While some men are not statesmen or politicians by profession, and they certainly may not be one by birth, but, in many cases, they represent political yes-men who can be used for the completion of certain tasks. The significance of the lawyer in Occidental politics since the rise of parties is not accidental. The management of politics through parties simply means management through interest groups. The craft of the trained lawyer is superior to any “officials,” as the superiority of enemy propaganda could teach us. Certainly, he can advocate and win a cause supported by logically weak arguments and one which, in this sense, is a “weak” cause. Yet, he wins it because technically, he makes a “strong case” for it. However, only the lawyer successfully pleads a cause that can be supported by logically strong arguments, thus handling a “good” cause “well.” All too often, the civil servant, as a politician, turns a cause that is good in every sense into a “weak” cause, through technically “weak” pleading. This is what we have had to experience. To an outstanding degree, politics today is in fact conducted in public by means of the spoken or written word. To weigh the effect of the word properly falls within the range of the lawyer’s tasks, but not at all into that of the civil servant. The latter is no demagogue; he usually becomes a very poor one. It is almost never acknowledged that the responsibility of the journalist is far greater, and that the sense of responsibility of the journalist is, on the average, not a bit lower than that of the scholar, but rather, as the war has shown, higher. This is because in the very nature of the case, irresponsible journalistic accomplishments and their often terrible effects are remembered. #RandolphHarris 1 of 31

I know of cases in which natural leaders have been permanently paralyzed in their ascent to power, externally and above all internally. The often bitter experiences in occupational life are perhaps not even the worst. The inner demands that are directed precisely at the successful journalist are especially difficult. It is, indeed, no small matter to frequent the salons of the powerful on this earth on a seemingly equal footing and often to be flattered by all because one is feared, yet knowing all the time that having hardly closed the door, the host has perhaps to justify before his guests his associations with the “scavengers from the press.” Moreover, it is no small matter that one must express oneself promptly and convincingly about this and that, on all conceivable problems of life—whatever the “market” happens to demand—and this without becoming absolutely shallow and above all without losing one’s dignity by baring oneself, a thing which has merciless results. It is not astonishing that there are many journalists who have become human failures and worthless men. Rather, it is astonishing that, despite all this, this very stratum includes such a great number of valuable and quite genuine men, a fact that outsiders would not so easily guess. Legislation aimed at controlling the campaign costs of elections and to check the power of money by making it obligatory for the candidate to state the costs of his campaign has been a very important consideration. For the candidates, besides straining their voices, enjoy stretching their purses. In order to win the masses, it is necessary to call into being a tremendous apparatus of apparently democratic associations. An electoral association must be formed in every city district to help keep the organization incessantly in motion and to bureaucratize everything rigidly. #RandolphHarris 2 of 31

Hence, hired and paid officials of the local electoral committees have increased numerically; and, on the whole, perhaps 10 percent of the voters were organized in these local committees. These local circles are also the first to call upon the world of finance. This newly emerging machine, which is no longer led by members of any political party, has to now struggle with the previous power-holders, above all, with the “whip.” Being supported by locally interested persons, the machine has come out of the fight so victoriously that the whip must submit and compromise with the machine. The result is a centralization of all power in the hands of the few and, ultimately, of the one person who stands at the top of the party. According to President George Washington’s idea, America was to be a commonwealth administered by “gentlemen.” In his time, in America, a gentleman was also a landlord, or a man with a college education—this was the case at first. In the beginning, when parties began to organize, the members of the House of Representatives claimed to be leaders, just as in England at the time when notables ruled. The party organization was quite loose and continued to be until 1824. In some communities, where modern development first took place, the party machine was in the making even before the eighteen-twenties. However, when Andrew Jackson was first elected President—the election of the western farmers’ candidate—the old traditions were overthrown. Formal party leadership by leading members of Congress came to an end soon after 1840, when the parliamentarians, Calhoun and Webster, retired from political life because Congress had lost almost all of its power to the party machine in the open country. #RandolphHarris 3 of 31

That the plebiscitarian “machine” has developed so early in America is due to the fact that there, and there alone, the executive—this is what mattered—the chief of office-patronage, was a President elected by plebiscite. By virtue of the “separation of powers,” he was almost independent of parliament in his conduct of office. Hence, as the price of the victory, the true booty object of the office-prebend was held out precisely at the presidential election. Through Andrew Jackson, the “spoils system” was quite systematically raised to a principle, and the conclusions were drawn. What does this spoils system, the turning over of federal offices to the following of the victorious candidate, mean for the party formations of today? It means that quite unprincipled parties oppose one another; they are purely organizations of job hunters drafting their changing platforms according to the chances of vote-grabbing, changing platforms according to the chances of vote-grabbing, changing their colors to a degree which, despite all analogies, is not yet to be found elsewhere. The parties are simply and absolutely fashioned for the election campaign that is most important for office patronage: the fight for the presidency and for the governorships of the separate states. Platforms and candidates are selected at the national conventions of the parties without intervention by congressmen. Hence, they emerge from party conventions, the delegates of which are formally, very democratically elected. These delegates are determined by meetings of other delegates, who, in turn, owe their mandate to the “primaries,” the assembling of the direct voters of the party. In the primaries, the delegates are already elected in the name of the candidate for the nation’s leadership. Within the parties, the most embittered fight rages about the question of “nomination.” #RandolphHarris 4 of 31

After all, 300,000 to 400,000 official appointments lie in the hands of the President, appointments which are executed by him only with the approval of the senators from the separate states. Hence, the senators are powerful politicians. By comparison, however, the House of Representatives is, politically, quite impotent, because patronage of office is removed from it and because the cabinet members, simply assistants to the President, can conduct office apart from the confidence or lack of confidence of the people. The President, who is legitimized by the people, confronts everybody, even Congress; this is a result of the “separation of powers.” In America, the spoils system, supported in this fashion, has been technically possible because American culture, with its youth, could afford purely dilettante management. With 300,000 to 400,000 such party men who have no qualifications to their credit other than the fact of having performed good services for their party, this state of affairs, of course, could not exist without enormous evils. Corruption and wastefulness, second to none, could be tolerated only by a country with as yet unlimited economic opportunities. Now then, the boss is the figure who appears in the pictures of this system of the plebiscitarian party machine. Who is the boss? He is a political capitalist entrepreneur who, on his own account and at his own risk, provides votes. He may have established his first relations as a lawyer or a saloonkeeper, or as a proprietor of similar establishments, or perhaps as a creditor. From here, he spins his threads out until he is able to “control” a certain number of votes. When he comes this far, he establishes contact with the neighboring bosses, and through zeal, skill, and above all discretion, he attracts the attention of those who have already further advanced in the career, and then he climbs. The boss is indispensable to the organization of the party, and the organization is centralized in his hands. He substantially provides the financial means. #RandolphHarris 5 of 31

How does he get them? Well, partly by the contributions of the members, and especially by taxing the salaries of those officials who came into office through him and his party. Furthermore, there are bribes and tips. He who wishes to trespass with impunity one of the many laws needs the boss’s connivance and must pay for it; or else he will get into trouble. However, this alone is not enough to accumulate the necessary capital for political enterprises. The boss is indispensable as the direct recipient of the money for election purposes to a paid party official, or to anyone else giving public account of his affairs. The boss, with his judicious discretion in financial matters, is the natural man for those capitalist circles who finance the election. The typical boss is an absolutely sober man. He does not seek social honor; the “professional” is despised in “respectable society.” He seeks power alone, power as a source of money, but also power for power’s sake. The American boss works in the part. He is not heard speaking in public; he suggests to the speakers what they must say in expedient fashion. He himself, however, keeps silent. As a rule, he accepts no office, except that of senator. For, since the senators, by virtue of the Constitution, participate in office patronage, the leading bosses often sit in person in this body. The distribution of offices is carried out, in the first place, according to services done for the party. However, also, auctioning offices on financial bids often occurs, and there are certain rates for individual offices; hence, a system of selling offices exists which, after all, has often been known also to the monarchies, the church-state included, of the seventeenth and eighteenth centuries. #RandolphHarris 6 of 31

The boss has no firm political “principles’; he is completely unprincipled in attitude and asks merely: What will capture votes? As a rule, he leads an inoffensive and correct private life. In his political morals, however, he naturally adjusts to the average ethical standards of political conduct, as a great many of us also may have done during the hoarding period in the field of economic ethics. That, as a “professional” politician, the boss is socially despised, and that does not worry him. That he personally does not attain high federal offices, and does not wish to do so, has the frequent advantage that extra-party intellectuals, thus notables, may come into candidacy when the bosses believe they will have great appeal values at the polls. Hence, the same old party notables do not run again and again, as is the case in Germany. Thus, the structure of these unprincipled parties with their socially despised power-holders has aided able men to attain the presidency—men who with us never would have come to the top. To be sure, the bosses resist an outsider who might jeopardize their sources of money and power. Yet, in the competitive struggle to win the favor of the voters, the bosses frequently have had to condescend and accept candidates known to be opponents of corruption. Thus, there exists a strong capitalist party machine, strictly and thoroughly organized from the top to the bottom, and supported by clubs of extraordinary stability. These clubs, clubs such as The Hell Fire Club, the Crusades, the Benevolent and Protective Order of Elks, the Odd Fellows, are like Knight orders. They seek profits solely through political control, especially of the municipal government, which is the most important object of booty. This structure of party life was made possible by the high degree of democracy in the United States of America—a “New Country.” This connection, in turn, is the basis for the fact that the system is gradually dying out. America can no longer be governed only by dilettantes. #RandolphHarris 7 of 31

Scarcely fifteen years ago, when American workers were asked why they allowed themselves to be governed by politicians whom they admitted they despised, the answer was: “We prefer having people in office whom we can sit upon, rather than a caste of officials who spit upon us, as is the case with you.” This was the old point of view of American “democracy.” Even then, the socialists had entirely different ideas, and now the situation is no longer bearable. The dilettante administration does not suffice, and the Civil Service Reform establishes an ever-increasing number of positions for life with pension rights. The reform works out in such a way that university-trained officials, just as incorruptible and quite as capable as our officials, get into office. Even now, about 100,000 offices have ceased being objects of booty to be turned over after elections. Rather, the offices qualify their holders for pensions, and are based upon tested qualifications. The spoils system will thus gradually recede into the background, and the nature of party leadership is then likely to be transformed also—but as yet, we do not know in what way. However, what, in fact, does the sacrifice of individual men matter as long as it contributes to the salvation of all mankind? Progress resembles that unusual pagan god who wished to drink nectar only from the skulls of his fallen enemies. However, at least it is progress, and it will cease to inflict torture after the industrial apocalypse when the day of reconciliation comes. However, if the proletariat cannot avoid this revolution nor avoid being put in possession of the means of production, will it at least know how to use them for the benefit of all? Where is the guarantee that, in the very bosom of the revolution, Estates, classes, and antagonisms will not arise? #RandolphHarris 8 of 31

The guarantee lies in Hegel. And the Christian Bible agrees. “They will throw their silver into the streets, and their gold will be treated as a thing unclean. Their silver and gold will not be able to deliver them in the day of the LORD’s wrath. It will not satisfy their hunger or fill their stomachs, for it has caused them to stumble into sin,” Ezekiel 7:19. The proletariat is forced to use its wealth for the universal good. It is not the proletariat, it is the universal in opposition to the particular—in other words, to capitalism. The antagonism between capital and the proletariat is the last phase of the struggle between the particular and the universal, the same struggle that animated the historical tragedy of master and slave. At the end of the visionary design constructed by Karl Marx, the proletariat will unite all classes and discard only a handful of masters, perpetrators of “notorious crime,” who will be justly destroyed by the revolution. What is more, capitalism, by driving the proletariat to final point of degradation, gradually delivers it from every decision that might separate it from other men. It has nothing, neither property nor morality nor country. Therefore, it clings to nothing but the species of which it is henceforth the naked and implacable representative. In affirming itself, it affirms everything and everyone. Not because members of the proletariat are gods, but precisely because they have been reduced to the most adjectly inhuman condition. “Only the proletariat, totally excluded from this affirmation of their personality, are capable of realizing the complete affirmation of self.” That is the mission of the proletariat: to bring forth supreme dignity from supreme humiliation. Through its suffering and its struggles, it is Christ in human form redeeming the collective sin of alienation. It is, first of all, the multiform bearer of total negation and then the herald of definitive affirmation. #RandolphHarris 9 of 31

“Philosophy cannot realize itself without the disappearance of the proletariat, the proletariat cannot liberate itself without the realization of philosophy,” and again: “The proletariat can exist only on the basis of world history…Communist action can exist only as historical reality on the planetary scale.” However, this Christ is, at the same time, an avenger. According to Mr. Marx, he carries out the sentence that private property passes on itself. “All the houses, in our times, are marked with a mysterious cross. The judge is history, the executioner is the proletariat.” Thus, the fulfilment is inevitable. Crisis will succeed crisis, the degradation of the proletariat will become more and more profound, it will increase in numbers until the time of the universal crisis, when the world of change will vanish and when history, by supreme act of violence, will cease to be violent any longer. The kingdom of ends will have come. “And God shall wipe away all tears from their eyes, and there shall be no more death, neither sorrow, nor crying, neither shall there be any more pain; for the former things are passed away,” reports Revelation 21:4. It cannot possibly be denied that such things are true. Emergency conditions are, almost by definition, rare in the normally functioning peaceful society. That is truism can be forgotten is due to two reasons. First, rats have few motivations other than physiological ones, and since so much of the research upon motivation has been made with these animals, it is easy to carry the rat-picture over to the human being. Secondly, it is too often not realized that culture itself is an adaptive tool, one of whose main functions is to make the physiological emergencies come less and less often. In most of the known societies, chronic extreme hunger of the emergency type is rare, rather than common. In any case, this is still true in the United States of America. The average American citizen is experiencing appetite rather than hunger when he says, “I am hungry.” He is apt to experience sheer life-and-death hunger only by accident and then only a few times through his entire life. #RandolphHarris 10 of 31

Every clinician has seen over and over again how a parent’s fear that his child may turn out to be just like a particular uncle or aunt can drive the child in that very direction, especially if the warning parent himself is not an especially good model. One should never rape or rob the earth of its precious substance without cultivating its fertile cooperation through care, work, and prayer. This rapacious activity, plus the constant danger of being crushed by a mere squeeze of the earth’s insides, man is reminded of his disunion with God and with other men: conscience is the sign of man’s disunion with himself. Conscience is farther from the origin than shame; it presupposes disunion with God and with man and marks only the disunion with himself of the man who is already disunited from the origin. It is the voice of apostate life which desires at least to remain one with itself. It is the call to the unity of man with himself. This is evident already from the fact that the call of conscience is always a prohibition. “Thou shalt not.” “You ought not to have.” Conscience is satisfied when the prohibition is not disobeyed. Whatever is not forbidden is permitted. For conscience life falls into two parts: what is permitted and what is forbidden. There is no positive commandment. For conscience does not register the fact, that even in this, man is in a state of disunion with his origin. It follows from this also that conscience does not, like shame, embrace the whole of life; it reacts only to certain definite actions. In one sense, it is inexorable; in forbidden actions, it sees a peril to life as a whole, that is to say, disunion with oneself; it recalls what is long past and represents this disunion as something which is already accomplished and irreparable, but the final criterion remains precisely that unity with oneself which is imperiled only in the particular instances in which the prohibition is disobeyed. #RandolphHarris 11 of

In neurosis, the control operates in a more selective way. Certain feelings then go scot-free or are even encouraged. Thus, for instance, people with strong self-effacing trends tend to exaggerate feelings of love or of misery. The check here is primarily on the whole range of hostile feelings: suspicion, anger, contempt, vindictiveness. Of course, feelings may be flattened out or suppressed as a result of many other factors, among them alienation from self, forbidding pride, self-frustration. However, the vigilant control system is operating over and beyond these factors shows in many instances by fright responses at the mere prospect of lessened control—such as fears of falling asleep, of being under anesthesia or under the influence of alcohol, of lying on the couch and associating freely, of letting go in skiing downhill. Feelings—whether of compassion, fear, or violence—that do penetrate the control system may arouse panic. Such panic may be caused by the person’s fearing and rejecting these feelings because they jeopardize something specific in the neurotic structure. However, he also may become panicky simply because he realizes that his control system is not functioning. If this is analyzed, the panic subsides, and only then do the particular feelings and the patient’s attitude toward them become accessible to work. Many neurotic’s also have a belief in the supremacy of the mind. While feelings—because unruly—are suspects to be controlled, the mind—the imagination and the reason—expands like a genie from a bottle. This, factually, another dualism is created. It is no longer mind and body but mind versus body; no longer mind and self but mind versus self. However, like the other fragmentations, this one too serves to release tensions, to cover up conflicts, and to establish a semblance of unity. It can do so in three ways. #RandolphHarris 12 of 31

The mind can become a spectator of self. The intellect is after all the spectator, and when it does some work, it is as a hireling, for better or for worse. In the case of the neurotic, the mind is never a friendly, concerned spectator; it may be more or less interested, more or less sadistic, but it is always detached—as if looking at a stranger with whom it has been accidentally thrown together. Sometimes, self-observations of this sort may be quite mechanical and superficial. A patient will then give a more or less accurate report of events, activities, symptoms that increase or decrease without touching upon the meaning these events had for him or his personal responses to them. He can also be, or become during analysis, kneely interested in his psychic processes. However, his interest in them is rather a delight in the astuteness of his observations or in the mechanics with which they operate, much in the manner that an entomologist may be fascinated by the functioning of an insect. The analysts, likewise, may be delighted, mistaking all this eagerness of the patient for real interest in himself. And only after a while will he discover that the patient is quite uninterested in the meaning of his findings have for his life. This detached interest may also be openly faultfinding, gleeful, or sadistic. In these instances, it is often externalized, both in an active and in a passive way. He may, as it were, turn his back on himself and be most astute in observing others and their problems—in the same detached, unrelated way. Or he may feel that he is under the hateful and gleeful observation of others—a feeling pronounced in paranoid conditions but by no means restricted to them. Whatever the quality of being an onlooker at himself, he is no longer a participant in the inner struggle and has removed himself from his inner problems. “He” is his observing mind, and as such has a feeling of unity; his brain, then, is the only part of him that feels alive. #RandolphHarris 13 of 31

The mind also works as a co-ordinator. With this function, we are already familiar. We have seen the imagination at work in the very creation of an idealized image, in the ceaseless labor of the pride to blot out this, spotlight that, turn need into virtues, potentialities into realities. Similarly, reason can be subservient to pride in the process of rationalizing: anything then may appear or feel reasonable, plausible, rational—as indeed it is from the perspective of the unconscious premises upon which the neurotic operates. The co-ordinating functions also operate in eliminating any self-doubts, all the more necessary the more shaky the whole structure. There is then, a fanatic logic, a logic which usually goes with an unshakable belief in infallibility. “My logic prevails, because it is the only logic…If the others do not consent, they are idiots.” In relation to others, such an attitude shows as an arrogant righteousness. With regard to inner problems, it closes the door to constructive investigation but at the same time, diminishes tensions by establishing a certainty of sterility. As is so often true in other neurotic contexts, the opposite extreme—a pervasive self-doubting—leads to the same end of quieting tensions. If nothing is as it seems, why bother? In many patients, such all-encompassing skepticism can be quite hidden. On the surface, they graciously accept everything but make silent reservations, as a result of which their own findings, as well as the analyst’s suggestions, are lost in the quicksand. The mind, finally, is the magic ruler for which, as for God, everything is possible. Knowledge of inner problems no longer is a step toward changing, but knowing is changing. Patients operating on this premise without being aware of it, often feel puzzled that this or that disturbance does not vanish since they know so much about its dynamics. #RandolphHarris 14 of 31

The analyst may point out that there must still be essential factors they do not know—which is usually true. However, even when other relevant factors do come into sight, nothing changes. And again, the patient is bewildered and discouraged. So, there may be an endless search for more knowledge, valuable in itself but nevertheless doomed to futility as long as the patient insists that the rays of knowledge should dispel every cloud in his life without his doing the actual changing. The more he tries to manage all his life with pure intellect, the less tolerable it is for him to acknowledge the existence of unconscious factors in him. If they unavoidably intrude, they may arouse disproportionate fear or, in others, be disavowed and reasoned away. This is particularly important in the case of a patient seeing a neurotic conflict in himself for the first time with even a little clarity. He realizes in a flash that, even with his power of reason or imagination, he cannot make incompatibles compatible. He feels trapped and may respond with fright. Then, he may muster all his mental energies to escape facing the conflict. How can he get around it? How can he get by? Where is the hole in the trap through which he can escape? Simplicity and trickiness do not go together—well, could he not be simple in some situations and tricky in others? Or if he is driven to be vindictive and proud of it, while the idea of serenity also has a great hold on him, he becomes captivated by the notion of attaining a serene vindictiveness, of walking through life unruffled, and of annihilating offenders against his pride as he might brush aside bushes. Such a need to get by can amount to a veritable passion. All the good work put in to bring a conflict into clear relief then becomes ineffectual, but the inner “peace” is re-established. #RandolphHarris 15 of 31

All these measures, in different ways, relieve inner tension. In a way, we could call them attempts at solution because in all of them, integrating forces are at work. By compartmentalizing, for instance, the person disconnects conflicting currents and thereby no longer experiences conflicts as conflicts. If a person experiences himself as a spectator of himself, he establishes thereby a feeling of unity. However, we could not possibly describe a person satisfactorily by saying that he is an onlooker at himself, and upon the spirit in which he does it. Similarly, even if we know what he externalizes and how he does it, the process of externalization concerns but one aspect of his neurotic structure. However, is this all of the story? Has all been heard that may be said about being a man, and about man’s temporal life? The most important and decisive thing of all is certainly left out. For the talk about the natural changes of human life over the years, together with what externally happened there, is not in essence any different from talking of plant or of animal life. The animal also changes with the years. When older, it has other desires than it had at an earlier age. At certain times, it, too, has its happiness in life, and at other times, it must endure hardship. Yes, when late autumn comes, even the flower can speak the wisdom of the years and say with truthfulness, “All has its time, there is ‘a time to be born and a time to die’; there is a time to jest lightheartedly in the spring breeze, and a time to break under the autumn storm; there is a time to burst forth into blossom, beside the running water, beloved by the stream, and a time to wither and be forgotten; a time to be sought out of one’s beauty, and a time to be unnoticed in one’s wretchedness; there is a time to be nursed with care, and a time to be cast out with contempt; there is a time to delight in the warmth of the morning sun and a time to perish in the night’s cold. All has its time; ‘what profit hath he that worketh in that wherein he laboureth?’” #RandolphHarris 16 of 31

Mind and its expression in language are thoroughly interwoven, and to improve one is to improve the other. We must begin by looking into our thoughts and examining what sort of ideas we form when dealing with such words and especially when dealing with abstract words. We must attend carefully to what passes in our own mental comprehension the moment an abstract term is used. The plasticity of the human organism and its susceptibility to socially determined interference is best illustrated by the ethnological evidence concerning sexuality. While man possesses sexual drives that are comparable to those of the other higher mammals, human sexuality is characterized by a very high degree of pliability. It is not only relatively independent of temporal rhythms, it is also pliable both in the objects toward which it may be directed and it is modialities of expression. Ethnological evidence shows that, in sexual matters, man is capable of almost anything. One may stimulate one’s sexual imagination to pitch of feverish lust, but it is unlikely that one can conjure up any image that will not correspond to what in some other culture is an established norm, or at least an occurrence to be taken in stride. If the term “normality” is to refer either to what is anthropologically fundamental or to what is culturally universal, then neither it nor its antonym can be meaningfully applied to the varying forms of human sexuality. At the same time, of course, human sexuality is directed, sometimes rigidly structured, in every particular culture. Every culture has a distinctive sexual configuration, with its own specialized patterns of sexual conduct and its own “anthropological” assumptions in the sexual area. The empirical relativity of these configurations, their immense variety and luxurious inventiveness, indicate that they are the product of man’s own sociocultural formations rather than of a biologically fixed human nature. #RandolphHarris 17 of 31

One morning, you open up the newspaper and see a picture of the award-winning Sacramento Fire Department’s classic Crown Victoria crushed under the back of a semi-truck. Car 4 is a retired chief’s car that members used for attending classes and running department errands while on shift. The paper does not say much more than that the department vehicle slammed into the back of a beverage truck, and no one was injured. You call the station and find out that Heidi was using the car to go to the hardware store. As she approached the stoplight at Capitol Avenue, the brake pedal went to the floor, and she slammed into the back of a truck stopped at the light. Luckily, nobody was injured, but the car was most likely totaled. As your day progresses, you remember that your shift used it to go grocery shopping earlier in the week. While it was out, you noticed some oil in the bay where it was parked. You got a rag and cleaned it up so no one would slip on it. Suddenly, you realized that the oil you cleaned up was not as black as you had expected and fear that maybe it was brake fluid after all. If you have investigated it a little more, you now recognize that the crash might have been prevented. Human reaction is to downplay your role in the event, even though you are the only one who is aware of it. It is hard to stop the excuses from erupting. It was not your job to inspect the car. It was an older vehicle and should have been replaced years ago. Heidi probably was driving too close; everyone knows she is easily distracted. It probably was not even brake fluid that you cleaned up. There is no reason to get involved. Once you calm down and realize that you need to remain personally accountable, you decide you have an obligation to come forward with what you know. #RandolphHarris 18 of 31

Sometimes we react to an event without a thorough investigation, but without it you cannot prevent the next incident. When you call the chief to offer your information, you may be surprised to learn that the state police are investigating the crash. Sometimes fire departments do not rely on local police departments to conduct an investigation; instead, they call in the sheriff’s department or state officials. Many might think the reason is to show impartiality. Although that is true, an outside investigation is much more likely to uncover organizational contributing factors than an internal investigation—an outside agency will probably be more thorough and not take anything for granted. A department that is willing to cooperate with any outside investigation shows organizational accountability. This is the same reason why state arson investigators or the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms, and Explosives (ATF) are sometimes called in to assist with investigations of significant fires that have a high-dollar loss or a loss of life. During the investigation, statements are completed by Heidi and the truck driver. With only a property damage crash, it is likely that law enforcement investigation will end at this point. An additional city investigation might be limited to looking at maintenance records of the Crown Vic and possibly a post-incident mandatory drug test for Heidi. There is a good chance the case will be closed right there, and life will go on without even using your statement. #RandolphHarris 19 of 31

Here is where the intent of Initiative 9—fatality, Near-Miss Investigation—shines. The car of Car 4 was not an accident—it was a crash and also a near-miss because nobody was injured. It was not even in emergency response mode when the brake failed. The brake failure of an emergency vehicle that is responding to an emergency has been cited as a contributing factor in several injury and Line of Defense Death (LODD) reports, as well as in the lives of public. The department needs to start its own investigation into all contributing factors and root causes. Your statement can be used to assist in finding other potential problems with the maintenance procedures of the vehicles. Researching similar incidents from the National Institute for Occupational Safety (NIOSH) and the National Fire Fighter Near-Miss Reporting System’s database allows data to be collected and assembled into a form of information that can be used in the next step, implementation. Each of the 16 Fire Life Safety Initiatives (FLSIs) are intended to bring about actions. Research, accountability, and empowerment are worthless unless they bring about change. The implementation stage is where this occurs. Whether an event actually occurred or not (accident versus near-miss), the root cause and contributing factors must be assembled into a system to reduce the chances of it happening again. With regard to the chemical industry, some professionals recommend assembling the information gained from investigations and near-misses into “leverage points,: from which corrective actions can be instituted. Utilizing a system such as this would require results from all near-miss reporting and accident investigations to be entered into a common system. #RandolphHarris 20 of 31

If you see a fire truck stopped in the street without the lights on, be very careful. Sometimes there is an emergency, and you should not pass the fire truck. It might be a good idea to safely turn around and go another way because if you hit someone and they happen to die, you could be charged with manslaughter. Sometimes fire firefighters are getting back into their vehicle, and if you pass the apparatus, you may collide with a firefighter who is on foot. Also, be sure to look at their signals; sometimes emergency vehicles are in motion, albeit slowly, and drivers try to pass them, and this could lead to a dangerous situation. Also, if you are in an intersection when you see an emergency vehicle, continue through the intersection. Drive to the right as soon as it is safe and stop. Obey any direction, order, or signal given by a law enforcement officer or a firefighter. Even if they conflict with existing signs, signals, or laws, follow their orders. When their siren or flashing lights are on, it is against the law to follow within 300 feet of any fire engine, law enforcement vehicle, ambulance, or other emergency vehicle. If you drive to the scene of a fire, collision, or other disaster, you can be arrested. When you do this, you are getting in the way of firefighters, ambulance crews, or other rescue and emergency personnel. The concept of professional courage does not always mean being as tough as nails, either. It also suggests a willingness to listen to other people’s problems, to go to bat for them in a tough situation, and it means knowing just how far they can go. It also means being willing to tell the boss when he or she is wrong. #RandolphHarris 21 of 31

America is becoming so expensive that Americans are moving to Mexico in record numbers. The United States of America’s State Department reports that the number of American citizens living in Mexico has increased by 75 percent from 2019 to 2025 and has continued to grow to a total of 1.8 million. Many Americans are moving to Mexico and working at home for companies that are in the United States of America to take advantage of the lower cost of living, the natural beauty and the culture, and they are thriving. California is the third most expensive state in the United States of America. In 37 percent of counties, a family of four living on a six-figure income is now considered low-income. The average home price in California is nearly $1,000,000.00 USD, while the average salary is $96,036.00, meaning that most Californians cannot even afford to buy a home. California is having an affordability crisis. A single person making an income above $100,000 is now considered low-income in five counties in California. This distinction now applies to individuals living in Santa Cruz, Santa Clara, San Mateo, San Francisco, and Marin counties. The maximum percentage of your gross income that you should earmark for a monthly mortgage payment is calculated at 28 percent, and no more than 36 percent of your gross income to all debts, including mortgage. If you take 28 percent of the median household income per home in Sacramento County, homeowners can only afford a mortgage of $2,070.23 per month. And if you take 36 percent of their gross income to all debts, including mortgage, they should be devoting no more than $2,661.72 a month to these debts. The mortgage lenders must be using some kind of sorcery to get buyers into these expensive homes. To afford one of these homes using traditional guidelines, a household would need to gross $11,280.24 per month or $135,362.88 per year, but the median household in Sacramento County is grossing $7,393.67 a month or $88,724.00 annually, and that typically means two to four people in the home are working and contributing to the mortgage. Home prices in Sacramento County are rivaling the Bay Area, and in some cases, homes in the Bay Area are more affordable. Historically, homes in the Bay Area have been more expensive because they have higher-paying jobs, a larger population, and the Bay Area is a tourist destination. Contributing to the housing affordability crisis is Gavin Newsom, who has been lavishing illegal immigrants with taxpayer-funded resources and cash aid, when state workers should be receiving a 25 percent wage increase instead. #RandolphHarris 22 of 31

In 2025, many people in California saw their bills increase by an estimated $500 a month. This includes items such as food, automobile insurance, homeowners’ insurance, and electricity. In fact, more than 3 million people in California are facing household hardship, and more than 300,000 of them are facing eviction soon. This comes at a time when California is having a shortage of affordable housing. The crisis is caused by nearly half a century-old laws that discourage home sales and encourage higher rents. The incompetence in California is very easy to see. From 2018 to 2023, California received $24 billion, which they used to fund 30 homeless and housing programs. These programs created 100,000 units. That is an average cost of $240,000 per unit. In comparison, Roger Lucas, owner of Grand Castle, LLC, spent $50 million to build The Grand Castle, which is a 522-unit residential apartment community in Grandville, Michigan. The community includes studios, 1 bedroom, 2 bedrooms, 3 bedrooms, and even a multi-level penthouse. Rents generally range from $1,000 to $2,500. The community is a 23.6-acre site. It features 750 covered parking spaces, a clubhouse, a resort-style swimming pool, and was built over a period of 12 to 18 months. The average cost was about $95,785.45 per unit, which is $144,214.55 less per unit than California spent. California also has the highest unemployment rate in the country at 5.4 percent, while the national average is 4.5 percent. As people are seeing their bills skyrocket, and minimum wage has increased to $20 an hour, people on Social Security retirement are really bearing the burden with the checks the typically equate to $5-$7 an hour. Furthermore, while Americans are struggling to find and afford housing, Gavin Newsom, Democrat governor of California, signed two bills into law on February 7, 2025, to protect illegal immigrants. Bills SBX 1 1: Budget Act of 2024, and SBX 1 2: Budget Act of 2024, allocates $50 million to protect illegal immigrants from deportation. Governor Gavin Newsom also granted 700,000 illegal immigrants free health care, which costs taxpayers $3 billion annually. At the same time, Newsom cut vital programs for veterans, school children, the disabled, and the homeless. The California crisis created by Democrats is driving up home prices and mortgages, and rents all over the nation and the world, making living unaffordable for all, and advocates say the crisis is far from over. #RandolphHarris 23 of 31

Meanwhile, China, where we are sending all our jobs and money, has more than 50 ghost cities, with 65 million vacant homes. Ghost cities are regions where housing has been overdeveloped to the point that these places are uninhabited. If they are all officially counted, California has approximately 4 million homeless people. The highest home prices in the nation, the highest taxes, and the most unfriendly business regulations known to man.  Because California is so hostile towards people and businesses, more than 360 companies have fled the state since 2020. Businesses like Chevron, SpaceX, Oracle, and Hewlett-Packard are among the names on that list. Also, more than 500,000 people a year are abandoning California because it is too expensive to live in, Gavin Newsom has criminalized homelessness and actually started arresting people without homes, crime is out of control, and they are losing their jobs due to companies relocating. More than 100 companies have announced layoffs in California for 2025. Intel is cutting 15,000 jobs, PayPal is cutting 2,500, and Meta has terminated 4,000 employees. California also has the highest unemployment rate in the country at 5.4 percent, while the national average is 4.1 percent. The California crisis created by Democrats is driving up home prices and mortgages, and rents all over the nation and the world, making living unaffordable for all, and advocates say the crisis is far from over. Accordingly, California has more than 3.5 million illegal immigrants. Having the Southern American border open and not having American farmland protected, not producing beef, poultry, fish, fruit, produce, and dairy in America, and without American goods and services being our number one manufactured and selling items, America has created a dangerous and significantly elevated risk to national security, national economic security, and national public health. Some people may believe that these claims are overstated, but by not routinely monitoring Common Vulnerabilities and Exposures (CEVs) or other security-relevant alerts, such as the end-of-life of machinery is how the Oroville Dam Crisis occurred in 2017. #RandolphHarris 24 of 31

Additionally, Democratic Governor Gavin Newsom seems to be uneducated about economics. Newsom has spent $1.2 billion taxpayer dollars renovating the State Capitol building and $300 million to try to stop proposition 50. Proposition 50 would replace the maps drawn by the state’s independent commission with districts drawn by legislators solely to gain or protect Democratic seats. Newsom only cares about the environment when his policies allow him to raise taxes and restrict freedoms. To further highlight this illustration of incompetence by Governor Gavin Newsom, Mexico has been causing one of America’s worst environmental disasters. Fifty million gallons a day of industrial chemicals, untreated sewage, and trash flow from Tijuana, Mexico, into southern San Diego County daily. This toxic waste has been turning up on Imperial Beach and is causing the miles of white sands to become polluted and the ocean breeze to smell of feces, which has been sickening residents and wildlife and costing San Diego millions in the form of lost tourism and health problems. The problem has been going on for more than a century, and by 2030, Mexico plans to dump one hundred and twenty million gallons of sewage a day into Imperial Beach. Other crises that have occurred due to neglect of critical infrastructure such as the 2025 Palisades fire. Southern California ran out of water because Newsom is totally neglecting the state and the American people. And while the fire departments in California are critically understaffed and underfunded, Governor Newsom vetoed firefighter pay raise. The Palisades fire cost $275 billion, which is money that could have been used to insure the State of California had the resources it needed. Furthermore, when Southern California is located next to an ocean, Newsom should have invested in desalination plants to help with the water shortage in California. The water in the ocean is so plentiful that it is currently eroding land and causing homes to fall into the sea. Desalination has been identified as one technology that will help solve California’s water scarcity problem. Desalination is a cost-effective technology that can transform an abundance of salt water into a reliable supply of potable, fresh water, which is a great way to fight climate change and have enough water for our region’s water requirements. Ras Al Khair, Saudi Arabia, is producing 1,036,000 meters (273,682,192) per day of desalinated water. #RandolphHarris 25 of 31

America needs an approach to eliminate safety vulnerabilities in American cities. There needs to be a road map by the end of 2025, outlining a prioritized approach to eliminate crisis situations in America. There is enough money to send aid to foreign nations, but the American government does not have enough money to care for its infrastructure, provide adequate resources, or end the affordable housing crisis. Nor is there enough money to fund other national critical functions (NCFs). These bad practices of putting America and Americans last are considered exceptionally risky, particularly to national security, national economic security, and national public health and safety. In 2024, Americans spent $100 billion on Japanese cars. As a result, the American automobile trade deficit with Japan was $39 billion. Additionally, Japan exported 1.4 million cars to the United States of America, but only imported 16,000 American-built automobiles. However, Japan imported approximately 143 thousand motor vehicles from the European Union. This is why President Trump created tariffs. We need to balance the trade deficit that America faces with other nations so we are not taken advantage of and so America can go bank to being a creditor nation, instead of borrowing money for other countries. Each year, President Trump is bringing $400 Billion in Tariff revenue into America and hundreds of thousands of new jobs. With this money, America is paying down debt, and with a portion of it, President  Trump plans to send Americans a stimulus check anywhere in the range of $1,000 to $2,000. However, if President Trump’s Tariffs are deemed illegal by the Supreme Court, taxpayers will have to pay back trillions and trillions of dollars. As we literally and /or figuratively see gangs, federal judges, and Governor Gavin Newsom fighting with federal law enforcement and President Trump– states and cities refusing to honor federal laws. Politicians are also showing an utter disregard for the Constitution of the United States of America, and anarchy is becoming increasingly common. #RandolphHarris 26 of 31

Anarchism is a cluster of doctrines and attitudes centered on the belief that government is both harmful and unnecessary. Derived from the Greek root anarchos, meaning “without authority,” anarchism, anarchist, and anarchy are used to express both approval and disapproval. The anarchist denies man-made laws, regards property as a means of tyranny, and believes that crimes are merely the product of property and authority. However, the anarchist would argue that their denial of constitutions and governments leads not to “no justice” but to the real justice inherent in the free development of human sociality—the natural inclination, when unfettered by laws, to live according to the principles and practice of mutual aid. Anarchism is also a form of treason. Treason, the crime of betraying a nation or a sovereign by acts considered dangerous to security. In English law, treason includes the levying of war against the government and the giving of aid and comfort to the monarch’s enemies. In the United States of America, treason was defined restrictively by the framers of the Constitution. Treason against the United States of America “shall consist only in levying War against them, or in adhering to their Enemies, giving them aid and comfort,” which is something that many politicians are currently guilty of.  The American government should know all exploitable vulnerabilities and fix them before the situation becomes a crisis. Failure to take such mitigating actions is dangerous and significantly elevates risk to national security, national economic security, and national public health and safety. The American government must understand that significant time and resources must be invested in America. They must also encourage corporations to plan for both mitigating safety vulnerabilities in the short term and eliminating them in the long term. For instance, a company might begin by reaching out to the federal, state, or local government and requesting tax incentives to provide security to dangerous communities, to help the government repair bridges and potholes. #RandolphHarris 27 of 31

Drug cartels have been threatening the health and safety of Native American communities. The trafficking of dangerous and illegal drugs into their territories is leading to a second genocide. The overdose rate for Indigenous people is 42 percent higher than the national average. A recent bust on Montana’s Blackfeet Nation’s Tribal Reservation resulted in the seizure of more than 700,000 fentanyl pills, which was the largest bust in Montana history. Recently, the Blackfeet Nation had to declare a state of emergency after facing 17 overdoses in just one week. There are only 6.8 million Native Americans left in the world, which is 2 percent of the American population. We should be doing more to protect these proud and honorable people; they should not want for anything. People rush and give away resources to illegal immigrants, but totally disregard the Indigenous people of this land, as their race silently fades away into extinction. We must secure our borders and increase federal funding to Native American tribes so we can save this precious population. Meanwhile, Gavin Newsom has given billions of taxpayer dollars away to illegal immigrants and protected them from law enforcement, while arresting law-abiding Americans because they cannot afford to pay rent or mortgage, and the homeless shelters are unsafe, overcrowded, and have restrictions on who is allowed inside. He has also totally ignored the cartel problems on American lands. Clean air, water, land, and preserving our heritage are extremely important. We cannot just allow criminals to kill off the people who are native to this land and do nothing about it. Wars have been started over governments that tax citizens without representation. Taxation without representation is what led to the American Revolution. #RandolphHarris 28 of 31

Much like the land crisis in Las Vegas, we could also run out of land to farm and will not be able to grow or cultivate our own food. We can protect American farmland and support American farmers by buying American made beef, poultry, dairy, and produce. Also, country of origin labeling is very important so Americans can know where their food is coming from and can support American farmers and ranchers. As money flows, it influences further investment. Save the land that sustains us by protecting American farmland. Once the land is built on, we lose it forever.  And in the future, there may be food wars. Also, to ensure that we have farmland and buildable land for future use, we need to start limiting the number of people allowed to immigrate to America. Perhaps with the immigrants we do allow into America, there needs to be a diversity program to make sure we have a population that equally represents all races of people. If Americans continue to spend money on American products, then more need to be made to keep up the inventory. When investors notice these goods are selling, it gives them the confidence to pour more money into that local business. It shows that people want these goods made in America and pressures investors to keep these goods and services in America. The jobs stay here, the business stays in America, wages naturally increase, and more money is invested to keep up with demand. This reduces the burden on the taxpayer. When you support American businesses, that money stays in our economy and can help to reduce the national debt. The government creates debt by borrowing from businesses in the private sector or from foreign countries. It also increases the national debt by spending more than it gains in tax revenue in a fiscal year. #RandolphHarris 29 of 31

When people shop locally, more tax money stays in the economy and goes to the government. This way, it keeps more money in our national economy and keeps more jobs located in America which also sends more taxes to the government, which can again help to reduce the national debt. When you buy foreign goods, these companies usually have lighter tax loads or exemptions, meaning less money for the national debt, plus you are helping to strengthen these foreign nations by sending more money overseas. Buying American-made products is also better for the environment and helps to reduce the carbon footprint because these products do not have to travel nearly as far. Furthermore, American companies and manufacturers are held to much higher standards on pollution. American companies must be more careful about air, land, and water pollution and have proper ways to dispose of waste. Under President Trump’s administration, he has make America a priority. President Trump has closed the southern border, illegal crossings have fallen to an all time low, and are 90 percent lower than under the previous administration. Since President Trump’s crack down on crime, violent crimes in Washington D.C. have dropped by approximately 80 percent. He has stopped thousands of pounds of drugs from entering America and killing citizens. And since President Trump took office, investments in America have increased by trillions of dollars in U.S.A. manufacturing, production, and innovation. As you can see, President Donald Trump and his pledge to “Make America Great Again” is exactly what America needs to save the country and the American people. And yes, diversity is important, so you can see why it is also important to preserve blonde hair and blue eyes, as the people with these characteristics are becoming a minority in America. #RandolphHarris 30 of 31

We must think before we can understand the soul’s existence; we must understand before we can realize it. The earliest beginnings of thought, as apart from instinct, when it was itself still but a lurking tendency, belong far back in primeval time. The human intellect as we find it today, so rich and developed an instrument for the consciousness of the ego, did not arrive at this fullness without a series of graduated stages. We have had plenty of scientific thinking, business thinking, and political thinking long enough, but we have had very little inspired thinking. That is the world’s need. The intellect is cradled in selfishness but runs the evolutionary track into reason, where it will one day finish at the winning-post of selflessness. As a reminder, parents, please teach your children to love America and be patriotic citizens, and to buy goods and services made in America. It is also important to respect law and order and treat your elders with respect. It is inborn in the human mind to wish to know. If this begins with the endless surface questions of a child’s curiosity, if it continues into deeper questions of a scientist’s probing investigation, it cannot and does not stop there. For the higher part of the mind will eventually come into unfoldment, that union of abstract reflective thought with mystical intuition, which is true intelligence, which needs and sees a view of the whole of things. And so, the knowing faculty enters the realm of philosophy. A lot of children are having problems in school and cannot even write a paragraph because they are not reading their books. When you actually read books, you get an example of how to write and will become a better student. Therefore, remember to take your education seriously so that you will be successful in life and make your family proud. Also, to make sure they have all the resources required, please donate to the Sacramento Fire Department to help improve our national security. “Oh, thus be it ever, when freemen shall stand between their loved home and the war’s desolation! Blest with victory and peace, may the heav’n-rescued land Praise the Power that hath made and preserved us a nation! Then conquer we must, when our cause is just, and this be our motto: ‘In God is our trust.’ And the star-spangled banner in triumph shall wave O’er the land of the free and the home of the brave.” #RandolphHarris 31 of 31

The Winchester Mystery House

According to locals, over a century ago, the land that houses The Winchester Mansion had been vacant forever. Then, sometime in the early afternoon of Saturday, March 13, 1886, Sheriff Angel Camilio began getting reports that a massive castle made of wood had suddenly appeared. Gables rose, towers peaked into the sky as the mansion mushroomed into a labyrinth overnight. The house’s sudden manifestation had been both disconcerting and fascinating to the community. Some felt dark curses flowing from the estate, and things moving around in the darkness. Others saw a fairytale castle glimmering in the spring sunlight. Perhaps this is why there are no records of construction, no blueprints, and no permits filed with the county. And then one day, a hearse came tearing through the gates, and in that hearse was a coffin, some believed it contained Mrs. Winchester.

Legend also says, when Sarah Lockwood Pardee (Winchester) married William Wirt Winchester in 1862, she enjoyed a life of extravagant luxury. William Winchester, President of the Winchester repeating rifle, became a very wealthy man through the sale of his guns, and the couple were among the elite New England society. She also told Mrs. Winchester they would kill her too, unless she moved out West and built a great house for the spirits. In addition, Mrs. Winchester was told construction on the house must never end in order to appease the spirits and keep her alive, perhaps even give her eternal life. Mrs. Winchester followed the medium’s suggestions, and in 1886, she moved to the Santa Clara valley just outside San Jose, where she bought an 18-room farmhouse and property to build her mansion. At its peak, the Mansion once stood 9-stories tall and had as many as 600-rooms. Today, the stately mansion is 4-storys, and over 100,000 square feet.

Experience an unforgettable journey back to the time of kings and queens with this entry ticket for The Winchester Mansion in Santa Clara, California, which was the residence of Heiress Sarah L. Winchester. Come and see what secrets this so-called, “Winchester Mystery House” may hold. Take advantage of this fascinating experience. After the tour, there will be time to enjoy the mansion’s splendor at your own pace. You might even discover secret passages that lead to hidden chambers within the mansion. These chambers served as safe places for valuables, precious documents, and as private sanctuaries for Mrs. Winchester, and allowed her to move stealthily throughout her home. At one time, there were even secret tunnels that extended beyond the mansion, leading to nearby Victorian houses that were also on the property, and other structures, creating a network of escape routes or hidden pathways.

Please come and enjoy a delicious meal at Sarah’s Café, stroll along the paths of the beautiful Victorian gardens, which once spanned 740 acres, all the way down to Stevens Creek Boulevard; wander through the miles of hallways in the world’s most mysterious mansion.
