Reflections on Coretta Scott King

 


On Coretta Scott King


The recent death of Coretta Scott King brings reflection on what most would consider a stellar career in human rights. Before my present ordeal which began in 1986 and became full blown in 1987 I hitchhiked nationwide ill begotten attempting to apply Christian doctrine to “shake the dust of your boots” to inhospitable locations.

This left me off the freeway in Memphis near the motel where Doctor Martin Luther King was assassinated. It was panted a very psychedelic cool lavender. The motel was probably no more than $30 to 40 per night. I had only less than a dollar and was living of apple pies at gas stations.

During the last years of Ronald Reagan when such was campaigning for George H.W. Bush and this Orwellian nightmare had begun I hitchhiked from Santa Monica to Houston to protest Ronald Reagan’s fundraising there. The ACTUP Aids activists were to my right and oil workers were to my left and we awaited the arrival of the President.

During this time or slightly thereafter one of the Hunt brothers and wife landed by helicopter behind us. He came and spoke to me for a few seconds wife in fur and he I believe a tan or light suit, almost Rockefeller Republican.

President Reagan was not amused at the protestors and swiftly debarked from his limousine. He waved his hand fast and I only saw his back.

Later that night while I slept someone attempted to set me on fire. I was sleeping under a small blue tarp and it melted without burning me. I did not press charges. I should have kept the tarp!

Regardless of all this, I decided to hitchhike to Atlanta. It was somewhat cold there unlike Houston. I wanted to attend the Second Martin Luther King Parade. Jesse Jackson was going to be there. I lined up early for the parade and people let me have the best spot right across where The King family and other dignitaries would observe.

Jesse Jackson, Coretta Scott King and family plus Andrew Young were present. Jesse Jackson gave me a very exuberant Miss America wave. Coretta Scott King was someone subdued as there was buzz that she should yield power to her son.

DIRECT ACTION was one of the cornerstones of King’s civil disobedience. This event demonstrates that one has to fend for one’s self in a dignified way. For all of the wisdom and endurance of her husband no off this has been applied to my condition.

Regardless – GOD BLESS CORETTA SCOTT KING!

Archetypes in State Planning and Social Wrecking

Image
First I would like to extend my prayers to all those affected by 9-11 and the present syndrome of hurricanes. The creation and use of archetypes or first patterns is prevalent throughout the present entrapment and scorched earth. It is more than likely that 9-11 has also been affected by antecedent events placed by de facto state planners. Here we are dealing with no more than real prisoner’s dilemma as would normally be used to explain conflicts as in defection to NATO or old Warsaw Pact interests. The concept of eugenics and lifespan development are synthesized in three western folk stories which have some basis in real history. The Wizard of OZ, The Pied Piper of Hamelin, and the Children’s Crusade are used to in some degrees as a hue in the trajectory of the unrecognized Scorched earth. Unfortunately in this event the Wizard has no brain himself. If one believes that there is No Place like home, red shoes or any other defection imposed by a third party power is unlikely to a...

Big Brother is Watching You!!!

Bill Clinton takes the stage tonight in Denver, Colorado in what may be his last major speech as a Democrat. Will he pass the mantle to Barack Obama and Joseph Biden? What history should watch for is his lack of contrition for being a Stonewall Jackson in obstructing justice for the eight years of his term and the transpiring course of President Bush.  The escalation of the Orwellian Scorched Earth keeps Clinton less culpable than the reigning president. The next head of state is going to be worse due to the operation code named Radhanatha that began only the Colorado River on February 12, 2007. All surface waster as lakes and rivers in my vicinity are contaminated. What is the status of Salt Lake Utah. I am in Westwood, California and this is Exxon Valdez - Love Canal Territory.  Come on Bloggers!  Joseph Biden’s resume on foreign policy won’t help as the event explodes from LAPD to the State of Delaware on June17, 1987. His son Beau is now Attorney General for D...

Country First?

The Republican Convention has been quite subdued. Only the nomination of Sarah Palin has caused a stir. It remains to be seen what type of agenda John McCain will specify at his acceptance speech. President Bush appeared only by streaming video. Two tropical storms and Hurricane Ike, a category 4 storm are expected to reach land in the next days to weeks.  I have made many complaints against John McCain and other Arizona officials, many while present in the state. Sarah Palin is an open question. Here candidacy delivers her to the profile of young, under 50 years of age competent authorities most likely to face criminal prosecution for de facto and negligent behavior during a scorched earth event.  It is hard to believe, but true, that the human being will condone such fraudulent behavior.  This alone is one of the lessons the human race and the United States in particular will learn as the future pays the cost for the pasts mistakes.  Charles Oberley, past attor...
