CHAPTER 24


Not so much the elimination, John Brightling thought more precisely, as the culling back of the most dangerous species on the planet, which would allow Nature to restore Herself, with just enough human stewards to watch and study and appreciate the process. In a thousand or so years, there might be a million or so humans, but that was a small number in the great scheme of things, and the people would be properly educated to understand and respect nature instead of destroying her. The goal of the Project wasn't to end the world. It was to build a new one, a new world in the shape that Nature Herself intended. On that he would put his own name for all eternity. John Brightling, the man who saved the planet.

Brightling looked at the key in his hand, then got back into his car. The driver took him to the main entrance, and there he used the key, surprised and miffed to see that the door was unlocked. Well, there were still people going in and out. He took the elevator to his office-apartment atop the main building. That door, he saw, was locked as it was supposed to be, and he opened it with a kind of one-person ceremony, and walked into the seat of Olympus's chief,o d. No, that wasn't right. Insofar as there was a god, it was Nature. From his office windows, he could see out over the plains of Kansas, the swaying young wheat… it was so beautiful. Almost enough to bring tears to his eyes. Nature. She could be cruel to individuals, but individuals didn't matter. Despite all the warnings, humankind hadn't learned that.

Well, learn it they would, the way Nature taught all Her lessons. The hard way.

CHAPTER 17

BUSHES


"Rachel Carson come to life, eh?" she asked.

"Look, you know the science as well as I do - maybe better. We're doing things like-like the Alvarez Event that took the dinosaurs out, except we're doing it willfully. It took how long for the planet to recover from that?"

"Alvarez? The planet didn't recover, Kevin," Carol Brightling pointed out. "It jump-started mammals-us, remember? The preexisting ecological order never returned. Something new happened, and that took a couple of million years just to stabilize." Must have been something to see, she told herself. To watch something like that in progress, what a scientific and personal blessing it must have been, but there'd probably been nobody back then to appreciate it. Unlike today.

"Well, in a few more years we'll get to see the first part of it, won't we? How many more species will we kill of this year, and if the ozone situation keeps getting worse - my God, Carol, why don't people get it? Don't they see what's happening? Don't they care?"

"Kevin, no, they don't see, and, no, they don't care. Look around." The restaurant was filled with important people wearing important-looking clothes, doubtless discussing important things over their important dinners, none of which had a thing to do with the planetary crisis that hung quite literally over all their heads. If the ozone layer really evaporated, as it might, well, they'd start using sunblock just to walk the streets, and maybe that would protect them enough… but what of the natural species. the birds, the lizards, all the creatures on the planet who had no such option? The studies suggested that their eyes would be seared by the unblocked ultraviolet radiation, which would kill them off, and so the entire global ecosystem would rapidly come apart. "Do you think any of these people know about it-or give a damn if they do?"

"I suppose not." He sipped down some more of his white wine. "Well, we keep plugging away, don't we?"

"It's funny," she went on. "Not too long ago we fought wars, which kept the population down enough that we couldn't damage the planet all that much- but now peace is breaking out all over, and we're advancing our industrial capacity, and so, peace is destroying us a lot more efficiently than war ever did. Ironic, isn't it?"

"And modern medicine. The anopheles mosquito was pretty good at keeping the numbers down-you know that Washington was once a malarial swamp, diplomats deemed it a hazardous-duty post! So then we invented DDT. Good for controlling mosquitoes, but tough on the peregrine falcon. We never get it right. Never," Mayflower concluded.

"What if?…" she asked wistfully.

"What if what, Carol?"

"What if nature came up with something to knock the human population back?T-"

"The Gaea Hypothesis?" That made him smile. The idea was that the earth was itself a thinking, self-correcting organism that found ways to regulate the numerous living species that populated the planet. "Even if that's valid-and I hope it is, really - I'm afraid that we humans move too fast for Gaea to deal with us and our work. No, Carol, we've created a suicide pact, and we're going to take down everything else with us, and a hundred years from now, when the human population worldwide is down to a million or so people, they'll know what went wrong and read the books and look at the videotapes of the paradise we once had, and they'll curse our names-and maybe, if they're lucky, they'll learn from it when they crawl back up from the slime. Maybe. I doubt it. Even if they try to learn, they'll worry more about building nuclear power reactors so they can use their electric toothbrushes. Rachel was right. There will be a Silent Spring someday, but then it'll be too late." He picked at his salad, wondering what chemicals were in the lettuce and tomatoes. Some, he was sure.

CHAPTER 19


The idea was simple enough. A rat was a pig was a dog, was a boy - woman in this case. All had an equal right to life. They'd done extensive testing of Shiva on monkeys, for whom it had proved universally lethal, and he'd watched all those tests, and shared the pain of the subsentient animals who felt pain as real as what F4 felt, though in the case of the monkeys morphine hadn't been possible, and he'd hated that hated inflicting pain on innocent creatures with whom he could not talk and to whom he could not explain things.

Dr. Warren Wright Bacon, 84, `Was Always Learning Something'

By Elouise Schumacher

His best friend couldn't believe his eyes: There was Dr. Warren Wright Bacon, steering a ferry boat across Puget Sound.

"He piloted that thing clear from Bremerton to Seattle and put it in the dock," said Dr. Richard Walden about the unusual event three decades ago. "The captain told me that no one knew more about the boat than `Doc.' "

Learning all he could about the workings of a ferry boat was just one of the many hobbies of Dr. Bacon, who died Oct. 30 in Edmonds.


Dr. Bacon was born Feb. 11, 1907, in Minnesota, and he graduated from Loma Linda, Calif., University Medical School in 1942. During World War II he practiced near Bremerton, treating Navy workers at the shipyard.

After the war he started a family practice in Gig Harbor, later returning to Loma Linda to be trained in radiology. He practiced radiology in Edmonds and served on the teaching staff at the University of Washington Medical School until his retirement at age 65.

CHAPTER 32

BLOOD WORK


It was easier for Henriksen. What people were doing to the world was a crime. Those who did it, supported it, or did nothing to stop it, were criminals. His job was to make them stop. It was the only way. And at the end of it the innocent would be safe, as would Nature. In any case, the men and the instruments of the Project were now in place. Wil Gearing was confident that he could accomplish his mission, so skillfully had Global Security insinuated itself into the security plan for the Sydney Olympics, with the help of Popov and his ginned-up operations in Europe. So, the Project would go forward, and that was that, and a year from now the planet would be transformed. Henriksen's only concern was how many people would survive the plague. The scientific members of the Project had discussed it to endless length. Most would die from starvation or other causes, and few would have the capacity to organize themselves enough to determine why the Project members had also survived and then take action against them. Most natural survivors would be invited into the protection of the elect, and the smart ones would accept that protection. The others-who cared? Henriksen had also set up the security systems at the Kansas facility. There were heavy weapons there, enough to handle rioting farmers with Shiva symptoms, he was sure.

The most likely result of the plague would be a rapid breakdown of society. Even the military would rapidly come apart, but the Kansas facility was a good distance from the nearest military base, and the soldiers based pit Fort Riley would be sent to the cities first to maintain order until they, too, came down with symptoms. Then they'd be treated by the military doctors-for what little good it would do-and by the time unit cohesion broke down, it would be far too late for even the soldiers to take any organized action. So, it would be a twitchy time, but one that would pass rapidly, and so long as the Project people in Kansas kept quiet, they ought not to suffer organized attack. Hell, all they had to do was to let the world believe that people were dying there, too, maybe dig a few graves and toss bags into them for the cameras-better yet, burn them in the open-and they could frighten people away from another focal center of the plague. No. They'd considered this one for years. The Project would succeed. It had to. Who else would save the planet?

The cafeteria theme today was Italian, and Popov was pleased to see that the cooks here were not "vegans." The lasagna had meat in it. Coming out with his tray and glass of Chianti, he spotted Dr. Killgore eating alone and decided to walk over that way.

"Ah, hello, Mr. Popov."

"Good day, Doctor. How did my blood work turn out?"

"Fine. Your cholesterol is slightly elevated, and the HDL/LDL ratio is a little off, but I wouldn't get very upset about it. A little exercise should fix it nicely. Your PSA is fine-"

"What's that?"

"Prostate-Specific Antibody, a check for prostate cancer. All men should check that out when they turn fifty or so. Yours is fine. I should have told you yesterday, but I got piled up. Sorry about that-but there was nothing important to tell you, and that's a case where no news really is good news, Mr. Popov."

"My name is Dmitriy," the Russian said, extending his hand. "John," the doctor replied, taking it. "Ivan to you, I guess."

"And I see you are not a vegan," Dmitriy Arkadeyevich observed, gesturing to Killgore's food.

"Oh? What? Me? No, Dmitriy, I'm not one of those. Homo sapiens is an omnivore. Our teeth are not those of vegetarians. The enamel isn't thick enough. That's sort of a political movement, the vegans. Some of them won't even wear leather shoes because leather's an animal product." Killgore ate half a meatball to show what he thought of that. "I even like hunting."

"Oh? Where does one do that here?"

"Not on the Project grounds. We have rules about that

They stuck a lot of needles in me when I was inpatient at the University of Washington Medical Center back in the summer of 2005. I remember one very dark night when I was in a mental haze from the drugs they were forcing on me (only because I went to the City of Kent Washington police department to report criminal activity directed at my personal property and which continues unabated to this very day) and I awoke in the dark in that hospital bed and a woman was glaring at me as she stuck another needle in hand. I thought about that later and I decided she was glaring at me because she was possibly expected me to club her with my fist, which I did not.

Shenouda III

Egyptian religious leader

Shenouda III, original name Nazeer Gayed Roufail (born August 3, 1923, Asyut, Egypt—died March 17, 2012, Cairo), 117th pope of Alexandria and patriarch of the see of St. Mark. As the leader of the Coptic Orthodox Church of Alexandria, an autocephalous (ecclesiastically independent) church of the Oriental Orthodox communion, Shenouda expanded the church’s membership both in Egypt and abroad while generally improving ecumenical relations, particularly with the Roman Catholic Church and the Eastern Orthodox churches. However, his papacy was marked by controversy and even a brief exile.

He was a local boy.
It was towards the end

Terence Mann: Ray, people will come Ray. They'll come to Iowa for reasons they can't even fathom. They'll turn up your driveway not knowing for sure why they're doing it. They'll arrive at your door as innocent as children, longing for the past. Of course, we won't mind if you look around, you'll say. It's only $20 per person. They'll pass over the money without even thinking about it: for it is money they have and peace they lack.

The American Presidency Project

Ronald Reagan

XL President of the United States: 1981 - 1989

Question-and-Answer Session With Reporters on the Situation in the Middle East

July 18, 1982

Q. What about sending Henry Kissinger to the Middle East as a special ambassador, sir?

The President. There've been no decisions or plans or anything of that kind. Simply, George and Judge Clark1 have asked a few people like that to come in and have a meeting and get their thoughts on what's going on.

1 Secretary of State George P. Shultz and Assistant to the President for National Security Affairs William P Clark.

Q. Have you made a decision on the cluster bombs and whether a new shipment will go to Israel?

The President. No, we've only received their statement, and we've been reviewing that.

Q. What is their statement?

Q. When are you going to make a statement?

Q. [Inaudible]—good idea to take some time now and review arms to Israel, particularly since a new shipment was to go—

The President. What?

Q. Is it a good time now to review what you might promise Israel, considering another shipment was to go tomorrow?

The President. This is what's on our minds right now—everything to do with the Middle East—and trying to find answers to that problem.

Q. What about the Syrian and the Saudi Foreign Ministers?

Q. What about the balanced budget, Mr. President? What are you going to say tomorrow?

The President. Tune in tomorrow.

Q. What about the ones who say that with a big deficit—you shouldn't be campaigning for a balanced budget because you have the biggest deficits in history.

The President. Yes, and there have been giant budgets for 21 of the last 22 years that I didn't have anything to do with. Now, we're going to try to turn the situation around.

Q. Mr. President, what did Mr. Begin say about—in his reply, concerning the—what did Begin say in his reply concerning the use of the cluster bomb?

The President. That report has just come in and is under study right now.

Q. Is it satisfactory?

The President. I can't tell you. We'll tell you.

Q. Thank you.

Note: The President spoke with reporters assembled at the South Portico of the White House as he was returning from a weekend stay at Camp David, Md.

What's so interesting about half an
inning that you'd come from Iowa
to talk to me about it
I didn't really know
till just now,
but I think it's to ask you if you
could do anything you wanted,
if you could have a wish...
And you're the kind of a man
who could grant me that wish?
I don't know. I'm just asking.
Well, you know,
I never got to bat
in the major leagues.
I'd have liked to have had
that chance, just once,
to stare down
a big-league pitcher.
Then just as he goes
into his windup, wink.
Make him think
you know something he doesn't.

For all these obvious clues that demonstrate that Microsoft is stealing my image, I am only finding the easy ones. Microsoft/Corbis's grand larceny is much more complex. They are developing their content by stalking me constantly and when they start selling the property they have stolen from me, all of what I have figured out so far will be just the tip of the iceburg. I am seeing that my family, including my children, are showing up in Microsoft/Corbis's attempts to steal my image for the financial gain of Microsoft/Corbis and accomplices. It may be that all this wasn't supposed to be revealed by them until decades from now so they are taking a lot of time to develop the content because there is going to be such a large market for it in the future. And they have a world audience to market to. They can, for example, play up on anti-American sentiment and that is why they revealed that I flew with Israel to Iraq in 1981. A lot of people that hate America would be very interested in buying and viewing that content. Bill Gates is thinking that there will be so much anti-American sentiment by that time that no one will really care that they had hidden cameras in my homes for all those years. People will still purchase and view whatever content they deliver regardless of just how badly Microsoft/Corbis was stalking me or because of the destruction Microsoft/Corbis caused as a result of selling their stolen product.

It is a win-win for Bill Gates and accomplices. He knows that people will still buy the property he has stolen from me regardless of how it wrecks my life. It is the same reason the paparazzi has such a lucrative appeal for people. If there wasn't a lot of money to be made in stalking celebrities, there wouldn't be so many people taking pictures of them. Bill Gates is the king of the paparazzi and he has billions to spend on crooked lawyers such as Brad Smith, dirty cops such as Dave Reichert, and corrupt politicians such as George W. Bush. There is something to all this that for Bill Gates is beyond money but I don't know what it is. Maybe he doesn't need any motivation and is doing it just because he is a sociopath.

Fifty Years of Paparazzi Photography

May 23, 2014

by Nadja Sayej

If you’re a fan of the not-so-classy celebrity shot, we’ve got a show for you: more than 600 snaps from the sneakiest and ballsiest photographers who have captured some of the most iconic work of the 20th century, exposing stars who are no different than we are. Paparazzi! Photographers: Stars and Artists is the first 50-year retrospective of paparazzi photography. The show opens on June 27 at the Schirn Kunsthalle in Frankfurt and travels from Centre Pompidou in Metz, showcasing spy cameras, long lenses, and disguises, not to mention photos by Richard Avedon, Ron Galella, and Andy Warhol.

Some of the photos will even make you chukle. One photograph is of Mick Jagger chucking a teacup at French photographer Pascal Rostain. Another of Marlin Brando storming past photographer Ron Gallela, who is wearing a football helmet because Brando knocked out five of his teeth. Gallela is probably the only photographer who sued Brando, affirming, “I don't want anyone to think they can go around punching me if I am taking their picture. Get that story out, not the money.”

Madonna’s garbage is on view, courtesy of photographers Pascal Rostain and Bruno Mouron, who dig through the trash of celebrities.

Someone who suffers from this severe a condition would be prescribed a very bland diet. Yet this is what I found in his stomach. Fatty beef, chorizo sausage, lard, locoto peppers.
