charles Edward "Charlie" Daniels (born October 28, 1936 in Wilmington, North Carolina) is an American musician famous for his contributions to Country, Southern Rock, and Jazz music.
Daniels, a talented singer, guitarist, and fiddler, began writing and performing in the 1950s. In 1964, Daniels co-wrote "It Hurts Me", a song which Elvis Presley recorded. He worked as a Nashville session musician, often for producer Bob Johnston, including playing on three Bob Dylan albums during 1969 and 1970, and recordings by Johnny Cash and Leonard Cohen. Daniels recorded his first solo album, Charlie Daniels, in 1971 (see 1971 in country music). His first hit, the novelty song "Uneasy Rider", was from his 1972 second album, Honey in the Rock, and reached #9 on the Billboard Hot 100.
In 1974, Daniels organized the first in a series of Volunteer Jam concerts based in or around Nashville, Tennessee. Except for a three-year gap in the late 1980s, these jams have continued ever since.
In 1975, he had a top 30 hit as leader of the Charlie Daniels Band with the Southern Rock self-identification anthem "The South's Gonna Do It Again". "Long Haired Country Boy" was also a minor hit in that year.
"The Devil Went Down to Georgia" is a country song written and performed by the Charlie Daniels Band and released on their 1979 [1] album Million Mile Reflections. The song is written in the key of D minor. Vassar Clements originally wrote the melody an octave lower, in a tune called "Lonesome Fiddle Blues". Charlie Daniels Band moved it up an octave and put words to it. The song's verses are closer to being spoken rather than sung. Satan's and Johnny's performances are played as instrumental bridges during the song.
Artist: The Charlie Daniels Band Lyrics
Song: The Devil Went Down to Georgia Lyrics
The devil went down to Georgia
He was lookin' for a soul to steal
He was in a bind
'Cause he was way behind
And he was willin' to make a deal
When he came upon this young man
Sawin' on a fiddle and playin' it hot
And the devil jumped
Up on a hickory stump
And said boy let me tell you what
I guess you didn't know it
but I'm a fiddle player too
And if you care to take a dare I'll make a bet with you
Now you play a pretty good fiddle, boy
But give the devil his due
I'll bet a fiddle of gold
Against your soul
'Cause I think I'm better than you
The boy said my name's Johnny
And it might be a sin
But I'll take your bet
And you're gonna regret
'Cause I'm the best there's ever been
Johnny rosin up your bow and play your fiddle hard
Cause hell's broke loose in Georgia and the devil deals the cards
And if you win you get this shiny fiddle made of gold
But if you lose the devil gets your soul.
The devil opened up his case
And he said I'll start this show
And fire flew from his fingertips
As he rosined up his bow
Then he pulled the bow across the strings
And it made a evil hiss
And a band of demons joined in
And it sounded something like this
[Instrumental]
When the devil finished
Johnny said well you're pretty good old son
Just sit right in that chair right there
And let me show you how it's done
He played Fire on the Mountain
Run boys, run
The devil's in the House of the Rising Sun
Chicken in a bread pan picken' out dough
Granny does your dog bite
No child, no
[Instrumental]
The devil bowed his head
Because he knew that he'd been beat
And he laid that golden fiddle
On the ground at Johnny's feet
Johnny said, Devil just come on back
If you ever wanna try again
I done told you once you son of a bitch
I'm the best there's ever been
And he played Fire on the Mountain
Run boys, run
The devil's in the House of the Rising Sun
Chicken in a bread pan picken' out dough
Granny does your dog bite
No child, no

This one looks like me, too, in the U.S. Navy Ensign uniform. But I'm not entirely certain because of the date stamp on the photo. The date could be wrong, or I could have been back there in Annapolis for some reason after returning from the Falklands War. It seems I would have gone to Lebanon after the Falklands. I don't know. I have seen some of these photos where I was pretty certain the date was wrong. I am also confused over whether those are the shouldboards of an Ensign or whether it is one of the Midshipman ranks. There is a similar rank ensignia for the Midshipman Ensign, according to the linked article. And, his hair looks kind of long for a Midshipman, regardless of seniority. It also seems he has a moustache, which I doubt was probably allowed for Midshipman. I puzzled over the red name tag thinking that meant he was a commissioned officer on the Academy staff, but then I noticed other photos of Midshipman officers so I'm not sure what that means. I have all kinds of symbolic memories this reminds me of though, but I don't know precisely what it means. In my artificial and symbolic memories that I think represent my attendance at the U.S. Naval Academy, I was always senior to those around me. I was usually at the front of whatever formation I "remember" being part of.

Based on symbolic and artificial memories, I think I was a field goal kicker on the U.S. Naval Academy football team during my first year. I think I was on the basketball team my final year. As for the football team, I "remember" in my artificial memories that I was on the special teams. I also "remember" when I tried out for punter on the De Queen football team and I kicked the ball very high in the sky, but it didn't go very far and I didn't get the position. There is also a "memory" of playing football with Randy Romines brother and Randy was saying that his brother had almost gone into professional football as a kicker. I have this artificial memory of his brother kicking a football and then he was saying that he couldn't believe I made the catch. I think in reality, I was the field goal kicker for the U.S. Naval Academy team and I was very good at it. There must be a specific reason for the artificial memories that I had jersey numbers, 62, 72, and 46, but I don't know precisely what that is. I guess one clue is that I was on the USNA team the first 3 years and then the basketball team the 4th year. I have memories of track and field activities, but I think that was at Princeton University. Not sure what the tennis playing is all about.

I absolutely loved Marisa Tomei in this movie listed below. In my artificial and symbolic memory, I can "remember" thinking that I would never really be happy unless I had a girlfriend like her. It seems there is a good reason for that "memory." I wondered if there was a connection with their birthdays, but the connection could simply be that Marisa was almost as attractive as my wife, although my wife is impossible to beat.
Ralph Macchio was the star of "Karate Kid." Joe Peschi was 33.33 years old at the time I recognize as visiting the Saturn moon Phoebe from 6/7/1976 to 6/9/1976.
Peschi's movie premiered 10 days, or 0.333 month, after my 33rd birthday.
My Cousin Vinny is an American movie, released on Friday 13 March 1992, starring Joe Pesci and Marisa Tomei. Tomei won an Oscar for Best Supporting Actress for her performance and Fred Gwynne received critical acclaim for his performance as Judge Chamberlain Haller. The cast included Ralph Macchio, Lane Smith and Bruce McGill.

Tomei won an Oscar for Best Supporting Actress for her performance and Fred Gwynne received critical acclaim for his performance as Judge Chamberlain Haller. The cast included Ralph Macchio, Lane Smith and Bruce McGill.
While driving through the fictional Beechum County, Alabama, Billy Gambini (Ralph Macchio) and his friend Stan Rothenstein (Mitchell Whitfield) accidentally neglect to pay for a can of tuna fish after stopping at the 'Sac-o-Suds' convenience store. After they leave the store, the clerk is shot and killed. Billy and Stan are then pulled over and detained in connection with the murder. However, Billy and Stan assume they were detained for shoplifting, so they behave guiltily and manage to indirectly implicate themselves in the shooting. Due to circumstantial evidence and a series of miscommunications, Billy ends up being charged with murder, and Stan is charged as an accessory to the crime. The pair call Billy's mother, who tells her son that there is an attorney in the family, who would be willing to take the case. Unfortunately, Billy's cousin Vincent LaGuardia Gambini (Joe Pesci), better known as Vinny, is a neophyte personal injury lawyer from Brooklyn, New York, newly admitted to the bar (after six attempts and six years) and has no trial experience.
Although Vinny manages to fool the trial judge, Chamberlain Haller (Fred Gwynne) about being experienced enough to take the case, his actual ignorance of basic court procedures gets him into trouble immediately, much to his clients' consternation. For example, after appearing before the judge at the arraignment in a leather jacket and without a tie, Vinny is thrown into jail for contempt of court after failing to enter a plea and behaving disrespectfully toward the judge. On his second appearance in court, Vinny does not even bother to cross-examine any witnesses in the probable cause hearing. To make things worse, the three eyewitnesses turn out to be stupid, incompetent, or liars, and they swear that they saw Billy and Stan at the crime scene. Sheriff Dean Farley also testifies that Billy confessed, but Billy had merely been incredulous at the suggestion that he was suspected in a murder when he said, "I shot the clerk?!" As these claims go unquestioned, it appears that the prosecution has an airtight case that will inevitably lead to a conviction at the trial. Meanwhile, Vinny's inability to get a good night's sleep at the poor accommodations he finds, coupled with his own stubborn and proud refusal to accept the help of his fiancée, Mona Lisa Vito (Marisa Tomei), further impairs his performance.

Terrorism
Q. Mr. President, you came to Tokyo saying that you didn't want a grandiose statement on terrorism, you wanted action. Now you have your statement, but your fellow summit leaders say that nothing really has changed. What actions do you expect, if any?
The President. Well, I find it difficult to believe that the people that I've been meeting with, the heads of state, would have indicated anything otherwise; because what we have agreed upon is that terrorism is a threat to all of us. It is an attack upon the world. The determination of terrorists who murder and maim innocent people in pursuit of some political goal, and that the way to deal with it is not individually or unilaterally but to deal with it together. And this was the sense of the agreement that we arrived at, that we are going to act together with regard to opposing terrorism, to isolate those States that provide support for terrorism, to isolate them and make them pariahs on the world scene, and even, if possible, to isolate them from their own people.
Q. If I may follow up, sir. There were no sanctions or joint actions specified. Could you tell us what action you do expect?
The President. We discussed at great length specific actions and all. But the statement was one to simply say that we together will decide upon what is appropriate, depending on the acts, what is the most effective thing to do in the instance of further terror incidents. And we didn't think that it was, perhaps, useful to put all of that into a public statement, telling the terrorists exactly what it was we intended to do.
The bombing of the Cole and the later events would not have even happened if my covert military activities in the 1980s had not been revealed.
9/19/2006 6:49 PM
Now this is very interesting. Is she asking about getting Qhaddafi or about getting me out of captivity? If she knows about me being a captive, she is asking if he took action because he was grieving that I was captured and then he clarifies that Qhaddafi was the target.
Q. Well, is the United States so bereft that it has to drop tons of bombs on a country to get one man?
The President. Again, you touch upon something where military action is deemed necessary. I'm not going to discuss that, because I think it would be counterproductive to do so. But we weren't out, in the sense of getting one man -- that we were dropping those tons of bombs hoping to blow him up. I don't think any of us would have shed tears if that had happened. But we were out to damage and destroy those facilities that were making it possible for that particular State under his guidance to back and support terrorism.

Remarks at a White House Meeting With Members of the American Business Conference
April 15, 1986
…
Before discussing the topic at hand, let me talk to you briefly about the events that took place last night. Yesterday, as you know, pilots of the air and naval forces of the United States spoke to the outlaw Libyan regime in the only language that Colonel Qadhafi seems to understand. They performed courageously. Two of our airmen are missing. But let us be clear: Yesterday the United States won but a single engagement in the long battle against terrorism. We will not end that struggle until the free and decent people of this planet unite to eradicate the scourge of terror from the modern world.
Terrorism is the preferred weapon of weak and evil men. And as Edmund Burke reminded us: In order for evil to succeed, it's only necessary that good men do nothing. Yesterday we demonstrated once again that doing nothing is not America's policy; it's not America's way. America's policy has been and remains to use only force as a last result -- or resort, I should say. We would prefer not to have to repeat the events of last night. What is required is for Libya to end its pursuit of terror for political goals. The choice is theirs.
Yet let us not underestimate the reach of Qadhafi's terror. He's tried to subvert half a dozen countries on his own continent of Africa and has had Libyan students and dissidents murdered in faraway capitals. And I would remind the House voting this week that this archterrorist has sent $400 million and an arsenal of weapons and advisers into Nicaragua to bring his war home to the United States. He has bragged that he is helping the Nicaraguans because they fight America on its own ground. We do not underestimate the brutality of this evil man, but Colonel Qadhafi ought not to underestimate either the capacity or legitimate anger of a free people.

Remarks at the Heritage Foundation Anniversary Dinner
April 22, 1986
…
…So, let's remember this, too: The vast majority of the people in Nicaragua want nothing to do with communism or the militarism it engenders. The day is coming when the democratic promises of the revolution of 1979 will be fulfilled and Nicaragua will be free.
The only point I'm making here is this: We've been talking about the idea of freedom, about expanding its frontiers, since the beginning of this administration. So no one should be surprised that our policies and programs have followed suit. Freedom is on the march; we pledge solidarity to those who seek to make it their own.
In much the same way, no nation -- friend or foe, ally or adversary -- should be surprised by the events of last week and the United States Government's determination to protect American lives and the world from terrorism. I could recite here a long list of speeches and statements by myself and Cabinet officers outlining the terrorist danger, presenting the evidence of collaboration among certain terrorist States and making clear to those States that we would not tolerate what amounts to acts of war against the American people. Only last summer, in an address to the American Bar Association, I outlined the terrorist network, citing evidence the United States Government had accumulated as well as private scholars in the field such as Dr. Avigdor Haselkorn. I carefully outlined the interconnection among those terrorist States and issued the most solemn warnings to their leaders.

Address to the Nation on National Security
February 26, 1986
…
During my 1980 campaign, I called Federal waste and fraud a national scandal. We knew we could never rebuild America's strength without first controlling the exploding cost of defense programs, and we're doing it. When we took office in 1981, costs had been escalating at an annual rate of 14 percent. Then we began our reforms. And in the last 2 years, cost increases have fallen to less than 1 percent. We've made huge savings. Each F - 18 fighter costs nearly $4 million less today than in 1981. One of our air-to-air missiles costs barely half as much.
Getting control of the defense bureaucracy is no small task. Each year the Defense Department signs hundreds of thousands of contracts. So, yes, a horror story will sometimes turn up despite our best efforts. That's why we appointed the first Inspector General in the history of the Defense Department. And virtually every case of fraud or abuse has been uncovered by our Defense Department, our Inspector General. Secretary Weinberger should be praised, not pilloried, for cleaning the skeletons out of the closet. As for those few who have cheated taxpayers or have swindled our Armed Forces with faulty equipment, they are thieves stealing from the arsenal of democracy, and they will be prosecuted to the fullest extent of the law.

Let me just interject something here, because the last time I gave a speech in Columbia during the 1980 campaign I said one of the most important ways to control Federal spending is to control waste, fraud, and abuse. Perhaps you've seen those headlines and the TV news about the Pentagon paying $100 for a 4-cent diode or $900 for a plastic cap. Now, what is missing or buried in all of those stories is the most important fact of all: It was Cap Weinberger's people—Defense Department auditors and inspectors—who ordered the audits in the first place and who conducted the investigations that revealed those figures. Those are our figures. We're the ones who formed a special unit to prosecute Department of Defense fraud eases. And in just an 18-month period, the Department has obtained 650 convictions, and this doesn't count the number of settlements that have been made not going to court. So despite all the headlines, we are keeping that promise to weed out waste, fraud, and abuse.

Remarks to the International Forum of the Chamber of Commerce of the United States
April 23, 1986
…
The democratic nations decided long ago they would stand shoulder to shoulder in such fights. Nowhere is this more imperative than in the battle against terrorism. These vicious, cowardly acts will, if we let them, erect a wall of fear around nations and neighborhoods. It will dampen the joy of travel, the flow of trade, the exchange of ideas. In short, terrorism undeterred will deflect the winds of freedom.
And let no one mistake this for a conflict between the Western democracies and the Arab world. Those who condone making war by cowardly attacks on unarmed third parties, including women and children, are but a tiny minority. Arab nations themselves have been forced to endure savage terrorist attacks from this minority. We hope and pray the Arab world will join with us to eliminate this scourge on civilization. I might add that Colonel Qadhafi's expectation of unquestioned support from the Islamic world strikes me as hypocritical. Nowhere is the slaughter of Moslem people greater than in Afghanistan, and yet Colonel Qadhafi allies himself with those perpetrating this crime on Islam and all of mankind.
Decent people can no longer tolerate cowardly terrorist attacks. Government-sponsored terrorism, in particular, cannot continue without gravely threatening the social fabric of all free societies. Unilateral response is not enough; it must be dealt with forcefully and collectively. And this, undoubtedly, will be a topic of discussion in Tokyo.

The ending of this speech reminds me of something I wrote on a box of crayons or rather a box that held crayons and pencils and the sort when I was in first grade or a little later. The box had the Pledge of Allegiance printed on the inside of the lid, the box was similar to a cigar box, and at the end, after the question mark, I wrote “Yes.”

Does that banner still wave ``o'er the land of the free and the home of the brave?'' Yes, it does, and we're going to see that it continues to wave over that kind of a country.

I have been thinking again a few times recently about something Mark Mogge told me at Microsoft. In my memory, Mogge and I served together as Fire Controlmen aboard the Wainwright during Operation Praying Mantis in 1988. I was talking with him about that on the phone one day. I remember he said he still had the letter from the commendation the ship received from Admiral Crowe and that it was somewhere there in work in a desk drawer. I was confused because I was talking about a personal letter of commendation from the Wainwright Commanding Officer and I thought every one in Missile Plot had received one as did I. I have also been thinking about what he said about the battle in Mogadishu, which is often referred to as “Black Hawk Down.” As I was talking about the Praying Mantis, he told me, almost in a competitive tone is the only way I can describe it which confused me, about how there was a guy there in the office that had been a part of that Mogadishu battle. After I just wrote that name ‘Mogadishu,” the similarity to ‘Mogge’ just dawned on me and I wonder about it.
...
That’s it. That’s why I worked for that company. That is how these new revelations pop into my head. They usually start off with ‘that’s it.’ As I was watching the shuttle landing and listening to the commentary, it struck me: ISA-ISS. That is the name of a company I worked for in 1992, I guess was the year. I went to work for Ketterman’s Inc. of Dallas in 1990, but that company was bought out by ISA of Alexandria, VA, sometime in 1992. The CEO was a former Navy officer. My division was called ISS. The full name was something similar to Integrated Systems Analyst – Integrated Systems Services. BUT ISS is also International Space Station. I started thinking too that ISA is International Space Agency. I quit ISS to work for UFP. Their name was Universal Financial Products, but I also noticed that the initials are the same as United Federation of Planets from Star Trek.
...
9/21/2006 8:39 PM
It seems important that my work history, earnings document, whatever it’s called, doesn’t list Ketterman’s Inc of Dallas. Instead, it has ISA-ISS listed for the times when I worked for Ketterman’s. I assume that is standard procedure because ISA-ISS bought out Ketterman’s who then ceased to exist. It seems like it is an important clue but I don’t know exactly what it means.
I also find it curious that the street address for ISA-ISS in Alexandria, VA, is listed as 2001 Beauregard Street Suite 600. The ‘2001’ makes me think of “2001: A Space Odyssey.”
The detail is reinforced by the fact that universal Financial Products, or U.F.P., is listed as 620 Enterprise Drive. Not sure if Oakbrook, IL, means anything.
The next regular employer is listed as Eagle Business Systems which was in Columbia, SC.
After that was MP Computer Systems in Rock Hill, SC. I read that Delta team sometimes refer to themselves as “Rocks.” I remember posting on the Wainwright site a while back to a guy name Rachwitz. We called him “Rock” on the ship and he was a fire-control radar technician Fire Controlman.

9/22/2006 5:11 PM
After I awoke from a nap this afternoon, I felt compelled to write about a dream I had just before I woke up but then did not write about it. I started feeling that need to write about it again but may have forgotten some details by now. I have started thinking that the dreams I have just before waking up mean something in their own right.
In the dream, I was wearing a Navy uniform. I didn’t have anywhere to go though and seemed to be just walking around what I guess was a Navy installation. I decided to go into a building to ask if another Commander was still there even though I knew he wasn’t there. I spoke to a Navy enlisted person who appeared to be an Airman judging by his three green stripes although I couldn’t make out his rating symbol. He asked me a question but I didn’t hear his question and I asked him to repeat it by saying “Sir?” to him with an inquisitive tone. He asked me how I could not know that the other Commander was already deployed and I said something about how I just did not know. I left and walked down and out on some kind of spiral staircase, although that part isn’t that clear and I find myself wondering about that part. There was another spiral staircase ahead of me, there seemed to be dual staircases on either side of the front door to that building, and a Lt. j.g. came down the other side. I want to say he was someone I should know but I can’t picture him as someone I knew. I want to say it was him that spoke something to me at that point but I also want to say the voice came from behind me. He said, or someone else said, something about me being “a little off.” I wondered if he meant that I was wrong about some of these details. Then I wondered if he meant I was a little crazy, but I think I started thinking that last one after I woke up. I think after he or someone said that, it made me start thinking about the uniform I was wearing. I found myself thinking after I awoke that it seemed to be a Marine Corps officers dress uniform. I seemed to be wearing the dark blue Marine uniform with white pants. But I am confused about one detail as it seemed I looked to my left shoulder and saw Navy shoulder boards with Captain stripes. Or was it just an epaulet, I am not sure, but there was a pair of sunglasses clipped under it. I was walking down the sidewalk and there were two people ahead of me. One may have been that Lt. j.g. Another was a female officer, Navy I guess. Somewhere along there I realized I had forgotten to wear the appropriate cover for that uniform and realized that I was still wearing a ball cap, although I had a

Remarks at the Heritage Foundation Anniversary Dinner
April 22, 1986
…
…So, let's remember this, too: The vast majority of the people in Nicaragua want nothing to do with communism or the militarism it engenders. The day is coming when the democratic promises of the revolution of 1979 will be fulfilled and Nicaragua will be free.
The only point I'm making here is this: We've been talking about the idea of freedom, about expanding its frontiers, since the beginning of this administration. So no one should be surprised that our policies and programs have followed suit. Freedom is on the march; we pledge solidarity to those who seek to make it their own.
In much the same way, no nation -- friend or foe, ally or adversary -- should be surprised by the events of last week and the United States Government's determination to protect American lives and the world from terrorism. I could recite here a long list of speeches and statements by myself and Cabinet officers outlining the terrorist danger, presenting the evidence of collaboration among certain terrorist States and making clear to those States that we would not tolerate what amounts to acts of war against the American people. Only last summer, in an address to the American Bar Association, I outlined the terrorist network, citing evidence the United States Government had accumulated as well as private scholars in the field such as Dr. Avigdor Haselkorn. I carefully outlined the interconnection among those terrorist States and issued the most solemn warnings to their leaders.

Address to the Nation on National Security
February 26, 1986
…
During my 1980 campaign, I called Federal waste and fraud a national scandal. We knew we could never rebuild America's strength without first controlling the exploding cost of defense programs, and we're doing it. When we took office in 1981, costs had been escalating at an annual rate of 14 percent. Then we began our reforms. And in the last 2 years, cost increases have fallen to less than 1 percent. We've made huge savings. Each F - 18 fighter costs nearly $4 million less today than in 1981. One of our air-to-air missiles costs barely half as much.
Getting control of the defense bureaucracy is no small task. Each year the Defense Department signs hundreds of thousands of contracts. So, yes, a horror story will sometimes turn up despite our best efforts. That's why we appointed the first Inspector General in the history of the Defense Department. And virtually every case of fraud or abuse has been uncovered by our Defense Department, our Inspector General. Secretary Weinberger should be praised, not pilloried, for cleaning the skeletons out of the closet. As for those few who have cheated taxpayers or have swindled our Armed Forces with faulty equipment, they are thieves stealing from the arsenal of democracy, and they will be prosecuted to the fullest extent of the law.

Let me just interject something here, because the last time I gave a speech in Columbia during the 1980 campaign I said one of the most important ways to control Federal spending is to control waste, fraud, and abuse. Perhaps you've seen those headlines and the TV news about the Pentagon paying $100 for a 4-cent diode or $900 for a plastic cap. Now, what is missing or buried in all of those stories is the most important fact of all: It was Cap Weinberger's people—Defense Department auditors and inspectors—who ordered the audits in the first place and who conducted the investigations that revealed those figures. Those are our figures. We're the ones who formed a special unit to prosecute Department of Defense fraud eases. And in just an 18-month period, the Department has obtained 650 convictions, and this doesn't count the number of settlements that have been made not going to court. So despite all the headlines, we are keeping that promise to weed out waste, fraud, and abuse.

Remarks to the International Forum of the Chamber of Commerce of the United States
April 23, 1986
…
The democratic nations decided long ago they would stand shoulder to shoulder in such fights. Nowhere is this more imperative than in the battle against terrorism. These vicious, cowardly acts will, if we let them, erect a wall of fear around nations and neighborhoods. It will dampen the joy of travel, the flow of trade, the exchange of ideas. In short, terrorism undeterred will deflect the winds of freedom.
And let no one mistake this for a conflict between the Western democracies and the Arab world. Those who condone making war by cowardly attacks on unarmed third parties, including women and children, are but a tiny minority. Arab nations themselves have been forced to endure savage terrorist attacks from this minority. We hope and pray the Arab world will join with us to eliminate this scourge on civilization. I might add that Colonel Qadhafi's expectation of unquestioned support from the Islamic world strikes me as hypocritical. Nowhere is the slaughter of Moslem people greater than in Afghanistan, and yet Colonel Qadhafi allies himself with those perpetrating this crime on Islam and all of mankind.
Decent people can no longer tolerate cowardly terrorist attacks. Government-sponsored terrorism, in particular, cannot continue without gravely threatening the social fabric of all free societies. Unilateral response is not enough; it must be dealt with forcefully and collectively. And this, undoubtedly, will be a topic of discussion in Tokyo.

I wonder where I really was when this speech was given. Was I floating around in a life raft off the coast of the Falklands with the other survivors of the Sheffield? The ending of this speech reminds me of something I wrote on a box of crayons or rather a box that held crayons and pencils and the sort when I was in first grade or a little later. The box had the Pledge of Allegiance printed on the inside of the lid, the box was similar to a cigar box, and at the end, after the question mark, I wrote “Yes.”

Remarks at the Republican Congressional ``Salute to President Ronald Reagan Dinner''
May 4, 1982
…
I am here under false pretenses. I must have missed out someplace in reading all the materials that have been coming across the desk, because I thought that we were coming here to honor the Members of the House and the Senate and salute them. So, I don't care what you say this dinner is; I'm going to salute the people I came here to salute.
…
You know, when our friend, Pearl [Bailey] was singing the National Anthem tonight -- I don't know or have heard all the national anthems of the world, but I do know this: The only anthem of those I do know that ends with a question is ours, and may it be ever thus. Does that banner still wave ``o'er the land of the free and the home of the brave?'' Yes, it does, and we're going to see that it continues to wave over that kind of a country.

I have been thinking again a few times recently about something Mark Mogge told me at Microsoft. In my memory, Mogge and I served together as Fire Controlmen aboard the Wainwright during Operation Praying Mantis in 1988. I was talking with him about that on the phone one day. I remember he said he still had the letter from the commendation the ship received from Admiral Crowe and that it was somewhere there in work in a desk drawer. I was confused because I was talking about a personal letter of commendation from the Wainwright Commanding Officer and I thought every one in Missile Plot had received one as did I. I have also been thinking about what he said about the battle in Mogadishu, which is often referred to as “Black Hawk Down.” As I was talking about the Praying Mantis, he told me, almost in a competitive tone is the only way I can describe it which confused me, about how there was a guy there in the office that had been a part of that Mogadishu battle. After I just wrote that name ‘Mogadishu,” the similarity to ‘Mogge’ just dawned on me and I wonder about it.

That’s it. That’s why I worked for that company. That is how these new revelations pop into my head. They usually start off with ‘that’s it.’ As I was watching the shuttle landing and listening to the commentary, it struck me: ISA-ISS. That is the name of a company I worked for in 1992, I guess was the year. I went to work for Ketterman’s Inc. of Dallas in 1990, but that company was bought out by ISA of Alexandria, VA, sometime in 1992. The CEO was a former Navy officer. My division was called ISS. The full name was something similar to Integrated Systems Analyst – Integrated Systems Services. BUT ISS is also International Space Station. I started thinking too that ISA is International Space Agency. I quit ISS to work for UFP. Their name was Universal Financial Products, but I also noticed that the initials are the same as United Federation of Planets from Star Trek.

It seems important that my work history, earnings document, whatever it’s called, doesn’t list Ketterman’s Inc of Dallas. Instead, it has ISA-ISS listed for the times when I worked for Ketterman’s. I assume that is standard procedure because ISA-ISS bought out Ketterman’s who then ceased to exist. It seems like it is an important clue but I don’t know exactly what it means.
I also find it curious that the street address for ISA-ISS in Alexandria, VA, is listed as 2001 Beauregard Street Suite 600. The ‘2001’ makes me think of “2001: A Space Odyssey.”
The detail is reinforced by the fact that universal Financial Products, or U.F.P., is listed as 620 Enterprise Drive. Not sure if Oakbrook, IL, means anything.
The next regular employer is listed as Eagle Business Systems which was in Columbia, SC.
After that was MP Computer Systems in Rock Hill, SC. I read that Delta team sometimes refer to themselves as “Rocks.” I remember posting on the Wainwright site a while back to a guy name Rachwitz. We called him “Rock” on the ship and he was a fire-control radar technician Fire Controlman.

Reagan was left-handed, although he was usually shown writing with his right hand. When throwing out the ceremonial first ball before baseball games, he threw with his right arm, like he did in the baseball film The Winning Team.

After I awoke from a nap this afternoon, I felt compelled to write about a dream I had just before I woke up but then did not write about it. I started feeling that need to write about it again but may have forgotten some details by now. I have started thinking that the dreams I have just before waking up mean something in their own right.
In the dream, I was wearing a Navy uniform. I didn’t have anywhere to go though and seemed to be just walking around what I guess was a Navy installation. I decided to go into a building to ask if another Commander was still there even though I knew he wasn’t there. I spoke to a Navy enlisted person who appeared to be an Airman judging by his three green stripes although I couldn’t make out his rating symbol. He asked me a question but I didn’t hear his question and I asked him to repeat it by saying “Sir?” to him with an inquisitive tone. He asked me how I could not know that the other Commander was already deployed and I said something about how I just did not know. I left and walked down and out on some kind of spiral staircase, although that part isn’t that clear and I find myself wondering about that part. There was another spiral staircase ahead of me, there seemed to be dual staircases on either side of the front door to that building, and a Lt. j.g. came down the other side. I want to say he was someone I should know but I can’t picture him as someone I knew. I want to say it was him that spoke something to me at that point but I also want to say the voice came from behind me. He said, or someone else said, something about me being “a little off.” I wondered if he meant that I was wrong about some of these details. Then I wondered if he meant I was a little crazy, but I think I started thinking that last one after I woke up. I think after he or someone said that, it made me start thinking about the uniform I was wearing. I found myself thinking after I awoke that it seemed to be a Marine Corps officers dress uniform. I seemed to be wearing the dark blue Marine uniform with white pants. But I am confused about one detail as it seemed I looked to my left shoulder and saw Navy shoulder boards with Captain stripes. Or was it just an epaulet, I am not sure, but there was a pair of sunglasses clipped under it. I was walking down the sidewalk and there were two people ahead of me. One may have been that Lt. j.g. Another was a female officer, Navy I guess. Somewhere along there I realized I had forgotten to wear the appropriate cover for that uniform and realized that I was still wearing a ball cap, although I had a
