JANUARY '99 MESSAGES



The Pre-Strike Notices. 

January 19, 1999 - the following pre-strike notice was an attachment to a fax sent to Attorney General Janet Reno and Secretary of Treasury Robert Rubin. 
 

-- NOTICE OF DEATH SENTENCE PROTEST --
 

I previously invoked your supervisory authority in a matter known as the PonyTail issue. 

Basically, it was a petition for redress of grievances relating to what, on the surface, is only UNLAWFUL suspensions from the practices of law. 

In fact, however, the UNLAWFUL suspensions are a death sentence. 

You have been advised that the minimum acceptable response is the simple declarative sentence: 

The suspension is unlawful.

At best, your response has been stonewalling. 

You are hereby given NOTICE that unless I receive such minimal relief, in protest of the unlawful suspension, the murderous treatment to which I have relentlessy been subjected since its imposition more than twenty years ago, and the callous, heartless indifference and conspiratorial non-feasance by those offices intended to protect the citizens of this country from such tyranny, I shall commence a hunger strike not later than noon on Monday, January 25th., 1999. 

I repeat, THIS IS NOT ABOUT AN UNLAWFUL SUSPENSION, IT IS ABOUT A DEATH SENTENCE. The hunger strike shall make it official.

-- NOTICE OF DEATH SENTENCE PROTEST --



 
  

January 19, 1999 - the NOTICE OF DEATH SENTENCE PROTEST was Concurrently sent to the Chief of Staff's office with cover sheet comments as follows: 

Accoompanying is a paper titled: NOTICE OF DEATH SENTENCE PROTEST which was sent moments ago to AG Reno and SoT Rubin. 

The sentiments of the paper apply at least equally to William Jefferson Clinton.

JANUARY 28, 1999 BODY SHUTDOWN COUNTDOWN DAY 4; STRESS KILLS


---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Rarely does stress directly, or instantly, kill you. However, stress is an important ingredient in almost every fatal and non-terminal illness. For example, chronic, unmanaged stress from work, school, financial problems, and illness itself compromises the proper functioning of disease-fighting white blood cells, which monitor abnormal cell development and marshal attacks against invading organisms. When the immune system is weak, this abnormal cell growth can occur with little to keep it in check. It is believed that some cancers result from this process. Constant stress produced by hostile feelings, anxiety, long hours, poor sleep, etc., contributes to cardiovascular disease by slowly creating fissures in arteries that carry blood to the heart. Over time, these ruts are filled in with cholesterol, which can build up to restrict, and even cut off, blood flow and harden (reduce elasticity) arteries. These conditions can lead to heart attacks and strokes.

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ -------------------- 
The evidence unequivocally evinces a plan designed, calculated and intended to sytematically, methodically subject the victim to conditions which maximize stress and deprive him of any and all stimuli which would reduce stress. The PonyTail HUNGER-STRIKE FOR JUSTICE merely accelerates that which is otherwise inevitable.

FEBRUARY 1, 1999 HUNGER STRIKE DAY 8/1; SHUTDOWN COMMENCEMENT/O_ME  
 

I trust you agree that once body shutdown has commenced during the course of a voluntary hunger strike, the person engaged in the strike has placed their life in significant danger, particularly when the individual is going on the 60th year. 

Is it too much for such a person to ask the remainder of the society to carefully consider the reasons why the person is taking that risk?

OWE ME - A VICTIM'S PERSPECTIVE

I repeat, the emotional beating to which I have been subjected is the full equivalent of the physical beating which formed the basis for the California Federal Civil rights action. 

In case you overlooked it before, the simple, four word declaratory sentence:

The suspension is unlawful.
 
should obviate the need for continuation of the hunger strike. 

I also repeat, never once, not ever, in the twenty plus years of attempts to rectify this injustice has anyone ever said the suspension was lawful. 

You suggested the material had reached a magnitude which was more than you could comfortably handle so I include a copy of the order which DISMISSED the Rule 35 Motion for a Mental Examination (thereby withdrawing my mental state from issue) and repeat information here which will enable you to obtain any other document you feel you might need for a thorough evaluation/investigation of the matter: 

MINNESOTA SUPREME COURT ID: No. 401 In the Matter of the Application for the Discipline of KEITH B. DAVIS, an Attorney at Law of the State of Minnesota. 
Filed February 10, 1978 
Case # 47630  

ANY THOROUGH EVALUATION/INVESTIGATION OF THE MATTER MUST RECONCILE MY WILLINGNESS TO TAKE A MENTAL EXAMINATION SUBJECT ONLY TO THE TWO CONDITIONS THAT A MEDICAL EXPERT OF MY CHOOSING BE PRESENT AT THE EXAMINATION, PAID FOR BY THEM, AND THAT I BE PAID FOR MY TIME, THAT POSITION MUST BE RECONCILED WITH THE STATEMENT IN THE OPINION THAT THERE WAS "NO EVIDENCE" I WAS "DISPOSED TO SUBMIT TO PSYCHIATRIC OR "OTHER MEDICAL TREATMENT". Judges can blithely ignore pre-trial proceedings? If the problem, in fact, is psychiatric, who would be goofy enough to seek "other medical treatment". What do you suppose their reaction would have been had I got "other medical treatment", came back to them with a receipt for payment of the Dr's bill, and told them that the Dr swears I am 100% free of medical problems. That would have been dealing with them on their own level. The decision is unlawful on its face. Additionally, I defy you to find any training manual for newly appointed judges in which the so-called opinion meets at least 50% of the manual's essential requirements for a true opinion.) 

You appeared to reject out of hand the notion that a fascist agenda existed in the United States. 

Do not master race, uber alles, euthanasia mean ELITISM? 
 
 

JUDGES DON'T HAVE TO MAKE SENSE

It is equally apparent that he suffers from severe emotional instability which seriously impairs his professional judgment. Without the benefit of competent medical testimony neither the referee nor this court is qualified to arrive at a diagnosis or prognosis concerning the respondent's mental health. ... suspended ... petition for reinstatement ... entertained ... provide substantial evidence ... overcome ... PSYCHIATRIC problems. It is so ordered. 
 
 
 
PHYSICIANS DON'T HAVE TO MAKE SENSE

As per my fax of last week, yesterday I sought counselling re how to minimize the health risks incident to a HUNGER-STRIKE FOR JUSTICE which I had commenced earlier that day.  

Specifically, I asked for information regarding use of electrolytes (my recollection is that Mitch Snyder used them during his SUCCESSFUL hunger strike during the 80's), re use of supplements such as potassium to maximize mental acuity, and re pain medication.  

Dr. ___ denied the requested counselling after apparently conferring with Dr. ___. The stated reason for the denial was the Hippocratic Oath.  

I advised Dr. ___ that the denial was illogical. To elaborate, were a hunger strike necessarily fatal, then denial would possibly be required by the oath.  

Because a hunger strike undertaken as an act of civil disobedience has as its object correction of some injustice, correction of the justice shall stop the strike. Accordingly, denial of counselling is not only illogical, but, in fact, a VIOLATION of the Hippocratic Oath.  

Ok, I get it, some people of this society can do anything they want, for any reason they want. They just say something and, by definition, that's the way it is. The ELITE of this society don't have to make any sense.  

Does this not make this an ELITIST society? And, if this is an elitist society is this not a FASCIST society!!!!!!  

Of course only a lunatic would think, let alone come right out and say, that judges and physicians ever, shall we say, "network" at gatherings, oh let's say at country clubs. Some of the finest country clubs in this country. As a matter of fact, country clubs with members who are the wealthiest members of this society. Put this all together and what do you have. Would you deny there are plenty of poor people rotting in jail on a lot looser theories than this?  

If that was not concert of action, why did the physicians default directly to a denial of medical care?  

I defy you to find anything whatsoever in the so-called opinion which suspends me from the practice of law which comes remotely close to supporting the conclusion of "psychiatric" problems, as the above does to making the case for this being a fascist society.  

Oh yes, when I called and left the message, there were a number of items on the agenda, and one of them is that there seem to be obstructions on the net to sources which might provide me with help, for example, a professor of logic.  

I was pro se in those proceedings. Do you suppose any of those rocket scientist judges, hell bent on silencing me, had any duty to see that I had competent representation, be the proceedings civil or criminal? Do you suppose they were COMPETENT enough to know that? Even in Perry Mason or LA Law they would have adjourned the proceedings and appointed counsel to represent the accused, and the proceedings are quasi criminal. Why the rush? Maybe there was a magic bullet for this horrible affliction. Do we paint someone as having psychiatric problems more casually than we dispose of traffic ticket issues? Incidentally, I know what the rush was.  

The relevance of this may not be immediately apparent, but it is, so let me share with you my "crazy" view of our "representative" form of government in which the representatives are selected by an "election" process.  

To be sure, it is superior to the government of a syphilitic, tyrant king, or any tyrant king, for that matter. It is not, however, the gag me with a spoon, nauseating panacea of standard USA political rhetoric. It is deeply flawed. I genuinely believe it has this society on a course of self destruction which can only be avoided by a Constitutional amendment.  

This is not a rant, though it may at first appear to be so please bear with me.  

Is not our form of government essentially two groups of bums and bumettes, one called the Democrats and the other called the Republicans. At any point in time, one of the groups is in power. They remain in power until the public gets so fed up with them that they throw them out of power, at which time the other group of bums and bumettes necessarily acquires power by default.  

At this point in history, we lack the specter of a tyrant king to ennoble our elected representatives to rise above the temptations of selfish interests and we barely lack a remembrance of the sacrifices made by so many in the conflicts in which this society has engaged.  

There is a solution, the same solution we have used when it was time for some dying to be done. Select our representatives by drafting them. Establish a pool of qualified candidates and select representatives by drafting them.  

I have been advocating this theory for some time, on some occasions using a lottery selection metaphor. (I have increasingly become enamored with the notion of a society walking up to an individual and saying, ok buster/busterette, get your affairs in order, you are going into training and you may be spending the next 4, 6, 8 years doing something else. I really like the notion of that. A lot.) In all events, the point is that the theory is not merely an argument to serve an immediate need.  

This is the voice which "they" seek to silence. And I ask you, in the society which worships at the altar of the bull market, is there any more effective way of silencing one than to deny him the right to practice his chosen profession and to preclude him from gaining any other meaningful employment by fabricating a phantom "psychiatric" illness? Particularly when the specificity, to take obscene liberties with that word, was "UNSTABLE". No medical/psychiatric person has been able to tell me what that condition is. And, we all appreciate, don't we, that if one was checked on one day and found ok, well, he just might not be right the next day and who would want to take a chance entrusting their legal work to that kind of lawyer. And who would want to entrust ... Almost a designer illness isn't it. Suits every need the fascists had. Both the immediate and long term. Til death as a matter of fact. And that is exactly and precisely what the intended effect of their action was.  

The material you have received states categorically that I am not attempting suicide. I repeat, I am not attempting suicide. I am merely accelerating, in a desperate attempt to stay alive, that which is otherwise inevitable.  

I repeat that the emotional beating to which I have been subjected is the full equivalent of the physical beating which formed the basis for the California Federal Civil rights action. "They" have totally IMMERSED me in STRESS INDUCING stimuli and, conversely, have systematically and methodically DEPRIVED me of every STRESS ELIMINATING stimuli they possibly could in order to maximize the effect. For more than twenty years. I have a leg up on 59 years of age.  

It can not be emphasized enough, the simple, four word declaratory sentence:
 

The suspension is unlawful.

should obviate the need for continuation of the hunger strike.  

Doesn't it just seem to make sense that in the twenty plus years of attempts to rectify this injustice, if there were any merit whatsoever to the suspension that one of the hundreds of rocket scientist quality legal minds to which this issue has been presented, all eminently qualified and, of course, unquestionably competent, that maybe one of them would have included a succinct statement that the suspension was indeed lawful? It was a chance to show off their skills and prowess with the english language, so important to jurisprudence in a sophisticated society, by crafting a few reasons, that even a competently challenged person such as myself could understand, as to why the two sentences which say opposite things actually support each other?  

Maybe I've been watching too much Andy Rooney. Andy, where the hell are you when one really needs you?  

If anyone honestly believed that the suspensions are lawful I could accept that as an appropriate disposition of the case as to them, provided only that they put it in writing with supporting reasons. Is that too much to ask of this society?  

I hear words now occasionally most likely intended as a precursor to my confinement on the basis of "danger to himself or danger to the public" laws. Are we to have a further overt act the sole purpose of which is to silence my voice? In a society which boasts of free speech yet. Let's try to remember, what was it we said the Soviets did to their dissidents? Called them lunatics and confined them, as I recall. Made out that this was really a very horrible thing to do. Human rights violations, as I recall. But of course there is no such thing in the US of A. By definition, there is no such thing.  
  

With resolve,

FEBRUARY 2, 1999 HUNGER STRIKE DAY 9/2; PLEASE 
 

Please, please, please think long and hard and objectively about yesterday's message. 

Freed of the lunacy of Hitler, fascism is alive and kicking, more subtle, and thus more dangerous. 

Has anyone really seriously examined the question of whether or not WORLD FASCISM, in all its insiduous forms, is the most serious problem on this planet today?

FEBRUARY 3, 1999 HUNGER STRIKE DAY 10/3; OFFICIAL USA JUSTICE 
 

"Without the benefit of competent medical testimony neither the referee nor this court is qualified to arrive at a diagnosis or prognosis ... petition for reinstatement ... entertained ... provide substantial evidence ... overcome ... psychiatric problems." (Bad enough as it is, but remember, a Rule 35 Motion for Mental examination was DENIED in pre-trial.) 
 

IT IS OFFICIAL USA JUSTICE TO SAY SOMETHING CAN NOT BE DONE, AND THEN TO PROCEED AS THOUGH IT HAD IN FACT BEEN DONE! 

IT IS OFFICIAL USA JUSTICE TO WITHDRAW A MATTER FROM ISSUE AND THEN BASE THE DECISION SOLELY ON THAT MATTER! 

All three branches of government have in effect signed off on this. A system of checks and balances? 

Due process? Equal protection of the law? The law is an instrument of tyranny! The issue has been on Attorney General Reno's desk, the desk of the Secretary of Treasury, and in the President's Chief of Staff's office for more than two years. 

What is the difference between this and third world justice?

FEBRUARY 4, 1999 HUNGER STRIKE DAY 11/4; RESPONSE COMMENTARY 
 

Today's message shall address a response to yesterday's mailing. The response consisted of the following two sentences:
 

"Enough tyranny!! Employ common sense justice!"

Enough tyranny, indeed. Any tyranny is too much tyranny. 

Are not KKK and vigilante justice each species of the genus "common sense"? Unfortunately, the species homo sapien does not come equipped with a standard measure for common sense. At a minimum, the second sentence is thus ambiguous. 

Reasoned justice, the justice of logic instead? Or, simply Constitutional justice. 

Incidentally, many years ago in response to my request a professor of logic prepared an affidavit for me stating the so-called opinion was a "fallacy".

FEBRUARY 5, 1999 HUNGER STRIKE DAY 12/5; MOMENT OF SHAME 
 

Let me share with you part of a conversation which I had with my oldest son last night. 

I told him of a moment of shame in the tiny little community of my youth. With a few remarkable exceptions, my youth was idyllic, in a very large part because of the quality of life provided by that tiny little town, the proverbial Norman Rockwell Americana. They were wonderful people. They did have their moment of shame. 

We only had four teachers in our high school. (Three had their masters degree during my matriculation, during my Sr./Jr.-Sr.(?) yr. one was a retired president of a small college.) When I was quite young, one was a very attractive young woman, it probably was her first job out of college. Young boys are pretty keen on attractive women. She married during the summer following her first year of teaching in our school, and she and her new husband returned for the following school year, he also as one of the four high school teachers. 

Some of you may have never heard of a "shivaree". I was too young to know absolutely, but am virtually positive they were quite common in the area. 

In any event, the next day we were short two high school teachers.  

Not a few of the participants in the shivaree were then, and continue to be, my heroes, WWII veterans. It is a virtual certainty that virtually, if not literally, all the participants were liquored up to one degree or another.  

It truly was a moment of shame for that tiny little community. We youngsters felt it keenly.  

Is not the PonyTail incident a USA moment of shame?  

You have a say as to how great that moment of shame shall be.  

You have a say as to whether or not a reminder of that shame shall be created outside the borders of this country. A provision in my will reads:  
 

 
"Under NO circumstances am I to be buried on United States soil unless the mass media, at least 14 calendar days prior to my death, has reported an unequivocal repudiation* from the practice of general law in the State of Minnesota and the practice of patent law before the US Patent and Trademark Office**.

*   of my UNLAWFUL suspensions
**   and provided I have acknowledged said repudiations in writing

For the benefit of anyone joining this "thread" mid-way, the UNLAWFUL suspensions, as made manifestly clear by the messages which preceded this one, are the proverbial one lied, the other swore to it.  

The will is handwritten and was written while riding on the metro in April of 1993 at a time of particular concern about my well being. I have continued to be in roughly monthly contact with the two persons who witnessed the will. I say this to refute any challenge to the will. (It is a duly executed Virginia "self- proving" will for those who picked up on the "metro hand writing" issue.)  

In the spring of 1993 I initiated efforts to make burial arrangements in Canada. By the spring of '97 I had made the last payment on a burial plot and received a deed for plot number 117, Block D, Section 46 in the Brandon Municipal Cemetery (Manitoba, Canada). I own that plot free and clear.  

Whether it is used is subject to the above caveat. You have more to say about whether it is used, and when it might be used, than I do - the reality of this is that it is a protest of a death sentence.  

How great, and perpetual, shall this USA moment of shame be?  

The problem is not the messenger.

FEBRUARY 8, 1999 HUNGER STRIKE DAY 15/8; SPOTLIGHT FOR JESSE  
  

I know Jesse Ventura loves to be in the limelight. Jesse, I have accommodated you.  

First a little background. When Jesse was elected governor, I immediately supported him, there was neither snickers nor condescension from the PonyTail. My congratulatory email included words to the effect he was embarking on an historic voyage, and concluded with "Godspeed Jesse Ventura!". This sentiment was as heartfelt as heartfelt can be.  

The email also urged him to make the PonyTail issue a transition issue, to divorce himself from the issue. It was created by the Minnesota "establishment" repudiation of which, it would seem, was the theme of his campaign.  

Thus my posting of the following throughout Minnesota and the nation:  

GOVERNOR VENTURA:  

As you may or may not be aware, I emailed you a congratulatory message which concluded "God Speed Jesse Ventura", subsequently presented to you by both email and fax a transition issue, and have emailed you ab initio all notices relating to the PonyTail HUNGER-STRIKE FOR JUSTICE, a protest of what is nothing less than a death sentence imposed upon me by the supreme court of minnesota (lack of capitalization deliberately omitted).  

If you have, in fact, received these materials you are a co-conspirator in a conspiracy to commit murder.  

If you have not received them, please contact me immediately - I am 14 days into the hunger strike which means I am about 7 days into BODY SHUTDOWN.  

Today's daily mailing, sent to you and a significant number of others, immediately follows and includes information for contacting me.  
 

-- redundant material omitted --

A very public personal note to Jesse: February 10, 1999 would be the 21st. anniversary of this travesty. It would be very comforting not to have to experience that. The "simple four word declaratory sentence" should end those anniversaries forever.

FEBRUARY 9, 1999 HUNGER STRIKE DAY 16/9; JESSE'S RESPONSE? - GULAG AMERICAN STYLE? 
 

It is about a 98.8% certainty moves are afoot to silence me by confining me. My brother called me and said my two sons (who both live in Minnesota) had called him and said they were concerned about me and had reached the Fairfax something or other, in this instance, the confinement people. Would I go in and see a Dr. Yardley? I said no, but I would be happy to speak with the Dr. by telephone. My brother responded I don't know if that would be "acceptable". To which I responded: Aceptable?????????? In any event, he checked and called back and gave me the Dr.'s number, a number for Dr. Yardley, a MS. Yardley it turned out. She asked me how I was, and I said something to the effect that all things considered I was very good and we both laughed. Early in the conversation I told her I had been unlawfully suspended from the practice of law and was in the 16th. day of a hunger strike for the purpose of putting an end to 20 plus years of victimization. Ultimately she asked me if I wanted to talk to her, and I said yes, I was always looking for people to tell my story to, and that there were medical issues on which she could provide me help. This unequivocally flustered her, rather, something absolutely flustered her at this exact point and thus the 98.8 certainty this had been a cooked procedure. I told her I would fax her a couple of documents and we agreed she would call me back. I made the call to her at approximately 10:26. It lasted 3-4 minutes, bringing us to 10:29-10:30. Faxing of the documents was completed in 5-10 minutes, ergo 10:34-10:40. Dr. Yardley has not called back yet. I finished writing this at 11:55, further evidence ...  

This is not paranoia. It would be stupid for one in my position not be aware of the possibilities such as this, indeed, it would be sick not to.  

Is it just a coincidence this comes a day after posting the "SPOTLIGHT FOR JESSE" and its related mailing on 50 to 100 Switchboard.com Town Boards?  

Freedom of speech? Come let us reason? Is this Jesse's response?

Those who are in control. 

Elected officials, of course, are not necessarily those who are in control. 

Jesse, do you have a significant degree of control? 

Or, are you just a figure head? Was that election another monumental canard during the last year of the 21st. millenium? 

Has a wall been erected between you and me? If so, was it erected for your convenience? Or, are we seeing inherent limitations of third party candidates who lack an independent support infrastructure and must, therefore, rely upon experienced people from the establishment parties for whom protection of the past is a major agenda?

FEBRUARY 12, 1999 HUNGER STRIKE DAY 19/12; DEMOGRAPHICS  
 

One of my businesses is named Demographics Associates. 

Demographics. Numbers basically. Numbers which give meaning to that to which they relate.  

There are numbers which I am curious about, and which I shall probably never know. Important numbers. They relate to this society. As the most powerful society on this planet, critically important numbers to every person on this planet it would seem. 

Justice has not been done. 

The numbers I am curious about are those which relate to how the people of this society care about justice not having been done. 

Some people are ecstatic that justice has not been done. The extremes of the spectrum of this group are the perpetrators and the enemies of this society. Actually, are they not one and the same. Destroyers of this society is thy name. 

Other people don't care whether or not justice has been done. Apathy is thy name. 

Another group of people would truly like to see justice be done. Silent is thy name. 

And lastly, some are unable to understand whether or not justice has been done. Vulnerable is thy name. 

The destroyers of this society shall raucously celebrate the silence, when this voice can no longer speak. 

Even if the silence is deafening you would not know it by the actions of the apathetic, for they are a universe unto themselves, and act only unto themselves, even if the silence is deafening when this voice can no longer speak. 

The silent group shall be annoyed and aggravated when this voice can no longer speak, they still having some conscience and the silence shall thunder to them as a reminder of that which was left undone, when this voice can no longer speak. 

And the vulnerable will not even hear the silence, and they shall be the most needing of all to hear this voice, when this voice can no longer speak. 

And for that group of 1, how shall he be judged because he refused, was too busy, was unable to write these words in the third person, when this voice can no longer speak? 

Demographics. What are these numbers? By those numbers shall this society be judged. 

Justice has not been done. Preposterous is thy name that says justice has been done.

Please do not do anything which would take away the biggest weapon I have in this war. In a hunger strike, that weapon is the possibility of death. 

The perpetrators already have gone past the point of no return as conspiring to commit murder, attempted murder. And if this thing does play its way out, at least in a just and democratic society, it would be murder 1. That's the biggest weapon I have. Please do not do anything that would take it away from me. 

You children have a cloud over your heads. Were I to die from natural causes, at a minimum it would always be lurking below the horizon from whence the perpetrators could summon it should it be either necessary or indeed, should they merely arbitrarily choose to do so. As sick as they are, the latter is a distinct and perhaps even likely possibility. 

I truly have no life. Saving my life at this time is to throw cold water on me to revive me for more abuse. The last 20 plus years, have been years of oppression, suppression and exploitation. 

Doing this at this time is doing it while you are still young enough to start a truly new life. It will give you closure. It is the most effective way to remove that cloud from over you children's head.

FEBRUARY 16, 1999 HUNGER STRIKE DAY 23/16; CATHARTIC


Does this not have the potential to be cathartic?

Indeed, immensely cathartic.

Is this not in many ways an opportunity for this nation to wipe the slate clean and start a new life?

Does not bureaucratic malvolence serve only to diminish that possibility, perhaps even destroy "national credibility", create a national slate which can not be wiped clean for decades?

Under these circumstances is not delay alone malvolence per se?

FEBRUARY 18, 1999 HUNGER STRIKE DAY 25/18; STRESS KILLS REVISITED


-- from an email to psychosomatic medicine specialists --

I have been systematically, calculatedly and methodically deprived of all positive stimuli and concurrently totally immersed in negative stimuli, been given a virtual death sentence. 

Notwithstanding your female specific specialty, you are queried as a species of the genus of an article linked to a Third Age Long Life Newsletter which may be of help to me, to wit:

Writing in the journal Psychosomatic Medicine, Swedish investigators who studied 300 women aged 30 to 65 years say a key factor is heart rate variability, or how that organ deals with given instances of stress. Women who tend to be isolated socially or forced to suppress anger tend to have a lower HRV and may be at risk of developing atherosclerosis and other heart ailments.

It is noted that the study was restricted to females. I am a male, and have been trained in science (BSEE '61, SDSM&T) and know that risk in females does not necessarily mean risk in males. Your views please as to how likely it is that this applies equally to men. 

The matter is critically important to me. 

Today is the 25th day of a hunger strike in protest of a virtual death sentence. You should be able to get the essential particulars from one or the other of the following URLs (they have been enclosed in quotation marks for two reasons discussed below): 

"http://www.pi4c.com.easyhost.com/" 

"http://www.pi4c.com" 

The reasons for enclosing the URLs in quotation marks are: 1) some message posting software packages (SMPSPs) may go ballistic upon detecting eiter URLs per se or these particular URLs; 2) SMPSPs may treat a URL with quotes as a link. 

Other explanatory material is posted on the Switchboard.com Town Messenger Board for Columbia, SD. 

I repeat, I have been systematically, calculatedly and methodically deprived of all positive stimuli and concurrently totally immersed in negative stimuli, been given a virtual death sentence. 

Any help you can provide would be greatly appreciated.

FEBRUARY 24, 1999 HUNGER STRIKE DAY 31/24; TREASURY


TREASURY

Perhaps some have wondered about the prominent role played in this matter by the Treasury Department, they are on the same level as the Justice Department and the Executive Branch of overnment. 

The suspensions are UNLAWFUL. A loss for the UNLAWFUL destruction of my law practices was claimed on my income tax return. The IRS disallowed the deduction and ultimately the matter wound up in the Tax Court. 

During the pre-trial conference (and we already know all about pre-trial matters don't we, thanks to the pre-trial withdrawal of all mental issues), during the tax pre-trial conference IRS counsel when asked admitted the suspensions were unlawful, to which I responded that we should then so stipulate. Such stipulations are the essence of pre- trial reduction of issues to only those in dispute. IRS counsel refused to so stipulate. That is when I knew just how much trouble I was in. Such refusal is a violation of the cannons of ethics and would never be done unless the counsel knew he was backed up virtually if not literally all the way to the top. 

Ultimately this led to giving the IRS notice that I would no longer file a tax return, and in fact not filing a return for the last 10 years or so. Relief has been sought from each of the various Secretaries of Treasury since I arrived in the DC area in the mid 80's, noting that I did not file a tax return. 

In law school, I got all A's on my tax courses. I know that a refusal to file is ordinarily automatically free room and board. The IRS regularly advises me they have quarters reserved for me which they think I should occupy. My response has been that until they do their whole job, specifically until they allow the deduction which by law they are required to do, until that time, they are nothing but vigilantes and should they attempt to exercise any control whatsoever over my person or property that is exactly how they shall be treated. 

Note that there is an absolute right to a deduction per se. The amount of the deduction is, of course, subjective. The tax-issue is the absolute right to a deduction. If the IRS refuses to acknowledge a right to a deduction, they are selectively administering the tax laws. 

My refusal to file is an act of civil disobedience in a society which literally came into existence as a result of civil disobedience. 

The IRS has operated as an instrument of tyranny for approximately the last twenty years by repeatedly levying on my wages. 

In doing so, the IRS has been a co-conspirator in a conspiracy to commit murder. 

That conspiracy has included individual specific overt attempts, but also includes physiological and psychological assaults the normal and logical cumulative effect of which would be death by attrition and debilitation. 

The issue is directly on the desk of the Secretary of Treasury, presently Robert Rubin. The supervisory authority of the SoT was invoked. Supervisory authority is non delegable. The issue is directly on the desk of the Secretary of Treasury.

FEBRUARY 25, 1999 HUNGER STRIKE DAY 32/25; INTERMEDIARY 
 

Jesse Ventura was the "REFORM" party candidate for Governor of the state of minnes ota. My problem was created by the establishment of minnesota. It is clear there is no ear in minnesota to hear my message. It is not known whether Jesse has put in ear plugs, or whether a wall has been erected between us by establishment types seeking to protect their own selfish interests. Anyone reading this message please serve as an intermediary for assuring he is personally aware of the issue, either by contacting me directly or visiting either the pi4c website or one of the numerous Switchboard.com Town Message Board websites at which numerous messages re the issue have been posted, including those for St. Paul and Minneapolis. The issue is increasingly life threatening as per the stats below.

FEBRUARY 26, 1999 HUNGER STRIKE DAY 33/26; INTERMEDIARY II


NOTE: THIS SITE HAS BEEN "SABOTAGED" ON NUMEROUS OCCASIONS. I DO NOT HAVE THE RESOURCES NECESSARY TO POLICE THE SITE ADEQUATELY. THIS IS NOT TO SAY THAT THE SITE WAS ERROR FREE, THERE ADMITTEDLY HAVE BEEN ERRORS, ZITS, WHATEVER. HOWEVER, THERE HAVE ALSO BEEN NUMEROUS INSTANCES IN WHICH MATERIAL HAS BEEN MODIFIED AND EVEN TOTALLY REMOVED FROM THE SITE BY A PARTY OR PARTIES UNKNOWN. THE MESSAGE FOR THIS DATE IS AN EXAMPLE OF ALL OF THE ABOVE. IT REFERRED TO A MESSAGE WHICH SIMPLY DISAPPEARED (THE PLOT TO OVERTHROW FDR). THAT SUBJECT MATTER WAS SUBSEQUENTLY RE-POSTED AS THE DAILY MESSAGE FOR MARCH 1. ACCORDINGLY, REFERENCES TO THE INCIDENT HAVE NOW BEEN DELETED FROM THIS MESSAGE; SUFFICE IT TO SAY HERE THAT THE PLOT SHOWED AN ALARMING DEGREE OF ELITISM IN THIS SOCIETY.

INTERMEDIARY II


Those who have been with this thread ab initio may recall the Day 8/1 definition of fascism:

Do not master race, uber alles, euthanasia mean ELITISM?


--  lengthy discussion showing USA elitism omitted as redundant  --

... if this is an elitist society is this not a FASCISTsociety!!!!!!

--  numerous other messages deal with "selectiveness" issues, another species of elitism  --


With that background, and the several times messages have been expressly dedicated to the wall-erected-between/Jesse-stonewalling issue [Day data to be inserted here when time permits], consider the following position paper type of statement on the internet, page URL: http://jesseventura.org/internet/howuse.htm

How I Will Use The Internet



by Jesse Ventura

December 28, 1998

In our 1998 campaign, we used the Internet in a number of important ways. As Governor,  I'll continue to use it. Specifically, I will use the Internet to:

[uno #1 immaterial]

Put citizens on equal footing with lobbyists.

[uno #3 immaterial]

[discussion of uno #1 immaterial]

Put citizens on equal footing with lobbyists.


Professional lobbyists have three things ordinary citizens don't have: 1) money to buy influence, 2) easy access to inside information, and 3) easy access to public officials. ... I want to use the Internet to make the tools of democracy more available to ordinary citizens. [We're ok up to this point] ... When we SEEK [emphasis added] your topic-specific [had Jesse already decided the voice of at least one particular citizen was not to be heard] input in this way, you can use the Internet to pipe your comments straight into our hands. While you won't be physically present in our offices, the input you offer in response to our requests will receive our personal attention and be fully considered as we make our decisions.  ... Mobilize citizens to help Mae Schunk and me achieve the government reforms WE SAID WE [emphasis added] would [But certainly he didn't mean to the exclusion of other needs of citizens. And absolutely, he could not have designed this statement to totally exclude input from particular citizens, to only selectively receive citizen input. To do that would be an elitist, wouldn't it Jesse!] This can be summed up in one word: JesseNet.


Jesse has been sent roughly 40 emails re the conditions which imperil my life. Conditions created by minnesota elitists.

There has not been one single PERSONAL contact in response to those roughly 40 emails. Neither by email, nor by snail mail, nor by fax, nor by telephone. Zero, none, not any. There has been nothing other than standard form responses. The matter is life threatening. Increasingly life threatening.

Shortly after Jesse was elected, I noted a posting on a board in Minnesota attacking Jesse. I posted a response in essence saying the writer was complaining because Jesse was not displaying the characteristics of the establishment types they had expressly repudiated when they elected Jesse and had already turned on Jesse because he was not, in essence, "political". That's a lot of essence, but it also included a statement thanking God that Jesse would never be an oily politician, that Jesse could contribute a lot by just being Jesse and he knew best how to do that.

I am not a Jesse basher. 

I have to challenge the above position type statement.

Do Jesse's policies apply equally to ALL citizens? Are they applied selectively? Was the posting an oily politician canard? (This word shall take on new meaning in a subsequent message(s).) Jesse has been sent roughly 40 emails re the conditions which imperil my life. Conditions created by minn esota elitists. 

There has not been one single PERSONAL contact in response to those roughly 40 emails. Neither by email, nor by snail mail, nor by fax, nor by telephone. Zero, none, not any. Unless, of course, the numerous negative issue related improbale incidents, and there have been a lot of them, including electronic dirty tricks (EDTs). The matter is life threatening. Increasingly life threatening. 

Will the real Jesse please stand up.

Yesterday's call for an INTERMEDIARY is repeated.
