From page 875 of Lockhart: 902, 1063, 1068: Four months before Roth, the S.C. in a unanimous decision, Butler v Michigan (1957) 1 L Ed 2d 412, 352 US 380, 77 S Ct 524 struck down a statute forbidding sales to the general public of material “containg obsene languate [tending] to inciet minors to violance or depraved acts”: “the State insists that [by] quanrantining the general reading public against books not too rugged for grown men and women in order to shield juvenil innocence, it is exercigin its power to promot the general welfare.

Page 165: In 1763 William Pitt argued in Parliament against general searches as follows:

The poorest man may, in his cottage, bid defiance to all the forces of the Crown. It may be frail; its room may shake; the wind may blow through it;the storm may center; the rain may enter’ bu the Kind of England may not enter.

He lost. Parliament passed the bill authorizing general searches.

Page 159. Aha! The thing with Judge Sharp in Indiana was inquisitorial rather than simply accusatorial. The phrase “Due process” goes back to 1354 when Parliament passed a law forbidding the government from imprisoning anybody “Without being brought in answer by due process of law”.

The inquisition permitted questioning upon a mere suspicion. The subject was expected to testify against himself and clear up the matter - just as Judge Sharp wanted me to do.

Aha! Page 160. In 1637, a Puritan activist named John Lilburne imported and distributed various political tracts and was brought before the Star Chamber. Lilburne refused to be examined under oath, claiming that it violated “the law of the land” and invoking the Magna Carta. Condemning the oath as a procedure that was fundamentally unfair, Lilburne said that he would not take it even “though I be pulled to pieces by wild horses.” Lilburne was held in contempt of court, publicly whipped, fined, and jailed in solitary confinement. He wasn’t released until 1641. But his crusade for fair procedures and his willingness to absorb severe punishment rather than forsake principle inflamed the public - on both sides of the Atlantic - and Lilburne became a great symbol. He suffered, but not without effect: In 1645 Parliament set aside the judgment again Lilburne, finding that it had indeed violated “the law of the land and Magna Carta.” In 1648 he was granted damages for his unjust imprisonment!! Yes!!

Lilburne led the Levelers. He was arrested again and again and died in prison at age 43.

At his very last trial Lilburne won the then unprecedented right to receive a copy of the charges again him and to be represented by a lawyer.

Page 166 Samuel Adams said that the unrest over general search “was “the commencement of the controversy between Great Britain and America.”

Need to read this book.

John Steinbeck biography. 1996. Catherine Reef or something like that.

27 July 97. I read John Steinbeck’s 1996 biography last night. He was like me!

A pleasant read. 150 pages. Photos. Good photos. Author: Catherine Reef. Publisher: Clarion Books. New York. Published in 1996. Called “John Steinbeck.”

It is comforting for me to read biographies. I see that all persons have obstacles in life - with the possible exception of Bill Gates. Steinbeck felt a kinship to Don Quixote; so do I. A psychiatrist says that I have Don Quixote syndrome. Steinbeck had a theory of macropsychology that he called “phalanx” theory. He also believed in a non-teleological approach to life. In other words, people just do what they do to survive. Events set in motion. Although we like to imagine a grand plan to life, there are only events set in motion. There is not always a happy ending - or even an ending - as we see in the ending to “Grapes of Wrath”. There is no resolution to the story. Paradoxically, having acknowledged the nonteleological nature of, well, nature, Steinbeck and I realize that we as humans are gifted with the steering mechanism of conscious - and we take a teleological approach. Just as we recognize that feudalism is natural law - but we rise above it. Greed is the driving force of Malthusian economics - which economics will fade in the coming age of self actualization.

Palaschak’s new theory of teleology. The non-teleological must yield to the teleological! The crude stupid must yield to the smart good people who are actually trying to do good. By yield, I mean, cut us some slack and listen to us. Steinbeck was a fighter for social justice. His “Grapes of Wrath” was a tome against oppressive employers.

“Steinbeck visited the Arvin Sanitary Camp, a government facility near Bakersfield, California. It was a place the migrants called ‘Weedpatch’” - page 74, Steinbeck by Catherine Reef. 1996.

Page 92. Senator Robert La Follette of Wisconsin was inspired by Grapes of Wrath and introduced pro-labor legislation. (Wow my current thought process sought out the page where Arthur Miller was mentioned and it was the next page that I had marked. Consistent and repeatable logic.) Page 122: The establishment nonetheless condemned Steinbeck and wreaked their own wrath against other suspected communist authors such as Arthur Miller who wrote The Death of a Salesman - and of more topical note: The Crucible! Aha! The 1996 hit movie that I saw with my sister Julia in Florida. It starred Wynona Ryder. Written in 1953 during the McCarthy communist witch hunt, it is a play about a witch hunt. Miller refused to answer their inquiries. They wanted to know who the other communists were. Upon refusal he was convicted of contempt of Congress and fined - but the 1 month sentence was suspended.

Page 125. In The Winter of Our Discontent by Steinbeck the protagonist laments his son’s acceptance of corruption and shady business deals - just as I lament the dealings of Fred Rogers which, for example, he takes $5000 to do a case and then drops out after one week and gives $2000 back even thought he did nothing on the case.

Page 128. Steinbeck traveled the US in 1960 to gather information for his book Travels with Charley. Steinbeck named his truck Rocinante after Don Quixote’s horse.

Late in the 14th century a learned English theologian name John Wycliffe preached against the worldly excesses of the clergy. This resulted in the peasant’s revolt in England in 1381 The church banned his books. In 1482 they even ordered his bones dug up and burned. At the end of the 14th century Wycliffe’s doctrines were taken up by a popular Bohemian preacher, John Hus. This is the tie in to the Czech book. John Hus was burned as a heretic in 1415. The Hussite movement would not die. Martin Luther was his progeny but Luther played up to the princes and faired better. Anabaptists.

This book is a reference book and I cannot check it out of the library. However, the “patriots” are right when they say that the private ownership of gold was outlawed. It was outlawed by executive order - in 1933 as I recall. Then by executive Order a corporation was established to buy up all newly mined gold in the U.S. at a fixed price.

1982 March. Rule 415. Blue chip stocks could now register a block of stock and sell it piecemeal. Why could they not do this before?

1984 May. Mother’s day weekedn. Run on Continental Chicago. FDIC said they would cover it even though it was uninsured stuff. Continental’s money was “hot money” money not insured because it was bought in chunks

In 1986 there were over 346 mergers in the million dollar mark. To stay independent, corporations could no longer be financially sound because a takeover firm would take them over, drain their cash and disassemble them. Next step LBO leveraged buy out.

Chemistry - just an observation

Cinnamon does not work without sugar. Energy to power the neurotransmitters. Ephedrine does not upset the stomach without sugar - and that is why stimulant users drink diet beverages!

Chemistry books are deficient in explaining theories of volume changes when adding sugar to water - or any other mixture of solubles. Also, the concept of liquids and solids fails to mentio the state of being in solution when the solid becomes invisible!

Jan 15, 1920 Volstead act did not prohibit consumption - just prohibited “the manufacture, sale, or transportation of intoxicating liquors” repeal ratified on Dec 5, 1933 - just months after gold was outlawed. They gave us back our booze but took our gold. March 4, 1970 Meyer Lansky busted at the airport because one bottle of his regular prescription drugs did not have his name on it because his regular pharmacist sold it to him without a prescription. In other words, the drug was prescribed to him - but not this particular bottle. Chickenshit. This was his only drug conviction. Charges dismissed. Page 340: March 22, 1972. Israeli Supreme Court. Lanksy v State of Israel. Petition going back to the Britich Mandate, an order nisi requiring the high court to invalidate the mnister of the interior’s decisino unless the minister could show the court just caue for depriving meyer lansky of his civil rigts

When you lose your health, you lose something.

When you lose your character, you lose everything.

400 The ancestors of the Czechs and Slovaks wer first noted in recorded history in the 5th century when the ancient czech tribes settled in Bohemia and Moravia and when Slovak tribes settled in what was to become Slovakia. In the 9th century, the 2 peoples were united for the 1st time in the Great Moravian Empire.From the beginning of the 10th century and for almost a millenium the 2 peoples followed separate courses.

1403 The greatest moment of Czech self expression came with the Hussit movement in the 15th century. In 1403 the Czech reformist preacher Jan Hus challenged papal authority and precipitated a broadly based anti-German rebellion. For over 2 centures the Czech wer able to maintain political self rule which was expressed by the Bohemian estates.

(Compare to the Huttentites, the Utopian Communitarians who came to the United States.)

A TOUGH LEGION'S OUTLANDISH ODYSSEY

Of all the foreign units in Russia, none fouht longer, more effectively or with half so good a purpose as a force that was drawn into the conflict by accident. This was a leion of 42,000 Czechs, all former prisoners and deserters from the Austro-Hungarian army. Sponsored and paid by France, they had battled Germany along-side Russian armies on the Eastern Front. When Russia left the War, the Allies per-suaded the Bolsheviks to help ship the Czechs home. The Czechs were glad to go, but there was one problem. Since the hostile Central Powers barred the route west, the Czechs would have to cross 5,000 miles of Siberia, then sail from Vladivostok hack around to Western Europe.

The Czechs shrugged and shouldered arms, but even as they set off, the Bolshe-viks nervously tried to disarm them. That was a big mistake. The Czechs brushed aside the local Red force, seized a section of the Trans-Siberian railroad, complete with rolling stock, and headed down the track for Vladivoslok.

En route, the Legion entertained a few proposals--one from Winston Churchill-- to support White offensives. For a while, the Czechs even fought under a White r . But they never abandoned their real goal of ,cttin homc. As th Lion temed along, capturing weapons and armoring its train . The soldiers--and the wc.men many of them had picked up--lived in remodeled boxcars, which were nostalgically painted with Czech landscapes. Aboard the various commandeered trains were a rolling bank, a post office, the presses that printed a dai-ly Czech newspaper, and a looted Czarist treasure trove: 29 carloads of gold, silver platinum and gems.

Near the end of their journey, confront-ed by a formidable Red force, the Czechs offered up the treasure train and delivered Kolchak to a Red firing squad in return for clear track toVIadivostok. They got it

By Vintage books a division of Random House. When I read this book I think: Jeez, I am smarter than this guy! His theories are half baked. A worthless book. Political commentary passed off as science. Absolutely no theories prresented. Only merit: Mentioned a book called “Sociolbiolgy” written by E.O. Williams in 1970's.

Subject #7: Dream interpretation.

Van De Castle, Robert L., Our Dreaming Mind, Ballantine Books div of Random House, NY, 1994. Excellent thorough book.

Taylor, Jeremy, Where People Fly and Water Runs Uphill, 1992, Warner books. The certainty of the meaning of dreams come from the Aha! Recognition. Page 28 Mozart and Beethoven wrote music that they first heard in their dreams. I hear music in my dreasms. When you are dreaming that you are running, your brain is sending out the signals to run. But for the presence of neural inhibors present in REM sleep you would be running. Therefore we have a physiological basis for sleepwalking - the absence of neural inhibitors. These neural inhibitors are very unstable and disappear in microseconds but they are continually produced during Rem sleep. When the endocrine system malfunctions and continues to produce beyond terminatino of REM then we have sleep paralysis. SIDS is a variatio of sleep paralysis but it extends to Involuntary system and occurs primarily in premature babies where the distinction with Voluntarry is not yet made clear. He uses a light pen to record his dreams. He talks about false awakening - thinkint that you are awake. B-6 and b complex is a veritible dream pill. Very effective at stimulating dreasm. Did I not have my most strange dreams while eating stimulants. The B vitamins in crease dream recall as does LSD and other other “entheogens”. Marijuana and alcohol have the opposite effect; you don’t remember. People who have bad LSD trips had bad dreams before even trying LSD. Dream work is threatening to catholic dogma, to power, to political and economic rulers and therefore suppressed. There are many religious stories where god speaks to us in dreams. Gandhi solved his problem by a solution that came in a dream - have a hartal - a general strike to protest the Rowlett Acts which, after WWI were designed to keep India as it was during marshal law during the war. Page 215 The tibetan lucid dreaming posture is just the way I have been sleepig for years. /carlos Castenada says to condition oneself by a reminder of looking at the hands and remembering that I may see them next in a dream at which time I shall recall that this is merely a dream and havie some fun. This is the equivalent of the Christian “ejaculatory prayer”. Enlightenment looks like luck - says Alan Watts. Workig with dreams regularly increase “habitual intuition” which looks like luck. Carl Jung: “People learn from who we are, rather than from waht we say and to believe otherwise is a disease of the mind”. He was condemning in advance anyone who disagreed with him. Fuck him. J.E.
