Had the entire content of this blog-post developed and assembled
Looked across my desk to the tv-screen against the wall
The 4 PM local live-tv news broadcast gave me a new topic to research.
So, I am tacking on to the ending of this post my observations about that tv-news content on this Event Date variable 09/24/2024 in my original-work code-pattern. The details caused me to pursue a Target Date variable of 07/21/2006. I didn't know at the time I first saw the tv-news segment but as soon as I looked up on Wikipedia for the episode premiere date, which I had no idea of and could only guess it was from season 10, which it is, I instantly recognized the significance of that day 07/21/2006 and it made it only more compelling to research and develop as content for this post
There is no way in hell I could ever believe she did that on her own, even though she assigns her name to it
No, I started thinking this is a perfect example of how those gullible morons in the mainstream-media are "viral" idiots and susceptible to misinforming the public at large when they start parroting "A.I.! Squawk! A.I.!"
They're morons. And you're gullible enough to swallow their nonsense. None of you will ever learn
Isolated and since 05/10/2006 trying to figure out WTF and another day in this small apartment in Spokane, I just want to know what's happening out in the world
by me, Kerry Burgess, 12/25/2023 8:42 PM
You must be a world-class imbecile to think there is anything "artificially intelligent" about computer programs.
It's popular in mainstream-media because marketing buzzwords is all those parrots have
Today's "A.I." - SQUAWK! - is nothing more than the computer-viruses and computer-worms of software programs from 20 years ago
Just because *you* initiate a computer-app that *you* allow access to your email contacts list and then sends - unintended by *you* - "ILOVEYOU" messages to all of those contacts, that does not mean the computer program can "learn" as we humans can learn because of comprehension and perception. Machines have neither and never will, no matter how intelligent the software-programmers.

The point I make now is about how this code-pattern in my original-work can be hijacked now that we are firmly established in this they-know-I-know-they-know-I-know phase of my public campaign on social-media, which I have worked on every single day - without exception - since I started this blog on 08/30/2005
My interpretation of my original-work code-pattern is subjective.
So there are other possible interpretations
To hijack it would be simple
They know the basic product of my interpretation
So they find results that include the result they can guess I will take and they inject into *their* content other notions that match the results that I do not choose
That makes this all a pointless exercise
And then, the "echoes"
They have no possible control over that part

I also have these unexplained thoughts that I was a fighter pilot in the U.S. military, although I'm not sure which service, but I may have been in two different branches over time. I am also confused about thoughts that I may have been a helicopter pilot. What's next? A space shuttle pilot? Seems like a lot for someone that is only 40. And, while I am not sure when this divergence happened, I am reasonably certain it was before I turned 33. So I must have been a pretty busy guy. Especially because I have thoughts that I was some kind of mathmetician too. I have these thoughts too that I was captured by enemy forces at some point and tortured while in captivity.

A few minutes ago I started thinking that maybe I started at Princeton University in 1972. I would have been 13 at the time as Thomas Ray. I remember that Kerry Burgess started first grade in 1972. But then I decided that I probably started Princeton earlier than 1972 and maybe 1972 was the year I completed my first major degree. Or 1972 doesn’t really mean anything in particular to Thomas Ray; rather it is there for continuity sake for the life of Kerry Burgess.

Salesman
Also, "Salesman." I saw that in a dream while sleeping recently. I saw myself going through an induction process in the United States Marine Corps and I woke up understanding that I was dreaming of my actual experience in 1990. I saw a document that indicated I was being inducted to the United States Marine Corps with the officer grade of Chief Warrant Officer 2. I saw in the dream another document associated with my induction and that document indicated I had been assigned the informal name "Salesman."

Residential College Council ratifies official charter to gain recognition
By AVANI MEHTA
The Residential College Council (RCC) last week ratified an official charter, making it a recognized student organization, chair Ilya Shapiro '99 said. The charter states the primary aim S of the RCC — which is to promote unity among the five colleges — and details the legislative structure and rules of the council, Shapiro explained. All five residential colleges have approved and submitted the charter to Assistant Dean of Student Life Beth Morgan, he said. The RCC was established several years ago as the Inter-College Council, an informal organization that organized social events, Shapiro said. Last spring, the council disbanded because members had personal conflicts and there was no written organizing constitution on which to depend, he explained. Sophomores gathered this fall under the leadership of former InterCollege Council chair Brian Gaw '98 to rename and rejuvenate the
RCC and to put together a charter, Shapiro added. Without a charter, the council had no set of regulating rules, and its finances were going astray, Gaw said. "We had no framework within which to operate," he explained. According to Gaw, the council had difficulty wording the charter, facing "a question of autonomy." "The Residential College Council is funded by the residential colleges, but if the RCC was responsible to each college for every decision, nothing would get done," Gaw explained. The new charter gives the RCC autonomy to organize events regardless of a residential college veto, Gaw said. However, the council must review the plans "if any of the colleges disapproves of them. "The function of the RCC is to sponsor events that will encourage greater inter-college interaction," said vicechair Brian Johnson '99. "We want to avoid (isolationism) between colleges."
Each of the five residential colleges has its own council from which two members are selected for the RCC. "Representatives come to the council with the interests of their college in mind," said treasurer Mark Ellis '99. "The RCC is not just an extension of the residential colleges," Ellis said. "It is a separate group designed to bridge the gap between the different colleges." The Class of 1998 RCC board organized several events, including the computer dating dance, the "screw your roommate" dance and the lip syncing contest, said Gaw. "We hope to expand next year to provide different types of activities," Shapiro said. The RCC will pass out questionnaires to the current first-year class to determine what events it would like the council to organize in the upcoming year, said Johnson. "We are going to be running activities that the student body really wants," he added.

41st President of the United States: 1989 - 1993
Executive Order 12812 - Declassification and Release of Materials Pertaining to Prisoners of War and Missing in Action
July 22, 1992
WHEREAS, the Senate, by S. Res. 324 of July 2, 1992, has asked that I "expeditiously issue an Executive order requiring all executive branch departments and agencies to declassify and publicly release without compromising United States national security all documents, files, and other materials pertaining to POWs and MIAs;" and
WHEREAS, indiscriminate release of classified material could jeopardize continuing United States Government efforts to achieve the fullest possible accounting of Vietnam-era POWs and MIAs; and
WHEREAS, I have concluded that the public interest would be served by the declassification and public release of materials pertaining to Vietnam-era POWs and MIAs as provided below;
NOW, THEREFORE, by the authority vested in me as President by the Constitution and the laws of the United States of America, I hereby order as follows:
Section 1. All executive departments and agencies shall expeditiously review all documents, files, and other materials pertaining to American POWs and MIAs lost in Southeast Asia for the purposes of declassification in accordance with the standards and procedures of Executive Order No. 12356.
Sec. 2. All executive departments and agencies shall make publicly available documents, files, and other materials declassified pursuant to section 1, except for those the disclosure of which would constitute a clearly unwarranted invasion of personal privacy of returnees, family members of POWs and MIAs, or other persons, or would impair the deliberative processes of the executive branch.
Sec. 3. This order is not intended to create any right or benefit, substantive or procedural, enforceable by a party against the United States, its agencies or instrumentalities, its officers or employees, or any other person.
George Bush.

He dumped me off at the St. Francis hospital in Federal Way where the first thing they did was secretly drug my food. I found it very hard to restrain the urge to laugh shortly after I had eaten.

INT—VAGONBREI CAVERN
[Mitchell and Teal'c walk down a steep grade in the corridor. Along one wall, Mitchell's flashlight picks out a four-legged reptilian creature crawling on the wall before disappearing through a small hole.]
MITCHELL
Whoa!
[The two men move towards the hole. Mitchell drops to his knees to rest, groaning in exhaustion. Teal'c bends over, also very fatigued.]
MITCHELL
Okay. Question. If what took out the village is what killed all the wildlife around here, how come that little sucker's alive and kickin'?
TEAL'C
It may possess a natural immunity to this mysterious affliction.
MITCHELL
Yeah, that's exactly my point, so all we've gotta do is catch Joe Bob there, take him back up to Carter and Reemer—Reimer—whatever. They reverse-engineer an antidote, and Bob's your uncle, we sleep 'til Tuesday.
TEAL'C

Yes, we have. All right, well... we'll nab Junior first, then we'll call Carter when we get back up to the surface.
[Mitchell slowly stands and starts moving further into the cave.]
INT—VAGONBREI HOME PARLOR
[Reimer sits in front of his laptop, his eyes continually closing. Carter sits next to him, also struggling to stay awake in front of her computer. The door opens and Daniel enters. He staggers over to the table and leans on a straight-backed chair.]
DANIEL
(wearily)
Progress?
CARTER
(hoarsely)
We've been, [cough] theorizing that when the parasite enters the bloodstream, it triggers the body's immune response and the production of seratonin, then it makes its way to the patient's brain where it lodges and feeds.
[While she speaks, Reimer takes several pills and downs them with a swig of water from a bottle.]
DANIEL
Feeds?
[He moves his chair next to Carter and collapses into it.]
DANIEL
On what?
REIMER
(tiredly)
Melatonin. Our analysis showed the parasite we removed from Ackerman gorged itself on the stuff.
CARTER
It stimulates the production of melatonin which floods the body; that's why the urge to sleep is so powerful. Once you give in, the parasite just keeps on feeding until…
[Carter glances over to Daniel. Daniel is obviously trying to follow the conversation with difficulty. He indicates she should continue.]
CARTER
The engorged parasite affects the surrounding cranial tissue, eventually provoking a lethal aneurysm.
[Daniel slumps in his chair further. Carter clears her throat again.]
CARTER
(continuing)
But, we're thinking that it may be possible to starve out the parasite. So, to that end, we have isolated a specimen that we awakened from a dormant state.
