King’s World Class Ransom!

 

In the cold courts of justice, the dull head demands oaths, and holy writ proofs; but in the warm halls of the heart one single, untestified memory’s spark shall suffice to enkindle such a blaze of evidence, that all the corners of conviction are as suddenly lighted up as a midnight city by a burning building, which on every side whirls its reddened brands. Violent crime in Sacramento is up by as much as 40 percent, and as Mayor Kevin Johnson meets with the Sacramento Police Depart to figure out why, many people are pointing fingers at him. As you know, Mayor Kevin Johnson is one of the most corrupt politicians the city of Sacramento has ever seen. Not only is the Mayor suing the city of Sacramento, the Sacramento News and Review, using tax payer funds to conduct private business, bankrupted the National Conference of Black Mayors, has been using city email accounts for private business, has private employees parading around as public employee, embezzled money from a character school, sexually assaulted a city employee, and now that a credible case about Mayor Kevin Johnson molesting a minor have come forth, ESPN has decided to postpone a film called “Down in the Valley,” which is about Mayor Kevin Johnson saving the Sacramento King’s basketball team.

 Mayor Kevin Johnson is one of the Key characters in the film, and along with director Jason Hehir, ESPN will reexamine the presentation and content. The Presentation for “Down in the Valley” will still happen at the Crest Theatre on K Street, in Sacramento, California, and in may or may not be hosted by the Sacramento King’s as planned. However, the film could change before it is released to a national audience to include the sexually molestation charges against Kevin Johnson. Charges where never filed by prosecutors in the case against Kevin Johnson molesting the teen because he and the teenager and Kevin Johnson entered into a $230,000.00 settlement in 1997, which included a payment to the teen, therapy, and a payment to the teen’s mother. The film has been delayed by vice president and executive producer of ESPN, John Dahl, and director Jason Hehir because they want to make it clear to the public that they “are not tone deaf and we are aware of the renewed focus on certain issues.” It has also been reported that director of “Down in the Valley” as well as the Sacramento King’s Basketball team has allegedly been told not to attend tonight’s premiere of the film. With these revelations, the term “Allegations” is now trending in Sacramento, California, United States, and there is now a judicial review of Kevin Johnson’s secret emails being processed. Justifiable is a suspicion that a man is capable of doing what he hath done already, and that it is possible for one who hath been a villain once to act the same part again.

 

 

 

A Dramatic and Beautiful Story from a Local Hero

 

Love and labor, are two beautiful old fashions that began long ago, with the first pair in Eden. Some people say love is hard to find, and maybe it is? However, when you find the right one, you just know. Some people are brave enough to admit they are in love and form solidarity of the race and the ties that are as real and vital as a physical fraternity. Men, who learn endurance, are they who call the whole World brother. Love is capricious and involuntary; reason cannot direct its choice, I am very happy to announce that Olympian, Tom Daley (age 21), from Plymouth, Devon, United Kingdom is engaged to marry Oscar-winning screenwriter, Dustin Lance Black (age 41), from Sacramento, California, United States.  Love is a flower that grows in any soil. I am so impressed because the two are young and very successful and known around the World, and they did not let anything stand in the way of their love. It was not long ago that Dustin Lance Black thought about hurting himself because he did not think he would be able to admit who he truly was. And now he is an openly gay man and getting ready to marry a huge Olympic star and they are confident enough to share their romance with the World. This will open many doors for others who may have at one time been ashamed or afraid to admit who they are. This is a dramatic and beautiful story and one that I am happy to bring you, the audience. There is so much going on in the World right now that it is nice to take a moment out of the day and hear about something good, hear about two real heroes, two pioneers. Now the two can live a more joyful and purposeful life. Some boys are born lovers. From the time they can reach our from the nurse’s arms, they must be billing and cooing and choosing a mate. I wish these two young men the best. God be praised for love’s young dream. Real love and truth are stronger in the end than any evil or misfortune.

The Two Great Teachers: Nature and Love

 

It was not long before he was smiling and enjoying life. I have thought more of my daydreams are more extended and magnificent, but they want (as the painters call it) keeping. It is okay to spend time daydreaming, you are the architect of your future, and wishing for what could be is great; get busy and cast the line yourself, and make something happen. As soon as you discover your purpose in life and pursue your dreams, one will inevitably spend more and more of one’s time doing what you enjoy and do best. That is good. If you focus on your priorities, you can achieve your dreams. I remember how I seemed to float, then, down then, melancholy glory of that track upon the sea, away into the World of dreams. However, success requires something else: discipline. One of the best ways I know to improve self-control is to do something you do not enjoy doing (as long as it is constructive like cleaning the toilet or respecting people who hate you)—everyday. If you learn to do what you must, you will be able to do what you want. Success seems to be connected action. Successful people keep it moving. They may make mistakes, but they never quit. The man is himself, and the woman herself: that dream of love is over as everything else is over in life; as flowers and fury, and griefs and pleasures are over. 

 If we awake in the morning to find rain when we vividly had anticipated sunshine, it is only the common mind who would regret the compensation of the dream. Randolph Harris of Cosumnes River College, in Sacramento, California conducted a five-year study of leading artists, like Aaliyah and Britney Spears, and athletes like Serena Williams and Pete Rose, and scholars like Brice Harris and Dr. Freud. It also consisted of anonymous interviews with the top twenty performers in various fields, including pianists, musicians, actors, actresses, photographers, journalist, sculptors, mathematicians, and neurologist. Serena Williams dreamed that she was delivered of a tennis ball, which the devil (who, to her great surprise, acted the part of midwife) struck so forcibly with a racket that it disappeared in an instant. The information was supplemented by additional interviews with those people’s families and teachers. Randolph Harris and his team of researchers sought to find clues to how these high achievers developed because everyone is tired of sad and tragic stories. What we discovered was that the drive and determination helped to build their talent, which lead to their success. Dreamers see the Heavens open every day. I loved these dreams and the success of my imaginary achievements. They were my best parts of life, my secret truth, my hidden reality.

 The bars of the real are set close about us; we cannot open our wings, but they are stuck against them, and drop bleeding. However, when we glide between the bars into the great unknown beyond, we may sail forever in the glorious blue sky, seeing nothing but our own shadows, which may scare us at times. So age success age, and dream succeeds dream, and of the joy of the dreamer no man knoweth but he who dreameth. Our fathers had their dream; we have ours; the generation that follows will have its own. Without dreams and phantoms, we cannot exist. It is no use of talking about waking me, when you are one of the things of my dream. You know very well we are not real. Dreams do not confine themselves to the rules of drama. I have dreamt in my life dreams that have stayed with me ever after, and changed my ideas; they have gone through and through me, like wine through water, and altered the color of my mind. Each person has its corresponding duties. The question where the duty of obedience ends, and the duty of resistance begins, could in no case be any easy one. The first duty of a great man or lady is justice. Justice must not be simply an opinion, we have to obey man’s laws and God’s laws, as best we can. However, the bare performance of duty merits do not reward, it is a requirement. We must be a common scholar afore we can be a on common one.

Congratulations, Ms. Lydia Hearst!

 

hearst-castle

The Heavens reward three manifold, I pray. Then while we live, in love let us so preserve. Super Model, heiress, and businesswoman Lydia Hearst is engaged to be married. Lydia Hearst is the great granddaughter of archaeologist, politician, and media mogul William Randolph Hearst, who is said to have invented the news industry in America, as he built the nation’s largest newspaper chain.

william-r-hearst

William Randolph Hearst owns several of your favorite media outlets such as A&E, History, Lifetime and ESPN, and 30 other television stations including KCRA TV in Sacramento, California; several newspapers such as the Huston Chronicle and Albany Times Union, and more than 300 magazines around the World including Cosmopolitan, ELLE, Harper’s Bazaar and  Car & Driver; and other digital services such as United Artists Media Group, BuzzFeed, VICE and more. William Randolph Hearst also constructed several estates and castles, such as the Hearst Castle. Mr. Hearst was known for going around the World and collecting precious antiquities for preservation, and he was also a nice man. So, the young lady, Ms. Lydia Hearst is engaged to marry Christopher Ryan Hardwick, a 43-year-old Television and Chief Executive Officer of Nerdist Industries, the digital division of Legendary Entertainment.

I am sure Lydia’s mother, Patricia Hearst is very excited. Her daughter Gillian Hearst is married and now Lydia will also soon be married. It was very romantic and fitting for a princess, Lydia was asked to marry Christopher at Hearst castle. I am sure her great grandfather might be a little reluctant, as most men heavily scrutinize who their great granddaughter marries, but he would be happy that she said yes to a man, who is professional, established, and someone Lydia truly loves. We wish you the best, Lydia Hearst, but I imagine that so many men are tearing up now that the American Princess is no longer available. I felt the same way when Nicky Hilton married James Rothschild, I think a lot of men had dreams of marrying Nicky Hilton, who is now Nicky Rothschild. These women sure do marry well, but what else could be expected from some of the most beautiful women in the World! So, if you had any question, the American Dream and true love are alive and well.

Jus Primae Noctisd

 

Rape is a crossing of another’s sexual boundaries without their permission. It is abusive behavior. If you are being run by your sexual appetite, your caring about possibly disrespecting the other’s boundaries will matter little to you. Rape is an eroticized trespassing and violation of their being. Its tools are various combinations of physical force, threat, coercion, abuse of authority, manipulation, and a capacity to shut off empathy and override conscience. Rape features aggression and lust in a darkly compelling embrace, being allowed to possess and run one, in context ranging from the mundane to the evil. This is not some kind of anomaly, but the Pentagon recently released a report indicating that in 2012 there were 26,000 cases of reported sexual assaults in the United States military. Of the 26,000 assaults, 14,000 men reported being raped and 12,000 women. Many think that only women are raped, but these statistics show that more men were actually violated than women in this particular setting, and only 9 percent of these cases processed actually went to court martial. The Pentagon also estimated that about 90 percent of rapes go unreported. Furthermore, some key United States military officers, in charge of preventing sexual assault, were under investigation for sexual attacks also.

 Many rape cases are looked at as an unpleasant statistic, as if it were not all that serious a matter. It is estimated that 20 percent of women and 18 percent of men, in the United States have been raped or otherwise sexually assaulted. However, men are far less likely to report these crimes. Rape may be the most underreported crime. The United States Bureau of Justice Statistics states that 91 percent of rape victims are female, and 9 percent are male, and that 99 percent of the offenders are male. And did you know that in more than half of the states in the US, a rapist who has impregnated their victims can sue for custody and visitation rights? Most rapists are men, and for some of those men, the sexualized overpowering of another is titillating, especially when they are able to dehumanize that other, reducing her—or him—to a little more than a prop (or mere property) in their sexual fantasies and actions. The not uncommon hesitation of many men in positions of considerable power to take really strong stands regarding rape only contributed to the viewing of rape as something bad, but not that bad. Often times when people are raped, the person who attacked them will smile and their face, and hover around them like nothing ever happened. And people, who hear about it, not necessarily from the person assaulted, will pretend like nothing ever happened. However, generally men are appalled by rape. Many women do not report rape because they are embarrassed and want to forget. Men will not report being raped because there is the thought “Boys will be boys,” and what man wants to be questioned about being dominated and made to feel lower than a worm’s belly? Some rapists will even justify their actions and threaten to retaliate if you report it.

 Some people are not sexually active, for whatever reason, and others may know this because they have tried to pursue a sexual encounter with the person, but have been shut down. This might make that individual seem like even more of a challenge. Much like a wild beast, some feel that through actual and or violent overpowering of another is arousing. Rape takes the eroticizing or the desire to overpower, dominate, or hurt another, and acts it out sexually against the wishes of that person, violating her or him, using vaginal, anal, or oral penetration with the penis or an object. Most men know that rape is something they can never engage in, so do not think all men are bad, there is no way that they could find sexually violating another person to be at all arousing or appealing or doable. If we are to fully heal, and have a life in which passion, awareness, integrity, and love function we have to learn what intimacy means. You cannot overrun, possess, nor control another we are very close to. You may feel that someone was made for you, and if you want to become intimate with someone, have the psychological architecture of allowing them to occupy your heart, and get to know them deep inside, even though we do not have them.

 

 

Vigilantism and Victims

 

The man who has injustice done him in the name of the law is generally a poor man, that is the real reason he has been squeezed. He had no money, and could not hold out. Many consider Anthony Sadler, Alek Skarlatos, and Spencer Stone heroes, but to others they are vigilantes. Without investigation, or even hearing the other rise of the story, people rushed to call these young men heroes. However, people are drafted to war every day, and have to face bombs getting thrown at their head, they constantly get shot at, and even go without food, water, or contact with their families. And because of their service, some of their children are born with birth defects, and these people who fought for your freedom get no consideration, no awards shows, nor do they get to meet the President, and some people find out their children have birth defects and tease them restlessly. Yet, it is just part of life. Others lost their parents early from saving in the war and go without things they require and there is no help for them. And police and firefighters and other emergency service workers often face dangerous conditions, lose their lives and save lives, but still, they go unrecognized.

 A Muslim teen, Ahmed Mohamed, was arrested for bringing a homemade clock to school, which looked to a teacher, as a bomb. The teacher was scared and called the police, and the student was arrested for bring a hoax bomb to school. When the young man, Ahmed Mohamed, was questioned about what the device was, he replied, “A clock,” with no further explanation. To some, the young man seemed defiant. And many think he and his family are manipulating the media. They are taking advantage of the race card to get sympathy and play the victim role to get sympathy from the public. What I find interesting about this case is it was overdone. The boy wore a NASA shirt to school, there was no science fare going on, he seemed reluctant to explain what the suspicious device was, and when he got arrested, he looked upset. I know if I got arrested for my science experiment, I would be sad, or crying, especially as a young boy.  Also, with all the school massacres and violence, the teacher was right to call the police, the device does look scary.

 On the issues of unlawful immigrants, I do not support immigrant reform. I think we need to build the Great Wall of America. These people are breaking the laws to come to the country, committing crimes, and are putting a lot of wear and tear on the system. Not only that, but America is $18.5 trillion in debt, we cannot afford to take care of more people at this time. As you know, 76 percent of immigrants with children collect welfare, and 50 percent without children receive some kind of government benefits. Furthermore, we cannot even enforce laws that have been on the books for decades, and so we should not take on more responsibilities than we can handle. Also, if you become an illegal immigrant in Mexico, you would likely end up dead, and most certainly would be arrested.  The arm of the law reaches far, and through its movements are sometimes slow, they are not the less certain.

 

 

 

Web of Incestuous Deception, Corruption and Lies Woven by Mayor Kevin Johnson

 

We cannot escape responsibility for choosing the future of our metropolitan areas and the human relations which develop within them. It is a responsibility so critical that even an unconscious choice to continue presents policies has the gravest implications. I have been interested in journalism for so long and have found so many new things. However, never were my eyes opened so widely as during the time that Kevin Johnson has been mayor of Sacramento, California. It has been a strange experience to hear of a politician be accused of serial sexual harassment of women and minors so many times, accused of embezzlement, and forced to pay money back, and then increase his staff, by using $700,000.00 of taxpayer money, then threaten to sue the Sacramento Bee (newspaper), and actually sue the Sacramento News and Review for requesting public documents. Just a few years ago, President Bill Clinton was impeached for far less. And in 2003, Governor of California, Gray Davis was recalled and removed from office because he had lost touch with voters. However, why has there been no public hamburger throwing about the misrepresentation of the good people of Sacramento?

 That we have delayed in choosing or, by delaying, may be making the wrong choice, does not sentence us either to separatism or despair. However, we must choose. We will choose. Indeed, we are now choosing. The future of our cities is neither something which will just happen nor something which will be imposed upon us by inevitable destiny. That future will be shaped to an important degree by choices we make now. We have attempted to set forth the major choices because we believe it is vital for Americans to understand the consequences of our present drift. There is a widening gap between human needs and public resources and a growing cynicism regarding the commitment of community institutions and leaderships to meet these needs. As a resolution, the Sacramento City Council wants to consider an ethics package with commissioners five, who would serve four-year terms, and make sure that there is transparency in Sacramento’s local government. However, the committee would be appointed by the mayor, who is the reason this committee has been established.

 The problems Sacramento is facing have many dimensions, financial, political, and institutional. Mayor Kevin Johnson and the City Council are simply unable to meet the growing need for public services and facilities with traditional sources of municipal revenue. Many feel like the city is structured politically so that great numbers of citizens have little or no representation in process of local government. It is as if the Mayor Kevin Johnson has seduced the city council with his sexual aggressiveness and limitless taxpayer money, and as the decay of the central city continues, its revenue base has been eroded by the retreat of industry and white middle class families to the suburbs. In the past few years, central city has lost 38,000 residents. And to make matter worse, it seems the public is indulging in the Kool aid of Mayor Johnson and so deep in a sugar coma they do not see how serious the syrup of corruption surrounding the mayor is. The tax rates are inflated by rising costs and increasing numbers of dependent citizens and its public plant—county workers, correctional institutions, and long-deferred maintenance.

 Yet to most citizens, the decay remains largely invisible. Only their tax bills and the headlines about crime suggest that something may be seriously wrong in the city. In the long run, continuation and expansion of the mayor’s power threatens a permanent division. The first is the danger of sustained violence in our cities. The timing, scale, nature, and repercussions of such violence cannot be foreseen. However, under the Mayor Johnson administration and the current city council, it would further destroy our ability to achieve the basic American promises of liberty, justice, and equality. Not only that but the corruption surrounding Mayor Kevin Johnson makes all of Sacramento, California, and every single politician look bad because they are sitting back watching, as if they have no idea what is going on. As Mayor Johnson continues to rape public savings, and put a strait jacket on community meetings, shutting out journalist and the public, Sacramento cannot espouse the American ideals of individual dignity, freedom, and equality of opportunity meaningfully to the rest of the World, to ourselves, to our children. Some may still recite the Pledge of Allegiance and say, “one nation, under God, indivisible.” However, they will be learning cynicism, not patriotism.

Money is a Virtue, Gold is Fate

 

Self-trust is the first secret of success. He worked by day, and toiled by night. He gave up much play, and much delight. Dry books he read, new things to learn. And forged ahead success to earn, he plodded on, with faith and pluck. And when he won, they called it luck. Until you value yourself, you will not value your time. Until you value your time, you will not do anything with it. Success is not perfection; success is slightly above average. Wealth and what it brings is at best fleeting. For example, in 1923, a small group of the World’s wealthiest men were at the Edgewater Beach Hotel in Chicago, Illinois. They were the elite, the most wealthy and powerful people in the World. At that time, they controlled more money than the total amount contained in the United States Treasury. Here is a list of who was there and what eventually happened to them: Charles Schwab: president of the largest independent steel company, and he died penniless. Arthur Cutten: greatest of the wheat speculator, died abroad, bankrupt. Richard Witney: president of the New York Stock Exchange, died just after release from Sing Sing prison. Albert Fall: member of a U.S. President’s cabinet, was pardoned from prison so that he could die at home. Jess Livermore: greatest bear on Wall Street, committed suicide. Leon Fraser: president of the Bank of International Settlements, committed suicide. Ivar Kreuger: head of the World’s greatest monopoly, committed suicide.

 Even Greek millionaire Aristotle Onassis, who retained his wealth and died at a seasoned old age, recognized that money is not the same as success. He said, “After you reach a certain point, money becomes unimportant. What matters is success.” Because all of the things people buy cost money to maintain and taxes have to be paid. You can make $20 million, one year, buy a $5 million mansion, and have to pay taxes and security, child support, and lawsuits and end up unable to afford your home or find work the next year. Then to top it off, when you reach a certain status, you have an image to keep, so a standard job might not be for you, and you may have to do strange things to make money. When a man is very fond of his money it is not easy for him, at all times, to be very fond of his children also. The two are like God and Mammon. Loss of money is not only the worst pain in itself, but it is the parent of all others. The highest reward for your work is not what you get for it, but what you become by it. Success is a continuing thing. It is growth and development. It is achieving one thing and using that as catalysis to achieve something else.

 Many people have a losing attitude. People generally get whatever they expect out of life. Expect the worst, and that is what you will get. They quit growing. People are what they are, and they are where they are because of what has gone into their minds. They have no game plan for success. There are two kinds of failures: Those who thought and never did, and those who did and never thought. They are unwilling to change. Some people would rather cling to what they hate rather than embrace what might be better because they are afraid of getting something worse. They fail in relationships with others. People who cannot get along with others will never get ahead in life. They are not willing to pay the price for success. The road to success is uphill all the way. Anyone who wants to accomplish much must sacrifice much. The truth within me is unassailable, and the power of the word is irresistible. I can even now feel that my word has gone forth with power and reality, and that it will accomplish that purpose for which it was created. Limitless is its power and wonderful are its works. It can be nothing less the Almighty working in and through me. I will let this word of spirit go forth from my mouth, and heal and bless the World. It shall be as a strong tower unto all who call upon it. The truth is complete and perfect, and is within me now. My word is complete and perfect, now.

Have Faith

 

So parents often times do not realize how much they mean to their adult children. You may not realize it, but you mean more to your children than you know, and it gives them pain to see you stressed out and unhappy. One of the biggest fears is losing you. And your kids know as they get older that they have to find a healthy relationship and make it work out, as no one wants to be alone in this world. Many kids understand the glamour of a relationship and understand they save loves or make lives better. As a parent, your great example has inspired your children to innovate, question the status quo, and challenge the current state of their lives. By watching you, your adult children have learned to make opportunities out of every problem encountered, by taking these problems as learning lessons. Through your religious background, your children have learned not to blame others, nor build up resentment, but to forgive others. By forgiving others, it is actually taking a weight off of our shoulders, and healing us.

 However, there is something called righteous anger; we have a right to be angry and not sin. I get angry at the injustice, and people being treated unfairly, but I am not going to do anything about it. All I can do is pray, and it is a shame when someone advises you to break your relationship with God and the church. Sin nature seems to have free range in this World, and we have been bought with a price. The blood of Christ bought all of us. Some sin, and they enjoy sin, and will not repent. When we fall into sin, however, as people of God, we know to seek forgiveness. Blaming others and building up resentment and anger is not good. At the same time, we do not tolerate bad behavior. Unlike one of our fallen brothers, if you are being harassed relentlessly, contact the owner of your organization and document everything, but never express hostility or anger. The owner has to do something. Let faith oust fact; let fancy oust memory; I look deep down and do believe.

 

 

The House of Love

 

I never had a friend like you, and besides can you not see? –you are the only person (his voice drops to a whisper) –the only person who knows. You do see, do you not? You understand? I am desperate – I am at the end of my tether. I want to be free, and you can free me. I know you can. You do not want to keep me bound fast in hell, do you? You cannot want to take such a vengeance as that. You were always kind–your eyes are kind now. You say you are sorry for me. Well, it rests with you to show it; and Heaven knows there is nothing to keep you back. You understand, of course–there would not be a hint of publicity–not a sound or a syllable to connect you with the thing. It would never come to that, you know: all I require is to be able to say definitely: ‘I know this–and this–and this’ –and the fight would drop, and the way be cleared, and the whole abominable business swept out of sight in a second. I dwell in the house of love; my dwelling place is filled with peace and eternal calm. Love attends me in my home of the soul, and you awaits upon me in the “The Secret Place of The Most High.” My house is built for me by the hand of Love, and I shall never leave this Home of the Spirit, for it is always present. I shall abide in this home forevermore. Arise, my Spirit, arise and shine. Let thy light illumine my path, and let thy wisdom direct my way. Compel my will to do Thy bidding, and command my Soul to look to Thee. I will follow Thee, my Spirit, and learn of thee. I will sit in the Silence and listen and watch, and I will see thy light and hear thy voice. I will follow thee and will not depart from Thee, for in the alone is peace. Arise and shine.
