The dialog, which is consistent with something I have heard elsewhere, possibly from this same source, about the hypothetical Martians sending a hypothetical probe to Earth that lands in the Sahara Desert, is also consistent with a consistent train of thought that after my physical body was vaporized by a nuclear bomb blast in Libya on 4/14/1986, I woke up in the middle of the Sahara Desert and had to find my way back home.

Now that I think about, there was that scene of him on a roof with a sniper rifle. And over the past few weeks, I have started to think that I am going to eventually remember how to speak and read other languages, although I have no clue about most of them. Spanish is kind of easy to figure out some words, but that doesn't mean anything. There was that day at Microsoft where Lynn and I were trading some words in German, I think it was, she seemed impressed, although as I told her, I was using an online translator. And martial arts. I think I know some form of martial arts.
I wonder if I was very arrogant in my real life.
I still have no interest in reading more about this "Bourne" stuff. And I'm not going to read about it so that probably means something.

I am thinking that after I was broken out of Libya's prison, perhaps illustrated somewhat in Costner's "Robin Hood," I made a long trek across the desert, which was illustrated in "Quigley Down Under." My hunch is that I was taken captive again by natives, where they threw me in to fight a lion. There is this memory I have been thinking about for a while. It was when i was a kid, maybe 7 years old. Mom was married to James Nevell and we lived in De Queen. He had not gone back into the Marines at that time or he had just gotten out. I think it was the former. Anyway, one day, I was rummaging through our storage shed and I found his U.S. Marines-issued saber. Or I found a machete that day. I remember both happening. Anyway, I was playing with the machete or the saber out in the yard and I was chopping away at any threatening blades of grass or tree limbs. At one point, I started to chop a tree limb that was laying on the ground in front of me. After I swung the blade over my head to strike down on the limb, mom's new puppy ran between my legs and run under the blade. I struck the little bastard square on its backbone, but remarkably, I didn't even break the skin. It ran off yelping but wasn't even bleeding. I was very scared because I thought I had just killed it, but it was all right. As I was just writing that memory, I felt a greater association to it and that Costner movie I just wrote about. When I started writing about hitting that dog, I was thinking about something with lions. As in, a lion rushed at me, I leapt into the air, did a something like a somersault, but not the backflip, rather the other....what do you call that? It wouldn't be a backflip....but something like a side-flip....I'll have to look that up. Anyway, as I flipped over the top of the lion, I either punched its backbone or I had some kind of weapon I used to break its back. I have no idea if this is memory or imagination but I think of this many times. I just wish I knew. So anyway, as I was writing about hitting the dog, that Costner movie took on more meaning, so maybe both incidents are real. The Borg and Queen Borg Bill Gates need those kinds of skills to improve college recruitment and to sell more video games so that is why I keep them guarded in my mind.

Well, this is another one of this blog posts that didn't turn out as I planned in the past hour or so the thoughts formed in my mind, a fact I write about here during the time I write this section of text.
Just a very short while ago, a few months ago, I clearly saw on Google Streetview that house I recall we lived in during the timeframe of the memory mentioned above.
Now I don't see that house in the same place I think I looked at before. Quite possibly that structure was demolished and Google has update their images.
Those are very old memories for me and I do not recall specific details, such as a specific street address, but the last time I found it I could recall enough about the general location to find it again and the area isn't really that complicated to begin with. There are only so many streets in that general area of De Queen Arkansas.
I looked back through there today and I see familiar structures that I associate with that place we lived.
I saw the Google Streetview image of it a few months ago and I noted it to myself to make a reference to it here in my blog sometime in the future because I have had the hunch for a while that perhaps if I can strengthen my very old (I'm almost 50 years old) conventional memory then maybe that will strengthen my so-called invisible memory that I theorize exists physically in my human brain from the 1990s.
Lately I have been think that there are so many horrific memories in my invisible memory of the 1990s that I might simply just not want, subconsciously, to regain any of that time-period of invisible memory.
I have a lot of memory of the 1990s but how much of it - how much of it real, is the first question. The second question is: how much of it is accessible to my conscious mind currently compared to the memories that are not accessible. What is the ratio? Is my conscious memory only 10% of physical memory in my brain of the 1990s?

Those "memories" of photos from my childhood might actually be Micheal Reagan's son, Cameron. I have "memories" that my hair was blond when I was young. I "remember" one photo of my sitting on the grass wearing a football jersey and I think I was 7 years old at the time. I was in the back yard of that house on the cul-de-sac in De Queen. The other two house's also had a kid named Kerry living there, although they spelled their names differently. Although, it might have just been the girl that spelled hers differently. Wasn't her name Kerri McKeever? We lived in the house in the middle of the three houses. The other boy, I think, was named Kerry Walters. I think in that photo, I was sitting in the grass with some new puppies our dog had.

Yoshio Tachibana
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Yoshio Tachibana (24 February 1890 – 24 September 1946) was a lieutenant general of the Japanese Imperial Army. He was commander of the Japanese troops in Chichijima, Ogasawara Islands, and was held responsible for the “Chichijima Incident” a war crime involving torture, extrajudicial execution and cannibalism of Allied prisoners of war.
Biography
Tachibana was a native of Ehime prefecture. He graduated from the Imperial Japanese Army Academy in 1913, and had a relatively undistinguished early career. From 1924-1925 he was assigned to the Manchukuo Imperial Army as a liaison officer. In 1942, he was assigned to the staff of the Hiroshima regional defense command, and promoted to major general in March 1943. In May 1944, he became commander of the IJA 1st Independent Combined Brigade. He was further promoted to lieutenant general on March 23, 1945, and given command of the IJA 109th Division, which was tasked with the defense of the Bonin Islands against invasion by American forces in the preliminary preparations to Operation Downfall.
By mid-1945, due to the Allied naval blockade, Japanese troops on Chichijima had run low on supplies and were starving, so Tachibana's senior staff turned to cannibalism. In August 1944 and February/March 1945 in what came to be known later as the “Ogasawara Incident”, Tachibana, known to his staff as a sadistic, alcoholic commander, issued an order that all American prisoners of war (downed aviators) be killed.
Two prisoners were beheaded in a public ceremony and per an account in Time Magazine, their livers were immediately cut from their bodies and served as sukiyaki . It was not disputed that eight prisoners of war were executed, and some of the bodies were butchered by the division’s medical orderlies and portions were eaten by the senior staff of the Japanese garrison.
At the end of the war, Tachibana and his staff were arrested by the American occupation authorities and were deported to Guam, where they stood trial for war crimes in connection with the Ogasawara Incident in August 1946. However, as cannibalism was not covered under international law at the time, Tachibana was charged with "prevention of honorable burial" in addition to his execution of prisoners, and along with four other defendants, was sentenced to death by hanging.

National Affairs: Unthinkable Crime
Monday, Sept. 16, 1946
A U.S. military commission on Guam last week read into the record a Japanese Army major's confession of cannibalism. Unlike rumored instances elsewhere, this was no story of starving Japanese eating their own or enemy dead in an effort to survive. It was ritual cannibalism practiced on the bodies of U.S. flyers who had been decapitated after being shot down in the Bonin Islands. The sole excuse: "war madness."

Surrender of the Bonin Islands, 3 September 1945
The U.S. destroyer Dunlap was the scene for the surrender of the Bonin Islands on 3 September 1945. The ceremonies took place off Chichi Jima, an extremely heavily-fortified island located some 1000 kilometers southeast of Honshu. Lieutenant General Yoshio Tachibana, the local commander who signed the surrender documents, was later convicted and executed for a particularly gruesome series of war crimes perpetuated against U.S. aviators who had been captured in the area during 1944-45.
This page features photographs of the surrender of the Bonin Islands.

So as I explained to President Carter in 1979 we probably had one or more clandestine operatives within the enemy organization and those secret operatives ensured that my transportation was late so that I was not captured with the rest of the embassy staff.
Or I just got lucky that day.
I elaborated on how I just did not know.
But as I elaborated about whether he was trustworthy I used that incident as an example of how it really did not matter to me whether he was trustworthy or not.

Carter Announces Bosnia Cease-Fire Agreement : Balkans: Truce begins Friday, he says after shaky start with rebel Serbs. Diplomats remain skeptical.
December 21, 1994 DEAN E. MURPHY TIMES STAFF WRITER
SARAJEVO, Bosnia-Herzegovina — The Bosnian Serbs and the Muslim-led Bosnian government have agreed to begin a cease-fire on Friday as a small first step toward ending the 32-month civil war, former President Jimmy Carter announced Tuesday.
The modest agreement--one of many proposed cease-fires over the course of the war--came after an unscheduled second round of meetings between Carter and the Bosnian Serb leadership in nearby Pale. Carter called the extra session after conflicting claims about the results of their high-profile talks on Monday threatened to sink his entire peace mission.
Carter announced Monday that Bosnian Serb leader Radovan Karadzic had agreed to an immediate cease-fire, but Karadzic backed away from the claim a few hours later.
The Bosnian government was so angered by the theatrics that President Alija Izetbegovic refused to meet with Carter when he returned to Sarajevo late Monday, choosing to make the former U.S. President wait until morning, sources said.
"We have had this character 2 1/2 years, and he lies every day," said Bosnian Vice President Ejup Ganic, referring to Karadzic. "Make sure that you know with whom you deal."

Roslin: Captain Apollo?
Apollo: That was fun. (They laugh.) I think it worked.
Roslin: What exactly did you do?
Apollo: I basically just used the hyperdrive to manipulate the energy coils, to p-p-put out a big pulse of electroma-magnetic energy that must have disabled the warheads. (He wobbles a bit.) I'm - I'm hoping that it looked like a nuclear explosion.
Roslin: Oh. So that's what that was.
Pilot: So, uh -
Roslin: Did it fool the Cylons?
Apollo: I don't know. But if they weren't fooled, then they'd be on top of us by now.
Pilot: Does the rest of the fleet know about this trick?
Apollo: I doubt it. It's just a theory we toyed with in war college, but it never used to work during war games, the Cylons would see right through it and destroy the targets anyway.
Roslin: The lesson here is not to ask follow-up questions, but simply to say, thank you, Captain Apollo, for saving our collective asses.
Apollo: Now, if I could suggest -
Roslin: Evacuate the passenger liner and get the hell out of here before the Cylons realize their mistake. I'm right with you, Captain.

That John Barry proclamation was on August 20, 1981. The day before, August 19th, was when the U.S. Navy shot down those two Libyan Sukhoi's that were interfering with Freedom of Navigation exercises. I wonder if I was there. I want to say that Reagan was just a fan of the U.S. Navy's professionalism, but then I wonder more about that clue with me living on Wexford in Taylors in 1991.

On the morning of August 19, two NIMITZ aircraft from VF-41 were fired upon by Libyan pilots. The NIMITZ pilots returned fire and shot both Libyan aircraft from the sky.
