What makes it most believable is that single detail, a detail most arcane and trivial.
I continue with my attempt to assemble proof of conspiracy
Sure, a criminal-conspiracy to defraud me is clearly present
And I have no faith in the USA government to pursue my claim.
Because I will not, first of all, pay their bribes of volition
So, their criminal-conspiracy to defraud is clearly present, but I maintain there is something much more sinister in progress right now by them
And they are not even trying to understand it
China knows Donald J. Trump is 100% crooked. And if China knows it then the USA knows what China knows
That would have been a lead-in for another blog-post I have in draft but I am not certain if I will ever finish it and post it here. I work on many different topics each and every day here at this stupid desk.
"Earth Abides" for me would be having nobody but Evelyn and Hope to read these posts, that has so completely and absolutely consumed my life these past 20 years
Meanwhile, in other news...
You are a disgusting transvestite.
Get over yourself.
Nobody cares.

There was a great vacantness somewhere. From shock they were walking in a kind of haze. They were people without hope. New York, their world, had vanished; it would never live again in their time. They had no interest when Ish tried to tell them what had happened in the rest of the United States.

First on CNN: Trump picks Kristi Noem to serve as his Homeland Security secretary
By Kaitlan Collins, CNN
Updated 8:22 PM EST, Tue November 12, 2024
President-elect Donald Trump has selected South Dakota Gov. Kristi Noem as his next secretary of the Department of Homeland Security, according to two people familiar with the selection.
“Kristi has been very strong on Border Security,” Trump said in a statement officially announcing the pick later Tuesday.
“She will work closely with ‘Border Czar’ Tom Homan to secure the Border, and will guarantee that our American Homeland is secure from our adversaries,” he added.

The goat desisted from eating the hedge, and looked at Ish. Perhaps, thought Ish, the animal was looking also at the man in amusement and some curiosity. Men now had rarity-value. Having looked for a few seconds, as if it might be equal to equal, the goat again returned to the more profitable business of eating the long shoots which had grown out from the hedge. Doubtless they were very succulent.
Princess suddenly returned from some expedition of her own, and flew at the strange animal in a frenzy of barking. The goat put down his horns and made a sudden dash at the dog. Princess, who seldom had much stomach for a fight, turned quickly with her rabbit-like dodge, and raced back to her man. The goat resumed eating.
A few minutes later Ish saw the goat walking calmly along the sidewalk, as if he owned it and all of San Lupo Drive.
"Well, why not?" thought Ish. "Perhaps he does. This is certainly a New Deal."

excerpts, Chapter 22
“You know who that was on the phone.”
“It was really him, then?”
“The President, yes. I’ve been relieved. The dirty alderman relieved me, Len. Of course I knew it was coming. But it still hurts. Hurts like hell. It hurts coming from that grinning, gladhanding sack of shit.”
Len Creighton nodded.
“Well,” Starkey said, passing a hand over his face. “It’s done. Can’t be undone. You’re in charge now. He wants you in Washington as soon as you can get there. He’ll have you on the carpet and he’ll chew your ass to a bloody rag, but you just stand there and yessir him and take it. We’ve salvaged what we can. It’s enough. I’m convinced it’s enough.”
“If so, this country ought to get down on its knees to you.”
“The throttle burned my hand, but I… I held it as long as I could, Len. I held it.” He spoke with quiet vehemence, but his eyes wandered back to the monitor, and for a moment his mouth quivered infirmly. “I couldn’t have done it without you.”
“Well… we go back a country mile or three, Billy, don’t we?”
“You can say that again, soldier. Now—listen. One thing is top priority. You’ve got to see Jack Cleveland, first chance you get. He knows who we’ve got behind both curtains, iron and bamboo. He knows how to get in touch with them, and he won’t stick at what has to be done. He’ll know it’ll have to be quick.”
“I don’t understand, Billy.”
“We have to assume the worst,” Starkey said, and a queer grin came over his face. It lifted his upper lip and made it wrinkle like the snout of a dog protecting a farmyard. He pointed a finger at the sheets of yellow flimsy on the table. “It’s out of control now. It’s popped up in Oregon, Nebraska, Louisiana, Florida. Tentative cases in Mexico and Chile. When we lost Atlanta, we lost the three men best equipped to deal with the problem. We’re getting exactly nowhere with Mr. Stuart ‘Prince’ Redman. Did you know they actually injected him with the Blue virus? He thought it was a sedative. He killed it, and no one has the slightest idea how. If we had six weeks, we might be able to turn the trick. But, we don’t. The flu story is the best one, but it is imperative—imperative —that the other side never sees this as an artificial situation created in America. It might give them ideas.
“Cleveland has between eight and twenty men and women in the U.S.S.R. and between five and ten in each of the European satellite countries. Not even I know how many he has in Red China.” Starkey’s mouth was trembling again. “When you see Cleveland this afternoon, all you need tell him is Rome falls. You won’t forget?”
“No,” Len said. His—lips felt curiously cold. “But do you really expect that they’ll do it? Those men and women?”
“Our people got those vials one week ago. They believe they contain radioactive particles to be charted by our Sky-Cruise satellites. That’s all they need to know, isn’t it, Len?”
“Yes, Billy.”
“And if things do go from bad to… to worse, no one will ever know. Project Blue was uninfiltrated to the very end, we’re sure of that. A new virus, a mutation… our opposite numbers may suspect, but there won’t be time enough. Share and share alike, Len.”
“Yes.”
Starkey was looking at the monitors again. “My daughter gave me a book of poems some years ago. By a man named Yeets. She said every military man should read Yeets. I think it was her idea of a joke. You ever heard of Yeets, Len?”
“I think so,” Creighton said, considering and rejecting the idea of telling Starkey the man’s name was pronounced Yates.
“I read every line,” Starkey said, as he peered into the eternal silence of the cafeteria. “Mostly because she thought I wouldn’t. It’s a mistake to become too predictable. I didn’t understand much of it—I believe the man must have been crazy—but I read it. Funny poetry. Didn’t always rhyme. But there was one poem in that book that I’ve never been able to get out of my mind. It seemed as if that man was describing everything I dedicated my life to, its hopelessness, its damned nobility. He said that things fall apart. He said the center doesn’t hold. I believe he meant that things get flaky, Len. That’s what I believe he meant. Yeets knew that sooner or later things get goddam flaky around the edges even if he didn’t know anything else.”
“Yes, sir,” Creighton said quietly.
“The end of it gave me goosebumps the first time I read it, and it still does. I’ve got that part by heart. ‘What rough beast, its hour come round at last, slouches towards Bethlehem to be born?’”
Creighton stood silent. He had nothing to say.
“The beast is on its way,” Starkey said, turning around. He was weeping and grinning. “It’s on its way, and it’s a good deal rougher than that fellow Yeets ever could have imagined. Things are falling apart. The job is to hold as much as we can for as long as we can.”
“Yes, sir,” Creighton said, and for the first time he felt the sting of tears in his own eyes. “Yes, Billy.”
Starkey put out his hand and Creighton took it in both of his own. Starkey’s hand was old and cold, like the shed skin of a snake in which some small prairie animal has died, leaving its own fragile skeleton within the husk of the reptile. Tears overspilled the lower arcs of Starkey’s eyes and ran down his meticulously shaved cheeks.
“I have business to attend to,” Starkey said.
“Yes, sir.”

GERALD R. FORD
38th President of the United States: 1974 - 1977
The President's News Conference
August 28, 1974
THE PRESIDENT. Good afternoon.
At the outset, I have a very important and a very serious announcement. There was a little confusion about the date of this press conference. My wife Betty had scheduled her first press conference for the same day. And obviously, I had scheduled my first press conference for this occasion. So, Betty's was postponed.
We worked this out between us in a calm and orderly way. She will postpone her press conference until next week, and until then, I will be making my own breakfast, my own lunch, and my own dinner. [Laughter]
Helen [Helen Thomas, United Press International].
QUESTIONS
IMMUNITY OR PARDON FOR FORMER PRESIDENT NIXON
[1.] Q. Mr. President, aside from the Special Prosecutor's role, do you agree with the bar association that the law applies equally to all men, or do you agree with Governor Rockefeller that former President Nixon should have immunity from prosecution? And specifically, would you use your pardon authority, if necessary?
THE PRESIDENT. Well, let me say at the outset that I made a statement in this room a few moments after the swearing in. And on that occasion I said the following: that I had hoped that our former President, who brought peace to millions, would find it for himself.
Now, the expression made by Governor Rockefeller, I think, coincides with the general view and the point of view of the American people. I subscribe to that point of view, but let me add, in the last 10 days or 2 weeks I have asked for prayers for guidance on this very important point.
In this situation, I am the final authority. There have been no charges made, there has been no action by the courts, there has been no action by any jury. And until any legal process has been undertaken, I think it is unwise and untimely for me to make any commitment.

Sci-Fi Classic ‘Earth Abides’ Greenlit as TV Series Starring Alexander Ludwig
MGM+ is doing a new take on George R. Stewart’s post-apocalyptic novel with showrunner Todd Komarnicki.
By James Hibberd
March 26, 2024 9:00 am
George R. Stewart’s classic sci-fi novel Earth Abides has been officially greenlit as a limited series for streaming channel MGM+.
The story follows the aftermath of a global plague and is being adapted by creator and showrunner Todd Komarnicki (Sully), and has signed Alexander Ludwig (Vikings, The Covenant) to star. Previously announced as in development, MGM+ plans six episodes to tell the 1949 book’s tale.
From the official description: “Leading character Ish (Ludwig) is a brilliant but solitary young geologist living a semi-isolated life who awakens from a coma only to find that there is no one left alive but him. A plague of unprecedented virulence has swept the globe, and yes, there are a few scattered survivors, but there are no rules. His journey is to learn the difference between sanctuary and survival and to open his heart to love if he is to find meaning in his life after the great machine of civilization has broken down.”
Stephen King has said Earth Abides was one of his inspirations for his famed novel The Stand.
“It has been an unmitigated thrill to adapt such a seminal sci-fi work, and the themes illuminated by George Stewart 75 years ago could not be more meaningful and timelier for the world we are living in today,” said Komarnicki. “Despite the chaos and division that greets us every morning in the news, the truth remains that the way forward for society is through unity, compassion, forgiveness, understanding, and grace.”

“It’s very special to reintroduce Earth Abides to fans of George Stewart’s seminal work of science fiction, as well as to a new generation,” added Michael Wright, head of MGM+. “The story’s messages of humanity, hope, and compassion are as relevant today as they were nearly a century ago.”
Earth Abides will begin production in Vancouver on April 8 and is expected to premiere later this year.

MGM+ has greenlit an adaptation of Earth Abides, a new take on George R. Stewart’s sci-fi novel of the same name.
The six-episode limited series will star Alexander Ludwig (Vikings) as Ish; production will begin in Vancouver on April 8. Earth Abides is slated to premiere on MGM+ in late 2024.
When a plague of unprecedented virulence sweeps the globe, the human race is all but wiped out. In the aftermath, as the great machine of civilization slowly and inexorably breaks down, only a few shattered survivors remain to struggle against the slide into extinction.
Ish is a brilliant but solitary young geologist living a semi-isolated life who awakens from a coma only to find that there is no one left alive but him. A plague of unprecedented virulence has swept the globe, and yes, there are a few scattered survivors, but there are no rules.
Created by showrunner Todd Komarnicki (Sully), the series comes from MGM+ Studios and executive producers Kearie Peak and Lighthouse Productions’ Michael Phillips and Juliana Maio.
“It’s very special to reintroduce Earth Abides to fans of George Stewart’s seminal work of science fiction, as well as to a new generation,” said Michael Wright, head of MGM+ in a statement. “The story’s messages of humanity, hope, and compassion are as relevant today as they were nearly a century ago.”

TRUE BELIEVERS
The problem was environmental tolerance. They knew the baseline organism was as effective as it needed to be. It was just so delicate. Exposed to air, it died far too easily. They weren't sure why, exactly. It might have been temperature or humidity, or too much oxygen - that element so essential to life was a great killer of life at the molecular level - and the uncertainty had been a great annoyance until a member of the team had come up with a solution. They'd used genetic-engineering technology to graft cancer genes into the organism. Specifically, they'd used genetic material from colon cancer, one of the more robust strains, and the results had been striking. The new organism was only a third of a micron larger and far stronger. The proof was on the electron microscope's TV screen. The tiny strands had been exposed to room air and room light for ten hours before being reintroduced into the culture dish, and already, the technician saw, the minute strands were active, using their RNA to multiply after eating, replicating themselves into millions more little strands, which had only one purpose - to eat tissue. In this case it was kidney tissue, though liver was just as vulnerable. The technician - who had a medical degree from Yale made the proper written notations, and then, because it was her project, she got to name it. She blessed the course in comparative religion she'd taken twenty years before. You couldn't just call it anything, could you?
Shiva, she thought. Yes, the most complex and interesting of the Hindu gods, by turns the Destroyer and the Restorer, who controlled poison meant to destroy mankind, and one of whose consorts was Kali, the goddess of death herself. Shiva. Perfect. The tech made the proper notations, including her recommended name for the organism. There would be one more test, one more technological hurdle to hop before all was ready for execution. Execution, she thought, a proper word for the project. On rather a grand scale.

DYING FLAME
"This is the day, Carol," John Brightling told his ex-wife. "Less than ten hours from now, the Project starts."
She dropped Jiggs on the floor and came to embrace him. "Oh, John!"
"I know," he told her. "It's been a long time. Couldn't have done it without you."
Henriksen was there, too. "Okay, I talked with Wil Gearing twenty minutes ago. He'll be hooking up the Shiva dispenser right before they start the closing ceremonies. The weather is working for us, too. It's going to be another hot one in Sydney, temperature's supposed to hit ninety-seven degrees. So, people'll be camping out under the foggers."
"And breathing heavily," Dr. John Brightling confirmed.

McBride says House Republicans’ bathroom ban is ‘attempt to distract from what they are actually doing’

Rep.-elect Sarah McBride (D-Del.), the first transgender person elected to Congress, said Sunday that House Republicans’ bathroom ban is an “attempt to distract from what they are actually doing.”
I think we are all united that attempts to attack a vulnerable community are not only mean-spirited, but really an attempt to misdirect,” she added.

No Man's Land is the two-part, two-night Season 1 finale of the Starz Original Series Counterpart.
He then reflects on the fact that he can look at D2 Emily and think of all the things he’s shared with his Emily, but he doesn’t really know this counterpart version of his wife.
Howard decides to go home because he misses his wife. He exits with one of Shaw’s men following him.
Shock and Awe
Back in Dimension One, large packages roll through Oskar Wolfe’s station in the mail room. The x-ray machine shows one of them is filled with guns. He removes it from the belt and places it on a mail cart.
Peter Quayle drags Clare out of the house and forces her into their SUV. He says Clare’s mother picked up the baby and they’re going for a drive. Aldrich’s man follows them. Clare wonders aloud if Peter is turning her in. He doesn’t answer, just drives faster, running red lights and squealing around curves.
He wonders if some part of him actually loves the part of her that he knows, that we only see the parts of people that we want to see. He says he’s a fool and a coward. She apologizes. He goes even faster. He says it’s “time for some bravery” and crashes head-on into an industrial metal dumpster.
Aldrich’s men arrive at the scene of the crash, pause for just a second, and then quickly drive away.
D2 Howard arrives at the D1 Office of Interchange. Cyrus alerts Aldrich and they take Howard into an interrogation room.
In another part of the building, D2 Oskar Wolfe is delivering packages to the Strategy Office. He is not questioned by the guard and the cameras watching the “Copper Room” don’t catch anything suspicious. He delivers the box with the guns to D2 Rashad Roumani who works at a desk just outside Peter Quayle’s office in the Strategy Bullpen.
Howard tells Aldrich that he can’t be so stupid as to think that Howard is the leak. He tells them about Clare and says there are “multiple points of compromise” in the OI.
In the Diplomacy Office, D2 Helen enters a code and allows Rashad onto the floor. He hands her a bag of clips and what appears to be an Uzi.
Oskar wheels the mail cart to a locked door, removes his own weapons from a box and waits watching for the keypad to go from red to green.
Roland Fancher is alerted by phone to Clare’s accident and calls out to Helen that he needs his car. He runs into his assistant walking down the hallway with the Uzi. She fires into a group of employees and Fancher falls back stunned. She ignores him and heads toward the end of the office.
Rashad opens fire in the bullpen and employees scatter screaming.
Aldrich and Cyrus hear the commotion. They lock Howard in the room and go to investigate.
Rashad makes his way into a security control room and closes the door. He begins turning keys and breaking them off along a bank of servers. An automated announcement (in German) and a klaxon begin sounding.
The keys apparently control the security doors. The third one he breaks causes the door Oskar is standing outside to open. The door to the interrogation room opens as well and Howard is free.
Cyrus makes it to the security room, but Rashad manages to disarm him. He is about to shoot Cyrus when Aldrich appears in the door and fires twice. Rashad falls to the ground dead. Aldrich looks at the damage that’s done to the security equipment and realize they’re trying to get downstairs to the The Crossing. Cyrus punches a big red button and another, louder, klaxon starts sounding throughout the building.
Oskar shoots the guards in the tunnel outside customs.
D2 Howard finds a gun on one of the dead employees in the Strategy Bullpen and takes it. He hears a new round of gunfire coming from the accounting department where he worked for one day (See Both Sides Now) and goes to investigate.
Helen is killing anyone who crosses her path. She takes aim at close range on Howard’s “boss” but is shot in the head from behind before she can pull the trigger. Howard took her out with one shot. Howard helps the wounded man up and out of the office.
Oskar kills only the armed guards in the customs area, regular employees he simply shoves out of the way. He goes behind the desk and triggers the button to open the door to The Crossing. Before he can enter, He is shot in the arm by Aldrich or Cyrus. He returns fire and they take cover. He continues to advance and is shot in the back. He kills more guards on the other side of the door and limps down into The Crossing. He’s bleeding from several wounds. He falls down the last few steps and crawls to a yellow line painted on the floor.
Aldrich says they can’t touch him now because he’s on the border.

He drops back down to the floor, where Skaara is standing, looking out in case any guards notice. Daniel and Carter watch from a distance.
CARTER: So Ra isn't dead after all.
JACKSON: It wasn't Ra. It was Apophis.
CARTER: Who?
JACKSON: Um... it's from Egyptian mythology. Ra was the sun god who ruled the day, Apophis was the serpent god, Ra's rival, who ruled the night. It's right out of the Book of the Dead. They're living it.
